Check the link in the description to find your local Co-op. Right Bas, Algarve Cup. I'm excited. This is the one I've wanted for years. I was going to say this is the one that I've wanted for years to win the Algarve Cup. I wanted to win the Berry Cup on Wednesday but we couldn't quite manage it. It's the one I want. Well it should be the one we want. We should want to win everything to be playing. Now it looks like a good tournament on paper. A good little pre-season venture. Quite sure lots of blues have winged the way out there or will be. Or drive the way out there or swim or do whatever they want to do to get out there. But yeah, should be good. Two games in two days. Good teams. Yeah and it's a good opportunity to go up a little bit isn't it? I was looking at the fixers just double checking and I'm glad the fixers have fallen the way. We played Leal first which I would say between the two teams is the slightly weaker opposition. And then on to Porto on the Sunday night which is again a little bit more tougher. So it's good in progress. I mean it wouldn't have really mattered too much in the other way round but it's good in that progression that he's stepping up every single game playing tougher opposition, fitter opposition, getting ready for the new season. Yeah and I was reading Marco Silva's comments about it and he was saying that's how it's worked out. That's what he wanted. He wanted to build up the level of opposition. Obviously we started with a level of opposition the first game and then it stepped up at Berry and then it's going to step up again this weekend. Although when he was saying that I did think so what was saying is Blackburner a little bit stronger in Porto but more physical than Porto. It's good the way it's worked out. It'll be a good opportunity again for the players to try and stake your claim and to get fit and you wouldn't imagine with the two games in the two days you're probably going to see maybe like 70 minutes. I think you need to. I think you need to see 65 minutes at least for both squads on both nights if you know what I mean and then the subspeed the other show. It'll be tough of course it will but they've been doing double sessions and they've even trained the day at the Berry game and then played in the night. So trying to get that leg working and these will be different oppositions because technically they'll be better obviously than what we've faced so far both of them.  Obviously you've got the heat factor as well which will be different and the opposition and as you said it's better opposition you'll keep the ball better therefore your plays will have to put in a little bit more leg work. Again all these factors just helping and helping and helping but from our point of view I think again it's about watching the shape isn't it? It's about watching, it's about seeing how we develop and how that develops over these two games and whether we'll stick to that particular system in both games as well. Yeah it will be interesting because you would think I mean in the two games we've played so far we've had most of the ball and well we've had all of the ball. We have all of the ball in one of them. And most of the ball the other night barely didn't we. So in the East it'll probably be a little bit more, you'd expect it to be a bit of a more even split so what will be interesting in that situation will be how we get into our defensive shape how we press, how we move about the pitch as a team because that's what I'm looking for to see if we've learned stuff. Because for me I know everyone's got a different opinions on how it's going so far but I've been quite enthused by what I've seen in terms of the way the team is trying to play when you'd only have to think back a few months and it was just disjointed everything was disjointed and I know we haven't played anyone so people could go and you know I'm not reading too much into it but what I mean is I'm seeing is kind of ideas. I mean that's all you can do isn't it because that's his job in terms of everything is to focus on the players, get them playing the same way, getting his ideals drilled into these players. That's his job, he's a coach. You know we've got massive brands doing the other bits, trying to do the other bits. It's his job to get these players playing the same way and there's a little bit of a lack of excitement at the moment I think amongst fans even though we've got a new manager, we've got a new structure because there are new players and to get people excited it's going to take time isn't it and things that take time don't necessarily generate a lot of excitement because you've got to wait for the rewards and it might take a little bit to get our rewards from what Michael Silver's trying to do but that's got to start somewhere. It's got to start as a pre-season, you've got to start seeing it from day one so that might excite everyone but that's his job at the end of the day. Yeah it's a little bit similar to Ronald Coomans, some face summer isn't it, coming in and not, I know we've got Stechlenberg straight away but not really happened and then Welsh coming in at the start and it was as we were getting closer to the window the difference then was of course the windows at the end of August where it's the day before the season starts so we are having to wait and it has been hectic summer I suppose because of all the changes and the World Cup and some deals haven't come off that they want and stuff so we have just got to be patient as a fan base, we've got to look at what we've got we know that it needs additions, there's no question about it you know if we've got aspirations to go where the clubs say we want to go we have to buy players, we know that we have to buy better quality but you can only judge on what you're seeing and what's here at the moment it's great going, imagine if we get Gottini or imagine if we got Malcolm who no one was really talking about a week ago, imagine if we got him yeah that's great and to look at those players you get excited but you have to look at what's here right now and go what is he doing actually with these players who weigh him performing last season how are they doing any difference? he said himself after the game the next week when he's making some tough decisions on players so you just wonder whether he's kind of using this for a final look and then to go right you lock on in my plans basically I'm not saying that's delaying players coming in but I'm just saying yeah that's going to come on to that, that's a really big thing isn't it he did say after buried that this is the end of the line this could be the end of the line for some people he wants to use this tip away to just finalise see what people are like at probably 60% playing 75 minutes against the good sides and the heat and whether they've took on because for him from his point of view what he'd be looking at is looking and thinking have these players taken on what I've asked them to do and ultimately can they do it because it's alright listen you'll have loads of players who've been keen enough for it and want to do it but they're not up to it, they're not good enough to play then that might hasten you know obviously them getting told that they need to find a new club but also then if there was any doubt over a position of the club whether they were going to buy someone they'll I'm sure they'll speed that process up to try and get players in the door yeah I mean I think sometimes we forget how it can be difficult to get players in quick as quick as you want to for various reasons you know we're not quite sure they would have liked them in sooner but if a deal takes longer to get over the line for whatever reason then that's what we have to go with don't we but that's what I'm saying we can only really work with what we've got which is what he's doing at the minute but also he will make some of those decisions and you wouldn't imagine that I reckon between I think there could be like 8 or 10 who are told yeah this isn't going to happen for you do you think that many though because just don't well how many is in the squad there's still about 32 I think isn't there 33 so if he wants 25 and he wants to bring three or four in you know if it was 10 like just let you use that as a thing if it was 10 and that might be four youngsters who need to go on loan again for another 12 months by the way but if it was 10 that takes it down to 22 so three or four takes it to 25 26 which is what he said he wants so it could be it could quite easily being with that I'm talking Balasi talking maybe Davey Klassen you know he's for me this weekend is massive for Klassen he's got to he's got to go somewhere and be in the game although I mean it that decision might already have been made by the way but I think that Sanzo maybe you know Vlassits maybe on loan so it's all of the friends you know and don't forget talking it we haven't seen Guilfee we haven't seen Ghana we haven't seen Pickford Wellcott's supposed to be back and look man are both supposed to be taking part this weekend so you know when you're looking at it like that these decisions really I've got to be taking very very quickly and say look we've had a good look at you I've had the look I've made sure because don't forget they'll are coming he'll are coming to the club with a predetermined idea on plays you'd have to be you'd have to be watching videos and getting as much information they could come in and go I know what you're about but let me have a look what you're like like you just said you were alright then you were working hard you were alright in that game what are you like now going as flat out as you can against good teams can you do it now you might shine and he goes like alright I remember you talking the other day about Karen Dahl saying he might be one who actually makes them go we'll be thinking about another player in that position just as a backup but we don't actually need him because this fella can do it flip sides the other way we thought you could do that job but actually we're going to need to replace you but that's it because every day you know we're talking about having a week away training and looking good and doing it when there's a certain intensity and there's a certain level but suddenly when there's an opposition and they're engaging and you're making continued mistakes you've got to make these decisions haven't you you've got to make short and long term decisions for plays like that as well for a lot of plays I mean not just people like Karen Dahl there'd be people like Tom Davies I would imagine who would be looking over the shoulder thinking am I part of this guy's plans you know am I a valuable part of this squad or am I someone on the edges who has to worry has to look over the shoulder can I integrate myself into the way this guy wants to play have I got the right asset have I got the right tools yes I might be a you know I might be a good footballer but have I got what is needed for this guy can that happen to every player because you look at players you club selling you go why are they getting into the room and it's not that they're not good football it's because good players move from clubs all the time top clubs move players on who you look and go because what a player he is doesn't mean they're not good it just means they're not going to fit in with what he wants he may not be able to do what he wants he may not fancy them they may not like the manager so there's loads of variables but I just think I think we'll know more about this current squad on Monday or Sunday night after the portal game he will go he definitely is enough for it and he is enough for it I think more importantly he will know more about it on Sunday night well that's it isn't it you know whatever happens in the two games you want them to have an idea you know you want them to know what where where they need to go you know if we have two shockers we have two shockers do you know what I mean if that's what happens it'll make decisions won't it that's the way you look at it I mean what's your thoughts on this comment what have you what have you made of it so far now you you know there's other things that you'd like us to get on with but what have you made of what you've seen so far and because I know a lot of people certainly what I've seen on social media and that are very very negative about it I don't I'll be honest I'm not finding many reasons to be excited and I'm not saying that in terms of I'm down on it but I look at it and I just think I don't think we're going to massively improve so the football might be better but I don't think we're going to see a massive improvement in in in terms of where we'll finish in the league I think it's going to be an ongoing process but I don't I don't think there's enough talent in this squad to be knocking on the door of you know the top six as it stands I just don't I just don't think there is I just I think the process will take a while to get to the kind of encourage the way the playing of the style that you can I won't know till after the weekend I just don't think we've played the two games have been you know insignificant for me I think I just think that the levels as well we've got to see them play in a you know you know what I mean on Wednesday night for the first 20 minutes you're looking at going well made like five six chances here and then there was a massive drop off and then the second half you know it was a different team and they put a different team into a tad but that first 20 minutes yeah we were full of energy and we made chances and stuff and but then you're looking at the opposition I think after the weekend as you said we'll know we'll know where we are we'll know whether the football is starting to stick as well because that's the other thing as well but you've got a the players have got to believe in what they're being asked to do and if they don't then that's another see that's another way to go look at them and you to my players leaving clubs you are good if a player comes in and he goes I don't I don't believe and we had you know listen that's what ultimately finished Martin is off because players not believing in the way they were playing so I think most of them will most of them will look at it like this I'll enjoy this but see I think the way silver plays requires a lot of hard work and if plays are not prepared to put the put the add put the extra put the extra and always remember the thing that always sticks out my mind was when Andrews Townsend left space and it was basically because he wasn't prepared to work because as as Pochettino wanted them to work and basically that was it look where he is now he's a palace just he went to Newcastle to palaces where there's other people that committed to it and really knuckled down and I get in the road for it so I think I'd like to think that most of our plays will feel like that. See I see plays in our squad I think it'll really benefit the likes of Walcott who works really hard Seamus does naturally I think like Tom Davis will work hard whether he's in the team or he's a sub or whatever so I think there's plays who will embrace it Guilfy works hard anyway and I think if you're working hard and you look across and you're working hard and he's working hard all of a sudden you want to do it where I think at times last season Jenks none on the rand and he's looking rand and people all ruined he was running and others weren't or whatever it starts you know you'd say like why is he pressing and then he just pass it round I mean he looks you but I think where if you're all doing it you get that extra out your team as well but you know I mean just looking down Leal's side it'll be interesting because we were actually linked with two or three of these over the year over the summer he says looking at Porto I'll start with Porto first Porto obviously Cassius former islander keeper. Okay yeah. He's also got Giao Pedro who's a good player. He's got Lizao who I'm afraid of Bruno Costa who a lot of people really write and I'm afraid of Mareiga who haven't been linked with and they've also got Abubacar who we were linked with and they've got seen someone else as well. Oh Hernandez as well he was good for Mexico in the World Cup so they've got some good players and Brahimi of course who we were linked with very strongly when Kuma was here that'll be. They won't be playing or they'll play in the World Cup will they? Well one of them will be but Brahimi and Abubacar will be the only Mareiga in them. You should imagine so they've got some really good players who will test us and Leal we've been linked in the summer with Samaric they sent her back and we were all. I have to get all the players right. Well you do but apparently we were like looking at him but these have got seen him before where's he gone? Leal Remi. Leal. Good old Leal seems to have been knocking around forever so it'll be interesting because they've got good players El Ghazi's decent as well the left winger so these are vehicle tests I'd obviously played them a few seasons ago with them but they'll be a good test because they're obviously going to be technically better than Berry like we said the other night. They might even be as physical as what Berry where which might enable everything to do with it. Well it's a big jump isn't it from playing a team and beating the 22 nil to playing two games in a decent climate, two tough games so it's a big jump as well so it'll be interesting to see how people carry themselves. There's a game the first games the Friday night game which obviously Porto versus Leal. Evan's flown out three o'clock on Friday. So Leal will be playing, the game is there he'll be back to back. Porto will have to break in between. That's set up shall Porto come in there. Yeah basically yeah of course it is but it's interesting because after these two games then we've only got Bach playing and Valencia. You'd really want another one in there wouldn't you? It's mad that, I know that we're trying to get another one in the week of building up to the Valencia game. Maybe they'll have a bounce game or something might present itself locally or whatever It's strange that because I was looking at Man United last night and I think they were playing their first pre-season game, it was against Club America in Arizona and I looked at like their pre-seasons basically all in America but obviously they're playing a lot of good sides and it's all playing over there, they're all waking top class facilities and it's all different levels of course, they're playing, they're playing San Jose, A.A.F.Cates while they're out there and they're playing Liverpool but it seems all intense over a short space of time so I mean there's no, I'm suppose there's no right or wrong way but I just think they should really be room for another one in there just because there are so many players that see this is, I like these kind of things but it's like back to back because you've got a lot of players so you can't all play in a game so you don't want them all to have different levels of fitness so it would just be nice if they were, well also they're like so gilfy and gone you want them to play in a couple of games don't you and any new additions so I mean listen, they may end up with another one in that week I'm quite sure he will want another one, it might end up with a behind closed doors or French farm game but I know that they're really trying to get one and it looked like they had a couple in Europe and then they fell through for various reasons so but I'm quite sure they're still plugging away because it would be good to, we found last season with the break between the friendly and then the European game there was a couple of times we could have thrown a game in even 45 minutes for two teams in between the games which I think would have kicked us on a little bit and it didn't. At the end of the day I mean listen these are games of football at the end of tough training week, that's what it's all about Training is the most important thing, that's where you get, especially if you are intense, if you are working really hard, at the end of the day the game is to see it all come together what you've been working on a week. It's almost a reward as well, it's a reward for the hard work to go and put it in because players like playing games so that's the job the double sessions each day and stuff so they'll know about it, I think it, I don't think us as fans if there was another game it'd be, that's the laugh we had and go have, you know it would be nice if there was a game on the satay after the black playing game that's fair, it's the other Sunday even, even Sunday just a couple of days left and then you play again or even two games, split the squad sure there's anyone left, the two you can get though isn't it that's the week before the championships start isn't it so it's, you would have thought maybe a European venue somewhere or Ireland or somewhere or you know yeah, but alright come on next week and see we'll be playing bye in at the Allianz, there you go alright we'll play Red Bull Leipzig, that'll be nice yeah, it'll be interesting wouldn't it see him close up, we can have a look at Timo close up if we're asking about Tiff, if we're playing Shillybuggers then that's what you do but no I'm looking forward to it, it should be good do you think it'll be a little bit like what we've seen so far where it'll be like one game will be his strongest team and another, or do you think there'll be more mixing it up you might keep his strongest team for Sunday yeah, well that's what I, so so therefore what you'd expect then is almost a team I played at the set because it seems very much like that doesn't it in the two games so far, this is me eleven I just wonder whether he, I don't know almost like showing his hand a little bit by doing that because I just think that if he mixed it a little bit then maybe maybe he will though, especially if he's got, if Walcott's going to take any path he might be the one that's twenty minutes on both days though because he hasn't done a thing, because he's been injured for a couple of days but there's still a couple to come back in who haven't been, you know luckman obviously wasn't involved in that whole gate, I'm not sure about whole gate, he had a man in the knock as well I think so hopefully he'll be fifth for the weekend and then he might, he might mix it up a little bit, he might go, we'll do half and half on both lengths but it'll just be good, it'll just be interesting to see and you know do a bit of getting a goal keep that ticking over, and he has to bounce the score no matter what the score is you know what he's like, he will score, so both games are eight o'clock on Saturday and Sunday, so there's your weekend sorted, basically, yeah yeah, Saturday night Sunday right, great happy days, chill out on the day and then what's the boys in the night happy days, happy days, let us know your thoughts in the comments about the game, I mean I think for me the most important thing is that we see a little bit of progression and the manager just comes out of that weekend going bye bye bye bye bye bye bye yeah, there you have it, let us know your thoughts in the comments, don't forget if you haven't already please subscribe, click the bell for later, you know when there's videos coming out and if you want more videos join us over on Patreon, we'll see you later


Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Wherever you are. This is Think Tech Hawaii. Rule of law in the new abnormal. Whatever that may be. And we have the great pleasure and honor of having with us today, Professor Vanalia Randall, who is currently in Florida. Professor Emerita from University of Dayton School of Law. We have Sina Patterson up north in Germantown, Maryland, right? Mediator and arbitrator par excellence. We have Professor Emeritus getting the gender right. Ben Davis from the University of Toledo School of Law and balancing out us non-academics. Jeff Portnoy, all the way from Beverly Hills, our leading post amendment and constitutional lawyer with his Hawaii lava hat out by the pool in Beverly Hills. We're getting a little feedback from okay well yeah he's out of the pool so there's probably people talking. Okay so I was going to tell that Jeff since Jeff's in Beverly Hills I was going to tell the famous Beverly Hills joke which is the producer meeting with the other producer for lunch and one producer talks about himself for like two hours and looks at his watch and says oh heaven I've been talking about myself for two hours. Let's talk about you. Tell me what do you think of me? I have to admit I don't get the joke. Okay but then I don't get a lot of jokes so I have to I'm constantly telling my son I don't get it. All right okay fair enough it's like it's all about him. Everybody in Iowa it's all about themselves. Okay got it. We get that. Okay so that's a good a good segue a good transition we have four right inquiring critical thinking minds here. What is it about right now that's on your mind? Professor Randall what's getting your attention these days in what's going on? The open air prison in Gaza the open prayer prison called Gaza is on my mind. The lack of movement on on uh voting rights and the lack of movement on police reform and Biden's reneging on the student loan forgiveness are the things on my mind. Okay that gives us what's on other people's minds. Okay Tina what about you? What's on my mind? Voting rights and how it's being presented in the media and the lack of coordinated effort the lack of info or true information about the impact regarding the ID requirements. Maryland is moving to going without mask starting on Monday the 31st of May. What impact will that be? We still have a population that isn't vaccinated and there is a subset of that population that will never be vaccinated for whatever reasons. I spent a part of my morning hearing a presentation regarding allowing alcohol in the parks when we know that right now is probably one of the most tenuous times for us as a region but also as a society. COVID has for better for worse brought forward some of the more dangerous aspects of mental health but also some of our coping skills and mechanisms and for some of us we've reached our breaking point so um knowing that there are people who are suffering from depression other forms of mental illness and not necessarily addressing that especially in our minority and color communities of color. And the third and it's more of a personal sticking point for me is the conversations that I'm hearing from people who are saying that they're concerned that they're their children and I'm talking specifically about people who would be identified as white saying our schools schools don't want my boy don't want my girl in their school any longer. Those those places are being taken by African American students or Asian students or other students of color to which I would say that's utter poppycock. I have another word I'd use offline but it it shapes me that we're still having this conversation because someone you know the the response has been well you know we have affirmative action that should be enough. Folks it's this is not about affirmative action we are in the midst of societal change and if this is bothering you imagine what it's been like for people like Professor Davis or Professor Randall for me who have been challenged at some point or another regarding our access to education and why we were present where we were. So those are the things that are on my mind probably more than you wanted to hear but those were the first things that came forth. No it's absolutely wonderful and it brings to mind a friend asked the other day he said you think there's any other country in the world who where the law is restricting open carry of alcohol are more strict than the laws about open carry of guns. Okay brother Ben what's on your mind. Here at least last night on Rachel Maddow talking more about civil or criminal action at the federal level with regard to the Arizona product that's going on and that's trying to be replicated across the country. I'm like this should have happened a month two months ago when this stuff started because I considered election interference and I'm just happy to hear that there is some murmuring but there's no doing yet but there needs to be some doing because this is clearly a new game of our old game of trying to do election interference coupled with all the 400 bills to suppress the vote. I am also concerned about the fact that you got to have the mother of this officer sickening got to walk around on Capitol Hill and Senator's offices for the Republicans to tell them you got it was horrible that day and my son died and you need to vote for what we're talking about and the fact that this this person is getting this kind of message which is Mark and go into but we're not going to do it tells me that it really is like that Hollywood joke I was thinking about it's all about me there is nothing going on in these people's heads except what just anything about an angle on themselves and I really it's a it's a tragedy and I don't know what literally the absence of anything that could be even called seems appalling the other thing that's on my mind is I just read a piece about the military commission down in Guantanamo and it was interesting is that the judge in one of these cases had said that if the defense can prove this person was tortured then we'll reduce the sentence for if we end up getting it to that point and now there's a agreement that's basically being done to get that decision vacated as part of a of a puny deal for the guy to get less years in other words the CIA doesn't want anything to come out about how they tortured this guy and other guys and they're willing to give the guy fewer years so they can basically walk off the signal there for 12 years if they can get this decision vacated that the that the military judge did it's an abomination that we are at this point this far along that the the truth about all that no one's been prosecuted it's you know I was thinking today well now maybe there's something more I can do on this but it's off um beyond that and Guantanamo beyond that it's uh just the various types of I think good laws that are being proposed that have passed the house that are sitting in the Senate under McConnell who by the way is a descendant of a slave owner and he acts like a descendant of a slave owner in the way that he's operating on this thing they really don't care about people and it just it's awful it's awful that's what I'm thinking about okay hey brother Jeff can you unmute and share what's on your mind I think the country is as divided as it's ever been since the civil war I think the issue of racism has completely divided the country as never before at least in the last century the bills that are passing in so many states to forbid the teaching of racism is to me the most profound impact on where society in this country is in maybe the last 150 years when you can't get agreement on a commission to investigate the storming of the capital you know that this country is so bitterly divided between old white men and women all of the new emerging strong will uh other ethnic and other groups of people as white people become petrified that they're going to quote lose control of their country and you can criticize the senate all you want but what you have to remember is they are representing those 50 republicans are representing 40 percent of the country and that's the scary part and what's happening in state legislatures makes what's happening in washington almost insignificant so that's what's bothering me when you can no longer teach and I think it's six states and I expect it'll be a lot more than that before it's over the principles of racism you know this country is at a crossroads and what's been so discouraging about all of the discussion about eliminating racism is that they have used a concept that doesn't at all do what they say it does to and to scare people because critical race theory and I was teaching when the concepts of critical race theory was developed in legal education and it developed as a legal concept of understanding how race impacts the law and the interpretation of law and it has it the idea that it's taught in schools is beyond my mind I wish it was you know but critical race theory is not even taught in law schools where for the most part and so it is worse than a strong person to put up critical race theory it's a lie to the public to to rile up races who are scared and don't understand well if I can jump in with regard to those fearful white people out there one of the things that I want to say is I just found this last week this is a hot off the hot off the news I finally got a translation of a papal letter from 1478 that has been argued to be the the place where the idea of white supremacy was initiated it was basically the one that started the Spanish Inquisition distinguishing Jews and the Africa and the way they were going to be treated and all that and so um particular papal bull and there's other ones that are related to it anyway I wrote a piece on this up on SSRN but the the translation into English of it for the first time happened last week by a guy at the Library of Congress named Andrew Gadio who's my co-author and it's worth the read from 1478 to see how little we have progressed as people in the 550 I have years since then the other thing I wanted to say about that is when I sent this to a guy he sent me court decisions or an article where he cited to pre-civil war court decisions where there was all kind of stuff about the natural state of blasphemy you know the religious heathen thing all that were in court decisions so how can you have six states that have law school where people will study law and they'll do pre-civil war law and there are cases which speak about this and you're not supposed to say something I mean well you can't talk about red dot well you can't talk about anything you know what I mean it's just but the thing that I think my understanding I've been following is this the the thing my understanding and I haven't actually read the laws so I'm speaking off the top of my head but my understanding is those laws are misconstrued because they're focused on stopping the teaching of race and racism in K through 12 am I wrong on that yeah well it's designed to stop teaching that one race has been less than friendly to other races I'll put it that way but 12 it's it's about it's about maintaining ignorance of everyone by by doing a K through 12 and then you get you get these people who spent their whole life which it's interesting to me because during my teaching of race and racism in the law what I found is it wasn't being taught so it wasn't like I was getting students K coming to law school who understood the racial history of America no they didn't understand they didn't understand the racial history of their own group and they had little understanding of the racial history of their own group legal racial history of their own group and no understanding of anyone else so this issue of teach not teaching race and racism I think it's it's like to hammer people over the head to give them a stick when they win because when someone feels bad about having something done in a in an elementary of school I it doesn't seem to be focused at this stage on colleges and law school okay well then what it is is it's threatening teachers at the you know the teachers who speak to these things to get them fired that's one thing the other thing is you know I went to fifth grade and sixth grade we learned about Columbus we learned about Vasco the Gama going around Africa we learned about all those people but what we didn't learn about was that the issue was that the Mediterranean trade groups were dominated by Muslims and so the Europeans are trying to find a way around and that's what was prompting a lot of that stuff we heard just generally that let's go west to go east and a thing of Columbus but what we didn't learn about were things like the kinds of things that you read about in these uh in the in the particular letters that place popes did like in the mid 15th century where there's a pope who left for the Portuguese and the Spanish the perpetual enslavement of Africans but the most profound the most profound problem is the increasing trend of state legislatures trying to impose on the educational system what can be taught and what can't be taught it's more than just the race issue which is now the prominent issue 10 years ago it was religion five years from now it'll be women's rights and frankly frankly I think you know this may sound a little bit weird but in my view we're back in the reconstruction era yeah we are back in reconstruction well I think we're not back in reconstruction we're where reconstruction would would would be a decent time it's back after reconstruction but the thing is my my okay redemption okay case books are limited size what can be taught is limited in content in Texas has always used their power to control as in my lifetime Texas has always used that it's not it this it's focused on race now but it's and it's our has been focused on race even if I can remember instances throughout my career where Texas objected to something being taught a certain way and the case book authors saying okay we'll take it out the case book the extension now is to put liability on teachers who are are going to develop their own because there's all develop their own materials to develop their own lesson plans and so they're saying oh wait a minute it's not enough not to have it in the case book because teachers can go outside and get still already developed so we're going to make it uh uh uh make it where if they bring race into the classroom uh racism in the classroom and so they they're controlling more than the case book now and I think that year is something new it's it's going to be a fascinating court battle as it works its way to the supreme court is whether a state can pass a law limiting teachers free speech rights as it relates to political social and moral issues absolutely academic freedom and also here's the thing the kids in the classroom guess what they'll bring it up the kids will bring it up what's the teacher supposed to do in response but I don't really think this is an as much as I wish it was an academic freedom issue I don't think it's an academic freedom issue either well we can argue about that but I just think it's an academic freedom in terms of what a teacher does in their classroom I know that their restrictions when it's under case uh 12 uh k-12 and the k-12 if you think about colleges in law school as a law professor who tried to teach race and racism and was punished for teaching race and racism in a law school and was told that it was not an academic freedom issue the the whole point of academic freedom isn't that you get unlimited I don't agree okay let me I am articulating what was told to me and how it's used academic freedom that there is a limit to what what you can do in a classroom based on what your school kind of says is academic freedom and if the school is not saying it's academic freedom if they're saying is something else like we've got to manage uh how all the teachers are teaching the same thing we have to manage that we are sure that the students are getting through that as if they can articulate a strong enough reason that courts will buy I think that that that it should be an academic freedom issue but I'm not so sure that it will be Tina you were saying you agree I did I I I agreed with you saying that it this is not reconstruction this is post reconstruction because during the reconstruction reconstruction period we actually saw African Americans holding office the number of African Americans and states that traditionally or now we think of as um being very conservative and um racist in many ways actually had representatives Mississippi Louisiana for example Texas but also the argument that we're having now we I remember when I lived in Texas the schools were being told to not talk about reproduction human reproduction and that the only thing that should be presented was abstinence and if a student asked a question they were supposed to repeat the mantra that abstinence was and what did we have high school students getting pregnant um so it's very similar I'm sorry go ahead then Tina I'm gonna I'm gonna check uh second what you just said but I'm gonna go farther yes to professor Randall that's what they said to you and to Tina the Patterson that's what they said to you too but it's still an academic freedom issue they're just trying to tell us a point of view about what they can consider to be academic freedom that they think can run before court okay but I'm going to say that it is an academic freedom as to what a teacher can teach in a classroom whether it's first grade or 12th grade or senior year in college or in graduate school in terms of the content of the course that they're teaching and that the school will have certain things that it wants to have covered is one thing but that the teacher doesn't is allowed to be is required to be intellectually bankrupt in the terms of how they teach because of some strictures and I think in real impingement on the role of teacher that uh that uh should be visually rejected as a uh as a uh as a limit on what is academic freedom in its true sense not in sort of the corporate vision kind of sense that I'm hearing here of trying to essentially restrict what we think my problems with academic freedom is I can very easily imagine a white supremacist teaching white supremacy in the classroom with my with my son in the classroom and then claiming academic freedom I I mean it's it is not I think that to say that it's all up to teacher to decide what content is to be taught is really problematic uh academic freedom issue is a left and a right issue as we all know so I don't want to limit it to what I really said earlier that you know I just think and to clarify my reconstruction thought what I was meaning was a period of time where laws were being passed only because of their racial impact yes back then it was whites giving blacks additional freedoms or powers quote unquote and then of course what happened after reconstruction seems now we're in a period of time where state legislatures are passing laws driven by race the other way so that that's what I meant yeah but you know what I what I just want to point out and have us talk about is we've talked about this for months of what would happen when Biden got elected and what the country turned and where the divisions get minimized frankly I think the divisions now are as bad if not worse and do any of you see any hope in the immediate two years up to the 2022 election that any of these divisions are going to be compromised in the right way yet or how about the left wing how about the democrat don't click me because the democrats just as uh uh they are problematic in here in a different way yeah you know because they you know they they have to do all the things that they need to do but they're trying to protect bipartisan I don't you said in the next two years I don't see in the rest of my lifetime so I don't we're out of time that is hang on man that's that's a that's a very optimistic way to end the show I like it is it is we're out of time for today but we've gone beyond just voter repression educational repression we're literally talking about not just expression repression but thought repression yeah and we're talking about racially based caste based bias based thought repression it's overt it's violent and it's unapologetic yeah hold that thought for a couple of weeks come back well you have to bring us back to that because if you start off by asking us what's on in mind this ain't gonna be what's on my mind it's gonna be whatever happened in the last two weeks I concur yes remember when Frederick Douglass disappeared in Boston so did a truth stood up and said to Frederick Douglass he's glad everybody said no and he had hope to keep on that's what's over the truth is brother Ben on that note of hope will conclude for today remember folks please support think text yearly fundraising drive come back and see us in two weeks send us your questions send us your thoughts and we will come back to this we will not forget take good care hello thank you so much

What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm going to be talking about how to fix your PlayStation 4 if it won't go into rest mode. Let's get right into this. Putting your PlayStation 4 into rest mode can be very, very helpful for you. However, sometimes it just doesn't work and there is quick fixes to get it to work once again. If you're trying to get it into rest mode and it's just completely turning the PlayStation 4 off, there likely is an issue that needs to be addressed. What I'm going to talk about right now should fix it for most people. First, you will need to completely turn off your PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the actual console, not on your controller through the settings. Once your PlayStation 4 is turned off, unplug it, wait a couple minutes and plug it back in.  You're going to press and hold the power button. You'll hear a beep. You're going to wait and press and hold and keep holding it for seven seconds. You'll hear a second beep and then you're able to go into safe mode. Like it says on the screen, connect your PlayStation 4 controller to your PlayStation 4 with your USB cable. And now you should be on the safe mode screen for the PlayStation 4. The first thing you're going to want to do to fix the rest mode issue is to go and select rebuild database. Once the database is rebuilt, you're going to once again turn off your PlayStation 4 and re-enter safe mode. This time, however, in safe mode, you're going to select update system software. Now the only thing that's left is to test to make sure it did work for you. You're going to turn on your PlayStation 4 and then try to enter rest mode on the PlayStation 4 to make sure that it is entering rest mode properly. There should be a yellow blinking lights or yellow solid lights on the PlayStation 4 to let you know that it is in rest mode. By following these simple steps, it should have worked for you. Again, some of these fixes do not work for everybody and there's other things that you can try out there, but this is the most common thing that I have found that will fix the rest mode issue of you not being able to enter rest mode. Hope this has helped you fix your PlayStation 4 and I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.


Hi everyone, we all have heard about the company success stories, right? How Microsoft implements machine learning and production with Kubeflow and DevOps, right? The people and the Apple people and his journey to the cloud native. The seamless customer experience powered by Q&As at Walmart. And how Debbie Shia almost gets fired from Spotify, right? But what about small companies in Central America? Is that even possible in this context? Was it already been done before? Well, let's take a look. But first, let's see what is what Central America is results that it is a geographic region between North and South America, conformed by seven countries. El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama with a summarized GDP just below Columbia and with English level, low as most of the countries in the other in America affecting the access to information and education. Companies in the area has the fame to have a permanent limit budget. All and a small tech department, big resistance to change, dusty app over dusty server. And if it's working, don't touch it, don't look at it and don't even think at it because it can stop working philosophy. And there is a lot of comments like this coming from the community members. All that infrastructure server and development methodology, sadly, companies here at Guatemala are not ahead. And that had started to change. And today I want to share my story of how is it to bring DevOps to a software factory in Central America. My name is Alvin Estrada. I'm a speaker and organizer at Kubernetes Guatemala, a CNCF community group. On the last 12 years, I've seen how engineers here start moving to foreign countries and start working remotely for companies there. Even I spend good five years working remotely with a team on Netherlands. I've also collaborated with some companies in my country with his cloud adoption. And now I'm collaborating with one of the biggest company in the region with his cloud adoption and DevOps journey. And this journey starts, of course, with a digital transformation. But this digital transformation is at the speed of light. As in 2020, in a matter of weeks, everything changed. Companies around the world was in a hurry to move their business to remote and online first. There was, of course, a challenge. Have any mind that most of those companies have never built a proper e-commerce before. The necessity for engineers and experienced people increase. Local banks and retailers had to duplicate their capacity on online and white platforms. Teams and technology was already, was of course not prepared for that. The necessity for a digital transformation was evident. Sadly, the necessity for a cool transformation was not that evident. Teams inside local companies had to learn on record time how to improve performance, implement automatization, scalability, observability, and improve their English. Because, of course, you need to read documentation, watch YouTube videos and deal with cloud provider supports. Because, of course, there is usually no Spanish L2 or L3 support available. As remote jobs was so popular, a strong human capital flight start as well. And it is not a secret for anyone that higher remote open a lot of opportunities. Companies start to hire more strong on this area, and most of the experienced engineer start working with international companies. But it also affect companies here, as now it's getting harder to hire tech roles as the market demands for skilled engineers. As market demands for skilled engineers is increasing, but offer is too low to satisfy it. And it's usual to find you comments like this on post jobs. With those skills, you better get a job for a foreign company. You can earn a lot. But it's also common that the adoption for new technology usually starts by someone experiencing experimenting with something he looked at a tech talk, or a cultural disruption usually starts by a small group of people. And that's why the community movement is so important here. Before 2020, the community was growing with every meet there was a number of movements and community sharing about AWS, Azure, Docker, and Google was all over the place, even the Kubernetes meetups. Sadly, during pandemics meeting stops and online events are not that attractive for people I would say. And to be honest, many communities are disappearing or not longer being maintained. A new engineers usually don't know there was or is a movement on their area. So if you're looking at this talk, and you are wondering if there is a CNCF community on your country, please take a look at community.cncf.io, probably you can help the movement or never start a chapter in your city. Being part of the community helps you to know people and can be crucial part of your formation. I would say big part of the cultural and tech adoption in Latin America has been done thanks to the community forums. I can tell this because I was there giving an online online talk about DevOps with Omer as main character at the Kubernetes community at Guatemala. When one of these instance contact me, say that the company he was working just to start with a digital transformation and require help to adopt and automate. There was some stuff already running on cloud, the company has changed his technology director just eight months ago, and the digital transformation was ongoing. They offered me a position to help with the cloud adoption as a DevOps engineer. The opportunity to live my own things project was in front of me. And two months later, I was there about to know how is it to bring DevOps to a software factory in Central America. But honestly, I was more or less like Omer here. So once in the company, I was involved in a lot of meetings they present me at the DevOps. I was going to help teams with new standards, security and cloud adoption, and please add the DevOps if you need help, if you need help deploying to the cloud. Of course, I had the support of the entire team, having in mind that I was in a new role, just created because of a necessity coming from teams. On my first month, I was inviting to knowledge transfer meetings. One of the engineer was leaving the company, so there was a meeting to understand his assignation and application he was involved. I will never forget that when I was presented and the team mentioned that I was there to help with the DevOps adoption, he said, good luck with that. With that don't you know, and it was evident that he was already sourced and looking for a change. As you may think, I had tons of other meetings sitting there with depth to understand the workloads, building containers together and explaining more about what I do and what DevOps pretends. It was clear that most of the new, it had something to do with automation and cloud, but not sure about what else. The development team has decided to go for JavaScript first, and the main development language. This was because of his popularity, number of tools and a good number of developers on the market. The teams for new products was designed to be conformed by a score master, a software architect, a team lead and a team of developers and QA analysts. There was already the problems on cloud, but the stuff does not start right there. The teams was still struggling with the stuff they was getting from the business. As the user story usually looked like this, and the QA team suggest to start using Gherkin for it. The user story start to be well-defined with stories with a set of atomic features and well-defined scenarios. If you're guessing which tools are we adopting, basically our services are done with Node.js. Frontend application will react with code scanned by Sonar, that's done with just Serenity and Podman. Together with the cloud adoption and agile methodologies, the software factory was refactoring the QA process. I learned a lot helping the team to implement QA tools on the pipeline. It requires, of course, a training for the QA engineers to adopt technology as most of them was manual tester, with a low or no technical skills. Deployment into the cloud are no done with Kubernetes and Helm charts. Our on-premise deployments on Linux are no done with Ansible and Podman, just because we want to be cool on. The monitoring on operation is done using Prometheus, Istio, Envoy, Grafana and integrated cloud tools, not into fancy. During the implementation and adoption of new technology, a new elite team emerged and start to help teams with adoption as well. Some of them have never interacted with a Linux terminal before and now they are configuring Nginx, deploying containers and moving around with almost no problem. Documentation was crucial as they are now helping our servers team to get in touch with platform and perform configuration tasks on production environments. We have also started with trainings across the entire organization to help with methodology adoption, explaining the problems we're going to attend, and why DevOps is important. I made my talk about DevOps with a symptom in struggling with the same problem we had at his journey to DevOps, with a strong inception of DevOps equals culture, of course. But with a great power comes great responsibility. We adopt a number of technology and create a number of kind of ownership calls. Now we are considering what we have done and the technology we have with the security teams and make sure it can be certified our tools and products. I cannot share a lot of info about the company, but this is something I can share. The company now moved from 10% of loads on cloud on 2019 to almost 80% of loads on 2020. Time required to develop and test a single feature moved from two weeks to a single day, not just because the process and tech is better, but because the feature definition improved and teams evolved. And here are a couple things we learned. Things need to be done in the right way. Small teams are easier to transform and manage. Digital transformation means team transformation, team transformation requires investment. The transformation must spread across the entire organization and there is no such thing as a silver bullet. And I also have a message for all my folks, for all my folks here that are still guessing if it's possible. Estamos frente a una de las más grandes transformaciones tecnológicas en nuestra región y debes de asegurarte que puedes confiar en ti y en tu equipo. Posiblemente seas tú que en la próxima vez venga aquí y cuentes la historia de ante toda la comunidad. And be prepared because DevSecOps is coming. But we probably can talk about this next time. Thanks.
