I'm going to leave it like that, otherwise I'm not going to talk about it. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Welcome everybody to the fourth, I think, edition of the SDN NSV government here at FOSTA. We've got a great lineup of talks today. So without further ado, given the various todays related to AV, I'd like to introduce Ray Kinsler from Intel, who's going to give a presentation on the path to data fame microservices, some of the things to do in containers as well. Containers, and I'm going to talk about containers in cloud native briefly. Thank you so much. Before I start, who here is from Brussels? Anybody from Brussels? Nobody from Brussels. That's amazing.  I had so much fun, I bought a t-shirt. And it's soldering irons, rescued machine shop tools, open source, and beer. It's a great combination. So I was going to give them a shout out because I had such fun there. So I'm here today, and I'm talking about data plane microservices. But I'll get to them in a little while. I want to first talk about some trends. Sorry, this is a rough agenda for what I'm going to talk to. I'm going to briefly talk about network function evolution. That's the wrong one. There we go. Network function evolution. Again, I'm going to talk about the containerization of network functions and why network functions are being stripped of virtual machines and why they're being put into containers instead. I'm going to talk about cloud-native network functions, why they're coming and what that means, and then I'm going to obviously summarize at the end. So I took great pains in making this slide to kind of sum up the general trend that I'm seeing, which is that network functions were... Originally, network functions were all built in ASICs. A lot of companies made very good business out of designing routers and switches and BRASs and firewalls based on ASICs. And then sometimes in the naughties, they became more and more software-defined and more and more put on top of general-purpose processors. But you could describe that the way that these boxes were designed was they were using general-purpose processors under the hood, but they were running very proprietary software underneath. They were running, you know, sometimes it would be a RTOS, sometimes it would be a CustomOS, rarely it was Linux. And the software tended to be mon... What I would describe as monolithic. So that software assumed it was the only thing running on the system, kind of like the good old bad old days of DOS when the software and DOS assumed it was the only thing running on the system and just grabbed all the system resources and that was fine. And that's typically what you tend to see with monolithic software. It owns all the cores, it owns all the system memory, and it grabs all of the IO. And anybody in this room who develops on top of DPDK, that's probably a very, very familiar to pattern that you're... Probably a pattern that you're kind of familiar with, right? It's monolithic. I own all the cores, I own all the... I own all the IO, I own all the memory. So what we saw then was we saw a drift from custom operating systems and RTOSes and those kind of things to Linux. And we saw a drift from proprietary software to more open source software. And that's when software-defined functions became... moved from being, let's say, monolithic on top of discrete appliances to being virtualized. Now they're being deployed in virtual machines. And this is roughly where we are today from 2012 on. We started to take network functions and wrap them up inside virtual machines and deployed them in OpenStack. And so we're in the age of virtualized network functions. Today what we're seeing is happening is that virtualization is... Well, you know, more and more of network functions are still getting virtualized, but some people are starting to play with moving away from virtualization to containerization. Now there isn't much change in the software design from here to here to here. The software design is still monolithic. The software design still assumes it owns all the system resources, whether that's all the resources of a virtual machine or all the resources of physical system. The software is still quite monolithic, except in this case it's getting stripped of the virtual machine and being put in the container. It's still monolithic software. But that's where we are today. That's moving on from the age of virtualization to containerization. That's kind of... we're on that precipice today. In the future, we have to ask the question and what's been happening today is network functions have been pulling the same patterns as data center software because this is exactly what happened to software in the data center over many, many, many years. So we have to ask the question is, if the network functions continue to follow the trend of data center software, will ultimately network functions become decomposed and be for cloud native deployments as microservices? Now, when I was back here... By the way, I've been working on this stuff for this long. When I was back here, people said these network functions will never get virtualized because they need to have deterministic environments. They need to have assigned resources. They need these kind of environments that are very, very certain. But yet network functions were virtualized. And I think we're at a similar point now where people are looking at embracing containerization. But I think it'd be too much to say that network functions will never become microservices. And maybe that's what I'm going to talk about a little bit today. First, let's understand the trend to containers first. Why network functions are becoming containerized? Why we're stripping network functions under VMs and we're putting them into containers? How am I doing for time, Dave? 15 minutes. Good man. So I'll make a long story short. There's a whole bunch of reasons. A whole bunch of reasons in here. Some people talk about a virtualization tax. I don't necessarily agree with them.  I don't necessarily subscribe to that view. Other things people talk about is the software licensing costs associated with virtualization. You've got to pay for the operating systems that run inside the virtual machine. You've got to pay for the operating systems that run on the host. You've got to pay for a hypervisor. And that's certainly good business for somebody. And then also, finally at the end, people talk about the complexity of OpenStack or the getting things done in OpenStack, the brittleness of OpenStack. People talk about all those kind of things. I don't think it's any one trend that's causing people to look at stripping virtual functions of the virtual machines and moving them into containers. I think it's a little bit of all of these. But if you take a virtual function out of its virtual machine and you put it into a container, its characteristics are still exactly the same. It's still monolithic. It still steals all the cores. It still steals all the IO. It owns a network card. It doesn't want anybody else. And then it steals all the memory. It owns all of the memory. So these are quite greedy. And I didn't really get it for a long time. I didn't really get what the core problem was because I approached it from a microprocessor optimization point of view. I was like, yeah, it's greedy, but that's how you get the performance. It uses all the cores because you don't want anybody else using the cache. It uses all the memory because it needs certainty. You don't want TLB misses. It uses all the IO because it needs that dedicated IO. And then somebody, I still didn't get it, but then somebody made a really, really good point to me. He said, Ray, he said the virtual functions that people are deploying today in virtualizations, in terms of management, in terms of your ability to deploy them, in terms of your ability to scale them, in terms of ability to realize scale out and scale up, look exactly the same as the discrete appliances that we were building 10 years ago. I've swapped truck roll for virtual machines that are almost as hard to manage. Does that make sense? So I've gone from a discrete appliance which every time I wanted to upgrade, I had to do a physical upgrade. It's improved the situation by moving them into virtual machines, sure. But if you have a virtual machine that's using all the cores in a single socket, it makes it very hard to do things like live migration. It makes it very hard to do things like high availability, failover. Those kind of things become very hard because the application that's inside hasn't changed dramatically since that application that was being deployed in the discrete appliance. It still is quite hard to manage. So that's why people are talking about application decomposition. And this is the 12-factor app. This is the template for application decomposition. Those people who practice agile development methodologies will be familiar with the agile manifesto. This is the 12-factor app. It's the manifesto for designing microservices. And what it really talks about, and it talks about 12 things, some of them are related to software development, some of them are related to DevOps. But the things that I find most interesting are the ones related to application decomposition. So your process, your application executes as an app of one or more stacus processes. It exports services. It has a way, microservices have a way of finding each other. You scale up by running multiple processes and running multiple microservices. And it's disposability. They come up and they tear it down very, very, very quickly. So containerization and cloud native are two separate trends. One is switching the VM for a container. The other one is taking the monolithic application that's deployed in the container and decomposing it into microservices. So I'm going to talk for a few minutes about what we've done to make containerization of network functions easier. So we've built the CPU manager for Kubernetes. So before we did this, in getting a very deterministic execution environment for a container from Kubernetes, it was quite hard. Now what we have is we have the same kind of things that you expect from virtualization, application isolation, sorry, core isolation, core pinning, those kind of things. These are now available through the CPU manager for Kubernetes. We then also built the, pretty simple, you want to get huge pages inside your container. We built the CPU, huge page enhancements for Kubernetes, which was basically a way that you could specify hey, my container is going to require huge pages, because it's going to be running DPDK or VPP or a similar-based network function that requires huge pages. And we also built platform feature, platform node feature discovery, which is basically if you need a node, if you need Kubernetes to put your container on a node that has things like AESNI, that has things like AVX-V2, any of those kind of platform features, or you might need a certain security accelerator. So Kubernetes now will understand that a given node will have those kind of accelerations, have those kind of features on board, and will now place your container on the correct kind of node. We're also adding platform telemetry. So, you know, this is something I talk about a lot, and I think Emma Foley, I don't know if Emma's in the room yet, but Emma will be talking more about as part of the BROMER project later in the day, which is that a lot more platform characteristics influence whether you're going to have a good experience or you're going to have bad experience on that platform and exposing those platform telemetries, so it's more than just CPU usage, it's more than just memory usage. It's how's your cache doing, how's your memory bandwidth doing, how's your PCI Express bandwidth doing, and we're exposing those up as well. And then finally, because we're talking about network functions, we get on to IO, right, the core thing. So we have MOLTUS, which enables you to provision. It's a CNI provider for Kubernetes, virtual multiple interfaces into your container, so you can have things like control and data plane network separation, you can do things like NIC aggregation. So for the first time, a container can have multiple interfaces passed through. There's other options on MOLTUS, there's projects like CNI Genie that do much the same thing. We have a bunch of different IO interfaces for containers. You have the traditional one that you're probably used to, which is SRIB pass-through passing virtual function into your containers. You then have pure virtual interfaces like virtual IO user, which is talking for talking from one VNF deployed in one container, network function deployed in one container to a network function deployed in another container to a virtual switch or onto the wire. Or then if you need to support socket-based applications deployed in a container. We have a new approach that's called the master VM approach. So it turns out that supporting socket-based applications inside a container is more problematic than you would think because it involves hairpinning traffic through the Linux kernel. So you might think you have a user-space-based virtual switch, you have a socket-based application, how does the socket-based traffic get from the user-space-virtual switch to the socket-based application? That's the hairpin through the kernel, which isn't great for scaling. The VPP guys are going to be talking later in the day about a very novel approach that they have to that solution. We have a new approach which is for DPDK, which is that you run your containers inside one giant VM and then you can use Vert.io to support either VNFs running inside a container inside the VM or a socket-based application inside a container and it all happens transparently. Okay. So that brings me on to Cloud Native. So what I've just covered, the breakneck rate, was how to take the work that we're doing to strip your virtual... just strip your virtual network function of the VM and put it inside a container. Ten minutes? Nearly. Okay. So now... Okay, let me pause for a moment. So we just talked about all of the activities that we have about stripping your network function of the virtual machine and putting it inside the container. But your characteristics of your network function haven't changed at all... haven't changed at all at this point. It still looks very similar to the network function that was being deployed on the discrete appliance 10 or 15 years ago. It still makes all the same assumptions. It still owns all the I.O. that are given to it. It still owns all the memory... it still owns large chunks of memory and it still owns all of the core. And one of my colleagues, Bruce Richardson, describes these kind of network functions as being greedy. They own large chunks of system resources and they don't share very well. So... we start looking at why this was happening and we found that a large... a large part of the reason why this is happening is because this is why that we designed VPP. This is the way that we designed DPDK. We designed it to make all of those assumptions in order to get good performance. But if you're taking... but it turns out to deploy those kind of applications because if you're the poor DevOps engineer that actually needs to go and manage your network of these actually executing in a cloud environment, it turns out that, as I said earlier, it's a very, very hard thing to do. So maybe... that's a square... maybe we're just a round peg and that's a square hole. Maybe we can't solve that problem. Maybe in order to get performance we need to operate with those assumptions. And we need to enable the person who's actually doing the deployment to choose. Maybe we need to stop making choices for the people who are consuming our software. And that's where my... that's the understanding that I'm coming to. We make all of these assumptions and then we make all of these assumptions for the people who are consuming VPP and people who are consuming DPDK. Maybe we need to get out of the way and let them make a choice for themselves.  But today we're not giving them that choice. Today they don't have that choice at all. So we need to empower them. So what we need to do is realize models that enable them some circumstances to give the absolute best performance on the system, but in other circumstances enable the most flexible deployments. And then to put the power into the hands of the DevOps engineer who's actually doing the deployment to make the choice whether they want to realize the most flexible or the most performant deployment possible. So we need to develop APIs for CPU sharing, for sharing I.O. and for sharing memory. So we need to be greedy when we need to be greedy and we need to share when we need to share. My son is in kindergarten. He's just finished kindergarten. His little catchphrase, they teach him at kindergarten, is sharing is caring. So we need to care more for the DevOps engineers in the world. But yet we need to maintain the same API, the same programmatic interface so the people who are designing the software don't have to manifestly change their applications. So something that we're looking at at the moment is how do you break up a monolithic application, an application that's used to owning all of a core. Well one way is you can build an in-process scheduler and it turns out if you look at projects like LibDeal, LibMil, they actually realize extremely fast in-process scheduling just 140 cycles for a context switch inside the process. And by doing that, you can actually move from a monolithic application to an application based on an in-process scheduler with a very, very light overhead for actually scheduling microservices running inside a DPDK based execution environment. Then if the engineer wants the most flexible deployment, the engineer should be able to flick a switch and have those separately executing microservices become separately executing processes. APIs don't change, environment doesn't change, but whether these become separate processes or these are separate microservices running inside the same application space becomes a DevOps choice, becomes a configuration choice for the person doing the DevOps engineer. And there are times when you want to be able to share, have multiple small processes that are able to do things like migration, able to do things like scale out, like cloud applications, and able to do things like high availability. And there are other choice other times when you want the highest performance possible. But yet by maintaining the same scheduler API, it's maintaining the same APIs for sharing CPU time, it then becomes a choice for the deployment engineer. We're doing work in the 1802 release to make the DPDK memory model lighter. So in the short term, I don't know if there's many people or engineers like me, but what I do today with DPDK is when I run DPDK and I give it like 128, I give it a large amount of memory and if it doesn't crash, I'm generally at school, right? So we don't really have a lot of introspection of how much memory DPDK is using. Whereas we're moving to model in 180, I think it's 1802 or maybe it's 1805, I think it might be 1805, where it'll be huge pages on demand. You'll only actually get allocated huge pages as you use them. So DPDK will become much better about sharing system memory with other processes in the system. And then you can imagine there are certain use cases that don't need huge pages at all, things like virtual use cases, things like containerized microservices. There are 4K pages in the future in order to make that happen.  Again, where we are today is the DPDK-based application. Uses all, it gets assigned all of the I.O. We've been doing, the guys, the guys in VPP, the guys have been doing great work in order to make VPP a more scalable platform, a more scalable V-switch for containerized deployments. So you can really have a very large number of containers talking to a VPP DPDK-based virtual switch. But there are also schemes, and I think there's a speaker later today who'll be talking a little bit about this, which is MDF-based schemes where you can use, maintain your V-switch, but then use hardware-accelerated V-switches. Again, for more decomposed I.O. So this is where we are today. DPDK owns all of the I.O., where in the future we'll use a virtual machine to do a better, where we're moving to, we'll use a virtual switch to do a better job of sharing I.O., and then very quickly we're going to move to models where we have hardware-accelerated virtual switches. But the important thing here is for the application, for the DPDK-based application at least, we want to maintain the same environment. You don't want as an application engineer to have to use different APIs in order to support different deployments. So that's why we need to maintain the same scheduling APIs regardless of whether the scheduler is the DPDK scheduler or it's using the OS scheduler. We want to have the same memory models, the same memory allocation APIs regardless of whether you're using huge pages or you're using 4K pages. And then we also want to have high-performance transport whether that's based on the V-switch or whether that's based on a hardware-accelerated V-switch. And then you give you Empower the DevOps engineer to say, well, actually I want to use in-process microservices because that's going to be the fastest execution environment. Or I want to use multi-process microservices. It's still fast, certainly not as fast as in-process, but that gives me a nice place between flexibility and performance that makes it much easier to deploy. Or you might look in the future even to have multi-node microservices, and that's microservices and running on multiple different nodes, communicating across multiple different nodes which is exactly what happens in cloud-native deployments. So I've kind of gone at that like a train, apologies, I hope it all made sense. So just to kind of tell you what I told you, we're moving from an age of virtual network functions deployed in virtual machines. We've done a ton of work to support the containerization of these network functions. You can go to our GitHub and grab our enhancement for Kubernetes. And we also have guidelines, application notes, and all source code are associated with it in our experience kit, which you can grab here. In terms of cloud-native network functions, these are things that we're adding to FTIO, VPP, and DPDK at the moment. One of the first things that's coming out is the new enhanced memory model, which I put down for 1802, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. It should be 1805, and that's coming at you pretty soon. And we're going to see more and more of these kind of features to do a better job of CPU sharing, do a better job of memory sharing, do a better job of IO sharing. So I hope all that made sense. I don't know whether I have the time for questions. You have about two minutes. More importantly, do I have any questions? One or two questions, Max. Okay. Any questions? I can be the de facto filling. So a question I have regarding cloud-native specifically when it comes to containerization. Microsoft is one thing. Cloud-native mandates a service mesh as implementation. And from my perspective as a developer into a containerized environment, I'm going to make different decisions based on whether I'm executing in a service mesh or not. How do we overcome that challenge to get to that flexibility that the user can choose? Because if I'm cloud-native, I don't get a choice. I'm in a service mesh, right? And that's maybe something that I'd like to get your perspective on. To be honest with you, I think that's a good question. I think Jan Meddev is talking today. I'm pretending to be Jan. You're pretending to be Jan, are you? So Jan's going to talk a little bit more about legato. I think it's a good point. I'm going to deflect and say I don't have a good answer for the question. We could maybe talk about it during the legato presentation. It would be a good time. I'm afraid that's all we have time for. That was a long question. Thank you very much, Ray. Charles Echo is coming up next. So a couple of minutes to let people...  Charles will be giving a presentation on Open Daylight as a platform for network program and building. Did you use a HDMI or a VGA? Sorry. I'm joined. Hi.


Imagine if marketing can feel truly authentic to you. Imagine that you could do marketing in a way that fits who you are and is welcomed by the world. So in this interview, I have a guest, her name is Maria Arradondo and she is an expert with a method called branding branding for archetypes. And I'm excited to have her share with you how it can help people like us who want to achieve success without selling our soul, how to do that by understanding ourselves better and therefore aligning our marketing strategies better with who we really are.  So Maria is a coach who specializes in authentic transitions. She mostly works with heart center entrepreneurs who are tired of fitting in the mainstream success model and feel that there must be a better way. Maria guides them to find their truth so that they can take a new direction that is more fulfilling and better aligned with their deeper self and their soul's success or the soul's desires. She also helps them find their own voice and path in marketing through her branding with archetypes process. Maria, great to have you here, thanks for doing this. Thank you George for the invitation. Yeah, so where should we start? I mean, you have this process that I think is fascinating and I've had some of my own clients work with you on it and they found it very helpful. But maybe you can start with kind of why this is needed especially now and yeah, go ahead. Yeah, thank you, great questions. Well, this all started when I became a coach seven or eight years ago and it started with an observation that a lot of my peers, a lot of coaches with whom I was training loved the coaching, loved being able to help people but none of them really liked marketing and every time I talked with them about marketing or business, they would just hide under a table like, oh, I hate to do this and you know, I'm not good at this. Oh, I just can't stand marketing. So I actually happened to love marketing even then and I love it even more now but what, so that's how it started. It started with this observation and also the observation that there's something wrong with marketing or the perception that people have around marketing and business also. And I think what's going on is that people have this experience of big companies of people trying to sell them things all the time and they think they have to do the same. They have to have a voice like some big brand or some big name in their industry and they don't want to feel salesy. These people who have already started the journey of self-discovery through coaching, therapy, whatever have already a level of awareness that makes them different from many and that's the difference. Like they are more sensitive to what's fake and what's inauthentic than many. So this doesn't mean that they know how to do it differently. It only means that they are sensitive to it. So what I have noticed with time and experience is that there's a lot of people out there also in the marketing space that say, I'm going to show you how. I'm going to show you how to be successful how to make six, seven figures, eight figures, whatever and people try because they want to learn and we are very eager to learn. So they try and it doesn't work. And then it's like, but I'm doing everything right. Or they think they're doing everything right. So I've done the same, by the way, I've hired multiple finger coaches to help me with how to be successful, how to make six figures and everything because I know what I'm talking about here. So over time I also realized that it's not so much about the doing. So you can learn how to do something. The real difference is the being who you are. And then once you understand who you really are, then you can maybe apply the success formula that somebody else has, but it really starts within. So I've been very, very curious and very attuned to authenticity and what makes one unique. And when I discovered this process a couple of years ago and I trained and certified in this, it was really life-changing for me. There was something that finally helped me put words into who I am, not just as a person, but also as a brand, like as a business. Yeah, so that was the answer. Wow, so I would love to go explore this branding with archetypes idea with the audience here as much as we are able to in this short interview. So give people an idea of what they can expect when they, is it a kind of a test that they take or an assessment? How does that work? Okay, so I think the first thing I want to say about this process is what branding is, or at least what branding is for me. Because we often think about branding like it's your fonts and your colors on your website and your logo, there's a lot of effort put into creating logos and everything. But for me, what branding is, it's really the creation of an experience. Like when people come in contact with you or with me, they have an experience of me or an experience of you. Yeah. But then when we try to expand our reach through social media, through writing, through videos, or maybe not so much videos, but still, a lot of our essence gets lost in translation in a way. It's like it's that who we are, like our essence is not, might be diffused. And also because we're trying to be like somebody who's already successful and we're trying to copy their voice. So what this does is that it sounds fake and not necessarily fake, but it sounds, so the person creating that message or sharing that message is not, yeah, doesn't feel really like it's me or it's you, right? It's like it doesn't feel really authentic. So by understanding what makes you unique, by understanding what makes your personality unique or how you stand out, then you can make the unconscious conscious. So you can use it intentionally. So this is what gets, this is what is highlighted through this process. And it starts with an assessment. So it's an assessment you take. It's a free assessment that I share with the people who are interested. And at the end of the assessment, you discover what your signature archetype is and then you're influencing archetype. So archetypes have been in this world forever and ever. So, but there's, they're present in tales and they're present in stories of all kinds. And they are really like, not models, but there's ways to understand people, things, stories. So it's like, you can really find all these assessment, what it does, it helps you understand which two are most dominantly present in you. That's great. And give us an idea of what some of those archetypes are, if it's possible to do that in this kind of situation. Yes. So I work with 12 archetypes. I work with a set of cards actually. I'm just going to show you what it looks like. So it's a card like this that has a lot of information on it. The idea of understanding what your primary archetypes are, at least in the way that I work with them, is to understand that each archetype has a way also to connect with people. So each archetype has a spiritual contract like a life purpose or a purpose, but there's also a universe that is created when you really embody this archetype. And this is what I help my clients do when they discover their archetype is like, what? First of all, how can you embody? What makes your archetype unique? And how does it show? How does it show in the presence that you're creating, in the universe you're creating? Just like when you enter a house, your house is not going to look like my house because we're different. So it's like, how can you invite people to enter your house so that it feels like your house? Not somebody else's house. So we also work with the brand Soul, which is really, again, back to this metaphor of a universe, like what makes, what creates this universe? Then I also help my clients understand the strengths that each archetype has, and also their type. And then we dive into how can they use this very specifically in their business, through words, through images, through everything that can be tangible. So it really expresses their soul in a way, or their business's personality. And then what I find even more fascinating and what my clients love also is how that universe that they are creating will resonate with a very specific set of people. And we also speak about that when we go through the process because each archetype attracts, and yeah, people who are looking for something specific. And when you know what this is, then it's much easier to communicate with people, because you know what they're looking for. And you feel also, usually what happens is that people, my clients feel very validated. It's like, oh, I never thought that this was important or useful. It's like, oh, and now I see it. I see how this might be useful and how my people will value this and how I can use this to talk about my work. So the right people come to me. Yeah, that's great. Recently, I have started talking about this concept of energy signature. I don't know how I came across it. I'm sure I heard about it somewhere, but I started using that term. I don't even know. Maybe the other people are using the term differently, but I'm talking about how we have this energy signature where it just resonates with somebody else who has a similar energy signature or something that's meant to be there. And no matter if we make mistakes or anything that we do, the energy signature is still there and it still attracts the kind of people who would find that interesting. But anyway, it sounds a little bit like that and I'm really excited that you're doing this for people. And yeah, so there's something that you talk about about deconditioning, self-awareness, deconditioning. Talk about that and how does that relate to what we're, you know, this authenticity and these archetypes. Great. So conditioning, if I start with conditioning, is the process through which we become adapted to our environment. So we become conditioned through education and through experiences. And I strongly believe that we are born innocent and pure. Like when we're babies, there's nothing. But then society and parents and education and everything which is us how to be and who to be. So what this does is that we forget who we are.  And all these messages paint who we are. Like they really, so they build a character. But this character also in a way takes us further away from our essence, from who we really are. And then we have a number of beliefs, number of judgments, number of things that really hide in a way what our true essence is. So the process of deconditioning is the process of noticing all these things, all these patterns of all these beliefs that are not really serving us. And one of them in our online business world is like, oh, we need to be like the only way to be successful is if you build a six or seven figure business. But who says so? I mean, there's somebody who might need six or seven figures to be happy and make a living. I may not need that, but I'm still, if I buy into that, then I'm becoming somebody else. I'm pursuing somebody else's dream or somebody else's needs. And in that process, I'm forgetting about myself. So if I start looking at myself and what do I need, what am I excited about? What do I long for? What do I want to create in this world? Then I can start to really understand what's important to me, what's important to me and how I want to do this? What's the path I want to trail? And this is how archetypes can help you because through this process, and especially when taking the assessment, people really get an understanding of who they are beyond this conditioning. It doesn't mean that there's no conditioning at all, but it means that this assessment is built in such a way that they can really see what they can't see.  You need a mirror to see that. So this is the mirror. This is the mirror that helps people like us really see what they are made of. Yeah, that's great. So anything else wanna share about the archetypes or actually maybe it's a good opportunity for us now to turn towards what do you offer business owners, entrepreneurs, those who want to discover their archetype, branding archetype? Do you do one to one? I know you offer a program that's coming up. Either one you wanna talk about is great. Yes. So where I, so my work really starts with looking in the world. Like to be able to start this deconditioning, you need to look inside, as I said, to who you are so that you can change the outside, the marketing part. And running with archetypes is part of that. And I guess I work one-on-one and I have this upcoming program where we look at all the different elements that I have talked about today. Like, first of all, understanding your archetypes. So what are they? So first discovering them, then understanding them, understanding how you might or might not be living in alignment with that. I'm going to put my own example here because I was running my business not aligned with my archetypes. And over time, what has happened is that I've regularly felt exhausted and uninspired and almost like a fake. Like, this is not working for me. When I took the test and I discovered my archetypes, I realized that my business was being run by my influencing archetype, not the primary archetype. And this was causing a lot of effort. Like, I was really, really trying hard and I was really pushing and I was really, and it didn't work, my soul wasn't fed. Then when I saw that, first of all, I wanted to, I wanted to, I thought, no, no, no, this is not me at all. My archetypes in the right order are romantic and ruler. And I thought, I'm not a romantic, there's no way this is not true, this can't be true. But then when I understood what romantic really meant for me and how it's all about creating intimate connections and helping people also see, well, if I translate this into my business, how I can help people create this inner, intimate connection with themselves, it made all the sense. And then the ruler that comes second for me is about creating order out of chaos. So, all this to say that there's a moment when you need to understand where your business is run from. And there's a big shift that happens when you know which is the right one that drives your business. Because then again, it's like, oh, this makes sense. I can actually, there's really a sense that I see in my clients. There's really a sense of validation and claiming who they really are. So this is one of the things we explore in my four-week program. So we start with the assessment that I said before, then we look at the spiritual contract. We also look at this branch soul, so this universe that each archetype has and how to create it. The strengths, the challenges, the words and other elements that can be used to create this universe. And then we pay special attention to the clients. So each archetype's clients and how is that present or not in the way they are running their business and how they can better talk to them. So they can create better connections with them. Wonderful. Yeah. And is the four-week program, is it a group program or one-on-one? Yes, it's a group program and it's going to be small groups so probably between six and 10 people. That's great. Okay, very good. And you've got this running on an ongoing basis. I'm assuming, I mean, then there's one starting in May. Yes. Yeah, the intention is to run one every month or so. Every month, yeah, okay, great. So how can folks get in touch with you and connect with you? Yeah, so they can go to my website, which is pivotmundi.com, P-I-V-O-T-M-U-N-D-I dot com. And the specific page for this program is pivotmundi.com slash B-W-A group. Great, I'll be sure to, of course, have the links in the notes of the video so people can just click on the links there. Maria, thank you so much for doing your work and I look forward to seeing if anybody here takes you up on that offer and does the work and please let us know what you discover about yourself and your brand's soul and how you can do marketing more authentically going forward. Thank you, I will. Thank you very much, George. Thank you.


Y'all gonna quit playing with my guy y'all y'all gonna quit talking down about my guy y'all gonna quit running your mouths about my guy EDC because he is continuing to show you that he ain't done put in work He ain't done trying to make this team better He ain't done going through every nook and cranny and every crevice and crack of the Baltimore Ravens to try to make them The best team that he possibly can in the year 2024 team keep it clean boy get into this make sure you subscribe to the channel turn notifications on so you don't Miss not a single EDC update about the change the name of this channel to EDC viz because that man got us working Shout out to our guy EDC but subscribe to the channel turn notifications on and run them likes all the way up go crazy with it anyway EDC I remember the first week of free agency is funny because somebody had commented on a video and they were like man I didn't come here to see updates on the Philadelphia Eagles. I came here to see the Baltimore Ravens respectfully It's like okay, and I told him like look I Can't do nothing about that if Ravens ain't doing nothing. I can't make them do nothing Well, I mean y'all can because they be reading the comment section EDC be he be scoping the comment section like crazy But that's the only thing we could do so EDC was like, all right In grave of his turn into like a little NFL channel. He started getting jealous EDC starting to get real jealous, and he was like, you know what? I'm tired of seeing him make videos about them other teams I Need him to get back to the Ravens. So EDC just been going non stop crazy with it Now the Baltimore Ravens just signed a corner. We're gonna talk about that enough tomorrow probably but first let's talk about somebody who they are Scheduled to have in on a visit today But before we get to the visit they got scheduled today Let's talk about the previous visit with former Cowboys where I receive a Michael Gallup Remember what I told y'all now remember what I said do not be surprised if they do not sign Michael Gallup Because it's just a visit. It's a visit and a visit is where everything starts But that's not where it ends and when you start scheduling visits that means that are you trying to scope to mark it out You're trying to see what it's looking like see how healthy this play is see what kind of ability they still got You can only do so much on a visit or not But it's you trying to get to know to play a little bit better and see if they will be a good fit for your team But it's like a job interview and those of us that have been on plenty of job interviews You know that just because you're going to job interview does not mean that you got the job Trust me. I know from plenty of experience. But anyway, Michael Gallup apparently came and went we ain't heard nothing about him But now today up is Josh Reynolds Josh Reynolds is scheduled to visit with the Baltimore Ravens today And it's funny because when we talked about Michael Gallup visiting with the Baltimore Ravens a lot of Ravens fans was like No, no, thanks. I don't want it stone hands. He can't catch. He's always hurt.  What are you doing?   Uh, I don't think you should just oh, let's just take what's available because it's available No, I don't think you should ever do that You should still have high hopes shoot for the stars But then when the Baltimore Ravens, it was announced that they had a visit scheduled with Josh Reynolds Oh, my goodness. It was like a complete 180 from Ravens fans. They were like, oh, yeah That's the one. I much rather prefer him. Oh, yeah If I had the truth between Michael Gallup and Josh Reynolds, I'm going Josh Reynolds all day So Ravens fans are clearly impressed a lot more with this potential move Rather than a Michael Gallup potential move Josh Reynolds I had to watch him a little bit. I had to see what was Josh Reynolds looking like because he's Ravens fan They love him some Josh Reynolds was Josh Reynolds first off. He's six three Ravens fans been talking about they won a big body receiver. Uh, because right now is they flowers He's like five nine. I think Shaw Bateman, he's six one. So why was Shaw Bateman not a small receiver? He's not the big body receiver whatnot You got Nelson Aguilera. He's maybe six foot. I think Tyler Wallace, I think he's maybe five eleven six foot He got Mark Andrews, I say likely but they not received as they tighten So that's a whole different conversation But anyway, because they played a position different they line up differently. Y'all know that already So a lot of Ravens fans been saying we won a big body wide receiver Well, six three would be that and when you watch Josh Reynolds catch the ball This dude got these super long arms and it with with them long arms that allows him to make contested catches uh, so he could have a corner bag draped all over and He's gonna have the advantage because he's six three now There are some corners that are six three six four. It's very rare doesn't come around too often. He ain't got a bunch of Richard Sherman's and cam chancellors and uh, who was it was another guy at the uh, the seahawks head That was like six three six four. I think but anyway, um Oh, oh, what's his name now? Oh his name is sleeping on mine now. Oh Not Brandon Browner. Was it Brandon Browner? It was something like that. Anyway, y'all know I know somebody gonna know what I'm talking about but those guys they don't just Grow on trees. Well, they would literally be trees.  Um, but he he'll reach out and get it now with josh Reynolds He has continued to be a complimentary piece in the offenses that he was a part of when you look at His numbers. Uh, he started off with the rams Um, and that was back in 2017. He stayed with the rams for about 2017 through 2020 And then he got traded to Looks like he got traded to tennessee and then he went to detroit and he's been with detroit Ever since in 2020 2022 and 2023. He's been with the lions and if you look at him the past couple of years 38 catches one year 40 catches the following 2022 he had 479 yards three touchdowns 2023 40 catches And 608 yards and five touchdowns So that's crazy. You see how that average his average just went like way up Uh, so i don't know maybe him and jared golf.  He had 38 catches for 479 yards and average 12.6 yards per reception Had three touchdowns But just the following year he had two more catches. He had 40 catches He went from 38 to 48 excuse me 38 to 40 catches and went from 479 yards to 608 yards So he he increased his yardage by like 120 yards off of two more catches And and went from three touchdowns to five touchdowns. So Big big uh production there big significant increase in production there. Um, so that's a beautiful thing to see But now he's a free agent Now he's a free agent and He may have his opportunity. Will it come with the baltimore ravens? We're gonna see we're gonna see but I do know many ravens fans They would be all for this now in my opinion You had a visit scheduled With michael gallup. You had a visit scheduled with josh reynolds Um, this lets me know that the baltimore ravens Are looking around the league and looking at all these different possibilities To add a wide receiver and it does not have to be Via free agency just my opinion. I ain't hear nothing. I don't know nothing. I mean that fell outsider No plugs. No sources. No connects. No none of that But that's what that lets me know that they are looking to make A significant move at the wide receiver position. Now, of course we That whole the whole devote story That was funny. I mean, it was cool. I mean, I wouldn't have minded I think he would have fit perfectly, but air the costa He kind of shut it down because he compared it to the low racks and I assume like oh, that's a fictional story and He compared that debo story to just that um But he didn't shut it down And again, like we talked about that not saying that is true not not saying that is true But like I know people they they they saw what air the costa said. They're like, oh, man Yeah, the costa said that that's fake. Why would he admit to trying to trade for debo Samuel? Even if it was true He would never never admit that why would air the costa come out there and say Yeah, we've been talking to the 49ers about trying to trade for debo Samuel Because if he came out and said that that would only hurt his chances of getting debo Samuel because if he came out And said yeah, we were trying to talk to the 49ers about trading for debo Samuel That will let all these other teams know that he's available That will let all these other teams who may be interested in him be like, oh, you know what? Let's get on the phone with them too and let's let's try to trade for debo Samuel too So that will just mess up any shot that he had to land them But even if you take that whole story whether it's true or not out of the equation With the visits that he's had lined up again that that lets me know that he's trying to get a wide receiver for these baltimore Ravens now And I think that it means that they trying to add somebody else significance Do free agency or really maybe even do a trade Do a trade um Because you could go the route of the draft And I know that it's been talked about all this draft is its receiver heavy It's got so many receivers in it. Oh man It's a plethora of receivers that you could draft and add to your football team to make them that much better And that's cool But um, I think that erig the cost of like they tried with odell beckham junior last year And it was all right And obviously the the the bigger thing with odell beckham junior was bringing lamar jackson back And that was the mission accomplished Um, but I think with with the guys that they brought in thus far They are healthier than an odell beckham junior. Who is he visited with the Miami Dolphins? By the way, he left without a deal, but it's apparently said that they trying to agree on numbers So or they'll probably want this the Dolphins probably want to give him that Hey, we'll see that'd be cool though. Is there any odell beckham junior? Just his vibe and then seeing here with tyreek hill and that that'll be fun to see I hope he does go to the Miami Dolphins and the ravens play the dolphins next year too. By the way Hey, let's go. But anyway, um Those guys uh, josh reynolds and michael gallup and who knows who else it could be um, but they would be healthier Versions of what odell beckham junior brought to the baltimore ravens. Odell beckham junior was by no means bad At all for the baltimore ravens. Was he 15 million dollars worth? But he was not bad, but with those guys, um, they will obviously not be 15 million dollar contracts. They would not get that But the health would be there Um, they would be more available. I mean more ready to contribute That much more. Um, and they've both come from Offenses with significant passing offenses. Now baltimore ravens are not that yet Um, but they have definitely made big strides, especially last year In the passing game, but anyway back to what I was saying I really do think that this is letting us know Eric Acosta, he's trying to get a receiver of significance Now, I know like, uh, michael gallup or josh reynolds Those guys would essentially be like number two number three options um So we'll see but I do really think eric acosta trying to upgrade But and what happens a lot of times too something else to just keep in mind as we move forward um A lot of times stuff can be smoke screens And this has happened so many times, especially with the baltimore ravens, especially with eric acosta They could bring in this guy for a visit Bring in that guy for a visit All the meanwhile in the background They trying to land somebody else it happens all the time they do it all the time So that's something to watch out for This is baltimore ravens, baby This is business They be doing stuff like that. It always happens, man So and and we even saw it at a different position, but we saw it.  They scheduled to have a visit with michael gallup Hey, michael gallup, where this comes from? Okay. They having a visit with him. Then boom Who they end up signing they end up signing josh jones Like what you you you scheduled a visit with michael gallup Why are you signing an offensive lineman and then boom? Oh, josh reynolds scheduled to come in on friday Okay, cool. And boom. They end up signing a cornerback Also, who used to play for the texan. So I guess a them old texan players They like if we couldn't beat them last year, we're joining them But again, we're going to talk about that cornerback at a later time. But anyway, um That's something to watch out for the smoke screen the smoke screen because Ravens they they love them smoke screens. They love them Diversions they love putting your eyes over here all the meanwhile. They working on somebody Over here. So be on the lookout for the I mean you can't really be on the lookout for it because That's what they hit you with that swerve But that's quite so fun being a Baltimore Ravens fan. Anyway, team keeping clean I love y'all so much. I appreciate y'all getting subscribed to the channel turn notifications on so you don't miss any edc updates On this channel edc v's. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all Leave a lot run them likes all the way up go crazy with them likes man because it helps out the channel like crazy I know y'all are crazy. I'm crazy. We crazy together. That's why I love y'all so much team keeping clean We out


new Huawei laptop, the first Huawei laptop. That's right, this is the first Windows Huawei MateBook X laptop, which is their premium laptop design. Incredibly beautifully thin, as you may see right here. Does it type C? It is a USB type C, on one side. And on the other side, you also get another USB-C connector, as well as an audio jack. Extremely thin, very nice keyboard it looks like. Extremely thin, running a 7-gen Core i7 processor. This device actually also has no fan inside. And you may notice that on the power button, they actually use the same mobile technology used in cell phones to create a fingerprint reader on the power button. Meaning that you'll be able to quickly not only power on your device, but instantly authenticate things to features like Windows Hello to log directly in. Nice. So, and this is a, this is a nice big display. It looks like a high aspect ratio. It's not a wide display, very nice. Absolutely. Battery life is gonna be hopefully good because it's crazy thin. It was magic if they can last for a long time. All right, very cool. And available soon hopefully. I think they announced something about the price availability. You should be able to find out more on Huawei's manufacturer's website. It's currently upright now. And hope to go by and check it out.


race for impact, kind of being the safest position possible, and waiting for all of Ireland to stop.


Are you here? Do you want to stand and ask Alan your question? Hello So As an actor what impact do you think that television can have in the public awareness of scientific issues? And how do you think that that can best be used to get issues across to the public? Well, first of all, if it weren't for Masha wouldn't be here We as a matter of fact bringing that show up is an interesting example that I realized as I say it we We learned in the first couple of weeks that we had to have a Professional nurse on on the set when we did the surgery because we were making these egregious mistakes We were going from one patient to another without changing our gloves Pete I mean the people we were operating on would have been dead within a few minutes so we had that we had a A doctor going over the scripts to make sure that everything was accurate It it doesn't always work that way The the role of an advisor to help keep you straight and keep you informed It usually works like this the advisor says, you know, you really shouldn't do it that way and the producer says thanks Thanks for your advice And that's it I think it can have an effect in a subliminal way if you show a respect for science and avoid stereotypes like the mad scientist and Show people solving problems in a rational way It's it's like what I'm always I'm always annoyed with on a on a detective show They completely left behind the model of Sherlock Holmes who was a rational person and picked up on clues and Now that you can't have a detective show without the hero saying I have a hunch about this and The hunch is what sounds the hunch is the beginning first thing then you got to test it out So I think it I think there's some value, but what do you think you think well You're more of an expert in this than I am It's that balance between drama the drama the needs of the storytelling and the time it takes You think something like CSI if we had to wait for those centrifuges to do their work We'd watch them It wouldn't be so interesting. So it's the needs of the drama I think that overtakes it. Maybe that's what the producers talking about, you know But one of the things we found I don't mean but I mean and One of the things we found was it takes more time to figure out how to marry the Truth of the procedure Scientific truth to marry that to the drama But if you keep looking you can see where the drama is in the truth and you don't have to bend the truth You don't have to leave the truth behind That's that's the opposite of saying thanks for your advice That's that's tell me more Here's how we tell the story. Can you help us tell this story? using the real facts that takes Then you then you need to somehow Get the people producing these shows to be to realize you get a better story if it's true And then there's the human side I think that's one of the things which is watching you today and the exercises in the classroom It's it's getting in touch with that human side Yeah And I think sometimes the technology for example becomes a distraction to the human side of the inquiry and the rationality that you were talking about Touching the human bit Well, it will probably get better communication between television shows and scientists as scientists Learn from your center and our center How to humanize the scientist the science for the benefit of the people without losing any Accuracy, you know like my doctor in Chile. He said it accurately, but he said in the language. I could understand It's really important that we're not That I don't want anybody to think we're asking scientists to dumb down their science Accuracy, I don't think science was ever hurt by more accuracy Absolutely Thank you very much for that question my good. What a good one Now we also have because it's International Women's Day We have a fabulous question here from Brydie Moy. She has a question for you about women in science Brydie. Are you here? Hi huge fan So as an Australian indigenous female who aspires to become a scientist What advice would you give me to successfully communicate the importance of women in science?  You're gonna have to go through Fiery hoops that men don't go through. They don't have to there's a horrifying article in this past Sunday's New York Times about Mashed notes that women scientists receive from colleagues or from mentors, which is really scary people who can Hold them back by not giving them a good recommendation Letter the first letter is often very Similar that all these letters team seem to you you may have you saw that I saw that article The idea that the letters are typical the first letter is I have to tell you my feelings Well, who asked him for his feelings and then the feelings turn out to be that he's obsessed with her And she's gonna have to live with that. That's a horrifying position to be put in what do you complain or what? And I think the writer advises Her female scientists to complain right away straight away. Yeah That may be a whole separate course you teach You know it one of the hurdles is the stereotype that all women have everywhere I Talked with a scientist Who? Did one of these studies where I think there's been more than one done, but she told me about her study where She sent out resumes As if this person was applying for a job was the same resume to every department Half the resumes had a woman's name at the top and half had a male name and the ones with the women's names Were offered jobs less frequently Significantly less frequently and when they were for less money and when the question was asked Can do you think judging by this resume that this person is serious about science? Same resume the women got judged less serious. There weren't it wasn't the women. It was the women's names. So You you gotta you gotta know that's coming and you have to be prepared to fight it We all got to fight it. We got to educate everybody about that The other side of that of course is that I was talking to Christine about this over the week that Sometimes women hold them back hold themselves back From sort of doing any kind of emotional language you were talking about the immediacy of language and using emotive language to meet your audience and and Sometimes women scientists really avoid that trend so that they're not called emotional or they're not seen It should be and so you can kind of hold yourself back from those communication opportunities By giving in to that that kind of fear of being emotional one reason why I try to emphasize that We want to evoke emotion in the audience. We don't necessarily mean that you need to get emotional There is this real problem that women scientists have told us about that They don't want to lose authority. They're not they too often they come in because of the bias of the person Listening they come in with a perceived lower authority than they actually have but If I think it's still possible and we and we talk about really developing techniques to make this Clear and make it happen. I've seen plenty of women scientists who have Total authority but are warm and available at the same time The problem is when a man shows emotion he gets praised for it of a woman shows emotion They say well, she knows she must be having a problem But You can be warm and authoritative at the same time, and you know, that's why I always make that joke You don't have them a nervous breakdown. That's true for the men, too Thank you, Brydie. Thank you for that question So as part of our social media communication with everyone we we ran a little contest about what science experiment People would like to do with you Did you come up with one we've got we've got a couple suggestions here Quite a few people still like the Mentos and the Coke bottle now Mentos are those men Yeah, quite a few of you still like that A majority of the responders said that they would love to see you reconstruct the still That's funny We had a couple shout outs for your story on Alex the parrot Oh, yes.  I Was mentioned in the parrot's obituary It's the first time I'd ever had that honor Alex was it. Yeah, very nice bird Not like that cockatoo this morning What is that? How does that rank as a mating call? Do they get a lot of action with that They must they must So do you have a favorite science experiment? Maybe one that you do with a grand kid or something you've wanted to do a favorite favorite experiment that I wanted to do Well, actually I funded an experiment. Oh, I shouldn't talk about it because it'll go out over the media It's gonna be in my book and I can't can't I'm still finishing up the book So you'll read my book you'll find out It's really fascinating Great experiment, okay. All right Got the pitch in Okay, so Renee Hamilton has a question about science communication a Question near and dear to our heart Renee. Are you here? Yep? Great. Hi, Alan. Where are you? Oh, hi What two or three events or issues do you see is our biggest failure in communicating science effectively I Missed to have that thing so what are what are the big issues? What are the failures? What are the big issues that make us fail? Well, I know you have global warming climate change here as well as we do do you have this problem with vaccination here? Sadly, yes, it must be worldwide because it started in London, I think and totally Disproved that that it that it leads to autism and yet it still hangs on the people Who it's an interesting problem the people who are telling the story that there's a problem with it? Have a more vivid story to tell It registers in your mind. You can see their child. You can see their emotion my kid They'll say was fine until the vaccination. It's a real story The story that it's been disproven by research is not as vivid as story. I think it can be made vivid if we Go to your center in my center indeed. I like that. I like that but that's a rid that that those are two examples that of Possibly communication now interestingly communication doesn't necessarily mean more information It means more how the information is conveyed because I've read about and I can't tell you may know more about this I've read about this vaccination problem Not getting better when people get more information. They sometimes dig in their heels in the face of information and say no I know what the real story is. So there's and that's really what's at the heart of what we do I think it's not just spraying information at people. It's getting in touch with them in a way so that you reach them. I while while Christine O'Connell From our center the associate director of our center was doing her workshop today I was hoping I wasn't interfering with your workshop because I was writing down things. She was saying Because I had never heard her say this before she said Writing a paper Isn't communication. It's getting them to understand it Reaching them with it Getting into the other person's head that's communication Rather than what I am always complaining about which is spraying information at them What do you think are the big issues that are? Well, I mean along those lines, I mean one of the biggest issues of course is trust and if you start from the position that Scientists don't want to communicate or researchers Are sort of in a different position from the audience right that radical kind of thing where scientists can't communicate The public doesn't want to know if you start with that expectation I don't think your communication future is probably very bright And so there's trust issues those social trust issues. I think are very important I was like, you know, you touched on risk Risk you touched on risk is an important issue and you know when once a risk is identified It's very difficult to kind of work around that so people think that they're putting their children at risk For example in the vaccination case. That's a very that's a big barrier to communicate around. There's another interesting issue of Modified genetically modified food From what I read as a total layperson I get the impression that there are concerns About that if you plant a field of something, are you sure it's not going to get to another field? But eating food that's been genetically modified. It seems to me that is there's no evidence whatsoever That it's going to do any but in fact as we always hear from the people who know We've all been eating genetically modified food for centuries. It just hasn't been done in a test tube But it's been done in the in the farm But what about so what so Mike my question? I'd like to hear your your feeling about it Mike Mike my feeling is it's an interesting subject because There may be questions that it's appropriate to ask I Want to hear the public posing the appropriate questions that are that do represent real risk I want to see the public involved in raising questions that science has to listen to and respond to it Really should be a two-way street because they're going to be using the science So they they need they need to be asking questions about do cell phones cause cancer But they need to be listening to answers that they can trust Absolutely, but you know one of the one of the things that puzzles me a bit It is the limited number of forums that that can happen in yeah, I mean so, you know We talk about long-form journalism in much of the New York Times or the New Yorker here in Australia we have a number of outlets Cosmos is a science magazine popular science magazine But as as those are fairly rare beasts Yeah, it's very difficult to see where the forums are where people can ask those legitimate questions and get the answers and even follow up Yeah, and now it's reached the point where In a five-second thing on the news. They say new breakthrough cancer will be over next week great and it's so rushed and so Inadequate so thin Yeah, I just remembered another thing which I did for another thing that's oh, you know what I think is a real problem That we then more communication will remedy is that The public doesn't think like scientists enough. They don't ask for evidence They don't demand evidence. They say you know what I heard and they hear it from a neighbor often and That's good enough for a lot of people one of the things I think good communication on the part of scientists will do is Without even without even making a big deal out of it will accustom the public to look for evidence to think To think rationally evidence-based decision-making That kind of thing is really lacking And we make poor decisions we go to war we went to war with no evidence We did So Alan know today we did a very interesting exercise with you and Christine say that again We did an interesting exercise today with you and Christine one of your improv Treatments, and I wondered if we could do a mass improv experiment Okay, which one do you have in mind? I think we should throw a ball. Oh sure. Okay, okay Can we throw it to the audience? I'm just gonna make it one ball and we'll show you how with the ball here Let's get off. Okay. We don't hurt ourselves. Yes. Yeah, here. This is a beach ball. It's a beach ball. Okay Now throw it back to me. Okay, throw it back to you first So the idea is the ball exists because we agree on the shape and the weight So it should take the same amount of time to go through the air is a real beach ball, and it shouldn't change sides Okay, pass it around the audience Good stand up pass it around here. It comes. Oh, nice one. Whoa. Look at that. We got beach balls everywhere It turned into 17 beach balls Thank you Thank you all for coming tonight, ladies and gentlemen, thank Alan all that

Cool. Nice.


Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the maths reaction. Everton nil. Chelsea won the Premier League opener as ended in defeat for Everton. At the first time since 2011, I think Everton have lost the opening day of the season game. That was a home as well, I think it was QPR back then. Yeah, it's one of them today. I don't feel massively upset with the result. I think, I thought Everton did well up until the final third, really. I thought we played quite well in patches. I thought we looked well organised. Chelsea didn't really cause us any issues or too many, but we didn't have anything in that final third. The manager before the game sprung a bit of a surprise with no deli in the starting line-up. It hinted that he would be the one to replace Dominic Calvert-Lewin if it was Anthony Gordon who started off a centre forward. There was Premier League debut for Nathan Patterson, there was Everton debut for James Sarkowski and for Dwight McNeill. Everton started the game really positively. I thought they were in. Chelsea's face, they pushed them back a little bit early on and looked like they were at it really. And then the game, it didn't turn, but the game kind of had a break after 10 minutes when I hadn't seen it again, so I'd need to see it all again, but it was a comedy of theirs, really, by us messing around with it. Ben Godfrey, a poor backpast at Jordan Pickford, who slid to keep it in play even though the images that it was miles out on the lines of another referee didn't see it. It stays in play and Godfrey has to run back and put a tackle in on Kai Haverton. It resulted in what looks like could be a broken ankle or something like that for Ben Godfrey, which means at the very least four months out, if not longer. That's normally what those things are. 10 minutes into the new season and Everton's bad luck continues. I've said it before, if we didn't have bad luck, we'd have no luck at all. It is incredible. It's incredible, but it is what it is. Making Holgate come on, Everton had to defend the whole hoax, the corners. Luckily for Everton, they were in great corners by Rhys James, but resulted in Holgate just adding them out for other corners. In the first half, we'd had opportunities. A great ball in front of Marey Gray. Anthony Gordon should have got his head on and closed his eyes, it looked like, and didn't get near the ball when he should have done. You were left to think if Calvalloon was there, that was a great opportunity. D'Cory added another one wide. James Tarkovsky forced an excellent save from Mendy to tip it over. Everton, they play some nice stuff. I thought a lot of people were very concerned about D'Cory, and I thought the pair were excellent. Chelsea had a lot of the ball, but they didn't really test your own pickford. They weren't really a threat in the final third either. They were just very comfortable in possession. The only real thing they did was a header by Cooler Barley, which was like a back pass to pickford. They had the ball in the net, but it was ruled off, because it was a clean stailing after pickford. It made a little bit of a mess of Canty's shot, which he should have dealt with comfortably. Spilt it and stailing, knocked it in, but he was offside. And then, when the game looked like it was gone, we were gone to half time at 0-0. Everton gave the ball away cheaply, and it results in Chelsea being awarded a penalty. Again, I've not seen it. People around me haven't thought it was a soft penalty. But it looked like the quarry had a little push. It was checked, wasn't it, and they gave the penalty. That's Georgie, and he was so good from the penalty spot, that the outcome was always likely to be a goal for Chelsea, and that's what it was. We went in one down a half time, came out. The second half, and again, competed well, I thought. At some moments when you thought there may be an equaliser, again Chelsea did very little in the final third either. We had an opportunity with Damari Gray, with Thiago Silva made a good block from, and it deflected it wide. We brought De Leon, and he missed a good opportunity when Nathan Patterson went through and squared it too many. Instead of just hitting it first time, I think he tried to get it out of his feet and the opportunity was gone. There was another one that bubbled around in the penalty area. There was a claim for handball. There were numerous signs we got in and put over at the cross, or Chelsea dealt with it. So there was a lot of endeavour today, and there was some positive signs, but we were really where she ought in the final third. I think that from three, Damari Gray, Anthony Gordon, Dwight McNeill, I don't think any of them pulled up any trees today. Deli come on, and it was okay. I still think Damari should have started them, but that's for a different discussion. But I thought Tarkovsky was very good. I thought Nathan Patterson was very good. We also seen Ruben Van Agri come on as well in the second half. But the takeaway from it was that we lost Jerry Meeners as well. His injury, as Ben Goffries was a mistake by us, which ended up leaving Ben with an injury. Jerry Meeners was similar. He had the ball in so much space. He could have just played it back to Pickford, which was the right thing to do first time. I needed to be okay. Instead he tried to do a little shimmy to get away from... I don't know whether it was a bro, it was a stailing at that time, and ended up having it, and ended up going down, injuring himself, and he just looked and think, how do we pick up all of these injuries? But it is what it is. We've lost the opening game. We know there's, you know, we're hoping to get two more field players in. Am y dyw o nanas, deal is very close to completion, not done yet at the time we recorded this video. Eddyn nhw'n gwneud o'r opeth teams on Sunday now, on that'll be announced. Garnaw was still chasing. Chelsea had the cheek to bring Armando bro here on, and he looked powerful and big, we know that. I say the cheek, he's their player, you know what I mean? Just to rub our noses in it a little bit. Everton need a centre forward, they need a forward who's going to go up there and cause teams issues, and we don't have that in the squad, and that's what we need, so all focus I and Matin will be on that, because it was glaringly obvious today, quite good up until the final third, and then it's quite short in the final third, and we can't be like that for the season, even though I think today was a decent performance. Right, I've rattled on long enough. I'm going to give it to Tarkovsky, just because it was his debut, and I thought he had a good game, so James Tarkovsky, my man of the match. There you go, let me know what you think in the comments section below. Good video, thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't, otherwise enjoy the rest of your weekend. See you later.


I'm Suresh Raina, partner at Hydric and Struggles India Office and a member of the global industrial and CEO practice. In today's session, we have with us Pallavi Tyagi, Executive Vice President and Group Head of People Experience, Design Hub and Future of Work at Camp Gemini. Pallavi's profile spans the entire government of HR function in country, regional and global roles, including strategy, leadership, operations, manufacturing, talent management and of course diversity and inclusion. All of this with a strong focus on high emotional quotient, interpersonal capability and strategic stakeholder management. She brings with her a rich global experience as well having served in multiple geographies including North America, Europe, Middle East, China, Southeast Asia and of course India. Welcome to this talk today Pallavi and thank you so much for making the time. What are the most important trends to watch out for in terms of future of work? What are the skills and capabilities that the leaders will lead in your industry or sector or outside? Thank you so much for your questions Suresh and I'll take it in two parts. One is the future trends and the other is the skills and capabilities. The first we all know is technology. Technology has accelerated changes in workplace like never before and we are more than ever now looking at integration of artificial intelligence, automation and augmented reality. Think about how hybrid work and digital collaboration tools have become the new norm since the pandemic and this trend will continue to evolve as we move forward. The second trend is recognition. We all know that hybrid or remote work has forced organizations to rethink how they recognize and motivate their employees as a result of it. With hybrid work it's much more than about salary. It's about offering flexibility, work-life balance and meaningful work. And also an increasing trend that we are seeing is focus on employee well-being and mental health as well. The third is the organizational structure. Obviously with the first two coming in, the rigid hierarchical structures of the past are giving way to much more agile organizations. The organizations have realized that they need to be nimble given the uncertainty being faced given the market dynamic shifts since post pandemic. So we've seen a rise in remote or hybrid work model. It requires different set of management and decision-making tools and a faster pace as well. And above all diversity, inclusion initiatives are pushing organizations to re-evaluate their structures and ensure they are more inclusive and representative, not only internally but also the clients that they service. Now in terms of skills and capabilities, I'll much more talk about the softer skill aspects. You know that IT services industry is in a constant state of flux. Technologies are evolving, clients needs are changing and new challenges are emerging. So I believe leaders who will demonstrate adaptability will be more successful. They need to be more flexible, open to ideas and embrace change, especially when the opportunity comes forward for them to spot the opportunity to begin with. Secondly, IT industry is much more about people than just technology. Leaders need to earn the trust of their teams but also their clients. A trust-based management culture supported by outcomes focused on performance-based culture will also allow the employees to thrive. How are you approaching the needs of a changing workforce? We've got Gen Z, we've got Millenials, then we have got the Gen X, Gen Y and you are putting all of these in this very interesting dynamic of remote work, gig economy, hybrid workforce. How are you dealing with this? At a point in time, we can have all four generations in a team working together. I'll especially talk about a particular example that I'd like to take and it's often been talked about is learning, skilling and reskilling. We all recognize that Gen Z and Millenials thrive on networking, collaboration and engagement. I mean, that's the strength that the generation brings with them. So we are looking at a peer-to-peer learning as an area which is our focus and this is towards a culture of knowledge sharing. We're experienced employees, mentor and share insights with the younger employees. Another example with our focus on industries, we have thriving communities for our 10 industry focus areas which accelerates the learning curve. This is where learning happens by sharing and gives employees the freedom and flexibility to connect from anywhere and at any time. This is in addition to structured learning. We are building such an environment very consciously where we can leverage the strengths of all the generations coming together. If now you put all these different elements that we are talking about and then overlay it on a global map, it's only going to make it more complex. So you think this can be also applicable for the Indian HR leaders and how should we be working on this? Whichever part of the globe, the role of a leader or a manager, be it Indian or any other geography for that matter doesn't shift. The fact remains that our workforce has become more global and more inclusive in its nature than ever before. The workforce has become more dispersed, more diverse in its nature. As a result of which the tenets of inclusivity becomes extremely high. Now this becomes even much more with technology coming into play. So let me give you an example. When you're looking at technology, say an AI technology, you need to make sure that the data or the algorithm of AI which is done is also bias free for it to be able to deliver the work it is doing. And that can happen only when you have inclusive teams, when you have a global mindset of teams coming together and working. So I think technology is also accelerating the global mindset in certain ways. India is being now touted as the manufacturing base for the world. Which means we are looking at a high growth and we are looking to sustain it for a few years, hopefully. And as India gets ready to take the spot, how can we be better placed? Any thoughts, suggestions on our leaders while we manage this phase, this journey? I think just being adaptive and having an open mindset is very important. Because what worked, whether in terms of business models, organization structural models in the past may not work in current scenario and may not work even in the future scenario. In this kind of shifting market dynamic world, I think it's extremely important to just be agile. I think one is able to do that, keeping flexibility ahead of them. I really think whatever the situation demands, whether it be within India or be cross boundaries. I think the leaders and the managers can take good care of it. How is Camp Gemini preparing for this future workforce? And how are you ensuring you can attract, develop and retain the leaders you will need? We all know that there is a rising need for flexibility and adopting to it as well. There is an increasing need for diversifying a talent pool. So we are investing into creating a flexible talent ecosystem, which is frictionless is what we call it. And this includes freelancers, gig workers, part-time workers. This approach allows us to adapt more quickly to changing requirements from the clients while also fostering diversity of thought and experience. The second is sustainability is a very critical part of a strategy. We understand that future workforce values organizations when they see a commitment towards environmental and social responsibility. So by aligning our values to sustainability, we not only attract top talent but also demonstrate our commitment to a better future. Last but not the least, harnessing the potential of data and AI in our ways of work that we have already spoken about. So we very recently implemented an AI in-house based language model to analyze and classify our large volumes of employee feedback to give us real-time insights into employee sentiments and promptly addressing these challenges. As an organization also we are investing for instance 2 billion euros over the next three years to help the businesses to adopt to AI technology. So all of that of course leads towards us being future ready and making our workforce as well future ready. Do you see regional differences between Southeast Asia or APEC or Middle East versus North America or Europe when you're planning for the future workforce? Not really. I mean look the demand for more flexibility, diversity, focus on work-life balance, mental health and well-being, especially post-COVID-19 transcends global barriers and is more of a universal phenomenon. These regions bring in tremendous diverse perspectives and that definitely helps build in the kind of inclusive solutions that one looks for from a client perspective. So I would say the diversity in itself, these regions help bring in a more local mindset than before. What advice would you give to other CHR roles as they are looking to prepare for the future of work? Adaptability has to become a core value. The pace of change is accelerating, especially the market dynamics and this requires the HR leaders to pivot and adjust their strategies in response to the emerging trends. This includes definitely a fostering of continuous learning, upscaling within the organization and being open to technology solutions for our HR processes. I would also be particularly interested myself in learning how CHR roles are addressing employee experience in a hybrid work model. I believe that CHR roles can gain valuable insights from each other on how to create a work environment which is both productive and brings in well-being to the employees in the new environment and striking the right balance between collaboration while addressing potential challenges like burnout and isolation. Allavi, thank you so much for this very enriching, interesting conversation today. Thank you so much for inviting me as well, Suresh.
