We had to think about having plants that can produce more of the nutrients in a limited space and with limited resources. Our technology equips plants with higher content of amino acids that are essential for the human diet. We're going to send seeds of a model plant that is called rapidopsis italiana and we would like to see how when these seeds come back from space how does it react to space. We are attempting to see how we can improve plant productivity using plants that we have modified to have more resources to withstand a space flight. By 2050 our population would have exploded. We need to make plants that are stronger and more yielding in terms of biomass productivity to make the tools for mankind to survive in a space that is not becoming bigger but where the human population is becoming more numerous. This for me will be my third mission to space and I can tell you that for the other two missions when we were doing the countdown of the rocket going out to space I cried because it was so exciting being part of history because each rocket they sent to space is part of history but Artemis is mind-blowing because allows to achieve so many milestones. I'm Federica Branditti and I am Artemis.


in this agreement. We have worked tirelessly with our negotiators to make sure that we've got to this occasion. We are very confident that this deal will see our two-way trade, the trade between our nations, double in the coming years. We also know that this agreement will underpin the economic stability of the Indo-Pacific. It is an agreement for its time. It is an agreement for this moment and it's wonderful to be able to join with you to sign it. And what a wonderful occasion to be doing it on India's new year. This will create a new dawn for our nations but also it is wonderful to be able to celebrate it on such an august occasion in India. Thank you very much. I'd like to invite Shree Ayush Geyul, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs and Food and Public Distribution and Textiles of India to make some remarks. Thank you. Your Excellency, Honourable Prime Minister, Mr Scott Morrison, Honourable Prime Minister, Shree Narendra Modiji, my friend Minister Tehan, India and Australia are natural partners connected by shared values of democracy, rule of law and transparency. Like two brothers, both nations supported each other during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our relationship rests on the pillars of trust and reliability, aptly reflected in our deepening geo-strategic engagement through the Quad and the Supply Chain Resilience Initiative. Today is a historic day for our ties as we sign the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement, Indus Ekta. In a way, it started when Prime Minister Shri Modi visited Australia in 2014, and I remember his words, Australia will not be at the periphery of our vision, but at the centre of our thought. I see a great future of partnership between India and Australia and a shared commitment to realise it. Recently, the leaders met virtually for the Indus Summit and within 10 days, we are here to witness the signing of the Indus Ekta. I am grateful to our leaders who guided and motivated us to complete the agreement in a truly cooperative spirit, understanding each other's sensitivities. My deep sense of appreciation goes out to both teams for their outstanding work. Given the time difference between the two nations, the negotiations would run into late nights with either side remaining awake on many occasions. The Indus Ekta would remove barriers to trade and will open up plethora of opportunities in both goods and services for both nations. It is expected that the bilateral trade would go from the existing 27 billion US dollars to nearly 45 to 50 billion US dollars over the next five years. There is huge potential in areas like textiles, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, German jewelry and IT, amongst others, creating huge employment in both countries. I am confident that this multifaceted and forward looking Indus Ekta will take our ties to greater heights. Thank you very much. Namaste. The document will now be signed by Minister Teon and Minister Goyal. I will now invite Honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of India, Shree Narendra Modi, to make some remarks. Today, I am with my friend Scott for the third time. Last week, we had a very productive discussion in our virtual summit. At that time, we gave our teams the opportunity to discuss trade agreement and trade agreement. I am very happy that today, we are having a very important meeting. For the sake of this extraordinary opportunity, I am proud of both countries' trade ministers and their officials. I would like to congratulate the former Prime Minister of Australia and the Prime Minister of Mauritania, Trade Envoy Tony Abbott. I am very happy that they have come to this meeting. Friends, in such a short period of time, it is very important to make an agreement that how much mutual trust is there between the two countries. This is a watershed moment for us. I am very confident that we will be able to take full advantage of these opportunities through this agreement. On the basis of this agreement, together we will be able to improve the resilience of the supply chain and in the Indo-Pacific region, we will be able to contribute to the stability. Friends, people to people. This relationship between India and Australia is an important part of friendship. This agreement will make it easy for students, professionals, and professionals to make this agreement easier. This will make this relationship stronger. I would like to again congratulate the teams of both countries, India, Australia, Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement, Indus-Ecta, on their successful negotiations. I would like to congratulate them on their successful negotiations. I would like to congratulate the Prime Minister Morrison on his successful negotiations. I would like to congratulate the women's cricket team on their successful negotiations. I would like to congratulate the women's cricket team on their successful negotiations. I will now invite the Prime Minister of Australia, the Honourable Scott Morrison NP, to make some remarks. Prime Minister Modi, you're up to go. Your Excellency, my dear and trusted friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to Minister Goyal and to Minister Tien Namaste, but also Gideh, from here in Launceston, in the island state of Tasmania. I feel it's a very timely and relevant place for me to be because this is the home of crayfish, of sheep meat, of our wall, and the many other berries and other things that form part of this agreement. I'm so pleased to be able to join you here from Tasmania today. As Prime Minister Modi mentioned, it was only last week that we were meeting as part of a very productive annual virtual summit. But this was, of course, not the first time we've met. We've met on many, many occasions. And I go back to 2014 where I had the good fortune to be seated next to Prime Minister Modi then, Prime Minister, when I was then the Immigration Minister. And it was Prime Minister Abbott who introduced us on that day back in 2014. And I also want to join with Prime Minister Modi in extending my thanks to the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, when it comes to the agreement that we've been able to reach on this day. I said then at our virtual summit last week that the pace and scale of our cooperation since we announced our comprehensive strategic partnership has been remarkable. Some 282 million in new initiatives that my government has announced including at the summit, which will drive our expanding cooperation. This is the single largest Australian government investment in our relationship with India, but it won't be the last. And now we mark another milestone in that relationship. The signing of the Indus Agreement, the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement. This agreement further develops on the promise of our economic relationship, realises it. It will facilitate cheaper Australian goods to India, wool, horticulture, coal, LNG amongst many others supporting India's economic growth and development. It will unlock deeper cooperation in critical minerals and rare earths, which I know is an area of increasing importance to India's growing manufacturing sector. And a very common topic of our discussions as part of the Quad Leaders Dialogue, which I share with Prime Minister Modi. And it will further deepen the warm and close ties between our people by delivering increased work, study and travel opportunities. Importantly, it sends a powerful signal to our businesses and investors alike that one of the biggest doors is now open to a great economic partnership. These dynamic regional economies, like-minded democracies, working together for mutual benefit. It also delivers a clear message that democracies are working together and ensuring the security and resilience of our supply chains. I very much want to commend both of our ministers, Ministers Goyal and Minister Thien, and the many officials for their great work and their impressive efforts in securing this outcome. I thank also our High Commissioner Barry O'Farrell, who was sent as our High Commissioner by myself as a dear and close friend to be our ambassador to my dear and close friend, Prime Minister Modi. I welcome our agreement to date as a first step towards full co-operative economic cooperation agreement between our two great nations by the end of the year. And I thank you for your commitment and perseverance in securing this great achievement. I thank you also, Prime Minister, for your kind wishes in relation to the Women's World Cup. And we look forward to continuing great friendly competition. But when it comes to our economies, we are very much on the same team, same team pursuing the economic advancement for both of our peoples. I'm jealous of only one thing and that was, I wasn't able to be at that, what sounded like a very nice lunch in New Delhi between our ministers. And I look forward to being able to join Prime Minister Modi, hopefully in the not too distant future, where we can speak again, but this time face to face. Thank you. That concludes the science of money.


If you had a superpower, what would it be and why? Right now, I would say flying because it's ATL traffic is crazy. Right. You really want to go at home, baby? 8-5 is the worst. No, definitely. It takes me like an hour 15 to get home, and it's just like, I just like put on my murder podcast and just drive. If I could fly, I'd probably live in the city, because it's my properties out there. Right. Yeah, there are some really nice homes. I was driving around.  I was like, ah, finally, like I could get one of these homes. Right, right. Or just be invisible, so I don't get held up by the Atlanta airport. Oh, see, that's another one. Teleportation. Right, yeah, yeah, right, right, right.


Chewing gum may only burn about three calories an hour. But the calorie expenditure is not just your little jaw muscles at work. For some reason, gum chewing revs up your heart rate, as much as an extra 12 beats per minute after chewing two sticks of gum. Here's your heart rate and blood pressure five minutes before you start chewing. Then chewing for five minutes, then you stop. That was them just sitting quietly. It also works while walking, increasing your heart rate by about three beats more per minute, and proving scientifically that people can indeed walk and chew gum at the same time. But does this translate into weight loss? Researchers at the University of Buffalo asked study participants to go for weeks chewing gum before every single eating occasion, or chew no gum at all. On the gum chewing weeks, they didn't just have to chew gum before each meal, but before each snack, or even each drink that had any calories in it. This may have been too much for folks, so they actually ended up eating on fewer occasions, switching from four meals a day on average down closer to three. But they ended up eating more calories at each of those fewer meals, and so had no overall significant change in calorie intake, and so, no surprise, had no change in weight. University of Alabama researchers tried a different tact, randomizing people to chew gum after and between meals. After two months, compared to those randomized to avoid gum entirely, no improvements were noted in weight, BMI, or waist circumference. Huh, but what about those few studies that suggested gum chewing had an appetite-suppressing effect? In this study, people ate 68 fewer calories of pasta at lunch after 20 minutes of gum chewing. Yeah, but other studies show differently. Whenever there are conflicting findings, instead of just throwing your hands up, it can be useful to try to tease out any study differences that could have potentially accounted for the disparate results. The obvious consideration is funding source. This was a publicly funded study, but that failed Alabama weight loss study was funded by a gum company, so the outcomes are not necessarily predetermined. Different types of gum using different sweeteners may have contributed to the diversity of findings. That one study showing gum chewing instead actually may increase appetite. For example, it was done with aspartame sweetened gum. People reported feeling hungrier after chewing the sweetened gum, not only compared to no gum, but compared to chewing the same gum with no added aspartame. True, not a single randomized controlled trial has ever shown a benefit to gum chewing, but they've all used gum containing artificial sweeteners. There was a landmark study that showed that sip size matters. I have people drink at the same rate, but give them a sip every two seconds or a quadruple-sized gulp every eight seconds, and the smaller sip group one out, satiating after about one-half cups compared to two cups when taking larger swigs. This is thought to be because of increased orosensory exposure. Your brain is picking up the more frequent pulses of flavor and calories, but repeat the experiment with an artificially sweetened diet drink, and the effect appears to be blunted. So maybe a different type of gum would have a different effect? The positive pasta study was performed using gum, mainly sweetened with sorbetol, a sweet compound found naturally in foods like prunes, but like prunes can have a laxative effect. Case reports like this, an air stewardess with puzzling diarrhea unveil what can happen when you eat 60 sticks of sorbetol-sweetened sugar-free gum a day. Another was entitled, Severe Weight Loss Caused by Chewing Gum. But not in a good way. A 21-year-old woman ended up malnourished after suffering up to a dozen bouts of diarrhea a day for eight months due to the 30 grams of sorbetol while she was getting chewing sugar-free gum and candies every day. Most people suffer gas and bloating at 10 grams of sorbetol a day, which is about eight sticks of sorbetol-sweetened gum, and at 20 grams, most get cramps and diarrhea, so you want to be careful how much you eat. The bottom line is that we have no good science of showing gum-chewing results in weight loss. Could that be because the studies used artificial sweeteners that may have counteracted any benefits? Could be, but the most obvious explanation for the results to date is that chewing gum simply is not an efficacious weight loss strategy, and that's coming from researchers funded by the gum company itself.


Hello my loves, today I am here to chat with you about 10 mystery books, kind of more than 10, but like let's say 10. 10 mystery books that you need to read. So I will ask the other day, in terms of like dedicated mystery, murder mystery, actually these are murder mystery, do I say that? They're just murder mystery, not mystery, murder mystery. In terms of murder mystery recommendation videos that I've done in the past, I've only done it for beginners or my top murder mystery books. I'll leave that linked here, but there's stuff in between that that I wouldn't necessarily recommend for beginners and aren't necessarily my favorites, but are ones that I really enjoyed and would recommend. And so I wanted to do a dedicated video for that and maybe I'll do this every year or so as well. So shall we just get into it and chat about the murder mystery books that you need to read? Okay I will say I have been fairly strict with is it a murder mystery or not? These first two I really loved and I want to recommend, they are scraping it. The rules don't apply. A little bit in their own unique ways. I don't know, a little bit. They're not quite your traditional murder mystery, but let's chat about them. So my first one is Wrong Place Wrong Time by Julian McAllister. A lot of you will have seen because it's now my most viewed video ever, but my Goodreads Choice Awards video where I read the top 10 mystery thrillers of the year. This was the highlight for me of a book. I need to take that sticker off, do that later. Of a book that I read because of that video. Now this is a murder mystery I would say. It has a lot of the hallmarks for murder mystery, but kind of what we're trying to discover is not who committed a murder because we know that, it's why the murder was committed. So basically our main character witnesses her son stab someone right at the start of the book and it's obviously very horrific and she goes to sleep and she wakes up and it's the day before. She goes to sleep, it's the day before that. And over time she's trying to figure out how did her son get to this place? Because before that day she thought everything was kind of normal. Maybe he was acting a bit strange, but like not to the point of murdering someone. So yeah, we know her son commits the murder, but she's trying to figure out why. And she kind of assumes this detective role in a sense. So I would say it is a murder mystery. Just I like books nowadays, I guess they're being published in the modern era that take the murder mystery genre and put a little bit of a twist on it. We'll talk about that in the next book as well. I loved this. I thought it was such a fun twist. I loved the time travel element. I've said before one of my favorite things about this is that she is completely on her own in trying to figure this out because every day she goes, you know, a day previous or a week previous. And so if she tries to have a conversation with anyone about it, when she goes to sleep they won't remember her conversation at all. So she has to start at square one again. And I just loved also how this is about a mother's love for her son. I thought it was really beautiful, kind of the lengths that she would go to to protect him and to save him.  I like drama. Drama drives me at times. The first twist I was gagged.  But I still loved it. I thought it was such an interesting mystery that unraveled over time. So yeah, I really, really enjoyed this one. This next one was a four star. It wasn't quite a five star for me. But I think about it a lot. It's one of the books that I read last year that I would say has had a lasting impact on me. And it is The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett. It says on the front, it's time to solve the murder of the century. Okay, this one you get basically this set of audio files that have been recorded from a person's phone and the person is now missing. And basically it's our main character who has just gotten out of prison. He's talking about this mystery that he found out about when he was a young child from his teacher Miss Isles about this children's book that had been written and the secret codes that were in this children's book. And he believes that Miss Isles then went missing. And so you're trying to figure out it's never outright said at the beginning, oh, this person's dead. But you have got two people that are missing. Both are protagonists who were then reading the whole most of the stories, us going through real time with him and these audio files he records with other people, trying to figure out the mystery of the code. Or are we trying to solve the mystery of the murder of Miss Isles? Perhaps did something happen to her? So I think this is one of the best twists I read last year. I gave it the award for best twist of the year. I just think the reveal in this was so clever.   Like I don't know. I loved, loved, loved, loved, loved, loved the twistedness. And I think it would really hold up to rereads. It's the kind of twist that I don't think you could ever, you might get hints of what's happening but like you'll never fully understand until it's revealed the full extent of what's going on. And I don't know, I just think it was really clever, really, really clever. I am so excited to read Janice Hallett's new release that's just come out this year. I may be reading it next week for a video. It's a video that I'm not sure why I'm reading yet. Yeah, this wasn't a five star. I think it may be a 4.5 actually, but it's one of the books I think about the most. And Janice Hallett is just doing really unique stuff in the murder mystery genre at the moment. My next recommendation is one you absolutely have to read if you are a big Ackler Christie fan and it is The Three Dahlia's by Katie Watson. I haven't really heard anyone else speak about this. I picked this up on a whim in a bookshop that I went to. So we are following three actresses who have played the role of Dahlia Lively throughout the years. So like one is elderly woman, one is a really young girl who's about to play her for the first time. And Dahlia Lively is one of the most renowned detectives to ever exist in this book. And they go to this convention that's being held kind of for fans of the books at the author's old stately home and murders start occurring and they kind of team up to solve it. And I just thought this was such a fun dedication and homage? Homage? Say it properly. But you know it's just so referential to the murder mystery genre and to Ackler Christie in particular. Ackler Christie is mentioned in this so it's like Ackler Christie doesn't exist in this world. But you can tell that the T Stavenport the author is very much based on Ackler Christie. And it was just really fun seeing these characters team up to solve this mystery. What I think is unique about it is it is dual perspective from each three of the characters. But you kind of spend a third of the book with each rather than like hopping between them a lot. At the end it kind of hops between them a lot. But for most of the book you spend like a big chunk with each. And I did enjoy that because I felt like it gave you time to really figure out that character and figure out what was going on with them in their life. And I don't know just like a convention of murder mystery superfans like was just such a fun setting. So I really enjoyed this. This is a series so I'm really excited for the second one which is coming out later this year. Next is a mixed media recommendation. I love a bit of mixed media. It is True Crime Story by Joseph Knox. So in this we're following the story of Zoe Nolan who was a Manchester University student who went missing and is presumed dead essentially. And it's mixed media because it's all told through interviews with people in her life. So her boyfriend, her friend, her parents trying to piece together what's going on.  Kind of Joseph Knox is a character within the story as well. And he's trying to piece this together after his friend who was trying to piece this together died. And so there's kind of letters from him throughout as well. I love the audiobook for this. I think the audiobook can get a bit confusing. I think it's similar to other like interview format books where it is full cast but they're not going to say who they are at the start of when they start speaking. So you have to remember which voice is who. So I did read along physically with the audio but I think this has great twists. It has great like developments throughout the book. You really don't know who you can trust. And it was just such a fun read. You know I love a book like this. Any recommendations for mixed media, murder mysteries, I am all for it. Please give them to me. Then I just quickly want to give an honourable mention to The Lady Hard Castle Mysteries by T. E. Kinsey. The first is A Quiet Life in the Country. I have read the first five. I just read The Burning Issue of the Day, the fifth one, and I gave it five stars. I love this series. I feel like I don't talk about it enough because I don't typically vlog it. But this is my favourite cozy mystery series. And we are following Lady Hard Castle and her made flow. They used to be let's say kind of detectives, maybe spies. And they have retired and moved this lovely little village in England but it turns out it is the murder hotspot of the world. So they have a lot of murders that they need to help solve. I'm here to investigate and find out what had happened. And it's just so funny. Like Lady Hard Castle and Flow's relationship is so endearing and funny and lovely in the way that they understand each other after being friends for so long. And I love the mysteries. I think the mysteries are just fun, like easy cozy mysteries. The audiobooks are incredible. The narrator for the audiobooks is amazing. If you're going to read these, I would recommend the audiobooks, not necessarily the physical books, because I think the audiobooks are just so lovely. And it's just my favourite cozy mystery series, okay? I'm going to try and get completely caught up in the next four in the series this year because it's just perfect. The series is perfect and I love it. Next we have the first classic mystery that I've ever read that wasn't Agatha Christie and that is the Winchringham Mystery by Anthony Berkeley. So in this, there's our main characters and newly employed, what's it called? Footman at this house. He had been kind of living in the same world as the people he's now serving, but he'd run out of money so he's now working as a footman. And there's this seance at the evening dinner. We've got a lot of characters. I did a whole video where I tried to solve this because this was famously one of the only books that Agatha Christie couldn't solve the final twist for. There's a seance and the lights go out and one of our characters goes missing. So it kind of is like a missing person murder mystery. They do, I feel like if it's a missing person and you're like trying to figure out how they've been kidnapped or have they been murdered, I often do class out still as a murder mystery because it's very much the same format. And I was just surprised by how much I really enjoyed the writing in this. I thought the writing was funny. I feel like a murder mystery is particularly typical ones. It's often like archetypal characters, right? Who have got a few key traits and they just play up on them, but I don't mind that. And I feel like this had that where like all the characters felt fleshed out. But yes, they were just archetypes for this. Okay. It's made me want to read a lot more classic murder mysteries that aren't just Agatha Christie. Like it's made me want to delve into this genre a lot more. So yeah, I'm definitely intrigued. I'll definitely try out some more from Anthony Berkeley. And it was just funny. It was a fun time, enjoyable. I don't know, I really enjoyed it. Next, I don't necessarily need to recommend these because I talk about them all the time, but we have the next two in the Thursday Matter Club. I've read both two and three. I gave them both five stars, but number three for me was better than number two. You've heard me speak about this a hundred times if you're here. Nothing new, nothing changed.  But the Thursday Matter Club is following a cast of characters who live at this retirement home. They have this club that they used to have every Thursday where they tried to solve cold cases, but then murders start turning up on their doorstep. And for me, these are just perfect. I love them so much. They are amazing. They are great mysteries, really clever murder mysteries. They are funny. They are joyful. They have such a wonderful perspective on life because you are following elderly characters. And I think when you get to that point in life, it's kind of seeing the beauty and everything. I don't know, I always come out of reading these books like hopeful for life. I don't know. Our cast of characters are just funny, endearing. I love the writing and I love the mysteries. So I had to give these a little bit of a shout out as well. Then a new surprise favourite for me was The Broken Girls by Simone St James. This was in my top three definitely books of last year. So we're following two timelines in this. One in the present day where we've got a woman whose sister was murdered, I think about 20 years ago, and the body was found on the grounds of this old school. And then we're following some girls at the school many years ago because a body has been found during renovations of the school that are now happening. And I don't usually like dual timelines, but I really loved the dual timeline in this. I thought both mysteries were equally interesting. I loved the writing. I loved the pacing. I thought it would just paste so well. It was kind of a book where you just have this wonderful time reading it.  And there is a little bit of like speculativeness. I won't get into much because it is kind of just at the end, just a little hint of something. But I loved that. I loved the development of that and where it took the book. I just thought it was so interesting because often I feel like if you're going to have a speculative element in a murder mystery, it's often at the beginning and then the ending is like, oh it was nothing. You know what I mean? Whereas this one, there's not really much of it throughout the book, but at the end there's just a little hint of something. Just a little hint hint. Simone St James after alluding to the speculative element the whole book. I think all of Simone St James books have that, so it's not really a spoiler. It's kind of like a feature of her books. But I just loved this. I thought the writing was incredible and I can't wait to make my way through all of Simone St James's backlist. Then one that I know is a little bit controversial and not everyone agrees with me, but I agree with me. It's The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley. Okay, so Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley. I loved this. This is another like missing person murder mystery. We've got a main character who turns up to her brother's Paris apartment and he is not there. We don't know where he is. Is he missing? Has he been killed? And she's kind of asking for the help of all of these people who live in the apartment block that he did and it becomes clear that everyone has secrets, you know? And this had a midway twist. I love a good midway twist that completely turns the book on its head that was just so good. I don't know. Not everyone else loved this. It hasn't made one know a lot of people have loved, but I did, okay? But the guests in The Paris Apartment just do something for me. They have those archetypal characters that like Agatha Christie had, where like they are identifiable by like key characteristics. Yes, that may, they're maybe a bit cardboard cut out, but like it's fun. It's fun. Her books are fun. This one I didn't love as much as the guest list, but I just think it was such a fun setting. The setting was almost a character in itself, you know, this Paris apartment with secret passageways and like being able to see people from across the center bit of the apartment block. I loved it. I really, really loved it. I had a great time. It gave me a twist I wanted. So if you enjoyed the guest list, I would recommend this, I think. And then lastly, I want to give a quick shout out to the two Agatha Christie's that I have read most recently. I read Death on the Nile and Perilla Endhouse. This was a five star and this was a 3.54 star. This one, everyone knows, set a boat in the Nile. This one, I feel like I can't remember what about the plot is a spoiler, what I can tell you, but just know there's a murder on a boat on the Nile, basically, and Akuparo is there to figure it out. And this one is kind of about a girl who seems to be, attempted murder seems to be happening. There is a murder about half way through the book, but like there's a, we're following a girl who it looks like someone keeps trying to kill her basically.  Her books are never very long. I would like to start Miss Marple this year. I'd like to read maybe one or two Marples and read one or two Akuparo's. Listen, I'm here for a long time hopefully, so hopefully I'll have time to read a lot of Agatha Christie's in my life over the years. So there we have it. That is the top 10 apart from there was five Ladyhound castles, two Agatha Christie's and two Rajasmans, but like 10 categories of murder mysteries that I have loved lately and that I think you should read. I love murder mysteries, my favorite genre. So yeah, I hope you enjoy some of these if you pick them up. If you got into the end of the video, comment your murder weapon of choice. And thank you so much for watching. I'll see you very soon in another video. Bye!


What a magnificent world we live in and share. Home to a great diversity of peoples, languages, customs and histories, spread out over hundreds of countries and thousands of groups, each rich in culture. Mankind has much to be proud of and to celebrate. But though learned behavior, those things to which we are exposed by the cultures we grow up in can serve as a great strength in our lives, it can also at times become a significant obstacle. It may seem that culture is so heavily embedded in our thinking and behavior that it is impossible to change. It is, after all, much of what we feel defines us and from which we feel a sense of identity. It can be such a strong influence that we can fail to see the man-made weaknesses or flaws in our own cultures resulting in a reluctance to throw off some of the traditions of our fathers. An over-fixation on one's cultural identity may lead to the rejection of worthwhile, even godly, ideas, attributes, and behavior. I knew a wonderful gentleman not too many years ago who helps to illustrate this universal principle of cultural myopia. I first met him in Singapore when I was assigned to be his family's home teacher, a distinguished professor of Sanskrit and Tamil. He hailed from the south of India. His wonderful wife and two sons were members of the church but he had never joined nor listened much to the teachings of the gospel. He was happy with the way his wife and sons were developing and supported them fully in their undertakings and church responsibilities. When I offered to teach him the principles of the gospel and share our beliefs with him, he initially balked. It took me a while to figure out why. He felt that by so doing, he would become a traitor to his past, his people, and his history. To his way of thinking, he would be denying everything his family had taught him to be, his very Indian heritage. Over the next few months, we were able to talk about these issues. I was odd, though not surprised by how the gospel of Jesus Christ was able to open his eyes to a different viewpoint. In most manmade cultures, there is found both good and bad, constructive and destructive. Many of our world's problems are a direct result of clashes between those of differing ideas and customs arriving from their culture. But virtually all conflict and chaos would quickly fade if the world would only accept its original culture, the one we all possessed not so very long ago. This culture dates back to our premortal existence. It was the culture of Adam and Enoch. It was the culture founded on the Savior's teachings in the meridian of time, and it is available to all women and men once again in our day. It is unique. It is the greatest of all cultures and comes from the great plan of happiness authored by God and championed by Christ. It unites rather than divides. It heals rather than harms. The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us that there is purpose in life. Our being here is not just some big cosmic accident or mistake. We are here for a reason. This culture is grounded in the testimony that our Heavenly Father exists, that he is real and loves each one of us individually. We are his work and his glory. It espouses the concept of equal worth. There is no recognition of caste or class. We are, after all, brothers and sisters, spirit children of our heavenly parents, literally. There is no prejudice or us versus them mentality in the greatest of all cultures. We are all us. We are all them. We believe that we are responsible and accountable for ourselves, each other, the church and our world. Charity, true Christ-like caring, is the bedrock of this culture. We feel real concern for the needs of our fellow man, temporal and spiritual, and act on those feelings. This dispels prejudice and hatred. We enjoy a culture of revelation, centered on the word of God as received by the prophets and personally verifiable to each one of us through the Holy Ghost. All humankind can know the will and mind of God. This culture champions the principle of agency. The ability to choose is extremely important for our development and our happiness. It is a culture of learning and study. We seek knowledge and wisdom and the best in all things. It is a culture of faith and obedience. Faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of our culture, and obedience to His teachings and commandments is the outcome. These give rise to self-mastery. It is a culture of prayer. We believe that God will not only hear us, but also help us. It is a culture of covenants and ordinances, high moral standards, sacrifice, forgiveness, and repentance, and the caring for the temple of our bodies. All of these witness our commitment to God. It is a culture governed by the priesthood, the authority to act in God's name, the power of God to bless His children. It edifies and enables individuals to be better people, leaders, mothers, fathers, and companions, and it sanctifies the home. True miracles abound in this, the oldest of all cultures, wrought by faith in Jesus Christ, the power of the priesthood, prayer, self-improvement, true conversion, and forgiveness. It is a culture of missionary work. The worth of souls is great. In the culture of Christ, women are elevated to their proper and eternal status. They are not subservient to men, as in many cultures in today's world, but full and equal partners here and in the world to come. This culture sanctions the sanctity of the family. The family is the basic unit of eternity. The perfection of the family is worth any sacrifice because, as has been taught, no other success can compensate for failure in the home. The home is where our best work is done and where our greatest happiness is attained. In the culture of Christ, there is perspective and eternal focus and direction. This culture is concerned with things of lasting worth. It comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is eternal and explains the why, what, and where of our existence. It is inclusive, not exclusive. Because this culture results from the application of our Savior's teachings, it helps provide a healing balm of which our world is in such a desperate need.  To be part of this culture, the greatest of all will require change. The prophets have taught that it is necessary to leave behind anything in our old cultures that is inconsistent with the culture of Christ, but that doesn't mean we have to leave behind everything. The prophets have also emphasized that we are invited, one in all, to bring our faith and talents and knowledge, all that is good in our lives and our individual cultures with us, and let the church add to it through the message of the Gospel. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is hardly a Western society or an American cultural phenomenon. It is an international church, as it was always meant to be. New members from around the world bring richness, diversity, and excitement into our ever-growing family. Latter-day Saints everywhere still celebrate and honor their own heritage and heroes, but now they are also part of something far grander. The culture of Christ helps us to see ourselves as we really are, and when seen through the lens of eternity, tempered with righteousness, it serves to increase our ability to fulfill the great plan of happiness. So what happened to my friend? Well, he was taught the lessons and joined the church. His family has since been sealed for time and all eternity in the Sydney Temple. He has given up little and gained the potential for everything. He discovered that he can still celebrate his history, still be proud of his ancestry, his music and dance and literature, his food, his land, and its people. He has found that there is no problem incorporating the best of his local culture into the greatest of all cultures. He discovered that bringing that which is consistent with truth and righteousness from his old life into his new one serves only to enhance his fellowship with the saints and to assist in uniting all as one in the society of heaven. We can indeed all cherish the best of our individual earthly cultures and still be full participants in the oldest culture of them all, the original, the eternal culture that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a marvelous heritage we all share in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.


When I've been joined by a security expert and social commentator, Kwanum Terence. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Alright, one of the news of bringing the toll gates back by the federal government dropped, different reactions from across the country. Can you share your own reaction with us? I think the federal government is losing track of what they are supposed to do for migrants at the moment because this is the country that has been involved by a lot of insecurity and challenges and everybody has been in progress and now you're trying to bring the toll and begin to tax them. That's why it can go easy. One thing we have done was look at the infrastructure that has been damaged through these insecurity issues because this will go to places like the North East where tax has been used on the road infrastructure and they are completely destroyed. We have been looking at bringing private sector participation into a building and infrastructure because as it stands at the moment, government is positively overwhelmed in the view of our infrastructure going forward. So I think the framework should have been how the private sector will have come and be able to develop our infrastructure and then harness back their investment. We are aware of certain roles in this country already that they have already considered to be Chinese government investors who are within the country already developing them and they have developed ways in which they are going to recover their money and also subscribe to the federal government finding ways of trying to begin to bring back huge taxes on Nigeria because even if we look at our road connections, most of our roads within 200 kilometres we must connect into another road that we use to pay the toll and that is going to be huge on a lot of migrant citizens that are going to be using these roads. I am talking about roads. Which roads is the federal government giving to roads because almost all of our roads in this country are totally in bad shape. They are completely damaged and we are losing Nigerians on a daily basis. So I don't think that road map is giving any hope for the Nigerians. Is the federal government in the hands of Nigerians on this call? Okay, let's now talk about the timing for this policy. Some have mentioned that we are yet to recover from COVID-19 and the economic challenges of that. So do you also think that this might be the wrong time to speak about things like this? Even if the minister has said that it wouldn't start until these roads are motorable? From the way they are even doing these roads, I don't think these roads will be motorable within their channel. And from the way I started, I told you that they are losing track of what actually they are supposed to do to Nigerians at the moment because this is a country that has been ravaged by insecurity and then with the pandemic that is still in great within the country. I think the right timing is completely wrong and I think they actually don't know what to do at the moment to please Nigerians with a complete schedule of this government in building infrastructure for all because they will use eight years to build no road at all because there is no road that has been completed by this government anywhere that I am aware of. Alright, and I also want us to talk about the public-private partnership idea, which you already mentioned. Do you see this as a huge step into completely pushing a lot of the infrastructure that needs work into PPP agreements? By completely subscribing to the federal government, going into private-private partnership in building our entire infrastructure, not just roads, that also has to do with our railway, that also has to do with the more important industries that are scattered all over this country because only through that that we can be able to truly believe in the kind of great engineering process that we need to bring back into this country because at the moment our government is completely overwhelmed at giving if they are borrowing to even pay the workers that are on their payroll so I don't see where the government is borrowing to pay workers on their payroll who is building infrastructure, so I subscribe completely to the public-private partnership and if this public-private partnership, if they are willing to develop this infrastructure obviously we are discussing the issues of toll, it is understandable because we know that they are willing to recover their money and after that those tolls will go away and they will be free to enjoy this infrastructure. Alright, final question, like you mentioned, this doesn't seem likely to kick off in the tenure of the current administration. Is there a possibility that by the time this government is leaving power or leaving office this agreement may be pushed aside? Yeah, I think the government that directs it and focuses on this kind of agreement this kind of business bodies, a rush kind of policies aside because it's not really something to look into because we are a country that needs to completely be overhauled both we have seen in the last eight years I think a government that will come and has a very good focus and plus will not be able to go into this kind of thing we need a better roadmap to be able to revamp our infrastructure and I think we are going to critically look into the people and the parties that can be able to do that for us in time to come because this government, this party and this government has completely discredited us in that regard. Right, obviously a lot of work needs to be done and we hope that we can speak with you again as time passes Thank you very much Kwanum Terence for joining us.


All right and we're live. So welcome everybody to the Building Your Brand session with CNCF. I'm calling in from LA and with me is Charlie and she's calling in from Berlin. We're very excited to be with you this morning and with that I guess we'll kind of jump into the slide deck. So I'm Bill Mulligan, I'm Marketing Manager at CNCF. If you have any questions during it please feel free to reach out to me. All my socials are there and also as we're going through the presentation if you have questions like please feel free to either drop them in the chat or message us directly.  Yeah hello. So as you can hopefully read I'm Charlie Mann and I manage content strategy for CNCF and by content we need end user stories. So case studies, spotlights, Philippian friends, think of me as someone who helps folks who consumer contribute to cloud native projects tell their stories. As Bill said I'm in Berlin so thankfully I didn't have to get up as early as possible. I'll be joining you all virtually for the next three days of coupon and it is really fantastic to see so many of you lovely folks here. I'm really looking forward to helping you find ways to leverage CNCF's many storytelling and promotional streams to build your brand. Awesome I'm at that I guess we can jump in. So there's kind of three main areas that CNCF kind of provides to its members and also people to help build their brand. So the first one is marketing amplification and brand awareness. The second one is cloud native community engagement and the third one is thought leadership across like technology trends. And so as we're going through the program we're going to break them down into these three buckets but obviously these aren't like hard and fast rules. A lot of the programs like mixed between each of these but yeah next slide. So the ones that we'll kind of like talk about in marketing amplification and brand awareness are the marketing committee online programs, the blog, Qube Weekly, QubeCon, cloud native con where we are right now and PR and analysts support. And then if we go to the next slide the things that we talk about in community engagement by the end user case study, investor program, Kubernetes partner placement, Kubernetes community days, Linux foundation membership and cloud native TV. And finally in the thought leadership side we have governing board participation. The different certification programs like certified Kubernetes, KCSP and ATPs, market research, TOC contributor and the interactive landscape placement. Yeah so that's all the programs at a high level. So yeah I guess we're done Charlie. All right yeah great session let's wrap it up. It's time to go our job here is done. Let's dive into the details. So marketing application and brand awareness. So the first thing is I actually have a message about this this morning asking where can I find a logo for KCSP to be on our website. So the great thing about CNCF is we've documented all of our branding guidelines and you can find all of our logos for whatever you need them for all our project certifications, memberships, those things on our website. So it's really easy to get to. So if you go to the next slide you can find all of it on github.com slash CNCF slash artwork and you can find every logo and every single format. I think this is an awesome resource for people that need to find things. I know I go here all the time for the different logos that I need. So if you want to pull out something for the event or your website this is the place to go for that. Next slide. Beyond that if you want to use some of the logos on like t-shirt wear so this is my logo from the last conference and I have another Linux foundation logo the Finos foundation. But if you want to get like any other branded stuff so for instance like you want to get like kubernetes t-shirts or stickers the most type of things we do have a CNCF store where you can do that. So you can buy these for your meetup your company your prize or event. We're also happy to help produce things if you want to and as I was saying before like we have all the logos and per our trademark guidelines you can use them for any non-commercial use cases. So you can't set up your own CNCF store and make money off of that but if you want to have things to hand out at meetups or you have a creative new swag thing that you'd like to hand out at your next event you are allowed to do that for these guidelines. Yeah Charlie do you want to talk a little bit about what's in the picture here? Oh gosh hang on can I can I go backwards? Yeah there you go. Did that work? Oh yes excellent. Gosh isn't it awful I work for CNCF and I can't. So yeah the pictures here you could actually see we have some really adorable swag for the Fipian Friends program and like Bill said you can actually use the Fipian Friends characters for your own purposes so if you want to print them individually on t-shirts if you want mugs if you want key chains you're free to do that which is a really really cool thing that you can do with CNCF. I really love that that you can use these characters to tell all sorts of different stories. Yep and I know shout out to Charlie she'll be giving a little session on Fipian Friends later later today right? It's tomorrow tomorrow is the Fipian Friends yeah session so more on that to come later. Yeah so be sure to stop by our session if you love this one you'll love that one too so next slide. So the other thing we talked about was the landscape placement. Various times this has been called the overwhelming the hellscape and yeah like pointless because it's so big but the great thing about the CNCF landscape is it does really give you a comprehensive overview of everything that's going on in the cloud native ecosystem. I know there's so many different projects and then we just go here when I need to find out what's going on in a certain area so yes it is kind of overwhelming to take in all at once but I don't think that's actually the way that a lot of people use the landscape so what they actually do is if you go to the next slide oh sorry okay. We changed a lot in this presentation. The really good thing is to dive down into certain areas say you're looking for what container runtime should I use in my production environment you can dive in see all the different options like you know be able to do a little research and you'll have a pretty comprehensive overview of whatever space you're looking at so that's the way a lot of people use it please also like add your projects and products to the landscape it's always great and I know a lot of people use it as a great resource when they're looking to discover a little bit more about it so if you haven't yet please add yourself to the landscape it's the self-service but via pull request all the details are in the github so next slide so the other thing that we can do is social media recognition now cncf is vendor neutral and project impartial but we do have a large audience that we can help share your message to so say you came out with a really great new blog article or there's an update to a cncf project cncf is happy to retweet that from the cncf handle the two ways to do that is to check out the hashtag social media channel and the cncf slack and or reach out to social at cncf.io and you can read the full guidelines about like what we can and can't do it's pretty well defined in the immediate guidelines so next slide the next thing that we can do is the online programs so if you're a member of cncf your company is entitled to different online programs so live webinars on-demand webinars the live stream option on cloud native live and also youtube playlist submission so this is a really great way to either create new content and share it with the cloud native community or reshare kind of content that you already existing have members so if you go to the next slide so depending on your membership level you're entitled to different things but even at the silver membership level you can have two activities per quarter so there's a lot of great ways to spread content that you already have um yeah and next slide and they also have a lot of great views so for example that last month we had five live streams with an average of 25 viewers and those live streams afterwards had a total of 3 000 views on youtube the same thing with the on-demand webinars another 3 000 views live webinars a thousand views and the end user launched live stream same thing so if there's it's a great way to spread your brand and message through the online programs so next slide the other thing that you can do is contribute to cube weekly this is a weekly newsletter that goes out to over 15 000 subscribers the the great thing about this is it's taking content from your blog say you have a great new technical blog post that you'd like to share or you wrote something up that you want to share with the wider cloud native community you can submit it to cube weekly and it goes out to all of our readers so for example you can see here the one from a couple weeks ago about like what to expect from cube con cloud native con north america so there's going to be a headline section there's going to be a technical section and there's also going to be an editorial section too and the other thing is if you want to propose any content like please just send it to cube weekly at cncf.io and we'll get it on the newsletter so next slide the other thing is if you want to not just have things on your blog but also share it with the cncf blog or the kubernetes blog you can do that too this is open to both member companies and also people i know i've helped a lot of people that are working in the kubernetes community program talk about their story we've had the team from kcd glada malah talked about like their story and how they got inspired to run one there the same thing for kcd uk that one's coming out right after cube con so lots of great ways to share your written message too next slide i can say and just a note on that the cncf and the kubernetes blog so obviously we run the the cncf blog we curate that content but the kubernetes blog is curated by the community and it does need to be kubernetes content so just remember that when you're deciding what you want to submit oh and i just saw a question can the same blog be considered for both cube weekly and cncf yes it can but cube weekly it has to be original content so make sure you put it there first so the next slide cool and this is just our guidelines on exactly how to submit to both of these you can come through the member desk or you can email blogs at cncf.io and we wanted to show you this slide so we've started um contributed content analytics so this is content for cncf not for cube weekly or the kubernetes blog um we've spun up these really nifty analytics dashboards so you can see how your content is performing we don't have this available for cube weekly or the k8 blog purely because they're managed by the community but for any cncf content you've contributed these dashboards alive 24 hours a day and you can set the searches by all kinds of different time bands like what's happened in the last year what's happened in the last week and you can access them at any time actually using the link that you can see on this slide and another one so i'm not sure how many of you um follow our technology radar so if you're an end user member you have the opportunity to participate in this it's a quarterly technology radar they're produced by our end user ecosystem team at cncf and at the beginning of each quarter we randomly pick around five end user organizations from the landscape and we ask do you want to take part in curating the radar the process if you are asked involves around two zoom calls with the radar group plus filming a webinar to discuss the results and if your company wasn't picked you can still take part in the voting stage um to have your voice heard your representatives to or specified when you joined they're going to receive an email each quarter when the votes are open and if you'd like to be part of the radar if your company would like to be part please slack me um charlie man i'm on the cncf slack we can talk these get great coverage in places like info queue etc and it's a really great way to to push your technical spokespeople as thought leaders in the industry so and then we've got end user story elements so if you have a great vendor neutral story you want to share with the global community please look no further than this program it's designed to help you amplify your stories in the best way you can for your organization we've got a couple of ways you can do this you can publish a written case study which appears on the homepage of cncf.io it's a self service option and we'll publish anything from one to three case studies each month um we promote these on our social channels as well so we really try and push that readership up this is open to any end user organization working with graduated or incubating projects you don't necessarily have to be a member um for members who are from vendor companies so if you are building products with cloud native um projects and then selling them on we want to stay vendor neutral but you can write about your end users and we will find a way to mention you um in the case studies you can also participate in an end user journey report and this is to demonstrate how your organization has grown as a tech leader only open to platinum and gold end user members right now and I'm going to show you an example of what this looks like in a few minutes um as Bill might have mentioned you can actually participate in the end user lounge livestream again this is with the ecosystem team this is really fun you haven't like a direct one-on-one interview with Katie Kamungi who leads this um and it's a really exclusive livestream for end users designed to showcase how you navigate the cloud native ecosystem um again open to all end user members and lastly you still can leverage the cncf's online programs to showcase your case study webinars you can submit a pre-recorded video case study for our youtube channels this is open to all cncf members and you can find all of the details on github and this is an example of a recent case study that we did with seagate we published this at the end of august and it's already the 13th most read case study of the year which is pretty great for only six weeks um as you can see we do require a couple of things for a case study to be successful um and one is metrics we really want numbers numbers don't have to be financial but we really want to find out how cloud native projects have made your business successful and as i mentioned um just a couple of minutes ago this is what an end user journey report looks like this was our very first end user journey report was Spotify and published at just a couple of weeks ago these reports are a real deep dive they highlight the active end user community members and they demonstrate how these organizations grow as technology leaders and how they benefit from the wider cloud native community it it is a lot more involved than a case study if you do want to take part but we ensure these receive really good promotion and media outreach so if you are interested if you represent a gold or a platinum member organization please reach out to me directly on slack and we can talk so and now we are on to community engagement cool perfect and this is what i get excited about because you know meeting and interacting people i think is the best part about the cloud native community everyone's super friendly and we love you know uh chatting and being being friends with each other um and so a great way to kind of like build your local community is to join a cloud native community group so this is previously our meetups program and what these are is a way for people in the local area say in your city or in your region connect and build a community with one another and you'll find them if you go to the next slide all around the world so you can export by your region i know there's i think there's like 300 different um uh meetup groups or cloud native community groups all around the world there's also ones for different projects so if you want to connect with people in your local area or you know find more about about a project then this is kind of your place to go so next slide the other thing that we do is have ambassadors and these are the people out there promoting the cncf brand a lot of them run cloud native community groups but some of them do other things in the community and the ecosystem too if you want to you know really get connected and like plugged into people who know a lot about the ecosystem check out our ambassadors there's more than likely one in your local area um they're great resources the people there the people organizing the community um chatting with the community so please feel free to jump into the ambassadors and chat chat with them there so next slide the other program that i run that i really love is the kubernetes community day program um i'm really biased because it's my program but it's actually my favorite program at cncf and so what these are is kind of like the next level up from the cloud native community groups it's you know local regional conferences um that are run by the community um kubecon is great but i think the fun thing about kcds is it brings kind of like the local flair and the local people um and brings them together in the in the cloud native community um go through the slide deck check out the blog post that talks kind of about it and you can see uh different kcds that are launched right now on cloud native community group so next slide like for example the ones that are being run right now uh is in just this past month we had kcd korea with 1200 attendees and kcd uk with 341 attendees and even more online it's going to be super packed going into the end of the year i thought it was going to slow down after kubecon but people are so excited about the kubernetes community days that we're going to have a ton of them going into the end of the year so kcd italy kcd washington bc kcd indonesia uh shout out to giri i'm in person for the first time last night uh kubecon which is really exciting kcd china kcd uh guatemalan kcd pakistan so events really all around the world there's probably one in your local region if there's not uh you can organize it and guess what the best thing is uh not the maybe maybe the worst thing depends on your perspective as you get to meet with me every single month uh we get we get to chat too so please submit your event today or reach out to me if you have any questions another thing that we have is uh the speaking at kubecon um obviously this is what we're doing right now and we'll i'm going to run over to the sessions before or you can run over virtually after this the sessions are going to be started uh this is you know really the place where cloud native comes together to connect uh share with each other on the cutting edges i know a lot of people like launch things or discuss what what's coming up next in the cloud native ecosystem at kubecon the cfp for eu is still open so if you want to speak at kubecon like please submit your talk today um i know a lot of people are getting ideas at kubecon uh from all the sessions that they're having and it'll help them create their uh cfp for eu too so next slide okay there we go um the other thing that's great about kubecon is we have so many co-located events so these are the events that have been happening the last two days uh originally just one day like day zero but now it's day i guess negative one and day zero and and it keeps on expanding because there's so many great things happening around the ecosystem you know this is kind of the things that are growing in cloud native and it's more focused on the specific project so we have things like supply chain security con production identity day prom con around prometheus envoy con um and there's a lot of like cool things to to check out so if you haven't seen them already um you you missed out this time but sign up for them next time and the events will be going off on youtube so next slide there's even more um now like this is really i think we're kind of like if you want to learn about like where cloud native is going and the cutting edge of it like check out the co-located events because these are kind of like the up and coming topics that everyone is talking about so things like get ops things like developer experience this is really where you learn kind of where cloud native is going next or share what you're doing to drive cloud native boards so next slide um charlie is this one yours i think it was yours but i can talk about it you want sure okay um so we have um a cncf community speakers bureau and basically what we want to do is we want to help connect people with expertise about our different projects and about different areas in the cloud native community to groups who want to learn about that so if you have a meetup group you can come on to our cncf speakers bureau you can search for speakers by the area of expertise where they are in the world we have over 300 speakers um this is really fantastic all of them are really genuinely lovely people and they will come to your event and they will help you learn whatever is that you want to learn we've had a little update to this um we've launched project pages um for our individual cncf hosted projects so you can also now find speakers through that if that's easier for you oh and our jobs board i actually learned um actually something really interesting um about the jobs board that we have over 5600 job seekers who've applied for a job since we launched this this is insane um and actually on a personal level i started working with the cncf through a contract job that i saw posted on this jobs board so if you want to take advantage of this as a member and post your jobs here you'll attract great candidates obviously like me um but also people who are super experienced in all kinds of cncf projects um people really do use this to uh to connect to the jobs that they want to go into next um what's my next one bill yeah so the next one is all the stuff we're doing with students and mentoring um so if you're a student uh i had a session yesterday talking about all the different resources you can check out the video right now on our twitch livestream um but the two things that I want to check out is the students repo it's also uh github.com slash cncf slash students and you can find more resources for getting started in the ecosystem and also we have paid mentorships or like internship opportunities to work on uh open source projects so these are two great programs that I finally encourage uh students to be involved in and really anyone new to the cloud native ecosystem next slide the other thing that we have is cloud native tv um this is really a program started like by the community for the community and it's a way to have more interactive experiences uh so actually you're experiencing it right now we're live streaming to you you know interacting and um chatting about like your questions in real time we have a bunch of great show hosts uh from all around the community covering things different things like how to contribute to projects uh projects 101 there's a game show like putting things in production talking about the crossover between um art and like technology so if you want to learn more about the cloud native ecosystem there's lots of great live streams all the time um yeah and come back here to cloud native tv click that uh subscribe buttons that you always stay informed with what's going on here so next slide the other thing that we have is a member referral program um and this is great not only because you're helping grow the cloud native ecosystem but also uh that you uh get a social like a benefit out of it too if you give us an introduction we'll give you shout outs um or credits or like a ticket to a different cnc event and if you if the your referral actually becomes a member or supporter we help give you a webinar or a homepage blog promotion so not only are you helping grow the cloud native ecosystem but you're also helping grow your brand too so next slide and the last section we're talking about today is thought leadership i mean this might be um one of mine so if you are looking to contribute thought leadership into the cncf ecosystem um we would love you to become a contributor and there's a couple of ways that you can do this one of the things that we've started recently is the cloud native glossary so this is a community initiative and the whole idea is to demystify cloud native concepts so this includes explanations for the most common terms and tooling that you'll discover um you can contribute new terms and you could also contribute language translations like i think we have spanish translations coming and you can find the glossary under the link in this presentation and this is a really great way i think to both get started contributing and dip your feet in the water but it's also a great way to lend the thought leadership a very experienced practitioner in your organization to a really important topic and and as we say on the slide um if you want to come and contribute to this you know you can put it on linkedin you can put it on your cv and it really will boost that employability factor that's so important today in this really competitive industry we also have the cloud native maturity model this is another new initiative this launched literally just weeks ago um you may have heard bill like joking earlier about the landscape slash hellscape so this model is actually designed to like further demystify the landscape and it's really to help organizations who are just on their road to cloud native and explaining what happens at each step of the journey and if you want to hear more about the work this group produces it's called the cartographos group please make sure you catch admiral basher's island adventure with fipian friends it's a book reading it's tomorrow at 11 a.m it's going to be live at the la convention center and it's also going to be on the virtual platform and this is a really fantastic introduction to the kind of really fun but really important work for this group of doing and i know i've been working with them they are actively looking for contributors so this is another really great way um to get involved and what are we on next huh training so as you may know we are the home of kubernetes and we really want to make the community as successful as possible so we offer certified and recognized training and we also offer certifications for organizations um as you can see from the numbers on this slide we have seen a huge uptick in folks who want to get certified and organizations that want to get certified and according to linux foundation and edx they do this open source jobs report every year and in 2020 52 percent of hiring managers said they're more likely to hire someone with certification and that's up from 47 percent a couple of years ago so it's only a small change but it's a change and as members of cnc there are discounts available for you on these trainings um you need to have a look again at your membership level to see what's open to you um but these are available i'm really happy to help sort of answer any questions and connect you to the right trainings for your organizational for you individually um we can take you through some of the most popular certifications that we offer so we have certified kubernetes conformance so this program kind of has three benefits and it's for your organization so obviously consistency any kubernetes user wants consistency when they're interacting with any installation of kubernetes um you also have to make sure that you provide timely updates now if you're going to go down this path and get certified and you need to remain certified you need to provide the latest version of kubernetes yearly or more frequently so you can be sure you always have access to latest features that the community has been working on um and lastly there's confirmability so end users must be able to confirm their distribution or platform remains conformant by running an identical open source conformance application that was used to certify we really encourage organizations to look for products that display the certified kubernetes logo if they want to install kubernetes so if you are a vendor if this is something that you'd like to do please do consider um getting your conformance because you get to display this lovely sticker um on your products we also have a certified kubernetes service provider program so if you'd like your organization to become a certified provider again a couple of requirements three or more of your engineers have to pass the cka exam this is the certified kubernetes administrator exam and it's basically to prove that you have the skills and the knowledge and the competency to perform all the responsibilities of kubernetes administrators um you need to have a business model that supports enterprise end users and you need to be a cncf member um i can show you here right now we have 222 certified service providers all of their logos are also on the cncf website so when companies are looking for a kubernetes service provider they often come to the website and choose somebody who they know has been certified by cncf and at an even deeper level um we have the kubernetes training partners program so if folks are looking for specialized training the maps directly to the certified kubernetes administrator that i talked about that certification um and also the certified kubernetes application developer exams there's a lot of acronyms in cncf i'm sorry um you can choose from a list of these ktps uh who've passed this qualification process it's highly rigorous um it's a much tougher set of criteria as you can see by this slide the requirements to become a certified training partner so there aren't as many um of these but you can see all these logos again on our website and if you are looking for a training partner of course you can come to any one of these and know in confidence that you're going to be getting absolutely top-notch service and i think this was um back to you bill for explaining a little bit about how you um you get a project in the sandbox yeah absolutely so cncf currently has 114 projects under its umbrella um i know a lot of people think of just you know the graduate of ones like kubernetes and prometheus but there's so many more and there's so much more happening in the cloud native ecosystem and you know the great thing about donating projects to cncf and why people are doing it is we provide you know that vendor neutral home to let projects grow and flourish on their own um and there is a lot of reasons to donate to a foundation if you're thinking about it but um we are here to support you on the journey and we would love to have you consider donating your project to the cncf sandbox um and there's a whole process for this um but the great thing that it does is you know provide an ability to uh have the community come together without having to worry about where the project is going or if one company is going to own it so if you go to the next slide there's lots of reasons to like host at cncf it provides the vendor neutral home uh you get a lot of resources like marketing uh technical resources like cloud credits there'll be like more announcements about that coming up um and yeah if you're considering doing it uh please feel free to like reach out to me and i can connect you with the right people in the organization we'd love to have you consider cncf as the home for your cloud native project yeah so next slide the last thing we're going to talk about today is the member resources uh if you're a cncf member um please uh you can go to member desk at cncf dot cncf dot i o and this will give you resources to all the things we went into presentation so i know we went through a lot of information today but if you want to do something like how do i submit a blog post or how do i like get into the slack channel this is a great resource for you to dive into to answer those questions and submitting that will like get you an answer as fast as possible um so go go to the member desk if you have any questions so next slide um yeah and this is kind of like the the feedback that you can do um the other way to reach out to us is just info at cncf dot i o uh also Charlie and i are both in the cncf slack please feel free to reach out to us there if you have any questions um i know i had some this morning about like different how to get involved in different programs always happy to help answer and help people you know build the brand in the cloud native community so next slide and the last thing i want to say is the community is always hiring um there are so many ways to get involved we would love to have you help grow and spread the voice of cloud native uh there's all these programs to take advantage of and we would love to have you do that so with that next slide feel free to contact us at any point if you have any questions uh my email is there my twitter is there you can also just like book a meeting with me um i know Charlie's contact information is there too yeah if you have any questions like please feel free to drop them in the chat and we can help answer them now um yeah so the first one is is membership only for companies uh yeah so membership is only for companies um but there's so many ways uh that individuals can get involved too it's it's free to contribute to any open source project under cncf umbrellas um the uh like bigger programs are just for things that are more focused on like uh like that companies would take advantage of but you as an individual contributor like don't have to pay anything to uh contribute to cncf um there's a question like how do we get um a link to be slides let me drop them in the chat one more time so you can have them yep so there's a slide back for anybody that needs it we'll also be um posting this afterwards and this recording will be available on youtube afterwards too how to contribute to cncf uh it's a lot bigger discussion i'd highly recommend you check out the uh college to cloud native student session that i did yesterday your if you're on watching on cloud native tv you can find it under the video sections at the bottom and i'll go into how to contribute to cncf any more questions from the audience things that we can help out with uh we would love to have you build your brand and spread the cloud native voice if not uh charlie any last parting words you'd like to say i think that was really fun and it was actually so nice to i mean obviously not meet folks in person i see a lot of people face to face um i see a lot of people are asking how to get into the cncf slack bill you just you can just join up if you're a slack user um you can come into the cncf workspace um it is open bill's just posted the link it's slack dot cncf dot io um once you're in there it's probably going to look pretty blank but once you start searching for our groups we have tons of groups

see you later thanks all


Stealth Activities, in Moodle 3.3 Earlier versions of Moodle had a quirk that allowed activities to be hidden inside extra weeks or topics, but still be accessible to students. These were known as orphaned activities. Some advanced Moodle users exploited this quirk as a way to achieve particular designs for their courses. Now in Moodle 3.3, you can put any activity into stealth mode to achieve this same effect in a more officially supported way. Let's take a look at an example and see how it works. In this exam preparation course, there are several revision quizzes. It would look neater if they could be listed in a single page, such as this one. But if we hide the quizzes, they won't be available when students click them in this page. A new site-wide setting enables admins to choose whether to allow activities to be available, but not shown in visible sections of the course page. If the admin enables this setting, then the teacher can simply choose any item, click to hide it, and then click again to make it available, but not shown on the course page. First, our teacher hides the quiz. Notice the blue message reminding teachers this item is hidden. He can then choose to make the quiz available but not shown on the page by selecting this option from the Action menu. Notice again the useful reminder to teachers. He does this for the other quizzes too, and then all he needs to do now is add the links to the quizzes in the single page. Or, as our teacher has done, if he uses the quiz names, then the activity auto-linking filter will do his work for him. Note that if the administrator doesn't enable this new stealth setting in advanced features, teachers can still make activities available but not shown, but first they must hide the whole topic. When our student enters the course, she doesn't see the list of quizzes. She does see the single page, and when she clicks on it, she can easily access the revision quizzes to do them, and she'll be able to see the results in the grade book. To summarise, teachers can put activities into stealth mode, so they're not shown on the course page, but remain usable by students.


Tarzan of the Eads, from the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, with Mr. James H. Pierce as Tarzan and Mr. John Burroughs as Jane Porter. This is an American gold seal production. Professor Porter and his party, seeking his lost daughter Jane, are captured by cannibals. To escape annihilation, they gain refuge in the sacred temple cave of the tribe, taking the native witch doctor with them. Tarzan, who has rescued Jane from the jungle's perils, tries to help the professor, but is driven off by the arrows of the blacks. Inside the cave, Lieutenant Darlo tries to extract from the witch doctor the secret of how to get out of the cavern. Later, they find the witch doctor apparently dead. Now, are you ready? Hold your breath! Dad, dude, it's never possible, Monsieur. I read it not from him. No. It would take more than we did to kill that witch doctor. Nevertheless, he's dead, my no Monsieur. I perceive that he is not dead. He is in a trance. I said it in poor trance. You mean a state of suspended animation? Self-ignition? Yes. Yes. I have heard that such a thing was practiced by some of these tribes, but this man certainly looks gay. And if what Darlo says is correct, he might as well be dead for all the years to come. Yes. It'll be as difficult to learn the secret of the way out of here from the rich as it would be if he were dead. I do not know about that. At least I am going to try drastic remedies. What? May I ask? I am going to bleed him. But Darlo, he may die. What if he does? He got to think of his best. If he does die, we won't be any worse off than we are, but he is in a trance. No. Oh, no. I have no sympathy with the witch doctor, and no more of eye treatment. But remember, if he dies, we are liable never to get out of here to attempt to bleed him. When none of us is a surgeon, seems a little short of murder. I do not look at it in that way, Monsieur. It is his life or ours. And since the witch doctor passed us in here, well, I personally feel that we have the right to try the experiment at least. I, for one, do not propose to die just because it's unethical. The faucet blighted to lead us out. Yeah, Monsieur Clayton, as I have, but still two people could postpone the operation. See, he may come out of this. No, Monsieur. He can throw himself into one of these pictures often as he pleases. And we shall die of starvation or suffocation. Suffocation? But there seems to be plenty of pressure.  The whole place is honeycombed with similar volcanic tubes and glues. We never know, at any moment, that some of these starboxes may fill this place with sufferers soon. That is true, down note. In fact, already I have noticed a choking sensation, and it's getting warmer in here. I'm going to examine this cabinet. The fact that there is a current of fresh air, even with the entrance being blocked up, convinces me that there must be another exit somewhere. Some are more disturbance outside, down note. Do you suppose it can be said we'll come to look for the witch doctor? I know, but I cannot hear what they are shouting about. I am going up to the front of the cabinet where I can hear. And you may go about their thing, down note. There is something about the White Devil God setting fire to one of the huts and killing a neckie. Then, perhaps at the end of the age, try to draw them away from here in order to rescue us. Yes, and where are you on a sort of balcony that runs round three sides of the cave? As nearly as I can tell. Are there any signs of light? Should be. Yes, the air ought to be pure as here, below. Meditama! Some men felloping falls over the jungle, safe where the torches of the blacks throw a shifting and uncertain light. The big cats begin their nightly prowl in search of food. Numa, the lion, hungry, angry, makes for the waterhole. Cheetah, the leopard, sleek, glossy and cunning, slinks through the tall bamboo. From the fringe of the forest, Dango the hyena calls to his brothers that here by the cave is meat. Meat for the taking, the kind that Dango likes. Meat that does not have to be fought for. A kill made possible by the bravery of others. High in the treetops, Jane and Tarzan watch the natives who have been left to guard the cave. Natives who only a short time before have tried to kill them, and who if they had for much as a chance would kill them now at sight. Yes, Jane. If father and Cecil and the others do manage to get out of the cave, these natives will kill them. There are too many for them. Yes, but father no come out of cave. What do you mean Tarzan? If father could come out of cave, he come out before now. Father not wait night time before come out. Yes, I suppose that is true. They would have come out right away if they could. If the black foot only go away, then we might do something to help father and the others. Pretty soon they go away. The goldman, Janney. Why? What makes you think so? Why will they go away? A little more dark, Tarzan kills. But Tarzan, you can't kill all of them. There are too many. Tarzan not kill all. Some Tarzan kill. Others frighten, go away. But Tarzan, you can't go down there. I won't let you.  Then Tarzan go another place. One, two, kill. Some goldman, Janney frighten, run. Oh, I know. I suppose you must do it to save daddy. But I'm afraid every moment you're away. Goldman, Janney no see, Jane. Jane stay here in tree. Jane need not be afraid. I'm not afraid for myself. Not anymore. But if anything happens to you Tarzan, I don't know what I do. Don't be so heedless of danger. No speak. Goldman, Janney come. You're going to shoot from here? Yes. That sounds as if you got him. Yes. Jane no move. Tarzan go over there. Don't be careful. Don't let them see you. Goldman, Janney no see, Tarzan. Only a little bit afraid. Goldman, Janney see Tarzan, plenty afraid. Yes, you're right. But do be careful. I'll watch from here. Down below, unseen to Tarzan and Jane, a black is watching. He hears the voices. He sees Tarzan swing his way through the trees closer to the cave. The warrior steps cautiously into the open. Raises his bow, pulls the arrow back to its barbed poison head. An eighty torch flares up. Jane looks down. She sees the black, knows that the arrow is pointed at Tarzan. A split second hesitation as the black studies himself. Enough for Jane. She whips out her revolver. Oh, I hate him. Oh, I hope I was in time. There was no call from Tarzan. He must be all right. But old Tarzan wouldn't call out even if he were hurt. Jane all right? Oh, old Tarzan. Oh my dear. I thought I hardly dared to think. You must leave me again. I know you're able to look after yourself. But I'm terrified. Terrified for you every moment you're away. No cry. Jane no cry. Tarzan stay. Jane shoot straight. Tarzan see. I, I hated to do it Tarzan. But I knew that he could see you. Gomengane, good shot too. Arrow go whiz. Here, past my head. It, it didn't touch you? No. Dear. What mean dear? Dear? Dear? I, why, why do you ask? When Jane very afraid, Jane say, oh Tarzan. Oh my dear. Oh, oh dear. Yes, dear, dear. Why, why it's something like a goat. Only it isn't a goat. Tarzan, not understand. No, I hope. I mean, I, I thought you wouldn't. Tarzan, look. See below. Another black. Tarzan, kill. Down in the gallery of the cave Tarzan's call carries to Darno and the party searching for an outlet. Listen. What's that? A mysterious sound. No, no, no, Darno. That's the call that Tarzan makes when he kills. You are not meant to tell me that that human being made that sound. It's not. Every time that Tarzan makes the kill, he raises his head to the sky and, well, you heard him. But the important thing is he's still out there. If he's been there ever since we got Jane's message, they, Tarzan of the ancient Jane, must be waiting for us. Yes, Tarzan. Let's not postpone our treatment of the witch doctor another minute. Let's make him show us some way out of here. All right. Come on. I left him behind the orchard with Francois. That's what I thought. But he's not here. But you must be mistaken, Mr. Clayton. Right there. You, you are right, Mr. Clayton. Where is Francois? Yes. Where? But it cannot be. They must be here. Francois! Has the witch doctor outwitted Lieutenant Dono and made his way out of the cave? We'll talk...
