Hello, good morning, everybody. My name's Adam Gammelman. I work on the Ubuntu server team at Canonical. And I'm here to talk about some of the work we've done over the last couple of cycles around automating and making the deployment of VMware and OpenStack easy on Ubuntu. I'm a developer on the Ubuntu server team. I joined the team during the OpenStack Diablo cycle, which kind of was the Ubuntu oneric Ocelot release for us. And at the time, we were transferring our entire preferred cloud infrastructure from Eucalyptus to OpenStack. So we've kind of been around since the beginning of OpenStack and Ubuntu. And on the team, I help ensure OpenStack remains a first class citizen in Ubuntu. That means working on the packages that we ship every cycle, making sure the latest and greatest OpenStack gets shipped with the latest and greatest Ubuntu, and also making sure that stuff gets backported to the Ubuntu cloud archive for our LTS users. I also work upstream on the OpenStack stable maintenance team, keeping an eye on the stable branches for the stable releases of OpenStack and helping those point releases come out. And most recently, I've been working at Canonical on the OpenStack Interop Lab, aka Oil. And that's kind of where we've been doing a lot of the work around VMware integration with OpenStack and Ubuntu. Additionally, I just kind of help the teams at Canonical make sure that OpenStack and Ubuntu deploy easily for customers. So we have many engineers who go out to customer sites who need OpenStack and they want Ubuntu as the host operating system in a way to deploy that easily. Fortunately, we have tools to do that, and I'll talk about those in a minute. So I think at this point in the week, we kind of all agree on OpenStack, I think. We like what the value it proposes. If we haven't deployed it already, I'm sure most of us are probably considering how do we deploy it in the future. Unfortunately, not everyone is starting fresh. I've talked to lots of people who are in the process of ordering lots of new hardware to roll out brand new clouds and brand new data centers. But for many people, we have existing infrastructure. We need to incorporate into our new clouds. And this presents a challenge for people, especially people who use the OpenStack and coming from other places, places more vCenter, VMware centric. It's kind of difficult to understand how vCenter and vSphere integrate with OpenStack and how it fits into your architecture. But fortunately, there's been quite a bit of work done in OpenStack over the last two cycles to make it easy for OpenStack to integrate with existing ESX and vSphere properties. Most notably around NOVA, during the Grizzly time frame, there was the addition of the VCD and ESX drivers. And more recently in Havana, there's been quite a bit of work around network and storage to make sure that those resources are compatible with existing vCenter appliances. But for people coming from that world of virtual appliance installation and CD-ROM-based installation and the more prepackaged cloud world, this kind of infrastructure looks very intimidating. And it's hard to figure out where your existing infrastructure fits into a graph like this. But luckily, at Canonical, within Ubuntu, we've been developing tools to turn this whiteboard architecture into a reality for users using a tool called JuJu and another tool called Mas, which I'll tell you about. But if anyone's been to the Ubuntu booth or saw a Mark Shadow Wars keynote on Tuesday, you might have seen something like this. This is what we call the JuJu GUI. And it's a tool we use to kind of take this and make it a reality. So for developers and operations and DevOps who usually sit at a whiteboard and spec out what their infrastructure looks like, we're kind of making it easy to do the same within a GUI, but also translate that to physical hardware or virtual hardware and deploy services as you would mock them out on a whiteboard. So what is JuJu? JuJu is an orchestration framework that lets you deploy and integrate and scale services instantly and easily. It's kind of machine agnostic. JuJu has a concept of machine providers, and it kind of abstracts away all of the details about where you're getting hardware for your workloads or where you're getting machines for those workloads, whether they be virtual or otherwise. Like I said, it's pluggable. And so far, we have support for a number of public clouds, rack space, HP public cloud, Amazon, Azure. We also support deploying workloads using JuJu to internal on-premise private clouds via the OpenStack API, as well as the actual bare metal servers and local LXC containers and virtual machines. That's kind of sit, JuJu kind of sits in the middle of the stack of tools that let us deploy OpenStack. At the bottom, we have what's called MAS, Metal as a Service. And this is a machine provisioning system similar to tools like Cobbler for anyone who's interested, who has experience with that. It allows us to kind of take racks of unprovisioned servers, dedicate one server to provisioning by installing a MAS server, kind of just boot up the rest of the servers in the racks, set them to net boot. It automatically enlists into MAS. Commissions gets put into the MAS inventory. And once it's there, these servers are at the disposal of anyone who wants to use them via an API. So it kind of just abstracts away. Hardware provisioning puts an API in front of it and makes it look kind of like a cloud endpoint. From there, we can use JuJu and its pluggable machine provider framework to pull machines from and deploy workloads to. And workloads get deployed in JuJu using what we call charms. An analogy of JuJu charms is kind of similar to puppet modules or chef cookbooks to the pieces that describe that plug into JuJu and tell you how to deploy a specific workload. And those aren't necessarily open stack specific. We have charms to deploy all kinds of workloads, everything from MongoDB to Minecraft. But in terms of open stack, we have charms for deploying open stack itself, the core services of open stack, as well as charms to deploy specific things that plug into the back ends of those open stack pieces. So for instance, we have charms to deploy specific network plug-ins to Neutron. We also have charms for extending open stack to interface with more external resources, things that aren't part of core open stack. Things like Chef storage clusters, or in this case, VMware clusters. We have charms that support all of the core open stack components, so we make it very easy to deploy all of these. But we also support deploying each one of those in different configurations to kind of turn every cloud you deploy into its own little snowflake if you want it to be. We, of course, support all of the more standard drivers in all of them, the defaults. But over the last six months, eight months, we've been expanding those supported options to cover other things. So for instance, if you're not really interested in full loan KVM virtualization, we make it very easy to deploy Nova in a configuration that uses LXC in the back end for lightweight containerization. Same is true of storage and networking. And with the work we're doing in the Interop Lab at Canonical, we're constantly extending this to support more options. So what does a charm do? What's the point of a charm? I mean, how does it differ from configuration management and more traditional service orchestration? One of the points of the charm is just to condense everything you would get out of a document or a how to into something that's easily reusable and easily to distribute. So here's a snippet of the official OpenStack Havana documentation for configuring and deploying keystone identity service. I think it's about five or six pages or so. If anyone's configured keystone on their own manually, you probably know that it's an awkward procedure. There's lots of URLs to manage, UUIDs, credential sets, and there's lots of docs to read. We try with Juju to take these long deployment manuals and condense them into simple commands. So everything you would read in the first five or six pages of the Havana keystone documentation can be summed up in this. Juju deploy keystone. One analogy people like to make is apt-get. You no longer go to a website, download source, run configure and make, and build binaries from source to get a web browser or a word processor. You do apt-get install Chromium browser or apt-get install LibreOffice. The same is true of Juju. We're trying to take that analogy and apply it to services running outside of your system. But installing and configuring the initial system is only part of the process. We also need to make sure that the services we deploy integrate well with the other services in our environment. And Juju has a really powerful concept known as relations. Each charm is responsible for configuring and managing the service it's responsible for. But the charms can also define and export interfaces that define how it interacts with other services within the environment. And you can create relations between these services and kick off a process where one service has knowledge about how to initiate a relationship with the other service and a back and forth, kind of like a ping pong authentication conversation. So in the case of Keystone and Cinder, to properly configure Cinder in your cloud and your Keystone identity service, you need an API endpoint configured in the Keystone catalog. And you also need Keystone to generate service credentials for Cinder. If you're doing this manually or scripted, it's clunky and it takes its aeropron. With Juju, we open an interface between the two services where these requests can flow back and forth. And the code to do that and the logic to do that is encapsulated within the charms. So in the case of Keystone and Cinder, Cinder might tell Keystone about its address and its endpoint for the Cinder volume service. And Cinder, on the other end, would go and stuff that in its database, generate service credentials, and pass that back over through the pipe to Cinder, who then plugs that into its configuration files and restart services accordingly. And in the end, when the relations settle, you have a Keystone catalog that has an updated Cinder API endpoint and you have a Cinder service that's authenticated to use that service. Once we've defined that interface and it's working well, we can then apply the same interface to other services in the cloud. So Keystone's a good example because it takes many relations to other services in the cloud. Glance, once we have the identity service interface defined for Cinder, we can easily add a relation to Glance and the back and forth is almost identical. And then we can do it for Nova as well. And at that point, we have a cloud deployed with Keystone Cinder and Glance in a Keystone catalog that's completely populated with all of the endpoints and credentials. Reading the docs to get that done is, I don't know how many pages, there's scripts like DevStack that can do that, and I don't know how many lines of code, but with just a simple collection of commands that you run on the command line, you have this happening in real time. So that's a high-level overview of Juju. I don't know who's used Juju in the past or who might have visited the booth and got the rundown on how it works, but if there's any questions about how it works and how it differs from things that you might have used, that would be a good time, no? So we try to automate that component, like we've designed the interface between Keystone and other services to kind of make that automated so that every service in the cloud gets every machine running a service that needs to authenticate with Keystone in some way, gets a unique password, and gets added to a project and a tenant on the Keystone side. The project and the tenant is configurable, so if you wanted to change where those services are being created in the Keystone authentication database, you would configure that on the Keystone side, and then it would regenerate the credentials, send it out through the interfaces that are associated with the service, and whatever's on the other end of those knows how to handle that. Does that answer your question? Anything else? OK, so that's kind of the high level overview of how charms work, the basics. Everything I've described about Keystone and Glantz and Cinder, these are what we call principal services, and these are kind of the first class services in Juju. And when you deploy these, typically, if you deploy JujuDeployCinder or JujuDeploy MySQL, Juju's going to go out and fetch a machine of some kind, whether it be an LXC container or a virtual machine or a bare metal server, and place that service on there. The charm in Juju itself assumed that it's the only thing living on that system. So you shouldn't ever run into a case where you have two services running within the same system namespace, because there's potential for collisions on ports and packages and config files and things like that. To make it possible to kind of co-locate things in rich principal services, we have a concept known as subordinate charms. And subordinate charms get deployed alongside principal charms and operate within the same system namespace, and the point of them is to enrich and kind of supplement the principal charm in some way. And this is how we're kind of tackling the Nova problem, the deployment process in our OpenStack deployments. We don't want to pollute the wrong word. We don't want to bloat the main principal Nova charms with information that not everyone needs. We don't want to explode its configuration files with all VMware specific bits. So we can encapsulate all of the VMware logic in a subordinate charm that gets attached to the principal. And if you're not interested in using VMware, you just don't need to deploy that. It operates in the same namespace as the principal service, and it's operating on the same service in the same configuration files. But it's more specific in its use case. Subordinate charms, they encourage the same principles as the primary services, encapsulation, reuse of interfaces. But the difference here is that they deploy to the same machine unit as the principal. We use this also in the OpenStack case for networking bits. So basically anything that requires some external appliance running, whether it's a vCenter cluster or, in this case, a neutron service related that needs information about external MVP or NSX appliances, we just encapsulate all of that into a subordinate charm that we attach to the principal. There's other use cases for subordinates outside of OpenStack or within OpenStack. A good one is monitoring and logging. It's easy to develop generic subordinate charms that can take interfaces to any number of principal services that do common things like set up remote logging access or monitoring, configure any number of principal services whether it's my SQL, RabbitMQ, Nova to be monitored by some external Nagios process. So all that said, here's a diagram of what OpenStack looks like deployed by Juju. And I'll switch over to a live environment running this. So apologies for not having any pretty icons. What I'm pointing at right now is layered behind a few VPNs. And it seems to have some problems fetching all the icons. But here we have an entire OpenStack cloud running. If you look, you'll see the various services you'd expect. We have a Glant service, a RabbitMQ service, a MySQL service, volume, et cetera. And the lines between them are all of those relations I was talking about. So if I focus in on Keystone, you'll see it's got a bunch of edges to the other various OpenStack services that require endpoints in Keystone. And the MySQL side, it's tied to many services that require some kind of persistent database connection. Over on the Nova side, here's that subordinate I was talking about, right? Each charm has a number of configuration options exposed to users. We try not to make those options a gigantic list, but only expose the collections of config options that are really necessary to get big bucket functionality configured in an opinionated way, I guess. So for instance, Nova has just some generic Nova configuration options that you would set. The database name it would use, the database user it would request, various networking configuration. And this is all kind of generic for any OpenStack Nova service you would deploy. But on the VMware side, we have the various configuration options that just describe how we connect an existing Nova service to an external VMware service. And separating them like this makes it easy to keep the principal service clean, less bloated, less things to test, and segment it out and separate them out a little bit. So any questions so far? So now we've got an OpenStack cloud deployed using Juju and Maz. And now what can we do with it that we weren't able to do before if we were just running a vCenter cloud on its own? Fortunately with Juju, as I said, it's back end. Where it goes to get hardware to put services is kind of abstracted away, so it's very easy to take the Juju tools you've used to deploy your OpenStack cloud and point them at the cloud itself, or perhaps give users of the cloud access to use Juju against your cloud and start deploying workloads on top of that cloud. All of the charms and all of the services we were able to deploy exist in what's called the Juju charm store. And you could think of this kind of as the Ubuntu software center of services or the app store for services. Users can browse and look at all of the charms that have been developed. Some of them are rated based on quality and number of downloads and how well they're maintained. And pick and choose what they want and browse how different services interact with one another. So if you're deploying WordPress, you can go find your WordPress charm, deploy that, find out it needs a database, deploy that, and add them together. And I'll show you how this works in the context of the cloud we've deployed. So here's the Juju environment that's running all of our infrastructure, right? This is the OpenStack cloud we've deployed. And now if I take a step back or act as a user of this cloud, I can switch to another environment, which is a blank Juju environment, only running one service, which is the GUI that I'm looking at. And I can go in here to look at the charm store and find different services I'd like to deploy. So let's say I need a MongoDB database for my application, it's as easy as dragging it, setting various config, anything that I would need to specialize here, hitting deploy. And what's going on now in Juju in the back end is going to the OpenStack cloud that's running underneath and requesting that the service be spun up. In the case of OpenStack, in the case of the OpenStack cloud we're running, we should see two instances running, one of them spawning. That's the MongoDB service we've just spun up. And if we look a little bit into the cloud that we have deployed, we'll see a couple of compute nodes, one of them the VMware vCenter, the other one a KVM, just a generic LibVirk, KVM, Nova Compute service running. In this case, the MongoDB service we've deployed is spinning up on the VMware cluster. And that one's running now. So with time, if we had a couple more minutes, this would be spinning up, turning green, and we have a live MongoDB service running. We can then go through the charm store interface here and pick other things that might interface with the MongoDB charm in some way. And those interfaces are described within the charm store right here. So it tells you all of the different services that would be able to consume that service in some way. And browsing for the OpenStack charms, that's very much similar. And we could see that the Keystone Identity Service can take relations to various other OpenStack services, and that's how we kind of piece together huge charms and services. So we're able to deploy relatively easy OpenStack, and we're able to connect that to existing vCenter property relatively easy. We still have some work ahead of us in terms of the deployment story. There's quite a bit of work going on upstream in OpenStack itself about improving support of VMware in OpenStack. But a little bit downstream in Ubuntu, we have some things to work on ourselves. We'd like to be able to deploy the OpenStack Cloud I showed you, but also divvy up what hypervisors are able to support what kinds of workloads based on host aggregates and cells and that kind of stuff. So we're in the next six months going to be adding support to that, to the juju charms and to the provisioning stories so that when you deploy KVM alongside VMware everything is properly tagged where it needs to be within Nova and instance types are set up accordingly so that those can be addressed by juju. So when you say deploy MongoDB or deploy MySQL, specify that you want that workload to live on a VMware cluster. And when you deploy WordPress or something in your app tier, you're OK with putting that on a cheaper virtualization layer that you have more room to scale out. We're going to be working on better volume support. Yeah, so I said that's a good question. Juju has the concept of constraints. So when you deploy a workload, a service of something you could say constraints, in some case you may say I'm deploying a database that I need 64 gigabytes of memory. Juju will go to whatever machine provider and kind of figure out based on what that provider exposes. And it might be instance types, that kind of thing, what type of machine best suits those needs. In the case of my juju environment, when I boot and strapped it, I've set a environment-wide constraint pointing it at an instance type configured in the cloud that has aggregates that tell it the scheduler to put it on a v center. One of the points on the roadmap is to make that a little better so that that's configurable ahead of time, how things get divided up, where services go, how aggregates get exposed to the users, and make it a little bit more richer for the users of juju, and make it easier for juju to target workloads to specific hypervisors. Question? Sorry? I'm sorry? So it's all of unto. The question was, what's the operating system used when I went and deployed MongoDB into the cloud? We saw MongoDB got deployed, but where does it actually go? If I flip over here, I'll show you it. Juju will go to its machine provider again and find out how do I get a machine to deploy MongoDB. In the case of OpenStack, it will go to Glance and find out and query there, and find out what images are available, and find me an image to deploy MongoDB. In this case, it went to a precise VM. Where is it? Right here. Precise VMDK. So it's all Ubuntu. Juju is integrated. It relies on features within Ubuntu, things like Cloud in it, and some other things we've developed to make sure that when the image comes up, the cloud image, Juju is able to reliably bootstrap it into the Juju environment and get it set up so that Juju can control it and get its agent set up. So everything underneath is Ubuntu. That's the host, the infrastructure level, and the guests. Not right now. We haven't done any work to support that. Yeah, so that's a really good question. There's a traditional way of doing that, right? So when you bring up your Mongo app and your Ubuntu system, there's various ways of making sure packages get kept up to date for security updates and things like that. You'd hook it up to an external service, something like Landscape. We've also been doing a lot of work around the images that we publish to be consumed by cloud users so that if you're deploying an application, you can be sure you're getting an officially supported canonical cloud image of Ubuntu that gets we publish new cloud images every time there's relevant security updates. And if you're using Juju and you're integrated into the stream of images, you can simply request a new image and you're sure that you have the most up-to-date base operating system without dealing with package updates or that kind of thing. And if you're truly moving towards a cloudy kind of way of doing things, you can imagine deploying six nodes of yesterday's image. And then when the time to update, deploy six more of the newer and migrate your workload or cut half of them over and deploy three of the newer and work out your upgrades like that. No, we start by grabbing just a plain base Ubuntu image, just a base cloud image that we publish that's just the base operating system that gets pulled from the machine provider that you're using and deployed to its hardware in whatever way that machine provider does it. In the case of OpenStack, it's Glance and Nova. EC2 is a little different. The base image gets booted with some metadata injected into it that CloudInit picks up. CloudInit is an early boot utility we use to pass in information to new cloud instances. Within that metadata, there's information about what it needs to do to check in with Juju. Once it finally gets bootstrapped and checks into Juju, Juju sends over the charm that I was talking about. And that describes how it installs MongoDB, that kind of thing. So the process would be deploy MongoDB, Juju gets an instance from its provider. It could be a machine or a virtual machine. Gets that, puts the charm down, and the charm immediately runs its install hook, which in the case of Mongo might be apt-get install MongoDB server, and then it starts from there. So it's not pre-canned. And in terms of co-location, we have different ways of handling that. If you're interested in co-locating Horizon with Nova API or something like that, we're working right now to, we've just landed support for co-locating services on the same machine via LXC containers. So you would put each of those services in an LXC container on the same machine. That way you're sure that there's no conflicts between the two, and you can easily tear them down and keep the machine in place. You could remove the services from the machine and keep the machine state in place. Any language you want, actually. So there's no, Juju doesn't put any constraints on the language or the DSL used within the charm. If you're comfortable writing bash, you can write your charm in bash. If you're comfortable using something like Chef or Ansible, you can do that as well. And you can have a charm written in Python talking to a charm written in Puppet as long as that interface I described is adhered to. There's no real reason why this wouldn't be compatible. We actually spent quite a bit of time over the last six months rewriting a lot of our charms on a standard Python framework. And while we were doing that, we were allowing users to upgrade during the rewrites. As long as we adhered to the interfaces, there was no real issues. We had different charms and different languages all over the place. Yeah. So bundles come from some work that I did a while ago when I first started working on OpenStack. So let me see. Sorry to bring up the terminal, but it's better if I show you this way. So a typical Juju deployment looks something like this, Juju deploy my SQL, Juju deploy RabbitMQ server, Juju deploy Nova compute, Juju add relation Nova compute to my SQL, Juju add relation, Nova compute, RabbitMQ, et cetera, et cetera. And you kind of have to do this for every service in the cloud. So if your topology is only a few services, it's not that big a deal. But for OpenStack, that diagram I showed you earlier, this turns into this gigantic list. In the early days of Juju and OpenStack, for me, I was looking for a way to declare all of this ahead of time in some YAML syntax or JSON. And that's kind of what has given birth to Juju bundles. So we're able to declare all this ahead of time in a YAML syntax and pass it to either the Juju GUI or some other utilities we have to actually make it a reality. So for anyone who saw the demo on, I'm sorry, Mark's keynote, bear with me a second. I'd love to show you. It's a very easy way to declare deployments ahead of time. And we have different ways of generating deployment configs for different variations of topology. And I've recently, in the last couple weeks, been trying to figure out a good way to add placement policy on that. So when you're deploying to maybe six nodes, make use of those six nodes as best you can, you're going to 100 nodes place services according to your resources. Yeah, let me see if I can get to one of the instances if I'm networked in. That goes back to the cloud init stuff I was talking about. So that provides a way to authenticate when a fresh image comes up, that there's a user created with pseudo access with any number of specified SSH keys. So when your instance comes up for the first time, you have an easy way in as the first time login. Since I bootstrapped this all in an external environment, it's relying on SSH keys that aren't on my laptop. So I can't log in and show you. But there's good stories for how you would pass all that authentication information in before boot. That would be configured in Maz. As long as you could get in there for the first time, you might have a charm that actually hooks up your Mongo node to a puppet infrastructure that's managing user or a subordinate charm that might hook it up to an LDAP structure, something like that, that handles all that for you. Or you can just have a subordinate charm that you attach to MongoDB that just has a hard coded list of SSH keys to add to the authenticated keys. I'm sorry I'm having trouble hearing you. The question was, so currently we've been trying to keep the number of config options we exposed via the charm somewhat limited so that if a user is just perusing the config, it doesn't look like the Nova config example where there's 800 possible variations of config. There's several ways of handling that. One, if it's something that's generally usable by many people, it would be to just add it to the charm. Another way would be to actually work with subordinate charms to have that stuff applied via there. Or hook what you've deployed into something that manages that externally. Yeah, there's potential for them to override. It's not like Puppet or Chef where you have every 10 minutes of checking in with the master in overriding config. Juju's very much event-driven. So if there's something else that changes in the service graph external to the service, it might trigger a relation event via any number of relations that might cause the config to be regenerated in some way. So it's very much assumed that the config files on disk are managed by Juju. And if you go and put something in there, it may not be there when you go back. Sorry? Private networking? Any connection to the internet? Yeah. If you're using MAS to satisfy your hardware resources with your own physical hardware, there's ways of making sure all the resources Juju needs are located within your network. That requires, since you're bringing up an image and app getting installed, it's probably assumed you have a local app repository somewhere on your network. The images need to be supplied to MAS in some way. So on the MAS server, you might poke a hole in the firewall or put the images in there some other way. There's ways of working around it. If you're using a private cloud, there's ways to make sure everything Juju needs outside of the app repository is satisfied in glance, for instance. So it's doable for sure. So I think we're at time. Thanks for coming. We're at the booth for the rest of the day. And thank you.


みなさんこんにちは。I'm Yosuke Hayashi from Koe Tecmo Games, the producer of Hyrule Warriors.今日は、本日は、Hyrule Warriorsの情報をご覧ください。You may know, Hyrule Warriors combines two series,The Legend of Zelda, and Dynasty Warriors.ゼルダの世界によって、You can use simple controls to defeat hordes of enemies with the flashy moves and exciting one-man army action of Dynasty Warriors.On the battlefield, the player is not the only one facing enemies.In addition to many Hyrulian soldiers, other characters like Zelda and Impa will fight alongside you on the same field.Depending on the situation, characters will engage in battle chatter,and the player's objectives will continuously change.There are some enemies you can't defeat easily merely using combo attacks.When you're facing this type of enemy,you must lock onto it using the L button,close the gap,and find the right opening to defeat it.In Hyrule Warriors,many of the gameplay elements are based on those from The Legend of Zelda series.Notice the familiar music when the player requires bombs.Looks like it's time to use them right away.You can throw bombs to destroy rocks,or even to attack enemies.Okay, now let's look at the map.Enemies are in red,and allies are in blue.On the battlefield, there are many keeps.And by taking over these keeps,you can increase your number of soldier bases.Changing the battle situation in your favor.This red square here represents one of the keeps.Defeat the enemies in this keep to take it over.Expanding your territory to create a favorable situation for your armyis the most important key to victory.Looks like a giant boss has appeared,King Dodongo.New missions will appear as battle situations change,and the victory conditions will also constantly change.Even just now,the victory condition changed toDefeat King Dodongo.So you have to defeat him to clear the stage.Can't damage him much with normal attacks.But since it's a common Zelda convention to use the item you just acquired,let's use the bombs we just got.Once you complete the stage,you'll see your score on screen,and you'll learn rupees and various other materials.I'll explain how you can use these later.In Hyrule Warriors,you can acquire many other familiar items from the Legend of Zelda series.In addition to destroying walls with bombs,you can attack distant enemies using arrows,climb up walls with the hookshot,and more.You have to take advantage of each type of itemand think your way through each level as you defeat enemiesand explore the field.And just like King Dodongo,who I showed earlier,you can defeat enemies who are more easily defeated with certain items.For example,here's Goma.If you've played a game from the Zelda series,you've probably encountered this monster before.It's weak spot is it's big open eye.But you can't effectively attack it with normal weapons.That's where the bow comes in.Use different kinds of items to battle various bosses,just like in the Legend of Zelda games.Hello everyone.I'm Ajiya Onuma from Nintendoand I'm a supervisor on Hyrule Warriors.I'm also the producer of the Legend of Zelda series.In Hyrule Warriors,there are many elements drawn from the Zelda series.I would like to show you one of them right now.Let's start with the Kuko.This is of course a past Zelda game.As you probably know,Kukos are a very familiar staple within the Zelda series.You'll notice them here and there in villages and towns,and you can pick one up or attack them.But if you keep attacking them,it makes them quite angry.Now here's a Kuko in Hyrule Warriors.You have to be careful in this game as well,since they will come after you if you accidentally hit them.But in some situations you can make them your allyand they may be able to help you turn the battle in your favor.I'll be back with more in a bit.Now,I'd like to spend a little bit of timeintroducing you to some of the playable characters in the game.Unlike in traditional Zelda titles,many characters will join the battle in Hyrule Warriors.First up,of course,is Link.In Hyrule Warriors,he appears as a soldier training to defend Hyrule Kingdom,where Princess Zelda lives.The signature weapon is,naturally,a one-handed sword.Link is a well-rounded hero,easy to use for anyone.And he can of course do his famous spin attack.Now for our heroine,Princess Zelda.In the main Zelda series,she normally doesn't get too involved in battles,but she is quite active as one of the playable characters in Hyrule Warriors.The signature weapon is a rapier.Where a fast and fierce combo attack,she can easily plow through monsters.But she can also create arrows of light to take down distant enemies.Impa often appears as a close advisor to Princess Zelda in the core series.Her character is designed as a sheikah soldier with a bit of Japanese flair.Her weapon is a massively powerful blade,a wide attack range.And she acts in talks,much like a samurai.Next up,another character familiar to Zelda fans,sheik.Much like Impa,she's a remaining survivor of the sheikah.And we designed her in the image of a ninja.Of course her true form is.Well,there might be some of you who don't know,so let those players try Hyrule Warriors and see for themselves.Useing her harp and martial arts,she's a speedy fighter in battle.In Hyrule Warriors,we also have more special appearances by characters from three beloved Zelda games.Ocarina of Time,Twilight Princess,and Skyward Sword.First up is Ocarina of Time.Here's Darunia,leader of the Gorons.He swings around this giant hammer of ease,and uses brute force to knock back waves of enemies.It's a perfect fit for his dynamic personality.And if you get him in the right mood,he'll bust out some fun dance moves too.Next we have Princess Ruto.She's also from Ocarina of Time.She can change the ground into water to attack enemies,or to travel from place to place.Her fighting style keeps opponents at a distance,and it's the perfect match for Azora Princess.From Twilight Princess,Midna and Agatha join the battle.Here's the Twilight Princess herself,Midna.Just as before,it looks like her true form has been changed by someone's spell.She can use her hair to grab and throw enemies,or to create a fist and punch them.Now for Agatha,the self-proclaimed Princess of the Insect Kingdom.She uses her parasol as a weapon,and also dynamically attacks enemies using the power of her favorite insects.In additionally,even the boss character Zant from Twilight Princess is playable in this game.He swings around the scimitars on his hands,summons various things,and can grow to an enormous size during battle.Tricky moves are definitely Zant's specialty.Next,Skyward Sword.Phi fought alongside Link as the spirit living inside his sword.Phi moves fluidly like she's dancing,and she can transform herself into a sword to attack enemies.Her mysterious manner of speaking is present in this title as well.Demon Lord Girahim,who relentlessly pursued Link and Skyward Sword,also appears.He's not just one of the enemies though.He's a playable character too.Just like in Skyward Sword,he will lead you around by the nose with a variety of sword attacks.Expecting to go all out during battle as well.In addition to characters returning from past Zelda games,what about new characters that are unique to Hyrule Warriors?This is the Sorceress of Light Lana,who takes to the battlefield for a book of sorcery.She happens to be one of the key characters in the story,and she always fights with all her might.She can create magic walls,and then push them,pinch foes with them,or destroy them to attack enemies.Ok,next up,grass cutting.I wouldn't say that cutting grass is the foundation of Zelda,but we all know it's something you definitely try out when you first acquire a sword.Cutting grass is not just some simple action you do to wallow away the time though.Sometimes you may find hearts,rupies,or even something that makes you wonder,how'd that get in there?Worry not,you can cut grass in Hyrule Warriors too.I hear that they even considered adding a stage where all you do is chop up grass,but unfortunately that didn't make the cut.As you advance the story,some characters will unlock new weapons.For example,the Fire Rod for Link,the Wind Waker for Zelda,and a spear with the power of a Deku Tree for Lana.With different weapons,you can enjoy completely different actions.So try them all out and find your favorite one.Here's an example.Each warrior has character specific special attacks.Using these special attacks will let you defeat a large number of enemies at once.In this title,we also added a new system called Focus Spirit.Fill your magic gauge and release it to use Focus Spirit.This will temporarily increase your character's abilities.So try to use it at key moments in battle,along with the right special attacks.Next,let's talk about Bomb Chews.A Bomb Chew is a type of mouse-shaped bomb that moves forward automatically.In Ocarina of Time,there was a bowling-like minigame using this item.In Hyrule Warriors,Bomb Chews now look like this.They're huge.No longer mouse-sized,they're more like giant capybara,with giant explosions to match.Back in a bit.It's not just the characters that are different from those in the Korazelda series.Since we created this unique game based on the Legend of Zelda franchise,the locations used in each battle are inspired by locales that will be familiar to all Legend of Zelda fans.Here's Skyloft from Skyward Sword,Lake Hylia from Ocarina of Time,and Twilight Field from Twilight Princess.There are more stages inspired by the Zelda universe,mainly from these three titles.We hope you will enjoy them all.Next we have Chain Chomp.Originally Chain Chomp was a character from the Mario universe,but somehow he made a guest appearance in a 2D Zelda game.I hear it started because Mr. Tezuka,who was working on Mario games back then as well,jokingly put one in a Zelda game.This is Chain Chomp in Hyrule Warriors.Looks like he's now a weapon.Ouch!Characters level up,as you use them in battle.Each character starts with certain stats,and by defeating more enemies and gaining experience,they can level up.When you defeat certain monsters,they might drop various materials.Using these materials,you can craft different types of badges that will enhance the warrior's stats.There are many types of enhancements.They can increase a weapon's number of attacks,create longer combos,and focus spirit time.Increase a number of times you can use special attacks and potions,and so on.By leveling up and creating badges,you can greatly enhance a character's stats.Sometimes you may acquire new weapons during battle.Some of them may have special abilities called skills.There are several varieties of skills.Some of them increase attack damage,or perhaps increase a chance of finding hearts.When there is an empty skill slot,you can fuse the weapon with another one to increase the weapon's skills.The harder to battle,the higher the chance of enemies dropping better weapons.So try battling and fusing to create your own ultra powerful weapons.Next up,we have the moon from the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.In Majora's Mask,once the moon hits the ground,it's game over.It made for a very tense atmosphere for the player.In Hyrule Warriors,the moon works like this.Use a hook shot on the moon and...It never occurred to me to use the moon like that.Alright,now I have another exciting mode I'd like to talk about.Please,take a look.This looks like a screen from a classic Zelda game.However,what you're actually looking at is an all new adventure mode.It's a unique experience that combines the items of Zeldawith the gameplay of Hyrule Warriors in a new way.What you see now is the map and adventure mode.Every block on the grid represents one stage with its own unique victory condition.Once the battle starts,you'll be transported to the world of Hyrule Warriors.After you've fulfilled a victory condition,the grid next to the stage will be unlocked and you can move forward.In some of the maps,you can select the command search.Using the exploration items you collect on the map,you can find hidden items.This is a bit similar to classic Zelda games.If you are successful at exploring,hard to find items like new weapons and heart pieces will sometimes appear as rare victory prizes.Find treasure through exploration,then battle to retrieve it.As you advance in adventure mode,you can also unlock new playable characters,and some weapons only available in this mode.So,please try it out.Next we have...Wait,I think I can hear something.Ah,it's a gold sculptula.Long time players will remember these guys from their collections.And the more you find,the more items you get.Of course,they're always hiding in odd places that make you say,Hey,why are you hiding there?Finding them is always a challenge.Of course,they're hiding in Hyrule Warriors as well.You hear that?It's coming from the direction of a gold sculptula,so you can find it by following the sound.Ok,see you in a sec.In Hyrule Warriors,just like in previous Dynasty Warriors titles,you can enjoy a two player co-op mode with your family and friends.However,since we have the Wii U gamepad,instead of splitting the TV screen,we made it so each player can have his or her own screen,the TV monitor,or the gamepad screen.This might be a little technical,but in two player mode,in order to process both screens simultaneously,the screen resolution is reduced slightly compared to when you're playing in single player mode.That said,just like when you're playing by yourself,we made sure the gameplay is as exciting and fun as it is in single player.Of course,when you're playing single player,off TV mode is also available.Hyrule Warriors is a collaboration title between the legends of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors.But,at the same time,it's a fun spin-off Zelda title.So,we made sure to add many fan-favorite elements.Hyrule Warriors will be released in North America on September 26th.That's it for today's presentation.Thank you for watching.For a final bid,we're showing off a character you simply cannot forget to mention when discussing Zelda games.Thank you all for watching.


All right, thanks for staying with us on productive youth engagement is the meaningful participation of young people in activities that contribute to their own development and the development of their communities. It can include a wide range of activities such as education, career advancement, unemployment and health, which is, you know, wellness, drugs. Governance plays a pivotal role in productive youth engagement. And a good governance structure is one that creates an enabling environment where young people can thrive and reach their full potential and ensure that they have a voice in the decision-making processes that affect their lives. It's known news that good governance has been a major challenge facing Nigeria and other developing countries as they strive to overcome developmental challenges. So today we're asking what is the role of governance in productive youth engagement and we're focusing on Canada State. Now please let's hear what you have to say. Remember you can join the conversation, send us an SMS or WhatsApp to the world, 803-4663. Jella, I want to quickly hear your thoughts on productive youth engagement. When you hear the word youth engagement, what comes to your mind? Well the active participation of youth within the spheres of governance and the sustainability of it, not just for the now, but having the right process, the right systems in place that ensures the continuity of that over time because I think with youth engagement and youth participation you're guaranteed continuous fresh perspective in the areas of governance which can be actually good for nation building. Awesome. So for me when I think productivity, I think empowerment, I think enlightenment, I think all of those things because again if we do not have that level of growth you know amongst the young people where they are very very empowered and enlightened then we're having a big major crisis at our hands. All right so let me bring in our guests. Sonu Siva Turei, Dawakim Tofa, you hear my house so well today. He's the Chief Press Secretary of Governor of the Governor of Canada State. He is a PRN Development Communication Specialist with experience in media, international development and private sector. He is the Vice President of National Operations at Kingston Organic PLC, UK and the Director of Stakeholders Engagement at Nigeria Yield-Wise Programme. Sonu Siva went to Bayero University, Kano and Kano State, Nigeria and has an MSc in social work with specialisation in community development at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Laotec of Wilmashaw. Hi, can you imagine? In order not going everywhere. Thank you so much Sonu Siva for joining us this evening. Thank you for having me. Finally in my studio. We've been chatting back and forth. I'm coming, I'm not coming, I'm not coming but at least now you have a bit of time to see us. So for us, right, we know all the drama that is happening around Kano State right now. But something very strong struck me when the governor just assumed office. I remember when he was talking about I think Caribbean phone theft amongst young people and I know that he had a lot of promises around, you know, youth engagement. And for me, if I ever want to have a conversation around governance, I really don't want to sorry you. I don't want to deal with your political issues. But I want you to help us paint a picture of where the young people are right now in Kano State. Bear in mind that youth population right across Nigeria, they are high 70% of our population. It's not a it's not a it's not a population to joke with. And again, even with the recent happenings around young people, right in the music industry and all the things that have happened in recent times, there is no better time, you know, to shine the spotlight on the things that we can do as a government, you understand, to engage our young minds. So tell us first of all, what is the youth terrain like in Kano State and, you know, how far in terms of engagement has your governor done with young people? Yeah, well, let me start by, you know, writing some of the challenges that were set to tackle. Oh, we have started tackling in the first hundred days of the administration of engineer Abu Qubir Yusuf. You know, when you talk about engagement, involvement, participation and what have you. Our type of politics or our ideology in politics is actually tilted towards ensuring that youth, both men and women are involved at any stage. So therefore, before the elections, we were able to engage a lot of youth to have those ideas, beautiful ideas from them in whatever the politicians were going to do. And then the blueprint we are going to also develop for the benefit of the state. So right from the onset, we are determined to do a lot of things that has direct behind them with the youth involvement. So mentioning the issue of challenges, Kano in particular have been bedeviled with the issue of phone snatching. Over a hundred people have been killed in the last few years in an attempt to snatch their phones, including very important human beings, very serious professionals, medical doctors, pharmacists, engineers, were killed in the street of Kano because some hoodlums wanted to snatch their phones. So this is one of the major challenge that his excellency is set to really tackle before the election and is written in his blueprint that he is going to declare a state of emergency on phone snatching. So the second major issue affecting Kano in the last 10 years will be leading in the issue of drug abuse.  Amrobri, Kidnapping, rape and some other things, a lot of things. A lot of advice actually. Exactly. So therefore when he was elected as a governor, immediately after the swearing in, what his excellency did from the swearing in ground, he straight went to the Kano Reformatory Institute that was established by the former governor of Kano State, Musa Konkoso. It is among the 26th Institute of Secular Accusation for Youth established by Konkoso and all of them were closed down by Ganduja administration for eight years. So he visited the school in Gilu and he ordered the immediate reopening of that school so that drug addicts can be enrolled there and not just enrollment. After the psychosocial therapist that they will undergo and the medication, they call it de-intoxication.  So after that they will be trained on different skills and some of them will be sent back to school, those that have required our qualification. Some will be trained on different skills and they will be given startup capitals, tailoring, carving tree and some other jobs. So the school is now reopened and we have started searching for the beneficiaries and then he also constituted a tax force on drug abuse because in his blueprint there's an issue of establishing an agency, an anti-drug abuse agency that will work in company of the NDLEA police, military and all other security agencies to curb the maintenance of drug abuse in the state. But before that because establishing an agency is a long process, you have to do a law and you have to do a lot of things. So his excellency decided to have that tax force of retired commissioner of police, retired NDLEA personnel and then the serving NDLEA command in Kano and the Kano police command, all are members of that tax force. So they have been going around trying to arrest some of those that are hiding in different places to do that. And then another thing which is the root of all this is these are the suppliers of the drugs into the states. So all their hideouts, the markets and the places that are hiding to sell the drugs to those addicts have been tackled. So we stopped them from the source and then we're trying to roll them into the reformatory area. And then he also appointed senior special assistant reformatory institute because in Kano we have private reformatory institute afar from those that are owned by the government. So therefore we need to regulate them what are their solubles, what they do, how they do their things, what are the type of things they do in the some four regulation purposes. So therefore we'll have the government and the private one because some people will prefer to go to private reformatory institute. Yes, but the government should have a hand in regulating those institutions as well. So we have done that and to tell you within the first hundred days of His Excellency there was no single report of Fonsonachal. There was no single report from the police or DSS for Fonsonachal in Kano. And he was able to bring back the street light across the metropolitan area because some of them are hiding under that dark areas, the blind spots so that they can just rob people of their phones. So therefore the street light have been restored in all the places so there will be no hiding place. And then the security are always on monitoring and surveillance so that nobody will have the opportunity to rob anybody within Kano streets. So this on the aspect of the negative and he also been proactive because we have engaged hundreds of thousands of views during our campaign and we ensure that we don't deal with the drug addicts, we don't deal with the political talks because we don't promote political talk. So most of the use we engage are well educated. Some of them they finish secondary school, some of them have diploma, some LCE, some are in the university, some have graduated from the university. So he categorized them into different levels. Those that have no secondary school certificate just last week he established Kano Street Sweepers. 3,000 of them were engaged to be sweeping the street and they will be given monthly allowance. 3,000 of them. And they say your streets in Kano need sweeping because last time I visited Kano with my father-in-law almost the streets were dirty. So that initiative has taken place, it was launched I think between one week to 10 days ago. Yes, that's for the non-education. For the ones that do not have exactly the same country school certificates. Exactly. And then for those that have secondary school and for those that are in school already in colleges of education and politics, the issue of removal of false subsidy created a lot of chaos. Some people I had in the news here in Lagos that some people even dropping from the university from the tertiary institution because they cannot be able to pay the tuition fee. So in Kano we have over 10 tertiary institutions including two state-owned universities Kano University of Science and Technology and the Northwest University Kano. Those two universities and other tertiary institutions in streets of increasing the the tuition fee. His excellency said the current tuition fee before the false subsidy removal should be reduced to 50%. So you see somebody going or studying NCE diploma at the rate of less than 10,000 naira as a registration fee per session and those that are in the university are paying just above 10,000 naira per session. So therefore the thing is just easier because we don't want to because any time the issue of out-of-school children or issue of education is reported across the globe they will say Nigeria, Nigeria Northern Nigeria and Kano contributes a lot. Why? Because of the population of the state. So if you do a prorata approach Kano is always higher because we have a large population over 20 million people at the moment. So therefore we don't want anybody we need people to be educated.  Exactly for access purposes you understand. And that's not enough. The previous administration had a back lot of the SSE fees with the NECO and the current year this year this 2023 the students were not paid. So on assumption within the first month his excellency paid 1.6 billion naira to settle the NECO examination for 57,000 students. Wow. That would be right in SSE because if they didn't write the SSE they didn't cross between the secondary and tertiary and some of them will just be at the communities trying to create mayhem become political talks with the drug addicts and what have you. So 557,000 students were saved under that initiative as well. Then on the other side if you go to university education we have one federal university which is called Bayero University Kano. The government don't control that university it's a federal university and they have no option because of the removal of forced subsidy they will have to increase the registration fee. It was around 40, 50, 60 and they doubled it to 80 not even 80 over 100. Yes some would pay 120 some 50 some special courses like medicine I've been paying around 180,000. So a lot of Kano Indigenous students decided to abandon their studies because they cannot pay and their parents cannot pay. So because of that outcry his excellency decided to pay for all the 7,000 Indigenous students 7,000 of them in Bayero University pay all their registration fee for this year for the 2023-2024 academic session that's amount to 700 million Naira. He settled all this. Again in 2011 during the Concosso administration he introduced the foreign and domestic scholarship for undergraduate and first graduate where over 7,000 Kano youth were trained in different countries and in some private universities within the country. At the moment we have over 3,000 PhDs that benefited from that scheme in 2011 some of them over a hundred of them are now associate professors working in different universities. So part of the blueprint of his excellency he said he's going to reintroduce that program because Ganuja abandoned it. So on assumption in office we just published an advertisement that anybody with a first class an Indigenous of Kano should apply to tell you I'm happy to tell you that right now most of them are in Abuja some of them have gotten their visa. 1,001 first class holders Kano Indigenous are flying to 14 different countries to study master's degrees yes around the globe. Wow. All of them are youth. That is a good place to take a break. This is really good report. Stay with us we'll be right back. All right so if you just turn the end we're having an amazing chat with Sonuzi on the Kano state right and their their plans for youth engagement right now remember you can join the conversation send us an sms or whatsapp to do in 180384663 you can also tweet at us at weissho after one weissho i mean dearla i'm sure you have so many questions because the way Sonuzi is just talking like my body does this with me because you know anything that has to do with young people you know i'm already sold out i i really love a lot of things you've said i like the idea because i know about that education program that Kokonso did and i know that you know for the period of Gamjuj's leadership eight years in government there was no continuity and you know and for me every time like you rightly said whenever there's a mention of northern Nigeria the next thing is you know people don't go to school there i was born bred butat in Kaduna state and now we go school pass people that live in the north they go to school but there's something that you know i've been pressing to ask because i know that many many many years ago when my mother needed to go to Dubai she used to go to Kano state you know then take the flight and all of those things right Kano is a commercial hub for the north like it's the biggest market so the way you have vibrancy in Lagos is the way you should have vibrancy in Kano what happens when we what happens and this is why we're having this conversation what happens where we neglect the the very boisterous and useful population is that you find issues around these drugs you find issues around crime and all of that so beyond education right there's the part of education which are fantastic right what would real empowerment mean for a Kano state young person today what will real empowerment mean to them because you see what empowerment means to me living in Lagos is completely different for what it will mean to someone living in Kano state you know so are these measures taken by the government or by the governor is excellency the issues around sorting out the bills on education sorting out the bills on learning the ascending people abroad and all of that are these real would it make sense to a Kano person that yes the governor is doing something for me well um yes you know before you do empowerment you have to profile the beneficiaries because you have to understand the social status of the beneficiaries so that you'll be able to determine what they need and what you can support them with yeah part of this uh in collaboration with some uh charity organizations uh the Kano governor is distributing uh uh some some palliative in terms of uh to the poorest of the poor rural uh yes dwellers of ten thousand of ten thousand because at some point uh there are people who just need money to survive so yes i tell you if you go to a hard to reach area you can find somebody that has never seen ten thousand of his own his entire life so giving him that ten thousand under that uh make a lot of sense to him exactly and a lot of people uh in the rural areas even in the cities there are some people who can use five thousand to treat something you understand so therefore another thing he did was to give an automatic tax relief for any local trade so if your capital is is below hundred thousand there are you're selling and buying something along the street you are examine you are exempted from paying tax so that you can be able to grow that business because if you're disturbed with a paying payment of uh tax then there will be issue so that's another uh some tax holidays for people that truly need it exactly exactly and then away from that uh there's another type of woman and youth empowerment and it's mostly trying to give uh to to focus attention on women uh which is the monthly empowerment so we're now getting ready to start giving fifty thousand naira after a short training of three days maximum of one way to women so that they can start business at home backyard farming uh maybe some production of uh uh detergents or whatever it is that that money can do for them to raise yes yes exactly so as soon as we start that will be on a monthly basis across the 44 local government of the city so that will also reduce poverty what we are targeting to do is to do poverty and hunger yes you know people a lot of people cannot eat and um so that's another thing and again you know ganduji at the eve of his um administration employed uh over 10 000 workers in the last eight years he decided not to employ anybody and there have been job racketeering within the system people are buying job offers at the rate of 500 000 naira in different agencies there was never a time when they made an advert people should apply for a job in the state and about 30 percent of the civil servant retired in different sectors and they didn't do replacement and he is not paying pensions so therefore another way uh his excellency stopped that uh uh employment immediately because we know it didn't it didn't follow the due process so therefore we are now screening them to ensure who are those genuinely need job who are those genuinely meet the criteria for job at what sector because some people might borrow certificate of somebody to just apply for a job like that because there was no due process in the process of employment so after that after the screening whatever number we found to be to to reflect the true picture of employment they will be given their salaries to continue from where they are but another aspect of the society that we always neglect is their retirees the pensioners pensioners have suffered a lot in camp because from 2015 till the last day in his administration gondoganduji did not pay gratuity of those that retired from the civil service in the state this is why young people are also going into fraudulent crime because they say if i can work like they are suffering just you know and you know that that has a little effect because those young people exactly so it's it then also somehow feels crime but let that deal are coming quickly okay so my question quickly is that um i mean the governor is doing quite this is administration is doing quite a whole lot considering holly's plans um but i want to ask is there any platform or any process in place for inclusive um governance where young people are giving the opportunity you know to voice their opinions and be a part of the decision making in kind of things yes first of all let let me confirm to you that i have forgotten in the state house of assembly we have a speaker who is less than 40 years old and we have other members uh at the early 30s to just give that representation of the youth because state assembly is very uh it is a serious arm of government that requires a strong representation of the people exactly that's one and then in the cabinet also have commissioners that are very very young and they are both male and female uh it's a true representation and then other aides like the sse is the sse is and some special advisors you see people in their late 20s early 30s were given opportunity to serve the government so he is truly a man for the youth exactly so quickly and then probably in the history of come on i might be the youngest sports person to the i can see that i was going to say i'm just gonna ask i didn't finish yes so so if you're talking about the platform in kano since the during the administration of rabbi kunkusu we have what is called community orientation committees okay it's at the state level at the local government level and at the world level and it has representation of women representation of of of religious leaders traditional leaders and representation of youth those committees are in charge of anything to do with the health education uh empowerment at the community level so select beneficiary of selection of beneficiaries on any empowerment will be done through that the fair of schools that belong to the community the fair of hospital provision of equipment staff and what have you they are the source of government in terms of what the community so the government to the people exactly i just wanted to say that two things quickly the people that go out to study that they are going this one thousand one hundred what is the plan to reintegrate them back into the system to come and impact kano state what is the plan for that yeah you know uh in the context we are today if you say you're sending somebody abroad with the hope that he uh he or she will come back to serve in the state you don't have the space you may not have the space so what we viewed on this initiative is that if you go to abroad you will have the required international exposure you can either stay there at work you have your parent here and you can contribute to even foreign direct investment because you are earning in dollars or in euro or in sterling pound abroad and you're supporting your people at home and you might have interest to do a business in nigeria so therefore wherever you are you are an ambassador of kano so we want to take kano to the world if you go to china engla america you see young men and women from kano doing a lot of things in business in universities teaching and what have you so out of those three thousand phd that i tell you a significant number of them are in different countries i know about hand about 50 in saudi arabia about 20 in afghanistan about another 50 in toiki so they are all there representing kano and nigeria as academics and they're doing pretty well every year they come to nigeria visit their family and what have you so you need to find a way of reducing the burden on the government because you don't have the space before before if you train somebody he needs to even sign a contract a bond that you will come back in the state so now you don't need that because because you are producing like 100 000 graduates every year and you have a space of less than 1000 per year so how are you going to do so you need to train them on how to do into how to go into private sector how to go into academic environment in nigeria and in other now the advantage is that yes so there's no any bond strategic plan all we need is that you are capable of that particular course you're studying and you are an indigent and you are able to even go beyond indigents of kano including resident if you stay in kano then i'm relocating what are you doing but thank you so much i think this is actually uh it's been a refreshing conversation i'm looking forward to having an exclusive because again it's it's beyond the um i want us to be able to like take it and now show truly these are the things it would be nice to have a conversation even to the young people too that have benefited from this and how it has impacted their life we're hoping that the governor will uh will be able to survive this i would i had one quick question okay this situation now because i know kano youths they upload the oats how because i saw that the governor immediately declared um what's it called a coffee so how would he manage the emotions of young people in kano with the situation around the tribunal really quickly yes you know as a chief security of the state he needs to be proactive that is why immediately after the judgment because the opposition members are aware of the outcome of the judgment because they know in any way or the other how to manipulate the process so they've pre emptied the judgment so therefore they lined up people to celebrate to come out to celebrate so that they can show they are popular but they are not popular in any way because we won the election with a landslide victory of over 126 uh margin between nnpp and apc so therefore he declared the state of emergency so that he will not allow them to create meh because there may be retaliation because nnpp is in charge of kano so therefore if the minority group can come out and jubilate then the majority can aggravate some exactly because of the nature of the situation yes so he manages the emotion and then the following day there was no any emotion on him that the following day he had the weekly as an anti-consolidation he controlled the government for you yes but thank you so much and you see i think we had a fantastic conversation we will take this conversation further now remember if you enjoyed the conversation thank you dearla follow us across all our social media handles that way so

great conversation to your screen


Greetings everyone! Today I'm very happy that you endured through the all the three days of sessions and even that you postponed your services and sangria still later. So today I would like to present a bit reverse stories, stories that you all did today. So I would like to present a story which is from bottom up road that has reason from bottom up and this also part of my story. So in first I mean the reason why is because I live in the area where those padwellings were five minutes away from my house and yeah I'm all through interested padwellings from the childhood. So my talk will be separated in three points. So from local heritage to more heritage so basically how the story through yeah basically hundreds hundred and forty years more developed and how did they connect it with the identity then the second point would be the identity carriers and so if the prehistoric site can be that the last point will be the archaeology and a lot of creation of cultural heritage. So the about padwellings you've heard today quite a lot so I will just skip what they are and go directly on the year of when they were first time discovered since linear that was the case of Karol Dejman. So that was the time that people basically received that information of the peak size of expressions with a romantic approach. So this is one of the paintings from the historic museum. There are many others that exists throughout the Alps and this concretely is a picture from from that area that I will describe later and that is fun enough expo in Paris 1878 and this is the statue of liberty at least it's had the later travel to New York but behind it it's basically a location where all those findings were found. So basically even at the earliest stage it was connected this identity with those early findings. So the next point I would like to stress is that in the 30s and 40s there were a lot of excavations also connected with padwellings and at that time there was book published which is givers but what's important is that later on became mandatory literature for the school children in Slovenia. Why am I saying this is because this is the something that really synced in the whole Slovenian identity I would say because everyone knows about this heritage and we are still very local so this is the theater play inspired by a way that book and it's also the romantic view and this is basically a pop-up theater that happened in the 50s 60s as a consequence of another excavations at that time. So what I'm trying to say here is that there is a clear collaboration with archaeological excavations and then the reaction of the local society and here there is a shift so basically this archaeologist John Grigant invited locals to participate with the excavations so at that time basically everyone was either visiting the sites or participating so this guy later became our archaeologist in this type of archaeology and we are now well almost in the present where also my story begins so there is an association, a local association in Munich and basically what we were motivated by the interdisciplinary excavations of Anton Balustrak and basically together we created something let's say a brand or some idea like the daily research in the land of piedwellers and now this association is basically a motor that drives the identity creation or let's say heritage creation and they have a small exhibition permanent one and then lots of different workshops and basically the guided tours and what's most important is that everyone comes together in events like Alweins day where we invite also basically all the interested public that is involved in heritage that means that not only a state institutes are involved but also local creation and craftsmen so basically all that they feel somehow connected with this heritage and now I'm just trying to expand on what is the role of this NGO in creating the local identity now we are I must remind them now we are still pre UNESCO it's pretty so basically that NGO was basically creating a huge let's say motivation that later on resulted in yeah basically resulted in widespread identification effects I would say and basically later on of course this association came to some challenges and what were they were basically limited to funding and the lack of permanent like they continue to use the thing so basically lots of people were fluctuating and basically just the few of them states and carried this on and my observation was that overcoming these challenges spread basically if the associations or NGOs would be professionalized so at least one person would be employed and to cover this basically interpretation of the heritage and taking care of all the dirty small business then this community would be much stronger together and what this what I'm proposing here is that such NGOs should focus in basically that section of the population so if we imagine that these are the let's say curators or the one who are generating this event and that are the direct contacts of them so friends families this is the first wave or let's say the first part of the society that is not directly connected to those uh society association and those are the ones who are then taking the interest of the wider one so let's say they're the pioneers of the heap so to say and then after that it can go much faster so basically just to come to this 2011 so we've seen this slide already so this is something that changed dramatically in the view of local perception of this association so basically now we are inviting or let's say the association is inviting international partners so from Austria, Italy and basically from everywhere and this is again erringata I guess we are all very much impressed by the results and UNESCO designation I mean instruction also brought some let's say some political motivation to support this local society or yeah municipalities so basically next year there is going to be a big visitor center project started started to build and it's would be one of those places that would then interpret also this broader picture of the not only one location out of 111 but also others and that is for me very important point because right now it is just the idea which is not tangible and this is one of my favorite definitions of heritage so basically it's not just physical entity but also a source of information knowledge and the carrier of personal and shared identity this is one of the European heritage networks which I strongly recommend to look at their publications and opposing to what Stela presented before I'm suggesting that at least in our case so in the case of padwellings there is some political neutrality I mean at least today because together that in this platform that is basically 130 institutions involved there is enough resources so human power to as he creates a common heritage with smaller parts well now just quickly through the role of heritage experts that I thought it would be interesting for you to hear is that we need to know that heritage values and meaning are not defined only but heritage workers but also associations like I just showed and then that we should try to open up possibilities that heritage is interpreted and presented and at last I think it's connecting the local heritage with the world heritage is one of the leading roles of management bodies like we are like us so basically we are fostering some kind of shared identity which is not easily seen if you are living in a small village all your life and as a conclusion I would like to say that archeological research can be an inspiration for creative works like we've seen that carried out from the early start so from the beginnings and basically can and is fueling the local identity and second that prehistoric sites are can be identity carriers for personal and shared identities thirdly that common identity is very important that it's strengthened and in the local societies like one of the many has to be contextualized and that is in my view role of the cultural workers or heritage workers and yeah that is one of the two points that maybe we could discuss because we discussed this with colleagues already yesterday so can the values of this one group become a heritage without intervention of an expert and the second does creativity inspired by heritage change its heritage itself so thank you a lot
