What's your comments about the middle class? So I think there's good news and bad news for the middle class. The bad news is the rich are getting richer and in the middle class in some ways is disappearing. The good news is even the poor of today and the middle class of today is doing better than they did 500 years. Remember 500 years ago we were surfs and you know slate. If you're stuck in the middle class you better make sure you like your job. I mean not everybody, not going to have 100% of people aren't going to be able to build Gates. That's the realist. There's a difference in talent. There's luck to it. Yeah, but at the end of the day I would say this. Everybody should strive financially to be above average. Not everybody can be a billionaire.


What's up you guys to the down a welcome back to my channel for those of you who are new. Thank you so much for joining me today So I have been kind of just giving you guys information on like what questions you may have especially with this whole COVID-19 like hitting the world and how it's like affecting Pre-PAs and PA students and PACs in general kind of across the board in various different ways and one way that it's affecting my pre-PAs out there is Test-taking and that's the same thing actually for PAs and PACs But that is a whole nother video that I will get into later, but that's what I'm gonna be talking about today I made a video a while back about everything kind of shifting to online versions and Really and truly it is the same for the test-taking model And I know that a lot of you were really excited because you were like, yes The pro metric or primary centers are closed I don't have to take my GRE so my schools are no longer going to require the GRE Sorry to say you're sadly mistaken Because the GRE testing is still going to move forward and that is the same thing that's going to happen with the PA cat So I just wanted to bring that information for you And if you want more information like this anything pre-PA related or GRE just to health care information at all Please hit that subscribe button like this video and hit the notification bell so you can know every time that I put out a new Video I'm gonna go to the GRE information first So a lot of you take the GRE for various different reasons not just PA school And you were concerned about not being able to take your test. Well ETS is launching the GRE general test at home option for test takers So when you just go to ETS org, I will leave that link for you as well You can just click on the GRE section because you can do backslash GRE and then click that hyperlink So let's go there and see what they're talking about. Okay? so To meet the needs of students who are unable to take the GRE general test at a test center due to public health concerns ETS is temporarily offering a GRE general test at home option in Selected areas. Okay, and this is going to be done through proctor you so I am very familiar with proctor you because I use Proctor you when I was taking all of my different tests for my online classes that I took through University of New England Maybe some of you are familiar with proctor you as well But there will be like a pro like you literally have to have your computer You're gonna have to like span the room with your camera so they can see that there's nothing in the room Of your test taking area You're gonna have to like test your mic and all that stuff so that they can see hey Like you don't have any like materials that you can cheat with and there is like a proctor Just looking dead in your face while you're taking the exam So that is the option that they are going with for the GRE test Okay, so it says that the test is offered in your country or location as of March 23rd, which was last week 2020 the at-home test is available in the United States, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, China and Macau, China. I think that's how you pronounce it. I don't know but I did my best So you have these three steps right here where you can go and see if your Computer meets the actual requirements that is needed to do the test taking at home So that is something that you would want to go through and look at and also you are gonna have to sign up through like Proctor You like you have to do a systems check through them So that is something that you should be aware of because don't think that just because hey you know test centers are closed and They're not offering test regularly anymore that you don't have to take the GRE because you still are required to take the GRE and The PA cat and if you haven't seen my last video on the PA cat It is the physician assistant college admissions test similar to the MCAT. Please go I'll leave a link for that as well where you can just click on that video and get more information on it But it's the new PA school entrance exam So there are about like 10% of schools that are currently recommending it or requiring it So if you're interested in a school that is actually requiring the PA cat Then you're gonna have to take it and they also have an online version for you to do as well So I'm gonna just go to the PA cat Websites I click on this link for you guys so you guys can see exactly what they're talking about okay? So let me go to their COVID-19 updates All right So let's read what this says as the entire world copes with the detrimental impacts of COVID-19 exam master shares the deep concerns of students and Educators about the effect that the crisis will have on the current and upcoming admission cycles We are working timelessly tirelessly with our partners at Prometrics testing centers and clients at PA programs across the country to ensure that students are able to take the PA cat Safely starting May 1st, 2020.  So maybe This might be a benefit for you all it says we have worked with a pro metric to provide a remote Proctoring option for the PA cat Scheduling for remote live proctoring is now open with the testing beginning May 1st to Scheduled to take the PA cat remotely and to ensure that your computer meets the technical requirements of Prometrics live remote proctoring platform. Please visit and gives you a hyperlink It says we recommend scheduling the PA cat exam as early in the cycle as possible to ensure availability registrants who have already Completed an appointment to take the PA cat may reschedule their appointment to take the exam remotely Okay, so that is the information there for you guys. You will have to take these exams. You have to do it remotely I highly suggest that you all You know schedule your exams, you know early in the cycle because you have no idea what is gonna happen We don't know how things are gonna continue to ship So it's important that you secure your slot and hopefully maybe some of you You know actually taking the test in the confines of your own home that might give you a better sense of like comfort You're not gonna be as stressed You know having to wake up and go someplace You just kind of wake up you roll out of bed and you know just brush your teeth and stuff And you go and you take your exam and that might be a better situation for you So look at this as a plus. Yes You still have to take the exams. I'm sorry I'm so sorry But what that does all that means is now you have an opportunity to kind of just make your actual test taking Environment one that will be conducive to your success So hopefully this information is beneficial to you and helpful to you And you guys can do well on these exams and get into PA school or whatever other GRE program That you are trying to get into thank you guys so much for watching if you have any other questions for me Please leave them in the comment section below if you have any questions about the PA cat specifically leave those as well And then I can like shuttle them off to The the representative at exam master that I'm in contact with so that they can answer and I can give you guys the information as well Thank you guys so much for watching. I will talk to you guys next time


EDF Energy have a programme called Inspire which is an education-based programme with the aim of raising aspirations and STEM-related subjects. So today is all about bringing science to a rural community. EDF Energy are sponsoring our tour of Somerset this term and so without them we won't be able to operate. We're able to go around about 16 schools in the region. So it benefits rural schools because we go to their site and they don't have to go to a site centre, for example, which could be many hours away. They experience different science in here. They've done some things with light and with sound, just a little bit out of the ordinary really. Just an opportunity really to wow them so they all go away buzzing about science and about the experience that they've had. I think it's a good opportunity because you have a chance to learn about things that you wouldn't really learn in lessons and that you can actually do it rather than just watching someone do it. I find it quite interesting because there's lots of things going on rather than just making someone one thing. The teachers like it because it's something different which enhances what the kids do in class and the kids like the chance to do it for themselves basically. Get the hands on the kids and get that confidence of doing some experiments themselves and finding out how it all works. The partnership with Institute of Physics joining up with other people and other organisations is wonderful to build the best opportunities for children in this area. Often these are the places they get missed out. I felt exciting when I came in because I've never done something like this before and it was just different because it's smaller. But you still have all the space to do what you need to do. We were looking at wine glasses and how to make wine glasses sing and so learning about how sound waves travel. In the lab in the lorry you do science stuff. I do enjoy that kind of stuff because it's good, it's enjoyable. You have better things, better equipment. Instead of watching a video clip you can actually do it and I think hands on. They give me a lot more better understanding, making it a bit easier to learn. Meaning that I can look forward to a better understanding of things that I might do in my future career path. It's really important for us as EDF to be able to start thinking about recruitment for the future for our power stations. But also just show children the opportunities that are available to them. Opposite it's a great partnership and again it shows the local kids how science engineering works in the world around them. By being involved in events like this we're able to show children that we're here. We can explain about the project of Hinkley Point C. I think the children have had an absolutely wonderful time not only here in Chard but as it's toured around the rest of Somerset.


Governor Andy Beshear and Appalachian Regional Commission federal co-chair Gail Manchin announced $5.3 million to help flood recovery efforts in Letcher and Perry County's June 18th at the Delta Hotel in Ashland, Kentucky. They also announced that the registration is now open for the 2023 ARC annual conference, which will feature keynote speaker John Cal Perry. Oh listen, it is thrilling that these 12 other states are coming to Kentucky and are coming to Ashland. We're going to fill up our hotels. We're going to fill up our restaurants. We're going to have an incredible experience, but mainly we're going to get to show off. We're going to get to show off everything that we are doing here in Kentucky. We're going to show off how we're even rebuilding from the worst of the worst moments. Talking about how, if we come together, if we look at new solutions, we can truly move the region forward. Cancer, it's a very scary word, but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. The conference will be held in Ashland, Kentucky, September 11th and 12th and will bring elected officials, business leaders and non-profit organizations from across Appalachia to the Commonwealth. One of the most important things about the conference and certainly we still live from the days of COVID when we were trying to do everything by Zoom, now people can get together. And I think one of the most important things that occurs at this conference is the con lottery, sharing of ideas, showcasing what a community has been able to do, that another state can go back and think about a similar project in their region. And so, for me as the federal co-chair, it is absolutely, it's like the perfect store of bringing all these people together to work together, share ideas, but also have a great time. ARC plans to announce additional investments in the region during the conference. For more information and to register, go to ARC.gov. Reporting for Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


See, most of the people, I know there's a lot of stuff going on here. In United States, everybody is doing astral journeys, it's just hallucination, okay? You lie down and just imagine that you're flying here or flying there, that's not it. See, what is being referred to, unfortunately, everything becomes ridiculous when all kinds of people start handling it. What is being referred to as astral is, there are five kinds of bodies. Physical body, mental body, energy body, etheric body and bliss body is the five dimensions of the body. So physical body is that which you can obviously see is an accumulation of the food that we have eaten. So the type of food that we have definitely has an impact on what type of body you gather. The next one is a mental body. When we say mind, we are not referring to any one particular part. Every cell in the body has its own intelligence. So there is a whole mental body. And these two are like, this is your hardware, that is your software. Your hardware and software are no good unless they're plugged into quality power. So the third layer of the body is the energy body. The first three, the physical, the mental and the energy body are physical in nature. They're just getting subtler but they're still physical in nature. The fifth layer of the body, which is referred to as a bliss body is totally non-physical. And the fourth, which is known as the etheric body, the nearest word we call this vijnamayakosha, the nearest word or the common word that is used is etheric, it doesn't describe that. This means it's a transitory nature, from physical to non-physical. What is being referred to as astral bodies, leaving the physical body, mental body, energy body and the bliss body intact and just allowing the etheric body to float around. That means you can conduct your activity here because your physical body, mental body, energy body is intact. But just allowing the etheric body to go, that's a certain kind of mastery. You can't just psych yourself into it. It needs enormous sadhana for a person to do that. Now, leaving the body when we say we are just allowing the pranic body to move out, which is much simpler. It is a much simpler thing to do and it is more concrete thing. Compared to etheric body, pranic body is physical. It's more physical kind of presence. It's energy, but it's a physical energy. Ethheric is a transitory energy. It is neither physical nor beyond, it is a transition. Bliss body is totally beyond the physical. So getting the pranic body out and putting it back is easy and it's a much stronger experience because a physical part of you goes out and gets back. Ethheric body needs much more sadhana because that is not even in your experience, it is not something that you can touch unless you are in a certain level of sadhana and intensity within yourself. But every street corner they are doing astral travel these days, that's just hallucination. See, these things were done for a certain purpose. It's called Parakaya Pravesha. There have been schools which have been fundamentally focused towards this in India. Simply for entertainment, it's not worth exploring those things because it takes enormous effort to get mastery over those things. And in the end what? But you achieve. It is of no spiritual consequence.


Hi everyone, Joe for JaspysCaseBreaks.com coming at you with 2019 Bowman Baseball Megabox Edition. One box, random team break number four. Now, at the end of this break, we're going to give away the transcendence spot. And that's going to be the original list right here. So let's copy that in a separate list and it'll be a new dice roll as well. But let's do the break first. Let's double up the names there. One spot gets you one of the baseball teams here. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Six and a one, seven times for each list. One, two, three, four, five, six, and a one, seven and final time. After seven times, John Samuelson down to Trevor. Seven times for the teams and seven and final time. After seven, we've got the Tigers all the way down to the Cardinals. All right, there you go. Yes, that is today, Harrison, whenever it sells out. But it will be today. All right, so it's got to sell out first. It could be today. There's all the teams right there. Should be today. All right, schedules in the chat, everybody. Always make sure to keep an eye on that. Let's print and rip. So as you can see in the schedule in the chat, we're going to do this, then transcendent. Then a quick little one box immaculate football break. And then we'll go through some more orders. And then we'll go from there. We break until 10 o'clock L.A. times tonight, ladies and gentlemen. So whatever breaks we can fill in and squeeze in by that time. So obviously longer breaks. We have to fill a little bit before the end of the show. But we've got plenty of time to fill more breaks and do more breaks. So get into it. All right, good luck. I guess we'll save one of those Wanderfrancos there. I like that guy. That guy's pretty good. All right, so that'll go to the Rays. Anthony. These are the special, uh, the five exclusive chrome cards in here. We got, I guess, all these should be sleeved up anyway. We got Michael Chavis for the Red Sox. SKS. Edward with the Marlins. That'll be for SKS. Kristen Stewart. Going to John Sammons and the Tigers. Travis with the Pirates. TJ Boeve. We've got Brent Honeywell for the Rays. That'll be for Anthony. We've got Julio Pablo Martinez, who's kind of a big name. Stephen Kay with that one. Carter Keeboom for Lee and the Nationals. Oh, we got an autograph in here. Nice. These aren't super common. We got Keegan Thompson. Your autograph for the Cubs. Anthony with that one. And Alex Kierlove right here for the Twins. And there you go. There you have it. Now, let's see who wins that spot. Remember, we're using the original 15 names. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Snake Eyes, two times. Name on top after two gets a spot in transcendent. One and two. Lee, congrats to you after two times. Lee gets a spot in transcendent, which is coming up next. I'm Joe for Jazzy's casebreaks.com. We'll see you for that one. Bye-bye.


Thank you all for coming. My name is Shannon Cohen. I'm a product manager at Pivotal working on Cloud Foundry. And I'm joined today with by Doug Davis from IBM, who's been working on Kubernetes. We also have some of the team with us here in the audience who has been contributing to the working group I'll describe now. Before I get to the meat of the presentation, I'd like to start with a couple of foundational concepts. Some of this may be review, and I appreciate your patience. I'd like to start with motivations. We know that application development teams require services, and these range from application dependencies to services which enable the entire application development lifecycle. We found that managed services enable application development teams to concentrate on their application code rather than operating these services, which can be very costly. We also know that self-service on-demand marketplace services increase developer velocity and minimize time to deliver value to market. As many of you are aware, Cloud Foundry has a marketplace of this kind. Each deployment of Cloud Foundry, in fact, has its own marketplace with admins adding services to the marketplace based on application developer demand. Admins have control of access to services and plans by organization, and can optionally allow developers to bring their own services to the marketplace. The marketplace provides a highly integrated self-service and on-demand application developer user experience. And over the years, a rich ecosystem of services, compatible services, has developed, enabled by a simple, well-documented API, which facilitates integration between the marketplace and service providers. The API, we call the service broker API. And as this is familiar to most of you, I'll briefly summarize it here. The service providers implement a few API endpoints for which Cloud Foundry is the client. And components that implement these endpoints we refer to as service brokers. Service brokers can be hosted anywhere. The platform can reach them and provide a catalog of services, plans, and user-facing metadata exposed in the Cloud Foundry marketplace. The real value of the broker API, though, is in abstracting service-specific lifecycle operations from the platform. Service brokers translate generic requests from the platform to service-specific ones for operations such as create, update, delete, and generate credentials. The platform also provides a service brokers can also offer many services and plans. And many service brokers can be registered with the marketplace so that the catalog of services available to users of Cloud Foundry is the aggregate of all services offered by all brokers. And the platform then provides a homogenous user experience for application developers managing these services. So this model has worked fairly well for quite a while, but we still have some goals. And those include increasing the choice of services offered to application developers in Cloud Foundry, enhancing the API to offer new service use cases to application developers, and increasing adoption of Cloud Foundry. We have found, however, that reaching out to service providers one by one is labor-intensive. And not surprisingly, we've seen that the adoption of compatible services or the availability of compatible services has grown as the popularity of Cloud Foundry has grown. So we've been thinking, how can we make the investment and integration in this API even more compelling? Last year, we heard that several open source communities were interested in adopting the service broker API to enable marketplaces that they were designing for their platforms. We had discussions with representatives from Kubernetes, OpenShift, Bluemix, and Google about how we could enable them to adopt the service broker API for these marketplaces they were designing, and how we could work together to enhance the API on an ongoing basis. Before I proceed, I'll address an obvious question. Many have viewed the Cloud Foundry Services Marketplace as a differentiator in an increasingly competitive market. But we believe, and some have asked why we would assist these platforms in enabling this feature. We believe that with more platforms supporting this broker API, it becomes more compelling for service providers to invest in implementing the integration. And ultimately, we expect the ecosystem of compatible services to grow and enable what really is our goal is increasing developer velocity through increasing choice of compatible services. So with that in mind, last year, the Cloud Foundry Foundation created the open service broker API project managed by a Cloud Foundry Foundation PMC project management committee. And the API spec that members of the PMC are represented by Fujitsu, Google, IBM, Pivotal, Red Hat, and SAP representing Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes and other platforms. The API spec itself for the broker API has been moved from a Cloud Foundry repo to a new GitHub organization for the project. And goals for this working group include evolving the API into a cross-platform community specification and increasing adoption by platforms and service providers to, again, ultimately increase choice available to application developers. So since then, the working group has been learning to work together. Some of us are new to creating standards. But fortunately, we have some members in our working group with a great amount of experience in this. We shared our respective priorities and fortunately found that the top priorities for our respective platforms overlapped. So there hasn't been a great deal of disagreement over priorities. Most of our work has been in gathering requirements and discussing use cases and design documents, arriving at solutions that we agree on to meet these use cases. And we're developing a release process that continues to require implementation of new features in a platform. Currently, that's been Cloud Foundry. But increasingly, that may be Kubernetes also, to validate the usability of API interactions. I'd like to give you a quick look into the road map for features that we have coming in upcoming versions of the spec. The first thing we identified was that there were a few Cloud Foundry-specific aspects to the API. Fortunately, there weren't that many. In particular, Cloud Foundry sends an Oregon Space ID and the provision request and Kubernetes and other platforms don't have a notion of those fields. So we're introducing a new field that will allow platforms to send a profile of information to brokers. And while we'll deprecate these current fields, we won't remove them as our charter is to make additive changes only in the next major version of the spec, whenever that may be, those will be removed. The biggest feature that we've been discussing recently is to meet the use case that app developers want a richer experience around management of service configuration options. Brokers currently may support arbitrary number of configuration options, but discovery of those is currently left out of band through documentation or otherwise. We've been designing a schema based on the JSON schema standard, which would enable broker authors to declare supported configuration options. And platforms would pass those through to platform user-facing clients so that those clients could offer the much richer user-facing interactions regarding these configuration options. We've also identified that there are now valid use cases for adding some get endpoints for instance and binding to allow retrieval of these configuration options and credentials. We imagine that these get endpoints could eventually be used for other aspects of instance and binding state. We've also heard that the specified mechanism for authorization and authentication in broker interactions of basic auth is both too prescriptive and undesirable in many environments. We intend to relax that constraint as well as identify a few popular mechanisms that we might identify ways to facilitate. In particular, we found that while we don't necessarily need to add anything to the spec about where your OAuth2 token server may be, we could standardize on the scopes that brokers and token servers and platforms use to authorize requests between platforms and brokers. We've heard that broker authors would like to know the identity of the originating end user and are thinking through how to facilitate that both for the purposes of authorization or billing, but also to enable broker authors to make calls into the platform on a user's behalf. Many brokers are offering persistent data services, but not all. And we're thinking through how we can enable broker authors to execute backup and restore operations. We have not yet decided yet whether those should be facilitated with first class endpoints on the API or whether we might consider a more generic mechanism to allow brokers to declare arbitrary supported actions. And finally, we mean to extend the asynchronous support to bind and unbind as some broker authors are making calls for those operations to asynchronous backend systems. With that, I'd like to invite Doug Davis from IBM to the stage to give us an update on Kubernetes Service Catalog project, which supports the service broker API. Thanks, Shane. Is volume OK? All right, thanks. As Shane had said, I'm Doug Davis from IBM. I've been lucky enough to actually work on Cloud Foundry in the past, then Docker, and now Kubernetes. So I'm really excited to be able to bring this aspect of Cloud Foundry to the Kubernetes community, along with other people in the community. So that's all great. Now I know that this is a Cloud Foundry audience, so if you're familiar with Kubernetes, forgive me for really, really oversimplifying it. But I wanted to at least give you a quick intro for those who don't know Kubernetes, what it's all about. At a very basic core level, you can think of Kubernetes as basically a database with a REST API in front of it. And that's basically it at its core. So what you're going to have is over here, I guess you can't see it. I'm sorry. So anyway, what you're going to have is the Kubernetes client talking to an API server, which talks to a database. And that's basically it in terms of the core functionality of how the user interacts with the system. It's an asynchronous model, meaning you put things into the database, and then the client basically gets returned back, for most cases. There are exceptions. Beyond that, though, what they have are the set of watchers or controllers who monitor basically the database and look for changes in there and then act upon those changes. So for example, if you ask for three instances of a particular application, but it only detects one, it'll bring up two more. So that's very much matching the desired state model that you see in Cloud Foundry as well. But the important thing here is that when you think about Kubernetes versus Cloud Foundry, Cloud Foundry tries to abstract these things away from the end user. Kubernetes tries to actually take the other approach. And for the most part, exposes the end user, if they choose to, to all the underlying system resources. And that's a very different model. And this is important because I'm going to start explaining some of the additional resources to you. So if you start playing with this in Kubernetes, I didn't want you to be surprised by seeing these things that are there in Cloud Foundry, but they're just hidden from you. But in Kubernetes, they will be exposed. The other key points to keep in mind when thinking about Cloud Foundry versus Docker is, I'm sorry, Cloud Foundry versus Kubernetes, is Kubernetes has an ocean of pods. While they do use containers, they allow you to group containers together into what they call pods because they realize in many cases you want to have multiple containers sort of sitting side by side on the same host working together. And that is sort of the small unit of deployment that they have. So to keep in mind, they have pods instead of containers. And lastly, in order to identify your application, they actually don't have the notion of application. What they have are labels that you can put on two pods. So when you want to take an action on your quote application, what you're really doing is saying, go find all the pods out there with this particular label and take this action for me. So it's important to think to know that the notion of application really doesn't exist inside Kubernetes for the most part. All right, so with that in mind, let's keep going. Now, so in order for Kubernetes to support Service Broker, we had to add some new resources to the data model. Now, for a variety of reasons, we decided not to extend the core Kubernetes model itself. It's actually an add-on feature, partially because we weren't 100% sure we wanted to pull into the core yet, but also they wanted to kind of use us as a guinea pig for some of the newer features that they're adding. And I'll talk about that in terms of how they allow people to extend the model.  But let's start talking about some of these core features. And for most part, these should be very similar to the ones you see inside Cloud Foundry. It's just some of these may not be exposed as first class citizens in Cloud Foundry, but they are there. So for example, you can, in Kubernetes, create a broker resource, which is nothing more than the metadata about where the broker lives, right? It's URL, user ID, and password. And then once this resource is created, typically by an admin in the Kubernetes model, a controller will detect it, and then under the covers, go off and talk to the broker, get the catalog, and then populate the Kubernetes resource model with that catalog, right? So once that catalog gets, or as the catalog gets created, what you're going to see are service classes appear. Now service class is the same thing as a, quote, service, other than the reason we had to use the word class on the end is because service itself was actually taken already by the Kubernetes model, and we didn't want confusion there. But these are created implicitly by the controller. End users don't create these. And within the service class itself, you'll have all the various plans that you guys should know about if you deal with services in Cloud Foundry. So then we also have an instance object. Now this actually is created by an end user. So when they want to provision an instance of, say, MongoDB, they'll go off and create an instance object inside the Kubernetes model. And that has basically the metadata necessary for the controller to notice it, go off and talk to the particular broker, come back with whatever information the broker's going to return and stick it back in that object. So this object is just sort of a metadata object more than anything else. It just registers the existence of the instance itself from the user's perspective that it wants it, and then the information from the broker itself about what it actually got created. And then finally we have the binding. So much in the same way Cloud Foundry links applications to service instances, that's what we have here inside of Kubernetes. The only major difference here is inside Kubernetes, the credentials are actually stored in a first class object called secrets. Think of it as nothing more than a key value store, but that is just encrypted. Now inside Kubernetes, though, you can take these secrets and bind them to your application or your pods in a variety of ways. So for example, you can take all the keys and have them appear as environment variables, or you can have them appear as a volume mount. That way you don't have to deal with the security potential problems around environment variables, but you can access them as a volume mount there. So there are some options there. And we make use of those, and I'll talk a little bit about that in a sec. Now everything I talked about here so far has talked about extending the model sort of outside the core. There is one feature that we did actually add to the core itself, and that's called the pod preset. Now pod preset allows you to define a resource, obviously called pod preset, which says look for any new pod that's getting created in the system. And based upon the labels you see in that pod, do something to it. In particular, it allows you to add environment variables to the pod, or it allows you to mount volumes in there. And hopefully you should be able to see this is going to be very important to us, because as we need to inject credentials from the binding into the pods for an application, we're going to make use of this itself. So while this resource was created because of the service catalog work, we made it generic enough so it could be used by other applications, or other uses of Kubernetes. It's not service catalog specific. Yep, I'll repention that. OK, so let's talk a little bit more about bindings, because I think this was sort of the piece of Kubernetes that might be slightly different from Cloud Foundry. And on the top right-hand corner of the screen, you can actually see a sample YAML file that describes a binding. But very much like the Cloud Foundry model, a binding is just a linkage between an application and the credentials itself. So in this particular case, what you're going to see in red is a pointer to the instance itself. So we're going to reference it by name. So previously we created that instance object. We gave it a name, in this case MongoDB1. And then inside this binding object, we're also going to create the pod preset template. And this is going to get used to actually create a real pod preset for the Kubernetes core system. In this particular case, I said, OK, find all pods that get created that have a label of app with a value of my app. And so as new pods get created in the system, they will get the secrets from that instance that we're bound to ejected into their pods as we go along. Now, a lot of the stuff that I'm talking about here is kind of an alpha stage. So as of right now, all of the secret information, in other words, all the keys, will get added as separate environment variables automatically. We are going to work on adding support for doing bind mounts and stuff like that.  But I did want to mention that at least the basics of it is there. They all appear as environment variables. But at the most part, you should see that this is actually very similar to what you see in Cloud Foundry. You create an instance. You create a binding. Things magically appear inside your application as environment variables, or as a single environment variable in the Cloud Foundry case. Here's a set of environment variables in the Kubernetes case, very similar concepts. And that's one of the key things I think that's important in all this work is, while the underlying implementation is slightly different from Kubernetes versus Cloud Foundry, the way the user sees it is very, very similar, different syntax in some cases, but the concepts are the same. And I think that's a very important concept going forward here. And it's that level of consistency and pseudo interoperability I think is going to be very great for the users in terms of giving them choice, in terms of what platform they want to use, because they get similar experiences. So one of the other things that we experienced here is because the model we added to wasn't part of the core, we had to basically create our own little API server.   But that's not a great user experience from the client's perspective, that they have to talk to two different API servers just to get their job done. So Kubernetes has been working on this thing called API aggregator, which basically is kind of like a proxy in front of multiple API servers. And so in our case, what we're going to do is tell people to install this as the normal API server on the left-hand side of the picture there. That's the core API server. But then put in front of it an API aggregator, which says, OK, if you see a request that talks about service catalog types of resources routed over to the service broker API server, which is running outside the core and gets your job done. Now, the API server for the service broker may still talk back to the core to the database over there to get its job done, for example, talking to secrets and stuff like that. But from the end user perspective, they see a single endpoint and a single user experience.  So we took a lot of arrows and pulled out a lot of hair trying to get it all to work. And the same thing for staying up a brand new API server. For those of you who are familiar with Kubernetes, some of the things in there are not necessarily easiest things in the world to deal with. And we took a lot of hits trying to get all this stuff working and ironed out a lot of the bugs, because we were really the first ones to use some of these things. So that was actually good for the community at large, because we helped enhance the documentation and the experience for using these things. All right, so for those of you who are familiar with Kubernetes, there is a command line, kubectl. And basically, you act on resources, as I said. So you could do a kubectl create, update, delete, and you pass in a YAML file describing the resource. So here's some examples of it right there. Now, we are planning on doing some plugins to the kubectl command line to make the user experience a little more user-friendly. And that's what you see down at the bottom. And those should look very familiar to you when you look at the Cloud Foundry command line. So it's a very similar thing. You want to create an instance. You give the service class name, the plan name, what Kubernetes name space you want it to be visible into, and then the instance name. So very similar to Cloud Foundry. And under the covers, these will create the YAML files appropriately and then basically the equivalent of the kubectl create commands for you. So we're trying to copy Cloud Foundry's wonderful user experience here on the Kubernetes side. So kudos to them, because they did a great job. So in terms of status, we have a special interest group and an incubator project, both called Service Catalog. We are planning on being fully service broker API compliant going forward. We have IBM, Red Hat, and Google are very involved, obviously, in both organizations. So they've got great synergy between the two. And as I said, a lot of the stuff we have right now is in alpha form. We are very, very close to beta. And that's very important from a Kubernetes perspective. Because from a Kubernetes perspective, beta means from an end user, you can assume that the APIs will be stable going forward. So you can start playing with it and be assured that we're not going to break you going forward. We may add new things, but you should be backwards compatible. And that's going to be a huge milestone for us. And I think we're less than about a week or two away from that. So at that point, I would feel comfortable telling people to really start playing with it and hammering it and let us know what you guys think. And finally, just some links for you guys to get involved. The top set are for the open source broker API itself. We have a web page, GitHub repo, obviously the Cloud Foundry link there, and then a link to the Service Catalog GitHub repo for Kubernetes. And I believe that's it. Oh, we have office hours tomorrow in the collaboration station from 12.50 to 1.20. Shannon and I would be there answering questions. And we do have some funny stickers. Funny because they're incredibly small. I've never seen stickers quite this small before. But that's it. So, Max, how much time do we have? Oh, we have a whole four minutes for questions. We made it. I was afraid we were out of time. So Shannon, you want to come up in case we have questions? Oh, you need to steal mine? Yeah, there you go. OK, cool. That's loud. Any questions from the audience? Ah, perfect. So remember, mention your name and association so that we know who you're holding. Yes, Luis Amadeo from Ultimate Software. So is the intention for service brokers to be shareable between Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes once they support the same API? Yeah, by and large, that's the goal. The goal would be that a service provider who wants to offer a service in the marketplace of either platform would only need to write one implementation in support of the broker API endpoints. And that broker should be able to register that broker with both platforms. Great. Thank you. Yeah, the only thing I would add is one of the biggest things, aside from just the coolness factor of that, is imagine then a user can then choose, well, maybe today I want my application deployed on Cloud Foundry, maybe tomorrow I want on Kubernetes or vice versa, they should be able to get a similar user experience to use these services. And that's a wonderfully interoperability statement to me. I think that's really going to be cool going forward. Any other questions? I guess we'll follow up to this. Does it mean that there will be one service instance that is shared between, say, my deployment on both, or will I create two service instances? That's a harder problem. But I've heard that Bluemix enables this to some extent. Yeah. I was going to say that's basically an implementation detail. Being IBMers, we know Bluemix actually does support this today. You can create a service instance for, say, your Cloud Foundry stuff and get access to it from a Docker container or Kubernetes pods and stuff. And so it is going to be possible to do that kind of stuff, but it's going to be an implementation detail of the platform that supports multiple things. Now, you know, Pivotal supporting Cloud Foundry, IBM possibly supporting Kubernetes, where they can share instances between two completely disjoint platforms, that's going to be much harder and probably not any time in the future. But within one platform, I would expect you to, yes. OK, cool. Any other questions? Wow, yes, we're stopping you from lunch. Thank you, Shannon and Doug. Enjoy lunch.


A couple of observations, I think some absolutely spectacular profiles, some not so good and I think one of the things that I have noticed is that there are so many more entries from digital agencies. So a lot of the under 30 people seem to prefer to be in digital agencies. One of the things is it's very important for them to know that in a short span they need to land a lot about themselves and that I think is a challenge but it's also quite telling because when somebody does that well it just stands out.


And that's why you notice that sometimes our brothers in other schools tell us you the Shi'a of Muhammad do not pray your prayers properly. We say to them why? They say because Salah, the Quran says that Salah has been put at times you have to separate your Salah, you Shi'a combine your Salah. We reply by saying number one there isn't a single verse in the Quran which says there are five times which you pray in the day. There are three periods which you pray in the Quran. Three periods, what are they? Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Aqim al-Salatah. Lijlouk al-Shams. Ilaha ghasaq al-layl. Wa Quran al-Fajr. You have the idea of sun reset and you have the idea of what? Of Zuhr and the idea of Fajr. Three periods. Likewise you find Rasulullah, some people ask did Rasulullah pray Fajr? Zuhr, then Asr later, then Maghrib later, then Asha later? No, Rasulullah there were times he combined and there were times he separated. There is no harm combining, there's no harm separating but notice with our brothers in other schools in Islam. Notice with them. They took the harder option, we took the easier option. Isn't that true? Isn't that true? Okay. They took the harder option of praying five completely separate. We took the easier option. But Masha'Allah look at the way they look after their five and look at the way we look after our three. Sometimes with us, Allah when he's giving us the option of Zuhr, Rasul combination we still pray it late whereas our brothers pray Zuhr on time and Asr on time. When you see our brothers and they say that Salah is the highlight of their day they are giving you a concept that while our Salah revolves around our day their day revolves around their Salah. Difference in mentality. Our Salah revolves around our day. What does that mean? That means if I've got a job, if I've got a meeting, at 1.30 Salah can wait till 2.30. With them if I have a meeting at 1.30 I'll postpone it because Salah comes first.


I think some guys came off the bench and brought a lot of energy, you know, Alize came in, brought a lot of energy, cheese, TLC, basically everybody off that second unit came in and gave us a huge boost. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News. Joe, how do you guys deal with just all the guys that are down or in and out of rotation or is there nothing that you can do about it and you just have to chalk it up to the injury bug and keep it pushing? Yeah, I mean you control what you can control and you know it's unfortunate, you hate to see guys go down especially with injuries, but it's next man up mentality and it provides opportunity for guys that maybe otherwise wouldn't have one. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hey Joe, I'm curious, obviously you mentioned you never want to see anybody go down, did you get a chance to talk to James and did you get the sense this is essentially what happened to him the last time? Yeah, we talked to him briefly half time and then after the game, just to make sure he keeps his spirits up. It's always tough when you get hurt, especially James is the ultimate competitor and so I think it hurts him more to just not be out there competing with his teammates more than anything else. Tom Dowd with brooklynets.com. Hey Joe, you know Jeff Greenhouse third straight 20 point game, but it's kind of been whatever you guys need him to be as the season has gone on, you know, what's his impact been for you guys?   And then when we need him, you know, to come up for us offensively, you know, he typically does and he has been a huge boost for us here lately and just, you know, he does all the little stuff on top of it though too, which, you know, is winning basketball at the end of the day.


Parents pose in front of the camera with newborn triplets, but look closer at the baby's faces. You might think we have come a long way as a society, but even today we still see racism and prejudice on a daily basis. Although most of us think that it's up to the individuals to choose who their family is, many people have views on how a family should look. Erin and Rachel Halbert know this all too well. Despite the harsh comments and hate for adopting African American children, the couple have stood their ground. They did not want to let anything as superficial as skin colors stand in the way, but their story didn't stop there. Erin and Rachel Halbert had long dreamed of becoming parents, but after having trouble conceiving, they instead opted to adopt two children, a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, that decision provoked some strong reactions, simply because the children were dark-skinned. We knew, especially in the South, that a white couple with non-white children would draw a myriad of different reactions.  But Erin and Rachel were thrilled and proud of their little family. When the couple heard of embryo adoption, they knew it was perfect for them. Rachel implanted two African American embryos, which had been frozen for over 15 years. The couple wanted the new babies to match their already existing siblings. They agreed with our thoughts about our kids matching each other racially and were supportive of the decision to select African American embryos. Erin writes, After six weeks, it was time to visit the doctor, who lived in Honduras, to receive their tiny embryos, and when they arrived, the couple was met with a completely different surprise. We began to describe everything to our doctor in Spanish, broken Spanish that is. He asked us a few times if we were sure that we had transferred to embryos. Yes, of course we were sure, we said. The couple then discovered to their shock that one of those embryos had split in two inside Rachel's womb. She was indeed pregnant not only with twins, but triplets. The birth went smoothly and soon Erin and Rachel were parents to not two, but five dark-skinned, beautiful young children. It's been heartwarming to see virtually all of our friends and family express overwhelming support for our family and the unusual ways we've built it. In our minds, we are just living out our dream. A dream that may not look like the average family, but one that we are thankful could come true in light of our country's history, says Erin.   Aren't they just adorable? I can't remember a friend going through the adoption process telling me he had always wanted his family to look like a little United Nations. As I look at my growing family, I prefer to take it a step further, daring to hope that our family picture is a little hint of heaven. Love for your children is more important than DNA, blood, and skin color.

Oh Whoa the former number one and number two overall picks in the same draft that Lamar Jackson was selected in We'll both have huge contracts coming up partaking in physical activity with kids at a camp Even one of them coming off a significant injury, but I didn't hear any uproar. It's kind of weird You see my boy YouTube team keep it clean what's going on is saying Raven here with another video and another episode of questions from subs Which is a series where you can ask me any question about the NFL that you want to and we answer it in a video Just like this if you want to be part of NFL questions from subs You can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com or for the patrons. You can send it directly on Patreon we got some great questions as we always do shout out to all the team keep it clean patron shout out to y'all Thank you for 43,000 subscribers There are literally 43,000 people in this world who are psycho enough to press the subscribe button on this channel So I appreciate you and all your psychonus if that's even a word or all your craziness. That's a word But I do love y'all I appreciate y'all team keep it clean. It's almost time for the season It's almost time for the season so things have been crazy non-stop in the off-season. So trust me It's gonna get even better Once that season hits but until then man, let's keep on pushing. Let's keep on going and I hope that everybody is doing good I love y'all. Let's get into these questions. First question came from my guy Lee. He said engraving. What's up, brother? What's going on Lee? He said something I wanted to get your opinion on during the NBA Finals, which I watched I watched I watched One and a half of the finals game because I did watch the game last night I watched the entire game which I loved and I appreciated I was rooting for the Bucks I was hoping that they will win because with Giannis He reminds me so much of Lamar Jackson and his story his situation and I tweeted about it, too They it's like the same thing. They people complain about their play style people always got something to say about them people call them chokers in the playoffs and they just Giannis got it done. He shut it all down So I'm hoping that with Lamar Jackson can be a similar type of story But anyway, he said During the NBA Finals, I was rooting like crazy for Giannis to win that ring Reason being is that every time I think of his game. I see Lamar. No NBA superstar gets more hate than Giannis Well, there's LeBron. So but I feel what you're saying All we ever hear is what he can't do all the limitations. He has etc etc. Well He just won the chip like Giannis all we hear about Lamar is about his shortcomings and what he can't do Then hit then his strengths My thought is if Giannis can win a championship without being the perfect superstar Lamar Jackson can certainly win it as well. What are your thoughts? Oh for sure for sure like for sure and I really do hope This year would be a great time to do it Again because you look at what Giannis just did his his whole story where he came from how he is again Like it with Giannis. I remember like two days ago Twitter was just going crazy with it's just like people were just reaching for stuff with Giannis They're like, oh man, this is why a lot of NBA players aren't friends with him. It's like what? Come on, man. It's like they were just nitpicking and trying to find any little thing about Giannis Or Giannis not Giannis Giannis. I'm over here saying Giannis like anyway And it's just it's sad man. It said then you had some NBA players chiming in too But it is what it is. I'm glad he won. I'm glad they won It was looking like I remember watching that uh that nets and bucks game the one that went to overtime Who that was a crazy game? I remember watching that game and thinking oh, oh like, okay This like this team is real deal And they they went ahead of course went ahead and won that series And they made it they made it. I thought nets were gonna win that game Why once it went to overtime? I thought nets were gonna get it But nope bucks and all we got this way.  And it's because they're different Giannis Lamar our next question came from my guy more and he said a engraving hope all this well Oh, you brought up a great point and one that I have always thought about it's finally nice to finally meet Someone that thinks the same way and that is about Matthew Stafford Why are people always doubting Lamar? But you hear nothing but good things about Matthew Stafford In 12 seasons, he's only had four winning seasons Lamar already has three after giving it a lot of thought I think I finally found the answer Experts reporters youtubers Twitter people whoever they all know if they hero criticism at Matthew Stafford the way they do Lamar Nobody would care With Lamar you will have every hater and supporter of Lamar reading or watching what you're saying just by saying the name Lamar Jackson That'll have people arguing one way or the other So talking about Stafford doesn't get them the attention that Lamar Jackson would that's why nobody bothers with Matthew Stafford You watch when Josh Allen regresses next year during the following offseason when there's nothing to talk about You will see articles left and right on how he's not as good as everyone thinks He is and he's just a runner without Stefan dig Sorry, I know I got sidetracked between the comparison of Lamar Matthew Stafford But my point is that people only talk about what gets views Lamar and Allen get views and clicks Stafford doesn't sorry for the long question, but maybe this is more of a get it off your chest Well, yeah, you got it off your chest, but no, it's all good. I think that um the reason that it is is because Stafford is more of a traditional guy He's more of a traditional quarterback, but he's also a traditional quarterback that loses Just loses Matt Stafford has not he's got these nice stats and everything But Matt Stafford has not in his entirety of his NFL career. He has not had half The impact that Lamar Jackson has had on the NFL He has not had half of the impact So when you talk about Matthew Stafford You yeah, but 5000 yard seasons or 24,000 yard seasons bunch of passing yards that are and he's not a bad quarterback It's just a losing quarterback But Lamar Jackson 4000-yard passing seasons. No 5000-yard passing seasons. No But touchdowns up in the sections down the wins the most important thing all the way up And again, like we said previously Lamar is different. He does not play quarterback the traditional way He does not play it like everybody wants him to play it so People don't like that people talk about it, but again, like you mentioned that he has success Since Lamar Jackson has success and Stafford doesn't what's talking about staff are gonna do What was that gonna? What point is that gonna make? It's not but Lamar. Yeah, he He changed the game He changed the media Well, actually he didn't change the media because the media you know media just they just be saying stuff just to say it but Stafford just He's not it. It's cool. Again, not bad, but He ain't Lamar. Next question came from a guy Raven Pride. He said what's going on in Graven? Hope you and the family are in good health and I definitely can't forget about pookie I just want to share what has been going on with me in the past two weeks as you know I'm a truck driver Well, I just recently purchased my first truck and I'm on cloud nine Oh, congrats on that because I know I know a few truck drivers and that is a huge step For truck drivers because as a truck driver initially you start off by driving for a company So you drive for somebody? Because they have their own trucks and they have contractor or whatever company, but they it's under them But when you get your own truck like that's like that's huge because That is the stepping stone to doing your own thing running your own show. So congrats on that because that's a big move Man, he said I waited for this moment for a long time and I'm so excited to for myself And I wanted to also share this with team keep it clean. Okay. Hey, we appreciate that man I'm happy for you. You said before I go I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for all of what you do And you can definitely count on me to be forever grateful being part of the team keep it clean family Hey, appreciate that man. I appreciate it and PS I can't forget what a wonderful job your aunt did for myself and my family with the mask Love you bro and God bless. Hey, appreciate that man. Thank you for um For even having given my aunt the opportunity to make the man's for your family So I appreciate that a lot. Thank you for for supporting not only us, but for supporting my family as well Next question came from my god Dominic s. He said amen. Hope everything is well Just thinking about how good our offense can be this year with the addition of new wire deceivers linemen and coaches Things go very well I think we can be at the top of the league again in points per game and wonder who should it be attributed to Do you think more change would be because Greg Roman listened or because of the concepts that Martin comes up with? Well, it would definitely be a combination of both It couldn't just be one or the other it would have to be a combination of everything So we wouldn't just be able to give the credit. Okay, Greg Roman or even though Greg Roman He's already been doing his thing as an offensive coordinator despite how frustrated we get sometimes That the offense still does score a lot of points now in playoffs We just we want that to translate in the playoffs as well But that's a whole another conversation But the um, it will be a combination of everybody because with football it's not just it can never just be one person It can't it's impossible. It just doesn't work that way. So it'll be a combination of Everybody and his next question. He says so I've been thinking about the future of this team Especially on defense our three interior defensive linemen Williams, Wolf and Campbell are all up there in age. So this tells me we would have we could have a very young defense in the upcoming seasons My question is do you think the Ravens could make another veteran move on the defense for in the future? Or would you be okay with having the young guns in there? As always, you know, they invest in the defense Well, they certainly do but it's really not necessarily too early to think about that but Ravens they will Certainly take care of that Colleas came buffing. This is his last season Derek Wolf, what did he sign? I think a two-year deal, but that doesn't really mean anything. Y'all know how it goes nowadays Most players don't even finish out their deals And then Brandon Williams, you know, his name every year comes up as a possible cap casualty But I really do think that Brandon Williams. This could be it for him. So hopefully they go out on top but anyway The Ravens they got they're gonna take care of it. There's the draft. There's free agency So they'll they'll have plenty of options for what they can do with the interior of their defensive line So it's kind of it's very early to tell that right now It's it's really hard to say what you think they're gonna do or what I think they're gonna do because we haven't even gotten to this season yet But you do of course have Matt a BK right now. You got Broderick Washington waiting in the wings You got Jaylen Ferguson So we got to see what happens with those guys before we transition from the old guys And of course, we got to get through this season as well. And then his last question He said, do you think if things are going good? But not great midway through that the Ravens would make the move to fire Greg Roman We know how he does in big games and playoffs and diverts from what is actually working He has a lot of tendencies and play calling on crucial downs that just don't make sense I think the longer they hold on to him the more they are really holding the offense back Just think about all the talent we had that didn't get used all the guy needs is an opportunity. What do you think? Um, it it just every everything just depends on so much man it depends on so much with Greg Roman and It it just it just depends man because if the offense say if they winning and the offense is doing Even if they doing good not great Greg Roman is gonna stay for him to be fired is even midseason I think the offense would just have to be atrocious There would have to be some terrible decisions being made like consistently Gaming and game out for Greg Roman to be Put up out of here. Um, so Hopefully he doesn't get fired because that would mean that the offense is doing a good job So hopefully Greg Roman does not get fired next question came from a boy Adrian He said a great initial boy Adrian PFS strikes again My question is why do they really believe Baker Mayfield is a top 10 quarterback for one and two? Why do they feel they need to keep putting Lamar Jackson underneath subpar quarterbacks like that press Scott and Matt Ryan? Who hasn't been talked about in like five years? Thanks for taking the time to answer my question and keep putting out great videos I'm a huge fan of the Ravens flock appreciate you Adrian I Think that with Baker Baker's not but he's not a bad quarterback that press got is not a bad quarterback Matt Ryan He's not a bad quarterback um But with those guys, I think again, it's just the traditional thing That's my biggest thing is it's the traditional thing that those guys are more traditional type quarterbacks all of them all of them They play the game or more in a more normal way with more normal offense And they get the they get the bigger passing yards It doesn't necessarily mean they have the better games But they get the bigger passing yards and a lot of people tend to get caught up in Passing yards as if that is the end all be all and that really determines Who and what a quarterback is and that determines that quarterback success. We all know that it doesn't But and again with these lists I think so sometimes I just think some of these lists are just straight up to troll And just to get us through the slowest part of the the slow season Which was a couple of weeks ago and it's fun again, you know, I love going over the list But I think these people as much as I love going over the list I think these people love making those lists to try to troll people and get them worked up and get them upset Just so they can have just a little more something to talk about during the offseason


Excellencies, Distinguished Consulor, Secretary-General Mr. Yulin Zhao, Deputy Secretary-General Mr. Malcolm Johnson, Directors of the Bureaus, Mr. François Rancy, Mr. Chesou Blis and Mr. Baimassanou. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2017 session of the ITU Council. At first, I would like to thank the 48 Consulors who elect me and Vice-Chair Mr. Ashidi Ismailov from Russian Federation. We will work to respond to your trust. We are at the eve of the 2018 Plenipotentiary Conference in an important moment of transition in which to make an assessment on the results achieved and to shape the activities for the coming years. The great spirit of collaboration between ITU memberships is the tool that can allow to meet all of our goals. Last year, with international collaboration, WTSA-16 achieved a range of targets and did show the strategic direction and structure to support the development of the trusted ICT infrastructure essential to the success of 5G systems, the Internet of Things as smart sustainable cities. We are all grateful to the government of Tunisia and the chair of WTSA-16, Mr. Mokhtar Munakri, for the success of that assembly. I hope that the same spirit will be the base for the success of the next World Telecommunication Development Conference to be held later this year in Buenos Aires for expected outcomes related to ICT for sustainable development goals and to set the priorities for the development sector. In this council meeting, we will make decisions on meaningful issues. Fundamental for the correct performing of the activities of the union will be the adoption of the draft biennial budget of the union for 2018-2019 with consequent resource allocation to the strategic goals and objectives of the union and the ITU operational plan for the next four years. We will also hear about the progress towards the Connect 2020 global telecommunication ICT targets and the status of the implementation of the agenda in view of the 2018 pre-potential conference in order to strategically analyze where connectivity efforts should be focused and prepare for the elaboration of the targets for the next strategic plan of the union.


You need a side hustle What's up money geeks mr. V here welcome to another video guys so in the past I did a video about how to make money with your laptop I'm gonna hook that video up here. You can definitely go check it out. The video is doing great I'm getting a ton of questions from people watching that video. They're asking like hey Do you talked about making money with your laptop? What if I'm not really good with computers? What do I don't like sitting on my computer? What if I don't want to do anything online? What are some of the other ways that I can actually make money doing a side hustle? And so I'm like, okay, let's see what we can come up with so Into this video. We're just gonna talk about other ways that you can actually make money on the side Not necessarily from an online perspective. I know people again, they're pushing towards Heading in the online the digital space But there's still services that you can do with your hands You can do in person that would give you good money and not requiring a lot of overhead first one I would come into no mine would be hey do Uber do lift and stuff like that But doing those you still have to dedicate a certain amount of time And leave your house and drive around maybe for hours before you can actually really make some good money It's still a side hustle, but it's a hectic side hustle So I want to give you a side hustle that is really simple and you do it from the comfort of your house The only time you leave your house is to maybe go out and talk to a client or do some installation and come back and The side also that I'm gonna give you guys today is called decal business. What's decal?   I'm a proud workout person I'm a proud parent of her honor student.  You would see hey, these are Operating hours, you know from eight to five or whatever in like some white Decal on the windows. Those are the businesses that you can actually Know get as clients if you start a decal business. What does it take to start a decal business? The main investment here is a vinyl cutting machine So the machine that would actually cut those designs that you would ever to put on the window on on the bumper sticker for a car That's the machine you need and you can spend at least a hundred bucks to get a really good cricket machine in the description I'm gonna put a link to some of the machines that you can actually buy and if you even look online Go on Craigslist you can find vinyl cutting machines for like 50 bucks to get you started And that's pretty much the overhead that you start with So if you can go out and talk to the businesses in your neighborhood and tell my hey if you're looking for decal I'm here. I can get it done for you All they have to do is give you a design that they want you cut it out We did put in a transfer paper and bring it and install it and you pay and you charge them for installation If you just want your sign you give them they can install it themselves If they want you to install it they charge for installation So that's like double profit, but the margins are Extremely gutless so you can buy a roll of vinyl for like 30 bucks and you know, it takes you maybe 20 30 minutes to You know cut it and weed it and put it there and you can go you get a project out You can charge maybe $200 to like do everything and install it the best way to actually see if your price or competitive Is to go around your neighborhood go to these businesses and as I'm like hey how much did you pay for something like this and then see if you can make it competitive and The fact that you're doing it in the comfort of your house You're not paying any overhead you can give them a better deal and that is one of the businesses that I mean I do it. I have a vinyl cutter machine It's really really good You make good money doing it as long as you can market that service and like I said You have friends and families and and co-workers that have bumper stickers have have their own businesses And they want to put signs on their cars and you're driving down the road. You probably see something like Mary's Flower shop, you know with the phone number there or the website Those are businesses that you can actually earn as a small business in your neighborhood And you don't have to be in the online space to be able to succeed in that kind of a business So studying a decal business is one of the best lucrative business that you can start this year and Continue to expand on it and once you have your vinyl cutter The next step that you can do to grow that business is for you to get a heat press and then from there Use that the wind stuff like t-shirt like what I'm wearing right now. This is a t-shirt that I made it takes about Maybe four dollars to get this whole t-shirt and I'll sell it for 20 bucks or 25 bucks depending on who you're selling to And so imagine that you spend four or five dollars and you sell this for 20 bucks And you can make at least 10 shirts a week or if you make 10 20 30 shirts a week That is some ridiculous amount of profit that you cannot even imagine So I'm happy that people are asking this question because the online space is not meant for everybody so if that's not for you start your decal business and Proceed and even expand it into a t-shirt business and that's what I've done It's a I'm not just telling you guys these because of something I read it's something. I've actually done. I've implemented it I have an active business going on and that's what I wanted to share with you guys You can start it today if you do have any questions about Know what you need and all this stuff again I'm gonna put a link in the description below of some of the key things that you need to get started with your decal business if you're interested in definitely Reach out to me Maybe in the comment section or you can send me an email and we can connect and I'll help you get started So question of the day what are some of the side horses that you want to do you think it's so hard to get started with? Let me know in the comment section. Let the conversation continue below like share Subscribe and as always Stay motivated


This time we're going to be looking at the data memory and we're going to be interested in what happens when bit zero of the address is stuck at zero or stuck at one. So this is the least significant bit in our address and that determines which piece of data we would potentially read or write from memory. If this bit is stuck at zero then I won't be able to access any of the odd numbered bytes of memory directly. I could still get them indirectly by pulling in say four bytes at a time or two bytes at a time. As we've built our architecture so far we haven't even considered load byte or store byte instructions so this wouldn't even be a concern for us. We'd never be interested in accessing an odd numbered byte directly. If we did have a load byte instruction then this might potentially be a problem. If we are interested in grabbing an odd numbered bit then we'd have to find some way to work around that. Instead of having a load byte instruction I could have a load half instruction instead and then just shift the lower half of my data out of the register. A store byte would be more troublesome because I would have to pull the data out of memory using a load half instruction, edit that register and then store the resulting half back into memory. So that would be a multi-step process and it would be cumbersome but that would still be workable. If this bit is stuck at one though I'll only be able to access the odd numbered bytes directly. This would be a problem if I want to do a load half or a load word since both of those instructions expect that I will give them an even numbered address. The load word expects an address that's a multiple of four so that has an even stricter constraint on it. In this case our data memory would probably just reject all of those. It would keep telling us that these are not word aligned addresses or half aligned addresses and it would throw exceptions. In this case there's not a good way to work around this. The full MIPS architecture however does provide some instructions that allow you to access non word aligned blocks of memory so you could still pull out four bytes of memory even if they're not word aligned. So there would be the option to switch to non-aligned accesses and doing some shifting the way we did when we were looking at the stuck at zero byte but otherwise we're out of luck. There isn't a good way to replace this type of instruction with another one because the hardware is going to catch this as an error.
