and welcome back to the Donahue Group. We're delighted you're joining us for another fun-filled, information-packed, half-hour of discussion. We're going to be talking about some local issues and joining me, as always, the fearsome foursome. Here we are. Cal Potter, former state senator. Tom Pineski, professor of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Shabuigan. Ken Risto, social studies guru. Maven, advisor to the superintendent. And my name is Mary Lynn Donahue. I'm the host and delighted to welcome you. Before we start, and before anyone says anything, my collar is supposed to be up. This is a fashion statement. Just so that everyone knows and doesn't say, gee, it was a nice show. Too bad she could not have put her collar down. So all right. Next show, you can fold it down. There we go. Then we'll know. You can call in and tell us how you feel about Mary Lynn's collar. Yes, and actually not. So very good. We're all sitting here pretty confident that the predictions that we made in our last show about election results, in fact, basically rang true. I think we're actually we're not a smart bunch at all. It was a pretty obvious kind of prediction. But I think overall we did pretty well. I disagree vehemently. I thought it was we had a great nuance and insight into the predictions. Well, very good. No, we were right. I don't think we missed one. I think we had a couple that were really kind of close. Well, one of the closer ones, although the actual election turned out to be quite the opposite, was Bob Ryan versus Jack Westfall. Westfall, if you remember, won in the primary by just a few votes and got what my one of my partners would call something of a schvetsing in the general election, I think it was a 60-40 splitter about that. And it was an interesting campaign. Jack, you work with Jack. And Mr. Ryan is a business leader. And so it's kind of an unknown quantity as to how all of that's going to work out. Dustin Haven and Silas Vander Wheeling, that was kind of one way or the other kind of election. And when I saw the votes at the end, as of Dustin, got 333 votes after all that campaigning and all the standing on the corner and the signs. Of course, Vander Wheeling had done a lot of campaigning, too. But it was a low turnout and just 333 votes. That was one we thought could go either way. I think we picked Silas. We picked Silas, but we thought it'd be closer. And we're getting back to Jack and I do work with him, so I'm probably a little skewed here. But I didn't see Jack in the general election campaign much. I think we showed up for the forums, but I didn't see a lawn sign. I think the week before the, I know the week before the election, he was on vacation out of the country, out of town, certainly. So I'm not so sure, you know, I think Jack was offering himself up as an alternative or a possibility. And I think once Ryan got in, there was, Jack was content with winning or losing. Yeah, that could be. And Silas has now taken, has won the elections where at the last city council meeting, or second to last city council meeting, Silas is now chair of the Committee of the Whole, having won that election. So obviously he's come back to some sort of political life after losing in a primary. And it is hard to fight back after a primary loss, even if it's close, you know, you feel a little, either you get really energized to work very hard or you, yeah, exactly, exactly. And sometimes no matter how hard you campaign, it really doesn't make much of a difference. I remember talking to one of your opponents once who had run a very good campaign against you, had worked as lights out, worked very hard and still had the same percentage of losses the guy who had run against you the time before and really hadn't campaigned at all, you know. So you never know how these things are gonna turn out. And it was a low, it was really a low turnout. Gene Clionis, as we expected one handily, Bonnie Serta won. I think there was probably not much question there. Mark Hanna fought back a brilliant opponent and clawed his way to victory and, but I think that, you know, that was probably a pretty easy race overall. And then Dan, you know, if Dan Byrd didn't win. Boy, he did not win. Didn't win. And, you know, he only kept his county seat. He was running also for the county board of supervisors by 10 votes. So if there had been just a little bit of a change there, Dan would have really had, I think, a really bad night as opposed to a pretty bad night. And then compounded a bad night by announcing immediately he was gonna run against Graf. And at least in, and I'm in that district. So I've talked to 20 or 30, 40 people in our district and just that if the quote is accurate in the press, that didn't sit well with at least the people that I spoke with. That there's a time where one should probably lay low for a little while and then perhaps if you wanna challenge a challenge, but the same night you announced that you're gonna run against the other incumbent, that wasn't a good move. That wasn't probably the most graceful defeat speech in the world's history, but there you go. It's hard to lose. It really is and some of us have been there. Although, you know, on the positive side, I always admire people that run. Because if you haven't run, you don't know what it's like. Exactly. Exactly. And we've said it many times on this show that the whole process of voting and having contested elections is incredibly important. But when you're in that wonderful position of having an uncontested race, really life is good. It's a real race. It's a real race. It's a huge relief. Did you ever have an uncontested race, Kel? Yeah. Okay, twice. Three times. Twice in the assembly and once in the Senate. Totally uncontested? Wow. See? But maybe there were problems even way back then about where you were just so formidable. In both cases, it came after I had done very well in previous elections. So I think recruiting of a candidate against an incumbent who doesn't appear to be in political trouble is more difficult for the party that's trying to recruit that candidate. And I think eventually they look at other races and say, well, are time and energy and resources, when you got an assembly of 99 people in the Senate of 33, half of which are up every two years, or are you gonna put your time and energy? So they sort of move on too. So sometimes by not having opponent isn't always a reflection of the candidate, it's a reflection of somebody else outside the system saying, where are we gonna spend our time and money? And it's not gonna be in a district where we think we're gonna lose badly. Well, it is a new day for the city council, that's fairly clear and there's a fairly sweeping change in the last two years. But it'll be interesting to see what happens. Also very interesting to me that night, and I have to say I was at the administration building from about 830 election night until 11 because I was telling the votes for the League of Women Voters. And so I actually had a job, a clipboard, and I was an official person. But I did, so I was there filling in all the sheets for these various little TV stations that we had calling the vote totals too. So I saw, and with kind of astonishment as the referenda votes kept coming in, and let's put it right up there, Sheboygan Falls Middle School referendum. Didn't do well. 87% to 13% and presumably the school board election results clearly, I think pretty clearly also influenced that as well. Not one single referendum one. None was even particularly close. I think the random lake at a 60-40 split was probably one of the closer ones. Clear message? What was the one for the nursing homes? Or the, that was 56 to 44 or 54 to? You're right, that one was a little closer, but then just the next question on the referendum, on the ballot about just exceeding spending limits was another 80-20 kind of vote, so. But you're right, does anybody remember that, the nursing home percentage? I think it was about 56, 55. So that one was actually close and of course really reflects I think the, not so much a divided community is, we're divided in, I think everybody's conflicted about wanting to keep the nursing homes and yet realizing that it's a substantial drain on the taxpayer. I think it also reflects the economic times. I mean, you've had a number of plant closings, you've come to moving there on many of the operations to Brazil, there are people today who are making much less than they did in the past. Gas may be $5 a gallon by summer, some people say. Food costs are going up, everything's reflecting higher gas costs. At some point, I think people are saying, my pocketbook and my credit card and my other debt just can take so much and I don't need any more property taxes to pile on. And I think there's sort of a reaction here where people are expressing feeling and frustration over the cost of living and the debt that they're incurring and this is the way they can. They can't vote on gas prices, they can't vote on food prices but they can sure vote on their property tax. And I think government takes it in the year every, frequently. We've talked about that before, is that the real median income in this county has not changed dramatically in 20 years. It's barely changed in 20 years. So you're absolutely, I write Cal, I think that's one of the things. I think the second thing is, I still think there's a perception whether that's fueled by lots of talk radio or maybe it is a reality that I still think a lot of people still believe they can get their services and still say no to tax increases. That there's a kind of a, kind of, there is a notion that there's just a lot of fat in government and if we put their feet to the fire, we can keep our services without having to, see tax increases and you got that going on as well. And the third thing is, I just think for a lot of families, what the definition of middle classes has changed as we've talked about before too, is I see a lot of people going further and further into credit card debt, trying to buy the things that they think a middle class family should have on top of stagnant income. And so there's just no mood to talk about raising spending caps. And that's why we're gonna get into the state segment. We'll talk about some of the same kinds of things. It's very difficult. And I've often talked about this before that 50% of the people get divorced. So many of them have alimony payment and trial support. And then they also buy in the second marriage, they buy another home, they buy a boat, they buy an SUV. Pretty soon their debt is up to their eyeballs. And so they've created themselves a very unfortunate financial picture. And again, who becomes the scapegoat? It's the property tax bill that you get in December, which is the sort of the straw that breaks the camel's back. Exactly. And I think those of us in the private sector who are always on the lookout for savings and where, I mean, the money I bring it in my office, I bring in, nobody gives that money to me. No, third party gives that money to me. Well, you have to go out and earn it. Well, you earn it, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Making money the old fashioned way. This is not a commercial. This is not a commercial. No, I know. The last few months, I feel like I've earned it. Yeah, no, no, and I'm just. But I know I understand that. But in any event, I think there is that perception that, and I'm not even gonna say fat, it's just that there, when was the last time governments, you looked at how you do business? What was the last time you looked at your management structure? What did you look at this? When did you look at that? And there is, because it's tax dollars, certainly the public sector moves more slowly, it must, it should, it needs to be accountable to the taxpayers. But I think good leaders these days are at least saying, let's look at how we're delivering services, and wouldn't it be nice if we could do a better job of delivering services if the same or maybe even less money? I called the Department of Regulation and Licensing yesterday, and after about 87 different menu changes, I just hung up because I was getting discouraged. And then I have now, since then sent an email on a fairly urgent issue, trying to check to see if this particular entity is a licensed provider and so forth. There's no answer. I called a local agency today, trying to get some records for a client, and the voice message from the worker said, due to an unusually high volume of calls, I will try to return your call within the next 24 to 48 hours. And so in my little phone message, I said, please, I need to hear from you before then. But we get back to Mayor Perez in his state of the city message said, I'm going to bring a budget before the city council that will have no increase in property taxes, no dollar increase, at least as I understood it. That's a big challenge. People have to look at different ways of doing business. The library is doing that. Is it going to happen in other places, I wonder? It's going to have to. And I think also it's going to have to also happen is that people who are accustomed to certain government services aren't going to happen. Yeah, that generally means the poor and those who are struggling on the margins of society are going to be the ones that will see their services cut. They don't vote. There you go. They don't vote. They just don't. And so that's the way the political process will play out. Yeah. I know Tom. No, I didn't have anything. Well, and then that just brings me to just this little bump on the local horizon, which is the charge for marching in the world's longest parade on the 4th of July. We're filming on a day when the headlines tell us that the charge has now been reversed. The bump on the road is gone, the bump on the road is gone. Well, it may actually be in the other direction. I think a few wheels hit a hole in the road, but to me, it was an interesting way to, 4th of July costs the city of Sheboygan a ton of dough. It just does. Besides the generosity of the Johnsonville folks for the fireworks and so forth. And I love the 4th of July. And I even love that two and one-half hour interminably long parade. When I first saw it, I thought, oh, the parade will only be two hours or maybe an hour and a half. But it seemed like sort of an entrepreneurial idea. 10 dollars for nonprofits, that's a pretty reasonable charge, 75 for businesses. This is a fairly cheap advertisement. And boy, people aren't looking at new ways of doing things particularly. So I don't know, what do you think? Well, I think government is looking desperately for ways of covering overtime for police and public works and so on. But when you start implementing things that people just don't normally want to pay for or think they ought to pay for, they're gonna tell you about it. And I think this is one example. I think the letters to the editor that came from veterans groups saying, you're gonna charge them what? To barge in the parade? I mean, that was the killer right there. You're not gonna be able to implement something like that. I know, it was interesting. There were no businesses who made any complaints, but I don't know, it's... And getting 50, what is it to Johnsonville? Contributes 50,000 or more towards the fireworks. So that should be highlighted as thank you. You know, we appreciate that.  Well, I figured, I think the newspaper article today said that the city's about $7,000 short. So in other words, the parade is gonna cost, or the whole day costs about $7,000 more than the income that's available. And I think that's what the mayor was trying to do is just kind of close that gap up a little bit. But... Better idea might've been just to pass the hat along the pay parade route. Let's see, there's $16 all overrun and if they contribute $100 and the mayor contributes $200, all right, you got the $1,800, that helps. I guess I'll play the, mixing my metaphors, the Ebenezer Scrooge of the 4th of July, is the city can't afford to do the parade, you cancel the parade. And maybe that's what sort of experiences the community's gonna have to have to understand that you have to pay for things. There's no, you know, as an economist, there's no, tell the kids all the time, there's no such thing as a free lunch. There's no free lunch. Now I understand that, you know, people will say, you mean to tell me city government and that budget can't find $7,000 to run the parade? Sure they can. You look at everything you want and we keep finding money. We, school district does this. School district does this all the time. I mean, you know, we have proposals to cancel certain programs and then the parents do an uprising and they show up at the board and the board says, go find the money somewhere.  It works. Well it works, but then all of a sudden you're finding out, well, you know, there's other things you cannot do but they don't have a constituency to go to the board and yell and holler. And after a while there's an erosion of that. Now is, so I think, you know, we almost, and no mayor is going to do this of course and so I'm talking smart on local television here, can do it, cancel the parade. Now you can have the fireworks yet, Johnsonville will do that. You have the cardboard regatta, thank goodness that the art center does that. Or you tell the local business property because we're in the age of privatization anyway. If you want to parade in business community or the JCs or the Chamber of Commerce, be our guest, you know, raise the funds and we'll hire the police to do it. Yeah. Wow. City government will get out of the business of parades. Little revolutionary talk here. It's the caffeine. That's the caffeine. Memorial Day, forget about the Memorial Day. This is the only chance I have for a political career in this community. Because my opponent's going to run these tapes all day long.  So, there we are. Well, and one of the ways the city pays for all of this is the room tax. And Susan Hunley had kind of a, I had read Judge Langhoff's original decision, the lawsuit that was filed by the English manor, Susan Hunley, to saying that the city's use of the room tax dollars was improper. Having drafted a room tax ordinance myself, I can tell you that the statute from which all of this comes is hardly a model of clarity and sensibility. But the Court of Appeals was pretty tough on her, or not on her, on her argument. I think patently ridiculous, if I'm not mistaken, was the, yeah, we typically, you know, you always hope that the Court of Appeals is not going to rule on your case with that kind of language. But so, and there's no automatic appeal to the Supreme Court. So I think basically that's done. So the city does have some wide, wide leverage in terms of how it's gonna use its room tax dollars and does use, as I understand, I think, as I understand, uses some of that money for the 4th of July. And, but yeah, the city puts a lot of time and effort into making that parade go. So maybe it's something that the JCs or Rotary could take over. And. Oh, I thought our time is somewhere, what do we think is going on the development on the riverfront? We got this kind of changing subjects a little bit off the parade. We got supposedly the boat, the ferry that a little private industry's coming in is gonna do the boat. And I think that sounds like it's exciting. And all that development that's going on down there. I'm wishing everyone a success. That's putting a lot of money in there, but it seems to be, there's a little germ of growing there. Yeah, part of the problem is that, I mean, do you just see that the South Pier district being so crowded that, I mean, there's been a lot of criticism of the new three-story building down on the peninsula that looks, at best, probably. Yeah, not an exquisite architectural design, let's put it that way. Spaceport looks like it may just, in fact, be a go. Condos on that narrow little spit of land where the horrible green warehouses are now. It's gonna get kind of crowded. I mean, we're all happy to see the development. The problem now is whether there's enough traffic for the water taxi and so on at this stage of the game. I think Blue Harbor's future is a very bright one once you get more and more activity and more buildings down there and businesses. But right now you're really kind of half-built and that's always the problem, who can survive and make enough money in this early stages to keep going. We wish them all well. It's not gonna be the Staten Island ferry for a while. No, that's right. I mean, look, we had this little trolley car that used to go from the water front area up downtown and traffic was not very heavy there either. No, no. Some day, again, with the whole area developing, it probably will be. Well, as long as we're talking about innovation and things changing, just to switch gears a little bit, again, back to the school district. And there are some changes out and about in an entrepreneurial spirit in the school district regarding charter schools. And along with voucher programs, which we do not have here in Sheboygan only, Milwaukee, but charter schools are making their way into the Sheboygan area's school district next year, both at, I think, the grade school and the high school level. There will be what's called an Arts Infused Charter School. I know my junior in high school is looking at that for his senior year. And it sounds like interesting stuff, and what do you think? At least until today, you had a job in the school district? The opinions expressed are my own, and all of my own. I'm gonna start with that disclaimer. No, I think that first of all, in candored, again, this is just my opinion. Yeah, well, there you go. There's state money there. There's state money there, the cut to the chase. There's state money there. You can get a reasonably decent pile of money if you can create charter schools. So there's a financial incentive for the district, the Sheboygan school district. Although it's short term. Yeah, it's short term, it's over a couple of years. Yeah, it's for a couple of years, and then you have to be able to fund it. And by that time, you hope that you're drawing enough students from outside your school district or bringing students who have left your school district because of school choice back into the district that it actually ends up being a revenue enhancer for you, and at least revenue neutral. So you have that. Secondly, I think there are elements in the community that really don't believe that public schools can reform themselves if they're big and they're bureaucratic and there are hours in my life when I think the same thing. And so reform, having charter schools will give people more choices within the context of public education. The real question, so that's really the motivation there is to give people more choices. The district currently really does have a very customer service mentality. I don't mean that negatively, it's just, what do our parents want? What do our community members want? And we'll provide them with those kinds of forums. The multimillion dollar question for the state is, will these charter schools actually improve student achievement and serve those students well? And the record across the country so far is very spotty. Some charters have done very, very well and have increased student achievement and given kids who would now normally have dropped out of their alternatives, others have failed abysmally. And so we'll have to see how it plays out in Sheboygan.  And then there's some other proposals that may or may not be online. So there is kind of an entrepreneur bent to this right now. But the charter schools in Sheboygan or anywhere in Wisconsin for that matter that are associated with public entity still have to take those fourth and eighth and 10th grade tests. And if they don't, they're actually under the statute under a lot more rigor and they will be dissolved faster than a public school under the no child left behind legislation. So that's- Which seems appropriate, I mean. Well, and that was put in the statute to make sure that if you did have a fly by night operation or if you did have something that wasn't working that you could get rid of it pretty quickly. So it'll be interesting to see. And what's gonna be interesting for the people of Sheboygan is those students are in a sense part of a separate school. So people in Sheboygan don't know it. We have three high schools in Sheboygan now because the alternative school at Central on Virginia Avenue is now a third high school. So those, yeah, those, that's a charter school now. It's not a program any longer. So they won't be this year wearing a different color down at the bowl, but they will be next year. And they'll have a diploma signed by the Riverview principle, not North or South's principle. And their state scores will be pulled out of North and South and be looked at separately. And that'll be interesting to see how that plays out in those three high schools. New information for me. Charter school movement is an interesting one because it serves a number of masters. I've been watching it with a lot of interest. I voted for the legislature for the creation of charters and with a lot of reservation because in many cases it is really specialty. And can you take the no child left behind comprehensiveness that you need to get out of these kids in tests and so on out of a specialty school? We have to stop. We have to wrap it up in the entrepreneurial spirit. Thank you for joining us.


Moving outside of Africa, United Nations agencies have launched an emergency appeal to respond to the soaring humanitarian needs following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The body has called for a total of $1.7 billion to help people who have fled the country and those still inside. Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths called for compassion to match the scale of the crisis. Griffiths explained that 40% of the former would be via cash delivery to deliver straight to the beneficiary in the country, with women and girls' needs especially looked after. He spoke alongside others. I have been coordinating in a regional response plan for the situation beyond Ukraine's borders, which Filippo leads and will talk about. The Flash Appeal for Response inside Ukraine, which I'm responsible for coordinating, will need $1.1 billion in funding for three months to help $6 million of the most vulnerable in Ukraine for that three months. And of those $6 million, we calculate over a million will be internally displaced. And I think the important point there is that those in need are not only those who move, but those in need will be those whose basic services have been destroyed, whose pensions have been stopped, whose internet has been stopped, whose healthcare. Last night at the Security Council, I reported 520,000 refugees. Now less than 24 hours before, the latest figure I just got it is 677,000. So another 150,000 added in less than 24 hours. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Vladimir Putin is prepared to use barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent citizens in Ukraine, but stressed he was convinced the Russian president will fail. Speaking during a joint news conference in Warsaw with the Polish counterpart, Matthews Maturaki, Johnson also praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his leadership and courage. Polish Prime Minister Matus Maturaki said that more sanctioned and strengthening the eastern flank of NATO are top priorities. The two leaders made the statements after holding bilateral talks on the situation in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is prepared to use barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians to bomb tower blocks, to send missiles into tower blocks, to kill children, as we're seeing in increasing numbers. He has fatally underestimated two things and the first is the passionate desire of the Ukrainian people to defend and protect their own country, their belief in their sovereign right to defend themselves and now pay tribute, by the way, to the leadership and courage that is being shown by Volodymyr Zelensky. Also, the United Kingdom has shown support for Ukraine's call that Russia be suspended from the Global Police Agency Interpol. British Interior Minister Priti Patel said the UK would rally international partners to also support the suspension. Making a statement to lawmakers on assistance for those fleeing Ukraine, Patel said some normal entry requirements had been waived. British citizens and settled persons in the UK would be able to bring over unlimited number of Ukrainian family members and an additional 100,000 Ukrainians are eligible, according to Patel. The Government of Ukraine has requested that the Russian government be suspended from Interpol, a position the UK wholeheartedly endorses and we are rallying other international partners to also call for the same and support. I've also removed the usual language requirements and salary thresholds to come to the UK to be with their family members and where family members of British nationals do not meet the usual eligibility criteria but do pass all security checks, we will give them permission to enter the UK outside the usual rules for 12 months. This means that British nationals and any person settled in the UK can bring over immediate Ukrainian family members. Through this policy alone, an additional 100,000 Ukrainians could be eligible to come to the UK and access work and public services. There is no limit on the numbers eligible under this route, Mr Speaker. News Updates

Tired of the every day grind ever dream of a life of Romantic adventure Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape Escape designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure There's a fortune in the cabin of an airplane crashed on an island Somewhere in the Caribbean and Only you know where it is by your side Sailing the treacherous channels a Smiling killer with a knife From whom there is No escape Listen now as escape brings you E. Jack Newman story the coward Your name, please Frank Dorian. I've come for employment and the employer of a Cina office is locked My old friend is what is it you wish I wish for you to keep trying with the English laser, baby You don't find Never mind the phone.   Can she spell Maria does fine come on in as the oil business Okay, lots of work as usual All your legs took 18 months in a hospital in Mexico City, but they're okay now What do you want Frank? You're giving it to me to give you what? The look the cold meat stuff We don't need any pilots nothing open here Frank. I'm not looking for work. I'm looking for a boat give up flying Did you for the moment? Yeah, that's on your mind One of those power launches out there like to rent one for about four or five days. Why? Floating over these waters a million times. I guess maybe I want to get a little closer to him To some fishing relax before I go back to the States. How about it? Those are company boats You know, I can't do anything like that. Sorry got 500 bucks for you. No, thanks 750 nope not for a million It's not a very friendly way to talk after 18 months I didn't know whether I'd ever see you again Frank, but I told myself if I did see you I'd put it right on the line You're yellow You let four people die You bailed out of that plane and you didn't even tell them how to get into their parachute harness There wasn't time but the board of inquiry report said there was time enough for you to get out Maybe that's okay for the board of inquiry, but I say it was your job to look out for your passengers first So I'll tell you again.   I thought I find you here Where else you go on a hot night in Mexican town even outside like this? Oh, sit down Like you better out of your office. What's your name? Maria de Sarva? Where's your home Maria here? And lots of Americans around gives you taste what it's like in the good old USA, huh? See I Want to go there very much to the United States Maybe one of those American college boy engineers working for Ryan will turn the trick for you with the two haircuts and the things They say with the wink of the eye.    Maybe Okay, yes, what is you laugh at me?  Sure. I'll walk It's funny.  That is why I find you Think you want to run a boat bad very bad. You talk like you got one in a little way I do have one when you got a fishing jig Your popper your brother got a little squirt of a bark that I can stand up and take through the surf. No It is a power launch Like those over there power launch belongs to someone. I know You buy it from one of the old company two year gone make it over use it for big fishing. It's a good boat very good Maybe he ran it to you if I ask him. Where is it? There Want to look sure Where's your friend? He's away now Goes us a boat. It's good enough for fishing That is why you wish a boat Yes, you see good engines. Yeah, I'd have to hear them. You can't tell about looking He got many times in this boat four or five six days at sea Well, Maria, I'll tell you what you do you tell your friend I'm interested in renting it for five days. Tell them I'll give him three hundred bucks Would laugh at you. You can take it or leave it. We'll leave it and I guess it's no deal Thanks for showing me. This is the only boat around here that is not owned by the sellers are oil company You do not take this one.  Huh? Maybe I should say how will you get to the island without a boat? Two months they searched for the plane and then it was decided crashing to the sea But it did not go into the sea He's still out there somewhere on one of the silence. Do you need a boat together? You're crazy. I know there was a payroll on that plane $80,000 You got it all figured haven't you? Suppose what you say is true, and I took this boat. What then? Suppose I just let it lay suppose. I didn't hear what you just said Suppose it means nothing then I go to the police and tell them what I think you think they'd listen If I told them how anxious you are about a boat the police year and the insurance company the bonding company in the oil company They asked all the questions they want They were on me for three months while I was in a hospital with my legs in the hoist Maybe you haven't got such a good thing at that. No So we know where we stand there. What about your friend? I would pay him for my half All right Sunday morning six o'clock enough fuel and food to last for five days This thing's in shape if your friend's okay, and if I feel like it I might take a trip Hey, I'm Rico you are the Americano How's your English Rico see very good? Where's brown eyes brown? I Maria. Oh, Maria. She's in the galley. She fixed food You hungry? Goodie Maria. Good cook fine fine. Hey, we have no sugar hands your buddy. I shake body Okay, buddy See if you can shake this bag below Oh Hi, Maria. Hello come down to see yourself. I'm going with you Okay Okay, by me as matter of fact, it'll make it nicer. You do something to a boat, baby You meet Rico. Yes. Yeah, I met him some clown. What's he's always smiling about because very good sailor He acts like he's getting ready to go to a circus. Don't have to worry about Rico. Okay. I won't As long as you keep your hands off of me And we're all ready to go the engine is fine, then what are we waiting for you? Better for kind of Zaba point kind of Zaba and then what and then I'll tell you Boena All right, what are you standing there for? Let's get going Okay, buddy Frank I am afraid now Rico. He's dangerous. He's not like the way you act to me The way you make him embarrassed he'll live But will you he wants to get to that island doesn't he see and I'm the only one who knows where it is That is true, but but what? But I am thinking of the time after we have been there. He's feeling that Come here. What let's settle it now Rico see Give me a match. Hmm. That's for a Sabrina Match, huh? Hey, I don't have much I do Yeah Like me like yourself Get up now like me Okay, buddy any questions Rico Maria, I guess everybody understands everybody You are listening to the coward tonight's presentation of escape French German Italian Swedish Nobody has trouble understanding the language when the language is music Tomorrow CBS radio presents the classic works of the composers round the world on our world music festivals Here at tomorrow on most of these stations and now back to escape and the second act of the coward see Well, are we can his abba that is the point there never seen it from the water. It looks different And he's eat Okay, let's look at that compass of yours. You know what you do Anna Okay, we set here you steer this line see and keep on it for how long is no island that way only the open sea no Island you ever been that way. Oh, I had Okay, buddy You're asleep. I'm not sleep What you and Rico, huh?  You're shivering I wish nothing to happen to you. I don't get it get it you and smiling boy when all this is over What happened? Rico and guy go to United States. I thought it was something like that. So why worry about me? I I'll tell you Even with $40,000 you might not be able to make it immigration stuff and the money wouldn't help much if they were looking for you as Immigration can be awful tough on the illegal entries You got something like that in mind. I speak to you later. No right now This chip isn't gonna last much longer Insight tomorrow morning once we get that cash in our hands Rico isn't gonna play along if I got him pegged right You know what? I'm talking about baby.  Yeah, you two talked it over. Let me tell you this Rico isn't gonna be able to get you into the United States, but I can you if you are my wife Frank What would happen to Rico? What do you think? Gally buddy, you're right. What island the call is they call them nothing But they're the spring end of the Santa Gabriel's as near as I can figure it. Which one which one we go to buddy I'll head her in for that point of rock there. Haha. Well, I better check Frank huh or not, I think of what you say. Yeah, I am with you. Okay Did you do that gone? I need it. Hi get rid of him right now. We don't need him anymore, but the boat I can handle What's the matter The reef the water is not deep enough. We hit the reef. We lose the boat It just changed my mind about something You troll from right here Rico you take soundings as fast as you can I'll take the wheel They'll take both of us, but we'll find our way through the rocks. Oh, it's no good. I need a light Rico. Huh? Give me a light kiddo Okay What do you know get your line out and let's get those engines revved up six No five and a half Five Okay, we draw three feet that gives us a foot extra. Hold on to your hat buddy.  I hope you pick the right island buddy.  Okay there the island in place. Yeah Just who I thought By golly buddy a long time. I think maybe this is just a trick You're not sure the plane did not burn, but you want to look I want to look too now. I see You okay, buddy? We all be rich a barrier. See that is what you want to do. See Golly, we have it now. It's getting late.  Why not nothing to eat nothing to drink. It's hot day and night We go take her in as close as you can and we'll wait. Okay Thank yeah, it's all right Fine nothing to worry about now Nothing at all. What do you mean? You and I can bring it back to the rocks alone. Okay, let's go I'll give you a hand over the side Maria. Thank you Why is it the planes not find her? It didn't look in the right place. She's half buried in a loose rock How you doing? Play a mess Where anything's the money buddy in the baggage compartment.  Yeah Got it. It's locked. Give me a knife.  I Think it's nice.  I'd be dead by now But it will happen to us. We got to get some help make flares signal something Do you think anybody see somebody has food? There's no food only say on the rock the radio Radio on the plane look this smash two pieces.  I suppose you could build a fire I keep those north as I lost a lot of blood sleep is best now. You're not saying maybe it's better to think Look, I still have the gun what when the food problem gets tough. I mean when it gets too bad, maybe It's no way to go starving. I mean all my life.  I didn't mean for it to end this way Maria I'd like to tell you something When that plane ran out of gas I tried to tell those four workers how to get into the shoots. I really tried They didn't speak English, and I didn't speak their language, and I just wasn't time I Could have stayed with the plane and died then maybe it would have been better, but I bailed out and I saw it crash here In a hospital. I got the idea about the money. Why you say this to me?  Just a kid who wanted to go to the States I'd have been proud to take you there You love me. Yeah, I believe you It is a good feeling We truly died, but it is a good feeling the boat what the boat it is back. It goes back. Can you walk?  He came back. I can't believe it Wait, what? She's stuck in the sand. She's unmanned. He did not come back for us. No that boat just drifted in come on Couldn't get out couldn't get through the reef alone in the knife fight. He bled He's dead, Marianne Now we will leave made it this far, baby. Open see your head See safe happens when we get back in the money see goes to Ryan for the whole story Everything you'd have to be everything But I might put you in prison They did I Wait, I will wait for you. We haven't got anything to worry about Maria Take the wheel Escape produced and directed by David Friedkin and Morton Fine has brought you the coward a story by E.

Mijn naam is Marjolein Wotring, ik ben project-manager van Archie Hotspot. Een nieuw concept van participatie en archeologie in de Nederland. Eerst laten we de concept uitleggen. Archie Hotspot is plaats van museum, excavatiezijds en historieke locaties waar we in de wereld van archeologie kunnen stijgen, zonder alle barrières in je achterkant te houden. Waar archeologische objecten gewoon op de tafel zijn en waar je om jezelf te pakken, assisteer met de research en vragen alle vragen die je kunt hebben over archeologie. Op Archie Hotspot kan de publiek in archeologische researchen en met reale archeologen. Archeologische volonteers en andere supporten de publiek in areas of research die anders zouden worden gebleven, zoals puzzeling-together fragmenten of sorgen-residue van een cespit. Waarschijnlijk kunnen de publiek hun eigen vormen om ze te beëvaliëren, ontstaan of uitleggen. Het unieke ding over elke archeologie is dat het het eigen lokale, originele thema heeft. Bijvoorbeeld in Castellum Hogewoord, in de Lijtserijn district of Utrecht, zijn er mainly locally excavated Roman materials, zoals roof tiles.  En in Boxdol, de prehistoric museum is de oudste financemuseum in Nederland. Het project is een initiatief van de Alapusa Museum in Amsterdam, waar de eerste archeologische spot open is na de eind 2014. Het concept is nu rond 4 jaar oud van sterkte tot sterkte. En de idee achter is om de publiek te ontwikkelen om in archeologische research te participeren en te introduceren van lege mensen naar het gebied. Volonteers staffen de archeologische spot en procesen de archeologische vormen op de dagen wanneer er niet veel of niet veel bezoekers zijn. Als er ervan van de publiek zijn, volonteers helpen ze met hun research en zeggen de verhaal achter het. Zoals volonteers zijn de drijf achter de archeologische spot. Het seemed obvious dat er een collaboratie zou zijn met de AWN, de association van amateurs of volonteers in archeologie in Nederland. Maar de volonteers staffen in archeologische spot niet nodig moeten zijn om deze association te zijn. Ze kunnen ook gewoon mensen die de publiek genieten en in archeologie en historie interesseven. We're a small national organization which not only supports new and existing locations in setting up of permanent and temporary hotspots. We also help to train and develop volunteers. And to guarantee a certain quality in the various hotspots training is offered to all volunteers and this covers everything from specific archeology related knowledge to general ethics and hospitality. So we have been offering training courses in legislation and ethics but also in Roman archeological finds and general introduction to archeology for those who have no archeological background. You can find archeological hotspots in different types of locations such as museums or heritage centres. At the moment we have eight permanent hotspots en two will be opening shortly so we end up with 10 hotspots throughout the country and in addition to permanent hotspots we're also opening so-called mobile hotspots or pop-up hotspots and they are regularly used at festivals, markets and we have a certain event in the Netherlands called Dutch National Archeology Days and then you see all kind of institutions using mobile hotspots Together all these hotspots form a Knowledge and Information Network and the coordinators of the various hotspots get together on a regular basis to exchange information and share their experiences and they can also use each other's network to gather information for example on an object that the visitor has brought in. A new phase was launched at the beginning of 2016 to improve distribution across the Netherlands we're almost at the end of that phase and I think it's kind of spread around the Netherlands At the moment I think around 120.000 people have so far made use of it and the emphasis lies not only on archaeological research but also on learning and informing the public It's possible to visit a hotspot with your own finds and you can ask any kind of unrelated archaeological question about it Archaeology volunteers public and active participation are the keywords that make the concept a success In fact such a success that the project recently received the Grote Archaeologieprijs which is a major Dutch Archaeology Award More and more municipalities and provinces are discovering the possibilities of archaeologists fulfilling their public duty Although sometimes it's a bit of a core to work with a depot in question to find suitable materials without detracting from the depot's core responsibility Yet it can also do something for the public for the depots and the academic world In fact, usually depots are full of unfinished research and unique objects but there's often a lack of opportunities to do anything with them Archaeology hotspots offer the opportunity to follow this kind of situation up in a useful and interactive manner I've got one example I don't have a picture of it but there was a project in Nijmegen which was called Looking for Mitras This project was being sorted in the Archaeology hotspot and contributed directly to an outstanding hypothesis dat couldn't be tested earlier because the necessary archaeological finds hadn't been sorted Once these were sorted in the Archaeology hotspot it became apparent that the hypothesis had to be disproved which was satisfying for the analysis as well as for the volunteers Thank you


Live from the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, it's The Cube at the HGST Press and Industry Analyst Briefing brought to you by headline sponsor HGST. Here are your hosts, Stu Miniman and Jeff Frick. Welcome back to the Sheridan Palace in downtown San Francisco. I'm Jeff Frick and you're watching The Cube. We're here at the HGST Industry Analyst and Press Day for a whole bunch of announcements and exciting news and I'm joining this segment with my co-host. Hey Jeff, I'm Stu Miniman with wikibond.org and joining us for this segment we have Dave Tang who's the VP of Corporate Development Strategy with HGST. Dave, thank you so much for joining us. Pleasure to be here, Stu. Alright, so a lot of announcements today. We've been digging through all of it with your whole management team, some of the industry watchers and the like and so, you know, you cover strategy. So, you know, HGST has gone through a bit of a maturation going from, you know, just doing this to doing many more things. Talk to us, you know, what's your involvement in the launch? Right. Well, overall the storage industry is changing. I think we've gone through a period where storage solutions for data centers were built exclusively by large system OEM companies. But with the growth, rapid growth in cloud data centers, that model has changed and evolved rapidly. So, strategically, we need to recognize that shift and the implications on the types of solutions, the scalability and flexibility and affordability of the solutions needed and look to how we leverage our expertise and knowledge on the fundamental building blocks of storage, whether it be SSD or hard drives, and create higher value capabilities for our customers. So as the leader of the strategy for the company, we're looking to understand what the next generation of solutions need to look like, what's important to cloud data centers as they grow and scale and add more services and how we fill the gaps, either organically through our own research and development organizations or how we look outside to fill those gaps. All right. So, a big piece of that, if we're to create building blocks, the announcement that you had today is what you call the active archiving platform. Yes. Which, there's a lot of pieces that made up that from my notes, that you've got the optimized hard disk drives, which are the helium, you've got tuned enclosures, you've got device affinity, and you've got to scale out software. I mean, wow, this isn't just take a component and do a little work on it. I mean, it sounds like this is something you guys have been working on for a while. So can you bring us inside and talk to how you guys created this new offer? Sure. So, the first step is always to get out of the box, and that's such a commonly used term, but for us, it really means if you're going to solve problems at scale, you really have to think about them differently. Solving problems at scale can't be done by just taking more of the same things that you have and gluing them all together, because inevitably you'll run into problems with manageability or other aspects of that type of scaling. So, what we did was we took a clean slate approach and really looked at what the objective was. So the objective was to create storage solutions that had the highest density, high scalability, capacity, and most importantly, affordability out there in the marketplace, because we fundamentally believe that data wasn't being stored because it wasn't affordable to store that data. So rather than take the typical approach where someone would take an enclosure that may store 48 drives or 60 drives and just start dropping drives in at the highest capacity possible, we asked ourselves, what would the system look like if we wanted to push the capacity of the drives to a higher level, a higher limit? And the reason why drives are potentially limited in the specifications they have is because to ensure the capacity and reliability at a certain point, we need to design the drives to work in any enclosure built in the industry, right? Different heat and power profiles, different vibrational characteristics. But if we design the enclosure, we know exactly where those drives are going, we can tune and optimize those drives to maximize the capacity. We get even more value out of them in terms of capacity and performance. So the type of approach of taking a clean slate approach and driving more value is really what got us to where we are. All right, so Dave, that's a great point, is general purpose devices have such a broad spectrum that they need to fit into. When we talk to Amazon, when they build an architecture, it needs to go in one data center, their own, and therefore they understand exactly what the characteristics is. So I guess the question I have is, when you build these enclosures, when this go in the cloud and in the enterprise, most enterprise data centers are limited on space and its power density is one of the big challenges that they have. So what's the appropriate places that this new solution can fit into? So these solutions are designed for any data center, whether it be cloud or enterprise, and the points that you made in terms of space and power are really what drove us to the design that we arrived at. So having the highest density solutions, being able to put over 10 petabytes in a single rack, is a breakthrough level of density. So we take up less floor space from the data center. And then because we're leveraging our unique helium technology, which consumes 40 to 50% lower power per terabyte within the storage device, we can lower the power consumption not only in terms of what is required to power the infrastructure, but the cooling cost of the data center, which we all know is significant. And then for new data centers that are being built, they don't have to pay the price for pulling high power infrastructure to each rack and pay the tax associated with that. So we're saving in the cost of the data center build out in a lot of ways. So can you share how much power per rack it does take just if I loaded this up to a full capacity? Well, we're not releasing specifications yet. Those will be available in early 2015. But our goal is to hit the absolute lowest power per terabyte being shipped in the industry. So a lot of your customers, are you finding they need this now because they've just hit the peak in terms of the power capacity that they can get into that particular facility? Or are they taking advantage of this new capacity you're freeing up in the form of footprint and power and using that now to capture that extra data that they couldn't really hold economically before? What are you kind of seeing as the actual business impact in the marketplace? Well, there's both. The great thing about the place that we're in in the industry is that data is growing at such a fast rate and an exponential rate that there are a lot of new data centers being designed and built right now. So in addition to the refreshes that are going on, we're looking at a lot of new data center build out projects with our partners and customers. And what they're really interested in is they know that the data is growing at an exponential level, but they don't want to increase their expenses at an exponential level to keep up with that. So they have to find something that breaks the model of the traditional storage solutions. And they're really excited about the innovations that we've developed. I'm curious, on a lot of the new data centers, a great quote I heard at VMworld the other day from a friend. He goes, you know, even turkeys can fly in the storm. You know, the market is so hot. There's just so much new capacity coming on. Are they using industry standard servers and stuff? Or are they looking to more specialized solutions that you guys can deliver on the storage on these kind of green field new data centers that are going in? Well, it depends whether you're talking about servers that are running the applications or servers that are part of the storage infrastructure because part of the software defined storage solutions is that they have software that needs to run on a process or on a server somewhere. So what we're finding is the vast majority of users are looking for complete solutions. So even though there are software capabilities in object storage and there are high capacity storage arrays that could be purchased and white box servers that can be purchased, the integration of those elements into a complete solution are really hard. So we've heard time and time again that customers and users are looking to deploy complete solutions as opposed to investing in that bring up because at the end of the day, cloud service providers want to develop new offerings for their customers to attract and retain their customers. They don't want to spend time integrating their infrastructure and keeping the infrastructure running. That should just be part of a utility that they rely on as opposed to necessarily a core competency that they have to invest a lot of money in. So Dave, the 10 terabyte drive breakthrough in the industry. Absolutely. Can you give us a little bit of insight? What had to happen? You pulled together SMR and the helium to be able to make this. Is the ecosystem ready for all of this? And what's it going to take to drive that forward? Sure. So SMR does take some adaptation from the ecosystem in that because of the shingled nature of the tracks, you need to be sensitive about how you're writing to the data. The drives like to see long sequential rights to it as opposed to a lot of random writing. And that can be adapted in mass, but the risk is that you get performance that is less predictable. So some adaptation has to take place either within the operating system or a file system or within the storage solution altogether. Part of the strategy that HGST has in delivering these complete high scale out solutions is that we can, in parallel with the drive development, we can develop the system level capabilities that take advantage of things like the 10 terabyte breakthrough capacity and deliver those to market and let users enjoy the benefits of that lower cost per terabyte in a more accelerated fashion. They don't have to wait for the rest of the ecosystem to come together, which oftentimes can take years. All right, so in your presentation earlier, you said that 75% of the new apps in the cloud are big data or analytics related. I'm curious, what are you doing to get ready for what sometimes called the cloud mobile or third platform applications? Right, well, precisely the elements that we talked about today. So number one is storing more data so that we can accommodate those big data intensive applications. But once that data is available, it needs to be processed or transformed quickly. And that's where our application acceleration solutions that Gus talked about, flash based solutions with clustering software and virtualization software come into play. So we're looking at providing a full portfolio of capabilities that address the diverse needs of the cloud that not only need big data capabilities, but big data analytics and processing capabilities. So back to the act of archiving, there's been a ton of new solutions in that marketplace. Everything from what Amazon does with Glacier through traditional storage players, releasing archiving as many different technologies out there. Can you explain to us how is active archiving different from, say, cold storage? Sure, so I think cold storage covers a pretty broad set of use cases. I guess the simplest way to think about it is that cold storage is storage that's used for data that's not hot. So it could be data that is past its create and modify phase, but it could go all the way down to storage that's used for pure archival purposes. So when we talk about active archive, we're talking about a subset of what's typically thought of as cold storage. And the active part is the key word in that in order to make use of vast amounts of data that are being stored, you need to get to it quickly, much faster than what you could do with a tape library or an optical library, you would need access times, certainly in the sub-second type of time frame. So that's a distinct difference of creating disk-based active archive solutions as opposed to some of the other either tape-based or hybrid solutions that are out there. The other piece that was talked about quite a bit this morning was the device affinity. And I wonder if you could drill down into that. It was described as really being able to use the hard knocks that you guys have already learned in the bumps and the bruises and save those from your customer by having a group of things that have been put together and you've kind of learned the hard lessons. Talk about how that's a business advantage and really what the benefit is to the customers. Sure, so for us it means understanding what the underlying technologies are in the drives and where we have opportunities to push the capabilities of the devices even further. And specific to what we were talking about with the active archive platform, it's ability to know how to design an enclosure that contains the drives so that we can squeeze more capacity out of the drives. So that's an example of device affinity. And it can come in the form of hardware, mechanical design, as well as firmware capabilities that get more value out of the sum of the parts than just the bare sum of the parts. So the value that we can pass on to our customers and their users is higher value. So looking to provide significantly lower costs per terabyte to them enables them to store more data, which enables them in turn to extract more value out of that data and that continues to fuel the cycle. Yeah, and you had also talked quite a bit about the percentage of the data in the digital universe that's going to be usable, correct me if I'm wrong, is growing. Yes, absolutely. We said from 17% to 22% last year to 37% in 2020. How much of that is the actual value of the data or the changing economics that now make the value of that data go above the break even threshold? So based on the research that's been done to date, that increase would appear to be based solely on the value of that data, the value that you can extract from that data, because as I mentioned, only 40% of that data out in 2020 is expected to be stored based on projections of capacity shipments. So I think the missing piece of the puzzle that the market needs to embrace or understand better is what we're working on, on fundamentally different scales of economies that allow you to store that remaining 60%. It's like the Google, right? They store everything, nothing ever gets deleted. So that's kind of the theory that you're. Right, but you have to be able to do it on an economical basis, right? So Dave, I want to talk about the storage administrator because you talked about how we're going to get eight times more data by the time we get to 2020, but we know headcounts pretty much flat. So is the manageability of this something that your customers, the cloud service providers or your OEMs are going to handle, or do you handle that piece of it all? Yeah, that's absolutely key. And I think in terms of providing a solution to the marketplace, we have to take a strong level of contribution there and ownership in that experience with the customer. Because as I said, our cloud customers want to focus on developing new services for their customers. They don't want to spend time managing the infrastructure. So the easier we can make it for them to deploy and manage the infrastructure, the more data they can afford to give, the more services they can create for their customers. And that serves the entire ecosystem. So we know that cloud guys do things a little bit differently. What do you see from the OEMs that, you know, buy your stuff and the enterprise end users? Are they understanding the cloud operational model and how to, you know, not need to touch all the gear, not need to hyper-optimize everything based on the application, but to build kind of self-managing infrastructure? Absolutely. I think we're seeing a big change in the industry right now where our OEM system customers as well as enterprise customers are realizing that the long qualification periods and rigorous testing and validation of systems is no longer really required in a cloud environment. It's really about gaining agility through the elasticity and the scalability of the hardware and software that they're using. So I think there's a mass movement towards these cloud environments. And in fact, a lot of enterprises have split IT organizations, right? They have those that manage the traditional enterprise data centers, and then they have others that work on projects that leverage the value of the cloud. And that gets better utilization and lower cost out of the infrastructure. But more importantly, for the people that are using that infrastructure within their company, the developers, that self-serve capability to get a hold of and provision computing resources makes their entire corporation a lot more nimble. All right, so for the active archiving platform, obviously there's a good fit for that in the cloud service providers. Should we expect to see OEMs of this from some of the traditional server and storage players? So it really depends on the vertical markets that the enterprise is playing. There are certain verticals that are very data intensive, right? Biotech and pharma and other healthcare players have to retain data for compliance reasons. So they're very focused on economical solutions for the storage of data. And there are other verticals as well. Oil and gas tends to be a typical one in research as well. So we do expect a lot of enterprise users in key verticals to be adopting this technology. Great, well Dave, thanks for stopping by. Exciting times. Yeah, very exciting times. Pleasure to be here. You guys are playing both sides. You're playing the Flash. You're playing the active archive, the high capacity drives.  Well, there's a tremendous amount of opportunity. It's great. So I'm Jeff Frick. You're watching theCUBE. We're at the HGST Press and Industry Analyst Event at the Sheridan Palace in downtown San Francisco. We'll be right back with our next segment after the short break.


And if you're wondering how this went down so quick, folks, at the close, the bottom line is that we have volatile markets, but what you also had is that you had several Cheryl Sandburne just resigned as the CEO, CFO, bottom line is that that took 10 points off Facebook at about a heartbeat, which brought the NQs in the Dow down. Gold, gold contract out here up $2.30 traded at 18.50 an ounce, yet silver up 18 cents, $21.87 an ounce, light sweet crude up 49 cents, trade $115.16 a barrel, notes and bonds, the 10-year down 24 ticks trading out at a price point of $118.22, the 30-year off 27 at $138.19, the 10-year right now folks has been yielding rather $2.976. Looks to me tomorrow morning we're going to be back in the threes once again, and $Kingdala, $Kingdala got a good bounce going out here up 796 ticks at 102, 549, Euro 106, Yen 130.18 and the British Prime won $24 to one US dollar. Well you know when we take a look at the S&Ps, we're looking at here folks, you get a sideways move, yeah we're down, but realistically there's still sideways move, 81 million shares traded, you know bottom line, you know Thursday, Friday, I suspect we're still going to go sideways. If we start heading down tomorrow or the next day, it's really going to be faster than I thought. Most times folks, when you take a look at this market, what we have done is this, is that if you go all the way back to March 29th, right, it was a straight line move down March 29th until a week ago, you know that's a fast move down. So you get a bounce going, you go three days sideways, more than likely you're going to go five days sideways, that will build enough cause to go after the lows number one, because that's a high volume low that we have that's established out here on the 20th of May. Go after that, we'll see what's going to be an ABC structure on the way down. We go look at the MDX 100, you get the same setup inside the MDX, MDX out here, bottom line, you did 62 million shares and that's setting up a bearish engulfing man, you know let's say that they, that potential ABC structure down that B point is game, that's the bottom line. Have a great night folks, have a safe night, come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning, kicks us off nine o'clock in the morning, great show folks. Look at him folks.


Now the other way that you can do this is if I wanted to connect it to the second node is I can record the receive payment and make a deposit at this point in time. So let me just show you that. I can say, okay, let's go to the, let's do that again. This time I'm going to do it for, this time I'm going to do it for the $300. So I'll go first tab. We'll say let's make another invoice, boom, invoice. And I'm going to say customer four, five, customer number five. I don't know why I even need to make a new customer. I could just, but no, I just want to, want to make it all differentiated by customer. Makes perfect sense.  What was the dollar amount again? The dollar amount was 300, 300. Okay. So this is going to increase accounts receivable. The other side's going to go to sales because it's an invoice and the sub ledger for customer five will also be reflecting that as well. So let's save that and close it. Let's go to the balance sheet just to double check it. So now we've got the accounts receivable, went up customer number five, 300, boom. Other sides on the income statement. I got to refresh it. If I want to see it, which I do. So I'm going to refresh it and go into customer number five. There is that one. There's the 300. Okay. Going back on over, then the sub ledger is impacted. And if I go into the first tab and look at my customers over here, I now have customer number five with an outstanding item. The next thing we would expect to happen is we receive the payment. So again, you could wait till it clears the bank and try to connect the bank feed to the invoice, but we're going to record the receive payment and deposit it directly into the checking account with the receive payment thing this time instead of using the clearing account. So I'm going to say, let's do a receive payment. We got paid. We're going to record it on our end. And I'm just going to not put it into the, into the clearing account, but rather directly into the checking account. So now it's going to go into the checking account with a receive payment form instead of a deposit form, but the transaction will go into the bank. That means when I check it to the deposits, it's just like I'm checking a normal deposit doing normal bank reconciliation stuff, right? Because I'm not actually going to record a new transaction with the bank feeds. Now it's just going to verify the transaction that I did record ties into what happened on the bank side. So that's just normal bank reconciliation stuff. So I'm going to go back on over to the balance sheet and I'm going to say, all right, now if I go into my checking, let's check out the checking. Then this one was for $300. I should have a sales receipt. It should look a payment type of form. There it is. I think that's the one for 300. So if I go into that, there it is for customer number five. And I scroll up to the top, the other side decreased the accounts receivable. So I go into the accounts receivable and we can see that what happened. There we go. So that has decreased. So we've got the increases and decreases. This is what happens in accounts receivable. You should be able to tick and tie stuff off. It goes up and then it goes down invoice and then you get the payment. And then the other side is going to go on to, if I look at my detail over here on the customer side of things for customer number five. Now I've got the invoice and the payment. So if I look at the invoice, it has now been paid matching the payment. So that looks good.


Okay, so now let's convert the next one, 12 gallons, to quarts. So remember, the first thing we do is write n equals 12 gallons. And we don't have to memorize the conversion factor, but we got it from the page before. It's 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Okay, so remember, you want to give this to be quarts at the end. So in order to do that, you've got to cancel gallons out. So gallons has got to be at the bottom, and quarts is at the top. So we want this to be a conversion factor. So 4 quarts over 1 gallon, or 4 quarts equals 1 gallon. So all we do is 12 times 4, and you can use your calculator. But luckily enough, I can do that in my head. It's 48 quarts. And is that the right number of sig figs? Well, it's 2. So do we count these? No, because it's the conversion factor. We only use the number that's given to us in the problem. And that's got 2 sig figs, so that's got 2 sig figs. So we'll do one more today, or involved one, and then I'll let you guys go.


نحن نعود إلى أخر محاولة This is a 62-year-old female who presented with blood in the urine Initially she was treated for a bladder infection but the bleeding persisted so she was evaluated further and was found to have kidney cancer we'll look at images in a minute but her past history she has reflux symptoms, diabetes and she is in excellent health otherwise she has no symptoms related to cancer but the laboratory investigation shows this is a blood test called Lactate dehydrogenase when it's elevated it indicates a high tumor burden the upper limit of normal in our lab is 618 so this is more than twice higher than the upper limit of normal this is a function of the filtration of the kidney it's called Estimated GFR Glominal Filtration Rate as we heard this morning the normal is 60 and above this is clearly reduced filtration rate so she has compromised kidney function but the rest of her labs are within normal limits and there is no evidence of metastatic disease to bone or brain by these imaging studies and here is her scan and you can see a very large mass arising from the right kidney and what would you do, Dr. Karam? the mass looks unusual in its configuration and you can see part of the right kidney it looks like it's de-vascularized almost the lower part and it's replacing the actual kidney itself and there's also some enlarged nodes behind the vena cava and between the vena cava and the aorta and I can't tell what's going on with the adrenal yet but it is a bit unusual and this is someone I would probably recommend a biopsy before we proceed with any further therapies Dr. Matee do you recommend there is no metastatic disease? yes, so I think that biopsies is an intriguing option and I think reasonable for the reasons Dr. Karam mentions the thing is you think about doing surgery and you're going to remove all visible disease so why not? the problem is when it's in the lymph nodes and if it's clear cell it's not really going to be curative if it's something else or if it has sarcomatoid then even less so so I mean I don't want to get overly technical in terms of all those different things but I actually think biopsy is pretty reasonable okay well this is her katskin the chest and she has here enlarged lymph nodes but she does have metastatic disease so there are enlarged lymph nodes in the chest and again here is we see the mass in the right kidney now with this information large mass in the right kidney enlarged lymph nodes near the right kidney and these lymph nodes in the chest how would your management change? Dr. Matee I'd feel even better about doing a biopsy okay Dr. Wood do you agree? or would you go straight to surgery? I actually don't agree I think that again the vast majority of this patient's disease is in her abdomen and is surgically resectable I'll buy you know it would be a big surgery she has an excellent performance status there's really no contra indications to doing surgery and so I would go with a right radical nephrectomy and resect the nodal disease that's present in the retroperitoneum and allow her to recover and reassess and then decide on systemic therapy based on the histology of the primary tumor okay we'll hear it from the medical oncologist Dr. Pile would you do a biopsy as recommended by Dr. Matee and Dr. Karam and then how would that change your approach? I don't think it's right or wrong but I would probably go without the wood to do the surgery I don't I mean I would always say whether this is a urethelocarsinoma or other more rare type of kidney cancer but you know primarily the tumor isn't a kidney and this patient is relatively symptomatic I would take the kidney out Dr. Harrison you agree so first? yeah I agree I mean there's always the concern it's some unusual histology but I agree with that I would recommend you to correct me and resection of all the lymph nodes that are visible at the time of surgery the pathology consistent with what you suspected a rare kidney cancer that's called translocation carcinoma of the kidney we refer to it as XP11 .2 and you know we know she has metastatic disease that's the M1 the nodes the maker M1 and the T3A the positive for metastasis tumor involvement with extranoidal extension now what do you recommend Dr. Pillay you suspected she may have rare tumor would your systemic therapy now be influenced by the pathology Nizar could you just explain the importance of or what the significance of extranoidal extension is for the patient yeah extranoidal extension of lymph nodes is worse carries worse than if the nodes are still confined so even though she had a resection of all the lymph nodes that carries a worse prognosis Dr. Pillay the pathology now indicating this rare tumor type does that influence your selection of systemic therapy this is a challenging case because this is a really very rare kidney cancer and we don't know what's the best option for the patient of course a surgery is probably the best option but that's it hasn't really solved the issue here there are some I believe some case reported about them to in Hebrews in this in this kidney cancer type but I would because we don't know how to treat it I'm a little bit positive about this patient she's 62 usually we do see this in younger in younger patient and more more visceral metastasis than lymph node metastasis but it is what it is so I was still probably treated with the drug that we have for advanced kidney cancer chemotherapy sometimes the disease is growing very rapidly and it has involvement in the leave of the lungs I would treat it with standard drugs Doctor Harrison is there a role for RL2 here in this lady with this tumor type I think it's unknown but I doubt I wouldn't use IL2 so as the panelist mentioned this is a rare kidney tumor but now it's estimated that 1% of adults with renal sarcarcinoma have this type so when you do what we call FISH on these tumors you diagnose the translocation in 1% so it's still rare 1% is rare IL2 is not recommended for patients with non-clear cell types but only for the clear cell so I agree I think how those IL2 is not an option here and the prognosis of these tumors if they're older and Doctor Pillay made the point that these are usually seen in pediatric ages adolescents and young adults and rarely in older people they do present with bulky disease and lymph node metastasis and they are treated as we treat other types preferably on a clinical trial and we have a clinical trial at MD Anderson for non-clear cell as well as the Duke group and we have a study for these patients they're calling it the ASPEN trial and it's looking at treating those patients into two groups one group with Evrolimus an employer inhibitor and one group with synitinib and we have the same trial we call it ESPM trial and it's Evrolimus versus synitinib again for these patients with these rare tumors but we always go to研究 but we will know what we want to work on is that we can come up with new videos and watch the content and will add new videos لا أعلم إذا أعلمنا if we know the answer to that at this point. Well, I mean that's the challenge is that this is such a rare histology that, you know, we can't look at the last 500 patients that had translocation tumor because we don't have 500 patients. And, you know, I think in the absence of, you know, effective systemic therapy that, you know, radical tumor debulking represents this patient's best chance at having some sort of prolongation of life. I think if you look, if you extrapolate from the pediatric literature, translocation in young adults or pediatrics, children, the approach has been, before all these target therapies came to existence, was to do multiple resections. The resection is obviously nephrectomy and then removing lymph nodes and continuing to go on and doing successive resections. And these patients live many years and the prognosis is better when you're able to perform surgery. So in this, in her case, it is, you know, she's lucky. I believe that she presented with resectable disease at the time of initial diagnosis that she's able to get the bulk of her disease out.


This is a program about both big and small ideas, but really bringing things together in a way that is thoughtful and I think really innovative. It will inform your teaching, but I also think it will inform your practice and your research and the way that you reflect on how you communicate the work that you do. I would encourage students who are interested in teaching to apply to cattle, but I would also encourage students who just want to know more about how to communicate with people to apply for cattle. It is a course that dissects about teaching and learning in more advanced classrooms like a university setting or some time graduate level. But what I've learned from the cattle course is teaching as a skill itself and a transferable skills that allow me to learn more about just communicating with other people and how to properly convey information to other people. The cattle session that I remember the most would probably be the disciplinary identity one. I never considered the importance of the ethics of learning ever. I never realized how important that was. I don't think a lot of people realize how important that is, that there are ethical and moral responsibilities involved in the teaching practice. I always tell people the cattle program is like inception, like you show up and you expect to be sort of presented with something, but all along halfway through you're like the instructors are doing it to us. We are learning what they want to be teaching us by experiencing it. I describe cattle as a journey to explore the teaching inside yourself and yourself too. Cattle helped me to navigate my skills and the strength that I have and the area that I need to work on it. It also helped me to think about teaching in general. I believe teaching is a journey that everyone does. You don't have to be a teacher to teach. I love interdisciplinary environments very, very much. I think so often fields are doing their own thing and no one's communicating and no one's sharing their knowledge, let alone having common ground. So the common ground for all of us in the cohort was teaching and learning. So I found not only did I leave learning, having learned something greater about teaching and learning, but I somehow walk away with knowledge in kinesiology or I somehow walk away with knowledge in psychology or creative writing. And that has been a lot of fun.
