Hi, this is Yoosup in Bhartiya and welcome to another episode of TFI Let's Talk. And today we have with us Mike Howe, VP of Product Marketing at Glowware. Mike, it's great to have you on the show. Great to be here. Thanks for having Glowware back on your show. It's great to have you folks, of course, back on the show again. And today we are going to talk about a lot of things, but I want to start with, I mean, if you look at the modern businesses, of course, there are a lot of businesses that were born in the whole cloud native era, a lot of businesses that were around there for a long time. Different businesses are in different stages of their business transformation. We talk about a lot of other things, cloud and everything else, but we don't talk about the importance of network. So I would like to understand, you know, the importance of not only network, but also the network automation or automated network as a platform, what role they play, not only in business transformation, but business are tied to success and a lot of other factors are there. So talk about that. That's a great question, I mean, I think it really kind of is starting to bring things together here with this theme and this movement that Gartner has really brought to bear called hyper automation. And that's this notion that, you know, while there's been such a focus on, you know, cloud and get to cloud and whatever cloud native and these other things is that large enterprise, you know, we're talking enterprises that their core business is not technology.  Technology is an enabler for them, but really historically they see technology as a cost and they see the network as a cost, right? And, you know, I kind of came up in networking myself in the early 90s and that's when networking was hot, really. That was the explosion of the internet and the network was considered where you'd want to put your resources. Everyone talked about building up the network. Nowadays, really the focus is on building out AI and it's, you know, the hot thing kind of keeps moving. Security has been really hot for a while. So what I would say is, you know, that while some of that say that focus in the industry has been taken away from the network, the network is still that key underlying layer that enables everything. And essentially without the network layer working and working efficiently and being secure, you don't have the plumbing for any of the applications to work. Your AI systems aren't gonna work, your connectivity to the cloud's not gonna work. And so, you know, I think that's where when the hyper automation movement now has been coming, it's a focus bringing it back to being really considering the end-to-end process or how the application is delivered and considering all aspects of that that does fundamentally start with the network. And I think that's a key hallmark to start and ensure your network is automated to be able to move on to those next, more complicated things. Talk a bit about, once again, when we talk about the cloud, the holistic, we talk about the storage, CPU is there, of course, networking is there. Talk about some of the challenges that, because first of all, in all the IT days, there were different silos. Storage was silent, networking was siloed, security was siloed, now we are talking about DevOps, everything is moving, shift left is happening. Talk about some of the major challenges that kind of looked like intimidating for enterprise customers. So when they look at their automation goals and they look at these as challenges. Yeah, you know what take away from that that I have, I can share with you is that there has been this significant move from task-oriented, which is silo-oriented behaviors to process-oriented behavior and business outcomes. And I think that's a key, it's a change that's happening in the technology, but it's happening in automation. And again, tied to hyper-automation, there is this movement towards you.  Well now, GlueWare is also, and other companies are on this path, applying process automation to the networking layer and enabling it through API connections and integrations to accomplish end-to-end processes. So when you do that, you're able to kind of begin to break down the silos. And this, we can really go off on a tangent here because it really does become a people process technology type of problem because you may have technology that can be integrated and span across multiple domains or silos, but if organizationally you're not prepared for that, it becomes a problem. And I think that's where you need leadership that sees silos as problems and is asking and challenging the organization to enable that kind of cross-pollination from a people standpoint and enable the technology and the processes so that your technology can actually automate end-to-end. And this is really key because it's not just about some technical change, like I have a foot in marketing, so I was kind of on that hype bandwagon for software-defined and for intent-based. And these are kind of technology approaches, but at the end of the day, you're looking at things that can transform the business. And so breaking down the silos, enabling especially things like automation to work across your silos from security and cloud and storage and the networking infrastructure to accomplish a business goal, that really changes things and it really ties to high-level priorities like compliance, security, and being highly efficient to deliver on a business initiative. You're talking about cultural point, but let's also talk about technical side-off because culture is a harder problem to solve. Technology is actually easier problem to solve. Talk a bit about what kind of solutions are available, and the creeper solutions are available, especially from Glover's perspective, which do kind of reduce some of these pain or address these pain points. Glover is in a unique position because in the industry, for more than 10 years, there's been this big movement towards automation equals programming. It means you have to jump into, in the networking world, you have to jump into Python, you have to learn Ansible, and it's a very low-level process. And while a lot of these technologies are open source, there's a lot of hidden costs. So from the management side, they viewed, well, are you automating, and your teams would say, yes, we're automating, but they never really dug into how and how long it took to automate and what the cost was to automate. So Glover's unique position is delivering a suite of applications that deliver automation capabilities really kind of out of the box with network inventory and config drift monitoring and configuration auditing, and then moving towards your configuration management, all with a no-code approach. And then about a little over a year ago, we introduced Network RPA, which is process automation, and that's really been a fundamental shift in what I was talking about earlier is evolving from task-based automation to process automation. Network RPA enables the orchestration of the automation, so you can do an audit before you make a config change or you can verify a state before and after an OS upgrade, and you can integrate APIs, so you can tie into things like your service now platform or your remedy platform, for ticketing ITSM or source of truth integration, and those API integrations, and I almost, not even jokingly, kind of talk about automating the automation. Oftentimes, people have automation, but they're individual low-level scripts or playbooks, and there's some human doing a lot of work before and after it, and ultimately, that's not highly effective. So that's where Gluer, with their out-of-the-box suite of applications that have purposeful apps as well as process automation, that's really where we're helping enterprises accelerate their automation journey. Talk a bit about some of the recent update. Of course, you folks came out with Gluer 5.1 as well. Just talk about some of the updates there, and also if you look at what is the evolution curve of Gluer, let's talk about 5.1, and then we can also talk about the next thing that you folks are working on. Yeah, absolutely.  We don't actually use the first number as a major only. Usually the first number indicates something really significant in the app. Like when we introduced our topology app, we went from our 4.x to 5.x. So 5.1 is a major platform release. It consists of about four months of development. We usually have about three major platform releases a year. And then we do package releases every two weeks. So sometimes customers or people say, well, I can't, how do you get new features in your product if you're only having two or three releases a year? And the answer is, well, we have package updates that come every two weeks that deliver functionality. So 5.1 had really kind of four key buckets of capability. The first is around our platform itself. We introduced a new centralized credential management. And I mentioned it a little bit before, but GlueWare, it sells into the very large and complex enterprise. A lot of them are in, you know, financials and pharmaceuticals and highly regulated industries. They have requirements around password management and things like related to that for compliance and conformance. So GlueWare's introduction to centralized credential manager really simplifies things and can assist with processes like when you add devices into the GlueWare system, you don't have to add them with credentials. All of that can be centrally managed and you know, you don't have to import and put, you know, some clear text password in some file or it just, so that that is really about centralizing and standardization on a highly encrypted password scheme as well as the ability to integrate with third party credential managers. So that was the first big rock. The second is around our network RPA app as I've been talking about the process automation. We've had really great adoption of this throughout our customer base. So we've introduced new capabilities like error handling with try catch logic, being able to import and export your workflows, a new state assessment capability that exposes our GlueWare's ability to just drop in state assessment at any point in a workflow. So a state assessment, you can think of like a show my BGP neighbors or look at my route counts or, you know, look at an interface status. You can drop any state assessment in anywhere in a workflow and just makes it very flexible. And then really opening up the platform to expose programmatic objects that start and stop individual tasks. And what that just really means is like, if you run like a state assessment where you're doing a show IBGP neighbor, you get a block of result and GlueWare can wrap that in JSON and make anything from that output programmatically accessible. So I can look at my neighbor count or various things like that. So that's really powerful. And the third major block, we introduced topology a little under a year ago about summertime, late summer this last year. And topology is built for the visualization of the network and generating site documentation. And we just layered in more advanced features to that like new layouts, link aggregation support, VLAN support. And then the fourth major bucket is just really expanding on vendor support. There's been a focus on supporting southbound APIs. So we've expanded our Cisco ACI support, our Cisco Maraki support and even added other vendors like Versa Networks in this release. So it is a big release and our customers are really enjoying digging into all the features and really expanding their automation. First of all, thanks for talking with us. Now, as I mentioned, you were talking about earlier the cultural, I want to go back to the cultural point as well. We see a lot of culture shifts happening. We talk about DevOps movement, DevSecOps, shift left, chaos injuring, SREs, platform injuring. Talk a bit about what kind of culture movement you're seeing from networking perspective where you still see there are still silos and what is the right approach, how organizations should approach network automation projects? Yeah, Swapno, I think that people are excited about technology again. And I think we can give some credit to the movement around AI and data and the importance of data. Someone said recently, I heard, well, AI and ML is just statistics rebranded. I thought that was kind of funny because you could take a topic like statistics and it's kind of very dry, but also you apply AI, ML and it gets exciting. And I think that's sometimes what we need in our industry is a little bit of refreshing to make it new and exciting again. I mentioned the movements around software to find networking or intent based. It's easy to get kind of slip into low level. Like when you dive into API automation or integrating APIs, it can get kind of bland pretty quickly. But if you're able to have a leader who understands process automation can be transformative to your business and having products and people who can integrate APIs and build end to end automation and can look at and evaluate how you're automating and ensure your company's moving up into more modern approaches. I think that's the trap we fall into in technology is kind of getting stuck in old technology for too long. And what Glure is offering and enabling customers is this acceleration path that's built on data modeling and that has built in API integrations and is fully customizable to expand those API integrations. And this starts to get exciting to business leaders because they realize they can accomplish those business goals of compliance and security and efficiency. So I think sometimes it's breaking down the silos, enabling cross pollination, enabling your technology teams exposure into the other areas that gives them growth. They don't feel pigeonholed and like just security or just storage or just networking. You get exposure into these other areas and see how things work end to end. And you really just expand in your business in terms of its ability to automate and its ability to deliver for the business. So I think that's a key takeaway that I'm seeing and it's a nice trend that's happening. I think there's new energy given to the networking teams and the infrastructure teams that are delivering technologies that ultimately power exciting technologies like AIML. Are you happy with the culture shift that is happening or you feel that this is what we need but not a lot of progress is happening and company need to do more of your like, no, we are on the right path, the trends are all positive. I have the pleasure of working with very large enterprises and I can tell you they often vent frustration because the larger the organization the harder to turn the ship so to speak, right? It's just, it changes difficult and change within organizations is difficult. So I think it does vary and I think that what you end up seeing is some of these old companies come under competitive pressure or they have a hack or something that affects their business, right? Like an outage or some, so sometimes it takes a catalyst to create the change that catalyst can come through new leadership joining the company or organizational change. We all know in technology there's this whole emphasis on efficiency and cost savings and there's been a lot of head count reductions in organizations and that puts more of an emphasis on automation and so I think that the cultural and those types of problems are kind of, let's say organizational specific but I think everyone realizes that efficiency is important automation is important but from a people perspective giving the people opportunity to grow and expand beyond their single silo or domain give them opportunities to learn and grow and solve unique and complex business challenges that I think things can get really exciting. We work with a very large pharmaceutical and I was working with an engineer recently and he said, you know, like he literally said like our company is working on solving or creating ending cancer really like the treatment of critical diseases. They're not, so technology is just an abler for that business to do that faster and I think when you can frame it in that perspective of whatever your company's goal is and that your technology and the work you're doing is enabling that then I think it gets exciting and that's why you see good leaders out there and leaders that are moving a little slowly and if you get out executed, chances are change is coming. Mike, thank you so much for taking time out today and of course talk about network automation and of course updates to BlueWear. Thanks for all those insights as well and I would love to chat with you again. Thank you. Thank you Swapnil, really enjoyed it. Take care.


The BBC has been forced to edit a 4,000-word article deemed transphobic after it emerged.  The piece in question, published at the end of October, warned that lesbians were being pressured into having sex with trans women. It's an incredibly incendiary piece to give you an idea of the article. I'm going to show you how it starts. So this is the start of this 4,000-word article.  They said they would strangle me with a belt if they were in a room with me and Hitler.  Jenny is a lesbian woman. She says she is only sexually attracted to women who are biologically female and have vaginas.  Jenny doesn't think this should be controversial, but not everyone agrees. She has been described as transphobic, a genital fetishist, a pervert, and a turf, a trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Now, of course, those tweets are completely vile. Not nice to say the least to receive.  I'm not sure. As I say, whilst this piece is bound to provoke a lot of fear surrounding trans women, its evidence base is really, really weak. To ground its argument, the article cited seven tweets from mostly anonymized accounts. It included a number of anonymized interviews, like the one I've just shown you, and it spoke to a number of anti-trans activists. It also included the following bit of quantitative data. The author Caroline Lowbridge writes, Hearing about experiences of lesbians being pressured into having sex with trans women led one lesbian activist to begin researching the topic. Angela C. Wilde is co-founder of Get The L Out, whose members believe the rights of lesbians are being ignored by much of the current LGBT movement. She and her fellow activists have demonstrated at Pride marches in the UK where they have faced opposition. Pride in London accused the group of bigotry, ignorance and hate. Lesbians are still extremely scared to speak because they think they won't be believed because the trans ideology is so silencing everywhere, she said, goes on. Angela created a questionnaire for lesbians and distributed it via social media, then published the results. She said that of the 80 women who did respond, 56% reported being pressured or coerced to accept a trans woman as a sexual partner. While acknowledging the sample may not be representative of the wider lesbian community, she believes it was important to capture their points of view and stories. Yes, the national broadcaster is now basing stories which portray minorities in an extremely negative light based on self-selecting Twitter surveys from people who we can assume are probably already hostile to that minority because they're following someone who's part of an anti-trans organization. Of course, the BBC would say this is acceptable because the piece also used qualitative evidence, namely interviews. Yet here they had another problem because, ironically, given the theme of the article, one of their interviewees had herself been accused of sexual misconduct. The original article featured quotes from Lily Cade, a porn star who stars in lesbian movies.  After the article was published, it was reported that Cade had in fact apologized in 2017 after receiving multiple allegations of sexual abuse. Cade then went on, so this was after the article was published, to make violently transphobic comments on her blog and on her Twitter. These included the following. I should warn you, this is really quite shocking and horrible.  Enough is enough. Lynch, Caitlyn, that's Caitlyn Jenner, Lynch, the sisters, Wachowski. So that's the trans women who directed the Matrix. Lynch, Laurel Hubbard, she's the trans weightlifter and Lynch Fallon Fox, who is a trans MMA fighter. Following these quotes coming to light and the abuse allegations, the BBC have edited out Lily Cade from the article, from their original article. So it's been edited. They posted this update under the articles. This is how the story now appears on the BBC website. Update 4th of November, we have updated this article published last week to remove a contribution from one individual in light of comments she has published on blog posts in recent days, which we have been able to verify. We acknowledge that an admission of inappropriate behavior by the same contributor should have been included in the original article. That edit, of course, is is welcome from the BBC. However, it doesn't answer the most important questions that the case of Lily Cade raises. Namely, why in a four thousand word article making very damaging claims about a minority group with the only sources of evidence, some tweets, a laughable survey and interviews with a small number of women, at least one of whom has admitted sexually inappropriate behavior and is an extreme and violent transphobe. Ash, this article received twenty thousand complaints. It's clear why it did. What did you make of it? So I spoke about this article at the time when it came out on the 26th of October, because just giving it a first read, it was abundantly clear to me that it fell short of every editorial standard in the book. The first is that it is predicated on this poll, which, as you point out, is a self-selecting poll. So it was circulated by somebody who is known to have very trans-hostile views amongst their social networks and only had a sample of 80 people. Now, a sample of 80 people, if you're doing very detailed and ethnographic and rigorous work, can be useful.  But if it's something like a Twitter poll, it is not only unreliable. It may actually be actively misleading because you're drawing from a pool of people who are participating precisely because they already share a particular point of view. Let's take, for example, if I was to put out a Twitter poll today and it said, who would you prefer to be? Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn or Boris Johnson. The likelihood is that because of the kind of following that I have on Twitter and the kind of networks it would be reaching, that Jeremy Corbyn would win by a milestone. That wouldn't be a reliable poll over and above, say, the 2019 general election result or the kind of polling which is put out by YouGov or anybody else. You'd see how dreadful it is if I gave to you the example. You know, the BBC has decided to do an article about Muslims. And in order to do so, they interviewed Tommy Robinson and all of Tommy Robinson's friends who say that Muslims do, indeed, present a unique threat to, I don't know, white British people. You would say that's not a reliable article. And not only that, it can be considered inflammatory or inciting, you know, hate crimes or violence against this minority group who has been so thoroughly demonised because people whose entire reason for being this hostility towards that group have been given given the platform and the legitimacy of an outlet like the BBC. So purely from a journalistic perspective, I thought that this article was very dangerous and it was shameful for the BBC to have to publish it. Let's then move on onto the content of the article, which is this matter of people saying that they have felt pressured into sex by transgender women. So this was something which I also spoke out about at the time. And because of what I said, I'm still receiving emails on like a daily basis from mostly men who present themselves as gender critical, calling me rapey, saying that, you know, I'm essentially a betting rape, because all I said was nobody should be pressured into sex for any reason.   And the parallel that I drew was to do with race.    They just don't look like they're humans to you. I would say maybe that's a bit racist. And I do think that that's a fair comparison to make, which is where whether or not you want to have sex, the particular minority group is deemed as evidence of whether or not they're fully human or indeed fully women.  But an awful lot of people, that is where their desire leads.  And that's completely fine as well. But the minute you put that argument, which is, look, people's desires are different. It's going to lead you in different directions.   It doesn't make them disgusting. It doesn't make them wrong. It doesn't make them less human. The fact that you get such a wave of abuse from people who describe themselves as gender critical, which really just means, you know, transphobic, I think it tells you about the actual purpose of this discussion, which isn't about is it or is it not OK to pressure someone in sex? Obviously, the answer is never OK to pressure anyone in sex. It is using this presentation of trans women as uniquely sexually predatory in order to roll back on the rights that they've secured and to curtail any rights that they might achieve in the future. They ultimately took out this one interview, as we've explained, but they defended the article. They kept it up and this is the BBC response. The article was carefully considered before publication, went through a rigorous editorial review process and fully complies with the BBC's editorial guidelines and standards. Some argue that the article is flawed because it is based on a survey of 80 people. The article itself states there is little research in this area that the survey featured was conducted on social media and is therefore self selecting. And even the author of the survey admits it may not be a representative sample, so we admitted the limitations of it. Furthermore, there is a link to the detail of the findings which enables the reader to make up their own minds about the replies the sample generated. But the article is more than just a survey. The journalist work involved months of speaking to many people about the topic and the article includes testimony from a range of different sources and provides appropriate context. You might wonder here why if she'd spent months researching the piece, she hadn't come across easily Googleable information which would reveal that one of her interviewees had been accused of sexual assault, which is probably relevant information when that is the theme of your article. A Guardian report on the row provides some more shocking details actually about this story.  A source at the BBC said the journalist behind the story had spoken to Poe, but an editorial judgment was made not to quote her because the general conversation was deemed not relevant to the piece. While this article really only quoted people who were quite hostile to trans people who were sort of buying into this narrative, they did interview a trans porn performer, but they didn't feature any of her answers.  And the BBC have now admitted that should have been mentioned. So the question to the BBC, if you admit that that should have been mentioned, that context should have been given, then what's your account of how the journalist didn't think to include that? Look, I don't want to play libel bingo, so I'm going to direct to my comments generally rather than at this particular journalist.  All right. That is a thing which is happening, not just at the BBC. It's also happening at The Guardian. It's happening in all of these discussions around self-identification and access to same sex spaces. And it is a way of using the language of liberation for intensely reactionary purposes. Take an outlet like Women's Hour, which recently featured interview with Kathleen Stark, who recently resigned her post at Sussex University. Now, I'm not going to get into the rightness or wrongness of Kathleen Stark or her resignation. What I will say is how many times have you seen a transgender woman on Women's Hour talking about the issues that she faces? Or how many times have you heard a story on Women's Hour about transgender women struggling to access health care or the increased rates of domestic violence or sexual violence that transgender women experience? You've never heard it. And I know for a fact that certain stories have been pitched to Women's Hour about experiences of transgender people, transgender people trying to access health care. And quite simply, they were rejected because the line was, I just don't think our audience will be particularly interested in this. So you have deliberate media gatekeeping to exclude trans sympathetic stories from their platforms, while I think offering proportionate and sympathetic coverage towards people who articulate transgender points of view. This is an editorial perspective, which runs writ through British media. And I think it is shameful. I think it is dangerous. I think it is insightful towards a minority who already face heightened rates of violence and abuse and harassment, but it is also atrocious, journalistic practice. And it is robbing the audience of the ability to make an informed decision about what they think about this issue.


What is a DUNS number? A DUNS number is a unique number that's assigned to your business that identifies you in the federal arena. I would compare it to what the IRS uses the EIN format for small businesses. A DUNS number is used in the federal arena much like the EIN. So why do we need a DUNS number? Well, that's just the only way that people recognize you when you're doing business with federal agencies. Does it cost you anything? No. A DUNS number is completely free. What things do you need to do before you can actually apply for a DUNS number? Well, before you apply for a DUNS number, you need to make sure that your business is registered in a Division of Corporations for your state and that you've already applied for your EIN number via the IRS. I hope you learned a lot. It was short, quick, and concise to the point. It's one of those first steps that you need to take before you can actually start embarking on your journey to the federal arena. Again, as always, if you have any questions, please send me an email. And if you want to reach out to me, make any comments. I'm on most social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. We're signing out. Thanks for watching.

I'm going to present a project. I will put my 15 minutes here. OK. I am going to introduce you to this multicultural schools and local heritage project. If we said that archaeology was a tool for well-being, for operating in northern, it's also a tool for social cohesion. And I'm going to focus on multicultural communities. And well, I am an archaeologist. My background is in as an archaeologist. But I'm also, I have a PhD in education. And then I tried to work with the two fields, with archaeology and education. And this project, it was made with different schools in Barcelona, what we call ancient schools that were built in the 19th, 20th century. And well, we have titled this slide, The School of the Media Place, because as everybody knows, schools are the first context for learning social competences outside the house for children three or five or six years old, depending on the country. Go to school is the first place where they learn social competences, apart from the public space or the public park where they go. The thesis of this presentation lies in the hypothesis that an increased interest in local or micro-local history also enhances place attachment or sense of place, even more if that population, most newcomers, comes from different cultural and geographical backgrounds, since the schools are often the only space accepting home, which they can feel as theirs, where they experience engaging daily personal and social relations, and it's familiar to them. Just for a short introduction to the historical context of the presentations, let me tell you that the project is about historical school buildings in Barcelona that were created from 1920 to 1939. Maybe some of you already know about the history of this period, but maybe some of you not during this specific period before the Franco dictatorship that lasted from 1929 to 1970. Barcelona increased significantly its population to today industrialization, and most of this growing working class was illiterate and never had one to school. In the same period, prior to Franco, public policies and social activities advocated for investment in education as a crucial main pillar to guarantee a cohesive and more equal society. Just as an example, some groups of teachers in Catalonia of that time were sent to Italy to receive lectures from Maria Montessori, an important Italian pedagogist, and other relevant figures such as the Groly, Trinette in France, with the aim to import ideas about how to teach children to discovering hands-on activities, playing PPC. This idea was also expressed in architecture. Through the concept that schools, it's a very nice concept, had to be palaces for students, for pupils. Architects captured this concept, designing very elegant, like this one, buildings with a white spaces and prosoose decorations following the art style called nocentisma, recovering Roman and Greek architecture ideas and opposite to modernist and rationalist. The question is now, how this past is lived, how this architectural past is lived in the multicultural 2018 Barcelona daily life. Barcelona, at the beginning of the 20th century, was a prominent capital with an industrialization growing process, as we said, accommodating half million of inhabitants, half million. Today, Barcelona is a crowded city that has allocated one million and a half citizens, increased partly by people coming mostly from South America, Central Asia, North Africa, and Maghreb during the last 20 years. Which thing, for a moment, which heritage can be shared by students from Pakistan, Morocco, Bolivia, or China, living in Barcelona, in Catalonia? Which kind of attachment do they have with Barcelona heritage? The identity is not belonging here, but it's their place of living. The answer developed in this project is the fashion that they develop with a specific scale, place they are living in. You can see here the same school, it's Angel Vacheras, it's at the end of Via La Iatano on the right-hand side.  This is a picture of the girls' classroom at the beginning of the 20th century, and this is an actual picture where you can see in the Gothic area in Barcelona there's a multicultural family is living in it, and these students are from different countries, from more social food countries, but also from Finland, from England, from France, from inside a very mixed school class. It's a very rich, culturally speaking. Well, migration in Barcelona is mostly coming from these Spanish speaking countries, from America, then from Europe itself and from Asia, and although we have a lot of images, people crossing from Morocco, crossing the border with Spain, the Africa migration is just seven percent. We have a lot of misconceptions with migrations. Okay, then go to the practical part of the speech. Many of those historical schools of Barcelona, built in pre-Planco's time, are still functioning as a state school in Barcelona and are located in neighborhoods with the highest immigrant population of Pacific, especially the portals around Las Ramblas. Families living in that area have low incomes, and they choose the school for their children due to their proximity to their homes, not because they have educational projects or first-ish. There are some statistics and essays and set up. Families with high studies choose school for their children because of the project, and people with primary school studies choose schools for their children because of the proximity. So schools become part of the familiar, small landscape of these children going way to school, school, and back home again. The school heritage project, they use this quotidian daily experience of children from very different backgrounds, cultural backgrounds to create a sense of common heritage related to these buildings and their exceptional history. Therefore, teachers create heritage experiences for most cultural students accommodated in historical schools linking an unfamiliar past with a shared past. And how do teachers do that? People's redefine and reappropriate the values of this heritage by playing and living in it. As a second experience, people's get immersed in the discovering process of a shared experience because it's not about cultural rules, it's about cultural experiences in their daily material and material context, and the value of the discovered past gives value to that place that children consider as their homes. One of the best activities is children of the past and of the present. These activities are learning by doing and following by experiences. Children of the past and the present are projects that intend to place a link between the past and the present where the actual school children have the opportunity to discover the past of its school using ancient school materials to build knowledge and identification with children that attend the same school and even school group in the past. These material culture can be diaries, drawings of the pupils of the 30s, call maps and pictures, scientific instruments to study and to observe animals in the past. The second group of activities are the ones called discovering the school secret past is a strategy of the discovering process. Just the starting point, continue doing research about the past of the school, playing on the playground and discovering the first stone of the school with writing capital letters, for example, here. And trying to invoke what is written on it or discovering an old printer and using it to bring the school, I would say. This, as many of the educational systems when you are on the first, second primary level, you start to learn how to write and how to read. And in one of these schools, teachers found this first stone in Latin and then the six, seven years old children started to know letters, just drawing these letters in notebook. And then there is a third group of activities. It's called the school as a living museum. And this strategy aims to make visible and to share with a wider community the school material culture and the uniqueness of the school's history. One example is the recreation of an old classroom to organize open days for families and neighbors where the children are the ones who read the guided tours or to restore and use the old educational material like the collection of butterflies for the natural sciences letters. It's not just important for the student, it's also important to empower the families of this student. Some conclusions. From the social inclusion point of view, there is still a deep evaluation study to do about the impact of these projects on the multicultural students. But from non-formal interviews with teachers and students, we can conclude that all these experiences and hands with cultural kids plays a part. The school is a common symbol and place where they feel different and important. Putting in value this heritage and the whole process does not only affect the students, even more families, as I said, and the whole school community. And this makes the school more prestigious and attract more high and middle class students benefiting in a more equal and not ghetto schools. From the pedagogy point of view, the use of a very close and neat heritage reference motivates students to study the past and to learn critical thinking in analyzing history and daily life. As all the scholars have mentioned, the increasing interest in local history as a tool to enhance place attachment reverse on the emotional ones that people force to places that are meaningful to them. Thank you.


We're paying the cost of having had public policy and not really having realized that public policy should achieve social inclusion because poverty does not create violence but social exclusion does.


Today we're gathered in formal convocation to celebrate the 241st Commencement Exercises of Purdue University. Please join in singing our national anthem, followed by the invocation offered today by Father Patrick McCoskis, pastor and director of Campus Ministry, St. Thomas Aquinas. There was a woman who died not so very long ago who has inspired millions of people by her life's example and her encouragement for all of us to be attentive to a higher, more purposeful calling. In the places where Mother Teresa of Calcutta lived and worked, she would have these words placed on the walls. And as you go forth today from Purdue, may this reflection she had in front of her every day inspire you as well. People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God. It was never between you and them anyway. This is the talk, some sense at last. It's my pleasure to introduce today's guest speaker, Marge Magner. Marge is one of our nation's most successful business people, and among the Cranart School of Management's most celebrated graduates. Although we're 30 years of experience in business, Marge is a founding partner of private equity firm Bryson Global Partners. Forbes listed Marge among the world's most powerful women, and she's been similarly recognized by Fortune Magazine and the New York Stock Exchange. Marge earned a Purdue Master of Science in Information Assurance, is a member of Cranart's Dean's Advisory Council, and received the President's Council Distinguished Pinnacle Award in 2015. Our grateful Marge agreed to address our graduates who all will find plenty to emulate in Marge's example of excellence. Please join me in welcoming our distinguished alumna, Marge Magner. Thank you, President Daniels, for inviting me to speak to the summer graduation of 2020. I am truly honored. I also want to thank you, the faculty and administrative staff, for everything you do for the students, which in ordinary times is extraordinary amount of work, of course, but in recent times, absolutely herculean. And we know the next several months will be very challenging, too. Thank you, thank you for everything you do. We truly appreciate it. Let me begin my remarks with my heartiest congratulations to our graduates, your parents, your friends, and family who are joining you today. While I know this isn't exactly the graduation you anticipated, the accommodation to the pandemic we're living through must not in any way diminish the significance of your achievements. Perhaps the only ones who wanted to see you walk across the stage more than yourself are your parents, who've been looking forward to this moment for a very long time. Their pride in you is absolute, with or without all of the ritual and fanfare commonly thought of as a graduation ceremony. But it's okay if you feel a little disappointed about missing the last few months of excitement leading up to graduation, the time with your friends and your schoolmates and your faculty and teachers, and all of that time that everyone looks forward to. And of course, the ceremony itself. But in truth, it is how you deal with the events in your life that ultimately will determine how successful and satisfied you are with your life. The Class of 2020 will always be special and recognized for your ability to deal with very difficult times. But for this moment, remember that you are loved, respected, honored, and valued by all of us here with you today. I'd like to take a few moments to talk with you about some things that I believe are important and that you might keep in mind. Perhaps someday they will be helpful to you. They are fundamentals, values, and leadership. I have often said to young people who ask me for my thoughts about life and career and everything in between that life is not a run on sentence. It is in fact a series of chapters, paragraphs, sentences, and thoughts, each with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Recognizing that allows you to have focus and perspective. Stay on target. Stay focused. Don't jump so far ahead that you forget to do what is important now. Remember to deal with each aspect of life. Live it. Enjoy it. And get the most out of it that you can. Knowing there is more to come and it all fills up a large volume of work. So how do you deal with the situation you have to face now or at any point in time in the future? Sometimes there's a lot going on and the uncertainty of it makes it particularly difficult when you don't know for sure what's going to happen next. For me it always starts with the fundamentals. I had a colleague, a very proud Hoosier from Evansville. Every year he held a special meeting to share the goals and expectations for the new year with his team. The meeting was as much pep rally as business meeting because he wanted the team to be prepared and motivated for a successful year. He started every meeting the same way with the words of a famous football coach. The coach began each one of his seasons by holding the object in his hand and saying, gentlemen, this is a football. Now that's pretty fundamental, but very grounding. The imagery has always stayed with me. So what are fundamentals? They are the absolute truths or basics about every situation or problem. The questions you might ask yourself in a new situation are, why am I here? What is important? What are the facts? Who are the people involved? What is my role and my opportunity? In a business environment, of course, you might start with the customer, the product. Think about the employees and what makes business successful or not. Get the data. Fundamentals are a good place to start. Something else that's at the heart of who we are and how we approach challenges and opportunities in good times and bad are our values. Our core values reside within us.  They will, if you allow it, light the way for you to navigate your life and your path. In a moment of quiet reflection, which I highly encourage, think about your values. You can always do this when push comes to shove and you are in a crisis, but it saves you a lot of angst if you are prepared and understand your values and how to apply them before you are in a difficult situation. For me, my core values have always been a framework for making decisions, big decisions, daily decisions, business decisions, life decisions. One thing I do know for sure, if I'm having trouble seeing the right path to take, you know, the kind of decision that makes your head and your heart hurt, it's because I'm wrestling with compromising my values and what I know to be right. The thing about right and wrong is it doesn't really change from day to day. What's right today is right tomorrow. What is right today is right every day. I always describe this as do the right thing every time, all the time. You will apply this differently in different situations, but what is right, what is consistent with your values shouldn't really change. Your values need to be respected, considered and incorporated into your daily life. I will definitely not bore you with my values, but there is one I would like to share and that is gratitude. Being here with you is a good example. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. How did I come to be an MSIA from the Cranard School of Management at Purdue? Well, that's a whole story by itself from another time. What is important is that it changed the trajectory of my life. It allowed me to do and achieve things I never could have dreamed. My gratitude to Purdue for accepting me at a time when there were few women in any business school, let alone a young woman from Brooklyn, New York and West Lafayette, Indiana is absolute. It's why I am so pleased and proud to be a speaker today. You have received an outstanding education and preparation for life. You will be leaders in your profession, your communities, your religious organizations and in so many other areas of your life. I have found that the best leaders are those who have strong core values that are reflected in respect for others, a willingness to listen, the ability and desire to articulate and share their thought process and their views, and the confidence to know it's not all about them and how great they are, but how great they help to make others be. And become great leaders provide other people with the opportunity, the tools, the encouragement and support to achieve the levels beyond their own expectations. When you hear someone say, thank you, I didn't know I could do that. There is likely a great leader on the other side of that conversation. Leaders don't tell you how great they are. They don't have to raise their voice to be heard because we want to hear what they have to say. Leaders listen and leaders learn. Even when they are the smartest, they don't try to be seen as the smartest person in the room. They are often the most humble, but the most extraordinary people. It's very clear that we desperately need leaders in our communities, our country and our world.  You have lived it here at Purdue, where diversity is a strength of the institution. We need you. I come from a generation that believed we could accomplish way more than we did. We marched, we protested, but it wasn't enough. We didn't get change and equality embedded in the culture, institutions or the systems as it should be. I'd give us a D plus if I were grading our work based on results. But you can do so much better. You already have. I am heartened by the voices of young people demanding change. Be leaders. Go into your future with confidence. I know you are prepared. You have an outstanding education. You have the talent and the capacity. And I believe you have the heart. And don't forget, you have an army of Purdue alumni ready to help you.  Here's how I think about it. Until every person in our great country has the full opportunity to achieve at the highest level of their capability and aspiration, we all have a lot of work to do. Congratulations again to each and every one of you in the amazing class of 2020. Thank you. Hail Purdue.

Okay, it's official. You are now graduates of Purdue University. It's time for you to observe tradition by moving your tassel from the right side of the mortarboard to the left, signifying your new status. Congratulations to all our new alums. We're gathered to honor these graduates for their hard work and accomplishments, but they'd be the first to tell us they did not make the journey alone. So will the graduates please take this moment to offer thanks and appreciation to your parents, grandparents, spouses, brothers, sisters, other family members and friends for their long and loving support that brought you to this moment. The audience is invited to sing the Purdue hymn. The words are located inside the front cover of the program. I'm pleased to introduce today's student responder, Aaron Benjamin. Aaron is receiving a doctor of philosophy in biochemistry, and while at Purdue, he served as a graduate research assistant, as a teaching assistant, and as treasurer of Purdue graduate student government. Please welcome Aaron Benjamin. Thank you, President Daniels, for your kind introduction, and thank you to family, friends, and guests joining in this memorable event online. When I learned that my nomination for the August student responder from the graduate school was successful, the reality of having to address my fellow summer graduates hit home, and I must admit, the moments of hesitation and questions arose to the surface. I wondered, what do I have that others do not? What makes me someone worthy of this honor? But after careful consideration, and despite my fear of speaking in front of pre-COVID-19 large crowds, I realized that I had an opportunity to share with all of you the most valuable life lessons learned during my time as a student at Purdue and as a citizen in the West Lafayette community. To combat the undergraduate burnout and to support my well-being, I elected to take a year off between my undergraduate and graduate career. Once I applied and was admitted to the College of Agriculture as a graduate student, I was welcomed into my department and was met with smiles by the community as a whole. As a first-year student, I am sure like most of you, I was very unsure about my skills and knowledge within my field of study. At the beginning of my graduate tenure, I sharpened my skills in classes through problem-solving, and honed my abilities in the laboratory. In addition, I made valuable friendships which gave me confidence in both the academic and social arena. Networking allowed me to form friendships with my classmates and peers, and I received valuable mentoring from a variety of different staff, faculty, and deans. As I continued in my graduate school journey, I learned that having the drive to do something is one of the most valuable skills one can have to achieve short and long-term goals while having a positive impact. In addition, I have challenged my ideas through rigorous discussions with many of my peers and mentors, allowing me to think about all of the possibilities when approaching a problem. As such, I have reinforced my ability to question things productively, helping to reach solutions to many of the problems which I have sought to understand. All of this learning has helped me to gain the abilities to work independently and not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help when needed, because at some point in life, we all need a helping hand. One of the most important lessons that I have learned is to simply admit when you do not know the answer to something, and be comfortable in knowing that this is indeed okay, and a big part of the educational and life experience. But it does not stop there. If you do not know the answer, keep looking until you can find the answer, even if the answer does not align with your original hypothesis, that's behind research. If you do not find the answer, let the search begin. The skills we have all learned at Purdue University will allow us to do this. As we prepare to go in so many different directions, I would like to leave you with several pieces of my learned knowledge. One, keep challenging yourself to be better every day. Two, never give up. And three, do not be afraid to ask questions. Congratulations to my fellow graduates and all the best in our future endeavors. And I leave with my final greeting as a student, now that we are all alumni. Let us all hammer down and hail Purdue. Today you are standing on the edge of possibility. We pause to give thanks for the deep sense of accomplishment, pride, and hope of this very moment. We pause today to reflect on your time here and the hope for your future. We gather with abundant joy and overwhelming gratitude. We pray the experience here embodies our vision of education as an engaged and dynamic partnership between the university and the wider world. The work here has never been merely for personal use, but always for public good. And so today we celebrate the collective commitment to creating a better and more just world. May we appreciate the joy of this day and may the dedication and patient perseverance that has brought us to this moment carry us forth to create a world marked by peace, justice, and compassion beyond measure. Go forth to do the good work set before you. Be tireless. Seek the common good. Love and nurture the people and things you value. Attend to your work with integrity so that what you believe may be what you do. And when you feel as if you might become defeated think back on this day and know that you already have accomplished much. May you be blessed and may your lives be a blessing to all of us. Amen. And so we conclude our commencement convocation. Thank you for joining us during these most unusual circumstances and sharing your celebration with us acknowledging your achievement as Boilermakers. As we said we would we're making it through together. On behalf of the trustees the faculty and all the Purdue family I bid you farewell and Godspeed Hail Purdue.
