colleagues in the name of the Swiss Archaeological School in Greece. I'd like to welcome you to the session Sanctuary of Ubia Island Greece and its colonies recent excavations and studies. I'd like to welcome you also in Bern for those coming from far away. I'm sorry for the bad Swiss weather or our Greek guests that are not used but welcome anyway. This is the reason I think one thing first as you can see there are some annual reports of the Swiss Archaeological School here on the first table you can take them after if you like and second I will sit down that everyone can see the PowerPoint. So with the recent discoveries and studies concerning these sanctuaries for example the work done recently at Plakkarinia Caristos the study of the Sanctuary of Apollon in Sarrakes or the Sanctuary of Athena in Eretria. The discovery of the Sanctuary of Apollon Celinaeos Adrovies and last but not least the discovery of the Sanctuary of Artemis Amorizia in Amoritos are enough indications that to say that the time is ready now to sit together to have an exchange of results and problems and to start a general discussion about the situation of the Ubea sanctuaries. The aim of my introduction on the extra urban sanctuaries of Ubea is not to present you some recent research about this topic but to resume what we know actually about the sanctuaries to put some questions and to define some points of research that should be done in the future. Ubea is the sixth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, the second largest of Greece after Crete. The Greek geographer Strabo mentioned that the distance from the Cup Canaion in the north to Geraisdos in the south is about 1200 stadia and that its breadth is irregular and generally only 150 stadia. This corresponds in fact at the length of 180 kilometers and the breadth of between 6 and 50 kilometers. The total surface of the island is 3661 kilometers. On such a big surface we expect also a big number of archeological sites of different periods, not only settlements but also some important extra urban sanctuaries. Looking at the map of Ubea in the fourth century, sorry, in the fourth century before Christ, we recognized that the island was divided at that time in four major territories, the so-called Chorae. In the north we find the city of Histiaia in the center of the two largest territories of Calquis and Eretia and in the south of the city of Caristos. The fronches between the different city territories are hypothetical with maybe the exception of the fronche between the core of Eretria and Caristos which must lie as I supposed in an article in 2002 of the southern slope of the Ios Nicolaus hill behind Stira or a Silvian fascia supposed in the 21st volume of the Seri Eretria published in 2012, some kilometers more in the south in the area of the Filagra Hill opposite the town of Marmaris. Looking now at the different sanctuaries inside these white territories, we see that every city territory controlled minimum one but mostly two or even three extra urban sanctuaries from that much what we know. The most important source on the existence of the sanctuaries is the geographer Strabo which mentioned in his 10th book the sanctuaries of Apollon Selinuntius in Orobia, the sanctuary of Apollon Marmarinos at Marmarion, the sanctuary of Poseidon in Gerastos, the sanctuary of Zeus Kenaios, the sanctuary of Apollon at Tammuna, the sanctuary of Artemis Amarisia in Amarintos and the sanctuary of Poseidon in Aigai. Not mentioned by Strabo is the sanctuary of Artemis Poseiola in the core of Histiaia. Informations about this sanctuary are either found in works of Plutarch or from inscriptions. A help for the knowledge of these sanctuaries could also be the much later source of Stefanos of Pizantion which mentioned the Artemisian in Amarintos and the sanctuary of Poseidon in Gerastos, the polis of Artemision, the mount Cotylaion which was dedicated to Artemis and the mount Ochre near Gerastos which was dedicated to Zeus and Hera. I have not the time here to discuss all the written sources concerning the Euboean sanctuaries. These are collected in the dissertation of Manuel Arianna Perez, an important work which is unfortunately not published yet. I will also not discuss here the sanctuaries of Zarages, Plakkari and Karababa which are going to be presented by Athenachatsi Dimitriou and Jan Paul Krielat. Nor the recently discovered sanctuary of Artemis Amarisia which will be presented by Tobias Grapp. I like just to put some lights on the major extra burn sanctuaries in order to give some basis for future research. The main deities worshipped in the extra burn sanctuaries of Euboea island are certainly Apollon as you can see and his sister Artemis followed by Zeus and Poseidon. Apollon is present also in an important Intramura sanctuary, for example in Euregia, in the famous sanctuary of Apollon Daphne Thoros. Other deities are certainly also worshipped inside the Euboean polis but we can not end in discussion as we were dealing here only with the extra open sanctuaries. I will start my paper with two major sanctuaries in the north of the island controlled by the city of Istiaia, the sanctuary of Zeus Kenaion and the sanctuary of Artemis Poseidon. For the sanctuary of Zeus Cap Kenaion we have inscriptions and written sources. Written sources I just put one here, Sophocles Drachines which says that in Euboea there is a promontory, the Cap Kenaion there he dedicate altars and sacred wood to Zeus Patros. So it's a place where we have a meat, very important meat of Heracles which died there with the gift from his wife Deonera. Another source is the inscription found in Anovatia near Amarintos. It's the treaty between Istiaia and Eretria dated about 400 B.C. In this treaty we can read that as usual there are two examples of a treaty and one has to be exposed in Amarintos in Toi Iehoi in the sanctuary and the other one from Istiaia in the Kenaioi. This is very important because it shows us that the sanctuary of Zeus at Cap Kenaion was one of the most important sanctuaries of the city of Istiaia where they exposed these inscriptions, treaties and other kind of inscriptions. From the archaeological side there was some say excavations but old excavations from Papadakis and Papavisiliu. Today I don't know I've been there 20 years ago so we one could see some stones again but I don't know how it is today but I think this is a place where we can, where we should also in the future invest to make some investigations. The other sanctuary of Artemis Brazil in the same Korra is known as I told you from sources of Blutat and others but there is one very important inscription. It is this inscription found on a hill called Ios Jorgos and this is an inscription with names and all these people main which were named on this inscription they helped to renovate the sanctuary of Artemis and also the Agalma it means the statue of Kalt and this is a very inscript very important inscription because first it's we have the name of the sanctuary this here are these Artemis, these Ossiolias and we have also the name of the people mentioned there with the demos from where they are so we have an idea of the different demo in the different places inside the Korra of Istiaia. Lolling in the 19th century was the first and the only one who made excavations at this place as you can see it's at Ios Jorgos where it's certainly at the Mision written this is in a region called Gorbatzi and Gorbatzi was the territory the owner of the territory was a man from Switzerland from Bern, Udal von Wilde. He owned this all this territory in the 19th century and he was also in contact with Lolling and Lolling made some excavations some trenches but he found apart from some architectural elements he found most of his walls dated in Byzantine or Roman times so we have nothing clear about the existence of a sanctuary from the classical and Hellenistic times at this place and we have also to say that maybe the place on top of this small hill where today is the small church of Ios Jorgos is maybe not the idle place for an Artemision because the sanctuaries of Artemis are when you look around the gulf of Euboea we can take Browron, we can take Halei, we can take Aulis the Artemision for Maramarin does it's usually just at the shore of the beach so if Penny Knöpfler he supposed that maybe the Artemision was not at the place where Lolling was looking for but at the place called Palio Casto so it's the second one that I have put here on the slide. Now we go for the third house and we had recently a very important discovery concerning the oracle sanctuary of Apollon Selinaios or Selinuntius as we know from Strabo I put the text here that there is in Europia Sanctuary Mantellon to Selinuntius Apollonus and now the research made in 2000 about 2001 showed at a place called Ios Taxiaches that there are some walls and in first line they found some fragments of inscriptions the first one the smaller fragment is mentioned mentions the city of Istiaia as you can see and here Eia so it must be in connection with the sanctuary and the second one mentions Apolloni do Selinaioi so you see there is a difference between the text of Strabo on this inscription and we think maybe the inscription is right and there was maybe some mistake in the text of Strabo not in the text but in the transcription a late transcription of the text of Strabo the name could come maybe as Manuel Ariona supposed from a river or from the Selino from the plant of Selino so maybe it is called the sanctuary of Apollon Selinaios and not Selinuntius and so as you can see we are here at the beginning also of a new discovery and it needs certainly more research to do then we are in the core of Eretria the sanctuary of Apollon at Taminae which Strabo also mentioned and saying in the Eretrian territory there was a city Taminae sacred sacred to Apollon founded as they say by Admetos and this was a big problem long time because Admetos is a hero known from Thessaly and not from Euboea but recently in the Swiss excavations in the Roman bosses from Eretria we found an inscription or some fragments of an inscription where it's we can read Polymarchia's Phyllis Admetis so there was a phile in the Chora of Eretria called Admetis and Knepflos thinks that this is the phile connected with the polis of Taminae and so polis that he think was in the region of Ablonarion and in fact all the excavations made in the 1940s by Constantinus and Travers they brought to light some architectural elements that could be from a temple the question here is is the sanctuary of Apollon at Taminae intra muros or an extra muros sanctuary we don't know it in fact but we have some ideas that in the inscription 990 from the inscription Strakas 12 we can read that there were some there is some like a sacred sacred wood some boscon sheep herds and other animals in this region so as also Manuel I suppose maybe a sacred wood so it would be an argument to say it is outside of the town and as Denik Knepflot was also saying that as we know from Eismines for example there must be a hippodrome there and from other inscriptions we know that there was some competitions different kind we can read hippoes horses we can also read music kittarotas etc there's even a parten on kim non you don't know if it's really a competition for young women but what I like to say so there are some sportive competitions around the festivities in honor to Apollon and they are certainly made outside of the town so that we can think that maybe the hippodrome and also these these places where they made competitions was outside of the town Knepflot he thinks that the polis of Tamini has to be situated on the hill Paleo Castri then the last one is the sanctuary of Poseidon in Geraisdors where we have all sort of text from Strabo's and other a lot of other texts that mentioned this sanctuary I think here we are sure that this sanctuary has to be placed in in the Bay of Geraisdors indicated here on the map map near Caristos we have here picture of the bay there were also found some inscriptions and I mentioned just one and also walls and other things I mentioned only one inscription the famous Kimolian Dekas decree found in Geraisdors and this is a decree where made by the island of Kimolos and there was on this island some legal problems that they could not resolve by themselves so they asked the king Antigonus we don't know which one those are not others but in any way it's in the third century before Christ and Antigonus sent a church from a neutral church from the town of Caristos he solved this problem and he got some honors from the Kimolians and also a decree also in this case in two exemplars one has to put was put in the exposed in the sanctuary of Athena and Kimolos and the other one in the sanctuary of Poseidon in Geraisdors just one thing that is interesting that in Geraisdors is also mentioned a sanctuary of Artemis Polosia in connection with a monument offered by Agamemnon a ship monument or a ship of marble and we don't know if this sanctuary of Artemis Polosia was inside the sanctuary of Poseidon or if it was sanctuary apart so there are other questions here to put on this sanctuary so to resume yes we could also mention Platanistos we could also mention the Dracospita on the Mount Ochi in connection maybe with the cult of Hera and so we can mention other places but I think from the most the biggest one and the most important one we can say that in fact we have two are certainly not located the sanctuary of Artemis Poseidon and the other one in Marmary from Apollo Marmarinos where we have not a lot of sources then we have some sanctuaries where which need further research in Kapkanion the newly discovered sanctuary of Apollo and Celinaeus but also Taminae and Geraisdors and the only one and this is Tobias Krapf who will present it which is now the most known of all this sanctuary is the Artemis Amarisia Sanctuary in Amarintos I didn't speak about Aegai the sanctuary of Poseidon and Aegis because there's a lot of other problems in the sources it's mentioned that there is a palace of Poseidon underwater but in other sources they say it's maybe in the region of Limni so near the Apollo and Celinaeus Sanctuary Don Keller I suppose that it could be in Ahampoli so in the south of Evia so there are different problems connected with the sanctuary so that I don't like to enter in question for this I thank you for your attention and as I told you you can take the reports the annual reports from here and we will continue with the second keynote from Sandrin Ueber from gestures to traces you beings in the sanctuaries at home and along the sea seals

Definitely kind of check the market Especially if it's a harder to find vintage item people will still buy it this sold for $11 and 24 cents plus shipping The next item are these Sylvania family's calico critters baby lambs these came from an estate So I got a big lot of these in a bag and I paid one price for all of them I had about 25 cents in this by the time I broke it all down So this for a best offer of $15 and the buyer was all in for 21 This is a lot of hot wheels matchbox cars I basically just take a bunch of cars throw them in a medium flat rate box Put them up on eBay cross post them to Mercari I use list perfectly if you want to know more about that There's a link down in the description that shows you how to do it if you want to try list perfectly You can get 30% off your first month with coupon referral code Bolo buddies all one word So I do not put these on Poshmark because they weigh more than 10 pounds I believe so this is more of a eBay Mercari thing They actually do pretty good on Mercari I call these like my toy boxes or my toy lots And it's basically for people that are looking to buy a box of toys for their child to go through This is not probably for collectors. I mean, I suppose I could have missed something because I don't know anything about these cars, but um, I Don't know they're more of a toy box. I'm not selling to the collector I sold this for a best offer of $34 plus shipping the buyer was all in for 54 17 I pick these up at like I get them in mystery boxes from the thrift store I also pick them up in big bulk buys at like garage sales and stuff like that. So I'm a bundler I'd like to bundle items at sales This next item is a hat. It is a vintage Riverside coca-cola hat pick this up at a garage sale I bought a whole bunch of hats from the guy.

Welcome back everyone. What I want to do in this video is use both the trapezoidal rule and the midpoint rule to approximate the area under, well, to approximate the integral from one to two of the function one over x dx. That is, we want to find the area under the curve one over x from one to two here. And with the trapezoidal midpoint rule, we're going to use five subdivisions. This is mostly just to estimate, just to show you the method, and we're not honestly worried about being too precise in practice, one might need a much larger number of steps to do that. So for the trapezoidal rule, remember, if we're calculating T five, what we need to do is we need to calculate delta x over two times f of x not plus two times f of x one.  And then finally, we get f of x five. So this is what we need to compute. So the first thing to consider are what are our x values here. So if we take our x axis, we think of it like this right here. x zero is always going to be the lower bound that is this number on the bottom side of the interval. So we're going to get a one right here. The upper bound is going to be two, which is our B value. Be aware that this is this is what we mean here by x zero. Here's what we mean by x five. So we have an x one that we need to do x two, x three, and x four. All right, now to find more specific values here, we need to calculate our delta x. So recall that delta x delta x is supposed to be the last number minus the first number divided by how many subdivisions we want. So we have one fifth or point two, if you prefer a decimal here. And so what this tells us is that x one will just be point two plus one. So one point two, we get one point four, one point six, one point eight for for x four and then two for x five there. So those are going to be our x values there. And so putting these all in here, we're going to take point two divided by two. That's the first part. Don't forget to divide by two. Then we need to take the function in here, our function f of x is the reciprocal function one over x the function we're integrating. So we need to take here one over one, that's of course a one, we need to take two times one over one point two, plus two times one over one point four, plus two times one over one point six. And then two times one over one point eight, and then make sure you take only one times one over two, which is their one half. And so notice here that none of these calculations are necessarily too difficult. I mean, we have to divide something like one over one point six. Although it's doable, we can do it by hand. It can go a little bit tedious feel free to use a calculator in these calculations please don't be a hero. The arithmetic it's very tedious, but we do want to be accurate so use a character to help you do one point, one over one point two and one over one point four etc right. Multiply these things out at them together. I'm just going to kind of, I'm just going to kind of just summarize what this turns out to be in the end this calculation. Let me double check will be approximately 0.695635. Like so so this is the estimate get when we put those numbers together. And so this is the estimate given to us from the trapezoidal rule. Now if we switch things up a little bit and we switch it to the midpoint rule, I want to keep the trapezoidal rule on the screen here. The midpoint rule is going to be very similar. We're going to take delta x, and we have to multiply this by f of x one bar, plus f of x two bar, plus f of x three bar, plus f of x four bar, plus f of x five bar, like so. Now and the delta x is going to be identical than it was before is the exact same delta x. So we're going to get 1.2 there, excuse me. And so what are our x i bars this is giving the midpoint between them so between x one x one and x zero one and 1.2 you're going to go 1.1 that's our first one there between 1.2 and 1.4 you give 1.3 between 1.4 1.5 1.6 you get 1.5 between 1.6 and 1.8 you get 1.7 and then the last midpoint would be 1.9. And so those are what we're going to do here we're going to do one over 1.1 evaluate the function 1.1 plus one over 1.3 plus one over 1.5 plus one over 1.7 and then finally oops one over 1.9 like so. So the midpoint rule although it takes a little bit harder to find the midpoints it's a fairly clean calculation comparison again you should calculate to help you with things like one over 1.1 one over 1.3 etc. But when you add those together and times it by the points two you are going to end up with approximately this is our answer 0.691908 whoops 08 like so. So you can see that the two answers are fairly close and if you look at the first two decimal places we both get a 0.69 one round this one wants to course round up to 0.70 this one would round down to 0.69. So we're about accurate to two decimal places right here and that was that was easily done with only five subdivisions to our to our interval there. Now the reason we chose this example is because this is actually an integral that we know how to compute because after all the anti derivative one over X is the natural log of X as we go from one to two. And so this is going to be the natural log of two minus the natural log of one but I want to remind you that the natural log of one is actually just zero. So the true area under the curve is going to be the natural log of two. And if we were to consult a calculator. What is our approximation for the square root of two. We're going to get point zero point 693147. And so this right here actually represents the area under the curve while the other ones were estimates and we calculate the natural log of two using a different technique than what we see right here. And so I want to compare how good were these techniques right here. So if we calculate the error, the error of the trapezoid rule t five we'll just to denote this as e sub t for the most part. The error of the trapezoid rule. This is going to be the difference between the true value, which was the natural log of two. Minus a little back up, we'll write this as the integral from one to two of one over x dx. So we take the total value, the true value minus t five. And we're going to take the difference inside absolute values because we're we might not know whether t five is bigger or smaller and we can do it here. And if you take the value we had from before, which was point 695635 and you subtract that from the true value of the natural value, you get up, you get approximately 0.002488. And so that's an S. Well, this is this measures how good our estimate was our estimate I said it was accurate to do decimal places it's almost accurate to three right to be three decimal places two one zero zero one right there so we're pretty close there. On the other hand, if we compare the midpoint rule so the error, the error of m five, we'll call that em for short. And so same basic idea we're going to take the absolute value of the integral one to two of one over x dx minus from it in five. So our estimate before the midpoint rule calculated the error of the curve as point 691908 subtract that from the point 693147 that the calculator gave us, and this would give us an error point 001239. We didn't see that in this situation the midpoint rule did better than the estimate we got from the trapezoid rule. And in fact it did about twice as it was twice as good, because our error is about half of what we had the error from the from the trapezoid rule as well. And so we see in this we see in this example one could calculate the well we could see here that one could calculate the this error, because we know how to calculate the integral directly using the final term of calculus. This might seem a little bit weird it's like well why in the world, would we estimate the error, if we can actually calculate the true area in practice we generally won't be able to do that and we'll talk about that a little bit more in the next video. But to finish up this video I do want to mention to us that well I included the error here to show you how comparatively they work here and we're going to see that in on average the midpoint rule is actually twice as accurate as the trapezoid rule. But these calculations as we saw they involve a lot of arithmetic, it's not necessarily hard calculations, just long tedious calculations where precision is desirable here. So feel free to use technology to help you with this use your use your calculators a scientific calculator sufficient. But for the sake of your homework and quizzes if you want to feel free to use computer software to help you out here because no living creatures should be expected to do these tedious calculations that you're going to see in the homework. So I'm actually provided some links in this lecture video see the description below to some websites that offer free online Riemann some calculators and the one I'm going to show you can be found at emathhelp.net.  Just the other hand though is this this this website. It's ad based and the ads are extremely annoying. You're not going to see them as in this video because my ad blockers are superb. But without them you're going to be hit with very annoying ads all the time. So if we want to repeat this exercise we could type in our function so enter a function F we type in one over X. We want to go from one to two and we want five subdivisions so into the data right there. Then you have to choose a type and we see the four types of going about the left end points the right end points the midpoint rule and the trapezoid rule. If we hit the trapezoid rule. And then hit calculate to see the answer if this box here the show steps box is checked. That means that it'll show you all of the work necessary to do this one this can be a very useful thing for students as they're learning about these Riemann some approximations. Now I do apologize that on this screen the font is a little bit small there's not a whole lot I can do about that. Of course with your on your web browser you can enlarge this if it's too small for you. So it proceeds to explain you know what we're trying to calculate we want to calculate the integral from one to two of one over X DX. We're going to do it using five rectangles using the trapezoid rule. It gives you a quick reminder of what the trapezoid rule is it tells you the data you've done. And so now notice what we have to do we have to do one times X F of X zero which was one two times F of X one, which was it will see is going to be five over three, or it gives the decimal approximation. We're going to do two over F of X two to over two of F of X three, two of F of X four and then one times F of X five and has all those calculations and adds those together at the very end it spits out the final answer. What you can see highlighted right here point 695634 on the answer I wrote earlier on the screen was just what I rounded this estimate right here we can get much more precise if we wanted to. The show works it's pretty nice and again it shows all the steps you can repeat the process by unclicking the show the steps part. And then when you calculate it'll just give you the answer if you don't want all the extra fluff. But again I do like how you can see the steps in case you want to. You know to help you learn as a student right it's not just about the answer we want to understand how we got that answer. I broke the computer so we'll go back. It works it works pretty well you can do it for the point rule as well but like I said, apparently my internet just crashed so we're not going to see the midpoint rule but it'll give you an answer similar to what we saw before.


All right, everybody, a new day is here. We're about to get going. We got pretty much the same thing to do today that we had yesterday. We've got another load out of too long. I think that's my only load for today though, but you never know. The afternoon might bring something up. I got new headsets for my phone. These are Bose QuietComfort headsets. I control them by tapping them like that. While they're in, they give me full awareness of everything that's around me. It's sort of like a hearing aid. I can hear everything that's going on. It's also a phone. So instead of like wearing my big headpiece, that's not my little phone piece. My little Bose. It was my Christmas present from the wife. So that way while I'm driving, I just have one ear in. And if I get any phone calls, all I gotta do is just double tap my headset and it picks up the call for me, hands free.    Everywhere they go, you can always tell they're a super trucker because they got their big headset on, walking into the bathroom, walking into the shower. I don't even know if they take it off the shower or not, cause when they come out of the shower room, they're still wearing it. They put it back on, they take it everywhere. I always thought that was funny, but to each their own, if that's your thing, that's your thing. This is a little bit more of a sleek design I think. It's got a little microphone in there too. Yeah, give them a shot. I'm excited to use them. What's interesting about these things is when I take this one out of this ear, it turns off and then I can just put it in a little charging case over here. And it automatically starts charging and they automatically know that this is the only one that's in my ear. So when I get calls, I'll be forwarded to this earpiece while I'm driving. If I was like a left-eared person, I don't know why I always hold the phone up to this ear. But if I was a left-eared person, I could put it in this ear and then it would automatically know to send the calls and the audio to that ear and then the other one would be off and I could, huh, technology, right? Wow. Dragon Josh, officially with it. These aren't cheap either. They were a pretty expensive gift that she got for me. She got a pair for Christmas herself and she liked them and she got them a bit early and she liked them so much that she wanted to get me the same set for Christmas, except hers are gray, I think, and mine are black so we can tell them apart so that we don't trade ear-cooties and get them mixed up. So that's what you gotta worry about. My mask is frozen to my beard. My beard is here to keep my face warm but now it's frozen to my mask.  So I'm just gonna turn the vents to me here. All right. Let me go. Let me go. Oh, I think it's going. Yeah! Ho-ho! Oh boy, I've been struggling with that for like five minutes already until I realized, hey, I should vlog this. This is funny. So today ended up being a little bit of a nightmare. Didn't even vlog. I didn't have time to vlog anything. It was straight up working outside all day for the most part. I came in to warm up now and then. Usually it's an easy pickup here but today it's more intricate, detailed work. I don't know how to explain it. I'll have to show you when we get to the yard. I'll have to go check on it then anyways. All kinds of different things stacked up in there. We had to make sure that it was stacked up safely that it wouldn't slide, it wouldn't fall, then I'd tie it down. Good thing the shipper here is an awesome guy. He's a good friend of mine. Yeah, at least I consider him a good friend of mine. He's really, really good to deal with it. It's really nice when you go to regular shippers that you get along with. Well, he's a good guy and he's helping me out a lot and we had to rearrange some stuff and look at all this ice on here. It's all from my breath. Yeah, I'm just gonna put that up there and let that dry off. Oh boy. I'm not complaining though. I'm not saying that it wasn't fun. I had a fun day. It was a really fun day. But there's just a lot of work and my butt is very cold. I can't feel my butt. So there's that. I know I'm sitting on the seat right now but I can't feel that I'm sitting on the seat. And on top of all of that, when I climbed in here the truck needed to do a regen.  So those of you who don't drive a truck, regen is pretty much, to put it simply, there's soot that gets built up in the exhaust system from idling for a while. You gotta catch that the truck off here otherwise it might not be able to start it again. It's that cold outside. So while the truck idles here, it gathers all of that soot so that that I guess doesn't go into the atmosphere. I don't know. I don't know why it does it. It's a new technology in trucks that came in about five, 10 years ago and it helps to run cleaner. But when that soot filter gets full, you gotta do a regen, which pretty much jacks up the idle here. We're at what, 1,100 RPM. And all this thing's dirty. I apologize. It's not my truck. Not my truck. But it raises up the RPM and it burns that soot off of the filter. So I don't know if it's trying to collect it from not going into the atmosphere. I don't know why it just burns it off and shoots it out anyway. I don't know. My lips are very dry too. Did I bring chapstick? Did I bring chapstick? Come on. Come on, did I? Yes! Thank you, Josh of the past for thinking of Josh of today. This thing's sold, I bet. My lips are just about to crack open. Oh yeah, here we go. I'm gonna be beautiful. Uh-huh. Look at that. Oh. Trucker makeup tutorial right here. Uh-huh. So yeah, I'm just waiting for this regen to complete now.  And then we'll head back to the yard. Time is now 3.45, I believe. Yeah, nope, 3.30. It takes an hour to get back. So if I left right now, it'd be 4.30. When I got back, but I also want a fuel on the way back. I can fuel here in too long too. Just so that the truck is parked with reasonably full tanks of fuel over the weekend. Because it's gonna be so cold. Yeah, I'm sorry, I couldn't really tell much of the story of the adventure today. I would've probably dropped the camera because I couldn't feel my hands for most of the day. You'll just have to trust me. I'll show you it when we get to the yard. It's a bit of a, you know what? You know what? Let's just do it now. Let's go show you it right now. I'll put my shoes back on. Let's get out there. I gotta wait for the regen to finish anyways. Brought my shoes on. You better love me.  Okay? I gotta, I have to give context to what I'm talking about here. My butt's so cold, it actually feels hot. That's not a good sign, but hey, at least it doesn't feel cold anymore. Okay. All right. Okay. So I'll come this up here one second. One second, probably gonna need you guys. Okay. All right, so that's what we did today. And there's lots more behind that yet, but that one there is what was the most difficult. We had to nail it all together so that it stuck together, for sure, for sure. Then I had to tie it down and then we realized when I tied it down, we didn't like the way it was stacked.  But hey, it's all balanced out. The weight is distributed reasonably evenly and at the back, there's just a bunch of little stuff at the back there, which took a lot of straps. I took some time and just organizing all this. Like it may look like this was simple. No, this is a complex project. And we put it together, took most all day. And it's headed all the way down to Houston, Texas in the USA. So Houston, I hope you appreciate us today. That's a lot of work for you. Oh boy, it'll be down there soon. But don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about the cold anymore. Okay, we did that at the beginning of winter. Then our body, what's the word? I always told, I called it climatizing. That's not the word, is it? Is it acclimate? My body acclimated? I don't know. I don't know, I'm not a scientist. I don't know all these big fancy words. My body's used to the cold now. So yeah, I'm saying my butt's cold and I can't feel it, but it was part of the job. I had a fun day today, though. It was fun tying this all down. It was a challenge. It wasn't an easy day. So like I said the other day, I like to go home feeling like I got something accomplished. But I got something done that I'm proud of. I definitely have that feeling today. When I get home, I'm gonna be able to sit on the couch and enjoy my weekend. I know that we had a good Friday today that we got a lot of stuff done. It wasn't the best weather, but we got it done anyways. Kinda wish I was taking it to Houston though I'm not gonna lie. But man, my body's so used to the cold now. If I went down to Houston, I'd probably be sweating buckets day and night. That's probably the best that I just stay up here for now. I'll come visit texts again soon one day, don't worry. Don't worry about it. Maybe in my summertime, I don't know. I'm gonna take a long load eventually, but since not to talk about this all the time, but our IVF is in the first quarter of 2022. So the first quarter, I'm gonna have to stick very close to home anyway. So I don't even know if I'll be doing many overnight if they need me to, I will, as long as it doesn't conflict with our doctor's appointments. Still waiting for the regen. Usually this takes about a half hour. I've had them take almost an hour before. I don't know if she keeps doing her thing until she's done doing her thing. I don't know what she's doing. I don't know, trucks. This is why I like the old trucks better. The old Pete doesn't need to do this. This is a new truck problem. We're at our favorite intersection. I had one chance right as I was rolling up to the intersection. If I would have just blown the stop sign and gone straight through, it would have been perfect, but I chose not to blow the stop sign and stop. So now I gotta wait for another opening. It would have worked out perfect. It was a clear space on both sides just as I was rolling up, but yeah, you won't find me rolling through. So not even rolling through. I wouldn't have been able to stop. I've seen people do that before here. There's an opening, they just give her, but I'm too nice. Also, you're not supposed to drive through stop signs. It's not a good idea and I don't recommend it, okay? There, see, here's another opening. See, all I have to do is wait like two minutes. Look at this, I'm gonna take my time. Gotta be careful when you're driving in winter time. Sometimes the tracks that are on the pavement, you know, in the snow, sometimes they don't follow the lanes. You gotta keep an eye out for the actual white lines. You gotta stay in your lane. You see, like here, you see how most traffic has been wandering into that lane? Make sure you follow the painted lines on the road and not the tracks in the snow, like here again. It's usually around the corners too, because people seem to naturally cut the corners. I'd like to get back in that lane, my friend, so if you'd like to pass me, please pass. Why you decided to pass on that side and pass so slowly, yeah? Look at that, they got a skating rink in their backyard all lit up. That's awesome. That's one thing I'd like to have when we build our house. I wanna have an outdoor skating rink. I think that'd be fun. As a kid, I would have used that so much because I played hockey then, right? So hopefully my kids will be into hockey. We'll make them an outdoor skating rink that way they can practice every day at home. Going back after five o'clock, it's five over five right now and I've got about another five minutes to the yard and then I gotta bring in this paperwork, park this trailer, park the truck, get my pickup ready to go. We'll probably be leaving around six o'clock. Six o'five, pretty bang on when we thought we'd be leaving. Some of you ask why sometimes my dash lights are flashing on my pickup in the videos. They're not actually flashing, it's just the camera. It's the shutter speed. During the day, it's an automatic shutter speed adjuster, sensor, whatever you wanna call it. And it's, it's so bright outside, it doesn't always sense the gauge lights and adjust to that shutter speed. But at nighttime here, you'll notice they're not flashing because they're the brightest lights in the camera. So the camera adjusts the shutter speed so that they're not flashing. When I explained to them the shutter speed of the camera, you do with you. Okay, I'll do it. Like I was explaining to you there in the pickup, I have noticed that in my videos too. And at first, it weirded me out of like, why are my dash lights flashing? Go back out and check my pickup and like, there's no way I drove it all the way home and didn't realize my dash lights were flashing. Like that would drive me nuts. And I noticed that they weren't. And I held my camera up to them. And from a distance, when there's a, like the whole dashboard in the view, the lights start flashing. But when I pull the camera in real close, the lights stop flashing. Maybe I can show you this next week on the way in or if I get going before the sun goes down after works, I gotta do it during the day. Because the shutter speed on these GoPros automatically adjust. The shutter speed is, I guess, how do you explain it? The best would be to Google it. It's camera tricks that I can't control. I don't really know how to explain it, but no, my dash lights are not flashing. That would drive me nuts if they were. But it was the first week of quarter one. Went off without a hitch, kind of just, meh. It was a meh kind of week. Nothing to really report, nothing too exciting, but it was the beginning of the year, first week of the year. Everybody is recovering from Christmas holidays, New Year's holidays, whatever other holidays you celebrate during that time. And everybody's just trying to get back into the swing of things, pretty much. And it is busy for freight, yeah, because freight sort of slows down through the holiday season, and then it's gotta pick up again. It doesn't really affect me on that side because I'm not in the office dealing with that paperwork and all those phone calls and stuff. Pretty much I just do what I'm assigned to do. So I don't really notice it on my end, other than I've always got something to do at this time of year, because it's time to catch up. And then through a January, February, March, things go a little kind of slower. It's the first quarter, you know? And then springtime sort of starts picking up because everybody's getting excited. Summertime's coming, everybody's getting moving. And then summertime hits and everybody's outside and everybody's at the mall. Everybody's out buying stuff. People buy a lot of stuff in summertime. If you don't count the holidays, summertime is when people like to spend their money. So that's when, obviously, truckers have to pick up the pace to deliver all the products. The busiest time of year is obviously the holidays. Everybody's buying Christmas presents. But if you exclude that from the equation, summertime is when everybody's outdoors, you know, going places, you know, they're buying a lot of gas, driving places, going to their cabins, going on vacation, going to Disney World, whatever they do. And wintertime, people are kind of hibernating in my region here in Manitoba. Not a lot of people out on the streets. You don't see a lot of people walking or jogging. Everyone's pretty much in their houses. It might look like a ghost town to some people who aren't used to that. When it gets really cold around minus 30, you get the odd, like, hardcore people who will go for a walk. Regardless of the temperature, it could be minus 400 out there.  There's some really committed people out there. But for me and the most of people we hibernate through the winter. So not a lot of stuff going on, not a lot of money flowing around. Except if you do. Now that Amazon and online shopping is such a big thing, there's always that still. But it always does pick up in summertime. That's when, you know, when the beaches fill up. So those stores you go to at the beach, don't just stalk themselves. We gotta come there and stalk it. The truck driver's gotta bring the stuff there. And when you go fishing, all that bait and tackle. And when you go hunting, all the ammo, whatever you use for hunting, whether it be bows or guns or whatever you wanna do, they all gotta get to the store, get to Cabela's, wherever you buy them from. And, you know, that's sort of a warmer weather activity. When you go down south into the southern states, I guess they probably don't notice the seasonal changes to the economy. But I'm no economist or anything, don't get me wrong. From my point of view, I can notice it. There's definitely a big pickup once the weather gets warmer. You see it on the streets here in town. Like, I'm not a town person. I've always lived in the country for the most part, growing up. So I don't like living in town really, but this is a means to an end for us. We're living in this tiny little house right now. And we own some land outside of town. We're gonna build our dream house out there.  It'll be a pretty reasonable house, but it'll be ours that we're building, right? And so living in town here to save money in this tiny little house, some conveniences are nice. We're right close to the grocery store. Grocery trips are reduced from a whole afternoon down to like an hour or two. That's nice. Tim Hortons is always right around the corner, no matter where you go. It's convenient, but there's people everywhere, especially once summertime comes around and it gets really warm, and especially once it gets hot through the night as well when it doesn't cool off at night. I know there's so many people out in the boat, and you're like, where do you all come from? There's no way you all are from here. But yeah, they are, they are. You just don't notice them in the wintertime because we're all hiding in our houses. Well, I've been talking here for over four minutes already. I just wanted to close this up and say, thanks for watching today, everybody.  And that's not as common for me. Usually I'm doing something different all the time, but like I said, getting the year going here, we'll see what this year has in store for us. 2020 is gonna be a good year, you feel it? I guess I'll talk to you guys a little later and thanks for tuning in. And Chevy, you wanna add anything? Now you're taking a nap on mom's pillow? Don't worry, I won't tell her. I won't tell her, I promise. So we'll tell mom. I won't, okay?  She lets you and Diesel use my pillow all the time when I'm at work. Then I come home and go to bed and I got hairs in my mouth. Dog hairs. That's right, you get all your fluff on there. She won't mind. Where's Weasel? Hey, Diesel! Diesel? Diesel? One second. So we got Chevy there, we got these two manly men over here, cuddling in the little bed together. Like manly men do. Where's Diesel? Oh, are you on the bed? Yeah, the sheets are there, it's okay buddy, it's okay. Don't worry about it. What you doing? Just doing some gazing. Where are you gazing? Stazing out the window looking at the sheds. Very nice sheds, dad, very nice sheds. I thought so too, that big one over there is actually a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. That small one's very handy too, because it's got shelves. Yes, very nice shelves. Yes, where mom keeps her Christmas stuff when it's not Christmas time, but it's Christmas time, so now the Christmas stuff is in here. Exactly. One of my pet peeves about living in town. Okay, here's a little mini rant. I don't wanna drag this vlog out for too long, but here's a little mini rant. Living in town, there's somebody in the neighborhood here who keeps letting their cats out loosen the neighborhood every day and they jump my fence, they jump into my yard, they spray all over the yard, they make the dogs go nuts, Diesel sits here in the window all day looking for them because when they pass through our yard by our fence, he goes nuts and the other dogs start going nuts and then the cats go and they poop on everybody's yard and you can tell that they're well taken care of indoor cats. People in town just let their cats roam town. Not very many of them, but there's at least one person who's doing it. And I'm gonna figure out who it is eventually and tell them to keep their cat in their house or keep them in your yard, figure it out. I don't want your cat coming and pooping and praying and I don't want them coming and pooping and spraying in my yard either, okay? You got to look a lot more passionate about this diesel. I'm trying to give a passionate rant here. Yes, absolutely. No more cats, mate. Thank you. Seriously, who does that, right? Isn't that annoying? There's your little rant for the day.

The revenue for the alcohol drinks market is anticipated to reach $46.6 billion in 2023. And there are lots of numbers that I could found that the annual growth rate is expected to be 7.33%. So according to recent research by a market analysis, these numbers were as per them. As a key player in the beverage industry, particularly with DRGO being a leading brand, could you elaborate on the specific contributions and strategies that you believe set DRGO apart from your competition and how do you contribute to the dynamics of the industry? So I think like I said earlier, one is our portfolio, our literally enviable portfolio of global brands, equally is our innovation strategy. We have a certified R&D center sitting out of Bangalore in India, which very very few, maybe we're the only organization that has that kind of certification for the R&D center. So between the global portfolio and innovation, we have a whole range of products and experiences for consumers. But I think there are some overarching things. One is premiumization, you know, so we talked about growth, but consumers are actually growing much faster in terms of adopting better liquids to drink. I don't think they're necessarily drinking as much more at the bottom of the pyramid, which is in line with our policy, where we encourage consumers to drink better, not more. And therefore we're introducing more premium propositions, better and more responsible ways really to enjoy the same liquids as well.


Hi, beautiful. I look like I'm straight out of a 80s slash 90s hip hop music video. I don't know how to feel about that. I think that's a good thing. I think we're gonna embrace it today. I don't know, man, I'm losing my mind. Well, I mean, my mind was already lost, but losing it further, I guess. I'll be watching two different people go from having extremely, extremely long dreadlocks past their butt to no dreads anymore. And from the thumbnails, they look like very dramatic transformations. You guys know I love a good dreadlock removal video. They excite me. It's so fun to watch. It relieves all my stress, which I need today. So let's watch these videos together and check out these unbelievable transformations. Let's do it. Up first, we have a video by Summer Day Dreams, and this is called Coming Out My Dreads After Six Years. New year, new me. This has a whopping two million views, so I feel like it's gonna be good. I'm really feeling this. Okay, friends, so. Hi, friend. Whoa, those dreadlocks. Sorry, we pretty much didn't even begin watching the video yet, but I already have something to say because I talk too much. Her dreads are so long and so thick. She must've been growing those out for years, years, and years, like six years.  I'm so excited about it. I'm ready for change. It is time.  We're so ready for it. We're so ready for it. So I'm actually gonna be starting the process.  I thought they were long before she picked them up, now that she picked them up, what in the world?  I've had them for six years. Six years, my first guess was right. Beautiful six years, it has been, and they are like down to my butt. Ultimately, I do not wanna buzz my head and I think I'm just really ready for this. This is a bittersweet time for me. I am nervous because I'm afraid that I'm gonna regret this decision. That's so scary.  Trying to come out all of this would take probably a month. I had long hair already before I dried my hair. It was already down. I'm sorry, I can't believe what's going on right now. And then, of course, when I dreaded it, you lose length. It was about shoulder length. The dreads are just too heavy. I don't really necessarily like the bulky weight. It's gonna be definitely a process. It's gonna take me probably a week. Oh my God, no. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Thank you. 44 dreads total. I'm gonna just be coming them out with a metal comb. Oh my God, I'm so happy she has helped with this. I'm excited for this big initial chop.  These things are really thick. You break your scissors with them. He's just going in with some regular scissors here. Dude, I am so excited. I just love watching dead ends fall to the floor. These are definitely some dead ends.  What? It isn't really cool. It is, look at all that. What? It was molded. Ah, she's like. Oh my God. That makes you feel better. It works. Aren't you guys not just fuzzy balls? No. It was molded. That's moisture filled up. Oh my God. I didn't even know that was a thing where you could just grow mold in your dreads. That makes a lot of sense, but I never really thought about it. Also, that could be such a health hazard for her. So I'm very happy she's getting rid of them. They probably take so long to dry, like he said. Her hair is so long.  Ooh, that's scary. I thought they smelled funny. Oh, is it more again? Yeah. Where? In the very center. Oh, that's so funny. Oh, you're gross. Oh my God. I smell weird smells. That's mold and dandruff gathered together. No, thank you. And now he's going to work with the metal comb and he's gonna completely comb them out like he's doing. Whoa, he did a great job. Oh my God. They're just gonna have to sit there forever. She said it might take an entire week. All right, y'all. So I am at the salon and Christy, hi. My best friend here is Christy, you're doing God's work, baby. She has conditioner all up in there and she is combing away. No, no, thank you. I mean, she has beautiful hair. I am happy. They're not shaving it off. I mean, it's just gonna take a really long time but oh my God, they have barely made any progress. 30 more to go. She said she has 30 more to go. I'm gonna try to knock them out this weekend. It means I have a lot coming out to be between today, Saturday, and tomorrow, Sunday. No. It's gonna go a lot faster if I soak my dreadlocks in detangler. So she is soaking her hair in this cowboy magic stuff, I guess what it's called. And it's supposed to help her dreadlocks untangle. Good for her with these patients girl because I would have shaved my head already. I would have given up but she is determined she's going through it and she's doing it. And wow, that's actually looking really good. And I feel like her hair is just gonna be so luscious and pretty when she's all done. So we got six combed out tonight. So I have 11 left to go. You're kidding. 11. The remaining 11 tomorrow. And I can't believe it. Slowly but surely it is happening. Oh my God, day six. It is hopefully the final session. I have 11 dreadlocks left. They're so close to the finish line, dude. So I want to weigh all of the hair that I cut off and combed out. Oh my God, I'm sorry. I keep on going. This is honestly just so shocking to me. That's one pound of hair she just took off. Okay, y'all. So it's the moment that I have been. Oh my God. And that is. We made it. Brushing. We made it to the finish line. I have not brushed my hair. She looks so cute. So let me just show you like all of my hair. Oh my God. And her hair is still somehow so thick. She said it was very thin. Thick, wavy hair. Since I combed out the dreads, like I lost a lot of hair. Some of the hair just kind of ripped out. Whoa. And she added a lot of hair to the first finish. Wow. So here we go. Wow. This is so satisfying. Oh, I bet. Holy. That's the one thing that I am most excited about now is being able to brush my scalp. That's pretty much it. That is my fluff. Yes. It's such a weird. You need a haircut now. A good haircut would be good. Feather, it's just like whisk.  I will show you my haircut now. Oh, yay. She's getting a haircut. I thought she was going to end the video there but we're getting a haircut. Please do it short. Please do it short. Oh my God. It looks so much better. Oh my God. Summer, that was a lot. Just watching that gave me a slight amount of stress but also pleasure but mostly stress. I mean, I can't believe you spent over a week doing this process. Good for you girl. I don't know if I would have made it. You look amazing and congratulations on your new dread-free life. Let's move on to the next video. And our next video is by Justin and Juby and this is cutting my dreadlocks off after nine years. Amazing transformation. Let's check it out. Today, I purchased something. What'd you get? I'm going to actively take action on this thought. Oh, she's going to shave off the dreads. She's going to trim her beard. I've been thinking that I wanted to get rid of my locks but I hadn't actually thought that it was going to overwhelm my mind. We're doing it today. Quickly. I can't wait to see it. A lot has happened in nine years of having dreadlocks. Nine years? Dude, that's a long time. Something and I need to do something about it. I'm going to just do the back underneath. See how it goes. Continue maybe next week. I'm scared but excited. It's like, I don't want to regret decision. And I also was happy to be making this decision because it's like nine years I haven't cut my hair. Actually it's more like 12 years. I'm just done with this look. I'm done with the locks. I'm done with growing roots and I'm ready to kind of like start fresh and like have a different hairdo and feel lighter. I'm, yeah. I love that for you. Taking on my hair, man. I'm tired of shutting my hair out the corridor. This is a huge deal.  Whoa. Sorry, I was having a vision. We're going for it. It's the first shave. The first one down, baby. Bye. Didn't miss ya. Won't miss ya. That's so crazy. That's insane. Yeah, I can feel them on your head. That's insane.  When you're up on accident shopping, things you shouldn't be shopping. That's true. We're doing an undercut at first, I guess. I'll finesse it when I get close. That's still super-duper long. And you're gonna cut it. Going in for us. Ah, Justin. You gotta quit moving. I didn't move.  I didn't move. I'm moving your head and your hand in my way. Take a picture. Oh, a little ratchet. A little ratchet. So now, phase two, a couple weeks later, she's going a little bit higher now, cutting off the dreads. She's making her way up.  I feel like she's gonna look just as pretty or even better.  Ah, look, it doesn't even look. Ooh, she looks so cute. I love this undercut, though. It's a moment. To bring you up to date, she decided that she didn't want to keep this undercut for as long as she thought she was gonna keep it for her.  And she's reminiscing on the past. And so that is where we're at. I wanna say I know I'm ready for it, but I'm scared. So there's like a little fear in me that's like making me think rather than know. It's gonna be amazing, babe. It's gonna look amazing. I don't want another one of those nasty vocal shots there. So I had curly hair. I guess I still do have curly hair. Ooh, she has curly hair. I can't wait to see that. The longer I would grow it, the shorter it would get because the more curly it would get. Oh my God, look how long her hair is. She's about to get rid of all this length. That is so huge. Oh my God. This is the moment we've been waiting for. It's finally coming. She's gonna do it all. She's gonna get rid of it all. The front ones are coming. Oh my God, dude. Yes. I know, seeing it like not on my body is like weird.  Why am I doing this? What do I do? Do I go back? Do I keep going? I'm just happy she's not trying to brush them out. Too much work, man. That must weigh five pounds. All that hair. It has to. You can't just keep that. Oh, the last few pieces. Cut them, baby, cut them. Oh my God, she's so pretty. I'm hypnotized by what's going on right now. It's so much fun to watch. Okay. That just happened.  Yeah, I did. Just leave that one as a souvenir. I feel like a totally different person. Do I? Yeah. Do I have a good way? Yeah, I have a good way. Should I keep this one? Yes, please keep that one. I can't believe that was on your head. My head's like so small. I look so different. She looks younger, a lot younger. God, that was gross. Give that a good wash, a good trim, and it's gonna look great. We are now shaving it off. Thank God. I thought they were gonna leave it like that for a second. We're doing the full thing. We're shaving it. And she is keeping that one dread, I think, which I'm kind of excited about. I feel like once you wash it, how do you think we're gonna all leave one? You can always go shorter, like wash it first and then decide. Oh my God. I can't tell if she's happy or like totally sad. Oh, gross. Blinging across the, look. Oh my God. She's so pretty. See what this decade holds. I'm into it. I'm so into it. I'm using my hair serum and it feels really good on my hair. We did it. I didn't do anything, but you did it. Starting or ending, it's an exciting period of your life. It will change you and take you on a journey. I saw other people cut their dreads. I was always like, no. Obviously I knew what they were going through, this liberating feeling of needing to be a new person and cut their hair off. You just get so accustomed to seeing someone look a certain way that you're kind of not really ready to see them any other way. Yeah. Changes and people change and hair grows back. That's such a good message. I love that. I enjoyed the end of my dread love journey. She's just such a beautiful person. You can tell like I just want to be friends with her and her just tell me nice things all day. I don't know. She just seems so happy and oh my God. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love it. Congratulations. So sickening. Oh, I'm obsessed. The journey was beautiful. Thank you for sharing that video with us. Dude. Oh my God. Those were incredible. I mean, they gave me everything I wanted.  Both really great transformations in two different ways. One girl ended up brushing out her hair and getting a haircut. That was really cool and another girl ended up shaving it. That was super cool to watch. Thank you both for sharing those videos with the world. They were so fun to watch.

The high likelihood of an earthquake occurring in California is no secret. With the San Andreas Fault more than 150 years overdue, earthquake response is a capability that must be practiced and tested to ensure that our state is well prepared. For that very reason, the California National Guard and Nevada National Guard held Vigilant Guard, a large-scale earthquake response exercise supported by more than 1200 members from local, state, and federal agencies. The scenario for the exercise was set with an earthquake in Las Vegas, and two days later a major earthquake then strikes California along the San Andreas Fault, causing fires, hazardous material concerns, displacing millions, and causing thousands of injuries and deaths. Vigilant Guard practiced using air assets for transporting survivors and resources, rescuing the victims trapped in collapsed buildings, specially trained search dogs looking for survivors, commodity points of distribution, and teamwork among various agencies to keep California safe. Cal OES Fire and Rescue Branch participated in Urban Search and Rescue Task Force Team Mobilization Coordination Exercises. While California has some of the most highly trained first responders in the world, we must not overlook our individual responsibility to prepare for an emergency. Learn how you can prepare for a disaster at caloes.ca.gov. For OESNews.com, I'm Monica Vargas.

From Austin, Texas, it's theCUBE. Covering OpenStack Summit 2016. Brought to you by the OpenStack Foundation and headline sponsors Red Hat and Cisco. Now here are your hosts, Stu Miniman and Brian Gracely. Welcome back to theCUBE. I'm Stu Miniman here with Brian Gracely and we've been digging into the broad ecosystem here at OpenStack Summit. Going to talk a little bit about some of the storage pieces inside what's happening here. Happy to bring back to the program Dave Wright who, of course, is with SolidFire now part of NetApp through the acquisition of his VP and general manager. And first time on the program, Mark Pregman who's the CTO of NetApp. Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Thanks a lot Stu. All right, first of all, Dave, I got to start with you. We've gone through kind of the acquisition. I see kind of the red and the blue. So before we get into some of the OpenStack stuff just give us an update. How are things going with you, the team and everything? Yeah, things are going great. We closed the acquisition back in February. We've been in the process of integrating our teams and integrating the sales teams and really training the NetApp teams and partners and starting to reach out to the NetApp customers about SolidFire and it's exciting. There's a lot of enthusiasm within NetApp, within NetApp's partner community and it's really exciting to be part of the new NetApp. So Mark, since your first time on the program if you could just give us a little introduction to kind of what got you to your current role. And the other thing I'm asking is I've seen the SolidFire guys here many years at the OpenStack show. NetApp hasn't been here as much so maybe you can help bring us up to speed on the NetApp OpenStack story too. Sure, well I've been with NetApp only slightly longer than Dave. I joined as CTO in September last year. I had spent a number of years at Veritas and then when it was combined with Symantec I was the CTO of the combined company. And then I went to a customer, a business on the other side and implemented a lot of open source sort of SaaS platform technology and started to dabble, we started at that point dabbling in OpenStack and other technologies. What brought me to NetApp is I think we're at a major inflection point in the industry, driven by cloud technologies, driven by changing storage media, flash and new generations of technology, driven by changing role of data, big data is different than traditional transactional data and finally driven by different programming model and OpenStack is clearly a big part of that. This ability to do compositional development, very rapid iteration. What I've seen is NetApp is at a position where it really has to transform itself. The acquisition of SolidFire is a big step in that direction to bring in talent that's very grounded in open source in rapid development and software orientation and I already see that impact both at the senior executive level where they're getting educated about what it really means and also at the engineering level where they're seeing a lot of these things can actually be done. You mentioned our participation in OpenStack. Interestingly, I think both SolidFire and NetApp are the number one and number two players in the storage elements around OpenStack. So while we may not have been participating as much as NetApp in the OpenStack Summit, I think we've been very involved for a long time in the community and in developing technology. Yeah, just in general, for either one of you, what's the state of storage for OpenStack? Obviously, Flash by itself has tremendous changes in terms of performance and economics. Software-defined storage has all sorts of different permutations and definitions but from your perspective, what is the state of storage for OpenStack? Yeah, so I would say that storage is actually in a pretty good state in OpenStack now. When SolidFire started participating several years back, storage was an afterthought. There was object storage and that was really it. There was local instance storage. The Cinder project didn't exist. Commercial storage vendors weren't involved in OpenStack at all and people were kind of left to fend for themselves and in the last couple of years, obviously we've seen the Cinder project mature, the Manila project, which NetApp helps start, has taken off and become mainstream and there's extremely broad industry participation in OpenStack when it comes to commercial storage vendors and the array of options, the selection of options that customers have is extremely broad and SolidFire obviously has been very successful in production OpenStack environments, helping customers be successful with performance-related storage for OpenStack and so I think customers today, you've got a mature set of storage projects inside OpenStack. You've got a wide variety of different vendor solutions as well as open source solutions to choose from and customers I think are in a very good place when it comes to storage, right? Right, and obviously John Griffin used to run the PTL, was incredibly visible, like you said, you carved out a big niche of the early OpenStack sort of block storage market. How much of that knowledge is transferable to NetApp in terms of typically went after a little bit different customer base, a different way of looking at it, like how do you help transfer that knowledge to the broader corporation? Yeah, well obviously one of the big reasons NetApp was interested in SolidFire was the success we're having in OpenStack in production environments as a leader in flash for next generation data centers and they do want to understand more about how we've been successful there and what parts of it are the actual way we participate in OpenStack which has been a very open inclusive and kind of community-centric approach as well as the technology and how well that fits with the ethos of how people think about building OpenStack clouds and that's a big part of it as well. And I think going forward, NetApp's entire portfolio is going to participate in OpenStack in some way, shape, or form. There is a place for the FAS product in OpenStack, there's certainly a place for the storage grid, web scale, object storage product and there's a place for SolidFire and so we're helping to position the NetApp portfolio across the OpenStack ecosystem based on the depth of understanding we have of what customers are doing with OpenStack these days. So, Mark, I'm wondering if you could expand a little bit on NetApp's cloud storage strategy. I've seen NetApp, you're doing plenty with AWS and Azure. We've actually been talking about the multi-cloud world here a lot and how those solutions, can you help us kind of broaden how OpenStack fits into the overall picture of cloud storage from a NetApp perspective? Let me add one thing also which I think fits into that. I think that one of the other important factors we heard about it in the first keynote yesterday is this idea of bimodal IT. A lot of our customers are coming from that world of mode one. A lot of the people embracing OpenStack that are strong customers for SolidFire are coming from that world of mode two and there's an enormous opportunity to help customers that are trying to bring those pieces together within their enterprise and I think that's one of the things we have a lot to learn from the SolidFire team on OpenStack and how to participate and I think there's also an opportunity to help position those mode two solutions for customers that are moving from a mode one world. Similarly, we've seen this huge shift towards the cloud. I think there are a couple of interesting factors that often are overlooked. Cloud's compelling, you get the immediate business value, oh it's elastic, I can pay for what I use. Data is different than compute, it doesn't go away. So the idea that I'm going to ramp up a lot of cores and use them when I need them and then turn them off is great in compute. I'm going to put a bunch of data in my cloud storage and then when I'm done, oh I'm still paying for it because it's not going anywhere. So people are beginning to realize, customers are beginning to realize that this hybrid model is going to have long legs, it's going to last a long time. There's place for data that's going to be on-prem, there's a place for data in the cloud and one of the things that we're very focused on is how do we help them manage across that diverse world. They're great solutions if you're a pure AWS or a pure Azure or a pure Google cloud user. They're great solutions that have matured over the years if you're just in your data center. There's not so much to help you manage that data sprawl, understanding where's my data, is it in compliance, am I putting it in the right place from a performance and economic perspective? That's really what we're focused on is sort of the next wave. So right now's a little bit of a chaotic time in storage, you've got some big industry leaders are having flat in terms of financials or going through a lot of change. The cloud's obviously having some impact. How do you, when you're talking to customers, whether you're talking to them about flash or cloud or just transitions, what's that conversation look like and how's it changed the last couple of years? You know, in SolidFire's case, you're right. I mean, the two biggest disruptive trends in the data center right now are flash and cloud and we've been right at the kind of intersection of those two for a long time. And the conversation we're having with customers is really about, hey, I've got to do more with less. I've got to become more agile. I've got to become more dynamic in my IT delivery. I've got to deliver a wider array of services with a higher level of quality because public cloud has raised the bar. And if I don't find a way to do that, I'm not going to have any workloads left to manage. And the question has really been about how can we do that? How can we build a cloud-like infrastructure that has the agility and the economics of the public cloud with the type of capabilities that I need for my enterprise applications? And SolidFire has really been helping them on the storage side to find a way to do that. And that's really been the big conversation for us with customers is how do we help you advance the way that you build your infrastructure and truly build a next-generation data center offering inside your four walls? Yeah, yeah, makes sense. As you think about, you know, you see this community evolving. There's other projects that are going on. How do you try and keep thinking about the business versus open versus community? I mean, to a certain extent there's competition, to a certain extent there's innovation. How is that evolving either within SolidFire, within NetApp? How do you keep the right balance between those things and listening to the customer and figuring out this sort of new dynamic market? Well, I think one of the things that is true about NetApp is that we have a pretty diverse portfolio today. That wasn't always the case. For many years, we had sort of fast. That was our thing. Big on tap and little on tap. Right, and now we've got a broad range and they are at different stages of evolution and maturity. So they're parts of our business where they're going to be driven not by innovation from a feature function capability point of view, but by continuing to make the more efficient, easier to adopt, sell into our traditional markets. Other areas, the market's changing very rapidly. I think one of the things that we've recognized is there's a big shift across our whole industry away from building big barriers to entry with IP and proprietary investment and so on, much more towards speed. Help the customer get where they need to go quickly, keep moving, so you stay ahead of their requirements and needs, and it kind of is less important to do things in the back room that you can keep secret or protect, because if you stay ahead of it by the time somebody's adopted what you did last year, it's like, well, that was last year and we've moved on. And I think that's changed our attitude within NetApp towards open source, towards collaboration, and frankly, internally, towards how fast we have to move. So speed and agility sort of, here's some of those evils of the past that you may want to forget about, yeah. So one of the themes in the keynote this morning was all the collaboration going on and of course open source has a lot of collaboration. When we look at the storage world though, it's usually much more of a competitive marketplace here. Dave, I'm wondering, here at the show, hear a lot about staff. Of course, the all flash array market, you've got the EMCs and the purers of the world. What's your commentary on this data, the kind of storage competition today? Well, obviously storage has always been a very competitive space, that certainly is no different today. And to me, the really exciting thing is actually around OpenStack, you have a truly vendor neutral community supported product that everybody gets a seat at the table, everybody gets a voice in, and decisions are made by contributing code and actually participating as opposed to vendor control. And realize that's very different from where we came from in the past in the IT industry where the platforms were owned by big vendors like Microsoft, like VMware, that had large strategic alliances and there was a lot of certification, cost and complexity, and especially for smaller companies, very hard to participate in those ecosystems. And so to me, OpenStack is encouraging competition, is encouraging smaller companies to be able to come in and be involved and be part of the process and build products for this community in a way that you didn't have before. So that's part of what we're actually seeing is a proliferation of companies participating in this ecosystem, not just the big vendors. And everybody's out there and playing on a level playing field, which is actually unusual in the storage world in a lot of ways. So I think it's great. We certainly believe in our product and the merits of it and we think it's the best solution out there and we're happy to participate in the community on a level playing field with everyone else. Mark, any of the partnerships you want to highlight? Of course, I mean, Cisco, Red Hat, Microsoft, and I've worked with a lot. I would echo what Dave said, which is I think the whole nature of innovation has moved to a much more open fluid model. And while we're going to compete, all of us will compete actively in the market with our solutions, we're not doing that on the base of proprietary self-contained technologies, nor are we building, nor do I expect to see the same kind of bilateral limited partnerships that we may have seen in the past. They'll be much more open and we will have multiple partners working together. We will expect our partners to have multiple partners. I think that's the nature of this open collaboration. And I think OpenStack is an example of that for what it provides, but I think we're going to see that more broadly in the industry. In Solid Fire's case, we've always had broad partnerships across the OpenStack ecosystem, Red Hat, Cisco, Platform 9, Mirantis across the board. We've worked with everybody that has come to the table and all of their customers as well. Dave Wright, Mark Bregman, really appreciate you coming. All the participation in the open stores and OpenStack communities. We'll be back with lots more coverage here from OpenStack 2016 in Austin. You're watching theCUBE.
