What's good jobs your boros back again with another video. So we're gonna check out see him punk versus Roman Reigns by none other than Polana Productions This is an interest interesting. I guess you could say debate or interesting topic to bring up I'm wondering if he's gonna go with the route of who is the biggest star right now Is it see him punk his triumph it triumph it return? I can't even speak right now his return to wrestling as a whole or is it Roman Reigns who's been holding it down? for WWE Since SummerSlim of last year. So I'm not sure we're gonna see what Argument he bring up with discussions. He brings up, but appreciate all the love and support roll to CCK and let's get right into it when see him punk return to professional wrestling and made his debut in AEW He instantly became the biggest superstar in that promotion. It's not even a question to be honest Not even close see him punk is hands down the hottest act in AEW On the other hand Roman Reigns is the biggest superstar in the WWE right now It's been like that for about five years now, and it's even more evident since turning heel in 2020 Roman Reigns is basically the WWE. He's the Like he said in his match with John Cena. I am WWE Roman Reigns is WWE at this point I think a lot of people check out WWE just to see what Roman Reigns is gonna say and or do or who he's gonna face and How he's gonna win. That's pretty much WWE right now Roman Reigns most important figure and he made events every pay-per-view and has the biggest programs on Each show this begs the important question Who is the bigger star right now in wrestling? Is it see him punk or is it Roman Reigns on a recent podcast? Jim cornet actually said that see him punk was the bigger star between the two and then Roman Reigns even took a shot at See him punk by tweeting that he's the real needle-moving draw that helps Smackdown surpass two million viewers last week Because of all wow Smackdown had over two million viewers. That's nice I mean Smackdown, there's no denying it. We all know Smackdown is the a-show.   No, it's not even arguably. This is the best run for Roman Reigns career ever I don't know if it gets any better than this only time will tell but he is carrying Smackdown and he's carrying WWE on his back. Yeah, I probably think I'm gassing But let's be honest. I haven't been disinvested in a storyline in a wrestler in a person Since Daniel Bryan for me personally just like actually invested in every match in every segment that they're in It's probably be Daniel Bryan would be the last person. I was probably invested this much in WWE all this talk I thought it would be a fun video to analyze which wrestler is the bigger star right now And we're gonna make a case for both CM Punk and Roman Reigns And I will give you my final verdict at the end of the video. We'll see without further We're gonna make the case for CM Punk first because his return is still fresh before CM Punk left WWE He was one of their top stars from 2011 through 2013 CM Punk was at the prime of his career Regardless of what WWE thought he was the bigger star than John Cena in 2011 and probably 2012 WWE never made him the number one guy because he probably Organically got over with the audience, which is something that Vince McMahon does not like it's bizarre that they have that mindset But it does happen doesn't make the same thing happened to Jeff Hardy when he was the hottest thing in 2009 Anyways, CM Punk was big. He was doing huge numbers His merchandise was always out of stock. See him put run was so impressive This is why I'm so confused at what our truth is saying when CM Punk was way more over In our truth in the midst around this time pit, but hey, what do I know because he brought back a generation of wrestling fans Me being one of them deadass People really started watching again because of one man CM Punk had true star power Unfortunately, he left in the prime of his career because of his mistreatment from the WWE and their doctors If he stayed he could have possibly died because of his injuries that they were not treating him with well enough Outside of that his mental health was also deteriorating it was time for him to leave despite being one of the biggest stars at the time and so CM Punk left and it sucked WWE felt very weird without CM Punk His last moment in the company was being eliminated from the Royal Rumble by Kane It was not anything to be too proud of no when he first left people were constantly chanting his name hoping that he would come back But that was not the case It would happen for a few months before fans would finally give up the occasional CM Punk chance would make some appearances, especially at the Chicago shows, but it was fading away I still find it impressive that people were still chanting for him years after he left after After seven long years, he finally came back to professional wrestling and this obviously was not with the WWE CM Punk would make his debut with AEW last week on rampain one of if not the greatest return of All-time in wrestling This is easily up there, especially from me one of the greatest returns to wrestling Or just you could put this in just one of the greatest returns in general. This was Legendary I'm going to find myself Years from now always going back to watch that video because it always gives me goosebumps CM Punk's rumored this was a rumor at the time was a rumor debut not even officially announced Managed to sell out the United Center. It was the largest crowd that AEW has ever had Also attracted an additional 400,000 new viewers to watch rampage on cable making it a complete success That is a huge jump more importantly is the YouTube views CM Punk's debut was posted on AEW's channel and it generated over seven million viewers I say this is more important because it shows the true interest in CM Punk It's pretty difficult to get fans to watch a show on a Friday night at 10 p.m Especially when you consider that cable is not what it used to be true I think it's very clear that nearly 10 million people wanted to see CM Punk after his AEW rampage debut AW also announced that he would appear on Dynamite this week That show had a 20% increase in his leadership from the prior week That's crazy is clearly popular enough to attract around 300,000 viewers But does that make him the bigger star than Roman Reigns? Interesting debate that that is awesome to know that he was able to gain like get more people to check out AEW Dynamite AEW rampage that's That's how you know you have star power the fact they sold out on a rumor That's it. That's crazy, man. That's so dope While CM Punk spent the last seven years away from professional wrestling Roman Reigns would continue to grow as Vince McMahon made it his mission to become the biggest star for the WWE to take the mantle away from John Cena Roman Reigns instantly main evented WrestleMania the year after he split from his former faction in 2015 Reigns and Brock Lesnar put on a classic match that would be the beginning of the Young Stars push That was a good match. After that he would start a very long program with Triple H and Vince McMahon throughout 2015 and 2016 that ultimately ended with another main event match at WrestleMania 32 with Roman Reigns Defeating Triple H the next year after that Roman Reigns was back in the main event picture But this time around it was with the undertaker where he would actually defeat the dead man to become the second person To beat him at WrestleMania Roman Reigns did not stop there No, WrestleMania 34 was just around the corner And that is where he main evented yet again another mania with Brock Lesnar for the second time Things slowly shifted away for a bit because Roman Reigns was diagnosed with leukemia But he recovered quickly to make a grand return at WrestleMania 35 I want to say this he I mean he's not mentioning it, but during those main events Roman was a face, but people were not feeling him They weren't he was having some decent solid to good matches But people didn't they they didn't want him to be the guy and now that he is the guy It's it's one of those things where it's like This should have happened years ago. They should have turned some heel years ago but hey, we've got the Roman Reigns character that we should have gotten many many years ago and It's it's working out for him. So but at the time I remember those WrestleMania's did not really too much care for him Outside of WrestleMania 31. I thought that one that match was actually pretty good I enjoyed that match a lot, but people were not trying to borrow into Roman Reigns This match was not too special. It was against Drew McIntyre It was more about the big dog coming back to WWE in such a short time to show off his resilience Fast forward to WrestleMania 37 and that was where it was back in the main event scene of WrestleMania and Daniel Bryan and Edge We're unfortunate to go out to suffer a loss by the hands of the Fantastic man. I think it's safe to say that ever since turning heel Roman Reigns has been carrying the entire wrestling industry for the last 365 days this new version of Roman Reigns is producing the best work in the wrestling scene And it's not even close being the cornerstone of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world Does help a lot with star power when you think of WWE nowadays John Cena and Roman Reigns are the two names that typically pop up I also think that Roman Reigns is only going to become a bigger star after this new program with Brock Lesnar And then after that he is gonna be involved in the biggest storyline of his career when he eventually wrestles his cousin the rock put in a Star like Dwayne Johnson in an important WrestleMania main event when Roman Reigns is going to rub off a lot of star power Not gonna lie to you They're feeding people to Roman and I'm telling you if they're able to pull this off Roman versus the rock bruh Talk about Monumental old goosebumps That's a main event. That's a WrestleMania main event and You have Roman win You have him win because the next person that actually beats Roman and take the title from him He is instantly a mega star because he beat Roman Reigns Amen Our and you also have to consider that this year's SummerSlam was the most watched SummerSlam of all time Wow was headlined by none other than John Cena and Roman Reigns is all the work that Vince McMahon put into Roman Reigns enough to make the claim that he is the biggest star in the business today It's a final verdict man What about this and now we are at the end of the video and I need to make my official take Who is the bigger star CM Punk or Roman Reigns? I'm gonna have to go with Roman Reigns. This might upset some people But I think it's the stone-cold truth Roman Reigns has been involved in way too many WrestleMania main events with too many legends It also helps that he's the top guy for the bigger company that has more of a legacy and a lot more people know about WWE versus AEW the WWE reaches numbers that AEW isn't even close to I know that it feels like CM Punk is the bigger star right now because his return is still relatively fresh But that will eventually fade away in a few months He's still going to be a big star in wrestling, but he's not gonna be bigger than Roman Reigns I guess the best way to put it is that Roman Reigns is professional wrestling right now the same way that Hogan was Professional wrestling in the 80s stone cold was professional wrestling in the 90s and Cena was professional wrestling in the last 15 years Anyways, that is it for the video guys. Thank you so much for watching. I hope y'all enjoyed if you did Please make sure to leave a like and subscribe. Wow. I see how you broke it down. Um If I had to give my honest opinion here, the bigger star steel is Roman Reigns, I know there's gonna be some people like, oh, how could you say that? Cena punk is the bigger star Hear me out The reason why I say that is because one Cena punk just got back and everyone's on this this emotional high and they're loving it because no one thought really Believe like people were unsure if he was really going to return to wrestling now. He's back in wrestling What's gonna really? Kind of I guess you can guess you can say gauge the true star power here is of course How all his matches go the potential feuds he's gonna have that's what's going to Really solidify who's the bigger star because what's making Roman Reigns the bigger star in my opinion It's because of the feuds the matches. He's been involved in he has been involved in some Fantastic matches for me personally The I think the lowest rated match I've given him probably it's maybe like a seven out of ten since last year He's been involved in fantastic matches Main event quality matches since last year of some since summer summer last year and His whole character demeanor is literally carrying WWE I don't think a lot of people watch Smackdown or the pay-per-views or even interested in WWE as much if Roman isn't at the top of the card You know saying having these great views and storylines. So I'm interested to see how AEW Does with seeing punk and his feuds and his storylines That's going to be the real telling part if they're able to give us some great fantastic matches and consistently and His storylines are always the ones that make you want to check out the show just to see what's gonna happen with him punk consistently then Later down the road We can really have this debate. Like I said right now. I'm gonna have to give it some Roman Reigns because For the past year now. He has been the personification of WWE and I Do believe CM Punk can rival that I do believe if AW books incorrectly makes You know creates, you know new stars with CM Punk just off his name alone and have Fanta fantastic matches and and have fantastic storylines. I think In a year's time you could possibly see CM Punk really rivaling I can't even talk CM Punk really going against Roman Reigns as Arguably one of the best in the industry today. So comment down below Let me know this was gonna really spark up some conversation. This is just my opinion on it I want everyone's opinion. Who do you think is the biggest star right now? Roman Reigns or CM Punk? Let me know give your reasons why and why not appreciate our love and support Road to 60k appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all in the next one. Peace


Can I a major damage? You just you won't go right in like that.   It like ain't great. Oh you was a bad motherfucker like not really because I was broke So I'll have to ask my grandmother like grandma cuz my parents forget about it like I go to my grandmother and be like And I remember she was like, okay do this and it was like something like she just wanted me to fight for a great graduation She got me the Gucci bag.  What year was this about? 1990 The cry the game you would come out. Yeah, you was riding Gucci. I mean just a bag But then I had like the fact. Oh, no, I'll tell you real I had the loafers to the year after that and I Really really remember this because I remember I stepped on my block with some Farragamo loafers But this may be later than this by five years late like 95 and I had also Farragamo loafers and I live in the hood I'm from 79th and Southside Chicago. So People don't to this day. Ain't no other Farragamo loafers been on my block with these And so I'm about to some Farragamo loafers and one of my homies was like, bro I only heard Nas rap about that. He was like, how you think of that? And I was like, man, I just heard somebody rap about it. Oh, one minute.  I do stuff with Basketball companies the NBA shoe brands Tell them some of the brands. Tell them some of your sneakers. So Nike converse and Jordan and Yeah, I'm just a Mitchell and that's new era, you know Mostly sneakers and sports because that's what I'm really into but I'm also in the fashions But I'm I don't look at myself as a fashion person because I'm primarily Embedded in sports the bottom line is down see is from the hood and here producer fly shit If you don't know that that that could sum it all up Oh, but go back to the you know go back to how you was killing them coming up, you know Man just trying to be fresh and trying to represent as funny I did a talk with my friend. I've been earlier today and I've been drew a very important point to me He said what made us different honestly was we were hip hop we were the first crew that Took hip hop from Chicago like me and my peers everything Chicago is a city that's cemented in house and dance culture in gang culture That's what you the gangbanger or you a dance do we came in like we hip hop and I remember originally people was dissing us like And I said probably not New York we Chicago we just hip hop. We're just Chicago hip hop And so that's what I think made us special and from hip hop came all this other stuff We're experiencing today. So hip hop is really the core. I think that's the dominating Factor that makes the things that move today move is it's all you say hip hop because it's a mix Hip hop music is the culture. Yeah. Yeah lifestyle of hip hop like Yeah, I mean, you know dj The and not just rap music is not hip hop.  Let's come out this day. And I said, I thought I was You know, but it's all good I'm happy that more people jumped on and the community is bigger because now it just makes it funner You know if more people participate more people delivering doper product more people encouraging each other to make they something better So it just makes the whole game better when everybody's participating. All right, which one you pick him You only could pick one you got a rock these for the rest of your life I would never show this you got it. You got it. You got it to pick one. This is one of this The Charles Barclays see the CV to Jones the Dion San is with the flames on there Okay, all the pennies the number two I'm gonna go to bark because I'm a force basketball head. So All right, you only gonna listen to one of these groups for the rest of your life. Oh, no And w a public enemy brand new band tribe called quest daylight so Answer you try it was easy to who sang and tribes. So you say Cuz for me it's for me is who tried Component or a this is like my favorite hip-hop. What about my feet? Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Okay. All right, okay Okay, you got that stuff on that one. I'm tripping. I kind of forgot about my deep. I'm tripping. I was gonna say ultra magnetic Okay. All right, so hold on. Nah, I love ultra magnetic, but for the consistency of the whole body of work. I'ma go who Tried my being CNN I ain't that old so they didn't Like I'm just being real like the 90s is my era. So public enemy. You respected them. It's like oh geez, but You didn't want to be around them. Like I don't want to be Well now not but back then that's what I thought they didn't hear me like you man Yeah, cuz I was on some young Yeah, so you gotta let people do what they do and mature on a level So, you know, even when I look at guys today when people say like on this dude did this the whole thing When people canceling people is the worst thing in the world because when people make mistakes We supposed to be there for them so to cancel a person So anytime people do stuff that looks in the public like it's messed up I'll be having empathy for that person cuz I'd be like man this person they like me They just made a mess they they just messed up and they don't want people to like cancel them for messing up That's the point when you really need your people. So anytime people go in the down. I'm there to encourage you, bro I don't want people like out here Even if you mess up and you you could do whatever the most messed up thing in the world on up to it And come on back man.  I tell people I say man, bro Me and you we are absolutely no different. We come from the same block. We have the same opportunity I have never been given any opportunity you haven't been given. We can say it's just that I'm working every day Mm-hmm, and I want to encourage you to do the same That's what I tell my homies from the neighborhood.   They want to give up they don't understand design They don't understand what what what type of encouragement what type of game that you can get them to keep pushing They shit do they need to try to find a collab or do you know because we control cool?  Um The encouragement I could give that person is like Keep absolutely keep doing what you're doing Keep tweaking The formula when you're making something if it's a little too sweet if it's a little too bitter you tweak the formula a little bit So you keep testing your product and then tweaking the formula and keep doing that and a guy came to me earlier today He said man boy, I got my own clothing line. He gave me some encouragement on how to push it I said is this jacket your clothing line? He said oh no, it's off white. I said that's my first piece of encouragement You billboard or something else, you know, I just gotta keep it real I'm like right now.  This is my homeboy out of Philly shit, right? You see this this all this my this my brand or we control cool This is my logo street shotgun. You see the back.   This is my head.  So that's a real big one Like I'll be seeing some of my young guys they do incredible work and then they realize like oh, bro I got a cease to desist or hey, bro. I uh, man. I didn't even know This other company took this from me. So that's one thing really important. You got to be on top of your business, too That's why research is so important. Like we can educate ourselves on our phone google google We can like literally on your phone instead of On posting selfies and all that you could be doing research, man Like looking on your phone educating yourself about what you want to do Educating yourself about the business because that's another thing. I'm about to start like really switching up how I want to Uh, just try to help people with information Like people always come to me like I want to get my brand. I want to get my design out and what we lacking is uh financial Brains we're lacking uh executives in our community. Everybody is creative And so I just want to put a call out. We need some non creatives or some people that care flex They creative ability through Uh, as you keep yeah Like be creative with that spreadsheet With that deck or with your trademark man all type of business And so that's the one thing because I do feel like as much as I'm so happy that our community is like growing And we doing it if I was I'm one of them type of shorties I used to be looking back and like people would be applauding all the NBA players And I would be looking back like man NBA players make 200 million a year.  That's right, man. And so that's how I think about us when I look at us I say man Y'all killing it, but why y'all don't own everything. Why y'all why? So that's the importance I want to put out there now Like as much as I appreciate the big corporations coming in to latest platform for us here We got to partner with the corporations. We got to make them our partner and not just give them our IP Because if they giving you a check for your IP that means your IP works more than that Because this is a smart business entity. They about doubling and tripling they paper So they're not going to hit you with nothing that they just going to get their paper back on Whatever they hit you with mean a 10 time in that So we got to think like that and tell them we thinking like that Like be open and so that's that's the script. I have with the people that I work with I tell them like, hey, this is on my brain now. So one of the main things I can personally say what I'm into is like I'm trying to learn more about real estate because it's a lane that I haven't we always talk culture and and and uh creativity through but part of culture is money We got to learn it man. We got to learn how to manage the money We got to learn how to grow the money and let the money stay in our community And and make the community bigger because it's all about uh the the super Jewel, I feel I should drop here because somebody dropped this one on me today And I want to share it really good is that the number one asset we have in our community is our culture We have to figure out how to monetize our culture more Other people from outside of this community are the ones that are eating off this culture that we have created cultivated and flourished And other people are eating off of it now.  I ain't counseling. I'm not gonna man. I'm just saying man, bro How I feel about you is you from this and you in a position to help Can you do so? Can we have that open dialogue because you might not know their point of view too? They might not be in a position to help like you think they are, you know It might just be cat. Yeah, so it's all and at the end of the day we all The common goal is that we're all working to feed our families Yeah So I ain't never trying to make nobody feel bad on what they doing to put food on a family table Because I will wash a toilet bowl and proud for me. I won't give me yeah I ain't praying about my mom because if I if my family got to eat i'ma do it So we got off the key I guess with this but I want to I think it's important because it's necessary It's not just you get a game that you just basketball is everything is everything is encompassed. Yeah, and that's what I came for But listen, I appreciate you man. I like your spirit a lot man. I like uh bill with you We won't do that, bro. We won't connect man down C. Chicago, Philadelphia, man This should we control cool. Remember that made ours with a game bar soon. It's just like that All day see y'all


Hey everyone, welcome back to theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage, covering a day two HPE Discover live from the Venetian Expo Center, Lisa Martin with Dave Vellante, going to have a great conversation about digital real-time HPE's relationship what they've seen in the last year, Dave, and we might even touch on one of your topics, repatriation. Yeah, well, so data center's hot, right? I mean, it's been sort of booming for the last decade and it's heating up thanks to generative AI, which as we know, don't touch the AI, it's- Too hot. Yeah. Please welcome back one of our guests, Xavier Poisson, Global Vice President, Service Providers Business at HPE, and Colin McLean joins us as well, the Chief Revenue Officer at Digital Realty. Guys, it's great to have you on theCUBE. Thank you. Hi, you guys, good to see you. So a year since the relationship was announced, can't believe it's been already 12 months, 300 plus data centers, 50 plus metros, 27 countries, a global partnership delivering a consistent experience across customers. What are some of the market changes, Xavier, you've seen in the last year and are some of the things that you discussed last year still relevant? And then Colin will ask you the same question. So I believe that in most of the countries on the planet, we have seen new factors coming, which are the development of new kind of applications at the edge in different segments, in different industry verticals that are driving to even more consumption at the edge. The second point that I have seen dramatically and this is because of the uncertainty, the political uncertainty and everything around the consequences of the COVID is all about bringing back the digital asset in countries. Meaning I don't like to use the term sovereignty. And at the same time, people want to consume local services in every single country. And if you combine that with the edge and we could discuss on sovereignty for years, but if you combine that with the edge, this is creating an opportunity for digital reality plus you let back an enterprise which is absolutely unique on the market. What are your thoughts, Colin, in terms of the market changes in the last year? Do you agree with Xavier? Obviously a great partnership here and some of the things that were discussed last year, I know you weren't here, but the relevance today as the market is so different. Yeah, well, we're ecstatic with the HPE partnership for one. We've seen some already some great wins on the docket in the books and the growing pipeline overall. We feel like we complement what HPE is doing in Green Lake in a significant way. I mean, certainly the fact that we've all adopted this kind of hybrid IT, hybrid cloud strategies, multi-cloud world in which we're living in and the simplistic ability to deliver a single bill, a single platform strategy that HPE can deliver. We completely support that ubiquitously, really, because clients are seeing more and more needs to go global across our larger footprints.  So we talked quite a bit last year about that hybrid IT trend. We've seen it. I think that's complemented with what we're seeing in cloud, which cloud continues to grow, both public and private, as well as this emergence of AI, which you mentioned, which is a really interesting proposition. So we think that there's huge inroads of partnership. We're just getting started and we're excited to see where things go. And if I may, just to complement on the trends with what you said on what I say, there is a new conscience everywhere in the world or on sustainability. Because what I would say that in the past, people were speaking about that. Now they have rules they need to adapt to. And this is valid not only in Europe, where you know that EU Commission is putting very strict rules for data centers and cloud. And likewise, in the US now, we see that coming also. And when you combine the two forces of the company in this direction to offer this HP GreenLake Power solution, one single bill, something really for the customer, with these two companies who have done a fantastic job, HPE on one side, to show reality on the other side, on this sustainable effect. I believe that there is a road to go. Okay, so everybody has some cloud, but not everything's in the cloud. And so I'm inferring that you consider a digital realty colo as an edge to the cloud potentially. And then maybe it connects to your data center, maybe not. And then there's all kinds of other edges out there. So how do you think about edge? So this is always the conversation we had already some years ago. Cloud is everywhere. What we offer is a cloud that comes to you. We need to stop thinking of cloud as a public cloud. Stop. The cloud may be in public cloud. It may be on-prem. It may be just within a colo. It may be through a service provider. And when you look at the expansion of the power of the local service providers everywhere on the planet, this is exploding, man. It's not only the public cloud. Cloud is a delivery model. And what we are building together, and for end-user customers, and for service providers, why not? Because what we do applies also to service providers. Is the cloud that comes to you with two big partners, HP and digital realty, to have one single cloud that is fitting with your requirements? Sometimes out of that, people may go to the public cloud. Sometimes they will only keep private cloud. We don't care at one point of time about that because we bring the platform that enables them to do everything they want to do. And you know that when we bring systems into digital realty collocation, we use their power. We use all the efficiency they bring on that, and we put on top the HP green cloud platform. And from there, you can do what you want. So for me, I remain on that. I told you that a few years ago. This is it. Okay, but you're very passionate about this, and I appreciate that passion. I see the figures, man. I see the figures. But I will say this, while it's true, we talked about this a couple of years ago. You weren't in the position to be as forceful as you are today. Exactly. Because of where GreenLake is and how it has matured. Before, it was, you know, you had some services, and you could cobble together today. It's a true cloud operating model. And that's different. I think so. And also the point I was trying to make to you about it being a hybrid world is it's very much use case driven in terms of where a particular workload's going to live. And so whether that is to get specific apologies, public or private where it's going to live, whether you might have access requirements in a collocation data center to a cloud, one of the big three, that we feel like collocation is an abler for that workload to actually support its requirements wherever it may be. And so most often we feel like that's probably best placed in collocation in some ways because the varying density requirements that are associated with workload today. I mean, we're not just talking about the AI that's running at high density now to the rack. You're seeing much more standard enterprise compute that can be 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 KW per rack, which is in much ways enabled by what you can do within collocation. Yeah, I mean, everybody talks about data and gravity. We've talked about it for years, but the numbers don't lie. Only 14%, and I apologize, I'm going to use public cloud, but only 14% of customers will tell you they're all in on the public cloud. And if you ask them how that's going to change over the next two or three years, flat. So the vast majority of customers are hybrid. You guys have been saying that for a while and there's no debate anymore. Exactly, and when you see the rhythm of data creation at the edge with SunSource, with all the new digitization process in vertical industries, all the data needs to be there also for latency purpose. And this is where it is very interesting what we are doing because we bring the global solution near the customer. And this, as I believe, has a fantastic effect. Not speaking about the security aspect of that, because security is now a topic which is in the mind of every single customer. This customer may be a user, they may be service providers, and they care about that. And the reliability of what we get together combining the assets of HP on the stack with HP GreenLake and so on. And what digital reality has done to enhance security everywhere is absolutely unique. You can speak about the security aspect of what you do. It's really amazing. I'd love to hear more about that. I'd love you to. Yeah, well, I mean, certainly we have a high standard of resiliency, both physical and logical security within the framework of our co-location data centers. And so clients oftentimes have a particular expectation to make sure a workload is within whether I can touch or feel or see it within co-location versus it living an ubiquity in the cloud. I mean, one thing we've been consistent about is we're a big fan of the clouds. We do, we consider them partners. We consider us a core part of the supply chain. Cloud has been great for your business. Cloud's been great for us, so we're a big fan of cloud. But we also recognize that there is some private workload that needs to sit in co-location data centers because of security requirements that certain clients have. And we feel like that's justifiable. And in fact, we'll help our businesses grow. How have you seen things change, Colin? Particularly as we've seen the last few years of obviously major macroeconomic changes, but the security and the risk landscape has changed so much. In the last year alone, in the last couple of years, we've been talking a lot about cyber resiliency and how customers are on that journey. How is digital realty with HPE and GreenLake helping customers on that journey to cyber resilience? And what does it look like? Get there, if you can. So I think certainly one of the things we've been consistent about is that we're really good at what we do. We're kind of core layers here to the overall ecosystem. But we partner with key folks like HPE to really help deliver that security at a robust level. So we don't go up the stack in terms of delivering additional services. So we have a key resiliency in terms of cybersecurity, have robust standards, both physical and logical. Because remember, we actually have a physical asset layer that we have to protect. But there is a keen sense of making sure that customers want their data protected. Again, one of the values of co-location. So we put a keen value on that. So if I have HPE inside of a digital realty facility, and I'm a customer, staying on security, what's my responsibility? What's your responsibility? What's that dividing line look like? So we can speak about security from all the layers of the security stack. What I can tell you is that from the HPE GreenLake cloud platform, you will be able to monitor everything that is happening on your infrastructure from end to end. So this is something that is granting. I just want to call back the fact that everything that we do is based on the signal root of trust with attestation agents that are conveyed by HPE GreenLake in order that all your workloads are secured. Now, beyond simply the VMs, HPE has done a lot of investment through how we can manage distributed identity in a secure way. And this is what we did when we acquired a Spiffian Spire, for instance, to go up to getting microservices being really discussing together, not with the notion of a secret, but really discussing together with attestation that everything is coming together. So we come from the hardware layer with the zero trust and we move up the layers up to the application layer. So we are there on that. And for the physical security, for the telecommunication security, for the links, this is there. And so we bring to the customer an end to end contract and end to end capability, an end to end value proposition and SLA service level agreements that they can get and this is the beauty of joining the forces. What about repatriation? Are you guys repatriates? Or do you see, what does the data tell you? You're seeing the cloud growth come down. Actually, the on-prem growth has ticked up in many cases and there seems to be a little bit of an equilibrium possibly. But what are you seeing on the ground with customers? So I think I'll get back to what I was making. It's really workload centric in terms of what we're seeing. There are certainly use cases and we're seeing it today where repatriation makes sense, whether it's for cost or performance reasons and we're in the middle of several deals now that I can tell you that are emphatically repatriation oriented in terms of their approach. There's a lot of reason in some cases to keep data in the cloud, in the public cloud with the CSPs or whoever it may be, for a number of reasons, flexibility, cost. Spensive as hell to get out. You know, in some ways it is a challenge to go the other direction. What it's proven over time is there are particular use cases that the cost proves out significantly that going- To business cases is what you're saying. It very much is. So it's not a one-size-fits-all conversation. I personally don't see many organizations going completely out of cloud. I think they're always going to have a cloud presence. It's a matter of what particular workload lends itself best in co-location. So we talk a lot about right customer, right location, right workload. It's really understanding what they're trying to accomplish and achieve and then make the best recommendation. I would add something because it's not only about I choose where I go for certain industries and for some government data, you have new regulations coming. So if you know in Europe the EUCS template, this will enforce that certain class of data will be in cloud managed by European people and owned by European people. But this is expanding also. It's the same case in India. So if you look at the planet, you have movements coming regarding where the new workloads of sensitive data needs to stay. And it may be on-prem within the data center of a customer or it may be with a service provider would be using our stack into a national data center the data center in the country where they want to operate. So it's not only workload, it's not only cost, it's also regulation. This is the point I want to make because we often forget it and there is a big movement on the planet coming out of the geopolitical uncertainties and so on. Why don't you like the term sovereignty? Can you explain that? Well, because it has been used in so many different ways. What I like to use as a word is trust and trust and compliance to prerequisites that have been done regarding certain class of data because sovereignty, everybody use this word for everything. But we see that, you know, and there are very big new opportunities across the world of new ecosystems in vertical industries, crossing data together between themselves to create value out of the data. This is what is called the data economy. And for that you need also to play with trust and it's not only in the public cloud because when you have a comprehensive value chain that nobody wants anybody else to look after, you need to do it in certain cloud. This cloud may be your cloud as an end user or a group of end user, or it may be you decide as a group of companies to host it with a service provider. And this is where we come into the game because we can offer the right solution in all the countries that show realty discovery. Then you must have some great customer story examples of successes that you want to share with us. It really show the power of the partnership, the capabilities, and also the sustainability angle. I would love to hear. Absolutely, you have a fantastic one on FSI, yeah? Yeah, we do. We have a global FSI partner that we were able to secure a right story with. I think the security perspective really on that private cloud was one that really heightened their interest. Another one that comes to mind is we had another global customer who had a multi-site requirement, fit our footprint really, really well. We aligned with the sales teams. I mean, one of the things that we've really valued is HPE brings a tremendous expertise, frankly, that we don't bring to bear, that we can add to our own customer set. So we compliment each other really well. Our sales teams have worked, I think, tremendously, and we're seeing great inroads in the future because as we talked about, this is very much a hybrid world, but it's a global world. And so clients, particularly the global 2000s, are seeing a robust requirement to say, I need requirements where my folks are. And oftentimes they're in Frankfurt, or they're in Amsterdam, or they're in Austin, or they're in Africa. And so we're able to deliver that with HPE really effectively. Excellent, guys, thank you so much for joining Dave and me on the program. Really sharing what's transpired in the last year for Digital Realty, HPE, and where you're going in the future. We appreciate your insights and your time. Thank you so much. Great to see you here. It's been our pleasure. For our guests, and Dave Vellante, I'm Lisa Martin. Up next, HPE experts are going to join us to talk about HPE Asimorel Software and HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise, how they're both hybrid by design and working in tandem to extract actionable insights from data. We'll see you in just a few minutes.

Live from Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering ServiceNow Knowledge 2018. Brought to you by ServiceNow. Welcome back to theCUBE's live coverage of ServiceNow Knowledge 18. We are here in Las Vegas at the Venetian. I'm Rebecca Knight, your host, along with my co-host, Dave Vellante. We are joined by Thomas Squayo. He is the Senior Vice President for Digital Transformation and Enterprise Architecture at Westcorp. Thanks so much for coming on the show. Good morning, thank you for having me. So, Digital Transformation, you're the SVP. It's a buzzword of the technology industry and also at this conference. Tell us a little bit about how you describe it, what it means, and then also about West's journey. Sure, so in my own role within West, Digital Transformation gives me an opportunity to have higher amounts of contact with the business side of the organization, whether it be customer success, product management, looking at our strategic accounts team and basically working across all aspects of the business. While I am running Enterprise Architecture, I also run product engineering for the organization. And those combined roles give me the opportunity to take things from strategy to tactic inside the organization, but the Digital Transformation component gives me the context for what the organization needs to move towards. But essentially you guys are a digital company, right? So, I mean you're digital evolving maybe, but so what does Digital Transformation mean to a company like yours that's born digital, if you will? Right, so we came out of a traditional telco background. So everything about our business was driven by software and up until about 2015, it was very human capital intensive. So what we've done is we've kind of retooled ourselves to be a more forward looking technology organization that's driven by software, delivering solutions on behalf of our customers. And that includes much more of a service and solution portfolio than it does in a human capital portfolio. So as you transitioned from a business to a digital business, what was the role of data, how did the data model evolve? Well I think that one of the things that we look at in our data model is that because of the scope and scale of our business, they have different data model requirements for different aspects of our business. Our safety business operates under DHS critical infrastructure rules, whereas our unified communications is pretty typically dictated by regulatory and compliance environments and healthcare, education, commercial and utility markets. And then other aspects, depending on what kind of notifications are going out might be under HIPAA high trust and those kind of things. Those are really kind of the drivers for us to be able to prioritize how it affects our data model and our InfoSec profile. Yeah, so you have to have sort of semi-siloed data model, right? Correct, correct. So we don't see a lot of customer movement across the organization. Only about 30% of our customers buy from multiple West businesses. And they're typically very compartmentalized around the use and consumption model that we actually have been approached for. So as the digital leader, does that present challenges for you? Or it is what it is, and you just sort of do it? It actually presents more opportunities than anything else. And the reason why is because we could take learning from very forward-looking, leaning cloud-native platforms and be able to apply that into some of our legacy business. Or we could also look at something like the regulatory environment and how certain businesses actually satisfy that and be able to mature some other aspects of our business that might be a little bit more loose and or came in through an acquisition that wasn't governed by kind of an organization of the scale of ours.  And before the cameras were rolling, we were talking a little bit about how there is this mentality, particularly in IT, the sort of break it, fix it mentality and keeping going that way. What's your best advice for people in roles in IT and elsewhere in the organization to get out of that mindset? Well, the most important thing, I think, is that you have to move out of an order-taker role and you really have to kind of move into either a strategic advisor, kind of an internal consultancy model where in which your IT leadership team is not necessarily seeking a seat at the table. That's kind of a cliche in that regard. But what's more of how do you partner with the general managers, segment presidents and so on and so forth as an advisor on the side, working with them on how they consume the technology services across the organization? That's really how we focused our architecture team as opposed to necessarily looking at bringing in an external consultancy to kind of lead and broker that conversation inside the organization. What are you doing with ServiceNow? So we are actually, we've just released in April our first phase with ServiceNow. It was a significant transition over multiple service management platforms. We've rolled out service management and knowledge already. We're underway with operations management next. And we're talking about all the aspects of it. So we're taking very much an out-of-the-box approach. We're not doing any customizations. We're doing a lot more configuration around workflow and so on. We've been able to establish a really strong leadership presence around the organization from a governance perspective, how we're going to float those changes into the organization. And then ultimately how are we going to deliver, we kind of take it as kind of the base fractal is the first phase and first implementation. And then how do you expand upon that to be able to ultimately make sure that it's woven into the fabric in the organization as a tool for not only employee experience but customer experience as well. No custom mods. Check. No custom mods. Smart. How about a single CMDB with a siloed or fragmented fractured data model? That's very much part of our strategy. So okay, so you brought into that. We look at asset management as kind of the bridge between logical enterprise architecture models and how it actually translates into physical infrastructure. The CMDB is that source of truth for that. And we're looking to service now to be able to provide that for our organization. And that includes not only in our on-prem instances, our virtualized environments, our hybrid cloud environments, ultimately looking at them as kind of a cloud management provider as we scale up and take advantage of that. And that includes charge back, show back, being able to show what consumption is, being able to have our capacity teams be able to do forecasts based on cyclical environments where, or storms or things like that that move across and affect where our compute resources are ultimately deployed. But you don't get there overnight.  What's the timeline look like to affect that? We started our transformation journey in late 2015. We reorganized the initial aspects of our IT organization, everything but product development in 2016. And really spent the next 18 months kind of driving towards table setting on a platform level, not only in how we were dealing with service management but how our cloud-native platform was being built out, our CICD tools, data center consolidation, all those activities. And then ultimately when in 2017, we reorganized the last elements of our product engineering and our development organization and now really kind of lit a fuse, if you will, on that transformation journey. So rather than necessarily have it start at one point and look at kind of the distance between strategic kind of alignment, we've actually gone and put definite milestones and breakpoints for us to be able to kind of re-energize that part of the organization. So. Thomas, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. It's been really fun talking to you. Thanks for the opportunity. Appreciate it. I'm Rebecca Knight for Dave Vellante. We will have more from ServiceNow Knowledge 18 in a little bit.


hello friends so we uh we have a bit of a situation and it's time to come clean i can't i can't avoid it i can't lie about it we're gonna talk about it so about a year ago i did a video called these books will self-destruct in a year the idea is i had to read those books within a year or i had to unhaul them now when most people do this video they put books that they don't have a huge interest in reading so they have no qualms on hauling them if they haven't read them in a year i i didn't do that i did i think half books that i wasn't very interested in reading and half books that i was really interested in reading and i did the list as a way to motivate myself to read them are you crackers or what what is going through your brain again to do this so we now have reached a year i know i have not read all the books in this list i can't remember all of them but i know for sure there's at least one or two that i still really want to read and i i'm not gonna unhaul run the clip we know what's happening the rules don't apply i'm not gonna unhaul them i i want to read these books that on my tpr i'm not unhauling them i don't care i'm not unhauling them so we're gonna find out what the books are in today's video and i will have read some of them and the ones that i haven't read i'm giving myself two chances to read i've got a series in december which is coming some of you may know which i think a lot of these books will fall under so they have a chance to be read in that you know they may be read may not be you know the series and then i'm gonna do a video in january or february next year where i have the chance to read some of these if i don't read them by then then they are guessing unhauled i promise you 100 they're getting unhauled if i have not read them by then i don't trust her i don't think she's a good person but i'm not unhauling the ones i want to read i'm sorry i can't do it okay shall we just get into it i think there was eight or ten books in this video i'm not sure how many this one's risky because i know there's a high chance that i am not gonna read this but it's one of the books i want to read most but i just again like i don't fit it into videos it's one of the books i look at daily and i think i need to and it's unwell women by enna clay corn she's only gone and read it i've read it okay i have read unwell women the journey through medicine and myth and a man made world by enna clay corn i didn't love this hang on let me take the headphones off when i don't need them i didn't love this as much as i wanted to i didn't hate it but i didn't love it it's non-fiction and i just felt like it was a little it didn't go into quite as much depth as i wanted to and i just felt like some of its points didn't quite follow through enough right with non-fiction especially one that is like historical you know making a point i just really need like all of your points to meet and match up and like coalesce into this amazing piece of work and i didn't feel like this necessarily did i would still recommend it it would just felt a little bit lacking for me i think i gave it like a 3.5 like i still enjoyed a lot of it 3 3.54 something in that it wasn't bad but i do think there's probably better non-fiction about this subject out there but at the same time i'm glad that i have read it i feel like i did learn some stuff from it but it wasn't incredible but i've read it oh my god how do we think i'm gonna read i think i'm going to have read half okay now one of the books i'm less interested in is the wife between us by grihendrix and sarah pecanon this is one of the oldest books on my tbi it's okay i have not read the wife between us by grihendrix and sarah pecanon i don't even have a scoop where that book is shall i try and find it the wife between us by grihendrix and sarah pecanon is now one of the oldest books on my tbi i would be happy to unhaul this i could unhaul this right now do i just unhaul it actually i don't know there is there is those two videos that it fits perfectly no we're gonna save it and then but if i have not read this by february i don't care about unhauling this it can get gone you know but i think for the videos that i'm gonna be doing it would be interesting to hold on to it and see i bought this in like a charity shop when i'd read like 10 books i was the beginning of my reading Joan like rereading Joan because i stopped reading for a couple years and i was trying to figure out what i like and i bought this in a charity shop on a whim because i think i'd heard like one person speak about it and i assumed i don't like domestic runners it's not for main park i feel terribly ill all of a sudden i am not usually interested in books about husbands and wives i just don't give a fuck honestly i don't care i don't care i hate the tropes that appear again and again and again in domestic thrillers like let's try and think of one i enjoyed someone said the guest list once the guest list is not a domestic thriller yes you have a husband and wife in it but like the book is not about that it's when it's a book about a husband and wife dynamic or in this case husband and wives i'm just not interested and i didn't love the golden couple i think i gave that two stars by gray henrix and sarah peckin in so yeah i'm not bothered about this i could unhaul it do i just unhaul it no no no i've told you what we're doing we're doing those two videos and then what unhauling if i haven't read any so this could easily face the chopping block but yeah this was one that i think this is the kind of book i should put on this list books i don't care about unhauling if they come up unlike some of the other books we're going to encounter which like you have to pry them for my dead cold hands in order for me to unhaul them yes i haven't read them in the year where i've had a over a year to read them because at this point i've owned them for a long time if they're on this list yes i have had over a year to read them but that doesn't mean i can just get rid of them they're there for a reason their moment will come then one of the ones that i am most excited to read and i feel like i've spoken about this quite a lot recently is and the true scripted by dawn kurtigich shit shit shit shit haven't read it this is the one i was thinking of this and like one other book that i are the only ones i know are on this list and the ones i know i haven't read oh my god guys my bookshelves are like they're in trouble at the moment i own too many books i need to move out right we have and the trees crept in by dawn kurtigich i have not read it yet tell you how stupid you are this is like a i think it is a ya i think so ya horror about these siblings who move into their aunt's home in the woods and it's creepy and there's lots of like weird writing on the page and it sounds incredible and i think this is a five-star prediction for me yes i have not read it yet but we're not like you can't ask me to unhaul this you can't you that's why we're not doing it you can't ask me to unhaul it that would be like illegal but i promise i will if i haven't read it by february so i've only like three more months these books will self-destruct in 15 months should have been the title because that's the truth i've had amazing things from everyone who has read this and i you know i'm a little bit of a scaredy girl so like in order for me to enjoy horror it has to be ya or camp basically i don't like adult horror that's like serious like super serious i can deal with a little bit of silliness it has to be a spring call but it helps me detach from the horror so i'm i've got big hopes for this and you can't ask me to unhaul it you might be thinking at the start of the video like oh megan you're really you're letting us down by not holding these books and then you see that i haven't read this yet and you go okay we can't ask her to do that you can't you can't ask me to do that one of the ones that i don't know if i'm going to read this next year but it's one of the ones i'm less interested in okay the cousins by karen m mcmanus okay okay okay the cousins by karen mcmanus haven't read her these books i have no idea where they are okay we're not doing the best are we i've read one haven't read three um the cousins by karen mcmanus haven't read this would be another one i would be happy to unhaul but it could serve a purpose and there's other videos so again we're not doing that i have no idea what this is about i know everyone again i think i've seen that video everyone says to start with the one of us is lying series from karen mcmanus i think i got this in a book box i would never have really picked this up on my own but i also it's the kind of book that i'm like oh do i like i just feel i don't know why i feel hesitation around unhauling it because i could enjoy karen mcmanus stuff in the future and then i regret unhauling this you see the predicament that i it's about a family four children a sonny dropped by the mother with a single sentence you know what you did okay let me know we thought this one have you read this have you had other karen mcmanus and you're like megan just do not bother reading the cousins because that's what some people have told me but again i i do enjoy a good why a mystery and i want to support the cause the more why a mystery is we have the better you know i must have read whatever the next one is i can't i can't have not read another one okay this one this is probably one of the books i'm most embarrassed about not having read i must have read this and it's wild beauty by anime mcmore okay i've read it i've read it i've finally read wild beauty where's that okay we've read another one i've finally read wild beauty by anime mcmore i did enjoy this i think this was like a four star i'm glad to finally begun reading anime mcmore because i feel like their stuff is stuff i'm gonna love but i just hadn't gotten around to reading any of their books this one's about this like family of girls and a boy and there's magic i don't know i feel like you should kind of go into this knowing nothing i kind of went into this going nothing there's grandmothers there's flowers and um yeah i i love anything that's kind of magical realism me and i feel like there's not enough out there so i'm glad to have begun my journey with anime mcmore and the writing was beautiful this had been one of the books that i had been like this is a five star prediction for the longest amount of time so like i had to read it if i hadn't read this we would have had problems i actually might have read my channel because this had been a five star prediction for me for like forever so okay we've read another one that's not bad then one of the ones that i'm less excited in reading it this is one that my excitement has dissipated over the years is educated by tara west over i know i can oh shit okay we're three for three on top of the pyramid going three for three is mad by the way i can't stand as far back as i usually would because i there's just so many books at the floor on the floor i'm trying to avoid i have read educated by tara west over i read this not that long ago like a couple months ago i did enjoy this i i is a thing i feel like this book is a little bit of a lie because you go into it thinking like not what i'm saying she's lying okay what i'm saying is you know you go into thinking this is going to be about how she wasn't educated as a child and then she like becomes educated on her own growing up and really this is a story of familial abuse and her journey through that the education part of this is a really small part of it to me and a part that was like a little bit unexplained like she just like got into oxford and i just i feel like there it doesn't go much into detail she kind of goes i did this and i did this and i did this and like kind of talks through her academic journey but i feel like doesn't really go into depth on her journey through that as someone who hadn't been educated at home like it kind of it like everything just happens and i know that's not how i happen in life but that how that's how it reads you know there's not enough depth around that when really yeah this is a story about the abuse that she suffered as a child and i think that part of it is really powerful but it wasn't what i expected but i've read it yes you are so strong you are so strong your mind is so strong and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise but yeah glad that i've finally got around to this because again this is one of the oldest books on my tbr there's only a few books on my tbr still that have been there since i started my channel which is like four years ago is that four years how are we doing it three or four years i think four years god i'm getting old that's scary i still feel new on booktube i still feel like a newbie in my brain because there's all these people who i love watching who've been doing it much longer than me so i still feel like a little baby but like that's not a little baby really 2020 yeah four years i've been doing it bloody hell so this is one of the only because i remember buying this and it was when i was in my first flat in leeds i remember taking a photo of it i'm going to warsons where warsons give card and buying this book and um yeah that was one of in my first flat in leeds which was before i started my channel so crazy there's only a few left on my tbr that i've had that long and i would like to tick them all off that would be quite satisfying to like have read every book that has been on my tbr since i started my channel right for most excited i'm still so excited to read girl in the walls by a jay gunny say i've been she's only gone and read it she's only gone and read it did i read that in the same video as i read educated i did i did read the same video that was wrapped up rejects wasn't it yes okay where is that the girl in the walls by a jay gunny say okay we've read four oh my god mega and this is impeccable so yeah girl in the walls by a jay gunny say i read in the same video as educated wrapped up rejects what a quink dink how amazing is it a cold incident is it a cold incident i ask you is it a cold incident again this one was one that i've been really excited to read for a long time and it wasn't quite a five it was like a 3.754 i'd call it it's a very unique book it's about this girl who lives in the walls of this house and it's more of like a literary mystery i would say it's more thought this is slow plot this kind of beautiful but like gently beautiful writing it's not over the top with its prose but i really did enjoy the reading experience of reading it it's a very unique book and i wouldn't recommend this to people who are looking for like a thriller thriller or like a who done it mystery like i said it's a literary mystery and it was it was a enjoyable reading experience but it's very unique and i don't think everyone's gonna love it it's really a story about grief and belonging and family and all these things but it's not fast paced it's very very slow back but i've read it okay next we have pine by francine tune i've read it i've read pine i've read pine okay okay okay where the fuck is pine there it is um i have read pine by francine tune i read this again like last month and again i enjoyed this it was it's a very again it's very slow horror this time well horror mystery paranormal book i loved the setting in the scottish highlands i thought it was such a unique setting but it is definitely not a book for everyone i can see why it because i read this for my lowest rated highest rated horror and this is the lowest rated on my tbr i can see why not everyone loves it again i think you should only go into this if you're looking for like a slow book on the back it says it's pacey not in my opinion in also in my opinion it either needed to be shorter or longer it either needs to be a novella or it needed like another 50 pages i don't think quite it's a debut and i think maybe just the pacing wasn't quite correct but i have read it is that five i've read now oh my god okay all right we're doing all right i thought it was eight but there's 10 books okay so i've got two more and this is another book that i've owned since i started my booktube channel and still haven't read and it's been highly recommended to me by my mum my mum read it people i follow like booktubers have since read it like kayla's read it i've owned this since i started my channel three years i've owned this i still haven't read it but i'm so excited to and it's biased the new science of race and inequality by jennifer eberhardt i have not read biased oh my god that's embarrassing it's one of the oldest books on my tv where is that we keep having this problem where i just don't know where any of my books are oh no please okay i found it but at what cost i have not read biased the new science of race and inequality by jennifer eberhardt again this is one of the oldest books on my tv are are you not ashamed of yourself are you not embarrassed this is really embarrassing my mum read and loved this in like 2018 2019 oh gosh and i have wanted to read this ever since basically it is about unconscious bias and how that shapes every part of our systems and it doesn't that sound incredible and since i have owned this for four years lots of other people have read this i know kayla read and loved this um she hasn't read it by she i mean me i think i'm gonna love this i think i'm gonna give it five stars i think this is gonna be a non-fiction that i find particularly because it because it comes from a scientific background i find makes all its points completely which was the issue i had with unwell women you know i think because if you come from a scientific background i remember when i did my science juicy coursework who really had to make and complete your point so i'm hoping that everything is going to be like really well rounded and like really expanded upon and go into depth i've heard wonderful things about it but i haven't read it that's really embarrassing i've owned this for four years over four years really because i've been to my channel for four years but i owned this for like probably at least six months before that so we're coming up with five with it on the tbr yeah okay we've got to read that we've got to read that soon but then that is gonna i'm gonna give you a little clue guys the series i'm doing in december this is prime candidate for that and finally i'm putting a series on here i'm putting the next installment in a series on here because i have to read it i don't know if any of you all know this book it's the jewelld moth the second in the sinclair mysteries by catherine wood fine where the hell is that book oh oh i found it i found it it's so dusty on top i have not read the jewelld moth the second the sinclair mysteries by catherine wood fine this is like 1910s mysteries and their middle grade it's from a video i did where i've been doing my channel less than a year and i read i started three middle grade series in that video i have not made progress in a single one of those middle grade series much to think about yeah i did not plan on losing anything i lost but i'm determined i loved all those first books well not loved i really enjoyed all those first books in these middle grade series and i'm determined to continue on with them i really want to continue on with this one because it's historical mysteries like it's like my favorite thing i really want to continue on like it's got these cute little illustrations in them i mean look i want to continue on with it god this video has got me looking bedriggled i'm going through it a little bit guys i'm i'm going through it this video is putting me through it but yes i haven't read this yet so if i haven't read this by february i have to unhaul wow okay we can do it guys we can do it so out of that list i had red five and not red five and these are the five i had not read now i would be unhappy to unhaul the cousins and the wife between us i would not be unhappy to unhaul these three particularly these two particularly biased and the trees crept in particularly those two i would not be happy to unhaul so we're gonna save them but if i've not read them by the time i've done that second video in february um we have to unhaul them so we'll see how i do like there could be a five star among these who knows there could be multiple i don't think there's gonna be multiple well those two are five star predictions actually these three maybe three star predictions are best but anyways thank you guys for watching this video sorry that i'm you know copying out a bit but i do still want to do this video again maybe at some point next year these books were self-destructing a year which i know sounds crazy but i know better now like i used to always do this with my year-long tbrs was like i'd put books on there to challenge myself but i'm never gonna read like i put classics on there that like it's very unlikely i'm gonna read now i know to be realistic i've been burnt too many times so next time i do this i'm actually gonna be realistic with like books that sure i want to read but like i wouldn't care if i had to unhaul them i can already think of a few where i'd be like okay if i have to unhaul that that's okay because at the end of the day i do need to make space on my tbr and i do need to get rid of some of the books that have been languishing on my tbr like if i haven't read a book for five years you know non-fiction i feel like gets a bit of a pass because i i struggle to get around to non-fiction but if like the wife between us that's a quick thriller if i haven't read this for four years it needs to get gone you know what i mean so thank you guys for watching this video let me know if you're mad at me that i'm not unhauling them straight away although i am unhauling them but just some of them are perfect for videos i got coming up guys so they're just perfect they're perfect i need them to make up the numbers and let me know what you thought of any of the books that had been on this list like i said i'm reading half i'm okay with but i'm not unhauling and the tree's crept in there's things i can do and that is not one of them so uh thank you guys for watching this video and i will see you very soon in another one bye


Michael, hello to all of you. I have a question. Is it possible to apply a Dynamic Windows 365 Group or Dynamic Security Group to a shared mailbox in Exchange Online? The goal should be for the members of the Dynamic Windows 365 Group or Dynamic Security Group in Azure AD, now Entra ID, to transfer the member to the shared mailbox, almost a dynamic shared mailbox. Transfer the member. It's what we're talking about and part of it, it's always interesting to ask people asking questions because I don't think there's anything, there's nothing called Dynamic Windows 365 Group. So I think it's just the dynamic group. But why will that transfer a member either? Yeah, the Microsoft 365 Groups, I know can be dynamic and you set that up in, I believe it's Entra, not in the Microsoft 365 admin if they're dynamic. And whether that would be something that you could put into a shared mailbox or whether you'd use something else for a shared mailbox, not familiar with. I know with Microsoft 365 Groups, the thing I realized was, Teams admin gives you the ability to control certain aspects of groups because they're underlying Teams, but it doesn't allow you to do the administration you need for dynamic groups. That's a group's administrator right or role that you need. So I'd say part of it might be to test, you need to make sure you have the appropriate rights in Entra to make the changes to a dynamic group. And then I'm not familiar with the shared mailbox piece of the question. I almost wanna go back to Michael and say, what's your problem? Like, yeah, I always go back to what's the challenge you're trying to solve? Cause this seems like a whole big workaround for something that probably has a simpler solution to it. If, you know, he's using things that he knows, but if we could start with what the challenge is, then we might be able to find a better solution. And I know with Microsoft 365 groups, the default behavior depends on where you define it. So if it's a regular Microsoft 365 group and you define it in Outlook versus Teams versus SharePoint or Stream, it may have some different behaviors based on where it was set up in the first place, especially with the groups mailbox, which is a thing that you get with those groups as well. And there's a way to change those settings in Outlook that Ricardo Wilkins from Microsoft blogged about on Qt for Teams, his champions using Teams effectively weekly show. So I learned kind of a place to change whether when something goes on the group calendar, whether it shows up on my personal calendar or not, is a setting that everybody in the group can control. So Sherry totally agree, you know, we need to ask Michael some clarifying questions before. We'll just throw out a, here's what you should do. That's just the case with a lot of our questions. It's like, tell me more. Well, I do, there's one article found a good one over in Stack Overflow. So how to use Azure AD, Entry ID, dynamic groups to manage shared mailboxes in Azure. Perfect. Put the link in the chat. Look at that. That should help. The link will be below, right at those. Yeah, well, again, it's always difficult with these. I'm sure it will post this with this link and someone will go in and say, well, that's not exactly the thing. And that didn't work for me. It's like, yeah, we don't have the ability to ask a follow-up question to understand what Michael's trying to do. We're taking our best guests based on this limited information. So understanding that there are some, potentially some other ways of approaching this depending on the nuances of what he's trying to accomplish. And so, yeah, I appreciate constructive feedback of somebody who may interpret this differently and therefore have a different solution. And we will of course always answer the question. When somebody asks a question to something that's out on YouTube or on the blog, I will push it back out to this panel and say, hey, does anybody want to go and respond to this question, this follow-up? Because more information is always good having clarified what Michael was asking. But we're doing our best, folks. Yes, indeed.


And in River State, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC says it will continue to take on war against oil, theft and economic sabotage by elements who are banned on undermining the economic growth of the country. The commandant of the NSCDC in the state, Michael Orga, disclosed this at an illegal bonkering dump site discovered in Port Harcourt. The report. Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC reversed this command as uncovered the premises used for illegal oil dump in the Bokoro community, Ubu-Aqpa local government area of River State. Taking newsmen around the compound, the commandant of NSCDC River State Command, Michael Orga, revealed that he reconstituted anti-vandal unit of the command post the premises through a tip-off. Commandant Orga noted that in spite of the continuous sensitization and relentless war against economic sabotage in the nation, all thieves have blatantly refused to change their ways. He said that the property has been confiscated while legal action would follow immediately. This one here is used to pump the products. Whenever they want to make sales, also to transfer them from the right area to this tank, this has already been sealed. So we are going to apply to court for the future of the illegal products and the premises too. So I'm telling the public that anybody who allows these premises to be used for illegal oil and illegal bunkers or to do anything illegal on oil products here in River State Command, we are going to charge them to court. We are going to fulfill their property to the government. The command also paraded 19 suspects over the involvement in oil theft and illegal dealings in petroleum products, attributing the feat to the dogged fight by the Marine and land patrol team of the command. Our tactical team both online and waterways have done plenty of arrests. We, so far we arrested 19 suspects in different locations here in River State and we are assuring you that we shall not rest until we stop concrete here in River State. I am a transporter. They arrest me at the Hoda West Okobe. Then the woman called me to come and carry products, cover with a sack. Then the moment I advised my vehicle there, I noticed people running. So I wonder why these people were running. Before I know, the officer, they surrounded me. They ordered me to put out the product inside the vehicle, which I did. The next day, they brought me to the civil defense office here. The state NSCDC boss also cleared the air on securing off a batch to start stalling product from leaked wooden boats. You can see that top there, the leaking. So now we procure this batch so that whenever we do arrest, we quantify the quantity. Then we evacuate them into this batch. If we fail to evacuate them, because of the leakage, it's going to lead to river dune loss. It's also going to affect the rivers, their aquatic animals, like fishes who die. So we are trying to avoid that. That's why we are evacuating them. State commandant of NSCDC appealed to the public to provide the command with credible and actionable intelligence that would anybody command clamp down on all, all steps in the state.


The Chicago Bears team team, you know, I'm a Lions fan, right? So I'm supposed to have a little bit of animosity towards the Chicago Bears were division rivals But if I can be honest in recent years, it's basically just been out teams getting absolutely owned by the Packers and the Vikings Sometimes in there too. I mean you're not wrong. I mean, what can you expect? Yeah, Mitch Trubisky at QB. We had Jerry Goff I'm cool with the Bears. I like the Bears a lot and I have to say they might have the most left-on team team in all of Madden 22. You look in your top right and it's a 95 overall team team, which is great 95 is awesome. Really anything that's 94 or higher is a very good team team But I just love all the players on this team. Number one, you could go Nick Foles at quarterback You even could go The Fridge at quarterback. Don't ask me why that's an option, but Justin Fields just makes sense I've got a skateboardist on him. He's got 95 speed Spectacular throwing stats really the only one to be concerned about is three accuracy mid 89 is pretty bad And I'm surprised this throw in the run isn't higher But it is what it is and as you guys know a skateboardist cost a lot of AP, but he is gonna zoom I'm really excited to use him and continuing to try to just really cool players in this team Devin Hester Obviously Devin Hester is a stud. He's gonna be a great wide receiver, but he is the best kick return part-returner in the game That's perfect. You've got one of the greatest tight ends of all time Mike Ditka 98 overall definitely gonna be a piece 95 speed 93 strength incredible catching stats incredible route runs get 96 excel even as 89 Juke move I don't think that's historically accurate, but I don't ask those questions also got cold come out of course and Jimmy Graham Alan Robinson who is now a ram But 97 over Alan Robinson you got Brandon Marshall Me they got fullback William Perry who is so good like the best blocking fullback in the game really you also have a ton of depth that Hapback Patterson Walter Payton Raheem Moster I just love this team not to mention the defense is sick to look at Roquan Smith 99 overall 97 speed 98 excel 6 foot user feels a little taller it might be nice But still is just a beast with 99 hip power one of the best cards in this game is this Jimmy Graham So Jimmy Graham got a backyard baller strong safety. Don't ask me why but he's a six foot seven strong safety with 97 speed That's why I'm saying bro. It's it's such a slept-on team team They have so many studs Colomac 97 overall Mike Singletary with the best midline backers and Wilbur Marshall also played for the Bears Yeah, Eddie Jackson. This is kind of a weak point on the team Eddie Jackson at 94 is the best free safety But I'm Joe roll Patterson as well on defense similar to the Pats team 97 Hakeem Hicks gold 99 William Perry the tackle Jay Ratliff and Jonathan Bullard. So D line is also really good Look at the stats on this William Perry was a 90 speed detackle with 99 excel 99 strength 99 power moves 98 block shed Damn near a golden ticket also a huge.

I love you your wiener is immense in length. It rivals the size of mine However, it's lacking in the girth category. I definitely have you on the girth 95 overall 95 offense and 96 defense. I think that's historically accurate bears have always had an awesome defense It feels like oh and would you look at this my boy rye is three and three so he's making a run But one loss is gonna boot him out I got to get my boy closer to playoffs and I can't lose for him Chicago bears theme team Let's get a voice look at that top three ninety nine rope one ninety William Perry at 98 Patterson He's got Devonta Adams Jalen waddle Randall Cunningham. I doubt it's a theme team I guess it could be Eagles, right? No, no, no, no, it can't be William Perry's already getting some use the 96 overall fullback get in there, buddy. He tossed Brian Dawkins. That's that's exciting All right, let's have a little fun. We're playing on old Jen So things are gonna look a little different, but still can sauce up So I've already got William Perry in at fullback. I can also what what wait what? He's lined up behind himself. Is that not scared anybody else?  I just lost a touchdown because I hear truck duty I'm gonna blame it on it being old Jen, but it's it. That's a questionable. I'm just throwing a dot, baby Oh my god, and they rob cottage. I know I'm supposed to use just infuse. Oh, I'm throwing it anyway I don't care. I don't care about Brian Dawkins.  You're getting The QB contained five man doesn't really let me scramble unfortunately. I could throw William Perry here though if I want there is I'm throwing it to the man Don't know I could have thrown William Perry again. Brad Dawkins lurks me Honestly, that's what I get for using William Perry quarterback. It was awesome, but we're gonna bring out Justin Fields next possession I was just about to say that looks so open And I am not familiar with old Jen because I usually could have stopped that I'm not worried yet though In fact in most theme team videos I've been down by like a touchdown right at the start still find a way to win the game Raiders vertical, you know the reason I like this place because I can scramble so hard plus I got Ditka and Patterson. Yeah, I like this. Does Hester burn his man. No, Jesus. No way How did he get me dude?  Can I throw that? No ball fourth and 13 from my 19. This has been really difficult Look at them. No, that's a horrible pass.  Justin Fields. I got so used to gunslinger That pass was dog water Cut this back. Come on, baby read that one out read that one out easy peasy I think he he passes this so let's get in there with Jimmy. Yes, sir Absolute screamer.  I know we can make it happen. It ain't gonna be easy. We can make it happen I think this is gonna tear him up a little bit. I gotta be able to hit Ditka though That's kind of the problem here. Look who's open Alan Robinson on his feet. We got us We got a score. We got a score fasted. I don't have time to really be thinking about these plays There's Alan Robinson. What dude Alan Robinson's carrying. He's carrying down to the 15 if we score before the two-minute warning That'll be huge. All right. We're looking for Patterson here, especially if this is man I think that'll be just such a money ball. It's not there. Oh my god. That pressure was insane.  He's gonna leave Robinson open. This is cover two man. What is this? He's back there. Let's go. I knew it. That was the cover three. All right. We scored quickly getting ourselves back in this game I'm going for two because I'm a psycho. I want to win this game. Is Patterson a backfield master. He does not hmm Two-point conversion Patterson looks open Was the goofiest attempt to add a catch.  Just like a wide open Jalen waddle What since when can you do that?  Oh, yes. Oh No guys, he's thrown at the double coverage across the field. We have to pick that Absolute massive game changer on that one. Hey, we're in his face. We're in his face mine mine No, we dropped two in the back of the end zone. Oh, we're so close fourth and ten Jimmy, let's see it, buddy Mine what this is so wack. Yep Hello and what universe?  How's the RPO? Oh, I needed one of those ints so bad, dude Imagine it was like 13 to 14 going at the half that's six to 21 He is No, I didn't Time on the clock. Let's go. Wow now my two point is very questionable because if I don't get this It's literally a two possession game. I have X factor Justin Fields. Oh, but Zuka.  He's right there. Yes, sir. Damn it. These dudes are so good. I was so open I am just poverty on the two-point conversion right now, but it is 12 to 21 I don't think I'm gonna lose this game by two points. I really don't come on, baby I gotta do this. I gotta do this. I can't lose on my boys account. I just can't Dude ha Desmond true fine Okay, he most hits you like that fourth and three. Let's see what he does fourth and three. What's this three-yard play?  That is actually so wack. How can they just keep doing that all Jen is stupid I remember this last time when I played on old Jen and that is a pretty good example Jimmy Graham With a great stop right there in the middle got all them a field go at some point. Oh Okay guys, what is with these angles?  I might have to just take my own on this one, man I might just have to take my own I'm just gonna check this down because I don't like anything that I have there. That play just didn't look good I just lost the game I really thought he was gonna take my half back and that that would just be wide open At least I have an excuse. I'm just gonna keep saying old Jen even though. I'm just playing bad.  Dude, he threw the ball while he was faced the other way. Oh, I'm so glad I went to next year.  I wonder if I can stop or maybe it's the RPO. It is That's comical that should be a pick six. Oh, that's comical.  I Haven't really got to do this all game.  Jesus. Is that open or will he catch me? Brando Marshall.  I think we can punch this in let's just go Walter P right up the middle Hey, hey Carries that ball so sketchy. It really scared me at least for scoring. I'm glad we're not getting shut out What if I was so bad?  That is insane Easy sack on cunning here. Let's go. That's a good start right there. I'm honest though Beautiful throws right at my face and I'm out of bounds. Oh, that just hurts No way you're that much faster than him.  What is his team on bro? They're so roided out Yeah, that's sick guys, that's sick.  Sent Colomac and he can't throw anywhere fourth and 16 now we get to stop we get the ball back We score get the two-point on side get the ball back score two point going to overtime score Oh, no, he switched a bunch. He hadn't even brought out his sweaty his sweaty playbook yet I'm fucked.  I really I really did.  What do they have you guys doing over here? This is some nonsense. I I haven't got 40 hung on me in so long Right. I'm so sorry. I just sold bro. I sold for you. You're not making the playoffs I'll tell you that. Hey, that's it for the Bears team team. It's a funny-ass team team I do wish I could have played with it on next gen, but um, it's all good I got to take my out like a champion William Perry had some passing yards three for four an interception 59.4 QB rating, but he also had some receiving yards Didn't because one for 79 and William Perry's one for seven. You gotta love that. All right boys. Hey, I love you Thank you for watching as always. I'll see the next team team. I'm sorry Bears fans I choked just like the Bears in real life really, you know, so it's at least historically accurate. Hey, I love you boys Thanks for watching. Peace


One of the most important skills you can have as a math student is the ability to write a function. Now if the universe were a kind and gentle place, functions would fall out of the sky. And indeed, sometimes you're given a function. But most times you have to construct the function. And here it's especially important to keep in mind, don't try to learn math by looking for examples of solved problems. This is especially true when trying to construct a function. Every problem is different. And what that means is that the skill of constructing a function can't be taught. The good news is it can be learned. And there are some strategies that will help you. One way to construct a function is to try and generalize the process of finding its values. So let's take a simple example. Express the area of a rectangle as a function of a type H and with W. So first, we need to come up with a clever name for a function that gives us the area. We'll use F because F is the first letter in the word area. What's that? Not by your spelling? Ah, okay. We'll use A because A is the first letter in the word area. It actually doesn't matter if we call it F or A, but it is helpful when our function names have some vague connection to what they're supposed to be. More importantly, since we want area to be a function of height and width, we have to express this as A of H, W, where our notation says that our area is going to be somehow related to H and W. And again, success in life is largely based on bookkeeping and similarly with mathematics. So what we'll want to do is we want to make sure to identify what our variables mean. So we have our function A of H, W. H is the height of the rectangle and W is the width of the rectangle. So there's many things we could do at this point. The worst way to learn mathematics is to look for examples of solved problems. And in this case, the problem of finding the area of a rectangle as a function has already been solved. You can look up that area formula. But don't do it. One way we can try and figure out what that relationship is is that we can set up a table and find the areas for different values of H and W. And here's a useful idea. It helps if you don't do the arithmetic. So for example, if I have a height of 5 and a width of 3, then my area is going to be 5 times 3. And again, we're not going to do the arithmetic. With height 2 and width 10, the area is. With height pi and width squared of 11, the area is. And fourth times the charb, what if we use our variables H and W? Well, looking at what we did in all of the other cases, we conclude that our area is going to be H times W. And so that gives us our area function. Let's see how this works in a different case. Here we want to write down a function giving the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of its height. So we'll come up with a clever name for our function. We'll call the perimeter P and indicate that it's a function of the height H. And so our function is going to be P of H, where H is the height. And again, let's see if we can set up a table to find our perimeter. So I'll pick a value for the height and find a value for the perimeter. So if the height is 5, the perimeter is... Well, that looks like it's going to be a little bit hard to calculate. If I want to find the perimeter of a rectangle, it's helpful if I also know the width. So I'll add in an extra column here. Now notice that our perimeter is supposed to be a function of the height only. It is not supposed to be a function of the width. Still, it's helpful to have this column even if it doesn't show up in our final step. It's important to remember paper is cheap. Write stuff down. So the thing to remember is that we are told that the width is 3 more than twice the height. So if we know what the height is, we should be able to calculate what the width is. So let's pick a value for the height. How about 5? We like 5. If the height is 5, then the width will be twice the height plus 3. And again, it helps not to do the arithmetic, so we'll leave this as 2 times 5 plus 3. How about the perimeter? The perimeter of a rectangle will be twice the height plus twice the width. And so that will be... And again, we're not going to do the arithmetic. Well, let's pick another value for the height. How about 3? If our height is 3, then the width will be 2 times 3 plus 3. And the perimeter will be... And again, we won't do the arithmetic. And if we pick another value, how about 10, then the width will be... And the perimeter will be... And finally, let's try to generalize if our height is h, then the width will be... And the perimeter will be... And so our perimeter function looks like it's going to be 2h plus 2 times 2h plus 3. And we could do a little bit of algebra to clean this up, but we don't have to.
