Hi, I'm Oliver Gauchet and I work as the Restoration Coordinator for Ecosystem Restoration Camps as well as the host of the Abundant Edge Podcast. In today's presentation, I want to give a broad overview of some of the cycles, relationships and connections that govern life in the ecosystems around this planet so that we can better understand how to interact with them in a beneficial way. Alright, so let's go through a quick introduction to Earth's ecologies. Now obviously this is a very broad topic and I'm only going to be skimming through some of the most important things that illustrate patterns and relationships in the forces that govern life on our planet. So let's take a look at macro and micro forces. Macro being the larger ones, the bigger patterns that are sort of outside of our control and these include climate, gas and water cycles, weather events, all of which are very closely interrelated. And then we'll take a look at smaller or micro cycles and relationships like micro climates, life cycles and food webs and compare and contrast some of the similarities and patterns that repeat at these different scales. So let's take a quick look at the Copping Geiger climate classifications. Now the reason why we're using this as references is because it's one of the most common references for climate classification used around the world and it's broken up into different groups. Number A is tropical climates, B dry climates, C temperate climates, D continental climates and E polar climates. And you can see on the map here these very large swasses of red and those are the dry kind of tropical deserts. And this is where you'll have the least amount of rainfall and the highest temperatures even though some of the places that are actually the driest are your polar climates like in the Arctic and the Antarctic. In between your dark blue is your wet tropical climates and things start to move out from there and are determined by all kinds of things including proximity to water, wind patterns, the topography of the land, mountains, valleys, low points, flatlands, hills and such and the vegetation that is predominant in those areas. There's a lot of things that sort of determine this. My own climate classification on the eastern side of Catalonia near Barcelona is between a CSA and a CSB, these kind of subcategories of the larger climates which would be a hot or a warm summer Mediterranean climate. And you can find exactly the classification for your climate by looking this up. There's a great resource on Wikipedia for Copping Geiger climate classifications that can help you find your own. Now though climate is not something that we can really influence on an individual basis, as a species we've been influencing the climate for about 50 to 60 years since the industrial revolution. And in this graph you can see it illustrated the way that things have changed over the last 800,000 years long before humans were even in influence on the planet. And the parts per million in our atmosphere of CO2 have mostly stayed balanced in this time period between about 300 parts per million down to about 160 parts per million. And this is a fairly short range and represents very small overall temperature differences over time and goes from sort of a warm period of interglacial at the higher ends and the ice ages down at the lower ends of parts per million. At the very end at the far right you can see since 2018 we are now up to about a 407 parts per million average and this has occurred over just about the last 50 years. The highest previous concentration was 300,000 and now that we're well outside of the range that humanity has thrived in over this time there's a lot of things that are changing as a result. This graph illustrates that since 1950 there has been a huge increase in climate related hydro meteorological disasters. Now this doesn't count geophysical disasters which are the ones in gray at the bottom it's the blue that we're looking at and of course the economic damage which is represented by the red line that correlates pretty closely to this. Obviously these types of disasters do a huge amount of damage to our infrastructure and our built environments and are extremely costly. This is just one of the impacts of this climate change. Now climate change on land is actually a small fraction of what is being felt globally all over and more than 90% of the heat from this global warming is being absorbed by the oceans and up to 25% of the CO2 is also being absorbed by the seas. This results in warmer oceans that have less oxygen and are increasing in acidity which lead to things like sea level rise as the polar ice caps melt, bleaching due to acidification of coral reefs, toxic algae which can also be contributed by the increase in nitrates and nutrients in runoffs from streams and agriculture, loss of habitat with lower oxygen levels, acidification which is detrimental to the shells in a lot of marine life, and decrease in fisheries and general fish populations. And since we talk about carbon so often it's worth taking a look at the carbon cycle and exactly how it affects different aspects of life on earth. Now carbon is stored in a number of different places around the earth including the atmosphere, the terrestrial biosphere which is land base, the ocean and sediments in the earth's interior. Now CO2 is just one of the greenhouse gases but is the most prominent but it also includes methane. And CO2 is removed through process of photosynthesis as plants inhale or respire CO2 and exhale oxygen. CO2 is also dissolved in water and forms carbonic acid in water bodies including the ocean, rivers and lakes. The terrestrial biosphere or all of the organic carbon represented in life both above and inside of the top layer of the soil is cycled through the atmosphere through combustion and respiration. Photosynthetic life breathes in carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen for the most part. Now the ocean holds 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere especially in the layers of the deeper ocean and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is also dissolved in the water like I mentioned earlier. Photosynthesis in the earth's interior include things like fossil fuels. 80% of the carbon in the earth's crust is held in limestones while 20% of the earth's crust carbon is held in carogens which we often call fossil fuels and come in different forms like coal and petroleum. Naturally these can be released in geologic events like volcanoes or hotspots. Obviously more recently we've been extracting them artificially through mechanical means and burning them as fossil fuels which has contributed to the huge explosion of percentages in the atmosphere at the moment causing climate change. Now let's take a look at the oxygen cycle. Oxygen is a very abundant element in our world. Mostly it's found in things like silicates and oxidized minerals in the earth, iron and things like that. Over 20% of the atmosphere by volume is oxygen. It's also present in a lot of other atmospheric gases like ozone, carbon dioxide, water vapor and others. Photosynthetic life produces most of the free oxygen in the air while producing sugars from CO2, water and sunlight. Some oxygen is produced by solar radiation when it breaks down water vapor in the air. Keep in mind solar radiation is quite corrosive to a lot of different gases and in breaking apart H which is the hydrogen molecule and the two oxygen it creates free oxygen. The main way that oxygen is lost from the atmosphere is through respiration, from terrestrial life and through natural decay. Now the nitrogen cycle is often overlooked but is a huge portion of our atmosphere. 78% of the air that we breathe is nitrogen. Now nitrogen is fixed in the soil when it's converted by bacteria or during lightning storms. A lot of lightning storms actually create 5 to 10 billion kilograms per year of nitrogen into the soil. Now these bacteria are essential for making nitrogen available to plants. Most of the atmospheric nitrogen is actually turned into ammonia by bacteria in exchange for carbohydrates from plant root exudates. Soil bacteria oxidize ammonia which is otherwise toxic to plants into nitrite and other bacteria process the nitrite into nitrate. Denitrification is the process of conversion of nitrates back into nitrogen gas which is done by anaerobic bacteria often in swamps and wet soils. Now human interference into the nitrogen cycle via nitrogen fertilizers and applications has caused damage to many waterways and our oceans by overloading them with nutrients that cause algal blooms and a reduction of oxygen that is available to the other life forms in the water. And lastly let's talk about the water cycle. Now I'm sure all of you learned about the water cycle back in primary school and is mostly related to the transformation of different stages from water vapor into condensed liquid water that falls as rain, runs into rivers, lakes and oceans and is evaporated back again as water vapor as it cycles. The transformation of water from a solid to a liquid to a gas represents large energy exchanges often a lot of water is held and kept out of this cycle when it freezes and is stored at the poles or in glaciers. From there it can take hundreds if not thousands of years for it to cycle back into the system. Evaporation purifies water and replenishes fresh water to sources back on land so this process is essential for all of our terrestrial life. Water in the form of both ice and in its liquid form are erosive forces that help to deposit minerals across the land through the process of erosion. So now that we've taken a look at some of the macro cycles and relationships on this planet let's scale it down and take a look at some of the micro. So we've looked at some of the cycles that form our climates and govern the patterns of weather. The difference between climate is that it's a longer time frame of measurement of weather. Weather is what's happening in the moment or in a couple of days and weeks and climate is the overall pattern of what usually happens in an area. Microclimates can be different from the macroclimate even though they are still subject to the same forces. Things like sun and shade, either windy or sheltered areas, reflective or absorptive surfaces, humid or dry micro areas and vegetated or bare landscapes can affect microclimate. So let's take a look at an example. In this picture you see a mountain or a large hill and let's say it's in the northern hemisphere for the sake of angles. When you're in the northern hemisphere the sunny side of a hill or a mountain will always be the south side. The further away from the equator you go the more that this angle is pronounced. The north side is the shaded slope and in this image you can see the obvious difference of how solar radiation is affecting the sunny side and it's going to be cooler and probably a bit wetter because it's not subject to as many forces of evaporation on the shaded side. Other things like vegetation can change this. Angles and exposure to solar radiation such as eastern morning sun versus hotter western evening sun can also create microclimates within that. Here's another graph that shows the relationship between vegetation and the built and urban environments and how it can create what's often referred to as the urban heat island effect. With the shelter of vegetation and the evapotranspiration that comes from forests you get lower temperatures and this can all be in the exact same climate in fact very close to one another. Whereas in downtown or suburban areas it can start to climb because those are filled with concrete and asphalt and metal and there's very little vegetative life in comparison to the rural areas where that starts to accumulate those things absorb heat and they're not transpiring water back into the atmosphere. The process of evaporation sucks a lot of energy and reduces a lot of heat and so in the same climate you can get much hotter conditions in downtown commercial areas or even urban residences. So let's take a look at identifying microclimates. What are some of the things that we can look for in order to tell what the microclimate in an area is going to be like in comparison to the overall macroclimate that we're subject to. I mentioned how dense forests and lots of vegetation mulching over the ground preventing evaporation of water in the system can help to create a cooler and more humid microclimate. When an area is bare and the topsoil is started to erode there's little vegetation you're going to get evaporation very fast and it's going to dry out the landscape it's not going to be sheltered from the sun and those areas can be much hotter so vegetation can do a lot for microclimates. Down in the bottom right you can see from the way that these trees and shrubs have grown that there is a lot of wind probably very constant in this area. Now these could all be areas in a very similar climate if not identical that have been changed due to all these different factors mostly vegetation. Vegetation can also prevent or shelter from wind influence and if you were to plant something on the downwind side at that bottom picture you can grow a lot more than on the front side where it's going to be hit by wind constantly and is going to be difficult growing conditions for those plants. Now microclimates are nothing new and people have been leveraging these for hundreds not thousands of years to increase the growing conditions of things that they want in their environment. This is a great example a picture from I believe France or Belgium in around the turn of the century and in those times it was very common to have orchards that were walled off. Now why would you do that? Well these walls were often kept fairly close together to create microclimates within them where wind was not such a factor and they were painted white in order to maximize the solar reflection that helps the photosynthetic process of these trees and so they could grow things that would not otherwise make it in their climate by creating microclimates that supported those conditions. You can see how this fruit tree has been trained to grow flat along this white wall that maximizes the photosynthetic effect and helps this tree to grow out of its natural climate by creating a microclimate that's more conducive to its growth. We've been doing all kinds of manipulations of microclimate since then and you can see more technological ones in the case of a greenhouse that helps to concentrate solar energy on the inside, prevents it from being moved around by a wind and kept dry from the rain that creates specific growing climates for plants that can start earlier in the season, grow later in the season or completely out of the climate that they were meant to. And even for a long time we've been planting things like hedgerows that help to shield from the wind, create habitat for all kinds of biodiverse members of the ecology and help to protect the cultivars that are in the major fields. There are also a lot of microclimates that are undesirable. We already talked about the heat island effect in major urban areas but also in agricultural areas when we get rid of all of the vegetation in the area and the soil starts to dry out. The connections of micro-risal fungi that feed the soil food web on the inside are killed and it actually makes us a lot harder to grow in that area over time. Most of this is propped up by synthetic methods of petroleum-based fertilizers, chemicals and herbicides. But now how we talked about the larger cycles of elements within our climate. There's a similarity these cycles in life cycles at the micro level. I'm sure all of you learned in grade school about the life cycle of a butterfly from an egg hatching into a caterpillar which forms a cocoon and undergoes metamorphosis in order to turn into a butterfly which repeats the pattern. And the important thing here is that these are not closed-loop cycles and that there are emergent properties from them. Obviously a life cycle can be cut short at any stage where either the eggs are eaten or the caterpillar is eaten or the butterfly is eaten before it's able to reproduce whereas it's able to reproduce many many times over and create multiple multiple life cycles that emerge from a single being. And so these can all kind of verge off and grow exponentially or die off depending on the outside influences. As we grow in complexity we can start to look at entire webs which have life cycles included within consumption and degradation cycles of a whole bunch of different life forms interacting at once. Now the base of all of these food systems and food webs are photosynthetic life. Your plants, your algae in the case of the oceans, and the life inside of the soil that depends on them as well things like fungi, decomposers, and detrovores. As they begin to get eaten you grow up into the higher ends of the coniferous food web and this is an example from probably a temperate forest in North America if I'm going by the grizzly bears and the deer. And the only part that's missing from this graphic is that the bear at the end and actually all of these end up going back into the decomposers and the detrovores and returning to the soil life which feeds the photosynthetic life and repeats the cycle all over again. Ocean ecosystems are very similar starting with one celled life that is you know micro plankton and micro plants that hang out at the surface of the water and absorb sunlight to grow which are eaten by other invertebrates, shimplite creatures in this in this image, consumed by small fish, moving up the chain to mackerel, tuna, and a large shark which could eat the tuna in this image. But it also cycles back into the decomposition more at the floor level of the ocean and returns the nutrient cycles back to the beginning. The soil food web is a great example of this and is mimicking all of these different web cycles and life cycles but has only been kind of better understood and researched in the last handful of years. A lot of this is very new understanding. So plant shoots and roots put off root exudates. They communicate with the life inside of the soil by offering up simple carbohydrates and sugars produced by the plant which different bacteria and protozoa and fungi will consume and trade off the nutrients the plants need to grow healthily. Now fungi and those protozoa and bacteria are eaten by nematodes and anthropods and birds and animals all the way up the chain and of course when they die and decompose they are eaten once again and their minerals and vitamins and nutrients made available to those plant roots and the cycle repeats itself. Now all of these cycles are important to the health of the entire system. They're all dependent on one another and when we're talking about restoration of ecosystems we want to look at how we can influence these cycles to repair any areas in which they are broken or when which they've been displaced. Now there are passive methods and there are active methods to doing this. Passive methods usually refer to removing some kind of disturbance from the cycle. In our case it's often pollution or degradation of a landscape whether it's destroying soils or removing a member from a food chain. We have to start by stopping the detrimental activity. Active reparation or restoration of an ecosystem involves putting something in or taking an active measure to repair something. So introducing another life form or actively repairing the health of the soil through adding compost or soil organic matter or essential microbes whatever it might be. Now again this was a very brief overview and there's so many other ways of going much further into the details and the complexities of the relationships and the elements that make up healthy ecosystems. They're much more complex than I will ever understand and we're still learning new things about them all the time like I mentioned in the study of soil food webs and soil health. The important things to understand are that everything is connected. Everything is connected at the micro and the macro level. They are dependent on one another in these processes and cycles and they also contribute to them as well. Through the understanding of cycles and processes we can learn to impact them in beneficial ways. Without this understanding which has kind of governed our interaction with nature for a long time we've been making blunders and destroying processes without realizing exactly how they all fit together. Now the abundance of life correlates to how energy is used and the cycles on the site are sort of processing and recycling energy constantly. If energy is coming into an area and is lost immediately that's a very inefficient and degraded cycle. If it is passing through plants and entering into food webs and being recycled into decomposed material while water is being held on site and facilitating other life forms the more concentrated energy can be reused and recycled on a place. That's what we call ecological abundance. Now in the next presentation I'm going to talk about a lot of different ways that have been proven effective in restoring ecosystems and just some ideas to hopefully inspire you as to the type of active work and passive work that has been shown effective to bring some of these ecosystems back to life and back into abundance. And so for more information you can go to EcosystemRestorationCamps.org and for weekly interviews on regenerative skills and solutions you can listen to the Abundant Edge podcast with over 160 interviews and new episodes every Friday. I hope you enjoyed this simple introduction to ecological functions at the micro and the macro levels and I'll see you on the next presentation.


Well you know, I'm going to take a look at the spy, what you're going to see out here is that you're at $288.93, bottom line got up to a price point of $290.82, swing point was $289.21. Guess what? Underneath it you do 56 million shares right now, maybe we'll get the 60 million into 76. So you get a failure on price, failure on volume, I expect this is the turn of a lower market coming at us once again. You take a look at the NDX100, 3Qs, same type of setup inside the 3Qs, 3Qs today got to a price point of $184.85, what that did that went right into the gap and then gave it up in spades. You're closing out at $183.15 and bottom line is you get into that gap, let's see, we had 44 million versus 39, same setup. Russell 2000, same type of setup inside the Russell, Russell is weak big time. Russell, Russell got into the gap, the gap on the Russell there was $15.28, you got to $15.35, you're closed out at $15.23.31, same type of setup. Gold, gold contract out here, they sold gold down, light volume, rejected lower price at this $13.29, you're at $13.32, you did $219,000 contracts, you're going at the $370 as well as $400, $king dollar, what do you have with king dollar, king dollar is just the opposite, king dollar is building an ABC structure on the way down, what we did with king dollar out here, you go up 205 ticks, you had $695, you did $24,000 contracts, that was going downtown five separate days last week, downtown every day, you're coming into $28,000 with $24,000, that's setting up for the next leg down in this market of the $95,000. Oil, same type of setup, looks like we had an ABC structure, an ABC market here folks, is that you have the broad market and ABC structures setting up on the way down, you have the metals market and ABC structures setting on the way up. We take a look at this oil out here, what you're going to see inside the oil market, this looks like another ABC structure on the way down, we got to crude oil, got to a price point of $54.84, we close out at $53.30, and $54 looks to me like it's wide open. Stay right there folks, coming back with some numbers after the close, recap dial up 78, NASDAQ 81, S&P's up 12.5, come right back.


Hi, so hi everyone, sorry for the late So this is the about the June project update and I possibly keep a brief introduction of us and My name is Hong Bindu from Huawei and I'm the PDA of this project I'm Madhuri Kumari from Intel. I work as a co-river in this project. I'm Shu Muto Implementing ZUN UI From NEC, thank you. So, uh, I So this so this is our agenda of today So we will have a general introduction of what is kind of an open set and Then I will talk about the basics of the ZUN project and the internals and other things and then we will show a demo so Madhuri will take this part. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, so containers on OpenStack. So Container evaluation start in OpenStack started in the year 2014 OpenStack team felt the importance of supporting containers as they support VMs on OpenStack since then many projects have evolved and there has been several projects which are trying to run Containers on OpenStack and some of them are using containers to make OpenStack operations simpler So we have Kind of like different kind of infrastructure where we can run our containers on OpenStack So this shows like how can we run our containers on OpenStack? By that I mean like on what level our containers can run So for example in this diagram We are running our containers on the same level where we run our VMs so that means like we will have a compute node where our Container runtime would be running and then we can host our container on that compute host and Either we can also run our hypervisors for running VM on that same compute node and We can run our VMs parallel to the containers on any compute node So this example is basically done by a zone today So we run our containers on a sim on a compute host so the second one is The different deployment which shows like we can run our containers inside VM So for here it means our Nova VMs would be running the container runtime tool Which is used to manage this containers So it means like on the compute host we run the hypervisor and then we launch VMs on that compute host and inside that VM will have the container runtime tool running and after that we Host our containers inside this VM So this is basically done by I can say Murano today Murano launches Nova VM host nodes and then it run application inside this VMs So this one is the third deployment scenario, which we can use for running containers on open stack in this one we run COEs on the Nova VMs So by this I mean like we'll have a compute host where we run our Know hypervisor and then launch some VMs on that compute host and inside compute host will have our container orchestration engine That can be Kubernetes messos and so on which is used to manage your container applications And we can have multiple VMs that Manages your COE cluster for example in Kubernetes We can have a master node and slave node or any combination which is suitable for as per the customer's use case And then we run container inside this VM backed by the different COEs So this one is done by Magnum Magnum install Kubernetes on Nova VMs and then it runs container application on those VMs So this basically shows like to run containers on open stack. How can What all projects are needed to give support for running containers on open stack? So this example shows like we need to have a COE or a container runtime tool Maybe Docker Kubernetes or any other tool that can run on either VM or a bare metal node and then We need some project that can provide us the API to run our container applications on those compute hosts So zone provides you the API to run your containers on this compute host So after we run our containers, there are several things which we need to For our containers for example Keystone is used for authentication of the for example zone API or any other project which we need authentication for and then we you Maybe we would we need image We need image for our container. So we can either use the Docker hub or glance today in a zone that provides you support for managing container images as well and then we can also provide Container volumes that can be done by using cinder and Fuxi as well and then We do need container Network resources for our containers. We might want some communication between two containers or a container and a VM So that is done by courier today and courier leverages the neutron API to manage all the network resources for container and finally we can have a monitoring tool for monitoring our containers as well like Kilometer but we don't know which project is suitable for container as well today on for Containers on open stack. So this generally shows like how what are all the projects that we can use to Unable containers on open stack So second one is the zone basics. So I'll start with like the introduction of zone What is one and then go a little bit in detail about what are other? Projects which we have integrated with how does the zone API looks and what are all the features and zone? So zone is an open stack project that manages container on open stack infrastructure It provides you the API to run your containers on today on bare metal nodes so we have a and that is backed by Docker runtime tool today and then we also integrate with other open stack services like keystone for authentication neutron courier for providing the network for our containers Glance for managing the images horizon. We do have horizon UI plugin for zone We use heat for orchestration of container. There is a zone resource in head heat Which you can use to run complex application that can be that can compose multiple Containers that can run your microservices inside it and we have support for open stack client also and Nova we don't today Do not support Nova, but maybe in future we would want to run our containers on VM also So we have we will be supporting Nova for that as well placement API so We today have a very simple scheduler in zone which we use to launch host our Containers on any compute host based on some filters. So we don't want to do that. So after this placement API is ready We will be using it for Scheduling our containers on different host for telemetry We are not sure what which project we will be using now and Swift we can use to store some metadata for about containers. So these are like lined up project which we May want to integrate with zone in future. So This example shows like how are you running? Containers using zone on open stack infrastructure. So the first Diagram shows like you have a neutron network where you You have an application. Let's say for example In which need to run a web server and a DB so before containers or zone We used to launch our web server on one Nova VM and the DB on the another host On the another VM host, but that is not very Like resource This is very resource extensive Way to do that. So we can run this lightweight services inside containers So today with zone we can do that and we can run this Microservices inside containers. So we just have to create for in this example We create two containers one will run our web server and another will run the DB Or we can run the DB because maybe for example, it it is it needs lots of storage So we can use DB based on different use cases. We can do this kind of combinations. So In this diagram, we have our web Web server running in a container, which is a very lightweight Survey, so we don't need to run it inside the VM and then we are running our DB in an over VM Because we support courier. So both VM and containers are on the same neutron network So the communication between this web server and DB is possible using the courier network So this is the list of zone APIs, which we support We support all the crude operations for container like you can create delete list update The containers and other than that we do support various other APIs like you can retrieve logs of a container execute a command command inside a container and even you can attach to a container and then you can run your commands inside container in an interactive mode and Then there are other APIs also we have not listed it down here So these were a few of the APIs which are really important for containers. So we list a few of them So this is this example shows like how can you use the zoom CLI to run your containers? so first we Searching the image like docker search siros and then soon run siros and the command this command will Create a container and then it will start it. So in this example, we are pinging Google four times So you can after this container is created. You can see the logs and see that Our container has pinged Google four times. So these are the list of some APIs, which we support and zone The next command is enter into a container. So there are ways to Attach to a container for example zone attach container. So you'll get a An interactive mode using which you can use to run your containers and To run for example, the second example shows you can open a shell in your container in an interactive mode And then run your content bash commands on that shell So now like we wanted to show you a real example where Zone actually provides some values like we should be able to container should be able to communicate because we Launch single Services inside a container and they should be able to communicate so that we have a complete application running So this example shows you like we have two containers. We create first container. That is the MySQL database Container and we said some environment variables like the root user password and the image which we are using is a MySQL latest After this command will have a container running Container running MySQL server after that we create the second container, which is the wordpress server So we have to we have to provide the IP of our MySQL server like where our MySQL server is running So you can see in the example that we have provided the wordpress DB host that is the MySQL IP you can get this IP in Zone list or you can say zone show the name of the container So you'll get the list of addresses for our for the container and you provide that IP in this second command after that You have a running application where wordpress server has access to the MySQL server Being it is possible because both are running on the same network and they have Communication possible between them Yeah, so this is the same example just using the heat orchestration tool So we are not doing the orchestration heat is the project which is doing the orchestration for us So you can use heat for running complex application on open stack infrastructure using the zone resource the zone resource is called OS zone container and In this example, you can see that we are creating two resources The one is the DB and the another one is the wordpress resource This is the same as the first example the first resource is our MySQL server and the second resource is our wordpress Server which has access which knows the IP where our DB resource is running You can see the environment variable wordpress DB host. We are getting the address of our DB resource so after this we'll have a stack which with two containers that has communication between them and This how you can run complex applications using heat in open stack So now Hongbin will Dive into more details about this zone internals. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah so this is the architecture of zoom and Zoom have two components. The first one is the zoom API. The second one is zoom compute the zoom API is for Exploding the rest interface to the end users and the end user send a request the zoom API Dispatch the request to the zoom compute the zoom compute is the component that is do the actual processes and It does something for example to put on the image from the image repository And to create a neutral resource and to run the containers for examples so right now soon have a default the zoom can Create a container by image which can be located in the docker hut and this is the default behaviors but as alternative you can specify the location of the image from the grants and what you need to do is to package the container image and Upload it to the grants as the tablet So that when you create a containers you add another option. Let's say the image driver There's grants them the request go through the zoom API to the zoom compute the zoom compute will call the API of the grants to put on the image to the horse and Then the second thing is we use the neutrons for the for network the containers this required a zoom compute to Before to create a container we need to talk to the neutrons to verify everything is fine and what is the information of the networks and To create all the necessary The results from the neutrons for example to create a neutron pot for each containers and Then after that, we will call the API of the dockers and we require that the queries to be set up as as Docker networking drivers so that the docker can at a runtime call the API of the queries and queries Responsible to connect the container to the neutrons And all the communications is wire rest API and secure by the keystones and this is the typical deployment of the zoom and as Other open-sets service we can Divide it the node into control node and a compute node the zoom API is supposed to be deployed in a Control node and that's around with other open-sets control paints components for some of the key zone and neutrons servers and The compute node is the node that is running the containers so that the zoom compute is should be running in each nodes that is running containers as an agent and The queries require to Running in each of the compute node because the queries the drivers for the for the dockers and then There should be a new shown agents that is in this in each of the compute node that is controlled by the Neutron control plane to manage all the virtual switch That is in this note and this is the sample sequence to create a containers So it's stopped by the clients to send requests to the zoom API to create give me a containers and the zoom API will based on the The specification of a container for some of how many CPU how many memories it will select a horse That is to run these containers and the zoom API will returns and Response and a tool to respond and at the same time the zoom compute will continue to create these containers and The setup is is there's so steps and the first step is to talk to the neutrons to Give me a network the new channel networks that the container will create from these networks and then we will talk to the API for dockers to Create a docker networks, which is basically a representation of the new channel networks and the docker will actually call the queries to Actually create a networks and a curry returned and Then the zoom compute will talk to the dock API again to create a containers and then connect the container to the networks and the docker will Call the queries to do the neutral part bindings so that given the neutral part I bind to the to the to the to connect it to the neutral networks this This internally they are doing so step that is very complicated so but in general they basically what the important step is to create the vampires and plug it Put an end part of the rampers to the neutron switch and put another end part to the Network lamp space of the containers so that the containers can Have the IP edges of the that is provided by the neutrons And I'm going to talk about the other things The first thing I want to leave is this is the features that we always provided first we have the API that is designed for the containers and We manage all the horse that's running the containers, but the end user don't need to worry about that we manage everything and hide the compressities and we are fully compatible with the Keystone multi-tenancy models and that means each container you create is isolated by the keystone talents and we fully integrate with the neutrons with support multiple image repositories and The most important part is material this mention is reintegrate with heat So that it allows you to obfuscate containers with any open-set resource such as virtual machines then and the neutrons and you can set up a very advanced Topologies and put one of them in the containers that is totally possible and then we have the horizon integrations and Sue will show them on slaters About the dashboard in the horizons and then we integrate with the open-set client and This is the roadmap that is based on the feedback from the committees, but Perhaps it's not fixed. We can still discuss this but this is the least there is according to a feedback and So first right now what what we are already support is to run the Docker containers in the bare Mentos, which is Basically a computer that is already set up by the cow administrators So in the future, we are planning to run the container is not only in the bare Mentos but in the VMs or even the COEs for example, Kubernetes and perhaps we But perhaps the Kubernetes we are so for the COE parks we are still debating is a good idea good idea or bad idea, but we can Continue the discussion and we will see in the latest and Then we are planning to support the additional container run times. So right now We decide architecture. That's not only for doctors. We are we are we are decide architecture that is Maybe in the future. It's very easy to add an additional container run times And we are working on the senior integrations and if this is this feature is implement we are expect to support the stable containers and then We are going to support a group of containers. There is Possibly very similar to the Docker compose or the community part There is to group a set of containers. There's highly coupled to each others and we manage them as a unit and then we are planning to integrate with the paceman API and So that we can leverage the schedulers to do the container scheduling and And the other feature we are planning to support is keep the container alive and monitoring the do a snapshot of the containers and do a code of the containers and The cell things is the the scope of this project. We try to limit the scope of this project and walk to walk with but for But we also want to walk with the other open-set project to collaborate with them to achieve a biggest goal, but We are not going to we are we're not going to do the obstetricians and for example and But we are going to integrate with heat to do the obstetricians and We are not going to do the COE provisioning, but if you want to do that you can consider the Cargo or the magnum projects We are not going to we are talking for the application controller application containers but if we want to run the system containers you can consider other know a virtual researchers know a SD and What we are not going to do is to build the containers from the bill a container image from the source code but you can use a solemn to do that and Yes, so this is the comparison for zoom to other technologies So for example doc we are We are possibly very similar to the know a doctor says to run a container in the compute note But the diff the major difference is we are not limited by the know a PIs so what know a doctor is Actually a no driver that's for the know us and allow the know us to manage the doctor containers But we are provide our own API states Decided for the containers and we won't be limited by the API of the compute and compared to Kubernetes and we are focused on two different use case and Kubernetes events is where events to this decide for the for the application that is very complex and very powerful and that need a very Compact technology is and you could use a community to do that But zoom is a very simple two states to manage the containers, but we don't do the observations and but right now we are Looking at the possibly possibility to integrate with the Q net is so you can use both together so this is the community of the dream projects and you can see there's the committee is diverse and There's if one of the company that is Stop supporting this project the project is still going to survive because it's support by many companies and I'm sure we'll show a demo Okay, you are seeing that math desktop on This VM has html based presentation player powered by review JS It contains static html Styleseed and javascript files and the files are local on VM The presentation player is customized to load its contents from external markdown file The markdown content should be provided by HTTP, but it have not been provided yet This VM is located on private network for demo project and has IP address 10.0.0 10 Let's provide content for the presentation from container Inside private network You are seeing the UI plugged into horizon This panel is added into project menu for users. Let me create container to provide presentation contents Presentation content provider for container name in this case using JX container image Chris George the carbine energy X Set command In bash and this container will be start after created Also, we can specify number of CPU memory size Working directory Environment variables interactive mode will enable should TTY and standard in out Also enabled to access from web console via web socket and Labels for the container and create great container request its access we accepted To you I have actions to operate almost features features of soon Start stop restart pause and pause send execute command send kill signal delete Container will be created and started soon Next set contents of presentation using console create web directory Create contents file in markdown using printf command Then run engine X engine X has started and to confirm network settings for this container Change top to overview to serve engine X 443 and 80 ports are exposed We can see this container has IP address 10 0 0 8 Please remember the IP address 10 0 0 8 for this container In the network panel we can see ports for router 10 0 0 1 DHCP 10 0 0 2 and Ubuntu VM 10 0 0 10 in private subnet After reload this panel Then port for the container will exist New port exists This IP address 10 0 0 8 is same as usual in UI This port has provided clear driver by a neutral to access this port by HTTP The rule has already added to default security group for this demo project Also ICMP protocols are added and it will allow to access engine X on the container from VM To confirm networking Let me pin between VM and container each other Container IP addresses 10 0 0 8 and VM IP addresses 10 0 0 10 Pin each other Change view to container At first ping to VM from container using console ping 5 times to VM 10 0 0 10 Got less response from VM and change to VM Next ping to container from VM using terminal 5 time To container 0 0 8 Got less response from container So now we confirmed networking between VM and container by ICMP Before accessing container from VM by HTTP Let's watch access log for engine X on container switch view to console of container Using tail command watch access log for engine X If the engine X will be accessed the new access log will be added here Let's change to VM and it's time to access container from VM to load markdown contents for this presentation player Now load contents from container 10 0 0 8 and play presentation Finally the presentation player got contents from container That's all from me At last we can confirm the HTTP access in the access log for engine X Yeah, so we are running out of time so I'm going to stop here if you have question you can talk to me offline


the January 6th findings reached the country. Here on American Issues, take two. Very important. And for this discussion, we have co-host Tim Apachello. We have Jeff Portnoy. He's a special guest today. We like him a lot. And Stephanie Stulldahl, a regular contributor here on American Issues, take two. We talked yesterday on take one. And we talked a little bit about this. We talked about what was going on in January 6th. So today, Tim and Stephanie and Jeff, I talk about whether it's reaching the country because there's some remarkable things coming out. So let me begin with you, Tim. It's clear that you're doing a great job, but is it having any effect? Well, let's also parlay that question as to who's it reaching, the message of the January 6th hearings. I did a little background work here. And in 1954, there was about 58 million Americans. And about 59% of those Americans were watching the Joseph McCarthy hearings. Then fast forward to the Watergate hearings. We had about 212 million Americans. And about 1.8% or 3 or 4 million people were watching the Watergate hearings. Not very many. Now go to the 1st, June 10th, January 6th hearing. And we had 20 million folks. But compare that to 310 million Americans. We're about 6.5% viewership. So I don't know if that gives me a trend or not. Probably not.  What's it say to us? I don't know. But it is reaching Americans. 6.5% is a significant number higher than the 1.8 in 1973. But who's watching it? Democrats, independents or the GOP? I'd have to say independents and Democrats. Well, yeah. I mean, is Fox News showing this? The people who watch Fox News give a rip about it? They feel it's all a witch hunt. Stephanie, do you think that there's a fair and balanced reporting between the left and the right here so it neutralizes itself? Well, I understand that the only, Fox is, I mean, Republicans are 10% of them are watching the January proceedings. And Fox is off and on about it. Anywhere you time you go to Fox, it's immigration, it's inflation, it's Hunter Biden, it's tech issues. I mean, they just continue to distract from it. But they're doing a little bit better. I haven't checked it this week or last week. I don't know that they're running the whole things. They didn't run the first one. And then they run the second one. So I don't know what they're continuing to do. But only about the percent of Republicans are watching it. So that's why your question is very good. Stephanie, let me refine the question, Jeff. Is it going to reach America, the electorate, by the time it needs to reach them? Because if it reaches them on a delayed basis, you know, five years down the road, that's nice for the historians. But it isn't nice for the election. The election is only a few months away. What do you think, Jeff? I think it's theater. I think it's had no impact on anyone other than folks who have already made up their mind. Maybe there's a very small percentage who have been influenced by it. I don't know the statistics. I don't know. I'm sure the polls will come out and say, you know, how many people watched all or part of the hearings and how many were from which political party? I mean, if it changed any minds, it changed very few. I think the Republicans have their own story and their own history. And nothing that's going to be done at these hearings is going to change their minds. I think the Democrats have their story and their history. The only thing in my view that may move the line is whether any indictments come out. That would be significant. But I don't think, I think it's a bunch of talking heads to be quite honest. If you watch MSNBC, you know what you're going to see about how they interpret the hearings. If you watch Fox, you know what they're going to say. If you watch CNN, you can pretty well guess what they're going to say.  But I don't think it's going to have much impact at all on the elections. You mentioned that the exception to that would be an indictment. Why? Because the people who don't want to hear about the Democratic point of view, they don't want to hear about indictments either. Why is that special? Well, I mean, theoretically, it removes it from partisan politics. It doesn't mean people will accept it that way. But it takes it out of a congressional hearing that's being led by Democrats with two renegade as they see it, Republicans. You know, I think, I think at least independence will say, hey, there might be something here with an indictment. And I think it will galvanize both sides if there is one. Now, if you're asking me whether I think there's going to be indictment, I do not. I don't think, you know, they keep saying there's a smoking gun. You know, it just depends how you interpret what Trump said. He certainly didn't say go storm the Capitol. He said things that the Democrats believe incited people to do that. And the Republicans say he was just exercising free speech.  But who knows? I know. You do tell us. The Justice Department isn't doing anything, Jeff. I'm sorry to say. All right. There you go. Now, you know, you have all this information. You've been in court your whole professional life, and many of your cases have dealt with circumstantial evidence. So when let's when Trump says, let's have a wild time in Washington, can't a reasonable viewer person conclude that he's really doing a dog whistle on that? Isn't that a circumstantial evidence kind of question? You know, we're getting back to basic free speech. And is it is yelling fire in a crowded theater? That's really what it is. Let's take a phrase everyone's heard is what Trump said yelling fire in a crowded theater. Did he tell people? No, he's too smart. Did he tell people to go storm the Capitol, break the windows and try to hang Mike Pence? No. But did he say enough that people who wanted to interpret it the way they want to interpret it? The Proud Boys and all those other boogaloo's and yeah, did they hear the marching orders? Absolutely. I, you know, I don't think there's going to be any indictments, but it doesn't make what happened that day in Trump's involvement any less dramatic and serious as it relates to democracy.   So I put I put you on the I put you on the grand jury here, Jeff, or I put you on a penny jury. And I put all that evidence in front of you. Now, was he asking them to come and have an insurrection? Yes or no? No. I think what he was saying is he was asking them to protest the counting of the electoral college.  Why don't you ask the other two who aren't lawyers and don't think like lawyers? Fortunately for them, I hope. You know, what they would think, because that's what's going to be on the jury, not, not people that have a legal background and are looking at it much more technically than the people who will sit in judgment. Okay, Tim, you're on the same jury with Jeff. You're sitting next to him as a matter of fact. Jeff didn't make the jury. Oh, yeah. I was, I was what's still allowed a preemptory challenge. No question. No question about it. Both sides. All right. Well, I had to answer it the following way. What evidence shows a state of mind that Donald Trump had when he was calling the secretary of Georgia or the secretaries of Arizona or Michigan? What was the state of mind for him to try to garnish 11,780 votes? What was the state of mind he was involved with when he was calling the DOJ and having Jeffrey Clark try to install him as his lackey so he can get a statement out of Jeffrey Clark that says, Hey, don't worry about this. There's fraud and leading the rest up to the Republican legislators. So I go to state of mind. But, but, but now I'll put my lawyer head on. What's the crime? I mean, what's the crime and making the phone call? Is it, yeah, I don't, I don't know what the, I don't know. Is it election tampering? Is it sedation? He didn't do any tampering. Well, he made a call and he said, find me, he made a call and said, find me 11,000 votes. Well, you know, I'm sorry, Jeff. You know, I don't know how plain that has to be, but maybe for some circles in this world, a little more plainer. Well, if we know while we're sitting on a jury, by the way, Stephanie, you're also on the jury. Okay. If we know the total, you know, circumstances, all the circumstances we've heard, you know, I mean, you know, I asked about what happened, you know, what was adduced in the, in the select committee, but you know, Tim is right, we should consider what's his name, Horschberger also and Georgia and some of the other things that, that the Teflon Don has done to sort of explain, make you understand the nature, the way he communicates his dog whistle way of communicating as a mafioso. So, so if I give you all those circumstances, Stephanie, and I say this, this now query is what came out in the January 6th committee. Does that show that he specifically intended to call them out for an insurrection? Yes or no? Well, I've been on a grand jury in D.C. And, you know, that attorney that's in there talking about these things is real important as to, you know, how he answers your questions and how he presents that information and how he brings in witnesses to discuss it. So, in addition to the grand jury people, you have that attorney doing whatever his, his agenda is. You can't say his. Or hers, yeah, yeah, they were both. And probably his hers and its were there. But, and then there's the witness coming in and doing their thing, right. So the grand jury sitting there trying to put this stuff together. But you know, I mean, I mean, certainly I know where I am on that. Unless I would hear some evidence or some, some description or interpretation of it that, that moved it away from obviously, you know, reaching out to, to, to make a difference. And the thing is that, why does it have to be four trucks so completely specific? It's just like there's no danger in that he, there's no threat to him based on that telephone call he made to the witness that Liz Cheney mentioned that told us about at the end of the last January committee presentation that because he called that witness, but that witness didn't answer the phone because the phone wasn't answered. That how do we know is Donald Trump got any, any, um, yeah, well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How is it witness tamper? There's no crime. He's not a defendant. But the legend, they're holding here. They have no, they don't have the same legal force and effect as a court. They don't like it that he made a call and tried allegedly to talk a witness into saying X, Y, or Z. So what? They have no legal power. They're a committee of Congress, which is putting on a show. I don't mean that in a bad way. So how's that witness tampering? If he was a defendant and he made the call, now we're talking about something different. Really? He's certainly a person of interest. He's certainly a potential defendant and he one of us is a potential defendant in something. You're too kind. No, look, you know, I don't want to be misunderstood here because, you know, people will start emailing me. I think Donald Trump is a horrible human being, has done tremendous damage to the country. Unfortunately, 30 to 40% of the people love him, like they love Gaddafi. And fortunately, we still have democracy. So we can have hearings like this. They wouldn't be having these hearings in the Soviet Union. But it is a huge leap to indict a former president of the United States and what it would mean for this country. You got to think that through if he's a criminal defendant for acts he committed as president, may have committed a lot of other things before he was president. He may have done things as a private citizen. So don't get me wrong. I'm about as anti-Trump as you can get. But I think we're talking about a huge leap. Okay, let me ask the same question to Stephanie. Is it a huge leap? Would you worry about the effect it would have on the image of the country? I don't get that, that Jeff is saying that such a huge thing to indict him. How can that be? You would do that to a president. This man is a man, a citizen, and under the rule of law, if he does something wrong, he's going to get consequences for that. So I don't understand why you're saying, think about how bad that is. This guy trampled all over the world, walked in front of Queen Elizabeth when he was reviewing the guard. Is that a crime? Is that a crime? It's bad matters. You have to draw a line between being boorish and crime. But Tim, from what we know, what about tampering? We've had all these strange calls. And the president, if you make a statement or might make a statement contrary to his interests, and one night at 10 o'clock at night, he calls you and you don't even know what he's going to say. Is that an effect all of itself? Or do you have to wait for him to say, Tim, you can't testify against him? You don't want to get off my good list? I'm going to go with Jeff. Number one, the call was never received. So no conversation took place. Number two is, if the call wasn't received or taken, how does the individual know for a fact it was Donald Trump? It could have been a staff person. It could have been anything. So there's two glaring things right there that I just can't put my arms around as to witness tampering. It's plain and simple. Now, other witnesses, I think it was Hutchison that testified about the kind of mafia, Don, mafioso type of suggestions is Donald's reading the transcripts. And he's concerned that you do the right thing. And the only thing he didn't say is it would be a shame if something happened to your hat. But there was a suggestive language that Donald Trump uses as the kind of the dawn of mafia of New Jersey. Pardon to all New Jersey folks, but I just can't get my arms around it. Yeah, Jeff, can't we factor that in as a piece of circumstance? You might have obstruction of Congress or something. I don't know all the possible things that the Congress can do. I don't think there's much, but maybe obstruction of Congress. I've heard that before. Look, what new have we learned? I totally agree. But what new have we learned from the six hearings that we didn't really know about, but maybe now it's a little bit more definite because we've heard it from a witness. What changes? We know what happened on January 6. We know what happened two hours before. We know what happened during and we know what happened after. So I mean, I was reading the other day, where's the smoking gun? I haven't found it yet. Aside from the smoking gun, certainly Trump doesn't come off very well. No, of course he comes off horribly. But you believed it before it started. We all knew this happened before the committee started. Well, no, 40% of the country thinks he's being persecuted. Well, what about all of his comments about that he wanted the machines removed so that gun people could get in? They're not there to hurt me. They're there to do their other business. These are very damning statements that he's made that have been reported and witnessed and quoted. So why is that not something new? And it's like Joe Biden was working like a demon and he's running around all day doing stuff while Trump was all day working on this. The man's never done a day's work since he's been in the White House. But he was working this thing the whole time. He was not out there talking to the crowd. So let's go back to the original questions, Stephanie. Is this reaching anybody? I mean, Jeff takes the view that it's nice theater. But in the end, it doesn't mean anything. We all knew and we stay in our respective camps. And we're not about to change our minds because of this. You may feel stronger about it, but that doesn't mean the other side, you know, the Trump side is going to feel differently about it. Is this going to affect the election in November? Actually, the voting starts sooner than that. It starts like, my God, in September or so in some states to the extent there is voting. So my question is, is this really going to affect the election? Or are we going to have both houses Republican in November? I think that you brought this up at the beginning of the January six, when it was just putting a committee, when it was being put together, and I thought it was going to be important. You said you didn't think it was going to make a hill of beans different. And I think that I know a lot more now. I know what then Cheney said she wanted to know, which is what was going on minute by minute by this man. If we hadn't had the committee meetings, we wouldn't have known about the congressional involvement. How does that change your position? Does it mean you're going to vote differently than you were before? No. Maybe it means that you're going to send money to Democrats all over the country. What does it mean that? Yeah, I think it could mean that that that might help might help. Yeah, I mean, it's it's yeah. So let me let me go to Tim. Tim, is this a lost cause? Absolutely not. We're going to lose both houses in Congress. I mean, they're going to make a report, right? We should talk about the report. And they're going to put they're going to make this report soon. They understand the timeframe, I hope, and they're going to they're going to make a report. It's going to go public. It's going to be even more dramatic than what we've heard on television. The press will be talking about it left and right, at least the Democratic press. Will it have an effect by November? By this November, I pray not, but is it important? Absolutely. And, you know, this report, and I agree with Jeff, there's no smoking gun. But what there are smoking puzzle pieces that create a quite clear picture in my mind that Donald Trump was up to his nose and trying to rig, you know, not rig, but trying to overthrow the election process on every avenue he turned, he tried to do something. And so I think this hearing is showing those individual pieces of the puzzle that clearly indicate his involvement. Now, you know, in 2020, the Gallup poll showed there was 31% Democrats of this country, 25% GOP and 41% independent. If there's no indictment, I guarantee you a certain percentage of the G, excuse me, of the Democrats and the independents are going to think that judicial system is broken. Because of this House select committee report, they're going to think there is no justice. And number two, apparently, president can do whatever he or she wishes, as Nixon said, I'm the president. So therefore, it's not illegal. It is illegal. And if there's no indictment, I think that's going to be a lack of credibility and faith in our very important judicial system of this country. Nixon was never indicted. No, but Nixon said, well, just because I do it doesn't mean it's illegal. Nixon was never charged. He was never indicted. And there was a burglary, a crime, a crime. And he was never indicted. He was run out for political reasons and rightfully so, because they engaged in all kinds of activities. But and it's the same thing. But no, no, I would argue that this was not Nixon's post called as a cop scout, maybe. No, no. But, but, you know, the argument was that he incited his people to do these things. And they were his people, by the way, they weren't citizens who had, you know, groups of people who believe in certain things. They were his people, his chief of staff, and people working for his campaign. So I'm just pointing out, look, it's all politics. The whole thing is politics. It's the Democrats last gas to try to switch what the inevitable is for November. And you want to look at polls, look at the polls of what's happening in these races across the country. The Republicans are going to take over the house. The only question is by how much, yes, there's still some question about the Senate, you know, whether it will go Republican or not. So they want to get that report out. They want to get the hearings over and hope that some percentage of independence will cast their vote for the Democratic candidate. But that's the same wish they have for abortion. So, you know, it's not like this is going to be the driving issue. I guarantee you it's not. Well, what about 2024? If it's the, if this is what happens in 2022. You're going to get Ron DeSantis, and you'll be more unhappy than we are now. You heard it here on ThinkDeck.  And then they'll go, God, maybe we should have kept Trump. Well, we're not just bringing in the Iranians. Why don't we just bring in the Mullahs to run our country? That's what it'll be like. Well, no, they can't get in. There you have it. It's called Catholics on the Supreme Court. I mean, almost everybody's Catholic. That's bad enough. Here's what's going to save us. Gavin Newsom. Oh yeah. He's going to go with Gavin Newsom. He's going to come in. He's got the youth. He's got the stamina. He's got the can do it. He's got a he's got a background that's going to be very fascinating when they get into the dirty politics of elections. Absolutely. Absolutely. He can do all that too. No, I'm talking about things that he's done, which, you know, and I'm talking about things that he hasn't done. You're assuming you're assuming it's going to be an honest attempt to assassinate his reputation. How about a dishonest attempt? Well, of course. Well, of course. That would be interesting. Two white men running for president in 2024. Is that possible? It's possible. But I'm not touching it. Hey, Jay, I want to say one thing. You mentioned 2024 and I think minimally this report, number one, serves as a historical signpost as to what has happened and how this government has kind of taken a left turn off into the rocks. But more importantly, right turn, right turn. Excuse me. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that editorial. But it's going to also serve as a basis. And I hope Jeff's right. I hope Donald Trump is going to be assigned to the ash heap by 2023-24 that he'll be irrelevant to being a candidate for President of the United States. That's my hope. But if it's not, I think this report from the House Select Committee will serve as one important thing as a brief, a basis to disqualify Donald Trump as a candidate for President of the 14th Amendment paragraph three. Well, I will agree that the one thing that I think this may accomplish, but I don't think it'll be because of a constitutional or legal issue. I think it is hurting him and it's hurting him with some small percentage of Republicans. And I think it'll be enough, hopefully, that he will not be a credible candidate. Really. I think that's what we can hope for coming out of these hearings. Don't we see glimmers of that now, Jeff? We see glimmers of that right now. So maybe, although it doesn't change the result in the election, it changes his fortune, don't you think? I got to cover one other point, which we should have covered earlier. Let me ask it down. I'll start with you, Stephanie. What about the media? What can the media do? Here we have this really rocking committee hearing and interesting information coming out. Maybe we knew or should have known before, but it is really, as Jeff says, good theater. Is the media handling it correctly? Can the media do more? Can the media do less? I think they can do more to get down to the nit grit, as you all have been discussing here. What is it that's indictable? How likely is he that he'll be indicted? What does this mean that a president can't be indicted? Can they? They need to move it off of just what they've been doing. I think they're running out of steam on just going over everything that they've already said. So they need to take the lead to get into the nit grit, because they didn't do that when Donald Trump stepped out from Trump Tower, came down the elevator. Nobody ever started in on him. Most of the people at that elevator ride watching it were all New York central casting. I mean, there was all kinds of stuff even before you got to the bus with the bad words on it. So I think, Jay, that's a good question and that we need to demand more out of the media's work. Don't just tell us about Cassidy. Tell us about what's going to happen. Yeah, Tim, you're a big First Amendment guy or reverse First Amendment guy, as the case may be. Oh, that's not true. You think that the, okay, what do you think that the First Amendment is in jeopardy here? You think the press should be doing more or less? Well, there's a number of Supreme Court cases that put limitations on the freedom of speech. So it's, you know, it's laden with them and the Black decision of yelling fire in a crowd, but there's just one of many. But, you know, you asked what the media can do and I'll say it's not the media, it's the FCC. Let's have the FCC take a Fox Entertainment to stop, you know, posing as a news station and start delineate them as an editorial board. Let's separate the news desk from the commentary board. And that goes for CNN. That goes for MSNBC. That goes for every news outlet. Don't call them news unless they start reporting the news. So if that's anti First Amendment, then I'm guilty. Jeff, has the media been doing a good job in getting the word out on this? What, if anything, can the media do going forward to get the reach further into the American hinterland?   So every, you know, every two days during the hearing and the day after, they spend 24-7 on it, as does MSNBC. And Fox, as Stephanie said, tries to figure out what else they can put on. You know, what other issues they can put on to distract. And occasionally, they'll point out how ridiculous the hearings are. Now, I think the media is doing what they always do with any event. I go back to its theater. I'm sorry. That's what it is. It's politics. It's political theater. It's entertaining. If you have eight hours a day to watch, you know, and it's run by the Democrats, and they're doing exactly what they wanted to do.  I think it has had an impact on some small number of people. And actually, it's creating a more evil Trump. You know, he could be just sitting by the sidelines now putting his campaign together, but he's too busy tweeting about every single person that talks bad about him. And he's just increasing what people believe about him, at least the majority of the people that he's a megalomaniac with serious psychiatric problems. And hopefully that continues and it gets worse. Okay, what can you and Tim and Stephanie and I and right thinking people do about this? Because you're painting a picture, you guys collectively are painting a picture where this is going to have no immediate effect. And it may not have an effect except in the history books. Well, we all know what we can do. We can just vote or we can contribute to candidates we support. I mean, that's really what it comes down to. You know, the country elected Trump, he didn't become president because he wanted to be, and he just simply decided I'm Donald Trump. You know, the electoral college elected Trump, and they may do it again. And, you know, it depends on the voters and I've talked about this at Nozom on these programs. The country is divided in half. There's the country to the east of the Alleghenies, which is combined with the country, somewhat west of the Rockies with a few exceptions. And then there's everybody in between. That's where we are. You know what, you got to do away with the electoral college because more and more people are moving to rural areas. More and more people are moving out of cities. Gerrymandering is taking away districts that are minority controlled and the Supreme Court is encouraging it. So, you know, you got to just vote because I suppose it could move to Idaho and vote. Well, but the Democrats have won every election on numbers. That's the way the country should be run. Who gets more votes, not who gets more states. And that's what's wrong. And is that ever going to go away? That's got to be fixed. No, no. Okay. I think it's time for it's time for summarization. If you don't mind last word. I'm done. Well, in some sense, Jeff, we're all done. Stephanie, go. I'd like to see the media, the the the visual, the TV do more like what the New York Times does in the other the other print media. This Herschel Walker thing has really got me just desperate for his the person he's running against who's so accomplished and and and he won't allow and they've fixed it. So he never gets to be shown up against. I'm sorry, his name is escaping me. He's that wonderful Reverend and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s church. So why we can't allow that. They can do it in the New York Times. They can write it down what this man says. Well, CNN ought to be able to see here's Herschel Walker and what he says and run it over and over again. We need more real stuff, which is what they didn't do for us when Trump was running for president. We had had more information than I think we could have avoided this. Okay, Tim, up to you to make sense of all this and to give us at least a shred of optimism. Oh, okay.  I agree with his bill proposal, remove electoral college. Amen to that. If I'd like to provide a friendly amendment, and that is turn limits for everyone in Congress, please, and Supreme Court. But what we really have here, I think is a picture that we've never seen quite in history. And that is a president who just couldn't accept the loss of a vote in 2020 and had to work overtime in every avenue he possibly could to try to just change that that he would retain power. It's a lesson of it's a sad lesson of a flawed, a mentally flawed individual who just couldn't accept a loss and to this day still does not. As far as a positive optimistic look, the gears of democracy is still working. We have a system as as was mentioned on the show, we're not in Russia. This would never be viewed in half of the half of the countries in South America and certainly not in Russia or in China. This is a rare thing that we're watching and it's democracy at its best. My final comment, even though I said I had none, until the country really has one person, one vote, we got big problem. Okay, I guess what I take from that is we're done. Thank you, Tim. Thank you, Stephanie. It depends. It depends what color you want your meat to be. I'd say we're out of the red and we're moving into the dark brown. Can I use a quotation before we sign off? Can I use one of your quotations? Sure. I think I'm going to soak my head. Can I make a book recommendation? There's a book out, Gideon Rachman. He's written The Age of the Strong Man. So he's an editor of the Financial Times, Britt, and he's got a fabulous book out that explains the globalization forces that are pressurizing all of this and then what happens within the countries with the issues of popularism and how these men are so attractive to these people who are so afflicted and the liberal democracies are not meeting their needs and they've just got to rise up and become more informed about it to understand the emotional issues that are involved as well as the lack of attention to the real issues on the ground that these people are dealing with. Okay, we've got to let Tim go and soak his head as the case may be. Thank you all. Thank you, Stephanie. Thank you, Tim. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, James. I so enjoyed these discussions. Aloha.

In the area of biotechnology and bioengineering, my name is Christoph Hitman. I come from the Biotechnology and Engineering Institute at Braunschweig University of Technology. We are very happy that we are interested in our work and we would like to use the following minutes of this short video to explain you some of the ideas and concepts that we have been utilizing to increase recommended protein production relevant area in industrial biotechnology. As you all know, today we produce many proteins which are important in the use of medicine and therapeutics but we also produce a lot of enzymes for industrial processes in food and feed technology and so on. And the recent years have been characterized by a continuous increase of the volume of reactors that are used for the production. So today we are more and more producing these proteins in very large reactors in very large volume. These reactors are typically linked to sub-optimal mixing which may have an influence on the production performance. Due to that we have now tried to engineer and improve the production process for one of the interesting catalysts, Basinus Megaterium and we have been studying the metabolic properties of this bacterium to find out some specific bottlenecks that we can later use to improve the process. In the following Claudia Conelli who is the first author of the paper will explain you what we did. In our study we investigated the impact of the production scale on recombinant protein production. For this purpose we utilized the gram-positive bacterium Basinus Megaterium expressing the green fluorescent protein GFP. This buckets of high relevance for industrial production already in shaking bottles it accumulates high amounts of the modelled protein. To see how the large scale of an industrial process would influence the protein production we designed a specific reactor setup at the lab scale. Through fine-tuning of process control parameters we were able to adjust substrate and oxygen gradients and thus mimic the large scale process. A metabolic fingerprint of the recombinant Basinus strain then revealed a drastic difference in the availability of intercellular amino acids the precursors of the protein product. This became impressively obvious from the difference to the reference process in the correlating heat map. The red color reveals those amino acids that were less available inside the producing cell under the large scale conditions. As can be seen this was most pronounced for five amino acids histidine, tryptophan, lysine, aspartate and glutamine. The metabolic fingerprint thus indicated that probably these amino acids the direct precursors of recombinant protein might limit its production. This could be nicely exploited to design a knowledge-based feeding strategy. Adding small amounts of the limiting compounds boosted production in the industrial scale conditions by 100%. Thank you very much for your attention and now enjoy reading our paper. For further information please visit our website ibbt.de


Today is the most special day of all time, because Nicholas Light TV catches up to attack on Titan. I'm gonna catch up to the very first anime I started watching. There's nothing more important than this day. The episode is called The Dawn of Humanity. Literally, today is the dawn of humanity because I'm reacting to it. It's been a long road, and for those that have joined me on this historic journey, I thank you from the bottom of my non-existent heart. Alright, you cocks. Let's get to the dawn of humanity. When you start with a bird, oh my god, they're doing the credits in the beginning. Would he take a break from the rumbling? Eris in a suit! Is he on a lunch break? So, that was officially one of the most beautiful intros. I don't know what's going on. This has to be a flashback. This is so weird. Oh no! So, this is how we're gonna end it. Oh my god, they're going beyond the walls for the first time. This had to be between episode three and four. Oh no! Oh, oh, oh! No, this is like every fan... Oh my god, this is the fanfiction. I've read some dirty stories about attack on Titan, and this is exactly what people fantasize about. I can't believe this is real what we're watching right now. He doesn't look like a mummy. This is, this is pre-Zic opening his entire body. Look how happy they are. Why couldn't life be like this? Oh my god, the way it fades into it. What is this? Are we gonna see every square dance? Good to see every dude in the macarena. Oh my god, I know.  I feel like them. Azomoto, I keep thinking his name is Azomibito, man. That's my man's. I'm onion.  Oh, he ain't smiling anymore. I can't believe what I- There's a car! Like that? I've never seen a car before. It's a cow! Oh my god, this is gonna be too much for my little heart, man.  They're like, let's not join any attention, but at the same time, we're gonna yell at the car. It's a size difference! Levi is an elf! Mikasa.  And there's Eren.  Look, I just wanna stay close to each other. Look at innocent little Eren, before he had the vision. I miss innocent Eren.  Levi with his hat. I can't believe this. I never thought I'd see them with hats on. This. Please. No. Oh my god. She's eating white stuff. What are you doing to me? This is flipping cold, she said. There's that country accent. This lollipops in a clown! What is this show? A devil who came from that island. Does that look like a devil to you? Maybe that does.  Right of clouds! You!  Get away from me! Yes Sasha, stuff your stomach. Oh! Eren is eating ice cream. Eat it.   They noticed him starting to lose himself in his memories. Oh my god. Oh no, let the kid steal. He's gonna get stoned. I don't know what they do in these times. Smash his hands! No you don't! Why are you all men? Why is it all men? You look like you're doing just fine with that outfit.  Anything below that is ugly. Yeah, that's until you get six foot higher. That's the only thing big about them. No, I mean... His sister.  Hanji's wearing glasses over her eye patch. This is so interesting to see them beyond the walls before all of this rumbling bullshit happened. Look at them as a group, as they should be. Wait, was that like a little thing of Eren seeing that these towns above the walls or beyond the walls are just like the walls? Like, they're basically all that is saying there's good and there's bad people. It's just like within the walls. So is he having like an internal conflict right there?   I'm gonna destroy it. This is gonna be the first footprint on my rumbling body. I love when they play this music. Bring it back for the final season, the final part. I can't believe what I'm looking at right now. This picture is the reason for my depression. Man, I forgot about Historia. Oh my god, I thought Historia was history. Look at that bonsai tree in the back, man. I need one of those. Oh my god, like, there's so much going on in every scene in the season. And in every episode of this show, but especially this season, just the color grading, the animation, the shadowing, everything. You got to appreciate how much time and effort these animators put into it. And I'm joking around when I mentioned the whole CG. You should understand they have to use it every now and then, especially on a design that's complicated as Reiner's. But, wow, you got to give them credit where it's due, man.  Absolutely incredible. Too late for that. Aaron has his own plan. It's so sad, man. This is when they had hope. They were all together. Oh, bro, that, my god. This dude walked out. He said, y'all do what you want to do. I already had the whole rumbling lay out in my head.  You just ruined it. I've been waiting for that moment the entire show. Dude, they look like they're getting married. Aaron asked, look at her getting nervous and all shy and all cute. Not knowing how to answer him. Aaron taking charge. He's like, when am I to you? Mikasa, baby girl. Oh, what is this, bro? Him crying, looking at the people living in those camps because of war. War! War! They were living in war and their homes got destroyed. And he's seeing like the relations that how similar it is to where he's from.  You ruined it. What is that? Better be tequila.  Where are the subtitles? Oh my god, he's speaking in his own. They made up an own language for attack on Titan. That was so cool. This is really the end.  What are you doing to me?  Ah! I was looking at the comments, waited two weeks for a flashback episode.  I don't care if the whole season was a flashback. This is incredible. Seeing Aaron like his less sight of happiness, the less happy smile there's probably this night. That's the importance of this episode, showing you them before the rumbling happened and now the rumblings finally gonna happen.  My god. Just this oh my god. What are you doing to me, man? I'm telling y'all, man, people complaining that this was the flashback episode.    I always make that clear. I just throw it up in the back. The music this episode? I'm gonna cry.   No. First, let them get out of their verse. That's so cool how they're attending this meeting from the outside. Clap! Join the crowd! Aaron's walking out of every room! He just walked out? Oh my god, that's what he realized. He was like this world? Fucking asked for it. Wow, so that was really Aaron's last night as Aaron Yeager. I'm in love with you, Aaron. Can I become Mikasa Yeager now?  I gotta see what Aaron looks like. They gotta show that. No! Learning how it all came together? How do people not love this episode?  See the tatakai or run away? Doesn't Aaron look like Mikasa there? Look at that shot. It kind of looks like Mikasa there. You sure they aren't siblings? She used the M word.  Look at these shots. I won't let kids eat their parents anymore. What kind of sentence is that? Historia. Look at him. He's emotionalist. The baseball. I've never heard of it before. In that case, I'm going to be punished for my life. Don't do that. Then, what will you do?  I'm going to be punished. I'm going to be punished. It all makes sense, man. It's so easy to understand to live and be happy. He thinks that this is the way. That's why he's pushing everyone away.  He's making all of these people hate him because he knows that he's dying in a few years and he just wants the world to be a better place. This is what he believes. I feel like we're going to have a very emotional scene with Eren and Mikasa and the group again explaining to each other how they really feel. Oh my God, man. It's like he believes this is the way. In his mind, this is right. He loves them. He didn't lose his heart. He's putting his heart first.  Oh, no. It's going to continue in the next season.  I have to wait. I have to be a peasant like y'all and wait. I'm used to watching episode episode. I was joking. They're fucking, they're doggy paddling.    Is this going to be the whole next season?   Oh my God. Oh, we got to see Eren. It has to end with a shot of Eren. I got to see what his face looks like. Look at this. This is next season. This is what the next season is going to be like. Why was the intro called the rumbling? If the rumbling doesn't happen the next season. Oh my God, they brought the song back.  We're going to have to wait for the next year to see this town be destroyed. This is the end.  Oh my God, wait a minute, wait a minute.   The fuck? Yeah. So, I'm going to make a video that summarizes how I feel about this show. From first episode until now, how I feel. I'm going to rank the seasons. My favorite moments. What I don't like. What I love. Everything.  Even though there's another season left, we're going to do that. Because we have time before the final season, the final part. Part one begins. Oh my God. Like this episode itself was just so incredible because it showed you how we got to make the first episode of season four but we're showing that in the last episode. It comes full circle. We're understanding everything. And I love how I thought the rumbling was going to begin this season. But it really begins next season. The final season. Part one, two, three, whatever it's called. And we're going to see destruction. I hope.   I'm waiting, man. I want to see destruction, devastation, and death. It makes me sound evil. But I love my destruction and shit, man. Especially in this show. I got to see this. We got the last scene. I want to see Mikasa and Aaron just talking to each other. Coming to an understanding. Like Aaron is doing this for them. And it's so easy to think that. I don't know why I didn't think that. I guess I had to hear it from his mouth himself to really believe it. But he's doing this for them. At least he thinks this is benefiting them. But it's not. How could they live knowing which has happened? They'd rather die than to live like that. But he doesn't know that. He's blinded by this rage and what he believes is right. All that knowledge. All that knowledge could only... A human could only handle so much. So it's like all that knowledge and memories and what people want him to do and what he's been through and what he wants best for his family and his friends. That's all in his mind right now. Making him act this way. And you can't hate him, but at the same time, you know, like dictators in real life have that ideology where they're like, what I'm doing is right for the benefit of people or whatever. You can't really fully be on his side because he's fucking... It's mass genocide, bro. But still. I don't know. It's such a question, bro. How do you feel? How do you guys feel about whatever he's doing? Like, how do you honestly feel? You can't 100% be on his side. If you are, I don't know. I mean, you could agree with it. You could be like, I would do the same thing, but do you fully agree with that shit? Like, are you like... Yeah, man, that's perfectly fine. Mass genocide? They asked for it. Anyways. Yeah, like I said, a big video's coming next week or this next month, whatever, about me talking about this show and how I felt about it. But yeah, guys, that's it. Thank you for joining me on this 89 episode journey, or 87 episode journey. Can't wait. I can't wait for next season. The last season, as I was told. Knowing this show, there's probably no last season. It's just gonna keep on going, but I think the next one is actually the end. So, I'll see y'all in the end.


We will continue to fully support the Iraqi Security Forces and Prime Minister Abadi's government in isolating and destroying ISIS throughout Iraq.


This study has shown that the majority of university teachers and students are willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. However, there is still some hesitation due to concerns about possible side effects and lack of trust in the efficacy of the vaccine. It is important to continue to provide information about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, as well as emphasizing the importance of getting the booster shot to protect oneself and others.
