I wrote it on divine providence because there's a lot of people that there's so many topics and themes out there but for me divine providence is kind of what encapsulates all of them when we learn how to trust and follow our intuition and the spirit and that's where all the problems disappear because the problem was really a problem of listening and following and once we listen and follow then it kind of brings us into an experience where we see that we have everything and we are whole and complete and innocent and there's nobody to blame or... there's no striving and struggling once you're in that state of acceptance so to me that's what divine providence is all about it's not so much just... it doesn't have a particular form what I teach people with divine providence is that everyone is living in divine providence because we're all being sustained by this beautiful spirit and it's only these ego overlays that teach us that we have to play these roles and we have to take on these earthly responsibilities and obligations and feel guilty and feel less fan and all that and I teach that everyone is really in divine providence but they don't know it they're being sustained by the love of God every moment, every day but they have a lot of training and conditioning where they believe that that either others are supporting them people, governments, neighbors, family or they believe that they personally are in charge of their life that they are the ones that are in control they're the ones driving the car and it's kind of a sense of autonomy and I can do it all on my own kind of thing and that's just as much of an ego defense as believing that other people are taking care of you so often in childhood we do feel very dependent when we seem to come and bring this world with us it's a dependency setup where we feel like we're dependent on parents and then we go through adolescence and work on more, getting more autonomy once you seem to become an autonomous, mature, functioning adult citizen you still have stresses and struggles of trying to carry the burden of being the one individual that's in charge of your life and not really understanding why you can't have it go so smooth why does it have to have so many pitfalls and so many temptations and struggles and that's just because again the ego is still and they're trying to steer the ship trying to run the show and we haven't fully just let ourself be like a leaf in the river just carried down the stream when we learn how to really trust and be carried then that's when it gets very easy for us so we want this to be practical so that's why all these gatherings I show up in willingness and then everyone talks from their heart from what's going on in their life and the things that they've found helpful and where they seem to have their stuck spots and like that and then we call upon the Holy Spirit to just bring clarity for all of us it's like everybody seems to have individual problems but really they aren't it's just the ego is the problem Speaking of driving a car there seems to be a lot of pain brought up collectively in the world in regard to the increased gas price can you talk about that from the perspective of the Holy Spirit? yeah it's like what seems to be when the world goes through economic downturns, recessions we were talking about that on the way here when Tom was driving that he was saying that when the US dollar goes down and the US economy goes down a lot of other economies are seemingly interdependent on that and there are so many fluctuations when I've just been traveling through Europe people were telling me that over a number of years Ireland has really been booming economically growing and growing and the housing growth and the industries and so forth but Tom was saying it's starting to peak off and come down a little bit now along with a lot of countries that are kind of going through that including the United States with the so-called subprime crisis and lending out all this money and not so ethical practices in lending and so it does you start to see that everything is like an undoing whereas the world seems to have its peaks and its valleys in terms of economic and social advancements and technological advancements that all of it is really just an opportunity to learn to listen in a deeper, clearer way and to become more God dependent more dependent on your intuition is the positive interpretation of all this because in the Bible the teaching was from Jesus except you become as little children you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and in A Course in Miracles he explains the meaning and says little children, infants are completely dependent on their parents and the adults in their lives for survival if they were just left out in the woods as an infant without any kind of care then they wouldn't survive so he was saying the meaning of except you become as little children you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven is that you need to likewise be as dependent as little infants are on their parents on you need to do that with the Holy Spirit or your intuitive inner voice you need to be so dependent on only that voice that you hear only that voice in order to enter the kingdom of heaven you can't rely on opinions and conclusions and judgments and past learning to get you there or some of you might remember the original Star Wars series where in one of the series Luke has to go back to what this giant thing construction called the Death Star and he's got to go inside of the Death Star and he's got to get to the core flying his spacecraft and he's got to make a direct hit in the middle of the Death Star in order to dismantle to shut down the Death Star and he's going in there and he thinks it's almost like an impossible mission but he's trying to do it and then he gets closer and closer he's like seeing how it's just feeling overwhelming and impossible for him to make this direct hit and then you hear the voice use the force Luke you know it's like that's again a Holy Spirit metaphor for you have to have guidance you're not going to wake up from this dream and you're not going to forgive without that still voice in your mind leading the way it doesn't matter how many workshops you've done how many books you've read how many places you've traveled in the end it comes down to intuition is going to have to take you into this be still and know that I am God down to the final conclusion of this dream and the Holy Spirit is there the Spirit is there to guide you in this journey you were driving the plane first place anyway yeah you were doing that like it was kind of like that when I was going on it was kind of like okay I got you where are we going next the eyes being covered is more I'm not going to use my impressions and past learning and that's what Luke has told you to use the force in other words his instrument panel is not going to do it all of his skills and abilities that he's learned in his training is not going to do it it's going to be kind of the voice of the Holy Spirit saying use the force let me guide you in from here to dismantle this Death Star and the ego is like the Death Star it's this belief in your mind that you're separate from God and it has to be seen as nothingness it has to be dismantled or shown that it's not real and true so to use that kind of movie metaphor we have to truly let go and follow guidance and in my life too I've seen that nothing I ever learned from this world it has never really brought me peace of mind so I needed a new purpose it wasn't that I had any regret about those 11 10 years in university and all the training it was that all those skills and abilities were still being used by the ego to make and maintain a personal identity a mask over my Christ self and then I needed a new purpose for all those skills and abilities so I had no regrets it wasn't like I felt like I wasted any time or wasted anything it was just all turned to a new purpose so in terms of the rising guest prices and everything it's all symbols and sometimes when things seem to be taken away from us or we can't play the game of bigger, better, faster and more it starts to break down a bit kind of like Alice in Wonderland where she just kind of goes tumbling down the rabbit hole I think that's part of what's happening and in human history and what seems to unfold in part of human history a lot of that the lesson of things seeming to fall apart and break down there's still forecast from the ascended masters that there will still be a lot of economic growth on the planet you know that's just kind of expands and contracts and that's going to continue on we're not going to reach a stage of like some people were saying in 2012 it will all be over anyway we'll all be back in heaven so we could just make it four more years this expansion and contractions is just way, way out on the surface of consciousness and for those that really decide to go much, much deeper beyond the surface they will find there's a lot the peace is there it's always been there regardless of how the forms shift and change I have no idea how a few years ago I thought it seems to be gas prices everything's more expensive I thought wonder how this is going to work with me traveling and living off donations and maybe I'll just be up in a tree house somewhere and just meditating or something but actually it's like the spirits like that's nothing wherever there's a strong call wherever you're guided to go it will always flow and that's the way that it's continued it really hasn't been there's been no sense where I've had to stop and go okay Jesus it's worked for 16 years but we've got rising gas prices we've got global warming and this and this and this and he's like oh please, please seeing this getting back to our theme it will appear to me that forgiveness is healing is there a record of that yeah there's an anonymous forgiveness so the best thing you could ask anybody or help anybody who is sick is to ask them to forgive whatever it is they're holding on you know and it's deep I mean I was in Switzerland very recently and I spoke all on Saturday spoke all on Sunday and this man but our theme David our theme is forgiveness and we really, really need to be practical we need to have a I need a process or I need some kind of direct thing and so I I talked a little more but it's you have to come deeper into this idea that forgiveness is not what we've thought it was that's the reason why the forgiveness hasn't worked in the sense of bringing a lasting state of peace of mind because the egos got in there and thought I can play the religion game I'll just make up a false sense of forgiveness and have people go after that thing and then when they don't get it they'll get all this disillusioned and feel despair and so forth but we have been trying to hold on like people would tell me for years they would say forgive David yes yes but never forget and I'd be like oh that sounds really sounds wicked sounds like creamy and nice forgive forgive for the soft tone but never forget you know with a finger and I'd be like mmm but no this is what's going on where we've forgotten love and now I say true forgiveness is we have to have a reverse amnesia we have to forget this world and remember the love instead of forgetting the love and remembering this world so if they're going to say to me forgive but never forget I'll just say forgive illusions and never forget the love of God don't use the never forget with grievances I'm implying that I mean I've heard historians tell me that's why we study the past so that we won't make the same mistake again that really has worked with the wars we had to sit through all those classes and study all this history of all these different things throughout history and conflicts and then here we are what's going on with parts of the world are rack in different places it's still the same old same old so we have to we have to actually come to a humble place and say well what we've tried before has not worked so we need to be open to something that's completely different and new and to me that's what I found in using A Course in Miracles I found a teaching that said forgive your brother for what he has not done at first you just look can you say what did I say what is that for what he has not done clearly he seems to have done this and this and that you know we have the memories nowadays with technology we have it recorded people can say I've got it on on tape it's not only my memory I've got it on video tape or DVD but it's like what he's saying the whole belief in linear time is part of the trick that we're not trying to forgive we're not trying to deny what seemed to happen but we're saying that maybe our perception our interpretation of what we think happened to us against our own will or against our choice maybe that was part of the trick and a mistake there's a movie that was done in Australia called Dark City where there's actually a scene in a major motion picture where the whole dark world is his false memories that have been mixed and matched kind of like a reincarnation compressed into one dark world where roles keep shifting around and there's one scene where the main character comes and he's in prison and he's behind glass and his wife comes and she feels bad because she's sure that she committed adultery that she's hurt her husband and his psychological problems are her fault and she's really sad she's got great remorse and he kind of leans forward and he says you didn't do it and she's like I didn't do it I had to just look at her face and he said to me he said no what if we never met before this moment and he's like getting this huge insight that the world of images has been a trick and that it's all been based on a false identity to make guilty that this whole world was made to perpetuate feelings of guilt and shame and hurt and sadness and what if this trick is actually just a trick and that we can see that we can meet in the moment for the first time without any sense of of the past like the power of now like all the ancient traditions have said learn to live in the moment what if the present moment offers us the release of every problem and difficulty we've ever had and Jesus is right when he says that the present moment is the closest approximation that this world offers to eternity that this is our real opportunity maybe he meant it when he said the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand that was a simple statement 2000 years ago but a hand is very close if you just take it in the most simple direct way the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand maybe he was saying it's so close it's closer than your breath you know it's more intimate than even breathing for a human being it's so close so for me that's really what my journey has been with the Course I don't read the book anymore I have read it for a number of years I feel like my life experience is like the living of Course in Miracles where we just landed in Sweden and we had like two weeks of gatherings coming up in Sweden and I was just laying reclining after my trip to Berlin and getting back and she looked over at me and she said have you prepared and I said prepared do you even think about the gathering of people having an hour? we were about to begin she was just looking at me do you think about the gathering where I am that was the answer I am but it wasn't a thought because preparation involves the future if you're I'm very much like Wayne Dyer for example he loves to go and just sit down on a stage for the group of people and savor the moment and see what happens and that's from someone who is very shy and timid who wouldn't even attempt to go on a stage before and certainly would have wanted to have some cue cards or some notes like I had when I was in graduate school and ten years of university I would study and prepare and memorize things but this is not that at all this requires no preparation and in fact you can't really prepare for the present moment at all as soon as you're into the preparations it seems to push it off into the future and that's why I think Jesus has a section in his book Course in Miracles which is I Need to Do Nothing which he talks about long hours of meditation and fighting against sin and these are the most traditional approaches to God that we've known in this planet for centuries people have used these techniques he calls them tedious and time consuming so then you're like okay, tedious and time consuming what have you got and he says your way will be different not in purpose but in form it's like a holy relationship a means of saving time for everyone including yourself and then he goes on to explain what that is he just says you and your brother are together which I say is his way of saying you're really just one mind you think you've separated yourself out into all these separate little personalities but you're really just one that's why it's simple that's why you can achieve the whole enlightenment in one instant if you really want it is because everything's already unified you just have blocked it from your awareness and you can accept that any moment you want he'll say that in the workbook perhaps today I was like yeah, okay perhaps today I'm gonna take that approach every day every moment that's the way I did those workbook lessons I didn't see it as one lesson in 1965 it was perhaps today who knows there may never be a tomorrow so why should I plan and prepare as if there is a tomorrow so that's pretty radical when you, I mean one of my degrees in the university was urban planning so I spent five years how to learn to project things into the future and analyze things and like you would do if you were planning a city you know the infrastructure and the communication systems and transportation systems and electrical systems and everything and then I had to just kind of let it all go ten years of education just poof out the window and then Jesus said I'll use them don't worry it's a good skill that you developed it was the ego that developed the skills but he's like oh, I'll take them over now and use them for happiness and joy for the whole universe and okay okay I'll go for that it seems radical I mean sometimes people think it's radical like when I was down in Australia there was a woman sitting next to me that they brought in this eastern master it's twice I've done gatherings with female eastern masters and this one hadn't eaten anything for fifteen years she was a breatharian and she's had a cup of tea here and there and so I opened the gathering by saying we're all working on forgiveness but we have some extreme examples I said this one hasn't eaten anything for the last fifteen years this one eats whatever he's served no matter what it is everyone's like I said but your path need not be so extreme it's not about the food don't worry it's not it's not an issue of food it's not an issue of eating or not eating whatever it's much deeper than that and then we got into talking about the experiences of forgiveness and healing so that's that's what it's about and forgiveness is healing if anybody has any questions just feel free to you mentioned your posters there about your creations are holding their hands I think what do you what is meant by that what are your creations what is meant by that of course Marcus is something that always comes that's a good question well God is like the prime creator and Christ is the creation of God and then Christ has creations so when it's mentioned in the course your creations like on that quote with a small C it's meaning you as Christ have creations and they're waiting for you it's like in form the animals and the plants and the trees and all the different aspects of the cosmos none of that involves creations those are all perception and projections actually of the ego but creation it's almost like in this world you get children come from their parents you get apples from apple trees and oranges from orange trees you know you there's like such a thing as offspring in this world and just like in the Bible the baguettes baguette baguette baguette and if you shift that up to a spiritual realm you could say that spirit comes from spirit so that God is spirit and Christ is an extension of that spirit and creations are an extension of Christ so they all come in a continuous line of creation of God being the originator and in fact Christ is an idea that's still in the mind of God and then the creations of Christ are still in the mind of Christ which is still in the mind of God so so yeah it's like nothing has really left its source the creations are all aware of their source so when it says a quote like your creations are waiting for you it's speaking of the you that believes in this world that's asleep and forgotten heaven and it's like your creations are like part of your fan club your cheerleaders you know you can do it you can forgive you can let go of these illusions and remember who you are and if you remember who you are then you'll remember who we are because we are part of you as you are part of God so even in Christian traditions we talk about the trinity the holy trinity father, son, holy ghost that's just a father's just another symbol for creator son is just another symbol for Christ or the creation of God and the holy ghost is just also an eternal creation but this is a creation that seems to function for the mind that's asleep the Holy Spirit is like the bridge back to remember God and Christ so there are no voices in heaven because there are no words in heaven it's pure constant communication more like telepathic communion and union and oneness it's almost like an eternal dance but not a dance with bodies like a dance of happiness and joy a song of gratitude that goes on and on forever the voice for God is for the mind that believes it's fallen asleep then the instruction or helpful advice on relief has seen to take the form of a voice and that voice is the Holy Spirit that aspect of the Holy Spirit is an illusion because it's just being used in time but when time is over there's no more need for a voice to disappear along with time and space but the Holy Spirit was created as an eternal creation of God so people will say somebody asked me one time if we separated the first time what happens if we go through all this forgiveness and we wake up and get back to heaven and we go oops what if we fall from grace again I say no it's impossible the Holy Spirit is like your insurance policy you can't it's like this voice that's a reminder that you can never separate from God you couldn't even do it the first time much less the second time it's reminding you that you were just it just was a bad dream or a mistake to even think that you could even separate at all so this whole world is kind of like fantasy imagination it's make believe like fairy tales and people say that's the case why why do anything that's a good question what would be the motive what is the motive for doing anything you would have to do it out of joy or inspiration for it to be meaningful and what I discovered in my life was I was doing most everything in my life based on fear of consequences if I don't work if I don't exercise if I don't eat right if I don't do this and this and this for my girlfriend she's going to leave me you know it's you get boxed in real quick into a role and to try to be a good when we're children be a good little boy be a good little girl behave yourself but what about this feeling forget about that behave yourself act good while you've got all this emotional turmoil going on and now Jesus is saying don't worry about the behavior so much what you do comes from what you think you need to work with your thoughts and your beliefs because your behavior flows automatically from them so the whole course is really aimed not at giving us 10 more commandments you know like the Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles where God gives 20 commandments to Moses and Moses has got two tablets two tablets and then he cracks right before he's ready to deliver the 20 commandments he drops 10 of God's commandments and they crack and you can't even read them anymore and he goes I gave you these 20 10 it's like a Woody Allen they all work together those comedians Mel Brooks, Woody Allen Carl Reiner, you know a group of them and they had a lot of funny stuff but kind of poking fun at blowing it with God so would our creations be the fan club that's waiting for us to hear start singing in gratitude so that they're vibrating I'm vibrating so I'm more aware of that whole consciousness that whole consciousness they're singing in joy because of who they are Christ is singing in joy because Christ and God is in joy so they're all in that happy song of just eternal gratitude no time, no beginning no end, no bodies no perception, just pure light and pure spirit and they're waiting for you meaning they're waiting for you to remember who you are so then you'll know who they are and they want you to know who they are because it's a recognition of such wonderment and joy but the thing that makes them difficult I mean I get that question a lot about the creations because there's nothing in this world that could help you relate to them you couldn't say it's like it's like when I went to saw that waterfall Iguazu Falls no, that's not like that it's like the first kiss I had no, it's not like that when I had a child and I looked into their eyes, nope it's like there's nothing of this world the most intense feeling of joy and happiness in this world wouldn't even come close to this state of eternity because it's all involved time and perceptions but the course is all about approaching that state through forgiveness this is the realm of consciousness consciousness can be trained you've heard people for years even back in the 60s say come on man expand your consciousness be a little more open minded consciousness can be expanded can be trained only to reach a state of of the happy dream or of forgiveness that Jesus talks about which is still one step before it's like God will take the final step and that final step at the end it's more it's prior to this whole loop of time and when you finally have reverse amnesia and you forget this world then you remember the creation the steps already taken you're just remembering what is it's all about she's using the final 30 minutes to go out and film the landscape on our watch it's easier yeah we've got plenty on the inside ok I'll be right back so you just got yourself Sarah went up to get camera camera this was in Belgium and they brought this psychotherapist brought one of her patients to meet me to do a one on one with me and she said afterwards I've heard all this stuff about this course of miracles but it sounded really hard and difficult for you it sounds more fun I think I'm going to go get it so she was going remember her she ended up talking to you after that so but sometimes best if you get it you catch it just at the right time and you catch it before you even read the book you got the paragraph the secret of the secret you go for the core Peter told me not three months ago he saved me some reader you ok you want to sit on this one now this is where you came from look at these rocks oh yeah there's a history of the rocks here I know thousands of years hundreds and thousands of years ago just it's karst which is limestone and when the rain falls on it it creates fissures it eats it away it's quite soft in places and they go really really deep and then there's all these huge under rock cave systems that run the whole length and then there's turlocks which come up which are lakes that just from the water table rises they can suddenly appear out of nowhere because it's such an unusual landscape there's flora and fauna that you can't find anywhere else in the world here especially you know flowers and things down in the little crevices that have ideal conditions that apparently aren't ideal anywhere else and a turlock is an underground rivers that an irrigation or yes underground river systems that come up with high water tables otherwise the land is dry through the summer and then the winter it's a lake where's Malakumar from here Malakumar is Malakumar is Malak is up near Sinclair it's up near Spanish Pointway but it's similar rocks and it's in form of not quite pyramid structure but a mound structure that peers the whole way up and has spiritual significance as well and the government wants to build an interpretive center on it give it back give it back you're attached to it aren't you did you write the four things on your inside for practicing with eulins oh puno puno oh what's that Tom sorry forgive me thank you hearing his consciousness with those four things no matter what he's thinking about what's his name again Hugh Lenn a doctor H-E-W-L-E-N and he's got a long kind of name after that that's what he's known as we probably had enough care is that Galway up there that's Galway yeah all these now we have disciplines that are designed to help fill out the wonder questions but then no one's saying well where did this whole all this wondering and wandering in time and space where did all this begin and you know that's where you start to trace it back and say well I don't know but I want peace and I want this whatever I've done I want it to be undone so I can just rest I don't want this constant chatter of pondering wondering wandering through lost in space was an old television show I used to watch growing up lost in space lost in space lost in space it was an original show it was a science fiction show but it was a robot danger Will Robinson danger danger you know as always robot was warning of danger but they were this the Robinson family was lost in space and you could say that everyone who comes is lost in space and the ones that have houses think they're they have homes and then they point to the ones on the street those are the homeless but again everyone's homeless or you think that there are the schizophrenics that are locked up in the mental institution but schizophrenia is split and everyone who comes to this planet has a split mind that's the definition of coming your mind is split between love and fear and so that's why it's so confusing sometimes it's such a difficult road in a very intense journey is because underneath the occurrences and events of the world there's a split mind and it's like just like in this world you can't mix oil and water you can put oil in a blender and water in a blender and you can blend it as fast as you want and for as long as you want and it will still it will still separate and it's kind of like love and fear you can try and try and try to blend them together in your mind which is what this whole human experiment is about to try to blend love and fear and see if we can get a synthetic mix you know fub I love you I love you that's more accurate actually I love you what's that? well I fear you and I love you but I'm not sure okay I'm picking you to be my partner but just remember there's about 3 billion other potential choices and if you don't live up to my standards and expectation there's a lot of fish in the sea I'll just pick somebody else no pressure I've never received unconditional love my parents didn't give it to me my boyfriends, girlfriends, sisters, parents but you a special one you now have the opportunity to provide me with unconditional love and there's no pressure even though others have failed before you all others have failed I've been punished on this planet I was just dividing the 6 billion and buy 2 for the sexes I was saying 3 billion I guess you have to I only need one just one will do and we're always scared of death and yes it's the most joyous experience everybody doesn't want to even talk about it it's like we don't want to talk about dog yeah and also say you can't just die to get back to heaven it's more it's resurrecting your mind that's why the inner journey is so important and it seems like of the 6 billion there's just a small fraction that seem to be at this point really sincerely or consciously aware that there's like a spiritual evolution going on others kind of just have our following religious beliefs that were kind of handed down I know that for myself with my biological family my sister seems to just follow my parents footsteps she goes to the same church she's part of the same political party you know it's really very typical of this world when people grow up in a community or a country where they they seem to be born and raised and then they seem to grow old and die right there you know people make jokes even in Cincinnati where I live they make jokes about a few neighborhoods that are very kind of traditional and never leave the neighborhood their whole life they're born in the west end of this this particular neighborhood and they stay there their whole lives and they die in that end and they never really you know explore or question that there's anything more but I think that's what brings the group of us together is there's something inside that's going you know there's something more and I know it and I maybe don't know exactly how to access it completely but I know that it's there and I feel like I'm being drawn towards it and that we save time by coming together like this because we learn from each other's experiences and we are inspired by each other's experiences to not give up hope you know on the journey which can sometimes seem pretty long like like the beetle said a long and winding road sometimes it can seem that way


Hello, it's Michael Bailey with Avocon, also known in many virtual worlds as Marcus Llewellyn and I'd like to welcome you back to this video tutorial series on learning building skills in OpenSimulator. Basic shapes like cubes, spheres, and pyramids are all great shapes to use for building. But by now, you've probably looked at amazing and unusual shapes and wondered, how did they do that? In this tutorial, you will begin to learn how to edit these basic shapes to make fantastic new building blocks to use in your builds. This information is very powerful but easy and it's where the fun in building really begins. In previous tutorials, we have learned that all building starts with putting together basic shapes. Just like a real set of building blocks, different shapes can be stacked and put together to form new shapes. However, in OpenSimulator, you can start with a basic shape and change it into something very different. Before you learn how to change or edit basic prim shapes, let's review the different ways you can res these basic shapes. There are two main ways you can res a basic shape. You can use the edit window to create a basic shape or you can create a default cube and then change its shape. Let's practice both ways now. One way to res basic prims is to right click on the ground and choose create from the menu. And then, using the wand, clicking on the ground where you want your shape to appear. You can do this over and over again to create many shapes, but as you can see, they always create the same shape over and over again. So the other way to res shapes is to press Ctrl B on your keyboard to open the build window. And as you can see, we have a whole bunch of icons here that show you basic shapes you can res. You'll see the two of these are for plants, trees, and grass. Be aware that you can only res these if you own the land that you're resing on. So let's practice by resing something other than a cube, let's say a pyramid, and to res another shape, let's click on the wand at the top of your edit window and now let's choose a cylinder. And again, let's now res a sphere. Using this method, practice selecting and resing each of the basic shapes shown. Now let's learn something new about resing. You can also begin by resing the default cube and then changing it to another default shape. If you res to cube and you look over your edit window, make sure the object tab is selected and then if you look, you'll see a drop down box. And right now it says box, which is the default cube. But if we click on this drop down box, we'll get a whole list of all the basic shapes available to us. Notice by choosing each one and becoming familiar with all the shapes that are available to you. You'll notice that one of these is sculpted. Sculpted is a special kind of shape and we're not going to cover that in this tutorial. We're going to wait for another tutorial to handle that one. But for now, play with the other ones and become familiar with them.  Something else you might notice is that if you start off with a basic cube and change it to something else, like say a tube, and then go back to the original cube, you'll see that the cube has changed shape. This is because some of the primitives depend on other primitives. They alter the properties of the original to create a whole new one. That's something we're going to learn more about in the following tutorials. From this point on, building is just going to get cooler and cooler. What if you could just cut a chunk or a wedge out of a shape? You can cut different sized chunks out of shapes using the path cut technique. We're going to start experimenting with different basic shapes to see how this control affects each of them. The path cut begin and control is located in your edit window under the object tab and you can see it's beneath the list of primitives. Path cut begin and end. The path cut begin and end control will cut a section out of any shape you res. The path it cuts is along the z-axis or the blue arrow. The width of the slice or chunk that is removed depends on the begin and end number values you choose. The values for these can range anywhere from 0 to 1.0. Let's explore the path cut in more detail. Let's start by opening your build window and resing a cube. Now if you look at the path cut settings you'll see that there are two boxes. One starts with a B and that's the beginning of the cut. The other has an E and that's the end of the cut. The difference between these two is that one starts from one side and the other one starts from the other side. Now smaller values will make it look like a chunk has been cut out of your prim. But if you use a much larger value it will make your prim look like just a slice. Make sure you res many of the basic prim shapes and experiment with how path cutting works on them. You really want to familiarize yourself with the way that path cutting affects each kind of shape. Take your time and experiment as much as you need. Now what if you could cut a hole in the middle of a shape and hollow it out? Well yes you can do this. Every basic shape can be hollowed out. In fact even the shape of the hole can be changed. For example you can put a square hole in a sphere or a round hole in a pyramid. Let's begin to learn about how to hollow a prim by resing a cube. Look into the object tab in your edit window. Below path cut you'll see an option for hollow. By clicking on the up arrow you can begin to hollow out your cube. Let's move our camera closer so we can get a better look at it. Larger values mean a larger hollowed out shape and smaller values put in just a little hole. Now as soon as you hollow out a prim the hollow shape option becomes active. As you can see by default it's just a square but you can change this to a number of different things. You can change it to a circle, you can change it to a square or you can change it to a triangle. And you can play around with the hollow setting to see what this looks like on a prim. Let's rest another shape, let's say a cylinder and see how that looks. Let's hollow it out and change the default shape to triangle. As you may have noticed, most prims are hollow on the Z axis or along the blue arrow. Go ahead and res several prims and play around with the hollow setting to see how it looks and how it changes things. Take special note that the tube, the torus, and the ring hollow out differently than other primitives. Let me show you what I mean. Let's select this torus and I'm going to path cut it so you can see it cut in half. Now if we look at it and we increase the hollow, you can see that it actually hollows out from the inside. All of these shapes work in the same way. As you can see this opens up some interesting possibilities. Go ahead and practice with this and play around with them to see what kind of shapes you can make. And now we've reached the end of this tutorial. We've reviewed how to res prims, we've learned about path cutting, and we've learned how to hollow out prims. In the next tutorial, we'll learn how to build a bench together using all the skills that we've learned so far. As always, thank you for watching, I hope you'll tune in for the next tutorial. Keep building, keep practicing, and have fun.


From Las Vegas, expecting the signal from the noise. It's theCUBE covering InterConnect 2016. Brought to you by IBM. Now your host, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are live here in Las Vegas for exclusive coverage of IBM InterConnect 2016. This is theCUBE Silicon Angles flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante. Our next guest is Larry Weber, program director, analytics platform cloud, data services at IBM. I got the long tiles at IBM. Basically you're doing the database as a service in the cloud. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you so much, thanks for having me. So databases as a service are a hot thing. Cloud enables a lot of stuff. Developers can plug in. All that value proposition being kicked around. At the end of the day, what is the core value proposition for your group? Because at the end of the day, I need horizontally scalable database. I need database access everywhere. I need auto scaling. The data's the key aspect of that. Yeah, so like data's that single thread across everything, right? And you think back to the days when you're talking about big data. Oh my gosh, how do we handle all this stuff? Now we're at a state in which we have all these technologies and everyone's attacking big data. And now it gets down to the point of, oh, well, I want to do that now. And I want to do it fast. And I think back to like, I have little boys, right? And watching TV, when I was a kid growing up, we used to wait for your show to come on. It was like, hey, six o'clock, cartoon comes on our TV show.  I can press my button, get it whenever I need it. And that's kind of the same way now with people that are building out programs and applications. They can't wait for someone to get on the phone and bring them in and oh, let's like think through this. I want it now. I want to build now immediately. And that's what Cloudy to Services allow these folks to do. They want to essentially make, they want the infrastructure's code mandate, which is essentially been the DevOps ethos. Making that happen is two different things. Take us through what that means, because now the database is the critical aspect. It used to be also in the old days when we coded was the schema drove everything. Right now you got unstructured data, big part of it. Certainly got to run some structured data on it. Talk about that balance. You have a critical linchpin called the databases, or data, now that's going to impact other things. Yeah, so it's almost like the floodgates are open because now we have so many different data stores, data types, things that are going on out there. And you think about it back when we had big data, think about Hadoop instance. We're like, oh, semi-structured data, how do we handle this? How does that go into a database or a data warehouse? And so that problem was there, we worked through that, and then the Hadoop world opened up a little bit more. Now with data lakes, data marts, and everything in between. Data oceans. Yeah, right? But one of the other things that started popping up, and this is, it gets back to the whole like, I don't develop a revolution, so to speak. Everyone started the new king makers, all that goodness. And queen makers. Yeah, right. One of the things is people are building up their own. They're not depending the organizations that say, hey, you must use this system, this database, this data server, Hadoop, whatever. They're either writing their own, building their own, or joining the open source communities and helping build other areas up. No SQL is one of those, right? And so now we have all these different data stores across the globe, everywhere, at one point in time, that people want to work with, leverage, and utilize in their programming, and to build new applications. And from getting back to cloud data services, is when we talk about open for data and being there 24 seven, is we're also leveraging and embracing this open source technology. And we're building up and around that as well. So we're creating this entire 24 by seven, I would say storefront, for anyone, anytime, anywhere, to build their data sets, to come in and build upon cloud data services. So can you talk a little bit, Larry, about one of the things that we hear from organizations, yours and others, is you're trying to use data and analytics to help brands affect an outcome in near real time. Maybe it's before they lose the customer, or maybe it's to save a life, whatever it is. And part of that is bringing analytics and transaction systems together. Are you seeing that as a real trend today? I mean, IBM talks about it, talks about it, certainly in the Z mainframe, was one of those sort of emphases, you hear it at these different big data shows. Is it actually happening? Is it something that you guys are trying to affect? Or is it really still this world of sort of separate types of approaches? Or between data and analytics kind of approach? Well, but specifically between analytics and transaction data coming together. Yeah, so what we're seeing first off is a lot more of the analytic, you're saying if you want to capture customers before they leave, right? Customer churn models, et cetera. And you don't want to wait until tomorrow to have that happen. Be like, oh wait, you know, we figured out this customer may or may not leave, but they've already left. A lot of that's doing, one of the quicker things we're doing is we're pushing analytics closer to the data store, the database, whether it be transactional or whatnot. For example, DashDB, one of our in cloud data warehouses, we have integrated embedded analytics in that data warehouse. So you can do the analytics there, and to pull it off, you do it natively there in the data warehouse, and that's UberQuick, right? And that gives you a time of value that's unprecedented. We don't have anything else like that. So you're talking about operationalizing analytics in that example. So here's the use case. I mean, it's pretty common. I got all those disparate data sources. I want to bring them in to some platform. I want to blend them. I want to clean them. Maybe I store it in my data lake, but then I want to do a schema and read. So okay, so I have all this data. I want to get it to a point that I trust, and then I want to embed the analytics into my processes. So are you seeing that as a major trend, and how are you supporting that? Yeah, so we're seeing a lot of different things there, and I'd say how we're supporting it is, depending on the customer and what they want to do, one of the great things of having so many different technologies that we're able to handle each one of those situations. I've seen both fronts, and we're talking from where we're doing the analytics is, I've seen people do it physically within that data platform itself, but the actually be is that taking off, but also looking at it from the aspect of distributed analytics across the organization, and doing it locally, where they want to do the analytics themselves, whether it be a lot of companies are located around the globe, and they're going to pull that data in and do it where they do it locally. So I mean, it's clear that IBM has the technologies to do what I described. What I sometimes struggle with understanding is, is there a platform to actually perform that sort of process and support that operationalizing analytics, or is it more a menu of services that I'm going to pull together? How does it actually turn into a business capability? Yeah, so there's a number of different fronts. So you think about a cloud data services as ourselves, our data platform, and we think about all these different services that you just can go tap into, play with, load data into, integrated to as well, in which you can talk back and forth. But then you also have the idea of the hybrid approach that people have a lot of on-premise systems already. And so we're getting into discussion a little bit of the cloud and on-premise. And one of the things is being able to make that connection so that I can do my processing locally and then reach out to the cloud as needed, do processing where processing is done best, whether it be on a web app or a mobile app or whenever it be. And I can do the analytics there but also can bring it in as well. It all depends on the situation when the company wants. I would say it's a hybrid type platform. What's your take on the customer impact? Because this is the day, a lot of the playbooks aren't baked out on this area because everyone's really transforming in real-time. A lot of things happening fast. I need it now, I need it now. What's the impact of the customer?  They might have a problem statement that says, hey, we're going to transform our retail app. But that might not be about their software, omni-channel, normal stuff. It might be a DevOps problem. So they have no playbook. So this is a big challenge right now. What's your thoughts on that and what do you see people doing to get the data, to get the answers in the communities? Is it GitHub? Is it in some of the Stack Overflow areas? Yep, yep, where is, how does the practitioner get what they need? Yeah, so I mean, those are all great options and that's where, you know, the facto standards, folks are going there to look and ask and that's, look, this kind of supports the idea of the open platform, the open source community which people are sharing information. It's apparently different than I would say 15 years ago. People are out there offering code and saying let's work together, let's solve this problem. So that's a part of it. There's a level of education that's come together here specifically in cloud data. Now, looking at how people, how this is transforming and where people are going, I can give you an example I had just downstairs earlier on in the Expo Center, working with some of our developer advocates. These are kind of our dev ninjas that we have working for us. And inherently different than the old days was one of the apps wasn't working right on the platform on the Expo floor and it was, oh my gosh, how do we fix this? He goes, hold on Larry, no worries. Give me like five, 10 minutes. Like what are you talking about? I'll fix it. All right, whatever, go do it. He uses our own software to go create a new web app so that a user can come in there and look at the different demos that we have on the backdrop. He was like no big deal, no problem. And he's doing- He wrote an overlay app on top of the existing Lego blocks he was working with. He was leveraging all of that goodness there in BlueMix and Cloudint and actually got it up there. And if you go down there to the Expo floor now, right now that front end on those iPads is that. So let's take that step further. So let's just take that example. That's a great example of leverage. Someone already did some stuff. It's like building a house and just having someone pour the concrete for you. You don't need to be in the concrete business to do that foundation. Same with programming, whatever analogy you want to use. What do you guys have that is leverageable that the developers are really flocking towards? Is it the tooling, is it the platform in your area around the data-db? What's that key enabler that they don't have to be in the business of doing? Yeah, so a lot of it. Number one is different. You're going across the board between developers and IT architects and data scientists. And when we support them all, and real quick, if to think about it this way, in organizations that are much more mature, you might have I'm a defined as an IT architect or I'm defined as a data scientist. But in the new up-and-coming organizations, I might be all of them, okay? And so you need to be able to service and talk to and handle anything from data science all the way through, you know, app dev stuff, right, as your fingertips. Now, looking at the new models and what we're doing and why people are flocking towards looking at us, I'd say there's a number of things, right? This is a whole idea around open for data, right? Number one is we're leveraging and working with open source.  We've done that for you. We have it there as a service. And geez, I'm trying to think how many of our 25 services are based on or working with open source. It's insane. So all of that goodness that people are building up and GitHub and these communities and learning on, we're supporting that and we're driving that, we're hosting that in the cloud. Now, what we do there is we augment that with certain IBM capabilities and technologies. Let's say before, dash DB, that's based on our DB2 blue columnar data store, but also has the teaser analytics baked in. What we're doing is we're taking what open was done and we're augmenting it with our special secret sauce and we're giving someone a unique value proposition in the cloud's data software space. So you support it, you have a foundation of open source, you take the secret sauce that's unique and that's what you charge for. That's your unique value, that's what people will pay for. In some ways, yeah. So I mean, I think it started a long time ago, we had big insights for Hadoop, right? That took our Hadoop open source, then we added some things that were IBM specific like text analytics and other things around that. And that was a while back. Now that's in the cloud as a service and this is one piece of many. I think the other aspect is that we offer so many different data sources and data stores that are integrated and composable across this that you can come in there, like compose enterprise and say, I don't know which one I'm gonna need. I'm gonna need maybe more than one database. Here you can as a developer, an enterprise developer, have it all at a glance, like a buffet almost. I can pick and choose what I want and I don't need to worry about making that decision early on. I can do it later and I know IBM's gonna support me in that process. So thinking about Hadoop, we've mentioned it a couple of times and thinking about your initiatives around Spark, what did you learn from Hadoop? I mean, IBM has its own Hadoop distribution. Okay, it's one of many. Spark comes along, you guys are all in, putting the chips on the table, so to speak. What were your learnings from Hadoop and what are the objectives with regard to your Spark initiative? Yeah, and so I might be a little skewed here because I came up through some of the Hadoop and got really hands-on early on. I'd say one of the things with Hadoop, and this might be the whole world of big data, was that, hey, a lot of noise and not people doing, right? A lot of people watching and listening and waiting. I think what we learned from Hadoop was really watching what our customers were doing with it and really looking at those unique use cases, it might not have been what we thought it was, right? It was really actually looking at and listening to our customers saying, okay, you're putting that in a cold storage, you're leaving it there, and now you're going to look at it rather. Rather pile, they're just piling up the data. That was one aspect of it. There's many different use cases here and how we can leverage it. Semi-structured data stuff that they don't know how to handle it yet, so put it out there and then start testing it, playing with it, and then, oh, wait a second, that's not a cheap data warehouse, that augments our data warehouse. We can now search that unsemi-structured data and now bring it in. It's that interplay. Yeah. That interplay really is the key. It's not a replacement. I mean, Cloudera tried to be the data warehouse of the future, but then it's all driven by the customer's objective. Beauty's in the eye of the beholder, and that's kind of the way it works, right? I mean, so take those learnings, and so you learned a lot from listening to customers and now apply it to Spark. I mean, how are you approaching Spark differently? So, how we're not doing it differently, we are listening to customers and we are seeing how people are moving about and playing with Spark. Spark opens up a lot of doors and it's different, right? It's not the same as to do, but I almost view it sometimes as almost that super force alien that sits on top of Hadoop and powers it, right? It makes it super fast, super strong.  That's one aspect to it, but what I'm seeing is a lot of people using Spark to investigate new things that they couldn't do before. And a lot of, you know, with notebooks, et cetera, that people are getting hands on and they're testing out new trends that Hadoop really wasn't powered to do, and now they're testing out Spark and looking at new directions and from an IBM perspective, we are listening and we're working with them to find out those next steps. I mean, anything from, you know, leveraging, you can come down to our demo floor, it's sentiment analysis that we're leveraging Spark for, doing better things faster and empowering these customers and consumers faster. Larry, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Really appreciate it. The data is a big part of the value proposition. It's kind of like the underbelly that no one's talking about because that's where the action is and it's going to impact everything. So the developer piece is huge. IT Architect, again, they're looking for the playbook. So we'll keep an eye on that. Thanks for sharing. But I'll give you the final word. What's the vibe of the show? For the folks aren't here, who aren't on site, who aren't seeing the interactions, what's the vibe here? Yeah, so I get back to the whole thing, the theme around open for data, right? I mean, it sounds pretty simple, but it's true. It's really around taking this thread of data, it's open, 24 by seven, it's open, open source, it's integrated, it's there, whether it be the data stores itself or the data you're pulling in. We need to liberate this for everyone so that everyone can tap in anytime that they want and leverage this awesome platform of services. It's the new builders that are building on top of this and building the next generation of apps. The new world's open, it's collaborative, it's all being done in the open with people, whether that's software or content. Check out theCUBE on SiliconANGLE.tv.

We'll be right back more from live coverage of IBM Interconnect 2016 after this short break.


We'll come back. It's now time for Off The Press. Let's invite our guest, Mr. Chandik Kholawalli, a public affairs analyst. Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Good morning, Mr. Kholawalli, the weekend. Fantastic, thank you. Let's go straight to the punch in these papers. Headline says, government, 4.8 billion era pledge. Federal government can't be trusted, says National Association of Resident Doctors. We negotiated with NMA minister insist, and NAAD says, we can't go back to our members with empty promises, pay first. NGG tells doctors, we didn't hold talks with you, your matter is in court. Above the headlines on the punch, Nigerian Tindaspa are amid $65.34 billion in three years. CBN says, food imports got $1.04 billion in six months. Grays and reserves, autumn threatens legal action against Buhari. Bread price hike looms as bakers decry flower cost. Fuel price remains until federal government, labor and negotiations, says PPPRA. Juhesu says, Buhari's son's wedding, other large gatherings can fuel COVID-19 infections. Below the headlines on the punch in these paper, we see pictures of former president, Olusago Abasangir, taking a knee before the Oluwawari, and more pictures from that coronation ceremony. And it says, at 2, I say the third ascension, new dawn for Shakiri, that's according to Abasangir. Catholic clerics should not endorse political leaders, Bishop Warnes. Wanted drug dealer arrested in Lagos Church, man excretes heroin. Vayiku conveying Delta wedding guests, some assaults, seven die. Ex-herbalist allegedly hypnotizes Lagos teenager. Victim recovers in Undostate. COVID-19, Ogun lecturer tackles Lagos over the tension. Government threatens prosecution. Lastly on the punch in these paper, Kaduna Baptist School abductors promise to release all abductees, free 15. Now moving on to the daily sun newspapers. Big one you can see on your screen says, grazing roots, autumn blows hot, plans to sue Buhari. Group drags president and others to court of a failure to investigate missing 106 billion Naira in 149 MDAs. We can also find, of course, once again, the picture of Abasangir and the Oluwawari. 2023, Ohanes says parties must zone presidency to Southeast. Platoon killings requires orders evacuation of Abia students. IPOB accuses security operatives of plot to disguise as ESN to enforce sit at home. Enjoy tears as 15 abducted Baptist students regain freedom. Again, bandits slaughter 12 in Katsina community. Nine bodies recovered as gunmen kill three in reprisal attacks in Kaduna. Self-defense, Masari defends stance, this Mrs. Call for resignation. And of course, FAN in 140 billion Naira financial mess owes staff pensioners, contractors. Those are the stories on the daily sun. Let's go to the Guardian newspaper. The headline reads, autumn Ohanes, a fall in a kick over known grazing roots. Vanuay governor threatens legal action against Buhari, ranching. Federal government should allocate 6.25 billion Naira to other states. That's according to Falunar. Here about groups analysts say federal government's move and invitation to war and anarchy. Famers say federal government should procure land for all, not only herders. Why CBN's $50 billion intervention fails to rally confidence in stock market. Gunmen kill 12 persons in fresh Katsina attack. 500 COVID-19 deaths recorded at Lagos isolation center. Why we oppose Obian Naira's proposed 60 billion Naira supplementary budgets by ZLP. Lastly on the Guardian, Gumi tells politicians that they're milking Nigerians. And now to the daily trust, PDP crisis. Anxiety as seconders rejects October deadline. Aircraft handling, federal government operators lose $28 million yearly. Taraba, Fulani air leaders, hand over 11 kidnappers and gun runners to police. Doctors in mass exodus amidst NARD strike. It says less than 40,000 doctors, 7,200 million Nigerians. Federal government should develop emergency intervention, says the NMA. We can also see here bandits released 15 more students of Bethel Baptist, Katoa unrest, Joss Muslim communities to protest, or to protect churches. And Buhari's son's wedding, Gumi blast politicians who flew jets to Bichie. Good morning, Mr. Tunde Kallawale. Thanks for joining us once again. Good morning, my brother. All right, we probably can start with the story on the release of the 15 more Bethel Baptist school kids. It's celebration for those parents, but it still says about 60 plus are still in captivity. Quickly, react to that please. Well, I want to rejoice with the parents of the Baptist school students that had been released. I also rejoice with the state government. All parents who have seen this on the pages of the newspaper, this money will be glad to receive it. Thank God they get our back home. No one is still comfortable. My children will be adopted within the confines of Nigeria. And they will stay that long in the kidnappers' den. We aren't doing enough to secure the safety of our children. And it is the future of the Nigerian nation that is at stake now. When children are scared, when they cannot go freely to school and have the peace of mind to do their studies and all that, I will be able to produce the leaders of tomorrow. And related to that story, there's also another one in there which says that some other school children have equally been kidnapped. I think about 12, 12 of them or more. About 12 percent somewhere else. The bandits are releasing some students. They also keep nothing they want. And why is it so? It is because we probably have a relation. We probably think that the security people are not being enough. I have always said there should be layers upon layers of security around children when they are in school. There are also technologies all over the world now to be able to locate ten points where these children might be kept by the bandits when they are taught there. And there are all sorts of tranquilizers, mentalizers like some grenades that can be thrown. We throw the kidnappers then and everybody goes in there to sleep and then the security will go and evacuate the children and arrest the bandits wherever they may be. But nobody appears to be thinking in this direction and it is very sad. More importantly, the quality of the world you have the ability to kidnappers and bandits and empowering them. And they pay huge sums of unusual sums which and they have taught people also seem to be foiling this. You see, are going to be paying kidnappers and bandits in the northern parts of the country. What moral justification do we have as a nation to continue to prosecute Evan who is standing trial here in Lagos for kidnapping people for ransom? If what is good for good not equally good for Gandalf, the public should also have released Evan, rehabilitated him and ask him to go home and say no more. So these are very, very pertinent and troubling issues that we as a nation require to really address. We have no more than just case or whatever, like I said, to continue to try Evan to continue to try some of the boys in Naipa and some other people may have alleged who are standing trial for kidnapping and banditry in the southern part of the country. We should have equal policies the same measure for whoever is engaged in this kind of heinous crime. All right, Mr. Kolaouale, I want us to take a look at the story that has made the headlines across the papers about grazing routes. And it says, autumn blows hot, plants to soothe Buhari. Also, we see it on the Guardian newspaper, Falano, as well as Ohane's, Indigo is kicking over this. Now, we know that this grazing routes discussion came up, you know, quite a while ago. And despite the fact that the southern governors have said that they are against this and are starting September 1st, they will ban open grazing in their state, the president seemed to want to go ahead to revive grazing routes to the country. But now autumn is taking this to court. So what do you foresee to be the outcome of this if this eventually goes to court? Yeah, thank you. This is a very, very interesting story and your question is very beautiful. Let me say I'll try to, that you and I will know that there is no love lost. The king of now autumn and the president of Buhari. When the killings in the state for the state, you will recollect that the president said he was going to stand in secret general of police of the state to unravel what is happening there and bring the situation under control. But right under the president's note, the idea of police refused to go to the state to do anything. And the president didn't apply any function against the idea of police. For me, I smell a rat in there. It must be that the president in the first instance never wanted the idea of police to go in there. It could also be that the president was not explained to the gallery. It could also be that somebody is enjoying what is happening to the people in the state. Wanted to punish them. For the intercedency of their governor who has always been seated on the right of his people. As to what I'm going to call, I'm not sure that much is going to come out of there. Why do I say this? I say this because we have the executive of government, the presidency, the autonomy of the federation, the Department of State Security Service, the Nigerian police, who have no respect whatsoever for the rule of law. And we have all this drag and play. This will be court orders. So when you take them to court and now that, it is good to take them to court and leave to be on record as civilized people. That rather than engaging the FF, you as a governor, you as people of the military, you went to court to seek return for your rights that are being violated. Such that when in future, you have the responsibility of the government, people have respect for the rule of law, people will be court orders. And you can always invoke whatever order to get in court for compensation or at least to bring to book those who are flagrantly disobeyed court orders. When someone was done with respect to this, a great solution. As to the southern governors and war lawyers, they have not merely seen their heads against the wall. So they have seen that even though they are described as the chief security officers of their state, do they really have the quality power? Do they have the security forces, the police, the army, the navy and order to defend and enforce whatever security they want to enforce in their respective states? The answer is no. No governor can give another to a commissioner of police to carry out any security activity within the confines of the state and then the commissioner of police will obey. Rather, the commissioner of police will first call the I.G. of police to inform me and to ask for permission to carry out whatever order the governor may have been in. And then the I.G. will call the president. Who solely appoints the commissioner of police? Even though that is not what the commissioner prescribes, it is the police for this commission and council that should appoint, that should certainly appoint the commissioner of police. So they say that the governor don't have the quality power to enforce the new, the grating, the ban on open grating that law that they have all enacted, makes the law just redundant and something that can only be enforced when in future the public will have the state police that they can send into the forest and order to ensure that this new grating, that this ban on open grating other than in parts of Nigeria could be enforced. I'm not also sure that I might tell them that they do have all the eastern Nigeria security network or it will be as they see in the east can enforce the new open grating in the southern part of the country. The massive, massive power that is at the end of the federal government will be used to frustrate and also to ensure that they don't enforce the open grating rules. And so the presidency that is being set up on open grating, I will want to say that they are the worst enemies of the fuller people, of the open grating people that we do have in the country. When you have those so-called open grating rules before independence and all that, the population of Nigeria wasn't this big. The desert has not encroached, so most of the places it has encroached to be and for the most scientific means of the animal advantage has been developed to the level which it has developed now. If anybody loves the fuller name, what kind of a person will be doing is to encourage them to engage or embark on ranch agriculture so that the animals can be better fed and produced, more meat and more milk and more grains for production of food, birds and water. And also for the fuller name children who will be able to go to school and then live a decent and normal life that the children of other tribes and clans in Nigeria are living. More importantly, this elective of Mr. Pedro the presidency is in sharp contradiction to what he had gone to Casino to do. The same presidents as Mr. Pedro about six billion, now to the government of Casino to start developing ranch agriculture in Casino states. So if we have done that, why would the same government not be insisting on open grazing from other parts of the country when you're already putting that money to develop ranch agriculture in Casino states? Like we used to say, what is good for the goods will equally be good for Canada. What the presidency should have done if they love the fuller name person and if they want peace throughout the length and breadth of Nigeria is to equally make the same resources and then they put to all the states of the tradition so that they can begin to develop ranch agriculture. There is no future in open grazing either for the fuller name or for the Nigerian nation. All right, you can also quickly share your thoughts on the events in Worry over the weekend with the coronation of the new law of Worry. It was of course a long event. Hello, my brother, Lada. I'm asking if you can also share your thoughts on the coronation of the old law of Worry. It also makes the papers this morning. Oh, fantastic, fantastic. You know, I am not a fan of the monarchy. The reason why I'm not a fan of the monarchy is simply because I've become a situation in which somebody who just by an accident of birth become a leader and begin to preside over their people.  But since that institution has not been scrapped with an insistence, they also draw their followers on the movement from the taxpayer's money. Yeah, we continue to tolerate them as it was on to probably the institution is scrapped because even in Britain, as we are today, where you have the coin and not a. A lot of people are negotiating that there's a situation to be scrapped that it is a kind of parasite on the taxpayer. And they are no longer relevant. They are no longer contributing anything to the society. And that society is within a multiple institution that doesn't have any place in the democracy. For the young man, I congratulate our leader, Professor, who has become the leader of Worry. And the tone of the leader of Worry is a very, very important term. It is an old age term that is a very, very prestigious. The young man is well educated and all manners of something block has been placed on the spot before now, because that it probably would have been the leader of Worry from 50 years ago. But certain people came up with the traditional policy that since his mother is not from the name or from Worry, the question of friends in becoming the leader of Worry and because of that his uncle, Niko, was made the leader of Worry until the man passed away recently due to COVID-19. The concern of Nigeria friends as a discrimination on the basis of that, on the basis of religion, on the basis of ethnicity. It is repugnant to natural justice. The state because a man's mother is not from the name or from certain places, then he's not entitled to certain things. That is not the grain of our law. That is not the spirit and let us open up conscience. Now that the sanity has regained, I congratulate the leader of Worry and wish him the best of luck throughout his time of stewardship. I also want to remind them that there has always been a bond between the Yoruba people and the sacred people because they are cousins. For the presence of the law of Worry's father, never understood that he severed all the relationship that used to exist between the Yoruba and the sacred for reasons best known to him. And I am saying that the relationship between the Yoruba and the sacred is a symbiotic relationship. They are both cousins, the Yoruba and the sacred people. And when you also look at the sacred people and the Yoruba people, so many sacred leaders, like Alfredo Wani and so many of them have used their resources to promote Yoruba cause. Some of them, like Alfredo Wani, also sacrificed his life to promote Yoruba cause. Alfredo Wani was key because of his struggle to get a nation of M.K. Abela as the president, revalidated. Alfredo Wani taught his life, put his resources behind the Yoruba people, behind the activists in the whole world to realize his political ambition. All right, Mr. Kolo Wali. And look forward to the new Yoruba sending the relationship between the Yoruba and the sacred people with cause. The sacred people are an endangered species, very small tribe. When strokes become pushing, they might need a larger tribe like the Yoruba to protect their income. All right, Mr. Kolo Wali, let's finally take a look at the big story on the punch. And it's about the federal government vassals, the National Association of Resident Doctors. Now, we know that this matter, the federal government took it to the industrial court, but President Mohammed Buhari actually ordered on Friday that negotiations should continue. And according to the story, more negotiations are supposed to continue today and that there should be another memorandum of understanding signed today. But now it is saying that they are tired of signing MOUs, that if signed MOUs, MOAs, you name it. And what they need now is for the government to begin to pay and they do not want any more promise. But we see the minister here saying that they're not negotiating with NARD, that they're negotiating with the Nigeria Medical Association. So I don't know how you see this matter here, where the NMA, rather, the NARD is refusing to sign any more MOUs, saying that the federal government cannot be trusted while NGIGI here is saying that all negotiations that they would do would be with the NMA and that the NMA can go ahead and dialogue with NARD. What is happening in the sector is a monumental tragedy. It is not what should be happening in this era of the pandemic when people are dying like flies all over the place. What is the difference between NARD and NMIG? Are they not the same branch of the same medical people? The NMA are just the resident doctors. Why the NARDs are the resident doctors? Why? Why the medical doctors is just the umbrella for them? For me, NGIGI would be saying that they didn't negotiate with NAMG, but only the NMA. It doesn't make sense to me. The minister is just playing on semantics or is just being clever by heart. The truth of the matter is that our sector, like the educational sector, like the infrastructure sector are not being properly funded and we require to fund these places the way they should be funded. If we had done the NMIG food since the beginning, the medical tourism that we see Mr. President do pre-hospitalism, that he send nothing back to upon when he had a NARCIDEN and that the wife also does it regularly and all that, wouldn't have been there. And you know, this government has been empowered now for about six years and within the last six years they have not been able to put in place a decent, well-equipped and well-stabbed medical institutions anywhere in the country. It wouldn't be too much by now. If we have at least about six, well-equipped, well-stabbed, well-trained and beautiful infrastructure in six geopolitical zones where people can go in there and see treatment. But I think the government is not committed to that project. My advice to the NARG and the NMIG are not those who work in the medical sector. It would be like my advice to the I mean to the university teachers and look, let all of us concentrate on good governance. There is no aspect of a life that is properly funded. The NMIG, the NARG, the answer to people cannot live as a life, as a knowledge of comfort in the society in which they are living, in which every other sector is in a deployable condition. If we all team up together and fight for the government and we put good people in government and all that, there will be a better and more rational location of resources and all creatures of our life, whether it be education, whether it be the N sector, whether it be infrastructure, whether it be even security that all of you will be properly funded. It is utopia for the doctors, whether it be NMIG, it is utopia for the academic people to think that they cannot well funded in hospitals, well funded universities, well funded for social, when there are no good people in government. It's impossible, it's utopia. That is the direction with the society should be moving. And also for us to start creating a notice of influence, a notice of wealth, a notice of a better pay, or potential pay for certain persons. We don't work that way. We have tried this in the justice system and we judges and the judges are being paid specialised salaries. We thought we need to pay them good salaries and all that. That will stop corruption and then our hospitals, I mean our courts will start running smoothly. There won't be too many backlogs or cases but that happened as it stopped corruption in the justice system as the courts working smoothly and efficiently the way they show up is entirely of the Supreme Court. Not sweet up to the year 2023. But this is the reality. Let all professionals in this society come together and fight for good governance especially not until 2023 is around the corner. And if you start living this life of utopia that will carry them nowhere. All right, Mr. Kolaule, we will wrap up the conversation here. Thank you very much for starting our Monday with us. Thank you. We wish you a very interesting week ahead. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. It's a pleasure speaking with both of you. Thank you. Stay with us. We'll take a short break. When we come back, we're going to be looking deeper at the Petroleum Industry Act and the controversy surrounding it. Reactions from the Niger Delta mostly and will be joined by two very, very interesting persons to share their thoughts on the recent developments. Stay with us on the breakfast.
