Yeah makes this guy look tiny Okay, how are we on time? Are we ready to start? Okay? All right. Thank you very much Thank you for coming out today. We're going to be talking tonight today about planning and enterprise open-stack deployment My co-presenter today is gonna be mr. Jeff Applewhite from NetApp over here. We're gonna start off I'm gonna talk about just some general Things that we've we've been you know Susan's been doing Open stack for what three and a half years now at this point something like that and we we've had lots of conversations with customers and We've seen that there's a couple of common themes that have come out in terms of what people need to do to be able to prepare for an open-stack Deployment, so we're gonna talk about some of those kind of general things from my standpoint I will talk about some specific details about how what decisions you make now how that's going to impact you down the line But but it will be somewhat general and then Jeff is gonna actually talk about Some work that he has done on reference architecture with Susan cloud and Susan opens that cloud and NetApp and some of his real-world experiences and and how he can help how how he managed to to do things so Should be fun should be exciting Right everybody's excited Now just for the record I had this a lot more fun I had like all these cool images in my deck last night that that I had like little comic book characters For each of the different things I was going to go through you know like you know when you're you ask yourself a question There's a picture of the Riddler and stuff like that and then I chickened out I decided that I didn't want to risk getting in trouble for you know copyright infringement or something like that so It's that I do have one image, but but but the most of them are guy took out There we go. Yeah. Okay. Got turn it on first. Okay, so we talked a little bit about About the agenda already, so let's go ahead and dive right into it So first question. Why are we even bothering to do an open stack deployment? Right? I? like this little this little cartoon right here because you know This is kind of the typically what happens in an enterprise right the the grand mantra for for for large enterprises Don't get fired right and there's the nobody got fired for by buying IBM I'm gonna buy windows because that's what everybody else is doing that even happens in the open source world where where People will say I'm going to buy go go with this particular Linux distribution because that's what everybody else is doing But at some point in time you had to figure out how you're going to differentiate from your cut from your competitors What are you going to do differently and in that point? You can't just this expect some magical thing to happen. It's going to take some time and effort now in the In it right now it is really kind of be seized kind like our superheroes right here By the people around them right IT's kind of under attack You've got the the CFO people the finance people are saying cut all your costs I'd wanted how to cut your budget in half, but I want you to deploy 40% more services Next year you have the line of business people that are saying you know you guys it takes me six months to provision a VM I can just go run my credit card out on Amazon and spin something up right now And if it breaks, and I'll just make you fix it later Even though you knew nothing about it in the first place anybody else had that happen Okay. Yep. So So the IT is really coming under siege. You know that kill them all All right, so let's talk about just some of these some of these questions you need to think about We in my experience in talking to customers and successful people 99% of your Time for law for implementing your cloud is going to be spent in meeting rooms Right the actual and you know for those of you who are here for the for the for the set the previous session when Cameron had his his appliance we have for speeding up the process of deploying an open-stat cloud and It's you can we can we can literally deploy a cloud out. We consistently can do it in and a day Maybe two or three The longest ones that we've done have been like two or three because customers keep saying oh well You did this we'll let's try and do it with this and shift the requirements a little bit But we can do that quite quickly So most of the time that you're going to be doing and what's going to determine your success is all going to be in the meeting rooms You have to be talking to a lot of different groups You have to involve all your storage guys your networking guys your end users your finance people all these people have states And what's going to happen in your cloud and so you need to make sure that you are talking to each and every one of Them so that when you get to the end of the process There are no surprises for anybody All right, so the first basic question you have to answer for yourself before you can go out and deploy your cloud is What problem are you trying to solve is it? I need to sound relevant in the press because I'm tired of analysts asking me what I'm doing and I don't have an answer around cloud That's one possible reason for your goal That's not necessarily the best reason to invest and do a multi-million dollar cloud deployment But it has happened before Usually you want to say okay our problem is that our developers and our QA people they need to be able to iterate through things faster And so we need to be able to provide these services for them. That's awesome Another one is like we talked about we've got the guys over in the line of business that keep going out to Amazon and Spin up instances and we need to make sure that we provide them the services that they need to be able to do the self-service Stuff so they don't have to wait around on it anymore And that can be a very different cloud from what you're doing if you're doing something that's targeted towards developers and QA Right because it's different levels of people And different skill sets So your your storage decisions might be different your performance Optimizations may be different so you really need to understand what problem it is that you're going to be trying to solve with your cloud Otherwise you're going to be starting to run into problems. I need to make sure I've got a timer up here So I don't I can talk for hours on this stuff. I'm Okay All right, and I've already used up 10 out of my 15 minutes. We were only on the first question Alright, how much of your current infrastructure do you want to keep in your current workflows? And what I mean is Implementing cloud is a lot of change, right? There's the whole you know, we've got the pets versus cattle mentality And we want to go to a cattle mentality so that we can just throw out any given server at any given time and nothing's Going to happen and then it's all going to be unicorns and lollipops for everybody But in reality when you're trying to mitigate risk, which is what most large enterprises are trying to do You need to be able to leverage your existing investments I just spent five million dollars getting my VMware stuff all paid for for the next couple years I got spent a hundred thousand dollars in training all of my staff so that they can be up and running If you go to your CFO and say I want to throw that all off the door and let's go go get KVM set up And retrain all of our staff and reduce their productivity for the first year while they're trying to figure out how to adapt to the new hypervisor in the new infrastructure Can you cut us a check for that? That's going to be a much more difficult conversation than saying okay We've got our VMware stuff right here. We're going to go ahead and leverage that We may add in some additional KVM on top of that so that you can do things like You know let's run our production stuff out on our tour of VMware But we can give the devs and the QA we don't want to pay the VMware tax for those guys So let's go ahead and put them up on Xener KVM Maybe you want to have some hyper V out there as well So that if you want to have so that if you have windows workloads, you don't have any incremental costs for spending up additional Windows workloads on those all those things all those different hypervisors you can run concurrently under open stack and it's all supported by Sousa and that enables you to to be able to To be able to leverage your existing investments and simply add on to it which which mitigates your risk Now the nice thing is because you can do and say your KVM and your VMware at the same time You can gradually spin up more KVM and take down some of the VMware as you want to transition slowly over and a natural progression and through your natural attrition You can do that, but it also gives you the escape hatch that says if I'm doing the KVM stuff And it's not giving me what I want I need to have my DRS on my VM where I need to be able to integrate this into my existing disaster recovery scenarios Having that escape hatch gives you the ability with open stack You can just simply transition more of your hypervisors back over to VMware And it's not going to change anything on the end user experience for your for your your line of business All right, so then then we get into the what are the business and technical requirements of process project? So this is things like okay. What are my SLAs right? What are what are my end users expecting in terms of downtime? I'm not running are my e-commerce platform on here like Walmart was has been talking about In which case, you know if I'm down for two minutes then with them. It's probably like a billion dollars that they lose I don't know what it is. I probably should they're my customer Any case But yeah, you know is there you can have that level of uptime You're gonna require for your cloud or is this gonna be more of again a more of a If it's down for 30 minutes because we're rebooting control nodes Then then that's not a problem. These are these are the kind of things that you want there Well that I'm talking about here in terms of business. What are your SLAs? What are your in it? What are they looking to demand from you? constraints for the project Generally, you're you know, there's the you can have it what you can have it fast You can have it quality or you can have it cheap and you can pick two of those three at the most and usually the Usually somebody one from the finance wants it to pick all three But at some point you have to figure out what what are the actual constraints on here? I know do we have a specific deadline that we have today hit, you know going back to the Walmart thing They were talked about there, you know, their business is cyclical They have a they have a shutdown that happens in November where everything freezes and you don't touch anything on the it Until after January, right if you have a if you have a hard and fast date like that That's going to change your approach compared to if it's okay It can take as long as it needs to but we just have to keep the cost down as low as possible So that you have to weigh those competing priorities because that is going to impact how things come out What additional resources you need to have to have a successful appointment, this is kind of my generic catch-all but This is something online along the lines of Do I need to make sure that I have? Do I need to add in temporary man count do I am I gonna need to have consulting resources? Do I have the expertise in house? To be able to do this or do I need to farm this out to somebody else or do I need to hire? additional people Understanding what resources you're gonna want to have is again going to make a large even directional Destinational change and in terms of your cloud deployment, and I know that these are very kind of broad and overarching Things that I'm asking you to consider but in all honesty all these questions have come up and all of the People that I have talked to you about clouds in one form or another But in the in terms of answering those questions the why the answers have been so wildly different Between all of them that it's really hard to say okay Here's a list of five things that you need to make sure that you do in order to have a successful And make sure you have you know your net app storage or your self deployment or make sure you have this plug-in for neutron The all these things are going to be different depending on what you vote depending on your specific location Not location Situation yeah, there we go Okay, so this right here is just kind of a diagram. I put together on an airplane a couple weeks ago Just kind of laying out. This is kind of this the service Architecture of what a cloud deployment is going to look like right so you got your your control plane here in the middle You've got your your your height your VMware Your VM hosts down here in the orange or yellow And then you've got your external stuff that you're going to be integrating with whether that be tools in The Susa world that's a Susa studio or Susan manager that you're going to integrate with that Maybe you have an external v v sphere cluster that you're integrating with All that kind of stuff is out there Okay, so how does it all come together so let's let's from a technical perspective Let's start looking at some of the specifics here of how do you want to group the control plane services? So typically You're gonna have as Cameron was saying in the in the in the previous session Usually what you say is you want to break out specific services such as your database and your Your networking and you want to be able to have those on their own independent clusters and Cluster usually needs to be three nodes so you can have quorum and stuff like that That means that if you have if you've broken out that the the database and the networking and then you have this stack for the remaining services You're talking about nine nodes just for the control plane. That may not be financially feasible So you can do some stuff for example And this right here. I have a four node cluster where they're all clustered together But you can use affinity groups to pull some of these know all these services by default out onto separate nodes And then if a node goes down it will start to combine things to get you up to keep you running while you fix the other nodes so you can do some stuff like this to kind of Save your costs if you don't want if you can't invest the infrastructure to have the full You know that dedicated service for each thing you can use affinity groups inside of your Inside of your cluster to be able to to take care of that And that that does bring that bring up the point of is a highly available infrastructure important You know, do you want to invest the time and effort in this?  What do you how do you want to do that? What's stoneth mechanism anybody know what stoneth is in the ha parlance? Okay, stoneth stands for he's he's raising his hand. He should he's actually done this Shoot the other node in the head. This is what it stands for. It's a fencing mechanism So if you have a cloud if you have a cluster and you have three nodes If one of them starts acting crazy the other two turn around shoot it in the head Put her down because you don't want that one that one node to start interfering with the with the operations and the services running on the on the the rest of the cluster So you there are a number of different ways you can do that You can tie into say the IPMI device and actually pull the power from the IPMI You can actually some of them you can tie into the the actual powers the power controls for the APC's and whatnot and you can pull the power that way you can do and Via SSH you can do there's one called SBD a split brain detector that enables you to do There's there's lots of different methods for doing this If you have questions about this, please feel free to come talk to us and we have some Suggestions, we may be able to help you work out How am I doing on time? Not very well. Okay, what how much time do we have we were going to I need to give you some time, okay, so Capture the side what hypervisors you want to support we support as KVM's and VMware and hyper V you can do all those concurrently I gave one scenario earlier where you would want to have those kind of things How do you want to handle storage if you're doing something that is very high-end? it has to have guaranteed execution times with low latency and Good performance you're going to want to have a NAS backing in backing up that backing up that infrastructure Whereas if you're going to be just doing just you know standard dev QA. That's not necessarily performance So that doesn't have those performance requirements Maybe you can do something like a sep or a swift as your as your back end use local disks. What not not him He's from NetApp he wanted He wants you can use both of them together you can have you can have multiple storage back-end so you could have You can have your you can have your high-end stuff rolled out on onto your NetApp or whatever And then you can have the lower and stuff roll out onto your onto yourself. Okay What neutron plug-in do you want to use? This is going into impact spiff various things in terms of your hardware interactivity. There's you know, there's direct If you're going to be using VMware for example, you have to use the VMware plug-in in order to be supported by VMware So you would need to do that and then also if you're gonna do that You need to make sure you use the VLAN encapsulation tool not GRE because vSphere does not understand GRE and you will not be able to communicate effectively or at all with your VMware hosts. That's that's kind of a bad thing I would think so Okay networking so These are the networks as it's commonly set up using the the SUSE setup and so these are all we have defaults That are in there and these are all really just kind of based around You know getting it out the door kind of stuff. So I want to walk through each of these networks really fast and And talk about how your decisions here will impact you down the road so that you can plan appropriately for your networking So the admin network, this is the network that you use for doing the actual pixie deployment of your your bare metal systems And whatnot because it is uses pixie pixie does not understand VLAN tags Right, so it cannot be a tag network It either has to be a flat physical network that can be isolated or has to be untagged to the ports You have to decide how you want to do it, but you have to do it The fixed network what this is is the internal communications layer for the cloud is it's the default network that every Guest workload by default is going to come up on you can tell it not to go up on there But for most part everybody's on this one So your subnet range on your fixed network right here that is going to directly impact how many VMs you can deploy on your cloud So if you pick a class scene network, there's a 24-bit subnet mask How many how many instances can you run in your cloud? 253 because you have to have one for the router. That's a trick question But yeah, but you've given yourself a hard upper limit You don't want to make networking choices that are going to limit you down the future So you need to take that into account The STN this is for the neutron stuff again, how many Overall network connections do you want to be able to use within your in your system? You need to make sure you give it an appropriate thing public. This is the the This can be the smallest one this the public network is used to expose the API in service endpoint services to to the outside world so at the very most You were talking about 1315 IP addresses if you have a single You know if you have a single IP address for each the different services You break them all apart. You could have as many as 1315 Different ones in in practice. You'll probably have about three or four So it's not it does not have to be very big the floating network However, this is how you expose the guest VMs to the outside world and this one is important Now the floating and public they both have to be within the same subnet range Okay, so you'd reserve the first X number of addresses for your public network and then all the rest of these over here over for your for your floating network the number of addresses that are in your floating range are going to directly impact the number the number of Guest workloads you can expose the outside world expose outside of the cloud. Yes Yes Yes, no they have to overlap they have to overlap so So you would have for example by the default The public is like 192 168 126 dot two through ten or fifteen or something like that and then the floating starts at like 130 or 150 or something along that and has a range of like 50 or 70 IP addresses in there But they're both on the same subnet because they have to be able to communicate with each other And they both have to be exposed to the outside world and you want to do that through a single continuous So you have to make sure that you have enough space in whatever net mask that you're using to be able to handle both of those networks concurrently And then storage if you're Swift, this is going to directly impact how many Swift nodes you're gonna have you know if you have again if you have a to a 24 bit sediment mask You're limited to 254 Swift nodes that you can use so All right, so coming back to our Diagram and honestly I cannot remember now because I did these slides a couple weeks ago And I can't remember why I came back to this diagram, but I'm sure it was important at the time Just a reminder that we've got you know the blue right here these guys of the networks So again, this is just kind of illustrating the fact that the admin network is going to determine how many of these hosts You can have software to find network you have a little bit more flexibility on here Then you've got your your flexible network and Fixed network is in here as well in the public floating network to expose out to the outside world. All right Additional considerations. We're gonna move fast identify patching strategy.  We have a bar clamp, which is a plug-in that says I'm gonna automatic I'm gonna run out patches automatically you can do that you can do Susan manager You can do a manual process you can do the cross your fingers and hope you get away without it Which is what most people end up doing for the most part Then you have to think about you know if I'm gonna do this as a proof of concept versus a production What are going to be the differences between those those? deployments and am I am I okay with those differences from an evaluation standpoint, you know your networking you don't necessarily have to be as as You have a lot more room for error on your networking when you're doing the POC versus a production You may do just a single control plane or put all the have a single cluster and have all the services on one for the POC, but then for production you spread them out You may wait to do your active directory integration until after you're doing production those kind of things Additional additional operate if you do all these steps Fist pump boy is gonna think you were awesome, and he's gonna tell the world about it This is gonna be your CFO because he or CTO or what whichever one that you roll up to who's going to Thank you for putting together this cloud Probably not gonna the C level people don't usually do that to IT people I've been the I've been the IT guy where the CEO decides to pull to to move up the moving from moving offices from two weeks from now to today and Then while we're doing that Doing that move for them He threw a party to celebrate the move that none of the people who were actually doing the move could go to because they were actually Doing the move so we're sitting there racking up servers and screwing stuff in and bolting stuff in while they were eating Sip and margaritas and stuff like that. Yay All right, you're awesome. Okay. We do have documentation Susa comm slash documentation Susa cloud 5 or if you just go to the comm slash documentation You'll be a you'll be in shape there to be able to find all the different stuff that you need All right, so that's it for me. I'm gonna turn the time now over to Jeff who's going to speak really quick See if I get some sound here. Yeah, okay, that's good. Well, I'm getting hooked up here. Let's see do I have Briefly tell us tell a quick story here while I'm while I'm getting set up. I thought I was trying to think you know how would I go about Explaining, you know what why net at with with Susa with Susa cloud 5 and Wow There's a kind of a repeated thing that we do at net app and our senior leaders training and I wanted to quickly tell the story I do have mostly technical content here, but I will I'll move on So we do this thing where they bring in all the engineers and the senior leaders to get them together They they they separate me into groups. They send down they bring in boxes and in the boxes are bicycles And they give them a tool set but the tool set doesn't have all the tools They need to actually to make the bike so this creates a situation where the groups have to work together They got to go around and you know borrow a bag and steal to get what they need to get get it done Thank you. They You know so and then they don't have very much time So they don't have they don't have the tools they need they don't have enough time They got to put these bikes together and a limited set they're there with all the high-level execs You know Tom Dorgon's our CEO is there and they finally get a point where okay? They call time some of the guys are the guys that win you know or get their bikes together or very happy and proud of themselves and Okay at that point, you know and some people just have a pile of parts because they don't know how to put bikes together So it's a big range, you know at the end of that they come in they take all the bikes or the parts or whatever way and they Say great job But what you didn't know is that we're giving these bikes to school children So they income to school children and bring the school children in these are the bikes you're gonna get and so there's a big Wide range of reactions. You can imagine the guys that did a good job or thinking Well, we put that bike together really well, you know the school kids gonna be riding this thing The guys that didn't do such a good job or you know cut corners. Maybe they didn't put their screws in tight enough They're sitting there. They're thinking to themselves Man wish I'd have spent a little bit wish I had a better bikes building skills So the the reason I tell this story is that's how we look at building our products in net up And so why would you pick net up and you can build, you know, obviously with a lot of other things? So our value is that we this is what we've been doing for, you know over 20 years Day down tapas a very long history We I mean so when we're building our our storage appliances, we're thinking about you know These appliances are gonna be running medical workloads. They're gonna be running, you know People's SAP installations. They're gonna be running payroll, you know It's not acceptable to say Sorry, you lost data. It's just not it's not something that we're built for so that's the value prop And now I want to dive into the actual so now I've kind of explained Why would you pick net up to use with this Susie up in cloud if you have important workloads? You want to run in a cloud? This is an architecture that will support, you know, two to two hundred compute notes compute notes because as As we were discussing earlier, we have a three cluster design where you have a data cluster composed of three nodes a Services cluster of three nodes and a network cluster of three nodes So obviously a lot of a lot of horsepower a lot of capability and bandwidth there to to support a large growing number of compute notes down here at the bottom and Then obviously mediated by the Susie up in stack cloud five installer, you know It does all the pixie booting discovering and all that so let me move ahead here Just a brief overview of net at architecture. So basically, you know, you think of a faz net faz unit It's a physical box. It has diss in it and moving from the bottom up as far as our architecture We have aggregates, which are basically, you know groups of disc raid groups you could or groups of raid groups You could think of we have what are called storage virtual machines Which are kind of a grouping of IPs and storage that can be moved between these Physical units so they're actually virtualized. They can be migrated on the fly without without an outage You can so it's non disruptive operations of what we're all about as I was saying we're building these things to be up If we need to do maintenance and know we can move actually move resources off of it, okay? at the higher level you have flexible volumes that sit on the aggregates here and then Finally you get to the where the actual services, you know hit the network Or you're either serving NFS or ischia which we're using both of those protocols in this design. So We move it, you know, we also have the capability have mixed disc type on the back end So if you need flash you need spinning media, you know, SATA discs for archival, whatever we can support anything flash to sasta SATA whatever you need Well, a lot of capabilities including deduplication, you know instant snapshots without performance hits what flex clone technology which is basically a flex clone is a Rightable snapshot so you can create a snapshot immediately start writing it and then the data that gets written is just the difference between The snapshot and what you actually need to store so As far as the deployment process here, there's some preparatory steps I linked at the bottom there if you actually if you want to if you those of you who are curious want to see the actual architecture of the deployment guide that we worked on that Susie it engineers and I worked on together You can go to that that Google link there and pull it up There's a lot of detail. Obviously. I don't have a lot enough time to go in in the full detail over all the details But so basically in a nutshell the preparatory steps are you want to set up your switch ports? For link aggregation, so you have you know high availability failover at the link link layer You're going to create or modify a storage virtual machine What I was talking about in the diagram the the the middle piece of the architecture that can actually move between nodes That's where you're going to be serving your NFS and your ice-cozy data from You need to create the and set up your ice-cozy disc for the share block device fencing So we're talking about stoneth earlier. They shoot the other node in the head in this design We're actually using ice-cozy disc as the stoneth fencing device So those are done through multi-path HA so there's high availability there and basically it's kind of like a voting disc Where the stoneth nodes communicate through to each other through those discs? And then moving up the stack you have your databases postgres sequel Rabbit MQ, you know for the Q sender glance Flex vols for where you're going to actually store your sender data and your glance images on the glance images We recommend deduplication you might get up to 90% space savings with that You think about you know, you have a lot of Linux VMs are all based on the same image You can actually deduplicate those blocks at the 4k block level and reduce your data storage down to greatly You can use it in the in production as well on the center volumes And then also there's an optional Section of the deployment guide for if you want to actually support live migration and what this means is in a case Where you have two hypervisors You want to be able to move that a VM from one hypervisor eight over to hypervisor B You need to have shared storage to mediate that so That's done through NFS mouse And then when you get in the actual deployment you build and configure we went through that you build and configure the Suzie opens that cloud 5 host you modify the network I'm going to show you that in just a minute how you modify the network for the store particularly for the storage network You run in Suzie install cloud important discovery, you know pixie boot your host they come up there seem they show up in the gooey as we saw earlier You install all the nodes with batch edit Once you've got your nodes up then you can hook them up to the block devices I talked about the ice scuzzy block devices so you can do your stone-thincing amongst your three hoes and Then you deploy your HA controllers and the open-sex services. So that's a very hell of a bit I'm not going to be to obviously go into everything But I'll show you sort of key parts and you can if you I'm gonna I'm gonna pull up the link to the Reference architecture again at the end you can pull that up and see the actual details of how to set up the stone-thince devices and fencing and all that stuff So basically what I did in this case So pretty much went with the sort of the recommended the Suzie networking scheme with the exception of the the storage network I had to modify that to get out to my actual storage network and the lab So this is how you would do that in the in the Yast interface So we're you know, so you can see that you're setting a range of addresses here The minimum IP address the max IP address and you do that by clicking down on the The edit ranges button down here at the bottom right.  That's where you know, your your databases live Your controllers Where all of your control services keystone glance sender all those things live on the services cluster And the cluster is the target that we deploy these things to we're not deploying to a single node When you drag and drop in the interface, it's actually to the cluster. So and All of the obviously all the the network services run on the network cluster Neutron This is where you would actually go in and you could select, you know That your batch edit mode and you can see how I've select I've grouped these in the batch In this with you know, their intended role whether their controllers compute network What have you you can go through and set them all you boot all your all your nodes up They come up you recognize them you select what role they have within the within the open stack deployment And then when you click, you know, you these are actually completed here If they they weren't you'd see a over here. You would actually see checkboxes But once you do that your boot and they come up they're complete. This is how it looks Okay, so this is a little bit of a kind of a two-screen shots This is down here. You can see well first of all pacemaker is the service that mediates the high availability Amongst the nodes in the three the three nodes in its cluster And as I said, we're using stoneth with the share block devices So in the guide, you'll see it talks about how to how to create the lines on the net app side how to map them on the host side And then once you've done that in the actual you have that sort of plumbing in place Then you come to your pacemaker proposal here you put in the block devices that you've set up You hit save you hit apply and boom it does all the magic There's no manual configuration of anything and I have to say What a pleasure it was working with since dollar really good job on it tell your your engineers. It's really it's really a good tool It's a it's a quality quality piece of work and And so once you have all these these clusters built you'll see you'll see your three clusters showing up You know, they're they're ready. They're available and then see you're on to the next next process Postgres SQL here, we're using shared nfs storage as you can see here I'm giving it a amount and all the details for this are in the guide as well But I'm just kind of giving you the highlights. So basically your your databases are now going to go in nfs storage You got block devices for clustering of the fencing And then shared shared nfs storage for your database As you can see down here, uh, we actually select the data cluster as the target for our postgres equal database So it's running on a cluster of three nodes if that makes sense glance We set up to you know to use nfs here version 4.1 which is pnfs. So it's highly available. It's almost like A lua or multi path for those of you who are familiar with storage protocols But a way to sort of dynamically figure out where can I get my data from without having to worry about fail Over the client is smart enough to know how to fail to a different target Which has about a big advantage is in a large cloud Uh Here we're starting to install our services. So in this example our keystone server gets dragged to the Services cluster that we've set up in the same process. Um as as in the other clusters Okay And then you get down to actually pulling the the netapp sender driver Which when you we know when you go to do a sender create for your block devices for your nodes There's a very nice spark lamp here. You can select either seven mode on tap in seven mode or cluster data on tap You can select your protocol. You want to use ice scuzzy or if you want to use nfs the The management address of the netapp faz that you have We recommend hgtps for security obviously 443 give it an at you know your username and your password here Um And you have to specify the name of the v server in this case the name of my v server my svm My storage virtual machine was susie cloud pie And then you have to give it uh at least one you can give it multiple exports here If you have if you want to have more than one export you can have One that's thin provision one that's thick provision one that has deduplication one that's mirrored You can have all kinds of different options on the back end when that app So you can create what we call uh, we call it our storage service catalog But basically it's a sort of list of services that you can depending on your needs So when you go and just say and you're in a horizon you want to click the drop down and select a disk type You can say well, I want this is an archival. So I'm going to put it on dedupe Or you know, whatever your need is, you know, if you need high speed flash disk You have a disk type for that you select that in your cloud So it's very flexible. We'll give you a lot of uh capabilities uh for different use cases Yes We're done. So this is basically it. Um sender And this is my last slide. So if you want to go and get the uh, the reference architecture There there it is at that link. Thank you everybody


And moving on to Biosylt State, some stakeholders have appraised Governor Doier-Diery's two years in office. They've spoken security and infrastructural developments in the state, saying that government has performed beyond the expectations of residents. A correspondent, Jesse SA, has details. Governor Doier-Diery will mark two years in office on February 14. While the state government has kick-started activities for its second anniversary, some residents speak on the governor's strides on road infrastructure. Some roads that are ongoing and some are finished already. So maybe I've walked this level on the senatorial district roads, Main Bay, Brass, and then Oklahoma, and then Edouard, and then this sub-Sahamaic removal road. Maybe I've achieved this height in two years compared to what other people have done in the past. I think the governor is trying... If you don't transportation to the Keremo, it cannot be open for sight.  Here in Anguara, Oklahoma, we don't go to Angama. Road traffic, you know, the importance of roadbring, development, road vision, everything. On security, they say there has been great improvement since the current administration came on board. Two years before now, we can walk freely in Tongbia by eight in the evening, without being harassed by woodlands. But today, if you go to Tongbia and about, even at 11 o'clock, you see people walking freely. If you also go to Swally, you will see that the same thing is happening in Swally. Even within the streets, there are lights, street lights in some streets which are giving birth to street vigilantes. In terms of security, it has done well. We all know what is happening. Every December, you cannot sleep with your two eyes closed. But this is in December because of the vehicles involved. The whole December, there are many incidents of security. However, a former member of the State House of Assembly, Foni Williams has a different point of view. The security situation is unabated in Nagua. Barely about three weeks ago, there is a man that is kidnapped in Nogbia main town. Barely two weeks ago, federal autocracy was kidnapped. Barely two weeks ago, another citizen was kidnapped in Dimro Street, right inside the state capital. What is happening? The security measures that are on ground are not yielding results because the government of the day is seeing security as a fiscal exercise, provision of vehicles and maybe providing logistics for security apparatus. Security has gone beyond that. So the government should give up to its responsibility. You also advise the government to focus on how to provide jobs, power and portable drinking water for residents as there has been no public water supply since 2013. Just CSA, plus TV News, Yenagwa. Thank you for watching.


I'm with Liz Trotter. Hey, Liz. Hey, Tom. Hey. Tuesday afternoon. We are after Memorial Day, so I guess not literally, but kind of, I guess from a field standpoint, we're in summer now, aren't we? Oh, yeah. I guess you're right. Can't tell it from where I live, but let me get my jacket on real quick. Is it that cold? It's like 60. Okay. So, yeah, it's a little nippy. I've got my heat on. Everybody has a heat on in the office today, so, yeah. Hey Bridget, hey Linda. So. The light's weird on here today, like my dimple is really showing. It doesn't normally. Weird red light. 90. Dang Leslie. Oh, I don't know. I think I'd rather have my 60s than your 90. That's a little bit much for me. It's not too bad here today. Temperature feels like it's in the 70s. Oh, nice. My favorite. You know, 75. Actually, anywhere in the 70s, I love it all. 70 to 80. Yeah, it's nice. So, we had a little bit of a glitch today, you guys, once we were trying to set up the book live. Just got off because of the holiday, so we ended up scheduling it for 10 minutes after. Some people are going to think that we're not even here yet. So, we're on a slow start. Yeah, we've got a few people. Anything happening in your world, Liz, that we'd want to talk about? Nothing exciting, I don't think. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Let's see. We've got this May 22, PPP final. Final interim rules. Don't you like that? Those are the final interim rules, but they're not the final. Because we really don't know what final final is. They're just recent rules. We're going to go over those a little bit. I don't know if any of you guys have already gone through all of these. Can you give us a little bit of highlights? But we thought we'd pull them up. And it's awfully small. Can you blow that up a wee bit, Tom? I'm trying. Otherwise, y'all are going to have to look at my nostrils because I have to get so close to the screen. It's looking better already. 26 pages, huh? I guess we could download that ourselves if we wanted to read through 26 pages. Marlowe, she's right on our page. Final, that's funny. We agree. That is funny. When I said it to Tom, I was like, yeah, we should talk about the final PPP rules. Yeah. So same thing. So I probably, my plan was to pull this and download it and read the whole thing. I just haven't made the time for it yet. So probably it doesn't look like anything better. I do define terms. They will cause interest on work. It looks like same. That's what I'm wondering as this is really, oops, sorry. Okay. So last Friday night, the SBA gave new weekend plans. This came out on the 23rd. So this was Friday night. Okay. Yeah. The whole thinking of, you know, the Senator from Maine and Rubio and all those guys extending the window for another eight weeks, that would blow all this up, right? Well, we had hoped, did you scroll down? Did you find anything round up? Tips about tips? Keep going. But now it's planning for interest. Keep going. This all is talking about the other 20% looks like. What's timing is everything? Hold on. They're timing. We care about that. You can't pay your interest. You can't pay for the years of interest. Yeah. But they're talking about, you can, you know, both ends again. That was weird. Well, but keep knowing that. Don't know. Maybe it really wants to do that part. I think, I think it's her fault. Ah, Molly, what are you doing? Isn't she getting bigger? Yeah, she is getting bigger. Yeah. But she still looks very puppy-ish, Tom. Very, very puppy-ish. She's getting a little faster, though. We let her out in the yard and have to work a little harder to keep up with her. She's going to have to have a, she's going to have to have a leash before long. That's what I'm thinking. Didn't you guys used to have an electric fence, right? Yeah. One of the things that went under the ground that the dog had a collar and it didn't really work. So we haven't even, I don't know. We might fence in the backyard this time. Keep her safe. Yep. Okay. Enough already about the 75% rule. Okay. Ah, ah, further addition. It doesn't, I'm not really seeing, like, off the top of my head a whole lot that's looking different. No. Nothing here to get excited about. Timing and payroll. Oh, that all looks the same. No, I'm really happy that I took so many speed reading courses right now. So bonuses and hazard pay are legit. Yeah. Which is, which is good because people were struggling with the idea of a bonus or hazard pay. So I do like that. And it's the same $100,000 rule. So I see general partners don't care. Most people aren't going to care about that. Bless you. Thank you. You're welcome. Self-employed individuals are still out of luck. Okay. So who was talking to us about that last time? Bless you again. What if you tried to bring them back Jack? That's going to be the same thing. Oh, they made it more liberal. Look at that. See that?  During the coverage. Okay. Oh, it looks the same. How is that more liberal? It needs to be a written offer. You have to let the unemployment office know that you offered them a job. So that's actually, um, harder on them, easier on us. Link, please. Oh, Leslie needs the link. Yeah. We're just sitting here reading. Sorry, you guys. I guess you don't want to get on this Facebook live and watch us read. Yeah. So much fun. Okay. Let's stop with this. Tom, yes. I'm going to read it too later, but we're not going to read any more of this Tom. See, we're terrible. We really want to read it. How about you did have some homework yet to do? Not my ties in that great y'all. Yeah. We had a question that came up Friday. I wanted to know about alcohol as a disinfectant cleaner. And didn't have, felt like, you know, we had the best answers. So we said, let's do the research and we'll, we'll give you a good answer on Monday. And this is center of disease control. CDC, CDC is a wealth of information. Anytime that you're looking to answer questions in the area of, you know, hygienic cleaning, how to, how to, how to, you know, prevent disease and stuff like that. I guess we kind of, you know, stand to figure that center of disease control would have information on that and they do. So overview here pretty good. They basically say that it does a decent job as a disinfectant. Descent or effective? Alcohols are rapidly bacterial rather than barostatic against bacteria. So what they're telling us is there's a lot of pathogens out there, bacteria specifically, but other pathogens that alcohol will do a good job of killing. But unlike a lot of other disinfectants that the EPA will, you know, recommend for, you know, various, various pathogens, it really has no residual effect. That's what that bacteriostatic means. It's a lot of disinfectants that if you use them, it'll keep bacteria from growing for a matter of days or longer depending upon what disinfectant you're using, what pathogen you're dealing with. Alcohol not so much. That's good info. It says that if the alcohol gets below 50%, it's not very efficacious. It says it doesn't do a good job of destroying bacterial spores, which can be problematic. But, you know, against a variety of microorganisms, the exposure range can take anywhere from 10 seconds to an hour to get a kill rate. So that's kind of the other thing about it. That's what type of pathogen you're going after as to how long it would take. Couldn't find anything specifically about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and what it causes COVID-19. But it does say it's a potent virus-idle agent. And if you think about it, it's basically when you're using a hand sanitizer, that's what you're using. Yeah. My general takeaway from reading this, though, is if you're looking for a disinfectant to use in your cleaning process, you're probably better served using an approved disinfectant as opposed to doing it with alcohol. In the absence of having a disinfectant, alcohol is certainly better than nothing. Somewhere down here, they basically explain that if you're in a pinch, you can use it, but alcohols are not recommended for sterilizing medical equipment and a lot of other health care, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's not the best deal. While I was there, I saw this that I wanted to share. Last week, we talked about how the CDC came out with some research and it was supported by a blog post that we shared last week as well that's in the resource page for cleaning business today that a lot of the spread is through close prolonged contact, human-to-human droplets being shed and people inhaling them. A lot of people believe that, well, gee, maybe I don't have to worry about washing my hands anymore because this whole thing about high-touch areas and cleaning stuff and sanitizing disinfecting maybe isn't that important. The CDC tried a couple of times to correct that. They finally, you know, third time to charm, I guess. Here's a statement and you guys need to hold on to that link. If you hear from a customer or anybody else that high-touch areas really aren't that much of a concern, the CDC basically backed off of that and said that it still is a concern. You need to keep your high-touch areas clean. You need to be washing your hands and following all the necessary precautions. Yay, so is that the link you just threw up there, Tom? The video library? Yeah, yeah. Okay, great. Actually, I might, I think I'll just add that into my daily mail for the next week or so. That's good. I like it. I think my people, I don't know if they like it or not. Nobody's actually called me and said, hey, Liz, I like these updates that you're doing. But if they don't, I'm assuming they do. I keep doing them.  Hey, CDC update. Sure, they know a lot of this stuff already, but I like doing it, so I'm going to continue. Especially for cleaning service, it's a little more valuable. Yeah, exactly. Oh, this is the whole reason why I'm doing it. Marlowe gave some information from Megan. Megan mentioned earlier today that she thinks they'll do a final this week, a final final, not a final interim. Because some of the people, their eight weeks are up next week. She also said she heard that they may extend the eight weeks to 16 or 24. I also heard 12. So I don't know. I guess they're just looking at all of these different options to see what's going to make the most sense. Did she mention anything about more money? I haven't heard anything from anybody saying that there's more money coming down the pipe. Because if they extend from eight weeks to 16 or 24 weeks, the people who start their money before they change all the rules aren't going to have any money because they want to serve it out, et cetera. So I'm wondering if they can give people a little bit more money. I don't know if you heard anything Marlowe, but you did. Let me know. You want the latest, you want the latest, Kenny? Yeah. Okay. This came out at noon today. The House will vote Thursday on legislation that will relax restrictions on companies that borrow money through PPP. The House Majority Leader tells reporters there's a general consensus that the House and Senate, that the timeframe that was set was too short. Fourier says there's not much time to resolve between the House and Senate versions of the bill. Says he expects the Senate will pass the House version with unanimous consent. I think the... Do they say what the House version was? What was the House version? Timeline extensions the implication, meaning that they would give us more time. But we don't know how much of that. Yeah, and I don't belong to BloombergTax.com. You know what? I do get a weekly Blunker magazine hard copy, and it may be in there. I find a lot of that stuff is in the magazine. But it seems like the day after tomorrow, they're going to be voting on it. There's going to be more changes, and it sounds like it's going to be good for us. That's going to be the thing. Well, gee, if I'd known that before, I'd spent, you know, I've made some different decisions six weeks ago, but we're still complaining about free money, right? Yeah. But I mean, it is kind of a bummer for the people who's eight weeks and next week. Now, it's kind of a bummer for them because they have already, you know, spent their money in the ways they spent. But one thing that I wanted to talk about a little bit today, just a tiny bit, is I talked to two people in the last two days that have both said they're not going to spend all of their PPP money. First off, this extension makes it hopefully much more likely that they will spend it. But I don't really understand why they, why anyone would not spend all their PPP money. If, especially with the new rules that have been written around bonuses and hazard pay, why not? Why? What are the reasons for not spending all the money when you get to the end?  And now they have another who knows how long day for them.  It gets back. I mean, one reason would be if you didn't meet all the criteria to have it all forgiven, I guess, and depending upon how much you have to pay back, if you don't spend it, it's going to be easier to give that part back, right? Yeah, but why would you not be able to spend it? I mean, however much you got, well, maybe if... You can spend, you can probably spend it, but... No, I meant in accordance with the way everything's written so that you could have it forgiven. But I just thought of a way that you could. You got to get your head count numbers right. Yeah, if your, if your head count numbers are right, but some of the people did not come back to work.  But you got to have enough work to generate revenue off the people that you do have. Not really. You can, you can create work for the people that you have. If you're not making money off of it, then... Let's go for a given. And still everything... We're still here. I'm not sure exactly these spreadsheets change, you know, every other week or so. We're still waiting for the final rolls. I would say that I would say that it's not 100% guaranteed that we know exactly how to make sure all of it's going to be forgiven. I'm... I'll give you that. So... They've changed too many things too many times that, yeah, I could see that. I had three people not come back and only a third of my clientele. Whoo! Oh, you mean a third didn't come back? Okay. Yeah, I think a lot of people are seeing not everybody coming back yet. But I don't know anybody who... And I'm sure there are people out there, but I just don't personally know anybody who isn't still having clients coming back. Every day, getting another couple of clients coming back and that... Chances are good that we're going to get, I think. At least my estimation is most people are probably going to get back 90% of the customers. You know, there's going to be that 10% that are like, oh, I've been cleaning all this time. I didn't realize I didn't need cleaning anymore. Or, oh, only a third are back? Wow, how long have you been open, Leslie? I'm just curious if a third are back.  That could make a big difference, too. Can you guys imagine what it's like in my head? It just never shuts up in there. In the economy, the unemployment rate, you know, there's a lot of other factors other than just the pandemic itself. There's a lot of economic stuff going on out there that will have an impact on demand as well. And August because of school, yeah. I know down in Texas, they're having some other problems, too, right? Oil, oil problems. Causing some grief down there. It's not level across the country, depending upon what's going on in your local economy. It might be better or worse. And which people are affected. In some areas, it's more the service workers that are being affected in other areas than that. It's the people that would be paying the service workers. So which I know they're dealing with a little bit of taxes. I wonder if that could be what's happening, too, in California, or less they is. Yeah, Shannon, yeah. We have school teachers that do that a lot, though. In the summer, they'll take off and stay home. I don't know if that's just a specific Northwest, but we do have a lot of teachers that do that. Stay home and clean themselves during the summer. Do you hear the weird... Anybody else hear the weird, like, Charlie Brown feeds out? Future client is just taking them off, presumably in August. Yeah. No, you're not hearing it, Tom? Well, I was not in my home, no. And then it's something like, eh, eh. Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Rosemary, third week back, we're about 50% of our clients back. I feel like that's pretty good. Only a few cancels. I believe I will have most come back. Yeah, I think that's pretty good. That's kind of what we're hearing across the board. Leslie, you do, too. Yeah, it was me. How about, yeah, they're hearing it, too. It's a little bit better right now, actually. Lots of background noise. I know. I thought it was just me. Tom, couldn't hear it. Glad you guys could hear it. Yeah, Charlie Brown is strong. How about Charleston, Atlanta? Tom, how are the numbers keeping back up? We're probably about, well, we're over 50% in Charleston and in Greenville and Atlanta. We're probably right at 50. Atlanta is a little bit slower, but they open later. We've only been at it a couple of weeks there. So you're about the same two, three weeks, right, depending on the different branches. Two weeks in Atlanta, three in Greenville and Charleston, yeah? Yeah. So similar was Marion. It sounds like it's about the same numbers. Leslie, how long have you been? It sounds like a radio is on. I'm right. Don't play with something here to see if I can get a better outcome. Let me see if this works or no. Already has been sounding better. Like right now I don't hear the feedback at all. So I said all. And I heard it. Take one day off and everything just falls apart, Liz. I know. Did everybody take the day off? I know a lot of people that did not take the day off. So yesterday I had. I had a one-on-one with somebody, just a coaching call, and I thought we're going to be the only ones working. But then my masterminds accountability group, the MMA, the success group, they said, hey, Liz, since you're not going to open up the call today, we're going to do a separate call. They're on the call for three hours. They're like, what are you guys doing? Don't any of you work? They're like, no, it's a holiday. So on the holiday, you get on the phone for three hours and talk about work. Y'all are crazy. Crazy. OK, much better. No day off. Yeah, same as me. No day off. Bridget, you took the day off or you worked? There's a lot of people I guess we're working yesterday. We worked here for half a day. So I think I already shared that, that I told everybody if they worked their schedule, they get all their hours of their points. So everybody worked. Everybody was happy to work. Get all that. You said working. Yeah, I did some work yesterday, but for most of our cleaning operation, that was a day off for them. Yeah, for people out in the field. Does this sound better? I'll let you guys say. Like, maybe a little bit better. We're still getting some Charlie Brown. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Who is the guy with Charlie Brown with the peppermint patty? No. The teacher. The teacher was the one that one. The teacher. Yeah, the teacher. Good job. At Rosemary. Yes. That is better or. Yeah, you're right. It was the teacher. I haven't seen that show in a long time, though. So anything else new? Anybody else not gotten their PPP money? I was talking to somebody today. That he got his $10,000 advance three weeks ago and still hasn't gotten his, his idol. Yeah. They're all saying it's a little bit better. Martha, do you know if the essential employees will be getting the $450 a week bonus for working through the pandemic? We haven't heard if it is. Oh, Amber hasn't gotten hers yet. Sorry, Amber. I don't know that that's been approved yet. Do you talk? I don't think it has been. I hadn't heard that it had been approved. What was the name of it? Do you remember the name of it? I can't remember the name of it. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. If you remember the name of the act, Martha, let us know. Is the thinking that cleaning professionals would be considered essential employees? Could be that the ISSA was definitely pushing that way. Maybe not residential so much, but could be. Rosemary waiting for the deposit. Yep. But you got approved. Yay. I'm glad to hear that. I know a lot of conversation going around again with people. The later you get it, it's another one of those things. Unless you absolutely need it right now, the timing of it is not that big of a deal. The longer it goes, the longer until you have to pay anything. Talking to a guy today, he's like, for $100, I can hold on to $150, depending on when you got your money. A lot of people got $150,000. For $100, you can hold on to $150,000. Keep it in your account for a year. See how things are playing out. And if you don't need it, kick it on back. But either way, you got that nice, what do you call it? Golden umbrella.  Got an email from SBA about the idol today. Have been afraid to open it. See you tomorrow. I love it. Bridgette, open it. Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us what it says before our Facebook Live is over. Yeah, come on. So I am, you and I are not buddies in this way. Because I would have that thing open so freaking fast. I would not be able to sit with it. No matter what else was in the email, that would be the first thing open. My husband, my children, my grandchildren, sorry, got to check on that idol. I'm waiting. Maybe tomorrow. Crazy girl. Crazy. Diane is watching. What are you watching, Diane? Do you know what she's talking about, Tom? Watching us, maybe. Watching us. She's watching, waiting to see what Bridgette's idol loan amount is. Or if you're even getting it, right? So I did hear, oh no, sorry. We already talked about that. About the idol, maybe increasing monies again. And we did talk about that they opened it back up for non-agriculture. Oh, she's watching us. Sorry, we're not as entertaining as we have been. Oh, so Leslie is like me, right? She pulled her car over to read it. Yes. We're the same. Absolutely. I would totally be pulling my car over to read it, too. What am I getting from the SBA? I'm reading that now. Okay, good job, Bridgette. Don't leave us all in suspense. Okay, but on the flip side, Leslie, I pulled it over to read it. Yes, I'm reading every single thing about it. But then when I finally got it, it was time to sign the paper. Yeah, sign everything, give me my money. I didn't read any of that stuff. All right, what is Milo have here? An email today from SBA too, but it just said, we've received multiple applications from your business for the idol. Your earliest application will continue to be processed and you have a withdrawn application number. Okay, well that just means you applied multiple places. Good, that's awesome. And they kept your earlier one. That's good. I haven't heard anybody getting that email today, but it is great. Capital 1360 is offering a good savings percent rate and a $500 new account incentive. Oh, well that's smart, right? Yeah, but they're going to take advantage of people getting this money. Okay, Bridgette, I guess it's logged in. Loan portal. Finally, yay, good job. Aren't you glad you opened it now, Bridgette? Yeah, and click on the link and give it a path forward and get more rolling. You're sleeping better tonight now, girl. Oh, she had to apply twice because it crashed. They got both apps. Yeah, awesome. Yay, Bridgette. Yay, I know it feels so good to finally get it. Anybody else have anything else going on? Anything new? Everybody's kind of a slow start to the week, right? You remember last week we shared a blog article from a guy Aaron's somebody. He was a Dartmouth professor and it was explaining kind of the latest thinking in terms of how the virus spreads. Yeah. I read an article this weekend that was in a Salt Lake City newspaper and it's kind of long. So what I am going to do is I'm going to paste the link here before I start. Don't forget. OK. I have a resource page for cleaning business today. I already got that taken care of. But this is a really awesome article. Places that we may frequent in our day-to-day lives and some of the statistics in terms of what we know and how the disease can be spread. At the end of each section it kind of gives us a thumbnail of what to think about. Some of it maybe is common sense but it's good to have that common sense backed up with numbers. Bars and clubs for instance. Dance floors are probably incompatible with social distance. High capacity bars and clubs are going to be locations of super spreading events. A lot of what they talk about here is the spread is going to happen. What they are really trying to do is, I am sorry, what just happened there, go away. Stay away from these super spreader events. Yeah. Buffets. Buffets. For example, I saw today Golden Corral closed all of their company-owned stores. I forget how many of them there were but it was a material amount. There's still a number of franchises out there kind of trying to hang on doing delivery and stuff like that. It's kind of hard to imagine how Buffet is going to come back. So we have a Buffet and I can tell you how they're working our Buffet here locally. It's the most popular Buffet you've never heard of it. Oh, you have, Tom. It's Izzy's. I think when you guys came here we ate there. All right. So what they do now is for the Buffet they have a, it's very old fashioned. It's kind of fun. They have like a little sheet of paper and very old fashion, like I said, and it has everything that they have listed on it. And you just write on there a small, medium, or large, like SM or L, like do you want a little bit of medium amount or a lot of this thing? And they'll bring you a plate with that. So you're like, I want a small amount of green beans. I want a large amount of potatoes. I want a medium amount of gravy.  So you still get the Buffet experience, but somebody else is bringing it to you. So I love it because I can get even fatter now because I don't even have to get the small. Did any more police to do that? I'm sure they do. Yeah. I'm sure they do. It makes sense that they would. But this is an amazing, must be an amazing place to work because as long as I've been going there, they have had the same employees working there. I'm sure they have other employees too. But right now I can picture four employees from that place that have been there at least 10 years that are not family members. So it's a pretty good place to work. Just trying to hire two people. People aren't showing up for interviews. Yeah, we hear bad luck.  Is this your buffet thing here? This is a bus. This is a bus in China. 66 passengers were on a bus. They were going to a worship service and they had a 50-minute ride each way and they're setting the same seats going and coming out of 66 people, 24 became infected. They showed the seating arrangement. One of the things of interest here, you see over here on the, right here where it says IP, this was the infected person. Okay. With the exception of the person setting right next to the infected person, everybody else against this side over here with the window and the circulation of the air was like blowing up and over. None of those other people got sick. But the intake was over here on this side. You see, everybody over there got sick. Yeah. Not everybody, but a larger number. A good number. So, you know, seating position matters. Air flow matters. And they kind of get into it. What are the NCs, Tom? No, no one got sick. That was sitting in that seat. But there was somebody sitting there? Yeah. And here's like a seat that was empty where nobody was in it. Oh, the gray. Okay. I was looking for, where are the empty seats? No, no case. They had, apparently they only had one empty seat. A couple of people, asymptomatic. And these numbers here in blue are the number of people that these people infected. Like this person here got sick and made for other people's sake. Oh, wow. So there's a lot of them that have zero, though. That's interesting. They just got sick and didn't make anybody else. As far as they know, as far as the vehicle tries. Well, this is awesome. I really love this. Link, where'd you find this little jump? Oh, just scouring. This was a Salt Lake City newspaper. But this is an awesome, this is an awesome article, I think, because, you know, if you're riding a bus, something to think about, um, choir, singing significantly raises the likelihood of transmission. The idea of getting together and close, just the amount of viral shed when people are thinking seems to be really high. Because you're really expelling that stuff. Yeah, I can't imagine that it wouldn't be that. I see what you mean about common sense, but a lot of times it's helpful to see that. Just study with the church and super spreading events are happening in churches, singing in buffets, I guess, or things that oftentimes happen in churches and both of those are problematic. Oh, I thought you said singing in buffets. No, singing in buffets is like a double whammy. Can't do that. All right, I got you. Family gatherings, you know, hugging and sharing foods, probably not cool. First restores, constant movement in a spacious building helps prevent exposure to coronavirus and drops, which matches the study that we saw last week from the Dartmouth professor. It's like, you know, at a grocery store, I mean, you still want to take proper precautions, wash your hands, and hopefully everybody's wearing a face mask, but just passing somebody in the grocery store doesn't seem to be problematic. Jim, here's some studies in a Zumba class. I think this is one where the instructors are getting sick. Because they're there longer, they're in the area. That makes sense. High-intense workouts may be more dangerous than low-intense workouts. Makes sense because you're breathing more in, sucking it in. Here's a mall. This was in China. Yeah, like seven stories. And this person here was infected, infected people on this timeline days here. And these up here were people that these people got infected. And then it spread to other floors. Weird. High-traffic numbers, one mall or a large store of people, even though the likelihood of any individual customer being infected is low. Good to know. Offices. We saw this study last week. This was the Dartmouth professor. Had that same study. Yeah. And spending a long time near an infected person is, you know, not a good thing. Restaurants, we saw that in a study from China. It was actually a COVID ward that hallway transmission and just beyond open areas didn't seem to be that big a deal. But enclosed, shared, like bathroom facilities that, you know, people are going in and out of seem to have a much higher incidence of spread. Short amount of time like an elevator ride doesn't seem to be as dangerous. Again, the Dartmouth professor thing, if you needed a thousand units of, you know, shed RNA virus, if you will, it's just a matter, you know, it's a matter of concentration in time. And if the amount of time exposure is short. Here's a study in an airplane where we had an infected person and the other people that got sick. Going on an airplane with a cough. Need to wear a mask. If there's some of the cough, those viral particles can likely travel more than six feet, but not throughout the airplane. The odds of an outbreak on an individual plane are deemed to be low. Wow. That is not what I would be thinking at all. That's one that doesn't fit with my, you know, just my common sense thing. I would think that small area, long period of time, you know, three, four, five hours. Talking about polling places, in-person voting either has a small or neutral impact on spread when precautions are taken. Schools. Schools are a significant source of spread for other diseases like the flu, but so far, not the coronavirus. We don't know why. We don't know why because it's an unprecedented Finally, good job, Tom. Good job. Yeah, almost like that one. Oh, we got some questions over here. I was so involved in what you were doing. Let me see what I got over here. I'm just trying to hire two people. Yep, Sterling. Keep at it. Keep going. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. I know a lot of people are having really good luck on Indeed right now. So I don't know where you're looking, but check out Indeed. And remember, even if you've tried some place in the past and it hasn't worked, always circle around and try again because you never know when that's going to change. Charles, do you all still offer the foundations to success mastermind groups? Yes, we do offer foundations. How that works with the mastermind groups, though, is when you sign up for foundations, you're automatically placed into the mastermind accountability groups. You get free admission for six months in the MMA groups. Leslie, this is also a great article. Ooh, Tom, you're like this one. Another one from Aaron Bromage. The risks, know them, avoid them. So, yep. Yeah, Leslie. Leslie found fire today. The reason why they're not getting a lot of spread in schools because they're closed. Funny. You're funny. Rosemary, let's go to Nashville. I don't understand the reference. What's going on in Nashville? That must be a news thing. You don't know, Tom? I have no idea. Yeah, no idea. Leslie Phyllison. Is that something going on? And, Starlene, you're using Indeed. We have also been having really good luck with Facebook where in the past we didn't necessarily have that great of luck with Facebook. It was kind of hit or miss. But lately, really good luck with Facebook. So, maybe check that out. Oh, this is that restaurant one. Yeah, this is the one that we posted the other week. Yeah, I remember. This is the one that I was like, are you sure it's a guy, Tom? That spelling is usually a girl spelling. Nope. Maybe we decided that wasn't it. We had a play prep to even talk about the gender. Yep. That happened and then I'm bringing it up again. Yay me. I love it when I do that. So awesome. All right. How are you guys doing with your testing? Passing out tests? I will check Facebook out. Thank you. Yeah. And what we did with Facebook, the thing that made the difference, was to make them leave Facebook to give you their application. Instead, have them apply right within Facebook. And then if you want to engage with them, accept their application, then after that, then kick them over to whatever, you know, like we use People Matter. So if you want to kick them over to a platform, don't make them go there too soon. Engage with them through Facebook. That is what really helped us a lot. Yeah, good. Bridget, how can we get in another MMA group? Are we able to do the short foundations this past summer? Yes, Bridget, you are. I sent, I thought you were on my list of people that I sent a messenger to. Actually, it doesn't matter. I will. Oh, no, you're not. Okay.  Yeah, you just got to fill in a short little application. It's not hard. It's easy. Let's see. One of my students is not able to open session three. The rest have gotten it. Is there something going on? Any ideas there, Tom? If everybody else has been able to get to it itself, one person, I don't know, was that person able to get to sessions one and two? If you want to take their login information and put it in an email and send it to mail at moderncleaning.com, we can take a look on our end. Linda, you didn't get your MMA info?   I will send it out again, Linda, when I send it with Bridget. I'll get it out for you. Okay. Anything else going on? Are we going to get out of here early?  Clean your business today, Tom. Clean business today. Where'd it go? Anybody that's not a member? The website. And she did get session one and two, Tom. Linda is saying. Just have her try again. Yeah. That should work. Have her try it again, maybe. I don't know. If she tries again, it doesn't work. Let us know. Yeah, I will add you, Rosemary. Yeah, I'm glad that you are liking the training. Leslie, I knew you had Beatrice too. I'm going to be shocked if anybody says that they're not. Another thing I'm really liking about this course, we kind of went back and forth a little bit, is we have multiple people that are presenting, right? There is Matt Ricketts and Janice. Obviously it's mainly her material. Janice Stewart and Joe Walsh. And then me. I'm also presenting. And I think it's kind of cool to break it up this way. Because when it's just one presenter, it can feel long. Even with four presenters, it's really long. It's seven classes, eight hours. Is that right, Tom? It's about eight hours, right? But it's broken down. Classes are broken down into multiple modules as well. And how many modules just depends on the class. So you don't have to grind through it all at one time. You can do it in bite-sized pieces when it's convenient. But still, it's a lot. It's eight hours. Oh, I mean, it's a lot of information. Oh, Carol, I've got you. I'm adding you to the MMA list. I'll get that out. When I get off this call, you guys, I'll send that over. But it's a lot of information. I mean, as we're building these things, our biggest problem has been trying to get them down to a manageable amount. There's so much information. It's crazy. Leslie, I wish I could buy in bulk and have them for a year. Breaking it up is great. We're going to have options like that soon. We could buy and maybe have access for the course of the year. It's a new platform up and running. And we're working hard on that. And a big part of getting the new platform up is transitioning over from the old platform because we've got so many people that have signed up for the COVID class as well as PHC that we need to get all their login information over and not only just get it moved over, but get them organized by company. So every company will have an administrator that can go in and then manage their people. So we're, I guess, working really hard to get all that straightened out. And it'll be there sometime later this week. And we're going to have a period of time when we're not going to be signing up or not actually putting people in classes on the old platform so we can get everybody moved over to the new platform and then we'll push them over to the new platform. Hopefully we can do that in like a day. With the new platform. Don't worry, Leslie. That's all going to play out to your advantage, I promise. Yeah. It's going to be good. We're going to take care of everybody who signed up. It's going to be good. Oh, Martha, I got your name on my list. I got you. I'll send you in with everybody else. Yeah, I know, right? Isn't that going to be awesome to know? Especially because so many classes, seven classes. How are you going to keep track? Especially like you, what do you have like 30 employees? I mean, how are you going to keep track of who's done it? Who hasn't? Who's gone through what stage they're in? I think this is going to be amazing having one administrator be able to track everybody's progress. Also, you'll be able to see where they are with the knowledge checks, right Tom? Yep. I mean, I feel like it's going to be really, I'm just super excited about it. I think it's going to be really, really, really good. It's a whole brand new level of training for people. And you know what else I really like? So you guys, anybody that's taking this program, it's going to be really easy to see. It's going to take you like all of the first 15 minutes. You're going to be able to see that this is kind of a light version of the HCT program. It's just more directly relatable for your professional house cleaners. Okay? So it's not going to be a surprise, but what is really going to be nice is that we can have this ongoing training. That was so hard with the HCT program. Don't get me wrong. Love the HCT program, right? I sent all my people through it. So don't get me wrong. But I love this ongoing, the ability to be able to have ongoing. Ooh, I love that piece. Yeah, right, Leslie? So important. I love that. Anyway, ooh, I just realized, um, straight up, three o'clock. I did lucky. Any business today, if you haven't subscribed right here, just real simple email first name, last name. If you haven't subscribed, please do. You'll get on our mailing list to stay up with all the late breaking. Any stuff every time we add content, we'll send out a newsletter, at least every other week. Recently, it's been more recent than that. But our super secret link here for smart business moves participants, if you do, forward slash coronavirus dash downloads, get off of my computer. Molly. Here we go. And the article that I was showing you today is right here, the last one, coronavirus spreads in those everyday places. The one that Leslie was sharing with us is up here. Some of the risks know them. They're in a bromage blog. He's really good. He's got other posts on there as well. That are worth the visit. If you are interested in PHC, it's basically go to moderncleaning.com. We got both programs. I mean, people are still signing up for the COVID class. And if they haven't, you got people out there cleaning homes. This COVID class is a three hour class on just the stuff that they really ought to know about COVID to keep them safe and your clients safe. The PHC programs over here on the right, and you go down here to sign up. Say, Dad, get off. Stop playing on the computer. Play with me. She was asleep. Aw. I can almost smell her puppy breath. They do have puppy breath. Say there. Oh, that works. I forgot what that smelled like. Yep. I can almost smell it. It's good enough smell. I remember it now. Oh, look at Carol said that she saw the benefit of having two employees watch the classes together in our office on a TV screen. They collaborate and stay more attentive. I can see that being true. How did you deal with the certificate issue? Did you? Did you just not worry about that at all, Carol? I'm just curious. Because the certificate is the least important part of the whole thing, right? So that's why I was just curious. I can understand it. It was not an issue at all. OK, Tom, it's been an hour. OK, guys. Thank you. More information coming tomorrow. It looks like our federal lawmakers are making some things happen. We'll try to get some more information on the latest and greatest of where PPP is going. And anything else that happens in the next 24 hours, we'll see you tomorrow at 5 o'clock Eastern. You guys have a good evening. Bye-bye. Bye, y'all.


Breathwork is very trendy these days. Whether it's you've learned from Wim Hof or some other local practice that's making your hands go numb from breathing in and breathing out so rapidly. But in general, breathwork goes back for thousands of years. And in this video, I thought I would share a very simple breathwork technique that you can do when you begin to feel stressed. Hey guys, I'm Dr. Alex Hine, doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine and author of the health book Master of the Day. So before we jump into this video on breathwork, I have two very important links right below the video. The first is that there's a free guide for daily rituals that can potentially help you add years to life with traditional Chinese medicine. You can download that right below this video. And the second is if you'd like to learn about becoming a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine, there's a link below to contact my private practice. Now in my mind, a lot of the yogic practices and a lot of the Qigong practices inherent to Taoism and Buddhism are probably the original forms of breathwork in the world. No doubt every culture on the world had basically around the world the shamanic practices have some closely close ties with breathwork or altering breathing to alter one's state. But when it comes to the day-to-day person, of course, we all are seeking altered states. But in general, breathwork is one of the best ways to change your state. That is how you feel. It's one of the fastest ways to change your physiology without putting something in your body, right? Without pharmacological methods. So even when you translate the term Qigong, I mean literally means Qi work. And in modern Chinese, I mean you're basically talking about breathwork, right? You could make it sound mystical, you could make it sound practical. I'll leave it up to the Qigong masters to define that specifically. But breathing exercises, specific in some ways unnatural and in some ways very elaborate breathing exercises are an inherent part of Qigong, which in many kinds of traditional medical lineages was always viewed as one of the essential practices to become a real Chinese medicine doctor or practitioner. But when it comes to you, day-to-day there's a simple breathing exercise that's not complicated, not mystical, it's not religious or pseudo-spiritual and you can do it to feel better right away. Now one final thing before we jump in, Qigong is one of the best ways to improve your cardiovascular health. And your heart health and your immune system without having the damage and the stress that for example intense physical exercise or excessive running will have on your joints. So for example, someone who has cancer or someone who is seriously ill or fatigued will feel worse from physical exercise. But they can do Qigong hours a day and they will just feel more rested and will feel more rejuvenated with even less sleep. So one of the clear clinical benefits I see from it is that it is a way to build your reserves and build your energy without being exhausted and needing to sleep longer because you just did a hard workout. And one final, final note here is that the fastest way to change how you feel is via your breath.  Because short of putting a substance in your body, whether it's an herb or food or a medication, the fastest way to change how you feel physiologically in a real way is physical movement.   This exercise has been around for thousands of years. There's a very trendy modern name for it in the military called box breathing or tactical breathing. And it's one of the ways that has been studied clinically to lower your heart rate and lower your respiratory rate when you're experiencing an acute surge of stress hormones. So I'm going to introduce you to this box breathing exercise and then we'll do it together and you can run with it and use it when you get stressed out. So the fundamental exercise for box breathing is just a basic breath count. So you're going to inhale to account for hold to account for exhale to account for and hold that exhale to account for drawing the box is often a helpful mental mnemonic a reminder of in hold exhale hold.  So for this box breathing, close your eyes, you're going to inhale to for so one 1000 to 1000 three 1000 for hold one two, three, four exhale, two, three, four, hold two, three, four. So we're going to do it again. I'm not going to count it. So one, two, three, four, hold two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, hold two, three, four, and even just doing that box breath for four, four, four, within two minutes. If you want to do something interesting and you have an Apple watch or using some kind of or ring or biofeedback device, watch what it does to your heart rate in two minutes. And that will be the greatest evidence that this is the fastest way to get yourself out of the stress response. So for me when I have a long day or a rough day, I'm very tired. Most often what I do is if I have more time than this, I'll do just 10 minutes of lengthening and lengthening my breath, my inhale and lengthening my breath my exhale. And I'll just do the standing the tree pose and she go and I'll just stand there for 10 minutes, just trying to lengthen how long my inhale is and lengthen how long that exhale is. And my complete state has changed. So try that box breath when you're noticing your heart rates getting elevated, you're feeling stressed, you're not feeling great. And you'll notice that short of exercise and going to do a workout is the fastest non pharmacological way you can change your state. And so it's really, really valuable. Alright guys, so try it out. Check out those two links below the free guide that I've put together. And if you want to learn more about becoming a patient locally or virtually, the info to my private practice in clinic is right below.

Now, President Bola Tidebu has promised to increase Nigeria's power generation beyond current levels, stabilise the inconsistent greed and address all the obstacles militating against a stable electricity supply in the country to stimulate economic growth for renewed hope. The president's Bola got a groundbreaking ceremony of the new 350 megawatts Guagaleta International Thermal Power Plant, Phase 1, where he urged the NMPC and its partners to deliver the landmark project within the promised three-year completion timeline, insisting that three years must be three years. This administration is equally opposed to address all power value change challenges and reduce the power-limited hardship we experience by too many of our citizens. Taking advantage of the global declaration that gas is a transition of fuel, as well as enabling provision of the Petroleum Industry Act, we shall attract greater investments. We will. In the oil and gas sector, through such investment, we shall analyze the over 200 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas, with all the results within our borders to develop our national infrastructure, create millions of new jobs and opportunities and stimulate economic growth in a rapid manner. While expressing his excitement that the landmark project was commencing at the onset of his administration, the president pledged his administration's commitment to addressing the power challenges in gas utilization with a clear focus on advancing the diversification of its energy mix to provide access to cheaper electricity to rural communities across the country. In addition, Nigeria will continue to vigorously pursue the implementation of other low-carbon energy solutions, such as solar, hydro, wind, thermal, and bower fuel for both our grade and off-grade power system. We will focus on rural electrification to improve the standard of living of people in rural communities. NNPC sees these projects as an opportunity to monetize our abundant natural gas resources by expanding access to energy to support economic growth, industrialization, and job creation across the country. To achieve this national aspiration, NNPC has invested heavily in domestic gas footprint expansion projects through the delivery of the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline project, which includes the S-Crabos-Negos Pipeline systems, who call it F1 and F2, the OB-3 Gas Pipeline, and the Ajokota-Kano-AKK Gas Pipeline. The Global Agile IPPs are more NNPC's flagship power project along the AKK corridor. This is part of the 3,600 megawatt cumulative power capacity, which includes Kaduna IPP of 900 megawatts and Kano IPP of 1,350. They are all work in progress.
