it's like and he starts recruiting villains to his side to help out like Venom and stuff I'm pretty sure as like guys I don't know what to say he's clearly in the wrong on this one it's not anywhere near as arguable as the Sikobi records is why I really like Civil War I think that there's an ongoing conversation between their two perspectives and ending is less to do with that more to do with obviously their personal struggles I fucking love Civil War that's why there you go still going praise the long man all yes we're still going 655 am in Britania I hated homecoming because they never explained how he became Spider-Man and who is the uncle Ben so they don't explain how he becomes Spider-Man because who the fuck needs to know why how he got bitten by spider he just tells Ned he got bit by spider the idea is that we don't need to spend several scenes like we already have an amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man Raimi who show he gets bitten by spider it's not relevant they want to tell their story he got bit by spider it was radioactive we done and then he says ooh can I get bit by it too and he says it's dead Ned I killed it or something like that so all you need to know and then as for uncle Ben if you remember he says why don't you tell your aunt about being Spider-Man he says I can't but put this on it right now you know what she's been through and I thought it was a very tasteful way of trying to tell the audience yes uncle Ben is a thing in this one too but we're not going to draw attention to it because it's a story that's well-treaded and we want to move on with our own story make sense to me I think it was handled brilliantly I was actually impressed I was like oh my gosh I think that's a reference to uncle Ben they didn't even make a huge deal out of it to get that emotional re-pass to be like look uncle Ben he's a nice person he died he does sad about that they could have done it they didn't they went their own direction hope you save the super chats when you reset the stream yes we've been I'm now on to EFAP 41 super chats we're getting there folks to be clear do you guys think that the pros ultimately outweigh the cons in Avengers Age of Ultron no not that long shot Age of Ultron is a fucking disaster I enjoy it but holy fuck very little in the Civil War comic Tony makes a subservient clone of Thor who ends up killing a fellow hero Goliath and Tony just brushes it off by saying it's how a cop would have acted screw the comic what it's funny to read after the one that said Tony is not the bad guy EFAP 40 through 47 how to redeem a broken last thorderman civil snake pole with a sword that is a lot of references in one thing right they're making Justice League part 2 but it will not follow the continuity of Justice League part 1 or BVS I've heard that about Suicide Squad I didn't know they were doing that for Justice League though so it's not a cinematic universe anymore no winter soldier is based because it's red-pilled on neocons I didn't put there enough millenials see us as any over 30 is angry old men maybe to be a millennial it's very broad could you be a 30 year old and a millennial at the same time so a millennial is the phase used to describe a person who reached adulthood in the early 21st century and covers the generation of people born between 1980 and 2000 yes you could be a 30 year old millennial and you could be a 38 year old millennial EFAP episode 40 got copyright strike by Werner yeah again anyone who's listening to this I'm very sorry but you cannot watch EFAP 40 for a while until it gets released and I can't even release an edited version because they snapped it before I could do anything about it so again you'll be able to see this one there's nothing like a fucking copyright on this one and this will be accessible from the mohler channel I don't really want to upload it on mohler before the other one because then it's just going to be out of order which is really fucking lame we'll have to see what I'm going to do about that but yeah this one's watchable the previous one isn't and that's a shame because it was a lot of fun but it'll be watchable eventually because there's no way they'll be able to maintain that copyright claim next time Dr. Shad it will take more than children to save you I imagine that's a reference to Iron Man 2 had the governor talking about taking Tony suits away because they were more advanced than anything that had Vulture's plan to stay under the radar wouldn't even last a week the government would pull their resources on them they're under the radar though, they haven't been found Iron Man is extremely public Vulture's whole thing is that they wouldn't find him and besides he only starts years after Avengers so in terms of timeline that still fits in the idea that he hasn't been found post Iron Man 2 because he wouldn't have started post Iron Man, he only started post Iron Man 2 anyway it's planned to stay under the radar wouldn't even last a week that's not, I don't see why you think that's true who's plan? the person said that Vulture's plan to stay under the radar wouldn't even last a week the government would put all their resources on them why? what do you mean? the whole thing about Vulture in the film is that he only does jobs that won't attract any attention only at the end of the film that he does something that's very dangerous but it doesn't pay off, when it would have if not for Spider-Man hot take being fat isn't commendable or acceptable and Thor was at his best when he inspired millions of guys around the world to work out and be healthy sure it's clearly not presented as a good thing that he's an ineffectual no I don't think so either Shad, meticulations are my spirit animal I'm sure you would be happy to hear that people who know history I believe these corporations are actively emasculating the population to stifle descent ok Alex Jones elsewhere corporations actively topple governments in foreign countries to enslave people alright then no comment guys really? I thought you would like massive corporations controlling things to stop descent that's a bad but I do think that the point of a lot of people on the left especially they're very dismissive in general and I think that calling people like Alex Jones and stuff you're just a conspiracy theorist you're just peddling conspiracies that's one of their ways that they use to dismiss people I don't have to actually really talk about any actual issues next one says this guy sounds like Down's rags I don't know who they're referring to when they say that maybe it was Jay maybe it was Trinka maybe it was Shad, who knows a YouTuber named Makab storytelling thinks the departed is objectively bad, eFap him so the argument I've heard about the departed is that it stole its story from somewhere else which is a fair reason to say that it's not as good as people think it is but yeah, I'd be interested to hear the argument maybe he's right, who knows I do like the departed a lot though what do you guys think of Event Horizon have either of you seen Event Horizon I've heard of it I haven't seen it I very much liked it, it's a crazy film didn't pull W.I. Sanderson direct yes, he did that doesn't mean it's terrible same Neil and Laurence Fishburne in it yeah, and Jason Isaacs is in it as well it's a cray film I really like it I think it's a great horror film definitely lets you mind wander for what the fuck is going on I like it and what's cool is that part of it inspired pieces of amnesia which is my favorite game there you go Maul is going to be sober by the time this stream is finished I'm pretty much sober at this point I haven't drank now for the past few hours and back to feeling normalisms I think it's about time two strong females in the MCU learn to shut the fuck up they're not going to Captain Marvel is going to lead the MCU it's going to be amazing amazeballs Civil War it was a damn civil punch on whoa yeah, they punched each other in a warring environment guys and dolls parody rags the dog, it's just another day with rags oh rags the dog it's just a day with rags the dog that's how that goes if dawn touching a map is battery then a shake it is on my way to work and saw a dude just smash into a Kia soul with his big truck I got out and helped, the jerk cost me about $30 of work and I gave the woman who was hit my favorite coat good just ignore people in trouble if I've learned anything from Captain Marvel she'll accuse you of assault because you put a jacket on her did didn't homecoming start with the tisaming of the MCU timeline? so homecoming fucked up their position in the timeline they said they were five years what was it, they're five years after they said eight years later from the avengers yeah they're not well the question was asked did they fuck up or did the russos fuck up and the russos said well I guess that's up to the view it's like if you look at it I'm pretty sure the russos established their timeline before homecoming did they said for the last four years so yeah they line up I guess that well that's the thing right because in civil war vision says in the eight years since Tony Stark announced himself as Iron Man so 2016 is when that is but I've also heard people say avengers takes place in 2009 that's what I've heard some people say I'd have to check but what I remember when looking into it was the homecoming fucked up on that but it might be one of the all the other civil war was good minus the Spidey stuff I love the Spidey stuff in civil war so I will fight you home from sys is eight EFAP continues yes that last super chat from 007 was wrong that's all that was the guy who said civil war was good minus the Spidey stuff so I like how this in-fighting in the super chats it's funny have you ever seen the 1981 film Excalibur and if so what are your thoughts on it I have but it's been ages since I've seen it other one with the oh no I have not seen that was it good do you remember being good I do I remember really liking it I can't remember much about it though but because it's been ages since I've seen it but it's an old off obviously our 3 in movie kind of dark but then again the legend itself is kind of dark I read the ones in future king as well so there you go I would like to actually see it again because it has been a while stories like these make me glad I got out of retail so that tells you where we are that was what we were telling to retail stories we get there shout out to my favorite artist the Shadman and people often ask us to get him as a guest Shadavisti and the Shadman very different people I wish I could tell you guys my story from Target this is the thing when you work in retail you get like two stories per day so it's an infinite amount to hear and they're all horrible never worked in retail before but I cannot imagine acting like this how do people think it's acceptable to make these wild demands of service providers your parents have failed you that's part of the problem if they were to work on the other end they would very quickly realize how unreasonable they're becoming or being and that's why I think that everyone should experience it because it's seriously humbling and it'll make you much more aware of how things work in retail let's just put it that way I am one of the most patient people when it comes to retail shit just because of what I've been behind the till so I'm just like yeah you guys do what you have to do I'll wait and they appreciate it believe me they appreciate it Braggs I heard you grabbed a suspicious amount of women by the map how dare you I did I took them on a trip around the world doesn't even deny it the racializer guys Mola watched all your videos on TLJ Braggs you're the man you beautiful doggo and when you're gonna dig non-jtech TV again oh that's the name I haven't heard in a while hmm I guess that's your answer well I mean I don't know I don't know who he's been up to I'd have to go to a show I seriously forget about these people they're just such idiot losers I just don't even think about them after this I can take a look and see what he's been up to who knows who knows we could do something a little old school anomaly Inc said so far from home as well it's objectively not great does that mean it's bad does that mean it's good yeah what's up not great yes maybe have some money thank you what is this continuous comments about liking something subjectively and have another opinion objectively the logic here I'm assuming that's best it's poor in construction emotional level jay thanks for the gadel black video featuring more I'm sure he would appreciate ringy you might think people should be able to agree that minority report is a bad idea and more you might think people shouldn't throw acid but you must realize that pathos driven people are a large group see the thing about like the minority report thing is really I don't think there's a valid argument for it because it's like what if you're wrong I think that person is just beaming but yeah yeah I know but there probably are people who look at my that's a good idea you guys should watch the galaxies edge review by the internet it's so cringe and I think you guys have a good laugh at how much the host isn't a star wars fan we could do new lion king movie coming out anyone thinks symbol will be like Danny and kill the entire lion pride after defeating scar we can only hope I hope they do it I hope someone animates the skittles conversation you never know with e-fap you never know this absolutely has been my favorite e-fap you can fucking I'm just trying to get to the end we're nearly there I'm actually like partially excited because I'm going to die soon skittles are better I paid money for this value it more there you go rags you got a supporter it changed more you can do the spider-man origin in the movie it literally would only take one minute it is bad storytelling relying on meta knowledge what do you mean they say you got bit by a spider that was radioactive that's it what more do you need you could be like well they could have said what spider in which place like you don't need to know those things I don't think it's relying on meta knowledge at that point yeah but spider-man takes place in New York City and they don't explain they don't tell us anything about New York City what kind of a place is this can you believe they're relying on meta knowledge if someone said well they never say the words uncle bans you're relying on meta knowledge functions whether or not you know the word uncle Ben or the what that is if you don't know anything about it then you know that they went through something and there's no father figure in his life you can infer you don't absolutely I agree that you have no idea what's actually going on there but it's more of an appeasement line for those who are looking for that which is why I think it's clever it works both for the people who are just watching a movie and for those who are like hey I came here for spider-man's uncle Ben spider-byte story where's my where's my slice of cake those pieces of dialogue are like oh we're not doing that but we recognize that you exist and we're doing something else okay point you don't need to have the whole he's in he's taking photos we'll look at his spiders we'll bury jade it's like hey take photos to be a sabre movie you don't need to do the same thing I jab it oh and someone donated two dollars for Fringy there you go I'll make a note awesome here's five bucks for Fringy a seven in total why are you reading this spider-man is coming out I know e-fapping for eight hours how is your e-fapping not on fire who said it wasn't last stream was blocked by Warner Brothers that's the thing it's always on fire the last stream has been blocked and I've challenged it we'll have to wait I'm afraid and consider it human right sure what's Abos Abos I need to sleep now this one's for the doggo love your rag in a very homo way also hi again jay night guys fun day I will add five on to for rags here's some money don't give any to jay okay here's some money for our badger he gets paid way more than us anyway jay do a comprehensive analysis of hearthstone power cave he might actually after the latest video great to catch you live I found you guys a few weeks back and I'm going through the back catalog I look forward to hearing you read this around Christmas well I hope it was as fun for you as it was for us Australia is Atlantis but fake ha ha ha rags you eating chocolate don't do it I'm not here's some money for jay fuck you jay here's christ game of thrones season 8 made my anus bleed help there's not much we can do for you see a local doctor you still going to cover that brown table vid rags yes he is rags it was the most surreal thing I was watching youtube and walking around my house when I noticed that everyone else was two and not only that but we were all watching a different rags video kids too no way what is it more rags what is the order of creation feel content script record then video etc yeah of well we don't record and then do the script maybe so if I was to be a dick I'll be like how else could we order that but if I'm going to be as best intentioned as possible so I have an idea I write out notes and then I turn all the notes into a script then I read the script and record it edit it all into a video do multiple read drafts to make sure I get everything I want in there and then roof and print what is your process rags I don't really have a process um I will say that I don't generally do scripts like I might do a paragraph maybe but that's pretty uncommon if I want to do something that's really structured like maybe like the the fallout review I did for the most part script that but when I read through I add libelot as well but it's mostly just why don't forget like certain points in it like game mechanics and things of that nature or I don't forget examples that I have footage of what about you Fringy what about your newest video that you're making uh oh what do you mean the one that doesn't exist the one that you showed us and you promised to release to your beloved fans now that's I feel that's a lie uh oh we can't lie nope I don't know I mean the process starts with the script doesn't it first and foremost I mean if there's a script it'll typically start with one well that's the most important part like all the visuals and the editing is all all sort of in service of something that's not a piece of shit script that's my view anyway I still haven't got trout but I did get the new SS Janssen from the new Diamondpacks please send refund for my hit and run donation looking forward to hearing this in four hours 433 GMT ooh la la for my hit and run donation I have no idea what that's a reference to I'm sorry no he's he's swooping in and he's giving us money and he's heading out for the casting okay hang out with Dankular and become a Chad there you go J my biggest problem with Spider-Man was you wouldn't understand it unless you watch all the other MCU movies Stark, Cap, etc movies should stand alone I disagree the MCU doesn't have to have movies that stand alone because the whole premise is you're watching essentially a TV show of movies but homecoming still absolutely as followable if you haven't seen the other movies what do you guys think yeah absolutely it's serialized it's um I can't it'd be like saying man you know season breaking I shouldn't have needed to watch seasons one through three to understand season four yeah and then I would question also if you were to say a film should stand on its own it's like should all so return of the king does that stand on its own pretty confusing to watch I guess it does but like yeah I would imagine I'd be like it's more confusing to watch return of the king out of sequence than it is to watch homecoming out of sequence IMO yeah I'd say sorry PS problem with Civil War Zemo's plan is over complicated where he needs psychic powers to guess people's reactions that's only if you assume that what happens in the movie was what he definitively wanted that's a lot of the thing that people say it's like the exact outcome in the film was all that Zemo wanted it's like no Zemo could have had a lot of different things happen the main thing the main interest he had was splintering the Avengers and he was gonna do that by revealing to Iron Man that Cap's best friend was the one who killed his parents how it was discovered was a bonus as far as I can tell from the movie Zemo's initial thing though was just getting proof he didn't necessarily want it specifically that Iron Man and Cap were gonna have a fight to the death at the bottom of that fucking place that's just how it turned out will they ever reuse Thanos or does the MCU consider him permagon I imagine he's permagon I would say this is for rags for that brilliant vegetable farmer's question oh you're up to $72 I'll be sending away rags damn we need the EFAP are you sure we don't have to wait a whole week to do what did you say you coyote we don't have to wait a whole week to do another EFAP we don't no I just I feel awkward about the whole releasing them awkwardly I'm hoping that we get that thing passed through very day I am having an unpositive day my dudes I hope you boys enjoyed the dawn's downfall because I was asleep when you watched it feels bad man you won't be able to see our reaction to it for a little bit of time but it'll be there eventually once that video gets released vegetable farms, genocide, small mammals and ground nesting birds by the thousands just so you can eat a carrot sauce, I'm a pest control technician that works with several farms, gg well played I don't know if that's true or not guessing you guys don't eat hmm well this is a little bit out of my area of expertise I don't know if it's a meme or if it's like a bit of harsh reality being spread I have if TLJ never happened would we have people defending game of thrones like they do TLJ would that be the thing that breaks writing yeah I think so if TLJ never happened game of thrones would have been the big wake up call probably but TLJ already happened so game of thrones I think people were more ready to be like yeah this is just fucking terrible what if Chad Hulk comes out when professor is intellectually exhausted would that be a good compromise also best place to tickle e-fappers still present best place to tickle e-fappers still present I'm not sure what that means but what I would have wanted is that the personality is he's a very smart guy but he's quick to anger I suppose is the best compromise you could have between banner and Hulk but again that's not necessarily what I want anyway I want to see them I want to see the duality I want to see them fight each other and talk to each other and figure out their problems instead of just skipping all of it and being like oh it's just big banner wrong banner now I just got here what did I miss you've missed 5 hours and 19 minutes 6 hours and 30 minutes of cream some stuff I've had objectivity talks on reddit some get it but it's become clear to me that those who say you can't declare elements of art objectively bad or either fools or delusional which upsets me as somewhat modest person it's a complicated discussion and I said I remember saying to Jack long before we covered his video that it's gonna be an ongoing discussion that will happen well before I was alive and well after I'm dead and he saw that as evidence of how it's a faulty notion the fact people will discuss it well after I'm gone I was just like people will be discussing whether or not the earth is flat well I'm after I'm gone too they will always exist a lot of people out there who are funky are you human I saw this late morning and it's still going no I'm not human the next one says hi rags hello you guys are still here is this a 24 hour stream nice no actually but this is going to end eventually 40 congrats on your fallout 76 video keep it up 40 40 maybe 40 here oh yeah maybe yeah yeah yeah I am also in Australia oh there you go meme repository apparently from a fake place that's cool on the subjectivity crowd I remember Soph year in college Ivy campus supposed to be smart starting with friends about film and one chick kept dismissing everyone's criticisms I probed her and eventually asked if she believed standards shouldn't exist he probed her oh my god on college campus I probed her and eventually asked if she believed standards just shouldn't exist and she actually said yes that's when I realized women shouldn't be allowed to vote man this is like the fourth time this is same dude as an Australian I can confirm that Australia does not exist the script writers were terrible who thought emu walls would ever be believable yeah I know it's dumb but what can you do some writers think that it is believable not anybody rational brain you know rags has given me crippling depression for not saying hi back to me I think I've lost faith in humanity also how can I not say hi back to you there was one guy you didn't say hi back to you oh goodness well hello I didn't mean to not say hello I must have just blanked out for some weird reason my name is ashtam ashtam hello ashtam hello ashtam bring you say hello ashtam what the fuck what oh my god he's gonna be so upset hello efap keep me company while studying also hi rags hello this efap is so long I made another meme video during part one sent you to on twitter it has the dawn by the way make more super chat folks get to 12 hours I know this we're near the end this is actually a leaf hey man we'll be able to unlock efap 40 unblock efap 40 sorry and yeah as soon as this possible youtube is a bit of a dick like that I wish it wasn't held hostage I can't even access it that's the really sad part because someone suggested in a p.m. I think it was southpaw actually that you can cut out the offensive quote-unquote part of the part that's a copyright you can't do it that's not an option yet for me all I can do is counter the claim when you do that it's like why are you countering is it because you own the content is it because it's fair use I choose fair use I have to supply a bit of reasoning for why I do then you have to sign and then you just submit and that's all you can do it's terrible because it's literally near seven hours of what we would definitely refer to as content where we're responding to all the things our fans have done as well as commenting on videos and responding to them and it's all really this is a good efap and no it's locked away until YouTube realize what's going on it's like annoying so believe me we want it as free free as fast as you guys do it's just that we have to wait high top won't mind debating he's chill and was debating we'll check out his video and if he wants to come on efap afterwards we would welcome it finally got to watch an efap stream and also homecoming is good need to re-watch it again later after work that's yet to be concluded we'll have some kind of very controversial efap over whether or not homecoming is a decent film great picks you've been dropping in the discord today rags oh you bet my dude always happy to help always happy to share the bounty a ben is the dawn's real he never fully recovered from his injuries and died shortly before the movie and and then the final super chat is fringy why am I so acid i don't know you might need to talk to gp what's your gp a gp is a general practitioner it's a doctor oh does the gp help you with your pp mm-hmm well the gp helps you with all sorts of things including pp he said it yeah no i did he's aware of that which brings us to the end so extreme thanks for all of the generous donations i will sort out getting everybody's specific ones to them i'm just gonna have to collect a lot of emails i suppose and the extreme creativity in both the images and the videos for the memes and obviously we're very regretful that 40 has been nuked for now it'll come back and i hang on to the link you've got right now it'll be in the discord as well in my community but i guess people who ask on twitter i'll try and supply it as well access this shit from the mohler channel unlisted for now it'll all come on mohler hopefully i'll try and contact the youtube support thing we can get it sped up in terms of releasing episode 40 i don't know what they like with that but we'll see and yeah appreciate all of that unfortunately though i don't mean to finish on like a depressing note in any way but it needs to be talked about er that star wars gills sister was missing for a while i think near a week unfortunately she's turned up and she's passed away i have no idea what the specifics are you might be able to find more on twitter but um there is a go fund me setup to support the family dealing with what is i imagine something horrific and again it may seem very strange to put this on efab but the fact is like you know she's a friend to a very certain degree and uh we'd like to obviously talk about it and at least raise some form of awareness so it'll be in the top of the description a link to this and i'll pop it in chat in a second it's an ugly situation it's unfortunate that it happens and obviously our thoughts are with them the family and it's fucking horrible that it's genuinely not not not a good thing that's happened and and yeah it would just uh hope that everyone can sort of i hope you posted the go fund me link in there yeah i see it yeah i'll post it a couple times and like i said it'll be at the top of the description and i'll pop it in my discord announcements as well yeah yeah again like i said i don't i don't mean to try and like down and all it's just it is important to talk about uh these things happen and i just wanted to make sure the information goes out um but other than that is there anything else you guys would like to say about anything in any way uh no um i think i i think that covers about all the bases we've been going for a long time and i think many of us are ready to i guess wrap things up conclude this saga yeah i believe is the longest e fappers ran and again like i said it's just it's a ridiculous thing that isn't an entire adventure and it's just really like i said it's unfortunate all this that should happen in the middle of it but we everything has to be done in a way that's respectful so i'm hoping that um everything sort of gets where it needs to be it's very uh impossibly difficult to say the correct things in situations like this i just apply that star wars girl anna with um any support that she needs and um other than that yeah thank you all for uh every kindness that you provided for this community and hopefully we provided uh what you were looking for back and all these things will be made available as soon as possible that the streams and um everything else but other than that uh have a good morning afternoon slash evening and uh we'll catch you guys on the next e fapp which i'm gonna say is we have no idea when it might be but hopefully soon we'll see you there goodbye everyone goodbye


Hello and welcome to MIP TV and with me as always is Bob Cook who is doing the regular book review that people have taken to their heart so thank you for that. Today we kind of haven't looked quite a pivotal book it's by Eric Byrne, Founder of the CIA, Principles of Group Treatment first published in 1967 so after his seminal book The Games People Play. And you were telling me just off camera there's something in chapter 11 which is the first thing that Byrne has actually did. Well yeah, let me say, when he created TA really which is 59 and then in 1961 his seminal book which is first book which is transaction analysis, the psychotherapy transaction analysis and he put all his major four cornerstones in script analysis, games analysis, TA proper and there you go States, that was his first book. Then you got Games People Play, then you got another book about organisations and then in this book is Principles of Group Treatment. In chapter 11 he really talks for the first time about how you do TA, how you actually do it, not all the theories which he spent most of the other books talking about but actually how you do transaction analysis and as important how you do TA in groups. How interesting because you were saying earlier that TA really found its life in groups, it starts as a group process as opposed to an individual process. He was a psychiatrist and he worked at Carmel Hospital in San Francisco and very much so he started the first TA group ever of course and the purpose of that early TA in groups was to help the clients if you like, we're going to use that language, help them function better in adult by tracing and following transactions. In other words, how people communicate with each other. Yeah basically, how to stay an adult and not to go into the unconscious or to the parent he gets there. Yes. Yeah, fascinating. As you say in chapter 11 he goes to explain the how as opposed to the why, the practice as opposed to the theory. Yeah, yeah. An interesting thing in chapter 11. I find very interesting because I've been a TA therapist and integrated purpose of 40 odd years or getting on that away. But in this book in the chapter 11 he talks, he says this, to be a real TA therapist you must go to the board, that's the white board and teach at least three or four times in an hour session. Right, so this is the client. Is the therapist say, I'll go, Eric Byrne said, to be a TA therapist you must visit the white board, I don't know if there were white boards then, I'm sure about that. You must visit the board and you must write and teach the client about parent, adult, child games and understanding of the self through that model at least three or four times. I mean, that's really important because there will be a lot of students watching this. I know we get a lot of students watch this, who may be doing comparative therapies. And it really, it really gives the idea, you've kind of made that come alive, you know, Byrne certainly did, that TA is a taught model to some extent. To taught model. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And, you know, in CBT they have individualised learning plans. Eric Byrne, I think, was the first CBT therapist and he would give all his clients homework and he would go to the board at least, as I said, three, four, five times in an hour session and provide an educative part to therapy. Yeah, yeah. We still, we still really exist to this day, doesn't it? It's still, it's still the legacy of that still lives on. The TA therapist explained the model and the process of personality and then allow the client to kind of find a way within what's taught. Yeah. Because Eric Byrne's major principle was that he wanted to help the clients strengthen their adult eager state and to understand their psychological internal process. And the best way he said to do that in chapter 11 particularly was to go to the board and teach three or four times eager states, games, rackets, script. So they have, from their adult, a knowledge of when they're in parent, adult and child. Yeah. I think that's, I think that's so useful, Bob, because, you know, I think a lot of, a lot of people who look, think of therapy, think of it as, I think it's a number of levels, some people think it's the couch. Other people think it's, as they see, maybe on the TV with, and he's one therapist working with the client's frame of reference. But it's so useful to hear you talk about TA being a taught model, that educative, giving the client the tools to be able to see how they are in the world. Yeah. And this particular book talks about how to do it as opposed to the theory. That's right. And it concentrates particularly on how you do TA in groups because TA came out of groups, like I said, aid in communication. But most of all, the therapist would help the person know when they're in parent, know when they're in child, know when they are actually transacting in an unhealthy way and teach that. And teach it. Yeah. Like what you've just said, teaching it. Well, I think it's really, really useful to hear. Who would benefit from reading this book? Students. Students would really benefit from reading this because they would understand fundamentally how TA was taught in a classical way, how it was taught in the 1960s, where Eric Byrne was coming from. This is way before the idea of relationship psychotherapy that we're so engrossed in today. Eric Byrne was actually was a CBT therapist. He did talk about how to do it. He never talked about the relationship. I think he just assumed that you would spend time building up a rapport anyway. He was much more interested in healing person in one session, two sessions, three sessions, four sessions. But teaching people an understanding of an easy accessible model where they know where they're coming from. Well, it sounds to me like a legacy book. It shows the legacy of TA, gives students a real good grounding in the fundamental principles of it. And also, with that, gives them an idea of the arc of change that's gone through TA through the years, the relationship model contracting. Big changes. The fan of education. I'm really glad you put it that way. Because if people watching this video go away, I want them to remember that he was an educator as well as a therapist. Yes, it's something that sometimes gets lost in the translation and the idea that the kind of formative part of the theory was the key part of it as opposed to the restrative is very interesting. So as usual, we'll put a link in the bar below so you can inspect this book. And also, at the end, we'll give you a picture of the book. As Bob said, well worth visiting just for historical context and to see how the arc of therapy, TA therapy, has changed through the years. As always, Bob isn't being paid for this. This is just Bob sharing his love of literature and his enormous knowledge of the world of therapy. So as always, Bob, it's always a pleasure and thank you very much.


So therefore I've seen who's a liar to that brilliant away performance and in the victory to go with it as well today Yeah, I thought first half okay, even Stephens scored a great goal The second half for really really good today I thought we spoke to the lads about the second half against scum thought which wasn't the disastrous performance But scum thought I thought played more intent than us in that 45 minutes period against Chesterfield when it was almost if we thought my run a good run the result would take care of Football don't work like that. You've got to make it happen with it with your level of performance and today in that second 45 minutes I thought we're absolutely magnificent in two great well-worked goals as well first half and second half Yeah, two really good footballing goals from us first one mark As put a great steps to the great ball up to the back stick for big hands And he's not gonna miss from that situation and the second one was a good team goal and pleased with flip my eyes to finish off We had other chances that to kill the game off Couldn't quite say them But getting that second goal gives a breathing space and apart from the lad hitting the post I thought it was comfortable and obviously during the time to return and getting the first goal It's nice to see him in back in the mix as well on his return. Yeah I thought all around today you played really well, you know Speed to about and that salty in his performance and I thought he did that so well today You know guided headers in the people chest the ball back to midfield and he is all around such in general play It was really really good. I think people forget how well he was playing before he got injured. He was as good as any striker in the division and We've had a good run without him in the team. He's waited patiently But to have him the call on when Billy Clark was out is great for us and I'm pleased with him today


So having preferences is having this ordering of thoughts going on. Yes. It's a sure sign. Yes. If I've got preferences that I'm ordering my thoughts in ranking. And this can seem to be very overwhelming. It can seem to be like, well, now I know this is too big of a job for me guys. You better work on this person over here. Because preferences, they run so deep. They run right down to the core of this personhood idea. For every person there seems to be an enormous number of preferences and likes and dislikes.  Know what you like. Know what you like. Know what you want. Know what you don't want and be clear. And at this point we can say that it's truly important to focus on forgiveness. Focus on that one intent. To focus on watching the thoughts and slowly pulling away from them and investing in them. But the joy of following the Holy Spirit as these thoughts become unordered, so to speak. Undone. That the constructed order becomes undone. That this is a process of following the joy. Following the joy in the joy of connecting. The joy that comes from not judging. It's so strong and so intense that these preferences fade away. That the temptation of course hearing that these preferences are all part of the ego concept would be to go alright I'm going to stop this instant. Make it with all these preferences. And there can be some level confusion in there with you start trying to change the form. And for instance quit your preference for smoking or for coffee or whatever without having the mind shift on the inside. Without following the joy and allowing these preferences and desires to fade as the mind gets focused on its one function. Without this then the level confusion can creep in and we're back to changing behaviors and without changing the mind letting go of the false beliefs. A question that came to my mind before when you were speaking of you know the fact that this body is not immoral. But the ego I think would love to have me believe that it could be. And there is the belief that the body can be immortal. I can remember believing it. I can remember very much like being very excited about that whole idea that the body is immortal. And it seemed very logical to me when I was learning about this that that in fact is the case. That it's only the mind's belief that it's not immortal that would have it die. Yes. Well if we take it really string it out. I mean the ego is for something that's nothing. It has the very much the illusion of being very ingenious. And that's certainly the experience in the world. It seems to have made up a world, a giant cosmos apart from spirit and apart from abstract union. And it seems to have great diversity, great variety. There seems to be great amounts of different skills. Many different choices and menus and to pick from. And it's in the sense of projection. Now part of the projection is we have televisions and video camcorders and VCRs and it's like making movies within movies. The movie of the world is one movie and then within the movie of the world we have another projection. The fragmentation continues and just seeming smaller in pieces. But the one thing that the ego has tried to come up with, has tried to answer, be an answer to heaven is the characteristic or the ideal of immortality. And it has and of course never will be able to mimic or to create immortality. Because immortality is an attribute of God and of creation. And the ego is a defense against that, is literally a puff of nothingness that did not come from God that is not immortal. The ego seemed to have a beginning and it will seem to have an end. But this is all within the fabric or the framework of the dream. So the ego has never been able to come up with immortality, to develop immortality. But it doesn't stop it from at least having the idea of immortality. Of the idea that the body can be made to live forever. And once again, if the body is form, form and spirit have no reconciliation, have no meeting point. One spirit exists and form and time and space do not exist. So in the very nature of form is that it's finite, that it's not eternal, cannot therefore be immortal. It has boundaries. Every form has boundaries and limits. And God and creation do not. I remember one of the things I learned about at that time was about this person Babaji in Indian belief. And he seemed to be proof for the fact that the body is immortal. Because it seemed that he would be around for periods of time and he would dematerialize. And would not be around for periods of time. And then he would rematerialize and stay for a while and then dematerialize. And I suppose this has been going on for quite some time now.  That the body can be immortal if it's held in the mind that way. Just to perceive a body or a vision, though, it gets back to perception. In the sense that this can be a symbol for many, it can be a very comforting symbol. It can be a symbol as a sense of the symbol of teaching. That those who have completely laid aside the body, their thoughts are always available to the deceived mind as a part of help. And their vision may appear from time to time if that would be helpful. If this is something that obviously the Holy Spirit can reach the deceived mind in many, many ways. And these are nothing more than symbols of seeing the Virgin Mary in the Catholic tradition over in Montagori. And these are more examples of visions that can be seen that can be helpful, but still are perceptions. So you're saying it's still perceptual, so it's still unreal. It's just that it's helpful and it's reaching the mind where it is. Yes. The error would be to make the connection that you were doing, because it seems to have been around for a long time that it seems to be immortal. And once again, the knowledge or the kingdom of heaven is purely abstract. It's light, not light like the bodies I see, but light in the sense of understanding and wisdom. And darkness being a metaphor in the sense for ignorance or a blockage of not aware of that light. So this knowledge and the kingdom are abstract in any kind of perception. However pure, however stabilized the perception becomes, it still is not knowledge, not the abstract kingdom. It's still perceptual and temporary and will not last. To finish up on a point about the ego uses the body for pride, for pleasure and for attack, they're all the same. You could say they're all pride and pleasure are seeming forms of attack. The mind that believes that it has identified with the ego, that is an attack thought. That is an attack on the Christ within that mind, even though it has no basis in reality. It's given reality by the mind's acceptance of that thought in that framework. It's to the mind. It seems real. And all these uses of the body, whether we talk about for pride or recognition, personal self or for pleasure and pain and so on and so forth, that this is all, the attraction of guilt is all a way of concealing the belief in the mind, the belief in separation and keeping the mind distracted on the screen and everything. So in that sense, they're all, it comes down to attack thoughts. That, you know, the body, the uses that the ego puts to the body, this is all part of attack thoughts. Now, if we pull it back to the ultimate sense to the right mind and perception, the mind cannot attack. That these thoughts are unreal thoughts. Even these thoughts that are called attack thoughts in the workbook are unreal thoughts. These are thoughts that have not come from the mind of God. They do not exist. Only the thoughts that come from God have existence. So to speak of attack thoughts is just a manner of speaking, is it worth? Yes, but they are unreal and a mind that is invested in them is deceived and will experience the hallucination of pain and upset and despair and sorrow and depression and so forth. Fear, because it is invested in thoughts, in a thought system that does not come from God. So once again, though the right mind sees that attack is literally impossible, it sees the false as false. It is not invested in these thoughts, it sees them as false and knows them as false. And this is no different than saying that the Holy Spirit sees the false ideas as false beliefs but looks to the altar, looks to the atonement, looks to the undefiled altar and is certain of the Christ, always looks to the Christ. So this is an example of, in a sense, coming full circle to your question about sickness of why sickness is impossible. The mind cannot attack. The mind is whole and the mind cannot attack. It can make up fantasies and it can direct the body to act out fantasies, but the mind cannot attack. And it would have to attack in order for sickness to be a reality. The right mind knows that the mind cannot attack. The Holy Spirit knows that attack literally is impossible. That the ego is an impossible thought, that all of the ego thoughts are impossible thoughts and unreal. So it is anchored in that. So in a sense there is a part in the Course that is a reminder when one believes one is sick or so forth is that I am not a body and my mind cannot attack, so I cannot be sick. That if there is no identification with the body and it's recognized and clearly understood that the mind cannot attack then with those two conditions there is no justification for guilt. There is no attack. There is no body with which to identify with or attack with, so to speak. And therefore the conditions of peace have been met because the conditions of guilt are no longer in place. If I believe that I am a body or I believe that I am in a body and I believe that my mind or even my body can attack and the attack is real then guilt must follow and guilt must be justified. So you can see where working back to the right mind and being miracle minded and staying in the right mind brings about automatically inner peace. We've talked before about in addition to perceiving my body as sick I can perceive the body of another as sick. But in either case it's just an indication that...


This study examined the role of long non-coding RNA01534, LINK01534 in colorectal cancer, CRC. It was found that silencing LINK01534 suppressed cell proliferation, invasiveness, and cell cycle progression at the G2M phase and promoted apoptosis. Additionally, it was discovered that silencing LINK01534 suppressed cancer stemness while it activated the ER stress response, especially through the PERC slash EIF2 alpha signaling pathway. Furthermore, LINK01534 was found to be expressed in tumor cells and upregulated in CRC tissues compared to normal epithelium. A survival survey indicated that high LINK01534 expression was significantly associated with shorter overall survival in 187 CRC patients. These results suggest that LINK01534 may be an important modulator of the maintenance of cancer stemness and suppression of the ER stress response and that it could be a novel prognostic factor in CRC.

is Belinda Venom. She's going to tell us about Cloud Made Simple with Serverless Python. Let's give her a round of applause. Can you guys hear me? Okay, perfect. So my name is Belinda Venom. I'm a developer advocate and software developer at IBM. Right now my current focus is on both cloud and serverless. Prior to this role I was a software developer on the IBM Cloud Functions project which is based on top of Apache Open. Oh, it's going to come in. Based on top of Apache Open LISC. So who here has heard of serverless? Okay, cool. Most people. Is anyone using serverless in their projects? Okay, so less people. Anyone like projects in production with serverless? Okay, so same people. Awesome. Today we're going to talk about some of the benefits of serverless and then we'll also check out a real-life use case and then I'll show you guys a quick demo of running some Python code on a serverless platform. So let's say I've been working on a project and I'm ready to play my code out to the top. In the past, me or someone else in my company might have needed to purchase bare metal servers to run my application on. You have to manage the security updates for the servers, install all the required software and keep the hardware up to date. Then virtual machines came into the picture, right? We were able to let someone else like Amazon or Ratspace start to manage those machines for us when we just get a virtual machine to run our application on. You'd still have to manage the operating system and the software dependencies of your application, but you didn't need to physically own or house those servers anymore. Even more recently, we've had containers enter the scene where we're only managing the application code and its dependencies. We package everything up into a container. We give that container to the platform to be running. So that means a lot easier, but we're still managing some of the infrastructure there. We need to manage our own runtime and our own application dependencies. Building a container to run your application on is still somewhat manual process that could still be abstracted away. So software developers really need to focus on that core business logic and not get distracted by infrastructure management or configuration. And these abstractions are ultimately what serverless or functions as a service offerings are promising you. So the execution environment for the code is provided for me as a developer, and my code can just be run in response to events or in response to actions that I care about. So I should note I'm positing this as an evolution, but all these models are still available today and they might even still be the right choice depending on what problem you're trying to solve or what your requirements are. So you'll notice on the x-axis it says decreasing concern over your stack implementation, but it's also decreasing control. So if there's a security vulnerability or environment update that you need to make, you have to wait for the platform provider to make that required environment update. So if you need that additional control, one of the others might still be the right option for you. So I think this is a really just another nice way to visualize the increasing levels of abstraction. So as we're moving through each of the deployment models, we're seeing less and less that the end user is responsible for. So on the far left we have on-prem where you have your own machines and you're managing everything, and then we go through infrastructures as a service, platform as a service, and then ultimately functions as a service where you literally only write, manage, and deal with functions. So these changing deployment models have also affected how we write and think about our application. We used to write code as these big monolithic applications. The entire application gets deployed as one unit, and introducing any new code changes needs a completely new deployment of the full application, even if you're only changing one or two lines. So from there, we moved more to this microservices paradigm. We started to break that monolithic application into various services that are communicating with each other over RESTful APIs. In a store application, for example, you might have a microservice that manages the accounts for your users, one for placing orders, and one for maybe managing interactions with your shipping company. So you can deploy each of those microservices either as an application on a pad solution, like a platform as a service solution, or maybe you deploy each one of those microservices into your own containers. And then finally, as we've moved more towards this function as a service model, there's been further decoupling and shrinking of the size of the unit of code. So instead of creating microservices, we can literally just write functions that we want to deploy to the cloud. And each of those functions have the goal of doing one thing and doing that one thing really well, perhaps in reaction to a particular event. So as we said, serverless promises that you can just spend your time writing business logic that has a direct positive impact to your users and not focus on the configuration or management of VMs. Even though it's called serverless, yes, there are servers, but the idea is you don't have to see them or deal with them. So from a developer's perspective, the functions as a service platform is going to provide a runtime and an execution environment for the code that they're writing. So you just write the code and then the serverless platform runs it for you in the cloud on demand and within milliseconds. And this may be actually abstracted away from you, so you typically won't see it. But usually what's happening under the covers is the code is ultimately being run on a container in the cloud provider's environment. So one of the goals of serverless is to provide developers with scalability out of the box. So let's say that you have a set of APIs and you've represented each of those API endpoints as different functions. Maybe, you know, suddenly your app gets featured on Reddit, you have millions of requests from your UI to these back end API endpoints. The only thing that's going to happen is that the platform will start up multiple instances of the back end API code to process those requests in parallel. And it kind of gives you that horizontal scaling for free without any additional programming or server management from you. So we talked about your code scaling out or up to end instances when it's required, but it also scales back down to zero when it's not being used. So what that means, from an app developer's perspective is that you're not paying for the time that your code is not being run. So you're only charged for the amount of time your code is actively running or doing some work. So you're no longer paying for that idle time. You have to do the testing like for your particular scenario. But this can actually mean really big cost savings compared to having a server up 100% of the time. So it really just depends on the project and depends on the workload, but it can be really good cost savings. Other promises, most serverless solutions provide support for some kind of event-driven scenario. So this is literally anything where an event happens and you want to react to that by some code. Some examples like maybe you have a new user who signs up to your app, and that results in their information being stored in your customer's database. And then you want to execute some logic in response to that new database item. So maybe send them a welcome email or do some processing of their input data. You have like a user uploads an image to the app. Maybe you want to generate a thumbnail as soon as that image is stored in your object store. You can do other things, sentiment analysis on text that a user has input, literally anything you just want your code to react to a particular event. So typically serverless platforms are going to provide that infrastructure for you to easily react to those events with your code. So many of the cloud platforms offer a number of different services you can integrate with your applications. So these are things like artificial intelligence, IoT platforms, object storage or databases. So think of some of the things you can do if you connect up with, like I'm from IBM, so the Watson APIs or maybe the Alexa APIs from Amazon, using those in conjunction with your application. Most of the serverless solutions provided by the various cloud providers really want to make that connection very seamless. They're really incentivized for you to go off and use their other services, right? So if you're using their platform, they want to make it super easy for you to connect up with their various services. So I think as you're looking at, you know, maybe moving some workloads over to serverless, definitely look into what integrations are provided, see what other services you can easily and seamlessly connect up to and react to. So ultimately, all of these promises are trying to achieve this overarching goal of decreased time to market. They're all attempting to help developers focus on just business value and the value to the users and not on infrastructure or configuration. I really like this quote from serverless.com. It says, serverless abstracts away the most menial parts of building an application, leaving developers free to actually spend their days coding. So I think that's kind of the dream of serverless that people are hoping to realize.  First one is like web application backends. So you have a front end and it's making some calls to some back end APIs. Each of those end points for APIs can be functions that are created in a serverless platform. A mobile back end is super similar to the web application use case, except the front end is mobile. Internet of things, so just because a lot of the serverless platforms can help you connect up with some kind of IoT platform on the provider's top. Scheduled tasks, so let's say you maybe have some code that you want to run once a week or maybe once a month. You can set up a chronological trigger for that code to be spun up on maybe Wednesdays to run and then after it finishes it spins back down. You're no longer being charged for those resources that are being used. So you don't have to have the server up all week just to do that, just to run that code once a week. Conversational scenarios, so this is things like chat clients where you maybe want to do some additional processing on the chats they're coming through. So like maybe translating the text or filtering out bad words or doing some other other processing on that text. And then finally data processing. So this is literally anything where you get that new item in your data store and you want to react to that with some kind of processing. So this can be things like normalizing audio inputs, image resizing, address verification, anything like that. So today I wanted to quickly check out a real-life use case on a mobile backend architecture. So you can kind of start to get an idea for how you might architect your serverless apps. So the application I'm going to talk about is called Weather Gods. This is kind of cool creative way for people to interact with the weather. I think it's like $2.99 on the app store and they have this kind of creative way to interact with the weather. So the weather is represented as various gods.  There's an ice god for winter weather, water god for rain and precipitation, et cetera. I think there's like six gods. Maybe I can't keep up with them all. But users can click through the various weather events or they can subscribe to specific notifications. So I actually used to live here in Austin. So when I was living here I think it's pretty unlikely that I would subscribe to notifications for high UV since that's basically all the time. It was always high here. But downtown where I lived there would sometimes be flooding issues or sometimes there would be like hail here. So I'd probably go ahead and describe to like water god notifications or ice god notifications. That's kind of how the app works. This is the architecture for how they did their back end. Obviously they have a mobile front end that interacts with this back end which isn't pictured there. Oh no actually this is over on the right. So each of the little green functions are the functions that they created. I mean I'll kind of quickly walk you guys through this and then we'll take us that back to talk about why they chose serverless. So the first thing that happens is they have this chronological trigger that's going to query a subset of their users which are stored in a Calcino SQL DB. And then the group scanner action is going to determine the locations and weather conditions that those particular users are interested in. Then the next action is just a weather checker and that makes a call out to the weather channel data service. Parsis that parsis and handles the data that it gets back gets it into the right format for their next action and goes ahead and writes that into the weather database. And then as weather gets updated into the database that will trigger a scanner for each user that's interested in that particular type of data. So let's say a user is interested in snow in New York and rain in Austin. Only those two scanners are invoked for that particular user. The scanners are running parallel so that gives them some performance benefits and then of course they're also able to scale up and back down independently. And then once the scanner finds interesting data for the user it'll send a notification using the push notification service. So what about this architecture makes it a really nice fit for a serverless. There's a few different points I want to highlight. Integrated platform services. So they were able to really easily consume some services from their cloud platform. In this case a notification service, a database as a service and the weather company data API. So those are all pieces that they don't have to rate. They were just consuming some services. They were also able to regularly schedule their code to run a reaction to a trigger every three minutes. A bunch of their code was running in reaction to events. So they want to run weather checks when a new user location is updated. They wanted to react to new users in their database. And of course whenever there's a new weather item of interest they want to react to that as well. And then finally they had the really nice scanner section where the code could be executed in parallel and independently. So if a ton of their users are only interested in rain, then that rain scanner code can be scaled up independently of the other events. Alternatively, like let's say no one's interested in a particular weather event, that code's not being called. So ultimately they're not being charged for it. So finding those elements of your application where you can really benefit from running in parallel and scaling out independently can make a good use case for a serverless for that particular case. And then the last thing I wanted to highlight about weather guards in particular is they didn't actually start out as a fully serverless backend like this. And they already had there out of them and they realized, okay certain pieces of this would actually benefit from being run on a serverless platform. And so they kind of transitioned those elements over piece by piece kind of as it made sense for them. So let's say you're ready to write your next serverless app. How do you get started? So you have some options. These are some of the major players in this space and listed them in alphabetical order. So the first one is Azure Functions from Microsoft. They have a Python runtime but it's currently in preview. So it hasn't fully become general availability yet, but I would assume that because it's in preview they're heading that direction. Lambda from Amazon supports Python out of the box. Apache OpenLisk. So this is an open source Apache incubator project. And this would be really nice. Maybe if you need something open source or you want to host and manage your own instance of a serverless platform for the rest of your company. IBM Cloud Functions is based on OpenLisk and it's basically just managed and hosted OpenLisk on IBM Cloud. And it also supports Python out of the box. And this is the one that we'll check out in a demo in a couple of minutes. And finally I know a little less about it, but I think it would be interesting to check out Python anywhere. So I did a few minutes just kind of checking it out and playing with it. It seems like it's a little more focused on web hosting and education use cases, but I think it's just kind of a good one to highlight and check out. So let's take a quick peek at what a function might look like. You can see a really simple example up here. It should look familiar. It looks like Python code. So it's a straightforward hello world function and it's just going to check and see if it got named passed in as a parameter. If not it'll return hello stranger. Otherwise it's going to return hello with the name that was passed in. So for OpenLisk and IBM Cloud functions, the expected input and output is JSON. So you can tie your various functions together with JSON. So let's say you have three functions in a sequence. The first one outputs some JSON. That will be the input for the next one. That'll output some JSON which will be the input for the next one. So that's how you kind of tie them together. And then the expected entry point is just a function named main. So you can have other functions defined in the file. But main is the expected entry point. So we'll see kind of a quick live demo of this in action. Like I said, I'll be using IBM Cloud functions which is managed OpenLisk. You can really take these and apply it to any serverless platform you want. So it should look and feel very similar to a lot of the other serverless platforms. So for our example, we'll say we have this image. It's really cute puppy image. And we'll say that it's getting uploaded to our cloud object storage or database from a mobile app or UI. And we want to react to this uploaded image by running some code. So in our case, maybe we want to do some image analysis. So what's actually in the image? So if we upload this really cute puppy picture, we want to see an output like Bernie's Mountain Dog or Dog or Animal. So this is an architecture diagram for how we might create something like this. When there's a new image URL that's uploaded into the database, that should trigger an action to get run. In this case, I divided that action into two separate functions. So one function is responsible for reading the changes that occurred in the database. That's the read changes from DB action. And then that action will parse the changes, output the URL to a new image in the database, and then hand that URL off to the get tags action. So then to get tags action, we'll actually make a call out to a visual recognition service, do some parsing of the return value, and hopefully output what it believes is in our image. So this is a really simple use case, but you could definitely continue building on this, right? You could save tags back into the database. You could add an action for compressing a really large image if you use or upload something too large. You could do things like handling video uploads by creating another function that breaks apart the video into multiple frames and then running the get tags on each frame. And that would be able to scale up kind of independently. Each of my functions gets scaling out of the box, so I don't have to do anything special. So let's check this out. This is going to be live, so fingers crossed. So this is just our get tags action that I talked about earlier. She looks super familiar with some Python code that we have. And I'm going to kind of walk through a couple pieces of it. So the first thing that's happening is we're going to pull in this visual recognition SDK. So what that should imply to you is that visual recognition SDK is provided as a part of the runtime. So it's just already there in the runtime. And then we're going to do a couple of things. I need to instantiate that with an API key and a version number. The API key will actually pull in from parameters for this action. So we should be able to pass in parameters into our action. In this particular case, that API key doesn't change. So I can actually store it as a stored parameter for this particular action. So if we click on parameters, you see, okay, I've got this API key that's stored in here and it'll just be safe for that action. I'll make sure I revoke that right after this. And then the next thing is that we'll want to pass in an image URL. So that's the image that we want to get the tags for. And then finally, we'll make a call out to that visual recognition.classify right here. And then we'll just do a little bit of parsing of the return data because it has some info in there that we don't care about. And then we'll print out the tags. So let's try that out. This is our little puppy picture. So it's cute. And if we do change input, we can go in here and make sure we have that image in there and it is, we can click apply. So we're passing this in as a parameter. And then if we click invoke, we should hopefully see, yes, so we see some tags back. So it says puppy, dog, laboratory, retriever dog, retriever dog, golden retriever dog. So just some different tags of what the visual recognition service thinks is in that image. But that's not all we want it to do. We actually said we want it to react to the image when there's a new image stored in the database, right? So let's see how we set that up. This is inside of a sequence. And that sequence contains two actions. So there's the read from database action and then there's the get tags action.  So if we go down connect to triggers, we can see, okay, there's this cloud and image trigger. So anytime a new item gets added to the comment database, then that trigger will be fired. So let's try that out really quick. So I'll grab this image. And then I already have the comment open. I've, oh, I want to see it log in again. So you can see I already have a database created called my image URLs. I can create a new document in here. So I'm just going to create image URL. And I'm trying to fly. And then I'll just like create document. And then what that's going to do hopefully is cause my trigger to fire, which will then kick off that sequence. The first action was to read from the cloud database whatever changes happen. And then the second action was to get the tags. So if we go over here and go to the little monitor tab, hopefully we should see that it was called. Yeah. And so at 11 o'clock we can see, I don't know how to make this bear, but we can see that the trigger was fired at 11. There was a sequence that was called and then the read action and then they get tags action. And each action has an activation ID associated with it. So if we click that activation ID we should be able to see the results in there. So we have the logs just printing out and then of course the various tags. That's just a little bit and actually that worked live demo. I was getting nervous. Oh, let me stop mirroring. Okay, perfect. So I don't want too much time left, but I did want to quickly highlight. I wanted to highlight one of the Python specific libraries that's out there. It's called Pyren. So what it does, it has this goal of making a really easy pushed cloud experience for Python developers. So maybe if you have like a super parallel workload and a parallel workload is something where you have little or no effort that's needed to kind of separate the problem into these number of parallel tasks. So common examples might be like 3D video rendering handled by GPU, where you want to run some code for each frame or maybe for each pixel if you're doing ray tracing and those can all be handled without any interdependency between them. So Pyren is this library where you can take your Python workloads, scale it out into multiple functions to be run on a serverless platform. So really their goal, like I said, is to simplify that pushed-to-cloud experience and you can run your algorithm against the cluster of machines without needing to figure out like how do I set that up or how do I have those machines talk to each other, how do I get the results back. Pyren was originally built for Amazon Lambda. It's also available for IBM Cloud Functions. So go check out this article to learn a little bit more. It talks about using Pyren for scenarios where you have a lot of data processing to do. The two examples they talk about were really large datasets like solar flares which can help predict storms that can hammer power or satellite operations. And then they also talked about just the sheer volume of data and looking at like how neurons combining to create behaviors or disease or cognition. And their big goal is to really easily give access to parallel computing to data scientists and others. There's another article you can check out. Like I said, it's built for Amazon Lambda and has recently been ported to IBM Cloud Functions. So this article is about using Pyren for running stock market predictions through the money-car-low method. So it uses Pyren to scale out and then combine the results from those simultaneously running predictions. So that's all I had. Just a couple quick notes. You can go check out IBM Cloud Functions. The first link and then the last link is for the Apache OpenMess project. So if you're looking for a new open source project to be a contributor on, it's a really fun one. The community is really nice. So that's all. Thank you so much.
