Hey, Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay. I have 37 Mercari Bolo items items to be on the lookout for that I sold on Mercari and I don't think I have any clothing in this video These are mostly hard goods toys items like that items that I picked up at garage sales thrift stores the state sales Different places like that. Sometimes I pick things up on Facebook marketplace trying to get better at that these items sold faster on Mercari and They were cross posted to Poshmark and eBay And we're gonna get started here. I'm gonna tell you where I got it what I paid for it and what it sold for the first item I picked up at I believe this was at a garage sale and it was in a Ziploc bag with a bunch of other little Vintage mice and I was actually interested in the other mice more than this one But I actually looked up comps on this little guy and I believe this is a McDonald's toy From 1987 and the comps were pretty good. So I listed this and it sold pretty quickly for $14 and free shipping And let me see here. I think it's dated I don't think it actually said McDonald's on it, but from my research. This was a McDonald's like Happy Meal toy So how cool is that? From 1987, can you imagine the next item? I sold is this willow tree cherish Pregnant figurine. I do pretty well with the willow tree items. This is what they look like on the bottom and I sold this for $21 free shipping and I can't remember if this was a garage sale or a thrift store find But I typically will pay like a dollar for these The next item I sold I think this was in a toy box a tote that I had in the basement from a garage sale and I was putting off listing and I finally said I'm gonna list that tote of toys that's been sitting in my basement for a year and a half and They're selling really well, but this is another Happy Meal toy This one is from Taco Bell and it's creature Crips Wolfman and it's a toy figure and it sold for $16 With free shipping. So if you want to see more items that are Bolo's that are from Happy Meals You can check out my Happy Meal Bolo category video, but in that video, I show you the ones that sell for big money, not the bread and butter The next item I sold came out of a mystery box and it is an ERT L farm toy play set. So These are really really tiny animals very tiny and I sold this for $48 free shipping and probably had a couple bucks in it The next item is this vintage Boyd's cat. It's a Boyd's bear cat and it's six inches So it's just a little guy and it sold for $13 free shipping and I want to say that came from a garage sale And I probably paid like 50 cents for it. I do not pay much for those The next item came out of a mystery box. It's a vintage Power Rangers lost galaxy wildcat And I sold this for $20 free shipping. So probably had a buck or so in it the next item is this fridge phonics game and This was in good condition. It still had the box But it was pre-owned and I ended up selling this for $40 free shipping these magnetic You put the magnet inside the little Gosh, what do you call it? The little toy and it says like E and some of it has like tunes and sounds the letter sounds so it's educational It's phonics and these sell really well And I think I learned about these from dad planet So if you guys have not checked out dad planet definitely go over and check out his channel I think he did a Bolo video on these The next item I sold is this squish mallow eight inch Penguin plush and some of these are going for crazy money right now. I keep seeing posts in Facebook groups This guy I picked up at a thrift store and I sold it for $20 free shipping and I want to say I paid like a dollar for it The next item is this little bitty Moana pig Plastic toy. It's about this big I sold this for $11 free shipping And I think that came out of a mystery box So this is a vintage Disney Robin Hood figure toy Fox, you know what that actually may have been in that toy box too Because I think this was also This guy sold for $10 free shipping. So again, this is a major bread and butter item But it sold pretty quickly and you know, let's see ten bucks poshmark. Let's say take It used to be ten percent, but now I think it's more like 13 percent So a dollar thirty probably cost me three Dollars maybe yeah about three so three. Let's just say four fifty worst-case scenario So I made about five dollars profit on this item now You're probably thinking why would I waste my time? That's five bucks and it probably took me 30 seconds Maybe a minute to list it I mean Mercari is pretty easy if you're using your phone to list an item like this. So I Don't know it's up to you. You have to figure out what works for you, but five bucks for a Few minutes of my day. I'm willing to do that The next item I sold is this Fisher price loving family sofa and I sold this for $20 free shipping I picked this up in a big bundle of toys. So I've probably got less than a dollar in it The next item another willow tree again. I like picking up willow tree when I see it I believe these came out of a mystery box and I sold these for $42 with free shipping So probably had two bucks in it maybe three The next item I sold is this lot of action figures vintage to now Okay, so I probably could have listed some of these individually and I probably had like Five or six messages saying will you sell me this item? Will you just sell me that item and I'm like, no so I ended up selling this for a hundred and twenty six dollars and I paid the shipping which I think was around ten dollars and Mercari took their fee, but these were a bunch of items that were in that tote that I was telling you about and I Just pulled out some of the items listed them separately But these were the items that I lauded together and sold for a hundred and twenty six dollars The next item I sold is this hello kitty air-blown inflatable you guys if you see these You should definitely buy them. I sell these inflatables all the time They're a hot seller I picked this up at a thrift store I want to say it was $7 so I did pay up a little bit for this one and I sold it for $72 free shipping The next item I sold came in a mystery box seven of these trolls their little trolls from the movie These are not the vintage old trolls These are from the trolls movie and I sold these for $13 free shipping again. Some of you wouldn't waste your time I know it's not a big money maker. I probably made about eight bucks on it But eight bucks is eight bucks the next item. I sold another bread and butter. It's a kiss car and I think Mercari is great for bread and butter toys But it's racing champions is the brand and I sold this for $14 with free shipping So I probably have less than a quarter in this Let's say poshmark took two dollars Cost me three to ship it. So Let's say worst case. I've got six bucks in it so six So my profit would be about eight dollars I mean, that's pretty good in my opinion. What do you guys think? Tell me in the comments. Would you waste your time if you were only going to make a profit of five to eight dollars? The next item and if your answer is yes Um, I have a video. It's called would you waste your time or something like that? And it's all items that I sold for ten dollars or less and all of those items added up to quite a bit of money You know now what I want to sell those kind of items all the time No, but a good mix and your store brings in different buyers and I think that's great So this vintage spode Christmas ornament. It's from 1997 one of my um subscribers viewers pick this up as a gift for somebody else Um, and I shipped it out to them And I appreciate your purchase and she has purchased from me before Um means so much to me when you guys make purchases from me My links are down in the description. If you guys ever want to buy something that I have listed, please put um Make an offer and say bolo buddies or bb or something like that so that I know you're One of my subscribers and I can definitely work with you guys So I sold this ornament for 14 dollars free shipping and this came out of a mystery box It does have the original box. It was super super cute The next item I sold Where did I get this? This came from a garage sale and I think I paid five dollars for it, but I could not get Let me see if I can get see right here this little piece. I could not get this to go down So here here's a better picture So I just disclosed it and um Now I don't know how to get back out of here I forget what it sold for was the 85 dollars. I think it's sold for 85 dollars free shipping But I just disclosed it and somebody ended up buying it But um somebody was making me an offer I believe on ebay and they kept sending me lowball offers and I countered And then it sold on mercari for full asking price and I took the item off of ebay And they're like messaging me like hey, I want that item Where's it at and I'm like I sold it for way more than you were offering me So that one ended up working out This little lotus fragrance splash came from A thrift store and I probably have 50 cents or a dollar in it. I bought a bunch of perfumes In a lot and I sold this for 25 dollars free shipping The next item. Oh, and you guys have to ship perfume ground just fyi This paul patrol party supplies lot. I picked up at a garage sale I want to say it was like a dollar or two for everything and this big balloon right here by itself goes for decent money These are some tablecloths and I think this was a game and I sold this for 24 dollars free shipping The next item is this vintage boyd's bear puppet and it is You know an older item. It's got somewhere to it. You can tell this guy was well loved And I picked this up at a garage sale for a dollar and I sold it for 50 dollars free shipping The next item is this super splat paintball And the person actually Tried to open a return. They were upset because it didn't shoot as far or something like they thought They said that the box was open but It was sealed when I shipped it. It was kind of like a buyer's remorse thing But I will tell you that mercari did side in my favor and The buyer was not allowed to return the item. So I mean at that point they had Used the item. I would have gotten it back and I wouldn't have been able to sell it as new I did sell this for 60 dollars with free shipping and I was impressed with mercari's customer service on this transaction The next item I sold is this brat's doll beauty salon play set and I sold this for 45 dollars free shipping This came from a garage sale. I purchased a huge lot of brat's items I don't remember what I paid for it all, but I'm guessing I have a couple bucks or less in this The next item this is kind of a funny story. So In my unboxing videos, I kept saying I'm never having a garage sale. I'm never having a garage sale I hate garage sales Guess what? I did I told my husband. I'm like, let's have a garage sale this weekend. And he's like, okay So we ended up having a garage sale and we were sitting outside and I was like I'm gonna list some of the stuff in the garage sale while we're just sitting here So I listed these three, um PC games which I got from a garage sale that same summer Free it was like a free garage sale and it was a big box of These pc games So these all had the agatha christie on them and there were three of them and I'm like, I'm just gonna lot them up And I sold them for 20 dollars free shipping and I shipped them media mail So yeah, I sold something from my garage sale The next item I sold are these nintendo ds games and Free shipping 19 dollars. I can't remember where I got these I want to say they were at a garage sale and I purchased them together and it's like a buck or two The next item is this bill to bear dog cat pet bed And I sold this for 20 dollars free shipping and uh, that one Came from a garage sale. I bought a whole bunch of bill to bear stuff And I bought a bunch of american girl stuff and I bundled it together for One price and so I probably have a buck or so in this And this was a part of that also and I sold this lot for 37 dollars.  So it was a nice lot for 37 dollars free shipping This cinderella record it was vintage and it's really cool. It's red How cool is that I got this at a garage sale I believe it was a dollar if I remember correctly Maybe 50 cents and I sold it for 17 dollars free shipping and again this shipped media mail The next item I sold is this exploding kittens taco cat plush And it's just a little seven inch lightweight plush item again major bread and butter 10 dollars free shipping You know Probably made about five bucks on it, but it was pretty much free in a bundle of plush This little candle I picked up at a thrift store. I can't remember what I paid for it I may have paid a dollar for it, but it was vintage And again, you may not want to waste your time with something like this But I thought it was super cute and it sold for 11 dollars free shipping The next item I sold is this lcd quartz pen watch now I would have listed this higher if I knew If it worked or not, but what I wrote is no clue if this works Might be battery corrosion. I cannot check because it is seal sealed and it's sold as is may need new ink also I mean, I had no idea you guys know how vintage items sit and the batteries get that like stuff So I still sold it for 26 dollars free shipping if I knew that it worked. I could have gotten more But definitely a bow low item The next item I sold is this bill to bear angel costume came from a thrift store I think I paid a couple bucks for this one and it had another outfit And I sold this for 24 dollars free shipping This little, um, I think it's pronounced quarry kids And this is Cindy blues boo boo's and she's got a boo boo on her Knee, this is what it looks like on the bottom last summer I feel like I found these at all of these garage sales. I was going to and they actually sell pretty good Um, so if I see this brand I pick it up some of them go for more than others But they are definitely a good bread and butter item, but some of them can go for um A decent amount so definitely look them up And um, if you can get it for like a buck or less, I definitely say grab them sold for 17 dollars free shipping The next item I sold is this star wars. No water swirling snow globe. So you push the button and it has music and it, um The snow like flutters everywhere. It's kind of crazy I picked up three or four of these at a garage sale Over the summer. I think they were a dollar or two dollars each. I don't recall May have been two dollars each and I sold these for or this one for 26 dollars free shipping The next item are these 23 antique photo lot and they are all pictures of children and babies. So you can see here Really really cool lot this sat on ebay and actually sold quicker on mercari. I sold this for 54 dollars free shipping The next item this was a very long tail item it definitely took the right buyer and when it sold I was actually kind of surprised because um, somebody just had to have put in the right keywords because it had to have been very low because it has been listed since april and I sold this for 44 dollars free shipping. So definitely a bolo, but it did take a while and you can see right here It is signed Hoffman And the last item are these disney mickey mouse dangle earrings and I sold these for 16 dollars free shipping and I believe these came out of my I bought it on ebay to sell on ebay lot so There you go 37 Bolo items items to be on the lookout for items you can buy low and sell high and these items sold faster on mercari Thanks for watching and there's going to be some videos popping up here here and here and a subscribe I think right here if you haven't subscribed be sure to subscribe Please leave me a comment down below that does help the algorithm And like the video And check out another video and thanks for watching. Have a great night. Great day. I don't know when i'm going to post this It's night right now


Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to my channel if y'all are new. Today I'm going to be unboxing the 11-inch iPad Pro, so let's get straight into it. I just picked this up for my hub lockers at my apartment and I'm so excited to unbox this. I purchased both of these on Best Buy's website because Apple said it was going to get here like mid early June and I just couldn't wait that long so I tried to see what other options I had and Best Buy was able to ship within a week so I went for that one. So let's get into it. I'm going to start with the Apple Pencil and then we're going to get into the iPad Pro. This is the second generation Apple Pencil. As you can see it has a flat side so it feels more like a pencil when you're actually writing. It also has a matte finish which feels really nice and very sleek. Overall the design is very simplistic. They took away the end cap which the first Apple Pencil actually has and it's so annoying because it just falls off so that's why I had to buy this little Amazon thingy to make sure I don't lose this end cap because I was really worried about that. As you can see the second generation Apple Pencil definitely looks a lot better in my opinion at least. Now it is time to unbox my 11-inch iPad Pro. It is truly so beautiful and I like don't want to mess it up. It's just perfect. I'm in love with this design. I love the flat edges. I just feel like it's easier to hold for some reason and I'm really excited about this. It looks beautiful. Let's take a look at this camera. I actually have the iPhone XS Max still so it's definitely not one of the newer phones and I don't have access to the wide angle camera which this iPad actually does so I'm excited to use that. I will definitely be using it for like a couple of home pictures and more pictures inside my house. I don't know if I would really take this iPad out and shoot outdoors but I won't say never because you never know what could happen. The back is gorgeous too. I'm noticing these three buttons and I'm not sure what that's for. Oh I already got fingerprints on my screen so sad but it was beautiful to look out for that you know couple of seconds. So let's turn it on and we'll go ahead and set it up. Oh my god I forgot that there's no home button. That's so weird. While that's booting up I just wanted to quickly show you this is the seventh generation iPad. This is what I had before this. This one unfortunately died on me. I don't know how to fix it. There was some minor cracks because I did drop it but I really don't think that had anything to do with like it dying on me because it's been so long since the cracks but I did have the rose gold and I don't think I saw the rose gold option for this iPad which kind of sucked. I honestly just wish there were more options like I really like the space gray. I'm glad I went with that instead of the silver but I wish they would come out with like a nude color or like a taupe color. I think that would be so cool like not a rose gold but like more of a muted rose gold. I would literally buy that in a heartbeat but let's go ahead and set up my iPad. Let's create a passcode. I hate long passcodes so just going to stick to the four digit one. I'm going to try to restore from an iCloud backup because I want pretty much everything that I had on my last iPad on this one so I'm going to do that off camera as well. Like I previously stated the iPad pencil does connect to this iPad like actually connect with the magnet so that's what it looks like and it only connects to this right side. While it is restoring we'll just go ahead and unbox everything else so this is the charger and the cord. It is the USB-C cord and I'm just wondering what cord is it going to be next because I swear they always switch their dang cords. It's so annoying. My iPad has been restored we just have to wait till all these apps download. Now that I have my iPad all set up I wanted to talk about it a little bit more in depth after a couple of days of using it so my first impressions we can go over them again. I probably said them in the unboxing but the first thing is that it's really lightweight or it just feels like that. I'm not really sure if the weight is the same as my iPad's seventh generation. Maybe it's just the style that makes it feel just so much more sleek and lightweight. If that makes sense. Speaking of the design I really like the straight edges for some reason I feel like it's easier to hold for me. I personally think the 11 inch is the perfect size for me. I feel like anything bigger would be a little bit overwhelming. I've been using the apple pencil for the past few days and I found out that you couldn't swipe to go home which is really annoying because you have to like literally use your finger and switch from your apple pencil to your finger so that's just like one inconvenience that I found with this iPad but I mean I guess the last iPad that I did have did have the home button. Either way I guess I did have to use my fingers unless I like wanted to like press in the home button with my apple pencil but I don't know I feel like that's kind of weird. I wish they would make a gesture for the apple pencil to go home. Maybe I just need to research it but that's just something I found. Another thing I found which I thought was so cool is that if you take your apple pencil and just start drawing when your screen is locked it will bring up the notes app and you can just draw or write like down notes that you need. I think that's really cool for all those creatives out there that just have ideas pop into their mind like every five seconds and just need to write it down before like literally disappears out of their mind so that is definitely an exciting feature. If you're one of those people that are on the market for an iPad just to draw and procreate because I feel like there are so many people that are wanting iPads just for that reason especially during quarantine and no hate no shade because that is literally one of the main uses of my iPad but I definitely don't think you need to spend as much money to get this iPad pro. I think you'll be fine using the iPad 7th generation or the first generation apple pencil or just an iPad that doesn't cost this much. The one thing I will say this apple pencil allows you to shade when you like put the apple pencil on its side if that makes sense so that could be really helpful and procreate to any illustrators or designers out there. If you guys didn't know they did come out with a new keyboard that goes with the new iPads and this keyboard actually has the trackpad. In the past it was just a keyboard without like any mouse so you would have to use your fingers so it could act as a laptop replacement if you're really stretching it that far but personally for me like I need somewhere to plug my hard drive in or like I do a lot of video editing photo editing and stuff like that so even if I got a lot of storage on this iPad I really don't think it would like be sustainable for me. I just think of an iPad as an addition really. I'll be completely honest with you guys my uses for this iPad are not like extremely important they were to watch YouTube, watch Netflix especially while I'm editing on my laptop and that sounds really dumb because you're probably like why can't you just turn on your TV but there's just something about it like having it really close to you and like being able to like see that well because I don't know my eyes are bad. Another reason that I needed to get this iPad when my other iPad died on me is because I do make animations and procreate. I don't draw anything really that extreme but it is helpful for when you want to make brush strokes and like make it very customizable to put under text or even just like doodle on a thumbnail to make it really stand out. I also designed my whole photography website using procreate. I would literally just like doodle whatever I wanted to export it as a PNG then go to my laptop put it in Photoshop and make it how I exactly wanted it. Then I hired a coder off of Fiverr to actually do all the back end stuff so he pretty much saw exactly what I wanted on my Photoshop PDFs so he knew like where to place everything um because I'm not good at coding but I feel like I know exactly what I didn't want when it comes to like design and stuff like that so that was really helpful. I'll actually link down below my photography website if you guys are interested in checking that out. The last way that I can think of right now that I'll be using this iPad is to read my notes while filming. I feel like this is just so much better than an iPhone because the iPhone is way too small so I'm just gonna be like squinting out at the whole time and it's also even better than a laptop because that thing is like so chunky and if I were to sit it on my knee or something like that you would definitely be able to see it so it's nice to have this iPad with my google docs on it because that's where like I write and plan out all my things that I want to say. It's not really that I'm like scripting my videos but just make sure I have everything that I want to say to you guys. That wraps up this video. Let me know if you guys have purchased this new iPad or are wanting to purchase it and if you guys want to see more iPad videos like maybe what's on my iPad or how I use my iPad on an everyday basis let me know in the comments down below and I will see y'all in my next video. Bye!


OK, hi, everyone. Sorry for the delay. I visited the wrong stage. They changed something in the program. And yeah, I wasn't aware that I'm here. Yeah, so this talk is about, initially, it was about intent-based holistic data center management. And I had this talk in Frankfurt at the Cloud Expo, and then I renamed it a little bit. And it's more at the moment about intent-based infrastructure management with a focus on data centers. It's the target to manage full data centers in the future. But we are not yet there at the moment. So my name is Christian Bernd. I'm working with OpenStack for over 10 years. So I started with the second release, with an production deployment for SAP. And then I founded the OSISM company five years ago. And so we are OpenStack experts here from Germany. And at the moment, we are heavily focused on the Soren CloudStack project here in Europe to help Europe to gain on Soren CloudStack based on OpenStack and Kubernetes and so on. And the OSISM is a fundamental part of this stack for the reference implementation. So what's the problem we try to solve? So normally, you start with a new OpenStack environment on a green field. And you build something where you think it's a good idea to build it this way. And so you normally do not ask a lot of other people. You just do something that makes sense for the current requirement at the current time. But the problem is that the requirements will change over the time. And you have an infrastructure. So this is the infrastructure, this legal counsel. And this is your starting point. And then you have changes in the requirements. You have a new hardware type. You have new GPUs, or you have GPUs, or a new switch vendor, or a new data center, or so something changes. And one of the changes could be a scale up of the environment, new hardware is coming in, or a scale down. You have to remove some hardware. And the environment will change. And there is something called a flexibility corridor. So it's not a big deal to change smaller pieces of an environment. So you can scale it, or you can add a new service, or you can remove in service. But you have a problem. When you want to transform the whole environment to something totally different, so you want to rebuild the castle, you have your Lego pricks, and you want to rebuild them, you want to transform them after maybe three years. Because your base infrastructure layer changed from OpenStack to something else. And this is the problem that you then have to do this transformation of your existing infrastructure to another time frame, with another flexibility corridor, and then you have to change it another thing. And to be able to enable this, you have to master the scale, the flexibility, and the transformation of the underlying base infrastructure. And so what is required to be able to do this? You need a data center. Yeah, so we are focusing on Cloud Service Providers. So this is the data center from Hetzner in Falkenstein. And you need physical resources. So in the end, we always consume compute resources, storage resources, network resources. This never changed in the past. It was only a little bit different. But in the end, we always have those three types of resources. And then a good decade passed. We invented OpenStack, and we established a good infrastructure as a service layer to abstract the underlying physical resources with virtualization. Then we have Kubernetes today to abstract the infrastructure as a service layer, using Kubernetes as a service layer to be able to consume Kubernetes. We have something as a service, as in addition to the Kubernetes as a service, for example, database as a service, or messaging as a service, or as free storage as a service. And on top of this, we can run our Cloud-native workload today. And this is required to also be able to transform the underlying physical resources. So in order to enable the high dynamics on the workload, you have to build a long-term, reliable infrastructure with a high quality that does not change every then and then. So what we want to achieve is we want to have a railway as an infrastructure layer where you can build your Cloud-native workload on top of it and where you can change small pieces or can rebuild everything, but so that you do not have to rethink everything every day. And we started to implement this five years ago with our own Cloud. So the company has another name before, and we wanted to build an public Cloud. And we thought this is super easy. And yeah, it's not so easy. And then we invented this deployment framework and it's based on color and color and self-enabled and some other tools. And we started to use this tool for our own environment. There's a unique, not one-time engineer, but very unique. And yeah, this is good. It worked, but it's pretty bad for other customers. So then some other customers came and asked us to build on-premise something like our Cloud. And yeah, it was a nightmare in the end. And so what you have to do is you have to standardize the components. They have to be changeable and scalable and repeatable and understandable. This is really important. And you have to be able to integrate them with layers atop of them on the button. And when you have such an approach, then you can simply change the underlying components and can build something totally different from the same pricks. And yeah, to do this, we started with our physical resources and with pricks or components and plan what to do with the pricks. And then we decided to just use the ironic service as one part to manage the physical bare metal resources, to make the firmware management, to make burn intests and cleanups and so on. And we wrote something in Python so that we are able to manage network resources so that we can deploy configurations on any switch type. We can make the switch configuration. So we simply log in by SSH and we generate the whole configuration based on a state in the net box. And then we can control this via Ansible. And we can deploy them on the compute or storage resources. For example, an OpenStack cluster or in SIF cluster or in VMWare cluster or in Proxmox cluster. You can also mix them so that you can have one bare metal control plane for all physical resources in the data center. And then you can decide what you want to build with those physical resources. And this is the OSISM framework. So this means open source infrastructure and service manager. So a short term is OSISM. And this is simply consuming a net box as a single point of truth. And in this net box, we have the current state that is deployed on the physical environment. So the connections to the switches and what is deployed on a system and so on and so on. The current power state, is it already deployed or not? Is it in a good state or in a bad state? Do we have to apply another firmware and so on? So the whole live state lives in the net box. But the net box is, in the end, just in representation of what we have on the physical layer. And we consume it as an API layer. So this is not the point, so the single source of truth. So we make a difference there. We have a single point of truth on API layer for the view on the physical layer. And we have a source of truth, which is based on Git. So we have everything in a Git repository. We have a representation of the possible states of the physical resources. And then we say, ah, we want to have this state. This is applied by the OSISM framework. And then the current state is stored in the net box. And then we deploy everything on the bottom layer. And this way we can establish and Git ops workflow. So we can just push our descriptions or our configurations to the Git. And then the mechanism will take care of the new state. And this is what we are meaning with intent-based infrastructure management. So we have our resources. And we just say this system should be in Compute node in an OpenStack cluster. And then the system will take care of this and will transfer the physical resource to Compute node and will add it to the OpenStack cluster, for example. And this way, so this is now our environment. And to be able to be safe in the future, you have to transform your underlying infrastructure resources to something else. So today, we deploy our infrastructure with OpenStack. In the future, we maybe deploy it with Kubernetes. And then we will maybe deploy it with an serverless framework. But we thought it's a good idea to not think every single day about what could be the technology in the next day. We just want to be able to have our data center infrastructure resources. And we want to have a framework for the next decades that can just transform our underlying infrastructure to something else. And we do not want to reinvent the wheel every single day. So we do not want to think about how to resolve node firmware management, for example, in Kubernetes. We can resolve it with an OpenStack layer. This works with ironic. This works pretty good. So we think this is not necessary to change the next 10 years or so. And to do this, we have our GitHub's workflow. So when we want to do a transformation, we say in the configuration repository data and system should change. And be committed to the OS-ISM framework. And the OS-ISM framework will move the new required state in the NetBox and will then say to ironic, ah, you have to do something. And then the price and ansible part will take care of it. So it will remove the existing system from the compute cluster, will deploy something different on it. Maybe it will clean up the system. And when it's finished, it talks back to the NetBox and says, ah, here is the new state. We are finished now. And then it's always checking if the current state is reached. And this way, you can simply transform your data center resources in something else. Yeah. How does it in too much in detail? So this is the current framework. So we have on the bottom a lot of repositories for the current state, the inventory, the configuration repository. And we have some external services like ticket service where we store our state and so on. And we have external registries for the container images or for the packages we want to deploy on the resources. Then we have an OpenStack, what is just an ironic bare metal control plane, which can communicate with the out of band management interfaces. And then we can deploy on this at the moment compute nodes for OpenStack or storage nodes for SEV. Or we can deploy resource nodes, of course, for customers where we can then add and proc smokes on the Ember or something else. And we can also control the network resources. So when we say a compute node should be in this cluster, then the network configuration for the switch is generated on the state of the system. And we can just push out the network configuration. One of the things we want to archive is that we have a central change management. So we decided to not use Kubernetes as the base layer for OpenStack, because we think the infrastructure layer should be rock solid. So we do not want to have something there what makes dynamic changes. So we only want, when we haven't changed, we make a pull request or a git repository, we approve it, we merge it, and then the framework will do something. But we do not want to have self-healing or stuff like this. This can work when you have a bigger team or so, but we are focusing on, for example, supercomputers or for some critical infrastructure, where we think it's better when the infrastructure is in a state where we know this is the current state and exactly this is the state. And to be able to make this possible, we have a GitOps workflow based on then Ansible and container images based on Collinezible and self-ansible and we just deploy everything and then everything is fine and we do not touch it. And when it does not work, we have to heal it on ourself. So we have monitoring around and we have operators, but we think this is better for the infrastructure layer. And then we have a central secret management to be able to rotate the secrets in the infrastructure and we have a teleport. So it's what's boundary before and now we have teleport to access the deployed systems for the actual, so for the operators in this case. And of course, we expose some interfaces and APIs and data exchanges. So data exchange is for example, from a source for the metrics or exposed APIs is done for the Ansible or for the OSIS itself. Exposed interfaces is the rapid MQ management interface or the internal horizon dashboard or some other internal admin interfaces. So for the actor that they can access the infrastructure environment. Yeah, of course, who not? And yeah, so this is a way to get in contact with us and yeah, that's it, if you have questions. So the net box is an internal component which we use to represent the internal state. So we do not plan to have too much details in the net box because most of our customers already have a data center management tool or an asset management tool and so on and so on. So it should just be the source of the single point of truth for the internal state of the machine. And so we have integrated the Python layer and that's it. And we generate, for example, the Ansible inventory in something static and stored in a Git repository. And so we do not use some dynamic block ins that connect to the net box. Everything is static and stored in a Git repository in the end so that you can have a review of it, you can audit it and so on. Now everything is static. So we do a full description of what we expect to have in the net box. So the net box is in the end just a few on the state that is stored in the single point of truth. It's just a tool. So we do not want to make changes via the net box. So when you want to change an IP address, for example, from system, you make this change in the source of truth and the Git repository and then we will change the IP in the net box based on the state in the repository. And the net box is just there to have an API for our YAML files. Yes. So we fetch the current state from the net box and we generate then an Ansible inventory and then we use this Ansible inventory to identify changes. Yes. But only the current states. Yeah, exactly. So it depends if it is Ansible or Pison to access these switches. So for example, we implemented it for Microtik devices and there it's not so easy because it's not an enterprise switch and they have not a diff feature. So you have to calculate the diff yourself and have to apply the comments yourself on the switch and for example, there we use Pison to access the switch but for other switches we can use the Ansible modules for it and can just use an Ansible playbook that's generated. And this configuration that's generated is also stored in the Git repository so that you can add there and change management that somebody from the network operation team can have a look first on the network and we plan to integrate there, for example, a bed fish to validate the network configuration before we deploy it to the network switches so that we can pre-validate them and that they really work and it's not broken. Okay, so thank you for your time and enjoy the evening. Thank you.


All right, good morning cyber trainers welcome back It is Thursday only two more days until the weekend. I'm so excited. It's gonna be hot here in New York How is it when your neck? It was hopefully it's beautiful always got to talk about the weather? The weather is so important always makes you feel a little better in all those drowsy days You know over them, you know during the winter times and stuff like that But you know what it always has some effect in the market and we can see the market is down about almost 200 points today Good to see you Randy. Good to see everybody on YouTube Facebook live And We've got a bill of down market I guess some of the news came down regarding some of the job we claims stuff like that not looking too good a lot of earnings came out a Lot of bank earnings a lot of everything I tell you I'm a little concerned about the market It's been tweaking up there nice and slow. It's been holding there But but you know what who cares because we've been trading stocks like BLIN We'll talk a little about it the stock hit exactly at 830 great run 575 to 7 almost $8 you guys should be done for the day. This is why we trade in pre-market So we'll talk a little bit about it. I want to cover some of the stocks that we traded yesterday But also just like to remind everybody that we did a big event yesterday. We had over a thousand people You know yesterday at the well through 65. I can't believe how much interest Everybody wants to learn how to trade We had so many people that an interest in it and we're really excited for them Well, we're looking forward to you know, teach them and so on because remember I always tell everybody it's trading's not for everybody But what's the worst thing can happen? You learn something and find out it's not for you That's the best trade you can make but going out there and try to do it on your own Open up the wrong brokerage account this and that you learned a lot of the hard way But let's talk about what happened yesterday and there was a couple of stocks I just don't want to cover before we start going through our watch list. Let me just change this slide right here I want to talk about the VR PT Is that right they spell it right What was it the VR PX, I'm sorry type of minute typo So that one was pretty nice in a nice little move right there.  It was like pulling teeth though It wasn't this stock that we always liked but out of nowhere at one o'clock It just decided to bust out and went from like 580 all the way up to about eight bucks a share and then can add This nasty shake it wasn't the one of the nicer ones that we traded as in trend-wise, but it wasn't that bad Another stock that also did the same thing late in the afternoon. You had this MM and Matt this one also 365 went all the way up to about 470 nice little move once again, not the greatest Yesterday, I don't know. I felt like it was like pulling teeth a little bit DTSS yeah, that one was also that was probably the really good one But that was one thing Randy that was a great pre-market trade It just literally went from 280 up to 680. That was a pretty good move right there Regarding about as pop goes, but it you know, like I said, this is why you guys just take the money and run You know what I love about this trade right here was this trade right here when it did this nice shake right around here around 845 You see that right there and then out of nowhere at a 9 o'clock The thing just popped from like 480 went all the way up But you could see that once you got it when the market opened up It looks like it was like Tita tottering and you know that you know about the sling shot And then obviously we had that big little big move. Oh, yeah, we're gonna keep an eye on that stock, too I actually have it on the watch list DTSS Grant but thanks for sharing that and we had what else that we have yesterday that move pre-op B-L-I-N right so anyway, that stock obviously got a big hit We're gonna talk a little bit about that nice little morning right now on that one But but overall that's you know, that's what it was yesterday I didn't kill it, you know, I kind of like broke even I'll be honest with you and listen I got all of us, you know, the great The greatest of the traders and the worst the trade. I mean listen It's part of the game you're gonna win you're gonna lose but it's like fishing, right? I love fishing. I don't know if anybody fishes out there But as much as I ever get the opportunity, I live here on Long Island, you know, it's a wharf here He's got you got to put in your time You got to put in your time you got to be the right place the right time And that's what ends up happening and you see sometimes we get these stocks all of a sudden These are pop and just go bonkers. All right, so One of the stock I do want to point out and you know if you've been here for the last couple of days I did make a warning Remember yesterday, I was talking about AMC and I says guys I'm a little concerned I have a lot of my a lot of family members my younger ones. They're all part of that reddit thing, you know And I was asked Uncle Fausto, what's going on? Do I hold on AMC?   You see what I'm saying like so once again, you guys know that you were here I said AMC the gets past this 40. It's not gonna look good. Boom. You're already down to 30 Okay, this stock now looks like it could probably go down to 20 down to 20 So don't ever count your money. You didn't make any money until you sell it Right grant. Just take the money and run. That's really it comes down to it But I wanted to bring that up because you know what when the news starts dying off This is all the thing I am actually I think I've brought this up to Josh earlier Have you guys been hurting my cryptocurrency lately the crypto stocks every 10 minutes? It was on the financial stations crypto Bitcoin Bitcoin, you know Let the off all of them. You notice I've been trending down now. I mean, I think it just broke Where is it now? I didn't even know where it is. I think it was that like 31,000 something like that. You know, I mean the thing is when you hear news on and they keep talking about it That's what caused a frenzy, right? And we know as being said it be here at the cyber group room, you know, we see these stocks trending up I like look at this thing start picking up if it wasn't the pot stocks if it wasn't the EV stocks, you know, all those electric car stocks all of them It's at 31 70 pills. I thought you know, like I said it 32 is a very big support level on that. So once again AMC everyone's like, ah, you know what? This is just a shake with will hold in strong You know at the 50, you know, now you have 30, you know, they mean like what do you do? I mean remember crypto was at 60 at 66,000. All right, so you're not gonna hear him talking about too much. So Lot of money kind of remember this stock had it that thing had a huge run-up So I mean, let's talk about what we're gonna be moving this morning because there's a couple of stocks I want to keep an eye on I've got the BLIN Okay, now BLIN this is cool because when I was at when I did the walk through 65 I was showing people about level four and they were freaking out I mean like they're like my god is the best thing since life spreads So anyway, I want to bring this up for you guys right here and show you what's going on So when you go back and we look at the stock right here You could see that there was a nice little big iceberg order and the guy's been out there since about 830 So he was already out there when the stock made its run around 650 So those orders were out there. They were getting executed You know, you could see that they they kept going out there and they were doubling and tripling down Now you had that guy really at the number eight. We know that we know what eight means, right? All right, so on It's a whole number and that's why I came down from eight to drop down to seven Guy came in here right around seven bucks But you know, you're really looking at that big order and you see that red line That means that guy added and added and added remember, you know The big thing about being a good trader you got to follow the money for crying out loud That's what we teach here at cyber train versus you got to follow the big money So we got that one right there. That's doing pretty well Robert just traded the VR the VRB Nice, you know what I was actually gonna put that I was putting that on on on the second protocol list I Like that on the push. I mean the things doing pretty well I just don't like the trend of it's what's going on pre-market, but you know what you're right You did a great trade huge huge support levels right above to 285 Moved up right now. It's at resistance right close to three good trade right there. All right So we got another couple stocks. I want to bring up DTSS is going back on the watch list Stock was a fun stock yesterday. It came crashing down how to just have a nice little spot I like it. Just remember stock is Nasty it does these big Shakes so you got to sell into strength. Don't let the stock Dictate and tell you where it's going remember We taught you here and remember Josh was talking about this in phase one So if you guys been learning a lot from that CIDM is also going on the watch list You know, it's not like super exciting, you know, I'm looking at it It's not great, but you know, we do got a little bit of a trend here It did go up from like a buck 30 buck 50. I don't know.  I mean, there's another one that we traded this ATHE That a nice move buck 40 to 80 came back down to a buck 40. It's about 12% I mean, I'm not seeing a lot out there and Lsp this one right here just literally took off around 8 o'clock this morning ran from 3 to 450 came right back down So I don't know if that was a fake a head fake right there and Udi I can tell you I'm like really pulling to oh look at that This thing just took off right here. This one was actually all of that thing just literally. What's going on with this stock right here? I Don't know seeing all these prints out of these are late prints. What the hell's going on? All right Anyway, HULI that's very interesting. You guys need to see this It was one of my long shots on here I looked on it I put it up there and look at that thing all of a sudden just like prints everywhere But I'm not seeing anyone out here. This is weird Well, these transactions going on time and sales, but I'm not seeing the level 2 update Let me go check over here on level 4 and see what's going on HULI I mean, it's definitely volume coming in you could see the orders coming in here Yeah, it's weird. I don't see what's going on. That's weird. I haven't really I never seen something like that That's very very interesting very strange. I don't know if these are late prints So whatever coming in are here to coming in a little bit differently We're gonna watch this stock this thing looks really really wacky. There's gonna be an interesting one It's going right back on from the the b-list to the a-list Was it HULI? All right, so anyway, that's what you pretty much got going on. Yeah, they're probably late prints That's what I figured that they are anything else that we're missing cyber traders anyone on YouTube anything else That's out there that you not call out I know that sometimes things pop up around 9 8 9 o'clock in the morning you get these late prints I was going through the big percentage gainers not seeing a lot out there The alliance started back off and LSP starting to back off I'm not I'm just working off the big percentage gainers and losers DTSS is trying to go up a little bit higher That one looks good. I'm gonna have to probably wait listen yesterday I didn't do a trade until like 10 o'clock. I mean, I'd be honest. I was a late bloomer I didn't see anything and it looks like it's starting to do that this morning like yesterday But we all know things to pop up. All right, not seeing anything on it that also Okay. Well, anyway, so that pretty much does it listen guys before we go. All right Just want to kind of just show you something really quick today Don't forget we have Open house. All right, so today the 15th at 12 o'clock. I'm gonna be doing a live demonstration So if you missed the events that we've done in the past, don't miss this one right here 12 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.

Like I said worst thing can happen as you learn something. Good luck everyone happy trading


good afternoon everyone first and foremost I want to thank God for this wonderful moment it's such a pleasure to be standing here before all of you and I feel humbled to be given this opportunity to be welcoming all of you instead of scolding you I think now that you're graduating from that so college it means that you know what everyone else have to go through before you wearing your uniform properly making sure you reach class before 845 otherwise the gate is locked trying to finish your assignments trying to make sure your attendance hits 75% otherwise you might have to be penalized for something trying to participate in every single activity and still maintain your marks if you're a hostess trying to make it before they close the mess so that you don't go hungry because you miss dinner you know that it was not easy so before I speak further can I ask the class of 2023 to kindly stand up once congratulations I'd also like to thank all the parents your family friends for trusting the institution with something more valuable than possessions or anything else for trusting us to take care of the people you love and now for being with us right now to celebrate their success right now whether we like it or not our fates are tight you may have hated the college or maybe you love the college but whatever it is the name of the college goes along with you so if you are successful it makes us successful if you fail in what you do we also fail keep in mind that wherever you go now you bear the name that's so college and when you succeed no one will celebrate as much as you as this institution and all your juniors as well I hope that for each of you as you go on in life as you become alumni you don't forget where you came from that you will all keep in touch and be there for once in a lifetime moments like today I'm telling you this because the fact is with me and my friends and my classmates it didn't happen and if you talk and ask your parents how many of their college mates are they still in touch with it doesn't happen because as you go through life what happens also is you lose friends you lose them maybe to alcohol you lose them maybe to sickness you lose them also because some people become successful and some people feel shy to contact after that and some people just it's like they've just disappeared and you just nobody has any touch with them I mean nobody keeps in touch with them so for each of you I hope that at least during your time over here you have built friendships you have made connections which will last you for a lifetime and also help you professionally in life the most important thing I feel is that you need to remember that actions speak louder than words and in a society like ours right now we need the right actions so I hope that you keep this in mind all of you that when you become successful or you become reach a certain position wherever you are okay that there are enough educated people there are enough smart people and there are enough rich people in Nagaland but I think what we don't have enough is we don't have enough good people so the most important thing that I want you all to take away from this is to always be ethical please remember our college mission and vision you are here to empower people towards lifelong excellence and those people also include you because from here is just a start and once you empower yourself and you reach a position it is your responsibility to create a positive impact in the world what you cannot do is just sit at home and talk about the problems you need to now act to change and to make things right life is so unpredictable the fact that unfortunately even though we planned this event and I know our comment our honorable commencement speaker Nietzsche de Dulu really wishes he could be here we were just chatting a while ago and he said I am sad but something like the weather something like this is just so unpredictable a flight been canceled a flight been delayed is just unavoidable and I know that for each of you as you go on in your life you may face situations like this what do you do do you just throw up your hands and say I give up no we're gonna try to find a way and our commencement speaker is still gonna try to speak to you from the airport virtually in case there is a problem in the connection or anything please bear with us maybe that is the first lesson in life you're going to learn for your badge please bear with us and there will be something else you know to be said anyway afterwards in case that doesn't happen but please take our good wishes when I speak I am speaking on behalf of all the teachers I'm speaking on behalf of all the juniors and I'm speaking on behalf of all the entire that's all college community from the governing council to probably your parents and well-wishers who could not be here we want you all to be happy we want you all to succeed and we want you to always strive for excellence thank you very much good luck and God bless you


passed and that, good afternoon everybody we're here today to discuss the next steps we are taking to enable some of our young people to return to school and I'm joined by the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dratha Jones I would first like to put on the record my thanks to Dr Jones and his team who continue to work around the clock throughout this pandemic ensuring that ministers have the most up to date and accurate advice and evidence when we're making our decisions. Before I go on the subject of schools, I'd like to start with an update on vaccinations. The very latest figures, published just minutes ago, show that we've now passed half a million mark for vaccinations here in Wales and I am sure all of you would like to commend our NHS and everyone else involved in this tremendous effort. So on to education. Our independent technical advisory group are today publishing oedd yna yma felly rydyn ni'n gweithio'r ddau cyflwyno'r ddau. Mae'r gweithio'r ddau ar gyfer gyntaf oedd yn fawr, yn ddau'r cyffrediniddol gyda'r rhannu o'r haf, byddai'r ddau'r rhannu o'r gweithio'r ddau, yn y ddau'r rhai ddych chi'n gallu ddau. Yn oed, dr Jones oedd yn ffraith iawn i chi'n edrych a fyddio'r ddau'u ddau. Mr Jones. The Technical Advisory group has published a new paper today showing the current position of the pandemic in Wales and providing advice about how schools could start to safely open. We are clear that the ability to relax the current restrictions remains limited by the presence of a new variant which is more transmissible than before. However, with the R-value currently below one there is some headroom for a phazed return of primary school children iawn yn rhoi ei wneud roi'r rysg ond i'r ddweud o'r rhannu yn yllewyr. Felly, o'r ddweud o rheswm yn ystod, mae'n cael ei wneud o'r cyfnoddau sydd ymddangos yn y rhan o ddata. Rwy'n ffawr o'r ddweud o'r cyfle, yw eu chlas o'r cyfnoddau cyfnoddau a'r gwychau rhaid o'r positifitau yn gweithio. Ac mae'n gweithio bod i chi'n ddim gweithio cyfnoddau.

Mae'r gwaith ymlaen o'r oeddan nhw yn y swyddfa'n gwneud o'r sefydglwyr hynny. Felly, rydyn jagi'n ganwydda i, os yma ar y cram y newydd, a mae ansgen o'r teimlo wrth sy'n gwahanol gan gael a llach.

We will monitor this carefully alongside our other indicators in assessing the potential impact of any changes before each new phase of more pupils returning. Keeping the reproduction number, the R-rate below 1 is also an important measure in allowing a return to more face-to-face learning.

Good afternoon, Minister, and this is a question both for you and for Dr Jones, please. I'm at Abervargoid Primary School, where they very much would like to be back fully in action at some stage, but they've seen data, they've been discussing data today, which shows that the number of cases in primary schools remains very high since September 268 compared to 100 in secondary schools they see. As I said, at Abervargoid, they very much want to return fully into action, but can you reassure them with that data that it'll be safe for them to do so? Well, thank you, Adrian, and like you, I speak to teachers and head teachers every week, and the consistent message I get from them, from every corner of the country, is that they are desperate to get back to teaching their classes out at school, and sometimes I have to reign in their enthusiasm, only this week, talking to a head teacher of the North Wales who wants all of his children back. But we have to get that balance right between making sure that we can get some of our children back to face-to-face learning, but doing that in a way that is about assuring the safety within our school environments of building confidence, as well as managing the overall effect of more face-to-face learning on the pandemic. But let's be absolutely clear, head teachers and teachers and local authorities have done an excellent job in keeping the school environment as safe as it possibly can be, and that's why we're announcing additional monies today to help them carry on doing that. It is the activities around schools that cause us greater levels of concern, and Dr Jones can talk about the ONF survey and testing data that shows that for teachers and teaching assistants, then really they can have assurance that their occupation is not putting them at risk. I mean, the evidence is still very strong that in the youngest children transmission is low. They do not get severe forms of the disease and they do not tend to transmit it as much as adults or even elder teenagers. The one determinant that's been more obvious than any other throughout the pandemic has been the relationship between numbers of cases for pupils in schools and in teachers and the rates of transmission in the community. And we do know that, clearly before Christmas, our transmission rates in the community were relatively high and so it was not surprising there were cases in schools. But the transmission rates, as I described just now, are much lower now and I hope they will continue to fall and so we anticipate a lot less cases in schools than before. Even though transmission rates were so high before in the autumn with the presence of the new variant, the evidence around teachers' outcomes from a point of view of COVID infection and hospitalisation and death were very favourable during that time. Actually teachers have very similar rates of COVID to the general population even when community case rates were so high. So I think there's every reason to feel quite confident that the school environment is safe with the mitigations that the teachers have all to an amazing extent put in place. Thank you both for that and it's the second question also to both of you please. The Police Federation of Wales has written an open letter to the First Minister saying that the Welsh Government has renaid done its commitment to protect police officers by not prioritising them for vaccines. So I wonder if I could get your response from the Welsh Government minister and from Dr Jones to the suggestion that police officers feel unprotected on the frontline? Well Adrian, I just want to begin by thanking police officers the length and breadth of Wales that have been played a really, really important part in helping the government with the pandemic and understandably I understand they're very much on the frontline and I understand why they would feel concerned. I have to say we are following the advice of independent experts in the field of vaccines and immunisation. The JCVI guidance is being followed by all four parts of the United Kingdom and that vaccination priority list is aimed at reducing death. It's aimed at those individuals who we know sadly if they contract COVID-19 they are more likely to die from it and that's why those groups are being prioritised and of course once the first one to nine groups are completed and we are doing so well and we're on track to do that by the spring then obviously we await further JCVI advice as to who should be vaccinated next. I understand why police are anxious to be vaccinated of course I do as along with other frontline workers but we need to follow the JCVI advice which is aimed at reducing the number of deaths from this terrible disease. Yes I mean there are a number of frontline workers who clearly are feeling frightened about their risk when they come across people who may be infectious even if they're asymptomatic and one completely understands that. At the moment though the rollout of the vaccination programme is not about who we value most or about those that are more kind of meaningful to our society in any way it is absolutely focused on this issue of reducing hospitalisation and death due to COVID and the main risk factor for death due to COVID is age. We also know that those in the clinically extremely vulnerable group are at higher risk and they are part of the JCVI cohorts that we're going through now. If there were police officers or teachers who had chronic conditions who put them at risk they would be part of these cohorts now as well but the absolute focus first of all is to reduce the avoidable death rate that this is nothing about not valuing people's massive contribution to society but it is absolutely focused on reducing deaths. Thank you both. Thank you Adrian and we'll now move to Thomas Evans at S4C. You say that education is a priority for the Welsh Government so can we expect all pupils to be back in school before other level 4 lockdown restrictions are eased and to Dr Jones how realistic do you think it is that we'll see all pupils back in schools before Easter? Well Thomas it is absolutely our priority and we will take every opportunity that is afforded to us by this virus and by the people of Wales who have worked so hard to drive those case rates down and to follow the rules and so we will use every opportunity as part of the review process to use the headroom that has been created by people's sacrifice and hard work to get more children and young people back to face to face teaching. We need to do that gradually and we need to do it carefully and we need to monitor the impact of that but I can assure you in every discussion prioritising education is what the Welsh Government will do. Children and young people do I fear run the risk of being innocent bystanders in this pandemic. The pandemic doesn't threaten them directly so much as adults but they are threatened by the control measures we have to put in place to protect everyone else and so we are committed to seeing children back to school. It is not possible for all children to go back to school now we do not have enough headroom for that but we will be evaluating this change and if we can do more as the minister has said then more will be done. There are some reasons to feel that the position is more favourable than it was though. Case rates are falling and I hope will continue to fall because a lot of measures are still going to be in place for the time being. We are entering spring or it's not too far away so the weather will get better and we think that seasonal effect will help and of course as we roll out the vaccine the situation improves as well so I do hope that it will not be too long before children can get back to school but we are not in that position now. Back to you Thomas. Diolch am hynny. We have spoken to a teaching union who has called on the Welsh Government to guarantee jobs throughout their induction periods for training teachers who have had their education disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We have spoken about the need for additional staff and what the Welsh Government has already done to ensure that so will you as education minister make this pledge? Well we're very keen first of all to ensure that those teachers that are currently training to become fully qualified members of the profession are supported in that and our ITE providers, our universities are working really hard and can I say a massive thank you to what their host schools and their partner schools who are continuing to support the trainee ships of teachers it would have been so easy for those schools not to take part in those partnerships with their higher education institutions they've stepped up to the plate to ensure that that supply of teachers new teachers into the profession is able to happen. As I've said we've been able to employ an additional over a thousand members of staff in this academic year and we will continue to work to develop our recovery plans and I see an absolute future for our newly qualified staff in those programmes as we as we move forward. Now going to Adam Hale at the PA, Adam. Good afternoon to both of you. This one for the education minister. You've announced that pupils in Wales will return to the classroom earlier than those over in England helped by more favourable conditions here but lifting Wales out of lockdown will that have to happen at the same time as England is able to consider all the issues we've learned during the pandemic relate to issues of cross border travel? Well I think it's right to acknowledge that we're able to make this announcement today with regards to younger pupils returning to school because of the the figures that Dr Jones has just spoken about fortunately here in Wales we've been able to drive those figures down to such an extent that we can make this positive announcement as of our colleagues in Scotland who find themselves in a similar position. As regards to other aspects of the lockdown, the First Minister and the Welsh Government will always take steps that are the right steps for Wales. It would not be right for us to deprive children of their education in Wales when we're able to get some more back because unfortunately cases haven't dropped so far in another part of the United Kingdom but clearly for the reasons of clarity and people being able to understand and cross border travel we know that sometimes it can be complicated and where we are able to work in tandem across the nations of the United Kingdom then we will do that but clearly today we are able because the headroom has been created by the Welsh people to be able to get our children back to school after a half term for this particular age group. Thank you and for both thought or either review for this one. The UK government has said that all adults aged 50 and over should receive the coronavirus vaccine by May completed the JCVI's initial priority list. Is this a target that the Welsh Government recognises, is aiming for and has confidence to fit in? Well my goodness me you'll have seen from the slides the tremendous efforts that have gone on in Wales to add real pace to the vaccination programme. We are vaccinating more people per head of 100,000 than any other part of the United Kingdom and that is a tremendous logistical professional and indeed a community response. There are lots of volunteers out there that are assisting our NHS, our primary care practitioners and GP surgeries. It's a tremendous effort but Dr Jones I think we're on track to do just that aren't we? Yeah I don't really have anything to add that is that is the plan. Thank you very much we're now going to Abby Wittigedd Wales online. Good afternoon Abby. Good afternoon Minister. The first question is directed at Dr Jones. Good afternoon Dr Jones. I'm sure everyone will be pleased to see that younger children can start going back.  Who knows what are the criteria you're actually looking at? Where do we have to be on all those measurements you know the infection rates, the capacity in the NHS? Is there an actual criteria where you say now we can start bringing those older children back and if there isn't why isn't there? At times during the pandemic it's been quite difficult to understand the impact of opening schools because it's happened as a time when lots of other changes have happened as well but this is the most important change that's likely to happen over the next two or three weeks in Wales and so we will be able to evaluate it quite clearly. It'll take two or three weeks before its impact on numbers comes through but we will be looking at these sort of figures that I've shown you so we'll be looking overall at the case rates because a lot of other restrictions are going to be in place still exerting downward pressure on the R value, we'll be looking at test positivity rates, we'll be looking at the pressure on the NHS and if we can see that the situation is still, we still have headroom without R going above 1 then we can do more so those are the sort of measures that we will be looking at and it's also it's not just the absolute values it's also the direction of travel are things improving and on improving trajectory. Thank you. This next question is for the minister earlier this week minister you said to me that we needed to have a debate about perhaps shortening some holidays and perhaps having a longer fire break after in the autumn etc and or perhaps a longer Christmas holiday. What are you basing that on? Are you expecting next academic year also to be disrupted or are you just contingency planning in case it would be when you're suggesting those things? I think it is important that we also try to take a longer term view obviously the vast majority of work effort energy and attention goes into the here and now but I think it's really important and indeed Sage talked about this about trying to take a longer term view that allows us to plan more effectively. We know if we can take those decisions in advance it gives more time for professionals and families to plan about how they can manage their lives and allows professionals to have different methods of education ready to go and ready planned thought about how they're going to deliver it. So we do need to have those discussions as to what the pandemic or the disease may look like in the autumn then I think you know it is too early to tell but Dr Jones said earlier that we think that there is definitely a seasonality element to COVID-19 therefore we do have to think about what will the autumn and winter look like? Yes I mentioned the JCVI cohorts at the moment being vaccinated to reduce the death rate and once those cohorts have been vaccinated then the wider rollout across the population can start in order to try to control the pandemic and stop transmission but we can't until that happens there will still need to be some restrictions in place you can't just let it run riot through younger people for lots of reasons some of them end up in hospital some will get long COVID we want to reduce the harms of this and then again there is then we're entering the winter and the seasonal effect so it is unpredictable but we I don't think we'll be completely free of problems next winter either. We'll now move to Daniel Bevan at LBC. Hi Daniel. Thank you minister and Dr Jones good afternoon to you both this is a question for yourself minister there's been renew calls this morning to get teachers vaccinated now of course you've said today that you're following JCVI advice but you don't have to follow that advice that is something that you've chosen to do so will you follow it regardless of what they say at the next cohort or if they say that teachers aren't part of the next priority groups will you push for teachers to get them first jobs? Well Daniel when you're a part of a government that is set up an independent group of experts to provide you on advice on how to roll out a vaccination programme it would be very strange for that said government then to ignore that advice. Next question. And you've announced further funding for protection on face masks or excuse me protection and face masks that you would be at all considered using or making face covering mandatory in classrooms particularly for older pupils that have another part of the UK and this is for yourself Dr Jones as well. Do you think that that would help lower the levels of transmission in schools? Well Daniel you're absolutely right the effective and proper use of face coverings especially good quality of face coverings does have an important role to pay and obviously today we're talking about foundation phase children's and masks are not recommended not recommended for foundation phase children but clearly when talking about bringing older children back to school then we will indeed have to review whether it would be in the best interests of mandating them to wear face masks within the classroom setting they are already we already recommend that older children should wear face masks on school transport or when moving around the school where social distancing isn't possible but that will be part of our consideration when we begin to think about or we are thinking about bringing older children back to school but the effective use of face masks in the right circumstances done well of the right quality does have a role to play Dr Jones. Yes I mean our position is we recommend their use as the minister said I think to mandate their use and there's quite an issue about mandating anything on the public but I think to mandate their use we would need to have clear evidence that they were effective in protecting either pupils or teachers or reducing transmission in schools and that evidence doesn't exist at present but as I said before young children have very good outcomes from Covid and are generally the safest in our pandemic at present and teachers also have very similar outcomes to the general population. Thank you Daniel we'll now move to Andrew Foregrave at the Daily Post. Good afternoon Andrew. Good afternoon to you minister Good afternoon Dr Jones perhaps this is a question to you both but minister earlier you referred to the need for parents to ensure responsibility to comply with the regulations once schools reopen. Does this imply that parents and families are at the greatest risk to school infection levels and indeed to schools staying open? What I can say Andrew is that we know that when community levels of transmission rise that makes keeping children in school more challenging and more challenging because of additional cases but also more challenging in terms of people being asked to self-isolate because there are contact that causes real problems in ensuring that we have the right number of staff in schools that ensures that you know children aren't being asked to stay at home because there are contact so we know that there is a correlation between community rates and then the impact that that has on schools. Now I know that parents are doing the very very best they can my goodness me it is frustrating and challenging to be a parent at the moment. The message I'm trying to give to parents today is not because I believe that they have been reckless previously but we don't want the signal that their children can go back to school and say well that's okay I can go back to normal life with my child unfortunately we're not in that position so it's not because we think parents have been reckless in the past but we don't want parents to misunderstand this decision to allow foundation-faced children to go back to school to think well that's okay then we can go back to playing in the park together we can have sleepovers we can have play dates we can have birthday parties we really need parents help to help us keep the community transmission rates down because that means their children can be can be in school and we don't want people to listen to a bread or think that this sign means things can go back to a more like normal unfortunately we're going to have to keep on sticking to the rules that little bit longer but as Dr Jones says there is hope and there is optimism that things can improve so stick with it that bit longer back to you Andrew. Shall I come in as well just I mean I think we've learned a lot throughout the pandemic about what happens around schools and through contact tracing and the TTP program and while there's transmission within schools there's no doubt that does happen most of the evidence seems to be that it's about the social contacts that schools create outside the school so it's all the associated activities so it is partly the dropping off of children and picking up of children outside the school gate it's partly the after-school activities it's sports activities these are all activities around the school that bring families together in a way that helps the virus spread so we want to get children back to school but we don't want all of those other contacts to happen so there is a messaging issue here this is about children getting back into school safely but it's not about everybody else mixing more because they are still restricted to the same extent. Thank you to you both can I just touch on tourism many tourism businesses say they will not survive if they are unable to reopen by Easter can you offer them any hope at all? I recognize that this has been a torrid time for businesses right the way across Wales and particularly for our tourism sector and I understand why they're so keen to open up and I know that there will be many people here in Wales and indeed other places that will want to take advantage of the fantastic hospitality that our tourism sector has to offer but clearly we will need to keep all the science and evidence under review it is simply far too soon for me to be able to make a prediction now that that is possible but in the meantime you'll be aware that my colleague Ken Skates the minister for the economy has made available another round of financial support especially for the tourism and hospitality sectors that have taken a massive knock and I would urge those businesses to be in touch with their local authority if they've been in receipt of grants previously my understanding that those grants will be paid automatically but they should check in with their local authority to ensure that they're getting the support that they need and that they are entitled to. We'll now go to Andrew Nettle at the leader. Thank you minister this question is directed by himself and that has been some sort of worrying if the best word is probably caution about easing the lockdown as one rather than so there's been more worrying concern about easing the lockdown as one than there is about locking down and as a general rule concerns here specifically in north Wales either the figures whilst they're lowering are still some of the highest that are in Wales at the moment. Do you think that a national approach to schools will work and if a need arises will local authorities be taking sort of local action and has this been discussed as a possibility by government? Well thank you for that Andrew and I recognise that race and flincia and rexham are indeed higher but as the minister I have to make a national or Wales decision and that is that our expectation is that all foundation phase learners will return from the 22nd but we also understand that schools may want to have some flexibility in organising their timetable for learners you know and they'll be consulting with parents about the best way to do that and that's why we have built in some flexibility for local head teachers and local authorities to reflect on how best to do it for them. The rates in north Wales were for a period of time high we think because the new variants became the dominant variant there first in Wales but the pleasing thing since the restrictions have been in place over the last seven weeks is that even with the new variant being dominant the rates have come down considerably and the difference between the the worst and the best now is much much less than it was and converging all the time so we still hope the rates will come down and it seems quite possible and we hope it will be the case that they will still converge and so not the difference will not be so great as time goes on. Thank you Dr Jones and back to you Andrew. Second question is sort of down to Dr Jones. Doctor Aberton the Chief Medical Officer has previously said that Wales or the whole of the UK have been watching other countries to sort of learn and reflect what is best practice and what works and what doesn't come to bringing levels of the virus down and even despite working hard in the lockdown we still don't think we can see hundreds of cases a day and sadly deaths continue to be upwards of 30 plus a day across the country and my restrictions will still stay in place and they will be in place for quite a while if things are led to be believed by government. One more can be drawn to taking up these numbers and so where we can see a possible sort of like that going away in the summer when we had numbers very low and some data were happily important that no one had actually died from the virus. The technical advisory group that gives advice in Wales which the minister mentioned at the beginning does look very carefully at international evidence and international examples. It has an international subgroup and every meeting has an international update on the state of the pandemic across the world and what different countries are doing. We do learn a lot from that. It is true that in Wales we've been hard hit by Covid and there probably are reasons for that in terms of the health of the population and some of the inequalities maybe that we have in at the UK but at the moment as I say the situation appears favorable one. We do have to persist with restrictions we know for the time being because with the new variant we think that to relax too quickly will cause it to take off quite quickly as well but it is in a much more favorable place than it was and I hope that will now continue. Thank you for that Andrew and that brings us to the end of the press conference this afternoon. Can I thank Dr Jones for his time and joining me today and can I thank the people of Wales we're only able to make this decision today about the return of foundation phase peoples to scores because of all your hard work and sacrifice and for that I'm very grateful.
