Hey everyone, welcome to theCUBE's coverage of AWS re-invent 2022. Lisa Martin here with you with Subhu Ayer, one of our alumni, who's now the CEO of Aerospy. Subhu, great to have you on the program. Thank you for joining us. Great as always to be on theCUBE, Lisa. Good to meet you. So, you know, every company these days has got to be a data company, whether it's a retailer, a manufacturer, grosser, an automotive company. But for a lot of companies, data is underutilized yet a huge asset that is value added. Why do you think companies are struggling so much to make data a value added asset? Well, you know, we see this across the board when I talk to customers and prospects, there's a desire from the business and from IT actually to leverage data to really fuel newer applications, newer services, newer business lines, if you will, for companies. I think the struggle is one, I think one, the plethora of data that is created, surveys say that over the next three years, data is going to be, you know, by 2025 around 175 zettabytes, right? 100 zettabytes of data is going to be created. And that's really a growth of north of 30% year over year. But the more important and the interesting thing is the real-time component of the data is actually growing at, you know, 35% kager. And what enterprises desire is decisions that are made in real-time or near real-time. And a lot of the challenges that do exist today is that either the infrastructure that enterprises have in place was never built to actually manipulate data in real-time. The second is really the ability to actually put something in place which can handle spikes, yet be cost efficient, if you will. So you can build for really peak loads, but then it's very expensive to operate that particular service at normal loads. So how do you build something which actually works for you for both users, so to speak? And the last point that we see out there is even if you're able to, you know, bring all that data, you don't have the processing capability to run through that data. So as a result, most enterprises struggle with one capturing the data, you know, making decisions from it in real-time and really operating it at the cost point that they need to operate it at. You know, you bring up a great point with respect to real-time data access. And I think one of the things that we've learned the last couple of years is that access to real-time data, it's not a nice to have anymore. It's business critical for organizations in any industry. Talk about that as one of the challenges that organizations are facing. Yeah, when we started Aerospike, right? When the company started, it started with the premise that data is going to grow, number one, exponentially. Two, when applications open up to the internet, there's going to be a flood of users and demands on those applications. And that was true primarily when we started the company in the ad tech vertical. So ad tech was the first vertical where there was a lot of data, both on the supply side and the demand side from an inventory of ads that were available. And on the other hand, they had like microseconds or milliseconds in which they could make a decision on which ad to put in front of you and I so that we would click or engage with that particular ad. But over the last three to five years, what we've seen is as digitization has actually permeated every industry out there, the need to harness data in real time is pretty much present in every industry, whether that's retail, whether that's financial services, telecommunications, e-commerce, gaming and entertainment, every industry has a desire. One, the innovative companies, the small companies rather are innovating at a pace and standing up new businesses to compete with the larger companies in each of these verticals. And the larger companies don't want to be left behind. So they're standing up their own competing services or getting into new lines of business that really harness and are driven by real time data. So there's compelling pressures. One, the customer experience is paramount and we as customers expect answers in an instant in real time. And on the other hand, the way they make decisions is based on a large dataset because larger datasets actually propel better decisions. So there's competing pressures here which essentially drive the need, one from a business perspective to from a customer perspective to harness all of this data in real time. So that's what's driving an incessant need to actually make decisions in real or near real time. You know, I think one of the things that's been in short supply over the last couple of years as patients, we do expect as consumers, whether we're in our business lives or personal lives that we're going to be given information and data that's relevant, it's personal to help us make those real time decisions. So having access to real time data is really business critical for organizations across any industries. Talk about some of the main capabilities that modern data applications and data platforms need to have. What are some of the key capabilities of a modern data platform that need to be delivered to meet demanding customer expectations? So, you know, going back to your initial question Lisa around why is data really a high value but underutilized or underleveraged asset? One of the reasons we see is a lot of the data platforms that, you know some of these applications were built on have been then around for a decade plus and they were never built for the needs of today which is really driving a lot of data and driving insight in real time from a lot of data. So there are four major capabilities that we see that are essential ingredients of any modern data platform. One is really the ability to operate at unlimited scale. So what we mean by that is really the ability to scale from gigabytes to even petabytes without any degradation in performance or latency or throughput. The second is really, you know, predictable performance. So can you actually deliver predictable performance as your data size grows or your throughput grows or the concurrent user on that application or service grows? It's really easy to build an application that operates at low scale or low throughput or low concurrency but performance usually starts degrading as you start scaling one of these attributes. The third thing is the ability to operate and always on globally resilient application. And that requires a really robust data platform that can be up on a five nine basis globally can support global distribution because a lot of these applications have global users. And the last point is goes back to my first answer which is can you operate all of this at a cost point which is not prohibitive but it makes sense from a TCO perspective because a lot of times what we see is people make choices of data platforms and as ironically their service or applications become more successful and more users join their journey that revenue starts going up the user base starts going up but the cost basis starts crossing over the revenue and they're losing money on the service ironically as the service becomes more popular. So really unlimited scale predictable performance always on a globally resilient basis and low TCO. These are the four essential capabilities of any modern data platform. So then talk to me with those as the four main core functionalities of a modern data platform. How does AirRespect deliver that? So we were built as I said from day one to operate at unlimited scale and deliver predictable performance. And then over the years as we work with customers we build this incredible high availability capability which helps us deliver the always on operation. So we have customers who have been on the platform 10 years with no downtime for example, right? So we are talking about an amazing continuum of high availability that we provide for customers who operate these globally resilient services. The key to our innovation here is what we call the hybrid memory architecture. So going a little bit technically deep here essentially what we built out in our architecture is the ability on each node or each server to treat a bank of SSDs or solid state devices as essentially extended memory. So you're getting memory performance but you're accessing these SSDs. You're not paying memory prices but you're getting memory performance. As a result of that, you can attach a lot more data to each node or each server in a distributed cluster. And when you kind of scale that across basically a distributed cluster, you can do with AirRespike the same things at 60 to 80% lower server count. And as a result, 60 to 80% lower TCO compared to some of the other options that are available in the market. Then basically, as I said, that's the key kind of starting point to the innovation. We layer on capabilities like replication, change data notification, synchronous, anti-synchronous replication, the ability to actually stretch a single cluster across multiple regions. So for example, if you're offering a global service, you can have a single AirRespike cluster with one node in San Francisco, one node in New York, another one in London. And this would be basically seamlessly operating so that there's a strongly consistent, very few NoSQL data platforms are strongly consistent. Or if they are strongly consistent, they will actually suffer performance degradation. And what strongly consistent means is, all your data is always available. It's guaranteed to be available. There is no data loss anytime. So in this configuration that I talked about, if the node in London goes down, your application still continues to operate, right? Your users see no kind of downtime. And when London comes up, it rejoins the cluster and everything is back to kind of the way it was before, London left the cluster, so to speak. So the ability to do this globally resilient, highly available kind of model is really, really powerful. A lot of our customers actually use that kind of a scenario. And we offer other deployment scenarios from a higher availability perspective. So everything starts with HMA or hybrid memory architecture. And then we start building out a lot of these other capabilities around the platform. And then over the years, what our customers have guided us to do is, as they're putting together modern kind of data infrastructure, we don't live in the silo. So Aerospy gets deployed with other technologies like streaming technologies or analytics technology. So we built connectors into Kafka, Pulsar, so that as you ingesting data from a variety of data sources, you can ingest them at very high ingest speeds and store them persistently into Aerospy. Once the data is in Aerospy, you can actually run Spark jobs across that data in a multi-threaded parallel fashion to get really insight from that data at really high throughput and high speed. High throughput, high speed incredibly important, especially as today's landscape is increasingly distributed. Data centers, multiple public clouds, Edge, IoT devices, the workforce embracing more and more hybrid these days. How are you helping customers to extract more value from data while also lowering costs? Go into some customer examples because I know you have some great ones. Yeah, I think we have built an amazing set of customers and the customers actually use this for some really mission critical applications. So before I get into specific customer examples, let me talk to you about some of the use cases which we see out there. We see a lot of Aerospy being used in fraud detection. We see us being used in recommendations engines. We get used in customer data profiles or customer profiles, customer 360 stores, multiplayer gaming and entertainment. These are kind of the repeated use case of digital payments. We power most of the digital payment systems across the globe. Specific example, from a specific example perspective, the first one I'd love to talk about is PayPal. So if you use PayPal today, then when you actually paying somebody, your transaction is being sent through Aerospy to really decide whether this is a fraudulent transaction or not. And when you do that, you and I as a customer not going to wait around for 10 seconds for PayPal to say yay or nay. We expect the decision to be made in an instant. So we are powering that fraud detection engine at PayPal for every transaction that goes through PayPal. Before us, PayPal was missing out on about 2% of their SLAs, which was essentially millions of dollars, which they were losing because they were letting transactions go through and taking the risk that it's not a fraudulent transaction. With Aerospy, they can now actually get a much better SLA. And the data set on which they compute the fraud score has gone up by several factors. So by 30X, if you will. So not only has the data size that is powering the fraud engine actually grown up 30X with Aerospy, but they're actually making decisions in an instant for 99.95% of their transactions. So that's what we expect as consumers, right? We want to know that there's fraud detection on the swipe, regardless of who we're interacting with. Yes. And so that's a really powerful use case. And it's a great customer, great customer success story. The other one I would talk about is really Wayfair, from retail and from e-commerce. So everybody knows Wayfair global leader in really online home furnishings. And they use us to power their recommendations engine. And it's basically, if you're purchasing this people who bought this, but also bought these five other things, so on and so forth, they have actually seen their card size at checkout go up by up to 30% as a result of actually powering their recommendations engine through Aerospy. And they were able to do this by reducing their server account by 9x. So on 1 9th of the servers that were there before Aerospy, they're now powering their recommendation engine and seeing card size checkout go up by 30%. Really, really powerful in terms of the business outcome and what we are able to drive at Wayfair. Hugely powerful as a business outcome. And that's also what the consumer wants. The consumer is expecting these days to have a very personalized, relevant experience that's going to show me, if I bought this, show me something else that's related to that. We have this expectation that needs to be really fueled by technology. Exactly. And another great example, you asked about customer stories, Adobe, who doesn't know Adobe? They are on a mission to deliver the best customer experience that they can. And they're talking about great customer 360 experience at scale, and they're modernizing their entire edge compute infrastructure to support this with Aerospy. Going to Aerospy, basically what they have seen is their throughput go up by 70%. Their cost has been reduced by 3x. So essentially doing it at 1 3rd of the cost. While their annual data growth continues at about north of 30%. So not only is their data growing, they're able to actually reduce their cost to actually deliver this great customer experience by 1 3rd to 1 3rd and continue to deliver great customer 360 experience at scale. Really, really powerful example of how you deliver customer 360 in a world which is dynamic and on a data set which is constantly growing at north of 30% in this case. These are three great examples. PayPal, Wayfair, Adobe, talking about, especially with Wayfair when you talk about increasing their cart checkout sizes, but also with Adobe, increasing throughput by over 70%, I'm looking at my notes here. While data is growing at 32%, that's something that every organization has to contend with data growth. It's continuing to scale and scale and scale. Yep, I'll give you a fun one here. So you may not have heard about this company, it's called Dream 11. And it's a company based out of India, but it's a very, it's a fun story because it's the world's largest fantasy sports platform. And India is a nation which is cricket crazy. So when they have their premier league going on, there's millions of users logged on to the Dream 11 platform building the fantasy league teams and playing on that particular platform. It has 100 million users, 100 million plus users on the platform, 5.5 million concurrent users, and they've been growing at 30%. So they are considered an amazing success story in terms of what they have accomplished and the way they've architected their platform to operate at scale. And all of that is really powered by Aerospy. Where think about that they are able to deliver all of this and support 100 million users, 5.5 million concurrent users, all with 99 plus percent of their transactions completing in less than one millisecond. Just incredible success story, not a brand that is world renowned, but at least from what we see out there, it's an amazing success story of operating at scale. Amazing success story, huge business outcomes. Last question for you as we're almost out of time is talk a little bit about Aerospy, AWS, the partnership, Graviton 2, Better Together. What are you guys doing together there? Great partnership, AWS has multiple layers in terms of partnerships. So, we engage with AWS at the executive level, they plan out really roll out of new instances in partnership with us, making sure that those instance types work well for us. And then we just released support for Aerospy on the Graviton platform. And we just announced a benchmark of Aerospy running on Graviton on AWS. And what we see out there is with the benchmark, a 1.6X improvement in price performance. And about 18% increase in throughput while maintaining a 27% reduction in cost on Graviton. So this is an amazing story from a price performance perspective, performance per watt for greater energy efficiencies, which basically a lot of our customers are starting to kind of talk to us about leveraging this to further meet their sustainability targets. So great story from Aerospy and AWS, not just from a partnership perspective on a technology and an executive level, but also in terms of what joint outcomes we are able to deliver for our customers. And it sounds like a great sustainability story. I wish we had more time to talk about this, but thank you so much for talking about the main capabilities of a modern data platform, what's needed, why, and how you guys are delivering that. We appreciate your insights and appreciate your time. Thank you very much. I mean, if folks are at green wind next week or this week, come on and see us at our booth. We are in the data and analytics pavilion. You can find us pretty easily. We'd love to talk to you. Perfect, we'll send them there. Subbu Ayer, thank you so much for joining me on the program today. We appreciate your insights. Thank you, Lisa. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE's coverage of AWS re-invent 2022. Thanks for watching.


Vaughn says, does anyone here experience the legitimate email suddenly getting into quarantine? We have been using 365 for how many years and recently all our incoming mails are going to quarantine with spam and high confidence spam tag. We never modify or add any policy. We've been using the default anti-spam policy in Microsoft Defender. Now all legitimate emails need to release and we need to monitor the quarantine from time to time. I tried bypassing the policy using the bypass spam filter to specific receiver with some incoming mails to the specific mail with rules still goes to quarantine. I need your expert advice and help. Yeah, this is one of those things where, you know, I've not changed anything. So clearly Microsoft did something or changed something or something else or just maybe just maybe somebody of importance in the office got themselves a Samsung phone, Samsung smart phones, movie mail to the junk folder. It's a little thing that Diane Perensky came up with and in spite of what all you might have or where all you might have it set if you've got one of these Samsung phones and it says send this thing to the trash. It goes to the trash and it has thrown people to all kinds of loops. I mean that's that's that's one of my little favorite site. He says that's all of a sudden moving stuff crazy and it's always it's definitely you've got a Samsung phone like well, yes, I do this article I need one of those for all of Christian's emails. One other little tip is that the classic outlook will give you a hint as to what is moving your mail. If outlook moves it will have a little burb at the bottom that says this message was marked as spam using the outlook junk email filter. If it didn't move it, the message that you get is this move message was marked as spam using a junk from filter other than the outlook junk filter and outlook doesn't know it doesn't put anything so. So that well this is the standard troubleshooting of that if you you look at like what changed the one you read the messages is how just pointed out you look at it'll tell you why it's in spam if it's if it doesn't have the message if outlook doesn't know then you look at what changed was it a Samsung device was it you know what again was there something you go look at that on the network side of Microsoft change was there an update was there something else that that changed there. But yeah I mean you just you have to get in a troubleshoot it doesn't just I mean you can't blame sunspots all the time. No but you could you could in fact blame from a provider standpoint to some ISP providers will actually have spam filters that filter out they use the DNS blacklist or the email blacklist before the mail even gets to you if you subscribe to a service like that like you know chartered was a big proponent of that so you know so that that that is a possibility but from a business standpoint that shouldn't be happening.


Greetings dear as parents, welcome to today's current affairs session on civil superior. Today we will be discussing about the important bird festivals in India and about the Daman initiative and Korsiya under our prelims topic and regarding removing the roots of farmers agrarian distress under our editorial topic. So let's move on to our first prelims topic of the day important bird festivals of India. If you see the recent current affairs that the Chilika bird festival was celebrated in the state of Odisha and the news was bird watches have flocked to the Chilika lake in order to view the festival. So the key words that you need to know when you are studying about such bird festivals are just remember the place or the state of celebration and if that particular bird festival is being celebrated for the native birds or for the migratory birds because India is also a largest heaven of migratory birds which is located in the Central Asian flyway. So all those birds that come from arctic areas near Russia or Siberia that comes and nest nest in India. So just remember those birds and just remember if there are any sanctuaries that are located near by this particular bird festival where it is being celebrated. So regarding the Chilika bird festival, so it is an annual congregation of migratory birds and it is a two day national festival that is being celebrated in the state of Odisha especially in the area of Mangala Jyoti. So as I told it lies in the Central Asian flyway for birds and just know that Nalbana bird sanctuary is located near to this Chilika lake where this bird festival is being celebrated. And the next festival that we are going to see is the Pakke Paga Hornbill Festival. So don't confuse this hornbill festival with that of the hornbill festival that is being celebrated in the state of Nagaland. So when you remember Pakke just remember Arunachal Pravesh. So it is a state festival of Arunachal Pravesh being celebrated to conserve the hornbill bird. So it also recognizes the role of the Nishi tribes which are who are located in that particular Pakke Tiger Reserve area. And if you see hornbill they are native to the eastern Himalayas which means they are located in the north eastern states and in some eastern states especially in the state of West Bengal. So the next bird festival is the Flamingo Bird Festival. So it is a three day bird festival which was held at Andhra Pradesh. If you see they celebrated this bird festival at Pulikat and Nalapattu bird sanctuaries. So the migratory birds from Ladakh, Tibet and China areas they come to this particular Pulikat and Nalapattu bird sanctuaries. And these sanctuaries are also a part of the Central Asian flyway. And the next bird festival is of high significance. And the next bird festival that is being again celebrated in the state of Andhra Pradesh is the Koringa Bird Festival. So we have Koringa Wildlife Sanctuary which is located near the Kakinada city in the state of Andhra Pradesh. So this particular festival is being organized by the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department, by the Igri Foundation and with collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund at Koringa Wildlife Sanctuary near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. If you see around 271 bird species are present in this particular sanctuary of which 95 birds are migratory birds that come every year to this particular sanctuary. So this sanctuary is also equally important along with this bird festival. And the final bird festival that we are going to see is the Amur Falcon Festival which recently initiated, this festival was a recent initiative by the state of Nagaland. So it is being celebrated at an area called Dayong, Dayong in the Boka district of Nagaland. So you need to know something about Amur Falcons. These are again migratory birds that come from the countries of Russia or near the Siberian areas. So they are known for their long travel, the longest ever travel Amur Falcon was around 22,000 kilometers. And as I told this comes from Russia, Siberia to India. So they come and stay for some time in India and they again move to Somalia, Kenya and South Africa and they travel vice versa. So this Amur Falcon festival is also of equal importance. So if they give match the following like Hornbill festival, Pakke Hornbill festival, Arunachal Pradesh, Amur Falcon festival, Nagaland. So you must be able to identify the festivals and associate them with those respective states. So this is all about the important bird festivals that you need to know. So there are some festivals named after the birds and there are some festivals named after those places like Silica bird festival or your Ninetal bird festival for example which was celebrated in 2018. And also this year they have celebrated Flamingo bird festival in 2018, Appalican bird festival was celebrated in Kholerulek in Andhra Pradesh. So there are many such bird festivals that are being conducted by the state governments across the states in every year. So let's move on to our next topic the Daman initiative. So this initiative is by the state of Odisha. So the key words that you need to know about this initiative is what is this particular initiative about and which state government is organizing it and regarding something regarding the India's malaria control program. So what is Daman initiative? Daman initiative is Durgamma Anchalare Malaria Nirakaran. So in 2012, WHO came with a test treat and track initiative for controlling the malaria. So malaria is prevalent in most of those countries that are located close to equator which have a very warm climate. So Odisha similarly came up with this comprehensive case management program in line with this WHO's test treat and track initiative. So this is a malaria control initiative. So on seeing the success of the CCMP, Odisha government started this particular Daman initiative in the year 2016. So it aims to prevent, diagnose and treat malaria and deliver services to the most inaccessible and the hardest people of the state. So this particular initiative has given impressive results to the state of Odisha. Because with the help of ASHA workers, the accredited social health activists in the year 2017, around 11 million bed nets were distributed to all those people who are located in those inaccessible parts of the state. Majorly they reside in the forest areas of the states. So because of these sustained effects, Odisha recorded 80% decline in malaria cases and the deaths only in the year 2017. So with regarding to this, you also need to know about India's malaria control program. So the major turnaround for this India's malaria control program came in the East Asia Summit of 2015, where India pledged to eliminate the malaria disease by the year 2030. So in line with this, India has launched its five year national strategic plan for malaria elimination. So now we have a move from, we have a paradigm shift from malaria control to malaria elimination. So we completely want to eliminate malaria. So the target is to end the malaria in all those 571 malaria affected districts of India out of the total 678 districts in India by the year 2022. So for this, we need around 10,000 crore funds. So this cannot be suffice completely by the central government or the state governments. So all the NGOs and the private organizations must also pitch in to help India combat this particular malaria disease. And if you see in recognition of efforts of India towards eliminating malaria. So we can see in the WHO World Malaria Report of 2018, the World Health Organization, which has recorded a 24% decrease in 2017 in malaria cases compared to the year 2016. So we can see that India's highly improved and India's malaria control program is largely country owned and country led program. So among all those 11 highly burdened countries across the world, India was the only country which saw a sufficient improvement. And you also need to know that health is a state subject. So only the central government cannot push in towards eliminating malaria across the country. It is also the state governments initiatives that help in combating this particular malaria burden, disease burden. So state governments across the country should shoulder a special responsibility in tackling the disease. So this is all you need to know about India's fight against malaria. So with prelims point of view, just know this diamond initiative is for which disease by which state government. And this will be helpful for your mains. So let's move on to our next topic, Corsia. So you need to know what is Corsia, you need to know what is carbon offsetting and regarding the India's membership in this particular Corsia agreement and something about the international civil aviation organization because it deals with something with the civil aviation sector. So the recent news is that the I8E has rebuke India on the Corsias note because India has not joined this particular Corsia agreement. But the international aviation organization wants India to join this particular Corsia agreement. So what is Corsia? Corsia is nothing but carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation. We all know that the air fuel is also a major pollutant which leads to global warming. So the air companies or this air companies consortium also wants to give something towards eliminating this particular carbon pollution. So it is basically emission mitigation approach for the global airline industry which was developed by the international civil aviation organization. So this consists of all the member nations which means all the countries of the world which operates air traffic. So this particular agreement is applicable only to the international flights. So this is basically an emission mitigation approach, nothing but carbon trading approach or emission trading approach whereby you cannot reduce the usage of your air fuel which is a major cause for pollution. Instead they have to invest in carbon offsetting technologies which is nothing but they have to invest in some other emission trading technologies where they can reduce the emissions at some other sector so that they can equate this which is nothing but your emissions trading. So these standards were adopted in the year 2016 aiming for a carbon neutral growth. But countries like India, China or Russia have not yet joined Corsair because India thinks that it is self-sufficient and because out of the five major airports of India almost four airports are carbon neutral airports and this is not going to bring a significant achievement to India by joining Corsair. So airlines will need to buy carbon offsets to compensate for their growth for carbon dioxide emissions which is nothing but your emissions trading as I explained. So these will be voluntary standards till the year 2026 post which they will become mandatory. So right now India is not willing to join and these standards would kick start from the year 2021 and India is not a member of this particular Corsair and even in this particular year 2019 we cannot see any improvement towards gaining membership in Corsair because the elections are going to come up in the month of April May 2019. So this is all you need to know about Corsair. So let us move on to our editorial topic of the day removing the roots of farmers agrarian distress. So the reason for agrarian distress has been discussed at large the problems. So they have covered three major problems and they have tried to come up with solutions for those three major problems. So the three major problems are income and price, productivity and land size. So let us discuss these three problems in detail which has been discussed by the author in the editorial. So the first topic is the income and the price. So the price plays a key role in affecting the income of the farmers. If you see the data for the last two years inflation and agriculture is lower than the overall inflation which means overall there is a price rise but there is no significant price rise in the agricultural commodities because how much ever you produce the price of a particular agricultural commodity say onion is hovering only about 15 to 20 kgs per kg and they have also taken some data economic data. So one data is the agriculture gross value added growth was projected to be at 3.8 percent for 2018-19 years at nominal and constant prices giving the price deflator at 0 percent which means they are telling that value addition in the agriculture sector will be around 3.8 percent compared to the previous year but the price is not going to increase or decrease it will remain at 0 percentage. So you can see that there is a value addition in agriculture but it is not reflecting in the prices. Only if prices are quite renumerative only then the farmers will be happy and they have also taken one more economic indicator data the consumer price index where they tell that the agriculture inflation is lesser than the overall inflation. So they have also noted that the market prices are lesser than the minimum support prices. So minimum support prices as it denotes it is a minimum price which is being indicated by the government to be renumerated to farmers but the market prices are always lesser than these MSPs. So say for a particular crop if 2500 is the minimum support price the market price will always be hovering about 1800 to 1900. So this is not quite renumerative for farmers it will just change between which means nothing but a change of fans between the intermediaries only the intermediaries are going to benefit and finally the consumer will have a price more than this 2500. So the farmers are also not being renumerated properly and the consumers will are also affected. The intermediaries in this particular agriculture commodities market are highly profited. So this particular farm distress is because of the absence of effective price support policy which is affecting the small farmers at large. You have to take the farmers into different classification with your large farmers, small farmers and marginal farmers which will be discussing in detail. So they have the authors have given some existing policies and they have also suggested some policies. So they have discussed in large about the Telangana's Ritubandu scheme and the similar income support scheme of the state of Odisha where they have told that this input support scheme is not really going to help the farmers and they have also discussed some other policies that have been proposed by the government. So second thing is the price deficiency compensation. So if the farmers are facing any price deficiency from the MSP support price which I was telling this would be compensated by the government but this is also not going to help at the long term and they have also proposed open procurement system at the MSP rates. So whenever the production exceeds the demand, production exceeds the demand, the prices are going to fall, the prices are going to fall and we also have the MSP component. So the market prices will be lesser than these MSP component. So one solution was the price deficiency compensation where the government will pay whatever deficiency in the prices or else the government would procure all those crops at the MSP rates. So which will, the both of these which would add financial burden to the government. So they have suggested limited procurement scheme. So there is a production demand if say it is 1010 and the production is 1210 for example. So until this overall production that the market requires, the overall productivity that the market requires is the 1010. So until this 200 ton, the government will support towards procuring them at a limited basis. So this is called the limited procurement. So the market requirement is 1000 tons and the production demand will also reduce to 1000 tons. So those excess 200 tons will be procured by the government which is nothing but the limited procurement. So this will be helpful for both the farmers and also for the government. From the government side it will reduce the financial burden for the farmers also the prices would be remunerative because they did not sell every entire crop to the government out to some market dealer. So continued procurement until the market prices equals the MSP. So this is the concept behind the limited procurement. So the government can sell the procured grain in later years or use them in the welfare scheme. So it is up to the government to consume those excess 200 tons that has been procured by the government from the farmers. So apart from this there are also some of the sustainable solutions that have been suggested by the authors. One thing was the limited procurement scheme in the short and the medium term. At the long term the markets have to be sustainable. For this the market has to go enhance reforms in order to enable the better market price discovery. So this market should be competitive. It should be stable and it should be a unified national market. And along with this they have also suggested that the government should have long term trade policies favorable to exports which means they should have some bilateral ties with all those countries that lastly require India's excess crop. So this should be a long term trade policy. And why we need a market reform that has been discussed by the authors. So we have inefficient physical operations at presence and there is an excessive crowding of intermediaries as I told how the price shoots where it is not a remunerative for both the farmers and the consumers. And the market chains are highly fragmented because only the state governments are taking care of the marketing of these agricultural commodities. There is no proper linking between the agricultural markets of different states. And if you see they have proposed that this agriculture should not only focus on forming it should focus the entire value chain. So it has to transform itself from only a farming limited agriculture to a value chain perspective of agriculture which will include your entire supply chain that includes logistics your seeds and other agricultural inputs and your entire market the wholesale, retail, etc. So this was discussed by the authors in terms of income and price. So the second thing which they have discussed is the productivity. So the authors have called in for investment excessive investment in infrastructure development and also in the research and development. They have discussed that water is the leading input for agriculture and more than 60% of the input water is being consumed only by the two crops that is rice and sugarcane. And if you also see India's usage of water is three times when it when it is compared to countries like USA, China or Brazil. And they have discussed two terms. One is the water use efficiency and second thing is the yield gaps. So they have told that the water use efficiency can be improved significantly with better use of technologies that includes your drip irrigation. It is not that agriculture can be done only with flooding of water but also with the help of technologies like drip irrigation. And the yield gaps should also be addressed with the technology inputs in order to improve the productivity. Nothing but coming up with eye-healing varieties. Now research is being done at large by the state agricultural universities and also by the national institute for agriculture. And the government policies bias towards rice and wheat is what the point of authors. So this particular change in approach is required. Since government is largely focusing on improving the productivity of rice and wheat all the farmers are orienting themselves towards producing rice and wheat which is an input which requires larger inputs. So input intensive crops, larger inputs. So rice and wheat are input intensive crops. So government policies should be focusing towards the entire crop chain which also includes your millets, pulses, your horticultural crops and also your livestock and fishes, etc. And the third topic that a problem that they have discussed with regards to the land size. They have told that the shrinking size of farms is responsible for lower incomes and which ultimately leads to the farm distress. And they have given some data. The first data is the average size of land holdings which they have compared year wise. In the year 1970 to 71, it was 2.3 hectares but if you see in the year 2015-16 which is a very recent it is 1.08 hectares. So the land holding size on average has decreased. And also the share of small and marginal farmers towards occupying that particular land. If you see in the year 1980-81 it was 70% of the farmers only were small and marginal. But now their composition has increased to 86% which means which denotes that the land is getting fragmented year on year. So the large farmers are getting their land fragmented. This is because of your family issues. So the average size of marginal land holdings is 0.8 hectares only in the year 2015-16. So marginal are those farmers which have land size less than 1 acres. So it should be around 1 acres but it is around 0.8 hectares. And they have also given the monthly income data of a different classification of farmers. If you see for the large farmers it is around 41,000 which is their monthly income. And for marginal farmers it is around 5000 rupees. And for small farmers it is around 4000 rupees. So here you can see the discrepancies in the data. Only the large farmers who have their land bank consolidated are earning a lot. In the other case the small and the marginal farmers where their lands are fragmented are having lesser earnings only. So the small farmers cannot get full income in the non-farm sector as well because there was a plan by the government to help the farmers towards earning income in the non-farm sectors. But that is not going to help a lot because the employment opportunities will not really suffice for the entire farming community. So they have to focus their employment on orient themselves only towards the agriculture. So in this step land consolidation is very crucial. So it was also discussed since the 1970s regarding the land consolidation. So for the previous 3 to 4 decades it was not being discussed. But now again it is in the topic that the lands needs to be consolidated in order to help the small and the marginal farmers. In order to reap the economies of scale both in your input procurement and also in your marketing. Because once you consolidate the land it will be easy for you to market. But it also requires the teamwork of those small and marginal farmers. So this was the third problem which was discussed by the author. So they have discussed 3 problems at large. So first one is the income and price. So the solution they have given for combating the income and price problem is the limited procurement scheme of by introducing the limited procurement scheme. So the second problem they have discussed is the productivity. So this can be negated only with the technological interventions. And the third problem they have discussed is the land size which requires a policy intervention by the government. So this is possible only with the consolidation of land holdings. So these were the solutions that have been given by the authors. With this we are winding up today's topic. Please do like, comment and share the video.

What's up internet? Talking today about free tips to boost PC performance and tip number three is not safe for work. So if by some miracle, you're in an actual office, you might want to wait until you get home. Ang video na to ay handog ng CDKoffers.com. Marami kang mahanap na iba't ibang uri ng software dito. May games, apps, activation codes or Windows 10. Check out our video on CDKoffers in the video description. Mabilis, mura and siyempre legit dito.

Kamitin ang aming promo code para mahakuha pa ng extra 20% discount sa purchase mo. Kung naghanap ka ng mura, legit and original software, check out CDKoffers.com. Tip number one is determine who is worthy. All programs want to run on startup but it's up to you to say if they're worthy of that honor. You want to keep the programs that start on startup to a bare minimum because the more programs that are running in the background, the more resources your system needs to devote to having those programs run.  All of those things add up pretty quickly and even beefy computers with lots of course and threads will bog down eventually. Doing this tip is easy, just go to task manager, startup tab and then enable or disable any program that you don't want running on startup. Personally, I only allow ShareX which is a screenshot tool which I use very regularly, Slack, Google Drive, Viber and my BitTorrent downloading program. Those are the only things that I allow to run on startup. Tip two in line with keeping your PC lean is making sure what gets installed on your computer. Some programs are a bit sketchy and when you're installing them they ask you, is it okay if I install another program which you don't actually need? So you need to be mindful of the installation screens that come up asking for your permission. Just don't click next, next, okay, okay because you might actually be accepting programs that you don't need. You may also need to check the advanced tab. Sometimes programs bury that option underneath that tab. Yung masakit pa dito, nag-yes ka na. You approve the installation of a program that you most likely will never need and will just result in slowing down your computer. Tip number three is not safe for work. Can as they sing in Avenue Q, the internet is for porn. What you do in your free time is none of my business but as with anything sex-related, be safe. In the offline world that means you sing this, ay, di pala. Actually, it's a thermal paste, but looks quite similar, right? In the offline world you take steps to be protected. The same needs to be done for your online activities. Online protection means being careful about where and what you click. Don't click any of those banners that you find on those sites. Don't click on the banner saying 10 beautiful girls are waiting for you in Kesson City. Don't click begin download. Don't click enter email address. Basically, those pages are minefields. Those pages are littered with boopy traps that a simple click can result in malware, can result in all sorts of really nasty bugs. Any interaction with those sites should be done cautiously.  Don't even use that to close. Use your browser commands. Be wary of the interface options presented to you by those sites. Sa toto ko lang ginawa ko na tong video na to so that I would have an excuse to my wife if she caught me surfing these sites. I could say na, it's for work. Hirep ng trabaho ko, no? Tip 4, if you do get spyware or bloatware, you'll need a good program to remove them and if you've watched, pwede magtanong our live tech show, we're always recommending super anti-spyware. It might have a goofy name, it might have an interface that hasn't been updated since the time era of past president, but the thing actually works. And in our experience, it actually removes some programs which others, anti-spyware things, cannot remove or aren't even able to detect. Tip 5, we're done with the porn, so now we're down to the boring stuff and you hear this all the time, update your drivers. Especially for new games, updated drivers can significantly enhance or improve the performance. Although I do have to note that updating drivers is not good all the time, recently, both NVIDIA and AMD's drivers have been a bit rocky. They're only supposed to do good things but when you install them, actually it increases system instability. So my general advice is if you are okay with the performance of your system, there's really no need to update drivers but if you're looking for a performance hit, especially for new games, then updating might be an option. The general advice before was to update as frequently as possible but really, with the iffy nature of drivers nowadays, I'm a bit reluctant to suggest that. Last tip, number 6 is kind of dated. In the olden days, and I mean like really old, old Windows 3.1 days, the advice was to lessen the icons that you have on your desktop because they impact system performance. Your PC needs to draw on resources to display those icons, those images, those sprites. To be honest, I don't know how true that was then and it's certainly not true now in the sense that it takes a very miniscule amount of computing resources for modern computers to have those icons on the screen. So by all means, keep your desktop as messy as you want but I got into the habit of not having any icons on screen so I just automatically hide all icons. Besides, kung maraming icons sa desktop mo, paano makihita yung wallpaper mo? So those are 6 free tips to improve any PC's performance. If you want to hear more about tip number 3, please let me know in the comments so that I have a work reason to go to those sites. Thanks for watching.


Today, I'm going to be talking about an exploration and investigation of worms. You can do this with any small creature or insect caterpillars, things like that. Our overall goal is just to kind of introduce kids to nature and living things and respecting them and their habitats. We talk about the scientific inquiry method of wondering about worms. We ask questions about worms. We decide what we want to find out about worms. We explore and then investigate them and then kind of have an overall discussion at the end on what we have gotten out of the discussion and exploration. We start with trowels, different things like that. We go outside and we find them underground and bring them into the classroom so that we can kind of get an up-close look and really zoom in on them.  We get all up-close so that we can talk about what the worms look like up-close, what we see, and then we kind of have, I always have a pen and paper and a camera for documentation. I then ask the kids to draw what they observe, what they see, and what they like about the worms. We just have an overall discussion and go to books, pictures, and even internet for further things.

And again, don't forget to smash the subscribe button. Give me a thumbs up, do not skip those ads. Now, the real question is what is Metro B? I have a whole video explaining to you guys what Metro B is. So I'm gonna put a link for that in the description or in the comment section, wherever I put it, baby. Make sure you go to check out that video so you can know how to get busy and, hey, you can dance in the video like he did it. Now, let's get started, baby. How to sign up for Metro B. The first thing that you are gonna do is we'll be always doing every video.     Click that again, become a driver. Then, as you guys can see right at the top of the screen, apply now and earn $1,200 plus per week delivered around your city with your SUV, van, reefer van, or box truck. Now let's get right into it. Put your full name, Jerome Adams Jr. Got that. Email address, roamshousereviewsatgmail.com. Phone number, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero, I'm a hero, and we are in Illinois, Illinois. Now, as you guys can see it says select your vehicle type. Currently, we need more drivers with an SUV, Sprinter van and cargo van. So, we have a Sprinter, so we're gonna put that right there. And then, you are just gonna hit apply. Get this money, you know why.  Awesome, we've got your application. Download Metro B Driver app to proceed with your registration. So, you are then gonna download the app. After you download the app, this is gonna pop up right here, baby. They're gonna ask you for your phone number.  Once they send you the code, you're gonna put the code in here, which usually on most phones, it's just gonna pop right up, you just hit the button, it's gonna go right in there. And then, after that, they are gonna ask you for your first name, your middle name, your last name, and your address. You are gonna put your personal information right there. After that, you are then gonna have to click which vehicle you have. If you have an SUV, a minivan, a van, a reefer van, or a box truck. We have a van, they don't have Sprinter on here for some reason, I don't know why. But guess what?  Let's go outside right now. Now we gotta hit it with the photo, you already know it all. We got that, they're gonna use that picture. Now, after you've hit them with the photo of the front of your vehicle, the next step is going to be, they're gonna ask you for a photo of your driver's license.   Great, we've received your information. You are on the waiting list, someone from our team will reach out to you when we have openness for you. So either you're gonna get in, or it's gonna tell you that. But if you get in, you're gonna see starts and orders. As you guys see on the screen right here, they have home, active, office, applied, and plans.  This particular order that I have on the screen right now. Put it right there, baby. That one was the first ever Metro B order I've ever done. And if you haven't watched that video, make sure you guys go check that one out. Now, this one was, it says pick up today. The payout is $69. The date was May 18th. You're gonna pick up at 9 a.m. And it was a laundry go for order. And if you don't know what the laundry go for order is, make sure you go watch that video, because I took you guys through the whole thing so you can go out there and get that green. It tells you the address of the pickup location of where you're gonna pick up the laundry from. And it also lets you know that you have five stops and you will be driving 15.96 miles. You got the payout, you got the mileage, and as you guys can see right there where it says click to show map, it shows you exactly where the locations are in the app. So it's real quick and real easy.  Now, how do you join an auction? You see it says join auction right there, right? You are then gonna hit join auction. Now, once you hit that button, it's pretty much the same as if you're familiar with road. It's like a roadie type of curry type of thing that you have to actually submit an offer in the app in order to get the order. So you're not always gonna get every single order. I haven't got every single order. I've applied for multiple orders and I've not got some and I have gotten some. So you're gonna join the auction. Now, once you've hit join auction, it's gonna then go to apply. You see where they say apply that? It's gonna go to apply.  Now, just so you guys know when you've joined the auction, you're not actually gonna put a month, you're gonna do it for it. It's not like that, baby. It's just pretty much you submitting that you want to do this order. You might win, you might not win. Also, sometimes when you have an order that popped up, it would say like this, put that right there for you, baby. You see it says one applicant. That means that somebody else has already put in join auction so they might get the order or you might get the order.  So it all depends on that, on how much you will receive for this order. It could add a few more miles. It could take away some miles. So it's really like you put it in the bid before the order is actually ready to be completed. Now, that is how it look when we are receiving orders. But I'm gonna tell you guys this. Before we start receiving orders, we receive this screen for a long time. Put that right there, baby. As you guys can see, it says 16 deliveries were available in the past 24 hours. So if you're seeing this screen, you're moving in the right direction. But I will tell you right now what we had to do. We had to reach out to Metro Bee and let them know that we are not receiving orders. And also says the deliveries were granted to drivers who had an average rating of 3.6 stars. Now, let me tell you guys the issue I have on Metro Bee. Everything works pretty well, but I have a huge issue with this. Hey, Metro Bee, if you watch this video right now, don't need to fix this. I've texted them and wrote them probably five times, literally, about this issue I've been having. Now, after I did see orders, everything went great, baby. I made it through on time. I completed the orders on time. Everything went very, very smooth. But after I got done with the orders, I started having issues with the app, like this. Y'all see that right there, baby? So I don't even know, you don't know what you're looking at right now. You have no idea. This is what happened to me after I completed orders. And again, I've reached out to them multiple times about this. As you guys see at the bottom, it says, since your reliability score is 2.5, you can only apply one day before the delivery starts. This delivery is currently available to drivers with reliability score of 4.5 or more. Now, I have an issue with that because I was not late and I explained that to them multiple times. They said they had to reset something in the app and it started everybody from scratch, which put you in a negative. So now, if I wanna apply, if I wanna join an auction for a delivery, I have to actually reach out to them personally, chat with them, and let them know, hey, I'm gonna send a picture and say, hey, I wanna do this order and you put me in.  So Metro B, hey, you need to get it together so we can keep on running up this cheddar.  I gotta give you the good, bad, and the ugly. Another thing that I don't like about the app is that sometimes when you join an auction, it takes 3,000 cabalicatrillion years, baby. It takes forever for them to pick the person who is gonna get this order now. I don't know how many people put in an offer order sometimes, but hey, it'd be taking a long time for you to go out there and get on the ground. Now, let's get into the pluses, the pros about everything, baby. Honestly, I really like the Metro B app. It's one of my favorite apps because they have so many variety of different types of orders and it's pretty much every day. And I think that if you like to do a certain order, they actually call you after you're done with the order and ask you how I went and everything. And it's possible that you can get that order every single day if you would like to.  Not the same exact order, but the same kind of order because they have orders like seafood restaurant orders. They got the laundry gopher orders. They have the healthy organic here's orders. They have the angelic, the angelic organics orders. They have a lot of different orders and they get more and more orders every single day. I also, again, like that they give you a call after and they tell you exactly how everything run. They're talking to a person from America.  They'll say, hey, how you doing, Jerome? It's supposed to call you three times before you get to the order, while you're in the order and after the order. But I'm gonna say this right now.   But for a beginner that does not know, it may work out great for you. And that, my friends, is everything you need to know about MetroV.  I get a lot of questions about MetroV.  I like MetroV a lot.  Have your day scheduled out, how you want to. And I think that you can have multiple orders in the same thing. You can do this one at this time, do this one at this time, then do this at this time.   Have a little fund, G. Now, do not forget before we go, baby. I'm gonna keep on telling you guys this. We get close, let me check it. Let me check it, baby. We are getting close to the giveaway when we get to 50K. We're getting 50,000 subscribers. As we are recording this video, we are at 47,314. We hotline Scorching. When we get 50,000 subscribers, it's going down. I'm getting a haircut and I'm giving away this cash so I'm going to have a pass. Hey, it don't pass. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you're not subscribed, make sure you smash that subscribe button. We're doing a giveaway, 250, 150, 100. Be your team show who's running. I'll see you guys on the next one. We're going, we're going, we're flowing. You already know it, it's DDK and I'm on my way. We got them, baby. We got them right where we want them. We got them right where we want them. Anybody who didn't finish watching the video, they're going to miss out, baby. If you watched my Zifty video from yesterday, I don't know what day it is you're watching this video, but if you watched the Zifty video, the first thing I said in the Zifty video was find out if they have the app in your area. I'm going to give you guys the areas that they got Metro being and do not tell nobody. This is the stay tone and stuck around when you're playing around. Now, first, they have it in California and Los Angeles and Salinas. Salinas, Salinas, if you live in Salinas or Los Angeles signed up for Metro B. Denver, Colorado, Washington DC, Florida, which includes Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando. Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, Boston, Massachusetts, Baltimore, Maryland, New York City, New York, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Seattle, Washington. Hey, again, don't tell nobody. We're about to do the worms of this money like Scottie Too Hotty. I'll see you guys on the next one. We're gonna be going before you already know in the TDK and we on our way.


What do y'all think of CNN? CNN? Yeah. The Communist News Network? Yeah, them. Did y'all see the Project Veritas? They'd be great if they would just tell the truth. Yeah, absolutely. Did you guys see the Project Veritas release recently on the internet? Pretty much proves that they're in the tank. I mean, we already knew it, but... All right, let's go. So that's pretty much it. Does anybody want to try? How do you guys feel about her claiming to be Native American? I mean, I think it's been proven she does have... It actually turned out she has a lot of... So it's actually... That issue really... I more bother about what's going on overseas. And what overseas is bothering you? Abandoning our allies. People who've been our allies in the war. Yes, and we've abandoned them. Hey, what is the score? I have a YouTube channel. DroneTechPolitics. Okay, I'm not sure we want to be on it. I'm sorry. Can I ask you a couple of questions on camera? All right, thank you. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? That's that. Are you interested in interviewing? Just interviewing a little bit and just talking? Who are you with? I have a YouTube channel, DroneTechPolitics. Are you tripping? Are you on the right or left? I probably lean right. I'm in the dialogue. I'm really shy, reclusive. All right, on me too.  I appreciate your views. Everybody's got to be nice. Yeah, I agree. We've got to talk. I know, I can't get through two sentences.  I know, I'll say it here. Yeah, I'm the worst interviewer. Yeah, me too. I'm still getting good at it. Thank you. You guys want to tell me why you guys like Lauren? Anybody? What's your favorite thing about Elizabeth Lauren? That she has a plan for literally everything. Well, what's your favorite plan? My favorite plan? I like her plan to fix our economy of the 2% taxes. I like her plan... Yeah, in the rich. Yeah, yeah. I like her plan on Medicare for all. I like her plan of erasing student debt. I love all of her. How about just like paying for... I mean, that 2% For free healthcare. If you taxed Jeff Bezos 2%, that alone would pay for so many people's colleges. So in general, just taxing the wealthy. Would solve that. And they'd still have like most of their money. So really it's a win-win. So do you think that we should get rid of privatized healthcare? Or should we move towards more government-controlled healthcare? I mean, for a month, I understand it. I don't have a great understanding. But I think Medicare for all only works if it's completely Medicare for all. I don't think it works if you try to do an intermingling. As far as yang goes, what's your favorite yang policy? Like why do you support it? I like that you guys support it. I'm a martial arts instructor. I'm a friend of mine who said I made this policy on extending the office of the May fighters. And that made me do the deep dive and really look at everything. And I like the fact that he can solve the problems. You know? I'm hearing that at like every group. Everybody's saying that. I'm not real like there are a lot of yang-gangers that are about the freedom of them. And that kind of took me a long time to come to terms with. So you agree with that then? I agree with it more now than I did at first. I'm still not 100% on board. I mean, it's existed in history for quite some time. You're talking about, is that living wage? UBI, living wage has existed in some form or fashion since the Roman Empire. Are you aware? And I'm not super familiar with them but I know that it's been tried at least a few times in a few different states. It's currently in Alaska. And it's been in Alaska for about 30 years where everybody gets about between $1,000 and $2,000 a month. How does it work now? I'm really not sure about that. That is funded by oil money. And then everybody just kind of gets a cut of that. I'm not a huge fan. I don't like it one bit but he did do some reforms from Britain. He did do prison reforms. He did. He's my bipartisan. He's not my favorite person. I've never vote for him ever but he did do that. Which nobody, like, no recent president has done. I'm not gonna...  I don't think he's friendly to people. There it is.  I'm the child of an immigrant so I don't know someone with his rhetoric.  He portrays them as... He portrays Mexicans as rapists and liars. When did he do that, though? There's a little... I'm actually quite familiar with the quote and what he actually said was... They're liars. They're rapists. People are coming across the border illegally and there's rapists. There's criminals. But he at no time said, like, all Mexicans are this or... He's not a great... I'm sorry. Yeah. He says, oh, we're for legal immigration. But then they're cutting down every way for people to get into this country. Yeah, he's made a hearder. He pays his taxes. He wouldn't even be in this country if it wasn't for the fact that we had legal immigration. Nobody wants everybody in the world to come here. They're pretty strict, actually, about it. They are, and they should be. We actually have the right to tell people it comes in. But at the same time, if we don't have enough people to... I think we're an Asian population. We need more people to come and young people who are willing to do that. What's your least favorite thing about Trump? What has Trump done that you like the least? Well, I think I can say it in one word. He has no integrity. Okay. He campaigned with all sorts of promises about what he was going to do. All he's done is what's good for Trump.  No, I don't. I think that all his decisions are based on what's good for him and what's good for his family. Well, I mean, everything he's done has blown back on him pretty badly, don't you think? No, I don't think it's blown back as much as it should. Really? And who do you support for 2021? Well, the reality is the election is over a year away. So to say definitively this is what I've decided on is tough. Who do you like? I like Elizabeth Warren. But I like many of the other candidates also. What would be your favorite Elizabeth Warren policy? What is the policy that you like the best that really makes you... I like the idea when you ask her what's the first thing she wants to do, she says she wants to get corruption out of government. I'm not sure that's possible. But I think that would be a good way to go. I think, you know, she's very... she has a plan for everything. So when people ask about Elizabeth Warren, she says I have a plan for that. Well, I have a song for that. I've written a musical 2020 the musical with 20 songs about all the issues we care about. So maybe that's why I identify with her. Well, I'll get some people to go into that and check it out. Alright, thank you. You too. Oh, thank you. Real quick, last question, and this will be my kind of triggering question, but what do you think about Elizabeth Warren? It kind of just went away, but the fact that she claimed to be Native American, it turned out she wasn't. Well, she went and got tested. She thought she was based on what family members told her. And then when she got tested and found out she wasn't, she owned up and said, you know, I was wrong. A little bit later she did. I first she didn't. But a little bit later she did. Alright, well, I'm not going to split hairs with you. I think the reality is when she found out that it wasn't part of your direct heritage, she acknowledged it. Do you think that if a Republican had done that, they'd have gotten off as easily, even if they had come out and been like, I'm sorry? Yes. What do you think about money and like the young Turks and people they're getting money from? So the young Turks does get a lot of donations. It's primarily just $10 per time. They get a lot of money from a lot of, you know, political... Honestly, I'm the wrong... I don't know if I'm the wrong person to ask. I just know that I know people that donate $10 a month and that's, you know... Well, they've gotten some money, they've gotten a lot of money from shady people. Okay, I mean, from... Who's this? Well, from Qatar, for example. Yeah, I don't know. You never heard the young Turks? No, I never heard the young Turks. Can I see your sign? Yeah. Nice. What do you think about that Project Veritas release yesterday? I mean, that just shows how all the corporate media is owned from the top down. They get their orders from the top down. You can't trust any of the big news corporations. You've got to trust the independent. They don't talk about any of the real issues. It's all, all little issues they talk about. Or if you're going to at least take in some of the other ones. Or if you're going to get a broad especially, you know, you're listening to NBC, ABC, CBS, all the same. Every single night. And it's all in Pete's Trump, too.

This research proposes a novel metastructure laminar hull concept using periodic layered phononic crystals to optimize the sound insulation performance on the air solid side of the hull structure. The acoustic transmission performance is evaluated using the transfer matrix, the acoustic transmittance, and the tunneling frequencies. The theoretical and numerical models for a proposed thin solid air sandwiched metastructure hull indicate ultra-low transmission within a 50 to 800 Hertz frequency band and with two predicted sharp tunneling peaks. The corresponding 3D printed sample experimentally validates the tunneling peaks at 189 Hertz and 538 Hertz with 0.38 and 0.56 transmission magnitudes respectively with the frequency band between those values showing wide band mitigation. The simplicity of this metastructure design provides a convenient way to achieve acoustic band filtering of low frequencies for marine engineering equipment and accordingly, an effective technique for low frequency acoustic mitigation.

Baltops is an annually recurring multinational exercise designed to demonstrate the resolve of allied and partner forces to defend the Baltic region. Our role is doing post-mission analysis from the unmanned underwater vehicles out on the water. We're looking at what we call a waterfall, the sonar imagery, to analyze whether there could be underwater mines and then we pass that data up to our chain of command and they decide from there whether we dive on it or if it is looked at another time. We're trying to keep the seas clear mines, whether those are new mines or things from the past in former world wars that could potentially still harm a ship that transits through the waters. Mine countermeasure exercises are just one of the many facets of Baltops 2016. For more information about Baltops 2016, visit navy.mil.


And then for the hamstrings, that's going to require a bisection of the gracilis. So again, want to use the probe as the marker, make the cut, reflect the muscle and reveal. So the hamstrings are made of three primary muscles. The one here on the bottom, so you can see that there is this muscle here. So this muscle here and then this muscle here. So the one that is a part of the hamstring is the bottom one. It's the semimembranosis. So this muscle here. Now for the other two muscles that are a part of the hamstring, one is going to be this really broad muscle, the biceps firmoris, which runs along the side. Then if I turn the cat over to the dorsal side, the other is going to be the semitendinosis. And so to see the semitendinosis, I'm actually going to need to create a boundary between the biceps firmoris and the semitendinosis. So I've kind of marked out where that division is with the probe. And so I'm just going to follow that and then confirm the separation. So I'm going to take this up just a little bit more. So we made that cut and that's going to be one of the boundary cuts for our semitendinosis, which is here. So the other boundary point is really in the medial portion of the leg, so dorsal and medial on the back of the leg. So here's the other. And so what I'm going to do is just use the probe again as a guide and follow this cut or the separation all the way to the top. So if the tail can get out of the way there, maybe I can lift it up. You can see this is the semitendinosis. So the three muscles that make up the hamstring, we have the biceps firmoris here on the side, the semitendinosis here. And then you can kind of see the semitendinosis from the dorsal view, but the ventral view is far better. And it is the bottom muscle here. So those three muscles make up the hamstring.


Everybody Matt here for late in sports cars ripping three boxes of 2022 Bowman chrome baseball hobby. These are for Jeffrey H Good luck Jeffrey. I just want to see Paul, you know, Hickey McKelviny and Ruff-Ella All right, so Blake's trying to trying to will some red socks into the break here Landon neck Ellie, I'll tell you funny stories about him cool. I'm too like really deep personal ones that are That is Josh Lowe rookie blue refractor 150 Can you imagine if the rays still had Nate Lowe? Nate Lowe Josh Lowe and Brandon Lau This is Marcello Meyer green refractor to 99. There you go Thanks, Marcello. I think I'm gonna keep This is base Otto Braxton Fulford there's Anthony Gutierrez and Roderick Arias Marcello is a very good golfer. Is he? It's John Kinsey Noel it's fluent Spanish Thank you. Many people know that about him It's Khalil Watson purple shimmer Which is like kind of crazy and baseball to have somebody who is like like an American speak fluent Spanish. Yeah It's Joey Weimer That's Julio Rodriguez Please Rodriguez he gets a ton of respect from all the latin guys like big Yeah, like they say he they think he's one of them, you know like they feel like he's a Latin Ruhon and that's a refractor Christian Vecchero Thought that I was gonna have ink on it got my hopes up. This is Otto Victor La Brata. There's Brian Acunha The back of these are awesome West Kath Like the facts and stuff about him. This one has no stats There's not any stats Sign with Washington Nationals rated as number one prospect checked in at number two on MLB comm list nicknamed the phenomenon by scouts natural lefty swinger Tram on Pavia like that Just great write-up. Yeah, I like that the write-ups about players on the back of cars is some of my favorite things Honestly Yeah, when I was a kid For internet and stuff. I read the back of every baseball card I pull. Yeah It's funny because one of my friends who's like not living in the hobby yet But he likes cards Joe Ryan first thing he does when he hits a card is looks at the back Like he doesn't even look at the front that much. He likes the back of it. Yeah, it's Paul Goldschmidt.  Let's see a monster hit in here for you Big auto big first auto. Ooh, that's nice yellow refractor to 75 Marcella Meyer might as well as put together a rainbow that a boy There you go nice one. Oh, it'll fill Joey.

Thanks for the purchase Jeffrey appreciate it I wish it would have been a big hit there for you, but we'll get these right out to you


Hi, this is Dr. Dunn. I want to take a bit of time here and walk you through question three and the remix for lab four. And this question is on regression, and it's based on what we did in rehearse two in lab four on linear regression. And the first thing in the write-up here, it gives us a code chunk to load the real data frame we created in rehearse two. So I'm going to copy this, and then I'm going to go over to poset cloud, used to be our studio cloud. It's still functionally the same. And here is the student name, .RMD file, I renamed it to lab four remix. You would put your name there, ideally. And here's question three, again repeated, is there a real linear relationship between land dot value and price in the houses in the real data frame? What is the equation of the straight line? So we're doing a linear regression, we're going to get the equation of the line. Now over here, you can see in the environment, we don't have any data frames yet, no data objects. So the first thing to do is create that, but I don't have a place to copy that code. So I'm going to click on the plus in the C and put in a blank R code chunk. Now if I'm lucky, I still have that copied, ctrl V PC, and it gives command V and a Mac, but don't hold me to that. So I've got this in here. The first two lines are loading some libraries we may need. And then the operative line that we need is this line here, 249, and it says real equal read dot delimited, and read dot delimited is the function, delimited type file, and we're putting the URL, the web address, for Dr. DeVue's Saratoga dot text file, and we're going to read it in and assign it to real. The equal sign there is another way of assigning a value like you can with the less than and the dash. Here we're creating the real with the single equal sign. And then the options down here, you don't have to worry about that. That's just something to make things a little bit prettier. So I'm going to run this code and you can see now up here in the environment, we've got our real data object and you'll need that later on. You can inspect the real by clicking on the little blue triangle there. You can see it's roughly 1700 rows of observations on 16 variables. And here are your variables named their price, lot dot size, waterfront. You can scroll down to get to the bottom of their rooms, bathrooms, and college. So those are your variable names that you might be using and you should always pay attention to how they're spelled, how they're capitalized. And when you're putting these variables into code, you need to use them exactly the same way they are here or you'll get in here. So let's keep moving. The next piece of code, I'm going to move this up a little bit here. We're given this and we just need to edit it. It says model, that'll be our new data object will be model. And then we're assigning the values from a linear model. That's the function we're using, LM. And this is saying sales, this looks like it's on YouTube marketing data. The database, the data object is called marketing. And we've got two variables here. Sales is a function of, that's what that little tilde sign is. You think of it as it's saying function of, sales is a function of YouTube. That must be the number of views on YouTube. This would be sales and dollars function to the number of views on videos on YouTube from the data, the marketing data file. So we want to edit this. Now I'm not going to show you the exact answer. I'm going to just pick two numerical variables here. Let's get living area, living.area and lot size. It was like lot sizes and acres. So I'm going to put those two variables in. I'm going to pause this and type those in. Okay, I've got it edited, I think, and I want to run it. Whoops, you see we've got an error there. And it says lot.size not found. What do they have to misspell that? Let's look over here. It should be lot with a capital S. Okay, no biggie, I will edit this again and then get rid of this error and then run again. And there we go. Now over here in the environment, we've got our model object as a list of 12 things. And you can see here, it gives us the formula. It is living area, function of lot size from the real data frame. And remember from high school geometry, y equal mx plus b. So y would be the living area. Lot size is x, so this is m, 145 times x plus 162. That would be our intercept. So that's your equation of the line. And what you need to do, of course, would be to edit this to put in your variables that we're interested in here, not necessarily a lot size of living area. The next part, it says create a scatter plot between price and land dot value of your two variables using this code chunk. And then, of course, you will need to edit it. Now I've added some comments here that weren't in their code chunk. Remember the little pound sign creates, let you create a comment to help you understand what's going on and R knows not to try to run that as code. I said find the correlation coefficient R between the two variables. Now I want to just leave it as they had it, living area and price. And of course, you'd have to edit those two variables and change out to match the two that you're interested in, okay? And then the second part makes the scatter plot. And again, they've got the two variables there inside the single quote, their back quote, living area, price, the two variables. And then the rest of this, you don't have to edit.  You can see the first part gives us our correlation coefficient, 0.71. 0.7 is generally considered to be a pretty strong correlation. And it's positive, that means as living area goes up, price goes up. They go in the same direction. And that's what we see here in this plot, that as living area increases, price increases, which would be logical. So that's what you need to do. Again, you're going to edit this to put in your two variables. And then finally down here is the correlation strong. Remember, if it's about 0.6 or more, then it's strong. If it's less than about 0.3 or negative 0.3, it would be very weak. So you can kind of remember those. And then it says, do you think some extreme data points are substantially influencing the slope? So they're called influential. You say down here in the real world, you would remove those data points and rerun the code. You don't have to do that. But I do want you to think about it and comment. For example, my first inclination here, I look at that data point. It's way out here all by itself. That went to, and those might be influential. Now, if we took those two parts out, that line might move a pretty good bit. So that's the kind of thought process I want you to go through. So I hope this helps.


So we've got another story to file under completely predictable and unsurprising, nevertheless still really really infuriating. So as Brett Wilkins of Common Dreams reports, on Wednesday, ICC chief prosecutor Fatah Ben-Suda confirmed the decision announced early last month to launch a formal investigation of the situation in Palestine, including three major wars in Gaza that killed thousands of people, most of them civilians. Ben-Suda said on Wednesday that the court's decision followed a painstaking preliminary examination undertaken by my office that lasted close to five years, while vowing her office will take the same principled, nonpartisan approach that it has adopted in all situations. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's far-right prime minister called Ben-Suda's announcement absurd and in a tactic often employed in attacks to delegitimize criticism of Israeli policies and actions, undiluted anti-Semitism. Ben-Suda advocates, however, welcomed the ICC probe while condemning US opposition to it. So basically what's happening is the ICC is now formally investigating Israel's numerous human rights abuses of the Palestinian people and of Palestine. Now Israel predictably is responding by saying this is anti-Semitism, which is absurd on its face because if it's anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of a government, then we literally can't criticize any government in the world without being viewed as racist or Islamophobic or anything. So it's absurd. It's literally Israel weaponizing identity politics to shield themselves from criticism and it's just not persuasive. But the article referenced US opposition to it and, of course, the United States is against this investigation. Not shocking at all. And the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, who is a warmonger tweeted out this, The United States firmly opposes an international criminal court investigation into the Palestinian situation. Love the intentionally vague wording there to use instead of war crimes. We will continue to uphold our strong commitment to Israel and its security, including by opposing actions that seek to target Israel unfairly. So the Biden administration stance towards Israel is identical to the Trump administration stance towards Israel, which was identical to the Obama administration stance towards Israel, which was identical to the Bush administration stance towards Israel. I think you get the point here. The United States has been terrible in this regard. They are defending a modern day apartheid and it is absolutely morally detestable for a country that purports to care about human rights. It's funny how they always give Israel a pass. And if you question the actions of the Israeli government, which is a right wing government, that apparently means that you're anti-Semitic, like that's absolutely preposterous. Nobody is saying that the Jewish people or Israeli citizens are culpable here. What we're saying is that the actions of a government are creating a situation where the lives of citizens it is in control over, like Israel is occupying Palestine, it is leading to human rights abuses. And there are even war crimes, US says nothing. It's ridiculous. Now, thankfully, there are individuals in Congress now who are speaking up. Rashida Tlaib was one of them and she writes, no one is above the law. The International Criminal Court has the authority and duty to independently and impartially investigate and deliver justice to victims of human rights violations and war crimes in Palestine and Israel. The US should not interfere with its ability to do so. And that is exactly it. Like if the United States genuinely believed that the Israeli government had clean hands here, then what would be wrong with an investigation? OK, you know what we're confident? Go ahead and investigate Israel and you'll find that the government's actions, they're fine, like there's no wrongdoing.  But they're not saying that because the US government knows that if there is an actual comprehensive and robust investigation into the actions of the Israeli government, they're going to find a plethora of war crimes, human rights violations. Palestinians are literally second class citizens in Israel. I mean, what we're seeing now is vaccine apartheid, where the Israeli government vaccinated lots of their citizens completely left out Palestinians from that equation. Like it's absurd. So the fact that you can't even look into human rights abuses and that that's like too much. That's being too unfair to Israel. It is absolutely just it's Orwellian. It is Orwellian to say the least. Now, Code Pink also had a really great response to this saying by Palestinian situation, do you mean Palestinians rightful resistance to Israel's extremely cruel and inhumane occupation of Palestine and apartheid against the Palestinian people? Because that seems a whole lot more unfair than the international criminal court doing their job. And that is exactly it. Like this is a double standard. If you dare to criticize the Israeli government and their right wing prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is who is corrupt, then, you know, that that means you're anti-semitic. But it's not Islamophobic to turn a blind eye to the crimes that they're committing against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza. That's not Islamophobic. That's not the issue here. The issue only is that you're questioning the Israeli government.  Like, I don't know how else to describe this situation. It's Orwellian. It's this ingenuous. It's it's gaslighting on behalf of the Biden administration. But it's not surprising at all. I mean, this is not something that anyone expected to change with the Biden administration. This is a stance that we're going to continue to see. Like even Barack Obama, when he got cooked by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Republican Party invited him to address Congress, like Obama still couldn't really speak up because the entire foreign policy establishment and military industrial complex would be against him like he felt like he couldn't speak up even when the Israeli Prime Minister made a fool of him in his own country that he's the leader of. So I mean, if that doesn't get anyone to change, then nothing else will. Like no president is ever going to do what they need to do, which is why we need, you know, a grassroots movement, pressure in the form of BDS to stop Israel from doing this, like put pressure on them in a different way since the US government very obviously is never going to do the right thing here.
