In the past weeks, we have been looking at the historical aspect of corporate governance. We have seen its contextualization, we have seen how ethical leadership, challenges of ethical living, behavioral ethics and how corruption and anti-corruption modes, nodes and modalities have been affecting the development of corporate governance around the world. Another thing that we have seen ladies and gentlemen is that there is a difference from continent to continent, sometimes from country to country and customs, traditions, norms, rules and regulations play a very important role in defining the corporate governance model which is practiced in any country. We have also seen the role of different institutions that how they have contributed towards corporate governance and how over the decades it has nurtured to become a major school of thought, a major school of practice and also a school of research and implementation. Now, today, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to embark upon a journey which is more technical. We will look at the different technical progressive steps that have been taken over the past few decades. Now, when we look at the module of corporate governance, then what we see is that its genesis basically begins with the Watergate scandal. So when we are looking at the Watergate scandal in the United States, then we see that it is linked with the emergence of corporate governance as a major field of study, as a major set of regulations so the US regulatory and legislative bodies were able to highlight control failures that had allowed several major corporations to make illegal political contributions and to bribe government officials. So what we see, ladies and gentlemen, is that way back in the 70s and 60s that political bribes were given through corporations and there was a lot of window dressing and there was a lot of substitution which was taking place and whenever audits would take place they would be more based upon just a customary obligation and that's all. And the real nuances of the funds and the funding and also the idiosyncrasies evolved in the financial aspects of the company would not emerge. But the Watergate scandal basically was a watershed actually of moving towards corporate governance and ensuring that corporations are made accountable and the securities and exchange commissions and regulatory bodies they become more powerful and also could regulate the companies in the right direction to basically ensure and protect the rights of the shareholder and the stakeholders. So that is a very, very important aspect. Now we see that this led to the development of the Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. The Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 contained specific provisions regarding the establishment and maintenance of internal controls and this was followed in 1979 by the Securities and Exchange Commission proposal for mandatory reporting on eternal financial control. So what we see ladies and gentlemen is this emergence of a new law which basically was an overarching law which looked at foreign interference, which looked at corrupt practices and again how different organizations were sidelining the legal system and benefiting illegally with a biased approach to a discriminatory approach, the different corporations and the different political parties. So this is something which was considered to be a major way forward in the context of law and then we see that in 1985 the Treadway Commission was formed. The Treadway Commission was formed to identify the main causes of misrepresentation in financial reports and to recommend ways of reducing the incidents thereof. So what we see is that this 1985 Treadway Report again tends to streamline, tends to regulate, tends to create frameworks, tends to create capsules whereby the expenses and finances of the company came under scrutiny and anyone doing anything wrong could be identified and then there could be some regulatory repercussions also taken and this ensured that the companies became more transparent, became more visible and all the underhand activities which were taking place, they were eliminated step by step. What we see is that the Treadway Report was published in 1987, it highlighted the need for proper control of the environment like I was talking about, the independent audit committees and an objective internal audit function and called for published reports on the effectiveness of internal control. So what we see is that the environment of secrecy was replaced with an environment of openness and whatever financial audit would be doing it would eventually be published as a report so that everyone would have access to how the organization was working and what were its different idiosyncrasies and what were its different factors which either led to profits or would be leading to losses. The commission also requested the sponsoring organizations to develop an integrated set of internal control criteria to enable companies to improve their control. So again this Treadway Commission came up with this recommended report that how companies could function in a better way, what type of internal control mechanisms should be over there, how they should be monitored, evaluated and regulated and most importantly how companies could improve controls to optimize their profitability, to maximize their sales and to ensure that the different stakeholders and shareholders' rights were basically being protected. So again we see that these legal frameworks came into existence. These different legal models were implemented and in some countries they were country specific while in others they were more generalized and followed around the world. So these new developments which emerged basically propelled corporate governance into the limelight and based upon that corporations and companies and legal entities started following the different stipulations of the corporate governance regiments which were either prevalent in their own country or available on a regional or global level. So thank you so much everyone, very kind of you.


And gunmen have killed a chieftain of the all-progressive Congress APC, Ahmed Gulak, in Umoyeze, Obyangu community along Sam Bakwe Airport Road in Oweri Emo State. The former A-to-X president, Goodluck Jonathan, was heading to the airport when the assailants attacked him and shot him on the spot. He was trailed from his hotel room to the spot where he was killed. The police public relations officer of the Emo State Police Command, Bala Al-Kana, is here to be briefed on the incident.


And here at the ID TechEx show, this is a revolutionary sensor right here, right? So hi, so who are you? Hi, I'm Shun Kuroki, the CEO of a company called Aroma Bit. And what is this? This is our compact smell sensor module. So what are we looking at here? It looks like there's five things. Yes, so each of them is a sensor substrate. This is called QCM, or stands for Quartz-Crystal Microballus. So it's basically a very high-precision, sensitive sensor element that can detect the mass of the molecules. And on top of it is our membrane that functions as a receptor of your nose. And in this case, there are five different materials where each of them have different chemical affinity or basically stickiness on the chemical sense. So it says SDK 1Q, are you selling a development kit right now? Yes. It looks like with this, it looks similar to this? We actually give only this red part. Only the red part? Yes, right. And what do you connect to? You can connect to any PCBs right over the system. What's a connector? A connector is a SPI standard, which you can usually, is a very standard that you can use to connect to a system like Raspberry Pi. So let's put it back right here. So here I see something that's called Aroma Coder, 35Q model series. What is Aroma Coder? Is it desktop? Yes. So Aroma Coder is desktop type high resolution, or high resolution instruments where you can, under one scan, take 35 different data sets in a data set. So this is a place you put something inside of it? Yes. Where is it put? This is where you put it. You open it? You put the sample in?  Switch on? Then you get 35 different sensor output data. So this one has five and this one has 35? Yes. So it's more resolution? Higher resolution. But five, you can do a lot with five? Already, yes, with five. For instance, you can monitor spoilage of food. That's amazing. That's a big market, right? I think so.  For instance, yes. Maybe. If you have your own. Yes. Can you put this in the phone? Yes, eventually, as you can see, it's pretty small compared to my finger. And we think they can make it much smaller in near future. Where are you based? We're based in Tokyo, Japan. And what are we seeing here? Is it connected now? Yes. So what can we see? So this actual sensor output expressed as in the change in frequency of the five elements you saw. And when you breathe on it, you blow on it, you get to see the response, okay? Can I do that? So that was you? Yes, actually. So I breathe on it? Go ahead. That's what you want to take. So that means I have to brush my teeth? What does it mean? So that... In theory, it could? In theory, yes. That's actually looking at the pattern of your breath, basically. And this is really providing a reading of smell. This is the science of smell? Yes. And it's scientifically proven this is how smell works? Well, mechanically, yes. In theory, because our sensors actually check monitoring is a very high-precision mass detector. So when the molecule hits the surface of the sensor, it changes the frequency based on the mass change. So does that mean what we have in the nose is just a sensor of a frequency of something? Okay, so your nose has a different mechanism, but our sensor mimics exactly what your nose is doing. So the nose has 35 different sensors or something like that? In case of humans, they believe to be 400 different receptors. Some studies say more than 1,000. That's relative to our currently available 35 sensors. So these receptors are physically inside the nose somewhere, somehow. Yes. And they are tuned, they're optimized or they're... What's it called? They have learned something in our past that make us recognize a smell. Actually, you actually learn as you grow up an input smell, just like building a database. Along with other sensory systems, input output from the other sensory systems such as your eyes and your brain. And we calibrate that sense, right, in our nose or something like that? Yes. And you do something similar? In our cases, we can do that through by utilizing available technology such as AI in a machine learning to make it more advanced and smaller. So there's five different colors, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink. Yes. And what are they? Are they like the five you think are the most important five? No, this five is actually randomly chosen. Five different films where each of the film have different chemical affinity or stickiness. So in this case, we did choose five. Probably more common. Reaction to expected for various applications. So are you a very famous company or a new company? Well, we've been founded in 2014, so it's year five for us. So we're a startup, but very recently we've been founded from a large corporate company such as Sony. And for every time we come to this kind of startup event, we get a lot of awards. So we're getting there, I think. 2014, now it's 2019. So five years, is it shipping? Or is it still development kits so far? No, so this is actually ready. This SDK, the sensor module that you can actually, it's on mass production. Ready. And how do I, if I want to make a phone, because every phone is the same in the market. And everybody is doing the same. And now they have notch and they have, I don't know. But what if somebody wants to make a phone with this? How long time it takes before they can ship? That's a harder question because you know the price point is very low, expected to be low. And spec expected on this phone, maybe embedding components on the phone, maybe pretty hard. However, if it's an accessory on the phone, it's maybe much closer, like a year or two away, depending on the product concept. Because accessory will be, how much? $99, $199? Yeah, maybe something, maybe a few hundred dollars range. Are you saying that maybe it's too expensive to put inside the phone? Yes, and the spec is usually high, expected. As you know, any component company will tell you that having components in a smartphone is very, very challenging. From cost to spec. Some of these companies make millions of phones, so if they decide to do it. Then they will come. Then they can do it. Exactly. Because they will make five million phones, is enough quantity for you, right? Correct. So they just need one smartphone company to say we do this. Yes. And if you can help me do that, that would be wonderful. They're watching the video, I think. Yes. So and it doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be a Japanese smartphone company. You work with everybody, right? Of course not, yes. We're a very open global company. And are you the only ones who do smell-sensing technology like this? No, but they're expected to be few or to several companies trying to do the same. But our customers are telling us that we are one of the few that can actually deliver the product. And we are two to three years ahead in terms of technology. Do you have your phone? Yes. Just where do you put it? When will you put this on this corner? Probably here. So it could be like on the bottom corner? Yeah, for instance. And I think it will make sense to have somewhere close to the here because you breathe on it, for instance. So then it could give you an alarm? Or, yes. It can tell you your health care. Because people don't brush their teeth enough. Right. Or, yeah, whether your breath is bad or you maybe need to take a tic-tac. Have some disease, yeah, or recommend a tic-tac. And in theory you could point the phone in different parts of your body, right? Correct. And just one second is enough? Probably maybe a few seconds. A few seconds? Yes, when the technology is mature enough. And the sensor has to be, the sensor is a very sensitive part, right? It has to be on the edge and it will not be inside behind the grill. Right. But it cannot be waterproof. Correct. So waterproof can be done? It can. Yes. Using, you know, technology that's available, I would think. Like nano-coding, what's it called? Even Gore-Tex type of, you know. So that's not an issue? Yes. Well, it could be an issue, we don't know. It could be an issue. Yes. Because it might interfere. It needs to be an opening. When you go swimming it's difficult to smell, right? Exactly. Maybe it blocks the nose. Yes. Same thing. If you go out of the swimming pool, maybe it takes 10 minutes before you can start smelling normally again, right? Right. A small phone is smart enough to know which environment or ambient it's in. So when it's available for smelling, then maybe the shutter mechanism could just open. Nice. And how far away does it sense? That needs to be, the sample needs to reach the sensor, physically. So it needs to be pretty close. And you need to breathe in that direction. Correct. And that means you have to touch, if you want to test under your arms, for example, you have to touch it? No, you don't have to touch, but you just need to have it close enough, maybe a few centimeters. All right. I mean, it's very exciting potential, right? I hope so. And how many different ideas people have with this? How many different ideas you have? I mean applications. Yeah. We were thinking in order of a few tens. Tens of different applications. What do you mean? Applications, yeah? Applications, yes. Use cases. You have some ideas, right? You have some potential ideas for what it could be done. So you go to the supermarket or you check your food in the fridge. You can have a sensor like this inside the fridge, but then you have to put every ingredient next to it or can it smell the whole fridge? It will smell the whole fridge in that such case. Because it's a closed environment? Yes. And then some AI, something can know what is what? AI or... It can know how many bananas is in the fridge. And then which one is bad? Oh, it's too much. Or maybe in the future, when if you have enough data, visual data along with the smell profile, right, and having maybe multiple sensors inside there, you will give the direction, for instance, intelligence as well, potentially. Is it possible that this can also give diagnostics for health? Yes, healthcare. Because smell is a way to know if somebody is sick? Yes. Is it? Yes. So you just breathe on it and it's going to tell you you need to rest or something? Yes. Or you're too stressed? Yes. If you have a very close and a log your breath as often as possible to extract the new intelligence on your health based on the smell pattern of your breath. Nice. So is there another some way to have it close to here? You know, sometimes people have Bluetooth headsets. Yeah, probably similar. You can have it all the time there. Was that too much? It's very needed, yes. Very needed. That's the question of the user interface I would give you. All right, cool. All right, thanks a lot.


Winners live where quitters quit.  This is gonna be nine skills that will pay off for the rest of your life. Now this is a big one to me, all right? I see a lot of people that want their dream. They wanna go big, but they don't understand the understanding that dreams come with the price. Just cause you have a dream don't mean that you'll get it. There's a lot of times when kids are younger they have dreams and everybody's like, oh, you can get that, yeah, dream big.  You can get anything you want as long as you understand the word sacrifice. Dreams come with the price. So there's where you are, like here's where you are now. There's where you wanna go, which that's gonna be your dream. And then there's what you're willing to sacrifice. I want you to understand this. If you will be willing to sacrifice, you will always get from here to here. The difference between where you are and where you wanna go will always be the gap in your skill set. The question is how do you get that gap in your skill set? How do you get that? We gotta sacrifice to get there, okay? Some of it is sweat equity, all right? So write that down, sweat equity. Putting time in when the stands are empty when no one's around late at night, two or three hours when you could be watching TV. Okay, that's how I got ahead. Every night I went home from about 10 o'clock till 2 a.m. in the morning, I would study for three to five hours. Every single night, 365 days I was committed. There's a big shortage of commitment in this world. A lot of people aren't willing to commit, okay? So I need you to understand this. And by watching this video, if you'll commit to winning, you'll understand commitment is a 365 day commitment, not just when you feel like it. Are you able to do things that you don't wanna do, right? Winners live where quitters quit. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help. Do me a favor. I'm gonna tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now,<PHONE_NUMBER>.<PHONE_NUMBER>. I'll help you with whatever you need.  Let's get back to the video. Winners live. Here's where quitters quit. This is where the losers, they quit, okay? The winners keep going. Why? Because they're sacrificed, they don't care. It's uncomfortable, it hurts, it sucks, they still keep going. It costs more money, they still keep going. It's gonna take longer than they thought, they still keep going, okay? They've gotta cut off some friends, right? So they don't go to the club, so they stay out late. They still keep going. They don't quit. And by the way, I want you to write this down. This is where we're gonna finish, with dreams come with the price. Never in your life sell your will to win. I see a lot of people, their will to win is strong. They're watching a motivational video, they're thinking about something big, they got a dream, and they're like, man, I want that, I want that.  Eventually, boom! They sell their will to win.  Never, ever sell your win. Dreams come with the price. As long as you're willing to pay the price, you will always get your dream. There is nobody that can prevent you from getting your dream. And also, write this down. Beware, beware of the dream killers.  Is that stupid?  That's stupid, you don't wanna do that, man. Dude, listen to me, that's called a dream killer. Understand who that is, and audit them out of your life immediately. You need to take appraisal of everything and everyone in your life.  Take appraisal of it.  Think about where you wanna go. Does that thing in your life, or does that person help you go in the direction closer to where you wanna go, or pull you away from it?  So, sacrifice. That buddy, that friend, they don't agree with you. Woo, they're gone. See ya. That's how fast we make decisions. And by the way, I hope you've enjoyed this training, your life that will change right now will all happen because of one decision. One decision, you make the decision or the decision will be made for you. Dreams come with the price. Stay committed.  Every single day, self-improve.  And when you have hate come in your way, that means you're really close to a breakthrough. Remember this, frustration is close to a breakthrough. Grind, you're close to a breakthrough. Don't stop. I see so many people get really close and they're about to get over and then they back down, okay? You need momentum in your life. Keep speaking life to yourself and guess what, get around people that care like me. So, love you, appreciate you, you're amazing. Never forget this, one of the biggest skills is understanding. Understanding that dreams come with the price and if you pay the price, you'll always get your dream. Let's go kill it. Hey guys, I just wanna tell you the true one percenters you made it till the end of the video. Do me a favor, share it with the friend that wants to go to another level. Make sure you like the video, comment below so I know who you are. Set your notifications and then subscribe to the channel. We got daily sales training videos dropping. I'll see you soon.


Building a strong community starts with being aware of the problems it faces. United States Naval Hospital Naples is tackling sexual assault prevention and response throughout April. They've teamed up with the Naval Support Activity Naples, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator to hold a 5K run. It's just to bring the community together and try to partner with other organizations. This year it's the hospital and their health services.  This is sponsored and led by our most junior listed staff. So we're learning about SAP from the bottom up as opposed to directors coming from very high levels. And I think the community and people have been very responsive to it. The hospital staff have reached more than 300 people in the NSA Naples community. Senior Airman Levi Rouse, Naples, Italy.


What's up internet? Thermal Greed Seed Cryo Note is usually considered to be one of the best thermal pastes on the market. Pero mahal siya. Bakit mahal? Ito nabili ko, around $140 pesos. Ito rin, around $140 pesos. But if you go on Lazada to the official Philippine distributor, birebenta niya yung Cryo Note for around $387 pesos. But there are some stores, some stores with weird names that come from China that sell it at around half that price. Siguro Peke, baka nga? Pero baka naman original kasi may volume discount sa China or even if it's fake, gana baka layo yung performance niya dun sa Ulrig? We bought a total of eight Cryo Notes from different stores, two from reputable stores, and six from not-so-reputable stores. And we tested all of them to see kumih Ulrig ba talaga na mura na Cryo Note? There is a clear but surprising winner which we'll get to by the end of the video. Sa waka na ba sa un-activated windows mo? Well, lucky you! Pina ko bago mula sa CDKoffers.com, Windows 10 and Windows 11 activation codes. Legit, safe, at pinakamura. Madalilo mo order. Hanapin ang windows version na gusto mo. Piliin ang preferred Paypen vento. Wala pang 5 minutes na CDK ka na para sa windows mo. Maraming na kaming na tulungan. Dati, sadong di purto ko. But now, I'm from the log of my life. Dati, iimresan walang purto sa ng life ko. But now, I'm a world-class Zuba instructor. So, web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel. And ngayon, ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko. Kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit, mura, at original software. We contacted Thermal Grizzly and asked them if there was any way to determine if the product we bought was genuine. Pero wala silang reply, so I guess we're on our own. Now, some of the fake Thermal Grizzlies are immediately apparent. Either the packaging only superficially looks like the original one, the size, the layout, some combination of that is usually off. One thing that stuck out right away, the UPC code on the original Thermal Grizzly is different from the UPC code of the ones we got from China. So I thought that would be a clear sign already of which ones were fake. But after doing some research, the UPC code on the Chinese Thermal Grizzlies is actually the official UPC code for this particular product. So medyo nagtataka ako, bakit yung original na nakuha natin from the Philippine distributor has a different UPC code. So we tested all of the Thermal Grizzlies with a Ryzen 7 5800X with a single fan, Deepcool AK620, in a Cougar dual face case set to mesh mode. And of course, the torture software used was Cinebench. After running that for 30 minutes, we recorded the highest temperature reached. Long story short, palpakt yung nga Chinese Thermal Pastes. The cheaper Thermal Pastes were consistently the worst performers. The 141 peso paste from Genie Dragon hit a whopping 84 degrees. We got the same result from the paste from Ziabay which was also around 141 pesos and the temperature was also around 84 degrees. The 160 peso paste from Wobe and Laos Hiko Juzod scored 83.4 degrees and 84.1 degrees respectively. We go up to the 200 pesos and up price point and the thermal paste from FFFFJ scored a surprisingly good 80.4 degrees. The more expensive paste at 280 pesos from Electronic Big Sales Store scored a decent 80.80 degrees. So past the 200 peso mark, we are seeing a big improvement. Finally, the original cryo note from the authorized Philippine distributor cost a whopping 387 pesos but it was also the coolest by far at 79.1 degrees. Iba talaga kung rig. But if you've been counting, you notice we've only mentioned 7 thermal pastes and at the start, we said that we would test 8. The eighth we bought from Amazon. It was from a reputable store so we assume this is also original cryo note. We wanted to see if the original cryo note from the states would be better, equal, or less in terms of performance than the original one bought from the Philippine distributor. Kawa talaga tayo mga entusias dito because yes, there was a difference. Kahit yung thermal paste na dapat orig naman pareho Mas baganda pa rin yung galing sa states. We ran three tests each on the two original cryo notes and the Philippine thermal paste got 80.6, 80.8, and 80.1 degrees. However, the one from Amazon consistently beat it. And then the same results, 78.3 degrees in the second test and finally 78.5 in its last test. All three results from the Amazon thermal grisly colder than the thermal grisly from the Philippine distributor. The Amazon paste even had better temperatures compared to the lowest temperature we recorded with the Philippine paste when we were running it against the Chinese pastes. The final twist to this though is that you'll remember we used the exact same test setup last month when putting new Noctua thermal paste and really old, eight-year-old Noctua thermal paste head-to-head. So since it's the same test platform, we're confident to include and compare those results as well. So between fake cryo note, original cryo note from the Philippines and from the states versus new NTH1 Noctua bought here, which one had the coolest temperature and perhaps it's no surprise it is Noctua. It had a max temp reached of only 77.9 degrees colder even than the Amazon bought cryo note. It's a small difference, less than a degree, but if you're looking for the best performing paste and you're choosing between the cryo note and the Noctua NTH1, our not goes to, not surprisingly because Noctua is known for their quality, the Noctua NTH1.

I'm Stephen Boyd. I work for the Electrical Training Alliance. This is a very small not-for-profit organization working with the National Electric Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood of Electric Orders. That's a mouthful. However, what we do is we create the curriculum used by all of the apprentices going through an electrical apprenticeship program. Some 15 years ago we were still publishing books and working through selling those books and then the worldwide web crashed into the scene and everybody started to say, hey, let's do these things online. So we became somewhat of a software company embracing such technologies as Moodle for our learning management system and several other homegrown applications to support test generation in a proctored manner. We have learning record stores, all of these things that educational institutions have to deal with as they work through their processes. As you can imagine, working with those, you're dependent on other technologies. Moodle, for instance. You can only do so much before you're constrained with their technology. Although we've greatly modified that. I lovingly call it our frank and Moodle. We still use it and we're still dependent on those technologies. Recently with the demand for workers, we were given an opportunity to create our program online so that apprentices could actually get to their curriculum throughout the country. Some 40,000 people average a year applying for apprenticeship and take their actual first year apprenticeship program through a process that we're developing. Part of the grant required us to create tracking software. Some knowledge there. The slides do go into a little bit of this, but I'll just talk through it. If you can imagine managing a training center and there are 250 of those across the country, each with multiple apprentices, anywhere from 15 apprentices to several thousand in some of our larger programs, you have to deal with how many hours have they had training? What curriculum are they taking? What are their online classes and so forth? All that has to be tracked. The software that we've developed or wanted to develop would replace some of that. Replacing it because we have systems out there that all use some of them. Spreadsheets, Diane laughed at one point because I told her we have an application out there that uses Foxpro for some of you senior developers out there. We can definitely work with those, but the problem came that all of our users ended up having to double entry their data or sometimes triple entry their data because they would maintain the apprentices in their local software and then they would go to our learning management system and they would have to enter their users again and they would get grades and they'd have to export that and go to their systems. So we wanted to create a system that allowed for more natural transitions and once and done technology if you will, and we took this opportunity. I'd been playing with OKD for some time looking at replacing our LMSs or working within our LMSs, enhancing them in some way and this became the prime opportunity for us. So we were able to create a system that enhances those. We have several monolithic applications and their development times are very slow. We take several weeks to several months to even deploy features. We are moving in an agile way, but all of that technology is just slow going with the testing and everything else. So wanting to enhance that process, we made some selections. As I got into it, we worked with outside development partners and I had done all the business analysis work to get this up and running and handed it over to our seniors, you know, our basically our project management office and then COVID hit and they said that we're halting all external development, but since you're a developer as well, why don't you just go ahead and continue developing this, which was a little bit more than I was planning on taking on at the time. So I did engage Red Hat and I got a contract with Red Hat to help me get things set up where we chose the right tools. In our case, we ended up using OpenShift dedicated, which is a supported managed service for your OpenShift container platform. There's somewhat lagging OCP. I think you have control of your slides now, so try advancing with that clicker you have in your hand. Absolutely. All right. So we've gone through most of this. We provide the cracker, the trench, labor grant, tracking, reporting, so here we go. This is the good guys. They're still not showing, so I'm not sure. Maybe there we go. Now I can see it. Cool. Okay. It's a go. So this is kind of what we worked with and we've got quite a bit going on. We chose a microservices approach. We decided to use Quarkus for most of our stuff. We're a lot of Java on our back end. We do have some Node.js, some very other items, but as you know, our Moodle would be PHP. None of that is living here. These are just augmenting services and they work in concert with all of our other systems, but we did go ahead and choose to use Quarkus. It's very fast. We have a lot of services that don't need to be running all the time, so we don't want to take up space or resources when they're not needed and Quarkus allows for pretty much instant on, do its function and then spins down. So it's very, very lightweight. We are using Atlassian BitBucket for our repo, simply because we also use Jira and Confluence for our documentation and support. We did want to use CICD at the time since we were doing complete green field. I tasked Red Hat, I mean, since you're paying Red Hat anyways, let's go ahead and get some good stuff in there. So we pulled in Red Hat Pipelines, which uses Tecton. It is a native CICD pipeline, allows us to go ahead and do all of our services. It is capable of doing everything. However, we wanted to take a look at Argo CD as well because I personally have a love-hate relationship with Yamal. Diane said she loves Yamal, we like that. However, I like version control and all things and Argo CD gives us the ability to have our deployment Yamal's version controlled and synchronizing our deployments across our fields. So what do we have? We have two clusters, both OpenShift dedicated. The weirdest thing for us was that our non-production cluster is about three times the size of our production cluster. The reason being is all of your stuff runs in your non-prod cluster. Your pipelines and your image streams and all of the content that you're doing, including your testing, your image building and all that. So we actually need more resources for our non-production cluster than we do for our production cluster. However, our pipeline takes it at any time we commit to our bit bucket. We automatically start a build and we have three namespaces inside our non-prod cluster. We have a development branch, a test, and a UAPT. Development just is where it gets built. It's where everything gets done right when we kick off with the bit bucket and it allows me to make sure that my services are seeing each other. Once they're talking and I can just look at things and make sure everything's working, I can promote those and tag those so that they end up in test. Once they're in test, we actually build our end-to-end tests and we use JMeter for that. We do spot testing with Postman, but for the most part, we can script JMeter into our pipeline so we can build that. So we do build out our JMeter tests inside the test environment and all of those are private. There's no routing to those. Those are all just console in and you deal with what you want to do. You can port forward to do some testing. Once we promote those and we feel like they're stable internally and we want our external partners who work with our learning management system, learning record store to actually access them, we promote it once more to the UAT environment and I kick off and let them know. While it's in UAT, they have access to it. While it's not on this diagram, we're using Red Hat Open API Management. So it's another managed service that basically gives you an on-premise three scale deployment. So all of our APIs are backed using three scale. So that is how they would access those. Part of our problem was we want everything to be destroyable. That's the whole beauty of the OpenShift world is that you wanted to be long living, scalable, resilient, and recoverable quickly. So while SMEs at Red Hat are maintaining the cluster, we wanted to make sure that if there was a catastrophic event and a cluster goes down, we could rebuild everything. Well, how do you do that quickly with databases? And as we were working with Red Hat, we found that all of our databases would be better served if they were off of the cluster. There are lots of options for those, including Amazon buckets and everything else. But we worked with a group called Cockroach Cloud, Cockroach Labs, to create for us some cloud-produced Postgres-compatible databases. And they have multiple ways to consume, so it worked for us. If you see our development environment and our test environment, we're using a developer cloud account, which is free. For the most part, you get a very small, there's no guarantee, there's no uptime. But it lets me do my testing and it deploys it to cloud just like my production uses the same technology. When we get to UAT, we need a little bit more longevity for our data. So we're using their in-service operator to maintain a couple of nodes inside that we use for backups and everything else, just for UAT so that the developers can have some long-lasting data. When we do move to production in our production cluster, we are paying for a region, one region right now, three-node cluster of Cockroach Cloud, which again is a Postgres-compatible database. But what it allows us to do is make sure that we could rebuild our cluster within, I'd say hours. It takes a couple hours to spin up an OSD cluster. But within the, once those clusters are available, we can redeploy everything because nothing lives within the cluster as far as our images go. So all of that works because we're using these technologies. Our CI-CD builds the image on our OpenShift cluster, pushes it to Quay. Why Quay instead of Docker, Hub or some other system? Again, we went Red Hat, we were working with Red Hat, but Red Hat gives you the ability using Quay to give you security testing. So immediately, once an image gets pushed to Quay, it starts scanning it for vulnerabilities, all of the vulnerabilities that all of your Red Hat stack are covering. So you can always be sure that your stack is secure. So benefits, I'm just trying to keep an eye on time since we had some technical difficulties. So we had a couple of things. Because we have multiple users using the technology. We have external users using this technology. We did not get rid of our monolithic applications. So we needed to measure impact across the board. So our existing process for an applicant coming in is that they apply in person. They can go to a training center and they apply. And there's about 50,000 of those a year. I was a little off on my memory. 50,000 of those a year. And they would go into their local training centers and apply. They would have to go to another training center and apply if they wanted to go to two regionally closed training centers. For us, Baltimore and DC are very close and you could walk into both of them and apply. After a rollout of this system, they can now apply to multiple programs anywhere in the country by filling out one application. We lost controls of our slides. There we go. Entering job training reports. So as an apprentice goes through their on the job training, they have to fill out evaluations. Those evaluations then go to their journey level worker who also fills that evaluation and they get submitted to the offices. So all of these offices are very small staff. They only have anywhere from one sometimes up to 15 people. But you can imagine with 36,000 apprentices a week entering those reports across 250 training centers, that's a lot of data entry. So after rollout, all of that's handled via a mobile app. They actually fill out their evaluations. It gets kicked over to the journey level worker. They do their comments and when it's submitted, it's already in the system. Finally, advancement operations. As you go through the process, five year program for inside three year program for outside residential and telecommunications. You have to look at, have they met all the qualifications for education? Have they met all the qualifications for on the job training? Have they done any certifications, whether it's regional? So you can imagine that same 36,000 a week, you'd have to go collect all of this data and then figure out who's eligible for advancement throughout the program. With the new system, all that's done for you, it automatically takes a look at what you've set up as your guidelines and parameters and all of those microservices go through the process. So DevOps metrics a little bit more applicable to what we're talking about here. So again, we did not replace any of our monolithic applications. We are supporting those with some microservices. So our current process for our non microservice based deployments, a bug takes us on average one to two weeks. Whereas with the microservices, we're rolling out fixes one to eight hours. New features can take anywhere from two to four weeks for our learning management systems, our learning record stores, test generators and other tools. Whereas a new feature with the microservices anywhere from two to four days and that's high. In most cases, we can have something out in a day. It's just rapid and we do go with that model. We roll out our skateboards and our bicycles and our Harley-Davidson's into a forgrafter. We go through the process and we get these out there, but it does allow for rapid cycles. Epics, huge epics take anywhere from two to eight months with our current monolithic applications and we can roll out new epics in one to four weeks with our current system. So in terms of OpenShift, whether it's OKD, OpenShift Container Platform, or in our case a managed service with OpenShift dedicated, it allows us to rapidly deploy services to augment support or even fully support new technology. You can deploy front insights, middleware or back insights, all of those being supported securely. In our case, we're using three scale through a Red Hat Open API managed service. We have two clusters, a non-prod and a prod cluster. We're using Tecton pipelines to get those deployments out so every new service gets a new pipeline and it pushes right through the process. Argo CD keeps all of our environments in sync and Quay keeps our containers secure. That is all I had unless there are questions. Well, I think that was an awesome way of doing that and thank you for segueing with the slide snafus and all of that. Looking to see if there's any questions from the audience in person and that apparently the folks virtually are not figuring out how to use the QA that well or they are surprisingly silent. I am always thrilled when we get to see the architectural diagrams like you've shown and really get them the deep dive in on what people are actually doing. A great big shout out to Cockroach Labs and the work that you're doing. Someone just asked, why do you like Argo more than Tecton? It's not the like the technology. We actually started with Tecton and use it quite a bit. Once we kind of stabilize on a service, we're using Argo only for the YAML management. Deployments, maintaining version control because it does use customized IO built in right into the container. It's more of a preference. You can use either one for your deployments. We chose Argo CD because I had a steep learning curve with YAML documents. You guys make fun of YAML but YAML is the duct tape of the universe these days. We used to say Pearl was the duct tape and I'm showing my white hairs in my hair these days but YAML, I don't know where we'd be without YAML these days. I can feed that. That doesn't make it fun.  It's quite a fun learning curve. I actually know one of my friends and colleagues from another startup. I was in Ingy.net, Brian Ingersen, who is the author of YAML. Shout out to Brian and his cohorts. You could probably find them on Wikipedia somewhere or in a coffee shop in Seattle. So we probably owe them a lot more debts of gratitude and free coffees for all of the work that they did and the pains in our lives that it has become. There is one other major significant advantage to using Argo CD in your production environment if nothing else and that is the ability to lock it at a specific level. So while Tecton is great for doing your CICD and getting those out there with Customize, it's always monitoring with your Argo CD. It's always monitoring your versions. So if someone with the authority accidentally either accidentally or maliciously does a deployment that you're not ready for, Customize will see that change. Argo CD will kick in and bring you back to the approved version automatically. So there are some advantages to using Argo CD. It's a flavor, it's a preference really. I like Tecton, it's very clear. When you start getting up there in the services though, when you think about having a pipeline for your deployment, a pipeline for your patching, and then a pipeline for your building, you've got three, maybe four pipelines just for every service and if they're all in the same namespace, that's quite a long list of pipelines to manage. So again, personal preference, they both do wonderfully and I've had no problems with either. All right, and there's one more question coming in and I think we have time depending on how long you pontificate.  Right, we looked at multiple options there. We actually played with Crunchy for internally. We went just plain vanilla Postgres with containers and ultimately what it boiled down to for me was again, very small not-for-profit organization. It's me and one other guy working internally with our external developers. So going with a managed service provider made sense for us, but the operator works great as well. So even internally, I would say find out what your uptimes are, your survivability with the national company that we have in terms of supporting 250 programs, 240 programs country-wide. At some point as the popularity spins up, we are also going to need to have regional data and Cockroach does provide a very native cloud-ready system for going natively across multiple regions. Right now, we're single region, three node cluster, but Cockroach Labs assures me that whenever the time comes, they'll be right there to make sure that I can spin up another node in another region, another three-year-old customer region, and my data will be seamless. So those were the criteria we chose in terms of picking what will work for us. Awesome.


This is Conrad Nagel inviting you to stay tuned for the next half hour for one of radio's outstanding dramatic productions on Proudly We Hail Proudly We Hail and now another Proudly We Hail one of radio's outstanding dramatic half-hour is transcribed coast-to-coast in cooperation with this station and presented by your army and your Air Force. From Radio City, New York, here is your host and star on Proudly We Hail, the distinguished star of the theater, screen, radio, and television, Conrad Nagel. Thank heart and hello everyone. Welcome again to Proudly We Hail. Come with us to the American desert for a story of three desperate men, two prisoners, and a desert chase. Our play is entitled The Desert's Edge and the first act curtain will rise after this important message. The woman in the Air Force is a woman who was found that it's smart to serve her country. She wears the trim waft uniform and she has a good future in a good outfit. If you are between 18 and 34, go to your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force Recruiting Station and ask for details. Be smart. Do it now. And now with your star, Conrad Nagel, in the role of Taylor, your army and your Air Force present the Proudly We Hail production, The Desert's Edge. The man called Taylor lived on a little farm at the desert's edge. He lived alone with his chickens, his scrubby garden, and his desert flowers. Unlike most hermits, Taylor was neither old nor unfriendly. A tall, rangy man with a pleasant word for all who chanced to pass his way. Anyone who did might find him seated on his porch reading one of the many books that cluttered up the place. Or they might hear the strains of some high-toned music coming from the big, handsome recorder that stood by the fireplace. Taylor was a character, all right. Not like other folks. Different. Well, something to trouble, gentlemen? No trouble at all. You here alone? Yes. You think it's going to rain? What's your car doing in my barn? Well, I should say, hidden in my barn. Then okay, bun. Look, Doc, let's not stand out here and ask questions. Let's go inside where it's cooler. Yeah, this twilight air is bad for the health. What do you want? A deer card. A deer card.  Doc, you see this gun? I don't want to use it on you. What do you say we all go inside?  Ain't this the place? Whatcha do, run a library for the Indians?  I'd look in there. And you, if you can stop trying to be a comedian, sit down by that window and watch the road. How can I watch the road? Bun, it's getting awful dark. It gets dark, cars travel on the road just like they do in a daytime. Only they use their headlights. And headlights can be seen a long way off, especially when the country's flat like this. Now sit down there and keep quiet. Well, on the run, eh? You guessed it. You probably heard all about it on the radio. No, no, I can't say I have since I don't have a radio. Yeah? What's that over there? The recorder plays records.  Nobody here, bun. All right, good. Well, just so we understand each other, Doc, this is the pitch. We held up a bank and flagstaff this morning. And the confusion two gods happened to get themselves killed. That makes us murderers. Barmy here, that's nothing new to him. But right now, every fed-in bull in the territory is out looking for us. That makes us desperate. That means we'll do anything to keep from getting caught. And that means you'll do as I say if you want to stay alive. Is that clear? Yes, yes, I think so. If there's one thing you better get clear. What's that? I don't like being called Doc, especially by you. He doesn't like... He... he just... Well, you ain't much of a cook, Doc. If they'd known we were coming, he'd have baked the cake.   I don't have to take that from you. You'll take anything from me that I give you. Now get out of here. Go on out of the porch and watch the road. Go on. Do easy on him, Bond. I want your advice. I'll ask it. What are you grinning at? It was funny how different people resemble different animals. I was reading about your types this afternoon. Yeah? And what kind of an animal do I resemble? A jackal. No. You got it wrong. Fox is a better description. And that's so you won't get it mixed up again. Hold it. The gun always holds the whip. I wonder what it would be like if I had a gun, too. Get up and clean off those dishes. Any liquor in this shack? No. Not a drop. Look around, Ed. Probably find a jug somewhere. There's a car coming up the road. Get all those dishes and things out of sight. Put them in that barrel quickly. All right, Doc. This is up to you. We'll be in there. You make one mistake and you and whoever it is that's coming will get it. You haven't seen anybody? You don't know anything. Get rid of them. Don't go out on that porch. Stand by the door. Hey, what about these butts? Throw them in the barrel. In there, Bobby. Come on, Ed. Remember, Doc. No funny business. You wanted something, Miss? You startled me. I didn't see you standing there. If you're looking for the highway, go back on this road three miles so you come to the forest. Well, I'm not looking for the highway. I was looking for you, Mr. Taylor. Oh. Oh, I see. Want to keep? It's late. Well, I've driven a long way and they said, well, I really won't take much of your time. What's it about? Well, my name is Carol Jennings. I'm with the magazine report. You've heard of it? No. Well, we're interested in doing an article on this area and the people who live in it. And we thought maybe you... Jennings, I live here because I like being left alone. I live here because I don't like being bothered with foolish questions by foolish people. I'm sorry. They said in town that you like people, that you were different, friendly. You can see they were wrong. Good night, Miss Jennings. Good night. Regular old bull, ain't she, Doc? Hey, he's a brute. You don't treat him nice at all. Hey, um, she doesn't seem to be able to get her car started. She's still good. Dame probably hasn't got the ignition turned on. What do you want me to do? Stay right where you are, no matter what.  Tell her you don't know anything about cars. Then what? I'll decide that. Go to the door, but don't go out. Uh, try turning on the ignition. I did that, but it won't start. Do you suppose you could help me? Well, I don't know anything about cars. You don't know anything about manners either, do you? Who invited who? Well, what am I going to do? I'd go back and try it again. You probably flooded it. It is not flooded. There's something wrong. I'll get the blanket. You can spend the night in the backseat in the morning. Do you have a telephone? No.  I'll get the blanket. Where are you, man, his doc? Let's invite the lady in. The video isn't worth much. They think we headed north. We've got roadblocks set up all over the highways. Everybody and his brother are looking for us. Good. Let them look. It was our lucky day when we found this place. Couldn't ask for a better one. May I ask what you plan to do with me? Well, you are kind of a problem, babe. Somebody's going to start wondering where you are after a while. That's right. They know I came out here. Who's they? People I talked to in town. My boss on the magazine. That's not so good for you. Not so good for doc here either.  Keep your fear to yourself. Fear. Not afraid, eh? Why don't you try something then? Dive or nothing at your hands? Oh, no. I like living. I like it more than anything else I know. I'm not going to throw my life away to you for anything. That's for me to decide.  With power, you become a god. The right over life and death. What are you like living for? You call this living? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Desert? Heat? Nothing but dust and wind? What are all these books buying you? And that long hair music? Living. You're dead already and you don't know it. You can't be much older than me, but look at you. What have you got to show for living?  All figured out. How does it feel to be hunted? To know that no matter what you do or where you go, you'll always be hunted. That's really living, isn't it? A lot to look forward to. Bunk. We've got a suitcase full of greenbacks to look forward to. Not the choker.  And you'll never get a chance to spend it. You got all the answers, haven't you? Well, I'll tell you how it feels to be hunted. Fine. I like it. It makes me feel good right here. Because I'm smarter than anybody who's hunting for me. They're looking for us up north, aren't they? That's just where they're supposed to be looking. I'm showing them. Me. Foxy Bond. You think that's funny, huh? Well, there's a certain amount of grim humor in it, yes. Well, I'll give you something to really laugh about. Tomorrow, about dawn, we're leaving here just like we came. You and the dam are staying. You won't be in such hot shape either. What are you going to do to us?  Don't you worry. He's right. I ain't. When they come out here looking for you, it'll be a plain as daylight. Guy living all by himself has to go off his rocker. Especially out here. Put anyone off their rocker. What do you mean? My lady, I'm afraid I mean it's going to be a very simple case of murder... and suicide. Ben Radnegol, starring in the role of Taylor in the proudly-we-held production, The Desert's Edge, will return in just a moment for the second act. Registered nurses, the United States Air Force Medical Service offers you a great opportunity to serve your country and further your own career. Yes, you can become a commissioned officer with good pay and allowances while you receive postgraduate training in anesthesia, operating room management and techniques, nursing administration and other related fields. Nurses with special qualifications may train as flight nurses at the famous Air Force School of Aviation Medicine. For complete information, write to the Surgeon General, United States Air Force, Washington, 25 D.C. I'll repeat that address. The Surgeon General, United States Air Force, Washington, 25 D.C. Do it now. You are listening to Proudly We Hail, and now with your star, Conrad Nagel, in the role of Taylor, we present the second act of The Desert's Edge. Don't that will never stop. Oh, sometimes it blows for days. You just started all of a sudden. You've got a willies. The Indians used to say it was the voices of haunted souls. Murderers crying for mercy forever. Don't try and feed me any of that funk. No, no, listen, listen to it a minute. You can almost hear the words.  Well, they really do what that man said. Did your car break down or was that a trick to get an interview out of me? No, it was no trick, honestly. Why? Hey, what are you two talking about? The weather. Yeah, take care until I wake up drunk. He might not like that. You come over here and sit where I can hear what you say. We like it here. You want to hear what we have to say? You come closer. You want to start eating slugs? You're not allowed to lower your voice. You'll wake up bad. One more peep out of you. I will wake him up now.  The both of you. He's getting sleepy. We've got to try and get out of here before he wakes up bad. But how? Listen, I want you to get up and walk toward the window. Remember, don't get between us. Right. His attention will be drawn to you. I've got my hand on the poker. I'll throw it at him. Now whatever happens, go out the door, turn to the left, and run. Run right out into the desert. Still, even if the wind is kicking up, it's a clear night. You'll see a giant cactus on a little ridge. Now go there and lie down behind it, and I'll join you. What are you going to do? Ring your neck if you don't stop asking questions. Now get up and go over toward that window. But...  Hey, hey, hey, where do you think you're going? I just wanted to look out. Look out, Carol. Run, Carol, run, run. What's going on? Get out here. I got my breath. I set the barn on fire. The barn? Sure, there are cars in it. Yours is broken down. So they're trapped. Can't they fix mine? In this wind. There are no tools. And in the dark? No. Don't you have a car? Just a pickup. But I've got the keys. That fire will attract attention. When I get my breath, I'll thank you for saving my life. Well, it's not saved yet. What? It'll be light in another hour.  My keys are their only chance. They won't dare save it for them now. Well, how can they possibly find us with all this to hide them? Well, it's mostly flat. You can see a long way. From this mound, you can see for 20 miles. We've got to get started and those shoes of yours weren't made for this kind of walking. No. Won't the wind blow up enough sand to hide us? No, it's only a night wind. See, it'll die by daylight. Well, then I guess we're not safe yet. You can quote me in your magazine as saying we're not, not by a darn safe. Ever get my hands on that? Save it. Any luck, Bobby? The trivia is shot, I think. The ache in the head. Too bad he didn't finish the job. It's your fault we're in this spot. Well, what do we do now? We get out of here. It's getting light. That fire will have been seen. What do we get out of here on? A camel? Whoever comes out here to investigate will know that something has gone wrong. They've got a 30-mile drive back in the town before they can tell anyone about it. Even after that, it's going to take a long time before anyone gets wise that we've been here. By then, we should be far enough away so it won't matter. Oh, yeah? How? Look at this map. Put your light down here. Yeah. See this line? The railroad track. Got about a 20-mile hike. Wait for a fast freight. 20 miles across the desert?  You want to stay here? You want to walk down that road and be noticed? Or whatever, look for us out there. What about the guy in the dame? They'll be looking for them, too. So will we. We can't travel fast with her. We'll take plenty of water. It's got clothes in there for walking in the desert. We'll wear them. I ain't going out no desert.  You'll stop going anywhere. I don't like it, either. You can get lost awful easy, I've heard. With a map? And what are you, yellow? It's only 20 miles. Well, maybe you got a better idea. Maybe I'll leave you two wonder boys here. Now, take it easy, Bond. We'll go.  What do you got to know?  You know you got a murder rap hanging over you? And you know it ain't safe to stay here. Let's get this show on the road. What are you doing? Getting you a drink. A drink out of a cactus bush? That's right. Watch. Regular fountain. I can't believe it. Cactus bush stores water or else it couldn't grow out here. This isn't much of a cup, but it'll do. Thanks. It's not the clearest of the best tasting water, but it'll keep us alive. Where are we headed? To the highway. It's only about 15 miles north. I'm getting more of a story than I bargained for. Look, look back there. No, no. Over by that ridge. A dust cloud. Is it then? Yeah, probably. See the buzzard circling? Won't they see them over us? I doubt if they'll know what it means, though. Haven't we better start moving again? They seem to be heading southeast, right out into the desert. You know, if they have a map, they may be heading for the railroad track. I hope they have to wait two weeks for a train. They'll wait longer than that, Carol. That track isn't used anymore. Hey, Bond, let's stop and take a rest. This heat's killing me. Me, too. My feet are falling off. What a couple of weaklings.  Wait a minute. See that dust? Then birds up there? Just like over us? It's them. They're heading north. That's the way to the highway. Let them go for all I care. Let them go nothing. We can catch them fast. They can't be any more than a couple of miles ahead of us. So what? Just be wasting time. You think so? Yeah, I think so. You're ready to forgive them for getting us in this spot, huh? No, but this ain't the time to... What are you doing? Mugs have been dead wood on me since we started. I'm getting this stuff right now. Then I'm going my way. And you can go yours. That's okay with me. I'm getting sick and tired of taking orders from you. Yeah, me, too. Fine.  I'm gonna catch the guy who got me into this trouble. Nice fire, isn't it? You know, ever since I heard about you, I've wanted to ask you one question.  Well, I could answer that by saying why not. It's not natural. Was there anything more natural about life in a city? Life anywhere in the world today. I found something out here. Something I never found there. I found some peace. How do you find peace by running away from the world? By running away far enough. No, you see, this life I'm living was an experiment. After the war, I came back to the old city life. Nothing was changed. Only I was. Maybe I lost my nerve. Maybe I was just fed up with everybody and everything. So I got this idea. Why don't I go back to fundamentals?  Somehow it seemed fitting that I pick a place on the edge of the desert because I saw my life as a desert. Of course it wasn't easy at first, but then I began to notice things about me. Things we've gotten away from. You should see this place when it's in bloom. It isn't really a desert, as you think of it, not dead, not lifeless, just untouched. It has a beauty all its own. Even the desert wind, dry, mournful, hot, even that has... So you've gone back to nature and you've found your peace of mind. If the world's going to part, it's only because we're letting it. We're not trying to improve things. Bond may have been right when he said that you'd stop living. You mean I should be in there pitching? Well, maybe.  You need a cure. I was lucky. I found it. And what do you do?  You're kind of hard on a man, aren't you? I don't like to see a man going to waste. Not a man like you. You flatter me.  I've been trying to put all this down on paper in a book. I started when I first came out here. It's a big book and probably nobody will be interested in reading it. But when it's finished, I'll go back. And, as you say, start pitching. Wow. That makes a girl feel better. Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a terrible shame I got to come along and spoil the whole thing?  There's your two friends? Nah, we parted company. They went to get a freight. Oh, you knew that line was a bend? Sure. I couldn't let them walk all that way to find that out, so I put them both out of their misery. I'm going to be awful rich. Foxy Bond, eh? You'd think we'd be a lot more worried about seeing you, wouldn't you? You look all worn out, Foxy. You're water-going yet?  I guess the heat dulls your brain. It'll do that, you know. I thought you said you were smart. You can't bluff, Doc, when you don't hold any cards. What do you think I built this fire to keep warm? Keep Miss Jennings warm? I built this fire because I wanted to see it. I wanted you to see it. I wanted you to come here, just like you did. We've been watching you follow us for a long time. Yeah, I know. We're surrounded by apaches. Your shooting head and bummy attracted a lot of attention. Put on that gun, Bond, or you'll be shot where you stand. You're surrounded, but not by apaches. You don't fool me. Well, does that convince you... Why are you up?  Yeah, yeah, we're all right, Sheriff.  He almost shot you. Well, that's one mad dog. We won't have to worry none about it anymore. Yeah, poor Bond. He had it all figured out. He was smarter than anybody else. It felt good, too, he said. I wonder how it feels now. Conrad Nagel will return with a word about next week's show in just a moment. Here's a special note for women. That list of the best dressed women in America hasn't come out yet. But we can tell you right now that one girl is sure to be on it. She's the girl in that new blue uniform worn by women in the Air Force. But that girl in the WAP uniform is smart in another way, too. Maybe a better way, if you like. She's found a good career and a great outfit, working on equal terms with men of the Air Force in hundreds of interesting, challenging jobs. She's found a service in which the way is open to the top by means of officer candidate schools that produce smart WAP officers. What's more, many girls with college degrees are coming into the WAP to go directly to officer candidate school and win commissions. Another way of being smart. In short, the woman in your Air Force is the smartest woman of the year. How about you? Can you qualify? If you're between 18 and 34, ask your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force Recruiting Station for all the details. Do it now. With another program on Proudly We Hail presented transcribed in cooperation with this station by the United States Army and the United States Air Force Recruiting Service. Proudly We Hail stars Conrad Nagel. The Desert's Edge was written by DeWitt Cough. The music was composed and conducted by John Guarnieri. This program was produced under the supervision of Charles and Rogers Productions and was directed by Charles Wilkes. This is Kenneth Banghart speaking and here again is your host and star, Conrad Nagel. Friends, we hope you'll join us again next week over this same station for Proudly We Hail. Our play is entitled Lady on the Run. It's a story about a very frightened young lady in rather frightening circumstances. Until then, goodbye.


A new CBS News and YouGov poll released yesterday confirms what a lot of us already suspected. That there is a large percentage of Republicans who are willing to just accept that violence is the norm in the United States of America, even if we actually don't have to live like this. They're saying, sorry, that's the cost of freedom and we're going to choose for all of you that violence is going to be the norm. So as Jake Johnson of Common Dreams explains, a survey published Sunday shows that nearly half of Republican voters in the United States believe mass shootings of the kind that took the lives of 19 young children in Uvalde, Texas last month are unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society. Wow. According to the CBS slash YouGov poll, 44% of GOP voters and 15% of Democratic voters feel that frequent mass shootings are an inescapable reality in the United States where there are more guns than people. That view appears to be out of step with the vast majority of U.S. society, however. The new survey shows that U.S. adults overall, regardless of party or political affiliation, believe by a 72% to 28% margin that mass shootings are something we can prevent and stop if we really tried. More specifically, the poll found that 62% of U.S. adults supported nationwide ban on AR-15s, but despite the proposal's popularity, it is not even on the table in the latest round of congressional gun control negotiations due to overwhelming GOP opposition. In other words, they know that your children might literally be slaughtered, but that's just the price that they're willing to pay. That's the cost of freedom, baby. I mean, this is delusional. Freedom in their view means that you can literally do anything you want, the right to bear arms. That means anything goes essentially. So they just, they don't want to draw the line. I mean, am I allowed to own a nuke? I'm not going to nuke anybody, but I mean, I just want to own it for self-defense purposes. Can I own anti-aircraft weaponry? If an airplane flies over my backyard, I mean, isn't that technically violating my property rights? And as a property owner, shouldn't I be allowed to shoot down that plane? Sure. I mean, the people on that plane are going to die, but that's just the cost of freedom. They shouldn't have violated my property rights and trespassed. I mean, it's preposterous. They know that you have to draw the line somewhere, but this is where they're choosing to draw the line. Dead kids are acceptable. Dead fetuses, however, can't have that. So we're literally going to have the government ban women from controlling their own bodies because we care that much about dead fetuses. Dead children, however, sorry, that's just the price of freedom. Now notice how we're not even talking about banning guns. Nobody's having that conversation. We're simply talking about common sense gun reform, banning AR-15s, putting caps on high capacity magazines, making people become certified and take gun safety training courses in order to obtain a firearm, have references that speak to their character, but no, not even possible. In fact, Don Byers is currently working on legislation that would put a tax on AR-15s of a thousand percent. And he's trying to get this passed using budget reconciliation, knowing that not a single Republican will support this. And since they won't get banned, well, the next best thing is to try to make it cost prohibitive for more people because, God forbid, we do anything to stop this. This is just the way that it is. But honestly, as disgusting and despicable as these respondents are to this poll, I've got to admit that it's gross, but somehow refreshingly honest because we've seen politicians blame doors. We've seen them blame rap music and video games. We've seen them blame abortion and a new one while they're blaming black people. But at least with that poll, the respondents are at least tacitly acknowledging that, yeah, it's the guns. We know it's the guns. More guns leads to gun violence, but that's just what we're going to accept. And we're going to impose this view on everyone else as well because we're in control currently. Even though we're a minority party, we have the Supreme Court and pretty soon they're going to exacerbate this issue most likely. They're poised to hand down a ruling that makes it so that way. States rights. What's that? We can all have guns in this country in open carry and I'm kind of like oversimplifying the situation, but this is the reality of the United States right now. And I want to ask every single person who answered in that way, would you feel the same way if one of your kids were gunned down? Would you feel the same way if you experienced what this mother experienced where she had to fight past police to run into a school and save her children's lives during the Ivaldi school shooting? Let's watch. Rest you because you're being very uncooperative.  Y'all are standing with snipers and y'all are far away. I, if y'all don't go in there, I'm going in there. He immediately put me in cuffs. She says after Ivaldi police officers told marshals to uncuff Gomez, she ran towards a school. And as soon as they uncuffed me, I jumped that first gate fence. And once I jumped it, I went to my son's class and I knocked on the door and I remember the teacher saying, um, I'm like, hey, they're already, they're already, um, boat cutting the fence to get me. She's like, you think we have time to get out? I said, y'all have time. I'm going to run for my other son. Once she was assured her son was okay, Gomez ran to get her other child, encountering more officers who tried to stop her. So I start yelling and I'm being a cooperative and I'm like, well, y'all aren't doing **** what are y'all doing? Y'all need to be in your, give me a vest, somebody give me a vest, something. I started paying attention to how far the shots were being so that I knew the shooter was all the way still by my first son's class. So when I went to my son, my second son's door, the teacher didn't want to open the door for me. So that's when they started, um, escorting me out. And as I, as I see that they're opening my son's door, I go run for my son and I get him. With both of her kids out safe, Gomez still can't shake the thought of those who didn't make it. While you were inside the school, did you see officers inside the school? There was not one officer inside the school when I ran to my second son's class. There was not one officer. And you were here in gunshots. So you knew that it was an active shooter. You could hear the gunshots. It was still active. The gunshots were still active. They were not in there. There was no one in there. If anything, when I pulled up, my car was closer to the school than where the snipers and everybody that was laying on the ground were. When you heard that it took law enforcement 75 minutes before they went in and stopped the shooter, what was your thinking, having been inside the school yourself? I don't know. I was just thinking that they could have saved many more lives. They could have gone into that classroom and maybe two or three would have been gone, but they could have saved a whole, a whole more, a whole class. They could have done something, gone through the windows, sniped them through the window. I mean, something, but nothing was being done. If anything, they were being more aggressive on us parents that were willing to go in there. And like I told one of the officers, I don't need you to protect me. Get away from me. I don't need your protection. If anything, I need you to go in there with me to go protect my kids. And if anything, they were being more aggressive on us. They're more pertain on keeping us back than getting into that school. Now that video should warrant an entire conversation about a different issue. And that's the failure of the police in Ubalde, Texas. But just for purposes of this conversation, I want to ask every single person who answered that way in the poll that said that, you know, this is just the cost of freedom that kids, would you feel the same way if you literally had to fight past police to run into a school risk your own life to save the lives of your two children? Would you feel the same way? Would you say after experiencing that with that mother experienced that this is the price of freedom? I can't imagine anyone would be delusional enough to still maintain that position, but a lot of conservatives don't care unless it happens to them. And this isn't the only poll where a large percentage of Republicans have localized their acceptance of violence. Let me remind you about a different poll conducted by the American Enterprise Institute, which found that 39% of Republicans believe political violence may be justified. And when you have fans of popular right wing propagandists asking questions like this, when do we get to use the guns? No, and I'm not that's not a joke. I'm not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where's the line?  It really shouldn't be a surprise to think that. Well, yeah, of course, this is how a large percentage of Republicans view freedom.  Black people might literally be targeted while they're shopping for groceries, but that's just the cost of freedom. It's just truly a delusional definition of freedom. To me, freedom is living a life where you are free from fear of dying at a movie theater or grocery store or free of fear and for your children's life. But to them, freedom means anything goes. Sorry, it's just it's sad. It's sad. The GOP in this country has cultivated a cult that accepts violence as the norm, and they literally believe a large percentage of them believe that you have to accept violence because that's the cost of freedom, even if it turns this country into a hellhole, even if it turns schools into war zones, that's just the price of freedom. Dead kids is the price of freedom, not dead fetuses. No price of freedom there. We have to save these fetuses. But dead kids, that's the cost of freedom. It is truly demented and sick. But this is the base that the GOP has fostered and cultivated. And here we are. Clicking the bell, no way. It's very sad, I know.


Hi everyone, in this tutorial you will learn how to create a sublist from a list in Python. Let's create our list to use it in our example. Okay, now we want to create a sublist from this list and for example I want to get elements from the third to the fifth element of this list. This third element from this list has index two, so our starting point for creating a sublist has index two and the last element that we want to extract is the fifth, so we're gonna use number five. Let's print our sublist, I'm gonna run this code and as you can see this sublist is created from this list. Also if I leave off the first element here, I'm gonna get a sublist that contains first five elements from this list, let's run it. As you can see this sublist has first five elements from this list and if we want to have all elements from the list starting at index seven to the end of the list, we're gonna use this notation and we're going to omit the second index here. Let's run this code and now it's created a list that contains all elements from the index seven to the end. That's all in this tutorial, don't forget to check other videos from our channel. See you in the next tutorial, bye-bye.


There's the surface web, there's the deep web, and then there's the dark web. And what I'm particularly interested in is the surface web, how it's used in dark ways, for instance, using technology such as Skype, such as Zoom, UVO, TeamViewer, these webcam applications where individuals can share drug experiences, but you're not necessarily able to track their activities because these are invite-only platforms. And then of course, I mean you could call that the deep web if you'd like, but I personally like to think it's a surface web because it's kind of up there on the top, but it's used in a clandestine kind of way where you have networks of two to 25 and more individuals performing drug experiences together, but there's no URL address to go to, there's no website to go to, it's, you're invited, if you're not invited, you don't have access to that environment. What I'm seeing a lot of is for instance with Grindr, which is a six million member, maybe more audience now, there'll be links to a person's Facebook account, or links to a Twitter account, or maybe links to an Instagram account, and you can track the activities of these men across the different networks that they belong to. You can even use, for instance, Google Reverse Image Search, just the photograph of an individual space, if you upload it into Google Reverse Image Search, now you can find their Facebook page, their Instagram, if they have that same photo uploaded, and so this perception of anonymity really needs to be addressed if these individuals don't know that they're actually traceable through the images that they're putting up.


In this course, we're going to be looking at the Gospel according to St. Luke. What sort of a book is it? What's it trying to do? Well, to answer that question, who better than Luke himself? Because in his own introduction to the book, this is what he says. Many people have undertaken to draw up an orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled in our midst. He doesn't yet say what events these are, but that will become apparent. It's a kind of a nice grand literary opening. He goes on, It has been handed down to us by the original eyewitnesses and stewards of the word. So, most excellent Theophilus, since I had traced the course of all of it scrupulously from the start, I thought it a good idea to write an orderly account for you so that you may have secure knowledge about the matters in which you have been instructed. Well, you may say, who is Theophilus? And the answer, frustratingly, is we don't know. It may be a fictitious person, a kind of general dedication. Theophilus could mean a lover of God. It may be that Luke is gesturing towards a wide audience beyond the borders of Judaism to the Gentile world, where there were many who were seeking to be lovers of God and were drawn into the Jewish narrative and story and the scriptural world. Or maybe Theophilus is an actual person, maybe a high official, and Luke is dedicating his work to him. He pops up again at the beginning of Acts, which is Luke's second volume. And really, one has to consider Luke and Acts together, though we won't be able to do that during this course. But what this tells us is that Luke is taking care to stand back and say, now, there's a lot of stuff going on. People have written about these events. He doesn't actually name Jesus himself until verse 31 of this chapter. So there's a while to go before we even get the name. But Luke knows that Theophilus knows where we're going and what it's all going to be about. And so Luke is telling us that this is a kind of a life of Jesus, but within the whole purview of the larger events which are going on at the time. The Jewish story, the story of Israel, the story of Israel's God, and what this God has done and is doing and will do. And Luke, we often say, is a historian. He tells us that he's basing his work on sources. I've often said to students when teaching this stuff that Luke explains he's used oral and written sources. He's checked things out with the eyewitnesses and stewards of the word. That may be a technical term in early Christianity for people who in the different early Christian communities were regarded as a kind of safe pair of hands. This is somebody who really knows the story, who knows how to tell it. Luke has checked it out with people like that. And he's also checked things out with people who were there. It's not clear and most people think it in fact isn't the case that Luke had known Jesus himself. It's not impossible, but he may be somebody who's come into Christianity quite early on and has had the time and opportunity to go around and check things out. We won't be able to get too much into detail, but those who think, as I do, that Luke was a companion of Paul on some of his travels have as one possible hypothesis that when Paul was in prison in Caesarea, awaiting the hearing which would eventually send him on the ship all the way to Rome and to Caesar, that Luke may have had the leisure during those two years to go around and check things out. And it may be that his gospel is the fruit of that research. But anyway, he tells us that other people have done this sort of thing before. Many have undertaken to draw up an orderly account of the events. So Luke knows not just of one other gospel, but he implies several. Of course, we have in the New Testament Matthew and Mark and John as well as Luke. Hardly anyone thinks that Luke knew John, although I have heard people try to suggest bits of a theory like that. Almost everybody thinks that Luke used Mark. And indeed, when we put Luke and Mark side by side and map them out, we can see how he has used Mark. He has had a lot of material of his own which isn't in Mark, and then he cuts in and follows Mark quite closely, though usually abbreviating the Mark and passages, and then he goes back to his own material again. And we can see that in detail in passage after passage, until finally everything comes rushing together in the story of Jesus last days in Jerusalem and his crucifixion when there's so much overlap between the different versions that it's hard to tell who used what. And along with that question of Luke using Mark, many people think still that Luke and Matthew had access to another source or a combination of sources, which scholars down the years have referred to by the letter Q, which stands for the German feller, which means source. And so the old theory was that Luke had Mark on the one hand and this mythical hypothetical document called Q on the other, Q being the bits which Luke and Matthew have in common, and that Luke has maybe adjusted Q a little bit like he's adjusted Mark here and there, and that maybe Matthew has adjusted Q as well. I, however, in common with many scholars today, take a different view, and that is that Luke almost certainly had access to Matthew. There are some today indeed who argue, went the other way, that Matthew had access to Luke and the fact that very senior distinguished scholars can take both those views tells us that we shouldn't be too dogmatic about that. And in this course, I'm not going to assume one particular relationship between Luke and Matthew, but I am going to assume, as I say with most, that Luke has used Mark and that again and again we can see Luke's particular emphasis, not only in his own special material, but in the way he has used Mark. But the point is he's used oral and written sources and if we know anything about oral culture in a time like Luke's, it's pretty clear that once people started telling stories about Jesus in communities from Jerusalem all the way north to Antioch and maybe south towards Egypt as well and maybe out into the wider world, then there were many, many, many stories and versions of stories around and Luke has quite deliberately, as he says, tidied them up and presented them in an orderly fashion. When did this happen and does that matter? Well, some people have dated Luke very late into the 90s or even some into the second century. Some have dated Luke as early as the mid-60s which would fit with the idea that he had been writing this Gospel while Paul was in prison in Caesarea. Does it matter? Not a great deal. What we know about the early Roman Empire, particularly the end of Julius Caesar and then the reign of Augustus and then the reign of Tiberius which is covering the time when Jesus was born and Tiberius, Jesus' public ministry. What we know about that, we know from four ancient Roman sources, Tacitus, Suetonius, Velaeus Paterculus and Diocasius. Now, Tacitus was writing around 100 or so AD. In other words, a good century and more after the time of Augustus. Suetonius likewise. Suetonius lived to about 122 AD so he was writing in the early second century. Velaeus Paterculus was a contemporary of Tacitus, a contemporary of Tiberius but Diocasius was even later. He lived from the middle of the second century to early in the third century but he had splendid information and nobody today says, oh, you can't trust Diocasius because he's writing two and a half centuries later after the time of Julius Caesar and Augustus. No, we say these are the main sources and when we look at them together they make excellent sense of Augustus, Tiberius and so on. And likewise, Josephus, the great Jewish historian who is writing in the second half of the first century, nobody says that just because he's writing 100 years after the reign of Herod the Great, therefore we can't trust him to tell us about Herod the Great. No, we say he's one of the primary sources. Most of what we know about Herod the Great comes to us from Josephus. So the idea which some people still cherish that you have to date the sources really early in order to be sure that they're accurate or if you say that they're really quite late this means that they're all fuzzy and irrelevant and it's all made up later. That's a completely false perception and we shouldn't get hung up therefore on the question of dating which in any case is not part of the New Testament and those of us who have a high view of the New Testament can read it cheerfully without finding any particular specific information about when Luke or Acts was written. I think as I say that it's quite likely that Luke itself was written around the time of Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea and that then Acts was written not that long afterwards quite possibly for use in Paul's forthcoming trial in Rome since again and again in Acts what Luke says is or rather he gets Gentile rulers to say towards the end of his story that Paul is innocent, he's not doing anything wrong he is not guilty of the charges laid against him and indeed as we shall see later that is one of the themes which dominates quite a bit of Luke's writing the sense that this story is the story of good and upright and righteous people who are following God, the God of Israel in all the commandments and ordinances that he's set out who are loyal to the traditions who are faithfully following through on the covenant God made with Abraham or rather that it's God through them who is faithfully following through on that covenant in the orderly events which have taken place. So what is Luke doing throughout this book? He is explaining not only that this is the story of Jesus this is a book which is roughly in the genre which in the Hellenistic world would be called a Bios a life when Roman in Latin a vita that is what we would say roughly a biography not necessarily like a modern biography but the life of a particular individual here Luke lays out the conception and birth of Jesus and then the crucial events from when he was roughly 30 years old through to his death and then his resurrection and indeed ascension so this is no ordinary Bios but it's likewise a Bios with a difference in the sense that Luke is telling the story of Jesus as the fulfillment of the story of Israel again and again in the opening chapters we'll see this clearly that what is about to happen and then what is happening is the thing which scripture had always pointed to the fulfillment of the long narrative the long dark winding narrative it isn't the case as some have imagined that this is a sort of progressive revelation that the story was getting lighter and lighter and lighter until finally the sun arose as it were no this has been a strange and dark narrative because Luke's story is not just about mercy and grace but it's also about warning and judgment and the two go side by side step by step throughout the book with Jesus himself both articulating that mercy and that judgment and then himself going ahead as it were and embodying it but if then the fulfillment of the scriptures is one of Luke's major themes which he emphasizes again and again and particularly in the final chapter in chapter 24 one of the themes which goes with that is the temple the story begins in the temple with Zechariah who is to become the father of John the Baptist and it ends right at the end of chapter 24 with the disciples returning from the mount of the ascension and being continually in the temple praising God Luke wants to tell the story in such a way that it has a temple feel about it because the temple is where heaven and earth come together and though Jesus issues severe warnings against the temple in Jerusalem there is a sense that Israel's history and the idea of God coming to dwell in the midst of Israel in the temple and before that of course in the tabernacle in the wilderness this is what is now fulfilled in Jesus and then as he says in Acts by the Spirit so it's not just a matter of this is a bit of Jewish backdrop the temple adds the theological depth to the whole narrative that God promised to dwell with his people and that promise made to David and then through Solomon when the temple was built a thousand years earlier this promise is now coming to a whole fresh fulfillment in Jesus and then by his spirit and because God is coming to dwell in the midst God is coming to dwell as king and the theme of God's kingdom is huge therefore Luke as of course it is for the other gospels as well but Luke has demarcated it quite carefully there is a sense as elsewhere that the kingdom is already here because Jesus says if I by the finger of God cast out demons then God's kingdom has come upon you in other words what Jesus himself is doing is the royal power of God let loose in the world but equally on the night he is betrayed Jesus says to his followers I won't drink again from the fruit of the vine until I drink it new with you in the kingdom of God in other words there is a sense in which Jesus death and resurrection make real in a new way what was inaugurated fleetingly almost secretly in Jesus public career itself so that the idea of the kingdom and the idea of the temple are hovering over the whole of Luke's narrative and as he sets it out it isn't just orderly events this is what happened next this is what happened next and so on again and again Luke is explaining that this is the fulfillment of scripture the fulfillment of God's purpose in and through the temple the fulfillment of God's desire to come into his own world to become king of the world though this is a very Jewish idea the idea of God becoming king an idea which goes back to the Psalms and to Daniel and to Isaiah and even further back than those nevertheless part of the whole point of the kingdom of God in those scriptural texts is that this is not simply something for Israel not simply something for the physical descendants of Abraham it's something which is designed to spread throughout and indeed to bring life to the whole world so that Luke's purpose again and again is to say this is how the story of Israel was fulfilled in order that then God would become king of the whole world Luke is quite careful many have pointed out in his gospel not to anticipate too much what's going to happen in acts when the Gentiles do get to hear and to everyone's astonishment Gentiles come to faith and are incorporated into this increasing and large family which remains the family which God promised to Abraham in the gospel itself this remains a matter of promise we don't get many Gentiles actually coming into contact with Jesus during the course of the gospel itself but that is the plan and when people have talked about whether Luke is a Gentile gospel or a Jewish gospel that often just misses the point we don't know for sure whether Luke was himself Jewish or non-Jewish but the point is he is plugging into this great scriptural narrative in which it was always God's purpose that when Israel's history reached where it was supposed to reach then finally the Gentiles would come in on the blessing and would be drawn into that in that moment of fulfillment and so that is the larger story that Luke is telling why is he telling it this way what's he trying to do well many including myself have suggested parallels between Luke and the Jewish historian Josephus who I mentioned before Josephus is writing after the terrible Jewish war the Roman Jewish war of 66 to 70 AD climaxing in the destruction of the temple in 70 itself and Josephus is trying to explain both to his Jewish readers and to Gentiles to his Roman audience listening in that these things were terrible and they happened because of the wickedness of some of the Jewish people but that actually the Jews and their traditions were a great and noble historical line which ought still to be respected and in a sense Luke is doing a similar thing at a time when maybe certainly in the 60s in Rome Christians were persecuted after the great fire of Rome in 64 particularly but Luke and others are saying that those who follow Jesus are part of this historical line they are part of the people of the creator God part of the family whom God has chosen and sent out into the world to be the light of the world so Luke is explaining already in the way he is producing this orderly account of the events concerning Jesus what this movement is all about in order to say to anyone watching whether they are part of the movement whether they are Jewish, whether they are Roman or whoever this is who we are it's a presentation not only of Jesus but of Jesus' followers designed to be pondered over and wondered at by the whole rest of the world so this is what we are in for and in the next session we will start off where Luke starts off with a priest in the temple who is very puzzled by the news of what's now going to happen
