So today we will be discussing a place of hope and help, YOLO Crisis Nursery. With me here today is Joellen Welch, the vice president, and Mikayla Leach, the marketing director. Hi. Hi, Rachel. Hi. Thank you so much for being here today. Well, thanks for having us. Yeah, of course. So what is YOLO Crisis Nursery, and how did it get started, and when did this come about? Well, there was a social worker back in early 2000 named Laura Hynes, and she had, as a part of her job, she helped children in the foster system. And so a young man that she had been working with, or young boy since he was four, approached her one day and said, you know, what about my mom? Why hasn't anything been done to help my mom? And so you could just picture maybe a light bulb going off, and that was the seed for the start of the YOLO Crisis Nursery. So in 2001 we came into existence, and it's been through some ups and downs times in 2014 there were certain challenges that had nothing directly to do with the nursery, and so we became our own nonprofit corporation. And it's pretty exciting because that first Board of Directors, there were five. We now have 14. Oh, wow. There's a phrase that's used commonly around the board table where, at that point in time, because we were just trying to keep the lights on, we refer to it as building the plane as we're flying it. And today we feel as if we've gotten to the place where we've built that plane, and we're looking to, at ways we can serve more families and children. So what exactly do you guys do? Do you guys take, like what ages of kids do you guys take and are this happening overnight? Is it at daycare? What are exactly the programs that are in place for these children? Fill in if I forget anything. So we serve children zero to five, and their families. And the mission of the YOLO Crisis Nursery is keeping kids safe and preserving families. That is what we do. And so there are actually only four Crisis Nurseries in all of California. Pretty astounding, isn't it? There's two in Sacramento County, one in Nevada County, and ours here in YOLO County. And so you can imagine that it's a very necessary thing that we do. And so we have many programs that we offer. And I guess what I'd like to do if I could is maybe tell a story about one of the families that we've helped, and that will give you, and we can get into specifics if you want to. But one of the stories that I remember most is of a young mother who had a day's old infant and a three-year-old. And she recognized that she needed some help. And in the middle of the night, she ended up on the doorstep of YOLO Crisis Nursery. And because our team is trauma-informed, which is what makes us unique from the other Crisis Nurseries, they knew immediately that the infant was in distress and needed more help than what we could provide the infant. And so rushed the child to the hospital. And literally this baby was within hours, probably, of not being alive anymore. And it's because of this intervention, because of YOLO Crisis Nursery staff recognizing this and acting on it and knowing what to do. And so as a part of what we do, also, it doesn't stop there. So it's obvious the mom needed some help. And so, and temporary respite. And so the children were placed into the foster care while the mother received support and services to help her with her parenting skills. And because our goal is to keep that family unit together, they may have to spend some time apart. But ultimately, the goal is to have them back together, and they are. She went through all of the services that we provided, and the children were safe. And it all has a happy ending, which is what we're all about. Yeah, happy endings. I like the happy endings. It's amazing that you guys are taking it far beyond just the children. These services are for parents too, which is a spectacular one. It's about just keeping that family close knit, so everyone's together. That's the wrap around part. And for me, what I conjure up when I hear wrap around is just a big hug. And so that's what we're doing. We're hugging not just the children, but the families. That is crucial to us, absolutely. And if I can just jump in too, the critical part about these wraparound services is it's breaking the cycle. A lot of the people who we see and the families who we see, this has been a generational parenting and family issue. And the goal here is to help break the cycle where we're helping to build stronger families and stronger children, so that it's not only just bettering a family or a child's life, but it's improving our community overall. And that's supported statistically. There are studies out there about early intervention services for children specifically between zero and five, and how helping them, providing them and the family services downstream or upstream will help them downstream. And it ends up perhaps stopping that cycle. And for those people who think of it in a fiscal sense for these children and families to go without help, they continue at risk. And they're more likely than not going to be later, problems that end up being a burden to, I guess we'd say, taxpayers. And so there's this fiscal part, which isn't our concern. We're concerned about the kids. But I know that there are other people out there who pay attention to those sorts of things. Yeah, definitely. Around how many families do you guys serve, years, or like a rough estimate? Well, last year, our last fiscal year, which runs June 30th to July 1st, so we're just about to close up this year, we helped 321 families. That is almost a new family every day, which is remarkable thinking that these caseworkers and our nursery staff and team can handle so many children because there are families with multiple children in there. So just an astounding figure and such a tribute to our Executive Director Heather and her team, they do a phenomenal job. But yes, 321 families in Yolo County. And unfortunately, we're not able to get to all the children. The problem in Yolo County and California is really large. The CDC estimates that one in four children will experience abuse or neglect in their lifetime. And California has some of the highest rates in the country. And Yolo County also has high rates within the state for abuse and neglect. So the problem's real here. There's a lot of need and we're just hoping that we can continue our growth by double digits every year to try and help as many children and families as we can. And sort of piggybacking on this, it's absolutely Heather will report occasionally that they're at capacity, but that doesn't mean that she turns people away. Not on Heather's watch. Not on her watch. I'm telling you that Heather, if there's any term that applies to Heather, it will figure it out. I saw you guys also do care packages and things like that. Could you speak a little bit about that or different other services that you guys? Well we not only, we rely obviously on monetary donations in order to pay our electric bills and keep the caregivers exactly and we do have volunteers. But then we also receive donations, new and gently used clothing items for children in this age and also toys and diapers. One of our formulas. Yes. All of the above. Anything that can be used to help and we put those care packages together. Right. And a parent in need can just call and say this is what I need and you'll see them there, you know, stacked up by the door ready to go with people's names on them. It's no questions asked. There's no forms to be filled out. It is easy for the parents to get what they need to care for their children. And it's of course free of charge. That is amazing. So are the main goals for the children, do you feel like that there's a big impact when they leave that they know that they feel safer and they feel better in their homes and things like that? I know that they do. And one of the ways that I know this is actually one of our newest programs. It's called ABC. Let me get if I get this correct. I have to get my ABC, attachment and bio behavioral catch up is what it's referred to, which is sort of a fancy way of saying that children who sort of are at a higher risk for behavior and emotional problems express themselves differently. And so this with this program, our staff goes into the family home and actually works with the family and they are allowed. It's it's 10 sessions which are videotaped. And it's all about positive feedback. It is working with the parents, working with the children because as you can imagine, parents can get pretty frustrated and and it's it's challenging, especially with a child that might somehow be out of control. And they're just, you know, sort of at their wits end. But we go in and we actually work with them in their environment for 10 weeks. And and then at the end of that 10 weeks, they're given a gift. And and part of the gift is the videotape and the videotape is used with each session. They'll roll it back and and make their give the positive feedback. And then at the end, they get that tape to sleep. And and so and there is marked differences and it's because these children are feeling better and it's the parents are feeling that exactly from what we've heard are feeling better. Absolutely. And so we have that proof because people have made it through the program successfully. So yeah, we have some wonderful examples we could set you up. We don't have long enough. Yeah, yeah. I before we and I wanted to talk about your cards that you're doing for Mother's Day's Pass. But if you can talk about how people can do that and just speak a bit about the Father's Day cards, we have some here on the table. We have a visual too that they're okay that you can post. This is actual on the cover of the card. It's an actual painting that we have hanging in our preschool room at the nursery and it is from one of the students or children, which chokes me up every time I think about that. And just this sweet simple message, thank you for helping me grow. And then on the inside of the card, it says with thoughts of you, a donation has been made in your honor to the Yolo Crisis Nursery. This gift will help protect children of Yolo County and preserve their families. So a very simple message that can be used for really any purpose. It's excellent for Mother's Day or Father's Day, especially since you're thanking a parent or a parent figure to help you grow. It's also great for graduations or any sort of other celebration. Where you can note it where you're giving forward and you're kind of paying back, I guess, to those who have helped you. Because the donation that you make will be made in honor of the person that you name. So that can be done via our website, www.YoloCrisisNursery.org, slash cards. Okay, well, we have to wrap up, unfortunately. But it was great having you guys here today and learning about this beautiful organization that has grown. So thank you both for coming and be sure for everyone to check out their website. Okay, thank you. Thank you, this was in the studio.


Hi guys welcome back to my youtube channel this is Daniel Rosel here. I made a video before about burning M-discs on Windows and I ended up on Ubuntu sorry I ended up having to use VMware and you know virtual machine and it didn't work just fine I was actually not expecting that but then I saw on reddit people were saying yeah there's no problem getting the M-disc to burn using k3b so I knew there was something fishy and I went thinking about it and then I eventually figured it out what the problem was in my case I was connecting my M-disc burner, Blu-ray M-disc burner through USB hub and that was causing great issues with the USB rider being detected so I said why don't I try just connecting it directly to the computer and tape resto so here is so that's what I've just gone ahead and done so what I'm actually doing here is I'm going to be I'm really doing a duplication process here I've burned my the last three years my video production efforts on to an M-disc library using the previous method I described in VMware but of course I'd rather work directly in Linux what I'm doing now is I'm actually M-disc by M-disc I'm creating duplicates so that I can create an offsite backup archive so what you're seeing here and the program looks to be kind of just a little bit frozen for a tiny bit of time here what you're seeing is a folder with the contents of the previous M-disc so I'm just going to grab them all and I'm going to just chuck them over to the new M-disc and this is an M-disc it's a 25 gig capacity you get 23.3 of usable capacity so I'm filling up my archives to about the 20 I'm trying to get as close to 23 as possible but this one I left a little bit more but you can do more sophisticated stuff like leaving parity data I'm at the kind of elementary stage of this if you want to do this properly name your project etc etc but I'm going to go for the quick and dirty method I'm going to click on burn and you do get some options here you get for instance that the writing mode the the time can be up to four times and you've actually got an option to create multiple copies which would be super useful if you're doing this this sorry directly remember I just did a video about offsite approaches and you want to create three two one compliant backups always so you want to always burn each data each data pool twice one for your onsite one for your offsite so to make this process a bit less tedious you could do two copies and run them one after the other so I've dumped in my data I'm not doing anything fancy here I get I'm using auto speed mode I do get two times and four times these are four times four times disks but I'm going to just let the computer do it and I'm not going to verify the data this is again a kind of more quick and dirty if you will and then I'm going to click on burn basically so we are firing up in k3b onto an m disk it's enabled the udf extension now I'm not going to I'm going to click exit when we actually start the burning process because no one wants to sit through a 30 minute burn that's about how long it takes me to write 20 gigs onto each m disk I'm just going to get as far as to validate that it's that it's working I'm just paying attention at this moment to the various things here for instance this is the product name you can see wp-50 nb-40 it's from um LG company that's my burner so I know hey good we're using the right optical thing and once I see this I know we're in something's happening right so I'm watching so we've started the buffer the writing speed is uh is you can see 4496 kilobits per second one time so yeah this is going to be another slow burning process but um writing data is 71 85 of 1900 so we've just burned our first 100 megabytes of 19 uh 0.5 and everything looks like it's uh going ahead to me so this is uh k3b the burning process of an m disk I'm waiting for that first uh one percent to talk up to the clock up I guess it's going to be when I get to 192 there we go one percent estimated remaining time two hours this is dreadfully slow I think I was getting four times um write speed on the um using I'm using burnware on windows so the next disk because I have 16 of these delights to uh copy over to my offsite I'm going to play around and try manually crank that burn speed up to four because writing m disks writing 20 gigabytes at one time is burn speed as you can see is a rather painful process uh so this is it anyway here's k3b in action working away on burning a m disk m disk of course being a modified version of the blu-ray dvd for long term archival cold storage and a super cool project really interesting way in my opinion of doing backup instead of trusting your data to random cloud providers uh get yourself a code on a copy or you could just do you could also do backup onto your nes and then duplicate the nes onto m disk 20 25 50 or 100 gigs at a time and then set up your own offsite archive in somewhere like your um your your office or your friend's house or some uh you know um equivalent iron mountain that isn't a commercial service anyway this is k3b in action on an m disk hope this video was useful and feel free to subscribe to get more videos from this youtube channel thank you guys for watching


Hi, welcome back to the Curious Giraffe Show. Start with a song. When we sing together, I feel so much better. It's easy and simple to do. When we sing together, the day just gets better. I love making music with you. However, I feel so much better. It's easy and simple to do. When we read together, the day just gets better. I love making stories with you. Sometimes we read stories most of the time. So, I hope you brought your curious minds and hearts today. Hi, dear Dorothy. I brought my curious eyes, my curious ears, and my curious mouth. You brought your curious mouth? Oh, what do you mean by that? Now, I'm curious and have a question or an idea.  Oh, that's great. But we also know that some of us, like the curious giraffe George back here, he's quiet but he loves to watch and listen and learn. Yes, yes. So, I am curious, Dorothy. I brought my curious mind and heart and I want to know what book we're going to read today. Okay, well, we'll get right to it with the curious giraffe song, which tells us what book we're going to read today. Here we go. Giraffe looked over at Dorothy and said, I'm curious what book and song she'll share with us today. Dorothy said, fascinating. We'll lead the way and we'll share it under one big sky. Oh, yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah, we're different and we know it but we all get along because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. We're different but we all belong. Yes, we are different and yes, we do belong. So, I told you that today's book is fascinating.  And this book is about the life of Leonard Nimoy. And it was written by Richard Michelson, who was his friend. And the pictures were illustrated by Adele Rodriguez. I think you're going to enjoy it. Now, it says the life of Leonard Nimoy. Leonard Nimoy was a favorite of my son, Nick, when he was growing up because he would watch a show called Star Trek. And Nick, I'll show you, well I'll show you Nick's picture now. For Halloween one year, he dressed up to be one of the people on Star Trek. And Leonard Nimoy was one of them too. But he wasn't always a grown-up actor. He was a little boy and he lived in the city. We're going to find out about him in this wonderful book. Okay, here we go. Lenny took a deep breath and looked out at the playhouse stage. Just that morning, he had been shooting baskets in the gym at the Elizabeth Peabody Settlement House. He hadn't even known the building head of theater. But Mr. Chafflin, the new social director, had heard Lenny chanting the Shema prayer with his father at Temple Beth Israel and he needed someone to sing God Bless America to open tonight's talent show. Lenny peered out at the audience from behind the curtain. Was every person in Boston's West End here? He could see Stanley and George, his best friends since kindergarten. Now it was 1939 and they were in the third grade. And there was his brother, Mel, still wearing his high school science lab apron. In the front row sat two empty chairs. One had a handwritten sign that said, reserved for Max Nimoy. The other said, Andora.  His father, following, was still wearing his barber's smock. He must have come straight from his shop where he'd been cutting hair since immigrating to Boston from Russia 16 years ago. When they arrived in this country, Max and Dora's passports were stamped alien and that was how they still felt. But they trusted the settlement house which taught immigrant families to be American. There were classes in how to boil hot dogs and how to brush your teeth with a toothbrush instead of a rag. There is so much to know. It makes me dizzy, Max would moan. The house lights went down and the footlights went up. Reach for the stars, Mr. Chafflin said as Lenny stepped onto the stage. Walking home with his family, Lenny couldn't stop whistling. Such clapping I never heard before, said his mother beaming. The neighbors leaned out their windows to offer congratulations. Bravo, Mr. Basso Boom. May luck be your friend forever, lad. Mrs. Kiernan sang out. Most of the neighbors were Italian or Irish. Lenny could find his way home with his eyes closed just by following the smells that wafted from each tenement kitchen. Garlic meant they were passing the Greco's apartment and were almost at 87 Chamber Street where he shared four small rooms with Mel, his parents, and his Bubba and Zeta. Most all the kids in the building got along, but every Sunday Lenny felt left out when his friends went to church. Still, he felt special when his father took him to Shul on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Lenny watched the men in front start swaying and singing a special prayer. We're supposed to cover our eyes during the priestly blessing. Max whispered, so don't look. No cheating. Lenny peaked. He was fascinated by what he saw. The men pulled their prayer shawls over their heads, but their chants only got louder. As they blessed the congregation, they raised both arms in the air and held out their hands as if they were shooting a two-handed jump shot. What were they doing with their fingers? Fascinating. He couldn't ask or his father would know that he had peaked. That night in his room, Lenny practiced what he'd witnessed. He taped together his index finger and middle finger, then his pinky and ring finger. By the time of his bar mitzvah, Lenny could make the gesture easily with either hand. His fingers looked like the letter shen, which he'd learned in Hebrew school, was the first letter of the word shalom or peace and shaddai, one of the names for God. After school, Lenny peddled newspapers on Beacon Hill. Here, I'm sorry, let me just see that. He learned everything important that was going on in the world when he shouted out the day's headlines. Plus, he made a penny and a half for every record he sold. Some evenings, he also stacked chairs at the band shell. At home, Bubba made him feel good. She sang him a Yiddish song about a boy who wanted to turn into a bird and explore the planet. Zeta added, Go, do, discover. Our world is a fascinating place. Lenny was saving every penny he made. The family had gotten a Kodak bellows camera and he needed film to take some pictures. He captured the wisdom in Zeta's face and he noticed lines around Bubba's eyes. He studied his mother and father through the viewfinder. Lenny knew you needed a dark room without any windows to develop pictures so he closed the door to the family bathroom and turned out the light. Slowly, he watched each image emerge. Fascinating. It was magic. It's getting bigger. When Lenny was 17, he heard that the Settlement House Theater was putting on a performance of Awake and Sing by the playwright Clifford Odettes. It was about three generations of a poor Jewish family who lived together in one small apartment. The director needed someone to play the part of the son who yearned for a better life and a society where everyone was treated fairly. Lenny read the play. Could the author have known the Nimois? How did Mr. Odettes understand what Lenny was thinking? Thoughts he hadn't shared with anyone. Lenny loved performing. He tried out for every play he could. Each character was different and he always tried to figure out their hopes and dreams and their secrets too. He was in a play at a local temple when Father John Bond came backstage. What are you doing over the summer? He asked. I have nothing planned. Lenny answered. Well, you do now son. The priest said he invited Lenny to attend the Boston College Summer Theater Program on scholarship. By August, Lenny knew he wanted to be a professional actor. His parents had traveled across the ocean in pursuit of a better life. Now he would travel across the country to Hollywood to follow his dreams. I'm going to move ahead a little bit, but he worked hard and earned money and finally it came time. Look how grown up he is now.  May you live till 120 and have a long and healthy life like Moses, she said. And in Hollywood he took a while to get the kind of work he was looking for so he became a taxi driver. One night he picked up a man with a Boston accent. Leonard felt homesick. Maybe he should forget his dreams and head home. But his passenger advised, never give up. As long as you can make a difference in people's lives, lots of competition in your business, just like in mine, but an actor is like a politician. There is always room at the top for one more good one. He handed Leonard his business card. Congressman John F. Kennedy. So Leonard took the future president's advice. He worked hard, learned his lines and showed up on time. When he turned 20, he got a small part in a movie called Queen for a Day. Next he played a Martian invader in Zombies of the Stratosphere. And finally he got his first starring role as kid, Monk Baroni. His name was on the Boston West End Movie Theater. He was on his way and his friends and family saw it. For the next 13 years he continued to act mostly in television. He also opened his own studio to help teach younger performers. He got married and had two children, Julie and Adam. Then one day in 1965, he got a call from Jean Roddenberry, a producer who was writing a new science fiction television show called Star Trek. He wanted Leonard to play the part of an alien science officer named Spock. He explained that Spock worked with earthlings on a starship named The Enterprise, which would take the crew to explore many new worlds. But Spock would always feel like an outsider because his father was from a planet called Vulcan where everyone made decisions based on logic instead of emotion. Leonard wasn't sure he wanted the part. He would have to wear pointy ears and a silly haircut. What if the audience made fun of him and his career was ruined? He tried to think about the decision logically. Then he remembered looking at his own father through the camera lens and seeing all the hidden emotion in his face. And he remembered how Zeta always encouraged him to take chances. And he remembered Mr. Chafflin from the back home who told him to reach for the stars. My folks came to the United States as immigrants. They were called aliens and they became citizens, he told Mr. Roddenberry. I was born in Boston as a citizen. Then I came to Hollywood as an outsider and now it's time for me to become an alien. I am Spock. Leonard poured all his experience into the role and people everywhere identified with Spock's attempts to fit in even though he was different. They cheered as he stood up to bullies, argued for justice, and tried to convince everyone that it made sense to live peacefully. Back home in Boston, boys started coming into Max Nimoy's barbershop asking for a Spock haircut. Max taped a picture of his son, the science officer, to the mirror. He was proud that Leonard was making a good living. In Star Trek's second season, the Enterprise visited the planet Vulcan. It was the first time viewers could see the world that Spock came from. The script told Spock to shake hands with the Vulcan queen, but Leonard wanted to have a special greeting. Asians bow when they meet. He told the director and military men salute. And how do Vulcans greet each other? He was asked. Leonard thought for a while and then he remembered the time in the temple when he was eight years old. He held up his hand in the ancient Hebraic gesture and he blessed the actors he worked with and he blessed the audience and he blessed everyone all over the universe. Live long and prosper. That symbol and that message is one that people learned everywhere. And even though that TV show only went on for about three years, they made movies about it and many, many people greet one another this way. See if you can do it. Put two fingers, two tall fingers together, the two small fingers together. Say, live long and prosper. Put it together. Live long and prosper. So my son, like I told you, was one of those people who watched that show and got so much out of it. So that's one greeting. And I wrote a song about other greetings. With a high or a hug or a high five with a high or a hug or a... You see me too. You don't with the time that you take before you'll take the time to greet you when I meet you and it won't cause hugging and high-end. All kinds of greetings. Box greeting again. Two fingers together, two fingers together. Live long and prosper. So my friend Dave Canoine wrote a song that I think fits in really well and I think that Leonard Nimoy would have sung if he had known it. I think I can. He really did. When he was asked to sing a solo, he sang a solo. When he was asked to be in a play, he learned the part and was in the play. And when he couldn't get the work he wanted at first, he said, well, I think I could be a driver. I could learn my way around and give people rides. And he just always believed he could. And so this song is to encourage all of us. I think I can. I think I can. So I'll try it. I'm on my way. I say I think I can. So I'll try it. I think I can. I like trying things I never tried before just to see what I can do. It may look hard. It often does. But I'll take my chances just because I think I can. So I'll try it. I'm on my way. I think I can. I want to encourage us that when we have ideas, to go ahead and do it. Don't wait for someone else because the idea came to you. It's yours to figure out and see what happens. So this says, when something's calling you, I mean, like something in your head, you say, oh, I think I could or it would be really great if we could. Your heart says, oh, I wish someone would do for someone. And you realize, oh, my heart is telling me, maybe I can be the one to do that something or find someone who could. When something's calling you, don't wait around for something. So take the first step. One else to draw. Make progress on your own. Be way. Progress on your own. Get up and go. What seeds will grow? We take it, get up and go. They change their dreams into real things. So just like Mr. Chathlin was a friend of the boy, and he was eight of Leonard Nimoy's. When he was eight, he said, reach for the stars. There's a song called So Many Stars about people. I think of an idea as like a bright light, like a star that's up there. And here's my song called So Many Stars about people who had ideas that came true. So many stars, you can't come, and a star is a great fire palm From far away our dreams may look small Move toward the switch on a light Will the room remain dark or be sudden? Well the light switch was once just a dream in the mind Now it's a part you can't count From far away our dreams may look small Just sit where you are Well the come from far away our dreams may Last time it was a great fire Both my son had dreams too. Lots of people, sons and daughters, watched him acting, believing in himself, and his character had such good messages like, peace is logical. Yeah, yeah, wow, I'm gonna think about that. Okay, but it is time to go already. I can't believe how quickly our time together went. So, oh, I get to lead the song? Sure, sure, go ahead. Keep singing, keep looking, Questions and never give up, keep. We'll see you next time. I think I can So I'll find things I never tried before Just to see what I can


Hi, this is Oswin Bhartia and we are Headed Open Source Summit in Vancouver and today we have with us Omkar Arasarattam, General Manager of Open SSF. Omkar, it's great to have you on the show. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me. I want to talk about you first, talk about your own open source journey, what attracted you towards open source. Gosh, I'm going to date myself now, but probably about 25 years ago, when I first began my career, I got very deeply involved with open source and it fills me with pride as I hear from my other GMs and CTOs within the LF, several of us have worked on open source projects together in the past unbeknowingly, we've all arrived here. So I began my career, I was very interested in Linux, got into some system administration work. Then I began doing some work in the kernel as well and ended up doing some architecture maintainer roles with different distributions like Gen2 Linux. And then after that, I spent the last two decades very focused on cybersecurity. So I really view this role and I'm so excited about this role because it's the culmination of my experience and it allows me to really help with ensuring that we're providing more secure and safe software for the greater good. Since you mentioned security and cybersecurity, in today's world, when we first of all, the world literally runs on open source software stack, it doesn't matter whether... Also, the way we are consuming open source now is different than early days of SFS when everything was distributed, now nothing is being distributed, it's running, so security has also changed. Whose responsibility in security has also changed.  Now you respond to the whole pipeline. Plus, when you look at open source, it's not just the project, they're frameworks, they're a library, there are so many dependencies. So we have to look at just like the whole supply chain, just like cars, assemblies. So I also want to hear, since you talked about all the early days of Linux kernel, how you have seen the evolution of security from those early days of traditional IT to the smart and cloud-centric, cloud-native world where there's so many moving pieces. That's a great question. And you highlighted many of the changes that we've seen because of course security doesn't exist on its own. Security exists as a component of the technology that we're building. And in the past where we had more centralized development and we were green screens to mainframes or even in the earlier or more contemporary days when we moved to client server, what I discovered is the threat landscape changed. And what I mean by that is when we think about how ubiquitous access is now versus how segmented we could make things in prior times, some of the disconnection actually led for a more controlled surface. Now everything's accessible everywhere, everything's accessible by IPv6, we have light bulbs with IP addresses, and the control surface is that much more. So the evolution that I've seen in security has been behind this kind of notion of having this hard exterior through which we will defend all the threats and leave everything relatively open on the inside to a scenario where we have to be resilient and secure by design from every angle without being able to consider that there's inherent security properties that will defend us logically and that we need to be secure by construction. We can't just hope the vulnerability scanner will pick it up. We actually have to be thoughtful as to whether we're using memory safe languages, whether we're using approaches and patterns that are secure by design rather than trying to quality control security and after the fact. You gave example of even the light bulbs, everything fridges, TVs. The irony is that when I buy a computer or a smartphone, you do know the life cycle that hey, the support will be getting, I don't even know how long my fridge will be getting software updates and there are a lot of known vulnerabilities or unknown vulnerability and my fridge and TV is plugged into my network. So that is also kind of, I'm opening a port for attackers to come and attack. So the thing is it's also become very, very complicated. In today's world, there are a lot of IoT devices, ring bells and so many things are happening. So when we just look at this, the devices and there's so many devices. The attack surface has also increased, threat factors have also increased. So when you look at security today, are you kind of getting worried that we have to actually do too much work or you're like, that's a natural protection of technologies, we are staying ahead of the curve. I don't think we're staying ahead of the curve. I think we're playing catch up right now and the analog that I use is I want to get right now, we're in a scenario where we're swatting mosquitoes. I want to be in a scenario where Citronella is ubiquitous and present and that we're warding off those kind of common attacks structurally rather than trying to do so after the fact. This kind of ubiquitous proliferation and extension of the edge is everywhere and I think a lot of the work that we're doing in the OpenSSF also seeks to try and address that. So even though we have fridges that are internet connected and light bulbs that are internet connected and cars that are internet connected and your laptop that's internet connected, the good news is many of these things are based off of open source software. And if we can ensure that we're being secure by construction in our open source foundational projects, we can help to ensure that the overall public consumption of these technologies is more secure. The challenge that we'll have and you hinted at this is the life cycle of it. And we've seen some legislation come across that proposes different methods of holding manufacturers accountable for a particular life cycle. It'll be interesting to observe how that evolves. I'm not sure that there's a proverbial silver bullet answer. And I think if it was that simple, we would have already addressed it. But I look forward to seeing how that evolves in working with our member companies and the general public to help ensure that we're providing secure software for the greater public good. So when we look at the whole security landscape, who do you think are the constituents who can play a big role when we talk about moving from the next phase of spreading mosquitoes to actually securing things? So when it comes to the constituents that help us move to the next phase, I'm an engineer. I'm an engineer that's been doing security for 20 years. So I think of things in terms of use cases. And in every use case, you have your actors that are part of the use case. So I think of four actors. The first actor are the companies producing the software, right? So many of them are on our board, companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google. The second are actors that are primarily consuming the software. So and in this category, I identify some of my colleagues from Citibank and JP Morgan and Discover, etc. Not that they're not building software themselves, but they're primarily consuming it in order to provide business value. The third group that I think about is our friends in public sector. We have to work in partnership with our governments in order to ensure that we are helping to guide legislation, that we are helping to provide input as to where we believe we should be leaning in insecurity and where we should be letting free market forces dictate the betterment of software through demand. And last but not least is our greater open source community and security researchers. I think there's tremendous value in those constituents being able to help to influence secure outcomes in software. And we have great participation from all three or excuse me, all four actors when it comes to our use cases. And I'd like to continue to see that evolve. I think if it was just dominated by one, it would be imbalanced. The truly secure end point and the point that we get to where we have elevated software security for the greater public good is when there's a balance of these demands and we center on the ideal outcome. If you look at these four, of course, public sector long term, more engagement, a lot of legislation, a lot of their own education that is needed, open source community, we can do a good job in making sure the code base is secure. Companies you talked about, AWS, Microsoft, Google, they can also do a good job at the company. Second, the consumer, and I'm talking about enterprise consumers, and we keep hearing cases because when it comes to securing that cases, it's not just the software bug. It could be misconfigurations. We have seen access control. We have seen social engineering. So the challenges are a lot for them. Their employees in the laptop can come. I mean, we keep hearing about everyone. So we also feel that we need a culture shift also. So what role can open SSF play beyond just code to help them to kind of embrace the culture of, you know, I mean, of course, we have depths of cops and all those things. But we talk a lot about them. But then realistically, you know, what is happening and what will you folks and play there? Yeah, so a lot of the areas that we're focusing on are beyond just strictly technical contributions. It isn't just about rewriting things in memory safe languages or ensuring that some of the most popular frameworks like Python are secured by design, although that's a significant portion of what we do. In addition to that, we have end user groups within the open SSF that are focused on how this software is consumed. And if you look at the development environment of a lot of banks, they're not dissimilar to some of our colleagues in the technology center. They have their own pipelines. They have their own quality assurance. They have their own production environments that have to remain available and secure. And but they have slightly different demands. It's not often that a Google or a Amazon or a Microsoft will directly face direction or will face direction from a regulator. But a lot of our end users do. And we have to understand how they are looking to satisfy those requirements. In addition to that, education. I'm a firm believer that as an engineer, we have to build software that's secure by construction. There was the old adage about the factory where they were facing a quality control issue in the assembly of parts. So they kept adding more quality control people to the assembly line. And eventually, they're diminishing returns, and they employed more quality control people than factory personnel. But when they retooled the part, so it simply wasn't possible to put it in the wrong way, that's what we need to get to in terms of software engineering. This shouldn't require somebody that's extremely skilled in security. Should be secure by design, secure by default. And that's how we get to a stage where software can be secured for the greater public good. Can you talk about some of the initiatives that are there at OpenSSF in terms of the problem media that we talked about to help the enterprise customers to improve their security posture? Absolutely. So as I mentioned, there's the end user group that's actually chaired by some of our end user communities, end user participants, excuse me. And they are focusing on just such areas. In addition to that, when we look at some of the other work that we're doing in Alpha Omega, that looks to secure the upstream supply chain so that our end users don't have to worry about whether a particular version of a particular popular library is secure. They can rely on the fact that by construction, we've ensured that the right steps have taken place. And those are some of the areas that we've managed to get great progress in. But as always, OpenSSF, like other foundations, is member driven. And while we have an idea based on our current membership as to where to spend time and how to help, I'd also encourage anyone listening to this to consider participating. It's a wonderful way of being able to not only ensure that the work that we're doing is aligned with things that are a benefit to you, but also to help make the world a little more secure for everyone. But if you talk about security, we have to start talking about security a lot. It's not someone else's problem. Moving in, you talked about shift left. It's everybody's problem. Once again, I would like you to wrap not only with the rule OpenSSF can play, but also why companies should get involved because people are realizing that security is something they cannot compromise with. From our perspective, security is an ecosystem. We cannot be secure in isolation. We cannot be secure in a vacuum. We cannot hermetically seal and be secure. The only way to do this properly is to get participation from all of those constituents we spoke about earlier. Not only is it simply a equation of labor because it's a big effort, but it also brings different perspectives in. And as a software developer, I can make something extremely secure but unusable to an end user. Or as an end user, I can do something that is very optimized for my business but not necessarily compliant with regulation. So being able to engage all of our stakeholders to pull us to center on this so that our supply chain and our software is more secure by design for the greater public good is why we should get involved. Because even if, and I used to be in financial sector, so I'll cite banking examples, even if my online banking is secure and everything's running great, if the gas station down the road is hacked, that's going to affect me personally. And until we kind of take that challenge to really improve the basic software foundations that we run on, we're just not going to be able to get there alone. So if I was to, if there was a call to action for those watching this video, get involved, speak to your leadership about helping to invest time, donations are always helpful within the open source community and with open SSF to help make our software more secure. And then you get an example of gas station like that. You're as safe as the weakest link in the whole chain. That's right.  Is it only the big companies? Or as I said, even the small gas station, every company, if you have a software stack, you should be. Every company needs to be involved. And part of, I think part of the reason behind this is it wasn't that we suddenly have more arduous security requirements. These are always here. It's just they're becoming apparent now. And the reason that they feel so difficult at this point is because maybe we weren't looking at what the true risk potential was before. And now that we understand, now we can be more thoughtful and now we can realize it's not just the big folks that are going to be involved. It's not just the big folks that are affected. It's this very complex ecosystem. And as we saw with log4j a few years ago, it literally affects everyone. Omkara, thank you so much for taking time out today. And of course, congratulations for joining the foundation and also share your own journey. And very, very heading with security. Thanks for all those insights. And as usual, I'd love to have you back on the show. Thank you. I'd love to. It's a pleasure. Thank you so much for having me.


So Charlie was in his own little pool and then he just walked in here He looks like a guy that forgot his towel right Charlie Charlie are you making a mess on the floor? Why don't you want to hang out outside like a real duck?


Okay, today we're going to talk about the properties of real numbers. These are just four properties of the real numbers. There are many more, but today we're going to look at additive identity, multiplicative identity, additive inverse, and multiplicative inverse. Those are the four we're going to talk about today. And what we're going to do is I'm going to talk about the algebra first, and then I'm going to talk about the numbers. The algebra is just talking about these principles, talking about these properties, excuse me, with variables, and then I'm going to talk about them with numbers, just plug in numbers for the variables. Okay, so the additive identity is first, this is a very, very basic property. It basically says if I have a number plus zero, that's always going to simply just equal that number. A lot of these properties that we define, they're very simple properties. But again, in mathematics we always want to define everything no matter how simple it is. Okay, so the additive identity basically states if you have a number plus zero, you're always going to get simply just that number. And again, I'm using n to represent that number. You're going to be using a little bit of algebra. Okay, so now for the numbers, so I'm going to use a number for n. It doesn't really matter what I use. In this case I'll use three, plus zero is equal to three. So if I take a number plus zero, nothing's really going to happen. I'm simply just going to get three. And that is the additive identity. And I know this property is very basic, very simple, something you already know. But again, what we're doing is we're taking the very basic properties and we're writing them down. So again, simple stuff that you know, we're just labeling them as different properties. All right, next we have the multiplicative identity. This one is kind of similar to the additive identity. But again, we're going to use multiplication instead of addition. Multiplicative identity, I use a different variable. So I'll use, in this case, I'll use m. So m just represents a number. It doesn't really matter what number it is. If I take a number and I multiply times one, I'm going to get that same number, m. Okay, so the additive identity, take a number plus zero and you get that same number. For the multiplicative identity, take a number times one and you're going to get that same number, okay? So again, a little bit of similarity there, but the difference is addition and multiplication, okay? So there's the algebra with it, now I'll do numbers with it. Let's try something negative. How about negative two times one is simply equal to negative two. So even with negative numbers, if you multiply times one, you're still going to get the same thing. Negative two times one, you simply get negative two, same thing. Okay, next is the additive inverse in mathematics. When we talk about inverses, it usually means opposite. But in mathematics, it's a little bit different when we say opposite. Sometimes opposite numbers, opposite operations, there's a little bit difference there. Anyway, additive inverse, this one is if you take a number. So for example, if I take, I'll use the same variables as before. If you take n plus the opposite additive inverse. So we're taking a number plus it's opposite. Notice I'm using parentheses here. The opposite of n, whatever that number is, okay? If I take a number plus it's opposite, I'm always going to get zero. So that's your additive inverse. Take a number plus it's opposite, I always get zero. All right, so let's throw some numbers in there now. What number did I use before? I used three, so let's use that same number. Three plus a negative three is going to equal zero. Now again, if you look at it with the numbers, that's very simple. Three plus negative three is zero, everybody knows that. Now when you look at it with the algebra, that's a little bit different since we're introducing variables into this. But again, simple property that we know, we're just defining it as the additive inverse, okay? Last but not least, we have the multiplicative inverse. As you can well imagine, we're going to be multiplying here. I'm going to use the same variables before with multiplicative. I'm going to use n. But this time when I multiply, I'm going to use the inverse. Now the inverse of multiplication is, the opposite of multiplication is actually division. So I'm going to take a number times, now you'll see the division here in just a second, a number times it's reciprocal. Now remember reciprocal that vocabulary where you take a number and you flip it. You flip it over that fraction bar, okay? So m times one over m times the reciprocal, okay? Now when I talked about division, this fraction bar is also known as division, so that's where the inverse comes in, that's where division comes in, okay? Equals, so m times one over m is going to equal one. So if I ever have a number times it's reciprocal, I'm always going to get one. All right, so let's put numbers to this what I used last time. I used negative two last time for m, so I'll do that same thing here. Negative two times one over negative two. And two on top, two on bottom, those will cancel. Negative, two negatives makes it positive, so everything's going to cancel to one, okay? So those are our four properties of real numbers. One of the, four of the properties of real numbers. Additive identity, multiplicative identity, additive inverse, and multiplicative inverse.


Hi everyone, Sean with jaspyscasebreaks.com here doing 2020 top stadium club baseball chrome four box break number two where each spot gets you two random teams each 15 spots all card ship everyone gets two random teams in the MOB into some details about the product itself one auto card per box 14 packs so on and so forth so two random teams here's our customer list from zebulon up to daniel so since it's two teams per we're going to copy this list and double it up so there's last spot mojo once and twice and the teams from the nationals back up to the diamondbacks dice roll to randomize both lists and pair them up six and the two eight times eighth and final time from kevin down to erin now eight times on the teams six and two so two eighth and final time minnesota twins down to the colorado rockies cool let's see how it turned out kevin benendict with the twins walter lots with the jay blue jays terry benton with the padres mark green with the pirates and the muts daniel ousley with the dodgers erin connect connexity with the red socks and orials daniel ousley with the yankees walter lots with the a's kevin benendict with the marlins daniel ousley with the astros richard miller with the royals matt arnold with the diamondbacks erin connect me with the brewers matt arnold with the cardinals kevin benendict with the rays zebulon moss last spot mojo with the white socks richard miller with the rangers mark green with the reds matt arnold with the mariners uh mark green with the giants terry benton with the nationals daniel ousley with the tigers kevin benendict with the cubs zebulon moss with the braves matt arnold with the indians kevin benendict with the fillies and the angels and erin connect me with the rockies so let's go ahead and sort this by team trade window is open so this is already from a this is a second break from this case so it's a four box break we need to figure out which boxes we're going to do so while trade window is open we're going to figure this out uh one two for the box on the left three four for the boxes in the middle five six for the boxes on the right i'm going to open this up and we're going to throw the dice right there there's my special dice so one two three four five six went over the bounce but it's still able to be seen it's right there it's a four let me slide this out so we're going with the boxes in the middle one two three four five six so here's our four boxes i don't understand how that happened walter i was just going right at it and it jumped it jumped the shark okay so no talks of trades it's print and rip here we go uh zebulon last spot mojo with the braves and the white socks not a bad team for last spot mojo this is my first look at this as i said this is the only second break we've done it said one auto per box i guess no box topper in these ones i think the regular stadium club had a box topper right and see how these stack up maybe i'll open more well you're just in time rebel this is my first look too i mean it's stadium club which is great photography and it's chrome two words that together mean great things cool box one and box two good luck i did it backwards and forwards i don't like that to 25 lucas gilito for the chicago white socks zebulon moss last spot mojo i really don't like that jordan alvarez houston astros daniel ousley randia raiserana tampa bay rays kevin benedict let the look of it the fact that every pack is half forward half backwards buster posi gold to 50 hard to tell but that's how you tell then the color change up top that's for the giants mark green and our auto anthony k toronto blue jays walter lux rookie auto you randy raiserana for the rays uh kevin benedict kyle lewis seattle mariners matt arnold and our auto rookie jose or quitty houston astros daniel ousley i mean which one was that rebel i don't remember but yeah this is pretty bad legitimately like it's two cards one way then three cards the other way louise robert or beam team very cool chicago white socks zebulon moss last spot mojo jose rodriguez to 25 orange that is really hard to tell also let's see the gold the orange up on top uh that's for the angels kevin benedict maybe some tweaks make this better next year are you set as a keynote since 90 reds mark green like i said i mean overall can't beat the look of the cards stadium clubs got some of the best photography and obviously the uh the chrome just pops it up a notch too is it don ras what are they flipped backwards or just upside down i hate that too i don't like when they're upside down but at the same point like flipped backwards is totally like even worse you know what i mean because you literally can't see the front of the part upside down at least like is what it is you know see if i can help myself out with this don't like having to do it but help me keep from pulling my hair out later on so it looks like it's two cards and then this one's three and then everything else is flipped around one two i wonder there's gotta be a reason for it can anybody give me a reason why they would do that and at what point in like the production and design meeting what did they go you know what you got an idea let's put two cards one way and flip all the rest of them around and put the other ones the other way so this one's four and two three and three i did that break it probably hasn't loaded george it's on there i think this is it george let me know if that's not it pretty sure that's it though you were waiting for it to break or what i broke it it's on the schedule right i think that's it george i'm almost positive he's looking for 14 i posted 13 oh uh george that's probably because 14 hasn't gone yet i think it's sold out after uh yeah so it hasn't even broken yet that's why you can't find it because it's not even on the schedule it's sold out after uh i started breaks randy raise arena tampa bay rays kevin benedict remember all card ship friend and mckay tampa bay rays kevin benedict louise robert chicago white socks zebulon moth that is true kyle louis seattle mariners matt arnold so jenny how are you i'm uh i'm actually glad i flipped all those around this is much easier nick solak rookie auto texas rangers richard miller going that extra effort you know definitely paid off oh you drove down the norcal mm you go double double now i kind of want in and out it'll be closed by the time i leave though maybe i'll call delivery bobby bradley orange to 25 cleveland indians uh that is matt arnold french fries you had three of them danie good for you man did you get a did you get animal style fries nico warner chicago cubs kevin benedict i know the cubs are in like a rebuild slash reset phase but they got some really good players uh george number 14 is coming up later on tonight it's sold out after i started all the breaks and made the schedule so once i get a chance once i get to that end on the schedule where it says orders and tbd that's when i'll be adding that to the list and everything else that sells out until then so you're not crazy i am i guess i didn't flip them all around maricio dubon rocchiato san francisco giants sorry about that mark green louise robert beam team white socks again uh zebieland moss great name by the way they probably loaded the next one that's why george so that other people could buy into the next two boxes ariste de sequino since natty reds mark green cool nice stuff that was our break 2020 tops stadium club baseball chrome four box break two random teams each number two three is in the store jaspy's case breaks dot com thank you very much for hanging out and i'll see you next time i'll use that little trick uh next time to flip the cards so that it makes it easier last two boxes much easier than the first two see you guys


Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. You about some of the stuff that I seen, things was on Spliffs page, you on there a lot. That guy, anyway. Yeah, that guy, man. You're just like that guy. I wanna know about, it was a thing I read or heard that you had something with, took half a million dollars from Sillignite or something. What was that? What was that? I wanna hear about that. That's why it's on the internet. I'm looking at what I'm looking at. I need an answer for this. I see, that's why I'm saying, this is why I say, they don't let Bodyhunter BJ relax. That's the stuff that popped, the stuff that I'm looking at. I watched it, bro. I pushed the button, right? And I say, put in the information for, I didn't know your name was Amino Cappuccino. I said, BJ, the bounty hunter. Baby, let's get this information. He come into town and split pop up, boom, horns or something like that. I said, damn, sit down, there it is. Okay, all right, I gotta ask him about this. So he did well with the world class Wrecking Crew.  I didn't even know the nigga was even, I was mad cause Supreme at Com and I say, no, I don't know if I want that cat, he don't know nobody. But then when I look, I say, oh, hell, I got me something here. So what's that a real thing? I didn't look at it cause I wanted to get it from you. All right, man. Let me let you bring it. Relation with you. Check this out, man. Again, cause I tell this, I tell, and it's not a story, it's my livelihood. Like I tell it, what separates me from castles in that? These are my real true livelihoods, what I went through, what I live, man. You feel me? I met Simon who ended up becoming a good dear friend slash business partner of mine for 20 something years now, right? I met him on a negative level. Simon.  Shugnaite is AK Simon, Simon says. That's where you got his death row nickname from Simon says. Simon says gold. You tell them niggas gold, they going, you feel me? Well, I wouldn't want them gold niggas. Feel me? I'm a negative niggas gold. Free to homie. So yeah, free to homie Simon, man. So check this out. The way I met him was, I was summons to a meeting from other generals. Feel me? Big homies, Terry Carter, Rest in Peace. Feel me? Uncle Mike, you know what I mean? I was summons to around Terry Moses. No, Terry Carter. Carter. Terry Moses is my big homie though. That's your big homie, somebody. Terry wrote the book. Yeah, I'm in the book. Yeah. Yeah. So I was summons to this meeting. Me and Rat Dogg, Willie Dogg, AK Rat Dogg, Rest in Peace. You know what I mean? My potting and crying, my road, everything. We summons to this meeting. So me having a broad mind again, like I do, and that's why they bought me to the meeting. Cause they know this A1 here at Torpedo, two, he own point and he's smart about it. So if we send him and he go, he gonna go right.  He gonna make everything work. This is why I was bought in. Big homies bought me and laced me. You know this nigga, Simon Schill. Yeah, I heard a nigga, man. I heard a fat boy, man. He football player, slas, did a few bounces for Bobby Brown and me. What about the nigga? Well, look, man, we don't show you niggas how to build your own production company and all that. I'll get your niggas out the street legitimate.   And I just put the peace treaty together in 1992 with other cats collectively out to join downs, Pyrrhicorps, High Sienna Villas. So I'm one of the advocates to represent the Da Moussa from this peace treaty. So I'm now, I'm torn between, like I said, a part of me still BJ in the streets and then I'm developing this Nino Capitino characteristics. You feel what I'm saying? So, but Nino is overpowering BJ. So I'm battling these alter egos, bro. Because soon my phone rang, I'm out in the street, I'm in it, and then I'm in a motherfucking meeting, man, two days later. You know what I'm saying? So I had to really tell myself, wait a minute. You can really see how the foundation of that kind of behavior leads up to people like the nipsies of the world and people like that. Exactly, bro. You can just see how that. And it's crazy you're smoking and we go back on and re-innovate on it. He was in his stage where he was building that to where it would have pulled him away from eventually collectively. Cause he didn't have to be there. He built that already. He ain't had no business there and he didn't have to be there. But it was the foundation of the family of it, the community. He's doing the same thing I'm doing here. Right. The exact same thing. That's why I went to his store. But Jell, you gotta remember though, jealousy, envy, all these things for that part, bro, niggas, I don't got any, you don't got any.  It ain't my fault. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?  So now I go to work. A big brawl jumps out with the West Side probably. And my thing was what I really, what really, really got me involved and got me on him was when he bought about the separation with the power rules. Cause I'm like a, so I'm a real diamond, bro. I'm a real blood from Nixon garden. And I love my homies from six news brands, the power rules, swans, I got homies from all over, bro. I was one of them niggas out my projects was able to bring niggas from these other hoods and bridge them gaps and bring them to our hood.  We a number one in law sentence when coming to the blood situation, bro. Not trying to boast the brand on but giving facts and can't no nigga battle that. That's what it was. Power rules was the original, the originated be dogs before us.  Nothing but fear. And that was for every motherfucking body, period. You know what I'm saying? So that character, bringing that character involved to this situation is what bought me about to smash on it. So me smashing on him and taking the half a million, we ended up getting a record deal. You know what I mean? A production deal. How'd you take the half a million? How'd you articulate that? You pretty sure? Well, I mean, it's simple. Check. Sometimes get in there. This media games, I'm learning. I'm learning. I'm trying to get in there. Articulate that, say word for word how you done took this brand from this. Yeah, I wanna know. It's gone a long time. Look at that thing on the movie. I mean, come to death, bro. I'm there. How you gonna get that money out of him? You know what I'm saying? See, that's the thing about it. Y'all seen that. Remember, y'all got it? Remember money out of you.  I'm the nigga on the other side of the coin, homie. Yeah, you seen sugar, but you didn't see Bonnie and the BJ. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.


Hello, dear friends. Today we are in the garden and we are going to learn about seedlings, also called young plants. And I'm really excited to be able to show you a few different examples that are going to help you to become more comfortable, get to know the plants a little better. And one of the other reasons why this is important is in case when you've planted these, you mislabel them or you forget to label them or you have volunteers popping up in the garden. So really what this is about is just getting you a little more comfortable and a little connected to these plants after you've planted them and after they've come up, getting to know them a little more. So first, I'm going to introduce you to some plants that are about two and a half weeks old. That's what I'm holding here. And then I'm going to introduce you to some plants that are about four weeks old, which is what I'm holding here. And then I'm going to take you to two of the demonstration gardens I've started. One of them I planted from seed and the other was from transplants, which these are transplants. And of course, everything that I'm working with today are the exact same seeds that you've received in your seed packs. Before getting started, I just want to share one thing and that is, of course, I am going to make mistakes. Some people look at me as this extremely experienced gardener who maybe they assume knows everything, but I do not know everything. I have been gardening for five years. I've even grown and foraged 100% of my food for a year. So yes, I do have a lot of experience with plants, but I forget things. I'm constantly learning and I'm excited to share that because I actually still remember what it's like to be a beginner gardener. Five years ago, I didn't I didn't know what these looked like when they were babies. And so I'm excited to be able to, yes, have quite a bit of knowledge, but also to be a humble beginner gardener like you with you and be able to share in that way. So please be patient with me. I'm going to make some mistakes, but I am definitely going to lead you towards more success in the garden. And if you make some mistakes and we make some mistakes together, that's great because making mistakes is how you become an experienced gardener. So first we have radish and radish is one of the fastest growing. So it's going to be one of the bigger ones. You have these first little leaves that come out. These are not true leaves. These are the first like little seedling leaves. And as a beginner myself, sometimes I don't remember the names of everything. It doesn't matter. These are the first leaves that come out as they come up from seed. But then you have the first true leaves and with radish, that's going to be these kind of fuzzy leaves. Some leaves are fuzzy, some aren't. I can feel on this one right here a good amount of fuzz. So that's radish here. Next is turnip. Turnip is definitely similar to radish. It comes out with these first leaves and then you have the first true leaves, which also are kind of fuzzy as well. Radish is the purple top globe turnip. The purple top globe turnip has these purplish stems that you can see as well. So that's turnip. Next we have onion or bunching onion. And this is one of the ones that people know a lot. You can actually see the little seeds are still up here on top of a lot of them. They'll fall off eventually. You have these little green stems and you could actually eat one of these at this point. This is an edible green onion and if you taste it it's onion. So you can also identify these seedlings by how they taste. You can taste all of these seedlings except the flour mix and you probably could taste that too. And actually be able to tell what it is by taste as well, especially with onion. So speaking of tasting basil, if you eat one of your little, let me just go ahead and do it. Here's a little basil seedling and you can see I pulled it up by the root. You see the little roots going on there. Can you see that? Nice. So this is a little basil seedling and I'm going to go ahead and munch this. At that point it almost had a little bit of like in a licorice flavor but this one is indeed the Italian basil. Now there are four or five varieties of basil in the basil pack. This particularly is the Italian one because I separated some of them out. But this is your basil.  I wish you could smell it. Okay next is chives and the chives is a mixture of garlic chives and your standard chives. Again looks very similar to onion. They're in the same family, alliums.  And the chives in my general view tend to be a little smaller than the onions but they do look very similar. So this is one you want to clearly label if you want to be able to tell. And they do have different spacing. So yes you definitely want to clearly label your chives and your onions. So that is your chives. Next another one that you could very easily identify by taste. Dill tastes the same here as it does later. Maybe a little stronger. So dill has these first leaves that come up that are these sort of land seal it like pointed leaves. The first leaves that come out are leaves that look like dill. Let me give one of these a little taste. Ooh that's dilly. Very. So that's dill. It's more of an upright, more thin as it starts to come out. And again all these ones that I'm showing you are about two and a half weeks old. That's going to vary depending on where you are. I'm here in warmer Florida. So now we have kale and there's three types of kale. So kale again has these initial first leaves that come out to gather some sun for energy. And then it puts out these leaves that very much look like kale leaves. So these are a little bit fuzzy as well. But I may as well go ahead and show you. There are three varieties of kale mixed into your pack. And this here is the white Russian kale. And this here is the Lasinato or dinosaur kale. And you can see the difference. But they can grow all the same. You don't have to be able to separate them out. I just did this because I'm learning and I want to be able to show you the different ones. But these come together in a mix. So that's kale. Next we have arugula. This is another brassica. So it comes out with these original young leaves. At that point it's really hard to tell those apart. But arugula starts to look like a mini arugula. So this little leaf. Let's see if we can see that. Can you see that? So that's a little baby arugula leaf. Very good. So that's arugula. And arugula is a very fast growing one. Next these are mustard greens. They do look similar to the arugula as well. At two and a half weeks you're really starting to see these are mustards though. You have the distinct mustard leaf as compared to the other ones. And because I'm tasting them I may as well go ahead and taste this as well. Yeah I just got the mustard flavor. So that is mustard. Okay next we have the flower mix. And so this is a mix I believe of 19 different flowers. The beneficial insect attractant mix. And so you'll see different ones popping up and I do not know the flowers really well yet. I've grown them before but I'm going to be learning them more as you're learning them right now with me. And the flower mix comes up with numerous different flowers in here. One of the mixes in here includes cilantro. So you may get a cilantro in your mix which is beautiful. And I see at least three or four different species growing in here. But this is what your flower mix will look like as it's coming up. And then lastly you have your herb mix. So you've got chamomile, oregano, and lemon balm. So this one right here that's popping up. What do you think that is? I'll give you a second. Chamomile, lemon balm, or Greek oregano. So this is chamomile. And chamomile is the fastest growing of the three. If you look in here you'll see that's either lemon balm or oregano down at the bottom. I can tell them apart by taste but not by sight. White yet when they're that small. But once they get bigger you can start to tell them apart. And you can see a slightly bigger one in there. And that's got to be lemon balm. Yup, that one right there is the lemon balm surrounded by the chamomile. Alright and then lastly we have carrot. And my batch of carrots that I planted the two and a half weeks ago or so did not succeed. So I pulled up a couple just so you can see. It has a similar first leaf coming out just like the dill. And then it has carrot-like leaves coming up. And you're going to see a little bit more carrots in the garden. So you don't have to pay too much attention to this one. It's not as ideal as the others. Okay now I want to go ahead and show you just a quick rundown of all of them lined up together. First we have radish. Now here we have turnip. Next is the bunching onion. Here we have the basil. Here we have chives. Here we have dill. Here we have kale. Here we have arugula. Here we have mustard greens. This is the flour mix. And then we have the herb mix. I wanted to go ahead and show you how much the onions and the chives look alike. Just so you can see that right next to each other. And then here I want to show you the brassicas. So when these five come up out of the ground when they just have those first leaves coming up. Kale, arugula, mustard greens, radish and turnip. They all look very similar first coming up. But as they start to get older they start to have their unique characteristics. As they start to have their first true leaves you start to be able to see the difference between them. So I wanted to show you that again at the beginning first like week, two weeks or so they're going to be very hard to tell apart. But they become easier to tell apart. So now I want to show you a little bit about the different mixtures. And again keep in mind you don't need to know anything about this.  But I'm sharing this in case you'd like to know because there are some benefits to knowing this. So for example in this basil pack there's a four or five different types of basil. And in this kale there's three or so different types of kale. And so you can actually learn to identify the different seedlings. So that way if you want to space them out differently you can. So first I want to go ahead and show you the basil. So come on down here. So first here is the standard Italian basil. You can see the bright greenness of it like you would expect from sort of a standard basil. Next you have your red basil and that's very easy to tell apart. So you can really easily see those popping up side by side within the same pack. And then you have here the Thai basil. At this stage you can see that it's quite a different size. It's got a little bit of a different leaf shape but as these get bigger you'll start to really see those. You can also taste the leaves because Thai basil tastes very different. And then here is the lemon basil. Also looks pretty similar to the Italian basil. But again as this gets bigger you can taste the leaves and you'll be able to tell more. So next I want to show you the garlic chives versus the sort of standard chives. And these here is the pack right here. And what I want to show you is that within this pack you can see there's seeds that are a lot bigger than others. These big seeds are the garlic chives seeds. The small seeds are the sort of regular chives. So you can actually separate those out and plant these separate. Which I would recommend because they do grow differently and they like to have their own patches. But you don't have to. Again you don't have to know or do any of this. But doing that is going to give you patches of two beautifully different plants. And these are perennials so these last a while so it's nice to separate those out if you can. The garlic chives have a bigger round stem at this point. And the other chives are thinner. So you can see that by touch and by sight. Okay next I want to move on to the kale. And you can see the difference between these. Here you have your Toscano or Dinosaur kale or Lassenado kale. Those are three different names for this. You can see it's a smooth green leaf. No hair. And then you move over to the red Russian and the white Russian. These both have hair on the leaves. The white Russian is more of a whitish pinkish stem. And the red Russian has a more closer to red like purplish pink stem. And so you can tell these ones apart. This is two and a half weeks old so you can start to tell them apart if you'd like to. So next we have mustard here. And within the mustard pack there's three different greens. It's so beautiful to have these variations within your garden. So first here actually this is not a mustard but I mixed it in because it grows similarly. This is actually a choy sum which is an Asian green. Kind of like a bok choy or a tatsoi. You can see these smooth green leaves like a bok choy. Moving on you have the mustard. And this is the red mustard first. And you can see these frilly red leaves. The red tinges on the leaves. That's the red versus the green which is similar but just green. So pretty easy to tell apart the three different seedlings within the mustard. Moving on next is the herb mix. Within the herb mix you have chamomile, lemon balm and oregano. Chamomile is very easy to tell apart from the others. Very different from the other two. Now the lemon balm and the oregano. Those are harder to tell apart from each other especially when they're really young. But as they start to get older, moving on, this is the oldest herb mix that I have going. You can see the difference between the chamomile and then that's a lemon balm. And the oregano I'm not seeing separately in here. I think that might be it there on the small bottom. It's the slowest growing but very clear definition between the chamomile and the lemon balm for sure. And lastly I may as well just show you these two different flower mixes. This one is about four weeks old. This one's about three weeks old that I'm holding here. And then this one is more about four or so weeks old. And so you can see this one's larger than the other. Just another opportunity for you to get to familiar as you're seeing them. Get to know them a little bit better.  And so here on the right is arugula. You can see that popping up really starting to look like arugula there. Very clearly looking like arugula. And then here is the mustard. And you can clearly see the green mustard, the green wave mustard versus the choy sum. I'm not seeing any red mustard in here. Somehow those didn't pop up within here. And might as well show you.  If you're using live compost you're going to get different seeds popping up in here. So come on back down. You'll see here's another tomato that's popped up. If you get plants like this you can totally transplant them here. This is some sort of cucumber or squash most likely that has popped up as a volunteer in the compost that I'm using. So I'm really excited to have shown you all of that. I hope that seeing all those examples is really helpful to you and not overwhelming. There's a lot here. Again you don't have to know all of it. I went into some detail because I really wanted you to just see these different examples all again from inside the seed pack so you can just really get to know these seeds. And definitely feel free to go back through this video and pause on the different sections. Now I want to show you the gardens which I want to say I'm more excited about but equally excited about to see them in the garden in their very young stage. So let's head to the first demonstration garden which is about three feet from where I am right now. Welcome to the demonstration garden. So here everything that I planted is two weeks ago. So I planted everything from seed, seed directly into the garden two weeks ago. And now I want to give you have you have the opportunity here to see all the different seeds sown directly into the garden.  So come on down. So here is radish and you can see very similar to what we had over there. You got your first two leaves have come out a few days maybe close to a week ago already. So beautiful radishes. These are going to be one of the larger of all of them. They're the quickest growing. So now we can come on over to turnip. Here we have the turnips. So you have the leaves that the true leaves have come out the first leaves here. These are the true leaves. So there you have radish or sorry turnip. I often do that and then coming on over. We'll see the carrot next. So we have carrot here and this is a great example. You can see these more pointed leaves and then this one's just starting to have the true leaves coming out in here that are quite small. There you have carrot. So you can see here that is not a carrot. That is a tomato that's a volunteer from the compost. I'm going to pull that out because that would take over half of this garden and there is plenty of tomatoes. Now you have arugula. Arugula is another fast growing one and you can see the row here of arugula coming up and moving on. We have mustard. So we've got here I can see this is one of the choice some. Here we have the red mustard and we have a green mustard here. So you have all three varieties of mustard that are popping up here and then moving over here. This is the flour mix. So you can see quite a few different things popping up in here. Now this one's a little bit trickier of one because you won't be able to tell weeds in the other one you can easily tell but I can tell you this is a tomato. So I'm going to take that out. This is a tomato and you can tell a tomato because it smells like tomato. So you can crush a leaf and you can really tell that's a tomato. It's got this fuzzy fuzziness as well. Yes tomato and here is another tomato. So I went and pulled those out. This here not a tomato. No fuzziness. So that is the flour mix here. This is a one by one little patch of flour mix. So here we have the dill and you can see this row of dill popping up and similar to what you were seeing before. The first leaves coming out and then the first true leaves are this dill leaf. You can see some other seedlings that have popped up in here and those are going to get pulled out most likely. Those are from the compost. So continuing on over here. Yes now this is the basil very small at this point but I see some purple basils here and some green ones. So you've got the variety of different ones coming up. And then here now we have kale. So we have a row. There's about eight or so kale here and I can see this is a lassenado or dinosaur it looks like. And then this is one of the red Russian or white Russians. It's got the more like indented leaves and the fur on it. And then coming over here this is you clearly you've got your onions. So we've got a row of onions here. And then last if you just swing over a little bit this is the this is the chives and the chives in this this time aren't really popping up much. You can see a couple chives popping up here but you also see some you know non chive things that will get weeded out. I'm guessing they'll pop up but the chives really haven't popped up here yet. So this is the second garden that I want to show you and these are from transplant. So I planted these into trays and pots or actually just trays and they grew for about four weeks. Then I transplanted them and now these have been here for around a week week and a half. And so you're going to get to see them a little bit bigger. So come on over first I'm going to show you the flour mix and here is some of the flour mix here. There's three little patches from the little pots. Actually I can see here's a cilantro that popped up because a cilantro is part of the flour mix. Now I planted these two close together. You can see this and I'll talk about that a little bit at the very end of the video. Coming over here is chives. So you can see these aren't much bigger than the other ones. This one's starting to have its fourth leaf though coming up. So there's chives and then just behind here are the onions. So very similar looking to chives again and these are starting to have more leaves. They're coming along. Alright if you want to continue on right here there's some radishes there for you. Much bigger. These are again one of the fastest growing.   They're nice dilly type leaves. And this one already has, ooh that one's got six, seven leaves on it. So that's starting to get more mature. Alright if you want to come back out. So while we're here actually my friend Albert planted some of the seeds before I came down. And so we've got some mature mustards here that you can see. This is the green mustard and then we have the red mustard here. So you can see the frilly green and the red mustard from the mix. And I'm not seeing any of the choy sum in here. But there's two of the mustards and then of course here we've got carrots. And I cannot help but nope I'm going to save pulling that up till a little bit later. Alright so here we have basil. This is a very exciting little section of basil here. You can see we only have one red one. Not a whole lot of red ones came up in here. And then you can see the real basil leaf coming out here. That's just a you know typical Italian basil leaf.  And then but see the difference between this and coming over here.  See how this leaf has got some purple forming on it. And it's got these serrated leaves quite a fair bit different. So that is your Thai basil right there. So I can see three different basils. I'll give you a moment. What do you think these are over here? What do you think this is? This is oh I can smell it from here. This is arugula. There's two different arugulas in here. And this is older mature arugula that from the pack that had been planted before. Okay now we're coming over here to the mustard section. So here you can see a choy sum that's getting quite a bit bigger. You can see these nice whole leaves. And then here you can see the green mustard. The frilliness to it. And then here is a red mustard. So you can see the three different mustards in here. And back here is the what you just saw. This is the arugula one of my favorites. So you can see looks like there's two different varieties of arugula in here. It will vary from year to year. But you've got what looks to be two different varieties. One with a more indented leaf and lobed leaf. And one that's a little more whole. A couple more plants to show you. Here we've got some kale's. So we have some of the russian kale's in here. I'm not seeing any of the lasanado. Didn't end up in this little patch. But there's your kale about five weeks old. And then the last little section I see we have a surprise. That is one of my biggest challenges. And the squirrels have been in here digging. And they've really done a number on my chamomile here. I'm going to go ahead and just rebury these. They are still going to be alive. But it's a struggle that I have here. The squirrels just come in digging around. And it's juggling. So here a little further back we have our carrots. And now you can see a real nice example of young carrots. And the very clear carroty leaves. And then here we have our turnips. So there we have turnips. Okay so there's just a few things that I would like you to keep in mind. And that is this lesson was really just to show you the young plants. The little babies, the seedlings. Not to look at that and say that's how yours should look at the same amount of time. We all have our own growing conditions. And so I really just want to hit that home that you're just really learning the plants here. This was not like here's how to plant. Or what to transplant and what to put directly in the ground. So don't like learn from that. There's other classes that are exactly for those things. A couple of things I want to say about that. I'm in Florida. It's the winter here which is our prime growing season for annuals. This is kind of like growing in the late spring or the early summer in the northern climate. So if you're growing in the very early spring you're going to have plants generally growing a lot slower than this. The other big thing is just because I have it in a pot doesn't mean that you'll put it into a pot. A lot of them like your radishes and your turnips and your carrots. Those are generally going to be directly transplanted or directly planted. Direct sown into the ground. I planted everything into pots just to be able to show it to you. So you're going to watch the video about direct seeding versus transplanting to get that information. Not from the pots that I showed you today. Also I transplanted some into my garden not at the most ideal time. So again just because I transplanted it after a certain number of weeks isn't the ideal. And the guide teaches you the exact ideals as well as the video section on that. So on that note I'm so glad to have been able to introduce you to the plants a little bit more through this little lesson on seedlings and young plants. And I hope that by watching this and by connecting with this you know the plants a little more. You feel a little more comfortable in the garden and it'll help you on this journey to growing your own food to connecting to your food to breaking free from the global industrial food system and connecting more deeply with your community and yourself. See you in the next class.


Hello everyone. I'm Audrey Tang, Taoist Digital Minister in charge of social innovation. I'm grateful to the organizer for letting me participate through this pre-recorded video on this important event. I'm also glad to be invited by Ramona from Share4Impact to welcome all of you to join the Y22 Women's International Showcase of Entrepreneurs Day in Taipei. Share4Impact is one team based here in the social innovation lab. It's established the October 2017 through co-creation with more than 100 social innovators in which was used to be a Air Force military zone. Now it is at the heart of Taipei dedicated for the social sector. And so the spirit of social innovation is combining the cutting-edge technological innovations and science discoveries with the spirit to solve the social environmental and cultural economic common issues together. Anyone who works toward the global goals of sustainable development have the opportunity here to connect and create a better life together. For this event, women have always played a leadership role in Taiwan's history, and recently our president Dr. Tsai Ing-wen showed that women leader can lead the social change through important reforms. And so I'm happy that the Y24 Day encouraged people to share what you have learned and contribute your own strengths to the wider community. And finally, I would like to wish everyone to find an interest in your life and contribute to the common good regardless of your biology. And I also wish this event a smooth and successful one. Thank you.
