Name another podcast like this. Check it, check it, check it, it's a unique hustle, it's your boy, E-CEO. And I'm here with the lovely, amazing official, Mr. Mako, what's going on? Nah, nah, my dad will all go on. Man, hey, man, we got a special guest in here today, man. He really don't need no introduction, man. This guy here is here by way of California, man. I'll tell them more. Compton, California. You want me to say that? You got to say that. Compton, California is in the building. He's representing. All right, let's get it right. Let's get it right. Hey, man. So, hey, man, how are you doing today, man? Man, I'm glad to be here. Man, we thank you for coming all the way this way, man. Yes, sir. Man, so just, you know, we always go back, man. So we going to start off just in the early stages of who you are. You know what I mean? Like, you say, Bumpton, that's what they say. Compton or Bumpton? Well, Bumpton, California, like Melvin say, it ain't set trippin', we set trends. And when you say Bumpton, California, a lot of people think about gang bangin' or this. Compton, California is the first black-run city west of the Mississippi's. Okay. When it was called in DC Chocolate City, we was Chocolate City. Okay. Man, because I never heard of Bumpton before. You never heard of? Never. Compton? So Compton, you just named it as, there is no place that really named Bumpton? Yes, it is. Okay. It's Blacktown. Oh, okay. Okay, so it's not you. You never heard of it. Who named it Bumpton? Um, God did. Like, it was just unknowing that, I mean, you never heard of Chocolate City. Yeah. So that's Washington, DC, right? Uh-huh. So you heard of that? Yes. So just because you didn't heard of it, don't make it any, it's not true, right? That's true. Okay, so it's a lot of things you heard of. We'd have another Mount Everest with the stuff that you ain't heard of. That's true, that's true. So, you ain't really ever been to Bumpton, so you got to come. Okay, definitely will. So it was, you know, we call it Bumpton because the Compton referred to the Clue Clutch Clan, the founding fathers of Compton, California, the pilgrims that came there. And like I said, I was raised on Elm Street. And that's where you were born as well? Yes. Born and raised? Okay. On Elm Street. And as we said, we ran Freddie Kugler off Elm Street, so that's where the nightmare came from. Oh, okay. We moved them Crockers East. Okay, okay. Wow. So, uh. So tell us, how was it like growing up there as a kid? Growing up, like. Did you have brothers and sisters? Yes. How many brothers had many sisters? I got a brother and a sister. One brother. Are you the eldest? Yes. Okay. So big bro. So you had to lead the way, lead the example. I don't know if I did all that. I was there. You was there? Yeah. Okay. So we grew up, the average black family, not the average black family, my father was a homeowner. First houses on Elm Street. So you were raised with your mom and dad? Yes. Okay.  I mean, that's the economical forte for exclusion of the black race. Right. So, yeah, through, you know, that came up through the 30s and it disseminated all the way through. But in Compton, when I grew up in Compton, it was the city of no smog because of the atmosphere. They call Compton the hub city. So we're in the middle of everything. Anaheim, Orange County, the valley. So the hub city with the air coming from the south, the beach, the salt water air, and the mountain air from the Santa Ana winds comes into the middle and it connects in Compton. And it's a natural purification.  But all the knowledge that you have about California, because as a child, because, you know, most kids don't care about the city that they grew up in. They don't go research and they're just living. They just want to, it's all about them. So how were you as that child? Were you always this way or? We grew up this way. I mean, this inconsistency didn't happen to the dispensation of maybe the 80s babies. We grew up having knowledge of what our city was and what our city was about. Oh, okay. And that's because of your parents passing that knowledge down to you? Heck, you know, my mama didn't know nothing. My mama's from Mississippi. She's the only child graduated from college. My daddy brought her to California. She thought she was the queen of Elm Street. So, no. In my era, we were adventurous. Okay. Like, Compton was a country, you know, like Texas now. We had horses and cows. We used to steal the LA Dodgers. The LA Dodgers stayed in Richland Farms. And we used to steal a horse at six o'clock in the morning and ride all the way to Disneyland. Barabak, you know what I'm saying? Wow. So, we didn't call it stealing at that time. We just, you know, we needed a ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, when you think about, you know, because I told Marv is the name that you were called, but when you think about Marvin Earl Kincey, how did that- I don't know where y'all get this Earl from. My name ain't no dad or no. Marvin Kincey. Okay. So, how does that transformation happen as far as to Artola Marv? Artola. Well, let's go back to who Marvin Kincey was. Okay. Who Marvin Kincey is. I'll add one more name to that, because I see on your social media, you have Cahill Ayat. Cah- Khalil. Khalil, sorry. Khalil means it all, love. Yeah, Khalil Hayat. Ayat. Ayat. Ayat is the Asura in a, like in a Bible of verse, instead of a verse in the Koran, it's Ayat. You know what I'm saying? So, my youngest son's name is Khalil, and I just use Khalil Ayat. Okay, okay, cool. So why did it change with all of these different names? You were going into that story. I ain't got no all different names. My name is still Marvin. Marvin, and then now you have- That's a title, Ayatola. Okay, so tell me about that title. That title, well, how the title came about, is a matter of fact, it was right here in Texas. I was on the verge of being arrested in Houston, Texas. Okay. And I got away from the police, and my attorneys put me on a plane to go back to California, the police had told LA that I was on my way to California. So my attorneys took me to Hobby Airport and sent me to Las Vegas. So at this time, this 1978, 79, the Ayatola Khomeini had 143 passengers on the passenger plane, Americans, and demanded that America give them $40 billion, you know. So Ayatola had America as hostage. So when I went to Texas, I mean, when I left Texas and went to Las Vegas, they had, in the casinos, they had these papers. You came to Texas, took Las Vegas by storm, and it's a warranted poster on there. So I wrote a letter, I got one of these posters and sent it to the prosecutor in Houston, Texas, right? I told them, I said, I was marvelous Marv then, marvelous Marv took Texas by storm, wanted dead or alive, right? And I sent it to the prosecutor. So I came back to California, when I came back to California, I ended up getting arrested. So I got arrested, I go with high powers for known gang members. So Doc Holliday, the leader of the BGF, I've been knowing Doc since the San Quentin days, him and Ray Ray Browning and Stanley Tookie Williams, some of the notables.  And it just, 1979, it just started long. So, I mean, it's suitable, Ayatollah means the evidence of a law, the evidence of God. And like Marvin Sapp said, you never should have made it through the things that I've been through. I mean, with all the time I did in prison, all the time I did, I wasn't the best person on, I ain't been that bad on the street, but I am. You're not the worst. I kinda am, just so.   I ain't never locked up, I ain't never, I've been on these streets, I'm 71 and I'm still pushing a line. But it's in a different line raising my youngsters now. Because we got a 30 year gap of black men not relating to black children. And then you come back, half of us were in prison, the other half was on crack, on some, they weren't just abandoned, but they was kidnapped psychologically. So you have a child like brother just said, his father in and out of prison, out of jail, two or three years, it was a gap. If my oldest sons had it depended on me, they had been sitting down in the pisk, I was in the penitentiary, and they said their mother's sitting down, so luckily they became men, but it had nothing to do with me, because I wasn't there. You feel what I'm saying? So we have to accept the responsibility of what happened to us that we allowed to happen and the dispensation between us and our children. How can I come back and my son 20, 25 years old and I tell him what to do? Wow. And men don't, I'm not going to say men where a lot of people don't think about those consequences when they're in the trouble before. You know what I mean?  But you know what? You don't think about it before. But the problem with a gangster, we're selfish. I never loved nobody more than me. And when I grew up, I didn't grow up thinking I was going to marry somebody or have kids. Not even your mother? You didn't love nobody more than you? I didn't love nobody more. I thought I loved my mother, but if I had her and respected her, she would not, my mother never been to prison. I tell you, my mother graduated from Jackson State University. She came to California. My daddy took care of her. You dig what I'm saying? My brother, father would come home every Friday with flowers and candy. I'd give it to women because my dad gave it to my mother.  I'm not my daddy. So you grew up in a really good household. Yes, I thought I was Beaver Cleaver. But you ended up on the street. Everybody do. Well, let me ask you this, and I want to skip over it. You said when you came back from Texas and you went, when you first got locked up, what was the turn, how much time did you get? My first got locked up?  We was talking about that early. I was with some of my little cousins and these boys came, this is an LA. My cousins, we were playing. Some dudes asked us, do we want some balls? So we're like, yeah.   But we just in LA, we playing. They burglarizing the place.  We go to jail, Newton Street jail, right? We go to jail. I'm so scared to tell my mom, I don't tell them who I am at all. So it's the first time I ever spent the night away from home in my life in juvenile hall. Wow. And then one of our neighbors seen me there and went and told my mom, you know? And I had the right to remain solid at nine. Okay, so when was the next time that you had got? Before you get into the next time, sorry, babe. They always say that the reason why you end up on the street or anything like that is because you normally don't have that father figure in your life to try to straight send you in the right direction. But you still ended up on the street, although you had a father figure and you got in trouble. But then does the environment have something to do with that? We talk about the gap, okay? My father died when I was 13, okay? So we look at 13. But you got in trouble at nine first time.  I'm hustling. We were going out the house, riding bicycles. We weren't territorial when I was growing up. We ride bicycles to Griffin Park. We go and we in mischief, you understand? We keeping the crime rate up. Haven't white folks. I had a critical incident with white America at about eight and just changed my life. That's what really changed my life. What happened?  It's no prejudice in California.  We had the men, we had the Spook Hunters, the John Burke societies, and these were some real crackers. After seven o'clock, they see blacks walking the street of Compton. They shoot them with BB guns. The niggas is coming. The niggas is coming, right? So we had, they call it Gonzales Park now. And on Rosecrane, when I grew up, Rosecrane was a two-lane street with no sidewalks. We're coming from the park one day. When we come from the park, never forget the car, a blue and white Crown Victoria. That's why I don't like Forge today. These crackers rolled up. They had these sleeves rolled up. They had Lucky Strikes, a pack of Lucky Strikes had the Butch haircuts. And they asked like, man, where is Wilmington?  My brother didn't like, man, don't walk up on a car. I goes to show them where it was. And they threw eggs and rotten tomatoes on me and laughed about it. And it hurt my heart. Why would somebody do me like this? Your parents tell you white people is all right. My mother didn't really say that.  And from Mississippi, so she hated white folks. So I go home, I'm crying, eggs, rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes all on me. Everybody said, I told you don't do this. And I get to the house and I'm like, what's wrong?  So me and my crew, after that, I started bringing havoc on white America.  We would go on this side of Compton Boulevard where all the white people live. And they got, in our neighborhoods, all the mailboxes are in the front door. And we'd go to the front door, go get your water hose about 11 o'clock at night, put your water hose in your front door, turn the water on in the morning, your furniture's floating. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.   We laugh, have us a good laugh. So that was our groin. That was how we started and just putting stuff together. And my little crew, we was called the Blackjack Boys. So this was before the bloods or anything like that? This was before? Yeah, this is 1959, 1990. So we was called the Blackjack Boys because we were watching the gangster movie and they had to, so we got water hoses and put black tape around it, right? And so I had a little crew of about seven or eight of us and we'd go out and rampage everything, every night. We'd go get some clothes, put hay in the clothes and all our streets have dips in them, right?  So we had all kind of stuff going on that. So when you think of, so after you, like I said earlier, when you, what was the second time that you ended up being incarcerated? Man, I hadn't been incarcerated so many times, bro. Yeah, so what was it? Well, I get it, I make it easier for you. What was the longest stretch? Was something that shocked you and like, dang, that's a lot. Well, the first, my first incident in juvenile hall did four months, then I did nine months and then I was out like 69 days and caught a murder robbery. Okay. Me and my crime partners and intentional, what an accident, white America, you know, and end up doing 15 years. Okay. So from 17 to about 27, you know, grew up and I'm the first youth to ever, I caught a case in Ontario YTS in youth authority. Okay. And a guy got convicted and I went straight from youth authority to San Quentin. Wow. Ain't nobody do that. You gotta go through Tracy to Hatch-A-V, a solid dad, that I went straight to the adjustment center. Wow. So they sent me there to kill me, but God said no. Hey. You know. So when you think about growing up, because Kendrick Lamar and all the rap artists too, we was talking early off the behind the scenes and how did you end up, just give me the story on Kendrick Lamar, knowing him and meeting, you know, seeing him growing up. Kendrick was a brother he had moved from Watts and his family moved across the street from us.  Like Myle Manard as he is now. And I remember one day I had an artist, Tony Hustle, we was on Warner Brothers and we go to a celebrity party and we go in there. And J-Rock was there, J-Rock from Watts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And J-Rock just got put on Warner Brothers and I see Kendrick and like, hey Kendrick, what's up? I think he's in the entourage with J-Rock, right? So you know, and I see him a couple of more times on stage when game did a thing with J-Rock. I see Kendrick on the stage. So I'm thinking he a bouncer boy, right? I go to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  I go, Kendrick, I'm like, yeah. He's the man, he on Source magazine, I said, we kill. You're like, man, now go see him. Go in there and see him with Dr. Dre. Like, what? I didn't even know this dude could rap. Wow, those two are real. Did you ever talk to him after that? Yeah, I saw him. I'm like, you know, you can't ask to get on when you miss the boat.  But everybody wants, now you want to claim him. Silk had action at him, but he didn't think he was worth it. Wow. So all the dudes that had action, now they all crying. When he moved from, his mother didn't move from my, that was, where I grew up, it was treetops.  This is treetops, because all our streets are named after trees. Elm Street, Spruce Street, Maple Street, Magnolia Street, Palmer Street, all our streets are trees. So that's the treetops. So in 1959, I became a treetop. And treetops went from Central to Compton Boulevard to Rosecrown to the Canal. We had a canal running from one side to the other. And Elm Street had the bridge. And when I get in my teens, we ran the bridge. If you wanted to go across our bridge, the Canal Boys Bridge, you had to pay a quarter or fight somebody. Wow.  Well, let me ask you this. I seen you on a picture with Dre. How did, how did, how was you and his relationship?  How did that end up happening? We don't have a relationship, you know. It ain't like me and him cool or, I mean, we're coolers, but I had to give rough props. Okay. You did what I'm saying? When he made the deal with Apple, and he became the first black billionaire of the city of Compton, right? So, before this, I had asked the new mayor had came in. Kendrick was on, problem was on. DJ Quick, we got some amazing dudes about our 10 square miles. We had more blacks going to the Olympics at a time than any state, you know what I'm saying? It's great things happen out of Compton, California. You know what I'm saying? So, I approached the mayor, who was Asia Brown at the time, and asked him like, man, we need to, give something for the rappers. NWA made gangster rap, you know.  So, we don't want Compton to go in that direction. We're trying to change. We don't want to get rid of the gangster. So, when Dre got the money, they start asking Dre. Dre wasn't accepting no calls. So, I went on myself with my own money, and I made June 19th. Most kids don't know what June 10th is. So, I made June 10th in the city of Compton, Dre Day. Wow. That's why I gave him a hood pass, and I got a plaque with all the freeways on the side, and all the original OGs from Compton, California, give him a pass. I had some scrolls made, and everybody from all the schools signed them, and gave them to him. Had some shirts made, you understand me? Dre Day, you know, Dr. Dre.   He's an artist.  And he's doing things, you know, that's why I have why I'm here, because it's a lot of people say stuff about California that have no relevance. Okay. You're just looking, or you don't know what we didn't really did. Okay, let me ask you this. Like, when you spoke earlier, and you mentioned Shug Knight, being in California, as long as you've been, did you ever have any actions with Shug Knight? I was there when Shug ran over Terry. I've been very involved with Shug, you know, even before when I got out of prison in 95, we did the original security for Tupac. Okay. And when he did Gridlock, I remember that. And we worked with him in the nation of Islam, worked with Poc until Shug made the disastrous decision to hire the police. Yeah, okay. Why do you say disastrous decision? Cause everything went bad after that. What went good?  Poc didn't deal with no police. Okay. And he didn't like police. So if you listen to interviews, the only two people that really dealt with Poc, one-on-one was Frank Alexander and Michael Moore. Michael Moore is a fireman out along beach. Frank was a ex-seal or dissonance and this and that. So after the disaster that happened in Las Vegas, the only two that opposed anything that the common story was, the truth wasn't told. But the only people that were telling the truth, both of them end up dead. How'd that happen? Wow. You know what I'm saying? But you got all the rest of these suckers that's telling the story, they're alive, they kicking it. But that ain't the truth. That is just my little bitty opinion. But I was there. What happened to why Shug switched from the nation to the police? He was manipulated. But when you see, well, I don't even know him from, the stories are from the TV shows and so forth. But when you see him, he doesn't seem like the type of person who is easily manipulated. You don't think so, huh? I'm just saying. I mean, you don't think so. I don't really know him. So I mean, just looking at him, here's a man with $146 million, end up going to prison, now he got 25 years. You think he ain't easily manipulated? I get it. You know what I'm saying? So Shug is a wreck. Me and Melvin was talking about it today. Shug is the only one that he ain't even a gangster. Ain't rat it on nobody. Everybody rats on him.  But how many interviews you ever heard of Shug accusing anybody of anything? He didn't keep it. He wouldn't even be in prison if he had a followed by instruction that day that that incident happened. But he wanted to keep it 100. And that 100 got him 25 years. Wow. I got him the interview with Melvin. Me and Melvin did with, what's the girls? Solidato Brian and Ice Cube did a thing on Shug. He killed baby Paul Small too fast. And so I was able to get an interview with Shug to a telephone interview. So I don't help dude, I way more need to help me out. But the hype, you know what I'm saying? He keeps feeding into the hype. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, when you talk about some people and the way he had good intentions but good intentions is full in the grave y'all if you don't make them right, huh? That's right. So sometimes you try to save people that don't want to save themselves. Correct. So when he got into the industry, the industry wanted Don Carneas to mentor him. They select his friends. But he wanted to deal with the mob. He wanted to deal with the homies. He took crackheads and made them somebody else. And when the money ran out, the crackheads ran out on him. Wow. Why the American don't say that about Shug? They make black people talk about Shug as they do with everybody else. You know? Good stuff. Man, I just, I think about the times when he had death row and all that, man. That was the time when the whole hip hop scene was actually being really maneuvered by him and Jimmy Alvin, I'm going to be honest with you. And that was the time when they had everything pretty much, they had everything what they wanted it. They had the money, they had the power, they had the success that the American dream so-called. So when you think about that, I just to see it all dwindle away like it did was pretty, it was drastic for the culture. That's right. They say money and fools soon part. Yeah, yeah. So we had all the opportunity. We suggested that, dude, get a factory over on Walnut, right next to the 91 freeway, have death row comptons. But you have out of this whole thing, you have no edifice of death row and comptons. Ain't that sad? Wow.  But white America don't allow you to do anything like that. You can invest with the March of Dimes or Jerry's kids, but you can't invest with black folks. Okay. You know what I'm saying? So it's been a manipulation and we didn't went to sleep on it. Now things have got so bad. It's just like the gang culture. Peru is a culture, it's a street in Compton that just wasn't allowing dudes to just come in just because we live in houses with families. You can't take our coach, you can't take our shoes. We can fight too, you understand? So it was a defense mechanism and the defense mechanism went so bad, we turned into the savages that we were fighting against. Wow. So now you can't tell the difference. Let me ask you this. You and Melvin, y'all roll together. Being a cat from Texas, when you see that, you think about Crips and Bloods, how did you guys end up being, you know, linking up and everything? Because mutually Melvin has a genuine insight for in bettering black people. And I don't say I can in better any way. And we don't say that because he formerly was Crip, you formerly was Blood. Yeah, he Crip, he's Crip. I know I'm a Pyru. Pyru. It's a difference. Okay, I don't know the difference. What's the difference between a Pyru and Bloods? Bloods rule the streets of LA. Pyru's the world. Mathematically, Pyre factor. Okay, so how do you guys end up linking together? How do you end up? Captain Shahid had asked me to do a speaking engagement. I had seen, I guess when Melvin first got out, he did a bookside. I guess, man, when was that first slave ship? 97 after I got out on this device. Right, so I went down to this, I'm kind of black cultural, you know, I'm still got this. So I go down there and I bought one of his books. You know, I bought the book, came home and read it. Then shoot, like five years, about five years ago, we met again at Inglewood High School to talk to some gang members. And we were talking, his partner brought him, I came with Captain Shahid and we got to discuss and this and this and that. And I'm like, right, yeah, I know you. I said, man, I bought your book. Wow. And so that's, you know. So y'all never seen each other. I knew each other before that. No. Wow. That's crazy. No, it ain't crazy. He's from LA, I'm from Compton. Okay, so y'all don't, never cross back. It's a big place. Yeah. So, but, okay. We have an age difference too. Correct. So when he was, when he started doing, he was doing, I was already in prison. Okay.  So, so at the end of the day, being that you guys represent two different parts of the gangs, when people seeing you guys together, when you would do different things together, did it help the gang culture in California? No. No, not at all. Not at all. How do we, how can we, how do we make a better way? Like the gap that you was talking about bridging for, you know, like when you came home and everything was kind of in a disarray. How do you, how do you pretty much bridge those gaps for our youth? For the, I don't know. Don't get me to the line. I can tell you all these, I can tell you all these poetic theories that I have. Yeah. But it's just like me and Melvin was talking earlier about these, it changed this intervention stuff. So we've been doing it.   So now your whole complexion or intervention, we've been having intervention for 20 years. It ain't stopped no murders. Wow.  You already did. Did I? Go ahead man. So, but you looking at a dude, and I don't know you personally, but I know his work now. You know what I'm saying?  They didn't know what a fork spoon was from a salad fork or this and that. He set them down and did something. Do you know how that impacted them kids life? You can give a nigga a book bag and this and that. You'll give him some draws and some socks. That's what he need. You know what I'm saying? So when you do a rolling Curtis the 30s, the feds had to come get them cause them dudes start buying houses in the neighborhood to keep the Mexicans from buying them. And they start having them. You had a problem with them? They would have the crackheads come cut your line.  Now they became friends to the old people. Not old people wasn't writing on them no more. So the LAPD had them all indicted and sent them to the feds. Wow. One of Melvin's OG homies, Michael Conception. You know, I probably heard of Michael. He got the Michael Conception Foundation.    We didn't know nothing about money. You know what I'm saying? I tell people all the time, when I grew up, it was a thing called the millionaire in the 50s. And my mother and my grandmother used to watch it every day. A man would come up in a long limousine and he would pass out a check for a million dollars.  She said, Marvin, go sit on the porch and see if you see the millionaire. I'd be sitting at my partner's car. I can't go nowhere right now. I'm waiting for the millionaire. So in knowing that, it kept in my mind. In 1978, I spent $1.5 million in nine months. By 1980, I was broken in the penitentiary for 10 years. Right now, if you have a million dollars and start off on Wilshire and Crenshaw, by the time you get to Wilshire and Cannon, you broke, you owe somebody some money. So you can spend a million dollars now, today, in a day. Yeah. In the 50s, they said it was a lifetime. So do you, when you look at just the way that different things are happening as far as the music industry and the things that influence our youth, is there any hope for the future? That's why rap music is so controlled. We was in, my artist had a record. It says, she's a virgin too. And he's talking about all these exotic girls, just because they wear this lavish, they not hoes. You know what I'm saying? Warner Brothers told him he couldn't put that record out because it was too enticing to elevate black women. They didn't say that. But they said, their quote was, we don't want any music over a first fourth grade mentality. Wow. And you look at rap music, ain't none of it elevated.   Wow. A fourth grade mentality. Wow. Grown people don't talk, why we can't remember raps because we left that mentality. You have to have a room temperature IQ to know a rap record today. Wow. How do we reach the youth who are caught up in the situation with rap and just the way that things are articulating through our youth today?  I don't preach, I walk to walk. I show youngsters that I'm a homeowner. Got my own car, don't make me no, and all the time I did in prison, when I shouldn't have made it, when I was sharing it, Marv, when I was the massacre, now I turn around, but everybody didn't get that kind of blessing. You feel what I'm saying? So it's not about, well, man, you got a testimony. Going to prison is just like flunking the third grade 20 times. Wow. It ain't no bad, cause I gave up on life. The testimony is somebody that stayed on the street, got married, stayed in the neighborhood and never ratted on nobody and still legitimate. That's a, how did you grow up in Compton and never go to jail? Wow. And you're still good with the homeboys.  He was relevant in the neighborhood. Wow. I found out from Shawty Bang, he was rapping with them, Young Peron, all of these hymn problem, all of these dudes was like straight little gang members. What about YG, YG was not in the mix of that? YG is actually from Paramount. Okay. His aunt stayed in treetops, but these people need labels. Okay. Not taking nothing away from YG, you know. But he didn't go to our schools. Okay. He didn't hang in our neighborhoods. He just ripped it. Kinda like, you know. Yeah, on the music. Yeah. But then they ain't giving back. Wow.  Yeah. All these dudes was claiming Pyrrhus, Chris Brown, all of these other dudes that using the label and not one studio for people to go do rap at, but you'll spend $25,000 in a strip club. I mean, we getting used, not used, misused. Wow. How you use, you can't use a cracker's name and they don't get paid for it, huh? So how you use Pyrrhus?  Nick, a check in. Let me ask you this. So with everything that you've seen, you're 71. Yeah. And you've seen this whole thing evolve from to what it is today. Do you, are you okay with where it's at? Or do you feel like it should be, we should be in a better state? For the gang violence and the stuff that happened with the guys who are still out there today active. And you asked, could you repeat that? I'm just saying, how do you feel about where it is today? I feel, I feel miserably sad that in 50 years of being active, that we have nothing to show for it. We didn't went backwards. Wow. When it was just Pyrrhus and everybody knew where they buried the dog in the backyard. And now we got all these people coming from other places claiming and you have nothing. That's a business that failed, huh? Wow, yeah. So for me to see these youngsters claiming something and we got a battle right now with fruit town and tree tops.  You can't even go to a function and these two get together and this, what happened, most of these dudes weren't even born when this, this mishap happened. But they repping something cause he said it.  We don't do this. Why? They right across the street from each other. You got family members that's related. We all related some kind of, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that's a, it's just different from what we do in the South, of course. But just to see that, my cousins, they're definitely, I've taken her over there and off Crenshaw. You remember I took you over Uncle James? I've been there all the life. In 70 years, my uncle James used to have fishing, fishing chip or whatever down in all the restaurants.  And basically, man, I seen it and I would see the way they were when they would come to Texas. And it was just a different mindset on life. You know what I mean? Right. A little bit faster, of course, cause country laid back. But still, you know, cause you got killings everywhere, but it's just the strategic way it's done up there versus the way it's done here. But see, you gotta understand, Texas is just Texas. You see, y'all in Texas and y'all do Texas stuff. Correct. California is a transit state. Everybody can't make it in Texas. They try to come to California to do better.   You feel what I'm saying? I get it. And so you got all of these people that come from all over the world, all over from Louisiana, Mississippi, that came there, they wanna be rappers, wanna be movie stars, go downtown and get robbed, took all their money, they're too embarrassed to ask their mama, can you send for me? And they live on the street. Oh, you have freak accidents like Jamie Foxx who come and put a staple out of Tarot, Texas, who get that respect and put that work in to where he's recognized in California right now. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but he ain't been to Compton still. He don't come to Compton? No, Jamie ain't been to Compton. I know, I don't know the demographics like that. Well, I'm telling you. So when you look at it though, and then now vice versa, just to stand up for the fact that Texas is where our neighbors just moved from California for better, you know, because of the finances in the way that Compton live in here. Okay, and they're runaways. Is that what y'all call them? They're runaways. If you can't make it in Cali, you can't make it nowhere. Well, I'm coming here, this is cheaper. Well, the same $2 that you're making here, the $20 you're making there, but you're paying $4,000 a month for rent. Here, it's $800 a month. So if you couldn't manage that money that you was making paying the $4,000, eventually, because now here it is again, a lot of people come to Texas and a lot of people come back to Cali. Mm, yeah, I would say, I can't say the transition, I don't know the people for as that didn't work back, but the ones that I'm dealing with now that are here was actually had a few over the last night. Matter of fact, I got with my crime partner. He down here? Yeah, we started selling PCP in Texas, in Houston, and we went to prison, went to Huntsville, and he's in Arlington right now, got a big old pretty house, that had been $2 million in California. Correct, correct.  Yeah, correct. You dig what I'm saying? I'm Cali, my uncle. My uncle went up there and he did pretty good. So it's just different strokes for different folks. You know what I mean? Because my uncle ain't never left. And he, she see him at his shop when we go up there, so he just never, he never came back.  We got a gang of people coming to America, but they ain't many of us leaving. Correct. You know what I'm saying? We ain't trying to go to Africa and live. If they gave me a boat, shit, I'd sell it. He ain't going to Africa. No, hell, the Africans ain't doing good. Wow.  You don't have your own or you don't carry with your diamonds and you still got five wives with a hut that don't even have a door on it. You know, so you ain't doing that. We all, we got microwaves, 60 and stream TVs in California and they own food systems. Wow. So when you look at, because Hollywood actually, Atlanta's doing real good with the, we went down about a Tyler Perry studio.  Okay. Do you see the opportunities changing the way that technology and the way things have moved now? In technology, and like you say, the relevance of the South is that y'all still holding a black base. We lost our tow hold in California. You know what I'm saying? We're damn near invisible. We don't know who we are. You know what I'm saying? Wow. So we don't have that camaraderie and Atlanta's doing it. But still and all, East Crackers still running y'all. Correct. You got a problem right now with the abortion shot. You got a problem with the voting. You know what I'm saying? So all these big things you're doing for the real stuff that's causing your life, y'all are acting on it. You feel what I'm saying? So this cracker still controlling the mouth of the South is still, that's what I learned when at first place I ever been out of state from San Quinoa. My first trip, 1977 was Houston, Texas. Okay. And I thought it was Griffin Park. I had never seen that many trees and that much quiet. Yeah. And when I got here, I learned something I never knew before. I grew up seeing the racists and the prejudice and the dogs and then I would never go to the South. But I found out that there was a difference between racism and prejudice. You have a right to have a prejudice.  That's my right, keep it to myself. So white people in the South, if they don't want blacks to do something, they just make this for you. Go, you can't come on post revokes. So we're gonna make Bel Air for you. In California, they just start redlining you.  So I learned the difference between racism and prejudice. Or they say a white man speaks with forked tongue. You ever thought about why they called California Southern California, we're on the West Coast? Because every peck of wood that didn't want integration, they came to California and started making laws and started being judges and they invented racism. So that's the mouth of the South Southern California. Wow, so yeah, man, I tell you, man, we love you brother and just for sure and with us, man. I know this won't be the last time we coming up to Cali again. I'm gonna get to talk to you often to be honest with you. I'm gonna try to if you have me. Man, you know people love to talk. But yeah, like I know last time we was up there, man, and just being able to, just the energy and the way that your character is, man. It was a blessing to be invited in and just the love you showed us, you know, just coming over there, you and Marvin and, man, I didn't forget it. You know what I mean? I appreciate it. I just thank you guys, man, and I'm, hey man, you got anything else for Marvin? Say, man, we love you brother. All right, y'all talk to me already. No, no, no, no, we got some more to do, but hey, it's been another great segment of Boss Talk 101, man. All right.


Okay, we're back. This is Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org and we're live at VMworld 2011. This is Silicon Angles continuous coverage. We're inside theCUBE. I have two great guests here with me. I'm pleased to share their knowledge with our audience, Prasad Rampali who's the senior vice president of EMC's solutions group and Mark Lesher who is a director of the virtualization practice in that group. Gentlemen, welcome. Thank you. Thanks for taking your time out to join us and VMworld 2011, the tech industry event, the enterprise IT economy, I've called it. So let's start, let me actually start with Mark if I may. Mark, what are you guys showing at the event and the solutions group?  What's the action like? Well Ashley Dave, we're showing quite a lot over at the EMC booth. We have a lot around virtualizing mission critical applications. A lot of this is work that's done on the latest version of vSphere 5.0. So a lot of the performance, the million dollar IO work. Again the team there can talk about the testing that we did as well as some of the work around VAI integration. In addition to that, we're also showing some demonstrations of the vCloud director with workflow and the orchestrator. And what that allows us to do is allows us to automate some of the workflow provisioning tasks that a lot of our large customers are looking to try and do today. Great, Prasad I wonder if I could come to you and ask you to, we talked about this in the past in the queue, but I wonder if you could refresh our memory on the solutions group that you run. You've brought a new vision, a new energy, taking it to the next level if you will. What is the charter, the solutions group, and talk a little bit about what you're doing there? Yeah thanks, that's something I wanted to address. The charter of the group is to really deliver game changing solutions that differentiate a lot of our core storage technology and the emerging big data and cloud related technology capabilities. And central to that is really addressing endemic pain points in the hybrid cloud space, right? There are two or three of them that are well known, so I'll just touch on them briefly. The first as you would expect is this whole focus on end to end trust, on how you enable the movement of data as well as your core computing applications in a service provider cloud and ensure that you don't compromise on data integrity and the core security and compliance requirements. The second is quality of service. How do you ensure that as you move your applications and workloads to a public cloud or a service provider environment, you don't compromise on your core SLAs to your customers and you continue to hold to that. And lastly, the real focus on ensuring that from the time you have a need for a given application to be run in a public cloud, you can do that in minutes and seconds versus take a week or a month, which is onboarding, right? And so ensuring that these kind of pain points are met in a simple fashion is what we're focused on around game changing solutions. So as you know, the marketing always leads the deployment and we've heard a lot about cloud, private cloud, public cloud. I mean, it's a lot of cloud action going on. When we talk to the customers in the Wikibon community, they're most are pursuing a cloud strategy. They're starting to get on the curve, but they're not sold on the hybrid cloud yet. They're concerned about that. You mentioned several of these concerns. So there's a lot of hand-holding that has to be done and a lot of services that have to go into this. And can you talk a little bit about what you're doing in particularly that service's angle? Do you bring that to bear in the solutions group? Do you take advantage of that? Do you bring that to market? How does that all work? Yes, I'll take the lead and I'll let Mark also talk about the specific work we're doing in that space. Our approach to this is if we can't theorize on how you build a hybrid cloud, we have to actually go build it ourselves. And so what we've done is we've created service providers centric labs and we're working with well-known service providers as co-participants in the lab where we take their specific OSS, BSS context, the specific applications that they want to offer as a service and ensure that we can actually ring that out as a reference architecture end-to-end with our core storage environments. And so we are starting off with compute as a service, backup and recovery as a service, and VDI as a service as a three primary solutions that a lot of the customers are asking for. And the service providers are obviously trying to provide that post-haste as they move up the stack, right? So we are really ringing out a lot of detail behind these three stacks, and I want to have Mark tell you maybe how we are doing that. Yeah, so it was compute, backup and recovery in VDI. VDI as the lead vehicles, but we are also looking at healthcare vertical, enabling patient care imaging as a service. They're looking at oil and gas, and last but not the least, and Flirgil from NISI Tech will come and talk to you about how we are partnering with them and enabling analytics as a service, high-performance data analytics, which is in many ways is kind of the last frontier that we have to enable as a service, given all the issues you have with data. Yeah, I'm interested in that case study, so. Mark, go ahead, fill us in on some of the details. Actually, so carry on discussion around the hybrid crowd. I think there's a lot of the technologies are there today and are coming, and we see that with some of the later two work and some of the data center interconnect technologies, coupled with some of the security products. But I think you're right in saying that today, I think you need a good service provider that's done a lot of work around process and management. So there's a lot of good work that's done out there, and as the automation comes in, as we're starting to see today, it's net new products like BXLAN for security coming out of the Mware, some of the products that we're seeing out of the secure cloud and TXE-type functionality. I think that will then allow us to automate a lot of those functionality that we currently rely on process to achieve. Talk about automation a little bit more. The driver for automation, I mean, obviously, simplicity, there's a cost factor. Is there a quality element as well? Absolutely, and I think once, good process allows you to ensure quality. In automation, good code and good application development, good processing capability allows you to ensure that you have quality of security. So the ability to not only guarantee security, but the ability to then look at compliance and audit that, I think is an important aspect that we don't have today as easily as we can and we'll have in the future. So how do you, or how will you measure that? Well, today, it's a very manual process, and I think what we're seeing now is we're seeing some of the new security products that are coming into play that will allow us to go out, look at environment, take the red measure against the set of policies and expectations, and then report back compliance figures on that. So I think there's a lot of interesting technologies that are going to come out there, and I think that will help bridge the gap for customers who are a little bit concerned about how to cloud as we move forward. Yeah, just to add to this, you know, the quality cannot be done as patchwork. It has to be ingrained in the design in the core architecture. And if you take a look at security, right, the biggest issue we have with asserting security is how do you establish the root of trust? It is well known that the operating system, the application layers cannot be the basis of the datum for the root of trust because they are eminently hackable. And frankly, the only place you can go to to establish that root, I believe, is in the hardware, right? This is where we are working with Intel, where from their core instruction set enabled at the microprocessor level and the chip set, we can do a measurement through this technology called TXT, which is trusted execution. And we are integrating our core RSA product environment by which we authenticate to the hardware and do the measurement and then say, hey, the virtual machine is bona fide, therefore the application can be trusted, and then we let the application run as part of the authentication process. And getting at this deep rooted integration with establishing the right principles of how you establish trust is an example of how we think we'll design in quality versus checking it after a post facto and saying, hey, we have quality or not. By the time it's, the deal's done. Now, you mentioned a number of different types of solutions, compute, backup recovery, VDI, healthcare, analytics. Are these all hybrid cloud, what you would call hybrid cloud solutions, or is it a mix? By definition, we are looking at implementing first in the private cloud environment, but each of these reference architectures, we want them to be multitenant enabled, and we want them to be exported to a hybrid cloud environment, i.e. work on the wide area network, enable live migration and things like that, bursting and so on, that we want to demonstrate in the hybrid cloud. And so the progression is you're starting with the private cloud, prove it in the private cloud, and I presume you've done this for all of these solutions that we're talking about. All three of them, yeah, today we've done that in the private cloud space. Yeah, it's a compute, backup, recovery, and VDI. And the NICI story as well, right? The NICI story is still unfolding, so I'll let Virgil talk about it, but we are really looking at enabling analytics as a service, and the first part of that is really ensuring that we can stand up a analytics implementation in a service provider environment, which we have to do at this point. We are working through that. Okay, so we're clearly, where are we in the private cloud deployment today? Are we there, it's hardened? You can prove that, customers can go and kick it and try it and deploy it, is that right? We believe so, yeah. Yeah, for those three. For those three, yeah. And I'll let Mark speak to it. We actually have a very good demonstration of VDI and the benchmarks in our booth here, right? Where we can show that we can essentially look at a network boot storm that can be contained in, I think it's 30 seconds or less across 5,000 desktops. Okay. And so we've proven that stuff, right? At a level where we think it is scale. Now we are taking it to the hybrid cloud space and saying, can we enable that same level of performance and scalability where we leverage cash, where we leverage link clones and various technology elements in the private cloud? And can we demonstrate that as a service in a multi-tenant environment in the public cloud? So. Great. Did you want to add anything to that, Mark, or? I think when you go into the hybrid cloud, I think a lot of those pieces are there as well today. We're seeing that with a lot of the implementations that some of our partners are going into service provided space. So I think it's even moved forward comfortably with some of the right partners. But I think as the technology matures and something that comes in, we'll have a much broader adoption next year.  I mean, you're deep now into the private, the hybrid, you have visibility on it, starting to really solve that problem. I mean, I think it's consistent with the data that we showed at the top. Anyway, we fully expect it. This is really going to take off. One of the things we've been looking at is understanding the data. That seems to be a really important thing for users, like the interdependencies across the application. I mean, is that something that you're focused on? Is that the right area for us to be focused on as observers? What are your thoughts on that as far as enabling the hybrid cloud specifically? Well, I mean, that's obviously, the interaction of data is very important, especially if you're bridging your private cloud to a public cloud. So obviously you need to progress in a very intelligent manner. You need to understand your applications, especially if you're going to go in an active act environment, versus more of an outsourcing out to a hybrid cloud model. But I think that's been the same rule we had years ago, which is you have to understand the interdependency of data. If you're going to back it up, if you're going to migrate it, if you're going to control it. Is it fair to say that the greater the interdependencies across the application portfolio, the greater the complexities, and those will be the last to go into the hybrid? Or is that not the case in your opinion? I think in many cases it will depend. I think the first instinct to answer is yes. I think people tend to look at the lower hanging fruit and what can I, the software development, what can I push out into the hybrid plainly? But I think there's a very compelling case for some of the critical applications that are very well containerized, where you know what the dependencies are and you're looking for either greater performance, greater high availability, or greater burst workload capability. I think those very particular applications can be focused on and taken to a high required, very successfully. And the business case will be there. All right, good. Well, Prasad and Mark, thank you very much for coming inside theCUBE, sharing with us your knowledge. That's what we like to do in theCUBE, and really appreciate you guys taking it. I know you're really busy. Tons of customers here, a lot of partners, so thank you very much. It was great to see you again, Prasad. Mark, thank you very much. Thank you.


Each of our speakers will have about 20 minutes for their presentations. I'm going to encourage you to submit your questions for the panelists to the Q&A that's at the bottom of your screen as we go along. If you wish to communicate among the audience, you can use the chat function also at the bottom of your screen. We'll answer as many of your questions as we can during the Q&A session after all of the speakers have presented. And so let's get right to it. Dr. Ahmad Omran is a cardiologist working with the perioperative echogroup at TGH. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is beloved by our fellows, our anesthesia echocardiographers and our surgeons for his knowledge and his ability to share that knowledge with all of us. Ahmad's a staff cardiologist at the Toronto General Hospital. He has fellowship in echocardiography and at the Toronto General Hospital in 1996 and subsequently collaborated with Dr. Tyrone David in developing intraoperative imaging techniques that support the development of novel techniques for aortic and mitral valve repair. He's the author of landmark papers on TE assessment, the mitral valve anatomy and the suitability for mitral valve repair. He's published more than 35 papers on the role of TE and valve repair and contributed five chapters. He's published chapters in five echocardiography textbooks, including the role of 3D TE in the cardiac operating room. And he's currently working as a staff cardiologist supporting the perioperative echogroup at Toronto General. He's highly regarded as a teacher in echocardiography and runs the quality assurance program for us at TGH. The title of Dr. Omron's presentation is echocardiographic TE assessment using 2D, 3D TE and practical assessment of TR. Ahmed. Okay. My name is Dr. Ahmad Omron. I am a staff cardiologist in the department of anesthesia and pain management in Toronto General Hospital. And I'm working with intraoperative TE team in the cardiac OR to help the team to do the TE during the cardiac surgery. First of all, I want to thank Professor Vegas and Professor Moreno for inviting me for this symposium and giving me this chance to talk about the tricuspid valve. I have no disclosure. The objectives of this talk is identify important views for imaging the tricuspid valve, recognize the additive value of 3D TE in assessing the TV and review the assessment of TR. The tricuspid valve used to be called forgotten valve and pulmonic valve at the same time used to be called unnecessary valve. That was reason that, you know, all time during the collection of technology follow, they were doing valve autonomy for pulmonic valve and they didn't care about the PI. Now we know that PI is a big problem. At same for tricuspid valve, we didn't know the importance of tricuspid degurgitation in the survival of the patient. Even in this survey of EuroHeart survey that was published in 2012, again, they talked about AS, AR, MR and MS. And nothing about tricuspid valve. About 60% of young adults have mild physiologic TR and moderate to severe tricuspid degurgitation affects between 5 to 8 in every 1,000 people in the US, about 1.6 million people in US. This is a very nice paper from Rebekah Han from the University of Columbia about anatomial physiology of tricuspid valve and a very nice editorial by Judy Hang from Mass General that the forgotten valve finally gets some respect. This is a comparison between anatomy of mitral valve and anatomy of tricuspid valve. As you can see, the mitral valve is thicker. The corridor number mitral is less than tricuspid valve is a continuity between aortic valve and the mitral valve, but there's no continuity between pulmonic valve and tricuspid valve. And of course, tricuspid valve most of the time has a 3 leaflet, mitral is 2 leaflet. And in the mitral, all part of the 2 leaflet goes to both papillary muscle. But in tricuspid valve, each leaflet is attached to its own papillary muscle. And as I said, the thickness of the mitral valve is 3 to 4 mm and thickness of the tricuspid valve is 1.5 to 2 mm. That paper-sine leaflet in the tricuspid valve makes the imaging much, much more difficult. That is the surgical view of the right atrium and the tricuspid valve. As you see, the anterior tricuspid leaflet is adjacent to the right coronary cusp of aorta, aortic valve. The septal is adjacent to the non-coronary cusp of aortic valve and to the septum and cornesinos. And posterior leaflet is adjacent to the IVC. Cornesinos drains somewhere beside the commissure between septal and the posterior leaflet. And this is the triangle of the coche. In terms of etiology of TR, 90% of TR are secondary to the left side valve. And 10% are primary. I'm not going to talk about the secondary TR because there's a second talk after me. And it is talking about that. And in terms of the primary TR, I might show you some of the cases during my talk. How to image the tricuspid valve by 2D and 3D TE? We have to always keep in mind this diagram. This is a specimen picture showing the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and aortic valve that is wedged between these two valves. And so this is at the base of the heart, showing from posterior to the anterior. As you see, this is septal leaflet beside the internal septum and non-coronary cusp. This is the anterior leaflet beside the right-coronary cusp of the aorta. And the posterior leaflet is beside the IVC. This is how the tricuspid valve will dilate. The dilation of the tricuspid valve in secondary TR is from the commissure between antroceptal to the commissure antropostero. This direction. But this is not the direction that we measure the tricuspid annulus in TE4 chamber view. This measurement was done first by Dr. Arifous, a cardiac surgeon from UK and Monte Carlo. If you want to measure the same way that the surgeon measured, we should measure in about 60 degrees the tricuspid annulus. But the one that we are measuring at a zero degree is actually the diameter of anterior and septal. There are some limitations in the imaging of 2D and 3D TE4 tricuspid valve. Imaging of TE4 by 2D TE4 can be challenging as well because of the thin structure and positioning of the TE4 in far field and oblique in relation to the TE4 probe. And low, special and temporal resolution of 3D TE4 are the additional limitations for imaging of the TE4 by 3D TE4. This is two guidelines. One guideline that Americans try to go in 2013 and Society of Cardiac Anesthesia. How we do the TE4? And this is the recent guidelines. It's a joint guideline again between American Society of Cardiac Anesthesia and STS. And this is a guideline mainly decision making in the war. So there are some views that is TE views from the TE guideline. And I want to show you how it looks like in the specimen. So in this view that's a five chamber view, we don't see the tricuspid valve very well because we are cutting at this blue line, dashed line. So we see the aorta, we see the mitral. You might see a little bit of the tricuspid. Okay, tricuspid is a little lower compared to the mitral valve. But if you do a four chamber view, we see the septal leaflet and we see the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve. So that is this blue line. When we do view number 11 and view number 12, that is the midisophageal RV in through out through view and midisophageal modified by cable TV. You can see the TV this way. So the septal leaflet and anterior leaflet are together here inside the aorta. But the other leaflet will be the posterior leaflet. That is this blue line that is cutting during this view. So this is view number 11 and in view number 12. Again, you're showing the anterior leaflet and the posterior leaflet in view number 19 of TE guideline. Trans-gastic RV basal view and number 20 trans-gastic RV inflow outflow view. Again, we see the tricuspid valve here. In the number 19, we see the septal leaflet, posterior leaflet and anterior leaflet. And in number 20, we can see the anterior and posterior. And in number 23 view, again trans-gastic RV inflow view, anterior leaflet is below the picture and posterior leaflet is at the top. This is a very good view again to see the degree of the TR and even align it by Doppler and measure the RV SP. What about 3D has any role? It will add anything to the 2D TE assessment of the tricuspid valve. This is a guideline of 3D. It was published in 2012 and all big names in 3D are there. Roberto Lang, Luigi Badano and from our center, Wendy is there. In this guideline, they recommended imaging the TV mainly by trans-gastic echo because it's easier to get the tricuspid valve. And the view that they showed, we always show the valve in a way that the septum, intertial septum is below the picture. So 3D TE, at least in our center, when I was before here, I was in Saudi Arabia. This is the first view that I could get in 2010, 3 valve or 4 valve together. I was very excited to get this 4 valve together and I always show it because it's very similar to the anatomy specimen. So this valve, mitral is a romantic tricuspid valve is second as well. So that's the reason that it can be shown better. Again, posterior fluid, anterior fluid and the septal fluid and the aortic valve is wedged between tricuspid valve and the mitral valve. So how I get this 3D of a tricuspid valve by TE? Also in the guidelines says it's better to do it at 0 to 30 degree. But the way that I get it, I believe that every valve should be taken in a perpendicular to the valve. And we are in the war always. We know that the view that is perpendicular to the TV is 120 or 130 degree. So this is the tricuspid valve. My first view zoom mode and this will be the 3D zoom that I can get by that view. So IVC is here. Aorta is here. I will rotate this picture. And when we rotate it, you will have this picture. Also, as you see this tricuspid valve here is second. So that's the reason that we have a better picture. So there are a couple of landmarks. Aorta is here below the picture and mitral valve is here. So this is the posterior leaflet. This is septal leaflet. And this is the anterior leaflet beside the RA appendage. This is a surgical view of the tricuspid valve. Again, we have to be careful about the landmark. As I said, anterior leaflet, the landmark is RA appendage. And part of the Aorta may be septal leaflet. The landmark is intertial septum and posterior leaflet. The landmark is IVC. So again, this is the surgical view. Septal leaflet, posterior leaflet and anterior leaflet. Surgeon is standing here. So posterior leaflet is beside the right hand of the surgeon. This is one of the patients that had TR because of the dilatation of the tricuspid valve. So it's a secondary TR. And again, you can see by 3D, we show that there's a large gap at the middle. And that's a cause for TR. That's a gap. And when we did the repair by a ring, you see the gap is taken out. And there will be no TR. This is another case that had a trauma about six months ago. You can see a mobile mass here. This is a papillary muscle that is ruptured. And this is severe TR. This is 3D. Again, surgical view shows the anterior papillary muscle. So the anterior leaflet became flail. And here you can see by this movement. What about TR assessment by echo? Again, 2D and 3D. This is one of the regurgitant jet. Doesn't matter if this is a mitral, but tricuspid is the same. In every regurgitant jet, you should see the three components of the regurgitant jet. That's a flow convergence, venocontractor and jet area. So if you don't have or we don't see the flow convergence very well, it might overestimate the size of the venocontractor. So that's a very important trick that we should be aware of that. So that's how we measure the flow convergence. You have to be careful that because the TR velocity is lower than mitral velocity, you have to bring the Nyquist limit down lower than the mitral one. So the mitral one, we bring the Nyquist limit down to 40 cm per second. But here we have to bring it like 20 cm per second. So this is the venocontractor, however measured. This is trans thoracic view. And in 3D we can measure the venocontractor by 3D as well. Like mitral valve, we can use the pizza in tricuspid valve to quantitate the degree of the TR. But again, we have to bring the Nyquist limit down to about 20 cm per second. This is one of the examples of the patient with a rheumatic mitral valve. This is trans thoracic and rheumatic tricuspid valve. You see the large gap between the leaflets. That's a severe TR, but you don't see the flow convergence. So we might overestimate the size of the venocontractor if you don't see that fellow convergence. That's a Doppler. You see the Doppler has an early peaking. It's a triangular shape. And the velocity is not very high. Because the pressure difference between RV and RA is not very high. It's not very big when we have a severe TR. This is the hepatic vein and IVC. You see IVC is dilated and there's a flow reversal in hepatic vein. And this is a T. You see the transverse, it was much, much better to show the tricuspid valve in this patient. So T, we don't see the leaflet very well. And this is severe TR. This is the TR jet. This is another case of Epstein. You can see the sale like anterior leaflet. And you can see the severe TR. So this is a cone repair. It was done in our center by Dr. Honjo. And you see the valve. He made it like a cone. This is the opening of the cone to the RV. So this is a TV inflow. And this is CDD exactly. It's like a cone. I put the flow flow from RA comes to the inside the cone and goes out from the mouth of the cone. So in summary, echocardiography plays a major role in assessment of tricuspid valve and differentiating between primary and secondary TR. Interoperative T evaluation of TV should focus on anatomy and function as well as physiologic effects on surrounding structures. CDDT has an additive value in defining morphology of the valve and mechanism of TR. However, imaging by CDDT can be challenging as well because of paper scene structure of the leaflets and positioning of the TV in the far field of the probe. So thank you very much for listening and hopefully we can answer to some questions. That's really wonderful. Thank you so much. And, and certainly I'll encourage people if they have some questions to go ahead and put them into the Q&A. And we'll get to them at the end of the of our all of our presentations.


Ladies and gentlemen, the Golden Mics 2018, the RJ of the Year. Can we have the cue card please? Okay, RJ of the Year is my favourite young lady, Malishka Mandolsa. Take handing the mic over to me. Okay, so thank you very much. It's a huge honour to receive the Golden Mic Award amidst everyone in the radio industry. We guys make the city listen. So this is for everyone in this room really. Thank you. It feels great receiving this award among so many stalwarts between Madonna's jacket and Hendrix's guitar and all of that. So thank you very much. I know this is a very astute award. They don't give it away easily. I won this a couple of years ago, more than a couple of years ago, and when I figured, no, no, they do not give the same award, the same radio joke again. So as I know that, you know, I don't know when I'll win this one again, so I'm just going to say a few things. One of them is, someone once told me that I should stop receiving awards like Yash Chopra did, you know, ten years ago.  This advice came to me in the second year of my career. But, you know, it's never enough, especially because it tells you what it is. It's an appreciation. And this year has been particularly remarkable, as you know. So I feel very proud coming here to receive this award. Yes, yes, you can clap. You're my team, you can clap. The rest of you can as well. I want to thank the radio industry really for being born, for just being there because some of us wouldn't know what to do with our careers. Seriously. If the radio industry, if the FM industry, hadn't happened at the time that it did. Also, like this past year, I definitely want to thank my team. I just put up an Insta post saying that what would be greater than a team that, you know, that is fierce and just and believes that radio can do more than what people said. Which is, be in the background and be someone's. I'm so glad because today, through the awards, I've noticed that as an industry, we've come such a long way. Everyone's doing such great stuff. Things that perhaps ten years ago we didn't believe was possible. Ten years ago when we thought that, you know, we had to go there and do some bug-bug and entertain people. And I'm so glad that so many of us are changing that too. Of course, entertain the people and make a positive change. For me, that is my favorite part of radio. I want to thank all of you guys once again because all of you are in this room. Not just Red FM. Red FM, I love you! I mean, how else? I love you! Everybody knows here. But I also want to thank the radio industry because last year, what happened, after that, I know and I believe and I hear that all of you students support as a voice. Because we are a competition to say, you know, but we're not really. So for that coming together and for realizing what we can do together as a power, as a voice that the city and perhaps other cities listen to, I want to thank you immensely. So this award, I do dedicate to Red FM. Yes, thank you very much. But also to the radio industry as a whole because you are we are. Thank you guys.

Patriot Prime here once again with another ToyHacks.com sponsored review. But before we get started, I need you guys to do me a favor. If you're watching this video right here and are not a subscriber of Patriot Prime Reviews, please consider hitting that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. Now, on to the decals. And the set we're looking at in this review is the brand new decal set for the War for Cybertron Earthrise Seekers Skywarp and Thundercracker. This decal set includes two decal sheets on foil backing and one decal sheet on vinyl. So now without further ado, let's take a look at the seekers both before and after ToyHacks decals. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In jet mode, straight out of the packaging, both Skywarp and Thundercracker look amazing. Even though they are the exact same mold, the only difference being their color schemes. Skywarp of course is black and purple where Thundercracker is blue and red. Now taking a closer look at the jet, great molded detail all along the vehicle mode. That looks fantastic. But as far as paint applications, you've got the purple striping along the wings. And really that's about it. You've got the orange translucent canopy here and some silver right there for the intakes. Same with Thundercracker, you've got the painted details along the wings here. Orange canopy and silver details on the intakes. And that is pretty much it for both Skywarp and Thundercracker in vehicle mode before and after. Both Skywarp and Thundercracker get some nice new details and highlights thanks to ToyHacks. We'll go ahead and take a look at Skywarp first. He gets a new purple decal right here in front of the canopy. And I really like how that looks and breaks up all that black. New decals right here on top of the silver and highlight decals right there. Moving on down the jet mode, you've got a warning decal here and warning decals right there behind the thrusters. He also gets new wing accents here and here. And the big difference in jet mode is these new decals right there on the tail fins that break up all the purple and really make that look good. On the front of the jet, he gets new decals right there showing turbines or intakes. And that's pretty much it for Skywarp in jet mode. Taking a look at Thundercracker, it's pretty much the same decals only with different colors. Instead of purple, Skywarp has this black decal there in the front. New decals right here on the silver thrusters or intakes. Skywarp's is blue where, excuse me, Thundercracker was blue where Skywarp has purple. He's also got the warning decals there on the middle and behind the thrusters. And new decals there on the tail fins that is red and white. Highlights on the wings, kind of a dark blue. And he also has the intakes right there on the front. So there's one final look at Skywarp and Thundercracker in jet mode after. In robot mode, straight out of the packaging, both Skywarp and Thundercracker share the exact same molded details just like they did in jet mode. The only difference is the head sculpt. Skywarp here has an open mouth expression like he's yelling or screaming where Thundercracker has more of a smirk. Other than that, the details are exactly the same aside from their collaring. Great molded details there along the chest, translucent canopy right there in the center. Skywarp, of course, has the purple and white striping where Thundercracker has red and white. Moving on down to the lower legs, you got paint applications there for the leg vents and some silver on the feet. But other than that, that is about it as far as the detailing is concerned. Now, I forgot to point out there is a upside down Decepticon logo there on Skywarp which is purple and another purple one there on Thundercracker. Now, Thundercrackers blends in a little bit, so you can't really see that one. But that's pretty much it for Skywarp and Thundercracker in robot mode before and after. Both Skywarp and Thundercracker also benefit from some toy hacks decals in robot mode. We'll go ahead and take a look at Skywarp first. Now, Skywarp does get one extra decal that Thundercracker does not.  There is a couple different options. There's one that's solid black and there's one that has a little bit of red to it that's either his tongue or his throat. I like the red because it breaks up all the silver, so that's pretty cool. He also gets new decals here for his pylons. Now, once again, there is options. I chose the black. You also get silver, but I felt that the black kind of broke up all that a little bit more. He also gets new shoulder decals down here on the waist, waist decals, little decals right there on the forearms, new decals here on the knees, and decals right there on the feet. Taking a look at Thundercracker, pretty much the same decals, only in different colors once again. Up here on the pylons, you also get an option of the black or silver decals. I went with black, like I said, I think it breaks it up just a little bit more. He also gets the decals there on the shoulders, decals there on the waist, knee decals, and foot decals right there. So really nice looking decals that kind of give a little bit more life to these figures. Now, speaking of options, Toyhacks also gives you decals to put underneath the wings in case you want to display your bots with the Decepticon logos right side up instead of the normal upside down logo.  I think that look is really, really cool. I'm also going to add another enhancement to my figures. I recently bought the Non-F Productions Conehead Weapon Set, and now I have these extra black null rays from Dirge and Ramjet that I'm going to give these to. Now, I really like the looks of that. So there you go guys, one final look at Skywarp and Thundercracker after. The Toyhacks decal set for Earthrise Skywarp and Thundercracker really adds some much needed personality to these figures. I love the little subtle decals that really make both these figures pop, both in robot mode and vehicle mode.

A very good friend of mine when I was 16 suddenly didn't come to school anymore, you know And he just stupid accident with his bicycle more stupid it doesn't get but it was like for me like a real my life ended It was as if there was no future anymore, and I couldn't talk to anybody about it and also I I learned there also that mourning in grief is is a very Very complicated thing. Well, I can rationalize it now because I even when I had one person I could talk about it with And but then I realized very quickly he cannot help So I had a morning is something cruel because you have to do it yourself so at the very age very early age I was aware of of Yeah, that there is an end to things and and that you have to learn to deal with that thing and go on because And I can't do that But even now when I when you make me think about it, then it's it's still in me. It's not gone And but so therefore in my work, you know, I don't know how many times I staged people dying And it's a normal thing in theater But but I always give a lot of attention to it once I did a beautiful Movie script from Ingmar Bergman one of the most beautiful films. Anyway, everybody should see it cries and whispers. It's about a Woman that's dying. She's an artist. It's not so clear in Ingmar Bergman's movie became very important in my production And her sisters come there to to be there with her in the pro in her process of dying You know and and my father had just died a year and a half before and of course a choice It was not rational, but it was my mother and my brother one of my brothers came to see the production and my mother of course who was in the In the process.  It was a woman on stage, but it was my father You know, she could she didn't want to see that, you know, that was not the case and my brother my younger brother He immediately saw that he immediately recognized it. It's also the power of theater here I think but also for me It's really death is if you cannot accept that death is a part of your life you life becomes harder. I think


dee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee. You guys got a lot of beds you know? It's a lot of laundry yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six there's two there. Six, seven, eight, nine. Nine beds and you guys are in the big bed again. I count the one beside your bed as two because there's that pillow there that counts as a bed. Well, that's just so they don't go sliding underneath the bed. Oh. It's like a bumper, it's a cushion. Eight dog beds in 860 square feet. We have a dog bed for every 100 square feet. Why are you shaking? Because I found him on the big bed and he knows he's not supposed to be there.  Again and again and again.  Those are for the big guys. Where are they supposed to lay them? They're not in use right now, so I think they can justify it. Mom's got your back. Always. Yeah. These are my boys. My little guys. Today, Britt is officially 17 weeks pregnant baby with a baby. With a baby. With a baby. A human one. A human one. A human baby. We heard the heart beating again last night. Yeah, we heard it at home. We can use our at home Doppler. That's what it's called right? Doppler? Yeah, it doesn't have an accurate reading on the heart rate, but that's okay. As long as we hear it, we're good. We can hear it. So now whenever we feel like hearing the actual heart beat, not just a heartbeat, bear. So we've got some errands to run around town today. It's Saturday, October something or other, October 22nd, 2022. Let's go have some fun. Are you scared? Chevy. Are you scared? You scared? Halloween's coming. Okay. Put these grocery bags out of the way, right? Chevy, what's this up here? What's that? No? No scared? I'm looking for snacks. What if I... Do these all use you? Do you see what he's... Oh my goodness. Who are you? I'm first kissing him. You? What do you think? This guy is ugly. My goodness. I thought Dad was ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. He's ugly. What do you think? This guy is ugly. My goodness. I thought Dad was ugly. Hi. It's coming to be that season again. We're usually big decorators for Christmas time. We're slowly going to start beefing up our Halloween decor as well over the years. Just a little bit this year because we don't really have much money to play with this year. I'm glad. Maybe next year. Okay. Thanks to Brian on TikTok. You guys know Brian? You know Brian. Brian be... Brian not? I don't know. I've shared some of his videos on my Facebook before. He made a TikTok today about how good these are. These are the President's Choice coconut cookie chips. And that they should be outlawed and he's going to run for city council too. Yes. Something like that. He's going to ban these because they're too good and it's true. They're so good. They melt in your mouth. Coconut cookie chips. Canada finally hit the nail on the head with a snap. Gotcha beat America. At least in the cookie department. Yeah, cookie chip. Cookie chip cookie. Oh it's a cookie chip. Cookie chip. We got cookie chips. What do you got? We got our Halloween candy stash here ready to hand out. Not the popcorn us for me obviously. We went a little intense on the candy even though we don't live in much of a Halloween town but we're going to try to encourage it. We're set. We're ready. Bring on the kidlets. Whatever doesn't get given away obviously will be donated to my candy fund for myself. Mostly you. We got just a little kid cat bars. They're little vampires. We got these sour patch candies like these guys. Those are good. And a couple of chalk floors. Twizzlers. Jolly ranchers. Oh yeah. So I asked her if we were going to put these out on the porch and turn them on and remember to turn them off before we go to bed. And apparently I learned something. It's bad luck to light your jack-o'-lanterns or light any Halloween things like this before Halloween. It invites evil spirits if you light them too soon. None of those around here. Nope. I've seen things. And we're too lazy to carve our own pumpkins so we bought these ones. It's not so much about the laziness. It's just not really that much fun when it's two adults. So once the little one wants to start carving pumpkins, heck yeah, mom and dad will get on the board. But until then it's just not fun without little people. So that's where we're at. Britt and I are about to do our nightly heartbeat listen. Thought maybe I'd let you guys listen too. This is what we use to listen. It's a Sonoline B pocket fetal doppler. We've been able to find the heartbeat once with it and that was yesterday. So I'm excited to try again. We got this from Britt's cousins, Ryan and Roma, who also went through the IVF process and had a baby girl. They used this through the pregnancy. Now we're using it. So this is where we listen to it. Britt puts a pillow under her back. A couple under my butt. The dogs stay here for support. They like to hear the heartbeat too. I'm very excited. Just resting here real quick. Give me a quick pat when you're happy. She's going to be excited. Me too. Very excited. Okay. We got this gel, ultrasound gel of Amazon. Okay. So yesterday I found it right in here. I think right around here. Yeah. It was pretty centered. Okay. Try this again.  Ready? It's going to be cold. Yeah. Good? Sure. I can't see it. So I'm going to pull this out of here. Hopefully I can do this. Right. The numbers don't really work. Not yesterday anyways. But maybe today. You want to hold this today? So I can hold the camera with one hand. Okay. Turn down the volume at first. Okay. Ready? I probably put on way too much gel here. Oh well. I'm going to wipe some of it off. Spread it around a bit. It's there. Okay. Ready? It's volume up. Scares me every time you do that. It's hard to find, but once we find it we're good. That's baby's heartbeat. It's not very clear yet. It's almost 40. It loses it. I don't know. This counter isn't very accurate, but we can hear it. As a baby. Can the camera hear it? It's very quiet. Not hurting you? Nope. I hope you heard that. So I have to press pretty hard. I feel kind of bad. It's still pretty deep in there. It's not the most sensitive instrument in the world, but... Also my bladder is not full right now. When my bladder is full it's a better... It sounds better because it actually lifts the uterus out of the pelvis and upward. And out. And that's why you get a better heartbeat if your bladder is full. But I couldn't hold it. And to you people who just subscribed, welcome to Trucker Josh Vlogs. Not just Trucking. Daddying too. And so that's that. Second day we've been able to hear it. It's still very faint with the one that we have now. Like I was saying, it's not a very powerful one. As the baby grows it'll get easier and easier to hear it. It's not medical grade, it's just home grade. Yeah. It looked like we were getting about 140 beats per minute. 144 it was. 144. Yeah, and the baby's heart beats around 150. So... It's close, yeah. So, yeah, it almost picked it up completely. It's still pretty deep in there, right? Like I've told you guys before, I have a very tilted uterus. I know most of you don't want to hear this but it tilts towards my spine. And close to like 30% of women have that. And so it takes longer to rise up than out of my pelvis. Than it does for women with just a regular upright uterus. So she's sitting real deep in there. She or he? She or he, we don't know. We think it's a she, could be a he. We don't know. It's not just trucking. The majority of it will be trucking because I take the camera on the road with me. But the kid is going to be a much bigger part of my life than trucking. So who knows, this might turn into more of a family trucking channel. Well, I still got to go trucking during the week. Trucking Monday to Friday. Come home and family stuff on the weekend. The dogs in old blue won't be as only babies. They'll have a real baby soon, a skin puppy. I was just telling her and her dad and stepmom yesterday that it's not just a new life that's coming into the world. I feel like I'm getting a new life too. Like my life is just beginning. You probably feel the same way even more. I've been waiting for this since I was...  A mommy. Finally going to be fulfilled. No pressure. Life will be completely different. And life will sort of start over a whole new life. We thought it was a new chapter when we got married. Which it was. It was a new chapter. But this is a true turning a page to a new life altogether. We didn't realize when we got married either that it would be a five-year struggle chapter. We thought we'd have babies right off the hop. We didn't realize. We thought we'd have three by now. Oh, for sure. At least a third on the way. But we're happy with what we get at this point. That's what's saying beggars can't be choosers. We'll just take a healthy baby at this point. If we don't get the big family that we wanted, that's okay as long as we get a family. And if you're new, this is an IVF baby. We went through an IVF. We have one more embryo left after this. But hopefully, fingers crossed, we can have our second one naturally. Our bodies will kick in a year and be like, oh, that's what you do with it. Time for bed though. Tomorrow we're heading up north. Further north than I've ever been in Manitoba. Way up there. I've got to take a ferry to get to where I'm going. Apparently it's like an hour and a half ferry ride. I didn't even know this place existed in Manitoba. No offense to anyone who lives there. It's a very small community. So we're going to head up there tomorrow. There should be something interesting and something different. It's not cold up there. In the wintertime, I would drive across the lake to get there. But since it's still summer, the ice obviously hasn't frozen over yet. There's a ferry that we've got to go on. And I'm kind of nervous about that because I've never been up there and I don't like water. Did you mean it's summer? Well, I didn't mean it's summer. October. I'm in denial. I'm in hardcore denial. It's still summertime. The water hasn't frozen is what I'm saying. So we've still got to take the boat to get to this community. There's no way to get there. Except by boat. At this time of year, apparently. Crazy, right?  Or you can get there by plane, I guess. But I can't fly my truck in there. They'd be a little more expensive. I guess a boat is cheaper.


SCP-422 is a large quadruped, 83 cm at the shoulder and weighing 53 kg, though size and weight vary minutely from day to day. SCP-422 is constructed entirely out of large pieces of the bodies of other animals, stitched in place with muscle fiber and trace amounts of cartilage. The creature's major organs appear to be composed of portions of other organs. It has a flat face, with two mismatched eyes. SCP-422's intelligence can range anywhere from that of an average house cat to a seven-year-old child, with the average being that of a five or six-year-old.
