Faith, it gives us the confidence to question the past. If you know the worth of having a certain belief in a certain thing, then this can allow the certainty in which we wonder when promises are made and measures are bound. You can be sure that a man with faith will have the heart of a lion, the territorial beast that stalks its prey. Be very careful when disturbing a resting soldier of faith. There exactly are all the statues of much celebrated King Khufu, builder of the largest stone structure in the world, the mighty King Khufu that ordered the construction of the most perplexing monument on the entire planet, the greatest building ever constructed. Here it is. This tiny statuette is the only statue of the great Khufu, the king that they are telling us built the Great Pyramid despite no evidence existing to prove this. This wasn't even found at Giza where the Great Pyramid was built. It was found in 1903 by Flinders Petrie at Abadose, 336 miles away from Giza according to the most advanced measurements we have today.  It wasn't even found intact. The head was missing. They found it one month later and attached it to the throne. The strange ears as well have long been a talking point of the weirdness and the head which is somewhat too large with respect to the body is adorned with the red crown of the delta connected to the head. The face of the king is expressionless.  The statuette is identified as Khufu, king of the 4th dynasty by the ka name of the king inscribed on the right side of the throne. Petri immediately dated the statuette to the 4th dynasty on the basis of the name inscribed on the throne, convincing all subsequent archaeologists and art historians of the validity of his assertion and dismissing as superfluous any thoughts of comparison with 4th dynasty sculpture. There is a clear dating problem. We are still relying on scant references from foreign sources to Egypt to assert the dynasties. In fact it was the priest of the Talomis who compiled the list of the Egyptian kings. He was a Greek priest to the Egyptian pharaoh of the last dynasty. His sources from which his knowledge is taken are completely unknown yet this is what we are using as a foundation in our understanding of who the dynastic Egyptians were and when they ruled. It is completely and utterly flawed and anyone can see this based on these evidences. The search for items related to Khufu has drawn a blank. The association with the Great Pyramid is mind boggling. Egyptologists assert that the Khufu cartouche must have been placed where it is before the block was set at the Great Pyramid. Unfortunately a tirade of uncertainty surrounds these inscriptions that have been proved to carbon date to the 9th century AD, 4,500 years after Khufu reigned. Now we are not saying Khufu wasn't a king, of course he probably did exist but nothing really survives at all regarding his existence. This is a force fitting of history into a contextual grouping for popular belief. In fact Egyptology would have us believe that this is straight forward, that the fake cartouche and the tiny broken statue are enough evidence both of Khufu's existence and that he built the Great Pyramid because his mark is apparent in this chamber. Evacuated by gunpowder in 1837 one mark apparently read year 17 and this has been taken to mean that the pyramid had reached that level in the 17 year of the king's reign.  Of course they take this with the well-documented Khufu cartouche and say that well these blocks must have been placed here after the inscriptions were made because some of them are upside down. These are the only inscriptions inside the ancient monument of any kind whatsoever, the only evidence to attribute the pyramid to Khufu or at least a king called Khufu. Gaston Mospedal, the French Egyptologist says, Without the cartouche we should never have known to whom the Great Pyramid belonged. We still don't. According to the Pyramid Odyssey there is a problem with these inscriptions, one being that they are not the only inscriptions in the revealing chambers. There are much much more inscriptions that reads Khunam Khuf. On the rocks of Sinai, again we see these inscriptions and because of this it raises stubborn questions that will only be answered with further discovery of the ancient things. Khunam is an ancient Egyptian god who was the god of the Nile inundation from Eleventine where he guarded the first cataract. It is possible that the king Khufu was named after the Great Pyramid and not the other way around. The name Khunam Khuf cannot be a simple variant of the name Khufu because it suggests that the most important king was that of Khunam Khuf and that Khufu was a lesser king. This suggests to us that the builder of the Great Pyramid is the king Khunam Khuf. This is a variant of the name for the god Khunam. It was the god Khunam who built the masterpiece but again we are confronted by a problem. Because this is presented in history as mythology, this is the stuff they are telling us they simply dreamt of. The fact that exact inscriptions that exist in ancient form on the rocks of Sinai are incredibly similar and the only other example of these inscriptions existing next to each other. Could Richard Weiss have detailed his findings here at Sinai before marking these inscriptions inside the pyramid chamber with red paint? Just a thought. One puzzle after another, one person's understanding and the contradiction of the facts have put the Great Pyramid into the spotlight of researchers the world over. As of yet, nobody has concluded what it was. Nobody knows why it was built but the obvious answer is that it wasn't a tomb for Khufu.  It seems to tease us as if the answer is sitting in plain sight like we already know but can't reach the knowledge or understanding at this particular moment but we will know one day. That is all for today guys but we will be back tomorrow with more lost history from Egypt and around the world as we attempt to piece together the things we have all forgotten about. Comments below and as always, thank you for watching.

Alright Steven Spielberg, I see you. You added again. Let's go ahead and get into this review. My name is Brenny Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey everyone, thank you so much for tuning into my opinion slash review for Ready Player One and I want to let you all know that I really do appreciate it. So when it comes to Ready Player One, I just want to let you know if you didn't know already that this was one of my most anticipated films of 2018. As soon as I saw the trailer for this last shot, I was like, oh my gosh, I cannot freaking wait to see this. This seems right up my alley. Not only was I excited because it's being directed by Steven Spielberg, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, like I said, it's right up my alley. This thing looks like it has action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, easter eggs, all that good stuff. So I was really on board with this. And if you didn't know, now you will know that Ready Player One is based on a novel of the same name that came out in 2011. Very popular book. I did not read it. The author of that book was Eric Klein, who is also the co-writer of this film alongside Zach Penn. Zach Penn is known for writing a large number of comic book films that have graced the theaters in recent years. And I really do respect him as a writer as well. And just another cool thing. Ready Player One is a phrase from the days of the classical video games. I just thought that was cool when I was just looking up stuff. And I do remember that myself from classic old video games. And what the story is about is this in 2045 Columbus, Ohio, we have Wade Wilson, or I'm sorry, Wade, is it Wade Wilson or not Wade Watts, excuse me, played by Ty Sheridan, who was Cyclops in the X-Men Fox movies. He's obsessed with the Oasis as long as everybody else in the world. And what the Oasis is, is like basically the best virtual reality experience that you have ever encountered. You can go in and do whatever you want. You can be whatever you want without too many repercussions or anything like that. And so the creator of this Oasis, a character by the name of James Holiday, played by Mark Rylance, who was another great actor. He's the creator. He created these Easter eggs and these puzzles and these maps and clues and all these things that you have to follow. And if you can beat the game, if you can beat the Oasis, if you can find all his clues and things like that, not only do you get complete control of the Oasis and everything that it contains, but you also get half a trillion dollars or five hundred billion dollars. So you can imagine that people are going to be subscribing, signing up, doing all that good stuff, trying to get, you know, some of that cheddar, trying to get that control over like the world's greatest resource. And not only are good, innocent, fun-loving people are going to be after that, but a lot of evil people, corporate giants, are going to be going after it as well.    And so that's just the gist of the film, the plot of the film. But let's go ahead and get into some of the things that I liked as soon as this film started, I was smiling ear to ear. As soon as I heard the first ring, the first melody, the first little team of music, I was smiling ear to ear. I was on board looking at all the opening credits. It was just a beautiful soundtrack, a beautiful score that just really got me on board. Now, the score in this movie was done by Alan, excuse me, Alan Silvestri. Now, Steven Spielberg usually works with John Williams, but this is either the third or the fourth film that they were not able to work together on. The reason why is John Williams was busy working with Spielberg for the post that came out last year. And so that's just one of the reasons why he wasn't able to, you know, compose this film. But Alan Silvestri, another popular composer came through and he did hold down the reins. So first thing I noticed and first thing I like was the score. This is I don't know if I'll buy but it is something that I would say I would not mind listening again, listening to again, or jamming in my car. The next thing that I really did like about this movie was the world building and the oasis itself. And when you go actually before I talk about the world building and the oasis, something I noticed before that was just like, I'm a fan of long shots. The opening scene wasn't done in one take. But when we see Wade in his world narrating to the audience of, you know, what the stacks are, what the oasis is and things like that, there are a lot of long shots just showing Columbus, Ohio. And, you know, it's a looks a lot different than it is today. Just with these stacks just is this like an organized junkyard, you know, times two or something like that were just complexes and stacks, you know, just stacked on top of each other. Hence the name the stacks. But that sequence right there, I really like they played a pay a lot of attention to detail. So I got to give you credit there Steven Spielberg. But I just thought this was beautiful. And I was like, man, these are long, beautiful shots. And they seem like they were really difficult to take. So just kudos there. But like I was just saying the world building in the oasis itself, when we finally got into the oasis is just seeing what it was and hearing Todd Sheridan's character way to explain everything to us.  It just looked beautiful. In the real world that I'm living in right now as I'm recording this video, virtual reality is on the rise right now. But it does not peak my interest at all. I just, you know, when I see the commercials on TV with certain retailers, you know, advertising their virtual reality, hey, put on the goggles or the headset or whatever you can do this, you can do that. It just never appeased to me. It just really just, you know, in one ear out the other out of sight out of mind. But after seeing this movie, I kind of want to go into like one of these retail stores and I keep saying retail stores that I want to say their name.  But you know, that's just what the movie did to me. It turned something that I completely didn't care about at all to something that I'm actually actually interested in. So we're on a Saturday. If I'm just kind of killing time, I may go and check it out. The next thing that I really did like is this is the action adventure. Like I said, at the very beginning of this video, people are racing to get to this Easter egg. And so, you know, there's a lot of races and hunts and things like that. There is this race at the beginning of the movie to where everybody is just going gung ho. And we did get a Easter egg right there with the DeLorean from Back to the Future. And they're just so like so many like, I could talk for 30 minutes straight just on all the Easter eggs because we got Iron Giant, Tron, Akira, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future. I said Iron Giant. We got Chucky in this thing, the punk ass, Freddie Krueger. He was in here too.  But we know we have all that in here too. But this race that I was just talking about again, it's crazy just jumping and swinging all around. I mean, any obstacle that you can possibly imagine is thrown into this race. And it's just impossible. But I was eating it all up. I was just like, man, this is freaking amazing. I'm loving this. This is so detailed. I can't believe Steven Spielberg was able to do this. And when I said I can't believe he's able to do this because he and him said to himself that this is the third hardest film that he's ever directed in his whole filmography, his whole film career right behind Jaws, which came out, I think in 78, correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. And also Seven Private Ryan that came out in 1998. And so, you know, I could kind of see when you look into all these details and stuff. But the next thing that I really did like about all that on top of that is the avatars themselves because that's where we get to know Wade Watts a lot more. Todd Sheridan's character a lot more is his avatar. We get to know him more as an avatar in Oasis than his actually real self in the real world. And that could be really tricky in a big risk because with a movie feel with so much CGI, if you're going to have blatant CGI characters, it just has to work.  But that's just not the case. You got a lot of humanity from Wade's character there. And you got to see, I mean, everybody, you know, kind of imagine themselves and something else. I mean, for the most part, people love themselves, but at the same time, you know, we imagine us to, you know, be something else. And so it was really cool just to kind of see how the characters were in the Oasis and kind of how the real selves were in the real world, you know, but I was just watching like, man, we are getting a lot of these avatars and I'm not missing the real life people. So that just kind of goes to show that the writing was great that the dialogue same thing that the acting and all that was great. Now, let me get over to the dislikes and this may disappoint a lot of you because a lot of people were raving about this film. I haven't watched any other reviews. The only thing I've watched was to see what the rating was on Rotten Tomatoes. And I saw that after I viewed the film, but I haven't looked at anything else. But people were just saying, Hey, Bren, I can't wait for you to see this. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. Well, the first thing that I did not like about this movie was Wade Watts himself. Not in the oasis. I liked his avatar, but in the real world. The reason why it's not, well, you know, I know I did not like him one because there was just nothing to his character other than him narrating to us the whole time. I necessarily did not attach myself to his character or possibly relate to him at all. But I don't like his character either because he is a hopeless romantic, not necessarily anything wrong with that. But just to a degree, in my opinion, that's just completely unrealistic. This character Wade in this movie is falling in love with people after five minutes. You don't know them. You don't know anything about them. It just makes no sense to me. I don't understand how somebody can fall in love with somebody that you never even met that you don't know them, but you know of them. And that just seemed kind of really elementary to me. And because of his idiotic love, love affair, well, not love affair, but his somewhat infatuation, it kind of threw a dent in the plot to me for me and just kind of muddied up the water just a little bit. Because of him and him and his puppy love, his objective to win the Oasis was kind of tainted a little bit. And when the high stakes and things like that are on the line, we got to take things seriously. Key word, I just said high stakes and I will get back to that. Another thing that I did not like about this movie was the villain himself in this movie was extremely weak to me. He is a corporate giant and what is his name again? I, you know, I well, I don't think I was going to talk about him too much. But the villain in this movie, you know, it was just kind of like a cardboard villain to me other than just him being a corporate giant and him just wanting to take over the world and be in control of everything. There was just nothing else to him that really got me on board. Not that I'm always just trying to sympathize with villains and antagonists, but he was just kind of born to me. He was born in the real world. He was born in the Oasis too. His avatar was just kind of the same character as the real world, but just kind of had muscles with sparkly eyes and that's just something that I just wasn't really feeling. Now something real quick that I did like Simon Pegg was in this movie. I did like him a lot and I think the person that I'm talking about that I didn't like the villain, his name is Ben Mendelsohn S-O-H-N I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly, but I like the actor because he was in the Dark Knot Rises and a few other stuff. His name in the film is Sorento, but in this film he just wasn't, you know, he just wasn't doing it to me Also in this movie, like all the action was great, but there was not enough of it. I wanted more you know. I'm just saying you have all these characters with all these abilities.  So you have, there's just tons of abilities and powers and these things that you know Easter is can do and things like that. And I just wanted a little bit more of that. When we did get it on screen, I was eating it all up. I was loving it, but like I said, I just wanted a little bit more and like while I was not able to attach myself to Wade, I was Avatar towards the end of the film I wasn't able to attach myself to the Avatar that Wade was using either because you know he tried to rally the troops and just like hey everybody out there fighting for you know, we're gonna do this and we're gonna come together and we're gonna fight down and stop the bad guys. Woo yeah!  I mean, you know, he did that to try to rally the troops at the end. And then when everything came down to it, the final battle, it was just really anti-climatic for me. You know, I wanted it more. I wanted more of a pop. I wanted more of a bang and I just didn't get that. Instead of a bang, I got like a little poof. I don't want a poof. I want a bang.  No, I wouldn't say that. And just a few other fun facts that you will know were interesting to me. You know, Christopher Nolan, Robbers and Makis, Matthew Vaughan, Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright are directors in this film. Not excuse me, they're not directors in this film. They were considered to be directors in this film, but they ended up going with Steven Spielberg. Something else that just really didn't, you know, grind my, well, it did grind my gears was Steven Spielberg has directed like over 30 films. Like I said, everybody knows he's one of the most popular best filmmakers of all time. There's a lot of science fiction references and things like that that I heard were brought up in the book, but I did not see that in this movie. Where was he at?  They could have had the aliens from world to world. They could have had Indiana Jones in this. If he was in this, and I missed it, my bad, let me know in the comics, but there wasn't, I don't know why Steven Spielberg decided to remove all of his film references out of the movie, but that just could have been something a little icing on the cake, a little cherry on top. They could have made this much better, but while I ended this video with things that I did not like guys, I really did enjoy this movie a lot.  I don't know if I'll be buying it on 4K money, and that just goes to show how much I did like the film. If it was shot with IMAX cameras, which I didn't find in my research, I will buy them on 4K, but this is something that I definitely will be watching on, you know, home video. I am very interested in looking at all the behind the scenes, the commentary, feature effects, you know, gag reels, B-Rolls all that good stuff. It was a great film. It did not reach my expectations, but you know, I didn't walk away from this film either, or disappointed either. If I had to rate Ready Player 1 out of a 1 out of 10, I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Yes, a 7.5 out of 10. But guys, that is just my opinion for Ready Player 1. Have you seen it yet? I'm sure you have. And what did you think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Did I tell you one? Did I tell you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing. Please go ahead and subscribe to my channel so you can get all the content involved. You can also look me up on social media because it's right there at the bottom of the screen and also down in the description box below. But guys, I just want to thank you again for tuning in to my opinion slash review for Ready Player 1 and before you go, don't forget that my name is Brandon Keith Avery and that's just my opinion. Peace.


Live from New York City, it's theCUBE at Big Data NYC 2014. Brought to you by headline sponsor WAN Disco with support from EMC, MarkLogic and TerraData. Now, here is your host, Dave Vellante. Welcome back to Big Data NYC, everybody. We're live here. We've been going Thursday and Friday wall to wall. This is theCUBE, our flagship product. We like to go out to events. We extract the signal from the noise. Last night, we had our fifth year celebration at Hadoop World and it all started with a friend of ours, Mike Olson, who's here, also here with Ryan Peterson of EMC. Mike, of course, is with Cloudera, now Chief Strategy Officer. Mike, I think we were talking. I think about that day all the time. We flew in to Hadoop World Furrier, called me up and said, get your butt out here. I was in Dallas. He said, you're at that old world conference. Come and create the future. And you were one of our first day and really taught us a lot. And since then, it's been a wild ride. So thank you very much for letting us in back then. Well, look, you folks have been a great channel, a great way for us to talk to the market and a real participant in the ecosystem, including building a lot of data-driven products of your own. So not just talking about it, but actually playing a part in the evolution of the ecosystem. Well, it's true. Actually, CrowdChat was actually born inside of this Cloudera with some interns and Danny Ryan at Georgia Tech. And that thing's just exploding now. And as we were saying offline, John, sorry, he can't be here, but he's going crazy with CrowdChat. So, and back then there was, you know, under 1,000 people. Yeah, you know, the very first one we ever did was like 450, 500 folks. I think we got nearly double that next year up to around 900.  It was exciting, the energy in the room. What's remarkable is now a few years later just about 5,000 people, right? The city of New York has organized around it. There's NYC data week going on. We've got tremendous interest, participation, customers, partners, vendors, innovators. The momentum and the enthusiasm has absolutely continued. And I understand the average age of the attendee is starting to trend in my direction. And again, of course, Ryan, now EMC's all in. I mean, you didn't have a huge presence back then. You maybe had a couple of guys walking around and say, what's this Hadoop thing? And you and I talked in August, I guess, or September in VMworld, and you were really helping me understand VMC's angle on Hadoop. So you guys are all in to this space. So give us the update. I know you recently just talked to Aiden and Sam yesterday and they'd probably give you a little update on the EVP and ETD solutions. So ETD is our new division in emerging technologies. We brought Icelon, Viper, ECS, the new DSSD innovations that are coming out next year all under one roof, really excited and can't tell you how excited we are to get Mike and Tom or Clara working closely with us and absolutely just what a great start of the week this week.  We had Rich Napolitano on this morning. He's looking for his next big thing. And of course, where does he come? Hadoop world. So Mike, tell us from your perspective, what's changed and what stayed the same both in the industry and in Cloudera? You know, in the industry, I think what's changed is the scale, the reach, the maturity of the platforms and the market, right? We're seeing now this platform roll out in some really compelling use cases. Ryan and I were talking on the way over here about one company that is using big data technology to help return missing kids to their families, right? That's just remarkable. I was able on stage to talk about children's healthcare of Atlanta doing great work on delivering better care to babies, the neonatal intensive care unit. We get to talk about use cases like Digital Globe helping chase terrorists, kidnappers of the 270 schoolgirls in Nigeria through the jungles. That collection of use cases is transformative. Look, we're gonna make banking better, right? We're gonna help people optimize their customer relationships, but we're able to do stuff with data now because the technology's ubiquitous and the skills and the applications are more mature, we could never do before. So that's what's new. What's the same? Man, the pace of innovation is as breathtaking as ever, right? New stuff is happening all the time. The maturity of the market has made it much easier for enterprises to adopt the platform and to integrate it with the mission critical infrastructure they're already running, right? And that's what has driven us to expand our partnership reach and to form long-term relationships with great companies like EMC. Well, I'm glad you mentioned that about how you're having impacts on the world because of course, early days of Hadoop world, we'd interviewed Jeff Hammabocker and of course he was very famous for his quote about the best mind of my generation to try to get people to click on ads and of course he's gone off to Mount Sinai and trying to change the world yet again. I was at a conference last summer and somebody stood up in the audience and it was sort of the immense. And when is this technology ever gonna affect the society and it's happening, isn't it, Ryan? Absolutely, Mike just talked about this customer we have who's taken basically just call detail records and data off of telcos and transformed that content into something easily searchable, taking that information, giving it to law enforcement in the right controlled manner so law enforcement can track things down they need to track down much more efficiently quickly.  So you can't write these things I mean you couldn't come up with this before and we were talking about on the way over is, you know what? What's next? What have we not figured out? What information could we start using and discovering? And real question is what is the question to ask? We couldn't, I couldn't have predicted those use cases two years ago, right, that recently. So stop and think right now about what's going to be possible two years from now. It's not that the data's going to be new, some of it will be, but what's really going to be new is the vision and the use of these new platforms to chase problems we can never attack before. Well, and I talked about our panel last night with Peter Goldmacher, when I first met him he put forth the premise that big data practitioners are going to create more value than the supply side and with all due respect to vendor technologists we started thinking about that and people have put forth this notion of the digital fabric and the digital fabric is this idea that you've got industries have always been aligned on their own vertical stacks, whether it's retail or manufacturing or healthcare or financial services, production design, distribution, partnerships, sales, et cetera, very rigid within their own stacks and it seems to be with cloud and infrastructure, the service and social applications and now data, these horizontal transports cutting across industries and it seems like Goldmacher's theory is coming true but it's still hard to pick the winners. In other words, what organizations seem to be doing is riding on top of that digital fabric, Uber is a good example. I mean obviously Amazon, Google and Facebook are the other clear big ones but whether it's Uber or Fitbit or UPS, Coca-Cola, to the GE, to the degree that you're able to leverage that digital fabric seems to be where the new value chain is being created and not worrying about non-differentiated heavy lifting or all this geeky tech stuff, let the industry take care of that, we're going to innovate at the business model level. What do you think about that theory? So it's interesting because this is exactly why we got excited about this. We have a lot of data. I mean EMC's got more data on storage than anybody else and we're realizing that customers of ours in very large organizations and governments and not to say customer enough but say NASA and NIH were to get together and talk about climate weather data and combine that with healthcare information. What could you find out? What could you glean from that two data sets coming together? But in the olden days I call it now, just a few years ago, the discussion was all about taking data and moving it into the sedup architecture so you could run the information. We're trying to get all of that content migrated over WAN infrastructures and WAN infrastructures, even internet infrastructure so that you can use it and cross-correlate it, very difficult. What we've really done is innovated, I think the next step which is turning an HDFS into a protocol so that the content can be accessible to the Enterprise Data Hub. Making it so that the Enterprise Data Hub now has accessibility to content where it sits and where it lives, we think that combination's just killer. Inert data sitting in storage is taking up space. It's always been the case that using that data to make decisions to understand the world better is what matters, right? The question is, can you get enough of that? You call it data fabric. The industry likes to talk about a data lake, a great big repository where you can put everything. It's great to have that data but layering the processing and analytic capacity on top so that you can ask those questions allows you to build those applications. Data at scale actually gets to support more applications than smaller amounts of data. We can just ask larger questions because we can look at longer histories or deeper histories of data and the combination of good scale out storage, a tremendous way to build the fabric or build the lake that you're talking about with the analytic capabilities that clutter layers on top of EMC. I think it's going to enable a lot more of those applications. And you're starting to see certain firms cut across into, I mean, you look at what Google's doing, look at what Apple and healthcare and it seems to be data driven. It's almost like the data lake, that data transport allows you to do things that you never could have done before and there's a lot of data science behind that. Where are we with the whole data science skills gap? Is that still a barrier? Is it sort of confined to those guys that can attract people and they're going to make all the money? What's the skinny on that? We spend a lot of time skilling the industry up. It's absolutely critical for us that lots and lots of people know how to build on this platform. But you know, this is no different from 30 years ago when relational technology was brand new. We need not just skills on the market but software in the market that attacks these problems. On stage this year, I posited to the audience $100 billion worth of value on sort of existing traditional relational platforms, right? That's platform, software and applications and tools. Vastly more data than ever before, analyzed in these new ways, right? Let's go find out what the relationships are in a call graph. We ought to be able to drive dramatically more value. I think that the big data market is a $1 trillion market and that value is going to be realized not because we've got data scientists who can poke and prod but because they've rendered their skills into the applications, the software that ordinary people can use. Yeah, we talk a lot about the market. You know, the Pat question that we always talk about in the queue is will there be a red hat of a dupe and you guys are obviously thrown into that mix but I think I'll be met and said it best that no way there'll be a red hat of a dupe because the dupe is so much larger than Linux and so much more innovation and investment and players that the industry would never let one red hat emerge. There's just too much opportunity so it's kind of an interesting and fun thing. What is the relationship between EMC and Cloud Era? You guys are here together and what's new, what's different, what's the same? So starting Monday, we put out the official press release that we're working together and we've just completed certification with a Cloud Era manager with CDH with Icelon. Certainly we have plans for the future that will come out over time but we're looking forward to continuing to grow that relationship and see more and more innovations happen between the two companies. So people always say, well, big data, it's about open source, it's about cheap storage, it's about white box servers. Is that changing? Absolutely. Talk about that. The reality is that people are making decisions about where they need to store their data and the type of storage that they need for that kind of data. They're also in the exact same time talking about how they're gonna analyze and use that content. The problem is that today there's a happening within different divisions. Sometimes it's happening at that enterprise architecture layer. When that happens, they find themselves at the dichotomy of am I gonna build a storage infrastructure or am I gonna build a Hadoop architecture? And we're taking that decision point away. Now you can choose the storage that you need for your type of environment and use it with analytics. Great example of that is what we're innovating around this Viper platform at EMC. Thinking Viper is going to be a cloud-based architecture. It's really built for large-scale object repositories. And when you start looking at how large these are gonna start out at, the hundreds of petabytes, multiple users, all multi-tenancy. How do you take a hundred petabyte implementation and say we're gonna now build a 3, 400 petabyte Hadoop cluster and migrate all that content off of the object system so that we can start writing analytics against it? We really believe you need to be able to make that decision on what cloud architecture you need and then be able to touch all of that data with Hadoop and be able to pull that information in and start using it, but not necessarily have to pull it from where it sits. I have a question on, and it's kind of an infrastructure question, but you've seen storage scale out, you've seen compute scale out. The network is still this hierarchical mess. Is the network gonna flatten and scale out? What are your thoughts on that? The answer to that question, very briefly and very simply is absolutely. One of the reasons that we've got the strategic relationship that we've got with Intel is that we want to build this software platform along with the evolution in the underlying technology and take advantage of advances in memory, solid-state storage, on-disk storage, and network and compute in the ecosystem. And there's a lot of innovation happening in all those areas. I'll pile on what Ryan said. For those who want to run J-Bods attached to RaxFull, a white box hardware, we love you. Come on, that's how Hadoop was born. That's exactly what Google intended when it built its data center. But you know, as the market has matured, so has the platform and so have the companies using the platform. They want us to integrate with the infrastructure that they've chosen. And they've made those choices for good and important reasons, manageability, cost, scalability, skills. It's critical that we unlock the value in the data they've already got, right? Not just new stuff, but in the data that they've built out. And we want to fit in the data centers that they've built out. So I think the relationship with EMC is excellent for Cloudera and an excellent sign of a maturing market. More value is going to be captured and created. This is a deep strategic partnership for us, right? We're making a long-term bet on this relationship. When there's a petabyte of data stored in a system, that data has real gravity, right? It's going to be there for a long time. We're going to need to service that customer together for the long-term. And EMC's got a diverse array of storage products. Of course, I think there's plenty of room for further strategic integration, but Isilon was a no-brainer start. You know, I'll say we announced a great relationship on Monday, but we've been talking. We've been working together. We've had, it was probably nine or 12 months ago that we had our first really substantial meeting with the two of us. And I think we kicked off a partnership that's going to last a very long time. Well, I mean, the two worlds are coming together. I was sort of joking before the average age is coming toward my direction, but I think it's underscored by these types of relationships.  It's hardcore, traditional IT, can't ever go down. And what we're seeing in the Wikibon community is the DevOps crowd is coming and saying, okay, here's how you want to do this and do stuff.  We got standards. We got to worry about governance. We got about data integrity and data quality and things like that. And so we're starting to see some, the smarter companies collaborate on those things. And it's really your two worlds coming together. And we're starting to see the smarter vendors move in the right direction, right? I mean, Isilon was super simple for us to integrate because the Isilon team implemented the HDFS APIs. Yeah, we had to go be sure that everything worked. We had to integrate with our management framework. We had to test all of our products and fix a few bugs. But these are enterprise platform companies that naturally have decided to integrate in support of customer requirements. You brought the Intel relationship. I wonder if we could talk about that a little bit. I don't think we've talked since that. And obviously, eye-popping and everybody focuses on the numbers and so forth. I want to talk about the sort of the go forward plan and the outcomes here. So what are you actually doing with Intel? What are you getting? Is it distribution? Is it technology? A lot of that technology I think went to the open source community. Can you help us just give us the skinny on not the numbers, but the post numbers outcome? Well, people focus on the numbers. But in fact, our intent pre-numbers was a deep strategic relationship that allowed us to be the innovator. We want to build the very best product and deliver it with the most analytic and processing capabilities earliest in the market. Intel can look 10 years into the roadmap, the footprint, the capabilities of Silicon. The data center that we build a decade from now is not going to look like the data center that we build today. And we need to be sure that the software, the scale out infrastructure for big data analytics evolves along with the hardware. So we get to look at the Intel chip roadmap, understand what innovations are driving there, render them into code. Sure, we contributed to the open source community. Sure, the industry at large benefits, but we're first, and that matters to us. We want our enterprise customers to have the most time to monetize their data. And that means being the company that delivers that value earliest. Intel's decision to invest was flattering to us. They made a tremendous bet on Microsoft early. They invested seriously in Linux. They got super excited about virtualization. Big data is the largest infrastructure investment that Intel has ever made and flattering to us. But this was not for us a deal about the money. It's great to have these resources for strategic acquisition in case something terrible happens in the markets. But this was for us fundamentally about making the platform better and continuing to drive the state of the art. And I wonder if I could follow up just on a couple or two areas. One is security. And the other is just distribution globally.  You got to go overseas. It's very expensive. How has Intel affected both of those? Security on the chip as well as into Hadoop and then the distribution side of things. In the 5.2 release that we dropped just now, we've integrated Intel Silicon, numerical arithmetic capabilities to do very, very fast on-chip AESNI encryption. So now you can store your data encrypted in this big data platform on Isilon, on whatever sort of substrate you want with the strongest possible encryption. We've also delivered alongside good key management so you can do PCI compliant data management. You could personally identify all information in there and feel good about it. Not just there, but across the board. Intel's got in-memory architectures, on-chip networking architectures that'll be rolling out and we get to continue to integrate that stuff. But security is fundamental to the maturation of the market that we're talking about. In addition to that, beyond the security, beyond the product stuff, as you note, we want to be able to reach customers everywhere in the world. The largest vendor of all of this ecosystem in Asia was by a mile Intel. They had a presence in China and in India that was vastly larger than anyone else. Because we've combined forces, we get now to use those channels and in fact, we've got a very large operation of our own as a result of the Intel relationship in China in order to grow our business in that part of the world. So that's been tremendous for us. It's a terrific strategic partnership on product, on go to market, and on real strategic and innovation focus. So Ryan, I wonder if you could weigh in on the global angle.  That's changed. What Tucci did with the Federation was genius. You become much more strategic and a lot of customers that are saying, hey, we want some help with the big data, you guys have many, many answers. Not only through your partnerships, obviously you got a pivotal as part of the Federation. What are you seeing in terms of sort of global interest in your customer base around Hadoop? We live in this echo chamber sometimes, right? But I wonder if you could comment. Yeah, and to tie up on the Intel investments, I want to say we're really excited about the investments in Cloudera from Intel. Obviously our relationship with Intel has been, you know, extreme. Did Pat help out with that at all, too? We have absolutely a, obviously a deep relationship. And more, obviously. Deep relationship with Intel. I'm very excited about the combination thereof. Globalization, I mean, some of the conversations we were just talking about with some of these customers, big in Europe, big in Asia. We're really doing quite a lot in our Australia region, for example. We're seeing, you know, the requirement for big data is everywhere. In fact, I would say that even when you get into some of the larger populaces, you have a bigger problem to try and figure out. The ideal situation here is you start asking the bigger questions. You have bigger populations to deal with and a lot more data to mind through. And it doesn't really matter physically where that is. It could be all over Asia, all over Europe, and we're having successes in all those places. It seems like customers are still trying to figure it out, though.  We call it chasing the chips, the snakes wallowing the basketball, and then this other thing comes along, Hadoop, and they say, wow. Maybe we should start spending more money here, so they do a little experimentation. And then they start baselining their EDW. They're not throwing away by any means. In fact, it's critical to the Hadoop world. But they're saying, okay, how do I, you know, shift my investments? What are you seeing? How are customers sort of managing that balance? I think that's a great question. We see this all the time where people are spending a lot of money on EDWs. And a lot of, I think, where people are getting started with Hadoop is they're shifting some dollars from EDWs and figuring out ways to do some things a little more efficiently and still using their EDW for quite a lot of work. I've been doing things like ETL inside of Hadoop before, maybe lands inside of their EDW. I'm trying to kind of clean that process so it's done on cheaper hardware, on less expensive software solutions that's, and ultimately utilizing that structured platform for exactly what it really needs to be used for. Amir calls it the SLR smartphone. I don't know if that's his analogy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's the high-end camera and the general-purpose camera in your pocket. Look, our point of view, we've got a fantastic and very long-lived relationship with Oracle, for example. We just announced a great relationship with Teradata. Our platforms are deployed side by side in every single one of our large enterprise clients and in general, what we are doing is complimentary and gives customers much more power and much more analytic capability over their data. They're able to move the workload and the data to the right place. Data volumes are exploding. There is way more data being created today than ever before. We expect the opportunity across the board to grow, right? It's not about what am I going to turn off in order to have budget to turn this thing on, but how can I drive value? How can I extract profit from data that was previously unavailable to me so that I can invest in that value so that I'm willing to invest forward for additional revenue, for additional growth? And I think that the existing long-lived products are outstanding at the work that they do. The real opportunity here is, let's go build something about 10 times better together than was ever possible before. Well, and I think that's the last point is key. And having said that, the EDW did not live up to its promises of 360-degree view of the business, real time, footing data in the hands of business users, all those things that Hadoop promises can Hadoop live up to that promise, is my question. Look, we'll find out. I think that I could find you, a bunch of people would argue with the premise that EDWs had somehow failed. There are a lot of CFOs not in jail because of the visibility that they get into their businesses from those products. Hadoop is young, but we got to talk about some really interesting, socially meaningful applications that are running on it right now. Hey, by the way, detecting fraud and financial transaction flows and making sure that banks are complying with regulatory requirements and optimizing customer engagement by understanding customers better. That stuff's happened in a day. I'm excited to see what we're able to do with high performance analytics that were never possible before. Machine learning has leaped out of the research lab and into the enterprise where it's doing some amazing stuff. We're only getting started on that. There's hype, not all of it's gonna come true, but I bet we underestimate what we're able to do with data in the next 10 years right now. I do have to, I think I agree with you a little bit, though, there's a little bit of that missing component in Hadoop that now Hadoop adds the extra kind of piece. I think where Mike, I agree with this, is the relationships yesterday announced with us, InterData, what a great vision, though, of taking at EDW and expanding out the capabilities of it from being overly structured to now having a lot of capabilities outside of that environment. So even when he gets to images and video and things you can start doing with Hadoop against that information, now tying that back into that structured data you already have in your EDW is gonna provide extreme value to the organization. That maybe will answer some of the questions that people are concerned about. I think you're right, I don't think it's a zero sum game and there's no doubt, I used to work with a lot of CFOs and post Enron, it saved a lot of butts and it was actually a boon for the EDW business, thank God for Enron in some cases. And I do feel like our data shows that the two, the number one and number two tool sets in use and big data initiatives are the EDW and is number two, data integration tools, number one. Oh yeah. And Hadoop is there, probably large proportion to Hadoop but at the top, EDW and data integration tool. So I think you're right Ryan, it's that combination that is actually gonna fulfill that vision of 360 degree view and real timeness and hopefully putting, the hard part is really putting the information in the hand of business users. There's a gap right there now. That's the application opportunity that I'm talking about. I think you're right, if you're gonna put a Hadoop cluster next to your existing great big enterprise data warehouse, data integration has just doubled in importance to you. You gotta be able to get the bits to the place they need to be and to the user that needs to understand them. So plenty of work to do but a platform that lets you live up to your standards in the data center that you understand how to operate that you're able now to capture way more data in and analyze in new ways, that's giving businesses mature existing businesses a huge new tool for understanding their customers, their markets and what they need to do. Well gentlemen, congratulations on the renewed partnership, our best of luck and Mike in particular to you, thanks so much for giving me a Hadoop 101 way back five years ago, it really, it changed my life. Quick study brother, quick study. You understand this, good to see you again. Thanks very much, Ryan, thank you. All right, keep it right there everybody, we'll be back with our next guest. This is theCUBE, right back.


A conversation that I do have with my students that may not be that may not be comfortable for some is we do talk about the elephant in the room which is the pandemic and how it's not only infected my students but how it has you know affected me you know so so we need to be real and we need to be true and we need to talk about just conversations that you know sorry it may not feel comfortable but guess what you can actually integrate triggers into your classroom like if i if my students are reading something that i think will trigger them you know i will i will put a sign and no just letting them know that but does that mean that they don't read it does that mean that we stop them from educating themselves and understanding no you got to do the work think about anything that you've had in your life think about something that you've worked really really tough you know you really worked hard for how'd you get that sweat maybe some tears some hard work some people holding you up supporting you but you got it done things that are worth having don't come easy privilege is easy privilege is un-earned you didn't have to do anything and you get able-bodied privilege you get you know white privilege you get um you know religion in terms of religion you can be privileged in that category privilege is integrated throughout our system and basically white supremacy set up the system long before many of us were ever alive and what what did they decide who gets privilege and based on what based on class based on religion based on race based on ability based on gender and i can go on privilege is part of why we are here today and part of why we don't want to have these conversations so the next time you say to yourself well i just don't feel comfortable in engaging in this you need to think about the standpoint where are you coming from why what privilege do you have


And over 10,000 children in Benua State are to benefit from free diarrhea treatment sponsored by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in collaboration with TNX Group to mark the 70th birthday of the SGF Senator George Akume in his country home in Benua State. The SGF Senator George Akume, who was represented on the occasion by the Rector of Federal Polytechnic, one in a Dr. Thiova Dajo, appreciated the organization for the collaboration to eradicate diarrhea in the state. The people of Thaka is to embrace this facility and make good use of it. Immediately, they know that one of the reasons why some of this has affected the children because of lack of funds and now that they have it at their disposal, before them, there is a place to ensure that they actually utilize it. Group Managing Director of the Company, Dr. Immanuel Thiohenba Agwa, noted that the unwavering dedication of Senator George Akume to the well-being and prosperity of Benua State through his impactful initiative of addressing a critical health concern is a demonstration of his ability to set the country. I'm protecting the children against diarrhea, which is a disease that claims a lot of lives of children. It makes them vulnerable.  Executive Chairman, he said as the program we start, if there's any hindrance to support to carry the function successfully. We shall make sure they make the judicial use of it first. It will not be directed.


Hey everybody, Dr. O. This video we're going to talk about glycolysis. So like the name implies, glycolysis is the ripping or tearing part of a glucose. So glucose is C6H12O6, we're going to split the six carbon glucose into two three carbon pyruvate. So that's the beginning and that's the end. Other key things to note here, first of all, you will see I'll highlight some other areas as we go through, but there's a net gain of two Hp. We always talk about that. Other parts of your metabolism, we just talk about how many ATP are produced. Here we say there's a net gain of ATP, that's because what you see up around the screen, we have the energy consuming phase or the energy investment phase, then we have the energy payoff phase.  That's why you see that term net gain of two ATP. Other key things to note, where is this happening? This is happening in the cytoplasm. So in your, in my and your cells, you know, 95% of our ATP is produced in the mitochondria. This is the other 5%. So what occurs out in the cytoplasm, the guts of the cell, same in bacteria, they obviously don't even have mitochondria. So location, the other key thing to note is it's anaerobic, which means this process does not require oxygen. That means even if you're doing aerobic exercise, part of your metabolism is anaerobic. The reason that's so important, we can't generate a ton of energy, but the reason that's important is because we can produce some energy when oxygen is short. So for intense bursts of physical activity, where you're trying to run away from an animal or, you know, nowadays it'd be exercise, but the system was designed to keep us alive. Uh, and then, or if you were in a lower oxygen environment, you can still generate some energy. So that's why it's important. You can't get a lot of energy, but you can get energy when oxygen supplies are limited. And then hopefully oxygen levels return to normal very soon. And we'll talk about more of that later. So anaerobic process in the cytoplasm, those are the key things. Then we'll talk about the end result there being pyruvate. This just, you can see the pictures a little bit better. So here's the energy investment phase. It does require two ATP. And I'll show you an even more detail why one of those is needed. But the key, the reason we do these first steps is first of all, um, we take energy to make sure glucose can't sneak out of the cell. We need the glucose to stay inside the cell, uh, obviously, so it can be used. So that's what we're going to spend a little bit of energy to do that. And then also we have to spend the energy to actually split the, uh, glucose in half. So those are the two steps that would require ATP. That's why we spend a two ATP, but you'll see that we make four in the second half here. So in the end, we are, we are spending two ATP to make four. That's where that net gain of two ATP comes from. I would never ask you if I asked how many ATPs are produced, it's never going to be four. It's always that net gain of two. But not only are we making two ATP, those two dollars, those two ATP dollars we can spend right now, but as you can see at the top of the screen, we are also making two NADHs. Remember NADH, NAD is an electron carrier that picks up electrons and protons, hydrogen ions, and as it does so becomes NADH. Each of these NADHs will be worth three ATP. So we've only made two ATP, but if we can, if we have enough oxygen and we continue down this cycle, we will actually be able to generate six more ATP once those NADHs reach the electron transport system. All right. So here's all the individual steps. I'm not asking you to memorize their structures or anything. I just want to show you the one key one to me is the first one actually. And so an enzyme called hexokinase is able to turn glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. So kinases are enzymes that add phosphates. That's where the phosphate comes from. The reason it's so important is this is what traps glucose inside your cell. Now it's called glucose-6-phosphate and it's actually not glucose, which means that as soon as glucose enters the cells, it becomes something else. That's important because there's glucose in your blood. As long as there's more glucose in your blood than in your cells, then glucose will be driven into your cells where it can be used for fuel. So if this first step doesn't happen, then glucose can leak out of the cell or glucose may stop entering the cell and then you're not making energy. So that's why I just wanted to highlight, like, I get it. You look at this and think, why would you ever need to know this? But there's interesting things that happen or maybe something to do with a prescription drug or something all along these pathways. That's just one really clear example. Without that step, we'd clearly be in trouble. So the first five steps would be the energy investment steps there and then the second five are going to be where you would generate those 4ATP and that's why you get that net gain of 2ATP. I think that's plenty to know about glycolysis. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


Hello, my name is Debbie Fierst and I'll be your instructor for this course. I've been using Microsoft Word for many years and I've taught hundreds of students how to use the application. I look forward to teaching you as well. In this lesson, Getting Started with Word, we'll identify the components of the Word interface. We'll create our first Word document and we'll look at the help system. In this topic, we're going to identify the components of the Word interface. We'll look at the Word 2013 landing page. We'll start a Word document and look at the Word application window, including the ribbon, the backstage view, the clipboard tasks pane, the quick styles gallery. We'll also look at the print layout view, the last location bookmark, and the view tab. When you first launch Microsoft Word 2013, you're taken to what we call the landing page. In this perspective, you get the option to open recently used files or other documents. You also have the option to create a blank Microsoft Word document or go into some existing templates. You can also search online for templates if what you're looking for is not here in this window. Let's take a moment and define a Word document. Basically, a document is anything that you design inside of Microsoft Word. It could be a newsletter, a letter to a friend, a fax form, it could be some sort of documentation or report, and a Word document can contain all kinds of features, including text itself, ethics, tables, bulleted lists, charts, all kinds of objects can be embedded into a Word document. So it's a very powerful communication tool. Once you launch Microsoft Word and you're past the landing page, you're taken to the application window. The upper left-hand corner of the application window has a quick access tool bar with buttons that are frequently used, such as the save button, and you can customize this quick access tool bar. You also have the title bar that gives you the name or title of the current document that you're in. Notice this says I'm in document eight. In the upper right-hand corner, we have some window components for minimizing, maximizing and closing the application window. Then you have the ribbon, and the ribbon is where you make command choices by moving through tabbed pages. So what they've done is they've categorized all the most frequently used buttons and commands onto ribbons. Then you've got your document area, and this is where you do your work. This is where you type and insert your objects into your Microsoft Word document. As that document grows, you'll need to scroll, so you've got a bottom scroll bar and a side scroll bar. And then you've got your status bar.  You can zoom in and out of your document and switch views of your document. Let's focus on the ribbon for a moment. The ribbon is divided into tabs. The tabs are capitalized up here on the top. So for instance, there's a tab called Insert, and there's a tab called Page Layout. Now each of the tabs from Home all the way over here to View switch you between different ribbons or command groups. They've grouped these. So for instance, I'm on the Home tab right now, and notice I have a paragraph group of commands. I have a Styles group and an Editing group. So what they've done is they've basically categorized or grouped commands inside of each of these tabs. The only tab that functions a little differently is the File tab. That one will take you to an area we call the Backstage View rather than switching you to a different ribbon. By clicking on the File tab on your Windows application screen, you're taken to something called the Backstage View. The Backstage is where you do some basic file management, things like create a new document, print a document, save, close, and you can also go into this Backstage area to make some options modifications to how your Microsoft Word application works. Another component of Microsoft Word that you'll encounter is called the Task Pane. A Task Pane provides quick access to feature specific options and commands. It can be resized, moved, and kept open while working on a document. Now Task Panes can be opened either by using commands on the ribbon, such as dialog box launchers, or from within other Task Panes. Here you're seeing an example of one Task Pane called the Clipboard. Another component that you'll see inside of Microsoft Word is called a Gallery. A gallery is a collection of elements that belong to the same category, such as styles or effects. Now galleries display preset styles that you can select from and they offer a quick way to change the appearance of your document. You access galleries by selecting the down arrow that appears to the right of the ribbon element associated with the gallery. Here you're seeing the gallery for styles. A document view refers to a particular layout in which you view your document. This can be helpful when, for example, you'd like to see what your document would look like if it's printed, or as an outline, or as a web page. When you go into Word, the default document view is Print Layout, but you can choose different views by selecting the View tab on the ribbon. What you're looking at here is an example of the Print Layout view. What this does is it shows me my entire piece of paper so that I know what this document would look like if I were to print it right now. I can see the margins of my documents. I can see the layout of the document. And again, if I want to switch to other views, I can drop down the View Layout tab and modify my views. I can also do a little bit of view switching in the lower right hand corner of the document window. A nice little feature in Microsoft Word 2013 is called the Last Location Bookmark. Basically, if you've got a document that's rather lengthy, and when you left Word and that document last, you were maybe down on page two at a particular spot. What Word will do the next time you open that document is bring you right back to the same spot you were at before and welcome you back. This is called the Last Location Bookmark. It just saves you from having to go find your spot again. We've already talked about the fact that on the View tab, you have the capacity to change to different perspectives of your Word document, for instance, Web Layout versus Print Layout. But there are some other nice features on the View tab. One of them is the capacity to arrange multiple windows. If I have, for instance, two Microsoft Word documents up at the same time and I want to compare them side by side, Arrange All will arrange those so that I can see both documents at the same time. I can also choose to scroll them synchronously or asynchronously. In other words, I can choose as I scroll one, the other will scroll at the same time, or I can take that off. If I want to, I can also split one window into two and scroll the sides individually. This is just one document, so I'm essentially splitting the same document into just so that I can scroll to different parts and compare parts of the document that normally wouldn't be side by side. There are some really neat things under that window group. Another thing that you can do here in the View tab is zoom into your document. By default, you're typically at 100%, but you might want to zoom in and focus on an area or zoom out so that you can see more of your document. If you do have more than one document going at a time in Word, the Switch Windows drop-down list is a quick way to switch between the documents.


You thought we were all kidding when we said we were just getting started. We were just getting started, tell me what happened. I don't know what happened, feel me in on the nose. But I do know what happened out there is the most physical team won ever. No question, no. They just said we're not gonna go around this league about we don't do this, and we don't do that. The most physical team won that, okay? And they didn't turn the football over, and they just kept giving it to us. And we kept taking it from us, okay? Fellas, listen to me. First division, back-to-back division title since 1990. Yeah! Okay, and believe in this family. Okay, believe in it, man. Don't be selfish. Okay, put the team first. That's all that matters. Okay, be somebody that does whatever they can do to help the team. Okay, and I appreciate you guys, I appreciate what you do. Okay, I'm proud to be your coach. I tell you that every week. You ought to be proud to be on this football team. Okay, guys care about each other. Okay, we know how to win. We know how to win. We'll keep winning. We're just getting started. Okay, I'll see you on Wednesday. Hey! See you on Wednesday, man.


Whatever you do and seem to do in this world, the main thing is the purpose underneath, know thyself. The purpose of this world is simply to know thyself. This world has no other purpose except to know who you are. If you try to give it another purpose other than knowing who you really are, truly, as the creation of God, you will go off into distractions and layers upon layers upon layers upon layers of distractions. Jesus will send in the ones that are most helpful for you to find the truth. That is the only purpose that this world has. We are found each other just so we can make an acceleration to our remembrance of God. That's the only purpose we're together. That's the only game in town. That's the only game on the planet. That's the only game in the cosmos is remember the truth.
