Hi everybody. So I'm about to upload a YouTube video. So I figured I might as well walk you through how I upload a YouTube video I usually do this from my computer because I usually use zoom to record my most of my videos Yeah, and even if I use my phone to record my my portrait mode videos I My phone uploads it to Google photos and then I download it on my computer from Google photos to my computer And I upload it anyway, so I'm about to let me just go ahead and show you how I upload a YouTube video So first thing I do is I go to YouTube Com slash upload. Did you know that? Okay YouTube comm slash Com slash upload there you go and this automatically brings you into your account now You might want to check here look at your yourself in the top right if you're not sure you can exit out Just to make sure you're in the right place The right account anyway, you might have various accounts You might need to switch accounts, but make sure it's the correct one and you can also just click create from YouTube studio That's the same thing YouTube comm slash upload or click create. Okay I'm just gonna click create and then click upload video. This is this is this is where YouTube comm slash upload brings us All right, let's go to select files and I'm gonna select the one that I just made It's this one double-click now People are gonna say well George you're supposed to name the video file because somehow that helps no Over the years like I said, I've uploaded almost 2,000 videos to YouTube And I have not noticed a single lick of difference with the file name Versus non file name The video title obviously is extremely important, but the file name itself has not mattered for visibility as far as I can tell So anyway, let's let's go the the title obviously is very important I talked about Titling and descriptions in other segments. I just wanted to walk you through the rest of the typical Uploading settings. So I'm just gonna quickly name this right now. I'm gonna change it later, but I'm gonna say Create urgently and this is literally what I my my My videos about today. So and then no notice that the thumbnail is still processing and What I often do if I'm gonna select one of the thumbnails I'll often go through the rest of the process first and then later come back to details to choose a thumbnail in this case I actually created a thumbnail image. So I'm gonna click on upload thumbnail and then I'm going to select the This one here that I already created and there it is But wow, it's pretty fast. They already gave me a thumbnail that I can choose But anyway, I uploaded it if for some reason you want a different one You can always click on the three dots there and click change or I don't know why you would download it because you upload yourself But anyway, maybe in the future when you come back and it's like, oh, I want that image again, but Anyway, so I've done that again. I'll I'll skip the Titling instructions right now and in description instructions These were automatically put in because of my basic info settings on my channel settings basic info You can put in what what the description is and and then of course I can go in and edit What I want on top of the description on top of that basic template info I can delete the template info if I want to or I can put something below it. Anyway, it's it's all it's all optional I'm just for now going to I'll do a deal with that later. Alright, so playlists. This is important as well I'll probably do a separate segment about playlists But I do try to put my videos into playlists where I can you know where I can think of oh, that's a relevant one So this one is definitely about creating and I have named my playlist with my main playlists I have had a gk in the front So it makes it makes it easy for me to type and find it again because I have so many playlists. So Consistent creating. I'm just gonna add that one. You can do multiple playlists A video can go on multiple playlists if you want it to but I'm just gonna for this case. I'm gonna just add one. Okay No, it's not made for kids. We talked about that in the different video But made for kids means it goes through additional legal requirements so that it's like, you know legally viewable to kids We are making videos for adults not adult entertainment, right? But maybe some of you I don't know But no anyway, please do not do yes made for kids unless you want the additional compliance issues that come with that So no, it's not made for kids unless you know unless you are but no, it's not me for kids most of us Age restriction again. Don't don't don't do that. I'm gonna move myself over to the middle here Or to the right I guess over here Whatever, okay. I'll move it myself over here for now and then click show more Okay, I'm gonna do that and I scroll down my video contains paid promotion. Okay, so this is a tricky one You know what I'm not gonna talk about that right now I'm gonna skip that do that in separate video, but I usually don't keep it checked allow automatic chapters I usually keep it checked I know there are you know, there's advice out there that don't don't don't make it automatic They they do a poor job of it, but I don't know I mean AI is gonna get better I think it's it does it doesn't do as good of a job as if you put in chapters yourself But I'm I always keep it checked for now I can always remove it later if I want to make my own chapter So I keep it checked in case in case it ends up being pretty good in case they end up doing it I always uncheck automatic places unless I literally am making a video where I'm traveling somewhere And I don't mind YouTube automatically tagging the restaurant I'm in front of or the the landmark I'm in front of but most of us usually just make make videos In our neighborhood right or in our home. We don't want YouTube to tag certain neighborhood landmarks or whatever. So uncheck that Because I have had weird taggings on my thing based on automatic places, and it was really weird It was featuring some other YouTube video YouTube channel that had a place on Google Maps or whatever anyway Automatic concepts. I keep that checked. It's still an experimental thing But and some people will complain that all YouTube doesn't really understand concepts And anyway, I'm keeping a check for now because I'm interested in what happens tags. Do not matter anymore I'm gonna skip this for now Except for if YouTube frequently in in the subtitles misspells a word that you say or a name that you say Like George Cowell for example those do COW. So I always put George Cowell in there as a tag This is also set in the channel settings area. Anyway, I'll skip that for now, but it does not matter for visibility It's really more for like the subtitle Spelling correctly. Anyway, let me keep going language and captions These things I usually keep default So just leave it at that. I think I made a video about those channel settings elsewhere. This all comes from the channel defaults Recording date and location. I usually keep this blank. It doesn't really matter unless yeah, I don't anyway I'm gonna skip this for now. It really doesn't matter in my experience License distribution. I usually keep it on creative commons I Recommend that because it allows other people to use your videos I hope you're okay with that if other people want to feature a clip of your video Would you be okay with that if you are keep it at creative commons? If you for some reason aren't then you got to make it standard YouTube license But I prefer creative commons. So allow embedding I don't see why not if someone wants to embed my video on their channel or on their website. Oh great wonderful, right? The only case yeah, I'm just gonna skip this for now. I think by default. It's fine Publish okay. This is important publish the subscriptions feed and notify subscribers If this is one of my main videos that I want that I think is relevant for most of my subscribers I keep it checked Sometimes I make YouTube videos that I want to be found by search But I think most of my subscribers probably I don't care that they see it for example Most most my videos are about authentic business authentic marketing Sometimes I make tech tutorials that I don't really want to notify my whole subscriber base Hey, here's a tech tutorial. It's not relevant to my overall topic or I often I've been uploading videos about spiritual growth onto my YouTube channel. I probably should do a separate YouTube channel That's a separate topic we can talk about different segment, but I've been uploading to my same YouTube channel So I I uncheck it when it's a tech tutorial or a spiritual video that is not Relevant to most of my subscribers not relevant to my business that I'm building. I will uncheck that so that they don't get a Notification they might still see it in the home feed They can watch it if they're like a like a big fan They can watch my other videos, but most of them won't be bothered by this But if it's a main video like this one where it's related to my business Related to the topics that are related to my business. I'm not selling anything in this video But anyway, I do want most of my subscribers to know to be notified that this exists if they're if they're getting notifications on my channel shorts remixing I don't see why not Basically allowing other people to create short videos that are they take clips of your video. I mean gosh great They want if they if they like if they like my stuff enough anyway, I say allow category I have found Most of us are probably just people and blogs honestly You can try anything else, but you can basically go to some of these Anyway, I'm gonna skip this. This is gonna get too complicated Basically, it doesn't matter that much. It doesn't I haven't noticed any difference when I change the category So I'm gonna say just keep people and blogs. Most of us are are are fit in that category. Just just fine Comments and ratings on I don't see why not unless someone is a politician or they're really popular And they get trolls or whatever comment moderation will skip this This is for most of us just on and none is just fine. Okay, it's better that way Sort by top. It's just fine. Show how many viewers just fine Skip the fundraising thing. That's that's fine. Let's move on to the next. Let's click next here Okay monetization. I usually select off when I select on is After the fact that my video is going viral. It's getting thousands of views or tens of thousands of views I'll come back and and cut I'll come back to this the settings of this the video and I'll turn on monetization Because then I'll actually start to make money. But before your video gets to like Tens of tens of thousands of views the monetization is a few dollars It's like is it really worth like bothering your your viewer with ads for a few dollars? No So it's like once gets tens of thousands of views or definitely hundreds of thousands of views You want to turn on monetization because now you're gonna be earning hundreds of dollars for that video So I would say off. Don't bother your your viewers with ads for most of your videos probably Let's click next All right now This is also helpful Skip subtitles for now because YouTube has its own subtitle generation that takes about Half an hour at least sometimes they take several hours before they could generate it's all done automatically in the background You don't have to do anything. Okay music license again Most of us aren't playing music in our videos if you are you need to add music license because Otherwise you'll get your video will get taken down Skip the tag products for now We'll talk about that in some other in some other segment if that's if that's relevant for some of you and screen I think it's important ad cards can be important I will talk about these in separate videos because that's gonna take too long. I'm just gonna show you how I usually upload Yeah, again, I'll address this in a separate video But for me, it's easy because I've done an end screen before if you've done an end screen before that you want to Just keep the same for all your videos and you can click import from video and and then you gotta click it again And I've already done videos like this So for my previous video, it's just similar to this has end screens that I like anyway I will talk about end screen in a separate segment. I just want to show you this is what I do when I upload a video I just import it from the previous one where I have an end screen. I click save and Then there it is it's added. I'm gonna click next and the checks basically. This is about music licensing It doesn't matter for most of us click next and then visibility This is obviously important because it starts off as unlisted which means that nobody will find your video Unless you only the people you send the link to will find your video. That's not That's not good for your visibility, obviously. So setting up public means it's instantly on YouTube now Now I Usually schedule my videos because I have a rhythm of publishing my YouTube videos That's something we could talk about separately if you want to but I I'm gonna schedule this for Monday So I'm just gonna click on Monday and yes, some people say oh, you got to figure out You know use your analytics to see when your viewers are typically viewing and set it to the right time I don't know. I honestly don't think that matters as much as some YouTube advisors are saying because how many times have you seen YouTube videos? Suggested to you that were days ago or even years ago Frequently frequently so it's not as big of a deal as it's they make it out to be I'm just gonna leave it alone because the thing is when it's set for that day You want because that that day is gonna be the date of the video from now on it was published on January 22nd So I want the entire day to have the chance for any of my viewers to see it So the January 22nd day will be the longest possible day I want for the viewership to be possible. So anyway, I'm whatever said says permit We can talk about this in a separate thing. I don't usually do that I think it's kind of a little bit cheesy except for major events.  Okay schedule. There it is Congratulations You can now click on copy video link to share it if you're publishing a video right now on YouTube instead of scheduling it It's probably a good idea to share it with a couple supporters. For example our YouTube course Facebook group And who knows a couple people might view it click like on it Etc. If you have a couple of supporters that you like to you know to celebrate with and send your videos Hey, I would love your support watch the video click like if you do You know any feedback you know that kind of thing if it's instantly published, of course mine is not instantly published I uploaded it, but it's it's not published till January 22nd as it says here So I'm not gonna share it right now So I'm gonna just click close for now and then this will show up in your YouTube studio and under here It says it's scheduled here and monetization is off Etc. Etc. Obviously zero views yet this hasn't been published, but in the future I can come back and edit this the settings if I want to so Super long video. I hope this is helpful though, and if you have any questions comment below I probably have some other segment later in the course about your questions, but feel free to ask below. Thanks


Which franchise is more historic between the Patriots and the Steelers? Now this is interesting not because it's difficult, like it's the Steelers, but it's interesting because I don't think people quite realize how, like, not close this is.  That's one of the longest stretches in sports history. But at its core, I look at the Patriots' dynasty as two guys, which is just Belicheck and Brady. You can sprinkle in a Gronk, a Randy Moss, an Edelman, a Wes Welker, whatever. But if you look at the Steelers' dynasty, it's like 50 years of consistently good ownership management and coaching. And you can't find that pretty much anywhere else. Since 1972, the Steelers have 32 playoff appearances. They've only missed the playoffs 18 times in the last 50 years, and they've only missed it more than two years in a row twice. It's usually a safe bet that even if you think the Steelers are going to be bad, they're probably still going to be relevant. They're just always good.


To have some fun while learning thermodynamics, I have tried to show the same state space using a software package known as Blender. It is an open source software package using which you can do very nice animations. So here we have the same system gas in a cylinder, the same state shown nicely in the 3-dimensional state space where the 3 coordinates are pressure, temperature and mass. You can see the rectangular parallelo prepet and hence the values of the pressure coordinate which will be 20 bar, the temperature coordinate which will be 14 degree C and the mass coordinate which will be 20 kilogram. So this is the state space and this is our thermodynamic state of our system represented by this orange point. It is not always necessary nor is it very convenient to use a 3-dimensional state space. Quite often it is sufficient to represent it just on two dimensions and we can have our state space and the state projected on any two-dimensional projection. For example, we can have the pressure-temperature projection. You will see the pressure-temperature projection here. Mass is not directly represented, alternatively we could have the mass-temperature projection. Here because the axis are mass and temperature, the pressure component is not projected. The third possibility is the pressure mass projection. Here you will notice that the two axis which remain are pressure and mass. The temperature axis does not get represented. I hope with this blender animation we are sure of what we mean and appreciate by thermodynamic state space. Thank you.


Everybody forced here up in 2022 and see football hobby four bucks full case number 41 random teams You'd find the results on your screen anytime late sports commas go ahead and get started Persils are full guys Geez dude busy day.

We are behind so no recap on that one moving on to the next case. Thank you Thank you


Please welcome Adam and Tom. So we're actually some of the students that make up a small fraction of the graphic novel project. Adam and Tom, or at least Adam, are out in the audience right now. They provided a lot of guidance for us. So this project brought together very academically diverse group of people. So I'm Adam Cole. I'm studying biology at Stanford. I'm Albert Lai. I'm currently studying the science, technology, and society. Hi, I'm Joy Henry. I study chemistry. And I'm Rianne Westerland. I studied English and creative writing. I'm just going to tell you a little bit about the graphic novel project. So the objective of the course is to collaboratively create a graphic novel in six weeks, which for us turned into six months. The only stipulations were it had to be a story sourced in the real world. It should be a story that needed to be told, should make a positive impact, and it should be something that was fun to illustrate. So Virunga was the chosen story. It was inspired by a BBC article that I read about Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa. And the eastern region of the DRC, which is where Virunga is located, is the site of the world's deadliest conflict since World War II. And the article that I read focused on park rangers who risked their lives to protect the wildlife there, including a huge population of mountain gorillas. And so at the time of the article, several of the gorillas had been murdered, not poached, but shot and left for the rangers to discover for no apparent reason. But this is the backdrop around which we created our characters for rangers, including a female ranger who was modeled after the first female ranger in Virunga and Malika, who was an 11-year-old girl living in a refugee camp on the edge of Virunga. So creating the plot and writing the dialogue collaboratively was extremely difficult for the writers, even in small teams. But the result was a story that would not be as extraordinary as it is without each and every one of our talents.  But it's also Malika's story.  So it's a story of hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. So we're going to take you through a bit of our process doing the graphic novel. Because of our crazy time constraints, all the writers first got together and we sketched out an entire plot and divided it up into acts with which there are a couple of plot points to hit. This led us to split up into two different groups, each of which we could work on acts simultaneously. What I have up on the screen right now is actually one of our first drafts of Act 3. You can sort of figure that out by the sort of ant-filled plant insertion in the middle over there. But we try to blaze through the act, try to hit the plot points, and figure out what we want the characters to do and where we want them to be. At this point, we don't really pay attention to the sort of important stuff like characterization, pacing, or whether they could actually feasibly display this in a graphic novel format. But once we figure this out, we sort of go through it, go through our second pass through our writers and sort of decide what we want to do with the characters. We tidy up the dialogue, we fix the stage directions, and we sort of make it flow much better, make it come alive. After this, we sort of pass it on to thumbnails who then decide how it's actually presented. Right, so at the beginning of the quarter, about a third of us were on the thumb nailing team, and so we would take the script that the writers had created that you can see up on the right side of the screen here and sort of map it out in a storyboard fashion. And then each of the dialogue bits are numbered and placed in this thumbnail. So the idea is the thumbnails are an intermediate step in between the writers and illustrators. And so hopefully, if the thumbnails have done their job, an illustrator will look at this page and know the basic positions of all the characters, where they're going to be, who we're looking at, and what they're saying. And so to sort of streamline this, we did all our pages on a two by three grid, basically. There was a lot of variation from that, but this was our basic setup. So once the thumbnail is sent on to an illustrator, this page becomes this page. And you can see we have the characters in basically the positions. And so this is all penciled in. And the dialogue is added by hand. And then through the inking process, we get to this, a finished inked page with none of the words added. So once we get to this page, the artists are more or less finished with the project. This is then given to me, who I scan the pages into the computer at a high resolution and sort of help out the artist a bit by spot what's in what we call spotting the blacks, which are some of the pages you see that are filled in black and it's laborious for the artists to sort of color that in themselves. So I can help them out by adding it digitally. After scanning it in, we then import it into a PDF, where we finally sort of add the text into the project and sort of this is what the printer sees. The file we use is anime ace two. And I think we're all very pleased with how it turned out. Yeah. So yeah, we actually, this is today, we got for the first time, it's the first time we've held this book in our hands. So we're all very excited. So yeah, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.


Live from Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCube, covering Spark Summit East 2017, brought to you by Databricks. Now, here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and George Gilbert. Welcome back to Boston, everybody. This is theCube, the leader in live tech coverage. We're here in Boston at Snowy Boston. This is Spark Summit. Spark Summit does an East Coast version. They do a West Coast version. They've got one in Europe this year. TheCube has been a partner with Databricks as the live broadcast partner. Our friend, Bill Peterson is here. He's the head of partner marketing at MapR. Bill, good to see you again. Thank you, thanks for having me. So, how's the show going for you? Give us the vibe, we're kind of winding down day two. It is, the show's been great. We've got a lot of traffic coming by, a lot of deep technical questions, which is, you know- Hard core. It is, which is, you know, so I spend a lot of time there smiling and going, yeah, talk to him. But it's great, you know, we're getting those deep technical questions and it's great. We actually just got one on Luster, which, you know, I had to think for a minute. Oh, HPC, right? Yeah. It was like way back in there. I don't craze on the floor. Yeah, that's true. But a lot of our customers as well, you know, so United Health Group, Wells Fargo, AMEX coming by, which is great to see them and talk to them, but also they've got some deep technical questions for us. So it's moving the needle with existing customers, but also new business, which is great. So I can ask a basic question. Yeah. What is MAPR, right? MAPR started in the early days, the Hadoop Distro vendor, one of the big three. When somebody says to you, what is MAPR? What do you say? My answer today is MAPR is an enterprise software company that delivers a converged data platform. That converged data platform consists of a file system, a NoSQL database, a Hadoop distribution, a Spark distribution, and a set of data management tools. And as a customer of MAPR, you get all of those. You can turn them all on if you'd like. You can just turn on the file system, for example, if you wanted to just use the file system for storage. But the enterprise software piece of that is all the hardening we do behind the scenes on things like snapshots, mirroring, data governance, multi-tenancy, ease of use, performance, all of that baked into the solution or the platform as we're calling it now. So as you were kind of alluding to, a year ago now, we kind of got out of that business of saying, okay, we're, you know, lead 100% with Hadoop, and then while we have your attention, or if we don't, oh, hey, we got all this other stuff in the basket we want to show you. We went the platform play and said, we're going to include everything, and it's all there, and then the baseline underneath is the hardening of it, you know, the file system, the database, and the streaming product, actually, which I didn't mention, which is kind of the core, and everything plays off of there. And that, honestly, has been really well-received, and it just, I feel, makes it so much easier because it happened here, we get the question, okay, how are you different from Cloudera or Hortonworks? And some of it here, given the nature of the attendees, is very technical, but there's been a couple of business users that I've talked to, and when I talk about us as an enterprise software company delivering a plethora of solutions versus just Hadoop, you can see the light going on sometimes in people's eyes, and I got it today earlier. I had no idea you had a file system, which to me just drives me insane because the file system is pretty cool, right? Well, and you guys are early on and investing in that file system and recovery capabilities and all the... Two years in stealth writing it. Nasty, gnarly, hard stuff that was kind of poo-pooed early on, but MapR was never patient about waiting for the sort of open source community to just figure it out and catch up. You always just said, all right, we're going to solve this problem and go sell. And I'm glad you said that. I want to be clear, we're not given up on open source or anything, right? That's, open source is still a big piece. 50% of our engineer's time is working on open source projects, right? That's still super important to us. And then back in November-ish last year, we announced the MapR ecosystem packs, which is our effort to help our customers that are using open source components to stay current, right? Because that's a pain in the butt, right? So this is a set of packages that have a whole bunch of components. We lead with Spark and Drill, and that was by customer requests that they were having a hard time keeping current with Spark and Drill. So the packs allow them to come up to current level within the Converge data platform for all of their open source components. And that's something we're going to do dot levels. So I think we're at 2.1 or 2 now. The dot levels will bring you up on everything. And then the big ones like the 3.0s, the 4.0s will bring Spark and Drill current. And so we're going to kind of leapfrog those. So that's still a really important part of our business, and we don't want to forget that part. But what we're trying here to do is via the platform is deliver all of that in one entity, right? So yeah, the Converge data platform is relevant, presumably because you've got the history of Hadoop, because you've got all these different components, and you've got a cobbling together, and there are different interfaces, and different environments, you're trying to unify that, and you have unified that, right? So what is your customer feedback with regard to the Converge data platform? Yeah, so it's a great question because for existing customers, it was like, thank you, right? It was one of those, right? Because we're listening. Actually, again, glad you said that. This week in addition to Spark Summit, we're doing our yearly customer advisory board. So we've got like a lot of vendors, we've got a 30 plus company customer advisory board that we bring in and we sit down with them for a couple of days and they give us feedback on what we should and shouldn't be doing and where directional and all that, which is super important. And that's where a lot of this Converge data platform came out of is the need for, you know, there's just too much. It's kind of confusing. We would, and then, you know, I'll give the example of Streams, right? We came out with our streaming product last year and, you know, okay, you've got, I'm using Hadoop, I'm using your file system, I'm using NoSQL. Now you're adding Streams. This is great, but you know, now like MAP, right, the ecosystem packages, I have to keep everything current. You know, this is, you got to make it easier for me. You got to make my life easier for me. So for existing customers, it's a stay current. I like this, you know, the model. I can turn on and off what I want, when I want, great, great model for them. And then for existing business, for new business, it gets us out of that Hadoop only mode, right? I kind of joking, they call us Hadoop plus, plus, plus, plus, right? We keep adding solutions and add it to a single cohesive data platform that we keep updated. And as I mentioned here, you know, talking to new customers or new prospects or a potential new business, when I describe the model, you can just see the light going on and they realize, wow, there's a lot more to this than I had imagined. I thought you were, you know, I got it earlier today. I thought you guys only did Hadoop, you know, which is a little infuriating as a marketer, but I think we're from a mechanism and a delivery and a message and a story point of view. It's really helped. More cube time will help, Dennis. Well played, well played. Okay, so Spark comes along a couple of years ago and it was like, oh, what's going to happen to it? Okay, so you guys embrace Spark, talk more specifically about Spark, where it fits in your platform and the ecosystem generally. So, you know, Spark, Hadoop, others, as a entity to bring data into the converged data platform. Right, that's one way to think about it, right? Way oversimplified, obviously, but that's a really great way, I think, to think about it is if we're going to provide this platform that anybody can query on, you can run analytics against, you know, we talk a lot about now converged applications. So taking historical data, taking operational data, so streaming data, right? Great example, putting those together and you could say use the data lake example if you want, that's fine, but putting them into a converged application in the middle where they overlap, right? Kind of typical Venn diagram where they overlap and that middle part is the converged application. What's feeding that? Well, Spark could be feeding that, Hadoop could be feeding that. Just yesterday we announced a container, a Docker, right, for containers. That could be feeding into the converged data platform as well, so we look at all of these things as an opportunity for us to manage data and to make data accessible at the enterprise level. And then that enterprise level goes back to what I was talking before. It's got to have all of those things like multi-tenancy and snapshots and mirroring data. Excuse me, data governance, security, et cetera. But Spark is a big component of that, right? You know, all of the customers that came by here that I mentioned earlier, which are some really good names for us, are all using Spark to drive data into the converged data platform. So we look at it as we can help them build new applications within converged data platform with that data. So whether it's Spark data, Hadoop data, container data, we don't really care. So along those lines, if the focus of intense interest right now is on Spark, and Spark says, oh, and we work with all these databases, data stores, file systems, if you approach a customer who's Spark first, you know, what's the message relative to all the other data stores that they can get to that are getting too techy, their API? Sure, sure. Well, I think as you know, George, we support a whole bunch of APIs, right? So I guess for us, it's the breadth, right? I'm thinking of Spark in particular. If someone says, I want to run, specifically, I guess, I want to run Databricks, but I need something underneath it to capture the data and to manage it. Well, I think that's the beauty of our file system there, right? You know, we, as I mentioned, you know, if you think about it from an architectural point of view, our file system along the bottom, or it could be our database or a streaming problem, in this instance, which- That's what I'm getting into all three. Yeah, picture that as the bottom layer as your storage, I shouldn't say storage layer, but as the bottom layer, right? Because it's not just storage, right? It's more than storage, right? Middle layer is maybe some of your open source tools and the like. And then above that is what I call your data delivery mechanisms, right? Which would be Spark, for example, one bucket, another bucket could be Hadoop, and another bucket could be these microservices we're talking about. I mean, let me draw the picture in another way using a partner, right, SAP, right? One of the things we've had some success with SAP is SAP HANA sitting up here, right? SAP would love to have you put all your data in HANA, right? It's probably not going to happen, right? Yeah, good luck, right? But what if you, hey customer, what if you put zero to two years' worth of data, historical data in HANA? Okay, maybe the customer starts nodding their head like you just did. Hey, customer, what if you put two to five years' worth of data in business warehouse? Guess what, you already own that, right? You've been an SAP customer for a while, you already have it. Okay, the customer is now really nodding their head, you got their attention, and this to your original question, whether it's Spark or whatever, right? Five plus years, put a map up. Oh, and then like Canivora could do the query. We can query, you drill and query across all of them, oh, including the business, oh right, including the business warehouse. So, running in the file system. So, that to me, and we do this obviously with our joint SAP MapR customers, that to me is kind of a really cool vision. And to your original question, if that was Spark at the top feeding it rather than SAP, sure, right, why not? Okay. What can you share with us Bill about business metrics around MapR? However you choose to share it, headcount. Yeah, yeah. You want to give us gross margins by product, that's great. Actually, we know they're very high. Would you like revenues too? We know they're very high because you're a software company, so that's actually a bad question. Operating profit by profit. You don't have to give us top line revenues, maybe. What are you guys saying publicly about the company, its growth, that's, you know, give us the latest? So, it's fantastic, right, number one, right? Hiring like crazy, we're well north of 500 people now. I actually, you want to hear a funny story. I, yesterday, was texting in the booth with a candidate from my team back and forth on salary. Did the negotiation, salary negotiation on text right there in the booth and closed her. She starts on the 27th, so I'm very excited about that. So, moving along on that, 700, 800 plus customers as we, you know, we talk about, we will be doing our, we just finished our fiscal year on January 31st, so we're on a Feb 1, right, fiscal year.  But everything, you know, we've hiring again, like crazy as I mentioned, executive staff is all filled in and, you know, built to scale, which we're really excited about.  But now in this one, the momentum release will be done, we'll talk about the coverage data platform and the uplift we've seen from that.  All of that is just all moving in the right direction. And then the other example I'll give you from my world in the partner world, you know, last year I rebranded our partner to the Converged Partner Program, right, when we were going with this whole Converged thing, right? And we established three levels, elite, preferred and affiliate with different levels there. But there also, there's revenue at each, you know, revenue requirements at each level, so elite, preferred and affiliate. And, you know, there's resell and influence revenues. We have MDF funds not only from the big guys coming to us, but we're paying out MDF funds now to select partners as well. So all of this stuff I always talk about is the maturity of the company, right? We're maturing in our messaging, we're maturing in the level of people who are joining and we're maturing in the customers and the deals, you know, the deal sizes and volumes that we're seeing. So it's all moving in the right direction. Great, awesome, congratulations. Thank you, yeah, I'm excited. Can you talk about number of customers or number of employees relative to last year? Well, boy. I don't, honestly, George, I don't know off the top of my head. I apologize, I don't know the metric, but I know it's north of 500 today of employees and it's like 7,800 customers, yeah, yeah. And a little bit more on this partner, elite, preferred and affiliate. So, and you said, what did you call it? Converged partners? Yeah, yeah. So what are some of the details of that? Sure, so the elites are invite only, right? And those are some of the bigger ones, right? So for us, we're in- Some examples. Cisco, SAP, AWS, you know, others, but those are some of the big ones. And there we're looking at things like resell and influence revenue, right? We're track, that's how I, alright, that's what I track in my, I always jokingly say at MapR, even though we're kind of a big startup now, I always jokingly say at MapR, you have three jobs, right? You have the job you are hired for, you have your Thursday night job and you have your Sunday night job, right? So in the job I was hired for, partner marketing, I track influence and resell revenue, right? So at the elite level, we're doing both, right? We're like, Cisco resells us, right? So this S series, right? They were in their SKU, their sales reps can go sell an S series for big data workloads or analytical workloads, MapR on it, off you go, right? And our job then is caching checks, which I like. That's a good job to have in this business, right? At the preferred level, it's kind of that next tier of big players, but they haven't, revenue thresholds haven't moved into the elite yet. Customer, customers, partners in there are like the micro strategies of the world, we're doing a lot with them, Tableau, Tal, and a lot of the BI vendors in there. And then the affiliates are kind of the smaller guys who maybe will do one piece of a campaign during the year with them. So like, I'll give you an example, Attunity, you guys know those guys right here? Last year, we were doing a campaign on DWO, Data Warehouse Offload, right? We wanted to bring them in, but this was a MapR campaign running for a quarter, right? And we're typical like a lot of companies, we run four campaigns a year, and then my partner in field stuff kind of ops into that and we run stuff to support it. And then corporate marketing does something pretty traditional, but what I try and do is pull these partners into those campaigns. So we did a webinar with Attunity as part of that campaign. So at the affiliate level, the lower level, we're not doing a full go to market like we would with the elites at the top, but they're being brought into our campaigns and then obviously hopefully we hope on the other side they're going to pull us in as well. Great, last question. Sure, what should we pay attention to? What's coming up? Let's see, we got some events, we got Strada coming up. You'll be out your way, right? Or MapR way? As my Twitter handle says, C-11A, right? That's where I am. Yeah, I mean the Docker announcement we're really excited about and microservices, right? You'll see more from us on the whole microservices thing. Streaming is still a big one we think for this year. You guys probably agree. That's why we announced the MapR streaming product last year. So again, from a go to market point of view and kind of putting some meat behind streaming with part, not only MapR, but with partners. So streaming as a component and a delivery model for managing data in CDP. I think that's a big one. Machine learning is something that we're seeing more and more kind of touching us from a number of customers but also from the partner perspective. So I see all the partner requests that come in to join the partner program and there's been an uptick in the machine learning customers that want to come in and, excuse me, partners that want to be talking to us, which I think is really interesting. Where you would be the sort of prediction serving layer. Exactly, or a data store, right? A lot of them are looking for just an easy data store that the MapR file system can do. Infrastructure to support that. You know, commodity, right? The whole old promise of Hadoop or just a generic file system is, give me easy access to storage on commodity hardware. The machine learning, so what the machine learning, the new, or I guess the existing machine learning vendors need an answer for that, right? When the customer asks them, they want just an easy answer. So we just use MapR FS for that and we're done. Okay, that's fine with me, I'll take that one. So that's the operational end of that machine learning pipeline that we call DevOps for data science. Correct, right. And I mean, I guess the nice synergy there is the whole going back to the Docker microservices one, right? There's a DevOps component there as well. So might be interesting marrying those together. Okay. All right, we got to go. Bill, thanks very much. Thanks guys. All right, thank you. All right, George and I will be back to wrap. We're going to do part two of our big data forecast right now, so stay with us right back.


Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at Move Zero Volume 2 from John Bannon and Big Blind Media. Basically it is the second volume of John Bannon's Slight List No Moves DVDs on Card Magic. This is probably the best self-working card trick video series ever made. I would highly recommend this to any beginner interested in learning magic. It's easy to do, good card magic for amateurs and pros who would just like to check out some of John Bannon's really good ideas. I have Skarni on card tricks and I recommended that book in my 10 book review. There are hundreds of self-working effects in that book, but the problem is you have to wade through a lot of junk to find the gold. This video does that for you and it makes it presentable in a modern approach. This video has interviews, thoughts, ideas, so much more all put together, like I said, in a modern presentation, in a modern format. This is an excellent teaching resource. It is packed with some great ideas. There are also some really useful selections that cover the thinking behind the tricks and the approach which are all very informative. Alright, so what do you get on the DVD? What do you get? You're going to get 10 tricks. You're going to get 51 Fat Chances, which is kind of like a 51 Paces North kind of effect. Another trick called Leverage, you're going to learn a Tiny Contrary Killer, which is kind of like a different version of Colossal Killer. Pedal to the Metal, Machismo, Chronic, Dead Reckoning, AK-47, Bannon Triumph, and Free Willy. You're also going to learn seven different moves in the trick bag selection. Now what is that? I thought you said this was a Slight List DVD. It is Slight List, but there still are some moves, there's some cuts, there's some false cuts, things that you could learn. They're very easy. You'll learn the Down Under Deal, the Jay Ossie False Cut, the Probability Call, the Gilberth Principle. You'll learn about key cards and crimps. You'll learn about stacking your deck, and you'll learn about the Remote Rosetta. And you know what? I think the trick bag selections are very useful indeed. They cover a lot of detail and additional subtleties around principles, which we all know, but illustrate ways and means to take these principles to another level and to make them more deceptive and an integral part of the presentation. This is an exceptional masterpiece, sure to become a crowd favorite and an instant. Classic John Bannon is one in a million. The other thing you're going to get on this DVD is you're going to get five different interviews with John Bannon. He's going to cover his inspiration. He's going to cover his favorite techniques that he ever created. He's going to cover his creative process, how he comes up with magic tricks. He's going to talk a little bit about what is cardzilla, and he's going to talk about what it's like to give his very best stuff away. Alright, so that is my review for Move Zero from John Bannon and Big Blind Media. I want to thank Big Blind Media for allowing me to have this DVD so that I could do this review for you. And if you'd like to purchase this for yourself, I would highly recommend you head on down to bigblindmedia.com. Thanks. Bye.


Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the new musical version by Lawrence and Lee of the great stage and screen hit, Seven Heaven, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest, the star of the New York City opera company, Miss Anne Ayers. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubeau and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another musical first is brought to you by the American Railroads.  And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, my little and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we take you to Paris of 1914 for Seven Heaven. Good evening, Citizen Bull. Huh? Oh, oh, Gico. Oh, I didn't notice you coming up. Tell me, old friend, does it ever depress you working in the sewers? Depress me? Never. Why, Bull, sometimes I feel like a king for no reason at all.  Though I work in the sewers in Paris town, I always look up. I never look down. I have no use for the pessimist. So she goes a man with a dream in his fist. I laugh and I'll grin and I'll swear and I'll sin and I'll throw my heart in the sky. I'm the sore man in the whole world.  The sun, you can black out the sky but I'll look at the world and I'll spit in its eye. You can hold a man down. You can make a man squirm but he's only a Machiko, no sir. I'll plan and I'll scheme and I'll dare and I'll dream and I'll find that star in the sky. Even in that sewer I sometimes see stars. Oh, citizens. I greet you from my lowly sewer. Citizens, back to my cozy soup. As I say, we have to eat. No. Stand here on this corner, sing your song. A man will come close.  Begin. No, no. You want me to beat you again? No, no, no. I'll sing. Well, very pretty, very pretty indeed. Be careful, she's trying to steal your purse. What? Oh, thank you my child. How dare you talk about your own sister like that. You need a good beating. No, no, no. I'll do as you say. Here, stop that. Nobody beats anybody else in this neighborhood. It gives my sewer a bad name. Now, how would you like me to lift you up like this and drop you right into the sewer? No, don't. Don't drop me. Don't. You promise never to beat this girl again? I promise. That's better.  I'm going for the John John. Chico, you're a good man. A religious man. Don't be ridiculous, Boo. Why, I'm an atheist. Well, don't you ever pray, Chico? Boo, I have prayed so long and so loud to be a street cleaner up here among the people in the sunshine. Yes. I went to the cathedral and I bought the largest candle they had for six francs. Well, what happened? Nothing. But do you think I gave up? No. I said, Monsieur Le Bon Dieu. I'm going to give you one more chance. So I lit another candle. Another six francs. What was that one for? Boo, I wanted a wife with yellow hair. A fine, brave, beautiful woman. And, well, a remarkable fellow like me has got to have a remarkable woman for a wife. Well, almost as remarkable anyway. That's asking Le Bon Dieu for a great deal. Well, that's what I prayed for, Boo, and nothing turned up. And now your Bon Dieu owes me 12 francs. And perhaps you can understand why I'm an atheist. Good evening, my son. Oh, Father Cheville. I couldn't help it over here, my son. And here, Chico, is a card. Take it to the Commissioner of Public Works and he's an old friend of mine. A card? Please arrange to have citizen Chico transferred to the street washing division. Don't believe it. You see, Le Bon Dieu heard your prayer after all. I want you to have these two medals of St. John and St. Agnes. Religious medals? Father, I'm an atheist. Take them, please. I bid you good evening, dear friends. Boo, I am a man of position. And look here, real silver. Wait a minute. Why, there's still a price tag on them. 12 francs. What? Well, that's what you paid for the candles. Now Le Bon Dieu doesn't owe you anything. Boo, you leave me alone. I've got to think. Certainly, Chico. Oh, you're still here.   What's your name? Diane. My name's Chico. It's more like a noise than a name. Tell me, what's going to happen to you? I was thinking of jumping into the sand. What? That's the foolish thing to do. The river is for fish, not for pretty faces. Now look here, you stop worrying. I tell you, life is short. So why worry so much? You listen to me, Diane. This is my philosophy. Love the air, then, and purr the pen, and purr d'amour, et puis bonjour. Love the air, then, purr d'amour, and purr d'espoir, et puis bonsoir. Now you sing along with anyone.   You see? It's very simple. There she is. She's the thief. Arrest her. The shantan. All right. Come along with me, you pickpocket. You'd better be careful what you say about her, because... Yes. Because she's my wife. Where do you live? Forty-eight rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. The seventh floor. You'd better be telling the truth, because we'll come check up on that tomorrow. Now come along, you. You're not a very good informer. Eve Lyon, you'll see. Oh, what have I done? I'll lose my new job.  I don't know why I do these things. But all right, you come along. You have a great heart that isn't you. You have a story? Well, here we are. It's just an old guarantee. But when you work in the sewer all day, at night, you... you want to be as close to the stars as you can. Come to the window. Look, a very close friend of mine. The evening star. And all the rooftops of Paris. Uh-oh. Never look down. Always look up. It's like heaven. When you smile like that, it is.  When I see a smile, smile for me. You have light. We'll return in just a moment for Act 2 of 7th Heaven. That's the voice of a diesel locomotive. To most of us, a symbol of modern railroading. But to railroad men, the diesel locomotive is but one symbol of the vast changes that have come in every part of the railroad plant. Now here is Act 2 of our musical version of 7th Heaven, starring Gordon Macrae as Chico and Anne Ayers as Diane, with special new music composed by Carmen Dragon and lyrics by Lawrence and Lee. Look, I have a present for you. Oh, such a big box. Well, open it. Oh, Chico, you're so good and kind to me. Every night you go away across the city to stay with your friend Citizen Bull and leave me here in 7th Heaven. Well, why shouldn't I? Because I've lied to you. The first day after you brought me here, the gendarm came. I told him I was Madame Chico and he went away. But I didn't tell you because I thought that then I would have to leave. You open the box. Oh, Chico, a wedding dress. Do you really want to marry me? Come here by the window. Well, good evening, evening star. You can listen too. Too much in love so far above All earthly marvels We tread the clouds Very simple. Before there was Chico and there was Diane. And now there's us. Us? You and I are one. So one and one makes one. Oh, what did this mean? A rockable woman for a wife. And now... Chico! Chico, open up! What's all the excitement? What's all the excitement? Chico, the mobilization. Our regiment has been called. Come quickly. We must report tonight. Tonight? Go, I will join you as soon as I can. Well, hurry. I'll make you brave. I'll be beautiful for you and strong for you and wise for you. I astonish myself at what I am. You see what you've made of me? I too am a very remarkable fellow. Diane, I cannot leave you unless you are my wife. Look, I have saved these medals the father gave me. We'll marry ourselves with them. You hold one and I'll hold one. Miss Cielobondier, listen to us. If there is any truth in the idea of you, please make this a true marriage. Hold my hand, Diane. I take you, Diane, for my wife. I take you, Chico, for my husband forever. Kiss the bride. Diane, listen to me. I will come to you every day, exactly at this hour, just as we both see the evening star. Goodbye, Abbott. Chico, no, Chico! Oh, my Chico! Good evening, star. Good evening, my husband. Listen to what is going on on the streets below. The armistice has been signed. The armistice! My Chico will be coming home. Diane, what's wrong? Chico will not be coming back. That's not true. For four years I've talked to him every evening. In a few moments I'll talk to him again. Child, child. Months ago he gave me this medal to give to you.  Did you see him die? No, I had to move on. But his name is In the Lists. In the Lists? Then he never came at all. I just imagined that he came, didn't I? He will always be with you, Diane. I was so sure. The first time I saw him, he rose up from the sewer and had stars in his hands. There, there is your evening star rising above the rooftops. Chico, Diane, heaven.  They tried to make me believe you were dead, but they couldn't. They couldn't. I've been hit by every shell that's made. But I'll never die because the idea inside me was gone. And I'll see. They can't keep me blind. I tell you, Diane, I'm a very remarkable fellow. Oh, yes, a very remarkable fellow. Just one moment. And meanwhile, thanks to Jeanette Nolan, Bill Conrad, Norman Field, Marvin Miller, and to our entire company. Seventh Heaven was written by Austin Strong and originally produced by John Golden. Mr. Golden is the producer of the current success, The Male Animal, now in its sixth month on Broadway. The railroad hour is brought to you each week at the same time by the American Railroads. Marvin? Ladies and gentlemen, our political parties and candidates have told their stories. In this most critical time, our domestic and foreign problems have been thoroughly examined. Never before in history have so many people had the opportunity to see and hear political candidates express their views. Now it's all up to you to say what you think. So no matter what, be sure to vote tomorrow. Thank you, Marvin. Now, ladies and gentlemen, here again is California's own lovely Annie. Gordon, it was wonderful being in Seventh Heaven with you tonight. Tell me, what's on the show train next week? A wonderful rogers-and-heart hit, Dearest Enemy. And Eileen Farrell will be our guest. I'll be listening, Gordon. Good night. Good night, Anne. You were a wonderful day, Anne. All aboard! Well, dear friends, it looks as though we're ready to pull out. And so until next Monday night, Dearest Enemy, this is Gordon McRae saying good night. Seventh Heaven was presented by arrangement with 20th Century Fox, his Daryl Afzanic's Technicolor production, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, with Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward. Gordon McRae appeared through the courtesy of Warner Brothers, producers of The Miracle of Fatima. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. This is Marvin Miller saying goodbye until next week for the American Railroad. Now, stay tuned for your Monday Night of Music on NBC! This is NBC, the nation's headquarters for election news.


Okay, so this is number seven of the practice test, a sketch of potential energy diagram showing the effect of increasing the temperature for an endophermic reaction. So the first thing you want to remember of course is what a potential energy diagram is, right? So if you recall, it's the two axes here, this y-axis here is going to be your energy, so that's potential energy. And this is the reaction over time. So this is time zero, it should keep going, it's time whatever. So now you want to remember that an endothermic reaction has the products at a higher energy than the reactants, right? So the reactants are down here where the products are up here. So if you remember, delta for an endothermic reaction delta H equals a positive number. Okay, so the regular potential energy diagram just has this type of a curve with energy of activation being from the reactants to the transition state up there. So if you increase the temperature, so that's what we're trying to do here, if we increase the temperature, so remember temperature is another form of energy, right? So it increases the energy as well, so if you're increasing the temperature, you're actually increasing E. So R is at a low energy state, right? So when you increase E, you're actually bringing R up here or somewhere up there.  So that's like you've got delta G equals delta H minus T delta S, right? So the temperature does play a factor in determining whether the reaction is spontaneous or not, right? So you can increase the temperature and your new reaction curve would be something like that, thereby lowering your activation energy, right? So that would be your new activation energy. So that's what you do.

I read every single one of my comments on my posts and I try to reply to as many people as possible because I just find it amazing to be fair, like how I can just upload a picture and people that don't even know me just are nice enough to leave a comment, I find that so nice. When I first started using social media, I didn't care about the background and my photos or anything like that, and I would upload photos where my room is a complete mess and everyone used to be like, oh my God, you're a scruff like gong clean your bedroom before you take selfies.  Do you know what I mean?  I have torn down my image a lot since I've had her, but I still can be sexy, mum's can be sexy. I've deleted probably like 50% of my pictures of social media, like I've literally, I have a clear out probably like every other month, and probably every other month I delete stuff and look back and think what was I wearing or, you know, that's a bit too, you know, promiscuous, so yeah, I always delete my photos. I think I follow around like 450 people on social media. I feel like when you follow too much, it just gets too much, and if you follow too less, then you look kind of bougies, so 450 people I follow. I don't use social media to date or anything, but like, say if I've been single and a guy's like, you know, what's your, what's your number? I'd be like, oh, you can have my Instagram. On the hand of my Instagram, and they probably ask me. I do get a few DMs, you know, from quite famous people, ordinary people, a lot of footballers, but I'm not really interested. My most popular Instagram posts are family posts, like one's photos that me, Ben and Winter have done together, or a photo of just me and Winter, like people love to see families. It was one of Winter, actually, when she first came, and it was the first photo I took of her, I uploaded it, and I remember I had so many likes and so many comments. The advice I make to people that make social media feels like, you know, like I did with the editing or writing the wrong thing, just delete it and forget about it and start afresh.


Do you personally have confidence that this current Supreme Court is upholding and will uphold the rule of law? I worry, because I know that if the other team, the mega-Republicans win, they don't want to uphold the rule of law. They want to get rid of the FBI. I mean, the things they say. And I think that somehow we've got to communicate to the American people, this is for real. This is real, if they were to take over, if they were to have their way. But I do think at the end of the day, this court, which has been one of the most extreme courts, I still think in the basic fundamentals of rule of law that they would sustain the rule of law.

Hey guys, our final step before going into Supernatural Season 4, this is the video that I have been waiting to talk about. It's going to be a bit of a long one, but I hope you guys stick through it because these are, in my opinion, the top five best episodes of Supernatural Season 3. If you guys watched me through on this entire journey, you'll know that I like a lot of them. If you haven't, feel free to go back and watch the reviews I've done for this season. I do have a playlist. It's a great season. It's one of my favorite ones, despite the adversity that it went through, despite the challenges that they had to go through and the fact that it was a shorter season, I still feel that it's one of the most concise and it is one of the most entertaining. So as these lists always go, it goes from five to one, with one being the most best episode, in my opinion, of the season, as well as we have a lot of honorable mentions. Starting off with Fresh Blood, the conclusion of the Gordon Walker character Sterling K. Brown, despite only being in three to four episodes of this entire show, has still stood out as being one of the best villains that the show's ever had, and he had a fantastic send-off. This episode is near-on perfect except for two problems, one of which being Gordon's magical cell phone and the absolutely whiny overacting vampire in this episode. Aside from that, it has fantastic horror. It has some fantastic vampire moments. Some of the moments in this episode, I'll never forget, like when Gordon Falcon punches his friend through the chest, are when Sam full-on rips his head off with razor wire. Still one of the best moments in the entire show, even though it kind of doesn't really make sense of how he did it. Next on the honorable mention list is Dream a Little Dream of Me. This episode is actually pretty cool for being a nightmare on Elm Street episode in terms of referencing everything about that film franchise except for the key character. It's subtle, it's not on the nose, it's actually quite reminiscent to that of Wes Craven's work with New Nightmare. It has a lot of elements from the Nightmare series. It also incorporates a little bit of reverses on the system itself. Instead of struggling to try and stay awake, they actually just decided to go to sleep to take on the guy himself, which is a cool interpretation. Also seeing Bobby in a different light, especially in a terrified state, was really cool to see. The Jeremy Villenguy kind of sucked, one time I'm in an episode and I'm a wiener, but otherwise it's still a really great episode. And the final honorable mention is No Rest for the Wicked, the season finale of the show. It's a great season finale, don't get me wrong. It's still very enjoyable, but that also should give you kind of an idea of the pedigree of what are the best episodes of this season. No Rest for the Wicked has a fantastic latter half. Once Dean gets pulled over by the cop, it's all guns blazing all the way to the end. It has fantastic tension. The ending is superb, with Dean getting ripped apart, Sam somehow surviving Lilith, and then Dean in the chains screaming out for Sam's name. However, the episode is a little bit rough at the beginning, mainly with the back and forth dialogue between Ruby, Sam, and Dean, because it's just kind of going in a circle. It's something that we've already reflected on, as well as you can just see Kripke's very basic writing in the beginning of the episode. It still has fantastic moments, don't get me wrong. It's just a little bit lacking, mainly with how slow it is to start. But those are the honorable mentions. Now we're going to get into the top five, starting with number five being Just In Bello. It was the episode that we were kind of hoping for with the Crotone one back in season two. This is the one where the brothers are stuck in a police station with Agent Henderson and a few other cops, whether they're being surrounded by demons. Agent Henderson finally realizes that maybe the brothers were right all along, and there's this really cool showdown and battle inside this cop station. They're blasting out windows, they're destroying walls, blasting demons, and they use that great trick. It's a fantastic episode. It's one of the most action packed, it's one of the most intense in the entire season. It also ends with a pretty cool bang in terms of you thought they won, but in the end, everyone that they tried to save, everyone that they fought to keep alive dies anyways. Such a great ending to that episode. Number four on the list is Bad Day at Black Rock. This is the funny episode of the season, and it has a lot of moments between Sam losing his shoe and the drain to Dean literally throwing a pen at a gun and saying I'm Batman. This episode has a lot of really, really funny moments, and it's all about a rabbit's foot. We also get a cool banter back and forth with Bella, who I know that some people just did not like this character, but I thought that she worked well with the brothers in this episode. I think that they have all great chemistry. I enjoyed all the moments with all three and the banter. The banter is just great because it's such a funny episode. You're laughing the whole way through, and you're having a great time enjoying it, and it still has that supernatural monster slash supernatural-esque sort of vestige that the show has always kept. Number three on the list is Holly Jolly Supernatural Merry Christmas. This was a great episode. It's so good. It is the most holny episode. It's the greatest episode of this season in terms of the brothers' development because we learn about their past. We learn about the challenges that these boys went through as kids moving from town to town, constantly being on edge, knowing about things and other people don't know about it at such a young and tender age, and the relationship and the brotherhood that the two boys develop as young kids and then grow into the adults that they are, and this bond that has never broken between the two of them, even though it's going to break quite a bit in the latter seasons. I'm not talking about four and five. You know what I'm talking about. Also, the villains are fantastic. I like these 1950s caricatures of husband and wife duo with the, oh, we've got to say Fudge and all these other kind of really stereotyped but very quirky moments. It has some great humor. It also has a pretty damn good scary part in it where the kid watches his parents being dragged down the stairs in the sack by evil Santa Claus. Evil Santa Claus was super cool even if I kept on imagining he was Goldberg from that Santa horror movie. Number two might surprise you. Usually it's at the top of everyone's list, but because it is something that hasn't been done before, I couldn't give it the number one spot, but it's still a fantastic episode. Number two on the list is Mystery Spot. This is the Groundhog Day episode of Supernatural. The episode where Sam repeatedly watches Dean die over and over and over. It starts off as humorous. Sure, it's a bit jarring to see it first, but then after about the third or fourth time that Dean has died, we actually start to laugh at it. But then we also start to see Jared expressing the pain, the insanity, and the guilt that he has that he can't save his brother. And this is probably I would say Jared's best episode in terms of his acting in this whole season. It's actually one of the best episodes in terms of his acting in the entire show because he has to show so much range. We see him normal. We see him desperate. We see him confused. We see him losing it. And at the very end of the episode, we see him at his utmost desperate.  We see him wishing for his brother back. Despite everything that he's gone through, he's still begging the trickster for his brother back, which also, by the way, that's another great episode with the trickster in it. He had a great episode of Tall Tales, but the Mystery Spot episode is what really cemented the trickster as a villain slash antihero slash hero character that the entire fan base has come to know and love. And now this leaves me with number one. Do you guys know what it is? Number one, my number one favorite episode. And what I feel to be the best episode of season three is Time Is On My Side. This episode has so many great supernatural moments. The guy walking into the hospital with his guts falling out, which by the way, this guy's actually on one calls the heart and worked with him before. The whole concept of a doctor turning himself into his own Frankenstein monster to keep alive for forever. Dean and Sam going back and forth on the morality of doing such a thing to possibly keep Dean alive. And then the ending where they lock the dock in a coffin at the bottom of a deep grave, knowing that he'll never die in this hole until his body falls apart, I guess. But still, it's so chilling. It's the darkest thing that I feel that supernatural is ever done. Maybe they did some darker stuff later on. They probably did. But honestly, I still find that this is one of the most chilling things that the brothers ever did in the entire show. The whole concept of the episodes is always stuck with me. It has some terrifying horror and some terrifying gore. Like when the runner guy has his heart ripped out and they keep cutting back to his heart rate monitor. So, so good. It's one of the darkest episodes in the entire season. It's one of the most chilling episodes of the entire show. And it had a character in a villain that you still hated what related to and you even feel that maybe what he got was still a little dirty in terms of what they've done with previous monsters in the past. It's the best episode of the entire season. It had one of the most memorable moments as well as it is at this moment the best pre-season finale of the entire show. I don't know if anything's gonna beat it. Aside from season 11, and that's how far I'm reaching, time is on my side is in my opinion the best pre-season finale that the show ever had. But again, we're gonna be going into season four into season five for me to confirm this. Those are my top five best episodes of supernatural season three. Please give me your guys' thoughts. Give me your guys' suggestions of what you think of the top five best in the comments below and I'll make sure to read those off. That's all for me guys. I hope you have enjoyed the journey through season three as much as I have. We're now moving into season four, which is kind of a gray area for me. I've never really been one four, but I've never been against season four. Every time I think it's kind of like the it always surprises me. So let's see what happens when we start season four.

Colombia rejects US proposal to supply Ukraine with Russian weapons. Colombian President Gustavo Petro confirmed that Washington has suggested that Colombia transferred Russian-made military weapons to Ukraine but the Republic rejected this proposal. During a conversation with US General Laura Richardson and other US officials, I was told that due to Colombia's inability to maintain Russian-made weapons in active service, they were ready to do so and send it to Ukraine. He said answering to a question from TASS. According to the President, his country's Russian-made military equipment is in poor technical condition at the moment because there was no opportunity to service it properly lately. We are not taking anyone's side, we are on the side of peace. This is why not a single piece of Russian equipment on our territory, regardless of its technical condition, will be used in this conflict, Petro added. Commander of United States Southern Command Laura Richardson said earlier that Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and six other Latin American countries had Russian military equipment in service and the United States was working to replace that with US equipment if those countries want to donate it to Ukraine. Russian President Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news briefing in January that the US initiative had legal limitations, but that the Kremlin would keep a close eye on the issue.
