from Tavern on the Green in Central Park, New York. It's theCUBE, covering Veritas Vision Solution Day. Brought to you by Veritas. Welcome to New York City, everybody. We're here in the heart of Central Park at the beautiful location, Tavern on the Green. You're watching theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage. It is our special coverage of the Veritas Solutions Day. Hashtag is Vitas Vision. Veritas Vision last year was a big tent customer event, several thousand customers at that event. And Veritas decided this year to go out to the field. 20 of these solution days, very intimate events, a couple hundred customers, keynote presentations from Veritas, breakout sessions, getting deep into the product, but also talking strategy and intimate conversations with executives, CXOs, CIOs, backup admins. And of course, New York City is one of those places where you get very advanced customers, pushing the envelope, very demanding. I often joke there is demanding as New York sports fans. And so, they have high expectations and, but they also have a lot of money. And so, the vendor community loves to come to New York. They love to get intimate with these customers in New York, as do we at theCUBE. So we're going to be talking to customers today. We're going to be talking to executives of Veritas and partners. So I want to talk a little bit about what's going on in the marketplace in this backup and recovery space. It's transforming quite dramatically. For those of you who follow theCUBE, you know last year at VMworld, last two years actually, data protection was one of the hottest topics at the event. Of course, multi-cloud. Of course, there was a lot of AI talk and containers and Kubernetes, but stayed old backup. You know, old reliable data protection was one of the hottest topics. We're seeing VC money pour into the space. We're seeing upstarts like Cohesity and Rubrik trying to take aim at the incumbents, like Veritas and Commvault and IBM and Dell EMC. And so those traditional companies, those enterprise companies that have large install bases are trying to hold onto that install base and migrate their platforms to a modern, software-defined platform, API-based, using containers, using microservices, building on top of the code that they've developed, simplifying the UI, and at the same time, allowing for an abstraction layer across clouds and multi-clouds. So what are the big drivers that are really pushing the trends, the mega trends of this space? Well, certainly digital transformation is one of them. The last 10 years of big data, people have gathered all this data and now that data is in place and people are now applying machine intelligence to that data. They're doing a lot of this work in the cloud. So digital transformation, data, big data, cloud, multi-cloud, simplification, people want a much simpler experience. So bringing the cloud experience to their data wherever the data might live. Because of course you've got the three laws of cloud. You've got the law of physics, right? If physics says you can't just shove everything into the cloud, it just takes too long. If I have a big bog of data, if I have a petted byte of data, you know how long that's going to take to put into the cloud. So I may not just move it in there unless I stick it on a Chevy truck and cart it over on a bunch of tapes and nobody really wants to do that. So there's the law of physics. There's also the law of economics. It's very expensive to move that data. You need a lot of network bandwidth. So you might not necessarily put everything into the cloud. You might keep stuff on-prem. And then of course there's the law of the land. And the law of the land says, well, if I'm in country X, let's say Germany, that data can't leave that country. It's got to be physically proximate inside the boundaries, the borders of that country by local laws. So these three laws are something that was put forth to us by Pat Gelsinger on theCUBE at VMworld this year. We've evolved that thinking, but it's very true when we talk to customers about this. These are trends that are driving their decisions about cloud and multi-cloud and where to put it. We've talked in theCUBE about the stat that the average enterprise has eight clouds. Well, we're a small enterprise and we have eight clouds. So I think that number is actually much, much higher, especially when you include SAS. So lots of data, lots of copies of data. So you need a way to abstract all that complexity and have a single place to protect your data. Now a big part of this digital transformation is driving more intense requirements on recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives. RPO and RTO, what do those words mean? Recovery point objective, think about, ask a business person, how much data are you willing to lose? And they'll go, oh, what are you talking about? I don't want to lose any data.  And if they have to spend millions and millions of dollars to do that, they might relax that requirement a little bit. They might say, well, if I lose 15 minutes of data in any given time and have to recreate it, not the end of the world. So that's what RPO is, is essentially the point in time that you're going to recover and how much data loss you're exposed to. And the way this works is you take, let's say, snapshots to simplify the equation, you push those offsite away from any potential disaster. And it's that gap between when you actually capture the data and when that disaster might happen that you're exposed. So to make that as close as zero as possible, that gap as close as zero as possible, is very, very expensive. So a lot of companies don't want to do that. At the same time, digital transformations pushing them to get as close to zero as possible without breaking the bank. The other part of that equation is recovery time objective, how long it takes to get the application and the data back and running. And because of digital transformation, people want to make that virtually instantaneously. So because of digital transformation, people are re-architecting their data protection strategies to have near instantaneous recovery. This all fits into the mega trend of cloud. People want it to be simpler. They want it to mimic the cloud like experience, almost as if I'm on Amazon or I'm on Netflix. So simplifying the recovery process and the backup process is something that we're going to hear a lot more of. Automation is another big theme. People tend to automate through scripts. Well, scripts are fragile. Scripts tend to break. When changes are made in software, scripts tend to have to be rewritten and maintained. And so it's a very high maintenance type of activity to do scripts and over time they just fade away or they stop working. So automation through API is very, very important. Something that you're hearing is much more thematic in this world of data protection. The other is getting more out of the corpus of data in my data protection infrastructure because let's face it, backup and recovery, it's like insurance. I hope I never need it, but if I do need it, it's very valuable at that point in time that I do need it. But it's an expense. It's not driving bottom line revenue. It's not necessarily cutting cost. It is indirectly in the form of reducing the cost of downtime, but that's harder. That's kind of viewed oftentimes as a soft dollar benefit. So what you're hearing is a lot of the vendor community and the user community are talking about getting more out of the data that they have and out of the backup and recovery infrastructure by bringing analytics and machine intelligence or AI and machine learning to the equation. Studying analytics to identify anomalous behavior, maybe identifying security breaches, creating air gaps such that I can potentially thwart ransomware or other malware infections, analyzing the corpus of backup data because it's holds the call the company's corporate data, it's accessible. If you can analyze that data and look for anomalies, you might be able to thwart and attack. So getting more out of that data through analytics. Predictive maintenance is another example of data analytics that's driving some of these trends beyond just backup and recovery and also governance. So governance and privacy or security and privacy are two sides of the same coin. So with GDPR, the general data protection regulation that came out that went into effect in terms of fines going into effect this past May, very, very onerous and expensive fines. People are using their data protection corpus and the analytics around that to reduce their risk and to better govern their data. So these are some of the big trends that we're seeing. So Veritas is a leader here. We're going to be covering this all day. Veritas and some of its other brethren that have been around for decades are getting attacked by a lot of the upstarts, but they got the advantage that the installed vendors have the advantage of a large install base so the incumbent vendors have the advantage of a large install base. The upstarts have the advantage of their starting with a clean sheet of paper. We're going to talk to customers and find out, what are they thinking in terms of their backup approach? Industry data suggests that over half of the customers that you talk to are rethinking their backup strategies because of digital transformation. Well, we're going to talk to some customers. Are they thinking about sticking with Veritas? Are they thinking about migrating? Why or why not? What are some of the advantages and considerations there? So Veritas, a long rich story going back to the 80s when the company was founded was a hot IPO, really super hot company got sold to Symantec for about $13.5 billion and then Symantec spun it out to private equity several years ago and an $8 billion go private sale and subsequently Veritas got off the 90 day shot clock. We heard this from companies like Dell where they didn't have to report and get abused by the street for either missing a number or having one little metric that was off so they could write their own narrative, they could invest in R&D, they could have more patient capital. And so you saw this from the Carlisle group that took Veritas private and it's been sort of this march toward a new platform, spending money on R&D and now really going to market very aggressively. And the other thing you're going to hear about is partnerships, partnerships with AWS and some of the other cloud providers. There's a partnership that's being announced with the Flash Storage Company Pure today so we're going to dig into some of that. So we'll be here all day, tavern on the green. You're watching theCUBE and we're here in New York City. Keep it right there, we'll be right back. I'm Dave Vellante, back shortly.

Good afternoon for those of you here in Hawaii. Good evening, other places or good morning, wherever you may be. Thanks so much for joining us for this group's first session of 2022. We're venturing to step forward into a year that we hope will be better than the last two. And we'll talk a little bit about where those questions and concerns are and and what might help us go in better directions this year. We have an all star group. There's no particular reason other than chance. I'm going to start with Louise Ng, because she's the recent winner of the Daniel and no a lifetime achievement award from the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. That's a really huge important focal group and a very influential one. And so this is, this is an award that takes on a national and international significance and recognition. This is especially impressive because Louise and my experience of knowing her for most of her years has flown under the radar screen with community service with women's rights with lots of areas. The same is true for Tina Patterson, won a number of awards last year. I lost track of the names of all of them so I'm not going to try and recite them all. Our award winner is here, Rebecca Radlev also gathered a handful of awards over this past year. And that's especially impressive in times where people's disconnections and frustrations and the things that weren't coming together. I don't know what numbered those that did so recognition for positive achievement and Sandra Sims are noted author, former judge, community service leader. I mean this is just this is an amazing group of people. But I did want to take a little time to honor each and all of them for the immeasurably valuable insights, experiences and perspectives that each and all bring to the table. So recognizing that. Where do you folks think we're headed in 2022. Sandra let's start with you. I think we're headed is better than where we've been. That's the, that's how I can see things at this point, the last, you know, a couple of years I think we've all just been on this incredible roller coaster of events and and COVID up pushback and going forward and pushing back to the end the impacts that it's had on so many aspects of our of our society health care, the economy. Jobs, all those things have been affected by the last few years. So I think that at this point. What we're doing is definitely going to head to at least to me and I'm beginning to feel that is far better than me not far but certainly in a different direction than where we've been. And, and I continue to feel, you know, optimistic about that despite some of the things that are occurring. And it feels like we're doing the same things over but then there's a part of me that says no we're not. It is different things have changed so I think I'm okay. That's encouraging. I understand that I feel the same way I'm an internal optimist and no matter what I see, I believe that things can always be better, because I really do believe in the human spirit. And I believe that most people are good at their core and more good people than not. And I agree with you Sandra, the instability of jobs housing education food instability, health care, physical and mental health care, lacking in underserved communities. And the civil unrest in our country has been very unsettling on top of this pandemic that that we're all getting through all over the world, which is obviously the meaning of pandemic, which we now are hearing is endemic. I talked to a friend of mine, yesterday I got to see my friend the virologist and infectious disease doctor, Dr. Lane rolling who has been on MSNBC, and black news channel, and he said that omicron is the next is the new flu. So maybe that's what flu is. But we, you know, we are just steadily navigating these menaces, you know, all over the world and it's just, it's just been really hard and so I agree with you, we've got to look forward to better days. And let's all be part of that. Right. You know, what do you think I could take the easy out and say it's already been covered by Sandra and Rebecca, but I'll add addition to that. I think we are. We're one step closer as an organism, and I'm thinking society as a societal level to shift conversations that we began in 2020 and 2021 are starting to take shape. We're taking root. I received an email a few days ago regarding a day of a day of racial healing, which, if you had asked me five years ago, I probably would not have received. And it's, it's, it is a global effort. So I see people talking less about going back to normal, but talking about what the new normal is. So there's, there's hope. There's some sense of optimism and I would be remiss if I didn't say in the midst of all of that somewhat dying away of what's not working and recognizing it. And can we do that in a peaceful manner or does it have to be unsettling and chaotic. Louise, what's your sense. Well, I have to join my fellow panelists in holding out hope, because if I look at the daily news and listen to the daily news reports it can be so maddening and frustrating. You know as Rebecca points out just the social inequities we've been seeing that have been exacerbated by the pandemic and then the divisions in our country and, and just the, you know, the persistent. You know, the politicization of the coronavirus which you know I have seen directly with the impact on France how that just affects so many people who tried to do the right thing, you know, had to die alone for instance because they weren't like visitors in the hospital, or, you know, things like that but I have to, you know, I guess I have to, I think we all have to keep going by looking on the bright side and seeing how that how we can bring our networks and communities together to make positive changes instead of getting wallowing and just the bad stuff going on. And I think some bright spots for me were actually early December, Sandra was there but we had a table of eight women at the Ola Napua Dinner and that's an organization that helps girls who have been sexually abused and trafficked. And it was a all ages and it's range from Miss Hawaii going off to Miss America pageant to us with gray hair and someone, you know, general Susie Varis-Lam who's coming in as the first AAPI women president of East West Center.  I think we need to depend on things like that. I think Miss Hawaii went off just feeling more supported and empowered by the women there and I think we all did that, you know, there's a great next generation that's coming up. And yeah, that was wonderful. And I think the other high point recently was that we had a CEO search going on in our firm for all our US offices and now we have our first woman CEO who's also an LGBT advocate and her COO is a woman lawyer too. And so the women are firmly in charge. And I just think that that's a real message for the diverse, you know, diversification in our firm and just, you know, that these are champions that will really make sure that diversity and inclusion are baked into our culture too. So happy about those things. And what a great opportunity to have four truly exemplary women leaders who have experienced some things that would probably be insurmountable for a lot of people. I'll bet every one of you has multiple times. And to look at a pandemic that has accelerated and accentuated from a health pandemic to pandemics in almost every other sector of society, housing, employment, environment, climate, everything. And to look at that and to focus as you did so eloquently Tina, that our humanity is in our commonality as an organism, not in our division in organizations. What an amazing perception. One characteristic of the experience and perspective of women leaders. We're in the places where you most look for hope as we move for MLK day Martin Luther King Day in this country, where are the places where you most look for hope and for that organism of humanity to maybe start to regenerate and bloom and come together. Atlanta, of course, of course the birthplace of Dr. King. I wrote I wrote MLK and then you said it. So, as usual, we're all in sync. But the King family has asked that in these in suburbs and in the city that we not do the traditional parades, but instead that organization stand together in protest of the voting. And, you know, the civil inequities that are going on around Atlanta and the state. And, and so again, I did I thought it was brilliant Tina the way you brought that together we had all had our take and then you and then you brought it together just so eloquently. There's hope, but action there there has to be action. We have to stick together we have to strategize, and we can't let up we have to do the things, say the things and be in the places where action can make impact. Excellent. I see the wheels turning for each of you. Andrew, what were you thinking about as Rebecca was, I was thinking, you know, I was thinking because I wanted to hear what Rebecca had to share, particularly, you know, coming from a place that is a center of where we look at the impact of Martin Luther King's life. And of course, we're having that here as well I think the president of our local end of ACP is called for a day and devoted to doing some service projects and he's listed some of those that people can engage in. As a way of recognizing this, this legacy where this, you know, having to come back and still talk about voting rights though is troubling. It's troubling. And I'm, I'm, I'm hopeful that when we make this focal point on voting rights again, and making certain that those voting rights are not taken away I think when we've seen also much of the rhetoric and argument regarding this election is fast election and so many of the falsities and some of the lies that have come up about that that are actually becoming ingrained in some sectors of the society, making it more imperative that we continue with this push on voting rights I think that's going to be really, really important. I also think that because of this group I think so many each of us is, you know, involved in our own sphere of, you know, organizations I know I'm very active with, you know, with links and with serotonous all of those organizations are taking instances on have always taken stances on these issues that are facing us the African American Lawyers Association. Same thing we just had a recent visit with Keith Ellison. And that was a program that we open to the entire community and he spoke about the role, the role of the prosecutor in in the deployed case and his work process. And that was attended by, you know, quite a few folks that are outside of the African American Lawyers Association we made it open. And that's still being again part of what we're doing to keep these issues in the forefront to keep those discussions going and I think what we're doing is, as you know this group you guys are you're some amazing folks. I go back to that dinner I had with Louise and that. Oh my God, I still just kind of reveling in that time where we have women from various sectors, all engaged all involved, all continually working to, you know, address these so many issues that we have from so many perspectives. And that is just so that is encouraging and I think that's kind of what we're continuing to do and be involved in so yeah, yeah Louise is actually quite amazing. She really is to bring that kind of a group together was, and we all sat there in amazement that we didn't all know each other, all of us before then. And we're all friends. And that's an important reference to Keith Ellison. For those viewers who aren't aware is the African American Attorney General of the state of Minnesota who personally took the leadership in the investigation, development and prosecution of the Chauvin George Floyd murder case, and shepherded in ways that he took great pains to describe with fantastic attention to detail and justice and accuracy and truth to a successful conclusion that was based on getting all the truth out there, not just pieces of it, but enough of it to overcome the innuendo, the disinformation, the other things that continue to work in some areas. As we've seen with some other recent trials, unfortunately. So Tina, where do we go from here that looks constructive and helpful to you. I was kind of hoping you'd call on the lease like follow up after her. Where do I look, I'm looking into areas, I'm looking at service. And we've all mentioned it, but it's the service that we that we see organizationally, whether it's our optimist, the links. I know today that there's historically African American fraternities and sororities that have been involved in getting the word out regarding voting, but I'm going to take it on a an even more micro level. I know in my jurisdiction, we were concerned about making sure that people had access to COVID tests at home, COVID tests, because pharmacies were saying they did not have them. And so we went to one of my favorite places, libraries. And so individuals needed the home test could get the test at the library. They just needed to come take a maximum of two, two home tests with them and somebody say, well, it's just two tests, but it's two tests that you probably would not have had access to. And one site within one day 93,000 tests were gone. But I also think my hope also lies with the scientific community. 18 months ago, 24 months ago, at home tests didn't exist. And just seeing how the scientific community is advancing at a rate that I won't call it exponential, but it's moving so quickly that then the stories keep changing, the news keeps changing. In some ways, people find it laughable. But for me, it gives me hope that this is something that we know that people are working on around the clock. So that as a colleague of mine who's a physician she said, Tina, there may be a day when COVID becomes like the common cold and it's just something that you have with your body will address it. And it gives me hope that we have leaders who are making this happen. And we have people who are voting with their choices. And as one friend put it, he said, you know, vaccinations are a vote to and we're now approaching two thirds of the population that can get vaccinated, getting themselves in their families vaccinated. And maybe because vaccination has been so politicized together with masks and testing and other things. Maybe that's a good sign that there is a ground swell at the human level at the organism level at the public health and safety level that notwithstanding a Supreme Court justices refusal to wear a mask next to his colleagues, one of whom is a compromised immune system having diabetes and others compromised in other ways that people are making choices, even after their politicized that reflect putting the collective well being and health first. So Louise, where are you looking for change that might be good for us. Well, when you first mentioned that and I guess I'm like Tina and everybody I'm looking at the macro and the micro level, because we only have control over what's at the micro level and I suppose, yeah, more community involvement I think more support through donations or otherwise community groups that are really helping to make a difference in families lives, but also, you know, I'm getting constantly bombarded by political candidates but I do think it is important for us to support our public servants who are trying to do the right thing.  Is that and maybe, you know, despite the all the efforts to make people not be critical thinkers and not think about race theory and all of these other things. We really need to be critical thinkers and teach our kids that because just reading the news is just too depressing. And, you know, exactly as Tina says they pick up on all the bad things rather than kind of looking at the overall trends and where science is going in the progress we have made you know the good things that are happening because of the scientists, you know, trying to take a rational evidence based approach to dealing with this virus. So, those are my thoughts. And maybe that's a stronger and broader and deeper place to look for hope for 2022 and beyond is at that human community, even individual and family and level. It's not going to come from our leadership in any of the sectors whether it's legislative judicial executive or other one. But the question is going to be whether the people take back control of the important choices in this country. I think so. This is going to be a challenging year for that. It's going to have to be we the people. And as Louise and Tina were speaking I was thinking about service here in Atlanta we among the divine nine sororities and fraternities we say that King day, Martin Luther King junior day is not a day off but a day on. And that it that speaks to the service that we're committed to do as as organization at the organizational level. But of course it starts with the heart of a servant at the individual level and that's that's that's how you get the organism that Tina is speaking of is all of the different components that that make up the people and the groups and the missions that that those people and groups will execute on and that that's how we'll make a difference and we just have to keep trying. And that's an important insight because coming back to where all of you have touched upon and Louise kind of crystallized for us. Well, it was Reverend King that was in the spotlight. We know that when he was taken unexpectedly and tragically from us that the one who truly stepped up and brought things together and held them together. He was the one who had been doing that for years who was current his widow and still does. And she's still a beacon, a luminary, and more have risen up in all sectors.  And this is a very well educated young person who's got a lot of years of leadership ahead of her. As does Stacy Abrams and look what she was able to do. Oh my God. Oh my goodness. Talking about a beacon. It's amazing your city, or your state. Yes, I've had the pleasure of meeting her amazing just this oozing with, I was gonna say the energy that comes on on television and that energy comes forth so clearly in so many ways and there's the there's the connection, and there's the commitment. And of course, she knows what she's doing she knows how to reach people she connects and mobilize. I'm sorry let me just calm down but she really does inspire me. And I commend to your her fiction book or mystery, while justice sleeps. It's a wonderful book. I just finished it. Yeah, and so I think you're right, Chuck, there's the, you know, the, what has happened as ever since those times that you've seen this emergence of these incredible young leaders, and so many women are among those leaders that are stepping forth it wasn't just about one but I know and I and there is in different spheres to it isn't just limited to, you know, the areas of politics who seeing it and you're seeking in the arts, you're seeing it in, in, in, in music you're seeing it in so many of our lives and we didn't always focus on doing civil rights era but this these are the, these are the, this that part when you talk about, you know, being hopeful those are the things I think that are really really going to make this difference as we move forward. So everybody has their role, we just lost Sidney Poitier and what a lot of people didn't know about him was that he and I'm sure I don't know all the names but Harry Bellafonte and Sidney Poitier were two people who stayed in the background and made money. Well, I mean I had the pleasure I'm in Atlanta so this is, you know, the Civil Rights History Museum is walking around, but so I've had the pleasure of hearing Ambassador Andrew Young talk about how when Harry Bellafonte and Sidney Poitier wanted to get involved in the Civil Rights Walks and everything they were like no we need you to stay on the screen, and to make money because we're going to need you to help get some of these people out of jail. That's what they did. Yes, that's what they did. That's what they did. Yes.  That's right. Everyone has a role. I watched in the heat of the night this weekend because just to look at it again, you know, from that perspective, you know, with him being gone. And what struck me was I didn't realize that movie was done in 1968. And that was not a time of, you know, so much advancement as we are now. It was a very, and for him, and then watching him and watching Rod Reiner, not Rod Reiner, but anyway, watching him take the stances and act out the parts that they did in that time was so powerful. I mean, his role, he and Rod Steiger were just so powerful in those, in that time that was such a critical time for that kind of expression was probably unheard of before that messaging, and then the slap. Oh man. The slap heard round the world. We didn't rehearse that, did we? We didn't rehearse that, Sandra. I heard that wasn't even in the script that he decided. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he insisted that if he was going to get slapped, it had to go back the other way. And the moment was just, and you think this happened in 1968. Whoa. This is what he stood for.   I think we need a Sidney Putty film festival just hearing the tributes to him in his movies. Yeah. Kantena and I come over for that. That's a good idea because we're having to, we had to postpone the African American Film Festival until, and this will be the 10th year, actually last year was the 10th year. postpone it, but that might be something to look at. Let me tell you what we're doing, I think in August this year. Okay, that would be a great body. Great idea, Louise. I think I'll mention that to Taylor and see what she thinks about it. Yeah, I like that. Especially since I can just walk there. It's just block away, but I have to, I have to thank this panel for giving me my reading list and Heather Cox Richardson. It's just a great way of putting things together. I keep wanting to send everybody her, her, you know, her commentary. And then I did start listening to the warmth of other sons. What an interesting book that is. Yeah. Fantastic. So we're out of time for today. But I want it again just to thank all of you on the table, exactly the courage, the character, the conscience and the spirit that we're all going to need to take 2022, where we needed to go to become that organic humanity that you folks have talked about and exemplify. Thank you all come back in a couple of weeks. Join us again. Thanks for your inspiration. Take good care.


His novel along the border lies won the pen award His spoken word poem Brown Dreams has been viewed on YouTube a hundred thousand times. Please welcome Paul S. Boyd When I was nine years old My mother decided to marry a man with a red beard Abuelo Enrique said Never trust a man with a beard. He could be hiding something Cortez had a beard and you remember what happened to Cuauhtemoc, don't you? I kept looking for signs of insincerity, but only found my stepfather's Viking grin Was a staple of his old-time personality. He loved drinking Jack Daniels Tooling around on his 1946 Roadster more than me or my mother Four years later, we left the trim suburbs for a two-bedroom apartment Chef Boyd Rd and coin laundry on Sunday.  I had a feeling that some Some prophecies are self-fulfilling. I guess my mother found out the ugly truth about the bearded Viking But decided to let me figure out what type of a man I would become what I choose to grow a beard or not My own father was a phantom a wannabe philosopher Who only called when he was inspired? He wrote dense letters packed like cigarettes with epistemology that burned my image of a man into an ashtray He was not an Indian, but he still couldn't grow a beard or a bank account to save his life One day your acquaintances might only be the people who serve you drinks You will smell like old newspaper and damp corduroy You will only be held to account by the poetic solitudes of your fatherless insecurities Except now you have a son He wants to walk More like run hallway to the door back and forth, but he is not yet one so his kneecaps are still developing So he falls and bangs his head on the hardwood floor Howling at the pain and the fright of falling as if I could fool him out of his tears My son is looking at me like I'm a bully something inside me tells me he's right You see I could be gone gone Looking to find myself The man I was supposed to be gone looking out for number one Gone looking for God gone to write my solitary adventure corner stack of dog-eared books Pot of cold coffee Cigarette smoke and sandwich meat. Yeah, I could grow a beard Tell myself that this is what sacrifice and personal freedom really look like but I want my son To trust the traits I carry. I want to pick him up from that howling place I Want him to sympathize and Understand what dignity in the place of pride what? Responsibility in the place of attitude. What a macho really looks like so then I kiss his hands and I kiss his knees And I kiss his feet So he knows men Can be trusted not to leave To my father showed up one night To pick me up from my grandmother's house Take me to the drive-in movie It was a humid summer evening alcohol My father's car crackled over the gravel lot of the drive-in we parked next to the short pole with a gray metal speaker attached My father's thick pale wrist reaches through the half-rolled window Cigarette dangling from his lips a beer between his legs Unlatches the speaker from the pole Attaches it to the driver's side window My father takes a sip of his mykolobe and the movie sparks to life sound of fighting fills the car and Bruce Lee appears on the screen battling Kung Fu Challengers and corrupt Chinese masters enter the dragon The first movie I saw with bloody violence and naked women the first movie I Saw with my father. I was seven years old I hadn't seen him in a couple years. So I didn't say much the entire night Hardly moved in my seat never asked for candy or popcorn or soda Not because I was afraid to ask my father, but because the movie was so intense My experience riveted by Bruce Lee the man in the car next to me emanating some power in his seat My father the movie my father the man my father the myth my father the focus the swagger The dance the speedy power. I couldn't peel my eyes for two hours And my father just sipped his beer He smoked his cigarette He cackled every once in a while what a badass Bruce Lee was When it's over my father drives me back to my grandparents house. It's late and just before he drops me off. He asked me What'd you think of the movie?  She said I won't forgive him for taking a seven-year-old to an all-rated movie It's one of the greatest examples of character. He ever gave me the flying fists the sweet science the long stare the violent dance the labyrinth of mirrors the Self-like water flow the game inside the game the teacher and the pupil the philosophy What was silent in the father? Speaks in the Sun Didn't I feel unloved already? Before I knew what love Didn't I feel unloved already? Before I knew what love Love no one likes to deal with the broken heart Rather shoot yourself sometimes knowing it's gone broken from the inside family is broken from the inside Not what you dreamed it would be Children won't see you in bed together anymore. No anticipated family vacations no long Anniversary example no family heirlooms to pass down to grandchildren no family photos Divorce is one child's crisis means the other is either the reason or must be part of the solution come together now like forced interdependence Single parenting feels like raising a ghost family sometimes not what you dreamed it would be Broken from the inside out like someone poked a tiny hole in your balloon from the inside out a slow deflation a slow spinning chamber a slow death and you will cry No one likes to deal with the broken heart Ready to attach yourself to any pretty woman with a kind voice Someone to sleep on the cold side of the bed and cradle your broken dreams at her breast the ghost in you Invites her embrace the ghost in you invites her embrace La Giorona baptizes you in tears because she also carries old wounds Nobody is clean and free of heartbreak. Nobody escapes the past isn't everybody Wounded isn't every relationship an effect of the one before Didn't my father leave me didn't he break my heart first? Didn't I feel unloved already? Before I knew what love What didn't I feel unloved already for I knew what love love No one likes to deal With a broken heart leaving my children with their mother Whenever I go out of town is a stress. I Expect any minute to receive a call Your daughter won't stop crying your son is sick. I can't handle it I can't do this on my own So though I earn a living on the road in the theater as a writer a performer I have children whose safety is compromised by my absence When the mother struggles to take care of them I Had doubts about choosing to be a professional artist and a father when she told me the way I was trying to make money hurt my ability to take care of my family. I should find a new line of work You're not good enough. She said Find a real job with insurance And just writing your spare time What could I say? But you won't have much spare time because I'm going to Puerto Rico for six weeks On vacation and I'm leaving you with the kids Sorry, but I had to use your credit card to buy the ticket I'll leave next month We still be My empire of fog crowned hills Through webs of electric munilines that tang of fills roasted coffee grinds Scorched breath of San Francisco poets transmits passion of Ginsberg Kaufman, de Prima devotion of its exotics its unions, legacy of Vargas Herrera Cervantes its rituals and gangster politics Its rituals and gangster politics where a dancer can steal your heart and hold it for ransom in a gallery named crucible steel This muse this muse this muse Not just an obsession.

See the next objective is to introduce a systematic scheme by which we can formalize elementary row operations, okay towards that I will discuss the notion of elementary matrices and some of their properties. You will see that in the next lecture this will culminate in a complete theoretical understanding of the solutions of a system of linear equations homogenous or otherwise. But before that I will make a quick review of matrix multiplication. I suppose all of you know what matrix multiplication is, how it is to be done. I will make a very quick review and then move on to the topic of today's discussion, okay. Discussing elementary the so called elementary matrices and where do they come in this discussion on elementary row operations, okay. So matrix multiplication is what I would like to discuss first very quickly. Let us say I have two real matrices A and B. I have two matrices let me give these orders like this A is R m cross n, B is R l cross p, okay these are given to us then the product is defined. The product A B is defined only if n equal to l, okay and in this case if you call the product as C, C equal to A B this matrix is of order m cross p, okay this all of us are aware of I am sure. This is a rather peculiar way of multiplying two objects, okay. What I would like to do is to write down the formula for the ijth entry of the product that is what we will need today. If C ij is ijth entry of C then what is the formula for C ij? Is there a volunteer formula for C ij? See I am asking you not the determinant, I am asking you the ijth entry of the product. Summation K equals 1 to what? Okay this is how the product is defined that is if you write down the matrices fully then you will know that the ijth entry of the product is the product dot product of two vectors, dot product of the ith row of A and the jth column of B, dot product of the ith row of A and the jth column of B that is C ij, okay. Now this is you can take this as a definition of the product then what can be verified I am going to leave this as an exercise for you. What can be verified is that the product is associative whenever it is defined, okay that is if AB and BC are defined then AB into C is A into BC, product is associative, matrix product is associative, it is also distributive over addition that is if you have A into B plus C if this is defined then this will be equal to AB plus EC, okay product is distributive over addition. The product is peculiar I mentioned let me give you one or two instances of it is peculiarity, it is quite possible that the product AB is defined but BA is not defined, you can construct simple examples show that the product AB is defined but BA is not defined even if AB and BA are defined they could be of different orders, they could be of different orders for example you take A2 by 3, B3 by 2 then AB is 2 by 2, BA is 3 by 3 they could be of different orders even if the orders are the same AB is in general different from BA, AB is in general different from BA even if the orders are the same, okay you can give an example for each of these for each of these illustrations. Finally it could also happen that AB is the 0 matrix it could happen that the product is 0 without either of the factors being 0, okay it could happen that the product of 2 matrices is 0 without any of the factors being equal to 0, we must have studied in algebra 0 divisors, okay there are 0 divisors if you look at the binary operation as the product of matrices then there are 0 divisors that is it there are matrices A and B such that A not equal to 0, B not equal to 0 but the product AB is 0, okay so I have listed some of the peculiarities of matrix multiplication I think this is enough for me I will move on to the topic of today's discussion that is the concept of elementary matrices. Using the concept of elementary matrices I am going to further formalize the elementary row operations and then bring about a systematic scheme of analyzing systems of linear equations, okay what is an elementary matrix? It is a square matrix an M by M real matrix is called an elementary matrix if it can be obtained, okay it is a square matrix if it can be obtained from the M by M identity matrix, okay I start with the M by M identity matrix and then do a single elementary row operation if it can be obtained from the M by M identity matrix upon a single elementary row operation take the M by M identity matrix do a single elementary row operation on it the resulting matrix will be called an elementary matrix, okay. Let me list all the 2 by 2 elementary matrices okay you will see that there are only 5 possibilities see remember this is upon a single elementary row operation not a sequence, okay example the set of all the 2 by 2 elementary matrices I want to write down all these there are 5 in number, okay you will see that these are the only 5 0 1 1 0 interchange of the 2 rows of the identity matrix take the 1st row that is 1 0 alpha 0 0 1 multiplying a row by a non-zero constant, multiplying the 1st row by a non-zero constant similarly multiplying the 2nd row by a non-zero constant, okay 3 possibilities replace a row by constant times another row plus the row that I started with yes I have replaced the 1st row by 1st row plus alpha times a 2nd row a similar operation for the 2nd row the 1st row remains as it is 2nd row will be alpha 1, okay so these are all the elementary matrices of order to precisely 5 of them, okay in number, okay elementary matrices have a special property that they are invertible, okay so before I discuss this particular property of an elementary matrix let me go to the notion of inverse of a matrix, okay maybe I should do something else before that what is the effect of elementary matrix has been obtained by a single elementary row operation on the identity matrix, okay how is this related to an elementary row operation being performed on a single matrix A let me first discuss that I want to discuss the following this is the importance of introducing an elementary matrix take an elementary row operation perform this elementary row operation on the matrix A, okay I am given a matrix A and an elementary row operation I perform this elementary row operation on the matrix A the effect of this the resultant matrix which is row equivalent to A is the same as pre-multiplying the elementary matrix corresponding to this elementary operation by A, is that clear? E capital E equals small E of y means that I am doing this elementary row operation on the identity matrix of order M I get an elementary matrix I am calling that as E pre-multiply this matrix E with A then I get another matrix this matrix is the same as performing the particular elementary row operation E on the matrix A, okay so performing elementary row operations is effectively pre-multiplying the matrix A by elementary matrices this is an important observation, okay let us first prove this and then look at the consequences again out of the three operations I will discuss only one operation the other two are simple so I will discuss the case when you replace a row by a row plus a constant times another row and show that this formula holds in that case the other two you could treat them as exercises. So I need to prove this, okay is that clear what this theorem says pre-multiplying for example this could be used in a program matrix multiplication is easily done by computers so one could think of a sequence of elementary row operations as multiplying the matrix pre-multiplying the matrix A by a sequence of elementary matrices, okay. So let us see how the proof goes I will move in here for the proof, okay so I have two matrices one on the left one on the right I need to show that these two coincide I will show that the corresponding entries coincide two matrices are equal if their corresponding entries are the same I will show that so this is the claim then claim to show that EA IJ IJ centre of EA is the same as small E of A IJ centre then it would follow that these two matrices are the same, okay. For this I need the formula for the product and also what capital E is what is capital E capital E is do say for me E is for me E is the operation replace row S by row S plus alpha times row T this is my operation, okay E corresponds to this operation I will prove this result for this case the other two are similar simpler so I want to write down the matrix E I will write E ik because that is what I will need here I want the formula for E ik just tell me if this formula is correct for I not equal to S say I am doing this particular elementary row operation on the identity matrix so take the identity matrix look at the S throw replace S throw by S throw plus alpha times T throw all other entries are left as they are so if I is not equal to S it is the same as the entries of the identity matrix for the identity matrix there is a special notation the Kronecker delta notation delta IJ delta IJ this is equal to 1 if I is equal to J 0 if I is not equal to J I am looking at the entries other than the S throw so can you see that this is E ik so that S delta ik when I is not equal to S it is the same entry as the identity matrix that I started with that entry is delta ik if I is equal to S what is the formula S throw delta sk plus alpha times delta Tk is that no there is yeah this is fine E ik is this, okay so I will use this definition of E ik and then use the definition of matrix multiplication and then see what this left hand side is it will turn out to be what you have on the right hand side so let us do matrix multiplication to verify this equality so I want the IJ the entry of Ea, okay that is I am writing down the formula summation k equals 1 to m see capital E has is of order m cross m remember this must be a square matrix and in order to pre-multiply with A the order of E must be m by m A is m cross m k equal to 1 to m E ik Ak J this is the formula for the product the IJ entry of the product now since E ik has the split formula I will write like this summation k equals 1 to m for I not sorry for I equals S summation k equal to 1 to m I will have to substitute this formula delta sk plus alpha times delta Tk into Ak J if I is equal to S it is summation k equals 1 to m delta ik Ak J if I is not equal to S I just substitute the formula for capital E ik the ik entry of capital E expand and simplify this is summation k equals 1 to m delta sk Ak J plus alpha delta Tk Ak J if I is equal to S and look at this now this is delta ik Ak J k is a running index k is a running index I and J have been fixed I throw jth column entry is what I am trying to calculate I and J are fixed k is a running index k takes the value 1 to m I varies between 1 to between 1 and m so when k takes the value I this will be 1 all other entries are 0 okay so remember that k is a summation running index I and J are fixed so when k equals I so this has only one term that corresponds to k equals I when k equals I it is delta I I A I J I not equal to S let us complete the bracket here okay a similar thing we need to apply for the first part so let me give that here for the first part it is summation k equals 1 to m I will right away simplify delta sk Ak J k is a running index when k takes a value S it is 1 all the other terms are 0 corresponding to the first term so when k takes the value S it is delta SS so the first term here reduces to delta SS ASJ plus the second term when k takes a value T it is 1 all the other terms are 0 alpha times k takes a value T delta T T A T J this is when I is equal to S and delta I I is 1 so this is A I J if I is not equal to S I hope this is clear this simplifies to delta SS is 1 ASJ plus delta T T T T is 1 alpha A T J this when I is equal to S it is A I J when I is not equal to S but you see that this is precisely the definition of E of A where E is this operation the S throw is replaced by S throw plus alpha times a T throw all the other entries are the same so this is the I J th entry of E of A okay so these two matrices are the same so performing an elementary row operation on a matrix has the same effect as pre multiplying the given matrix by a particular elementary matrix this elementary matrix is obtained from the identity matrix by applying this particular elementary row operation on the identity matrix single elementary row operation okay so what does this tell you about row equivalent matrices okay that is what we will see next what we will see is the following given two matrices A and B what we would like to show is that then B is row equivalent to A you will see that this is the consequence of the previous theorem B is row equivalent to A if and only if B equals P times A where this time P is not a single matrix it is a sequence okay so this P is a product by which I mean a finite product where P is a product of elementary matrices P is a product of elementary matrices if I do a single elementary row operation and get B from A then this P will be an elementary matrix otherwise it is a product of a finite product of elementary matrices okay. Now you will see that this will be useful later also there are certain things that are preserved by elementary row operations in the case of a square matrix for instance we will look at certain numbers the determinant the rank the inverse etc one could calculate the inverse we will show by using elementary row operations we will show that certain numbers like the determinant the rank will remain the same if A and B are row equivalent okay in proving those results we will make use of this that B is a B can be written as P times A where P is a product of elementary matrices okay now there are two parts okay for this result so let us take the first one suppose B is P times A I must show that B is row equivalent to A okay suppose B is P times A where P is what I am given is that P is a product of elementary matrices so let me write like this E S E S minus 1 etc E 2 E 1 B is equal to P times A where P is a product of elementary matrices we would like to show that B is row equivalent to A okay okay. What do we have B is P times A use the formula for P E S E S minus 1 etc E 2 E 1 A so let me introduce a bracket here matrix multiplication is associative so I can write this as E S E S minus 1 etc E 2 times E 1 A matrix multiplication associative that is what I have used here now look at E 1 A E 1 A by virtue of the previous theorem is row equivalent to A because E 1 is an elementary matrix and so it is an elementary row operation being performed on the single elementary operation being performed on the identity matrix by the previous theorem E 1 A is row equivalent to A okay E 1 is row equivalent to A then the next step you push E 2 again consider B equals P times A E S E S minus 1 etc E 3 E 2 E 1 A E 2 E 1 A is row equivalent to E 1 A by the previous theorem row equivalence is an equivalence relation in particular transitive it is row equivalent to A so I have E 2 E 1 A row equivalent to A okay being row equivalent to A this is the first step this is the second step proceed by induction proceeding similarly what follows is that E S E S minus 1 etc E 2 E 1 A is row equivalent to A taking one elementary matrix at a time but this left hand side E S E S minus 1 etc that is precisely B so B is row equivalent to A if B is P times A where P is a product of elementary matrices then we have shown that B is row equivalent to A I hope it is clear we must we must prove the converse it is the first part clear conversely suppose that B is row equivalent to A then B is obtained from A by a sequence of elementary row operations B is obtained from A by a sequence of elementary row operations I will call it E 1 E 2 etc E L minus 1 E L that is I am doing first E 1 on A then E 2 on E 1 A etc that is that is the first operation E 2 on E 1 A etc E L E L minus 1 here again I am making use of the fact that every elementary row operation corresponds to pre multiplying the matrix A by an elementary matrix an elementary row operation on A has the same effect as pre multiplying the matrix A by an elementary matrix that is why I get this sequence E 1 E 2 etc E L okay so first operation is E 1 I do E 1 on A so that is pre multiplying A by E 1 second is E 2 pre multiplying E 2 pre multiplying E 1 A by E 2 etc so this sequence is E L E L minus 1 E 2 E 1 A I can write this as this whole thing I will call it as P or Q so I have B equals Q A and Q is a product of elementary matrix Q is E L E L minus 1 etc E 2 E 1 which is a product of elementary matrices okay that is the second part okay so the important step to observe is that an elementary row operation on A is equivalent to pre multiplying the matrix A by an elementary matrix and I am taking this sequence of elementary matrices okay okay let us now move on to the invertibility properties of elementary matrices so I need the notion of the inverse of a matrix okay let me give the definition some of you might be aware of it I have an n cross n square matrix with real entries then this matrix A is said to have a right inverse said to have a right inverse if there exists in other matrix B of the same order as A such that right inverse I have A B equals I identity is the identity matrix of order n I on the right is the identity matrix of order n okay if there is a B that satisfies this equation then A is said to have a right inverse a left inverse is defined similarly if there exists a matrix C such that C A equals I then A is said to have a left inverse okay together if A is said to be invertible if A has a right inverse and a left inverse A is said to be invertible if A has a right inverse as well as a left inverse what we will first show is that if A has a right inverse and a left inverse then these two coincide okay if A has a left inverse and a right inverse then they must be the same so let us prove this this is easy let us write down the definition there exists B such that A B equals I that is I am considering B since A has a right inverse there exists a B that must satisfy this equation there exists C such that C A equals I so now start with B B can be written as identity times B identity is the identity matrix is the identity operation of matrix multiplication for square matrices identity times B now for this I will borrow this equation this is C A times B this is matrix multiplication is associated C times A B but A B is identity from that equation so this is C times identity that is C okay so I have made use of both the equations to conclude that if it has a right inverse and a left inverse then they must coincide. Let me also prove two more properties of invertible matrices if two matrices are invertible then their product is also invertible and a formula for the product can be given immediately the inverse of the product is the product of the inverse is taken in the reverse order okay I am going to leave this as an exercise it is easy to verify just look at the defining equations for the inverse of a matrix. For a single matrix what must be true is that you do the inverse operation twice you get back the original matrix A inverse inverse is A okay if A is invertible okay and the first property can be extended the first property I can also say that a finite product of invertible matrices is invertible finite product of invertible matrices is invertible these are easy exercises okay what is important more to what we are discussing is that every elementary matrix is invertible okay every elementary matrix is invertible okay that is what we will prove do you have a choice for the inverse of an elementary matrix E I want you to make a guess of E prime E prime will be the inverse of E yeah what is okay we are using prime for that okay. So let us define capital E prime as E prime of I E prime is a notation that I used for the inverse of E that so let me complete where E prime is the inverse of the operation E E prime is the inverse of E so when I am given E I know E prime explicitly in fact I have written down those three formulas for E prime so I know E prime explicitly so the claim is that this E prime satisfies E into E prime equals I E prime into E equals I so it is both a left inverse and the right inverse and so capital E is invertible that is every elementary matrix is invertible the proof uses composition of functions and the fact that E prime is the inverse of E so proof is already there I have to just verify this so consider E times E prime I want to show that this is equal to identity E into E prime is what this is pre multiplying the matrix E prime by the matrix E E is an elementary matrix so this corresponds to an elementary row operation so this is E of E prime do you agree pre multiplying the matrix E prime by E is performing the elementary row operation little E on capital E prime this is E of E prime definition is E prime of I small E prime of I this is composition of functions this is E circle E prime operating on I okay but E prime is the inverse of E so E circle E prime is the identity function I will call it I I of I identity function on I leaves it as it is so I have E into E prime is the identity matrix identity operation on I I get back I E prime E can be worked out similarly okay let me do that also quickly consider E prime E this is pre multiplying the matrix capital E by E prime that is performing the elementary row operation small E prime on the matrix E which is performing E prime on E the definition is E of I okay this is again composition this is E prime circle E operating on identity as before this is the identity matrix okay so what we have shown is that E prime is a right inverse as well as a left inverse so capital E is invertible that is each elementary matrix is invertible a little exercise for you at the stage find the inverses of all the 5 elementary matrices of order 2 I had written down the elementary matrices of order 2 all the 5 elementary matrices I had written down find the inverses of all these operations you only need to find the inverses of the elementary row operations okay what we would like to do next is in the next lecture is to discuss properties of elementary matrices invertibility connection to systems of equations okay I will just give the result that I would like to start with from the next on the next class. Next class I want to prove this theorem for a square matrix A for A in R n cross n the following conditions are equivalent okay this gives a connection between row equivalents elementary matrices invertible matrices condition A A is invertible condition B A is row equivalent to identity that is condition 2 A is row equivalent to the identity matrix of order n condition C A is a product of elementary matrices okay that is A is invertible if and only if A is row equivalent to I if and only if A is a product of elementary matrices okay in proving this I would make use of a little result which I will ask you now the question I will ask you you try to come up with an answer tomorrow suppose I have a row reduced echelon matrix a square row reduced echelon matrix which is invertible I have a square row reduced echelon matrix which is invertible what can you say about that matrix capital R is a row reduced echelon matrix it is square it is invertible what is R? R is equal to identity try to prove this we will make use of this result next time I will stop here.


Um, polar bears are actually black, and their fur is actually translucent, not white at all, and only appears white because it reflects visible light. I just looked up what a hairless polar bear looks like, and I'm traumatized.


He was working in the maternity ward at that time, and I was doing a clinical pastoral education. I was doing a pastoral education in Parkland. And I'll never forget how he assisted me in sharing compassion and leading parents who have just experienced tragedy through the grieving process. And we developed a friendship then. Desarriamos una amistad ahí, and I have really appreciated him, respected him, and loved him ever since. Tengo mucho respeto, la admiración y amor por él. He has served churches in Rio Grande Conference. He served churches in the North Texas Conference. Am I missing any other conferences? Just North Texas and Rio Grande. Rio Grande and North Texas. When I post pictures of him on Facebook, I have a lot of pictures of him. I often put the caption with the man, the myth, and the legend. And people always comment, you got that right. Y yo, give a welcome to our speaker of the day, the man, the myth, and the legend. Mi amigo, el tijito, el tijito, el tijito, el tijito. My friend, Isabel Chabelo Gomez, let us welcome him. Thank you. I have a great appreciation for Owen. What I remember, the conversation, the meeting that I remember most is around 2000, We were both attending a Christmas cantata or something at the Episcopal Church, and he told me that he was going to start a new church. And he was asking, trying to find out, how do you start a new church? And he said, he ran into a evangelist and asked him, how do you start a new church? And the evangelist told him, he said, three things, you got to do three things. Number one, pray. Number two, pray. Number three, pray. I remember visiting Owen when he was in the housing project, beginning that ministry, and he invited me to come and speak to the group that he was gathering at that time. As I remember, it was about ten children and about five adults. And I said, I don't know where this is going to go.  I so much admire Owen. I ran into Owen again regularly. We meet here and there a couple of months, well in December, early December, but in November, I had taken some tests. I'm sorry if I get a little sentimental here, but having some issues, los doctores me diagnosticaron que tenía cáncer y que me quedaban unos seis meses. And I was diagnosed with cancer and that I had about six months. That was back in November. And one of the doctors asked me, me preguntó la doctora, what would you like to do? Like, you know, don't wait too long, no te spared mucho tiempo. At the moment, I couldn't think of anything. I didn't want to jump out of an airplane. And I didn't want to go on a long trip, no quería ir en un viaje largo. I like to sleep in my own bed. So I don't want to do anything. After thinking a while, después de pensarlo bien, más bien, deje, you know, que, I would like to share with you, los pastores de la North Texas Conference en el Ministerio Espano, algo de la conferencia Rio Grande, porque yo amo, I love the Rio Grande Conference. I don't know what your feelings are de la conferencia North Texas. I don't know if you love the conference, pero I love the Rio Grande. The North Texas Conference, la conferencia del norte de Texas, cubre aquí Dallas alrededor. Armando Cristian Fort Worth en la central Texas. In Houston, it's called the Texas Conference. In El Paso, the Rio is the West Texas Conference. And I sinkle, there are five conferences in Texas, geographical conferences. You belong to the North Texas Conference. I belong, todo mi ministerio, to the Rio Grande Conference. The Rio Grande Conference, not geographical, no era geográfica, era una conferencia de idioma. It was a language conference. And the Rio Grande covered all of Texas and New Mexico. So the bishop de la conferencia was in San Antonio, pero a mí me tocó servir Iglesias del Nuevo México, Ticamcari, en el río, en la frontera, en El Paso, en Houston, todo en la conferencia Rio Grande. So we were spread out, estamos esparramados, sobre todo en el estado de Texas y Nuevo México. Did we keep together? How did we work together, cómo trabajamos juntos? Y una de las razones era que teníamos, where's the blue hymnal, que me da el blue hymnal? Teníamos un himnario y este era nuestro himnario. This was our hymnal in the Rio Grande Conference. All of my ministry was in the Rio Grande Conference, and this was our hymnal. So it didn't matter, you know, si estabas allá en el Paso de Texas or in Houston or in Dallas, we all sang from the same hymnal. Todo ha cambiado, ahora we don't even use hymns anymore. You know, now everything is up there. I don't know, me imagino, I imagine that every church has some hymns, and they put up on the screen. But I don't know if there's a hymnal somewhere that you can pick your Methodist hymns. The beautiful Coritos songs that we sang this morning, I don't know if they're in the hymnal. But we sang from the Methodist hymnal. Este himnario no lo produjo la Iglesia Metodista. This hymnal was not produced by the Methodist church, the leader of the Rio Grande Conference of Toda Alfredo Náñez, knew that we needed a hymnal, and he tried to get a hymnal for the Hispanic ministry, but the Methodist church wasn't able to have a hymnal for Hispanic ministries. So he had to have the Baptist, Los Vautistas, produce the first Methodist hymnal for the Rio Grande Conference. That's kind of funny. It had to be for the Baptist, but later on, the Methodist church decided, you know what, there is Hispanic ministry, and we need to recognize, reconocer, Ministerio Hispano, and we need a hymnal for the Hispanic ministry, remembering que Rio Grande was a language conference. So we worshiped in Spanish. We had to translate for the bishop so that he could understand what we were doing in the Rio Grande Conference. So I still keep in touch with people from the Rio Grande Conference. I love the Rio Grande Conference. I talk to people in El Paso, hablo con la gente del Paso, not much going on in Ministerio Hispano. I talk to people in San Antonio, not much going on in San Antonio, Ministerio Hispano. I talk to people in Houston, not much going on in Ministerio Hispano. I talk to people in Del Rio, not much going on, but in the North Texas Conference. We've got Hispanic ministry. En esta conferencia de la North Texas, el Ministerio Hispano está alive, and we'll, and I talk to Armando, Central Texas, not much going on in Central Texas, but in the North Texas, hay vida, hay obra, hay pastores, hay movimiento. That makes me very happy. Yo admiro lo que está pasando aquí en la North Texas Conference desde que hace como seis años. When did we merge about six years ago? Las iglesias se juntaron las conferencias aquí en North Texas and Texas and West Texas and Central Texas, y aquí en North Texas is donde hay más actividad en el Ministerio Hispano. Pero lo que yo quería compartir, what I wanted to share, is that before North Texas, Hispanic ministry, Rio Grande was already here. La iglesia en la cual yo me crie, church I grew up in, today we are Casa de Manuel, era Ante's Heinz, era Ante's Emanuel, was established in 1924. My church, the one that I grew up in, you know, was started in 1924, Reverendo, Genio, Vidauri, Pastor, and that's the church that I grew up. I believe, creo yo, maybe with the exception of Marta, she'll have to confirm, I'm probably the only pastor aquí que nació in Dallas. Is that right? Marta, where were you born? Here in Dallas. Yeah, I think you're the only one. So me hace sentir muy contento que ahora tenemos un grupo nuevo de pastores aquí en esta área. Apenas, well, today we're going to celebrate the Tiffany, pero apenas acabamos with Christmas. We just finished Christmas. And I believe that everybody has a Christmas story. And I want to share mine is the, let me tell you first, la gente mexicana de México, people from Mexico started moving in more regularly into Dallas around 1910. Pancho Villa was on the rampage in Mexico and people were getting out of Mexico and coming to the U.S. Y venían porque había revolución en México, pero también porque había trabajo aquí en Dallas. Y en 1910, my paternal grandparents se cruzaron en 1910 en mi amá, la familia de mi amá, en 1919, y se juntaron el barrio de los hispanos, era cerca de downtown Dallas, donde está American Airline Center. Everybody know American Airline Center? En el tiempo cuando yo, I grew up two blocks from American Airline Center. En ese tiempo esa vecindad era la más pobre en Dallas. The American Airlines site, when I grew up, was the poorest part of town. Today it's the most expensive part of town, but there's no little Mexico there anymore. Pero ahí fue donde nos creamos, nosotros, y ahí es donde se estableció la Iglesia de, en aquel entonces Heinz Boulevard Methodist Church en 1924. Todo ha cambiado. So much has changed here in Dallas and I've come to meet more de los pastores hispanos aquí. I want to tell you that I told Rosdani, I remember when we met the first time, it was in 1917, and Perkins, we had a, Perkins was having a speaker, era un DACA, a young man in his twenties I guess was a speaker, and he was telling us his story, and he started somewhere outside the United States, his family came to the U.S. and he moved to some town somewhere south of Dallas, and then he moved to Dallas, and now he was living in California. And I remember it was 17 because Hurricane Maria was going to visit Puerto Rico in a couple of days, and when I found out that Rosdani was from Puerto Rico, I said, oh my goodness, that's not good, but Rosdani wasn't worried, I thought I remember. She said, no, we'll be okay, you know, because we didn't know Hurricane Maria was going to be that hard, but anyway, as I heard the DACA student, he was born in another country, then moved to Texas, then moved to Dallas, and then he moved to California. I felt sadness, because I was born in Dallas, I grew up in Dallas, I still attend the church where I grew up in Dallas. Dallas is where, you know, hometown. So I had to ask, what do you consider your hometown? What do you consider your hometown? And you know his answer, because you all understand wherever I'm at, that was his answer. That's my hometown. So many things have changed, and I still meet monthly, mensualmente, junto con otros amigos que se crearon a little Mexico village. I still meet with them. We meet every month at Ojeras, acordándonos de cómo era el barrio in the way, you know, 50 years ago, 60 years ago. I still talk to people that went to elementary school with me. So my experience, you know, is very different than, you know, today's church in society.  And most amazing, they stayed married to the same woman all those years. So wow, you know, that's the way it used to be. But I'm sure that, you know, you're going to keep the same one. The Rio Grande Conference, ¿Qué es la Memoricía de Puerto Rico de la Conferencia? Oh my god. El diferente, la asociación es diferente con el Iglesia Monodito Unido. La Conferencia de Rio Grande, at one time, had 18,000 members. That's not a whole lot of members, but, and we were spread out 18,000, and then it started going down and down. And finally, you know, we had to merge. But even though we were not big in numbers, some really good things happened because of the Rio Grande. You know that there are three schools in Dallas named for people from the Rio Grande. Did you know that Maria Moreno, the founder of this church, has a school named Maria Moreno. Maria Moreno, que estableció esta Iglesia, ayudaba a establecer esta Iglesia, ahora tiene una escuela que, en su nombre, este, hay otra escuela que se llama Moisés Molina. Anybody know that school? Moisés Molina was a choir director, Ere Manuel. We love it, this great man, reconocido, and there's a school also named after Moisés Molina. And, todos nos conocen a Trina Garza, miembro de Buen Samaritano, Salem Wood, una escuela en el nombre de Trina Garza. I think that's pretty good. I want to tell you that you are helping people find the way to salvation, but you are also preparando gente, to be good people here in Dallas, people in the community, people that help to make this a better place. We still have a children's sermon, is there some of you have a children's sermon? But I believe that in a children's sermon we need to say, did you make good grades in school today? Were you paying attention? You know, porque la educación es tan importante para nuestros niños ahí. I want to tell you that, de la Conferencia Rio Grande, han salido tres oíspostes, 18,000, but three bishops have come out of the Rio Grande conference. Did you know that? Joel Martinez, my college mate, is a bishop, a retired bishop de la Conferencia Rio Grande. I'm sure that muchos conocen a Minerva Carcaño, bishop, civic and bishop, ahora es a bishop allá en California, y ahora comenceó en mando este roman signs, también salió de la Conferencia Rio Grande to serve como bishop de la Iglesia General. Sometimes, yo oigo a mis colegas que queremos más representación en la conferencia de los hispanos, pero en la Conferencia Rio Grande pues todos éramos hispanos, los superintendentes. But we have about at least a dozen or more personas de la Conferencia Rio Grande que llegaron a servir como staff, members de las agencias generales. On the board of missions with the discipleship. I want to mention Dalila Cruz, I don't know if anybody knows who is Dalila Cruz, pero Dalila Cruz serve as a staff member, the commission on religion and race. She worked with the women and also with the general council of ministries as associate executive secretary. So la Conferencia Rio Grande has produced people that have served the church in general all over the nation, over 18,000, but some good people came out of the Rio Grande. Out of my church Emmanuel, at least half a dozen received the call, the ministry out of my Emmanuel, at least six people answered the call to ministry including myself and my brother, Mary Lou Bard, is the Raul Quintanilla. So out of this this church, so no éramos muchos, pero some really good people that came to serve the church in general. I want to tell you my Christmas story, I believe everyone has a Christmas story. Usually the focus is on the birth of the baby Jesus and we recognize him as the savior of the world, but he wasn't actually the savior already. The birth of the savior, even though he wasn't the savior yet, but he was destined to be the savior, pero éramos el énfasis en el menio. Lego ae, the focus is like today epiphany, de los reyes magos. We also celebrate epiphany in the visit of the Magi. We can focus on that, following the star looking for the savior, all of us, but there's one person that I think gets overlooked. You remember the innkeeper? Put his innkeeper in Spanish. If it hadn't been for the innkeeper, did you ever think of that? If it hadn't been for the innkeeper, what was he going to be born? It was a family, a familia, José y María, que estaba para dar a luz. They were looking for a place to stay, but there was no place for them in the inn. Anybody ever been there? I think all of us have, but we didn't know how am I going to survive this. But there's an innkeeper somewhere that comes to provide for us. I'm going to tell you kind of a sad story that my father, my father had a number that had a lot of problems. He was a troubled man. My father was a troubled man. He was an alcoholic and he was an abuser.  Terrible.  That was a little boy like that. And my mother told me, she thought she was going to die. My mother said, I thought I was going to die. My brother suffered with him and that night she thought she was going to die. But fortunately my father passed out before he could finish the job. My mother and my mother decided that she had to get out, get away. And I still remember walking in the middle of the night, we left the house in the middle of the night, walking in the middle of the street, looking for a room, looking for a place, a sanctuary. In those days, if your daughter was with a man, she couldn't come back. Anybody remember those days? My grandmother didn't accept my mother because she had gone with my father. The only place, the only inn in town was the Wesley Community Center. Everybody knows Wesley Community Center. It's not an inn. It's not a hotel. It's a community center. And they took us in. Keeper took us in. After my mother informed me that we stayed there for a few weeks. Community centers are not supposed to do that. That's not what they're for. But Wilina Hendry, the mayor of the center, took us in. For me, she was the innkeeper. I said it was covering in a place here. I think, just my own calculation, there's at least three people in heaven. Is that right? Who's the first one? The guy that was next to Jesus on the cross, I think he's supposed to be there. And I think the second one is Wilina Hendry, the one that took us in. I'm going to tell you the third one when I finish. Community Center for the Conisa-Welina Hendry. We approached the Methodist Church and the Rio Grande Conference. I saw what came into contact with the Rio Grande Conference. Because I had no father, my mother, my mother became my father. And the church became my mother. That's where I was guided, sustained. When I was growing up, probably different from your experience in Dallas, elementary school, la primaria y la secundaria, I never had a Hispanic teacher. All of my teachers were white, Anglo. So, I grew up thinking that the smart people were white, and the others, us, we're not quite that smart, we just got to follow the, you know, them.  Is that right? You had role models. But I didn't have a role model until I came to the Rio Grande Conference. And we got a pastor. His name was Pablo Calderón. And he had been to seminary. He was educated. He was articulate. He was interesting. He was funny. He inspired me. The pastor inspired me. And I said, I want to be like him. He was a good role model.  Actually, some of them, I don't know. But because of the Legres a Metodista, I was supported, guided, went on to school. My father actually did do one good thing. He did several good things. But one good thing was that one night, we were in La Casa. And he wasn't home very much, but he came. And we were looking at some encyclopedia that we had found. And we looked up a word. When you go to college, he spoke good English. He went to high school. He said, Palavras, when you go to college, when the Vayasal Collegium went into my head, like a nail. When I got to high school, I had to fill out a registration card. And I went to closer technical high school. He had to mark college preparatory or technical. And I put college. Because the words of my papa had gone in there. And the teacher was fuller. But I took a seat back of the room. And the teacher up at the front went like this.   And she said, I think you made a mistake on your card. Yes, ma'am. What?  It's a good thing. And nobody could go how or where. Because I had no idea, but I knew I was going. The best friends I have had been blessed with were people from the Rio Grande. Past stories that, as I mentioned, I still keep in touch with. Keep in the fellowship, still serve as my community. Even now, a new community here in Trinosotros is there. I'm not here to tell you how to do ministry. I'm from another time, another place, another age. But we have some things in common. The church was going through a great change when I came into the church. The ministry, 63. The United Methodist Church was coming into existence because there were different norms. There were different changes, very large socials in the society and in the church. But I would say that today, you are going through the same thing. Our church is going through a big debate, division, different views. It's a great time. It's a good time. How are we going to navigate a way through? In the Rio Grande Conference, we have a characteristic. I'm not recommending it to you, but I'm just sharing it with you. We had a real social awareness, social consciousness. In the 70s, somewhere in the 70s, the Rio Grande Conference passed a resolution that we were in support of the farm worker movement. Anybody remember Cesar Chavez? Anybody know who is Cesar Chavez? Cesar Chavez was the chairman of the farm worker movement. Cesar Chavez spoke at our church. He was our guest speaker. He was Casa Emanuele. One of my best friends, Leonietto, worked with the Board of Missions. They had an office in New York at 475. Everybody knows what is 475. Are they still there? They're not in 475 anymore. But that was the headquarters of the La Iglesia Metodista. My pastor, Luis Fajoel Martinez, and his wife Raquel, Raquel is the editor. She's the editor that produced this seminar. Twenty-five years ago, the La Iglesia Metodista recognized that there was worship in Spanish. Unfortunately, we don't use hymns anymore. But it was for the project, the effort of the Rio Grande Conference, that we have this hymn. Various people, it was the Methodist church, different people, but led by the Rio Grande Conference. In those times, there was also the movement of the Cauques in La Iglesia Metodista. The Black Methodist Church, we knew the Asian Cauques, the Indian Cauques, and we also had the Cauques of the Spaniards, Marcha. Marcha, in great part, was the result of the Rio Grande Conference. It was established, it began to be treated and organized in San Antonio. I was in part of that group. In the year 1970, they chose me, they named me to serve as a staff member of the Church of Religion and Race. Anybody know what is the Commission on Religion and Race? The United Church had just been established in 1968, and one of the results was the Commission on Religion and Race, with a new understanding of how to deal with minority groups. And in the Commission of Religion and Race, they gave them four million dollars to distribute in minority groups projects. So, I had money, and we received proposals of projects of groups of the Church and of the community to help minority people, and in part I served to evaluate and also distribute the money, a million dollars a year. So, I was popular, all over California, Florida, Puerto Rico, to distribute money to different minority groups. So, I served for four years with Religion and Race in Washington, D.C. I served as a director of a community center in Houston for the last 15 years, as a chaplain in the Parkland Hospital. I served for 43 years in the ministry under my name. After I retired, I was looking for a pastor part-time in St. Luke's Lafille, and I had to serve there in St. Luke's Lafille for a couple of years under the authority of the North Texas Conference. So, I did serve in the North Texas Conference for a couple of years, and I love the North Texas Conference. And one of the reasons I love it, I appreciate it, is because you all have an annual retreat. You all have been to the annual retreat de los pastores. Algunos han asistido al retiro de pastores de la conferencia. Cuando teníamos retiro en la conferencia Rio Grande, we prayed and we worshiped and we did spiritual things, but we're not in the North Texas Conference. You have a good speaker, you have workshops, but you also have an afternoon free, and in that afternoon free, you can do whatever you want. You can go boating, you can go horseback riding, you can go fishing, or you can play golf. So, I play golf. And met the coach, he said he was part of the forces with Ben Shin. Anybody know Ben Shin? He's one of the best putters in the world. Oh man, he's a good putter. And I was hitting the ball, the way that ball was burning, when it landed it was smoking. We won first place in the tournament. I got a certificate for first place in the golf tournament. It was kind of a humorous certificate. It indicated that I had been in the same church too long. It was really what it said, because you had too much time to play golf. I appreciate your indulgence, your work, your service, your ministry. You know, the people that I was talking about were actually third, I'm actually third generation Rio Grande. So, those people that have become bishops and, you know, superintendents and staff members, most of them were third generation, but you were first generation in the North Texas. Someday, somebody will stand up here and say, do you remember they were the first, you're the pioneers, you are the ones that are going to be up in the first paragraph in the history of the Ministry of the North Texas Conference. You're establishing the base, you're setting the path, you're producing the leaders that are yet to come to serve the Methodist Church. I appreciate you, and I wish you every blessing that God can give you. God bless you. Thank you. I'm sorry, let me tell you the third person in heaven. Fleece it down. We are the spiritual leaders. You already know that there are some people in your congregation that are more spiritual than we are. There are some pastors, but there are people in the congregation that are more, we recognize that they have that sanctity. And I'm going to tell you about one of them. I think she's in the heaven, and I usually refer to her as la viejita. She was 80 years old. I'm 85, but I'm calling her la viejita. But anyway, I went to visit her, la viejita, and when I got to the door of Elmana Zamarrón, she greeted me. She said, gloria a dios. Sí, hermana, gloria a dios. Hermana, gloria a dios. Gloria a dios, hermana. Hermana, gloria a dios. Hermana, qué pasó, qué? Ah, hermano, gloria a dios. In those days, there were food stamps. I don't know if anybody knows, but it's food stamps. A gente que no tiene mucho dinero, el gobierno de ya es tampía, so they can buy food. And ella tenía su libro de food stamps que apenas había recibido, estaba completo. Y fue a la tienda, the first fiesta store was right there around the corner from where we used to live in Houston. Y dijo, fui a la tienda, hermano, gloria a dios. Sí, hermana, hermano, no compré muchas cosas. No. Dije, para qué voy a quebrar este libro, why am I going to break up this book? I didn't buy that much. Gloria a dios, hermana. Sí, hermana, hermano, se me olvidó mi libro de stampías allí cerca de la cajera. I left my food stamp book there by the cashier. Gloria a dios. Gloria a dios. Sí, hermana, hermano, gloria a dios. Él que se encontró ese libro, hermano, gloria a dios. El que se encontró, the one who found that my food stamp book, gloria a dios. Sí, hermana, no se lo robó, hermano, se le encontró, gloria a dios. I can do that. I don't know when to do stairs again and I lost my wallet. Gloria a dios. I think she's in heaven. What do I say to you? Gloria a dios. Amen.
