Well, hello and welcome everybody to an OpenShift Commons briefing. We're repeating what we do every Kubernetes release is try and coerce Clayton Coleman who's our lead architect for OpenShift and lots of other things Kubernetes related at Red Hat. And we've just gotten Kubernetes 1.7 out the door. I think sometime late last night, the SIG release team posted it. So it is up and out and ready for consumption. So very timely that we get this update from Clayton. And so the format we're going to do is going to let Clayton do his presentation. You can ask questions in the chat. There's lots of people on the call. So we may get some of them answered during the chat. But the good questions or and then we'll open it up for Q&A at the end and we'll read those out and get those in. This recording should be up by the end of day today on blog.OpenShift.com and you'll be making it available as quickly as we can because we know you're all interested in this. So without any further ado, Clayton, why don't you introduce yourself and take it away. Great. Thank you. So my name is Clayton Colman. I'm Diane Medchick. I'm a Kubernetes and OpenShift architect at Red Hat. I have been working on Kubernetes since the very beginning and this is a very exciting release for us. There's a ton of both great new features as well as changes coming to Kubernetes that make it even more of a platform. So I broke the features I'll talk about today are just a taste of what's coming in Kubernetes 1.7. There's a huge number of bug fixes, performance improvements, practical real world problems that people have hit on all of the different platforms that Kubernetes runs on. I wanted to talk about kind of four top level themes. These are part of the ongoing evolution of Kubernetes, making sure that as a platform and as a place to run containerized applications that Kubernetes keeps getting better and better, that the Kubernetes community becomes stronger and that other people in the world can not just run Kubernetes but can also extend and enhance Kubernetes to solve their own problems and to solve challenges that they face that not everybody else may have. So the four arcs are runtime, which typically deals with the core of the system, security, extensibility and running applications. And as we go through, I'm going to start by talking about extensibility because I think when it comes down to it, that's the key change in Kubernetes 1.7. If you walk away today with one thought is that our goal, both at Red Hat and the broader Kubernetes community, is to make Kubernetes a platform that is extensible, that can be extended in all sorts of ways to add new capabilities to be easier to develop against and to be more modular to allow people to disable and disassemble Kubernetes and reassemble it in the ways they'd like to enable powerful integrations like OpenShift to run on top of Kubernetes, as well as to make it easy for administrators and integrators to plug their own policy into Kubernetes. And so there's four features that I wanted to call out here in Kubernetes 1.7. They're all in alpha or beta that deal with how we extend Kubernetes as a platform. So the first, many people who've worked with Kubernetes may have heard about third-party resources. This is an alpha feature that has existed since at least Kubernetes 1.2. And in this release, we took the feedback from a large number of people in the community, worked with people who had built extensions using third-party resources, and tried to get all of the requirements captured, all of our lessons learned with third-party resources, get it boiled down into something that we believe we can support going forward. And so in Kubernetes 1.7, the third-party resource is being transitioned to beta under the new name Custom Resource Definitions. So if you can see on the right, the name has changed. A few of the fields have changed. There's a ton of underlying work in Kubernetes that makes third-party resources more stable, that deals with challenges like upgrading third-party resources over time. And all of these improvements are specifically designed so that when people build extensions to Kubernetes and when people run extensions on type of Kubernetes, that they can support those over the long term. For those who aren't familiar with third-party resources, in a sense they're just like adding a new API to Kubernetes with the minimum possible amount of work. So you can give a name of a resource and as an administrator, install that when that becomes enabled. An end user who has permission to create those can go and request those. There's not a lot of control or structure in those. They're designed to be ad hoc. They're designed to be easy to set up and install. And there's a number of community projects that have latched on to third-party resources to store the API definitions that make up their extension. And so we have left room in third-party resources for future enhancement. We do think that over time third-party resources under their new ages of custom resource definition will become more powerful. We'd like to add more features. But this is typically the place where extensibility to Kubernetes starts. It's the easiest way to get started. But it doesn't necessarily capture all the use cases. And so a second feature that we've added in Kubernetes 1.7 is part of work that was in a very alpha form in Kubernetes 1.6. But it is the ability to register and define new APIs that actually have a backend that is implemented in code. And so the difference between API extension and registration and the custom resource is the custom resource is entirely provided by the end users of custom resources. No validation. There's no external logic preventing changes to these APIs. But on the flip side, as you begin to develop an API, you may find that you want to impose more policy. You may want to define validation rules in source code. And so API registration allows you to implement those APIs and then plug them into a Kubernetes server. So the API is registered with the Kubernetes API server and the Kubernetes API server will act as a proxy to that newly defined API. And in a sense, if a custom resource is about an end user perhaps not having to bring code but able to quickly iterate on their new policy object, the API registration path is more when someone has written in code a fairly powerful API service. And we think of custom resources as the place that you start. And in many cases as Kubernetes grows as more people build APIs that extend Kubernetes or offer new features alongside Kubernetes that the second mechanism of registration will be how the vast majority of them end up implementing. In the diagram you can, as a concrete example, if I registered a new API called my API, I would define where that server is. And the expectation is that something that could run on Kubernetes as a service, but it could also run off Kubernetes if necessary. When a client talks to Kubernetes to find out what the list of APIs that Kubernetes supports, Kubernetes will return not just for instance the apps v1 beta one group, which is a part of the core Kubernetes project today, but it also returns that custom API group. A client would then talk to the CUBE API server and it would receive the request proxy through the server. When we think about how this will evolve, much of the work that we've done in OpenShift to enable Kubernetes to be a true platform, we've looked at it through how OpenShift resources might plug in to Kubernetes. And so OpenShift offers a number of APIs above and beyond Kubernetes. Some of those are parallels to features that are starting to reach GA in Kubernetes like deployments and ingress for routes and deployment configs. But other of those like builds, image streams, templates, and a number of the OpenShift policy objects have no equivalent in Kubernetes. And so we think about this custom API extension as a way for someone like OpenShift who has built an API that works very well natively with CUBE and being able to simply and easily run that both on top of CUBE and plug into CUBE. So over the next few releases of Kubernetes and OpenShift, we expect to see this used by more production grade extensions. And custom resources will still be available for end users to use when they're prototyping. And they'll always be a trade-off in terms of whether you want something that's simpler and easier to install or whether you're looking to build more complex policy and things that aren't quite possible without writing code. Each of those will complement each other to kind of give the both sides of how do you add new capabilities to a Kubernetes server. And along those lines, it's not just in Kubernetes, APIs are kind of the heart of the system. Each of the Kubernetes APIs is about a simple declarative representation of some concept like a service or a pod. Kubernetes also has declarative resources for things like policy. So the RBAC engine in Kubernetes is a set of declarative resources. Quota is a set of declarative resources. One of our goals is if Kubernetes has simple APIs that are fairly declarative, often there are rules and policies that need to be imposed on top of that. A large chunk of how OpenShift extends Kubernetes today is to add a large set of policy that makes Kubernetes a fully multi-tenant system. And so when we talk about what it would take to turn Kubernetes into a true platform, a real key goal and a common request is to allow policy decisions that are made when an end user submits an application to Kubernetes to be delegated to an integration or an extension that a team may run for specific use cases. In Kubernetes 1.7, there's a new alpha feature that is broadly characterized as extensible admission control. Every time you submit a resource to a Kubernetes server, if you create a pod or a service, define an ingress or a deployment, there is an internal bit of code that runs, which is called the admission chain. This applies policy like Quota and pod security policy, as well as a number of other things that have developed over time, like calling out to see whether images are allowed to be run on the cluster. And that is all code that is compiled into Kubernetes. Starting in Kubernetes 1.7, there is a new admission control plugin that can call out to additional servers in the process of accepting it. In the example in the slide, I'm showing an end user creating a pod. The API server calls that internal chain, some of those initial ones run like pod security policy or image policy, and then the generic external admission plugin will take a set of registered extension webhooks that could be running on the server, could be running as a function as a service endpoint, could be running as a microservice. Really just a simple call out that takes the information about the pod that's being created and sends it to each of the external hooks. Each of those external hooks gets an opportunity to accept or reject the request. And so in the example here, these three example webhooks I might choose, webhook one is recording that user A requested creating this pod in an external system such as an audit chain. Webhook two is verifying that there's no secrets in the environment variables. So it's looking for something that says underscore password, and it's just going to say, by policy in my company, we don't allow people to set secrets in environment variables. Webhook two actually rejects the request and webhook three, which is called at the same time because we call these in parallel, might do a check against LDAP to say, you know, does the user creating this pod have access to run this service account on this particular system or to use this image, so a more sophisticated policy engine and what is possible in communities. Because one of the three webhooks failed, the entire request is failed. And so the admission chain would stop and the user would get an error. Now, this is a somewhat contrived example. But if you followed along with the development of this feature in Kubernetes in Kubernetes today, we have about 10 or 15 built-in admission controllers that can be optionally enabled. Those cover things like pod security policy. They cover node placement policy, allowing you to set annotations on a namespace that control what node selectors are allowed on pods. OpenShift adds about 40 more admission controllers. Kind of our goal here is on a regular Kubernetes cluster. It should be possible to add in new admission control as easily as adding new APIs. And this feature is alpha. It's still in its initial phases in cube one seven. But over time, we expect to build a set of standard webhook code and examples that make it easy. For instance, for individual operations teams who want to impose specific policies to build their plug-in hooks in a fairly simple manner. There's some performance cost that comes along with making these call-outs. But in general, we found that for most use cases, this flexibility is one of the most important extension points for Kubernetes. Because it's not just about running applications. It's about knowing what is running and being able to control some of the aspects of that. And as a kind of the fourth part of this extension, we talked about adding new APIs. We talked about adding new policy. A fourth part of extensibility coming in cube one seven in an alpha form is the ability to add new CLI extensions. So the cube control command now supports a very simple plug-in extension mechanism. A plug-in can be registered via a file in user's home directory or in a standard location on Linux systems. That plug-in identifies a name and a description as well as a command to run. And when a user in cube control invokes, for instance, in the example of my plug-in command, it delegates down and calls echohelloplugins, which outputs that back to the UI. We envision this being a way for new capabilities specifically around workflows to be added to cube control. So if there is a specific new API resource that gets added through API extension, that needs some form of command-like tool to make useful. For instance, a policy object that is fairly complex for an end user to create. A plug-in extension to cube control might be created that offers a helpful flow for setting up that policy object the first time. And there's a lot of other work going on. I'm just scratching the surface of the extensibility to both CLI and the cube API. There's a lot of other work going on in the covers to make extensions even more powerful, to deliver, to make cube control a great way to manage not just the resources that ship out of the box with Kubernetes, but extensions that people bring to the platform. And you'll see more of those in the cube 1.8 and 1.9 releases. So moving on from extensibility, security was another big arc in the 1.7 release. Red Hat takes security very seriously. And we've been not just working to ensure that people can run fully multi-tenant systems through the work that we've done with RBAC authentication and the pod security policies to control who can use what host-level resources. One of the common requests that we've gotten is to make it easier to keep secret data in the platform encrypted. The cube 1.7 and OpenShift 3.6 will both include this feature. And in its core form, the ability to encrypt at rest in the SED database secrets as well as other resources that the user may want to encrypt. For instance, if you have an extension resource that also contains secret data, you may wish to provide this configuration for that as well. When a user submits a secret to the Kubernetes API, we'll take that. We'll look at the encryption config and then encrypt that using either AES, CBC or the secret box standards for encryption. There's some documentation on the trade-offs. Our goal was, even though in general, we still think that whole disk encryption is the best possible way to ensure that your backups don't go walkabout. We did want to offer an out-of-the-box way for administrators to, at least in the short term, isolate and encrypt secrets at an extra level. These secrets, of course, all of the existing characteristics of a Kubernetes system are still preserved. Secrets are always encrypted over the wire and are never stored on disk. This just adds an extra layer to the secrets from the SED servers. There's a number of recommendations that we've made in this release on how secrets can be more adequately controlled. Work coming in future releases is going to include better integration with external secret providers like Vaults and other forms of distributed secret management. If you are interested in encryption at rest of secrets, I urge you to get involved in Kubernetes, SIGAuth and follow along as we improve the integration of secrets with existing solutions for secret management as well as the security of the overall platform. A second part of the Q1.7 feature arc was tighter controls on the secrets and, or tighter control on what nodes can access. In Kubernetes systems today, there's a fairly flat security model for nodes. Nodes are expected to be controlled to a set of resources, but they have access to the resources in bulk rather than the specific resources that schedule to them. In Kubernetes 1.7, nodes are protected by a new authorization layer that will restrict what a node can access, not just to the pods that are scheduled onto it, but for instance, only the secrets or persistent volumes that are actually referenced by the pods that are scheduled onto it. This is Alpha in 1.7. We expect to continue to evolve this if folks who are running extensions or third party network plugins on Kubernetes may find that some of the permissions here might be a little aggressive. And so depending on how your network provider integrates with Kubernetes or how your storage provider integrates with Kubernetes, there'll be some additional things that we clean up in the next few releases. And of course, another key part of this that is coming is being involved in Kubernetes is if nodes are given a unique set of permissions, we obviously want to have a standardized path in Kubernetes for nodes to be given their identity. And so this is called bootstrapping Kubernetes. You may have also heard it as self-join or as dynamic registration. This is defining a standardized flow whereby when a kubelet starts up, it instead of having its permission embedded on that system. So instead of having to distribute a unique credential to every machine, when the kubelet starts up, it actually asks the cluster that it's going to join to receive its identity. And the process, this is through a new API that has been in beta since Kubernetes 1.5 called the Certificate API. This is very similar to systems that have existed in other config management solutions like Puppet or key generation systems. The kubelet creates a certificate signing request on startup and it asks the Kubernetes master for a client certificate that will identify it. A separate process shown in this diagram as the signer, which could be either automated, which is something that's available in an alpha forming Kubernetes or manual in the terms of this is available through the Kubernetes command line and APIs for administrators to script as needed. The signer would see the certificate signing request and can make a decision to grant access. That might involve gathering information about, for instance, which node, the node when it makes a request will identify itself, involve an additional verification step that the IP address that is requesting the certificate corresponds, for instance, to an actual running server in the cloud environment or an out of band process that might involve a unique secret delivered by the hardware when it creates the request. This is still fairly early stage. Our goal in Kubernetes is to provide a simple out of the box path that works well on the cloud providers and to allow people to extend or supplement this path with their own logic. And so there is no, there is no expectation that this is a closed system, which is why the signer is split out like it is. If the signer decides to accept the request, it will create and sign a client certificate and give that back to the Kubelet. The Kubelet will then use that client certificate, which uniquely identifies it as node one to make a request for a serving certificate. This is used to fully encrypt the communication between the Kubelet and the cluster. And then the Kubelet will proceed with the rest of its normal bootstrapping process. In combination with the previous feature, this means that when nodes join up, not only are they able to easily receive a unique certificate that identifies them, but they are restricted to the things that that certificate would to things that their identity allows them to. And so we see this being involved over the next several releases to provide better subdivision of Kubernetes clusters, as well as allowing additional work to be done to make the Kubelet load its configuration dynamically. As well, because this is a fully automated process or can be fully automated from the node side, this is being tied into certificate expiration. And so the Kubelet as those certificates get closer to expiration will re request new certificates and the human or the automated signing process can then grant those again. And we see this as this is a first step in Kubernetes one seven that will begin to make clusters more automated and autonomous in terms of how individual machines are set up, but still leave administrators with the control over who joins their cluster and what level of automation and verification they need as nodes join. The audit feature is also being improved in Kubernetes one seven. This was first delivered into Kubernetes one five after being upstreamed from OpenShift. The first iteration was a simple file based mechanism or simple log based mechanism we then extended that to log to a separate file. In Kubernetes one seven, we've added a large number of new of new filtering and logging capabilities that allow it to be allow more API actions to be reported to allow filtering and to allow individual sinks of where that data will go. So we envision over the next few releases to see the ability to ship specific audit events to distinct systems as necessary, or to send keep a full record of all actions locally and send the most important events remotely. This will continue to evolve. This is just really the beginning for this but we envision plugging in well to both existing enterprise level audit solutions, as well as integrating into the cloud providers out of the box. So that it's possible to for instance send your logs directly to Stackdriver or CloudWatch if you so desire. So there again, as with extensibility, this is really just scraping the surface of the security improvements in Kubernetes one seven. Our overall arc for security in one eight and one nine is going to be to continue to offer better subdivision and better integration with external secret stores. There's a lot of work going on in Kubernetes SIG off and I highly recommend if this is an area that interests you that you join. We'll be talking about topics over the next few months like container identity and giving pods and services unique certificates that allow them to talk to to talk to other systems and to have a chain of at a station all the way back to the node that launches them. So we see some of the work that's going into Kube one seven is really foundational for the next year of evolution of Kubernetes. In one seven for running apps. There's really just at the heart of it. The focus on making stateful applications work well on Kubernetes is as we think one of the most important changes in computing is not just allowing this high level of automation for 12 factor applications or simple web services. But to really get at and take the stateful application and make it a first class concept on top of Kubernetes to solve the common challenges of stateful applications in a way that makes them easier to run easier to develop and easier to operate. So with one seven moving into beta is the ability to update stateful sets and to have rolling updates performed when those automatically when those stateful sets are deployed. So this feature has is very similar to the existing Kubernetes deployment and the OpenShift deployment config. When you perform a configuration change on a stateful set the stateful set controller will begin replacing members of begin replacing members of the stateful set one at a time. It will follow the default rules for stateful sets which is a very predictable order. A new capability that's being added is partition and we see this as a key part of enabling a more complicated orchestration on top of Kubernetes in the future. The partition ability lets the person doing the initial update. So when I update a stateful set to pick a new the V2 image I can also set a partition number and that says how far the rolling update will go before stopping. And so in the example you can see I've got seven instances in my stateful set. I perform the update the stateful set controller starts from the lowest ordinal works its way to the right. So it's going to update the first pod which would be you know stateful set zero. It will then once that's ready it will then update the second one. And the key point looks like I didn't color that second V2 correctly the key point is with the partition limiter in place the stateful set will stop its update at two members. And so when we think about canary deployments or the ability to script more complex deployment checks to ensure that an update really is going to be successful. Starting with Kubernetes one seven and stateful sets you'll have the ability to pause that deployment and then continue it as it goes and so you can update the partition number from one to two to five to seven. If you clear it that rolling deployment will run to full completion and continue for the rest of the said we anticipate higher level primitives plugins and Jenkins tools that might orchestrate Kubernetes deployments like Ansible or some other capabilities that are out there to start leveraging the partition on stateful sets as well as we plan on bringing it to deployments to give this fine grained control over the act of deploying and make make stateful sets even more predictable and reliable in their roll out. In one seven this does only update pods to the pod definition will be changed but the volume definition will not be some of the work that's been discussed in the Kubernetes storage SIG about adding resizable volumes may actually show up at some future point in stateful sets but it is not part of cube one seven.  Today if you run if you run a very large staple set the staple set controller in cube one six would progress one at a time so if you have a thousand pods. It's going to do each each of those thousand pods individually in one seven we added a new alpha capability of staple sets that allows you to do parallel scale up so if you have a staple set with a thousand Cassandra nodes. You can set the parallel pod management policy to or you can set the pod management policy field which is new to parallel and all 1000 would be created as quickly as possible. That applies both to scale up and scale down it does not apply to update so a rolling update of a staple set will follow the rules of the rolling update. So you can still get predictable controlled rollouts but for instance if a large chunk of your pods are deleted a new set of pods would be created to replace them very quickly. This feature will we don't anticipate this feature changing much but it is alpha in one seven while we get some feedback from people deploying very large staple sets. And then finally for the running apps section Damon sets also received the ability to be to have rolling updates the because Damon sets tend to be more administrator focused or focused on actions that take place across the entire cluster. The rollout options are different unlike a staple set or a deployment Damon sets define a max unavailable percentage and the Damon set controller will then guarantee that no more than a certain percentage of those pods are unavailable at a time. So in the example you can see when a Damon set is updated and the max unavailable is set to a third the Damon set will choose to keep all but two pods stable at any one time. So in the first in that second line you can see it spins up to new v2 pods those will get updated when those become ready and are fully running the second version. It'll pick two more pods in that fourth row you can see that one of the pods one of the v1 pods has died. The Damon set controller will only spin up one new one until that v1 pod is replaced. And then you'll see in that last line both the v1 pod that died as well as the previous v2 pod have completed and the rest will be carried out. And this policy is different from both deployment and staple sets simply because Damon sets tend to apply to a cluster in bulk. If you would like to do controlled rollouts of Damon sets across smaller subsets. Generally you would just create several Damon sets one for each subset of nodes and update those at a separate time. Both Damon sets and staple sets track the previous revision through a new resource called controller history. This is an alpha resource technically even though we depend on beta even though this is the update process of Damon sets and staple sets is itself beta. And so what you can expect is as a user when another person performs an update on a staple set or a Damon set you'll be able to go and view the history just like you can view the history of a deployment or a deployment config through replica sets and replication controllers. On the runtime side, we've haven't talked a ton about this, but the container runtime interface in Kubernetes is getting close to moving into a beta state. The container runtime interface for those who aren't aware is the abstraction in Kubernetes that separates the container runtime from the Kubelet and allows, you know, has a standard set of APIs that it invokes to ensure that containers are running for pods that logs and the exact behavior can be supported that statistics flow and that images are managed. Over the last year or so Red Hat has been working kind of on a standard container runtime that uses OCI and system D. As we get closer to having CRI move into the beta state in Kubernetes Red Hat has been pushing forward on ensuring that the cryo cryo also reaches an alpha milestone. It really is focused on supporting exactly the subset of features that are necessary for Kubernetes. It adds significantly less overhead on a Kubernetes system. And we envision this in the future being both a proving point for CRI as well as offering some operational and production advantages when running containers on Kubernetes. And so you'll see more of this in the future as the CRI and the underlying Kubelet becomes more amenable to plugins. There's also a lot of exciting things that may come over the next year or so around both running non-container runtimes like VM based systems underneath Kubernetes for better isolation of containers. And so we view the evolution of CRI and the work that's being done in cryo as a necessary part of the evolution of how we build more secure containerized platforms. Network policy is one of the more popular features in Kubernetes, at least so I've heard. In cube one seven, it will now move to GA and the network policy plugins, both in Kubernetes and OpenShift, a large number of them are moving to support network policy as a as a fundamental resource. This allows fine grained control over which containers and applications can talk to each other across namespaces on the OpenShift side. We view this as a really huge development because it allows end users to specify to collaborate and specify what what other tenants of the system they may wish to receive traffic from. And it allows a finer grained control over what over the the network resources that they expose. So for people who are running not just web applications, but may also be running databases or other as a service type of capabilities on the platform. These this fine grained control allows people to make services available, but then to segregate who can talk to which parts of that application for administrators or for other applications on the platform, or even further applications off the platform. And so over over the next looks like the example here is wrong over the next few releases will expect most of the network plugin providers to enable network policy out of the box and to fit some of the other concepts around network policy and multi tenancy more deeply into Kubernetes. And so there is a huge set of other things that I would run out of time trying to to dive into. I did want to call out for four very important areas that we won't go into an extreme amount of detail on local storage volumes was a proposal for Kubernetes one seven and a very early alpha version of it is in cube one seven. This is a really exciting feature. It's very commonly requested the ability for a pod to request local storage and then if the pod gets rescheduled to have it be rescheduled back on that machine if that storage is still available. This allows applications that don't quite fit into the network attached storage model who need much higher IO or only need storage for a short amount of time to get to both request that and for administrators to be able to quote a control that we expect in we expect in Kubernetes one eight to see more of these pieces land and this will be a big enabler both for local development and for high performance applications. There were a ton of CLI improvements in Kubernetes one seven the overall usability of the command extensions that make it easier to manage deployments to get better information from the server as a number of performance improvements. The cube proxy, which is kind of the current heart of how applications talk to each other on Kubernetes today, got a massive set of performance improvements that we expect will continue into the Kubernetes one eight release and then service catalog which many of the folks on this call are probably familiar with. The service catalog work continues apace. We expect over the Kubernetes one eight and one nine timeframes to to really bring that to, you know, a first class behavior in Kubernetes service catalog is actually one of the first consumers of the extension points I mentioned before. And so we expect a fairly rich experience and that to be the proving grounds for on Kubernetes being able to add new capabilities in a seamless way without having to necessarily compile those into the Kubernetes project itself. And with that, I'd love to take some questions. If there are any. Well, there are there are a couple, Clayton, and I've also posted in the notes in the chat. The least notes for the Kubernetes one point seven release. And we have a couple of deep dives coming one on Creo, another on service catalog in the upcoming OpenShift Commons briefing schedule. The first question or the most recent question will go that way. Do you have the user context in the web hook and this is going back to the session about sensibility. Yeah, a fundamental part of policy extension is knowing who the acting user is. And so that is a part of both the extension mechanism as well as for for the web hook extensions for emission policy, but it is also available to extension API servers. And so you will continue to see that propagated through the rest of the system. And there was one early one which sort of related to OpenShift and Chuck is asking if we are going to create a client library for OpenShift similar to the client go of K Kubernetes. Yes, that is a goal. There was a number of really important changes that have continued to occur in Kubernetes one five one six and one seven to clean up the internal structure of those libraries to make them really be consumable. So it is definitely a short term or a near term goal for us to have a very, very powerful go client library and as well to be able to reuse the extension mechanisms or sorry, the generation mechanisms that we've been working on in Kubernetes for the OpenShift API as well. A key part really of being able to do API extension is to have client extension. And so even though I didn't cover that in an extreme detail. We want all of the languages to have very good Kubernetes clients and for any extension of Kubernetes to also be able to use those clients. So, Mattias from get up cloud is asking how about backporting are any of those being reinvented and on old versions of the features that I described. There's no explicit plan to backport those to older Kubernetes versions. A large chunk of the speaking for OpenShift a large chunk of the API aggregation and API extensibility and the service catalog work is specifically something that Red Hat has driven because you know we believe really strongly in extensibility. Some of those capabilities will be in Kubernetes and OpenShift three six. The encryption at rest is targeted for three six one in a in a early access form and there's a couple of other items in this list that may make it into the OpenShift three six release. We're in general we were focused more on the security and extensibility aspects in terms of backports for OpenShift three six. Let's see somebody's asking for and it should make him write it would be great if we can have a read me on Kubla bootstrapping on OpenShift and check. Yeah, that is that is Kubla bootstrapping has been one as it evolved in Kubernetes one seven. There's been an early version of it in OpenShift and Kubernetes since the one five release our goal. We really do want to make bootstrapping because it's so fundamental to how in the future we'll do certificate regeneration. It allows an external CA to be used to sign certificates. It allows us to delegate trust from that initial Kubla bootstrapping to the containers that run on the platform and because it just reduces the amount of overhead necessary to stand up new nodes. It's like there'd be a very strong focus for us in the OpenShift side to have that both be you know initially we will do a better job of documenting what's already there. But we intend to use it more fully to to make it easier to stand up nodes. So while in one seven and three seven OpenShift you may not see it be fully supported over the long term bootstrapping will become the de facto way that we stand up new nodes. There's one more coming. Are there any Federation updates coming to 0.7? There was a lot of work on Federation in the one seven timeframe. The Federation is still alpha. There's a number of things that we still think need to be closed out such as upgrading and a lot of a lot of getting things in final working shape. So there was a ton of work that was done in the one seven timeframe in terms of functional changes, not a terribly large number. See any other questions? I'm going to pop over and just remind everybody that the OpenShift Commons gathering is coming up soon and we have limited space again. But it will be at KubeCon and you will be able to hear Clayton give by then it should be the same update on hopefully Kube 1.8. And that'll be there you can register that and then all of the other I mentioned that there were other OpenShift Commons. And it's common is the events. The events webpage has all of the other Kube related calendar folks here. I think we have a big week coming, maybe not over the fourth of July week, but we're going to have Kaperna Sinha from Google is going to give a technical roadmap. We wrote a head for 1.8 talk on July 11th. We'll be a distributed tracing with the agar, which is and then some a couple of other ones and then coming up soon, there'll be one on service catalog and we haven't found a date yet for another one on cryo, but it should probably be on sometime in July. So it's a very busy calendar. So please do keep an eye out and we'll try and keep you all up to date on everything that's coming out the pike with Kubernetes and ownership. There's a lot of interest in this. And so we hope that you'll stay tuned. And if you haven't joined the OpenShift Commons yet, please do so and get you on the Slack channel and into our mailing list so that you don't miss any of these events. And I still don't see any other questions. So Clayton, I think you've done an awesome job and we can really just say thank you very much and hopefully we'll see you in Austin and you'll feel better and have a great fourth of July weekend. Everyone, wherever you are. Thank you, Diane.


What's good, Josh or Ross back at it again with another video. So I'm gonna check out 10 wrestlers who were almost killed by fans This is a interesting one. We recently seen a fan attack Seth Rollins and I think the guy has some type of mental Mental issues. I know he came out recently talking about he did it for Roman he basically pulled the Rikishi move like I did it I did it for you Rocky did it for Roman or something like that and apparently got catfished by fake Seth Rollins It's just a whole bunch of stuff. I just just really really weird doesn't really add up I think the dude he may have some mental issues. Just the way he was describing things So I hope he does get help because you can't be out here attacking fans. It's very dangerous and apparently Fans almost killed some wrestlers. I don't know if it was you know, I don't know how that goes about But we're gonna check this out. Appreciate all the love and support wrote to 70k and let's see what this video is all about Let's talk about Let's talk about wrestling fans now There are a lot of easy jokes you can make about wrestling fans And I'm not gonna make any of those and I'm trusting editor rich to not make any using mean images of what people assume All wrestling fans are like I'm trusting you on this one rich Don't let me down but one thing that I do feel comfortable saying about wrestling fans Is they can get a bit intense after all you won't find anyone who hates wrestling more than a wrestling fan However, sometimes that intense love hate relationship with the pro wrestling biz can lead fans to take things too far Wrestlers pride themselves on being able to blur fiction and reality to such an extent It provokes genuine outrage in their audience However, some have been so good at it they managed to provoke something else something almost deadly like Seth Rollins did on this week's raw Hey, at least that fan has a better spear than edge content warning We will be describing violent attacks in this list. We'll try not to show anything graphic on screen But if you don't like that sort of thing, this might not be the list for you I'm Adam Haling from parts fun known and here are 10 wrestlers who are almost killed by fans And if you don't want to kill our channel as fans like and subscribe Or we'll kill You number 10 Bobby Heenan no one knows how to annoy wrestling fans like the weasel cocky Charismatic blonde not sure why I like Bobby Heenan so much But boy do I well most WWE fans might remember Heenan as more of a comedy heel dressing up in ladies clothing to sneak into the first ever episode of Roar getting slapped around by the red rooster prior to his career in the big dub His healing was a little bit more serious in one case a shade too serious on January 27th 1975 Bobby Heenan and Nick Buckwinkle Performing for Verne Garnier's AWA at the Chicago International Ampitheater Buckwinkle was wrestling the beloved Garnier himself for the big belt slammed him pinned him and picked up the win after Heenan interfered to remove Garnier's foot that was in the ropes this Flagrant disregarding of the rules pissed off a fan so much He stood up and fired a gun multiple times at the ring.  So It was different back then.  Also, definitely not genocidal Anyway in the 90s while he was wrestling in frontier martial arts wrestling You know that promotion with all the death matches and exploding rings at AEW didn't exactly pay love in tribute to Sambu was told by FMW head honcho at sushi onita not to take his match outside of the ring due to checks notes Yakuza members sitting at ringside.  You naughty little gang boys number eight Oli Anderson Oli Anderson might not be a household name to most modern wrestling fans Which would be a shame as he's one of the founding members of only the four Horsemen the original gang of hateful pricks as such it should probably not come as a surprise that the man wants Provoked wrestling fans to actual factual IRL violent after tag match with kefei brother gene against tim woods and dino bravo He was stabbed by a 79 year old fan Holy s*** grandpas had a few too many words as originals and has gone sugar mental The andesans had failed to win the nwa world tag team titles from woods and bravo and on their way backstage An elderly man stabbed Oli in the arm and chest with a hawk bill knife Oli was left in serious condition needing a four hour operation to repair the tendons in his arm and close the Wound in his chest nice to know wrestling fans don't get any less crazy and weird with age number seven killer kowalski Know to most wwe fans as these are some boys was wild back then Man who trained triple h and the man who definitely did not train mass transit killer kowalski was a legend of the business with A fantastic chin and terrifying eyes the kind of violent lunatic that creates violent lunacy in others in one of the most Comprehensively violent wrestling stories we've relayed on the channel kowalski was wrestling yukon eric in canada in the 50s When kowalski botched a knee drop and legit severed part of eric's cauliflower ear. Oh sweet Jesus and the story doesn't even end there yukon eric was hospitalized with the injury It actually ended up being the reason kowalski got the killer nickname eric didn't hold a grudge for the botch But a fan wasn't quite as forgiving after the incident a woman walked up behind kowalski and said I'm glad you didn't get hurt before stabbing him in the back Seemingly wanting to do the deal herself apparently number six blackjack mulligan. It hasn't become clear by now These are really intense this What we saw with sef roland's and In that craze fan I mean that was that was you know A little shocking I ain't gonna lie to you that spear was on point But you know still you know kind of like whoa that was you know kind of wow This is taking it all this over your tempting murder type stuff for real Now pretty much all these stories come from quotes the good old days of professional wrestling back when kayfabe existed and according to the undertaker Men were men scary Violent men turns out that wrestling fans emboldened by a heightened sense of reality in their grappling were also way more Terrifying as evidenced by this horror movie level of planning blackjack mulligan the father of irs And the grandfather of bray white and bow dalas was on the way to the ring to wrestle pedro Morales in boston in the 70s when he was stabbed in the leg by a fan with a knife coated in pig fat The wound itself was bad requiring a hundred stitches But the tainted blade caused an infection that could have killed the patriarch of the windom wrestling family Jesus jesus wept jesus h christ wept number five roddy piper back in the golden era of wrestling Roddy piper came to infuriate wrestling fans and chew bubble gum and he's all out of bubble gum And also it was your bubble gum and he stole it piper was such an effective villain That the main event of the first ever wrestle mania was built around getting even with the saucy scott However three years earlier in 1982 a fan tried to do something that mr. Teen never managed in his career put an end to hot rod zantics once and for all in raleigh north carolina A fan stabbed piper in the chest it was said the knife came within an inch of piper's heart despite that Bro, what is going on? she got Bro boys really took this wrestling stuff seriously like Not even joking boys was really not playing and recipes were uh to roddy piper as well Top rod gave chase to his attacker until police caught up and detained the man at gunpoint with the rowdy one Saying it was the closest he had ever come to seeing a man get shot number four Brian knobs between rubbing people's faces into their armpits and almost shoot murdering ken shamrock in a hotel room that one time It's fair to say that the nasty boys were fairly rotten dude And i'm far from the only person who thinks so after a show in peoria, elinoy in 1992 the nasty boys evidently made an impression On the fans in attendance the tank team of brian knobs and jerry sags were driving back to their hotel with irs In the car when they were followed by a group of men in another car The car swerved over five lanes of traffic to cut off the nasty boys and force them into stopping When brian knobs got out of the car to check for any damage one of the men in the other car a 20-year-old named david miller Rushed up to him and stabbed knobs in the chest who was immediately rushed to hospital But thankfully survived while he was fortunate the attack wasn't more serious knobs had to be pulled from action for three weeks Meaning he had to be replaced in a 92 royal rumble pay-per-view by haku number three denise kondry and jim cornet Imagine any wrestling fans wanted to hurt jim cornet.  Yes, indeed in mid-south wrestling michael haze kfaye blinded Who is such a hero to the fans that one of them decided to take retribution into his own hands one night in new Orleans the free birds were wrestling a tag match with jyd sitting at ringside in a cane and sunglasses a fan jumped the rail and told jyd don't worry I got him for aiming a pistol at the free birds junkyard dog didn't know whether or not to break kfabe and reveal Actually, he could see but thankfully a cop tackled the man allowing both the free birds and kfabe to live another day See this is what i'm saying back then Kfabe was still intact like they did not break character at all They didn't so people believe that these people were how they acted at the ring That's just what it was now. It's Damn, there's it's pretty much dead. You have social media so you can check shit, but Back then no, so these fans believe these people that was in these situations Or like legitimately hurt or legitimately good or bad Dude said don't worry bro. I got him So it's like he has to he's over there trying to he has to do this Keep it up. He has to keep that persona like damn. I'm really hurt like bro. That's Oh my god That's insane day and number one Harley race Okay, so this one might not have involved an actual wrestling fan But gosh, it's interesting to leave me alone your big internet pill. It's widely renowned as one of the toughest gentleman to ever lace up A pair of boots Harley race was no stranger to getting into tussles with members of the public The one-time king of the ring was having dinner in a Minneapolis restaurant in 1965 where he saw a man slap a woman During a heated argument 22 year old race going under the name handsome Harley race at the time walked up And knocked that man out with one punch and then left the restaurant However outside the establishment the fallen man's friend ran up to race and stabbed him in the back with a knife He'd taken from the bar race was rushed to hospital But thankfully the wound ended up being not too serious So not technically a fan attack per se But hey the attackers were horrible bellens who got hurt feelings in a macho sensitivity escalated things to a ludicous degree So it's not inconceivable that they were wrestling fans and that's our list. What did you the wrestling fans think of it? Please don't please don't kill this was rare All these all these instances. I usually ask which one's the most shocking all of them Every single one of them in this entire video I'm not thinking he's really talking about You know these wrestlers potentially getting killed.  They weren't playing How many times did he mentioned someone getting stabbed in this video? I don't think I've never been stabbed and I pray to God. I never do get stabbed, but I know it's it's It's not something enjoyable Especially getting stabbed in your chest. Jesus Christ But this whole video is shocking man Comment down below Let me know are you guys just as shocked as I am because I am but I can't pick a single instance from this video That didn't shock me all of them did because motherfuckers was really trying to kill people back then Peace when you believe wrestling is real. This is what happens. No, bro It's not like that. Do try to shoot somebody with a piss. Don't worry, bro. I got him for you. Wait Whoa, whoa, I can see Jesus But I appreciate all love support road to 70k appreciate y'all kicking it with me. I see y'all next one. Peace


Okay, welcome Professor Dagang Lu from Harbin Institute of Technology in China, in Harbin, in the north of China. We are very happy that we found this time here to ask questions about the cost action tier 1402 on quantifying the value of structural health monitoring. You have been here from or you have been part of this project from the very beginning even in the proposal phase. So what you of course know best what your involvement was, please can you outline your activities? Okay, thank you so much and I'm very happy to answer your questions. And okay, thank you. What has been your activity and the cost action tier 1402? Well during the proposal phase of this action I was one of the three international experts, you know, me and the other two experts are Armin Der Kurgen from UC Berkeley, and the other one is Professor James Beck from Caltech. And this is the first phase, the proposal phase. And during the second phase, the next on the execution phase of this action, I was one of the three management committee observers. I remember the other two observers are Mark Stewart from University of Newcastle, Australia. Another one is Michael Todd from Trinity, yeah from the UCSD in USA. So I maybe I'm very special because I'm both the international experts and also the international observers. Yes. And then during the action you had other activities I remember. You participated to the organization of several special sessions. Yeah, special session. Yes, I remember that last year in July in Australia I remember in the next international symposium on maintenance, safety, of bridges, the YAMAS conference. Me, let me see me. Yeah, Mark Stewart, Alan O'Connor from the Trinity College, Dublin. We organized a special session on value of information of SHM for life cycle management for bridges. So this is the first special session held in last year. And this year in just next month in March 27 to 29, there will be the YAPS symposium will be held in January's protocol. So Margarina, me, Michael Faber and Paulo Gardoni, we four people will organize a special session. It's named as SHM YAM from the Decision Making for Resilient Built Environment. So I think this action has broadened my network. Through this action I broadened both my old friends and also I made new friends. It will be also another special session that you are organizing in September. Oh, you mean you stand for? Yes, and it will be interesting because there will be also a special issue on the topic of the action, a special issue on structural monitoring, the journal and you are participating as a guest editor also for this special issue. Okay, that's a very good idea. I just told my two students just now we will submit a paper also using the value of information to evaluate risk-based inspection planning. Yes, we will submit a paper. Thank you very much for your continuous activity. So you have already mentioned that your network has broadened and may I also ask what you may have learned from the action from these scientific topics we have been tackling and how will the cost action outcomes influence your further research? Will you further researching on the topic? What are your thoughts about this? Well, I think basically I can say that this area in China has been paid less attention to before, especially in the field of SHM. So I can say that I have learned many things from this action. First, I have learned a new idea of measuring the potential benefits of SHM, that VOI, the value of information, which is from the perspective of Bayesian pre-pository decision analysis and I have learned the way to make the optimal decision making of SHM systems, which is implementation in the strategy and also in the operational level where the reliability analysis and also using the Bayesian decision theory. The second is I have learned how to facilitate the sustainable societal developments through the improvements of reliability, robustness, resilience, risk in structural integrity management of four structures and also in four structural systems by optimizing structural health monitoring systems. The third one is I have found many other interesting areas which could be paid more attention to in the future in both theoretical and practical applications, I think, especially in China. As you certainly know and as you mentioned already, the constructions are not only research projects but also networking projects. They are meant to expand the research network, so you already mentioned that it worked in your case. I was wondering if in China, do you have something similar to constructions, meaning research and networking projects? Of course, in China we have similar projects, something like the cost action, which was organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Chinese government. We cost the ministry of science and technology most. It is the biggest organization of the Chinese government. We have the very major scientific research projects, very, very big project. We can, for example, many universities in China can apply for some major projects, something like the cost action, something like that. But for the value of the information, we don't have similar projects. So it's very interesting. So now in China, some researchers have noticed this research direction, but for the government level, we don't have similar projects. So I think in the future, maybe we can jointly apply for the international cooperation projects for this area. Yeah, that's a super outlook. And we would also be super happy to do this. Yes, I'm very happy to do that. Yeah, well, and I think we say thank you for the interview. Thank you for talking to us and for sharing your thoughts. And let's keep in touch. Okay, thank you. And finally, I wish this action could produce many fruitful achievements and we'll get great successes. Okay, thank you very much.


Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to above life channel. The purpose here is to inspire your Spirit and to fill you with hope today. We're gonna have an afterlife conversation with designer Kate spade from the afterlife now this video is special. It's going out as a Gift to a very good friend of mine who I know is a megafan of miss Kate spade so I reached out to this friend of mine and I asked her to provide me with some questions because I wasn't really sure What to really talk with Kate about? So she provided me with some so I'm gonna read those as We have dialogue and conversation with Kate spade in the afterlife now if you like this platform pay attention I'm gonna post a video where I'm gonna request from you To send me through email Questions that you have for a famous afterlife guest whether it be somebody that we've already talked to or somebody that We haven't So I'm going to be looking for those emails.

All right. Okay, so let's talk with Kate spade in the afterlife Okay, so I know that she's kind of brunette so let's see if I Her hair looks short to me. I'm not sure if it's real short kind of sleek modern It looks that way unless it's pulled back and I'm only seeing her from the side. I feel like she has a daughter She's wearing a very simple black dress It's like a sheath dress, but it's a little bit looser It's not tight. It's it's trimmed through the chest and then it kind of loosens up a little bit a little bit flowy and it's right about the knee and it looks like she has like a belt on like a patent leather belt and She's carrying a bag and I know that she has purses you guys like that's how I know Kate spade That's all I know of Kate spade She has a bag and it's like a a handbag that you know just carried around your arm kind of a thing and It has a little bit of an angle to it so it I'm not sure. I didn't do very well in geometry. So I'm not sure the sacred shape is that like a Trapezoid I don't know It's kind of almost triangular a little bit, but wide on the bottom and wide on the top. There you go. All right, so All right, and then so I see that and then I see It's interesting because I see just solid colors with her like beautiful blush pink and Gorgeous gray and a black like really known for black and then I see kind of branching out for hand. These are for handbags and then I see like in Different then I see branching out and getting into different fabrics and colors like especially florals it looks like and it looks like scarves like I see scarves like I'm not sure if they're tied around the handbag or if they're actual scars, but I can see her actually in a scarf and it's like a like a poppy almost like a kind of an ivory background with some blacks and some vivid pinks in it and maybe a tiny little bit of a purple kind of a color but lots of different like bright pinks in it and I'm an ivory background and I see that tied around around She kind of has it off to the side a little bit Kind of right here It's a scarf it's pretty Almost a little bit Audrey Hepburn like her vibe I'm feeling a connection or a kinship with also with Coco Chanel and I'm also feeling so I think I think I remember that she was from New York She feels like New York City. So either she's originally from there or she moved there This is what I'm knowing about her and I also know I do know that she committed suicide I know that I know that that's a fact so All right, so let's talk to Kate and ask her some specific questions. I'm obviously seeing her She hasn't spoken much. I'm not clear. Audiently hearing her at this point I'm feeling her work and That that's a great source of pride for her and that's her company and building her company and I do feel like there was some financial stress within the company and there were some questions or concerns about either breaking it up or Part of the company being sold or that there's some kind of an investor or somebody that owns more of the company or Wanted to do some different things and I feel like there's some financial stress around the company the mission that kind of a thing And so I'm not sure if that's happening now or if that happened right before her death That maybe precipitated some of her death She's making me feel like her relationship like with her husband wasn't good And so her personal relationship like I don't know if they were actually going through divorce But she's making me feel like it was like an up-and-down roller coaster and she's also making me feel like there was drinking and I don't know whose part. I don't know if it's hers or his But there was a lot of unhappiness is what she's saying in the home. So Just wouldn't put that out there. Okay, so she's sharing with me So that's heart-based Claire sent dance feeling sensing most of you will be able to pick up on empathic information Because you're empathic. That's just the way it is. That's how you channel through your heart space All right. So here's some of the questions. All right So You sold your business prior to your transition Okay, I didn't read the questions before I did this channeling opening. I just popped it open on my computer So, okay Good. All right. So there was stuff going on with the business. Okay, so my friend says you sold your business prior I love it when that happens. I just surprised myself. I'm like, wow, I'm so I'm so right I'm like I should be surprised by that. I know. All right.  How do you feel about the current direction? Kate Spade as a company is going She's saying It's not mine. It's not mine any longer. It's not mine. It's it's my name, but it's not mine It's not really for me to judge. It's not for me to to really say Is your company left I'm gonna ask this question is your company left to your family or your daughter It will be part of her legacy and her inheritance. Yes at some point If design is in the family if that's something she chooses to pursue. I feel like she's in college now. I Feel like she's in college or right about the college age you guys.  She's like a teenager into the early years of college. That's what it feels like to me Like I feel like she's studying I can feel her studying her daughter So let me ask this question a little bit differently or let me ask a little bit extra here is If you would still be here at present as a human managing your company Kate Spade How would it be today? What would be your vision? What do you see? being a focus She says accessories accessories have been something that is Ever-changing and always evolving and there's always opportunity there to expand whether it be through scarves through purses through belts that there's always an opportunity and the price points are accessible to people She's also showing me perfume you guys. Maybe that's the relation to Coco Chanel something about fragrance like that She is she realizes like she's saying fragrance is a bit cliche But it is something that When you wear it it makes you feel a certain way it exudes An essence and it presents your personality and it can also change the way feel based upon the fragrance that you wear It says a lot about you. It's like a signature that's sent and So fragrance is something that I see as part of the company Okay, I also see dresses I see dresses. Do you have clothing and then she's showing me the yes She says yes Yes, and a lot of like pattern simple patterns this dress is like a sheath dress But then it kind of comes out a little bit. It's looser fabric you guys and it's a lot of different The prints aren't crazy bold Necessarily, but there's a variety of them and I really like it I really like this and then she's showing me like a simple like a cardigan over the top of it for the office like Like a simple cardigan that's a color like a bring color into your life You can have a simple pattern a palette in the back with us with a print the color is so important in the way the colors interact with each other it says a lot about you and your personality and Clothing like with perfume it can change the way you feel about yourself and it can reflect out to the outside world who you are So it's very very important. She's showing me beautiful blues some iris colors some violet some hot fuchsia pinks that are really gorgeous really gorgeous almost to the red and Then like really the backgrounds are very ivory and it's not like country. It's not even like a boho. It's like a classic Style really like that and then like with that kind of a floral print there would be a like a hot pink fuchsia cardigan that you'd wear to the office and and That kind of a vibe I guess and then you can take it off and it's like it's sleeveless like there's not sleeves on it It's sleeveless So you take it off and then you know you can go out with the the ladies for you know Like a brunch kind of a thing, you know that kind of thing and then she's showing me alcohol again Like mimosas so I don't know if she struggled with alcohol Okay, so let's move on ask the next question Everyone asks about greatest accomplishments. Can you talk? About the small triumphs that you experienced either in your personal life or your business She says acquisition She says we survived a merger or like a takeover or something there were there wasn't an attempt by a larger fashion house to incorporate us and We were able to maintain our own degree of integrity But at the same time partner with another company that was a better fit for us So I consider that one of my one of my Feets of strength to survive The especially in the early days the Bayer companies they can really swallow you up And it's it is like a cat and dog world It is like a fight to try to survive especially in the early days, and I'm appreciative of Being able to Maintain Consistency in our products and their quality in in what Kate Spade as a company represents and there's definitely a classic a Classic legendary legacy type of a vibration I'm saying vibration. That's not her word. There's very much a classic consistent vision for the company and There's an appreciation for things that are the finer things things that are simple like a simple floral pattern Can be elevated to a classic look without being overdone very much simple elegant classic is the Fashion should not be complicated for people and I hope that That is something that Has become part of what I am known for as a designer The the real woman and appreciating the woman respecting the woman And then she says she kind of jokes. She says one of my greatest accomplishments was it surviving childbirth So she says so she's made taken a nod at her daughter And I think she has one child that feels like she's talking about a daughter So there's got to be a very strong bond if she has another child They might be a stepchild or that kind of thing, but this the daughter is really like Connected and she kind of laughs like she feels like a normal person like Not super outgoing not a little more introverted, but I would say she's serious But I also would say if she wants she gets to know you she can let her hair down so to speak and be real funny You know be kind of funny and But not funny not fake but very Like her humor is a little dry which I like and appreciate and kind of subtle. I like that so that's how she feels All right, good question. All right, how can each of each one of us? identify Oh, this is perfect question you guys. Oh my gosh. Okay, Miss Kate Spade How can each one of us identify the signs of depression or suicide to help others in your situation? What actions can we take to make a difference? She says this is an important topic I Would expect it to be asked It's very painful. I recognize that this topic is Very painful. It's a painful reality and the legacy of suicide is Something that no one wants To leave for their other loved ones their families their friends. It's not explainable. It's it's really hard to To justify the choice And I am certainly not a speaker for all who have made the choice to complete suicide for me I can share that Mental health my health was a factor. I was very distraught very upset But I would have these Episodes or instances where I was very manic very very It's interesting you guys because so she saw me this manic kind of episode where she's very very stressed and very anxious and Then there's this great deal of sadness that comes with it So the manic isn't like productive and happy and let's get it done It's like it's like almost like a major panic attack mixed in with a cocktail of depression And I feel like there's alcohol involved with her like I don't know if she's self-medicated or what the deal with that It feels like alcohol is involved and that would make sense because if someone deals with anxiety They would tend to want to medicate that or dull that manic energy of anxiety with like an alcohol, which is a depressant, however Over time that erodes the systems in the body and it creates just a real constant state of a low-level energy vibration that is like a constant depression and I've seen that in session with other clients and I I see it in in Energy fields and things so I know that that's how that's how it works. So just just be aware of that if If you have drinks to calm you down Just be aware of that because it can create a constant state of lower vibration Which is like a low depression all the time and you know realize that said that you might not realize That's what's happening, but that's what's happening. So just be be aware of that and she's showing me. Oh I see a doorknob and I see a scarf and I Did she hang herself? I think she hung herself. It looks like that, but her room is so beautiful I have to say it almost looks like like a brownstone or something like a beautiful old buildings like in in New York or outside of New York, you know like in certain Burles of New York, there's this beautiful brick when I've been I've been to New York once a gorgeous place and this lifetime anyway one time and Like these brownstones kind of and I see this big like kind of big window area where it's just big window jutting out And there's brick in the front and there's all this light pouring in and then there's like this bed And there's the seasheets and there's this like almost what looks like a beautiful I want to just lay in bed kind of soft cozy kind of just be here seen almost like from a movie and then But that's it there's nothing Like there's just shallowness like if there's no depth to the scene She feels a tremendous amount of guilt about her death And she says I couldn't do it. I just couldn't take it anymore I couldn't take it and she's making me feel like her medicine wasn't accurate like I feel like she was seeing a Psychiatrist or counselor or somebody and she was trying to get a handle on the depression energy and the stress energy that she had and It feels like it's related to her relationship so husband that kind of thing and her marriage and That feels like the big impetus the big focus and I'm not blaming the husband. Let's just be clear That's not she's not either. She's not blaming anyone anyone anyone for her death.  It's kind of how it feels to me like it wasn't that Plansful like I feel like Like it was a consideration and it was a thought that kind of came in and out of her mind To that she could terminate her own life, but and but she says that morning. I knew I knew that morning I didn't know the night before necessarily. I didn't plan it like that, but that morning. I knew That it was it was over. I It looks like she left and then came back to her house I don't know it's kind of a weird It doesn't feel very good There's so much sadness So as far as the question goes Kate, I love the name Kate you guys My daughter's name was almost Kate almost almost But then I had a compromise had I had to compromise so I did How can each of us identify the signs of depression or suicide to help others in this situation What could anybody else had done what could have been done differently? She says I pushed everyone away. I pushed everyone away That's a sure sign When people say they just want to be alone they don't want to be alone They might want to be alone, but they they shouldn't be alone. They should not be alone Don't question your own judgment Even if you're worried that your friend's going to be mad at you or upset with you Push it keep pushing it.  It is very true. What you say Brigitte It's very accurate. The souls are very much connected and the spirit knows your soul knows it knows if you know something's not right or something's wrong you need to act on that and It's better to be wrong and be considered irrational than to have your friend Your friend die So push it push it And I know it feels like you're a glutton for punishment, but you you if you know in your heart of hearts that you can make a difference Do not do not let them push you away and you are and if you can say that to them You can say to them the truth. You're pushing me away. I know you're pushing me away I know you say you want to be alone because you're trying to isolate yourself Why do you feel like you deserve that? Let's talk about this and if you want to be alone That's fine, but I'm going to be in this other room here And I'm going to be making tea and if you want to come in and have Have a cup of tea with me you can but you just go sleep in the bedroom And I'm just going to stay here to make sure you're okay And that's it that kind of thing she says just don't give up I don't feel like there's anything that anyone else could have done for me. She's talking about a I think she's talking about her dad like trying to help her that her dad was trying to help her And That he was most devastated by her by the loss of her That she feels like she hurt him perhaps the most He tried the hardest she said to help me But she's talking about a friend to a good friend like I feel like she has a good friend and like That that's well known that was devastated like crushed by her death But wasn't surprised knew that she was struggling and having challenges And I see her like somebody trying to interview her and she has like sunglasses on and she doesn't want to talk about it So her bags are really her thing Because I keep seeing them she keeps showing me bags and they're beautiful like patent leather bags and simple classic I'm just gorgeous gorgeous you guys I have to look at her stuff because I'm not really like trendy like designer stuff like Gucci and I'm not Probably because I don't have a lot of cash to be just spending on that kind of stuff Like I have other things to be focusing my finances on So maybe I should look at her stuff because I haven't so I don't really know you know All right, so next question Oh, so she asked the question. That's very powerful Kate That I've heard in many sessions because I have talked with families who have lost loved ones to suicide Whether it be a brother a cousin Uh a child Why And she says your admirers are heartbroken why And she kind of sits back and sits up.  Is there like a support group for spirits that you know form of humans that are Trying to work through I mean, how does that work? Can you speak about that a little bit? She says you find peace You do find peace But it's true what you've said before It is a bit like counseling and support group and It's not as easy to let go of some of the former emotions that the body held But I don't want you to consider That there are many spirits who are are not at peace because there is peace. There is an incredible blanket It's it's a peace feels like a security and where you have the incredible gift of time to heal to believe once again to understand the value of your soul and of the life that you led without the pain or guilt or the shame of your death death does not It does not define you. It should not define you But it's hard to escape the reality that it does especially in these when these choices are made It tends to overshadow the amount of history you created for your life and while that's understandable this feeling of worthiness and value is something that I felt part of here And I can't speak for others because our choices although We all share the fact that we chose our own death It's not about the way that we died It's about the continuation of the plan for our life If we've cut that plan short then we must Reconsider our other options how we choose to fulfill Our human experience from the afterlife perspective is different for everyone. I I'm not sure what others have for their plan What is your plan? Do you have a plan? I'm working on what you would consider almost like a charity or nonprofit sort of a status If I was a person you would feel that but as a expression of light I am working on fostering a stronger sense of peace and value and Allowing other spirits other souls that are connected to me To experience and know that feeling those feelings of peace In their value having peace in their value and that's what certainty is. That's what certainty is That that is what certainty is To know peace and their value and that's that's part of my work now.

People have PR-24s, the side-handle batons and stuff, baseball bats, again those are nice but even the police, a lot of guys I know don't even like them because you have to strike and they really aren't the best sticks, like to actually stick fight with. They only use them for pain compliance generally so they're hitting like muscle areas and stuff and if someone is, if there's a crazy guy with a knife and you'll see this if you see pictures or videos, there's a crazy guy with a knife and someone has a baton and they're trying to like knock the knife out of their hand or they have like a taser and they're pointing at them, there's always multiple other officers with their guns drawn at the bad guy so then they're trying to like take the guy out without having to kill him but if he makes a move they're all gonna have to unload with them and even then that's when they when the law enforcement officers will deploy these.  So let's lethal force options really take it off the table for civilians because you're either defending yourself or you're getting out of there. So the next one is lethal force options. Now how many people carry a pocket knife? Where's your hand? Yeah I saw one last night there's four or five. Okay I like knives I'm a big fan of them but you guys have all heard that old saying don't bring a knife to a gunfight so I don't have to say it's the Indiana Jones scene where he shoots the guy with the sword. Do you guys know about that scene?  But anyways don't bring a knife to a gunfight but also don't bring a gun to a knife fight and this is stuff we used to teach really close quarters if I have a gun out all it takes is my gun going off a couple degrees and it's not gonna make contact it's not even gonna hit the guy but a knife up close can keep working keep work it doesn't run out of ammo doesn't malfunction it's not a jam it's a malfunction and up close there's definitely a lot of advantages to knives but I'm not gonna get a knife stuff on breaks if you guys want to talk any more about it we can right but the baton would be a better striking instrument and I don't even really want to do that so I prefer guns it's dirty here with his gun so I don't want anyone to answer necessarily who shot firearms or anything before but between the two of these this revolver and these are real pitchers too so this revolver right here or this big revolver which one do you think actually kicks more and actually we'll do like a raise of hands who here thinks the small one the black one if you shoot that gun that one's gonna kick more than the big one raise your hand okay now if we are shooting the large one who thinks that one's gonna kick more have more recoil one two three four okay actually easier both chambered in 38 special and 38 special is just a type of bullet it's for revolvers 38 special 357 magnums a bigger version of that these are both 38 specials that's it that's all they can shoot so if the small gun is shooting the same bullet as the big gun and that's actually the ankle gun I carry it's a titanium alloy nice small super lightweight one that's a five-shot J frame this is a full-size six or seven shot they both shoot the same bullet well that one's a lot lighter and every action has an opposite equal reaction so when you're shooting the gun explode the primer goes off and it's the powder shoots the bullet out the bullets also pushing back on you so if I have a lot more weight and mass to absorb it it's actually gonna kick less so there's a gun that almost looks exactly like this and it's silver and then there's a wood grip this is a nice soft rubber grip but there's like a real thin little wood grip on it and they call it a lady Smith and people would come in our gun range all the time girls and they go I want to buy a lady Smith because it's a lady Smith and I would go that fucking thing like isn't fun to shoot at all right that little gun back there that you got a blister on your thumb not fun to shoot lightweight ones like this like they hurt I had my ex-wife shoot that a couple times five shots of broader to tears because it hurts so much in her hand but it's a carry gun so you always got to balance it out so people would buy that little gun because like well I don't want a big one but kind of but if you're not going to carry it why not get something bigger which we'll get into more in a second but this is what happens is people who don't know anything about firearms end up feeling this like right to make laws about guns and telling other people who what they can and can't do with guns like in Arizona they recently changed the law to where you can take firearms into places that serve alcohol so restaurants bars stuff like that everyone's freaking out because they're like oh my god it's gonna be fucking crazy people are gonna go nuts and start shooting everyone well the people who already have that mindset are already going to be doing that stuff the people who follow the laws and aren't idiots aren't going to do that so everyone was a all it's gonna be horrible everyone's gonna be shooting up the place what happened a couple months ago nothing's happened at all and anyone who gets into gun stuff this is actually got me to like get into politics and stuff is just learning about how crazy and dumb so much of this gun stuff is like the high capacity gun mag ban which just one day they're like you can't have a mag in a semi-automatic gun that holds more than 10 bullets like who came up with that there's no data to back it up just someone pulled that number out of their ass and that went from 1994 to 2004 there's no data backing up had any effect whatsoever on it so then they let it sunset and it came back and everyone's like oh high capacity mags these are assault weapons and all this stuff AR's it's all horrible it came back none of the crime rate went back up or anything like that California and a couple other places still have the law to where you have to have a 10 round mag less bullets in your gun but again doesn't show anything and the bad guys can buy standard capacity mags not high cap mags they can buy it from other states and bring them back to California and carry them illegally when they're gonna rob people but only the good guys gonna go well shit I can't have a 13 round mag I gotta go buy a 10 round bag so my point with this is if you're gonna start making choices about firearms learn about it so at least have the knowledge to learn about it have the knowledge before you make a decision on it so how many guys have seen a gun like this either in a movie or real life an old school 1911 awesome gun they went out of a vogue for a while a lot of people said oh we don't like them and stuff but a lot of guys have actually been bringing them back I think LAPD SWAT was using them the Marine debt one detachment one Marsock unit they started going with the gun they had Kimber specially build one a lot of people are bringing these back these 1911's I'm not a big fan of them because it's an old school handgun where it's a metal grip with the grips actually screwed into it and the grip is what they call well the magazine is what they call a single stack mag where it's just one roll of bullets so this one could have like seven or eight rounds in it it's 45 ACP which is semi-automatic we'll have a bullet chart in a second but I just don't like it because it's real big and heavy and you don't get that many that much capacity with it it's also they call a single action gun you guys have ever seen the old cowboy movies where the guy would pull out his gun and shoot like this yes okay and you ever see it in the movie where they go click right that single action then so what they're doing is like this actually this hammers down right now if you inserted a magazine chambered around when the action slides back that hammer is going to get cocked so then is in single action mode what single action means is when I press the trigger straight to the rear that performs one function it drops the hammer down it forms one single function the round then exits the barrel it slides it chambers another round it kicks out the spin casing if you guys watch matrix all the cases can fly out that kicks out and it chambers another bullet and as it cycles it recocks the hammer so when this came out old-school cowboy guns you always had a cocky each time and then that last slide this one has a hammer on it right here now if I do this and actually have the gun in my hand in that position and I press the trigger to the rear it's actually going to pull the hammer back with it and then as it hits that certain point it's going to release it and it's going to fire and that would actually be called a double action trigger press if I pull the hammer back the trigger also goes back a little bit further and it goes like a 15 pound trigger press to like a two pound trigger pass press so a lot of people who aren't familiar with guns when they go out to the gun range they get it and they cock it up here which is very unsafe you only do it when you're on range and really I wouldn't do it at all that's why my revolver actually doesn't have a hammer on it at all it's double action all the time that way when I'm drawing it this hammer doesn't get snagged on anything maybe on the way out also if that hammer gets jammed up with anything the gun won't fire so that's why I like the revolver without it because it's one trigger pull it always works single action on the 1911 this one has a safety a lot of people are like oh certain guns don't have safeties glocks don't have safeties I'll get to in a second and they freak out but revolvers don't have safeties that was a new feature and it really came out with this gun because it would cock it's now in single action mode and basically it just took a real light press on that trigger for the hammer to come down so they came up with a grip safety that's right here that basically when you grip on the gun it disengages it and there's also a thumb safety sometimes it's on both sides where there's a little lever right here but it's actually on the opposite side of this and so when you carry a 1911 they call it carrying it cocked and locked which means chambered cocked hammer back but locked the safety on so then you had a train when you draw it out of the holster you have to disengage that safety as you're going on target it's okay it's not my favorite thing to do but that's a 1911 good gun go out to the gun range practice a whole bunch of different ones maybe this is the one you like Kimber Springfield Armory they make these really good stuff now this is a SIG also this could be an HK Beretta a bunch of other guns but this one falls into the double action single action category a little different than revolver what happens with this one is I insert a magazine I chamber the round and there's a lever on the other side that lets me sweep it with my thumb and it safely drops the hammer down without discharging the firearm what happens with this is my very first shot when I press the trigger to the rear it has to cock the hammer back it then releases it fires it then chambers the round all your follow-up shots now becomes single action so your very first trigger pulls double action all the follow-up shots are single action then when you're done shooting you have to decock it put it back in your holster the problem with this is people buy this gun and they don't practice that first shot because that first trigger press is really hard they cock it chamber it load it and they practice that at the range well in real life you might only get one shot off so you want to practice with what it is and then the mindset behind this too is instead of having good training where your fingers always off the trigger until you're ready to fire they came up with this idea of well let's make the trigger pull a little heavier so that way if the people are dumb and they're running around with their finger on the trigger it's not two pounds and it accidentally goes off it's like 12 pounds so it's a little bit harder to do your first shot but all your follow-up shots are easier
