In a never-ending pursuit of science, the skilled and passionate teachers at Sacramento Starbase have developed a week-long advanced robotics course for local school children. The ultimate goal of the program this week is to just really, you know, the kids. It's been a tough year for everyone and, you know, we wanted to have a really fun program for the kids where they're kind of in charge, they're taking the wheel, so we really have opened it up for the kids to try a lot of different things. Robots can go through different types of mazes so it's very open-ended and we want the kids to feel confident in taking risks with their programming, with their building, and just really feel inspired. With the right mix of science, kids, and robots, the program success is easy to observe. My favorite part was when they were hitting each other because that made it a lot more exciting. We were learning about robotics and programming robots, so like moving around, turning, reverse, all that kind of stuff. We were supposed to try and get to the middle after turning, hitting their sides, which is like the color sensor and the touch sensor. I would definitely do robotics, like go into that. I think there's no doubt like the kids are always going to remember building a robot that got to bump and battle with other robots. So hopefully it just feel really inspired and, you know, end their school year on a really high note. For the California National Guard Public Affairs, this is David Lefler.

Really awesome dual auto there. Thank you. Thank you


And in that sense the construct is asking the question, the small self that's concerned about job or family issues or abortion or capital punishment or even I'm a screwed up person.  Comparison is once again you have to have a subject object split for that and you have to get into even to compare thought forms, you have to, there is an ordering involved and with that comparison, with that ordering, then the construct then asks the questions. And those aren't real questions in the alderman sense, those are statements, it's like Statements of the construct. When I say what about my, I have a problem with my boss or I have a problem with my daughter or so forth, it's really or even the construct asking the question, what's wrong with my relationship with so and so or what's wrong with my life, really it's just the construct asking the question or another way of looking at it is the construct making a statement that it is a construct because the construct isn't seen as a construct. So this points us around full circle to defining the problem that even if the problem has been solved, how can one know that it has been solved if one hasn't been able to see what the problem is? It seems like really once that you can really see what the problem is, what seemed to be the problem doesn't seem like a problem. There is no problem. That's the fact that there is no problem. Because the only problem, well, because every perceived problem really is a belief in separation and there is no separation, is that what you're saying? And so there is no problem, there's only seeming problems. Once the construct is seen as a construct, the split is healed because there is no subject object split anymore. The problem has been seen as a problem in the mind. The split was in the mind and once it's been given up, once it's been seen as that's not the fact of it, that's not what is reality, then there is no problem. So the key idea that we opened up with about you first have to see the problem as being in the mind and once it is recognized to be a problem that the split is in the mind, not out in the world, then there is no problem. So why doesn't it seem that easy to do? I guess because the mind just doesn't want to see that it's not out in the world. The mind doesn't want to see that it's just right there in the mind. Well, let's bring it back to our conversation here and pull it away from the abstract. I mean, if it doesn't seem easy, there has to be an investment in that construct in those thought-form associations. Why is there such a strong investment in it? Because there's fear. There's fear that if I give up ordering my thoughts, if I give up this construct of who I think I am as a person, all my meanings and associations and conclusions I've reached about the world, that there will be loss involved, that it will be scary. It's somehow that this construct is serving me, that it has value to me. And it's like, why would I want to step back in the mind to see the bigger picture? Why would I want to question the construct if I still believe that it serves me? It wouldn't. There'd be no motivation. There's no point in fixing what isn't broken. So, one can say, well, that seems awful deep. It seems awful abstract. Let's bring it back to the feeling level. Do you feel complete, stable peace in your life? Is it a roller-coaster ride? Do you have emotions, fluctuating emotions, seeming times of peace and joy and seeming times of whatever, upset, aggravation, irritation, guilt, fear, jealousies, so on and so forth. Mild or major, irritation, rage, regardless of the degree, regardless of the direction. Can one start to look at one's life and honestly look at the emotions and say, gee, I don't feel a constant, consistent, stable state of peace. That there is something here that needs to be looked at. A lot of times people have said, well, you just try to minimize your demons or your vices and everything. Manage your neurosis. Just come to a sense of general unhappiness and try to manage the major crises. Is that a particular miserableness? Can we come to a point where one can start to see, realistically see the hope of completely bringing to an end all sense of upset, all sense of disorder, all sense of chaos. A phenomenal kind of proposition. To do that requires the questioning of the constructs. Requires that the mind let go of those thought-form associations. And you can't let go of them unless you see that they're there, obviously.  So the dialogue helps to uncover, disclose, expose the constructs. It helps the mind to see, oh, I thought that was me. I thought that was me, but I'm not that. To step back and to disidentify that which it thought it was. And there's just immense joy with that. I mean, it's like weights of strain, stress lifted off the mind. By holding on to the construct and the thought-form associations, it was denying its natural, abstract state, its state of freedom. And conversely, by being able to step back and disidentify from the false construct, the mind is released to its natural state and feels a stable sense of peace and joy. It takes a lot of energy to hold in place an idea of myself that's not myself.  In the early stages, it is frightening because it seems to be letting go of the ways of the world. The world teaches bigger, better, faster and more. Upward mobility, for instance, is a common-held belief. Competition, staying ahead of the competition. So you were saying that it feels kind of scary to think about stepping out of all the ways of the world that has a concept familiar? Because, once again, it gives back to the security. The construct, the mind is placed its identity in this concept. And it seems ludicrous to step out of ambition.  You know, that is a sense in the world of scarcity from within the belief system. The concept that to give up the striving and the fighting and everything, you will be swallowed up by this so-called external world that itself is a construct. Because the teaching has been that it's only by setting goals and working hard and going for it that you can get anything. That you can get your fair share, that you can stay ahead of the game, that you can keep your chin above water. And what you're saying is that when you let go of that construct or that self-concept, that you're also letting go of all those kinds of goals. You're actually replacing those kinds of goals with the one goal of being at peace. A unified goal of peace. So we're not speaking of this process of laying aside the concept as a goal less process in the sense of it has a goal. But that goal is an abstract goal, peace of mind. It is not, there is no form, thought form associated with that goal. The goal can seem to be a very, that can seem to be very ambiguous and abstract when the mind is conditioned to pursuing achieving concrete goals. Certain outcomes that are desirable in the world side. But that's in effect what it is, is the laying aside of the worldly goals for the one goal of peace.


This is the student placement introductory framework. So why do we do placements? Well, it's important for the beginning student to start their clinical journey with a placement provider who provides a safe setting, a sense of security for the student therapist, a place where they can share their anxieties, and a place where the agency of course does the assessment of clients, where they filter and match up the clients for the therapist, the beginning therapist developmentally, so the mix goes correctly. It's a place where supervision can get supported supervision, placement supported supervision, and also clinical supervision, which you may have to pay for expert, but it's in a supportive session, and also it's pivotal to the young therapist's journey. It's a place where you can network, the placement provider or the agency. It's a good place for you to start gaining mutual collegial journeys to meet fellow student therapists, and of course network within the placement providing system itself. It's a good place to think about career options, establishing contacts, mutual professional journeys, and of course getting in with the placement provider or the agency, so maybe even after the psychotherapy training is over, you've got contacts and places where you may get jobs. In terms of building self-confidence, this placement system is really good for building up professional confidence, learning professional excellence, making mistakes, and how well for professional learning. It's a safe, secure place. The placement usually is two or three placements over 100 hours.  The MIP hours and the BACP hours are 100 clinical hours and the placement, as I said, is a safe, contained environment where there's accountability and feedback between the training organisation and the placement itself. So when do we do the placements? Well, after the student applies for them, usually in the December or the November or even the January of the second year, you need to get the placement in place by the beginning of the third year. Hopefully you'll start before then. As I said, the time frame is that you can apply even a couple of months before you do the clinical endorsement. But you must really realise there's a beginning and ending of the placement and it doesn't go on forever. As I say, the number of hours, 100 hours, is what you need to do, is to go on longer with the placement provider so that you can collect more clinical experience and more hours.


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you including Justin Zellers, Pepper Geesey and Eric Holm coming up on DTNS. Google makes a room-sized machine that can do 3D avatars. Well Mark Zuckerberg's definition of open may be a little different than yours and Microsoft's getting rid of the name office. And we think it's a mistake. At least I do. This is the Daily Tech News show for Thursday October 13th 2022 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. In lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Richard Raffalino. Also in Los Angeles. I'm Lamar Wilson. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. No, you're not making a mistake. You're not wrong. Sarah Lane was supposed to be back today, but she had a thing come up at the last minute. She'll be here tomorrow. But we are here and we are ready to go with a few tech things you should know. The quick hits. Netflix announced it's basic with ads tier that launch in Canada and Mexico on November 1st. It comes to the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan, Korea and Brazil on November 3rd. And not to be left out, Spain gets it on November 10th. It costs $6.99 a month in the US and includes 720p HD, meaning the $9.99 a month basic plan that does not have ads will also upgrade to standard from standard f to 720 HD. This comes a month ahead and a dollar cheaper than Disney Plus's ad supported tier set to launch December 8th. Pricing on Netflix's ad free plans will remain the same. The company will partner with Nielsen on audience measurements. So, now we know why Netflix joined the UK's Barb ratings organization. Oh, that may all make sense now. They need the ratings because they're selling the ads. Sony and Honda announced plans to accept pre-orders for their first joint venture electric vehicle in the first half of 2025. So you're not going to get it for a while. The joint venture is named Sony Honda Mobility. That's, you know, it is what it says. Sounds great. They hope to start deliveries in the US by the spring of 2026 and in Japan in the second half of 2026. Currently no solid plans for a European launch, but hang in there. They might come together. There has yet to be a look at the planned vehicle with no mention of pricing, battery tech or range, but they have plans to take your preorder. Just please trust them. The Wall Street Journal sources say China's state-owned memory chip maker Yang Zi Memory Technologies, or YMTC, experienced a freeze in support from key suppliers in light of new technology export restrictions imposed by the US Commerce Department. Both KLA Corp and LAM Research paused support on installed equipment, pulled out staff and halted new tool installations at YMTC as a result. Sources say these sanctions could cut memory chip firms like YMTC off from upgrades, maintenance expertise and future technology they need to develop chips. Now you may remember that SK Hynex already confirmed it received a one-year exemption on these new roles and it's expected that other US and allied firms will or already have received exemptions. We just don't have confirmation on those. In some matter-related news, Samsung announced that if you own a Galaxy device, you'll be able to onboard matter-compatible devices to both its own smart things and Google Home ecosystems. This comes on top of Matter's multi-admin feature, which lets a device in one ecosystem be controlled by another. The partnership will show any devices already set up with Google Home in the Smart Things app rather than requiring each device to be set up individually. Samsung says this will simplify device sharing across apps and ecosystems on Android. Of course, that's what Matter's supposed to do. So here it is, starting to do it. Apple announced it will launch a savings account for Apple Card credit card holders in the coming months in partnership with Goldman Sachs, their longtime banking partner. This account will be used to save daily cash cashback rewards from the Apple Card. So instead of going into your Apple wallet, those would go into the savings account and users will be able to transfer funds into the accounts as well. Apple says this will be a high-yield account, but no word on what that interest rate will be. Yeah, so basically taking daily cash and putting an interest rate on it and letting you move money into it. Kind of cool. Alright, let's talk a little bit about avatars, not the James Cameron or the Netflix animated series. Explain, Rich. Yeah, so I mean, we've been talking a lot about this weekend in weeks past about virtual avatars hinting at, you know, making them more responsive to real-life facial expressions, having more photorealistic features or heck, just, you know, adding some legs to them seems to be a very popular feature ad, it turns out. But we're not only seeing the, we're not only familiar with the limits of 2D video calls, but we're kind of tired of them. So 3D chat has some appeal, even the great cynics among us, kind of sick of looking at just standard zoom calls. There has to be a better way, right? Still, do we want to throw what is essentially a helmet to get that 3D experience? Google to the rescue, perhaps. Perhaps. Last year at its IO conference, Google showed off Project Starline. It provides a holographic video chat to make it feel like a person is sitting right across from you as opposed to looking at a virtual avatar and you don't need to wear anything. You just sit inside a very large and mobile booth to get the experience. Now, the Verges J. Peters got to try it out. He said the Starline machine took up most of a small conference room, so it's not small. It was tracking him with more than a dozen cameras and sensors. He described the effect as doing a terrific job making a 3D representation of the person you're talking to. So he and the TechCrunch folks who talked about this seem pretty impressed by it. Project Starline uses a lenticular array of lenses, which is basically the same tech that the Nintendo 3DS used, except a lot more advanced, a lot more going into it. In fact, they can control the lenses and change how the lens is positioned, which the 3DS certainly couldn't do, so that it can change the display based on where you're looking. It does some eye tracking to optimize the image based on where your gaze is directed. Yeah, and like we said, Project Starline isn't new in and of itself, but it's been really limited to just booths on Google's campus for employees to use for one-on-one meetings and that kind of stuff. And it was also shown to more than 100 enterprise partners in beta testing, but at Google's campus, so they had to go there to check it out. Now Google has taken that feedback and is ready to offer Starline in an early access program, letting those partners set up their own calling booths in their offices to get a sense of more real-world challenges with the technology. Presumably, do you have an extra conference room? Salesforce, WeWork, T-Mobile, and Hackensaw Meridian Health will be among those trying Starline out. Oh, look at WeWork. Still kicking. Yeah, rumors of their death. I was saying that. Exaggerated. Still a lot of questions about Starline. How do you commercialize this? How do you monetize it? Is it just going to be for big companies? Can it handle more than just one-on-one? Right now they're just showing one-on-one. Can you get a whole group in there? Do organizations need better than good enough video calls to the point that they would want to do this? I'll start. This reminds me of Cisco in 2007, so about 15 years ago, bringing me into a specially created demo room in downtown San Francisco and showing me video calling. And it was impressive. It was a big conference room-sized thing, had lots of cameras and lighting. It really looked good. I was talking to somebody in New York from Cisco and it felt like I was talking to them. Of course, now we have that on our phones. It's called video calling on WhatsApp or FaceTime or something like that. So I'm curious if this is just something that leads the way to this technology being miniaturized as well. One element I see that could be the problem here is that lenticular display, right? Because all the sensor aspects of this, we've seen this with something, this got me thinking of the Microsoft Connect, where we went from seeing this in like Dave and Buster size like event kind of tech demos to being something that sits on top of your TV to that same tech being used to power Face ID in an iPhone where it's a 1% the size or whatever of the TV top version. So like we've seen that kind of miniaturization and, you know, and again, maybe miniaturizing the display form factor or something like that solves a lot of those problems. But yeah, that lenticular screen, I feel like that and like that real-time tracking, I don't know that's something you can miniaturize in a display, but based on the demo seeing it, that to me feels like a really interesting way to interact with someone as opposed to it's less digitally native, but more immediately familiar, right? Like the whole avatar system makes sense if you're living in this, you know, if you're living in a virtual world or you're operating in that mode all of the time. But for something like, hey, mom, sit on this bench and it looks like we're talking to each other right now.  So, you know, when my eyebrow moves that ultimately you're kind of getting to that same point either way, right? This kind of more realistic interaction. This is super interesting. It seems like it's way farther off though than, you know, what we've seen from other companies right now. Yeah. As someone who's owned both the 360 and Xbox One version, I love that you mentioned likeness to connect in a way because I think if you're going to make this portable or something like everyone can use, like it's really about a device that size or that accessible to the average person because when I saw the video, two things about the video, it appeared like you were visiting someone in prison. That's the first one. And secondly, I don't know, I know they have to go through the layers of when you try things like this out, you got to go to business, let them figure it out, get it miniaturized and it goes to the consumer. But I feel like this is something the consumer like when you watch that video, we get to see grandma gets to see the baby kids and and and that kind of I feel like families will benefit from this far more. And that's why I wish Xbox, you know, or Microsoft in general really didn't give up on the connect for consumers part because I think they're they may not be getting there but that idea of being able to kind of model yourself and send that data off. It's actually quite fascinating and and I'm like, yeah, we have them. We have the form factor. We just need to we need to figure out how to make that accessible for everybody. The particular lenses go into headsets already. That's a thing that's a thing that virtual reality headsets use. So there's a path to this not going into your phone, but going into a headset should a headset become comfortable to wear and become popular. In which case, yeah, you won't need. I mean, yes, your family can still visit you in prison through one of these things at the record house. Actually, I could see that. But but it could get miniaturized into a headset and be able to do that 3D sense and be able to handle more than one person and still do all the eye tracking all that can go to a headset. It's what meta was shown off. Yeah, yeah, I agree. All right, the Verges 80 Robertson has an article up called What Does Mark Zuckerberg Think Open Means? That's what she's talking about it. This year's Meta Connect event CEO Mark Zuckerberg reiterated his vision for an open metaverse. It's not a new stance for Zuck or the company, but this is the quote on it. In each generation of computing that I've seen so far, PCs mobile, there's basically an open ecosystem and there's a closed ecosystem. I strongly believe that an open interoperable metaverse built by many different developers and companies is going to be better for everyone. Who could disagree? Robertson notes that in a conversation with the Verges Alex Heath, Zuckerberg uses Microsoft as the example of what open is as opposed to Apple. Okay, Zuckerberg used Apple as an example of a closed ecosystem, which he called very tightly integrated, relatively insular, a lot of value basically just flows toward the closed ecosystem over time. He compared this to what he considered an open ecosystem. This is a quote. In PCs, I think you'd say that Windows during the 90s and 2000s especially was really the primary ecosystem in computing. The open ecosystem was winning. Remember that open ecosystem in the 90s and 2000s from Microsoft? I'm just going to pause here for a moment, maybe wait for some longtime Linux users to stop laughing or throwing things, getting physically ill. I don't know, but Tom, take it away. Everybody, everybody settled down? You're back on your Arch Linux. Yes, Microsoft in the 2000s was so open that federal regulators almost broke up the company for practices like dominating browsers to the point that we still can't get rid of IE6. Microsoft even has a website pleading with people to stop using IE6. But to Meta's credit, the Quest is more open than iOS. You can side load on the Quest because it's based on Android and the company helped found the Metaverse standards form. So it is participating in an interoperable platform, but it doesn't support you accessing Horizon Worlds on Steam VR and most of its tools involve getting data into its system. It doesn't let you take your avatar and your friends to another VR chat platform. Lamar, how'd this sit with you? Yeah, so I used to build computers in the 90s and worked at Best Buy and Office Depot. And I was like, oh yeah, it was so open. Like Microsoft was so open and accessible, there was nothing called Red Hat Linux that was available that I totally put on my computer and was actually open to do whatever. No, that didn't exist. None of the sort. But yeah, Microsoft being open was funny. After I read for this, I'm like, was Apple more closed? Yes. Apple in the 90s was known as, oh, that's for schools. Oh, that's that one. I get the feeling that Zuckerberg is confusing not abusing your market position with openness. I don't think he understands what abuse is. I don't think he knows that word. Well, one, I think this also speaks to the power of Microsoft's recent marketing efforts of, we're this cloud-friendly, friendly grandpa of tech now that everybody can like. I do think that's part of it. But also, to his point, in the 90s and 2000s, you could drag any EXE file, a lot of malware certainly, and run it on your Windows machine. That wasn't locked down. You could throw a new graphics card. Oh, sure. Microsoft Windows was more open than Mac OS or OS 8 as a, you know, if we're going to. So it's detriment, though. That's when you start getting into the tribal like, you know, you know, I like the openness. I like the security. It's security through obscurity, like, but neither of them are open. Like if we're talking about an open metaverse, we're talking about I can take my avatar and I can be on Steam. Or I can be on HTC or I can be on Samsung, whoever. PlayStation. And I can just wander out into the world and not worried about walled gardens. And Quest is right now a walled garden, by all I can tell. Yeah, I mean, it really seems like he is very clear. I mean, he wants to say open because that sounds better than we're locking this stuff down. And guess what? We're going to own the whole stack. But like, I think he's just very clearly spelling out like, here's the model that we're going to go after. Yeah, maybe we don't have the market share to get into regulatory trouble. We will see. But the idea of, hey, we're going to let any big partner that wants to pay us some money to develop. We'll provide you all the tools that you want to get all your services. Hey, Microsoft, you want to bring, you know, all of your productivity stuff. Hey, Adobe, you want to do all this stuff. We have no problem with that. You look at that metaverse standards for them. There's a ton of huge names on there that I'm sure they would love to have all the software on there for them. They're not going to say no, but, you know, the, the, the Quest marketplace is ahead of iOS. When you look at in terms of transaction, you know, the amount that they're taking from developers for like things like in app transactions. So that to me is fundamentally not all that different. It's like, yes, you can use our platform and we can make some money from you using it and you can make money selling software services on top of that. I think the, you know, what the degree of openness is certainly a lot of window dressing. I also think Zuckerberg is being fairly honest. I believe he believes what he's saying. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. Oh, go ahead. Sorry.  Yeah, I listen, I, I ordered it. I ordered the pro because I'm, you know, just from a gamer point of view or tech point of view, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm curious about what is, what is going to do or what the benefit is. But let's, you know, let's be real here. Metavert meta is death. Like they were desperate here. They need people to look at them as the gatekeepers of the metaverse. And I think there's, there's super worried that anyone can come in like an apple or someone and and completely take that that type of a conversation away from from them. They're trying to, they're trying to be the first ones out there. And so yeah, the appearing open is, is for that reason. But, but, but Meta Facebook, how far you want to go back has never had a, a, a, a, it's never really been known for just being completely open. They have always had their wall wall garden. It just makes, it just makes sense to be like that. And I don't think this is going to be any different, but it has to appear like they have partners. That's why Microsoft was on stage, stage with them. But, but they have partners that you, you can be closed and have partners.  Pay a close attention. He's saying an open ecosystem. That's what Microsoft used. He's taking a playbook from Microsoft. Microsoft was in this battle when Mark Zuckerberg was coming up in high school and college. Microsoft is the open platform to a Max closed platform. He's using the open ecosystem architect argument. It is not the same as an open platform. Don't let him get away with that. If you're going to have this discussion with anyone, an open ecosystem is very different from an open platform. The internet, email, those are open platforms. iOS is an open ecosystem because they let other developers make apps in it. That is an open ecosystem. At least the app store part of it. Maybe not iOS, but you get what I'm saying. There's a very big difference between those. And I think that's the importance to understanding this. If you have a thought on that, send it over an open platform called Electronic Mail to us. Feedback at DailyTechNewsShow.com Germany had unified. So had Yemen. Tim Berners-Lee was setting up a server at CERN to share some documents easily across networks. Mariah Carey's Love Takes Time was topping the charts. Home Alone, the very first one was dominating the box office and the search engine Archie was only a couple months old. It was November 1990. I was a program director at WPGU and something else momentous was about to happen. My birth. And then after that, Microsoft finally launched what he announced two years before at Comdex, Microsoft Office. Another birth. It brought together Word, Excel, PowerPoint into one offering. Supercharging Microsoft Works for the enterprise user. Oh, God, I haven't heard Microsoft Works in forever. Anyway, for more than 30 years, Microsoft Office has reigned as the dominant productivity suite and second only to Windows as the software of what you think of when you think of Microsoft. So why are we reminiscing, Tom? What's going on here? Office doesn't have much time left now, Lamar. No. Starting in November, Office.com will redirect to Microsoft365.com. And in January on doctor's orders, the Office app for Windows and mobile will become the Microsoft 365 app. Now, the office name is going to hang on by a thread, though. While Office 365 did get renamed to Microsoft 365 two years ago, existing Office 365 subscriptions won't be changed for the time being. And if you're real old school, you're not going to notice this at all because you just got the offline version you paid once for. The suite will still be available as Office 2021 or Office Long Term Service, Office LTSC. Microsoft has said it will update that version at least one more time, whether they call that next version Office or not, remains to be seen. But, but, but wait. You won't lose your old friends. Oh, no. Yes. Microsoft 365 will include Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Loop, Clipchamp, Stream, and Microsoft's new designer app. See, they'll still be around. The Microsoft 365 app will have a feed of meetings and a listing of your files and documents. My God, this sounds boring. Why are we reading this like this? Because it was the only way to make it dramatic. No, I think I, I think this is a mistake for Microsoft to do. But before we get to that, any, any fond feelings for Office, you know?  I deployed Office through there to customers, but more fondly at a local school through the school district was having to push out, you know, Office to all the different workstations throughout my local school and then I actually helped out some other schools. I remember it finally actually been the licensing being what, 10 bucks? And getting to buy it for that because the retail version was $400. And I was able to get a license because I was in education. Oh, I missed those times. $10, the $10 Office. Yes.  Like whether it was word perfect would just like format your stuff weird or you'd use something like open office, maybe a little later. And say, okay, what kind of compatibility issues are there? Like, okay, it gives you the basic functionality, but like Excel formulas get weird or something like that when you're trying to move between the two. So yeah, just kind of being that productivity standard bearer so that even if you weren't using it, you were kind of measuring against it in a lot of ways. Yeah. And yet I think it's a mistake to lose the name Office. I think you should have just put office as part of Microsoft 365. Office means something to people in a way granted word probably means something more than office more people know Microsoft Word and probably call other things that aren't Microsoft Word Word, because it's a word processor. You know, it's been genericized, but office, you immediately know like, Oh, that's the stuff I use for work. You know, it's the spreadsheet. It's the word processor. It's the PowerPoint. It's my email and calling it Microsoft. Microsoft 365 is not intuitive to the point that people are going to still look for office and obviously search engine optimization will keep them pointed at Microsoft 365. But I think Microsoft 365 should be the service and the office suite is one of the things you get in it. I wonder if they'll change their mind on this down the road because they because this this makes as much sense as changing the Xbox to be the Microsoft game thing. But here, here's why I don't think this is a mistake. This is Microsoft already recognizing that they're kind of creating the these it's almost like Adobe Creative Cloud. It's very similar. They're creating this this interwoven network of productivity soup that you can just kind of dip your hand. And it's like, I really know that Adobe changed the name of Photoshop to Creative Cloud thing. But it's but Photoshop is word Photoshop is word. Lightroom is Excel. You see what I'm saying? You're right. You're right. So but like this really struck me with the designer app where really that is I feel like that's not really meant to be a standalone thing. That's meant to spruce up your PowerPoints. That's meant to like to be used across all these other services. And just like when you're using, you know, you're using audition and ask you if you want to export this to premiere and it all just works very seamlessly. And you can kind of bounce between the two. Well, it's most of the time works very seamlessly. I feel like with with a lot of the stuff that that Microsoft is doing with kind of interactive elements that you can share amongst other people and they can live in multiple spaces. I don't think they really care about office about in that way. Also, there's a whole like remote work. I think kind of wording semantic game that they're playing, but really is about like we want this to be this productivity soup and the individual products themselves. I don't think mattered to them long term. Yeah, I'm just trying to stick Microsoft into the name. Go ahead. No, no, no, I was going to say something similar to that.  Maybe that's what, you know, they're they're thinking, but I was going to be against you, Tom. I actually I'm coming around to understanding yet. Yeah, when you think of these products, you're thinking of work. I don't think of pleasure when I think of Excel. Some people do. Some people think have extreme pleasure with Excel. I think you have a problem to judge. We're not here to judge. No, no, I just judge. I just judge. Except Lamar. I did judge. Yes. Get help. Okay. No, I could see a better argument for changing it to Microsoft work 365 or something. But even then you've got a valuable brand in office. When people think software in office, they think Microsoft like it just it seems like a mistake to lose that. I totally get the logic of what they're doing. I do, which is like, this is more than just office. This is what Microsoft provides to you 365 days a year and we'll read. We'll change the name and leap years. But, but yeah, I, I, I think office was is a very valuable name that they, they. I regret kicking to the curb, which might be why they're not totally kicking in it to the curb with the downloadable version. I'll see. They're holding on to it. They can keep that trademark. All right. Let's check out the mail bag. Yeah. We got this really great email from Brian. He says, Tom and Robert were talking about new TV tech during last Friday show and Robert talked about quantum dot tech and how it's used to make colors pop. Well, it turns out there's another use for quantum dot tech improving solar panel energy capture rates. Quantum dots are being investigated to see how much more energy a current solar panel can generate using this tech. Quantum dot tech can be added as another layer on solar panels and using this tech. Some of the blue light and ultraviolet light can then be down converted by the dots to a usable wavelength and then be used by the panel to generate more electricity. The side benefit is the panels won't get as hot due to the wasted energy of the higher energy wavelength not being used. So when it happens, there will be two benefits. I never even obviously I'm not a solar panel scientist, but that is super awesome. I love it. This makes perfect sense. We've got a know a little more that explains some of this quantum dot stuff. If you want to check that out. But Brian, thank you for this. I had no idea that it makes sense, but I had no idea that this was happening in the in the solar area. So I, I highly look forward to more good information on solar coming to Brian coming from Brian down the road. All right. That's going to do. Oh, sorry. Rich, did you have something else on that? I just said most definitely too late. Thank you. Lamar Wilson for being here today. We appreciate it. What you got going on to let folks know about.

Okay we are back and this is where we left in the last module the absorption and emission spectrum of 7 as a indole in hexane nxn it is difficult to get this kind of a result in protic solvents because as we discussed in the case of 3 hydroxyl flavone in some other cases you would get block structures that are formed so hexane is a better solvent and I am only showing you not even the tip of the iceberg tip of the tip the hundreds of papers on this where people have done temperature variation quantum chemical calculations different kinds of experiments and it was more or less agreed already by mid 1995 that double proton transfer takes place here and 7 as a indole dimer has been studied by people who are not spectroscopists also because it is a DNA base pair model so that biomimetic aspect is also there so lot of studies were there for our purpose what we need is upon increasing concentration from 10 to the power minus 4 to 10 to the power minus 2 molar small change in absorption is seen but what is most significant is that this monomer emission goes down and you do not see going down here because it is normalized here and totomer emission becomes very prominent between 400 to 700 nanometer emission maximum somewhere at 480, 490 nanometer this totomer emission becomes prominent in at higher concentrations right and this is the starting point of our time-resolved spectroscopic discussion and this data that you see here is from this 1998 Jeff Eskeme A paper by Takeuchi and Tahara. So what they started with is this starting point was very well non ambitious and I show you another paper that was published by Zuel group before this 1995 so there is some background so what they thought was this that alright this excited state double proton transfer takes place we know that this non proton transfer species the locally excited state has emission in 320 to say 400 nanometer region and beyond 400 nanometer it is predominantly the proton transfer species and there is another attractive feature look at the spectrum this locally excited state emission gets over by 400 nanometer and that is where the proton transferred species spectrum begins. So good thing here is that there is almost no overlap so there is almost no overlap the data are simpler if there is overlap between the two then there would be a significant region where you get signal from this as well as that actually it is there as you will see but it is not very much okay. So if that is the case then as we know then in the region of the non proton transferred locally excited dimeric excited state you expect a fast decay and in the region of emission of the proton transferred dimer you expect to see a rise okay this is the expectation and that is what they saw so let us go through the data a little carefully. So 320 and these are not normalized by the way that is why you see difference in heights at 320 nanometer of course that is a blue end of the spectrum the intensity is really really small so you see a decay it becomes more and more prominent as you go 350 nanometer 380 nanometer when you go to 420 nanometer once again intensity is small and you understand that if you remember the spectrum 420 nanometer is somewhere here so just before and just after 400 nanometer intensity is small but you have made the crossover already from the locally excited dimer to proton transferred dimer and here you see it looks like there is that fast decay still there but there is something that is very long lived and that becomes prominent at 440 nanometer 445 nanometer at 455 nanometer look at the data very closely what are the features that you see and look for features that are subtle what do you see I will give you the easiest you see a long lifetime right but there are two other features what are the two other features initial time that fast decay is still there that means some monomer emission is there even though you do not see it really in this steady state it is still there do you see the hint of a rise yeah do you see that there is a hint of a rise here of course the moment you go from 455 to 500 it is rise all the way followed by a long lifetime but the reason why I am spending so much time on this is that this is what you see a fast decay followed by a rise when you see emission when you are in the region of an emission spectrum where you have both generally our expectation is rise is for the destination state right the proton transferred state but since the non protons transferred excited the locally excited state also makes a contribution to fluorescence at this wavelength these are two independent things almost I mean this grows from there fine but you do see the decay there as well so you can get data like this so in our Jacob Fizz paper of 2010 I think in another system 2 to dash peri-dial benzimidazole we have observed something like this in up conversion these are all up conversion data perhaps do not need to say so after 455 nanometers so this is something that you might get if you do an experiment you should know you should not ignore it if you go more towards the and you can see that deliberately put in a gap 455 and 51 actually they are recorded decays at many wavelengths in between also but the gap is so that you see it nicely that there is a rise so what is this fast decay of the locally excited state what is the rise due to the rise is due to the formation of your proton transferred state and this decay on blue at blue end and rise at red end of emission spectrum is something that you expect if you work out this kinetics of a two state model where one state depletes and as a result of that the other state grows you get a simple by exponential function where one of where the formation of the second species is associated with a negative amplitude and decay of course has positive amplitude fine so qualitatively nothing very surprising but when the decay was fitted and this is where fitting becomes very important as we have said several times earlier you can fit almost everything to a by exponential decay that may be appropriate may not be appropriate in this case they could fit the blue end decay to two components 0.2 picosecond and 1.1 picosecond so they had to be confident whenever you go to by exponential fitting there are still plenty of conservative people and for good reason who start doubting your fate as how do you know it is not try exponential how do you know how do you know that it is really by exponential because over parameterization always gives a better fit so one needs to be very very careful one needs to have a model in mind and one needs to be able to interpret the data correctly so 0.2 picosecond 1.1 picosecond here Takauchi and Tahara had some help from their prior work that we discussed in the previous module they are already established that the time required for S2 to S1 conversion is something like 100 200 picosecond 100 200 femtosecond so they were confident because they already had this kind of data in other systems the rise was fitted to a single term so what they did is for this kind of a sequential process where you excite and then you have a first precursor precursor 1 which makes way for precursor 2 with a time constant tau 1 the precursor 2 gives rise to P3 with time constant tau 2 which has a lifetime of tau 3 you have expression of fluorescence decay like this which is not unknown to us in this course I at time T after excitation is equal to K1 of lambda multiplied by P1 of T plus K2 of lambda multiplied by P2 of T plus K3 of lambda multiplied by P3 of T which simplifies into our well known tri exponential fit A1 e to the power minus T by tau 1 plus A2 e to the power minus T by tau 2 plus A3 e to the power minus T by tau 3 the reason why we are showing this line even is to emphasize the fact that many times it is not enough to just fit your data and work with the amplitudes you might want to do a simulation of the data when I say simulation I do not mean MD simulation simple kinetic simulation code small code that you can write using MATLAB you might want to actually work out the kinetics and you might want to get this functions P1 of T P2 of T and so on and so forth eventually it will be like this. So I recommend that you go through the work of floor Roderick's Prito they have done a very efficient very thorough Forster cycle analysis of the time resolved data of proton transfer in benzimidazoles well pyridyl benzimidazoles Forster cycle is something we are not discussed in this course but it is there in Lacovitch's book among other resources quite easy to understand generally when you have things like this it is good if you can do a Forster cycle analysis in case of proton transfer and get greater insight out of your amplitudes and lifetimes that is what Takeuchi and Tahara had done what is K1 of lambda that is the fluorescence intensity in lambda space and of course when you go from lambda to nu you have to multiply by this factor lambda square. If you integrate K1 of nu over all frequencies then that gives you an idea of the radiative decay rate radiative decay rate is the inverse of radiative lifetime. So remember in basic courses of spectroscopy we talk about Einstein's kinetic treatment of stimulated and spontaneous emission. So hence we get Einstein's a coefficient and B coefficient Einstein's a coefficient is associated it is basically the rate constant associated with spontaneous decay inverse of that is the radiative lifetime that we are talking about. And you can get the oscillator strength oscillator strength you might remember is something that tells you how well how strong the transition is. So oscillator strength is has a simple mathematical relationship with other parameters like the experimentally determined epsilon molar absorption coefficient or molar extinction coefficient and transition moment integral which is a theoretical quantity. Oscillator strength is a more classical concept and you can find it from this data by integrating K1 over all frequencies and dividing by 1 by nu square. So this is something that you can get from the emission and the premise of this discussion of getting oscillator strength from the emission when you excite and when emission become B1 equal to B2 B12 equal to B21 right from there you can actually relate it to absorption as well as we are going to say. So hence doing all this from the time resolved data Takeuchi and Tahara could construct the fluorescence spectrum of all the components. So this is the fluorescence of monomer not very difficult to find because it is there in the steady state this is the fluorescence of tautomer again not difficult to find because it is there in the steady state so that helps your time resolved data analysis also. Then in addition to monomer and tautomer they identified 2 precursors precursor 1 and precursor 2 precursor 1 is at smaller wavelengths and therefore higher frequency higher energies precursor 2 is at lower longer wavelength therefore lower energies and they established that the 0.2 picosecond time constant is the time associated with precursor 1 to precursor 2 transformation 1.1 picosecond is the time associated with not only the decay of precursor 2 but also the rise of tautomer emission and here in starts the debate. So what they are saying essentially is that you have some precursor to start with from which no proton transfer is taking place no tautomer is formed from there you get another precursor which is associated with the slightly longer time 1.1 picosecond and from there you get that tautomer okay so it is I will tell you why this was a one of the starting points of the debate but well this we have said already they also determined the oscillator strength and to summarize the data that they had this is neglect the first line for the moment even though I have shown it to you so you already know the answer they had this 3 components right 0.2 picosecond 1.1 picosecond and a 3 nanosecond or so peak wavelengths are for the first one 330 nanometer for the first decay the species has peak wavelength emission wavelength of 350 nanometer this one this tautomer emission 490 nanometer. So this life time turns out to be 0.2 picosecond 1.1 picosecond 3.2 nanosecond and radiative life time turns out to be 13 nanosecond 38 nanosecond 160 nanosecond okay what is radiative life time 1 by kr remember what is life time life time is 1 by kr plus knr 1 by kr is 13 nanosecond 1 by kr plus knr is 0.2 picosecond what does that mean means there is some very efficient non radiative process going on here that is why you do not get so much because 13 nanosecond radiative life time is not actually bad it is quite good but due to this non radiative process it does not get a chance. So remember I refer to this Einstein kinetic treatment little while ago one thing that is not included in the treatment is non radiative process in Einstein's treatment you get to learn that spontaneous emission is a reality and it is always there we also get to learn that the rate constant of excitation is equal to rate constant of stimulated emission these are the 2 important things that we learnt from the treatment rather simple treatment but what is still not done there is non radiative rate constant which is of utmost importance when you discuss ultrafast processes okay. So this is a very good piece of data also to sensitize us to the fact that non radiative processes can bring about a sea change if you can somehow stop the non radiative process then this species will have lifetime of 13 nanosecond suppose there is no non radiative processes at all lifetime will go up from less than picosecond to 13 nanosecond and you will see a huge increase in fluorescence you do not see it because of the non radiative process okay. And the associated quantum is you know how to calculate them A i tau i divided by sum over i A i tau i for the ultrafast component it is 1.5 into 10 to the power minus 5 really very small first component 2.9 into 10 to the power minus 5 marginally better slow component 2 into 10 to the power minus 2 now 2 into 10 to the power minus 2 may not seem attractive for somebody who is looking for a brightly fluorescent molecule but then compared to 10 to the power minus 5 10 to the power minus 2 is 1000 times more yeah alright. Now the oscillator strength calculated from the fluorescence spectra well not fluorescence spectra fluorescence data turn out to be 0.13 for ultrafast 0.048 for fast and 0.023 for the slow component and then if you add this to 0.13 plus 0.048 that turns out to be 0.16 which closely matches the oscillator strength that you determine experimentally from the absorption spectrum remember what I said a little while ago oscillator strength generally when you say oscillator strength you think of absorption spectrum from there there is a straight forward determination from epsilon that turns out to be about 0.16. And when you sort of back calculate from the fluorescence data it turns out that almost the entire oscillator strength is accounted for by excitation to the species associated with ultrafast and fast components. So that means ultrafast and fast components together make up sort of a 2 fold excited state ensemble to which excitation is taking place remember excitation that we do here is by ultrafast pulse ultrafast pulse is not monochromatic. So if you have 2 states that are closely lying to each other then you might end up exciting both together okay. So this is the state of affairs here up to here that oscillator strength is accounted for by excitation to not 1 but 2 species and what are the 2 species now the first line that was written in the table the ultrafast one was associated is assigned to dimeric s2 state the first decay is associated with the dimeric s1 state why did they think this should be the assignment because they had prior knowledge that they in other compounds they had shown that you actually can look at the emission spectrum originating in s2 if you look at ultrafast time scales without that they could not have achieved this right. So this was the assignment that was done and the main contention here is that excitation is taking place to not 1 but 2 excited states 1 is s1 1 is s2 what are these 2 closely lying excited states what is the do we have some additional evidence to support what has been said so far we will take that up in the next module.


I don't care about your opinion. I can rely on my own opinion. I can trust my own understanding. I can trust in my own wisdom. That is what prayerlessness is. That is what a lack of the Word of God is. It's a lack of dependency on the person of the Holy Spirit. When we pray, when we read the Word, when we call for his help, when we're tempted, when we call on him for his wisdom, when we ask him for guidance and consultation, we are actively depending upon him. Prayer is the activity of depending on the Holy Spirit. And if I don't pray, if I don't read the Word, if I don't involve him, I'm not depending on him.

I wish we could get Chinese to come to Honolulu to finish our light rail system that's taken 12 years and over budget by 5 billion percent and the Chinese could have gotten it done in one year.  This is a question from Al midi. With China's projected economic growth, why would China want to disrupt the world with a war that would negatively impact their economy? China may beat the U.S. at capitalism. Well, the Chinese have never said they want a war. It's the U.S. that seems to be saying that they want a war. It's the U.S. that's being provocative. It's not the Chinese that are coming into the waters of the United States. It's the U.S. that is just coming up with all of these, you know, little prods, pushes and prods for both China and for North Korea and the same way they did it for Russia on the Ukraine thing.


I wanted to talk about something that's often neglected, all right, and that's minerals. All right, now we have basically two broad classifications of minerals. We have the macro minerals. All right, and those are the minerals that we think about. A lot of times when we think about minerals, those would be things like calcium, magnesium, iron. All right, but there are also another class of minerals called micro minerals. All right, and these are the ones you don't think about as often, and the reason for that is you only need very, very, very tiny amounts of these minerals. All right, whereas these you need in the milligrams or even the hundreds of milligrams for most of them per day, these you need in like fractions of a milligram. Just that's why they're called trace minerals. We only need very, very, very, very, very, very, very small amounts of them, which is a good thing because these are the minerals that are just found in very, very, very, very trace amounts in nature. All right, but just because we don't need much of them doesn't mean they're any less important. All right, because your body uses these trace minerals for a lot of the chemical reactions that take place in the body. All right, now to give an example of what I'm talking about here, who's heard of vanadium? All right, a couple of people, well you heard from last night, a couple of people heard about vanadium. Vanadium's a trace mineral, or chromium, probably a lot of us heard about chromium. These are just two, they're actually about 70 to 90 different trace minerals. And the reason I mentioned these particular ones is these, a deficiency in vanadium or chromium can make you, can predispose you to type 2 diabetes. All right, and type 2 diabetes is actually epidemic in our society right now. I mean it rivals heart disease and cancer is like the biggest killer of Americans. All right, now a lot of that is too much sugar in our diets, being overweight and underactive. All right, but it's also associated, you're predisposed to it if you are deficient in vanadium and chromium. And I for one know people who had type 2 diabetes and went on chromium and vanadium and actually were, you know, they stopped having the symptoms of the type 2 diabetes. All right, that doesn't mean that everybody who has type 2 diabetes is going to be cured if they take vanadium and chromium. All right, just the people who are deficient in those, but even the people who are not deficient, they could still, and if their diabetes is caused from some other reason, namely being overweight and out of shape, type 2 diabetes, again is what I'm talking about. Even they can be helped by getting a little bit of extra vanadium and chromium. All right, the thing about trace minerals or micro-minerals, and trace minerals is another term for it. It's the same thing, trace minerals. So the thing about trace minerals is that Americans are typically very, very deficient in trace minerals. And part of that is because of overworked soil. All right, now when farmers work the soil gearing and you're out, they use the nutrients in the soil and they put certain things back in the soil like nitrogen, for example. All right, but they don't put minerals back in the soil. All right, now everybody's heard of the benefits of organic gardening. All right, and there are a lot of benefits including less pesticides in your food, right? Because they don't use pesticides on the plants that they grow organically. All right, but another thing about organically grown food is it is higher in the trace minerals. And the reason for that is when you grow organically, you use natural fertilizer, right? Like compost, manure, these are things that are rich in trace minerals. So that's a good reason to actually grow organically. I brought a couple of visual aids over here. Hold on. Thank you. Okay, here's a product called trace mineral maintenance. This is a nutritional supplement. All right, the reason I brought this is because it has a list of trace minerals in here like antimony, beryllium, bismuth, boron. Boron is very important for your bones. Like calcium, macromeneral. You can have a lot of calcium in your diet, but if you don't have the trace mineral boron, you won't actually use the calcium in your diet to maximum efficiency. All right, bromine, cerium, cesium, chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, and I'm just in the seas. Okay, they're listed alphabetically here. All right, so this is an example of how many trace minerals are out here. The reason I brought this supplement is to show you that, yes, you know, people actually do take supplements. These trace minerals are not in your typical multivitamin product, but they are. But I'm showing this because, yes, people do pay good money to get trace minerals as a nutritional supplement. Because tonight I'm going to talk about a way for you to get your trace minerals without taking a nutritional supplement. Although I still recommend nutritional supplements, and I do, by the way, I grow organically and I eat mostly organically grown food, but I still take a trace mineral supplement. One I take, by the way, is usually liquid. This is a tablet here. I do take a liquid form that's more easily absorbable than the tablets. All right, but when our plants need minerals, we're talking about getting back to gardening. Our plants need trace minerals too. All right, and where they get it, they get it from the soil. All right, and when the minerals are in the soil and the plants can get the minerals, the plants are healthier. All right, now when you have garden plants that suffer from diseases, there are different approaches to treating those diseases. One is you can use certain products that target those particular diseases, like if there's a pest. You can use certain poises to kill that pest.  All right, but another way for plants to fight off pests is naturally. Just like we have natural resistance to disease, plants have natural resistance to disease. All right, just like us, we need these trace minerals to have our maximum resistance to disease for our bodies to function, for our immune systems to function maximally. All right, we need these trace minerals. What's the same with your plants? And if you have a lot of problems with diseases of your plants, not just diseases, but even insect infestations, because if the plants are deficient in trace minerals, they're less able to fend off insects as well.  But if plants are deficient in trace minerals, they will be more susceptible to disease. All right, so a good reason to supplement your soil with trace minerals is for healthier plants. And the benefit to that is not only for your plants, but the plants absorb minerals from the soil and then they're contained in the plant. All right, minerals are rocks. Your body can't make it. Plants can't make it. Minerals on this earth were created at the creation of earth, and they're not created after that, right? Gold is a mineral. Gold is actually making on here. If they have, for thousands of years, alchemists have tried to figure out a way to make gold out of base metals, and they just, they can't do it. It just can't happen. It's the same with all minerals. All right, if they're not in the soil, the plant is not going to get it because the plant can't make the minerals. All right, now the other thing that plants need is they need beneficial bacteria in the soil in order to absorb these minerals, any minerals. All right, beneficial bacteria actually cling to the roots of the plant, and the beneficial bacteria actually take the minerals and they allow, they allow chemical conversion there, which allows the root of the plant to take up the trace minerals. All right, so even if you have trace minerals in your soil, if the beneficial bacteria is not in the soil, your plant, you know, can't use it as well. Very similar in our own bodies. So I'm sure most of you have heard about beneficial flora, the senior intestinal tract, or like 80% of our immune system is actually in our intestinal tract. And most of the lending cells in our bodies are not actually our own cells. All right, most of the cells in this body are not my VNA. Most of the cells in my body are actually the beneficial bacteria, most of which is in the gut. It's everywhere. It's in the skin, it's in the lungs, but most of it is in the gut. And it's very, very important, again, for your health, you know, for us to have the beneficial bacteria in our gut. All right, that's not the topic of tonight's discussion, so I'm not going to go further into that, but I'm just drawing the analogy of, you know, beneficial bacteria is necessary for us. It's also necessary for the plants. All right, in order for them to get the minerals.   All right, so a lot of the farming practices in the world, worldwide, really, I was going to say in the US, but pretty much worldwide, most of the farming practices revolve around using these chemical pesticides, right, on the crops. Well, it also kills the beneficial bacteria. Just like us, again, drawing the analogy with the human body, we have beneficial bacteria in our bodies, and you probably heard that when you take an antibiotic, it kills off the beneficial bacteria in your body, and that's the reason a lot of people say, well, take, you know, supplements like yogurt to help replace the beneficial bacteria after you've been on antibiotics. Well, it's the same with the plants, you know, and constantly adding these chemicals to the soil, just the soil is just almost sterile, or at least it's sterile of the beneficial bacteria that plants need to absorb the trace minerals. All right, to me, that is one of the most important reasons for organically gardening. Okay, one is because to avoid the pesticides themselves, because the pesticides are taken up by the plant, and then we eat these pesticides. All right, but the other reason is because the beneficial bacteria, it destroys beneficial bacteria, which is bad for your plants. All right, now, I talked about the supplement here. You can also get your trace minerals from your vegetables. All right, if your vegetables, or your greens, or whatever you grow, if they have, you know, again, their rocks and they can't create it, your body can't create it, if it's not there, you're not going to get it. All right, so the way you can get your trace minerals is by eating plants that are rich in trace minerals. That's the best way to get them. And that is, again, the primary reason, or one of the primary reasons for growing organically. All right, so what I want to talk about tonight is doing two things. I'm going to suggest two things that you can do. Well, actually, I'm going to suggest three things probably. And maybe more, some more come to mind. But one is grow organically, right? Compost, your vegetable matter.  We have compost buckets separate underneath the seat, and then that goes out in the compost bin outside. All right, I buy bananas from whoever, wherever they come from, right? Some foreign country. All right, those banana pills go in the compost. And guess what? Those are trace minerals from another, you know, part of the country, or another part of the world. Vegetables come in from other states, you know. Again, trace minerals coming in from all these different areas that we get our vegetables, especially if you buy organically grown food. And on that topic, organically grown food, I read one time that they tested spinach and they found out that organically grown spinach had 100 times more iron than conventionally grown spinach. All right, that's just one iron, it's just one mineral, okay? You can say pretty much the same thing for, you know, for all these minerals in there. All right, so how do you get the minerals back in your soil? Again, I mentioned composting. But you can also supplement, especially if your soil has been used, you know, whoever had it, you know, say if you knew to that area, whoever had it before, they could have used pesticides, you know, or they could have overworked their soil. I know when we moved out to Robertsville, I tested our soil. And this was a place where there had never been a garden. All right, and our soil was really deficient in nitrogen. It was way, way, way too alkaline. And there's a gravel road right by my garden and it's all calcium.  All right, and then also living in Ozarks, there's a lot of water on the hill. A lot of water leaches your minerals out and then leaches as calcium in. And as a result, my soil was really deficient and it was really, really, way alkaline. So first year I've garden, I did a lot of stuff, you know, adding to the soil, like compost, manure, sulfur, which is something you can add to have lower the pH of your garden. So last year, I did not have a tremendously good garden this first year in that location, but I did discover a lot of problems with the soil that I started correcting then. I've been correcting all along, so hopefully this year I'm looking for a much better year. One of the things I added was something called, oh, there it is. Some people call this rock dust, but rock dust is not a really good term because that could be dust from any kind of rock, right?  All right, so if your rock is just nothing but calcium, you know, then what are you getting when you add rock dust? All right, this is an example of one product about this in the, like a garden supply store somewhere out in rural Missouri near Springfield. I don't know if you sell it around here or not, I haven't found it around here. It's called Azomite, A-Z-O-M-I-T-E. This is a brand, this is a brand name. What happened to my black? Oh, there it is, how did it go up in there? All right, Azomite stands for A-Z of minerals. All right, in other words, it contains A-Z, contains all the trace of minerals. This one actually comes from volcanic rock, and there are other types from around the world. Bentonite clay is another. This is micronized, I'm going to pass this around. This is completely non-toxic, it's just ground up rocks. I know I want you to see, notice how fine it is. And that's what you want, you want to micronize because the smaller it is, the easier it's going to be for it to be taken up by the plants. So this is something completely natural, completely organic, it's just trace minerals.  But one other thing I recommend adding is beneficial bacteria. Now you can add beneficial bacteria from your compost because that's what's growing in your compost, right? It's bacteria. All right, but I like to, especially starting in a place where deficient, obviously deficient in bacteria. And this is a product I picked up here at local store, I think Walmart maybe, think they had this on sale last year. But also, I bought this in a larger bag. I said, as somebody, I bought this in a 40 pound bag, and a 40 pound bag costs like about $14, $15 or something like that. It's not terribly expensive. It goes a long way. All right, but beneficial bacteria is also not expensive.  I haven't heard of them. But anyway, so just wanted to mention that there are just like you can buy supplements to replace your own bacteria. This is also something good to add to your soil. If you just add the minerals and your soil is deficient in bacteria, then your plants are not necessarily going to be able to use it. And that's pretty much what I wanted to tell you tonight, but I will entertain questions. Did you do any tests before you did the azomite to determine your trace mineral content? No, I didn't. I don't have any tests to detect trace minerals. I'm not sure how you would do that. I know there's a way to do that. I didn't own any. That's why I was wondering. The only test that I did, I did pH tests and also tested for nitrogen, you know, the big nitrogen potash. It just makes the basic nutrients. But I figured my soil was deficient because my plants just didn't do very well. And I adjusted the pH of the soil somewhat, but they just didn't do as well as they could have. Yeah, no. But I just want to make sure, you know, it doesn't hurt. I mean, even if the beneficial bacteria is in there, it's not very expensive. And it doesn't hurt to, you know, add some more minerals to your soil. Any other questions on the topic? Yes, sir. What's your recommendation on the top five items to grow that you're going to get the most trace minerals from? Yeah. Is it kale? Is it the leaky greens?  Yeah. No, it's not so much a starchy vegetables. It's like most of the dark green vegetables like kale. Kale is a super, super thing. I grow a lot of kale, several different varieties of kale. A dry kale is easy to dehydrate and keep, you know. And then when we want to eat it, we throw it in with the chicken like in the pressure cooker. And it rehydrates and it's just like, you know, greens. It's just like you'd cook fresh greens after it rehydrated. Kale is something that's really, really nutrient dense food. But your dark green vegetables will have the most trace minerals, but all of your vegetables will have trace minerals in them. There'll be different minerals on different vegetables. That's one reason why you should eat a variety of food.  Anything else? How about now? Well, it has your own bag, like how many pounds to use per square footage. But I just throw it out there. You know, you can't use too much out of this. They're just rocks.  And I just like cover the ground kind of, you know, lightly. And then before I till it in. Where do you send your soil samples to? I didn't send it. I bought a test. The tests in Walmart or garden supply stores cost about $10. That tests your soil pH and those key nutrients like nitrogen, potash. I mean, that's all I did. You know, $10 kit from the garden supply store. Anything else? Do you ever use site formation service? Is that good for insect control? All right. Yeah. Diatomaceous earth is good.  Another very, very important thing that I haven't mentioned yet is beneficial insects. All right.  And I noticed when my vegetable, when my vegetables are plagued by any particular kind of insect, I notice at the same time there are beneficial on there.  All right. And that affects insects that have an exoskeleton. All right. Which are most of them. And you think it all, is it all of them? Or maybe it's the ones that have exoskeleton and joints. And join it. I guess most insects, that's what I read. I mean, so I guess maybe there are some who don't have caterpillars. But anyway, that's the one that, you know, that product kills.  It's very, very non-toxic. It's very, very safe. And it's just calcium. But I use it, you know, it's a powder on my dog to help with fleas and ticks. But I don't put it on my garden because I don't want to harm the beneficials back here. And that's the problem, again, you know, with using these pesticides.   But, you know, that's the way, that's the better way, I think, to, you know, to handle insect problems. And then sometimes, if I'm growing a plant, it's just plagued with problems and I can't do anything about it. You know, anything that I try doesn't work. I just stop growing that vegetable and start growing something that's more resistant, you know, to it. I mean, just kind of try to go with nature. Anything else? Okay, bottom line is you need to balance the health of your soil. It's the health of the soil that gives us healthy plants and it's healthy plants that give us health and longevity. And that is all that I've got.


I need my little dongle here to get connected with my MacBook with no HDMI, but that's okay. All right, let's see number three or four, sorry. And sweet, all right. Okay, so I am a developer, and I have an application that I want to deploy out to production, and that application has some infrastructure it needs as well, it needs a Postgres database. So right now, I don't have any Postgres, I've got no database, I've got no infrastructure, and let me make this a little bit bigger here. I've got no application either, so I've got no app, I've got no infrastructure. Let's fix that, let's do something about that.  And so the first thing we should see here is that on my project to GitLab, just like you saw Eddie do, the GitLab Auto DevOps pipeline is going to kick off, and so I wanted to get that started because we're bringing up live infrastructure here, and it takes a few minutes, so I wanted to go ahead and at least get that started, and now we can take a step back, and we can talk about what we're going to do and what we're looking at here. So as Sid introduced earlier for us, the multi-cloud maturity model, now we're kind of moving through those phases there of the further you get along to being able to adopt and use a multi-cloud strategy. We saw workload portability from Eddie, and then now we also are going to look at application portability here in this demo, where as a developer with my application, I don't really want to get too worried about the environment it's going to run in or what cloud provider, what services it needs, et cetera. I want to focus on writing my app and the code and the business logic, et cetera, and I don't want to get bogged down in those details about the infrastructure. So a couple things here that make that a lot easier is first the GitLab's auto DevOps pipeline, which if we take a look at our repo here, we can see that it's not that big. We have our main.go file, that's my production application, the go lang logic for it, go my favorite language, and then we have a docker file which talks about how to build and package the application into a container so we can deploy it to Kubernetes, but there's not really anything in here about how to run the pipelines, how to handle errors, how to execute tests, all that sort of stuff. GitLab's auto DevOps just kind of figures that out for us, how to build and test and deploy, and there's a little bit of input I can put into it, because if you recall, as this application developer here, I wanted to have Postgres, right? For my infrastructure and my production environment, my app needs to talk to Postgres, so I'm going to basically express that need for Postgres. My app needs Postgres, and I also, I want it to be a managed instance, like a managed service from a cloud provider that could be Amazon's RDS, that could be Google's Cloud SQL, it doesn't matter. As an app developer, I just want one please for my app. We'll get into a little bit more details in a second here about how we select what type of managed service for our Postgres we want, but let's take a little bit of a different look here now on the other side of the coin. So this whole time here, I have been playing the role of an application developer, right? I'm building my app, I want to put it in production. There is another side of the house here of the infrastructure owner, the DevOps people. They are the ones that are responsible for the infrastructure. They need to be able to keep costs down. They need to be able to make decisions about policy, security. They've got all that domain expertise and that knowledge about what it takes to get things out into our production environments, make sure they're secure and everything's happy. So I want to be able to make sure that the things that are running in my environments as the infrastructure owner are secure and they're not going to cost too much and all this sort of stuff, but I also don't want to be bothered by application owners having to come to me or file a service ticket or whatever saying that they need new infrastructure, they need new databases. I want to set these people up to be self-service so that they can get the infrastructure on demand when they need it without bothering me too much, but also make sure that it's not too expensive or anything either because I don't want them doing that. So as Eddie was showing here in our GitLab Auto DevOps scenario here, I have in my GitLab project, I too have a connected Kubernetes cluster that is serving as my production environment that this project and this code is going to be deployed out to. So I've got Ingress installed, I've got the GitLab Runner installed, and here we go, I also have Crossplane installed on this production environment as well. So we got to introduce Crossplane real briefly before I mentioned it. So let's talk a little bit more about what Crossplane is. So Crossplane is an open source, multi-cloud control plane, and we open sourced it just before KubeCon last year in Seattle. So it's been going for about a year now, but the super fresh news is that it's now available, integrated into GitLab and GitLab's Auto DevOps, where it's a GitLab managed app. So if you want to be using GitLab CI CD stuff and you want to be deploying to production, you can now also use Crossplane as a multi-cloud control plane to provision your infrastructure to schedule and deploy your applications out to those different environments that you have and do that in a way that's cloud agnostic to have application portability in our multi-cloud maturity model to be able to enable that and be able to deploy your applications across multiple clouds now. And so that's super fresh as in it was merged into master in GitLab yesterday, so this stuff is less than 24 hours old. And I'm getting the... I have a habit of at KubeCon, so when I demo, I don't ever demo anything that's older than 24 hours, so I like to live by the seat of my pants basically, and it's always really exciting. All right, so one more thing to tie it all together here. We know as the infrastructure owner, I've got my autodevops pipeline stuff, I've got my production environment, I've been able to get lab-managed apps such as Crossplane to provision resources for the developers that when they need infrastructure, and these are my cheat sheets here, you're not supposed to be able to read this, don't worry about that, okay? So this is the thing that ties that all together. So an application developer, they want Postgres. They don't know if that's going to be Amazon RDS or if that's going to be Azure's Postgres instance or if it's going to be Google's Cloud SQL, but they just ask for Postgres. Now as the infrastructure owner, I want to make sure that they're not using some wacky configuration, but it's not secure or it's super big crazy instance, it's going to cost us a lot of money, so what I've done as the infrastructure owner is enable a number of set classes of service where I have a standard service for Postgres, I've got a high performance, high IOPS, a micro instance, whatever it may be, but I as the infrastructure owner have defined these classes of service so that the application developers, they can self-service, they can get their infrastructure and their databases when they need it, but it's going to be the type that I'm okay with in my environment. So for instance, this machine tier here, this region using this VPC, this version of Postgres, et cetera. So that's what ties the application developer's request for Postgres to a specific Cloud SQL on RDS with a specific class of service. All right, so that ties everything together, so let's look at this thing now.  I didn't have Postgres and I did not have an application, but the pipeline has completed now, so that should mean that if I refresh, we should have a dynamically provisioned Postgres database that is up and running, sweet, which is there, and we should also have a application that's been deployed as well. Sweet, yep, the application's up and running too. So one more thing here to show you before we do more stuff is that, let me make that bigger or clear. So this, I know it's all jumbled on the screen here, but I'll point at some things here. So let's tie this together here. Application owner requested Postgres, and that was bound through a resource class, just like storage classes in Kubernetes, to a particular type of Postgres that is a Cloud SQL instance running inside of Google. So we have that up and running, our application's doing stuff. Let's take a quick look and see what the application's doing, because, oops, wrong one, let's look at the logs of the application. So yeah, so it's doing stuff, it's doing important production work, and we'll talk about what it's doing in just a second, but here's what I want to do next. You know, I have my application running, it's got its infrastructure, I want to do something new with it. I want to go ahead and update my production instance, right? So let's say version two in a log statement here, and let's go ahead and commit that. Okay, version two of my application, and let's go ahead and push it to my GitLab project, and with that push of my application, we should see another pipeline of GitLab auto DevOps pipeline get kicked off in response to that new commit. Okay, great, that's running, and so now that that's running, it's going to go through the same steps that it did before to initially get everything up off the ground, the infrastructure, and the application. It's going to build the container, it's going to run tests, and if the tests are okay, it'll go ahead and deploy it out to production. So an important part here, though, is that if you recall, we didn't have an application, and we didn't have a database. Now we do. If we're pushing another new version of our application, we want to honor that database, right? We want to just wipe it out, right? We want to make sure that it's okay there. So let's talk about what the application is doing. As I said, it is a very important production piece of infrastructure, sorry, application, and it's doing important production work. So the production, when we first ran this, the Postgres database came up, it didn't have any tables in it, so we created a table, and then we started inserting records into the database, just get a one, two, three, four, inserting in records, doing our workload here. As I said, the production workload, it's inserting integers into a database. Super important. So now that it's doing that, what we should see here is that the autodevops pipeline is running. We've got all this data persisted into the database, and as the autodevops pipeline runs, it's going to recycle, or sorry, update the container with a brand new version of our application. So if we do a get pod on that, we should see that the brand new one is running for the last 12 seconds, and if we look at the logs of it, we should see that it picked up right where it left off with its important production workload of inserting in records into that database. So we kept the data persisted and we updated the application there. So now to tie all this together here to summarize everything. As the application developer here, I needed to put my application out into production. I needed to get infrastructure for it as well, but I didn't want to deal with any of the details. I want application portability in our multi-cloud maturity model where I don't have to worry about what environment it's going to run in. It could be Google Cloud SQL, or it could be Amazon, it could be Azure, it could be Alibaba, it doesn't matter. As an application owner, I want application portability and not have to worry about that. But then as the infrastructure owner, they want to make sure that people are getting self-service, so the application developer needs infrastructure and they'll get it, but it's going to be a particular class as a service that I'm okay with running in my environment. And that's all done in an application portable way so that it'll work on any cloud. And then we put all that together with GetLab Auto DevOps, with Crossplane, our multi-cloud maturity model, et cetera. And what we're seeing here is that we've enabled a multi-cloud continuous deployment story finally. So I think that's really cool. So thank you very much, I appreciate it.
