O God, we thank you. We bless your name. You know, in Hebrews 4, we also see that we are called to draw near with in confidence in boldness to receive grace and to receive mercy. So even as we draw near with thanksgiving, we can also draw near with expectation to receive, to receive grace and mercy. So let's do that as well. Let's ask the Lord to pour out His grace, to pour out His mercy. Even as we draw near with boldness, and as we draw near with confidence, hallelujah. Thank you, Lord.

It's just a couple of announcements before we progress. I just want to know, are there people here who are not part of the biblical preaching class? If you can just put your hand up, please. You're saying, I'm here. I've signed up for this course, Minister of the Pastry Evangelist Teacher, but I'm not in a biblical preaching or homiletics class. Anyone like that over here? No? So everyone signed up for both the courses. Okay, that makes things simpler. Okay. So today will be the last session for this course, Ministry of the Pastry Evangelist Teacher and also just want to make this announcement for those of you who are on the eLearning platform that today is the last session for this course and there will be the online tests which will be the grading for the course, the graded tests, which will be released later. So you can be mindful of that. Just check that out. But today will be the last class for this course, okay? And for the online students, for those of you who are here, from next Monday onwards, what we'll do is we'll, in case some of you just stumble onto this classroom, I'll put up the link for the other course which is biblical preaching. So even if you come here, you just click and you'll be redirected to that course, right? So I'll put that in the stream. So we'll join in the, both on Mondays as well as the biblical preaching class which is on Wednesdays, we'll do biblical preaching. So we'll have the presentations and probably 30 minutes of teaching followed by presentations. So those of you who have not yet signed up for the presentation, for the sermon presentation, please do that. You can fill in on the first page, you fill in the sermon topic and the sermon title and the main points and on the second page, the second tab which is there, you can sign up for, sorry, I mean, you know your schedule so you can plan accordingly, right? Okay, so let's go as per that schedule. Okay, and for the e-learning platform, of course this doesn't apply, you just prepare your message and as instructed in the discussions, you record it and you put it on the discussions page and I'll get back to you with comments and feedback. So all you have to do is record it and put it on the discussions. You'll put the link for your video, sermon video on the discussions page, right? Okay, so let's continue from where we left off. Last class, we were looking at the life of, the life administer of the pastor and which pastor were we discussing? Anyone? Pastor Ashish. Okay, Pastor Ashish and we did some trivia also on his name. Anyone remember the full name? Yes, Pastor Ashish Srikanth Raichur. Yeah, it's Ashish Srikanth Raichur, not pastor. Okay, yeah, that's right. So that's correct. So we looked at the life early on how we started off and we see the apostolic grace, the anointing. So whichever season of life you see him starting a new work, like planting a work which would grow, which would become even a church. And also he served in existing churches as well. You see the apostolic grace, which is to start a work where there's no work. And also we see the pastor, the gathering of people, the nurturing in the word and enabling people to discover the call and the purpose. And of course I shared my own testimony of, having discovered the call of God in this church. And it just came here to visit, to serve as a visiting minister in worship and the prophetic word coming there and then a lot of things happened after that. But they really, God sends a fuma. He brought me here, the prophetic word that he's called me to be a pastor and then ended up serving in the same church after I think maybe four years after that prophecy, ended up serving in the same church, starting as a volunteer and then on to become staff serving full time. And so gradually discovering the prophetic call being trained in it as we began to attend the church and so on. So that is something that happened also about the life of apostatias, personal growth, personal spiritual growth and prayer and quiet time with the Lord as not as something that is foundational, something that is given and not something which is optional. And I'm just gonna be sharing some stories. So just to my observations. So it's something that for us to learn as well. So this happened early on in 2005, 2006. So we were going for a meeting. We were going for a, this was a meeting which was happening in some place in North Karnataka, Belgam, Hoobli at Belgam. These are two cities close to each other. So we were going for one of the meetings there. I think it was Hoobli. So we were going there and then I think a group of maybe 10 or 12 of us going in a train. And so around, the train reaches Hoobli maybe around seven or eight ish, I forget, maybe six, 30. But I noticed that around three or four, I saw Pastor Ashish get up from this, his bunk, his birth in the train and then get up and go. Then I thought he was going to the restroom. So I didn't see him come back for a long time. So then I wanted to go to the restroom. So I went and then I saw him standing in between that area there, where you have the restrooms in the train. So standing there, I just praying, just praying and praying in the spirit. So it was around 334 ish. So then I just said, hello, man, came back. Then I was thinking to myself, yeah, he was the main speaker for the meeting. So this meeting was about two days or three days. So yeah, I know he must be preparing. So he's praying and preparing. And so I didn't quite expect that on the train at three o'clock in the morning. So we went for the meeting, we finished the meetings and we were on our way back. And that particular Sunday, we had a guest speaker. And those days, we just had two locations. Right now we have five locations, church locations in Bangalore. Those days, we just had two locations, one the central location, Bangalore Central and then the other one South, Bangalore South. So there's two locations. And we had a guest speaker, right? Speak at both locations. And so for that particular Sunday. So anyway, so we were all coming back and again, on the journey back to Bangalore and we were arriving, I think it's probably Saturday morning, I noticed the same thing, three o'clock, get up and go. So, and I was curious this time. So I just went and kind of saw what he was doing.  For this person and a very valuable lesson, right? So I knew in my mind, you know, this is the time to relax.  So this is the time to just relax and, you know, you have a guest speaker speaking on Sunday. So you don't have to, you know, really intensely prepare or something. So you can just relax. But that was not so, at least for him.  You know, it was not there as an option, this time with God. So that was a very valuable lesson that I learned as I observed that in, you know, as a minister of God, you know, as a child of God, really, that time with God is really, is a privilege for us, right? And it's something that is not an option. It is as important for us as eating, drinking, breathing, even. It is our lifeline, right? So that is something that stayed with me through the years to realize that, hey, you know, you don't take time off from God. You know, you could be on vacation, but you don't take time off from God because he is our lifeline and our, you know, yeah, I'm not saying that you need to kind of, you know, physically work yourself up and always be paranoid about it, but then really enjoying the presence of God and being in the presence of God is really a privilege for us. So make use of that, right? So that's something I realized. Personal spiritual growth, personal time with God is not an option. It's not for the sake of ministry. You know, that was something that it's not just to prepare a message because it can easily become that. You can easily come to that when one gets into the so-called full-time ministry. There is that pressure to, of course, to share the word. There is that internal pressure to prepare, et cetera, because we can and we can't. So that is always there. But our time with God is not just for that. It's not just for that. It's not just for that particular event or a weekend service. It is something that we enjoy, something that we need to enjoy, and it is something as important for us as breathing. And the Lord Jesus made it very clear. Man should not live by bread and law, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. And, you know, that word used there is reema, every word, and how can we, you know, receive the reema from God unless we spend time in the word and in His presence, right? So that's an important lesson. Also, personal life and character holding oneself accountable to a very high model standard, being impartial and being a person of integrity is also something, you know, there were many, like one of the instances is for the pastor to conduct a wedding, right? To conduct a wedding ceremony and to officiate and to legally do that, you know, you need to get a license from the government. And then it's a long procedure here. I don't know how it is now, but it was a long procedure doing this and that.  And because we didn't have a church location, all our church locations are either rented or we use facilities which are, you know, given freely, one of them, you know, it's a school which is given, the policy of the school is for us to, you know, for churches to have a service there. So things like that. So we don't have our own church building, right? At least not yet. So the thing is, as part of this giving of this license apparently, you know, the official comes and visits and checks the, you know, where is the church meeting, et cetera. So anyway, so one way, there's a police verification. So when you went to the police station and then, you know, things. So people, the questions asked where, you know, where does the church meet? And so he said, hey, we don't have this thing as yet, but the person who was helping or getting the paperwork done said, you know, just say this, you know, say that this is where you meet. But he said, no, that's our office. That's our registered office. The church doesn't meet there. No, no, but it's okay. You just tell them. So he just left the place and came and from then, you know, from that day, from that year, we didn't even bother applying, but we made use of the services God really provided that avenue, services of the registrar of Christian marriages. So for the weddings that we do, the registrar of Christian marriages is here to get the paperwork done so that we can conduct the ceremony and the wedding ceremony, but the registrar is there to do the paperwork and to make it legal as per the norms of the government. So we see that there are no shortcuts, no compromises when it comes to, you know, these kind of things. So observe that as well. Another aspect, very important aspect of ministry is also the rhythm of ministry, you know, what we call as a work-life balance. Now, when I joined the ministry, I observed that I saw that, you know, Pastor Ashish was running his software business and of course the ministry, which was again growing, that is the time when we started the Bible College 2005 and also there were other things, you know, church plans, church locations coming up in Bangalore city itself. So one by one. So there was a lot of workload, both in terms of ministry, software business of also growing, and of course, a family and, you know, two children and spending time with him and so on. But I see that, you know, he had this or still has that rhythm of ministry.  So for us to have that understanding as well to say that, you know, it seems noble to say, you know, well, I'm really busy. I'm really working busy for the Lord. I'm going here, traveling here, doing this, attending or, you know, going for meetings and preaching in this meeting, sharing in this meeting or some evangelistic meeting here, there. And to say that, you know, I don't even have time for family, but I'm doing all this. Seems very noble, but really, that is misplaced zeal, you know, or misplaced enthusiasm for ministry really because we are neglecting completely what God has designed for us and, you know, and skewed to one aspect of life and ministry. And what we need to understand and realize is that if this gets affected, if family life, if marriage and family is affected, then it's going to creep into ministry as well, right? And the Lord who created or invited us for ministry is the one who designed family and marriage. So therefore that needs to be taken care of as well. I remember Saturdays when the children were growing up that he would not schedule anything, no appointments, no meetings, nothing at all.  So something like that. So he would take care of that, right? So the importance of that, importance of family, again, coming through, you know, and not feeling guilty about it, really. Of course, there will be some emergencies, maybe some funerals to take care of, maybe some, you know, some unexpected things. And yes, the family will understand at those times, but really as a routine to carve that portion and say, you know, as much as, you know, this is what I will do for ministry in terms of ministry, there's no compromise on that. But this is what I will do for the family, no compromise on that as well. Okay, so that was something that, again, I learned from the life of an administrative pastor, Ashish. Okay, so I think we just started by looking at the ministry aspect of it and the church. So let me just share a little bit of that. So like, you know, we shared last time, I kind of rushed through it. So I'm just taking time to just go over it again. So the church started in 2001, very humble beginnings, 12 people living room, father's house, and that was how it was. But what I noticed then is that when God gives the vision, you don't downplay it, right? God gives a big vision and whatever vision, you know, however, in our human understanding, it could be big or in our human scale that we have, it could be big, but really it's nothing in God's eyes, right? It's, so it's a vision which God has given. And like Paul says, it's a, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, right? So don't, no need to trivialize it, no need to downplay it. It's a vision, it's God given, is go with it, right? And one thing I realized was not to despise the day of small beginnings. You will start small, or you might start very big, that's absolutely okay, but don't despise the day of small beginnings, right? You know, maybe it's just three people and that's how the church or the ministry starts, but don't despise it, be faithful, don't trivialize it, but you know, just be faithful and go after it. Just wanna share about the church location where I serve, and this was started sometime after, soon after, and it's in the south of Bangalore. It's not a very cosmopolitan, now it is, it's not a very cosmopolitan, you know, in terms of demographics, like you have the typical, the actual Bangaloreans there, you know, you see a lot of the local language being spoken there. And now of course we have a lot of migration from other parts of the country, people coming there, but typically you hear a lot, if you go to central Bangalore, you will hear Hindi, you will be spoken, you'll hear a lot of English being spoken, but if you go to South Bangalore, you will hear a lot of the local language which is Kannada being spoken, right? So that's in terms of demographics, that's how it is. So that church was planted soon after, I think a couple of years after the central location was planted. And what I want to highlight here is that the effort that was taken, you know, just to say that, you know, don't despise the day of small beginnings, like when the church was started in the location, the where it was, the venue, it was a, it was again a rented place, a hall. And initially the first service, I think some people from, you know, the central location also went there just to encourage, you know, and be there part of the prayer and worship and so on. But from the second service onwards, it was just maybe two people and at the most three. One is the pastor, Pastor Ashish, the other one, someone to lead worship. I think it was Pastor Georgi who was part of, you know, who was there in Bangalore, India at that time. And one other person maybe to help or sometimes it'll be just two people.  Now the distance from the residence to this place is, I think about, let me just check, okay. Very quickly, sorry, I should have checked earlier. Okay, it takes about, it's about 22 kilometers and in Bangalore traffic, it takes about an hour or so, okay, one way. This is to drive down, right? Okay, so to go to travel one hour, you know, this is morning, early morning, to start the service, to do that.  And Monday, you know, go back to your software business, right Monday, and of course, the needs of the church, responsibilities of the church, which will just come in during the week, whenever. Now this went on for, not just one Sunday, not just two Sundays, this went on for many Sundays, I'm thinking at least three months, at least 12 Sundays, before the first family started coming, and then the work grew from there. So, you know, when God gives a vision to persist, to endure, and to press on, right? It is, yeah, it could be tiring, it could be discouraging at times, sense, you know, which might really bring you to a point of really questioning, you know, did I hear right? But when you know, for sure, when God has spoken, and that God has called, and to persist, right? And when, at that point, when, at the point when I, in there, the church was about, I think 20 people, 25 people, and this over the years, you've seen it grow, and yes, there is potential for more growth, and a lot more work needs to be done, but it continues to grow, right? So, being faithful, even when things are small, very important, what I noticed from the ministry, right? The other thing, second thing that, again, I noticed was commitment to the vision, commitment to the territory, okay? Commitment to the vision, commitment to the territory, very, very important, non-negotiable. You know, sometimes what happens is people are, okay, committed to the vision, and then when they don't see, right, we don't see things happening, then they either alter the vision to suit, cut it down, to suit their understanding, or convenience, or shift territories, right? But to be committed to say that, I'm committed to this place, this people, till, you know, till God, you know, till you take me, till the work is done, or till you move me, to be committed to that, to the land, to the territory, you know, because like I mentioned, Pastor and Amy were in the U.S., and in software business at the time, of course, didn't have the business, but was working for another organization, but, so the trend was, of course, to go, to settle, you know, overseas, to have a little comfortable life, and of course, you know, visit, and maybe take care of ministry, whatever, you know. So, but then, to come back, and to know that, okay, this is the area, or this is the territory, this is the land, these are the people. So, to be committed and to remain committed, right? It's very, very important through the passage of time, through the seasons, to the ups and downs, to remain committed, and I think that is very, very crucial. That is crucial, and it doesn't mean that you don't minister elsewhere, or you don't travel elsewhere, but some of the mistakes which are costly, you know, mistakes which people made, what I've observed is that, you know, as to, well, God has called into a place, forgetting that, or over a period of time, because things were tough, to take a easier route to travel and minister, as an itinerant minister, okay. Now, that seems, that seems, well, easy, in the sense there is already a congregation, someone else is taking care of the congregation, so you do a teaching, or you know, as a guest minister, going to different places, and doing that, well, again, you know, I'm just saying this very carefully, because for some, God has called, you know, especially as a teacher, be an itinerant ministry, and it will be works in places where there is already a work, and then somebody started that, and you go there to, you know, like upper laws, or, you know, we're like reading scripture, we see that to go to strengthen that work, that is also, you know, God's plan, that is very much biblical.  So you're spending more time out than here, and in the initial phase, or stage of ministry, where it needs to be strong, where the work needs to be strong, where, you know, it's like building that foundation, digging up all that dirt, and putting things, and the structure is not yet there. So if we ignore the foundation, or ignore building up at that phase, you know, it's never going to be strong, right? Because we're going, focusing on so many other things than what needs to be done. So commitment to territory, commitment to the vision, it's very, very important. So I'm sure you've, you know, you've seen or heard the vision of all people's church, the vision and the vision statement. So I just thought, maybe for those of us who have not, I'll just play that video, which we recently put together, and maybe you can all watch it together in just a minute, please. And welcome to All People's Church. Our vision at All People's Church is to be salt and light in the city of Bangalore, a voice to the nation and to the nations.  As a family church, we grow together as a community in Christ-centered fellowship, caring and serving each other in love. As an equipping center, we empower and equip every believer to live victoriously, mature into Christ-likeness and fulfill God's purposes for their lives. As a missions base, we engage in meaningful ministry to bless our city, our nation, and the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ through the word of God and supernatural demonstrations of the power of the Spirit. As a world outreach, we serve locally and globally by nurturing godly leaders and spirit-filled churches who can impact their regions for the kingdom of God. We're so glad that you're here. Thank you for being with us today. So I just thought... I think most of you would have seen that if you're following the service. Yeah, so that is the vision. So like we have discussions on the vision, the vision needs to be communicated. It cannot be just in our heart, in our minds. As a spiritual leader, you need to communicate the vision. And since we are all human beings, we tend to forget, vision tends to leak. And so it needs to be reiterated. So we do that every Sunday with the church announcements and also put it up in our communications, in our church website and so on. So we do that, right? Oh yeah, Charles, yes. The thing is the second part of it, as being a church family, as missions and the world outreach, those were additions too. So that's why it's a little more detailed, where the vision itself is to be salt and light to the city, a voice to the nation and to the nations. So this is kind of reiterated. And of course, it's great to have a vision, but vision also means work, right? It just means the bigger the vision, the bigger the work. So we need to understand that vision, I just put it here, vision equals work. Yeah, Kennedy, just a minute, I see your hand. Yeah, I'm coming back. Okay, so we see that vision equals work. So we, as ministers of God, it's exciting to have a great vision and hear maybe a prophetic word and say, or you have a dream and you call to the nations, but I'll call to the nations and call for a great work. But you need to understand that, that means work. It means labor, intense labor, right? We need to understand that. Yeah, Kennedy, you have a question. Okay, thank you, thank you very much. What I was asking is that, talk about how you're getting your finances from the state, from the state. Yeah, I think yeah, yeah, put it on. Okay, okay, yeah. So finances, yeah, sure. I also, next year we will have a full-fledged course on church administration for the third year. And you'll find it very, very interesting, extremely interesting. So it goes into a lot of details of the working of the ministry. It's a very useful course to, even if you're not planning to do other courses, I think you should do that. Okay, but anyway, with regard to financing, right from the beginning, it's supported by the believers in the country, in the nation, and by those who, so which means tithes and offerings, from the church, members, and those who worship. That's the thing. And right from the beginning, the accounting process and everything, very transparent and very, what is the word I should say, always making a note of that, a record of that. In fact, I came across a notebook that was there in the initial days. I think the first few meetings. So it was a notebook. It was handwritten and about tithes and offerings and what were the expenses towards tea and coffee after the service and so on. It was really, so to understand that as well and to implement that as well. So one side is, okay, people are giving tithes offerings and then to implement and say, okay, to, or the other aspect is also to start in a separate bank account. So that doesn't interfere with your personal money, even though this work might be spoiled to have a separate bank account for the church. So everything goes into the church, expenses come out of that and so on. So this is how it has been functioning. Bank loans, no, yeah. So maybe you could ask some specific questions when Kennedy, I'll just put in a few things here, a few more thoughts here. So specific bank account for the income and expenditure and also recording of that. So proper accounting procedure and everything else, so that you're not, there's no shortcut, you're not breaking any rules, rules of the government and so on.  So that aspect of it. The other thing is the church also does not have what is called as, in India called as an FCRA, which means we don't have a means to receive foreign funds or currencies as long as there's an Indian account, we can do that. And so that's how it works. So the ministry is supported by the people besides some offerings from the church itself, right? So that's how, yeah. So bank loans, no, we did not consciously avoid that and not wanting to be in debt, so no bank loans. As far as, well, staffing and salaries grow ago, we're a registered trust. And so we also have people serving as volunteers, people serving as staff, full-time staff and for the initial years of ministry, since Pastor was having the software business, he was not taking a salary from church. In fact, the software business was tithing 10% of the income of the business was being tithed into the ministry. So that was happening. So as full-time staff, of course, we have that entire HR process of salaries and appraisals and assessment of work. All that is in place. So I think at least twice a year, we have an assessment of work, of our responsibilities where we are doing, according to what we are supposed to be doing, and the quality of it and so on, and cost corrections and so on. So we have that in place. And yeah, so salaries also support of the staff and pastors is also not something random, but it's already in paper, on paper and fixed and so on. So yeah, any other questions that you might have about finances? Okay, so all the other procedures of having, we have a firm which accounting firm which takes care of the accounting process and making sure that we comply according to what is, what is expected by the government and so on, filing of returns, so on. Okay, if you have questions, you feel free to put it up, even if something comes to your mind later. Okay, so commitment to the territory, commitment to the vision, again, very important, and to continue and be consistent, that is again, very, very important, not to have, there will be seasons which are difficult, there are times which are difficult situations, which might be very, very challenging, but to continue on consistently. That is something that I've learned from the church administration. Another aspect of it is to, when I'm sure in the local church you're, again, you might have the different phases that the church goes through, right, that the foundation stage and the building stage and so on. So the thing is to build by inspiration, I'll just put it here. I've seen both happening, build in the sense, build by inspiration, in the sense, everything about ministry is, we are led by the Spirit of God, we are dependent on God and submitted to him, but there are these times when you are inspired to do something, right? You are inspired to start something, you are inspired by the Holy Spirit, of course, you're inspired to maybe go and take a particular ministry direction, you're inspired to do that, right? So build by inspiration, in the sense you, God leads you, you do that, you obey that, check, verify and do that, and a lot of ministry initiatives have come like that, build by inspiration, you see a need and then there is the leading of the Spirit to do that, and of course it involves a time within which it needs to be done and so on. So build by inspiration. The other thing is also to build, I'm just using the word build by design, meaning you are intentional about it, okay? You are intentional about it. So it doesn't mean that you are not Spirit led, you are not Spirit inspired, right? But when we depend on God, we have the precepts, we have the principles of God, right? And we have the presence of God leading us, guiding us. So yeah, inspire before it, okay? Yeah, so when we say inspiration, it's not just to inspire others, but you inspire by the Holy Spirit, probably, I'm just using that word inspiration, but to wait on God, God gives the idea and you do it. And also to build by design, in the sense you are intentional, right? You say, okay, this is the plan. This is what God has given. So what can I do? What do I need to do in order to reach here? So being intentional about certain things, right?  Well, no, but he gave a big picture and in order to reach that, I need to do this. In the natural, I know that these are things that need to be done. So you build intentionally as well, okay? Says five locations. So, hey, but did God say, okay, you start here? Well, no, but I need to investigate, find out if the place is available and then go there and start it and do it, right? So inspiration and being intentional in building the work. So both need to go hand in hand. I've seen that. Okay, then the other aspect is the spiritual. Again, I'm just using these words, the spiritual and the administrative side, not the structural, the responsibility. So, getting equal importance to both, because we know that, well, ministry work is spiritual work. When I say spiritual, it means that it involves the spirit of God, it involves being ministering to the spirit of man. So it is spiritual, the word, the prayer, the worship, emphasis on that, being rooted in the word, being led by the spirit, very important. So it is spiritual work. But what undergirds the spiritual is the administrative side, we need to understand that. And we see that when we read one Corinthians 12, we see Helps, administration, Romans 12, you can see leadership and so on. So there is the administrative, the structural side of things, never neglect that, okay? Because we neglect one of these, it has the ability to pull down the other, right? But you can have a great, I mean, well-oiled machine, machinery, in terms of ministry, where everything is like process-driven and you have things in place, you have leaders in place, you could be doing that. But the minute we neglect the spiritual, you see that bringing down, it could be well-oiled, but there's no fruit the way you were designed to be fruitful and it pulls down the administrative side as when people are feeling fulfilled, even though it's all in place, et cetera, and vice versa, right? So spiritual and the administrative responsibility. Okay, let's take a break. I think it's, and then we'll come back. We might not use up the entire session, right? The whole, probably we'll have some questions also and discussions, but we'll come back after a break, okay? Thank you.


Good morning everyone. My name is Travis Newhouse. I'm here with Justin Shepard. I'm Chief Architect at UpFormix. UpFormix provides tools for operators to better manage their cloud infrastructure. We have a data platform that does real time distributed analysis of resource utilization across your entire infrastructure. And we build on top of that tools so that operators can analyze SLA, provide orchestration, as well as charge back and capacity planning so that you can manage how your physical resources are being consumed by the virtual elements inside your OpenStack environment. We also enable you to provide self-service tools to your users so that they can set their own monitoring policies and alarms. And we integrate all of this on top of both OpenStack and Kubernetes. And my name is Justin Shepard. I'm a distinguished architect at Rackspace, and I function as the CTO for our private cloud business. Rackspace's place in the world in private cloud is really to be your operating partner. So we do have deployment tooling and everything required to be able to lay down OpenStack. We've open-sourced it as part of the OpenStack Ansible project. But really what we want to be able to do is manage clusters for people. A lot of times companies will get into the private cloud game, and they will spend resources on managing the cluster or managing their clouds. And that takes away from being able to use those resources for the things that make you money. So a lot of our value is in operating those clouds for our customers and hundreds of customers, thousands of nodes at scale. But we're able to deploy OpenStack anywhere all back by fanatical support and expertise. So it really is around being an operating partner. As I said, we do have a deployment framework. Seems like everyone has got an installer. Seems like there's also a lot of conversations around how to get OpenStack deployed, how do you get it down as fast as possible. Everyone's got their own widget. Unfortunately, installing OpenStack is 1 millionth of a percent of the problem. Apparently math is hard. I think that's 1 10,000th of a percent of a problem. So really everything that is interesting happens on day two. So day two to the end. That's really where you spend all of your time working with an OpenStack cluster, managing applications on it, upgrading software on it, being able to squash vulnerabilities, be able to upgrade new code, bring new capacity online. And this really does get challenging whenever you're looking at it at scale. So again, we've deployed hundreds of customers on OpenStack, very large clouds, thousands of nodes in a single region, multiple regions with thousands of nodes total. And so the challenge at that level is vastly different than what it is on a couple of nodes. So trying to figure out how to put new OpenStack code on a cloud that's a couple of nodes big is not that challenging.  I mean, it's not the ideal way of doing it, but you can get by that way. Whenever you're trying to figure out how do I patch a vulnerability across a cluster of 1,000 nodes, that really becomes challenging and interesting. This is fleet management. So today I believe is the operator summit as well. There's a large operator talk happening.  If you're also facing similar challenges, I highly recommend you go get involved with that. There's lots of large companies running lots of large clouds trying to solve these problems. At Rackspace, we run one of the biggest public clouds based on OpenStack, so we do have a history of managing these type of challenges. But I do highly suggest going and checking out some of the fleet management. Once you start trying to figure out how do I apply a patch across a 1,000 host, or how do I upgrade a part of OpenStack without taking down all the other parts. The next thing once you get past that is really about how do I take all of the data that's flying around in my cloud and put it to use. I've got all these events that happen. I've got instance bootups, volume attaches, network creates and deletes. In addition to that, you also have just a bunch of different components that are all reporting and sending data or having events happen to them. Being able to collect that is a problem. Being able to visualize it and do anything useful with it is a really big problem. One good example of that is really around capacity management. So whenever you are operating a cloud at scale, being able to handle new workloads coming online and really making sure that your cloud is not a bottleneck for the innovation of the rest of your company is a challenge. One thing that we find is that a lot of clouds are built as general purpose clouds. So almost every single customer, whenever they start down the road of I want to deploy and opens that cloud, they've got a couple of applications that they're specifically talking about. They may be Greenfield, they may be new applications that they're rewriting. And so they might have some idea of the workload that they're bringing on. So it's performance characteristics, how it behaves. Is it network dense? Is it CPU dense? Is it high memory? Does it require high IO? But a lot of times beyond that, there's a thousand apps that are gonna be brought onto this platform over the next couple of years that almost no company has a good sense for what that's gonna do to their cloud. And so up front, they try not to spend a lot of time optimizing the cloud for those workloads because it's all unknown. And so you don't know what style of compute hosts you might need, what kind of network saturation on devices that you might need given all these workloads that have yet to materialize on your cloud. So we end up building them as almost all general purpose. So it fits, it does what it's supposed to do and it works, but it's not highly optimized for any application stack. What you need to be able to do is collect all the data that's flying across the system, be able to see all the events, see all the usage of your environment, and then be able to start predicting for workloads and classifying them and be able to start bringing online capacity that meets those needs.  And these might need huge memory instances inside of your virtualized instances, or you might need a lot of IO, right? They may be doing number crunching, so they do job processing, check out a bunch of data, do a lot of computation on it so your CPU bound and disk bound and then file it back.  The second one is being able to take that data and inform those decisions. So be able to actually watch what's happening on your cloud whenever you're bringing applications on and new workloads are coming on and being able to in real time react to those and hopefully in a predictive way, be able to provide capacity before it becomes a problem and before it comes a bottleneck. The last thing on this is that really that those workloads characteristics do change over time, right? So you might start out with a couple applications that are front end web applications or they're records of engagement, systems of engagement I believe is the right term. And so those might behave in a certain way, you can scale them in a certain way, the capacity restraints behave appropriately with that type of application. But over time as you start bringing on databases those start to look different as you start bringing on big data environments, those start to have different performance characteristics, like you might need to be increasing network throughput to your storage system, you might have a heavy sender case that you didn't anticipate when you started. So being able to kind of capture that data and be able to plan accordingly for as those workloads come on is very important. Another key issue that we see in operations is really around multiple system integration.  So everyone's familiar with SOA or the new version microservices. OpenStack tends to function the same way. Almost no task is accomplished by any single service.  To spin up an instance, right? You might interact with Keystone to get the auth and then you make the request to Nova. Nova has to go and schedule reservations. You might also be preloading sender volumes whenever you directly boot. You have to interact with sender and then you also have to provision your networking. So you're crossing four or five boundaries right there. In any scenario where things fail, we find inside of OpenStack that those failures are almost always related to some other service than the one that you generally see the symptom. So as an example, whenever you're booting a VM, let's say that it fails to boot. The symptom is Nova's having a problem. But most of the time, it's not necessarily Nova. It could be. But it also could be Nova is trying to interact with Neutron to get network reservations and there is something wonky happening inside of the auth system that's preventing Neutron from properly accepting a request from Nova. And so this is a real challenge whenever you're looking at any of these distinct systems and being able to aggregate the data across all those systems and come to a root cause. We see that in most scenarios, whenever we're running these cluster customers and we're reacting to issues, it almost always is another dependent system. And being able to aggregate all those data from all the disparate systems into a system where you can quickly visualize a cross and react to that data is a big challenge. So being able to pull all of that data into one place and perform a root cause so that you can quickly get back to bringing your service back online is really a large part of the operational task. And then OpenStack also has its own infrastructure. So OpenStack is providing infrastructure to your users. It also relies on some infrastructure. So being able to tie back across to, say, a Galera MariaDB problem or a RabbitMQ cluster problem, these really are cloud hygiene. Being able to keep your cluster healthy. I cannot tell you how many times in the middle of a firefight we've found out that Rabbit is really the slowdown. So it's not anything actually failing but maybe we have a queue that's getting clogged or we have a bunch of data that hasn't been pulled off the queue and processing time is now taking a while. And so we're starting to see timeouts or race conditions because of that. Being able to visualize all of the distinct OpenStack service data in line with the actual infrastructure behind it and be able to see all of that in one place and be able to draw a root cause off of that is the big part of operations. So we have App Formix on stage with us. We're gonna go through a couple scenarios and show where App Formix actually helps in this operator capacity.  Say a customer's calling in with VM slowness. Now you have to kind of backtrack through the system and figure out what's causing that problem. You've been given a single data point. You have a Nova UUID and it's slow. How do you fix that problem for your customers? Let's say that the marketing team is getting ready to launch an event or the Oprah effect is gonna happen. Being able to go past just project quotas and answer very simple questions of do I actually have enough capacity in my cluster right this second to be able to handle this incoming spike that I'm anticipating. Another one that we see quite a bit is badly crafted flavors. I know that a lot of times whenever you're looking at bringing applications from a legacy environment into OpenStack, some of the teams will be used to the way that they've built bare metal machines and will continue to build VMs the same way. And so we've all seen the 256 gig RAM instance with a terabyte of hard drive space because that's what the database used to look like that they ran Oracle on. This really messes up a lot of your oversubscription calculations and the way that you've planned out how many units you can put on a different compute host and so all of a sudden I've planned to be able to stack 20 VMs on each compute host and that's how I've provisioned all my capacity and now I'm able to put one or two on. So I've just taken a 10th of my capacity out. And then lastly being able to put together SLA's and policies in place where you can start to, as you've gone through scenarios, be able to say this is a leading indicator, this is a performance metric that is a key indicator for these type of problems and be able to get pre alarms letting you know that these scenarios are coming up not once they've happened. So it's a proactive instead of a reactive model. So instead of something is on fire knowing that there's a guy pouring gasoline and has a match standing next to the building and being able to stop him before he lights it on fire. And so Travis is gonna demo a couple of these scenarios for you. Thank you, Justin. So this is the part when I ask you to turn off your wifi as a sacrifice to the demo gods. Just kidding, but we are gonna do a live demo here of App Formix running on top of OpenStack and helping you manage it. What you see at the very first screen here is in the snapshot of your infrastructure and it gives you a high level of view of what's going on in both virtual and the physical layers. You have your hosts, you get an indicator of whether the host is meeting the SLA that you've defined in a policy.  And right at the top of the stack you can see that certain instances are at risk and that means they're not meeting the SLA that you have defined. Now going into the scenario that Justin described a user might call you up and say, suddenly Mongo seems like it's performing poorly. And they tell you the project name. So we have a search bar where you can quickly find resources inside your OpenStack environment, be it an instance, be it a project, be it a host, you type it in, you can quickly navigate to the project. And what we're seeing here now is an overview of this project's allocations and resource utilization. At the top you get a snapshot of what the project has allocated, the number of instances that are running, the number of ECPUs, the amount of memory across the infrastructure, as well as all instances and the hosts on which they are running. You can expand and look at the resource utilization of a particular instance and get a snapshot of its CPU, its memory, its disk IO, and network IO. In this case we're looking for the problem and we clearly see there's something red here. It says that the CPU usage is above 90%. This is violating an SLA policy that the users put in place. What we want to find out is why, right? And so we can navigate to that instance and look at what's going on inside of it. Our agent collects these resources by running on the physical host. It does not put in any kind of agent inside the guest of your tenant. So we're able to collect these from outside of the VM and provide visibility into the infrastructure at both the VM and the physical layer. We can see here that in this case the CPU is pegged on this instance. So this is likely a problem the user needs to take a look at inside their VM. But what's interesting is that the problem could have been something else. It could have been a noisy neighbor running on their host. And we can now navigate, instead of the virtual world where we were at a project and we saw the instances that were running, we can actually find out on which host this instance is running. It's running here on this host named ACE32. And we can navigate back out to a view where we can see all the things that are happening on that physical host. And from here, we could find things like if there was a noisy neighbor happening where a certain VM is maybe using a lot of disk or a lot of memory. And that could be causing slowdown for another project that's co-hosted on top of this same physical node. So that's a quick snapshot of how you can troubleshoot and how the Appformix provides cross-layer visibility of both virtual and physical resources. The next kind of scenario I'm gonna talk about is around capacity planning. And we talk about the idea of maybe bringing on a new application or you're planning for a large event and you need more capacity than your quota might allow. A user could come to an operator and say, I'd like to increase my quota, I wanna bring up 20 more instances for this new application. The operator needs to know, do I have capacity in my infrastructure to satisfy that request? You can't just give out quota and have it start impacting everyone when the user spins up 20 instances and now all the services across your infrastructure are running more slowly. So bring up this planning tab. The operator at the top can quickly look and see across the infrastructure what the capacity is. And this is broken down by flavor. So we can see that running on this infrastructure right now there are 36 instances, six medium, there's 23 small and there's seven tiny. And these are arbitrary flavors that are defined inside of OpenStack. Each environment may have a different flavor breakdown and how their applications utilize the infrastructure. But the operator now can look at this and say, okay, do I have capacity today to bring up what the application owner wants to do? I can look and see, in this case, I only have one medium available. If I were to bring up more, give him more quota than that, he would not be able to even create the instance or I would start getting into an oversubscription situation that is not comfortable to meeting the demands of my applications. And then he can see in real time what the actual oversubscription ratio is across the infrastructure for both memory and compute. In this case, only memory is oversubscribed, but it lets you know that right now you've allocated more memory to VMs than is actually physically available by a small margin here above 6%. And the second kind of capacity question the operator needs to answer is, when do I need to buy more hardware? When do I need to add more resources to my infrastructure? When is it time to grow my data center? So you can generate reports, you can to see the trend of usage over time. And so here we're watching for basically the available capacity if it's trending to zero and you're seeing that pretty soon I'm gonna not be able to add more instances or new applications. It might be time then to buy more hardware and grow out your infrastructure so that you can meet future demands of your users. But buying new hardware is not the only way to solve that problem. And a smart operator is gonna wanna get the maximum ROI on his investment of infrastructure. So before he goes and buys, he might wanna actually find out, am I utilizing what I have right now to the maximum of its capacity? And for that, we wanna see that the actual usage matches the allocation, right? Justin talked about the flavor sizing and whether you actually have the right size flavor. And sometimes the users don't know or they've abandoned certain applications, right? They may have spun up five instances that are now kind of occupying your infrastructure but actually using zero, right? And so it's preventing you from putting new applications on top of your hardware but just because they're squatting effectively. And so if we look at the reporting page that we provide here, I'm quickly gonna show you a graphical snapshot of the report and then go into more detail on the data. So quickly we provide you with on a per project basis, how many instances are in that project over the reporting period that you wanna look at and then some of the detailed utilization. So in this case, here where there's the VM CPU utilization, this is a histogram. And what it shows is that for this project, 25 of the 36 instances or 37 instances in the project, we're using zero to 20% CPU over this time period. So they're relatively inactive and we can see that similarly correlates in disk usage and memory usage. So this is probably a good indicator that maybe this user has the wrong size flavors or they have too many instances and they could consolidate some of their applications. So we can drill into the detailed data and we can sort it. So we can look and say, okay, let me look at the instance CPU. I see that some of these instances are very active, they're near capacity but down at the bottom, there's and I can sort this in the other direction so it's faster and easier. I can see that some of these instances are really just using zero, they're not using any CPU at all. So it might be time to call up that user and say, how are you using these instances? Do they still need to be around in our infrastructure? Because as a company, AWS is happy to let you have idle instances on their infrastructure and keep collecting the paycheck. But as an enterprise, you don't want to just be sitting around paying for someone to do nothing on your hardware when someone else could be using it. And that's really part of the responsibility of the operator to efficiently manage their infrastructure inside the enterprise. And finally, what I've been showing you is a very interactive experience on the App Formix dashboard to find problems, do reports and capacity planning and drill into data that is being collected throughout your infrastructure. But operators don't want to sit on a dashboard all day long, right? And they're not able to do that. And it's really nowadays it's about automation and it's about being able to set policies and alarms so that you're notified when conditions occur and hopefully predictively and ahead of time so that you can solve the problem before it becomes one. So to that end, we allow you to do a set policy for what we call health and risk. So for example, right here, we have a host risk policy, right? So the risk is kind of like a predictive measure of when something is going to become a problem for you and maybe violating the SLA you wanna provide to your users. So inside this profile, you can select a number of rules. I'm just gonna delete it right now and create a new one so you can kind of get a sense. There's some predefined rules here that have already been added. I can select any of those that I want to be part of this profile. In this case, the profile says that when any of these rules match, I want to be notified and mark it at risk. And you can add your own rules because every environment is different. So every operator has a different threshold for when something is considered hot and when there might be a problem. You might want to, in this case, you can actually say like I wanna monitor hosts or I wanna monitor instances. If I wanna monitor a host, I can limit it to a certain aggregate. So we have a customer, for instance, that partitions their infrastructure in compute nodes for sort of general purpose and compute nodes for their Hadoop workloads. So they might have those in an aggregate and you could apply this policy. And so if I wanna generate an alert, I can notify of across CPU memory disk. We evaluate when disks are going to go bad. We evaluate when a heartbeat has failed. So you can find these problems ahead of time. We evaluate the normalized load so you can watch the demand on a single host. And this becomes a policy for an alarm. So this will apply to any host inside your infrastructure that is part of the Hadoop host aggregate. And again, some of this is not, this is a great way to visually show you guys in the demo, but in reality, you don't wanna be hand entering rules. Nowadays, it's all about infrastructure as code. You have to have a reproducible environment. You have to have a manageable environment that you can modify. So what I wanna show you right now is the fact that all of these things can be configured via API. So instead of configuring that new alarm and that policy inside the UI, I just kinda wanna briefly show you what it looks like. This is a JSON file. Hopefully you can read the font there that what I'm gonna set up is that for this aggregate, I wanna watch when the Hadoop aggregate, this happens to be the ID inside our system for that aggregate. I looked it up ahead of time. And the metric, I wanna look at memory usage. I wanna know when the average memory usage is above 85% over a 15 second window, right? If it's being sustained for that long, maybe I wanna be alerted that on these hosts, that maybe I need to take a look and see what's going on. So I'm gonna issue a command here, REST API, it's gonna send out a asynchronous request to configure this policy. And then now I'll show it to you inside our dashboard, what's going on. So let's go to this host here, Ace97. It's part of the host aggregate that's the Hadoop aggregate. If we take a look at what's going on inside its resources here, we will see that the, well, or we won't. That is the demo. So let me just give you a moment there. Did not sacrifice enough chickens. Didn't, did not configure, so unfortunately. Well, I will just happen to show you the rest of the demo as if I configure this rule by hand. That's a little bit faster. Unfortunately, I don't know why my API failed me. So we can walk through the experience you would see on the dashboard again. If I want the average over a 15 second window to be above 85%, we do have some advanced features that allow you to kind of threshold across multiple intervals and as well as integrate with notification engines like PagerDuty or Slack. I'm gonna skip those for now. We do see this now that the alarm is in learning state. So for that first 15 seconds, we're gathering data. This alarm has actually been pushed out to that physical node where the agent is running and all the evaluation for these rules is happening in a distributed fashion at the point of collection. And that allows us to do very fine grained metric analysis over very small periods of time without pushing data throughout your network, without requiring you to have a large infrastructure just to support your alarms and policy enforcement. In this case, it's moved to inactive state. If we take a look, you can see that that's because the memory usage in this node is about 67%. But again, that rule was a policy. And so now, if I look at all my hosts, if I wanna add a new host, for instance, maybe this one here, ACE32, if a new host becomes part of that host aggregate, then the policy will automatically be applied. So I don't need to, every time I bring a new host and add and expand my infrastructure, go and program hosts individually. So I'm going to take this host and add it to the Hadoop group. And automatically inside the Alarms panel here, you can see that the alarm that we configured has been automatically applied to the host. It's gone into learning mode. After 15 seconds, we'll find out whether it's active or inactive, and the system will again, continue monitoring this in real time. And pushing events all the way up from the physical layer to the central location where we log the events and broadcast them to the dashboard. So in this case, the alert is active. And as an operator, you can go and look and see, okay, I can see that the memory usage down here is 85% for this host. It's actually throttling between the two, so I'll probably expect that alarm to be right coming and going. So thanks, Travis. So hopefully, there was a couple of ways you can see how you can visualize some of this data and actually make use of the data. I will say one thing that you did hit when I was thinking about there is you're showing the actual real utilization of, say, CPU on your cluster. I was talking to the customer pretty recently where they had a corporate policy that oversubscription was kind of a forbidden thing. I mean, you can't actually oversubscribe memory or CPU. And in order to size their cluster appropriately, you had to double or triple the number of compute hosts just to satisfy a non-oversubscribed CPU. And you could take a tool like that and be able to actually have the conversation and say, I know that you don't like this, but based off of the actual workloads that you're running, you would benefit greatly from oversubscription turning it on and tuning it to, say, a two-to-one subscription rate. And now you can double your capacity without having to spend an extra dime if you'll just relax this requirement that you had. And here's, based on the data, like, unvaluable, we can't really argue the data. I know that you have a feeling on you don't like it, but here's the data saying it's okay. So that's kind of an interesting point that I just thought about. So, rex-based cantina. We'll be around all week, second in Trinity.  They cover all sorts of topics, not just this, networking, monitoring. We have a bunch of book signings. We've got the guy that literally wrote the book on Neutron, we've got operator's handbooks, they'll be doing that.  And so, come by and say hi to us as well, and thank you all for coming out. Yeah, thank you. I'll throw in that that Formax is also in the marketplace. We have a booth, so we'd love for you to come and join us as well. And ask those questions, come see it in detail if you'd like to see more of what we do. Do you have any questions for us? Thank you.


I wanted to start this video with a question.  Because for me, it has to be this Dragon Ball Z mod with over 70 characters from just about everything. And what better way to see all these random characters than to go through another random tournament with my friend Rhymesel, and see who can get a win first. Rhyme, please close your eyes. I have a whole list of characters, some wacky ones we didn't see the last time we did a tournament like this. I'm hoping for some new stars. Last time people really liked Billie Eilish. Let's really mix them, let's really mix them. Okay. Go to random. You want me to just random it up? Go to random. Random. Oh, okay, okay. You got a character I'm very familiar with from random. Okay, okay. Is it a good character, bad character? Is it a zany character? What am I gonna get? Not so much zany, different big IP. Okay, wait, hold on. You might know him as the former world tournament finale holder. The first question I have for you is, what inspired a title of this video? Where am I? Where am I? Right there. Boom, you're Sasuke versus, oh no.  Bro, wait, random into Sasuke. Wait, who am I fighting? Who is this? I think that's just random select a man. I don't even think, that's not a randomly selected person, is it? I don't know. I don't remember.  Let it build up, let it build up, let it build up. Uh-oh. Is that Goku? Uh-oh. It's Goku, it's Goku. Bro, I don't know if that's Goku, man. It's not Goku's hair.  Oh no, it's random select. Bro, he's just a question mark. Do you know what this is? I look like an exclamation point. I can be, oh! Boom! Damn! Fight back, they got random select as a whole man. Oh boy, what? He's fast. He is, what is this? Bro, he's showing off his speed feats to you. Oh, you got. I got speed two. There you go, nice combo.  I don't know, what is it? He's beating me with, what is he beating me with? I don't know, he's not even doing anything. What's happening? None of these moves make sense. I don't know, am I dead? Wait, wait, wait. How long the cutscene is that? Where am I? Amaterasu, yes, the unending flame, bro. You got him. Nevermind. Ha ha ha ha! Oh, damn! Throwing stunting on you. Yeah. Nice fire style, that almost won you the game. Yeah. Nice attack. It's over. What? Nice attack to make for men? End it. Oh God, oh God. Yes, okay. Anyways, I was never worried. I was never worried. You won round one, bro. Damn, his 3D model actually looks pretty good here. You can't kind of charge me a little bit. I feel like my character got, I'll be a little charged. Bro, I feel like, I mean, he was definitely going at you. Oh, brother, here comes the, I feel like out of all the characters, this game definitely has favorites. Like Aries is definitely a huge favorite. I feel like I see Aries in every single tournament. Like, bro, go home. Go, just leave, bro. Go back to your own game.  All right, watch this. I know what to do. I'm gonna hit him with the unending flame, right? Like, free one. A little Amaterasu, a little Amaterasu for him. Ooh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He lost. Damn, Chinori?  That was sick, bro. They got everything for Sasuke and you have a limited key. I just realized that I have a limited key. Why does he shake his fist like that?  I'm gonna just get these run-up on him. Why did you not get a ring out? There's a lot of them on fire. Hey, little fire style, that's pretty good. I love that you have infinite key for you. That's great. That's great. Yeah, why not just spam fire style? Why not? I mean, surely. Damn, damn. Fire style. Damn, he was running for it. Embarrassing. He really didn't try to run.  Bro was definitely about to run to the judge, but could somebody get the key out of his pocket? Like, what's going on? Bro was about to start begging the spectators to throw him a weapon or something.  Look, I said this and I'll be saying yours. If Roblox beats me, you and I are doing Roblox with us for a week. Oh, my God, a week? A week. I don't even know what there is to do on Roblox for a week. The editor will cut this part out, but the thing about Roblox is this kind of content makes millions of dollars on YouTube. We're going to the rich. Oh, throw, throw. Let me find out we do a Roblox video in bangs and then you just see a bunch of Roblox videos on the channel. I'd just be a Roblox YouTuber, bro. I'll admit that to everybody watching right now. If it made me millions of dollars, I would put everything I love and I would do Roblox videos. So I run and like that. Oh, that was a gut buster, bro. That actually hurt. Why did that actually hurt? Look at the laid out. Oh, bro, you skedaddling like that found me. I don't know. I don't know if that was like a narther run so much as that was like a Fred Flintstone in a panic. I'm still just on the Roblox thing. If you ever see a multiple set of Roblox videos uploaded on your channel, you know exactly what happened. You know I was making money. You got to just accept the, you got to respect the grind and hustle at that point. I can't wait. That's what I'm saying, bro. I feel like I lost. Well, who was it? I lost. The original Super Saiyan God, I don't. Yamoshi? We Google this guy after the announced Battle of Gods. It's Yamoshi? It's not Yamoshi. It's Super Saiyan God to go through the original form. Oh. But can he stop? Outrasu. Can he stop unlimited fire style?  Damn, well, he's putting that means on you now.   This is like no damage. You're fine. No damage. Just because you have a million heads.  Bro, you laugh at the way I say Saiyan, bro. That's how it looks like Sasuke is saying it. Or do Amaterasu again? Saiyans. Bro, why he clenched his fist and raised like that? I know what he's thinking here. He's not winning this. Oh, you win that easy. Saiyans. Saiyans.   I realize why they have a what? Whoa. Whoa. Why are you cheating? Cheating? Cheating? You're running yourself out, bro. Cheating? What? You dived on the wall. Bro, can we get a judge as he's two people? He's literally two dudes. Bro, he's literally two dudes in a trench coat.  Bro, you hit him so hard that he changed his clothes into Dragon Ball Heroes Super Saiyan 4. I had to lose here on purpose because if Sasuke fought Sasuke, if Sasuke fought Sasuke, it would be a paradox, a quack-quack paradox, and then we'll just ruin the 12 videos. So just step back. Watch this. Watch, watch, watch, watch. Be in the needle. Dotto, I have a request for you in this one. You can open your eyes. All right, my eyes are open. What's the request? Who am I playing as? You have to win by transforming first these characters. You can't just do a bring out. Why does Scooby-Doo with mischievous like that? I don't want you to look, just get one blast gauge, and then transform. There's a surprise, there's a surprise, surprise, surprise. Wait, I'm transforming? Yeah, you have to transform. Do you still have destruction? You have to get like one blast gauge first, hit the stick down, and then transform. Okay, I can do that. You can last up. Bro, look at me. I'm Scooby-Doo God of Destruction versus some form of Vegeta, bro. I don't even know. First.  Why did that take all your power? What happened? I don't know, I'm, I'm chill. No worries, it doesn't, it doesn't track. Oh, he is scaring me, man. What am I just lying around? I'm like, did you hear me? Why am I, why am I? Bro, why am I trying to- Transform, transform. Are you transformed? There is no transformation.  Let me try. Maybe the characters were like, just under that same, oh, I see what it is. Okay, we got it, got it, got it, got it. Ah. Kienzan? Kienzan. That's not Kienzan. Okay. Damn. Damn. All right, 33K for that. Bro, bro, he lost his whole shirt. Actually, maybe it wasn't my own shirt. Stop. Whee. What? I saw Shaggy and Velma. I'm like, oh, you can transform with them? Oh, Windus, Windus, Windus. Beamclap. Windus, Windus, Windus. I can't win. I taught you better than that. Backflip. What?  First of all, you lost the key clash. You know what? You're going to get bullied in the comments, number one. Number two. Bro, it just wasn't fair to me that I didn't even have the time, bro. I was mashing buttons, I forgot. No, you got spin to stick, not mash. I know, bro, the quality of life improvement. Get back in line, get back in line, get back in line. I got you, I got you. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, I found the characters. And I didn't just find it, bro. I found the gold, mindado. I found the gold, mindado.  OK, go ahead, tap in, tap in, tap in, tap in. Who am I playing as? What am I doing here? I need a win. I gave me the strongest character in fiction. Bro, I don't even know who that is. That's just anime girl number seven to me. That's Toru. You put some respect in Toru's name. All right, what are my powers? What am I doing here?  OK, I can do that. You can cut your tail off and cook it, and then it's delicious. No porbelia, la iglesia nunca. See the tail? Anyway, over the, oh, help me. That is quite a big tail, though. I will admit, though. That's like dragon land. Damn, that's a huge tail. Did she cut, did your tail get cut off? Hyper energy.  No, no, no. It's hiding under my dress or whatever. Deal. Oh, pretty good move, pretty good move. No, dude, that was so fast, right? Or is my eyes just lagging? You're fighting Zeno. Bro, but that was like crazy fat. My tail is gone. Do not lose it. First of all, it'll grow back. Number two, you cannot lose as, bro. It's unblockable. Help me. You're fine, fine. Help me. I'm, oh, I'm dead. All right, I guess I'll take the fourth one. Actually, you know what? One more, one more, one more, one more, one more, one more. I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got. Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust. Did you know that move was instantaneous and also unblockable? All right, Dotto, I gave you literally the best character in the old man behind here. Really? What, what am I looking at? Oh, you are looking at an easy victory and definitely something that people would want to click if they saw it in the thumbnail, perhaps. You're probably not going to be in the thumbnail because you know, I'd be too much. But like, what is that? That is Android 18. Is that Android 18? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Android, Jesus Christ. That's going to have to get censored a little bit probably. No, you're fine, you're fine. It's nothing wrong with that. That was graphic. What? You never seen the bunny girl outfit. Bro, the outfit is fine, but there was protruding elements. See, the model's fine. The model's fine.  He's ex, bro, why is he excited?  I like how is Android 18 even playable? Oh, I thought I thought I wrung him out. Is Android 18 even playable normally? Or is this the only playable version heard this game now? Wait, can I charge? It's an Android, so I don't think so. Oh, look at that stance, bro. I look like Goku in the prime. OK, never mind. Bro, stop. Why is it that the bots get turned up like eight levels of difficulty? They're playing crazy. I forgot to tell you that Mordekai was threatened to be fired before this fight. Oh, brother. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I'm sending this aspect to the unemployment line. Hand him the McDonald's application. Let's go. Great. Now you have to show cancel. Genson, follow that.  Bro, too bad. Get the apology video. Get Coco ready. Get the apology video. You got to apologize next week. But I have to worry about this penguin or Madagascar, bro. It's just the penguin you got. Just the penguin? Do you have any idea how good this guy is with prep time? Look at him floating in.   Bro, watch this. It's a penguin, bro. It's just a penguin. Why are you going so hard? Yeah, too bad. Never mind. Because this is why, bro. Did you know he sniped like, oh, no. No way. No way I'm going to get done in by a penguin.   He's finding a way, though. Where is he going? He's going so fast I couldn't even see him. Oh, my god. Look, did you see the grab range commando pro user? He grabbed him. He would have stopped. They have a couple of step, step, step. There you go, there you go.  Bro, don't run for me. Do your ultimate. I will. Oh, that's not going to stop me. Watch this. High-speed rush. That maybe would have killed me. Oh, no, if you fall off the game. Perfect Android barrier. Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap. Rush. Always getting a jump. 17, where you at? 17, where you at? Oh, this is just me. That's illegal, bro. That's illegal. It's just a penguin, bro. Why are you going so hard? Boom, man. It's just a bird. Bro can even fly. No. You thought I was going to get rung out, huh? I like how that ultimate, by the way, that Android 18 just did, is basically what you're doing if you refuse to cut the plastic you get around the bottles. That's basically what we do. That was sick. You got styled on.  That's our planet, man. One tear just rained down Deon's face. We heard that. Hey, look, who's Black Power Ranger? Who's that? Black Power Ranger? It's just empty. Wait, let me see. It's just empty. Oh, wow. Is that a glitch? Like that box is coming off. I hope he wins against Roblox so we can see who that is. Bro, oh, you know who that is? That's probably the little invisible ant that knocked Pickle out of a turner. That's a pretty funny joke. That's a pretty funny joke. Oh, you might lose here, too. Nah, I'm good. This is a OC, bro. You lost. No, you think it's an OC? No, this is real. You don't remember when Boo absorbed Genemba times 16? This is so it's OC, bro. You lost. This is not OC, bro. Look, that's Tori on the design. So I'm going to hit. Yeah?  Doubt. Get shot like a million times. It was 10. But yeah, half. Oh my God. I'm just going to go for the ring out here. I don't like his tail because this tail pops out the wrong way. It looks like it's big. Wait, what? Because this tail is so large. It like pokes through the bottom of his torso. What you talking about, tail? Oh, he does have a tail. You got to shut it off because that's weird. Bro is loving that. I am childish. Win. I am going to win. But first, I've got to kick him while he's down, Oh, I don't ever ring anybody up before I can kick them while they're down. Boom. Bam Break his arm sweeping on the ground tossing I But watch this you gotta win this. I oh my god. I want to see the ants. You want to see that invisible ant?  Don't How did he dodge I'm getting angry I'm gonna knock him out, but you make it sound like that's just a day job, bro This is Majin Buu after absorbing Jannem, but the king of evil bro. I'm right there with the follow-ups But I'm losing on the health game.  Oh, no, you know This game decided idea to just make it so Andrews can't charge. Oh wait. You actually doing good Die Yeah, bro, they really were like the androids have unlimited keys So we should replicate that feeling in the show by making it so they have no key What are you even talking about? You're getting close to dying man.  Let me get right out here Nah, real awkward you fly so far and it just breaks the map Nah, I wouldn't have them first. I should be that alright Okay Surely I have the health lead right surely I got the health lead after another all to me. Hold on. Let me kick him L2 up sir. Let me see. I did but I didn't I felt my energy course Did you hear the thump would hit the wall? Why was that so loud? But I did because he probably hurt his spine. Oh The ant actually won no way bro. No way. I'm gonna have to fight against an invisible man Something about this is just the key was I'm just coming at it. No What is happening?  He's short. Oh My god, what am I getting grabbed by bro?

It's pretty easy Well, I'm just I'm just oh I don't I'm just thankfully the game auto locks me on if I didn't have auto lock on I'd be Why do you look like you if you were to take a hd I'm crying bro looks like Krillin.

This is stopping noramy tweet sonic is faster than goap when death is bro I literally will right now right right. I like really right now Uh, okay now here's the game we're gonna play how long until fiddle response to that I would give it like three minutes.

Would you say that the reason why hearts won is because his heart was in the fight and mine wasn't And I meant in the video that was lame


RBTs may not practice with new client populations about proper training and oversight. Now the RBT is going to cover a decent amount and you'll get a few more additional training pieces the longer you work. So without proper training it's kind of like a, if it's a special case, the BCBA will tell you to go get trained in something. But this general training you're receiving now is going to cover a lot of the clients that we work with, which is why it's the standard. So at this point the BCBA should be there to guide you in the things you need to know and the things you need to do to work with the client and guide you to get you going. That's all about what 3.04 is.
