Hello everyone, thank you so much for coming. My name is Megan. This is Amanda, Matt, Erin, and Logan. And we looked at exploration on cannibalization and market basket analysis for furniture company. So cannibalization is just when a company introduces a new product and they are concerned that that product is taking sales away from products in their product line. So Steelcase introduced a new chair called Series 1 in fall 2017 and they're concerned that this chair is taking sales away from their other chairs. To receive two main data sets from Steelcase, the pricing data set, which was a pretty large data set about 8 gigabytes, and the cannibalization team didn't look at that one as much. We focused on the shipping data and we looked at the variables, and we were creating product line codes, shipment data, and quantity. So those six chairs of interest, we decided to use some quantity order throughout all the years of the data set. We decided to make racks. So each chart on this rack represents one chair. So this vertical black line represents the chair of interest, which was released in 2017. So as you see from this graph, it's very typical and we think that's because the chairs were stumped per month. So we decided to stump the chairs per year to get about a graph. So this graph represents all five chairs of interest that ordered quantity stumped per year. So as you see, there is an increase and then it starts to plateau. So again, there's vertical black line as the introduction of the newest chair. So as you see this steep drop off right here, and that's the 2019 data, you only see two months of it. So what's interesting is that if we zoom in, we have this second vertical black line. So that was the introduction of our previous chair. So as you see, in the year before, the year was introduced, there was a large spike. So we were expecting to see a similar spike with the introduction of this new chair, but we did it. Yes. So to try to calculate any potential cannibalization from series one, we decided to perform linear regression on the other five chairs of interest. So the goal was to predict what the sales for those five chairs would have been in 2018, had series one not been introduced, and then compare that those projected sales to the actual sales with series one. And as Amanda said, the sales for these chairs are pretty cyclical, so we decided to do a prediction for each quarter. So that gave us 20 regression equations as there's four quarters and five different chairs of interest.  This is just an example of one of our regression lines for our third quarter for one of our chairs. As you can see, there's only four data points on this graph, so that's just something to keep in mind going forward. Our squared value for this particular regression line is .733. So here we have a table of the residuals for each chair by quarter, so that's just taking what the actual sales were for this quarter for this chair, and then subtracting what we projected the sales should have meant in series one not been introduced. So as you can see, most of these sales are negative, which means that we're predicting higher sales than what actually was sold for each chair. And then this bar graph, these bar graphs kind of just reiterate that. So the bar on the left is what was actually sold for each chair with the bar on the right being what we predicted for 2018. And as you can see, for four of the five chairs of interest, the prediction was slightly higher than what was actually sold except for this metal chair. So that kind of indicates potential cannibalism. And then this bar graph compares what we projected was lost in total in this number of chairs sold, and then on the bar on the right is how many chairs of series one were sold in 2018. So as you can see, well, we had to kind of block out the quantities for legal reasons, but we projected that series one sold a little bit more than the total lost sales for the other five chairs. Yeah, so in conclusion, we are led to believe that series one did in fact cannibalize some of the chairs of interest just because we saw that plateau of the chairs in 2017 versus the lack of slight after series one was launched like we said soft seed in 2013. And then also the predicted sales were just consistently lower than what we had hoped they would be, although these conclusions may be overly pessimistic just because chairs are sold in trends like they had peaks and lows, so it's just hard to really tell. So for our future work, we're looking deeper into type series forecasting, which we did here, but the competence interval was just a little bit bigger than what we were expecting. And then we would just use more data. So we only have a year and a half after series one is like introduced. So it's just really hard to say for right now. All right, so the other problem that we've been investigating was market basket analysis, and that is a way of predicting what a future customer may buy based on what previous customers bought. So if customer A bought product A, B, and then they bought product C, and product B bought product A, and product B did customer C back do the same thing. So there's three probabilities that are investigated that are used, confidence, support, and left. And then just an example, so it's like an if, then statement. So the antecedents are the if part, so milk and eggs. And then the then part is the consequences, so bread, yogurt, and cheese. And since we're under confidentiality, we have to use generic products instead of the actual products that we looked at. We decided to go for food. Yep. So we have those support, confidence, left. I'll briefly explain what they mean. Support is a frequency of X and Y over the total number of items. So it's more or less a probability that those two items exist in that data set. Confidence is more of a conditional probability if you order X, what's the probability that you ordered Y. And then left is a little bit harder to explain. It's the total probability of support of both of those, the actual, and then over the support if they were completely independent. So it's that ratio. So what did the data look like? We got a bunch of pricing data. This is what we use. This is for the costs. And that was very large data set. They said eight gigabytes, and that had millions of rows and 40 columns. Each row represents an item in order. So we have an example of what this looked like. Like if you had order one and they ordered apples, they might order five of them. And I'm going to get that into this format in order to put that through a program called MLX 10. And this is what it kind of should look like. A binary, did they order apples and eggs in order one or milk and sausage in order two. So we put that through and got a list of rules. So from the CSV file, we threw that into a tableau and got, and we made a bar graph. So in the bar graph, we have the entity-densing consequences in the columns and then the weighted average in the row. So instead of looking at the probabilities all individually, we decided to put them together and create equation. So we did point one time support and we did a smaller support because we didn't think it was quite as important, but we still wanted it considered into the equation. And then we did point four times confidence and point four times. So this is an example of what the bar graph looks like. As you can see at the top, we have the antecedents and at the bottom, we have our consequences. And then on the columns, we have the weighted averages. And from the graph, we took all the rules and all of the weighted averages and we put them into a word document set up in the format and then the weighted average on the cat. And what we were looking at was we were looking at subgroups. So as you can see, we have three of the same products into three different subgroups here. And ideally, they're going to be around the same weighted average. And they're basically giving me the same thing. So what we did was we averaged all of these weighted averages and then just stuck them into a single group looking like this. And what we saw was two different types of products. One product was a unique product. So the chocolate peppers in hand, you can see they're only in their separate subgroups. They're not mixed in. And then the other product is one that's across the board. So if you see the eggs, the eggs are in all the subgroups, not just a single one. So in the future, we might want to look at how market bats get analysis before and after the introduction of that chair series one and see if that had any influence on that. But while we were kind of finishing up, we decided to look at how products were related in another way. We wanted to look at that in a network sense. So we created a network of products where the weights on each edge were how often those products were ordered in the same order. So using this, we want to cluster those items together. So we might want to, this was an example, we want to cluster this and then cluster those. Clustering, so what I used to, kind of clustering, it's about clustering and Mubang's method. Clustering, perspective clustering, did it in two very large clusters and some small clusters, but they often worked in just one and that was kind of not as ideal. And some clustering on those large clusters didn't really yield anything meaningful. So I tried the Louvain's method for hoping for something better and that created three clusters of decent size and around, like, 13 tiny ones, only one. But it did that with more consistency, which is what I really liked about that. So I preferred Louvain's methods clustering afterwards. And with this, CLK has an idea of what products were kind of related together. In the future, we might want to look at how product categories are related, so broader scale, and perhaps try some clusters for Louvain's. So this is a picture of us, we ended up being able to go to Steele Pace and present in front of some of their students there. So that was a really cool opportunity. And in conclusion, we just want to acknowledge our industrial partners, Brian and Connor and our professor David Austin, who had just done a huge help throughout the semester. And I'd also like to thank Pick Math for this opportunity.


Hi, everyone. Welcome to the CUBE's presentation of the AWS Startup Showcase, Cyber Security. This is season three, episode three of the ongoing series that features exciting startups from the AWS ecosystem. I'm your host, Lisa Martin. Pleased to welcome back one of our CUBE alumni, Amish Devatya, co-founder and CEO of Baffle. He's here to talk about easy data protection for applications, analytics, and AI. Amish, great to have you back on the program. It's great to be here, Lisa. So as we talk about cloud often as we do, we know so many customers are migrating data to the cloud. This is customers in every industry worldwide. But there are some problems with moving data to the cloud with existing approaches. What are some of those problems? Sure. So first, let's talk about all the personas involved, right? So when it comes to data, the data scientists and the data analysts are the ones that are initiating these requests. What they have to do is to make sure that they can get security to sign off on a project before they actually move the data around. And then the last piece of it is the operations aspect of it, which is the data store managers and so on that anybody who's registering the database. What has made this even more complicated now is that not all three of these entities are even the same organization, right? Because of the fact that you are moving data to the cloud. So when data scientists start this process, they have to first identify sensitive data. They have to get security to approve and then move that data to a different infrastructure, typically the cloud where it can be analyzed. And then it lies the challenge. Sensitive data, if it's exposed in the cloud can create significant liabilities thanks to privacy regulations that find them if they lose their data. And we're going to be talking about some of those privacy regulations. One of the things also that I know in my research on back along what you guys are doing is that historically data-centric protection has been challenging to implement. Why is that? Well, because of the fact that you're changing the actual workflow, you're changing the way that data looks when it is transformed. Existing applications will not be able to process the data if it is an encrypted form. So there are different approaches to solving these problems. One of them is known as format preserving encryption or tokenization where the transformed data does look like the original data. So those are some of the controls that have to be put in place. So when you transform the data, you want to make sure that existing applications continue to work. And then when you compute the whatever query it is that you are creating from a business perspective as logic perspective, you want to restore the result to its original form. So these are some of the challenges that do happen, which is where these controls have been difficult to adopt. Everybody understands this is the last stand, right? If you can protect the data at the record level, you don't have to worry about anything, but it's been historically very difficult to implement. Let's talk about the situation that many customers find themselves in these days and that's hybrid cloud, multi-cloud. When we're talking about customers moving their data to the cloud, where is hybrid cloud and multi-cloud still relevant? Well, like what I like to say is data is always created outside of the cloud, right? You have transactions from point of sale terminals. If you're infrastructure, critical infrastructure player, you have a lot of IoT data. The data is created in the field. It needs to be ingested into a digital infrastructure, typically in the cloud. So what you want to make sure is that process is very clearly understood and very clearly engineered. That's where the hybrid comes in, right? It is not always everything is not in the cloud only. It originates outside and then gets ingested. Multi-cloud is what every enterprise follows because they don't want to have cloud lock-in. So that's the extent of the challenge. Infrastructure is multifaceted, but the controls need to be uniform. Right, uniform control is really key there. Data is the lifeblood of every organization, but data sprawl is a real thing. We talked about a lot of customers are in multi-cloud by default or because to your point, they don't want lock-in. But as sprawl is real, how is battle helping customers protect data that is so spread out? Couple of different ways. First of all, we make sure that we work very closely with data discovery vendors who can find data that is sensitive. So we have ways of integrating with these vendors so that the data itself is very clearly understood to be sensitive. We can protect the data as soon as it's created, number one. And number two, we protect it in a way where the existing application workflows are not impacted. We are merely a bump in the wire is what we like to say. We are a network proxy that sits between the place where the data is originated and where it's being migrated to. The migration tool is thinking that it's writing to the cloud database, but it's actually going through our transformation engine to make sure that no sensitive data ever leaves the firewall. And that's critical for organizations to get their hands on the data that's sensitive, making sure that it is safe and secure and doesn't go past that firewall. Let's talk about encryption. We talked about this last time you were here and compliance remind the audience why storage level encryption isn't enough for organizations most to meet compliance regulations. Yes, so first of all, let's understand what storage level encryption does, right? And why it was invented. There used to be a time when data centers were not secure. Everybody had their own data center, usually in the basement and the disk itself would get stolen or get misplaced. That was a massive, massive problem because of the fact that sensitive data might be lost. So the industry came up with a way to protect the media itself. The database vendors built on it by creating what is known as transparent data encryption but the definition of transparent data encryption is that as soon as the data is accessed it is decrypted and delivered to the database in the clear. Every day we come across these hacks where hackers are getting into enterprise environments and compromising credentials of the administrators of those databases. What we are doing is protecting exactly against that threat and the regulators are starting to wake up to that. They are now saying that if you protect the data at the storage tier you have to also adopt supplementary controls to make sure that there is ways of protecting the data all the way up to the application tier or anywhere in the infrastructure you cannot expose that data until it needs to be visualized. So that's what is really happening. PCI DSS version four which is just about to go into effect. It's already been published and it's going to be enforced starting January 1st, 2025 is causing this urgency to adopt these controls today. Tell us a little bit about some of those controls. Let's double click. You mentioned the latest version of the Kmart card industry data security standard PCI DSS goes into effect January 1, 2025. What are some of the controls that customers are going to need to be aware of? They're going to have to start putting in place. Yes. So first of all they'll have to make sure that credit cards are never exposed even in memory at no point should the credit cards be in the clear. The other part is that no point are the keys that are used to encrypt those credit card numbers are to be in the clear. So it requires sophisticated key management. Key management is a very well understood but still complex task because of the fact that there are multiple levels of keys involved. AWS provides the KMS capabilities as well as what is known as a hardware security module to back it up. So you have a data encryption key and then you have a key encryption key. The regulations require that the data encryption keys are never stored in the clear. So you need to have the key encryption key that encrypts the data encryption key to make sure that it's on the clear. The second requirement is that these keys are to be rotated. You cannot have the same key forever. And again, because of the fact that what if the key encryption key itself is compromised? Now you have the keys to the kingdom. So you want to rotate the key encryption key that in turn goes and re-encrypts the data encryption key. This envelope level layer encryption is what it's known as has a huge advantage because you don't have to re-encrypt your data. This complex capability is something that would require app dev resources to go and develop. What baffle does is actually completely absolves them of this capability. We actually do it in our product. That's our capability. And we make sure that there's no app dev burden at all. They just change the connection string, which means that they write to our abstraction layer before they move data to the cloud. And we take care of all of these complex transformations as well as key management. Let's talk a little bit about key management in particular. Bring your own key, BYLK. What regulations does bring your own key allow customers to meet? Specifically, GDPR article 17 actually calls out the ability to be forgotten, right? They call it the rights to erasure. So let's say you have data. You're erasing your data with somebody who has collected it. You have the right to tell them to erase your data. So the best way to actually implement something like this is to assign a key to a tenant that has data in these databases that are stored somewhere outside of your control. And then when you say you want to get erased, that key is revoked. And at that point, the data is opaque. CCPA and its successor, CPRA, have similar regulations as well, which require data collectors to disclose how much data they have and on request be able to delete it. So that's a specific example of what these regulations require and the controls that map into it. At Baffle, we provide our customers with a whole list of regulations and controls and how they can meet them by adopting each of those controls. Got it. Let's talk about private data now. We talk about that a lot. How do you protect private data when it's used with things like generative AI? Obviously a hot topic there. What's Baffle's role there? So this is a very, very challenging technical problem that the industry has come upon. As all of us know, generative AI is the most exciting thing that has happened in a long time. So we're all very excited about the outcomes that we get. We have to know that every single outcome that we are seeing with something like a chat GPT has benefited from all the data that it was able to ingest over the years. Now, when it comes to enterprises, they don't want anything to do with it. So they're using the big hammer approach by saying no more, no chat GPT access. Well, that only goes so far because that's only protecting against any public data that's out there and nobody wants to send public data over there. So what enterprises are starting to adopt is a blended model where you have, or lack of a better term, something called private GPT where you can have your own model that is in your own environment, completely controlled. And the cloud service providers are all providing infrastructure to do that. And then you can use those models to train on data that is sensitive. Baffle's role is that we have figured out how you can run analytics on data that is not the original data. The data is tokenized and now you can train your model on that data to make sure that you can still extract value out of it without actually exposing the data itself. And then what happens is the next step of this, once you've done the private GPT part, you still need to benefit from everything that public GPT does. So there's another layer of intelligence that comes in where you have the query that is now optimized and engineered to make sure that you can benefit from the private GPT outcome as well as the public GPT outcome to come up with the best result from a business outcome perspective that can help these data scientists solve these very difficult data problems. And it's all about those business outcomes. Let's double click on Gen AI for a second and data-centric protection. We talked about data-centric protection, how it's challenging to implement. Does Gen AI's utility get impacted there or isn't enhanced? It absolutely gets impacted if it's not done right because one of the things about Gen AI that is really scary is it lies and it lies with authority. So you want to make sure that you protect the data as it is ingested. So Baffle plays a role in two different aspects of this pipeline. It plays a role as the data is ingested. Like I mentioned before, we've figured out how to tokenize data in-flight as it is ingested into these cloud environments. And then the data is used to train the model within that particular environment. And then when it comes to the query, the query can actually be the source of leakage where if you allow uncontrolled query, you can pretty much get any secret to be revealed. So what we do is on the consumption side, we have another control which is where we can make sure that no sensitive data is leaked. Finally, the most important aspect of this is we ensure with our privacy enhanced computation techniques to make sure that the data that is being ingested is analyzed accurately. So that's where we have a way of making sure that the data is processed without actually transforming it in any way. We're not adding any random noise to it or anything like that. It is the original data except that when it's being processed, it is not revealed. So those are the three steps, ingestion, consumption and actual processing. And at all times, we make sure that we enforce data-centric protection with data-centric policies to make sure that the sensitive data is never stored or processed in its original form. Got it. So important for customers across industries, across regions. Last question for you, Amish, as the cybersecurity landscape changes daily, you talked about breaches and hackers getting in, it's, nobody wants to be the next headline, but as that landscape changes, what are some of the things that we can look for baffle to help customers combat in terms of cybersecurity threats and challenges? Well, what we like to say is it's time to change the model, right? We're always looking at security from the outside in. We're always looking for things that are happening and when bad things happen, we want to alert somebody. What we want to do is to turn that model on its head and build security into the data pipeline itself so that the data is never exposed when it's analyzed. So when bad things happen, that data is always protected. When it's leaked, when it's stolen, you're only losing encrypted or tokenized data. So that's where we see the next level of controls coming in. That's why we like to call it data-centric protection and the industry is starting to wake up to that. We're seeing a lot of awareness among the cloud service providers. They always evangelize the fact that the shared responsibility model is very clear about who has a responsibility for the data itself and now they're providing controls. They're providing ability for the data owners to use tools like baffles in the cloud so that they can always maintain control of their data on infrastructure that they don't control. That's a great point. Maintaining control of the data on infrastructure that they don't control. Where can organizations and interested prospects go amish to get their hands on baffle a test drive or anything like that? Absolutely. Just go to AWS Marketplace and search for baffle. We have multiple listings depending on your environment but it's Postgres databases but it's a Redshift data warehouse. We have built an integration with data migration service from Amazon as well as key management services. So it's all out of the box. There is a 30-day free trial. We are welcome to try that out and then we're welcome to contact us as well. There is a way to get to us to get to our documentation. And of course, AWS sales people as well as solution architects are very well-worsed. We have authored multiple blogs with them and they would be very happy to help you migrate securely to the cloud and continue to maintain utility of that data so that you are not losing anything when you are adopting controls like encryption and tokenization. Right, not losing control but being able to really mine that data for those rich insights to help organizations make really data-driven decisions based on those insights. Amish, we appreciate you coming back on theCUBE sharing with us what Baffle is doing from a data-centric protection perspective what you're enabling customers to do the challenges you're helping them erase and where prospects can go to get their hands on it. We appreciate you taking the time today. Well, thank you for the opportunity, Lisa. It was a very enjoyable discussion. Likewise, my pleasure. We want to thank you for watching theCUBE and reminding you can find all of our on-demand content right here on theCUBE.net editorial content on siliconangle.com. We want to thanks you again for watching. We're watching theCUBE, the leader at Hypertech Event Coverage.


Most people don't get the art because most people are not up there in the mazlals pyramid The final step on the pyramid is crypto punks and board apes. All right. Let me just put this in here NFTs so first they said it's an advancement in technology that will fundamentally change the way we interact as a society Now it's JPEGs of monkeys with heads. I mean Yeah, I own one, but I don't take it too seriously. No, no, they will hold the value But it will bump. No, I do hold these they say that this year is the year crypto will find adoption They say that every year, but this year is different. So actually a smart contract You can do way more than just mint NFTs custom rules touring complete. Not that we do ERC 721 Yes, but we actually use ERC 1155 one Ethereum it's different on Solana everyone makes their own rules now technology innovation much more open than the traditional finance system Millions of different APIs you can bypass legal restrictions bypass securities law or directly go to the creator still kind of legal though I don't really see the art in Screen-shutting a tweet, but I'm also not a crypto millionaire. So what do I know? We did issue a few collections You know just to learn more about it multi-chain not that we care But some people bought in not that we care we generated an entire collection And it looks just like any other not that we care now. It's our main business model Before that we were a sauce fixing dockers. We just introduced the new DeFi protocol. Here's our rainbow paper dogecoin Yeah, I hold a bit just to diversify the portfolio Nope off my humor. Well, many people don't know is that there are different chains out there polka dog Well, I gone eos colana Solana polka dog Roxana or Donna. They're literally spawning while I'm talking No, seriously, I Have a script running foundation. What are you talented? We could spend our collective time building real-world use cases on the blockchain democratizing finance giving the less privileged access using it to track information or we could just trade JPEGs of monkeys board monkeys with heads I mean, I do own one philosophy is about what should be happening economics is about what is happening NFTs is about what shouldn't be happening. Yeah, it's good to redistribute wealth A lot of people making money in web 3 are reinvesting it back into the industry It's sort of an industry for itself make the rich richer and the artist So first you pay an artist to draw images, then you pay for a generation service Then you pay someone to write a smart contract, then you spend a thousand on deploying it. G. Way is high or G Way is quite low Let's maybe have a break and part of that is used to pay for services that burn energy Part of it is directly burned the cost of innovation Then you create a website that people can mint their NFTs on they pay you fees They pay the transaction cost then they listed on OpenSea. They pay OpenSea They pay transaction cost then somebody buys it and pays transaction cost Then they chill it on Reddit Twitter medium Twitter some sketchy internet blog a Twitter scam medium article a medium scan a Discord server for Chan and what can I say finally someone buys it and Pays transaction costs and all of this just to have monkeys on your phone. This one's mine Not that I care, but it's way more than that under the hood the economic implications the societal implications post scarcity I see it this way you could list an artwork at an auction pay people to certify its validity pay for safe transport pay for Maintenance pay for safe storage or you could just sell a picture of the NFT But that's of course not how it's used its main use monkeys with hats port monkeys with hats But hey, they have different colors all papers only green ETH will drop Bitcoin will drop I mean I do hold both hodl.

Rand settled on the term capitalism even though normally she held a term using ism to mean standard of value plus ism. Separating states and economics is in capital. I think something like freedom ism is more accurate. See but capital Inran really invented or not yeah invented, created. Only one ism that I can think of and that is objectivism. She didn't, egoism is not new, altruism is not new. She better and more clearly and more articulately defined them but she didn't change them. She didn't come up with a new term. She took most of the terminology with the exception of naming her philosophy. She took most of the terminology from the world out there and then clearly defined what was actually meant by the term being used. So she took egoism and properly defined it consistent what it actually represents. She took altruism and did the same thing and there's a perfectly good term out there that represents the right thing. Capitalism. Capitalism is a term designated to describe the kind of social, political, economic world that existed in the early, mid, late 19th century. It was popularized by Karl Marx describing what was going on around him particularly in England and what does he mean what was meant by capitalism meant property rights, freedom and the government staying out of it. And what Inran does to the term capitalism is she gives it a philosophical definition. She clarifies what it actually means, what the principle is that guided the British economy in the 19th century, the American economy. What was the principle even though it was never practiced consistently? What was it? It was a government whose sole responsibility was the protection of individual rights, primarily property rights in which all property is privately owned. That is what Inran did to an existing term. She took a term that referred to something specific in reality that was already in the culture. She didn't coin a new term. Again, the only completely new term as an ism I think that she coined is objectivism. All right, so I don't see a need for freedomism. Freedomism is very much similar to libertarianism, which is a term even divorced from the libertarian movement Inran didn't like. She didn't like freedomism. Part of the issue with freedom is it's a word that everybody likes. Everybody is for freedom, including the Marxists. Everybody likes freedom. So what is freedom ism? You now have to, we have to give an objective definition of the term freedom, so you're starting over again and it doesn't add anything. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist. All right, before we go on, reminder, please like the show. We've got 163 live listeners right now. 30 likes. That should be at least 100. I think at least 100 of you actually like the show.

Show on channel five. Oh, that's what it's TV. It's not even radio. What the I can't believe Thank you so much for tuning into the video guys This is actually a follow-on video from a debate that I did last year in January If you have not yet gone to watch that video, please click the link down below and then come back to this video Because it follows on perfectly What's going on everyone? Welcome to another video. So I'm excited. I'm actually really excited because Jeremy Vine is About to call well his producers are about to call and I'm about to go on the show again now This is a very big radio station I'm fairly sure because the last time I was on Jeremy Vine.  This one's just as big. I'll find out after but yeah They just emailed me today and it's really weird because I was just thinking about that interview I did with Jeremy Vine last time. It was one of the most controversial Interviews I've ever done. It was very polarizing in the community. Well, you didn't answer the question is it's a high welfare slaughter for a dog Okay, you know people were saying my conduct was aggressive. I've definitely got the message across in it though Are you the victim in this situation? They're about to call. I thought I would start filming the video now Just tell you how I'm feeling and they want to talk about the Sausage roll that Greg's are bringing out today So I think it it sort of hits the stores in over 950 stores in the UK today in time for the January the January is Really going off. I mean it's on course to hit its target of 300,000 sign-ups with about 10,000 people signing up a day. That's huge. It's absolutely huge. I mean Jeremy Vine He sort of poked a bit of fun at me last time saying like is that vegans do seem to be very angry Yeah, you'd be angry too of our dogs in the back of that truck. Why are you so angry about the whole thing? I don't know whether you're angry today or just generally about the whole thing I was saying I'm a little upset that you've got a ham sandwich on your table Well, I'm a bit upset to see your sandwich has a piece of a pig's body in there. So maybe we should ask um Jeremy today If he's got a ham sandwich on the table or if In the spirit of the January he has a sausage roll from Greg's we'll have to see we'll have to wait and see Okay, okay, they're cool and they're cool Hello Yeah, Joey Capstrong speaking Yes, can you hear me clearly? Yeah before the break we asked according to a survey how many vegans are there in the UK the answer is see three and a half million I don't believe we have any vegans today. You're a vegetarian But we are maybe we'll talk to one jolly, but first the bakery chain Greg's has today started selling what it calls a vegan friendly version of the sausage roll This follows news that McDonald's best known for its burgers is selling vegetarian happy meals for children These are all contributions to the barely pronounceable Veganery the campaign to go vegan in January Veganery and maybe for the rest of their lives if it goes well Greg sells one and a half million sausage rolls every week It's best-selling item and says it is now responding to consumer demand So what do our panellists think about this firstly Nihal? Do you think this is a good idea? Well, it's I'm just looking at the stats here and it's got less calories.  It's got slightly more salt, which makes you wonder how they make it taste as they do Do you remember back in the days if someone said they were a vegan? It was I might as well said they were a Jedi. I mean it was so kind of weird people would just think good Lord Have you heard Hugo's son? It's become vegan But now it's so mainstream I think Lewis Hamilton is a vegan David Hayes the box is a vegan the brilliant comedian Ramesh Ranganathan is a Is a vegan and as you saw the stats, you know millions of people are now becoming vegan I was there used to all be vegetarian vegetarian You don't eat meat and fish but even a vegetarian thing was seen as you know Certain people would say I was tree hugging and all that kind of stuff But it proves and also was there and perhaps you can tell me doctor that there was an idea Wasn't there back in the days that suddenly if you went to a vegetarian diet or vegan diet You wouldn't be getting the vitamins. Oh, absolutely get all that but that's It's not necessarily true, but if you are a vegan It is harder to get all the nutrients that you need and particularly for instance for young women who have heavy periods with Iron for older people. It might be more of an issue with calcium So if you are a vegan then with a bit of planning you can have a perfectly balanced. Okay a balanced diet in no parallel universe Includes a sausage roll We've got some sausage rolls so I think I should bring them to the audience do a little taste test here Okay, we won't give any of them to anyone who is vegetarian so vegan, so you're off the hook here storm But I've got two plates here one set is Meat and one set is vegan and I'm not saying which is which and what we'll do here Is we'll give one set of sausage rolls to this side of the audience, okay on the right so storm Could you distribute them? Yeah, could it everyone happy to eat take one? Take one tuck in another set of sausage rolls to this side of the audience, please And we just want to see if you can work out Exactly what's going on with the sausage rolls do pass them around So I think it's good that if it's consumer demand and people are worried about the welfare of animals And they feel more comfortable eating so that hasn't used an animal in I think that's fine But as part of a healthy diet, it's a treat only it's definitely not something okay, even even the V1 So are you enjoying it audience? Okay? And we don't at the moment know which is meat and which is vegan and I'm gonna just talk about that in a second I reveal all but meanwhile on the phone We've got the animal rights activist vegan campaign of Joey Carp strong Joey is there a problem here with too many people becoming vegan not a problem at all Jeremy And I'm glad you've got some vegan sausage rolls on the table and not a ham sandwich this time, but I'm very sorry happy at this I'm very happy with how many vegans there are in the UK at the moment for sure. What do you think of the vegan sausage roll? I think it's amazing I mean obviously there's a lot of cruelty in animal products and pigs a gas chamber and stab to death for the other Sausage rolls so an ethical choice Is always best is it Joey is it if I eat a sausage roll and meet one Is it wrong if I don't bear in mind what happened to the animal that created it? Is that the problem here? willful ignorance is kind of what drives these industries and it's what they rely on so I would be more conscious of what you're consuming and the animal that lost their life for that Sausage roll and just go for the vegan stuff. There's plenty of vegan options in the UK now It's absolutely blowing up over there. It's great. What's wrong with killing animals and eating them There's many things wrong with killing a sentient animal and eating them when we have alternatives It's you know an injustice to take someone's life from them It's causing the leading killer of human beings, which is heart disease and it's destroying the environment animal Animal agriculture is destroying the environment. So the science and evidence is very clear on that Thanks, Jerry. Have a good day. Peace to you mate. There we are. Jerry come strong He's referenced the ham sandwich last time his real surname. I'm guess no I in last time I interviewed him. I did have a ham sandwich in on the table and what you didn't ask him was is it healthy? Because is that I think I think you've answered that with your I mentioned what a vegan would say though. Yeah He's gone now. I should have asked him if it I don't think anyone could argue a sausage roll is healthy I don't think anyone would argue that even carb strong over there is a sausage roll. Is it created by? Mincing the meat and and and we wear because I've heard the idea that the meat is sort of sprayed off the animal with a jet And oh, yeah, it's it's not nice. Oh, we may be even don't want to this is what Joey says. We don't we can't bear to talk about it I appreciate the time that you gave me and thank you very much Bye-bye. Well, there we go. I mean that was really quick. I had about four sentences Squeezing what I could in those four sentences and I could have said more I could have said sign up to be January, which I'm a little bit upset a little bit that I didn't save sign up to be January But you know, we've got the message of the gas chambers and pigs being stabbed and they shouldn't be harmed and killed when we Have alternatives go for the vegan alternatives It's not it's quite a simple message isn't it? So I think to say in quite a simple way is always best, but anyways We'll see how that little interview when I mean it was only like three minutes But it's still got the message out and we'll see how many listeners, you know, maybe we can actually see It's just channel five the radio Let's see viewing figures. I think it was TV. What's it TV?  Is that tea was on TV? Oh my god one second here Let's just look at the email for a show on channel five. Oh That's it's TV It's not even radio. What the I can't believe It's a it's a chat and it's a show. Oh my god It's a TV show dude. Oh my god. I can't believe this ITN productions Look I Cannot believe that that was a TV show. I was just I'm tripping out It channel for it was a TV show guys Yeah, that that is it that is that is funny. I was just on TV How cool is that?


What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today. I want to cover the Infinite Forest, explain exactly what this place is and why I'm super excited to get playing it, but before we go any further people, do you want to win some epic loot? If so, simply drop a like on this video, leave a comment down below and join my Discord server linked within the video description. Okay, so the Infinite Forest, after watching the BungieReveal stream, it's one of the few things I'm seriously looking forward to seeing more of. So what exactly is the Infinite Forest? For those of you who don't know, I will explain. It's basically a gate or portal as such you enter upon Mercury. It's a reality engine designed by the Vex, which they use to stimulate all aspects of reality they can touch. That means the past, the future, the present, whatever. They are looking for something specific. It's stated that Osiris is also looking for that very same thing too. I'm guessing this is what he sees within this short reveal cinematic. So the water glass we saw within the first reveal trailer was a simulated reality and there are more common within the Curse of Osiris, past, present and futures we can't visit. How amazing does that sound? Now the Infinite Forest basically fills the core of Mercury. The Vex came in, hollowed it out and built this place. On screen now we can see the gate on Mercury which takes us to the Infinite Forest. Upon entering this gate, into the Infinite Forest, we see what's known as trees. These are basically portals to alternate realities. We can go through these portals and we can experience Mercury in the past when it was basically a rose budding planet. We can visit the future of Mercury which they call the Dark Future which contains no life, no light and the sun has gone dead. All it holds is an army of Vex, a place they call very hostile as you would expect. And we can also go to another version of the present. That just sounds so so epic to me. Basically getting to time travel and visit other realities. What secrets are hidden within there? This is what I like to see. Now there is more to this Infinite Forest than just a gateway to other realities. The place has its own massive unique landscape which basically has infinite ways you can experience it. So basically the same two missions will play out differently on a new version of this landscape and you'll be facing against a whole host of different Vex enemies, future, past and present. Hence what's called the Infinite Forest. This to be honest people are more looking forward to seeing more of than anything else including the raid or the raid activity or the raid layer. I am guessing there will be multiple missions in which we have to conquer where we enter the Infinite Forest and experience many different landscapes of the very same place. That just sounds epic to me. What a raid should be made of. The Infinite Forest is what in my opinion is Bungie's main push behind his DRC. The things that are possible here and the things they could incorporate are endless and in my opinion that is a good sign. I haven't seen many good signs from Bungie over the past few months going forward but this is definitely one of them. So yes people a quick short video on the Infinite Forest and what it is and the potential it could be. Let's hope it holds up to the expectation that surrounds it. On that note guys I am out. I have a few more videos to come after this stream of yours so stay tuned for those. Thanks for the epic support lately and hopefully I will see you on my next video.


What you're looking at is an exceptionally well-produced package in John Key. A friend of mine who's a stylist, works in the movie industry, said she doesn't trust anyone whose tie is never a millimetre wrong. And you have a look at John Key. His tie is never a millimetre away from perfectly positioned. And that tells you a lot about the man. You know, I'd respect him. Wow, that's a big thing to vote on.


Brought to you by Camp Chef, the way to cook outdoors. So I really like Asian flavors, whether it's with fish and game or domestic meats. Today I've got three Asian inspired recipes. And they may not be authentic Asian recipes, but they're my take using Asian flavors. First is a Korean bulgogi that I'm doing with venison. So I saw sesame oil, it's kind of sweet in there also, so it's got some brown sugar. It's a good marinade, especially if you have a stronger tasting animal, like perhaps a rangy antelope or sea ducks that require a little help, a little bit more marinade. This is venison hind quarter. You can tell how tender it is. So if your venison hind quarter is not tender like this, what happened? You probably overcooked it. I've got garlic, brown sugar. Brown sugar is going to obviously give it some sweetness. Sesame seeds you can add at the end or in the beginning, doesn't matter. Here's some crushed black pepper, green onions, pickled or fresh ginger, a little bit of sesame oil, and a little bit of sesame oil goes a long way. This is low sodium soy sauce. Leave this in here for at least six hours. We want this to have a lot of flavor, the hot skillet. This is only going to cook for a minute or two, just enough to get it lightly browned on the outside and still very, very tender. And now some greens, kale, spinach. I added greens and shiitake mushrooms, and I got the bulgogi out of the pan.


Biologically inspired materials have emerged as promising alternatives for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These materials are designed to mimic the properties of natural extracellular matrices, providing cells with a range of biochemical and biophysical cues. They also possess mechanical adaptability, microstructure connectivity, and inherent bioactivity, making them ideal for the development of living implants. Recent advancements in the fabrication of these materials include the use of novel techniques to create porous structures, as well as the incorporation of biological molecules and proteins to enhance their functionality. Furthermore, these materials have been used to successfully treat a variety of diseases and injuries, demonstrating their potential for clinical application. Despite these successes, there remain several challenges to be addressed before these materials can be widely adopted in clinical settings.

We express our sincere gratitude for an American soldier, General Funk, and his strength of character, firmness of purpose, and unwavering commitment. His command has been one of emotional intelligence, innovative leadership, and genuine care. Whereas his emotional intelligence has made us smarter professionals, his innovative leadership elevated Tredoc's recruitment, training, and education functions and capabilities. And as genuine care has left an indelible mark, may your peace, prosperity, and protection be with General Funk and Dr. Funk as they dawn the soldier for life jersey. We ask now your blessings upon General Britto as he once again assumes a sacred mantle of leadership.

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave our flag one The colors under which a military unit exists symbolize its very soul. The colors record the unit's achievements and have been used by armies for centuries. In 17th century Europe, their different colored flags identified regiments. The colors led the regiment into battle despite often heavy casualties suffered by the color bears. To capture the enemy's colors was the highest achievement the victors could claim. Today, the colors are passed to the new commander by the outgoing commander, symbolizing the changing of command. Since each individual soldier cannot be passed to the new commander, the unit's flag is used to represent the change and identify the new commander to each soldier under his charge. The command sergeant major is the guardian of the unit colors and represents continuity during the change of command. By authority of Army Regulation 600-20, the undersigned assumes command of the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, signed General Gary M. Britto, United States Army Commanding. Ladies and gentlemen, the Chief of Staff of the Army, General James C. McConville. Well, good morning and victory starts here and yes it does and our Army winning matters and that's why it is so important what happens here. You know every day is a great day to be in the United States Army because we serve with the world's greatest soldiers who are represented before us today. And today is a especially great day here at TRADOC because we recognize the achievements of this command and we celebrate the leadership of Paul and Betfunk and we welcome back Gary and Michelle Britto. But before I get started, I'd like to welcome our distinguished guests, our secretary, the Honorable Christine Warmouth. General Mark Kelly, I think from the joint team is here, thanks for joining us. General Drew Pappas, Force Comm Commander, Sergeant Major of the Army, Grinston, Miss Yvette Buzico, Mr. Michael Formica, Lieutenant General Butch Funk, Paul's Dad, sir, thank you for being here and General Kip Ward, sir, thank you for being here. And I think our classes, Miss Braswell and Mr. Flanagan are here, thank you and I think we have some goals to our families here and thank you also. Fellow general officers, commanders, command sergeant majors, DA civilians, senior warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, local civilian leaders, family and friends, thank you for being here for this extremely important event. I'd like to give a special welcome to the Funk and Britto family members who are here, many who have traveled from Texas to the great state of Massachusetts, little bias there, Florida, Georgia, and thank you all for making it here today and making this ceremony so special. You know, as we all know, the United States Army exists for one purpose and that is to protect the nation by being ready to fight and win the nation's war, wars as a member of the Joint Force. And we are living in very challenging times and for me, probably the potentially most dangerous in recent history. You know, take a look at what's going on in Russia, in Asia, threats from North Korea and Iran have not gone away and neither has violent extremism. And we're still down with COVID in upcoming natural disasters and on top of it, we're working through a very challenging recruiting environment. But these may be challenging dangerous times, but our entire army and especially TRADOC remains ready to meet these challenges so we remain the world's greatest fighting force. And what this command has done over the last few years under the leadership of General Paul Funk is truly remarkable. You know, during the COVID-19, and you know, right now we're here, no one's wearing masks, people are sitting together, but it wasn't too long ago where we had to work through a situation where we had to recruit virtually, we had to figure out how are we going to train in a very dangerous environment. And TRADOC never stopped. Paul and the TRADOC team adapted and they found innovative solutions so we could continue to recruit and train our soldiers because the dangerous situations in our world had not gone away. And under Paul's steady leadership, you know, TRADOC figured out how to modify our procedures so we could safely continue basic training and institutional education across the army. And all the while, TRADOC continued to evolve by doctrine, our education, our leader development, and our training. You know, our army, as all you know, is undergoing the greatest transformation in over 40 years as we transition from two decades of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism to refocus on large-scale combat operations like we're seeing in Ukraine today. And TRADOC has enabled us to move forward in that transformation under the outstanding leadership of General Paul Funk. And the talented civilians and soldiers across TRADOC, the five subordinate commands and the ten senators of excellence that are standing before you today. And when Paul took over TRADOC, the multi-domain operations was a concept. And under his leadership in your hard work, its evolution is becoming doctrine and we'll publish that doctrine in October with Lessons Learned from Ukraine. He operationalized the Army People Strategy, focusing on building positive command climates, reducing harmful behaviors and driving change across our army. Changed the way, you all changed the way we look at fitness under the Holistic Health and Fitness Program, which is allowing our soldiers to serve without getting the injuries they have in the past. And you all and he have championed countless initiatives to include revamping basic combat training, modernizing the captain's career course, and building the Army Combat Fitness Test. You've had the creation of our Project Athena Lead Development Tool to prepare army leaders for our Commander's Assessment Program, transforming the selection process of our most consequential leaders in our army, our battalion and brigade commanders and sergeant majors. And although we've faced some recruiting challenges, TRADOC has created the Future Soldier Preparatory Course at Fort Jackson, which is going to allow us to maintain standards and to invest in American youth and I believe will transform the way that we bring American youth into the Army. We will invest in them, we will not lower standards and we will get them to meet our standards. And so for me, TRADOC is the people command. For every one of us in uniform, this is where it starts and I said before this is where victory starts here. And that's why we have the world's greatest army because what you all do to bring in great soldiers and to train those soldiers so they can be part of the Army team. And the army would not be what it is without the hard work of all the soldiers and civilians that are here. When you think about it, TRADOC trains and educates over half million soldiers, non-commissioned officers, warrant officers and officers every single year. They recruit and assess tens of thousands of soldiers every year. They train every single sergeant to be the backbone of our army. They train over 20,000 cadets in ROTC every single year. And when those cadets become officers, TRADOC trains them to assume their first mantle of leadership. Also, other servicemen and women across the Joint Force along with our allies and partners go through the training that TRADOC conducts.  So again, thank you all for what you do every single day. You know, we recruit soldiers but we retain families. So I'd like to thank all the families of TRADOC for their support and commitment to our soldiers in our army. And Paul, while we'll celebrate your retirement in a ceremony tomorrow, I would like to say a few words here. I'd like to thank your family, especially your parents, Lieutenant General Retired Butch Funk, the first. And Mom, Danny, for your service and your commitment and for inspiring Paul to serve this country so well. You ought to be real proud of the young man that you all have raised. And Paul, thank you and Beth for over 38 years of distinguished service to the nation and what you have done for our people here. You are leaving behind a legacy of service, a legacy of taking care of people, and I can't leave out the legacy of Funk's fundamentals, all 40 of them. You are the leader of our army needed, a leader who understood that you don't have to choose between taking care of people and keeping our army strong and ready to protect the nation and its allies. We wish you and Beth good luck and Godspeed on your well-deserved next rendezvous with Destiny.  He has all the qualities we are looking for in our leaders today. The competence, the commitment, the character and the utmost care for people. I have complete trust and confidence that Treydoch is in good hands with him and Michelle. He is the right person at the right time to lead this organization. And I know he will continue to lead our army's transformation and continue to take care of our people. And you know in our army it's about people first, winning does matter and that's why victory starts here and that's how we remain army strong. Thank you and God bless each and every one of you. Ladies and gentlemen, General Paul E. Funk II. Well good morning everybody. You couldn't ask for a greater day and Grace, I gotta tell you the flyover was a little early. But I appreciate you backing it up with the geese. Thank you. That's why we're a joint base by Golly. So when I first got here at the Treydoch I didn't have to put these glasses on. Now I do. So good morning everyone to the distinguished guests, family, friends and soldiers and civilians of the Treydoch team. Welcome. My name is Funk and I'm an American soldier. Secretary Wormwood, General McCombill and Maria, Sergeant Major Grinsen and all of my four-star friends. Thank you for being here today. Special shout out to our family for traveling once again. As part of another transition, you truly honor us with our presence. And I think my Uncle Bill may get the record for coming all the way from Roundup, Montana. So how about a big round of applause to my incredible team that I recognized last week. You know how important you are to me and how much our service together matters. It would be too hard to recognize everyone but I'd like to give a special shout out to the distinguished alumni from Montana State University, Brian and Tom and also to my good friend John Miller and his wife Polly and Mike Tars as well. But John Miller is my longest serving teammate as we played high school football and baseball together. Thanks for being here today. What a great day. What a great day it is to leave the helm of the United States Army's training and doctrine command in the incredibly capable hands of our good friends Gary and Michelle Britton. I know ceremonies like this are difficult to plan and execute.  And there are far too many world-class leaders for me to mention. But I can't go any further without mentioning Command Sergeant Major Dan Hendricks and his wife Christina. Their focus on people first has been extraordinary and we are a better organization because of it. And to Christina, thanks for being a great friend to my back. When I assume Command three years ago we the Centers of Excellence Commanders and Command Sergeant Majors, the Assessions Command Team, Recruiting and Connect Command, the Center of Military History, the Soldier for Life Program, and Fort Jackson, which is now the gateway to the Army. Took a hard look at how to structure TRADOC's efforts to drive change. And from that we developed the TRADOC campaign plan. Our five lines of effort acquire people, improve, build and reform are not complete lists of everything we do, but rather a framework for what TRADOC does. Many people are unaware of all that TRADOC does for our nation, so today I want to brag on these men and women right here. Our acquire line of effort is our main priority. It's no secret that the current Assessions environment is tough, but we, just like the rest of the nation, are in a competition for talent. Our acquisitions enterprise led by the indomitable Lieutenant General Maria Gervais is all about preserving the all-volunteer force and giving America's youth the opportunity to serve. And we're doing everything to expand that opportunity through the future Soldier Prep course. And I was at Fort Jackson just a few weeks ago and I saw the future Soldier Prep course in action. I looked in the eyes of those young men and women attending and it was clear that they knew that they had to meet our standards and were willing to work hard to do so. We want young men and women who will go the extra mile. We want young men and women who are resilient and know how to overcome challenges. I truly believe that the future Soldier Prep course is creating opportunity and it's going to change how we recruit. To me, it's the essence of what TRADOC does. It gets young men and women opportunities and it changes lives. Our second line of effort is the very foundation of the campaign plan. After all, according to Fundamental Number 25, the Army is a people business. People first is all about training and that's exactly what the Army Holistic Health and Fitness Program is all about. It's more than just the Army Combat Fitness Test. It's revolutionizing how we look at fitness. We need to be able to fight outnumbered and win and that's why we exist. And exactly why we've invested tremendous time and resources into the Army's Holistic Health and Fitness Program. We focus on changing culture, focus on our values and holding each other accountable, treating each other with dignity and respect. We are America's Army. Our strength is our diversity. And we've used our monthly leader to professional development program to have some incredible conversations. We're leading the Army on identifying ways to break down barriers to continued service for all soldiers to our women's initiatives team. And we had the privilege of hosting the Warrior Games on behalf of the Department of Defense. The Warrior Games were nothing short of extraordinary. A true world-class event to celebrate the recovery journeys of our incredible warrior athletes and their families. Also I'd be remiss not to highlight our tremendous civilian employees led by Mike Formica. We've made incredible strides in our civilian accession efforts. Our intern program is phenomenal. It's injected enthusiasm, youth, vigor throughout the enterprise. And it highlights that serving in uniform is not the only path to serve. Our third line is to build, focus on TREDX role, leading the Dottlem integration to build the Army of 2030. CAC, led by Lieutenant General Ted Martin is doing a magnificent job. Doctrine is our foundation and right now FM 3.0 multi-domain operations is setting the way we'll fight for the next generation. And our G2 team, whose efforts have led across the threat doctrine are nothing short of world-class and prove that the G2 work is used across the Army. Fourth line is to improve and is so important to our organization. The COVID pandemic gave us an opportunity to improve our training, leader development and education programs at an incredible speed. We changed over 1200 courses in just two and a half years. I'm immensely proud that TREDX only paused for two weeks to set the medical conditions and then got right back to training during COVID. In fact, organizations from across the world came to learn how to combat the pandemic and continue to grow and develop. Remember, fundamental 15. No idea, a good idea is only great when it is shared. Our fifth line of effort is reform and it's all about TREDX getting better at producing the best soldiers in the world. We needed to move our processes from the industrial age to the information age. And that's exactly what we're doing. I'm really excited about how we changed basic combat training. Transitions are the biggest point of friction in any organization. So we had to adapt the way we bring young men and women into our team. The first hundred yards, thunder run, into the breach. These are NCO-led and NCO resources, exercises that begin to build the journey of trust. And these things are making people excited about the team they're joining. And as a result, the young men and women we're putting out on the field are much better prepared to do their soldier tasks. Since the initiatives I mentioned are just a few of the hundreds of amazing things this organization has accomplished. If I had to summarize our impact over the last three years, it would be how TREDX is driving positive change for our people. We learned, we grew, we adapted and we did it together. It's been the honor of my life to wear the cloth of our great nation for more than 38 years. And as I close out my career, there are many things I'm proud of. But none more than serving in the 17th commanding general of the United States Army's training and doctrine command. The most important thing I am leaving here is that I'm leaving here with that beautiful lady in the blue dress for 38 years. By my side, out front and leading our teams. Honey, you're amazing and I love you to death. Can't wait for the next chapter. The funks are so grateful to everyone for grabbing an oar and rowing. So from us to you. Thank you. Thanks for changing lives. Thanks for being part of something bigger than yourself and taking on these tasks. My family and I recognize just how amazingly talented you all are. And we'd love being on our team. Gary and Michelle, Beth and I are proud to hand over this world class team that is ready to continue driving change. And we can't wait to see where you lead them. As I said when I started, my name is Funk and I'm an American soldier and victory starts right here. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, the commanding general, United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, General Gary M. Britto. General Funk is my first day. I'm already wearing glasses. So good morning everybody, everyone to the distinguished guest mentioned in the opening remarks, families and friends. And so wrong speech. Shouldn't have thought that way. First page anyway. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, fellow general officers. Thank you for attending today. Secretary Warmeth and Chief again. Thank you for your trust and confidence. And I am extremely humbled and honored to serve our army as the 18th commanding general of the Training and Doctrine Command, Tredoc. And joining a great team, a great team of soldiers and civilians. Thank you, General Funk and Dr. Funk, Paul and Beth, for two things. One, for your distinguished and outstanding leadership, sir. Two, for your unwavering support to the soldiers, civilians and families of Tredoc and our army. Your impactful and enduring contributions to this fight, and as you mentioned, for over 38-plus years of dedicated service to our great nation. And I thank you for that as do the soldiers and civilians that these soldiers on the field represent. And Paul, I'm not sure which fundamental it is, but as you would say, thank you for leaving your jersey and a better place.  That's the firing battery, the band, these guide-on bearers, and Ron, who's saying that amazing rendition of the natural anthem. Let's take five seconds to give all of them a round of applause. Ron, I don't know if I wanted to re-enlist or go to church, but that was amazing. Well done. To my wife, Michelle, and sons, Matthew, and Patrick, in addition to what was mentioned earlier this morning at the promotion, I know that I am not on this journey alone, and I appreciate your support in being the epitome of the army family. And, boys, I mentioned your accomplishments earlier. I just can't express the pride I have and the love I have for you and your mom, and thank you for all that you do. Team trade-offs' efforts are essential and foundational to ensuring our army remains the most lethal fighting force in the world, now and into the future. And I, and I, being part of this team, promise you that we are committed to that very end. And as the Chief mentioned, our motto, victory starts here. It indeed has some meaning and meat behind it. And I would like to share just a few personal thoughts. Victory. Victory. It is the most essential thing that our army exists to do, to fight and win our nation's wars. We owe it to our country, we owe it to the American people, and to the soldiers, civilians, and families who fill its ranks. We must, and will, turn every challenge into an opportunity in order to prevail, because as the boss said, winning matters. Starts. Trade-off is where the army life begins, period. It is where we make and maintain contact with the communities we serve. Where we help those willing to serve find a path to be all they can be. It is where we transform civilians into soldiers. Where the warrior ethos is forged, and experts and leaders are built. It is where theory, big ideas, design and requirements are codified into real practice, doctrine, training that guides our army now into the future. We are the foundation. We are the start. Here, victory starts here. Here is all of us. It is in the halls and the closets of the Ten Centers of Excellence across this nation. It is in the 33 army schools, the hundreds of ROTC and JROTC programs. The 1400 plus recruiting stations, and represented by the commanders and command sergeant majors on the field today. More importantly, the here is the 40,000 soldiers and the 14,000 civilians that make our mission happen every day. So trade-off, you drive this engine. We are the here, and victory starts here. And team, I am honored and humbled and excited to lead this great command and be part of a great transformational team at a great transformational time in our army and our nation and our army's history. Thanks for the pleasure of your company this morning. People first, winning matters, army strong, and victory starts here. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the playing of the army song and remain standing for the departure of colors. Words to the army song are included in your program. We invite you to sing along. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's ceremony. Please feel free to meet General and Dr. Funk in the front of the event stand. The receiving line begins to the Funk's right. General Britto will host a reception inside the Fort Eustis Club for invited guests. Thank you for attending today's ceremony. Victory starts here.
