How's everybody doing? Good. So before I start, a real quick show of hands. How many of you are, like, sysadmin, operate an OpenStack infrastructure cloud operators, OK? And how many of you are, like, managers of a group of people that run those? And how many of you are neither of those? What do you guys do? What are you doing here? No, I'm kidding. Are you developers? Developers? OK, cool, all right. Awesome. All right, so I just wanted to gauge who's in the room. Thanks for coming. My name's James Lobaki. I work in product management for solutions at Red Hat. And I want to spend a little bit of time today walking you through what we call the infrastructure migration solution, give you a little bit of background on why it is we're doing what we're doing, and then show you guys a live demo, spend more of the time, I think, on the live demo, and then answer any questions. So I don't intend to take all 40 minutes. I'll probably take 30, and then let you guys get some coffee. All right, so first off, just to summarize why it is we actually are doing what we're doing. This is just a little bit of background. What we are finding in most of our customers is that they're actually, this is their IT spending. It's a report from Gartner called Grow Run Transform. There's a technical conference, so I'm going to get to the technology very quick, but just hear me out. The big problem a lot of our customers are facing right now is that 11% of their budgets are being spent on transformation, and 70% are being spent on maintenance. So in a context of OpenStack, I'll ask it this way, you guys all, how many of you are running OpenStack-based clouds today? OK, so the majority of you. How many of you have virtualization outside of OpenStack that runs in your environment today? OK, so the 11% is what we would consider transformational with OpenStack, and the 70% is what you're probably spending on the existing virtualization footprint potentially outside of there, spending that's going on there. So the question is, how do we actually help you increase that 11% to a much larger number so that you can, instead of spending all this time maintaining your existing footprints, you can actually transform? And this is basically what we're finding is that customers get in these sequences where every few years they're renegotiating contracts with licensing, software licensing, particularly with proprietary vendors.  So maybe they get an incremental feature here and an incremental feature there, but their costs continue to rise much faster. And so the problem that we're intending to solve with the solution, and that I'll show you, is allowing customers to break that cycle. In other words, we can give you increased capabilities, increased capacity, and at the same time, we can level out your costs. So this is the intention of the migration solution as a whole. So what I do want to talk about is that this solution for migrating to OpenStack, and really, we have a solution to migrate you to basically a KVM-based virtualization, whether that's OpenStack or a scale up virtualization platform, is a journey. And so I want to walk you through what this looks like and then take you through the technical aspects of how we actually mass migrate virtual machines and then give you guys a demo. So the first aspect is what we call a discovery session at Red Hat. This is essentially just a one to two day session where the people from our organization that have done these migrations before come on premise sit with the application owners, the change managers, system administrators, and ask a laundry list of questions. So there's a templatized kind of questionnaire that we go through. It primarily focuses on the workloads, understanding what workloads are running in your existing virtual infrastructure, then understanding the requirements. How are they monitored? How are they backed up? How are you performing your day two operations? With that discovery session, there's a number of things that come out of that. But one of them is actually an approach document that actually shows how you can begin to migrate. So an approach document doesn't necessarily always mean you're just going to simply lift and shift your virtual machines from one vendor to OpenStack. It could be that you want to refactor your application into microservices and actually begin to re-architect the application. Secondly, we have a migration pilot. So what this pilot is, it's an eight to 12 week pilot that is led by our services team. It'll stand up up to 16 hosts of OpenStack and get it up and running with day two operations. It will configure the migration framework that I'm going to show you all. And it will actually migrate a subset of those virtual machines with you. So we'll show you exactly how to use the migration framework tooling and make sure that you know how it works. And then third is this migration at scale, which is ongoing. And this is what you'll do afterwards with the support of a Red Hat support organization. So we've had several customers with tens of thousands of virtual machines that have wanted to migrate away for the purposes of cost savings and the purposes of moving towards a more API-centric infrastructure in OpenStack. This started probably four years ago, where we started to see the demand for this. We worked with a very large financial services company to do this four years ago. At the time, it was entirely services led. So this meant that we actually had to build all the workflow and all the discovery of the virtual machines. Everything had to happen manually. And when you have 70,000 or 100,000 virtual machines, the return on investment is still there. You can hire somebody in services to do this and actually get a great return still for migration. But as you start to go to smaller and smaller virtual machines, it didn't make sense for our customers to have a consultant on premise for two years migrating virtual machines by hand.  This way, you can discover your existing virtual machines, you can migrate them, and then if you have a failure, you can call Red Hat for support. All right, so without further ado, how does this work? So the predominant platform that we support, migrating virtual machines for them, obviously VMware vSphere, right? Largest virtualization footprint on the scale up virtualization side from a paid standpoint. So the way this works is, again, as I mentioned, the customer, yourself, and a Red Hat services person will actually sit down and do a discovery of this, discover all your virtual machines. So this is a business-level conversation that happens, what's the uptime requirements, all the different requirements you would have around an application and a workload running on VMware at the time. And then essentially what we do is we architect our Red Hat OpenStack platform to make sure that it meets those requirements of those workloads. And it should be noted that sometimes we may look and say, hey, 10% of your workloads, you're just gonna leave where they are, you're not gonna migrate them, or there might be another platform beyond OpenStack that you need to move to as well. Then what we do is we deploy Red Hat CloudForms. So how many of you have heard of Red Hat CloudForms? Anybody? All right, so quite a few of you, but not all of you. So Red Hat CloudForms is a cloud management platform. We acquired a company called ManageIQ in 2012 now. It's six years ago. And when we acquired ManageIQ, similar to how you have RDO and the upstream OpenStack, we have ManageIQ, which is a cloud management platform, and we basically sell a subscription to Red Hat CloudForms, our cloud management platform. CloudForms is actually included with Red Hat's OpenStack platform, so it's not additional fee you have it if you have Red Hat OpenStack platform. And so what CloudForms does as a cloud management platform is it has a concept called providers where you can essentially add multiple providers. So it supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat virtualization on the infrastructure side. It supports OpenStack, the OpenStack under cloud, the infrastructure. It supports Azure, GCP, AWS. You can add all these providers and it basically goes out without agents and discovers all the assets in there. So all this discovery happens without any agents and you can actually do introspection of those virtual machines that are running for, in this case, in this example on VMware. So I could see all the way down to the process table, the MSIs, if it's a Windows box that's running on it, the users, all the information you need. This is really important because our consultants can actually use this information and you could use this information to understand which VMs you wanna migrate. So you can look in there and say, let me see, show me all the VMs that have SQL server on them, maybe we'll leave those, show me all the ones that have Tomcat, maybe we'll try and move those over to OpenStack, so on and so forth. So you have CloudForms, it's deployed, and what we do is we'll extend the VM networks from your VMware environment into your OpenStack environment. So the VM network in OpenStack will map to your OpenStack environment. Then what CloudForms will do is it will reach out to OpenStack. So let me pause for a second and just preface this real quick. So the technology I'm gonna show you today is actually all upstream. I figure it's okay, this is an OpenStack summit, right? And it's gonna be shipping in January. So what I'm gonna show you is an alpha, but you could pull it down from our upstream, and then in January it's gonna ship with OpenStack. So what happens is you wanna convert VMs, what you need is conversion hosts. So how many of you have heard of the tool VertV2V? Anybody? All right. So VertV2V is a tool that's included in Linux, and it basically converts VMs, right? It takes your VM from one image format to another, it'll replace the para-virtualized drivers, take care of any kind of tooling that you need installed. So if you wanna move from VMware tools to a QEMU KVM based agent in there, you can do that. So VertV2V gets installed in the OpenStack environment, and it gets installed via a conversion host. So a conversion host is a small image that we run inside of your project on OpenStack, and CloudForms basically can communicate with that conversion host. So we only need one instance of CloudForms, but you can have conversion hosts in each of your projects in OpenStack. So you could say, and per project we'll spin up a conversion host, and that conversion host is basically going to then talk to the VMware environment. I'll show you that in a little bit, kind of step-by-step, in a little bit uglier diagram that's a little bit more technical. So what's important though is that these conversion hosts, you can actually then, in order to talk to VMware, there's a couple of ways you can do it. You could certainly use SSH, so you can actually SSH to there and convert the VMs off of the ESX host via SSH, over an SSH connection, I should say. You could also use something called the VDDK. How many of you, does anybody know what the VDDK is? All right, it's the VMware Disk Library basically. The reason we actually pointed out here is it's proprietary, so we can't ship it with our software, otherwise we run into all kinds of problems, but you pull it down from VMware site and Ansible. There's actually, we have an Ansible role that you can execute on these hosts and it installs the VDDK for you. So now you have a conversion host running and you're ready to go.  The first concept is something called infrastructure mapping. So in order to execute a migration, we actually start to map the VMware infrastructure over to the OpenStack infrastructure. So in this case, we map clusters in VMware vSphere 2 projects in OpenStack. We map data stores in VMware to a Cinder backend. So this would be which Cinder volume type, for example, you wanna use. And then on the network side, which provider network you want to migrate the machines to. So you basically can build multiple infrastructure mappings inside of CloudForms.  So a migration plan is then how you're going to execute the actual migration. And here you'll see that the migration plan, you select the infrastructure mapping that you wanna use because that's going to inform which machines you can actually migrate. So what this is doing is making sure that once someone has created the mapping, you can only migrate VMs that will have the ability to migrate between those resources there. And then you execute the migration. So I'll walk through kind of step by step what happens there. But that essentially will then allow you to start migrating those virtual machines. So if you wanna take a little bit more of a technical view of this, sorry, it's a little faded for the boxes on here, a little washed out. But the user in step one would go in to CloudForms and basically configure the infrastructure mapping and the migration plans. When they actually execute it, what happens is step two, you basically, you know, CloudForms reaches out to VMware and begins to orchestrate the shutdown of those virtual machines. That's actually all happening with Ansible Automation underneath. So CloudForms uses Ansible Automation for the automation functions. And then what'll happen is you see the conversion project over there on the right hand side will actually reach out and basically talk to the ESX host and then begin converting this data store, the VM that's the disk that's sitting on the data store that will get converted directly to a Cinder volume.  It's running all the proper drivers, so on and so forth. And then CloudForms reaches out to OpenStack and provisions the virtual machine for that and then connects that Cinder volume to it and basically mounts it up and runs it. So pretty straightforward, makes sense so far. All right. Okay, so one thing I just wanna mention is that, you know, what we've built is pretty prescriptive basically maps networks, data stores, and compute to projects, volume types in Cinder and provider networks. We find a lot of people asking like, can I also do X, can I also do Y? We have purposely built in pre and post playbooks, playbook support so you can leverage any Ansible playbooks for automation that you've built to do things. Like for example, if you wanna take a VM out of a load balancer before you move it, a load balancing pool, if you want to fire off an email to someone, make an update to a change management database or an IP address management system, you could do that there. So with that, you all look like you might have had a good lunch and not enough coffee, so I'm gonna transition to the demo. That's okay and then we could kind of open it up for questions. Can you all see this fairly well? Good. All right, so what you're looking at inside of CloudForms is the infrastructure mappings page. So this is the Cloud Management Platform CloudForms interface. There is a whole lot more than just migration inside of here but we're zeroing in on migration. Previously you would actually just go in and set up the providers to put your credentials in for vCenter, put your credentials in for your open stack tenants and all those sorts of things. Wait a second, that's why. We're at the end, that's not good. That would have made for a really short demo. All right, there we go. There's the full CloudForms.  So you're gonna go to compute and migration and click on overview and the first thing again that we have to do is start mapping our infrastructure so we have to map those two together. So you're gonna hit create infrastructure, mapping and we're gonna name it. So in this case we're gonna migrate VMs from VMware to OpenStack so we'll go ahead and name it VMware to OpenStack and call this our default mapping. You'll notice that the target provider supports Red Hat Virtualization and Red Hat OpenStack platform so we'll select OpenStack is where you wanna migrate to and then the mapping is gonna begin. So here we're gonna grab our OpenStack cluster on the left-hand side, sorry our VMware cluster and map it to our OpenStack project. Second, we're gonna map our storage. So this is the data store inside of your vSphere cluster here and you're going to map it to the Cinder volume type that you wanna migrate it to. So you'll select those, add a mapping and then you'll map your networks. So here we have the VM network and you'll select the provider network. So one thing to note, we don't support tenant networking here. So we are leveraging provider networks. The majority of the people that we've spoken to when mass migrating VMs are not using potentially tenant networking, although it's something we wanna add in the future. So you go ahead and add a mapping for that and hit create. It's pretty straightforward but you'll see now we have an infrastructure mapping created from VMware to OpenStack and we can, if you click on that it would actually expand and you can see more details about it. You can edit it, delete it, all the things you'd expect. But in this case we're gonna go back to the migration page and now you'll see we can create a migration plan. So I'll create a new migration plan. You have to select the infrastructure mapping. So since CloudForms has discovered, let's say several hundred virtual machines in your VMware environment, in order to limit which VMs you'll be able to migrate and know that they will succeed, we actually, that's the whole point of having an infrastructure mapping. And then what will happen is you can actually choose to run, select your VMs from a list of VMs or you can import a CSV. So a lot of times customers have a large CMDB that they want to import VMs from so we'll have that as well. So you go in, in this case we're gonna choose, so we'll hit next. And since CloudForms knows about all the VMs on my VMware cluster they show up here. Only the ones that I could actually migrate. So here we have a database server and a couple of web servers. The thing to note is that when we hit next it's actually gonna take us to this instance properties. So what's happened here is we can actually set the security group that we want it to migrate when we migrate that we want it to be set into. And you'll notice that there's this little open stack flavor box. What happens here is CloudForms has a little bit of intelligence about the open stack flavors. So it's gonna choose the open stack flavor it thinks is best based on a very non-complex algorithm. Closest match, right? And then, but you can choose a different one. So if I actually wanted to migrate this to a large I could choose it here and then it would know what size to spin up to match and mount my Cindervoin to. So in this case there was a customized flavor called conversion host that someone created and that's what it's gonna migrate to. And you'll notice that little asterisk by the extra small. That's just indicating that that's too small. So if you select that you're actually not gonna get a very good experience we're assuming. Or you might because maybe they provisioned too much on VMware but. All right so you can select that here and then from here we can actually hit next. Well I think we've changed the security groups to web servers for two of these. And then I can go ahead and hit next and I'll get my advanced options. So in the advanced options you'll notice that you could select pre-migration playbooks and post-migration playbooks. So again you could then, and you could actually pick which ones you want to be on each server. So some of them let's say for every database server you wanted to run a playbook that queases the database and takes a snapshot you could do that here and actually have those done. So in this case we're not gonna do anything we're just gonna straight shut them down and run this. So again you could start the migration immediately or you could run it later. If you select run later you will then basically be given the ability to schedule it as well. You'll see here. So at this point we'll close this and you'll see I have my migration plan that's created. You can see that it's using the VMware to open stack infrastructure mapping. You can see there's three virtual machines in there. And then you could either schedule this for a later time or you could migrate it. These are also available via API so if you're using something like ServiceNow, Remedy, some ITSM system and wanted to give the application owner the ability to decide when they wanna migrate you could do that as well. And then from there we'll hit migrate. So what's gonna happen when you hit the migrate button is that flow that I showed you. CloudForms is going to reach out to vSphere. It's going to shut down the virtual machines if they're running. It's going to collapse the snapshots. It's then going to call the conversion host in the tenant that was there. And it will begin to convert those virtual machines via vert v2v and map them directly to a cinder volume. And then once that's, by the way, it'll also inject the correct pair of virtualized drivers, all those different pieces. And then it will actually, so you'll see here all three of them running and migrating at this time. And then what'll happen is this will, once that's finished through the magic of Hollywood, we are speeding up time. And you can see that those are converting here. The nice thing about this, you could actually mouse over the info button here. It'll show you the exact log file with the entire vert v2v output and all of those pieces right there. So if you have an issue, you could just pull that log file, send it to us. You could download the log straight from here as well. We've been doing a lot of work around some of the performance work. We were working with a customer in Latin America that's in the migration process. And they actually, they were using vert v2v standalone and some of the performance tuning that we did here. They said they saw a 10x performance improvement in throughput. Not only that, but we're now running these in parallel. So the way this will work is, I'll wait for this to finish. Each conversion host is limited right now to 10 VMs concurrent migrations. So 10 VM migrations at a time. It's a fairly arbitrary number based on some performance testing we did. You could, but you could spin up multiple conversion hosts. So if you wanted to do like a massive amount of VMs at the same time, not that I'm recommending this, but you could certainly pull that off if you wanted to. So we basically scale by conversion host for migrations. So here are the migrations have completed. If you were to go over to your open stack environment, those would be running in the tenant that you've now mapped over to there. So, all right. Let me see, let me see. So, let me, I told you I'd be fast. All right, so real quick. If you are interested in learning more about this, whether it's the low level V2V tools, the Ansible playbooks, all the way out to cloud forums, the business justification and business creation for why you'd want to migrate, all those different pieces, I would encourage you to reach out, just send an email to migrate at redhat.com. Somebody from our team will respond, whether it's upstream contributions or help with something that you might think is silly. We'd love to hear from you guys and know how we could work together to help move more workloads towards KVM and open stack. So, with that, let me, I guess, open it up for any questions? Questions? The question was can you move workloads between open stack solutions? Now, why would you want to do that? Open stack is great. I'm just kidding. So, no, that's actually a question we get very, very often. So a lot of people want to do this. Maria, who was here in the talk earlier, we've been discussing that. We think there might be some opportunities for that. So it's something we're exploring. We haven't done yet. As a first priority, we were trying to get workloads onto open stack and then between there. But there are a lot of partners of ours, I would say, as well. Companies like Highstacks, for example, that do replication of workloads that we have worked with in the past as well. And our services team also can help with that as well. So this is the productized. This is shipping in January. Our services team built something like this that basically they were calling it the migration factory at Red Hat. And it did most of what you saw here. It just didn't have support and a nice, as nice of a user experience as we built here. So it's still very possible to do that using that. Does that help? Yeah. So related to that, what about if you want to move a workflow from AWS to open stack or vice versa? Or even GCP? Yep. So migrate at redhat.com. I'd love to hear about any platforms like out. So right now the supported path is VMware to Red Hat virtualization, VMware to open stack. In our roadmap, we are actually going to take this to, I don't know, have any of you heard of the project called KubeVirt? Any, anybody? So KubeVirt is a Kubernetes project for running virtual machines. And our goal is actually to support migrations to KubeVirt. So you can actually migrate your workloads, still running on KVM, but orchestrated by Kubernetes. But outside of that, we've had a lot of requests for migrations from cloud stack, migrations from AWS. To date, we haven't really committed to any of those platforms, but I'd love to hear about the demand and what's going on. Or if you guys want to contribute, we'll take your patches. Thanks. Yeah. Let me get him real quick. I'll come back. Yeah, go ahead. That's me. What's that? Hey, the question is, is there any option to do this migration without any downtime? Yeah, it's a great question. So no downtime upgrades. Short answer is no. And the long answer is there is a lot of work that we have in the Virt V2V tool to minimize the downtime by doing some replication. There's work happening in, there's been a lot of work happening in change block tracking in upstream Linux and that sort of stuff that we're driving. So we are working on things. We don't have any intention of having zero downtime, but having minimized downtime is a goal of ours. Thank you. Yep. What's the story about rollbacks? So if, for example, one VM fails to migrate, is there an option to rollback back to VMware, for example? Yeah, it's a great question. The question, it was a little quiet, was what if one of your VMs fails to migrate in that migration group, what do you do? Well, the short answer is you don't panic.  So we don't delete the VMs off the source side so you can restart them.  Any other questions? Yep. Yeah, yeah, it's a great question. So the question is, if you have tags like, or characteristics of your virtual machine like CPU affinity or DRS rules or things of that nature, do they get taken into account? Again, this tool is really about mass migration and conversion of the disks. At this point, it's not in scope for us to do a lot of those extra, you know, kind of mappings, but that's where the pre and post Ansible playbooks come in. So if you needed to set CPU affinity, we would expect you to do that through like an Ansible playbook. The reason for that is there seems, one, we don't have a good grasp on how many workloads are using what at this point in mass. So we're trying to allow for a stable way for you to convert the VMs as a first step. But I think as we go, if we see there's a large amount of workloads with a certain pattern, we would certainly start to add it into here as well. Any other questions? Great. Well, I will be here if you have any questions for the next 10 minutes of my time. I intend to fully use it. I will just stand here. But also, thanks for coming. I would, you know, I'd love your feedback on it. And again, if you email us at migratoredhat.com, if you own OpenStack, you'll get this feature in January from Red Hat OpenStack platform. I'd love to hear how it works, how it doesn't work. And we could partner together and make this, drive some more workloads to OpenStack, yeah? All right. Thank you. Thank you.


On the show this morning, police begin probe into reverse explosion. Balarabai Abbas collapses during screening for ministerial nominee and also will be looking at the headlines on some of our national dailies on off the press. Very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on the breakfast. My name is Nyam Ghul Aggaji. It's always a pleasure knowing that you are there and watching us. Today is Thursday and we hope that you are thinking about business because on Thursday we remind you all the time whether our topic has to do with business or not to think of business. When you have to earn that extra income into your pocket, into your bank account you know that you have to start a business. Whatever it is, let it be legal, let it be wholesome, let it be something that someone can copy and do as well. But like I say in business, you need to collaborate with a lot of other people. So if you are going solo and you want to grow bigger, look for people of like minds and collaborate with them. Do a partnership and you will grow. Even if it is farming that you have to do, if you go alone, you might be slower than you want to be ordinarily. So look for a partner that you can collaborate with and do that business and blow them. You don't have to wait for the government all the time and you don't have to make one thing suffer for the other. So look for something, especially when you are thinking about tech. A lot of things are happening, you work remotely. So when you are in your office and you have time for lunch, you could just use a part of that. Some people do it for 5 minutes, for 10 minutes and they are still getting something in return. There are a lot of things that are possible these days even from the comfort of your home. Once again, welcome to our show this morning. We are starting on a very sad note that a pregnant lady and another person died as the driver fleeing from LASMA officials rams into a tricycle. Now two persons, these are the details of the story so far that we know, two persons including a pregnant woman have died while others were injured when the driver fleeing from officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority that we know as LASMA, rammed into a tricycle around the Agor Palace way in the Ocota area of Lagos State. And the spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Houndain, described the Tuesday incident as ugly and noted that the injured are being treated in an undisclosed hospital. The driver fled from LASMA officials when they accosted him for driving against traffic. But the two fatalities of the incident to children are also currently receiving treatment in hospital. According to Houndain, following the incident, a mob attacked the policeman attached to the LASMA team and he was grievously wounded in the attack which at the time of the statement was still unconscious and being treated in hospital. Houndain however said a probe into the matter had begun. And there are so many things that arise from this story. We do not know why the person took one way and it is so wrong every time it is wrong to take one way. Like I said on the show the other time, also the people who are in charge should know that there should be designations of this one way so that people get to know. I'm not saying that this person was ignorant of that fact. Another thing is that the authorities themselves drive one way. So who is to hold who responsible for things like this when they happen? We show bad example and when you show bad example if you're a parent at home you see that a lot of things that your children do, they just do them out of the fact that they've been seeing you do it. So whenever we are arresting people for one way we should also be mindful of the fact that if people who should be showing good example are driving one way there is a mechanism that we can use to also arrest them. Everything has been so abused in Nigeria that you hear a siren instead of people clearing the way for this siren we know that 90% of the time it's for nothing. Just someone, maybe a madame, a madame of a gas wife going to the market and you're blowing a siren for her or just two people, two policemen or just the driver in the car or in the truck and they're blowing sirens so that people clear the way. They are taking one way, they are doing so many bad things. Now people are copying and all that. So I'm not blaming one person. I'm blaming the person who took the one way. I'm blaming the agency that should sign, show sign in the policing case that was the case that this person didn't know. I'm blaming also whoever has been taking one way whether you are in government or not. A lot of people do this. I'm blaming everybody. The society has failed these people who have lost their life. A pregnant woman. And that means that that's more than one life. The woman and the baby inside and then another person who died as well. So at least three people have died in that incident. Whatever the fault may be, first of all, we pray that the people whose life have been caught short will find rest in the bosom of the Lord. And the people who are responsible for this accident happening, whether they be Lasma or the police or the driver himself, whoever is still alive and is supposed to face the music, should face the music. Why would police be or Lasma be in pursuit of someone until something as terrible as this happened? Not too long ago, last year or the year before last, there was an incident around Grammar School or Bega, or Molly Grammar School they call it, around Bega Axis or to do Bega Axis. The same thing happened. Lasma officials and the police, the combined effort were in pursuit of a very big truck and then it had an accident at that place. A lot of people died. People were burned to death. A lot of people were injured in such a bad way, some of them died in the hospital and all that. Why does it always have to be this way? You're in pursuit of someone. Is there no way of catching these people without having to put their lives of people who didn't even know anything about it at risk? The authorities should look very closely into this. We know that there are instances where numbers are just taken by special cameras that do that and then at any point in time where this person is stationary, you can just nap the person. Well, I don't know how this works, but it should not be a thing in Nigeria that any time we hear of accidents, sometimes it's because the authorities, the supposed authorities are in pursuit of someone and it's running away from them. And why would you run away from the law in the first place? First of all, you are at fault. You should stay and answer it. But you also know that sometimes these people just do what they should not do.  But we do hope it will not happen anymore. Then there are four people who have been arrested over the murder of a former customary court of appeal president. This is coming from Benwell State, where the police have arrested these four persons in connection with the murder of a former president of the customary court of appeal, late justice Margaret Iweta, whose decomposing body was found on the 24th of August, 2023. The commissioner of police in Benwell, Bartolomio Onyeka, who disclosed this while briefing journalist in McCurdy said, the principal suspect and nephew of the late justice, Mr. Aoudou Joseph, orchestrated the murder.  According to the police officer, Joseph enlisted the services of one more man who worked in cohort with the driver and gateman of the late justice to gain access to her and stabbed her multiple times in the chest. While speaking to journalist, the principal suspect said he now regrets his action, which stemmed from the refusal of his late aunt to hand over land, land title documents, that is, belonging to his father to him after many failed family interventions. Remember, the father had died and according to him left a lot of properties. So he then resorted to self-help, killing the deceased justice to remove the documents from her home in McCurdy. Whatever it is, whatever the provocation, it should never, ever lead to the killing of someone. Why not struggle on your own? Why not just say, I leave it to God? Because in so many cases, that is what we say in Nigeria. Godday. Your political leaders are doing something to you and you cannot ask the question. You say Godday. Your neighbor is doing something to you. Your wife is doing something that is not good enough and instead of you to act in a legal way, maybe do something very, very legal. Let me still use legal. Go to court, recall your senator, for instance, do one thing or the other. You say Godday. Godday in a poor man prayer. That's what we say all the time. So why not say Godday and look elsewhere, pray hard, work hard and succeed rather than killing someone? So now the title documents, will you get them? I'm asking the person if he could hear me, but he cannot anyway. Will the person get the documents now that he has been caught? Well, he will not get these documents. So why not just do the right thing, leave everything to God, or sue the person, even though you may feel that you might never win this case because the person in question is a person of the law. But you should just do the right thing and leave the rest to God as it is. Now you've been caught. Then the gate man is culpable. Another man maybe who is a heat man is there when the relation of this judge. So we never know where our enemy is coming from. God save us in this country. And not just in this country anyway. I'm not saying Nigeria is the worst country in the world. There are some others that are worse than ours. But also Godmen have kidnapped five Katzena University students. That's the story we have carried also. Katzena State Police Command on Wednesday confirmed the kidnap of five female students of the Federal University, Dussinma. Now the police also confirmed that a man suspected to be an informant of or to the terrorist had been arrested. However, no details concerning the incident were provided as of Wednesday morning. The spokesman for the Katzena Police Command, ASP Abu Bakali, you confirmed the incident and the arrest as well. So residents revealed that the terrorist invaded the private residents of the victims around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, shooting indiscriminately. Residents also claimed that all the five kidnap students were female and were final year students. Only a few students were also seen on the main campus as many of them had just finished writing their first semester examination. A 200 level computer science and information technology student, Abu Bakali, was reportedly killed during a brawl with other students over a female student. And six students are currently being detained in connection with the incident. So a lot of things have been happening. One of the kidnapped varsity students, the report was that, from some of the witnesses or people very close to the incident, they said that the people came with very sophisticated arms and started shooting and then kidnapped these people. And what is the authorities doing to make sure that proliferation of these arms is something that is taken seriously because there seem to be a porous way, a porous kind of system that allows these kind of arms to get into the wrong hands. And unless something is really deliberately done, it will continue to be a problem. No matter how many guns the federal government buys, so long as these other people most times are having more sophisticated weapons than even the people who are the people authorized to keep the law, then we are going to be having these problems. Who is the person supplying these people? How can this channel of supply be cut? So are we going to be buying bigger guns than them, or are we going to make sure that there's no gun that is available to the people who can perpetrate this evil that they're perpetrating? We have bandits on the one hand, we have terrorists on the other hand. We have robbers, we have one chance that has become a thing here in Lagos these days. All the time when you are listening to the news you hear one chance, you hear robbers, you hear this and that. Lagos State is one of the safest states in Nigeria. It should stay that way. So whatever needs to be done the authorities please do your best to do it so that we can sleep with our eyes closed, travel at any time of the day and know that we are safe. Lagos is a time, or it's a city that never sleeps, that's how we like to describe Lagos. So we should never have a time that we cannot travel because or cannot move from place to place because of fear, of one chance or one thing or the other that might befall us on the way. It's still a break fast on Plus TV Africa, we're just telling you some of the things that we were concerned that came up on the news and right now we're going to take a short break hoping that when we return we'll be looking at the headlines on our national daily. Just stay with us.


Trisha Payness made a lot of people mad today when she came out as trans, which makes us ask, how can someone be capable of doing something like this? There actually might be a scientific explanation for it. Yo, yo, yo, if you're in a good mood, you're gonna love it. Isn't that the fun part, though, about dating someone with like borderline personality? You don't know what mood they're gonna be in. Are they gonna be happy? Are they gonna be mad? What is up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I try to do is take different topics going on in the YouTube community, and I try to look at them from different angles than other channels are. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And if you're not yet, follow me over on Instagram and Twitter at the Rewired Soul. So many of you know that with each of my videos, granted they get monetized by YouTube, 20% goes to a different charity, and I try to tie it in with the topic of the video. So in this video, seeing as how Trisha Payness is doing her thing, we are going to be donating 20% of this video to the Trevor Project. All right, the Trevor Project is an amazing organization that is dedicated to helping LGBTQ teens. All right. So I will also provide a direct donation link down below if you want to donate to them directly. But I would appreciate if you shared this video so we could donate a little bit more to the Trevor Project. All right. So what happened?  I'm going to link it down below. But yeah, you heard it right. She came out as trans today. All right. And yeah, I've had a busy day and I was receiving a lot of DMs, a lot of DMs asking me if I was going to talk about this. And yeah, I hopped on Twitter and I saw Trisha Payness was trending and I'm like, all right, let's see what's going on. Now, before we jump into what was happening on Twitter, I need you to write down two numbers. I need you to leave two numbers down in the comment section below. All right. I have a question for you about empathy. On a scale of one to 10, how much empathy do you feel that Trisha Payness has? All right. One being absolutely no empathy, 10 being just extremely empathetic. All right. So scale of one to 10, write that number down, put it in the comments below.  How much do you feel you have? On a scale of one to 10, how empathetic do you think you are? Again, one is no empathy at all. 10 is you are just the most empathic person on earth. All right. We're going to come back to those numbers later. But anyways, let's check out some of these tweets. So this first one from B says just open YouTube and saw Trisha Payness say she identifies as a trans man because she finds gay man attractive.   No effing words, just crickets. The next one says F Trisha Payness. If you support her in any way, shape or form, then block me right now. And even our good buddy, I never chimed in where he said Trisha Payness is the reason I stopped eating McDonald's chicken nuggets. She put a weird vibe on them. Oh, also because I'm slightly overweight, new video tomorrow responding to the kitchen floor cry baby. So then I was curious, I was like, how is Trisha Payness responding to this? All right. So this first one, this is from her tweet about the video. And it says this would be more funny if girls weren't being killed for disclosing this fact.  I'm a joke. Men can wear dresses, heels and makeup, you know, clothes minded and ignorant. Then Vicky Vox actually retweeted this and said that report this tweet using gender identity as clickbait is a privileged act of violence. I'm not going to stand for it. I don't care what it's actually about. The headline and photo use cannot be serious.  Big nope. Trisha replies, you don't know me, my journey, my struggle, my transition. I've been with a gender identity therapy specialist for the past six months because I hated who I was since I was three. Think before you tweet, this is more harmful than me sharing my story. And her and Vicky Vox had one more back and forth sharing your story. Not you're trying to sell clicks and tickets. Do you? I pray for the most benevolent outcome for your journey.  So harmful because I don't look like a traditional male. I'm a joke. I pray no one judges you the way that you are judging me. I've been hospitalized three times this year. You do not know my struggle.  So we have to ask ourselves, why? Why would she do this, right? Why does anybody do what they do? This is something that I'm regularly thinking about. And again, like I showed in the intro, she said this in a previous video. Isn't that the fun part though about dating someone with like borderline personality and like you don't know what mood they're going to be in. Are they going to be happy? Are they going to be mad? So I just finished this amazing book right here by Simon Baron Cohen The Science of Evil. And yes, if you're wondering, I was curious too when I started this book, Simon Baron Cohen is actually cousins with Sasha Baron Cohen. You know, Borat? Yeah, interesting. I was like, oh, maybe they just have the same hyphenated last name. But anyways, excellent book. I will link it down in the description below. But the biggest thing to note is that Simon, who's been researching this stuff for decades now, he doesn't even really believe in pure evil. The way that he describes it in this book, and he dives into some of the science behind it as well, is empathy, right? Having a lot of empathy or lack of empathy. He actually uses a scale of one to six. But anyways, to explain some forms of lack of empathy, he talks about zero degrees of empathy. And then he talks about zero negative and zero positive. So zero positive, he refers to people who have Asperger's or autism, all right? So although people with Asperger's or autism, they struggle with empathy and reading other people's emotions and things like that. Like there are many, many things that people with autism or Asperger's contribute to the world and they do amazing things. They have a very systematic mind and it's awesome, right? But then he talks about zero negative people who have empathy. And there are a few different categories that fall into this, all right?  He talks about psychopaths, sociopaths, as well as people who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. All right? And again, Trisha Paytas said this. Isn't that the fun part though about dating someone with like borderline personality and like, you don't know what mood they're going to be in. Are they going to be happy? Are they going to be mad? Now, through Simon Barron Cohen's research, as well as collaborating with other scientists and neurologists and things like that, they discovered that there's actually an empathy circuit, all right? In the brain.  So part of the empathy circuit includes the anterior insula, the amygdala, the caudal anterior cingulate cortex, the dorsal slash ventral medial prefrontal cortex, the frontal upper column, inferior frontal gyran, inferior parietal lobule, inferior parietal sulcus, middle cingulate cortex, orbital frontal cortex, posterior superior temporal sulcus, right temporal parietal junction, and the somatosensory cortex. All right. So what is this talking about? They have done fMRI brain scans for people with different diagnoses and they see that these various regions of the brain involved in the empathy circuit do not function properly, all right? And this can help us understand the lack of empathy that some people have. Now, like we've shown, Tricia Paytas says she has borderline personality disorder. The question is, how does somebody get borderline personality disorder? All right. So according to some studies, they say this, 40 to 76% of people with BPD report that they were sexually abused as children and 25 to 73% report that they were physically abused. So while there is a good deal of research that links childhood abuse to BPD, there is also evidence that about a third of people with BPD report no abuse. So if borderline personality disorder is a result of abuse in many cases, all right, and a lack of empathy is the result of borderline personality disorder, can we really blame that person? Now that you've answered that question in your mind, I want you to go back to the question that I asked you at the very beginning of this video. On a scale of one to 10, how empathetic do you feel that you are, right? So many of us feel that we're extremely empathetic. But when we learn stories about how people become the way they are, we completely lose empathy for them. And that's something else that's very interesting in this book is about how normal people are able to switch off their empathy all willy nilly, right? Like wouldn't it make sense that we're empathetic towards people that developed certain mental illnesses because they were abused and things like that? Like when I was working in the treatment center, I met so many people, so many people that became addicts and developed different diagnoses because of childhood abuse, right? And then just seeing the stigma that's around them, it's like, yes, yes, what they do sucks. And a lot of it is a lack of empathy. It's cruel. When I was in my active addiction, I was a liar, a cheat, a thief, you know, and all these other things. So here's my question to you. All right, you can answer it in the comments below, or you could just answer it in your mind. I just want to get wheels turning, all right? Although there might be a reason that mental illness came to fruition, and we also have to remember that genetics are a component as well. At what point does a person take responsibility for their own healing, right? At what point does a person have to learn and educate themselves about their diagnosis and, you know, get help for it, right? So something that I was taught seven years ago when I got sober was although there were reasons I became addicted to drugs and alcohol, it was now my responsibility to start changing my life for the better. You know what I mean? So these are just things I want you to take into consideration. Moving forward when you see these types of stories, all right? But anyways, that's all I got for this video. Don't forget, please share this video, 20% of all the ad revenue is going to the Trevor Project, all right? But if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And a huge, huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon, as well as everybody who supports the channel by buying my books, by merch, and all that other stuff. I thank you so, so much. All right? I'll see you next time.


Hey everybody, welcome back today to Retro Tech. I've got a Sony KV Consumer Grade television to go through with you. This is the KV13TR28. Now this is a U.S. model. Now this one is a pretty basic version of a Trinitron consumer set. It doesn't have a lot of inputs on it. It only has two composite video inputs. One of those is being on the front here under this swinging door. And then we've got one on the rear of the television along with a coax input which would be used for RF television. Now there is a mono speaker on this side of the television right here facing me. And it is pretty dirty. This one was donated to me by a fellow Patreon member named Romere and his friend. They came and dropped off some CRTs to not only be serviced, but we've also got two other consumer grade TVs to look at later. So thank you for that. Let's go over some of the information on this television. It does have a high black Trinitron tube inside. It is a 13 inch viewing screen area. It does support a remote control. I don't have the actual remote which is the Y116. I have a Y137A from another Sony Trinitron television from the same time period. And it works with this television. And that will be very handy because you do need a remote to get into the service menu on these televisions to make any kind of adjustments to any of the important geometry or other settings within the board. This TV does have a full service manual which I will put a link to in the description of this video so you can find out more information about it if you happen to own one. It does have the ability to be modded for RGB because it has a jungle chip. And that is something that we will possibly look at. But today we're going to look at how it works. And this is again the first time I've pretty much used this. It was donated to me so I haven't really messed with it at all. I thought it would be fun to come in here, show it off to you. The first thing you will notice is this one is very dirty. It's just got a lot of buildup of dirt and the screen has almost like a film on it of kind of nastism. So we definitely want to clean it up really well. But even before that I thought we'd go ahead and test it. And for the test I've decided to use a Sega Genesis Model 2. And that would be, you know, time period specific for this television. So it makes a good match. They both came out in that early to mid 90s. And so this would be an example of something that you definitely would use on this television. We're only going to be using it in straight composite. So I'd like to go ahead and just power the TV on. And we'll get an idea for how this looks and works as we power it on. Now initially our screen has come on here. We're in video input two which is the front input. And I'm going to use just the remote control to jump to a different input and go to TV video. And that is our RF. And then I'm using the other one on the back which is video input number one. And we've got our TMIOS 240p test suite. And we'll look at some test patterns here in a second. And some of you may already notice that we might have an issue here with our color purity on our screen, especially over in this area. But just to verify that we can pull up some color screens. And that should show pretty well that purity problem going straight through the middle of our screen. Now that is not going to be correctable through just the normal degauss that comes with this television. However, I do have a degausing tool. So we'll see if that will help clear anything up. But other than that, the TV seems to work really well. Now that red, that shows a really good line right there through the middle of the screen how we've got a purity issue. So what I'd like to do now is we're just going to go into the CRT bunker. We're going to disassemble this TV and look inside and maybe worry about cleaning it up some. And then we'll run our CRT patterns again. And we'll try to get rid of the purity problems here with some external degausing. So let's go ahead now and jump over to the CRT bunker. After further consideration, I'm going to start here with the degausing coil tool and then we'll go ahead and degauss our set. Now I'm sorry in the opening I did show it to you on a full white screen and it's really difficult from the camera to see the purity problems, but I can show it to you on an all red screen. It'll show up great on there. So what I wanted to do though is show you a little bit more on this tool first. This is this really high quality computer monitor and TV degausing coil. It is the largest that I've ever seen. I was going to show you these instructions just to start off, but if you just want to pause this and take a look at how it tells you to actually do it, you can do that, but for the most part you're going to power it on and make a circular motion and go towards the screen and then back away from the screen. So let's get set up now and we'll do our test and hopefully get the purity cleared up on our little Trinitron. On her screen right here you'll notice the big purple hue I'm talking about right through the middle. It's very difficult to see if I move the camera back. So we're going to just try to do it from where it sits right now. We'll zoom out a little bit and hopefully we'll be able to use this ring and I'll start back here at the camera and we'll go towards it first and then we'll back back away from the screen. As I back away hopefully that purity will get gone. Look at that. So that's just one session right there. Let's zoom in but there's no purple line through the middle of it anymore. As a matter of fact it looks crystal clear for red. Let's see what our other colors look like just by cycling through those real quickly. Green looks great. Blue looks good and now our white has cleaned up. So that's another good example of that tool having the right amount of power to get that purity cleaned up and that is really quick and a good thing again about this awesome degausing coil. Alright now that the purity is cleaned up we're going to turn it around and we're going to take the shell off and take a look at the inside of the CRT. I've gone ahead and removed the Phillips head screws. This particular CRT has six in the back that are marked with little arrows around the outside and then two near the input board. All those need to be removed and the shell on the back side should simply slip back and off. So just try to pull back towards or away from the screen backing and pull up and back and that is our innards of our CRT. Let's look in here closer. First off that is our deflection yoke along with our CRT neck and then our neck board right in here. Pretty basic Trinitron neck board. We've got a couple controls down here. Let's look around the back and see specifically what those will adjust. This one on the left will adjust our focus which I did notice we may need to adjust the focus on this. The screen adjustment will adjust our G2 voltage level. Right here is our H-stat adjustment which is for our horizontal static convergence. And then of course you've got the good old convergence rings, the first two sets. We'll adjust your convergence and the third set will control the purity of this television. And if we get down here in our A board which is our main board of course we've got a flyback from Sony right here. And this is our hotter deflection area where it says CCO it says horizontal deflection right here. This is most of our deflection and screen control capacitors are going to be in that area. And then up there we've got our video chips which that one I'm assuming that is next to the connection that goes into our neck board right here. I'm going to bet that this one is our chip that we could our jungle chip that we could insert RGB to but it could also be that one over there but most of the time it's going to be this one I think. On the main board here's our tuner. And then that other card right there is a closed caption card. It even says on there so it says closed caption that's how it's all done from its own board. And then over here is our power supply. It looks very similar to even the PVM power supplies but right here we've got voltages coming out to our main board coming from this connection. And this one is up here is where AC goes in and see we've got a fuse here. And then over here we've got probably the degausing coil if I had to just guess I'm seeing where that leads on to that looks like the degauser. And then this is our power on button most likely and that's pretty much it for the power supply on this one. One spot where everything goes to the board. Biggest thing we need to do is first get in here and clean this because this is really dirty. We just got our little mono audio speaker right here. There's that and that connects into the front of our board. This chassis is so dirty that I'd like to go ahead and pull it and then clean the shell and I might even remove the tube and clean around the edges of the tube and everything to just really give it a good cleaning. This is a pretty solid one piece you can almost take out at once on this particular television. Everything's tied together and you can lift up the deflection board down here a little bit and then pull back and the whole the whole board will slide out and we do need to remove our neck board and then the only thing I have left connected is our anode cap so we're going to discharge that according to the manual right now. There were some points I did disconnect just the degausing cable and then we've got mono audio disconnected from the main board. I'm going to connect the alligator clip end of my discharge tool down here to the metal frame right down there and that is a metal frame and we're not going to do I'm not going to stick that up in here. What I'm going to do is I'm going to remove the cap according to the manual and it's taken out right there and let's see if anything happens. No that's our anode cap and then up here will be obviously the tube will touch it also and nothing. So now we are safe to remove the rest of this. Like I said I will move this a little bit back to clear up a little space and what I'm also going to do is take this neck board with me and the neck board is wiggles a little bit and comes straight back and off like that. We're going to go ahead and take the tube out since there's not much in here left and that way we can get a good wash on the shell for sure and then we'll also probably be able to move this speaker it just slides right out of the way so we can clean up that with our ESD brushes and the way to get this out is there are four major screws in each one in each corner on the tube and if we look closer I can show you what those look like. They are again just a phillips head screw down in here and all we need to do is remove all four of those and then we'll be able to lift our tube up and I did notice I set my television here on an old blanket to keep the screen from receiving any scratches or damages by just laying it on there so please be mindful of that but let's go ahead now we'll just remove all these four screws and then this tube should just lift right out of place. Now all four screws have been removed and I will just grab this by its neck. I'm not going to put any pressure on the yoke just lift up and we can do two things we'll remove our shelf real quickly and we'll place our tube back down and take a look at it and if we get close in here we should be able to see. See look at the film around the edge here of dirt where our bezel was pushed against there so that way we can really clean our screen and hopefully improve upon that because there's a thick layer of just soot that has built up over time see the difference there and how much stuff is actually on our glass so let's clean that up. You can rub down the back of your tube I just want you to be really aware of this see this is supposed to be darker and shaded like that see how that's all painted around the backside of your tube so make sure you do not clean that off I don't recommend using really any kind of cleaning solution back here it's not necessary most of the time but if you want to you can definitely dust the back off with a cloth like a terry cloth and then you can come in here and clean in this area that does not have that black painted especially around your anode if you want to just make sure that you clean everything out and then you can apply some fresh dielectric grease here's a look at a connection point on the neck board and our little plastic spacer right here so let's get this cleaned and the obvious other thing we need to clean is the plastic shell but you can really clean this with anything that's safe on plastics now I've taken the shell outside and I've washed it off thoroughly with just some dish soap and then it's going to sit in the wind and the sun and dry out and then we'll bring that back in and reassemble the tube and the cleaned boards after we've cleaned both of the tube and the boards let's start with the tube here and we're looking at again a sony trinitron high black tube model number a34jbu70x and I'm using a clean dry paper towel here and I'm going to just start kind of up in the neck area and really rub around it to get a lot of that dust and build up off there first and then I'll work my way down and I have already dusted off my deflection yoke with my esd brushes and gotten rid of 90% of the dust on there and that's a safe way to clean off the yoke because there is dust build up usually in those crevices and it's a good time if you already got it out here to get it rid of it and also it's good to use these brushes to clean these cables while you can and of course you could use paper towels or something with that also but now we want to look at this portion of the tube under the deflection yoke and we're going to just clean it off it's got a lot of soot on it and I'm not again rubbing the darker areas I'm just going over the shinier areas of the tube that do not have that paint on them and we'll get a lot of that soot off there's just a layer of soot on all this after years and years of use a little bit on the bottom side of the tube you go over the label if you want and the degaussian cabling it's fine to rub that really with anything and now if we do want to rub over the darker sections we just need to do so extra lightly I'm using this softer cloth esd cloth and I'm just barely rubbing it making contact just kind of knocking off that outer layer of dust because I don't want to rub any of that off any of that paint very important to keep that paint in you can also rub over anything really with this cloth and now we're ready to clean the front of the tube and to do this I will be using just some paper towels but before I do that I want to make sure and get a lot of the outer stuff cleaned off I will be using sprayway world's best glass cleaner foaming action now this smells nice and of course I'm not affiliated with this company in any way it's just my preferred style and preferred cleaner so I like to start by spraying it on a fresh paper towel and then working that into the screen and oh yeah that's looking real good that's taken all that out now you don't probably want to use this kind of a cleaner if there is some kind of a protective layer on your tube like a anti-glare extra layer like on the bvms or any other crt if it has that pull away peel away layer you may want to try just using a little water and using that cleaner very sparingly if you actually need it but wow oh that's really nice I'm gonna do it one more time and like I said another thing about this cleaner is it smells so good it doesn't have an ammonia based smell or anything I really like it it ain't that stinky stuff you know what I mean all right I think that's pretty good I can see my reflection in it let me get you a little closer so you can see what it looks like I remember we could see that heavy-duty darkness up here where the film was just all over it from the dirt so it's pretty well cleaned up perfectly so I'm excited now now in order to keep my tube safe I want to go ahead and install it back in the clean front shell and that way it can be safe while I work on the other boards and we get those ready to install and then let's just drop it in where I can see the four posts make sure the cables are all clear and then we'll just install our four screws back in the corners and be sure if you do this don't over tighten these you can slowly tighten them but if you over tighten them you might crack your plastic which would be a real shame all right here we have our tube back in our shell and it is a lot cleaner and I'm excited now to get this turned on because I think it looks about 100 times better just check out how clean that is oh it's so much better than it was when we first looked at it well our circuit boards are dirty we should be able to just use our ESD brushes and some compressed air and that's what I'm going to work through I just wanted to give you a quick shot of what it looked like ahead of time and maybe just note some areas usually a lot of build up in this area on the cables make sure there's this is a pretty simple design board a lot of this stuff is out like see here's why see audio control so a lot of this is unpopulated audio amps since we're only in the mono audio we don't have a lot of parts there this is our vertical deflection block so it's see how it's nicely isolated here and if you had an issue with vertical deflection you should replace obviously these three capacitors and there's some other capacitors you could consider for a deflection kit this one and most of them will be labeled with a five in front and that entire block is kind of the deflection area in the high heat zone obviously so if that's a do you have any concerns with your TV these would be the capacitors to check out in the areas of the board maybe to look at if the screen looked terrible but I think the major thing we need to do here is just clean it out get it reassembled look at the screen after that and then we can decide maybe what we should do with this in the future now our board has been cleaned off I thought I'd just show it to you again all I did was brush it and use compressed air and everything came out very nice and we're ready to put it back in there with the tube we've got our tube you need to put these cables a little bit out of the way just let me get it lined up with a track down here there okay the last thing I'm going to do is just add some dielectric grease onto the anode cap and then kind of spread it around a little bit with my finger and then I'll reattach this to the tube and we should be ready for a test after that be slippery of course and make sure you get that down in there good clean ourselves up kind of make sure we're good and connected in there because we're not connected properly we could have some trouble so be able to push it down a little bit and feel it inside that anode ring wiggle it a little bit seems like it's good in there we need to turn it around and just power it on we should just go ahead and do that right now I'll plug in the Sega Genesis here one last look to make sure everything's plugged in and we'll plug the television in and let's hope for the best okay here goes nothing I hear it energize I feel static on the tube and I see an image starting to show on the screen wow yeah of course I don't have any audio of course I didn't install my speaker silly me I forgot that I had cleaned this little speaker I didn't even put it back well that should have to do is slide in here like that and then this needs to be connected down here into the board so we power this off and do that real quick well we've gotten the speaker plugged up just a mono speaker and it seems to be working quite nicely I'd like to do is turn the brightness up just a little bit oh yeah sonic's looking so much better and it's really going to be difficult to adjust this on composite only but I will do a check with the 240p test suite with you and we will adjust one thing and that will be hopefully our focus because I really would like it to be as sharp as possible and the best way to do that is going to be with a screwdriver in the back while we're looking at our 240p test suite and our monoscope pattern let's pull this pattern up I don't want to get that down to kind of low right there see if we can't get rid of that brightness there we go and my goal here is to kind of watch the center and try to see if I can adjust the sharpness so this is something most people should not worry about if you're not experienced because you do have to do this adjustment while the monitor the crt is powered on and there's a potentiometer that I'm just twisting and I mean it may not even make any difference on this one and I'm not seeing anything look worse or better honestly all right the tv's ready it's been running for a while looks pretty good but again we're still going to be limited on this set with the look of composite video it's not going to be very sharp it is going to give you a good composite video input and it also has a good rf input so there's really only two practical uses for this television the first being to keep it in its current state and just use it as something to play or demo you know analog video that's only in the format of composite video or in the format of rf or you could try to take this to the next level and rgb mod it and add maybe a scarred input or even bnc or rca adapters on the back and a switch so that you can access rgb and actually that would be a way to clear up the sharpness and you know honestly I could do it either way I could stand to have it in its current condition and just leave it to demo things that are only composite video and rf or I could rgb mod this one depending on how much you guys like this video will depend on whether we'll see this tv again I'll be glad to do more content on it if you'd like to see maybe an rgb mod or even just a demonstration of how to use the service menu I can do that also please let me know if that's anything that interests you with a comment below thanks again for watching today I really appreciate it and I will see you all next time with some more retro content


senior sustainability consultant at CADS Group and today I'll be giving a brief introduction on applying the performance solution process with the much needed introduction of more stringent energy provisions with new technology and products on the market with the increased uptake of best practice industry benchmarks. We are coming across more diverse and technical solutions for compliance and the increased use of performance solutions. As part of its efforts to encourage the increased and competent use of performance solutions the ABCB has produced a number of guidelines and educational materials to support performance solutions use. More recently a new provision a 2.2 section 4 the process for developing and documenting performance solutions has been included into the National Construction Code. It has been introduced into the NCC 2019 Amendment 1 with an implementation date of the 1st of July 2021. This instructional video will provide background information on the application of performance solution with respect to energy efficiency. It will outline the methodology for documenting our performance solution in line with A 2.2 section 4 and it will apply it to an energy efficiency case study. Firstly some background information on the use of performance solutions to meet performance requirements. Performance solutions are satisfied by one of the following. A performance solution, a deem to satisfy a solution or a combination of the two. A performance solution our focus for today is achieved by demonstrating compliance with all the relevant performance requirements or demonstrating that solution is at least equivalent to the deem to satisfy provisions. So when applying this to section J energy efficiency provisions on your screen you can see an example of applicable performance requirements. These performance requirements can be achieved by either a performance solution using a verification method as the assessment method as you can see on the screen. Solution must be shown to comply with the relevant performance requirements through one or a combination of the following assessment methods. Evidence of suitability in accordance with part A 5 of the governing requirements that show the use of materials, products, plumbing and drainage products, form or construction or design meets the relevant performance requirements. A verification method including the verification methods provided in the NCC, for example JV3 verification using a reference building or other verification methods accepted by our appropriate authority that show compliance with the relevant performance requirements. Expert judgment and comparison with the deem to satisfy solutions are two other assessment methods. The process for undertaking a performance solution in line with provision A 2.2 section 4 involves the following steps. Firstly you want to prepare a performance-based design brief. This is in consultation with relevant stakeholders and the appropriate authority. So it may include the architects, service consultants, building certifiers, the client or relevant experts in a specific field for example energy and fire. The brief is to include a minimum of three sections. A scope of works for the performance-based analysis, the technical basis for analysis and the acceptable criteria of the relevant performance solution as agreed by the stakeholders. Once the brief has been prepared you want to carry out analysis as documented in the brief and then evaluate the results against the acceptance criteria in the brief. And finally we want to put this into a report that includes at least all performance requirements and deem to satisfy provisions identified in the brief and identification of all assessment methods used, the details of step one to three of the brief as seen on the screen and confirmation that the performance requirements have been met and details of any conditions or limitations if they exist regarding to the performance solution. Let's now apply this to a case study. So we'll be using a simple petrol station in South Australia and CC climate zone five. The consultant group undertook a section J review of the design of a proposed petrol station in South Australia in NCC climate zone five. An initial deem to satisfy assessment has deem the floor as non-compliant with J1.6 floors. The required total R value of the floor to comply is two. The current R value when applying table 2B, R value in soil in contact with the floor of specification 1.6 subfloor thermal performance is 1.4. So the floors are deem to be non-compliant. The stakeholder group being the architect, the client, service consultants, sustainability consultant and building certifier meets to determine if the uninsulated floor has a significant impact on the heating and or cooling loads of the building compared to another building with deem to satisfy elements to things such as the walls, roof and glazing. The stakeholder group agree to undertake a whole building model to test the impact of the insulated floor as on the petrol station in comparison with other building elements. The stakeholder group agree that all other deem to satisfy provisions can be met. The group agree on undertaking a thermal comfort analysis to make sure thermal comfort is achieved. A predicted mean vote or a PMV of negative one to plus one is to be achieved across not less than 95% of the floor area of all occupied zones for not less than 98% of the annual hours of operation of the building. So step one, we want to prepare a performance-based design brief, which includes a scope of works. The scope of works proposed by the stakeholder group is to analyse, undertake analysis to test whether the heating and cooling loads for the proposed building with no floor insulation is less than that of a reference building with deem to satisfy compliant walls, ceilings, floors and windows. It is proposed that the performance solution is achieved by demonstrating the solution is at least equivalent to the deem to satisfy provisions. And as such comparison with the deem to satisfy provisions is used as the assessment method. We then identify the technical basis for analysis. In this case, the consultant intends to utilise IES BE energy modelling to calculate the annual load of the building, which has been approved for the use for this purpose being compliant with ASHRAE 1400 2007 best test. The modelling software will be used to demonstrate equivalency with Section J building fabric when with added compliance for additional deem to satisfy provisions not covered by a modelled solution, including for general thermal construction compliance with J1.2 and the building ceiling of the building to comply with J3. All other provisions not covered by the modelled solution, including J5 to J8, will be designed compliant with a DTS solution. We then identify the criteria for acceptance. That is what needs to be met to demonstrate either compliance with all the relevant performance requirements, or the solution is at least equivalent to deem to satisfy solutions. In this instance, we provide group proposed that under 2.2 Section 1, the performance solution is achieved by demonstrating the solution is at least equivalent to the deem to satisfy provision and the remaining clauses in A2.2. When we undertake the analysis, the results of the load analysis undertaken through IES software being on your screen, modelled inputs are per specification JVB and GVC. We then evaluate the results identified in Step 1B, the technical basis for analysis, against the Step C acceptance criteria in the performance-based design brief. The analysis demonstrates the difference in performance between the proposed building load and the reference building, i.e. DTS fabric, allows for a quantifiable comparison of the building's fabric performance as a whole. In addition, comfortable levels are achieved throughout the year. In addition to this, the following deem to satisfy assessment was achieved to reduce limitations in the software. This includes for general thermal construction J1.2 and the building ceiling of the building to comply with J3. The building services to be designed in accordance with deem to satisfy provisions of Parts J5 to J8. We then compile the data and create our report, which should include, as a minimum, all performance requirements and deem to satisfy provisions identified as applicable, identification of all assessments methods used, record of details from the brief relating to steps A to C described before, confirmation that the performance requirements have been met, and details of conditions of limitations, if any, exist regarding the performance solution. Comfort may have been impacted, and the group agree on undertaking a thermal comfort analysis to make sure thermal comfort is achieved. A predicted mean vote of negative one to plus one is to be achieved across not less than 95% of all occupied zones for not less than 98% of the annual hours of operation of the building. In summary, the process for undertaking a performance solution in line with provisions A2.2 section four involved the following steps. One, prepare a performance based design brief. This is in consultation with relevant stakeholders being the architect, service consultant or client, and involves the following, a scope of work, the technical basis for analysis, and the acceptance criteria of a relevant performance solution. Two, we want to carry out the analysis as per the proposed brief. Three, we want to evaluate the results against the acceptance criteria of the brief. And four, we want to prepare a final report. In closing, there is further supporting resources, including a guidance document and handbook, which are available on the ABCB website in the resource library. Thank you for your time.


Hey guys, what is up welcome to my channel. So for today's tutorial, I'm doing a different kind of tutorial. This is a blush tutorial It's very focused on the skin and as you can see just such glowy pretty blushed flushed skin I've been very inspired lately by all of the blush palettes that have come out In fact, I will if it's not posted already have a video comparing and talking about all of the newest blush palette releases But blush is so in you guys is honestly a spring trend to over apply blush and I'm so here for it I love blush. I cannot stop talking about blush So so excited to do this tutorial for you So for this look I was inspired by some campaigns for new blush palette releases So first of all Natasha and Nona hers obviously is very very editorial, but she has the blush very glowy and Extremely pink up in this area and over all over the eyelid I did kind of emulate that but in a more wearable way then also another campaign that really caught me I was the All in Mark cosmetics blush trio collection campaign So I did buy those blushes. They only released yesterday So obviously I don't have them but they kept the blush very in this area So there was a lot of blush on the nose and just up in this area So I kind of combined it those two different styles of makeup to kind of create this wearable very Blushy-flushy look so if you want to see how I got this look and what products I use then just keep watching Haven't tested this lookout before so hopefully it turns out. Okay. We're all spring vibes today Even though it's so cold here in Maryland I'm gonna start off with the pixie glow mist gonna use this to try and avoid my hair cuz it's straight in Okay, so we are going to go for like really Glowy pretty skin, so I'm starting off with the Mac strobe cream So this is in the pink one and I'm just running my fingers through that and putting that everywhere I just put way too much on my fingers But this is going to be our initial base. It adds a really nice strobe to the face like I look sweaty now and Then also before I get to the added color my face I'm going to use the milk makeup baked stick So I don't want this look to have too much dimension So I'm just using it this first Before the color goes on so this is going to add dimension to the skin But with you know foundation and whatnot over top It's not going to be overwhelming and by the way this stick blends beautifully over my bare skin So that's sweet. My gosh. I'm like so glowing looking right now It's crazy cream bronzer and contour. I'm telling y'all is where it is at You see that I like scratch myself in my sleep or something.  I'm using my all-time favorite summer glowy foundation It's a little bit dark on me because it's not summer right now But I'm using the YSL tushie claw all in one glow and then I will be mixing that with the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter in number one fair So I'm going to start off by putting the Charlotte Tilbury Right here like all over my cheeks and then that's just going to kind of Blend in with the foundation Normally, I would grab for the Hollywood flawless filter that's closer to my skin tone But since this foundation is a tad bit dark on me. I decided it would make more sense to go with the lighter one So we're just gonna mix that in now. This has Extremely light coverage if you are interested in getting this so just be aware of that. It's a really nice light coverage foundation for the summer So the glow is literally unbelievable right now. It is so gorgeous. I love this so for concealer I'm going for something that's not completely mad for coverage I'm using the Charlotte Tilbury magic away liquid concealer and I am going to set my face just a tiny tiny bit Especially my under eyes. I'm using the hourglass Translucent setting powder. So this is really gorgeous for a glowy look, but you still kind of need to set your face I love this product just lightly under the eye. I was almost super close to forgetting but I'm going to use that milk bronzer stick and That's what I'm going to use to define my crease today Like I said, we're not going for a ton of definition in this look So I will say this had some powder on the brush So this is a little darker than it would normally go So just because of that, I'm going to use my foundation sponge and kind of just Blend over that. There we go. That really kind of neutralized everything. All right So I am going to start off with a little bit of cream blush I'm of course going to go into my Natasha Denona bloom palette and I am going into the cream blush You are more fair like myself a tiny bit goes a really long way So I'm just ever so slightly tapping it into a duo fiber brush as you can see it's barely on there But I just want that to work as a cream base So I just use the tiniest amount and that is going Everywhere and then I'm going a little bit higher than I normally it would go with blush because we're kind of fusing The blush and the highlight area together And then kind of blend it over the eyelids So basically all up in this upper area get that color up there And but this by the way is the morphe M404 I believe the last number is like none and then I am going to run just the tiniest amount on my nose Putting blush on her nose is something we need to do more because Just it looks so much more natural and cute. I'm done with the contoured nose Just a blush on it. Okay, cool. So that's a really good base So here's where I'm going to start kind of building now You can definitely get this look without using so many different blushes But this is a blush tutorial. So I am kind of using a lot of different blushes. I'm not going to lie So for that general all over slight sheen it to kind of start building up that color I'm using gold rush from benefit. This is the benefit cheek glitter bronze squad palette to apply this I'm using my most favorite is some x52 brush this gold rush doesn't have the most pigmentation But it does have the sheen That's why I'm using that color first and I'm actually kind of really digging into that color and I'm putting that over my eyelid and up high Somebody commented on my video the other day. They were like you put on way too much blush and I'm just like Pat more on sweet. So now to get more of a flushed sheen look I'm so sorry if I'm annoying you by going into all these different palettes But these are the newest blush palettes. You can totally recreate this using not a bunch of different blush palettes But I am going into the Nars exposed palette because I do want some sheen and I'm going in with this shade right here This is come hit her. Oh Come hit there. Oh my gosh. I was just like whoa Come hit her I know I complained that this palette really doesn't have pigmentation But this is going to show up brighter than gold rush is what I'm talking about And you guys always try to give me advice on how to use this palette, but honestly I'm very thankful that you're trying to help me out, but I just don't I don't like it You know if I have to work so hard to get a blush to work a blush It's not a good palette. So as you can see We're really developing this look. I'm loving this. This looks so cute Oh my gosh, some of you are gonna hate this I know it. Okay, so this is the last step because I am trying to make it a little bit more sunburn wearable I'm going to take the glow cream base from the Bloom palette I'm going to put this right over the highlight area of my cheek And as you can see it does have a pinky undertone. So it's going to look really lovely Up on the highlight area you could totally recreate this whole look just using this palette But since I already did like a whole tutorial review on this palette. I'm I tried to use other products as well But this palettes all you need I'm gonna take that on my finger as well, and I'm putting that all Over my lid for that glowy look that Natasha has in her pictures on the lids Like this is turning out so beautiful And then so the last product that I'm going to use is the cookie highlighter from the bronze squad palette from Benefit and Jacqueline Hill has made this highlighter pop off, but just know I found it first I've been talking about this highlighter since before it even came out So and I'm just lightly putting that just on the tops of my cheeks and again, we're bringing that all over the lid We want that really pretty glowy lid This is gonna be so over the top for some of you But I was going for this really gorgeous editorial look and then a final step using that highlighter on a defined brush I'm going to highlight straight down the middle thing nose. I know some of you hate this, but It's okay. I like the inner corners And right here and right here boom. Okay. I look so somber and cute This is exactly what I was going for so I'm gonna go on to the lips before I put mascara on I'm going to use the cream blush from Natasha, and I'm just patting that eyelash This is kind of a stained look That's a little too messy with that And then I do want to put a clear gloss over top So I'm using the Too Faced lip injections ultimate lip plumper clear lip gloss is just going to look the best Mm-hmm That's really making the cream blush Show up even more Right so I'm just gonna go off camera and focus on really mess scaring up my lashes And I'll be right back. So this is the final look you guys. I am so obsessed with this look I look like sunburn and flush, but like in a very pretty glowy way This is a very different type of tutorial. Some of you aren't going to like it But you know me being so obsessed with blushes. I'm so in love with this keep in mind I did use like three different palettes to create this look But I just kind of wanted to demo the new blush palette You can totally do this look using totally different products, but yeah, this is I'm obsessed For those of you who requested like a blush look or a blush tutorial, I hope you guys found this helpful I really had a lot of fun remember to subscribe to my channel like this video And I will see you guys in the next video. Bye guys. Have a great day
