Knowledge is power, like any power. The power of knowledge can be a temptation, a temptation to take advantage of people, a temptation to lord it over people. It's been so long since I was ordained a priest, almost 40 years ago, that I don't remember how. I used all the knowledge I gained in the seminary. But some of you may be aware of priests ordained in recent years. I am. I'm proud of the priests that I've been able to ordain. What a great honor. But I also know that sometimes newly minted priests can use their knowledge to lord it over people. Father knows best. I know this because sometimes people call or write to me. We have this new priest, and he says, and yet in our scripture readings today, God is conveying to people marvelous knowledge. To Moses, he is beginning to reveal his plan of the exodus, leading the people out of slavery to the promised land. Now, of course, we know that God has already established a covenant with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, but in a sense that has gone dormant as the people have suffered in slavery in Egypt. But God is now ready to renew that covenant and to bring it bursting forth when the people leave Egypt and come into the promised land. And Moses is the agent that God will use to lead the people. And God is now through this burning bush beginning to reveal to Moses this great plan. Incredible knowledge that is. And for Moses to be told that he will be the lead agent. And in the gospel, Jesus says to his disciples or about his disciples as he prays rather to the Father, great things will be revealed to them. These simple people, not the clever, not the wise and learned, but to these simple people will be revealed those things that have been hidden, things that we know, things that we know. But why does God allow us to know these things? Why does God inspire people like you to come to Franciscan University in the middle of the summer to attend the Moscow conference or other conferences like it?  Why does God allow people like you and me to be able to stand at a certain position and look at life in ways that are different from the way other people look at life? Some years ago, I had to earn a doctorate in Canada Law. The class part was OK, but writing a thesis was absolutely wretched. And ever since, I can't stand to write anything. So the night, for example, I'm expected to give a talk here, and I had to write it. Painful, truly painful. But every month, I write a column for our Diocesan magazine. Now, I can talk. I can talk forever, but I just don't like to write. But I discipline myself to write the column for the Diocesan paper. But I scratch my head every month. What should I write about? What would be interesting enough? What would be informative enough? What would be inspiring enough for the people of Diocese of Joliet to read in this time when people don't read much anyway? And what is it that I want to discipline myself to sit down and write about? But one of the temptations that I face is having knowledge and knowing the truth. And I'm not talking about truth as I see it, because that's how our world operates, how I see it.  I just finished writing my column for September on the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage. It's not a subject on which a bishop can equivocate, come across as a know-it-all, pass judgment on people. I might know the truth of God, but I am not God. Our feast today, St. Bonaventure, great Franciscan, appropriate that we should be here at Franciscan University to celebrate it. A very learned man, doctor of the church. He also happened to be a bishop and a cardinal. See, even bishops can be smart. But he was a very humble man at the same time. God wants us to know him. God wants us to know his truth, the truth that he has so graciously and generously revealed to us. And God wants us to share that truth with the world. That's what we have been sent to do. But we must always avoid the temptation to be proud, to be arrogant. It's a delicate balance. Perhaps that's why at the end of the day, Jesus chose the simplest of people to be his disciples. But now he has chosen us to go forth, to proclaim the truth, fearlessly and fully, but always to know that it has been revealed to us when the sight of God are the childlike.


My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and today I'm sharing a simple and delicious recipe for red velvet cookies with cream cheese icing. So let me show you what you're going to need and as always, I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. For the cookie portion, you are going to need a package of sugar cookie mix. You're going to need softened butter, a room temperature egg, and room temperature sour cream, some red food dye, and unsweetened cocoa. For the icing, you're going to need cream cheese, which is softened, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. So let's get started. So we're going to start off by combining our sugar cookie mix and our unsweetened cocoa. And I'm just going to whisk this together until it's all combined. So now I'm going to add my softened butter, my sour cream, my egg, and my food color. And I'm just going to stir this up until it is well combined. Okay, so I've got my dough all mixed up and it's a soft dough. And I did get in there with my hands just to make it a little bit easier. I've got a one inch cookie scoop here and I'm just going to scoop out some dough, roll it up, and then just place it on the cookie sheet. So these are ready for the oven. I have my oven preheated to 350 degrees. I'm going to bake these for about 10 to 12 minutes or until that center is set. All right, so while our cookies are baking, let's work on that cream cheese icing in my bowl. I've got my softened cream cheese and butter. I just added in a little bit of vanilla. I'm just going to mix this up and I'm just going to add in the powdered sugar a little bit at a time. So I just took the second batch of cookies out of the oven, which are these right here. And these I flatten because I forgot these cookies, they really don't spread much. So however you put them on the cookie sheet is how they stay. So this is the first batch of cookies right here. And like I said, this is the second batch. So I'm just going to let these cool completely and then we'll get them all iced up. Okay, so the cookies are cool enough to ice. And I am just going to put a large dollop of that icing right on top. So the cookies are all iced up and then I took an extra cookie and just kind of crumbled it on top. Of course, you don't have to do that at all. And then here are the rest of the cookies. Let it and ice all of them how it's not a big icing fan. But as you can see, this is such a quick and easy recipe. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed to our channel, we'd love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.


When teaching colors to young kids I always like to help them make associations with the color. It can be as easy as just having the crayon So today we're learning the color red. The kids look at the color red and I asked them to look at their clothes Look down. Am I wearing red? If the kids are wearing red They can stand up and we can go around the circle and share Who has red socks on or red shirts or red shoes or red bows in their hair? But I keep continually saying red if it's just as simple as the crayon keep it that way But I also like to have the kids go around the room and find red objects. I found a red fluff I found a red hat. I found a red apple Continuing to say the color reds they associate the color with the object. I found a red wagon I also enjoy having pictures up in the classroom So they can see this is red and as the learning continues They start to recognize the letters of the color and how to spell the color and then added bonus add another language So red in English, rojo in Spanish One of my kids favorite songs is a book that was created from a teacher long ago called crazy color creatures I have the kids come up to my easel and they'll point to the color and say what color is it? Coral response the color is red.


You may have seen the Lucidream Bootcamp advertised online or on my website, and really I just wanted to introduce the idea to you and explain why it works. So this is obviously a review. For those of you who don't know, I created the Lucidream Bootcamp. It's the most effective Lucidreaming course on HouseofLucid.com. And there have been a lot of questions about, how does it work? Why is it any different to other eBooks and courses? And is it right for you? Because at the end of the day, there are loads of eBooks on courses on Lucidreaming, there's tons of them. Some of them are good, some of them not so good, but really they also share, the ones I've seen at least seem to share one thing, and that is that they're a book or a course, in the sense that they're something you read, and then hopefully you learn something and then you are able to do something, in this case, Lucidreaming. So let's just jump right into it. The main problem with eBooks or books or courses is that what tends to happen is you'll read them, you'll buy them first, you'll read them, you'll get excited about the idea of being able to do the thing, right? In this case, Lucidreaming. And then what will happen is you'll read a few chapters, start practicing and implementing the things, maybe it's reality checks, maybe it's writing your dreams down, whatever it is. And then what will happen is as time goes on, you'll start to do less and less of it. So maybe you'll try a reality check for a few days, practice it really well, and then you'll go back to the book and you'll think, well, what's the next thing? What do I need to do next? And then maybe life gets in the way, you have a week of solid working, I don't know what it is, maybe you go back to university, maybe you go on holiday. The point is you're interrupted and you're never able to really learn and practice the skills, right? The reason that the bootcamp is different is because it goes against all of that. And so instead of just giving you something to read and hopefully learn, it gives you step-by-step instructions of what to do on each day. So it's a printable template.  It's like an obstacle course. So it tells you exercises to do on each specific day for 30 days. The idea being that if you follow them, if you do them every single day for the month, then you will have a lucid dream.  I know what works, right? So I've been reading courses, books, manuals, I've been practicing things, I've been talking to people. I know what works. And so that's why I've made a sort of series of exercises that if you follow them, will make sure you lucid dream. It's a guarantee, okay? And that's actually the reason that I have a guarantee on the course is because it will make you lucid dream. And if it doesn't, either you're doing something wrong or it's a very, very unlucky exception. But for that reason, there's a money back guarantee and if it doesn't work, you get your money back anyway. So it is guaranteed. There's no risk for you at all. But that's the boring stuff. That's the sort of technical fine print. The point I'm getting at is that it's different to a book. It tells you what to do and it sort of walks you through what you need to do every day for the month. Now, no other book does that. This is a calendar. It literally tells you on each day of the month what you need to be practicing, what you need to be doing, the exercises, the techniques, the reality checks, the triggers, all of that stuff. It tells you exactly, step by step, exactly what you need to do. So there really not any way you could go wrong with this, okay? And the reason it's so effective and the reason there are so many testimonials for it is because if you follow the steps, right? A lot of people won't. A lot of people will buy this just like any other products. They won't do it and they won't get results.  Maybe not the first night, maybe not even the first week, but definitely within the first two to three weeks. And if you don't, then obviously you can email me, you've got lifetime email support on the bootcamp. But I just wanted to make this video. Obviously it's unscripted. I'm here in my lounge. It's very unscripted because I don't like to edit my words. I like to sort of flow naturally and let you guys understand that this is genuine. This is genuinely me. It's not edited. It's no flashy gimmicky sales video. This is just me, a looted dreamer, who I've created a product. I've proven that it works and I'm just sort of explaining to you that there is no risk with this. It's different to books because it tells you what to do. And that's the main sort of selling point. It tells you what to do. And if you follow the steps, it makes you build up the habits. And I'd like to finish on this point, I guess. If you imagine if you were gonna be a bodybuilder, for example, you can read all the books on bodybuilding that you like. You could read thousands of them, right? But until you actually step in the gym and start exercising, start working out and moving your body, nothing's gonna change. You could read all the books you want, nothing's gonna change until you actually start doing the exercises and moving and doing what you need to do. Practicing, right? And that's why this is entirely focused. The whole bootcamp course is focused on just getting you to do the things. It's made it so simple and easy to follow that it's just focused on getting you to have a one track mind and just focus on doing what you need to do. And as a result, you're looted dream. It's as simple as that, okay? Now, obviously there are people who like reading and if you want to go more in depth and have more detail, there is actually a really big, hugely detailed e-book that comes with the Looser Dream Bootcamp and it explains the exercises, the techniques, the methods, the science behind it, as well as a load of other things. There's also even three bonus e-books worth over $40, $50, which are just there as another bonus for you guys to make it even more of a no-brainer. They're not as there as a sales tactic. They're there just to convince you to buy because I know that if you do buy and if you do follow the steps every day for the month, you'll lose a dream and then everyone wins, okay? You'll become one of the testimonials of the Bootcamp. You know, I will have hopefully helped another person to lose a dream and everyone's a winner. So yeah, at the moment there is a sale on. If you're watching this, the date is now 23rd of March, 2018. There's a seven day sale on where you can get it for $999. That's including all the bonuses, the Bootcamp course, lifetime access, everything. This is the lowest price it's ever been. If you're watching this in the future, it'll probably be higher because the sale will have ended. But even so, this is hopefully the most genuine review of the Bootcamp that you can see or read or watch, listen to because it's me talking about my own product. So obviously I'm gonna be slightly biased but at the same time, this is unscripted. I'm explaining why and how it works and hopefully you can see that. Hopefully that's somehow resonated with you and you understand that yeah, you probably have read a few books in the past but how many of them have you actually implemented? How many books have you read and actually done the things and actually managed to learn the skill or do the thing? It's not often gonna be a lot of them because humans are lazy. We procrastinate, we read things, we like the idea of something but it takes a lot to actually get us to act and to actually change our habits and even build new habits. And that's what you need to do to lose the dream. You need to build new habits, change your behavior. So I'm gonna wrap this up here. If you would like to have a read of people's testimonials, click the link in the description down below and if not, I will see you next time.


When you first meet the narcissist, they idealize you. They see you as being perfect. But it isn't long until they begin to devalue you. Until they begin to take everything they gave to you. They no longer care about your feelings. They no longer seem to love you. They no longer affectionate.  To make you question your own value. To make you think that no one else would want you.  They will tell you things like that all the time. So that it conditions you into thinking that you're no good for anyone else. Which then causes you to stay in the relationship. Because you believe everything they say. You trust that what they're saying is the truth. They want you to think that no one else would want you other than them. As though they're as good as it gets for you. As though you will never find anything better. Because then they can treat you however they like. And you'll just put up with it. They want you to feel like no one else will love you. No one else will appreciate you. No one else will care for you. And they do this by devaluing you. By making you feel like you're not good enough. Because by doing that. It then isolates you from anyone else who could give you value. Anyone else who could give you what they're not giving to you. They want to isolate you from people who could give you value. Because those people are trying to give something to you. While the narcissist is trying to take value away from you. But they're trying to make you think that they're giving you your value. Which is why they want to isolate you from anyone who makes you think you're worth more. Anyone who makes you think you're special. Because the narcissist wants you to think you're not worth anything. So that they can get what they want from you. Without paying the price for what you're worth. Which is how the only way you can leave a narcissistic relationship. Is by realising your worth. By giving yourself the value that you deserve. Because the narcissist is never going to give you that value. And they're not going to want anyone else to give that to you. They want to isolate you from anyone who could bring value to your life. Because they want to be your only source of validation. They want to tell you how to think. They want to tell you how to see yourself. They want you to think that you're the problem. Which is why they will do horrible things to you. And then blame you for it. And if you try to leave. They will make you feel guilty. They will make you feel like you're doing something wrong. No matter what they do to you. They will always leave you feeling like you're the problem. And the more time you spend around them. The more you will believe it. Because you're listening to them. You're taking it in. You're digesting this information. Which is why you have to stop letting them talk. Because it's having an effect on you. It's changing the way you think. It's changing the way you see yourself. Because the more you hear it. The more you start to agree with it. So if they keep telling you you're not good enough. If they keep telling you you're the problem. If they keep pointing out your faults and mistakes. You're going to start to believe them. It's brainwashing. You may not believe them at first. But if you hear it enough times. You're going to start to believe them. While a person who isn't with a narcissist. Doesn't have to hear any of that. They don't have to hear these constant insults and put downs. But when you're constantly around the narcissist. And you're hearing all of this stuff. Eventually you will begin to believe it. Because you've heard it so many times. It gradually distorts your mind until you lose touch with reality. You enter the illusion. You enter their shared fantasy. And you begin to believe anything they say to you. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonates with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe. If you would like to donate.

Welcome. This year's edition of the Lightning Talks, we have a small but perfectly formed audience. We have a small but perfectly formed lineup. Five lovely Lightning Talks, and we're starting with Stephen Paul Webber talking about view extibility in frame users from Learned Help Business. It appears to be on, yeah. Okay, so when I first started thinking about this topic, I used to think that this topic was about non-technical users, which is usually what we think, right? I'm good, we're all good, we do everything great, and then we have to fix the problems for the non-technical users. But actually everyone has this problem. So the problem is that when you use your computer, you get used to it, and then things change and you hate that. That's basically the problem. And it turns out that everyone hates this, right? If you remove a switch from a common terminal command, you will see it on the mailing list, right? If you completely change the name of that code. How many people still type apt get? Because their fingers can't remember not to type get. Right? We all do this. It's just that because we're building the software and we care about our own workflows more, we make these changes less often to ourselves. And so if somebody who learned how to use Unix a long time ago can get a box today and be mostly like, oh yeah, I can still list files, I can still go around everything. There's been changes, but nothing too major. On the graphical front, we don't do this, right? Because we're like, oh, I had a new idea for what is better. Right? This is a new, better user experience, new better design, new better whatever. And so we change things. But in our community, we do a little bit better because usually someone doesn't like it and they fork the old one, right? So when you get num3, then you get monty, right? And everybody's happy again a little bit. So we do a little bit better in our community, but over on the other side, where most of the non-technical users still are because that's where I started when I was thinking about this topic, they don't get that freedom, right? And so they're using their computer today and then it becomes slow. And so they go to Best Buy and they say to the guy in the store, why is my computer slow? And he says, because you didn't pay me $1,000 for a new one, obviously. So they got a new one and they take it home and nothing works the way that it did before. And so this leads to what is often called learned helplessness, where instead of wanting to understand how the system works because then they will be able to use it better, they decide the system doesn't work. And so there's no point in learning. And so you see there's a big trend that people not wanting to invest in understanding, how to build workflows for themselves with their systems because they know that in three years they will go get a new one and nothing will work. And so there's no point. They're gonna have to learn again anyway. And so I think that this is a big opportunity for our community to serve the needs not only of ourselves by keeping our terminal commands still mostly working the same, but also everyone else not by just making GUIs that are maybe pretty, but by making them be familiar and remain familiar over time. So usually when I talk about stability, especially in a devian context, people think of a backcourting. But backcourting has all kinds of problems because if you wanna backcourt all the new functionality, well, functionality, you don't necessarily like bug fixes, security things for a really, really long time to keep this familiarity. You can imagine this would get very hard after 10 years, 15 years, 20 years. But there are other technical options that you could use. For example, you could port forward only the things that are necessary to change user experience because it's not really porting in the way that we think of security, right? Usually we think of like take the new code, bring it back. But with user experience, the user doesn't care what the code is, right? This is maybe a little bit more of an upstream problem, but upstream doesn't care because they have a new idea for the new design. So somebody has to do this. I don't know who has to do it. Maybe it's us, maybe it's somebody else. But when you port forward user experience, it's not like I copy this code and put it here. It's like I see it and now I make it the same. I don't know. Something like this. How much time do I have? Am I done? Two minutes? Okay. Tell me why I'm wrong. Shout out things at me. Come on, go. Nobody?  A practical example. So in Firefox, because this is one of the ones that's going to change most often, for example, if you install Firefox today, you get this button with the three lines on it and you don't have a menu bar. That's fine if you're used to things changing, but not fine if you don't want things to change. How hard is it to make that not in the case anymore? It's not even that hard. I think it's a config change because they still have the menu there in the code. They haven't even removed that yet. So if we wanted to ship a browser that still looked and felt more like, and it's all incremental, making it exactly the same as like a lofty goal, but more like, imagine that you ship configuration such that Firefox still uses the menu bar, actually the distro that I run on my wife's laptop because that's very helpful for her. And so that's a practical example, I think of this kind of thing where anytime I see in a change lock, visual refresh, right? This is a sign that bad times are ahead for all the people that I support because even a visual refresh just means we drew lots of nice new icons, but the buttons are all in the same place. Well, they're used to this icon and now they have to come and say where is everything. And so this is a problem we have, this is a problem everyone has and we solve it for ourselves because we build the software and I think that we should solve it for everyone. This is, just a moment, please. Is he here? No, no, it's not you. No, he's not here, he'll tell us about the status of Prometheus and Debian some other time. Next, Chris is telling us about native de-packaged user as all the packages. Justin, go. Hello, my name is Prison and I'd like to introduce a Debian native approach to user-resolvable packages. When as a user we want to use, for example, the CID version of OpenSCAD on a system we are not root on, there's a stable system we do, something like this, right? Well, not quite. We can't, by default, we can't use apt and de-packaged to install packages somewhere outside where the user is readable. Through the last week, I have assembled some, basically, workarounds that make this work. So, for example, to use OpenSCAD as a user, you can use a workaround script that mostly makes the directory and installs a source list file, then run apt update, apt install, and you end up with, even with an icon in the desktop, in the applications menu and things work fine. This is just built on Debian dependencies so there are no additional guarantees with some of the image-based or more container-ish solutions, so it's just, as a user, you install that, you rely on what's on the system, so if that goes away, as with anything else you're doing as a user, things might break, and if you want to do the minimal approach, that is, for example, if you're installing some game that has three or four dependency trees, at most of them, on your system, you can, with that, minimally install that, so you just have the game itself on maybe the three or four dependencies that are not installed yet, but that requires being in a compatible versioning scheme, so in Debian, and not, for example, playing this game between Debian and Ubuntu where there might be an epoch, there's no sandboxing involved because I see that as an orthogonal issue, and basically, I think it should be trivial. So, why is this more than setting paths so far? It's usually because applications either don't respect the path, like most do by now, or, for example, because they hard-code the path-like user share, but there's actually a specification of how an application could inspect its environment or read environment variables to discover where its assets are, and it turns out that GDK does that, QT does that, and all applications that use one of those libraries to discover the assets just magically work without any of their grants. The path I spend most time working around is maintain a script because, going back a bit, if we're doing something like that, and that invokes the package with a dedicated root directory, barely any maintain a script, knows that there is a variable called dPackageRoot, because that's not why the advertise yet because it's a relatively new feature of dPackage, but I think that, right now, it's being implemented in dPackage's tools itself, so it's just coming up and getting started, but I think that if we just follow a few basic guidelines of maybe not touching slash var slash something in post instance scripts, but maybe touching dPackageRoot slash var, then we can make something like this work out of the box without too much effort. So this is an approach that works very well for games. This is actually what I started for. It works well for typical kind of leaf applications. Unless the application needs one of the workarounds for, as I mentioned, xdzRoot, it works without any changeRoot, LDP reload, or other prickery, and it's usable right away now, but just not package for quite a few packages. So if you think that this is a good idea, a bad idea, or have any other comments, please contact me, and please try it out as soon as I publish it, in which case I will sign a link to that conflict, to announce that. Thank you. Next up is Marga talking about Google's internal minutes. Just a moment. All right, so I work for the internal Linux distribution that it's used at Google for desktops and laptops and a few servers. And if you, okay, I have, we have a nice demo, which is a penguin that we like very much. If you had asked us last year which team I work for, I would have told you that I work for Gubuntu team because we were based on Ubuntu, so we have this like super original name of being called Gubuntu. But if you asked me this year which team I work for, I now work for Gilynux team. So why is that? It's because we are no longer being based on Ubuntu. We are moving to be based on Devian. Particularly we're going to be based on Devian testing, which some people might think it's a bit crazy. Yeah, so I had a talk a few days ago someone that already thought we were moving to Devian and asked me like, are you interested in coming to the LTS talk? I was like, no, that's not what we are doing. So we are going to be based on Devian. How are we doing this? We are going to take each package that comes from Devian testing, rebuild it, test it, and whether it pass the test goes into the release and if it doesn't pass the test, we will file about internally, not externally. Not into the BTS. I was just at the auto-package test and they were like, no, no, no automatic backfiring. Well, we have automatic backfiring, but it's internal. Yeah, and the tests include our own tests plus the auto-package tests. Well, we are not yet doing the auto-package test, but they will include it very soon now. Right, and this is how we expect that we will be able to handle being based on testing by doing a lot of testing. So when is this happening? We are currently in Alta State. We have a few hundred users and we are launching Beta next week on August 16th, which happens to be Devian Thursday. It was not originally planned to be that date. We plan to release Beta much earlier, but things happen. It's such a nice date. And yeah, it's such a nice date that let's say it was intentional. And after that, so we will be moving to Beta and after that we'll see, depending on how our Beta goes. Like we do take the Devian philosophy of we release when it's ready. So eventually it will be released. Do I have another one? No. So one thing that I didn't put in the slides, but I told a couple of people and they all went crazy. We were running Ubuntu trustee up to now. And we have a tool that upgrades in place from trustee to stretch blockbuster to whatever is faster now. And it works. It's incredible. It's like there's smashing involved. Like if you have trustee, then there's smashing and then you have faster. Yeah, anyway, that's it. Thank you very much. Thank you. Talking about making his own plan to start. So yeah, this is somehow, it's more about open software like the Devian and what I did with open software, so open source. So yeah, I moved to a new place. And yeah, I realized that I had issues. I had issues with the heating system and the windows issue is not related to Microsoft the one which you open if you want fresh air in and it was just too cold and I would need to replace them, et cetera, et cetera. However, I'm more like a geek guy. So I'm not really good at replacing the windows, especially in the winter. However, I realized that I might be able to optimize a little bit like how the heating goes and when it turns on, when it switches off, et cetera. So for example, if I like about to go home, I can just check like what the temperature is and I can tune in. So that was the main idea here. Yes, this is what I said, multiple rooms. There was just one thermostat, not in the room which I was interested to be like properly heated. So this is what I did. Yeah, I can, I have a remote switch and with that I can switch on and off the heating. I have data collected. So I have graphs which I can look at and there are like, yeah, I can measure the temperature in different parts of the house and yeah, I have no cloud. I have no like black box products which do some matching which I have no idea about. The internet is optional. So if I'm like locally there, I can just switch on and off without going out to the internet. And this is how I did it. This is not that interesting. Yeah, there is also air pressure collected because one of the devices is also does air pressure. And I also downloaded some kind of like Android app which talks amputee and this can, I can just tap on these locations and I can just switch on like different devices and like I can just switch on the heating or I can switch it off. Yeah. So I have this kind of thermostat. I need it to upgrade it to a different one but the point is if I connect the relay to it I can just inhibit the heating or turn it on. Let it go according to the, like the setup on the thermostat. This is what I have. If I connect the two wires here then the heating is off. If I open the connection, the heating is off. That's the main idea. And I put there an ESP, okay, thanks. I put there a device like this. Yeah, sorry, just a bit of short on time. So this is an ESP microcontroller. I can, I put some like low interpreter it. It's a free software.  It connects to my Wi-Fi, it speaks MQTT. So it's like a public subscribe kind of protocol. And yeah, I can switch it on and off. This is one module which measures the temperature for me and also can measure the air pressure. Yeah, just a few pictures which I have. Yeah, it works like this. I connect to some, the MQTT is a binary protocol. I connect to it with some special client. It's all open source. It's called, for example, there is a broker called Mosquito. And this is similar with like long-lived HTTP connections, but it's a binary protocol. Okay, okay. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, I have a few links at the end. That's all I have. Sorry, a bit short on time. I'm excited for the last minute. Has anybody seen Teen Show? Nope. Well, I will give a quick talk on what's new in the Debian kernel, maybe. In short, I have no idea. As you may have noticed, Ben Hutchings is at that conference this year. So there's no kernel talk. I offered to give it a instead, you know, do a bit of a PowerPoint career.  I can do like, you know, he's like, talks don't work that way. So I can just encourage you to follow Ben Hutchings UK on Twitter because he posts when there's a new kernel release and, you know, update and link update often. That's it. And there are no more lightning talk sessions, but there is a live demo session tomorrow in Rex at 11. Thank you very much. You've been a lovely audience.


Over the past months, the Government of St. Lucia has been in talks with Virgin Atlantic as it pertains to the airline flights to our destination from the UK market. During those talks, Virgin Atlantic indicated to local tourism officials that in order to continue flying five weekly flights in the winter months and three weekly flights in the summer months into St. Lucia, it would require an additional 20 million Eastern Caribbean dollars or US dollars 7.5 million over a three-year period. Two other options were presented to us, which would mean a significant reduction in Virgin flights to our shores and did not present the best return on a potential investment. It is our strong belief that agreeing to Virgin Atlantic's demands for a multi-million dollar subsidy would have opened the doors for other carriers to also request similar subsidies from us. In fact, upon hearing the news that Virgin Atlantic had requested subsidies from four Caribbean governments, namely St. Lucia, Antigua, Tobago and Grenada, at least one other carrier from the UK market approached us for similar discussions. While the Government of St. Lucia appreciates the need for governments from time to time to share the financial risk on new flights until the maturing of a respective route Virgin's request goes against our principle having been operating in St. Lucia for 21 years. St. Lucia presently supports Virgin Atlantic flights with marketing agreements annually, but presently has no subsidy arrangements with any airline in any other tourism market. Virgin Atlantic represents 7% of total global arrivals to St. Lucia. To proactively address any fallout that this may cause, the Government of St. Lucia has been actively in talks with other carriers and we have received very good feedback from at least one airline to increase capacity out of the UK market in the very near future. Here to date May 2019 St. Lucia has recorded an 18% growth from the UK market over the same period last year. We anticipate even further growth in our restructured marketing thrust to maximise more of our marketing spend on brand St. Lucia. From all indications, the demand for St. Lucia in the UK market is very strong and remains among the leading Caribbean destinations in the UK. In fact, the numbers suggest that from the English-speaking Caribbean, St. Lucia is second only to Barbados in tourist arrivals from the UK. Therefore, the Government of St. Lucia recognises that St. Lucia remains one of the most aspirational Caribbean destinations among UK customers. We will continue to dialogue with Virgin Atlantic to arrive at a possibly mutually beneficial relationship sometime in the future. I thank you.


It's deep and it's dark and it's spooky That's a hot mug guy Hey guys, this is my review for underwater and I actually really like this movie I have a guilty pleasure for stories that take place in the water Especially of the depths of the Marianas trench. I've read at least four novels with almost the exact same setting Just different sort of premises. This is just something that is a combination of my two biggest fears One of unknown water and two of dark unknown creatures that are in the water The film pretty much doesn't waste any time with starting with having the drilling operation Just completely start to collapse and then we get to start to learn about these characters One being Kirsten Stewart along with the other survivors she comes across Thing that right off the bat that I started to enjoy is that these characters are written well in terms that they're not stupid There were several points in the movie where I thought okay This is the point where they're gonna do something stupid because that's just the status quo of these kind of movies, right? But no, I would say there's maybe one Maybe kind of bad decision in this whole film But they are smart characters and it helps to build the horror because the horror is really well done I'm kind of curious at how they made this movie considering a lot of the shots or them in the water with the suits on And it looks like kind of a mix of gravity's technology in terms of how they put them in the suits and just how they're shooting it And sometimes you don't know whether the suits are real or whether they're CG But what the film does exceptionally well is putting you into this fear of claustrophobia this fear of unknown darkness and terror There's a lot of shots where they're really up close high aperture very claustrophobic really close in with the characters Both in the suits and out of the suits every time they're in the water They really do establish just the blankness of it the complete unknown the inability to see a button in front of them There are some shots in the film where they show these Facility just like completely lit up and that's impossible light can't Travel that far in the depths that deep they do take some liberties admittedly with how the technology work There's some sort of to be thing for air but at that depth it wouldn't work Do you ever wanted to see a film that talks about that kind of aspect watch the abyss? They actually had a means of technology that would work for that sort of situation Which by the way this movie borrows a lot of things from it, but doesn't completely rely off of it Which I appreciate obviously the guys were a fan of this film They take a little few aspects from it and then they turn it into their own film in this one If I had any big complaints about the movie it would be that's too short There's a lot of things that you see that they're trying to build because they're not only building these characters and building this terror They're taking what little time they have to show the areas that they're in the Character of the ship of the whole facility and I would have actually appreciated more time with that because the movie Goes at a pretty good pace it never lets you stop for a second most of the times That's done very poorly it's done too quickly the editing is too choppy the pacing and the editing in this film are very well done The fact that the guys who made this movie have never made anything exceptional both the director and the writers apparently this film was finished back in 2017 but because of the Fox and Disney merger took up until now for it to be released But in the end I think that underwater is the movie that I would very much like to see in theaters again I had good genuine tension I felt that the mythos of the film had some cool ideas while it kind of goes a little weird at the end I still feel that this is a really fun time throughout the whole film. It's well shot. It's well put together It's just generally a really good horror movie. I'm gonna give underwater a five out of seven I really really thought this was a good time Anyways guys I hope you enjoyed this review if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more maybe subscribe Otherwise that's all for me.

How did I not know about this? I spent most of my childhood in Rome, Georgia.  Maybe this is what happens when you live your life with one foot in a town and the other foot out of the town, which is pretty much how I spent my childhood was like halfway in Rome and halfway not in Rome. So, you know, maybe that was it? I don't know. Anyway, welcome to S.O. Derek, Atlanta. My name is Bryce. Today we're gonna be talking about two of the hills of Rome, Georgia, Myrtle Hill and Jackson Hill.  Yes, I do have the same shirt on from the last video. I don't know why YouTube is funny about that, but here's the thing. I am filming this video on the same day as the last video, even though they're being released on different days. So, yes, I have the same shirt on because in reality, it is the same day, even though you're seeing these videos onto different days because that's the power of technology, YouTube. So I started off wanting to do a video only on Myrtle Hill, which is this beautiful old cemetery in Rome, Georgia. Both my mom's parents are buried on Myrtle Hill as well as my uncle. And we have spent some time on Myrtle Hill just walking around looking at graves. My boyfriend really, really likes to look at old graves. He's a photographer on top of his other job and he wanted to go take some pictures and he is really into like myself. He is really into studying secret societies and so he was so fascinated with Myrtle Hill because there was so much symbolism on a lot of the graves of like the Freemasons and other types of symbols that he was familiar with. He is very fascinated himself by Rome because he sees a lot of these symbols in Rome. And so I had this idea that I was gonna do a video just on Myrtle Hill and I was gonna talk about some of the esoteric elements to Myrtle Hill and maybe some of the hauntings. I know that there are some hauntings on Myrtle Hill, kind of like our Oakland Cemetery. However, my research led me in a bit of a different direction. My research pushed me into Jackson Hill in response to Myrtle Hill. And Myrtle Hill, like Clock Tower Hill, as we said in that episode, there are seven hills in Rome. Georgia, that's where the name Rome came from because of the seven hills of Rome, Italy. And we know that Clock Tower Hill is one of them while Myrtle Hill is another one and Jackson Hill is also another. So it's three of the hills in Rome. And I had no freaking clue about Jackson Hill. In fact, while I was researching, I'm really one of my talents in life is directions. I'm really good at directions. I can always find my way back. I know where things are. I'm just really good at that. It's one of the one things that I'm good at. So I'll take it. And when I was reading about Jackson Hill, I was like, where the hell is this? And I was looking at the map. I think I know where it is now. But legitimately, Mine Blown had no idea that what was at Jackson Hill is at Jackson Hill. And I don't even know if some of the trails on Jackson Hill were there when I was a kid because if they were, I mean, I would have loved that as a kid, but I just, Mine Blown, like seriously, Mine is blown over Jackson Hill. But here's what got me on putting the two of these Myrtle Hill and Jackson Hill together. Both of these hills were used in the Civil War heavily. I'm not gonna focus too, too much. I'm gonna talk about it a little bit. But honestly, we've talked about the Civil War so much in a lot of our other videos. And I'm, I love history. History is one of my favorite subjects. However, I'm not really someone that enjoys studying battles. And my mind kind of, it's like the peanuts that whenever I have to read about battles, I lose focus and anyway. But the quote that got me was, I read it said, Myrtle Hill makes you respect the dead while Jackson Hill makes you fear it. I was like, hook, line and sinker, I'm sold. So starting off with Myrtle Hill, Myrtle Hill is, as I said, a cemetery. Again, my grandparents are buried on Myrtle Hill as well as my uncle. Now Myrtle Hill is also right across our caddy cornered from the Kusa Country Club, which is the country club. I grew up going to as a child.  And apparently they picked that plot so that they from death would be able to see the comings and goings of the country club. So I guess that tells you how fun my grandparents were. And I'm serious, apparently they threw some pretty fun parties. I was a child when they died. But anyway, Myrtle Hill is located at where the Edoa and the Ustunala River meet. And it's on South of Broad Street. Again, Broad Street is the historic part of Rome. And this is a beautiful part of the city, especially if you go to the top of Myrtle Hill, like our clock tower, you can kind of see out over the skyscraper, the city line. There's really no skyscrapers in Rome, but you can see the town city line. It's 32 acres and it consists of six different terraces. And it was described almost like a wedding cake. They've kind of built it so there's different, it's like compartmentalized. It is a natural hill, but they've made the architect so there are layers to it. Nowadays, you can pull your car in and drive around all the way to the top, although I would suggest taking a hike and the hill is actually a lot bigger than you think it is when you first see Myrtle Hill. But yeah, I would definitely suggest instead of driving up the hill, unless you're elderly or have some health issues, I would definitely suggest walking it. Now both Myrtle Hill and Jackson Hill played major parts in the Civil War. They were both forts in the Civil War. And they are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Now Myrtle Hill was a battle site long before the Civil War when there was Western, our white man coming in and looking for gold. There was a huge gold rush into Northwest Georgia. And so there were some battles between the Cherokee Nation and the Creek Nation that lived in this area when the settlers started to approach. Now the Myrtle Hill became a cemetery in 1850, so not long after the city of Rome was established as a city. And it was picked, the name Myrtle was picked because of all the Myrtle flowers that grew wild on the hill. Now, funnily enough, Myrtle means flower of death. So there you go. The first grave was a man named John Billups and he died in 1857 in funny during the Civil War. So again, Myrtle Hill was used as a fort during the Civil War. And his headstone apparently was blown off by a musket ball during the war because as we talked about in our clock tower video, Rome did fall to the Union soldiers during the Civil War. And Myrtle Hill and Jackson Hill are both kind of on two opposite ends of all these rivers. And again, the rivers were really, really, really important to commerce and to travel during this time in our history. Now, a lot like our Oakland cemetery here in Atlanta, Myrtle Hill acts as like a who's who of Rome, Georgia for dead people nowadays. And so a lot of the tours that they give, and you can go on Rome's official website to look at these tours. They'll go around and show you who a lot of these people were and their participation in their part in building up the city of Rome. Now, at the very top of the Myrtle Hill is the Confederate monument. He hits the long name. It's the monument of the Confederate dead of Rome in Floyd County in the Civil War. This is the crown point, the total top of the hill. I've been up there a couple of times myself and it is a beautiful view. And you can see this monument that was built in honor of everybody from the area who lost their lives during the American Civil War. There is also a Confederate cemetery down at the base of Myrtle Hill. And they have 368 Confederate and Union soldiers buried there. 75 are unknown Confederate soldiers while they have three unknown Union soldiers. There's also a Veterans Plaza. It's a brick site location on South of Broad Street. And this is where we have America's known soldier. And this is a pretty big deal for Rome. I remember learning about this as a kid. It's a man named Charles Graves and he died in World War I. And for some reason they picked to bury him in Rome and it's a huge monument to the America's known soldier. Because believe it or not, boys and girls, there was a time in our history where the military were respected. I respect the military. My boyfriend comes from a military family. Our military, they give a lot for us to be able to remain free. And especially with what's going on right now, we've had many conversations about what would happen if the government were to force the military to try to control us. And the beautiful thing about the United States military is that we are still a very young country and a lot of our men and women who joined the military are extremely patriotic. And I, both of my boyfriend and I agreed that I don't think the military here would be able to ever, ever attack the citizens that they have vowed to protect. And I do like the fact that we have, that there are these monuments dedicated to militaries past and present because that's super important. We do need to respect our military. We wouldn't be here without our military. So that's in a very, that's a very cliff notes version of Myrtle Hill, the who's who of Rome, Georgia. So now let's get to the good stuff. Let's get to Jackson Hill. And Jackson Hill is feared because it's super haunted. And I'm gonna focus on one of the ghosts. And that's the ghost of a young woman named Nancy. Now I talked about Chieftain's Museum in our clock tower video. And I said, maybe one day we'd get to it. Well, lo and behold, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be open unto you. Here we go, Chieftain's Museum, or the house that is now Chieftain's Museum plays a huge part in Nancy, our ghost of Jackson Hill. Now, even though we are only gonna talk about Nancy's day and her being and why she haunts Jackson Hill, I do have to note that according to the powers that be, this is legitimately the most haunted place in Rome. And Rome has got some pretty haunted places, so that says a lot. But let's back up again and let's connect the dots. If you remember back from my clock tower episode where I talked about the clock tower of Rome, Georgia, we talked about its origins. It was a water tank after the Civil War to help replenish water to the citizens of Rome. And then after a while, it ceased to be the water tank because they built a reservoir on top of Jackson Hill. So this is the same Jackson Hill. Ah, dots are connecting. It's all connected. So here we go. Now we're gonna talk about Jackson Hill. So for today, present day, Jackson Hill is at 402 Civic Center Drive in Rome, Georgia. And if you're visiting Jackson Hill today, you've got this labrith of Rome.  And it was created by a man named Ed Baker and he made it for meditation. Walking a labrith for meditation is a lot like the method of meditation that I do with my yoga practice. So a lot of people think that yoga is the postures of the asanas you see all over the world today and that's only a small part of what yoga is. Yoga is basically to find focus and to kind of center the mind, that's the form of meditation. And when you're walking a labrith, you're able to give your mind something to do to find that focus. Same with an asana practice, you're using a tristana method, the way to get your mind to kind of find a one-pointed focus. So I really respect the fact that this man created this labrith for the people of Rome to partake in some active meditation. Now, when you get into the parking lot of Jackson Hill, there is a gift shop. So if anything, buddy is visiting for the day and you want a memory bachachi or a t-shirt or something from Rome, then this obviously is a really good place to go to get that. And the gift shop is the start of several trails that lead up to the reservoir. And the pictures of these trails look beautiful. Apparently it's a 1.3 mile loop. So it doesn't seem to be that challenging. And it's 50 acres and it goes all the way around reservoir street and dogwood drive. Now on this trail, especially for you guys who are like me and you are history lovers, you're gonna pass Boswell Cabin, which is right at the trailhead and they have a cotton gym. There's some Civil War cannons.  So again, we're not gonna go into too much detail about the battles. If that's something, if you live in the area and that's something that you're really interested in, you can go ahead and take the trails and read all the markers. Or if you can't leave your house because you're quarantined like we are, then you can look online and they have all the markers up where you can read about the different battles and what Jackson Hill was used for. So Nancy, the ghost or one of the ghosts that haunts Jackson Hill is the spirit of a young woman who is said to be running around Jackson Hill looking for her baby. Let's look and see who Nancy was. Now in order to understand who Nancy was in life, we have to go back and look at her father because her father played a major role in Rome, Georgia's history. Now Nancy was Native American. She was Cherokee. Her father was a man by the name of Major Ridge and he got the name Major because he was a war hero from the War of 1812. Now Major Ridge was born in 1771 in what would today be Tennessee. But he made his way down to Georgia where he married his wife, another woman of Cherokee descent who lived in the Calhoun area and Calhoun is outside of Rome. Now before the trail of tears before our late president Andrew Jackson started to remove all the different Native Americans from this area of the States, something very interesting was happening with the Cherokee nations. They were starting to kind of develop these like deals with the settlers and I don't know the full details. Again, we are gonna be speaking to in the future to a follow up of our Gone with the Wind video to someone who was a friend of mine actually who was a descendant of the Cherokee nation and she can go into more about that. I would rather her explain that from her understanding of her people's history versus me try to unravel it as a person of European descent. But Major Ridge, he was highly respected and he was picked to be the representative for the Cherokee Council. Now something that is very interesting to note too is at this point a lot of the Native Americans started to adapt Western practices. They started to dress like Westerners. They started to do business like Westerners and they started to educate their children in Western style classrooms. Now because Major Ridge was picked to be a representative of the Cherokee Council, this ended up kind of biting him in the butt later on in our story. Major Ridge was very respected by the European settlers in the area and so he was definitely someone that kind of lived in both worlds. I definitely think he got the raw end of the deal at the end of the story. I honestly like I feel really bad for this guy. I think that he just some bad luck and he was put in an impossible situation but we'll get there. In 1819, Ridge moved his family to a two-story house along the Ustunala River. Again, that's one of the rivers in Rome. A bit like Martha Berry where she and her family bought a house in 1871 on the Ustunala River. This was 1819 and so this house was painted white. It's this beautiful home. They were running a trading post. They had access to the river for the steam boats. They were working a farm. I mean, this family was a very prominent family for the Cherokees and for the settlers. A lot of, at this point, seemed to be a lot of respect from both sides. Now the year before Major Ridge bought his house on the Ustunala River, his daughter Nancy passed away. Now Nancy was born in 1801. She was considered a Cherokee princess and Nancy married at the age of 16. She married a man named William Ritchie and William Ritchie was a missionary, a Christian missionary from South Carolina that had come into the area to mission to the Native Americans.  Now her daughter, a little girl named Hester, was born in September of 1818. And unfortunately, Hester too passed away in May of 1819. So if we look at the timeline of Major Ridge, Nancy, who again is our ghost, who runs all over Jackson Hill looking for her child, died right before Major Ridge bought this house, this beautiful house on the Ustunala River. Major Ridge used this house to work the farm, work the trading post until things got a little tricky. And in 1832, there was some pressure from the United States government for the Cherokee to give up their land. And this is where things get icky for Major Ridge. Again, he was very much respected by the European settlers as well as his Cherokee comrades. Now Major Ridge ended up, I feel like he was probably pressured to, maybe he saw the writing in the wall, there was gonna be an all out bloodbath if he didn't. But he ended up signing a treaty with the United States government to sell over his land and all the Cherokee land over to the United States government. And in 1832, they did a lottery over all this land that had been taken by the Cherokee nation. And a woman named Rachel Ferguson from Richmond County, Georgia, one, Major Ridge's house and property on the Oostanella River in this flattery. Now she never lived on the property, she never went there. She ended up selling it to another man from Richmond County later on. In 1835, so three years after the property was technically sold and given to this other person, Major Ridge had to move to Oklahoma, had to go on the Trail of Tears. That we know so much about today. And in June of 1839, because Major Ridge had signed this treaty giving away his people's land to the settlers, he and his son and his nephew were all murdered for this act of what I guess the Cherokee nation would have classified as treason. Now over time, the house that Major Ridge owned on the Oostanella River where the trading post was that was sold in the lottery and won by Rachel Ferguson, ended up becoming Chieftain's Museum. The museum I spoke about in our clock tower video where I learned the lyrics to Baby Got Back in the third grade. So that is his house, that is Chieftain's Museum. Now here's the interesting thing. Chieftain's Museum is relatively close to Jackson Hill. If I think I know where Jackson Hill is, it's pretty close in location. Now what's interesting to me is that Nancy haunts Jackson Hill looking for her child. However, the Ridge family did not buy this property and build this house until after Nancy had passed away. So that's peculiar. However, Nancy's daughter Hester passed away in May of 1819. So there is a possibility that Nancy's husband William, her European husband took Hester to the house with her family and maybe that's why she's looking for her child there. Perhaps they're buried or the baby is buried near there. I find that very fascinating though, that the house in the land are in close proximity. So when I was studying, I was like, okay, well that makes sense. Her house is in close proximity to this hill. That's probably why she haunts it. But then when I was looking at the dates, I was like, well, she never technically lived at the house, that he didn't buy the house until she had passed away in 1818. Now her husband William did go on, he did remarried and he lived a long life. He died in 1879. He had multiple children with his second wife. But that's the story of Nancy, one of Jackson Hill's most famous ghosts. She was 17 years old when she died, again born in 1801 and died in 1818 during childbirth. I mean, how sad is that? I would hope that somebody could move her on and help her understand that she is no longer living and that if she goes into the light then maybe she'll find her child. I just, how sad just to see a spirit caught in this constant cycle of searching for her baby. Now there's other stories of other Native Americans haunting the location, a story of lost lovers from the different Cherokee and Creek nations. So it's a very potent place, which I, the fact that there's a labyrinth there now is interesting to me as somebody who studies symbolism and energy, I just, I wonder if Ed Baker kind of knew that this was a very potent area for spirits. I don't know, or maybe he just thought, oh, man, let's elaborate here, this sounds cool. I don't know. I definitely will, when quarantine is lifted, I definitely want to go up to Rome and check out Jackson Hill. I did find that, I guess in Rome, Rome sounds a whole lot cooler now than when I was a kid because I guess they are starting to do ghost stories and ghost meetups. And I found this group called the Seven Hills Tellers. I couldn't find their website, but they sound like a cool group of girls. It sounds like, and there might have been men there, but it sounds like it's all girls that go around and tell these stories at night, a bit like what happens at Oakland Cemetery here during Halloween. And I did read a lot of stories about people who work at the gift shop or work at Jackson Hill, hearing things, hearing doors shut. I know there's a story of a ghost of a man that's there, that walks around the property. It's all so, so fascinating. And I, like I said, I wish I had known about this growing up there as a kid. I just didn't, though. So, you know, here it is now. So if you live in Rome and you don't know about Jackson Hill, I would tell you to go check it out and tell me, have you seen Nancy? I would imagine that people say you fear death there because I think when spirits are so stressed out, like the way Nancy seems to be, it does bring a certain level of energy that's maybe more toxic than like our green lady from Berry College who seems to be happy. Anyway, just my opinion though. So there you have it. Myrtle Hill makes you respect the dead and Jackson Hill makes you fear it. Hope you guys enjoyed that video. I'm really excited about the next video I'm gonna do. I still have some research to do, but I'm really excited about telling that story. So stay tuned for our next video. Again, it will be in Rome, Georgia because I'm doing a week of Rome. Thanks again to Josh McKay for doing our music and for Todd Roderick for helping me edit. I hope you guys are all doing very, very well under your quarantine. I hope you are taking care of your mind during this time. And again, I ask you during this time as well to practice critical thinking skills. You have sovereignty over your own body. You have sovereignty over your own mind. Your being is between you and your creator and that's it. So anyway, I love you guys. Hope you enjoyed that and I will see you soon. Bye.


Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at the North American International Auto Show, 10,000 press people here today, taking it all in, a ton of cars, beautiful cars, a lot of alternative types of mobility, and that's really the interesting story here, is that it's not just about cars anymore, it's about mobility, it's about last mile, it's about how do we deal with congested cities. Right in the middle of all this is a familiar company, IBM, so we're really excited to have Sacha and Lula on the global automotive lead, Watson IoT, from AutoLab. First off, welcome. Thank you, Jeff. Jessica Robinson, she's the Director of City Solutions for Ford. Welcome, Jessica. That's right, thank you for having me. Daniel Shapiro, he's the Senior Director of Automotive from NVIDIA. Daniel, welcome. Thanks so much, Jeff. Really excited to have Joanna Penya-Bickley, she's the Chief Creative Officer for IBM IEX, welcome. Thank you. From the outside looking in, you think autonomous vehicles and a lot of these trends are really a giant threat, but in fact, I get the vibe that it's really, it feels like it's been an opportunity to kind of reinvigorate me. Yeah, no, I think that's a great point and again, you hear Mark Fields talk a lot about being beyond auto and including mobility and we know that that's a huge potential growth area for us at the business level. There's a $5.6 trillion transportation services industry that we barely participate in today and so when you think about the long term future Ford Motor Company more broadly, it's a place we absolutely have to be. Automotive is one of our biggest bets in terms of the industry we're going after. We'll see more change in the next five to 10 years than we've seen in the last 50 to 100 years in automotive so feel grateful to be part of the auto industry at this point in time. IBM and General Motors have partnered to put Watson inside of OnStar. The purpose behind the entire partnership is truly to redefine mobility as cognitive mobility. Do so in a way that's actually improving people's lives. We work with over 80 different automakers and tier one suppliers and other startup companies. Everyone is realizing that there's no way you can possibly program or write code for the randomness that happens out on the road. The new Tesla system now with our processor inside has 40 times more processing power than the previous had. So we're bringing a super computer into the car and then it's gone from one camera to eight cameras, a big difference. We can't see what's going on a lot of factories. We can't see the IoT that's involved in medical imaging but we can all see our vehicles, we have passionate relationships with our vehicles so it's a really pointy into the spear if you will of this whole IoT revolution. She's Jessica, I'm Jeff, you're watching theCUBE. We're at the North American International Auto Show. Thanks for watching.
