Is this thing on? It is. Great. In the year 2000, I got my first web development job, and I was really lucky because it was for a major publishing company, and I got to work with big websites right from the beginning. My first job was to build this form that users could use to send an article or a link to an article to a friend. It was very difficult for me because I barely had any school done before that, and I barely knew how to program. And I also had to learn a new programming language and learn how the web works, basically. So it must have taken like a week, at least, to build that. And probably it was a very bad solution. I don't remember the details, but one of the stupid things I remember it did was that the user could set also the sender's address on the form. So I basically created a nice email spam server there. It didn't matter, though, because it was the year 2000, and I don't think there was much spam then. Maybe there was, but websites weren't exploited in the way that they are nowadays. So I had to learn how forms work, and looking back right now, I think that was a very good place to start because you still need to know the basics like that, like how a form is sent, like how HTTP works, and stuff like that. But you have to excuse me because I'm not feeling very well and I had to go to my notes. Yeah, what I do remember, though, like I took this task very seriously. And I wondered, why did I do so? And only later I figured out that it was because it's kind of aligned with my core motivating factors. I only later realized that one of those, the primary one, is learning. And I really wanted to learn this stuff, and I was lucky because I got to work with people that really knew their craft then. So I was learning very fast because of those other people, but also that because I was motivated in learning. So I realized that it didn't make much sense to go back to school because there I'd spend, I think, one and a half years and learn basically nothing that would help me in my real job. So I basically, it didn't go back to school. I stayed at that. It was a summer job, but I stayed there. And I went back to school after that just for a brief period of time, but just realized it was not for me the way to learn. So I think looking back, taking the learning seriously from the beginning and learning the basics of what I do very, very well was crucial for me, and I think it's useful. Even if you think you are not a learner, which I kind of doubt because a lot of this profession is learning and a lot of people here at least are OK with learning constantly. But anyway, if you are such a person that doesn't like learning too much, I would concentrate my efforts to the very basics of the job because things I learned then, a lot of them are still applicable today. I have a few stories, actually a bunch of stories prepared for this afternoon, but I have a cold, and so I'll be skipping some of them. But lucky for you, I'll skip only the boring parts. And so I'll get to the juicy ones only. So the next one is especially juicy because it's a story of how I failed spectacularly. So, but it's been so long since it happened, so now I can tell that without being embarrassed too much. I was at my second job. It was the 2002 or 2003, right about then. And I was working for another publishing company, and they had their CMS, which was built in Pearl from all the languages. It was built on ASP, Microsoft ASP technology, which even back then allowed multiple languages. But I didn't like Pearl, so I started to rewrite the CMS in VB script because that's the future. The project was doing fine, and then we were ready to deploy, like, tested on one website that we were maintaining, and that happened to be this website that wasn't in any need of special redesign. So we were just about to change the CMS to a new version, basically. There were only some features, but nothing major. And the company was not any small business, but something which I would mention, but a publicly traded company anyway. The migration, I needed to do a migration because the database schema was almost the same, but a bit different, so I created a script that would transfer the content from the production to the new version of the website.  It's a waste of time. I was running my script and noticed some errors in the results, and so I cleared the new database and modified my script and run it again, and did this a bunch of times. The idea was that when I was done with the migration, we would present the new website to the client, and then they would approve it, and we would go live. But unfortunately, I never got that far. Somewhere there, I got confused with the databases, and I accidentally cleared the production database. I was stunned. I couldn't breathe, I remember. But of course, my first reaction was that where are the backups? Because it's a live site, it must have backups. So I contacted my boss, and he wasn't aware of any backups, but let's see. We found some, but they were from the previous century, so they were very helpful. So I basically panicked, and I couldn't do anything at that point. But luckily, my boss, he didn't panic. He was an older guy. He had seen a lot. So he assessed the situation, like what do we have here? So how far did you get with your script, like how much of the content is all right on the new version? And I don't remember how much, but it wasn't that far off. The only trouble was that we didn't have any backup, so we didn't have the missing content anywhere. I don't remember who came up with the idea, but the result was that we basically, or I, because I was on the plane, I went through Google's cached pages and copied the content manually from there. It took a few hours just, so it wasn't that bad. Then my boss, he made a rubbish story to the client that we just decided to go ahead with the new version, because it's basically the same. I wasn't at that conversation, and neither would I want it to be there. But so I don't know what happened there, but in the end, everybody was happy, and we had that site running there. Fine.  You just don't think you have backups, and that's kind of obvious. But I think more importantly, like you need to trust that there are other people that will help you if you are in need. You just need to ask. In this case, it was my boss, who clearly saved the day, but it doesn't have to be your boss. It can be your colleague or a spouse, your friend, anybody. But more in the context of this talk, yeah, lost my point again.   You didn't lose your job. I guess I could have lost my job. I didn't. So you start trusting yourself more.  And at least for me, that was kind of the moment that I started to not worry too much. But then, obviously, it's a process. It takes a lot of time. We'll skip people because we're fins and challenges. Well, I don't like challenges. Let's talk about money. Well, actually, this isn't about money, but it was a good word to put in there. I'd spent eight years in these two different publishing companies when I decided to join this Microsoft consultancy, so to speak. And I dared to ask for a salary that seemed outrageous to me. I'm never going to get that. But they said, yes. There was no debate, so I felt really happy. I'm going to be so happy in this job. Well, I didn't really think that. But it felt good. It was kind of like a recognition, my salary. I didn't like it. Obviously, the money was good. And for some reason, I got a lot of praise all the time. People thought I was this superstar, but really, I was just a blogger. They confused those things. I got very challenging and interesting tasks and projects to deal with. The people were nice. I still didn't like it. The reason was that I didn't feel like home there. I still don't know why it was that, but I've been thinking about it. And I just probably just did. I didn't fit in culturally. I'm a geek. Most of you are geeks. And that was a very geeky company. But I guess it was too geeky. I don't know. Just didn't feel like home. So I kind of learned there that you need to feel home. At least, I need to belong for me, myself. I don't know if I can give any advice. I was thinking about this, and I thought it makes sense to talk to the people that you are going to work with if you are thinking about starting a new position in some company that you don't know beforehand. Talk to the actual people that you'll be working for, not just the people that will interview you. That might help. Then if you have some information, you can even try to imagine what it is to work with them. How is your day going to be?  I ended up spending like two and a half years there. And it was fine. In the end, it got better. But I really didn't want to be there. Never been in a job. I guess I was. Anyway, it was one of my shortest. So it was about, yeah, after that, I decided to start a new company. And that was like 2010, I guess. Just before I started the company called H1, a WordPress company that doesn't exist yet anymore, I was talking to the CTO of that Microsoft company that I still work for for a couple of days. And he was also starting a new business. So we got talking. And he asked me, what is the ideal size of a company you would like to run in terms of how many people work there? And I had the answer already, because I already had fantasized about running a company for a long time. And I said, like, 20 people. Something like 20, maybe 30 people. And I had the number, because I thought having 20, 30 people would be small enough that there weren't that much internal politics or stuff like that, people not liking each other. It could still be kind of a family. But it would be large enough to do interesting things, have big clients or big enough clients and projects. But the CTO reacted to my idea, was that he couldn't see me running a company of that size. I don't remember the exact words, but he couldn't see that happening. I don't know why. It was probably just that even in that geeky company, I was not much of a people person. And he thought it would require kind of people skills. It could be something else. It doesn't matter, really. And I could have taken that, and I could be very discouraged about something like that. You can't do that. But instead, I chose to prove this guy, like he was wrong. I can do this. Well, I couldn't, in a sense that we couldn't grow to that size ever. But it didn't really matter, because that wasn't the goal. It was just a vision. And many times when I ran H1, I was thinking about that guy saying that I can't do this. And every time it gave me some strength to continue. Of course, if people keep telling you that you can't do this all the time, it can be good. But sometimes you can choose, like, how do you react to people giving their opinions about what you can or cannot do. And in this particular case, I chose to take it as a challenge. Late 2015, I got divorced. As you probably can imagine, it's hard to do your work when, like, the changes are happening in your life. I think it took about a month, about a month that I was really down, and I could just barely good handle my basic routines. But then it started to get better. Right about then, I kind of created this strange game for myself. Every month I was doing billing. Like, end of the month, I was looking at how many billable hours everybody at H1 had created. And I noticed that that particular month, I was ahead. I was doing most billing, and I was trying to find that enjoyment on little things back then. But then I realized, like, if I do this regularly, like, if I start to track this, because I know myself, I am, like, a goal oriented. If you give me numbers, I try to make them better all the time. So I made this game myself. I want to bill the most every month. And I did that for about four months or so, and then I was feeling so good anyway, like, internally motivated. I didn't need any extra help I stopped doing. Sometimes, if you feel down or even depressed, like, lifting yourself above the actual issues that, when you are down, they might seem impossible or very, very hard to tackle. In a simple way like that, can help. Like, in my case, it made me see, like, a customer problem. Something wasn't working, or I had to build this one thing. It was, instead of being an issue, like, how to solve this, it became just, like, a numbers game. Like, if I spend four hours in this, I will get four points in my tracking list. Yeah, work for me. Doesn't work in every situation. Kind of the basic message here is to know yourself, because the better you know yourself, the better you can come up with ways of thinking. So that you can trick yourself, in a way, to see the issues in a better light, so that they are easier to tackle. I would go so far as to recommend that you would, like, regularly, maybe even weekly, think about yourself, basically. How did you, during that week, like, react to things? What did feel good? What did feel bad? And you can do this in many ways. You're like, you can meditate. You can write a diary. You can talk to a friend. But whatever you do, like, you try to learn about yourself, like, the next day try to apply what you've learned and repeat the cycle, like, test yourself, like, as a test subject. My name is Aki Bjorklund. I'm a lead developer at the Zealand family now, which is now owns the company I mentioned, H1. And we are hiring WordPress developers. Come talk to me. Thank you, Jaron. I hope you feel better soon.


It's not surprising that scammers find ways to get our personal information. Don't fall prey to them, funeral family. Before we get right to it, check out our previous episodes to know more about the previous news. And also guys, have you ever been scammed before? I have. Let me know down in the comment section below. Alright guys, you know the drill, subscribe and gong that bell. Hey guys, my name is Dald and welcome to Freedom News. On today's news, we will be talking about an interview from one of the emerging stars on YouTube. Also, Philip DeFranco has debunked scammers pretending to be content creators. You better watch out. Following the list is KSI reaching another milestone. I wonder what milestone that is. Lastly, have you seen Georgia's videos? If you haven't, that's okay. You should check it out right now. Alright guys, drop it. YouTuber Karina Garcia has been skyrocketing her success on YouTube by producing slime videos that her fans love so much. Forbes has graced us with an article that kind of like interviewed her in a way. Let's not make a whole video about this, but we will be sharing to you guys the things that you need to know about brand building and social media. Let's get right to it. So Forbes has asked her about her social media and how she gives back to the community. Karina answered, I try to engage with my fans daily by commenting back as much as I can, whether it's through YouTube or Instagram. I like to do fun posts, asking them questions about their day, etc. To get them involved. Being able to talk to my followers daily is a great feeling. It feels as though I have such a big group of friends. They're the best. Have you been doing this freedom family? I'm kind of guilty about this, but I'm trying my best to do it. Moving on another question that may benefit you guys in the future is about brand building. Forbes has asked her for some tips on how to build a brand, and this is what Karina answered. Building a brand takes a lot of work and you have to be patient, because the chances of everything running smoothly point over seven is not likely. You're going to have rough times and need to accept the failures may be ahead. You have to focus on your overall vision no matter what. Having a team surrounding you who understands your brand 100% is also key. You also need to be very involved and stay motivated because it'll be a huge part of your life. Lastly guys, here's a little advice from Karina. Best piece of advice I've received for anyone wanting to start their own YouTube is to just do it and have fun. It sounds cliche, but really that is what holds people back. Me included. I wanted to do it for years and I never knew if I was really ready. I learned there really isn't the right time. Just sit down and film and be yourself. At the end of the day, you're making these videos because you like the content you're putting out there, and that's what matters. So basically guys, just do it. I should listen to her because I haven't made my own channel yet. Yikes. Moving along the news, KSI, one of the pioneers of the video-sharing age, has reached 20 million subscribers. And that's 20 million and one. KSI has been very pleased with this achievement. His high profile views from other content creators like Kudecka, Joe Weller, and Logan Paul has been very sensational and has garnered him views and subscribers. Dexterito has reported that KSI may have a rematch with Logan Paul as their boxing match from August of last year has been a draw. Hopefully someone chaos someone this time. Following the list is our own very Papa George who has released his 18th episode of KYC. If you haven't watched that video, don't worry, check it out later after this video. Papa George discusses a few guidelines why the channels featured on his videos are YPP suspended. We do not want you to be suspended guys, so catch up on that episode to see if your channel is safe. Lastly guys, Philip DeFranco has released a video stating that scammers have a new way of fishing out for your personal information. Don't give them a chance to get your personal information guys. Business Insider quotes Philip DeFranco saying, If you have gotten a message from me or any other creator on YouTube that looks something like this, that is very likely someone trying to scam you.

Salam, you're watching the International Daily Roundup brought to you by People's Dispatch where we bring you a quick run-through of some of the top stories from around the world. Let's first take a look at today's headlines. The strike at Clover, South Africa has entered its 10th week. Extreme poverty is on the rise in Latin America and the Caribbean. The United States approves $2.5 billion in arms sales to Egypt. And in the Philippines, health workers demand better protections. Our first story is from South Africa where workers at Clover are in their 10th week on strike. Pickets and rallies were held across the country on January 27 to mark an international day of action against the company. Clover is South Africa's largest dairy producer. On November 22, 5,000 workers walked out to protest planned retrenchments and restructuring. The strike is being led by the General Industries Workers Union of South Africa and the Food and Allied Workers Union. Clover was bought by the Milko Consortium in 2019. Unions have said that there has been a multi-pronged attack on their rights since then. Over 800 people have been forced to opt for voluntary severance packages. The company has also closed down six plants since 2019. Unions launched the strike after Clover issued retrenchment notices, which would have led to 1,418 job losses. Striking workers are demanding the nationalization of the company. A major focus of the protest is also the fact that 60% of Milko is owned by the Israeli Central Bottling Company. Workers have expressed their solidarity with the Palestinian people and demanded that South Africa divest from Milko. A successful boycott of Clover products has been launched in the country. Unions have alleged that Clover is behind recent petrol bomb attacks against workers. Hundreds have also been arbitrarily dismissed and Christmas bonuses have been cancelled. Meanwhile, the strike has received broad support from civil society groups and unions like Namsa and Saf2. Many rallies over this week were also held in Sa Paolo in Brazil and several cities across the United Kingdom. The COVID-19 related health and social crisis has worsened extreme poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. Between 2020 and 2021, the number of people experiencing extreme poverty grew to 86 million in this region. These figures are part of the 2021 Social Panorama Report by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean or the EC-LAC. In 2020, extreme poverty reached levels which have not been seen in the past three decades. The economic recovery in 2021 was not enough to mitigate the pandemic's deep social and labour impact. The proportion of women who did not receive any income of their own has increased massively. Poverty gaps persisted in rural areas and among indigenous peoples. These had initially announced emergency transfers worth 89 billion US dollars. However, announced spending in the first 10 months of 2021 was only 45.3 billion. EC-LAC is also ranked the region as the most vulnerable to COVID-19 in the world. Despite forming just about 8% of the world's population, the region accounted for close to 30% of all COVID deaths. As of January 25, 2022, 62% of the region's population had been fully vaccinated. EC-LAC has called for the strengthening of vaccine procurement, cooperation and social protection systems. It's also called for universal health coverage and for the state to act as a guarantor of the right to health. The EC-LAC also proposes moving towards a care society where care is recognized as a universal need. The United States has approved a $2.5 billion arms sale to Egypt. The potential exchange includes 12 Super Hercules C-130 transport aircraft and related equipment. It also includes in a separate deal air defense systems worth around 350 million US dollars. Egypt is one of the biggest recipients of US weapons, second only to Israel. According to the Kato Institute, it received $8.5 billion worth of arms in the period between 2009 and 2020. Activists have been demanding that the US halt these sales given Egypt's human rights record. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been repeatedly accused of cracking down on dissent and opposition. Rights groups estimate that over 60,000 people are being held as political prisoners. Recent reports have documented inhuman conditions in the country's prisons, including prolonged solitary confinement. The Biden administration has allocated $1.4 billion in bilateral assistance to Egypt for the 2022 fiscal year. In September 2021, the State Department froze $130 million in military aid, citing the same human rights concerns. Egypt was reportedly given a deadline to improve conditions by January 30. On Tuesday, the Democratic lawmakers wrote to Biden urging him not to unfreeze the funds. The administration notified Congress of the $2.5 billion sale the same day, stating that the two are unrelated. And in our final story of the day, health workers in the Philippines held a coordinated online protest on January 27. The action included participation across wards and hospitals under the slogan, We are not Immortals. On January 14, the Health Department released new protocols, fully vaccinated health workers who test positive for COVID and are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms only need to isolate for five days. Meanwhile, those who are close contacts of positive cases do not need to be quarantined at all. The Alliance of Health Workers is demanding a 14-day quarantine period and isolation protocols for health workers as well as the general public. The EAHW has also opposed the one COVID-19 allowance or OCA measure, which will combine all COVID-related benefits. The group argues that this consolidation scheme will actually reduce benefits that accrue to workers. The OCA will also allot benefits based on a COVID-19 risk exposure classification. Health workers at high risk or directly working with COVID patients will receive around $176 U.S. dollars a month. Benefits at the moderate risk equal around $117 and low risk just about $50. Workers unions argue that given the virus is airborne, all health workers must be treated as high risk. The EAHW has also said that benefits under the now expired Bainihan II remain unpaid. That's all we have on this episode of the International Daily Roundup.

Goodbye.


You know it, I know it, everybody loves Animal Crossing right now guys, especially with all of this quarantine happening, also we all just got caught right here. With the quarantine and everything happening, the state of the world right now, Animal Crossing is the perfect game to come out right now. And oh my gosh, Reggie, thank you so much for what you've done for us. Even though Reggie's not there anymore, right? He retired, right? I think he did. Reggie, come back. I can't remember. I love Animal Crossing so much. I had never played in Animal Crossing before New Horizons, but I love it so much. Maybe I'll go back and play in my own time, or maybe I'll stream it, I don't know. Some Animal Crossing New Leaf, and the original one. Also, I've been streaming a ton on Twitch if you want. Here's the Twitch link, twitch.tv slash CrankGameplays. I don't have a schedule, but I've been streaming a ton recently, a lot of Animal Crossing, a lot of other stuff. Also depending on when this is coming out, this Sunday I'm doing a bed stream. I'm just gonna be playing Animal Crossing all day in my bed. I don't know when this video is coming out, but it might be coming out the day that it's happening. Who knows? I have no idea, but check my Twitch and find out. Anyway, that's not why we're here. We're here to look at Animal Crossing memes. I've seen a bunch of other people do this, obviously, but I didn't know Animal Crossing back when this first came out. Back when Animal Crossing first came out. I didn't know anything about Animal Crossing, so I was like, well, I gotta wait and, you know, learn about the Animal Crossing before I can make an accurate video about Animal Crossing memes. So we're just gonna go all time. Because why not? A villager asked me what my favorite food was, and I thought it would be funny if I told them s**t and balls until my friend toured my island and sent me these photos. Anyway, foods, I know for a fact that Owen just loves some s**t and balls. Same? That's great.  Oh, I love that. This one hit different. What's happening? This is a cute island. Sorry, there is not really room for two here. I was like, Amy put a great video out on Twitter. Where is it? Where is it? Yes, here it is. Here it is. Hold on. Hey, Amy, I've got a spot right here for you. It's so good. Me turns on Animal Crossing. Isabel, breaking news. Nothing to report. It's right. Isabel? One thing I don't like about Animal Crossing is all the f**king dialogue you have to go through. In the beginning of the game, it's nice and sweet. But it's like, I know you have nothing to say, Isabel.   When the whole town gets together for a celebration and Rold comes out, and is pretty s**t. On my Reddit, reddit.com, or subscribe to Gameplays, post your Animal Crossing islands, post your favorite villagers, whatever. Maybe I'll do a video on that too. You didn't have to thug. Used to know music video. That's what that is. Whoever puts clay in the balloons, you're f**king s**t. Replace tire with egg, and you got me.  But getting the eggs, oh my god, the whole bunny day thing sucked so bad for multiple reasons. One, everything was just eggs. So many things, all the fish, everything in trees, it was just eggs, I hated it so much. But two, the s**t that you could make out of the eggs, I didn't care about.  I did not participate in Bunny Day.  And I was like, no, because I know that the bunny man, whatever his name was, he was creepy, animatronic guy, he was like, hey, if you collect all the bunny day things, I'll give you a sweet surprise. And I thought, oh, the sweet surprise is just gonna be another bunny day thing. And sure enough, it was. I just didn't care. I just didn't care at all. The sun is rising and animal crossing the game plays in real time. That means the sun's rising for you too, baby. I've never seen the sunrise. I've never been up at 5 a.m. I should do that. That would be fun. I did what I thought was impossible. What did you do? Oh my God. Oh, you sniped him, didn't you? You sniped him, didn't you? I've had this same moment. Sorry. Saddles, hey, sorry. Oh! Oh my God! That's a good edit too. It is the scariest. Nothing gives me so much anxiety. Okay. Animal crossing is both the most calm, relaxing game I've ever played. The most anxiety-inducing game I've ever played in my life.   It's exactly like that. I don't care if you time travel, please don't hit me. Time travelers and animal crossing, it ain't honest. But it's much. It ain't honest, but it's much. Animal crossing fans most days. Animal crossing fans on Sundays. You gotta get your turnips.  You gotta invest in the market, and the market's strong. You gotta invest, and you'll make yourself some pretty, pretty, pretty bells, dude. You can't just spend all of your money on 47 tarantulas and 13 million turnips. Timmy and Tommy, ha ha, money bridge are gone. If you don't want your kids or your nephews or whatever spending all that money, teach them a little better. Until then, Timmy and Tommy, they're my pals.  Although I have paid all of my debt back, which is nice, and Tom now let me customize my house for you, which I appreciate. This is my house storage. Yup, and I'm crafting in my house. Yup, and the materials I need to craft are in my storage. Makes sense to me. So I should not need to take the items out of storage to use them while crafting. You need materials. That's true, they should make it like that. What villagers do you guys have, by the way? Let me know in the comments down below. I'd love to know. Me, every time I wake up and go straight to playing Animal Crossing, go back to the ground. I created the Spermosaurus Rex. I hate it. Thanks. Selling 3,800 fish, selling a single tarantula. 3,800 fish, though, dude?   Even just a single full inventory of a stack of 40 of those red snappers, 160,000 bells. You're living sweet, dude.  I love Muffy so much. He's my favorite villager. I love her.  That's your thing? Yep. Whoa, I didn't know you were into sexual penetration. Then again, look at those magnificent muscles.  You know it like that, Mac.  What did you do? Oh. Oh. There's something good. The high value hot item today is pot. Me looking at all the cute furnishings I don't have in my villager's home. It's true, all of my villagers have really cool stuff.  Actually I am making a pretty cool house right now. I'm making a little game room that's just kind of fun in my basement. I've got a little game room going on, I've got a pretty cool bathroom. My kitchen needs some work, but I've got an upstairs and that's my bedroom and I've got a big stone thing in there, so that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's coming along. Animal Crossing Switch implements a new feature to encourage people to play the game for at least 30 minutes every day. For every day you skip playing one of your villagers executed in the center of the town by dark Isabel, who's Isabel, but she says, fuck, I'm the executed, that would be really funny. I'll be like, the landlords and then evict Animal Crossing villagers from being ugly.  Favorite villager leaving? Just say no. Your villager legally cannot move out of your island without your consent. Is that true? I mean, they'll just be unhappy and stay on your island forever, but maybe you can make them happier, you know? You know, show them what they want.  No! No! No! Bring a better life to you! Each Nook Miles ticket island will be different. You'll never see the same one me. So that was a fricking lie. It's true! It's true!  You lied to me! I caught a centipede today. That's pretty cool. 99 more and I'll have a dollar peed.  Oh, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Did they just open a mailbox and it's filled with fish? Dude, I want to just be able to buy fish bait from the, from, from Nooks Cranny. It would be so great if I could just buy fish bait. It'd be so nice. Jotaro! Dio! Oh, you're coming for me? You're not going to get close to this Dio? I have to get close to him.  Ho ho! Then get close to him.  Sorry, I can see that being good for you. Get out there and make it happen. 10 wrappers. M&M was too afraid to do this.  Ew, when you caught a fish on Animal Crossing, that's gross. My entire island gathered to see KK Slider as beautiful credits roll. My character in socks and no pants. I love this, this, this meme template so much. It's so good. Alright guys, I'm going to stop here. These were some good old-fashioned Animal Crossing memes. I love Animal Crossing so much. It's such a fun game. It's the perfect game for right now. During these times when we are forced to stay in time.   I just need a butt. It's so good. It's so good. I need a butt. Alright, I'm leaving now. Goodbye forever. Hit it!


Okay, so a lot of what you're going to see here, I pulled the configuration that we're going to deploy directly out of the Rook project, which you should be seeing on your screens right now. So what you see me running here, I pulled from here specifically, let me clear this out if you guys can see the screen on the left. The common YAML file and the operator OpenShift YAML file. Those are pulled verbatim from this project. You can see the path here to get to it. And it's release 1.4. It's the latest release. I'm not quite brave enough to run directly out of master at this point. So back to the cluster that we deployed earlier this morning. You can see it is fortunately still healthy. There's a few errors being thrown, but it tends to do that in my home lab, network latency and such. So what we're going to do first is the three worker nodes that we deployed. What I didn't tell you when I deployed them was that I actually deployed them with an unused hard drive attached to the virtual machine. So it installed the operating system. It's using a SATA bus. So it installed the operating system on SDA, but it's got an SDB sitting there that is not currently being used. What we're going to do is we're going to create a Ceph storage cluster to serve up block devices on these worker nodes. The first step is we need to label those nodes to give them a role of storage node. And so I just applied that label to them. If I hit a quick OC describe on one of those nodes, I can show you that it now has a role of storage node. So that's step one is we need something to tell Ceph what it's going to be working with. Step two is we're going to deploy this common.yaml, which as you can see is creating a whole lot of boilerplate that the Rook operator is going to need. And one of the things that it did was it provisioned for us a namespace, the Rook Ceph namespace, which currently is very uninteresting. We're getting ready to make it interesting by deploying the Rook operator. And this will take a little bit for it to bootstrap itself. The operator image right now is pulling down and installing. When the operator is up, it's going to create some workloads, some pods on each of those nodes that bear the label so that they can discover the resources available on that node. And this will take just a little bit to run. Okay. And there you see the three discover nodes that are spinning up now.  The cluster.yaml file is the thing that actually defines our particular Ceph cluster. And again, the Rook project has a boilerplate copy of this for you to take and modify to your own purposes. This is the version of Ceph we're going to be running, 15.2.4. We're going to have three monitor nodes running. I have set node affinity on those and that it's also going to be looking for a role of storage node. I've assigned resources for the various components of Ceph, a limit and a request, just like you see in a typical deployment. And here is the piece of magic that tells it where to find those devices that it's going to create the Ceph storage cluster on. Now our operator appears to be fully bootstrapped and up and running. So the next step is to go ahead and deploy our Ceph cluster on top of that. All right, now this is also going to take a little bit and you're going to see a bunch of activity here as the operator provisions this cluster. There's the three monitor instances you just saw spin up. There's the CSI plug-ins. It will start actually dealing with those physical devices and formatting the storage for its own use. Okay, you see these OSD prepares? There's three of them. When they are done, they're going to go into a completed state. Once you see that completed state, then the Ceph cluster is up and it is ready for use. It looks like we're still waiting for one of the crash collectors to go into a ready state, but everything else at this point should be usable. So to prove that it's usable, let's take our image registry and let's give it a persistent volume. I've created a storage class here that I'm going to apply. Its name is Rook Ceph Block and it's going to use the new Rook Ceph CSI plug-in that we just deployed as the provisioner. I will apply that to my cluster. Now if I flip back over here, go down to storage, we should have a storage class, and indeed we do. Now let's create a persistent volume claim under gigabytes because I tend to use a lot of container images. We should have persistent volume claim and the key here, you can see now it is bound to an automatically provisioned persistent volume that our Ceph cluster kindly handed out for us. We can see that from the command line as well. There it is, under gigabytes. Now remember if you were watching previously when we deployed the OpenShift cluster, we gave our image registry an ephemeral volume. We need to remove that ephemeral volume before we give it the new volume. So caveat here, any images that you had put in between, you're going to lose those because we're yanking away the storage. You will lost them anyway because this is an ephemeral volume. I'm going to put our registry back into a managed state. We're going to tell it to use the persistent volume claim, registry pvc. We're also changing the rollout strategy of this to a recreate. Because I created a rewrite once volume, the rollout strategy that comes by default is not going to work because it will try to do a rolling deployment. I need this to tear down the first instance and create a new instance so that it doesn't try to violate the rewrite once policy. So we just patched it. If we log back into our cluster and look at the image registry, here we go. We have an OpenShift image registry that's creating and should be binding to that persistent volume claim. So I'll pause there. Any questions on that? I know that was pretty fast. I think you're doing pretty good here. All right. I will now deploy a MariaDB Galera cluster. It's going to be a stateful set. What we're going to do, we're going to deploy this stateful set right here, which is going to create a three-node MariaDB Galera cluster from a customized image that we're going to build and push into the image registry that we just created. First thing we need to do is build our image, which the official MariaDB repository is going to install 10.4. Our Docker file looks something like this. So we're going to do some things to set up a MariaDB. The real magic happens in this shell script that is going to be run by the image when it starts up that actually provisions the MariaDB cluster, detects whether or not a cluster already exists. If it's the first node in the cluster, so forth and so on, I've got a short tutorial written up on this that you can see, so I won't drain it here. We'll just do the fun and kick it off. So first thing I need to do is make sure I'm logged in. I'm in the right cluster, important safety tip. Always make sure you're logged into the right cluster. I need to expose a route for the image registry. What I just did is I patched the image registry operator to say, create a default route so that I can externally get to my image registry. Then I'm going to use Podman and I'm going to log into that image registry array. It succeeded. And now I'm going to do a Podman build and build our MariaDB image. And you see, I'm grabbing the route from the image registry to tag my image. And I'm getting ready to build so that I can push it to the directory. It generally doesn't run that fast. I ran this just a little bit ago to make sure it was going to work. That's why that build went so fast because it had already actually been built. So all it did was add a tag to the already built image. Now we'll push it to the registry. Okay. So now our OpenShift cluster in its local cluster registry, it now has our customized MariaDB Galera image. So let's create a namespace for it. Create a service account. Okay. We're going to create a service account for MariaDB. The reason is MariaDB is picky about its UID. And it's especially picky if it restarts and its UID has changed. It tends to get upset. So we're creating a service account and we're actually going to run this privileged with this new service account so that it can run as any UID. There is likely a better way to do this and so I am open to suggestions. And now I'm going to apply a config map that actually contains the MariaDB server.CNF file. So by using a config map to do this, I can modify the configuration of my cluster without having to deploy new images. I'm now going to apply a couple of services. One of them is a headless service that allows the cluster to talk to itself on the necessary TCP and UDP ports. And then I'm going to deploy a load balanced service that will allow applications to talk to the cluster. I'm not sure why that's taking so long to come back. Okay.  All right. So I'm going to deploy the stateful set. And what you'll see in the console is a ordered deployment of the MariaDB stateful set. Okay. Good. PVC bound. Now we have persistent volume. And you see the first node in our three node Galera cluster is now starting. So just pause just for half a second. Someone's asking, Frank's asking a question. He missed the very first part of your Rook operator installation. And he says he has no Rook operators with his IPI based cluster installation. Is the operator hub filtering operators based on UPI IPI installation choice? Maybe clarify that for him. Okay. Good. Good point. I actually deployed the operator from the command line because it doesn't show up in the operator hub. See. Not there. Not sure why. It may be one of the ones that we need to as a working group add in. Yeah. There's a community version of it on operator hub.io that works with generic Kubernetes. But I think we need to do some work. I think it's one of the ones that's on the priority list for us to work on as a working group. Yeah. And that's why I deployed it by using the operator configuration that is provided in the Kubernetes stuff examples in the Rook project itself. All right. So our second cluster node is coming up. And these do an ordered startup and an ordered shutdown so that you can gracefully stop and start this cluster and it will retain its state. And when this is done, we have a three node MariaDB Galera cluster that is a full multi master database cluster running in our open shift with provision storage. Wow. Well played. Thanks, Charles. That was pretty awesome. I think I keep emphasizing in the chat too is well some of the operator work is the next things on the roadmap that we're trying to get. Folks to work on. So getting some of those default operators from operator hub into community. So we'll be working on that. So you fill the time very nicely. Justin Pittman's here and he is going to try and out do you on bare metal. Yeah.


Hi everyone, I'm Ricky Anderson and welcome to the Float Report, sorry I mean the Fort Report. It might as well be called the Float Report today because all I plan to do is float around on the Trini River here at the Panther Island Fibillion. It's Sunday Fun Day and if you don't have your own tube like my quacky Chan, don't worry you can rent one when you get there. Sunday Fun Day takes place every Sunday from June 24th through September 2nd. Enjoy music, friends, food trucks and floating the Trini River at the Panther Island Fibillion. Check the website for weekly activities including yoga classes and more. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings you can always check out the calendar at the city's website.


Studies like this show that those who eat the most legumes appear to have only a fraction of the risk of a form of prediabetes, known as metabolic syndrome. Those to date, three or more servings of beans a week only had about a quarter of the odds of the disease compared to those who had one serving or less. Yes, bean consumption associated with lower body weight, a slimmer waist, less obesity, and blood pressure and population studies. But whether the association of bean consumption with healthier body weight and risk factors for metabolic syndrome is due to physiological effects of the beans themselves, where simply an indicator of a healthier lifestyle was uncertain.  So researchers put it to the test. Reducing belly fat may be the best way to treat metabolic syndrome and reduce the risk of prediabetes, turning into full-blown diabetes. Energy restriction has been the cornerstone of most weight loss strategies. However, evidence suggests that the majority of individuals who lose weight by calorie cutting regain it during these subsequent months or years, starving ourselves almost never works long term. Thus, it's important to identify foods that can be easily incorporated into the diet and spontaneously lead to the attainment and maintenance of a healthy body weight and improved metabolic control. So for the first time ever, they did a head-to-head test, beans versus caloric restriction. The bean group was asked to eat five cups a week of lentils, split peas, chickpeas, or navy beans. So the bean group was asked to eat more food, and the cutting calories group was asked to eat less food. And the more food group won. Not only was regular bean consumption as effective as portion control in reducing prediabetes risk factors like slimming waistlines and better blood sugar control, but the bean diet led to additional benefits beyond just calorie reduction, perhaps due to some functional properties of pulses, which are beans and peas. In conclusion, five cups a week of beans, chickpeas, split peas, and lentils in an ad libitum diet, meaning they weren't told to change their diet in any other way. Reduced risk factors of metabolic syndrome and these effects were equivalent and in some instances stronger than telling people to cup 500 calories from their daily diet. These results are encouraging news for individuals with or at risk for type 2 diabetes since they indicate that simple diet changes, such as the inclusion of beans, can have a positive impact on blood sugar control.


Here's how to write the perfect comparison paragraph for language, paper two, question number four. Now this question always asks you to talk about the writer's viewpoints and perspectives. Begin your opening point by discussing, based on the question whether the writers in Source A and Source B share the similar viewpoints or different perspectives. Then move on to adding evidence from text A. Once you've added the evidence from text A, then follow on immediately by mentioning either language or structure technique and tie it back to the question and how this shows either a similarity or a difference to Source B. Once you've done that, then add your second bit of evidence from Source B, then follow on by adding either language or structure technique and then mention what does this illustrate when you're thinking about the writer's viewpoints and perspectives in both sources before linking back to the question.


Hi there, this is a video covering the match pairs method for comparing the means for two populations using information from two dependent samples. So in this case, the method we're about to use, the following requirements hold. The sample data are dependent, remember that means they are not independent. So dependent means they have some sort of interaction with each other. The samples are simple random samples as always and either or both of the following are satisfied. The number of pairs of sample data is large, meaning greater than 30, or the pairs of values have differences that are from a population that is normally distributed. So there's kind of some alignment with the requirements we've seen for previous methods that we've used. So the notation for dependent samples is as follows, D represents the individual difference between the two values of a single matched pair. So what we'll do is we'll take data from one sample and from another sample and we'll pair up a data value from sample one with a data value from sample two and we'll subtract to find the difference. Mu sub X bar is the mean value of the differences for the sample of all matched pairs of data. Mu sub D is the mean value of the differences for the population of all matched pairs of data. So mu sub X bar is from our sample data and then mu sub D is the mean value of the differences for the population and that's what we'll actually be running our hypothesis test about is mu sub D. That's what you'll see in our hypothesis and then N is the number of pairs of sample data. So number of pairs is N. So when designing an experiment or planning an observational study using dependent samples of paired data is generally better than using two independent samples just because of the creative tactics that are used here in this method or process. Using matched pairs reduces extraneous variation which could occur if experimental units were treated independently so that's the power of this matched pairs method. So basically we'll write out our hypotheses for our test and then we'll get a p-value compared to the significance level and go from there. To get our p-value we will use in the Google Sheet Spreadsheet the two variable stats tab and then we'll type our data or our values into column A and then column B and then O10 will give us our test statistic and then our p-value will be given an O11, O12 or O13 depending on what type of hypothesis test we are using. So use the sample data below with the significance level of 0.05 to test the claim that for the population of heights of presidents and remain opponents the differences have a mean less than zero centimeters. So our claim is that the mean difference is less than zero centimeters. So we're going to define u sub d as being group 2 minus group 1. So let's think about this. Alright so mean difference is less than zero. So mu sub d is less than zero. Would that go with the null or the alternative? Since it does not contain equal to it has to go with the alternative. The null is always going to be equal to zero. The mean difference among the population is equal to zero. Our claim what was discussed in the question is the alternative hypothesis. The first group listed will always be group 1, the second group listed we will always use that as group 2. So all we have to do is go to Google Sheets, go to the two variable stats tab, zoom in a little bit here and column A starting in cell A2 you will type your first row of data values 189, 173, 183, 180, 179, delete anything else that's left. Honestly it's probably a best practice to delete out any data currently there before you start typing. Alright then type in your group 2's, 170, 185, 175, 180, and 178, give your spreadsheet some time to calculate. If you see the gray bar in the top right repeatedly occurring it's not done calculating yet. Once it's gone for a while chances are it's ready to go. So you look down and say it sells OGE 11, OGE 12, and OGE 13. It was this a right-tailed test, a left-tailed test, or a two-tailed test? Well it used to sign the less than. Less than means you use a left-tailed test. Less than indicates a left-tailed test, so you have 0.2819 and just because it's cool the test statistic is negative 0.63. Sometimes questions will ask you for the test statistic. T value negative 0.63 that is the test statistic. Remember say test statistic 10 times fast see how it works out for you. Alright so my test was left-tailed, I probably should have indicated that here. Our test statistic was equal to negative 0.63 and our p-value was actually equal to 0.2819. 0.2819 and remember the p-value has to be compared to the significance level, has to be compared to 0.05. So is the p-value less than or greater than alpha? It's definitely greater than 0.05. Since we're not under the limbo bar we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We fail to reject H0. So we fail to reject the null hypothesis, meaning we can't even look at the claim and consider it. We're stuck with the null hypothesis so there's not evidence to support our claim here. We say there's not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the differences have a mean less than 0, which seems to be silly anyway to say presidents tend to be taller than their opponents. I don't think there's any sort of relationship there, never. So let's talk about a kind of interesting example. Data was collected from the number of hospital admissions for motor vehicle crashes on Friday the 13th of a month and Friday the 6th. At a 0.05 significance level, test the claim, there's our hypothesis keyword, claim that when the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday, the number of hospital admissions for motor vehicle crashes are not affected. And we're defining the mean differences, group 2 minus group 1. So group 1 will be my Friday the 6th and group 2 will be my Friday the 13th. And then I have this list of all the different hospital admissions for motor vehicle crashes, 9, 6, 11, 11, 3, and 5. So your hypotheses will be what? Well the claim is that number of hospital admissions are not affected. If that's the case, if the number of hospital admissions are not affected, that means the difference is going to be 0. Difference of 0 means no effect. That's actually the null hypothesis. Alright and then the alternative will be the exact opposite, not equal to 0. So what we have to do now is use Google Sheets. So let's go to Google Sheets and let's clear out our data that's in column A and B. Remember we're on the two variable stats tab. So starting in cell A2, type in group 1's data values. Make sure you click enter after each entry, not the down button. Give the Google Sheets spreadsheets some time to calculate. While it's calculating it's a good time to discuss what type of test is this, what type of hypothesis is it left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Because the alternative hypothesis uses not equal to, we're focused on the fact that it's a two-tailed test, so 0.0422 and the test statistic is 2.71. If you are not getting these values in your spreadsheet you may want to consider saving a new copy of your spreadsheet. Just to refresh it. All right, so what do we have? We have a test statistic as we discussed of 2.71 and then we had a p-value of 0.0422 or 0.0422. Remember we're comparing that to alpha, we're comparing that to 0.05. Our p-value is definitely less than alpha in this case. With the p-values lost in alpha, we do have the ability to reject the null hypothesis. So null hypothesis, rejected. Take that rejected stamp you have and just put it right over the null. So basically we rejected our claim, there is evidence to reject our claim here. So once again we've literally just typed in our data values into the Google Sheets spreadsheet and then we noted that this is a two-tailed test because they used not equal to in the alternative hypothesis. So that gave us our test statistic, gave us our p-value. We noted that we had to reject the null hypothesis. Which means that there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that when the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday, the number of hospital emissions from motor vehicle crashes are not effective. So does that mean they are? I don't know, maybe we should do some additional data collection. Maybe some of our folks that work in the hospitals could give us some more information on that. Just some food for thought. Anyway, that's all I have for now. Thanks for watching.


Hello everybody, Andrew Maeski here with Dental L. Let me show you guys where I find kids most often have more plaque and in turn get the most cavities. So I have been seeing a lot of kids lately and I find the most common spot is right at the front here. So I use this little guy to show kids how to brush properly because this spot I would say is number one, where I see cavities the most in kids, age two, three, four or more. I would say age two and three and four is the most common here. As we get older, as the kids get older, it's more commonly on the chewing surfaces on the back teeth and that's because their first year molars start to come in age six and those are their permanent teeth but they're not used to having teeth back there. So they're kind of not sure how to brush properly. So make sure to show them to get all the way in the back and don't just simply do this and then that's it. They have to spend some time brushing those teeth, okay? It's really important. And at that age, it's a good idea to have the mom or dad help them brush their teeth. If they don't let you, then have them brush first and then you brush afterwards. You could always tell them, you want to make their teeth nice and shiny, okay? So you could even say that you have a special toothpaste to make their teeth shiny that only you can use on their teeth. So just pick a toothpaste, you know? That, I'm sorry, that seems to help them, okay? Just let them know that you do have to get in there afterwards. Even if you think your kid loves to brush their teeth, they might only be doing this, you know? You just never milk. They need to get in there to really make sure to get all areas. Now, up here, as I said, think about the lip being in the way. So typically when kids brush, they just kind of do, you know, this, right? They just kind of do this. But that lip is covering this area right there. So you may have to help them or tell them to move their lip up like that to actually get in there to remove that plaque. Because plaque sticks there so easily and cavities form so quickly that I see it in kids all the time. And age two, I mean, think about it. If they get a cavity here, having them sit still for the dentist is impossible, right? It's impossible. So to have them fix those teeth, the dentist will likely want to put them to sleep to do that work. And that's not always necessary.  So sorry, that's not a very nice word, but it does. It does kill those cavities and then it makes this surface nice and hard once again. But the only downfall is it does turn those areas black. So I don't like doing it for the front teeth because it does turn those teeth black. I can cover them up with a tooth colored filling material that I use specifically for kids. So it literally takes like a minute. So not a long time, but it does take a minute and they don't need a needle, but it's not perfect. So it's just a thin covering that can go over it. It does make the black look less black, but it's not perfect. But it does help to banish those cavities so they don't have to be put under to get the needle, to have that cavity with a high speed handpiece drill come out. So it is a lot less invasive. Kids like me a lot more because it's so easy. But again, it does turn those areas black. So to avoid any of that, just make sure to help them brush really, really well. And another thing that I like to offer to, got this little guy here, is toothpaste. Specifically for kids, even age two, that does not contain any fluoride. Is that the English version? Sorry guys. Does not contain any fluoride. Check that out you guys. But it does, as it says, helps to prevent cavities. So I have these all the time. If I come to see you to your house, I have tons of these. So let me know. They are only $11 each, I believe, yeah, $11 each. That's it. But they are amazing. It comes in mint and bubble gum. And adults can use it too, which is kind of nice, right? But it is specific for kids because it does not contain any fluoride. So many different ways to help to prevent those cavities. And I like to see kids starting at age two, because I can always put a coating over the teeth to also help to prevent cavities. Because prevention is the best thing to do. Because once they get cavities, they do have to get those cavities taken out. So it's always better to prevent things because we don't want those cavities to get worse because it depends on when a child is going to lose those teeth. If it's a couple of years, then you do have to fix those cavities because they will get worse. If it's a couple of months, you likely don't have to fix them because the tooth will just come out anyway. But it's just nice to give them a good experience all around. So as I said, it's common. I see more plaque here, which leads to cavities. And those back teeth right on the tops, okay? So make sure they are able to brush those areas really, really well back there. You will probably have to obviously help them. But especially I find here, okay? So I hope that helped you guys. Let me know if any questions, if you need some toothpaste, let me know because I just ordered a bunch in because I did not order enough the last time. I've been seeing a lot of kids lately. But just keep in mind, if you do all of that, they do not have to get the needle. They do not have to be put to sleep to get any work done because kids are kids. They will be anxious going to the dentist. So sometimes it is easier. So just put them to sleep, do all the work, but it's unnecessary in most cases if we can catch the cavities early enough or not have them at all. So let me know you guys have any questions. Thank you so much for watching and we will see you very, very soon.
