Kind of towards the end of this course and I hope to finish today or maybe next next class which will be on Wednesday. So we have been talking about overcoming the flesh, the world and the devil because this is the challenge. These are the things that keep us from living holy, walking in holiness. Even though the God who has called us is holy and he has called us to holiness. The flesh, the world and the devil pull upon the believer and try to keep us, prevent us from living a life of holiness. And the fact is as long as we are on this earth, as long as we are living in this natural body on the earth, we're going to face, we're going to face the pull of the flesh, the world and the temptations to the devil. We're going to face it. There won't be any moment when all these things just go away. Well as long as we are in our natural body in this world, in this time. And so we have to be constantly, constantly alert, on guard. We must be aware how these things operate. How does the flesh try to destroy the believer? I mean pull the believer down. How does the world influence the believer? And what we are dealing with now is how does the devil operate? So we started talking about this, the last part, overcoming the devil in our last class. Just going to quickly review a few things and we'll move forward. And yeah, I will come to those questions. So chapter 7, overcoming the devil, we said that there is an adversary, the devil. And we have to be called and we have been empowered to overcome, to resist the devil successfully. But then in order to do that, we must become aware of his activities. How does he operate? He said, look, there are just four main things he does. I mean, if you broadly categorize what he does, you can put them in four big categories.  He tries to deceive us, give us falsehood and he comes, opposes us, opposes us, opposition. He tries to hinder us, do things to stop us. But in our overcoming of the devil, we must be absolutely certain that Satan is defeated in him. That's our position. The devil is defeated, Christ won the victory, we are here to enforce that victory. So we're not striving for victory. That was done for us on the cross. We're enforcing that victory. So the way we engage is a little different. We're not trying to fight for victory. We are fighting from a place of victory in order to enforce that victory.  So in order to do that, he must be aware of his tactics, how he operates. One big way is through mind games. Second is he looks for open doors. So obviously, if we want to live overcoming lives, we need to keep our doors closed to the enemy. Don't give him an opportunity. Sin and doing wrong things obviously opens the doors and so that's why it's so important to repent the moment we do something wrong. And thirdly, he violates. He tries to forcibly do things he knows he's not supposed to do, but this is where we put up our shield of faith and we say, no, I know you're a trespasser, but no trespassing. I am not going to give you the opportunity to trespass. He will try to. That's when we resist. Number three, as part of our strategy, you know, we'll come in the devil and this is so simple and yet it's so important. We must be vigilant and give the enemy no opportunity. That is our responsibility and that is us taking our spiritual life seriously. That we must be alert and know that, hey, the enemy is going to use things around me to try to pull me down. So obviously, if I'm alert and I can think strategically, I'll just make sure he doesn't have the opportunity. We can be preemptive or preventive in many of these things. And let me say this and I don't say it in any way to demean or disregard, but you know, if we as believers will be wise, so be vigilant, be alert, but be wise. I mean, think strategically. Think like a soldier. Think like somebody in the army. Be preemptive. Be preventive. We can actually thwart the enemy even before he makes his move, that you make your move. And if we as believers do that, I think we can, you know, we can really live victoriously on the earth. The Bible, you know, talking about Jesus, John 14, you know, Jesus makes the statement. He says, the ruler of this world is coming, of course, that he's referring to the devil. But look at what he says. He has nothing in me. Now that's so, so wonderful. The rule of the world is coming. The devil's coming. But he has nothing in me. You know, there's nothing in me he can claim. There's nothing in me that he can have access to. He's coming, meaning, of course, Jesus is in the world. The devil is around. He's going to try to do his part. The devil is going to try to tempt Jesus. He's going to try and, you know, whatever, test, attack him at all points, just like as we are. But Jesus, he has nothing in me. No foothold, no access point, no entry point, nothing. And so if we can live like this, then while the devil around us is trying and his demons are trying to do their thing, play their mind games, or look for entry points, or try to intrude, he says, sorry, you have nothing in me. I'm like Jesus. I walk like Jesus. You have nothing in me. They've also Paul told us, he said in Ephesians 4 verse 27, he says, don't give any place to the devil. Literally in the Greek it means, don't give the devil any foothold, any landing place. You can't even put his foot down in anywhere in things that concern you. No foothold. Don't give any place to the devil. Now that's our responsibility.  It's like half the battle is over. We are preventing a lot of things. Sadly, if we leave so many entry points to the devil and the devil is landing, the devil and his demons have so many places to land, then we've got a lot of battles to fight. Fighting here, fighting there, fighting there, fighting there. Hey, why don't you just close all the doors? Don't give the devil any place to land. If he's coming, he's going to be on the outside. We can't prevent him from coming, but he comes and he finds no entry place. You just keep going about your business. And like Jesus, you can say the devil comes, but there's no place. He comes looking. Where's the entry point? No place. So that's a great way to live our lives. That's a commitment to holiness. That's a commitment to living a life that pleases God. And when we see him coming, our response is resist the devil. So we can't prevent him from coming, but we can prevent him from having a landing place and we resist when he comes. So in view of this, we keep every area of our life and submission to the Lord. We will feel the pull, the pressure of our flesh, the pull and the pressure of the world and the temptations that the enemy tries to place around us. But we are committed to holiness, committed to living in submission to the Lord. So we give no place to the devil. And part of this is our words. We should be careful of the words we speak, be careful of our tongue, our words are important, our words pledge our allegiance to God, and our words are important. So use your words. Watch against sin.  I'm just pointing out a few things here that we could be careful about. Don't get into strife with anybody. You know, there would be always opportunity to get in strife, strife or envy or selfish interest. These things are detrimental. They just open the door to confusion and every kind of demonic work. So we be careful against strife. Right? So we conduct ourselves in such a way that even people who are opposed to the gospel have no chance to speak. So Paul writes in Timothy, says, you tell the young people, younger widows and so on to live in such a way they give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. So whether it is people who are adversarial to the gospel or whether it's even the enemy trying to use an opportunity, so like you live in such a way that the adversary, whether people or the enemy, say, they have no chance to speak, no chance. So a lot has to do with this, being vigilant, giving the enemy no opportunity. I think be wise, think very strategically, think like a military person and you pre-empt to prevent what the enemy would try to do. And lastly, of course, God has given us spiritual weapons. He's not left us here just to try to do things on our own. Ephesians chapter 6 talks about our spiritual weapons. Bible says, put on the full armor of God that you may be able to stand against the vials of the enemy. So put on the full armor. God's given us the armor, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth are featured with the preparation of the gospel, the shield of faith, the sword of the spirit. He's just given us everything. So he says, you know, go use it. And if you do that, he says, having done all to stand, stand. That means when we do our everything to stand, we will stand. The enemy's not going to knock us down. We can stand. God's given us the weapons and we can demolish the mind games that the devil plays. So 2 Corinthians 10, chapter 10, verses 4 through 6, with the weapons God's given us, we cast down imaginations, we pull down strongholds, we bring every reasoning and imagination that's contrary to God. Pull it down, we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. So the mind games, the devil is going to come and play those games, but we have the weapons which we counteract and we neutralize everything the enemy attempts to do in our minds. So we have to use those weapons. Now, if as a believer we don't use our weapons, now God is not going to come and do that for us. God has given us the weapons we have to use. Now, of course, we can support one another because we are an army. We can help each other. We can assist and aid each other and God will come to our assistance, but we've got to use the weapons. God has given to us and we're not getting into this, but we all know that we have the right to use the authority of Jesus' name, the power of the Word of God, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is on our lives. We declare what the blood of Jesus has done for us. We put on the full armor of God, praise and worship stops the enemy. It stills the adventure and through prayer and intercession we counter what the enemy is doing. So all of these are things God has given to us and we make use of these things and we intentionally, meaningfully engage in battle. So overcoming the enemy, overcoming Satan, and I've put it, it looks very, very simple, four points, but I think they are just simple and yet they're very important. Know that the enemy has been defeated. Be aware of his tactics, how he operates. From our side, be vigilant and try to always stay in a place where the enemy has no opportunity. Stay in that secret place. Stay in that place where he has nothing and when he comes and he tries to intrude when he tries to violate use of weapons, use the spiritual weapons God has given to us. So our goal is, in this course, learning about the holiness of God, our goal is to live the overcoming life of victorious life over sin and the flesh, the pressures of the world and our Satan. So we must know, every believer can live victorious over the flesh, the world and the devil, you as a believer can live victorious. That must be in your mind. You know, don't embrace the notion that you cannot be victorious. Don't tolerate that thought. Don't embrace any idea that says, well, as long as you're in this world, you're going to be a victim. You're going to suffer under the hand of the enemy.  You know, don't have that poor negative mindset about the Christian life. The Christian life is one of victory, overcoming.  So that should be our mindset. I can live a victorious life or whatever I'm facing. And then we must, of course, be determined, make a determined effort to walk victorious. Take the word of God. Take what the things God has given to us and say, I'm going to do it. I'm going to live victorious. I'm going to fight the good fight of faith. I'm going to press in to the things God has made available to me in the kingdom. I'm going to take it by force and I'm going to walk in what God has provided for me in the kingdom. So in closing, we want to answer the question, why live an overcoming life? Why is it even important? Why should I, you know, it takes effort, conscious spiritual effort. So why? Well, three simple reasons, because we want to delight the Father's heart and we want to please his heart and living overcoming life is living a life of holiness and that pleases, it delights the Father's heart. It delights the Father's heart. The Apostle said, you know, we want to be well pleasing to him. You know, we want to be well pleasing to him. Of course, he is conscious that one day we'll have to stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Yes, it is there. There is that sense of fear and responsibility. But the bottom line is that the underlying motivation is, I want to be well pleasing to God. I want to please his heart. So you and I make choices. You make decisions that are, secondly, we want to reveal Jesus to the world.  You know, if we live defeated lives, how will people get the fragrance of this knowledge? If you look at Second Corinthians 214, he says, thanks be to God. He leads us in triumph in Christ, you know, and it says, in that context of leading us triumphantly in Christ, through that there is the diffusing of his knowledge in every place. You know, sometimes, and I don't want to say this in a demeaning way, but I think it's a misrepresentation that's happening in the church where people say, okay, through God's grace, through our sinfulness, all of that, okay, the fragrance of his knowledge in every place. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It is through us walking triumphant in Christ that God is diffusing the fragrance of his knowledge in every place. That must be very clear. That's what the scripture says. Now, it is, yes, supposedly being terrible sin or terrible weakness or bondage, but how is the fragrance of his knowledge going to be diffused when that person comes out and overcomes that weakness, overcomes that bondage and breaks free from that bondage and by the power of Christ and overcomes that weakness, as we come out as triumphant in those situations, through the empowering of God, that's what's going to diffuse the fragrance. So, we must be very clear. This is what the Bible says, that it's through us being triumphant in Christ there is that fragrance revealed or released to the world. It's a God that my life released that fragrance, but I need to triumph. I need to show that we can overcome. I need to demonstrate by my life that a living, a victorious life in Christ is available to reveal Jesus to the world. And third reason, very important reason why we need to live this victorious overcoming holy life in Christ is so that we can be fruitful for the kingdom of God. And this is a passage we've seen before, that as we add to our faith, virtue and knowledge and all these other things, it's going to bring us to a place where we can, we will not be barren or unfruitful or if you want to restate it in a positive statement, we will be fruitful and bear much fruit in our knowing Christ. But it is as we add to our faith, virtue and knowledge and brotherly love and so on. That means we're growing in these areas that's going to cause us to be fruitful in knowing Christ. So, that's the motivation. That's why we seek to live a holy life. That's why we decide to live an overcoming of victorious life because we want to delight the Father's heart. We want to reveal Jesus to the world. We want to be fruitful for the kingdom of God. You know, and I feel really sad as you see what's going on all around the world. And, you know, I'm not saying we have, we can do much about this, but then when we see, you know, great, I don't know what to say, great, but renowned, well-known Christian leaders whom the world sees, see the world, when they look at the Christian world or the Christian Christendom, in the world, the unsaved, look at the Christian, they only see the big names, the big name pastors, the pastors of big churches and big movements. And then things happen in the lives of these well-known, renowned leaders. It brings a big stain to Christendom. And it is sad, but then that's the opinion the world gets. You can't blame them because these people are in the forefront. These people in many ways are representing what Christendom is all about to the world. And sadly, that's all they, the world can see or understand.  It's a tremendous responsibility and, you know, we need to fulfill that. So we come to the end of this course on holiness. We divided this course into three sections. The first one was just understanding the holiness of God, trying to get a vision of that, how holy God is and how His holiness pervades every aspect of who He is and it undergirds every facet of His nature. Secondly, we talked about repentance. How repentance is important in the life of the believer. We never stop being in a place where we could, where we will repent, if something is wrong, we repent. We should acknowledge, turn away, confess and turn away from our sin. And thirdly, we talked about overcoming.  God has given us the tools. Actually, it's very basic. It's His word and His spirit. By the word and by the spirit, every believer can overcome. Don't make it complicated. It's all available to all of us. And with the help of the word of God and the Holy Spirit, we can overcome our flesh, we can overcome the influences of the world and we can overcome the works of the devil against us. So in closing, I just want to put before us, especially those of us who are going to prepare for leadership or preparing for Christian leadership. You know, many of us are going to be leading churches, leading ministries. We're going to be in places of responsibility. And there are going to be a lot of other people looking up to us. They're going to be watching our lives. And even the world, meaning the unsaved, are going to watch you and me. And you and I, many of us, will become the face of the church or will become the face of Christ to those who are looking. So I just want to leave us with this, with this deep sense of responsibility, that holiness is not an option. And we have to be determined till the last day of our lives to live holy. Never take it lightly. It's not a very favorite subject. You don't find too many people preaching sermons on holiness.  But you know, this is foundational. This is, this is what we stand on. And if we mess up here, everything God does through us could be tarnished, could, you know, could mess up. So I don't have words enough to convey how serious this is, how important this is. And the life of holiness for every one of us, especially for those of you who are preparing to serve God somewhere or another, because a lot of people are going to watch you. A lot of people are going to look at you. And if we fail in this area, no matter how much good we do, people will forget the good. And they will talk about our mistakes. They will talk about our failures. That's sad, but that's how the world is. So all I can say is till our last breath, we have to be committed to being holy before God. Okay, let me take the questions in the chat before we close. Anita's question. Why did God put devil and mankind on earth? This is something we can try and think about. There's an interesting book that was written quite some time ago. I would encourage you to, I was putting the thing around the chat. It's a book called Destined for the Throne by a man named Paul Bilheimer. I think it was written, I forget the year, that must be in the 80s. It's a small little book, but it's pretty very good, very good. And it's very insightful. And he shares, he's asking the same question that you asked. Why are we here at the church? Why is God letting the devil be around? What is all this working towards? And I just want to summarize. I mean, you can read the book, but to summarize it, basically the idea is the church is being prepared and God is using the devil. Using the devil means he's not making the devil do what he's doing, but he's like, okay, devil, you do what you want to do, but everything you do is going to help the church become better. And it's going to make the people of God be what he wants. So it's like our training ground. It's like our practice time. It's us using what God has done for us in Christ to overcome the devil and actually prepare us for a life of reigning with Christ, both in the millennium and the ones. So that's an interesting, I would say it's a spiritual insight from the Word of God. It's all backed up by scripture. While the Bible doesn't state it explicitly, we can infer from scripture that this is what God is doing. So I would just share that with you. Samuel, some practical ways to be preemptive. Do we anticipate the enemy's attack with our hand? Yeah. So that's a good question. And the answer is yes. So you think strategically. For example, I'll tell you a very simple, simple thing that happened this morning over the weekend. My wife, AB and I, we had gone to Mangalore. Mangalore is it's not too far from Bangalore. It's about we predict the flight to Mangalore. And, you know, we went there this weekend to minister mainly because of a leadership change. Paul and Diana, who've been serving there for four years, they're moving to Bangalore to take care of one of our churches here. And John Paul and Glads were appointed to pastor the church in Mangalore. So that's what happened this weekend. So we went there to do that and explain to everybody, you know, this is what's happening. So we did that. I came back and then, you know, this morning I was thinking maybe I should send an email to everybody in the congregation in Mangalore. And that's a very simple thing. I'm just trying to give you how to think. Maybe I should send an email or a mass message saying that, hey, you know, thank you, thank you all for your support.  So I was, the thought went through my mind. But immediately, and as I was thinking about, look, it's a very naive thing, nothing complicated. I'm just sending an email to the congregation in Mangalore, you know, blessing them and thanking them, et cetera, and giving them my, wanting to give my number and email and just say, hey, feel free to contact, you know. But so that's a very innocent thing to do. But here's the other thought. If I do that, how will it affect the leaders we have put in place? People, what we really want is, we want the congregation to connect with the leaders we have put in place. And that is, now, of course, it's John Paul and Glads. We want them to connect with them. And we want to empower John Paul and Glads. And we want them to be the leaders. And we want them to go forward here. But if I, by sending an email and saying, hey, feel free to contact me in some way, I will be circumventing that. And in some way, I will be maybe even undermining that leadership. See, we're all one team, but I have to think I must strengthen the leaders. I must not promote myself. So that that congregation in that city must connect very strongly with the leaders we've put in place. A very simple thing. So I said, okay, I'm not going to send that email. I won't do it for this reason. Why? I need to stay out of the picture. The congregation must learn to connect and then that leadership there, they must be strong. I don't want to do anything. Even it's an innocent thing to, in any way, dilute that relationship. Okay. So it's a very innocent thing, very simple thing. But I am thinking because if I do something very innocent like this, just send an email to the congregation in that city, hey, you know, it under in some way dilutes the leadership and the enemy could use a good thing for wrong reasons. So we have to think strategically. What do we want? We don't want people to be dependent on or connected to past ashes. We want them to connect to the leadership there and they have to be strong together and they have to advance. And so that's how we should think. And I'm just so I said, okay, I'm not going to do this. Right. So that's a very simple example. It's very naive. I mean, it's very, very innocent. But there is wisdom. And this is also being preventive or preemptive, you know, in how we function as churches and ministry and so on. We have to think otherwise, an innocent action could give the enemy an opportunity. We are innocent, but we are not wise. So we need to be innocent, pure, but we also need to be wise. Right. I hope I got explained that. So this is a simple example. And now, in many things in our personal lives and how we order so many things analyze all of those things, we have to be very careful, be wise, how you go about things so that, you know, we basically be smarter than the devil. Okay. Any other questions before we wrap up today? So this will be our last class on the course on holiness. I will work on the assessments, put them out and you can work on it through the rest of April. We have a couple of weeks and continue to think about this review the notes, strength establishes in your life. And yeah. Okay. Fine. If there are no more questions, we will close in prayer and we will dismiss. All right. Okay. Let's, I hope all of you benefited from this course and, you know, that you carry the Kennedy question. Any materials to read further on holiness? Now, if you do a search, if you do a search on books on holiness, I would, you know, you would find, for instance, there's a book, I think by R.C. Scrawl, there is, and I kind of forget anything. So if you just do a search, go to our own books on holiness. Now, some of these books may be a little, see, one of the things I like to do is to keep the content very practical, like how do you live it out? So there are a couple of books on holiness written by good Christian authors. You can, you can get them online, you can read them. And maybe I would even recommend this book, Holiness, Holiness Truth and the Presence of God by Francis Franchipane. That's another book. That's a good book, Francis, Holiness Truth and the Presence of God, Francis Franchipane. So these are good resources you could find online, and if you can get your hands on them, I'd encourage you to read it. But what I've tried to do in this course is take scripture, put it together and also keep it very practical. Sometimes some books become very theological and content and then drawing the practical application, it's like, it's a little difficult, but hopefully we've been able to bring some truth, bring truth together and also make it practical. But I'd encourage you to look, definitely, you know, read additional books and do a study in scripture on holiness and take it forward. Okay. All right. I would welcome anyone to invite any one of us to please pray and we will close and dismiss. Shall I pray first? Yeah, please go ahead. Thank you, Father God Almighty.  For you, what you say, Father, you do the author and finisher of our faith. You lead us, Father. You lead us to walk in holiness.  And the way you have led us, Father, to this course, we are so very thankful to you, Father, from the bottom of our hearts for bringing us to this day when we have completed the course, Father. And as we, as we, what we have learned, Father, as we live in it, Father, as we apply to our lives, Father, we ask you the wisdom, the grace, the strength, and Lord Father, you're leading your guidance of the Holy Spirit to do your will on this earth and Father, glorify you, please you in all our ways, in all our walks, Father, all the weaknesses we lay at your feet. And Father, we declare that in your presence, we will go, Father, and do the work for which you've called us, Father. And we thank you for Pastor. We thank you that he was, Lord Father, teaching us so beautifully how to live a life of holiness of our Father. We thank you for everything that we have learned and everything that you want to lead us into, Father. We thank you that we can lean on you. We can trust you in days to come, Father, as Lord Father, you use us for your glory in all ways. Bless every student who's part of PPC Bible College, all the teachers and everyone, Father, and give us the wisdom and knowledge of your love, your, your truth and your word, Father, so that in all things we may glorify you. Once again, we thank you. Once again, we thank you, Father, from the bottom of our hearts, Father.  In the name of Jesus, our Savior, we ask and pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. I see, yeah, Anita has a question about the certificate. Yeah, yeah, you know, we'd encourage everyone to continue and do your third year. Now, if you cannot do your third year online, you can always use the year learning platform. You'll be just listening to the recorded videos, lectures, and you'll get the same certificate as anyone, whether you're doing in-person on campus, online, or through the learning portal, you'll get the same certificate. And in case you're not able to complete the third year, then, of course, you can request a two-year certificate and, you know, you'll be happy to send that to you. So, there's flexibility, but I definitely will encourage you to do the third year, because the third year we do a lot of practical things about church administration, about you know, we do book studies, studying the Bible, chapters in the Bible, books in the Bible in depth, so that's very useful. And we do a lot of practical stuff, practical things. So, I'd encourage you to finish your third year. And also, like I mentioned, one of our earlier things, we are setting up APC World Missions and also another pastors and ministers fellowship. So, APC World Missions is where we're going to, you know, try to help people in the ministries.  So, that's something to keep in mind. Now, we're going to get ourselves, we're getting ourselves organized, but then APC World Missions really is going to help people finish three years with us, so that, because we know, you know, you've got the third year training as well, which is very important. Okay. So, do your best, however, whichever option you want, whether you can do on-person, online class, e-learning, it's all the same, but please do try and finish the three years. Okay. God bless you all. I'll see you again soon. Bye now. Thank you so much, Pastor. We are really blessed. Thank you.


Welcome back everyone to the next generation of storage. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We're here in Palo Alto studio with AJ Singh, Chief Product Officer with Pure Storage. AJ, great to see you. Great to see you too, John. Thanks for coming in. Yes, I'm happy to be here. So you're the Chief Product Officer at Pure. You guys have had an incredible run. Congratulations to you and the company. Thank you. We've been following you guys from day one when Flash first came out. You know, really kind of like against the grain at that time, but now Flash has crossed over economics, sustainability, really obviously next-gen mechanism and ability to store, but now there's more to it. You get the keys to the kingdom over there at Pure Storage as the product lead. As you look at what's happening in the market, what's the storage market evolving to? We're seeing innovation happening in storage. Again, it never goes away because you've got to store the data somewhere, but it's evolving very quickly, certainly with GenervAi. Absolutely, John.  If you think of data, it's kind of exploding. You know, in 2023, roughly 120 zettabytes of data put out there and growing at roughly 25% a year. So just that's 30, 40 zettabytes added every year. And if you think about the budgets though, on the other hand, on the storage teams, the budgets quite are not keeping pace with. So what ends up happening is a lot of storage teams today end up in this kind of run the treadmill of just kind of keep the lights on, keep storage going. And so they're dealing with these issues of, what I would say, still mostly legacy mindset, legacy storage. Flash is traditionally penetrated in the high-end, high-performance side of the marketplace, but we are now here with Flash that we're truly penetrating every corner of storage, rather than tape. But all stages of disk and storage, Flash is here to stay. So what's the main difference between the legacy storage and Flash storage as you look at this next wave coming? Because there's a lot of architectural conversations happening, core cloud, on-premise edge, a lot of things are going on. What's the difference, true difference right now? Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, the two difference really comes down to sort of dealing with challenges like every five years with legacy storage, you've got to go do a forklift upgrade. Typically, that means you have to bring things down, do a data migration. So the reliability aspects are not there. A lot of times people are just used to that storage, but there's a better world out there. You can now run storage with 100% uptime for 10 years straight out with Flash. And even with new technology, you can upgrade the technology, no downtime, we call it non-disruptive upgrades. That's kind of new compared to legacy. Also, storage we feel like is becoming more reliable. You think about hard disk return rates, right? Hard disk return rates are typically two-ish percent. It's well documented, you've got to Google, you know, hard drive return rates, two-ish percent. SSD return rates, which is Flash, by the way, and I'll talk a little bit about how we differ from SSDs, it's about one percent. In our direct Flash module, return rates are roughly 0.5 to 2%. So you can imagine 10x more reliable compared to hard disk, 5x more reliable compared to Flash. And you can imagine, anytime you have a failure, you've got to run a hole, somebody coming in, pulling out the failed drive, rebuild a new drive, it's a lot of labor. So you don't need to put that much labor, you don't need to have the same level of failure rates, you can have much better failure rates, and overall, just a much better outcome for you as a consumer of enterprise storage. Hey, Jay, we were talking before we came on camera about some of the research we did at Wikibon now, it's called theCUBE Research, we just renamed it, because that really was the beginning of the Flash, we had made some forecasts. You have data now, you're seeing that kind of playing out. Can you share what's going on in the Flash, storage, price performance, cost, crossover, because it's clearly going to have some sustainability advantage, but talk about some of that, the trends that you're seeing now, and where it's come from and where it's going. Absolutely, that was a great piece of work done by Wikibon, and if you recall, what that data showed was, if you look at dollar per terabyte of hard disk versus Flash, think about it, right? Hard disk is on its seventh decade of innovation, done a great job, real workhorse of the industry, but the amount of optimization you can eke out of it is now limited, of course, the industry doing hammer and hammer and all that good stuff, and those curves are still reducing on a log scale relatively flat. Flash, on the other hand, is more of the third decade of innovation, as the Wikibon slide showed, a much steeper curve on the price drops of Flash, driven by consumer Flash, laptops, PCs, right? They already gone to Flash, so tons of volume happening, tons of innovation that the Flash vendors are doing, and so that curve is going much steeper, and SSD, what the Wikibon slide showed was, a chart showed was that in 2026, dollar per terabyte of SSD is going to get cheaper than hard disk. Now, we introduced in 2023, our first disks take our product, where we have a lower total cost of ownership with our direct-to-Flash versus SSD compared to SSD in 2023, so our curve compared to the Wikibon SSD curve, if you think of the direct-to-Flash module curve, is three years shifted to the left of that, and predominantly the biggest driver of the shift is if you think about SSD for a minute, when the Flash vendors first came out, they were like, hey, I got this great new technology, can I use it for storage, no moving media and all of that, and people said, yeah, but you know, it's got a proprietary API, all my software is in for disk, so if you can have a talk this to me, I'll use it. So the SSD vendor went back, I mean the Flash vendor went back and they said, oh, here's a new module called Solid State Disk, it talks disk northbound, it talks Flash southbound, but what it is, it's a complex translation engine in between, which has a CPU, uses a ton of memory, it's like, somebody wants to talk to me in English, but I'm first talking to them in Spanish, translating it into English, but direct-to-Flash, we said, let's eliminate this translational layer and just go straight direct-to-Flash, in some sense, someone like a Pure Story, we were born in NAND, and our engineers, they know NAND cold and they're looking at, how do you rehydrate a cell and how do you right-amplify, and in fact, all the NAND vendors come to us and say, hey, how's it going in the field with our NAND supply? The rest of the competition with SSDs, you have an arms length, they have an arms-length relationship to NAND, they're like, ah, NAND, I only want to consume it if it looks like disk, and so they really are not close to NAND, and so that's the reason our curve is kind of left-shifted. Yeah, you got better leverage there, better technology, you guys have always been innovative, I want to get to the market share in a second, but I want to stay on the innovation thread for a second, from day one, it's always been an innovative culture, even with all Flash at that time was controversial, it'll never work, it'll never get escape velocity, it kept getting there. As you look at the innovation now, what is the innovation strategy with Flash, because I see a lot of tactical benefits, I see speed, cost, scale, check, check, check, sustainability, very strong story on sustainability as powers are going to be the constraint. Yes, yes. As we see AI coming, only going to get more important. Yes, yes. You guys do well there. What's the innovation strategy for pure storage as you look at that next wave? Yeah, so the way we think of innovation at Pure is compared to the rest of the industry, we tend to invest about 20% into R&D. So we are really betting for the next decade. We think multi-cloud storage is the next horizontal that is going to become an industry of its own. And we find a lot of our competition tends to be single-digit percent investment in storage. I feel like for some of them, the cloud has been a little bit of a distraction, they're like, oh, all the storage is going to the cloud, maybe we should be focusing on some other things and not on storage and let's put it into private equity mode and all that stuff. We are convinced that storage, multi-cloud storage, flash is the media transition that's happening and we are leading that media transition and flash is needed not only in enterprises but even hyperscalers. Hyperscalers also have a ton of hard disk and they need to change that for all the sustainability, reliability, less labor required type of reasons. So there's a ton of room for innovation there but as you continue to innovate in this space, our view is that starting to of course have a simple portfolio. If you look at a lot of the industries with the new portfolio with flash, you have the opportunity to do that. A lot of the industry has traditionally had low end storage, medium end storage, high end storage, all disk storage, hybrid storage, all flash storage. That's a three by three complexity nightmare, right? Survival customer, I've got bits of pieces of all of these, silo data, it's not a pretty picture. But when you start fresh with flash, you have the opportunity to have a much, take a break from the past and so in our case we have just one purity operating system, one direct flash module that goes into many different areas, one scale up architecture under the hood, one scale out architecture under the hood for latency and throughput applications, one management system and this purity runs on Azure, AWS and on-prem, so it's purity cloud in some sense. And then we have one cloud native architecture with portworks and a cloud operating model with Evergreen and our Evergreen approach. The piece parts come together, in fact we had a research meeting just the other day with our research team, Rob Stretchy and our team, who's now with theCUBE Research, formerly Wikibon as you mentioned. He pointed out that obviously innovation strategy is strong but you guys have the price performance there, so speeds and feeds are coming back, that's a whole nother conversation, but there's a lot of TAM available, there's a lot of big markets still in storage, so tons of headroom, so your comment about private equity is a little bit of a tongue in cheek but the companies that don't have innovation, they don't have a lot of prospects, and so hence the private equity, you meaning they have to kind of sell basically? Exactly, I mean I would always look at any company and if they have anything associated with private equity means I'm kind of giving up on innovation, I mean I'm not going to throw the private equity price under the bus. No, they're arbitrage. Yeah, they're optimizing it for EBITDA, right? On the other hand, I mean, Code words, trade people off and sell and get some dollars back, it's a financial transaction, it's not an innovation transaction. It's not an innovation transaction, right? On the other hand, we see a ton of opportunity in TAM, I mean just if you look at the number of exabytes consumed in the industry, it's literally hundreds and hundreds of exabytes that are still on disk between hyperscalers and enterprises, it's a huge opportunity. We see it as a 50, $60 billion TAM for us, for flash to consume and we feel like we are leading the disruption. And actually when I am talking about disruption for a minute, there are other parallels in the industry, right? Media based disruption, if you think about in the audio industry, right? We had LPs, CDs, Walkmen, then the iPod, streaming media and with every media shift, a new leader emerged, right? We had the Sony Walkmen, then the Apple iPod and then it was Pandora and Spotify on streaming media, media transition, right? Same thing in the video side, you saw that happen as well, right? Hey, it was VHS, DVD, streaming media, like in the VHS DVD days, so we had blockbuster. And the functionality one got better too, everything got better. Yeah, and now streaming media is so much better, right? So we feel like the same transition is happening in the storage industry as it goes from hard disk to flash and we are kind of with a three-year lead leading the charge there. Let's get into some of the market share data. We see IDC seems to suggest you guys are gaining share over the last decade. What's driving that? I'll say it's an innovation strategy. Is it the fact that it's going to outlast out with the competition and you guys have the better product? What's the reason for the share increase? Yeah, and actually the biggest driver of the share increase is that customers start to see that we deliver really compelling outcomes. The industry, the customers care about outcome then I'll elaborate on some of those outcomes. Typically we tend to be two to five X less power. So from a sustainability standpoint, less power compared to other all flash systems, 10 X less power compared to disk systems and space. So power and space, we are much better because of the direct to flash. We don't have that inefficient translation layer sitting in the middle. But we are also 10 X more reliable. We talked about return rates, right? All that extra translation layer that fails all the time, right? So SSD return rates versus our return rates are five X better, right? We tend to be, as a result, fewer failures, easier to operate, less labor to operate. We'll typically be five to 10 X less labor to operate. You talk to a customer, they say, oh, that pure storage array, it kind of just runs. We actually forgot about it. I mean those are some bold numbers. So 10 X, what were the numbers? 10 X, what was the numbers? Yeah, two to five X less power, 10 X more reliable, five to 10 X less labor to operate. And a really consistent, simple product line. Not this three by three matrix that I talked about, right? That's kind of another reason. Well, operation simplicity is one of the cloud ops we're seeing with the cloud, next wave of cloud, it's not your yesterday's IT environment, it's more platform engineering, a lot of important words you mentioned there in there too. So how do you guys deliver those claims? I mean, that's like a pretty significant performance. I think sustainability may seem two X is still damn good. I mean, convinced of the 10 X, big numbers. Yeah, so it comes. How do you deliver those? Yeah, so there are four, really, what we call core sustainable advantages. What I mean by sustainable is it's not like you can get 10 engineers for six months and do it. It's a 200 engineer or four year kind of effort. The first one that we talked about, the direct to flash, we don't have this inefficient translation layer that burns a ton of power, takes a lot of space, so we don't have that, so that's why we do two to five X better power. The same translation layer, by the way, causes a bunch of outages, and it's not as reliable. And if you look at the, from an outcome standpoint, it's public data on 1% return rate for SSDs, we're roughly 0.15 to 0.2%. So five X better on that. Again, the same translation layer. And the labor to operate are evergreen model. So we have engineered into a product that you can upgrade, it's a thing of beauty to watch.  The array is running, put in the new controller, and the thing just keeps running, there's no migration. So an array that somebody bought 10 years ago, 10 years later, is the latest and greatest technology. And over the 10 years, they've had no downtime. So it's truly and always on running storage. That checks on the performance side, checks on the operation side, also on the power side too. Yes, five X less power, it consumes. So that's a big, talk about the, this is one of those things that I won't say is overlooked because people always talk about it, but it's kind of like falls into the save the planet category, people kind of roll their eyes. But it's not so much save the planet, it's much more, we don't have the space in the data center or the power envelope to do it. Absolutely, if you think about power, IT consumes two to 4% of global power, just a macro perspective. And typically storage is 25% of that. So storage could be 25% of 4%, that's a 1% of global power. A lot of that is on inefficient spinning media, hard disk. With Flash, we can cut it by a factor of 10. So imagine that 1% becomes 0.1%. And you can imagine the hyperscalers, places like Ireland, they said, no more data centers, we just don't have the power to give you. So they're like, where do I put my next data center? How do I get the power for it? Iceland. Iceland, yeah. Built-in cooling. Built-in cooling. No, but this is much power and cooling, it's power and cooling. No, but this, I heard, I just heard the other day there was a customer that said, I either got to pay my power bill or my IT person to run it. So if I don't pay the power bill, I don't have IT to run it. If I don't pay the power bill, I can't pay for my IT guy. So you're in this, this is real economic hardship. Absolutely. With the economics of power. Yes, and actually, especially in Europe, it's becoming really big. And in the US too, in California, it's starting to become big and it's starting to pick up here as well. Okay, I got to ask you, you're the product lead. You've got the keys to the kingdom at the company, as I mentioned, because the product is a fun position because you get to see the customer and you see the engineering side of it. How would you describe why Pure's product is so good? In the elevator or at a party, what's the bumper sticker? What's the elevator pitch on why the product's so good? Why is Pure? So innovative, why should I invest? What's in it for me? Why is Pure a great product? So I mean, Pure ultimately is really trying to, what I say, to store, manage and protect the world's data. And the reason the product is so amazing is that we've got the best flash technology in the marketplace, three years ahead of everybody else that takes substantially less power, substantially less space, is much more reliable. And we have the Evergreen model built into it. It's built to just run forever. Think of it as self-driving storage. I mean, imagine from the days of, where you're constantly, so think of it in that sense. We are like self-driving. Why the Evergreen model for the folks that don't know what that is? What does that mean when you say we have the Evergreen model? What does that specifically mean? Yes, what the Evergreen model is that, basically say that once you buy storage from us, the first time, you put your data on the storage, 10 years later, the storage will still be running, and you will have the latest and greatest technology, which means you get software updates, all the latest great from snapshots for ransomware recovery or, you know, snapshots to ransomware snapshots, a bunch of software upgrades, plus the hardware controller, you know, went from PCI Gen2 to Gen3 to Gen4, controller upgrades, all happening on the fly with no downtime. And it's the best in terms of recovery because any of the old parts we recover, be recycled, so it's very friendly from a climate standpoint, but the benefit you get is non-destructive upgrades. You know, it's always on, always running. Awesome. Where is the product portfolio going next? Obviously, you got the roadmap, you got the leading edge in, you've always been innovative, love the innovation strategy, plus you got product leadership, but best of breed, that's table stakes now. You know, it's platform now, you got cloud, it's a platform, market, storage is going to be horizontal. You mentioned that earlier. I would say multi-cloud, or we call it super cloud layers, control planes, starting to see companies build these data planes around their distributed environments, whether it's multiple clouds or environments. I'm sure power at the edge is going to be an important part for this. I can see great things there. Am I kind of on track? I'm like, I'm wondering if you know anything. Absolutely, I think you've kind of said it pretty well. Essentially, we've got this really simple portfolio that runs on-prem with these amazing numbers, runs on the cloud. On the cloud, by the way, we can save customers storage costs, 50% of the storage cost, running on the cloud itself by coming in between. So think of us, we've taken this simple portfolio and we're elevating it into a platform. And the platform is, think of it as a storage cloud that effectively runs in the public cloud on the edge, on-premise, with a control plane that is all API-driven, where you can track your data. It has metadata in the control plane. You can track your data. You're creating snapshots. So essentially, think of it as a, you had a CMDB for configuration management database. Think of it as a data management data, DMDB, right? Tracking your global data. Now think of the AI use case. The biggest challenge in AI today, if you think for a minute, is that the data is locked up in silos all over the place called the old model. And so if I have to suddenly train a model, I got to go copy the data everywhere, then train the model. And now I need to drive inferences from the model. And then I'm going to figure out where that data out there, I have to cleanse it. But with this approach, your data is always on. And it's always on with a truly unique technology in flash that is highly sustainable, very friendly, very reliable so that your data is available and you can start to drive inferences from that data now, right? And get those applications that'll help you win in the digital transformation. I think the Evergreen model also points to the fact that as the Gen AI comes in, you'll need software updates to manage this inference. When to make data available, governance, a lot more intelligence in how to manage the data is going to come down and be programmable, not so much human driven. API driven, both for traditional and cloud native. You know, we haven't talked much about Portworx, but Portworx is effectively our solution for the cloud native side. It's all integrating into the platform. So the platform will be truly for both traditional and cloud native applications and being able to... We've been covering Portworx, I got to say that's a secret weapon you guys have with Portworx. It's doing great. Doing great, it fits into the platform. I think that's a nice tie into where I see Kubernetes going, because as we pointed out in theCUBE, Kubernetes is getting boring, which means it's working. Like Linux, no one talks about Linux anymore other than it's a standard, everyone runs it. There's no Linux conference anymore. So we see KubeCon evolving into the conversation of platform engineering and end to end platform data engineering. Absolutely. It's coming very fast. And we got great research on that. We've been reporting on it. Data engineering is the next persona for IT. And this is where the data platform, right for both cloud native and traditional that enables you to, now imagine back to the AI example, you know, of course you need the data to be able to train models and all of that, but then to write the training apps or the inference apps, a lot of times they're written for the first time and they're written on containers, using Kubernetes. So, you know, we've got many cases where Portworx is on training apps and inference apps and our core platform is on the training side. AJ, it's always great to chat with you on theCUBE. It's like we're having a little RIF session here. It's like we need a whiteboard, a great leadership.  Yes. I call it disruptive enabler. It's disrupting the status quo, but you're also enabling a transformation for the future. What are the customers seeing for benefits? What can they expect for the next gen storage to enable them to do? And what are they doing today? Take me through customer anecdotal use case or a slice of life of a customer of today and then what this will enable for them. Yeah, so you think of the slice of life, a life of a customer today, right? It's kind of, I've got limited budget. I'm kind of running on this constant treadmill of upgrading my storage, a forklift upgrades. I'm running constant, hey, I've got to flip a failed drive, put in a new drive. So it's a constant kind of treadmill, right? And it's quite fragmented. A lot of grinding. A lot of grinding, different use case, fragmentation by use case. Now, if you think of the model of this storage cloud, a consumption-centric model, so we have the Evergreen One, which is focused on that. It's a true horizontal cloud where now the failure rates are dramatically less. Two, you're not running this treadmill of upgrades all the time. It just seamlessly upgrades. So you're always on the latest technology. And you're leveraging public cloud storage resources, edge storage resources, and on-prem storage resources with data that is annotated and tracked. So imagine this data, and with data services, that you can now truly work with this data to get the insights that you need to drive to gain a competitive edge in the digital transformation. Data is gold, and we are truly unlocking this gold for our customers. Yeah, and I think the idea of having storage is always there, available for developers, available for the app developers, and then platform engineers. Yes. Key to have that platform. And again, the horizontal speaks to the availability of data. Absolutely, absolutely. AJ, great to have you on. Thanks for coming on for the next generation storage session. Appreciate it. Thanks, John. Appreciate it. Okay, in a moment, Prakash will be on, who's the general manager of digital experience for business unit that's pure storage. We'll be here in studio. You're watching theCUBE. The leader in high tech enterprise coverage, extracting the signal from the noise. We'll be right back.


The study evaluated the functionality and usability of a mobile app called Amor Mama, which guides and monitors patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Only one item of the evaluation tool obtained a concordance index less than 80%, indicating that the app is suitable for use, but more studies are needed to assess its performance and quality during use. This article was authored by Flavia Oliveira de Almeida Marquez de Cruz, Edison Tosfaria, Pablo Cardolino-Gobad, and others.


Oh, and welcome back to the average today. We're doing an interesting task. Aren't we Chris? That's right Chris is back. Everyone's favorite person of this channel Yeah, thank you We're gonna do this challenge I saw on tiktok where a couple or friends or whatever whatever we are We are gonna do this challenge I saw on tiktok where people a couple of people I mean just to be just in two people. Okay We start this we are gonna We are doing a challenge I saw in tiktok where there's two people one person paints for five minutes Then they exchange the painting and the person paints for five minutes and then they swap and swap and swap until the paintings done So me and Chris are gonna do this and I don't know who's gonna go first me or you you me. What about you? Okay, so I think we're gonna do five minutes five minutes five minutes five minutes. What do you think? And also whilst we're doing this the other person can't be in the room so bye Chris So I have my five minute timer and I'm gonna get going I Don't quite know what to draw. I'm really wondering now what to do because Starting the painting which is always not a great Thing when you haven't really thought about what you're gonna do I also forgot to mention that we've got loads of different materials here. So we've got gouache my two gouache palettes My pencil case the Karen dash Guys, I know how to say it now I think inks I'm panicking now because I want to start painting and wasting time Explaining when it should be painting but first of all I want to stain this canvas because it's always good Oh my gosh, the timer is actually making me panic a bit. I can't open this. I can't open this Oh my gosh, this is gonna take 10 more seconds of my precious time. I didn't realize how quick five seconds was actually That was way too much paint waiting to get a bigger brush and a bigger brush I'm just gonna try and cover this cameras with a thin layer of this pink, which is just you know, hasn't happened I put too much Orangey pink. I guess you would call this I just realized I have this spot. I'm gonna do this That is that much better. Okay. This is great. This is a nice color now. We just need to wait for it to dry Didn't think that one through Bounce maybe What I'm gonna do is just outline and then it will be like Chris's problem Tin, I don't know. Maybe we should have like a cat here. Uh, I'm not sure about this I'm not sure about these leaves. I think what we'll do is let this layer dry. I'm out of time. I'm out of time Chris you may enter so I didn't get very far. I've realized that five minutes is not very much time Uh, but here you go. You've got this to finish. Okay. Let's make the transition Chris. It's your turn Oh, I'm here now.  I'm gonna start by fitting in this plant. I think I don't know. All the colors are mixing together And we can do like a Cactus or something I guess the good thing about this is you just have to make really snap decisions because you haven't zero time Like you can't spend five minutes Thinking about what color you want because you haven't got five minutes I don't know Why did I pick this color? All right, it's Steph's problem Okay, my time's up It's a cat. You're so funny. I picked the wrong color. Maybe like a yellow I think you guys. Okay. Bye. A yellow It's like when I went straight with the group wash in the little bit Let's get started. I think what I want to do is focus on the cat because this is just Not gonna work a blue cat. Maybe that's the the aim here is like paint an item For five minutes and then see if that works rather than focusing on the whole thing Okay, so his eyes are like here try not to look at the timer Just try to paint a little bit better than I have been I feel like this is not going well at all. Okay, the color in the background as well I have one minute left. It feels like I had way less time the first time the first time round but Okay, time's up I tried to draw Kubo a little bit from this reference image But you can use as well Okay, um I recognize him which is crazy No It's very rough still. So let's I know it's so it's rough. I still knew it was him. Okay. Good. All right. Let's continue That's my turn Okay, this is looking good. I think yeah, that definitely looks like Kubo. So that's good I really like the mark making you've done as well. Uh, yeah, so I'm about to rule No, that's that's funny. That's real funny. I was gonna say I didn't really have much choice. It's just gonna go Yeah, you gotta speak you gotta go with what I've said as well. Like what I've done Yeah, and I've got to go with what you've done because this red now Yeah, I was doing the red because of the green and makes the green Hmm very good choice. Okay my turn. I need your cactus by the way. Oh It's funny. Oh, I don't know how to draw cactus. I was just having a reference. Just do this green on top.  It looks great. I was starting to use these Because I just felt like it. Did it work? Is that? Yeah. Is that the crayon? Yeah, so you can like quit it I'm just showing you example. I'm not continuing the painting. I'm just showing you an example. It's fine And wait a minute. It looks like I'm gonna continue the painting Okay, it's your turn again. Let's go So you've done more plant You've also got rid of the extra plant bits that I added. Yeah Cool a couple is out Did a bit of pruning. Uh, but why is this like random? Whatever. That's my plant shape. Do you not like it? I do like it But it's just like Random like in the composition just a random one. What was it before? I was just gonna do loads of plants like as if he's in the bushes. But you can still do that. True. All right. Bye Okay, do you make it 10 minutes each? Okay, let's make it uh seven Yeah, okay ready? This is a mess for you now I feel like this project is so hard. I think we need more like reference images for the plants and stuff as well No, I just just want you. All right Good luck. It's your turn Hello time's up Okay, it looks good I need to do the highlights Um, I think I really hate doing this because I just feel like every time I come back The work that I did before has been painted over and nothing new has been added So it's kind of like frustrating me a bit. This this this Project that we've decided to do ourselves, but let's keep going. Okay. Bye chris. All right. Why don't you do the No, you may not interfere. Why don't you do the plants? Huh? Why don't you do the plants? Bye. I did not I did not need a brown. Have you got any browns? Stop with the browns. Browns here. The yin yang. All right. Bye Did you go over your time? This is so frustrating like it's like just as you get into it into the group. It's like you've got to start So I like kubi. I like the highlights you've done. Yeah, I feel like he's getting there with kubes So if you could just leave him alone and I'll leave kubi alone and I'll do some plants Excellent news for me. Excellent news. Although, I was discussing something a bit cheesy Who's gonna stop us? No one's gonna stop us cheating. The comments. The comments. Oh, no, no, no Sorry about the comments. Please forgive me. All right. Yeah, let's go again. Okay Stop. I'll never stop. My turn I'm kind of losing patience with this now It's because it's taking ages Yeah, I think as well like I don't know why I put a cat in it. I was like, yeah a cat and I was like, oh my gosh Just paint a cat. Although maybe we should just be a bit more loose with it. I'm kind of like how it's looking anyway putting money Sorry, I mean yeah, and it's great. After this joyous comment from chris. I decided that maybe uh, I've had enough of speaking to each other No, um, I'm just doing a voice over now because I think we got heavy into just painting for seven minutes And then went on for ages and ages. So the rest of this is just speed painting I'm gonna be honest with you guys. We got a little bit fed up with this So that's the challenge. It was fun and then not fun and then a bit of fun. It's it's kind of fun I don't know. Maybe it's just we had a tool of an ambitious project I'm gonna say that also it's very difficult to let go and let somebody else take over your work You can probably tell in the video that we're getting a bit jokingly obviously jokingly frustrated, but a little bit frustrated nonetheless Anyway, I think towards the end chris got a little bit cheaty again as well going over too many Seconds that were not there. So just let that be in the courts to decide And uh, you will be the judge and executioner did chris cheat on this project. Let me know That's it. That's the final look. What do you think chris? I mean it was super hard to do. It's like Say what you think? Wait a minute. Are you chris or me? Yeah, I think I'm never ever doing this challenge again It's very stressful and impossible because you haven't got any time Pretty much, but yeah, I kind of like it. It's just I think there's too much stuff I think it's like once you get into it You don't have enough time to just keep going. So you kind of again Kind of forget what you were doing before when you went. Yeah, he's kind of cute kind of cute though Anyway, that's the painting. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you guys next time. Make sure you like and subscribe It will really help me out and thank you. Yeah, follow me at uh average tumblr chris dot Instagram That's not true.  All right. Bye guys

The project basically is a community engagement project where police engage with members entering the safe night precinct of Cephas Paradise. They're offered a free RBT because obviously preloading is an issue in our safe night precincts where people actually go out and drink before they come out. From other studies we found that first of all that people were about 80% of people were preloading, now it's about 90%. And what we've found is that the preloading predicts how drunk people are when they go home with a huge amount of variance we can predict it quite accurately.  By spending 10 minutes with a patron to do an RBT, to give them their reading, to explain to them you know the the issues with their with their reading in relation to them becoming a victim or possibly an offender later on the night. People underestimated quite drastically how drunk they were. They overestimated how drunk everybody else was in the city and so in their mind they're playing catch-up all the time. For the result of this initiative my frontline officers has observed a dramatic reduction in the number of alcohol, fuel, violence incidents and a reduction in the number of arrests, a reduction in the use of force that we have to apply to resolve those incidents and overall a more positive engagement experience with the patrons on the night so this is wrong. There was a reduction in the number of assaults about 58% increased in police legitimacy. A lot of people don't have contact with police and they seem to think that police only engage with members of public when they're taking enforcement action whereas this is is quite the opposite it's like it's a positive community engagement activity and they get something out of it and we get something out of it.
