searching for Sugarman. Well, I pretty much set it up the other day when I was talking about that movie Danny Collins. This is more, you know, miracles are involuntary. So this whole movie is just showing that the wonder of how a miracle can spread and reach people we have never met and never even conceived of as Jesus says in the Course. So it's just one of these movies based on an actual story that's so fascinating. So a whole lot of them just enjoy. This is one of our, really enjoy this one. Yeah, that's quite amazing especially with that when you look at that Danny Collins movie too, how he got that letter from John Lennon. But this was almost like more the essence that so much wants to just be used and expressed but out any of the trappings of fame or anything that the world has to offer. That time when I got those two movies, you know, the game and then the man who knew too little and it was just striking the contrast in the game, you know, Michael Douglas's character is just fighting, fighting, fighting. The two movies are so similar in their basic setups but the other one, Bill Murray, is just so lighthearted and this was like, you can just see it, the Sugarman, he didn't really, he just expressed and let the poetry pour through him. I think you'd probably find the same if you went back to like, Rumi is really popular now but if you went back to the days of Rumi in his life, he just was expressing, just was very similar, like very poetic and very profound.   Demolition, you know, he was demolishing the ego in his simple ways of his construction jobs and those kind of things but he wasn't, there wasn't any kind of motive to make something happen and then the spirit just brought everything around, you know, it was kind of magical, miraculous, the way that everything kind of just, people were so touched they just wanted to stand there and scream even before he played, you know, they just want to pour their hearts out. I think that's, that is the the telltale sign of the miracle because I know when I would go around from place to place to place, first just reading the course, practicing the course and then just starting to accept invitations, I used to feel like, wow, this is the greatest job in the world. Everything opens up, people, their faces light up when you walk in, you've never met them, they've maybe read something on the internet or they've heard something like when I first went to Columbia, you know, it's like, I first went to Columbia, it was a sugarman kind of moment because it's like, it was all these hurricanes hitting Florida and my translator Susanna Ortiz, who's quite a popular Course in Miracles teacher nowadays online, but she came over from Canary Islands and I met her in the airport and the airports were packed because a lot of people from Latin America were trying to get out, to go back to Latin America because I think like three or four hurricanes had pounded Florida in that particular day and and we got on the plane and as soon as the plane took off, we got up, they announced that they close the Miami International Airport, we were like one of the last planes to get out of there and the whole Miami airport was shut down, we landed in Cali, Columbia and we were in there going through getting our bags and everything and she was having some delays and so I said well I'll just go and I'll wait out front so she was being questioned and they had people with guns and dogs sniffing the bags and everything and they were sniffing her bags so I said so I walked out of the doors of the Cali, Columbia Airport and there was this whole gang of people and it was a standing ovation, they were all standing and cheering and she was inside thinking what is going on out there and I saw all these people and they were all cheering and jumping up and down everything and I was looking and I thought maybe McCartney or somebody was thinking what is going on and as they were all doing that for me and then when they came out she walked out and they all rode for her and she was just like this was totally we were more like the sisters you know like maybe there'll be 20 people and people at the airport and then there were groupies and it was just the whole teachings had been translated into Spanish but it's the sign of the miracle it was just so heartfelt the spirit going before you and it was very very surreal going down like with him he'd never been to South Africa I'd never been to Cali, Columbia walking in there but but it's the spirit going before us and it's just great to think of it that's what all of this inner work that we're doing is it is going to have a it is having and will have a great tremendous splash and reverberation and reflection way beyond what we can see and way beyond what he could see but what a movie to show but he stepped out there wow and imagine walking into the first time where these these guys grew up playing and playing his music over and over and over wondering if they're you know that he was dead you can see how the ego fills in when it can't figure it out it just fills in he shot himself in the head he burned himself off it just gives the most horrendous thing and it had nothing to do with anything and then he shows up and they're right in the middle of a song and they just stop and he just they just stop saying he starts right in they're just almost like it's just like oh my god what is this it's yeah what a great movie yeah i love how he was so direct with his like with that message like what was coming like through like you can feel that it was absolutely unfiltered that he like he just he was coming out the way it's coming out and then it seemingly wasn't like popular in the state but yet it reached exactly for exactly for who it was in South Africa and then heard just that message of like it's okay encouraging it like the content of it just exactly as it is yeah and that's like again it's just so very deep it's just with this like non-compromising glaring just like staying with that glaring and then not even trying to look is it good is it accept accepted it's just yeah like whatever truly you know yeah and the presence to that because it seems like i mean i love it when the interviews were trying to ask and trying to figure the whole thing out and they just could not figure it out from him and and when you see his face and you hear the feel the presence coming you don't get the sense that he thought that he had a hard life and you don't get the sense that that when they were trying to say oh don't you feel terrible almost like the hypothetical where you could have had this amazing life and and this this movie is from some years ago i remember i remember the first i think i was out here when we got here in uh utah when we first saw it and i think i googled rodriguez and um he was here and saw late city playing a concert and i was just like because it was you see how it brought it brought it home and he that was all the movie you know he went back there and played these concerts and everything and then he goes it kind of gives you the impression everything but when searching for sugar man came out that just brought it all out and all the people became aware of that and i think could feel the thing so there he was i think he was over at some i don't know if was uh somewhere over in temple square or wherever they i've been to some concerts over there myself but he was there he was i was like looking on everyone my gosh he's he's right there in south like city so it it you know it was able to as soon as the timing was right he was able to it wasn't that it was not there wasn't a rightness for it in the united states it was just the timing because the movie the way they did the movie and it came out that just just stirred up a whole new thing almost like the parallel like it's a quantum movie and there is different quantum effects and there was he was so easy going from his life in detroit down there even the his children people to travel with and they couldn't believe they thought he would be overwhelmed or astonished you know to not be playing these tiny little dives and you know misty smoky bars to thousands and tens of thousands of people yeah and it and even for people in our ministry that think about doing touring and speaking in public speaking and speaking in front of crowds you know you this is this movie is the Holy Spirit's answer like oh please jesus is saying please don't is that i'm the one who's going to do it anyway so why are you concerned about how many people are listening or or how many people are at the event because it doesn't have anything to do with with people the presence when he walked on that stage yeah people felt the love that came out of 2012 at Sundance and it was the hate of it everybody's walking around going did you see sugar man and then they'd say oh what's about they could no no no just go see it like everyone was just electric but refusing again to say what was about you just have to go see it like this vibe it was electric the place is electric with it yeah yeah i kind of bet the sense he was being protected because if he would have gone during a part eight he would have been the symbol that they'd all try to attack yeah oh yeah just the music went but this mysterious they didn't have anybody to shut down scratching the records and doing all their things but the spirit was at work behind all of it oh my gosh yeah yeah yeah that's interesting that that gives me when you said happy dream because i'm that's the first kind of retreat i have scheduled for next year after after a pause here in the winter is in around the 9th or 10th of february is a happy dream retreat right out there in ellie pacific pal say hollywood and i was thinking huh i could show that could show that out there i could show searching for sugar man and use that as the the teaching device because you know the pictures worth a thousand words and a movie like this it's just it's absolutely spectacular teaching device especially in the contrast of hollywood and the people i'm presenting with are my friends maria philippe and and um bridgett are both like models and and so it's this whole thing of being in front of the camera and all the focus on glamour and the body and everything and they're very good course america's teachers but a movie like this too is such a you know it's just it's so deep it makes you just pause and breathe in and go whoa that this should be last yeah yeah all of it's like foreign like rich in spirit i think that's the thing because a lot of a lot of course and miracles teachers i think if you even go through the course teachers you know a lot of them like marianne and everything who who had a huge role in introducing it and oprah played a part of that and this and this and this but i remember sitting with having dinner with judy sketch and we're telling that story that about how many people is the course four and when she asked how and how many books to publish how and said four and she said 40 000 four four four thousand four like four you know it was judy couldn't process the answer and how and did share at one point that that for the entire first generation of people that work with the course the entire first generation of what we would call a lifetime of maybe 70 or 80 years that for that first generation that the course was four a number of people that you could count on both hands in the entire first generation that's how many people would experience of course the miracles yeah it's really that's what this message was kind of movies showing too that that that jesus says this course will be believed entirely or not at all so and and ken had had said that to judy about um he said to judy you know we're plan b jesus says we're plan b and she says i don't like the sound of that plan b whether i mean all that we're doing with translating the course and publishing the course and disseminating the course and ken said yeah yep and teaching the course like ken was conceptually and lecturers and so forth he said yeah we're all plan b he said there the plan a is living it and there there was a vision that helen had of of a group of people that would actually live the course and she saw it kind of as a vision as like a place in greece and so on and so forth and and he said yeah that's plan a plan a is living it and so everything that we do it like our community call today was really getting down to the core of wow this is all just a backdrop for going into an experience it's all the things and the people and the writings and the translations and the transmissions and everything that may even seem important in the course of a lifetime you know is that's still the backdrop it's actually just about an experience and really nothing more it's a tweak in the mind it's this little tiny little tweak from from ego over to spirit and all of everything else that seems to be so blown up and important has no validity no reality whatsoever you could really see it in this movie he he was just he was integrous he he went along you could see when they first found him you know he just had this look on his face like you know trying to get say the hypothetical wouldn't your whole life would be different if he's no no he wasn't buying it life would be different if circumstances had been different that's that's the great lie and it wasn't it didn't anything different no you could feel that in presence you know when when you go to a concert or you go to a satsang or teaching or a gathering and you feel that deep love and presence and it you know it doesn't really have anything to do with with the setting or the people or the the numbers of people or whatever it's almost like the ego has generated its own sense of a buzz like when people go to sports stadiums and fill up they they feel like a buzz like an electric bus of being a huge sports stadium and rooting for a team and doing the wave and doing all those kind of things that there's the ego is trying to reach something but but it's not really anything like that it's not the buzz you know and then you you see people who who go through all these tremendous sports feats right now for all this stuff much much younger watching the olympics and the was it the triathletes and all the different ones at bruce Jenner winning you know the gold all these gold medals and years later transgender and operations and all these projections of onto oh my how dare him you know turn into a woman and all this craziness and everything it just the the whole world is just a distorted lens of looking for meaning where there is none and then you see a movie like this and it's like oh the grace just comes through the ease comes through his songs just so simple very in fact his daughter use it how's he live now very very very very simple life just the basics yeah i remember when i look around this room i remember one day lisa and i went out to furnish this entire wing of the peacehouse in one afternoon and we took off and we walked into this store and we'll say we'll take these kind of chairs we'll take seven of those and we'll take these and we're just walking through going through and having a ball pointing pointing pointing pointing at the end they were given had a special running where they were giving away movies dvds and they had all these different movies there and i said oh how many movies we get it was like something like well you bought so much you get like 17 dvds movies as a gift i'll take it i said i'll take 17 of the same movie this one they're like what what do you want with 17 of the same movie this time traveler's life i said it's oh this one's so good i have to give this away to all my friends but i remember it got to be so late that we got back to the house we pulled up out front there you know about 11 o'clock and some people had we've gone to bed or whatever we came in okay let's go we're gonna empty that we got stuff to move in it was like 11 o'clock at night and then uh yeah it was so sweet and he just had such a reaction when we brought these in he said can you people lost your mind what are you doing but it was all it all was quick and here we are years later when was that i don't even know what you're we're we're still using these chairs having all these calls watching our movies but it just seemed you know like surreal getting these poofy kind of movie chairs and it's like what are you this is jesus having fun i mean he knows exactly what's coming and and what's helpful and necessary but it just doesn't fit into any boxes just amazing i think eric is like our he's our sugar man he's he's channeled the spirit and all of his songs and even this the content is not that that different from it you know about trying to overcome the darkness and some remote part of the universe there's this huge you've got an alternative so it's right just you're playing the four like massive crowds it bigger than the Beatles bigger than anything and they're all just like tonight it's not it's like share they don't have your like archbold it's just eric they don't even need the archbold point tonight eric everybody's like they're getting there early enchanting then you come out and sing a piece of mine they all they all sing along they know every word because it's because it's all it resonates with it's it's all just like these parallel universes and it's so deep and it's so touching but you know it has to be in the context of where the jesus always prefaced everything he said with for those who have the ears to hear let them hear it was like he was speaking for all eternity he was speaking beyond time he was speaking in for all the universes you know on a stage for all the universes of transcendence of this whole cosmos and so it's just kind of interesting it's like eric in this particular room eric's music is virtually unknown and donald trump is president of the united states and and we are that's kind of fun that we're here we've found each other and we're in we we're in wacky land i mean we we have seemingly manifested in in total wacky land where we resonate we oh oh we listen to eric's music like sugarman over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and then we turn on the tv and he goes pinch me what where am i we're a billionaire billionaire with vulgar language and all kinds of things and totally outrageous is the president of the united states and and eric's music is unknown like what where will we land it what is this what is this strange strange strange place but yet we're having we we're like sugarman we're having fun because we're we don't have to try to fit into this strange place we don't even really have to try to relate to it actually because it's all coming from our hearts it's it's moving through us and but there's no reference point you know to it where jesus says that this world is backwards and upside down so i guess what would you expect from seeming to find yourself in an impossible situation i remember that time early on when christin we were talking and you were just reading the you sometimes you read the course and you'd get your eyes get real big and come over and he says it's an impossible situation this world is an impossible situation i'm just like and that imagine finding yourself in an impossible situation and then a little bit like like alice and wonderland like going down the rabbit hole and then finding yourself in a very very strange world where everything was distorted and being completely disoriented and yet having having a journey to make were you know in the wizard of us you know dorthy leaving kansas and going to a very different world than kansas with munchkins and flying monkeys and a witch with green face and a big nose i remember when we were kids we just were like we were just horrified it was tough to go to sleep at night after hearing leave the light on you know we would just be just shocking portrayals of fear like how do you show this movie to children damaging us for life you know and anything like this but but yet we made it through we did make it through and it was a dorthy it was like that was going to be the story of our life we would we would find ourselves in a very strange land very disoriented wanting to go home and happy to be meeting some people along the way that would journey with us on that journey finally right right even if his straw is falling out and the characters the lion is so afraid that tail is going around it takes courage courage you know he needs courage because he's a fearful lion and the tin man who was so closed up with his emotions and everything and he just would he would just freeze up a scarecrow with all this straw thrown out all over the road it's very descriptive of the human condition and dorthy and it's interesting when when i was down in australia i guess some of you got to hear the mudgy one of the one of the events sings somewhere over the rainbow did you get this that was amazing sounded like her it sounded it's funny that story's been with us ever since we were children yeah story of awakening yeah you had it all along yeah it manifested for us you know it's you can really see that no matter how thick the ego's fog has been and it took 2000 years for Jesus to get the course into this realm after he appeared 2000 years ago but but actually when you start to listen to the music and what i look at the movies the signs and symbols are all around us you know you really can't miss it like it's even though the ego's fog has been thick the light is just streaming through and it's not very subtle it's actually pretty you really look at all of it you that's what the movie watchers guide your life when you bring it all together if we do this music lovers guide your life or we bring it all together it's going to be overwhelming i think for anyone who just gives themselves over to it and starts to see all the connections all the dots connected like wow it's there all along we were being serenaded we were being taken to the movies we didn't even fully understand it at the time but now it starts to be amazingly clear it reminds me a bit of rules for decision too where Jesus does say at one point it's it's he's got his first two of rules for decision decide the kind of day you want and say to yourself if i make no decisions by myself this is the day that will be given me and then he does bring in that it's easier to have a happy day if you really if you really stay with the first two it's when you slip off that it's harder to get back and that's what that danny collins movie you know it's like he danny collins has gone down and he's been tempted by the ego and he's he's got himself into drugs and oblivion he's just his living situation his whole life he's totally disconnected and out of touch and he's gone down and he's he's needing all all seven rules of decision even though we've been told it's gonna it's harder to get back and he he's certainly that's what the movie was he was he was following the signs reconnecting with his son you know facing the things he had to face and and having maybe that one relapse but that's kind of a take heart movie like don't give up you can always turn it around but this movie is like showing the precious jewel of if you can if you can just come into your function then you're there and you don't have to come back you don't have to wish that the circumstances of the world will change that will get better politicians or will save the mother earth and save the environment and will save this and save that oh that's just a distraction from accepting the the function he Jesus even has a work request and my happiness and my function are one he says they're actually identical your happiness is your function it's nothing to do with circumstances and that's really what that movie we just watched shows that he was the same regardless of the circumstances you could see it on his face he was unaffected he was he was happy and delighted and he did have that home feeling but I didn't get the sense that he was discontent in Detroit at all you know it wasn't like he was had to go make some voyage and go to a place to find his long lost you know family or whatever was like he had it all along and that that's quite a teaching I think that's part of that shift too where we're going from years of exposing and meshing of teeth and all this darkness coming up and people screaming and shouting and throwing stuff and it was craziness when people try to go for God and live in community then it's like the insanity shows it so and and it's kind of like Jesus is kind of well yeah that was all you know it don't judge any of it but now I have something for you I we're going for we're going for the higher experience of actual forgiveness now that was the preliminaries was clearing like now this is it this is what I need you for and with the same precision like in the Bourne movies you know like yeah do this do only that like you were emphasizing that's the most direct path is do only that it's it's when an eastern journey is is pretty much netting netting not this not that it's a lot of elimination and then Jesus's path is do only that and I will direct you I will guide you this is the shortcut this is the fast track don't even be tempted to go back to netting netting and and he does say in the course that you you know can God be reached directly and can you go right to truth it is a a sense of it's not necessary to seek for the truth but it is necessary to seek for the everything that is false which is kind of the netting netting peeling thing but but he's really calling us into a function saying if you have the ears to hear this then we can save thousands of years for everyone if you just link up with me like hold on to me remember when the very first big big-time production of Superman came out with Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeves and they're up and they're talking on the top of the skyscraper building and he's he kind of takes her and he he he grabs her and holds her and takes her out he doesn't like fly off he just kind of goes steps out into the air and she's oh oh they're just up in the air he's not like fine he's just holding her and he's oh oh he's she says uh he says don't worry I've got you and she says who's got you that's the famous black like who's got you but that's the whole thing it's like Jesus is gently saying I've got you I've got you become don't worry this is a this is a done deal I've got you and yet the mind when it's frightened is but who's got you and Jesus like God's got me that's why I'm so calm God's got me I've got you you've got no worries can you just trust that you're held you know you don't we don't have to question who's got you you know yeah how beautiful just the trust that demonstration of Rodriguez the ego had no power over him like he gave his faith was not in the world and when he was asked about the that hypothetical question he said well the music industry like he literally said I don't have any expectations of it you never know what's going to happen with it it was powerful like his faith was not in the world and so it couldn't let him down and so we ever played out even though he seemed to be ripped off you know the money regards to him it's not his concern what plays out in the ego's world was not his concern at all he was just doing his part that was given of the spirit just to stay with his with himself yeah his inspiration where is tuxedo to his demolition job and just be a shining light yeah yeah you can see that you can see that with him and the daughter had just a little bit of like somebody made money and the thing was so beautiful was even Clarence who Clarence made a lot of money and this was easy money this wasn't managing and doing all the hassles but I think Clarence had easy money and he got a little flustered there but the beautiful thing was when he started off they just mentioned the name Rodriguez and he's like yeah he's my man and and even for Clarence I think he felt a deep connection with Rodriguez he felt the deep meaning in the lyrics like how and he was almost like he was a symbol of beyond the music industry there is a power and so even for Clarence who made all his money he adored Rodriguez he wasn't thinking I'm ripping off he just didn't question the money was coming in big time it was rolling and rolling in and all these other stars that he worked with and everything he he had the same thing but through contracts and they were out working hard and performing and then there's this mystery Rodriguez money that just keeps showing up from South Africa but I could just feel the grace in all of it how Jesus is behind everything he doesn't perceive that it's possible for someone to be taken advantage of at all beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated you know because you're trying to to make something that's not even there you're just you're just binding yourself into illusions and so that was all perfect too you know everything was perfect his attitude was the demonstration it you know it's not like one of those kind of stories where somebody's been done wrong and then at the end there's the big formula in the end where Rodriguez gets the mansion he always deserved and the payback of all the funds that were stolen from him that's the world's formula for a happy ending this is a happiness beyond beginnings and endings there there was no need for that and with all this going on right now those protests you know up in Dakota North Dakota and all around the world people fighting for minorities fighting for women's rights fighting for the rights of the native aborigine and all this fighting over the rights thing I remember there was one point where I was kind of asking Jesus about you know the constitution of the United States of these inalienable rights that we were given God given inalienable rights and and that all men are created equal and he said no you actually have no rights in this world you know that who you are stands like a shining star in eternity and that's your birthright that's your only right is your birthright that God created you perfect that's your right you have no human rights there's never been human rights violations there's never been a single human rights violation why because humans don't have any rights their constructs their bodies the ego projected the body and it projected the private minds and private thoughts it projected the rights and all the civil disobedience and all the things that Gandhi was going for and Martin Luther King and all of our heroes that Marianne loved so much and was in this nada who don't even have any reality because because God creates a spirit and only spirit is real and everything else has never happened and so that's what we're coming into that's the the peace of God I grew up you know in 10 years of university I went to all the different classes and of course I you know I lived in the decade right after the 60s so I started looking into things like social justice and all those kind of social justice issues and everything and Jesus has a section in the course that really gives addresses that and the name of this section is the justice of heaven and in that that section Jesus comes out and says there is no justice in this world oh my god he's just wiped out the entire history of the world wiped out social justice marches for peace all the demonstrations all the things that are going on now where the shooting water hoses on people in sub zero temperatures up in North Dakota and for a pipeline to come and pump oil down all these things our friend Shailene Woodley is up there with red on her face and all wrapped up in this and this all of it goes in forgiveness when you just have one instant of realizing accepting what Jesus says that there is no justice in this world and even titles it the justice of heaven that heaven awaits for you heaven is your right heaven is your birthright heaven is your inheritance and heaven is spirit and nothing but that is any reality whatsoever that's amazing somebody had come up to Mother Teresa and said there is no such thing as justice in this world there's no different between the rich or the poor she might have peed in her pants because but that's the message of Jesus you know that is literally where her heart was and her heart was heading she she wanted to see the face of Christ in everyone that she pulled off the street and everyone she met and by golly that's it that all it takes is a recognition in the mind of of what's real and true which the Holy Spirit provides and also what's false so that you don't invest your time and energy trying to to heal what isn't real you cannot heal what isn't real you can't heal the body you can't heal interpersonal relationships you can't heal the planet you don't have to heal the environment you don't have to worry about animal populations that are going extinct because they can't go extinct they never they never were created in the first place how can they go it's extinct you know you see there's no cause that is worthy of your mind except atonement except correction he's talking to someone the other day and they were saying yes it's it's amazing we have the power to create and we have the power to destroy no actually we don't have the power to destroy even those teachings that go higher and higher than say well it's your choice you can you can be an agent of love or an agent of fear well actually in the end you have to start to realize that that is no choice at all it never could have been a choice that was sponsored by God because God doesn't even know of choice but to come to that place of right-mindedness where you see that my gosh there never was a mistake there never was a mistake that's what the healing is is that's what the healing is is is coming back in touch with that the truth not nothing in terms of form like that's is it true is it true is it true on amazon that's my favorite because you pointed out that the titles of gary's books like are a series of like steps just three simple steps after the disappearance comes your immortal reality yeah yeah and i thought i didn't even realize that i loved gary's book yeah just the titles for someone who doesn't even crack the book i like you cannot heal what is not real i'm sorry if you ever pick that one up real quick things just freeze the mind of me initially it was because i studied being rigged as a hacker like just right now it's a spiritual like it was all online so some of my roommate was getting upset that i didn't vote she's like you don't care about social issues you don't care about i'm like i don't know how to explain it she's spiritual so she's always duality and things i'm like i honestly don't think i can explain it i had the hardest time trying to simultaneously remember the principles of the course and realize that she simply couldn't understand it and i almost felt that i did feel that because that's like no one just tells the one you can't understand me it's like saying you're too stupid but it's like that's not what i'm saying like literally you need years of training your mind but yeah it was interesting now you've got a line cannot heal what is not real yeah it's good to think that there are no right or wrongs in the world at all and and i like that line in the course where jesus is what you do comes from what you think so if you just allow your mind to soar up into the the right-mindedness which is right-minded thinking thinking with god then the whole idea of voting becomes impossible it's kind of like that movie what the bleep do we know down the rabbit hole where they they're talking to this physicist and he says something and what is it what is the question is what is the status the marital status of the number five i think that's what voting is it's it's trying to make sense of what is the marital status of the number five and then the physicist goes the number five doesn't have a marital status and when we look at the human construct once you accept the personality the person is real you've just accepted a contradiction beyond measure that that suddenly you know if spirit is all that there is the person with a private mind private thoughts and choice personal choice which is essential to elections or all these assumptions that come in and so to the angels voting is hilarious it's absolutely hilarious because they know that you can't vote that's what the big joke is there did you hear about the election they go they don't even have to hear about who won or lost they laugh at the thought of an election because that's all fabricated choice there is no choice in oneness there is no choice in heaven but choice itself is is a fabrication but then jesus will take that fabrication and say actually that's how we're going to get back that's why he's got right mind and wrong mind throughout the whole book he's taking it off the form of trump versus hillary or whatever to right mind wrong mind so he's saying oh we must work with what you believe you believe in duality so now even one of his course workbook lessons is heaven is the decision that i must make heaven is not really a decision the angels laugh at that one too you know because they know it's just a state of mind it's not a decision but for the mind that's asleep and dreaming and believes in duality heaven is the decision that i must make you see how he's very clear he's a ton of man is the needle in the haystack and he's saying we're going to find this together and and you surely will and then you'll wake up from the dream so i think that's what i think deanna and susan did in their election thing was more about bringing chasing it back to let's look where decision really is and put your mind's energy on on the right mind wrong mind on that discernment is a good use of your mind's energy and debating if you're going to vote for hypothetical this hypothetical trump or hypothetical hillary and all the arguments and justifications and everything they are all part of a defense actually against the acceptance of what is and there will come a point where if somebody comes to you and they just have an open mind and they and they go steve i just don't i don't get this like why don't you vote i don't i don't get it i want to understand and then the words will be given just like you notice great teachers like buyer and katie they don't back down from questions they she will come back with is it so and what what do you believe well somebody may say well i believe hillary's the better candidate and these are my reasons or i believe i'm a vegetarian for these reasons or i believe whatever they say they believe and then the great teacher will come and just say oh okay thank you for sharing that is it so let's really look closely and deeply and that's what i did with the early students in the early 1990s we would come around like we're do here and everybody would say what's on their heart and this is what's troubling me this is what's bothering me i'm struggling with this i'm challenged with that good let's start with that and then is it so is that really so i mean we would spend hours going into one topic or one issue with somebody had a real a real charge or a real burning passion like i need to know but this is really bothering me and so everybody in the whole group would we would all go into it together let's you know whether it was with ronda had children and concern over health issues with the children or i know it was concerned with we had children in the community back then but it was on which tv shows to watch and her husband did not study the course tom and he would say he would kind of hear bits and pieces of the course and so he would say to his wife they can watch whatever they want because it doesn't matter don't you know don't you listen to david in the course he'd go lesson number one ronda nothing i see means anything and they would sit sometimes in front of really violent things and sit mesmerized watching the things these violent cartoons or violent shows and everything and she said something intuitively me in me does not feel that that's the best thing for our children to sit there like like marshmallows glued to a tv watching anything and you're quoting lesson number one from the course is not sitting well with me and i do not feel that's the best for them and i want to explore this with david so we would spend hours taking it into the mind what are all the beliefs she was stirred up and he was a bit uncomfortable he wanted to have a quick answer like let them watch whatever they want it's just an illusion and come on lesson one nothing i see means anything but it didn't wasn't sitting with her she didn't intuitively feel that was the thing so we would work it in work it in work it in to the point where i used the whole situation as a way to foster them to start to talk more openly and directly about what they were feeling and what they were thinking what they were believing to get in touch authentically with what it is they were believing and that's where the healing comes in in the end people have to be given the permission to start this it doesn't feel right this feels awkward he was not really in touch with his feelings but he he was he was a bit overwhelmed i think with the children and and he had his job and his career and and parenting on top of everything was a bit too much so it was like just let them watch whatever they want you know and a kind of a push away and she was intuitively feeling wasn't right so that's that's the whole point as we go into these things to make it to the point where you just are so in tune with spirit that if there's anything to answer and if someone's truly asking if they really have it's really the sincere question they have to really come with i don't get it steve and and you're getting in touch with what it is too which is important yeah a slight slight defensiveness will do will block the holy spirit from coming okay looks like it's bedtime so beautiful thank you curl up thank you that was fun thank you over the holidays we'll stay open to the movies that one just point was as soon as i watched dandy columns that was just like i kept searching there's something in there searching for such searching for sugarman oh yeah oh yeah now i've got an idea i'll have to see if i get a slot for a movie at that happy dream retreat that would be great movie in fact i'm supposed to show a movie here in utah at the easter retreat so i have to really see what what is going to be the most impactful on resurrection is the easter retreat what what's the most helpful the most impactful movie to show at an easter retreat because they've got me slotted not to speak at all but to do a saturday night movie gathering over it so large bring it home we'll talk about time's end and after yeah after that retreat at susan said our going deeper retreat at the monastery is catching fire filling up so that'll be a good team effort to let the people descend on our monastery with a title going deeper hmm after resurrection easter sunday going deeper what could that be good night christin um you know we have to come up with a humdinger of a movie thank you all that's been a great thanksgiving

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Thank you very much. You're staying here to attend the session. I know that after three days long, four-day presentation, everybody exhausted is kind of the torture. And thank you. Give me a chance to torture you. Thank you. So my topic is building communication apps on OpenStack Cloud architecture. My name is Liang Li. I'm from TeleStacks. ResCom, we are talking about ResCom. ResCom is an open source project based on MobileSense, which has grown over the last 10 years. And now MobileSense is readily deployed as a software, as a service. ResCom supplies a rest for API access to powerful capability and communication capability of the communication platform. So web developers can build the communication application through the rest for API. And without leaving their comfortable programming environment, for example, PHP, Java, Python, .NET, Ruby. And MobileSense is a most popular telecom open source community, which has been contributed by many industry key players, including Huawei, Avaya, Cisco, Tulio, Orange, Red Hat. And based on MobileSense, TeleStacks supply a full portfolio of communication platform to facilitate building the value add service application. From this chart, we can see that TeleStacks communication platform, including a lot of components, including media server, JinSleece container, CIP server-led container, USSD Gateway, short message center, data meter, et cetera. Above all of the components is ResCom. Now let's talk about ResCom. ResCom is a real-time cloud communication platform for web developers to build and skill voice web RTC, voice fax, video, and the message apps for web RTC, CIP, and the PST networks. You can deploy your own Tilo or Tropor in a box in no time. ResCom supply a telecom API, network API, to web developers, which is very easy to use. And the API is totally compatible with Tilo API. So it's very easy for web developers to integrate the communication capability into their application. The communication features is provided by the MobileSense platform. And ResCom can be very easy deployed in public, private, and hybrid cloud environment. Actually, we have launched the AMI, ResCom AMI, on the AMOZOMax place. You can try it out very easily and quickly. For private cloud, we have the success story deploying the ResCom on the open stack. We can talk it later. And also, the ResCom features a plug-up for architecture. You can choose SP service provider of your choice. Use the service provider of your choice to send a sort message, convert VYP to legacy, and use your text to speech vendors. This is a screenshot of ResCom VYP innovation for web recognition on the marketplace of the AMOZOM. We know that developing application in telecom world is a very hard job. It's challenging. We must have the developer who dedicated to expertise, who understands the low-end protocol. For example, SMPP, USSD, SAP, RTB. But web developers has been accustomed to simplicity. So ResCom is a bridge between the two worlds. Through the ResCom, the web developers can build the communication capability into the web application very easily. They can just call the ResCom and command the ResCom to handle the complexity of the telecom. Of course, the telecom operator also can leverage the ResCom as a platform to build the value-added service quickly and efficiently. OK, we see some examples. If your application wants to send a short message to a number, and it can just make a very simple XML call to the ResCom, and the ResCom will handle the SMPP protocol or MAP protocol to deliver the short message. This example of XML, we can see it's pretty easy. You just use the SMS tag to command the ResCom to send the short message. And if there is an incoming call to the ResCom platform, for that incoming call, for the given number, the ResCom will ask your application how to handle that call. And the application can easily use the very simple XML to command the ResCom, put the call. ResCom put the call into the conference. We can see this is an example of how to handle this call. First, the application use the C tag to greeting the callers, and then use the dial and the conference to put the call into the conference. OK, we can see some ResCom features and use keys. First, you can use ResCom to handle the outbounding call. For example, create a predictive dialer, do the appointment reminder, click to call, call queuing for call center application. Also, you can build the IVR very easy. You can design the main phone manual call center, use text to speech to greeting the caller, and also prerecorded the fails. And also, you can build your own conference system on a fly. You can play on hold music. You can record a conference. You can beef on exit of a participant. It's all on java.php.net to call the ResCom to do it. And also, you can record the voice. We have the media server to help to record the entire call for later use. We can promote user to leave a voicemail. We can get the record fail whenever you want, or you're recording on specific DTMF recognition. For short message USD email, you can use ResCom to do the appointment reminder, deliver a follow-up, force, marketing campaign, grouping messaging. Of course, you can design UI, self-ported UI for users easy to configuration. Subscribers can manage their short message, voice recording, call logic, or something like that from UI. And also, we have the web artistic capability. You can realize the browser to browser to PST audio call. You can do the browser to browser video call. The screenshot on the screen, you can see that we can four people to hold a video call through the web RTC. Now we can see a success story of how they leverage the ResCom. Heresense is a US company. They enable caregivers to provide the right care at the right time in the preferred environment. The main target of them is improving observations through remote monitoring combined with analytics and accelerator action based on early improved observation and travel better outcome, reduced cost, and improved care. Heresense is a innovation leader in technology-enabled care solution. They are funded in 2001. They have 116 clients and a care room for more than 12,000 individuals. They recognize the market leader in technology-enabled care, combine real-time data with powerful analytics and a multi-modal communication. Heresense's technology solution is delivered through Heresense Advantage. It's a private cloud based on OpenStack. From this chart, we can see the people from their home or living apartment can send the data to the OpenStack platform. Of course, the data including the voice, the sensor data, and other things. And on the OpenStack, we deployed the ResCom solution, including the ResCom, including the CIP container, including the media server. And the OpenStack connect to the telecom operator through the CIP trunking. Let's see a scenario of Heresense Advantage. An alert based on a specific event. For example, Molly is an aged lady, already 74 years, lived in Illinois. And he has a history of dizzy spell. And Heresense installs sensors into Molly's home because he is far away from his parents. And they use Heresense technology to monitor his health. And in the morning, Molly get out of bed in the morning. And the neighborhood motion sensors detect the initial motion. Then no motion in apartment. And this alert is observed by Heresense Advantage and triggers the ResCom to have an alert call, send it to care staff at other place. And then they help Molly to her fate. Molly avoid hospitalization, loss of independence. And also Molly increased in toilet activity, perhaps two times normal use. And in the neighborhood, the toilet sensors monitor activity. And analytics identity is a problem. And then alert email by ResCom to caregivers with relevant data. And the care team then diagnosis early stage and can give him red treatment. Also, you can use Heresense also can do the automatic residence check-in, automatic phone question for disease management of chronic conditions. For example, the system can call four times every day to the older people. And let them to tell their environment by pushing the keyboard over the phone. Are you OK? Are you first comfortable? You can please one or two. And based on input, and as a doctor or the caregivers can call back to the age people to find the mode situation. And also the alert communication can be routed based on customized ResCom based call tree. You can design different call trees and use a different policy at different times based on different situation of the ages. OK? Now let's take a look, key study, key takeaway. Now we live in the API world and the economy. So we no need to reinvent the wheel. Just export your network assets today to the world like the telecom operator, the PST network, or internally for your team. So others can leverage your capability of the network easily. Also partner today and drive new source of revenue. Last but not the least, I will make a small adjustment. Between the 21st to 22nd in Bangkok, there will be a telecom application developed someday. And it's supported by Huawei, Ubuntu, OpenCloud, and the hope to get the telecom developers stay together to talk about the innovation of the telecom in the future. So this is our website. If you have any question, you can send me an email or access our website to get more information. Thank you very much for your time. OK.


Because we welcome in the CBO the Chief Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball former Yankee Manager Paula Famer Joe Torrey Good to have you with us. I'm speaking of old-school Vegas. I got a thing so a Zimmer in there. I Was thinking I looked at that I'm thinking you got to be like a Sinatra D Martin Rat Pack guy, right? Yeah, I loved them Are you kidding me? Yeah, very much so and I was fortunate enough to to see Sinatra many times and also Elvis Presley in here in Vegas many times, which was pretty cool All right, so let's talk news of the day or past day and a half You're part of the today's game era committee yesterday voting in Harold Baines and Lee Smith to Hall of Fame But George Steinbrenner did not get the necessary votes. Can you take us behind the thought process in that room? Well, it you know Everybody has an opinion and you know, we have I guess it was what 16 voters and It everybody pretty much has something to say about every one of the candidates and It's just something nice It's my first experience in a committee and I found it fascinating and you know You're in there for a long time And it doesn't even feel like it because you're you're talking about baseball and people who have been around baseball but I think it was more about that the two that got voted in and of course You know Lou Pinella came very close But Harold Baines, you know a lot of people just talked about his you know service and and and the type type of hitter he was and the clutch player he was and In regards to Lee Smith who close to 500 saves, which is pretty impressive in fact when he retired He he was leading everybody in saves And I guess that may have been passed to so it was one of those things and I don't and we don't know who People vote for we only know who we vote for and everything is very confidential and You know, I I felt pretty pretty comfortable in that room So I know a couple of years ago when you got in the Hall of Fame You actually said you felt that George Steinbrenner is a Hall of Famer During those meetings. Can you give us any idea if you had the ability to? Offer your support for George Steinbrenner and save the reasons why you felt he belongs in Cooperstown Well, as I said Jack without getting you know, because I don't want to violate any confidentiality that we had there Was everybody really gives their take on on their feeling on all the candidates and I you know It's as far as I want to really take this one of the guys who did get in was Lee Smith And one of the guys who's on the ballot coming up is one of our favorites Mariana Rivera Talk to me a little bit about that way.  Wait, how can you get my ballot will have my honor? So give me your thoughts on mo how about now You know the best there was they made me he made me a great manager You know I and especially you know my first year at the Yankees in 96 when He enabled me to manage for six innings only because he committed in the 7th and 8th and and It was the only tough time he had and Michael I know you're gonna remember this is is early 97 where it was the first time he turned around and there was nobody behind him You know, he's gonna be the one finishing up and and the fact that You know, he was gonna get the ball. I remember one time at the stadium. He pitched against Oakland And he faced the same guy twice in the same game and I you know, I said to him after the game I said, it's yours pal. I you know may take you a while, but it's yours and I think he had like 40 saves that year. Although we did give up the home run to Alamoire that Mel and I made sure we talked to him about Before he went home and then once he got the spring training I'm wondering just to amplify what went on that room. You said Penella came close I think the report was he was one away He had a lot of weight and I know that because I read what you guys read So when that's going on is it looping out of the player or also looping Ella the manager as well Is it all come together? I you know now I'm guessing because you know, I'm not we we're not the ones that put these candidates in place Yeah, you have another panel who who does that mainly newspaper or media people that put it in place And I I think I would say that he was put on For being a manager, but once he's on you you can look at his statistics as a player Now do you believe that with a guy like Harold Baines getting it? It was a very good player and was off the ballot in five years with the writers because he got under five percent I look at it. You want to go well, how does Mattingly and Hernandez not get in? Do you think that this opens the door for them? Well again, I You know, I thought it was a good mix of people, you know everybody you had Andy McFail and you had Claire Smith and and Tim Kirchen and you know Maddox and LaRusse and myself it was Ozzie Smith You know, I guess it's dependent and again I went into that room because you know we get all the stats and stuff in advance and I went into that room You know with some preconceived notions on what I wanted to do But you know, there's so much stimulating conversation about you know Everybody's take on each individual that you know, you can't help but Making sure you go over it again a part of the conversation for you lately has been pace of play coming up in 2019 Making some changes is a pitch clock coming up in the foreseeable future. It's gonna be it's gonna be talked about There's no question. They're gonna talk about that. You're gonna talk about shifts. We have a rules committee meeting on Wednesday Which we'll talk over a lot of stuff. It's usually a three or four hour meeting and again, you know pace of play is one thing length of game is another thing, you know, I personally feel I'd like to see more action. I'd like to see more contact You know this year we had more strikeouts and hits in the game and and that shouldn't be You know, we have very talented players out there and I really would like to You know, I like I used to say as manager think small and big things will happen But everybody seems to be thinking big so I know that commissioner Rob Manfred has talked about shifts a lot Do you have an idea in your head? And obviously we're not keeping this etched in stone about how shifts would actually be enacted about Whether it be two infielders on one side a second two on the other side What would you like to see happen in that regard?  That's that's been for years That's why you wanted to be strong up the middle good shortstop good second baseman And you know how you would go about it. I really don't know, you know There's been there's been talk about two and two is talk about, you know keeping guys from going into the outfield I know when I played and then the old Cincinnati ballpark Davey concepts you know, and every time I thought I hit a single in the hole between third and short You know, he laughed at me and picked the ball up and threw a three-hopper to first base on the artificial surface but You know, I don't I don't know You know the shifts the thing that bothers me about shifts Jack is the fact that we're not making More adjustments as a hitter to to go against the shifts. Well, Joe, we know you've got a busy agenda We thank you for joining us as always if you do want to see your buddy Elvis again. He is alive


Let's solve a couple of questions on fringe width in double slit experiment. For this one, the two slits are illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nanometers, and the slits are 0.12 millimeters apart, and the screen is kept 40 centimeters away from the plane of the slits. The question is to figure out the distance, the distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe. Alright, before I get into this, pause the video and give this a try. Alright, now let's see what the question has given us. First of all, let us draw the screen and the two slits. There you go. And it says there are two slits illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nanometers. So we can have a light source giving out a monochromatic light of wavelength. The wavelength of this light is 500, 500 nanometers. The slits are 0.12 millimeters apart. So that is the distance, as you can see from the cursor, this distance right here, this is 0.12 millimeters. And also the screen is kept 40 centimeters away from the plane of the slits. So that distance is right here, this is 40 centimeters. And now we need to figure out the distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe. Now as we have seen, when these light waves pass through the slits, they undergo diffraction and the diffracted waves from both of these slits will interfere with each other and that will result in a pattern on the screen. So the light waves after diffraction can look somewhat like this and when they are incident on the screen, you will get a pattern which looks like this. You will have places where the waves are interfering constructively, so you have a bright fringe at those places and at the other places where the light waves are interfering destructively, you get a dark fringe. Now the fringe width, the fringe width is the distance between the center from one bright fringe to the adjacent bright fringe. So one fringe width would be this distance right here. We can denote this by the symbol beta. This is the distance between the central bright fringe and the first bright fringe. The second bright fringe is right over here and this distance is also, this distance is also beta. Similarly, this distance right here, this will also be beta. This is the distance between the second bright fringe and the third bright fringe. Let us give numbers to the fringes also. This is the center fringe. This is the first bright fringe. This right here is the second and this is the third. You can see that the intensity of the bright fringes, it decreases as you go further away from the center. The question is asking us the distance between the central bright fringe, that is this, and the third bright fringe. So that would be adding fringe widths, that is beta, three times. So we have the fringe width beta and this is equal to lambda, that is the wavelength, into capital D, the distance between the plane of slits and the screen, divided by the distance between the slits, that is small d. We need to find a distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe. So this would just become, this would just become, we are interested in three times of fringe width. So we multiply both the sides with three and there you go. We need to calculate three lambda d divided by small d. Let us put in the values and see what do we get. This becomes equal to three into lambda, that is 500 nanometers, so 500 into 10 to the power minus nine. We need to be very careful about units in such questions. Then capital D, which is 40 centimeters, so that is 40 into 10 to the power minus two, divided by, divided by small d, that is 0.12 into 10 to the power minus three meters. And when you work this out, you will get the distance between the central and the third fringe to be as 0.005 meters. But we need to express the answer in millimeters. So this becomes, this becomes five millimeters. So the answer over here is five. Let's move on to our second question now. For the second one, we have a monochromatic light of wavelength 620 norm, which shines on two slits separated by 0.5 millimeters in an interface experiment. And the question is to figure out the distance of the screen, how far should the screen be placed from the plane of the slits to get a fringe width of 1.2 millimeters. Again, before I get into this, pause the video and give this a try. Hopefully you have tried this on your own. This is very similar to the question that we did previously, but we need to find something else in this one. Okay, now let's see what all information is provided in the question. So firstly, the wavelength is 620, this is wavelength. We have the distance between the slits, that is 0.5. So this is small d. And we need to figure out capital D, how far should the screen be placed? So let me put d and a question mark next to it. And we also know the fringe width beta, that is 1.2, this is 1.2 millimeters. Okay, now let's bring the setup in. So we have the screen, the source and the two slits. And you have light waves incident on the slits which undergo diffraction. And then the waves from both of these slits, they can constructively and destructively interfere. And as a result, you get a fringe pattern on the screen, which looks like this. Now we know the distance between the slits, that is 0.5. We need to figure out this distance, capital D and we also know the wavelength of this light, that is 620 nanometers. And we also know the fringe width, that is the distance between the centers of two bright fringes. So that is this distance right here, this beta, this is given to be as 1.2 millimeters. All right, let's again use the expression which relates the fringe width with a wavelength and the distance between the slits, also the distance between the plane of slits and the screen. So that expression is given by beta, this is equal to, this is equal to lambda into D, capital D divided by small D. In this case, we need to figure out capital D. So let's keep capital D on one side and take everything else on the other side. When we do that, we can get capital D, this is equal to beta into small D divided by the wavelength. Okay, now let's try and solve this. This would be 1.2 into 10 to the power minus three, because this is in millimeters, into 0.5 into 10 to the power minus three divided by the wavelength and that is 620 into 10 to the power minus nine. And when we work this out, we will get the answer as 0.9 meters. So this answer, the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen, this is 0.9 meters.

What's the difference between a startup company and a business and what's the weight of technology in a startup? Yeah, um, so I guess I'm trying to interpret what that question means Like what's the difference between a startup versus a business that's been around for a long time? Like how are they different? What do you yeah? I would probably even break that a little bit further We deal with this within the humble community all the time as to What's enterprise versus what's an established organization, right? What small business versus what's the startup and so I think it it may be helpful for them to understand What is the difference between a small business and what's the difference between a startup maybe first? That's probably a good place to start from and then maybe we'll talk about established organization and then a startup Okay, so let's start with that So the difference to me between a startup and a small business when we talk about startups They're usually characterized in today's nomenclature, right as a company that is not profitable yet So one that still has to rely on venture back You know venture back funding to actually get going to become profitable And it might have something to do with technology although that's not always the case But that's usually what you hear when you hear startup these days I think to the difference between a small business is you might be able to get that profitable immediately depending on what you do But I still think there's a lot of parallels between them. So for me example, I started My business which is a consulting and training firm About three to four years ago and I would consider it a small business But I still had to use all the techniques I did when I was building a startup for technology to actually get it running, right? I had to make sure people wanted it I tested the content I tested all the things I did to make sure that whatever I was building, you know There was demand for so I think it just really classifies where you are in the stage of building your product and developing it With startups to usually you're somewhere hovering around this line of product market fit And this is a really big term in startups and product market fit means that you have a product That a market actually wants and demands, right? So you found something that the market desires will pay you for it and you're trying to get that established and grow so Some companies in startup world are actually a post product market fit They have something that people want they found a solution But they're not profitable yet because maybe the operations getting there have taken too much money compared to the profit They're bringing in so they have to scale it So then you're still in startup world when you're trying to do that that to me is a difference between those two Yeah, I always explain to people the You know I think the lean mindset and why we look at in that regards versus is it lean Think of the traditional Toyota model of being established an enterprise versus lean startup Which may look more like Eric Reese and Ashmore company, right? that no matter what and no matter what camp you may find yourself in the Philosophy the methods the tools that you use you could use if you were writing the next novel You could use if you were launching the next grocery store It could range between small business or venture-back businesses It's making the best use of Money more specifically and for us at least it's always time is the most valuable thing. Yes Yep, that's a big thing because you don't want your competitors to swoop in there and disrupt you or more importantly like a big company Google or Amazon could probably do what you're doing if they really really wanted to very quickly But if you do the right processes if you have that lean mindset You could probably operate faster than they are be more in touch with the customer because you don't have as much Corporation baggage waiting on you, right?


Actor St. Von Colucci passed away on April 23, 2023, in a hospital in South Korea following surgery. To resemble BTS' Jimin, the vocalist, he had undergone 12 surgeries. He received a seven-figure offer to appear in a Korean series, but he had to look like Jimin to get the job. He underwent 12 surgeries for a total cost of $220,000, including lip reduction, implants, a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, a jaw surgery, and several other minor procedures. In April 2022, he underwent a jaw implant procedure that left his jaws infected. On November 22, 2022, he had surgery to remove the implants, but due to complications, he had to be put on a ventilator. His condition quickly deteriorated, and he passed away at the age of 22.


I'm hearing some display issues, oh, I didn't set the resolution, sorry, sorry, okay, okay. So I guess we can start now, okay? So welcome, this is the last talk for today, I know you're tired, especially considering, you know, but I hope to keep it short and talk about .NET Core on Fedora. First a short introduction, if you don't know who I am. My name is Nemanya, it's a bit hard to pronounce, but I'm from Serbia, that's the reason, yes. I'm Fedora Ambassador from Serbia. I'm also a teaching assistant and a PhD student at Faculty of Sciences, Department of Mathematics and Informatics, which is in Novi Sad. And I'm also a .NET and Android developer at a small company called AlphaSoft. And I'm here today to talk about .NET Core on Fedora. So this is the short plan, what we're going to do. I'm briefly going to go over, the others have mentioned already, what is .NET Core. I'm going to tell you why you should consider using .NET Core. I will also tell you why you should be against .NET Core and when you shouldn't use it. And then I'm going to focus on the topic here, which is the packaging of .NET Core for Fedora. And lastly, I'll tell you how to get started today. And I'll tell you how to get needed packages in Fedora and there will be a short demo. Okay. So .NET Core, you've heard about it already today a lot. But let's just repeat over some main talking points. It's an open source, MIT license subset of the original .NET framework. Not everything is there yet. It's the future of .NET. All the development is shifting towards it. So it's the next thing in .NET lifetime. In the end, it's a modern, modular, another modern, modular, powerful framework, which is suitable for all kinds of applications. It is also cross-platform. The asterisk there is, it's not yet fully cross-platform. You can't actually run it on quite a few platforms, let's say. There's no official support for Fedora 25. That's something we are trying to change. There's also limited ARM support. You can run it on Raspberry Pi if you install Windows 10 IoT version or whatever it's called. So you can't run it on Linux on ARM as far as I know. So yeah, that star is going to stay there until they fix that, which is supposed to happen somewhere this year, I think in version 2.0. So why you should consider using .NET Core for your applications? Well, in my opinion, the main reason why you should consider .NET Core is because of the languages, because of C-sharp and F-sharp, which are really feature-rich and powerful languages. If you are coming from a Java background, C-sharp is like, it has a much broader set of features. It has stuff like asynchronous operations by default. It has integrated query language, things like that. So for me, that's the reason I'm developing in .NET Core, not something else, it's because of the language. Also, the ecosystem is pretty good. You can get a lot of good open-source libraries for .NET Core. Of course, a lot of the right libraries are still being ported to .NET Core and only support the big old .NET framework. So that's something you should be aware of. Also, the reason why you should consider using .NET Core is if you have an old .NET code base, which you need to maintain, it's now much easier to transition to .NET Core than to completely rewrite your application in another language, obviously, because it's the same language. Also, their support has demonstrated for OpenShift very easily. You can deploy your applications to OpenShift. And as others have mentioned, ASP.NET Core, which is the web framework around .NET Core, is pretty fast. There's a link on GitHub where they keep their benchmark results. There was a talk today about 3 million requests per second, even more than that in the new ASP.NET Core. So, why not .NET Core? The tooling is, let's be kind, it's incomplete. If you're on Linux, if you're developing for .NET Core, you're going to run into some issues. The tooling is actually still in preview version, release candidate version. And 1.0 version is coming soon. We're being said it's days, weeks, maybe before the next big version, 1.0, the final version. Also, when you use .NET Core, you're pretty much locked into using it to develop only two types of applications, either console applications or web applications. You can develop desktop applications. You can use Electron, that's the most sane thing to do. There are some frameworks which are open source, Avalonia, I don't know, maybe you heard of it, is one of them which can, it uses GTK bindings to display on Linux. So you can use that, but mostly you're locked into developing web applications and console applications. Also, one of the things that are annoying is there are still breaking changes in the framework, so if you listen to any other .NET Core talk today, all of them showed a nice project JSON file, which isn't going to be in the next version. It's replaced with an XML file. Why? We don't know. It's easier to read maybe for some people. It's still going to be human readable, but that's just one example of a breaking change. I'll get to the breaking changes later. Also, you should be aware, obviously there are other frameworks. No one is saying you should use it. This is the best framework in the world. At least I am not. So, yeah, you should consider wisely why you should and why you shouldn't use .NET Core, and we hope to provide you with a package for Fedora. So, package in .NET Core for Fedora. The .NET special interest group in Fedora, this is our wikipage, and this is our pager where we keep all the things we do. Our main goal is to package .NET Core in Fedora. Our other goals are to send patches to the upstream and help provide support for .NET Core developers on Fedora. We have IRC meetings every Tuesday at 7 p.m. So, you can join us. We talk about .NET Core. The interesting thing about the .NET special interest group is that around 50% of the members are in this room, in that room actually. So, join us. We discuss packaging. We discuss .NET Core on Fedora. And that's it about .NET 6. So, some of the issues with the packaging. First of all, we had an issue with the internalization library, LibIcu. Why? Well, it was up until recently hard-coded in major .NET Core releases. So, .NET Core comes out, and it's locked to, I don't know, Libisu 54. So, that was pretty hard to fix. But in the upstream, it's fixed. So, when we are building from source, as we are now, not fully, but we are, we can fix that and it's okay. Another issue is obviously Fedora OS has major Fedora releases, get the new version. So, timing is an issue. So, .NET Core comes out. It expects one version. Fedora comes out after it. Has another version. It doesn't work anymore. So, yeah. For example, I think that's the main reason why you don't have Fedora 25 support still in official support for Microsoft because .NET Core 1.1, which is the latest version, came, I think, two weeks after Fedora, or before Fedora 25. So, it was only Fedora 24 supported. Another issue is obviously all packages in Fedora have to be built completely from source. And with .NET Core, it is at the moment impossible to build the entire stack without using some sort of pre-built binaries. Or in some cases, you can't even build it without Windows. In the upstream, and very soon with .NET Core 2.0, we're going to have a simpler build system and we'll be able to build it fully from source. Obviously, to build .NET Core, you need .NET Core, a working version, because Roslin, the C-sharp compiler, is written in C-sharp, as luck has it. So, we can use a bootstrapping tool, and there is such tool. It's called the rover tool and we are using it, but it only partially rebuilds the main package. It doesn't change everything. I'll show it later. So, it's not a fully, you know, I'm pulling this repository, building everything, and I get the binaries. It's not like that. It's just for modifications. Another issue was licensing. So, you go to the GitHub repository, where everything is, and there is an MIT license there. You go to download the binaries, and there is a weird Microsoft and user license agreement in the package, which says you can't distribute this package or anything like that. So, that was very weird. It's also fixed in the upstream. With 2.0, it's going to be fine. We fix it manually for now. And we can't build for... That's the issue five. We can't build for Fedora 26 for now, because there was a wrong header version specified somewhere. It's in upstream. It's fixed. So, we are just waiting. It may be merged already. I don't know, but we're waiting for it to go, and then we'll be able to build for Fedora 26. So, if you want to start developing with .NET Core on Fedora, today, if you're using Fedora 24, which is still supported, obviously, you can use the pre-built binaries from Microsoft, where LibICU version is hard-coded correctly. If you're using Fedora 24, if you don't want to use the Microsoft binaries, or if you are using Fedora 25, there are two cool other copper repositories, which you can use. So, the first one is called .NET 1.1. It's basically the same binaries you get from Microsoft, but with the correct LibICU bundled. It's not built from source, obviously. And it's also known as the worst RPM in the world, because if you go to packaging guidelines, it breaks pretty much everything there, because it's not built from source. It's a wrong license inside, but it works. It works, yeah, so you can use that. Or, a couple of weeks before this conference, we built the other repository, which is the .NET clean repository. It's the latest and cleanest, so that's why it's called .NET clean build we have so far. So, what do we do here? We take binaries from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which are built by a trusted developer. That's his name. We verify the package is correct, so we have the check sound. We make sure it's the exact same package, so we can trust it. Then we use the Robert tool to bootstrap it, and it partially rebuilds the complete .NET core and gives us the binaries. One small issue with this is that this binary, which we have on Fedora 25, reports the wrong RID. RID is a runtime ID. Each report is running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and it should report that it's running on Fedora 25. It's not a major issue, because we can run it, like we can run .NET core applications with the shared runtime, so it doesn't care what it reports, but we will definitely need to be fixing this. That's because the Robert tool doesn't completely rebuild the package. It only partially rebuilds the package. If you're interested how the spec file works, it's right there. The link is right there. The future of packaging .NET core for Fedora, we have to prepare for the new build system, which is coming soon. Until then, we agreed to build unstable versions, until .NET core 2.0 is released, so we are ready when it's released. We are meant to support secondary architectures, so you can run .NET core on your Raspberry Pi, because Fedora runs on Raspberry Pi now. Obviously, proper fully built packages for Fedora 26 or Fedora 27. We hope it's for Fedora 26. The last step is, of course, to write tutorials, documentations, and things like that. The tool on the inner field version, if you have Fedora and you just want to use .NET core, enable the copper, install the package name is .NET core, and you can run it just fine. That's it. I just want to briefly mention some other tools, since you're going to develop .NET core applications on Fedora. You can use Visual Studio Code. Others have mentioned it. It's a very nice textual editor. You can get an RPM from Microsoft, or even better. Fedora, a developer who maintains Visual Studio Code repository, it's the same file, but you get automatic updates, obviously, this way. I would recommend the second option. You can also use Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft tools usually play nice together. The build for Red Hat Linux works fine on Fedora. There's a nice magazine article on how to get it running. I have it running at home. It's working pretty stable. It's a public preview version, so every time you start it, it says 167 days still self-destruction or something like that. It warns you it's not the final one. The last tool I want to mention, others didn't mention it, is the DreadBrain Rider. It's another IDE from DreadBrain, which I believe is a track company. Yes? Yes. It's still in early access preview, but I suggest you try it. It's pretty good. It has Resharper included. Resharper is like Linting helper tool, only one for .NET developers. It's pretty awesome. The Resharper is also their project, and this is the first time it's actually Resharper is coming to other platforms. So this is awesome. You previously could use it only with Windows and with Visual Studio. So try DreadBrain Rider. I meant to show it here, but this machine only has two gigabytes of RAM, and at the moment it's a bit heavy, so I'm not going to show it. I have it here, but it's a bit slow, so I don't want to, for you to think it's slow and don't try it, because if you want to try .NET Core really, you have to try the tool. It's pretty good. Okay, so we are left with another question. So is this .NET Core really ready for, should you trust this? Is it really ready to use in a production environment? Well, at my company we've been running a .NET Core application, which was a .NET, fully .NET built application, 4.5 I think it was, and we migrated it to .NET Core, mostly because I wanted to play with it and see how it is, and I developed on Fedora. So it's been running I think a year now. We developed on Fedora and then it's run on Windows machines, so it's opposite of the other demo that Tom showed, where we developed on Windows and run on Fedora, but we haven't had any issues with it, apart from the breaking changes which I mentioned, so between 1.0 release candidate, which was supported, go live license or whatever from Microsoft, 1.0 was a massive change, nearly all configuration was put out and then replaced with another model. So that was annoying, lost a week there, but other than that, no memory leaks, no things like that. I would say it's ready for production, it's a pretty good framework. You should definitely try it. It's a new framework in our world, in our open source Linux development world, but you should try it. It's not that difficult to use. You can use C sharp with it and it's pretty good. So I want to show you a quick demo. Let's just... So I meant to show you a demo where I run a small application on OpenShift, but Tom already did that, so I'm going to show you how easy it is to write a small, very small, in fact, web service using .NET Core. Can you see the... It's pretty big for me, but I don't know if you can see it. So what you need to do, I already have... So this is obviously Fedora 25, as you can see, and I have the clean version of the .NET framework. You can see it's clean because it reports the wrong RID, which I mentioned is the issue. Nowhere here it says it's clean, but you can trust me it's clean and it says that we are running on Fedora 25 Linux, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so let's make a new directory and let's run .NET new. This creates two files. One is the main program class, the main entry point of program, which is just as hello world as you can see. And the other one is project JSON file, very simple. You can see you can declare your dependencies here, it works in runs on and things like that. I don't want to bore you. You already seen it and it's going away. So what's the point of showing it, yes? So let's just do a restore, which will restore all the packages that I specified. Okay, that was quick. And then .NET run, which will just show us a hello world. So nothing special here. So it's very easy to go from here. Let's use Visual Studio Code. It's very easy to go from here to a small web server, web service, sorry. So what you do, you will obviously need some dependency. It asks me, do I want to add some assets, Visual Studio Code? Okay, add them. So let's specify a few dependencies. We'll use Microsoft ASP.NET Core MVC framework. And we're going to use only the core part, which is basically just some routing, some templating, nothing more. No view rendering. You can write a very small API with this package. So version is one point. I don't know what is available. 110 should work. And we need another package where we would pull the web server. So let's pull the web server. It's also a NuGet package, so we can just find it. There it is. Okay? So I don't know if anyone else showed this, but there's a very cool feature in the Visual Studio Code where you can run a terminal inside. So let's just run .NET Restore again. It will pull this package, it pulls them locally because I had these packages in my cache already. Okay? So if I run it now, nothing will obviously change. I have to do some configuration. It will still just say hello world. There we go. But let's now modify this a bit. So instead of hello world, we want to start a web server. So let's just say new web host, I believe. Just one second. And just say what do we want to use? We want to use new web host dot. Is it web host? Just one moment, sorry. Actually, it's maybe better if I just use new, maybe shared web host. I'm not sure what it's called. Just one moment. Let's do it like this. Microsoft ASP.NET Core Hosting dot. I host, I web host builder, sorry. Then we can say, oh, sorry. Just one moment. I web host. Okay. I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to show you the finished demo, which I already have. Just one moment.  It's difficult to remember all the class names. So I'll go to projects. Devconf demo. Okay. There we go. Let's just open this. It's called web host builder. Sorry. Okay. So instead of the hello world prompt, we just use a new web host builder. We tell it that we want to use Castrol, which is a web server from Microsoft. We want to use a startup class. Startup class is specified just under here. It's not very clean to specify them in the same file, but okay. We want to build this web host, and we want to run it. So in startup class, we just say, we have two methods. We just say add MVC core, which is the service we want to use.
