What's up guys today we're going to be opening up the original Kaiba Yugi Joey and Pegasus starter decks from 2002 all four in the one video then after that I'm going to be dueling with a friend Kaiba versus Yugi starter deck unfortunately the video was not great on this one because obviously I don't record a lot of duels so there was some kind of glare and stuff but the duels themselves are not that great so it's okay because we were going to move on to the next one the winner is going to pick either Joey or Kaiba after they pick one of those the loser will get the other deck add it to their deck and make it better because obviously Yugi and Kaiba are not the best decks on their own so once we got to that stage the recording looked a lot better and the duels were more interesting so we're going to be showing mostly that after the opening in this video so if you guys want to see more like this hit the like button let me know in the comments and let's get to the opening all right yeah starter deck Kaiba starter deck Yugi gonna be opening these up for our duel so we're just going to go through all the cards before we start so that we can kind of see what we're working with here it's going to be comical how do I even open this thing okay here we go okay starter deck Kaiba to start off we got the blue eyes wide dragon right off the bat let's check it out because these actually are kind of like expensive now in your mint I mean not expensive but like 20 bucks okay that guy not looking so hot on the back still not too bad is it a spell card the um spell card yeah so I think it's definitely at least 2003 print when did dual masters guide come out that's what I was gonna say I think yeah dual masters yeah that's what I think as well yeah there's the lord of the skull red bird I think this is one of the best monsters legend's in here isn't it Giyakutenno Megami the first trap the dark tide so this is what we're going to be dealing with when we're dueling we're going to have these kind of guys monster reborn that's going to be pretty good the wicked worm beast re-ukish empowered the invigoration what does that do what kind of cook spell okay two pronged attack the the three for one classic fail beast you got a roof trap and you can go to the kojo kazi that's actually decent 1500 rude kaiser 1800 tribute yeah ultimate offering wait that's what an offering is really good I just noticed these come out of order like this is number 50 brother this is weird dude this is number 50 definitely dual masters guy and this is number 32 this is really strange what is doing I just got out I think 2004 yeah these are like 2004 print well the spell cards would have to be after ferrata guardian because magician's force was the first one I thought it was mid ferrata guardian it is it's mid ferrata guardian but some ferrata guardian comes in mc2 yeah so I don't know dark hole that's going to be big yeah so it's it's at least I was like three late days ago inexperienced by look at those factory errors dude factory error yeah we got some uh we got some crap on the top so factory error 30 that's weird that they are like that you're robin so yeah oh lajin that's probably the best card you're going to have out here whoever gets this one we're going to be rolling a die to see who gets it oh kozi inflicts 800 of direct damage judge man's actually not too terrible hey man's pretty good trap hole master and experts classic over 2003 dual masters guy yeah October okay yeah all right so there's the starter deck hyba deck not terrible we'll see which what we think about yugi if it's any better so we have started at kyba here's yugi this is going to be quite the dual when we duel with just these cards it's going to be a little bit crazy all right so we have the dark magician you're going to sleeve these up when we duel with them of course dude we're going to duel with them on the dirt just like we did back in the day okay that's a near mint that's nice yeah and so the card destruction will be terrible soul exchange what I guess summon skulls in here right yeah okay so that'll be pretty decent and neo mammoth graveyard where's the living arrow card so we can destroy uh blue eyes ultimate dragon yeah two pronged attack increased life points oh we got a man eater bug okay so one's got hey name one has many to bug change of heart one has monster reborn we got wing dragon guardian the fortress tells it guardian dark or reinforcements okay magical ghost it's not bad neo the magic swordsman wait is that the number one four star out of yugi yeah oh wow so he has the power creep it was in but you have the better summon skull yeah whoever gets summon skull so that'll be better than judgment dragon zombie beaver warrior my mystic clown curse curse of dragon oh this has monster reborn too monster reborn and change of heart yugi's deck is okay yeah yugi's deck's pretty good wall of illusion okay I think yugi's is better so whoever wins probably wants that but you don't get blue eyes so curse of dragon as well oh yeah trap master yeah yugi's decks actually not that bad let's see some pretty good cards in there okay so we're gonna have kibah and yugi those are the two decks that we're gonna open up maybe should we open these now should I just go ahead and open all these in one video and then we'll just pick these later yeah let's do that because it's only four minutes I'll probably post this all in one video if you want to splice it yeah yeah so I'm gonna do red eyes yeah I'll just say it for later the star deck joey the red eyes star deck joey which is like just just got shafted because it's the same exact art oh it's L.O.B. it's just all the same art you know like the the the 10 the L.O.B. and the deck are all this artwork it does look real good I don't think there's a different artwork for red eyes until I start beginning I think start beginning has the red one jmp the shonen jump yeah wouldn't it when did that come out 2003 yeah so yeah that would have been before then no when did art be in the same time dark beginning came out after 2004 is it the same artwork the both that red and the one where he's I can't I can't destroy I don't know I don't I don't collect dark beginning well we're gonna have like double dark holes when we get to this I don't know can you play two dark holes even back then I don't think you could it doesn't matter we're playing two dark holes you got to do you see the cards we're playing with we're playing with like 1200 force stone monster rewards dark fire soldier number one this is gonna be crazy princess of siruji what is that doing flick 500 direct damage okay island turtle island turtle man number one this is earth flame swordsman joey is not doing much good willies all these fusions karate man get a poly he's got literal seven jewels in his deck yeah he's got uh flame swordsman and thousand dragon oh my god we're gonna be i'm gonna be playing triple ultimate so we're gonna be playing swordsman of land step playing fusions not in the fusions oh gear freed yeah that's nice yeah this is gonna be interesting oh giant trunades not a bad card can't say I ever drew a fusion in my life yeah magician of faith well you can I mean I'm thinking we can cut it down to 40 cards so we can like cut some of these cards baby dragon monster reborn and by the time we get this we'll have like 100 cards to choose from I guess time wizard will be probably played I would think time wizard the penguin soldier magic I got a guy on youtube who loves he loves the penguin soldier so there you go that's yours all right here we go relinquish what does pegasus even have he's got to relinquish which is missing clown I think is in there and then illusionary gentleman oh yeah and um he's not gonna be playing much delinquish he only got one spell I cannot open this thing a few moments later yeah just cut it out who needs it that one was not easy to open okay the back card is like destroyed but these are from dual masters guy but I wonder where these are from because these didn't come like a dual masters guy yeah I don't know what these are they had like the deluxe and graceful that's definitely this is magic card so this is maybe original that's magic yep so these are older actually which is kind of funny yeah man eater another man eat your coffee reinforcements dream clown jiggin back again yeah these are magic older for sure yeah chan job and your abbey blue ice tune dragon I don't even know when the deluxe additions came out illusion is faceless mage what is this grip and lean yeah I don't know that I don't think it does anything mask of darkness the trap activates this card does absolutely nothing magician of faith mask of darkness no sonic bird monster reborn of course okay so these are gonna I think we'll be all right which is black forest that's good armed ninjas decent and hey name so I think oh mst too so that's actually gonna be okay I was wondering when an mst is gonna come up it's the most printed card and all of you go I think next to monster reborn we're gonna roll a die to see you get to pick between the first few decks I'm gonna go and roll it you want odds or evens evens all right odds all right so I'll take the easy deck yep you get to be kibah I get to be kibah I'm gonna summon sorcerer of the doomed yeah I'm just gonna that's it dude game one all right boom then I'm gonna summon giant soldier of stone man I'm gonna attack you with stern magician destroyer holton offering yes and then I'm gonna hit you for that everything yes all right so I won the duel so what do I want I want okay let me think I think I want to add pegasus you can have joey the joey and we will upgrade our decks for the next round for my starter deck what do I have pegasus and yugi all right my pegasus and yugi deck combined this is what I ended up with we let no sort of ban list you could play any cards that you have so I have doubles of a lot of crazy cards so we had I hate one hanging I played two many of your bugs many of your bug was I mean just all these are super good because they can just remove stuff which is really lacking in this then trap master because pretty much so many back row removal wall of illusion is insane it just bounces stuff back which the black forest is just the easy search and if you like monsters reborn it you can reuse it stuff like that dream clown I think if you yeah change your defense he destroys the monster so decent sonic bird because I did play relinquish I only have one copy of it so it helps search out the black illusion ritual storming mystic is just he has an effect it's not good but he has one and he's 1500 so that's why I played him then the the 2000 walls and three of those then you just got some vanilla's they just get a little bit stronger as it goes neo is the most the strongest at 1700 four star the tributes you got a relinquished but he's not too easy to get out the summon skull and our magician but summon skull is better because there's only one tribute ultimate offering is sometimes decent double waku is good for stopping attacks double trap holes you got graceful charity because you can draw three obviously we're gonna play that black pendant it's probably black pendant because they could power it up for 500 and it deflates damage to decent we got the illusion ritual rush recklessly adds 700 attack points so it's pretty strong because quick play card destruction in case getting trouble you want to just toss everything mystical space typhoon of course we're gonna play that double change of heart is just insane we get because you got one from both decks we got two dark holes one from both decks two monster newborns from from both decks and two fissures so the spell cards are pretty strong in this deck while the monsters are not great gezi's deck he has harpy's brother a bunch of there's a bunch of vanilla's here so i'm not really need to cover those but you know what they do there's a lot of them though for the tribute monsters he had red eyes and blue eyes because he had kiba and started joey sangam obviously searcher lord d i'm assuming he's playing the flute of summoning dragon okay i just played it for a monster all right hey hey nice magician of faith obviously really good penguin the classic penguin soldier can send him back trap master the same reason i played it you're freed the iron knight in 1800 is stronger than any four star i have and then time wizard just because it can destroy double dark hole for him double monster reborn do you only have one fissure double fissure okay double fissure as well got what is reliable guardian do defense of 700 okay level and nuzer is an equipped spell powers it up giant surenate's pretty decent scapegoat and he only has one change of heart he's too gay his two decks so that's unfortunate do we have two one wabakoo as well and one wabakoo so that's that makes that pretty tough and then you got double reinforcements double trap hole two ultimate offering and seven tools of the bandit all right otter is uh yes i'm going first right here we go i got only one all right all right good start good start i'm going to activate graceful very good start the only card that lets you draw the only card i will also discard that lets you draw i'm going to discard this yep yep hate that card then i'm going to beat on me two times i'm going to set this card and i'm going to in my turn oh hey hey that was that was messed up be pretty brazen about setting cards here yeah actually

Any information you use in a college-level paper should be evaluated for the following criteria. In general, these criteria are authority, currency, relevancy, and bias. Items found in the library's databases or in the print collection are considered better sources of information because these sources have been evaluated by librarians before adding them to the collection. The librarians at IRSC carefully select each item added to the library based on the classes that are offered at the school. You still need to evaluate any source you find for each individual assignment. There is a range of degree programs offered at IRSC. An upper-level biology major would not want to use a source written for a lower-level general education class. This aspect is considered relevancy. For an item to meet relevancy requirements, it should meet your professor's requirements for types of sources appropriate to use for your assignment, as well as fit your own information need. Authority refers to the author or publisher of the information. A scholarly source of information will have an easily identifiable author, often with credentials in a job title listed. However, you might want to use information found on the Internet. You can limit your results to known publishers by searching for information on a trusted website. Looking at the domain of a website can narrow your results to better sources. Using information from a .gov or .edu domain will at least allow you to gather information from the U.S. government or an educational institution. When you find information online, you will want to verify the author's credentials by reading the About Us page. If the information comes from an organization you are not familiar with, you can verify the publisher's reputation here. An organization that has been around for many years will have a reputation to protect, meaning that organization will want to maintain a good reputation online and will try not to publish misinformation. Personal authors have varying goals when publishing information online. Using a personal website for research can bring biased opinions or unsupported claims to an argument. To filter out biased opinions from facts, find additional places that support the evidence you have gathered. Do not repeat information you find online if you cannot locate more places that support the same claim. Online social media sites like Facebook or Twitter are the biggest source of unsupported misinformation found on the web. Users see a sensational headline and start sharing the same news immediately. Many do not investigate whether this news is fact or fiction before republishing it. The widespread use of social media makes it possible for old news stories to be republished when they are no longer relevant today, which is why the date and the material matters. As a student, it is important to know that not all information you read online is true. Use the library resources to help you separate facts from fiction online and do some research before choosing a topic taken from an online news source. Information found online is the most current up-to-date information available, but sometimes news is so new that the events surrounding an event may be taken out of context or news commentaries may jump to conclusions before a study of the events and characters has been taken into account. To illustrate this point, let's look at a news story from 2012. This is the case of Rudy Eugene and Ronald Papo. Eugene was killed by police officers as he attacked Papo, a homeless man on a Miami Cosway in broad daylight. Eugene was reported to have taken off all his clothes before attacking Papo.  As the story unfolded in the news media, people came to believe that Eugene was high on a dangerous and new design or drug called bath salts. The reason for Eugene's attack was given weight as the president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, Armando Aguilar, said the similarity between the face-eating attack and some other recent incidents in Miami were striking. He said the cases are similar minus a man eating another. People taking off their clothes, people suddenly have superhuman strength. They become violent and they are burning up from the inside. Their organs are reaching a level that most would die.  Many respected news stations reported the zombie-like behavior caused by this terrible new drug based on this statement. Despite the fact that Eugene's girlfriend reported that he did not use drugs very much and then nothing stronger than marijuana. The medical examiner's report came out a month after the attack reporting that Rudy Eugene did not have bath salts in his system nor did he have any other strong hallucinogenic in his system. All they could find were trace amounts of marijuana. A study done in the professional journal Contemporary Drug Problems was printed four years after this incident in 2016. In the journal article, the authors analyzed the news stories surrounding the attack and the rumors that began about bath salts being a new drug that makes people feel hot forcing them to take off their clothes as well as gives them super strength and aggressive behavior. This article dispels these myths and backtracks in the news from 2012 to Agrolar's comments about Eugene and the effects of bath salts as the cause for all the hysteria surrounding Eugene's behavior. The article researches the truth behind bath salts and likens it to a drug that gives people a feeling of euphoria and talkativeness. It belongs to the same class of drug as cocaine rather than the PHP or LSD that it was likened to. At the time of Eugene's attack on Papo, bath salts was not set to become the next drug epidemic in America. Many states had already banned their sale and calls to the National Poison Control Hotline concerning the use of bath salts was down by half from the previous year. However, if you had decided to choose this headline in 2012 as a topic you would like to research, you may have been sorely misinformed about the potential of bath salts causing a drug epidemic in the U.S. This reinforces the need to back up all research with better sources of information. News stories are cursory and to get a better idea about a problem, you need to read more in-depth research that can only be found in scholarly journals and books that provide more data into any research question you may have.


Let me know if y'all feel the same way or if it's just me whenever I hear about something going on with the Ravens here about different rumors with the Baltimore Ravens I think it could be true I think they may even be accurate but for me personally it always hits different a whole lot different when it comes directly from Jeff Zribick because I know what Jeff Zribick he's very careful with what he puts out he does not just put out anything and he is always on point he makes sure he puts out accurate information every single time that's why we love Jeff Zribick that's why Jeff Zribick is our favorite guy who covers the Baltimore Ravens and he has been for a really long time so recently we've been hearing so much about the Baltimore Ravens being interested in Saquon Barkley we've been hearing a lot about that of course we've been hearing about Derek Henry too but with Saquon Barkley we've been hearing so much about him but today another report from ESPN came out and said that the Baltimore Ravens are considered serious seriously interested in Saquon Barkley just read real quick it says the Los Angeles Chargers Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears are believed to be serious suitors the rival Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys have interests but are not expected to reach Barkley's price point still they shouldn't be completely counted out because they are at very least involved so I saw that I'm like all right cool so this just goes along with a lot of what everybody else was saying but then I read Jeff Zribick's article from today from the athletic and let's see what he had to say about Saquon Barkley particularly he said Saquon Barkley Derek Henry and Josh Jacobs so three of the same running backs that a lot of people have been talking about he said this the Ravens have done their homework on the top backs if the price is right they could pounce and I think that is very significant because like we've talked about earlier we know the Ravens are always gonna have a running game no matter who's back there we know that but in certain situations we know that no matter who's back there the Ravens would get away from their running game and that would be very frustrating for us as fans and just for everybody watching like why the Ravens not using what got them to this place in the first place we saw it this year in the AFC Championship game big time we've seen it throughout regular season games from time to time we saw it in 2019 we've seen it enough times to be like hey what's the issue here so maybe just maybe with all these reports coming out and just because the rate but Ravens could be interested doesn't mean it's gonna happen but if the Ravens do something significant at the running back position I do think this could really change how they approach running the ball especially regular season I ain't worried about that but this could change how they approach running the ball when it means the most and that's what could be so significant about adding somebody like Derek Henry like a Josh Jacobs like a Seguin Barclay so we'll see exactly what the Baltimore Ravens do really soon but we got a lot of big news and it's very significant news to talk about ahead of free agency in today's video before we get into it make sure you leave a like on the video subscribe to the channel turn notifications on because the video is gonna be going crazy especially over these next couple of days tomorrow it starts the legal tampering period so teams are gonna start agreeing to deals with free agency I mean excuse me with free agents so y'all just get ready for that now from that same article Jeff Zrebek has some very very significant dates coming up for some significant Baltimore Ravens players here goes one that I did not know about I knew a decision had to be made soon on Odell Beckham Junior but the exact date he said Thursday wide receive Odell Beckham Junior has to be released before 4 p.m. on this day or his salary for the 2025 season will become fully guaranteed so buying a new contract agreement with the Baltimore Ravens Odell Beckham Junior will become a free agent so Thursday is the day to watch out for well by Thursday we will know like so it ain't gonna be no more guessing no more like oh it's all they'll be with the Ravens or not by Thursday at 4 p.m. we will know if Odell Beckham Junior will continue to remain with the Baltimore Ravens or he will go elsewhere I think most of us are expecting him to go elsewhere but we won't know till we know another important date somebody who has garnered just as much conversation as Odell Beckham Junior when it comes to being a Baltimore Raven on whether the Baltimore Ravens should move on or they should stay with this particular player is Ronnie Stanley let's read this part he said March 18th so that's coming up too this could be a key date in determining left tackle Ronnie Stanley's immediate future with the team which is one of the Ravens biggest offseason question Stanley is do a four million dollar roster bonus if the Baltimore Ravens picked that up it seemingly indicates that they envision him being on the roster in 2024 cutting Stanley without a post-June 1st destination seems unlikely because while it would create eight million in cap space it also would put nearly 18 million dollars of dead money on the 2024 cap jettison Stanley post-June 1st is more plausible because it would trigger 15 million dollars of savings and allow Baltimore to absorb a third of his dead money on a 20 25 salary cap the best case scenario for the Ravens would probably be for Stanley to agree to a significant pay cut that way they create some cap space and don't have to find a starting left tackle but such agreements can be very tough be a tough sale for a veteran player yeah especially like a pay cut I mean what I like to do when we do these videos I try to put us in the player's shoes and us in the GM shoes or the the franchising shoes sometimes too but certainly try to put us in a player shoe so we can get a better understanding of where a lot of players are coming from because a lot of times as fans they will look at players and be like oh that player is greedy all that play all he cares about his money hello this is his job he didn't get in his job to work for free so Ronnie Stanley with Jeff Zipic was talking about when it comes to him possibly taking a pay cut if he was to remain with the Baltimore Ravens like how would you feel if your job approached you say hey we love you thank you for everything that you've done for us we gave you this significant raise years ago because we value you we appreciate your work we know you're gonna be really good for us but can we take back that race can we lower your pay I know most of us in here will look at our employee employers like they were crazy if they approach us about a pay cut especially after they gave us a raise years ago oh man yeah we that wouldn't be good at all so when it comes to Ronnie Stanley we see exactly why that can possibly be a tricky situation in the future so we'll see what happens with that speaking of pay Chuck Clark Chuck Clark is somebody who the Baltimore Ravens they paid him years ago not no crazy money anything like that but he had gotten a contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens but then they ended up drafting Kyle Hamilton Chuck Clark was then traded to the Jets and he was there and it was looking like all right Chuck Clark gonna be with the Jets they got Aaron Rodgers and what the all right cool but then he toys ACL unfortunately so that ended his season before it even got started but the Jets and good-faced Jets they said hey no no Chuck Clark even though your season got ended prematurely we're gonna bring you back another year because the Jets they signed Chuck Clark to a one-year deal so he is returning to New York so they lost him for the season they lost Aaron Rodgers for the season they lost some other people but they trying to get the gang back together to possibly go on or run so we'll see what happens with that now somebody who has been a big part of a lot of successful runs will all up until the Super Bowl has been Deebo Samuel I know Deebo Samuel is a very interesting player because he's technically a wide receiver but he's like a wide receiver he's a running bag he's a mr. do-it-all type of player and I remember a couple years ago a lot of Ravens before he got his deal a lot of Ravens fans wanted Deebo Samuel to potentially be part of Ravens flock they wanted the Baltimore Ravens to trade for a Deebo Samuel but the 33rd team said oh you know what let's take what a lot of Ravens fans wanted a couple years ago and let's bring it back to a reality right now well not reality but let's bring the thought of it to reality right now because the 33rd team says that the Ravens should get Deebo Samuel for mr. Lamar Jackson and when you think about that you think about the way that they use a flowers it'll be a little bit different the way that they use a Justice Hill and Keith Mitchell it'll be a little bit different the way that they use Rashad Bateman it'd be like a mix of how they use everybody but all in one player and that could be Deebo Samuel what they said was adding Deebo Samuel would likely require a high pick but he'd be a perfect fit the Ravens have shown they are not afraid to go after elite talent and Samuel might be the best wide receiver available via trade and I didn't even know that he was available via trade if he is available via trade that would certainly be a very interesting player for the Baltimore Ravens they would have a lot of fun with him a whole lot of fun using him as just a straight up a weapon so if they were to make that move I wouldn't be mad at all at all but we won't know till we know now something that we do know is that a lot of Ravens fans have been saying the Baltimore Ravens need to draft a cornerback they need to pick a cornerback early I know some mock drafts have the Baltimore Ravens picking a cornerback early and initially I got it I was like oh yeah yeah we need somebody opposite Marlon Humphrey but then I forgot I forgot this whole offseason I've been forgetting about Brandon Stevens Brandon Stevens is sitting right there and I think a lot of us have forgotten about Brandon Stevens because with Brandon Stevens for the past couple years before last year the previous couple years before that Brandon Stevens is a third round pick is like somebody are you gonna have my safety are you gonna have met corner they've been flipping flopping back and back and forth but then this year they were like are you gonna be a corner look like okay Baltimore Ravens before the season started they signed Rocky scene so I was like okay that's gonna be a other corner opposite Marlon Humphrey they signed Ronald Darby or so okay we got even more depth and I had forgot about Brandon Stevens even back then but Marlon Humphrey got hurt and Rocky scene I don't know what happened with him but obviously may have fell out of favor with the Ravens or something because Ronald Darby ended up starting but Brandon Stevens had been a starter all year and he held it down he had an amazing year this year so the Baltimore Ravens they have a cornerback now I am mad at them getting even more quality depth because you could certainly use it because as we know especially as Ravens fans cornerbacks go down like that happens every single year to the Baltimore Ravens without fail it's annoying it's frustrating but it's part of the game so I understand getting quality depth but we cannot forget about Brandon Stevens in other news it was said that Patrick Queen he has some interest from the Houston Texans and that the interest is mutual but it was also stated that he could be a good fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers that would be something right there Patrick Queen went to Pittsburgh oh man a lot of Ravens fans who are on the fence about Patrick Queen oh they would hate him then I wouldn't be mad at him though because he'd be getting his bread and getting his opportunity and that's really what's gonna happen wherever Patrick Queen goes even if he comes back to the Baltimore Ravens which is probably unlikely but it is still a possibility because again he ain't signed away yet but think Patrick Queen tomorrow we'll probably know where he's gonna end up it's gonna be sad because I like Patrick Queen I know a lot of us like Patrick Queen I know a lot of people don't for whatever reasons but I like Patrick when I thought he was a great fit I thought his career his career trajectory has just changed so much in a good way it was nice to see it with Patrick Queen him finally start to find his footing and him starting to really really get it as a player but now that's it and he found his footing at the perfect time contract year two good stuff PQ so I hope wherever he ends up going it does end up working out for him so we'll see what happens with him really soon free agency literally right around the corner it's gonna be a whole lot of fun team keep it clean we had questions from subscribers that we put out a video that we put out earlier today with some really really good excuse me really really great questions on there if you would ever like to be part of questions from subs you can send an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com offer the team keep it clean patrons and special shout out to all the team keep it clean patrons you can send it directly on patreon if you would like to become a team keep it clean patron you go to patreon.com slash engraving vids and if you don't want to that is perfectly fine just make sure you subscribe to the channel because I don't want y'all missing out on anything I hate people hitting me up in the DM or something oh man I need to see you put out a video now I ain't even getting notification I know you got to subscribe and turn your notifications on and then you'll you'll get every notification that comes out because YouTube been very good with that recently and also leave a like on a video because it helps out the channel but it helps out you too especially if you've been having trouble with notifications the more you leave a like on a video then the more YouTube will recommend that video that channel to you so whenever something happens whenever something goes down because I know a lot of y'all subscribe to a lot of different channels and I get a shout out to the whole Ravens community too a lot of people doing this and they do a phenomenal job much better job than we do over here I could go name a whole bunch of names that do a way better job than we do because I appreciate all of them man and I'm happy for me because I get to get different viewpoints from other people I'm happy for y'all because y'all get to hear different stuff from different people and I love it we got so so so many great people that make content about the Baltimore Ravens a lot y'all got plenty to choose from so that's why I especially appreciate when y'all come through here because y'all have so many options but that's a beautiful thing when you got all those options but anyway shout out to all of them all of them y'all make sure y'all check them all out but anyway when you leave a like on a video that recommends that channel to you more and more so when whatever content creator puts out a video then it's like boom alright when they drop something you'll get notified about it so leave a like on these videos but not just here for any Ravens content creator and not even just to leave a like not even just so you can get recommended their channel but just to show them some love because they all really really deserve it


This is your host Abhinav Harkya and welcome to another episode of our let's talk and today We have with us once again Michael Kade global field CTO of cast and by beam Michael is good to have you back on the show I'm happy to be here and today. We are going to talk about AI workloads in Kubernetes and their impact especially in 2023 before we Go deeper into this topic talk a bit about where do you see? Kubernetes in terms of maturity and running in production as an ever-growing scale every time I've been on there I think we've been we've been talking about those percentages and the gains that we're seeing at least from a Especially from a customer basis where obviously we're focused on data protection and data management within Kubernetes We're seeing a nice increase in in the footprint of customers that are moving or adopting Kubernetes as a as a platform now let's talk about AI based workloads Running on Kubernetes or in other way because when we look at AI ML It it works both it can all also be seen as a workload and it can also be seen as something that can actually improve a lot of technologies So so talk about it. How do you look at from what perspective? fundamentally AI ML whatever or deep learning as well like they all stem from data and data access now We're obviously going to be focused on Kubernetes and what our talk track is there, but this isn't new from like previous platforms such as VMWare or virtualization as well, right? So where we start we start talking about the data We start talking about the importance of that data without data You don't have an AI or you don't have a or you might have an algorithm But you don't have a data set to run the algorithm against how important is that data? Where do we get that data from and I think that's where that's where I tend to start Especially when we're talking to customers that are leveraging AI and they're building their own AI and ML operations or applications then we start talking about the data the importance of that data and Not always if you think about like a traditional environment where maybe you'll have a a database or a data service Maybe you'll have a some observability metrics and it's not as fun as maybe chat GBT or gaining insight into into data that way, but Observability has a a dream of different like informative data points So you might be looking at okay. How could I leverage that data? How could I get something from that and AI is sat on top gives us that insight into that data So instead of doing that from the production set, I want to take a clone of that data And I want to spin that up in the most economic like Efficient way so that I could then run run my algorithm against it or just basically get insight out of that data Without affecting anything in production. So I think that's that's kind of where I'd first start that process of Data's important and data is the fundamental part of AI and ML Ops if you look at Kubernetes once again The use cases are Beyond what the the creators thought of you know, it's it's just you know exploding folks are using it in so many different It's like initially it was it's state less than it is stateful. You're saving data there Which is also kind of though the Kubernetes community they have you know, they're maintaining it the way they want it But these new use cases they do affect project You know a lot of you know other sub projects and just in project also come up talk a bit about how is AI ML based workload affecting The Kubernetes self if it is yeah, I think I think the biggest thing is is that Me for one the personas that I'm speaking to aren't just data protection specialists. They're not just backup teams They're not just virtualization admins or sys admins. I'm now having conversations with data scientists How could we leverage that data? How could we move that data around and then obviously if I'm having them Conversations that and I'm right at the bottom of the stack I'm generally the the last port of call when it comes to data protection I'm like the least exciting thing on the on the docket when it comes to spend it spending on that on a new IT project But if it's getting to me then then people are like data scientists are also intrigued about Kubernetes which is only going to grow that community up into the use case that are available to it The challenges that that's going to bring is well if once this admin wants this and a data scientist wants this How do we? Make sure that we've got enough cycles or or maintainers to make sure that all of these projects have the capabilities involved Just going back to kubecon Detroit The big the big takeaway there was that we don't have enough maintainers or we don't at least look after our maintainers enough now And we have this flourishing community of growing into different Areas and industries we have The AIML ups around data scientists, but then you've got to think about like edge and iot You've got to think about the traditional virtualization admins, then the cloud engineers the dev ops engineers sre's platform engineer. It becomes a huge group or a huge community that are pushing for potentially different things or similar things But there's some differentiators in in each of those things that they're they're pushing as well. So I think I think the constraint is we don't have enough maintainers. We don't have enough people to Create and make what we need to to push all industries forward um But hopefully with what the kubecon and the the linux foundation are doing is that that's going to encourage more people to contribute and to maintain projects and I mean the the cncf landscape isn't getting smaller. I think I don't know the last time when you looked at that cncf landscape, but Yeah, there's still A large amount of different projects on there that are are constantly evolving To suit to suit the needs of all all members of the community. So first of all, you know, there's already, you know, kind of, you know shortage of When we look at data scientists and then if you look at Expertizing these communities and all those skillset. That's also not a skill set you can find easily so talk a bit about what does this economic social change that is happening will have on teams and We can also talk about, you know, what vm keston is kind of doing all the whole cloud native ecosystem is doing To help companies so that they can continue to move forward. Yeah, I think I think the skills Shortage obviously we've spoken over the last couple of years about the skill shortage around kubernetes and cloud native as a cloud native ecosystem is is apparent I think what the if we look at the world and the economics that's that's going on here is is very much Dictating that we have to do more with less which is always the case, right? When we're all when when interest rates rise and We have to do more with less and teams get shrunk and we have to do the same amount and and that's just that's the way this This world seems to seems to run And I've been saying about that I actually did a session at the beginning of the week around how the sysadmin is evolving that systems Administrator that maybe just looked after Probably shouldn't say just looked after a server farm within a data center And then progressively had to look after exchange sequel had to look after virtualization when that came along had to have that learning curve and then had to start looking at cloud now There's a lot of different platforms that were just mentioned there the sysadmin that I remember I was a sysadmin back in the day and I looked after a rack of servers I had never had the concept of virtualization. I never had the concept of cloud per se And I had to look after them and then you have to evolve as that that sysadmin then becomes a virtualization consultant and so on and so forth And I think that big next evolution is around automation. How do we how do we simplify that automation? How do we encourage people to use infrastructure as code? And it's very difficult because with virtualization you could instantly see that that That abstraction away like I can take that one physical 2u server or 3u server and now I can fit 10 20 30 virtual machines within that you can see that level of Like abstraction there and with the cloud you could see that you were sending workloads up and you were taking away a You were abstracting a layer of manageability of that that workload whether it be virtual machines or databases as a service You're abstracting a level of I don't have to worry about the operating system anymore I don't have to worry about the the server in the rack and the power to that I pay someone else to do that Now with automate automation there's no Real managed or abstraction layer around other than your own time As soon as you see For example, like using terraform from an infrastructure as code point of view And you create 10 virtual machines from just saying terraform apply That Shows that the abstraction there is your time. We're abstracting away that time now I understand there's forces of nature that stop us being proponents of change But by being a proponent of change and looking at infrastructure as code or configuration management around ansible around chef around kubernetes It provides us the ability to claw back some of that time because we're being asked to do so much more And whilst doing that you're ticking the box of being so much more valuable as a person Within the it industry or in the tech industry to be able to offer so much more out there as well So there's a massive challenge. There's the there's that I've been a I put all my time and effort into being a virtualization admin Um, I don't want to change again. This is never going to last. This is never going to happen And there's a lot of that. There's a lot of pushback People my age don't want to retrain and learn new new traits And I get that it is it's it's overwhelming. It's sometimes daunting It looks like you're just looking at ever is and I've used that terminology a few times around Everest looks like it. Well, I shouldn't say that I've never climbed Everest for the record But ever is from base camp and even even from the airport looks an incredible size and listening and speaking a lot to authors that have traversed Everest they actually say as you get to base camp and then you start going up It becomes more manageable, especially those people that have been able to to do it And I think you have to set that that path to that learning journey as well If you look at yeah, I am talking a bit about, you know, uh, what are the trends that you're seeing where you feel that Hey, what these are the some of the opportunities that we missed and uh, but now you see some positive trends when you will see that We will be leveraging a iml in a way that we should have So if we look at like technology over the last at least 20 years that I've been in tech It's always been driven by or mostly by that commercial sector as in A consumer. I'm a consumer of technology at home. I have my have my playstation 5 I have my nintendo switch. I consume technology. I have all my home automation Stuff running here and then we see that drip into the enterprise or vice versa But mostly it comes from the other way and I think The the the characteristic around like chat gbt that that's not blown up because of Like a couple of us in the it industry looking at it and seeing what it can do Looking at a massive data set from 2021 And seeing it all over my youtube or all over my like blogs and and and feeds that i'm watching But it's actually people that I see like down the pub and like people that are carpenters That I speak to on a daily basis friends. They're consuming that technology and that's the that's the uh, the Catapult for me is that as soon as you see People outside of the it industry Adopting technology we start to we will absolutely be double downing on that from a technology industry point of view I think chat gbt just shows the power of what that ai does. It also enables that automation level Like I don't know how much you've done with with chat gbt But you can quite easily make it It could it can write pretty good code samples if you ask it the right questions You can write a program with it. So that opens up the door to Again squashing that that barrier to entry that that learning curve that that i've mentioned before I think also Other big vendors bringing out their VR and their ability to to to jump into an immersive world Only opens up the door to bigger tech firms doing more of that things that stuff as well I think that is actually there I think we might talk about it like we've been talking about ai and ml for for a while about cleaning data Leveraging data and especially from backup Backup data we've been saying about doing this for for at least five years. I have at least but until something like a company like apple or microsoft or place or sony bring out a The capability of being able to do it in your own home That's what then leapfrogs us back into a oh, we'll start looking at leveraging data Getting some sort of insight out of that data to provide better business outcomes or Just like let's break it down to mitigating risk or reducing cost Like any of them three things is a top top thing for a business Especially in the day and age where we are where we're trying to reduce cost We have to do something with nothing We have to mitigate risk still because those threats around cyber security are not going away How can we be sharper to the the point around that and anything that can offer better business outcomes from that data? That allows us to understand a little bit more about selling you selling Trends and how people use our application where they use it Like they allow us to enhance that application Which means that we're only going to make more revenue in these tough times where people are People are like bracing for a for a huge economic downturn Talk a bit about the challenges that are there when it comes to as you rightly said it's all about data Challenges that are there and how casting them are helping you know users to kind of Protect some of the data because that is also important. There's two two Answers to that and one is around Just being able to protect data Just normal data services databases that are living within or outside of the kubernetes cluster as well as the whole Theme data platform looking after all sorts of data protection The second is obviously we focus on backup and recovery of that data But in doing so we also lend quite nicely to being able to clone a copy of that data From the backup versus having to use your production So if you are looking for that data set or potential several data services and you want to put that into one One application to understand a little bit more about that workload and what it looks like Then we've got the ability to lend that to it. So like I mentioned around I'm speaking to a lot more data scientists. They're actually using that sort of clone Technology to be able to push their algorithm against that and then glean information from that. So Again, we're just focused on the data and backing up that data from an insurance policy point of view But there's such an extension and extensibility to what we're doing that opens up the door to different areas and different people that have similar but different Requirements when it comes to that that data management How much awareness do you see is there when it comes to a ML workloads? And data production data recovery disaster recovery high availability So I would say since our last so we have a we do have a case study out there specifically around data scientists using casting k10 I would say that that that conversation is very much started even more so over the last nine months I know that The cube con in detroit was very themed around a i ml ops if if you will as well as data as well If we look at the release release cadence of kubernetes that three a year Each one of those at least for the last two maybe two and a half years has been focused around data and and data at scale as well obviously there's a lot of Scalability within kubernetes as a platform Compared to something like virtualization So yeah, I think again, it's it's a growing number that we're seeing around adopting and I think from a scientist's point of view They they don't know what they don't know and them trying to take models and and uh algorithms from maybe an existing Area that they used to work in and trying to bring that into kubernetes It's just that maybe a little bit different But also being able to get a hold of that data in a fast efficient way is is another key area to to consider Michael, thank you so much for taking time out today and talk about this topic today And as is all I would love to have you back on the show. Thank you. Thanks for having me


White House says continued civilian slaughter is going to happen in Gaza White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told the press on Tuesday that the continued killing of civilians in Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza is going to happen This is war said Kirby.  I Wish I could tell you something different Wish I could tell you that that wasn't going to happen, but it is going to happen And it doesn't make it right Kirby added it doesn't make it dismissible It doesn't mean that we aren't going to express concerns about that and do everything we can to help the Israelis Do everything they can to minimize it, but that's unfortunately the nature of conflict. Oh Okay, well as long as you're going to express concerns The information interests of Israel and its Western allies have been greatly served by framing this onslaught as a war When that label really doesn't actually apply here a War is when two nations or groups are in a state of armed combat with each other One side may be more powerful than the other, but the combat is decidedly going two ways That's not what's happening here Israel is reigning high-tech military Explosives upon civilian infrastructure inside a giant concentration camp densely populated with children and Every now and then a militant in Gaza fires back a type of rocket that is essentially a glorified firework Which historically hardly ever kills anyone? Israel is killing civilians by the Thousands and turning entire city blocks to rubble while Hamas and other resistance groups in Gaza are doing some light property Damage in what amounts to a performative display of defiance That's not a war.  They wouldn't be able to do that if they were addressing this atrocity truthfully The only thing truthful about Kirby's framing was his statement that the slaughter of civilians is going to keep happening The death toll from airstrikes in Gaza has reportedly surpassed 6,500 with the 24-hour periods from Monday to Tuesday and Tuesday to Wednesday both exceeding 700 deaths each As anti-war is David camp notes this large escalation in deaths coincides with the claims from Benjamin Netanyahu That Israel has escalated its bombing campaign This is all being funded and supported by the United States who has been ramping up its military presence in the Middle East in some pretty Disconcerting ways Not one but two US aircraft carrier strike groups have been deployed to the eastern Mediterranean since the killing began and the Pentagon has told the press that it expects a Significant escalation and attacks on US troops in the Middle East in response to Israel's relentless assault on Palestinian lives US military advisers have been sent to Israel to help the IDF prepare for his ground invasion of Gaza and as usual Australia is joining in the US war mongering by sending more troops to the Middle East as well So we can expect a lot more killing in the near future one way or the other No meaningful pressure is being placed on Israel to stop butchering civilians and an escalation into a broader war in The Middle East is not at all outside the realm of possibility Things could be headed in a direction that makes a genocidal massacre look like sunny days in retrospect


I think at first I'll trot around here and make sure he's between my hands my feet here and there's not a whole lot of resistance and I think that's real key to these two-year-olds is to keeping them really soft and letting the cow pull them but where they're soft enough they can get back through that other turn without a whole lot of resistance and where you can get that chin and let that be slow and then come over here and stop get that chin there so you raised up a little bit there slow down get that chin and then trot off over here get get that hip moving around and be able to manipulate that body where it can help you and benefit you and what you need to do. I want to make sure this steer gets far enough away and commits far enough that I can really open that turn let that this steer get away that way that's a clean turn right there hold them right here with this left foot soft and go hold them here then go and that goes right back I think to what I was talking about earlier about wanting that pull to come you want to create pressure once that bubble's gone you know he wants that he wants to get up in that space right there and then give release but let the cow go far enough that he can create a little bit of pressure that comes from the cow


All right lady. What is this?  It's actually a valve board for the ATtiny817 underneath here and I've put a shield on top to make wiring easier and I've got like a little bit of everything It's a little bento box electronics and I've got here some neopixels wired up And this Arduino compatible is sending iSquirt C commands over these wires to this client Which is going to read them and then do stuff. So it's a little iSquirt C to anything, you know, Swiss Army knife So this potentiometer is being read over iSquirt C and then being written back to the neopixel brightness So that's like this little demo. So I got analog input to iSquirt C working and then iSquirt C to Neopixels working. So that's what I did this weekend so far so good. Very glowy. Yep, it's right here
