And welcome to think deco-wise program, don't just age, engage, where we look at the issues of aging from an internal point of view. And for an external point of view too, what are some of the changes of thinking that will empower you to have a wonderful extraordinary adulthood? And what are some of the resources that are available to have an extraordinary adulthood? Men six out of 10 will have prostate cancer in America. Six out of 10. So if you see 10 guys around and you don't have it, you're one of four. But what if you do? What are your options? And have you thought of this option? I wanna introduce you to a very important person in my life. His name happens to be Randy Grimm. Same as mine, Larry Grimm. I'm your host and I'm so delighted to do that from Hawaii. Randy, welcome to this program. And I have to tell you, Randy, one of the happiest days of my life was when you came back and said, I no longer have prostate cancer. I was so elated and thrilled, as I'm sure you were. Yeah, thank you. It was a pretty good response when I got that.  And then I'm gonna just turn the story over to you because you've got a well-planned out story to relate to us about your experience with prostate cancer. Okay, well, just in summary, I live in Carlsbad, California, which is a community on the beach about 30 miles north of downtown San Diego. I've lived here since 1972. I grew up in Kansas City with you and our other two siblings and spent 37 years in the private sector in marketing and advertising after going to undergraduate and graduate school. And then for the last 17 years, I've been the video production unit for the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. So, and I still do that. I still do projects for them. But anyway, that's pretty much it. We have two daughters. One daughter here lives here 10 minutes from us, Kimberly, and she's a nurse practitioner in the intensive care unit at the local hospital. And then we have another daughter who lives in Denver, who's an executive for an international fitness firm. We have two great, two grandsons. One is 14, one is coming up 16. They live here. And then another smaller one that's going to be five in July in Denver. Yeah, great. And I've known them. And my daughters, your nieces, Aaron and Amanda, are having a great time associating with Tray and the little baby Tray and with Aaron and Tiffany there in Denver. It's such a great relationship. So, Randy, this past Sunday was sibling day. Oh, really? Another, I guess. Yeah, I guess that's it. Was that created by Hallmark too? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I was excited to be able to have you, my sibling, on camera today and on the program. By the way, viewers, I want you to know for sure that he is my older brother in spite of the fact that he looks younger than I am. Hardly, yeah. So, Randy, you had this incredible experience. I mean, as a chaplain in my life and my work, working with people in churches and working with people in long-term care, working with people in hospice care, writing a book, Don't Just Age and Gauge out of that. I've been close to death and dying for many years now. And I know what it can do to people. I know how it can shift your whole understanding. You have come up close to the potential with a cancer diagnosis. And how'd you manage that? And how did it work for you? Well, fortunately, at the age of 75 in 2020, I'd lived a life that was pretty much, everything was going well. I was very active. I would do anything I wanted, surf, bike, run, walk, travel, fly, whatever I wanted, and I had no problem. The only thing I did for my health was have an annual physical. And in 2012, right after I became 60, why my annual physical started checking the PSA level for my prostate. And it was fairly low then. It was like about 3.2 in 2012. And anything lower than four is good, is okay. But in the coming years, why it started to gradually increase, every year I would go in after the lab results were in and my primary care physician would do a digital rectal exam which is unpleasant but necessary to see if there were any lesions or anything on the prostate. And while my prostate was enlarging, it was still smooth. In 2019 though, the level had reached a point of 7.1, which is well above the 4.0. And that was the peak of COVID and my time came for my annual physical and I was kind of pondering, well, do I really need to do it this year? Because it's a hassle to go in with COVID and all of that stuff to go through the hoops. But I thought, well, no, I'll go ahead and do it. So I went in and I got my blood drawn and I got a call on Friday, the, let's see, it was Friday, the 10th of July in 2020 for my primary care physician and said, hey, everything looks good on your lab results except for one thing, your prostate has jumped from 7.1 to 8.7. And he said, I want you to, I've already scheduled an MRI for you on Monday morning. So he didn't even want me to come in and do an exam. He said, this is serious enough, we have to check it out. I went into a local imaging center, got the MRI done. The next day, I got the results and they said it's a, they judge it by called a Pyrad on a five point scale. And it was a Pyrad of three and they said a three out of five. Three indicates probable cancer. So they said what we would strongly recommend is that you find a urologist and schedule a biopsy. So I was kind of shocked, obviously, but when you face the point when you've been healthy all your life and at age 75 you hear there were cancer, you have pretty much two options. You can get sad and oh gosh, what am I gonna do? And why is this happening to me? That's not me. I got mad and I said, this isn't gonna take me. I know there's options. And fortunately a neighbor across the street in 2012 had was diagnosed with prostate cancer and he went to Loma Linda up in Riverside County for proton therapy treatment. And he was up there for like 28 days, 30 days. He had 30 treatments. He came back and since then has been cancer-free. And so I knew about it. So I immediately took steps to contact them. At the same time, I got a hold of a urologist and scheduled my biopsy. So I had a needle biopsy on August 5th, less than a month after I'd been notified of the cancer or of the PSA problem. What they do is they go in through the back door, so to speak and take 12 different needle samples from your prostate, all areas of your prostate, both lobes to see if it's present and to what degree. Results came back from that, that seven out of 12 of the samples were positive for cancer. So I knew for sure that I had it then. What I did immediately after that, well, then the urologist said, what we need to do is we need to stage it. We need to find out if it's metastasized outside of your prostate. And if so, we need to find out where it's gone. Most usually it goes to the bones or to the lymph nodes. So he scheduled a bone, a nuclear bone scan soon thereafter on the 14th a week later. And I had that and fortunately it was negative. So they typed me or I mean, you stage me at stage 2A, which is the first part of the second stage. The only reason it wasn't more was because there was no indication of being outside the prostate, but the reason it was two is because it was on the peripheral edges of the prostate. I see, yeah, I understand that the real concern is does it jump over the fence? I think you use that term and go into other glands that are close by. Lymph notar bones is where it usually goes into your bone. Lymph notar bones, that's good clarification, thank you. So I, at that point in time, I was proactive to go and talk to Loma Linda. I called Loma Linda and I sent them all of my information. The admissions nurse at Loma Linda suggested contacting California protons, which is located right here 20 minutes away from my home. And the reason they said to check it out is because they had the more advanced technology of proton therapy called pencil beam. Loma Linda has what they call scatter beam. So I went there, but they also said the other advantage of California protons is that the doctor that started proton therapy when they first built the proton generator in 2002 at Loma Linda was Dr. Carl Rossi. And Dr. Carl Rossi had been hired at California protons when they opened. And he is in essence the leading doctor, the leading oncologist for treating prostate cancer with proton therapy in the world. And he has treated to date more than 20 or more than 12,000 patients for prostate cancer with proton therapy with a success rate of 80 to 90%, which equals what they call the gold standard, which is taking the whole thing out, which prostate ectomy, which has all sorts of side effects and negative after effects. So one of the questions from viewers was what is the rate of return for proton therapy patients? And it sounds like it's close to zero. Correct. That's great, Randy. They can't guarantee that. To have that within 20 minutes. Within what? To have that within 20 minutes of your home. Oh yes. People. I'm wonderful. This center and the technology is so dramatic and so effective that people come and pay to stay here for the, it's 28 treatments and they pay to stay here for 28 days in a motel or whatever. So yeah, luckily it was right here in our backyard. I then talked to my urologist. My urologist said, yeah, you've got it. And he gave me about three or four options, one of which was called CyberKnife. And he said, we have a group that does that. I asked him, I said, what about proton therapy? And he said, oh yeah, there's that too, but it takes 28 days and insurance doesn't pay for it. Well, insurance does pay for it if you got Medicare. So he was really in not lying, but he wasn't being totally forthcoming for you. Correct. And over time I've talked to other patients and they've had the same thing happen with their urologists throughout the country. Yeah, we find this periodically in specialized medicine where they want you to have their very way of doing it because they want to get paid, of course. Exactly. And I don't blame them, but that really cuts, that really says that your initial diagnosis and the person who gives it to you is not necessarily going to come up with a variety of alternative healing processes. You have to ferret those out yourself. Right. And that's one of the reasons I'm so grateful you're doing this, Randy, with me, because it can be great information for people who otherwise would not receive this insight and this knowledge. Go ahead. Yeah, what I would recommend, Loma Linda also recommended a book by a man named Robert Marchini. And they sent me a free copy of it. It's called You Can Be Prostate Cancer and You Don't Need Surgery to Do It. You can get it on Amazon.com. If any of your viewers are diagnosed with prostate cancer, the first thing I would recommend is get on Amazon, order that book, and read it cover to cover when you get it. Because what Marchini does, Marchini's not a doctor. He's a prostate cancer patient. And when he was informed that he had it, he went into months of research on options, on every single option, radiation, cyber knife, proton therapy, et cetera. And he discovered Loma Linda as an option and selected it in his evaluations. He talked to patients who had selected each and every one of these options and talked to them about what they experienced with side effects, with after effects, with success rate. And there was no question that proton therapy is the way to go if you qualify. So the other question is, proton therapy proven yet? His book wouldn't be a testimonial to yes, it's proven as primary therapy among therapies. Well, here's the thing about proton therapy. It was started, as I said, initially at Loma Linda. And they pioneered the establishment of it. Proton therapy is used to treat many types of cancers, not just prostate.  I mean, on the website that I'm gonna refer you to later, you'll see the wide array. The proton therapy has been a primary option for more than 20 years now. And as I said, there are 34 different proton treatment centers throughout the U.S. And Mayo has a couple of them. And MD Anderson has some. So your major hospitals and your major medical centers have them from the East Coast to the Midwest to the West Coast. California protons in Loma Linda is the only one on the West Coast in Southern California. And then there's one in Washington. I see, so there's such a variety available. And that's very good to know because we want, you might wanna, those who are viewing this might wanna look for a therapy place that's closer to them, that's proton therapy. But South Carolina, San Diego area is the premier in the service that you would recommend. Well, California protons is premier because of Dr. Rossi. Yeah, the originator of the guy who helped me. He has such experience and success. Now, I might address the fact that with standard radiation, why, and we have a slide for standard radiation, the radiation enters the area where the tumor is, but it goes clear through it. It hits the good organs, it hits the tumor and it hits the other side as well. So there's a lot of risk of damage to good organs and there's a lot of risk of side effects and after effects with pencil beam radiation, which is what California protons and the newer proton centers provide. It's like a laser printer. It's literally the beam is a pencil thin beam that is controlled, pardon me, by the computer and it paints only the tumor and it stops at the tumor. Stops at the tumor, that's phenomenal. It stops at the tumor, it does not go through. So regardless of what the shape of your tumor is, it will laser it, so to speak, with the proton beam, with protons going like 150,000 miles an hour. Wow, wow. So to move on ahead, I started the treatments. My first treatment was on, let's see, the 10th of November, 2020. It was a schedule of 28 treatments and the process, you have to go every day. During weekdays, you're off on the weekends. The process is so simple. It takes longer to drive there and back than it does to get the treatment. My gosh. Basically, you enter the building, you enter the treatment room, you change into your gown.  What's your name and date of birth? Because that confirms that they've got your computer program up there. You give them that and then the treatment area itself looks like a Star Wars setting with a huge gantry that rotates 360 degrees if needed. They place you on the treatment bed, which is the arm is extended out so you can get on it and then they electronically move you into position. The table is then moved into position in front of the, I call it just a box, which serves two purposes. The device that delivers the beam looks like a big box basically, but through it come two things. Number one, it first does a rotation around your body to provide the team with a CT scan. That's to make sure that they've got your body positioned in the right place, in the right position for the computer beam to hit the precise areas of your tumor. So the box basically, as I said, rotates, but then when you're in position, it makes kind of a humming sound, which are the electromagnets lining up the beam and then it goes silent and for 30 seconds after that, that's when the beam is being administered. So the whole process for each treatment takes no more than 10 minutes and it's totally painless, non-invasive. No side effects. I continued to ride my bike every day. I continued to do everything I do. I just couldn't eat some of the things that I normally eat because the dietician at California Protons recommends the foods that are conducive for non-cancerous growth. And so all my five major food groups of Burger, Shakes, Fries, Beer and Twinkies were off the record.  So 28 days of go in, lie down, and oddly enough, one of the fun things is when you go in, they ask you, they have a tremendous stereo system in the treatment room and they will play any kind of music you want. They have a subscription to iTunes. And so every day, the major decision I had going in other than remembering my name and birth date was what song or what artist I wanted to hear. So I had them play a different artist or different song every one of the 28 treatments. And at the last treatment, I knew what I wanted. So I saved it till last. The last song that I had them play was Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees. Terrific, terrific. A good ending. Okay, to my viewers, to my viewers, I want to say Randy is a really lovable guy and he wins the affection of people that he works with and that care for him. Do you want to say, we got three minutes left and I know you want to say something about that wonderful team you experienced. Yes, the team was incredible. After your final treatment, they hold a traditional bell ringing ceremony. And here you can see myself and my wife and Dr. Rossi. And actually I had my team come out on another right before this and ring the bell because I told them, hey, you're the guys that did it. All I did was show up and lie still. So they were really the heroes. To wrap it up for a wealth of information on proton therapy and what cap, what I call a cap, California protons can provide, be sure to visit their website which is CaliforniaProtons.com, CaliforniaProtonsAllOneWord.com. And then there's another site too, if you're diagnosed, which is an international site called the Bob, Brotherhood of the Balloon. And the site there is protonbob.com. And the meaning of Bob, Brotherhood of the Balloon is that in some cases they inflate a balloon before each treatment. Up your rear end to separate the rectum from the prostate so it can enable more precise targeting. I didn't have to have that because I had a gel put in that lasted the entire time. Oh, that's good. So to wrap it up, I would say, if you're diagnosed with it, don't panic, take action and be your own advocate because nobody else is gonna advocate for you. Excellent. Well, for those of you who look in with me for this program, I look forward to seeing you two weeks from now. If you're getting up at night, a lot to urinate and things just don't feel like they're functioning the way they used to, make sure you get your PSA tested, make sure you know what's going on with your prostate, it's possibly probably enlarged and then move along with this information that Randy has given to you. Thanks, Randy. It's been so great to appear together.  Oh, thank you. And so to you, our viewers, aloha, see you in two weeks and I look forward to that time with you. Come join me again there.

Do y'all guys believe in air conditioning? No, this ain't our facility. You stopped there. Yeah, this ain't our facility. You train, you training. How do you train it? Like when you train it, you don't be no AC and none of that. Do it? Not really, no.  When I was really young, I used to train. I used to get older, I trained smarter and not harder. OK.   I was ill.   And I was telling him I'm thinking about getting back in the fight game on 42. What do you think my chances are? Chances are nothing. Your chances are not as good if you don't dedicate everything you have. Oh, so Mike, you telling me I got a shot to get in the ring? Yeah. Now, I know Boots. I know Boots. And it's from Philly. And I told him, I've been talking to him like, yeah, I'll spar you, whatever. You think I should do that?   Yeah, I think you should go in there with him. And he should show you some of the ropes. What about, what about cool boys? So how much stuff away? 122. He weighed 122. I weighed one. Well, you should have known what I used to do when I was fighting.  Get out the way. So I might have a chance with stuff, didn't you say? If I get in the ring with him, I might have a chance to win the sparring match. You bite. No, you're just getting shaped. Oh, all right. But no, he's definitely not in shape. You keep telling me, you know, I get in that ring and do my thing. Listen to what I saw right now. Once before, I was in the baddest street. Everybody's scared of this. He ended up being a little simple. Pulling him his legs and going, oh, creepy. He would take these motherfuckers off of the whole different game. A tough guy, this is not a tough guy's sport. Tough guys go real hurt in this sport. This is a thinkin' man's sport. All right. When you're at this type of level of the game, only the smartest wins.

Chigory Robinson. Robinson definitely. I was gonna go, listen, I go all the way down to your Joe Gans, man. George Dixon, that's the first black champion ever. In the 1880s, 1902 or three, Joe Gans was a master. They called him the old master. I was reading a book about him in the longest fight ever because the longest fight ever on the markers of Queensbury for a championship was Joe Gans in Battle of Nelson. They were 42 rounds. Damn. After the fight was over, everybody discussed. And then at the chapter I talked, Joe Gans was telling him he sent a letter to the bellhop to send to somebody. But the people didn't know who he sent it to. But in the letter it said, it said the dog quit in the 42nd.  He said the dog quit in 42nd rounds.  He said this dog quit in the 42nd. He can't go the full distance. These guys are gonna finish fights to the end. 45 rounds, 60 rounds to whoever falls down. That's when it's over. The longest fight in history under the markers of Queensbury the way I used to fight was 110 rounds. And the reason why was a draw because all the bones were broken. They had to bump each other. And so they called it a draw. They couldn't pick their hands up anymore. 110 rounds. God damn, I can't do that. Termination and will. Good body. That's a different type of will. Yeah. What's the longest rounds you ever sport in the gym? 12. 12 rounds. Damn it. The alley and them used to fight 15 rounds. Listen, this is the whole thing with alley. Don't be thinking what you're gonna do to the alley. Make sure be prepared to go 15 rounds cause you're going with 15 rounds with him. All he beats a lot of guys just got an exhaustion. Right. You know, yes, yes, no.  Remember you're going with 15 rounds. It ain't gonna be no quick fight. I don't care who you are. It's not gonna be the overnight fight. 15 rounds. Do you think you could afford 15 round fights? Absolutely. I fought the last 15 round fights in history but it didn't go 15 rounds. Yeah, 15 seconds. Boop, boop. Probably, yeah. Yeah, probably, yeah.


H. Gardner's theory multiple intelligences Tefl teacher can incorporate the nine intellectual intelligences that determine to learn styles into the lesson plans for young learners and adults. These include the use of drawings and pictures for visual learners, math and logical games, for students who learn best using logic, music for learners who learn best when music is somehow incorporated into the lesson, gain aesthetic for students who learn best through psychological movement. Students with an interpersonal intelligence, one-on-one dialogue can be used, interpersonal, diaries can used, naturalistic intelligence national objects can be used in the lesson and existential intelligence can be considered when developing a lesson plan creating existential activities. The lesson ideally should be adaptable to the various types of intelligence and the different ways each one learns. Relevance Understanding Gardner's theory on multiple intelligences is useful in creating a syllabus that includes activities that cater to the various ways young learners are able to learn a new language and acquire knowledge. According to Gardner, there are nine various types of intelligence. Gardner proposed that there are eight bits of intelligence, and has suggested the possible addition of a ninth known as existentialist intelligence. If these types of intelligences are considered when forming a syllabus the lesson will be adaptable to the various learning styles of the various students. In this way, the students will work and learn at their full capacity and according to their individual learning nature, needs and instincts. Application Utilizing all nine intelligences in the lesson will encourage the students as the lesson will correspond with a student's style of learning. Learning a lesson that corresponds to the student's learning style will help the student to learn at their full capacity using their innate intelligence type. Each lesson or syllabus ideally should include or consider the various learning types or intelligent types found in students and the material should be adaptable to each type of intelligence type. This will make the lesson suitable for every student making the class more productive in the learning process. Various activities can be adaptable to the various intelligences and used accordingly in each lesson to suit all the learning styles of students. Learning the lesson to the various learning styles could potentially give the students more enthusiasm, positivity, and confidence in their learning as they are learning according to their personal style. The various styles of learning can be considered in the lesson at various levels. The nine learning styles according to garners are visual-spatial, linguistic, verbal, logical, mathematical, bodily, guine-aesthetic, interpersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal, naturalistic and finally existential intelligence. The engaged stage could include materials that stimulate the visual, spatial learner by including lots of visual pictures in the lesson plans, maps, charts, videos and lots of pictures can be included in the lesson. The lesson can be adapted to the age group and language level. Texts and charts can be used for more advanced students and simple pictures for very young learners or beginners. Description Linguistic, verbal intelligence reflects students who learn well with the audio. The lesson plan can include lots of audio such as storytelling, reading, memorization games, and lessons that require lots of communicative skills such as debates, writing, reading, and drama. Logical, mathematical intelligence is another form of intelligence where learners learn best where math and logic are used. The lesson could include math games and quizzes that require logic to solve. Games can be developed where the student will need to use their sense of logic and mathematical abilities and combining them into the tasks to acquire new language skills. Problem solving puzzles can be used for this type of learning personality or intelligence. Bottle-Econesthetic intelligence is another one of the gardener's types of intelligences. These types of learners learn through body movement. The teacher can create a lesson involving words or vocabulary using body movement. This type of lesson would be great for young learners as young learners are still developing psychically and learn best while they are using their bodies. They learn in motion. The lesson can include some activates where the language is learned through a psychical activate such as Simon says. Musical intelligence can be used also in the lesson where language is taught using songs, chants, playing drums or simply having music softly played in the background as the students learn the new language. Students who have a more naturalistic way of learning learn where they are put in an environment where they can connect to nature. They can learn best through things found in nature such as plants, trees, and other natural phenomena. Lessons that include nature would be best for students who have naturalistic intelligence. Natural objects such as plants and animals, rocks, minerals, can be brought to class and used in the lesson for these types of learners. A vocabulary lesson simply on natural objects can be formed for these types of students. Writing, speaking, reading, or listening to anything that involves nature would be suitable. Also read, how much can I earned teaching English abroad. Interpersonal intelligence is considered to be learners who learn thorough their emotions according to Garnor. Games and activities that stimulate the emotional part of the student could be used in a lesson. Suspense storytelling, trauma, poetry, and anything that stimulates the emotions can be used as part of an activity to enforce this kind of intellect. For young learners, a scary monster story would be appropriate or any type of material or theme that provokes the emotions of the learner. Arts and crafts would be a good activity to use for this type of intelligence. According to Gardner interpersonal intelligence are said to be people who learn best through activities that involve self-awareness. These types of learners according to Gardner do well where the learning environment involves anything to do with self-analysis and awareness. A lesson plan that may involve writing a diary, personal stories and experience, thoughts and ideas about life and things intrinsic to the individual and their personal life and experience would be best for these types of learners. Poetry, diaries, personal stories, and expressing life experience through drama or art would be a good activity for these learners. Learn new teaching methods taking a TEFL course. When considering a lesson plan a teacher can consider all nine types of intelligences and try to incorporate them all in the syllabus and lesson so all the students have the opportunity to be taught according to their personal learning styles. Students learning accordingly to their personal learning styles will make the class more enjoyable and efficient for in the learning process. The teacher can form the lesson including activities that correspond to the various intelligences where the student can learn best with material that appeals to their learning style and the material used can be adapted to the students learning style. Ideally, the teacher should try to incorporate all the various learning styles in all the lessons if possible.

Hello and welcome to the special CUBE Conversation. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE here in our Pella Alto studios. We're going across the pond, across the United States, then the pond to Bill Mu, who's the founder of Mu-era Consulting. We're going to talk privacy, and we're going to talk about the challenges with cloud, cloud scale, and also privacy. With the recent report, Facebook behaving like digital gangsters, as the report from the parliament came out, the huge focus on this big tech data problem around privacy and user rights. So Bill, welcome, good to see you. Thanks for coming on camera. I know you're in London area, so you're in the UK, so great to see you. Well, it's really great to join you, and I'm glad the technology's allowing us to chat from this great distance. Well, we'd love to bring the conversations, which are very robust on Twitter. Obviously, at Furrier, at Bill Mu, and all our friends, Sarbite, Tim Crawford, Stu Miniman, the whole set of cloud influence has been really talking a lot lately around digital transformation.  Oh, digital transformation, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's really about cloud. It's about cloud scale, about data. But now, as people start to realize the scale and some of these immediate benefits of DevOps and agile development, in comes the privacy conversation. In comes the, where's the data? The moving data around is expensive. Managing data and privacy is hugely expensive, and there are consequences. And one of the most obvious news stories, just in the past, you know, 24, 48 hours, is the parliament report that says Facebook has been acting like digital gangsters. Now, this puts it on the main stage. Unpack this for us. Well, I come from a cloud background, and I'm not a sort of rabid privacy campaigner by any stretch of the imagination. I've been a passionate supporter of cloud and worked with UK cloud who've been almost unique in being a company that took on Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the cloud market and beat them all at their own game. Here in the UK, we have a procurement framework that the government hosts called G-Cloud for public sector technology, and UK cloud captured something like 30, 35% of the market with Amazon way down on 12%. So it was almost a unique instance. I can't think of a single other market anywhere in the world where these guys have been beaten at their own game, sort of in the cloud market, but with a very specific niche. And the niche that K-Cloud focused on was differentiating themselves around data sovereignty, higher levels of assurance and security, and making sure that they're really sensitive government data, be it your tax records or possibly your criminal record if you have one, or medical records or whatever, all this data is kept safe. And it's really, it's been really interesting to see the news recently and some of the hysteria around privacy. I have seen as all of us have the tech revolution and the cloud and how all of this has come to fruition and enabled so much. And now we're seeing the tech backlash and I think that's at its full force at the moment. One of the trends that we're seeing, and I want to get your thoughts on this is that on the one extreme is users own their own data. And you got to see things like blockchain and some interesting progressive solutions around the supply chain of users owning their own data. And then just the natural trend of edge computing where the data is closest to the, whether it's the people or devices, the, you call it the internet of things or edge computing is now becoming part of cloud. And with the global distributed nature of how the cloud is built, the emphasis on regions. So you see, you know, certain every country has might have their own characteristics. How is this changing the digital transformation equation?  And then the other one saying, no, it should be all a vendor procurement decision, not so much a cloud decision. So there's kind of like two camps going on here. One saying, let procurement drive the decision. And the other one saying, let the apps or the workloads drive the architecture and cloud decisions. Your thoughts on this, this kind of mega trend of data at the edge, ownership of data, cloud selection. It's kind of a nightmare. It's kind of confusing your thoughts. I think we're definitely seeing an acceptance that we're in a multi-cloud world. I think there are hardly any companies out there that don't have an element of cloud in a number of different places. And that you may have dictated a strategic alignment about one particular cloud vendor, but you're bound to have some legacy stuff as well. You may well have some SaaS applications. You may have Salesforce or any other thing. And therefore by, by almost by default, almost every organization is in some form of a multi-cloud environment anyway. And therefore we need to accept that as a reality. And as what we've seen is a cloud migration and people taking various different workloads to the crowd, people have naturally started with the easy stuff, the low hanging fruit. So typically you're taking virtualized workloads to easy environments like a VMware cloud or something like that. You're taking net new, the sort of green field developments into sort of cloud native environments. And those are the sort of places where you're really breaking ground with all of this. And this is going to be leaving behind certain legacy applications, which is a sort of the really difficult stuff that you'll leave till later. And a lot of people have already cracked much of the easy stuff, the low hanging fruit. And they're now having to face up to the more difficult stuff. But I think one of the things you would need to be aware about here is that it's not just about a focus on applications and workloads. One of the things that you find is that typically you may have a few new applications that you're developing, you may sort of have the odd sort of change from time to time. But typically the number of applications you use and the nature of those applications doesn't actually change enormously. What does change is the data volume. So whilst people are overly focused on well which applications are going to be moving and in which order, not enough companies are actually thinking really seriously about well, what are we going to do with the data? People have budgets that are either stationary or possibly in decline and they have data volumes that are going through the roof. And the moment we have Edge and the moment we have 5G this is going to come home to really hold them. And you'd actually need to have a really sensible data strategy to get ahead of this problem. Otherwise you're going to be facing big ingress and egress charges because getting data in and out of the cloud isn't cheap. And also you're going to have integration problems. But on top of that, you have the privacy issue because a large chunk of that data is going to be sort of personally identified viable data. It's going to be the type of data covered by GDPR and possibly new regulations, whatever's coming up next in the US. A lot of the data won't be covered this because it'll be data that isn't privacy sensitive. But if you don't have a really sensible data strategy, first of all, you're not going to be able to deal with the massive growing volumes of data which are just going to get worse with 5G and Edge. But also you're going to face real problems with privacy if suddenly people say, I want this removed or I want that taken down or something like that. And you go, well, what on earth is it? How do I do that? Where's the story? What service is it on? So Bill, I got to get your thoughts on this. You mentioned migration tool in the news today. Google acquired cloud migration platform, Aluma, which has only raised 15 million in funding, shows that Google is trying to catch up. Amazon touts highly their migration tool for moving off Oracle. So you're seeing migration is a big part of it. So I want to get your thoughts on the cloud players. You got Google nipping at the heels of Azure, Azure nipping at the heels of AWS. And you got IBM and Oracle kind of kind of in the back falling behind. I want you to get your thoughts on the top three and then IBM and Oracle, do they have a shot? And your thoughts of IBM think was just last week. A lot of conversations around IBM and the cloud with their cloud private solution. Your thoughts, Amazon, Azure, Google, and then IBM and Oracle. I'm going to take this in two different ways. First of all, I'm going to say, well, here's what we're seeing at a general market level. And secondly, I'm going to say, well, what have I seen on the ground? On the ground, maybe I'll start with that. I worked in the UK public sector and we've been out there competing and winning a lot of business and doing really very well. One of the things that we've seen is that having established a lead in this market and a point where we're the people everyone are gunning for, which is stranger to be ahead of the big hyperscalers in this market. We found that Amazon and certainly Azure are all over our accounts. We almost never see a competition or any sort of capacitive bids from companies like Oracle or IBM that they're just not in the market. We don't see them at all. And certainly for IBM, in the UK, the finance sector and the public sector are meant to be the main markets they're focused on. And if we're not seeing them, we just got to worry about how credible they are in those markets. Now, if you look at a sort of global scale. Hold on, just to interrupt, we lost you for a quick second and it'll glitch on the screen on the connectivity. But did you mention Oracle, I mean Google? What's Google like out there in the ground? Anything? Okay, from a global perspective, there is obviously AWS or way ahead. You've got Azure, who are very credible second player and they've got a lot of strength. I mean, they've got a foot both in the public cloud but also in the hybrid cloud. I think you shouldn't overlook the strength of the Azure Stack offering. And also they've got an enormously strong partner ecosystem with CSPs and MSPs that are going to take a lot of their technology forward. So I think they're going to be credible across the space. Google are in an interesting position. I think they're investing heavily. They have deep pockets. They are some distance behind. I'm not seeing them in any competitive bids that we're entering into. So you've got to worry about how much traction they're really getting in the market. But they've certainly got very deep pockets and you shouldn't dismiss them. There are likes of Alibaba who, you know, they may not be present in this market at the moment, but again, you can't dismiss them. The companies that you possibly might dismiss as serious cloud players are maybe Oracle and IBM. Because we're not seeing them in any of the shortlist that we're up against. We're not seeing them in the market. We're not seeing them put in the level of investment, the billions of infrastructure investment that you need to have to keep up in this market. And I actually think IBM are in a very strong position. When I said earlier, we've moved a lot of low hanging fruit and then we're now getting onto difficult stuff. IBM have the services business to help the big companies with the complex migrations and the really challenging stuff. And I think that's where IBM is going to play. And I think they have a very strong role to play there. I just don't see them as a cloud player. And maybe we should just be describing them as a services company now. I want to get your thoughts on, that's maybe a little bit tangent to the cloud, but it's kind of related with multicloud on the horizon or actually here, everyone has a lot of different clouds. When you put the connective tissue together for multicloud, you can't help but ignore Cisco and VMware. Both have presence in enterprises. Thoughts around the network layer, get NSX on VMware, and you got also Cisco moving up the stack with their DevNet program, developer program, we're seeing a lot of action going on around the software defined data center as it relates to on-premise and multicloud. Your thoughts on that market, can you share any insights there? Yeah, I mean, I've come from a company that was hosting possibly the largest VMware cloud in Europe, and we're very familiar with some of these technologies. And I think VMware has had a very good position in the market. I'm not sure that they are going to be able to sustain that, we're seeing a lot of people who saw the ability to move virtualized workloads to VMware cloud environment as a compelling proposition. But that's a one-off shift, and the moment they have the opportunity to go cloud native, they're going to take it off. And I don't see VMware really holding the control point now that you sort of got VMware on all the different platforms, and it's being controlled by the likes of AWS and others who can sort of assist their customers to go into whichever environment within their state that they want. I think Cisco are coming from an interesting position where they've got us some really great security portfolio, and in fact, we've used a lot of their hardware, but I don't see them actually, again, having a particular control point in the market. Talk about, before we close out here, I want to get your thoughts on what's going on on Twitter.  What's the sentiment going on around digital transformation? Sarpit and the crowd all talking, Stu Miniman and I and Dave Vellante and the CUBE team and the whole community has really been chirp and obviously because IBM think was last week around the context of cloud on-premise digital transformation. What's the general sentiment in the social media channels that you're hearing? What's the top story? What's the most important story that's being discussed? You can't get away from the whole privacy debacle. I mean, we have seen the tech revolution. We're now seeing the sort of tech backlash where certain companies who have made big mistakes and many, many mistakes, I mean, Facebook, you can't avoid mentioning them and there are others, but Facebook at front and center, I think they have... Looks like we lost you a little bit there, Bill. Okay, you're back, you're back. All right, so final question for you. So if Facebook's the digital gangster on social networking, is there a cloud gangster? I'm not sure if I want to point to any fingers anyway. I think a lot of companies that are particularly muscular in the market and have a particular market position and you can't avoid looking at Amazon there, but I think there's going to be an enormous fragmentation. On one side, we're talking typically about a hybrid environment. You're talking about a mixture of public cloud and private cloud on a permanent edge and whatever. In the public cloud, it's going to be concentrated down to possibly three players and therefore they're going to have an enormous control. Then you look on the other side of the hybrid equation to the private legacy, whatever, that's going to be massively fragmented. I mean, companies like IBM who are... I'm going to be doing some of the complex migrations for some of the big organizations using their massive services army may have a control on some of the big instances, but there's going to be a massively long tail with all sorts of MSPs and CSPs providing bespoke solutions and value right down the chain. And that's where I think the channel ecosystems come into play and those companies that are cloud players that also have a strong channel ecosystem, they're going to be the ones that come out at the end of the day. I think the ecosystems right on, great point. Bill, thanks for spending the time joining us here on theCUBE conversation. I'm John Furrier with here in Palo Alto for a conversation with the influencers, experts around cloud privacy. This is the big deal. What are you doing with all that data coming in? How's it being managed? How's the value being created? This is the digital transformation challenge. It's theCUBE conversation in Palo Alto. Thanks for watching.


Coming to you from RGIS Studios, I am Anicia Antoine and this is your Midday News Brief. The Prime Minister of St. Lucia made a donation of over $450,000 in support of well-deserving causes and organizations. The monies were raised from donations received at this year's Prime Minister's Independence Ball. Prime Minister of St. Lucia, the Honourable Alan Shasne, expressed gratification towards the members of the different causes for their efforts and hard work. Causes that benefited include the Cornerstone Humanitarian Society, the Cerebral Policy Association, the Lady Gordon Opportunity Centre and the Blind Welfare Association. Linda Preville, Principal of the Lady Gordon Opportunity Centre, explained that the donations received will assist the centre with ongoing projects. The handing over ceremony took place at the office of the Prime Minister on Thursday, May 23rd, 2019. The Government of St. Lucia has signed a loan for US$50 million with the Government of Taiwan to commence the Island-Wide Road and Infrastructure Rehabilitation Programme. US$8 million will be allocated for the continued rehabilitation of schools this summer and to commence affordable housing projects. US$42 million will be spent to completely rehabilitate roads across the island, especially in the constituency of Gorzulae. This week, work commenced on the rehabilitation of the Forestry Road. The people of Shwazel will also shortly see the commencement of a much-needed rehabilitation of the Salty Bus Road. The National Conservation Authority, NCA, with the collaborative effort from the Office of the Prime Minister, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, Natural Resources and Cooperatives, the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, Local Government and Empowerment, and the National Apprenticeship Programme will be conducting training exercises targeting 120 individuals on the proper method of handling Sargassum seaweed for manufacturing as well as for disposal. These trainees are residents of four communities adversely impacted by the influx of the Sargassum, namely Dennery, Kuale, Miku and Vue Fort. The training exercise aims to prepare these individuals to participate in the implementation phase designed to last for nine months in the first instance. The NCA continues to work closely with Algas Organics, a local entity involved in converting Sargassum into value-added products by providing the company with over £160,000 of Sargassum. This Sargassum project will not only create employment for residents in the targeted communities, but also ensure that these communities do not continue to be affected by the large influx of the seaweed. This has been your media news brief. Thank you for watching.


CASPY, Collaborative Photon Processing for Active Single Photon Imaging, is a new technology designed to improve the performance of single-photon cameras by taking advantage of the correlation between photons. This technology can be used across multiple applications such as LiDAR imaging and LIF cell fluorescence imaging. It has been shown to work well in a variety of lighting conditions, including low-photon counts and high-ambient light. The technology is expected to become a standard feature in future single-photon cameras. This article was authored by Jong Ho Lee, Atul Ingle, Jenny V Choco, and others.


To do this type of simulations we're going to need to introduce a few other concepts first because it sounds easy that just take a protein structure. It's not quite that easy in practice. I'm going to start with something easier than a protein. This was a very old system coming from my days as a postdoc. I was working in the Bay Area, Stanford actually, and this was colleagues working at UC Davis. They had a company that they're working together with that was very interested in this system. So this particular system, what you have in the middle, is a so-called tannine, and these gray molecules are ethanol. So in fact, together with water, this is actually a simulation of red wine. This particular company was Gallo that provides, at least provided, significant funding to their unological faculty in Davis. And I'm a big fan of red wines. It was great fun to try to simulate that system at least. Unfortunately, we didn't get very far at the time. But this won't work because you need that the other part, right? We need the water, too. So what you rather should think about a system in this way, it's easier to see here than for a large protein. But do you see here that we probably have 80 or 90% of the atoms in this system corresponds to the atoms in the water molecules? So yes, technically, I'm simulating a tannine and some ethanol, but in practice, I'm mostly simulating water. This is going to be equally true for large proteins. In some cases, it's even worse for large proteins that more than half of the atoms in the systems are typically water. And if you're unlucky, it can be 80%. And that means that we typically make do with highly simplified water models to make sure that they're very fast. For instance, I typically ignore the Lennard-Jones interactions and the hydrogens and only include that on the oxygen. It speeds up the simulation a bit. The other problem I'm going to get here, though, is that here I have a surface between water and air or vacuum in this case. This is going to lead to strange surface tensions. So to get away from those surface tensions, I'm going to need to have a very large system, and you probably haven't seen square things in the lab. I would need to have some sort of sphere here. So that's going to be a gigantic system that I don't want those surface tensions in the first place. But maybe we can find a way around that by learning from physics, in particular, simple system in physics that have already solved this. Let me show you.


I won't lie, I'm tired, but this guy's still got energy moving around man. We are currently in Osu. I've never done anything like this before. If you live in Akra, I want to tell you where I started. I started from Marina Mall and currently we are in Osu. If you have walked from airport to Osu and you haven't sold anything, with your haircut that looks nicer than his, your YouTube t-shirt, and your whole name, Wodemaya. Oh nice one, Wodemaya. You couldn't sell. Couldn't sell. He has to buy. Then these guys, they're really struggling. They're really, really, really struggling. It was a struggle and I'm telling them that I don't think I'll ever do this again. So what we should do is today we should add some capital to the money that you have received, that you want to surprise him. So for me, my audience gave me, this is like from, it's coming from two people and I added something to it.  You cause traffic, man. You don't need to count the money but it's...  So, you know, the people that watched the first video, they said they love you and keep up the good work. They said I should give you this money. See, I didn't take a dollar out of it. Exactly the same. This is for you, bro. Okay. This is for you. Okay. God bless you. This is for you. So you add this to it. And so you can have foreign currency as well. Okay. Hey, you're rich. Thank you.  I don't know. You don't... $5,000. I'm from Ghana. Welcome back to, I was about to say welcome back to my channel. Welcome back to Maya's channel. I just wanted to show you, today I'm so early but does it count? Because Maya always wants to complain about how women are always late. I'm always late. Today he's late. In 30 minutes, it's been like two hours sitting around. He's doing one thing after the other. Like you're so late today. What are you doing? I'm telling people facts. I'm telling them what's been going on. How late you are today. What? We're supposed to have left like three hours ago. Yeah, but I was just calling the guy we're going to meet and he told me that he's not ready. So on your days there, you have a very good excuse. But on my days... This one thing I don't like about women, you know. I was supposed to go out by eight o'clock. It's nine. It's still not done. I'm sorry, but it's not my fault. I'm just sorry, but it's not my fault. It's okay, but if it was my name, they told you the same thing. But you're always late. So much for clicking. How are you doing? I hope you are doing amazing. I am doing great. If you're new to this channel, thank you so much for clicking. Join the family. Make sure you subscribe. Good morning guys. It's a morning. It's afternoon. It feels like I just woke up. It's one. But you were supposed to go out in the morning. Now it's lunch time. Yeah. I mean, we're supposed to meet him at ten o'clock. And I told him that we're going to meet this guy at ten o'clock. It's one. It's not my fault. I called him. No, Maya. Today you're late. I'm sorry. Yeah. It's okay. You're forgiven. That's what I wanted to hear. Yo, guys. How are you doing? I hope you guys are doing fine. I just want to know, have you liked the video? This is more like call to action. If you're watching this video for the first time, see me. Have you subscribed to my YouTube channel? My name is Wadamaya.  Who's on a journey to change the negative narrative about Africa by showing you positive stuff that are happening on the continent? Yeah. I actually vlogged last Saturday together with my fiance. We went out and I decided to share how I spent a day in Accra, Ghana. And I met this young guy who was selling finais. But to me, when I bought the finais, I just wanted to be nice. I gave him something small. So this is for you then. Hey, God bless you. This is for you. If that is the case, then this is for you. God bless you.  Thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. No, don't worry. I just want to see you happy, you know. So, give me that one. Give me this one. And take this one. Hey, boss. Yeah? Thank you. Yeah, okay, now. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you too, yeah. And most of you that watched the video were kind of impressed or inspired by my acts of kindness. I actually did not do that to inspire or motivate you. It's something that is within me that anywhere I go, I just feel like giving. So some of the things that I do, you don't even see it on camera. But that moment, I think the camera is on. And after that video, a lot of people have reached out to me telling me that how can they donate to the guy? How can they donate to the guy? And, yeah, I received some money from two people, which in total is 1200 Ghana City. I just want to add 300 to make it 1500 Ghana City and go and give it to this guy. This is actually at the exact location that I met him last time. So what you're going to do is we're going to go and see him. What do you think? I think that's really nice what you're doing. I'm excited for him. So I just want the two guys to come along with me. Let's go together. And you know what? Whatever you find yourself, try as much as possible to do something to put smiles on people's faces. That is my coat of the day. And I'll see you guys when I get there. I don't know why I'm super tired. But yeah, like the video, subscribe if you are new to the channel. My name is Watermind. This is the cash that the people sent to me and I've added my own to it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to call him to find out what he is and we're just going to give him the cash. So just want everything to be transparent. That's how I have to come with you guys. Just to come and see. I shall withdraw the money and I've added my own to it. So yeah, let's go come with me. Can you believe what's happening? You tired already? Looking for him, we've been looking up and down. I mean, this is the change in time. I'm calling this guy just to figure out where exactly he is because I've been talking to him since that I'm awake. I mean, and he told me that he's going to wait for me. So I don't know where he went to and it's not going through. Wow, we've really moved around in this hot Ghana sun. Hot Ghana sun and you still can't find him. What do you think we should do? I don't know.  So I guess maybe we have to go find something to eat. Yeah, go find something to eat and then come back again. Maybe he'll be back. Maybe he'll be back and pick the call. I've been waiting for the past two hours trying to hang around because he told me that he's going to be around this area. But after two hours, his phone is still off. I don't know what to do man. I think I need to terminate the mission for today and just head back home. What do you guys, what do you think? As a spirit of never give up. So we're just going to try it again and if he's not there, we'll go back home and probably come back here tomorrow. Man, I'm a bit disappointed because I just wanted to get rid of this and continue my day because I have a lot of videos to shoot. Oh my goodness. You know what? But I just want to ask you, have you liked the video yet? Just liked the video. I mean, but this part of Akra is extremely beautiful though. This is around the airport area. The love that I really have on the streets of Akra is mad man.  That's really incredible man. But hey, today is day two out here in Akra city and I'm still on the journey trying to give this guy his money man.  He said he's selling somewhere so I need to go and find him man. I'm striking for a Ghana here. Thanks for going so few bro. Wow. How are you? I'm good, how about you? You're wearing another jersey today. I finally found you bro. What are you doing for free? I think I got a new friend man. As soon as I got here, he decided to surprise me with a new fan logo. And he said I should try it out. What? I think you're a good person. I'm a good person. How? I'm a good person. I want to help you sell today. There's anything you call me to help you.  And I just want you to know how you're doing. I help you today? What are you selling? You're going out today? I'm going out. Okay, today I want to sell with you and then we'll go and have lunch, okay? I'll take you out to eat. Is that okay? Okay. You go. What's your favorite food? Any food. What are you going to sell today? I'm going round. So you'll be pushing this every day? Every day, what? It's not heavy? It's heavy, man. Let me check it out. Can I put this here? Okay, don't worry. So it's like... I'm going to drop it. Hey, so like this is what you do every day? It's not heavy? Every day. Every day? Every day, what? Bro, this is heavy, man. So you carry this every day? Every day, what? And at the end of the day, you make 20 cities to 30 cities. So today, have you made 30 cities already? No, don't worry. How do you do it? Everything is small, small. Everything is small, small. I like that. You know, that's how life is. You know, you start from small and then step by step. And go big. And go big. I love that mentality, man.  That is deep, man.  Wow, so you need to go small, small. Small, small. Like a tortoise. Yeah, a tortoise. You guys have no idea. If you live in Ghana, whatever he's telling you, you realize that that's not a small job, man. Like walking all day, man. That's interesting. But Ghana, working is not there. If you don't, this one is small, small. Oh. You don't get money and go and buy the food. See? Wow. So where are you going now? I'll pass here. I'll go here. Pass side? Uh-huh. Okay. Pass side. All right. Let's go then. I've got you. I've got you. I've got you. Okay. All right. So you've been spending the whole day with him? Nah, I've been spending the whole day with him. What's the agenda? Uh, the agenda is just to find out ordinary Ghana and who struggle on the street. How much are they making a day? So, literally that's what I'm doing. So we just want to see how people bite things from them. We help them and I'm saying. Exactly. That's amazing, man. Yeah, normally we go with the pie. But you don't have the pie. He doesn't have the pie today. Yeah. But it's a good combination. Exactly. Nice to meet you sir. Your name is Carl. All right. Okay. You're not tired? Oh, I'm tired so much more. You're tired so much more? Then I need to help you then. Oh. Don't need to help you. Don't let me help you. This is the time. Get to me. I'll help you out. Don't worry. No, we'll be working for the past three hours, man. Hurry up. Hurry up. I'm going to be three city. I'm going to be three city, huh? I'm going to be three city. I'll be too cool. Hey, city. I don't get changed, man. Because of my work. Because it's your work. That's why I don't have time sweating already, man. Because my work... I'm tired. Oh, okay.  You see? Wow. If the thing... If I tell the somebody, man, I'm tired, the thing is finished. I'm tired. The thing is finished. I'm not tired. So you mean if the thing is not finished, you are not tired? The thing is finished. I tell the somebody, I'm tired. The thing is finished. I'm not tired. What am I? Oh. I mean, I'm just going to tell you guys, man. It's really not easy moving along with this guy. Do you want to do this all your life? No. I don't want. You don't want? Uh-huh. Why you don't want? I don't have another way. The money, if you get the small money and do the... and buy the... the taxi and do the... the taxi and do the... Small, small. We better than this. This one?  So which means the money you make, you just use it to go and buy food and it's done? Uh-huh. Wow. But let me ask you. So how will you know that people want to buy? Like, you have to pass specific places? Uh, if you go to... the people will buy a small, small. So where are you going? So there are people who buy plenty. What are we going to say?

But I'm like, how? So I decided to pull out my 100 city from my pocket, and I gave him. As soon as I gave him the money, he started saying go bless you, go bless you. All the time, saying go bless you. And I watched the vlog, sent me money to go and give it to him. So before I give him the money, I wanted to just vlog with him for a day. That's all. And then we've been moving around from the airport, walking on foot. How much ice cream have you sold today? Not even 10 cities. I'm not even here. From airport to here, not even 10 cities. Let's ask this man. How much ice cream have you sold today? 20, 30 cities. 20, 30 cities? How much is an ice cream? How many cities? So you sold 15. No, no.

So what we should do is today we should add some capital to the money that you have received that you want to surprise him. So for me, it's coming from two people and I added something to it. This is for you always. Some people say that she can't even give you money. Hey. You cost traffic man. You don't need to count the money.

Are you looking for me? God bless you. You should go and call me. We're living in a small world. This morning when I woke up, I decided to wear this T-shirt just to support our food channel because the organizers are coming. And you know that I love supporting anything after that. And can you believe it? I was called up to come and try potatoes and fish and guess who is here? The founders and organizers of our food channel. Right here. Thank you for advertising them with all of today. I guess I need to take their money. What do you guys think? Is this going to be your first time? First time eating like this man. How? And you know this family from the UK decided to sponsor this meal today. I ran into my YouTube subscribers and they followed me and I had to follow them back there just to come and see what they are doing. And what are you guys doing in Ghana? Ghana's first fish and chips shop. Ghana's first fish and chips shop. It's a tradition. Because it has to be traditional. You learn how to cook it traditionally? Yes. So there's a way that it's done traditionally so everything has to be fresh. So the potatoes, the chips come from an Irish potato. So we peel it, we cut it, we parboil it then we deep fry it. Yes. So where are you guys located? We're in Osu, right behind number 1 Osu Street. Can you do delivery too? We do delivery wherever you want. As long as you're within a crowd. So just, you want to wash your hands and enjoy yourself man. Please, is there any place he can wash his hand? Oh yes please. So happy man. Okay. Nice sir. Thank you. Enjoy. I shall help you egg. I'll help you. I'll help you. I'll help you. I'll help you. I'll help you. I'll help you. It's going to win your English. What's the name? It's the name. I'll call. Wow! What's your name? I'm Zouis.  Go back there because obviously they've sent me to you because You know I was also not supposed to be here. That's wild. So it was meant to happen. I just wanted to meet that Mr. Ambassador. I mean, we... No, no. Tourism Ambassador. No, give me a car, man. You cannot run away from me. He's laughing at me. Why should I laugh at your husband? Car, man. He's laughing at me, man. No. I mean, do you know that when I woke up today here, all I wanted to do is to promote Afrucela. You know, I've never put on this shed before. Really? Never. This is my first time wearing this shed. Oh, God. Here we are. So I guess I was supposed to meet you so that I can take money from you. How much are you going to take from me? How much do you want to give me? I mean, as much as you want, bro. Hey, man, I love that. And I love that. But I just did it out of love, man. No, I appreciate it, though. Can you tell us more about Afrucela, though? You know, Afrucela has been basically a cultural experience, just showcasing Ghana and our talents and basically everything that we do to promote ourselves. I mean, it started about maybe five, six years ago, and it's not just me.  We came together and decided to create something that would have cultural relevance, something that would accept people trying to come back home. But more importantly, just create a place where we could congregate as a people and just come together and help each other grow. So that was initially the idea for Afrucela. So a lot of businesses have actually been formed from Afrucela. You know, like when you come to a cultural village, you see a lot of businesses are in there. A lot of SMEs, we always support, you know, basically trying to help other businesses grow. So that's literally what Afrucela stands for. What should we expect from these years Afrucela? Well, we're doing something we've never done before. We're doing two years. We're doing two days. So day one and day two. If you've been to Afrucela, you realize that sometimes it's not enough for one day. I mean, I think people have always said like the one day thing doesn't really work. Exactly. We want to make sure that this time around, everyone's able to experience some of the activations that we have on the field. Some people come during the day. They don't even know that, you know, some people actually come for the daytime. Some people come for the nighttime. So we are hoping that we can divide the different experiences into two different days. But we're still working on it though. I'm sure very soon we're going to communicate what that's going to look like. Thank you so much for talking to me. But you're message for Africans, man. I think we should just unite as a people. A borderless Africa is always what I've always looked forward to. I just got back from Rwanda and it was an amazing experience. And I think that as Africans, we should really stop segregating ourselves when it comes to we're just the same people basically. So whether it from Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, shout out to my folks over there. I think that a borderless Africa is my ultimate dream and hopefully we can make that happen. And what do you think will happen if Africa becomes borderless? Man, that is, I think that's where the magic of the world is going to take off. You know, Africans believe in each other, Africans support in each other. And if we just unite, I mean, even individually, we're powerful. So imagine if we just came together and showcase ourselves in a much better light. Honestly, thank you so much. Thank you, boss. It's nice meeting you, but I'm still coming for my money. Come for your check. Appreciate it. Thank you. Representing Africa challenge. So we wanted to join you in with the love that you are showing this young man. Because we think that love is something that should be replicated and shared. So we just want to gift him some fried rice. We know in Ghana here we love fried rice. And you have your pepe and you have your fish, OK? We just want to give that to you because I think what Wadamaya is doing for you, if we can be a small part of that blessing, this is your blessing and your calling. So we want to just gift you that, OK? Today. All right. Today they'll enjoy you. Take your time when you're chopping, OK? Today they'll enjoy you. So I think you are full now. So you have to take this home. Thank you so much. No problem. No problem.  But I don't even know what. Money? Let's make it happen. I don't even have... OK. You know what? I'm going to give you a number. And then you send... I'll be following you. Yeah. Hey! Today is your day, man. Today is your day. Hey! You have to say thank you to this man right here, man. God bless you. God bless you. See that? I'm wearing his t-shirt, you know.  That's amazing, man. Hi, Titi. Did you get some money on the phone? No. Just now. Check. Wow. So, yeah. He just sent you a thousand. So I'm just going to take you to the bank and give you another thousand, OK? I told you. Hi, Titi. OK. All right. Bye-bye, Titi. All right, bye. Yeah, hi.  One thing about me is, like, I just feel like I have to do this.  I hate to hear that, no. I don't know why, but... No, you're just starting a bit with your voice. Ah, you should own me. God is giving you. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, you know. I feel like it's a calling, yeah? And I have to honor it, so... You know my sons, right? My sons have been coming together once. You know, did I not tell you? I'm a true Daniel.  You didn't say that? Yeah. I'm like, I know where my roots are. This is what I wear. Pan-African. Pan-African heritage will be there. Yeah. So I'm a member. Yeah. What I'm saying is, my kids have been coming here all this time, so they've been through the language a little bit, right?  I want friends. When we tell them about Ghana... Yeah, I just think that. They get a little bit, but because they're watching you on YouTube and seeing the things you're doing, the things you're taking them, it's a whole different story. She just gave me 20 pounds just to give it to him. So now, today you're receiving a lot of foreign currency. Yeah! Thank you. God bless you. Sister, God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Oh, God bless you too.


Essential tremor is a common movement disorder. It's a neurological condition that causes involuntary shaking, typically of the arms and hands. The shaking makes it difficult to perform basic tasks, such as writing, eating, and drinking, so it can significantly impact people's quality of life. In most cases, the symptoms get worse gradually over time. There are no definitive tests for essential tremor, so it is diagnosed by ruling out other possible conditions that could be causing similar symptoms. This is done through physical examination, reviewing your health history, and by conducting some laboratory tests. Neurologic tests can also be performed, such as testing your ability to write, eat, or drink. For some patients, medications may help control the shaking. For those who are no longer getting good symptom relief with medications, we have two main surgical options. Deep brain stimulation and gamma knife. Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure where we place an electrode in the part of the brain that controls the tremor. This wire is then connected to an implanted device similar to a pacemaker. This procedure is discussed in greater detail in another video in this series. Some patients may not tolerate surgery well or may not be comfortable with having an implanted device. For those patients, gamma knife offers a less invasive alternative. Despite its name, gamma knife is not a knife and does not require us to cut into the skin or the skull. It is an outpatient procedure that is safer than open craniotomy and more precise than any other radio surgery device, including cyber knife. We direct 192 beams of gamma radiation from multiple directions to pinpoint the VIM nucleus, a part of the brain that modulates tremor. Because each beam is a low-dose beam, it doesn't harm the surrounding tissue. However, at the point of convergence, they are powerful enough to alter the VIM nucleus and reduce or eliminate the shaking. Patients typically go home the same day and resume their normal activities the following day. Mid-Michigan has the only gamma knife perfection device in Michigan. We now offer gamma knife treatment for patients with essential tremor and our patients have experienced good symptom relief after treatment. If you or someone you love may benefit from this treatment, you can call our Gamma Knife Suite to arrange a discussion.
