Welcome back to the most prolific meme rating show on all of the internet. Hosted by the most prolific meme raider on all of the internet. Hey, I put out this tweet on Twitter. I would kindly ask that you send me your greatest 10 out of 10 memes at once. With a couple exclamation mark emojis. And so that's what y'all did. Hopefully you don't let me down today, fellas. Absolutely. Yeah, let's get into it. Agent, roast Ronny2k. Ronny2k on stream. Mr.  No, come on. Okay. All right. That wasn't even that funny. It's not, it's kind of accurate though. Just a little bit, not exactly accurate. Ah, dude, you could have done better though, man. The meme caption combination wasn't as good as it could have been. Five out of 10. Los Polos sent this one and it's just a photo. Los, do you know that for it to be a meme? You have to include a caption. You have to use your creativity to help enrich the media. And in this instance here, I'm sorry. You just haven't done that. Two out of 10. When you play against Giannis in triple threat online. Why would you send me a my team meme? Do I look like the type of meme writer that's going to appreciate a my team meme? The top comment to that was, I know you didn't just hit us with a my team meme. All right. I reckon like Giannis onto the Koopo probably dominates in 5v5 2k, right? So it's accurate. Of course it is. But is it funny? You missed me on the funny, man. For that reason, I'm going to have to give you a five out of 10. Step your game up, man. We're not off to a hot start today, guys. Let me give you a little pep talk. It's moments like these where you decide if you're truly one of the greatest meme creators on all the internet. Man, I don't need you guys to come forward. I need to be impressed. It's been a roll of like five, six videos. Y'all been killing it. Not off to a hot start today, though. Brumane sent this one. Demarda Rosen. Yo, it's DDR. Hi. Good to meet you, bro. Sent. He didn't actually say that, though. He didn't. Who made this, yo? Somebody literally went out of their way to create this. And you know it's an old 2K. It has to be like 2K14 because Demarda's head hasn't looked like that in years. I'm not going to lie, though. It's kind of funny, but you could have done better. But because this is the best one we've gotten so far, I'm feeling generous. I'm going to give you a seven out of 10. When Ronnie 2K says literally anything on Twitter.  I like it because the commentator was into it more than anybody else. Act me a come on, fellas. We all know it is. Is it funny? It sure is, ladies and gentlemen. It's such a solid meme. It's just ironclad. I can't see nothing wrong with it. But it is a little bit overplayed, so I can't be run around giving people 10s for everything. I'm going to give you a eight out of 10. Devs disguising 2K19 as 2K20. What? Whoa, whoa. The what, Chen? I don't remember that episode. Okay, all right. That kind of caught me off guard. It's funny, yo. Isn't the whole purpose of memes to be funny? It was funny. I'm giving you a nine out of 10, buddy. Grinding sent this meme, me proudly copying the superior next-gen console. And look, guys. I believe it's Master Chief holding a giant-ass Xbox. That Xbox is basically a PC. Look how big it is, guys. Is it accurate? Of course not. When was the last time an Xbox was a superior console? Is it funny? Yeah, it kind of is. Why is it that big on the shoulder? I do see where you're coming from grinding, and I like where you went with on this meme. I think it's real creative, and I like that about you grinding. I think you're a real creative kind of guy. It shows in your videos. For that reason, I'm going to give you a nine out of 10. You bounce back, man, because on the last one you got a six or something like that. 2K bringing back Mike Wang to promote 2K 21 in two months. What song is that? Oh, we can't play it anyway, because you know copyright. All right, look, they already know. Won't play music because of copyright. Oh, yeah, that's so sad. But it went something like this. Let me sing along, actually. Will you just put my voice right there, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  So will you just put my voice there and put like some drums in the back too? This is how we get around copyright in 2020, fellas. We just do our own vocals. He sounded like he's from Chicago, though, if I had to guess. Um, I didn't even rate that. Um, nah. When grinding comes to 2K community day. Look, guys, here he is posing with the children showing love, of course, of course, you have to. When more like if. I'm going to give you a solid 7 out of 10. Not a meme, but two outstanding content creators. Oh, man. Wow, look at this guy right here. Wow, I put on my headphones like I had to hear this photo. And of course, there's Travis Scott looking bozo to the right. That's not a meme at all. And the fact that you would leave it as a reply under a tweet where I explicitly and exclusively no mutual disrespectfully asked for memes is to me, I think, an absolute disregard and respect for one of the greatest authorized meme raters on the internet. And that's something I cannot stand for. For that reason, I give this photo 5 out of 10. The 5, of course, is me.  So combined is that rating. Um, the top reply to that photo was this video. Y'all getting real creative with the I didn't ask memes, huh?  Ronnie liking his own tweets with the NBA 2K Twitter account. Oh, look, guys. It's the Paul George 2 phone meme. What? Hey, I'm going to let you know right now. I genuinely think that there's a 60% likelihood that Ronnie's the guy who manages NBA 2K's Twitter and Instagram now. Just letting you know what I think. Obviously can't verify such a thing. I've never asked him the question. Nobody birds at 5 a.m. Ha ha ha. The birds do be bugging at 5 a.m. They, I don't know what they see. Why are they so excited in the morning? I saw a crow excited earlier this morning, guys. I didn't know crows can get excited. I just thought they were always miserable. That's what I thought. Um, this meme was like, all right, but it wasn't anything special. It both most definitely wasn't not horrible. It's right down the middle. It's in the middle scene right there. So I had to give you a 5 out of 10. When you join the Asia servers and you see someone's players start coughing. Yes, yes. I was waiting for something like this. I only, this is the only matter of time. Fantastic caption. Fantastic eucidus. Breakfast club meme right here. I appreciate it. This is just, wow, guys. I know what I'm going to give this, but I just want other people to experience this with me. Hey, Davis, I need your help rating a meme. Can you help me? I love when I answer the memes. Yeah, don't worry. That's my favorite thing, too. That's why I do it to you all the time. When you join the Asia servers and you see someone's my players start coughing, you see that? What did you rate the meme? Oh, wow. I got to get that guy off the board. This is a hilarious meme, guys. 10 out of 10. Here we have another Abdul meme. It's a Uno meme. Say something that makes sense or draw 25. And here is FlightReacts. He's been going so viral for so many ridiculous things he's been saying to the point where it almost feels like he's doing it purposefully. How could one man have that few brain cells? It doesn't add up. The meme itself is solid. You know what I mean? I feel like it's a good use of the Uno meme that's been blowing up recently.  We'll lead on his way to interrupt agent as soon as he starts recording. What's the adjective I'm looking for? What a spectacular meme. The whole time I was watching it, the accuracy of it was just off the charts. And it's funny. What man, for the first time in a long time, Surzi Gaming, I'm giving anybody that's ever dropped a meme on 11 out of 10. When you're ball watching and your guy gets dotted in the corner for a 3. That's me. That's me. That's me. Y'all are killing the game. Makes me a happy meme-rater. Makes you guys a happy audience watching the happy meme-rater rate the happy memes. I'm happy 10 out of 10. Yanis, if he was 6 foot 5. Oh Lord. I get the Yanis if he was 6 foot 5 memes. You know, you added the flight reacts right there. It's funny. It's incredibly inaccurate, but I'm allowed with it just because it was funny and it has something to do with flight. Shout out James Hardin. I'm going to give this a 6 out of 10. The 2K community after buying the same game every year. Troy. Troy, what did he- What video was that? This was two days ago. Troy, why did- Troy, why did you do that?  Troy is one of a kind, man. Gotta love him, yo. Gotta love him. Who off the s***, dad?  When you make it on Agent's video twice and both times, he doesn't rate your meme. Okay, let's move on to the next one. When your meme gets 7 likes, but Agent puts a meme in his video with 6 likes. Is this DJ Augustine meme staring dad at the camera? I don't choose the memes based off of likes. Honestly, I try not to look at them before I do the show. That's the key or else it's going to ruin the laughter when the show starts. First of all, if it has more likes, it's more likely to make it because it's at the tip of the top. But I'll just like boom, boom, boom. I'll send them all to new tabs. If I think it has a hint of funny, I'm sending it to a new tab so I can rate it on camera. Smart 2K devs. Should we lower the price of VC? Ronnie.  Anyway, it was incredibly accurate. Well, let me think on this one real quick, fellas. Now that I've sat back and got the chance to analyze both the caption and the video that was provided in this meme, I'm gonna have to let y'all know that this meme was indeed solid. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge fan of Steve Harvey. Part of me wants to give this a negative 5 out of 10. But because your creativity really shined through, I'm gonna give this a 6. IsoNinja sends this meme whenever Chalk tweets anything. You may be right in what you say, but that was a very dumb thing to do. How come I've never seen a Steven Nivety before? Hey, the video has so much potential to be combined with the prolific caption to make this an 11 out of 10 meme. But Iso, you missed the mark here, buddy. This caption right here is not hitting the way you thought it was. This is not the Euro League or Turkish and they have good players. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the NBA, the best of the best. So you have to step your game up here, giving you a 2 out of 10. When your friend with strict parents comes, when your friend... Okay, let's play the meme. That's so solid. That was me. I had to sneak it in. And then anytime you hear footsteps on the stairs, turn the TV off and you don't tell me I know what I'm talking about, man. Yo, it's very accurate and it's a hilarious use of an already funny Steven A meme. I want to give you a 10, but I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sorry. I can't do that because you made a cardinal sin when you was making this meme and it pisses me off. You didn't crop properly, buddy. Which means you stole... And I can't give a thief a 10 out of 10. For that reason, I'm giving you a 5 out of 10. Next time, come with your own and crop properly. Hey, if you guys want to see more meme videos, make sure to drop a like. I did just drop a podcast. I'm telling you, you might like it. That's what everyone keeps saying. Agent, I didn't think I was going to like it. But turns out, you never know, man. You never know. Hey, appreciate all the love you guys have been showing. I'm going to see you guys in a couple of days.


There are many unexplained ruins which can be found within Egypt. Who built the Great Pyramids? What was the true identity and purpose for the Great Sphinx? Countless mysteries still swirl around these enormous structures. And no matter how much academic study is pursued within this mystical place, an answer for how, and indeed why these monstrous feats were undertaken, remains unanswered. The reason for this gap in our understanding, we have come to hypothesize, is due to a paradigm of understanding, the result of which being that we as a species can only recollect a fraction of our history. A case of global amnesia has beset our kind, and unless those with the ability to see through the fog of established and as such heavily researched areas of our history, we may never solve the most important question of all, where do we come from? The reason for our growing staunch belief in a lost history is only further compounded by the subjects we research, and indeed the seemingly impossible and as yet unanswered methods, that an ancient, clearly once highly capable civilization utilized to achieve such remarkable feats of ancient engineering and our next item of choice is of no exception. As mentioned, there exists a heavily researched and indeed unraveled history which can be archaeologically found amongst these truly impressive ruins. However, although we are led to believe that academia has a handle on the ancient lives of those who dwelled within these structures, there are many areas which tell a different story, and one must question why. Why is there such gaps of explanation? When we are told that much of what these groups undertook has been researched and understood since the time of Edward Carter, why was the Valley of the Kings lost? Who and indeed how were the ancient pyramids constructed? Many of the things we are now under the presumption have been fully explored are merely rediscoveries, completely absent from the ream of writing and hieroglyphics later deciphered in red. The submerged city of Heraclion, for example. An entire ancient city, which not only clearly dates from the time of the pyramids, but was also submerged in an event we are yet to be informed of. The rediscovery of this site in recent times is yet another example that the attitudes of those who are granted access to such sites is misplaced, and what we thought we knew about the true creators of said sites is a red herring, a smokescreen, placed down by later surviving and due to these unknown events proven by heavy research far less capable, far more primitive as civilization, who merely re-inhabited such sites, allowing them to develop to a point where they were not only able to leave their own archaeological legacy amongst these ruins, but also to claim such intimidating works as their own. Such a reality, such a claimed illusion, would also have made them a perceived force to be reckoned with, an opportunistic strategy that any critical thinking leader would have leapt at to not only preserve one's power, but to ensure the ongoing existence of their own kind. This posited scenario would also explain why the ancient city of Heraclion, and indeed the Sphinx, the Great Pyramids, the Colossus of Memnod, the unfinished obelisk, and so forth, remained undescribed within what is claimed as the builder's writings and why such incredible feats were seemingly silently undertaken. Any explanation as to how these sites were built, such as that of Baalbeck over a thousand miles away, possessed Aswan granite columns many tons in weight, remains a mystery. For one can claim such works as their own, but an explanation as to how they achieved them would not be something they could provide. Who built the ancient city of Heraclion, indeed the entire Plateau of Giza? Why is the city submerged underwater, and what happened to those who constructed such sites? It is a pursuit for answers which we find highly compelling. There are countless submerged and very ancient cities dotted across the oceans of our Earth, many of these cities all but forgotten until their rediscoveries within the modern era. In attempting to locate these mysterious places, it is beneficial for one to be aware of past sea levels. This of course can make the task of locating these submerged cities an awful lot easier. The main consensus is that world sea levels have largely stayed the same since the arrival of Homo sapiens, only really dipping or rising by around 120 meters across the Earth. In discussing these finds, you will, on all but a few exceptions, find yourself within these specific regions. One of the more interesting exceptions to this rule has to be the underwater city which was discovered just off the coast of Cuba a few years ago, a submerged city which sits over 700 meters below the waves, this depth of course being far below that which has experienced a breach over the past 100 or so thousand years. A theory that the landmass once rested upon the surface, subsequently being sunk by tectonic activities was argued, yet since its exploration as a possibility, it has been found to have not been the case. The results of this investigation strongly indicating that this city and its accompanying landmass somehow remained under the waves for more than 100,000 years. Greenville Draper of Florida's International University concluded that it was highly unlikely that such a tectonic event could have occurred, quoted as saying, nothing of this magnitude has been reported ever before, especially from the Mediterranean. Draper's, among many others analysis, has of course come to conclusions, conclusions which thankfully appear honest, making them extremely controversial, yet as with other fields of study and life, they are reluctant to reveal the implications of such conclusions. For example, if the research is correct, and judging by the extremely capable people tasked with this undertaking, there is no reason to suspect it is not, then this submerged city has remained submerged for over 100,000 years. This gives us two possible alternatives, one, that the city predates the arrival of developed man on Earth, according to academically accepted timelines, or two, it reinforces our ever-growing accusations here at Mystery History of a past here on Earth which is unimaginably more ancient than we have been led to believe, a human society which has flourished and regressed on no less than three occasions. It could of course be both. There is a possibility that this ancient city was indeed built submerged under the waves by a once highly advanced civilization of Homo sapiens. Yet a more likely scenario, of course, would be that this ancient city was constructed at a time when the Caribbean Sea was a dry basin, and as the sea began to form, it was subsequently submerged. Yet, alas, modern academia readily rejects such a hypothesis. So if we do not accept this as a likely possibility, then we must conclude that a primitive ancient culture with primitive stone tools and certainly no diving equipment, were somehow responsible for the construction of this submerged city, complete with enormous pyramids on a foundation resting over 700 meters beneath the Caribbean Sea. The University of Seville, working in collaboration with the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage, has conducted an intensive lidar survey in a historically compelling area between the Spanish coastal towns of Caposoto and Sancti Petri. Their goal was to discover the remnants of a long-written of temple, one dedicated to ancient deities. However, what they discovered instead was an incredibly ancient once enormous mass dwelling, complex yet intelligently laid out as if almost akin to modern-day standards of care in regard to sanitation management, food production, and quality of dwelling for its massive population's well-being. A mega-metropolis that predictably the academics responsible for its discovery have not only attempted to downplay the find, but also tried to claim it as merely proof of their original temple assertion. Clearly, they are merely backing the tale of events put forth by whomever funded said expedition. From the researchers themselves, quote, the survey area consisted of submerged landscape seemingly dominated by a series of ancient marches. Something we feel was most probably intelligently managed farmlands prior to the Great Deluge, which eventually drowned this entire mega-metropolis, yet I digress. They continued, the study revealed a new ancient coastal landscape with the presence of moorings, an inland port, and several large monumental buildings, end quote. By combining data from previous anomalous discoveries, the team created a cross-section of findings, and by a process of elimination, they pinpointed an area in which to scan. Yet, interestingly, after said discoveries of the structures, they quickly and simply delimited the entire area, without any further field study or investigation whatsoever. Could this rapid delimitation of the area, in regards to the lidar scanning, possibly be in an attempt to obscure the true enormity of this pre-flood ruin? During their focused investigation, they found rectangular structures some 300 by 150 meters in size. However, these discoveries contradicted their own strictly followed academic accounts of this supposedly legendary temple's whereabouts. This discovery being the mission's objective all along, yet curiously, as mentioned, any further expansion of the lidar investigations, academic funding, has been stonewalled. Could their reluctance to continue further investigations on a mission which has already clearly cost a lot of funding due to them actually having discovered yet another complexly intelligently clearly advanced pre-flood mega metropolis? Well, we find said possibilities, and the rapid growth of independently owned lidar technology incredibly exciting. There are many ways to create a misleading, coercive conspiracy. But nearly all good stories, even when mostly fictional, to upstand some level of scrutiny must contain that which is known as the kernel of truth. And these kernels can be found throughout the mountains of ancient stories, belief systems, rituals, and medicines worldwide. Found throughout ancient texts, however, interestingly, there are countless accounts of a great deluge, however, modern curriculums are not about finding the truth within these writings, but a form of conformity. We not only feel that the evidence for a flood worldwide exists, but that the pre-flood civilizations who lived through this event, claimed as secluded, primitive, small settlements, didn't venture far until a much later academically claimed dating. Regardless of this, we are now slowly exposing the truth regarding said events. Modern technologies, such as ground-penetrating radar, are now being utilized more and more. Many of these studies are finding mega-metropolises, often now resting beneath and amongst dense forests, having been revealed via this technology to have been not individual settlements, but one enormous city, some with estimated populations of 10 million people or more, facts which are in staunch opposition to modern dating paradigms. Along with ours and many others personal, in-depth research into the technologies and knowledge of the creators and later re-inhabitants of such sites, have also been proven beyond doubt to have once had shared knowledge. Unquestionably made by people who were in global communication, endless examples of tools, masonry techniques, and artifacts are often found who have all been crafted in the same ways, with matching scars found at quarries and upon megaliths worldwide. Yet these quarries again bring us back to our original message, that of a shared experience of catastrophe, also one of which being the Great Flood. Maybe these groups worked on huge weather-resistant stones as an attempt to face off against such enormous natural forces, yet it would seem, although they left their mark on the globe, as our research would suggest were in vain, as they were seemingly wiped out in an instant, with many sites abandoned mid-flow during one of these events. Interestingly, not only would the evidence suggest a sudden disappearance of those responsible for many of the most extraordinary megalithic ruins, there have also been remnants found and documented within mainstream-funded study, which is not only indicative of a prior knowledge of this possible swelling of the seas, but an immense effort attempted to build fortresses to protect against such an event, dated as 7,000 years old. From an article titled, quote, this 7,000-year-old wall was the earliest known defense against rising seas. Lizzie Wade states, and I quote, about 7,000 years ago, seas were rising all over the world, Ice Age glaciers were melting, and the ocean crept up shorelines and toured people's homes on every inhabited continent. Now archaeologists have discovered the earliest known defense against those rising seas, a 7,000-year-old seawall built to protect a farming village from worsening storm surges and encroaching saltwater from the Mediterranean Sea. Ultimately, however, the wall failed, and now lies drowned off the coast of Israel, along with the rest of the settlement it was meant to protect, end quote. Additionally, Amy Goosek, an archaeologist at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California, who studied this period around California's Channel Islands, stated, and I quote, all the different kinds of responses we see towards sea level rise 7,000, 8,000, 9,000 years ago, we're still seeing all of those same responses today. Discoveries such as these not only proof of our ancient ancestors' awareness in regards to the possible dangers of rising sea levels, but supports the argument that human contributions are not as catastrophic as are currently believed by some to be. The questions regarding their origins, however, who was once responsible for such remarkable efforts, remains a mystery, one which we are determined to solve. It is a journey of discovery which we find highly compelling.


Surveillance of respiratory pathogens in air may improve understanding of indoor transmission risks, but impacts of context-specific factors on pathogen abundance are not well understood. Here, the authors investigate factors associated with 29 respiratory pathogens through surveillance of 21 community settings in Belgium.

As you know, as business owners, we have five common things that we have to worry about. We have to worry about our clients. We have to worry about promoting our business to make it grow. We certainly have to worry about the people who work for us. And we have to make sure we're kept abreast and up to date by educating ourselves. Now we're going to show how we can do all these things using Google Calendar. One of the common responsibilities is planning. This is something we all have to do. We have to figure out what we're going to do every day to move our business forward. What you see here is that we've allowed a whole hour for planning, reviewing the business and planning the next day. You may want more time or not need as much. But it's something that needs to occur every day. So let's talk about how we do planning and put it on Google Calendar. I'm going to click right on it. And this opens the page where you can put in the data for it. You can see we put the name of this as Review Business and Plan Next Day. We've indicated the date, in this case the fourth. And we've allowed at the time from six to seven, this is something daily, and make sure it's in the right time zone. And since this is something we want to repeat, we've checked the repeat box. And it gives you several options. If you click on Edit, it shows that you can repeat every day. Or you can repeat every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or every Tuesday and Thursday. We've chosen every day because planning is essential and important to do. We've also decided that this is ongoing, so it never ends. But you could, of course, give it a start and a stop time, but planning is so essential we decided to never let that end. Once you're satisfied with this information, you just click the Done button and the information is recorded. We can also indicate where we want to do this. We have decided to do it in our office. You can decide to do it wherever you think it's appropriate. We could also set up a video call if that's something we want to do. We decided which calendar to put it in, and it's in our planning calendar. We also gave it a description that says to take a look at the next week's activities and look for possible areas where we can plan and improve the business. We can color code this, and in this case, we have colored that this light blue. It's important to color code all these activities so you can tell at a glance what is on your calendar. We have options to show me as either available or busy, since planning is so essential. We've indicated that we're busy so that we're not interrupted by people who may try to reach us. When we're happy with this information, we click Save, and it appears as we have instructed in our calendar. As you watch what I do to put the planning section on Google Calendar, understand that everything I do for reoccurring events is going to be repeated for every other calendar, and common responsibility you put on to Google Calendar. I'm going to take considerable time with this. Let's click on Review Business and Plan Next Step, and it opens a page where you can see we've given it that title, Review Business, Plan Next Day. We've indicated the date, we've indicated the time, and the time zone that's appropriate. We're going to do this on a repeat basis, so we've checked the box Repeat, and you can edit what you mean by that. You can repeat every weekday, Monday to Friday, or you can repeat every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Tuesday, and Thursday, weekly, monthly, or yearly. We've chosen every weekday, Monday to Friday. You can choose additional information. We have the start. It starts on this particular day. Since this is something that we'll repeat, we've marked Never Ending. You can, however, mark the exact time you want it to start and when you want it to stop. But this is a key function of our business planning, so it's never ending. Once you're happy with this, you just click on Done, and the information is recorded on your planning sheet. You also can indicate where you want this to happen. We've indicated it will happen in the office. We put it on a calendar that is for planning. We could have put it on other calendars. We've put it on planning. We've given it a description, too. Take a look at next week's activities and look for possible areas where we can plan and improve the business. We have also given it a color. It's important that you color code every one of these common responsibilities so you can see at a glance which one you are focusing on. We've decided to show ourselves as busy rather than available because planning is so essential. We don't want to be interrupted, so we show ourselves as busy. And when we're totally comfortable with the information in this planning sheet, we just click Save, and the information appears on Google Calendar. Remember that that same process will be repeated for every reoccurring responsibility you put on Google Calendar. And you can watch this recording as often as you need to to understand how that process works. We've also color coded pink for clients and the other colors for clients as well as another color for personal development and education. And that's essentially it. Now we've shown you how to, the process works by putting planning, reviewing the business and planning the next day on Google Calendar. But supposing you just wanted to see one of the calendars, you want a concentrated focused look at something. Let's say you want to look at the clients in your business. You go over to clients and click on the down arrow and go up to say display only this calendar. You click on it and you see everything you have on clients scheduled for the week. If you want to see how that compares to another calendar, you, such as like marketing or promotion, you just click on it and that appears. That gives you a chance to see client activity in relationship to your marketing and promotion activity. You can also decide to share calendars with members of your team. But you may not want to share everything like you may not want the team to see your education and personal calendar. You can decide to share some or just a little bit of those calendars. Let me illustrate that. I'm going to put planning back and I'm going to put education back as well as employee and contracts. Now I would like to share this with members of my team, but I don't want to share my education and personal training calendar. So I will eliminate that, it's taken away and can share the rest of it.

So drop a comment down below Let's do it before we throw any garments on your body I think this season alone is the best season to understand color block and it all starts with understanding the color wheel first Let's address the two simple concepts of color block monochromatic and complementary colors monochromatic color blocking means only one shade Tone or hue of a color and complementary colors are opposite sides of the color wheel So with the monochromatic look mono means one obviously you're just gonna pick one color and adjust the shade tone hue all That means the same thing in order to compose your monochromatic look the safest way is sticking to grayscale So black white everything in between the grayscale monochromatic looks suits everyone because everyone has black denim gray shirts white shirts You don't really have to think about color and it's just very easy to compose now If you're more bold you can try out other colors like earth tones Those look really good check out my other fashion homies on their takes on the monochromatic look it looks fresh Now complementary colors are obviously colors that complement each other now when you look at complementary colors You will see that they are on opposite sides of the color wheel the easiest go-to for me is red and green now The trick is with complementary colors is that you don't have to be truly strict to that specific color What you can do is adjust the hue shade or tone of that color and you'll see that it is still a Complementary color my go-to is all of green and red all of green is obviously green with a darker shade to it But it still complements the red color So I've really been filling these Union LA Jordan ones along with all of green cargo pants That's a vibe for me. Now next up is experiment with other aesthetics now I know you may be like this because I was I was so fixated on fitted clothing everything and I mean Everything had to fit nice and snug on me. Yeah, I get it.  That is how I think of accessories now There are a ton of accessories my favorites right now include bandanas Which I typically tie around my belt loop or around my arm tactical belt Which I throw an accessory on top of that accessory which are pins and also my own keys on a tactical carabiner I also cannot forget about jewelry you can get them from anywhere I've got a lot of them for my local shops gift shops and all that I also get them online and the best place to start your accessory journey is from the sponsor of today's video World's Golden Black now if you guys have been following me for a while shout out to the OGs You guys know that I've worked with them before but I had a pause working with them because at my old job Things was getting really hectic and it was really hard for me to balance that and YouTube at the same time But then time freed up I got to work more on my YouTube and now I'm full-time on YouTube And they've been a long time supporter and also helped me get out of my nine to five job by sponsoring my videos when I found Some more free time now I've purchased from them way before they even sponsored any of my videos and trust me You're gonna want to pick up something from there They introduced new pieces to their collection that looks super fresh and that most guys don't typically have so it's a great Way to add to your outfits plus you're gonna get a ton of compliments because I've gone a ton of comments in Person and online of people asking where I get these pieces from now You know now I will highly advise purchasing the items at full price because it is a bit pricey So there's a special link in the description that already discounts all the items I like plus for this month They are offering an additional 15% off for October so you can save even more on these fresh accessories So go ahead and check out the cool kids only link in the description and just to be transparent I am not making any commission if you guys purchase anything But if you guys do purchase anything it does help me out and they can continue supporting my channel Anyways, let's keep it moving. Next up is to stop caring about height brands. I get it We all have a bit of a hype beast in us But if your entire wardrobe is from supreme off-white D or whatever brand it is and you really need to wake up call man Don't get me wrong brand association is a thing hell I'm hyping up rose golden black and I love the culture and history of many of these brands But then having this mindset is going to translate into when you pick out your clothes in general if it ain't a high brand You don't cop it nah man Don't do that instead if you actually like the item or piece no matter what brand it is Then you should pick it up you like modern warfare to copper shirt You like coffee pick up a shirt from your local coffee shop I found some amazing pieces from shops airports museums, and if I'm really being honest these are the best places to shop So if you're like me and enjoy vacationing then why not pick a clothing item up from there You went there you got to experiment that city or museum recently I went to Chicago with my girl you went to the wonder museum I had an absolute blaster and they also had some great merch to pick up I even found this long sleeve over here from navy pier the wash of the shirt is fire and it was only $15 when I went to white sands I picked up a ton of accessories and one that I've also added to my carabiner when I went to meow wolf I picked up merch and stickers and added it to my wardrobe and water bottle these items are very exclusive It's unique to the city. It's unique to that museum or shop And it is definitely my favorite thing I did to elevate my style fifth way to elevate your style is of course Layering you know when it's hot you can only really stick to one layer And then you have to compensate for the lack of layers with your accessories But when it's colder layering really adds to your own personal style simple go-to ways are a neutral hoodie under any jacket But you can also mess with the colors textures and patterns other ways of throwing a contrasting color underneath a layer like with this Crew neck it's a darker wash and I contrasted it with a white layer underneath super clean Look now there are plenty of ways to layer this ain't the video for that So just start experimenting and have fun with it So this last and final point encompasses all the other points I've kind of touched upon earlier But it deserves its own point. What do you personally like? What is your lifestyle? This is how you truly elevate your style by personalizing it So when I first got into streetwear and fashion in general I just stuck with what was hyped and what would get the most recognition zipper pants Chelsea boots pants tucked into the joggers. I was on that instantly But the truth is I just looked like everyone else or I was stuck in 2017 now. I get it trends are hot They're pretty cool and some can actually look really clean But to really elevate your style ask yourself some questions the more specific you get the more personality you get to add to your style What's your favorite tv show or anime? What kind of games do you like? Maybe you played watchdogs back in the day and you want to test out techwear What food do you like? What is your favorite city get as specific as you can now for me? I added these items to my tactical belts. These pins aren't just cool-looking pins I got them because it describes me mountains are like the sandia mountains here in abq a bird describes me making A ton of paper cranes as a kid wonder comes from my visit at the wonder museum And soon i'm gonna pick up a new york city pin because I spent the last four years there And it is the best city in the world I wear a ton of beaded bracelets from rose gold and black because I did a ton of martial arts as a kid Plus I was a buddhist back then and would also always wear a gold chain with a jade buddha on it Hence why i'm always wearing gold chains in general Some of my clothes come from cities or landmarks that I visited like I said earlier Most of my sneakers come from me playing ball as a kid or skateboarding The possibilities are endless and this is in my opinion how you truly elevate your style and really make it your own I know this is one of my longer videos. So if you made it this far comment Comment lint roller because I want people to see the comments and think that this video is all about lint rollers Plus it's going to be a if you know you know moment. All right, fellas I hope this video has helped you out follow me on instagram at fly with johnny tie subscribe to the channel If you haven't already give this video like for the youtube algorithm Please and until then stay fly stay animosity free. I'm out, bro. Peace


Hello, and welcome to the Eric Camadeca show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, joined by Stevenson Head Track and Field Coach, Eric Camadeca. Coach, obviously, it's one of your biggest weeks of the year. Mac Championship for indoor this weekend. The pre-championship polls came out yesterday, and the men were picked first in a very narrow poll with Widener. Both had same-out first place votes. You end up getting one more point. And then the women were picked second, and got four first-places votes. So I mean, obviously, you got to go out to perform. But obviously, the conference and the coaches see you as one of the favorites on both sides going in. Yeah, this is what we talked about when we brought in all these recruiting classes that we want to be the top in the conference. And we've always had the attitude that we're an underdog, and now we go in as the favorite. So some of us are feeling a little of the pressure of it. But a couple of days of good practice, all the training, all the hard work, this is what we signed up for. Yeah, obviously, this weather that we've had the last couple of days has to be great for your training. It has been. Again, when we're inside battling it all the time in indoors, cold weather, to be able to have these two days before conference championships, to go out there and training, get some great quality training, feeling fast, feeling comfortable, it's been great for a benefit, great benefit for the entire team. Yeah, now obviously, you didn't compete last weekend. Use the time to kind of rest a little bit and train for this weekend. Kind of how has that gone, how has the process gone with getting ready for this weekend and everything that goes into that? You know, again, the indoor season is a grind with the weather. People getting sick, you know, you just, you feel cooped up and everything. So having that weekend, just to recover, get ahead on score, get ahead on sleep is really beneficial for us. You know, we just really like going in there and feeling refreshed. You know, a lot of teams go into it, trying to get those last-time qualifiers. You know, we were hoping by the time last week enrolled by, we did everything we needed to do to be able to take advantage of a weekend off to go into conference championships. Yeah, then obviously, this Friday and Saturday, you're up at Lehigh for conference championships. Kind of take us through. I mean, we know some of the names that are expected to do well. And also talk about, like you touched on it, like going in as one of the favorites, rather than maybe the underdog kind of scrappy. Is there a little bit more pressure on the guys and the women going in that way? Yeah, you know, I think they're definitely feeling it and it kind of goes back to what we talked about in the beginning of the year, you know, and at any other time, going into championships, you know, we were the underdog. We always counted on Devonte William to carry the stick and the torch for us. And, you know, that's not the situation anymore. We're the favorites without him.  Who's gonna be the person to really, you know, lead us through? And I think the benefit on both men's and women's side, we don't have to look just to one person. You know, last year was always Danika, Danika, Devonte, Devonte.  We just, we have such a good group of people who can really lead us through that not one person on this team has to carry the burden of, you know, scoring all the points. We're gonna do it as a team on both the men's and women's side. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I'm getting ready to write the preview for the meet this weekend. And that's one of the things I noticed is, you know, there's like, I think 14 or 15 top three performances on both sides by the men and women, but it's not just one or two athletes. It's, you know, seven or eight different kids and relays and you've got points potentially coming from everywhere. Yeah, exactly. And that's the really exciting thing about all this is that, you know, we're gonna have a lot of new conference champions on both men's and women's side, you know, and it's just gonna be a new face for the conference as well. You know, again, the conference is so used to seeing the same people at the top and across the boards could be a lot of different faces. Yeah. All right, coach, we wish you the best of luck this weekend and hopefully we'll talk about a couple of strong performances here next week. Yeah, absolutely. All right, for Eric Camadeca, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Eric Camadeca show.


It's finally happening. After years of discussion and speculation, the LEGO group and Nintendo are teaming up to provide the world with Super Mario LEGO, the Get Super Smash Brothers. This right here is the most difficult, improbable crossover in gaming history. With Nintendo LEGO, it's not hard to figure out why this crossover is happening. It's Nintendo LEGO. It's wonderfully obvious. Instead, what's more fascinating is why we didn't get Mario LEGO sooner. This tale stretches back decades, to a time before Nintendo even made computer games, and a healthy bit of copyright infringement that set the two companies at odds. First off, let's address the simple question. Why has there not been any Mario LEGO before? We already have Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO. There's Minecraft LEGO, Overwatch LEGO, even Portal LEGO. Surely Nintendo LEGO would make a lot of sense. And yet, there have been several extenuating circumstances stopping this collaboration from happening. In 2012, LEGO introduced what would eventually be known as LEGO Ideas, an online community where fans can propose and support new ideas for LEGO sets. If a proposal gets over 10,000 supporters, LEGO will consider releasing it as an official set. The first fan set to be made was a licensed Back to the Future DeLorean, and licensed sets have been common on the site ever since. Several times, LEGO fans have proposed Nintendo licensed sets. Every time LEGO has given an excuse for why these can't be made. In 2012, Mingles suggested a set based on the Legend of Zelda, which would feature custom Link, Zelda and Ganondorf minifigures. The set got over 10,000 supporters, so it seemed like it would be made, but LEGO shut it down. There were too many new moulded pieces, LEGO claimed. The set would be too costly to produce. Not to be deterred, Mingles set up his own online store 3D printing the pieces people would need to build his set. You can buy a LEGO Master Sword from him, and while it's a bit pricey, there's no denying, it's amazing. Over the past few years, many other Zelda LEGO Ideas have earned over 10,000 supporters, but LEGO has shut them down each time. Nevertheless, with every rejection, LEGO has encouraged fans to keep submitting additional ideas for Zelda sets. Indeed, one set based on Breath of the Wild, currently under review from LEGO, received a staff pick on the LEGO Ideas website, which does bode well. It's clear that at least someone at LEGO wants to make a Zelda set happen, even if fan creations keep getting rejected. The same is not true of Pokemon and Mario LEGO sets. LEGO has, in the past, flat out refused to allow fans to submit sets based on these brands. In 2014, a LEGO set called Pikachu's Pokemon Centre Visit was removed from active voting after earning just over a thousand supporters. In an official response, LEGO made it clear that this set was legally impossible. The official comment said, We've looked into the possibility of producing a set based on this licensed property, Pokemon. Since the property is owned by a competitor, we've decided it's neither a brand fit nor a strategic fit for the LEGO Group to pursue a license, and so we will not consider Pokemon projects on LEGO Ideas further. We are sorry to be the bearers of this disappointing news. The problem here appears to be that the license for Pokemon toys belongs to LEGO's competitor, which produces the dreaded Mega Blocks range of LEGO knock-off bricks. If there's one thing that LEGO hates, it's unofficial bricks that are compatible with their own products. LEGO typically sues anyone who, like Mega Blocks, creates fake LEGO. What's really funny is that LEGO almost always loses these lawsuits. At present, many elements of the LEGO brick design are considered to be within the public domain, so get ready for the plot twist. These companies that have made fake LEGO bricks? One of them is Nintendo. Back in 1968, before Nintendo had even made a video game, the company was experimenting in the toy market. This led to the creation of the Nintendo NMB Blocks. These were compatible with LEGO, but notably came in circular designs, so that children could make curved creations like spaceships without them looking too blocky. A TV commercial for NMB Blocks even poked fun at LEGO, as Nintendo claimed that their blocks were superior. These fake LEGO blocks were available across Japan until 1972, at which point the toy range disappeared entirely. The anecdotal sources claim that LEGO sued Nintendo to force them to stop, but I've not been able to find any concrete evidence of this, so take that with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, it wouldn't be surprising, considering how protective LEGO is of their iconic toy design. Regardless, LEGO and Nintendo have clearly patched up their relationship in the decades that followed. LEGO games routinely release on Nintendo platforms, including the impressive Toys To Life title LEGO Dimensions, which allows Sonic the Hedgehog to go to Hogwarts. He does that a lot in our house, the fanfic you never knew you needed in your life. All of this leads us to Super Mario LEGO, which is apparently now a thing. It hasn't been for a long time. All the way back in 2012, even before LEGO rejected Mingle's Zelda idea, the company had banned discussion of Mario LEGO. LEGO fan Rageroo posted a design for a Super Mario Brothers themed LEGO set online, and it managed to get 1,185 supporters before LEGO took it down. The company's explanation? As we are huge Super Mario fans, it pains us to say we've looked into the licensing potential and another company has the construction toy license. We will not consider Super Mario Brothers further. The challenge with allowing IP-related projects is that there is the potential of such a conflict, either with an existing license or with a competitive licensor. Still, it's our view that it is better to be open and allow for possibilities, knowing there will be no answers along the way, than shut out the potential of IP-based products altogether. As with Pokemon, Nintendo had already licensed Mario to one of LEGO's competitors. The branding question appears to be Kinex, which is, let's be honest, a bit rubbish. Apparently now LEGO and Nintendo have found a way to make a brand deal work out, and the company's mascot will finally debut in block form. Considering that LEGO is planning a lot of different Mario sets, this is likely a partnership that's going to be around for a long time to come. We could even finally see LEGO Zelda in the near future too. The moral of the story is simple. Collaborations can be fun. Everything is better if we stick together. Everything is cool when you're part of a team. With Mario LEGO on the horizon? Everything is awesome!


Welcome to Digital Stories. Digital Stories is a special collaboration between West Sussex County Council and Get Safe Online. And it's all about trust and respect online. So we're going to hear about four really interesting characters. We're going to hear about Jeff and Layla and their child, Sonny.  The story I'm about to share is called Respect Online Video Game Challenge. Sonny has been playing a difficult video game with her friends. But what happens when she wins a level and her friends don't? Sonny is playing an online video game with a group of friends from school. Sonny and her friends have been stuck on a difficult level for a while now. Layla checks in with Sonny to see how the game is going. Hi, Sonny. Why do you look upset? I know you've been trying to get to the next level for ages. Do you and your friends need some help? In between sobs, Sonny says, Ava and my other friends didn't get to the next level. But I managed to do it this time. That's amazing. You've got to the next level. Why aren't you happy? asks Layla. Ava got nasty and called me a name. I thought getting to the next level would make me happy. But now I'm sad. Oh, Sonny, that wasn't very nice of her. Perhaps you need a bit of a break from Ava while she thinks about what she said. What about your other friends? She got the others to call me names too. That's why I'm so upset. They all hate me. I feel like saying something mean back. Tell you what, why not come off the game for a little while for a break to cool down? When you next play with your friends, maybe you could share your tips about how you got to the next level. When you're playing a game or chatting with your friends online, it's really important to be polite and not say nasty things about other people, even if you don't like them. There isn't any good to come out of saying hurtful things to or about people, whether they're your friends or not. If this happens to you, your parents or another adult you trust will be able to give you some advice. What a fantastic story about keeping safe online. And remember, you can find more information about keeping safe online at GetSafeOnline.org or WestSussex.gov.uk Staying safe online.

Hi, my name is Luigi Zapparelli and I will be presenting the IoT pass Internet of Things platform as a service with my colleague fans and unfortunately fan could not make this recording session so I will also be doing his presentation as well. So the ask was to come up with a platform as a service which really is the application layer and data layer to implement a solution. The following requirements that it'd be API based, in other words API endpoints for data in data out restful API endpoints based on Jason so very, very standard requests that we have an analytics element where we can actually aggregate some specific data that was required. That it have a AI scoring element or a pluggable AI scoring engine, which was a nice to have really it wasn't a major part of the requirement and then a dashboard to view the data in graphic form, we have a requirement of seven days worth of data for any device that was that was used. And I'll elaborate on that later, why seven days. It was just part of the the ask. Over and above that the technical requirements we had to adhere to event driven microservice architecture that it be loosely coupled based on Linux containers. And that we have a scalable system that's it is higher has a high availability, and that it could handle 300, the ask was about 300 million documents in a day. And that's sort of roughly is about three and a half thousand requests per second. So it is a fairly high throughput requirement. So the tech stack that we chose for the pass would obviously obviously be based on container orchestrator because the comment was that it be on Linux containers so the obvious choices are Kubernetes open shift. In the messaging queue we made use of Kafka. And we have message producers and consumers that we could then implement and then have them plug in and out on for our loosely coupled architecture. On the database side we made use of couch base, no scale database that the couch base is fairly impressive, it has a basic crud engine, your basic database engine. However, you would need like three dedicated notes so it will be set up in a high availability type implementation on three nodes that would be replicated with persistent storage. And over and above that you would have need an extra two nodes dedicated to eventing and the analytics engine. So this does, this does consume a lot of resources so I've also implemented a simple Redis interface and the choices, the choices up to the user to deploy what they, what they prefer. Obviously couch base gives you so much more. Frontend was based on Vue.js, completely. And back in on Golang, Golang is the technology that we've language that we familiar with.  These are great open source projects and they can be deployed completely on Kubernetes. Obviously the OpenShift has the OpenShift pipelines which is also based on and on tech time. Before I elaborate on the actual IoT devices I just want to say that these devices that we were using and testing on were medical devices so it's based on non invasive. Vital sign measurements. So, we had various devices, and I'll show you in the next slide. The devices were that we used one was a wearable device that only had three vital sign measurements. It's on the top right hand over here. And the top right hand is the wearable non invasive device that basically gave you systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure. And SPO2, which is your blood, blood oxygen saturation, and then heart rate. It did not have temperature and respiratory rates. We had to improvise and build an interface that would then handle temperature and respiratory rate and then we'd combine the readings into one, one Jason payload. So we had a development kit that we were asked to implement on the development kit uses the same photo prismograph. It uses pulse transient times, and you can read up on that there's some really good documentation online about that. And this device on the bottom left corner the picture here is does also have temperature and accelerometer. And the other pieces of electronics really was my development interface to actually build an SPI. And this is an application channel for the, for both the wearable device and for these this SDK type hardware device. And the data would then be connected to this Omega Linux single board computer. It will then have SPI interface read the data from the, the Bluetooth gateway which is not shown here but the watch, or should I say the wearable device will push data to the Bluetooth gateway, and the Bluetooth gateway is a TPC TCP server and from the TCP server then we can inject the relevant data that we needed. This then goes to this Omega device, which is really a Wi-Fi interface that then pushes. I've got a growing process there they're running and it uses HTTPS so we'll have secure connection to the actual platform as a service. There's an overview on on the hardware that was used to, to implement the, the solution. So as I've mentioned it's very medical oriented or medical vital science orientated, but you could change the implementation fairly easily. And I will discuss that in the actual detail architecture. From a visual perspective, all the interface, or should I say the dashboard really for the analytics and the views into the data. Based on Vue.js and deployed to Firebase and Firebase is really cool and it will uses a CDN and push data to edge servers that would then you could then connect your pairs into specific regions and areas to to sort of make use of of the edge services. I've also shown here the wearable device with the Bluetooth gateway. Unfortunately, I didn't have a picture of the Bluetooth gateway but you could have several watches connect to the Bluetooth gateway. You could then intercept the TCP server that the Bluetooth gateway connects to and inject extra data and what I've shown you is our hardware device in the previous slide that then via the Wi-Fi module pushes also to the IOT platform in the user. Or doctor or physician or patient can actually then view the data interface. The ingress into the application platform is via elastic load balancer. This was deployed on AWS. And via the ELB then to various ingress points. So we had an ingress dedicated to the message producer. I've shown you a couple of pods you could read the nice thing with Kubernetes and OpenShift is that you can scale these pods. They have a notion of a service and then the service will then use a round robin algorithm to connect to the different pods which are really we have a one-to-one correlation to Linux container. The message consumer then would read off the data that was pushed on to the Kafka messaging queue and connect to either couch base or Redis. And then we had another ingress or should I say route interface to an API gateway which is basically an engine X service that would that is just deployed as a reverse proxy. The nice thing is we use config maps and you could then update and change the config maps as you add services and change the services. Analytics service would then just present data for the dashboard. We have an auth service just to ensure that all endpoints were secure. And then a machine learning service which was the pluggable machine learning interface. I also implemented a CRON job. This was very Redis specific because we don't have the eventing feature and couch base has a powerful eventing feature that you can write JavaScript interfaces to aggregate data and push data from one bucket to the next. So I to implement that I just used a CRON job to read from data from Redis and then store it into a key value store for the aggregation. So that's basically the implementation of the different services. What I also did was implement a metrics interface and by the way all the deployment templates to deploy Kafka we use Strimsy. For couch base we use the couch base operator. For Redis there's a deployment, there's a Redis HA deployment template in the repo and again all these and for the actual observability section we have all the templates in the repo and I'll have a link at the end of the slide that you can go have a look at. So we have a dedicated ingress again to Grafana dashboard that then picks up from a Prometheus server that does all the scraping from the different microservices. So the dedicated Kafka instance again would be put on to three three dedicated nodes these nodes were tainted. So we don't want any other services running on them. And they each would have a Kafka zookeeper instance on this is before the, the, the newer version of Kafka which does not have zookeeper. For the Redis couch base we had three dedicated nodes also tainted where we have an HA version of couch base or Redis and for each in each availability zone. We have a persistent volume for Kafka and zookeeper in case there was an outage we would, we could have all data persisted, as well as the persistent volumes for either Redis or couch base. So for the analytics, I just gave a quick overview of basically, you know the elements needed for the scoring. So basically you'd have the data engineer or data analyst, updating information via Scala. And then this would then create a bundle a zip file. And there is a great project called M leap. And it will then take that zip file. And then it would push that zip file into the actual pod, or deployed within the pod. And then the M leap will pick up and handle the, the interface via Jason for for the actual scoring. All development is done locally. You create a artifact the zip, the zip is uploaded into the M leap service and that can be used for for the machine learning scoring. So for the analytics side, as I mentioned, catchphrase is a very powerful DB eventing service where you can write JavaScript to aggregate. And the great thing is that you can then streamline your, your database to handle. So you don't want to have too much data that you're going to be storing so you set a time to live on the initial bucket, where all the events are coming through from Kafka. Then catchphrase has this eventing routine it will pick up within the, within the TTL the time to live so if you set the time to live to 10 minutes just let's say. So this is on on your capacity planning but if you if you let's, as an example use 10 minutes, you would need to have the aggregation, the eventing running every five minutes just to ensure that you, you've got all the data. You would aggregate the data, and then push it to another bucket so it's a really powerful feature within couch base. As I mentioned, I haven't implemented. So for this implementation I haven't, I have used Redis. And so I have a cron job that runs instead of, you know, the, the, because it doesn't have the eventing. To go into more details now on the actual IOT performance and how we got to 3500 requests per second. After having a look at the architecture. I found two levels of optimization in the, I was the all the nodes were based on core OS streams. So the actual settings are very core OS specific. So basically in the ETC security limits, I found that setting soft and hard limits for any user and route to over one million, as well as the ETC sis control config file, where we have the FS file max to over one million. There are no Linux experts, so I found that these two configurations were, were enough for me to get the, the throughput that I wanted, but there is a read me file that I've also deployed that I have in the actual repository that you can go have a look at for extra additional tweaks and setups for optimization on, on, on the host so every host that had within our deployment would have the setting enabled for the actual Kafka optimization what I found was that really worked well was the setting up a cleaner. The service that runs, and that the policy that I use was compact and delete. And I set the log retention hours to, to one hour. Obviously you can actually lower that you can set it to a couple of minutes if you wanted to. But what's so nice about this is that the algorithm will then need a specific message ID and the message data, and it will then look for duplicates and basically compact those duplicates and you'll only have the latest data. So if you had, let's for example say 1000 devices, you would have only 1000 sort of pieces, 1000 message IDs within Kafka that will then only take the latest data compacted and delete the unwanted one so in this way you preserve. A lot of overhead with regards to data storage. And this was one of the optimizations that we found really worked well.  So, so what I did do here, and just to sort of indicate what this is all about is that I created via Golang go bench, it's an open source project I, I clone the project and then obviously updated and made some changes that would be very specific to the version payload. And I created 1000 for this example 1000 different users with different payloads. And, and then run and let it run and I found that in order to. I mean, to run this thing over 24 hours is a bit time consuming. And I found that I could do it within. It was, I think six and a half hours by pushing the request to 13,585 requests per second. I managed to get 326 million requests in that time with no failures which is, which is really good. And you can see here I've used them, the node port on the local on the Kubernetes. Implementation Kubernetes lab, lab implementation that I have. And I found the optimum here was 500 clients to be able to give me the, the 13,585 requests. So this is like, really three times, maybe more. Three times more than what was requested. And so it gives you a good level of confidence that the system does work and does scale. So yeah this was, this was really beneficial. It was good to see that with that with that with that architecture that we could scale. And what I also did was I added metrics. So on on the actual message consumer and producer. You can see that the average heap memory and CPU usage was was really exceptional way below than what I expected. The most, the more important ones were the, the average request times and it's a pity that this, I'm sorry this graph is fairly small, but you can, you can take my word for it that the request times were under half a second. And that was 300 at this point in time where I did the, the, the snapshot for this slide, we're on 300 million requests. And the average, the average request time was sitting round about well way way under, well, at about 500 milliseconds was just fairly impressive. That's for the consumer, low memory usage, low CPU usage. And so all in all I was really satisfied with with the throughput, the final reading here. At the end, just to ensure that I got most of the data through was 326 million. And so if I go back to the initial. The initial test, we see that we have 326 million so they, the actual go bench told me that I had produced 326 million. The analytics of the Prometheus serve had picked up 326 million. And over here because I initially set up some tests, and I did not clear them. When I started the, the, the, the complete profiling. But all in all, we are really happy with the, the throughput with a response. You know, I think, I think what we were happy with is that is really was the simplicity of the design and the simplicity of the, of the implementation. All in all, the, the offering really is, is fairly customizable, and we could make you make it work within the different industries like medical for industrial type systems, automotive education, I mean the list goes on really. So what I'll do now is just basically share the, the front end design and and overview that that we use to implement the system. What I'll do here is I'll just go ahead and show you the actual the dashboard itself. So the thinking here was just to have a main dashboard and yes I know. People are going to say, oh, you have PII data here exposed. I just chose to add this as a, as an example but this obviously a name tied to an ID does not have to be revealed. This could be completely hidden. We can opt in and opt out with that. There's some way of tying a profile to a specific patient and that could be the client doctor privilege. But we have the specific pieces of information here. The systolic blood pressure, the diastolic was not needed for the actual statistics or analytics should I say so we have the systolic blood pressure. The average heart rate, average blood oxygen saturation. And then the respiratory rate. It's a weird icon I know but that's basically what we had at the time of the design and then temperature that was measured. And these were the basic averages over the week. So we say we only, we only collect seven days with the data. And then against the actual AI engine, the, we use news, it's the national early warning score, it has a matrix. And the, the scoring was against this. And so basically then just other information use and usage net. And then just the level. So basically this patient because of one or two measurements that were exceeding the news early, the early warning score is in critical conduct, well is in critical mode. So the indicators here will show you the early warning scores. And you can see here that the heart rate is, is in a level you to, according to the news matrix. And the problem, the area that is problematic was the level you three, whether the temperature was above the average. And then just lastly we have a group of charts. We have seven days for each measurement so we have for blood pressure for heart rate. Blood oxygen temperature and respiratory rate. So I mean I know this is a very simplistic view and interface. As we mentioned this was built around view view JS has a very simple implementation it makes then calls to the back end service. And these services have a JWT to protect the end points. That's basically it for the design. So in conclusion, we have, I think met our criteria that we designed and develop the system. And with the event driven microservices on a loosely coupled architecture that have interfaces that were totally pluggable based on Linux containers. We met the scalable and high availability criteria. And I think that this level of confidence in that the system, you know, produced the throughput that the, that the requirements we had upfront could handle. So I want to thank you for listening to this talk. I believe these slides are going to be shared. And the appropriate links. I've actually put in here. And these are just, if you're really interested I created a couple of blogs on LinkedIn. I'm basically describing how I went about profiling the Golang microservices. How I use the ML scholar Apache spark engine to run against the news the national early warning system. Just a little side project, because our tecton pipelines were taking, you know, more than about eight minutes to actually build and deploy. I'm a great fan of tecton and August CD, but just in a development environment is a bit. Slow. And so I created a custom CD pipeline. And I've also written article on that and it does a does a linting a test, all the unit tests. It does a static code analysis via sonar cube. And then building the, the actual Linux container and embedding the binary in that container, pushing it to key IO using canico Google container tools. It's a fairly neat thing. It's actually can obviously because of of your native deployment it's it makes use of, of that and, and you can get sort of end to end development build to to your Linux container registry within a minute, I've also dropped in links for the complete project and the You'll find in the actual project links to the message producer, the message consumer for both catch base and redis. There's an analytic service, the cron interface, the IOT, the author interface, the template to deploy all the artifacts, and all the, the database, the message queue. And then I have the implementation of go bench to do the performance profiling, and I've included the spark ML vital signs scholar implementation as as just as an indication I could not share the data the data was was given by a third party and because we were still in a PSE mode they didn't want any data to be revealed so I can't share the data unfortunately. I have the the spark ML has been a clone from another project so it's really it was a really simple implementation. So, again, I want to thank you. My contact details are here fans contact details are also here. Please feel free to contact us clone the projects. And read up on on what we had to offer. I think it's really easy to implement other types of services by changing this schemas these message producing consumer extremely simple. There's no rocket science in them. Yeah, so I'll leave this open to to question and answers. Thank you very much for for listening.


So, Hilary, I'm so excited to be speaking with you in that very exciting context of your car. And you are obviously a kind of leading architect of your generation, and also we're so lucky to have you at GSAP as leading the course studio sequence, but also in particular the housings to you. GSAP has a very long history of looking at housing as the intersection of architecture and the city, and you really kind of rethought what the studio can be both in terms of relational thinking, you know, focusing on New York, but then comparing New York to other cities, Mexico City and other Miami, Los Angeles, etc. You've thought about new ideas about luxury. You kind of encouraged the invention of new typologies for housing, and I wanted in particular to ask about those and also how housing today, the studio is engaging with questions of climate change through materials and the envelope in particular. Good. Thank you, Amal. It's great to talk to you this morning. I'm sorry from my car, but in these times we are doing this. It's great. Yeah, so I think for leading the housing studio for about 10 years now at the school and teaching with many faculty, we have a really great group of other teachers also working pretty in-depthly on housing, their focus in their own practices. So it's a really great group. I think colleagues that are all sharing in similar concerns, although approaching them in slightly different ways. So it makes the studio a really rich environment for exploring a subject like urban collective housing and certainly being a school in New York City. Columbia is really, I think, has an amazing opportunity because we have, as our main subject, right outside of our doors, something we can engage in on a day-to-day basis, and that's very much part of our studio brief that we look at. So the studio focuses on housing in New York City. The sites we engage in are in the city have primarily been outside of the school, very close, always within walking distance to the campus. Sometimes a little bit of a walk, but we make it over to the South Bronx has been the last probably five years that we've focused more carefully in those particular neighborhoods. That's free to explore. So a range of different affordability levels, questioning issues around market, issues around policy are very much part of the studio. How does architecture engage in policy? And what's interesting about our studio that we have focused on housing for New York is that it's a long history of housing, both in terms of development within the city. But it really reflects the development of housing across the city, across the state, and then across the country. So it's a lot of our housing policies originated in New York City. And then as such, the types of housing evolve in tandem with that. And sometimes you see an invention of a housing type that then in turn influences policy that becomes not just city-wide but national, adopted nationally. And there's a housing project right near our campus that really reflects that from the 50s. And so these are some of the things that start to shape the basis for the studio. So it's not, you know, it's not just that we're designing without thinking beyond a greater issues. And so students get that complimentary of design with also policy, urban planning, historic preservation, real estate development, all of the other disciplines that are housed in our school that you're working on beyond just our architecture program. So it's really great to do that. We're also, a lot of this is reflected too with the other faculty in these other disciplines. And so Professor like Richard Plunts, who wrote a very famous book on housing and design, Andrew Dahlkart has also done a lot of work through historic preservation. And these form some of the basis of our readings are Gwendolyn Wright and Michael Bell. People also like Stephen Hall and Laurie Hawkinson have also been working on subjects of housing and have taught in the studio previously. So we have a really, a really in-depth look at housing through faculty within the studio and beyond as well. And one way that you've really brought that history to bear on the present is through your cut sheets, as well as the transfer, the kind of transcripts that you've done with architects such as Michael Moulton or Tatiana Dabau, sort of bringing that history to this moment and seeing how there are very exciting new practices that are building on that history to rethink housing for today, but also for the future. Completely, totally. I think one of the things to just, we've been trying to keep in mind as the students progress through the core and then go on to the advanced studios is that they will be engaging in many other contexts or we have been until, I'm not sure now, future, but how this will proceed to start to think about the global conditions. But to compliment New York and what the students learn in New York City looking abroad, we have introduced many different housing projects from around the world. Part of it is that the students are also from all of these places and we asked them to bring to the studio examples that they know. And then also we look at those projects in depth through kind of analysis and documentation, drawing, making models, and just trying to understand some of these housing projects through different things, not only policy where possible but things like climate environment, different kinds of just basic understanding of housing, lighting conditions, things like stairs, egress, accessibility through elevators, you know, the most basic things related to, to housing are things we're looking at but then understanding to what our local kind of building materials, how, how are buildings put together, what is available, what is ethical. Some of these questions are all on the table for, for the housing studio to help the students engage in that we've started a series of things called cut sheets that look at both these projects through the kind of traditional representation that we all need to know is projects like plans and sections, and then I've also introduced other kinds of representational drawings, perspectives, renderings, things like this that make each project then unique from the architects perspective. And one of the key questions I've been asking of the students, and perhaps all of the faculty as well, is just if we're working on housing, what else are we doing housing in the United States as a practice has been looked at really as a specialty practice because of all of the requirements needed. And so it seems at times onerous to other kinds of practices that on, even though we really need so much design and housing. And so this way we've been looking at an identifying offices that are doing housing as well as other kinds of design work and that housing sits alongside those design projects in their office and so to think of somebody like Michael Moulton, who was the first architect we looked at for the transcripts and housing series a book project. These architects come and they probably studio specific word housing studio focused on housing a lot. And then from that we transcribe the lecture and complemented with other essays by scholars and practitioners with images and drawings. And the cut sheets kind of start started that whole process and all together we have about 125 examples from New York City but also from around the world for the students to look at each year in the housing studio. We meet two days a week for studio but a third day we meet for just lectures. And there are a range of scholars and experts and other practicing professionals that come and speak on the subject of housing. We've had Roseanne Hager to come to talk about issues around homelessness to someone also like that Oppenheimer to talk about structures and housing. So there's a wide range of expertise that is brought to the to the design studio. I also wanted to touch on your own work because of course you bring just incredible expertise, both in terms of your research you were, you know, one of the first to look at how you know housing and health. And, and, and surely now I think in this current COVID-19 context, you know, bringing focusing on this question of housing and health is really interesting. I'm sure you're already thinking about this for studio. And then I also wanted to touch upon your own beautiful work on housing you've been doing actual housing projects in in in Mexico, as well as in Washington DC. And, you know, kind of where we add when when will we see be, you know, see great images of these projects. Yeah, I think I've been in health and it's intersection with architecture and urbanism for quite some time I was really lucky to participate in project through the Center for Canadian architecture called imperfect health and published an essay there as well as some other texts through Harvard Design Magazine looking at health, the well, well, well issue which was based on travel that I did with students from GSOP to Rio de Janeiro, and looking at a flvella there and the kind of incredible challenges faced through building but yet amazing community of people that live in that flvella and have small businesses and choose to live there as opposed to living in other places where they can and so trying to understand the kind of rich and deep complexity of issues that surround a place like that for instance. And then, you know, looking more carefully through issues of just affordability, equity in the studio in the site for sure in the South Bronx is something that's been important with respect to that and understanding the community there in parallel with places like Mexico so typically the studio has a site in the South Bronx and we look at a certain group of people and try to understand their context here versus where they might be associated with a sort of social association through places like Mexico. And so thinking a little bit about how you have people working and working and living and that's one of the subjects of the studio and also in our own work in my office, trying to understand this different, the differences between places and so New York we've seen a shift from families to households and other cities we're still talking about housing through families and that structure for sure in Mexico we see that the kitchen becomes incredibly important in that case, just culturally and in relation to the dynamic of living in places like Washington DC trying to understand affordability has been through creating in the case of a project I'm currently working on about 63 units of all affordable housing and some for the permanent supportive housing. And that requires larger bedrooms, and it's the same in New York City but in Washington DC the square footage is a little bit bigger. And, and, and there are many more of those kinds of units, and trying to understand that in the context of, for instance the mayor there is doing a much larger initiative and trying to build about 50,000 units by 2025, which is still not enough. And they're not any different than New York needing more more housing, but in terms of the health and in the situation we're in now finding ourselves having to be isolated. How to still have a kind of relationship to the exterior world, both physically but visually being able to have access to light and fresh air. And trying to understand just sequence from entry to your, your own individual unit, and how that happens and we can, one of the things I'm working on right now is researching subject of staircases and vertical transportation and and trying to understand where people actually can mix and to what degree they can mix and interact and some architects you see their work have have reduced this down to people sharing just two units off of a stair and and other things like this and I think it's quite an important research in and if we're going to continue to live in this way of having to isolate but still feel the need to connect at smaller scales, which is different than just completely isolating and correspondingly through video. Well, thank you, Hillary I don't know of anyone or any focus that would be more timely. Thank you so much for your time. I know that I have no doubt that the studio will be transformed one more time and really exciting next year so thank you so much. Thank you Dan address.
