It puts out 485 horsepower. This car has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100% ready to go. Probably one of the best-looking challenges we have on our lot. Indigo blues the color. I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, start it up. Take a look under the hood. Just give you the most accurate representation that I can of the car.

This one comes with the 20-inch SRT wheels. Has the Brembo brakes, part of that Scat Pack package. You get these slotted rotors on there as well. Wheels in great shape. It has very new Lex-Ani LX20 tires. These are 27540ZR20s, and they have a really good amount of tread left on them. I'd probably say 80%, 90% of the tread left on those tires. Front fender is in excellent condition. You get the 392 Scat Pack badge right there. Front fender, absolutely perfect. No dents or dings on there. The headlights are trimmed out in that carbon fiber projector lamp headlamps, LED running lights, projector fog lamps. I'm going to turn all those on at the end of the video so you can see just how bright they are. Front bumper is in excellent condition. No scuffs or scrapes on that lower valance, and no scuffs or scrapes on the front bumper. This one does have functional hood pins. I'm going to take these out so that when I open the hood, I can show you under there easily and quickly. You can see the hoods in nice condition around those hood pins so there's no damage on them. You get the cowl induction with the heat extractors on the hood. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Coming around to the passenger side, front fender looks really good. No dents or dings in there. The passenger side front wheel, no major scuffs or scrapes, looks really good. And indigo blue, one of my favorite blues on the Challengers. Got a lot of fine metal flake to it. Really good looking color. And as you go down this side of this 2022 Dodge Challenger, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. Take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you can get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back wheel is in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings down that side of the car. Back tire has just as much tread as the front tires. And coming around to the back, the rear bumper looks really good. Get the LED tail lamps back here, no scuffs, no scrapes, backup parking sensors. You get the chrome-tipped dual rear exhaust. Has an aftermarket spoiler on there, extra spoiler, trunk lids and great chip. No dents or dings on that. Trunk area is very clean. There's your jack tool and there's where your battery is located. Very clean back there. Coming around to the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger's side. No major dents or dings on the rear quarter. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is in fantastic condition as well. You get the Brembo brakes on here and down the rest of the side of the car. Door looks really good. Didn't see any dents or dings on there. You do get the heated power mirrors, blind spot monitoring on there as well.  You get the scapac logo stitched into the backrest. You get the houndstooth design on the center of the seats. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back there and it does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Factory floor mats, bright pedals down there, auto headlamps to get the carbon fiber trim on there, cloth bolster, power windows locks and mirrors and it does have the Alpine premium sound system. Hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this car has to offer on the interior. You get the scapac animation at the beginning there, 7 inch LCD display, digital speedometer and that's all configurable on the corners there. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Note the carbon fiber trim throughout the interior. I think the previous owner did that. This is a one owner clean title history, clean car fax from Wisconsin. Traded in here recently. Cruise controls, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left, audio controls on the back. Get that carbon fiber trim on the steering wheel there as well. Comes with the 8.4 4C radio. You get AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here. You have your heated seats and heated steering wheel controls.  You have all your different apps on here as well, including projection manager. You can project your cell phone to the screen. Why that's important is because this one doesn't have the factory navigation system, but project your phone up there with Waze or Google Maps and it's like you have nav right on the screen. We did a demo on an 8.4 with Android Auto. If you want to check that out, that's in the upper right hand part of the screen. You also get your performance pages. They take a second to load. So while they're loading, I will point out that there is a custom Hearst shifter in here, dual climate controls, volume and tune controls down there as well. Then you get that carbon fiber trim on the center console there as well. Keyless entry. That's a nice shape. Performance pages. Like I said, they take a second to load. So while they're still loading, passenger side, floor mat and seat are an excellent condition. It smells very clean inside this car. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. And the headliners in great condition too. Map lights, home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems and on assistant SOS buttons in the mirror. There are your performance pages. You get your different widgets there. You got your times. You got your gauges, g-force, engine and dyno. So what's cool is when we start it up here, those will actually go into effect. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. And you can see as I rev it there a little bit that those change, which is pretty cool. And this is also where your backup camera shows up. You can see that is working nicely as well. All right, let's go take a look under the hood. Also check out all those lights in the front. Sounds really good too. I love the 6-4. Probably one of the best sounding engines out there. LED tail lamps look great. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to verify the quality, condition, options and of course, cleanliness of this car all the way around inside and out. See those HID lights and LED running lights, factory fog lights. You do get the Rambai look on that air intake there, LED lights on there as well. Under the hood. We have the 6.4 liter V8 Hemi engine, 485 horsepower, does have a JLT cold air intake. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. Once again, this car has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this car is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker. So I guess those hood pins are just screwed in there and then they just bolt right to the hood. So that's how they work. And this car is 100% ready to go. I would highly recommend it from a quality and condition standpoint. I didn't see a single dent or ding on it. I shipped this one anywhere, California, Texas, New York, Florida, wherever. Whoever is going to get this car is going to love it. It's really nice and really good looking and just about perfect. So whoever is going to get it's going to love it.

This is kind of an awkward work of the Fantastic Three here. Really? Let's get this pretty sturdy.  Well, it's recording, so yeah. If you consider that a good joke. I'll tell you what the funniest joke was. Fantastic Four, bumper. So we just got done seeing the Fantastic Four. We went against the odds. You know, it has 9% on round tomatoes. It slipped to 8, I think, today. Okay, 27% fan percentage, so it's not doing well. And I think that 27 is pretty solid for it. 27% is about where it belongs. Let's break down the characters. Who do we got in this? We got Reed Richards, he's super stretch. Yeah, stretch arm strong guy. We got Suzanne Summers, invisible girl. Michael B. Jordan playing the human torch. We talked about this off camera, but I get if the director who did Chronicle, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I know the critics did, but now for some reason, everybody just hates it online. It's cool to jump on the bandwagon. Is it the director? Well, because of this film being bad, so yeah, Chronicles sucked too. Maybe it wasn't as good as they thought, yeah.  This is the guy. But he didn't do anything. He was very underutilized in the film, so it just made no sense. It was stunt casting and nothing more. I thought he had good, clever, subtle humor. Please elaborate. There was a time when he was on a chair, he kind of like bounced down just to kind of break the tension. Oh, that's the joke in the trailer, and that's like two jokes in the film. And it's not even a joke, it's just, he's just going down and doesn't have any meaning. And when you say he's not like a haha, like throwing out jokes, he's just kind of a high flying, like, literally, talk about the effects on him, and I was just, it was poor they were. They got better at that. They got better at the end. Yeah, well those effects got better, but everything else just went out the window.  So going in, I had zero interest, that's where my gauge was at, between one and a thousand. Yeah, I was hoping to go to Southpaw tonight, but... You're kind of off camera, and you should just peek a boo in a little bit more, and Drew is not in the middle, like... Well, I didn't want to blot him, and I got high into the... Well, there is a perspective thing. I'm just kind of loving this camera. Oh, I don't know if I'll use that, so that's the GoPro, that's the secondary shot. This is a very professionally made, well-crafted show. Um, yeah, so Kate Mara was one of the only reasons I wanted to see this, just to see her in her little outfits, doing her invisible... Which she really didn't do much. No, she didn't do anything, either. It wasn't like a scandalous, like, come out of the cryo chamber in a bikini. Oh, hey boys! Speaking of the cryo chambers, that shit's just bouncing back and forth towards the end, like, it's nothing. Like, they can just cue that thing up. It took decades to get this to build this. He comes in, reprograms it in ten minutes, they're jumping back and forth to the fourth dimension. It's like making a hot pocket, and the thing's there and back already. I love how a lot of the battles or, like, the action is, it is very PG-13, except for the scene where Dr. Doom walks through and blood splatters off. That was one of the only cool things, and I bet there was a lot more of that, but if the director wasn't fighting with the studio, with Fox so much, why don't you just, like, move up? I don't know. No, no, just, like, lean awkwardly forward, like, the shining or something. Yeah, there you go. Now touch my shoulder. Yeah, now rub my shoulder in his at the same time. The fighting in this is really bad. There's, like, two scenes in total. A total of maybe five minutes, and, like, some of the best parts are, like, a stretch punch. That was so bad, like, it's like no creativity, it's like, let's, they may not be able to take one of us, but can they take all four of us? Yeah, I was calling the line, we were far in lines out during the movie. There's no choreography, there's nothing creative, there's a fight in the woods that lasts all of seven seconds.  That was probably the most disappointing part of the entire Fantastic Four movie was there wasn't enough action. I didn't mind, like, the intro, like, the first 30 minutes, like, the build-up background story, that was all right. Then you're expecting, okay, well, let's get into some battle scenes, and it's pretty lackluster. Yeah, we're ragging on it a lot, but the first, I'd say, 30, 40 minutes is pretty good. He's slowly building up the stories, focusing on the science aspect, which was kind of cool, and it was refreshing. The problem is, it started out a lot smarter than it really was, and by the end, you're just shaking your head the entire time, like, this is what we built up for, this stupid, generic fight that we've seen a million times, much better in other films. Dr. Doom looked terrible. Yeah. He looked nothing like he does in the comic books, or even the last movie did better than that. He looked... Yeah, he was... He looked gross. He wore a mask in the old ones, because he was ashamed of how he looked, because he was a really pretty boy. Oh, good. His looks were part of his image, so he didn't want people to see him, so he wore a mask and he wore the hood, but in this one, he was, like, an environmentalist freak show.  The thing that I don't get is, they went back to save him.   Now, I'm coming into yours. He was limping, and he just... He just... Don't worry about that. I just, like, put the hood on. There's a heat mask. Why'd he put the hood on? Where did he get the hood? He's embarrassed. He just grabbed a jacket over there, and he was like, Yeah, I like this. There was this dumbest Transformers. There was a Transformers 3 when Megatron's wearing the scarf in the desert. He's a robot!  And not much of a following to the comic, I don't think, in Ant-Man.  Anyway, let's give this a review. This has gone on far. This might be longer than the movie itself. Thank God. Yeah, I'm gonna give this a... I'm not gonna go easy.  I'm gonna double up on that and go three. Trice. I'll go four. Oh! I didn't think it was as bad as the critics say. Well, we even did meet when we jumped in with that 30%. Yeah, 30% seems fair.  It doesn't need it. It doesn't need it. I guess it's feelings aren't hurt. It's feelings aren't hurt, you guys. Oh, wow. I respect that. I... Yeah. Okay, well, till next time... I feel like the price is right. Oh, okay. I'm not gonna end this, I guess. So, till next time, we'll see you in the... Till next time, we'll see you in the car. I say that now.


everybody and thank you very much for the possibility to be a part of this session. I will speak about the special deposits in rural settlements of the Hungarian kingdom from the 11th to the 14th century. This is more or less coincides with the time frame of the rule of the arpad dynasty. I say Hungary and Kingdom and not that all these deposits were made by Hungarians because naturally it was a multi-ethnic state and as you will see later in some cases it's possible to see some kind of deposits as ethnical markers of certain settlements. So the first such finds emerged already at the beginning of the archaeological investigation of rural peasant settlements in Hungary. These only started in the 1950s because before of that era archaeological research into medieval peasantry in Hungary was very sporadical before it all most of the researchers were concentrating on churches, religious buildings and royal castles and from the 1950s partly because of the ideological pressure from the socialist state it became important to start to deal with the material culture of the so-called working classes. All together it had a positive impact on the research. The first such finds were found by the forefather of this researcher Istanmeri. He was the first found rooster with a broken neck put into one of the post-holes of a medieval semi-subterranean dwelling house and he immediately identified it as a building deposit and unfortunately later on it became almost automatical if somebody found at a medieval ruler's settlement something which seems to be strange seems to be some kind of sacrifice it automatically became identified as a building deposit even if there were no traces of being a building at the site at all or and especially and sometimes even in cases when local people just came to the museum they carried a pot what they found there was a knife and some some bone fragments inside it and the archaeologists usually automatically presumed that it was also a building deposit which was not correct as you will see later for example this was the very case in the case of the Yasago find local people just just found this plot a few chicken bones and a few egg pieces were found inside it and especially in the case of Kestredobogu where no less than seven such pots were found there were no real traces of any building around them but Kari Shagi immediately suggested that there must have been some kind of superficial building which which left no traces and these were the building deposits belonging to them some of these finds are very wrongly documented they have just a few photos there is an egg as well it's very common to to have iron pieces inside the spots in in the in the case of the phoenix find arrowheads and knife parts and in this case a big nail and and sometimes there are blue pearls it's it's very rare but this this is a blue pearl nearby chicken bones and the bubble showcase it's interesting because a blue we have later ethnographical data that there were folk beliefs about that if you if you put up a blue pearl somewhere on you or on a little baby it can defend him from being cursed with a blue eyed but by a blue eyed witch so probably putting a blue pearl inside the the default could have a defending effect against the witches so for the main questions which arise by these definitions are that we first have to investigate that exactly what kind of items became deposited and can any kind of pattern or general customs we observe in their positioning inside the settlements or inside the houses if indeed they were found inside houses sometimes they were as we can see and what kind of archaeological and ethnographical parallels might be found uh exact archaeological parallels of this all of these customs outside the Carpathian basin are practically non-existent there will be one example I will deal with that at the very end of the presentation but the partial parallels naturally there are and I will speak about it to you and in the end the main question emerges what could have been the purpose or the purposes of such rituals because we will see even if formally two rituals seem to be identical from the archaeological remains their function their function can be can be still can be different yeah I I try to to collect the materials don't be frightened by this picture I will deal with the main things is that the most important thing that eggs are very common mostly mostly chicken eggs and chicken bones as well these most likely connect somehow with fertility beliefs there are very few cases but there are cases than bones of water birds or or in the back is even an egg of a spoon built that was found and it was suggested in that case that that it it even can have traces back to Bronze Age mythologies when the when the when the wall creation was from eggs of water birds perhaps it's it's a bit stretchy but but anyway the the eggs must must be the symbols of fertility and creation most of the sacrificed animals are either fans or roosters and but there are the there are unique cases which is which are difficult to explain I did not include it the rare the few years before excavated examples of the village of Canada because those seem to be very special and the very local thing because no no less than 14 pots were found inside several buildings and mostly several types of fishes and sometimes even frogs were were were inside those but those seem to be those are so unique inside the carapacean basin that that seem to be some kind of local part of some kind of local belief system which is which can be hardly identified anymore go back for a while here is another special case partially because you can be seen a part of a bedstone stones are also can be find sometimes just just just very small ones it has in my opinion the the usage of a bedstone can can have a connection also with the with the fertility of of earth this case is very interesting because even though it was found inside the building it was there was no additional hole back for it and neither was in in in any constructional part it was simply lying on the floor of the dwelling house so so the only explanation can be that that the that this special definition was was placed after the usage of the building was finished and it's possible that the ritual repealment was taken taking place when the locals left that place of the village here i we have sometimes very little data about the orientation of the findings compared to buildings or compared or or compared to the maps of the villages in the kings of sentiental polvo there were three finds and each of them were at the southwestern corner of the house it was their excavator on real polish told and she's most likely right that it it cannot be simply by chance so they they choose of the southwestern corner must must have had some some kind of meaning we do not know how but but later similar finds emerge there but also the southwestern or or western parts were used and such was the case as well in the above mentioned secondary definition of the general alpha and that if you look closely to the map of the cast head dovago site excavation just expand briefly so here here was the medieval village and all the and the the c and the e markers mark the location of the the definitions and this ditch most likely marked the border of the village but but the last houses were found here so in this case it's possible that the two definitions here which were not inside buildings one of them was just a part of best solid some charred crane inside it the the other is a company best solid bit again and again the nail inside it it's possible that these were some kind of board border guards here and together in the ditch these could have somehow guarded the the the settlement from the outside world the rich physically and these on a more on an on an other kind of magical level and I just put in these parallels even the they seem to be far stretching because they are from the middle then you region bronzy uh lake bronzy and larkinage settlement but the better traction has noticed that at numerous settlements there is also a pattern at the islandage settlement there that the inside the houses inside the post halls generally the also the southwestern corner was chosen for the definitions he he couldn't come up with the solution either and it's a completely different era and partially different region but the similarity of the of the custom is still astonishing it is a traction's data about the orientations so these are either southwestern orientations or or the exact opposite which is likely also isn't isn't just a coincidence it's it's just another interesting parallel from a biking gauge long hands very very very also the southwestern quarter was used just nearby the entrance for for a table of the detonation there's a different platform from Finland it's not visible but the egg egg pieces were also found nearby is the leap rose engulf which which was just at the southwestern corner of a huge building and it could be dated by c reporting to this era no back to to the question of the refluent processes here can be seen the John Paul of the case before the vessel was a thing that you can see that that it's it's literally on the on the floor and not inside the post hall which is which is here so there's there's no way that it was placed there after the building because nobody would just just go around it by by using the the house there are a few examples inside the Anglo-Saxon settlements of similar depositions which by the opinion of Helena Hammerow also show marks of the refluent processes so so so then most likely when the village side was both left they might not just live there sometimes the the the building houses but some kind of ritual might have been taken place together when several items were placed inside it this leads us to another interesting element the the placement of horse schools inside the buildings in in Hungary the first such horse school was found by islami as well and here this is you know and he rightly identified it that it might have been put to the top of a semi-subterranean building it it has very interesting links with with the migrant customs before christianization of the country because in the 19th between the 19th century hungarians horse burial was a common thing and as christianity arrived there are laws especially the laws of king saying that this is which which forbade the eating of horse meat most likely because it was a kind of pagan sacrifice if if one cut down horse and and he ate its meat and slowly the the horse burials disappeared from the christian cemeteries sometimes there are few few horse bones put inside christian graves but then it disappeared as well and the the the putting of of horse heads to the top of the semi-subterranean buildings of already christian people might have been a late remembrance of pagan worldview in some cases it's very interesting that's that's a different example here are the horse pieces of the horse horse school these horse schools sometimes rise very in a very intact station even though they are easily breakable so in my in my opinion it's it's it's also a possibility that these might have been as well placed there in as part of the rational process so when the when the village moved the house were was torn down they put down the horse school from the top but they didn't throw it away but but instead laid it down to the to the remains of the modern house there are a few ethnographical parallels to it especially in mongolia but but also amongst the cases nomadic steppe people like to preserve the head of beloved horses in case of the mongolians these sites are called oboe where where they keep the horse school and ensure respect to it sometimes by by by putting color strings after it and there are a few examples when in hangar even that the horse schools are not excavated inside buildings but inside separate pits and it's it's possible that these pits show the end of the life cycle of perhaps similar the the third part which part interconnects in the magical pots are dog sacrifices these these sometimes are are found just inside ditches but it's very common that in the filament of old ovens complete either complete or or or sometimes half-cutted dog skeletons can be found and i've included this case it's very interesting no less than four such vessels were found and into each one the skull of a beheaded dog was was was pushed into and and then in this case the question remains is that what what kind of belief systems could be to be connected to the dogs we have only one written source about the pagan era of the hangarians a letter of arbishop tailed mark he was an arbishop of south work and he brought a letter to the pope in which he was speaking about that who who bad people the moravians were because even though the moravians are formerly christians as he is telling they they allied with the hangarians and during these alliance they took oaths to to dogs wolves and other horrible things the more the the interesting part and it is not not if he was right about the moravians because naturally it's a political that he wants to explain the pope that why why it was the cause of the moravians and not that of him that the hangarian tried to be became so strong in the area but if but if there is some kind of truth behind it then it might be suggested that early hangar and of early hungarians they might have been accustomed to take an oath after either a wolf or a dog sacrifice and in case most likely the dog was was there instead of a wolf which must have been much more difficult to to carry to the place of the oaths but we have much more written evidence about the kumans or kipchaks other name whom have settled into the hungarian kingdom in in great numbers during the 13th century because of the Mongolian invasion on the Russian steppes and it's it's very well documented that among the kipchaks it was a common belief to adore wolves as gods and as well to make dog sacrifices we we know a very special case when the hungarian king Belodiforce made a marriage between his son prince stefan and a kipchak prince alizabeth that after the christian ceremony the dog was sacrificed as well because the the kipchaks wanted that it must have been made because it was part of their marriage customs so it's difficult to decide that if that if at a rural settlement remains of the dog sacrifice appear that can be connected to the kipchaks or is it just a later remembrance of previous hungarian pagan beliefs in the case of the of the triangular site the answer is easy because at the same site was was excavated the very ridge grave of a kuman chieftain so in that case it it it must have been the local kipchak people who sacrificed these goods business another example of rathomand it's an almost complete clay cauldron which was found inside the rathomand of a semi-subterranean building at Chonakport so all together in my opinion even though i i have not built the effort but the similar pots are sometimes found inside churches and even monastical buildings so in some cases they have they must play different roles but in the case of rural but in the case of rural settlements these must have been connected to the life cycle of such a settlement because there there is a time when the settlement leaves and later these settlements were were moving we we know it even from the royal laws because laws were made that about that how far hungarian village might go away from the church to to which it belongs because it was important that all the people had to go to the church every Sunday it's a early 20th century picture from from from Serbia from a moving wooden house but it it must have been similar the the more the the most important wooden material must have been collected from the houses and they moved them and sometimes perhaps returned and and such a sacrifice of so processes might have taken place both when the new settlement was created or either after it because these might have given to the land fertility because after the site of the of the previous village was was was grazed and then reused as agricultural territory and finally the village might have even returned so we can see that early medieval cyclic are agriculture just forced the presently to a theoretical movement and such depositional practices if they if they can be related to the periodical advent of the settlements could forth part of agricultural coast sacred fertility of the soil for the future and I love the most interesting part of our from outside Hungary to the left this was a found in Dalmatia in in Croatia and the publisher the Croatian artist Anton Milosović himself is on the opinion that that it must have been some kind of ethnography some kind of ethnographical influence from the Hungarian kingdom because he has found no power to it inside Croatia or Dalmatia these were fine then he said is very prestigious building as kind of a building sacrifice again a western pieces of egg and two and two vessels perhaps it's a perhaps it might be a stretch to to connect it to some kind of ethnical hunger and influence because even though the Hungarian king officially was the overlord or lord of the territory he lived very far away and it's and it's difficult to imagine that any kind of cultural influence of a peasant of Hungarian peasants might have influence on the on the coast of the Adriatic Sea so except the case of if it's if similar such finds will reappear I might not make that connection but it's interesting


This is a phenomenal newsletter. Okay, it's thorough. I say it all the time. I love it. Bunch of subscriber-only webinars. You get access to all of those. All the time that we have them backed up on. Most recent one was December 20th. Maybe we should talk about having something soon. But we have Basil Chapman on right now. Basil, are you with us? I certainly am, Jacob. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you doing, Basil? I'm very well. Thank you. Good. What are we taking a look at today? You know, I was talking about still dynamics a little bit. You're saying it's part of the rotational market. I, you know, obviously I know you have a lot to talk about, but I would like at some point to hear your kind of thoughts on that rotational market and kind of what you mean when you say that. Okay, so let me just do this quickly. Sure. This is the Dow chart. We are still a core position along from March of 20. In the Dow, March of 2020. And then added to October of 2022. And we still have those positions on a very short term basis, just as kind of protection. We did take a small short position in the Dow. Got a very tight stop. And one of the reasons is we've come to a point here. This is the Ford. You can see this middle chart. So on the left is the daily chart of the Dow. The middle chart is the weekly and on the right, these are all my charts. When I show them, I show you daddy on the left. Middle is the weekly on the right is the monthly chart. Monthly chart is still very bullish in the Chapman week methodology. If you identify a low and it gets upgraded from a bi-signal to a bi-mode, the implication is it should go to at least a D. That means that the monthly chart to make a peak D, you've got to go for at least three months. That's number one with higher highs. That is in the weekly chart. If this is the 14th week and this is still only a, it means to get a D. We have a minimum. It's called, I originally called this technique the seven wave form because it gets you to the seventh wave in leg D. But actually over the decades, I've found that it doesn't work quite that way. It can get a little more complex because that D, other things can happen. But if this is only a, even if we had a pullback very sharply, it would say that you can't make a peak D until at least another six weeks to seven weeks. That's if every single week there's a higher high and the next week there's a lower high. So that's very bullish. But that doesn't mean to say the short term can't see a sharp pullback. So within that context, the Dow is still positive. And as I say, we have just got kind of a protective stop. But we're looking at today, Microsoft comes out with earnings. We had General Motors, that was good. We had Microsoft coming out off to the bell, Google and advanced micro devices. So when I talk about the chance of a rotational market, it means that sometimes when the market is very strong and you've had leadership, let's just say Microsoft, which is trading at 408 today, it was up in the 412 area. We're still long for subscribers from the 338 level. Let's just say it pulls back really sharply. Google for some reason says something that's a little negative and it pulls back very sharply. It means that at this particular point, you can start to see areas like the SLX, which is the select Vannick Vector Steel ETF start to move higher. And you mentioned STLD. That is Steel Dynamics, Steel Products, Hot Rolls and Cold Finish Steel. Very nice. It wasn't. And that's the other thing I wanted to mention. Stocks on one day can look quite poor. And that wasn't looking very good. It looked like head and shoulders from the top. And all of a sudden it reverses and you've got this huge move of 4.5%. So that's what I'm talking about. I'm watching the oil service sector. I'm watching other things because what I've tried to do with my newsletter is I've tried to get a whole range of sectors. Stocks in sectors or the sectors themselves. I've also tried to get stocks that are in completely different price ranges. For instance, we have a single digit stock that we bought in the threes and is now up in the sevens. We've got a financial stock. We've got Bank of America, which just today broke out nicely from the recent high. It's doing very nicely. So that rotation is important. So just to get to your question about this rotation aspect, let's just say it's the other way around. Google comes out. I think Microsoft might be first and then Google, whatever it is this afternoon, are fantastic blowout earnings. We can have one of the most amazing sessions tomorrow. We just don't know because we're on the cusp. It's been since the late October law. We've had November, December, and all of January up until now where it's just been higher highs and basically higher lows. So I think on a shorter term basis, just purely on my technicals, we started to get overboard. But the market doesn't know that. Remember, the market doesn't know what we're looking at. It just does what it has to do. So we're trying to interpret it. So in that regard, I think it's kind of important what I've tried to do for subscribers is we're in different areas. Quite a few of them are kind of under the radar. And I think that's very important right now because it says that there's a chance that if you get some kind of a, just a normal pullback, which we haven't really had, you just saw the Dow chart. Let me go there again to show you that weekly chart. That is amazing. 14 weeks, essentially except for those three sideways weeks, we've been higher highs and higher lows. Just looking at it visually and saying, oh, this should pull back. But the market doesn't know that. What I'd be looking at is if the Dow breaks under 37,000 anytime in February, then the consolidation should become a little bit deeper and maybe a little bit longer. But right now, we are looking at higher highs and high lows. And that rotational sector is very important. And you would want to see the same thing in the IW. Really, it just cannot get any grip on any, it gets no traction. Every time it rallies, it stalls out. So we want to see a rotation taking all the different sectors.  And there is a broadening out. And if you look at the semiconductors, the SMHs, that's going to be important because advanced micro gives earnings today. But it hasn't made for four days since the high of 195.90. It's kind of stalled. So I think we have a lot of clues that we can look for if the semiconductors suddenly pull back. And I'm not sure that advanced micro devices with the billions that are coming in from the government to support new industry. I'm not sure that anything will happen over the short term. So I think we've got to look at this and say, let the market tell us. So for me, I've got certain numbers. If they break support levels, then we're going to have a deeper correction. But right now, this rotation is very important. That's why I like to see the financial sector doing well. And I'd like to see the steel because steel is your infrastructure. That's really important. Absolutely. And you're not putting words in your mouth or anything, but I think you'd mention something with Tom with semiconductors. Like, looking at that is really now one of the really good indicators of where this market is going to go. And we just had reports from Supermicro. And Supermicro just does management softwares. OK, so this is almost like derivative of these microchips, right? And Supermicro is doing phenomenally. So this whole industry surrounding the chips or the semiconductors are so massive. But yeah. Because the semiconductor chips are oil of the 1900s and 2000s. Now you've got semiconductor chips that are in everything. They're as important as oil used to be. Basil, thank you so much as always. Have a great rest of your day, OK? Thank you very much. Take care now. Bye. Have a good day, James. We'll be right back.


Here is a fun game to help a child understand left and right. For this you'll need a piece of paper, a marker, and some small objects. First, take the paper and fold it in half so that each side is even. Unfold the paper and grab your marker and write the letters L on the left side of the paper and R on the right side. You can say to the child the L on this side of the paper means that it is the left side while the R on the other side of the paper means that it is the right side. Then you can ask the child to place their small objects on the left or right side. For example, you can say can you put the eraser on the left side of the paper and the child can put the eraser on the left side. You can say good job, the eraser is on the left side of the paper. Then you can say can you put the button on the right side of the paper and the child can take the button and put it on the right side of the paper. You can continue playing this game this way or you can have the child ask you to put some objects on the left or right side of the paper. For example, the child might say can you put the rock on the left side of the paper and you can take the rock and put it on the left side of the paper. If you don't have small objects available, you and the child can draw things on the left or right of the paper instead. This game will help a child have a better understanding of the location of objects.


Backblaze has released their Q3 2018 hard drive stats less is more So I've always enjoyed these I've done a video which I'll link to as well where I go more in depth with some of the hard drive statistics And what they all mean, but this is a quick overview of all the drives that they have number of drive days drive counts and failures, and this is the only place. I know that has a really Detailed report over time because you can get the impression that hard drives are failing Because you see a lot of them because a lot of them were sold so they come in you go Hey I see all of this brand hard drive failing because I see a lot of them out there But that doesn't give you the count for how many are really there so back to playing the statistics They give you those stats, which is very helpful so you get a better understanding of which hard drives are really failing So here they are so hgst and this has been through all the years And we're going to jump to that because they have the longer term overview of this Hgst been a favorite drive of mine for a lot of our projects and a lot of our servers But and they're clearly a winner over at back plays and they have some of the lowest average failure rates now to give you Just a quick overview. They have 79 of these drives drive days is how many days? Cumulatively 79 drives and running so they haven't been running Each one 6,000 days, but it's the cumulative time that they're running So you get a better idea how that math equation works So with 25,000 drives running 24 hours a day, so that's how many days you've been installed You come up with 2.2 million drive days with 78 failures, and we see 1.29% Because it's one of those important things when you're looking at this. It's not just about dry failures It's how long have they been in place during this period of time? But C gate consistently, you know a lot of drive days and 0.8% on these C gates here 0.96% here now I got to admit 1.29% based on this drive days is not Terrible for the C gates because you're talking about a drive count of 25,000 of these 12 terabyte drives So it's still a pretty low annual failure rate But we go down here and look at some of these where we have like 1.3 million Drive days for this HTST for a terabyte model. I think these are the same models. I have in my server right now 0.27% so granted this is low But this is even lower and the same thing here for this particular model So this is the 404 BLE640 and ALE640, and I don't know the specific differences But you know 0.34 0.27% so they're really really close Western Digital with only 39,000 drive days 4.64% so they're kind of yeah, they're kind of out there and of course here's another one 2.3 million drive days in the C gate for terabyte That's just not good 2.28% failure rate. So pretty high for both the four terabyte C gates and these now Let's wander down a little bit here And look at the overall because they keep the running totals going since they started this project of Documenting all the drive details. So from April 2013 to September 2018 We can see that we have an annual failure rate because they just haven't been in that long of these 12 terabyte ones of 0% Failed of these 79 and then we look at the C gates again with 5 million drive days for these 12 terabytes Now you're you know expand the time range 1.2% so it's not super high But it is there and I'm not sure how they calculate I'm not going to go into the confidence rate. These are the Average failure rate column that we're looking at here Hgst 8 terabytes Still 0.98% so a little bit higher than the fours, but not not crazy It's not all the way up at 1.2 or like this Western Digital 6 terabyte like man 4% failure so Western Digital 6 TVs not looking good for them at all And then we go down here and we come back to these Hgsts Now we're looking at them over time and we do see over time more from fail But you're talking about 10 million and 13 million drive days and pointing and being at 0.5 and 0.46 percent Now they do have an overall average of only 1.7 percent So there's still all falling on the below average with the C gate down here C gate 4 terabytes at above average failure rates And in our Western Digital 4 terabytes here now these drive stats I think are important I wish more companies would reveal what hardware they were using and how they were doing it and back plays just does a great job of This of putting these stats out there so we can get some really good feels I install a lot of these Hgsts based on this and knock on wood I have not had any problems have I seen a lot of C gate failures absolutely But that's not enough for me saying oh, yeah, I seen these failed to say it's a statistic But when we look at a company that's installing 14,000 hard drives, okay, they have a much better testing pool for this So I still think this is a great source for gathering some of that data I'll leave links below to some of those Hgsts and other drives That they use in here and you can find them through our Amazon if you want to purchase one of these But like I said, I still lean towards and I'm still happy with the overall on the Hgst drives But I tell you what this C gate, I mean it 12 TB's 25,000 drives 1.2 9% not absolutely terrible But not near as good as I mean granted We only have 79 of these drives, but these 12 terabyte right here these Hgsts storage is definitely a key issue when it comes to you know, where do we put all the stuff and It's really good. I'll leave the link to this of course so you can read through here because they also talk about some of the Details and things that they're working on because back plays is greatly expanding as fast as they can because the demand for cloud storage is growing Rapidly too, and if you're not familiar with back plays check them out They're actually a pretty cool company for doing block storage at really reasonable prices. We've done some work with them We have some storage systems built that use back plays as a back end for backup. It works. Well, we've never had a problem.

Namaskaram Sadhguru, there are many shrines in Ashram where I have seen your footprints engraved in stone and similar I have seen at my friend's place as well. So I wanted to ask if are these your footprints and what is the significance of having it at one's home? I'm not that heavy that I… When I walk, I leave footprints on the stone, you know, in this culture, in this civilization. We've looked at the human body, not just for its physiology, but for its energetic physiology. In yoga, as there is a physical body, there is a mental body and a energy body, Pranamayakosa, it's called. So Pranamayakosa can be in many different ways, out of these seventy to thousand noddies. Even if a little over twenty percent is active, you can live fine, nobody will know anything wrong with you. That's how wonderfully this is structured. If you're getting twenty percent mark, you'll still pass. This happened. Shankaran Pillai was taking an exam in United States and he's in an entry level exam for MSc in mathematics, but little, nothing much. He's not studied for this. So when he gave the test paper, he pinned a hundred dollar bill to the paper and wrote, one dollar for every mark, hundred out of hundred. So when the test results came, the papers came back, he opened, dollars fell down. He had pinned only one, one bill, but many knots fell down. He picked it up and counted it to seventy-three and a marks. So the energetic body is such that even just a little over seven, twenty percent is active.  Neither you will know nor anybody else will know anything wrong with you. Fantastic, isn't it? What a gift. At twenty percent functionality, you'll feel you're fine. So what is the remaining eighty percent for out of this seventy-two thousand nadis? What are they doing? There are many, many aspects of it. Let me not go. Let's just come to the feet. So if you've activated your energies in a certain way, this is true even if you have not. Your hands, palms and soles are always very active energy wise. You will have much more intimacy with somebody just by holding hands rather than doing many other physical things. Just holding hands binds you like that because energetically there is a certain closeness in holding hands. Actually, when there is lust, there will be sexuality. When there is love, generally holding hands. Yes, because even if you don't know anything about these things, instinctively you know this is how you feel closest. This is why in this culture when we greet somebody, hands coming together does fantastic things. But instead of you being twenty... twenty-seven percent age, if you are closer to over ninety percent age or hundred percent or at least let's say ninety plus, then your hands and feet have completely different capabilities. It is from this context this has come that any sage, saint, yogi, anybody, you don't know nothing about him.  From there, we have come to this that anybody elderly means you touch their feet, father, mother, whoever else. Generally in ancient India, people became worthy if they were nothing. If they have not achieved anything within themselves, people became worthy of being, you know, bowed down to only after they've completed five solar cycles, which is your approximately sixty years of age. Because by then life matures in a certain way, your energies have moved out of certain other areas of your body and little more concentrated in your hands and feet. So the culture identified this and says if there is an elderly person, you must touch their feet because there is a benefit.   You go touch their feet because that's where maximum receptivity or giving is there. So in that context, the feet or the imprint of the feet is created in different ways. You must talk to people who have these sanities at home, what it means to them and what it's done to them. The important aspect of it is something that would normally not be available to you physically, where you live. It is available to you, otherwise you'll have to go in search of that to a temple or some other place. But it's alive in your own house because it's consecrated in a certain way. Well, there are stone imprints with sacred ash filled in that. They're consecrated in a certain way. There is another one which is copper or brass foot, which is also consecrated. There's another one which is much more alive. If you want to use sanity like a temple in your house, not just for you, for people to come and you know experience that, then you put something like that.


Mr. Speaker, you know, when I came in this morning there were members opposite towards indicating to me, I have nothing to say this morning, you know, I should quite and I recognize a sort of a game of chess this morning as to whether I would speak, Mr. Speaker. But Mr. Speaker, I would like to share a few words on the motion, but before that if you'll permit, I would just like to express my deepest condolences to a colleague, a former colleague, Norbert Williams, who passed night before Mr. Speaker. And I wish to express condolences to his family and his loved ones, Mr. Speaker. He was the attaché to the former prime minister. Mr.  We never know when our number will be called, Mr. Speaker.  Mr. Speaker, while I'm on the floor, I would also want to take the opportunity, while it not be directly related to the motion, but I think it's important, not just for me, but for every member in parliament, you know, to make a contribution with regards to the scourge as it regards to the crime situation, Mr. Speaker. And so, Mr. Speaker, I want to, first of all, applaud the commissioner of police for her press conference. I think it was yesterday or the day before, Mr. Speaker, you know, really, really sending a strong message out there, Mr. Speaker. Likewise, the prime minister in his address, Mr. Speaker, although I did feel he should have instilled the fear of God, you know, in some of the people out there. But, Mr. Speaker, it is very clear that we as parliamentarians, you know, have to speak, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, I, they may be a respite, Mr. Speaker, based on, you know, the words from the commissioner, the words from the prime minister. But the point is, Mr. Speaker, we have very, very highly sophisticated guns on the island. And what our intention should be is to get these guns off the street, Mr. Speaker. We are very happy that the prime minister spoke to the reintroduction of the K9 unit. Slightly disappointed, Mr. Prime Minister, that you wanted to juxtapose. The reason for introducing the K9 was because of the scanners. I don't think that was necessary to indicate. But I commend, I commend that, Mr. Speaker, it's very important, you know, that we try to take these guns off the street, Mr. Speaker, because when I, when I see some of what has been, you know, shown on social media, it is very scary. The point is, Mr. Speaker, how are the guns coming in? Are there people facilitating the importation of these guns through our various borders, Mr. Speaker? But at the end of the day, we must all be speaking with one voice as it relates to getting rid of this scourge, Mr. Speaker, because we never know when it will be on our doorstep, Mr. Speaker. So I thought it was necessary, Mr. Speaker, to speak to the whole issue of crime and as a parliament, we must speak with one voice in terms of ensuring that, you know, we cut the head, we cut the tail, we cut the body, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm on record consistently in this parliament to indicate that a government must borrow. I'm on record. It is necessary. It is a necessary evil if you could use that expression for governments to borrow. I'm also on record, Mr. Speaker, for wanting this government to do well, Mr. Speaker. I have said that because, Mr. Speaker, if this government do well, our people supposedly benefit, our communities benefit, and the country as a whole benefits, Mr. Speaker. And so, you know, it is very important when we in opposition, Mr. Speaker, we mind our words because sometimes these words could come back to us when we're in office, Mr. Speaker. There's a saying, heavy is the head that wears the crown, Mr. Speaker. And each one of us here have a crown that we wear, a heavy crown. In fact, the Prime Minister has the heaviest crown. In fact, only this morning I heard a member for Central Castries speaking in the pollock across the room as to the toll being in government takes on him as a parliamentarian and, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker. And you know, he's not 100% this morning, Mr. Speaker. But it's a fact, Mr. Speaker. When you are parliamentarian, when you're a government minister, there's a significant pressure on you, Mr. Speaker. And you have, Mr. Speaker. Because all of us, I believe most, maybe 99% of us who come into politics, who come for the benefit of our community and our people. Some may come in with ulterior motives and some along the way, Mr. Speaker, may get caught up in, you know, being dragged in the wrong direction, Mr. Speaker. But I believe everybody who comes into politics come for the benefit of the people. And so, Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has that heavy crown, he has that heavy crown to wear. And obviously, he has to look at ways in which, you know, he can improve the lives of St. Louisians, particularly the vulnerable, you know, Mr. Speaker. And you heard the Prime Minister with regards to the borrowing. The Prime Minister indicated that today we're borrowing almost $280 million for budget support. And, Mr. Speaker, I would remember. And as I said, Mr. Speaker, borrowing is necessary. What we or what I might do on this side is to question what the borrowing is for. But I will never, you know, speak against borrowing. That's on record, Mr. Speaker. But the Prime Minister spoke this morning with regards to the amount that is borrowing and for the various reasons that he's borrowing, Mr. Speaker. And I'm hoping that the Prime Minister in his rebuttal could advise me as to whether, because, you know, my memory is sometimes waning, you know, as to whether these funds are funds that were previously on the books or negotiated by the former administration. And they are now being either repurposed or, but because I remember there was a similar amount, you know, negotiated with the government of Taiwan, Mr. Speaker. So I just wanted the Prime Minister to advise me whether, you know, that is, you know, similar facility or is that the same facility that has been repurposed, Mr. Speaker? Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister spoke to the various purposes that I indicated about your support. And I remember when we were in government, Mr. Speaker, we borrowed amounts from the CDB, the World Bank for similar purposes. But as a government, we were chided. We were certain memes as with regards to every Tuesday what we are coming to borrow, Mr. Speaker. Nothing in the region of what we borrow in here today, Mr. Speaker. But obviously, obviously, Mr. Speaker, you know, an opportunity presented itself. And when in opposition, we spoke about it, Mr. Speaker. The Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker, also spoke that some of the money that are being borrowed will be for land acquisition. And he was very careful to indicate that it's not just within the 17 months in office. But, you know, very carefully crafting his words to suggest that that $46 million in land acquisition was during the last chain of the administration. It is not the case, Mr. Speaker. That goes a lot further than that. And we all know that land acquisition is necessary for various public development for the benefit of the country. But he also spoke, Mr. Speaker, of regards to the 6% rate that has to be repaid with regards to the value of the land. And maybe, Mr. Speaker, there's no bank that gives you 6% on your money now. Maybe the timing is right for us to also look at adjusting the interest that we pay. Because land acquisition will continue. It's something that we will have to continue to do as governments in terms of progressing, in terms of, you know, public development for public benefit. I also note, Mr. Speaker, that, you know, that the monies will be going to pay for changing our debt profile. And, Mr. Speaker, that's nothing different to what we were doing when we were doing it in government. We recognize that we have some expensive debts on our books, and we, you know, we're going ahead to changing them to longer debts to ensure that the country is not burdened with some. So there's nothing different in what is being done here today, Mr. Speaker. The difference is I, on this side, will not try the government for the borrowing, Mr. Speaker. But, Mr. Speaker, I want to take the opportunity because in all of that borrowing, so there's monies that have been allocated to various constituencies for various reasons, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, I, we were at a function last week, it was. And the former prime minister, member for view for itself, made a very particular point, Mr. Speaker, which caught my attention when he said that parliamentary representatives must be given the dignity that they deserve. And they must be given the respect that they deserve as parliamentary representatives because as he indicated, it's not the parliamentary representative that has been affected, but the people that they represent, Mr. Speaker. And, and, and he was very correct. And you know, Mr. Speaker, when I reflect on what he said, I remember this government in opposition, the six members opposite. One of the things they always said was you never, as a government, gave us a cent. That's a fact. They continue to say, no, you continue to say, as members of parliamentary representatives represented various constituencies, you all were never given a cent under the, under the stimulus, under the, what's the other one? The, the, the Taiwanese CDP. You said it. You said, Mr. Speaker. And the point is, Mr. Speaker, what the members opposite said at the time was, if, or when rather, because you're very confident they'll come into government, when they come into government, they will treat every parliamentary representative, as long as you're a parliamentary representative, they will treat you with the dignity that you deserve. They will treat you as a parliamentary representative, Mr. Speaker, and respect the fact that the people have voted for you, and you will get the necessary support, Mr. Speaker. And so, Mr. Speaker is, and as I indicated to colleague across the room this morning, as I indicated to colleague across the room this morning, if it was wrong, then it is still wrong. And I have said that on one location in this parliament. So, Mr. Speaker, when you look at the community of Chosal Saltibas, one of the largest second to Grosili, one of the second to Grosili, one of the largest constituencies in St. Lucia. Okay? And you would want, Mr. Speaker, to provide this constituency, you know, with an amount for Christmas stimulus, cleaning up the road, Mr. Speaker, and take it into consideration, the situation in the country right now, cost of living, everybody's looking for something, Mr. Speaker, everybody. And Mr. Speaker, you would provide me as a parliamentary representative for a certain amount, and you would maybe provide as the Honorable Member for Souffre indicated, you know, five times the amount to Souffre, Mr. Speaker. Now, Mr. Speaker, you cannot compare Chosal and Souffre as it relates to the size, the number of people who are affected, Mr. Speaker, you know? But as a point, I'm a member from Viewfort North. The point is, yes, I got, yes, I got, but the point is, you said you would trade differently. And, Mr. Speaker, when you want to provide funds to my opponent, to an individual who I soundly defeated in the last election, Mr. Speaker, to try to humiliate me, to try to embarrass me, Mr. Speaker, to create political point. That will not work, Mr. Speaker. That will not work. But at the end of the day, what is happening, Mr. Speaker? And I've told the Honorable Prime Minister that his role as a Prime Minister primarily should be to unite the people. Must be, Mr. Speaker. As the Prime Minister has his role, so what really should be happening? He should, and I think he has lost quite a few opportunities in doing that. And there's one, when the time comes, you know, I'll speak about it, Mr. Speaker. But the Prime Minister and the team got a resounding mandate, Mr. Speaker. And really and truly, you know, he should use that mandate to bring our people together. So, Mr. Speaker, I am not against the borrowing, because, as I said, it is necessary, budgetary support. 20 years, the terms and conditions were very favorable, Mr. Speaker. But at the end of the day, my principle point that I'd like to leave here today, Mr. Speaker, is that we need to be very careful of what we preach to our people. We say one story when we're in opposition and when we're in government is another story, Mr. Speaker. And so, Mr. Speaker, I promise to remember that I would not have been very long today, but I suspect I have opened up for quite a few members to speak. And I thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity.

Welcome back, everyone, to theCUBE's live coverage of Microsoft Ignite here in Orlando, Florida. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, Stu Miniman. We're joined by Lynn Lucas. She is the CMO of Cohesity. Thanks so much for coming on the program, Lynn. Oh, just so excited to be here with you guys and host you in the Cohesity booth for the first time at Microsoft Ignite. It's been a lot of fun. There's a lot of buzz around here and it's fun to be right, to be your neighbor, exactly. Great. So today, there's been a lot of news, some new exciting announcements of integrations with Microsoft. I wonder if you can walk our viewers a little bit through what Cohesity announced today. Absolutely, so we have been partners with Microsoft for some time and today we announced extensions to our capabilities with Microsoft Azure and Office 365. So Cohesity now extends data protection and backup for Office 365, including granular recovery of mailboxes and granular search for discovery purposes. We also have extended our integration with the Azure data box and we also are increasing our DR capabilities for our customers with Azure. So we now have fail back from the Azure cloud for disaster recovery purposes. So just continuing to see tremendous growth, hundreds of Microsoft customers with Cohesity and these new capabilities are going to expand the possibilities for them. Yeah, Lynn, it's an interesting conversation these days because in our research and we've talked about this, data is at the center of everything and the challenge for customers is data is everywhere. You look here at the Microsoft show, well, I've got all my traditional stuff, I've got my SaaS stuff, my public cloud stuff, now Edge with like the data box things there. Microsoft plays across there and it sounds like Cohesity's playing in all of these areas too. Absolutely, and I thought Satchit did such a good job in the keynote yesterday of really laying out the imperative for digital transformation, data being at the heart of it, but also laying out one of the key challenges which he pointed out which is the data silos. And I think Cohesity is right smack in the center of that conversation because we've always been about consolidating secondary data silos. And our partnership with Microsoft really, I think reinforces what they've been talking about which is also a hybrid strategy that the bulk of customers that we talk to see that their data is going to be on-premise, it's going to be in the cloud and increasingly it's going to be at the edge. And we span all of those locations to create this one operating environment so that things like the new open data initiative I think will be much easier for customers because they won't be wondering, well, is my data all in one place to be operated on? So talk about the problem of the data silos because as you said, it's one of the biggest challenges that companies face today. They are data rich and yet this data's here and this data's here. Can you describe a little bit about what kind of problems this is for companies and why this matters? So I think it's just something folks are starting to really get a handle on. As I talk to individual folks here at the show, you'd be surprised at how many aren't even really sure maybe how many islands they have. So even mapping where is all my data I think is a capability that many organizations are still getting their arms around. And the challenge of course is that in today's world it's very expensive to move large data sets and so you want to bring compute to the data which is what hyperconvergence and cohesity is about. And when you look at the imperatives at the board level, the CEO level, they increasingly see that data becomes really the true competitive advantage for most organizations and yet if they can't operate or bring compute to that data and do something with it, they're really at a handicap. We call some of the newer companies they're kind of data centric or data natives, the Airbnb's, the maybe Netflix's of the world. Not everyone aspires to be them as well. Not everyone has the resources that those companies may have had or just a short period of time. Most organizations have the benefit of years of data. We want to level the playing field and allow them to become competitive with their data by providing that single foundation. Lynn, it's a big show here. They said 30,000 people in a really diverse ecosystem. What really surprised me is just the spectrum of customers that you have here. I mean, we know Microsoft has long history in like higher education. We spoke to one of your customers in a Brown University and of course the long history they have with Microsoft. What are some of the things that you're hearing from customers? Maybe what's different at this show than some of the other cloud and kind of younger shows that we might go to? This show's been around about almost 30 years now. Yeah, isn't it hate to give away our ages, but I think we've been doing this for a while, right? Microsoft has been part of the IT ecosystem in a major way and it's great to see the vibrancy here and how they're talking about AI and ML and moving forward with it. What strikes me here is that a lot of the organizations here are now really understanding the pragmatism of having a hybrid strategy of what makes sense in the cloud as well as what may continue to be on-prem for them. I think we compliment that well. I'm really excited too about the idea that we are going to be using machine learning to be doing a lot more that humans simply can't keep up with in terms of the data growth and then doing something productive with that. And I think that's a conversation that we're just tapping the surface of here at this show. Yeah, you said something that really resonated with me. We have people that have been in the industry a while. I look at your founder, Mohit. This isn't his first rodeo. He'd been looking at data back from a couple of generations of solutions and people are very excited machine learning, as you said. We used to talk about automation and intelligence around this environment. I lived in the storage industry for quite a while and we talked about it but it feels poor real when I talk to the architects and the people building this stuff. They are just so excited about what we will be able to do today that we talked about a decade or so ago but now really can make reality for customers. No, absolutely. And I think we have our own investment in that. Helios, which we announced just last month, provides that machine learning capability because what we hear from our customers is what they love is the ability to have simplicity because let's face it, IT environments continue to grow in complexity. They're looking for ways to subtract that complexity so they can apply their talents to solving the primary mission, as I call it, of their organization, whether that be public sector or private sector and doing that in a simpler way. Look, one of the great stories that one of our customers is talking about here is how Cohesity helped him with a standard thing that most IT organizations have, which is we're going to do a power shutdown and we've got to perform a DR failover and this particular organization, University of Pennsylvania, Annenberg, had a set of 12 websites which the professors and the students rely on and it was going to take them literally almost a month to try to move them and they didn't have that kind of time and with Cohesity with our DR capabilities, he was able to do that literally with a few clicks, kept the community of professors and students happy and didn't spend, more importantly, 20 days trying to rebuild websites for a standard IT event, right? That's the kind of real life story in terms of what IT gets back that they can then invest in other more important focus areas for their business.  We all need that. Satya Nadella is such a proponent of improving workplace productivity. Even 5%, he says, can make this big difference. Can you talk a little bit about how you view that workplace productivity at Cohesity and sort of your approach to giving people either time to concentrate on more value add for their companies or just their lives? So again, a super story that we have from another customer that is here at Microsoft and is an Azure customer and a Cohesity customer, HKS, one of the world's most respected architectural firms. Design AT&T Stadium. There's a new major pediatric hospital going into Dubai. They operate in 94 countries with remote designers and architects and because of their inefficient backup processes and archive processes, they literally were having their associates have to work weekends as well as losing time on their projects and time is money and they, you know, in some cases are penalized if they don't make certain dates. And so I think these are really pragmatic examples. On average here, polling some of the folks here, I've heard that they can get a day, a week back, sometimes for their administrator who now doesn't have to do repetitive manual tasks anymore. Yeah, one of the things we always love digging into is you talk about people's jobs and some of the new careers that are happening. We talked to one guest earlier this week, he said, if you're a customer and you learn Azure as what you're doing, like your resume is gold.  Cohesity, you're doing a bit of hiring also. Maybe you can talk about- We are. What are you seeing from customers and what are you looking for internally? Well, yeah, no, we have tremendous good fortune. We grew 300% in revenue year over year. We're hiring in our RTP offices in our San Jose in India around the globe. You know, we look for the best and the brightest, a lot of engineering talent, marketing talent as well, really across the board. But you know, I think to the point you just made for the IT folks that are here, looking forward as to how are you going to help your business with your data infrastructure or data flows throughout their organization is to me where some of the career movement is happening when you hear the talk about how important it is to so many aspects of the business. And what are the sort of challenges that you're having with hiring?  I mean, what's the candidate pool like? You know, so I think what's really interesting, we are a red hot, we have a lot of applicants. So I'd say in general, no, we're very blessed that way. I think though more businesses, including ours, are finding it's difficult to get, say those data scientists, right? Some of these also front-end or back-end developers, you know, it's not just the technical companies that are recruiting for that anymore. It's not just the cohesities and the Microsofts that are looking for that talent, but it's now also the Netflix's or, you know, the eBay's, et cetera, right? They are all looking for the type of talent that we are. And so in general, I think this bodes well for young people or folks really anywhere in their career watching about thinking about where the talent needs are, and there's a lot of activity and interest in people with those kinds of skills. Yeah, we'll just follow up on that. So Cohesity is a Silicon Valley-based company, but as you mentioned, you've got an RTP location. We've seen quite a lot of Silicon Valley-based companies that are starting to do a lot more hiring outside because it's, to be honest, really expensive to live in the valley these days. So any commentary on that dynamic? Well, you know, I think you're in Boston, not the lowest-cost market either in the country. Yeah, you know, I think with a lot of the technology that's out there, you know, people don't have to be co-located, and we certainly also look to develop and invest in other communities around the globe. So we're not looking solely in San Jose, but also in RTP. We've got headquarters in Europe, as well as, of course, in India. So we look for talent everywhere in my own personal team. You know, I have folks basically around the US as well as across parts of the globe because talent, in many cases, is what matters and where you are physically. You know, some of the great technology that's out there can help break down those barriers of time and distance. Finally, this conference, it's 30,000 people from 5,000 different companies around the world. What is going to be, I mean, we're only on day two, but what's been your big takeaway so far? What sort of the vibe you're getting here at McKnight? You know, the vibe has been one of energy, of excitement. I've talked to a lot of folks from around the globe. I've been actually pretty amazed at some of the people from different countries around the globe that are here, which is fantastic to see that draw in. And I feel like there's a general sense of excitement that technology and what Microsoft's doing can help solve some of the bigger challenges that are here in the world and for their own businesses. And we really look forward to Cohesity helping them lay that great data infrastructure foundation, consolidate their silos and help them build a foundation for doing more with their data. Great. Lynn Lucas, thank you so much for coming on theCUBE. It was great talking to you. Thank you. I'm Rebecca Knight for Stu Miniman. We will have more from Microsoft Ignite and theCUBE's live coverage coming up in just a little bit.


This trustee August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless, as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving, serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. The discussion about the petition to allow Pike County voters to potentially change the county's fiscal court seems far from over. At today's meeting of the Pike Fiscal Court, County Clerk Rhonda Taylor told the court that she has concerns about the legality and the validity of the petition turned in by the Political Action Committee, Pike Countyans Against Government Waste. She said the number of signatures to add a question to the ballot of whether voters want the court to be commissioner-based rather than magistrate-based was achieved by combining a petition conducted this year and one conducted and turned into county officials last year. That, she said, raises serious questions about the petition's legality. Now I'm not attorney. I don't see how it could be legal. But according to my legal counsel, he says that it is. Because the petition was not dated and that it hadn't actually been turned in because the deadline was missed. So therefore, they say that it can be added to the second set of petition. Assistant County Attorney John Doug Hayes told the court he was initially in favor of adding the measure to the ballot after the petition was turned in. He said during today's court meeting and after citing a past Attorney General's opinion that major problems exist. He also said County Attorney Howard Keith Hall said the measure should go to court. I think there are serious, serious legal issues. I agree with you. The County Attorney, earlier this morning, I'm talking about the County Attorney, not the Assistant County Attorney, Judge, has recommended based on what you have told the public and told this court that it would be put into court on a declaratory judgment action. And the rest of it, we can get some law clarified which will help you, me, and everybody else in the future. The Pike Fiscal Court took no action on the discussion and magistrates took little part in the discussion about the potential legal concerns. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.

I'll see you next time for the next break, bye-bye.


Hello, everyone. Grab your lunch. This is falling straight into the lunch hour here. Hopefully, I'll keep you occupied here. Well, you can grab your lunch and join us here. We're going to talk about the Dell OpenStack solution. Actually, we have a case study with University of Alabama. How many of you have heard of Ink Tank Cef? OK, the guys over there, as soon as you enter the expo hall on the right side, there's a booth. There are partners. I'm going to talk about a case study. Actually, we have published a white paper that just came out last week about an implementation we did at University of Alabama and how we addressed their storage needs for their researchers as part of this presentation. And you can grab the white paper shortly. So very quickly, a little bit about Dell. For those of you who may not know, Dell has been committed to OpenStack from day one. They've been actually the first OpenStack cloud solution provider out there. 2011, we had our first solution out in the market. We have a very deep partner ecosystem, Ink Tank Cef being one of the partners we have. We have our own deployment tool called Crowbar. So if you want to see the tool in action after this presentation, swing by our booth. There is a demo going on there. We can show you what it is. I'll give you a brief overview here. And then come by our booth to see more about what we're doing there. We have two gold foundation members on the board. So a lot of activity that Dell's doing with open source and OpenStack and the foundation. So we have a number of OpenStack solutions out in the market. I'm not going to go into the details of this. But as I said about Crowbar, effectively what it is is a deployment platform that gets you an OpenStack cluster running from a bare metal service into a running OpenStack cloud in a very short time. So you can use it to automate deployment. You can quickly provision bare metal servers, including things like BIOS and RAID configurations, setting up your DNS servers, your DHCP, all the stuff you need at the infrastructure level, whether it's networking, whether it's DNS services, or IPMI, or BIOS and RAID configurations. Crowbar automates all that for you. And then, of course, over time, as you upgrade your cloud, add more servers, how do you keep that in operations? So there's a DevOps model underlying Crowbar. And it's all open source. It's all developed in the open. There's a community around Crowbar. So you can accelerate your multi-node deployments with Crowbar. So feel free to come by the booth. There's a demo going on. We'll show you exactly how Crowbar works there. So the whole solution consists of the Dell Crowbar solution, which I just mentioned. We have Grizzly, already operational, out there as a product. It's supported on a number of Dell PowerEdge servers that we have specifically chosen or selected, because we think they are the best optimized platforms for OpenStack. You can see here, PowerEdge C8000s, the PowerEdge C6220, and the PowerEdge R series are all platforms that are perfectly suited for compute and storage in the OpenStack implementation. We also have what is called a Dell Multi-Cloud Manager. We heard a lot about hybrid clouds in the keynotes. And as you go talk to the community members, it's a hot topic. We have a technology called the Dell Multi-Cloud Manager, which allows you to basically connect to multiple clouds, whether they are private clouds or public clouds, and orchestrate between them. Effectively, what you have is a single panel, single pane or glass, if you will, that allows you to manage multiple clouds. So we have that. And Ink Tank's Ceph, I will go into a little more detail shortly. It's a storage solution at a very low cost. And then it's a complete solution. It has deployment guides and services implementation support associated with it. So we're going to talk about Ink Tank's Ceph today and the case study we have had at University of Alabama. So what is Ceph? So for those of you who don't know what Ceph is, if you compare it with traditional storage, as opposed to a single purpose block storage or a file storage solution, Ceph is multi-purpose. And we'll talk about what that is in a second. And it's unified. All the different purposes of storage are unified in one platform. It's not hardware-based, as traditional sans are. It's distributed software. So think of software-defined storage. It doesn't come from a single vendor. It is open source. It's developed in open source, runs on commodity hardware. There is no fixed limits to scale. It can potentially scale to unlimited number of servers, only limited to the number of servers you've got. So it's a very cloud way of looking at storage. And they've become very popular. Almost every customer I talk to, there's always stuff in the conversation. So why is it unified? Well, it combines three storage models in one unified model. So there's object storage, a.k.a. Swift, that you guys may be familiar with. So object storage is part of Ceph. It also has block storage as part of Ceph. And it also has a file system. So it's a three-in-one combined storage solution that works with OpenStack. And I'm not going to go into the details. You can come by the Ink Tank, both or come talk to us at Dell. But this is why we find it very compelling. This is why customers find it very compelling. Because almost every customer I talk to has an object storage requirement, has a block storage requirement, and a file storage requirement. And this is the only solution that's out there that I am aware of that is open source, that is low cost, that's scalable, that's software-based, and is able to do all these different storage models in one solution. This is why it's very compelling out. So how does Ceph work with OpenStack? Effectively, what Ceph is is an object storage solution. It's called RADOS, right? The Ceph storage cluster is based on objects. And they have got two interfaces. There is the Ceph object gateway, which allows you to access the objects within Ceph through the APIs. So you have both the Keystone API access to Ceph, as well as a Swift API access to Ceph. And that's the object piece. And if you're interested in the block portion of it, you can access it through the Cinder API. So we've already got Cinder drivers that are in the open that have been submitted to the OpenStack community. And it works with Glance and Nova as well. And there's something called a Ceph block device, RBD, which sits on top of RADOS, which gives you that block capability into OpenStack. So all of this is in OpenStack, integrated in OpenStack. And what we've done on top of this is the ability to actually deploy Ceph in a seamless manner using ProBar. So if you're deploying, let's say, two petabytes cluster with OpenStack, and you have like 30 servers, you have to deploy all the different components of Ceph. You have to deploy OpenStack. You have to make sure all of these pieces are connected in the proper way. And all that is done in an automated fashion by ProBar. So that's something that you can actually see at the booth. So let's talk about UAB. So this is all about an actual implementation at University of Alabama. So what problem was the university trying to solve? So University of Alabama has a very innovative program around data analytics. They do a lot of gene analysis, genomics, and things of that nature. And they had hundreds of researchers trying to get access to lots of storage for analysis. Unfortunately, the growing needs of the researchers were not met by the IT department in a compelling way. So what ended up happening was all these researchers were having data and laptops, and USB drives, and local servers. They also had HPC clusters, and there was data all over the place. It was very hard for them to manage the growth of that data. So in transferring these data sets between, effectively, they're using HPC, but they wanted to transfer this data between their HPC cluster and the local researchers working on it. And the whole thing became very difficult to manage. On top of that, they had issues with security and making sure that the data is not at risk, that somebody was just taking the data away. So these were all the issues that the university was trying to solve. And the way they solved the problem was through the cloud storage solution that included OpenStack, and Ink Tank Ceph, and it's all centralized. So think of it as centralized. Think of it as Amazon S3 and EBS. That's internal to their environment. So it's a fully flexible open source infrastructure. It's based on the Dell reference design. So it uses OpenStack, Crowbar, and Ceph. So Crowbar goes and installs the entire infrastructure. They had more than almost a half a petabyte of storage. And when they did the math, it turned out to be only about $0.41 per gigabyte, as opposed to a traditional SAN. They looked at a lot of different technologies. They looked at traditional SANs. They looked at HDFC. They looked at Hadoop. None of those solutions actually matched what they were looking for, and the costs that they were willing to pay for. And this was a perfect solution for them. It was distributed scale. They're looking to go from half a petabyte to five petabytes in the next year. And that's massive scale. And if they looked at the cost, it was just mind boggling. And the biggest thing was data migration between the different clusters. So they had the Ceph data cluster. They had the HPC data cluster. How do you move data back and forth in an easy way so that they don't have to worry about security and risk and all of those things? And at the end of that, they also wanted to extend the framework and be able to manage it easily. So this one solution gave them everything they needed. It solved all their challenges from a data storage standpoint. And going forward, the research cloud is going to be much bigger. So they're looking to go to five petabytes. They're looking for virtual servers and virtual storage to meet their HPC nodes. And they're also looking for self-service. So at the end of the day, the researchers go to the cloud, ask for whatever number of compute nodes that they need or storage nodes that they need, and rapidly set it up and scale up and scale down. The usual cloud-type services. And they're able to get all that with this solution. So this is how their architecture looks like. So all the stuff you see up there are OpenStack nodes. They have two HPC clusters. And the HPC storage is where the self-cluster sits. They were looking for 10 gigabit network interface between the two so they can move data back and forth. All the researchers take their data, put it here, send it to the HPC cluster, do the analysis, and then bring it back to the HPC cluster for later consumption. So this worked out perfectly for them because it solved a number of problems in one shot. So they had virtualized servers, virtualized storage, a high-speed network access, high-speed network access to the storage from their HPC clusters. So it all worked out very nicely. So for more information, come by the booth. We are doing a crowbar deployment out there. There is a UAB white paper that just got published. The customer has actually given us great comments and quotes about the actual deployment. Feel free to contact me at those contact information. We also have a couple of other panels going on. Tomorrow, we have a customer panel. We're talking about how customers are using Dell services and support. And there's a panel on application portability all tomorrow in the morning and afternoon. So if you have any questions, feel free to catch me or come to the Dell booth. Thank you very much.
