Would you like to pick a question? Hello there, my beautiful delightful internet friends. I'm very excited to have a real life friend with me today This is on the cut the amputee you can find on YouTube and Instagram So as you can probably tell from this video, we are both Right below knee amputees and I'll be honest before I was an amputee I sort of didn't think about amputee's life all that much and I kind of assumed that People's experiences were at least somewhat similar if they've both had elective bologna Amputation surgeries on the same side and are the same age, but I don't think that's actually accurate from conversations I've had so today we are gonna be going through some commonly asked questions of leg amputees and seeing if our answers are identical Super different see if we agree disagree I even made a cool bowl of actual questions to make it look trendy in YouTube. She's like, I want to be involved You can go and now say he's jealous. All right, I'm gonna pick a bad one. I'm gonna do it Please do Is there anything you can't do as an amputee? I don't have questions. So I I if you watch my YouTube if you see my Instagram. I am very active I do a ton of sports. I compete in track field shooting swimming archery snowboarding I also do gymnastics. I also surf I also rock climb like I do pretty much anything I want to do I will say I did get really sad one time when I realized I can't do ballet anymore Oh, yeah, because I did ballet my entire life and without ankle flexion It's really hard to do something as simple as a plie. Oh and roller coasters. I don't know if you know this Oh, I've wondered about roller coasters actually. They actually have a specific rule that says as an amputee You cannot ride. I'd probably say about 90 percent of rides. You can look to see which ones, but it's because There's some rides that you have to be strapped in at the ankle So they're a liable if your leg falls off, but you think like oh, I'm an amputee I can just take my leg off, but if you have to strap at the ankles and you have one like hanging and It's just a whole thing and it's a lot of ignorance and a lot of people like I do know amputees who want to rest their chances We're long pants, and they're like, I was like, there's no way this is coming Oh, yeah, like with skinny jeans on and the sleeve you absolutely could but Also in the case that your leg flies off in the middle of the ride You're without a leg and they're not liable and maybe I killed someone with it So yeah, I always feel like everyone's like there's nothing that you can't do with a disability Did you hear her fart too? No, my dogs are farting on you. There's dog hair everywhere She's just like, what do you look at me for? So after that horrendous gas attack from my dog Yeah So I always feel like people are like there's nothing that you can't do with a disability or whatever and the reality is There are some things that you actually can't do one thing the only thing that I discovered is mixed martial arts fighting like full contact like like UFC like I used to do that I did that for two years. I did MMA fighting and you can't kick people in the head with a carbon fiber You know well engineered carbon five. It's super lame because I love it I love that stuff so I could still like train with bags or whatever But actually kick people in the head for recreational purposes anymore. Yeah, you are so in the way Do you think you could I will say if you ever gotten a real fight like that's the first thing coming off It's gonna be with it. So if you do you want to take the next one? Oh, how long after your amputation did it take to get active again? I'll start this one off since I pulled the question It took me a lot longer than I expected to it was a pretty pretty Fine audio quality is just trash from dogs in this. It was a pretty long recovery for me I think I started sort of like being able to kind of get up and around and do normal things at like Six to eight weeks I could like go, you know see a movie when we were allowed out in public or things like that But I didn't get active active again probably until four months after my Revision so it took me a while to like start walking and then maybe like two months more to start hiking and then like another month Just start doing things like a ninja gym or experimenting around. How about you? I was in the military when I lost my leg and they don't really care about your feelings What you can't can't do you're you're just gonna go like field day It's a very in-depth cleaning that you do once a week and they like come around with the white blood to check your room I was still doing that the week after my amputation. Wait, seriously. Oh, wow. Yeah, so I mean you make it work I actually It was six or seven weeks post amputation. I did my first Competition and it was an international competition. It's such a badass. I'm so lame in comparison No, I just I had I have resources being in the military, which I did most of my stuff still seeded I did wheelchair track. I did wheelchair rugby Swimming and archery that competition. Yeah, I actually went dancing. I do West Coast swing. Yes, that's right I went dancing before I could even walk without a cane wasn't the best idea I did So our recovery times on that fairly quite significantly. Yeah I think I just think it's interesting like everyone recovers differently and has different complications or lack thereof That's awesome. I was very lucky to have not have complication. I remember watching yours. Yeah Poor Joe I'll get there when I remember watching a video.  It was like one day But it felt so far away. Yeah, so it's very inspirational for like it's very like a goal setting like I'm going to get back to doing things What in your life is easier slash harder because of amputation? That's a loaded question, right? That's basically a what's different about your life. Yeah being at the airport So I I tend to travel my wheelchair just because airports are big and I Just never know like the place. I'm going. I just like to have my wheelchair with me So being in a wheelchair you get a board the plane first So yeah, seriously, you don't have to worry about like the Southwest like exactly 24 hours before I'm gonna be there Check in real quick. Yeah, so it's little things like that that I'd say are easier handicap parking is always a nice benefit especially like busy places, but yeah, I'd say probably the hardest things are just stairs and ramps and then days like so when I take off my leg for the day, I have a wheelchair friendly Apartment, yeah, so I take off my leg for the day I can do whatever I want, but then when people like let's go out and do things I already took my leg off. Yeah Seriously, like just having the motivation to do things at the end of the day because I just get tired Yeah, I'm like I already washed my leg. I don't want to wash it again Yeah, I think the the airport thing is definitely one that comes to mind for me too It's going through airports like it takes a while because I'm not super fast anymore But like getting through security is great getting on the plane Being able like get situated get my leg off before people sit down if I feel like it like that's that's really nice I mean, there's like a variety of things that are that are harder But the only thing that ever really comes to mind is like just the basic daily tasks Like if I want to like if I'm upstairs working and I want a glass of water And I'm taking my leg off because it's uncomfortable I have to like suit up and then like get down the stairs get a glass of water then get back up So it's like those little like yeah, most of it you just adjust to though. I think yeah How do you feel about the word disabled? I always feel like this is a loaded question because people have lots of different thoughts and feelings on it I don't have a problem with the word I think I think people think that it's like a dirty word or Not a slur, but like a bad thing to call someone. It's to me. It's not at all It's just descriptive of like there are certain abilities that are different for me There are other words like handicap that have different implications like handicap definition of it implies that like success is more difficult or something like that and like I don't agree with that But being disabled meaning that some abilities are different are restricted is a hundred percent accurate And it's not a bad thing to call someone in my mind. What do you think about that word? So I was in the Marine Corps. Yes. Oh, yes So I guarantee you the things I call myself would be offensive to people I'm like the word disabled to me is just like it just comes with the territory like I even handicap I know like you're not a fan of the word, but I have handicap part. Yes. Yeah, I see that too Yeah, very much. I've never cared about the word disabled I honestly kind of think it's annoying when people like try to like change it be like, oh, you're differently able Stuff like that. I'm just like just call it as it is Yeah, you're the people that are offended or people it doesn't even affect. Yeah seems like they're like They're like well my cousin. I'm like cool. Well, I'm the one that has the amputation. So yeah, I want to acknowledge it I don't care differently abled as one that really frustrates me because it seems like it like once to show Coated or make it seem like being disabled is like bad. It's like no, I'm not differently abled I'm missing a leg which means things are gonna be different like it is a disability, but that's not like a bad thing to say What is the weirdest part about being an amputee? I don't know if it's the weirdest part But one of the things that just comes up a lot is as an amputee everyone thinks you know every amputee that's ever existed Oh my gosh, that's so accurate. They're like, oh my uncle has a friend who's the amputee. I'm like cool You know Bob, right? Assuming that I know everybody who's an amputee That's probably the weirdest thing for me. Well, of course, you know all the people missing limbs I'm like I don't you may notice since our last shot some of the scenery has changed one of my dogs leaked on the couch So now we get Nicholas staring deep into your eyes.  No when I sweat it smells real bad There's something wrong with me This is what I discovered I have a problem. Like you're prosthetic or you're liner. My liner. Okay.  Like the liner? I get so sweaty and it like drips sweat inside your liner. Yeah, so that's an odd part. All right What do you wish people knew about amputees that they don't? I think a lot of people and maybe I had this assumption too a lot of people assume that like being an amputee is a Significant part of my identity. It's really not it's just something that's a part of my life And I obviously have YouTube channeled out so I talk about those issues But in daily life aside from me adjusting to things like being an amputee doesn't come up that much I think a lot of people think it's like 70% of someone's identity if they're dealing with some kind of disability What in fact that's really not the case. I'm actually the opposite. Yeah I think being amputee is a big part of who I am. Yeah, how I present myself like I love showing off my leg I love talking to people about it. I think it's the biggest thing Hunter Woodall actually just didn't talk about this About how kids like stare at you and whenever you're just out in public And I'm like honestly the worst part is the parents I think the thing that I want most people know about amputees is well This is the consensus I've come to if somebody's out and about showing off their leg Yeah, they're okay with you coming up and asking about it They don't have someone talk about their story, right? But if they ask like how does that work especially kids like how how are you walking on that? Like I'm fine with that or even how how does this connect your leg? Yeah, if somebody's wearing long pants and you like see a sliver of a prosthetic ankle They probably don't want to talk about it. Yeah, so I'd say as an amputee I can't speak for everybody I'd prefer people to come up and actually talk to me and have a conversation with me like a normal person about being an amputee rather than staring and like Shunning your kids from even looking because it's such a bad thing to be disabled in public. Yeah I think that's a really important one because when you do that and I've seen parents do that all the time Or like a kid will say something and be like Don't ask questions, but you do that and you create this aura of amputees are weird or scary because we can't ask questions and like, you know, it's the other and so yeah I totally agree. I think that's so important also found it helpful to like ask Like if I'm not talking to other even if I am talking to another amputee being like, can I ask you a question instead of just being like Hey, what's that or whatever? Kids are different, but like adults. Yeah, but that's interesting Yeah, because if you're wearing shorts and you're showing it chances are you might be more comfortable Maybe no can't think for everyone, but yeah, no, it's just out. It's a good gauge. Yeah, I like that How often do you see a prosthetist? well We're actually kind of talking about this a little bit ago because I am retired military I have the option to see my prosthist as much as I want There was a time when I was literally going to see a prosthetist every single day to make minor adjustments Especially at the beginning. Oh, yeah, for sure at the beginning you see a prosthetist a lot but even now I I'm very fortunate because I literally go into Joanne's find new fabric and I'm like I want a leg with this Fabric on it. This would look pretty. Yeah Another fabric that I like that I want different feet attachments for so I just walked into my process. I'm like I want this So for me, that's an option. I know for people that are not military have a much different Yeah, honestly, sometimes I just go and hang out with them. Yeah, I really just go if there's a problem I'm having like fits bad or I want a new foot and so just getting readjustments on that and no once every couple months I think I haven't yeah, I don't I don't see my prosthetist anymore unless I'm like up there and just drop by and say hey or Unless something's wrong. I probably haven't had to have it adjusted in like three or four months But right at the beginning it was like it was it's a hike for me It's about a 60-minute drive to see my prosthetist But I'd still go out there at least once a week to get you know The next step or get this adjusted or fitted or my leg had shrunk so much that I needed to have a whole new socket again Yeah, so I think that that varies but tends to even out for most people that like you don't have to see them every week anymore At a certain point.  One when I first got my leg off I was in a shrink or sock as on crutches.  Oh my god. I had a kid do the same thing. I thought it was the cutest thing Yes, but my other favorite one this happened recently. I was running and my running blade is very skinny It doesn't look like a normal leg.  She's wearing skis. Oh my god And her mom's like yeah, it's skis like she didn't even bother to explain She was so excited that this girl was out here like skiing on this trail in the middle of summer I've been lucky enough not to have any like mean reactions in public like no one's ever been like openly Aggressive or hostile or insulting towards me Online's a different story, but just one liner. It's not super nice all the time. Most of you are absolutely delightful I appreciate you being here except you Jim. Yeah, Jim. What are you doing here? What is the best thing best VES T? Decapitalized best about being an amputee. I've had so many opportunities I would have never so like like I've said a million times I retired from the Marine Corps at 23 years old Yeah, who retires from the Marine Corps who retires from anything at 23. Yeah, yeah, seriously So just things like that just the trips I've gone on the people that I've met and filming a YouTube video with Footless Joe right now, which feels so special The events I go to the sports that I do Yeah, I think the biggest thing is opportunities that I've had for me It's probably the conversations that I've been able to have and like the people I've been able to meet and the platform that I have that I Sincerely doubt I would I wouldn't have anything similar to this had all of this not happened Super super grateful for that. It's also always a conversation starter. I like having conversations with people I like having even real conversations with people and I feel like it's a gateway To kind of break the ice with people where you might not have been able to either But yeah, opportunities are definitely huge. Oh This is when I'm pretty sure we're different on what is phantom pain like for you? Oh, that's right. I was there. I made up the rule, but I can't remember them. So I do have phantom pain I've had phantom pain since Pretty much how I was probably a week or two after my amputation. I was like, oh, that's what's going on When the amputation like cast came off it got really bad It was like horrible for seven weeks It felt like the bottom of my foot that no longer existed was constantly getting stabbed with a cattle prod like days Sucked and there was no really medication that could help that because normal pain medications Don't really touch phantom pain because it's nerve pain is pretty specific There are some but they didn't work well for me But eventually through like me or therapy and through like, you know massage all kinds of things I was able to kind of get it under control where I still have phantom pain every day Sometimes my ankle will really ache sometimes it'll feel like someone's like cutting the side of it I had a weird phase where I felt like someone was paper cutting in between my toes, which was awful But most commonly I'll just get like electrical shocks where it's really painful for like three seconds and then I'm fine I don't have phantom limb pain.  I don't know if yeah If that's why it was so successful for me like don't get me wrong I was in a ton of pain for about eight to nine weeks Yeah, but literally overnight it dropped off like I woke up the next morning, and I'm like, huh It's gone. Oh, that's crazy. That's so cool. I feel very grateful that I don't have phantom limb pain Yes, I hear how bad it is and one lucky ones. I guess. Yeah. No, I think that's awesome I was talking to Josh Nolan is someone else who I interviewed on the channel a while ago and He's a baloney amputee survivor of the roar of theater shooting and I asked him about found pain He was like I never had any I'm like that's amazing And I talked to some people who were like I can barely live with it And so there seems to be this huge spectrum of you don't know how your body's gonna react Everyone's different and so sometimes you have it sometimes it goes away sometimes it gets real bad And it's it's just a roll of the dice your attorney dear Do you have any fears about growing older as an amputee? My biggest fear as an amputee, which is something that you will not have to worry about because you've talked about it It's being pregnant as an amputee. Sure. It is a very big fear of mine because I mean I've never been pregnant, but I know people who do get pregnant and typically your ankles swell your legs swell things swell With a set socket There's not a lot of room for swelling and you don't hear about a lot of pregnant amputees because yeah Just as a majority there's more male amputees. Yes, that never have to worry about it Dealing with pregnancy as an amputee terrifies me. I do know two women now who did We're pregnant as an amputee. Yeah, so it was nice to see that it is possible and prosthetists will work with you And there's options But that's really the only fear I have as an amputee. I'm not worried about getting old I mean my body's already breaking down. What's the worst that's gonna happen?  I realized that like whenever I'm getting out of the car lately I'm always like Yeah, I think that's I mean that makes a lot of sense to me and on like we I've talked about this in videos before like we don't We don't want kids at least at this point neither brand I have a desire especially to have biological kids, but you know things happen And if that ever did happen that would terrify me. I yeah, I think I mean people obviously do it And it's incredible, but there there are a lot of complications like your center of balance totally changes And it's just it's just different I do have this like lingering fear that I'll eventually have to have like an above me amputation because something will go wrong You know because the pressure on it or whatever, but I think that's more in the logical fear than anything How many legs do you have what is your closet of legs look like Send you a picture What you're going first you keep doing And there to games was a question I know I now have three But I have two that are put together. We'll save the third one for an upcoming video But yeah, I have a biking leg and then I have this leg that I use for literally everything else So I have one Have a lot of legs. Yeah, this is my This is what I call my gymnastics leg. It has the flower all pro on it This is my favorite walking foot. I can do back flush back handsprings fun things with this leg Um, I have two running blades one for road running and one for track running. Oh cool I have okay. I should probably count. Yeah, I have another socket with something called a coupling system on it Which is I wish I brought it so I could show but it like there's like a pin that you can unattach so you keep the socket on But you can trade out feet because I have so many feet So it's just super useful, but with that one. I have one standard foot I have a beach foot which we just took. Oh, yeah Like a normal foot and just took off the foot shell put trend on it. So you don't have to worry about water I have my snowboarding foot rock climbing foot. Oh, yeah. Oh and a heel foot I have the foot that I can wear adjustable heels. Yes. I was actually wearing heels last night. I look cute as for Sockets which is this part the part that goes over my leg. I only have two. I'm getting a third one made That's pretty. I guess I have seven or eight feet. Cool I feel like that number obviously varies for everyone too But but most people most people most amputees that I know have at least a couple because One foot doesn't work for everything like you were saying like she is one for heels I can't wear heels in this because it doesn't adjust, but there are other foots that allow you to do that I can go hiking on like pretty intense trails with this because I was a lot of mobility and it's awesome Some feet are really just for like road walking and you know flat flat short distances There's huge variety in the types of feet you can purchase which is a weird sentence to say Purchasing feet. I was like telling somebody about all the feet I have and they're like, well, this is lame. I only have two. I know You're weird two footer. She's like an eight footer. I'm like a four one two three five footer How has amputation affected your friendships or relationships when I first had my amputation? I was dating a guy and he had a really hard time with adjusting to it Yeah, because my way of coping is making jokes. Yes, and even to this day I often if I'm not wearing my leg will wave at people with my stump. It's cute You do weird people out. It's great. Yeah, but I just thought it was fun So that really affected us we eventually got over it But then we ended up breaking up whatever but friendships It doesn't really affect because like even though it is a big part of my personality It doesn't affect me except for the fact that a lot of my friends can get uncomfortable with the staring because when you're on Oh, sure. It's just inevitable. They're going to stare at you Yeah, which in turn whoever you're with they're going to stare at as well So as long as they get over that at some point you just block it out. You just don't know this anymore That's very true.  Yeah, he is an above me amputee And so we get extra stares. Yeah, seriously. It's a good time Initially, it really affected it because just people aren't used to it But once people actually get to know you it doesn't really do anything. Yeah for the most part Going through this hasn't had a significant effect on my friendships for sure It's had an impact on my relationship only in that we'd like had to go through all of this together I think both Brian. I have really grown. I'm really I'm so grateful that he's gone through all of this with me But an absolute rock star, but I think I had one friend who after I announced that I was having an invitation We're pretty good friends. She never she's never spoken word to me again Really? And I still don't know why it was yeah, it was very very bizarre She just completely disappeared out of my life So I don't know if she was really uncomfortable with that or just uncomfortable with someone going through something like that or had a bad Experience with amputees. I don't I will never know bad experience I've had I've had a number of friends tell me that like I always have to remind myself that you're an amputee Because I just see you as Joe. I can just get to know your friends as friends. I do think that some relationships It's been it's it's uncomfortable for me to articulate my limitations sometimes like that's something. I'm still working on being like That's awesome.  But sometimes having to be like here my limits can get uncomfortable in relationships But it doesn't usually make them uncomfortable It's just something I have to get over so somebody asked me to go running with them recently And I'm like like I can but you have to understand that I'm going to have to stop and drain the sweat out of my leg every like Exactly just how it works. So even being able to do Normal activities you just do a little bit differently than people do so there we have it the similarities and differences between two Below-knee amputees That's right. Yeah on the right side as well. We're twinning. Also, we agree that purple is a favorite color I feel like that's a very important aspect to all of this So thank you for listening. Let me know what you think in the comment section down below Were you surprised at any of our answers? Did they make perfect sense to you? Do disagree if you're an amputee I would love to hear from you. Thank you guys for being here. Thanks for listening Make sure that you check out Annika on her Instagram. I'm gonna pop it up on screen right here She's absolutely fantastic close really cool videos and also super adorable I mean, so it's a it's a win-win win all around but thank you for watching I love you guys. I'm thinking of you and we will see you in the next video

Here we go. Pristine's time consuming. That's all right. Beautiful product, though. Try to rip through the beat of it. Where's the CPR? Open the other. Unpackaging them. It's three separate packs to rip. It's a tough one. So, just the Royals left in our next pristine break and then we have Prism basketball. Three different six box half case breaks.

I used to, um, when I was breaking between breaks, I would, uh, drink a bag of chips.  But it's not that idea. It's playing on like a beer. I used to do that, like, when I'd take working lunches and energy drinks or PEDs for breakers. Well, let's see if I pull anything, pull anything crazy here. If I do, then, uh, hit up Monster for a sponsorship. There you go. We should be. The amount of people that drink monsters in this, uh, in this place, we should be. Thank you.

have something super exciting to share with you. I am collabing with five other moms here on YouTube and we are giving you guys a giveaway. The moms are Katie cleaning videos as well for Instagram accounts. We are giving you guys a Target gift card giveaway and it's going to be $150 for you guys to go and spend on Black Friday. So how exciting is that? All you have to do is go to my Instagram account and look for the photo of me holding this card. It will be posted the same day that this video goes live and all of the instructions will be on there and you guys can see when the winner will be announced and what the dates are, you have to enter the giveaway. If you're coming from one of the other ladies' channels, welcome, my name is Adeline.  They're one, two, and three. I post videos daily.   Please leave a comment below. Let me know where you're coming from. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and get started. I'm gonna show you all my list for this power hour. My mom has my girls right now, so I need to go get them in roughly an hour. So I'm definitely going to chug through this and try to get as much done as I can. So my house, I generally do an evening cleanup and today my little girls have not really been around, so there's not a lot of toys and things all over the floor. And if you guys wanna see that, go check out my evening routines. There's some pretty messy days, that's for sure. So everything's pretty much picked up, so I can get through and get the real dirt cleaned. I like to do that on kind of a separate time. It makes more sense to me to have everything picked up and then at a separate time kind of do all of my cleaning. So let's get started. The first thing that I did is I changed my baby's crib sheet and I also made the beds on my daughter's book beds. Next, I used one of my Norwex cloths to dust everything down and then I vacuumed. Actually looking for a new vacuum cleaner, so if you guys have any great suggestions of cordless ones that work for you, let me know in the comments.  I always love using this Caldris spray when I'm finish making my bed, it just makes the room smell fresh and clean. I've been loving this Aunt Fanny's window and glass cleaner. I just used it to clean my stand up mirror and it takes a second to dry, but it really does a good job. Hoping sometime soon to find the perfect rug for this room, I just haven't found it yet and I recently redid these floors. Went into the playroom and just dusted everything down. I wiped down their chalkboard. I just feel like I can't keep up with them in all of their energy. And then also in my playroom is my desk area, so I just dusted that down as well. I just switched the attachment on my vacuum cleaner and got the steps quick. I'm almost ready to start decorating for Christmas. I have Thanksgiving at my house, so I generally like to leave up all of my pumpkins and fall decor until after Thanksgiving. I started in the dining room. I like my seventh generation wood cleaner. I just leave it all on my table. Actually like soak it down pretty good and wipe it with a paper towel and then let it slowly soak up all the goodness from the table. Then I went ahead and used the same glass cleaner on the fronts of my cabinets that I have in there. This is the same caldra scent that I used upstairs with the linen spray on my bed. I actually used the concentrate on my floors as well. You'll see in a minute. I love that smell. It's my favorite one. Thanks to Kristen Casper. She definitely is the person that mentioned it in one of her videos one time and that's what got me to order it and I absolutely love it. I just filled up my sink with warm water and some of the concentrate from that caldra scent and I washed down all of my cabinets. I like to do this every once in a while. Just helps keep them fresh and white. I don't know about you guys but I always like to empty out my dining room whenever I go to mop it. I don't know. It just seems to go faster if everything's out of the way. And I recently got this Spin Mop from Oceder. It's actually from Amazon. I'll link it below. Oh my goodness. I love this thing. It gets the floors so clean. Like the water is always very dirty. When I'm done it just really does an amazing job plus if you have hardwoods it's great for it because it really brings out the water to make sure you're not getting too much water on your hardwood floors.  But anyways, if you're new to my channel please hit the subscribe button. Give this video a like and I'll see you guys in tomorrow's video.

say that you know what Eric White's means by the Paris order is not just through replacement of empires with nation states but the acceptance of the practice of definite cleansing as a legitimate international form of state construction and that as in in those terms Smyrna is actually emblematic of the Paris order right which which goes to Jay's point about immediate immediate acceptance of the outcome of this of this event you know in 19 and before Lausanne right even before even before we have you know these renegotiation so I think that I think we really need to to understand that this is this is the beginning of the new era rather than the end of it and just very briefly as a side note reflecting something George said earlier I think when there are lots of examples of Lausanne in particular being used as a model for population exchange and deportations and expulsions later but I think the most important is the Zionist model which which draws explicitly on Lausanne's language for advocating for the expulsion of Palestinians from as early as the 1930s so I'll just go there's one more question here right I'm going to keep it very very quick um so being great you know like I was first exposed to the fires where I know we call it the age of my catastrophe which you know I read in a book I kept in which one that only Greece or even in Cyprus they acknowledge the fires as the age of my catastrophe and the western world they just call it the fire experience which I'd like to think that it's all because of the fact that it's very in the fires mirror really affected Greek identity and Greek nationalism and so part of that national identity was a face of great age of my catastrophe church or bed or Greeks or victims and that's what I expected I accepted um I wanted your opinion on just like this linguistic boundary or limitation of what this fires mirror meant for the Greece because in Turkish it's just fire of smear so in Turkish in the Turkish context and the English context the French context it's very much the fire of smear now whereas in Greece it's this catastrophic event just the destruction of a of a former Greek European Armenian center and I think we see that often in Greek history the way we refer to the empire on an occupation even the Pontic genocide the Greek genocide that's only something that we learn about in Greece in Cyprus whereas outside a woman especially Armenian genocide the Greek genocide until 1922 has a big mention which I think is also really interesting so I don't know how much of that is cultural bias of just Greek nationalism present in learning of Greek history or if it's just something that there's another reason for someone to have an answer or no comment thank you very much to all of you would Volker like to start and then Michelle yeah thank you very much really interesting comments and questions I've just been taking notes about the precedence of different fires I think that's very important so yes absolutely that is kind of embedded as I tried to mention at the beginning of my presentation it's embedded in the context of ethnic violence in fact the smear now fires already you know in in a way this technique had emerged have been developed in this conflict in in before so that is absolutely that's that's really important and I think it also points to the fact that we really need to look at the different sides right we need much more research so I speak neither Greek nor Turkish so I couldn't you know work with with with these materials unfortunately but I think it's very important that we you know that we bring together these different perspectives in order to overcome exactly these these these tensions these differences these different views that that were just mentioned on the on the point of Eric White's and ethnic cleansing as acceptable I think you know I mean at least for for for my part I completely agree I think that there isn't really actually a difference here but yeah I think the the the point is very important that you make about you know the immediate acceptance of the result of this of you know of this destruction of the city and the you know ethnic cleansing in this case that that is really new and yeah so I think that's that's a really important point so yeah I'll just leave it here and thank you so much for all your questions and comments thank you well these are great questions I think that one of the key overarching ideas that I've been hearing in this conversation is like how do we understand what have been considered national histories in the context of the end of world war one if we think of multiple endpoints for the Greeks of course the endpoint is going to look different the fire of Smirna the great catastrophe for Armenians are it's going to look different and and I think that's at the root of what this debate over chronology is is getting at so these are stories that have often been kept close in national histories and as one of my my Russian colleagues like to say the problem with British historians is that we think the war is only one story and it was begins and ends with the British view and when I started this project I really wanted to sort of think about what happens if we take this British view of diplomacy and humanitarianism an angle what becomes an Anglo-American view and pays attention to these other endpoints what are we missing when we tell a British story along this or a European story I should say on the arc of beginning and endpoints what happens when we insert the question of Smirna into the actual diplomatic process of Luzon yes it's there's a lot to be said for it it becoming a on the whites on the whites point it's not an end of the Paris system right but but there's also a way in which we need to understand these national stories that have become national stories within this globalized context of the war and these endpoints that we are looking at really can be sort of can can be embedded in a larger story and bear and and I think they they demand our attention to be able to understand why some of these crises that we have been reading as led by the British led by the French are influenced by different kinds of moments and this project is not meant to undo the idea that that that that there is that this is an endpoint of the 19th century I might have spoken to too strongly but but it really is to try to explore what is actually going on in that peace process that that that Versailles moment that is actually extended all the way to 23 if you look at the hundreds of conferences and and events that are going on in that period what does that that European style peace conference what what does that offer us to understanding the ending of a war that looks like no other and I think that there are lots of opportunities for beginnings and ends so I don't want to make the point that Smirna is the end of the war but it is an endpoint and it's one that deserves explanation and understanding within that that moment of of of making peace in that Lausanne moment and several moments so that's and maybe my goals are more modest than sort of undoing a thesis of that this is the the endpoint but but I do think that these incidents bear our attention and demand that we take them seriously as moments in the war that that influence outcomes and I think Smirna was one of those moments thank you ever so much for two very fascinating papers thank you to the audience for very interesting questions and I would like to finish by thanking the organizers for a fascinating conference I enjoyed very much this session thank you all very much thank you thank you very much for sharing our final session for today and we'll see you tomorrow we kick off at 11 British time with our first panel of the day tomorrow is conference in Armenia so we're moving on from Smirna there so thank you all for attending those of you the presenters and those assume and I'll see you all tomorrow same links


Hello, hello. I am back in the car. That means it's Vlulaj day 26. I am now going to the parental's house because it is time. Well, let's see here. Ah, this is the dragon house logo. So sad they closed. But I am doing some t-shirt delivery because my dad had ordered a t-shirt and I just saw Pete, the old owner, and talked to my dad. He is on, I think he's on his way back to his house. So I'm going to go drop this off on my way home and maybe I'll see my mother too.  So maybe you'll see them on the vlog, maybe not, but I will film something later. So stay tuned. Well, hello. I am back home. Just took the doodle dog on a walk. I'm hot. He's hot. Hold on, let me show you. I hope you guys can see him. Yep. He's just chilling on the hard floor. Went to dinner with my parents. We went to Coburn's deli, which is actually a grocery store that I'm going to be going to tomorrow. So I am making my Coburn's list because they sent pennypencher coupons. So I'm going to work off the coupons. So I am currently making a list right now.  Plus I have Olivia coming to stay this weekend. So I want to make sure that I have apples for her because I know she likes the apples. I've got like one apple left, but that might actually be gone by Saturday. I want to make sure I'm fully stopped for Miss Olivia. But anyway, just got home. I am so hot. Like it's not really that hot outside.  We just kind of hung out and chatted. My dad liked his shirt. Actually the shirt isn't really for him. It's for my uncle, my dad's brother. So I guess it's going to him instead. I thought it was for my dad, but apparently it's for my uncle Jim. But yeah, now I'm just hanging out here. I'm debating if I want to film my Financial Friday video today, but I kind of want to do it tomorrow. I know it's kind of cutting it close, but I kind of don't care.  Don't get me wrong. Like I care. But I think tonight I'm just going to like take the night off and just chill out. And I think the vlog is actually going to be pretty short today too because I don't really have much to talk about. Work was work, which is fine. I kind of ran around all morning and then got back to the office about 12, 31, somewhere in there. Did all the other things I needed to do and then I left at my usual time, which is after I'm supposed to leave. My boss is actually out of town. He left this morning. So he was in the office for just like a little bit and then he is out of town Thursday, Friday, which will be nice because I can actually get a lot of stuff done while he's gone, which is good. I pretty much got everything done that I need to get done besides like follow up calls and emails and stuff for the next couple of days. But that's like my normal thing anyways. But when he's not there, it actually makes my life a whole lot easier because I can get stuff done and like focus on a project versus getting phone calls from him every hour on the hour with other things to do while I'm doing other things. And it just completely derails whatever I'm trying to accomplish. So anyways, I mean, it's fine. It's just it is what it is. It's the construction world. So what do I expect, you know, but it's very difficult to focus on like one task or two tasks. So my task tomorrow is to clean off my desk. And you guys would think I'm like really need an organized at work. And oh my god, I am not at work because there is so much paperwork.  Like there's so many scraps of paper I need to hold on to for like job costing and figuring out the bottom line and like all of that and it's not digitized. Anything isn't I've been trying to get my boss to go like to a digital format where I can just scan the documents and put them in a file and he doesn't want to do that. So I am tasked with keeping every last receipt and scrap of paper that involves a job cost.  But I am going to clean off my desk tomorrow, which will be very exciting. And then if I get some time, I'm actually going to do some job costing for some jobs that have already closed out. So that'll be good. And then he'll be excited if he comes back and I have a couple of job costings done. But that's the magic of what can happen if Emily gets to focus and not run around and be a construction worker. So anyway, but yeah, that's it for right now. I'll vlog a little bit later. But I'm going to finish out my grocery list. And then I'll show you what I get for groceries tomorrow. So don't worry, I'll show you because that's probably going to be the only content I'll have for my vlog tomorrow because I'll do my budget tomorrow as well. But anyway, I'm going to sign off for right the second, but I will see you guys in just a moment. So it's been a little bit and I got my first Nordstrom sale delivery and I'm wearing them. These are Zella leggings. I will show you what they are. Give me just a second to pull up Nordstrom. I'm legit buying another pair and I'm going to show you who turned me on to these. This is her website. It's kellynan.com. I will put it down below, but this is who she is. I have been following her on Instagram for quite a while. She has amazing home decor posts and things like that.  And we've had some conversations back and forth privately. She was telling me how much she loved these Zella leggings. I told her I was kind of on the fence about them and then I decided to buy them and they shipped out super fast. And they're true to size.   You can move in them and they have major butt lifting situations. So let me show you. I legit already added one to my bag. I'm going to check out. So let me turn you around to show you what I'm going to get. So these are the leggings. Oh, those are not the leggings I'm currently wearing. Sorry. Okay. These are the leggings that I am currently wearing. It's the Zella live in high waist leggings, extra large. They are on sale right now for $35.90. And after the sale, they go back to regular price at $54. So I'm definitely going to get those. And let me show you because these are just like plain black leggings. Like you literally can't go wrong. And let me show you these ones.  Actually, I'll show you these in this like graphite color because you can see it a little bit better. But these are the autumn high waist moto ankle leggings. $49.90 originally are $75. But I thought these would be really cute too. They're the high waist. So like the same, basically the same except for they've got like the little cutouts here. And then on the back of the calf, it also has a little bit of a mesh there. But I thought these would be cute for just like bumming around, you know, like here's the backside. So you can kind of see like the little calf right there. But I don't know. I mean, I kind of, I kind of dig in it. It's so hard to see that, but it's got like the little ripples there. I don't know. I think I'm going to get these two because the nice thing about Nordstrom.com is that they are free shipping and free return. So if for some reason I don't like them, or they just look really funny on me, which they might, I don't know. I can return them like no harm, no fall, you know what I'm saying? So I actually read Kelly's blog post a while ago when she was talking about all the things she was keeping and stuff. And she did write that the Zella leggings were worth having like multiple pairs of whatever style you like. And she got the crop ones, which I think I bought cropped ones as well. If I remember right, let me check. I am going to be doing a haul on my channel. This is like the one time a year I kind of go like crazy. Oh yeah, I did buy the cropped ones as well. And they're also the highway. So it's like the same cut or whatever, but just cropped leggings. This is like the one time a year I kind of go a little bit nuts. Last year I didn't go that nuts. Like I only got like four or five things. And this year I got like a lot of things, but I don't really buy clothes like ever. And Nordstrom has great quality and I can guarantee that I am not going to keep everything. Like there's just no way I'm going to be able to keep everything because there is a chance that some things aren't going to fit or look right or feel right or I'm going to see them in person and go, oh, I don't like that. And if I don't like it, I'm not going to keep it. I'm going to wait for everything to come in because everything's coming in like on different days or whatever. I'll keep my packing slip, which is in that box right behind me, which is what the leggings came in. Oh my God, but these are like buttery soft. And I know Kelly has said this and then also Jennifer Ross from Pretty Neat Living. I think she got another pair of Zele leggings too. And she got Zele leggings last year and she said that they wash up really well. So I'm really hoping that they do and hold up really nicely, but they are so comfortable. Like I could wear these to work with like a really nice like top and some cute shoes or some cute boots and like it's just it's just worth it when you've got like good thick leggings and they're not see-through. So that's a definite plus. I think I'm going to go ahead and order those other ones. And I've gotten a few comments about spending money. I'm just going to say this as like a blanket statement. I budget out for things, obviously. My budget gives me permission to spend as you guys know.  And yes, I am buying a lot of home things because I just bought a house. But I save for this house for a really long time. And trust me, I am nowhere near depleting savings or any of that kind of stuff that would not be responsible. And that's just not me. But even if I did do that, that would be, you know, my business, I guess. There is going to be a clothing haul coming up very soon, which is going to seem very extravagant to a lot of you guys. But when you understand that I literally have not purchased any clothes in the longest time, I mean, I may have bought like a top at Target for like 12 bucks. I mean, maybe in the last 12 months, I don't know what to tell you. So I am not a person that goes and buys something once a month just to make myself feel better or not there's anything wrong with that. I just don't really enjoy shopping that much. I mean, I used to really enjoy it when I was younger, but I think that's just because it was just more of a social thing. And now I'm like, get in, get out. You know what I'm saying? When you've got good deals with good quality things and really not really any risk because I can buy it. And then if I don't like it, that's okay because it's free shipping and free returns. So this is so not sponsored by the way, because I know I'm going to get those questions. No, this is not sponsored. I am not a fashion blogger. So this is not a sponsored video at all. I just love Nordstrom and I actually love Nordstrom Rack, by the way. But again, that's one of those things where I have to like look through everything and I just don't, I don't have the patience here. It's like, I just don't have the patience, but there's some really cool things coming, some things I'm really excited about. There are some things I'm kind of on the fence about, but I'm just, I'm really excited to see them when they come in and just to like see if they fit or if they feel good and all of that. But I will show you everything I get in hopefully the next couple of weeks, I hope. I think that there's a couple of items that might be coming towards the end of next month because they were kind of backward, but I want to get everything and then show you guys because obviously it's not a sponsored video. So it doesn't need to like go up or anything. I'm just doing it because I like to show you guys my hauls. People are always very interested in like what I'm wearing. Like right now I'm wearing a Lula Rowe top and then I've got my Zella leggings, which are amazing. Oh, they just, they feel like, it feels so good, you know? Very different than the Lula Rowe leggings. The Lula Rowe leggings are like very like loose, if that makes sense in a good way.  So I don't know, I really like them. I'm going to get another pair right now. And the sale will still, I think the sale is still going on until like, I don't know, let me, let me check really quick. I think it's going on until the first part of August. Let's take a look. Yeah, August 6th is when the sale ends. So they go up on the seventh. Like they just go back up to normal price. It's like false stuff. So I'll leave the Nordstrom link below and I'll just write in like which leggings I got. There is, they're not out of any sizes, I don't think, in these Zella leggings that I'm getting. They did have quite an abundance of them. I know a lot of the other things that I purchased and things I was just looking at had sold out before I even got a chance to take a look at some of the items. I am going to go because I am going to order these things and then wait for my packages to arrive. I'm so excited about these leggings. I think I'm going to wear, I might wear these leggings tomorrow to work. I might do it. I usually wear leggings to work anyways in the fall, like fall and spring because it's just nice to do that. Oh and summer, obviously I'm in summer right now. But in the winter I wear like a thicker, a thicker pant because it's just, it's so freaking cold in Minnesota. But I love these. I love these so much. I want all the pairs but I'm only going to get two of the regular ones and then I'm going to try on those moto leggings. See if those look cute. Who knows? Maybe they will look horrible but we'll find out together I guess. Time to focus camera. Come on, you can do it. I have faith in you. Ah so finally I grab a drink and it focuses. Good job camera. All right so it's about nine o'clock. It is time to start attempting to get ready for bed. I need to bring my packing slip upstairs. Actually no I don't need this at all because I'm keeping them so yeah. All right cool. Well let's go upstairs. I thought maybe the Nordstrom packing slip would have the prices on that but they don't so that's all right. I have the email and I've been like compiling a list of the things that I have purchased you know. So you will see that video soonish. I would say hopefully by the end of this upcoming month in August. Oh really Doyle. Oh really okay hold on let's see what the dog is doing. So just come upstairs to the guest room and this is where I find the dog. Staking his claim on the guest bed. You know Olivia's coming to stay this weekend right? This isn't your bed. I know it's not your bed bud. It's not your bed. I know it's really sad huh? So sad buddy. These are the pillows I got the other day. Let's see. They are the Tahari home won't go flat pillow two pack standard.  I just haven't dealt with that yet and then the duvet cover is there. The dog is there but the actual duvet is in the closet over yonder here and okay so all right there is a mirror right there. So here's the deal. Let me take these off. Maybe you guys can help with this because you guys are always like super helpful. All right so I was in here with my mom and I'm gonna put a little side table over here and a little side table over here however because of this door and it's swinging that way I can't really center this bed on the wall and the wall the not the wall the bed isn't centered right now anyways but I'm gonna have to move it over a little bit anywho but this wall is like huge and this headboard is like kind of short for the scale of the wall like it's pretty high and my mom was thinking put that mirror like in the center like right in the middle here and then I have two of them actually and then put the other one on this wall but I was kind of thinking I mean I like the design of that but I feel like square isn't right with these like I don't know like little points you know what I mean and I don't know what would look good there I was actually over at that at home place uh yesterday and I saw a really cute like sunburst mirror that had kind of like um obviously there was a mirror in the center and it had like staggered you know sunbursts around it and I thought that might look kind of cool I just feel like the square is like just too I don't want to say uniform but it just it feels like it's fighting a little bit you know what I mean is that weird and my mom was saying hold on we'll go into my room now she's like you need something like your mirrors in here which I kind of agree but I like my mirrors in here and I don't want to really change them you know I don't know unless you guys think it would be a good idea to switch these mirrors put them in here maybe I don't know but I feel like it's too much of the same I don't know what do you think Doyle what do you think huh what did you do to this oh it's just wet you're licking your paws you're so gross I'm gonna have to wash this again doodle he just sits and licks his paw lick the paw lick the paw you're so gross you're so disgusting Doyle you're so nasty but anyways if you guys have suggestions on what I should do with this wall let me know also give me suggestions on what I should do with this dog let me know just can you get down and then also okay so I've got this wall which is whatever but then this wall is like absolutely nothing over here and this is the lake you know when you walk in this is like this whole huge blank wall so I don't know what to do with it I don't know but there's not a ton of like I mean there's walkway space don't get me wrong but there's not a ton so I can't like put any like furniture or anything in here but I figured it'd be cool to put something on the wall but I don't know and when I was at that at home place the other day like I really liked that sunburst mirror thing but I just felt like I wasn't 100% sure I think it was like $59.99 so it wasn't like break the bank expensive but obviously I've got more than enough time to just buy what I want to buy and take my time with this room and make sure it's right like I even put in like two lamps in my cart and then I took them out because I was like well I'm just buying stuff to buy stuff now like I don't I don't want that so I think what I'm going to do is when I get my side tables for here which I'm just gonna look at like home goods and marshals and stuff and I'll end up finding something at some point I think what I'm going to do is take the lamps that are in my room again going over to the crickets again take these lamps and these are from Target and I think I might upgrade the lamps in here in my room because these are pretty basic and put them in here because I feel like with this headboard you gotta have something kind of basic next to it you know what I'm saying and then my headboard is like sorry I hope I'm not making you guys dizzy but my headboard sorry for like the mess my headboard is pretty basic and I feel like you could do something kind of fun with the lamps and I think if I do like a fun lamp that's like more of like a porcelain base that I can put those mirrors up you know what I mean I don't know I hope I'm making sense I just feel like I'm rambling on now so all right well I am gonna go for now if you guys have suggestions let me know in the comments below Doyle and I are gonna go it's time to get ready for bed and I am in love with these leggings been wearing them for hours now they're so freaking comfortable and I did purchase more so I mean but I already told you guys that so I need to stop repeating myself like for realsies okay that's going away all right well I am gonna get going and I will see you guys tomorrow for the next Vlulai


But before I get too far into that, I just want to give a bit of clarification. You'll hear a lot about Mesa's and you'll hear a lot about DCOS at this conference. And I just kind of want to clarify what they are. Mesa's is the kernel of DCOS. So just like you wouldn't use Linux directly. You would use a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Red Hat, Enterprise Linux. So when you necessarily use Mesa's directly, by itself it doesn't really do anything. You need to pair Mesa's with something like Marathon or Chronos or Jenkins in order to actually get it to do anything. Where DCOS comes in is kind of this ecosystem of all of these tools and projects around running applications and running distributed systems. So some of the things like security and monitoring, the health of the cluster can all be bundled together with DCOS. So like I said, Mesa's is kind of this general-purpose cluster resource manager. It takes many machines in your data center and allows you to program them against them as if they were a single entity. Resources are advertised directly to these frameworks, or Mesa's term for frameworks is these distributed applications. Just like the Linux kernel would advertise resources directly to user space. And some of the companies that are using this successfully include Apple, Twitter, Airbnb, Netflix, some of the largest companies on the internet. So Mesa's does this by having a two-tier scheduling. What that means is it's taking resources from individual hosts, CPU, memory, disk, network ports, and it's advertising those to these distributed systems. The frameworks, the scheduler, can then decide whether it has work to do or not work to do, and accept or decline the resources that it's offered. The Mesa's masters are highly available. They use Zookeeper for leader election and to keep a small amount of state about the cluster. The agents are also fault-tolerant. So using a feature called Checkpointing, they can actually have the processes on each individual agent stay running if a Mesa's agent restarts. So this is really powerful because you can essentially upgrade Mesa's across your data center without having to reschedule your workloads or incur any downtime. If you think of other distributed systems, for example, if you try to upgrade a Jenkins master, your entire Jenkins cluster is offline while that master is being upgraded. So this is a very key point that the original Mesa's authors wanted this to be highly available. Using, like I mentioned, using C Groups or using Docker, there's resource isolation between processes and there's enforcement as well. So if a single process or a single container goes over its amount of memory that it was allocated, the Linux auto memory killer will come in and kill that process. It might be restarted elsewhere, but it's up to the scheduler to decide what's going to happen with that container. Another really key selling point to Mesa is the language bindings that are available for you to write distributed systems on top of it. There's C++, there's Java, there's Scala, Python. Some of the folks at Mesa's here maintain the Go bindings. I've seen Ruby bindings. I think there are early bindings too. Just a lot of different languages for you to write in against Mesa's. With the new HTTP API, that's not even easy. So this is kind of what the Mesa's architecture looks like. Here you have the three masters and they're using ZooKeeper for a bigger relation and for a small amount of state of public cluster. One master leads at a time while one or more other masters can be stand by waiting to take over. So usually masters are deployed in odd numbers. Three works well if you want to allow one master to fail. Five or seven works a little bit better. That way you can take one out for maintenance and still be able to tolerate one failure. The schedulers for distributed systems connect with the Mesa's master core and the schedulers launch tasks directly on two agents based on resources that Mesa has given that scheduler. Each of the agents advertises its available resources when it starts and the Mesa's masters persists that and offer those to the frameworks using an algorithm called DRF or Dominant Resource Experiments. That allows one framework that may be CPU heavy to use the cluster the same fairness as another framework that may be memory heavy. To kind of illustrate that resource offer process, we can visualize it like this, this cyclet diagram. Each of these agents has resources to offer 16 CPUs, 128 gigabytes of memory, a terabyte list. Those resources are advertised to the Mesa's masters. The master advertises it directly to the scheduler. If it's accepted, a task can be launched and if it's declined, those resources can be offered to another framework. It allows for the fair sharing of a single computing cluster as opposed to giving one group 10 servers and another group 20 servers and partitioning the data center that way. It's a very intelligent system. I just want to go over some use cases that I've seen as far as when I was getting started with Mesa's what was a really popular and compelling way to kind of demonstrate this power. First and foremost is Spark. Apache Spark actually started off as a project to test the hypothesis that specialized frameworks are more valuable than generalized ones. If you read the original Mesa's research paper, Spark was actually created at the same time as Mesa's to be able to test the theory that the Mesa's creators were over trying to prove in the paper. Since then, Spark has gone on to become a very successful project in their companies using Spark in production within and without Mesa's. Another popular use case is Jenkins. Jenkins can be a traditionally deployed standalone where you would dedicate a certain number of virtual machines or servers in your data center to run a Jenkins cluster. But for anybody that is running Jenkins, Jenkins isn't always busy or running builds. Sometimes it's just sitting idle. So if it's sitting idle, those resources can be put to better use. So there is a Mesa's plugin that was originally developed on Twitter for Jenkins that allows Jenkins to use Mesa's as its underlying cluster manager. So that Jenkins isn't really doing the management of all those machines. So that allows containers to be spun up on demand, run the build, and then after a certain idle period, the containers are then torn down. Marathon is probably one of the most popular use cases. Like I had mentioned earlier, Mesa's only cares about running processes that are running containers. If that process dies, it's up to the scheduler to determine what to do with it. Marathon allows you to say, I always want this number of processes running specifically for an application. And if one of them dies, when Marathon is notified of that, it will go ahead and spin up a new container based on the next resource offer it sees. So it allows you to declaratively state, I want to run this many containers. It doesn't matter where, make sure that this number of instances of my application is always available. Chronos is the one that I actually got started with. It's a distributed cron. So it allows you to run commands on a schedule. So we had a use case at a previous job where we had some cron jobs running on individual machines. And one day one of the machines failed and it was replaced and nobody thought to recreate the cron jobs that were running and nobody had documented it. Chronos is really powerful in that it is also highly available. And all of its cron jobs are stored, I believe, in a zookeeper. So when the schedule comes up to run a process, it gets a resource offer from Mesa's and launches that as a task somewhere on the cluster. So the individual machine doesn't matter as much as I have this process I wanted to run at this time, just do it. You can also create your own schedule where, like I had said before, there are C++ and Go and Python bindings for Mesa's. This is an example of using the Python bindings that are available. I believe the only method you have to implement is resource offers in your scheduler when you're subclassing. So I apologize for any non-software engineers in the room if this is more of an operations audience. But all this is really saying is for each of the offers we receive, take a look at the resource names, aggregate them, and then it's just going to print this message that we've received an offer with a certain number of CPUs and a certain amount of memory. And from there we can do whatever we want. You know, it just ends here, but we could launch tasks, we could take a look at that offer and see which attributes it came with, determine which data center it came from, determine which rack it came from. You could do some really cool scheduling things just based on the information coming out of the cluster. Usually when it comes to deploying Docker or deploying applications, something like Marathon would fit 90% of use cases. There are other distributed systems that might also fit your use case. I would say that most times you don't need to develop your own scheduler or your own framework, but if you have custom business logic that warrants it or if you have a specific scheduling scenario that warrants it, that might be an option. I've been talking about this idea of clusters and like I alluded to earlier, we're now taking the resources from many individual systems and treating them as if they were one computer. And that presents some of its own challenges and a lot of these sound like old problems and they kind of are except now they're distributed. So for example, in the past we could look at service discovery and load balancing by having names in DNS or you could have a spreadsheet or a puppet or some other tool to track which services are running on which machines. Now that that service could be running on any machine, we need a way to dynamically do that. So you could use something like Mesa's DNS console, Mesa's or Marathon LB and it queries the state of the cluster and builds DNS records or builds HAProxy configurations based on that information. So where you might have had to go in and manually configure load balancer before, you can use the system to do that for you. When it comes to monitoring a metrics collection, we still have the same issues. You still need to run an agent on each of your machines in order to collect that information. Mesa's provides some information via its APIs. I'm giving a talk tomorrow on metrics collection with Mesa's. So if you're more interested in that, I'll do a deep dive there. But traditional tools like collecting, Nagios or Prometheus work just fine. We also have an issue with persistent storage. Mesa's is largely a stateless system. We've made a lot of progress on running stateful services, especially distributed file systems and databases, by writing custom schedulers that can tolerate failure and can tolerate upgrades. For example, I believe the HDFS scheduler, the Cassandra scheduler, ensures that when you're doing upgrades, you only take out one node at a time, so that you don't have any data loss. But distributed systems that would normally run on a fleet of servers can easily run on Mesa's. And using Mesa's is a scheduling system. You can tolerate failures that way. So if an agent goes down, the scheduler gets notified and that failed task can be restarted on another node. Or it can wait until that node comes back. Maybe it was only going down for schedule changes. There's also, if you're running in the cloud, there's Amazon, EBS, S3. We also have an issue of administration. We're running multiple masters. We need to know which one is leading, which one to query for information. Some of the tools that we can use for that are, like I said, Mesa's DNS, agent proxy. We have a load balancer called In-A-Man built into PCOS. I gave some examples here of different tools for solving some of these problems, but I'd like to wrap all of this up and just kind of point out PCOS here. And the reason I'm pointing out PCOS is because it is an open source project that has all of these tools built around Mesa's. So, kind of like you heard in the keynote earlier, you can build your own Mesa stack. And that might be something that you want to do or that your business wants to do, but not everyone needs to do that. And if you build your own stack, you have to also maintain it. So, if you look at an open source project like PCOS that has all of these tools built in and great all of them that ensure they work for every release, you can really save yourself a lot of time. So, like I was saying, Mesa's and DCOS are really better together. DCOS is more of an operating system distribution built around Mesa as its kernel, just like you would expect Ubuntu or Red Hat to be the distribution around the Linux kernel, except this is across many machines. Some of the things that I talked about earlier, like security, networking and operations, those are what you start to get in DCOS. And a lot of this is open source. There's the web interface, the command line interface, the marathon, the universe, out store. And then everything just runs on top of that. So, it allows you to bundle all of the components that make up a modern Mesa's infrastructure in one easy-to-use way. And we can consider that for deploying applications, we have these five basic requirements. At some level, there's scheduling. There's actually running a process on a machine.  Somehow that application means to actually get on to that server. Next, you need health checks. Things like making sure the service is alive, responding to you. Service discovery is another big one. A lot of times, we would be able to deploy an application and just tell it to configure or connect to this database running on this hostname and this port. We can't really do that if database could be running on any node in the cluster. And finally, persistence is running these stateful services in containers like SEP and HDFS and Cassandra and being able to tolerate failures and not incur any data loss. So before Mesa's and DCOS, a systems administrator would have to provision one or more physical or virtual servers in order to host the app. And in some cases, these systems administrator may deploy that application or hand it off to a software developer to deploy the application. With DCOS, it kind of draws a line almost between the developers using the cluster and the operators maintaining the cluster. So essentially, you can have operators providing this platform as a service, this infrastructure as a service that is Mesa's or DCOS. And the resource authors are advertised to the distributed applications running on top of the cluster like Marathon or Jenkins. And your applications or your workloads run that way. As far as deploying applications, I had mentioned this before, Jenkins might be SSHing into the machine to deploy the app. Puppet or Chef or Ants Bowl could also orchestrate that for you. But note that all of the dependencies have to be present on that machine. Now, using something like Docker, you can package your application and its dependencies and run it on any machine in the cluster. In Marathon, we deploy those containers, hopefully using a CIRC tool so that you get the same deployment every time. I really want repeatable, robust appointments. Before health checks, not to notice my email or send an alert to a systems administrator in the middle of the night or at any given time, letting them know the service is down and they need to go to work. Marathon performs these health checks for you. You can have it look at specific URLs of your application or make sure a specific report is listening and returning all the expected information or valid error code. And if any of those go unhealthy, Marathon restarts those instances automatically.  For service discovery, like I was saying, when you deploy applications, you would have to tell it which database to connect to or some other dependent service to connect to. I've worked in an environment where all of the host names and IP addresses and reports for these applications were stored in a spreadsheet and you just had to keep it up to date. And if it wasn't up to date, then with Mesa's DNS providing DNS information about the running applications in that cluster, we're worried for a known service name. So let's say like redis.marathon.mesos. And it doesn't matter where in the cluster it's running, Mesa's DNS will have a record of it and will resolve to that IP address for that host name. Alternatively, systems administrator would need to configure a load balancer either manually or with Partitive or Chef in order to handle incoming user traffic to the various instances of an application. And now with Mesa's and DCOS, these load balancer configurations can be built dynamically using the state of the cluster available and the running applications on that cluster. DCOS and cluster computing, we had individual servers that had to be fault tolerant all of our data to live there. Their storage had to be grade one, five, six, or ten, depending on performance and the level of security that we wanted to have for data. Or you could have statically partitioning, Chef or cluster data stores running in your data center and have your applications connect to those. But then again, you have that static partitioning problem and you have to maintain your set or your cluster as if it was a separate thing. You could turn around and run separate cluster right on top of Mesa's and it will heal itself if one of those versions fails. You can also use these external or persistent volumes. EMC has this awesome tool called RecSpray that allows you to dynamically provision storage volumes based on your application. Your application is restarted, it automatically reconnects to that volume. So this is really powerful if you're running out of Amazon, but you can automatically provision these EBS back volumes if that instance fails and all of your data is still safe. So I'd just like to end this talk with given that we're all engineers here, whether we're on the operations side or the development side, which tools would we like to work with? Do we want to be paged at 2 o'clock in the morning when an application goes down? Or do we want the cluster to be able to handle the failure for us? Do we want to maintain host names and IP addresses and reports in a spreadsheet or in a text file somewhere? Or do we want to hand that information off to the cluster and let the machines make the scheduled decisions for us? I think the automation that Mesa's and ECOS provides is very powerful and it's a different way of thinking, I honestly believe that this is the future of computing and it will allow us all to do our jobs much more efficiently. With that, I really thank you for attending this talk and I hope you enjoy the rest of Mesa's talk. If you have any questions or would like to follow up with me, you can send me an email at roger.mesaspear.com. Thank you.
