Evangelos asks, from page 20, a Bitcoin user downloads a piece of software, for example, the Bitcoin Core client software. Evangelos' question is, what if this downloaded software is infected and serves under interest? Who is responsible to distribute software if we are talking about a totally decentralized system? How can I understand if it will be the original client software? That's a great question, Evangelos. First, let's look at how we deliver secure software to everyone who wants to use the Bitcoin Core software, or any other version of the software, any other form of Bitcoin client. Then let's look at what happens if it's not the correct software. First of all, Bitcoin is developed using an open-source model. That means there is a collaborative development process that happens in a public system. That development is happening on GitHub, which is a collaborative coding software platform. Developers from all around the world contribute changes to the code. Those are reviewed by thousands and thousands of people who each look at the code. A group of about 150 developers who work on this in a very concentrated manner, some of them working full-time on the software, all review and offer their opinion on the code. Some developers, through experience and many years of working on this project, organize all of the changes into the latest version of the software. They produce releases, and a release is simply a specific version, which includes the changes in the code. This is being reviewed in source code by many developers from all around the world. When Bitcoin was developed, a new system for building software was developed called Githian. In fact, this is an invention by the Bitcoin developers that is now used for secure software distribution across the world, and across other platforms, not just Bitcoin. Githian is a system whereby software can be built independently on multiple different platforms. The results of the software-built mechanism are called a deterministic build, meaning that the Githian system simulates the exact same platform across many different computers that build the software independently from the source code. From a specific version of the source code, they produce a binary that can be executed on different platforms. For example, 64-bit, x86 processors for use on Windows or on Linux, and those builds have a fingerprint. What Githian does is, by building the software independently on many different systems and then comparing the fingerprint, it can tell you if you are getting the exact same executable result as everybody else. That becomes one of the release builds. These are published on websites, such as Bitcoin.org, Bitcoincore.org, and other places, where individual users, developers, miners, etc., can download executables. Of course, you could also download the source code using the Githian system, or just the traditional build mechanism. You can build the executable and see what is produced. If you know you have the right source code, then through building it on your own platform, on your own computer, you can get a trusted executable. Once you have the executable, you can also do a fingerprint on that executable. You can compare that fingerprint to the published fingerprint, which are available on a number of different sites. Confirm that, in fact, you have built the exact same executable as everybody else, and you have the expected result. This ensures that when people download either the executable or the source code, they have a very dependable chain that goes back to the developers and the highly reviewed code that the developers are collaborating on. Of course, no process is perfect. What happens if your software has been compromised? Here is the other thing. If you have software that is compromised, the biggest risk is actually to your own individual wallet on that software. For example, if you downloaded a Bitcoin Core software that had malware installed in it, that will endanger your system. If you haven't used a deterministic build, or if you didn't download the software from a reputable source, you may download infected software. The thing that is most at risk there is your funds. If you put money into a wallet on a system that has some form of malware, then you are very likely to lose your money. That is what the virus is going to target. It doesn't pose a threat to the rest of the Bitcoin system. The reason for that is because on the Bitcoin network, no node trusts any other node. It is assumed that your node, when communicating with other nodes on the network, assumes that all of the other nodes cannot be trusted. It doesn't take any of the data that is sent to it at face value. It doesn't assume that the data is correct. Every Bitcoin node independently validates all of the transactions, blocks, and forms its own authoritative opinion, as to whether the nodes it is connected to are telling it the truth or not. If it finds nodes that are consistently lying to it, sending it wrong transactions, or invalid blocks, it disconnects from those nodes and stops talking to them. Every node has this defensive mechanism where it doesn't trust any other node on the network. It validates for its own authoritative perspective the transactions, the blocks, all the way back to the Genesis block. As a result, you don't need to trust that other software is doing what it is supposed to do. You don't trust that other software is doing what it is supposed to do.  We can have malicious software introduced into Bitcoin. It is hard to do because of this deterministic build process. You can essentially evaluate a chain of custody that goes from the developer source code that is widely reviewed all the way to the executable. Even if you don't validate that, the risk that that poses is primarily to your own funds and your own machine. No other node on the network will trust you. By default, we don't trust other systems. The trustless nature of Bitcoin, the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, is because it doesn't trust any other nodes on the network. How is consensus on new rules and upgrades reached, and who decides on what updates to include or reject? Our developer is getting paid to do that. Consensus on new rules and upgrades is reached in stages and at different parts of the system. Ultimately, the people who decide which upgrades get implemented are the people running nodes, and specifically the five constituencies of consensus, the five groups of people that have control over consensus. These five groups have overlap between them, but broadly speaking, they are the miners who choose what software to mine with, the merchants who choose what software to run on the nodes that are accepting payments for buying and selling commercial goods, and services, the exchanges that are running nodes and deciding what rules to accept transactions for deposits and withdrawals, and exchanges of cryptocurrency, the developers who write the software but can't force anybody to run that software, and the companies that create wallets that decide what rules those wallets will work with, and ultimately also the users who run those wallets or run their own nodes. Consensus is an emergent phenomenon, meaning that the rules emerge from the agreement of all of those parties to operate under a single set of rules, and those who deviate from the rules are punished by loss of funds. They lose opportunity, they lose profit, they lose funds directly. Developers are getting paid nowadays, because there are many companies that are willing to subsidize or fund or hire developers to work not only on their own projects, but also to work on the core protocol. But there are probably more than 400 contributors to the core protocol, for example, in the Bitcoin Core project. They are paid by a number of different companies, and many of them are volunteers. Also, you've got to keep in mind that many of these developers can get a job pretty much anywhere they want, and get paid very well for that job, so they work wherever they want to work, and on the projects they want to work. They are very independent in that way. They can't be forced to implement a change, they are not interested in implementing it. In fact, even the companies that pay them have to let them work on whatever they want to work, because otherwise they'd stop working there. Many of these developers, if you ask them, why do you work for this company, they'll tell you, I work for this company because all of the most smart people in the world that I know work for this company, too. Probably one of the best rewards for a developer, or any creative or artistic person, is to work among the best in their field, and to be able to work with the best in their field on a daily basis. They don't do it for money. How can a node running on one software, for example Bitcoin Core, communicate with other nodes running a different software? How does a miner decide which software to use? Is it common for a miner to switch to another software? That's a great question. So there's a difference between the software, the protocol, and the consensus rules, and all three matter. So you can have one piece of software, Bitcoin Core, and that has a certain implementation, but it uses the common protocol to communicate on the network, and it follows the common consensus rules. Bitcoin Core, as the reference client, tends to lead in what the interpretation of the protocol and the consensus rules is, but nobody has to run Bitcoin Core. You can run a different software. For example, there is an implementation in Node.js called Bcore, which is fully compatible in the protocol level, fully compatible in the consensus rules. There's another implementation called Libitcoin, and Libitcoin is fully compatible with Bitcoin Core in the protocol and in the consensus rules. So by speaking a common language and following the same rules, these three different clients can communicate on the same network, arrive at the same consensus as to what has happened on the network, and continue to remain within consensus by following those rules. A miner can run any one of those, for example, to do mining, and it really depends on what their preference is, in terms of scalability and code quality and maintainability and security. Is it common for a miner to switch to another software? Not really. Part of the reason for that is because Bitcoin Core has demonstrated an extremely high level of quality, with very well-tested software that's tested not only by the developers, but of course by everybody else who's running it, and very high standards for code maintenance and security updates, which means that a miner switching to another software, they can of course do that, if they believe that the other software will be better maintained, deliver better quality code or more secure code than the Bitcoin Core project. So far, that doesn't seem to be happening. Most miners use, I think all miners, in fact, use Bitcoin Core because it's proven to be the most reliable software out there.


Hello, everyone. Welcome back to JSA TV and JSA Podcast. We are live here at DCD Virginia in beautiful Leesburg. We are covering the latest stories, trends, and innovations in the digital infrastructure industry today. I'm Candace Sipos with JSA, and I am joined today by Dave Sterles from Hitachi Energy. Welcome, Dave. Thanks, Candace. Good to be here. Yeah. We're so happy to chat with you. You actually, I think, just ran over here from the panel that you just got off of. Exciting day when we had a panel on the future of on-site generation and data centers, which is becoming more and more important, of course. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. If you could just, for anybody who may not have been able to make the panel or might not actually be here today watching, tuning in remotely, could you give us a quick overview or maybe one top takeaway from the panel? Well, I think a couple of things are changing in on-site power. For years, we had depended on diesels for good reason, energy densities there, they're reliable, they work. Now, we're looking more at sustainable power. We're also looking at not over provisioning. Those two things together make for a really interesting landscape of what we're going to use and then the why is changing because data center loads are changing and projected to change significantly with the advent of AI and more dependence on machine learning. Okay. Excellent. We're definitely going to get into AI here in a minute, so we're excited for that. There's so much talk about the demands for power. We keep hearing about that, especially here in Virginia. It's such a critical challenge right now, and ideally sustainable power really. So that's the key. So what is the number one change in your opinion that the industry needs to make in order to keep up with demand sustainably? Yeah. I think what's changing is, first of all, we need to understand a couple of things. We need to be a partner with the grid rather than the energy provider, the utility company, rather than just a consumer. So that's changing significantly. We also need to be able to, the old adage, you can't manage what you can't measure. We need to understand where our power is coming from.  But we're also the first ones that have put in the PPAs and built the solar plants and things to help offset our carbon, offset our dependence on coal, or whatever. Yeah. So I think that that is really what is changing. Yeah. Interesting. Partner to the grid. I like that. And so we promised we would talk a little bit about AI, which is of course another one of the key topics. You can't have a conference like this anymore without getting into AI. So it's part of nearly every conversation it feels like these days. So how do you think the industry will really be talking about this next year? Where is the conversation headed? Yeah. I think from what we've seen so far, and again, to your point, we're very, very early. It's not yet industrial scale. It looks like the low profile is changing significantly. So we're going from basically a flat load to something that's going to be much more variable. And with that, all of a sudden, it's what I talked about before, the reliance on the grid needs to be more of a partnership because you're going to have to really anticipate these loads and how to really, for years, data centers were the ideal customer. They had a flat load. And now with variable loads, that's tough for the grid. It's tough to spin up assets quickly. And will on-site generation take a portion of that? How is that going to work? So I really think that conversations as we go from pilot sites to production sites is going to be incredibly important. And to do that sustainably is going to be a real challenge for the industry. And one of the things I like about the industry is we keep getting these new ideas, new changes and new ways to think about it. So it's always, always interesting. But yeah, we're going to put some heavy roll up our sleeves type work coming for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Well, that feels like a good place for us to wrap things up. Thank you so much for joining us, Dave. Thank you, Candice. Pleasure to be here. Thank you. And thank you viewers for watching JSA TV, live here from DCV Virginia. Happy networking.


Hey it's Coach Band from buildmysportsbiz.com. Today I want to show you how to grow your basketball training business between 5 and 10k per month. The first thing that you have to understand is if you want to get to that level you have to remove yourself from the mentality of having this side hustle, this thing that you're just doing you know every once in a while and you have to look at what you're doing with training as a real business. Obviously there's hundreds and thousands of basketball trainers now around the world around the US that are specializing in just training and they're doing that as a business and you can do the same thing but how do you get to that level where you can be creating 5 to 10k a month. This is what I'm about to show you is the easiest way to do it right so you are a great trainer you understand that you can help kids you know that you can help a lot of kids in your community but how do you take that idea and turn it into a real business that creates money month after month and if you watch our other videos here on YouTube I'm really big on subscriptions. I don't like doing anything where I'm selling packages or I'm selling one off training programs that does not work long term. What I'd rather you do is have a select group of clients that you work with throughout the whole year this way you can hone in on giving them the best possible results right a lot of this is going to come down to pricing but I'm going to give you a very simple pricing model to follow here and if you do the numbers here you could be anywhere between 5 to 10k a month depending on the amount of clients that you have right so if you're like me you don't want to work all day training right if you work all day training you're going to get burned out I like to do things very easy way right so here's how this is set up let's say you have a program that is $400 per month it's a private training program or it could be even a group training program to me it doesn't matter right if you have it set at $400 a month you need to just do the math there and think okay well how many clients do I need to get to 5k per month right so you take 5k divided by 400 there right there you have the amount of clients you need in order to get to that level and the same goes for 10k and that could be all set up the same way with camps and clinics and I had another video it went out a couple weeks ago I talked about with the camps and clinics you don't want to do that as just one-off camps and clinics you want to turn that into a subscription as well so you could have you know let's say you got 50 kids that come to a one-hour clinic once a week and you have maybe three or four other coaches and you charge 150 or 200 dollars per month for those 50 kids well right there you're looking anywhere between 5 and 10k a month easy by just having that set up and that could be one night a week right so again this is not about just trying to pack the gym trying to get as many sessions as possible it's about doing simple math and understanding what it is that you value packaging that together and selling it selling it every single day right and when we think about private training this has been something that I've specialized in the last eight or nine years with soccer I show coaches how to take and package together their training services and look to sell long-term committed training programs to clients who are going to be committed for years I'm not talking about just for a couple months because if you have committed clients you don't need to worry about finding new clients every month having those committed clients is going to allow you to run your business with ease that is the exact same way I show coaches how to do in our mastermind and I would love to chat with you over the phone sometime this week if you're free for 10 or 15 minutes I would love to see how I can help you out all you have to do is go to my website go to buildmysportsbiz.com go to the middle of the page I have a button there it says mastermind click on that I have a free phone call that's set up we'll talk for 10 to 15 minutes we'll see how we can help you out if we can help out I would love to help you grow your business I love to help you grow your private training your group training your camps and clinics through a very specific way we show coaches how to market themselves so that's it for this video thanks again for watching I'll see you next time


Good morning, everyone. Welcome to join this session. How about your summit so far? How about the lunch? How about the party on Tuesday? Today, my topic will work you through how to use the open-step variance, this project to compose hardware resources on the fly. So this is joint project Intel and 99 Cloud work together and many other vendors who are working on the variance project. Today, first of all, I will introduce the data center challenges today. The dramatically data increase and cross our data center have much challenges on handle this data and process this data. And then I will introduce the Intel Red Scale Design Technology. Third, I will talk about the variance project which is announced last summit in Barcelona. And fourth, I will talk about the use cases, typical use cases of when you are using variance can help us address what kind of problems. At last, I will show you some demos. Digital transmission driving the data center scale out. According to the survey and investigation by 2020, there will be 50 billion connected devices. So the data center have to have the responsibility and capability to process this data. And a lot of business, they will grow up including the AI and IoT, such kind of new business. And industry will have to use the data center to help us to analysis this data, which means the data center cannot use the traditional technology to help us to process this data. Because when we process data, we will require more flexible and low-cost agility to process those data to implement the AI in our business. For example, some financial industry, they have very high frequency trade. And they need a fault detection. So that is a real-time fault detection. In the traditional data center, they will do it in some offline process and analysis the result maybe in minutes or in several hours. But in the future, we will like to detect the fraud maybe in seconds. And from the life science perspective, the genomic research, we will like to analysis all the people, gene data in the data center and help us to detect cancer, maybe some pain in your genomic data. And the government have a lot of data in their data center. They do not know how to use it. And by having more agility in our data center, we can provide those capabilities to government help them to improve our normal daily life. So with the growth of the cloud and the AI analysis requirements, the data center have to transfer with more agility data center. The open solutions will help us to accelerate the piece of the innovation. So the business, just I mentioned, the business needs to reduce the operational and capital expense and help us to deliver new business in minutes or in seconds. Optimize the data center according to the telemetry data. And in real-time analysis, just like I mentioned, the financial banking, they are using the data to do the fraud detection and address the application which the workload needs more agility. I can give maybe an example here.  When they first launch, they do not know the demand of the application. Maybe in several hours, a lot of people seeing this application are very interested. They will log into the application and buy things in the online commercial platform. So the requirement will huge increase. They will need our infrastructure to increase, scale out very quickly, maybe in seconds, to fulfill this requirement. If your infrastructure fails to do that, then you will lose the customers. And when we scale out the infrastructure, we cannot interrupt our services. Because when some, currently the data center technology has the capability to scale out, but it's not so smoothly. We have some downtime in minutes or in some hours to implement the scale out. But in the future, our data center must have the capability to scale out very smoothly without interruption when you put in more data hardware or storage network resources into the data center. So the data center are facing significant changes to trying to meet the demands of the exploration of the data. And the continuous connectivities to the platform for real-time mobility and flex and enterprise management is very important. The current market trend indicates that the servers are still under very low utilization. For example, in China IT industry, the CPU utilization normally may be below 50% off. And with the data increase very quickly, how can we reduce the TCO by increasing the utilization? And so we can avoid more capital expense in our investment. So how can we resolve these challenges of data centers? I think in the key notes, Mark has given us signals about the future involvement. That's the composable infrastructures and cloud-native applications. I believe you guys hear the composable infrastructure. I don't know if you understand. I think from my perspective, it means both software and hardware. From the software perspective, which means the open-step project that must support the composable capabilities, you can get the ironic or get the neutral, they can run standalone with other open source, you can compose them together to fulfill your requirements. That is the composable from the software perspective. How about from the hardware perspective? Right now, when we scale our infrastructure, we have to purchase more servers, more storage, more network devices, and put them into the data center. And we have some workers that help us to set up the devices and connect all the cables and test the power if we're okay. If we have such a capability platform, we can just call an API, all those hardware resources can compose them together. That would be great, right? From my perspective, I think the future infrastructure, including software and hardware, they are all composables. After we have the composable infrastructure, then we can implement our cloud-native application beyond them. Eventually, we will have our application to implement their agility, and they can scale out very smoothly with our interruption when we put more hardware resources into the data center. I think the Intel RISD is such kind of hardware technology to help us to consider all the compute storage and networking as disaggregate resources, and then all the disaggregate resources can be composed on the fly to meet various needs in the data center or cloud environment. The disaggregation in addition to the following hardware refresh at different rates for each storage compute and networking, they support more efficient resource utilizations. Imagine a cloud which has the capability to compose those hardware on the fly, then you can grow a shank to meet the usage very quickly and without interruption. So, the RISD technology, they provide the four significant values, flexible, manageable, and economic and open. What's flexible? Flexible means you can create a very dynamic to config and customize systems or a server to meet the requirement. For example, if I would like to do a normal ID hosting, I maybe just need a server with several CPUs, maybe 100 gigabyte memory and 100 gigabyte storage, but if my business grows up, I need to analyze the user behavior in my application. I would like to add more servers with the GPU devices, so I can do the user behavior analysis on the GPU. So, at that time, one option is I have to purchase more GPU with more servers, right? But with the possible flexibility, if I have a GPU pool, then I can just hop out the GPU to the existing servers, let the server have the capability to do the AI things, right? So, that's what the flexible means. For the manageable value, it will help with the with the API, we can manage the hardware resources, very convenient to manage the hardware resources, and we can tackle the hyperscale complexity with the powerful and modernized API-based software. That software will also help us to discover inventories, compose, and monitor to the telemetry in those hardware. It's a unified hardware platform to help us to do the operation, reduce the operation efforts. And because of the flexible and manageable value, we can reduce further our TCO, so we have saved a lot of money. And what's more, the API standards is based on the Redfish API. It's an industry standard. It's a very open standard, and a lot of companies contribute to that API aspect. So, with the RSD technology, it will help us to evolution the data standard in the future, saving our money and increase the utilization and help us to provide more performance, optimize our data center to the applications. Today's data center, they are still built on the traditional architecture, where they take days and weeks to provision new services. And especially when we launch a totally new business, we have to take weeks to purchase the hardware. But with the RSD technology, we can compose the hardware we need in minutes. So, let's take a look at the software management foundation. At the bottom, we can see it's the compute resources, storage resources, and network resources. And beyond is the RSD components. It consists of two, majorly two parts, the PSME management engine. It will help us to control the port, the red drawer, or slats. And the PSME is fully described all the disaggregated components in its domain. And the RMM, it will describe the red level spec data for power and thermal. For the orchestration layer, we can integrate the technology with a lot of cloud technology, such as OpenStack is one of the typical cloud solutions. We have announced the Valence project, which is one of the OpenStack Big 10 projects to talk with the port manager with RSD API to control the PSME further to control the compute resources, storage, and network resources. All the port manager, it will expose the red fish API, which is an industry standard API to help us to control. So, the OpenStack, he will use the red fish API to talk with the port manager. I don't know if you guys know about what's red fish. Can you show your hands if you heard about it? Grace? Red fish actually is DMTF, the distributed management task force standard capable of managing multi-node service API specifications. The goal of the red fish is to replace the IPMI or overland that technologies will help us to control all the hardware and collect the data from such as the thermal or fan or some sensor data. We can all use the red fish to control and get the data. All the devices, all the devices implement the red fish API can be controlled in the OpenStack Valence project because Valence project is implement this, use the standard red fish API to control it. It's schema-based and human readable. I will show a demo later on. You can see how we can talk with the RSD by using the red fish API. Let's show you what's Valence. Valence is OpenStack Big 10 project. It's a collection of software which supports the consumptions of the RSD resources in the cloud. It can integrate, it provides the Valence API, which is a Python-based demo based on the flex framework to expose the REST for API. The API service communicates with the pod manager through the red fish specification. We also have implement a Python Valence client, provide the client CLI command line to help you to interact with the RSD. We also have implement several plugins to help other projects in OpenStack such as the ironic horizon. They can control the RSD resources. In the end, I will show you a demo how we can use Ironic to control the RSD servers. Valence also supports the horizontal scalability by managing multiple pod managers. This is the architecture of the Valence. You can see Valence currently has a very simple web UI. You can use the web UI to compose node and use it as a normal server. The web server will talk to the API controller. The API controller will use the REST for API interface to talk with the RSD. We also support to integrate with the deployment tools. In our case, 99 Cloud has built our deployment tool based on Cora. In the demo, you can also see how we can deploy the OpenStack over Cloud by using the Cora with RSD. In the end, you can see we also have plugins in Ironic. Currently, we implement it. We have the driver in Ironic to talk with the RSD. The general workflow of the Valence is that user can use the Valence client to compose a node from the RSD resources. He will turn a composed node to the user and the user will enroll it in the Ironic. Ironic can take control of the node and we will control its power. Then we can use the Ironic to deploy OS in that node. After the user finishes the node, he can release the node from the Ironic. The user can release the node from the RSD by using the Valence client. There are three typical scenarios about using the Valence. First is you can use the Valence standalone with several, for example, with your deployment solutions to perishing under clouds, which means you have a seed cloud. It contains the Valence and your deployment solution. Valence will help you to compose the node. After you finish the composition, you use your deployment tool to deploy several clouds in your data centers. In the 99 Cloud, we combine the Valence and Cora together. We can use the Cora to deploy the node's resources. It's returned by Valence. Also, after you finish the cloud deployment, you can, in your cloud, the main page, you can also integrate Valence in your Ironic. The Ironic can manage the bare metal which is composed by the Valence. The third is about the storage provision. In the RSD 2.1 API, it will support the dynamic approved NVMe provision. So we can just call RSD API through the Valence. It will help us to compose NVMe storage and hop up to the server we need. And then we can use it as bare metal in our cloud environment. So it's demo time. I will show you some demo video. First one is from the command line style. You will see how we can use the command line to compose node and use the Cora to deploy over cloud in our environment. Okay. First, we will source the keystone and then we will use the Valence client to compose a node. We delete the existing node first and then we compose one. When you compose a node, you need to input the memory, CPU and storage unit for the node. And in this case, we compose a node with memory 4GB and storage 50GB storage. It will help us to select a node for us. And then we will show you the Redfish API. You can see from the Redfish API spec to see we already composed a node. This is the schema of the Redfish. And the node is using the remote disk target in the RSD. And then we will hand over the composed node to Ironic. So we can use the Ironic and Cora to deploy all in one open stack in that target node. First of all, we have to enroll. After you enroll the node, Ironic will take over the node. He will, first of all, Ironic will sync the power status of the node. So this one actually is, you can regard it as a seed cloud. We can manage the bare metal which is just composed from Valence. And in this seed cloud, we can deploy it. You can see there is a new hyperwriter shows in that table. And we can launch that, launch a new instance. Eventually, it will install CentOS in that composed node. And we will pass some script into, when it boot up, it will be installed as another open stack cloud. We will pass some initial script. So it's another real web. When the Ironic take over the node, it will reboot the system and load the kernel and RAND disk. We can pass it very quickly. And after the system is reboot, we get the system from the Ironic. We will use Cora to deploy the system as overcloud. So after the deployment, you can raise it overcloud. So this is two different open stack cloud. This is for the demo when you use the command line. I will show you another integrate with our GUI. So our GUI is use the Valence client to implement, to talk with the RSD. So you can see we have one pod manager in our environment and one compute services. You can see the status in our dashboard. We can also add other pod managers which help to scale out the horizontal scale out. Sorry. So you will see the online one is offline in the GUI. And you can also see how many nodes you have composed in your pod manager. And if the node is exposed to the Ironic, which is take over by Ironic. We can compose a node by a wizard. This process is actually similar to what you just saw in the command line. You will input the name of the node and input the course, memory, disk size. So in the export action, you can hand over the node to the Ironic. So the following process is similar to what you have in the last demo I just saw. You can find the node in the hypervisor. There will be a new bare metal hypervisor show up in the hypervisor tab. And you can deploy it by using the Nova Lunge instances. Okay. I think this is all the demo I just showed. Any questions you have? Any questions? Could you please clarify RSD is a product that's available now? Is that something Intel is providing now? Yes. It's providing now. Actually, several hardware vendors, they are providing RSD comparable hardware servers such as the Ericsson and Innspar, Huawei, as I know. And for software vendors, they also have their solutions to manage the RSD. And from the OpenStat ecosystem, Valence is the project to help to interact with the RSD API. And you can also use the standard Redfish API to talk with the RSD. And what are the special hardware requirements to be supportive of this from a hardware perspective? Actually, it's a standard RAC server with some hardware control plan inside. Like I just showed you the PSME and RIM, that kind of component you have to install in your hardware so you can enable the RSD functions. Of course, with the RME or some GPU provision functions, you have to have your hardware support such as the PCIe switch, the type of devices. Any other questions? Okay. Thank you today.


Today we're opening a $75 legendary collection versus a $30 mystery box. What's up guys we're back with another epic video. Today we're doing another versus between legendary collection Joey and the monster box mystery box. I don't even know what they really go for. They go for 30 originally. I'm not sure if they've gone up very much because they are fairly new but they're one of my favorite mystery boxes. First we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away a misprint obnoxious Celtic Guardian. This is normally a secret rare but it's an ultra rare with secret lettering very cool as well as a slate warrior and a mask of restraint. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, let me know what you think will win. Will it be the legendary collection or the mystery box? Usually it's the legendary collection but let's see if the mystery box can get an upset. We are going to start with the legendary collection and speaking of giveaways if you guys have not checked the community tab go check it because I've been announcing the winners of each giveaway every single week and almost everyone has been claiming the prizes which is unusual probably because I'm actually doing it you know pretty consistently and not two months later so I'm going to continue to try and do that and if you want to go check that out go check out the community tab. Legendary collection is usually more consistent in terms of what we actually get so we get of course the blue flame swords and we've opened three of these recently so we're actually gotten some pretty awesome stuff so let's see if we can continue that. Five mega packs and the game board under this. Also on Friday marks one year of daily uploads and including live streams and all that stuff that counts as an upload but one straight year so I'm thinking we do something pretty cool I don't know if you guys are interested in something pretty cool maybe you just want a regular old basic video you know but let me know in the comments if you guys want to see something crazy on Friday something fun to celebrate one straight year of videos it's a long time 365 days let me know let's get into this adhesion travel dark dust spirit wall shadow the monster tamer we have a legend zoo himself which is just a rare let's see I think it's an ultra next and the heartbeat dancer this one is not great to get the lost art promotion so he got a little bit of a better version there and then we have see career vanilla 1700 we've pulled this like every single time we open this we get the snow at least once sometimes twice okay that's kind of weird then we got a harpy lady one and a baby Sarasaurus cool card for the dino deck okay so we are starting off with a car that I have pulled every single time so let's see if we can pull something else cool I mean I'm down to repeat a lot of the polls that we got last time because it seems like we get a lot of good cards last time it was three so let's try this never mind it was supposed to be two somehow it's different I'm not sure how let's just do two next time we got a super rare right off the bat red eyes be chick is always very nostalgic for me it's not great but it's like oh wow you can get red eyes out for free you know what I mean try back in the day it was cool giant trap hole we've got the tribute doll dangerous machine type six of a dice jar this is probably actually worth a little bit because I think the PGD version is like three dollars beast of tau war very cool trade in oh this is a nice version actually ultra rare trade in cool for those blue eyes decks you love it and usually spells are pretty good right gacky no another gateway to dark world looks like they really want us to play a dark world deck okay we did the super early three more packs then we have that monster mystery box which usually actually have some pretty old packs and I'm not like crazy old but I mean they do have like some reprint packs and they have like sometimes duelist alliance which is pretty exciting so if we could get that that would be pretty cool let's do two this time not mess it up berserk the dragon the spear from the dark okay false excavation the graceful dice joey wheeler we got a deal with dark ruler okay another got one of those imperial iron wall this was an in an OTS reprint and I think it was worth a couple bucks that's probably a good pull ooh a compulsory evacuation device these aren't huge money but they're really nice for formats like goat format and stuff and I guess does Edison use this I'm not really sure but it's just a very nice secret rare harpy lady two okay we'll take that necro valley another good card that's been printed a lot and has like 12 different erratus two more packs and then we get into that monster box all right and if you guys enjoy these versus videos where we do like

loves the dark world so far we are but three out of four on secretaries being dark dark world dealings I mean it's a good card for sure but it's just weird we're getting all dark world stuff all right what are we gonna pull this time will it be uh graph a dark world I'm just kidding I don't think that's in here but it'll be something of dark world that's for sure we can almost guarantee it oh what

vampire lord grave keepers priestess okay will it be a dark world card no it's a harpy queen we got a couple harpy cards harpy queen's cool and will this be a dark it could be scapegoat okay we got this last time I think this is actually a very good one because that's just a pretty version because the ultimate version is kind of some people don't like it it looks a little bit weird and then of course the retro package is impossible to find so yeah oh now we're gonna ego test so we're either getting harpsies or dark world all right on to the monster box inside we could get invasion of chaos last time we did get dimension of chaos I think secret forces there's duals alliance flames of destruction just so many cool cards or should I say sets that we could pull let's see if we can pull a lot of them I think there's nine packs yeah nine packs one legacy pack is that 10 total or is that just I can't remember I think I say this every time is it nine total packs or 10 total packs not really sure I guess we're gonna find out let's start off with oh that I think that's our legacy pack like to go over lord last time we pulled the cover card so let's see if we can do that again in ghoster I think I still need this in ghoster unlimited so this would be pretty big this also is probably a euro pack just based on how it feels we have a what I want to do the uh three from the back let's do that let's do ceiling ceremony of a raton evil sore darwino the wacky magic watt tail dragon falling current bootin gaga gardener we pulled it again neo galaxy high spoke to hundred that's literally back to back times we've pulled galactic overlord out of a monster box and pulled the cover card in ultra rare that's kind of weird like really really weird we will take that though that's an amazing pull and it looks really good in ultra rare as well I don't need it for my binder because obviously we already pulled it last time but that is still amazing you love to see it's not crazy value but cover card man that's awesome the cover card out of like a 10 year old set that's pretty amazing oh fusion enforcers you guys know allister the invoker I've told the story many times but when I was opening every pack I had I was trying to get first edition of everything I've got all my packs together the night before I delayed the opening several times because I realized I was missing something I was like oh wait I don't have fusion enforcers and I think I needed like cybernetic horizon or something else I went and bought a ton of these monster boxes to get fusion enforcers it was unlimited but I was like it's fusion enforcers who cares that was before I realized the greatness of allister the invoker let's go let's see if we can pull him let's see if we can pull anything from these from the invoked deck oh invoked cockatis who will take that it's not one that people usually play but it's still a pretty good card for sure all right can we get anything like super rare allister predator plant this card was so annoying in the auction series lone fire blossom and battle fusion okay those are very warped but we did get the invoked cockatis very cool all right that was cool let's see what we can get next shining victory see look look at all these packs if I'm like 2016 2017 I mean just ancient at this point so it's so fun to open these if you guys have some monster boxes you want to hit me up with let me know we got the formal pal fire flanks and a more phage wrath digital bug gendo bug emergency red eyes tuned dragon that's actually a pretty good super rare very cool red eyes tuned dragon we'll take that putting up a fight this time because it wasn't the best joey's world box we're starting to pull some good stuff out here I think monster box might have a chance at this rate oh legend of blue eyes it wasn't our legacy pack I guess that this counts as the legacy pack legend of blue eyes white dragon we could pull the blue eyes white dragon if we do that we will win power of kaishin oh I'm gonna win either way because they're both mine but what I chill dragon mystical sheep number two all the root water umi I did this the pack trick wrong oh well you Robbie curse of dragon another good pull spirit of the harp and dark gray we have another hit for the monster box wow this is like they're putting up a fight does actually have a chance we still got several packs left let's see what else oh dark saviors cool set cool set let's see what can we pull a secret right at the front it seems like they always are so I'm just gonna assume and do that either it's gonna be that one or the second to last vampire familiar cool card arm I need this arm again night in a hollow version I only had the common version for my um Edison deck so that's awesome I'm gonna put that aside eagle booster I just bought this X there's like a 20 cent card for my dark magician deck okay that's a big pull widow anchors like 20 bucks okay okay I think the mystery box has a chance guys widow anchor that's actually a huge pull and that's actually nice because a lot of people splash in that sky striker engine to a lot of decks and so I only have one widow anchor so I keep having to move it back and forth so now I've got two that's awesome this is insane like this monster box is so good and there's like actually a few packs left all right ash blossom we're gonna

rucks and special past the marbles true dragon apocalypse the spiral wave spring came dark worm primal cry zed frat okay that's just a super and the performable pal sky pupil we finally didn't pull

of here for the every pack opening almost two years ago at this point which is pretty crazy if you think about it can we pull the boreal sword we pulled it several times actually it's a kind of crazy because we have not opened a lot of these packs always out of these like mystery boxes ruin angel of oblivion not the queen the angel with the link turret psychic ace breaking the world beast magic attack oh cyber dragon hurts okay an ultra version I think this oh an overflow that's a cool card as well I think this comes in the structure deck as maybe a super or something two more packs no three wait three more how many packs have we opened this is an error flames of destruction ghost ogre and imperme that's what we're looking for we pulled imperme out of what was it like one blister or something or one pack yeah one pack that somebody gave me that was insane alter guys emula emula okay flower cardian mandrake three trolling trolls classic card trick star nightshade red-haired hasty

How do gamers make their YouTube videos? Here's a full guide. In this video, I'll be showing you how I and other gamers edit their YouTube videos. And I will also show you guys how gamers can improve their content. Now here are the major steps in making a good quality video. 1. Planning the video. 2. Filming gameplay. And from your webcam. 3. It's editing. And 4. It's publishing it on YouTube. First is planning, and this depends on your channel. So if you have a gameplay or montage channel, search up songs or put your favorite clips in one video. First, normal gameplay videos don't do well on YouTube because they're pretty boring. And I suggest you to go with a montage style or talk in your gameplay instead of just showing it. The easiest channels to grow on YouTube if you're in gaming are tutorial or news type of content. This is the word you talk about games, bugs, updates, or show YouTube viewers how to do something in game. This is a very easy way to start and find video ideas because games always have something new every once in a while, and it's pretty fun to research more on games so that you can know what is new. These channels plan their videos by recording and researching what they found, adding gameplay or videos on the new updates, and posting them on YouTube. Now that you found what topics you want to talk about or what game you want to play, the next step is recording it. If you have a gaming PC, you can use OBS, or if you have a GPU like Radeon or Nvideos, you can use their screen recorders. Windows has one too, and it's pre-installed.  And I'm sorry, but I think you can only post montages or gameplay videos. For mobile, you can use the default screen recorders for iPhone or Android, but you can download what was actually pretty good for editing videos because of all the video editors out there. Check out Dminin's channel if you are into mobile video editing, but even though they're not as advanced as PC editors, it still gets the job done. For console, I think you can only put clips and music and not all the extra PC features that it can get. So while you're editing, you're making a montage let's say, put all your clips in one video editor and place them side by side. I'm going to use Shotcut as an example because most people think it's the easiest video editor to learn, and that's what I use. So just put the clips side by side so you can use the transition tool and add all these transitions. If you do updates on games, search up the update and its patch notes or screenshot the new thing that changed in-game. You can also edit it to make it on top of the gameplay. Or if you're testing a new item out in-game, or you're using an item in-game and you want to record the gameplay, use that. Some tips for gaming editors are to trim out all the times that you're in a boring place in-game. Like if you're just running for 30 seconds, no one wants to see that and they're probably going to click off. So cut that out. If you have a mic, make sure people can hear you over your gameplay so you have to adjust the volume in each clip of your video editor. Also, adding a part of the best clips in the beginning of the video will make your viewer engaged and want to stick to the end. So if you get that like final kill or something, that could be a good hook or intro. The final step is to publish your video, and what you want to do here is come up with a title that fits your video. I wouldn't exceed more than 60 characters because people can see the whole title. Include a bright and colorful thumbnail too because gamers like all that. This video isn't meant for someone who wants more views, but if you're interested in that, stretch it up and you'll see a ton of channels related to getting more views. If this helped, leave a comment telling me and I'll most likely reply. If you want to learn more about gaming or you just want to know more about games, subscribe. I post videos weekly and you'll be missing out on a ton of things you might want to know about gaming. Thanks for watching and let's have a discussion about this in the comments below.


Hi, I'm Shona. Hi, I'm Josh. I'm Rycard. Hi, I'm Charlotte. I'm Charlie. My name's Ty. Hi Emily And these are my first impressions of Vicky My first impressions of Vicky was that she is this I mean like really fit and she's also all banter So it's a good blend. She has absolute energy and motivation and you can see she's really passionate about what she does now with fitness She's really good fun Good bubbly energy.  True Jordy, through and through. Vicky is one of the quickest people. Yeah She's got the quickest humor like something that comes out. Bang She's got a reply straight away, which is what I love. I've known Vicky a few years already She's really driven. She's confident, bubbly, great girl to work with. Yeah She was very like happy and in your face and then actually just really professional and wanting to get stuff done The Vicky that I met is totally different from the Vicky that I've seen on Jordy's Shore, which was a pleasant surprise I know Vicky from way back sitting on my couch at home going WTF is this Trump I had watched Vicky when I was young when she was on Jordy's Shore Drinking away living the unhealthy lifestyle and she's made a complete new turn. I couldn't believe how fit Vicky's become She's got muscle definition. She's got aerobic fitness. She's looking amazing Working with Vicky was great. She's really motivational and she's full of this energy that absolutely makes people believe that they can do What they want to do. She's a huge inspiration.  She's awesome Her one-liners that you'll see in the show will really crack me up the thing she says to get people motivated You want to be able to take your top offered cream fields and swing around your head? That's for men not women They're just they're hilarious. You can see the funny side. You can see the strict side You know when she tells you you need to start training, you know game is on she's such a big buzz for everyone around her She really brings up the best in everyone Vicky loves a catch freeze. All right pets pet.  You've got to shock the oysters of life. Why I man I'm gonna go over there and do some spots like why I man. I can't do it Vicky's Instagram is amazing. I think because she's always encouraging people to get fit to get strong She's obviously working hard for her body and she's flaunting it. She looks amazing in the bikini She keeps delivering those lovely selfies.  You will get haters regardless But end of the day if you don't promote their body transformation and no one's gonna know what a story is and how to do it This is the whole point of this show is to prove to people you can get in shape by doing this


Hey guys, I wanted to do a little video on what it's like to be a nurse during COVID-19. Little kind of, I don't know, information. I am an ICU nurse and I'm in the state of Arizona, which fortunately has not been hit as bad as some of the other parts of the country. And so I kind of want to share what my experience has been like. And just so you guys know, I know that there are other places where it's been so, so, so much worse. So by me talking about my experience, I am not like ignoring the fact that I know that it's worse other places. So just know my hearts with you guys. I know that we are on the front lines of this and it's been really, really, really, really tough for some people. I also want to kind of open up the discussion in the comments below for you guys to share your experiences about COVID-19 because I know it's been just so different every single place. I would have never thought that like in the United States where we have so many resources and like amazing doctors, amazing like scientists and researchers that we would be having this problem, which is just crazy. But anyways, let me jump into my experience. So I remember the very first patient I took care of that had COVID. Actually at the time we were ruling it out and the tests were coming back like in five to seven days, which was just nuts. But they were like on all the precautions of it. And I just remember how like weird it was as a nurse to like first walk into this room because you hear everything on the media talking about this virus and pandemic and how scary it is in New York. This is happening in Italy. This is happening in China. It's happening. And then I was almost naive to the fact that it eventually would show up like on my own like home turf in the hospital where I was at. But I remember the very first patient that they're like this patient could have COVID. And so I remember just getting all like geared up and walking in and feeling almost like this like eerie feeling of like, is this even real? Like it felt kind of like a movie. Like you see something going on in one area and you just don't picture yourself being that situation. And all of a sudden you're there. So it was very strange at first. And the more that I've like taken care of COVID-19 patients, feel like less scared I am of it. And honestly, like I'm not even scared of it anymore. I was telling people because so many people were like, aren't you nervous to take care of people that have COVID? And I'm like, honestly, I feel better about taking care of patients that have COVID because I'm on all the precautions.  But a patient may be on a different floor for several days and suddenly they start getting respiratory symptoms and they're like, oh, let's rule them out for COVID and they come to us. And this whole time, like they've been unknowingly exposing all these other nurses and doctors and techs and RTs and everyone in the hospital. So I actually feel somewhat safer being in my unit where I know I just geared all up regardless if they are positive or rule out and I'm good to go. To be honest, we have not really had like a really big surge where we got overwhelmed at the hospital I'm at, which I'm very, very, very thankful for. We definitely like the social distancing and the quarantining and the self isolating and all that stuff really seem to help at least from what I could tell at my hospital on my end. We honestly started off really, really low census. Like our unit just slowly over time became all COVID. We had one patient that was rule out and then positive and then it was like two and then three and our unit is 24 beds and suddenly it kind of just, it never quite filled up all the way because we would get these patients in and they'd be ruling them out and if they came back negative we'd immediately transfer them to another ICU. So at first I was actually getting called off or floated a ton and I'm still actually getting floated quite a bit because we don't have as many patients on the COVID unit as maybe we do in the other ICUs. So that's been interesting. Like honestly it's, I've never thought I would say this cause like most nurses don't really like to get floated if you have a specific unit that you're with but it's actually been kind of nice when you get floated because it's just a little break from like wearing a gown and gloves and foot covers and head cover and your mask and your N95 and just being very, very diligent about washing your hands so, so, so, so much. I've also wanna kind of talk a little bit about like some extra precautions that I'm taking for my family cause a lot of people have asked me this as well. That basically I am wearing a change of scrubs at work that they're providing us and if we don't have them then I wear my normal scrubs and then I'll change into a different outfit before I go home and I'm just being very diligent about my work stuff versus my home stuff.  My husband still works in the community as an essential worker as well so we both like are being exposed to it. We have a daughter who's 19 months and we're obviously wanna be very careful what we bring home to her but we do feel like lucky and blessed that this is not seeming to affect kids to the extent that it's affecting adults so that's been kind of relieving for us is just knowing like she may get it but it's not gonna be hopefully as severe as like when an older adult gets it. And then we're just being extra cautious when we have to go out in public, mass washing our hands, all that good stuff, wiping things down when we are going out like the carts and whatnot and just wiping down our steering wheels and all those things so yeah, honestly my experience initially I felt like very, very, very anxious over this whole thing and actually made a video on it about like I was scared to be honest, I was very, very scared seeing what was going on in other places that it was going to be going on the same things were gonna be going on in my area and I for like I almost had like a pre-TSD not like PTSD for post-traumatic stress disorder but almost like a pre-traumatic stress disorder because I was so anxious it was really affecting me personally, mentally. I was more snappy, I was more emotional, I was more anxious and I was scared every time I was going to go to work that we would be out of PPE that I would not be getting support from my management or that things were gonna get crazy, crazy, crazy and luckily they have not gotten like that in our area and maybe they will but at this point it sounds like it probably won't get to that point just cause we're starting to open things up and like we have really maintained our steady flow of these patients so hopefully we'll see but I'm feeling much better about it now and I hope you guys are too I know so many of you are just like in the trenches we had several of our nurses that went to New York and coming back to them telling like their experiences and everything going on is just mind boggling so if you're in one of the areas that's been really, really hit hard my heart goes out to you because like it's nuts it's absolutely nuts but anyways I've been posting updates on my Instagram about like what my experiences like during COVID and all these things so go follow me on there make sure you're subscribed to my channel and give this video a thumbs up and I'll see you guys in my next video, bye.


Hey, it's Amfa. Today I want to show you a different kind of tool. It's not necessarily music related but it's a very useful thing to send audio from one jack server to another over a local network. Introducing ZetaNG Bridge or Zeta Network Jack Bridge. Yeah so for example right now I'm playing back this video from Olive Video Editor which uses Pulse Audio on my laptop and the Pulse Audio from my laptop sends to the network which goes to my desktop which goes to the audio interface connected over USB which goes to the monitors but it feels like it's connected directly to my laptop so it's not. But Amfa Pulse Audio has a network function on its own. Why don't you use that? Yeah yeah I hear you but this is not about Pulse Audio. It's about Jack! So what is ZetaNG Bridge? Well it's simple. It's a pair of programs one called Zeta J2N, Jack to Network and Zeta N2J, Network to Jack. These two programs allow you to send audio from one computer to another over a local network. In theory only through a cable and only for a local network but in practice I'm doing this over Wi-Fi and possibly you could also do it over the internet. So you'd probably need way bigger latency and fast networks for it to make it actually work. Man, slow down. I don't understand what you're doing. Like can you just start over and show me step-by-step how did you connect these two? Here I have T-Max which is a terminal multiplexer so I have SSHed into my desktop computer which is over there from my laptop and here is a local console on my laptop. So first I've run Zeta N2J on my desktop giving it the local IP address and an arbitrary port number I've chosen 9999. I've run it. It's waiting for the information packet and then I've run this command on my laptop Zeta Jack to Network IP address of the desktop PC the same as here and again the same arbitrary port number 9999. I've run that and the Zeta network to Jack on my desktop has received the connection from my laptop you see this is the IP of my laptop it's two-channel audio 48 kilohertz and now I can just you know place something on my laptop and as you can see there is no USB connection to this interface from my laptop but the audio is coming from the laptop this is not a remote session this is a local desktop it's going through the Wi-Fi to this box here which is connected for a cable to my PC and that PC is connected to the network to the audio interface which is connected to the monitors and you have audio from the laptop on the desktop and I must tell you the latency is freaking I don't notice it it's like it feels like it's just connected like the net the audio interface connected directly to my laptop which is not the case it's it's going through Wi-Fi not even a cable network I would probably get better results if I connected this through an ethernet port which I can do that's not a problem and I had some dropouts through the Wi-Fi network but that's to be expected I could increase the buffer there is an additional buffer if you read the manual which you always should do and I did and the manual that says you can define an additional yeah let's record you can define an additional buffer time and that buffer will help you with fuzzy network set up for example over Wi-Fi some packets might get lost if they arrive too late there will be have to be ignored but if you add an additional buffer time you will be able to overcome an unstable network connection which might be Wi-Fi it might be over the internet I don't have a way to test this over the wide area network but I would be really interested to see how it works you can also set it by default it transmits 24-bit samples so it's not the full fidelity because by default Jack runs at 32-bit float and it can also I think it can run at 64 no I think it on no no it can't but you can also transmit 16-bit integer so that's CD audio quality for something like you know playing back music on a remote machine you don't really need anything more and it will save you some throughput it's called bandwidth some so you're gonna get better better transmission less dropouts over Wi-Fi etc so yeah that's an interesting tool I've learned this actually I figured out this exists during somoi when another presenter has shown how to use that to create a network set up for for sending music to your to your amplifiers etc and what happens is it goes out to a an instance of Zeta JN J2N and now I'm like I'm rendering something on my desktop PC I can't use it to do anything else because all the RAM and all the CPU time is taken so I thought I'm gonna work on my laptop but I want to listen to music on these speakers and I don't want to disconnect my other interface from the desktop so I figured I'm gonna use Zeta network to Jack bridge works awesome anyway I hope you find this interesting and potentially useful in your work that's it thanks for watching I also want to thank all the people who support my work financially on patreon if you'd like to join them and help keep this show going please go to patreon.com slash ANFA or liberapay.com slash ANFA now go and make some music possibly sending it over a network bye ah dropout


Welcome back to my channel, I hope you're all doing really really well. Today I'm going to be bringing you five literary fiction book recommendations. I feel like I haven't done one of these five book recommendation videos in a long time and I really want to get back into doing them for you. Today I'm going to be doing a literary fiction version and then I've got a historical fiction version and a classics one and a poetry collections one all lined up as well. And if you want to go and watch some five book recommendations videos that I've done in the past, then I will link the playlist around. So jumping straight into the recommendations, the first one I have for you today is When I Hit You by Meena Kandasami. This novel follows a unnamed protagonist, a young Indian woman, when she falls in love with and agrees to marry a university professor. Once they are married it becomes clear that the marriage is much more about control and ownership for the husband rather than the partnership that the protagonist was expecting. The husband quickly starts bullying the protagonist into being his idea of the perfect wife and as our protagonist resists this ever-growing abuse it only heightens. There are trigger warnings that come along with this book including rape and physical and emotional abuse. So the structuring in this book is really really interesting and really clever. When the book opens the protagonist is already out of her abusive marriage and she explains that she wants to share her story with us, of meeting her husband to be and the few months that she spent in the marriage. But while our protagonist is in the abusive marriage she also imagines that she is writing the situation of her story as well with her playing the lead role. This is a coping mechanism for her which allows her to distance herself from the situation somewhat as well as allowing herself to feel not completely out of control. So throughout the novel we have this multiple layering technique of the protagonist narrating her own story in order to gain some kind of control over what happened and I found this technique to be really unique and really powerful. Not only is this novel brilliantly structured and generally very well crafted I also found it to be incredibly insightful and very emotionally powerful. As well as providing a commentary on a marriage in modern-day India this book is also just generally a very powerful feminist text. It explores themes of love and trust and male ego and control. Themes of politics and poetry also crop up in this book placing it really firmly in the present day and making it very relevant and culturally rich. I think this is such a powerful and fierce and beautiful book. Everything in here is executed so well. I couldn't recommend it more highly and I think more people should read this. The next book I'm gonna recommend today is Nutshell by Ian McEwen. This novel is a retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet but with the twist of a very unique viewpoint. This novel is narrated from the perspective of an unborn baby from inside the womb. It is just as bizarre as it sounds. Throughout the novel we get to hear the fetuses mother and uncle plot to kill the fetuses father in their grand decaying Georgian townhouse as well as getting to hear all of the fetuses thoughts and musings. So this novel is pretty short. It's very odd but I found it to be undeniably clever and engaging. So in one sense this book is a thriller. There is a murder planned and built up to throughout and there's definitely quite a lot of tension in here and it keeps you turning the pages. The familiar story of Hamlet gives this book a really strong forward momentum and a little nod to the original text throughout are really really nice. Although I will say that you don't need to know Hamlet that well to get on with the book. I didn't know it particularly well when I read it and I got on with it okay. But of course the standout aspect of this book is the point of view of the protagonist. Reading from the perspective of a fetus was definitely a unique reading experience for me. Your witness to what is going on in the book has no sense of sight. They cannot do anything in response to what's going on in the novel and they literally live in a uterus. The fetus is also super smart because of his mother's podcasts and radio for habits. There's mentions of philosophy and ethics in here and science and literature and history and world affairs. Of course this book is very tongue-in-cheek, it's very humorous, it's witty and intelligent and I would totally recommend this if you enjoy Ian McEwen or Shakespeare retellings. It's a pretty fast read. The next book I'm going to recommend today is The Gathering by Anne Onright. This novel is set in Dublin and it follows the story of the nine hegeti siblings who all go home to their family home for the wake of their brother Liam. So the exploration of family and family relationships is central to this novel and it is by far this novel's biggest strength. Parent-child relationships, romantic relationships and sibling relationships are all presented in here and they all come across so realistically and persuasively. Anne Onright captures family dynamics so well in this novel. While I was reading I was constantly shocked and impressed. This is the kind of book that has those passages in it that you just get, those passages that capture something so accurately and you feel like they really get something that is really specific to you. The writing is also lovely in this book, it's very beautiful in a very simple and elegant way and I think it captures the storyline perfectly. I don't really want to say much more about the plot in this one because it isn't really the point, I feel like you just need to read this novel to know what it's about. This is just such a me-book and if you love literary fiction, has lovely prose and a focus on human relationships and families then it will be a you-book as well. Anne Onright is as solid a writer as they come. The fourth book I'm gonna talk about today is Nightboat Tangier by Kevin Barry. This book focuses on the lives of two men, Maurice and Charlie, who are longtime drug smuggling partners. When the novel opens the two men are waiting at a ferry terminal in Spain for Maurice's daughter to turn up. Throughout the novel we get to witness this present-day timeline as well as learn about these two men's histories of romance and violence and betrayals through alternating chapters. Firstly the characters in here are great. Maurice and Charlie in particular are so well drawn, such interesting and believable male characters. I loved reading about their relationship with one another. It's very complex and very traditionally masculine and their dialogue with one another is great. It is so sharp and witty and just a delight to read. This book also has a really great tone throughout. It's very dark and dry in its sense of humor. There is definitely a sense of mystery and intrigue in this novel. The storylines end up piecing together to reveal why the characters are in the situation they're in. But I would say that this novel is much more about its characters and their stories and their relationships than the plot, and I think that is just right. If this book sounds interesting to you at all then definitely give it a go. Kevin Barry is such a great writer and this book provided me with a really good reading experience. And the final book that I'm going to be recommending today is They're There by Tommy Orange. This is a multi-generational novel telling the story of 12 different characters, all of Native American descent who are all planning on attending the big Oakland powwow. So once again, character is a huge focus in this novel. Throughout the book we get to focus on a recovering alcoholic, a young teenage boy who is teaching himself Indian dance for the first time through YouTube, and another young man who is dealing with the loss of his uncle, among many other people. If you enjoy novels that are told through multiple characters' perspectives, then you will absolutely love this. This is an own voices book. Tommy Orange is of Native American descent himself, and so I found a lot to learn in here. There is a lot of information about this kind of community and their traditions and their beliefs. This novel also explores a wide range of really hard-hitting and pertinent themes such as violence and identity and recovery and loss. This book definitely has more of a driving plot to it and some good pacing to it compared to some of the others on this list. The book builds up to a relentlessly fast-paced ending which really added to this idea of inevitability and feeling out of control. This isn't a perfect novel by any stretch. It definitely reads like a debut at times. There's a lot of really great groundwork in here that isn't always used to its best potential. I would definitely recommend this book. I found it to be really fresh and unique and I think more people should give it a go. So those are my five literary fiction book recommendations for you today. I hope you enjoyed hearing about them. I hope you're looking forward to me doing more five book recommendation videos again. I'm really looking forward to filming them.

It means a lot and I'll see you soon with another video. Bye!


Russia entering era of political instability. Joseph Borrell, high representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy has said that the recent weekend events indicate that the Russian state and President Vladimir Putin are weakened and that Russia may be entering an era of political instability. These developments have shown that the Russian state and Putin's personal credibility have been weakened. The political system is showing cracks. If we previously viewed Russia as a danger, as a threat, because it has the power, the ability to invade peaceful neighbors, as it did, now there is a risk due to internal political instability and the fragility of a large nuclear power. Russia used to be a threat because it was strong, Borrell said. Now it is becoming a risk because it may be entering an era of political instability and internal fragility. Borrell added. But the conclusion of our debate is clear, to continue to support Ukraine more than ever. To continue and increase support, all kinds of support, including military support, because the war is ongoing.
