Next question is from Luke Colestius. What are some signs you're not drinking enough water? You're thirsty a lot. It's probably the biggest sign. It's the biggest one. Actually, isn't technically the, if you are thirsty, it's already the sign? It's too late. Right, it means you're already technically dehydration to start. So here's the problem with that. Is that true? Yeah, well you get, okay. So here's a problem. There's people in the fitness and performance space that say, for example, they'll give this arbitrary number. It's not necessarily arbitrary, but they'll say, you need to drink a gallon of water a day. Then you get like the science people and they'll go, no, that's not true. You need much less water. And then the fitness people will say, well, if you're thirsty, it means you're already dehydrated. And the other people will say, no, you're not dehydrated. Okay. There's optimal water intake for maximum performance. And then there's just the amount of water you need to be okay. And if you have that much, you're not gonna get negative detrimental health effects. Optimal is typically more than the minimum required for no negative effects. So I think we should talk about optimum and not necessarily, because if you just drink when you're thirsty and you pay attention, you're not gonna necessarily have these negative health effects from not having enough water. Or maybe you do just not recognizing them. Yeah. Or maybe it's like over a long period of time, right? But if you want optimal performance, a little bit more water makes a big difference. You'll feel it in your workouts, you'll see it in your skin, you'll sleep better. Like there's a lot of things that you notice. Well, there are different things. And one of the ones, I remember I heard Justin talking about this one time and I had never thought about it for like low energy. Sometimes people come in and they train and they haven't really had much water at all for the day and they're just low energy. And making sure that they chug a glass or two of water before their workout could make a difference on their energy levels. I noticed a difference when I started to make a conscious effort on that. I also noticed something that, and I'm gonna totally destroy this. And maybe you guys can help me put to words exactly what was going on. But I went through this phase where I wasn't drinking very much water at all. And I kept hearing this, whenever I'd squat heavy, I'd get like- I remember you telling me this. Yeah, I'd get like this pop in my quad. And it would hurt. It would drop me to the ground. Like after I would freak out, it would feel initially like I tore something or something happened. And then it would feel really bad for at least a couple of days and then it seemed to get better. And I'd be okay. So I know I didn't tear anything. It wasn't anything major like that. But it happened to me enough times that I could start, I started to connect the dots. Like, oh wow, every time I don't make a conscious effort to drink at least a quarter of a gallon of water in my day before I got to these leg routines, this would happen to me. And so long as I always stayed really hydrated, it would never happen. No matter how heavy I went, no matter any other combination of things. And I couldn't quite figure out what it was. All I knew was it was connected something to me being hydrated that was causing something. And I don't know if like things weren't lubricated very well. And so they got hung up and then that popping feeling would happen. Yeah, I can't really add to that. But in terms of like joint pain, I definitely have seen a massive difference in terms of being hydrated, not being dehydrated and having that nagging, achy, chronic kind of arthritis kind of feel when I'm not drinking enough water. And my clients as well, I've seen it with them and once they're focused on that too, it's definitely helped alleviate a lot. Yeah, for me, the color of my urine will tell me a lot, right? So unless I've had B vitamins, which B vitamins always turn urine super, but it's a different kind of yellow, it's like, it looks like it's glowing.  If it starts to get really dark, usually means I'm not drinking enough. And here's one. What about blue? Blue's pretty good at a hospital, I think, or red, right? Yeah, or you're awesome. Yeah, so one thing to keep in mind though, is if you're somebody that works out often and you don't eat a lot of processed food, and let's say you suffer from like eye twitches or muscle cramps or heart palpitations, which a lot of times people will say, oh, that's related to not being hydrated. So you just drink more water and it doesn't go away. This is something I figured out for myself. It wasn't that I needed more water, it was that I also needed more sodium. So because sodium helps, it's an electrolyte, right? It's part of how muscles contract and the body works. I would just drink a lot more water and sometimes some of these things wouldn't go away and my urine was super clear and I'd still get certain issues. And then I realized I need more sodium because I don't eat processed, even though I salt my food, it's not a lot of sodium. So when we started working with LMNT, that made a huge difference. And I put that in my water and then boom, had none of those issues. Yeah, it's interesting you bring that up because that's something I found out even in athletics. So I had never played in humidity before and this was a massive adaptation I had to figure out because I would be so fatigued and I would be gassed by like half time and I couldn't figure out, like, and I would hydrate days prior to that, making sure.  But I just never seemed to be able to get energized like consistently to be able to play in that environment other than probably to play it more often and adapt naturally. But the electrolytes I started introducing more and adding like pinches of salt into my water and I was able to sustain my energy way longer. Yeah, when I would train endurance athletes, that was a big one for me. It was like maybe 10 years into my career and I started getting, I got one, as you get one client and they'll refer a few friends and they're all in the same shit. And so I had these clients that were triathletes and one guy competed in Ironman, so it's a big deal. And that's what I did with them. I'd have them put a pinch of sea salt in their water and it made a huge difference. And why? Because they sweat so much and they don't eat a lot of processed food.  And so I'd say, and I remember the first guy I told that to I said, try adding a little salt to your water. I was like, salt water. I'm like, well, not like the ocean, but add a pinch in your water each time and see if you notice a difference. And he came back, he's like, dude, it was crazy. He's like, I felt like a completely different person. So something to keep in mind because if you're like really fit and health minded and you're drinking a lot of water and then you have these signs of dehydration and you can't figure out what the hell's going on and you drink more water might make it worse. You may actually need some electrolytes or in particular sodium. Hey, if you enjoyed that clip, you can find the full episode here or you can find other clips over here and be sure to subscribe.


All right. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining us. My name is Oindrilla Chatterjee and I am a senior data scientist at Red Hat. And I work in the emerging technologies group at Red Hat and I am coming from Boston, United States. And today we are going to be talking about uncovering new open source communities using graphical analysis and network analysis. And I'll let my colleague introduce herself. Thanks, Oindrilla. So hello, everyone. My name is Hema Viradi and I'm also working as a data scientist in the emerging technology group at Red Hat. And I'm based out of California and the United States. And if you want to connect with me later, you can reach me on LinkedIn, GitHub. Feel free to reach out to us after the talk as well. So before we get started, I would encourage you all to answer this question that we have by scanning the QR code. So this is just a live poll to get an understanding to know what is your role right now in open source. So are you a developer? Are you a project owner? Are you a project maintainer? Whatever it may be. Feel free to put in your answers over there. And we should also start seeing it populate as well. So I see there's a software engineer, data scientist, so more software engineers. I'm going to give a couple of more seconds. But yeah, so as we can see, we all have different roles to play in this open source community. Our majority, I'm guessing, here at this conference are more from a technical perspective. So we are more of developers and engineers and things like that, right? So all of us have this important sort of role that we play. And part of the motivation of this project or the kind of goal that we want to do in this project is, firstly, we want to identify and get notified about the early and emerging open source projects that are existing out there. So we all know that the community is so large and so big that it's sometimes unclear for us to sort of pinpoint and identify those new and emerging projects. So that's one thing that we would like to achieve. Secondly, we would also like to look at the communities around these projects. So we want to track who are the important user groups? Who are the important core contributors? Who are your open source ecosystem main sort of maintainers? And how do these kind of evolve over time? And finally, we would also like to graphically visualize all of this. So that's where the network analysis and social graphical analysis that we're going to talk about comes into picture. So what we want to do here is we want to sort of identify the maturity of a project over time and we want to see where the interrelationships between projects exist. So how does network analysis help in achieving these goals? So we talked about looking at early notifications, trying to track those important projects. So one way to do this is representing them graphically. So what we do here in the first graph that you see is you're trying to depict your projects or basically your GitHub repositories as your central nodes. And you're also trying to identify the contributors around these different projects. So you're trying to see how many contributors exist in a particular project and so on. And we want to further dive down into that graph a little bit more and look at what are the important nodes that exist in that graph. So that's where all those graphical algorithms come into picture. So you're trying to identify which are the top most important nodes in that graph and try to identify the influential users and so on. And then finally, we also want to look at it from a time perspective. So you want to see the growth of a project. Let's say you're starting a new project. You want to sort of project what the trajectory might look like over time. So you also want to track all of this in a historical way. And ultimately, we also want to incorporate some AI and machine learning capability to sort of predict what the trajectory would look like for this project to succeed. So that's kind of how network analysis can sort of tie all of this together. And all of this kind of effort is part of a larger initiative called the Project Aspen. So Project Aspen is an open source project which is mainly developed at the open source program office at Red Hat. So what Aspen does is it has a couple of components that are currently actively being developed, which we are also using in our project in our work. So firstly, there is a tool called Augur where we collect all of our open source project data from. So Augur essentially is scraping all of the data which is from GitHub. And we mainly use that tool to collect all the information from various GitHub repositories. And we also have a visualization tool called 8.0. So this is an interactive dashboard. So what you see on the graph over there on the right is developed by these dashboards. So that's a tool that we also have where you can sort of filter which repository you're interested in. And you can sort of see some metrics like community health metrics, project activity over time and things like that. So there are some inbuilt metrics in the dashboard that you can further look at. And then we also have the repel repo which is the main repo where we do all of our research and open-ended sort of experiments to look at which is what we are contributing to. So that's a little bit about the larger initiative. And now we can come to the representation of these projects that we talked about in a more graphical format. So if you look at the first one on the left over here, we see that the central nodes are basically your project. So it represents a particular repository. And you can also find out who are your contributors which are surrounding that particular repo. So here we do not, you know, pinpoint contributors were completely sort of obfuscating that part of it. So we're making it very private and it's more like just looking at the contributor IDs and that's how it looks like. So some of these projects have a larger sort of dense contributors. Some of the smaller ones like the purple one have a lesser kind of population around it. So this is one way to represent a particular project. Now if you look at the second representation, again here, each of the nodes represent your repositories. But what we're doing in the edges is looking at the number of shared common contributions that exist between those repositories. So that's how it's likely different from the first representation. So the edge between those two nodes is basically like the weight of the contributions that might have exist between those projects. So those are defined by the activities that happen in the project, which we will come to a little later in the slides. But this is kind of how we would represent it from a graphical standpoint. So, oh, yes, you have a question as the weight of the edge. So and yeah, and also the length. So if you see a larger distance, it's probably because they have a lesser number of contributions. Whereas if you see them being a little more closer, that means the weight of the contributions is a little higher. So yeah, that's how the representation is. So next we can move on to representing projects as nodes and the shared contributions that we were looking at as edges. So here the main goal to do this kind of representation is you want to sort of aggregate all of those shared activities in those nodes. And then you want to sort of also further drill down and filter out those which might not have a lot of activity so that you only focus on those key sort of projects in those nodes, right? So, for example, here we're trying to look at some of the more popular Kubernetes based repositories. So we have a couple of Kubernetes repos. We also have some of the OpenShift repositories. So OpenShift is again very much related to Kubernetes. So these are some projects where we picked because of their sort of known connections to each other. And we try to look at how close they are, how far apart they are. So that the goal is that when you visualize it like this, you can actually identify those which are emerging, right? So if you know one very well-known project, let's say Kubernetes, you want to know what are the other projects surrounding that very well-known project because those can potentially be your next emerging project. So you kind of want to identify those key links between each other. So that's what we're trying to do in this particular representation. So what exactly counts as those shared activities, right? So we saw those edge weights between those different nodes. So what we count as an activity are things like issues, PRs, comets, PR reviews and things like that. And the weight that we defined is defined by what is the strength of the connection based on those type of contributions being made. So basically you're looking at are these contributions done by a maintainer? Are these contributions done by a developer or a core contributor and so on? So that's how those edge weights are being defined. And then finally, you also want to find those emerging projects. So we look at some metrics for a particular project like how many number of forks does this project have? How many number of stars, excuse me, how many number of stars does this project have? And then of course, the activity trend over time for a particular project. So that's kind of how we look at all these different shared activities. So again, if you can take the poll and answer this question, you don't have to scan it again. It should already be there in the previous tab that you had open. But I want to ask you all, what do you think makes a project rapidly emerging? So you have a couple of options to choose from. For example, do you look at the growth in the number of stars that it has? Do you look at the number of issues? Or do you look at the external popularity of that project? So kind of rating what you think is most important over here. So I see some votes coming in. Some people are looking at the issues PRs come. It says the most important. Some people are looking less in terms of the number of forks, number of stars. So I guess most of us are more interested in the activity of a project. I'm going to give a few more seconds for folks to add their responses. Okay, so we have some people who are interested in external popularity. So that's nice. You want to sort of also see apart from PRs and comets and all of that. You also want to look at it from external factors, right? So maybe you've heard about this project in some other outlets. So that's also an important feature. Awesome. So yeah, thanks for participating. These are all good responses. And you can sort of see that each of you, based on your role, also as kind of weighing things differently, right? So that's what we can also take into account when we do this kind of analysis to make sure that we're capturing the right set of activities that you think is important. And that's how you can sort of gauge where your project lives. So following up, one more question that we have for you is, what is the most important insight that you're looking for from your own community? So most of us participate in some kind of open source community. So what is it that you want to learn about these communities, right?  So you can feel free to add your responses over here as well. Okay, so what do we need to change to attract more users and contributors? Yeah, that's a great point. So you also want to see how can we improve communities, right? So what are some things that you should focus on to improve? So that's definitely a good thing to look at. What part need help to connect them better? Okay, yeah, so examples of use cases. What's one next project that could be interesting? Exactly. So that's something that we want to also gain from these kind of analysis, right? So you know that this project is existing, but you also want to know how do we make this project bigger? So I see somebody said, how do you make it bigger? What can be some other things that we can contribute to make it interesting? So yeah, these are all great insights. And we hope to incorporate these kinds of insights into our analysis further. But yeah, thanks for all these suggestions. And these are some things that we are also looking at. We're trying to understand what community managers are interested in, what contributors are interested in, what developers are interested in. So depending upon your role, you kind of look at communities differently. So that's the reason why we try to get data from different set of projects and try to sort of aggregate them in this graphical representation. With that, I would like to hand it over to Oindrila. She's going to talk more about these algorithms that we've implemented. Awesome, thanks, Hema. So now that we looked at more of the questions or some of the goals that we want to achieve from these projects, let's try to look into some of the more technical details and how do we get to assessing these goals. So firstly, to do that, we researched some algorithms which are graph centrality algorithms. And this is sort of one of the most important areas of research when you're trying to identify key players or important players within a graph network. So what do important nodes within a graph network mean? So in terms of like in graph language, important nodes can mean, number one, they have a lot of links or a lot of like direct connections to them, or it can mean that that particular node can reach other nodes in like fewer hops, it can reach other projects really easily. And another meaning could be that it really sits in between projects. So it sort of lies in between like the shortest path of different projects. So we'll go over a little bit more into what this means for GitHub repos, but before we get there, let's get into some of the algorithms that we researched. The first algorithm that we looked into is PageRank. And PageRank is one of the most popular algorithms which was again, Google came up with this. And this was used to rank like web pages or websites which are the most popular within like Google search rankings. So in terms of using PageRank for our use case, PageRank has a variety of use case like starting from social networks to molecular biology. So for our use case, we actually use these nodes since these different nodes represent different GitHub repositories. These edges between them are common contributors or common contributions. So PageRank can be actually used to detect the most prominent nodes within this graph network. So however, it was great when we tried to apply it to some use case. It was great at identifying like the important players, like the most veteran or the most well-established projects, but it was not good at identifying projects which are important in relationship to the other projects in the community. So for example, if we knew a list of well-established projects and if we are trying to understand that in this ecosystem, for example, containers, what is another project which could fit into this group, PageRank wasn't really good at filtering out or finding projects in relationship to other projects. So another algorithm that we looked at is betweenness centrality. So this was also our main aim was to find influential nodes within this network. What this algorithm essentially does or means is that it tries to find nodes which almost sit in between other nodes. So it almost lies in the path of the different projects within a network. So we tried to test this out on cloud-native computing foundation projects.  And I'll also go a little bit more into this later. But what we saw was that the more veteran or the more well-established projects almost had higher betweenness centrality scores. And the other projects which were new or which were just introduced in CNCF had smaller betweenness. And something which was pretty interesting, which we saw with betweenness centrality, was that this was good at also emphasizing on a node's popularity in the context of the repositories which it is a part of, the ecosystem that it is a part of. The next algorithm that we looked at was closeness centrality. And again, this is also a way of detecting nodes which are closest to each other. So this can be used to find nodes which are at a shortest distance from an existing node. So we essentially use this to find nodes which are most well connected or the closest to a well-established project. So that we get a better understanding of projects which are almost like interdependent on each other. So these were the key centrality algorithms that we looked at. So now that we have an understanding of these algorithms, we wanted to apply this to certain use cases and try these out on some real world cases that we can try this on. So one of the first use case was identifying open shift, which for those of you who are not familiar, it's the enterprise version of Kubernetes. So we wanted to identify open shift almost as a downstream of Kubernetes. So in the years 2011 to 2014, Kubernetes was a well-established project and open shift was emerging as like a downstream of Kubernetes. And we wanted to trace back in time and see if we can detect those patterns just using centrality algorithms. So we tried, we tested this out on three control groups. One was well-known projects. So we added Kubernetes and Docker, which are very much related and which were very established during that timeframe. And in the emerging projects, we wanted to detect open shift. So that's what we added in that field. And in the last section, in other communities, we included certain projects which were also emerging and which were appearing in different like news outlets and which were coming up in those years, like Apache Hadoop, Apache Mesos, the Jetty project and so on. And we wanted to see what these algorithms show us. So the first thing that we did was we wanted to see like during those years what the trend looks like for these projects. So we particularly picked one open shift project. And as you can see here, I can also just quickly show you the real dashboard. So we saw that like during those 2011 to 2014 ranges, the pull request activity and also the commit activity and the contributor growth for this open shift repository was actually growing. And we saw that this is actually like a prominent project during those years. So we actually went back and represented these sort of data points from that Git repository in graph representations and we applied these algorithms to it. So the first thing that we saw upon applying between the centrality was that this was very effective at highlighting Kubernetes and the Docker repos, which are obviously well known. So the red nodes and the blue nodes that you see are sort of the Kubernetes and the Docker repos. But we also saw that the open shift repos were showing in the graph like the green repos are open shift, it actually came up. But the other community repos like the purple ones were insignificant. Although they were very key players, they were not really important in that ecosystem. And that's why that was almost effectively filtered out. And the second representation, we saw that this was even better at filtering out those other community repos. So here we see that sort of Docker and Kubernetes are pretty closely related and then the open shift repos are also there in this ecosystem, although a little further away. And the second use case that we tried, this I'll just go over very quickly, was actually representing CNCF projects using graph algorithms. So Cloud Native Computing Foundation actually ranks projects according to different maturity levels. So graduated projects are the most veteran projects and the sandbox projects are the more newer projects. So we wanted to see if we can use these graph techniques to essentially represent the maturity of a project in a way. So we tried like a subset of CNCF repos. We tried around 75 repos. And we saw that when applying the second graph representation that we saw before, where the edge lengths are almost like the closeness or the degree of connection between those projects, we saw that the graduated projects were sort of central in the repository and the sandbox projects were a little further away. Incubating projects were somewhere in the between, which is almost very similar to the maturity delineation that CNCF does. What was more interesting was the between the centrality scores. Here we saw that the graduated repos were the biggest blobs, definitely more prominent than the sandbox and the incubating repos. And without going too much into detail, I will show the overall rankings that we collected from this. So what we essentially did was all these different centrality algorithms, we scored each and every project based on the ranks the nodes were getting and we normalized them and added all those scores to get like a final scoring for each project within that control set. And here we were looking at about 75 CNCF repos and we sort of just picked a few top end projects within like the each category that we already know. And we saw that also the scores were sort of analogous to the maturity level of the project. So the graduated projects had like a higher total score, incubating projects had like a medium score and sandbox projects had a lower score. And this was pretty interesting to see because this also means that such scoring or these graph algorithms can also be used to identify which projects can be next introduced in the foundation or can be used to better quantify these decisions that we are making or also can be used in context of an organization. So yeah, that's all we had to share with you today. Some in terms of some ongoing efforts, we are also trying to extrapolate this work onto contributors or users. So applying these sort of algorithms on the maintainer score contributors on a project and actually seeing the sort of key players for each project. And we're also trying to periodically come up with lists of new projects that we want to introduce into the database so that we can analyze them further because our research is just limited to the projects that are in the database. And finally, we also want to prototype these like cool graphs and these plots that we saw into the Aspen dashboard that we saw earlier. So that would make it very easy to like filter down and use these graph algorithms outside of a Jupyter notebook or outside of like a Python environment, just making it easier for non-technical participants of a community to drill down. So yeah, here is the project repo where we are prototyping a lot of this work and in that folder, you'll find a lot of our notebooks. Again, there's a lot of documentation of this work and this is a collaboration that we've been doing with the open source program office at Red Hat. So if you have more questions, have ideas, feel free to reach out to us or open issues or just look through our work. And yeah, that's all we had for you. If you have questions, you can ask us now or also enter it in Slido if you're shy and just want to type it out. It's up to you, but thank you so much. That's a good question. So right now we are relying on like the Augur database which for which Augur's main, it's a chaos foundation project and I think their main data source is GitHub right now. But I think like the APIs are like very similar. So if Augur is able to like ingest GitLab, I think the analysis is essentially the same. So it really, or if there's a separate database that we can fetch data from, I think it's easy to just get GitLab data as well. So you're using the data? Yes. What's the data from your GitHub? Yes, we are not directly getting it from GitHub because you know how API calls and API limits and everything is. So Augur has been a very sustainable, great source for us because it also has different tables and it really has a very extensive schema for like different kinds of, like it really helps us go from like a project to another project and has great links in terms of contributors, participants and it's a good relational database schema that just helps us. So you're using the source? Yes. Yes, it's a relational database which we feed into for more unstructured analysis. Like definitely our analysis on is more like non-relational, more unstructured, but our source is all like SQL queries and then we ingest it into a Python environment. Yes. So what do I need to do to carry analysis of my whole projects? Reach out to us. Like if you want to open issues or we can talk further honestly, there are more use cases like we saw earlier that we are willing to try this on. So if yours is a community that you know you have ideas about, you want to, you know, gain some insights on, we can work together and just spend something up. Yes. Security or rational projects with one of the tools to present this. Yeah, that's a good question. So that's something that we are currently looking into. So as of now we sort of looked at like a specific defined use case that we can test and validate. But the next step is exactly to your point, we want to do this internally at Red Hat. So we want to also identify like what are the top security projects? What are the top cloud native projects? So that is something that we are going to do next to look at it from that particular vertical in a given organization. So yeah, good question. That's something that we're looking at. Yes. One more question for me. So what practical actions does your data work at Red Hat or does it have to do with that data? That's a great question. And I don't know how much of this I can go into but in general, I think we are a part of the emerging tech group and we work closely with the open source program office. And usually the goal for us is to look at, you know, what are some emerging projects which can be useful to Red Hat or which can be a good community for us to just invest in. So the ideal goal for this is to inform those decisions and also for us to validate some of our investments in terms of, you know, quantified better and just see that if there is enough data backing, if there is like metric backing or if there are like some indicators that we need to be aware of before we take the next step or the next action. Yeah. Right, right. And also if it's any new like incubating project that's happening at the company, just to sort of keep an eye on like, are we having the right resources for it? Is the project going? How are we expected to go? What are the next milestones that we should be planning for and things like that? So kind of looking at it from that perspective. Okay, we are at the end of our time. So thank you again. Thank you.


Yeah, we're at the track covering the sport of Kings coming up this week. Jamaica's champion trainer Jason Dacosta repeats what his late dad Wayne Dacosta achieved seven years ago, landing the Thornburg Steaks and Prince Consort Steaks Double at Cayman Espart. The Barbados champion trainer Andrew Nunes also grabs headlines with feature a success at the Garrison Savannah. And a classy win for the 80-year-old gelding I Am Maximus in the world's most famous steeple chase, the Grand National at Aintree in England, plus the usual check-in on Caribbean success on the North American continent or opening store from Jamaica. The road to the Triple Crown series in Jamaica continued this past weekend with the latest prep events for the early June Guinness races that kick off Thoroughbred Racing's Triple Crown calendar, nine horses and Sunday's Prince Consort Steaks for Colts and geldings, all eyes on the 2023 champion two-year-old, interesting times ahead with leading Jockey Tevin Foster aboard the cold out for his first run this year, coming off his win in December as Jamaica's two-year-old Steaks. There's a nine-horse field with the odds, as many as six of the starters winners in their last races, interesting times ahead in the five-box, owned by Liz Dacosta and trained by her son Jason Dacosta, the happy favorite at two to five. The other fans had entries in the betting, the one-horse crown chaser, the second favorite at five to two, J. Speed, the two-horse at four to one, four captain's sparrow and six allegiance, both crown chasers' table mates from the Antonin Nunes barren at 15 to one, number seven, the costas Teflon Don also at 15 to one. The trip seven furlongs for Colts and geldings, they went early spits of 24 by 47 for, and as ace commentator, Bran Rickman picked up the call with the field, leaving the far turn, the favorite interest in times ahead, badly bumped out of the starting gates and off the pace here, but was patiently and confidently handled by Foster as he quickened toward the lead. Teflon Don has now snatched that lead, J. Speed in pursuit, unruly Don backing out into third. There goes midnight galaxy now shaken up for run and beginning to make some eye-catching progress, allegiance is there, interesting times ahead, also picking up on the outside, but the field will turn for home with Teflon Don just on the outside, J. Speed now kicking in against the rail at J. Speed points the head in front, Teflon Don will try to fight back, interesting times ahead now, warmed up and beginning to close, it is J. Speed out in front arriving at the furlong pole, here is interesting times ahead now, switched down against the rail, J. Speed holding on, interesting times ahead trying to close up, Devin Foster looking for a four-timer, an interesting times ahead will give it to him in the 31st running of the Prince Consort stakes. Much the best on the afternoon, interest in times ahead, guided to the rail run before pulling clear for the commanding victory, by bold conquest out of the he's the real thing mayor, my friend Lucy, the cold interest in times ahead makes it three wins in a row and gives form Jockey Tevin Foster one of five wins on the afternoon, the first career five-timer for the 29-year-old leading Jockey, who twice had four timers since the start of the year. Liz the Costa's interest in times ahead by three lengths as the two-to-five favorite in the Prince Consort, but trainer Jason the Costa, who won three races on the afternoon, the five-to-two bet crown chaser after a sluggish start, ran really well to close the second, one-minute 28 and three-fifths the winning time for seven furlongs. The Phyllis Guinness prep, the Thornbird stakes was contested on Saturday and it was another Jason the Costa show, although it was the Jamaica two-year-old stakes runner-up, run Julie run the favorite, to give trainer Ian Passard back-to-back Thornbird stakes wins, he having scored with Boutalicious last year, but as Jockey Robert Halladine rouses the Costa's eight-to-one shot, Bannadura into a three-length lead coming off the final bend, it was clear this field was in trouble. Midnight flight in pursuit, come home to me is there, fast and furious, links also in the red racing just in behind them with Miss Cherry and Shani Star, but Bannadura brings them into the top of the lane in the Thornbird, they leave the quarter pole, here is come home to me now, coming home strong down against the rail, but it's Bannadura with that lead from come home to me in the pink gap, Miss Cherry now asked to come with a rush, Bannadura being caught now by come home to me gaining all the time as they flash past for a long pole, it's Bannadura, come home to me has to be switched on the outside as Bannadura took the rail, Bannadura continuing to hold the lead, come home to me and run Julie run coming fast, but Bannadura wins the Thornbird. Halladine's bustling ride gets Bannadura home, over his closing stablemate, come home to me and the great favorite run Julie run on the outside, almost half of this 13-horse field more fancied in the betting than Bannadura, but an eight-to-one she cops her third win in five starts, the Costa the first trainer now to complete the Thornbird Prince consort stakes double since his dad Wayne the Costa achieved it seven years ago in 2017 with she's a man-eater and fearless samurai and he says after the Phillies good hotline stakes win last month he expected more betting support for her in the Thornbird. I was a bit surprised, I thought I should have been a bit shorter, coming off of that good win after layoff and you should should only improve off of that run so I was kind of surprised, I thought. Milena Zanz Bannadura, the eight-to-one upset winner by a length and a half in the Thornbird stakes chased by the 20-to-one stablemate come home to me with a six-to-five favorite run Julie run third, 129 and one fifth the winning time for seven furlongs, jocky Halladine with one of two wins on the card. Also Saturday a big clash in the Lady Geeta trophy race between the impressive racers Desert of Malibu and Mahogany both odds on in the betting, but radish Roman aboard Desert Malibu here impedes Mahogany's inside challenge forcing Ryan Lewis to pull his mount from the squeeze. Desert Malibu passed the post in front over the fast closing a gift from Ben but following a stewards inquiry and jocky's objection Desert of Malibu disqualified and placed third behind Mahogany, a gift from Ben at 11-to-one promoted to the winners spot ahead of Mahogany for jocky Ramon Napier owner's DSTL and associates and trainer Fitzgerald Richards. Two Barbados now where trainer Jean Marcosier had a strong hand in Saturday's feature Gordon Lewis Memorial. He swept last year's event with Ziko winning ahead of Zahid and So Swab in a one, two, three finish. Zahid and So Swab back to Sierra's fans at entries. But in this five-horse deal there was also the fairly accomplished Renaissance frolic from the barn of champion trainer Andrew Buschanunis, a multiple stakes winner in the USA whose two Barbados wins late last year came over this 7.8 for a long trip and as Dean Springer picks up the call mid-race it's the reigning Sander Lane Spass sprint champion Zahid, the two-to-one third favorite with top jocky Ricky Walcott setting the pace as they're around the far turn and head up the hill towards the three-follow marker and it's a dual up front Zahid, three parts of a length up on master rule, Renaissance frolic a length away on his outside journey with a blade weight so So Swab still has all the others to pass after a half-minute 49-93 he's got just about 25 seconds to do it as they come towards the quarter pole and Zahid has dismissed master rule but he's gonna have no coming out in Renaissance frolic so Jimmy's run is flattened out so So Swab has just gone and by master rule and into the stretch to come. It's Zahid on the middle of the course on the outside here is Renaissance frolic. It's Zahid on Renaissance frolic. Zahid from Renaissance frolic. So Swab from Lee home and on the outside Renaissance frolic and Zahid so Swab with one dashed urge. With a strong finish on the outside a well-measured ride here by Ray Williams who was the 2017 sovereign award winner as Canada's leading apprentice jocky for his exploits at Northland Spark and Central Downs in Alberta. Sir David Seals, Renaissance frolic third in February's Coulmore and seventh in the Sander Lane Gold Cup but rebounding here for the win. A third victory from eight starts in Barbados after that 11 wins in the USA making it 14 lifetime victories so far. The Andrew Nunes train Renaissance frolic, a one-length winner of the Gordon Lewis Memorial Handicap at 9 to 5 odds. The joint favorite with So Swab who finished well for second. Zahid fading to third 136.60 the winning time for 7.8 furlongs for trainer Andrew Nunes. And finally the grand national in Aintree England labeled Thorbett Racing's most famous steeper chase. It was live on Sportsmax Saturday morning. 32 starters, 30 fences and a massive disappointment early as the defending champion Korak Rambler unseated his rider at the first fence. Coming off the final jump, history-making female jocky Rachel Blackmore in the Red Silks and Stripe Cap who won the 2021 edition threatened to bore the 28 to 1 shot Minnella Indo before I am Maximus challenged with his winning run. A proud moment for jocky Paul Townan who wins the one million pound grand national for the first time. I am Maximus at 7 to 1 wins by a widening seven and a half lengths over Delta work for trainer now two-time winner Willie Mullins talking nine minutes 27.68 seconds for the four and a quarter mile run on the Aintree turf. Our usual weakly tally of Caribbean wins in the USA before we go in the past week since our last show have counted 14 victories among them the Jamaican jocky Romero Ramsey Mirage who had two wins at Aqueduct where the Jamaican trainer Charlton Baker and the Guyanese trainer Lolita Shivmangal also won. There were two wins at Laurel Park for the Jamaican trainer Samuel Davis and top Barbadian jocky Patrick Husbands had a win at Gulfstream Park as he tunes up for the new season at Canada's Woodbine Race Track starting later this month. We've been at the track covering top stories and exciting races in the sport of Kings. Check us out again next week.


What's up guys, so I'm hanging out with the content legend himself, Albi. Hi Albi. Mambo. Mkopo kwa jen? Mkopo ayu? You're looking nice. You're looking amazing. Thank you. So Albi, first of all, have you been nominated in any category here? Yeah, I actually just found out one hour ago. Oh my God, Albi, you cannot be serious. I'm actually serious. Like my friend Mohalisha, he called me and he was like, you have to come here. Yeah, I was on my way somewhere else. Yeah, so I don't know what's happening but I hope everything's going to be amazing. So Albi, the last time I checked ya, you've been doing amazing content twice. But there was a story to it. You've been getting, you know, people suing you and also how's that going on right now? So far so good. The legal team is handling it well. The case is still going on but we have confidence on our side. Yeah.  And someone in the government will say, you know, TikTok needs to be regulated. What's your thoughts on that? Have you been in TikTok at 3 a.m. and see what happens inside there? Okay, lately my TikTok is different because if I go online at 3 a.m., I'll just see breakup posts. But my view on the whole thing is, I think Kenya needs to start getting modern in terms of the parliament. Like we're already more than out here and our minds already civilized right now to the 21st century. Like okay, there is the bad side of TikTok but the good side outweighs the bad side. So just because one or two people might try to strip on TikTok doesn't mean you put down the whole app. You know, just, I don't know, just bring in some sort of regulations where these things can be stopped or limited. But for us who are doing good things on TikTok, I don't see it fair for us to be shut down like that. Alright, so as we see on Instagram, TikTok, everywhere, you do amazing content, you create smiles to people. And you know, we're just curious, is there someone who makes you smile? Like, is Albi seeing someone? No, I got dumped 2 months ago. 5-year relationship went down the road. So for now, I make myself smile. Alright, if you're single, Albi is definitely looking for you. Albi, are you getting a nomination as a content creator barely 2 years in the game? What does that mean for you? For me, that shows that I'm growing well and it shows that I'm hitting goals that I wanted to hit. So it's motivating. It makes me just want to go out and do more. Alright, I was speaking to Albi so we're going to see whether he's going to scoop the award but I feel that he's definitely going to win it. My name is Liz Jackson. See you on the next one.


As Ravens fans, I feel like so much of us are medical doctors and we unfortunately have our PhDs, our pretty hurt degrees when it comes to assessing injuries on our team and other times really throughout the league because we've seen so many Ravens players go down due to being hurt. But this year, it has been a lot different because this year, as opposed to previous years, while the Baltimore Ravens have lost a lot of guys and they have unfortunately lost a lot of guys for the entire season. A lot of the guys that they lost at some point and different points of the season, they ended up coming back. And yesterday, we got some wonderful phenomenal news about some of the Baltimore Ravens key players that returned to practice for those Baltimore Ravens. And we're gonna talk about that in a little bit, but just to emphasize how important it was those guys and how great and significant it was with those guys returning, I couldn't do it on my own. I had to bring on a phenomenal guess that can help me determine just the value of these players that the Ravens got back. Team Keep It Clean, let's get into it. So Team Keep It Clean, very, very special guest, special coach in the building for this video today. We got Sip to Tally, Coach Evans. It's been a minute, been a minute since we had you on but better late than never. So welcome back to the channel. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day and literally like last minute too, cause I literally hit you up a couple of hours ago to see if you could come on and you say, yeah, you gave me the time and boom, we're not that out right now. So I appreciate you and I appreciate your time, coach. No problem, no problem. Like you said, better late than never and never late is better. But with that CPT time, I'm late forever but it's all good, man. So Team Keep It Clean, before we get into this, make sure you subscribe to his channel. The link is down below in the description. Subscribe to his channel. A lot of y'all are here already from his channel but subscribe to his channel. Y'all know Coach, you good people. Leave a like on all his videos. Hit them up, watch his videos on repeat. Show that love like I know y'all would do. Oh yeah, for sure, man. And the link to all his stuff, his YouTube channel, both his YouTube channels, the one for Ravens fans and also the one for the streets. For the streets, right. And also the link to his Twitter, it's all gonna be down below in the description. So we got yesterday, we got some really, really good news. Actually great news, actually it's wonderful news because Zay Flowers, he has had a huge impact on these Baltimore Ravens from, literally from jump. Like I remember when the Baltimore Ravens, when they first drafted Zay Flowers, I don't watch college football so I didn't know much about him. I didn't know he was from South Florida. So like, okay, he got my vote right there but when we had heard so much about him, I heard how shifty he was, how crazy he was after the catch. So we started seeing the joint practices. So the joint practices, no first, actually before the joint practices, when he was practicing against the Ravens, heard so much stuff about Zay Flowers. Oh man, he beaten all these cornerbacks. He's the best wide receiver on the field. I was thinking like, okay, like I know Ravens, they gonna hype up their own guys because that's their guy, that's their first round draft pick or whatever. Odell Beckham Jr. had just got there so I wouldn't think he would go that hard especially since he was recovering from injury. Rashad Bateman, he was probably doing his thing. No, maybe he was hurt that day. He was still hurt. Okay, that's what it was. So I was like, okay, was Zay Flowers being the best wide receiver on the field? Is it really saying that much? So I heard that but then we heard for the joint practices and we saw it too, we saw the video. And Zay Flowers was just, he was getting everybody. I'm like, man, okay, well, this is something. Then pre-season came along and he was still killing it then. I'm like, oh my goodness. And then I remember the first time we saw him, I think it was in the Washington game, whatever it was, it was against the Eagles, whoever it was against, he scored a touchdown. And I said, no, no, we don't need to see him no more. He need to be done till regular season. And then regular season came along and everything just continued for Zay Flowers. The man has been extremely consistent and everything, all the stuff that we had heard from Jump, he's shown it on a professional level in the regular season too. So with Zay Flowers returning to practice for the Baltimore Ravens, what type of impact? Because, I mean, it's obvious that he has a big impact on his team, but what specifically about Zay Flowers and going into this game against the Houston Texans, how can the Baltimore Ravens benefit from having him back? Well, I was gonna say one thing before I answer that question. Okay. Brent Coleman told a story way before even all that, that you just mentioned at the, whatever the all-star game was that Zay Flowers participated in. He said, because he went, you know, Brent got access to the stuff that we don't. He went and he said that the Ravens were over, Zay Flowers from the jump. They told him at that, I'm gonna say the Shrine Bowl, I think it was the Shrine Bowl. They told him at the Shrine Bowl, if you're there, we're picking. They had been on him from the jump and they just didn't think he was gonna be there, but luckily he was there and they saw something from the jump that, like you said, I didn't know you, I didn't know you from South Florida. I knew of him, you know, when I started doing the draft stuff, but I didn't know much about him until I heard that story. Then we picked him in, you know, my knowledge of him kind of picked up. But as far as him, his return, he's the most versatile receiver we got to me. He can play inside, he can play outside. He's the shiftiest receiver we got. He just, he brings so much to the table because if you put a bigger coin on him, he has the twitchiness to not be covered by that guy. But then he's fast enough and shifting up and runs good enough routes. And he's tough enough that if you got a smaller shiftier corner, he can beat those guys. And you put him in the backfield, do different stuff with him. He could also be your gadget guy. He's just, he's so versatile that you need him on the field to, not even to get him the ball, but you gotta know where he is because he can do so many things that opens up stuff for other people. That's such a good point too, about Zay Flows and his versatility. One of my favorite characteristics that you just mentioned about Zay Flows was his toughness, or is his toughness. We've seen it a lot of times throughout this season where Zay Flows, he don't shy away from contact and Zay Flows is not afraid to throw no block either.  He might be the best blocker receiver we got. Might be, next to 16, next to, what's that? Tyler Wallace. Tyler Wallace, yeah. Oh. Because he, anytime we see a long run by the running back, all those long keeping mids and runs, you saw Zay Flows. You saw Zay Flows. I never thought about that before, man. That's a really good point. So having Zay Flows back is just, it's crucial, man. It's crucial and I'm glad that he got to get a good amount of rest, because the rest obviously paid off. Now I wonder, and it's something that we'll obviously never know, and I'm glad we don't have to find out about it, but I wonder, had the Baltimore Ravens had to play in a wild called weekend? Well, super wild called weekend, that's what they call it now. Would Zay Flows have played in the game, not if they had to play back then, but. That's a good question. That's a good question. Because with that calf, that calf is so, is so particular, because anytime I hear calf, I immediately think of Katie. Katie had the calf strain and he thought it was fine. And he said, well, I'm gonna go ahead and play this game. Bam, Achilles. So anytime I hear calf, I think Katie and I like, you don't play with that calf, but that can go from a two week thing to three, six to five. So, you know, I probably not, I would say no. I would say no if we played last week, because just was, well, no he didn't, because he didn't play versus Stiller did it. No, he didn't. So he probably could have played, he probably could have played last week, because he took that week off. So he probably should be close to a hundred, depending on what type of actual calf injury it is, because all I know is just calf. I don't know if like calf strain, like a brumbrews or whatever. I just know calf. So he probably could have played if we had had a game last week, because of already having that week off. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that we don't even have to, like we could think about it and think about all the hypotheticals and whatnot, but I'm glad that we ain't even gotta realistically think about if he had to play last week, since the Baltimore Ravens got their number one C. Now, speaking of number one, wonder Baltimore Ravens first round draft picks from a couple of years ago, he also returned to practice that being Adafi away. And Adafi away, man, he's been very, very tricky. He's had a very tricky career, because I feel like he was drafted based off of the potential. And obviously a lot of guys are drafted based off of potential about how the team feels like you could do what you can do for them over the long run. But with Adafi away, it just seemed like it was more of his athleticism that got him to be in the first round draft pick for the Baltimore Ravens, because he was not productive like that in college, in the States. Yeah. So that's, and then I know that that was a line for a lot of people. It was like, hold up, you're drafting a pass rusher with the number one, with the first round pick, but he hasn't had any sex. But again, sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story. Right, right. But they do tell a part of it. But with Adafi away this year, earlier this season, he had missed a chunk of time. And then when he came back, he came back in, I feel like he was just on the tail. We saw like a completely different Adafi away. Now, recently, I feel like he quieted down a little bit. Maybe I'm just missing something. Cause again, you know that the film much more than I do. But I feel like he got a little bit quiet, but he missed some time, but he returned to practice as well. So from Adafi away, what can he bring to this Baltimore Ravens defense? Now we haven't gotten a lot. And I'm like, like, I didn't like to pick a niche, but you know, the Adafi away or the first two seasons, to me it's not the Adafi away of 2023. Well, 2020, yeah, 2023. He looks like a totally different person. Now he only has, I think four and a half, maybe five sacks. But as far as the way he looks on the field, he doesn't look like that, that old, do he looks totally that he's like, he says that he was already decent against the run. But now he's getting to, he's beating the, the tackles in a, in a way where he wasn't before. Cause in the past, all he had was like that one move. Now you can see him put moves together. You see him trying to do the jump cross. You see him spinning off people. You see him trying to beat people with rush, with rush moves, speed to power. So getting with the defense of the Austin, I'm sorry, the offense outside linebacker's coach, Chuck, I've got a admiration for this guy that I didn't know who he was before he got here. But what he's done for Oway and some of those other guys, because Oway had one move. And now he has, he has the, a public plastic bag. He ain't got the brown paper bag of moves yet. He got a public plastic bag yet of moves right now. He ain't upgraded the brown paper bag, but at least he got something in it. But, and he was already decent versus the run, but having him out there gives more versatility to a defensive line that has already surprised me this year. They, they went well above and beyond my expectations. And I hope they continue to, to do that. But he's just an extra piece to that puzzle because Mike got him rolling and Chuck got him, you know, doing what they need to do in, in the past rush. And he was already a decent run stopper. And speaking about run stoppers, just to, to transition to somebody else that returned to practice as well. I owes Malik Harrison and Malik Harrison, his career has been, it's been interesting because I remember when the Baltimore Ravens first drafted him, I want to say in 2020, because I think he came out with Patrick Queen. He did. He was fourth round pick, I want to say, but whatever he was drafted at, yeah. I thought that, because I really envisioned that it was going to be him and Patrick Queen as the primary inside linebackers of the future for the Baltimore Ravens. And it obviously didn't work out like that, but Malik Harrison has definitely found himself a respectable role on this Baltimore Ravens defense and on special teams as well. But he was somebody else that was added to the list of guys that returned to practice. So with Malik Harrison, how do you feel like him being back on the field for the Ravens could help them out? Malik, Malik's role is interesting. Like you said, he, he was drafted as like a off ball linebacker kind of in what we thought, well, what we haven't wrote on, I think that's what we thought position wise, not play wise, position wise. That's what I thought we was going to get in Malik. But now he's pretty much transitioned to a first, second down outside linebacker. And I think he is the best edge setter on the team as far as, you know, in those run situations, you know, first and 10 or maybe some kind of second and short, maybe he does a good job of setting the edge and forcing stuff back to the inside, the Queen and Roque one. And, and if he's not the best one, I always may be the best one, but having him and away back, you can kind of set your, your defense and funnel stuff to the middle of the defense to those defensive tackles and to Queen and Roque one. Now, I didn't think Malik would have a role, especially once we got a Roque one, but he didn't find a niche and his niche is being that first down outside linebacker slash edge guy. And if we stop him on first down, use your Malik running off the field because he come to pass rushes.  So if, in order for him to stay, then he's going to have to develop some pass rush moves. Now he may have some, we just don't see him because he's not out there on passing downs, but he's a, he's a great edge setter. He's great versus the run. He does a good job of taking on blockers, like when they pulling pull, or when they pull or they send full back setting, his physicality, and we already knew he was physical from that Tennessee Titans game a couple of years ago. So his physicality plus learning that new position, he's done a great job of setting the edge. And I think it's going to be good to keep them behind the sticks. Yeah, that's true.  So that's a really, really good point. Now, we're going to go off track a little bit right here, but I know for you, for you, this will be right on track because there's this one player on the Baltimore Ravens. A lot of people, they just had not been a fan of him for a long time, but over the past year and a half, I think a lot of people's tune has changed on him, that being Patrick Queen. How do you feel about just the emergence of Patrick Queen, the success of Patrick Queen, all pro second team, Patrick Queen, because while it wasn't the first team, all pro, second team, all pro is still amazing because that is still some of the best of the, because again, every team got what 53 players on it, they still got practice squad guys and there's 32 teams in the league. That's a lot of people. I don't feel like doing the math right now, but that's a whole lot of players. And for you to be considered one of the best of the best, even if it's second team, that says a lot. And I know you are somebody who has said a lot about Patrick Queen. So how are you feeling about just his emergence and his success and what he's done, especially over the past two years with the Baltimore labels? I think this is my opportunity to say, I told you.  And not you in particular, but just the masses, the masses. I always, whenever he does something good, I kind of go back to, I got a, I took a screenshot of, he did something and I was telling people to be quiet. That's my PQ thing. If you look at my Twitter, that's the little caption. A PQ stand, but I'm excited for the fellow man. I hate that he potentially may finish his career somewhere else because he's really priced himself out. Now, I knew he was pretty much gone, but to get that all pro, that means that boy couldn't break the bank. That couldn't break the bank. I think it was three on the first team. I think it was two on the second team. So that means he's one of the best five linebackers in the NFL. One of the best five.  Like if you make this, you might get this bonus. You know, his incentives or whatnot. So for him to gradually become that has been great to see, especially for me because I was defending them before Roe even got here. I was like, just, just give it time. Cause people, what people don't know is he came to LSU as a running man. Oh, I ain't doing that. Then his last year, he wasn't even a starter that last year. He was behind the some backup linebacker that's in Cleveland right now. So he took over as the starter like game two. And then, which was his second year playing linebacker. And so when he got to Baltimore, that was his third or fourth year playing linebacker. Period, period. So it took him a minute to kind of, and he still ain't perfect. He had a lot better than he was when he got here. Now, some people will attribute Roekwon. That's the Roekwon. I had to push back on that. Roekwon does have some effect, but the kid was playing well before Roekwon got here. Was he at an all pro level? Probably not. Probably not. But he was playing some pretty darn good football before Roekwon got here. And then Roekwon got here and provided leadership for the entire defense and not just him, it took off. Yeah, it took off. And it's been, it's been really, really nice to see. I was pleasantly surprised this off season because I remember when they first traded for Roekwon Smith, I was like, oh yeah, Patrick Queen is gone. But my hope was that, all right, Patrick Queen got another year left on his deal. Hopefully they can ride this thing out even though I know Baltimore Ravens, they like trading people when they're in the last year to deal if they don't intend on resigning them because they want to get something rather than nothing. But I was hoping that they would make an exception for Patrick Queen because we've seen it in the past with guys like Hayden Hurst. They weren't going to resign him. They shipped him off Orlando Brown, Jr. They weren't going to resign him. They shipped him off Hollywood Brown. They weren't going to resign him. They shipped them off. So I was really hoping that it would not happen with Patrick Queen. And I'm so glad that they kept him. There's a very small chance. I don't think it's going to happen.  That's on his resume. And he's going to, just him and his agent, they're going to talk to the Costa and I just, because I think their priority is going to be resigning Madabique. I think they really want to keep Patrick Queen.   Is this tough? Right. Yeah, you can't disrespect him, man. You can't get, because the only way that he could, in my opinion, the only way that he could stay with the Baltimore Ravens is if he signs for a disrespectfully low deal. And I would hate to see him do that. I would hate to see anybody do that. I agree. But especially with everything that he's been through. Like, I remember, I love that video of Eric Dacasa telling him, like, hey, you made, was it the Pro Bowl, I think? Yeah, you made the Pro Bowl. And he broke down. Yeah. That was real right there, man. So just. I missed my opportunity to chat with PQ this year. I got a good friend of mine that's, he knows Derek Stingley's dad. So Derek Stingley put on this camp in Hawaii this summer.  And so this friend of mine, he was one of the coaches of that camp. And he knows about my channel and whatnot and how I feel about Patrick Queen that we've had in conversations. And so he facetimed me this summer. But because Hawaii is so far behind us, I was. I was. So I missed that opportunity to chat with him and whatnot. And you know, I was going to ask him to come on. Yeah, for sure, man. You know what? One thing that I've learned, because that's it, literally the same exact thing happened to me back in 2018 to where one of my guys, he worked at a hotel down here where the Baltimore Ravens were staying at. And he knew it was right when we drafted Lamar Jackson. Well, the year we drafted Lamar Jackson, he was working at a hotel where the Ravens were staying at that year for, I think, a pre-season game. Maybe they took on the Dolphins. Because, yeah, RG3 was hit at your ear. So he hit me up on FaceTime, literally the same exact thing. Hit me up on FaceTime. Lamar Jackson standing right next to him. But I always leave my phone on loud. But I was taking a nap. I was so tired. And I put my phone on silent. And I wake up. See FaceTime, Mrs. FaceTime called me. Well, OK, what he FaceTime me for? So I called him back and he told me. But one thing that I learned is that, even if you miss an opportunity initially, if it's meant to happen, it's going to happen. It's going to come back around again somehow, someway. And you're definitely going to get that opportunity again. So I will not be surprised when you do have Patrick Queen on your channel. So you could talk to all of them. Manifest. So yeah, I ain't going to be surprised when it does happen. Not if, but when it does go down. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that. That should be fun, man, because just being able to hear the players, it's fun hearing each other speak about the Baltimore Ravens and whatnot. But then getting that view and that just being able to hear the players speak about what they go through, everything that happens on the field. And even off the field, too, that's special as well. So coach, I appreciate you. This was real fun. This was a real show. Oh yeah, for sure. I appreciate your time. Appreciate your willingness to come on. And again, everybody that's watching team, keep it clean. Go show my guy love. I know a lot of y'all already do. But go show him even more love if you new here, if you old here, go show him love. Subscribe to his channel. The link is all down below in the description. It's Twitter all down below in the description. Everything all down below in a description just to make life easy for you. Any closing words, coach, before we get out of here? On Instagram, you can find me on TikTok. You can find me at Sip the Tally Films, Twitter, Coach Evans Nine, YouTube, Sip the Tally, and more Sip the Tally. Running numbers up. And I appreciate you for having me on, man. It's always good to talk about. For sure, man. Appreciate your team. Keep it clean. I love y'all. Thanks for everything. And we out.


It's well known now that engagement in online environments is a very important goal. Students that aren't engaged while they're learning online will tend to drop out. Most of the, from my knowledge, the massive open online courses that are out there have a completion rate of about less than 5%. So engagement is one way to increase that, to have students follow through. If I'm teaching face to face with students, there's an expectation that I will lecture and that they will take notes and from those notes they will study and from that studying they'll pass their exams. The problem with that model is that there's such a dependence on the instructor and you can flip the classroom and do all those other kind of pedagogically wonderful things even if the names are stupid. You can do all of that. But the student is still focused on the instructor. While I'm not lecturing in an online course, I don't have that 3 hour chunk each week that I'm doing that, I can now use that time to interact with my learners. The other aspect is in terms of making sure that your learners know that they can communicate with each other with the teaching assistants if there are those resources available. But a key part is make sure that your learners know that they can interact with each other. Provide them the mechanism, the tools and the environment where they feel that they can share and ask questions from each other. And so you're empowering your learners to help each other. Given that you're not seeing students face to face, you're not having the same kinds of interactions, you need to really design those things in. So I think developing the skills and abilities to engage students in an online format so whether that's via online discussions or activities, etc. is really important. Thinking about how to give effective feedback, because again in a face to face setting we have body language and visual cues and words that all help us to communicate to students how they're doing in an online course. We really only have some limited options there, so we can provide written feedback to them and engage them that way. We can provide audio feedback to them, which I really like in some settings, particularly when I'm saying get on track. And I like to use e-portfolios in my classes as well, because again I can provide comments to the students and engage them in meaningful learning that makes sense to them, so they get to make connections between what they're doing. So I think there's a whole variety of skills there that really have to do with how you engage the students and how you communicate expectations to them clearly and then provide feedback throughout the online course. To increase student engagement in online education in online communities and participating in these different forums, I've found that the thing that works best for me is to really work hard at tearing down the screen between me and the students to make the students realize that I'm a real person too and that they are real people to me as well. So there's a lot of legwork on my part that I try to get to know the students to a degree so that I can always be addressing them with something that is personal so that they are not the nameless, faceless mass. In the early going I have to be engaging with them a lot. The first two or three or four, the first month of class the engagement is almost non-stop. So I mean anyone who thinks you just load it up there and let it go and it'll run itself, I have found that no. You can get students out into groups there's breakout room tools and you can task them to do various things and they're on the internet so tasking them to do stuff is great. You can ask them to go out to Medline and find evidence for a question you post to them. You can ask them to go out and find a video or something that might support a teaching topic that you are discussing and then they can bring back and present that to the rest of the class. They can take over the class and teach each other all live and online and those are fantastic engagement strategies. Asynchronously with pre-recorded online lectures that's where I think the design and production values come in production techniques come in. So for instance you might have quizzes and questioning spaced through your tutorial or your lecture. You might have, you could have tasks where students have to go and find some piece of information and come back and answer a red question before they can continue. So those are ways to engage and if you can provide discussion boards or opportunities to chat as close to live as possible I think that really helps with courses. My role is not to go and gather this information. The information is already available online. So this means no sit down in the classroom and watch a movie together. It means showing them the internet link for that movie, working out a note-taking sheet for them that then they could bring to class afterwards after watching the movie. That means go and explore and critique two existing websites for instance and come back to the classroom with your notes and we will discuss it in the classroom. It means for me as the teacher to make sense of the information. So to draw concepts, to focus on the overarching themes but not on the actual pieces of information they can access to online. It means no for instance classroom trip to the library but an activity designed to help them use better the online library. It means not necessarily a debate in the classroom where shy people won't speak and a young mother with a child can't come on that day and miss the whole discussion. It's having this unsynchronic discussion online for instance that could be extremely rigorous following a very clear rubric that would permit even students that could not be in the classroom to have sophisticated discussion. So there are many, many ways one could think of blended teaching and take the most important or the most valid aspects of teaching in both words and bring them to the classroom.


Now we're going to introduce two concepts called vectors and scalars. They're very closely related. So understanding the difference between these two is very important in physics. So if I look at these two quantities, they're both the description of a physical quantity, but some physical quantities, what we care about is how much of that quantity do I have. Other ones, what I care about is how much and which way. So the big difference here between scalars and vectors is what do I care about? Is it just how much or is it how much and which way? Now the how much part which both scalars and vectors have, we call the magnitude. The which way is the direction. So when we talk about vectors, we want to specify both the magnitude and the direction or how much and which way. If I've got a scalar, I really only care about the how much part. Now it's a vector. One of the ways we can describe this is using some sort of an arrow. It's a really common method of doing this and in this case, how long the arrow is is supposed to represent how much you have or your magnitude and of course, the direction is represented by which way the arrow points. To really understand this, let's give you some practical examples. Let's start with mass. I can very easily talk about how much mass do I have, but if I'm talking about how much mass does that bowling ball have, there's no direction associated with that. It's not, it's got 10 kilograms up. It's just got 10 kilograms. There's no direction involved with mass. So mass is always a scalar quantity. Now if I talk about distance, I can talk about that in a scalar sense, too. And let me give you an example here. Let's say the doctor tells you you need to walk a mile each day to be healthy. All he cares about is how far you're walking or how much distance you're walking, not which direction. He doesn't care about the direction, so distance in this sense is only a scalar quantity. Now very closely related to distance is our concept of position. But position, I do care which direction I'm in. If I'm going to tell my friend, hey, can you come pick me up, I'm 10 miles away, you better also tell them which direction you are. Otherwise they're not going to be able to find you. So here in this case, which direction is just as important as how far if you're describing your position relative to some reference point. Another example of a vector is force. Force is the pusher pull on an object. And practically speaking, yes, it matters very much how much force you use, how hard you push. But it also varies very much matters which direction I'm pushing it. You're going to get very different effects depending on which direction you push it. So that's an example where I have to care about the magnitude and the direction. So as we move through physics, you want to keep track of these differences between what's a vector and what's a scalar. In some problems, I only have to care about how much. But in other problems, I have to keep track of how much and which direction. And those are the vectors.


Hi, good morning, and welcome to these products in focus. You can see that the US 30 there is once again hit an all-time record high Same as the SPX 500 as we break above 17, 8, 95 and now we're kind of into uncharted territory This will be acting as a new potential support Adding as a potential springboard For the US 30 to make its next move as non-barm payrolls is due tomorrow I think a lot of the US macro data is quite buoyant and most markets are doing relatively well this morning I've ever look at the UK 100 Obviously it came off a little bit yesterday drifting a little bit lower today a failure to break through potential resistance at 67 71 As ever the technicals are are massively overbought if we do get the drift the next potential support is at 66 86 So Japan 225 is really getting a nice shot on the arm on the back of the potential further stimulus the fact that Shinzo Abe is likely to have a very good presidential election or primary premier election Then that comes back up that the the polls are looking quite positive for for his party and Doll again is just I hear his breath away from hitting 120 and in fact if I look at one of my one of my other charts, it was very very close Maybe missing it by about 15 pips, but we'll come back to that in just a second But nevertheless in the middle of two ranges right now next potential support a resistance or is at 18 306 New potential support is this broken resistance here at 17496 So will dollar yen break 120? Well, it kind of feels like when there's a target like that It's only a matter of time before it does the actual next potential resistance as you guys know from us talking about this is 124 spot 42 there is a decent bit of upside right here with the new potential Support being the broken resistance at 119. I just remember if we get in here too quick Be careful of banking intervention by the Bank of Japan something likely to happen, but There has been a few whispers out there basically saying that the yen is depreciation depreciating too quickly Which makes a lot of their their core imports that are a bit more expensive But as oil prices and commodity prices have been absolutely tumbling perhaps slightly less of an issue But do just be aware that there could be dangers of that happening in the Bank of Japan does sometimes do this This looks like to be a clean technical breakout the longer-term potential resistance 124 spot 42 So moving on to crude oil West Texas And again going on to daily interval. There has been a lot of volatility crude elementaries on Tuesday the AI AI numbers came out slightly worse than expected But that still caused a little bit of drift there We're in a little bit of positive territory today But it probably won't last looking at the tips of these candles psychologically standing This isn't looking to be that bullish as I know that we're going to read challenge 70 spot 41 But we are in the middle of two ranges. We're not showing conviction either direction right now But obviously the pressure is on the downside. So 64 dollars is an X potential 64 64 dollars as an X potential support level So gold's probably come off a little bit today had a bit of a bounce yesterday to be honest this does feel like it's Looking at the candlestick pattern right here might rechallenge 2018 But the fundamentals are not in its favor stronger us the higher chance of early rate hike in the u.s Should be adding lots of pressure onto gold. It's not coming off a sharp place. I might have expected actually which is Maybe a telling sign, but 1218 is a potential resistance if you're breaking clothes above that then that can change things a little bit Filling that drift towards 18 1186 might be on the cards So finishing up with the major FX pairs So you've got your dollar finally broke 123 67, which is decent if you're a technical trader It's a nice clean technical break watch for any retracement back up to the broken support longer term potential resistance one spot 20 47 and with the ECB meeting again very shortly to discuss the potential Stimulus measure might not come today in fact, but they might lay out the foundations for stimulus next year They might shock the market you never know But certainly the fundamentals are static against your dollar And as long as one spot 2367 isn't broken on the upside This should be seen as a new resistance and this could be your next potential support level with many of the technicals still currently in Neutral territory there is further. This could still go so looking at GBP USD Not the clean break that your dollar has fundamental obviously we had the autumn statement yesterday UK doing okay Apparently with the fastest growing economy And the eurozone eurozone that wouldn't be that tough instantly since most of those countries are really struggling right now But UK seems to be doing a lot better growth at 3% But we've not had a massive technical break out to the upside so probably sideways moving Markets on GBP USD for that well, we're still cut up in this downward trend line. So not as exciting as your dollar or dollar yen We're probably most effect traders are looking today. So economic data wise. You do have the UK industry announcement That's going to be an event Then you've got unemployment claims in the US at 130 which should be okay And you've got natural gas which if you're trading natural gas will be quite useful That's something we don't normally cover in these sessions and the fast forward on to Friday We do of course have non-farm payrolls And unemployment and average earnings massive massive day as ever make sure you've got your alert set on that And we do actually have a webinar So you guys can go to support and then go to live trader events and sign up to our live non-farm payrolls webinar very popular with our clients and As ever keep your eye on the chart form make insights party late going forward and join me again tomorrow to find out what happened next


Yeah, I thought yeah this part was the better Then just kind of shimmy down. Yeah, you're fine. Yeah. Yeah, I want that way Yeah, we're gonna let these people Go Chris Yeah, go for it.

Hello! Nice to see you. Oh look and ties here as well. Controversial Amy your influence is spreading far and wide look Everywhere just want to say hello. I got a lot of props here. I got my alarm clock. I've got my diary. I've got my 100% pure silk mask. I've got my pineapple shorts. What do you reckon? Oh sure. What do you got over here? Just doing a little sitting over here Well, this is like a fashion shoot Yeah Shauna's rocking it. What else you got trying on the swanis? Yeah. Oh, that's a good look You've got like the quadruple play going on there Seven ways you can reduce your stress and anxiety and get more energy throughout the day I'm here with Shauna Felicia from soul wellness method tip number one Drink lots of water one pound of one ounce of water to every pound of body weight And the best way to do it is to have a liter of water next to your bed Drink a liter of water when you wake up in the morning I like to put visual cues around my home as well have like big empty glass jars So when I see it, I know to like fill it with water and drink it Morning sunlight really important to control your sleep your circadian rhythm I like to come out in the morning and like just let the light hit me and that is gonna Ironically help me sleep at night because it's telling my body. Okay.  Salads are going to make your body so happy.  Thank you. Are you sure I can't have a big juicy steak You can have that but make sure you have a huge side of greens and that your meat is just like a little side Okay, great. Thank you. I thought you're gonna make me Crossfed. Yes, for sure. I like to ride my bicycle Around Venice. I live in Venice Beach at the moment. I got my bicycle. I'm gonna show you in a second But just riding my bicycle around gets me out in nature and exploring things So it could be running. It could be going for a swim It's just getting out and doing some kind of exercise while you're out and about so all I really like that reduces my stress I love that. Yeah Setting boundaries and giving yourself me time is really big even if it's a half hour every single day Maybe you're staying off the phone in the morning. Maybe when you get home from work You put your phone down you go for a walk with no music no phone or maybe it's bath time But you'll see how much that really energizes you and helps you shake off the day. Yeah I like to write 20 things. I'm grateful for every single morning. In fact, I have my My diary here and I write 20 things see my 20 things are 20 things that I write every single morning And I have a rule that I'm not allowed to turn my phone on in the morning until I've written my 20 things That I'm grateful for and I have a portable alarm clock now, which wakes me up I don't have the alarm be in my phone because if the alarm in my phone goes off Then guess what I'm doing? I'm touching my phone, which means I'm all likely to start going into my phone and checking email and Instagram and Facebook I want to hear the world's most annoying sound This is definitely alarm clock you want to wake up to I'm telling you you don't want your phone you want this that is true How does it sound it sounds like? Chinese water torture So now I wake up to this I'm not allowed to touch my phone or switch it back out of Airplane mode which I would have done the night before until I've written 20 things I'm grateful for all the studies show that if you just write down what you're grateful for Your stress and anxiety falls away and your happiness level increases and you approach the world very differently. Yeah big time What else you got? What are we on? Well? I don't know. We've already done a lot I like meditation. There's a meditation place called ceremony on Rose Avenue in Venice I have a love-hate relationship with meditation when I do it I love it, but I hate to do it. Does that make sense? I totally get it It's like you don't want to go there, but once you're there, you're very happy. Yeah. Yes, and if you're on the east side I love dead meditation The inside of LA Well, I live in Hancock Park, so it's over there So if you're watching us with we're talking very Los Angeles talk here at the moment But someone's watching us in Romania and in Australia sleep Well, obviously we're a pair of blue light blocking glasses.

Oh, you've got the cat eye there. Wow. Look at that There's some sounds of children going on here. So cool So if you wear these glasses in the last hour before you go to sleep the orange lens blocks the artificial blue light There's a there's something going on this kids. It's Lord of the Flies here at my place in Venice But if you wear this orange lens, it'll block the artificial light that's coming out of your phone your electronics You can continue watching TV continue watching James Wanick's YouTube channel like you are now Got the glasses put them on quick put them on. There you go. Oh So good and that is gonna help you sleep better You remove them right before you want to go to sleep and you'll fall asleep quicker sleep deeper and wake up Feeling more refreshed which will make you happier have more energy and enable you to do the seven things Which could have been six the seven things that we just talked about, right? Yeah. All right All right. I like it. You want to see the view through the lens? Let's see if this works. Oh, can you see?
