Hi everyone, I'm Ed Baker and I'm your host producer at the addiction recovery channel or ARC. ARC is a TV show that's dedicated to enhancing public knowledge, specifically with regard to people with substance use disorder, their treatments and their recoveries. The idea is that if we can reduce stigma and encourage people to feel compassion and understanding that we will in fact be contributing to saving lives. And this is what the show is all about. I couldn't be happier today to have as our guest, Barbara Rabtoi. Thank you, Barbara, for being on the show. Thank you. Barbara is a person with the lived experience of addiction, lived experience of recovery. And she's also involved in what's known as a recovery friendly workplace. And that will be the topic of our show today. So Barbara, when we talk leading into this part, this interview, one of the things that you said was important to you was to get a summary of your addiction and its consequences. So I guess we can just start right off there. Would you like to do that? Yeah, that's fine. My addiction started about 11 and a half years ago, after I got into a car accident, I ended up getting addicted to pills. The addiction of that just led to heroin. And then after that was back and forth between crack and alcohol. When I finally went to Gale two and a half years ago, I ended up getting clean and I've been clean since then. Beautiful, beautiful. So when you went into prison, you began abstaining from drugs. And then you came, when did you come out of prison? September 9th of 2019. So you came out of prison September 9th of 2019 and you've been clean or drug free ever since? Correct. That's really something. Congratulations, congratulations. That is a wonderful accomplishment. And I understand that because I'm a person in recovery too.  Is it a way of life for you now? Yes, it is. I can't imagine my life being like it used to be. I have way too much going for me now. Beautiful, beautiful. You know, one of the questions that you wanted me to ask you was the greatest question ever. Why is your sobriety so important to you? Because I'm finally able to pay my bills. I'm able to pay my rent. I'm able to take care of my animal. I'm able to go buy myself stuff. I'm just, life is much better like this. Couldn't have been better said. Life is much better like this, sure is.  Was there something else you wanted to add? No, you're good. Okay, all right. So let's just focus one second on that, taking care of your animal part. You wanna talk a little bit about Chuckie? Chuckie is my main coon cat. He's about a year old. I just got all his vaccines, which cost me about $100. I just got him neutered and microchipped and that's about a $400 bill. During my addiction, there's no way I could have afforded this. Now that I'm not, don't have an addiction anymore, well, I do, but I'll always have that addiction. But now that I'm not actively using anymore, I can afford to take care of my animal as well. He has my kid. And that's really what you want to do, isn't it? It is. Yeah, so many times we, with addiction, we're prevented from doing the thing is we really wanna do down deep inside. We can't do them because the addiction has us. And when we're free from the addiction, we finally get to be the people we can be, like the best people we can be. So I understand that and I identify with that. Now, I understand that you were on a social security SSDI and you made a transition from social security to employment. And that's when you began at Westminster Cracker Company. Is that the name of the place that you work? Westminster Cracker Factory. Westminster Cracker Factory. And one of the things that's happened since then that's coming up very, very soon is that you are gonna convert from being an employee under the umbrella of working fields to a full-time regular employee at Westminster Cracker Factory. Is that true? That is correct. I couldn't be more excited. Yeah, can you talk a little bit about that and how that accomplishment feels to you? Well, I was in a car accident back in 2006 and I was on disability for about 10 years. My disability just ended in November and I said, okay, I have to make up this money. So I came to working fields, which is a great temp agency. They were able to help me get a job. I worked at this job since about December and now I'm converting full-time to the company. I love it. And doesn't that say a lot about you that in a very short period of time with some support from working fields and we'll go into that, but in a very short period of time with some support from working fields the management of the company noticed and said, okay, Barbara, we want you to work here. You are a good employee. Is that the case? Yes, it is. Actually my supervisor has been wanting me to be a full-time employee since like two weeks after I started. That's really good. She says she saw right away. We got to get this one working here. Don't let her find any jobs anywhere else, right? Yes. How does that feel to you? What does that feel like to you? Really good. It's actually like amazing. Like I can just see the change in myself and it just keeps getting better and better each day. Yeah, beautiful. So I mean, we call it self-esteem, self-worth. Is that how you relate to it? It's like the way you feel about yourself down deep inside, you're feeling good. Yes, I have a lot more self-esteem, a lot more self-confidence. I actually feel like I have a purpose now that I have a job. I'm actually an essential worker because we make crackers and actually a good feeling.  And so many times, I mean, what I've seen and you've probably seen it too, people with substance use disorder and recovery from substance use disorder. If an employer finds out about that, sometimes they can be very prejudiced towards you, not give you the job, not interview you again, fire you. There's been a lot of that that's gone on historically. The company I work for is actually a recovery-friendly place to work for. Talk about that for a minute. What is that? Describe that to me. What's recovery-friendly place? What is that? They understand about drug recovery. They actually have people that are in recovery themselves. And if they hire people who really can't get jobs anywhere else because of addiction and being in trouble with that, Westminster will hire you and they'll help keep your life on track. I'm just so impressed by that. Bravo to that company. I just really think that's so important. So in other words, if I'm working there and I'm having a hard time with something, maybe a friend of mine texted me and said, I've got this or I've got that. And all of a sudden I'm kind of just thinking about whatever drug it is.  I need a few minutes. Oh yeah, he would let you. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, that's really something. That's really something. My supervisor is amazing. Beautiful.  You could be yourself. Yep. My past is my past. All I look forward to is a new me in the future. Oh, I like that so much. And don't you have, don't they have like a recovery coach that is there to kind of help you or that you can get to if you need to to help you with problems you might be having either related to the job or not related to the job. Is that true? Working fields, they do. And you have access to that person? Yes, I do. Anytime I need to call them. Has that been a good relationship for you? Has that been an important relationship to you? Yes, actually it has. Good, good, good. I think that's really important. Now, you know, one of the things that is beautiful about what's happening with you because I know we've talked a little bit leading up to this conversation is your relationship with your children. So first, let me say that what are their names and their ages? Kately is 16, Cameron's 11 and my twins Zoe and Dominic are 10. Twins, I mean, that's a lot of kids you have. Yeah, four kids and two of them are the same age. And their brother is only 14 months older. Wow, wow. Now, you know, I know that, I know that this is a little bit of a sensitive emotional part for you, but it's so important for us to take a look at this because the way you've handled this is so beautiful, Barbara.  Is that the case? That's correct. They went to live with my mom a few years ago. They're happy, they're healthy, they're safe. They want, this is what my children want. I'm not in a place, yes, I may be in recovery, but I still working on getting my life together and I'm still not in the place where I could properly take care of them. So it's what my children want is for my mother to adopt them. So they're happy, they're safe, they're healthy. And I still have contact with them, so it's fine. You're very, you're very fortunate. You're very, you're very fortunate. And then I admire your, the thought and the love that went into that decision that you've made. So that must be wonderful knowing that your children are safe, that they're in the family, that they're with your mother. Now, isn't there something else going on that's really important? And I think I wrote down that it was, I think it's in four months and seven days. Isn't something really good going to happen? Four months and nine days and I maxed out after five years. What does that mean, maxed out? What does that mean? It means I'm off from parole. There is no probation, no parole, nothing. I am free again. So you'll really be free. You'll be free of drugs and you'll be free of supervision. And what else comes with that? Isn't there like a travel privilege? I can leave the state and I can go see my kids in South Carolina. I was going to ask you, I was going to ask you, where's the first place you're going to go when you can leave the state? South Carolina. So good, so good. You know, and the plan on, I guess like we all do as parents, spending some of that money that we make on our kids. You know, is that one of the things that you're looking forward to? Yes, I mean, I've always still been able to support my kids, even while they're at my mom's. I've still gotten birthday presents and Christmas presents. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is going to be great. I can't even tell you how happy I am for you and how good it sounds. I know what it's like to have an addiction.  And I know what it's like to be freeing. So congratulations and you deserve it. And you've earned it. That's the important part, you've earned it. We all make mistakes, but we shouldn't be defined by the worst mistake we ever made. You know, we should be able to free ourselves from that. Past is a past or a reason. I like that. Now, I know that all your children are equally loved by you, but I also know that one of them is having a truly exceptional accomplishment occur. Do you want to talk about that a little bit? My 10-year-old Zoe, one of the twins, I'm more excited than she is actually. She just made world championships in archery, not state and not national. She already beat them. She's going to world championships. I'm more excited than she is. She doesn't understand how exciting and important this actually is. I love it. This is really something. How did this happen? Are you an archer? I mean, did she get it? How did that happen? I don't know. I guess she just wanted to try it and she loved it. She's an athlete, just like I was. Were you an athlete? I was, I played soccer, lacrosse and I was a cheerleader. So that's how it happened.   I mean, that is incredible. Where are these competitions going to take place? Where does she go for that? I think they said they are actually having one right there in South Carolina. Oh, okay, good. Good for her. Good for her. I'm really happy for you.  It's the greatest thing. Now, there's also, I guess there's one other thing that I wanted to look into. You used to work at Elphin Lake? Yep, when I was 14, that was my first job ever. And did you inscribe something on a wall down there? Yeah, when I first worked there, I actually was able to put a picture of a flower and write my name and the day I worked there on the wall. And it's still there 20 years later. This was back in 2004. I feel really cool to still see it. What does that mean to you, Barbara? That actually I did something right back when I was a teenager for my addiction. I'm sure you did. I'm sure you did. And that's some of some things in life. I mean, I believe we all have our beliefs. Some things in life are timeless. That's a timeless thing. And I'm a person with addiction, Barbara, so I understand. And I like to think sometimes that little Eddie, the kid before he got addicted, I was maybe 13, 14 years old, 15 years old, little Eddie, the good kid, that my addiction lasted 23 years.  And he's with me today. Do you feel like that about little Barbara? For the most part, I was in a car accident back in 2006. A lot of my memory is gone from childhood, but as much as I remember, I'm getting back to where I used to be. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. You know, so I think this is, we could probably begin to end our talk now. I wanted to give you the opportunity. Is there anything that you wanted to talk about that I may have missed that you wanna add at this point? I don't think so at the moment. Okay, well, I'm gonna close with this. I wanna tell you something. I wanna tell you something that I see people with addiction as, you know, unfortunately in the darkness. And that's where I was. The people in active addiction in the darkness. And, you know, when we're in the darkness, it's very hard to see light. But when I see people like you and people like me, people who have come through addiction and who are willing to speak about it, as really as beacons of hope for those still in the darkness. And that's the way the show will go out. This show will go out featuring you as one of the guests as a beacon of hope, you know, shining the way for those of us that are still in darkness. Kind of like if you would envision it like a North Star of example. You're an example to people who think they can't do it. They don't know how to do it, or they'll never do it, or it's too much. You did it.  I wanna thank you for your courage for coming on the show because I don't think it's easy.


E-Max has so much to offer you that it can be overwhelming sometimes. E-Max, the sky's the limit to what you can do within E-Max. Even the stuff that's built into E-Max is just overwhelming. Forget about what you can do by extending E-Max. Let's talk about some of the built-in features of E-Max. Let's talk about the shell integration and some of the terminal emulators that are built into E-Max. Just talking about the shells and the terminal emulators, that's confusing to most new E-Max users because there's so many shells available to you. Which one should you be using and which situation? What's the difference between the various shells inside E-Max? That's our topic for the day. So let me switch over to the desktop here and I'm gonna launch E-Max. Of course, you guys know I use Doom E-Max. The first shell you want to discover is what they call the inferior shell. So if you do meta-X, so Alt-X on the keyboard and type just the word shell. So this is the standard shell mode inside E-Max and they call this the inferior shell. You can see the description actually says run an inferior shell. Hit Enter. And by default what this is, it is a wrapper around your default system shell. So if your default system shell is bash, it's gonna be the bash shell. And that's basically it, you can change what the shell is. Though it doesn't have to necessarily be your system's default shell. In your E-Max config, you can specify, hey, in shell mode, I want ZSH or Fish or some other shell that doesn't necessarily always have to be the system's default shell. Now, shell is not the greatest shell in E-Max. It has some severe limitations to the point most people probably actually don't use this shell. This is probably the one that the least amount of people probably use. Because all it does is redirect input and output to E-Max. And it means a lot of interactive terminal programs, things like top and SSH, your terminal file managers, like Ranger and Midnight Commander and VIFM and things like that. They may or may not work properly, they probably won't. If they require a whole lot of interactive stuff going on, it's probably not going to be a good experience in MetaX shell. Because again, it's an inferior shell. But we do have other options though. So if I hit escape here to get into normal mode and I do control WC to close that split here in Doom E-Max, let me show you some of the other shells that are available to you. Or a better terminal emulator inside E-Max. Because shell mode, just the standard MetaX shell, it's not really a terminal emulator, it's just a wrapper around your shell. If you want a proper terminal emulator, what you probably want to use is something like ANSI shell. So do MetaX and then type NC-term. And this will ask you, hey, what shell do you want to run? At the bottom it's asking me, do I want to default to slash bin slash fish? Or would I rather change it to slash bin slash ZSH? Or I could change it to slash bin slash bash. I'll do bash because it is the default system shell. Although I do notice that some of my color scripts did not display correctly here inside the ANSI-term and I also noticed my prompt, my bash prompt does not display correctly inside the ANSI-term. We'll just go with it for now, but ANSI-term I found also does sometimes have some limitations, sometimes interactive programs like H-top, for example. They don't look that great inside the ANSI-term. So ANSI-term also has some severe limitations, although it is a proper terminal emulator. It's similar to things like X-term and RX-VT and your traditional terminal emulators. There's a better one out there. And it may or may not be installed in Emacs by default or your distribution of Emacs. If you use Doom Emacs or SpaceMax, you may have to install it. But the one I have found to be the best terminal emulator is V-term. So if I do MetaX and then type V-term, this will just default to a real prompt here. This is actually the fish prompt here inside V-term. And if I do LS and H-top, and H-top looks perfectly fine there. If I wanted to do something like, do I have VIFM here on the system? I do. Let me do a colon Q to quit out of that. Actually, I got into VM there. So let me colon Q a couple of times to get out of that. Now, everything kind of works in V-term. I found very little in V-term that doesn't work. So if you just want a standard terminal emulator to run your shells in V-term is the one, but you're not stuck with just your standard terminal emulators and your standard shells, there are other shells available to you inside Emacs shells that may or may not be available to you in a standalone terminal emulator. The obvious one we should talk about is the E-shell. So let me close this V-term here. So let me escape to get into normal mode and then control W, C to close that split. And you know what? I'm gonna kill this buffer as well. So let me escape to get into normal mode and kill that buffer. It's asking me, do I want to kill that buffer? All right, now I'm gonna do meta X and let's launch the E-shell. Now what the E-shell is, is this is the interactive Emacs shell. It is written entirely in Emacs lisp, elisp. And it's a very powerful feature rich kind of replacement for your typical shell, things like bash because now you can create elisp functions inside your shell, right? It's also kind of a REPL, right? And it's an Emacs lisp REPL. Now before we talk about how great E-shell is, we do need to talk about some of the limitations with E-shell. First of all, E-shell is not a terminal emulator. It's a shell, but it's not a terminal emulator. So it does not talk to a shell, it is the shell. So you need to understand that also because of the way E-shell talks to other processes, especially asynchronous processes, there may be issues with the way it buffers text and how it interrupts work. So not everything, when you run interactive terminal kind of programs inside E-shell, some of them may not work as expected. Also E-shell does not support interactive programs. So things like TOB, HTOB. Matter of fact, let me try HTOB here and let's see. HTOB does display correctly. Of course, I'm not actually running any commands on it. I'm not trying to kill any processes or anything like that right now, but at least it displays correctly where it did not display correctly at all and some of the other shells thus far. E-shell will not run exactly like Bash or ZSH or even other ancient shells like the C-shell or anything like that. E-shell is its own thing. You have to learn a completely new shell that's completely alien and in a lot of ways because it's kind of extensible in E-Lisp through Emacs, through configuring it. You can really configure E-shell to be whatever it is you want it to be. You know, it has a lot of customization available for you if you want to take advantage of that. Not everybody of course needs that, but those of you, especially those of you that are really into E-Lisp. E-shell is probably the shell you eventually want to deep dive into. One of the neat things about E-shell is a lot of your standard shell commands have been rewritten basically in E-Lisp just for E-shell. So a lot of the standard shell commands you typically do in things like Bash, Cat, CP, LS, CD, you know, those kinds of commands, those commands are not the standard Unix versions of those commands. They have been rewritten in E-Lisp for the E-shell. The E-shell also has a lot of custom commands that are not available in any other shells. For example, if I wanted to show you this command here, DearEd is a E-shell command. It launches DearEd, the directory editor, the file manager inside Emacs. It launches that on whatever directory I give as an argument. So maybe I want to open, I don't know, how about my wallpapers directory? Will it actually tab complete? No, it won't, but I am not in my home directory either. Let me CD into the home directory. And then let me do DearEd and wallpapers will tab complete when you hit tab. And this will open the DearEd file manager in my wallpapers directory. So let me do a Q to quit out of that. And I'm back into the E-shell. Another command that's really interesting is VC-DIR, so version control directory.  And once again, I'll run it on my wallpapers directory because my wallpapers directory is a git repository.  Another built in E-shell command is the find-file command, which is really cool. It just searches for a file. If I wanted to search for a file in this directory that I'm in, maybe I want to search for dot bash RC. Not only does it find it, it automatically opens it up inside an Emacs, but for, of course, I'm not really wanting to work on my bash RC, so let me colon Q to get out of that. And of course, I actually closed the window. Let me relaunch an E-shell. So I actually have it hotkeyed for me just to automatically get back into the E-shell when I launch Emacs. Now, one thing that people, when they first get into E-shell, immediately have a problem with is, if you use aliases a lot, and I'm a big time bash alias user, how do I get aliases inside E-shell? Because remember, E-shell is its own shell. It's gonna have its own aliases. Well, maybe I don't like how long the find-file command is, because that's such a great command. You'll use it all the time, but I don't want to type nine characters for find-file. Well, I could alias it. I could do alias, space, ff, space, and then inside single quotes, find-file, space, dollar symbol one. And that creates the alias for find-file, well, from here on out, just beat ff. So if I do ff, and maybe I want to search for my ZSHRC this time, you know, and again, it'll launch it. And let me quit out of that. Actually, if I quit out of that, it's actually going to close the window. Let me just switch back into the E-shell buffer here. Now, the problem with what I just did, aliasing find-file to ff, this is a one-time deal, right? So how do we actually put that in like a aliases file so it's permanently available to us? Well, let me open up my config file for Doom Emacs. So let me open up my config.org here. And if I go down to this section where I have written some stuff about the shells, first of all, with the inferior shell, with any shell that uses one of the standard shells on your system. So if it can use Bash or ZSH or Fish. So that will be things like MetaX shell, MetaX term, MetaX ANSI-term, all of those are gonna use a external shell like Bash, ZSH or whatever, they don't have their own shells. And I set them to always use Fish is what I did in this command. Let me zoom in so you guys can see that. So I've added this to my config setQ space, shell-file-name is bin slash fish. So Bash is my system's default shell. That's what they would automatically default to is Bash. I want them to actually launch the Fish shell though. But for E-shell aliases, here is the thing I added setQ space E-shell-aliases-file. And then I created a file in my .doom.d directory called aliases. And that is where I put all my E-shell aliases. So if I do space FR here in Doomy Max and I search for aliases for recent files here, this is my aliases file. And you'll see the syntax is a little different than what it is in Bash or ZSH or Fish. So instead of aliase LS equals and then in quotes the alias, there's no equals and there's no quotes. And I've aliased LS to be EXA. So when I relaunch the E-shell here, if I do a LS inside the E-shell here, this is actually the EXA command with the various flags I gave it. So that's how I did that. I also aliased my gitbear repository. I will delete this though. This actually did not work properly for me. So I don't actually want to show you guys that on camera, the E-shell does not like the alias for my home directory being a gitbear repository. It actually freezes up the E-shell. So I need to get rid of that. That way I don't accidentally launch that command one day because all it does is it just completely locks up the E-shell. So again, you know, the various shells, all of them have little niggles, things that work properly within them, some things that don't work properly, you know. So not every shell is perfect. That's why it's good to have, you know, the four or five shells that are already in Emacs, you probably are gonna use more than one of them anyway. You'll probably find use cases, maybe for all of them. One other shell we should talk about. I know a lot of you guys are really big into Python development. And of course, IPython is available. So if you need a Python REPL, of course that is available to you.  You can type actual Python commands here. You do math, of course, inside a Python shell. One plus one actually returns to like it should. You could, you know, do a print and then in quotes here, I could do, you know, hello world and they will actually print that out for us. So that is your standard IPython REPL. By the way, because the E shell is a REPL, I could also do math with it. I could do plus one, one. That's how it has to be written in Elisp. It's not one plus one, it's plus one and one. And then that returns to, and let me clear the screen here. The clear command work, it does. Since we did a hello world in Python, I guess I should try to do a hello world here in Elisp. I believe it's message. And then if I wrap in quotes here, hello world. Yeah, and that actually works. Now I had to think about that a little bit because one thing to notice here is that, you know, when you're using one of these interactive programming shells, these REPLs, especially the E shell, you know, Elisp is full of parentheses. You don't have to use a lot of those parentheses when you're just doing things interactively in the shell. So this actually, you know, if you were writing this in a script, it would have to be wrapped in parentheses. The same thing with the math command that I did earlier, that plus one and one, that needs to be wrapped in parentheses. And depending on how complicated the math expression, the equation you're writing, you may have to have a lot of parentheses in that thing. So just something to keep in mind that it's written slightly differently in the E shell itself than how it would be if you were writing it in an actual Elisp script. So that's just a very cursory overview of some of the various shells and terminals inside Emacs. We talked about just MetaX shell, which is the inferior shell. We talked about ANSI-term, which is a more proper terminal emulator, but still kind of limited. We talked about V-term, which is a much better terminal emulator. That's the one probably most people would probably want to use. If you're really big into Elisp and you really make your shell a lot more extensible by writing custom Elisp functions and things like that, the E shell is probably the most powerful shell in Emacs for that sort of person. And of course, you have various repels available for you, such as the iPython repel for those of you that do Python programming. Now, before I go, I need to thank a few special people. I need to thank Michael, Gabe, Corbinian, Mitchell, Devin, Fran, Arch5530, Akami Channel, Chuck Claudio, Donnie, Dylan, George Gregory, Kell of Devils, Lewis, Paul, Scott, and Willie.

and welcome to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and I am here today with a haul from Tom Thumb. They had a lot of meat on clearance and with meat prices the way they are.  I spent 64 dollars and some change. So I'll start back here.  So they were 50% off of this lowest ticket price right here. So they were half of 810 and then I also grabbed some lean ground beef again half off of that 926. I grabbed some what is this? I grabbed some chuck-eye steaks and again 50% off of that 848 so these were $4 in something. Grabbed some chicken as well.  Grabbed some boneless skinless chicken thighs half off of the 1079. Some more breast tenderloins half off of that 939. Some more boneless skinless chicken thighs half off of the 1151. I grabbed two big packages of country style ribs and these were half off of that 946 which is a great deal because there are four pounds of pork ribs in here and the same with this pack it's about four pounds two and it was half off of that 1003. Grabbed two packages of this beef right here beef for carne so it was half off of that 692 so basically it's like a chopped beef and I'm gonna use it for probably like tacos or fajitas something like that and then I grabbed another pack again same thing half off of that 790 and then I grabbed some lettuce because I wanted to have some salads I also grabbed a package of crescent rolls this butter was free was one of my rewards so I grabbed some salted butter I grabbed a couple of heads of broccoli grabbed two cans of rotel because I use the last of them on a recipe and I just like to have them on hand. Grabbed some watermelon that I'm going to chop up and put in a container in the fridge. Grabbed some broccoli for a new recipe that I'm going to try out and then I grabbed Harrison two bags of goldfish I grabbed him the colors and then also the vanilla cupcake so this is everything that I picked up on my quick grocery haul I hope you all enjoyed this video if you did please give us a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed to our channel I certainly hope you'll do so thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time


From Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE. Covering Activio 2019, Data Driven. Brought to you by Activio. Here we are in Boston, Massachusetts. I'm Stu Miniman, this is theCUBE at the special, at Data Driven 19, Activio's user event. Happy to bring on a CUBE alum who's a partner of Activio, Phil Buckaloo, who's General Manager of IBM Cloud Object Storage. Phil, thanks for coming back. Great, great to be here Stu. All right, so object storage, why don't you give us first just kind of an encapsulation of the kind of the state of your business today? Sure, object storage is really an extremely important business for the industry today, because really it's a new way of accessing data. It's been around obviously for a decade or so, but really it's increasingly important because it's a way to cost effectively store a lot of data to really be able to get access to that data in new and exciting ways. And with the growth in the volume of data, particularly unstructured data, like 103 zettabytes by 2023, I think I heard from the IDC guys, that really kind of shows how important being able to handle that volume of data really is. So Phil, right, I go back, think about 12 years ago, it was like all the technologists in this space were like, the future of storage is object. And I was working at one of the big storage companies and I'm like, wow, we've been doing block and file and there was this big gap out there and kind of quietly objects taken over the world because underneath a lot of the cloud services are there, objects there. So IBM made a big acquisition in the space. Talk about customers that I talk to, it's not like they come out and say, oh geez, I'm buying object storage, I'm thinking about object storage, they've got use cases and services that they're using that happen to have object underneath. Is that what you hear from your users? Yeah, there's a couple of different buying groups that exist in the object storage market today. The historic market is really super large volumes. I mean, we're unique and that the IBM acquired the Cleversafe company back in 2015 and that technology is technology we've expanded upon and it really, it's great because it can go to exabyte scale and beyond and that's really important for certain use cases. So some customers that have high volumes of videos and other unstructured data, that is really a super good fit for those clients. Additionally, clients that really have the need for highly resilient. Because the other thing that's important the way that we built our object storage is to be able to have a lot of resiliency, to be able to run across multiple data centers, to be able to use erasure coding to ensure the data is protected. That's really a large part of the value and because you can do that at scale without having downtime when you upgrade, those are really a lot of core benefits of object storage. That resiliency is kind of built into the way we do it and that was something that was just kind of a mind shift as opposed to, okay I got to have this enterprise mindset with an HA configuration and everything with N plus whatever version of it. Object's going to give you some of that built in. The other thing I always found really interesting is storing data is okay, there's some value there but how do I get leverage out of the data and there's the metadata underneath that helps. You talk about video, you talk about all these kinds of there. If I don't understand what I've got and how I leverage it, it's not nearly as valuable for me and that's something really one of the key topics at this show is how do I become data driven as the show and that I have to believe is something critically important to your customers. Absolutely and really object storage is the foundation for modern cloud native data lakes if you will because it's cost effective enough you can drop any kind of storage in there and then you can really get value from those assets wherever you are and wherever you're accessing the data. We've taken the same technology that was the exabyte scale on premise technology and we put it in the IBM public cloud and so that really allows us to be able to deliver against all kinds of use cases with the data sets that clients want and there's a lot of great innovation that's happening especially on the cloud side. We've got the ability to query that data, any kind of rectangular data with standard ANSI SQL statements and that just really allows clients to unlock the potential of those data sets. So really good innovation going on that space to unlock the value of the data that you put inside of object storage. All right, Phil, let's make the connection active use here, IBM OEMs the solution. So talk about the partnership and what customers are looking for when they're looking at that. Sure, so quite a ways prior to the partnership, our object storage team partnered up with the activity team at a large financial services customer that recognized the growth and the volume of the data that they had that had some unique use cases like cyber resiliency. They get attacked with ransomware attacks, they needed to have a standard way to have those data sets and those databases running in a resilient way against object storage that can still be mounted and used effectively immediately in case of ransomware attacks. And so that plus a lot of other traditional backup use cases is what drew the IBM cloud object storage team and the Actifio team together. Successful deployments at large customers are really where we got our traction. And with that, we also really began to notice the uptick in clients that wanted to use, they wanted to do test data management. They wanted, they needed to be able to have DevOps team that needed to spin up a replica of this database or that database very fast. And what we found was the combination of the Actifio product, which we've OEMed as IBM virtual data pipeline allows us to run those virtual databases extremely cost-effectively backed by object storage versus needing to make full replicas on really expensive block storage that takes a long time. Well, yeah, we'd actually done research on this a number of years ago. Copies are great, but how do I leverage that, right? From the developer team, I want to have something that mirrors what I have in production, not just some test data. So the more I can replicate that, the better. Phil, please go. There's some really important parts of that whole story of being able to get that data flow right to be able to go do point-in-time recoveries of those databases so that the data is accurate, but also being able to mask out that PII or sensitive information, credit card data, or others that you really shouldn't be exposing to your testers and DevOps people. Being able to have the kind of... Shouldn't because there's laws and lawsuits and security and all these things. So, Phil, we're talking a lot about data. You've actually got some new data to share with us, a recent survey that was done, share some of your data with us. Yeah, we did some, we did the ESG guys actually worked with us to build out a piece of research that looked at what would it cost to take a 50 terabyte Oracle 12C database and effectively spin up five copies the way you traditionally would so that different test teams can hammer away against that data set. And we compared that to running the VDP offering with our cloud object storage solution. Distances apart, we had one of the, with the source databases in Dallas and the destination databases in Washington, DC over a 10 gigabyte leak link. And we were able to show that you could set up five replicas of the database in like 90 minutes compared with the two weeks that it would take to do fuller application. Because you were going against object storage which runs about 2.3 cents per gigabyte per month versus block storage fully loaded which runs about 58 cents per gigabyte per month. The economics were below, it would blow away. And the fact that you could even do queries because object storage is interesting. Yes, if you're using, if you have microsecond response times for small queries you've got to run some of that content on block storage. But for traditional queries, we looked at like really big queries that would run against 600 rows. And we were half the time that you would need on traditional block storage. So for those DevOps use cases where you're doing that test and development you can have mass data, five different copies and you can actually point back in time because really the activity of technology is really super and that it could go do point in time, you know, was able to store the right kind of data so the developers can get the most recent current, you know, copies of the data. All in, it was like 80% less than what you would have paid doing it the traditional way. Okay, so Phil, you start to talk a little bit about some of the cloud pieces, you know, Actifio in the last year, once their first SaaS offering, Actifio Go. How much of these solutions are for the cloud versus, you know, on premises these days? Absolutely, so one of the benefits of using a virtual data approach is being able to leverage cloud economics. There's a lot of clients they want to do, you know, they want to be able to do the test and dev which has ups and downs and peaks and valleys when you need to use those resources. The cloud is really an ideal way to do those types of workloads. And so the integration work that we've done with the Actifio team around VDP allows you to, you know, replicate or have virtual copies of those databases in the cloud where you want to do your testing or we can do it in traditional on-prem object storage environments. Really, whatever makes most sense for the client is where, you know, we can stand up those environments. The other thing I wonder if you can stand out a little bit more. You talked about like cloud native deployments and what's happening there. How does that tie into this discussion? Well, obviously modern architectures and ways of agile ways of building things, cloud native with microservices, those are all extremely important but you've got to be able to access the data and it's that core data that no matter how much you do with, you know, putting Kubernetes around all of your existing applications you've still got to be able to access that core data often systems of record data which is sitting on these standard databases of record. And so being able to have the VDP technology be able to replicate those, stand those up like in our public cloud right next to all of our Kubernetes service and all the other technologies gives you kind of the full stack that you need to go do that Tevin test or run production workloads if you prefer, you know, from a public cloud environment without having all of the burdens of running the data centers and maintaining things on your own.  Gives the final word is what, you know, what does it mean with orange and blue coming together? Well, absolutely. We think this is going to be great for our clients. We've got, you know, tons of interested clients in this space because they see the value of being able to take what Actifio has done to be able to virtualize that data, combine it with some of the technologies we've got for object storage or even block storage to be able to serve up those environments in a super cost-effective way, all underlined by one of our core values at IBM, which is really trust and being irresponsible. And so, you know, we often say that there's no AI, which all of this data leads up to without information architecture. And that's really where we specialize is providing that governance, all the masking, all of the things that you need to feel confident that the data you've got is in the right hands, being used the right way to be able to give you maximum advantage for your business. So we're super excited about the partnership. Phil, definitely a theme we heard at IBM think. There is no AI without the IA. So, Phil Buckaloo, thanks so much for joining us, Sharon, all the updates on what IBM is doing here with Actifio. Great, great to be here. All right, and we'll be back with more coverage here in Boston, Massachusetts at Actifio Data Driven 2019. I'm Stu Miniman, and thanks for watching theCUBE.


سنبدأ الأخضر من اليوم الذي هو إجتماعي مجموعة لذا مجموعة أسدقائية لدينا مجموعة أسدقائية لذا خالد ديكرن هل يمكننا أن نبدأ؟ نعم لذا لديك أسدقائي لذا لدينا مجموعة أسدقائية لها اليوم لذا هذا أسدقائية لدينا 5 منطنت هل لدينا أحد who is taking care of the counting down؟ هل لديك؟ جميل لذا هل يمكننا أن نبدأ؟ أحبت أن نبدأ؟ مرحبا أسدقائية اليوم نحن مجموعة لأن كل أسدقائيين أعتقدوا أن الأهربيك أصدقائي أنا أفتح أسدقائي 3 أسدقائيين قبل عندما يجب أن أحبت الأهربيك وقالت وقد يجب أن تكون أسدقائية وخاصة أسدقائية هذا أجلس ماذا العالم؟ هل ننقل أسدقائيين جميعًا لو كنت ننقل أن نتتعلم أهم جنون من تراه مننا الهراتية لذا نقوم بالنظر أديو تيكنو's online games portal انتظار أكثر 30.000 المستخدمين يجب أن يتبعوا بالحب with Arabic ونحن قمنا بعمل هذه المشيئة لذلك وقد فعلنا ذلك by providing over 150 games that are designed based on Doha's Supreme Education Council's Arabic standard. كما بيزنس نحن يجب أن نكون لدينا a strong reference base here in Qatar ونحن نستخدم it to GCC by the end of this year ونحن أن the press has been generous with us and you can find more on our website ونحن لدينا one recognition and awards from the Childhood Cultural Center, الفكرة MIT and the mobile app challenge that promoted a nominated editor-technist to represent Qatar in Barcelona Mobile World Congress for the mobile app and we have scored top 6 finalists on a worldwide platform and I'm going to tell you a little bit about this app just to get the whole story together our mobile app is currently being developed to be a cross-platform and it adjusts to kids' behavior and their individual weakness to ensure that the child will keep acquiring the proper skills to learn how to read and we are still raising funds for that through sponsorship so if anyone is interested just let me know after that so we took everything that we've learned from the portal from the mobile app from interacting with children, teachers everything and this is simple findings that we have Arabic actually is consistent in the rules of reading which makes it a very easy language to read compared to for example English that has a lot of exceptions but we have identified two main challenges for the children it's very hard for them to distinguish the dotted letters and to identify the same letter when the shape changes in different position in the word so what did we do we told in stories about the shape of the letter and that was effective we showed the animation of the shape is being changed and that was effective too but when we combined both that was super effective and this is why we want to make an animation that help children identify different shapes of the letter when it's in different positions in the word utilizing the current characters that they already familiar with from the portal utilizing the same map that they also familiar with but we're going to edit something to utilize it and make it part to more of the culture where we're going to be adding the skyline of Doha and some more of the landmark and we're still in progress and you can see over here the quest for the main characters will be navigating them up to get to the castle throughout the adventure the characters will be collecting different items to unlock different levels to get to the final destination and just to illustrate this is a quick thing just to illustrate what we mean for example our main character has papers and they need a pen the robot over here will find the word but it's disconnected so the robot will start doing the animation pulling the leg of the cup so that we have a column and only then the pen or the pencil will materialize one minute so the learning objectives have two phases for this project the first phase is to focus on the different letters shape and the second one is to expand and utilize our curriculum to actually reading Arabic it's going to be two minutes episode 28 letters 101 variations and that's an example for one variation for one letter which means a total of 101 episodes of 202 minutes and today we are proposing exclusivity for Bara'im once they decide to fund and broadcast this on their TV channel thank you so for judges if you don't have questions do you have any questions for the contestant how much yes I do what's your business model what's your business model the business model other than actually the TV show we're going to be maximizing our immersion dies and again we have the online portal we have the game also that is based on this this is completing the circle for the whole business is this invasive no it's with Bara'im you tell me Bara'im how do you know I want to give it to you exclusive you take it to them so basically it's going to go to the TV yes and they're going to dictate basically I don't know whether you're doing any kind of research and study just to evaluate and probably to assess the competency level of the children using this application after when it comes to the ability of reading and recognizing the letter yes we are basically the curriculum for now we have this doesn't go back okay oh yeah this is the one we have basically two different aspects the first one is the shapes it's just the shapes of the letter we're creating a story just to explain where the shape is it's been in development for four years right now and we're having teachers and we keep modifying it with the mobile app with all the data that we have and as I said we test everything before we actually take it over everything needs to be storyboarded first tested on children before and after and this is what we do and even with Idiotechno we were checking out the data on the system and we're like okay let's even have further tests yes you have the digital data but we want to have further tests we did multiple workshops and we found out testing the children before and after and in between the children on average they the skill the weakness and their skill has improved at least 19% some children improved 25% we couldn't believe the numbers so yeah we have to test every episode has to be tested otherwise it's not effective exactly same as the game so we consumed the two minutes for Q&A for the sake of the time are you done with the questions or you need to have some one more question if you take your existing users then user base on the website how long time you get to keep the players or the TNS students in each session how long they stay each game finishes this is a game this is not the game on the website actually each one should be finished within a minute it shouldn't take longer if it takes longer than the child has weakness in a skill and we don't we don't recommend playing more than 2-3 games a day in a week 3 times a week that's all what you need and for the children who come they're not going to be wanting to come back they're going to get bored you have to keep that mystery alive for the children and what we found out also that students actually are more engaged of course than the younger children than students who are enrolled in schools and they are following with the curriculum with the teacher they are coming back much more than the children who are not enrolled through the schools and would you bring the animation yes so when you bring basically that's also another problem when you have the game it's going to be also it's not going to be convenient to tell them a story and animate it and then that's it you know where's the game over there you see so instead we will introduce that and we have the games that complement that we already have games that helps children identify the different shapes of the letter but as I said we're still testing as I said we told the story and then the games it worked the animated the letter it was perfect when we combined that both and it was the most effective way and again it takes a village to raise a child the games are one tool the app is another tool this is another tool and this is something we've also I'm a big believer that the child will learn to the child and if you're creating this world they will see something on TV and this is exactly what happened I remember I had this is like a small story I remember it was the first shot for me and this is when this thing became like one of the missions that I would want to do in life I saw on TV this Japanese cartoon that the two friends I'm sorry for interrupting but for the sake of time I'm making it short so basically saw on the TV the Japanese cartoon that the students the girls went to the library and they were researching and doing some fun stuff and the geek that I am went to the library it was empty the books were boring has nothing to do with what I just saw on TV and that was a shocker for me when I went and traveled and lived in Canada then I started seeing that's what I grew up with but it wasn't there so that's why animation and TV gaming and even in the future when we have arcades in the cultural center have a full village for the children to empower the message that Arabic is fun and yes you can do it it's not hard you can do it thank you we need to go for the E let's call it thank you there Alex are you ready so this is the first question and we need you to vote on so how inspiring is the level of imagination and creativity do you find new approaches in action to daily life and culture so please give us your vote thank you going to question number 2 safety of the content thank you question characters, designs, sketches thank you question number 4 content question number 5 importance to the audience thank you last question thank you moving to the second pitch my name is Usain my passion is 3D animation I spent my last 5 years studying animation 3D animation that's awesome I think there's problem with the slides it's supposed to be some of my work there yeah this is some of my work I've done I'm here today to present my story but before I start I would like to ask you guys when did you last time went to the movies or have you been to the movies before yeah I can see majority yeah so do you know what happens when you guys leave the theater no well my story begins when you guys leave the theater in a wall where popcorn were racing to be eaten surrounded by evil latches fighting every single day for their life our friend this movie will tell the story of a little half popcorn his name is Baruch Baruch had a miserable life kids in the school they used to call him Baruch Buras making fun of his big head he had a miserable life until he found Sheera he fell in love with Sheera Sheera is the sweetest popcorn ever Sheera was the caramel popcorn caramels are the royal family in the popcorn land well one day Sheera disappeared but Baruch went crazy searching for Sheera where is Sheera where is Sheera he couldn't find her he found out the evil latches kidnapped her and they want to destroyed her he went searching for her will he be able to find her and get her back well the answers in your hands I'm here today to present this story asking you guys to believe in this story because I believe it has a potential for every single kids in the world to have the right to dream we will teach our kids your kids how to dream how to dare to dream even you are a half popcorn in order to bring Sheera and Baruch together I'm asking for 1.5 million to help them and save the popcorn world one minute thank you very much questions can we bring them for 1.5 million or it's better if we keep them apart save Sheera save Sheera guys just let me understand the sentimental value that you want to reflect in your story I got it in my head but I want you to elaborate it I don't know basically Baruch is a half popcorn I'm representing the handicapped people in the society that they don't have a dream or they say like we can't dream so this guy it was a half popcorn and he reached his dream he's fighting for his dream everyone was making fun of him but he has a dream he has to fight for it so you've got a dream you've got to believe in it and protect it it's a sentimental value thank you other questions thank you we'll go for scoring and please ensure that the 5 judges are scoring for each and every point or question start counting Alex please what's up next question please next question please next question please next question please and the last question next Aisha Al Jida Aisha so are you ready yes peace be upon you my name is Aisha Al Jida I'm hard to say but I'm hopefully at first I'll start with an animator with a 4 year BA in animation okay the enchanted tale of Shahrazad first of all I want to start with the plan animation treatment with all the animation treatments you have to ask certain questions which are what why where when which would I won't be talking about when because this is mostly determined after what the brainstorming and script writing process and you have the how what basically a lot of people know 1001 nights which is also known as the Arabian nights the most maybe 95% of them they do know that and it became very popular and it's multi-cultural and worldwide in different languages the thing is nobody actually knows behind the scene story of Shahrazad alright why so why do I want to say the story of Shahrazad okay we all know 1001 nights story is a collection of stories within one main story but we actually want to know the story of Shahrazad how and from where these stories were created and brought up so where does she get her stories 1001 story is a lot to know it's very creative so does she actually work with a magician sorcerer what was she planning and how does she get all her stories from was she planning to escape maybe the thing is why do you want to know the story that's behind the story first of all it captures attention creates suspense because you already know some parts of the story so you want to know the hidden secret behind it the thing is a lot of people would know if they've seen the theatrical show of Wicked it's basically the story of the witches that are in the Wizard of Oz and that was very interesting why the story I find it very interesting because it is actually a classic of the Arabian culture and a lot of people are neglecting all the cultural heritage so I would like to bring that back but in a new visual way so I am trying to reproduce one of the classic tales which we all grew up reading keeping that part of the Arabian culture is very important to me appeals to people of all ages as well the where is mostly also you can speak about it after with the directors and script writing and everything but because I'm coming from an Arabic background so it would probably be more Arabian and again in terms of location you could creatively say that it could be a garden, enchanted forest somewhere where it's other than the palace because we all know that she said the story and then he went to sleep so what did she do after that so the king wanted to sleep what did she do and then I was saying how now the style the style of animation animation has developed massively the problem is the lead in animation film it's steering away now from 2D more into 3D but my idea is to allow awareness of what 2D is still capable of even though just like Disney they fired for a period of time they fired all their 2D animators they rehired them back and that's how they created the princess and the frog so my inspiration was she did 2D silhouette animation and why 2D silhouette animation one minute it leaves the person to imagine what the characters would look like so something like this this is what I've done my inspiration she was a German film director and animator and she was a pioneer of silhouette animation she actually completed her first animated feature even before Walt Disney so she was the first animator but everyone knows it's no white apparently was the first animated feature she worked with paper cutouts and later on she developed it as the background being colorful and the foreground being black and white these characters this is what I've done I designed King Shahraiar and King Shahraid just to tell you how you can basically animate them by putting them together and they would be like a silhouette puppet animation just like Loche Reineger but more modernized this could be on the computer Loche Reineger actually did she animated frame by frame on top of a white box this was a long time ago so now we actually developed we can do the same effect and technique but with computers and I actually have a video to show you but it's 2.5 minutes long so whoever is interested they can come and see it afterwards so I'm just going to leave you with this quote good question on the budget how much do you think it's going to take money and resources money this is a hard question but time not a lot of time because I've managed to produce a 2.5 minute animation full animation that could explain more in less than a year and this is just done by I've animated directed from A to Z but money wise you would need it for the technology computers, rendering and softwares as well so I hope that answers your question thank you Asha I have one question who's your target audience in terms of age group and in terms of the language and animation I've decided to do it as 2 different it could be in Arabic and then translated in English with English subtitles or in English with Arabic subtitles the target group as we all know 1001 Arabian nights was actually for adults but because animation now is not strictly just for adults it could be target groups kids and adults so we can narrow down the level of the content so it's not very sexual or you know and it could be targeted for both but not kids at the age of under 10 so it's like teenagers and above because they would be more aware of this and the style especially the style kids they'd like to see more features it leaves you to imagine what the features of the character is you didn't put your budget for how much it will cost you to produce the animation how much it will take and the team that you need to produce your animation because you are thinking of yourself as a solo person or do you think that you need a team with you I definitely need a team but this was done as a solo project but of course I would actually a small team for doing this but definitely a team rather than raising awareness to Arabic and the wickedness of the story itself and behind the scenes of the story what is the sentimental value what's the value that you want to reflect in your story because America has their own classic tale of King Kong Japan has their own classic tale of Godzilla this is our classic tale the Arabian Nights is our own classic Arabic tale so a lot of maybe 95% of people now are not aware of Shahzad or 1001 Arabian Nights so I want to bring that back into our culture but in a new visual and different way yes can you please play the movie I imagine Shahzad being in his courtest book in London Arabic style tall long silky beautiful hair white eyes I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't كيف تتعرف عن الشهرزات؟ الله سلمك هناك مجرد مجرد الشهرزات وها أبي حتى تأخذ الكلمة أو لا وحتى تأخذها الشهرزات كانت مختلفة كيف كانت مختلفة؟  و連اك منها، ق재ةط جرناص من now ضدد هذا وفي رأس جرناص on ميزائق أخفق إonsider جولية قرار آخر نفسه وده وكك سنتظر اعتقدت أنه مجموعة جداً من أدن لذا دعني أتحدث معك عن أفكاريتي. ما هي أفكاريتي؟ أفكاريتي هي مرين محمد هل تسمعون عن جرنس؟ هل ترى كاركتنا؟  فأنا نظر إذا كانت لدينا المزيد ما يمكننا أن نقوم بشكله أعتقد أننا لدينا المزيد لدينا المزيد لدينا المزيد our game had reached 300 thousand 300, sorry 350 thousand downloads around the world and they are exploding 100 countries around the world so what we want to take our local stories globally so please help me do that so basically we calculated a 10 minute episodes cost our personnel cost is about 1.1 million gb and if we take with the equipment that we buy, it's around a team of 8 and with the equipment it's another about half a million for a good amount of the studio so it's 1.5 initially let's say half a million is the initiation cost and then around it cost 1 million which would be for around 6 months cost what about the time of frame for getting this project on let's say around 1 year yes for how many episodes we're planning for around 10 to 15 episodes initially just I want to understand because I'm a bit confused you said the 101 night stories and then you said our stories so just because honestly speaking as my friend mentioned previously and the idea before my idea and basically it is that if you talk about the one the one source of our greatest stories is the 101 nights so the source of your stories will be the 100 and 100 right stories but adopting them to our local context so you will be rewriting the stories yes and after that you sell the stuff I mean who pays for it yes we are we want to sell these rights and ideas if possible if not we will actually do the production ourselves so can I stop you for one second please because there is somebody over there I would like to salute Marawan Mahroof he is the one who started the innovation theater in 2011 so please come to the stage please Marawan please come to the stage no no we need some we need some please Marawan please come to the stage you own this since 2011 since you invited him in my time yes he gets to vote he gets to vote now she knows my vote you can take my place I really want to thank everyone this is really wonderful and it's only possible with people like you really they are the ones who started the

This is stock number HA315A. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Limited, this vehicle has the 3.6L V6 Pentastar motor, which has been on Ward's top-ten engine list several times. Very good motor. Sangria clear coat. Metallic is the color. Kind of a purplish color, almost black. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it is like you're right here looking at the vehicle with me. This one comes with the painted and polished aluminum alloy rims. These are 18-inch rims, and then it has Michelin Premier 265-60 R18 tires, and these tires have just about all the tread left on them. Only about 3,000 miles on this vehicle, so lots of tread left on those tires. Premium projector lamp fog lamps. No dense dings or cracks on that front bumper. It does have the projector lamp headlamps. Passenger side fender. No dense or dings. Passenger side rim. No scuffs or scrapes. And as you go down this side of the Jeep, you can see just how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, you can still see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. Not one single dent or ding down this side of the vehicle, and that's something you just can't get with pictures. That's why we do the videos. Back rim, no scuffs or scrapes, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Rear quarter, no dense or dings on that. As we come around to the back, you'll be able to see that sangria color just a little bit better. And then just the right light, it becomes purple with a lot of metal flake in it. Rear bumper is absolutely perfect. No dense dings or cracks on that. Reverse sensors. Has a power lift gate. The gate itself is in excellent condition. No denser dings on that. And the back storage area is very clean. It is very cold out today, so a little bit smoky in here. Has the power button right there. Also has full towing packet, or full size spare, with the jack tools. And press that button. It'll beep at you three times, and then it'll come on down. Also has a backup camera. And as you go down this side of the vehicle, just as clean as a passenger side, no dense, no dings, no scuffs, no scrapes. Four-fold disclosure, this back rim is absolutely perfect. And very, very clean down this side. Has the chrome trimmed power mirrors with the built-in directional signals. Has blind spot monitoring, and heated mirrors.  There are no rips, there are no tears in these seats. This vehicle has never been smoked in, and is very, very clean. Factory floor mats throughout. Power windows, power locks, memory driver seat. Has the nice dark wood grain trim. Has auto headlamps. And as we hop inside here, you can see that this one only has 3,027 miles. You get the nice 7-inch TFT display. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Comes with the heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth audio controls, and information center controls on the left. Cruise controls on the right. And it does have radio controls on the back of the steering wheel. This one has the 8.4 4C radio. What that means is that it gives you Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. This one also has the factory navigation system, and it also has the backup camera. You can do your heated seats and heated steering wheel from this screen as well. You get your dual climate control down here. You can turn your backup sensors off. This is your start-stop. You can turn that off. It has a sport mode, eco mode, and stability control. Has the 8-speed automatic transmission. This one has the Quadra Track 2 system, which gives you the four-wheel drive low. Snow, sand, mud, and rock select terrain settings, and it also has a neutral feature on here. As well as downhill assist control. Factory floor mat on that side and carpeting is very nice and clean. Like I said, this vehicle has never been smoked in. Passenger seat, no rips or tears on that, and it does have a power sunroof. Up here you have the home link system for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. And it does have the assist and SOS buttons, which are features of the vehicle that you don't have to pay for. We'll take a quick look at the back seats, and then check out under the hood. The back seats are just as clean as the front seats. There are no rips. There are no tears back here. It does have the latch, child safety system, and these back seats are heated. You also get two USB jacks and a 115-150 watt plug-in. These seats do fold down for extra storage, and they go down pretty nice and flat. Gives you a lot of extra space to haul extra stuff. Very nice feature. Want to point out it does have the capitalist fuel fill as well, which is a very nice feature. If you've never used it, you'll love it. Never get gas on your hands again. Under the hood we have the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 motor. Engine bay is very, very clean. Runs very smooth. This Jeep has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this Jeep is 100% ready to go.

Good afternoon, Boothman City Council. This is Sharon. I'm calling in regards to, you know, like, curbside collection and that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, just around my neighborhood a few weeks ago, like, some of the curbside stuff out on the streets was sort of creeping out onto the footpath. I saw at least three or four people trying to walk along the footpath. They had to, like, go around it. Do you know what I mean? Like, a blind person or something like that, or a deaf person or something fell over or something. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's crazy. Like, and I'm just trying to, like, think of others. It's probably gonna be more than one person to stop curbside collection. I feel like you're trying to, like, you're trying to tell me, like, to protest and stuff, so... No, no, not at all. I'm not telling you anything. Please do not put words in my mouth. It's just nice. It's crazy out there. So, street names and stuff, I'm just not comfortable saying over the phone, um, because, um, you know, with privacy laws, et cetera, et cetera, and information storing and stuff. I'm just letting you know that, yeah, that what is going on is incredibly selfish from this Brisbane City Council. Don't worry. You'll be hearing from me again. Don't worry. Okay. All right. Will you take good care of it? Don't worry.
