Hey everybody, welcome back to another review from hocus-pocus.com. My name's David and this is the Hocus Pocus Deck. That's right, there's a Hocus Pocus Deck. Hocus Pocus is celebrating 40 years in the magic community and they're really super excited to introduce their 40th anniversary playing cards. You know, 40 years ago, Paul Gros started Hocus Pocus Magic and he grew it from a small corner shop into one of the largest family-owned and operated magic suppliers. Paul has equipped famous magicians and hobbyists alike with everything imaginable from stage props to coin shells, from head twisters to silk scarves, all while providing unparalleled customer service. Paul, along with his sons and family, continued to operate the business with the same enthusiasm and dedication to the customers that got them this far. And to honor the 40th year of their business, his sons, Max and Cole, sat down with renowned card designer, Ido Huang, to come up with a deck that would capture the heritage and feel of the company as well as appeal to all areas of the card community. All right, so if you look at the front of the tuck ace, you'll notice that it captures that vintage feel from 1976. You got that deep purple paired with sculpted gold. Harkens back to the days when stage magic utilized contrasting colors and flashy patterns to capture somebody's attention. You've got the rabbit ears and top hat logo that have been reimagined to give a more classic feel, while light and airy scrollwork provides a pattern without drawing attention away from all that bold typography. And I know you can't feel it, but the tuck case is printed on a really soft touch stock with deep penetrating colors of velvet, and it has a really classy look. One side of the tuck case is Hocus Pocus. The other side says designed in Indonesia. The bottom has some ad copy about Hocus Pocus and Ido Huang, and the back design, of course, is the back design of the cards. The larger tongue flap has a simple spade pip, and then the two inside tuck flaps have the initials of the creators. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. The back design on these cards is very classically inspired. There's a lot going on here, tons of complex imagery. You got that mirrored rabbit ears and top hat. They're positioned in a classic style to provide your eye with a familiar layout. The designers wanted to keep the back design light and incorporate a lot of that thin line scrolling to fill the space between the dotted and broken lined frames. You're going to have four pointed stars sprinkled out all through the design, and you're going to see them all over the place. So not only in the backs, but also in the card faces and the tuck and everything. And then of course you have that deep purple color, which I think is recognized everywhere as a color of royalty, magic, mystery. And then you have that beautiful gold tone, which is really an awesome color to strike against the purple and give it some contrast, which I think gives a very majestic and very classic feel to these cards. With this deck, you're going to get two extra gaff cards. You're going to get a double backer and a blank face card, which are great for magic tricks. Also with this deck, you're going to get two original jokers. It says Joker, very big, and then it has like stars sprinkled around. There's that top hat and the magic wand. And then there's two card reveals, a five of hearts and a six of spades. And so you might have noticed it in the Joker, and I'll show you again here in the Ace of Spades, but you're going to have those wavy lines that appear kind of like as a watermark, and you'll see that all throughout the faces of all the cards. So it doesn't matter if they're industry cards or court cards, you'll see that little wavy line effect going on back there. And it just kind of adds to just the mystery and the magic of this deck. I think it brings the whole deck up a notch and just kind of just creates another element and another layer of customization that really makes this deck stand out. The Ace of Spades has some gold stars above the spade pip, which has a lot of ornamentation in it. And then underneath that, it says Hocus Pocus, creating miracles since 1976. For the most part, your pips and indices are completely standard, and they'll be instantly recognizable, which makes them great for gameplay, magic, and cardistry. Your court cards are also going to appear standard. However, I think there is some customization in there. It felt to me like the King of Spades, the Queen of Diamonds, the Jack of Spades, and there was one other king. I think it was the King of Clubs that looked a little custom, like maybe they might be trying to be somebody else, but I think for the most part, it's going to fly right by a layperson they're not going to know. And then the coloring is all this beautiful purple and gold from the back design. All right, so that's pretty much everything I can say about the new 40th anniversary edition of the Hocus Pocus playing cards. Of course, I want to just give props to Max and Cole for putting together such a great deck. Edo did a wonderful job illustrating this. Who doesn't love Hocus Pocus?  Thanks, bye.


Okay, we're back live at Oracle OpenWorld. This is SiliconANGLE.TV's coverage where all the action is happening in tech in San Francisco, California for Oracle OpenWorld. Day three of our extended coverage, exclusive coverage, blanket coverage of Oracle OpenWorld. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com. This is theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events, extract the ceiling from the noise. I'm joined with my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante, wikibon.org, and our next guest is Jason Cotsoftis. Sorry, Cotsoftis. Who's with EMC. He is the director of strategic alliances. Jason's been on theCUBE a number of times. Jason, welcome back. Thank you. Good to be back. Yeah, good to see you. Another Oracle OpenWorld. Another one. My 15th in a row, I think. Really? Yes. Well, wow. You've seen the changes over the years. Let's start there. Talk about how this has evolved, and in particular, Oracle OpenWorld. We're going to talk about how this has evolved. In particular, Oracle's position in the marketplace. It's been amazing. In 96, when I first came to Oracle World, they were a software database company, hadn't even really gotten into apps, and EMC was a storage company. Now, if you look at today, the keynotes from Oracle this week, they've gone from software and apps into infrastructure. We've gone from hardware and storage up into software. It's an interesting example of how the industry is converging, and we're all building out complete infrastructure stacks today. Yeah. I mean, what's the relationship with Oracle? You wouldn't have been at a Sun conference 10 years ago. Right. But in essence, part of this is Sun, but what's the relationship with Oracle these days? It's great. There's obviously a co-operative with every most IT vendors today, and EMC and Oracle are no exception. What brings us back to Oracle World is really the fact that we have 70,000 customers together, and most of them are going to be here at the show, and they want to hear from EMC and Oracle as they run Oracle applications, middleware and database software on EMC infrastructure. How are we going to help them? How are we going to help them with the challenges they have and integration and support? So the relationship today is a balance of, in some areas, we do compete, but in other areas, we actually still do very good engineering together, and today, actually, we announced a good example of that around data integrity. We'll talk about that. What did you announce? Yeah, so today, one of the challenges on a lot of Oracle customer environments is data corruption, silent data corruption. So after a piece of data leaves the Oracle database, makes its way through the stack towards storage, it can get corrupted as it passes through HBAs, the network, and other components. And when it gets to the storage system, it would be really nice if we could check it and make sure that it's the same data that we got from Oracle when it left the database. And so we've actually engineered with Oracle and Emulex from the HBA to check the Oracle data as it moves through the stack, make sure it hasn't been corrupted. Yeah, I hear a little bit about silent data corruption, but it's like this insidious evil that a lot of customers just don't even realize what's going on out there, right? Yeah, it's true, and it's really a factor of scale. The larger your Oracle environments are, it's going to happen as a matter of probability. And so it's... And if it impacts your... If it gets into storage and it's moved around the data center, it can cause a lot of impact. I think that's an important point. Essentially, what you're saying is that the... Because of the data growth, the amount of data that we're managing, the probability of having some type of silent data corruption is approaching near certainty. Yeah, and we've always done a great job within our platforms to protect against that. The key now is that we can detect it much sooner even before it gets to the storage array because of our integration with Oracle. And so that means what? Better performance, less overhead. Yeah, it means detecting the corruption sooner so you can resolve it sooner. Yeah, okay. Sleep better. Sleep better. Keep it up and available. So, interesting to see the themes and the messages at this event. I mean, we're hearing a lot about cloud. We start there. You guys, you know, clopped on that cloud bandwagon pretty early. We did. And the big data bandwagon. We'll talk about that. But what do you make of Oracle's entrance into the cloud? Well, I think it was inevitable. It was interesting a couple years ago. Larry said the cloud's nothing more than the internet. And he kind of resisted that message for a while. But I think, you know, everybody has to have a cloud story today. And when I listen to Oracle's story, it's as much as they say it's about application choice and choice of deployment. Behind that, he said yesterday in his keynote, it's very much about having the right stack. And that stack in their view is Oracle. So it's an interesting approach. Yeah, it's clear. You know, it's funny. We had Jason, we had Scott McNeely on at the Cube at EMC World this year. Remember, John? And he said, he looked at the camera. He said, I should have just called it cloud. The network is the computer. And so here we are. But I think you're right. It was interesting because Jeremy, first of all, Joe Tucci was very respectful. Yes, he was. As you'd expect. I've called him the godfather of the IT industry. And he was kind of a vuncular up there. But Jeremy did take a little tongue and cheek at Oracle saying choice and flexibility. Choice and flexibility, not something you've heard much about this week. Larry's response was, we give you choice because we write everything in Java, if you've heard his keynote. So it's always interesting to see Oracle in particular, Larry, take what's perceived as their weakness and turn it into a strength. Everything's written in Java. If you use Oracle Fusion apps. Yes. I think their choice is very much an apps message, but the infrastructure is very much an Oracle message. Well, that's right. Think about what we followed the VCE and Vblock trend. And we've often said, well, VCE was first, but really exadata was sort of the first sort of converged infrastructure, if you will, by definition. And it's really not general purpose. It's not, you know, and even though Vblock is any color you want, as long as it's black, it's part of a VMware ecosystem, which is I think generally considered fairly open. And so I guess the question is, how do you compare and contrast what you guys are doing with something like Vblock versus an exadata? That's a great question. I think it's pretty simple. Everybody wants to move to standardization in the cloud. I think that's something everybody agrees on, whether it's Oracle or EMC or whoever. The question will be where you want to standardize. And our view at EMC is most customers, and there have been surveys about this with IOUG and others, over 90% of customers run multiple databases, multiple applications, multiple operating systems. So where we've kind of drawn the line in the standardization is at the hypervisor level, but openness for database and applications that you want to run. I think Oracle's taking it a little bit further up the stack and said standardization up to including the Oracle database in middleware layer. And so obviously that's in their interest because they sell those technologies. From an EMC perspective, we have a separation where we're more open around different database types, different middleware, different applications, et cetera. DB2, SQL server. Right, and then of course there's Vspecs who's actually a response to that standardization at the VMware level. You've got alternatives there, some trade-offs, maybe not the single block.  So Vblock's all about VMware, and if you go to Vspecs, you can actually look at Hyper-V, for example, from Microsoft, which is very common in the mid-market for us. And you can also look at different networks. You can use Brocade or Cisco. Yeah, that whole converged infrastructure space was pretty interesting. We looked at that in some detail and sized the market roughly. It's just an enormous tam. Essentially it's everything. We figured it's about a $400 billion tam. Give us an update on what's going on there. What are the partners saying in terms of that whole converged space? So converged infrastructure is a big trend. We work with, as you know, all the leading network companies, virtualization. And we see a lot of customers wanting to converge down their network protocols, their storage infrastructure, their applications, their databases. For us, that leads to really the need for tiering storage. And that was a big thing you heard yesterday in the keynote is, if you're going to put more applications and more databases on less and more converged infrastructure, it's going to put pressure on the storage. And the storage needs to be able to react and tune itself automatically. You don't want to have to have database administrators and apps administrators waiting for the storage admin to retune and reconfigure the storage. So we put a lot of effort into automating that. And then, as Jeremy talked about, inserting flash technology at the right layers to really boost that performance. That's really where our play is in convergence right now. Excellent. So, you said there's a 15th year in a row at Oracle OpenWorld. Well, here's wishing you 15 more, I think. Yeah, thanks. But where do you see this going? I mean, look out, put on your, bring on the binoculars, five years out. What do you think the industry's going to look like in five years? And generally, and then specifically, what do you think EMC and Oracle will be? I think so, on the first question, I think one theme that you're going to continue to see is consolidation. Even the last several years, we've seen a lot of acquisitions, a lot of consolidation, and down to a handful of really big, complete IT players. I think that's going to continue. I think a lot of those acquisitions in the future are going to be around big data. Over the last couple years, they've been around virtualization and cloud and things like that. So I think that trend's going to continue. I think EMC and Oracle, it's going to be a lot of the same in that we're going to have strong overlap in customers. We're running Oracle software and EMC infrastructure, and we're going to have to work together to help those customers. And we're going to see, you know, continued overlap in products that's as well, not just with EMC and Oracle, but with Oracle and all of their other partners. I think that's going to continue as well. Jason, I want to ask you a bit more of a big picture. It's our third year here, our third year doing live theCUBE here, and the mood has changed from three years ago. I mean, our first time here, we were kind of in a gorilla way, just knocking in theCUBE logic here, and now we're formalizing it. The mood was like Oracle's making moves, and Oracle's so big, when they move the battleship, or the aircraft carriers, it moves them a lot. A lot of drag to it. And money is effective. People's businesses are effective. Last year it was like, okay, cloud, kind of hype, okay, Larry's kind of putting lipstick on a pig, that's what we were talking about. This year he followed through, it's a little bit different in the sense that there's already around it. Do you agree with that? That statement that there's been this Oracle quickly retooling, and do you agree with that? And what do you think their next steps are relative to the messaging? Honestly, they want to agree. Yeah, I completely agree. At Analogy Eldra's EMC, in the early 2000s, when I was at EMC, we acquired Data General, and we evolved the Clarion product line, and now that's the VNX, it takes a couple of years to ingest it, adapt it into your company. And Oracle went through a similar process with Sun. And I think it took them a couple of years to get the Sun hardware business as part of their core message. Going from a software company into a hardware company is a big, big move. And I think last year it was all about Exadata, stack, hardware, hardware, even Larry's keynote on Sunday last year was all about hardware. I think this year they've now taken it to cloud and they've started to take it to big data. And I think next year they're probably going to continue along those lines and maybe even do a little bit more about big data. One of the things that Larry said in his keynote is big data meet big iron. Do you think that big data and big iron are hand and glove, or is big iron antithetical to big data? I think it depends on the definition of big iron. For us, it's less about, as Jeremy said yesterday in his keynote, big data is about the results. And customers want the infrastructure that's going to give them the result and the performance that they need. Now, we have different ways of doing that.  We feel that you need a parallel scale out architecture for that. And then you need the right platform to crunch the analytics and get the result, which is Green Plum for us. Oracle's positioning that is one stack today with Exadata and Exolitics. I think big iron, I don't know if it's big as much as it needs to be fast and it needs to scale. Now, what size that comes in or how it scales, we have different views on that, obviously. All right, Jason, well listen, thanks very much for coming on the QBEMC. I love the cloud meets big data and then here we are two or three years later and Oracle's floating right in, riding that wave.  Copying your moves. It was great about EMC day. It was a totally trumped Larry's big data demo. Jeremy, good job. So EMC, got to love you guys for how you've grown your company. It's fantastic. Okay, this is the Cube. We'll be right back with our next guest. This is our flagship program for the events. If you'd like to see them from the noise, we'll be right back. Thanks, guys.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, hey, thanks. Good, Tom. Hey, guys. You're a new friend. Good.  Outstanding that. Outstanding that is outstanding. And so is the fundamental edge. I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I mean, I've been on it now three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. Primal edges, you know, people are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now your hosts, Nico Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Nico Dahan. And welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural wild world to recover our natural health and regain our rights and our freedoms. And it's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg. It's like 69 degrees and partly cloudy. Looks like Michigan weather to me.  And it's all powered by fulvic and humic acid. And these are the miracle molecules that tell the cells to open up and let the good stuff in and take that bad stuff out of there. Also, please pick up our Health Signals newsletter. This is a new one. And you should really pick this up because there's 10 reasons why NAD should be on your radar. And this really goes to deep in what Paige and I were talking about last week. NAD and the precursor to NAD. And it's a little confusing in some of these articles because in the second article here they start talking about NAD, why it's important, and they start talking about the precursors. And the precursor is NNM. Let's see, it's down here someplace with Ms. Veritol. NNM is, and I should probably just show you this. This is where I get my stuff from. This is the NNM and NECO-Titamin mononucleotide. And this is a precursor to the NAD which is pretty much proven now that this helps you live longer. So why this is important is because this is the precursor and you can't take NAD by itself but you can take the precursor which just goes and your body changes in NAD and that's how it works. And you can get another supplement which is, let's see, I've got it here. Resveritol. Yeah, resveritol. And what this does, this makes the NNM more potent, maybe a 50, 100 times more potent. They really do work together. So it's a nice combination. This is what I've been using for quite a while. I have another product which is the NADH which adds another hydrogen molecule on it and that's taken with CoQ10. And because I take CoQ10 already in the primal edge, I don't need to take that but these are the ones I wanted to take that. I just wanted to bring that to your attention. But read these articles a little confusing because one of them states that NR is the precursor and then it changes to NNM and the other one says that the opposite way. I've heard Dr. Sinclair say that he takes the NMN which is what I've been taking and he says it is the precursor so maybe a little confusion there but I just put the stuff in here like I see it so I don't add any commentary to it. But check all these things out. It's real helpful to understand why this should be on your radar and maybe why you should be taking this. And we're all seeking longevity. We want to be healthy especially in later in life so don't look like a cripple and you're not taking all these drugs because it presents another problem. So let's go to this article here from the CDC what they're talking about here CDC experts says antibiotic resistance is worse than we previously thought. And I think this is important because if you're constantly taking antibiotics and a lot of people take these for the wrong reasons if you got the flu coming up or something like that and you start taking these things for a cold and it's not the way it's supposed to be done. According to the new CDC report more than 2.8 million superbugs are in the United States I don't know how they count all these things with more than 35,000 people dying from them every single year. The problem of antibiotic resistance is worse than we previously thought. This is in that practice that practically means that millions of people in the U.S. who are affected by tens of thousands die every single year. This amounts to the U.S. on the average getting antibiotic resistance infection every 11 seconds and somebody dying every 15 minutes blah, blah, blah. These germs spread between people whether they are displayed as a symptom of an infection or not. There are several ways these germs can spread and they have a little diagram here how it gets into your body. Germs develop new cell processes that avoid using the antibiotic's target. Germs can change or destroy the antibiotics with enzymes which are proteins that break down the drugs. Germs also resist access or restrict access by changing the entry ways or limiting the number of entry ways. Germs can get rid of antibiotics using pumps and germs can change the antibiotic's target so the drug no longer can do the job. They said the problem's not going away potentially a problem that we'll be with forever that's nice. And also note though that it's not a hopeless situation because we highlight in this report that prevention is possible. We've seen some progress in certain parts especially in the prevention of resistant infections in hospitals. And what are those? The two main ways to combat antibiotic resistance is the first is that antibiotics should be used properly and properly really means that when you get a prescription for antibiotics you use it until the prescription is gone. You don't just stop in the middle because you're feeling better. That's a no-no because the drugs are dampening the effect that the germs are having and you want to keep that dampening on until they die if possible or most of them die. This means that following your doctor's advice on when to start and when to stop them it's not demanding an antibiotic when you really don't need one. Another thing like practicing good hygiene include hand washing, getting vaccinated they mentioned here of course safe sex practices. If you're sexually active, preparing and following safe food handling like cooking your meats thoroughly to prevent the spread of germs and resistors. Superbugs like this don't have just don't have health consequences they have also economic effects depending on the type of the page and probably if you're going to the hospital it's going to cost you big bucks. These other drugs that they're going to use on you are expensive. Being in ICU is very expensive. Being at a hospital is being expensive. If you get helicoptered out that's even more expensive. So all this really costs money. So if you want to save your money start getting healthy. Start getting healthy by eating right and following the program and what we're doing here. It says here for example the drug or the germ that causes pneumonia and urinary tract infection cost and estimated $281 million in 2017 in healthcare costs. Its threat level is considered urgent by CDC standards. It's not just the cost it really does undermine a lot of the other things. Example of that is effective antibiotics are really what we rely upon when we're treating patients to treat a cancer patient with chemotherapy and need to make sure that we can treat the infection blah blah blah. So really important folks to get those things right. Anyway we'll be right back. Stick around and pick up some Primal Edge during the break. You know what's cool?

This can help you as long as your diet is good. I mean it always starts with the diet first but you do indeed supplementation in this world because most of our food has lacked a lot of the nutrients that used to have when we were getting it from the wild. So domestication really downplays the character of the enzymes and everything that's going on in the food and it diminishes them. So start getting on the Primal Edge and start following the show please. I want to bring some health stuff in this chat room. John was saying modern day slavery, Amazon $11 billion in profits for 2018, zero in taxes and it's cutting health insurance for the whole foods workers. This is typical that happens in this country and maybe other countries too. The profits are so massive and there's much, much more important. These people need this massive amount of money and they need to take it away from us. Now these companies hold a lot of our information and this is what this next article Legal Health and Data Harvesting is all about in the Atlantic and the basic digital reference book to a multi billion dollar player in the healthcare industry is Google with the potential to combine medical and search data in a my read of alarming new ways. Earlier this month it announced it's 2.1 billion dollar acquisition of the wearables companies Fitbit and suddenly a company that has logged all of our late night searches about prescriptions and symptoms would potentially have access to our heart rates and our step counts. Yeah this is a problem so if they're getting into the health business and there's rumors that Amazon even may be getting into a more drug related thing maybe even prescriptions later on and they've got all this data from us of course say Facebook is right in there Twitter not so much maybe but I think this becomes a problem of Facebook as much as I can I do post on there once in a while of course I post the show on there so that's really the reason I'm on there but it's basically ego driven I find there if I'm posting something I want to find out if somebody saw it and if somebody's commenting on it so it's all ego driven it's not really good for us it takes us out of the limelight and when they start getting into purchasing and buying things from these companies they're going to be influence our buying by targeting what they think we like and I think this is a problem there's a lot of non things that we need there's a lot of things we need that we have to buy but there's a lot of things that we don't need that we buy a lot and you know I can go down a list if you want but I'm pretty sure you've got your own list so the Fitbit Acquisition seems gone compared to the news that Google has secretly harvested tens of millions of medical records patient names, lab results diagnosis, hospital records and prescriptions for more than 2600 hospitals as part of a machine learning project cone named Nightingale citing internal documents the journal reported that Google in partnership with Ascension a health care provider operating in more than 20 states was planning to build a search tool for medical professions that would employ machine learning alco rhythms to process data and make suggestions about prescriptions, diagnosis and even which doctors to assign to or remove from a patients team neither affected patients nor Ascension doctors had been made aware of the project the journal reported and again all parties asserted that the HIPAA the package of privacy regulations affecting patient data allows for its existence in response to my request for both Google and Ascension referenced their respective blog saying all of Google's work with Ascension adheres to industry-wide regulations including HIPAA regarding patient data and comes with strict guidance on data privacy, security and usage the Department of Health and Human Services is probing the deal. Under Google's interpretation the company is merely a business associate helping Ascension better render its services and thus warrants a different level of scrutiny than a rather actual health care provider I don't know I see this as a conflict for me it's a widely agreed upon that HIPAA is out of date there's efforts right now to update it for the 21st century they say what else is in here digital behavior is already used to determine all kinds of real-world outcomes Google and Facebook can infer your emotional state and predict your chance of depression based on your behavior children's YouTube videos were used in scientific research about using artificial intelligence to diagnose autism insurance companies use social media posts to determine premiums for years lending institutions have been doing the same to evaluate credit worthiness it's legal folks this is what they're doing Google says it doesn't combine its user data with Ascension patient data but the fact remains that the data is already in the user's hands it's already tremendously revealing your IP address contains information about where you live which in turn is associated with your social determinations of health such as income employment status and race so they know how much you make you know they know your race they know your sex they know what you've had in the past they know what drugs you're taking what vitamins you're taking what food you're taking probably they know where you're going they know who you hang out with and now they're going to target you based on that information a recent report from the Financial Times done in collaboration with the Carnegie Mellon University notes that Google like Amazon and Microsoft collects data entered into popular health and diagnosis sites. Google's ad service double click receives prescription names from jugs.com for example while WebMD's symptom checkers share information with Facebook the data is not immunized and legal experts say that interviewed argued that the collection may violate European privacy so in Europe they're having this too creating tailored medical treatments for countless patients at a scale requires an enormous amount of data needs to be standardized tested for accuracy and biases stored securely securely processed rapidly I don't I don't want any company having this data on me I think the data should be with me and then on a maybe a thumb driver something that I can give it to the hospital or to the doctor and I keep that information they can't copy that information unless I want them to for some specific reason I think we owe it to ourselves to have the responsibility have that data ourselves in a file someplace in a safe someplace and use it when we need it not to be inter dispersed with everybody else's it just doesn't make sense to me this is a huge problem just it's bad enough to know your social stuff and then what's happening on Facebook is with the political stuff is just I

the chat room again University of Florida professor gave pro real meal interest an interesting talking point with the observation that the ingredients in the two leading plant based meatless burgers are almost identical to those in dog food the brands in possible burger and beyond meat both contain over 20 highly processed ingredients commonly used in pet foods flavors and colorings are the only ingredients used in vegetable based burgers that are not dog food and he says keep up the rant yeah I'm ranting today that's for sure yeah those impossible burgers I never even try one and I remember back in the 80s they had those bokeh burgers and this is not food this is not real food these are fallback foods I've talked about that before when our primary food is not here we go to fallback foods and that's how agriculture really started and I've dealt back into these things quite a bit I always read about our ancient ancestors and what they were doing what they were eating specifically and when it turned bad what did they turn to and if we look at our food today most of the stuff that we're eating that's advertised as all those fallback foods and fallback foods just look up in the dictionary fallback foods are less nutrition they don't have the same ingredients but they're easy to keep on the shelf and that's the reason same reason that Google and Facebook and they're making these millions of dollars and cutting back benefits on people that's the reason they're doing it more money they know problems are coming they need more money so they can hide from us later on that's at least that's my take on it okay I want to go to the next article I want to stay young longer of course that's what we were always talking about science says this exercise makes your body act like it's nine years younger so it's been a dream of civilization since the dawn of time if you can't live forever can we at least slow down the aging process new researchers at Brigham Young University say they found a certain type of physical activity that can actually show the slow the aging process in ourselves that ultimately means better health and better physical conditioning that matches our natural age progression of a significantly younger people and they saying maybe nine years or more of course what we're talking about is walking for 30 40 minutes or maybe even running I think if you're walking every day that you fall right into this this is what my parents that I often talk about that evening walk that they took at four o'clock on the beach and they love that because when they got to south Florida they had the beach that they had in Holland too so that was really important to them and that really instilled it in their minds and I think you need something like that you need a little bit of rituals you know us human beings are really big with them they stick in our minds they endearing to us and they make us do things that maybe normally we wouldn't do so the researchers on there this is where it gets interesting by pouring through the data in the CDC study Tucker claims that he was able to correlate people's relative telomore length with a various lengths of levels of physical activity and he found the surprise he's found that people had three categories had in three categories have roughly similar telomore lengths those those activities really are the higher level of physical activity either you're walking every day or you're running three days a week or even better yet if you don't want to do that 30 minute run or that hour walk go for five minutes on high intense exercise often talk about this high intensity this is something that's been proven to get that gene that we call the longevity gene that we're taking these vitamins for the physical activity does the same darn thing and this is why physical activity has always improved people's health no matter what you're doing okay so high intensity means that you're going to do something for a minute and maybe take 15 seconds off do it for another minute 15 seconds off and you do that 8 10 15 times whatever time you want I do this on a tramp little one of those little mini tramps minute on 15 seconds off that's not where I started I started with 30 seconds on 30 seconds off then slowly you build up and this is how I build up my clients so if you're doing you know it's 10 minutes of high intensity exercise with the 15 second breaks in between with a little warm up and a little cool down easy to fit in because it takes a little over 20 minutes but going for that hour walk there's your mind please your head but they've really pretty much proven that these types of activities is what's essential to extending your life and here they're saying nine years that's quite a stretch here I have another article here put this one away working so hard that you never exercise and this is I think the problem with a lot of us that right here and this is comes from Inc incorporated working so hard is that you never exercise a massive new study of 232,149 people say this small change reduces your risk of death by 27% so 27% if you live 80 years here we're talking you know around that 9 or 10 year mark which is pretty cool and this was just once a week so if you're working so hard trying to build a company that you're neglecting your health is always going to be right below the surface that's why I heartened to learn about this study that suggests that people go for a run just once a week and reduce their death by any cause as much as 27% huge amount of people in this increased rates of participation in running regardless of his dose would probably be substantial improvements in population health and longevity any amount of running even just once a week is better than not running this is interesting he says if you only run once a week and you stop that's none none now you go from one to none so one is very important that's why I always say if you're going to walk plan to do it every day if you miss one no big deal same with running if you're going to run three times a week and you miss one you still got two in and if you just schedule once a week it may be harder if you miss it to get it back in so that's an important thing a recent study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine the positive thing I find is simply that once a week isn't that much to ask I think this holds some people back it certainly has for me he says I mean a two or three mile run once a week isn't going to do much to keep me in shape or help me lose weight it's not going to improve my speed very much but that's okay that's not the goal instead the idea is to simply engage in this medium of fitness effort no matter how busy you are to seem as a reasonable one and it's an objective that you can meet work a little bit, live a little bit longer so I think this is a a good thing exercise for me has been pretty much installed in my brain and you know there's just so much that you can do just laying around and everybody likes to lay around a little while but sooner or later it always gets me I don't want to miss Jiu Jitsu I don't want to miss doing the stretching that I do or a little yoga that I do or do those dunks all these things what we're talking about is meant to make us healthier extend our life and extend our life in a good way in other words we're not going to be crippled we're not going to be sick for the last 10 or 20 years of our life we're not going to be hospitalized we're not going to be dependent on other people we're going to be ourselves if we're alone but hopefully have a companion it's a very important thing being alone is not as much fun I don't think I tend to do a lot more crazier things if my wife's not around I might sneak a cookie or do some crazy thing like that I don't know it just seems like the stability of having a mate it just makes life really good at least it does for me I'll be right back folks, stick around a lot more you know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you something specifically formulated to help with weight loss, better sleep stress reduction and the need to detox Niko, our hunter and gatherer ancestors found all their nutritional requirements for health in their wild environment but today our food sources no longer contain the vitamins minerals and nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy and strong that's why we need primal edge daily nutrition it includes a special blend of ionics oil based vitamins, minerals, baddie and amino acids in an easy to use liquid form primal edge is powered by highly concentrated folic and humic acids nature's preferred delivery system they've been called miracle molecules because like sunlight, air and water life cannot exist without them that's right Paige, they ensure we receive all the nutrition we need to be healthy and thrive we take it every morning and we're ready to go to the next one.

And a lot of studies in this. Wi-Fi is a wireless network using at least one Wi-Fi antenna connected to the internet and a series of computers, laptops, and or wireless devices communicating wirelessly with the Wi-Fi antenna. In this way each such wireless communication device can communicate wirelessly with the internet. All the studies reviewed here use Wi-Fi the 2.4 gigahertz band although there's also a 5 gigabit reserve for possible Wi-Fi use in the future. Of course this is what we're all waiting for the big 5G reveal with all of these little problems. So telecommunications industry linked individuals and groups have claimed that there is no and cannot possibly be any health impacts of Wi-Fi. However with Wi-Fi exposures becoming more and more common with many of our exposures being without our consent there's much concern about possible Wi-Fi health effects. This paper is not focused on the anecdotal reports but rather 23 controlled scientific studies of health related effects on animals cells including human cells in cultures and in human beings. So they have 23 of these stats. Each of these effects reported in were from two and 11 studies have an extensive literature for their occurrence in response to various non-thermal microwave frequencies. They include the findings that Wi-Fi exposures produce impacts on the testes leading to lower male fertility, oxidative stress, adiposis. This is a process that has important casual role in neuro-generative diseases. Do we see any of that happening? Cellular DNA damage also a process causing cancer and germ line mutations and neuro psychiatric changes including EEG changes and hormonal changes. So this is quite extensive. I can't go into the whole thing but I'm going to put it in the newsletter but they did find changes in the testicular mice in their testes. They found lots of different hormonal changes. 146 review published by Dr. Jordan in the studies of historical changes in rodents, the three most sensitive organs in the body to non-thermal microwave EMFs were the nervous system, the heart and the testes. My goodness. And this is just the 2.4 so we haven't really touched at the 5G and of course there's a lot of things happening with 5G. It's really one step lower than your microwave oven. If you have a microwave oven out about 8 or 10 years ago, then this is going to be a concern. And also, we're talking not just about our phones and our TVs now of course and some of our beds are hooked up to it. We've all got maybe your refrigerators hooked up to it but as soon as they start tagging the products and you can tag your own products. You can go to Apple and buy a few of those tags and you'll never lose your screens still. So with all these tags now everything that you buy is going to have a tag on it. When you purchase that they're going to have a tag on where you live. That's going to be known because you're taking it home. They're going to see how long you've used it, how far you go through it. Probably you're going to get an indication when it gets low that maybe something on Facebook or Twitter or something is going to pop up and say, hey, I think you're going to get a tag. It may be tied to the health we were talking about before. So if the same company is pushing a product, has your information and now they're going to make suggestions to you. They may just make real small suggestions. Who knows what they're doing. They may be flashing things that we can't even see. I don't really know. It's just a problem. Each of these seven Wi-Fi effects found in the two 11 studies of the frequency EMFs in a much larger literature from 10 to 16 reviews extensively document each of the seven effects as general microwave frequency effects. These are therefore general effects produced by the EMFs. Each of the seven reported found Wi-Fi effects should therefore be considered established Wi-Fi effects. So they're saying because of the findings this is established now that this is happening because of the Wi-Fi and nothing else. The author is not made aware of any genuine Wi-Fi studies on these seven effects that report no statistical significance evidence of effect. So there's never been a study that shows none. It's always showing something. This to tell you something. Each of these sevens is very serious. Oxidated stress has casual roles in the most chronic human diseases. Cellular DNA damage can cause cancer thus producing a partial explanation of the EMF cancer's causation. Because such DNA damage occurs in sperm cells such damage is highly likely produced mutations in the impact future generations. Calcium overload is highly likely to be the cause of each of these other various effects as discussed below. And a recent many analysis studies shows lowering sperm counts in sperm quality in many countries around the world which declines of over 50% of all advanced technology countries. So over 50% of these countries have problems with low sperm counts and then of course we're having problems with women conceiving because of that I presume. The senior author of the study suggested that this effect alone may lead to human extinction. Extinction. Wow. They set it right there. Given the major impact of EMF exposures on sperm count in quality in human and animal studies the pattern of evidence on male fertility is very worrying. He says one thing needs to be clarified here however the two studies on calcium overload following Wi-Fi exposures such as overload was measured but with a substantial time period following the exposure overload was shown to be caused to the in fact by the increase in the reception receptor activities that's the TRPV1 receptor known to be activated by activated stress as my view discussed in the detail below there's a central mechanism that acts to produce excessive intercellular calcium immediately following EMF exposure that the activated stress and the activation is secondary. So lots of things happening they're pushing this and they're going to be pushing this out and I don't know they have a choice with these smart meters with all these things the smart cars coming driving themselves you're going to be tuned into that internet 24 hours a day 7 days a week it seems like so maybe we should designate a a holiday of some kind where you just do away with all electronics and you just go into a room by yourself or maybe out in the woods it'd be the thing to do I'm thinking you go out for that whole day and you don't get exposed you don't take anything with you except maybe an emergency signal of some kind but it becomes more and more important to start taking some of these things that Paige and I often talk about like the primal edge like taking saunas like doing the exercise like taking the MNN and the precursor for NAD plus it seems like these are the only things that are going to help you because you can kind of feel it I mean when you start taking the primal edge for a little while you can feel the difference you take the MNM after a while you feel it placebo's have those effect too so maybe we're getting both sides of that but I think it's important to remain healthy so stick around I'll be back in a few minutes I'm beginning to become the best of the best when it comes to managing your money let me teach you to do what most wealth

approximately every 11 years the sun's magnetic field flips as the sun's magnetic field flips from one pole to the other there are fewer sunspots fewer spots reduce the activity on the sun surface thus lowering the solar energy emitted by the sun the low point is called solar minimum which we are currently experiencing a grand solar minimum occurs when several solar cycles exhibit less than average activity for decades solar cycles still occur during these grand solar minimum periods but at a lower intensity past grand solar minimums are correlated with the extreme cold and regional climate variabilities now there's an author Brian Fagan who had this book that the little ice age how climate made history in the 13 1850s he says there was never a monolithic deep freeze rather a climatic seesaw that swung constantly backwards and forwards in volatile and sometimes disastrous shifts there were arctic winters blazing summers serious droughts torrential rain years often bountiful harvest and long periods of mild winters and warm summers cycles of excessive cold and unusual rainfall fall could last a decade a few years or maybe a single season a pendulum of climate change rarely paused for more than a generation according to solar scientists we have entered our next grand solar minimum or experienced all the climate chaos of past grand minimums have brought to the earth the past climate chaos is captured in the arctic and arctic ice cores cave staglemites and stag sites and lake and ocean sediment cores given the history of the past grand minimums we can expect higher than average wind events like we're experiencing California flooding grains soybean fields like in the Midwest is experiencing this spring more rapid temperature changes like Denver had in October when the temperature dropped from 83 degrees to 13 degrees the next day more early snow damage in Canada and the U.S. grain on the gray U.S. grain crops early storms destroying up to 40% of this world California's new normal is going to be extreme weather floods droughts and unfortunately devastating fires as the mid grand solar deep roots thanks for sticking around folks that's it I'll see you next week and page will be back bye


Some of the unique training that is going on in this large scale exercise javelin thrust here in 29 palms has to do with the live fire that the individual Marines are getting out on a desert environment. All the way up through supporting arms from air, artillery, second tanks have units here that are out actually maneuvering on the desert, something we haven't done here in over 10 years. The individual skills that each Marine gets in an exercise like this in this environment, in a desert environment, combined arms, live fire scenario, is what every Marine needs. Regardless of what kind of crisis response or wherever he's going to go in the Marine Corps in his future. All the way up to a general officer who's commanding and controlling an exercise of this scale, which again exercises me and my ability to command and control the Marine Airground Task Force. That's what makes this better and different than things we've done in the past.


It's Monday, 10 AM Eastern time, 30 minutes into the trading week, and we have a pretty mixed market to start things off. NASDAQ leading the way in positive territory, up 75 points, or a full 1%, trading at 74.83. S&Ps currently positive by 17 points, or about 6 tenths percent, trading at 27.60, and you have the Dow currently negative by 60 points being led by Boeing on the downside. Of course, the tragedy that most of you probably heard about with one of their planes going down over the weekend, Ethiopia Airlines, that having to do with the 737 MAX, one of their newest airplanes, second time that's happened within the last year. The Boeing down about 10%, one of the highest prices in the Dow in terms of their stock price, and that of course affecting the market. Let's jump over. We'll start it off with that chart of Boeing. Quite a haircut, 11% now down, $46.80. To get over to the news, you have a number of people considering and whether it be China stopping what's going on in terms of grounding those airplanes. You have Boeing shares, and of course, this number just continuing to accelerate now down about 11%, so the plane is Boeing's bestseller and China's aviation regulator decided to ask the airlines to ground the plane, so they have to figure out what's going on in the market reacting to the fact that they may have a problem with one of their bestselling newest airplanes, but nonetheless getting a bid on the Dow, climbing a bit. Look at that low that we made on the open, $25,254, the Dow now almost 200 points above that level, keeping in mind that Boeing has not gotten a bounce at all, so the other 29 components of that Dow bouncing for sure. Jumping to the other indices, S&P 500, trade net highs, $27.67. You've got the NASDAQ 100 trading higher, $71.32. Apple getting an upgrade from Bank of America. We'll jump to that chart in a moment to wrap it up. Crude oil, climbing for $57, currently trading at $56.87. Low contract, $12.93.77, and you've got the Euro, US dollar, $1.12.47. As I had mentioned, Apple getting an upgrade for those Apple fans out there, quite a start to the trading week, up about 2.2%, almost $4 with Apple trading at $176.86. Stay tuned, we come back at 10 o'clock with Tom, then of course 11 o'clock, fast market by TD Ameritrade, Think or Swim, Basil Chapman at Noon, Steve Rhodes, Dave Wright, Tom O'Brien, all this afternoon. Stay tuned folks, have a great Monday.


Okay, so this presentation is about how I left my word processor and embraced Eskidoq. This presentation was done in Eskidoq, rendered to HTML, and displayed on Firefox. So who am I? I was a developer for 12-ish years, doing a range of stuff from mobile to embedded to cloud to, I don't know, desktop, I guess. And now I'm a consultant at Red Hat Services. I work on cloud, OpenStack, cloud management, and deploying this for Red Hat's customers. But that's all about me. My next slide is about question. Who thinks documentation is really important to a project? I expect everyone to raise their hands. Whether it's configuring an HTTP server, whether it's looking up your function calls in Python, or even setting up your own cloud in OpenStack. Without documentation, you're pretty much stuck. Well, there's thoughts. You could make your API discoverable. You could make your code easy to read. But at the end of the day, when things go wrong, you look at documentation. Who likes writing documentation? Great, I expected that. But we must write. We must write. If we don't write, well, I really like this quote. Nick Coglian is a core member of the Python software foundation. He's also a Red Hatter. So this quote is, unless your UI discoverability is really good, saying the feature isn't documented is the same as saying the product can't do it. How many of you have seen the YouTube clips, kids with old computers? It's really funny. If you've grown up with computers in the 90s like me, you'll learn that, hey, to turn on a computer, I've got to reach around the back and flick the switch. And kids don't understand. It's not discoverable. And something that's so second nature to us growing up like this, we didn't even need documentation, but kids now, they need to be told what to do. Well, this kind of adds to the strength of the argument that documentation is really important. Writing is hard. And I'm going to go through a few bug bears that I find in common work processes. First of all, UI elements are distracting. As you can see in this picture, we're trying to write one document, but we've got 50 buttons surrounding a text pane. 50 buttons. I don't know about you, but when I start my work processor, the first thing I look at is, hmm, what font size do I want this to be? Should my headers be 24, 36, serif, sans serif? Are my bullets indented four spaces, two spaces, and so on? I end up looking at how the document looks like rather than what's actually in the content. So that sucks, right? In contrast, I love the clean UI we get with our new editors, right? You can go back to Vim, Emacs. We've got Sublime Text. We've got my new favorite Atom. Kudos to the GitHub people here. And the nice thing about these editors is they let you focus on the content. There's a common sort of UI language here where the main content is in the application. You can make it full screen and focus just on your text and nothing else. I like that. Bug battle, easy to make mistakes. Who can spot the errors in this diagram? Go ahead. Oh, this one and the title, this one and this, right? So technical analysis for Megacorp and report created for massive dynamic. So who's seen this before in their own company's documents, right? We've all done that. We've seen it. We've probably done it before, right? And even the title of the document is yet another company. It's very prevalent. So what I like in SEDoc is, well, we can define variables to substitute throughout the document, right? Minimize errors, automate mundane stuff so that these things don't get in your way. The next thing is outdated references, right? How often have you updated a document, added a new section, but forget to add references, right? Refer to section two for a certain feature. But then you forgot that you added a week later another section that pushes this section down. And then you've got an inconsistent document. In SEDoc, you can have cross-references and anchors to each part of your text, right? The beauty of this is you can have multiple sections and they always refer to the same place. You can have your documents split into multiple files and they still will refer to the same place when you compile them all together. But therefore, copy and paste hell. We've all done it. I'm guilty of it. I've got five documents. You want to compile it all together for a single consumer, right? Again, references, wrong all over the place, numberings, all messed up. So SEDoc has a nice feature of composition. We can have the combination of macros defined for a document to be spread throughout this document. We can compose several documents together, mix and match, right? In this case, I've got effects, which I'll show you later, basically talks about what this document is about, who is it for, who is it written by, and so on. We've got revisions, which you probably can guess from what it says. We've got prefaces, we've got domain content, and so on. And the nice thing about this is you can reorder it. And the numbering on the final document will be nicely done. Another thing I like about SEDoc is repeatability and customization. This command will work whether it's on my laptop, whether it's on a customer site, or whether it's even generated automatically through some other portal. I think I see at least one of you in the audience who's seen an example of a customer documentation written in SEDoc and created using a make file. Again, this is another example of changing branding depending on who your target audience is. You might want to have a different logo, right? And all you need to do is change the template, right? And of course, in my case, I made this presentation in SEDoc and I compiled it to a presentation. So this is the part where I demo. Let's go to here. To create this presentation, I used a tool called SEDoc, which created a presentation using DeckJS, right, from my current presentation.sqdoc. Oh, sorry. Better? Okay. So just a simple command line for the tool. As I mentioned earlier, I'm using the Atom Editor. It's got a very nice plugin for SEDoc preview. So all I need to do after I write my SEDoc is press Control-Shift-A and it renders my SEDoc in a window by the side. The nice thing about this is you can modify it, right? And it's dynamic. So I've got macros as well. This is a larger example. It's actually taken from one of my projects. I mentioned just now that there's a fax document for every document I generate, right? In this case here, I have subject, description, author, email, and so on. And the nice thing is I can define my source highlighter through this tag here and I can see the style, right, what color scheme and so on. When I do references. Now this importing that tag on line 50, that's an example of an anchor. And how I get to the anchor is through this. And even right now it's on the same page, but even if it's on different pages, it will refer to the same anchor when I compile it to the full document. This make files a little bit more complex, but I'll just walk through it line by line for you. The first one just creates a simple PDF document using SC-Doctor PDF. This is a plug-in for SC-Doctor, which generates, well, as you can guess, it's a PDF document. The target branded journal is a little bit special because it adds in a custom theme. In this case, it's the Red Hat Consulting logo which gets plastered on top and some footers and headers that get added to every page. So I'm making the plain document now and it generates a plain document, no backgrounds, no headers and footers. And we've got very nicely generated table of contents all clickable in a PDF and we can even go back to that link I was talking about. So if I click here, it goes to the right place. So if I mouse over, it says go to page 14, but in effect, whether it's page 14 or page 1400, it doesn't matter because the references have already been created and anchored in the right place. So I'm making the next target now, which is branded journal. This takes in templates from another directory that I've created somewhere else with JPEGs, sorry, PNGs and headers footers defined in the document. Now it comes out with a very nice professional looking header. You can see the fonts have changed a bit from serif to sans serif. It's a bit smaller, it just looks cleaner now. And all this was done without any change in the source text. It was just a different direction to style sheets. Any questions so far? No? Yes? Okay. So it's a YAML file. It's quite a big file, of course, because this has been customized for the company's styles. But if you were to start from scratch, I advised to go with a few, figure out how they work out or even find some from the web and copy and customize them. And I've used custom fonts as well. sq.com comes with some default fonts. I've added liberal sans, regular italic and bold. Now these are actually in my local file system, which I placed here. And that's what makes the fonts look a bit different from the first one to the second example. Okay. So I've got a few links. There's actually some books written in sq.im published on O'Reilly. O'Reilly does have a portal dedicated to using a couple of text-based formats to publish the books. sq.im being one, then Markdown being another. And the nice thing about the first link is it's actually, it's actually the source is all on GitHub. So you can actually see how this guy wrote his book in sq.dog. Okay. There we go. The internet is a bit slow, so I'm not going to go through this. Thank you. This was a very short presentation. I hope you enjoyed it. Do you have any questions from anyone? I haven't really used latex that much, but to me, sq.dog was simple, it was easy to use, and within Red Hat it was used across quite a number of our open source projects. There's also something else which I didn't mention here called sq.binder. Sq.binder is a project meant for managing documentation across a large open source projects with version documentation and so on. So I think the ecosystem around sq.dog is quite nice. I like it. Markdown is really, I mean Markdown, sq.dog, these are the class of markups that are kind of like email friendly. Email inspired. Yeah. Email inspired. And Markdown, one of the things that distanced me from Markdown in the beginning was Markdown doesn't do tables in the standard Markdown, there's GitHub flavored tables, there's other flavors. Things all the Markdowns we keep using and seeing, they all get extenders, like we have tables, we include dynamic stuff with expandable sections, and it's a very rich Markdown. Well, we don't make it, but we would be looking for things for documentation. And I was asked, I was told to look at sq.dog and one thing that made me not do anything was it's going to be hard to make it dynamic. We have a unique problem. We actually have to support multiple different languages as an API from the same API source. Do you mean I-18N? Mm-hmm. I-18N or Programming Languages? Programming Languages. Okay, okay. So there's a C API, C++ API, JavaScript API, but it all comes from the same class, the same APIs. So they share some documentation, but other bits are language specific, and I have yet to find any documentation thing that works this way. We have to have a little drop down menu, say, I want to be in C++ mode, I want to see C++ developer. I don't care about the JavaScript stuff, and it'll hide that and show the right things. I had not found it. That comes up, the question, but it comes up in a number of tools that are, there's only APIs in browsers where you're going through documentation. Yeah, but everyone's written something in a browser like a back end PHP or whatever, I don't know, to do that and generate it. There isn't like a standardized tool. So- So that feels like a gap that someone should fill. Yeah, we're going to have to fill it ourselves, like everyone else. And especially with network at the end, because we're absolutely certain that the other end of code will be technically language. So it's a method snack. But then, I'd argue that that's kind of a parallel discussion because that's code documentation, and then there's other types of documentation where it's further, I don't know. In this case, what I have is customer documentation where it talks about the overall use cases, and there's less code involved. Sure, but the things we're documentation is API for programmers. But it's available in N languages. And since it shares a lot, you don't want to rewrite all of it. So it's shared in the language specifics. So that feels like you're assuming there's something like a means of marking a block that's belonging to a particular case. So we're literally basically creating our own documentation system, just as solid, so we haven't found a solution. We're generating markdown, and then we're having a whole wiki actually do the rest of it from there. Cool. I'd like to see that. So the idea is you can then go to the wiki and actually edit the common sections they shared. You can edit the language-specific sections. So your second question was, who likes writing documents? Kate writing it. Yes, thank you. Hello. Who are you? The signal. Oh, I didn't know you were here. So, yes, as our signal points out, we have about five minutes, which means we can continue with the discussion, but is there a canon in the room? Yes. Is Michael canon in the room? The level's back here a little when you went. We won't have quite a bit more than five minutes. Continue, it's more than that. He's not ESO. You'd have to write your own tool. Yeah. The Doctogen is pretty much the tool for that. But it has big downsides. We've been using it for years, and we've hit the point at which we're kind of too big, and we didn't spend enough time really maintaining it. So now the mess is so big. Literally, we do make Doc, and it takes us about one to two minutes for a documentation to generate. I remember spending a day or two trying to fix that documentation. I gave up. It was a cycle of, does this actually make sure that this section is actually linked in? I've got a link and I can find it. It took me so long to figure it out, I gave up and threw my hands here and didn't bother anymore. But Doctogen is the only one for that. And you pretty much want to be writing it from the day you start writing your code. It's comments in code. And it's a CC plus plus mostly. I used Doctogen quite many years ago. It worked until, I guess, the skill. It's a skill problem. At a certain point when you either get big or complex and then you don't really look after it for a while, it becomes a big, hairy ball of mess to fix up again. Does anyone have any suggestions?


I want to start off today by talking about the job report we just received for March. As stark as those numbers are, they aren't a surprise for a lot of Canadians. Each one represents a different story, a worker who's been laid off, a family that's having to hunker down, a community that's anxious about today and tomorrow. We've all seen the impact of COVID-19. We've all knew this was going to be a tough time and that countries around the world are in a similar situation. But that's no comfort if you're out of a job, if you're having difficulty making ends meet. You need real support. So we're doing our best to help you bridge to better times. On Monday, we launched the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. More than four and a half million claims have been processed, which means people are already receiving their $2,000 for this month. We're also working on legislation to bring in a wage subsidy to help employers keep people on the payroll while working on new loans for business owners. We will keep expanding our three-point economic plan to protect jobs, support business owners, and get everyone the help they need. Things will get better, and once they do, you can be sure that our country will come roaring back. As a country, we've gotten through tough times before. We've stood together, united, and strong. On Vimy Ridge, more than a hundred years ago today, thousands of Canadians gave their lives so that our country would know peace. As historians have noted, reflecting on Vimy, it was a moment ordinary people did extraordinary things. Fathers and sons, brothers and friends, their sacrifice and courage defined what it is and what it meant to be a Canadian. And their legacy lives on in the women and men who continue to step up and serve us in uniform. In our nurses and doctors, who put themselves in harm's way for us all to stay healthy. And in everyone who steps up and asks what they can do for their fellow Canadians, that's what makes Canada strong. And that will be our path forward, no matter what tomorrow may bring. Right now, the future can seem even more uncertain than normal. If you've lost your job, if you're worried about an elderly parent, you probably want to know what to expect. Earlier today, we released our modelling on how we think this pandemic might unfold. The modelling shows that COVID-19 arrived in Canada later than in other countries. So, we're in an earlier stage of the outbreak. That means we have the chance to determine what our country looks like in the weeks and months to come. Our health care systems across the country are coping for the time being. But we're at a fork in the road between the best and the worst possible outcomes. The best possible outcome is no easy path for any of us. The initial peak, the top of the curve, may be in late spring with the end of the first wave in the summer. As Dr. Tam explained, there will likely be smaller outbreaks for a number of months after that. This will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed. But as we saw, that is so much better than we could face all of us if we do not rise to the challenge of this generation. The path we take is up to us. It depends on what each of us does right now. It will take months of continued determined effort. We'll need to keep practicing physical distancing, staying home and washing our hands. It will help. It will help get the numbers that Dr. Tam was talking about between 4,000 and 44,000 deaths as low as possible. With the provinces and territories to obtain their last data. Rather today, we have unveiled our projections. The models show that the COVID-19 has arrived in Canada later than in other countries, so we are at a higher stage of the epidemic. This means that our efforts have even more importance to decide what our country will look like in the weeks and months to come. For the moment, our health systems are at risk, but we are at the crossroads. The path that will lead us to the best result will not be easy. We could reach the summit of the curve at the end of spring, and the first wave could end during the summer. But as Dr. Tam explained, we will probably know other less important wave infections during a certain number of months. This will be our new reality until we find a vaccine. But as we saw this morning, this is the best scenario that could happen. But if we saw this morning, this is a better scenario than what could happen if we refused to act. The path we will take depends entirely on us all. We will have to be disciplined during the next few months. We will have to continue to stay at home and continue to wash our hands. That's how we will avoid thousands of deaths and reduce the number of cases. I know it's tough to stay home, especially as the weather gets nicer. If you have kids, it's even tougher. But to get them back outside and running around the playground and park as soon as possible, you need to keep them inside for a little longer. This will work, and will be with you every step of the way. Just this week, we received millions more masks to keep our frontline workers safe, and we have contracts to get more ventilators. We are helping industry mobilise, like the entrepreneur from VARS Ontario, who's creating reusable visors for hospitals across the province. And we've continued to support Canadian researchers working on a vaccine. We're pulling out all the stops to beat this virus and help you get through this time. And if you have to go out, keep two metres away from each other. That's how we're going to protect vulnerable people. That's how we're going to protect our children. That's how we're going to save lives. And that's how we're going to help our nurses and doctors who do an extraordinary job every day. I know it's not easy, but it's not forever. Eventually, we'll be able to go back to cinemas, restaurants and parks. But for that, everyone has to do their part now and for the future. Over 100 years ago today, Canadians showed what metal we are made of. I know each of us will rise to be worthy of the legacy of the heroes that built this country. We can do this together. Merci tout le monde.


You know what I'm saying? As opposed to Dr. Stephens' code with Chicago Police Department's revolver, put them on my mama's pregnant belly, eight and a half months, that's my American history 101. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. It's an assessment. You know what I'm saying? It's certain heat.  You say, whoa, some dynamic had to happen. Michael Jackson first said, I'll make a difference if you black or white. When he called that case, it's too James. They don't really care about us. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's a cat called me yesterday from Cook County Jail. He running down point-by-point. You know what I'm saying? Damn. You remember all this? Yeah. The heat is on them. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of times we even struggle, I'm impacted by the dynamics that happen. My prenatal care. You know what I'm saying? As opposed to Dr. Stephens' code with Chicago Police Department's revolver, put them on my mama's pregnant belly, eight and a half months, that's my American history 101. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So the deal is, you know what I'm saying, not to have a subjective assessment, you know what I'm saying? In revolutions, as Minister U.P. Newton said, it's not a dinner date, it's a protracted struggle. You know what I'm saying? Tug and pool. So it ain't no absolute solution. You know what I'm saying? What we at now? Because believe me, you're doing the McEvellian system. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They'll flip the script. You know what I'm saying? They're going to make the criminalize the victims and redirect your assessment. You going into my, man, we talking about this nation, you know, to get some concessions to somebody else or to another entity that, oh, we've remade it. So it's a constant battle. It's a constant battle. Let me ask you this. When you, you just mentioned about the father, about your mother having a gun put to her stomach when you was eight months old, when she was eight months pregnant. How old were you when you kind of understood what was going on with the way that the, you know, like the officers and the way that they were, you know, that your life could be in jeopardy anytime and that they had already assassinated your father? Like, like, how old was you when you really clicked for you? I can't really say when they call it the aha moment. Yeah, yeah. And also we had to be distinguished.  So it always was a basic understanding. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, okay, man. Poli sent your friends. They're not coming to get no cats out of the trees. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They're not coming from school, from writing about Chairman Fred. Really? Like people tell you. How old were you when that happened? Oh, I think I was, I think third, third or fourth grade, I think. You was writing about, writing about Chairman. Yeah, yeah.   But the ability to articulate, to put in this correct context, you know what I'm saying? The arm of the politics, it's been a process. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because again, none of us are detached from the outside community. Like, I have an issue where people say, just as long as you do what you're going to do in a home, everybody's straight. We're all impacted by imperialism. You know what I'm saying? The politics of, and Field Marshal George Jackson said, capitalism not only affects the economy, but it affects the psychic of the people. You know what I'm saying? To be engaged in the conversation with other people. You know what I'm saying?  He's way back then. So that limits your ability to move forward with certain assessments. Yeah. And let me ask you this. Like, when did your mom explain to you about safety with the police or safety when you go into school? Did she start that? She had to start real early with you. Because it was a shadow. I've accused my mother, Cymre, who was my A1 from day one. I joke with her now. I say, you know, sometimes I think maybe you like was subjective, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like it was a given. And I said, you know, we have thought that other people didn't know who Malcolm X was, knew what the police do to you. You know what I'm saying? And deal with you, we can't be subjective. Because the reality is stuff that like as a child, like even some things you just see, like going to get ice cream. Yeah. I would have to wait when ice cream truck come down. I had to sit back and make sure it's not a good humor ice cream truck. Because good humor was used by the federal government to help frame Chairman Freya. They say he took 71 dollars for ice cream. Yeah. He came to the children. So this is conversation. And how much time did he get when he did that, when they arrested him for that? It's five years. They sentenced, the maximum to be 20, but he got out on appeal bond in August 13, 1969. And that's when they up the ante and said they had to take him out. Because he got out on appeal bond and was possibly to be taken back in late December. Okay. Because he was still fighting the case. Yeah. But I guess you can correlate it also with certain kids growing up and certain, you know what I'm saying?  And they were like, man, that's crazy. That baby smoking cigarettes. But it went over there and they seen all the tobacco ads. And they see all the babies doing it over here. So it's a climate that I grew up in. You know what I'm saying? Like discussions. African, you know what I'm saying? But again, I was deprived of the outside, the community. See like when Nipsey House, when he talked about when he went back to his homeland. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? When he talked about Richard, how they would call the dawn, they would shut the whole city down. The family come. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They pray. That impacts you. Yeah.


Right. Yeah. Yeah, it comes with the territory. It does. The Air Force never gives you a new airplane without these things attached to it. Yeah, I'm saying it. That'd be fun. Yeah. Hey, we're supposed to walk together, Chris? I guess. Sure appreciate you inviting me up. Yeah, I'm glad you could come up. Time worked out good. And Bill Carr, after they'd retired, getting their recollections of the old F-51 days. Okay. I don't know what happened to that stuff. So, when they moved, it was about the time that in the 82s, when General Electric pulled out and... Well, the religious commune had bought it and they still have it. Damn. Good to be next to us. It is. Yeah. We'll go to a spot and it'll go and look for what's the Chinese sand threat. Yeah. And then it looks the same test and they just drive around and it works out pretty nice. We had risk to rush and be able to see them. But as soon as we crossed over ahead and then we started losing them, depending on where they are, just based on that foot climb. I don't know. Have a good flight. Thank you, sir. Thanks for being here. I'm sure you are. Patriotism. What are you... Good. Blood. We're going to park two jets together, so a B-model, symbolic to you. Then the wind commanders do it. We're just trying to create some memories and reflect on the past. We're just trying to do that a little more. That's good. How about Shane? I don't see him out of here. He's in North Carolina. Yeah. Which is a bomber. Yeah. Thanks for having me up. I sure appreciate it. Thanks so much for coming up. So you flew in a D-model back in the day? Yeah. What are you carrying on the left wing there? What do you think of that, boss? I think that's great. Thank you. That is special. It's very awesome. Today's a special day. Oh, fantastic. I'll be back up here 30 years after the fact. Fantastic. You set us off on the right path. Well, you guys have carried on a great tradition. I mean, every commander and everybody that gets in the guard, they seem to grab on to that tradition and excel and make it better. We got to remember our history. Yeah. It's very important, so it's awesome to have you up here today. Oh, thank you so much. Had a nice day and could recognize us and that you're here for it. Fantastic. Well, you probably need your picture taken in front of that thing, I think. I will. I'll do one more and we'll call it good. 30 years. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. I know that's you. Have you heard about the all aviators reunion? Yeah. Well. It's not the coronavirus. We're good to go. Yeah.
