Okay, we're back, this is Dave Vellante, and I'm with Stu Miniman. We're live at theCUBE, SiliconANGLE.tv's coverage of Dell Storage Form. This is day two for us. This is the second year we've done the Dell Storage Form. Last year it was down in Orlando. It was really the first consolidated Dell Storage Form, bringing together equal logic and compelling customers as well as the Dell customer base. Year two, Stu, you know, a lot more polished I think. Last year was great, but this year is really get the feeling that Dell is serious about storage. Not that they weren't last year, but they're really putting forth, I think, a good show for customers. And speaking of customers, we're here with another customer segment. Chris Hansen is a system manager, sorry, at Gordon College up in Wenham Mass on the North Shore. And you're going to go to Fenway with us tonight? Yes, sounds like a great event tonight. Try to hit some homers? Yep, absolutely. You're not from around here, are you? I'm from Minnesota originally, actually, so... I'll be sharpening up my Boston accent as you can see. There you go, yeah. Chris, thank you for coming on theCUBE and welcome. Yeah, thank you. So were you at Orlando last year? I was not at Orlando, no. Okay, well it's pretty convenient for you here. Oh yeah, we're right up here, so it's great to be able to participate in the event. How long have you been a Dell customer? I've been with Gordon College for just about four years now. And Gordon has been using Compellent for about five or six years. Okay, so you were one of the original Compellent customers. They jumped on board pretty quickly, yeah. Yeah, cool. So tell me a little bit about your role there at Gordon. I'm the system manager, so I manage the... We have three data centers on campus. I manage the stores, the replications, backups and recovery, as well as doing a little bit of the application level with managing Active Directory, SQL Exchange, some of the backend pieces to those applications. And we're leveraging Compellent and all three of our data centers. We have cross-site replications set up between those, which has been very effective for us. So you do a little bit of everything. A little bit, yeah. Do you consider yourself an IT generalist or no? Yeah, well we have a few different IT departments at Gordon and we're in the network systems department. So yeah, we're in the broad range of doing all of the backend infrastructure. Do you have a storage admin team or no? I am the storage admin team. Okay, as part of the networking group. Yes, yes. I mean it's somewhat rare in IT, isn't it, that the storage in the... I mean, I've seen certainly network people that look after everything, but you've got a storage admin team inside of the networking group. Right, and absolutely. And just like we saw last night at the keynote, where they're kind of converging, they had a storage admin, their IT admin, their server admin and their network admin bringing those together. And that's really kind of what we're doing at Gordon, bringing those together. And it's really helpful for us to communicate on those levels. Especially when we're introducing technologies like iSCSI, we've got to be really tightly close-knit with networking switches to make sure we can utilize those correctly. So Chris, tell our audience a little bit more about Gordon College. What's the claim to fame and the specialty there? We're a private Christian college. We offer a four-year undergrad degree, and we also have some grad programs as well. And we're in Wenham, Massachusetts. It's a really nice area. Oh, it's beautiful out there. Oh yeah, it's a great, great location. Really nice. We have a couple of little ponds that are exclusive there for our students. We have a 12-to-1 student ratio, so we really try to emphasize small classrooms and giving those tools to the students to be able to get the most out of their education while they're there. And tell us about the IT environment there. So our IT department, we have, like I said, we have three data centers. Our primary data center is in one of our newer buildings that we have recently all physical servers that we just converted over to all being virtual machines running on VMware. But we have three data centers we're replicating across. Most of our applications, all of our tier one applications are in our primary data center. Everything gets replicated to a secondary site, and we're also running a VMware cluster on that secondary site. And then we have a third location that's still on campus, and that's sort of our DR spot, and that's where we're getting a third tier of redundancy, and we're implementing Commvault Simpana for that backup location. So you have three sites all sort of within synchronous distance? Yes. They all have a fiber connection on site. And so the data is all stored synchronously at these, or do you async to the third site? It's asynchronous replication. And synchronous to the second site? We're not doing async, we're doing all asynchronous replication. Are you doing any synchronous stuff locally, or snapshots? We're doing snapshots. So everything, yeah, we're doing 15-minute snapshots locally in our primary data center, and then that's an asynchronous replication to our secondary site. Okay. And are you utilizing the tiering functionality in the propellant? Oh, absolutely, yeah. So we have all of our tier one applications like SQL, Exchange, Active Directory, we want to have those having the highest capacity possible. So yeah, obviously we have those in a tier one structure. And then with the replication typology, we have that replicating down to tier three as those blocks are available to be written down. So I just want to paint a deeper picture if I can. How many physical servers? Physical servers, we were at around 100 physical servers, and then last summer I migrated all those to VMware, so our primary data center only has eight physical hosts. Okay, and then how many virtual machines are you running? About 100 virtual machines, so everything was a complete conversion. Okay, and then the storage is predominantly compelling, all compelling? Yes, all three sites are compelling. How much storage? Primary sites about 25 terabytes. Our secondary site is 15 terabytes, and then our third DL location is 10 terabytes. And you've taken 15 minute snapshots using compelling software, right? Yeah, the compelling data insert replay, not across the board. You know, our tier one applications, we're doing shorter snapshots, and then some other applications we can leverage longer distance snapshots for those. So you basically are offering the snapshots as a service that varies by application? Yes. And then, I want to come back to that actually, and then, okay, then you async it off to the second site, and then how does it get to the third site? So the third site, like I said, we're leveraging Compel & Simpana, and that's actually doing an application. Compel & Simpana. I'm sorry, Compel & Simpana, and that's doing that. Unless Dell made another acquisition that I did. They just announced recently, you heard it here first, no, our Compel & Simpana is our third level of backup, and that's doing an application level backup. So things like SQL where it's actually pausing IO on those SQL databases, and then grabbing that data, it's storing that in our third site. So there's no Commvault on the main site? Commvault is, it's running from that main site, copying it to our third site. Great, okay, so it goes from, so Commvault interacts with the first, the main, the production site, and the third site. Yes. Not the second site. Correct, the second site we're leveraging all your repellent replication. Got it, okay, and then how do you determine the RPO for each app? Is that a discussion that you sit down and have with your constituencies and the quote-unquote line of business? Right, right, so that's actually, every application's going to have some slightly different needs, and largely what we have to do is we're saying what's the core goal of our institution, and what are we trying to accomplish here, what's the most beneficial for us to put our money in. So things like SQL where obviously everything is referencing a SQL database at one point or another, most of our applications are hitting a SQL database. Things like your public website, obviously we need to have that be one of our most critical, have the most uptime on that machine, which is also leveraging a SQL database to provide all of this content. So we're kind of making a couple decisions of what are the most important pieces here that are the most visible, that would hurt us the most if they had an outage, and kind of going from there. Obviously Exchange, we just recently migrated to a hosted Exchange environment, so we're having a little bit less pressure on the Exchange servers, but obviously a local Exchange environment, that was a very high, highly noticeable event if there's anything that needed to pause operations on those Exchange servers. How's the hosted Exchange working for you? It's been excellent. We migrated about two years ago to a hosted Exchange solution, and it's been a really nice solution. So the college doesn't want to be in the business of managing email? We're managing it, we're not hosting it ourselves. Yeah, hosting email. Chris, I'm wondering from the student population, how does IT get involved with the storage of working and things like mobile technology kind of exploding? What's the impact been on your environment? Oh, yeah, absolutely. So with being in a college, students, they want to, we're doing bring your own device, obviously every student wants to bring every device they can think of. Our joke is kind of your average student has a cell phone, a laptop, a PDA, a tablet, their Xbox, their Wii, their PlayStation, everything, and they need it all on the network. Oftentimes they want it on the wireless network. Sometimes they can use a wired connection. So obviously that's hitting us with an impact, not just for storage resources, but network resources as well, getting all those devices connected. So we're doing a few security policies to make sure that all those devices are in compliance with our network before they can join, and that we have a policy key that kind of does a quick scan, make sure there's never a virus on their machine, make, you know, confirms that running the appropriate updates for the operating system, that sort of thing. And I'm just making sure, yes, we want them to all have their devices here. We want them to enjoy their devices while they're on campus, but we want it to be a safe place for all of them at the same time. We don't want viruses spreading from one device to the other just because of something that we could have prevented in the first place. And to clarify, the backup is all snapshot-based, disk-based backup? Is that right, or do you have... We're doing an application-level backup with Commvault and then we're also going to use it as just going to be the snapshot for applications. Okay, and the target for the Commvault is what? That's just an ice-gozzy storage solution, it's made by Drobo, and that's a separate solution that we're using. Okay, so you just pick a...  Yeah, it doesn't need to be anything fancy, and then Commvault kind of works its magic. It can do de-deplication to that target. And not doing any tape? I've had a lot of discussion around Apashore. Is that something that you're looking at? Yeah, this was the first that I've actually seen anything in depth about that, but absolutely. So why would that interest you? If you're already doing snapshots and you've already got sort of the situation covered, what... I don't know if you've looked at it closely enough, but I'm interested from a practitioner's point of view, what more value would that bring than what you're doing today? Well, I think just kind of seeing the convergence of seeing if it can be provided from our storage array, and if it's coming from that aspect, having that data awareness can really be beneficial. Right now, we're starting to see a little bit of that convergence with Commvault and Dell, but seeing that come right from Dell as a source, I think, is really beneficial. And in that instance, you'd maintain Commvault for the DR piece? Well, it depends on... I mean, I know it's hypothetical. Right. It would depend on what's involved at the time, what the offering is. But I imagine we'd still use Commvault as that last tier of archival since that can offer the de-deplication and a final backup point. So it's the integration that appeals to you? Absolutely. Is that right? If it were just a point product, you probably wouldn't be as interested. Right. Well, absolutely. That's the thing. Seeing that it's integrated, like they were talking about last night, having an end-to-end solution, and just seeing that all of this product can be combined for the central purpose of providing that solid structure. What's the value of that to you specifically? You know, from an implementation standpoint, that's one of the highest rankings. It's just how well... When you're going to implement something for the first time, how well is it going to share and react with the rest of the resources we have? So that's huge. Being able to know that this is already tested, it's tried and true, it's working together with these other components that we already have. That's a huge piece when you're looking at implementing a new product like that. So, Chris, you've lived through the transition of Compellent being acquired by Dell. Yes. And understand you have really good experience with the co-pilot support that Compellent has. Can you give us a little bit of flavor as to what your experience has been kind of before, during, after the acquisition? Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, co-pilot has been one of the best resources. One of the reasons that we're just rock solid with Compellent, why they're such a great resource for us. Co-pilot has been anytime anything goes wrong. They're on the phone. They're saying, hey, did you know this just happened in your environment? If we spot something we call and say, hey, what can we do to get this worked out? An interesting story. My very first night as a system admin at Gordon, our primary sand ran out of space, went into what they call conservation mode. This is my very first night, 2am after I had just done one complete day as a system admin. And obviously I'm like, okay, what the heck do we need to do? How are we going to work this out? The guy that called me, his name was Bill, called me at 2am, just said, do you know this is what's going on? And I said, this is my scenario. I'm not familiar with Compellent, what I need to do to make this change, but I'd love to work with you. He stayed on the phone with me and he said, we'll work through this together. We're going to get there end to end until we had everything worked out. It was a matter of just working out a couple of replications that we had targeted more than they needed to be. But it would have been really easy for Bill to just call up, do his 24-7 monitoring, say, Chris, did you know there's a problem? You better get that worked out. Have a good night. You could have emailed you. Yeah, I could have gotten an alert. I could have gone to the next day once there was a catastrophic failure. You know, there were so many possibilities of how he could have handled that. But for him to call up and say, I'm not hanging up on the phone until we get this worked out, you know, that's a solid investment, being able to leverage Copilot in that way. They really just stuck with it until this solution had been achieved. So yeah, that's where we're really, I mean, just thrilled about the support that Copilot can offer. Has there been any change since the acquisition of Dell? So the change, yeah. They're obviously hiring a lot of new people. We're seeing a little bit of that where we're getting, you know, different tiered structures based on who you're talking to. One of the nice things, though, is with that acquisition, you're also seeing that Copilot is offering, you know, that the Dell support as a whole is offering more, providing support for more resources that we have. So for example, our QLogic HBAs can also be supported are, you know, we're using brocade fiber switches in our environment, seeing that those support structures are also involved with Dell now has been very helpful. Seeing those come together a little bit. Whereas before, you know, if you have an HBA fail, you need to call QLogic or Emulix. You need to get a hold of that provider. If you have a server fail, you need to call that company. You need to get in contact with each of those. Seeing them converge is really helpful. Having one central location for that support has been very helpful. What are the top items on Dell's to-do list? You know, Michael, let's say you're sitting down with Michael Dell. Chris, just talk to me. I'll get it done. One thing that I love, they touched on this a little bit last night was doing some caching at the server level. They were talking about eliminating that bottleneck between the storage array and the server itself. That's where you need to see an end-to-end solution. You can't just have any server provider with any storage array provide something like that. So having Dell, they touched on that a little bit of actually eliminating that bottleneck between your storage array and your server on a solid-state disk as close as you can to that processor, to that ESXi host in our case. Is that right? Project Hermes, I believe. That's what the Greek god of IT is. So yeah, that was really nice to see them touch on that. Only if you're providing an end-to-end solution like that, if they're behind the storage and behind the server itself, could they provide something like that. So that's exciting to see that. That would be a really nice piece and one of the things on the forefront of our agenda is how can we get that performance to a level that it needs to be. And especially in a tuning structure, how can you get those certain SQL applications to have that really fast read-write capabilities that they need. Chris, my last question. Lots going on here.  Big changes going on in technology. For a lot of people, it's a complicated situation. Trying to get done, trying to deal with data growth, trying to figure out how to protect data, secure it, deal with cloud. How would you summarize what you would advise? What I would say is really embrace some of the changes that are occurring. There's several approaches to how you can implement a cloud structure, implementing a virtual infrastructure. But the resources, especially when you can look at a company like Dell and get support from all of these angles, are really leveraging those using our vendor Winslow Technology Group implementing with them has been an excellent resource as well. But yeah, taking a look at that and just seeing how you can leverage some of these great resources that are coming up, VMware has been a great solution that we've been able to implement and really cut down some costs and implementation times on those. So that's been excellent. We're excited to see where things are leading and we're glad to be partnering to be continuing on this journey with Dell. Excellent. Chris Hansen from Gordon College, thank you very much with your journey. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. All right, keep it right there. This is Silicon Angles theCUBE. We'll be right back from Boston right after this.


Is it possible for a movie sequel to develop 10 years after the first to actually be good?  Zombieland is a short but sweet cast of characters, all being referred to as states that relate to them, instead of their actual names. Jesse Eisenberg plays the main protagonist, Columbus. An awkward, nerdy college kid turned survivalist thanks to his list of 30 rules. And he more than doubles that number by the time the sequel hits theaters. Columbus is at his best when bouncing dialogue off Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson. Tallahassee is a redneck badass whose primary weakness is his love affair with Twinkies. Joining them on their road trip across zombie-infested countryside are Wichita and Little Rock, sisters who are experienced in the art of the con. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin have a believable rapport, and it's very enjoyable watching them constantly swindle our unsuspecting leads. For the majority of the film, it's these four that we ride along with, and honestly, that's more than enough to carry the picture. They all come from different walks of life, and the different age gaps lead to some fun little moments. Amber Heard shows up briefly in a flashback as a potential love interest turning into a pretty bad first date. I say pretty bad because even zombie Amber Heard is nothing to scoff at. Then there is, of course, the completely out-of-left field extended cameo by Bill Murray. This was an amazing little section of the film that was thankfully kept secret for a lot of people. That was a curious little scamp how the sequel was going to top this. Thankfully, the end credits do the job. They do more than the job, actually, and I'm not going to ruin it since Zombieland 2 Double Tap is still very fresh in theaters. Zombieland 2 brings a few others to the party, most notably newcomer Madison. This bubbly blonde could have easily been an annoying stereotype with cliche dialogue and overplayed characteristics. And that is exactly what she is, and it works amazingly well. Seeing this perky, somewhat naive, mall rat interact with our familiar cast adds one more level of humor to everything, especially when that love triangle forms early on in the picture. Rosario Dawson, Thomas Middleditch, and Luke Wilson show up around the halfway mark for some fantastic moments, which I'll dive into a bit more later in round two. Zombieland doesn't wade in the minutiae of things. It gets right down to brass tacks. There are passing comments about what happened before Zombieland. Mad cow disease turned mad human disease turned mad zombie disease left only a few people intact on Earth. Columbus has phobias, a condition, and is generally the last dude you would think could make it in this new world. Hell, he'd be the first to acknowledge this, and he gives us his process of how he just makes it through the day. Furthering his narrative is a clever use of typography that drives his points home. As others join up with him, we learn they all have an end goal to hit. But like so many other stories out there, we learn that it's not about the destination, it's about the friends you've made along the way. Eventually they decide to stick together after ending up at a carnival from hell, though once beloved Pacific Playland. The sequel all these years later thankfully keeps the team intact, at least for a little while. It's been made clear that years have passed and this group has gotten better than ever at staying alive. Little Rock's not so little anymore, and she's yearning for someone to connect with, on a more physical level, to catch my drift. Wichita is also starting to get cold feet when it comes to sticking around for the long haul, so they once again blow out of dodge and get into another mess of trouble. The plot is somewhat familiar to the first as it is another rescue mission. There are also plenty of nods to the 2009 film, but nothing feels stale or familiar in a lazy way. I had a blast with this movie much like I did in theaters when seeing the original. It takes concepts that worked and runs with them. Director Reuben Fleischer and the three writers attached to the screenplay are all well aware that zombies have been pretty played out.  Double tap, much like its predecessor blends action, humor, and some surprising emotional moments very well. I think my biggest compliment though is the fact that both these movies are under two hours long. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. They don't waste time trying to be something epically large that takes three hours to tell. They're fast, enjoyable flicks, easy to watch and quote, and plus, BILL FREAKING MURRY! There's a slickness and polish to these zombie flicks that separate it from the pack. Typically these types of movies are gritty, dark, grainy, and gross. And there are plenty of those nasty moments here and there, particularly in the sequel with multiple projectile vomit shots, but it's got a high 4k gloss to it all. It's not a nice sheen to that vomit. The inventive kills blended with some awesome Metallica songs go a long way, especially when it's shot in beautiful slow motion. Zombie clowns, zombie ninjas, Kills of the Wii, Kills of the Year, a fantastic cast and a well-spirited feel to the films. Make these two bad boys ones I can watch on repeat. Let's wrap this up. I pulled the Movie Feud's audience on my YouTube community tab at Adam Does Movies. I suggest subscribing to the channel to be part of the conversation, get notifications when new videos come out. There's a bell or something you can hit. I don't know. I don't think it works. Anyways, zombie land 2 received only 14% of the votes, making the original king with 86%. There's no love loss here, although for me the second film is I think of equal value, if not maybe even better than the first. But you can't have one without the other, and the sequel definitely relies on all the clever stuff the first one did. I respect the outcome. And with that, I bid you adieu. Thanks for watching, and remember, this is more than just reviews, this is Movie Feuds. And hopefully we don't have to wait 10 more years for another zombie land movie. And God, I hope there isn't another attempt at a TV series. That was brutal.


This is dialysis tubing and a dialysis tubing is a membrane that if we put a compound inside like water or molasses if the molecules are very large they can't pass through the little tiny holes in the membrane but if they're very small they'll pass through that's why it's called semi-permeable. Little things will pass through but not big things so what we're going to do to test that osmotic pressure inside and outside is we're going to use this as if it were a cell. We're going to take the molasses and pour into our dialysis tubing and then we're going to tie it we're going to make two like this one will use as our control the second one will put in a beaker of water. Two hours later let's see what our results are. You can see definite change in the volumes and if we move this around you can see that in this larger volume the molasses is not nearly as viscous so we have plenty of evidence to support the fact that the water molecules move through the dialysis tubing and it's diluted the molasses so the osmotic pressure was the driving force that brought the water in and this one remained unchanged.


Okay, this lady over here who left, she said that they built a complex next to her, and they built that like three, I know the one she's talking about, they built that like three years ago, and there's been one business in there, and the thing is like completely vacant. And you mentioned there's like 30% vacancy, or we all know that our economy is in trouble and it's continuing to go downhill, or I think, and you're talking about spending more tax dollars here, all right, I think what a lot of communities have done when their tax revenues have gone down, I know we've seen what they've done is they're sending their cops out to write more tickets, all right, and you want to know what I think is wrong with Dorset Road, and this is not directed to you as much as it is to the mayor, I drive down Dorset Road every single time, and I tell you what the problem with Dorset Road is, you can't drive drive down Dorset Road without seeing somebody pulled over by a cop, writing a ticket for revenue generation, all right, my question is, when with the continuing declining economy and spending tax dollars here, and continuing falling in your tax revenues, are you going to send the cops out for revenue generation even more than they're, you're doing it now because you got a freaking police state here, when you drive down Dorset, all right, thank you, I got it on tape. Thank you. Our police department is not a source of revenue. It absolutely is. I can see what you're, I know you're, this is not about safe, you're generating revenue. I know what you're doing. That's your opinion. Yes it is.


Sinkholes are now happening way more often in places where a lot of us live. Crumbling man-made infrastructure causes a sinkhole on average every four days according to one study. That's not even including the ones caused by mining or natural causes. And while it's great that we're finally starting to prioritize infrastructure, it might be a good idea to keep an eye out for those early signs of a sinkhole forming around your house.


Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to do split screen. And I'm going to show you how to do it very, very quickly to make it look really, really nice. As you'll see here, I've got two videos. I've got a video of one dog playing on the left side, and I got a video of a dog playing on the right side. And I split screened him.  And I'm going to show you how to do this from scratch. So the first step here, I'm just going to delete these top layers. And I'm even going to delete all of this. And let's just go and create a new composition. We've got nothing loaded in here. I'm going to go to my finder. I've got the two dog videos selected. I'm going to drag and drop them into the project panel like that. The next step is I'm going to drag the first dog video in.  I'm just going to make it about four seconds long because I don't want to bog the CPU down with too many calculations. I just want to show you the technique. So I've dragged and dropped in the first video, as you can see. The second step is I'm going to drag and drop in the second puppy dog video. And I'm going to drag it on top. And when I do that, it's bigger than the original video. So we're going to go ahead and make some changes. The first one is I'm going to go ahead and make sure they're both the same length. So that's the step one. Step two, I'm going to delete the audio track because this isn't really an audio video. This is just to show you the video technique. The next step is I'm going to show you, I'm going to back out the resolution 25%. The reason why? When I double click on it, you're going to see that the video of the weenie dog here is a much higher resolution than the other one. And it's much, much bigger. The solution to this is to right click on the video here, go down. And then what you want to do is you want to set to frame size. What that does is it sets this video to the exact same size as the bottom video. And the reason why is because the bottom video was the one that created the sequence with. So we've got two videos and they're both now the same size and they're stacked on top of each other. Alrighty, now the first step that you want to go next is we're going to go ahead and we're going to go to the effects workspace. Left click on effects up top here in case you weren't there. And if you don't see it or if you don't see the effects panel, simply go to window and make sure there's a check mark beside effects. In the search, I've already done it, but you want to type in crop. Once you've typed in crop here, we're going to drag and drop the crop onto the top video. So we're going to work on the top layer first, which makes sense because that's the one we see on the top layer. What we want to consider now is we got we know that we're going to be doing side by side, left side, right side. So each one of them needs to do 50%. So each one of them we were basically cutting away 50% of the video on each one. So what we can do is I'm going to cut away a bunch from the right. Let's go ahead and add in some rights.  And the reason why is this, I want as much of the dog in the shot as possible. So when we click now, the dog comes in, the dog does this thing. It isn't centered up, but that's okay. The next step here is you click on the video on the top video, and you can simply hold down shift and just move it to the edge. You want to dial it in precisely, go right ahead, but here we go. We've got the first, basically the first part of the video is done, where we've got the pupper dog on the left side doing pupper dog things. Looks pretty good, but the right side I want, we're going to go ahead and crop that too. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to hold, I'm going to click on the eyeball on the V2 track here to hide the top layer. I'm going to make sure I'm clicked on the bottom layer, and we're going to go ahead and crop this one as well. So I'm going to drag and drop the crop effect onto the bottom layer as well. So the bottom video now has cropped, as you can see here. And let's just scroll through this to see where the puppy is pretty much in the middle of this shot. So we're going to take 25% off the left, and we're going to take 25% off the right. Now you will see the black underneath it. That is not to worry. It's just because we don't have anything underneath. But once we move it, it will be okay. So the bottom one is on the left side. So we're going to move this top one holding down shift. I'm just going to push it to the right side like this. And somewhere around there. And again, you can dial it in perfectly here using position and scale. Actually, I think it is perfect. But anyway, you can do that. So when I left click on this eyeball now, I've got a video on the left and a video on the right. And that's exactly what we want. This is a perfect split screen. The puppy dogs aren't exactly perfect in this one because, well, hey, they're not exactly sitting still in the middle of the shots. But hey, that's okay. But that's how you do it. If you want to create a more specific divider between them, you can go ahead and do that. You can actually go up here and go to File New. And do we want to do it that way? No, I don't think we want to do it. We want to go to Graphics, New Layer, and then go with a rectangle. I'm going to create a rectangle. It's going to be just a generic rectangle. I'm going to move it to the top like this. And then I'm going to move it to the bottom. And then I'm going to reduce the size of it. So I'm going to make it a little, this is way too wide. I'm going to have it very thin. So I'm just going to pull it in a little. Oh boy. Come on, computer. Work with me. There we go. All right, pull it in. I'm going to pull the other side in, even though it's not behaving as well as I would like it to. There we go. I'm going to make it nice thin. And again, it's not centered. That's nothing to worry about. Now I'm going to go to the Graphics up here at the top. So we just went to Graphics. We created New Layer. And we created a rectangle. Now we go up to Window. And actually, you know what? Let's go to Graphics here. So we're going to click on the Graphics workspace. And when we do that, you're going to see when I click on Edit here that I have the ability to align and transform the center. So I'm going to left click on Vertical Center. And then I'm going to left click on Horizontal Center. And that's exactly in the middle. And that is pretty much a perfect split screen. I know it's very simple and nice and basic, but that's how you do it, guys. Thanks for watching this tutorial. I got a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.


Frontier fighters! Frontier fighters! Devoted sons and ardent champions of those daring deeds which brought fame and fortune to the West. One of the most thrilling epochs in the history of the West and Southwest was the magnificent achievement of spanning the continent by the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroad. Behind this great epic feat, there was a pitched battle of men fighting feverishly against time, the elements in Indians, and for the formative years, this great saga of sweat and steel was boisterously chanted against the background of the Civil War. One night before the fall of Vicksburg, Colonel Grenville Dodge was suddenly ordered to Washington. The business was marked urgent. The signature was that of Abraham Lincoln. The President remarks to his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, Mary, I've sent for Grenville Dodge. Aren't there enough men in Washington to advise you about the Union Pacific Railroad? Yes, Mary, but they're not honest men. Under the Railroad Act of 1862, we can start building now. They have in California. We haven't here because every congressman wants the railroad to start in his state. If it were small enough, he'd like to have it puffed out right from his own backyard. Oh, hey, Lincoln, how can you keep on joking when you've got a war and a transcontinental railroad on your hand? No, not on my hands, Mary. In my hands. The Civil War in my right hand and a transcontinental railroad in my left. And I guess a man needs to juggle them both. Colonel Dodge, first appointment, Mr. President. Oh, yeah, I'll see him. Mary, Nitton and War go together, but not Nitton and Railroad. I had no intention of staying, Abrams. And to span a continent and bring the people of the West face to face with the people of the East. Mr. President? Come in, Dodge. Come in. Mr. President? Dodge, I called you to the White House because you're an honest man. That's first. Second, because you know about railroads. I'm on it, sir. By the act of 1862, Congress gives me the power to authorize the building of a railroad. A company is formed known as the Union Pacific. They're waiting only for one thing, an approved starting point and government money. Mr. President, suppose I furnish the money and you furnish the starting point. Yeah, seriously, Dodge, the issue is this. Oh, a boot up a chair. Don't be so formal. Thank you, sir. California already is broken ground for the Central Pacific. We're still waiting. The money crowd are lobbying for Omaha as a terminal. Of course, they want to serve themselves. I want to serve the nation. You can serve the nation best, Mr. President, by breaking ground at Council Bluffs, Iowa. If you'll step to this map, sir. That is strategic. This is the way the route should go. Starting here and possibly meeting with the Central Pacific in Utah. That's a great stretch of country. Plains, desert, mountains. You'll need an army of workers, Mr. President, to build the railroad and an army of soldiers to protect the workers. Well, Dodge, when do you think this work should start? Right now, sir. That's the way I feel about it.  Why, Mr. President, you live to drive the golden spike in the last railroad tie connecting East and West. No man lives longer than he should. And there's no exception to the rule. Be the man a rail splitter or a president. I'll start the work, Dodge, but when the war is over, I want you to finish it. And so, with the nation torn by a war that threatened her very existence, this vision which far-sighted men had had for more than a quarter of a century began. Feverishly, thousands of men worked under the burning sun of summer and the rain, snow, and stinging sleet of winter. Worked, sweated, swore, but drove on. Millions of government money more than matched millions of private capital. Out of the gloom and suspicion which shrouded the early years, emerged hope and optimism and faith. Hundreds of miles of tracks had been laid both in the East and the West. The war was drawing to a close.  In the West, Leland Stanford, inspiration of the Central Pacific, said, I say that every man who lays down his musket should pick up a shovel, an axe, and a hammer, and work for the railroad. The destiny of the West lies in the East, and the destiny of the East in the West. God speed the day when men and women in the East, the West, the North and the South, shall stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart. Now those rebels are Yankees, but once again as Americans. The nation rejoiced at the end of the conflict, and speedily began the work of reconstruction. Then, as suddenly as a bolt leaves the blue, the telegraph, which went hand in hand with every mile of railroad, ticked out this horrible news. Important dispatch men, hold your work. It's about all day as Congress to vote as opponents. Well, Bill, what was the message? Bill, what's come over here? Bill, come on, let's hear it. God have mercy on all of us. God have mercy.  Shot old Abe? Bill, it can be. Poor old Abe, an act by the name of Booth in Ford's Theater, shot him dead. For the next week, after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, chaos was king. The alarmists predicted the railroads would be abandoned. Those who wanted to hold back the march of progress said it was the will of God. The Almighty had stepped in and stopped such wickedness. Then, Andrew Johnson took the oath of office and called for Grenville Dodge, now a general, and sent him directly to the Indian country. This was the first-ordered Dodge telegraph to all district commanders on the plains. Place every mounted man in your command on the south-plat route. Prepare telegraph lines. Attack all bodies of hostile Indians. Stay with them and pound them until they move north of the plat or south of the Arkansas. I am coming with two regiments of cavalry to the plat line and will open and protect it. But it was one thing to give an order on the plains in 65 and another to see that it was carried out. Late in July, 2,000 Indians of different tribes launched a campaign to destroy all telegraph stations along the plat. In August, matters reached a crisis. The government, its army reduced to peacetime strength again, was faced with a problem of going on or backing out. To control the Indians, a new army of 22,000 men was needed and $50 million to finance such a campaign. The treasury was almost depleted, yet the railroads called for more government money and the immigrant trains called for protection. General Dodge, intent on a solution of the problem, took a small company of mounted soldiers and went into the heart of the Indian country. General, is this a scouting expedition or just what is it? I'm looking for two things, Palady. Where all these surprise attacks come from, also for some undiscovered past through which the railroad might go down into the Laramie Plains without so much greed. Well, you certainly picked the smallest trooper men could want to risk a pitch battle with. Palady, I'm not looking for a fight today. Oh, they're home. Well, it's like you'll have it anyway. Indians and a lot of them. Give me those glasses. Crows. How many? About 300. You think they see us? No doubt they followed us all day and aimed to close in at night. Dismount! Dismount! Dismount! I'm at the top of this ridge. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We're fired on, we return the fire immediately. Start signal fires which our regiment will see. Look, the crows have dismounted now. They're starting to scale the mountains to cut off retreat either north or south. All right. We're high enough for the fires and there's plenty of fuel here. Start the signal fires. Yes, sir. Indians coming closer.  Fire's going, sir, and let them have a volley or two. All right, men. Let them have a volley. Sir, pick up one or two of them crows yourself. Look, the crows are rising, sir. Right, old arch. Good. We should have an answering signal before long. More crows. Stale on the mountains here. A volley on the left, sir, men. Camps answering, sir, they're coming. There they go, general. Every last crow is packing up and high-tailing it for home. They saw the answering smoke signals being knocked out. Hold your fire now, men. Yes, sir. Allady, I've been so busy looking straight ahead into the left, I never thought to look to the right. See that slope going down so gently to the plane? Yeah. I think we've discovered a pass through which we can build the Union Pacific into Laramie. I wonder where that slope goes to. It seems to me it slopes down to a crit bed. Must be a grade of less than 100 feet to the mile. Then, Jim, you keep a look out here. Yes, sir. Rest of you fellows, Mount horse, and follow me. I think we've made a real fight this time. General Dodge made a discovery that is part of the history of the Union Pacific. He took back to Washington the discovery of this new pass and the plan of action to put down the Indians. Both were bitterly fought, but in the end, he won. The years good and bad, fraught with victory and with defeat, rolled on. And then came that historic day, May 10th, 1869. The last rail was ready to be laid and the last spike to be driven. A Union Pacific steam monster driven from the east was almost chugging in the face of one driven from the west. The meeting place was Promontory Point, Utah. Now, the last rail was laid and three spikes were to be driven, one gold from California, a silver spike from Nevada, and an iron spike from the east. A telegraph line attached to the silver hammer used to drive the spikes was wired to a telegraph instrument and the thrilling news was carried to the nation. The Transcontinental Railroad had at last become a reality and the nation was welded into a stronger, more indissolvable union. This was as Leland Stanford had predicted in 1862. The day when men and women in the east, the west, the north and the south shall stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart mother's rebels are Yankees, but once again as Americans. And so, another chapter has been written in the lives of frontier fighters.

The Defense Forces of Ukraine have downed a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft, Nikola Ulshchuk, commander of the Ukrainian Air Force said this. And A-50 aircraft with the alias Bayon has done its time in the sky. Greetings to the occupiers on the day of the Defender of the Motherland, you should have celebrated at home quietly, maybe you wouldn't have wrecked your Bayon. I am grateful to Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and everyone who made this possible. It will keep working. Together to the victory, Ulshchuk said. The plane was hit between the Russian cities of Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar, Ukrainian military sources said, over 200 kilometers from the front line. According to Russian telegram channels, the residents of the settlement of Trudovaya Armenian and the Krasnodar cry witnessed the fall of the aircraft engulfed by flames. The Defense Forces of Ukraine have downed a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft from a Soviet anti-aircraft system S-200.Ior Romanenko, former deputy head of the general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responsible for air defense, revealed that Ukrainian soldiers were trained to strike ground targets with S-200 systems. Pro-Russian military media observers claim the downing of the aircraft was due to friendly fire, Russian anti-aircraft gunners engaging the A-50 by mistake. Ukraine, however claims they shot down the aircraft using a surface-to-air missile, the Berive-50, colloquially known as the Mainstay, is a critical cog in Russia, crafted from the Ilyushin-IL-76 platform. The disappearance of such an aircraft from the Russian stronghold is a significant loss. Coincidentally, this incident might represent the second time an A-50 has fallen since the start of Russia's offensive against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In the first month of 2024, another A-50 found its demise in the Sea of Ozov. This event coincides with an incident involving an IL-22 that suffered substantial damage from a missile but managed to stick its landing nonetheless, the Defense Ministry of the Ukrainian government said in a statement that each A-50 costs about $350 million to make. Defense experts also believe Russia will have a tough time replacing the aircraft due to the high cost, and the fact that parts will be hard to produce because of sanctions according to sources from Ukraine, 9A-50 and A-50U models are presently being used for territorial supervision. They alternate monitoring duties over the Russian territories of Kursk and Voronezh, the claimed territories of Crimea and the Black Sea. According to the military balance, this fleet is a representation of all the existing long-range radar detection and command planes under Russian services. The operational range of the A-50 is impressive, with a range of 5,000 kilometers and an endurance of up to 7 hours without refueling. Even like refueling, it can stay airborne for extended periods, providing continuous surveillance and command in control.


Getting lost in a sexual fantasy from time to time is completely normal and healthy. It's no wonder movies like 50 Shades of Grey are so popular because plenty of people have similar sexual desires and fantasies. And how can we forget bops like WAP by Cardi B and Side to Side by Ariana Grande? Sorry, did I just reveal your sexy dime playlist by accident? Just kidding. The truth is it's simply human nature to have sexual urges, but when is it too much? Stick around for the science and find out. Compulsivity.  Reason? Because if you can't focus or concentrate on anything other than your sexual urges and fantasies, you're exhibiting a loss of impulse control according to an article published by Mail Clinic.  An example would be someone engaging in risky behavior to satisfy their sexual urges at all costs, such as using all of their money for sex instead of paying the rent, or someone who simply can't concentrate at work or school anymore because their mind is only focused on sex. These risky behaviors usually result in negative consequences, and that's when sexual urges cross the line from harmless to unhealthy. According to several research studies, compulsive sexual behavior can stem from severe unresolved childhood trauma or PTSD.  Dr. Timothy Fung, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA, states that cases of hypersexual behavior have also been shown to be induced by medications for Parkinson's disease, implicating dopamine systems in compulsive sexual behaviors.  Obsessive fetishes or a paraphernalia. There's nothing inherently abnormal or destructive about having a fetish. It's completely normal to have specific sexual kinks and preferences, and in some cases, it can make sex more exciting and pleasurable. However, if your strong sexual urge and desire for a particular fetish is causing you to engage in risky behaviors, then it's time to reevaluate. In an article for a psychology today, Dr. Steven Betchin, certified sex therapist and professor, emphasizes that a fetish is only destructive when obsessive. According to the DSM-5, a paraphernalia is not considered pathological unless it causes unmanageable stress or does harm to the cell for others. It's only then that it would be considered a disorder. So essentially, there's a fine line. A fetish can be completely healthy when managed appropriately, and if it's not crossing any boundaries, such as an act that would be considered illegal, like violating another person or exposing oneself in public. An example of some paraphernalias include exhibitionism, masochism, sadism, and voyeurism, and when out of control, these can switch from fetishes to full-blown sexual disorders. This is referred to as fetishistic disorder, which according to the DSM-5 occurs when an individual exhibits a pattern of obsessive behavior over a fetish that involves inanimate objects or non-sexual body parts.  Pornography addiction. The use of pornography is ubiquitous, so again, nothing pathological about it. According to reports from a survey, Pornhub had at least 42 billion visits in a year. Given the prevalence of pornography usage, it's not uncommon for individuals to consume it regularly. However, when pornography, usage, morphs into an addiction, then it's a problem. But how does one know if it's an addiction?  Another important factor to consider is if it impacts your relationships negatively. Another factor to remember is that porn has the potential to transform into a full-blown addiction if used excessively over time. According to WebMD, experts say that the same brain activity shown in drug or alcohol addiction, when circuits in your brain associated with reward, motivation, and memory get turned on, is also displayed in those who use pornography a lot.  So did any of these signs resonate with you? If you have any questions, comments, or personal experiences related to this topic, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
