This is the first part of this unit on nuclear safety. We will see first some definition and element of basic nuclear physics. And in the second part, you will see some description of the main component of PWRs. But it is first important to give some definition of the main concept which are used here. And to make an distinction between nuclear safety, radiation protection, nuclear security and industrial safety. Nuclear safety covers technical and organizational measures related to design, construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, as well as transport of radioactive substances, defined to prevent accidents and mitigate the consequences should they happen. Radiation protection against ionizing radiations covers regulation and processes to avoid or to reduce direct or indirect harmful impacts of radiation on peoples and environment. Nuclear security covers technical and organizational measures to prevent malevolent actions on nuclear installation, as well as diversion of radioactive materials. Eventually industrial safety covers non-nuclear risk in a nuclear facility. You will find this definition in a textbook, but it's important to know that depending on the country, these different concepts are not covering exactly the same thing. So let's begin now with a description of the atom structure. We will use the Bohr atomic model, in which an atom is modeled as a positively charged nucleus with negatively charged electron surrounding it. The nucleus itself is composed of nutrients and protons, and this figure provides a schematic representation of an atom. This implies that any nucleus could be identified by the couple NZ, with N representing the number of neutrons, and then Z representing the number of protons. As an example, the hydrogen nucleus made of one neutron and one proton corresponds to the couple 1-1. Let's define now the concept of radioactivity. Most nuclei are stable, but some are not. For some nuclei, there is a probability of spontaneous disintegration. That means that their structure suddenly changes to reach a stable form with a modification of mass and hence an exchange of energy with the environment. These take the form of radiation emission, which is a characteristic of radioactive substance. An element is radioactive if it can disintegrate spontaneously with an emission of radiation. There are different types of radiation that are different types of particles to be emitted. The first is the gamma ray, which is an electromagnetic radiation. A second type of radiation is called beta and is composed of electrons. A third one is called alpha and alpha particles are actually helium nucleus. And then there are the neutrons. Let's introduce now the concept of radioactive alpha-life. The natural radioactivity of unstable nuclei consists in its disintegration through radioactive radiation. Let us consider a population of nuclei or radioactive elements. We can observe a natural decrease with time in the population due to natural radioactivity. As we can see in this figure, there is a decrease by half of the number of nuclei after a period of time named radioactive alpha-life. We are coming now to the core of the physics of a nuclear reactor, which is the fission reaction. Some heavy nuclei like uranium-235 or plutonium-239 are called fissile material. Because if they are eaten by a neutron, they can split into two or more products. At the same time, emitting a lot of energy and a certain number of neutrons in average 2.5. These neutrons in turn could eat the fissile nuclei and produce new fissions. This is a continuing process that we call the chain reaction. You will see now in this small video to come more detail about this concept of fission and the nuclear chain reaction and the way to control it. Neutrons play a key role in the chain reaction. When a neutron hits a nucleus of an atom, it either just bounce off corresponding to elastic collision or be absorbed, in which case a capture reaction takes place, frequently associated with the emission of a gamma ray. Another possibility, in the case of certain rare heavy nuclei such as uranium-235, is a fission reaction. This releases energy and two, three or four neutrons corresponding to 2.5 on average. And it is this that makes a chain reaction possible. If, at a given moment in time, a thousand fissions occur in the reactor core, this results in the emission of 2,500 neutrons. After a certain number of collisions, these neutrons can disappear in three ways. Fission, capture by different nuclei or escape from the reactor, which is referred to as leakage, in what proportions? Appropriate arrangements are made to obtain exactly 1,000 fissions when the fission rate is maintained at a constant power, around 1,450 captures and 50 escapes. This is the relative proportions of fission, capture and leakage if the chain reaction is to be exactly self-maintaining. When a thousand fissions give a thousand fissions, the multiplication factor k, by which the number of fissions is multiplied from one generation to the next, is equal to one, in which case the reactor is said to be critical. If the number of fissions is then made to slightly increase relative to the captures, and if the number of fissions is increased, for instance, from 1,000 to 1,001, the multiplication factor exceeds one, in which case the reactor is said to be supercritical. The power level then increases from generation to generation. If, conversely, the number of captures is made to slightly increase relative to the fissions, and if the number of fissions is decreased, for instance, from 1,000 to 998, the multiplication factor is then less than one, in which case the reaction is said to be subcritical, and the power level decreases. It will later be seen how it is possible to vary the multiplication factor by using the control rods, or the boron present in the primary coolant, to adjust the reactor power as required. For a nuclear reactor to operate there need to be three main components, the fuel where the fission reaction will occur, then a moderator, because the neutron emitted by the fission reaction have too high speed to be able to produce another fission reaction. So they have been to be slowed down. And the third element is a coolant, because the quantity of energy that is produced by the fission reaction need to be extracted and to be used afterwards. And so these three components are essential. The fuel is azur uranium, and especially the U235 isotopes, which is the only one to be fissile, and the plutonium 239. Uranium could be used azur on its natural form, or it could be enriched in its isotopes 235. And this fuel could take the form of azure metal, oxide, carbide, nitride, ion molten salt. The different moderator use have been graphite, deuterium, or water, the simplest one. And as coolant we can use water, CO2, helium, or liquid metals, such as sodium or lead. So these components could be combined in different ways, and they are, let's give, different types of reactors. So if we categorize the reactors by moderator, the first moderator use was heavy water. And the coolant associated with the moderator could be CO2, heavy water itself, or nitrogen, and in these reactors the fuel is on the oxide form. Another type of moderator was graphite, and the coolant could be used with this reactor are azure air, water, CO2, or helium, and the fuel could be on different form, metal, oxide, or molten salt. And the most common type of moderator is just water, which is in the same time the coolant. The fuel is on an oxide form. And the last category of reactor has no moderator. The coolant, because of the high density of this reactor, a very efficient coolant should be used, and it's usually liquid metal or a molten salt, but the fuel could be either in the metal, oxide, carbide, or nitride form. Several types of reactors have been experienced during the research period, but we are only now going to see the main ones. So the first type of reactors use natural uranium as fuel, and the first category use gas as coolant and graphite as moderator. They are called MAGNOX. This is a type of reactor that has been built in the UK, or uranium, natural, and gas graphite in France. Another type of reactor using natural uranium has heavy water as both coolant and moderator. This reactor has been built mainly in Canada, and they are called KANDU. Another type of industrial reactor use unreached uranium, and they are the most common. We can see the gas graphite, which has been developed in the UK, the AGR. The water as coolant and graphite as moderator, this is a Russian type of reactor, a kind of reactor of Chernobyl, which are called Airbnb. And the most common type of reactor using unreached uranium that use water both as a coolant and as a moderator. And among this family, there are the pressurized water reactors. The boiling water reactor or the VVER, which is a sort of pressurized water reactor, but with a sort of specific design developing in Russia. Another type of industrial reactor, which is not yet fully industrial, are the fast breeder, which have no moderator and which could use liquid metal, mainly the sodium or lead. And the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, we used helium as a coolant. This figure gives an evolution of the reactor types and what we call reactor generation. It's a development along the age. The first generation was built in the 50s and 60s. They were early prototype reactors. The second generation was designed during the 60s, 70s, and it covers the commercial power reactor already operating in this category. You have the light-water reactor, I mentioned, the Kandu, the VVER and the RBMK. We are now beginning to develop and to build reactors that are falling in what we call the generation three. They are advanced light-water reactors like the ABWR by General Electric or the AP600 developed by Westinghouse or the European Pressurized Reactor developed by Arriva. Some efforts have been made to run this type of reactor a little bit more economical and they fall in this category of gen three plus, which will be built in the coming years. At the end, this is this generation four reactor where the objective had to be highly economic to have a better safety level to minimize the waste and this type of reactor is more resistant to proliferation.


Light in the real world is a quite complicated phenomenon. There's different degrees of light intensity, there's different wavelengths of light, and how those wavelengths and intensities interact with various surfaces which they strike, that really is quite complicated. But in rendering, we're going to work with a simplified conception of light, in which we imagine the points on the surface to have what we can call its base color, its innate color of that point. And a light ray which hits it also has its own color. So given a base color and the color of the light striking it, those are combined by multiplication to get a resulting RGB value. So here, for example, assuming we have this base green color of 0.4 for red, 0.6 for green, and 0.2 for blue, and it is being struck by a light whose r value is 1, its green value is 2, and its blue value is 0.2, and so when multiplied together, the result is 0.4, 1.2, and 0.04. Now of course, when we actually display RGB values, the component values are capped at 1, nothing can exceed 1. So say here, when the green component of our light is 2.0, we can't really visualize that. So instead we're just showing the color with 2 reduced down to 1. And same for our result, we can't really display a green value of 1.2, so it's just being displayed as if it's simply 1. But it's important that our lights can have components exceeding 1, because that represents in effect an intense light, which when we shine onto a surface, produces a result that's brighter than the base color itself. In this example, the base color is starting with a green value of 0.6, and we're effectively doubling that. This does reflect real world behavior, because you have an object say that you might perceive as being red under normal lighting conditions, so reasonably well lit room, but then of course in the dark room it's black, you can't see it at all, but under very intense light conditions, what you think of as being normally red, well then this color might appear to be a much lighter red, and if the light's intense enough it might even appear white. So when we think of a point on an object as having an innate base color, well that's just the color we see when we shine a white light on it, that's not too bright, that doesn't have too much intensity. For most materials, you start shining a brighter and brighter white light on it, and the surface itself will begin to appear more and more white. So when we talk about lighting and rendering, our end goal is for every pixel, for every point on the surface, every fragment, we want to compute what the light value for that point should be. We know what the base color of a fragment should be, that's usually something we sample from a texture, or sometimes from color attributes of the vertices, or perhaps from a combination of multiple sources, like say we could sample from multiple textures and somehow blend those values together to get our base color, but then we want to multiply that base color by some light color. So we need to know what lights with what colors and intensity are striking this point, and if there's multiple light sources hitting this one point, we want to combine them all together, and light very simply acts in an additive fashion. So we can just take these different light colors and add them together to get our combined light value, and that is what we multiply by the base color. So here for example, if I have this green light and this yellow light, I add them together and I get a combined light that's 1.4, 2.1, and 0.4. So another question is, for light sources in our scene, how do we compute for each point on the surface the intensity and color of light coming from each light source? Well, the foundation for how this is handled in real-time rendering at least is what's called the Fong shading model, where we have three primary kinds of light, ambient, diffuse, and specular. The idea of ambient light is that, well, in most scenes with most kinds of typical lighting, light generally is only coming from a few directions, but it is bouncing off of surfaces and scattering around the whole scene such that very little, or perhaps even nothing in the scene, should be totally dark. And so rather than trying to account for all the ways in which light might bounce around the scene, which is something we may try and do in ray tracing, but in real-time rendering without ray tracing, that is just too costly. And so we have this ambient light factor, which is just a very simple hack. We just assume that for all points on all surfaces, there's this pervasive ambient color of light just hitting everything. For the ambient light calculation, there's no regard for where any light sources are positioned, relative to the surface, or where the camera is, none of that matters. Every point simply gets the same amount of ambient light. Now, how you determine what the ambient light level in the scene should be, that could simply be hard set by the environment artist when they set up the scene. In more sophisticated schemes, you might dynamically compute an ambient light level from how many lights are in the scene and how much intensity you might average between them. In some cases, you might not apply the same ambient light level to everything in the environment. You might have it change for different parts of the environment. But when it comes time to render a model, for the ambient light component, that's just simply a color of light that's passed in, and no further calculation is needed. What we call diffuse light, on the other hand, does take into account where lights are positioned relative to a point on the surface. What we care about is the respective angle. The rays of light are striking the point face on, such that it's perpendicular to the surface at that point. Then we apply that light source's color with full intensity. So if my light is pure white, if it's 1, 1, 1, then it's not diminished at all when it strikes the surface fully perpendicular. If, though, our surface is parallel to the light source, then we don't want any contribution at all, because, of course, the light rays will pass by the surface rather than strike it. And if the surface faces away from the light, of course also it should be 0. But for angles of the surface, in between parallel and perpendicular, we want a linear gradation from 0, no intensity, totally dark, to 1, full intensity. And so, as we'll see later, we want to scale the diffuse light component based on the angle from the light source to the point on the surface. Be clear, though, that for diffuse light, we're not going to take into account where the camera is positioned. We call this the diffuse component, because we imagine that when this light is striking the surface, it is scattering in all directions equally. Instead of the light rays bouncing off at a reflected angle, they're just scattering everywhere, because the surface is rough enough to scatter the light rays in all directions instead. And it turns out that for most materials in the world, this is pretty much how to behave. When light strikes a typical object, the light rays do tend to scatter in all directions fairly equally. Not perfectly equally, but fairly equally. That's the approximation in most cases. For the specular component, however, this is accounting for light tending to bounce off of surfaces primarily at the inverse angle, such that if your camera or your eye is looking at that point of the surface in the path of the reflected angle, then you get a much-intensive light for that point. And so, this has the effect of creating bright spots and making the object look shiny, because in the real world, only smooth, generally metallic surfaces look the same way. And you can see in the diagram here that when we take our ambient diffuse and specular components and add them all together, you get an object that looks smooth and shiny, like it's metallic, because of these specular highlights. So in practice, what we'll do is that for objects that aren't meant to be shiny, there's a constant that will govern the specular intensity, and we'll tweak that constant to make some objects look shiny and other objects look rough. There's a new major phenomenon that this model is not accounting for. We're not really properly accounting for indirect light or shadows. Indirect light is a phenomenon of light from our light sources hitting surfaces and then bouncing off and hitting other surfaces one, two, three, four, however many times. It's because of indirect light that things that aren't directly hit by a light source still tend not to be totally dark. If you're outside on a sunny day and you look into the shadows, because intense sunlight is bouncing off of everything in the world in a chaotic fashion, and so it's very rare for anything in the out-of-doors to be totally dark. Unless you look into a tunnel or a deep well, some amount of light is going to bounce around and hit pretty much everything. Again, in most variants of ray tracing done today, accounting is done for light bounces, for indirect light, but that is computationally expensive, and so it's not something until very, very recently that has been viable at all for real-time rendering. There are alternative techniques that can be viable in real-time rendering, what's generally called global illumination, but that's a quite advanced rendering topic that we probably won't cover. As for shadows, well, the fog model for simplicity and also more for just efficiency does not try and account for obstructions in the path between lights and points on surfaces, and so it's as if our lights just shine through every obstruction, and this obviously is not realistic. What can be done about this is that there are some techniques for adding shadows back in. After computing the fog shading, we can figure out where the shadows are supposed to be, and then after the fact darken our images at those points to account for shadowing. Unfortunately, the algorithms that do this are very imperfect and quite expensive, so we definitely can't have perfect shadows in real-time, but we can still get some pretty decent results. Looking now at the first of the lighting examples, this one called colors, we now have these two boxes. The one in the top right, the small white box, that is just meant to represent the light source is just to visualize where the light source is coming from, the single point light that emanates in all directions, and our orange box now in this example is only being lit by ambient light. There's no diffuse or specular component, so in fact the light is irrelevant to this current box, and in fact the light color for the ambient light is simply just 1, 1, 1, so we're just seeing the base color of this box fully lit in effect, but looking at the code very quick, I won't go through all of this, it's just setting up two boxes to render, nothing we haven't seen before, except now in this example and the ones that follow we're going to have two separate shader programs, one for rendering the so-called lamp for that little white box that illustrates the light, and nothing interesting is going on there, it's just painting all the pixels white, but then our other shader, the so-called lighting shader here, that is for the orange box, which we're going to apply lighting to in the later examples, so for now we look at its fragment shader, it's getting an object color and a light color multiplying them together, and this is going to end up the same value for all fragments of the box, and so it's effectively just an ambient light. Now how do we compute the diffuse light? As I described it depends upon the angle at which the light strikes the surface, so what we're going to need is a vector from the light source to the point, but actually we're going to want the inverse vector, we want the point from the surface to the light source, and we want this normalized, we want the unit vector in that direction, and we'll call this L, and in the case where the surface is perpendicular to the light, then the normal at that point and L are going to be one in the same, they're going to be pointing in the same direction, and they're both normalized so they're both unit vectors. However, as the light source moves or the surface changes angle, as the angle between L and N increases from 0 up to 90 degrees, we want the diffuse light to linearly scale down to 0. Once N and L are perpendicular, meaning that the surface is parallel to the light, then we want the light to contribute no diffuse lighting. And of course when the angle is greater than 90 degrees, that means that the surface is pointing away from the light, the front side is not being hit by the light, well then we want the lighting to be 0 as well. So conveniently it's the case that if you take the dot product and do unit vectors, in this case N and L, if they're coincident, if they point in the same direction, then you're going to get the value 1. If they're perpendicular you're going to get 0. If the angle is greater than 90 degrees you're going to get a negative value and as we go from parallel to perpendicular it linearly increases from 0 to 1. So we can take the dot product and multiply it by the light color and that gets us the diffuse component for that light. For many of multiple lights, we do this computation separately for each light but just like always when we combine light components we just add them all together into one light color. Note however that the workload for this calculation does scale with a number of lights. Every additional light is an additional computation. Now for this computation we need both N and L, either both in world space or in view space. Either way it works because it's just a little easier for our examples we'll do so in terms of world space. We'll find L in world space while the position of the light is already defined in terms of world space but for each fragment we're rendering we need its world space coordinate. And so what we're going to see in our vertex shader is that we have an output variable for the world space coordinate. GL position of course is always set to the clip space coordinate but we're also going to compute the world space coordinate. And then on our fragment shader the three world space vertices will be interpolated in a perspective correct way and so we'll have the fragments coordinate and world space like we need to find L. For our normal vector N well in our models at each vertex we're going to have a normal vector attribute but these normals are defined in terms of the local model space in the vertex shader we're going to need to transform them into world space, store that in an output variable and then in the fragment shader we'll get the linear interpolation we need for that fragment. The question though is how do we transform vectors? You might naively assume that we can just apply the same transform matrix onto our vectors as we do for the vertices of a model but no it doesn't work that way firstly because you should not translate normals. Here for example considered in two dimensions the white lines are the axes let's say X and Y and that orange line is the edge of a polygon and that green sticking out represents the normal which we also are depicting jutting out from the origin because that's of course how normals are actually defined they're simply just points relative to the origin. We'll imagine that the vertices of this edge gets translated they get shoved over to the right we add to their X component but when we translate the vertices the normal should remain unchanged the angle of the edge has not changed it's just shifted over and yet if we were to apply the same translation to our normal vector what we get is depicted by the red line and no longer points in the right direction it's not perpendicular to the edge now if we just want to rotate our normals that actually is not an issue for rotations we could just apply the same rotation transform matrices and for scaling as long as the scaling is uniform such that the scaling factor for X, Y and Z are the same so that they're all being say doubled or tripled or cut in half but as long as they're being scaled in the same way the scaling will change the magnitude of the vector either make it longer or shorter but it will point in the right direction for non-uniform scaling however if say we're doubling the X's but not scaling the Y's of the Z's then we have a problem because then what we would get is something like this here the X's and only the X's are being doubled and now the edge has a different angle and so now properly the normal should be tilted counter-clockwise but if we apply the same non-uniform scaling to our normal vector if we double the X's then what we get is this red line which actually has been rotated in the opposite direction so this is simply not the correct result now it turns out that given a transform M that we're going to apply to our vertices to get the correct transformation for the vectors even if it has non-uniform scaling we can take the inverse of M and then the transpose or vice versa which turns out to be equivalent if you take the inverse and then the transpose or the transpose and then the inverse you always get the same result it turns out but either way we get a transform potentially with non-uniform scaling that still correctly transforms our vectors remember though we never want to apply translation onto our normals so we simply take our 4x4 transform matrix and cut it down to a 3x3 matrix get rid of the right column in the bottom row and then we have a 3x3 transform matrix that we can multiply on the VEC3 that is our normal


SCP-729-J Object Class Keter Bum-yul! Guys, you're hurting his feelings, he's just trying to help. Bum-yul is… Special Containment Procedures SCP-729-J currently resides in Dr. Niles Hesson's office on her desk, where, pray to God, it will stay. Request testing at your own risk.  We are all at its mercy. Dr. Hesson has been commanded to turn in SCP-729-J, for it to be properly contained, as soon as someone can get up the courage to write her an email.  The label says it's made of polyester fiber, but we all know it's made of the Devil's couch stuffing, or something. Its reign of terror began during a containment breach of SCP-106. SCP-106 had managed to trap Dr. Hesson in her office, and had successfully corroded a hole in the door when it caught sight of THAT goddamn thing, I mean SCP-729-J. SCP-106 stopped moving completely, and began staring at SCP-729-J, showing no interest in Dr. Hesson. SCP-106 then began moving backwards out of Dr. Hesson's office, never breaking visual contact with that eldritch horror, I mean SCP-729-J, until it reached the end of the hall and promptly rematerialized back into its containment cell. It should be noted that SCP-106's middle fingers were raised for the entirety of the encounter with SCP-729-J. SCP-106's reaction is, frankly, perfectly understandable, and several researchers who witnessed the event were found huddling with SCP-106 in its containment cell. SCP-2006 Effects SCP-2006 screeched upon being introduced, and assumed a form identical to SCP-729-J. SCP-2006 has not changed form since the encounter. SCP-1322 Effects SCP-729-J was sent through the wormhole to the SCP-1322 Society. It was returned six minutes later, tied to a white flag. SCP-303 Effects When Dr. Hesson was told to walk through a door with 303 on the other side while holding SCP-729-J, SCP-303 promptly opened the door for Dr. Hesson, and ushered her through before quickly exiting the room, with Dr. Hesson showing no sign of the usual fear response. SCP-303 was found six hours later in an abandoned storage closet, in a fetal position, sucking its thumb. SCP-3000 Effects SCP-729-J was put on a fishing hook and lowered into the sea, to where the current position of SCP-3000 was found with radar. After two hours of lowering it into the sea, Dr. Starlin complained about a cramp in his hand from unwinding the fishing pole, and Dr. Bayer took over. Another 50 minutes later, the assumed death of SCP-3000 was reached. After two minutes, a tug was felt on the fishing pole, and SCP-3000's presence swiftly disappeared from the radar. As Dr. Bayer also complained of his hand hurting, retrieval of the end of the fishing line was postponed. I told them both they should do stretches beforehand, but no! We play Halo every Friday! Our wrists are trained! Should have listened, Dr. Bayer. The next day, after proper warm-up, SCP-729-J was successfully retrieved, along with a crudely written note attached to it reading, Alright, I thought we had a deal. I turned some consciousness to spaghetti, and you guys get your regretty for Giddy. But okay, you won. You get the spaghetti stuff for free. Lifetime supply. But please, just this one condition. Keep that thing out of my ocean. I'll go for a while. I need to calm down. SCP-055 Effects Dr. Hesson walked into the containment chamber of SCP-055 holding SCP-729-J. About five minutes later, the containment chamber opened, and a Calico cat ran into Dr. Hesson's office.  Wait, we even had a 055, and it's a cat named Pudding? Dr. Axum SCP-650 Effects After being exposed to SCP-729-J, SCP-650 did not appear immediately behind Dr. Hesson, as it usually does with others, nor was it inside its containment cell. A containment breach alert was sounded as per protocol. SCP-650 was found seven hours later inside of a storage closet, curled up into a ball. It did not move for approximately 12 hours. SCP-1048 Effects When exposed to SCP-729-J, all copies made by SCP-1048 became immobile, and have not regained mobility since exposure. SCP-1048 appeared alarmed by this, making a gesture like the sign of the cross, and retreated behind its copies. SCP-1048 regained the ability to make copies of itself when SCP-729-J was removed. It now frequently produces art that depict SCP-729-J as monstrous in some form, and cowards have shown a picture of SCP-729-J. Not even the teddy? Poor Mr. Bones, he just wants some friends. Try 2317. Maybe then a hell of a beast can be with its own kind. It wouldn't play with him either. My god. SCP-682 Effects Long story short, we reclassed SCP-682 as neutralized.  All humans exited the room, and researchers watched behind a camera. When SCP-076-2 got out of SCP-076-1, instead of looking for the nearest human, he looked straight at SCP-729-J. SCP-076-2 materialized an American M9 flamethrower and a corresponding fuel pack. He attempted to use it on SCP-729-J, but the flamethrower did nothing to it. When SCP-076-2 ran out of fuel and saw that SCP-079-J was unharmed, he ran back into SCP-076-1 and curled up into a ball. Crying sounds were coming from the inside of SCP-076-1. It has been two weeks, and SCP-076-2 has yet to come out of that position. SCP-073 Effects When exposed to SCP-729-J, SCP-073 took a cup of water and proceeded to bless it.  SCP-073 remained under a table for the remainder of the test, with its fingers in the form of a cross. SCP-187 Effects Upon being exposed to SCP-729-J, SCP-187 began to vomit and frothed the mouth. SCP-187 displays rapid emotional changes, switching from screaming and babbling to squealing and cooing. SCP-187 was immediately removed. Upon being interviewed, SCP-187 said, «How can such a thing be so ungodly yet so cute?» SCP-187 is currently undergoing therapy. SCP-1915 Effects SCP-729-J is exposed to SCP-1915. Upon exposure, SCP-1915 explained while raising his arms high into the air, «I quit!» SCP-1915 breaches containment and SCP-1915 is currently believed to be conversing with SCP-3812 about the futility of narratives and plot points, currently debating which of their creators has the smallest dick. SCP-4812-K Effects SCP-729-J is launched straight at SCP-4812-K. SCP-4812-K begins to scream and rise around, before charging towards SCP-225-1 killing itself. SCP-4812-S and E are reported at this time to breach containment, both self-terminating. SCP-729-J is retrieved and given back hastily by the GOC, stated it killed the Eros entity by landing on it. No, upon being asked how he is still capable of talking and reacting in a calm and stoic manner around that goddamn thing, Dr. Gears spoke calmly stating, «I have actually soiled my pants the first time I looked at it, and now I have a super toilet in the observation deck, with a throw-up bucket and shower included. I honestly am as disgusted by it as you are. SCP-173 Effects Don't ask about it. No, the warhead did not destroy either of them. No, there was no grand battle. Yes, there was a discussion. No, do not go and try searching for the coitern or the ██████████. No, not even the Wanderers Library. Yes, they did don sabraros. No, we have yet to remove them. No, we will not try this again, lest we see an AZ-class Fiesta scenario. Yes, that is all we found in the second SCP-5000 suit that showed up in SCP-173's containment chamber. Green. I don't know. I think he looks cute with it. SCP-001 Effects Tom Brady, quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was abducted and forced to throw SCP-729-J into SCP-001's radius. SCP-001 immediately looked at 729-J and bowed. A mouse-shaped opening appeared on SCP-001's head, and in a loud voice, it said, «My lord!» SCP-001 then picked up 729-J and put it in the garden on the other side of the gate that SCP-001 guarded. 729-J was only able to be retrieved when SCP-001 was allowed to have SCP-999 for a day. Don't worry, Tom Brady was given, as SCP-3000 so gracefully put it, «regretty for giddy» Doctor ██████ Head of the Amnestics Department SCP-049 Effects When exposed to SCP-729-J, SCP-049 appeared to stagger, grasping its head with its hand and falling to its knees, stating, «The pestilence, it's too strong!» SCP-049 then attempted to crawl towards SCP-729-J, vocalizing, «I must cure you!» but fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Damn, guess that dude's too strong a plague even for SCP-049? Dr. Brian Interview Log Interviewed Dr. Hesson Interviewer Dr. Yvane Forward SCP-729-J was contained, if you can call it that, in Dr. Hesson's purse. Despite multiple pleas to please just put the goddamn thing away. Began Log Dr. Hesson, tell us the means by which you obtained SCP-729-J. Dr. Hesson I mean, it was a little gift I ordered for myself online. Easter, you know. Dr. Yvane Nothing odd at all about its manufacturing? Dr. Hesson Nope. Dr. Yvane And yet we've scoured the factory where it was made for evidence of satanic rituals. Odd. Dr. Hesson But yeah, he came in the mail. It was one of those special scented ones. Dr. Yvane Dear God! I'm sorry I feasted upon your brethren. Let me live. It'll never happen again, I promise. Just have mercy. What is the nature of your immunity to SCP-729-J's effects? Dr. Yvane Properties? I mean, it's a plushie. I have it right here. Dr. Hesson begins removing SCP-729-J. Dr. Hesson Oh God, does she think we want that thing anywhere near us? Dr. Yvane No, no, no. Fuck, get that thing away from me. Dr. Yvane Closing Statement Interview with Terminator due to imminent containment breach


I'm Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org, and John, we're here with a good friend, Doc Dorico, who is a technologist at EMC, known Doc for a long time. He's been on the Cube a number of times, and we've actually, you frequent Sapphire, at least a couple of the latest years, but so welcome. It's been about five years now, thank you. I appreciate that. You know, I enjoy coming to both the US show as well as the European show. I haven't made it over to Asia. I've not done the European show. How does it compare? Yeah, you know, it's interesting. They've got a very diverse audience in Europe as well, and you know, while you could say there are a lot of similarities as they go through the technology industry, they have entirely different infrastructure needs, so it's really good for us to get exposed. So, you know, it's interesting. We've been, last couple of years we've been talking, you know, sort of marketing always leads the actual implementations. We've been talking about cloud and big data, and even in memory for quite some time, you're starting to see, certainly cloud and analytics slash big data become real, but what are you seeing? What's sort of evolved and changed in the last couple of years? Yeah, you know, cloud is definitely becoming real, and more and more customers, Dave, are putting things out into the cloud either as a platform where they're running, starting to build up applications in the cloud, or they're using cloud services, you know, Salesforce.com was unheard of a couple of years ago. Now it's hard to find a customer that isn't using them for CRM or a company that isn't using them for CRM in some shape or form. So, you know, as this all starts to come together, what's starting to become more important is that people have to mine not only what's in their data center, but they have to go out to these other sources for information and pull it all together into one place that's aggregated. Yeah, so we touched upon this last year. I've asked a number of guests from EMC about the comet that was made earlier by Jim Hangeman-Schnabe this morning. He said, imagine a world where all data is in memory, and imagine you don't need a traditional disk-based database. Yes, he did. And I said, okay, he's taking a little tiny slap at a Oracle, which is fine. But then I'm saying, I'm going to have some folks on EMC later. I really want to ask them about that. What are your thoughts on that? Yeah, and I particularly loved his comment also where he said, you know, the people who continue to believe in disk have to realize that the Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stone, right? Yeah, exactly. So it's a good humorous moment.  You know, I'm not sure that's literally true. But it is kind of mind-boggling. It is kind of mind-boggling. You'll see that. But he's talking, you know, 40 years out. And, you know, I mean, of course, you have to imagine that as information has accelerated over the last decade, it'll continue to accelerate. So 40 years from now, you're going to see much larger amounts of information that have to be mined. And, frankly, you know, as we look at disk technology today, disk technology continues to evolve as well. You know, the EMC products are getting more and more based on silicon-based technologies, not just, you know, spinning rust, right? I mean, there's a lot of new technologies coming out. So those will continue to evolve. But I think, you know, the important aspect is that there is, you know, faster and faster technology. And the software to manage that information is really important. And the other piece that I think, you know, I actually heard someone say on one of the earlier CUBE episodes, they were talking about the evolution of servers and saying that it's not really the evolution of CPU and memory that's important. It's the I.O. that goes with that to be able to process that information. And, you know, that's where we see the importance. And we still think we have a long way to go with relevance. And, you know, with all the respect to this morning, I think it was a great message and a great vision for the future. But, you know, we have to think about the next three to five years, not the next 40. Because I've been talking to some customers here, I'll see SAP customers. And, you know, the hallway conversations are along the lines of I have EMC, I have SAP, this is a classic legacy as people call it in the industry. But in reality, you guys aren't legacy vendor, you're making huge investments to purchase the company, Stream.io. So but the conversation always goes back down to Flash, right? So Flash is obviously disruptive enabler around speed and I.O. you mentioned. So this architectural kind of configurations emerging David Floyd, Wikibon, many of them coming, the cutting edge ones, but customers are starting to play with sand configurations in front of EMC. You see Fusion I.O. next to the processor. I need my EMC, but I need to have better caching, but the caches can't fill the data in memory. So in memory is kind of this elusive term, right? But yet it powers cloud and mobile, right? So what's your take on that around these proof of concepts and or these architectural configurations that are emerging? Yeah, I think you've hit it on the head, John. I think, you know, look at what we're doing with our VF cash technology, right? We're not just taking Fusion I.O. cards, we're not just taking Stream I.O. boxes and sticking them in front of storage, we're actually taking the VF cash technology and integrating it with the storage back in. So when you put something out there, it actually ties into the storage back end. So you've got the persistence in a shareable environment. You can replicate it, you can clone it, you can do all the things that you do with the storage infrastructure. And then flash technology is evolving as well. There's the traditional flash today. We use a single level cell type technology. There's multi-layer cells like in your cell phone, which are much cheaper, but they're not as resilient. And there are next generation technologies that are coming out in the next three to five years as well. You know, that, you know, phase change memory that'll change literally the state of the electrons, right? So that you can store things and access them faster. But the important thing is it's got to be integrated in a way that you can manipulate it and control it from a sexual point so that it can be managed and seamlessly part of your overall environment. Yeah, and it's interesting too, another observation is it's just more some color from my perspective, knowing EMC and having you on the cube and other EMC exactly like Pat Gelsinger and others. SAP and EMC have the same vision. I mean, I'm very impressed with EMC's comprehensive vision. Obviously, they're an application company. They have a more swath of range of customer base than the EMC relative to what they offer. But it's a lot of cloud meets big data. So EMC is cloud meets big data, which is, you know, clever slogan, very relevant to what you guys are doing right now. But SAP doesn't even actually use the word big data much. But everything that they talk about is big data. It's cloud meets big data. So, you know, you hear their investment areas, mobile, cloud, that's essentially in memory, cloud and mobile. So that is a big data company. Yeah, so you guys align well with that. So how do you talk to customers and what are you hearing from your customer base around the big data configurations? I just mentioned stands in front of this. But in particular, can you give us a use case like which Nabe offered us?  Is there a use case for EMC that's that simple to understand relative to flash and these IO memory? Yeah, put me on the spot with a with a simple use case. But you know, that I think the EMC world big data means a lot more than than just the simple cases that you that you talked about. You know, the big data can be unstructured data to some, it can be structured data to others, it can be an aggregate of all of that. So I think, you know, the use case for for us is how do we take all of this information, bring it all together for regardless of how many different sources, regardless of how many different types, how do you bring it together and how do you mine it, mine it for value that can be presented to your business. So where are we going with it? You know, clearly, you know, we see the value of being able to take different disparate data data types, bring it together and then perform analytics on top of it, regardless of where it lives as well, which is which is critical to our infrastructure. So, Doc, my last question is, you know, for the you know, well for the last 15, 20 years, we've seen function move out of the server, you know, up to the array and you're starting to see function move back. The storage hierarchy is sort of elongating toward the other side of the channel. You mentioned connections into the storage array and that's, you know, clearly your area of expertise. What about the other direction? What are your thoughts there? Obviously, you've made, you know, an acquisition. My guess is it's not your last. But talk about, you know, what the strategy is to take advantage of that. You're not a server company, even though you own VMware. That's kind of a, not kind of, it is a server play. Is that the strategy to get closer to the channel and and close it to the Intel processor and and and talk about your strategy to manage that entire hierarchy? Yeah, you know, I think it's, it's an all of the above. So it's, you know, that an answer E, right? All of the above. You know, we really, you really have to look at, there are many, many situations where we're going to have to take some of the processing capabilities and move it down to the data, because you don't want to move all of that data every time you need to process it. But you also have to take some of the data that's going to be used a lot and move it up to the server. So there's, it's that integration and the play of the two parts as they come together. So, you know, I guess, you know, in the interest of time, I'll just say, stay tuned. We'll be watching you get your best people working on this. All right, Dr. Rico, thanks very much for coming on the Cube. Always a pleasure to see you. Always fun. Thanks for watching everybody. We got a big day, big afternoon, John. We got a great guest coming on. So keep it right here and we'll be right back after this word from our friends and sponsors.


Whether or not you have fatty diabetes you should consume due to the fact that diabetes almost doubles your risk of heart disease and stroke. Having fatty acid in your diet can. If you are going to incorporate dairy products in your diet be sure that they are.  Certain foods raise blood sugar levels while others lower them. But many people must go through years of trial and error before discovering what works best for them and their bodies. Fortunately I am going to tell you today which foods will naturally superior to others thanks to years of scientific clinical research and my personal experience as a diabetes specialist. So let's get started. I am Dr. Ahmed Ergen. I am an endocrinologist dealing with diabetes on a daily basis. So today I am giving you the best foods to eat if you want to get your diabetes under control. So top 10 foods that can help control your diabetes and lower your blood sugar of course. So if you want to get the most out of your diet consider diabetic meal planning. Plan ahead of time and prepare your meals in advance to reduce the chances of snacking number one and unhealthy eating number two. Because you will also save a lot of time and energy trying to find the good food if you plan ahead. I'll go over the most of the healthy meals but you should also visit a qualified diabetes educator at least once to assess your unique nutrition needs. Our team actually have a CDE. She is quite knowledgeable. She is very personable. She is very nice. She can schedule a session with you at least once maybe a few times to make sure your diabetes and diet needs are met successfully. And that can be found on our website at sugarmedies.com at under the get a diabetes coach tab. Number one I'll start with veggies. So veggies that aren't really too starchy. So if you have diabetes I'll say non-starchy vegetables are among the healthiest things that you can eat. They will not only fill you up but they will also provide you with the important vitamins and minerals and so forth. They will also help manage your blood sugars and prevent the complications and inflammation.  So you may actually eat as much as you want without having to worry about crazy blood sugar spikes. Choose fresh canned or frozen vegetables that have not been salted or marinated in any sauce or any fluid to get the most nutritional value out of your non-starchy vegetables. So non-starchy vegetables include a few of them that I will include here for you is artichokes for example the asparagus, the avocados. Avocados is practically a fruit but it has less than a one gram of sugar, low carbohydrate, high fiber content and a lot of good fats.  Avocados also may have properties that actually make them especially useful in the prevention of diabetes. I'll tell you about a study. So a recent mouse study discovered that Avocatin B or Evo B is a fatty acid molecule found only in avocados, prevented oxidation in skeletal muscle. Oxidation is like rusting in your body and the pancreas so resulting in quite a decrease in insulin resistance. So what else do we have? Broccoli, famous cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, beans are practically a legume but in their green form we can call it a vegetable, hearts of palm, mushroom, olives, onions, squashes, tomatoes, zucchini and there's a lot more veggies out there. There's a lot of veggies with leaves right? The green leaves, leafy vegetables are there that you can get your hands on that I cannot just list all of them here but they are all non-starchy vegetables and they are just so many out there you just need to look for them. When compared to other vegetables leafy greens especially there are high nutrients and low in digestible carbohydrates what that means is that no matter how much you consume your blood sugar will remain okay. So they are strong in vitamin C so spinach and kale are two of the greatest leafy greens to include in your daily diabetic diet because of that vitamin C for example. You don't want to consume more than 500 milligram vitamin C as a supplementation but if it's in your diet it actually helps control diabetes and that the one that comes in the diet not excessively. Leafy greens also contain various nutrients that are very helpful in addition to like antioxidants we talked about and those antioxidants will protect your eyes and kidneys from complications because as you know blindness and kidney failure is not uncommon. I hope you are finding this video useful so far so if you like it please push the like button subscribe and write a comment let us know what you think. Number two is the fish with a high fat content whether or not you have type 2 diabetes you should consume healthy fats from fish in your diet. It is one of the healthiest meals you can eat it comes with a long list of benefits. The heart healthy omega fatty acids such as DHA and EPA they're present in fatty fish like salmon and anchovies they provide a significant amount heart healthy omega fatty acids which can help protect your heart from diabetes related complications such as heart attacks and strokes. DHA and EPA protect your blood vessels they reduce your inflammation they improve the function of your arteries after eating those things so just watching them is not going to really help you. Due to the fact that diabetes almost doubles your risk of heart disease and stroke having fatty acid in your diet can really help you avoid these things man so I would go for it even if you're another big fish fan to get used to it. Furthermore fatty acids are a great source of protein that can help you keep stay full longer and maintain a healthy diet so make sure you check out our best and worst fish videos to make sure that you're not eating that high mercury fish too much in your diet. Number three is nuts and eggs well I will say nuts and eggs are the two very high fat foods and that can really help with diabetes management and then the blood sugar control of course nuts are very high in fiber and they're low in digestible carbohydrates so they will not spike your blood sugar as much however you have to be careful about different species of these nuts because they are all different so some of them contain a lot of carbohydrates especially high carb with low fiber content but almonds the brazil nuts the the cashews hazelnuts macadamia nuts pecans pistachios and walnuts are basically the best nuts for diabetics to eat. If you are trying to reduce the weight keep in mind though that the nuts should be eaten in moderation because of their high fat content which reflects as high calorie content and if you ingest them enough then you will not be able to lose weight so the eggs are also that's number four concert health heart healthy unless you exceed the limit so there's a lot of good fats in the even in the yolk they improve your insulin sensitivity and reduce the inflammation there's choline in there there's a lot of antioxidants to help reduce the inflammation in your body and the free radicals and so forth and if you decide to incorporate the eggs make sure that you at least eat one yolk but remember you know if you have high cholesterol your limit is 300 milligram of cholesterol in your diet and you're actually getting 180 milligram of that cholesterol from just one egg yolk so if you're gonna eat more eggs i would say eat one egg yolk and add more egg whites to improve the to increase the protein content unless you have advanced kidney disease then you don't want to excessively eat protein either so most healthy people who do not have excessive cholesterol problem or on statins and their cholesterol is really very good then you may not have to worry about eggs too much so eating up to seven a week should be okay number five the seeds the seeds contain certain kinds of again substances that are very helpful for diabetes so two best seeds for diabetes are going to be chia seeds and flex seeds so chia seeds are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates and then they also have been shown to help reduce the blood sugar levels in a for example 28 grams or one ounce serving of a chia seed that are fiber which doesn't really increase your blood sugar so chia seeds putting for example topped with some berries is a great breakfast option that i love 100 percent it's much better than cereal that you can have out there the flex seeds are also beneficial since they can actually help with the blood sugar control they lower your risk of heart disease they lower your cholesterol and chance of stroke i would also say that choose ground seeds or make an effort to grind your own flex seeds at home to improve the absorption because there's really not much health benefit for eating the whole flex seeds number six the oils so there's an extensive spectrum of health promoting qualities of extra virgin olive oil we all talk about all the other oils probably be avoided there are a lot of antioxidants and anti inflammation in the olive oil we have a specific olive oil video as well that you can look into for more details it's one of the most helpful oils actually for lowering the risk of heart disease it contains a lot of vitamin e which is an antioxidant and a genuine extra virgin olive oil is going to have you go a long way you can drizzle it on salads or use it in marinades or cook with meats and vegetables unless it's super high heat so don't fry the stuff in the olive oil but you can saute and still enjoy your olive oil pretty much in every meal there are things in olive oil as well that will actually make you screed insulin as well so that's amazing the other natural oils that you can use without too much worry is coconut and avocado oil so if you're not a big fan of eating avocado you can actually use avocado oil in your meals coconut cream unsweetened and coconut milk is also okay as well I hope you're finding this video useful so far so if you like it please push the like button subscribe and write a comment let us know what you think number seven is apple cider vinegar is another great thing to consume apple cider vinegar is as you know prepared from the apple juice again we have a separate video for that if you're interested in more details but for a good reason apple cider vinegar is very popular among the health conscious people so it is fermented acetic acid so when you take that with your carbohydrate containing meals it will help to increase the insulin sensitivity so you will be able to keep your blood sugar on control better it will lower your fasting blood sugars and then it will lower your blood sugar response to those foods so up to 20% less spike so let's say you're gonna go up to 200 when you eat something a meal but if you have apple cider vinegar in that diet in your salad etc you may actually end up spiking up to 180 which is 20 points not too bad may not work like that for everybody but when it works I think it's worth to consider to consume in your daily foods to avoid hurting your teeth and esophagus because of the vinegar's high acidity it is also highly recommended that you have apple cider vinegar you mix it with a spoonful of water or you can just put on your salad with the mixture of your dressing you can also just make a juice with it etc with other non-calor of juices number eight spices yep the good part let's spice it up turmeric and cinnamon are the two most commonly used spices for that purpose so they're powerful tools especially when it comes to managing diabetes so in our sugar MD supplement for example we have a lot of spices that brings your blood sugar down so check it out in order to obtain the best results though for example for cinnamon and turmeric you have to have them in your diet pretty much on a daily basis so that's why for people who cannot have these things in your in the daily basis taking a supplement may be okay option and the flavor of almost any food or beverage will be increased with a little kickoff addition of a cinnamon so just keep that in mind every time you're having your coffee or something it has been tried in several trials and it has been shown to lower the blood sugar levels improve insulin sensitivity and lower the hemoglobin advanced levels but remember not every cinnamon is very helpful saline cinnamon is what has been shown to be really beneficial for diabetes and interestingly also we came up with a product called super berberine and saline cinnamon a super berberine is something called the hydro berberine which is much better absorbed and much better a side effect profile compared to berberine so we implemented that in our supplement it is available and if it is not available at the time of you watching this it's going to be available the latest in early 2022 so to activate a medicinal element of turmeric in your mixture you may want to use some black pepper as well that will also make it even better number nine is the probiotic rich dairy products so if you are going to incorporate dairy products in your diet be sure that they are high in helpful probiotic to get the most health benefits greek yogurt for example is a wonderful option it is a low in sugar and high in probiotics in clinical trials greek yogurt has been demonstrated to improve the blood sugar control even it lowered the risk of heart disease which is our ultimate goal plain greek yogurt is preferable to the flavored versions because those flavored options contain a lot more sugar and they're much more processed which may cause your blood sugar to spike and you may not get the benefit number 10 and the last one are beans beans are low-cost they are nutrient dense and they're incredibly nutritious you'll be fine if you don't eat the beans with your rice so beans are super high in b vitamins minerals like calcium potassium magnesium and a lot of fiber again if you're not consuming beans with rice it should not spike your blood sugar because they're low in glycemic index which is crucial in diabetes management to choose the low glycemic index foods so keep in mind that a cup of cooked beans equals to one starch diabetic exchange so that's around 15 grams it provides about 80 calories and 15 grams of carbohydrates so you should not have more than three exchange or more than 45 grams of carbs at all and those carbs should always be low glycemic index such as beans so half a cup of bean will be your exchange which is 15 grams so if you're having full cup of beans that's almost 30 grams of carbs so if you go excessive any carb can spike your blood sugar so you have to be careful there as well so guys i hope that was helpful so please remember to subscribe share and we'll see you in the next video hey guys i hope you're enjoying this channel so far and i hope you subscribed already if you didn't do it and if you did watch this video right there i think that will help you too


Why Chris Bosch is one of the most underappreciated players of all time. Unfortunately Chris Bosch has suffered blood clots the last two seasons, so I wanted to go over Chris Bosch's time in the NBA because we really don't know how he will come back into the league after being out for two seasons. Personally, I hate to see any athlete not be able to play the game that they love. Not to mention blood clots are a very very serious issue, so not only do I want to see Chris Bosch healthy as a player, I want to see him healthy as a person. Now in this video, I'm going to mainly talk about Chris Bosch outside of the Miami days. I'll talk a little bit about him when he played for Miami with LeBron, James and Duane Way, but I mainly want to talk about Bosch in his Toronto days because a lot of people don't realize how good Bosch was back with the Raptors. Those were the days that I think people forget. I don't think young kids that watch Chris Bosch now know how good he really was, so here's why Chris Bosch is one of the most underappreciated players of all time. In this video, we'll discuss the role that Chris Bosch has had to play, we'll discuss the sacrifices he's had to make, we'll discuss the LeBron James style of basketball and how it affects his big men, primarily Chris Bosch and Kevin Love and we'll compare Chris Bosch against some of the greatest big men of all time. You'll be surprised with the numbers I'll show you. What we won't talk about, well I'm not going to talk about the memes and the hate comments towards Chris Bosch because, well, we talk about stats and facts on this channel, not memes made by someone who strongly opposes another person. Anyway, to start off, let me give you some backstory. It's important to remember that Chris Bosch is one of the first in a generation of new big men. The mould of the big man has changed throughout the years in the NBA, we all know that. Now it's debatable whether the big man has vanished or whether the big man has evolved, but what I do know is that Chris Bosch is one of the new big men. He doesn't play like Shaq, he doesn't play like David Robinson, he doesn't play like Tim Duncan or Patrick Ewing, he plays facing up to the basket, like Dirk Nowisky and Kevin Garnett.  He isn't meant to play like that, he's made to play as a powerful who, for majority of his career, has played at center, and I'll get into that later on. Dating back to his Toronto days, Bosch has been one of the best mid-range shooters in the league, regardless of his size. When he moved to Miami, he redefined himself as a player, he slowly expanded his game outwards and as that transition occurred, his numbers and reputation took a hit. Like I said before at the start of the video, when I said that I dislike when people say that Chris Bosch is soft and he can't rebound, let me share something with you. I'm going to use the Kevin Love and Chris Bosch comparison, simply because they both started on different teams, being the stars of their respective teams, obviously Kevin Love in Minnesota and Chris Bosch in Toronto, then they both joined LeBron James in his Superteam and the numbers of those two players dramatically drop. Let me explain why for those that don't understand. Let's look at the best rebounding years with some of the greatest big men of all time. Shaq's highest rebounding number is 14 in 38 minutes in his first season, Ewing is 12 rebounds in 37 minutes, David Robertson 13 rebounds in 37 minutes, Kevin Garnet 14 rebounds in 39 minutes and now Chris Bosch 11 rebounds in 36 minutes and Kevin Love 15 rebounds in 36 minutes. So as you can see, the numbers that Kevin Love and Chris Bosch are putting up are comparable to some of the best NBA big men of all time. So the notion that they are soft and weak and don't go for rebounds must be for a specific reason. There's no way that Kevin Love could go from averaging 15 rebounds to under 10 without anything happening to him. That's just no way, so let me explain. To go from averaging 11 rebounds or 15 rebounds per game to dropping down to under 10 rebounds in a season because they are trash or no good, for those that need more clarification, here's my breakdown. Both Kevin Love and Chris Bosch were superstars, I'm pretty sure we can all agree with that. The stats don't lie and we should all know that before they joined their respective Big Threes. They were no doubt NBA superstars. The thing is, once they joined LeBron James Big 3, they became that of a role player. A role player meaning they play their role for the team and that's all they do, which can be hard for fans to understand since they both came from being the first option on the floor to suddenly the third option on the floor. They weren't supposed to produce like superstars in these Big Threes, they're meant to do anything to help the team win. This is what happens in any super team or Big 3. Players will drop in stats. Just wait, it'll happen to the Golden State Warriors this season as well. Mark my words. It's the roles that both Kevin Love and Chris Bosch had to adapt to, which is why the stats of both of these superstars dropped after joining the Big 3. Love went from averaging 26 points and 12.5 rebounds to 16 points and 9.7 rebounds after joining LeBron James. Chris Bosch went from averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds to 18.7 points and 8 rebounds. Notice the huge decrease in numbers after both players joined the Big 3s? It's not that they are bad players, it's the fact that they had to adapt to a completely new role. In order to play with LeBron James, no matter how good the guy is, we all know that LeBron James is the greatest player of our generation. Ok, it's simple, it's fact, LeBron James is no doubt the greatest player of our generation. But in order to play with LeBron James, you have to adjust to how he will win you the game. That's what happens when you're the best player on the planet. What LeBron needs is catch and shoot players. He needs big men that can shoot the ball. It's known as a fact that LeBron James' best asset in basketball is his will to attack and finish at the ring. Not his jump shot, which can be unreliable at times. To utilize LeBron James to his fullest, you can't have big men that can't shoot the ball. Because the opposition big men will just help on the drive of LeBron James and either help change LeBron's shot, or LeBron will kick it out to the big man, but the guy won't hit the shot. So really, you need a big man that can shoot. So that's why LeBron needs catch and shoot players in his offense, which is what Bosch and Love both became. This is also the major reason why the rebounding numbers for both players drop so dramatically. When talking about Chris Bosch, it's not because he's soft, or he's not tough anymore, or he's not good at rebounding, you need to understand that it is his or was his role to space the floor and get open for LeBron James or a Dwayne Wade kick out. Bosch's best asset is simply his presence. As a 6-11 forward who can shoot from virtually anywhere, including the occasional 3-ball, he stretches the floor and makes James and Wade's job a lot easier. Bosch literally spent hours upon hours in the gym developing his 3-point shot to help the Miami Heat win championships, and I'm sure Kevin Love is doing the exact same thing right now for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Without Bosch sacrificing his talent and play style, the Heat would not have been as successful as they were. Bosch really sacrificed a stat line for what he could have had had he stayed in Toronto for the better of the team. Had he stayed in Toronto, no doubt, he would have had been a dominant force in the NBA for many seasons after 2010, but in the counter argument to that, it was his choice to move to Miami and win championships. I'm just saying that without Chris Bosch sacrificing his own numbers, his own stats, his own play style, and playing more of a shooter, then there is no doubt Miami would have made 4 straight finals, and this is coming from a Miami Heat fan. And I'm not your regular Miami Heat fan, I'm a really strong Miami Heat fan and for those that have been subscribed for a while, you know how much I love Miami, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. And lastly, one more thing about Chris Bosch and his role is that not only did he have to change the way he played for the better of the team, but he also had to play out of his true position. Chris Bosch was not a centre. He had to play centre when the Big 3 came to Miami. The Miami Heat tried to surround the Big 3 with Big Man inside, but no one would trade with them. They tried Greg Odin, they tried Chris Anderson, but it was obvious, they weren't starting centres in the league. Bosch instead would have to play centre, and would play out of his true position. It probably benefited Miami more that Bosch played at the centre position, but it made his case for being soft, more apparent to the media, resulting in an untrue public opinion on Bosch. Lastly, there's a reason why you never see Chris Bosch or Kevin Love banging down low anymore, because that's not what their role is anymore. So, we've discussed the role that Chris Bosch had to play, we've discussed the sacrifices he's had to make, we've discussed the LeBron James style of basketball and how it affected Chris Bosch and his play style, now it's time to talk stats, comparing Bosch with some of the other NBA greats. Ok, so I'm going to put two sets of players and flash two sets of numbers on the screen. I want you to tell me down below in the comment section, literally right now I want you guys to go down below to the comment section and type who would you rather have. Alright, are you ready? Player A, 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 0.8 blocks in 36 minutes and he was aged 28. Player B, 24 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1 block, 36 minutes and aged 25. Alright, I'll wait. Go down below to the comment section and type who would you rather have. Player A or Player B. Ready? Who are you taking? I will say this, one player was an MVP and the other player didn't make an all NBA team that specific season. Are you ready? Ok, Player A is Dirk Nowitzki. This was Dirk Nowitzki during his MVP season. Player 2 is Chris Bosch. He didn't make an all NBA team. Not the first team, not the second team, not the third team. Pretty crazy in my opinion. Now I won't lie and I speak truth on this channel. When Dirk put up these numbers he won the MVP which was the 2006-07 season because he led his team to a 67 win season. When Bosch put up his numbers of 24-11 the Raptors didn't even make the playoffs. Now there are two reasons why. Number one was Chris Bosch was injured towards the end of the season. Had he played they would have definitely made the playoffs because I'm pretty sure from memory they were only one game out of the playoffs in that specific season. So had Chris Bosch played they definitely would have made the playoffs. Reason number two, Bosch didn't have the teammates around him like Dirk did. Dirk had Josh Howard and a good version of Jason Terry. Whilst Chris Bosch's best teammate was Andre Bagnani like really, really? Now I don't think the Bosch would have won the MVP, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm not saying anything remotely close to that or anything like that. What I'm saying is that a stat line of 24-9 will win an MVP one year and a stat line of 24-11 won't make an all NBA team. That's just crazy to me. Let me know how you think about that scenario in the comment section down below. Anyway, that's why I think Chris Bosch is one of the most underappreciated players of all time. And so, thanks for watching guys. Hopefully I was able to change some of your guys opinions on Chris Bosch.

Our goal as a team is to win the conference and then go to the nationals and then make the cut to be one of the top 15 in the country. I would like to see by two, actually my top three, I'd like to see them become academic all-Americans. Again, that's a good goal for me to see them do that. I know they can, score-wise and academic, they can, but they just got to stay on task. And we're a very young team for the bin. We don't have any seniors. We have one junior, Austin, and then the rest, freshman and sophomores, very, very young team. Four of the players who went to the nationals are back, so we should be pretty strong. Key returners are going to be Austin, who will be a junior, Luke and Zach are sophomores, so I'm relying on those three pretty heavily, pretty heavily. And we have others also, Chris Miller's returning, who went to the nationals. So we'll see how they played in the summer. If they worked hard in the summer, then we should see some big success.


In other sustainable development matters on World Earth Day 2021, Thursday 22nd April, Latin America and the Caribbean welcomed the treaty into force of the new regional agreement on access to information, public participation, and access to justice in environmental matters, otherwise known as the Escalzo Agreement. St. Lucia was one of the first countries to sign in 2018 and later ratified the treaty in 2020. Government now reaffirms the importance of this first regional environmental treaty and its commitment to protecting the planet and the people who defend it. The legal officer in the Department of Sustainable Development explains the next step in St. Lucia meeting the obligations of the agreement. More importantly, we need to look at our legal frameworks, our legal and procedural frameworks, so we know that the World Resources Institute, they are on the ground. They had selected three countries, St. Lucia, Jamaica, and there's a third country. To look at the laws, and I know a consultancy, I'm not sure if it is finished yet, but we are hoping that we will get the recommendation soon for us to know what we need to do in terms of our legal framework. The Escalzo Agreement requires each participating state to guarantee their rights of every person to live in a healthy environment. It also seeks to deepen environmental governance by strengthening community engagement.


Maritime forces from 10 nations and NATO participated in the 41st annual Baltic operations or balltops. The exercise started with a conference where top naval leaders explained what participants can expect to gain from the program. I think we'll challenge you, and they will provide plenty of opportunity for great seamanship and training, for communication, for sharing, for learning, and for capturing all that in a lessons learned. Vice-General Pandoff also told sailors to prepare for a diverse operation. Between the surface work, the air work, some submarine work, and the mine sweeping work, there's a rich menu of opportunities to sharpen our skills. Leaders and crew members say that they are ready for the challenges that lie ahead. Sergeant Jeffrey Hernandez, Fenceville, LA.
