Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel Inside the Hymn. Today I'm talking about bags So if you remember my 2018 New Year's resolution video, I mentioned that I wanted to try some new things If you saw my quilt that I made a couple weeks ago that was definitely part of the new things and So is sewing bags Believe it or not. This is only the second bag I ever made the first one I don't even have anymore. I don't even own it anymore Um, it was a labor of love And so I was a little bit hesitant to take on this project But was reassured whenever I found by annie.com. So if you don't know about by annie Um, that is an online retailer. They also have products in your local quilt shops That sells bag patterns and it's everything from larger tote bags like this one To smaller cosmetics bags and everything in between So this is the take a stand tote I am going to let annie from by annie.com Tell us herself about the take a stand tote The take a stand pattern includes instructions for stand up totes in two sizes You'll love these versatile totes for many uses as a day to day purse as a diaper bag To carry sewing supplies or even a small iron the small stand up tote measures eight and three quarter inches high 12 inches wide and six and a half inches deep The large tote measures 12 and a half inches high 16 inches wide and eight inches deep Each tote has an adjustable detachable carrying strap for carrying the tote over the shoulder or cross body An easy to install zipper at the top allows the bag to open wide for easy access To the spacious interior the end of the zipper can be tucked into a strap on the side of the bag On the other end of the bag the loop created by the zipper binding makes it easy to grab the tote It's also a perfect spot to clip on a ring of keys Each stand up tote features pockets inside and out to help organize everything you want to carry The outer pockets are made of quilted fabric and run the full width of the totes so carry keys phones paperwork and more A border adds interest to the front pocket and is the perfect spot for embellishment with brand tags ribbon embroidery or decorative stitches The inner pockets are made from mesh and bound with foldover elastic This gives great visibility for the contents as well as some extra stretch The best part about by ani is that in addition to the patterns they sell you all the little components that you need to complete the pattern You'll need some fusible interfacing for the border and a bit of mesh and foldover elastic for the interior pockets Zippers are used to close the tote and the front and back quilted pockets We recommend that you use handbag zippers their extra width is especially important for the zipper that closes the bag Find handbag zippers and lots of fun colors at our website by ani.com You'll also need some one inch polypro strapping to reinforce the carrying strap and some one inch hardware to make the strap Adjustable and to attach it to the bag You'll also need thread to match your fabrics and we suggest so find number 50 a 50 weight polyester thread from superior threads Most of the stitching is done on the coordinating fabric. So you'll definitely want thread to match that We also picked threads to match the lining and foldover elastic Finally, if you're going to carry heavy items in the tote We recommend slipping a plexiglass base stabilizer into the bag to stabilize the bottom Well, so it's not like you're having to go to all different places and you're You know second guessing whether or not that's the right zipper or the right mesh or the right whatever All of it is there. Um, she has also got her own line of interfacing It's like a foam material that makes sure that it stands up super straight and you don't get a floppy Wonky bag. There's nothing worse than a bag that just falls in on itself. Um After you've done to spend all that time making it Um, I will never ever ever ever use another type of material to make a bag Or even anything that I just want to be super firm. It really is a game changer Um, so some other things that are really kind of leery about bag making and probably would have kept me from making bags For so long is all the little steps and all the little finicky bits that I'm just not comfortable with I am maybe more comfortable Because I sew clothes and there are some like smaller finicky tasks with sewing clothes, but um, you know bag making is still a little bit foreign And by any has just come out with some additional add-on videos for a few of her patterns The take a stand pattern gives complete step-by-step instructions for the stand-up totes in two sizes You'll love the check boxes to help you keep track of where you are in the process As well as the handy tags for labeling all your pieces There are dozens of helpful illustrations in the pattern to guide you And we've also filmed an add-on video to help you with some of the more unique or challenging aspects of this project This helpful video series will show you how to choose and prepare fabrics for your tote Attach the carrying strap tabs and outer pockets Attach the ends to the bag body And install and finish the ends of the zipper that closes the tote those videos There were I think maybe five videos. They don't replace the pattern instructions by any structure the means But it is nice as you guys know from watching youtube videos to be able to see someone do something and see how they do it Before you head to your machine and try and kind of make it up yourself I found the videos to be very professional. Um, they were filmed really well You can see exactly what she's talking about as she's talking you through it Um, obviously she makes it look So easy. I can tell you that sewing around here and sewing these curves There was some cursing going on but I had the video there that could keep referencing and I could keep watching How is she doing it? How is she making it kind of come together so easily? And that gave me a lot of confidence to go back because I'm like if she can do it I can do it. We're both human beings neither one of us are machines You know, like we we have the same resources if she can do it I can do it and it it got me through some of the more challenging parts um Namely the um sewing this little it's like a gusset kind of in garment making terms Um, sewing this into the bag piece and then binding all of this So it was super helpful to see how she did that and have her walk you through You know the right way to do all of those things um, so I thought that the add-on videos were super helpful in finishing this um and Although you could obviously make the pattern without the add-on videos It's just an additional resource that's available to you. So why wouldn't you sit down and watch them? They're probably They're all Shorter than five minutes. They're not that long. So like I would um Get to a certain part and in the instructions it would say there's an add-on video for this section So I would go watch that before I would do anything else And then I would have kind of like a visual aid in addition to the written instructions that kind of helped me through the bag So I took a little bit of video as I was going to kind of show you how The bag kind of comes together So let's cut to that now and you can see kind of you know the progress that I made in making the bag I'll travel planned in the next three months. Um, I've got a trip to Boston. I'm going to see taylor swift in new orleans I am going to los angeles Um, all of this by the end of the year and maybe some a couple of extra trips for Thanksgiving So I plan on using this as my um carry on but what is like, uh, Your personal item that they is that what they call it? Um, because I have like I don't check the bag It doesn't matter where I'm going or how long I'm staying I will fit it all into a carry-on bag because there's nothing I hate worse than getting to where you're going And then having to wait for your luggage and then they lose it and this whole nightmare I'd like to keep my things with me at all times a bit of a control freak But I do like how this um is very roomy. It has the all those little pockets on the inside So I think it's going to be really really great for travel Um to have with me like my carry-on bag will be in the overhead and this will be in the seat in front of me And I'll be able to put whatever I need in there for the actual plane ride Um and anything that didn't fit in my actual in my actual, um carry-on bag So so yeah anyways, I I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of it and I'm really excited that I have it and Oh Lindsay made handmade that would be really cool to travel with something Um that I made so I encourage you to go check out buy any calm Especially if you've never heard of them before especially if you've had kind of an inkling to make um some bags or you know Either a tote bag or even something smaller. They make really really great gifts I think you'll probably see me on this channel before long Um making smaller kind of gifts from the buy any patterns. They're they're really great and as a pretty much beginner novice bag maker I am super proud with how this Turned out and I couldn't have done it if the pattern and the resources available. Um weren't Spectacular before I go. I wanted to let you know that buy any calm has decided to offer all of my viewers and exclusive coupon code the coupon code is for 15 percent off any size of buy any's soft and stable All the zippers half yard packages of mesh two yard packages of fold-over elastic and The take a stand pattern itself so you can use this coupon code to Say 15 off of pretty much everything you need to make a take a stand tote for yourself So that's going to do it for today's video. Thank you all so much for watching and I will see you all next time. Bye

predicting the structure of protein complexes is extremely difficult. Here, authors apply Alpha Fold 2 with optimized multiple sequence alignments to model complexes of interacting proteins, enabling prediction of both if and how proteins interact with state-of-art accuracy. This article was authored by Patrick Bryant, Gabrielle Pazzotti, and Orna Loftson.


So yeah, my basic topic is like the evolution of notifications in next cloud. I don't know Let's take a look back When we first started with federated sharing, maybe you ever tried it then you saw this nice model pop-up Which our designer was a very big fan of And yeah We made it because we needed it we need an option to accept the share and so on but then we at the conference in 2015 we had the idea like Yeah, let's take this to a new level. We need like a notification system, which is provided and Content should be provided by the apps not by the server and We want them to be available anywhere like in the browser and all the clients so on the conference we started with the first implementation and Yeah, we even finished it on the conference So it got merged into the 8.2 version of the old product And we had like two implementations. So we knew it doesn't only fit this one use case, but even more That was federated sharing with the help of pure and The announcement center, which is one of my own apps and since since I wrote the notification system I could also easily do that And the first public API was then implemented for the next bigger version So that we had some time to adjust if there was something wrong and of course there was and Yeah, so but this was a very basic version like we had no markup and so on so only simple text strings because I was not sure if the client could handle HTML and so on and But we had the action buttons already available because we needed them for the federated sharing to accept the shares and That's how they look like. So we even had like browser HTML 5 notifications and then in the web UI these beautiful notifications and I don't know if you ever saw them on the desktop client. So it's also one screenshot and Yeah, so today in the last time we enhanced them a bit we added like icons and we added rich String object support. So now you can have the user avatar Do we have like a laser pointer? so user avatars and the names are bold instead of being plain text like before And and we added some more implementations. This is not a complete list, but I didn't want to have two slides So that's the first start and of course it shouldn't be the end So that is what we want to have in the future And currently we also work on push notifications Back then when I made the slides, it was in Android version 1.5. Now they renamed it and it will be in 2.0 It's also in the next iOS version, but I don't know the version there and we want to improve the Notification handling on the desktop client like Roland already mentioned a bit so that we also have like the avatars there and And We also want these operating system notifications to not say. Yeah, you got one notification, but To actually tell you what happens and The other thing that we want to do is like increase the usage of notifications So basically there are four simple steps so you can have notifications in your apps you need to register and implement the IR class Then you register it in your apps file You create the notification and you pass the notification and that's it So it's very easy and if you have problems with that just Mention me on GitHub Twitter or whatever My name is always Nick vergessen because I forget my nickname. Yeah, that's it. Thank you


Alright, I'm going to keep the meeting short, but you guys that have checked Slack already may have seen a few neat deals. So one agent from Canada, right? Okay, so we got an agent from Canada that bought some leads and he put a comment on our YouTube video and said, I got my first four leads tonight through SecureAge of Mentor. I called them within five minutes and booked two appointments that picked up. He's an impressive stuff that Cody and the team have. Also, they're helping me in a small city in Canada. So, it's crazy. I mean, think about that. Four leads came in, two answered, which sometimes nobody will answer, like that's normal. And the guy talked to both of them and booked the leads. So he's clearly good at what we do works, but we're not going to stop there. I've got a couple more, and these all just came in literally since last night. The other one is, they said, I got to share this. I just called this brand new lead from SecureAge of Mentor. And because of the newest feature that we're adding, and in the process of adding for everyone, it's not even public yet, really. The agent says, the lady answered the phone and said, hello, and mentioned the agent by name. I know you, I know why you're calling and I've been waiting. I would like you to come over on Friday at 5 p.m. to discuss this. Can you swing that? Every agent's drinking. Yeah. Oh, wow. Mention the agent by name. And set the appointment for him. Yeah, hello, agent. I know why you're calling and I've been waiting. I would like you to come over on Friday at 5 p.m. to discuss this. Can you swing that? And the agent's like, well, yes, ma'am, I can. So she put on Facebook, it says, shout out to Cody and the entire SecureAge of Mentor team. So how about that? It's nice. Hand for Greg and Rance hooking that up. Yeah. Coach Burt's text was pretty crazy too. He said, I'll share it. Flying to Phoenix tonight and available over the next two days to talk strategy because we want to talk about some retreats and stuff like that. He said, by the way, we have picked up over $120,000 of business from just at 8% nation and more coming. Wow. He said, I'd like to talk to you about how we can help you dominate that space. So just, I'm like, dang, that's nuts. I mean, that's crazy. And we paid him to be there. So it's freaking hilarious. Yeah, and the money just keeps coming in. So that's cool. So not only are we getting positive stuff constantly and about how we're helping people, I've got random friends that are reaching out to me like, hey, can I talk to you about my business and branding and marketing, you know, all this kind of stuff? You know, they see what we're doing and it really is, it's obvious. I don't know if I shared this. I shared it with Greg and Rance. I'm going to share something else. An agent texted one of our leads, just keeps getting better. An agent texted one of our leads and said, Noella, my name is the agent's name. I'm getting back to you in regards to the Facebook post you responded to for the state regulated final expense programs. It was the one that asked you about your favorite color and you said pink. I'm the rep assigned to help you. Is there any reason you won't be home between 1 and 2.30 tomorrow? I will be home. Perfect. See you tomorrow. They just, I mean, yeah, it is, it is. But how many agents would be lazy and not take the time to send simply that? Yeah. How crazy is that? Oh, wow. Prospect. My name is agent. I'm getting back to you in regards to the post. You responded to the state regulated final expense programs. It was the one that asked you about your favorite color. You said pink. I'm the rep assigned to help you. Is there any reason you won't be home between 1 and 2.30 tomorrow? I love how the agent worded that to you. That's really, really strong. That's really good. It's crazy. Just all the stuff that we hear, all the things that are happening. There's Facebook groups of different companies that work our leads that are putting success stories like this every single day. And normally multiple times a day. So that was really, really cool. I thought I'd share it with you guys and say, hey, what we're doing is helping agents, helping to make more money. The ones that aren't lazy, they call it, it's kind of funny. The success stories, one, that the person knew why they were calling and then asked them to come out, called immediately. The other success story, it's kind of, there's a pattern here. The other success story called within, what, five minutes. The other success story, text to the lead. And I still bet that nine out of 10 agents that work leads don't do any of that. So when we're telling them and talking to them about it, let's drive home how important it is for the speed, how quick it need to be, how important shots are in getting to six calls, and how a little bit of skill and creativity can go a long way.


Hey guys Shea Bear 1000 here again Today We're going to be reviewing this Fancy Nancy corkscrew cork bottle opener thing Stay with us Shea Bear here, and we have Hi, Mikey. Hey, we got this This cork bottle opener here, and it looks pretty neat We got this at a thrift store For four dollars. Yeah, go ahead and eat on it And we're just going to give it a shot But I also got something else. I wanted to show you I got this tripod here. I got this tripod here It's the the velbon This is the t-dash 3500 now I got this Now it's missing the quick release thing the part you actually screw onto your camera And you can take it off and put it on I Normally don't buy these things without that because pretty much useless unless you make one which I can make one But I don't like spending that kind of time on something that you just buy for that five dollars on it And I got a half off give two dollar fifty cents for this now the reason why I bought this thing was because In another one of our videos, and we've had it for a while now We had bought one at an antique store remember I can never got it in an antique store because it wasn't antique This is the velbon S6000 so this thing's a monster. This thing's heavy-duty now The difference between this one and Mini me here It's this one of course. It's a professional grade So it's got the crank on it that cranks the head up and down and the little one don't Of course because it doesn't need one. It's it's small. It's just meant to sit in small places Other than that it is identical only smaller. It's got the same quick releases for your legs here It's got the same feets the same handle the same setup the heads a little bigger, of course on the other ones more stable It's got the same Locking it just don't like I said, it just don't have the crank. He just lifted up But I had to have it. I mean for two dollars and fifty cents It's it's the little brother To this one and I just thought it was the cutest thing and I had to have it monkey So we'll get the damn thing spoiled brat She didn't say that but I know what you think so I just thought I'd throw this in there on that instead of making one Minute-and-a-half video of where my intro is longer than the damn video So I had to show you that I just thought that was cute and bought it two different places Two and a half hours away from each other It's pretty cute. All right, so let's get back to this thing. I got this Like I said, it's it's I just thought it was neat. It's corkscrew opener when you push it like that This this the corkscrew actually turns No, let's get some light on a subject here. I don't know if you can see It's kind of hard to tell but this is actually turning if you look down here right in this area It's actually turning When you push it down it turns So we're going to see how well this works and it better work good because we have this $150 a bottle of wine here so That's right. Monkey's looking at me funny because she don't know how much I gave for this bottle of wine Now actually this bottle of wine was how much Like five bucks or something It's Sutter home, but it's good, you know, it's not like, you know very expensive wine, so we're gonna open this wine up but first This is supposed to have one of those um Push down things that's supposed to stick to the table But that doesn't seem to work so I'm not real worried about that because hey, it is a video. Yeah, it almost work But anyway, so it you know, it's good enough so I was holding on to it. It was shaky It is rubber so So we're gonna Open this up She laughing at me because this is not my drink of choice. I'm the old redneck style guy see that Now these guys are not sponsoring me any way at all Unfortunately because I would give them a hell of a review. Would you like to do it? Why are you laughing at me? Are you in the center? Yeah, I'm in the center They're not easy to open That's why we need a knife or something boy. We'll be back Tell them we'll be back monkey. You'll be back I'm still here Man, I don't want more.  I didn't get you a knife. I've been Sent with your dad right now rehab going. Yeah. Yeah, your daughter kid. I'll see my fingers Know as bad as the whole leg, but and it's twist off What fake cork?  Oh, yes. I am kidding you. Oh, you are Okay, good. I couldn't see that far Good porky if you get sit or not because we cut part of that out to keep you from Getting bored of us trying to open this but I went she handed me this and I went to grab this and then I went to grab the Scissors and she said I almost lost I Almost lost my life. I could have died those youtubers that always do that. I did almost idea Almost almost no almost means you had it crashing. No, anyway, so apparently you go like this. Look it don't fit See that it does not fit You have to crank it up. So You have to adjust this thing. I've never seen one like that.   Oh, yeah. Yeah, hard. Hold on. I got it. Are you gonna do it again, right? I guess I don't know. Yeah, I had one like this. I'm screwing put it back in there.  She was looking forward to a Long Island iced tea. I mentioned in my last video That we may or may not go to the bike fest. It's three days And but it's the largest in North America, which is bigger than Daytona bike in a shorter phone three days But we wanted to go to a couple bars that we really like they're not really bars more like pubs Well, the rats holds a bar. Yeah, but they have good musing they have a one of our favorite bands there And we was going to listen to them. Then there's another another one It's kind of like it looks it reminds It reminds us of the Apollo. There's a couple guys playing pianos and stuff. So that's pretty cool So we're gonna do a cheer here We ended up not going but we have a surprise for you guys tomorrow night because we'll be doing some filming tomorrow, right? And she will too so keep an eye on her channel. Yeah, so here we go. There we go now This thing what it's called. I don't know the name brand But I imagine if I would have adjusted that bottle right the first time it probably would have pulled out the first time And it pulls the cork off for you. You could probably put the cork back in with that thing Well, you just raise it, right? Well, you can go like that. I don't know. Maybe you've got to put it in further Um, we don't always get these kinds of wine bottles, but maybe we'll we won't now some more, huh? because this is cool even though I didn't Stay flat down. You kind of hold this anyway So that kind of helps hold it down as you push it in and then pull it out So it is very very adjustable Adjusted by loosening this right here on the side It'll go It'll go that so I like it Whatever it is if you guys know they put it in the comment below what this is how much original price is I'll try to google and find out myself There's no brand name. No, there's no no markings. No numbers But it's it's plastic, but of course this is not this is metal. That's metal, but it's plastic So it's probably not that much But it doesn't matter. I mean for four dollars. I think it's kind of cool.  Oh All right guys, so thanks for watching don't forget to check out monkey 1000s channel and it was special shout out and say thanks Ben did a video today on a review Awesome, Ben. You're awesome. Thank you so much.  Yeah Yeah, yeah and retiring mine and let it be the boat so It pops everyone sell it.

I really appreciate it, man And don't don't let people discourage it I thought of you today and almost mentioned it in my video that about because I had to put a windsock on my Mike and I it was going through my head about how people was bugging you about that. Don't listen to them, Ben You know you've been over that with them before, you know that it's an internal mic and you don't have an external port for Don't worry about it, man. We're gonna. Yeah, just do what you want to do and have fun with me And if you got it if you got to do a montage put some music in over that video clip I was good with that because it looked good. It sounded good Yeah, yeah, it was fine So anyway, you know, thanks again, Ben and speaking of names, you know Y'all know my real name is Marty and and growing up. That's me.  Everyone was there 2D fruity led a beauty and they all went out for air Shaber 1000 the myth man the legend y'all be cool


Hi everybody, welcome back to the Mandalay Bay. We're here at Cisco Live, this is Dave Vellante, John Furrier in a break. The hall is cranking, it's probably about 20,000 people here this morning in the keynotes. Very exciting keynotes, a message on simplification. I think Cisco nailed it. Ronek Desai is here, he's the Senior Vice President and the General Manager of Cisco AppDynamics, AppD, amazing acquisition that Cisco made a number of years ago. And of course he also looks after a full stack observability, which is the hot topic today. And he's joined by Alice McElroy, the Director of Operational Excellence at Royal Caribbean Group. Welcome to theCUBE, great to see you both. Thank you very much, Dave. Alice, you're very welcome, Alice, your business, wow. I mean it was in the news every day and you kind of were the bellwether you know when the shutdown occurred and then things came back booming. I mean it's been like a slingshot. What's the state of Royal Caribbean today?  We're one of the few companies, the only companies that, well one day you're doing full-fledged business and the next day it completely stops. Yeah, and thanks goodness, you know, we're coming back with a boom, the business is looking good. People have that appetite to want to get out and travel and we're just super excited at what the future brings for us. Yeah, ironic, big week for Cisco, right? I mean, huge theme around simplification. We actually wrote a piece prior to Cisco Live, kind of sort of challenging Cisco, like let's see you attack IT complexity, Cisco complexity, and I think you really nailed it. Full stack observability is a key piece of that that's threaded throughout the security cloud, the networking cloud. Explain how important that is and maybe your strategy overall and then we'll get into it a little bit. Yeah, so if you look at it, like we did a little survey with 2000 folks and what we found when it comes to observability, people have somewhere between 10 to 100 tools to monitor, 10 to 100 tools, right? Just think about it. And it's all for every ops domain, right? So there's application guys have their own tools, network guys have their own tools and then security has their own, right? But at the end of the day, when you have application problem, your end users are facing trouble from a performance perspective. It really doesn't matter where you have a problem, right?  You need to bring all of this thing together. So we've been on this journey from a full stack perspective where we are looking at bringing the network intelligence, Cisco being networking giant, right? Looking at security and bringing security and application observability from an app dynamics perspective and bringing it together as a set of solution and a capability so that our customers can really try to give that best digital experience, right? And with COVID, I mean, Alice can talk about it, right? Digitization just accelerated, right? Everybody is interacting with your app and that's how they are experiencing your brand, right? So it has become very, very important and this is where we are sort of investing heavily and we had a big announcement today, launching a lot of the things which we talked about at last at Skolau. So very exciting week for us. Yeah, I like it for people not familiar with this space. I mean, it was the old days of full stack observability, really application performance management, lots of logs and metrics and alerts. You ever have your phone blow up and everybody's texting you at once and okay, imagine that times a hundred and it's impacting your business right now. So we do live this every day, right? So paint a picture of your environment for us and really what's your role and your team's role? So yeah, I mean, maybe it's a better place of where we started, you know? So you're absolutely right. We had a challenge that our customers were telling us our websites were down or they couldn't make a cruise booking. We had the challenge of that when those incidents did happen, it took a small army to figure out what was wrong and that triage process of the silos. And then with that, obviously it was increasing our meantime to resolution. So we started this journey of wanting to simplify and figure out, you know, how do we use tools to help us get out of that? And we turned to APTI at that point. We formed a centralized monitoring team. We also had the tool sprawl issue. We tried to simplify the stack in that manner. It was easier for me at that point to list the tools that I didn't own than I do own. So we went through that transformation and as we got APTI in place, we were able to reduce the number of people that it took to resolve issues. And mainly we got great results in our meantime to resolution. We cut it by over 50%. So that's a huge number for us and what does it mean to, it means that this means those critical business applications are still up and running more efficiently and effectively. So would you think about full stack observability? You know, it's sort of a funny term, right? Explain what that means versus not full stack observability. What's different about full stack? So I think the key differentiation in like the way I look at it, full stack, you can imagine what we are talking about, right? But really associating with some of the business metrics which Alice is talking about, right? Is where the secret sauce is, right? This is where we sort of like bringing in, of course we will bring and differentiate ourselves with anything which is out there considering the overreach on networking and security. But adding business context on top of it, right? So that you can have that conversation with your business partners and saying, you know what, I have a performance issue but this is how it's affecting. Like 50% of the customers are getting stuck on the last step when they're trying to book their cruise, right? Getting that level of those business metrics is where we sort of bring it all home together. And that's where it's resonating very well. And I believe that with full stack, tools sprawl, complexity, and the last thing which is from a business partner's perspective, of course, we want to have that great conversation. But even amongst the ops teams, can we create an environment that there is a better collaboration, right? We at Cisco, and you know Cisco for a long time, we're not going to force convergence of the organization in our customers' environment but can we create tools so there's a better and less frictions among the ops teams, right? This is where we are focused on full stack, right? Bring, and observably in my mind, is a data problem. It's not really anything else. So if you solve from that perspective, I think it will help from all those angles. So Alice, what's the scope of observability? And I'm curious, it's obviously important in the transaction system, people trying to swipe a credit card. But then there's the whole customer experience. Have you, does observability extend into that? I mean, it's got to, right? Absolutely, I mean, really we're doing all this because it's about, so Roarkiving has an idea. We're really not a cruise line. We're a company that creates awesome customer experiences and technology is enabling all those experiences. So that's why it was critical for us to understand the applications and those capabilities that technology is enabling. So once again, we began to monitor that. We also have use cases where our e-commerce teams are using the business metrics. So what do I mean by that? We're actually looking at the funnels, the booking funnels, seeing retention rates as the customers travel through that funnel. And when we see drop-offs, we're able to react. Another example of where we're using business metrics is, everyone knows about the war rooms and doing checks. We would sit down and actually have a manual Excel spreadsheet and ask each team, is your system green, yellow, red? Now we've tied monitoring behind that. So there's actual data driving those indicators. And more importantly, we're not just looking at system health, we're looking at business health. So we're also looking at our booking revenue for both our e-commerce channels. Where's the data live? Because it's obviously, you have to pull it from a lot of different systems. Is it in a central data warehouse or is it sort of a real-time monitoring system? So we're using real-time. We are using the real-user monitoring tool so we can watch a transaction from the time that that customer interacts with it, for instance, as a website, all the way through until it reaches the end system. So there's no analytic latency. You're not waiting for a data scientist. I mean, I'm sure you do some analytics in the back end, but in real-time, before you lose the customer, you're able to ideally respond. That's what I define as real-time, before the customer leaves. Because we all know, I think someone was talking to one of those sessions, is like, with this generation, they expect that experience. And if they don't get, that's your brand. And if they don't get the experience they're expecting, you're gone and you don't have the opportunity to regain that customer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, and I think to Alice's point, right? Tying that together from a really end-user perspective to the internet in the middle, right? Because the users are coming from all over the world. And I'm sure you access internet from your flight. Of course, yeah. So now when users are coming from all over the place, accessing your application, either in your private data center or a public cloud, and those applications actually are accessing some of the SaaS APIs in the back, right?  And this is another one which we did it, where we brought in 1000Is, intelligence which we have it, and then app dynamics and we brought it together. So now you can actually get all the way from your mobile or browser sessions into your application stacks and all the components in the middle, right? And then today morning, I was doing a keynote and we really showed our customers and partners that we can actually see what you're doing on your laptop, masking of PIN information, technology called session replay. So it's almost like I'm watching over your shoulders, what you're doing it, and where you're struggling it, and giving that intelligence to the developers, right? So think about how powerful it is when we bring all of this thing together and easier, meantime to repair, but become proactive, right? And this is where the game is. And your customers, it's a floating data center, right? So what kind of challenges does that bring in terms of observability? So you know, that's where we're hoping to leverage 1000Is even more, because you're right. We have a floating data center that relies on satellite connectivity. And even though we've announced our relationship with Starlink, it's still a satellite, so there's still going to be outages. You know, really, I'm really curious to understand, you know, as transactions do have to come off the ship, go through the satellite and the shore and back, where are our bottlenecks? Where's the bandwidth consumption with that? We're looking forward, we're working with 1000Is to really tune that and get some really good use cases so we can see that performance in the usage. I've always felt like AppD was this sort of asset that could explode. And it seems like now you've got the pieces in place. Do you feel confident that now, especially with 1000Is integration, that it's ready to just really change the game? No, I think you're spot on. What has happened is when we have conversation with just about APM, you lose the customer, because that's so like, okay, fine, I understand the application stack visibility, but I think where most of our customers are saying, you know what, we need to bring this together holistically and look at it and delivering 1000Is AppD together as a full stack use case. Looking at and bringing in Kena security, Panoptika, Talos and AppD together as a something which we call it business's observability. Is where we've done all of this and this is all available, right? This is not like future. This is available now, customers can consume it, right? And I think the big thing which, you know, I'm sure you heard this morning was around the platform, right? This is where we are enabling the partner, like entity, right? And like, can we enable them, right? Because the ecosystem is so complex, we can't potentially build all the capabilities, right? So we want to open up the system for our partners to come in, use the extensibility which we have it in the platform and really kind of solve those use cases which our customers need, right? Okay, so a company like Cisco's never done, right? As a customer, what's next? What do you want these guys to deliver next to make your life easier? And I'm listening and making notes of it. You know, we're really happy to see the expansion. You know, I kind of consider that we've been on this full stack of observability march before it had a fancy name. So we're extremely happy to see the expansion in the time of all the different solutions into one. I think that's definitely the upside for us right now. You've got the sort of platformatization is appealing to you. I feel like, I mean, to me, I saw three clouds this morning, probably security cloud, a network cloud, and a full stack of observability cloud with a thread, a thousand eyes through all of them. And we were just talking to Tom Gillis, there's actually a lot of connectivity. So I would expect over the next couple of years, that's going to become one platform for in terms of how you envision it. Is that the right North Star? Is that the right thing to think about? So when it comes to observability, right? If you look at it from a perspective of how our customers look at it, that's a domain. This is ops teams. Of course we have many ops teams, right? So we don't want to develop tools and sell backup tools, right? We want to sell it as a solution from a platform is a perfect way to do it. So that's a persona we're trying to address, right? And when we talk about networking cloud, right? It's the persona which just looks at Wi-Fi and your campus and your data centers and your internet and et cetera, right? So we're sort of looking at this, but there is absolutely a thread amongst this all, right? So when we look at network and multi-cloud, that observability is going to sit on FSO platform, right? We're not going to create yet another offering just because you want to monitor networking, right? It's going to be part of the FSO. So okay, so the business impact, obviously a better customer experience, but there's also an internal impact in terms of your resource, right? Because you're not running around putting out as many fires. So, A, is that true? And what have you done with that resource? How are you sort of redeploying it? So, you know, right now we are on this quest to reduce the noise and we did realize that we needed some help with that. I also want to make sure that, you know, we are maturity level where we think we are. So long story short, we've partnered with NTT to help us on that journey. You know, I always want to make sure I'm getting the value out of the platform, out of the solution. So NTT has come in and done a maturity assessment and we're working now on action plans of how do we take our current existing apps and even better them getting monitored better and then increase their maturity from like a goal to a platinum level. And with the end result being that I'm going to get more adoption of the platform, I'm engaging my engineering teams again, making sure I've got the usage and I don't have some unknown tools for all out there. Does that involve a rationalization exercise as well as those sort of investigations often do, where you say, you know, where's the real value of my portfolio, if I can consolidate these and double down on those? Absolutely, absolutely it does. And I think, you know, it also helps us look overall, are we really going in the right direction? You know, because what's going to be key to us? You asked earlier, where are we going? You know, we've gone from that reactive to proactive. I want to get to predictive and I've got to have clean data. So I'm hoping that what we're doing with NTT and this maturation will get us to a predictive and set us up for AI. Anticipatory, all right, Ronek, we'll give you the last word, I know you guys. Yeah, no, I think it's super excited. Anybody listening to this, I just want them to look at three things, FSO, business observability, and that end user data digital monitoring, right? We all have that three demos working on the booth here. So if you are listening to this, please go visit. Exciting week for us, products are here to your point. This is the time for us to take off. Yeah, well congratulations and awesome to see you guys back booming and really thrilled for you. Appreciate you coming on theCUBE. Thank you very much, Alice. Thank you, Dave. All right, our pleasure. All right, keep it right there. Dave Vellante, John Furrier, we back with our next guest right after this short break. You're watching theCUBE at Cisco Live 2023 from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, right back.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a four box break of 2022-23 Bowman University Chrome basketball. It's a mouthful there. This is random letter break number 46. We're going by the first letter of their first name as you've seen. MBA Draft Night, ladies and gentlemen, if you're in the YouTube stream, vote in our poll. Who is selected at number two in the MBA Draft Night? Is it going to be Brandon Miller or is it going to be Scoot Henderson? Vote and discuss in the chat. There's all the letters right there. Now we're also giving away four extra spots within this break, so we only sold 13 spots outright. We're going to randomize those 13 names, 13 spots. Top four, we'll get extra spots after seven. Three into four, seven times. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh, and final time. We got Nathan, Daniel, James, and Daniel. Congrats to you. Extra spots going your way. It's like a little buy one, get one opportunity here. Put those rooftops next to your name, so you know those are your winning spots. Now let's randomize you a letter. Let's roll it and randomize it. Five and a five, ten the hard way. And ten, James, Dan, and Daniel after ten, the hard way. Five and a five, ten times for the letters. One, two, and tenth and final time. Ooh. Victor won Benyama on top, James. Look at that. Fresh case as well. Fingers crossed, man. Daniel, you've got C, Katelyn Clarks. S and J for you, Daniel. Nathan with B, Matthew with P, Nathan with EG, Daniel with DK, Nathan with Edo, James with A, Rosario with F, Matthew with T, Nathan LH, James with M, last spot, Mojo, Nathan with WZ, and Daniel with R. Let's order these alphabetically. I don't think there's going to be a trade. Trades are kind of rare in these letter breaks traditionally, but while you're thinking about it, let's pop open this fresh case. Actually, let's take this out of my inventory system first. A little college baseball on the background. The winner of this game will move on to the final series. So it's out of my inventory system. Let's pop this case over here and then we'll roll a live die and we'll see which four boxes we're going to do. Oh, James is going to pitch a trade here. Maybe S for A. He wants to trade his A for Daniel's S. So that would be Scoot versus a number of A's. Anthony Black, I think, is going to be one of the big names for letter A. All right, so took two off the top of each of these to create another four right here on the dice roll. We'll go one, two, three, four, five, six, four, one, two, three, four. So we're going to do that middle column there. These will save for next time. No trades, right? No, I think we're going to roll, James. TWC trade window close. And now let's see what we have inside. The next four, did I load up the next four boxes? The next four boxes in the store right now. Today is a good day to get after this Bowman University stuff. And again, you can vote in our poll. Looks like our poll is pretty split at the moment. It's in our YouTube chat. We all know that 99.9% chance that it's Victor Wenben-Yamon going number one to the San Antonio Spurs. The Hornets have the number two overall pick. It's supposed to take a trade out of it. But either way, who selected at number two in the NBA draft tonight, which is currently the pick is currently with Charlie. Is it going to be Alabama's Brandon Miller or is it going to be the G League's Scoot Henderson? The poll is split 5050 break to tie someone. See, even what's going on? I'm doing well. NBA draft night. Let's see what the Lakers do tonight. Hope Springs eternal and these, every one of these players can become Hall of Famers. Before draft, before they're drafted, after they're drafted.  Someone I read somewhere that's that tonight might be a pretty active trade night more than any other night in NBA draft history. There was Marcus Smart for Zingas removed around. The Wizards ended up sending KCPCP3 to the Warriors for Jordan Pool. So the Wizards are completely rebuilding. Middleton's declining his option will become a free agent. I mean, all sorts of a lot of people in LA radio saying that the Lakers are going to trade up, trade down or trade for someone who can help them now. But still stay young, younger. Here's Juju Watkins 007 out of 2.99. That's going to be for the letter J. Did I not print out this list? I print out this list. Letter J is for Daniel. I think Derek Lively's draft doc is rising. There's Brandon Miller. Be the second overall pick. Jordan Hawkins I think should be drafted at some point in the first round. It's Keegan's twin brother Chris Murray. And here's our first autograph. Syracuse is Judah Mintz. I think I've seen him in some mock drafts. First or second round pick. That's going to be for Daniel in the letter J. This is where I don't follow college too closely during the season. But draft time is usually where I'll do a crash course. Try to learn some things about some of these players. All right, so here is the official printout, by the way. Here on a Thursday, break 46. Next four box break in the store right now. And we got a gold shimmer, Brandon Miller. That's a nice time to get this. The night of the draft, Nathan with the letter B for Brandon. 17 out of 50. Jack Howard, Juwan Sun should be a mid first round pick. There's Jalen Bridges. Daniel with the letter J. 22 out of 25. One of the orange parallels. They pop nicely. Grady Dick should be a first round pick. We just saw Grady Dick on TV with a red sequin jacket. I didn't see the pants. And a red sequin turtleneck tank top. Shades chain. I thought the sequin turtleneck tank top was a little much. I feel like you needed some contrast. Maybe something flat black underneath. Maybe like a cashmere. With a red sequin on red sequin. Two matchy-matchy for my tastes. Jack, it was pretty cool there. Stephen says, what do you think it would take for a last track in trade for the Spurs to trade out of that? How much would they have to give up if they're taking phone calls? I mean, it would never happen. You would have to give up so much. You would have to get a common, probably multiple teams that have to be involved that would send multiple young up and coming stars to put on that team. We're talking superstars and future superstars. I mean, this is like, like Luka Dončić. I mean, I don't know if Dallas would ever do that. Or maybe they would. That would kind of be crazy. If Dallas is thinking, we're never going to be able to give Luka Dončić another contract, we're having a hard time building around him. The only way Dallas fans would allow Luka Dončić to leave if you're getting another sort of bonafide future star in return, you know, they have a history of European big men being on that team and building around that. It'd be Luka Dončić plus a couple other starters on that team, plus future picks, you know, and maybe San Antonio would send some player, would send like a fringe player the other way, but I think it kind of starts there. We've got Armando Baycott for James, 233 out of 499, but I can't see the Spurs doing that. I can't see, you know, because yeah, essentially you're kind of announcing a rebuild in a way. You are announcing a rebuild. You're getting a, you know, a player who hasn't played a single win in the NBA. There's another Armando Baycott, 007 out of 399 for James in the letter A. I think it kind of starts there. We've got Ernest Uda Jr, letter E, that's going to be for Nathan, letter E. And we've got Roddy Gale Jr, 152 out of 199 for Daniel in the letter R. All right, two more boxes to go. I don't think the Spurs would even take picks now that you think about it, if that was the case. There would have to be a third team involved in, I don't know, when three teams trade, trades happen and I can't, my brain is not capable of handling three teams in a trade.  I think it would have to be, what, in this college about baseball game? I have no idea, probably LSU, the underdog, kind of the five seed. I think Wake Forest is supposed to be like, they're just amazing, they're supposed to roll through everybody. You lost yesterday in time. I think maybe, oh somebody, right, because it's like double in, Dodger's got lucky. Their head's not been playing well. Yeah, I mean, I don't even know where you can set a framework of a trade for that. I mean, it would have to start with someone like, with someone like Luca Dodge, or a player of that caliber, like still that young, but an obvious superstar in the league, something like that. All right, next box, we got a Khalif battle, 007 out of 150 pink mini diamonds. There's Jaden Shoot, Purple Shimmer, and we got a Jalen Wilson, 238 out of 499. Wilson! Wilson! That's going to go to Daniel and Leroy J. But, let's save a base Brandon Miller for Nathan as well. Possible number two overall pick. Armando Bakehot, Purple to 399. And Cam Whitmore is supposed to be drafted in the first round. And there's Mike Miles from TCU. Mike is going to go to James. And who's going to split the tie? Who selected number two in the NBA draft? Vote in our YouTube poll. We're stuck at 50-50 on Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson. Should I have done another? Maybe I should have done another. That poll worked by me. My college stats professors will not be happy with what I just did. Although, I guess another question would be, it's pretty unlikely the Spurs are going to trade the top pick, but are the Hornets going to trade the second pick? Doubtful, right? But I think Hornets GM Mitch Kupcheck, former Lakers GM, Mitch Kupcheck was saying that he was thinking that he would entertain offers, but did not anticipate getting like a phone call an hour before the draft or anything like that. If a deal was going to happen, probably would have happened by this morning. I don't think anything's really happened, right? Except for Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan Folt. That's a good deal. Does that mean Draymond is coming back? Possible. You got to refresh that team a little bit. We heard about the smart Porzingis deal. So what happens to Brogdon now? Originally, he was supposed to go to the Clippers. And now that's not happening anymore. So is he butthurt?  Why would Charlotte move the second pick? I guess, what's their motivation? Let's take a look at their depth chart. If they think they could get some instant talent on board to pair with, well, I guess that would be the reason, right? I don't know, Lamello can't have more than a couple of years left on his deal. There is, you know, you got to maybe try to build a team that tells you, hey, we're trying to build a winner. We're trying to build around you, Lamello. We want you to stay. We want you to try to get us deep playoff runs here. Otherwise, he may walk. He may be a free agent. Go to the Lakers or something like that, you know. But they've got Terry Rosier on that team.  Who can they add with the second pick? Here's Judah Mince, 23 out of 99. Letter J, that would be for Daniel. Yeah, a lot of interesting moves, you know, and a lot of deals could happen still, just leading up. We're about, what, 30 minutes to an hour away from the draft? There's DeWon Harris Jr., 9 out of 99. That'll be for Daniel Letter D. We've got Nick Smith Jr., is he supposed, I think he might be a first round pick, right? Letter N, Nathan, I think I've seen his name in some mock drafts here and there. My Lakers thinking about, I've heard some rumblings, they may trade up, they may trade down, they may trade out and try to get some concurrent player. Lakers front off his little hit or miss, but sometimes they, but what I do am confident about is their ability to identify talent. Where Austin Reeves was an undrafted player, Alex Caruso was a second round player, Kyle Koosma was late first round, so they're able to identify talent pretty well. They're shading shoot, Gold shimmer, 13 out of 50. So I think their team is pretty confident that even if they, even if they trade back, that they can still find an identified talent that could be you know, a rotational player or even a starter within a year or two.  They might trade out, get some current player. A lot of things can happen, stick with us, discuss the NBA draft and break some basketball with us all night long. JaspiesCaseRakes.com, I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


You know it amazes me there aren't that many people in city government who can say that they live in the same zip code They were born in and so it does give me I think a unique perspective on the evolution of the city as well as Where I hope the city is going for my kids and for everybody. I Think that the single most important thing we've done is to lay out a plan that recognizes how all the different levers Can come together to drive more impact and more production and quite frankly more Preservation of the housing stock that we have here in New York City It's very important when we look at growing the economy to think about where are the places that companies and people want to grow Their businesses and again it ranges from small creative Industrial and technology companies to thinking about what are we doing in places like midtown east right which have been sort of The epicenter of the global culture and commerce for decades And so I think for us it is absolutely Intertwined what our city looks like the places that people want to work and most particularly how do companies want their work Bores to experience the urban environment every community every person in New York deserves design it's ultimately reflection of who we are as a culture and New Yorkers are the best the funkiest the brightest the most innovative and that shouldn't matter whether you live in the South Bronx you live in Tribeca or you live in Red Hook You are entitled to and deserve good design But we also can't take actions that prevent us from moving forward And I think that landmarks has done a terrific job in this administration of striking that balance again of Celebrating and preserving neighborhoods and buildings that ultimately reflect all of New York While also allowing the city to move forward with a really smart growth agenda. There is no better place on the planet to live I've been lucky enough to travel around the globe and there is something about New York's energy It's it's diversity quite frankly, and I mean diversity in every sense of the word the diversity of its neighborhoods It's building typologies its population its language its food. It is not a one-company town It's an incredibly diverse town and out of that diversity comes what I truly believe the most innovative ideas and The most interesting place for people to live and to grow and to raise a family And so my hope for New York and the work that I'm getting to do here now is to really Celebrate that diversity and strengthen that diversity And so our job is to make sure that we are making the investments both in the built environment and in our human capital and our cultural capital and our education systems so that again It's unbelievably organic excitement around New York can continue to grow. Let's make the investments in the people places and Companies that are going to make this city continue to be the global center of commerce culture and innovation
