Coach Miller, you are not a stranger to this room. Nope. You're not a stranger to success either, but one of the things I feel bad because I haven't got to get around you in person as much.  You've done it at the highest level, I mean from college. Pretty much every aspect of high school and college, D1, D3, talk a little bit about what continues to draw you to this program. Obviously you won a national title here, but what about what's going on right now that you and I just feel right? Yeah, it does feel right. You get caught up in the energy, typically you go to the West Gym for a meet and it's just you can just feel the energy, so it's just fun, and then I try to get up here once a week or something because I enjoy watching guys scrap and some of the guys come down to the museum and so forth, but you just kind of get caught up with the kids, you know, because they've got a great group of kids here and they've got some good leadership with Doug and the other guys. This is my alma mater, so there's a lot of reasons man, plus I live just a half mile away. So you're heavily involved with the Riddy Gagel Museum now and it just seems like that thing just continues to grow and grow physically, brand-wise, just all the initiatives you guys are doing. How excited has that been of a project for you, not kind of taking a different approach to being involved in the rest?  So longevity, you, like I said, you've done it at the highest level for an extremely long amount of time and it doesn't seem like you got burned out or your energy faded or anything like that, obviously your shell that you know, it aged a little bit, if you're talking up and coming coaches, the coaches that have been doing it for a while and are starting to feel that kind of the grind catching up with them or that position catching up with them, what's been a secret for you and kept you kind of operating at that level? Well, I call it motivation by choice, man, I just chose to be motivated.  So I chose to be motivated, you know, there were 17 steps from my locker, the wrestling room door, and I just decided, hey, by the time I get to that door, I'm ready to go, no matter what I felt like. And that, you know, that's kind of the key, no matter what you feel like, you're bringing it anyway. And so that was kind of the thing, and I just, I got in the success habit, I call that a success habit. It's just a success habit, that's what I did. And I could, you know, get to that point immediately when I'm ready to do it. So, and that really helped us, you know, I had athletes and so forth, you know, they got in the habit too. The habit was, hey, we're getting something done today, you know, and don't bring in any baggage to practice, you know, leave it in your car, leave it in your apartment, whatever, and I'm gonna do the same thing. Let's have a great practice, and you know, when you do that, you're much better fitted to go solve whatever issue you might have, whether you're an athlete, coach, whatever.  Talk about success habits, where do you feel this team is at right now? I mean, I'm biased, you're biased, obviously, we're big pay-the-trade fans, but like, where do you truly feel like this team is at right now? The UNI team? Yes, sir. Yeah, I don't know, I mean, I think it's, obviously they got a lot of talent here. They got a number of guys that are ranked high, so other people must think they're good too. But I just like the energy, you know, I like the energy of the team, I like the camaraderie of the team, you know, you don't have to be around a very long to see that these guys like each other, and they're willing to work at it, I don't see the coaches really having to prod them very hard to get going, you know, they're ready to go. So, when that happens, man, you know, kind of the sky's the limit as far as what they're capable of doing, you know, and all you want to do, man, is have people wrestle to their full potential. That's it. And what happens if you have every guy wrestle to your full potential? Then what happens? Well, really good things start to happen, you know, because most teams, that doesn't happen, you know, you might have five or six of them wrestle really good, a couple of average and a couple of not very good, you know, and so wrestling everybody at the same time, I don't care what sport it is, you know, I mean, if you had five guys in basketball and they all had their best game at the same time, what's that look like, yeah. And so that's what I'm talking about. So I like these guys. I really, they're just a lot of really good people, you know, and so obviously you cheer for people that you're really good people and that you see them work hard. So you're, you're, you're hoping good things happen for them. I appreciate your time. Appreciate letting it catch up with you. We'll see you around. All right, bro.

Is that what it is Rex? Is it like a Dragon egg and then once it melts it will reveal a Dragon? In my head that's what it is. Look isn't this crazy? My first two recaps I did were the exact same length. Like the golfer who knows the exact yardage on his eyes. You don't know your exact yardage? They're all about the same. But between 90 and 110 yards. Pitching wax through 700. So recap live fanatics right? As long as it's consistent. Just get it. Just kind of separate it somehow. It looks like a white marshmallow then changes color and then looks like a dragon. Then it looks like a dragon so like a dragon egg. A white marshmallow egg. Then it looks like a dragon. Does a part of it melt and it turns into... Didn't they make Lucky Charms where it was just marshmallows? Just regular marshmallows? Like just you know how those white marshmallows pick out the marshmallows? And Lucky Charms? I think they made one where it was just all marshmallows. And none of the other stuff? All marshmallows?

Far at the world then, strange fascinating lands beckon us, bid us revel in their exotic splendors, come with us as we head for Port of Call. As we approach Ireland, both sea and sky are grey, a soft, delicate grey which seems to envelop this fabulous island in mysterious gossamer veils. Filtering through it, a diffused sunlight touches with silver the gulls whirling over our ship, and bathed with a subdued radiance the unbelievably green coasts of the emerald island. Here is a Port of Call rich in subtle charm, Ireland, land of saints and scholars, of poets and heroes, of legend, romance and beauty. Over the lush green of Ireland's wooded hills, over her misty lowlands, her enchanted lakes, her vine-grown castles, broods the spirit of olden time. We seem to hear the rippling melody of the ancient minstrel's harp. It awakens in us the memory of Ireland's fairest daughter, she whose memory lives in the immortal tale of Tristan and a soldier. Up from the sea and into the castle of Tintagel, where in the days of Arthur, thrown King Mark of Cornwall, comes the strong knight, Sir Marhouse, bearing a message. King Mark, you hold your lands and vassalage from King Angus of Ireland, yet you refuse to pay the tribute. That is true, Sir Marhouse. King Angus sends me as his champion to fight for the tribute in single combat. Very well. If my Cornish knight wins, there will be no more tribute. And if you win, I shall pay the double of what your master demands forever. Knights and barons, so which of you the glory of fighting for Cornwall? What does this mean? Are you afraid? There is no one in your court who can best this Irish champion. This is scandalous.  However, I shall await your champion until tomorrow. If you can find one, farewell, valiant nobles of Cornwall. What a disgrace! Worse, Uncle, it is cardus for same all of you. King Mark, knightly, give me this battle.  Young, yes, but strong enough to meet Sir Marhouse. You must do it. None of your own knights dare undertake this combat. Very well then. Come, Tristan. Kneel. Then does Sir Marhouse see young Tristan riding toward him. He makes ready. Tristan couches his lance. Like thunder clouds, the champions rush together and meet. The lances shatter in their hands. Both horses fall and young Sir Tristan is wounded. Will you yield, young knight? Never, while I live. Then does Tristan, despite his grievous wound, leap to his feet and draw his two-edged sword. Sir Marhouse lashes out furiously. They battle like wild boars. Great strokes are given and taken. Tristan is marvelous! Commonwealth has gained the great champion of the state. Oh, yes, yes. And the tribute too, if he can only... Did you see that blow? Now Tristan, with a mighty blow, cleaves the Irishman's helmet. The keen blade bites down through the harbor, king to the skull. There a splinter breaks off from the steel edge. And Sir Marhouse, crazed with pain, runs toward his ship with the splinter of Tristan's sword still within him. The ship makes sail and birds sail Marhouse off back to the court of King Angus, there to die. And Tristan, the battle one, sinks to the ground, fading. Tristan is dying. The lance wound is in venom. I must not lose him. Can you not do something? Alas, your Majesty, my science is not great enough. Oh, fool, you must. There is but one person who can save him. Who is it? Speak at once. Well then, the Queen of Ireland, she alone. The Queen of Ireland? Ah, yes. But Sir Marhouse is her mother. I know, I know. Still we must try. Tristan must be taken to her. He will change his name, conceal who he is. Yes, the Irish love music. Tristan can perhaps win them with his heart. He must. Your music is heavenly, Sir Knight. Tell me, whence do you come? Come Cornwall, Fair Queen. Cornwall. It was there my brother met his death. And, what is your name? I am called Tantris. Tantris? A strange name. Now your wound is dressed. Be still. I shall send my daughter to walk over your sleep. You're very kind. Softly, Brad, when he's sleeping. He's very handsome, Mistress. Very handsome, yes. But so pale, poor King.  I was dreaming. Perhaps I still am. No, Sir Knight. But sleep on. You must rest. Sleep when I can look at you. No dream could be so fair. You must be quiet. You're beautiful. What is your name? My name is Esaulde. Esaulde? I was dreaming just now that an angel sat beside me. She ran her fingers through my hair. Perhaps I did it without thinking. Will you stay long in Ireland? Until your mother has cured my wound, Princess? No longer. Teach me to play the harp. When you are gone, I shall play as you have taught me. And will you think of me? More than you will think of me, Sir Knight. So does the time pass. Tristan thrives and grows stronger. Each night, by the fire in the castle's weight hall, he sits, harking and trancing each one, but none more than the princess who sits on the bench by his side, her eyes filling with love. See, Mother, here is his sword. Soon he will be strong enough to wear it again. Put it down, child. It is so heavy I can scarcely hold it nor draw it from the scabbard. See? Oh, yes I can. Look, Mother, here it is. It's older. Wait. There is a piece broken out of the blade. Yes, right here. Give me that little coffin on the chest. Quickly. Look. Here is the missing piece. It fits perfectly. The piece I took from the head of Sir Marlhouse. What does this mean? It means that this sword killed my brother. That I have saved the life of Tristan the Leonese. The traitor! You missed? So you know. Yes, yes, but that doesn't matter. You're in danger. Great danger, Tristan.  She saw the blade. Yes, it is true. What can I do now? Arm yourself, Tristan, at once. My mother will try to have you killed. I know. You must leave. I shall not run, but I will make ready to fight. Let me help you on with your armor. Oh, hurry! Thus to the lily fingers of his soul to the beautiful, trembling with haste, buckle on the heavy armor. I shall tell you the truth. I am Sir Tristan the Leonese. Why did you come here? Because none but the queen could cure my wound.  In fair fight before God. The number of kings it was not a private quarrel. Just as Sir Marlhouse was fighting for Ireland, so was I fighting for Cornwall. What you say is just, Tristan. Therefore, I forgive you, but you must leave my court. Farewell. Farewell, King Angus. Tristan. Yes, soldier. You are leaving. Yes. I shall miss you, Tristan. I too, soldier. Will you grant me a favour? Anything. Anything you ask. May I consider you, my lady? I shall be proud, Tristan. Then, a token? This ring. Thank you. And this ring for you. I shall cherish it. Farewell, the soldier. Farewell. And God speed you. So does the valiant Tristan return to fresh glory in Cornwall. Time passes. Old feuds are forgotten. But ever in Ireland, beautiful as soldier sits dreaming of Tristan. He speaks of her to Mark, his uncle, praising her beauty and gentleness. Yet at last, King Mark would have her for his bride and send Sir Tristan to fetch her. Yes, soldier. Dry your tears. Your eyes will be red and swollen. I try, mother. The tears come in spite of... Tristan is waiting to take you to the ship. Make haste. Oh, mother. If I were only to marry Tristan instead of King Mark. Foolish girl. Tristan is but a young knight. King Mark is a great ruler. You will be a queen. You should be happy. But my heart is breaking. Esolder, stop. Tristan does not love you. Where is your pride? There is too much love in my heart. To leave room for pride. Enough. Everything has been arranged. Go, Esolder. Make ready. Bragwin, come here. Yes, Majesty. Bragwin, you have cared for Esolder since she was a tiny girl. You love her. Almost as much as I do. You want her to be happy. Do you not? Ah, yes, my lady. I do. Then listen to me. Here is a golden slaggan. In it I have placed a wine filled with potent magic. Who drinks it will be fired with the love for whomever he first sees. Take it. Guard it well. And the knightly soldier is married to King Mark. See that they both drink of it. Together. Then she will forget Tristan and be happy. Trust me, Your Majesty. Then there is the bright ship with noble Tristan and Esolder spread sail, heading for Cornwall. Wither King Mark eagerly waits for his beautiful bride, Esolder. The fairest of women. You are sad, lovely, Esolder. Perhaps because of your music, Tristan. But still I love to hear it. It brings back the time when you played for me in my father's court long ago. And when you gave me this ring, perhaps you have forgotten. Forgotten never. Play for me again, Tristan. No, Tristan, stop. Why, Esolder, what? No, I can bear no more. Every touch of your fingers on the string's tails at my heart. Oh, Tristan, why are you so blind? Blind, Esolder? Forgive me. I know not what I say. I feel faint. Is there not something, some wine? A moment. There should be. Are here. This golden flag and here, Esolder, drink. Thank you. And now you drink. Drink to our love that might have been. To our love that might have been. Might. Esolder, beloved. Tristan, kiss me. Holy Mary, the golden flag and... Bragwin, all my poor children, you have drunk the love, John. What does that matter now, Bragwin? What matters, King Mark, in my word, and the whole world and the sea and the stars? What matters anything now? A tragic destiny awaits you. We will face it together joyously, loving each other always. Now leave us, Bragwin, and draw the curtains. Yes, my lady. And thus does the bard chant the old immortal tale of the love of Sir Tristan the valiant, the mighty, and of the lady, Esolder, Ireland's fairest daughter. Rome's wave of conquest rolled in all directions over the ancient world, but stopped without crossing the Irish Channel. Thus, instead of the quick marching feet of the legions, Aaron's green sod felt only the sandal tread of gentle missionaries, preaching the gospel of Christ. Of these, the greatest was St. Patrick, who, when he stooped and plucked the three-pole shamrock leaf to explain the mystery of the Trinity, bestowed on Ireland her faith and also her ancient emblem. And when the barbarians surged from the dark forests of northern and eastern Europe to obliterate the Roman Empire and her far-flung civilization, it was only in Ireland that the world's priceless heritage was preserved from destruction. Within 50 years of St. Patrick's passing in 461, the Irish monks were busy converting the pagans of England and the continent. St. Columban and his successors founded hundreds of churches and monasteries in France and Italy. The wasteland around them was cleared and put under culture. But then their walls, scholars gathered. The work of dissipating the darkness of barbarism went forward. This was the great age of Ireland, the period when she performed a service of incalculable value to the world's civilization. But Ireland was not long destined for happiness. The Norsemen invaded Ireland. To meet them, Irish heroes sprang from the very sod. Such a one was Brian Borough. 950 A.D. Mahon, my brother, you have made a truce with the Danes. I have, Brian. But do not the Danes still hold many strong places in Ireland? They do, Brian. And what means this truce? As long as the Danes are not driven back into the sea whence they came, how can you lay down your sword? My men are weary to death. Weak, sick, hungry. Many of them have been slain. Mahon, I am ashamed for you. If you do not fight on with me, I shall fight alone. With what, Brian? With my own men. Your men. Where are they? Where are the hundreds of your men of Dalkeas? All dead. It is natural for the men of Dalkeas to die in battle. But it is not natural for them to submit to oppression because their forefathers submitted to it from no one on Earth. Then we will leave the decision to our followers. It is well. I shall face them now. Men of Ireland! Men of Ireland! Give us your answer. Shall we abandon the struggle? Shall we submit to the foreigners? Or shall we fight on? Fight, fight, fight, fight! Brian Baru defeats the Danes in 40 battles. King Brian's final victory at Clontare decides the long war. The Danish power in Ireland is broken forever. The 12th century brings the Norman French rulers of England across the Irish Sea into Ireland. The reign of Henry II begins the fruitless effort of England to conquer an unconquerable people. The martyrdom of Ireland endured for centuries. England's acceptance of the Reformation in the 16th century brought the final and venoming touch to the conflict, that of religious fanaticism. Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan Regicide, led his armies into Ireland and massacred thousands of women, children and priests. By the end of the 17th century, Ireland was nearly depopulated. The seeds of famine had everywhere been planted. The imminent disappearance of the Irish race seemed inevitable. But the Irish refused to disappear. Miraculously, the heart of Ireland still beats. The Irish still love and live. Irish eyes twinkle, Irish lips are smiling, and Irish feet dance on. Now let's climb aboard a jotting cart for a glimpse of the Irish countryside. As we jog along the narrow lane, the ruined white limestone keep a 13th-century Blarney castle looms up before us, rising 120 feet above the surrounding trees to mirror itself in the dark waters of a lovely little river. We follow the old caretaker up endless, circular stone stairs, the Witches Staircase. What a strange name, the Witches Staircase. Sure, and it's on account of the witch-miss. Yes, but what witch? Why, Cormac McCarthy's witch, to be sure. It was Cormac who built the castle in the old days. To defend the countryside against the English. And it did it too, until Cromwell basted in with his artillery. You see, Cormac McCarthy was a quarkman and begor a real fighter. But he was not much of a one for talking with the ladies, which is very odd in an Irishman. Though he loved a fine, dark-haired Corleone. He just couldn't tell her about it. And one night when he was riding back to the castle, sad and sorrowful, he heard a woman's voice from the river, hoping for help. Cormac jumped in and thrashed about in the dark until he found the poor creature. And when he dragged her up onto the bank, he saw that she was a witch. And she looked at him and she says, Cormac, my gassoul, I know what's troubling you. And she told him to climb up these stairs to find the satin stone and to kiss it. And all his troubles would be over. So he did, and all of a sudden, Cormac became so eloquent that his lady love was fairly swept off her feet. And she knew what half the girls in County Clark have been. If Cormac had felt like it, well, here's the place. But the stone, where's the Barney stone? Well, sir, it's in the outside of the wall. You see that hole?    Oh, no, I don't. I break my neck. Sure, and I've never seen anybody break his neck. Well, they must be good. Sure, and they are. Good liars. What do you mean? That's simple, Your Honor. Hardly anybody ever kisses it. That's where the Barney comes in. But never mind. You've been close enough to it to catch the charm, you'll see. And before you're halfway home, you'll be swearing beyond the saints that you've kissed the stone at least three times in faith than they all do. Now we visit another part of Ireland as green as the emerald, as historic as the shamrock. Here once stood the venerable halls of terror, those splendid palaces of the odd dry, the high kings of Ireland, Cormac MacArthur, Roderick O'Connor, and 142 others who for thousands of years ruled the sons of Aaron. A century and a quarter ago, two young lovers reclined amid the grassy ruins which stretch along the hilltop. It is beautiful and sad here, Tom. Beautiful and sad like the soul of Ireland busy. No wonder Irishmen were always poets. But it was the good fortune of little Bessie Dike to marry the greatest of them all, Thomas Moore, the sweet melodious bard. Are you happy with me, Bessie? Oh, who wouldn't be, Tom? What woman could resist a man who could write the verses you did for me yesterday? You don't even remember the malware, do you? Oh, don't I, though? Well, perhaps, though, if you were to hum a bit of one now, I might remember it the better. Hum? If you are to mourn me, I'll sing. Now, though much is left to see, we must take leave of this land which has given the world saints and soldiers, grim historic figures, and the quaint folklore of little people. This land which has suffered so long and so bravely. With the hope that a brighter future is dawning for Aaron, we wish her peace, prosperity and progress. And we say farewell, Ireland. Then, from the sparkling river Shannon, from bustling Dublin, from the modern industrial cities of Ulster, from the long burdened hill of Tara, and from those iridescent jewels, the lakes of Calarney, comes the echoing response. M'avore, m'avore, m'acaron, springtime, m'avore. Invite you to join us again next week in this time, as we journey to another of the world's fascinating ports of call.


Everybody get up.   I'm not a fan of the first space jam It's it's passable like I can watch it and think man. Why am I watching this? Space Jam a new legacy is just so insulting to its very core I don't even know where to begin now I should back up and talk about my opening dialogue where I said it's almost impossible to criticize a stupid movie Because many people are gonna be like what are you talking about Adam? It's really easy to do that. Well, when you get to the level of space jam a new legacy and since it is a family family friendly film There's a lot of caveats you put on that There's a lot of this protective bubbling around these types of movies where people will automatically shove out these excuses This movie is just supposed to be fun.  It's meant for kids What if I told you you can have your cake and eat it too? Which is not even a fair expression to put on movies like this because that discredits the whole phrase Having your cake and eating it too means you're doing something.  I'm making no I don't have the stupidly large budget. They for some reason crapped into this and I certainly don't have the name recognition Undisplay and I'm not just talking about King James. I'm talking about Like half of the Warner Brothers line-up is in this thing and for no reason at all other than I know that oh Remember that cool beans. Look at that guy. Where should I begin with this turd of a film? LeBron James, maybe he looks pissed through this whole thing now I get that his character is supposed to be kind of kind of angry at his son He's very dismissive.  I didn't like his character He also comes off as incredibly naive because his son Dom is the most gifted talent ever Burved and I have to apologize if I get this wrong because I was blacking out several times during this film But I believe his son Dom developed an app that allows him to capture in real time the physical 3d body language of anything. It's in front of Translate it to his his app and rebuild the character you can infuse Animalistic abilities into them what just on the fly just willy-nilly What is this movie so LeBron's son doesn't want to play basketball? Which is all LeBron James knows and he's serious about he takes it very seriously His kid wants to develop games clearly He's incredibly talented at it and he really wants to take part in this e3 build a bear Video game thing that I don't think his son even needs to be part of because he's a easy damn damn talent when it comes to building He should be running the e3 event, which I didn't know existed until I saw this film So guess good marketing good synergy guys this movie's definitely about brand synergy I remember being incredibly pissed off by Ralph breaks the internet not only because it's a shit movie But because of all the brand integration and just how insulting it was to the viewers. This is like Oh Hold my iron giant we can get way worse This makes emoji movies script look self-respecting the only other major character in this is Don Cheadle We'll get to him in a second as we kind of graze over whatever sort of a plot This is pretending to have there's an episode of 30 Rock, which if you haven't seen I highly recommend it It's hilarious. It's well-ridden. It's everything this movie isn't anyway There's an idea presented called Seinfeld vision where they're gonna take Jerry and they're gonna put him in all the different NBC shows without Jerry even having to really do anything This is the exact idea that Warner Brothers presents to LeBron James They say hey, we have this new technology that's super advanced where we can put you into any movie Any property without you really having to lift a finger. How cool does that sound?  Why does that sound vaguely like a different word Adam?  Maybe I should try saying it a couple more times Algorithm Algorithm algorithm.    Why is Don Cheadle's character named LG rhythm though What does he have to do with the algorithm because he is the algorithm? He's stuck inside of the server verse You heard me he's stuck inside of the server verse In the very building where King James is slowly being whined and dined by executives There is a server room Massive server room that houses all those beautiful Warner Brothers properties that we've grown to love over the years that they shoved down Our goddamn throats throughout the film and inside of these servers is an entire universe That's being held together by Don Cheadle, but Algorithms mad nobody knows all the great things.   So it just makes sense to use King James in movies because he's an actor When this doesn't inevitably work because it sounds like the stupidest idea ever Don Cheadle has to cook up another idea and another idea He cooks up pretty quickly and it's to kidnap Dom thereby forcing LeBron's hand to go into the server verse after him Through all these different ready player one reference planets like like the Wizard of Oz Like King Kong you go through Harry Potter world.  What are you gonna say about this? Experts this leads me to several questions when you go into the server verse a digital Representation of yourself is made a copy of sorts is is presented in this universe where your original body goes However is anybody's guess they disappear I know that because later on people that are on their phones or watching TV or listening to any sort of tech That's connected can be pulled into this place, too LG rhythm is just is just pulling people in left and right Were they driving cars at the time did those cars just smash into people where they flying a plane and the plane just You know crashed into an orphanage your guess is as good as mine and the scripts because they don't they don't bother talking about any of it Who cares right? We're here for basketball. We're here for Looney stuff speaking of basketball There isn't any until maybe 45 minutes in where we get a little bit of a training montage Because the tunes I guess forgot how to play from the first movie We do however to the film's credit get a very lengthy 35 40 minute basketball game at the end It's all building to the ending from the point LeBron is in the server verse to that final game Though is a whole lot of shenanigans. It's a trip through Nostalgia verse a lot of memba berries.  I have so much to say but I have no Possible way of organizing it I have to point out that my kids were watching with me my 12 year old girl my 9 year old son They think like I do because I raised them and I'm there for them So we have you know, we have opinions sometimes they vary but for the most part since I've introduced them to a lot of films Arguably some they shouldn't have seen yet. They have an appreciation for the art and filmmaking is an art Storytelling is an art. This movie is none of that There's art on on the screen, but how it's used is How it's used is not art.  He's nine borderline ten loved the kid to death Very different tastes than my family a very different movie up bringing for instance some movies This kid would watch and repeat would be shark tail or a B movie The film equivalent of cancer to me he quite enjoys he likes he likes those types of movies So for him watching this movie. He's he's just loving he's eating it all up He said it was better than the first movie before the first five minutes completed. He loves LeBron James He mentioned how LeBron does the meme face.    Oh look over there It's the Animaniacs. Hey, it's the iron giant who just gets a hoared out in all these different movies Cool, he fist bumped King Kong. I hope they fist me later fist bump me later Sweet Lola bunnies in this again Remember her in the first movie and how hot and sexualized she was as a rabbit Which was weird, but at least it gave me something to watch during stupid space jam They took that away from me now I don't even have a sexualized cartoon animal that makes me feel weird about myself to enjoy for a couple hours God damn it. Lola bunny is found during the trials of Wonder Woman 84 Remember Wonder Woman 84 and how well that was received They went all in with that opening number. She's she's doing the trials I think gal Gadot is doing the voice of the animated Wonder Woman If not props to the the voice actor. You sounded very close.  Why does he need the cockamamie scheme to play basketball? He already has godlike abilities What is his end game here?  No one seems to bat an eyeball about it Meanwhile, they're also pulling in professional athletes giving them skyrocketed abilities perfect handling perfect shooting Perfect accuracy like what the fuck? How are they even close to winning this game the boy designed and developed the video game that they're playing the version of Basketball they're playing is based on the kids game, so he should be able to win this thing in like two seconds flat I know I'm overthinking this but who cares.  My mind can't even handle it Why isn't Lola Bunny hot anymore? But don't think about it. Look at the crowd. Look at all the people There's the Batman characters from the 70s show who are for some reason not actually watching the ballgame in front of them They're just making dumb-ass faces looking around like And then me Seriously the live-action characters who by the way look nothing like the original actors who played them They were all obviously shot ahead of time and then green screen popped into this film And they were just told to make the most over-the-top obnoxious facial expressions.  I actually chuckled at the only part I said that was kind of funny says Michael Jordan's here You know the guy from the first film he the basketball player slash baseball player slash living legend He's gonna come in and talk to LeBron and it's gonna be this epic moment and they're really building it up So clearly I already know Michael Jordan's not coming in and there's gonna be some stupid joke But in comes Michael B Jordan the actor and I thought okay that was kind of funny even though I knew something was gonna happen and wouldn't be Michael Jordan that was kind of funny And I look over and none of the kids know Michael B. Jordan So this joke once again showcases that this movie doesn't know how to write a script for both adult and kid at the same time It just goes all in one way or the other and so I had to stop and be like yeah His name is Michael B. Jordan. He's an actor. He's he's creed in which the kids were like And I'm like Killmonger from Black Panther and like oh Like all right. Let's let's keep watching So while the joke worked for maybe 25% of the audience It's also Simultaneously kind of a screw you to the fans of the first movie or just people that know the first film Which is I would assume mostly everybody watching this one that wanted to see Michael Jordan Because now I'm thinking all right film you teased him you better come through with the actual Michael Jordan before this is over I didn't really have any expectations, but now you're setting the stakes. You're basically saying we're Acknowledging Michael Jordan the first film. We're gonna come through with it and they don't He never shows up Well done. I should have expected nothing less from this turd factory since this basketball game has no rules at all And nothing makes sense Don Cheadle decides at the end I'm gonna power up and become the basketball player why he didn't do this to begin with I'll never know because I figure beating LeBron James as a better basketball player would be even you know That would be like the ultimate right since you apparently have a hard on for this guy Why not beat him at his own game?   I think in this with this time, dude, and then the Roadrunner gets a little one as well So this just there's no creativity anywhere in this film spoiler alert the tune squad wins Everything goes back to how it should be Thanks. I don't know what really happens to the the server verse. I guess I guess algae rhythms is dead There's something who cares e3's back the kids get Dom's going to e3 LeBron James grew as a person And I die a little bit more inside. I'm giving Space Jam a new shit-a-see Five out of 1,000 rabbits feet They make a rabbit's foot joke in this and then these these scores are highly inconsistent If you saw Space Jam a new legacy and agree with me leave me a comment to tell me something You loved about it. If you did in fact like it. Why? Alright, that's the show. Thanks for watching and hopefully I'll see you next time No, Lola didn't even move it a little when she showed up. Oh, they're still here Hey, thanks again for watching. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't I put out videos weekly. It's it's a good time We have fun here.

Hello everyone. So, my name is Jishnu Jay Raju. I have been ranked 132 in the recent examination I am basically from Trivandrum Kerala. I have done my BTEC in mechanical engineering and I passed it in 2013. This is my fifth main my fourth interview. So, currently I am working as a manager in the Bank of India Mumbai. So, pretty what to say like seriously very overwhelmed with the result. I was not expecting this good rank. This has been a long journey because I had multiple attempts, multiple failures and this is the first time getting into the ranked list. So, many people to thank obviously, first of all my parents who trusted in on me to clear the examination and my friends, my teachers. I am definitely missing Shankar sir here because my optionalist geography he used to get me like anything correcting my answers even for interview he was a very big guide for me. So, dedicated my success to all teachers especially Shankar sir. My message to the aspirants is that I think I am the biggest testimony of perseverance like if you believe that you can do it and if you have put in good effort, good much efforts to clear the examinations I believe someday you will take success. So, thanks again all the best to all.

In the weeks and months ahead of us, there is a very real possibility that we could see the virus regain a foothold in our local communities, towns and cities. Now none of us wants to see that happen again. 2020 has been an incredibly difficult year. We have all sacrificed so much. Ffamilies eithaf oeddo i gweithio. Ffaf yw oeddo i gweithio a gydaeth. Felly mae'n gyfnodd gyntaf. Felly mae'n gweithio. Felly mae'n gweithio'r llyfr yn ôl. Felly mae'n gweithio ffair o gweithio.

That message needs to be followed by workers and employers alike. And only six people can meet indoors while we make sure that those six people are all part of our single extended household. We need to wear face coverings on public transport in shops and in enclosed public spaces. And please think carefully about making journeys only travel when you need to do so. The fewer people we meet and the fewer journeys we make, the safer we all are. Now to reinforce these measures we will introduce some additional new national actions. To help people who are asked to self-isolate, we will provide a £500 payment to support those people on low incomes to take that action. We will strengthen our regulations to ensure that employers support those who need to self-isolate in this way. And we will change the rules for the sale of alcohol so that from Thursday at 6pm, hospitality businesses in Wales including pubs, cafes and restaurants and casinos will have to close at 10pm. They will also have to provide a table service only. Off licences including supermarkets will also have to stop selling alcohol at 10 o'clock in the evening. Now in some parts of south Wales where we have seen the sharpest rises in cases, there are already even stricter local restrictions in place to protect people's health. We now need to make that difference again across the whole of Wales. It is your efforts that have helped us to get through the first wave in the spring. You have followed the rules and helped reduce the cases of coronavirus protecting the NHS and saving lives. We now need everybody to follow the rules and guidance and to take the steps to protect them and their loved ones. Together we can keep Wales safe. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd.


So Arnold, and I'm from a company called Swift Stack, one of the founders here. And today we have the opportunity to talk about some of the use cases where people are using Swift. And so what we're going to do is we're going to be able to walk through three use cases. First, we're going to talk about ancestry.com. And then we're going to have the opportunity to talk to a couple of other folks. So someone from HP might gas away from HPIT. And Scotty Miller from DreamWorks. So it's a pretty cool opportunity. Unfortunately, Jordan couldn't make the summit, unfortunately. And he's asked me to present a few of the slides. I'm going to go through and tell the use case and tell the story. And then we'll invite Scotty Miller for DreamWorks and Mike Gasway from HP up on the stage. And we'll talk about what they're doing. So that's the agenda for the next 40 minutes. All right, so to get started, this is a story about how ancestry is moved away from a traditional scale out NAS and started to use object storage and the story of what they did. And so Jordan presented this, so I'm happy to be able to walk through this. So who's familiar with ancestry.com? I mean, it's pretty popular web service, right? I know somebody in my family uses it, too. And they're always sending me photos and getting me to fill stuff out. And what it does, it allows you to put your genealogy online. And not only can you upload photos and records of you and your family and old photos, but then you can also start to dig through historical records and they analyze that data and connect the dots. So that's what ancestry.com does. And it's not just ancestry.com, but they also have a few products that other folks might not be aware of. They have a pure archiving, military records, and newspapers and some of the genealogy stuff. Data is a really big part of their business. And they collect and they categorize and they organize a really tremendous amount of data. Because it's not just about data that people upload into it, but it's also the data that they purchase and they collect. They have rooms of these folks that actually will take these archives that they will purchase and then they'll record them. And so they're kind of carefully making sure that they scan and enter in the data correctly. They have a DNA testing product where they will mail you a swab, a tissue swab, and they will sequence that data. And then when you do that with several family members, it'll connect all up. And then do a lot of other media things, TV shows. I don't know if you've seen some of those things. They're storage workflow. So as you can imagine, they have a lot of small file workloads in ancestry.com. And so that's 100k to 2 megabyte files. So it's getting a high resolution scan of a document from somebody immigrating into a country. There's also user uploaded content that they store. And that data, the processed images and the user uploaded, those are, think of that as long tail data that will get requested by users in the application. But then they also have an archive where they keep the original content, the original high resolution raw data of the actual file. So that's separately stored offline. So what they had was a traditional scale out NAS. And when people were building applications, they would connect, they would create a volume and mount that to the server that was receiving, it was serving up that data. And they do that over SIFS, NFS, SMB type of interface. But there were some challenges with that. So cost was one big one because they would buy from vendors where they buy an appliance model. And so they were forced to buy when they upgraded from that particular vendor in order to expand the footprint. They didn't have the same type of industry standard APIs. They were serving out HTTP, but then they were talking SIFS or NFS to their storage. So it's some scaling problems, renewals, licensing, and then just the management of having lots of volumes to manage. So they knew they needed a change. And so the way they executed this change, and we'll hear some of this from DreamWorks later on, is they built a bit of middleware that was a service layer between the storage system and the application tier. And what that meant was that they could change out the underlying storage system and put new things in and do a migration over a period of time. And so that was the strategy that they took in order to get to object. And so some of the requirements that they wanted to have for the next generation storage. So one was using open source software. They really wanted to use a REST API. They wanted to minimize vendor lock-in so they could use different vendors if one vendor came along with a different hardware price point, commodity hardware. And we'll hear more about this later on too. Getting close to the price of a drive is a goal that they had. So when new denser drives were available on the market, they could buy those and then put them directly into the system. They wanted scalability so they can keep adding and growing the system. Object storage multi-data center, so that way they could say for an archive tier put across multiple data centers and keep things low-cost. Now they also wanted some of the performance characteristics from a traditional NAS so they needed to maintain that performance level but they still wanted things like snapshots, versioning and some of the disaster recovery characteristics. So that was sort of their list they wanted to go through. So they took a look at Swift and the thing with Swift is it's a, they were going for the high availability, distributed across multiple data centers and across multiple nodes rather than a RAID model. And they were okay with an eventually consistent model which means that when they put data into the system they're gonna be putting in new objects and when they go retrieve that object they're not trying to say distribute a lock around it. Now an eventually consistent storage system is not necessarily gonna be good for running databases or running operating systems but it's perfect for storing these documents and these images and then serving them out over the internet. So it just matched the use case really well. They chose to store with three replicas and one of the things that they did notice they were very interested in OpenStack but they wanted to start with storage and they could implement Swift without necessarily bringing up in a whole OpenStack environment and that allowed them to tackle just the storage problem first before they moved on and worked on the rest of their compute problems. So a few components and what we'll do is we're gonna walk through a few of the components in Swift and we're gonna map that to some of the hardware that they decided to purchase. So we can get a flavor for what that hardware does. So the roles in a Swift cluster there's a proxy server and that's on the front end. It receives the incoming storage requests and if it routes the requests to the appropriate storage, the object storage nodes, then there's the account and container server and what that does is it keeps track of what objects are grouped together. Now not from a pre-request basis but when you list objects and you want to organize them, that's what the account and container server are used for and so you have accounts that point to containers and containers that point to object and that record keeping is used not to service requests but so you could do things like list what objects are in a container, what account has which containers in them. So it's a grouping function and then we have the object servers themselves and they actually store the data. Then there's a data structure in Swift called the ring and what that does is it takes a URL and we heard Chris talk about this early in one of his sessions, it takes that URL and it maps it down to physical locations on the object server and there's a ring for each container and objects and that's what gives Swift its ability to add and grow capacity. You make modifications to that ring, you distribute that out to the cluster, you add additional hardware, you make modifications ring and you distribute it out. So that's the strategy for scaling out the environment. There's multiple regions that they wanted to take advantage of and that gave them the ability to just deploy a single storage server in two data centers and if one of those data centers say we're to entirely go offline, they would still have one up and operational and you'll see this why this is important later on in some of the benchmarking. So in their use case, they wanted to make sure that they could survive a full data center outage and still have an operating website. So they reached out to us and listed us to use our product around OpenStack Swift. So we've been working really hard in the Swift community. We have the project technical lead, so SwiftStack does a lot of development in the Swift community. It's a broad ecosystem, a lot of participants in that community and what we've done is we've built a product to make it easy to deploy, operate and scale a Swift, a Swift cluster, so that's what we do and this is a screenshot of that product and really what that allowed them to do was instead of having to get ramped up and be Swift experts themselves, they could use a tool to do a lot of the management of the Swift environment for them. So the hardware. So the nodes that they decided to pick were they got these from Redapt, which is a partner that we work with and they're fairly dense storage nodes. There's a storage head and then there's an 84 SAS hard drives and this is a bit more power than what we typically see for people who are doing an archival use case and if you think about this use case, what they're doing isn't necessarily archiving data, they are serving data, long tail assets out to users. So there's a lot of performance in these systems. The account container, which has some of that metadata, we are using, there's an SSD tier to cache some of that data so we can ingest all of those archives and those uploads that they're receiving from their end users and this allows us to keep track of them and give good performance on that. And then the proxy nodes. Now, these are just a 1U server and 10 gigabit in and out of the rack and so that's the hardware that they set up and this is the hardware rack for the serving out a lot of the data. So when they went to go benchmark, the nutshell is it was three times what they needed to sustain for their production workload and what they did was they ran benchmark and we have very good testing tools so we could profile the workload that they needed in order to service their application which was a mix of reads and writes. So they did a couple of tests, one with a 10% write ratio to read ratio and 5% and 95% and it met the expectations that they needed, three times in fact. So we're really happy with the performance of the Swift environment. And so really what this means is they could take standard off the shelf equipment, apply software onto it and exceed the performance that they were getting out of their traditional NAS for this use case which was long tail storing and serving image assets for ancestry.com. It's pretty cool. We're really happy with these results. So next steps with them is to handle the backup. So we've done a Commvault integration where you can take Commvault Simpana and those will be backed up into Swift so that's a project they wanna take on. Swift storage policies, this is the ability to carve out different pools of infrastructure for different use cases and they can do things like have reduced redundancy or for the archived here when they wanna be extra careful, they can have say a more sophisticated or ratio coding seam in there. And there is some use cases where they wanna have even more performance on highly very popular content that can be put on an SSD tier. Now, when they take on their OpenStack project, the Swift cluster will be the backup storage for Glance and some of the Docker images that they're gonna be storing in there. And that is it, that's the use case that ancestry.com is using with Swift. So thanks for listening to that and I'd like to invite my gas away from HP up here and Scotty Miller from DreamWorks, if you don't mind. Welcome them, yeah, yeah, that's it. All right, so this session's all about use cases and Scotty, I'll start with you. Just introduce yourself and explain what your role is at DreamWorks and what is the need for object storage for you within DreamWorks? Sure, my name's Scotty Miller, I'm a technologist in the Technology Operations Group. I focus primarily on our HPC environment, storage, asset preservation, editorial, post-production. Our need is similar to Ancestry, a typical animated movie for us. You get a 90-minute movie, it's 130,000 individual frames at 48 Hertz, takes about 500 million files to create that final movie product. We complete two movies a year, so about a billion new files a year that we wanna preserve forever. Potentially monetize, use for sequels, use for TV programs, use for consumer products. We've been doing all this work on traditional scale-out NAS products and a couple of factors have come into play. The cost of traditional scale-out NAS is much higher than the object store, as Jill mentioned. For us, though, we're also faced with the desire to collaborate globally. So we're using object stores in two places. One is in the global collaboration. We've actually been doing that for almost three years now. We started with HP's public cloud using Swift and some various gateway products to share data sets between our US and India operations. That gave us experience of Swift as an API, got us comfortable with the notion of eventual consistency, you can't, you have to educate your developers. One of the things you have to think about in your use cases is people who are used to traditional file service, atomic sort of operations and locking, they're gonna have a little bit of an education. One of the things that's interesting in a public cloud implementation of Swift is that eventual consistency window can be minutes long. So we had to learn how to deal with that. So that use case is collaboration and the other use case for us is asset preservation. Very much like Ancestry, most of our data set is cold, long tail, write once, maybe read once, but it has value. And if you can preserve that data and reuse it in the future and make revenue, then it's an asset. If it costs you more to keep it or you can't find it and you can't monetize it, then it's a liability. It doesn't make sense to pay to keep liabilities around. Our other use case is a little bit non-traditional for Swift. The intent is to use it as a replacement for tier one performance scale out NAS in our computational rendering environment. The intent there is replace our asset management system, which has been database backed file system based with one that's database backed but Swift based. By, we built a middleware piece similar to what Ancestry did that all of our applications can talk to. It's an asset management middleware, not necessarily a storage middleware, but it provided a place to do storage location transparency, to do storage protocol type transparency and provide an access gateway that the applications can say, I just need to get the Shrek model and that it's in Swift or that it's in Swift that originated in Bangalore, doesn't matter. So long-term asset preservation is the first use case, cheap and durable. And then tier one and a half storage, I get to call it, is the other use case where we're trying to replace primary NAS with Swift. Thanks, Mike. So what are the challenges that you were facing inside of HP to serve internal assets and what did you come across as solutions for using, with using Swift? Our primary use case for Swift is similar to Ancestry in the way that I work primarily on the storage team and we were looking for a cloud based storage solution for a specific use case of Sync and Share for all of our end users within HP. And so we didn't need the full open stack architecture at that time, so we just brought up Swift and what we were looking for was something that would be easy to manage short on people, you know the story. And so that's when we turned to Swift stack for that particular need. Pushing out Swift and then eventually developing the app for the Sync and Share service that is now pushed out to all of HP. Yeah, so to share a little bit about dealing with, I mean there's a lot of employees at HP and so what kind of, what did you pick up in order to be able to serve out all of those users and support all those users? Like on the authentication side. Oh, so we use LDAP for authentication and one of the things, or one of the components that we needed from Swift was to be able to use LDAP authentication in that and in that process, we worked with Swift stack to get that development into the Swift stack product so that we could tie it in to our LDAP infrastructure. And then would you share a little bit about the product that you selected for file Sync and Share? So I think that's another cool use of this. Yeah, that product is actually a product from GladNet that we rebranded under, it's called HP Data Drive and that product has an agent that runs on everybody's desktop and will Sync and Share to their mobile devices, laptops, Macs, it doesn't matter what they use and stores the data in their quota, 25 gigabyte quota on the object store. Cool, cool.  So what are the steps involved, right? You have the models that are- You're stealing my thunder from my Thursdays talk.  Sure, so it is an interesting process. Most people only realize that before I go there, I wanted to do another plug for Swift stack middleware. One of our requirements for our asset management system was the ability to have object immutability, which is something that's not in native Swift. We had a lot of talks about what did immutability mean in an eventually consistent environment where you have multiple writers around the globe and we ended up with Swift stack working on an engineering spec to build a delegated authorization middleware piece that for certain objects in certain marked containers with certain headers in the put command will call out to an authentication server that we provide that will decide whether or not that object could be written, deleted or whatever. Huge, getting that and that was about three weeks of engineering work and we had ship delivered software. That would have been two years with the traditional NAS vendor. It's the joy of open source is that you can talk to people. They agree it's a good idea and you get it done. A big win for us. The animation process is, it's a three to five year process per film and it starts out with, hey I have a good idea, let's make a movie about an ogre to release date. In the first two years or so, it's primarily developing models, developing the look of the characters, figuring out what the story looks like and what the environment looks like. Very small compute demand. Very small but very critical storage demand. At that time we're creating storyboards which are hand drawn rough drafts of the movie if you will that people want to play back with synced audio. We iterate on that for quite a long time. There's a famous quote by DaVinci that says, art is never complete, it's only abandoned. George Lucas says movies are never finished, only released. So it's an artistic endeavor much like software development. There's always one more fix or one more tweak or one more thing you want to change. There's a name for it but I can't say it in polite company. So we iterate up until about the last 12 to 16 months of the movie and then we turn the knob up to high resolution, 2K full color fidelity, left eye, right eye stereoscopic and then that's when the compute kicks in. A typical movie consumes 80 to 100 million CPU hours of compute. It generates as I mentioned 250,000 final frames of movie plus the 500 million or so intermediate files that are both the source code and the work by products that make in the film. Add to that, you have to dub into 45 different languages and do any text in the film in those native languages and you get quite a few combinatorics. So all this stuff is right one's valuable dataset which is why the object store makes sense for both that middle or asset management, the final frames as they're delivered and then the preservation footprint we keep forever. Cool. You know I also wanted to make a comment about working with the open source community because there was a need that we had as well. So since the time that we've pushed out SWIF, we've also pushed out HP Helion, integrated that into our SWIFs cluster and we had a need for the V3 support and we came to your company and within a week we had that support or that fixed back. It was amazing. V3 for Keystone? Yeah. Good. And so then what's the use kit? So then what are the use case that you're integrating Helion and the SWIF environment? So how are you seeing that integration work? Well that integration allowed us to do full LDAP support through Keystone into SWIFT allowing complete access through Helion into SWIFT and back again. All right, so what's the future of, what are some of the next projects that you're planning on taking on with an HP IT to use, right? So you have the storage system, you're not just using it for one thing, now you're using it for both files you can share and it's backing up an open-sac SWIF cluster. What's next on the right? So of course we store all of our glance images in there and then we'll also be using it to back up tenant images when they want to use that function. So that'll be probably the biggest next use cases is backup, image backup. Can I get an idea? Just like the, not necessarily scale if you don't want to share that but what type of hardware that you guys are, have chosen to run the system on? Sure. We run obviously HP hardware. It's HP DL380s on the proxy front end with SSD and then we run DL380s with a J-Bod very similar to Ancestries. We run a two-node header in that split between the two, I'm sorry, between the J-Bod on the back end. So each node basically has 45 disks assigned to it. What kind of time does it take to operate the cluster for you on an ongoing basis? On an ongoing basis, it's extremely stable for us and I wish there were some wood I could knock on just because you know how that works but extremely stable, ongoing, we're probably about maybe half an FTE. What kind of hardware are you guys selecting? Similar, the proxy nodes, the account container nodes are DL360s and 380s, we're also an HP hardware shop. Our storage nodes are SL4540s which are an HP product that has one, two or three controllers in either 60, 50 or 25, sorry, 60, 50 or 15 drives per. We're using the 60 drive one controller base, we have eight of them in California and two different fire zones to make two regions and then a set of them in Bangalore, India to be the third region. Right, right on, right on. And we are spread site to site as well. So we actually have three different storage policies that we use depending on if it's a single site application then they can fall into one of the two sites and then we have a site to site which is a four replica policy. That's awesome. Any questions from anybody in the audience who would like to ask any questions from these folks? Really? Don't feel bad. I've been asking questions. You don't have to learn stuff, you gotta ask questions. Well, I appreciate everyone coming in and listening to some of these use cases who have found it informative and let's give it, let's thank Mike and Scott for sharing with us. Thanks so much.
