Hi, everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2019, 2020, Panini, one and one basketball, five bucks. It's a half case, random team break, number three from jaspyscasebreaks.com. Big thanks to all of these wonderful people here for getting into the action, really appreciate it. All the teams are in right here. Oh, and I'll post the second half after this break or maybe during the trade window. Let's roll it, let's randomize each list, names and teams four and a two, six times for each list, one, two, three, four, five and sixth and final time. After six, we got Ron Wester down to Matthew Bloss. And big thanks to everybody who bought their spots straight up, and I appreciate everybody who gave those Chronicles filler packs a go. And congrats again to the winners. Four and a two, six times for the teams. One, two, three, four, five and sixth and final time. After six, da bulls down to the San Antonio Spurs.   Let's get all this on one page. Let's sort by column B by team. Let's box these up, center these up. I'm gonna switch away from the screen just for a quick second, because I wanna see which half we're gonna do here. So let's pop this fresh case open. Beautiful boxes right there, just one autographed card and one base card or insert inside, a one and one, get it? One, two, three for the left side, and then we're gonna do a four, five, six for the right side, and it's six. So we're gonna do the left side here. This side will be for break number four. So we marked all of those four, so you know they're from the same case.  All right, I'm gonna pause the video. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades, and then we'll have the break. Stick around. Hi everyone, welcome back to Panini one and one basketball. There are no trades in the safe light trade window. Five box random team, three. The list remains the same. Just break brought to you by safe light. All right, good luck everybody. So I'm gonna slide the card from the bottom first because I think that's just the base card or the insert, there's Stephen Adams. 35 out of 99 for OKC, Matthew. And the one on top is gonna be this way. It's Nikhil Alexander Walker. Dual Relic and Autograph, eight out of 25. Pelicans, that's gonna be for Matthew. It's a personal box for you there. All right, see you again. Next box, all right, we've got Aaron Gordon. Nine out of 15. Daniel with the Orlando Magic. And the hit is gonna be Zach Levine for the Bulls, tried to trade, couldn't trade Mojo, two-color Dual Relic and on-card Autograph. Looks like 50 out of 99. Three more to go. We got Eric Pascal, 78 out of 99. Golden State Warriors, that'll be for Matthew. And the hit is 15 out of 49. Kevin Porter Jr., Cavs Edition. There you go, that'll be for Ryan. That's right, JMS, the classic, the classic tried to trade, couldn't trade Mojo. That's right, Sean, the TTT, CTM, if you wanna agree with that. Got Wendell Carter Jr. for the Bulls, two out of 15. So that's also for Ron Wester, won that spot as well. And we've got 13 out of 49, Rookie Auto, Kendrick Nunn. Raymond, Raymond de Jesus with the old Kendrick Nunn. He's a pretty solid player. Oh, is that what you were going for? You were purposely going for the try to trade, couldn't trade Mojo. I think that's, is that what Ron's saying? All right, we got Jamal Murray, seven out of 15. For the Denver Nuggets, that goes to Kirk. And the last hit in the first half of this case is gonna be Jared Culver, 83 out of 99, Rookie, Jersey, and Autograph. I think the Lakers are in Minnesota tonight. My Lakers facing the T-Wolves, Louie, on the board with the final hit. And there you go, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate you getting in. That was Panini one-in-one basketball. The next one is in the store right now. Check it out, jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next break.


What's good George Boar Ross back again with another video? So we're gonna check out best final twos in WWE Royal Rumble history man Royal Rumble right around the corner man is at the end of this month I believe so I'm very excited to see what's gonna happen what surprises are we're gonna get and How the Royal Rumble will end in the final two. It's always supposed to be a I guess you can say an epic moment between Competitors and and it's really supposed to be a back-and-forth to see who's gonna be DeVictory who will be the last man standing in the Royal Rumble So we're gonna check out some of the the best final two Opponents in the Royal Rumble and it should be a good one Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel.  Let's get right into this one This should be a good one man. The season to be rumbly Man, I really want the Royal Rumbles to be good this year seeing as last years were in one case bland and the other case offensively very goddamn bland Should not be it's that honestly if I have to rewatch one of the two I would rather hate watch 2015's rumble again than the 2022 men's bloody lord But say what you want about the if you would hate watch that Royal Rumble where Roman Reigns got booed with the Rocks assistance That's how you know last year's Royal Rumble was just a complete let down 2022 men's rumble. I think they got one thing slightly right. They had a fun final to drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar Get each other It's an often overlooked weapon in the rumble arsenal Everyone focuses on the nostalgia pops the iron men the returned people forget that one of the very best things about a good Rumble is a nail biting Final two and only two competitors are left and they essentially have a match within a match Sometimes it's a fake out like on edge in 2021 or del Rio Morela in 2011 and sometimes It's an epic marathon between two competitors either of whom could snatch the win I'm Adam Hailing from parts fun known and here are ten best final twos in Royal Rumble history And if you like Royal Rumble content make sure you check out all the stuff We did last year as well every January We do a raft of Royal Rumble lists and fancy book and you want check them out check them out number 10 Bret Hart and Lex Luger 1994 difficult to describe the match within a match is actually good No sooner had Bret Hart and Lex Luger been left to their own devices in decisive from crisis to crisis than the match was over Seriously from Bret and Lex being the final two to the end of the rumble was less than a minute Which is very real both men with the biggest stars in the match by far and they could have savoured it a little bit longer But this is a Rikishi size But no way that these two aren't going on this list because they were the first and to this point only Co-winners of the Royal Rumble Wow After a few seconds of punching both men went to the ropes had a lovely little cuddle and fell over the ropes together Like Holmes and Moriarty going over the Reichenbach falls if Holmes and Moriarty had a little cuddle on the way Down both men's feet apparently touched them out at the same time with a long post-match angle of trying to work out Which the light had won it for the sheer amount of rumble drama Surrounding two dudes this belongs on the list even if the wrestling part of it was over way too quick So you can get to the hole raising the arms and crowd noise bit. Yeah, I did not know that obviously This is you know, I'm like three years old at this time So I'm not knowing what wrestling is but it's you know It's cool to see that they went with that angle of all both wrestlers Feet hit the floor at the same time. So, you know what that means They're both Co-winners number nine Chris Benoit and Big Show 2004 only three men have won the Royal Rumble from the number one position and two of them are Shawn Michaels and Edge The third is Chris Benoit whose win is often overlooked. Yeah, we know why but for the sake of this list It's worth pointing out that the final two of Benoit and Big Show were very good Chris Benoit was always very good at selling although after wrestling for nearly an hour Not sure how much he actually needed to sell Yeah It made the David versus Goliath aspect of the ending to 2004's rumble match all the better Benoit straight-up Technicianed Big Show out of the rumble eliminating the giant with a front face lock and dragging him over the top row You know what people talk about the talent of Benoit and it's unfortunately for WWE iconic closing spot But credit to the Big Show for the athleticism involved in being that huge and also hanging upside down for a few seconds to make the spot Seem even more impressive number eight triple H and Dean Ambrose 2016 This was a god It's just it's one of those things. I really truly wish they called an audible. Oh I'm so mad they never called an audible for this. Oh Ah That's all I can say man if you know they should have called an audible for Dean Ambrose in this situation I'm the best moments in professional wrestling happen when two people are wrestling and every logical Rational part of your brain tells you that the person you want to win Yeah, precisely zero chance of winning but for slight moments for the slightest moment They make you believe the 2016 Royal Rumble has some Incredibly dumb booking Reigns was forced to defend his WWE championship in the rumble itself and the major angle in the match Was Vince's boys taking Reigns out of the match via the bottom rope and injuring him Which is ass backwards forwards and then backwards again Of course Roman comes back out and we think he's gonna win But then triple H eliminates him to a huge pop leaving us the game and Dean Ambrose Dean never going to win Already intercontinental champion Ambrose and of course, he doesn't but for a few short minutes The WWE will pivot to much more over Ambrose at the last minute before mania And that's enough to make the final to a tiny bit They would have did that you could have set up a great story line between Dean being the champ in a continental champ in the WWE champ Roman being screwed Roman being slighted by that over time Could have turned them here with it brothers He Lynch and Charlotte flair 2019 most of the time at least for the last 10 years who we want to win the Royal Rumble Mostly doesn't win the Royal Rumble. You know what? It's fine joy is overrated and leads to wrinkles and in an ironic twist WWE's constant conveyor belt of disappointment at the rumble time of year actually makes the happy rumble moments much happier A very happy moment happened at the 2019 women's Royal Rumble Becky Lynch was Incredibly over more so than WWE expected and it looked like Daniel Bryan in 2014 all over again competing in the first match of the night Losing not being in the Royal Rumble, but this time the Old Testament WWE gods smiled on us inserting Lynch into the match via shenanigans Permiating the rest of the match with the fizzing energy of they're doing it They're actually going to do it especially when it came down to Lynch and Charlotte the person earmarked for the WrestleMania main event It was the fairy tale rumble ending we wanted for D. Brigh and it finally came true number six John senior and Batista 2000 that was a good moment for her man. And once again, it shows that for whatever reason WWE has a problem with people organically getting over in ways. They don't expect it to happen and then they tried to D, you know deep push them and push them the way they want to and ultimately it doesn't work So they have to push them the way the fans want and that's how it happens. Don't know why they do that I think it's just better to play the hot hand that's given to you and kind of go from there and see what happens They do You see what's happened with Sami Zayn. They played the hot hand. He wasn't supposed to get that over They played the hot hand. Of course Vince leaving helped even more played the hot hand And now he's one of the most over individuals in the company. Just saying five. Lol They fell over the two breakout stars of 2005 either of them could have won and wouldn't you know They both did one of the most infamous final twos of all time saw the Batiste's and John Pena Butch a Batista bomb which sent both guys sailing over the top rope in an unintended remake of Red Heart and Lex Luga But this time done perfectly like they touched the ground at exactly the same time It is unreal Breaks his own legs and sits in the ring barking orders until they restarted He was supposed to does it make sense no because literally in 1994 Yeah, both men win if this happens, but it's a hilarious and eternal reminder of that old adage The best laid plans of Vince and men off go awry and also lucky Taurus quads like a massive bow That's man Taurus quads getting into the ring had to sit down and tell them what to do That's why oh bro Doyle number five Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog 1995 ah 1995 a deeply royal rumble one of the most influential and referenced finishes in Rumble history if you haven't seen it, please take my word for it That the final spot does not make watching the whole thing worth it That being said the final two is annoyingly brilliant Shawn Michaels entered number one The British Bulldog entered number two 35 minutes later. It's a really short rumble one the reasons why it's bad They're the last men standing and engage in a couple of really choice final spots mostly centered around HBK being a Springy little bollocks Michael's over the top rope one foot touches the ground and even though the bell doesn't ring Bulldogs music plays Michaels reenters the ring knocks him out and just like that a top three rumble moments of all time Endlessly referenced again and again because it's at the heart of the rumble golden rule both feet must touch the floor Rumble though.  Yeah before Chris Jericho and Seamus 2012 I know we all love Seamus nowadays and with damn good reason banger after banger after banger Etc. But I still think the wrong person won the 2012 Royal Rumble the fact that Chris Jericho cannot boast a royal rumble win on his record despite the fact that he should have won it in both 2012 and 2070 that's crazy when you when you really actually think about it That's actually kind of crazy brother. He does not have a royal rumble win That's that's really insane if you really think about it of all the aquilates. He's had in his career The Royal Rumble has eluded him very insignificant amount of bullsh** even so the match within a match at the end of 2012 is Really good the two men wrestled for legit over five minutes before Jericho is ousted by a brogue kick Now is a big risk considering the match had already lasted an hour But it was so great with Jericho writing several love letters to Shawn Michaels Constantly saving himself from elimination by centimeters taking the great white to his limit for making history's palest man Very angry Drama and up there with the best of him number three John Cena and Triple H 2008 this was a good one and the reason why this was a good one one Jim Ross selling John Cena coming back Like fucking months before he was supposed to no one saw this coming I didn't see this coming at all.  Holy sh** Cena's months early return from injury at number 30 sets off a hype bomb inside of Madison Square Garden The crowd are electric from the moment the doctor of Thuganomics walks in as such They are still molten during the final stages of the match right up until the great closing spot of Cena adjusting Triple H is Fire emoji as the children tweet number two Shinsuke Nakamura and Roman Reigns 2018 Really wish they would have pulled the trigger Well, I should know they did pull the trigger. I'm tripping. I'm tripping. I forgot all about it Now they actually did for once. It's a rarity. They pulled the trigger even though We was hoping AJ Styles Shinsuke Nakamura would have been a better match at WrestleMania It still was cool that they actually did pull the trigger here So I forgot all about this suddenly very interested in who sits where at a dinner party Everyone hated him so very much to the point that when he actually won his Royal Rumble in 2015 People campaign for the WWE Network to crash and burn which looking back and it was a perfectly sane and normal day at Twitter comm However, since then at least when the rumble comes around WWE have used Roman's rumble infamy to pop the crowd even more for the eventual winner Which is actually very cunning for real in 2016 2017 2018 and 2020 the crowds overwhelming anyone but you At the rumble time was used to make triple H's Randy Orton's Drew McIntyre's victories feel even bigger But the best example of that is Shinsuke Nakamura's win in 2018 again There are two top belts in the company knackers pegged for one reigns for the other and goddammit if the tension isn't delicious This was all final six is booked to perfection Oh God versus new but when it comes down to loved versus hated in Nakamura versus rain Becomes one of the greatest ever my word the ovation when Shinsuke won Number one Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker 2000 I can't even get mad. This was a very good number one right here seven Hey, it's the final two. Then you would be number one when you click the video. Yeah called it in the comments You did it champ. Here's your prize. This prize is for you. Weren't you a clever sausage?  Yes, you are so yes This is the precursor to one the most treasured WrestleMania rivalries of all time two of the best WWE wrestlers ever The example that immediately comes to mind when people say Royal Rumble final two Yeah, because it's a pay-per-view match hidden inside the Royal Rumble And it's in rules from the off a beautiful spot where the evil team of rated RKO a dispatch by HPK and back-to-back Eliminations to the sit-up kip-up spot to the nearly 10 minutes that follows It's Royal Rumbling at its best close calls huge counters super kids either guy could win F***ing delight so much so that in 2008 they open the rumble with a repeat of both guys this time entering one and two HPK and Undertaker the patron saints of doing a job so nice WWE do it twice and I saw less. What's your favorite Royal Rumble? Hey, I'm okay with that list I'm okay with that being number one. That was that was a very good Ending sequence between both individuals man, Shawn Michaels Undertaker Some of the best to ever do it, you know, so I am A-okay with that man, but comment down below. Let me know. What was your favorite? Final two in the Royal Rumble man in Royal Rumble history Let me know down below and also let's get this discussion going Who do y'all think will be the final two for this year's Royal Rumble? I'm very intrigued as long as one of them is Cody Rhodes You know what I would actually love to see Cody Rose and Seth Rollins Just be the final two Be the final two. I think that would be cool You know granted they don't need to have another match in per se But I would think it would be a cool way for Cody to kind of get his his his lick back from what happened When he got injured so I think that would be a pretty cool moment But let me know who do y'all think should be the final two for this year at the Royal Rumble But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel and I am still Your undisputed YouTube wrestling champ of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace


So I guess the only thing this problem wants us to do, doesn't want us to build anything, but as of 6, it wants us to show the atomic orbitals, show them rehybridized into their molecular orbitals, their bonding orbitals. So hopefully already you can tell that, well, fluorine is not period 3 or below, so it cannot be hyperbabel. So hopefully you know that the sulfur is the central atom. Hopefully also you recognize that sulfur should normally only make two bonds, right? But of course it's making six bonds in this case, so it must have expanded its favor. And in order to do that, hopefully you recall that you've got to rehybridize your orbitals. So with all of that in mind, let's go ahead and write up the atomic orbitals for sulfur. So there's the 3S, the 3P, and there's three of them. And remember, when we rehybridize, we jump over that 4S and use those three Bs. The line's always too bad if you use whatever those charges. OK, so let's fill up according to our filling up rules, right? So 1, 2, 6, like that. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, OK? So of course we know it's not making just two bonds, and we know that those bonds are 90 degrees or 180 degrees or whatever part. So it must be rehybridizing just once again, another way to remember. And we know it's going to make six bonds, OK? So we need six half-filled orbitals in the sulfur's molecular orbital set. Is that OK? So in order to have six come out, we have to put six orbitals in, remember? So we're going to take the lowest energy orbitals, so the S orbitals, the 3, 3P orbitals, and in this case, two of the three Bs, right?  Is everybody OK with that? We also, of course, need six electrons in order to do this. And we have six. So let's just kind of box in the orbitals that we're taking away. And so we're going to throw those into the blender and hybridize them. So six in, six out. What are these orbitals called? That's B3D2. That's B3D2, yep. So it's just S, P, 1, 2, 3, P, 1, 2, 2, 3. 5, 6, like that. And then we still have these three 3Ds like that. And we're just going to throw in our electrons, according to the rules that we already know, like that. In this case, we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 half-filled orbitals, so we should be able to make six bonds. If you wanted to go further, right? Six bonds, or I guess we should start with the electronic geometry, right? So what would be the electronic geometry of something with six electron groups around it? Octahedral and molecular geometry? Same. It's the same. Why is that? Because in this case, all of those, all of them are bonds, right? Is there any questions on this one? So I think this is probably the hardest kind of one of these problems. But I guess we could do one other thing here. We could show the sulfur and its sp3d2 orbital. And this happens with all six of them, of course. I'm just going to show one of them, because it gets kind of an F with its 2p orbital. So there's your overlap. So that's the 2p orbital that's bonded with the sp3d2 orbital. sp3d2 orbital, sorry about that. So I don't know if there's anything else that we really should try on this problem. Is that good for you? Yep. OK. Any other questions? Sorry. No.


Rock and roll. Live from San Francisco, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering VMworld 2015. Brought to you by VMworld and its ecosystem sponsors. Now your host, Brian Grace Lee. Welcome back, I'm Brian Grace Lee with Wikibon. We're here at VMworld 2015 here in San Francisco, wall-to-wall coverage with Silicon Valley's theCUBE. We've been talking to customers all week. We've been talking to vendors and practitioners all week. Really good vibe all week. But one of the things that we're hearing over and over again, so Pat laid out a fantastic sort of long-range vision, whereas VM, we're going, one of the challenges in the economics and the industry for customers. One of the things that we heard over and over again, though, in the hallway from a lot of practitioners, whether it's from a V-Mug, V-Experts, others, is they say, you know, sometimes all this technology sounds great, the promise of it sounds great, but keeping up with it's really hard. They don't always have time to go to training. You know, change is difficult. And so, today's panel, we're really talking about a couple of really interesting things. First off, yesterday we had a number of the VCs on here. John Furrier was talking to a number of the VCs, really kind of laying the foundation for a lot of XVM where people that had become VCs sort of the new V-Mafia. Well, our panel today, we're excited. We've got a number of startup companies or new companies that are sort of rebuilding the new technology from VM, or outside of VM, where the new V-Mafia. So, I've got Madura Makowski, Makowski, co-founder from Platform 9, Shiv Argawal, co-founder and CEO of Arkan, and John Blumenthal, co-founder, originator at Cloud Physics. Everybody welcome to the show. Thanks. A lot of, VMware's always been known for having great technology.  Talk about, you know, not only introduce yourself, but talk about what your companies do and the types of problems that you're trying to solve that maybe you couldn't have solved just, you know, putting software on premise. Sure, so I'll go first. So I'm Madura Makowski, co-founder and VP of product at Platform 9 Systems. And we started around 2013 or so. I've been at VMware before that for about eight years. And what Platform 9 does in a nutshell is we are OpenStack as a service. So we deliver enterprise-grade OpenStack. But what's unique about our offering is that we package it up and deliver it to our end users as a web service. So it's a SaaS offering. So think of it like your Salesforce or your box. Okay, excellent. Shiv. Thanks, Brian. Thanks for having me here. I am Shiv Agarwal. I am the co-founder and CEO of Arcane. And basically, in the last few years, what has happened is that there's a big shift that just started on the data center side, specifically on networking and security. As you hear about micro segmentation, about virtual networks, SDN. So enterprises have really started adopting those technologies now. And one of the big challenge that they face as they look into these new technologies is it's challenging 20, 30 years of how networking and security was done. And as they look at these new ways of doing networking and security, they are trying to figure out how do they leverage their existing workforce, their existing admins, operators, the existing skill set that they have developed over time to operate these new technologies, right? So VMware and many other data center vendors have thrown out a lot of infrastructure there. What Arcane does is that it simplifies the overall manageability and operations of that infrastructure, which is becoming software defined. Yeah, yeah. And you're helping folks deal with that new potential, but helping them manage across the network, across all that infrastructure. Absolutely. I mean the key is to connect it back to the workload, the compute. So we help understand this new era of networking, new era of security. We map it to how it was done in the classic old days so that we, the existing people, operators with existing skill set can understand it. Then we tie it back to applications that has network and security is changing. What is the impact of it on application? And just as a clarification, we offer both SaaS and on-premise. And because the enterprises who are doing this software defined networks and micro segmentation are large enterprises, and many of them are not today comfortable, and I think that's a topic I'm sure you'll be spending a lot of time on, to send the data to the cloud, right? So the way we have designed it, we enable them to keep the data on-premise. It's fully on-premise model and SaaS, so we give a choice to the customers. Yeah. John, Cloud, Cloud, it's sort of almost a veteran now, a couple of years of being out there. Yes. And I want to ask you guys. Yeah, so we basically have built a SaaS platform that delivers data science to the VMware admin, in a way that is highly simple and very rapid in terms of the time to value to figure out how analytics that are born out of the minds and work of very, very sophisticated data scientists can be put to work for problems that you currently face in an on-premise solution. And using SaaS is very key to delivering that value because it delivers simplicity and a rapid time to that analysis that you just don't see with traditional on-premise management applications where the overhead and complexity of those applications have prohibited getting there. The second part to this that's very important is as a SaaS application, we're collecting metadata from thousands of data centers today, and that creates a mega data set that effectively allows us to train algorithms that we use and harness the insights that they generate on your particular sets of problems. This is exactly what Google, LinkedIn, and all the very large SaaS organizations do with their operational management structures. And so we've mimicked that on the part of the VMware admin. Yeah, and that point is hugely important. I've been on sort of a soapbox for a couple of years saying that while a lot of this new technology is very cool and it has a lot of potential, the challenge is every single company has to build a learning curve as opposed to take advantage of the learning curve of others. And I think if I'm not mistaken, every single one of your companies over the last couple of years has won best of show here in one way or the other here. So that talent that we've always known from VMware is getting out there and you're now taking advantage, people take advantage of it in a different way. They can sort of scale it better. So Madura, talk about the first step that people have to sort of go through in terms of a lot of folks may be afraid of the public cloud because they think about when my data's going somewhere, I can't see it, I don't know where the box is, how do I audit it? But talk about when you're really talking about more of a control plane as a service, what's the thinking that helps them get over going? This makes more sense. Right, yeah, sure. So when we got started with the model that we were presenting to NFI's IT, our model is kind of unique because our control plane is hosted as a SaaS service, but it's still designed for management of private infrastructure. So users, storage, servers, networking, all that infrastructure lives on premise in their data center, but the management here, the control tier is outsourced to us. And when we started, we had a thesis, we thought that about 50% of the market would just completely want to stay away from us for security and control reasons. Or just general fear, you know, it's different. Right, exactly, general fear. But the other 50% would really love us because of the simplicity and out of the box experience that we offer. Right, the reality really has surprised us in some ways. We've been surprised by just how many percentage of customers have been open to our model, just as long as we build that trust between them and we're completely upfront and open about the security of the model and we kind of highlight various aspects of it. So the key things that are important from an IT administrator's perspective is first off, he wants to have complete visibility into where his data is going to live, where the metadata, if any, is going to live. What metadata are we tracking? How are we tracking it? How are we protecting it? Whether ours is a multi-tenancy model, whether we share end users data with other customers, et cetera. So what we do is we have these thorough conversations, we involve the InfoSec teams from the organization, the customer, and completely satisfy them and tell them that your data is probably even more secure with us than you maintaining it because this is our bread and butter. So we go out of our ways to maintain it in a secure manner. Right, well, and I think ultimately that's got to become a skill that every IT, Pat talks about OneCloud at Wikibon, we tend to maybe have some differing opinions on that. I mean, every organization today uses SaaS applications for something. It's HR, it's email, it's other things. You have to know how to interact with SaaS providers, whether it's for control plane or for anything. That's a skill you just got to have. So, Shiv, you're in a space that's being disrupted like crazy.  How do you help those traditional silos see, because now it becomes a little blurred, whether it's a hyperconverge, like talk about what the arch and tools do to give people a better visibility, maybe not what single pane of glass because that sometimes gets a buzzword, but how do you help them in that sense? So ultimately, it's what organizations are and what IT admins are, they are worried about, or they want to get visibility around is their workloads, right? Which is, infrastructure is just a means to the end and as infrastructure is changing, ultimately what will matter is that, is their application performing the way they want to perform? Are the virtual machines getting the right amount of security or not? So, the way we have been able to kind of get multiple teams on board is by showing them a picture, to show them a picture of how, given any virtual machine or a group of virtual machines which might be forming an application, how does compute, network security, all of it come together to kind of help achieve the end goal of that VM, right? So when they see this converged visibility, specifically when you are running converged infrastructure where everything is hidden inside a box and now you see components by components, how they are connected to each other, what's the relationship between them, what's the performance between them, it actually, that showing that picture helps a lot kind of conveying the value, the value prop and the message. So we pretty much our kind of demo does a job when you go into an enterprise and they can see the value right up front there. So it becomes about UI, it becomes about visualization, trying to help them see what that outcome looks like. Right, right, and when we show it, when you show it, you have to show the insights, the analytics as part of it, right? But you don't have to go deep into really, if you get into the weeds of, hey, I need to see the networking data and the compute and security and storage and all, then it goes into a different kind of conversation. Just show them the value, show them what problems will solve, it's much easier conversation. Yeah, John, you know, people tend to think about data science a lot of times with Hadoop and big data and these sort of magical, find a needle in a haystack thing. Help people understand like, how challenging it is to do data science and why, you know, when you're centralizing that and taking the learnings of it, that that power isn't just for data science for the marketing team, but how do you apply that for the IT team? Yeah, so there's some really primary use cases to talk about here in the application of data science and it really starts with what has been discussed here as the importance of the hybrid cloud. And if you start with just the basic decision of the formation of your hybrid cloud, you face a really fundamental decision on how to partition that. What workloads should I actually move? What should I order up from that hybrid cloud? And today, there's really no quantitative way to rapidly and easily understand which workloads make the best sense. And then you face this Goldilocks problem that you're pretty severely punished by if you don't get it right. When you order up an instance from a cloud provider to form your hybrid cloud and you don't get exactly the right size of that instance, you pay for that and you get a monthly bill that really calls out your mistake. So at Cloud Physics, the nature of how we both analyze your environment with what you have locally and using cohort analysis, which is typically used in a lot of data science applications to try to find similar types of configurations that have achieved just the right amount of resource application to make your workload run is an example of one of the first decisions you face if you're going to step into a hybrid cloud. So using that quantitatively to figure out, oh, these five workloads have this type of performance characteristic and this current configuration is such. You can use that output and that analysis that we generate for you to then figure out what exactly you need to order from your cloud provider as you form your public cloud. And that's, it's amazingly powerful how much better in real time we can get, you know? And you got to sort of bridge that gap. You might be buying resources by the hour, but you're getting a bill by the month and you've got to know somewhere in between. Like you said, you may end up getting a much bigger bill than you expected or something along those lines. So I'm going to ask each of you this question. So each one of your customers at some point is going to say, I'm willing to make that leap. All right, I'm willing to let you help me augment my IT, sort of get to that business outcome faster. What is, for the customers that you've got today, what does their world now look like? What do they tell you that, okay, this is, we're doing this differently, we're doing that differently, this is a different outcome, I'll let you start. Yeah, no, definitely. So we see it very clearly with our customers, right? Because our customers tend to be those folks, those IT administrators, et cetera, who have had prior experience with OpenStack. And OpenStack is an open source project and it's very powerful in terms of what it lets you do, lets you transform your infrastructure into an Amazon-like cloud. But it also comes with the difficulty, which is the pain point in setting up an open source project, right? It's extremely complicated, exactly. We famously say that it's a very powerful tool with the manual missing, right? So you really have to figure things out. So our customers tend to be those who've tried it on themselves for some time and then the projects get stalled, the people who set up the projects leave the company, you know, OpenStack expertise is one of the most difficult expertise to hire today. So when we come on board, what we promise to them is that we are the extension of your ops team and we are taking care of your OpenStack cloud. So we're de-risking your OpenStack strategy. And they very clearly see that. So it's not just about the initial installation of OpenStack, right? On an ongoing basis, we provide 24-7 monitoring and management and learning and they absolutely see that big difference. And that's a big deal. It's hard to find a lot of these skills where there's data science, you know, SDN and hyper-converged OpenStack, being able to aggregate that's a big deal. What are you seeing from the infrastructure space around this? Right, so one of the key things that we see is that we still see silos. And we see that there has been like 20, again, 20, 30 years of knowledge, certifications, training which has gone in each of these domains, networking, security, right? So, and these customers clearly see the value of software-defined networks of micro segmentation because it gives them more agility, better security, right? And companies like VMware and Cisco are doing the job for us on educating them on the benefits, right? So they buy into that value prop. Now the challenge internally is that, one, how do they bridge this gap between the different silos? Because if you want to adopt converged infrastructure or hyper-converged infrastructure, if you want to adopt software-defined network security, you have to have multiple teams work. You have to have your networking and virtualization teams kind of in the same room or your security team on board on to how security will be done, right? And I got to imagine a lot of it's just, how much can you get my ROI faster? Can I get that TCO faster? Exactly, and not necessarily taking those teams through the same amount of training and certifications. Otherwise you'll be parallelly creating the CCIE and CCN equivalence in the VMware world and in the software-defined storage world and all that, right? So the whole goal of ARKIN is that, how do you map SDN, software-defined security to existing constructs? How do you enable enterprises with existing teams, existing skill sets to monitor that, operate that? And the way we do that is by providing converged visibility and wrapping it up in a simple Google-like search interface. So what you do there is that, if you want to get any kind of visibility, you can use day-to-day data center lingo that in order to kind of formulate the kind of queries that you are and to get the information you are looking for. You don't necessarily have to know that it's a distributed firewall.  So if you want to say, okay, what's going on between two virtual machines, you can just say, okay, show me what's going on between two VMs. We'll tell you, hey, this is the problem, right? Without going, making you to go deep into a NSX, VMware NSX specific pin dashboard or a UCS manager or a Nutanix specific dashboard, right? So we kind of bring it together in a very abstract, simple way and make it consumption also very easier for this. Everyone knows. Yeah, sorry. John, how much smarter do I get with cloud physics? What's an immediate way I can tell that that data science is helping me? That's, so I think the two emotions that we keep finding with our customers around that are surprise. And anytime you apply data science to any industry, you end up with surprises because you start to see things that you haven't seen before. And there's also an element of pride in that as you start to use cloud physics, you develop a baseline effectively that can be tracked over time to understand improvements that you're making quantitatively. That data can then be taken to your manager and you can actually show quantitatively that I took our baseline configuration and its behavior and look how much more improvement I made off of that fundamental configuration. So being able to talk with data just inherently improves the communication and the rationale for why you're doing certain things. You look smarter. You actually are smarter. I think because you now have data at your command that you simply haven't had in other products. And I think that's really the power that we're finding off of our platform. And it goes direct to the end user in what they do in their daily life. Right, right. So, we're going to wrap this up a little bit. The one thing we really didn't get into was the differing economics of SaaS. And one of the things that I've seen way too many times that I've gone into customer shops, you go into one of the offices and there's boxes and boxes of management software, whether it's network management or cloud management software. One of the brilliant things about the whole SaaS model is it's no longer ELAs. It's I can get a trial, I can get started immediately. I'm going to pay for what I use and you're going to get immediate feedback. That's got to be critical to sort of all your businesses. It let people see what you're doing. We should dive into that more into another session. I think we're going to run out of time here. Real last question, best way for people to engage with you guys. Just messages at platforms 9.6 on Twitter or write us info at platform 9.com. Likewise, we have a booth here. So, encourage everyone to visit our booths, see a demo of our product. We are on Twitter, it's at Arc in Net. And our website has all the information. Excellent. Same form factor you get with any SaaS model. You just go to the site and you download our V app and away you go. Okay. Or work with one of our partners who actually may be engaged with already. Okay, excellent. Each one of you, I want to thank you for being on the panel. This has been very interesting. Great stuff coming out of the VMware community. Great stuff coming out of sort of the V Mafia. Tons of brain trusts coming out of there. Lots of people making really cool things and really changing the way that we're going to engage around this. We see so much cool technology come out. We've got to be able to use it faster. People want to operate like the big cloud companies. You guys are giving them an opportunity to do that, take advantage of the skills. So with that, I'm going to wrap up. Folks, for everything that you've seen here, you can always look at the videos on siliconangle.tv. You can find all of our research on wikibon.com. With that, we're going to wrap up. Thanks again for watching from VMworld 2015. Continue watching. We'll have more all day long.


What happens in seeker's life where they are seeking for almost like the entire half of their lifetime and at one fine day they stop seeking? So what goes through that mind or what makes them just forget everything? It's a very interesting question because it's also something which one sees in many spiritual traditions seekers Not just seekers, they're also finders. They find a lot along the way. They find themselves They get closer to themselves or they get closer to enlightenment, whichever is the path that they are seeking In our case here, enlightenment is not the goal. It's about self-realization about being present here and now and tuning inward and getting closer and closer to the source. So On such a journey also, you will have that situation where people decide that they don't want to continue on that path And what it generally is is that the ego, the ahankar takes the upper hand When people start out on a spiritual path, they do that because either they want to have power over others That's a motivation Or They're just fascinated by The idea of knowing what this life is about, this truth is about knowing themselves Or they take up a spiritual path because Life is just too painful for them and they want to find a way to get out of it So for those that are interested or have that love for the truth Intrinsically They generally don't Leave the journey or Move away from themselves. They don't normally do that. But those that have taken up a spiritual path Because they wanted to escape the pain or because they wanted to dominate others or have power over others Generally are the ones who would then at one point move out of that process Leave behind that process because what happens is that as they Move more and more towards the self and start acting more and more from the truth They also become more and more joyous and more and more strong But on the other hand the ego becomes More and more devious It becomes more and more clever and will try to outsmart Which is why it's very important for a true spiritual seeker to have someone that has the courage to Point out to them when they allow the ego to take over But what happens then is because they have gathered a lot of Shakti a lot of force spiritual force they start to believe that they are actually Able to live life without listening to the truth anymore It's the ego that has taken over and it's so subtle And it comes in such subtle ways and it takes over and by the time the person even realizes what has happened They've already lost all the Shakti that they have gathered over a period of spiritual endeavor That force that strength that they have Is lost so When that strength is not there the ego has already made its inroads. It'll just keep growing and growing and growing And so obviously they are not going to want to continue with the practices that have actually led them to that State of power Also, what happens is especially when there is a spiritual master involved the Master has to point out to the disciple What is standing in the way to themselves so the stronger the disciple becomes the more devious the ego and so of course the propensity not to Listen to the truth within themselves or to the truth coming from their teacher, but to go with the ego And that's what happens especially in the case of people who start out on a spiritual journey Somewhere because they want to have power over others. Those are the most Dangerous motivations and they will always result in the mess But those are some of the pitfalls which have to be avoided One has to be very careful. One has to be alert. One has to be acutely alert Because if that happens and you fall off from that From that track or you slip off that track. It's very very hard to get back on It's more hard than it could have been before Because the ego just won't let you and people like that They say and do such stupid things one wouldn't believe that it's possible that very same person who maybe A day ago did this does something totally Contraproductive and self-harming You know Because it's the ego the ego is Very subtle the more the more Shakti you have the more Power you have You know jathar agni the The agni the fire of knowledge the fire That has come from tapas From the practices the more that fire is gathered together The faster it releases if you make a mistake And the mistake is that you don't go with the truth that you prefer to go with The ego lie And when you go with the ego lie The result we know already That it's over. It's game up. It's like in snakes and ladders But that snake swallows you down and then you have to make your way up again And not always are those ladders there, which were there When you started playing the game So it's very dangerous actually And that is why they advise to do seva Service Spiritual service For a spiritual seeker who wants to know the Truth of this life and wants to experience it and live it It's indispensable Adhyatnik seva. It's indispensable. It's not a question You have to do it And it's very painful and boring and irritating and you don't want to do it and you'd rather go and watch a movie Yes, I understand all of that But that's the fee you pay into life to receive the The nectar of truth Yeah Yes, I had a follow-up question So what happens then seeker has fallen down and that negative circle and that spiral They reached at the bottom of that pit What lies ahead Generally what would happen if a seeker gives into the ego and Stops the practices or doesn't tune in anymore to the truth and really add from that truth The fall is into suffering actually it's into physical suffering it's into emotional suffering it's into conceptual suffering It's suffering all over that energy and that jatharad mean that force and that shakti that has been built up It has suddenly left the system. So obviously the entire system is weakened drastically It's a material thing. It's an energetic Material thing. It's not about I like this. I don't like this. I like this person. I don't like person No, it's about the energy that has left the system suddenly which had been gathered over years of practice sometimes decades of practice And when that happens the entire system is left vulnerable So it will be It will be taken over And there will be suffering in the process And why that is because as A person as a seeker goes on a spiritual journey towards themselves They build up this force and because they have that force within themselves. They're also able to Attract And increase their prosperity physical health emotional strengths conceptual precision transformative ability All of that grows but it's based on the foundation of surrender To the truth being an instrument of the truth So all those gains that come they come because one is in that surrender state to the truth within and refusing The ego lies demands and and insistences and Wantings and willings and hopings and yearnings and pushings and all of that desirings The moment you Stop listening to the truth All that energy goes away that you have built up you can't just Given to the ego and then expect that everything's nicely going to be in place. No It's like you've replaced the foundation with something else And so everything crumbles And that other thing starts to determine what you're going to experience in this life, you know So there is suffering That cannot be joy. There will not be there is no way There just cannot be Because sometimes seekers think oh now I've learned this much now. I know what I have to do I know what I have to do. That's the ego immediately. You can know that that's the ego speaking Because you only know what you have to do if you tune into the truth I don't know anything I don't know anything It knows I am in surrender to that This this this is in surrender to that and when this stops being in surrender to that Then this faces life because this Is not anymore An instrument of that of the truth But has become an instrument of the ego And then it comes and it comes fast So It's a decision if a person wants to just go through life without actual conscious transformative process or They want to take up a transformative process But if you take up that process, then you've taken it up You can't just expect to stay with all the energy of that process but not continue the process It's like if you pile up money in a bank And then you just write a check A blank check to your enemy. They will just Take all that money out. There's no way that you can say well, you know I have that money in the bank. Now I can deal with the enemy and nothing will happen Even if you don't write that check the enemy will fish the checkbook out of your bag And write a check to themselves. That's how it works So it is a decision which has to be taken Seriously and taken for life You know, it's not a joke Knowing self and especially when you've had the experience of that impulse of source Self realization you better respect that experience and hold on to it. It's not going to hold on to you You hold on to it in surrender in humility Bending down always in surrender surrender surrender. I am the instrument of the soul. I'm yours. I'm yours.  No It's the soul the source You belong only to that. You don't belong to a family. You don't belong to a country. You don't belong to a nation You don't belong to anyone or anything. You don't belong to moralities and ideas and and religions and Systems you belong to that source And if you mess up there, then of course The bank account gets emptied out and you'll have to build it up again And it's not as easy because you don't have The tools anymore because you've lost the energy You have to find the tools again and you have to build it up again. That's why it's so important to hold to the truth And when seekers have practiced for many years Suddenly they start to get this feeling that they know what's going on and they they understand everything. They don't They only know what's going on when they're in touch with the truth within themselves If they are not in touch with that It's not going to happen and often what happens is that they feel that they are in touch with the truth because they don't want to Go with what their own truth is telling them. They don't want to go with it. So they create a truth which is Actually a face of falsehood. It's a very delicate thing.


So in this game it does seem like there's a lot, a lot more recipes, food-wise. Um, I'm excited to play around with that a little more. What's happening to Chet? Ah, Chet's going crazy, hello? That's an amazing, how am I saying, Monday? I am so excited, I forgot what day it was. I should have put on a better outfit. I'm, here I'm wearing my usual red cape. I could have put on my good one. Hey, uh, I love that they have a red cape also. They're very, uh, very like me in that way. Felt a kindred spirit. But they're, they're going home right now. Okay, that's it. That's where we set our scene. So, ahem. Dearest Darling Palm, we hope you're taking care of yourself wherever you are. We're preparing ourselves for our own journey, a last adventure in this mortal realm. This just got really dark. Oh no. Oh no, I thought we were just going to have a fun time cooking and crafting. Um, oh no. If you're able to pop back for a visit, we'd love to see your face one final time before we depart for heavenly unknowns, your loving parents, mommy. We had such good energy. We were, we were all so hyped. We had that raid. Everything was going well. Everyone was in such a good mood. And then this happened. I have certainly embarrassed the staffs in front of, Stuffy, I'm sorry. Pail looks the same as ever. Nothing seems to have changed, which means the restaurant must be me. Must be what? I've been watching over the restaurant ever since your parents left. Oh yeah, they left this for you. Show me a trust fund. If you're reading this, it means we've already left Pail. Okay, um, I'm sorry about our tickets for a trip around the world. Awesome. Okay. Uh, they were really expensive. Yeah, I would, I would imagine they're expensive goodness. We couldn't afford to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity before retiring for good. The advertisement said it would be a heavenly experience with never before seen places in this mortal realm. Oh, like a supernatural vacation. I like this. We'll be back soon. But in the meantime, please take care of our restaurant for us. Okay. Since you asked nicely, you did say please. And you've always taught me that, uh, manners are important. You're loving parents. Mom and dad. Mom, dad, you must be joking. Also, wait, uh, what happened to all the furniture? I asked myself that question a lot. And the answer is we made bunk beds. Duh. Didn't they tell you they sold most of it to pay for their trip around the world? What? I'm sorry. What? They sold our furniture? Last time we fought bread. This time we will make bread. Hey, I boxed myself. And I was just kidding. Yeah, you tried. You tried. You tried so hard and clock so far. But in the end, you're going to be fried chicken. It's so silly. But what if I put food in the safe? You, my first egg. You always remember your first egg at a restaurant when we're big and booming and everyone in the world knows about this place. I look back on you first egg and I'll think, yeah, you were there for me. You always believed in me. Is that a fridge? No. Come on. Hang on. Stop. That looks like a safe. No. Now I have to check. Hang on. Is that? No. Stop. Stop it. I mean a fridge is a food safe, basically, right? Yeah. Let's see. Can I drop you? Yeah. Discard item. Can I read? No. No, I can't. Okay, good. No problem. Might have spoken a little too soon. Oh my gosh. They made the saddest sound. I feel so bad now. Please don't make that sound. Please don't make that sound again when I'm harvesting ingredients from you.  No. Let me. Let me cook. Let me cook. Cook yourself a meal three in the morning or stood in front of the food safe, eating shredded cheese out of the bag. You haven't lived.


John, I want to ask not about the games that we have right now in the postseason, but some offseason news for some other teams. And there were reports yesterday that Damian Lillard is looking to get out of Portland. It's been speculation all around this offseason. And when you see those reports, what goes into the process of possibly putting up odds of where Damian Lillard might play next year? Yeah. I mean, look, I think the, you know, probably start by looking at teams that, you know, need somebody like Damian Lillard. Um, I think it would be an interesting market to potentially look at trying to get up. I know it's, you know, one that we can potentially do in Colorado. So now that I'm back in the office today, I'll try and get around and see if we can get a market on that and get a feel for where we think he might land. But yeah, effectively looking at, you know, what he offers and he's a special talent and putting him in a team that are ready to win a championship, I think makes sense. So you've got to be looking at, you know, for example, Milwaukee would seem like a perfect fit for Damian Lillard.


Good morning. Thank you very much for being here this morning, the day after Cannibal celebrations ended. So it's really good to see everybody looking so bright and alive, especially Mr. Jabatis. So thank you very much for being here. I'm actually quite delighted and want to recognize the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance to recognize the senior minister and recognize the Attorney General and of course Mr. Todorov from the TTS Resorts and Sir Dwayne Jabatis legal counsel for TTS Resorts. Today is a very significant day for us. It represents the signing ceremony for the construction of the Grand Hyatt Resort which will be built in Sousel. It's a project which has been for a very long time on the landscape of St. Lucia. Actual first intent for construction started in early 2016 and of course the hotel has undergone its own challenges and revisions and change of developer and of course in 20 July 2021 with the change of government we engage the developers with a view to bring in finality to the discussions on the construction of the resort and for us to be able to establish a very clear pathway to ensure that the resort is built and brings the benefits that we expected to bring to St. Lucia and the south in particular. We commence discussion with the developers and shared our thoughts with them on how some of the outstanding issues that exist can be resolved and to make way for us to move forward. There were issues with the construction of the bypass road. In the last engagement the suggestion was that the government of St. Lucia would have paid for the construction of the bypass road in renegotiating the arrangements. The developers have agreed that they will provide the financing for the construction of the bypass road and we are deeply grateful to them for that acceptance. Of course you would recognize the tremendous financial difficulties that we face at this time so it's a major concession on their part and showed the commitment to St. Lucia as a destination and the willingness to work with us. There were some issues with the rental rates for the Queen's chain and we were able to again come to an agreement where I believe both parties benefit from the arrangement that are put in place. We had extensive discussions on our plans for community tourism and how the result can better link with the community of St. Roselle which as we all know has tremendous potential for community tourism and I think in speaking to the developers they were super excited by how they can work with us to enhance St. Roselle as a community tourism destination and in fact they have shared ideas with us and if I've indicated to us they fully prepared to sit with us to share even more ideas as to how we can develop the community tourism experience in St. Roselle. For me what was probably most exciting was when we had discussions with the Hyatt Corporation discussing the proposed project we met them at Chris in Miami the Caribbean Hotel Resort Summit and they indicated to us that they were really looking forward to the construction of the Grand Hyatt and it is going to be the flagship resort for the hosting of conferences and events in this part of the region. As you know mice is a significant part of the tourism market and they see the Grand Hyatt and they were really excited by the design and what has been proposed for St. Roselle. So we are equally excited and we certainly told them that the government was giving full support to make sure the project goes ahead. We also had discussions with the developer as to the design of the hotel to make sure that the design of the hotel is reflective of the personality of St. Lucia and the personality of St. Roselle and I was able to see some of the latest designs and it would be really really fantastic when the resort opens and it shows in its full glory how it is laid out and their core and the designs would really be a plus for the community in which it is built. So I think we've had some really good discussions with the developer and we're prepared to move forward. But of most critical importance for us is the engagement of the local community. We all know about the sensitivities of the use of our beachfront now. We need to find the right balance between you know preservation and conservation as well as utilization for the development of our country. We know historically there have been issues with various interest groups and we have resolved that we are going to ensure that there's a proper engagement. The developer has agreed to do a social impact assessment which I think is going to commence very shortly where there will be engagement with the local community and to get from them what their views are as to how this hotel can impact them. In the contract that will be signed today the Prime Minister insisted that we include a commitment for public education and engagement with the local community to talk about the result with the community and to let them know how they can benefit and how we can impact them and that's really critical. We cannot be you know building hotels and resorts and leave the communities out of it. We have to show the communities how they can benefit from it. So at the end of the day I think we're very happy with the agreement that we're going to sign today and I want to personally as Minister of Tourism and also for investment thank the developers for their willingness and the accommodation of our numerous requests and I'm certainly happy that we can sign today and formally start the process of you know the execution of the project. So thank you very much Mr Todorov and of course Prime Minister for ensuring that we can reach where we are today. So thank you very much. Ministers it's an honor to be here today and a great pleasure to be back in St. Lucia. It's a pleasure for me each time when I come to your beautiful country. Thank you for all for being here on the day immediately following the carnival. It's an amazing event and please accept my congratulations to all the government that you managed to do it after two years of COVID and the restrictions that all the societies have gone through. It was great to see the people back in the streets and the people enjoying themselves tremendously. I saw it briefly I'm very sorry about it I should plan better the next time. The only thing that I'm that has been in my mind ever since yesterday is how to try to expand this event and then bring it down south especially after the resort hopefully is going to be complete in a couple of years time. This was a great process that we went through together with Dr. Heller and his ministry and I appreciate your support all through it. I'm very happy that we finally managed to find a good compromise on how to proceed. It is our policy as a company. It has always been we do the same things everywhere we work. We are grateful to the community where we have our properties because it is actually the community that has let us do business. So we always insist on working together and it has always been our policy of trying to give back to the community for the support that we will need because regardless I mean a hotel is a living organism. Hospitality is something that needs the people around the resort to be supportive in order to provide the best of the quality for the client. We are very excited about this project. We have been ever since we started it a couple of years ago becoming the new developer of the project. As Dr. Heller rightly put it the project has undergone some changes. There was a change of developer. There was also a change of the management company. I think that Hyatt is a good choice especially nowadays with the development of the management company going more into Malaysia and the stress they put on the Caribbean as a destination worldwide. We have the full support of Hyatt International in this respect. So I'm sure that once we get to the past the signing of the agreements but to the more concrete work we will be able to welcome dignitaries from Hyatt as well to the island so that they can they can prove their commitment to the success of the resort. I'm very excited about the mice and I'm quite happy that we have the support of the government in this respect. This is going to be a change for the image of St. Lucia. So now you boast and rightfully so of being the most romantic destination in the world. I certainly hope that very soon St. Lucia will become a preferred destination for meetings and incentives and this is bringing a new crowd to the island. I'm certain that it's going to be the benefit to the benefit of the country itself. So I'm grateful for our cooperation so far. We will need your support as a government as a country further on in our endeavors. We cannot do it without you so I hope that we will be able to prosper together. Good morning senior minister. Minister for tourism, deputy prime minister, attorney general, council. When I became prime minister and the minister of investment I said to him that I'm not going to sign or proclaim any investment until I'm sure it's going to happen. So it took me it took quite a bit of convincing for me to be here this morning because I wanted to be sure that everything was in place and a few years later I will not be accused of signing things that did not happen. But I met you and I am speaking to you, I'm speaking to you and I'm convinced and I'm very happy and pleased to sign the agreement because I am convinced that something is going to happen. It's going to happen basically for our industry, our tourism industry. I want to thank the minister for being very cautious in what he agreed to because basically the philosophical position of the government is that the benefits of tourism must accrue to as many people as possible and that has found itself into what we call village tourism. And to start in shows there or to continue that process in shows there is very significant shows that is rich in culture it is our is basically the place where there's quite a lot of handicraft and craft very talented people in shows there and to start that start such a hotel in shows there and to add the nice the nice which is meeting the incentives so there's going to be a good fusion between shows there and was there so I'm very happy with that. I'm also convinced speaking to you that we actually will start next year and starting next year is important and ending as you said by the end of 2024-2025 the people of shows there will be very happy for that. There is new you know we are in very trying times and then I'm very happy that this is is is the third investment the food investment in the industry that we are signing on to about to be started and you're also going to start next year and I've tasked the minister to be at least three more so his job is very his job is very demanding and I and I always want a little more from him. So I want to thank you for showing the confidence in Saint Lucia. You will be allowed free rein to run your business. All what the government will do is a government will ensure that the people of Saint Lucia are not disadvantaged but you because we want any investment you want the investor to have a fair return you want a worker to get a fair wage and you want to country the benefit that that is all we ask for. We ask for nothing more. So I look forward to to the the real opening of the result and you said it should happen 2024-25. We're looking forward for that and any any support that you need we know you have to do some some road work. That's why the Ministry of Infrastructure is the senior minister so ensure that he knows what's happening and we can work together. We will have an approach where we will work together to make it happen. Saint Lucia will be pleased because investment is back. We began to see that some some investment happened as I said this is a third project. Two have started and this one we've signed the stages and I'm told like a few more should be happening. So we're very happy the country needs investment. We have an unemployment situation where Saint Lucia have many talented young people who need to work and so and the only way we see the main way is through the private sector and we will create the national incentives, the national environment, the interoperative business, free from interference but all we need is fairness and equity. So I thank you very much and look forward to


Hi, welcome to Above Life Channel. I'm Bridget. Today I have a wonderful afterlife conversation with two very beautiful, let's just say that because it's the truth, two very beautiful people. This couple actually went into the afterlife together and I just spoke with the mom, mother-in-law, and she recommended I speak to them next. So I am. Welcome to Above Life Channel, the purpose here is to inspire your spirit and fill you up with hope. I hope that this interesting conversation does that for you today. Please help me welcome my guest today from the afterlife, Mr. John Kennedy, Jr. and his beautiful wife, Carolyn Beset Kennedy. Thank you both so much for joining me today. I really do appreciate it and I feel like we're kind of doing an actual more formal interview. They came and they sat down.  He's got a blue tie. It's a lighter blue tie, not a royal blue light blue tie. It looks like some white and a little bit of gold in there and maybe a little bit of gray stripes kind of at an angle and she actually has what looks kind of like a white, an ivory colored kind of a dress. A little bit of a silky kind of a soft kind of a dress and there's like a layering piece over the top of it that's really long like almost down like past mid-calf and it's like a lighter. It kind of comes just mid-arm up kind of a sherry covering kind of over it and again it's like an ivory color. Very beautiful. Thank you. She says thank you. She's got long hair. It's a little bit wavy. It's blonde but it looks a little golden kind of colored, a little golden. Almost red but not red. That's not the right way to say it but a little golden. And then she is, she, one of the things I noticed right away about Carolyn is that she has a necklace that is significant. She's pointing to a necklace and I can see it. It's not just a round necklace that comes down in there.  There's a shape. It's not square. It looks different than that to me when I'm looking at it and it's significant. Just a simple beautiful necklace. Thank you. She says thank you. I'm looking at her wedding ring too and it looks pretty big. Good job John. Very nice. But it looks like it's either platinum like it's silver. It looks like a little bit around the edges and then in between I can kind of see gold. I don't know why I would see the gold unless it's reflecting off something else but it kind of looks platinum or silver. I'm assuming that's the wedding ring or the engagement ring. It might just be a gift ring but it's something significant so we're pointing that out as well. Okay and something. She has a piece of jewelry from Jacqueline from your mom. She just acknowledged that. I have jewelry from his mom. His mother gave me something after we got engaged. She gave me something. Okay thank you. All right. Beautiful. Yeah the necklace was a gift. I don't know if it was from John or from Jacqueline. All right so I have to start off by asking you this question. John this question is for you. Did people call you John John a lot?  He laughs. He kind of straightens his the pant leg of his kind of right knee. His right leg is crossed over kind of at an angle laterally across his other leg and and his wife's kind of close to him and they're holding hands and he kind of straightens the knee of his suit and he says good question. Yes as you would expect. Right. Okay so I also get the impression of you playing football. Did you play football? I tried to catch a football a few times. Yes you could say I've tried to catch a football a few times. You know that runs in the family. Right.  Okay so uncle like Robert it looks like Bobby yeah yeah yeah definitely you know they just they kind of let you have it you know and so he's like sharing like he feels like happy fond memories of childhood growing up around the big family so big family is that that's something that you just that's all you knew right yes he said yeah and uh he said but she didn't he's pointing to Caroline and he says um or Caroline I'm sorry Caroline Caroline okay because I don't know if I should call you Caroline or Caroline Caroline okay Caroline Lynn Lynn is the she's distinguishing Lynn LYN Lynn okay um he said she didn't and then she's kind of saying yeah she kind of looks down she said it took some getting used to you know who she reminds me of you guys the viewers um uh like her or don't like her however you take it she kind of reminds me of Gwyneth Paltrow that's kind of the look she has to me a little bit of that but she feels very different she feels much more she feels uh authentic approachable and very much in love with her husband actually you two do feel like lovebirds they do they really do feel connected but John you were saying that Caroline you did not have a you did not have a big family no small much much smaller than John's for sure okay but we want but you wanted a big family the two of you she says but we wanted a big family the two of us we wanted a bit I would have been fine with you know maybe two or three children but he wanted like five you know so we would have had to and then John says we would have had to negotiate that I would have we would have definitely had to negotiate that and all right so how um all right I so John you your love life as a person you dated a lot of different famous people and such and you were considered like a major bachelor in fact I think I remember one of the magazines I don't know if it was people or time or something um considered you like the ultimate most successful bachelor or something like that I don't remember but I remember that like you being single and and the the women in your life that you dated I can actually see one but I can't think of her name she's the same woman that I think actually oh gosh I can't think of Michelle Pfeiffer is it Michelle Pfeiffer um and okay so but when you met Carolyn how how did you know I guess how did you know that she was the one you know that was going to marry you you know that kind of a thing and Carolyn did you know like that he was the one that you were going to marry and and did you have any reservations about that because of all these other women and such you know let's be let's be clear on that um and John says um I think I'll let you go first I'll let you go first they feel very much I love you guys okay so Carolyn says she says it's sort of she's likening it to um when William and Kate got married in the United Kingdom she's likening it to that where they knew each other they were in the same circles or not that far out from each other and so when they had the opportunity to actually meet and really connect then it just sort of happened it just seemed she's saying it just seemed very natural very very natural for the two of them to be together and she's saying it seems like when it seemed like when we were together we were it was just normal it's like it had always been that way and um he kind of says and not he says and he interrupts and he says and not like an old married couple he says don't say that don't call us an old married couple oh I want I want um I feel like you guys got married quick I feel like six months or something and he says well I loved her I knew I it was just it was just different with her it was this is John speaking and he says it was easy it was very natural it was very comfortable and she's beautiful she's very beautiful it was just all there all the parts all the pieces all the things that you might want it was just all there you know he says and he just looks at her like very adoringly they dare very much in love and so okay so I'm gonna ask you I feel like you were pregnant um Caroline when you died is that true she says yes yes I was and I don't know if that's public I'm assuming it would be but I don't know I feel like you're pregnant she said yes um and I know you died in a plane crashed together and I feel like it was very windy is what it feels like to me like the weather was very windy and it feels dark I don't know if it's dark because there's a storm I feel like there's a lot of winds and I feel like it's by the ocean I feel like the plane is being pushed and like a gust of wind and it pushed the plane and you couldn't gain control and I feel like I think you're in the water I think you hit the water is what it looks like to me um so I it's important here at above life channel to give the viewers the understanding of your perspective about transitioning into the afterlife that's a really important part of of the videos so that people can understand about death and the transition between the difference between life and then afterlife so can you both of you share with me um either together or or individually what what was it like um did you know you were going to die if you can dial back to the time right before um the plane crash did you know you were you were this was it this was done we were done Caroline says or Caroline I'm sorry Caroline trying to say it right Caroline says it was there wasn't much time she says there was not much time there wasn't much time really to think about anything and John was just doing his best to try to gain control of the plane and the altitude was affecting the oxygen level and so there was kind of a almost like a lightheaded confused state like in the head so she's saying there really wasn't a lot to feel I mean there there is fear like you're you're afraid because you know that the situation is dangerous and you're you know you're I was aware she says I was aware that we were going to crash and he was just trying to you know manage things and would not give up until he he never gave up John never gave up he was very brave never gave up and I don't know that there was time to really think about anything to process any of that and John how about you it's like she said he says it's like she said I was just really I was trying desperately to gain control back to get the instruments to work to get the plane to respond and it just was not whatever I did nothing was responding it was like there was no it's like there was no power at all but yet you could still hear the the the beeps and the noises like I he's there he's there he's making me hear the the things and the the cockpit and stuff but right all the way until the moment that everything ended everything stopped I was trying to I was just focused on gaining control of the plane so I didn't I didn't have any time to think about any of that so once you entered into the afterlife can you talk about that what that was like and then she says she looks at him and she says well it was it was dark at first it was dark everything was just it's like all this noise and chaos around you and then all of a sudden it was just quiet and there was just like this dark darkness and not not like not um not to be fearful not to be afraid of dark the darkness it was simply a like a soothing almost like a piece it was just everything was quiet and still and and dark you couldn't see anything there was nothing that that's what I felt that's how I felt but I knew I we weren't alone I knew we were together and I could feel him right right with me like almost on top of me on the side you know just like really tight I felt him with me I felt him as part of me and I'm not sure I can't speak for you and how you feel she says to him he says I was just very aware that all I wanted was to know that you were with me that you were okay that you were that you and I were not separated that you were not taken from me that's what I that was my my first feeling was you was on Carolyn and she was right there I mean it took like a second and I then I felt I didn't feel as though I didn't realize that I was with you around you or as part of you but I felt as though I felt big bigger than I had been in my life I don't know it's hard to describe I felt big like I felt like myself as a big presence and then I felt you as the small this the small sliver of light that's what it felt like to me like you were this little sliver of light and all I wanted was to not let you go I didn't want to let you go and my biggest fear would be to not be with you to die without you or to have you die without me and so this is the way it sounds rather poetic I I recognize and I don't want to to romanticize death in any way but this is what was meant to be for us and the two of us the three of us together I recognize that it's really sad I mean it's really probably quite sad to think about this and I don't and I know my mother has such a difficult time with it and I would never have wanted to cause her any more loss or grief than she had suffered in her lifetime herself she's a very brave woman I had a lot of respect I have a lot of respect for my mother very brave very strong woman and I know that this caused her a great deal of pain but I hope that there is comfort in knowing that we were together and our family was together and that is something that will just always be eternal ever after it will always be it's interesting to listen to both of you and your different views of the moment of the passing of the transition because Carolyn when you said everything was like you did you saw this darkness and then John describing that he felt big I'm feeling like he was like the shadow or this incredible figure in the darkness like he described feeling really really big so he maybe was the darkness trying to protect you and to him you were the light and I think that's so beautiful and then you said that you could feel him all around you as part of you anyway like there was no separation ever at any point and for him he just felt so big like his desire to to save you and to be with you and to make sure you were okay was so powerful that he just overshadowed all the light that you had and just enough was there so that he knew that you were okay individually as a spirit and then you too could merge or just be one that's how it feels to me the way you described it I think that's incredible but again I also agree it's not to romanticize death in any way shape or form but to give some kind of comfort to those who who loved your family John especially you know and to your friends also to both of you to your friends and and those who are fans and such as well so I think that this will give a great deal of comfort to them to know that as well because you know John I mean we sure could use you here in the United States in the political system oh that's a good question before I wrap up I mean this was such a great conversation and thank you both so much for being here John would you have run for office would you it was politics something that was on your radar and he shows me writing like he likes to write and he likes political banter you know he likes to study politics and he likes the the back and forth and the engagement and the the system okay he says something specifically about the two-party system he's not necessarily he says I'm not necessarily in agreement with the current political structure or the two-party system myself which is pretty much contradictory to what my family believed created and continues to work for the people but and in service and I have cousins and lots of relatives who are in in the public service now who are public servants and yes I think eventually it would have been my path it would have been something that I would have chosen for myself I I could have chosen for myself if I had been asked to run for office I think I would and of course I'd have to ask my wife to make sure that it was something that our family we wanted for our family but I think free speech is something that's very close to my heart and the opportunity for many voices to be heard and through our our political system in the United States of America we are very much a country that is proud of our voices and that is a piece that I would most certainly stand up for and through my writing and publishing that is definitely a piece that would be a common theme for me and so you know it's hard to predict the future when now it is different you know there's not I'm not I don't have a human life to look forward to at this point it's hard to say what would have happened what could have happened this is the simple quite simply this is what is but had things been different yes it my life could have taken that course it kind of seems like it's faded in the stars as a Kennedy doesn't it it certainly does seem like that is a predetermined destiny and I think my little sis my big sis it's funny he's showing me I know in my brain that that Caroline is older than you but you're calling her your little sis were she were you quite a bit taller than her you must have been because it's kind of a joke it seems like kind of a joke like he's nudging her my little sis I think she can handle herself just fine I think she can carry on the family legacy if if she chose to do that but that's her choice like we never felt pressure growing up I know that sounds kind of unusual I can say that I never felt pressure from my mom maybe some of my dad's side of the family but not from my mother she always impressed upon us to be the best people we could be and that our country was important and we should be in service to humanity as a whole and as Americans that was our we had a lot of privilege to be able to have so many rights that we have and to make sure that we appreciate those things and give back when we can but she never impressed upon us mom never impressed upon us to that we had to be in political office so that we had to be in public service there was not that kind of pressure so if that comes out if that comes out for my little sis then she that's her choice and I would be very proud of her for standing up for what she believes in and she always was like that anyway she was kind of she was always kind of bossy anyway so I think she could handle herself just fine so that's what I would say about that that is incredible thank you both very much so this is above life channel and you have been watching a channel discussion

What up, fellas? It's your boy Johnny. Summer is just about out, and the best season for fashion is rolling right through. Fall or autumn, depending on where you live, is my favorite season only when it comes to looking fresh. I'm on Mr. Beach, longer days in the summer vibes, but we can replace that with green chili, pumpkin spice, and fashion taste. So today, I'm gonna give you guys my top essentials for the colder fall and winter seasons. First item up, we got my favorite piece for the colder seasons, the cotton oversized crewneck sweatshirt. Now personally, I will always go for the more, you know, post-breakup colors. Your dark grays, mustard yellows, and navy, because that piece is gonna take up a ton of real estate on your body, so you're gonna want to stick with not so bold colors. Now this piece is from Talentless. As you guys know, I've worked with them before. It is a bit pricey, but honestly, it is worth it for the quality. I've watched this a ton of times. It still feels like new. But if you want to save a ton of money, check out the champion crewnecks, because their color is on point. Or if you're really trying to save some money, pick up a golden one from Amazon. I mean, just look at that price. I always like to style it with a pair of skinny jeans and or a reverse layer contrasting shirt underneath, and I stick with oversized because it's in. And I also like to encourage others, you know, just try it out. Because no matter what your style is, an oversized crewneck sweatshirt is such a great essential piece to diversify your wardrobe.  We hit it, bro, you lift. I mean, I've definitely gone through that phase before. But once I stop caring about trying to flex for others, trying to press people about my physique, you know, I ain't even that big. But just try it out though, and maybe you can breathe a little bit. Next essential for this upcoming season is do what nature does. Die. Was that the right line? Nature changes colors during the fall, and that's what you want to do with your wardrobe. Just like spring and summer is for pastels and bright colors, fall is the earth tones, your deep oranges, your maroons, and pretty much any dark or black piece. So this applies to any garment or sneaker. For myself, cream sneakers and hoodies are my favorites. While I'm always feeling any type of olive green bomber or cargoes and black anything, except for black Air Force ones. If you guys have not seen my color blocking video, first off, why would you do that? And second, it is linked in the description below. This is the season to understand color blocking. So honestly, if you haven't seen that video, check it out. Because we all know this upcoming season is the best season for layering, mixing colors, and trying out new aesthetics. The next fall essential is an essential all year round, but it isn't too important because it could get covered up by your layers. And I'm talking about your accessories. So yes, your necklaces, bracelets, rings and all that. It's a must all year round, at least for me.  And that's why it's a must have. But since it's going to be colder, you can experience with other accessories outside of what the standard is. So recently, I went to White Sands with my boy Christian, as you know, Frugal Ass. And he was rocking this tactical belt with a wingspin on it, and it was clean, man. And I'm sure all of y'all have probably subscribed to this channel, but if you haven't already, check out my old roommates page, Fire Content. So because of that, I just searched on Amazon for some cool pins. And I found these geometric mountains and this geometric style bird. You know, I grew up in Albuquerque, and I live here right now. And this city is known for the sandy amounts. And growing up as a kid, I made a ton of paper cranes for the ladies. And that's why I feel like these pins really suit me. So when you guys look for these type of accessories, make sure those accessories suit your lifestyle and your personality. If you're six feet tall, 130 pounds, don't cop a fitness related pin. You know, it's like the vintage cheese in 2015-2016. 14-year-olds were rocking these Metallica T's and don't even know who they are or listen to their music. I mean, at least play Guitar Hero 3 or something. But anyways, keep it themed based off you. I also like these bell chains because it adds another touch to an otherwise empty space. And if I'm not on that, a bandana is a great accessory as well. Just make sure you research your area for colors that might get you shot. Now, if you live in san Andreas, avoid the ballast colors.  Now with that, I keep it simple with a solid color and one that is long enough to dangle because if it can dangle, it's also long enough to cuff. So you're gonna add that different look. I'd avoid the heavy branded ones like this one right here. Don't lie. You want to want as soon as you learn how to ollie. There is an endless amount of accessories out there. Just do your research. Next up, I guess this is kind of considered an accessory, but it deserves a point on its own because I think this is a great way to add to your look for the fall and winter. Long crew socks.  It's still all over Instagram, but honestly, I should have let this go a long time ago. So crew socks are a great way to color block and add texture to your outfit. For this outfit, I wore these yellow stance socks and color blocked it with this purple graphic tee right here. Purple and yellow are complimentary colors and it makes for a pleasing balanced look. Now, if you aren't feeling that bold and amazing look is cropped pants, a pair of white crew socks and your band's old schools. It's always look good to me. And if you don't have any cropped pants, you can do a DIY or you can just cuff your pants over your crew socks. Amazon is the best place to go. If you want to cop a variety pack of crew socks, I know I shop on Amazon a lot, but that's definitely the move for fall and winter. Last but not least is truly the essential for fall and winter. A simple go-to hoodie. A hoodie is to fall what a bacon, egg and cheese and an Arizona iced tea is to New Yorkers. Simple can never go wrong and never gets old. A hoodie can always be worn by itself for a simple minimalistic aesthetic and it could be the piece that ties everything together whenever you layer. My favorite hoodie is this light gray creamish hoodie. Literally goes with everything. Varsity jacket. Check denim jacket. Check leather jacket. Check. Now, this is a pricey hoodie, but for real. Invest in a quality hoodie. One that has some weight to it and that won't shrink. Now, I got this hoodie from All Saints for a hefty price, but like my crew neck from Talentless, I've watched it a ton of times and it has not shrink at all and it still feels like it's brand new. And whenever you invest in a quality hoodie, over the long term it is worth the price versus buying a bunch of new hoodies every year. This one I can rock for years down the road. So if you're gonna pick up a hoodie, I definitely suggest a cream one.  You guys can check the links below for hoodies that I would recommend. And also any other products I mentioned earlier.
