Now, bringing something on tourism, it contributes greatly to the gross domestic product GDP of Nigeria. Therefore, more support must be given to the sector by the federal government that will maximally reap its benefits. The special advisor to Governor Samoho Lu on tourism, arts and culture, Solomon Bonham, stated this during a tourism event in Lagos. Nigeria, no doubt, has the potentialities required for tourism development. These are noticeable in natural features, land formations, man-made creativities, artifacts and divergent culture. Secoders believe that the industry can contribute more to the country's GDP more than is currently doing if we are harnessed. The special advisor to Samoho Lu on tourism, arts and culture, Solomon Bonham, says the Samoho Lu government has done a lot to develop the sector in Lagos State as a potent location for African and Black cultural identity. The sector was one of the industries badly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Secoders say, in spite of that, the industry is still thriving. Tourism was badly hit by the pandemic, but it is not to say that it has really dragged it to the background. But in spite of the normity of the pandemic, a lot was still achieved. The previous year, like 2020-2021, we are affected with the pandemic that just happened, but as time goes on, things are coming up and tourism is moving forward in Nigeria and in Lagos. They submitted that the sector is not out of the woods yet and wants more awareness to be created for citizens to maximize the benefits derived from tourism. What we can only encourage government to do is to continue to put in their weight behind tourism. We want the government, if they can encourage tourism in Nigeria, it will definitely be a good thing because when you go for tourism, when you go outside, it will be refreshed. They called on the federal government to address the issue of insecurity in parts of the country, in order not to leave the huge potential of tourism untapped.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Chicago. The Cube is live on the floor at AnsibleFest 2022, the first in-person Ansible event that we've covered since 2019. Lisa Martin here with John Furrier. John, great to be here. There's about 1400 to 1500 people here in person. The partner ecosystem is growing and evolving and that's going to be one of the themes of our next conversation. Cloud scale is continuing to change the ecosystem and this segment with AWS is going to be awesome. Exactly, we've got one of our alumni back with us, Stephanie Cheers joins us again. Senior Vice President, Partner Ecosystems Success at Red Hat and Mansi Jagannatha is also here, Global Alliance Manager at AWS. Ladies, welcome to the program. Thank you. Nice to be here. So some exciting news that came out. First of all, it was great to see you on stage. Thank you. In front of a live audience, the community is, you talked about this before, we went live, that Ansible is nothing if not the community. So I can only imagine how great that felt to be on stage in front of the live bodies, announcing the next step with Ansible and AWS. Tell us about that.  And I remember the first Ansible Fest I came to, it's just this electric feeling born out of the community, born out of collaboration and getting together feeds that collaboration in a way that nothing, like nothing else. Can't do it by video alone. You cannot. And so it was so fun because today was big news. We announced that Ansible will be available through the AWS marketplace, the next step in our partnership journey. And we've been hearing like most of our announcements, we do these because customers ask for them. And that's really what is key. And the combination of what Red Hat brings to the table and what AWS brings to the table, that's what underpins this announcement this morning. Talk about it from a customer demand perspective and how you're not only meeting customers where they are, but you're speaking their language. Yeah. There's a couple of aspects. And then I want to pass it to Monzi because nothing speaks better than a customer experience. But the specifics I think of what come together is this is where technology, procurement experience, accessibility all come together. And it took both of us in order to do that. But we actually talked about a great example today. The TransUnion. So we have TransUnion. They are a credit reporting company and they're a joint customer. They use REL, they use AWS services. So while they were transitioning to the cloud, the first thing they wanted to know was compliance, right? Like how do we have guardrails around compliance? That was a key feature for them. And then the other piece was how do we scale without increasing the complexity? And then the critical piece was, being able to integrate with the depth of AWS services without having to do it over and over again. So what TransUnion did was they basically integrated Ansible Automation Platform with the AWS Cloud Control API that gave them the flexibility to basically integrate with what, 200 plus services. And it's amazing to see them grow over time. You know, what's interesting is that Amazon, obviously cloud has been awesome. We've been covering it since the beginning. DevOps infrastructure as code was the dream. Now it's, Alps says code, you have configuration code before that. As cloud goes next level here, we're starting to see a lot more higher level services on AWS being adopted by customers. And so I want to get into how the marketplace deal works. So what's in it for the customer? Because as they bring Ansible across the enterprise and Edge now, we're seeing that develop. If I'm the customer, am I buying it through the marketplace? What's the mechanics of the deal? Can I just tap into the bill, explain the marketplace workflow or how it works? I'd love to do that. So customers come to the marketplace for three key benefits, right? Like one is the consumption based model. Pay as you go. You can get hourly, annual and spot instances. For some services, you even get per second billing, right? Like that's amazing. That's one. And then the other pieces, John and Stephanie, as you know, customers would love to draw down on their EDPs, right? Like they want a single- EDPs, explain that with acronym. It's enterprise discount program. So they want a single bill where they can use third party services and AWS services. And they don't have to go through the hassle of saying, hey, let me combine all these different pieces. So combining that, and of course the power of Ansible, right? Like customers love Ansible. They've built playbooks. The beauty of it is, whatever you want to build on AWS, there is most likely a playbook or a module that already exists. So they can just tap into that and build into the AWS. And operationally, it's purchasing through marketplace.  And everyone, as Muncie said, everyone loves the technology of Ansible, but the procurement aspect is also so important. And this is where I think this partnership really comes together. It is natively, Ansible is now natively integrated into AWS billing, so one bill.  Now you have a Red Hat subscription. You get all the benefits from Red Hat that comes along with that subscription. But Ansible is all about simplicity. This brings simplicity to that procurement model, and it allows you to scale within your AWS cloud environment that you have set up. And as Muncie mentioned, pull in those other native services from AWS. It's great. It's interesting. One of the things that Buzzword, Lisa and I were just talking in the industry is the word multiplayer. I've heard people say, that's multiplayer software kind of a gaming analogy. But what you guys are doing is setting up, once they go with Ansible in the marketplace, they're just buying as things get more collaborative off the marketplace. So they kind of streamline, if I get this right, the purchasing process. So they're already in, they just use it, it's on the bill. Is that kind of how it works? Absolutely done, yeah. So the customer has a partnership with us, more on the technology side in this particular case, and with AWS and the procurement side. It brings that together. So multiplayer software, is it multiplayer software? We like to talk about multi-partner solutions. And I think this provides a new grounding for other partners to come in and build upon that with their services capabilities, with their other technology capabilities. So we, well, clearly in my world, we talk about multi-partner. Well, what you're doing is empowering the developers. I know that Red Hat has one of its goals, is let's make things much more seamless, much smoother for the developers. As the buyer's journey has changed, and John, you've talked about that quite a bit, you're empowering those buyers to actually have a much simpler streamlined process, and to be able to start seeing automation become democratized across organizations. Yeah. And one of the things I love about the announcement as well is it pulls in the other values of Ansible Automation Platform in that simplicity model that you mentioned with, like things like certified collections. Certified collections that have been built by partners. We have built certified collections to go along with this offering as well as part of the AWS offering. That pulls in these other partner engagements together. And as you said, democratize is not only what we've done together, but what we've done with other partners together. Right. Yeah. What are, can you kind of talk kind of about the depths of the partnership, the co-engineering, and sort of the evolution, and the customer involvement in the expansion of the partnership. I'd love to walk you through that. So we've had a long standing partnership coming up on 15 years now, Stephanie. Can you believe it? I know. 15 years we've been building to give you some historical context, right? And back in 2008, we launched REL. And in 2015, we supported SAP Workloads on REL. And then the list goes on, right? Like we've been launching Graviton instances, ARM instances, Nitro. The key to be noted here is that every new instance launched, REL has always been supported on day one, right? Like that's been our motto. So that's one. And then in 2021, as you know, we launched Rosa Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS. And that's helped customers with their modernization journey to AWS. So that's been context historically around where we were and where we are today. And now with Ansible, it just gives customer another tool in their arsenal, right? And then the goal is to make sure we meet customers where they are, give them all the Red Hat products that they love using on their hybrid workloads. Sounds like a lot is coming, maybe a re-invent too, coming up. Yeah. What's next? This is the beginning, right? We'll continue to grow based upon not only laying the building blocks for what customers can build with, and you mentioned Lisa, right? We follow this journey that Monsi talked about because of what customers ask for. So it's always a new adventure to determine what'll come next based upon what we hear from our joint customers. On that front though, Stephanie, talk about the impact of the broader ecosystem that this is just scratching the surface. One of the things, and we've been going through a whole transformation at Red Hat about how we engage with the ecosystem. We've done organizational shifts. We've done really a complete revamp of how we engage with the ecosystem. One of our biggest focus is to make sure that the partnerships that we have with one partner bring value to the rest of our partners. No better example than something like this. When we work with AWS to create accessibility and capability through a procurement model that we know is important to customers, but that then serves as a launch point for other partners to build certified collections around or now around validated content, which we talked about today at Ansible Fest. That allows other partners to engage and we're seeing a huge amount in services partners, right? Automation is so pervasive now as customers want to go out and scale. We're seeing services partners really come in and help customers go from, it's always challenging when you have a broad set of IT, you have cloud native over here, you have bare metal over here, you have virtual. It's complex. There's sometimes an energy activation barrier to get over that initial automation. We're seeing partners come in with really skilled services capabilities to help customers get over that hump to consolidate with an automation plan. It gets them better equipped to do day one automation and day two automation. And that's where Ansible Automation Platform is going. It's not just about configuration management, it's about day two management as well. Talk about those barriers a little bit more and how Ansible and AWS together are helping customers really knock those out of the park and then they'll baseball reference for you. If you know, we see that a lot of organizations, the skills gap, which we've talked about already on the conversation today, but Ansible is being a facilitator of helping organizations to attract talent, to retain talent, but also customers that maybe don't know where to start or don't know how to determine the ROI that automating processes will bring. How can this partnership help customers knock those out of the park? So I'll start and then I'll pass it to Mansi here, but I think one of the key things in this particular partnership is just plain old accessibility. Accessibility, which Public Cloud has taught the world a new way to get fast access, that consumption-based pricing. You can get your hands on it, you can test it out, you can have a team go in and test it out and then you can see it's built for scale. So then you can scale it as far as you want to go forward. We clearly have an ecosystem of services partners, so does AWS, to help people then sort of take it to the next level as they want to build upon it, but to me the first step is about accessibility, getting your hands dirty. You can build it into those committed spend programs that you may have with AWS as well to try new things, but it's a great test bed. Absolutely, and then to add to what Stephanie said, together Red Hat and AWS, we have about 100,000 partners combined, like resellers, SIs, GSIs, distributors. So the reach that the combined partnership has just amplifies. It's huge news, I think it's a big deal because you operationalized the heavy lifting of procurement for all your joint customers and the scale piece is huge. So congratulations, I think it's going to make a lot of money for Ansible, so good call there. My question is, as we hear here, the next level's edge. So AWS has been doing a ton of hybrid since outpost announcement years ago. Now you've got all kinds of regional expansions, you've got local zones, you've got all kinds of new edge activity. So are there dots connecting here with Edge, with Red Hat and Ansible? Do you want to? Yeah, so I think we see two trends with our customers, right, like mainly I'm specifically talking about our real customer base on AWS. We have almost hundreds to thousands of customers using RHEL on AWS. These are 90% of Fortune 500 companies use RHEL, right? So with that customer base, they are looking to expand to your point into the Edge, there's outposts, there are so many hybrid environments that they're trying to expand in. So just adding Ansible, RHEL, Rosa, OpenShift, that entire mix just gives customers that the plethora of products they need to run their workloads everywhere, right? Like we have certifications without post, we have certifications with OpenShift, right? So it just completes the puzzle, if you may say. So it's a nice fit. Yeah. It is a really nice fit and, you know, I love Edge, and Edge, once you start going distributed, this automation aspect is key for all the reasons, for security reasons, to make sure you do it the same way every single time. It's just pervasive in it, but things like the Cloud Control API allow it to bridge into things like outposts, it allows a simple way, one clean way to do API, and then you can expand it out and get the value. So this is why you were on stage and you said that Ansible is going to expand the scope to be more enterprise architecture. That's essentially what you're getting at. This is now a distributed computing fabric at Cloud Scale on AWS. That's right. Did I get that right? Yeah, and it touches all the different deployments you may have on-prem, virtual, Cloud Native, you name it. So how do the people turn into architects? This is, again, we had this earlier conversation with Tom, multi-tool players, a baseball analogy I used is like it signifies the best player. Your customers are becoming multiple tool players or operators. The new operator is now the top talent. They got to run Ansible, they got to automate, they got to provide services to the Cloud Native developers. So this new role is emerging. It's not a cloud architect, but it's going to be system architecture wide. What's this new person look like that's going to run all this? I think it's an interesting question. We were talking yesterday, actually, Tom and I were talking with the partners. We had Partner Day, the first ever at Ansible Fest yesterday, which was great, we got a lot of insight. They talked a lot about this platform focus, right? How do customers are looking to create that platform so that the developers can come in and build upon it without compromising what they want to do? So I do think there's a move in that direction to say, how do you create these platforms at a company that no compromises, but it provides that consistency? I would say one thing in partnerships like this, I think customer expectations on the partner ecosystem to have it be trusted is increasing. They expect us, as we've done, to have our engineers roll up their sleeves together to come to the table together. That's going to show up in our curated content. It's going to show up in our validated content. Those are the places, I think, where we come up from the bottom through our partnership and we help bridge that gap. And trust was brought up a number of times this morning during Makina. We're almost out of time here, but I think it's one of those words that a lot of companies use, but I think what you're showing is really the value in it from Ansible's perspective, from AWS's perspective, and ultimately the value in it for the customer. So I got to ask you one final question, and maybe as what we invent is around the corner, what's next for the partnership? Obviously, big news today. I'm already looking down the pipe. What are some of the things that you think are going to become an exit you can share? I mean, at this point, and I'll pass it to Moncie to close us out, but we are continuing to follow, to meet our customers where they want to be. We are looking across our portfolio for different ways that customers want to consume within AWS. We'll continue to look at the procurement models through the partner programs that Moncie and the team have had. And to me, the next step is really bringing in the rest of the ecosystem. How do we use this as a grounding step? Yeah, absolutely. So we are always listening to customer feedback and they want more Red Hat products in the marketplace. So that's where we'll be. In the marketplace. Congratulations, great deal. Yes, great work there, guys. And customers always want more. That's the thing, but that's what keeps us going. So we love it. Absolutely. Thank you so much for joining John and me on the program today. It's been great to have you. And congratulations again. It's a pleasure. Thank you. For our guests and for John Furrier, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE live from Chicago at Ansible Fest 2022. This is only day one of our coverage. We'll be back after a short break for more.


The most intimate of the physicality in the existence is your body. And this body is just a piece of earth.  Right now you're an outcrop who prances around. After sometime, you will become a small mound. You may believe many fancy things about yourself, but that's not the reality. Somehow this fundamental thing that we are just a small outcrop of the soil on which you're sitting right now is forgotten generally till we abide. If you want to live sensibly, you should have contact with the earth that you live on. Today because we have lost this contact in certain ways, it gets disorganized. This disorganization can lead to disease and weakness and ultimately destabilization of the system itself. I must tell you this experience. We had a yogic hospital in our yoga center in India. We called it yogic hospital. We did not want it to grow too much because we don't want to turn into a hospital full time. We are a spiritual center. So we're keeping it low key. Once when I came here, I spoke and a few doctors, American doctors who were interested, they traveled to India. They came and stayed there for three days and after three days, one of the volunteers came and told me all the medical doctors are up in arms. They want to leave. I said, what happened? They said it's best that you meet them. They're just off. Then I said, okay, and I went to meet them. Then I said, what's the problem? They said, you said there is a hospital. Where is a hospital? There is no hospital here. I said right now there are about sixty and odd patients. I said, where is it? Their idea for hospital is that there must be beds. You must treat sick well and everybody should be... If you treat them so well, they will not want to become healthy. Where are the patients? I said, they're all in the garden. I put them to work. We give them the treatment and therapies and medication, but rest of the time I put them to work. Whatever they can do, they must do. Above all, they must sit and work barefoot and bare hands in... with the soil. Just being in touch with the planet because you're just a drop of this planet. You're forgetting that. What you call as my body is just a piece of the planet, isn't it? If you lose connection with the source, will you not get disorganized? Fitness and well-being does not mean walking on a treadmill, having bulging muscles like that. No. To strengthen the integrative elements in our system is very important. So is there some way to do it? Yes, there are specific methods with which we can do. One simple way right now is work with the earth and water and plants and stay outdoors. That itself will do something. So fundamentally, if there is a certain... certain assurance of nourishment happening to the body in terms of food and there's clean air to breathe and being in touch with the earth can complete the health process altogether. So if you can't be in tune with that, if you're a very affluent and fashionable, you can have a mud bath. That's another way. So today you take vacations, go to the spa, have mud bath in a very expensive atmosphere. But every day if you stick your hands into the earth for at least for a few minutes a day, you would see the body would be in a much better condition because whenever it's in contact with the earth, the body reorganizes itself. The more you're in touch with it, it's better. You can't... all of you can't turn into farmers now and maybe you're living on the 12th floor and you can't be a gardener either. So at least being in touch with the earth, palms and soles are very sensitive to this. If your hands and your bare feet in contact with the earth, it'll make a difference. Or at least you do your... I don't recommend this, but if you're doing your afternoon sister, do it under a tree. With your spine in contact with the earth, things will happen very well. Or to be in a natural pool of water, which is in the earth, like a lake or a river or an ocean, we'll do tremendous things to the system. You know the grounding, you know? The electricity groundings we do, is it called grounding here? What do you call it? It's called earthing or grounding, you know? It's called earthing actually. So when you earth the electrical connections, one thing is to keep it wet. Because if it is wet, it gets conducted better. So this is why in all the Indian temples, why do you think people are making their bodies wet and lying down on the floor in prostration is just this, not just earthing, that special earth where which is energized earth around.  So men go bare-bodied, at least their upper body is bare, women go with wet clothes so that that contact is there. This contact with nature, whether it's earth or air or water is most important. If that is not there, the body will slowly lose its integrity. It'll lose its stability. It loses many abilities that it is capable of. It may still survive, it may not die tomorrow morning, but it loses its variety of capabilities that it has come with. The many possibilities, the array of possibilities that human system carries is lost as you lose contact with the natural element. Especially before you go for dinner or for lunch, especially before that, at least for half an hour, walk without footwear, not on this granite, either in the grass or in the mud outside. You will see body being in touch with the earth, when you eat the food that you eat, the way it integrates it is very different. Digestion will anyway happen, but how much you can integrate into the system depends on how much you're in tune with the earth. So even half an hour, if you walk without shoes or footwear and the body remains in touch with the earth, you will see the elements will function with little more integrity than the way it is right now. Walking and playing barefoot is really coming into vogue. The yogic systems have always recommended this and now science is getting there too. Especially for children, not only does this give them better balance, it also helps develop their cerebral capabilities. The nerves of the feet are sensitive and as they come in contact with the ground, the child develops a better understanding of their environment and also experiences better awareness of the body. Walking barefoot has been linked to better agility, stronger leg muscles and lower risk of injury. Being in touch with the earth has many other aspects to it. In the ashram, I always told people, no matter what work you're doing, at least for one hour a day, you must stick your fingers into the earth. You do something with the garden somewhere, your hands should get muddy. This will build a natural physical memory in you, a bodily memory in you that you are mortal. Every day, if you're sticking your hands into the earth, you will constantly, your body will know that it's not permanent because a body has a memory of its own. It's body's memory far more significant than the mental memory. Right now, the memory that your body carries is ruling you far more than the memories of your mind. Physiologically, on the cellular level, on the elemental level, you're constantly being reminded that you're mortal if you're close to the earth. See, the reminder of your mortality is the most key element in your spiritual process. Why would you long to know something beyond the body? Only because you know it will end one day, isn't it?   If this was immortal by itself, isn't it? Because somewhere, even if you're not consciously aware, somewhere deep down, you know your expiry date is on. The expiry date is on, you're trying to stretch it a bit, but you know you have an expiry date. It is because of that the longing to know, isn't it? So the fundamentals of spiritual process is your mortality. If you're reminded of your mortality, naturally you will want to know. There are various practices in India as to how to connect to the earth experientially, many, many practices. Just sitting down cross-legged on the floor, the body in some way experientially is reminded. There is a reminder for the body that this is just this. The moment it is in touch with the earth, it knows it is this.  Just that much. Just maybe eighteen inches away you are, just get eighteen inches closer. You will see it will make a big difference in terms of reorganizing the system. I would say eighty percent of your health depends on this, how much you're in tune with the earth. Eighty percent. Eighty percent of your chronic ailments can just vanish simply because you kind of found a little rapport with the earth on which you're walking or sitting right now. One simple practice that all of you can start is the Bhuta Shuddhi, if you have the time and the necessary focus to do it. Bhuta Shuddhi means, you know, Bhuta means Panchabhutas or the five elements. Shuddhi means to cleanse that. Whether it is the physical body or the larger body of the creation itself, essential is made of five elements of earth, water, fire, air, space. What you call as myself is just a message of these five elements. If you know how to organize these five elements properly, if you know how to keep these five elements within yourself, then there is nothing more to life in terms of health, well-being, perception, knowing, everything, enlightenment. Everything is handled if only you know how to keep these five elements properly. These elemental play happens in a different way when it's in touch with the earth. Every time I hear this, particularly when I'm in United States, I still can't come to terms with it. People calling earth as dirt, maybe it's just another word, but in our mind dirt means what? What is dirt for you? Huh? Trash, isn't it? Dirt is trash, isn't it? Yes or no? Even in America dirt is trash? No? What is it? Something that you don't want. Yes. It's trash. That's what is trash, something that you don't want. But soil, here we call it thai man, mother earth. Why is it we are not reverential to all those things which make our life, sustain our life, moment to moment? You just treat them differently. Suddenly they behave differently within you. If you did not drink water for three days, even if God comes you'll only ask for water.  Fresh air, isn't it? One simple thing that everybody can do is the air that they breathe, the water that they drink, the food that they eat and the earth that they walk upon and the space which holds us. Five times a day let's say if you are too preoccupied, at least three times a day, consciously just bring a certain sense of reverence. This is a very common thing which are being told, matru prema, pitru prema, this one, that one. Prithvi prema. That is love for the planet on which you're walking because that's not different from you.


All right our first spin on the playoff wheel Well, it's just luck. So it's the only time I don't want like an insane amount. Oh push out Stats wheel 93. Okay, so the stats wheel I have to buy one player who has this exact stat at 93 That said stats wheel 93. So I get one player with exactly 93 elusiveness. I'm gonna have to use my boy mudhead for this one. Oh my god.   Let's go and dude. I don't have to tap into my super ratchet amount of coins All right, I'm gonna try out Jerry Rice at This wide receiver and then I'll put Randy at my slot. This is nuts Bro, look at this receiving court George Kittle Odell Randy Moss Jerry Rice. I just completely nutted Oliver everything Additionally guys today I wanted to talk about some stuff that's coming up in rage shadow legends that game I was talking about a few videos ago Now if you somehow missed it last time raid is a brand new completely free to play mobile RPG This game is so much fun. I got way too addicted to it and played it for like six hours straight But you know what? I'm happy about it. It's got an awesome storyline Super good 3d graphics for phones.

All right My goal is to shell out this last 120k right here So hopefully we get something good enough that promo boss jackpot. Oh my god fight So close Alexa's gonna pick a 92 92 for us, which is still really good, but Let's uh, let's see how it goes. Okay. What can I use here? Honestly a detackle a detackle or like a center right guard left guard Would be pretty clutch Alexa Pick a number one through ten Here's a number between one and ten.  Are you kidding? She actually picked the detackle Lawrence guy. His name is Lawrence guy. Are you kidding me?  So That's gonna be tough, but I'm gonna try my hardest to do it. All right boys. We're playing cake man What do you got for me cake man? He's got Kyler Murray It's kind of scary, but I think we'll be all right. Hey, it's giving me a good day boys We got the lions unis. I'm kind of scared.  All right boys. Let's see.  Oh my god.  All right seven is zero dude. It's 13 seconds to score.  This looks like a hat bag wheeled me. Oh, he throws underneath dangerous Come on. Come on. Let's clamp him.  Why wouldn't you throw to the wide open guy 14 is zero 14 is zero.

Good afternoon, everyone, and good morning. Thank you for joining us as we kick off Small Business Week. We're so happy to have you, and we're so happy about the activities that the City of Columbia is going to be doing this week. I'm going to turn it over now to the mayor. Thank you. Good afternoon. Welcome. What a beautiful day. Excited here to be joined by the chamber, our city center partnership, our small businesses to celebrate Small Business Week. As you know, we've adopted the Open for Business slogan, and that means we're open for investments. We're open for ideas, and we're open for innovation. But what we really want to do is support all of our small businesses throughout our community. Doesn't matter what corner you're in, we want to make it easy for you to make an investment and to start your dream. And to be quite honest, since January, we've had 384 small businesses apply for small business licenses in Columbia. So there's a lot going on in every category that you could think of from professional services to hospitality, to consulting, to small retail. So we're really excited about what's going on here in Columbia. And obviously, we have our economic development office, our Office of Business Opportunity, all here to help us take all the opportunities that we have available, bundling them up and helping you start your business. So we're really excited about that opportunity. And as we know, we have to start off our day with proclaiming Small Business Week 2022. We have a proclamation that we'll present. We'll present this to Melissa and to Matt and Carl and Scott Middleton, who's here today. This is a proclamation declaring this Small Business Week in Columbia, South Carolina. So we encourage everyone today and the rest of the week to spend time supporting our small businesses and continuing to allow them to grow and prosper here in our community. So people come from all over to build small businesses in Columbia, and we're so excited about that. As you know, small business and what's great about South Carolina is a Palmetto State. We have more women-owned businesses than any. We're in the top five of women-owned businesses in the country. So I'm proud to be in the top five. And we have obviously more women-owned businesses in Columbia growing every day. We witnessed that on two-notch road. We've witnessed that on Greystone. We've witnessed that on Colonial Life. And of course, on Main Street, just the other day as we celebrated Uncle Willie's opening. As a small business owner, I have been through the difficulties. I understand what it takes and the risk. And we're always the last ones to get paid and the first ones through the door. But there's a thrill and excitement of being an entrepreneur and how that grows in the role model that you show. So every time we have a business opening here in Columbia, we're excited about it because it shows folks there are opportunities here. And we're gonna continue to take the hurdles out of the way to make it simple and easy for you to chase your dreams in Columbia, South Carolina. With that, I'd like to turn it over to Carl Blackstone. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And on behalf of the chamber, we appreciate you very much. You recognize in Small Business Week, and this is one of the highlights every year to really, I mean, we spend a lot of time talking with small business owners around this community. And the fact that we get to recognize them this the first week of May is important. South Carolina is special in the sense that we have over 445,000 small businesses across the state. 99% of South Carolina businesses are small businesses. Now, it's the lifeblood of our community. It's the backbone, and we've talked about that for a long time, but it's important that we recognize them. It's important that we value them and spend time, money with these small businesses in this community. And so as we look to continue to grow, as the mayor said, and we're thrilled that we're open for business, South Carolina, small businesses, we've seen an increase of over 30% over the last two decades. That's the largest increase anywhere in the country. So South Carolina is a great place to do business. Columbia is a fantastic place to work, live, and play. And so we celebrate with the mayor, with our friends here to recognize small businesses and please go out and support them this week. Thanks. Turn it over to Matt. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor and Carl for all the great work you do for this community. And what a beautiful day it is on Main Street. Main Street, Columbia, really is the best of Main Street, America. It's very exciting to see the small businesses that are able to start small and grow and thrive and prosper in our community, largely because of some of the comments the mayor made about how the city is there to support them and to help them with their growth. The last couple of years have been tough. It's been a rough patch for some of our small business, but the resilience and the flexibility of our merchants has been incredible. Scott Middleton is here with us today and I think he's gonna say a couple of words after I do, but Scott and his companies are just a great example of how you can thrive and change and be flexible. You know, if going left doesn't work, you go right and they do something else and they do it so well. And that's just an example of what we've seen in Columbia in the past few years. We did have a few businesses close over the past couple of years, but we actually had more open than closed and that's just wonderful and we're very proud of that. So I just wanted to recognize the small businesses today and thank you for making our community and our Main Street what it is. Thank you very much, Scott. This year, the city will recognize five local businesses during the small business week and obviously the first one we wanna recognize and local businessman, Scott Middleton. Scott, please join me. You know, Scott only has an investment. We're gonna rename the 1600 block, the Middleton block. As you look around, we have the main course. We have the grand. We have smoked. We have, I'm drawing a blank. Good life cafe. Good life cafe. There's so many businesses over here along with my position's office, which is right down here. You haven't been there, revived, but also their corporate offices are all here located. They have made an investment, but what's great about that investment is, is they've done it through, mainly through food and music, my two favorite things in the world. As my grandmother said, between food at the table, you can talk about any issue with anybody because people are happy when their stomach's full. And Scott has had a found a way to bring everybody together. This is a great example of how our community is a whole, diversity all the way across. The board comes here into our 1600 block and takes advantage of the great entertainment opportunities and dining opportunities that are here. And with that, Scott, we wanted to give you a proclamation today for the main course. And y'all have to excuse me, I gotta hold it out here because I want my glasses, but the main course was established in 2020 and is known for providing popular culinary favorites and exclusive family fun for all ages.  Scott Middleton, the owner of main course is innovative entrepreneur that has greatly contributed to the restoration and vibrant architectural and entrepreneurial spirit of the city. And I think that's a very important part. The entrepreneurial and architectural preservation and experiences because that's what you see on Main Street, a mix of not only old buildings, but new investment. And that's what we're looking through across our city. So with that, I wanted to recognize the main course is our 2022 small business spotlight honoree and congratulate you on your continued success. Thank you much. And I'd be reminisced if before I let Scott take the podium if we didn't go ahead and talk to about, it's not just investment downtown that Scott and their family are doing, they're working on a brewery in North Main in an old historic warehouse, stone manufacturing, the place that made the first boxers with elastic band, just so I do know my history there, which was incredible, but they're making a tremendous investment there that only gonna provide jobs, but entertainment, but allowing us to grow our city down the Main Street corridor into North Main and really bringing a boost to the economy in that area. With that, Scott? Well, thank you. Thank you, I appreciate this so much. You know, and even though we have a lot of businesses, they're all very small businesses and all very local and are run local by each and every one. But I will say that as a small business owner, the one thing that I have always learned is that you have to be able to move very quickly based on what's going on in the marketplace and what's going on in the city. So when we came down in 2014 and renovated this building standing behind us, it was actually corporate offices. It was office complex and we brought in a small restaurant, Michael's Cafe and Catering that struggled quite a bit because there was just nothing else on this block and we knew that in order for that restaurant to be successful and to have what we would, we'd have to continue to renovate across the way. But we've gone from having a pharmacy and a small cafe in here to having two beautiful stages for live music that take place almost every single day and the Players Club on the third and fourth floor of the building where we actually play golf almost every single day, I'm up there with somebody and we're doing virtual golf right here in downtown Main Street. So just say, we appreciate the creativity of all the small businesses, get out there, you work hard, you live hard and I think you've got a successful life. And so I just wanna thank the city, the chamber, but also city center partnership for all that they've done to be able to encourage the small businesses here and to support us and to help us to continue to grow. So thanks Daniel, we appreciate it much. The other business that we're highlighting during our 2020 Small Business Week celebration on Thursday, May 5th will be Ms. Karen of Karen's Kitchen and Catering. If you haven't had Ms. Karen's food, hold on, give her a call. I'm telling you, you'll wanna know how do I get home and take a nap because it's so good. Mr. Dionne from Seven Sunday Live, who has, what a great individual that I've learned to get to know over these months and I know he does a lot of production here at the main course, but he's been doing projects with the city and very innovative production gentlemen who, his ideas are incredible and I think you're gonna see a lot of great things coming from him. Lance Brown, you know, here we are, Rhino Medical, a company that came in in the middle of the pandemic, found a need and has created national attention, was one of the few places that you actually could go find a home test and had it available to the general public if they wanted one or 20 with no limits and really has made a big difference. And we thank you Lance for his continued investment in our community. And Mr. Landry Phillips of the Regal Lounge, these are five outstanding businesses that define Colombia and we need to continue to support them. So don't hold back, take this week.  And with that, I will hand it over to Ms. Lindler to wrap us up. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And I'm just gonna close it out. Thank you again for coming. There's still opportunities for everyone to enjoy Small Business Week as the mayor said, make sure you shop local, go out to eat. Some of us probably do that more than we shop, but enjoy our local businesses. They're here, they're thriving. We have our Small Business Week celebration on Thursday at the Medallion Center. It starts at 11 o'clock and it's not too late to register. You can go to our website at www.obo.citycolumbiasc.gov, sorry, obo.columbiasc.gov. And you can also call us at<PHONE_NUMBER> if you want to register and we'll register you. So thank you so much. Have a great day.


Your Excellency, the former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and chairman of this occasion, Chief Ulusha Gumobasanjo, GCFR, Director, Yaba College of Technology, Engineer, Femio Mokungwe, the governing council of the Yaba College of Technology, academic and non-academic staff, members of the Alumni Association, public and private sector partners, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen. Institutions of higher learning are to all intents and purposes designed to guide and nurture a society's pathway into the future. They are the proving ground for our best ideas, the birthplaces of innovation and groundbreaking research. But research and inquiry may lead to revolutionary discovery or lead nowhere at all. Either way, the process is expensive and can only depend on large sums of patient capital. So the problem always is how do you fund world-class relevance cutting-edge higher education sustainably? The question has even greater resonance in Africa, where public resources are low and the poverty levels put access to quality education beyond the reach of many. From the moment our government assumed office in 2015, we resolved to increase education funding. So year on year, we increased budget allocation. We took capital allocation for education up to 35.99 billion naira in 2016. We stretched it further to 56.81 billion in 2017. By 2018, we had increased capital budget allocations for the sector to 102.9 billion naira. And the trajectory has remained upward. But clearly, these allocations are not enough. And they cannot be. It is unrealistic to rely on public finance alone for higher education, especially in a country the size of Nigeria. Much wealthier countries than ourselves do not leave funding for higher education to government. There must be robust private sector interventions that are visionary in their approach. It's no mistake that one of the largest economies in the world, and arguably the most technologically advanced, the United States of America, also has some of the best and most prestigious universities. American colleges and universities have been sustained and supported by endowments for over 200 years. The total value of Harvard University's endowment in its 2020 fiscal year was 42 billion US dollars. Yale University was 31 billion US dollars. Stanford University, 29 billion US dollars. These endowments have been at the heart of some of the most important discoveries in science and medicine and education and the arts. Yapa College of Technology is, in my view, one of the best institutions to use as proof of the concept that we can indeed develop world-class higher institutions for innovation and research using both private and public sector finance. This is a great institution. It was imagined to be at the forefront of producing the technical talent needed to drive the industrialization of a nation confidently coming into its own. And this is a responsibility that Yaba Tech has shouldered admirably for decades, equipping thousands of young people in engineering and applied sciences in fine arts and the performing arts. Many of her alumni have gone on to attain local and international recognition. It is also perhaps the first tertiary institution to intentionally establish the crucial link with the innovation and commerce ecosystem by the creation of the Center for Entrepreneurship Development. Indeed, a connection which is not often made, but which I believe is valid, is the success of the Yaba innovation and technology community in Lagos, which is widely known and referred to as the Silicon Valley of Nigeria due to the concentration of technology and innovation companies within that Yaba environment. I think it's the case that a lot of the tech startups from that vicinity have grown and flourished into highly profitable businesses. Some of these businesses are taking the status of unicorns which are companies worth over a billion US dollars because of the highly skilled graduates in modern technology and management and other fields of study that have come out of Yaba Tech. So the 50 billion ambition of this endowment fund, in my view, mirrors your vision for this great institution and demonstrates your keen awareness of what is truly at stake. And we must approach this with a sense of mission and duty. We must augment the government's finest intentions with our individual and collective desire to see us do better, to see Africa do better, to see our children step into the global arenas of enormous and unprecedented opportunities. One thing is clear. Young Nigerians will always rise to the stature of the challenges that the world presents them, and even beyond, so long as we continue to provide a platform for them to stand on. This is the opportunity that we have to reach across our extensive alumni networks and rally the best of us together for the achievement of this vital cause. This is the time to demonstrate our commitment to succeeding generations and our sense of legacy. The truth is that we can completely transform our nation's education sector with radical, long-term commitment and investment from the private sector, a win-win situation for all of us eventually. And I trust that this will be a solid start and step in that direction. Before I end, let me add a word of advice. All institutions the world over that have successful endowments also have very well resourced endowment offices. The best skills in investment and management must be recruited. Endowment funds, of course, are to be invested wisely with the best professional guidance. An institution that has a 50 billion endowment has more money than many states of the federation have at any point in time. So compensation for the high quality of personnel for the job may also mean going outside government salary structures, and I think it will be well worth the trouble and the money. I commend the governing council of the Yaba College of Technology and the administrative and teaching staff for this initiative. Like many others, we are confident that Yaba College of Technology, given its track record and the support that this endowment will bring, will be one of the frontline institutions that will determine the future of technology, innovation and creativity in Africa and indeed the world. I invite all our friends and partners in the private sector and individuals to commit generously to this endowment, not just today, but on an ongoing basis. Thank you very much. God bless you.


Here's a great one if somebody says you're weird. So let's say you say, Ty, you're kind of weird. I am, you're kind of weird. You know, it reminds me of what Einstein said.   People are like... So I ask them, am I weird or are you dumb? All of a sudden, you seem like Einstein. I associated myself by quoting Einstein. He's a super good one.


Hey everyone and welcome to the channel, my name is PhillyBeatsU and in this video I'm going to be showing you guys how to get all 8 starter Pokemon that exist in Pokemon Legends Arceus. There are no other starters than the ones I mentioned in this video. So if you're excited about catching all of them, make sure to hit that like button and subscribe if you are new to the channel for more content like this and without further ado, let's get on into this video. Alright so we're going to go for one of the easiest ones to get in the game when you start off. It's going to be Eevee. Eevee is right at the beginning of the game. If for some reason you do not see Eevee in this location that I show you, then go ahead and just exit out of the area and come back in and it may respawn. If it doesn't just keep walking out and coming back in and you'll see it. So we're going to go over here by these two rocks close to horseshoe plains on the first river and if you look over there you should see Eevee straight down there. There it is. There it is. Okay so we're not going to waste time with this one. We're going to go ahead maybe bait Eevee to eat some food. I'm going to get my pokeball ready and boom. If it runs away I'm going to hit it on the head and it's not going to get away. Okay Eevee is done. So Eevee is located right over here. One more time if you do come to this location and it's not here just reload the game, come back just look a little bit to the left of this little water spot here and you should be able to see it. So horseshoe plains that's the Eevee location. The next starter that we are going to go for is Pikachu. By the way I like recording these while I'm doing it. So you guys can also follow along and it's a lot easier instead of pre-recorded footage. So we're going to go ahead to nature's pantry just to get this Pikachu. As you can see it's marked on my map so just follow along.  I might die here.  We're good. We're still good here. Come down this path and then you're going to all the way down you should see a Pikachu in this gap area and there it is. There's Pikachu so if you zoom into my map and look right over here where the star is Pikachu is in this area of nature's pantry so we're going to go ahead and try to catch this Pikachu. I'm going to stick to basic pokeballs just in case you're in the beginning of the game so I'm not going to do anything crazy here. I have a spoiled apricorn which you can get from these trees by the way so if Pikachu does happen to look at me this is another way of catching it. And Pikachu is now stunned and you're going to be able to hit it from the back with a critical capture and that should be Pikachu. Done. So Pikachu Eevee complete. In Obsidian Field Lands you can get Chimchar and the only way to get it is by having the flying mounts or the surfing mounts so if you have the surfing mount you can go to the same spot as me. We're going to head all the way over to Romanus Island so just fly over there with me or if you have the Baskilligen mount go ahead and just surf there once you get to this edge. Okay there is Romanus Island we're going to go land really close here to this edge. The Chimchar should be at this side of the map away from anything dangerous so there is Chimchar spotted right over here. You don't want to scare it off Chimchar will run away from you so if you have a stunning item like dirt or spoiled apricorn I suggest you use it or you can bit it with food. I think we can that option also work so we're going to throw some food on the floor. I'm going to get my Pokeball he's going to start eating it he's very happy and we go for a critical capture right here. In case they do run out the ball again bring a stunning item we're good we got it. So Chimchar is located again on Romanus Island and those are the three starters that you can get in the first area of Obsidian Fieldlands. The next place that we're going to be heading over to is the Crimson Mirelands so go ahead head over there and go to the second camp the Bog Bound Camp. Once you arrive at the Bog Bound Camp we're going to be heading over to Turtwig which is over here in this area I put my flag on it if you want to also just do it right now on your Switch of Watching go ahead hit the flag marker and it should show up. You can only access Turtwig again if you have the Surfing Mount or the Flying Mount so they do limit your progress by having the Surfing Mount but you get that pretty quick in the game so I wouldn't worry too much about it. So we're going to go ahead and head over right to the spot. Okay we are about to be here and we should see the Turtwig there it is it is literally right across the little little little spot alright now Parasect will not interfere in our plans to get Turtwig we have Turtwig walking around here I might just go with the stun method and catch it to not waste any time so I'm just going to go ahead and boom! TIT! We're going to go going on the card catch taking all your ball that's it it should be easy catch alright that's it Turtwig is down for the count and we have it and we're done okay so this is pre-recorded footage because I could not wait for a space-time rift to show up but here is one that I did have here it's a space-time rift that shows in Gapejaw Bog again we are in the Crimson Mirelands we're not in anywhere different so I'm playing this out for you guys and you can see that Cyndaquil spawned right over here got ready to get it and I go into battle with it and it's there it's actually in the game this is how you get starters before the post game by the way the professor does give you the starters that you did not pick at the post game so you're going to get both of the other ones anyway from them but this is a great way to get it before you even reach post game so this is where you get Cyndaquil I go ahead I put it to sleep and then I try to catch it I might have failed that one okay I failed the one before but then I found another one that spawned so I threw a berry real quick and then I just gave up because it wasn't going to the berry threw an ultra ball at it and caught it right confirmed okay confirmed so Cyndaquil you can get in this area I caught it it's done but you have to do this in the space-time rifts distortions in this area please do not try to search for Cyndaquil in other areas of the game Crimson Mirelands and that's how you get it for the next location we're going to be heading over to the cobalt coastlands over here all the way on the right once you go there you're going to head over to the first camp the beach side camps you do get the surfing mount from this location so once you're here and you do get Basquiat Legion you're then going to probably want to get this pip look that I'm about to show you guys so I'm just going to mark the area where we're going to find pip look around it's going to be at the spring path off of the ellipses shore going into the land so just going to head over there put it on the map and I will see you guys as we get closer to the location we are back here and we are approaching the location for pip look so we're just going to go inland it should be around this little lake here so let's just see if you can locate it as we're flying above I see the deuce evolution and there it is you see it right there at the lake surrounding it not this is a lake this is a pond I think this is a pond let me know down in the comments below if you geography experts who know how to read lands and different stuff like that all right we're just going to land here and we're going to slowly go for this pip look again you can do the strategy of either throwing food on the floor making it distracted or just stunning it completely something saw me so I have to move fast now come on pip look come on pip look come on go for the food and it's eating and hit the back for a crit capture that is a pokeball if it breaks out all right we're good it didn't break out either so pip look is done the next location that you want to go to is the Coronet Highlands now in this location you're going to have Rallet spawn but it's only going to be in a space time rift so you're going to go inside of here wait for one of those rifts to show up and then walk inside of it now I'm not going to do this live but I do have footage so I will show you the footage of it okay and here is the clip of me walking inside looking around it just started I'm so far no pokemon a spawn but one of the most amazing things happened when I first encountered this Rallet there it is it's just standing there I don't see anything spawn yet I get ready things are starting to spawn now I'm focusing on it get my ultra ball ready check it at it it is going in the ball and then and then I don't really realize that I'm about to get blasted here now if I was any bit lower on health that would have been a complete death and Rallet still hasn't been caught by the way the ball is still shaking now it's caught and it's registered so if I die I can die in peace knowing I got Rallet but be careful when you're catching the starters in these dimensional rifts they are ridiculously insane I lost a shiny pokemon in the dimensional rift because I did not pay attention to my health and I was just trying to catch the pokemon and if it doesn't register you're gone so it's really sad the next location that you're going to go to is the alabaster ice lands now it doesn't matter where you go on the map because again it's going to be a space time rift for the ashwata spawn so here I am in a space time rift in the ice area as you can see there's snow everywhere this is happening I've never knew it was here this is just footage of me exploring the area you can see Pikachu's and Eevees also do tend to spawn in some of these rifts so if you don't even want to bother catching them in the beginning you can just catch them later on in the rifts and if you look at the screen right now you see an ashwata with red eyes which confirms that you can find alpha versions of the starters in the wild which is mind-blowing um there's ashwata and I was I was freaking out here look at the level it it's 72 it's level 72 ashwata and I don't have it yet I engage in battle with this ashwata and run through it almost with my whole entire team they're all getting wrecked the problem is I have a big dragon team and ashwata knows ice beam here so ashwata's down to half health I got a bunch of pokeballs here and I need to catch this thing because once they despawn or you leave the game or anything happens ashwata's gone so I had to make these dimensional rifts count and just like that you can see that I ended up catching this ashwata and it was one of the most exciting things to me because I I got alpha ashwata I mean confirming that you have alpha starters is a huge thing in the game congratulations you now know how to get all eight starters within this game and you also know how to get them in alpha form if they do happen to show up so if this video helped you out make sure to hit that like button and

dangerous out here and pokemon try to kill you so please please be safe bye


Ron asks about hardware wallet security. Let's say I use a securely protected, very long and strong passphrase with my BIP39 compliant 24-word mnemonic in my hardware wallet. Is it unsafe to publicly publish, meaning on Facebook, on Twitter, the 24-word seed, treating my passphrase as the thing that protects my assets in my hardware wallet? Short answer, Ron? It is absolutely unsafe. Long answer, let's look at why it's unsafe. The way the BIP39 standard works is that you have 24-words, for example. It can range from 12 to 24, but most wallets have 24-words. 24-words actually encodes 256 bits of entropy, which is used to produce the master root node for your hierarchical, deterministic wallet. Basically, let's say your master key is produced from these 24-words. In the process of producing that, your wallet that is BIP39 compliant will operate a password-stretching algorithm. That password-stretching algorithm has only a few rounds. It's not using a lot of rounds to stretch that. By default, if you don't use a passphrase, it uses the word mnemonic as the salt in that password-stretching algorithm. Think about it this way. We take the 24-words, throw in another value, which we call the salt, which is just the text of the word mnemonic, and mix it up 2,000 times through a hashing algorithm that repeatedly hashes to produce another value. The reason for that function, that password-stretching algorithm, which is called PBKDF2, is that the password-stretching ensures that it's difficult to brute-force the passphrase. If you are using a passphrase on your BIP39 compliant wallet, then in order to check if that ends up as a Bitcoin address that has actually got money in it, or verified against a known address, you have to go through those rounds of hashing. That takes time. It doesn't take a lot of time. On a powerful computer, let's say like this laptop, it takes probably less than a millisecond. On a much less powerful device like a hardware wallet, a ledger, a treasure, or a small USB device, which doesn't have enough processing capacity, it actually takes a few seconds. You'll notice when you enter your passphrase and you hit enter on your hardware wallet, it's going to give you a progress bar, and it takes maybe two or three seconds. The reason for that is, in order to make it suitable for a small hardware device like that, they had to really limit the number of rounds of stretching. Unfortunately, that introduces a weakness, because you can implement a stretching algorithm. Not only can you implement it in a laptop a thousand times faster than you can on a treasure, but worse, on a GPU, you can do it maybe a hundred thousand times faster. On an FPGA, maybe you can do it ten million times faster. If you use an ASIC for it, you could probably do it a hundred million times faster than you can on a treasure. Which then makes it possible to try an enormous amount of passphrases.  It means that if somebody finds your 24-word seed lying around, you shouldn't have it lying around, but if they do find it and it's not sufficiently physically secured, then brute-forcing the password will require either a lot of infrastructure or a lot of time. They even need to have specialized computers, JPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, etc. Or it will take a long time. By a long time, I mean that a relatively complex passphrase will keep you safe for several weeks a month. A very strong complex passphrase will keep you safe for months, unless the person is willing to spend a million dollars on hardware to break that passphrase. So there are these trade-offs. At the bottom end of these trade-offs is this small hardware wallet that can't do this faster than about one or two seconds when you type it in. You don't want it to delay any more than that, because then the hardware wallet becomes difficult to use. So that's the trade-off there.  We've talked about brain wallets before. Brain wallets are where you make up a phrase, hash it lots of times, produce a bitcoin private key, and use that. Brain wallets are not secure. Because, absent a second factor, you can just pre-compute a very large number of very common things that people will use as brain wallets. Phrases from Star Trek, slogans from various cultural movements, quotes from movies, TV shows, poems, stories, whatever. You can pre-compute all of that, and they will always produce the same brain wallets because there's no other factor in there. Then all you have to do is wait for someone to use that and put money into one of the bitcoin addresses. You just track a trillion bitcoin addresses, which is a simple database problem.  We've seen that happen again and again. People use brain wallets, and the moment they put money in there, within an hour, someone has taken the money, because the brain wallet they chose wasn't secure. Now, get this. Brain wallets are more secure than what you just proposed. The number of rounds used, I believe most brain wallets use 16,000 rounds, but you can configure it. You can make your brain wallets use 100,000 rounds, which is far more than what a little hardware wallet can do. Brain wallets can be made more secure by more rounds, but they can never be made as secure as having a true two-factor system. One factor is your mnemonic, and the other factor is the passphrase, and the attacker needs both. Especially since the mnemonic itself is 256-bits of entropy, you're never brute-forcing that. You would have to have either all of it or a significant chunk of it to have any meaningful way of brute-forcing the rest of it in the passphrase. Then you can attack BIP39 in certain ways, but it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time. To summarize all of that, the most important rule in cryptography is, don't roll your own crypto. Don't try to do smart things, because you will make mistakes, because you will not understand the impact on the complexity of solving the problem. Let me give you another classic example. I read this all the time, where they say, okay, all you have to do is take your 24 words and cut it in half, and store 12 words in one place and 12 words in another place. That's not the standard, and there's a reason why that's not the standard. It's not the standard, because that is not secure. Next time you hear that, ask the simple question, how much less effort is it to find one half of a seed? If you split it in two, and I managed to compromise one of these 12-word packs, how hard is it for me to crack the other 12 words? Is it half as difficult as 24 words? No, it's not. It's ten to the thirty-five times less difficult, approximately. Why? Because what you cut in half is not the base, it's the exponent of the complexity. You took something that had 256 bits of complexity, and you converted it to 128 bits of complexity. 128 bits of complexity isn't half of 256 bits. It's 10 with 30-some zeros after it, or 40-some zeros after it, less complex than 256 bits. Don't roll your own crypto. Don't try to get smart about trying to implement schemes and systems to split your seed. You're far more likely to lose your money because you simply forgot the scheme, because it wasn't standard. Something happened to you and your heirs or your family can't get to it. Or simply because you forgot a password, which we've seen again and again, and then you can't brute-force it. Or if you go all the way to the extreme, your scheme is not as complex as you think it is, and someone can brute-force it easily. You've effectively implemented a brain wallet, and your money is going to get stolen. BIP39 is very carefully balanced to achieve the best ratio of security and ease of use and backup. Security and resilience, security and recoverability, and to work on smaller hardware devices. It's balanced by people who are actual cryptographers and know what they're doing. When you try to change the way you use it, you tip that balance. You either tip it too much towards security. I took my BIP39 seed. I cut it into 24 bits. I mixed them up. I encrypted them. I put them on Dropbox. I then erased it from the web. I can only access it on the archives. Your money is gone. You lost it because you made it too complex.  Or you traded it the other way, and then you end up with something that's too easy to break, because you didn't realize that what you were changing in the complexity was a big change, not a small change. Don't roll your own crypto unless you are an experienced cryptographer. I'll tell you, I won't do it. I don't consider myself an experienced enough cryptographer to roll my own crypto. I use the standards that are well-tested, mature, and peer-reviewed by very good cryptographers, and they work well.  Use a passphrase that is strong enough that it's not easily brute-forceable. 6-8 English words is just about right. Not English words from the mnemonic list. Just English words that don't mean something that is not a phrase that you won't be able to find on Google, that is not written in a book or you saw in a movie. Pick 6-8 random words, memorize them, write them down, store them in a different location, so that your family actually has a chance of getting that back. That's going to be more secure, and you're not going to get robbed as easily. Just use the standard as it was designed. Antony had a quick follow-up there. Passphrase, does that mean the password on the hardware wallet? There are two things on the hardware wallet. There's the PIN number. The PIN number is just to protect the physical device. It has nothing to do with the seed. It's just so that if someone takes your physical hardware wallet, they can't simply unlock it. The PIN number is designed so that if you make a mistake, the delay gets twice as long. That quickly escalates to the point where you can only try one PIN a week, then one PIN every two weeks, then one PIN a month, etc. That's the PIN. It has nothing to do with how you do the security of the actual keys. The passphrase, however, which is a long phrase that you type, which is an optional component of BIP39, is an additional security factor to your seed. That is separate from the PIN. That's something that in first-generation hardware wallets, you would type on to your computer. In second-generation hardware wallets, you type directly onto the screen of the hardware wallet, so it's not entered on an online system. That's mixed in with your mnemonic phrase, and it affects the security of your key, and it protects your seed from theft.


Hi everybody, my name is Sal and thank you for watching today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this 5x7 stepper card. So 5x7 cards aren't usually made as a stepper fold because you would need a piece of 14-length cardstock. So a lot of these are already pre-made and a lot of companies sell them already done for you. But I've come up with a way to make it in two halves and it's actually very easy as well. So hopefully those of you that like the 5x7 card size will really enjoy making this card. Mine's got the lovely Wallace and Gromit on and I'll talk a little bit more about that in the video. And then on the back you've got space there to be able to write your message or if you'd like you can always write inside there. So let me show you how I made it. Okay so the papers I used here, the polka dot and the bone is all from this one. It's an older pad. I did buy this a couple of years ago maybe now. Yeah it would have been. Yeah it was a couple of years ago. Well just about 80 months anyway. It was from Paper Addicts which is by Craft Label and it was a pound. So if I can find any sellers online then I will link that one. So gone ahead, prepared everything. I've even done Wallace and then this time I've got Shaun the sheep which I've made there which is very cute. I've also embossed this one here. Anybody that was watching the live would have seen me make this one here which is probably one of the funniest lives I've done since I've been doing them. But this time I just swapped out his tie for a red tie and then he matched Shaun with the red in his knitted sweater and then the red on there. So that's all that ready and I just embossed the red pieces just to give it a little bit of texture and this is the X-cut tartan knit embossing photo. That's my cardstock and then the stamp here is the Happy Birthday which is from the stamps that go with this collection. It's all sold separately but I picked this up last year when it was all on offer and some of it is still on offer at the moment or it is as I make this video so hopefully it's still available when it goes up. But you build these up so you have all these separate pieces and you can build them. Now during the live this one took me some time because we were laughing and again if you like to watch the lives on Facebook I'll link it in the description box below. However after the live when I wasn't distracted by comments he actually took me no time at all. I put him together very quickly.  So there are things that you don't have to do and we actually in the end well I realised that you can just do it all one colour so you can see there I've done his shirt all in white on here. Can you see all the different shades even on his hands? I just done it all the same and it still looked great. So these are the ones I've got but there is also fluffy sorry fluffles and paella and then I've got two embossing photos that also come with it which I didn't use on these projects but there's grommet there's Wallace which were on that one and then I haven't used Feathers McGraw yet but I've used Sean again with Wallace okay so that's everything there. So onto the scoring so you want one piece of five by seven and a half and along the five inch side you want to score at one and four inches but only down to the two and a half inch mark so it's slightly different to what I did in the live this is how I should have done it but I was like I do sometimes I get carried away so I'm just scoring at one but just down to that two and a half marker and again at the four inch just down to the two and a half inch marker then rotate it and score at five to join up with the bottom of that score line so you're not scoring all the way through you're just scoring so it meets the bottom of that one you just done and then if you flip the card stock over score again at five because these are just cut lines it doesn't matter that they're in the opposite direction but again it's just joining the bottom of that one and then you also want to score I'm just going to flip it back over again score at seven all the way through so I just hold that up there can you see ignore that one that I've done I've done that wrong and that one there just ignore them you'll just have this score line and this one on each side and then that's that seven inch score line all the way through this is the back then for the front you want a piece of five by seven and you're going to score again at one and four but this time you're going to score all the way down to five and a half inches so one inch down to five and a half and four inches down to five and a half and then again you're going to rotate and you're then going to score at four and a half and five and a half down to that score line so it's a lot of partial scoring so four and a half and five and a half and again just flip it over four and a half and five and a half just to give you the guides it's just easier that way and then you can also go back over them okay so you can see again there's the one and the four all the way down to five and a half inches and then you can see the other two it's all just meeting these score lines and then you would also need for mats and layers this is for the back so this is a piece of four and three quarters by six and three quarters and just so we get that nice effect here okay you want to score again at one down to two inches so one down to two and then three and three quarters down to two rotate it and then score it two so it joins the bottom and again just flip it over but you're just going to cut these out so it doesn't really matter too much about which way the score lines are again ignore that score line there but you just want to have these two corners and you'll cut those out and this one I've already stamped but again this is four and a half by six and a half you're scoring at one down to two again join it up and then this time at three and a half down to two rotate it and score it two to join up it's just the quickest way to get that all lined up and again if I just bring it up you see there we're going to cut this out in a minute and label mats and layer perfectly over each other and then on to the back of the card I'm going to start with a five by seven piece so all of this scoring at the bottom here you want it so it's facing away from you you're now going to cut down both of these score lines really neatly because this is all the front of the card if you'd rather use a trimmer you can and you're going to cut all the way down to the end of that score line I like to just get my little snips just to get a really nice neat cut up to the end there and then again on this side okay and then what you're going to do is create mountain folds first and then valley fold and you can start to see already the front of that stepper card coming together so this way of doing it you don't need to worry about having a trimmer you don't have to worry about having a cutting knife because sometimes you have to cut usually most stepper cards you have to cut inside the card area and this way it's just a little bit easier but then this time again you want this side now facing you where you've got that half inch tab and you're going to cut all the way down past the first score line all the way down to the end again like so and all of this backside here is all going to be the tabs to stick the front piece on like so and then just remove you don't have to but just take those off like so and again you're going to fold them so they're mountains and so that's an outing as well so you've just got a piece that looks like that next we want to stick it all together so I like to stick this tab first so I'm just going to pop some glue along there and I'm going to get this end and just join them up if you've got anything overhanging just take a little wedge off the side of that tab first but this lines up perfectly just give that a second to grab and then what's going to happen this front is going to stick over each of them cover the whole piece so all the joins are at the top here and here and here so I'll do one at a time so pop the glue on there it works better having a longer tab I did try it when I done my kind of just samples and I done it as a half inch tab but it ended up pushing the card out more so having a longer tab seemed to hold it better and then I'm just going to lay that over the top and just make sure you get a really nice clean join there okay and then again this one and then the whole card will fold flat and if you just grab bone folder and just go over everything just burnish all of those even the score lines under here like so and now you have your five by seven stepper card and it will stand up really nice so once you get your mats and layers on as well it will fold down more just going to go over those again there we go then I'm going to grab the back pieces and all you want to do is just remove those corners okay and then I've just stuck those over the top and then if you flip this over it will sit perfectly on the back of the card okay so that's the back all done and then I'm just going to decorate the front so I've got this piece here which is two and three quarters by five and a half and then I have this piece here which is that's going to go along the bottom like so I actually made this one a bit longer that one shorter but now I'm thinking I might take a little bit more off that because it was quite a big white gap underneath just there so I might shave a bit more off of that one but it's entirely up to you because I think then you'll have yeah it just seems a bit longer let me just take a little bit more off this one so I would take this one to five and three eighths so it's just a little bit of a slightly different measurement but there we go it gives you that perfect white border that piece was one and a quarter by four and three quarters and then these pieces here are three quarters by four and a quarter and they will go in and stick down like so okay and then I've got my Wallace and Sean which are going to go on the front there the happy birthdays from that stamp set and that's going to go along the bottom and then I've cut this bunting from just some of my old bunting dies and they're going to go along the top so I'm going to get everything stuck down that's now everything stuck down you see the black card stock I used on Sean the sheep it's got like a shine to it then I've already put the glossy accents on his eyes which you can probably just see someone did say Joe in the live as well maybe some googly eyes would look really cool but I'm going to use glossy accents so I'm just going to pop a couple of little dots on his eyes goes on a bit cloudy but that will dry nice and clear and then on the bunting here can you see all that shine and that's from the spectrum noir sparkle pen and you probably really notice it more on the red but just go over the bunting once it's dry you can go over it again it goes it will like darken the card stock but once it dries it will go back to its original colour but leave all the glitter so this is a clear one there you have it just bring that up again you can just there we go you can see all that sparkle so there are my two really cool stepper cards which every time I look at now just make me laugh because of the facebook live so again if you did want to watch something a bit funny it's more when I start to put him together so yeah feel free you can watch that one like I said it's linked below but there they are so I will link as much of the product if it's still available in the description box below and I hope you have fun making these five by seven stepper cards also coming up now will be the other size of stepper cards I've got a whole playlist of stepper cards six by six other sizes centre stepper double stair stepper there's lots of different variations of this kind of fold so if you'd like to meet more check out that playlist and otherwise I'll be back again very soon thanks for watching bye


We're going to titrate a solution of tris, a weak base, with a solution of HCl. To get a titration curve for a weak base with a strong acid, we're going to titrate a solution of approximately 0.1 molar tris with a solution of approximately 0.2 molar HCl. You will have the initial volume and molarity of the tris and the molarity of the HCl solution. You should be able to calculate the equivalence point and the half equivalence point. You want to include these in the data that you're collecting. We're going to pipet 50 milliliters of the tris solution into the beaker. We're going to add three to four drops of bromcressol green indicator. Bromcressol green is blue in basic solution and yellow in acidic solution. It changes about pH three to four. We're going to place a calibrated CBLPH electrode into the solution. We're going to gently stir the solution. We're going to be careful not to hit the electrode with a stir bar. We've already calibrated the pH electrode. So we're going to come down to collect data. We want trigger prompts. We're going to come down to trigger prompt and press enter. We're going to wait 30 seconds for the electronics to warm up. Press enter. Our first data point will be when we've added no HCl solution. We've set the burette at 0.00 milliliters. When the CBL reading is stable, we're going to press trigger and we'll enter the volume on the calculator 0.00 milliliters. We want more data, so we press more data. We're going to enter 2 milliliters of HCl. We're going to try and get as close to 2 milliliters as possible. But read your burette carefully and you're going to enter that value on the CBL. When the CBL reading is stable, press trigger and we'll enter the volume on the calculator 2.00. More data. We're going to collect data every 2 milliliters from 0 milliliters to 20 milliliters, every 1 milliliter from 20 milliliters to 30 milliliters, and every 5 milliliters from 30 milliliters to 50 milliliters. You also want to make sure that you collect as one of your data points the half equivalence point volume and the equivalence point volume. You should also try and record the volume when the indicator changes from blue to yellow. When you reach 50 milliliters and the CBL is reading is stable, press trigger. Enter 50.00 milliliters on your calculator. Press enter. You're now ready to stop. This is the graph of the titration of Tris with HCL.


Wow.  Wow, that was an amazing speech, Ed. I can remember last year's March when Ed did his speech. I watched it online and it gave me chills. It gave me chills because I could see the pain in his eyes. It gave me chills because I could feel the strength, the courage and the conviction in his voice. And now this year I have a chance to join you all and stand up here beside Ed as a display of unity. Today we put our differences aside and we joined together for one struggle. Today we marched arm in arm for the most noble cause. We marched for the most enslaved, oppressed and victimised group of beings on Earth ever. The animals. The animals are so defenseless and so vulnerable like children. The animals have trusted us and we have betrayed them. Humans have betrayed their trust and have systematically tortured and murdered these innocent childlike beings for something as trivial as a sandwich. Sometimes I feel ashamed to be called a human being. To stand upright. But then I look around at this sea of strong courageous activists and it makes me so proud. So proud and so positive. I see the masses taking veganism seriously and it gives me hope. Hope and motivation that what we are doing is working. Yes the animals are innocent. Yes they have done nothing wrong to deserve the horrific abuse and torture humans inflict on them every second of every day. But we as activists are their defenders and we must stand together worldwide from across countries to support each other. Today we stood together for the plight of animals. We stand together in solidarity for animal liberation and we'll march into the streets and make sure our voices are heard. Every single time we turn to blind-eyed at their suffering we owe them. For every single time we participated in their murder we owe them. Being an activist is the very least we owe them. You know when Ed and Luna brought out their animal rights film Land of Hope and Glory. I watched it and I wept. I wept because I felt helpless. I wept because I could feel their suffering like it was my own and I couldn't stop it. But it was in that moment of helplessness that I realised I can do something. We can do something. We are doing something and we are not helpless. We can stop this and by channeling all that emotion into our activism mark my words we will stop this. We must work tirelessly as activists towards the vegan world. We can never have peace until the animals have peace. We can never give up no matter what. When it comes to being an activist we have to be brave. Courage isn't something you're born with. It's something you build on and work on. It's something that comes from gradually stepping outside of your comfort zone and speaking out against injustice. Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Today we march for those who can't march for themselves. We shout loud our truth for those who can't speak for themselves. And we'll stand up and fight for those who can't defend themselves. Never underestimate the power of fearless dedicated group of activists. This is the power we have when activists unite and we won't stop until we have total animal liberation. Never give up. Thank you.


A fierce war between Russian Landsat drones and Ukrainian artillery began. The Russians have deployed Landsat Kamikaze drones at the front to attack Ukrainian defence forces' artillery. The British intelligence announced this. Russia deploys Landsat to attack priority targets, and they have become increasingly prominent in the key counter-battery fight, striking enemy artillery, the British intelligence said. UK defence intelligence says the Landsat small, one-way action unmanned aerial systems are likely to be one of the most effective new assets that Russia has deployed in Ukraine in the past 12 months. Traditionally, Russia has used small UAVs mainly for reconnaissance. With its attack capability, Landsat has been a step change in how Russia uses these category of weapons the UK Defence Ministry said. Landsats are produced by the aircraft manufacturing company Zala Aero Group. Zala also manufactures small unmanned Orlan 10 UAVs, which Russia often uses with Landsat to detect targets. At the same time, UK intelligence notes that Ukraine has also achieved success with small UAVs. They are designed for piloting over enemy territory, waiting for a target to be detected, diving down to it and blowing it up.
