This is Kaui Lukas here. Kaui is my mainland every week here at 3 p.m. Last night was the first meeting of the Red Hill Fuel Tank public park and they did a different format last night and some people tongue-in-cheek called it a cocktail hour so let's just say that war fuel and water don't mix. With me to talk about it is one of the newer stars in the Sierra Club constellation, Jody Melinoski, who is the leader of the Oahu group.  Hi Kaui, thanks for having me. So this is an issue that Sierra Club has been amazingly steadfast with. I think this is my fourth show on the Red Hill Fuel Tanks and thank God for Sierra Club. Thanks, I appreciate that. Because you guys are really sounding the alarm in all the right places. So tell us what's new. Well as you mentioned last night there was the public update meeting for Red Hill. This was a meeting that was hosted by the Navy, the Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency and it was a little bit different than the last public meeting that we had in October 2016. It was only this kind of cocktail hour poster board presentation without a formal presentation and group Q&A. So it was a little bit of a different format. I sort of liked the other one where there was a balance of that walk around and talk to the individuals. That was good. I will have some shots of that. But I really missed the more focused, directed and being able to hear other people. Was that sort of the, what did you? Absolutely, kind of disappointing that at a public meeting there wasn't that larger public forum to have that community group share. I think a lot of people have the same questions. So instead of having to go to individuals and talk over other people, it was very noisy last night. Kind of discouraged that kind of group learning and sharing. And my understanding was the Navy said that the reason why they formatted it last night as that sort of cocktail hour for two and a half hours instead of just one was because at the meeting in October 2016 not everybody got a chance to go up and ask their question. But then that makes me wonder why don't we just have more public meetings or allow for a better moderator of those meetings or better, you know, facilitate them so that everybody does have a chance to share because I think it is very valuable for the entire community to hear what other people are thinking in regards to the Red Hill Tang. So for those who aren't really familiar with this issue, I'm Sierra Club, one of your interns made a very nice video. Can you tell us who that was? Caitlin Rogers, she is a university student from the mainland, but she came in January to learn more about the environmental issues here. She was very interested in water, so we gave her a task of creating this wonderful film on Red Hill and we really think she did a great job. Okay, let's have a look at that. Why the water is important to me is because we need to drink water. It's not really rocket science. Aside from that first necessity, I use it to farm. I'm Anthony DeLuz and I'm a mahiay. This place is called Kaonohi. It's an Ili that is a part of a larger Ahupua of Kalawao and it's traditionally was Loikalo and we're keeping it that way. I'm trying to first and foremost restore this Aina in a traditional manner as much as possible. Keep as much of the practice and the production as traditional as possible. Red Hill is an important issue to me because there's tanks that are 200 feet tall sitting on top, one of our most important water resources for the island. A water source that big and important is not something that I'm willing to gamble. While with all the respect and the resource of fuel for our Navy and our Pacific Fleet, one of the largest underground storage facility tanks in the world, it's important that we also be cognizant of our water quality in that area. It's very impressive to see all the steps that they are taking both on technical level as well as a physical level to safeguard the quality of testing that they're doing. The fact that that location is so close to a big chunk of Hawaii's water supply is really a very very serious concern.  I think it's also ridiculous that we're talking about a 20-year plan to figure out where the fuel has moved. We should take as many years as they built it, which is four years, and fix the problem within that time period. I think we should be doing immediate things right now in a huge way. We should be cleaning up right now. Why wait 20 years to find out, you know, if we should clean it up then? Clean it up now. This is an urgent problem and we need people to get involved now to help our public officials recognize their urgency in this issue. The time to get involved is now. The time to get active is right now. I would not be proud to be part of a generation that just kind of turned a blind eye on the most important resource the state has to follow. I know people are very busy and there's a lot of competing interests and it seems overwhelming sometimes to try to get involved in an issue so important as this. The reality is that if we don't get involved now we're going to have much harder problems to deal with in the future. I totally feel you because I'm busy all day every day with a family of three kids and a full-time farming. I know exactly how hard it is but what would be harder is surviving without water. The Sierra Club works hard to make things accessible including testifying and legislation. You can submit testimony any hour of the day in writing and it can be very very simple. Petitions, learning more about the issue, talking to your neighbors. There are a lot of things that you can do to get involved and to help us build a movement for urgent action to protect a lot of the water resources and it doesn't take a lot of time. We have power but if we stay silent we're not going to get anything changed. Without water there's no life really. It'll like over water's life. It makes it pretty clear why we're here talking about that. Really a good one. So you have some news for us that just came out this month. Would you talk about this letter from the EPA? So let's first frame the administrative order and consent which was signed in 2015 and the parties are the EPA, the Department of Health, the US Navy, the Defense Logistics Agency. They are who own the fuel in the tank so it's the four parties. And then the Board of Water Supply and the State of Hawaii are involved but not signatories on this so they're involved. So we've just had four days of meetings of those parties and the one thing that the facilitator guy who I met there, Joe McMahon, who has the thankless task of bringing everybody together, yes let's go Joe, let's make it happen, was he was talking about that there was a problem with data and you have brought a letter that addresses that exactly. Go for it. So the administrative order on consent is the 22-year plan that these four parties have agreed to as how best to manage and plan for the Red Hill tank. There's two, well there's many sections in that but section six and seven in September 2016 the EPA and DOH rejected the Navy's scope of work for section six and seven and what they did is provide interim goals for the Navy to follow and two of those were an existing data summary that was due in March of this year and a data gap analysis report that was due in April and I have this letter from the EPA and the State Department of Health that's dated June 7th 2017 to the Navy basically saying that and I'll read the letter it says the Navy continues to demonstrate insufficient understanding of the expertise and level of effort necessary to develop technical defensible environmental assessment and modeling deliverables required by the AOC and then it continues by saying the Navy does not appear to have the appropriate personnel directing this work. The Navy has spent almost two years on the environmental investigation and modeling aspects of the Red Hill AOC yet little additional information about the environmental conditions in the area has been collected so basically a slap on the wrist thank you guys need to do better step up your work. So I don't know about the conversations you had but the conversations I had and I spent at least 20 minutes talking to a fellow in the Navy who's an attorney but I didn't know he was a Navy attorney I know him from from paddling so we started off on that lovely ground and then sort of as I began to hear oh you know just the explanations that went on and on and on about these little details about following regulations and how we're going to do this and we have this regulation and that regulation and how this is all going to fit together but in looking at the reality of the situation which is that there's a quarter of a billion gallons of fuel over Oahu's aquifer that doesn't really care about the regulations that there's it's not right so the Sierra Club's main points that the AOC is deficient is one it's 22 years which is a long time by the time this plan is done the tanks will be nearly a hundred years old and they are located only a hundred feet over our primary drinking water aquifer also the AOC doesn't guarantee that the tanks are not going to leak again and there have been over 30 documented leaks since the Red Hill fuel tanks have been constructed so it's not unreasonable to assume that there will be other leaks in the future and the AOC does not guarantee that when there is a future leak that we can clean it up and we've seen from the January 2014 leak of 27,000 gallons that it has been extremely difficult to locate the fuel that leaked and clean it up based on the hydrology and the geology and just so much unknowns about Red Hill which begs the question should we have our tanks storing fuel over our water if we can't clean it up and we can't prevent them from leaking in the future well I can't imagine that there is any way that such a thing could be guaranteed um so uh it just seems like an exercise and rhetoric actually talking about it that way so what can what is is the Sierra Club suggesting that that we do as far as there's this elaborate um you know AOC process they have 22 years to come up with a solution but in the meantime we're not seeing anything so what what is what is the Sierra Club saying that we we can do well there they are evaluating the top six options for the tank upgrades that's going to be due in January 2018 but unfortunately none of these tank upgrades guarantee that there's not going to be any leaks the only way to guarantee that there will be no future leaks is to drain the tanks and not not have fuel there so that would be decommissioning the tanks and relocating the fuel yeah so we're we're going to take a break for a minute but come back and dig a little deeper okay we all play a role in keeping our community safe every day we move in and out of each other's busy lives it's easy to take for granted all the little moments that make up our every day some are good others not so much but that's life it's when something doesn't seem quite right that it's time to pay attention because only you know what's not supposed to be in your every day so protect your every day if you see something suspicious say something to local authorities living in this crazy world so far up in the confusion nothing is making sense welcome back to Hawaii is my mainland i'm kawaii lucas and with me today is jolly melanoski from the oahu group of the seara club so um we've been talking about the meeting last night um that was hosted by the navy the epa and the department state of Hawaii department of health and let's see some of those pictures because um it shows that um you had mentioned how loud it was and it was it was it was strikingly loud um it doesn't look i guess it doesn't really look like it from the picture but there were these huge fans above us that made a lot of noise and then um and this fellow here mark um man freddy man freddy who was the recipient of the letter that you just wrote us so he's the he's the guy he is the man um uh it's his job to uh head up this process so he's a 30 year navy guy um but he's been in Hawaii for for 12 years and he's going to stay here he's no longer in the military so i know that's been a problem then there's been change over so um how's the communication um that this year has the seara club had much communication with him yeah uh we during this past legislative session we did have a meeting um it was it was around the red hill bill which was sp 12 59 but we did have probably a three hour meeting with the navy and of course we do show up to the public meetings they keep tabs on what we're doing too so i'm sure they're watching yes i was yes well it's nice to be it's nice to be well known isn't it well the thing is how do we get beyond this how do we begin to get beyond the the the navy sending spies to seara club meetings they should at least come in in drag or something but to to to really change the the the conversation what do you think it's gonna take well we've seen from other areas and other public issues around water that what it really takes is grassroots activism we need to build a community movement to really create the political will and pressure that's necessary to ensure that we protect our groundwater and drinking water so it starts with just getting educated on the issue sharing this information with your neighbors um canvassing around your community joining us in petition signatures and it really can build up from this grassroots level to really um figure out a solution how do how can we speed up this process a little bit quicker and we have to put the pressure we have to get the pot spoiling to really make the change so uh seara club has been actually pounding the pavement right you guys have been getting out there and not just in the red hill area i've seen some of you you guys made some really nice little door hangers that are breaking this it's it's a ridiculously complicated issue in some sense and then it's really simple and others but um i thought you guys did a a good job in in uh winnowing down the information so where did you guys go hanging these doors the first place that we went to was the kalihi neighborhood where we did canvassing with the door hangers we're going to continue to do more so we need lots of help uh feet on the ground doing this we've uh we've been into many of the communities doing community meetings to educate residents about the issue um the aquifer that's underneath red hill serves residents and visitors from wanahlua to huaikai so a large chunk of the island there's a lot that needs to be explored and a lot of education that can be done within those communities okay so that's the overall game plan and you've also taken some concrete um legal maneuvers right didn't you um that you submitted a petition to the department of health like yeah so we're awaiting to hear a response from the department of health i think they have until monday to respond we uh sent them a formal petition uh basically saying that they need to upgrade their underground storage tank rules in 1992 the state legislature directed the department of health to adopt new rules on underground storage tanks by 1998 and the department of health needs to do that so uh we've submitted that formal petition we're waiting to hear their response are they going to make rules are they not going to make rules how long is it going to take etc since 1990 i just have to repeat that since 1998 that was when the rules were supposed to be made by the department of health yes well that was that well well well statue yeah um but it's still on the books so it's still good okay so uh is there um within that so on monday they have until monday to respond to seara clubs petition okay and um and anything so going out into the neighborhoods and letting people know that the navy is serious they are really serious they have put a lot of time and effort and money into this we see that we see that and i keep thinking how can it be worth it it'd be worth it for them but um we have some pictures of their of those uh uh boards that they had um so this is what you were talking about right the tank upgrades so they have these ideas that if you have a different kind of lining it'll be it'll be better um but that's still an awful lot of uh fuel sitting on top of the aquifer and one of the other things um that they had my favorite place i hung out there just because i like the energy was the alternatives did you have a chance to talk with them at all i did see the alternate site requirements i did ask the navy official who was there what are some of the places that they were considering what the timeline is for this report and of course it's all classified so i don't know how seriously they're considering relocating the fuel i think it's an afterthought their priority is maintaining red hill um they say that it's necessary for our national security and right now it doesn't seem like they're willing to give it up i had a chat with a guy who's with the defense logistics agency over there and actually we had a long chat and um uh he was really a technical guy and and um so he had some really interesting things to say uh one that um they're looking both of the fuel that's actually stored there is is a kind of kerosene evidently and um it's mostly used for it's not something you can put in your car so all these ideas like if we get a bombed or something and we can all use the fuel no no we can't um but it can be used to generate energy if the general at the time thinks that oahu that's a good use for it so there's there's this myth that they've been building that the that we need these right but what he said was interesting he said that they're trying to standardize the fuel in a way so that standard jet fuel that everybody uses um could be stored there and then they uh could be stored but wouldn't have to be stored there just could be stored and then they have these special additives he wouldn't tell me how much it was but i thought so even if i don't understand the chemistry to this somebody there is thinking about other ways of doing this that doesn't really have to do with the tanks up there and how can we support that you know um anyway he said that they weren't they were gonna announce in um august hopefully so that was one of those things right hopefully in august who um who gets to go and do the study so maybe we'll find out a little bit more yeah that would be great yeah so in the meantime i happen to um hear that you guys are also um on the eastern side of oahu um for another reason besides spreading awareness about the fuel tanks you want to talk a little bit about that this is something i've been hearing in neighborhood board meaning so talk about the trail trail work that um seara club is doing well the seara club has started kind of as a hiking organization we've been almost 50 years in we do a lot of service projects in hikes um trail access is a main issue i think we're experiencing now there are nine million tourists annually they are having an impact on our trails and so the seara club is looking into ways that we can better maintain our trails better educate our visitors and our hikers so that they know best practices there are several areas of interest i mean haiku stairs the stairways to heaven uh there's mono willy trail there's kuleo oh so there are several trails that we've seen uh increased in visitors and foot traffic in and it's it's a priority of our club to make sure that we can keep those trails open and keep them beautiful and maintain the native vegetation and the plants and the wildlife that are there but those haven't they've been closed uh is the stairway to heaven the stairway to heaven um currently there is a process going on with the board of water supply they own the stairs and uh hopefully we're not going to get them permanently shut down with the the proposal is to maybe remove the stairs and what we want to do is find a way that we can keep it open maybe transferring management of the stairs to a local nonprofit or someone who could better uh regulate how many people are going giving a permanent permitting system something some solution besides tearing down the stairs that would be so wonderful if we could get in place a system for regulating the number of people going i was at a uh kuleo oh uh neighborhood board meeting and i felt so sorry for the people who live at the at the trailhead they said that they get um uh 1300 visitors on on long weekends and that's that's just that's too much i know something that happened in the past as they closed mariners rich which was a trail that was adjacent to kuleo so there has been a lot of people funneling into kuleo trail and we've seen you know increased in in the amount of people who are going but the residents are concerned because they're taking a parking they're maybe trekking through their lawn leaving their old palla making a lot of noise so it's really about just being courteous when you're hiking being safe and well prepared and you know thinking about the residents and how how you're hiking is affecting other people and and hawaii because the main reason well i like to think that people come visit hawaii is just so beautiful and we want to be able to maintain that yes so um in our last two minutes um is there any other project that sierra club is involved in right now that you'd like to let us know about sure um the sierra club oahu group is very active at the city council level uh the sierra club is unique that we are an environmental nonprofit organization but we do focus on a wide variety of issues so climate change clean energy local food water security at red hill waste reduction so we're pretty active at the city council now focusing on several different bills uh that are circulating we recently just got the office of climate change sustainability and resiliency the first ever in the state fully funded so we're pretty excited about that and we're working on that's the the 100 resilient cities correct yes so you're going to be working somebody from the sierra club is going to be working with the office so um they are currently hiring for this office it's going to be five full-time employees um two of those employees one is going to be a energy project manager to work on getting the city to be more energy efficient and ultimately save the city a lot of money right um and uh also a coastal waterways project manager somebody to manage how we're gonna uh deal with our infrastructure in relations to sea level rise so long-term planning such important crucial work we're very happy hopeful that that some meaningful work will be done in this office and really looking forward to working with them well jody thank you so much for um coming to think tech and having a chat with us and getting us up to speed and and mostly thanks for the time you're not in the studio and are out there pounding the trails aloha thank you


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to a new Zor education. Right now we are starting a series of lectures, which I believe is the purpose of the whole course. Solving problems, of course. Well, in this case we will solve a few problems in solid geometry. Problems primarily related to pyramids. Obviously we will have other series of lectures for other aspects of solid geometry, but right now we are talking about pyramids, and we will solve three or four different problems. Obviously I suggest you very strongly to try to solve these problems by yourself. They are all presented on Unizor.com website. That's where the whole course actually is. It's much better actually to go to this website rather than watching from YouTube, because the site has comments and there is certain functionality in the site, which allows you to take exams, etc. Alright, so right now we are talking about a very simple problem. Well, it's as simple as solving a quadratic equation basically. However, what's interesting about this problem is that it's not solved just using absolutely direct method. Like you have a formula, for instance, for a volume of pyramid, and then you just apply this formula and everything goes smoothly. Now, in this particular problem you have to just make one little trick, if you wish. And that's very important actually. I don't really like the problems where you just go with some kind of calculations according to existing algorithms or formulas, etc. Problem must contain something interesting in itself which forces you to think about it. And I think this is an example of a simple problem which, after this little trick is applied, is really simple. Before, if you are attempting to do it a little bit more straightforward, that would be much more difficult. Let's put it this way. Alright, so what's the problem? As follows. You have a triangular pyramid which has an interesting property. Actually, this is a solid line. I see it. Alright, triangular pyramid. S, A, B, C. Now, what's known about this pyramid is the following. First of all, all angles are straight at the top. So, angles A, S, B equals angle B, S, C equals angle C, S, A equals 90 degrees. So, all these are right angles at the apex for every side phase. So, every side phase is at the right triangle where side edges are the cavity of these triangles. So, that's known. Another known thing is that three side edges represent their length actually, represent arithmetic progression. So, we know one of them, A. We don't know this and that, but we do know that they represent an arithmetic progression, which means S, B is equal to A plus X, where X is a difference, and S, C is equal to S, B plus X.  So, that's also known. Now, is that sufficient to basically define our pyramid? Well, not exactly. We have one more condition. We have the volume of the pyramid equals E. So, we know A, we know B, and we know that these angles are right angles. Now, what we have to define, we have to determine actually is all these three edges. Well, we know one of them. So, basically, we have to define, we have to determine the X, the difference in this arithmetic progression by how much this edge is longer than this and this is longer than that. Okay, now, obviously, it would be nice to have some kind of equation relative to X, and the equation probably would be something like, well, if you can express the area of the base, A, B, C, in terms of A and X, which probably is possible. I just don't know how to do it easily, but I'm sure there is a way. You obviously can determine, since you know A and you know A plus X, and this is the right triangle, you know hypotenuse. So, you know hypotenuse, which is A, B, same thing. You have this, same thing. You have A, C. So, you know all three sides of this triangle in terms of A and X, or A plus X and A plus 2X. So, you know this using the theorem, the Pythagorean theorem. Now, since you know three sides, you basically know the triangle, which means you can determine its area that would be the area of the base of this pyramid. You can use the Heron's formula or whatever else. Now, a little bit more difficult would be to determine the altitude of this pyramid. Not impossible, obviously, but a little bit difficult. So, it will be lots and lots of calculations. And I think that it would be so much that you would probably give up, because it's just, you know, too tedious and boring to tell you the truth. We must think about something else, and that's exactly what I meant when I was talking that there is a little trick which would allow you to simplify the problem very, very significantly. So, what's the trick? Well, look, this is a triangular pyramid. Now, in the triangular pyramid, any vertex can serve as an apex of the pyramid, and the opposite face could be a base. In this case, I said that S is an apex and ABC is the base of this pyramid. But let's turn it on one of the sides. Let's say, let's consider ABS as a base and C as an apex. Let me just redraw this pyramid. So, C would be on the top, and then would be going down, would be CS. And from the point S, at the right angle, I have 1 and 2. So, I have A and B. So, this would be my base. In this case, this is invisible. And what's interesting is that this angle is the right angle, this angle is the right angle, and this angle is the right angle. All three angles at this particular vertex are right. Now, what does it buy us? Well, it buys us a lot, because number one, we know that since CS is perpendicular to SB and SA, CS is perpendicular to the ABS, which is the base. So, CS is an altitude. Now, this is A, this is A plus X, and this is A plus 2X. So, we already know that the altitude is very simply expressed in terms of A and X. In this case, altitude would be very complex in terms of A and X. In this case, it's much easier because it's already perpendicular. So, all we needed to do is to turn it on a side. Now, as far as the area of ABS, the area of the base of this pyramid, it's also simple because it's the right triangle with two characters A and A plus X, which means the area of the base is equal to A times A plus X divided by two. And altitude is equal to A plus 2X. So, very easy. Volume V, this one, is equal to one-third of the area of the altitude, A A plus X divided by two, and A plus 2X. And this is an equation for X, and this is a quadratic equation, obviously. So, all we have to do is just to solve the quadratic equation. And that would give us S, X, and knowing X, we know all these sides, because one is A, another is A plus X, and another is A plus 2X. So, let's just solve this quadratic equation and that will be the end of it. It's much simpler than to fight the original pyramid. I mean, it's still a regional pyramid, but consider it slightly differently because in triangular pyramid case, any apex can be... any vertex can be an apex and any face can be a base. All right, so let's just solve this quadratic equation. This is a plain exercise. All I have to do is make it right. Equals. So, 6 goes to D, right? So, here I have this, but every one of them is multiplied by A. So, X squared would be what? 2X squared and A. So, it's 2AX squared. Now, X would be AX and 2AX. So, it's 3AX and A. So, it's 3A squared X. And finally, the free one would be A squared and A. So, it's A cubed. So, that's my quadratic equation. I will do this way. I will put minus 6V equals to 0. All right? That's a canonical form of quadratic equation. So, solution to this R. In the denominator, I have double first coefficient, which is 4A. Now, here I have minus the second coefficient minus 3A squared plus minus square root of square of this, which is 9A to the fourth, minus 4 times this and this. 4 times this is 8A to the fourth. And this is 8A6 plus. So, it's 4G8A. All right, X equals. First of all, forget about this minus, because we are talking about the lengths. Excuse me. We are talking about the lengths of the side. And so, it should be positive. With 2 minuses, it will be negative. I mean, it's not the lengths, actually. It's the difference between the lengths. We have basically set the smallest one as A, and then A plus X and A plus 2X. So, we are assuming that X is positive. All right? So, the solution would be for A minus 3A squared plus square root of 9 minus 8A to the fourth plus 48AV. Okay, that's the solution for X, which means that we have determined all the side edges. This was given to us as B was equal to A plus X, which is A plus this expression.  So, that's the solution. That's the end of it. We have determined all three sides. So, what I suggest to you right now is to go to the notes of this lecture, read again the problem. Well, it has an answer, by the way. This formula is an answer. And try to do it just by yourself. Turn it on the side, draw a picture, and just write down this is the base and this is the area of the base. This is an altitude. That's its value. And then the value is equal to, etc. So, I do suggest you to do it yourself. Very helpful exercise. Well, that's it. Thank you very much and good luck.

What should you be eating before, during and after your ride to maximize your performance and recovery? Today I'll be jumping into the science to answer this question and I'll also touch on some additional nutritional considerations. Like should you be drinking beet juice? Does caffeine improve your performance and how much do you need? And will antioxidants improve your recovery or undermine your adaptation? So be sure to stick around for that. Welcome to another video. My name is Dylan and I'm a cycling coach at CTS and for weekly training, racing and gear related videos be sure to subscribe. And if you have a training question or a topic you'd like to see me cover in a future video be sure to leave it down in the comments section below. I do my best to get to all the questions in the comments. This video is sort of a part two to my everything you need to know to become a faster cyclist video. In that video, I reviewed my best training tips from the past year. That video was all about training but the next biggest component is your nutrition. So in this video I'll be covering my best nutrition advice from the past year as well as covering quite a bit of new stuff. Let's start things off by taking a look at what the science has to say about what your pre-ride nutrition should look like. In this review on endurance athlete nutrition they recommend one to four grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight in the one to four hours before a race to top off glycogen stores. This recommendation was echoed in this review on fueling the triathlete. They go on to say that athletes should consume smaller portions of solid food closer to the event and larger portions when more time is available for digestion. Likewise, foods that are carbohydrate rich but low in fiber or residue, low in fat and low to moderate in protein may be better tolerated pre-competition due to the more rapid gastric emptying. You want your pre-race or ride meal to be consumed one to four hours before the start. The closer to the start you are the smaller the meal will have to be so keep this in mind for an early morning start.  This may take some experimentation to find out what works best for you. You should eat enough at this meal to be satisfied but not enough to be full. You don't wanna be showing up at the starting line with a full stomach but you also don't wanna be hungry. This meal should also consist primarily of easy to digest carbohydrates. You're gonna see a theme throughout this video and it's carbs, carbs and more carbs. Despite the bad rap that carbohydrates have gotten from fad diet books and your gym bro friend who's trying to look shredded for the summer they are your fuel source as an endurance athlete and have a huge impact on your performance. Let's talk a little bit about carbohydrate loading. You may have heard that eating more carbohydrates in the days leading up to an event can lead to better performance and this is true at least for longer events. Going back to the review on endurance athlete nutrition for events lasting greater than 90 minutes glycogen supercompensation or carboloading in the preceding 36 to 48 hours may help improve performance by two to 3% and it doesn't appear that carb restriction or intense exercise is necessary before carb loading like was previously thought. Proper carbohydrate loading requires consuming more carbohydrates than you might realize. The recommendation is 10 to 12 grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per day. For your average 70 kilogram rider this ends up being around 3000 calories worth of carbohydrates a day. However, as an endurance athlete you probably already consume 3000 to 4000 calories or more a day. So if you make sure that most of that is coming from carbohydrates in the day or two before a long event that should be enough. Before we move on let's talk about beetroot juice which has been made popular in the endurance world because of its performance enhancing properties. If it does work then it needs to be part of your pre-ride nutrition strategy not during. This study on dietary nitrate supplementation on time trial performance tested beetroot juice versus nitrate depleted beetroot juice nitrates being the organic aid two and a half hours before a cycling time trial. They found that TT performance improved by 2.7% in the beetroot juice group. This systematic review looking at many studies on beetroot juice and endurance performance came to a similar conclusion finding that beetroot juice may have ergogenic effects. Interestingly these benefits may not apply to highly trained or elite endurance athletes though. So if you're gonna give beet juice a try what are the recommendations on when and how much of it you should consume? Intake of beetroot juice should be initiated within 90 minutes before athletic effort since the peak value of nitrates occurs within two to three hours after ingestion. At least six to eight millimoles of nitrate intake is required which can be increased in athletes with a high level of training. It's also important to know that the effects of beetroot juice may be mitigated when taking it with caffeine. This is where things get a little tricky because caffeine is a performance enhancer as well as we'll get into in a minute and if beet juice already has little effect on you because you're well trained then I wouldn't hold off on caffeine to see a bump from beets. Although this certainly isn't a reason not to try beet juice because trying it certainly couldn't hurt. Also keep in mind that beets aren't the only source of nitrates in your diet. Many leafy greens also have high levels of nitrates and actually the highest levels come from arugula. Hey man, peeing red is normal right? After drinking beet juice? Yeah it turns to your urine red. Nah man I don't drink beet juice that stuff's disgusting. I'm just talking about in general my pee's been red lately. Maybe it's from all the hypergain bees mode products. All right let's move on to what your nutrition should look like on the bike. This is a tricky one because everyone has different fueling needs. A study on marathon fueling techniques stated that regardless of what research demonstrates or how complex a formula may be each athlete must be treated as unique and endless lists of factors all affect fueling needs. Unfortunately no clean clear universal formula exists to calculate such precise expenditure. Some people need more calories than others some can only handle liquid nutrition while others would do better with solid food and others develop gut issues when they're riding or racing. All of these factors means you can't make a one size fits all nutrition recommendation that'll work for everyone and you're gonna have to do some experimenting to see what works for you. With that being said there is some science on optimal carbon take and that's a good place to start. Again your source of fuel as an endurance athlete especially while you're actually riding is carbohydrates but exactly how much carbohydrates you need. This review article and carbohydrate intake during exercise performance found that one gram per minute or 60 grams per hour is the limit of how much fast carbs can be absorbed even when large amounts of carbohydrates are ingested. So it sounds like you want 60 grams per hour right? Well not so fast because there is a way of increasing the absorption rate. If you're doing a long rider race and running out of glycogen or bonking could potentially be an issue. Combining different carbohydrate sources such as glucose and fructose have been shown to increase carbohydrate oxidation rates by 20 to 50% because fructose can utilize a different transport pathway. This review confirmed these findings stating that a two to one multidextrin to fructose ratio appears to be optimal and benefits endurance performance. If you combine 60 grams of multidextrin with 30 grams of fructose then you could potentially bump that absorption rate from 60 grams per hour to 90 grams per hour. This isn't so important if you do shorter events like under two or three hours where 60 grams per hour or even 30 grams per hour is fine. But if you do ultra endurance events then you may want over 60 grams per hour and this becomes important. Make sure that your drink mix or other fuel sources have a two to one multidextrin to fructose ratio. You wanna practice your nutrition strategy and training not only because you wanna make sure that it works well for you but also because you wanna train your gut to better tolerate high loads of carbohydrates. From this article on training the gut for athletes it is clear that nutritional training can improve gastric emptying and absorption and likely reduce the chances and or severity of GI problems thereby improving endurance performance as well as providing a better experience for the athlete. Again, you can do this by practicing your nutrition strategy on the bike but also by regularly consuming a high carbohydrate diet. Another important consideration for on the bike nutrition is caffeine consumption. Does caffeine improve your performance and if so how much do you need? This study tested cyclist one minute max power output after consuming five milligrams per kilogram body weight of caffeine or a placebo. The caffeine ingestion resulted in a 45 watt increase in power over the placebo. The caffeine group actually showed a lower rate of perceived exertion and a higher blood lactate leading to the conclusion that caffeine's beneficial effects may be in lowering RPE. These findings were backed up by a meta-analysis of 40 double-blind studies looking at caffeine ingestion. They concluded that caffeine was beneficial showing a 12.3% increase in test outcomes but especially for endurance performance over high intensity. So caffeine will improve your performance and it should be part of your race nutrition strategy but remember that more isn't necessarily better. Research shows that the benefits of caffeine taper off around three milligrams per kilogram of body weight making sure that your gels or drink mix have caffeine in them and that they add up to that three milligram per kilogram body weight upper limit should be sufficient. Let's now move on to your post ride nutrition which can have a big impact on your recovery. Remember that the quicker you get in food after a ride, the better. From this article on glycogen resynthesis after exercise they stated that to maximize glycogen resynthesis carbohydrates should be consumed immediately after exercise and if you wait two hours the rate of glycogen resynthesis is reduced by 50%. Once you get the timing down the question then becomes what should this meal consist of? The answer again is carbohydrates. In this study on carbohydrate and protein intake they had three groups. One that consumed carbs and protein. One that consumed the same amount of carbs as the first group but without protein and one that consumed just carbs but matched the calories of the first group. Following recovery subjects ran to exhaustion at 70% of maximal oxygen uptake and here's what they found. Carbs plus protein performed better than the same amount of carbs without protein. However, when they equalized the calories the carb only mixture actually performed the best. The study concluded that the inclusion of protein in the solution was no more beneficial than when ingesting a more concentrated carbohydrate solution of equivalent energy content and further research confirms these findings. This doesn't mean that protein doesn't have its place it certainly does and athletes need more protein than the general population. However, when you get back from a ride your focus should be on carbohydrates not protein and you certainly shouldn't be reaching for a protein only supplement. A systematic review on the effects of protein supplements for recovery found that high quality and consistent data demonstrated there is no apparent relationship between recovery of muscle function and ratings of muscle soreness and surrogate markers of muscle damage when protein supplements are consumed prior to during or after a bout of endurance or resistance exercise. And in fact it may be better in general to stick with whole foods instead of supplements anyway. From this paper on basic recovery aids eating whole foods seems to be as beneficial as consuming specifically engineered recovery foods or beverages. Many of the commercial calorie replacement products are quite expensive and are not any better than whole foods. Additionally they are typically dense in macronutrients but poor in micronutrients. And these micronutrients found in whole foods aren't just good for your health but may further assist with recovery as well. Studies looking at tomato juice, lemon, cherry juice, blueberries and more have found that the antioxidants in these foods reduce cellular oxidative damage without blocking the cellular adaptive response leading to aided recovery. The key there was without blocking the cellular adaptive response. Large doses of supplemental antioxidants may have this very effect. For example in this review on vitamin C supplements effects on performance the authors found that vitamin C supplements actually impaired performance in three human studies. The authors went on to say that large doses of vitamin C appear to reduce the training induced adaptation. Scary stuff for sure but if you get your antioxidants from whole foods you avoid this problem. At the end of the day the general take home that you should get from this video is that you wanna fuel yourself with carbohydrates before, during and after your rides. The general rule is an easily digestible mostly carb meal one to four hours before. Carbs intermittently during anywhere from 30 grams to 90 grams depending on how demanding and how long the ride is. And then a high antioxidant high carb meal as soon as you get back. There are exceptions to this rule like with fasted training where you may choose to ride in a low carbohydrate state in order to improve your body's ability to use fat as a fuel source which will preserve your glycogen stores for long races. However, you would wanna do these rides on low intensity days. High intensity days and races need to be done in a carb fed state in order to maximize performance. I do wanna make one announcement before I end the video. I've gotten a ton of requests from you guys to start making training plans, so here they are. I've just opened up a store on training peaks with plans and I do plan on adding to the store so I'm open to suggestions. If you don't see something on there that fits your needs let me know and I can work on it. Also now through the end of December if you use the code YouTube you can save 15% on any of the training plans in the store. Hey man, you're gonna let me write some of these training plans, right? Yeah, sure, whatever. Thanks for watching. I hope you guys found this information helpful and if you like this video be sure to give it a like, share it with a friend and subscribe and if you wanna be notified every time I put out a video be sure to hit the notification bell as well.


The major reason why we wanted to get on board was to help reduce our carbon footprint and reduce vehicle emissions as well as some benefits such as cost savings on maintenance and downtime on the vehicles. We've got plans in place for eight charging locations around the state, two here at SLC. We'll have two at headquarters and then there'll be one at Dandenong, one at Ballarat, one at Seymour, one at Bendigo and one at Geelong. The regions have all got their vehicles however they haven't got the infrastructure put in just yet. We're hoping this is going to be completed over the next few months. For those who haven't driven an EV vehicle you get instant talk so it's very zippy. The charging process is fairly quick. The ones we've got currently are the AC Chargers. You're looking at probably an eight to ten hour charging time to get this from say zero percent to a hundred. You've got roughly four hundred and forty kilometres of range in this. If you go and plug it into a home power point with your emergency charging cable in the back you're probably looking at a day, maybe a day and a half to get a full charge. There are also some DC charging stations around the state at various public locations. There you will get a very quick charge, something like one to two hours will give you a full charge. It's an exciting time I guess. We're getting a lot more coming through and the costs of these vehicles are becoming cheaper and cheaper. The batteries are becoming better and better and I think over time we'll see quite a number of vehicles start coming through that are really beneficial for CFA.


Okay, let's get started. Welcome to everyone for this presentation on NFV resource management. And the collaboration we are doing with the Blazor project and the Promise project. Let me first introduce my two co-presenters. So we have Tariq Khan. He's an architect for the HPE's NFV architecture. And we have Masahita Muroisan. He's a software engineer working for entities public and private cloud solutions. And my name is Gerard Kunzman. I'm working for entity Dokomo, the lab or tourist in Europe in Munich. And I'll guide you through the first part of the presentation and then I will hand over to my colleagues. So what we are going to see in this presentation is first I'll describe the problem. Why do we need resource reservations? Then we will also introduce to you the two projects. The one is the OpenStack project Blazor and the other one is an OpenFV project called Promise. After this we will mention some possible solutions, how we think we could address the problem. This is still work in progress and also we can have some discussion on how we plan to solve these issues. And we will also then show what is the current status of the work we are doing and what will be our next steps. So the first question is why do we need resource reservation? So we have a private cloud or a managed cloud and there we don't want to over provisioning our resources. So we will always have to deal with a finite amount of resources but the demands can be infinite. And we have several users to this cloud so there might be concurrent access and resource integrity is very important. Elasticity is very important capability and also different requests may have different priorities. So some of the core services in our network we need to guarantee that they are always running but there might be some other computation and processes which have lower priorities. And then also for us it's not enough to just reserve a certain quota like 10 virtual machines but we need for the telecom VNFs for the services they may require very specific capabilities. So it's also very important that we are able to reserve specific characteristics of the resources. For other use cases and user stories I'd also like to go to this development proposal in the OpenSec product team. Here we have listed a lot of requirements and use cases around resource reservation. Okay. I'm handing over to Tariq now. Thank you, Geralt. Before I go into the use cases or the problem statement did any of you get a chance to attend the session right before this one on the first floor? You did. So you don't need to be in this session. So over here we are going to talk a little bit about the basics of reservation and why reservations are required and to give a couple examples of some use cases that we have used to drive. They came from the Promise Project and they're driving the development of the Blazer project. Now of course outside of these examples I thought, you know, of course we are city, almost everyone's traveling staying in a hotel so we can also talk a little bit about analogies of hotel reservations which are very applicable to what we are trying to do over here. So in this one one of the things is around the flexible usage. And as Geralt said, for private cloud, you know, no matter what we say, there's always limited capacity and we want to be able to use it. And while it's important for almost all use cases for the telco or NFV use case, this is exposing the need for reservation a little bit before things are coming from other places. Indeed this session this morning was from a proposal from Scientific Working Group that's also making a case for why something like this is required. So in this case what we are talking about is if there's a consumer who's going to use a service and in this case we just said watching TV and understand that live stream doesn't necessarily require instantiation of a lot of infrastructure but in case, you know, if you take it that you need to require, you want to be able to provide some service APIs and these service APIs are going to reserve some component and the reason the reservation is required is that at this point we don't want the end user experience to be that we tried to do it and the thing failed. And then you need to have an external entity orchestrator or something, go ahead and redo it. And it becomes a lot more important if the service chain has multiple components in it which is to say that it has multiple VMs or multiple things that need to be deployed. If the last one fails then service chain is not complete and we have problems of the user experience. So in this case we want to be able to have a service API to when it's invoked using appropriate and my colleagues are going to talk about it appropriate IDs then you want to be able to get access to it. And in the same thing the other use case is that what if the same user half-fit through it decides to record it and the recording means that now some resources were already being used, now we want to assign some additional resources and we may have some adjacency requirement for these resources so we want this not to fail as well. This is very similar to a group of folks coming to OpenStack Summit and wanting to stay at the same hotel. If you were a single person, you may, I don't think anyone does it, you may go and knock at the door of every hotel, do you have room? Or you may reserve and then at the time of reservation the hotel has not assigned your room but they had made sure there's capacity available and you have made your preferences known and they'll try to make sure that those preferences are met. So kind of recapping what we just talked about, it's around flexible usage where you're able to put in your requirements both for immediate should you want to but more important for future use. And this will allow the operator of the environment to come up with innovative ways of perhaps not charging or have a very small fee of reservation but you pay the full price when you're actually using the resources. Another statement is especially, again, more specific to NFV but applicable to other use cases as well, that if you want to be able to assign some or reserve some resources then there may be a need of resourcing of reserving very different types of resources. And in this case we're saying that if your employees, you know, they at a minimum, you know, most of the employees in an organization they require some kind of backup mechanism and they'll require some kind of remote connectivity or VPN access. So your existing employees may have a backup for a service chain along with some VPN service chain and you may have a situation where perhaps different business groups have different requirements. So it's coming from one resource pool and IP addressing, you want to be able to keep it contiguous. So you may do it but you may want to ensure that other employees that come in, they also are provided resources from the same pools. And if you don't have a mechanism of providing this level of reservation then the new employees in the same groups may not be able to get backup resources assigned in the same backup pool or the IP addresses assigned from the same IP address pool. Another option that comes in is where you may have, and again my hotel analogy, that you may have rooms that have different characteristics and those characteristics may be, you know, a nice view of the parking garage behind you or maybe looking down at Boston Commons. So you may, for some reasons, you may want the Boston Commons view or you may want, you know, two rooms that are adjacent to yourself. So in this case, we're just trying to say that if you have different, you have resource pools or compute nodes that expose different capabilities and they may be, you know, some providing better storage, some providing better connectivity then you want to be able to, when you're making the reservation be able to request appropriate resources. And again, we're all talking about using it through APIs and the last one comes into, since we're adding this time factor in the system, reservation system, now we have a little bit richer information that we are able to potentially collect. Now we are making reservations and which is very important information to be able to use for capacity. And this is very important information to be able to use for capacity management and some other management scenarios. So you want to be able to use this time information making the reservations and the reality of it, how people are able to, are using whatever has been used. So it provides a much richer set of primitives that can be used by capacity management system. It's a little bit more richer information on what is it that people thought they're going to use and what is it they're actually using. And then coming down to the same level of information can be made available for data analytics engines and of course providing a group that lets people have a view of how their reservations or what their reserve resources against the utilized resources are. And with that, I'm going to hand it over to Masahid to start. I think I'll take that part. So several years ago when we started to look into virtual network functions, this problem came up that reservation seems to be an important feature. So we tried to find some supporters or some community so that we can work on this issue and try to find a solution for it. So one of the activities we started was in OP NFV. We initiated the promise project. So this project is exactly addressing these two aspects that Tariq just mentioned. So on the one hand we need to have these reservations. On the other hand also we need to be able to manage the available resources in the future. What did we do in this project? So we started, first we started writing down the reservations from NFV perspective that we have for resource or reservation. So it's very important that we can do reservations for future usage, but also for some use cases it might be good if we can do reservations for immediate usage. Imagine for example you have a very complicated service that you want to set up and this requires allocation of many different types of resources with specific characteristics. And if you start doing this now sequentially and you like after the third or fourth step you run into a failure then you need to roll back and start everything again. If you have a reservation you can kind of test already whether the resources that you need and the combination of the resources is available or not. Also what is very important for us is we are supporting the ACNFV specifications and also this is why we need to have a solution which is very well aligned with this one. The OP NFV promise project at the moment we are having bi-weekly telcos so if you're interested in this topic I invite you to join one of our telcos where we can discuss also in more detail about this topic and all the information about the promise project just go to the week page in OP NFV and you can find the meeting dates, the emailing list and so on. So then also in OP NFV we cannot do the work standalone but we need also some upstream project where the code will be hosted for example and here we identified the OpenStack Blazor project which is the reservation as a service project in OpenStack. This has been already started a couple of years ago but then it was kind of stalled for one and a half years and now just recently a small group of different vendors and operators have revived this project and we have a lot of sessions also during this forum around the Blazor project. So in the Blazor project the target is we can lease or reserve some resources in the cloud environment for a specific amount of time either immediately or in the future and these resources can either be virtual resources like instances, volumes or networks but it can also be hardware resources so you can also reserve a full host with a specific characteristic. Some of you may know this project it was formally labeled climate but it was then the name was changed to Blazor and also here we have weekly meetings this time IRC meetings so if you're interested in this activity just join one of our IRC meetings also the URL is given here so you can find all related information about the project here and with this I want to give over to Masahito he will explain the potential solutions that we have to address the resource and reservation as part of the Blazor project. Hi, thanks Gerard. I'm Masahito I'm working for Blazor project so in my part I want to show you how the Blazor project solves each problem in that each use case is shown by Tariq. So for the flexible usage scenario we can use the basic feature of Blazor the Blazor defines the leases as top-level resource types in its API and one leases has multiple reservations and one reservation has its reservation ID so users create leases and reservations with Blazor API and then the user create their open-source resources related to the reservation with its ID so back to the streaming live streaming TV scenario this is how Blazor work in this scenario first customer switch on device to live stream TV and then service API try to reserve our computer resources as many as resources they will use in that streaming then Blazor try to reserve and then if the Blazor can reserve the resources it means that the service API can create their resources in this infrastructure for the future recording request the station is quite similar to that streaming scenario first customer try to record future event and then service APIs try to ensure the resources they will use in that request then if Blazor can create their reservation for that request the recording event will can create their computer resources for the recording event for the next heterogeneous resource reservation the use case is quite similar to the flexible uses so in this use case is Blazor will reserve storage resources and network resources as well as computer resources like VM or containers so when customer create their backup resources in their crowd the Blazor try to reserve the resources for new employees as well as the current employees so after the new employees coming in their division they can will use these reserve resources in same infrastructure in that with the old employees and then next for resource negotiation Blazor will work like resource endpoints to identify best case deployment scenario so I will show you the scenario so when customer try to create service change with specific characteristics for the VNF Blazor ask all data centers that they can accommodate the request in their crowd it mean that they try to create reservation is equal to asking that the center can create the reservation and then some data center will response the request then if the data center can create the reservation it mean that Blazor will offer the user the reservation that reservation has enough amount of resources to the request from the customer and finally Blazor project will give us some good information for the resource manageability for the capacity management, metering, analytics and for DUI so first for the capacity management Blazor will give administrator the information about the usage and availability in the future of resources so the administrator can think how many resources we will use in the future and for metering Blazor relate utilization information to metering service like Cereometer, Monaska and your own metering service and for data analytics engine Blazor will give the information to the engine about the pattern of request to how the user want to use their resources and then the engine can calculate the data can analysis any data of the usage and so on and of course the Blazor project will provide some DUI based on fly zone so all administrator can handle the information the DUI as well as the CLI and API and in my last part I want to show the current status and the next steps of Blazor project First, the latest Blazor project release is Okata release number 020 The Blazor project is a little different from other project because the project was inactive between Kilo to Newton release so we focused on reviving the Blazor project in Okata release such as using the author library instead of their own library and using Keystone with the API instead of with the API and of course we updated some documentation following the changes for Pyek Release we will be numbered 00 we are focusing on some improvement of reservation for computer resources the main feature in Pyek Release is new instance reservation because the other instance reservation in Blazor project was deprecated because the old instance reservation super relies on the Nova V2 API extension that was already deprecated and removed from Nova project and then another features are roughly categorized for improving the operability of Blazor API such as improving the updating or reservation by API and so on and in Blazor project in addition to the technical site we are planning we are thinking of improving the community site of features because like a currently Blazor project sorry the contributor of Blazor project is only from NLV areas and scientific areas so of course we have some use cases but we are welcome to people that people who are from different areas because we need more use cases and more requests for the reservation so if you have any requests to the reservation please join us and we are super welcome to them yeah thanks a lot so yeah I think this is very crucial so at the moment as you see we just started to adding some new functionalities and features to Blazor and we're still in the process of shaping how we do this so we need your input we need your feedback we need your use cases so that we go in the right direction I want to avoid that we go to a dead end we have a solution which is only for solving some of the problems on the short term but it's very important also that this is a solution that on the long run will be beneficial to not just NLV but also other communities so I'd really like to encourage you to go to the Blazor page check out the Blueprint specs that we're currently drafting give you feedback maybe join our weekly RC meetings and increasing the participation of the community is very important here and I think we were quite fast also with our presentation so we have some time for Q&A so do you have any questions around our use cases that we presented of course these were simplified scenarios do you have any questions on the specific projects often with promise or Blazor please come to the mics and raise your questions couple of questions I didn't quite get what is your unit of reservation in our case if you want to do reservations I want to be able to say maybe I want to reserve this 10 VNF and the VNF is a construct of many things together is your unit to have to ask you to reserve this many cores as many much memory storage or you have something different how do you express the reservation so we have different granularities in mind so on the one hand if you know you want to you need to start a VNF then you know the VNF needs certain underlying infrastructure resources so maybe you say okay I need like five cores but NUMA should be enabled and all should be like in the same data center so such features you would give in the reservation but how are you expressing that because in my case let's say I have a heat stack that expresses that the need that maybe I have a flavor identified a host aggregate that will have the right CPU pinning NUMA boundaries whatever it needs do I have to go and extrapolate all that out of the heat stacks and then express it in a different way to blazer or is there a thought of maybe you can extrapolate it yourself if I give you a heat stack eitherly this should be possible that if you have a flavor already this should be possible you can reserve this particular flavor but do you see what I'm getting at because the heat stacks could have seven handed resource types in some cases there's a lot of things to satisfy that need if I want to reserve that I don't want to have to go to the trouble of taking all that as a separate element of data yeah and the blazer first of all, the blazer doesn't take over the heat stacks I'm talking about maybe being a source of an input and then you can extrapolate what the resources are from there you don't have to execute the stack you can understand the jammal and pull the requirements of that stack as opposed to asking the user to extrapolate all that and now it's another item of work if you will another task of managing the VNF now to be able to gather a little bit of just an idea the other question I had is how do you deal with failure scenarios when you reserve something and again it dealt with placement and all that and something goes wrong and you lose some hosts or something and you have the reservation but you can't satisfy it anymore because you lost the capacity in that target stack yeah good questions I think the question was is under the discussion in blazer team how we handle the failure in the computer resources or other resources we are discussing now about how it depends on the user or blazer or cloud service provider it's like if you are the public cloud user sorry cloud public service provider the you could have some priorities through the instances or storage or something then the the role priorities will be removed from the reservation or something on the other hand in the NFV side the sum of the use case will be different usually different so the simple answer is it's under the discussion now for sure you need some notifications to the user I like this comparison also to the hotel reservation of course there could be a fire in one of the rooms and you have full house and you need to cancel one of the requests then maybe you have some VIP customers who are frequently visiting your hotel so you don't want to throw them out of the reservation system but someone else maybe and the third question you talked about blazer managing multiple clouds maybe I misunderstood but how is that working in blazer if you're you have many, in our case we have hundreds of regions and we moved away from a centralized keystone so every region has their own keystone in that model how would blazer work is it independent per region how do you know about multiple regions are you living above the regions are you living somewhere else in current implementation blazer only on top of one of one region so multiple region is also under the discussion and it's depend on the design it's depend on the architecture of users like you are using keystone in each regions but some users will use the keystone for all of their regions so of course we I think if there is any use case or request we should not blazer project should support multi regions is it answer for your question yeah I think multi regions something you support alright thank you hi folks it was a nice presentation thank you and the gentleman already asked most of the question I had but I have one additional question I do understand how you do the resources but my question is how you going to release them I mean like if you going to use the external cloud for your resources from the pricing perspective is almost same as it so just blazer manage the resource I mean release I mean releasing the resource it mean that which component will be in charge of deleting or creating resources is it for example like at first step you say like you need 100 VMs you might say okay I'm going to use 50 of them and another 50 I'm not going to use so you don't have to pay for the rest of the VMs then you can release those resources right I think it's depend on the sorry I usually say depend on your station but I think it's depend on the service provider the strategy the the the thing or something like that so if your crowd want to want to audit or check the number of your reservation the changing of the number of instances is matter you should change your reservation okay so it's not manage in the blazer yes I would say this is out of scope of blazer so there can be some policies how you need to pay for the reservation and for the actual usage and I think this is not part of the scope of blazer approach but in your specific use case you're not going to have a reservation you're not going to have a reservation but you're only using 50 right now and 50 maybe you'll use 6 months down the line because they're the time factor that's been added now so you'll reserve perhaps from a specific time now if there's another reservation request that comes in which you'll only use from the actual advantage and completely agree from the point of view how you monetize it how you do it outside closer there are two features of blazer that will be related one is the update of the reservation similar to the hotel reservation if your company wants to come to the summit and you plan for 100 colleagues then like one month before you realize okay the budget is not there but you'll have the reservation or half the reservation size the other one what we also think about and this is also part of the ATC NFE specification is kind of a no show so if you say my reservation should start from tomorrow noon and then within 24 hours you are not actually using the resources then for example also these resources can be freed for other users so nobody's on the mic so I may take the opportunity to ask another question just blaze API support some kind of bulk reservation I think gentlemen also ask similar kind of question can blaze API get input from the YAML file or something like I want 100 computer nodes and this kind of network and this kind of volumes attached to them such kind of features supported we'll support it okay great thank you so this is what we call a lease which can have several reservations inside so you can have the lease kind of is a bulk thank you okay we would have time for one more question I think people are satisfied thanks for your participation in our presentation and if you check the forum schedule you will see there are a few upcoming sessions on reservations or related to reservations so I'd welcome you to also join those discussions thanks a lot


how to make the narcissist regret leaving you. The narcissist never really moves on. They go from one supply to the next supply but they are always watching what you are doing always watching to see if you can rebuild your life after they have destroyed it or if you can put yourself in a better position. They always want to be with a person who is the most successful the most physically attractive the person who has the most power to direct people's behavior and the course of events that is the kind of person that they want to be around. When the narcissist first met you you might have had a lot of power you might have had the ability to make things happen you might have been very physically attractive but as the narcissist began to drain you of your resources that is when you began to lose your power when they started abusing you stressing you out making you feel anxious or depressed that is when you began to lose your looks you might have gained weight or lost weight you started feeling tired all the time as though you don't feel like doing anything at this point you're no good for anyone not just a narcissist although narcissists can never be satisfied once the narcissist has drained you of your energy and resources and beaten you down to the point where you don't look good anymore now you are no good for anyone and the narcissist wants to be around someone who everyone else desires someone who everyone else wants the narcissist used you up of everything that you had to offer and then left you to yourself because you are no longer of any use to them if you want to make the narcissist regret losing you you need to rebuild forget about the narcissist for now don't initiate any contact with them and don't respond to any hoover attempts focus on rebuilding your life heal your childhood traumas improve your mental and emotional health exercise drink plenty of water improve your diet exfoliate your skin moisturize get your hair and nails done buy some new clothes but when you are doing all of this it has to be for yourself your focus needs to be on yourself rather than the narcissist if you are doing all of this to impress them or to try to get them back it is going to come off as though you're being desperate as though you're doing whatever you can to get them back you need to be doing all of this for you because you value yourself you love yourself not because you care about what someone else thinks when you really value yourself it's natural for you to take care of your mental emotional and physical health because you regard yourself as being something of importance worth or usefulness you recognize your own value and everything that you have to offer so it's only natural that you are going to want to take care of this valuable body mind and soul which you possess once you have rebuilt your life and you have upgraded your mental emotional and physical health you might be ready to start dating again but now that you have rebuilt your life and upgraded yourself you can't just go back to the narcissist even though the narcissist might want you back you need to be someone who is at your you need to be with someone who is at your level someone who is also taking the time to upgrade themselves you are worthy and deserving of being with someone who is better greater than the narcissist and if you have rebuilt your life and upgraded yourself you are going to have no problem finding someone who is who is far better far greater than the narcissist someone who you can then build with and enjoy a fun exciting life with without the narcissist narcissists are very superficial they only care about things that exist or occur on the surface rather than anything of any real purpose or meaning they act as though the world revolves around them as though they are the most significant and important thing in the world they trick you into seeing the world as being such a small place and as though there is no one else for you to find or no one else that would want you there is nowhere else for you to go and nothing else for you to do this is how they trick you into seeing the world but now you need to start seeing the world with a mindset of abundance as though there is plenty to go around because there is plenty to go around and you can have it all you don't need the narcissist you can find the peace love and joy that you always wanted without the narcissist and without any of their efforts even if they have drained the life out of you and used up all of your resources it all starts by working on your mental emotional and physical health and then rebuilding your life without them when the narcissist has to witness your improved health and how you have rebuilt your life when they have to witness your happiness and how you have moved on with someone who is far better far greater that they could ever be that is when they begin to suffer that is when they begin to realize that they had made a big mistake that is when they begin to regret losing you thank you for watching i hope this video resonated with you please like comment share and subscribe click the bell icon to receive notifications for my future videos if you would like to donate my paypal link is in the video description coaching inquiries you can email me at narksforthercoaching at gmail.com thank you for watching and i'll talk to you soon


Number three we have the captions app on the iPhone which is one of my favorite apps and it actually uses AI to caption your videos. So if I'm speaking right here, you can see captions on the screen and actually it's gonna add emojis and Highlights and just make that video so much more engaging. Now the other thing I like to do with this is you can do just a strict voiceover where you just read off a script and then you can create a VSL of video sales letter by just putting that through captions And now you have words on the screen and so in about five minutes You can write a new YouTube ad create a VSL out of it and then get it published in live So a lot of times you don't want YouTube ads because of just the barriers to entry How much work it is to get a video actually live But this time you can do it in a couple minutes and you can test ads Really rapidly and find one that works and then create a full production ad if you want to


Yeah, we want to win we want to win every game we play you want to win a championship every year just like every team So the last game the season you lose But the beauty of our profession is we get up and we get up and keep going you know we Everybody on this team is Works extremely hard. They care about the game So you know we get ready for next year Brian Lewis with the New York Post Hey Kevin, I'm curious. Hey, you guys were logging a lot of minutes to stay in this game and to put your guys put yourselves in position to win How much do you think that workload played a role in I think one of 12 and shooting in overtime? Was that a matter of fatigue or something else other other than that? We got a good credit to the Milwaukee Bucks. They're a great great team who got a good chance to win a championship Um, the story should be about them and how well they played the series. How will they play all year? You know we We got good looks there over time We just didn't knock them down but respect to Milwaukee Bucks and how they prepare how they Challenge us all series and made adjustments all series. We got done with respect for the ball club Bruce back NBC New York Kevin you gave everything you you could in this series you you put this team on your back There's does any of that temper the hurt that you feel right now? Not at all. Who cares? Alex Schiffer the athletic Hey, Kevin, you got a lot of big baskets from Blake and Bruce if you could just kind of speak to what you saw from both I'm tonight Yeah, I mean they made shots towards when we needed it. Oh, they got us got us up to a good start I Had so much fun playing with Blake and Bruce, you know, I make the game so much easier for everybody. They You know physical presence is in Bruce being a 6-3 guard 6-4 guard mix it up in a pain like that Blake Coming off so many injuries and giving us is all starting for us at the center and a playoffs You know, I got a number of respect for those guys and it's a it's a joy and honor to take the quote with them every day And if I could just follow up I mean it with the two the crazy season like this, how quickly does your mind shift to next season or do you give yourself a break after the Wild however many months it's been with all this I don't even know. I wasn't even planning on losing. You know I'm saying so I don't even know how I'm gonna feel I'm always thinking about our team and how we can get better and And what we could do individually, you know, just wait for Oh to take a few few days off Greg Logan with Newsday Kevin Steve commented after the game about the sacrifice that everybody made and the character they showed When you look over this season, what will stand out about it to you, you know As you look over all the adversity that you faced I mean every team went through adversity this year and I respect the whole league for how they just You know everybody every player in the league going through pro covid protocols every guy that's been injured Who played in the bubble and came back for a quick turnaround? You know guys have been in and out the lineup throughout the whole league all year and we still put a show on for the fans I'm just proud of the league in general and especially our team Because I'm in here every day, but I'm sure other teams have been through the same stuff that we've been through throughout the year So I'm just I'm just proud as a league that we got guys that Come out there and play great basketball every night We put a show on for the fans and to play off every team. So, you know, it's one of those things where We dealt with this season and we took a hit on and everybody just were professional the whole year Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News Hey, Kevin, I know you guys like to say next man up But you know when how much does not having Kyrie and then not also having a healthy James Dictate what you guys are able to do out there on the floor. Oh man, we Is I can't even speak about how much we miss Kyrie out on the floor and how much we miss James start the series and you know seeing him I could go for 40 minutes on both of those two on how much they care about us and how much they put their bodies on line Help us out as a team Kyrie had a gruesome ankle injury and he was thinking he was thinking about, you know, when is When could he play next and that shows that he cares about us so much James Playing on one leg came out there and gave it his all 48 minutes in game five 40 last game And then for 50 tonight, you know, there's no more respect and love for those two guys We missed them out there, but we still had a chance to win Back to Brian Lewis Hey Kevin a lot of Contenders like Milwaukee like Philadelphia had a cohesion edge because they were running it back I'm curious. Whatever you guys are feeling now, whatever pain you guys are feeling now Is that going to be something that's going to be able to fuel you next year when your guys are running it back? I mean, I think every guys few by they they get there they bring their own juice every day I mean, of course the loss is gonna be tough But we got a few more months until next season a whole year to the next playoff So, I mean, we're gonna be thinking about this is, you know, next few weeks But as we go on to the next event we start to get into the thick of the next season We got it isn't it's a we got to turn the page and guys got to continue to keep getting better individually I know continuity is a huge thing in our league because Jams owners they move players all the time but for For us we try to you know get with each other this summer keep grinding and come back next year You know Connor with the New York Post Kevin that final play of regulation can you describe making that shot? Did you think it was a three-pointer when it left? And is that really the ultimately the even in defeat the most memorable shot of your career? Not not even close to the most memorable shot I thought it was a Tracy, but I was I was at my big asphalt with a step on the line I was just seeing the little screen shot how close I was to end the next season off that shot But it wasn't in God's plan and we move on so it was a solid shot, but I had way bigger shots
