realized this but it's been something like five to six months since I've done a monthly favorites video. So I'm rounding them up and I'm gonna show you what I really loved in September. Let's get to it. Hello friends before we get into this September monthly favorites I am going to be talking about what I have on, my jewelry, all that kind of good stuff. So if you wanted to skip over this introduction and just look at the reviews then go to the timestamp right here as usual. You can skip over all of this beginning stuff that we do each video. But first we talk about what I have on for a shirt and I am in love with this Mulberry colored shirt. It is just my jam. I love purples yes but I also love this in-between pinkish purple color. It's one of my favorites and this is a beautiful square neckline with a little puff sleeve and it is a long sleeve with the bands right there so I just tend to push them up and it is a tunic length which I love goes over everything that I want to hide which I really like and a Jersey knit fabric which makes it super comfortable super easy to wash and care for which is always a bonus as well. Then I always like to show you my earrings. I have these earrings in several different colors and I love I think they call this one the red purple. I love this little earring. It's so easy to wear very light very versatile whether you have long hair or whether you have short hair it just seems to go with just everything and really show up and then my necklace is just a little heart chain necklace that I really have been enjoying and loving wearing and all of that will be listed in the link below along with any other makeup that I wear fingernail polish jewelry anything like that you'll be able to find all of that listed and linked below and then when I do talk about links I always like to tell you that I have a numbering system a number goes up here on the screen and that number corresponds with what I'm holding up for a product. You don't have to remember anything about this product you just remember that you liked number three go down into the description box everything will be numbered one to however many we get through today look for number three next to it will be the product name along with the link and any other information you might need to know about color or anything like that it's very easy to shop that way and I hope that it helps you okay that is the introduction let's get into my September monthly favorites probably going back a little further than that but let's get into it and you'll get to see what I'm really in love with right now I have some of the coolest stuff today to talk about I mean things that I have a really really fallen in love with a whole bunch first of all I want to tell you guys about I did a specific video where I was talking about how essences are game changers for women that are over 40 that video is one that if you haven't seen it you need to see it the technology behind using a Korean or a Japanese essence is phenomenal I've learned this but I also have been putting it into practice for years and didn't know it and I get so many sweet compliments from all of you on my skin and I truly believe that it is doing this practice that I didn't really know I was doing for years but I was doing something right go figure you know you do something right and you don't even know it that doesn't normally happen to me anyway after that video I did come across this toner that is called numb I'm gonna just spell it because Lord knows I'll just completely obliterate it N-U-M-B-U-Z-N toner it's a super glowing essence it has a three up here and it is I believe this is Japanese and not Korean now this is supposed to boast something like 50 different fermentation processes in there which is fantastic a fermentation process it not only softens our skin helps fight wrinkles it's antioxidants it really helps with fading dark spots it's just phenomenal so to have 50 of them in here I'm loving this and I've been using it every day since I got it and this is so good and it's not super expensive that's what I liked about it too you get it on Amazon and yeah this is the first step in having beautiful vibrant more youthful looking skin and I'm loving essences they are my new best friend from Milani I have been absolutely in love with the anti-gravity mascara this mascara has hourglass wand and it doesn't have it has a plastic bristle brush or a silicone brush and normally I like to do both I like to have a natural bristle brush or the regular brush and then I like to go in with a silicone to get a bit of definition and length this does it both and I'll tell you what else it does that I absolutely love this comes off so easy at night it just really easy you do have to use a cleanser to take it off but you don't have to use a super heavy-duty waterproof makeup remover to get it off it's just really good and it lengthens and it stays on all day and I never get raccoon raccoon eyes I get very voluminous lashes and you can build on it and I yeah this has been wonderful absolutely wonderful loving it I've talked about this on my channel before but I'm about let's see I'm probably about six to nine months into using this product and as far as I'm concerned I am never going to be without it I stumbled across this on an ad I think it was on Instagram because I was obviously searching for something for thinning hair this is from DS laboratories now they have a bunch of different formulas but I chose this one it's called spectral DNC-n redensifying hair therapy so it says restore stimulate and revitalize and I am just absolutely in shock at how thick my hair has gotten I was to the point to where I well you guys saw it I had to cut all of my hair off I love long hair I've worn it my whole life and I just had to cut everything off because my hair had gotten so thin and it was breaking all the time and it just was looking straggly and it just was not a good look so I've been using this for approximately six to nine months now I always have little hair sprouting all the time and my hair just seems so much more thick and dense and I am in love with this now yes this is a little bit more pricey but I'll tell you the way that I think about something like this we all go out to eat and most of us we go out to eat and we spend what 20 $30 on a meal that's $30 is approximately how much this is and it's for a month this is worth it to me to spend that kind of money to help my hair look thicker look healthy really contribute to the confidence I have in how my hair is finally looking and yeah I'm never gonna be without this and I actually don't use this every day I use it every other day right before the night that I'm going to shampoo so I shampoo every other day so that night I'll go ahead and I'll put this all over my scalp I'll really give my scalp a really good massage and stimulate it with one of those silicone brushes for your scalp which I can link one of those below too for you I think if you were to use it like I said it probably would work even more but I love it I really really love it it's just been so good okay I'm gonna break out of the norm here I did have somebody ask me if they would if I would show a actual perfume video I hesitate to do that because I've done it in the past and they don't get watched so I'm gonna show you two of my very favorite perfume perfumes right now and they are so so good this one is from Kali which is the Hood of Beauty's sister that's her her fragrance company line that she corrupt corrupt that she collaborates with her sister on this smells like the yummiest most juicy apples and it lasts forever this is one of the fragrances that I can put on and I can have it on all day it just it smells like harvest apple time and it's just it's so good this smells like fresh apples and fresh berries and some vanilla in there the minute that I was able to smell it I fell in love with it and I had to have the big one of it actually this isn't the biggest one but I had to have one because I do love it that much and then the other one that I really love is Burberry Her they have a ton of these Burberry does but this one it's so feminine and it still has a little bit of the fruity notes in it I will put up on the screen the notes which I probably got a hair I hate it when I got a hair but this is a lot more floral than the Kali apple one is but oh man I love this and it lasts such a long time and this is one of those that I went gaga for the minute that I smelled it as well it mixed really good with my chemistry you know sometimes you get a perfume that you think is gonna be just perfect and then later on in the day you're like that stinks well these two are ones that don't they are just that good so I really do love them also I picked up two products from house labs now when I first came to you guys and I tried this on and the Patrick taught on at the same time one on each side I said that I like the Patrick taught a little better I actually like them equally now this is such a beautiful foundation I love this foundation now it's what I have on today and actually I have it on along with another one on the other side so I'll tell you about that in a second but this is a very natural looking foundation it covers very well if I use a brush now if I use a sponge it doesn't seem to cover as well but I'll use the brush and then I'll just go back over it with the sponge just to get any excess up but it covers so beautifully it's what I have on this side of my face today and I got my right color and I think that's part of the reason that I didn't like it very much it just really brings a lot of life to my face and it wears like a dream I mean I can look at my face at the end of the day and go that foundation looks pretty darn good still which is not likely for me because I lay down a lot after I'm done doing this kind of stuff I'm usually in my bed so for it to look good at the end of the day means something this is a really pretty foundation and I have fallen in love with it but I've also fallen in love with her setting powder now I have mine in neutral peach I chose to get that instead of the translucent I don't like setting powders and I really don't like loose setting powders but when I was in Sephora and I just stuck my finger in like that and then I went like this I was like this is different and it is it's completely different than anything I have felt before it has such an airy light quality to it that even me rubbing my fingers together right now I don't feel it and it doesn't feel dry and it doesn't feel slick it's beautiful I really am impressed with this I mean this powder it just shocked me this blurs and it is so beautiful that I just cannot get over how gorgeous it is and I can't get over how beautiful and light and airy it is and every time I stick my finger in there it doesn't feel like powder how is that even possible I don't know but it's really good and I really have loved it every minute since I got and so let me tell you what I have on the other side of my face it's the NYX Born to Glow Foundation now one of you were saying that this is such a good foundation and you I don't remember what you were saying it's a dupe for but it's a dupe for a lot of high-end foundations that are the glowy foundations that everybody's going nuts for this is phenomenal it's so pretty it gives you a very dewy look to your skin but it still wears well and it has a medium coverage it's very light it doesn't feel heavy on your skin I love it I think it's beautiful and I think it's one that you can wear very easily on the go and especially if you're somebody that's dry skin whoa you're gonna love this now if you're very oily I don't think you're gonna like it but even if you are combination skin I think that you would still love this it's very pretty now I will say that they really lean a little bit warm in their colors just so you know that that is one of the things that I really had a little bit of a problem with but I did my little you know mixing trick and I it worked out fine but this is really beautiful and I'm so glad that one of you mentioned it to me and then as much as it pains me to say this because I feel like Charlotte Tilbury is one of the most outlandish companies as far as how expensive they are they're just so expensive why do they have to be that expensive except where you're paying for all of the hype that surrounds it that's what I feel like and it so it really hurts my heart to have to say how much I love the new beautiful skin concealer I really do like this and I am wearing this one oh I'm wearing this one on this side let me switch hands with it I'm wearing this one on this side so that you know it really is very pretty it covers like a dream and you can build on it it doesn't crease on me it doesn't look cakey throughout the day it's really pretty but you can see that I do have another one in my hand here this is from milk makeup so the difference in the two of these this is the new one from milk and the difference in the two of these is this one from Charlotte Tilbury is quite a bit more hydrating so you might have a problem with creasing throughout the day whereas this one from milk makeup almost self sets and that's why I like it too but both of them are beautiful I mean I don't have a problem working with either one of them when the dry heat comes on this winter I know that I'm going to be absolutely in love with this one but I love this one too they both really stood up to the hype that I felt like and feel like they both wore so so well I also wanted to tell you that yes I did put the new Patrick Tau palette blush palette in one of my latest videos but I am still absolutely over the moon loving this thing I love that he has his new highlighter in here I love that these colors are very neutral colors this might be a little bit more blue pink than somebody that really wants to wear a neutral but a pink flush on a cheek is gorgeous at babies have pink flesh all the time and they're just so cute so this is a beautiful palette you have the creams up here it still gets my thumbs up because it works out to be about 19 and change for each of these duos in here with buying it this way through the palette so I felt like that was a pretty good deal especially as expensive as drugstore is getting this new nail polish that I have been wearing a lot on my channel I have just gone gaga for this is called I L okay wait a minute it's called I L NP which stands for I love nail polish and these nail polishes are so pretty now you can't see this right here you're not gonna be able to see too much of the reflect that it has in it but it kaleidoscopes through just all different colors I mean there's blue there's gold there's the beautiful pale rose in here there's just so many colors in here purple all kinds of beautiful beautiful colors in here and I bought this is the set and it comes with six which I thought was a pretty good deal you know polish isn't cheap anymore either but I love this formula I can wear it for such a long time and I think it's because it does have the reflect or the metallic look in there it wears a super long time so I'm not gonna tell you that this is a two-week nail polish it's not but because I do my own nails and I don't wear gels and or go and have them done or anything I can get about five to seven days of polish without chipping or peeling or anything like that love this nail polish is such a pretty pretty color anyway and when I got it I was so disappointed I was like well that's kind of boring and then after I put the two or three coats on that you have to do to get it to build up it's beautiful and I yeah I've been wearing them non-stop I want to tell you guys about this con air infinity pro this is the not doctor this is one of the hairdryers that is also a round brush and this one is oval it's got a very big brush on it as you can see for my length hair my hair never gets tangled in it it does a beautiful blowout all the other hairbrush dryers that I have tried in the past they've all really gotten too hot my hair is very straight and fine and if I get too much heat on it it's gonna start to show damage this you can turn the heat down but even the hi-hi heat it's not terribly hot I love using this and instead of a dryer it's about what I reach for 90% of the time because it gives a little bit of a bend and as you can see what I'm showing right here is that it does detach and it comes with this one but it also comes with this like hand wand thing right here that you can put on and you can you know go up under your hair and you can dry your hair straight if you want to now I did find on Amazon a couple of attachments this is just a standard brush attachment that goes on it so if you want to do just the regular you know straight brushing and get it dry that way and have it be very sleek you can use this one it's great but I also found this one for those of you that might have shorter hair this is the medium one this medium one works really good for me on the bottom right down here because that's pretty short so I love this thing I am really impressed at the quality of it and I'm also impressed that it doesn't burn my hair that is the biggest thing that I had a problem with these and I am so excited to have this it does have the ion technology which pulls the water out of the air and it draws the moisture to your hair so that it looks very shiny and very sleek and I really really love this thing and then the last two things first of all Penn from pinsmith skincare penny she told me about she told everybody not me act like she's my own personal esthetician she talked about this from thank you farmer the Sun project shimmer essence this is an SPF of 30 great ingredients in here but it also has this absolutely beautiful quality of just having it's not really a shimmer it's a glow and it's so pretty on your skin and I have been loving this as a primer that's what she was talking about she uses it as she doesn't use it like her everyday Sun protection she just uses it as a primer and hopefully you're gonna be able to see what I'm talking about there it has this just luminosity to it so when you put it underneath a foundation it brightens that foundation and as it mixes with it it's just it's so gorgeous I absolutely love it it's so pretty so this one was one that I was really glad that she mentioned in her video because yeah it's one of those ones you're like this girl knows what she's talking about and I am going to love everything she loves this one I did get sent to me I'm almost out of it I am ready to repurchase it on my own this is from rovectin and I've talked about this before on my channel this is the skin essential barrier repair face and body cream advanced formula hypoallergenic the reason that I love this is you know that creepy yucky skin you get as you get older and your skin gets a little looking a little crawly like alligator skin or elephant skin this is the nicest most yummy creamy beautiful long-lasting lotion that I have tried in a very long time now I don't use this on my face but you could I mean this is a huge thing can you imagine how long it would take you to get through this if you're using it on your face I have used it on my face and it works wonderful because it sinks in like no other but it is uber hydrating and I love that my hands are looking so good lately with this and I'll just push it up and I'll use it wherever I want to because this is not terribly expensive for a big huge one of these I really love this line anyway they also have an essence they also have a body oil which I love for putting this on my feet and then I'll put the oil on and then put socks on and boy my feet are so soft the next day they are great so this is a huge thumbs up for me and I am so thankful that that this company they sent me their whole line but I love this lotion because it really truly does stick around it's not one that's going to you know you put it on you feel like I'm so hydrated and then a half an hour later you're let my hands feel like there's sandpaper again it's not like that it's really beautiful I love it okay I went through that really fast but I didn't want it to take a long long time what have you found that I need to know about you guys I need your input give me your input I need to know everything that you've been trying I love our comment section because there are just oodles and oodles of wonderful suggestions down there that we get from each other and I'm telling you guys when you guys start talking about something I'm clicking straight over and I'm buying it and giving it a try almost 90% of the time I do that thank you guys for participating that way I really do appreciate the interaction that we have you're the best part of my channel and you're the best part of my day too so I love you very much and as we go out of here I'm gonna put up another video right here and I'll see which one was the last one I did of the favorites videos and it's gonna go up right here for you so that you can look at it please take care of yourselves come back around really soon love you much my friends please take care bye bye


This commission can bring together a wide range of people who have diverse backgrounds, different experiences, to really think about how do we continue to move this issue of global health forward. We're doing a lot as the U.S. in global health. We're known as leaders in global health, and that we have a lot of successes to build on, whether it's the PEPFAR program with the President's Malaria Initiative. But we also know that there are some real challenges. Our ability to sustain what we do, our ability to make sure that what we do is better coordinated, making sure that we're focused more on results as opposed to just what we put into our programs. But I think it's taking that tangible information and then figuring out how can that be a catalyst for our work. What we really want is to look at solutions, to look at not only the problem, but to be able to talk practically about what works. We have people sitting around the table who are very action-oriented people who want this report to not just sit on a shelf, but to be practical, to be focused enough, to be short enough that it's not just something that's an interesting exercise. We have an administration who has already made a commitment to global health, an incredible group of people, and a topic that cuts across a lot of different interests. So I think a report like this can really feed into a very active, ongoing process that will have an impact and that will really advance what we do in the area of global health.


The Oni of Ife, Obadiye Oguosi, the second, is concerned about laying the foundation for retrieving all Yereba artifacts and antiquities that were taken away by the Europeans. Oba Oguosi, who was on site exhibition and the opening of the ancient Oloco heritage in Ileife, Ocean State, mentioned that the location where the prominent Oroloco bronze head was discovered and excavated in 1910 and taken to the British Museum remains till date. On the call for the repatriation of artifacts and antiquities of Yereba origin, the Oni admonished that such call must be genuine and be backed by the ability to secure the historical items. We are working on things we have within our confines locally first for them to know the traceability of our technology, of our science started in the old world. We are way above the science that they are teaching now. It's very evident. But for all our artifacts and antiquities to come back, we need to create a very good base. It's another thing to celebrate returning it back. It's another thing to plug it appropriately for the common use of all of us. Among all the materials that we as human beings we have created in our lifetime, you know, stone tools, iron tools, wood, everything. Glass is the youngest, about 4,000 years old, but it's the most sophisticated that you don't really see the technology of glass in so many places around the world. But what we have seen here at this site where we are all standing is that the people of Ancient Ife were also making their own glass, you know, sourcing the raw material from within this vicinity. We are not telling the whole world that in Africa, in Ile Ife, these beads were made. The raw materials were made from it, were sold from Ife, made from Ife. So we made it, our ancestors, they made it. And we can prove to the whole world that our ancestors, they are chemists.


Hi, everyone. My name is Savannah Peterson, and I am very excited to be coming to you today from the Cube in Palo Alto. We're going to be talking about CubeCon, giving a little preview of the hype and what you might be able to expect in Detroit with the one and only co-founder and CEO of the Cube and SiliconANGLE, John Ferrier. John, hello. How are you today? Hey, thanks for hosting and doing the preview with me. My goodness. A pleasure. We got acquainted this time last year. How do you think the ecosystem has changed? Are you excited? Well, first of all, I missed the CubeCon, Valencia, because I had COVID, was so excited to be there. I had this big trip plan and then couldn't make it. But so much has gone on. I mean, we've been at every CubeCon. The Cube was there at the beginning, when OpenStack was still going on. Kubernetes was just starting, came out of Google.  And then watch it year by year progress through and how it's changed the industry and mainly how open source has been really the wave behind it. Combining with the Linux Foundation and then CNCF and then the open source movement and to Kubernetes was been amazing. And under it all, containers has been the real driver in all of this. So Docker containers, Docker was a well-funded company. They had to pivot and were restructured. Now they're pure open source. So containers have gone supernova. On top of that's Kubernetes. And with that's a complete ecosystem of opportunity to create the next operating system in software development. So to me, CubeCon is at the center of software, software 2.0, 3.0. What do you want to call it? Super cloud. It's really the action. It's not where the old school is, it's where the new school is. Excellent. So what has you most excited this year? What's the biggest change from this time last year and now? Well, two things I'm looking at this year carefully, both from an editorial lens and also from a sponsorship lens is where is the funding going on the sponsorships because they have a very diverse ecosystem of builders but also vendors. So I'm going to see how that dynamic is going on. But also on the software side, there's a lot of white space going on in the stack or in the map, if you will. You have the runtimes, you've got observability, you got a lot of competition, maybe projects might be growing, some rising, some falling, maybe merged together. Going to see how that, but there's a lot of white spaces developing. So I'm curious to see what's new on that area. And then service meshes is a big deal this year. So I'm looking for what's going on. So there's been kind of a, I won't say Cold War, but kind of like, where is this going to go? And because it's a super important part of the orchestration and managing containers. And so be very interested to see how service mesh does, Istio and for other versions out there have been around for a while. So that and also the other controversy is the number of stars on GitHub a project may have. So sometimes that carries a lot of weight, but we're going to look at which ones are rising, which ones are falling, which ones are getting the most votes by the developers vote with their code. Yeah, absolutely. Well, we did definitely miss you down in Los Angeles, but it will be great to be in Detroit. What has you most excited? Do you think that we're going to see the number of people in person that we have in the past? I know you've seen it since the beginning. So I think this year is going to be explosive from that psychology angle because I think it was really weird because LA was on, they were bold to make that move. We were all there. Absolutely. It was first conference back. It was a lot of like badges, don't touch me, only handshakes, fist pumps. But it was at the beginning of the COVID second wave, right? So it was still not yet released that where everyone was not worried about it. So I think it's in the past year, in the past eight months, I mean, I've been in places with no masks. People have no masks. Vegas, other places. So I think it's going to be a year where it's going to be a lot more people in person because the growth and the opportunities are so big. It's going to drive a lot of people in person, just like Amazon reinvent does. Yeah, absolutely. And as the most important and prominent event in the Kubernetes space, I think everyone's very excited to get back together. When we think about this space, do you think that anyone's the clear winner yet? Or do you think it's still a bit of an open territory in terms of the companies and partnerships? I think Red Hat has done a great job. And I think we're going to see how well they can turn this into gold for them because they've positioned themselves very well. Open Shift years ago was kind of waffling. I won't say it in a bad way, but once they got view on containers and Kubernetes, Red Hat has done an exceptional job in how they position their company. Being bought by IBM is going to be very interesting to see how that influences change. So if Red Hat can stay Red Hat, I think IBM will win. I think Cosmos wins. That's one company I like. The startups were seeing companies like Platform 9, Rafi Systems, young companies coming out in the Kubernetes as a service space. Because I think whoever can make Kubernetes easier because I think that's the hard part right now. Even though the show is called KubeCon, there's a lot more than Kubernetes. I think the container layer with Docker's doing has been exceptional. That's the real action. The question is, how does that impact the Kubernetes layer? So Kubernetes has not done a deal yet. I think it hasn't really crossed the chasm yet. It's certainly popular, but not every company is adopting it. So we're starting to see that. We need to see more adoption of Kubernetes. So seeing that happens is going to decide who the winners are. Totally agree with that. If you look at the data, a lot of companies are and people are excited about Kubernetes, but they haven't taken the plunge to shifting over their stack or fully embracing it because of that complexity. So I'm very curious to see what we learn this week about who those players might be moving forward. How does it feel to be in Detroit? When was the last time you were here? I was there in 2007. It was the last time I was in that town. So we'll see what it's like. Wow, yeah. But things have changed a little bit over the last year. Lions are good this year. They've got great hockey going there. All right. You've heard that. Sports fans, let John know what you're thinking, your sports predictions for this season. I love that. Who do you hope to get to meet while we're at the show? I want to meet more end-user customers. We're going to have Envoy again on theCUBE. I think Red Hat was going to be a big sponsor this year. They've been great. We're looking for the end-user project. We're also looking for some editorial super cloud-like commentary because the CNCF is kind of the developer tech community that's powering, in my opinion, this next wave of software development. Cloud-native DevOps is now cloud-native developers. DevOps is kind of going away. That's killed IT, in my opinion. Data and security ops is the new kind of ops, the new IT. So it's going to just see how DevOps turns into more of a software engineering meets super cloud. So I think you're going to start to see the infrastructure become more programmable. It's infrastructure as code. So I think if anything, I'm more excited to hear more stories about how infrastructure as code is now the new standard. So when that truly happens, it's a super cloud model to be kicking into high gear. Love that. You touched on it a little bit right there, but I want to dig in a bit since you've been around since the beginning. What is it that you appreciate or enjoy so much about the Kubernetes community and the people around this? I think they're authentic people and I think they're built, they're also progressive. They're very diverse, they're open and inclusive. They try stuff and they can be critical but they're not jerks about it. So when people try something, they're open-minded about failure. So it's a classic startup mentality. I think that is embodied throughout the Linux foundation but CNC in particular has to bridge the entrepreneurial and corporate vibe. So they've done an exceptional job doing that. And that's what I like about it. There's money-making involved but there's also a lot of development and innovation that comes out of it. So the next big name and startup could come out of this community. And that's what I hope to see coming out of here is that next brand that no one's heard of that just comes out of nowhere and just takes a big position in the marketplace. So that's going to be interesting to see. Hopefully we have on our stage there. That's the goal. We're going to interview them all. A year from now, when we're sitting here again, what do you hope to be able to say about this space or this event that we might not be able to say today? I think it's going to be more of clarity around the new modern software development techniques, software, NextGen using AI, more faster silicon chips, you see Amazon with what they're doing, the custom silicon, more processing. I think hardware matters. We've been talking a lot about that. I think we're going to shift from what's been innovative and what's changed. I think if you look at what's been going on in the industry, outside of crypto, the infrastructure hasn't really changed much except for AWS, what they've done. So I'm expecting to see more innovations at the physics level, way down in the chips. And then that lower end of the stack is going to be dominated by either one of the three clouds, probably AWS. And then the middle layer is going to be this, where the abstraction is around making infrastructure as code really happen. I think that's going to be clarity coming out of this year. Next year we should have some visibility into the vertical applications and of the AI and machine learning. Absolutely. Digging in on that actually even more because I like what you're saying a lot. What verticals do you think that Kubernetes is going to impact the most, looking even further out than say a year? I mean, I think that hot ones, Healthcare, FinTech are obvious to get the most money they're spending. I think they're the ones who are already kind of creating these super cloud models where they're actually changed over there. They're spending from CapEx to OpEx and they're driving top line revenue as part of that. So you're seeing companies that want customers of the IT vendors are now becoming the providers. So that's a big super cloud trend we see. The other verticals are going to be served by a lot of managed service providers, oil and gas, all the classic vertical healthcare. I mentioned that one. Those are the classic verticals. Retail is going to be massively huge. As you get more into the internet of things, that's truly internet-based. You're going to start to see a lot more edge use cases. So telecom, I think it's going to be completely disrupted by new brands. So I think we should just see how that plays out. But all verticals are going to be disrupted. Just a casual statement to say. Yeah, yeah, no doubt in my mind. That's great. I'm personally really excited about the edge applications that are possible here and can't wait to see, can't wait to see what happens next. I'm curious as to your thoughts, how, given your history here and we don't have to say number of years that you've been participating in, in KubeCon. But given your history, what's the evolution looked like from that community perspective? When you were all just starting out, having that first drink, did you anticipate that we would be here with thousands of people in Detroit?  I ran into him randomly in China and it was like, what are you doing here?  So they were already investing in. So I knew that the CNCF was a great steward for this community because they were already doing the work.  They did, again, they set the architecture perfectly. So I knew that that was a moment that was going to be pretty powerful. At the early days when we were talking about Kubernetes before it even started, we were always talking about if this could be the TCP IP of cloud, then we could have kind of a de facto interoperability and Lou Tucker was working for Cisco at the time and we were called an inter-clouding, like internet working, what that did during the revolution of the- The inter-cloud. Yeah, the revolution of the client server and PC revolution was about connectivity and so TCP IP was the disruptive enable that created massive amounts of wealth, created a lot of companies, created a whole generation of companies. So I think this next inflection point is kind of happening right now. I think Kubernetes is one step of this abstraction layer but you're starting to see companies like Snowflake who's built on AWS and then moved to multiple clouds, Goldman Sachs, Capital One, you're going to see insurance companies. So we believe that the rise of the super cloud is here. That's going to be cloud 3.0, that's software 3.0, it's software three, whatever you want to call it. It's not yesterday's cloud lift and shift and run a SaaS application. It's a true enterprise digital transformation. So that's kind of the trend that we see riding in now. And so if you're not on that side of the street, you're going to get washed away from that wave. So it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out. So it's fun to watch who's on the wrong side of it. It is very fun. I hope y'all are listening to this really powerful advice from John. He's dropping some serious knowledge bombs on us today. Well, I'm holding them back for KubeCon because we got all the great guests coming on and that's where all the content comes from. I mean, the best part of the community is that they're sharing. Yeah, absolutely. So just for old time's sake, and it's because it's how I met your fabulous team last year, define Kubernetes for the audience. Kubernetes is like, what someone said, it was a magic Christmas. I heard that was a well-better combination with that one, I heard that one. You mean the technical definition or like the business definition or? Maybe both. You can give us an interpretive dance if you'd like.  It's a way to keep things running and runtime assembly of the data. So if you're running containers, you can containerize applications. Kubernetes gives you that capability to run applications at scale, which feeds into the development cycle of the pipelining of apps. So if you're writing applications and you want to scale up, it's a fast way to stand up massive amounts of scale using containers and Kubernetes. So a variety of other things that are in the system too. That was pretty good. There's a lot more under the hood, but that's the oversimplified version. I think that's where we were going for. I think it's actually harder to oversimplify it sometimes in this case. It connects all, it's the connective tissue between all the container applications. Yes. Last question for you, John. We are here at theCUBE. We are very excited to be headed to Detroit very soon. What can people expect from theCUBE at KubeCon this year? So we'll be broadcasting Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We'll be there early. I'll be there Monday and Tuesday. We'll do our normal kind of hanging around, getting some scoop on the ground floor. You'll see us there Monday and Tuesday, probably in the lounge too. Come up and say hi to us. Again, we're looking for more stories this year. We believe this is the year that you're going to hear a lot more storytelling coming out of this community as people get more proof points. So come up to us, share your email, your handle. Give us your story. We'll publish it. We think this is going to be the year that cloud native developers start showing the signs of the rise of the super cloud that's going to come out of this community. So if you got something to say, we're open to share stories. So we're here. Well, speaking of John, how can people say hi to you and the team? On Twitter at Furrier, at SiliconANGLE at theCUBE, theCUBE.net, SiliconANGLE.com, LinkedIn, Dave Vellante's out there. We're open on all channels. Signal, Instagram, WhatsApp. Perfect. Well, pick your channel. We really hope to hear from you. John, thank you so much for joining us for this preview session. And thank you for tuning in. My name is Savannah Peterson here in Palo Alto at theCUBE Studios, looking forward to Detroit. We can't wait to hear your thoughts. Do let us know in the comments and let us know if you're headed to Michigan. Cheers.

Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee also known as Osiris in today's episode. We are continuing on in series 11 as it kicked off earlier this week. And like we said at the beginning of the week to kick us off into series 11, we are putting together a bunch of sample teams, but rather than put them all together at the beginning of the week, we're doing them split up over this first week and doing a team a day. It gives us a chance to kind of give you the sample team and also see the team being piloted as well as allowing me to kind of give you a bit of a background into it to give you a better understanding of how to use it. So here today we are with the Shadow Rider Calyrex. One of my favorite restrict is that we've had in Sword and Shield and went for a bit more of an offensive on today. We've seen trends where we've seen substitute played on it. We've seen choice specs, choice scarf played on it as well. But we're going with a pretty standard one with a life or variant. I believe it gives you nice coverage with the mud shot and the expanded force. Obviously, take advantage of the psychic train from Indeedy and then Astro Braj, which is a signature attack. Then when you pair it up next to Indeedy, you got the follow me support, which is really useful and also the help and hand support when stacked with the life or just is incredible. So you can get some real momentum swings with something like Shadow Rider Calyrex. Got speed control and the team with Whimsicott. Obviously, that does conflict a little bit with the Indeedy, but you've just got to be smart about how you're leading with the team and trying to overlap those two Pokemon. Got the tailwind support there, the switcheroo, which is really annoying for opposing teams to deal with, especially if they click the Dynamax and you switcheroo and go for an Astro Braj that turn. It can be pretty frustrating to deal with if you lose your Dynamax to turn one and it gets rid of weakness policies and things like that. We know the drill with the switcheroo eject button. We went with Doesn't Glimmer gives a spread, gets around redirection as well.  We've got Incineroar gives you a nice switch in from Calyrex with that type synergy there that it's got and just a lot of disruption that Incineroar can offer through Intimidate, Snarl and Parton shot. And then we've got a bit more firepower on the team. We've got the Rapid Strike, Water Fighting type Urshifu. They just kind of gives the team a bit more balance and firewater grass call with that that Whimsicott and Incineroar. And then rounding the team off nicely with Defiant Thunderous, which again gives you a bit more firepower. And you would say on the base of it, you know, the team does look pretty weak to Trick Room, but you've just got to approach us, matches carefully. And hopefully we do come up against some hard Trick Room teams in today's episode and we can kind of go through how we would lead up against them. But without further ado, friends, there's a rental team. We'll have a couple of games in the team now, as we always do. And then we'll wrap up with the rental at the end of the episode. So I hope you enjoy today's episode. And without further ado, let's get into game one. OK, first up today, we have an Urshifu Colossal Dragon pulled Incineroar Zashin and Amungus team. I can see this team popping up quite a bit on the ladder as we go forward. It is your pretty standard kind of G-Max Colossal Zashin build. There isn't the Rillaboom in here, but you've got the inclusion of Amungus kind of taking that spot up offers different kind of things. You haven't got the grassy terrain, of course, but you do have the redirection and that's support and a little bit of an extra buffer against Trick Room, I guess, that the Rillaboom doesn't kind of give you so. Indeed, Colorex is a lead. It's kind of going to kind of not too bad with the redirection there. And then the ability to kind of just throw a big maxquake out onto the Colossal Tim warn gets rid of that. And then the momentum kind of swings from that point on for us really. We need Incineroar in this match and probably Whimsicott as well, because I'm putting a lot I'm kind of pegging a lot on Colorex being able to kind of carry us through this one. But I do feel with the redirection support, we should be should be all right, I think so we'll see see how we get on in this first one today. Like I've said before, when we come up against Colossal teams, they're always difficult to kind of to kind of lead against because you can you can get punished pretty hard pretty quickly if you lead wrong against these teams. But we are seeing Urshavu and Dragapult come out from my opponent. Now, this is the Rapid Strike Urshavu. So we're in a good spot where we can just Astra Braj here. We don't even need to max, to be honest. We can just Astra Braj and redirect and then wait, we're in a good position. The Urshavu is likely going to have the sash there and we may even see it switch out. It'd be interesting to see what the Dragapult does just to check it is the water one. But yeah, we can just Astra Braj and I think just go for the redirection here. There's no reason why not. Well, I'd speed the Dragapult. It may be sashed, but we are seeing a retreat. So I'm going to keep it for later on. This game in general does take the field. So they're going to try and get some damage onto this indeedy. But we are bald max defense, so we should be able to take a certain strike if that's what they go for. Don't see that. Just see that protect come out from the Urshavu to save itself. A little bit of damage this turn. But the one thing that we've got going for us this next turn is he's probably going to see the Urshavu switch out. I would imagine maybe the Urshavu switch out, maybe not as well. That incident now in a really awkward spot where a Max Quake is going to pick up the knockout against it where we can just go Max Quake. We could redirect if you want or we could just help in hand and take the surgeon strikes from the Urshavu, you know. Look, I think we redirect because the thing is, in scenario, if it if it if it doesn't Max, then it's gone for snarl, then we will take it down with a Max Quake. So we don't need that help in hand boost. If it Max is, we'll probably miss it. We need the help in hand boost. But regardless, it's going to go into the indeedy anyway. I feel like Urshavu will switch out, but we're not seeing that. You're going to see the surgeon strikes come out. But we have pulled the trigger on our Max. I don't really see there's much reason not to at this point. We could have sat and just went for the help in hand mudshot. Of course, that is always an option, but getting rid of the Incineroar, which is going to be one of the bigger threats to this team is always going to be quite nice anyway. I think before they can get the colossal on the field, especially next to the Urshavu, they really need to be able to deal with this indeedy pretty well. So there's our first grim near boost. And yeah, the surgeon strikes are probably better off in the long run doing the redirect play, to be honest, just to save Karak's taking any unnecessary damage because you can see how well like indeedy takes that here. But what's coming back in? Is it the Dragapult? Or is it going to be the colossal this time? I don't know, but it will be the colossal. I mean, both are pretty threatened at this stage is the Dragapult. You could imagine the Dragapult probably is really sashed. It's just whether or not we want to go after the Urshavu here. The Urshavu is sashed as well. That's the problem, you know? The one thing we could be could be quite cheeky in go for something like Max Guard and expanding, expanding force just to break sashes on things. But it does I think that's not a bad play because like what's the Dragapult going to do? Like Phantom Force or Dragon Darts? I think it probably Dragon Darts. Ooh, ooh, ooh, what are we seeing? What are we seeing, Max? Is it going to be the Dragapult? Probably the Ursh, is it the Urshavu? No, it's the Dragapult, OK. We're going to go Max Airstream. That would be pretty bad if it goes Max Airstream into Didi. That's pretty bad. But you've got to be worried about us go Max Phantasm into Dragapult at the same time as well because we naturally have speed, but we could be putting ourselves on the back foot here by doing this. He's going Airstream into the Didi. Yeah, yeah, we've just locked ourselves out of this game really by doing that, like unnecessarily thinking that they're going to just Max the Colossal. It's just got incredibly harder, but did it really because we've got Whimsicott to come in. So we've got that. We've got that term. We've got the Tailwind so we can just throw that up so we're not in the worst of spots. And I think there is the argument where we could, you know, here we will probably want to attack into the issue because the Dragapult likely to protect, but we know that the Dragapult's not got a sash now. So yeah, it is going to Max Guard. They're going to try and get a surge of strikes off into Colorex here. It's just always a risk. Like if we don't attack the Dragapult here and it does attack, then we lose Colorex, you know? So it's not ideal. This damage is definitely not ideal, but we do have Astral Barrage back next time. So, you know, at the same time, we're not really pushed for options because we've got Dazzling Game. We've got Astral Barrage. It's going to clear the field and then we've got Asashin in the back to deal with, which is kind of all right, you know? So, like the worst case scenario here is Aqua Jet from the Urshifu into our Whimsicott. Activate our eject button and then Astral Barrage missing the knockout onto the Dragapult, but we've got plus one, so I would imagine we'll still probably get it regardless. Yeah, so you can see, do take the Dragapult down. As the Dragapult survived, no, no, no, it's gone. It's gone. Take the Urshifu down to its sash. No, yeah. But the Dazzling Gleam, I mean, Moonblast would have worked here anyway, but we do get like Grimnair Boost and then the Dazzling going to be able to wrap this one up for us. And then like I say, it's probably as Ashen in the back. So not going down the colossal route on this one, but we're in a decent enough spot.  So you're always going to be able to have that.  So, I mean, we just Dazzle, Dazzle and Astro Barrage. We're kind of all right at this point, really. And there we go, battle canceled. And we pick up a victory to kick us off with today, which is always nice with a new team. And what we'll do is friends, we'll jump straight into game two and see if we can continue this streak on. Okay, next up today, we have a groud on Venus Soul, Reggie, Alecki, Charizard, Grimnair and Umbrian team. So very similar to the one that we ran earlier in the week. And going to be very difficult for Calyrex to function here because of the two Pokemon in particular at the bottom of the team, the Grimnair and the Umbrian. We need to really remove those to kind of free up Calyrex to be able to function well in this matchup. Umbrian is so frustrating to deal with because of things like yawn. Probably going to have to leave wimmy thunderous, to be honest, and like double in, maybe double in on the Umbrian if we do see it. The tailwind will give us a bit of advantage against the Alecki if we do see it. I think Incineroar in the back to mitigate the groud on and then we'll round off with Calyrex. Let's feel like this matchup is very difficult for this team, especially with the inclusion of the Umbrian just kind of cuts down the ability for something like Calyrex to really perform very well. And then when you've got the Grimnstall on top of that becomes very difficult very, very quickly. I don't think I'm going to max here. I think I'm just going to dazzling gleam and I'm going to super par. Just to get damage on that Umbrian because it's likely we might, yeah. And there's always a possibility with Grimnstall that you could see something like a jack button with trick which you never really want again to get caught out from, you know, with thunderous in particular. We do see the reflect come out, get some decent damage with the dazzling gleam. The super par is going to do some nice damage but the foul play in return is going to hurt. I think they go for yawn here though of everything else. So we do see Citrus Berry activate on the Umbrians. It's going to get a little bit of health back. We'll just go straight for the foul play. Into the Whimsicott. Interesting. Okay, that is interesting. We just see that eject button activate. So we can get Incineroar onto the field. We can mitigate what that Grimnstall does the next turn. We obviously can't really do too much to the Umbrian but we could also attack it into the Umbrian as well. And just flablet into it. And then switch into Whimsicott. I think that's not a bad play. Because I think we have to target down the Umbrian pretty hard in these games. Like we cannot just allow it to stick around. We got rid of the Citrus Berry, it's just good. It's probably got moonlight as well. So we have to watch out for when the sun comes onto the field. And I don't feel like switching Whimsicott in here is really too bad a play because the drawbacks of doing this are really negligible while we're resetting the drop from Thunderous from that super path. We're also kind of switching in, a good switch here. You know, Thunder Waving into, okay. And there's the Yul, which is fine. Because I think the next turn we just switch straight back into Thunderous again. Because if they try Thunder Wave, I find that reflect we're doing like nothing, nothing. Umbrian is an absolute tank. And there's very little chance that they go for the foul play into the Whimsicott. But saying that, their choices here have been pretty obscure up to now. So we kind of can't expect anything really, you know. So we may say foul play into the Whimsicott, which is now the Thunderous. We'll see. Umbrian now retreating now. And Charizard gonna come onto the field, which is, which is all right. It's not the worst, not the best either. It's the light screen comes out from the Grim Snow. The one thing about that speed control that Grim Snow's got access to though is, it's not gonna be able to really affect Thunderous. It hasn't got a scary face. And if it goes for a spray break, it's boosting. Boosting, all right. Now we may see the sun come in, like Groudon come in on that Grim Snow slot, which makes me want to go for a party shot there. Do we just go max lightning? Or do we go max airstream? Or do we not max at all? I think we do max. I think max, they're gonna blast burn, I think. I think Groudon comes in and I think they blast burn. Wow, okay. They're catching us out completely. They're bringing Groudon in, so they're mitigating. Yeah, okay. That's a nice play for my opponent. That is a nice play. Bent us in completely. Okay. Well, at least we get the parting shot out so we can get something like Kalorex onto the field because I think Kalorex, Thunderous, is a combination, even though there's the threat of the Umbrian coming onto the field. Gives us a bit more firepower to kind of clear things off the field, you know? So let's see. Wasting one max turn here.  I guess the big drawback is if they spur break into the Incineroar, which kind of puts me off bringing Kalorex onto the field, where I want to bring Wimmy on rather than the Kalorex, because Kalorex is so important to us, but also every member at this point is important to us, so we can't really be too picky and the spur break not gonna be into the Thunderous, yeah. So it's better that we preserve Kalorex for later on in this game. We get this special attack run, but that's kind of by the by. I think we switch Wimmy straight out to Incineroar, get another Intimidate onto the field. Could max darkness into Groudon, so I'm gonna do very much the Airstream as well. That's probably gonna help us a bunch. Max Airstream into Grimstall, I think. And we also get then get the speed boost onto Incineroar, which would then allow us to get, you know, a quicker parting shot potentially out onto that Groudon, as well at the same time as, you know, putting it down to minus two to help. And two Airstreams should get the Grimstall. I'm not seeing the Groudon max here. So the Grimstall in range to go down this next turn, which is what we want really, you know. And the sun being up as well. We're ticking away these turns of the screens my opponent's got, there is the sword stance. So we kind of inclined to go max Airstream and then parting shot onto the Groudon to kind of reset those drops. Even though it could just go for a sword stance once again the next turn, which is not ideal. So we'll see what they decided to do. Cause sword stance here, you know, you're in a pretty good position where you can click that sword stance. But again, you know, you're not in any sort of worry about getting knocked out. The only thing that you would say you may want to avoid is like fake out disruption. But Grimstall switching out. So whatever comes in. All right, this is useful damage. This is all useful damage because that Umbrain, like I say, if the Umbrain goes down, I think what we'll do is we'll switch or parting shot out on the Groudon, get rid of those boosts, get Whimsicott onto the field. They're probably gonna go max Rockfall, I would imagine, with Groudon into Thunderous. They're still gonna hurt. There's the Airstream. Is it gonna be enough? I don't think so. Ooh, not quite, not quite. But we can get Wimmy out and supporting shot onto the Groudon, which is super useful. Is it gonna go max Quake though, into Incineroar or maybe to get that special defense boost? No one that Colorex is in the back. Potentially, I don't know. Max Quake, yeah. So Wimmy might take this. They do. But I guess at the same time, it gives us a free switch back into Incineroar to get that Intimidate onto the Groudon again, which is always nice. Because I think we wanna hold off bringing Colorex into the very end if we can. The problem is now, obviously, that we haven't got Tailwind. We aren't gonna be able to get the jump on Groudon. It is gonna be able to get another Max Quake off now, which is not ideal. But a Wild Charge will be able to get the Umbrian. Gotta say, Wild Charge should be enough to get the Umbrian. Try and get a potting shot into the Groudon because they may decide, um, Wild Charge gonna be enough.  I'm kinda just super powering just to make sure that we get it because I'd hate to miss the knockout onto the Umbrian. Like, Wild Charge might just whiff it, you know, with the reflect up. And depending where the Groudon goes, like, if they go after the Thunderous here, that's probably better for us because then we get the potting shot. No, they go on Max Quake. Okay, that kinda locks Thunderous in place now to, um, it's not ideal. It's not ideal. And that special defense boost that the Groudon's got kinda under its belt as well. It's difficult to deal with. So the next job is getting rid of, getting rid of the Grim Snow, which we can do, I think, ah, it's a minus one. Huh, it is a minus one. Wild Charge gonna be enough. I don't know, behind the reflect. I don't feel like it probably is gonna be enough. We could fly. But the thing that we have to avoid now is the Thunder Wave from the Grim Snow. They're gonna Max Quake again with Groudon into Kal-Rex, the on minus one at this point. Yeah, the Thunder Wave, okay. But it does leave Thunderous a lot. Oh, we just missed, we just missed. We just missed. Yeah, and there's a Max Quake for the third time, okay. Oh, we take that. I think we'll take a Precious Blades. It's just we want, the Thunder Wave is what we needed to avoid, which is, yeah, the worst. So the Thunderous Vade reflect where it's off. So they got the option now. Do they reflect or do they, I think we Astro Barrage and we foul play. I think we've got a foul play. I think they've got a Precious Blades. They may go Rock Slide, though, to get the Thunderous and try that Power Flinch. Probably our best attack, though, against it. Wow, okay.  That might be enough for us to actually win the Sword Stance. We needed that to, we needed, we needed that to hit. We needed that to hit. We really did. Because now, yeah, we needed that to hit. Because now foul play is not gonna be enough. But I mean, they're kind of, they are torn. Like they have to go like Rock Slide or Precious Blades. Yeah, but they get the reflect up now, which is, yeah, just even more annoying. They are plus one. So Precious could miss. Rock Slide could miss, but neither do. Can we get the Astro Barrage? The thing is, like the Charizard's to come in. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. Right, well, we are ending this on a loss, but it was a good game nonetheless, but sometimes the RNG just doesn't go your way, and that is that. So as I said, it's a pretty hard matchup, but I think we managed it not too bad. Just if we, if we got a higher damage roll on that Grim Snow, that would have definitely helped us. We maybe would have been better going for the Wild Charge against the Umbrian, then we wouldn't have the Attack Drop, and then we could have probably got the Grim Snow, but that's by the by, and then obviously the RNG kind of continues on from there. So we'll round up friends with a rental code for today's episode. Okay friends, here is today's rental team. If you do try it out, I hope you have a lot of fun with it. Like I say, and I have said throughout this episode, the teams with Umbrian on them and the Dark Types do make it very difficult for this team to function. So this is why we may see a drop-off of very low usage of something like Calyrex at the beginning of the format. And it'll be those teams that can deal with the Umbrians and the other dark threats effectively with Calyrex, they are gonna really start to see a big surge. So that's the thing to try and build and implement into your teams to get around those threats because they are gonna be everywhere. Some teams are gonna be everywhere. Umbrian's gonna be everywhere, and it's gonna make it difficult to kind of function with these teams. So that's what you kind of want to look for, that key to unlock the success against those teams because they've not just got the Umbrian there, that's a real threat, they've got all that fire and kind of sun support behind them as well as the ground on which makes things pretty obnoxious to deal with at times.  But I hope if you do try this team out, I do believe Shadow Rider Calyrex is still a good shout in this format. It's still a very powerful Pokemon. But if you do try it out, hope you have a lot of fun with it. Leave your comments down below. Let me know your thoughts on today's episode and team. And we'll be back tomorrow, rounding off our sample teams on Friday with our Neveltal team. So looking forward to that one. I hope you are as well. Make sure you do check it out and we'll wrap it up there, friends. Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great rest of your day. Take care of yourselves and I'll catch you all for the next one. Until then, take care and bye-bye.


Thank you very much, voice of God, whoever that was. I'm delighted to have these few moments to introduce for you a video message from our great friends at the University of San Francisco, Marakeem. But first, I have to say how delighted I am that the great voice got my new title correct. In the six weeks since I've assumed the role of President Emeritus, I've come to appreciate how few people seem to have heard that word before from the Latin emeritus. And I have been introduced at least on two occasions as President Emeritus. And I quickly respond by saying, oh, I take medication for that. But just think of me as the guy who's sort of semi-retired and after 50 years of wearing a tie every day gets to take it off a little more often. But before I say a word about the cherished relationship between fee and Universidad Francisco, Marakeem, I have to say, if you haven't yet stopped by UFM's booth, please do so. I was blown away when I saw the use to which these postcards, seven or eight of them with various great lovers of liberty from UFM's founder, Manuel Allao, to Ayn Rand, to Leonard Reed, to Henry Haslett, several others. The use to which the folks at the Video Game Center at UFM have put these interesting postcards. I just want to say that you need to stop at their booth. The Video Game Center at UFM has created, and this is a part of it, an augmented reality trivia app to test your knowledge of famous lovers of liberty. You have to download the free app, which is UFM Mentors, and stop by the booth to collect all of the mentors' cards. You'll be amazed at what that app will allow you to do. These faces come alive with the use of that app. The winners of each challenge that you'll see when you get the app will receive a bag of prizes tomorrow at 12.50 PM at UFM's booth. Have fun playing that fantastic game. Well, I'm honored to introduce a short video to you that recognizes easily the most long-standing and cherished relationship that Phi has had and continues to have with a partner organization. We have many partners in many parts of the world, dozens of them, on almost every continent. But our relationship with UFM goes way back to the beginning of that institution, which is now approaching its 50th anniversary. Leonard Reed, the founder of Phi, and Manuel or Musso, as he was known to his friends, Ayao, the founder of UFM, had a long friendship. I knew both men personally. Served on the board of Phi in the 1990s with Musso.  And I can tell you, others who knew them both would tell you the same, that they were so much like in so many ways. They were passionate. They were gentle. They were dedicated, determined, fired up for liberty and a class act, both of them in every way from start to finish. Our relationship with UFM has been so important to us in these nearly 50 years, and it has manifested itself in a great many ways. We have had every year at Phi seminars students who come all the way from Guatemala. We have more than two dozen students and others officials from UFM at FICON here this year. Few other places in the world send us many of their students to our programs as does UFM. We've had events at UFM, and that partnership continues to grow. Recently, we announced the launch of Phi and Espanol, directed by Phi colleague Javi Perez. Javi, are you here tonight? I want everybody to know where you are. Raise your hand wherever you are. See, Javi is doing a fantastic job in this new outreach venture for us. In so many ways, our roots are deep in Latin America, but this is the first time we will have had a coordinated program directed at Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, run by a full-time professional on our staff. This will give us the opportunities to work even more closely with UFM and similar organizations throughout the hemisphere in the years to come. Finally, I just wanna say that my friendship with Musso was very special.  I stick mine in my pocket, but he always carried his around his neck. And he had the quality of immediately engendering the attention and respect of people who met him. You knew from the moment you shook his hand that this was a man of consequence and of courage and of conviction. He was every bit that from start to finish. So here, I'm happy to introduce to you a video message from our friends at Universidad Francisco Marraqui in Guatemala to Phi and to all of you.


Hello everybody, welcome back to another Premiere Pro tutorial. This one gonna show you how to do a fast forward effect. I've got this nice lady here walking down the beach. I selected this footage for scientific purposes. And then all of a sudden when she starts to turn around, I fast forward it. Let's just take a look. Fast forward applied through and then boom, she's back to doing her thing. And if you look through here, you scrub through. That is an old school VCR VHS style fast forward effect. How did I do it? Well, let's start from scratch. I'll show you how to do it in about 90 seconds. Here we go. Start your timers. Now, okay, good stuff. Let's drag and drop some footage in. Here we go. Now go to about the three second mark. Let's go to when she starts to turn around. Somewhere around here. Let's go right here. She starts her turning and, well, I don't know. We like the other view. So Command K, if you're on a Mac, Control K, if you're on a PC, we're applying a cut. Go now to about 10 seconds when she's done her turnaround or 11 seconds or so. Command K, Control K to apply a second cut. We have isolated this clip in the middle. Excellent. Go hit R or click on your toolbar and select the rate stretch tool. And then we're gonna take that eight seconds or so and we're gonna compact it down to about one second or even less. So I will show you what I'm talking about. Let's go ahead and now click on it here. And there we go. It's pretty fast. We could even probably make it quicker than that because we really wanna sell the effect, right? Okay, good. So we had a really fast VCR. Okay, good. So there we go. We've got this really fast forward effect. There you go. You can see it there. It's short, but it's fast. Now we wanna put the glitch on it so that it looks like it's actually fast forwarding in a VCR as opposed to just the digital fast forward. So let's go ahead and click on the effects panel here, which is right there for me, type in VR. And when you do that, you're gonna see something called VR digital glitch. Apply that to the middle section. The one that we're working on now. Go to that and you'll see that it's applied this weird glitchy effect to the whole thing. We don't want that. We're gonna go now to the effect controls panel, grab the pen tool, and we're just gonna draw a rough shape here, kind of where we think that the VCR glitch would occur. And that's kind of the old school, late 80s, 90s, early 90s type style of VCR glitch. Okay, so that's where we've applied our mask. Now we're gonna work on the mask a little bit. We're gonna feather it a little bit. So I'm gonna feather it to about 70. I'm gonna reduce the opacity a bit because it's not a super, it's not a subtle effect, but it's not in your face, either it was just a glitch, a small glitch as you fast forward. And I'll expand the mask a little bit too, because we want the outsides to be less, to have a little bit less of a contrast and a little bit more feather than the inside, which should be quite dark and obvious. That's the old school effect, okay? Back when VCRs were awesome. Okay, good. The real effects, things that we wanna change though is we wanna go into the distortion, grab your distortion, jack the color distortion up to 100 unless you were going for a black and white VCR effect from like the late 70s, I don't know. Color distortion to 100. We're gonna go with geometry, distortion X to about 15, and then the other one's to five or so. Yeah, let's go with seven, let's go seven. And seven, yeah, that looks pretty good. And then let's see what we got. Okay, we're almost there, but not quite there. So we're gonna go ahead and we're actually gonna increase the distortion rate a little bit. And normally I would keep this lower, but I really wanna show you the effect. So I'm gonna put it at 77, but if you're doing this for realism, you could probably put it at 50 and it would look just fine. And the last thing we wanna do is we wanna actually animate the distortion evolution. Click on that stopwatch, making sure that your play head is at the beginning of the clip here. Once you do that, you're gonna have the distortion evolution at zero, go to the end, and then make it 365 or 1X0. Basically we want a full rotation or very close to. Just like that. And now let's see what we got. Oh yeah, that was convincing, let's hit, let's try again. Okay, yeah, sorry, it's in RAM, yep. That is how you create a fast forward effect, VHS VCR inside Premiere Pro. Thanks for watching.


Do you need to write a data management plan? In this video, we will explain how to use dmponline.be An online tool to help researchers write their data management plan, or dmp. The first thing you'll need to do is to log in. You can log in with your institutional account. Or select sign in with Orchid. Once you are logged in, the dashboard will show you an overview of your plans, and for each of your plans, you can see that different options are available. To create a new plan, navigate to the top menu and click on the create plan button. The tool will now take you through a few steps to get your data management plan started, and to determine which dmp template it needs to show you. First, give a comprehensive title for the project for which you are writing a dmp. If you are just creating a test or mock dmp, indicate it by checking the box. Visibility of mock projects is private by default. Then, select your institution, so that you can choose a template and see guidance from your organization. Start typing the name of the funding agency for which you are preparing a dmp, and select it from the dropdown list. You will get a customized dmp template. If you are not writing a plan for an external funder, or if your external funder is not listed, simply check no funder associated, or my funder is not listed. In that case, you can select other institutional templates. In this video, we will assume we are writing a dmp for FWO. Once you are ready, click on the create plan button. You can now edit your plan. You can see that for each plan, there are a series of navigation tabs, sometimes referred to as phases of your plan. Use the project details tab to complete the administrative details for your project. Add a short description of your project, the start and end date, your project identifier, and so on. This is also the place to select which guidance you would like to see during the dmp development. The default guidance sources will be already selected. You can also select other sources that may be available. For example, from the data curation center, or from your faculty or department. Just tick the corresponding boxes. Now it's time to start writing our dmp. Some funders require a data management plan, or a short version of it at the proposal stage. If this is the case, you can use the application tab to write it down. To write a full version of the data management plan, go to the dmp tab. This tab may have a different name depending on the selected template. A dmp consists of several sections, each with one or more questions. To answer the questions, use the text boxes available, or any other answer format such as checkboxes, drop-down menus, etc. Note that there is a text formatting bar. For example, you can create bullet lists or a table. Once you are done with a question, remember to save your changes. As you go along, the progress bar at the top of the page will show you how much you've done. Guidance to answer each of the questions is available on the right side of the page. Navigate through the different guidance sources you have previously selected, and click the plus button to expand it. You can use the comments tab to leave a note to yourself or to people you have shared the plan with. Indeed, dmp online allows you to share your plan with others. Using the share tab you can give other users, such as a collaborator or supervisor, access to your plan and clarify each user's role. In this tab you can also adjust the visibility of your plan, which is private by default. But once your plan is finished, you can show a read-only version to all users of your institution, if you choose to do so. To give someone else access to your plan, just type his or her email address, choose a permission level and indicate the contribution role in the project. Hoover over the permission section to understand the differences between the different permission levels. Finally, click on submit to add the collaborator. Collaborators will see the plan displayed in their dashboard, next time they log in to dmp online.be. Once you have completed your plan, you can export it in a number of different formats using the download tab. Select the format of your choice from the drop-down menu, and then select the phase you want to export. You can also choose between different formatting styles. Once you are happy with the settings, simply hit the download button. The tool will download your dmp in the selected format. Certain templates contain a GDPR record tab, and a data protection impact assessment tab, or DPIA. These are not part of the dmp template as such, but can be used when you plan to process personal data during your research. The tabs may contain additional sections and questions added by your institution, to register personal data processing activities, and can be used to comply with requirements imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation. What happens if you have more than one institutional affiliation, or your email address changes? If your different accounts are linked to your Orchid, and you sign into the tool using your Orchid ID, you can easily switch between accounts and select the one you wish to use. Go to the Edit Profiles section, and click on Link to Orchid. This will redirect you to the Orchid website. Once there, you can sign in to make the link. So, go to dmponline.be. And get started with your dmp.


after the pulwama attack, earlier in february this year, the government imposed a ban that restricted civilian movement on highways to two days a week. this ban was lifted after one month following sharp criticism. after the annual amarnath yatra that began on 2nd july 2019, the security restrictions have been intensified in the valley. restrictions on the highways have majorly inconvenienced and disrupted the everyday life of the locals. the main thing I feel is that no one has the right information about how to do it, how to go, etc. while local vehicles are not being allowed on the highway between 10 am and 3 pm owing to security reasons, vehicles carrying yatres are moving with extra security cover. additional bunkers have also been set up along the highway from shrinagar to pehlgaam. after the amarnath yatra that began, our business was very good. now when this time is coming in 2019, our work is getting very difficult. we don't let civilians walk on the road, we don't even let the peddlers walk. they block the road. trucks carrying perishable items like tomatoes, onions, fruit, poultry, mutton eggs, etc. have suffered immensely. most of their products are walking and getting spoiled. in front of us, there is another check post and a general public is stopping us here. because they had to pass the convoy and due to this check post, the general public is first in the traffic jam and doesn't reach on time. regional parties have condemned the highway restrictions. both the hariyat fractions also condemned this move and called it undemocratic. as I live in shrinagar, we have a lot of problems in coming to the university. because the traffic jam that we have to stop due to the convoy, many students face a lot of problems in the bus service. the general public has to stop all the teachers and the professors in the traffic. we have to stop them in the traffic. they are late in class. this is affecting our education a lot.


I wanna make an ocean in a bag. Look at my sparkly ocean. We're gonna show you how to make one so you can play too. First, you need to squeeze some hair gel into a bowl. It's really gooey. Yup, very gooey. Then you wanna drop some blue food coloring into the gel. Just put in a few drops. You can always add more if you want to. Then you mix the food coloring and the hair gel together. Once your water is mixed, you're ready to make the rest of your ocean. First, you'll need a plastic bag. I'm adding some rice to make it look like sand. Now I'm gonna add some sea animals. Me too. I'm gonna add a little pink crab. I'm adding a turtle. And a cute little kitty. These are just little plastic toys.  I'm gonna use some cray paper for seaweed. Me too. If you want to, you can scrunch some of your paper up to make it look more like seaweed. I'm gonna add a little bit of glitter. I like sparkly water. Important tip, do not put anything sharp in the bag. If you do, it will pop the bag. Once you have everything inside, then it's time to put your water in. Can you hold the bag for me? Sure. Can you hold my bag open? Yeah, there we go. That's what I need. And then you have to seal the bag. Here you go. Oh, it feels like cool water on a hot day. It feels so mushy and fun. You just keep squishing and mix everything together. I put in a manta ray, some seaweed, and a dolphin. It really looks like the ocean. Just much more sparkly and glittery. Swim, Mr. Turtle, swim. And that's how you make an ocean in a bag. Love to make my own recipes. And today we're making frozen yogurt bites. We're gonna show you how to make them so you can play too. First you need plain yogurt. Let's put a little bit of yogurt into our bowls. You can use something to sweeten it like honey or jam. Now let's mix the sweeteners in. The honey stirs in really fast. Mine's changing color with the jam. And then you add fruit like blueberries or strawberries. I'm putting in strawberries. Me too. You can add nuts for something crunchy like pistachios or almonds. Mmm, I love almonds. It's gonna make it really crunchy. Once your yogurt is mixed, you're ready to put it in the ice cube tray. You have to make sure you do it really slowly so it fits in. I'm gonna give it a little taste. Mmm, tastes so good. I bet it'll taste even better when it's frozen. The cool thing is, if you make a little bit out of time, you can make a different recipe to fill up your tray. New bowls for the new recipe. We're starting with our yogurt again. Then we're gonna put in our sweeteners. I'm using strawberry jam for this one. My bowl's turning pink. Next time I'm gonna put in some blueberries. Wow, this one's gonna be really full of stuff. I'm cutting my blueberries so it will mix in. I'm putting in pistachios. And almonds. Once your tray is filled up, you're ready to put it in the freezer. The best thing to do is let it freeze overnight. So, I have frozen yogurt. These are the ones we made earlier, frozen and ready to eat. I'm gonna choose this one because this one looks like it has honey. I think the recipe is super cool because you can make frozen yogurt bites any way you want. Mine has jam, strawberries and pistachios. I think this has honey, strawberries and pistachios. Mmm, this tastes really good. That was super yummy. And that's how you make frozen yogurt bites. We're making beautiful sand art today. We're gonna show you how to do it so you can play too. First, you need a plastic bag, a piece of sidewalk chalk and some salt. Pour about a cup of salt into your bag. Now you'll need some chalk.  Then you zip it back up and then rub. Rub the salt and chalk together. The salt is scratchy on the chalk. It causes the chalk to break apart into teeny tiny pieces. Those little pieces mixed with the salt becomes your sand. The more you rub the darker the color of the sand would be. Once the salt is the color you want, you can pour it into a bowl. These are some sands we made earlier and we're gonna show you how to pour it. First, you'll need a recycled water bottle. It can be glass or plastic. Next, you'll need a funnel. You put the funnel on the top of the water bottle so you can pour the sand into the funnel and it comes into the water bottle.  You need about a half of these little cups. You can use whatever color you want. You can do it in a pattern or you can make it random. My turn. Now I'm adding blue. Put more blue because I want it to make a whole layer. Now I'm gonna put some green in. Last but not least, some pink. I'll put about half a cup of it. I'm adding a little bit more so it looks better. Now I'm gonna tilt it to make it even. You just keep on layering the colors you want. And then at the end you'll have a colorful sand masterpiece. There we go. We'll just shake it a little bit to make it a little even. Can we add a little bit more orange? Yeah. Why don't we add some pink? Okay. This is about to be full. Now you need to put the cap on. And that's how you make our masterpiece of sand art. Do you want some dinner, baby jellyfish? Yeah, let's go get some. I'm gonna get some fish. I'm gonna get some octopus. We made jiggly wiggly jellyfish. And we're gonna show you how to make one so you can play too. Papa jellyfish. First you need a bowl. So to poke a hole in the bowl so you can thread your yarn through. The reason why you're doing this is so that you can hang your jellyfish up on the wall or just play with it. And then pull it out almost all the way. When you're done with that you're going to tape it so that it can step. Tape it on the inside so no one can see. And so that you can hang it like this. After that what you're going to do is you're going to take markers or crayons and color the bowl with it so that your jellyfish can have some decoration. You can use any color if you want. I'm going to use a red. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to take a pink crayon and I'm going to color on top of the red marker so that it's very colorful and bright. I think the coolest thing about jellyfish is they've got stickers and so they can frame you. You can decorate it any way you want to like she decorated it with squiggles and lines. And I just decorated it and colored it all the way. You can draw hearts, you can draw smiley faces, you can draw anything you want on it to just make it look pretty. And so what you're going to do is you're going to take two googly eyeballs and you're going to use about this much glue and then you're going to stick it on the circle that we drew on the plate.  Jellyfish don't really have eyes but they are cute. When you're done with all that decorating you've got only half of your jellyfish done. Now we're going to move on to the tentacles. You can use ribbon, you could use cut up newspaper strips, you can use cut up magazine strips, you can really use anything you want. Right here we have ribbon and shred paper. And we also have yarn. I'm going to put a blue piece and you can use glue or tape to stick it on but if you want it to dry faster you should use tape. Tentacles on. You've made your jiggly wiggly pop of jellyfish. Don't they look awesome? I spy bottles. What's a nice spy bottle? It's a bottle where you spy. We're going to show you how to make one so you can play too. First we're going to make color for rice. You're going to first need a plastic bag and put in four to five pumps of hand sanitizer. I want to make my rice red. I'm making mine blue. Then put in four to five drops of food coloring and you're going to put a cup of rice. And just put one cup. You need to zip your bag and then you're going to put that rice and just swish it. It feels so mushy. Machine, machine, machine, machine, machine. Mine is all ready to dry your rice which will probably take an hour. You could just pour it into a bowl. This is the rice that we made earlier and now it's dry and now we're ready to make our eye spy bottle. This bottle was old and recycled from Sweet Tea. So we're going to have a clear bottle, a funnel, and here are some objects. So we're going to get a scoop in the red. And the funnel makes the rice go through it so then the rice will go into the bottle. And some minors to put inside the bottle. Here's some that we found. A paper clip, some candlesticks, some flowers, blue ball. Okay and now we're going to write down what we just put on. We're going to write things down so we can find them later. So now we're going to get another scoop. This is going to be nice and colorful. So I'm going to put in the dice and he's just going to put in the skateboard. I'm going to put in like the red rice and then an object and then the blue rice and then an object and then a green rice and an object and I just repeat it and repeat it until it's full enough. So now we're going to put in an object. So I'm going to put in the guitar and Daniel's going to put in a whistle. The whistle. The whistle. Okay so now to finish our rainbow. Now I'm going to put the cap on. I'm going to shake it up so I can find the objects. I found the couture. And that's how you make an ice spy bottle.
