Welgo yn y toffi TV er is the Everton News Daily. Everton have again been linked with a move for Leall centre-back Gabriel Magelhaith. Over the weekend, the stories gathered pace, Nicola Shearer tweeted that Everton had offered the 22-year-old a five-year contract. We've actually done a video on toffi TV, me and Andy talking about the strength of Gabriel. Make sure you check that out when it becomes available. The rumoured fee is around 30 million euros, that's what's being quoted at the moment. He's a left-sided centre-back. It looks like it'd be a very good addition for Everton if they can get that over the line. And they're good to see that Everton are making these approaches ahead of the season finish and so if the season does finish. But you know being really good signing for Everton, so fingers crossed on that one. Everton were also linked with Thomas Strykosia over the weekend. The Latio goalkeeper thought to be valued at around 30 plus million pounds. He's been in excellent form this season for Latio who are second in Serie A currently. Whether there's anything in this, I don't know. Again, Andy's a big fan of Strykosia. Obviously Carlo Ancelotti said on a couple of occasions that Jordan Pickford is the number one Everton don't have any issues with him. But Italian press seem to think that Strykosia is very much on Carlo Ancelotti's shopping list. Leighton Baines is expected to sign a new 12-month deal at Everton. He's got some interest from MLS. Apparently LAFC and Los Angeles Galaxy. Very interested in taking the Everton fall back over there. But Baines, according to a report, in the athletic today is swaying towards signing his contract extension at Everton. Carlo Ancelotti has said last week that he was keen for Baines to stay on and offer back up to Leucadine. Baines has played a few times this season and has been good every time he's played really so. Be good for Everton squad if he remains for another 12 months at the club. Also, over the weekend we saw that USM rumoured to be paying £200m for the Neyman rights at the Bramley Moor Dock Stadium whenever they moved there. The club due to moving in 2023 if planning permission goes well. Obviously USM had already paid £30m for the first option to secure the Neyman rights on the stadium and now it's coming out that it's £200m for it to be a 10-year deal so obviously worth £20m a season to Everton. So good news for Everton. They certainly helped with FFP etc. Boris Johnson in the last hour has recommended that the public who are over 70 or with underlying health problems should stay away from public areas for around 12 weeks. That is a recommendation at the moment. That kind of news makes it unlikely that football clubs will be back playing games again in front of crowds. 12 weeks will carry us through to almost the end of June which seems unlikely that the Premier League will be resumed and finished unless clubs vote to play behind closed doors which according to a lot of reports over the weekend is something that the clubs are against. Nine games without fans. You can understand why clubs will be against that at the moment. Because this situation is changing daily it's too early to have any kind of predictions of what can happen but obviously they're taking recommendation of government there from World Health Organisation and things like that. So you know they've already said stay away from cinemas and public gatherings and there's rumours that schools will be shut later in the week as well following on from places like Ireland. They've already closed their schools so this is obviously an ongoing situation, very serious situation at the moment but it looks as though there's not going to be any early return to action for Premier League clubs so keep an eye out for all of that information. Finally on a lighter note the event mugs that a lot of you are asking about yesterday are available on the toffee TV store that's one of them. There's another so for all you asking and messages there they are go and check that out. Make sure you give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't if you want more videos join us on Patreon. See you later.


You can come up with me and then, OK. So we can get started. I know everybody has a tight schedule, so we'll try to stay on schedule. Just a bit of introductions. My name is Adnan. I work for Dell, and I run the global strategy for the networking BU within Dell, which is a pretty fancy title, which means I just get to go on airplanes to all the fun cities in the world and talk to people. So we have, by the way, Andy here as well. Andy runs our EMEA networking team as well. So I think if any questions, comments, suggestions, we can probably answer those things. So the reason why we come and do this is to give you guys an idea about what we are doing to help change the world, and also get your input and feedback on what you guys think about where we are going, as far as the industry is concerned, as far as some of the things that you guys are doing. So please feel free to stop me, interrupt. I mean, this is a great opportunity for us to learn, and that is, quite honestly, my incentive to come to these forums. It's not for this to be a one-way thing, but essentially engage with you guys. And I'm around. I should have put my email address up there, but if you need to talk in detail, feel free to grab me, and I'll give you my card, and I'm at the summit until Wednesday, so either me or Andy would be happy to have any conversation.  OK. Partners, vendors, versus people that actually deploy. So people who deploy and manage networks? OK, fairly good group. OK, so what is open networking? Let's start with that. I think when we were looking at the industry, this word SDN, I think it's the second most abused word in the industry after cloud. And at Dell, we were trying to figure out what is the next big thing as far as networking is concerned. And we didn't have to go back. If you look at what happened on the server side, it gave us the next logical transition in the networking space. So what happened on the server side, if you look at it, the industry moved from the mainframe model. I mean, we used to buy vertically integrated systems, either from our friends at Sun or other vendors. I'm going to try and not take vendor names because I can get in trouble and I have my own opinion. But what happened was if you look at how the application ecosystem evolved, it was because we moved to standard architectures from a chipset standpoint on compute. We gave customers and partners the ability to run their choice of operating system on the compute platform, which actually served as an application host, and then the application ecosystem evolved. And today, as operators or as people that deploy infrastructures, you're forced by the application requirements which are driven by the business requirements to go and deploy an x86-based infrastructure. How many people here still buy and deploy mainframes? How many people work with x86-based architectures? So it happened on the compute side. And then Dell was very integral in that part of the industry. And I think what happens is that is exactly where we think the networking industry is going. And what we did was essentially this. So it's not overly complicated. This is our vision for software-defined networking. And what it means is that we basically started down this journey a few years ago by moving to merchant silicon, open hardware. And then now we have given the customers the ability to run different operating systems on our switching platforms. Because if you look at this, this is exactly what happened on the compute side. And the reason is that every infrastructure has different requirements. So why should we be making the decision as to what operating system you need to deploy?  I mean, you basically buy the box from either us or our friends across in the industry. Then you have completely integrated, tightly controlled protocols that run. And the only way you can do SDN is either through OpenFlow or API access or programmability or things that people offer you. But if you go down this direction, which is what we have enabled now, we announced two partnerships. One was Cumulus, which is a complete Linux-based operating system. How many people here are familiar with Cumulus? They actually have a booth down there. So go talk to those guys. It's essentially a full Linux OS. So when you do deploy it, it brings up a Linux batch prompt. So the idea is that why is networking so different than compute? So for that, you have to give people the ability to run standard hardware on the networking devices like they do on the server side. But an operating system that can actually serve as an application host. So tomorrow, if you want to go write code that you want to run on switch, because you think you can do things in a better way, you should have that flexibility. You want to run standard L2, L3 protocols? That will work as well. So it gives you a transition path. And that is what we believe is the two definition of SDN, because the first word in SDN is S, which stands for? Exactly. Second partnership we announced was with Big Switch. Essentially, they're tapping solution, because we believe it's a very non-intrusive way to come and give people the ability to run monitoring on their infrastructure. And now we're going to partner with them on the cloud fabric solution as well. But the idea is, from a high level strategy standpoint, this is where we are going. It's not overly complicated. And you guys have the ability to do what you want to do. And that's how Dell networking, we believe, is different than anybody else in the industry. We, by the way, have our own OS. We are continuing to invest in it. But we want you guys to make a choice. Now, if you look at it, what does this do? It actually enables your ecosystem. You, as customers, as partners, as vendors, can put your solution together and bring a solution to the market, which is not what is defined by either us or our competitors. So if you look at this, standard A6, our OS, we are going to keep coming out with other choice of operating systems, overlay networks. And then you can do monitoring. Since it's a Linux operating system, you can actually leverage all of Linux's ecosystem out there to deploy any kind of Linux packages that you want. Now, just because, please do remember, Switch does not have the same compute power as a server. So with great power comes great responsibility. So you need to be careful as to what you run at that layer. But essentially, this unlocks a complete ecosystem for you guys to look at your infrastructure in a truly agile way.  Layer two, layer three? So you can still deploy it like that. And when you're ready to move to this direction, you can transition along with Dell. And that's how I believe that Dell is very different than anybody else in the industry. And you are going to see other innovations come up here from our side. And then we are right now working on these ecosystem partners. Basically, with us, you can deploy an end-to-end solution either with VMware or Mitikora. So that's how we are putting it all together compared to a lot of other friends in the industry which are actually still making it a vertically integrated model. So everybody, do you guys think this is a good direction? Do you think this is we're wrong? It would be good to get some feedback. Questions, comments? Okay. So how does this work in this thing? So if you look at, now let's go up and look at the data center. So what is happening in the data center is essentially there is a disaggregation happening across software-defined compute, happened with virtualization, software-defined networking is happening and software-defined storage is the next thing which is coming about. Essentially, the idea is to disaggregate your hardware from the app OS and from the application layer. Essentially, you should build agile infrastructures irrespective of the application that you're running and your infrastructure should be able to serve any application dynamically and adapt. So if you think about this, happened with compute, server virtualization, right? I think everybody here runs virtual infrastructures, I'm assuming. So compute was the first thing that got virtualized. Essentially, one server can become 10 servers, right? And this is where we are taking this. I'm not gonna talk about storage because this is a networking session, but this is what we are doing. Essentially, we are basically going to abstract the physical hardware from the OS and then the application. We think that there is no reason for you to get on the CLI and start making commands. I mean, this is where things are going. So the point is that with us or with Dell, you actually have the ability to go down this journey. Some of our friends across in the industry, it's either a rip and replace because you buy one thing from them or you deploy their infrastructure, it has to be completely vertically integrated. Support, their choice, their OS, their hardware. You can only go down this road if you actually break the model up. And we are giving you the ability to do so at your pace when you're ready because nobody's going to deploy a full SDN infrastructure tomorrow morning. It is all the capital investments that you make. You can slowly start moving in that direction. But this is essentially our thinking as to where we are doing. So compute happened, networking is happening now. We actually announced a partnership with Nutonix on the storage side. I don't know how many people here are familiar with Nutonix. So we have started going down that road on the storage side as well. And that's where we are going with this. So how does this tie into OpenStack? OpenStack is a cloud OS. It actually gives you the ability to manage infrastructure. So you can pick the right OS for you. We'll get into some of those examples, whichever one suits your needs and your application requirements and quite honestly your tastes. At some point it becomes a choice of religion as well. I mean, some people are completely interested in running L2 and don't want to move away from L2. Some people have moved to L3. And I mean, I've had many religious debates with customers across the world on this thing and these are perspectives. So the idea here is that if you have a topology that is running L2 and that is your direction, you have that choice. If you want to go L3, you have that choice. You want big switch. You want to deploy a full STN fabric that is completely controlled by an STN controller. You have that ability. And you can move around, by the way. Can you deploy a different OS on the server? Can you move from Windows OS to Red Hat? How many people here can do that? If I give you a machine, can you switch OSes on it? Yes? Yes, right? It's just setup.exe. Why can't you do that with networking? So the idea is that today, let's say you start with this, which is a traditional OS, and you run your fabric and your infrastructure in a certain direction. Tomorrow or day after tomorrow, you realize you have applications that can optimize and run your infrastructure in a better way. We give you that flexibility to go do that. That is the direction we are going on compared to a lot of other partners out there. Yeah, question? Common? See the idea? We have this huge, like, constraint, but they all point to being not the right one. So our stance right now is that we are basically providing the platform. So what you are saying is more on an application optimization space. I hope that somebody picks this up as the platform and actually develops that on top of it. But it does not exist on the roadmap. And the reason is because we have, I mean, to be very frank, we have limited number of resources. So if you think about this, let me step back. The reason why this is interesting is because of the following reason. If you are Amazon, Google, you can go do this yourself, by the way, they have done it with ODMs. How do you bring a technology in mainstream enterprise? The only way to do that is if a customer has the ability to pick up the phone and say, I don't need 10,000 switches, I just need two because that is what my infrastructure is. And we are giving them that ability. And if they have a problem, they pick up the phone and call Dell. If they are based in Europe, they pick up the phone and call Andy and scream and shout at him. That's how we, so we are actually bringing this to the mainstream enterprise. Now with that, the first strategy is that all of this requires a lot of resources to certify and get it all working. And that is where we are interested in. On the compute side, we did not take a stance on the layer above the platform. If you look at what Dell did. On the networking side, we are thinking about it. Let me put it that way. But we do think that that problem needs to be solved by the data layer, by the application layer, not in the networking space. Because if you look at it, when software defined storage comes in, I mean if you take Newtonics as an example, are you familiar with Newtonics? Anybody? How many people here are familiar with Newtonics? So I'm gonna use that. So what Newtonics essentially is, because a lot of people are not, is essentially giving you a sand capability on compute. So it's software defined storage. What you do is you have direct attached storage on the server. So it runs the application or the software on it that gives you the ability to replicate your data across so it actually acts like a sand.  So the software has the intelligence to provide. Now, when you look at that concept, it is the software defined storage controller that has the ability to decide where it's gonna move the data. So the idea is by providing a platform in the networking OS, they have the ability to go program the network the way they want to. Right, so that is the reason why we have sort of not crossed that boundary. The other thing is, if you look at it, I mean one of the things we'll talk about is if you build a full class network with lower subscription and the price points on the 40 gig are going down, you, I mean network should be a highway. I mean essentially it's a freeway. So if you bet you should be fine from that standpoint. So point taken, very well valid point, but right now it's not on the roadmap and these are some of the reasons why we have sort of walked that fine line. I mean I get these ideas from my own team that we should go tweak this, we should go tweak this, but I mean right now we are in the business of providing the platform.  So for your health within that one? Yes, so it's integrated in our health reportion. So that's how you provide the overlay. So, yes. So try, basically our moving forward, all of our next generation processors are gonna be x86. The reason being that if you deploy, if you write a monitoring application, for example, right? It's compiled on a server on Linux, it's x86. So it should just run on the switch because it's x86 processor. And the second is we are moving down the Broadcom chipset road. So our platforms are all Broadcom and tried in two supports VX LAN capabilities in the hardware. So it's a hardware feature that needed to be there for us to go support that. So, and then just an additional comment. I mean, basically if you look at on the compute side, right? If you look at VMware that has the intelligence to go do VMotion and all those things, essentially the intelligence is really application. And so that's where we are going. But we do understand that networking is not as trivial. It's a little more complicated. So we need to maybe go make some tweaks and the CTO team actually is working on some of those things. I don't know if Sanjay is in the room, he was supposed to be here, he's from the CTO office, maybe he'll come. So if you look at, we are giving you guys the ability to deploy these open standards and platform-based solutions in OpenStack as well.  You can deploy an L2 domain. The difference between us, I mean L2 is same across the board for most vendors, but the difference is with us you have the flexibility to move in the direction that you want to move in. So it actually completely integrates with your existing L2 networks. There is no rocket science as L2. Personally, I'm not an L2 fan. I don't know how many people here are L2 fans. I don't mean to offend anybody. I think L3 is a much cleaner solution and less issues when you mess up the cabling or something like that. But you can deploy your infrastructure the way you deploy it. You can do subnets, you can do service isolation, all those things the way you do L2 networks today. So it actually completely integrates with your deployment. So that's cumulus plus Dell. I mean, I wanted to use this as an example as to how a hardware from Dell and software from somebody can actually tie into an overall solution, which is the first in the industry by the way. You can't do that with our friends at HP, our friends at Cisco. I hope they're not in the room or if they are, I'm sorry. I mean, you don't have the ability to do that. You can't go and tell these guys that I like your switch, I have bought your switch, but I want the flexibility to run a different OS because it is the direction that I wanna go in. So essentially breaking the model. And I think this is something you were referring to. So full L3 capability. I think the reason why I like this is because you get load balancing via ECMP for free. I mean, it's an easy way to load balance across your network. And you can change the hash algorithms depending on how you want to do load balancing within your infrastructure, but using VXLan, you can actually go and deploy this. The reason why this is, we have the chipset name up there is because it's a hardware capability that Broadcom provides. So that's what has to get exposed to basically go support that. So essentially you have this infrastructure and then there are solutions out there that use the overlay technology on top of it and then you can tie those off on top. But again, I wish I had a complicated solution like a lot of people out there. What we are doing is extremely simple. The only difference is we are giving you guys the ability to go and deploy solutions the way you want to. So I showed you an example of an L2 fabric. So if you're an L2 base, it still works. It actually augments to your existing network so there is nothing you have to go change. L3 is much more standardized. So it integrates with your L3 fabric. And if you look at this, this is the third solution that you can deploy today which is with Big Switch. How many people know about the cloud fabric from Big Switch? One, two, okay. So essentially there's no L2, L3 protocols. It's SDN controller. So what they've done is you basically run a controller on a server and that actually figures out how to go route traffic. You can run it on Dell switching platform and you can basically deploy an open stack solution using that. I think it's a very interesting idea. This is where the industry is going. The difference is how it talks to the outside world today is using static routes and we are working with them on dynamic routing because that could be an issue because if you change it out on the outside it has to get propagated within the fabric. But this is not running layer two. This is not running layer three. This is actually, this is just the data plane and the decision on how to flow the packets is actually being made outside, which is SDN controller, yes. But they do have proprietary stuff that they do on top of it because if you look at it, you have to do a lot of things. You have to do load balancing. You have to basically do routing. So open flow is what they use and in a standardized way on their big tap solution which is the monitoring part that replaces the giga mon. But this is using open flow but they've done tweaks, proprietary tweaks that actually make it more optimized on that. So the reason why, let me, sorry, answer that question in more detail. The reason why we did this was the following. If you look at traditional open flow deployments from people, how many people here know open flow? I just want to know, okay. So everybody did open flow because it was a standard, it was the only way to do SDN and good luck trying to get people to agree on a standard and then implement the standard. Open flow was deployed in a way where we used to carve out tables, right? We will keep this much for regularly L2, L3 and we'll carve out a portion of the hardware to basically store the open flow data. The problem we ran into that was that it wasn't scalable. So the reason why we gave Big Switch the ability to have complete control because then they can actually control all of the tried-and-do hardware table sizes. So all the, essentially open flow has the access to complete 16K entries or whatever you want to do on the chip set, whatever the chip set does. So this is using open flow. Essentially that is the standard they follow. They're all there, they're a way Switch Lite actually supports open flow so you can technically tie it to another open flow controller. But for the SDN fabric, they do recommend using their own controller because they do some proprietary fancy stuff to get this working in case of failures, in case of load balancing and things like that. And I think they're also here. I don't know if Pashant is here, their CD is a very, very smart guy, but drop me an email and happy to have a deeper conversation on that. This is completely, yes, simplicity. Can you say anything before? Yes. Within the table? Yes. See, overall, you can. You can, it depends. I mean, at the end of the day, give me an example of an overlay technology that you would use. You can, that's what I said. It is not for, that's, so I'm not. Give me a switch. It's very hard to promise. But the day is a very, very difficult. It's very, very difficult. And then you say, okay, let's go back. Two things in the other, but it's not really an open hardware. It was open, it was a professional made, but then it's the cost was high and the performance was very low. So, then it comes nothing, how do we make these results? Why not make a hardware? It's a cheap, three-core, about support. They're like 10 days. So let me let me let me give you my Dell answer as when I put my Dell hat on and then I love giving my opinions and I'll give you my opinion which is nothing to do with that the fact that both two people here are having a conversation on two different preferences is exactly what we wanted to enable as a company number one second thing is what you are talking about is right here if it works for you great the problem is it depends on your scale if you are going to deploy a 500 port 10 gig chassis then you're sorry what can you give me okay then you can actually deploy deploy a class on the spine and drive the cars down even even further so the latency is in latency is the thing so eventually when you run a data center so let's this is maybe not a maybe doesn't work for people that have an enterprise infrastructure with 50 racks I don't know it's a preference issue at some point people have a preference but if you are a cloud provider that runs 50,000 servers in a physical servers in a data center I personally have seen data centers that have 200,000 servers in one physical location at that point you want a lot more granular control and and run things that have been a very simple way because a route getting a route route flapping happening or happening on BGP can take your control plane down because they have limited processing power right so it depends on the scale this solution if somebody wants to go deploy it is for people that actually want granular control they can do a lot of these things and they can plug into the SDN controller and have more granular control over their fabric for example they can go and say I won't when this happens I want the flows to go this way they it gives you that level of ability to go control your infrastructure essentially it's not I mean vxlan overlay technologies more enterprise play to me if you're running a big infrastructure on the cloud side this could be a good play for that because it gives you a lot more granular controller essentially using the controller you can have the chipset access if you want to do something funky let's say if you want to go touch the the fib on the switch right for whatever reason this gives you that that level of control but the point is from a Dell standpoint we actually wanted to go down this road because we see customers that why is it that one size fits off I mean I for me I always struggle with that and if you're deploying an infrastructure with two racks with ten racks with five thousand racks your requirements and your business needs are very very different as a company I was shoving down one solution down your throat here I'm giving you the flexibility to go down whichever road you want if you're running a thousand racks and you want to go run at that level of control power to you if you want to go run vxlan power to you but me as infrastructure provider sorry Dell not me as infrastructure provider is going to give you the flexibility to do that and transition so let's say you deploy that infrastructure with vxlan and you run into scalability issues because you just got too big or you're doing something crazy I give you the flexibility sorry Dell gives you the flexibility to move from that to this and see what works you know the vxlan is trying to supports vxlan so moving forward all the broadcast basics are on the road map going to support vxlan I get that so we when we when we go to lease a platform we are very cognizant of that if there is an issue like that we will come work with that customer very specifically if there is an issue but the idea is when we move forward we are going to going to give you the ability to switch which means if there is an issue like that some it's not a very at the end of the day when the chipset gets released there are there are updates that come in the STK usually not in the chip respin which gives you the flexibility the next chipset from Broadcom is is Tomahawk right which is the 100 gig platform so there's nothing coming between now and then so it's pretty stable till then but then you're moving to 100 gig now I can't put a 100 gig port in a 40 in a 40 gig chip that's that that is a limitation but today you can move between these two solutions on Dell hardware because again depending on getting on the details chips have revs depending on which rev you latch on to you can you can have that issue so we we are cognizant of that and that is exactly where Dell comes in right I mean if you have an issue like that you can pick up the phone and call Dell that you committed this to me it needs to work compared to going to a white box or or an odm provide but I think I mean I'm interested in in some of the things you talked about so maybe we can catch some one-on-one because I think it's it's very I mean I can I can give you personal examples of a lot of things where we actually ran into scalability issues it's just the size of the infrastructure because no matter what I have it depends on the scale if you start hitting your control plane data plane is not the problem because it's line rate across the board it's when you start hitting control plane that's where the problem comes and that comes at scale and scale is is a very relative term right and then we have our own solution which is Dell IP which is Dell active fabric controller we have a neutron plugin and it's a complete out of box solution end to end Dell so what just to recap what we are doing for STN is the following we are giving customers the ability to choose the right OS that works for them either it can serve as an application host and they can move same thing happened in compute and it I think was pretty successful and we believe this is going to happen to networking and it is happening if you look at the growth numbers the fastest growth in networking hardware was within the odm because people went to odm just because they didn't have anybody else doing this so giving that choice and then one size doesn't fit all if you are an l2 customer base we have a solution that works with the l2 fabric if you are an l3 with overlay it works there if you want to go STN with big switch we support that and moving forward we have our own IP solution as well end to end Dell if you want if you don't want to go through the trouble of putting it all together and you want to pick up the phone and say I want to get this you have a solution from Dell as well so that's the that's the direction we are going I mean just to how many people here are familiar with MPLS okay let me ask a question from my field what do you think about giving an MPLS stack on a 32 port 40 gig switch and you looked up okay why okay that's it's very different you know anybody else thoughts okay so any questions comments pretty straightforward yeah I think it's a so we we were also looking at that solution there was an Intel chip that was working as well I think I know so so the idea here is the one I mean we do have a we did we are going down that road I don't know if you're familiar with our MXL platform so on on Dell Blade servers we actually have a have a switch a 40 gig switch that goes straight into the back of the back of the chassis that actually provides that capability and then I mean you can actually do 40 gig straight up from there so if you are deploying HPC and you you see I you can I cannot compete with I just cannot compete with infinite band latency I cannot compete with it but if you if depending on how I mean when you look at HPC deployments that it is a function of what your threshold is right what your threshold for latent if the Ethernet falls within the threshold of that then then it's a it's a pretty good solution to go look at at the end of the day I mean a lot of that decision to go to other vendors is driven by cost I mean it's a it's a cost cost decision at that point and and and you have to put it all together so we have a solution we're going down that road we had the first release of MXL I mean it's it's doing great essentially blade server plug it in and you can put multiple I think you can do six right Annie you can do six you can stack up to six what yes so the so we we do two things so there we have a feature we implemented and I don't I can I can get the details I can get your card and Ryan I can send those to you the actual limitation actually comes from the hardware so since we are using the same chipset we have the same hardware limitation the second thing is we do have a feature where we do ACLs on the software to basically extend we carve out and and I don't know if they've told you they have the same feature as well so so you can you can do that my personal opinion now is I mean we have customers I mean ACLs is not a very scalable solution it's very hard to maintain so I yeah it's the question is I don't know I mean you're using it for ice traffic isolation what are you using it for and you control the application stack on the server the users okay then you have then you have no other I mean one of the ideas I have is if you don't I mean this is just I mean we haven't done this if you deploy cumulus no I'm just saying if you look at cumulus you can write a software app Linux app on top deploy it that actually does it for you so instead of instead of saying you can dynamically actually do deny all right when you give it to somebody else so let's say this is where you're running and this is how we believe we are much cooler than the guys that you're talking about I think they they went halfway they didn't they didn't go all the way all the way although their hardware designs on 140 gig are pretty interesting but our philosophy there is small boxes big boxes when they die they take half the infrastructure down with you so we have a 132 port 40 gig in three are you because we believe that you can build a class with that so just just so what you do is if you run cumulus right here right you can actually run a Linux you can write a Linux 50 lines of code that does deny all and allow one and you can change it dynamically when you give your infrastructure to somebody else that I mean it's a creative way to go do it but that's one way you can get me on the ice so because the thing is you program your ACLs once and you don't want to touch them because it's a one to it's a big ACL file right but but that is a good a cleaner fun solution so yeah I think Mina is here yeah Mina is here from cumulus downstairs a few if you have time just just tell her Adnan when I talk I mean she she's a she's a pretty smart person so she could you can actually chat to her about on doing some of these things so okay okay absolutely absolutely no that option what do you mean there are you validating designs with those you are you're you're you're this is a very valid question if you look at the I'll start from the give you a few facts if you look at the one gig decline in price per port the graph was like this okay there was there was a time when people used to pay 30 grand for a one gig switch by the way the 10 gig decline in the industry was like this the 40 gig decline is like this so that tells you one thing that this whole notion of going and charging you $50,000 for a top of rack those days are going away number one customers are getting smart the second thing is customers want a choice if you look at the odm growth you know what an odm is you know they're downstairs quanta and some of our friends there they grew 23 to 43 percent last year in depending on the region you talk about which means that there are customers that want that ability but they have to put it all together now what is del's value in this number one if you have a problem who do you pick up and call and who's going to support the solution number one number two if you are a company if you are amazon or a big cloud provider that buys 50,000 switches a year you can probably go set up your own supply chain that is an operational cost by the way but if you are anybody smaller than that you have you don't have to go set up your own supply chain and you benefit from del's procurement power and the del's solutions team that puts all this together for you and brings it to the market but i wish to god i could come here and say it's overly complicated guys it's not this is happening to networking i was i was at open stack in atlanta and i did not have one customer win because we just announced the solution i think paris is five months later i don't remember when it land i think atlanta was in march if i remember march april we've grown our business by multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last few months just because you can pick up the phone and say listen i want this solution send it to my doorstep i don't want to bother it and this is the tco model that i'm going after so my question to all of you is since it's a del sponsored session with the flexibility if anybody buys a different vendor please come and tell me what is it that we are doing wrong because i really want to learn i you want to know i mean i think we are with all the options the flexibility is worth protecting an investment enough any i know we got into some conversations anybody else has any questions comments in the back okay thank you guys enjoy your day have fun


We're training here as NATO partners with the Colombians. We have American F-16 pilots here training with the Colombian CAFIRs. And we start off with, in the exercise of Relampago Sase, we start off on a small scale and we increase the difficulty of the exercise. So we'll start off with BFM, Basic Fighter Maneuvering. We'll progress into ACM, Air Combat Maneuvering, which involves multiple aircraft in an engagement. And then we'll progress to what's called DCA, Defensive Counter Air, and ultimately we'll end with a large force exercise. So ultimately Relampago Sase is a progression of difficulty, much like all the exercises that we participate in. And it ultimately helps us improve tactics, not only for us as Americans, but also for the Colombians. Yeah, it's going to essentially we'll be replicating certain threats and we'll be practicing what's called DCA, a Defensive Counter Air. And it's essentially designed, Defensive Counter Air is designed to protect a point or a certain area of interest. And it's our mission to protect that point or area of interest from enemy fighters or other enemy aircraft from reaching a certain distance from that point so that we can ultimately protect a base or a certain important location. When we showed up, obviously we do things differently. We try to strive for the same tactics, but due to the fact that we're obviously from different countries and because of a language barrier, it has been a learning process, getting to know each other and training with pilots from a different nation. And ultimately though, we've been able to come together and train efficiently and that's been our goal since we've arrived here. Ultimately we share the same values and goals and due to the fact that we do share the same values and goals we've been able to train here efficiently and get the mission done. Ultimately, as a pilot, at the end of Gredan Pago Seis, the exercise that we're participating in, our objective is to efficiently conduct missions together as partner nations in NATO and to know that if we are called upon that we can operate efficiently together and be confident in that. I'm very confident that we'll get to that point. We have great instructor pilots here on this trip who came from Shah Air Force Base and these instructors have a lot of experience and a lot of time and not only that, they're able to share that knowledge effectively and communicate that effectively to the Colombian pilots as well and there's no down my mind that we'll reach that efficiency by the end of this exercise.


Part 3. Course Reserves After completing this section, you will know, 1. What course reserves are and 2. How to look for material on course reserves. Sometimes your professors will put material on hold at the library for you and your classmates. This material is often referred to as a course reserve. Although most course reserves are housed on the fourth floor of Alden Library behind the service desk, the Music and Dance Library also has course reserves. These materials cannot leave the library, but you may check them out for a short period of time. To find out if your professors have material on reserve, you may either check with your professor or visit the fourth floor service desk at Alden Library. Course reserves may include textbooks, DVDs, articles, anthropology skulls, microscope slides, electronic copies, etc. Whatever the instructor gives us to place on course reserve is pretty much fair game. To check out materials that are on course reserve for your class, you will need to bring three things to the library service desk. You will need your course ID, for example, Bio1030, your instructor's name, and the title of the material you are looking for. Although knowing any one of these three parts will eventually yield success, knowing all three things will help us find the material much more quickly for you. Once the library employee has this information, they will retrieve the material if the material is not already checked out. Please remember that the course reserves have a much shorter loan period than other library materials because they need to be available to all students in a course. Therefore, although some materials may allow for a longer loan period, most course reserve items can only be checked out for a few hours at a time. This concludes Part 3, Course Reserves.


Hi, there we go. There's our camera. And can you share your screen? Sure See so good to see An angle sharp. Yeah. Yeah. So Florian we've we've talked over over the years here When angle sharp joined that foundation big fan Thanks Sure, yeah, I'm quite happy to share now what angle sharp is about I mean for me, it's anyway like Christmas two best events of the year coming together Dotnet com happening globally and the October fest is just around the corner here How can you forget Florian The stage is yours Thanks So without further ado, I will just jump into a topic and hopefully I make it in time The topic is angle sharp which aims to be Dotnet headless browser. Let's see where we are and before I jump into it Fully in the water a few words about myself. I'm Microsoft MVP for developer technologies I'm also a contributor to open source projects Mostly on GitHub, of course, and I'm very enthusiastic about writing some articles of technical nature And speaking at events if the time allows it Always be be happy to be invited and appreciate that Professionally, I'm a solution architect at a small startup called smart yacht there I'm specialized in distributed web applications and the web is also the topic of this session one word of remark Since this is an online session, I cannot see all your faces. So excuse me for being either too fast or too slow I hope that the recording will then at least a little bit Well, give you a payback on this one Otherwise, you can always reach me on on GitHub or on Twitter if you have a specific question Now, yeah Yeah, thanks. Thanks. All right Now what is on our plate today? We will first start by a quick introduction. What is angle sharp? Why could it be helpful for you? Since angle sharp is an HTML browser, we will also need to have a small excursion HTML 5 We will do that by example. I selected as three examples That should illustrate why HTML parsing is not so simple as just putting out a regular expression Then we will go into the topic of extensions This is one of the things that makes English up special and we would try to to always improve our Reach and what we can do with it and finally a Small outlook what the future of English up will bring so what is angle sharp as already told you it's a Library for parsing HTML, but it's in fact a little bit more than that What we try to do in order to pass HTML 5 correctly. I mean there's core specification But there are all kinds of specifications actually and if you want to really Get a grasp on what's on the web you should not consider just one specification But all the site specifications also play a very important role like for instance, this one little thing called JavaScript, right? I mean many websites are unfortunately these days only accessible if you also have a JavaScript engine running or part of the information may Only be displayed in conjunction with special CSS rules or may make only sense with these CSS rules So there are all these different technologies that come together and form what we call the web today And if we really want to get access to that information We need also a browser engine that's capable of doing that Of course your standard browser can do it, but can you do it in dot-net without any let's say RPC calls or whatever That's the mission of Engelshop Now what we can do is we have a full stream processing unit like a standard web browser does Which means we do not stop when bytes arrive. We always Evaluate them. We don't wait until all the content was received. We do that on the fly We have a collection of web utilities for that most notably In the encoding space, but also for instance, we have our own URL parser That's just because Yuri type that's in dot-net Unfortunately is not capable of well parsing all the valid URLs that are out there This URL parsing that we included follows the specification by the heart and Therefore can handle all the cases What else we can do besides HTML CSS already remarked that JavaScript plays an important role Yes, we have a solution for that. Unfortunately at the moment it can only deal with simple JavaScript The vision is of course to to improve the reach here And this is where customizations and extensions come in because at the end of the day We don't want to create this one giant monolithic library We want actually to foster a whole ecosystem of plugins where everyone can say oh This is one of the things English up cannot do or doesn't do well at the moment But I can just customize this and come up with my own plug-in Now looking at the history of the project it all started I think around in 2012 It was actually after an MVP summit that was on the plane and I thought yeah, let's let's write an HTML 5 pass I mean what else could be it could be done on a plane Honestly, it was a different angle So to speak back in the day on the project, but I realized an HTML 5 parser is one of the things That's missing in the dotnet ecosystem There have been other HTML parsers, right? But none of them have been following in the HTML 5 specification by the heart at this point in time in 2013 I put it out on github and Initial reaction was quite good when I was really surprised. So there seemed to be some kind of a demand And so I kept on going and in 2015 we had an important milestone with integrated extensibility We demonstrated that a scripting engine can be brought in Which was quite cool because suddenly you had not only just a static document object model static representation of the page you're dealing with but actually It could be made alive what javascript brings for instance to the table And then from that point on just a lot of bug fixes a lot of improvements and a major refactoring of the API to the end user also happened and The milestone here is the version 010. So right now we are at 013 and we want to hit the one zero milestone all the major Breaking changes that happen since 010 are all quite minor but still breaking In one or the other area now from 09 to 010 that was a huge change. So there We really made a drastic Direction change, but I think it was for the better and The ecosystem also lives now on top of the 010 version and of course the successors Now one short glimpse at what how parsing HTML looks like It's like any kind of parsing. So if we could draw pretty much the same picture for let's say Even programming languages like C sharp there, of course, you may have What this then called a back end with with optimizations, etc. And coding mission happening That's not the case here, but nevertheless the parsing stages alone the front end is pretty much the same So we start with a stream a stream of just bytes and They are interpreted in a special way by a preprocessor. It also does some sanitization In the end the goal of this preprocessor is actually to get us characters that we can work with Then a tokenizer comes into play. No, the tokenizer takes a bunch of characters and says oh now That's a valid token for instance an opening tag or a closing tag or an attribute or Text or a comment all these kinds of different building blocks that we have now until this point We are still in the linear phase where we say, okay, we started with a linear stream of bytes We happen a linear stream of characters and now we have a linear stream of tokens Now where does the tree the document object model come from? Well, that's done by the tree constructor That is is fed on the tokens coming from the tokenizer and now here is the semantic information that says, okay I've seen that Opening tag. I cannot close it. That's valid or here. There is no content allowed. I will just place it on the sibling element so all these things happening in the tree constructor and Then we have a dynamic object model which is called the DOM So At the end of the day, this is all what what's included in angle shop So you don't need to do anything you just for instance present the stream to angle shop and angle shop That's all the rest at the end.  That's what we will see you can append new elements or Get further information out of it Let's just look at some examples by learning a little bit. What makes html 5 so so complicated First very simple piece of html code What you should recognize here is I left out some of the Let's say standard elements like we don't see an html tag here. We don't see had we also don't see buddy Well, that's not an error. That's actually a valid html 5 document And there are big sites for instance the Google arrow page out there which use exactly these rules to Save a few bytes here and there so What and valid html 5 parser should do it should insert these things for us So it should automatically insert for us an html opening tag It should insert for us and had opening tag It should also close the head and it should also when the magenta Code is reached Create a body element for us. All these things should just happen automatically. That's by the specification English app does that we will see that in a second Now a second example Where it gets a little bit tricky is there are some special kind of scoping rules in html for instance, we could be in a unsorted list and enter the space of a list item Now if we are in a list item We can just write another list item with the first one or the former one being implicitly closed So that's all by the specification Simple parser may not like this Because here the tree constructor needs to have all the additional logic as an example if we look at razor for writing Fuse in ASP.net core MVC We will recognize that we need to close the list item now That may have been a good design choice for performance reasons, but on the other hand, of course it limits The output that can be generated because you can never output an html like this using razor unfortunately Now the same rule that applies to a list item can also apply for instance a paragraph There are multiple of these Cases again, these are not errors. These are not even warnings. This is just valid html and the automatic closing just happens for you a Third example I want to give is in the table space. Well tables are one of the most complicated parts of the html 5 specification Because there's so much that could go wrong and every edge case is essentially handled There's another space which has to do with formatting elements But since formatting elements are more or less a legacy thing, especially with the edge cases described in there I will just focus on the table with this simple example Now what I brought in here is there have been some elements inserted The magenta ones so we have a break row here and we have an iframe. They're just inside the table Note also, there's no t-body element for instance, which is also something that needs to be inserted automatically by the html 5 parser In addition to these let's say misplaced elements. We also have an invalid closing tag So it's not even an invalid tag. I mean web components or Angular or any any kind of spa framework these days uses custom tags. So that's that's that's no problem And then we have also in green the table row Which is just let's say an orphan here It needs to be placed in the table itself and it isn't so or what should we do with that? So let's have a look And all these three cases in that demonstrate demonstration of engelsharp All the demos you'll see today are available on github The URL is on the screen All right, so For the first demo, which has briefly explained what the engelsharp part does What we do here is we create a new so-called browsing context browsing context you can think of as a Like a tap in your standard browser. So that's one instance where now a page can live What makes a browsing context special is that you can configure it You can tell it what it can do and what it cannot do like when you'd say in your browser to your current tab Well, you are not allowed to run JavaScript You can do that here too So we got a new browsing context. We don't specify any configuration Which means it's the default one and then we open a new page as the stream may be Well Evaluated asynchronously we need to do that in an async Method, but luckily see sharp cut us covered here What we use for simplicity is not now some remote remote source We use actually the smallest snippet that's on top of here So we just supply the content via what is called in engelsharp a virtual response. So we say oh So you don't have an address where your page lives. You don't even have Anything like that. So you can just construct how the response to another request would look like and we say yeah Our response has the following content. It's this source and it also comes from a certain address So the address is completely optional I just included it here because we will see it in the document object model appearing as the base URI and base URIs are very important because they give Relative URLs well the base that's required for resolving them Alright, so when we do that we end up with this I document instance And what we can now do is to illustrate that engelsharp did everything right? We serialize it back to an HTML string again using the to HTML method So if I use this and run the code you see the output It's pretty much the same document that I inserted except we suddenly get the HTML We get the head. We also close the head. We open the body and at the end of our Whole HTML document. We also close everything that was still open But that's all done by engelsharp now The second example we had we use the same code Just a different HTML snippet We should see that the list items will be closed before we open a new one or before we close Obviously the unsorted list and the same applies here with the paragraph. We also need to close them properly So let's just run it and we see same action as on example one except now Of course in addition we see all the scoping correctly evaluating So far so good. Let's also have a look at the third one and here. Let's also debug what actually the document looks like So Before we write it to the console, let's just see what's in there Could be a little bit too small. So I will just Make it a little bit larger. I hope Skype plays with me here So what we do is we have all these capabilities that if you are familiar with the document object model API from JavaScript will will look very familiar, right? So for instance, we have an all property and that will contain all the elements in here We can also iterate over them There could be a cookie for instance or we see of course our base Yuri that was Successfully applied. So all these things are there and that's it's a full document object model just done in C sharp without any remote procedure calls to to Chrome or any other evergreen browser happening now regarding the output That's what we expected so the Table row that was outside of the table that was completely omitted Otherwise, we see the standard construction happening The break row and the iframe have been pulled in front of the table and we see the insertion of the T body happening So all done for us by English up. It would have been done, of course by chrome or Firefox or any other evergreen browser out there, too so This is as the specification dictates Okay, now let's talk about extensions for a moment So what do you saw is what the core of English up can can do for you in a nutshell? So it really makes sure that whatever the HTML looks like on the page is Interpret that 100% as a real browser would do right and that's of course important because you don't want to end up with something That's where not what you would expect from just for instance debugging it in in chrome Now English up core doesn't deal with JavaScript English up core also doesn't deal with with CSS but they are luckily there are these plugins and How the ecosystem looks like is we have this base layer of angle shop core Providing the common utilities and then we place on top of it useful libraries like for instance English up CSS Which deals with the CSS object model and we try also here to be fully w3c Conform which means whenever they came up with a spec how an API should look like we follow that spec So it's not only about behavior. It's also about what the API looks like And that should give you some kind of a learning improvement because if you know it already from JavaScript You can apply it directly in Angle shop if you know it from English up and someone asked you later to do it in JavaScript Well, you can also apply the knowledge there and this two-in-one thing in my opinion as always It's great to have We also have English up IO, which will demo in a second. This brings additional IO capabilities like requesters or cookie providers And then we have libraries that are either an experimental stage like English up JS is one of these or Which are just planned like English up media could be one of these things that would then also support certain kind of streaming capabilities and Could also be quite cool if you say oh, I got this site and there is a video stream on it I can log in and then suddenly I can bring this video stream to I don't know WPF That would be quite quite awesome But we're not there yet, but that's part of the vision All right, so let's have a look at persistent cookies using English up IO So a little bit of background to this demo I got a web server running locally a really simple one There's a page which Needs a login mechanism to display a secret now All the locking mechanisms in the web pretty much where these days either is of course some some APIs But then we are anywhere on the safe side if we have a JWT or anything like that or we have a cookie based authentication That's for most of the sites that are relevant for English up the case So when we have this cookie problem, we potentially need a cookie solution, right? out of the box Engelshop already brings a cookie provider But that's based on the cookie container of net and that has several disadvantages Most notably it doesn't work with all the cookies out there on the web. It may crash. It may complain Oh, there's state format. I don't do not recognize So what we did in one of the extension libraries called Engelshop IO We created a cookie Provider following the official specification and we even went further what we have in there are two ways of using it One way is in memory where you say, okay when the application closes cookies are lost It's good and the other way is saying oh you can persist it Well, however you want to by default on the local file system and That's what it should show. So we use a custom configuration now That's done like this You have the configuration class and we just say we'll start with the default one and then we add additional capabilities So what we do is we add the persistent cookie capability and we say oh, yeah You need to store it somewhere the sync file path is in my documents the file demo cookie We also add additional requesters like an HTTP request that's based on the HTTP client That's just more modern than the one that comes as Engelshop out of the box and Then we say yeah Engelshop you allowed to actually make requests to the network. So we say with default loader Now when we run this thing what will happen is, uh, let me just switch To authentication We will have different kinds of stages. Oh, sorry. I'm still Need to remove This little file. So let's run it again. Sorry for that. We have different kinds of stages. So we start not being locked in Um, so the page looks like this you need to log in for obtaining the secret Luckily, we have to log in link here. So we navigate there Then this page contains a form We fill out the form with the user and the password press login. It's all done And then we are automatically redirected and here we see the secret. So obviously proves Wayne is Batman What? But yeah, so that's just how the word works And uh, this was the the Engelshop or the the code that we used in C sharp using Engelshop Uh, I say, okay, we can use a query selector if it's there We navigate to it. Then we submit the form and then we are logged in Now if I run it again, this cookie file is created Has been graded and so we are already logged in. So we see the secret directly. I'm Batman Great And the reason how it works is because sorry Is because um, yeah, we have this file that follows the old Netscape cookie file specification and that actually Includes all these different cookies that have been used now for the local host domain I will just transport that over All right, so going into the final stages, uh, I also want to show you javascript before wrapping up Now javascript as I said is also just a library In an experimental stage We only need to use with js and then we can apply some simple javascript. Let's just make the demo before we run out of time Pretty much the same thing now what we will change is the document title Because that's right now sample and it will be changed to simple manipulation What we will also do is we will write out this special kind of spawn element So let's just run it And what we can see is the title changed now in the serialization. That's now simple manipulation and we got this spawn Great. So this simple javascript was Applied correctly evaluated correctly again, uh, englchub.js is experimental and You will not be able to to run. Let's say large scale single page applications with it at the moment Okay, so Next steps, um, obviously shipping one zero is very important improving englchub.js super important and then refining, uh, things of the ecosystem like englchub css or bringing up new, um additional libraries like wasm is for instance a thing Especially with with blaze around the block. That could be really interesting Englchub media is set but also things like englchub renderer could be quite interesting Especially if you want to say everything is just managed code. I don't need a web browser for displaying html Which could open a lot of interesting use cases in my opinion We are always looking for contributors. I would be much appreciative if you have a look Any kind of contribution may be finding a bug Fixing something on the documentation or also discussing how the api could be improved Would be superb I appreciate all your time You'll find more information about the project at englchub.github.io and you can always Give me a tweet or reach us via via for instance our github chat Thanks a lot All right florian that was great. Thank you so much. Yeah, that was great I've I tried parsing html with some regular expressions back in the day. It's a madness. It's just mad. It's it is madness It works for the simple ones though, but Once you don't know what you are receiving you're just out of luck. I guess html has got so many quirks as you showed And and we're thankful that you're doing the hard work. So we don't have to Appreciate it. Appreciate it All right. Well, thanks so much florian. You have a good day and uh, we'll enjoy octoberfest Thanks Come over guys, uh, splint your space here. Alrighty. Take care. Take care. Bye


Researchers from the United Kingdom recently discovered several genes that protect neurons in Parkinson's disease, creating possibilities for new treatment options. Two of the genes affect how mitochondria break down amino acids to generate nucleotides. The metabolism of these molecules produces the energy that cells need to live. Dysfunctional mitochondrial metabolism has been linked to Parkinson's, and these researchers previously showed that boosting this generation of nucleotides can protect neurons. Based on these findings, they set out to identify the genes that control this process. Some forms of Parkinson's are caused by mutations in the genes pink 1 and parkin, which are instrumental in mitochondrial quality control. Fruit flies with mutations in these genes accumulate defective mitochondria and exhibit Parkinson's-like changes, including loss of neurons. The researchers used pink 1 and parkin mutant flies to search for other critical Parkinson's genes. Using a bioinformatics approach, they discovered that the ATF4 gene has a key role in the disease. It acts as a switch for genes that control mitochondrial metabolism. When the expression of ATF4 is reduced in flies, expression of these mitochondrial genes drops. This drop results in dramatic movement defects, shortened lifespan, and a dysfunctional mitochondria in the brain. Interestingly, when the researchers increased expression of these mitochondrial genes in the flies with Parkinson's, mitochondrial function was recovered, which prevented neurons from dying. These findings highlight the importance of mitochondrial metabolism for neuron health. By discovering the gene networks that orchestrate this process, the researchers have singled out new therapeutic targets that could prevent neuron loss. Studying the roles of these genes in human neurons could lead to tailored interventions that could one day prevent or delay the neuron loss seen in Parkinson's.


Hey guys this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com here with American Salon magazine my favorite beauty industry magazine Is that yours? Me too. I've got Sally. I love American Salon. Sally Rodgerton American Salon set up this interview. So I'm really excited to go through just everything that you've done Yeah, what you're doing here. Yeah, and what you have going on career-wise and all of that So let's start off with the fact that I know that your your main focus is education Yeah, absolutely. So let's talk about IBS because I think it's important for people to know when they go to hair shows What they're looking for and what you're providing. Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's a really amazing opportunity for us to come here We were asked by the New York IBS show to come And you know American Salon really supported us and helped us with that so that was a really big thing and I'd never really thought about doing trade shows to be totally honest with you Right because I just didn't think it was something that I could do You know takes a lot of money to put on these shows and all of that kind of stuff. Yeah So when they approached us I was like so thrilled and I thought let's go for it It's a good opportunity for us. We're mainly based on the West Coast Okay, so to get some East Coast presence into me.  We had a masterclass yesterday All my educators are here with me What does masterclass mean? Yeah, so masterclass for us yesterday was to our Very intimate classroom We cut hair on stage. We also had amazing presentation models that we'd done prior We work we worked through like about 30 minutes of each of our programs So we did our women's comprehensive cutting program first We did three models for that We then did a men's presentation and a men's cutting program. Okay with my educators and then we also did Creative class so that was all like a look and learn people sat watching ours present But it was very intimate. So we still got to be able to look at people in the eyeballs, right? Yeah, exactly From that and that was just amazing From that we then went through into the main stage about half an hour later Which is a very different experience right there must have been like, you know, I had a good four or five hundred people there You can't see anyone in the eyes 15 minutes we showed all of our presentation models. So that was like super fun I went out there and did a little bit of haircutting But that was really just to try and meet people and show our brand and what an amazing opportunity to be able to do that for us awesome So let's talk about your brand you I know that this has been a big discussion in this hair show I know last year as well men. Yes. So why did you Have you been into cutting men's hair for a long time? Did you hit the trend on that and and how? How is your training program different from some of the other ones? Well, I think men's hair is like huge isn't it at the moment and it's also all over the place Yeah, you know like you've got with any kind of fashion in anything I think that you've got the high you know the top of the spectrum the lower end and the majority in the middle You know, you'll have some people wanting to do the newest thing before anybody else, right? I'm so cool, you know. Yeah, and so they started barbering their hair off a long time ago They then moved on and started growing their hair But now that middle population that 70% of your clients Then went in had all their hair barbed off and then you've still got that smaller group that are just getting into it now Right. Yeah, so a lot of people now are actually growing their hair out now I know what you're gonna do now. Yeah, so for The SR education men's cutting program. We really wanted to do everything. So we do men's longer hair Medium lens and short hair. The long hair is not like man Bob's or anything like that, you know, it's like, you know You can cut it in your fingers, right? I Find when people come to class they struggle with one extreme or the other they're either So scared of a clipper or they're really scared of long hair So men's long hair can go girly super fast, right? So that's difficult. So we talk about shapes and we talk about Bone structure and we talk about how to build something to be suitable. Okay You know and all about strength in men's hair and not making it too feminine, right? The middle ends we talk about scissor of a comb Also, how to graduate through your fingers because a lot of people just pick up a machine, right? You know, you've got to be able to do it through your fingers as well Can you talk to people real quick? Yeah, what is your thought process on the difference between? Using the machine and using your fingers. Well, I think you should be able to do everything, right? I do tell I would feel more confident in the salon if I can do everything I think it keeps you fresh and excited because if you do it the same way every time you get a bit bored Yeah, right. So some clients. I'm gonna want to use a clipper some clients I'm gonna want to do it all with a barber income to get the same effect some clients, you know I don't know when use my feet whatever. All right. Yeah, so I think it's all good And I think everyone should know how to do everything. Okay, and then it's really up to you Obviously, there's some hair textures and densities that just do better with certain things But I suggest to all of the salons that I work with that everyone should know how to do everything Okay Just to make them stronger. You'll always have a passion like some people will just love scissor of a comb Yeah, and some people just love clipper work, right? I want to know how to do everything Yeah, because I need to understand hair, right? So let's talk about understand everything if you were to say your So you've built a great name for education for your for yourself your your own brand very new still team Right.  Well, my team. I have about nine educators right now Just taking two more on all of my team are super Dedicated and Just it's to me. It's all about people's attitude and vibe Yeah in our classroom the most important person is the student right hands down All of my educators are there to support them to help them It's not about them is about the person that's coming and paid money and wants to learn and right We just want to look after them make sure they have a great experience. How long ago did you start your company? I left the Sassoon organization about 40 years ago.  Thank you You know, I just realized I couldn't do the job that I did before I was the senior creative director in the Academy in Santa Monica And I needed more flexibility. So nothing against as soon as it was a big part of my life Right, but it was time to move on Yeah, and I'd always dreamed about doing a program that was for hairdressers in salons that were doing eight ten clients a day working five six days a week, right? Right. Yeah, it's got to fit into the appointment time Yeah, you've got to cut hair fast with some direction and some thought and get on with it Yeah, yeah, so I'd always been like Writing this program, you know on a rainy Wednesday afternoon in your mind, right? And now I just thought I'm gonna just try and do it. Okay, whatever happens happens.  Oh my god, because if you don't get up to what you're asked for You don't get any of it. Yeah, so you're up at like three in the morning checking. Yeah So and you hit the key barrier So you hit the Kickstarter you hit the amount and then that funded your DVDs and then each person that helped fund that what happened did they get various different things some people put money in and they got the first DVD that came hot off the press they all got credits In the on the DVD at the end and in the book and in the manual Some people are executive producers so they came and we got them a director's chair in the name on the back. That's fun And they're kind of honorary SR education, you know members, okay, you're allowed to come to class whenever they want to Hang out with us do whatever so they gave you guys a lot more money You know and some people bought a t-shirt. Cool. Whatever Yeah, it was amazing. We also got some YS Park SR education combs made in our color so they could buy that which was an exclusive one as well Okay, so lots of different things We got the DVD made it was like like I don't know well my husband's a producer Okay, produces music videos and commercials and everything so we ended up making a you know $350,000 Thing right like a hundred dollars. That's a hundred. I was like wow, that's great I don't think you needed a Kickstarter, but that's okay. It was yeah I could never have done it if I didn't have that situation. That's awesome That's the great thing about we pulled in every favorite week, right? People get so down on the internet and the social and all that but man like you you want to create a company It's so much. Yeah, you know you have so many opportunities now and it's really cool. So so You let so you're not at Sassoon So my big thing would be you've you've moved on you built your brand. What did you do different now? With what makes your education different? Yeah Then anybody not even sassoon, but just then anybody the biggest thing for me is to simplify your technique Yeah, and that's what I really teach people people Re-cut things three four times in the salon. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, we need to cut it once correctly Yeah, and if you have the knowledge and understand what you should be doing to get that end result You can be efficient. Yeah, I also tried to simplify What I was teaching people because they were doing techniques But they were doing it the long way and I really feel like and I don't know if it's just competition with all of the Big companies, but we've got to the point where People think it's only good if it's been really hard to learn right right It's really difficult.  Yeah, keep your clients stay on time You know retail look after them, right? That's cool, and that's that's the difference. Yeah, and that's great And I think that a lot of people we were having this conversation the entire week Yeah, and I've known it because you know like I said, I'm putting out videos every single day And I know which ones are going to be more popular than others the least complicated the video The more you know people do that Yeah, I think that that's the biggest thing is that sorry we had never know what's I think you know, I was the queen of complicated. Yeah, so is I've really changed my approach to teaching I was the person that put 500 sections in the top. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that I love it if I get the chance. Yeah, but not not real 90% of the people in this building are never going to take 500 sections But it's important to understand why You could take 500 sections because my brain like is too busy, right? Yeah, exactly. Oh, it's awesome. So tell me This is the question I've asked all day long. What is in the future for SR education? What's your next thought process? I've got so many projects that I want to do. I just don't have you know, the finances, right? Cost a lot of money to do everything that you want The next thing we want to do is a color program because that's what we're missing right now We have the men's the creative the women's foundation. We need to do a color program It's all written just got to film it. I just haven't had time to film it, right? The big thing is we have a virtual classroom coming out So obviously I never really wanted to bring it out on DVD, but that's financially what I had to do So we've built a platform to have a virtual classroom So you can actually go on do all of the haircuts in the classroom With tests and you know, it's like traffic school. Yeah, that's good So that's an opportunity for people to go in there and do that in their own time And maybe if they can't get to our class they can go and do it there. Yeah So that's a big thing for us My dream and what I want to do is to open a very small cosmetology school. Okay I feel like cosmetology It's very important. I love working with, you know, the up-and-coming people But I just feel like there's a need out there for To work with people that can't necessarily do Monday to Friday 9 to 5, right? So I want to try and just work with people that are very eager to learn but More part-time or that kind of thing. Yeah So I'm really trying to get that up and running next year We're branching out into You know abroad we're doing a lot of asia stuff Yeah, onwards and upwards. That's awesome. Endless. And how old is your son now? He's four and a half. He's four and a half. All right. He travels with me most of the time.  Yeah, then I have to keep him away from the debbies sometimes Yeah, well, I have an eight year old son. Do you? What do you know? Yeah, so and so he's in school so he can't travel but that's uh, so that's one of those, you know Yeah, it's hard But you know what you're making it happen and he did it for yourself and that's you know Like when when something like that's the whole beauty of this industry and what we've talked about all day long is You have You there was a thing in the road that happened.

Do you hear about the guy who got arrested for stealing Mortadella, Provolone, Salami, and other meats? Yeah, he was arrested for a deli crime. Intros get worse.  I'm Coremen. I'm Rick and you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Instagram, Twitter, Instagram, Twitter, Photon and the Blender, you get some personal YouTube channels links in the description. Today we are reacting to a song called Swades, A Journey of Self-Discovery. So we've reacted to a couple of videos from this channel, the actors one, the anatomy of an actor. Right. And then the behind the scenes of gangs, gangs of wasps. So this is Swades, A Journey of Self-Discovery. So this is the whole SRK Swades journey. Whoa, my stars. This is a very, very long thing. No, just do this. This video explores how Ashutosh Gaurakar, director, explored servant leader characteristics, a term coined by Robert K Greenleaf in 1970. Yeah, if you don't know the term servant leadership, it's batted around a lot within anyway. In Shahrukh Khan's character in this movie, it shows how SRK discovers himself in the course of this movie and becomes a servant leader from just being a leader. And servant leadership is a really common theme throughout a lot of the Protestant Church. And I'm sure within the Catholic Church in terms of true leadership is servant leadership, not just dictatorial pontification, but leading by example. So, and we talked about the two videos we've seen from this channel. So they very much, they seem to like cinema a lot and we liked Swades a lot. Yes. Outside of the ending, I prefer to end it different way. Yeah, I didn't, I liked it. But here we go. As the Indian population grew in the West, a new market to sell Hindi movies opened up. This led to a flurry of movies that played on the themes of nostalgia, preservation of Indian culture. Emotional return to the motherland. Oh, and Shahrukh Khan. A lot of Shahrukh Khan. Swades made in the same way present the similar emotion in disparate narrative. Loosely adapted from the stories of Bapakuti, Swades resembles that of Gandhi's early life. In fact, the character Mohan is named after Gandhi himself. Also, both of them study outside India, both go through a personal change after returning to India and eventually devote themselves in welfare of Indian people. Swades may be categorized amongst the very few subjective Hindi films. The film follows the plot, but the story is told from Mohan's point of view. Hence, to understand film's narrative, structure and flow, we have to understand the character's motive and how his quest to reunite with his past evolves into a journey of self-discovery, with him becoming a servant leader. Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy presented by Robert Greenleaf in an essay called The Servant as Leader. Traditional leadership evolves in accumulation and exercise of power by one at the top of the pyramid. By comparison, the servant leader shares power, puts the need of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible. According to Greenleaf, there are two extremes of leaders, servant first and leader first. Between them, there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature. When we meet Mohan, he is a project manager in NASA, a more leader first. He is haunted by the guilt over his inability to take care of his childhood mania. He sets out to correct his mistake and travel to India to bring her back to the US. In India, Mohan is looked up as a guest from a foreign nation, an outsider who once was an Indian. This is reflected in this scene when he is reminded of his nationality. And again during this scene. Goharikar portrays rural Indians as upholding a hierarchical understanding of leadership. There are moments in the film demonstrating the traditional view that the members of the highest class have an obligation to live up to their status by leading. Mohan's transformation from a hierarchical leader to a servant leader challenges his own and the village's perception of leadership. During one conversation, he is questioned about racial and economic injustice in the US. At the same time, he becomes increasingly aware of the oppressive gender and caste system at work. Mohan condensed these traditional practices and backwards, but then is questioned over his own right to criticize. Even Gita is good to challenge Mohan's right to judge Indian people over their lack of progress. Throughout the movie, the characters are involved in a conflict where the validity of traditional values in a local context go head to head with the contemporary values in a global context. Mohan realizes that if he has to achieve his intended motivations, then he has to let go of his hostile and judgmental views of Indian social order, at least temporarily. So for purely selfish reasons, he decides to help Gita recruit students for her school and mend his relationship with her. This is the first time Mohan displays the characteristic of a servant leader, that is healing and awareness, more specifically self-awareness. As the movie progresses, Mohan displays more and more servant leader characteristics, such as listening, persuasion, and community building. The turning point in Mohan's personal journey comes when he is sent to collect the rent from Haridas. Haridas laments the devastation in his life caused by the drought on the one hand and by the rejection of the community on the other. After listening to the misery he has been and his inability to feed his children and parents, Mohan cannot hide the empathy he feels towards Haridas. He is visibly disturbed and deeply moved by this encounter. A farmer who lives as an outcast in his own community, Mohan treats him with a great deal of compassion and gentleness. By sending Mohan on this journey, Kaveri Amma plants an important seed of self-doubt in Mohan's mind towards his own purpose in India and his personal growth. In a subsequent confrontation with the village elders, Mohan engages in an enough struggle over the meaning of misery and injustice he has witnessed. During another power shutdown, Mohan accuses villagers for their attitude of living in the town, both literally and metaphorically. With the help of villagers, he decides to build a hydropower plant that would generate electricity for the entire village. This is a key event where Mohan is finally transformed from a judgmental outsider to a productive member of the community and a servant leader. His efforts empower the villagers and help them take their needs in their own hands. But this personal transformation comes at a personal cost. Both Kaveri Amma and Geetha, who may eventually fall in love with, refuse to leave the village and Mohan returns to the United States alone. He is now haunted by the images of time he spent back in Charenpur, stirring an inner struggle to the point where he decides to leave the already successful and comfortable life in the US and return to India. So this depicts a transformative journey in a story that is profound in his humanity. It deals with themes of social injustice, social change and personal transformation. Goarika uses water and life as metaphors for unifying human needs, technology and nature for unifying global perspectives with local. But the film is hardly free of loss. So this suffers mostly due to its inconsistent pacing. The misplacement of certain songs, certain it doesn't help. Cinematography at times feels sluggish. The subplot involving Mohan falling in love with Geetha does more harm to its narrative focus than good. And for the movies set in early 2000, some of the dialogues sound straight from the 80s melodrama. But despite his technical downsides, Sodeh flourishes due to his strong focus on characterization. Just like Goarika's previous film, Vagan, Sodeh's tells the story of good triumphing over evil. This time, however, evil has no face but is equated with a regressive ideology. The enemy lies within in the form of passive acceptance of ingested by those who suffer and ignores by those who witness it. Mohan Varga helps the villages of Charanpur in identifying this enemy, teaching them to fight it while at the same time learning from them how to fight the enemy within himself. I don't think the aim of the movie was to lure and analyze back to India with the bait of nostalgia. Goarika did want to engage them in a dialogue where they were forced to rethink the notion of a good life. But at no point in the movie, Goarika argues that serving the nation of your origin should be the only way of living a good fulfilled life. Neither is he using Mohan's decision to come back to India as a shame in device. In a country where we are delusional to his greatness, Sodeh's tried to give a reality check. In a time when Hindi movies are consumed and forgotten in no time, Sodeh's had managed to stay relevant for a lot of Indian audience. This goes to show the values Mohan fights in the film are still lurking under our collective consciousness. Maybe then it is time to shape the role of a passive judgmental consumer and become an active contributor. What do you think? No, I like his narration. I think he especially coming from and it's obviously different coming from us stuff that we would appreciate about the film is different than somebody who's native to India and knows all the cultural nuances that the film was trying to say. Whereas we are just looking at mostly it's like a film right that's more teaching as opposed to us imposing what we think the film is telling. Even though we do pick up on some stuff we're not going to pick up as much as no a native indeed. No and I too I agree the majority of the stuff that he was pointing out I thought was very insightful and on the money. Yeah. My you know my I my only disagreement is first of all I think I think the songs are great. I think they're great. Yeah and I think the love I don't think that the love story was a distraction. I think the love story isn't is the essential. I think love I don't think he comes to the realizations that he articulated here unless he falls in love. I think the love he has for her and which allows him I don't think he would have been teachable by her or anyone else in that village if he hadn't allowed his heart to open up through love. I don't think he would have loved that man if he hadn't first felt the love he had for her and I think the love for her is the door that opened up everything the love of the people the love of India realizing he wasn't doing a job that he loved which is why it makes his saying goodbye at the end and her giving him that representative box of everything that he has found he loves she's she's the fulcrum she's the reason I think he finds that I don't think she's an ancillary side story that's just there to give you some kind of romantic thrill I think it's freaking foundational. There's some debate. I can't remember it's been so long since I watched it I remember I wanted it to end when he was driving away I think that's what I said when he left India I think yeah yeah and I didn't I needed him to come back I think that's what I wanted I think I was like I life happens yeah I needed him to go back to the woman he loves and the place that was home and get back to him pursuing what really matters in life not the ideal he had when he was a young man and was like I'm gonna leave India and I'm gonna go get this career and I'm gonna make money he was alone and empty pursuing all of that and she got him reconnected to all the things that really mattered in life not just for him I absolutely agree this thing will stand the step to test the time because it's university has yeah it's what 30 years now almost it's speaking about the universal experience of people and universal truth of what what really matters it's why it is for me I mean my favorite performance of his is my name is con yeah but my favorite film of his is is this one I have to think yeah it's it's this one for me I know you don't like it that much Devdas is really high for me but this is if someone was to say to me you know my favorite acting to look at his acting chops it's my name is con but as far as my favorite film the one I would watch over and over again the movie has more flaws and my name is con than this movie than this one yeah my name is con is more has more flaws correct than this film correct um but this film is also I believe a lot longer well it's like three hours right director of laghan what do you expect it's like three hours right yeah I remember yeah um but yeah great analysis like this very good analysis I would love it'd be interesting because I have always people that ask like would you ever like collaborate with other people I would actually love to in in some of our views actually have an Indian with us I would too that that can one give us a different perspective and also we can see because like obviously and like we said a native Indian will pick up so many things that us as an American won't that we have not grown up with and I would love it regionally too because for example like I then Durrani was here yeah she's an Indian woman yeah but she's Bengali yeah so her perspective and her life experience is definitively Bengali Indian yeah versus somebody who came from South India yeah or from the north yeah you know somebody who's who has seen life through the eyes of a psalm is not going to be the same as someone who saw it over in uh Roger's you know you name the place yeah so yeah really cool uh let us know what other videos we should react to down below
