Is LeBron trying to get Luke Walton fired? Tiger Woods doesn't move the needle. Tiger Woods is the needle. Tom is not all in on doing it the way Bill Belichick wants it to be done. Is LeBron trying to get Luke Walton fired? Because I'm pretty sure LeBron signed off on all these latest moves that the Lakers have made, right? This is like the NBA version of the Expendables. If I made a list of the most difficult to coach players in the entire National Basketball Association, the four that the Lakers have signed would be at or near the top. LeBron James would hold him accountable. Now, LeBron has had history with Michael Beasley. His last year in Miami, he played with Beasley. He didn't seem to have a problem with him. And if you remember last year when he was a free agent, LeBron talked about all these guys out there, Raymond Felton, Michael Beasley, and we don't get any of them. So it appears to me that LeBron feels very comfortable with Michael Beasley being on his squad. It is a volatile mix. It's so potentially volatile, and there are so many individual storylines that when you were talking about all the different players and how many teams they've been on, I had forgotten about LeVar. That's how volatile this thing could be. That's how many personalities are in there that LeVar is now just one of many storylines. They're bringing on tough guys who compete, nothing to lose, frankly, kind of intimidating tough guys. They're kind of odd, Lance is odd, Rondo's wired differently. LeBron said years ago, Beasley's one of the most talented guys I've ever played with. Oh, he's incredibly talented. There's no question. He's one of these edgy guys who are willing to get into a fist fight with a Warriors finesse skinny jeans team. It's obvious. Beasley, I will give him credit because he went from number two overall picks, supposed to be a star, looked like he was never going to find his way in the league, and then accepted his role as a role player, and he has played with LeBron before. What do I expect from Beasley though? What do I expect from most guys who sign one-year $3 million deals? Like, not much, and if they're in the rotation, that's a bonus. But the Lakers season is not going to be made or missed by these types of players. Maybe he scored a basketball. He's got tremendous size. LeBron and him do have some rapport together, because he was on the team with LeBron. But if you look at all the players that LeBron has added in the last eight years, like most of these guys had some, even Ray Allen. There was question marks about Ray Allen before he started becoming a spectacular six-man there in Miami. Tiger Woods doesn't move the needle. As Armin Cattain said in our show, Tiger Woods is the needle. When Pele quit playing soccer, people still watch soccer. When Shaq retired from basketball, people still watch basketball. Tiger's the only athlete in the world ever. That is the difference between you watching a sport and not watching a sport. I saw major championship body language from him yesterday. I have not seen for 10 years, because he has not won a major championship for more than 10 years, which is also hard to process. This is Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods dominated this sport the way no man ever has or ever will for three years. That's just me. I've never seen anything like it. You want to talk about force of nature? When he roared, everybody dropped to their knees and said, let there be Tiger. The guy that won it was in his group. They don't fear him anymore, Skip. There's no way. Five years, 10 years ago, if this guy, if Mollinari is in Tiger's group, and Tiger makes this run, it's over. You see what happened to Jordan Spieth? He hears the roars. He's looking at the leaderboard, and they flip it and plunk, plunk, uh-oh. He start moonwalking like Michael Jackson at the Grand Prix. This is a win for Tiger. I thought he would win a tournament this summer. I thought it'd be tough to win a major because we have so many good young players and the courses that we were playing the majors on this year, they were not great setups for Tiger Woods. But for him, to finish in a position, a T6, to finish where he did, playing the way he did, even getting with a lead on Sunday, I think this is all a tremendous positive for Tiger in the comeback. I didn't know that we would ever get that moment again. And now it feels like it's a real thing, not just something you hope and wish for, but Tiger Woods winning, not just another tournament, but winning another major can happen. Training camp in the NFL is not what it used to be. It's not the dog days of August, like no, training camp is so easy now. You can't have too many padded practices. You're not going to be practicing twice in one day with helmets and shoulder pads on, the lack of contact, and there's so many teams now that don't go away to some college campus. They do it at their facility. So it's so much like the regular season that it, no, it's not that important. I understand why it wouldn't be that important, but I also understand why he would be excited. There's a lot of things different about this year's training camp than last year's. First, this is probably the first time in a while he maybe misses football a little bit, because aside from the mandatory mini-camp, he has been removed from it. Secondarily, like anyone that's married with kids can tell you this, you always want more time with your wife and kids, and then you have a few months of the wife and kids, and it's nice to get back to work. I watched the Patriots very, very closely for years. And it was always Belichick's team. Kraft owned it, but it was Belichick's team. But over the last, I would say, 18 months, it's changed. It's become Brady's team. That's always been our theory. And our belief was Robert Kraft and Brady have more in common, even though they have a great age disparity than Robert Kraft and Belichick. Tom Brady once was all in on how Bill Belichick wanted to win, and what winning looked like and what it was going to be to Bill Belichick and for the New England Patriots. I think the friction and the tension comes now. The common goal is still going to always be the same, winning. But now Tom is not all in on doing it the way Bill Belichick wants it to be done.


Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to some more Stephen King content. Today we are talking about whether or not I feel that Floating Dragon by Peter Straub was inspiration for Stephen King's It. Now with this book I see the whole reason I read it is because so many different people mentioned, and my friend Anthony Vaca, Cody Tidwell, numerous people that too many to name here brought up the fact, especially when I started talking about how much I felt Dean Coons' Phantoms had inspired It. There were quite a few comments about this book, even though I did say in that video that there were rumors going around that this one inspired that. I see it, I really do, but as far as a side-by-side comparison is concerned I really feel like even though there's a kid in this one and there's not a kid in Phantoms, I really do feel like Phantoms is still the winner of the inspiration for It. There's a lot of stuff that was reused in the 80s, especially by horror authors, especially when it came to towns. For some odd reason everybody ended up using giant spiders at some point in time. No, I think it was Ramsey Campbell's The Hunter's Moon, I think is what it's called. That one pretty much ends almost exactly like It. And before we go any farther, of course this video is going to be spoiler-laden throughout for every single book I'm talking about.  All of it's going to be in-depth spoilery, so if you're worried about spoilers definitely get out of here. I'm going to go note by note as I've written them. Yes, I write my books, especially my reader's copy and this is my reader's copy. It's fallen apart, I mean a little writing anchor, it's probably the only thing holding it together. Just kidding. So we're going to go note by note. Right off the bat by page 131 I have written several times that this reminds me of Kerry, this reminds me of the Shining, this reminds me of the Stand. So while this book does have some things in common with It, I would say that there are heavier influences as far as King on Straub instead of Straub on King, especially with the stand, with the opening of the stand, at least the uncut edition. There are some very, very close, very similar aspects. Now it could be said for the cut version of the stand it doesn't open the same way that the uncut version does, and the uncut version didn't come out until the 90s. I think between 92 and 96, I can't remember off the top of my head, but the original version of the stand, the 800, 700, 800 page version of that one, does not open with the stuff that I'm talking about. So had Straub read that version of the stand? Who knows? Did they even know each other at this point in time? I'm not 100% sure. Before we go on to the inspirations for each other, for this book and It, I do want to make note of something else. Here's spoilers for The Black House. While reading this, I was not alarmed, but I was very surprised by how much of this book's scenes, whole scenes, were taken from this book and put into Black House, especially the gigantic dog, the dog that attacks both the bikers and Jack in Black House, and in this one where the dog attacks, I think it's Richard and Graham in their house, and they're going after him with a shotgun. There's quite a few things going on, the serial killer aspect, the whole town aspect period, really reminded me of Black House. And of course, this book was first, so I'm wondering why Straub decided to reuse all this content, or is it King reusing the content? I'm honestly not sure, but this one especially felt like there were whole scenes borrowed for Black House, and that was very odd to me, considering the books are so far apart. Now, by 141, I realized there was the whole returning to town theme going on, people who had left. Of course, in this one, it's more the family members coming back, the ancestry, I guess, people related to people in the town. Furthermore, there is once again, just like even Ramsay Campbell's, I think it's the hungry moon, maybe not, it may be the hunter's moon, I can't remember. But the hibernating sequence in here, I think it's 30 years that the evil hibernates and then it comes back to eat again. I caught that stuff. Around page 220, I started to feel a little bit of the town history that Stephen King might have been inspired to write all the town history sections for it. I did see a lot of that, a lot of similarities to that, especially with Graham going and hunting up the history of the town, kind of like Ben and Mike, you know, look up the history of Dairy. Actually, it's just Mike that looks up the history of Dairy. I'm getting the movie confused with the book now, that's wholly upsetting to me. But I believe in the book, it's only Mike that does all the hunting up of everything. But then again, there is the show and tell, is the show, man, that's gonna bother me. I know I'm wrong about one or the other, but I'm sure everybody will let me know down in the doobly-doo. Let's see here, 242, I have something, oh yeah, there's a scene in here. This is probably one of the only scenes that hearkened back, not hearkened back, but really made me think of it throughout the entire read. Now mind you, going into phantoms, I had no idea that there were so many odes, well not odes, so much inspiration in there for it. Going into this one, I was looking for it and this is the only scene where I said, okay, side by side comparisons, this is a bit much, but there's a scene in this book where a book comes to life and starts flipping pages and of course there's a scene like that in It. In this one, it's a little, I think it's a little more on the goofy side because an actual literal dragon comes out of the book, so I thought that was rather silly. And of course, I'm still a much bigger fan of It than I am a floating dragon. In fact, I didn't like this one near as much as I did phantoms. Again, I'm giving this one, I said three stars in my review, but I'm actually gonna end up on the two-star thing. I believe my written review should already be up. 298, there is a ghost story reference. I don't recall this, so I'm just gonna go ahead and look in there, see what it is. Yeah, he talks about Hawthorne. I believe Hawthorne was a, let's see here, yeah, he was a character in ghost story and he was a writer as well, part of a club, all that stuff was taken there. Then on page 422 through 423 of this version of the book, there's a sewage backup that may or may not have, I still feel that that scene in phantoms where, and there's phantom spoilers in this review also from Dean Coombs. In the phantoms book, there's voices in the drain and then there's the bubbling and everything spurts up. And that's basically what happens, but it's blood in it. In this one, it's just the sewage backup. There is a very, very unsettling scene in this one that almost reminds me of the scene with Ben on the bridge where he looks down and he sees the mummy in it, and it's not really the mummy, it's part mummy, part clown, what not. But in this one, it's just Richard Albee walking down the street and he happens upon Laura, his dead wife who was murdered by the dragon, and he sees her but he doesn't want to look at her. He feels that to look at her, he will completely become undone as a human being. His mind will unravel. It's one of the best scenes in the book. It's very, very creepy. I enjoyed that. There's a lot of stuff in it like that where they don't want to look at the horror because all their worst fears are used against them. There's also around page 470, I felt there was a theme of forgetting anybody who left the town or wasn't in the town during all this mess, ended up just forgetting about it, just letting it pass on. So there's also that. 568, oddly enough, might have been some of the inspiration for the 11 year olds and their orgy down in the sewer. There is a scene in this book where Richard Graham, what's the boy's name, Tabby, and what's her name? Wow, I completely spaced on Patsy. And Patsy, they pretty much defeated the evil or they're in the course of defeating the evil.  Now I kind of give Stephen King's book a pass because it's all kids. In this one, this is a grown adult woman fantasizing about a preteen boy and the other two men for whatever reason. It's not really all that well explained. In King's book, there's a purpose for the scene. In this one, it just felt really, really weird and awkward. There's also some awkward sex stuff in this book that just gave me the heebie-jeebies more than anything else. Coontz, King, Straub, even Barker to some extent have all given me the heebie-jeebies with their sex stuff. Just dudes writing sex, I don't think they're very good at it.  In page 576, there's destruction and all that after the dragon is killed. Kind of mirrors what happens at the end of it, but not to such a great extent. And in it, it didn't happen in nowhere near the extent that it happened in Phantoms. In Phantoms, it pretty much destroyed the whole damn town. In it, it just ran, you know, there was a lot of destruction. In this one, I think it only really affects a bar and some houses. Some things fall into the ocean, I believe. Kind of muddy on that aspect. And I think that's everything so far. But I think the biggest thing is the town history, the forgetting. We got another shape-shifting monster kind of deal, but this one, it wasn't as prevalent as it was in Phantoms. And it just felt like that was their main weapon. They had weaponized shape-shifting kind of deal. That's how they got people to trust them. That's how they got close to people. That kind of thing. And this one didn't really need it. But that's all the stuff that I found. If you're one of the people who feel very strongly about this, I would love to hear from you down there in the doobly-doo with a whole list of stuff that maybe I might have missed or that you think is a harder connect to it than what I alluded to. I'm gonna double down and still say that Phantoms was bigger inspiration for Stephen King's It, then Floating Dragon. But I would love to hear from the community about this. So until next time, I have an E. You have an U. This has been some more Stephen King content. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!


Yeah, it's beautiful that you can just open it up because I think that's why we're given a function You know call it whatever you want but a miracle worker or whatever that it's like a it's literally a life devotion To be shown and taken into what seems to be the unknown and away from what seems to be the familiar and And Yeah, I can relate that's those are the same few things I had initially When I started to really have heart-opening experiences to start to work with the course You know even in between going to course groups and whatever there would be this pounding heart and Kind of like oh, you know, where is this going to lead and I could just feel like my whole trajectory my whole life and I Was looking at my expectations and assumptions my parents and family and all those things that seem to be Going in one direction and then this was going in a completely different Direction and and there will be fear that will come up as you open up to your function and We're just here to join together and rejoice with you in finding your function. I mean obviously to come All the distance that you've come to just take that step is a great indicator of your willingness and your determination and It's not that we can actually kind of give you a roadmap and and that's what I always wanted You know give me like a five-year plan or a ten-year plan And I would never get that even though I had a degree in urban planning a five-year degree in planning I never I never got a plan From Jesus with Holy Spirit


OK, welcome, folks. So if you want, you can come up closer, make this intimate. And any of you going to the Mirantis thing at 4.10? OK, a couple of you. We're concerned that we had to get done right before then, in case people want to run to catch the bus. So just quick on introductions. I'm Doss Kamhout, principal engineer in Intel IT. I'm Malini Bandaru from Indus Open Source Technology Group. And we're happy to be here with you this afternoon. We're going to have another number of other folks from Intel coming on, talking about some of the deep dive on some of their specific areas. But our intent today is to give you an overview of what Intel's doing with OpenStack as part of the community and our contributions in our deployment. So we'll just jump right in. So for those of you that don't know, Intel has a long history of being a contributor to Open Source. We're one of the top contributors to Linux. We bounce between number one and number two. This slide says number two. We're actually number one from the kernel perspective right now, a heavy committer and contributor into Android, HTML5, and with OpenStack, we're actually a top contributor as well. So what we're going to cover today is we have contributions. So most of the focus of the topic today is going to be the specific contributions that we're making. So this is across many OpenStack projects, various Open Source tools. If you look at Stackalytics, which is what RANT has put together for viewing the contributions, you'll see we're a top contributor to Grizzly and Havana. And your team focuses quite a bit on optimizations. Optimizations, anything to make Intel hardware shine? So if we have a special hardware feature for encryption decryption, we make sure it's visible to the OpenStack scheduler and things like that. And we're going to go quite a bit into those in a little bit later. And so my job is I work in Intel IT, and I develop and I run cloud environments. We've been using OpenStack starting in the labs in 2011. And I'll talk a bit more about that. But we see it as a single control plane for all of our infrastructure. And then we also have Intel Cloud Builders. Anything you want to share on Cloud Builders? That's our reference implementation. So our best practices that we'd like to share with you. So that's our open source effort too, there. I think the last time I checked, there was like 70 plus reference architectures that you can use, probably growing all the time. But basically how you take various solutions, turn on private clouds, and other capabilities to build a cloud. On that note, we had recently some students come up and try using the cloud right out of the box, install it, create a teaching app to use the cloud to do some math applications. They'd never done anything. REST API was always an Android type of plugin application. So we've been helping students use the cloud too now. So what we see in the data center space, and this is both in large scale data centers from a cloud service provider as well as traditional IT. And especially on the traditional IT side, we see networking as a major bottleneck in regards to getting things stood up. So fortunately, we have things like Neutron changing this. But it's typically two to three weeks to provision new services. That's from somebody requesting to actually getting those online. This is very, very common. Used to be the bottleneck was getting a server. That's mostly changed. We all see this massive growth in regards to storage. So this is both from video as well as unstructured data continually to grow inside of the data centers and basically take on more space and increase the complexity of the environment. And on server utilization, so a lot of us in enterprise shops and IT shops, and probably even if you look at a large scale cloud service provider, average utilization is under 50% despite virtualization happening. So lots of new challenges are coming and opportunities. So this isn't just an Intel vision, but fundamentally we all believe that the infrastructure should become software defined. So allow it to be composable. Allow us to have automated orchestration. Introduce a lot of intelligence into your data center so that you can basically run at a larger scale, deal with virtualization, and basically operate stronger from your IT shop perspective. So there's a couple pictures here. See if a couple are taking pictures of it. But it's fundamentally, this is just an example, from taking networking to be a new service into months to can you get it in minutes. So a key component of OpenStack is the fact that you're turning everything into be software defined. And I'll jump into the Open Data Center Alliance cloud adoption roadmap, and just real quickly here because we have a lot of content we're gonna cover. But this is a roadmap that we see a lot of enterprises moving down the path of. If you spend any time running an OpenStack environment or a contributor to it, you'll see there's a distinction. Folks like Randy Baez, he's the concept of pets versus cattle. If we ever do a summit in India, that term won't work. But fundamentally, if we call it cloud aware apps and enterprise legacy apps. So how do we support these in our environment? So basically enterprise legacy apps, they're still being built today. They require resilience in the infrastructure. Meanwhile, cloud aware applications are scale out. They allow for failure underneath them and they're usually built to run at global scale.  Most consumer apps are being built this way. But what we wanna point out, and this is actually an enterprise roadmap from the Open Data Center Alliance, is this point towards the end. There is a goal of this federated interoperable and open cloud. If you listen to a lot of the key notes, you hear the word interoperable probably 20 times in each one. And obviously we're here at OpenSAT conference. So Open is huge. And this is both from a public as well as a private perspective. So letting it drive forward to be an actual open environment. And Intel is definitely highly interested in this moving forward, as well as most of the attendees here at the conference this week. And then real quickly, I wanna also give you a perspective of what Intel IT does. So we said we're gonna cover our contributions, what we do from a deployment perspective. From a deployment, we've been running a design grid since the 1990s. This is approximately now about 60,000 servers across the globe. We call this Cloud's Uncle or Cloud's Mother. It has a lot of the same attributes that you'd see from a cloud. So self-service, resource pooling, measured services. And most grid environments are pretty familiar with cloud concepts. Back in 2010, we churned on an enterprise private cloud. And this now is about 13,000 VMs in our environment. This is across 10 data centers. 75% of all of our server requests come through the self-service portal. So people don't actually have to call IT. And this is highly virtualized, so 80%. And what we did in late 2011 was we decided to make a bet on OpenStack. We looked at all the various open-source solutions that were in the environment at that point in time. And we in IT said, hey, we're gonna make OpenStack work. We run an open-source private cloud since 2012. Right now this is about 1.5,000 VMs across just two data centers so far. And our first focus was on running cloud-aware applications. So things that we're able to handle scale out as well as no resiliency in the infrastructure. But this weekend, my team couldn't come here this week because we did a big upgrade and we just turned on things like live migration and boot from volume. The reason for this is that we can start handling those traditional apps, the ones that people call pets. And this is pretty important for us because it now allows OpenStack to handle these tougher areas. And one last point I'll make on our IT space is we see OpenStack as a single control plane. So we have numerous different types of use cases inside of Intel from the silicon design space that runs massive grids, from the validation labs, the control physical hardware, to our traditional enterprise hosting which is running various applications whether it's collaboration tools, whether it's various web tools. But the beauty of OpenStack is it gives us one uniform API set that allows us to handle all these use cases. And even better, it allows us to control existing infrastructure as well as new infrastructure. So yesterday I did a talk with Dan Wenlandt from VMware and it's pretty nice to see all the investments that VMware is making in regards to supporting OpenStack. And just right before here, I spoke on Microsoft and the fact that now Hyper-V is really connecting here. So we are hoping this would happen when we made a bet on OpenStack many years ago and we're seeing it true by everybody allowing the existing infrastructure to run as well as the new infrastructure that people are introducing, say new open source solutions that combine it all together. And we believe that this path will be working for many years to come. So we have some top challenges and it looks like I got the build wrong so let me just roll it through. So we're gonna be covering a number of these, right? So security and compliance, huge area. You wanna talk a little bit quickly on the tech challenges and the responses. You can have root kids, you can have BIOS insertions, anything that can go wrong, may go wrong.  So that brings in trusted compute pools. Then there could be issues such as where you want your data to be stored.  If you have tax liabilities, let's say in the US you're in the state of New Hampshire versus another state, you might have some tax exemption. So you might wanna save your data in such tax friendly states. There might be even restrictions on where you can do certain research such as stem cell research. So the data has to be resident in those locations. So that's where geo tagging comes in. Then with all encryption, decryption and making your system more secure, you need key management. So that was why our interest in key management. And last but not least, Intel's all about bringing you awesome hardware to make your systems run better and better. So we wanna expose that through enhanced platform awareness. And Ragu and Malini are gonna deep dive on all those. So you'll find out the specifics. And then we have unit cost reduction. So the point on the left is these are like my problems. This is an IT shop. I need to supply security and compliance. I need to drive a unit cost reduction constantly. It's how I'm measured and I need to have business uptime. So all these factors as well as there's a number of others like give flexibility and agility to my end users. But what we wanted to show is that in each of these areas we have technical responses, both as an open stack as the overall community. And we wanna deep dive now into some of the specific areas that Intel is helping with. So you wanna talk about many of our contributions before we pull Ragu up? Yep, we just wanna make a point that we're involved in multiple aspects of open stack. We're involved in Silometer, which is all your metering data.  How much RAM consumption, CPU consumption, et cetera. We also wanna make your storage systems more efficient and we'll touch on that in a little bit. We're involved with your image storage and to make sure that they are valid, legitimate, good images, so they're certified images. I already mentioned the trusted compute pools, enhanced platform awareness, all that fits into NOVA. Already mentioned to you the key management system and block storage, we're very, very happy that the John Hopkins people came and said we can provide you encrypted block storage. Network services, we're really getting into this deeply right now, we have DPDK, we wanna enable the V-switch to use DPDK and accelerate your network accesses. So basically we're involved in the compute, in networking and storage and very soon we're gonna give you more and more information on that. Awesome, so let's go ahead and pull up Ragu. He's one of our sharp principle engineers. Let's give you this. All right, so how much time do I have? Four minutes? Sure, sounds perfect. I can do it. Hi, good afternoon, my name's Ragu Yeluri and I'm a principal engineer in our data center systems group and I drive security, path finding and development. Lot of focus on OpenStack and I'm gonna share a couple of things with you. There's a build here, so. Okay, how many heard the term trusted compute pools before? Okay, fantastic. For us, the overarching goal for TCP is we want to provide visibility, control and compliance in this abstracted, virtualized infrastructure called cloud computing. It gives you three things. TCP gives you three things. One, the ability to have a pool of logical servers that have attested to some kind of platform integrity. Okay, today the technology we use is called Intel's TXT. It gives you the ability to attest to the integrity of the platform on which the workloads are running. Okay, once you have this pool called trusted pool, you can do some interesting things with it. You can control where your workloads are running. You can control where your workloads are migrated. And at any time if your policy is violated, your VMs don't get created, they don't get migrated. And more importantly, you can provide this as evidence to your compliance tools, to your security monitoring tools. So when your auditors come to find out if your workloads are violated, any of the audit requirements, you have a verifiable measurement of trust that ties down to the Intel architecture all the way down to our microcode. Okay, we are in the process of creating a set of security controls with FISMA, with FedRAMP, with HIPAA, so that you can evaluate the trust of the infrastructure at any cloud provider on which you can run your workloads. I think for organizations that have sensitive workloads, mission critical applications, that last one is very critical, be able to prove to your auditors. A lot of this is available since the Folsom really is an open stack. We are adding one new thing to this, which is the notion of geotagging. And the idea is pretty straightforward. We're gonna write a secure descriptor into one of the modules on the motherboard. It's called the TPM, the Trusted Program Module.  And the scheduler can then make decisions about the physical location of the server on which these workloads are gonna run. If it's a FISMA workload, for example, the US federal government workload, there is a very clear requirement in the FISMA spec that the US government workloads have to run within the continental US. But in a cloud environment, you don't know where the servers are. But this capability will give you the ability to know exactly which physical server and where that is physically located. This requires some changes to the open stack environment. There will be a new filter in the scheduler. There will be some changes to the horizon interface. There will be some extra specs in the flavors for this. And then there is an attestation extension as well. Okay, there is a blueprint for this available. I think it's rev one. So I request you guys to go look at the blueprint, give us feedback, and also if you think of use cases that you might use, this geo-tagging information, we would love to hear. Okay, one other piece of information on this. There is a NIST publication called NIST 7904. It is an interagency report that NIST publishes, which most of the time the community uses and most of the federal agencies use. So take a look at it. It talks about trusted geolocation in the cloud and how do you use geo-tagging. Okay, I'm gonna switch to an interesting concept that we are working with. Actually, the Citrix guys have been demonstrating this at the booth recently. The idea is you as an organization are gonna control the keys for the encryption and the decryption of the VMs. So when you put something in an OpenStack cloud, a virtual machine image, it is a piece of blob that's sitting there. The actual keys are in the key management server that are in your enterprise. So when OpenStack Nova Compute wants to launch the VM image, that's when it's gonna negotiate with the key management server that's sitting in your enterprise and saying, hey, I'm launching on this physical machine. Here is the ID of the physical machine, which is the TPM ID. Can you give me the decryption key from your key management server? And the key management server will make sure that the server on which you are decrypting is a trusted server before the decryption keys are released to it. So in this model, the only time the VM is in clear is when it's executing. At rest, in motion, up until execution time, the VM is encrypted and protected by the keys that you own in your enterprise. And if you want to get rid of all that stuff, all you have to do is delete the key and the key management server, and the rest of it pretty much is useless to anybody else. We had to do some extensions to Nova Compute for this. We built a key management server that resides in your enterprise. And interestingly, the key management server APIs are very, very analogous to the Barbican key management APIs that are being built. Okay? And this is a good segue to what we are doing with KMS. So back to Malini. Hi, guys. We're kind of rushed through the rest to meet that time commitment. We've already spoken about key management and pretty much, you've met it yesterday in the Barbican talk. Wow, that's loud, sorry. And we've seen how we can use it in different parts of OpenStack, not just to save your objects in an encrypted form, your volumes in an encrypted form, your VMs in an encrypted form. So anywhere and everywhere you want to have some security, you can use the key management to get your key and then encrypt your data and only release it based on your trust level. Are you the authenticated, authorized entity to be accessing that data? I just want to tell you about our Cinder filters. Sometimes you might have storage, all up the wazoo, cheap ones, fast ones, more efficient ones. So Intel has contributed patches to enable you to have diverse levels of storage and to deploy your application on the storage filter that meets your needs. So our filter contributions to that. This basically demonstrates that, you can say I want fast, I want storage A which has fastness, speed, maybe some kind of error correction and things like that. Another thing where Intel has contributed is data collection. You might have allocated storage and RAM and CPU and all that for your VMs and your hardware might be already pre-allocated but it's not being really utilized. So if you want to get more out of your data center, we can use utilization based aware scheduling. So if it's underutilized, go ahead, run another VM over there. So this just basically describes that, you have the API, you say I want a new VM, the scheduler goes and gets the utilization information before it actually schedules the VM. I already alluded to this, the enhanced platform awareness. We have Intel has a whole bunch of products each generation, we have wider registers, more instructions, we have the AES and I, coming down the road will be the SHA and I for secure hashing. So we wanna be able to expose all that so customers can say I want that because I am a secure application, I am doing a lot of encryption, I want that speed up and I want there for an Intel piece of hardware or AMD hardware, NVIDIA hardware, whatever that has those features. So across the board, we'll be exposing any platform enhancement features. Adrian. Thanks, Malini. So I'm Adrian Holman, I'm a software architect in the communications and storage infrastructure group. And two of the really exciting technology areas that we're looking at are the distinct but mutually beneficial software defined networking and network function virtualization. Now SDN as you probably know is that separation of data plan and control plan, often with a logically centralized view of your network. Network function virtualization is very much a service provider led initiative that's looking at how we take the wide variety of appliances that get deployed to drive the wire line and mobile network infrastructures. So we're taking those and we're gonna virtualize them. The combination of these two initiatives are really helping to drive some incredible CAPEX and OPEX reductions, also to help drive some new service revenue possibilities. Through the ability to introduce things in a much quicker fashion. The picture we're showing here on the left is showing really how a lot of these appliances are developed and deployed today. You've got these vertically integrated devices that are quite monolithic, oftentimes developed on proprietary architectures and solutions. And we're moving that to this right hand side, which is very much looking at a more open based infrastructure. We're leveraging industry standards or high volume industry standard servers where lots of open standards. And of course, a lot of networking within these compute nodes. So one of the technical challenges that you get from this fairly radical transformation and how we develop, manage and deploy these applications is that the networking requirements on these, what would you have traditionally looked at as compute nodes now goes up significantly. You need to be able to process data packets at a rate that's suitable for these type of virtual functions to be deployed. One of the things that Intel is doing to try to address that technical challenge is the development of the data plan developers kit. Now Intel DPTK is a set of optimized software libraries. It contains things such as optimized buffer management, classification capabilities, memory management, as well as these optimized drivers for pole mode infrastructure. The combination of all of these software components allows you to take packets from, let's say, an analytics system at least and take them up into user space at incredibly high data rates. In this type of environment, though, what we're seeing is very much a move towards an incredible amount of virtual switching and with these switching becoming a critical component of your network architecture. So we've taken that DPTK technology advancements and now we're applying them to the open virtual switch project. What we've seen by kind of removing or replacing some of that data plan element of OVS and putting in some of our DPTK technology, we can see a fairly incredible increase in the packet processing throughput that you can get. So it's in the region of a 10x type of performance improvement. As a result of that, we think with that type of performance we're helping to facilitate that transformation and getting these virtual appliances deployed on these industry standard compute servers. To move that into an open stack context, we're looking towards Neutron and the modular to framework. There's a lot of fantastic work that's happened with ML2 and you've heard probably in earlier talks today about the switch and there's another talk tomorrow about ML2 and how you integrate open V switch. So one of the things Intel are in the process of doing is developing a DPTK V switch mechanism driver and agent so that we can help to unleash that type of performance potential that we see possible with that DPTK type of solution in a Neutron managed network environment. The intention is that this code and the blueprints related to it will be released during the ice house design cycle. Paul, I'd like to invite you up to talk to some of the storage. Thanks, Adrian. All right, so I'm really happy to get a chance to come talk to you real briefly about really Intel's first really big contribution to Swift. And when I say big, I mean big both in size. This is a very large effort and we hope a very big impact as well. Impact by enabling new use cases and impact because some of the building blocks that we've had to put in place to enable this capability really enable a whole bunch of other stuff as well. In fact, this is such a big topic. I had to include a link down here at the bottom that covers really a 60 minute tutorial I did a few months ago at the Intel Developer Forum. Covers a little bit about Swift, a little bit about Erasure Codes and a little bit about the implementation. Really, what I wanted to do here to give you the super high level is walk through the put of an object or the writing of an object into a Swift cluster with the Erasure Code enabled. So for those not super familiar with the Swift architecture at a real high level, it's really two major tiers. So at the top here, we've got the access tier and this is where things like load balancers and the authentication service live and then a series of proxy servers. So in Swift terminology, a proxy server is responsible for fielding the incoming requests and deciding where to send the request to the backend. And the backend then is this collection of storage nodes here that we've got pictured where of course the media is and where you actually store the information. Now today with Swift, we only support one policy and by policy I mean replication, right? So typically it's triple replication. So if you were to write an object into a Swift cluster today, it would make its way through the proxy and the proxy would send it out to three different locations in the cluster or you could have a different number, you could have two or four. But the point is it's one policy for the entire cluster. So to do the Erasure Code work, one of the building blocks that we had to put in place was a feature called storage policies that allow us to have multiple policies within the same cluster to enable things like not only Erasure Code but a reduced replication tier that you could have a performance tier or a performance pool, a lot of similar type of things you see in other storage systems. So with Erasure Code what happens is an object comes down and it makes its way to the proxy. Whereas like I said today with triple replication that proxy would simply send that object out to three different locations. What we're doing now is we've included an encoder and that encoder in Erasure Code terms kind of like a big distributed RAID system but quite a bit more advanced and with a lot more knobs and features. That encoder is now gonna break that object up into multiple fragments and distribute those fragments throughout the cluster. Then when somebody comes along later and says they wanna get that file, the proxy is going to pull in a subset of the fragments and this is a key point. It doesn't need all of the fragments. And then a decoder is going to reconstitute the object or put it back together the way it was originally and return it back up to the application requesting it. So why is Intel involved in doing this? What's in this for us? Besides the fact that this is really super cool work to do. What might not be obvious is by implementing Erasure Code depending on the type of Erasure Code you choose we can really dramatically lower the storage footprint in the data center. So this really boils down to a total cost of ownership play beyond all the other cool stuff about enabling the usage models and reduced replication, all those kinds of things. But if you take for example, a triple replication cluster, your storage drive ahead is obviously 3x. And if you use a typical Erasure Code algorithm, we can reduce that to 1.5x, reducing the cost of the number of storage nodes you need, the amount of hard drive capacity you need, the power you need to power all that, the cooling you need, all that kind of stuff is lowered through this effort. So that's the super high level summary and I encourage you to take a look at the tutorial or go out and check us out on Launchpad or we have a trial and discussion board where we've got all the great details. And we definitely care heavily about that. So I talked about the three areas earlier, Paul, about unit cost and from IT perspective, three copies of everything is a great technology but getting this algorithm in Erasure Code, we're looking forward to it. Let's do it. So just to bring us back, I want to give you just a reminder of all of Intel's contributions across the board. So Ragu and Malini spoke to the security compliance. You know, you saw quite a bit there. On the unit cost reduction, both from a scheduler perspective, we saw pieces from Swift Erasure Code, a number of things that helped me from an IT shop perspective to lower down my cost and better optimize the usage of my data center. And we didn't spend a lot of time on business uptime but you shall be where things like Flex Migrate are already built into the platforms and can be utilized by the various hypervisors. So we talked about cloud aware versus enterprise traditional apps but these are fundamental capabilities that are built in already that you can consume in OpenStack to drive a higher level uptime of your infrastructure. So what we're gonna do is we have a few minutes left. So what we're gonna do is go ahead and take any questions and pull up the rest of the crew in case there's specific questions. Any questions from the room? Here, let me give you a mic. Are there any plans to upstream the DPTK code? So the DPTK OpenV switch, the question is are we gonna upstream DPTK OpenV switch? That's already available on a site called 01.org. It's an early version of the code. It'll be in continuous development and it's fully open sourced. But I mean like most of the distributions are like using the stuff from OpenV switch.org, right? Is there any plans to merge the code in the OpenV switch? Okay, so the question is will the DPTK V switch accelerated capability get merged into the standard OVS.org? So not at this time. We're working through a lot of the performance issues. It's something we'll look at in the future. But for now, go to 01.org to get the code. Thanks. Yes? It's actually in the same topic. You almost asked that question. So thank you for asking that question. So the following question is what do you need to try another driver if at the end of the day it's the same OVS? Sure, so the question is how is the code based on 01.org different to what's on OpenV switch.org? Why is it different? So the control plane is very similar. There are some differences in how we managed that data path into the VM. It's one of the key ways we get some of the performance differences. And because of that difference, we need a slightly different setup and configuration. But your key OVS config is unchanged. Hi. First of all, I'd just like to say thank you for all of the work you're doing with OpenStack. It's really quite extensive in many different areas. And my question is a bit from left field here. I'm just wondering since Intel is a large organization and is contributing in OpenStack in many, many different ways. Do you have any secret hints on how you can help your engineers interact with OpenStack upstream and how do you kind of get those teams talking about the work they're doing? Wait a minute. So you're saying our engineers are not communicating enough with each other? No, not at all. I'm saying we are getting fantastic contributions from Intel upstream. And I'm just wondering, how did you do it? Because some organizations have difficulties getting there. Very focused effort, right? We're thrilled that you think so. And we just want to say that we've had quite a history of open source contributions. We just kind of stick our nose to the grindstone, review our patches, update them. And we're glad you think we're being successful. Yeah, Intel has, people don't know, we have an open source technology center. We specifically drive and help across almost every, I don't know if you saw all the different open source projects that we work on. But there's thousands of engineers that work across the board to enable open source activities. And Intel has had history, both from a consumption model. Me as IT, I consume Linux and help drive Linux in the industry. Meanwhile, we had folks in our OTC environment, open source technology center, drive contributions in. So we, both from both angles deployment and contributions do it across the board. Very important to us. And we consume some of this ourselves too. So that helps. Any other questions from the room? Okay, so again, we just want to leave you with the point that we are making massive contributions as part of the community. You'll see even more from Intel moving forward. We're strong supporters in both deployment, as well as driving solutions into OpenStack. And we look forward to continued work with the community. So thank you all for attending. Thank you. Thank you.


I'm Adhaktewari and I'm a public policy advisor. Today I'm going to be talking about non-personal data and why you should care about it as an investor. I think you'll find that everyone is familiar with the term personal data because of privacy and the broader increase in awareness that everyone has as to the risks that can take place if private data that is connected by companies is made available in the public domain is leaked or is otherwise hacked. But the term non-personal data is, I would say, not as familiar term for many individuals. So over the course of the next 15 minutes, I hope to tell you why you should care about non-personal data. What is non-personal data specifically? How the government here in India is thinking about non-personal data? Some of the highlights from the report that the government came out with in late 20, like 20 September, October, and finally covers some specific issues that the non-personal data report talks about, just competition and intellectual property rights. Over the course of these 15 minutes, I think you will find that there are many things that are similar between personal and non-personal data, but also many things that are very, very different. And it will likely make a very big impact on how compliance and risk management is done in companies of all sizes, from the smallest startup to the largest corporation. And which is why it's something that we should all be watching out for very carefully.


Back YouTube! So it's been a very long 10 months since I posted something. I took a very long break. There's my daughter's timeout timer. So in that 10 months, let me give you a brief rundown. I started and stopped the job that I decided was a priority at the time because I couldn't do YouTube too and did that for about six months. And then it actually taught me a lot, taught me about what I realized that I really wanted, what I really wanted to be doing with my time and what was a priority for me and it really came down to like being home with my kids. Oh look it, there's one of them now. So I started the job, stopped the job. My husband's grandpa moved in with us for six months. My husband essentially was out of work and looking for a job. We moved into my brother's house, rented out our current home. Then we moved out of my brother's house so that we could all move here to the mountains. It's been crazy and then the virus happened. Holy Tolitos. Okay so all that to say I'm back. I'm gonna be posting again.  Encourage you with a verse every time I post. So here we go. Okay so I have to show you this first because my friend made me this, my sweet friend Sophia. She made us this scripture memory box and I can even do a video on this and maybe Sophia can like guest post. There's tabs in it and so my kids and I we try to do this every day at the breakfast table. So today's verse was Psalm 139 one. Oh Lord do you examine to my heart and know everything about me and that's so true.  I want to address my bread machine today. I had a bread explosion in fact.  I am going to clean it today and I thought I'd post video on how I clean my bread machine.  I mean this is just ridiculous. I scrubbed it. It's like also 90 degrees here today. It's so hot. It's so hot. Here's the before and after. Like so much better. So much better. So just make sure you unplugged it, scrape the crowed out of it. Do hot soapy water with your sponge and then towel dry with a clean cloth. Okay that's how you clean the bread machine. Alright friends I'm gonna be posting a lot more kind of whatever I feel like it. Stay tuned next time for an episode.


So let's start with the healthcare assistance. I've been a healthcare assistant within sexual health for almost five years now it's gonna be five years in March it is my longest role my longest job and I've loved it I love it so much it's such a great job I've had so much fun I love the team and it's just a fantastic place to work. So as a healthcare assistant I am a chaperone for the patient which is basically you are that's third person in the room or if a patient's been examined and you're there to not only protect the patient but to protect the staff as well because if there's any form of allegations towards the patient or from the patient towards the doctor or the nurse that you're with you're that third witness for both sides of them so it's really important to be there for that person and just make sure that everything is legit everything's okay and also you are that person that's going to reassure the patient that's going to calm the person down if they're nervous if they're feeling worried anxious you know you're going to grab the tissues if the patient's crying because sometimes they can be upset when they come into clinic so you are that third person if needed in whichever way emotionally or physically if possible. Also when I'm doing my chaperoning I'm in during examinations quite intimate examinations is a sexual health clinic so if anyone's got any symptoms then we have to well not me but the nurse or the doctor that's qualified has to examine the patient make sure there's nothing on towards happening sometimes they need to take an extra swab if there's extra discharge or anything like that or if there's a sore they'll have to swab that and so I'm that person that sort of hands them the swabs to take or there's like these cultures that we take as well for gonorrhea and thrush so we will be that person that sort of stands there holding it while they do the swabs and then they wipe it onto the culture and then we also label the swabs we have to make sure the date of birth is correct on everything and all of the numbers correspond on everything because when patients come into us we don't use their names on anything it's completely confidential so we just go by date of birth and their specific number that they have been given and they have been registered with they're the only two numbers this isn't an NHS number this is a completely separate system so we need to make sure they've got the right number they've got the right date of birth that matches the sample to the form that's printed off to send to the lab to make sure all corresponds and the records are updated and there's no problems when they receive the results of that I packed the samples as well I clean all of the bed and the area down I set it up for the next patient I stock up the trolley I check the dates on things to make sure nothing's out of date as a health care assistant I am trained to do vena puncture blood switches from here so I've been trained to do bloods I did this training within I think the first month maybe even the second month of starting as a HCA there and we went through sort of all of the theory part so we watched a video about taking vena puncture bloods what the risks are involved and things like that and then we had this fake arm which was completely black so you couldn't actually see so that we had to feel for the vein and practice that way because when taking bloods it can be difficult to see veins or feel for veins so they sort of make that fake arm as difficult as they can for you and we sort of practice by feeling for the vein and you have to feel for that spongy area that sort of bounces back and you think oh yeah okay that could be a vein and then you're going in so we got to practice on the arm until we were confident and then we got to practice on real people I warned the patient before I said okay this is my first time I have had a lot of practice I'm feeling confident are you happy for me to have it go and luckily I've had no problems and at the start they're all like yeah why not you've got to start somewhere so I was quite lucky in that way and I've been doing bloods all day every day when I'm at work for the past five years and to be fair I think I'm quite good at taking bloods it's one of the things one of the skills that I am actually good with is bloods but I love taking bloods I love reassuring patients I love getting the nervous patients the needle phobic patients because I'm quite a calm person I think so I like to just be that person that just calms them down reassures them take the blood done hopefully give them faith in having their bloods taken sometimes I've had to jump on reception as well because sometimes if there's a receptionist off sick or if something's happened and for whatever reason there's no reception I've had to jump on and be actual receptionist as well to help the team out and that's just what we do as a team in sexual health we all help each other out so I just wanted to start with start to finish so basically my shift usually starts at 9 a.m. sometimes I'll finish at 5 p.m. sometimes I'll finish at 7 p.m. it just depends what clinic come out what day it's at and if they need me basically because I just do bank shifts at the minute so I'm just doing extra as and where I'm needed and so when I go in I will check all of my trolley make sure it's all stocked up I will put out everything that the rooms need for the day so any swabs that they need any cultures any like stock up on paper and labels all of the paper side of things make sure the bed's ready make sure there's enough couch roll for the bed make sure enough gloves aprons all of that jazz so that we're ready we're set for the day and we're ready for our first patient to come in okay so the nurse will be the person that speaks to the patient and they will when the patient comes through that door they have to do the initial assessment why the patients hear what their needs are and sometimes it's not just sexual health sometimes there's a lot more going on at home there might be safeguarding issues if it's a young person or even if it's a vulnerable adult there could be something that's happened like a rape there could be an unwanted pregnancy there could be a wanted pregnancy that's a surprise and they're really happy about it which is always nice there could be that there could be abuse at home there could be abusive husbands partners family members there's so much that can go on and you literally do not know what's going to happen when that person sits down in your chair because you don't know the person you don't know the background you need to get all of this information at the start and sometimes they just just they just blurt out all of this information you know like okay we really need to take a step back and actually help this patient so we have to refer them on to put the safeguard in team sometimes mental health services sometimes the police have to get range sometimes we have to call an ambulance we've had that we've had a few people come in with actually ectopic pregnancies and they didn't know about it they just come in with all of this tummy pain and stuff and then when we've examined them and then the pregnant and then we've just been like oh my god so there's actually a lot to think about when you think about sexual health it's not just about testing STI's it's actually a whole holistic picture that we're assessing and it's quite some days can be challenging and when I say challenging I mean it challenges you emotionally because the sort of things that some people have to go through and you don't really think about that so they come in and they tell you all the problems and what's going on at home and what's happened or if there's a safeguarding or if there's a rape or something and you just your heart just breaks it's so it's so emotional and you do get those days luckily nine times out of ten the days are good but you know luckily they've come to see us and they can get the help that they need and we put them in the right direction we never let someone leave without getting them help and making sure they're okay because that's what we have to do as nurses so once you've done the initial assessment what the patient's here for then you just explain to them about the risks involved you explain to them about infections how to prevent infections you're going to be talking about the window periods like I talked about in the last video so just going through those and making them more aware about things making them think about their own sexual health just making sure they're safe basically so once you've gone through all of the details with them explain to the nurse or explain to them what's going to happen what tests we're going to be doing today get consent of course to do all of the tests and then they will hand them over to me so the nurse will hand over to me and then I will hand them the swabs if it's a self swab if they've got no symptoms or anything they take their self swab and then I will do the blood test and so I will give them the swabs I'll show them how to take the swabs from oral rectal vagina or anywhere I will then once they've done all of the swabs I will then take their blood so then the nurse will be in charge of doing things like examinations given out treatment for health promotion referring on to places they'll be in charge of doing all of the risk assessments making those phone calls if they need to phone anybody for the referrals for the safeguarding teams anything like that they'll do the follow-ups if there's any follow-ups needed sometimes as a nurse you might be sitting on the phone to speak to patients answer any questions and go through maybe some telephone consultations for any contraception that they might want so our nurses and doctors not only just deal with sexual health but we deal with contraception as well so the nurses and doctors will advise anyone to if they don't want to get pregnant what contraception they can be taking they'll do a whole assessment and the risks of taking contraception because with certain contraception you have more risks of things like certain cancers and strokes and things so they have to make sure that you're safe for that particular type of contraception and they'll do a whole assessment based on your family history your history and everything like that to put you on the right form of contraception for you that meets your needs and miminises the risk as much as possible so to go alongside that once you've decided your method of contraception depending on what you want so if you want an implant or a coil they are actually procedures so they'll be fitted into a procedure clinic which is again I help with those so in the room you'll have the nurse or the doctor that fits the implant or the coil and then you'll have me who's the assistant I'll set up the trolley I'll get everything ready everything's completely aseptic non-touch technique is completely sterile so I will be sort of making sure everything is clean everything is sterile and then I will just hand over the sterile trolley completely so I don't touch it nothing on the trolleys touched I just open it and let it drop onto the trolley and then the doctor will scrub up they'll put on the sterile gloves and then they will be able to touch the trolley and get what they need for that particular implant or coil and then I'm there to support the patient make sure they're okay because a lot of people are nervous with these sort of procedures so I'll be there to support and reassure and talk to the patient take their mind are completely off what's going on they do everything the nurse does so they see the patient assess the patient go through everything examine the patient so the doctors have a lot more God what we're trying to say like the prescribing I want to say prescribing rights but it's not prescribing rights but they can prescribe a lot more medications than a nurse can so there'll be certain medications that a nurse can't prescribe but a doctor can so the doctors will have to authorize and prescribe all of the medications for the nurse if they need it and then the nurse will give it or administer but the doctors mainly do pretty much what the nurses do they just have a lot more they do have that just a little bit more knowledge with some things they can do by manual examinations which is a physical examination that checks for pelvic inflammatory disease I'll put some links below to all of this information as well so if you're interested in reading up on pelvic inflammatory disease give it a go have a look but the doctors are very good with their examinations the symptom management's prescriptions all of that the doctors are fantastic at that place and they're really really nice to talk to we all get along and we all have a laugh they're just they're all great the consultants are more they have their own set clinics so a couple of the consultants will have like their own clinics for thrush because a lot of women have a lot of problems with thrush and bacteria vaginosis so they will have the special clinic for those people that constantly get reoccurring it because they're trying to manage it and they're trying to help the patient so they'll have their own clinics that just purely run for that there's a dermatology clinic as well that deals with all of the skin problems that goes on down below believe it or not you do get skin problems you can get anything anywhere you can get on your body you can get down there so there's a special clinic for that as well we have special clinics for syphilis follow-ups for PrEP because we're undertaking the PrEP trial at the minute so there has to be a clinic for that to manage those patients and make sure that they're okay and the consultants also do they sort of lead research as well so they'll do like all the syphilis stuff HIV gonorrhea they're really really fantastic consultants they're really good I've worked with a couple of them in these special clinics and it's just amazing it's really nice to see it's so interesting to sit with them and listen to how they are with patients and how knowledgeable they are it's fantastic the psychosexual counsellors deal with people that have those intimacy problems some people have problems with erection they can't last for long there'll be females as well that have a lot of pain during sex when they shouldn't be sometimes there is a more psychological underlying reason for these things so we have the psychosexual counsellors who sort of assess patients and manage that and give them help and advice on how they can improve and just have a healthier sex life I suppose and to be honest I've never sat in on any of these consultations so I'm not a hundred percent certain on the ins and outs of it I just know roughly what they do so I can't really say much on that I'm really sorry we also have a team of young persons counsellors so the young people counsellors they are fantastic they're so lovely the ladies that we've got they're amazing and they just work specifically with young people and any problems or anything or safeguarding issues they deal with the council inside of it for that and they're just amazing we also have our regular psychologists we have regular counsellors we have a team of health advisors as well that deal with everything they deal a lot with the results they do a lot of sort of motivational interviews as well because people that haven't quite a lot of risky sexual behaviors they sort of need that little bit of motivational interview to sort of make them see that actually what you're doing is a little bit unsafe there's better ways of doing these things have you thought about this if you thought about this and just also trying to find the reasons to why they're taking such risks with the personal life like that so I mean again I've never sat in on one of those consultations but I imagine they do an amazing job and it must be quite tough to have those conversations with people but they're all fantastic I love it we have their own office in our Whittle Street clinic and they are amazing they do a lot of research studies at the minute they're doing the prep trial like I said and it's they're just fantastic the amount of research they do and the job that they do is incredible and research is a massive importance across the whole of health care so it's really good that they do this and they do all these studies and trials in our clinics and it's nice the patients take part as well they usually get like I think a 10 pound voucher or something like that if they take part in the trial so it's really good a nice little an incentive I think to get them interested into doing research so yeah they're a great team we also have a whole team of secretaries and admin staff reception we have our own housekeeping it's we've just got an amazing team here is sexual health so that is it I think I've told you everything about the roles hope I haven't missed anything I'm hope I'm doing these videos justice just amazing that you don't realise what goes on in sexual health and family planning because it's just there's so much information to give and there's so much variety that we do every single day no two days are the same it's just fantastic and the different roles and how we all come together as a team and support each other is just amazing I absolutely love sexual health and where I work so as always thank you so much for watching if you haven't subscribed give me a subscribe and see you next week


Oh See it is day two and a half here at Camp at getch camp. I got the coffee rolling right now Gotta get it into my veins as soon as possible. It's the first thing I do in the morning I Don't even know if I'm making correct sense. It's right now. It's just I just need it. Is it is anyone else like that? Let me know. Let me know in the comments I hardly make it downstairs before I get my coffee, but just to recap Just to recap Just to recap the whole trip First day was absolutely phenomenal dreamland felt like we were in a dream weird weather situation Just it was one of those unique days. We caught 42 pounds of bass best five day two It was much tougher, you know bluebird like no wins. I caught a mean mouth, which if you've never heard of a mean mouth bass It's a It's a it's a hybrid.  I can't remember the exact exact mixture of it But I've only caught like one other one in my life. It was on Lake Texoma and it was small You know, it's like a pound and a half and then I lost probably I mean, it's not crazy to say I probably lost the biggest bass that I've ever hooked because my biggest bass my PB is 11 pounds four ounces and this fish Just absolutely whooped me on you know when you get a big fish and I'll replay this clip for you There's a there's a thing that happens usually and your line goes really tight it's like you're not pulling the fish through the water at all and That's when that fish is moving that line is really tight. They just make this Sound it's it's a it's a scary and incredible sound And you just know it's it's like a siren. What you don't got a giant bass That's a big I know it is So we're gonna move something today, so we're taking the high caliber rifles You know big line 25 pound tests seven and a half eight-foot rods stiffies Don't want it too hot. Oh Let my rag on fire I've overcooked the water John got a little too hot don't want to scald your beans Let's get it going Left a little marina store These people are nice I got I got some Guggen mates in there as well actually John had to buy some But of our own brand you learn by his own tussles and Guggen's by their own baits Dude when you're when you're out of a specific color or something like does it matter like you're just gonna buy I'm just gonna buy a thing even if even if that's not the key the green so just love to know that It's been the green gizzard. Yeah, I forgot to mention three point eight To three point three and then on all white four point eight Yeah, green gizzard and then the pearl and just one bait that's kind of standing out from the others And I don't know what it is about about I don't know what it is about white, but it's something with winter white Remember that winter and white also ran into a Guggen He was actually a raccoon audio. He just he was a old-school Fish and free Yeah, he knew me from the A&M days, but he actually he's from around where you are and knows our baits and Pretty cool. We've actually run into three three or four people since we've been here that You know if we're like hey guys like your baits like what you're like what you're working with You know we appreciate it shake your tail feather. Are you like wind burned all over the nose area? This is another thing that's kind of important when you're holding a really really big bass I you know my rule of thumb is something that's over eight or nine pounds like when you get into the double D's Especially you talking like 12 13 14 and above these fishes jaws You know their weight is suspended in water, so they really don't have to support This this heavy weight this body with their their face in the water when we lift them out There's a lot of stress on the on their jaw. So holding them like this like this TPWD sign is showing you It can it can actually pop their jaws out and hurt their jaws So you just want to hold them sideways. Like I said even an eight pounder It's it's probably not gonna do much to them, but good to go But uh, you get you when you get that double D this spring You know just take care of it. Give it a good sniff smell it love it show it some attention and Get some quality picks and return it to the deeps There are bluegill Everywhere in the water by the boat ramp So I'm assuming that that is Down there in all these trees that we see there's zebra mussels on them and there's algae and we've seen a lot of little You know we call baitfish I'm assuming a lot of bluegills Absolute bass candy protein get this part out of the way. You got to eat a little food It's like a long journey Just take a little bit of time just to consume a few calories before you grind all day Me and John a fish daylight dark both days That's really good they make you a love beauty Okay Shout out to the Marina store. That's a really good salsa. All right.  It's an absolute blowout.   They're coming up for I'm pretty sure What was that all for? Hey, they know so our nose move them. They move their nose to it Just wake up have that coffee and eat that chandelier, please Oh Dude that five not our win Makes a difference on the fingertips. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah, we didn't really fully appreciate how nice It's actually supposed to be warmer today, I know I think it's supposed to be in high 40s Which isn't really warm If I get any kind of bite this vicious jaw you just hit me in the face.  Oh my god. That was a head. He's coming for you.  I know you're good with that hole. You got that I just keep the line I keep the lie Do that thing just felt like a minnow compared to that What a chunk of all absolute just all these fish are completely Brick houses, it's amazing Here we go first one of the day a butte It's a nice four-pounder. I would say Let this fish go just Absolutely built close the gap on you pretty quick did it was like probably I started just speeding it up And I think that kind of helped like just speeding it up. I don't know slow light hours, you know I Might fool a couple if you guys have never thrown umbrella rigs really the key is just just a steady retrieve Just thought out there and steady retrieve. We're watching this on the life scope, but Really any bait that you throw in the early spring these type conditions You just want to if you're fishing grass or whatever You just want to reel your bait then you don't have to see it on the graph If you can feel it like if you're throwing a spinner bait or something just kind of tick the tops Just keep it right above because that's where the bait is And they're hunting bait that's in this stuff. So if you keep it up here in mid midwater calm It's usually no good. You need to just keep it right there above He's coming up already man take a peek. Oh my god. Take a peek. Take a peek Oh, yeah, if he was far away. Oh gosh, that's a big one Yeah needed an extra 30 40 feet That's when that long cast matter. That was a big one. Wow. He was intro.    Did he eat it? He ate it I don't know. Maybe I gave him a full send too early. I don't know. Maybe Send the you need to set the hook to the right. Just do it. I'm backing out of the way when I'm good. I'm good either way but No, it's it thumped it. Look there he goes back. Oh my god. That's a nice one See normally I just keep reeling until I feel the weight, but now I'm like I'm like I think they mushroom stamp it.  Yeah as soon as they get on You said this thing five eight That rod it's an eight foot. No, it's a five eight or it is a five eight. Yeah, it's really slow Oh my god, dude, they're poking out. Yeah, they are looking I think it's the wind man. It's a little breakup. They're not hearing the splash as good It's just kind of organic. Yes Yes, that's a good point too It was a little bit rough on that. It's actually weird John would you like to make a cast today? Yeah, I am I can uh I can torque the thing. I just I like watching them. I know you do. This is this is all this is all the fun I need I'm just oh god Done Not good. That was my bad. I tied that up. Is that how that goes? That's how they go Gosh Good thing that wasn't on a 12 That one looks okay. That one's good to go. That one's good to go Just a bump.  Dude, I scaled him. Oh, you dead, didn't you? That's what yeah, he was like gonna eat it. Decent scale. I wonder if that's what's happening Is they go to eat a bait and uh another thing touches them and they or their or they do what a lot of the fish do They just smack it It's a big one He hit it he hit it Freakin hit it dude bumped it. No. Yes Just just a What are they doing?  Oh my god my heart. I need a pacemaker Oh my god He's bigger but a sink some more right there I think he sees it I went the opposite way. That was a pretty good shot on the fish too first stop one one fish Had some big followers, but no takers Buckle up for frosty ride. Yes, sir Put on the Guggen Guggen squad performance hoodie the best fishing hoodie ever made Form fitted to my noggin. Go ahead This is something tiny. I'm I'm gonna slow reel try to get another one Oh, yeah That's what those little ones are with me I was expecting to have a couple more on there There was only a hundred That literally felt like nothing like I was like, dude, is there even a fish on?  That's the mystery He's still on he's still on he's still on he's still on the air and he's still on the air. I feel him He's right there. You see him. See his head his head is right there Oh, dude, I you see him. I think I do. He's not that big. I don't think he's still on Just said the boat shadows That's his head down there.  You think I could reach him in the net? No The fish is still on dude. Is that good one? It could be man, who knows You never know out here. It's so deep. I can't really tell You see me he's upside down now. I just see the white so big. Yeah This is oh, that's him. I see him now. That's what I'm saying. That's him the whole time I think it's like a three. You got him He's so cool. Oh, oh, you got him? Oh, he's trying to come loose He's trying his best to come loose. He just came undone. I got him. Got him. Yeah. No, a little guy That was crazy. That was nuts. He was in that big I thought it was a good one the whole time. Well, it's so deep. I was like, it could be a decent one That's crazy. I've never done that before Well, cool. That was that was nuts I was I was like just Filming John just to show you guys You know how locked in to the to the life scope is and then you just rears back. I'm like, oh my gosh. Do you really have a fish? That was crazy Wow, what dedication man Absolute like button for sticking with it Fish and freaks It's been a hell of a run Time to pack up the camper and head back in He went hard with a jig here in the last hour of the day Just trying to get something to bite in this brush, but It just seems like the way to get bites Keeping your bait in 18 foot of water some sort of shad style bait And It's about it's a numbers game, you know, I'd say one out of every 40 fish that you See and get a chance at will actually commit and you get the fish and there's something that's I would love to know I'd love to have a camera down there and know but with these umbrella rigs We've had this happen Probably 10 times maybe a dozen times where the fish is coming You're sure you're like getting ready to just grip and rip And you feel a bump you feel that bite And there's there's nothing there and then you just see the fish dart away And I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if they're coming up and like Slapping it with their head like trying to injure it first or Maybe maybe someone out there knows this maybe They are Feeling another hook they're going after a specific shad On your umbrella rig and they fill another hook and then they Shoot off because I did come up with a scale one time and made me think about that So I don't know but everything has to go right In order to get those big fish to see it commit and then We'll hook them and then get them in the boat so It's it's a really incredible thing when you catch a big fish And there's just so much cover in here so much brush that You know to get one in the boat. It's a it's a big accomplishment. So Obviously there's tons of them in here. They're being caught. This is a special place And it will remain special for a while. I think because of the amount of cover That is in this lake, but it's not going to last forever. So special lake glad uh glad John convinced me to come down here in a snow storm and It's going to be one of my most memorable memorable fishing trips. I've ever been on Oh, they're all over it. Oh my god, they're all over it. Oh my god. There's so many they all came up They all I thought I lost I lost my original fish. That was not the original fish. I lost my original fish and this guy came up and ate it As soon as I heard you get excited it turned on the camera. Wow, that is two two day ending like I was packing it up. We were getting ready to go in and John's like one more cast one more cast one more cast That was a 10 incher the other day. It was a 10 pounder. I think he did on so That that was not his last cast.

Child prodigies are fascinating to everyone because they outshine adults. Their talents and uniqueness of prodigies did not guard them from devastating circumstances. Some cases are more likely to lead to tragic lives. Welcome to world's best videos. We can buy the list of childhood prodigies who led tragic lives. Let's get into it. Aaron Swartz Aaron was an American computer programmer, political organizer, and internet activist at the age of 14. Born in 1986, Aaron proved to be a pivotal player during the early stages of the internet, despite still being a teen. Swartz became a key figure in internet activism, often hacking systems so that the information could be public. Hacking into the non-profit site JSTOR, using illegal means, Swartz released 4.8 million documents but was charged by the federal government in 2011. With him facing up to 35 years in prison and a fine of a million dollars, instead of serving the sentence, he hung himself. Close people to him mentioned that he was depressed and had other illnesses which could have been the reasoning too. Robert Peace Robert had a promising future. Growing up, his nickname was a professor. At a senior banquet, Robert met an executive and the executive was so impressed by Robert, he gave him a blank check to pay for all his education. Peace was accepted into Yale where he would study biochemistry. At the same time, he was a big time marijuana dealer amassing over $100,000. Instead of getting a job in something he studied, he continued to deal drugs, eventually getting shot to death in a marijuana greenhouse in 2011 when he was 30. Brandon Bremmer Brandon was only a year and a half old when he started to read. At three, he played piano and did first grade work. When he was 10, he graduated high school. At 11, he was in colleges studying to be an anesthesiologist. Unfortunately, in 2005, he was found dead after shooting himself. It is believed that his death was a suicide, but he didn't leave a note and he didn't have any mental issues. Sergey Ringeco Sergey was two when he learned how to read. He was talented at everything he did. He excelled at mathematics and other sciences and began studying economics at the age of 15. Growing up, his mother was part of a Jehovah's Witness cult and isolated her son from any outsiders. When he left for college was when he was freed from his mother's grass and began to take drugs. He got really into anime and video games, eventually leading to deep depression and becoming delusional.

Hi again, in this lesson we're going to talk about that how to write a function for palindrome in python programming language. We're going to write just a function for checking if a word is palindrome. Word is a palindrome if sequence of characters in that word is the same backward or forward. So let's define our function. Let's call it palindrome and let's put as an argument of our function one word that might be palindrome. So we'll say palindrome word will be the name of our argument and inside our function we want to check if the original word is the same as that reversed word. So our original word is palindrome word so if our original word palindrome word is the same as our palindrome word reversed we want to reverse our palindrome word. We will use this code to reverse our palindrome word and if this is the case that reversed word is the same as original word then our function will return true value and else our function will return false value. So let's call our function and let's check few words. For example let's check if Anna is palindrome. Of course it is because Anna if you read it forward or backward you will have the same sequence of characters. Let's check for example New York. New York is not palindrome. Let's find another one. For example let's say madam. Madam is palindrome. Let's say for example auto. It's again palindrome and so on you get the point. So that's all in this lesson. Thanks for watching. See you in some next lesson.


I am Dr. Saurabh Verma and I am the Head of Department at the Department of Spine Care, Manipal Hospital, Dwarka. Today, we shall be discussing about sciatica. Sciatica is defined as any pain which is going down the leg in the distribution of sciatic nerve. The sciatica nerve arises from the lower number plexus, goes around in the buttock area and goes down the leg on both sides. Typically, the sciatica pain usually occurs on one side of the body, however, it may occur baratorily. Sciatica pain is usually due to irritation of the sciatica nerve. The most common cause is the prolapse vertebrate disc in the lower number spine, however, it may be due to muscle sprain, an entrapment of the sciatica nerve within the piriformis fossa by the piriformis muscle. Usually the sciatica pain which is mild usually settles down over the period of time with rest and over the counter medications, however, one should seek medical attention if the sciatica pain is severe, associated with tingling and numbness in the legs, altering with the bladder and bowel symptoms and causing weakness in the legs. Sciatica pain usually does not require any surgery and is still subsiding over the period of some rest and over the counter medications, however, if it is associated with severe pain or causing bladder to bowel discomfort or is associated with motor weakness, may require surgery.


How would we know if we are healthy in religion? In other words, on what scale do we measure health and religion? According to Islam, the scale of measuring health and religion is based on the number of verses of the Holy Quran. And narrations from the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them, once been taught. Not to mention how much one puts them into use in their daily lives. Hence, health and religion means that your religion should not be infected with any false or phony beliefs. Having our behavior in check and avoiding taboo things are what bring us closer to health and religion. Every once in a while we can find people who spend their lives thinking they have health and religion.


My name is Pardis Sabeti. I am an assistant professor of Harvard University and the Broad Institute. I work in genetics and infectious disease, and in particular, I use genomic technology to study diseases like malaria, Lassa fever, Ebola, and cholera. These are devastating diseases of humanity that are affecting many people today. I do much of my work in West Africa and Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and I'm very passionate about that work. And also another time I'm in a rock band called Thousand Days as a lead singer and writer for that band. The next generation of leaders, I would say they'd be in part defined by fearlessness to ask broad, ambitious, multidisciplinary questions of themselves and of the world. I mean, the world is getting increasingly complex with more and more data, more and more diversity. While specialization, I think, is always important, it's now not OK to just specialize. You have to be able to work in an interdisciplinary environment and have depth and breadth. As a university professor, I have the opportunity to get to see the next generation of leaders amongst my students and in my lab. And as an example, just in my own lab, I have physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, anthropologists, biologists, all working together to answer these questions, each bringing in their own background and depth, but also having that breadth to communicate across a context to answer questions. I almost call it the sort of Renaissance man, which is obviously something that has a precedent. It's been an idea that's been around for a long time, but perhaps our generation is rediscovering it. The greatest opportunities and challenges of our generation would probably be power. In our generation, we have the more potential for individuals to affect change to our planet than ever before. We've got more data to understand patterns about our world. We have more tools to affect change in our world. And so we can make tremendous positive impact on the world around us. But we have to make sure that we do that, that we get through this technological age in a way where we affect positive change, not negative. What do I hope to gain from the young global readers community? I would say perspective. I hope to gain perspective. And I hope to give perspective. I think my own heuristic for growth is to seek out alternative perspectives from my own to help me sort of develop my thinking. And so often we get our perspective from those around us, from our sort of talking and bantering with our family, our friends, our colleagues, those around us. And while that's extraordinarily important, there's only a certain number of perspectives that you'll get. I guess in my area, in my field, we'd say that our algorithm is only going to find a local optimum. But if we can increase the search space, if we can look at people from more diverse backgrounds from different countries, continents, different fields, we can get a much richer perspective. And I think that the young global leaders community is exactly that for me, because there are people from so many different continents, so many different places in life, so many different approaches. The one thing that we all have in common, though, is this deep desire and passion to affect positive change in the world around us. And I think it couldn't be a better community in order to broaden my horizons to gain new perspective. And so in that way, I'm really excited to become part of this community and look forward to seeing what's all the possibilities.


What should you do to be enlightened? Now once again, enlightenment is not an achievement. Enlightenment is not going to the peak. Enlightenment is a homecoming. You come back to your original nature. Right now you have identified yourself with many things that you are not, isn't it? Now, we were looking at this yesterday. What you call as my body is an accumulation that you slowly gathered, isn't it? When you were born you were only so much, now you are so much white, you gathered your body slowly, accumulation. What you call as your mind is accumulation. Everything that you know around you is accumulation, isn't it? That means you are deeply, deeply identified with things that you are not. A piece of earth you picked up and made body out of it.   Isn't it so? So right now you have gotten distorted vision. If you stop your distortions and come back to your original nature, that's the enlightenment. What do I have to do? There is really nothing to do. If you don't do anything, it will happen. But right now you have gotten into a mental state that there is no way you can do nothing, all the time you are out doing something. You think if you don't do anything, something will happen. Yes, it will happen, something fantastic will happen, but you have not allowed yourself in that state for a moment. So, to bring you to that state where you can do nothing, we will have to make you do many things.  If you simply sit here and don't do anything, either with your body or with your mind or with your emotions, the reality of the existence will burst forth within you. Nobody to stop it. It is just that you are constantly on.  Endlessly it's going on. You can't stop it, you can't hold it, you can't do anything about it. Because once you get into the trap of the mind, it just goes on endlessly. It has its own momentum, you don't have to do anything about it. One day if you rev it up and leave it, it can go on for many years picking up more and more momentum. It doesn't need your assistance anymore, isn't it so? Do you see this happening? People who are reasonably happy in the world are those people who got a little break from the nonsense in their head. That's all. They are not all the time like that. Some moments they are not so messed up. So they are okay. If you don't mess yourself up, if you simply be here, you are enlightened. But you can't keep your hands off it all the time it's on it. So slowly with yoga you know all these postures, we'll tie your hands up in such a way that you can't mess with it. Because you're in a posture somehow. We'll do it to you somehow.
