Live from Las Vegas, Nevada, it's the Cube at IBM Edge 2014. Brought to you by IBM. Hi, everybody, we're back. Welcome to the Cube. This is the production that we have at the Cube of IBM Edge. This is our third year doing Edge. First year was in Orlando, second year in Vegas. We're back in Vegas. Great venue. 5,000 people here. Tom Rosemilia is here. Tom is the Senior Vice President of STG. Tom, welcome back to the Cube. It's good to see you again. Thank you, Dave. I remember doing this last year with you. Yeah, so, as I was saying, the progression of Edge continues. It's growing nicely. A lot of practitioners. Good buzz. At the Sands. How do you feel? I feel pretty good. I must say, you know, when I set in the main tent and infrastructure matters and when I said no matter what we do to R&D, you still need to run something and I said, no matter what we do to R&D, you still need to run software on hardware. You know, everybody clapped. And so it was kind of a refreshing feeling that people realized that no matter how much R&D we come up with, you still got to run it somewhere. You know, whether it's on-prem, off-prem, private cloud, public cloud, whatever it is, it's still running on something, you know? And that matters. You worry about your qualities of service. You worry about whatever it is you're contracting to get, right? So now, at the same time, you've got all kinds of changes going on in the business, right? All kinds of pressures. One or two. Public cloud. You've got software defined. You've got big data cloud, mobile, social. How is that changing sort of IBM's direction, its strategy, and how you as the leader allocate resources? Well, I don't know if you remember this, Dave, but a year ago, I was just, I just had been named in this role and I spent the year prior doing strategy for IBM. Basically, head of strategy. You're taking over for Ginny, right? Next. Yeah. Not that. But we really fundamentally changed our whole way of looking at the world. And I did it anyway. I call it the prairie dog role where I got to really look around and see what was happening with mobile, with social, with analytics, and the cloud. Changed my whole perspective on it. And we really, not that I did it, but we collectively have changed our whole agenda around cloud, analytics, mobile, and social. And in each one of those areas, we've gone deep. And I won't try to cover the whole breadth of IBM. But if you look at cloud and the number of engagements that we and STG did, last year's 5,000 engagements around private and hybrid. And hybrid is a very exciting topic for me because it's the intersection of these systems of engagement and these systems of record. So all the stuff you do on your mobile device, if it's really serious business, it's going to end up somewhere. And it's going to get connected to somewhere. We got 90% of our mainframe clients are saying that they're seeing the effects of mobile on their business. Because it's driving more transactions, driving more queries. People look stuff up because they can. Or they take pictures of the check and they send it into the bank. So now all of a sudden it becomes six transactions instead of a batch job to run there. So for us, cloud is all about getting utilization rates up for people so that you can benefit from the hardware and the software you already bought. You look at analytics and what we've done to the portfolio. It's fairly dramatic changes around analytics in the STG portfolio. What we've done with power, we built power eight from the ground up just for the big data solution. I mean it always been good at analytics but really, really designed for big data. You talked in your keynote about economics and you said the driver for a lot of this cloud stuff really isn't economics. That's not the starting point. It's agility. At the same time, economics matters as infrastructure matters. So I have a question for you. Is rental always going to be more expensive than owning? It really depends what you're doing. Let me just correct one thing. I didn't say it started with economics and now it's about agility. I should have said it started about people thinking it was going to be less expensive and then it became about agility. So it's always about economics. Everything's always about economics. So for me it was about, and the economics are positive for cloud in the agility space. In the speed with which you can get started, you can get up and running. You don't need to build a data center.  So the rental model or the OPEX model versus the capital expenditure has been really good for the industry in terms of giving people capacity when they need it as they need it. And so I think that's what's really fundamentally changed. At the end of the day, if I've got an up and running system, it's not clear to me and the data that I referred to this morning and the analysts, financial analysts in the industry and the financial analysts are saying, if you go here to save money, don't do it. Go here for the speed, for the flexibility that you can get for the experience that you can get, for the acquisition experience you can get. If you're doing this purely about saving money, you may be very surprised that you're not going to save money. Everybody throws around that race to zero. Stu and I talk about John Furrier as well on the cloud. Why is the cloud not a race to zero interview? First off for us in IBM, it's a great way, and I'll speak at the IBM level, it's a great way for us to reach clients we don't reach today. So if you look at our software acquisition and you see some of the some of the main clients who are running on software, it's the Yelps, it's incredible numbers. If you look at your iPhone or your Android device, half the applications on there are hosted on software. So this is not a substitution. These are people that weren't our clients before. So if you look at what we're doing with BlueMix at the middleware, at the platform as a service layer, there's a whole world out there of customers who can now try and buy software that may never have gotten called on by a sales rep. So to me it's an expansion, not a substitution for our business. And that's why we're very excited. It's why it's not a race to zero. Then when you get into places where you're betting your business on something, you're going to want to know that that hardware and that software and the systems management that go along with it are superb. Otherwise, your customers are one swipe away from saying I'll go somewhere else. So whatever it is, whether it's streaming this or purchasing that, or the number of people who are making acquisitions from their mobile devices or moving money in their 401k on their mobile devices, I need to know that stuff is secure. They'll pay for that value. They'll pay for that value because they know that if they don't as a company, if I don't provide you an outstanding experience, you're going to go somewhere else. So one of the things we've done, again, it's not my area, but mobile first, is about designing things for these devices, not designing it for a browser and then trying to port it. You spend all your time doing this and that and this. You can tell it was a browser-based answer that now I've called my mobile app versus something that takes advantage of the smarts that are in those devices. So Tom, if we talk about the big trends in the industry right now, cloud, mobile, social, it's mostly about the modernization of applications and infrastructure serves that up. I was at OpenStack last week and if you'd asked most of the people there, does infrastructure matter? They're like, I don't know, we're going to standardize it and just give you some APIs and do open source. What do you say to all those people that say application drives everything? IBM's got a huge portfolio of big data and analytics and mobile that they're doing out there. How much does infrastructure really matter? So first off, it's interesting that you say that. We've got a lot of people, probably the most in the industry, contributing to OpenStack. So we're big supporters of OpenStack. OpenStack, by the way, is infrastructure. So if they say it doesn't matter, they're saying, we don't matter, which boggles my mind because what they're doing is doing it in an open and a standard way. But everybody who's embracing OpenStack is delivering infrastructure. Matters when it breaks. So I would debate that what they're doing is not infrastructure, it's absolutely infrastructure. Systems management, right? I don't just mean hardware when I talk about infrastructure. It's the hardware and it's the governance of that hardware, the security that goes along with it, provisioning of it, use of it. Much more than just hardware. Absolutely, absolutely. We saw Ginny last week on CNBC before the financial analysis meeting. Look good, very confident, poised, comfortable with where IBM was at. Our whole company stopped. We said, oh, Ginny's on. Everybody gathered around. Listen, listen to her words. She's also, I imagine, very demanding, just observing. And a big part of her business is your business. So I wonder if you could talk about some of the things that are in your control.  You've got a new line of storage portfolio, obviously, your STG, so it's a little higher level than just storage. But you refresh the line, and then you have a new software to find me. What kinds of things are in your control, and talk about your business and what you expect going forward? So, like most business people, you have a fixed set of monies you can spend and a fixed number of people that you have. And the biggest decision we make every day is how do we deploy the people? What are the priorities that we're going to call? What are they going to be working on? And so we've recast our entire business in a cloud analytics, mobile, social vein to say, what does STG mean for those spaces, right? So we've got people working on those things because they're such important businesses for us. So we've called plays, we've enabled teams, we've actually changed our messages for it, not just for the marketplace, but for internals to say, here's what we're doing, here's why infrastructure matters for cloud, for analytics, for mobile, for social. All of those things are decisions that I make to transform this business. And you're right, there's a lot of moving parts, there's a lot of things undergoing change. The mainframe for me is a cyclical business, as we've declared, as Jenny has declared, because I'm never as good as my great-looking quarters, I'm never as bad as my bad quarters. But that thing just comes and goes, and there's so many people, Western civilization still runs on that. So the downturns are reversible, right? Is that what you're saying? Well, actually what I'm saying is that what we look at as an industry, and there's no other way to do this, I'm not suggesting it's wrong, is we look at the quarterly hardware revenue. But that doesn't say whether people are, you know, when I grew 70% one of my quarters when I was just running the mainframe, I didn't grow 70%, meaning that I had 70% more customers, or that there was 70% more capacity up there. Cycles. They were cycling through, so you couldn't actually tell what's happening to the install base. It's really the install base that you worry about, is it saying, are they still using my stuff? This quarter they don't happen to buy new stuff, but they still have my stuff. So there's a big difference between the quarterly hardware revenue and what that does to the install base. And we have grown the MIPS install base out there. We have grown the power install base out there. I mean, storage is growing like 35%, you know, in just gigabytes. So the industry is consolidating, but the install base is not consolidating? Is that what I'm hearing? I'm saying the install base is not going away. You know, we deliver them. You know, one of my challenges, we deliver them outstanding price performance, which is great for them. Year after year after year. It makes it hard for me to grow revenue when I'm saying, you know, the stuff now comes at, you know, twice the capacity, half the price. You know, you do the math and you go, man, that's a lot to sell. So the price performance that we deliver, in a combination of just the sheer speed, optimization we're doing with our software, and then raising the utilization rates. Look at the utilization rate. Average server utilization in the industry is, what, 10 to 15 according to the McKinsey data? We've got customers running 60, 70, 80. Mainframe customers running 90, 95.  That's a hardware software and actually a labor statement because I'm maximizing, you know, what I have. So I'm selling into that, right? So they're not going away. They're just not necessarily meeting as much more as would take to grow my revenue. That's my challenge. Now, you guys, you're embracing software defined. You're embracing open source. A lot of people would say, conventional wisdom, would say, Tom, what are you guys out of your mind? You're going to put everything on command for open source? How are you going to make any money? What would you say to that? So for us, open source is really a development model, not a sales model. It's not about, you know, selling open source for us. It's about embracing it, clothing it, and delivering it with increased value, increased testing, so quality assurance that goes into that, you know, the performance tuning that goes into that, the support that goes into that. So it's not open source or make money. It's, for us, it's about, that's why we contribute so much to open source. But you talk about, you know, storage since that's one of our focus areas here, I'll try to end with that. You know, there's a lot of disruptions going on in the storage space right now, and I'm good with that. You know, software defined is a huge disruptive play because it says that I can, you know, I can use commodity based hardware and make it up in the software, the infrastructure software that rides on top. Not application software, the infrastructure software that says I can figure out how to recover from failure, so if I have older disks that are going to fail, I can keep going. So software defined allows me infinite scale at up to 90% lower cost. That's a pretty attractive value proposition for a client. If you look at flash and what it's doing to the industry, it's not priced per gigabyte or priced per terabyte. It's priced per what I need. It's, you know, and I need far less flash than I do spinning disks. I don't have to underfill it. I could fill it almost all the way up, and the performance I get is dramatic. So that's a game changer in the industry. I'm good with that. What we're doing around power with open power and the consortium with now 31 members of the consortium, I'm good with that. I think that's a wonderful move for us. Well, we heard one of your customers on stage talking about a two-order of magnitude improvement. I tweeted out there's got to be some flash in there somewhere. But I learned in Boston last week you're going to ride the coattails of Watson. You bring in HPC and big data to get into storage and analytics and flash. Those are all the disruptive factors that you have to push those levers. I do, I do, and that's what we're pushing. We've really re-changed the agenda to be about those things right there. All right, we'll have to end it there, but I'll give you the last word. The bumper sticker pulling away from Las Vegas as you go on to your next show, your next customer meeting. What's that bumper sticker say? What's the message to customers? I think it might be infrastructure matters. Infrastructure matters. There you go. Thank you, Tom. I appreciate you coming on theCUBE. Thanks, Dave. All right, keep it right there. We'll be right back with our next guest. This is theCUBE. We're live from IBM Edge in Las Vegas.


Shortly after I moved from Texas to the Lafayette area, I realized how much I was missing my bike very quickly. Literally within the first couple of weeks after moving here, I was in the shop building my own bike and learning all kind of bike skills. I love the fact that I built my bike because I would have never thought in a million years I would be, I would build a bike, much less learn how to, you know, oil and clean my chain and take things off and, you know, and to work with the bike so intimately. So it's a sense of pride that I was able to build my own bike. When I talk about my bike, it's just like, yeah, I built that. I built that. Biking is extremely therapeutic for me and it's a way to get good exercise. Of course, less carbon emissions and as I got more and more into it, I decided to sell my car and just go bike. So I've been carless for a year and a half. I'm seeing Selena Grove when she first started coming here. She did the earn a bike program. So she didn't know a whole lot about bike mechanics, but I definitely seen her gain a lot of skill. Teaching the class with her was really fun. I was completely honored to be asked to be a part of the Women's Complete Mechanics series because, unfortunately, there aren't too many opportunities in our community for women to really learn these skills and to be comfortable in that. I was just thrilled at the fact that I was asked and I could provide that for other women who want to get more hands-on with biking. I think that the biggest impact community cycles has in the community is just providing a viable mean of transportation that's cheap for people. I think it makes a huge difference in the lives of people who can't afford a car. We also work very closely with the city on advocacy stuff. We're trying to keep cyclists and boulder safe. That's our main goal, to see more people ride bikes. It's not just me being a participant in the bike community and using it to commute and using it in a therapeutic way and to enjoy the sights and the scenery here. It's like now I'm endowed with these skills where I can help other people build their bike and integrate them into this community. I love community cycles and I don't know. I really don't know where I would be if community cycles wouldn't have been here.


Hanging System with us now on October 28th, International Animation Day recognizes the artist, scientists, technicians behind animated art. It's also a day to celebrate all aspects of animation. When artists manipulate drawings to appear as moving parts, they are creating animation. This art form has been used for more than 100 years to create cartoons and other types of entertainment. Through the years, artists and technicians have developed different kinds of animation. And this is one day that is worth celebrating because there's nobody on this planet Earth that would not see that the cartoons have really impacted their lives. God bless. God bless. Walt Disney. Yes. Walt Disney. Who else was it? So I've forgotten all the other names that used to, but Walt Disney is something that would stick in anybody's mind because we had the Roger Rabbits, we had the Tom and Jerry's and everything. No, all of them. Now, bringing it into our present day, parents encourage your kids about coding. If you find any child that has an interest in coding, teach them, let them learn it because animators are real money makers. If they get a chance to go abroad, we don't do too many animated productions here, although we do a few adverts. But if a child knows how to, let me give you a classic example.   He loves to draw and apparently some people are already paying attention to him from America because the characters he's come up with, they're thinking, you know, we could actually create a show around this. The Marvel Studios started with cartoons, all the Wakanda forever, Superman, Wonder Woman. What's that thing called? The paper thing? Yeah. Yes. This is how all these people started and you can imagine the billions of dollars that they're earning now, based on ideas that came 100 years ago. Absolutely. So you learn coding. I love cartoons. I watched a recent movie, like I think about three weeks ago, most times when I go on Netflix, all the streaming apps, I just try to find soft things to watch. I watched the one cartoon, it was an artist, you know, he was an artist, all black characters, very lovely. I love the storyline. I keep seeing it. People are really, as grown men, are saying it's really good because it's not an actor or something. It's an adult movie, actually, it's not for children, but it's so good. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to watch it. I mean, the scenes, you know, the very, the love scenes.  Alright, so what did you find for us in the news? Well, let us rejoice with Elon Musk yet again. He has finally put the sell-through with Twitter, with all the back and forth that they had. He's finally acquired it, and he says he's going to use it to help humanity. I just want to ask Elon, how is Twitter going to help us with flooding? Is it that we're going to be able to communicate our issues faster? I don't understand that angle, but I want to see it. And because of Nostra Demons' predictions, I'm very wary of people that try to acquire so much wealth, right? Because they say, you know, the Antichrist is going to come. I don't know. And where are you going with this conversation? Just to congratulate you. I've said I've congratulated him. But I was going to say that this Twitter acquisition has just been, so from in my head, I thought he had bought it too. So when I now saw this again today, I'm now wondering, okay. But there was a story that Norma was supposed to take. I want to quickly, just quickly mention this. Yes. This was Norma's story. Right? Donald Trump says now, Twitter is in sane hands. Right? So as the former president has hailed the sale of Twitter to the tech billionaire Elon Musk, saying that he was pleased that the platform was now in sane hands. So I mean, I'm happy that Twitter is now in sane hands and will no longer be run by radical left lunatics and maniacs that really hate our country. Luke Trump said on his social media platform, wow. Luke was talking about maniacs and lunatics. Donald Trump. I held it. I really held it. Right? But I just had to bring that story because, hey, Twitter has been a bit of, like, you know, there's been a back and forth, especially with some of the tweets. But I get the part. With the Nigerian government. You didn't mention when Nigerian government said they don't want tweets. They want to ban it. No. So I'm saying that when Donald Trump is saying, is finally in sane hands and now wondering, okay, are you trying to say that you're going to be now giving the free reign to just tweet whatever it is you like. You know, it takes crazy to recognize crazy. No, no, no. But there will still be the Twitter community. There will still be those laws guiding what you post. So do not think that because maybe someone in your corner has the platform that you can now come out and start using for hate crimes. Yeah. Like what we had here. I know you because there are rules guiding those platforms. And it cannot, if not, everybody would just, you know what?  The story is just to follow up from what I talked about yesterday. That's our president, Muhammad Buhari. I'm saying that we should all be vigilant and we should be calm. This is coming off of the back of the travel advisory that the U.K. and the U.S. government gave about, yes, and about what's it called? The security alert that was raised. So he was saying that we should be calm. It says safety remains. So now there are two key words I want to or two lines I want to just bring out. And I'm wondering it says safety remains our highest priority as the government. So I'm wondering if safety. So wait, wait, wait, if safety was priority and this is what we're seeing, like this is the kind of insecurity that we are facing. If it was not a priority, where would we be? This is what you call a priority. And things are just going underneath your. So that's one. And he says security agents are proactive. Sorry, proactively rooting out threats to citizens. And I'm wondering proactively rooting out. Do you know what being proactive means? I think he's just, he just likes grammar. Because every time, almost every time he makes a statement, I will put allegedly whether or not it fits into it just so we don't get sued. Every time he makes a statement is always contradicting himself because his actions don't show what he claims in his statements. How can you say that security or whatever, anything that has security and Nigeria together in a sentence. There are no five or six. I was going to say that though, I mean, which he rightly claims that unfortunately terror is not unique to Nigeria.  So yes, I get that part. But you see, for me, Seth, this one that we are talking about, the threats and all of that, I don't even know to what extent now. Let's hope that whatever it is, this proactivity that he said, his security agents are proactively fishing out what's equal to the threat. Let's pray that it's defective because I don't know where we'll be. Because you remember we used to, there was a time when bombs were going off all over Nigeria. I hope that never happens again. I hope not. So please, being an ex-military person, you should understand a bit of what intelligence is that you need to employ to prevent these things from happening. I want to leave to see my 50th next year. Absolutely. Okay, so we'll take a break now. When we come back from the break, we will be discussing the CBN rebranding of our Niren notes. Why now? That's the question. Stay with us. We'll be right back.


What's going on guys, now over the past week YouTube has been rolling out a system update which has affected many many content creators including myself. This system is an automatic system which basically searches the millions of daily uploaded videos to YouTube for certain keywords within the title, the description and the tags. Now what happens when you find these keywords is basically the video loses monetization so the content creator can't apply ads to it and can't make money from their videos. While a system as such could be a good thing, it's affecting many many content creators who are doing nothing wrong and their videos are fine, yet they're still being hit by this. YouTube themselves have admitted the system isn't perfect which it ain't by a long shot but at the end of the day it's in place and we might just have to make do with it if we want to stay on their platform. Now today I'm going to try and help you guys out, as me personally I've had just under 300 videos hit by this new system update and I've kind of found a link between them all and I explain all I can in this video to help you guys out and keep your future videos safe. Now if your video manager looks like this and it's just full of videos that have been demonetized or if you've got only a certain few videos that have been demonetized and you're thinking about requesting a review, there's a few things you may want to do before you actually request that review. Now like I said YouTube and this system it searches for certain keywords, if you find these keywords it gets hit by this demonetization nonsense. So if you're going to request a review you want to remove such keywords now there's certain keywords which you may not think are bad but YouTube on the other hand will do.  Even some instances I'm seeing the word leak being affected and as I do a lot of top 5 free cat reactions free cat I'm thinking is another word as well and I can understand as anything sexual related could be misinterpreted by this new system and be hit so anything sexual related words such as war death kill anything weapon related and so forth is a big no-no so basically if you're thinking about requesting a review you want to go into the editing tab in your video menu of the video you want to request a review on and you want to search it for any bad words as we can see here one bullet 10 kills so you just want to do change that one bullet 10 players down you want to use such words as simple as that you definitely want to stay away from words such as kill death etc etc because it's a big no-no now my video description is fine as I did a bulk edit on my video description which I'll show you guys to do in a quick second so we're going to go on to tags now there's going to be a few tags here which I know and not going to be being worthy by YouTube so let's see what we got here actually I'm not seeing that much I'm not seeing that much no I'm not seeing anything in my tags which in my opinion seem well could be bad could be being bad by YouTube but definitely my title did have the word killer in it so yes that's probably why this one video got done over so what you want to do is and as well I'm not sure if video thumbnails are affected but if you've got the word killer anything bad in your video thumbnail just change it make a new one or just change it to one of the default ones so once you've done that you want to save it before you click monetization so once it save click on monetization and request a manual review so this is me this means basically someone working at YouTube will check out your video manually and as we can see it says this right here right now we're only able to review videos with at least 1000 views within the past seven days will review your video when it reaches that threshold and give you a final decision usually within a week now this is the problem a lot of small content creators here don't get a thousand views within a week on their video so once they video gets demonetized it's it struck there's nothing they can do about it the system itself is completely bust it's just broke it's a bad bad system and YouTube personally do need to sort it out they seriously do now before I show you how to bulk edit your videos another thing you want to sort out is your default tags default description etc etc and also your channel tags so what you want to do is you want to go to channel which is on the left hand side within your video manager click on upload defaults and anything bad within here take it out I actually had because you guys know I do destiny videos I had weapon reviews and setups within every single one of my video descriptions I did a bulk edit and remove the weapon and as you can see it just says reviews and setups now which probably would have made an impact on a lot of my videos I mean I've uploaded 3000 videos to YouTube now only 200 nothing 280 or 290 were affected so I'm glad I did remove this before the system did come in place now if you've got default tags as well double check them if you've got a default title double check that and then just click save then what you want to do is click on advanced and check your channel keywords because if there's anything bad in here just simply remove it and you guys know the keywords I explained at the start of the video anything sexual related anything war related anything that could be deemed a weapon anything to do with killing dying terrorism absolutely anything like that you do not want to use anything you want to stay completely away from them okay so now I'm going to show you guys how you can bulk edit your videos so we'll go back to my video manager at the top here we can see it says what you can click here and it marks every single video then you can click this year all videos on this page are selected select all your videos whatever okay so what you want to do then is click on description or tags whatever title even click on description we've got a pen set to and remove you want to click on and remove and write in a keyword so it would weapon and just click submit and it will probably take a while if you got many videos takes about 20 minutes to do or 25 minutes to do all my 3000 videos but that's how you move bulk words from your description the same thing works with tags as well you can do the same thing remove tags now this is another thing to add as well which is actually important if you're opting to remove the word weapon from all your video tags and you've got weapon review in your video tags it won't remove weapon review it only moves the single tag of weapon so if you want to remove weapon review you have to actually type in here weapon review same go to kills kill streak etc etc but at the end of the day this is to remove tags from your videos I've probably already been demonetised for this very reason and that very tag so basically a bulk edit probably won't help you as it's already been demonetised so like I said just do what I said with the request in a review and remove all them keywords now another thing I'm not sure if it's picked up by this new system is you swearing in your videos now I've got many videos that I've still got swearing in on my behalf that haven't been demonetised but then I've got other videos that I've got no bad keywords in a title description or in the video tags but yet I'm swearing and it's got demonetised so the way the system works is completely puzzling to be honest I'm not sure if YouTube themselves understand how it works and here's another instance I've requested in the view I'm probably about a hundred plus videos at the moment YouTube have got back to me on two of them one of them was a talking about a strategy guide for destiny 2 nothing bad at all within the video title description tags the thumbnail or even in the video nothing bad whatsoever the other video was a top five sniping killstreaks of the week now are these two videos which one do you think like it's monetization back and which one got denied yes you guessed it the strategy video got denied but yet my top five sniping killstreaks of the week was allowed to be demonetised and that is what I'm saying YouTube themselves are confused there's no two which ways about it another thing to add guys as well if you've got a video which is ready to be uploaded to YouTube make sure that video itself has got no bad words in it no bad keywords YouTube may pick up on so for instance if this video here was called top five kill streaks YouTube will pick that up and flag it straight away so keep your videos rendered ready to upload to YouTube at a default minimum no bad keywords in them whatsoever and you should be fine but yeah guys the system is BS but it is in place the only thing you can do to keep you and your channel and your video safe is to stay away from any bad keyword YouTube may pick up on and flag your video and I'll go through the keywords again anything war-related and you can understand why a lot of quality videos are being hit by this anything referring to a weapon like a weapon review a weapon montage or of a said weapon say SMG I've had a lot of videos with auto rifle SMG's rocket launches in the titles I've been flagged so stay away from anything like that anything sexual related I mean I've had a load of my old-school black ops emblems and flagged a lot of them had sexy ladies they all got flagged which I can easily fix gain anything deflated anything kills anything terrorism related anything like that be super careful of and again just double check absolutely everything in your video description your tags and your title and that is it guys I hope this video helped you out if you're a little confused about this situation but to be honest I don't think you're confused as you two are at the minute with this actual whole system it's just a big mess it seriously is but guys hope you enjoyed the video thanks as always for stopping by do hit that like button if it helped you out and I'll see you on that next one


Hallo iedereen, mijn propozel is om Wikidata te gebruiken als een universale library-tazaurus, mainly voor naam-autorities, en dat het even in dit environment wel heel provocatief is, denk ik. En het is een propozel op m'n behalve, het is zeker niet... Ik moet dat stressen, het is zeker niet de vormlijke politie van de National Library of Netherlands. Dit is een overvuur van m'n talk. Ik zal eerst de ideeën en de motivatie spelen. Dan zal ik laten zien hoe we Wikidata gebruiken in onze historische newspapers. En later zal ik over verschillende aspecten en verschillende manieren gebruiken. En dan wat prozen, wel niet prozen en cons, maar prozen en objecties. Objecties die ik hier van andere mensen heet. En dan zal ik wat conclusies geven. Nou, eerst, waarom gebruiken we dit? Nou, we gebruiken het voor een unieke identificatie van entities. Autoritiescontrol. We gebruiken het om contextinformatie over een entity te geven. En we kunnen het gebruiken om een semantische search te enableen, based on de entitiesproperies. En voor welke reden zouden we linken met Wikidata? Well, Wikidata can serve as knowledge base and has helped to a lot of other knowledge databases. And it links identifiers to each other. So why not combine it? So the idea is to adopt Wikidata as universal disorders. And the reason for it is that libraries and other institutions from different disciplines increasingly want to get connected to each other. And connecting to a central hub is more efficient than connecting everything to everything. And using the same identifier is even more efficient than linking resources. And besides that, using Wikidata identifier is much more efficient than inventing yet another identifier. And libraries might want to share the responsibility for a common disorder, and in this case the Wikidata is common disorders. So we need to create trusted links, and this is the current situation. You see in the left corner you see a small view of a bibliographic record from the National Library of the Netherlands. You see there a link to Wikidata to the Tissaures, and the Tissaures links to FAYAV, and FAYAV links to ISNI, and ISNI links to Wikidata. And so we can get the link to Wikidata in our records. But in many situations we don't have those links and they have to be created, especially in case of text it's quite difficult. En I will come back to that later when I talk about historical newspapers. So this is the current situation where the library catalogue records link to Tissaures, and the Tissaures can link to Wikidata and to other Tissaures. This is the situation, the first step which will be a lot better when we have Wikidata as central hub. So everything is connected through Wikidata. And this is the situation that I want to propose that Wikidata is used directly as Tissaures. And what needs to be done is... Here you see a few examples of how, for example in this case Einstein as a creator can be identified in different bibliographic records from different libraries. In this case the National Library of the Netherlands, the British Library, the BNF, the Library of Congress, and they all use different identifiers for the same entity. And the proposal is, in fact, bring the Wikidata identifier to the surface and index those Wikidata identifier so that you can search for them. And bringing to the surface means that they don't have to be displayed to the user, but they have to be available in such a way that, for example, users can use it in microformats or something like that and can search for the identifier. So this is in fact an overview of what I still consider Mission Impossible, that we have different national libraries and the situation on the left is that they link to their own Tissaures and the situation on the right is that they all link to Wikidata directly. And the reason for the extra motivation is to do that is that it lowers barriers. Instead of having a number of unique identifiers, we have a globally unique identifier and we minimize the number of hubs to link from one identifier to the other we try to minimize the number of variations for identical queries in different databases and we want to minimize the number of required knowledge to access those different databases or catalogs. And sharing a global identifier makes it easier for institutions to connect without dramatically changing their infrastructure and I will come back to that later. En in general we standardise everything. Protocols, metadata formats, everything we standardise. Why not the resource identifier? So now I come to what was actually the motivating use case. The KB is not a knowledge database, but it's concoct bibliotheek. The historical newspapers. What you see here is on the left we have Davidpedia, Wikidata, FIAAF and we indexed the relevant properties that we need for linking in a solar index. On the other side you have the newspaper article and we have an enrichment process which takes the article, dus named entity recognition, get the entities and search the entities in that solar database with all the relevant properties and then find the best candidates. We have a disambigration process for it which makes use of machine learning techniques and we store the resource identifiers of that entity together with the article identifier in an enrichment database. This is the infrastructure. As we use it on the left it's the infrastructure that we use in the National Library and we make use of a high performance cloud computing cloud for the time consuming disambigration process. Because it takes a long time to process all the articles so what we do is we increase, we improve the disambigration algorithm and instead of starting again from the beginning we just go on, loop through all the newspaper articles and at the end we start again at the beginning en we have enriched all the articles with different quality or different confidence and we can recognize the enrichment because the name of the algorithm that is being used is part of the enrichment we know that an enrichment or a linked entity is the result of an old algorithm and so here you see in the steps that we make in improving the algorithm it's not really relevant for now but it's interesting to see that we constantly are improving the confidence level of the enrichment now how we use it we harvest all the articles then we take all the enrichment that we have stored in the enrichment database and we index them together in again a new index that we use for the newspapers in those index we index the text but also for example the wikidata identifier and now a user can do a search and in some cases the search can be sent to wikidata as a sparkle query and the results are wikidata identifier because we indexed all the wikidata identifiers they can be searched in that index so here is the result of a sparkle query entered in a research portal that we use and that sparkle query is to search for all articles mentioning members of the parliament that are not born in the Netherlands so you see below the sparkle query dat belongs to it and with a small change and in fact that small change I consider that as increasing the barrier to use it with a small change we can also do the same query almost the same query in the library catalog so you see all books that have an author are about as a subject a member of parliament that was not born in the Netherlands of course we cannot offer we cannot let users we cannot ask from users to enter a sparkle query that's impossible everybody agrees I think so what we do is that we have the option to enter a query term between square brackets and then the software behind it there's a best guess so in this case the newspapers are Dutch so this is also Dutch but the query is action movie and Roman emperor you can also enter that Roman emperor in English and then the software will find the best relation for Roman emperor and in this case it's quite simple it just searches for all the Roman emperors and if you do that without just pure without the action movie you will get I think half a million of articles that contain one or more Roman emperors but in this case and there are a number collections and only in the newspapers plus collection we have indexed the Wikidata identifier so if you are going to try it yourself choose that collection now this is a list of search results and we just select one click on it and then we get the article presented here and what you see on top are all the named entities that are linked to Wikipedia, Wikidata in most cases Wikidata in some cases if it's not in Wikidata it's only Wikipedia or DbPedia and you can click on that to get more information to get context information and then you see a picture and the option to to get more context information from different resource databases like DbPedia, Fiat, etc. but you can also ask directly for more information and that information is obtained from Wikidata and now you see a number of properties and in this case the red arrow is at the field spouse Elizabeth Taylor and by clicking on the field name you can search in all the articles in that same property so if you click on the field name if you click on Elizabeth Taylor you find just articles about Elizabeth Taylor but if you click on the field name you find all articles about everyone who has been married with Elizabeth Taylor so this is the search result at the end I will give some more examples in a life situation so I will now tell something about the different approaches environment and the coverage if we use not every institution and not every user has the same infrastructure available or the resources for doing all kinds of advanced things so in the first case you see above the situation where you have a sparkle endpoint for your local library and then you can do a federated query the second case you don't have a sparkle endpoint but you just have indexed the Wikidata identifier in your normal existing infrastructure and then you can do the same as what I showed with the newspaper articles search the Wikidata identifiers where it means of a sparkle query and use them to search in your local environment where you have indexed them and then the search situation is that you use the Wikidata identifiers in your local library catalog records and when you have a record displayed then you can use the identifier to create a link in other libraries that support this same ID so when other libraries also support the ID of using the Wikidata identifier for identification of entities then you can use that same identifier to create a query and it's possible to have different mixtures of the identifiers in the beginning you will probably have at least we at the Royal Library we have a local tazaurus and in some cases identifiers to well not yet to Wikidata now in this case we have a local tazaurus and the Wikidata has external links to our tazaurus in some items in the sorry, I said it wrong some items in the local tazaurus can contain a link to Wikidata that's not the case now, but that's the next step and you can also use items in bibliographic records that link to either Wikidata or to the local tazaurus, you can mix them and in the end we will have all items in bibliographic records linked to Wikidata and the idea is not to to get rid of the local tazaurus completely it can be kept for administrative purposes as long as the Wikidata identifier is on the surface and usable for external parties so this is the current coverage you see here the newspaper entities the KB tazaurus the Tazaurus of the National Library and Wikidata and at this moment we have only a fraction of the entities in the tazaurus linked to Wikidata or Wikidata linked to the tazaurus and we have ten times as much named entities in the newspapers that link to Wikidata that was a simple overview, in fact we have more collections we have more fragmented, so we have different collections we have different combinations of items that exist either in one or in two or three collections so this is the path that I want to propose this is the current situation we have a number of Wikidata records that link to our tazaurus at this moment about 5% what we can do is use that 5% to have the bibliographic record link to Wikidata directly but for the other 95% you still have to link to the local tazaurus but by a match and merge process we can try to get a level of 100% and in the end all bibliographic records can link to Wikidata directly the local tazaurus is only kept for administrative purposes so here it said pros and cons that should be pros and objections so the advantages of using Wikidata as tazaurus is that it lowers the barrier to connect to different databases it doesn't always require an advanced infrastructure to benefit from it it has less maintenance because it's maintained by Wikidata and it's volunteers and it covers more domains and it has a potential richer set of properties available the objections that are here are one is that libraries perceive it as losing control when authorized users may change items there is a danger of vandalism different organizations or countries may have a different view on a specific item because of political reasons and things like that there is a risk of duplicate entries for new items when you share the responsibility for Wikidata and sometimes I hear well what happens if Wikidata appears the answer is simple we still have the identifiers and that's what it was all about for a part so summarizing Wikidata can serve in my view as a universal library tazaurus using Wikidata as a single universal tazaurus facilitates identification of entities across organizations and we can share properties replacing the tazaurus identifiers imbibographic records can be done gradually it doesn't have to be in one go and when the transition is complete you can still keep the tazaurus for administrative purposes but not for bringing the identifier to the surface external parties do not need the identifier the link to the local tazaurus and use of Wikidata identifiers is not restricted to sparkle queries identifiers can also be used en indexed in conventional queries so well I have taken all my time but I can show a live demo of using it but I first do the questions just one or two questions excuse me sometimes the authorities are used as references for Wikidata or Wikipedia if you do that at the end who will be the authority in the beginning I talked about shared responsibility so libraries share the responsibility and have a shared authority organization the role of the librarians should redefine in order to keep control of the responsibility about the real information but not the tool I said in the beginning it's quite provocative last question sorry as I understand your proposal the actual querying would only compromise possibly the indexing phase for an end user facing service I really have a problem to rely on centralized services you have to have a very good service level provided and would you do you see in this service level problem any problems if we would follow through with that what would be the implication for the user if for instance Wikidata doesn't disappear but has a problem an outage for several hours or stuff like that it's mainly about the concept the technical infrastructure that's behind it doesn't have to be one central index it can be copied there can be mirrors it doesn't have to be at one place but it's mainly having one type of query in a distributed environment so if one server fails then there are other servers and you can do it also locally you can have a local copy of Wikidata but it's mainly the identification that's what it's about dat is een vraag heel snel had je contact met andere Nationaal Libraries die hetzelfde idee hebben want ik denk dat het interessant is ik dacht dat ik eerst het uit hier probeer want Nationaal Libraries zijn niet erg willen om zo'n idee te adopten niet nog steeds dat is geen vraag sorry, geen meer vraag je moet het later praten sorry bedankt kijk naar de slide daar zijn we op de slide bedankt


You are watching... During the day, mild mannered day and at night, super hamlet. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da! Comedy Central! Neetra Van. I'm a vegetarian, and I used to work at Bloomingale. This is my favorite bag, the 85 bag. I think of myself as every woman and some men. Not too long ago, I went uptown to pay a bill and I held the door open for a woman because she had a cane in one hand and someone was holding her arm and I held the door open for her and she said to me, Thank you very much, sir or miss. For y'all that don't know, my name is Cabrini Green, Harlem Watts Jackson. My favorite sport is running. I'm in the 10th grade. I'm 17 years old and I have two children. My son's name is Kwanza Yu-Hur-Ru-Rizak Jackson. My son's name is Tom A. Tequila-Watusi Jackson. So I started missing all our days in the school and I started feeling really dizzy all the time and even though I wasn't eating very much, I started getting a whole lot of weight that you did.  But no, I wouldn't have been embarrassed and nothing like that because I could have played it off or blamed it on somebody else. You know what I'm saying?   I said, I said, how am I supposed to know how that happened? I said, how am I supposed to know how that happened? You didn't teach me nothing about stuff like that. The school don't tell you nothing about stuff like that. You're asking me how that happened? You know it didn't happen the way Mary got Jesus because we're not Catholic. I mean, you know, don't get me wrong, I love my mama you did. But that day, she was getting on my very last nerve. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, you know, my mama didn't hit me or nothing like that because we got a good kind of a communication gap going back and forth.  I was watching Gilligan's Island's reruns The Jetsons, The Flintstones.  No, no, no. But, but anyway, you know, after about nine months of looking out of style and out of shape, I finally gave birth to Binky. We called Kwanza, Yuhuru, Razzak, Jackson, Binky for short. And that same day, Anze came to the hospital to visit me. You know, he stepped into my room just as big as life looking really good.  I didn't hardly recognize him without his radio and everything. And he said, he said, he said, he said, Hey, Slim.  It wasn't in a box or something like that because he got those sophisticated continental ways, you know. He said, yeah, Slim, Slim, this is your pre-engaged ring because I've been thinking about planning on wanting to be asking you, will you marry me? And it was just a little bitty chipper for diamond ring but it looked it good to me. And then we took some pictures of me in the ring and him in the ring and me in the baby and him in the baby and me in the ring and the baby and him in the ring and the baby.  That kind of thing, it irked me, it gets to my nerves. I don't want to deal with that. I said, buzz, buzz, buzz, diapers. So when he was alone again, he said, you still haven't answered my question. Will you marry me? And I looked at him, you know, he was so fat. He had some smooth, brown skin and soft, baby, brown eyes. And I was looking at him and he was looking at me and he said, well, and I said, you got to be on drugs. What would I look like? 16 years old, married some 17-year-old boy. Boy, boy, you don't see your boys. I'm a man. I thought I meant you be a man.  It's not interesting to learn no kind of a wife's routine unless there's going to be some cash, money involved. You know what I'm saying? I just said no. So I was like, why should I get married to get my baby a last name? The baby can have my last name. It's Jackson's name is Andre. I may be a product of Chicago Public School System, but I can read. And I've been reading about wife abuse and child abuse and what they call that, macho satanism.  I'm going to go on to finish high school, go on to college, give me a good education, get out and give me a job, like a honey bear or a Dallas Cowgirl cheerleader or a manager at a Burger King or McDonald's restaurant. You know what I'm talking about? Something to make a difference that people laugh. What happened after that was me and my friends would get together and talk about our experience with our children and our young men and things like that. And I was saying, you know, tell them about the time when me and Andre were together for the first time. And he said, he said, he said, Slim, I will make this real good to you. And then we did it. You know what I'm talking about? That's what he said. Was it good to you? And I said, compared to what? He said, did you have an organism? That's just that me and my friends would be having. We decided to start this new group of which I'm an international chairperson and the group is called Stop in the Name of Love. That stands for single teenagers oppressed by pregnancy. T-shirts, stop watches, stop class. We got a thing you can put in the back of your car and go like this. We're going to do things that I've been through and they can learn from my experiences, right? So, you know, if y'all want to join the group, just see me after school, all right? Central.


I'm not here as a cheerleader today. I feel more like an Old Testament prophet. So I'm going to give it to you fairly straight. And there won't be a lot of slides. Innovation, adaptation, transformation, capabilities based, net-centric, cross-domain synergy, our latest big bumper sticker. Everyone here today has heard these words before. They've gone in and out of vogue over the years. And over those years, vast amounts of resources have been spent in pursuit of achieving each one. At the same time, literally thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of man-hours have also been spent figuring out how to package what an organization is already doing to demonstrate it supports one of those concepts. Most of what I have seen in my career regarding innovation in our Navy has been activity-driven, not purpose-driven. More focused on getting a program through another step in the process than solving real problems. The reason why I wanted to have this conference and the reason I invited people here who might greatly respect, such as Professor Donald Chisholm, Dr. Whit Murray, to speak here with us today is because institutionally, we have been kidding ourselves. Our organizations and the processes we use are purposely designed to maintain course and speed, not to allow significant change. And please hold on to that thought because it's at the center of everything you all are about here these next couple of days. In his book, A Cognitive Challenge of War, Peter Paray wrote, to recognize innovation, whether in military institutions and how they function, or in their leaders and how they think is itself a change. Even then, society and soldiers will not find it easy to understand the new. Cultural preconceptions and institutional and individual self-interest may block understanding. Further cognitive barriers add to the difficulties. Today, each of you are here to learn and discuss various topics related to innovation in order to reinvigorate innovation in the maritime domain. Now, history may not exactly repeat itself, but as Abraham Lincoln said, or I believe Mark Twain, perhaps, does tend to rhyme. Victor Davis Hansen wrote in his book, Father of Us All, as a rule, military leaders usually begin wars confident in their existing weapons and technology. But if they are to finish them successfully, it is often only by radically changing designs or finding entirely new ones. Our choice is simple. We can either innovate today and solve the challenges we anticipate in the future, or be forced to rapidly, rapidly adapt in the middle of conflict. Now, we always have to adapt in the middle of conflict. That is certainly our history. But we can certainly get some of the big things right beforehand. That is not our history. And we have plenty of examples to choose from. Many of you here have heard me speak often of the extraordinary innovation that occurred during the interwar period, World War I and World War II, and what it meant for our Navy and our nation developing the air-backed carrier and coordinated airwind strike ops, amphibious operations, the concept of the fleet mobile logistics trade. For us in 2012, no less than our forebears in 1920, 1940, such innovation is absolutely essential to our future success in the maritime domain. We did not develop the Captain Magnafron that enabled airborne radar, that enabled us to hunt German U-boats in the black hole, that enabled us to turn the tide in the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942 to 1943. They were not done through holding conferences. Those who went before us in the 20s and the 30s had the focus, and they got it right. They developed such successful innovations because they had first properly defined their strategic challenges. For example, they understood that a conflict with Japan would result in the likelihood of a protracted conflict, which would require island hopping across the vast reaches of the Pacific, the result of the Washington Naval Treaties, where we were unable to garrison the islands in the Pacific. And indeed, treaties gave many of those island chains to the Japanese. We would have to fight our way across the Pacific. They then defined the operational requirements to execute that strategy. Working with the Marine Corps, our Navy developed the concepts, ships, and equipment necessary to carry out amphibious assaults. Despite the best efforts of the Bureau of Ships at the time, the Higgins boat developed from the oil industry in the Gulf made it through every piece of opposition to become the most single important, almost water-borne craft in World War II. The Navy spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to kill it and come up with a design of its own, an institutional imperative that could not accept innovation from the outside, no matter how positive that innovation was.  And they tried to give him a load of it. He persevered, performance proved in time of war, and the Higgins boat passed into history. Our forebears didn't try to adapt reality or physics to their vision, but adapted their vision to the reality they faced. This extraordinary period of interwar innovation was made possible, I believe, by a very strong connection between the Naval War College, the Office of the Chief Naval Operations, OPNAV, the fleet, and the all-powerful bureaus, all guided by the Navy's General Board. An interwar innovation was accomplished through establishing a virtuous cycle of Naval War College wargaming to develop a conceptual solution to the then current fleet problems. Then purposeful fleet battle experiments were performed to test the war game concept. And those lessons from the fleet battle problems were incorporated into the evolutionary design of the next generation of weapon systems, ships, aircraft, and operational doctrine. Therefore, to reinvigorate and increase innovation in our maritime domain, we must first define our strategic challenges correctly. We need to get the big things right. We can then identify, from those strategic challenges, the operational requirements, we must fulfill to meet those challenges. And then we can empower the right organizations and the right people in the wrong organizations to hypothesize, to develop, experiment, and learn to evolve our tactics, our platforms, and systems to succeed to meet those operational requirements. And we, leaders at every level, and followers at every level, need to read, think, and debate.  Too many of us, and I mean us in the fullest sense of the word, have outsourced our thinking to others. And as a result, I fear our institution that we know and love in the Navy is losing its ability to think deeply about the challenges we face today. That is the key challenge before us. This is not work solely for industry. This is not work we outsource. This is our work, and it is the most important work we will do.


Humanity has always looked up at the stars with nothing but a deep desire to travel to them. For decades, we have yearned to sail through the great cosmic ocean, unlocking mysteries of other worlds. But to conquer the cosmos, we first need a way to travel across it. And with modern space technology, we have a long way to go before this becomes a reality. One big obstacle between humans and their space empire is fueling the rocket to travel such fast distances. An intraplanetary trip will require a spacecraft to carry an extremely large fuel supply, which may not be a viable option in the long term. So what are our alternatives? Well, one is fusion-powered rockets, especially those powered by Helium-3. But then that raises the question, will Helium-3 meet the energy needs to fulfill our space colonizing dreams? To understand where we currently are, let's take a look at NASA's Artemis-1. Artemis-1 is the beginning of NASA's long-term goal to put a sustained human presence on the moon. The propulsion for Artemis-1 involves using over 750,000 gallons of ultra-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen. Combining the hydrogen and oxygen results in a violent combustion reaction, with temperatures north of 2700 degrees Celsius, this reaction produces nearly 8 million pounds of thrust, which is the equivalent weight of 16 Boeing 747 aircrafts. Quite impressive indeed. But how would Helium-3 stand up the competition if used as a fuel source? A Helium-3-powered rocket would work by fusing together deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, with Helium-3. A kilogram of Helium-3 in deuterium fuel can produce nearly 4.2 million times more energy than a kilogram of hydrogen. Because of this fuel efficiency, a Helium-3-powered spacecraft could carry significantly less mass than its traditional chemical propulsion-based counterparts, even when accounting for the weight of the Helium and deuterium, as well as the fusion engine. This weight reduction is really handy when we are talking about interplanetary trips. It gets even better. The products of Helium-3 and deuterium fusion are Helium-4 and Neutron, compared to other types of fusion reactions. Helium-3 and deuterium releases far less energy in the form of neutrons, making it less radioactive. Additionally, because most of the energy emitted from Helium-3-deuterium fusion is in the form of charged particles, such as Helium-4, an ion collector, or a similar apparatus, could be used to convert these particles into electrical energy, which could then be used to power certain components of the spacecraft. Approximately 60-70% of the potential electrical energy from this fusion is estimated to be usable. Now, in terms of thrust, fusion reactions such as Helium-3 and deuterium do indeed have a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than traditional chemical fuels like liquid, hydrogen, and oxygen. The thrust-to-weight ratio is the ratio of the thrust force of the spacecraft as it accelerates to the weight of the spacecraft itself. A higher thrust-to-weight ratio is more desirable. However, it is also worth mentioning that the exhaust velocity of fusion reactions is far greater than that which is provided by chemically powered means. This means that Helium-3 is far more efficient as a fuel source. But Helium-3 doesn't come without its drawbacks. For starters, Helium-3 and deuterium fusion is possible only under very high temperature conditions, and building an engine that can facilitate this fusion will cost a hefty amount. After all, we need a design that is an appropriate size and weight, and can supply the level of energy needed to facilitate Helium-3 deuterium fusion and withstand the resulting reactions as well. There's also the question of abundance. Helium-3 is very hard to come by here on Earth, and is primarily created through the radioactive decay of tritium, an isotope of hydrogen which can be found in nuclear warheads. However, Helium-3 is available in large quantities on the moon in the lunar regolith, as discussed in our previous Helium-3 video. Also, the gas giants of our solar system contain an abundance of deuterium in Helium-3. So, if we ever need to refuel on interplanetary expeditions, we could potentially count on our cosmic neighbors to pitch in. Of course, the technology required to mine from these gas giants is out of reach currently, and may not be available until a couple of decades or even centuries from now. So, how exactly are we going to build a fusion-powered rocket that can withstand the extreme conditions of fusion and fulfill our interplanetary dreams while not draining our wallet? Such a feat is something which requires its own separate video, which is why you should stay tuned for the next installment in the Helium-3 series, where we examine how it could be possible to create the technological marvels to make our dreams of spreading humanity amongst the stars and beyond possible. In the meantime, be sure to explore more wonders of the cosmos here on The Science Universe, and as always, stay tuned for more science videos.


The Neopixel 332 silicone bead LED strip. It is a half meter, so there's 166, I believe, LEDs in there, and it is gorgeous. So this is individually addressable Neopixel LEDs. I've plugged it into a QDPI RP2040 with a little battery BFF and a little lipo battery. And as you can see here, you get a really nice, nearly solid display. You can see as they dim there, they will start to reveal the trick. But at more moderate brightness levels, and this is only at, I think, 0.35 on brightness, it almost looks like a continuous neon strip, except it's got this individually addressable RGB effect to it, which is really cool. That is my product pick of the week. It is the Neopixel 332 silicone bead half meter LED strip.


If you're looking to make learning more visible, active, and social, you can enable Hypothesis as a tool in your assignments in Canvas. I will go ahead and walk you through how to create a Hypothesis-enabled assignment. Just note, using the Hypothesis app within assignments allows some additional functionality over creating module items. For example, instructors can assess student work and speak greater, assign their reading to a particular Canvas group, and also set due dates and dates of availability for the assignment. Just like you would create any other assignment in Canvas, you will go ahead and navigate to the desired course, and then select the Assignments page, and select Add Assignment. The first thing I'll do is go ahead and name my assignment. And then the important part is scrolling down to the submission type. I want to make sure that I have external tool selected. Then I will select Find, and I will select Hypothesis. Note that in your instance, you should only have one Hypothesis tool available. Then I have the option to enter a URL of a web page or PDF. I can select a PDF from Canvas, or I can select a PDF from Google. For this example, I'm going to go ahead and enter a URL of a publicly available website. I grab that URL, enter it here, and hit submit, and then select. And then the last step will be to go ahead, and I can either choose to just save it, or in this case for this example, I'm going to go ahead and save and publish it. One thing to note is that I do recommend that you enable the setting here to load this tool in a new tab. It will just make it much easier to view the assignment and the annotation sidebar. Then I have created my assignment, and I can go ahead and select Load to open the assignment in a new window. And you will now see that the annotation sidebar has been enabled here on the right, and this document is ready for you and your students to annotate. If you would like to learn about adding multimedia to annotations, feel free to check out our article about adding links, images, and videos to your annotations.


Some of Creality's new printers are coming with the Sprite Hot End. The best part about them is they're super simple to swap if you have any issues or if you want to toss another one say with a different nozzle size on it between prints. Today I'm going to show you how to swap that Sprite Hot End and how easy it is. My name's Jim and this is the Edge of Tech. Now the Sprite Hot End came in two different flavors, Non-Pro and Pro. The big difference between these is that the Non-Pro has a PTFE tube that goes all the way down into the nozzle and the Pro model like we're going to talk about today actually has an all-metal hot end. That's cool and all but I think the best part about these is actually how easy they are to swap on these machines. But why would you need to swap it? You can do this if you wanted a couple different hot ends with different nozzle sizes and you just wanted to be able to swap them quickly between prints. Say you're printing with a .4, the next print you want to use a .8 nozzle. All you have to do is remove the bolts, drop the new one on, put the bolts back in and rock and roll. You could just have an extra one around in case the nozzle jams or fails or something like that so you could just toss the new one on and then fix the old one while the printer continues to print. This allows for less downtime on your printer. Another reason is that some people may want to have the Non-Pro or the PTFE lined and the Pro all-metal and swap between them depending on what filament they use. I know a lot of people who prefer PTFE lined hot ends when they're printing strictly PLA but would love to go to something all-metal when they go to the higher temp filaments. So that's some reasons why people may want to swap out the Sprite hot end or have a spare on hand. Enough talking about it. I think we should just do it. Let's go. So the first thing you want to do is just make sure you have no filament in your hot end. If there is, heat it up and pull the filament out. That's the first thing. The next thing you want to do is flip these two clips right here and pull out your hot end cable and set that aside. So the next thing you want to do is remove the four bolts that are holding the Sprite hot end in. You can find them right here along the side of the hot end. There's one bolt that you don't have to remove and that is the one up in the gray part right here. From there we just lift and pull the whole hot end right off of the carriage.

And also if you're not subscribed I humbly ask if you could hit that subscribe button. It's free and it really helps the channel out. Not back to it. Now that you have the Sprite hot end off you need to move over the CR touch if the CR touch didn't come on the new one. You can get them with and without the CR touches on them and you can also buy one separate if you already have one that doesn't have it. To do this all you have to do is pull the little cable and remove these two screws and that CR touch will come off. And then on the new one all you have to do is put the two screws back in and push that cable in and you're done. The CR touch is now moved over. Once that's done put the Sprite hot end back on the carriage.  So that's it. You're done. You've officially removed and replaced your Sprite hot end and this is the same across any of the printers that use this specific hot end. At this point I would probably re-level and reset your Z just in case anything moved in there. It's the same thing it shouldn't have but you always want to be safe. So go through the leveling reset your Z offset and you'll be good to go. You noticed we did talk about swapping that CR touch when we went through it. I did mention that you could actually pick up a spare and put it on your hot end ahead of time and that would get you going. The other benefit of this is that if you were to crash the CR touch into something and break it something went wrong with it. It is super easy to swap out as you just saw it's one little cable into screws and you can get these separate. So that's another cool thing about the Sprite hot end. They make it super easy to swap that CR touch out as well. Let me know in the description if you think it's useful to be able to swap out a hot end like this as easy and fast as this is. Really without this video it's five minutes or less. It is so fast to do this and if you find it beneficial I like to hear that too. The kit that I used is actually to replace a printer that didn't have the Sprite extruder on it. So it comes with the carriage and the cable and the extruder etc. I'll put this in the link in the description along with the CR touch and also I'll put the links for the Sprite hot ends so you don't get the carriage and all the extra stuff too. But this is cool because I can swap it into a printer that doesn't have the Sprite and make that work too.
