Hello everyone, welcome to another International Relations CAHPS view for the Shankar IAS Academy. Today we discuss the latest Quad meeting, the Quadrilateral meeting in Tokyo which concluded yesterday. You are aware of the origin and development of this grouping which had taken different shapes and sizes, not sizes, maybe shapes in the last few years and it came into being as some kind of a security dialogue in a formal way after the Chinese action in Ladakh in 2020. Till then India was rather reluctant to give it any kind of an alliance format but it became a formal kind of a grouping and also we had other groupings like orchestration same period. This meeting was held in Tokyo against the backdrop of a new development which is the emergence of Russia as a country of concern because of its attack on Ukraine as well as its close linkages with China because the concern of the Quad countries or democratic countries in the Pacific region were concerned about the expansionist policies of China. So though it was not specifically spelled out as something which is to counter China, it was quite obvious that that was the purpose but most of the things that it were of general interest to various countries, there were military exercise etc but it was more of a dialogue and a cooperative body rather than a military alliance because India had always not agreed to any military alliance but the complication which arose was when the war started in Ukraine and the western countries started countering Russia to weaken it with various sanctions and so on and naturally the United States as the leader of NATO was also interested in energizing Quad against Russia also not only China and this was because Russia and China had come to sign an agreement kind of treaty which unlimited cooperation and they became virtually partners in that arrangement. This happened just before Russia invaded Ukraine but this gave a new dimension to it and therefore there was a meeting in Melbourne where I talked about it to you sometime ago where the Americans, Australians and the Japanese wanted to bring in this issue of Ukraine as a threat to security about which India should mean the Quad should be concerned but India as you know had taken a neutral position on this issue and therefore we are not willing to bring that into the agenda of the Quad and this created some unpleasantness. Many countries faced in India's abstention at the United Nations on these issues because how is it that a democracy is supporting an authoritarian state and particularly because Russia and China are collaborating with each other so we took the position that we have certain interests and we will protect them but we are of course against any kind of war, any kind of violation of borders, territorial integrity etc. And you may remember I talked about the rising and dialogue where many European countries came and questioned us again on this. So just against this backdrop that the Quad met and it was obvious that the three other countries must have pressed India to take a different position. We don't know as nothing has been mentioned though all the three countries are supposed to have raised this issue in the Quad meeting but India stuck to its position that we are opposed to war, we would like to have reconciliation, diplomatic resolution and not any condemnation and that position seems to have been accepted by the rest of the Quad and therefore they sent this aside the issue of Russia and decided to design a number of measures to meet the continuing threat in the Indian Ocean region, Indo-Pacific region. And here Russia went on to the side of the Chinese because they raised even the question of the name of Indo-Pacific, they wanted it to be retained as Asia Pacific and that is one issue on which China and Russia think alike and naturally we would not like to change this nomenclature. So therefore Russia and China's collaboration on this issue became a little stronger. So what we see in the joint statement which is the pursuit after the Quad meetings in Tokyo there are also bilateral meetings and so on where all these issues may have been discussed. So it has come out with a broad agenda to confront the looming political and economic crisis. So it's not just the political, it is not just the expansionism of China that is threatening the world but there are many other things including the pandemic itself, the Korean war and the emerging tendencies around the world, terrorism, sectarianism, all these issues. So what has come out of the Quad meeting in Tokyo in a nutshell is that it has now a more composite agenda which includes all the threats to humanity in general and particularly in the context of Asia Pacific and the security of these four democratic countries. So with this expanded agenda our Prime Minister called the Quad a force for good. So he emphasized the more positive aspects of it. So it will not be against anybody but it will work in its own interest as a force of good, force for good without mentioning any of its military aspects. So this is the new development. But however all the discussions showed that there was no doubt that the Chinese threat was the reason for Quad to become a robust partnership and after China and Russia declared an alliance without boundaries and declared and attacked Ukraine, the Russia also became a natural concern for the Quad. So as I mentioned, Russia even objected to the name of Indo-Pacific but the Quad did not take any united action or a united stand against Russia because of India's neutrality. Both China and Russia knew the danger of the Quad coming up with a new agenda and therefore China promptly protested even before the conference and the Japanese have been reporting that even while the Quad conference was being held in Tokyo, not only Chinese fighter planes but also Russian fighter planes flew over Tokyo to give an indication of their objection to what was going on. So their concern is that Quad may become an agent of NATO and that was the message that they wanted to give that if they did that there would be danger of escalation. It is quite clear that India and we know from reports that these countries, Japan, Australia and the US raised the question of Ukraine and India maintained its position that the focus should be ending the conflict and the tragic humanitarian crisis but the differences between India and the rest of the Quad seem to have been resolved or at least narrowed down to what is fundamentally necessary. At the same time, the Quad announced several measures to counter China without naming it to enable the partners to monitor the Indo-Pacific region to ensure peace and stability there. So one of the essential strategic moves by Quad is to expand their information and knowledge about what is happening so several measures were taken and many of them were to be able to follow developments in Indian Ocean and also take out the measures as necessary. The first thing that they did was the joint statement, they have mentioned these several principles these are not new at all but they reiterated them in a systematic I mean as a list of the principles that Quad will follow. These are of course well known like the principles of freedom, rule of law, democratic values, sovereignty and territorial integrity, peaceful settlement of disputes without resorting to threat or use of force, any unilateral attempt to change the status quo and freedom of navigation and overflight all of which are essential to the peace stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region and the world in general. So this is the crux of the heart of the joint statement that they repeated these are all well known principles but when you repeat that in this context the meaning is very clear that somebody is violating peace and everybody knows who that somebody is who that two countries are. So they said that we will continue to act decisively together to advance these principles in the region and beyond and then they said we reaffirm our result to uphold the international rules-based order where countries are free from all forms of military, economic and political coercion. So the reiteration of these principles makes it clear that the Quad does not approve much of what is happening in the world and the criticism of some of the actions of China and Russia is implicit in the joint statement that is very clear. Then what are these measures they have outlined? The first one is called Indo Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness IPMDA. The idea is to offer it looks like an American initiative and they have promised to provide the countries effective integrated maritime domain awareness. So it's a euphemism for following all the likely military activities in the Indian Ocean region and then and this was extended not only to the Quad countries but also its partners in the South Pacific Island states as we know where there have been moves by China in Solomon Islands and others and that is what they have in mind and Southeast Asia of course but most of these countries China is making inroads and so they are saying that they will provide independent programs to these countries to monitor the development of the region and they have formed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and resilient and how to work pricelessly to deliver tangible results in the region. So these are all words which clearly indicate that there are serious concerns about Russia and China among these countries and they will take preventive measures and Quad also this time spoke a little about the other hot spots in the world. For example it supported complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and condemned North Korea's destabilizing nuclear and missile tests. This is again a common western position but we also sympathize with that then it also called for the immediate end of violence in Myanmar and restoration of democracy there. Here of course India's view is slightly different we are a little more tolerant of the individual regime because we have vital interests in Myanmar but we support the initiatives taken by many countries particularly ASEAN countries to bring back democracy in Myanmar but we have not made it conditional we are continuing our cooperation with the military particularly because we feel that if we keep away the Chinese will have a walkover and therefore India has joined in this call for democracy but at the same time may not like to take any action and it is in our favor that the Quad took a very strong position against terrorist attacks including they mentioned the cross border attacks and named the Mumbai and Patan got attacks you know who as for Afghanistan it demanded that Afghan territory must never again be used to shelter or train terrorists. So what the joint statement says about terrorism is very much India's perspective and the other countries also face the same threat and therefore on terrorism there was a very strong position taken and coming to a more soft agenda of the Quad which were outlined in Tokyo, goal of global health and combatting COVID have been assigned a very high priority in the activities of the Quad. Sadly as you know during the height of the Quad there was hardly any international cooperation it was India who slowly started international cooperation started distributing you know we had this vaccine my three program it was all not very successful because people were still suspicious of these things but we are the ones who started off you know international cooperation in fighting against the Quad and the last meeting there was also an agreement that US will US and Japan will US will provide the funding Japan will provide the technology and India will be most of the manufacturing and then distributed with Australia's assistance some kind of a program was made and this was reinstated is reasserted and they said that the danger is not gone away and the countries must cooperate and several measures were outlined then turning to another soft agenda which is the climate change so Quad will step fastly implement the Paris Agreement as you know the Paris Agreement is still in existence and that has been of course amended by the COP26 in Glasgow so and therefore it launched the Quad launched the Quad climate change adaptation and mitigation package with you know mitigation is resolving the problems reducing the problems with climate change and adaptation is to in such situations where you cannot change adapt ourselves to the situation and make changes in your lifestyle etc so both mitigation and adaptation are important elements in fighting climate change and this was asserted and then on security advancing cyber security has also been identified as a priority for improving the defense capabilities of the partners so if you read the joint statement you will find the anxiety about the military aspect very much there and that India has also implicitly accepted it but at the same time we are not allowed to turn it into a military alliance and that and also emphasized that peace and tranquility are dependent not only on military security but also other aspects like cyber security climate change terrorism etc so what we have today for the Quad is a comprehensive agenda and that I would say is the the the achievement of the Tokyo summit you are asked you could say that it had a general agenda it was complicated but an agreement has been reached about a comprehensive agenda going beyond the security dialogue because non-conventional threats that we mentioned like climate change and terrorism and other priorities have come up and so we have the security aspect on one hand then we have the other aspects like COVID and the climate change so the one with a shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific has emphasized the importance of fundamental values and principles and committed to work tirelessly to deliver tangible results to the region it has also agreed to maintain a continuous dialogue among themselves and it was agreed that also there will be a summit in Australia next year the what has really happened is the complications which arose because of where she are getting into the act and becoming a party or a counter to the Quad and that created some what shall we say some ripples and our position was criticized by the other three sometimes very softly would sometimes ration so nobody was very sure that how the Tokyo meeting will emerge so what has happened is that India's position has been understood and they have tried to contain it that the agreement in the consensus reached and they have now an agenda which is global which could counter not only the Chinese threat but also the other threats in the region so in a sense this meeting has been in advance and we can expect that in the depending on what happens in Ukraine when the weather when the war ends there may be a better possibility of better understanding of the situation but the present agenda of the United States to weaken Russia to defeat it is something which India does not subscribe to so we will concentrate on the other ideas and wait for the end of the war but one thing is clear is that we will not condemn anyone we will simply work with everybody for peace and resolution of conflicts so the principles have been established a structure has been created an agenda has been made so now it's a matter of implementation to make the Indo-Pacific more peaceful and more productive thank you very much I noticed it for me also it is a new formulation so obviously it means a secret passage because very often many of these warships etc when they go through these areas they do not identify themselves unless confronted so this has happened and this is being done by both sides and once you remember that an American ship came into our territorial waters and we raised objections but that is a usual thing that they do and but this is the first time I am seeing it in a document of this kind and obviously this is a danger that they anticipate that ships may come into the region without proper permissions and information because when they come into our region like in our territorial waters or the economic zone certain formalities are required and somebody must be dodging it maybe the Chinese and that must be the reason why they are talking about our ships I don't know whether it has any other technical definition but we'll look out


today guys i bring you six amazing exploits glitches tips and tricks and farms for borderlands free has it gone guys my name is dpjenn i'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video if you enjoy leaving a like truly helps me out and subscribe if you want more borderlands free videos also guys i'm giving away copies of borderlands so to win one for yourself or a friend simply subscribe and make sure you have notifications turned on drop a like on this video only the comment down below okay so borderlands is full of farms glitches exploits and so much more today i bring you six which are amazing now i know not everybody wants to use glitches etc which is fine there are a certain few i won't use either so let's get into them guys and firstly how to make literally 20 million dollars every few minutes yes you heard that right now once you get to the end game i beat the story and unlock the mayhem mods money isn't hard to come by but if you are watching this and you are sure on cash this will for sure help you out so firstly you need a grenade which gives you money upon hits there are many in the game there's epics and legendos so just make sure you have one of these then invite a few pals the modern maria then head into the vending machine section of the ship start a duel and make sure everybody joins it you then stand next to their vending machine your pals stand in the corner and simply throw your grenades at them keep you stuck in and throw it until the time we understand how the level they are i'm sure the more money you make and it's easy money people as you can see on screen now dino is going to throw a grenade didn't you but next up we have an iridium farm while two actually the first is located on pandora and to get here and do this load into the guts of carnivora once in guys turn back on yourself and load into the carnivora doing this saves you run through enemies and so forth so when you spawn outside head over to the right to this catch a ride once you do this follow the route i take to this save point this is where you will spawn into farm this iridium so from this save point head to this location here you will find five or six iridium rucks smash them quit out the game load it back up rinse and repeat now i'm not sure if you do this i may hem free if it upsaws iridium drops that's something you can try out yourselves another great iridium farm spot is iron voracious canopy on Eden six so spawn in travel to this point where the save point is then just jump down into this cave here you will find iridium collect it quit and reload and rinse repeat and this spot was indeed patched or nerfed so to speak but it's still really good also don't forget playing offline reverts all changes that patch applied time to break through couldn't even dead that day watch your hiding so next up we have the vehicle duplication glitch which allows you to literally get any part of any one of your powers vehicles so if they have a certain part or mod that you don't and you want or vice versa you have something they want this glitch allows you to get it in a matter of seconds so upon any planet via any area with a catch a ride simply head there with your pal get your pal to spawn in that vehicle with the parts on that said vehicle that you want when he does you need to get into the driver's seat then have your pal spawn in another vehicle it doesn't matter what it is when he has you jump out of his vehicle then jump back in and you will see the catch a ride light up park on it and you are done the vehicle and the parts on it that you didn't have before will now be there for you to select and use okay so next up we have the legendary farms now since the patch mayhem legendary gear farming took a massive blow but there is a way around it guys now the best spot for farming legendaries in the game in my opinion is probably the loot tank located on Eden 6 via Jacobs estate pulse patch you'd load this up run to the new save point as you can see on the screen now kill him quit out then load back up and repeat or people use grave ward via the floor into human Eden 6 both were amazing legendary farming spots until gearbox patched mayhem legendaries and farming while people there is a work around farm them while you are offline so simply quit out of your game make sure the game isn't running then disconnect your console from the internet load the game back up Xbox I know myself can give you an error cancel that off and keep trying then go back to that farming spot and you are good to farm as per usual one thing which is super important though which you should not do while farming offline is spend those guardian tokens you will earn do not spend any that you rack up while playing offline doing so will send you into a negative guardian token state once you go back online so again guys do not spend any of the guardian tokens you earn while you are farming offline if you go back online and you are sure you are back online and an easy way to tell this is via the XP gains because you earn so much more when you're offline or you can press start go into your social press y or triangle depending on what you're playing on click that cog in the top right corner and make sure it isn't set to local only you earn loads more XP offline for some reason but when you are earning this XP you are also earning guardian tokens and because you are doing this offline where it's increased XP and if you spend the tokens offline when you go back online the game thinks you've cheated basically and it takes them off you and because you've already spent them it puts you into a negative state so again do not spend guardian tokens which you earn while farming offline but this XP farming offline is great for my next tip if you have finished a story and are on that level 30 35 as I just suggested go offline to earn so much more XP to get you up to that rank 50 in a matter of minutes so make sure you are playing on one of the mayhem modes depending on your level what I say is if you're a level 30 to 40 play on mayhem one once you get to 40 to 45 play on mayhem two and 45 plus go on mayhem three you earn way more XP the higher the mayhem mode best place in my opinion to farm XP though is in rogues hollow on amber mirror upon Eden six spawn in here turn around jump out the window head to this cave and kill the four billets doing this offline to rank up to 50 will take you no time at all again guys it's important to remember since you have beat the store you will start earning guardian tokens to spend on that guardian rank do not spend any that you earn offline wait until you go back online to play with that and make sure the game realizes that you're online and like I said you can do this via pressing start going down to social pressing y or triangle then going to the cog in the top right corner and checking that it isn't set to local only and you're good to go okay so lastly people does a friend have a piece of gear which you want weapon class mud shield grenade whatever well with this duplication glitch you can easily get said items so to duplicate absolutely anything have the person who has the item you want to join your sanctuary lobby get them to go into their vaults within their room making sure the item that's to be duplicated is in their inventory not in the vault so have them go into their vaults and tab across to their inventory tab here they hover over the item that's to be duplicated what the host of the lobby then has to do is quit at the game obviously giving a timer to the person within the vault so on xbox you just go to the home screen press start on the game and go down to quit and hover above quit giving a person within their vault a timer as soon as you quit have them click the item to be duplicated so it would be normally them putting said item into their vaults from their inventory now there is around five to 10 seconds to do this and the amount of times you do click on said item that's how many times it will duplicate as you will see on screen now so I hope this helps you guys out and guys on that note we have come to the end these are a few tips tricks glitches and exploits to help you on your way and on that note guys we have come to the end and I hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave a like really helps out if you're new around here want more borderland tree videos be sure to subscribe anything never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button also guys excuse my voice I do have a code but it is what it is we get on with life but guys thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one

Live from New York City, it's theCUBE. Covering Lenovo Transform 2.0, brought to you by Lenovo. Come back to theCUBE's live coverage of Lenovo Transform here in New York City. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host Stu Miniman. We have two guests here on this segment. We have Kurt Scalgan. He is the President of Lenovo Data Center Group and Brad Anderson, the Corporate Vice President of Enterprise Mobility, for NetApp. Thanks so much for coming on the program. Thank you for having us. So the big news of the day, the NetApp-Lenovo partnership, explain to our viewers exactly what this means. These are two global powerhouses joining forces. Yeah, sure. So I think Lenovo has had an amazing year. Last year in our Transform 1.0, we announced the largest server portfolio in our history. And this year, we announced the largest data center, data management and storage portfolio in our history with the partnership with NetApp. So we're creating a multi-billion dollar global alliance, a multi-year alliance, and it has a place in a joint venture in China, as well as we'll be distributing now products in over 160 countries in the world. So tell us about the background to this partnership. How did it come about? Well, for NetApp, we were looking for expanding our reach. And there's two markets that we're kind of underserved in. One being kind of the commercial SMB, SME channel. And Lenovo has a high velocity channel there and a strong position. So Lenovo made complete sense in that space, as well as in China, where we have a strong brand, but we're underserved there as well. And so who's better in China than Lenovo? So for us, this is all about go-to-market. And then the fact that there are server vendors just icing on the cake because there are other two server vendor in the marketplace are also our competitors. And then Lenovo is so much more compatible and complimentary to our entire business. Yeah, Kirk, maybe you could spend a little more because when you look at storage today, storage really is built on servers. NetApp is at a start, it's a software company. Even back in the day, NetApp was never, some of the other storage companies spent a lot of time and money on the hardware pieces. NetApp, of course, that reliable, good, trustable hardware, but maybe explain how much kind of IP goes into this partnership. Yeah, sure. So I think today we have about 15% coverage of the overall storage market within Lenovo. And we've grown our flash array business over 100%. It's over the last four quarters. IDC had us at 30% quarter-quarter growth. So we've done well, but we only cover 15% of the market. After this announcement and shipping now today, we'll cover over 90% of the market in more than 160 countries. So we're using our global supply chain, which was ranked number five in the world by Garner, manufacturing in Europe, in China, in Mexico, et cetera, to really expand this out through our channel partnership program. And in China, we're taking a very unique approach to this joint venture. This isn't about taking global products and just trying to force fit them into China. China has unique software solutions, unique hyperscale requirements. So we're pooling our R&D there. Lenovo will be a 51% owner. NetApp a 49% owner. Brand's going to be on the board. And there we're going to be delivering products in China for China. Yeah, you've got a lot of experience with that. You talked about coming in the future, there's an NFV software and hardware solution in China. So Lenovo has some experience doing this kind of engagement. Yeah, we have a more than 50% growth now year on year in China. We retooled a lot of the operations that we had there. We have a really nice broad portfolio now since we launched Think System and Think Agile. So it's a nice place to grow on. So today we talked about the joint venture with NetApp but also the fact over the next year we'll be building out in a telecom NFV company after having China Mobile and China Telecom with us at Mobile World Congress as well as new Edge Gateway and Edge server solutions. Yep, Brad, I know Cloud's in your title for what you're doing when I hear NetApp talking. I see NetApp at all the Cloud shows that we go to. And it's a very different world than when I think about NetApp 10 years or 20 years ago is like the NAS Filer company. So bring us up to speed of the kind of the NetApp today, the momentum and what this brings. Yeah, I mean we are going through our own transformation where we were principally a storage company and now we want to be a data company and increasingly to be a data company you got to be a cloud company. And so we continue to develop what we think are the best storage products in the world but they're all cloud connected because we want data to be able to flow from prim to cloud and be able, customers be able to, I mean that's what really kind of fuels this digital enterprises is data's the new oil. And so in doing that we have kind of expanded NetApp's charter significantly to being the data authority in hybrid cloud and hybrid being both the private and the public. And so my business is really focused on providing products and solutions so customers can have the same experience in building their own private clouds that they enjoy in the public. And then on the public side we have partnerships with all the hyperscalers to put NetApp's in there so they can deliver native cloud data services. And so this is a very different company where we're getting more and more cloudy every day and that's part of our transformation intentionally. So the transformation it's the theme of this conference and you were up on the main stage talking about Lenovo's turning this corner and really accelerating its growth and also talking about the transformation from within the company, changing the look of the leadership team in particular. Can you tell our viewers a little bit more about that strategy? Sure, so we acquired the IBM System X business in late 2014 and we did some things really well and we did some things that we've learned from. So we spent basically the last 18 months transforming the whole company. New channel programs, new system integrator partnerships, new training certifying over 11,000 people in the world now, tripling the number of our solution recipes and we have transformed the management team as well. We replaced about 19 executives because we wanted the right balance of external and internal perspectives from our competitors as well as from the Lenovo and the next IBM employees. So we feel like we have a very customer-centric organization now and again, Gardner now is saying that we're growing 49% year on year in units. IDC said we're growing 87% year on year in revenue so I think customers are responding to the new product line. Over the last year, the ThinkSystem brand has really meant the highest customer performance, highest reliability, highest customer satisfaction and as a result, it does take a while to transform and I think over the last 12 months you've seen that and we're exponentially growing now as a company. And you see it in your results, they're outstanding. So, Brad, bring us inside the products a little bit. So we've got the ThinkSystem DE and DM. Of course, the storage industry, very much, they need to trust it, they need to understand it. Give us a little understand, I believe DE maybe has something to do with the E-Series there and tells the DM series what's underneath there and how do people understand what's different, what's to say. So we're taking platforms across our E-Series, our FAS and our all-flash arrays. So the DE corresponds to the E-Series, the DM will have our FAS products as well as our all-flash array products in there and so that's kind of the mapping. We're putting initially, I think, 10 products in there. We have the capacity to expand. I'm sure we're going to learn a lot because these are serving markets that NetApp doesn't typically serve. So I think not only is this going to give Lenovo the tools to compete, it's going to give us a lot of information to go even build better products, better solutions for both NetApp and our Lenovo customers. So we're super excited about that. The second thing is, it's on tap. It's the same core software and all the value and the performance testing and validation that you get with NetApp, that all goes into the Lenovo brand and products as well. And we have made it, one of our hallmarks is our data fabric. All the data services that are on top of this that you can move data and manage data between platforms, that's really important for the NetApp customer. All those values extend to the Lenovo customers. So if they also have NetApp in their environment or vice versa, they can share and move data between both those platforms. So that's nowhere else in the industries as possible across vendors, let alone within. So how does it work when you are in the product development process? Two companies both relentlessly focused on customers. This is part of your culture, part of your DNA. So how do you work together in terms of innovating and collaborating? Well I think the first thing is, if you just look at the core business, our server business and NetApp branded storage or Lenovo branded storage based on NetApp's portfolio, we're going to have a better together solution. So the first thing we're looking at is a set of solution recipes so that when you use NetApp and Lenovo together, you're going to get a better experience as a customer base. And so that's why I'm excited today. We've launched three times as many engineered solutions as we did a year ago and trained these 11,000 people because we have a very solution oriented sales force and a very complimentary channel. From a development perspective, we're going to be building X-Clarity management into our portfolio. So the same systems management software that is mission critical for Lenovo server products will now manage the ThinkSystem DE and DM products. So it's a very familiar management interface for customers. There's an engineering effort gone with that. And then on service and support, we're going to use over 10,000 people around the world that Lenovo has to go service support these products so we can deliver a premium customer experience whether you're buying the server or the storage. And back to the customer base, we're going to especially in China have deep engineering collaborations where we're walking into those customer bases and asking what's the unique about the China market? And it really helps that the two companies are very complimentary. So NetApp has deep storage expertise. Lenovo has tremendous compute expertise. So they're very complimentary and as customers want more and more complete solutions, we're learning, our engineers are learning from each other. And it doesn't hurt the fact that we have a large engineering, we NetApp have a large engineering population in the research triangle where Kurtz people are at. That's right. We're probably one kilometer away from each other in research triangle part. Geography matters. Location, location, location. No, and our two support organizations are next door as well. And so I think that proximity will only contribute to the collaboration. Yeah, exactly. All right, so the storage industry actually has a relatively good track record of some deep, long partnerships. NetApp has had a number of them over the years. Tell us what success look like if we look back three years from now, what's this partnership? Well, what we've said publicly is we plan to have a multi-billion dollar, multi-year alliance. So that's going to be fantastic as we grow in over 160 countries. We're going to use Lenovo's extensive supply chain network. So it's one of the largest kind of procurers of componentry and things around the world. We get to leverage this global factory network to build even more value into that situation. And in China specifically, we've set a goal of being a top three storage player. So today we both have probably single digit share in China, but together with this collaboration, we are setting sites quite high to be in the top three over the next several years. No, I think that's exactly right. And I think those are all achievable goals. But right now we want to get out the gate fast. I mean, this is a partnership with two companies with a lot of momentum. And I see this as a huge opportunity for both our companies to kind of amplify that momentum near term. And so while there's a lot of excitement on the future, I think success is going to look like some very exciting results that Kurt can share at Transform 3.0 next year. That's right. And for our customer base, we have already gone into production, taking orders as of today and tons of engineering, tons of manufacturing and development. So we'll have a whole host of seed units and early access units. Our customers can get their hands on this stuff right away and start testing it in their environment. As you said, it's an audacious vision. You announced an audacious vision last year. You did another one again this year. So when you think about what you want to be talking about next year, I mean, you said what success looks like. What are some other things that you're working on? You said, this is a process. Illinois has turned the corner and it's got a lot of momentum. But what else do you have on tap that you're... Well, if we told all you that you wouldn't have us here next year. But I think today is about entry and mid-range, about expanding Lenovo's breadth from 15 to 90% of the market and being very aggressive against our top competitors. They have a combined server storage portfolio. And I think as I've gone around the world, I've been in Latin America, in India. Our channel partners are incredibly excited about this. So I think while other customers might be taking business more and more direct, we've traditionally been very channel-centric. So I've seen a lot of pull for choice in the market. And I think that's what we're going to deliver to our channel partners. But we will have a lot more in store. That I can promise you. This is phase one of a multi-phase, multi-year plan. Yeah, and I think there's a lot of things on the... There's a lot of possibilities on the product development side and how we can do better products. But I think a lot of success is going to look... It's going to come in or go to market. I mean, already, Kurt, since I've been here, I've had a channel partner come up and said, hey, this makes me rethink my channel partners all over again because now that channel partner who's a Lenovo has the full breadth of the storage portfolio. So I think this is going to be really good for both of us, particularly when Lenovo and NetApp are both very channel-friendly partners and companies. And I think this is going to be a catalyst to have more people on our side than ever before. Kurt, last thing, we've spent a lot of time on the Neve. Just give you the opportunity to talk about some of the other breadth and choice and other things that Lenovo has going on. We're going to talk to some of your team about hyper-converge and hyper-scale and other hyper-things, but yeah. Sure. Well, I think the good news about our growth now is that we're doing it across multiple segments in the industry. There isn't just one part of the market that's growing. So last year, we set an audacious goal of being the largest supercomputer company in the world by 2020. We've now crossed that actually this year. So we are the largest supercomputer company in the world, about one of every four supercomputers now are there, and we're expanding that into a lot of AI offerings as well with our four artificial intelligence centers from China, Germany, Taipei, Beijing, all having customers bring their AI workloads into a controlled environment with our partners, whether it's Intel, Nvidia, or the FPGA vendors. So supercomputing's alive and well, and we continue to innovate with our warm water cooling technology that's going to be here in display. We think we're building one of the largest supercomputers in Europe right now using that technology. So not just helping solve global warming, but being more energy efficient while we're computing on that as well. In hyperscale, we've grown to now delivering six of the top 10 hyperscalers products, and we're doing that through basically starting with a white sheet of paper with our customers and building more than 30 customized products in the motherboard and the system and putting it through our entire supply chain versus just in the past maybe two years ago just leveraging maybe ODM product. So significant growth in hyperscale where we're bringing on new billion dollar customers on a regular basis now. And then in flash arrays, our traditional business we were over a 100% growth year on year. So we're building off a momentum. We had great products but only covering 15% of the market now a much larger. Last but not least, we did announce since transform new divisions in embedded and IOT as well as in telecommunications, NFV and software. And we think each of those can be billion dollar groups within Lenovo. So that's probably a lot of what we'll be talking about next year is the announcements and innovations we've had on what'll be transformed 3.0 probably..(laughs loudly.) Well we're already looking forward to the next transformation. 3.0 will be cubed, so we look forward to talking about it. Very nice, very nice, excellent. Well thank you so much, Brad and Kirk for being on the show. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. I'm Rebecca Knight for Stu Miniman. We will have more from Lenovo Transform and theCUBE's live coverage just after this.


So, now we will continue our discussion on these elements of mechatronic systems. Last time we had seen some sensor elements, right. Remember this like you can have a look at this, ok. So, let us flash through these slides and like go through, ok. So, last time we had seen these different elements of mechatronic systems and then like focused on our sensors and seen some of the classifications of the sensors based on the analog and digital output and based on the principle of operation of the sensors, ok. So, in today's class we will continue little bit of a discussion pending which is on the MEMS sensors. So, which are which are kind of these days more popular for many applications because of their cost advantages. So, the MEMS refers to microelectromechanical systems where they are fabricated by IC technology, ok. You might have seen like know this foundry is where I know these people wear this kind of a test free clothes and then like know enter the foundry and then fabricated chips. So, in that chips usually like computer chips will have only electronic components. Now, if you can imagine if your computer chip will have some kind of a mechanical kind of components then like know it refers to this MEMS technology of bulk fabrication of many many sensors at a time on the surface of a wafer, ok. So, because like know you can fabricate maybe thousands of sensors in one kind of a process its manufacturing is very easy, manufacturing cost is very low, ok. Manufacturing may not be so easy because it undergoes like you know BLSI processes which are kind of based on the equipments which are costly equipments. So, so the advantages here are like you can have integrated fabrication of sensors with both mechanical and electronic components on the same sensor then low cost of fabrication. Let me see if I can get a pointer properly laser pointer you can see low cost due to mass fabrication and the techniques and processes can be designed to create really really small systems, ok. So, this is very interesting kind of area of application or area of research also there are many interesting systems that can be developed based on this MEMS technology, ok. And one should be aware about this, ok. Some of the maybe we can reserve some separate lecture on this actually at some point in the future classes. So, where like know we can demonstrate some interesting sensors and like actuators also in the MEMS based technologies, ok. For now like know we will kind of like go forward with other kind of topics that we would like to see here, ok. So, this sensor selection again will come to this topic later on also, but we need to have some kind of a common sense understanding for sensor selections. For example, if you want to kind of get a sensor selected for a given mechatonic system see this is like a evolving design processes iterative and evolving, ok. So, you cannot immediately come up with the specifications of the sensor, but we will have some kind of idea then like know you change the like know start developing first kind of a design then with the analysis you find ok we need to fine tune some specifications like that this like a design is like evolving process for mechatonic systems. So, we have to go through this kind of a evolving process we may not have all the details at a one go, but as we start thinking about applications like know we will get to know more and more details and then we can incorporate them into the requirements and like know development selection of the sensors and things like that. So, from the systems requirement perspective you need to kind of get to the sensor requirements, ok. So, that process is maybe somewhat like know based on prior experience or maybe based on some mathematical analysis there are many different ways we can do that, ok. And again iterative way it will go, ok. So, we will go through this kind of a process sometime later, but these are some kind of a issues that one needs to be looking at for selection of sensors, ok. Then second one is a noise consideration, so if you are doing the analog sensing versus digital sensing you need to worry about a noise in that way. So, you may need to filter or you need to take care of the noise in analog domain or in the digital domain, ok. So, for example, if the wire or the sensor is already giving some kind of a noise before even getting into digital domain you may pass a sensor output through some analog filter, ok. Some simple RC kind of a circuit will take care of that. Then you of course, you will have a cost implications with this, then mathematical modeling is going to be important for simulations to kind of come up with precise specifications for your sensor. And then you typically go through manufacturer catalog and match the requirements whatever you have generated the sensor requirements, you need to be matching with manufacturers catalog and getting like selecting a proper sensor, ok. So, that is the kind of a process that goes on for the sensor selection, ok. So, we will do this process sometime later, but like you should be aware about these parts here. Then we have a next element which is actuator in the system. Now, for actuator we have lots of different kind of choices. So, from the mechatonic's perspective now I am not kind of really talking about only like many kinds of different kinds of actuators that are found in the literature, ok. We can have actuators which are like I would say servo controllable, ok that is what is important here. So, there are many many actuators that can be servo controllable possibility, but these are like some of the most popular kind of actuators. So, solenoids is one of the important class, they are used in mainly like push like they are not servo usually, so solenoids are not a servo actuators, but they are like now digital on or off kind of actuator, ok. So, they are used in many kind of you know mechatonic systems especially the process industries and things like that where you want to suddenly open a valve or close a valves which is which is not it is like a digital opening and closing or you need to remove the articles or parts from the conveyor belt which are not really suiting the you need to reject the parts from the conveyor belt, ok that kind of a actuation one can do by solenoid. So, many many different places they have applications, ok. Then AC or DC motors these are like a very important class because they are most popular actuators in mechatonic systems then you can have a stepper motors also a big class and then for the systems which are very heavy you will have or which have very high power requirements you will have hydraulic actuators and nowadays like you know very precise applications piezoelectric motors for example, autofocus cameras or DSLR cameras will have these piezoelectric motors for moving for the motion of the lens. So, you can see that very interesting sound that comes when you when the lens is focusing in your SLR camera, ok that is because of these piezoelectric motors then you may have pneumatic actuators also possibility, ok. So, we will go briefly through each of them and like not so many details, but as we go along we will get into more and more details. So, this is a motor which is DC motor along with the encoder here. So, this is what we will probably use for our programming or like you know learning the practical parts of the system, ok. So, with the Tiva board we will use this kind of a motor with the encoder attached to it for like understanding some of the fundamentals of control that this course has to offer. Now, coming to the DC motors like you know so this is you know the principle there are two primary classes which is brush type and brushless type. So, brushless types are where you use it for the applications where you need a high speed and then wide variety of these motors are available in the market, ok. The very high precision manufacturing or very high quality motors will find from the companies like Maxon or Valheber, ok. Those kind of companies will produce these motors which are very very good quality motors, but otherwise also like you know there are many many companies in the market where like you know these motors can be available and speed torque range, size, voltage ranges you will have like a lot of variety you will find with the DC motors, ok. Then stripper motors are another kind of a popular actuators for mechanical microtronic systems. They are used in the places where you do not need a sensor, ok. So, you can rely on the steps saying making sure that you know the steps are not missed in the in the drive based on the capacity. So, you choose a motor of a capacity that ok the steps would not be missed and you are kind of you know simply give so many number of steps and the application will be running smoothly. If there are like you know external loads which will prevent the steps to be slipped then like you know these actuators are not really really good, ok. So, you need to make sure that you know the torque that is required for the application is not not higher than like you know what your choice of the motor. So, motor should be given delivering like no higher torque than what application needs then they should be fine. And it the stripper motors also have this kind of a holding torque which eliminates the need for brakes if at all some application requires that again there are several constructions and configurations possible. So, we will get into some of some more details, but like we will give some kind of idea about how they work for example here. So, this operation principle is is very simple here you you excite one coil and then like now you excite the next coil the the rotor will move to the next position, ok. And then you will have a sequence of excitation of different different coils there are typically four coils in the stripper motor 1 a 1 bit way to be there are a standard kind of a terminology that is used there and these operate in a in a very different many different logics that can be possible. So, for example, in this case like maybe I will show you the the animation of the logic, ok. So, you you have only one single kind of excitation happening at a time now, ok. So, this is one kind of a mode of operation, ok. It is called full step kind of operation. Then if you see if you want like only like half of this step to be happening. So, what we can do can you think about, ok. For example, one of the ways to kind of get to like you know this microstepping modes, ok. There are different this microstepping modes can be possible. One of the ways to get to that is like you know you control the voltage itself on on each of the coils, ok. So, I will tell you how we can control the voltage and do that when we see this like half step mode you may understand things better, ok. So, half step mode you will see this is the kind of thing that will happen when this is going to happen, can you see that. So, you excite one coil and like you know other coil next to it both together, ok. So, we will make the position of the rotor into some kind of a middle position here, ok. Now, if I want to change this middle position to either side of this coil or side of that coil I can excite these two windings differentially, are you with me. So, we you should think about, ok. How can we have like you know some multiple steps possibility between the two half steps, ok. So, this is one half step up here and other half step, ok or within one full step, ok. How can I have more steps than half step possibility, ok. So, think about that it is very interesting way you can see that you know we can operate stepper motors to kind of give you really, really high resolution, although the steps are designed or like you know the motor is designed to kind of give only this single step or half step or something. We can possibly by changing the control or by changing the amount of energization of one coil versus other coil, one can kind of have like many, many different possibilities, ok. So, we will look at those possibilities again in the future when we deal with like more details about actuators, ok. There are these different applications of stepper motor, dot matrix printers nowadays these are extinct now, you might not have even heard of this name of dot matrix printers, ok. Floppy drives also are kind of extinct, it used to be in the past you have like a magnetic disk and you can drive things by, I mean store the data on the disk which is now it is all replaced by your pen drives, then lot of robots may have many, many different applications, ok. So, we will see some of them CD-ROM drives may there are some interesting way stepper motors have been used, ok. Now, we look at little bit of hydraulic actuators. So, in hydraulics you can have two possibilities, one is like a linear actuators or you can have hydraulic motors also possible, ok. So, we will see like how hydraulic motors can be made to work actually, so we will see that. Hydraulic motors actuators would be useful in the places where you need very high force and you need very high torque in very small kind of a compact environment, ok. However, they are like as you as a name suggest like no you need some kind of fluid that can be giving this pressurized fluid which can be giving this actuation. So, you need this entire system of like you know oil tank and like oil pressurization and things like that, ok. So, that entire system needs to be there together then you will have like very high forces and tors in a small place that can be possibility. Because of the high tors naturally like they will be very fast they will having relatively low inertia and very fast response, ok. There are many different hydraulic motors possible with the principles like you know the Bain motors is one of the ways that you can have hydraulic motors created or you have axial piston motor or slush plate motor, ok. So, you like you know just google about this and you will see how these motors these hydraulics are working. The applications will be to you say mainly in the conveyor belts or earth moving machinery here like big machinery where you want to kind of dig out some things and those very high forces are needed there that is where you use these hydraulic actuators, ok. So, this is one of the you know open up picture of hydraulic actual piston motor. So, you can see that pistons are up here and they are like operating this swash plate here. This swash plate is like a rotary plate with the pistons which are coming at an angle. So, you can imagine when this piston is pushed here the torque which will be created will push the shaft it will rotate the shaft in this direction, ok. And once that piston is in its end position then like you know the hydraulic force will be removed here and then the next piston will be operated, ok. And then the next piston in this position will be again pushing this to the end position and again this operation continues with multiple pistons that are there and the way this motor is rotated, ok. So, very high force can be applied here with the high pressure of the oil that is there in the piston, ok. And then that can be controlled in by using some hydraulic servo valves, ok. So, that is another kind of element that will be needed in the system to that is our electromechanical interface to these actuators, ok. Alright, some applications here, ok. The last element, ok, is controller, ok. So, we will talk briefly about controller again. I am just giving you some more brief overview of things where we have to talk a lot more details as we go along in the course, ok. So, but this is some kind of a like you know brief idea you should have in your mind to kind of slowly start understanding like more and more details about, ok. So, argument there is a questions based on this to think about and then like we will take up these questions as we as we go along that will be a good way to kind of understand things better. So, controller is also very important element of the electronic system. So, why is controller design, ok, can lead to substantial savings in the cost, ok. So, I will see some examples and understand this part. This is very, very important point that we need to be aware about that, you know the way you design control, ok, would have a lot of cost implications, ok. See controllers for example, used in hydraulic, used in hard disk drives, ok, they have been designed to kind of perform really, really well in a with a so, which will not demand a lot of investment into the sophisticated nature of the arm that is there for the hard disk drive to. See this arm positioning on the surface of hard disk drive is extremely high precision kind of application is required there. But the way the controllers and in general mechanical system is developed like you can have that at a very low cost that can be possible. And maybe we will have some chance of looking at a hard disk drive little more in detail as we go along. Then there are different kinds of algorithms that can be possible, ok. So, some of the algorithms are listed here, but they are not a complete list. You have, you will have lot of lot of possibilities in this domain, ok, tons of papers, tons of literature is published on the control algorithms for many different applications. Then you can have a types of algorithm based on the implementation class, ok. So, you can have analog domain implementation or digital domain implementation like that you can have controller developed in different domains, mostly like know when we talk about mechanical system will chiefly consider this digital domain implementation by using microcontroller or microprocessor. And analog domain also is possibility, but we will see like know whenever like we have some simple kind of controllers implemented then like know analog domain can be ok, some kind of a PDPID kind of controllers we can implement by using these opams basically opam circuitry. But then we cannot change the gains on the fly, there are some disadvantages to the system, but as long as we know that ok this is what we want finally and this fix is not going to change ever then like know analog domains controllers are not a problem. But digital domain nowadays like know are available at very low cost of people I don't think are going to the analog domain kind of circuits these days. Very advantage analog domain will give is is like know the continuous domain implementation or application, which is not possible in digital domain we need to have some kind of a sampling done for getting the digital domain implementation in place, ok. So, there are some design analysis issues for controllers which we have to again deal with anyway in the in the in the great details later, ok. So, I think maybe we will stop here.


Great readers are great leaders. You've heard that before, but how true is that? Some researchers claim that the average CEOs read 52 books in a year. It goes without saying that that explains why most of the CEOs know much more than their employees.  And there is no other way to be a head than to be well informed through great books. I told you about when I was appointed to lead a group of intelligent people who are far ahead of being smartness and knowledge. Well, I got to reading profusely until I started to sweat in my brain. Before long, I was doing better and leading these people as best as I could. Excellence comes through being well informed. If you're not knowledgeable, you will be outperformed. And when you're outperformed continuously, you become obsolete. If there is a discussion that keeps me bustling all the time, it's the discussion on books I may be tired and weak. But when it's time to discuss books, especially with other book lovers, I am always excited. In today's video, I will be sharing with you 5 free books that award much more than a university degree. If you're new here, subscribe to this channel and click on the notification button so you don't miss any exciting videos. 1. Think and Grow Reach Think and Grow Reach by Napoleon Hill considers the psychological power of thought and the brain to help you build your career for monetary and personal satisfaction. Initially published in 1937. This is an all-time self-help classic. And it must read for investors and entrepreneur types. Think and Grow Reach is a state of the mind. The book looks at the power of thought to manifest strong desires and the definite purpose into reality. It is not easy to turn your passion into reality. However, if the desire is strong and you're willing to raise the bar, you will win. Napoleon Hill projects this formula for success. Desire plus ideas, plus plans, plus massive action equals success. 2. The Science of Getting Rich In this book, author Wallace D. Waddles explains a simple method to achieve abundance. Thinking act creatively to add value to others. Mr. Waddles reveals that money is a medium of value. So the more value you provide to others, the more value you get back in the form of cash. Waddles' action steps teach you how to maximize the value you offer other people. The first action step is to develop a clear vision of what you want. Instead of fire, aim ready. The sequence should be ready, aim fire. What is your specific plan to realize your vision? Are you taking action before you have clearly thought through what to do? There are all kinds of ways to make money. The most important question for you to answer is, what are you going to do differently and better than anyone else in your industry? The book also emphasizes the idea of creating instead of competing. When you're focused on your competition, then you're not creating. You're just reacting. The book highlights other steps to help you build a life of wealth. 3. Idea Virus This book by marketing guru, Seth Goodot, is one of the best materials ever written in marketing. Its premise is that the age of interruption marketing, where companies bombard you with adverts in the middle of your favorite TV show, is phasing out. Marketing by interrupting people isn't cost effective anymore. Today, you'll waste marketing money. If you only seek out people and send them on wanted marketing messages, in large groups, and hope that some will send you money. Instead, the future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market. You have to discover and unleash the idea that naturally attracts people to you. This is where the Idea Virus comes in. An Idea Virus is a big idea that runs while across your target audience. It's a fashionable idea that propagates through a section of the population, teaching and changing and influencing everyone it touches. You know Hotmail, right? Well, Hotmail never run a lot of TV ads. It just became popular. iPhone and Apple products rarely make TV ads. The Apple products line is an Idea Virus in itself. People catch on whether Apple decides to market it or not. This is the premise of the Idea Virus by Seth Goodot. Find an idea people will be willing to die for, and you will never waste your time pleading for the audience with your hard-earned money. What millions of ad money should do for you? A great idea will do for you. The book, Idea Virus, is available for free on the Internet. 4. Purple Cow This is another remarkable book by Seth Goodot. The Purple Cow is an inspiring, self-help book for entrepreneurial marketers who want to be different. Goodot offers practical tips to make your brand remarkable through innovation, using the illustration of a herd of white cows and a single purple cow. Your natural instinct is to focus on that purple cow and ignore those white cows. Purple Cow argues that the only way to stand out from other businesses today is to innovate something new, unique and remarkable in the world of smartphones, laptops and other devices. Apple Inc. differentiated itself by creating a sleek and expensive brand. Goodot points out that 80% of the 30 US top 100 brand list succeed by word of mouth around what they sell rather than through advertising. Successful brands like IKEA, Starbucks, SAP, Krispy Kreme, JetBlue, Google, are all built on remarkable products that people loved and talked about.  This book is available for free on the Internet. 5. How to Win Friends and Influence People How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dil Carnegie is a self-help classic that reads as a life manual. The core idea is that you can change other people's behavior only by changing your own. It teaches you the principles to better understand people, become a more likeable person, improve relationships, win others over, and influence behavior through leadership. When dealing with people, let us remember we're not dealing with creatures of logic. We're dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. The first time I read this book, I was shy and quite afraid to meet people. However, after reading the book, I became so confident and started to make a lot of friends in the same week, get a book of audio or text format free on the Internet. If this video inspired you, share it with your friends. We love you.


This morning you spoke of the cosmic Christ as reality. You're something like that Would you please say more about that because cosmic Christ has always struck me as very Triumphant Christian imperialism. That's clearly not how you're using. No, no, not at all. No Remember when I said that this notion of Christ is not in competition with anything because it includes everything All right, that's why I say the Christ symbol is not now Limited to the Jewish Jesus which did I will be very orthodox I still believe Jesus is the image of the invisible God I still believe in the divinity of Christ if you stay with me you'll find out I'm quite conservative, right and Ironically, it's that conservative holding on to the essentials the essentials Which allows me to blow the whole thing wide open if you keep it there. So the cosmic Christ is As soon as matter and spirit Became one now. We're the first generation that has a word for that.  I don't know if time even means anything But God decided to show himself herself itself To manifest the innards of God and that's creation So the early Franciscans insisted that the first Bible was creation And now that is in Romans 120 if you want to check it out, right? That is in the Bible the everything you need to know is in the created universe And they said that if we if we didn't respect the first Bible Created world if we didn't learn how to Contemplatively honor animals and plants and waters and skies and this magnificence that's around us every day We would murder and mangle the second book The second book is that maybe a little over two thousand years old But the first Bible is 14 billion years old. That's the cosmic Christ So Jesus is the personification. This is Christian belief. You're not Christian. You don't have to believe it Yet it coheres though. It holds a lot together Jesus is the personification in a moment of time when we were ready for an eye-vowel Relationship I think when consciousness had evolved enough that we could fall in love with something somebody He became the human eyes and face of this Infinite eternal Christ which is creation. So the cosmic Christ is saying as Colossians and Ephesians say the Christ existed from all eternity Jesus was created in a moment of time Christ is creation part of what you're saying. Yes, not part. Yeah, that's it And that's a lot If any of you think I'm I'm making less of Jesus you're not hearing me If you think I'm taking away your Jesus this makes Jesus far more central the alpha and the omega You know of history that's saying here's where it came from divine love and here's where we return to divine love As Tayard says the Christ stands at the end of history seducing it forward into love Good stuff back here


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here this past Thursday Jordan Peele revealed to us Horror fans fans of Jordan Peele in general I guess if you're just someone who watches his horror films and nothing else He revealed to us at the title of his upcoming film that he's been working on is Nope, and it's coming out July 22nd of 2022 that part We kind of know have known about but we didn't know any plot specifics. We didn't know the title We have had some rumors about the cast and that's now officially been confirmed with the very first poster that Jordan Peele Revealed to us via his Twitter this past Thursday Actually, I'm just realized he revealed it a literal whole one year before the film's release So the poster is very interesting In the poster we have confirmed now these names as a lot of us have been speculated on we know that Daniel Calua will be in The film Kiki Palmer had already been confirmed I believe earlier in the year so this only Submits her participation in the film and then you have Steven a.k.a. Glenn from The Walking Dead Steven Young or you However, he pronounced his last name. I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong, but I Just wanted to share my thoughts on what I think is happening with this film as if you saw in the thumbnail We're gonna be talking about the Peele universe and what I think is happening with these movies that he's doing now I do want to just start out by saying that I know get out was like his breakthrough film Jordan Peele definitely surprised me with that because I grew up watching Key and Peele in high school late middle school Definitely watch Key and Peele. So then when I saw the trailer for get out I was kind of floored by that trailer and then the then I saw the movie and I'm like whoa He he actually really did that he he went out of his out of his comedic His comedic element and he gave you some satirical notes, of course were featured in get out and in us But when it comes time for the the hardcore thriller and horror aspects of it He put on a film that's very terrifying for some people if you want to just be honest Some people probably found this a lot more terrifying than others the subject matter and the social commentary that it deals with Of course related to some of the things going on in America today and just how some of the Social climates continue to change and how they're not really changing. Some people are kind of masking their Hatred for others etc. etc. All that stuff is kind of touched on with these movies We know that in get out spoilers ahead I guess if you haven't seen get out has been out for about four years now at this point But in that film we know that we're dealing with the order of coagula and they're wanting to Mess with black bodies because they feel that blacks have the genetic advantage and they're trying to achieve immortality and Take that genetic advantage that they feel they should have because they again feel that blacks have the genetic advantage And in their eyes, they don't see themselves as being racist because of that because they are putting black bodies on a pedestal They have some type of sick fetish for the black body this stems of course from Some Olympic competition that happened regarding I'm forgetting his name, but it's an actual an actual person I'm forgetting his name some Olympic competition where the grandfather had Felt that he lost because the black guy had the genetic advantage and that's where this whole thing started from now the order of coagula We know that this is a order that Goals beyond this family that we saw the Armitage family that we saw there's other people We saw them there at the auction trying to auction for Chris's body and everything that goes into Chris and these other people That were there with them trying to get trying to a bid on Chris So we know that there's more than just the Armitage family But we don't really get to see that aspect of it because those people are gone by the end of the film once we get into the final act I'm leaning towards the idea that maybe nope is somehow a continuation to get out because of the fact that We don't know too much. He's being very tight-lipped about the plot Daniel Kahlua is back. That's the really the only solid proof that we have that this is tied to get out Or could potentially be tied to get out. Daniel Kahlua could of course just be back playing a different character and Also on top of that if he is in fact returning to play Chris Kiki Palmer could be his girlfriend And then the poster in and of itself It looks like it's reminding me of movies like the blob and invasion of the body snatchers Honestly, those are the first two movies that I thought of But let's say that that's just nothing more than just a Metaphor for something else is going on in the film. There's no actual aliens going on But maybe the order of coagula is up to no good and this in this little town That it looks like they have going on in this poster This is where more members of the order order of coagula have gone to To now get Chris and his girlfriend who now live in this little area They've tracked him down and they're going to come for Chris And they are going to take what they want from Chris at another bid that they are going to have Somewhere else outside of this town after they abduct him once again But the other thing to consider of course is the idea that we're dealing with an alien horror movie from Jordan Peele So the reason I'm leaning on this shared cinematic universe is because of an interview that he had back with Kevin McCarthy Back when get out had first come out He stated that he put some he put some Easter eggs in there And he'll probably continue to weave in the universe in his next movie so The word universe is the thing to hold on to there That's where I'm getting my idea that he's trying to create some sort of shared universe Daniel Kahlua being back again doesn't mean that he can't come back and play a different character But you know if you're really if you really are doing a shared universe I feel like a lot of people will find it bizarre to have the same actor Playing a different character in what's supposed to be a shared universe not that that's not possible because again This is movie magic suspension of disbelief, but Daniel Kahlua being back is Giving me some inclination or ideas that Chris is somehow involved with the movie Nope, and we're gonna catch up with Chris Maybe catch up with the order of coagula and maybe even take it a bit further as to the stuff That not only the order of coagula is doing but other people affiliated with them are doing as it relates to maybe racial tensions in In this country or other stuff that's going on There's sure to be some type of social commentary obviously with Jordan Peele once again just like he had it with us I don't think this movie will be connected to us I think the shared universe that he's going to be trying to create or start out with will be tying this movie to get out I don't think he's gonna tie it to us There might be nods to us But I don't think us will necessarily be a part of this shared universe that I feel like is going to start with the movie nope That's one idea because with us things just became too complicated Things just became too complicated too messy not a lot of things were very coherent there But with get out there was more so just things that were left unanswered that I feel like if he's taking that route with Nope will get answered and expand on the order of coagula But let me know what you guys think about Jordan Peele's upcoming film down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notification and miss a video in the description I have links on my social media accounts my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there of course There's any movies news or views you'd like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
