The guns are quiet now, the papers of peace have been signed, and the oceans of the earth are filled with ships coming home. In faraway places men dreamed of this moment, but for some men the moment is very different from the dream. Here is human salvage, the final result of all that metal and fire can do to violate mortal flesh. Some wear the badges of their pain, the crutches, the bandages, the sprints. Others show no outward signs, yet they too are wounded. This hospital is one of the many for the care and treatment of the psychoneurotic soldier. These are the casualties of the spirit that troubled in mind men who are damaged emotionally. Born and bred in peace, educated to hate war, they were overnight plunged into sudden and terrible situations. Every man has his breaking point, and these in the fulfillment of their duties as soldiers were forced beyond the limit of human endurance. Officer and his staff, the Mason General Hospital, I want to extend a hearty welcome to all of you when you return to the United States. There is no need to be alarmed at the presence of these cameras as they are making a photographic record of your progress at this hospital from the date of admission to the date of discharge. Here are men who tremble, men who cannot sleep, men with pains that are nonetheless real because they are of mental origin, men who cannot remember, paralyzed men whose paralysis is dictated by the mind. However different the symptoms, these things they have in common, unceasing fear and apprehension, a sense of impending disaster, a feeling of hopelessness and utter isolation. The psychiatrists listen to the stories of the men who tell them as best they can. The names and places are different, the circumstances are different, but through all the stories runs one thread, death and the fear of death. And then after you got wounded what happened? Things only worse? No man, I can never keep getting worse though. Do they get worse? The other thing is they bugged. I got killed nearly every morning. You nearly got killed. Where were you at the time? St. Lawrence, I believe, somewhere. What were you doing when the planes came over? I was in a hole. I think I'm in the state now. They told me I was coming back. But they told me I was going to die. On the hospital I wouldn't eat hardly. Five, six. I wouldn't eat hardly. They told me I was going to die, but they didn't help me.  They will see if you don't die.  The last buddy up there, little Norman, he was second scouting. I was first scouting. They would all mix up up there. They were shelling us. What did that make you nervous? I was first scouting. I was first scouting. I should have been out in front. He went out and I started to grout after him. He got shot. He just said, oh, that's how I'm hitting it for all of my feet. I started calling for the medic. I went back to see if we could get the medic. I wasn't any and I started to grout after him again. They wouldn't let me go. He was the last one of the original boys. He and I were the last two left out of the original. And when you were shelled, how did you feel? I don't know. After Norman got hurt, did it kill him? I was all right when we were moving up and attacked and everything like that. When we get pinned down, I start thinking about him laying back there. What happened to you when you'd think about him? How would you feel? I just didn't care what happened to me. You mean you didn't want to go back into combat again? Yes, I wanted to go back. I wanted to stay there. I wanted to keep on for him and all the other guys. John and the striker, the techs, the poppin. And how do you feel right now? I feel all right. How do you think you're going to go home? Well, fairly well, sir. You overseas? Yes, sir. Where? We were in France and then we went to Germany. Where? France to Germany. And what outfit were you in? I was with headquarters attachment, 50th quarter master battalion mobile. And see your PFC at present, sir? You went and had to go to the hospital. Sir? You had to go to the hospital? Twice, sir. It says here on your record from overseas that you had headaches and that you had chronic spells. Yes, sir. I believe that your profession is called nostalgia. In other words, music, sir? Yes, sir. It was induced when shortly before the war. I received a picture of my sweetheart. Yeah. I'm sorry, I can't continue. That's all right.  Now, a display of emotion is all right. I'm not doing this deliberately, sir. Please believe me. I do believe you. A display of emotion is sometimes very helpful. Yeah, I hope so, sir. Sure, it gets it off the chest. You wouldn't be here. You wouldn't have been returned. There was a patient. There wasn't something upsetting you. Yes, sir. You say you had received a letter from your... Not a letter, sir. A photograph. A photograph, yes. Well, what about that now? Well, sir, to be perfectly honest with you, I'm very much in love with my sweetheart. She has been the one person that gave me a sense of importance through that, through her cooperation with me. We were able to surmount so many obstacles. When I was in combat... Can you speak louder? Yes, I'm hearing you. During the time I got worried that my brother... He was killed. Oh, the Marine. I noticed in this history here that you saw a vision of your brother. What... Tell me something about that. What happened? I... I guess it was a dream. Well, describe the dream. What did you see in the dream? I... I don't know. I was home. My brother was home. And we know the brother was home. We all were home. All of you were home? Sitting around at the table. Everybody was happy. We would laugh and, you know, admire each other. And then it ended there. You can see these images clearly. Yeah, it was like in that dream, see? Yeah. What about this Mendenau thing?  Well, I... In Mendenau, after I got that move, I... I was... I admit I was scared. You were scared? I... I don't know. I... Sometimes I hope something... What happened then again? I say, well... Something did happen. How do you mean by something happened? You mean you were hoping that you'd be wounded and sent back as ever? No. What do you mean by that? I meant that I... I hoped that just... I've been always so disgusted and tired of everything. I just... Didn't feel like living. And then I changed my mind and I think about my folks and it'd be a double blow if something happened to me.  You know, I'd hear a little noise and I'd let go shooting. It wasn't nothing, probably. It was an animal or something. Any noise made you excited? You'd just shoot? At that time, yes. Are you worried about anything now? I don't know. Are you mixed up? What's that pin on your shirt? Well, why do you cover those up? Aren't you proud of them? Got a purple heart? And campaign ribbons? Yes. Well, why do you cover them up? And you know, there must be some reason for you doing that. You got in the scrape and I was in the house there and just got off the guard building. It was Friday the 13th. I was sweating out all day. Patrol came up in terms of patrolling me. They shot a pan of fuss through a wall. I was laying on a couch and right before it happened, I fell a little jerry stuck. Layed down on the floor. So, when I got up, I got in the couch was all torn. You know what you were almost killed? Was that it? Uh, no.  Do you feel conscious? Are you aware of the fact that you're not the same boy that you were when you went over? Do you feel changed? Chumpy. How about with people? Always. I've had fun. I used to always be gone places. I don't like to come back no more. How long were you overseas? How much? Were you in any combat at all? Just a six months. I tried every way to keep my mind up before really going to the gymnasium, getting going out with the fellas and trying to become a nation, trying to get out of myself. But it saved me. I got worse and worse. After a while I developed a fear of sorrow. Well, fear is a different sense. Did you ever have similar pains before you got married?  Have you ever been nervous before in your life? No, sir. Never. I was a solid man. There's some noises about here particularly. I could just shake a little bit. Well, I guess I just got tired of living. I had trouble sleeping here. I had a dreaming of combat, you know? I just took off because I I've seen too much of my buddies gone and I figured the next one was for me, a man can just stand so much at the nursing. Admission note. Transfer diagnosis. Anxiety, reaction. Severe. Active symptoms. In remission. On this their first night back in the States, each man who was able may make a long distance call without cost. After months and years of silence, familiar voices are heard once again. Then each man makes for himself a small home which will be his for the eight or ten weeks to come. Now in the darkness of the ward, emerge the shapes born of darkness, the terror of things half remembered, dreams of battle, the torment of uncertainty and fear and loneliness. The medical officer in charge checks the condition of every man. Psychiatry makes no sharp division between the mind and the body. Physical ills often have psychic causes. Just as emotional ills may have a physical basis. Possibilities of organic disturbance in the brain are investigated by means of the electroencephalocrat, the Rorschach test. The things that the patient's imagination sees in these cards give significant clues to his personality makeup. This looks sort of like a drawing of two women standing on a rock and waving their hands. This man suffering from a conversion hysteria requires immediate treatment. Organically sound, his paralysis is as real as if it were caused by spinal lesion, but it is purely psychological.  Suddenly or gradually? Suddenly, sir. I start in the afternoon with crying spells and it's all something funny in my shoulders here. Backbite me. Just got out of crying. I was controlling my legs and my arms. Was there any reason for crying spells? I don't know, sir. Anything happen at home to bother you? Well, my mother's been ill. She has been ill? Is that where you are? Quite a bit. Well, now, has this got anything to do with your mother's illness? Any reason why you should have that kind of reaction? No, sir. Not that I know of. Unless my mother's illness might have brought this on. I try to hold him about her hurts. You've just been holding these things in. That's right, sir. No way you can control this at all? No, sir. Well, now, we're going to have to help you do that, of course. Let's take off this jacket here. Shoes on so you can walk in them. I think we're going to get you walking. Let's come over here. That's the boy. I said it. That's the boy. This is all going to go away as I give you this. Madison, you don't bother at all. The method employed here is effective in certain types of acute cases. An intravenous injection of sodium amatol induces a state similar to hypnosis. Feel the letters. You're going to find them this way. You look that way. There's nothing for you to watch here, but you're going to talk to me as we go along. Yes, sir. That's all. Now, you're not going to feel much of anything else.  The use of this drug serves a two-fold purpose. Like hypnosis, it is a shortcut to the unconscious mind. As a surgeon probes for a bullet, the psychiatrist explores the submerged regions of the mind, attempting to locate and bring to the surface the emotional conflict which is the cause of the patient's distress. The second purpose of this drug is to remove through suggestion those symptoms which impede the patient's recovery. Now, tell me a little bit about what you're thinking of. Their thoughts are coming to your mind now. That's going to take you away. Let's go back. Let's go back to Friday. Yeah, I'll think about that. Look, that argues with me.  Yeah. What does she argue about? Well, every little thing.  It doesn't like the stuff you get in the store. Uh-huh. But she comes down. You want to see her? Have you always tried to please her? Yes. Always tried to please her. She used to clean her house when I was a small... Well, then why do you think she argues like that? She must be sick. Well, she doesn't try to control her temper. I see. How about your father? He's a swell guy. He's a swell fellow. He gets kind of hot tempered. Since my mother's been sick, it's been a lot of money. Uh-huh. And he's lost a lot of weight, a lot of worry. I see. My mother argues with her and she wants to know where the money is. But I don't care about that. I don't want anything tarnished out of her. Well, now, this jumping, what does that make you think of? Think about it, man. Well, I can't help it. It just jumps. Uh-huh. How about these legs? Do you know anybody who had any trouble with their legs like that? No, sir. What does it make you think of? Come on. Except several, several years ago... Uh-huh. There was one fellow. He had something wrong with his right leg. Uh-huh. Water underneath, but he's walking today. That hasn't bothered me at all. Was that anything like your leg? I don't know. He couldn't walk at all. You couldn't walk at all? No. What do you think of when you can't walk like that? I wish I could walk. Uh-huh. What do you think of? What comes to your mind when you find that you can't walk? It's maybe I think I'm one of the fathers. You'd be okay sometimes. I wonder. Hope the war ends soon. Things like that. I see. Nothing in particular? Uh-huh. Now the shakes are going, now, haven't they? Yeah. How about your legs? They're good and strong. I feel all right. Move them. Let's raise them. Oh, I don't see them raising before, but I can't walk. How about them now? They feel all right. They feel good now as if you can walk here, don't they? Toes feel numb. Toes feel numb, but that's going away, isn't it? Yeah. See? Raising them fine, isn't it? Yeah. Now you're going to be able to walk, aren't you? I don't know. Well, you're going to, aren't you? Yes, sir. All right. I don't walk. I don't walk. You don't walk. I didn't. You've always been very fine at walking. Yes. Now you've found yourself unable to walk. Now you're going to get right up and walk. Right now. All right. Now let's sit up. There you are. That's fine. All right. Now stand up and look at that. That's all for yourself. That's the boy. Walk over to the nurse.  That's the medicine. Now come back to me. Come back to me. Open your eyes. That's the boy. Is that fine? Is that wonderful? Sure. All right. Now again, what's more? Oh, it's going to stay that way. It's going to stay because that's the kind of care you worry now. All right.  When you wake up, you'll keep on walking perfectly well. How about it? Thanks, sir. Righto. All right. Now let's get up in here and go to sleep. Now I'm going to have you go right to sleep. When you wake up, you'll be all right. All right. Sleep. The fact that he can walk now does not mean that his neurosis has been cured. That will require time. But the way has been opened for the therapy to follow. Now a new way of living begins, very different from the old one whose purpose was killing and trying not to be killed. Now in an environment of peace and safety, all the violence behind them, they are building rather than destroying. Men have their choice of occupational therapy. Some find relaxation in mechanical jobs. Certain types of cases obtain relief and precision work, which answers their inner need for order and certainty. For sons and daughters and nieces and nephews and neighbor's kids, hobby horses are turned out by the car load. Physical reconditioning is not the only purpose in sports, which also serves to bring men out of their emotional isolation and back into group activity. One of the most important procedures is group psychotherapy. Here under the psychiatrist's guidance, the patient learns to understand something of the basic causes of his distress. As one of a group, he also learns to understand that his inner conflicts are, with variations, common to all men. And I think of it a little bit like this. We want to get you out of your own feeling of isolation, to get you to feel that you are like other people. In order to get to that, we have to use knowledge as one thing and something else which has to be added. That is an experience of safety. You could say it is almost the core of all our treatment methods. Development of knowledge of oneself with the accompanying safety that brings. I'd like to see if we can get some illustrations of how one's personal safety would stem from childhood safety. And how the childhood safety self would stem from the parent's safety. In my illustration as a child, whenever I underwent any experiences that were frightening to me, I never told my parents I kept it to myself. While I was alone at night in my room, I called on Guy. But if I had done anything wrong, I was ashamed of it. I was ashamed to go to my parents and tell them what I had done. So I kept it to myself. And I know I used to be in constant fear that my parents would find out my feelings. Well, I wonder if there's any of your mother's troubles that you would know about. No one, my mother never gave any of the children any part of her troubles. That would be the same thing that happened to you. She didn't tell her troubles and you didn't tell yours. You took your troubles to God and she probably did the same thing. Probably didn't even confide in your father. In other words, the kind of method that you used to get relief from anxiety was really, we'd have to assume, learned and felt right in your home the same kind of thing. I think it was all caused by economic conditions in the world. I mean, people trying to compete with one another, trying to get a better job, trying to keep up with uprising and things like that, of course. The arguments in the home, mother and father arguing about the price of the food and that has been fleshed out of children, things like that. So I think that was one of the causes of the worst. Not having enough food to eat for the arguments between the both. I mean, there was... Which was the worst though? Well, I can't use... Sure, they crossed the argument. I can't know about the food. There you are. You can't even remember about the food or the lack of food. I have in mind my own childhood. We're coming from a moderate family. Moderate in the sense that the family had some sense of security. What happened there was, we were told that we... I mean, myself, my brothers and sisters, we couldn't just play with any of the kids we wanted to play with, unless their parents in turn had the equivalent of what our parents had. And as a result, we were kept in a narrow circle. Very, very narrow. However, I found that there has been a strong yearning on my part to break out of this environment, to be able to play with taunt it and have it. I say the net results like this, your mother did not feel really so superior. She felt inferior when she tried to make or take the attitude you were better than the other children, so that now, in certain experiences in the Army, have brought that out more clearly because you've been thrown in with Tom and Dick and Harry, and need to get along with them. It's not necessary to be in the Army. It's not necessary to be in the war. These kind of troubles have always gone on in all time, through all the centuries. You were going to say that? I never spoke until I was seven. Is that right? I studied very bad at 14 and 15. I couldn't recite in school. They didn't even have to talk. Can you explain how you got started to talk? How you began to get over that? Doing the war, the first word I ever spoke. Sonic Laws had brought me a war gun. My brother broke it. This is the first war war, yes? Sonic Laws was the gun and your brother broke it. When I got my gun, I just said, war, Dick, somebody broke my gun. That was the first thing I said. You were angry because someone broke your gun? I would say all those symptoms, like being unable to speak, stuttering, so on, they have an underlying anger and resentment in the deeper parts of the personality. You could almost say it like this, but underneath, I can't. You usually find, I won't. What was studying, too, about three weeks? As soon as I came here a month ago, I started studying. You stopped studying completely since you came here? Yes. That's good. I don't know whether that's a tribute to the doctors or a tribute to your fundamental health. It's a little like what I'm about to solve. No tribute to the doctors at all. Very good. Patients require special therapy. Hypnosis is often effective in certain types of battle neuroses, such as amnesia. This man does not even remember his own name. A shell burst in Okinawa wiped out his memory. The experience was unendurable to his conscious mind, which rejected it, and along with it, his entire past. Through hypnotic suggestion, the psychiatrist will attempt to revoke them. Relax completely and put your mind on going to sleep. All right now, keep your eyes on mine. Keep your eyes on mine and keep them fixed on mine. Keep your mind entirely on falling asleep. You're going to go into a deep sleep as we go in. You're going to go into a deep sleep as we go in.  Clasp them tight, tight, tight, tight. They're getting tighter and tighter and tighter, and as they get tighter, you're falling asleep. As they get tighter, you're falling asleep.  You can't let go. A lot tight you can't let go. When I snap my fingers you'll be able to let go.  Now your eyes are getting heavier heavier heavier you're going into a deep deep sleep. Going to a deep deep sleep. Deeper sleep, far asleep eyes now close tight close tight going to a deep deep sleep deeply relaxed far asleep you're far asleep far asleep now you're in a deep sleep you have no fear no anxiety no fear no anxiety now you're in a deep deep sleep now just sit down in the chair behind you sit down in the chair behind you lean back head now falls forward into a deep deep sleep head now it's falling forward we're going further and further and further asleep I stroke your left arm to come rigid like a bar of steel and you go further asleep and further asleep falling further and further and further asleep rigid cannot be bent or relaxed and I touch the top of your head I touch the top of your head that all relaxed and the other will become rigid you'll go further asleep you'll be in a very deep sleep and your sleep is deeper and deeper now when I touch this hand my finger will be hot I touch this hand my finger will be hot you'll not be able to bear it your arm is rigid and now as I touch your hand you will no longer feel any pain there will be normal now the arms relaxed and you're further and further and further asleep now you're deep asleep we're going back we're going back now going back to Okinawa going back to Okinawa you can talk you can talk you can remember everything you can remember everything you're back on Okinawa tell me what you see tell me speak you're in the battery area come on tell me what's going on you're getting fired missions go on you see everything now clearly you're getting shells thrown out of you where Jack Jacks go on yes keep on remember it all now everything of it's coming back Jeff's getting there is the other position Jeff's getting there to get your position go on get who told you to get cover BC BC go on this fire when the boys got hurt one of the boys got hurt take him away yes go on you remember it now tell me it's all right now but you can tell me you can tell me yes you remember the explosion now all right go on they're carrying you who's carrying you where are they taking you cross the field go on yes yes go on yes can you hear them you see them all right where are they taking now why are you fearful now you don't want anymore you want to forget it but you're going to remember it because it's gone now it's gone you're back here now you're away from Okinawa you've forgotten it but you remember who you are now who are you that's right full name now know your mother's name that's right father so that's fine you know who they are now all right now you're coming back with us this is going to stay with you you're going to remember it all we're going to remember about Okinawa you're going to remember about the shelves and the bombs but they're gone at ease and relaxed no fear no anxiety when I wake you up you'll be comfortable relaxed no pains and no aches but you'll remember all that I told you all that you remember you can wait now under the guidance of the psychiatrist he is able to regard his experience in its true perspective as a thing of the past which no longer threatens his safety now he can remember what's your trouble how long you had that trouble if you help you talk a bit better you can tell me more about it then right let's lie down and see if we can't help you on that this man is not a chronic stutterer he suffers from a battle tension which the drug will attempt to diminish like the man who could not walk and the man who could not remember his illness has an emotional basis comfortable now and relaxed we're just going to give you some medicine here and it's going to help remember up that tone of yours and this is going to make you feel a bit groggy we know how do you feel now make any difference in your feeling how it's like seven heaven what is it tell me about it boy I can talk that's fine I can talk I can talk that's good boy listen I can talk that's the way you always do that's make it easy now just talk to you just a little lightly now tell me you got any idea why you couldn't talk before what's coming to your mind now tell me what's coming to your mind now what is it in your mind when you couldn't talk what is it that stopped it something came through there and stopped it what is it now think quickly think deeply let's go back when was it you lost your speech had your trouble talking go back quickly seems that I first noticed it on a boat on a phone over it first started with an S and a fellow's left at me I don't know why they left so I started well let's talk with that s let's go back to that s now what were you thinking that what was in your mind that right now no then I'm a boat yes with that s when you couldn't say that s right yes yes what side what side what side what side of the ship what side that would be the left side left side that's right yeah remember of course we were up there that afternoon and we saw the fishes and had some flying fishes I came down he said I was telling the fellow underneath me about the ports that I had seen some flying fishes on the port side he tried telling me about the flying fishes and he stumbled over the s sound and the fellows left of him think hard s what does s remind him of s he remembers it is the sound he fears the sound of death and combat the sound of a German 88 high explosive shell coming in now it is possible to proceed to the basic method of psychiatric treatment discussion and understanding of the underlying causes of his symptom pass the therapy begins to show its effect the shock and stress of war are starting to wear off for these men are blessed with the natural regenerative powers of youth now they are living less in the past and more in the present sometimes they think of the future the war years must be put aside and the responsibilities of peace must be considered a man might open a filling station or a hardware store or it can buy a few acres of land and raise some chickens you might even go back to school visitors day now the men resume their contact of the world outside these are the people they are coming back to whose lives are bound up with theirs without their understanding all that has been accomplished in the last few weeks can be torn down with it their return to life can be doubly swift and sure classes in groups like our therapy continue the men are thinking of themselves in relation to society how will they fit into the post war pattern how will the world receive them you fellas have had a an opportunity to be home with your family since you've returned from overseas have you noticed any change in the various members of your family toward you and the reactions toward you but I found out that four years of absence it only took me the second day it would be really relaxed and I was right chummy again with my dad talked about the old neighborhood and new changes I don't know it's a prize you feel that your family has to be taught how to treat you when you come back no absolutely not how do you want to be treated by family the same I was treated before I went to the service no difference you don't want to be treated any differently no I thought in the one man and what do you think of us fellas they come back with second anxiety state and as you can see there were not a crazy bad means well my before I come out here to see my first impression was like in Bellevue he said fellas from the last war they're completely maniac that was my first impression I'm wondering if I mean the great percentage of the people are going to be like them when we get out that is a common concern among the servicemen who have developed nervous conditions during their stay in the army as to what the public is going to think about them undoubtedly there will be people on the outside who won't have any understanding the condition who may think of it as being a rather shameful condition that's why we're having an educational program trying to educate the public into understanding unfortunately most of you fellas have gone through some very severe stresses in the army stresses that civilians are very subjected to in civilian life you can avoid serious stresses if a civilian the average civilian were subjected to similar stresses he undoubtedly would have developed the same type of nervous condition that most of you fellas developed all of us have our so-called breaking point in a survey outside showed that civilians on the whole were more nervous than soldiers on park avenue for instance where some of your richest people live most most of the patients are people who suffer from nervous disorders and if the doctor won't give them a pill why they'll go out and say well he's not a good doctor so therefore they're given pills and they take them at home they take these pills at home because the hospitals are too full if the hospitals were empty they'd be in the sanitarium and so forth haven't uh since we know of these discussions like the other men have i know that we have learned uh the basis of how we've gotten nervous some of us through combat and some of us by not being in combat and i think and i'm sure that we have a better understanding of our conditions and i'm pretty grateful of being here mason general hospital like a lot of fellas are i just so happens i couldn't walk and they made me walk i couldn't walk now right and i was here 24 hours and then you walk i feel pretty great for getting my limbs back but that's not driving that it's that uh i know that uh when i got here and the other fellas do too we're gonna try our best to make ourselves uh as best we can and uh we feel more confident than the the grasp is nervous since you're waiting to come about us and we want to show people how we can do things on our own on the outside where we've been in the possible for nervous or mental or whatever we've been where we've lost normal way that we can be just as good as anybody else all i wanted that they give us a chance to prove our equality like they said they were i hope they keep their promise that's all right would you make it a point to tell your employer that you were a psycho neurotic well if he's an intelligent man which most well-known employers are that own large concerns why he's going to react the same as any other normal human being would he's going to say it's absolutely possible and the man right now looks all right i'll try him out but uh you may run into employers who are not that broad minded or intelligent yes sir and i'll sell myself to them how about you do you have any plans about jobs do you have any fears about getting a job or what's going on got my job waiting you have your job waiting for you i think it comes down to this doesn't it that uh most of you fellows feel that you ought to be honest with your employer that you have nothing to hide nothing to be ashamed of isn't that the general attitude yes sir that's what we all know your time in the service was not entirely wasted you have learned a great deal in the service for instance the great many jobs and tasks that you've learned to do in the service that you have had absolutely no contact with in the past you've also learned to work in groups uh something that every soldier learns to do very early in his military career this definitely will be of much value to you in your future civilian employment since slip by fast the first strenuous of hospital life has become routine sometimes a man learns something new the ranger always did want to play a guitar and now the days begin to seem long there's the old healthy sound of belly aching in the air spinach spinach again and how about a good movie for a change now about putting some ice cream in the ice cream soda no longer is a man shut up within the lonely recesses of himself he is breaking out of his prison into life the life that lies ahead offering infinite possibilities for happiness and sorrow how does a man find happiness is there a secret to discover what is the mysterious ingredient that gives joy and meaning to living you know in the bible where it says man does not live by bread alone children don't grow up well without safety and confidence if that wasn't in one's childhood in growing up you could say now there's something missing during all that time and the next question is how to supply it and it does need to be supplied not all of the learning and all of the books is half as valuable in getting over nervousness as to find someone that you esteem that you can learn to feel safe with where you can get a feeling of being accepted of cherished where you get a feeling that you are worthwhile and that you are important to do something you could say the feeding that you didn't get that's something more than bread when you were living you still need to get it you still need to be fed acceptance and to find the safety in other words knowledge alone is not enough except past what about these men are they ready for discharge how compete is their recovery how about the boy in right field i just didn't care what happened to me about the kid at bed covered by dirt for 29 hours after which came upon me how about this kid it's for the doctors to decide at tomorrow's boarding the answer is yes military formation today you're returning to your homes your families and friends many of you have been looking forward eagerly to this day remember when you re-enter civilian life on your shoulders falls much of the responsibility for the post-war world may your lives as civilians be as worthy as your records as soldiers good health good fortune and godspeed


All right, Sabra Trader is welcome on back here this Monday afternoon. December, is that 5th or 6th there? I'm losing track of my days already. December 5th, shortly after 2.30 p.m. Eastern time. Great to see Michael D. Stothis here, actually rejoining us perhaps. Great to see Rob F., Rob Ed. And perhaps the rest of us just joining us right now.  I've said that a few times, at least from the morning session. And it certainly goes to show here at the spy dragging lower and lower Hey, not as many buying opportunities throughout the whole day today. I'm down like 60 bucks right now, like 57 in change. And I haven't taken a trade since probably like, well, I'll say like 11 o'clock, probably before that, like 10.45 to 11 o'clock. So with that, great to see Bill, John, Jeff and Grant all still with us here. Dan and Phil as well. So, hey, DBGI, you're calling us out. Just ended up breaking above five. This could have led to a nice trade here and could have led to a nice support bounce, you know, at first, but ended up making a lower high and pulling back below within the trend line here. Still, I guess you could say kind of prattling around it. Maybe now this could be support for it to break higher. I'll come back to this even by the end of this meeting. You know, it's up 30%. It's a lot closer to the highs compared to a lot of different things that are, you know, that will go through probably at this point. But, you know, it's dragging back down out this stage. We'll just come back to this at the end. But though, with that in mind, though, what we'll do is just go right from top to bottom. We'll just pretty much just go right through, you know, a lot of stocks dropping off at the market as we just alluded to a moment ago. So, probably find more on the loser side, but we'll start right from the top here and really kind of skip over these cheapies below a dollar. You know, they're not penny stocks. They're likely NASDAQ national listed stocks. But, you know, we're normally not going to trade anything below a buck. All right, TXMDI. I saw this pop up on my Benzingo radar throughout the early afternoon. I didn't call it out, though. I didn't type it in the chat board. It was looking kind of low volume at the time. And I guess since it's been pushing up, you know, topped off right around six, a little bit over six and pulled back down a bit from there. So, you know, again, likewise with the DBGI, not fully sold on this, especially with the shakedown now, but I'll come back to it. All right, so DBGI, the TXMDI trade both will kind of like put on the side list. The EH stock, this one ended up having a pretty interesting ladder effect early this morning. Ended up making a nice squeeze up at first. I'll pull up the level four for this trade. You'll see what I'm talking about coming up here. I ended up seeing a bunch of icebergs pop up on the bid and it ended up propelling the stock upward throughout the morning. A really cool example here. So, you know, it started off right around 620ish, 622. Ended up getting pulled from the book roughly prior to 11 o'clock eastern. And then over time, it's probably just a combination of different orders, not just one in general, but you could see over time where they ended up stacking the bid up and pulling their orders, placing it higher. And it ended up leading to a good squeeze up. Now, with that in mind, I don't know how or why 755 was such a key level today. There wasn't really a big iceberg order that showed up on the ask. So, you know, perhaps that could have been more of a historical level from the past week or past month. You know, we'll take a look in a moment. But yeah, for the meantime, the EH trade still showing a big iceberg on the bid roughly over that seven level right off of 704, 703. You know, it could be one to watch. I don't mind slipping this on the main watch list, at least for right now, just given the volume that's on the water book more than anything. All right. So, I didn't take a look at this until right now. So, I have no idea how this is going to play out here, folks. But, you know, I was wondering all throughout the day today, like why 755? Why was it such a key level? 755, 760. So, I'm just going to place a line right off the high there pretty much here on the daily chart. So, what gives? I mean, it looks like it bottomed out here back from March time, you know, right around there. But maybe there's more to it if I zoom out. I got something back from 2020. I mean, really. Oh, all right. So, now that explains it. That explains it, you know, pretty fairly, right? You know, back from 2020. I had to go back on the weekly chart from you on this one. But, you know, it ended up bottoming out right around and look at that 759 on the freaking nose. Wow, 767 the following week. But over time ended up just generally building off that level and then ran up. So, pretty cool to see how that historical level played out today. I really had no idea why that was a key level myself. I didn't really care to check up until right now. Honest to God. So, you know, hey, there's always something to learn from here folks each and every day. But, yeah, the EH trade for right now, I'll put on our main watch list in hopes of this making another higher or low and a pop back up again. All right. I don't know if we're going to find a better example of, you know, support becoming resistance right there. But SHPH going back down the Gainer side ended up making a nice pop just before topped off right around 340, pulled back down cold. You know, hey, this could be a better swing trade coming up this week than a day trade. It's been more of a grinder across the late morning early afternoon. Not necessarily a fan of that type of like rugged uptrend. So, you know, if you're doing well on it from earlier today, that's nice. But, you know, I wish it was more volatile right now. The IOVA trade bust from this morning going to pass on that. The AERC stock, I'd called this out right before this meeting started at least, ended up making a nice pop, broken new high, but the order book at the time actually was a lot thinner, a lot less liquid compared to actually what you're seeing now. So, that's a good sign. I mean, hey, there's more volume that's joined the book, namely the 24,000 share iceberg order on the ASC at 415. So, I like this trade. AERC, we're familiar with this stock. We did really well on this back from last year, I think. We're back from June of this year, rather, you could say.  That's how we remember this stock. And then back from June, ended up making a big pop. Time flies. You just forget all these different stocks when they pop white date. You got to go back, I mean, pretty much any day where you see a stock trading like millions of shares and made a big move, you know that us here inside the cyber group room had called it out at that point in time. But, yeah, I mean, ended up making a huge pop back then. If this can make a fraction of the run that it made for us back in June, then I'll take it. All right. So, I don't think we're going to find much more on the gainer side with the way the markets are looking, right?  Let me just jump to TLRY. Tilray had a nice morning today. This one ended up going against the green pretty nicely at first. Popped from 465, ended up running up over five. And from there, it's stalled out pretty much, you know, peaked at like 512. CGC, same type of move. You know, the pot stocks have been a good play from the end of last week into today. So, keep it in mind for tomorrow. Good sideless stocks to follow day to day. You know, if they're not like really showing much activity in the pre-market, then just don't bother. But if they're showing good uptrends, good moves early in the morning, trading a lot of volume early in pre-market, then, you know, I feel like you can keep a small eye on it. All right. I saw a firm get hammered today early this morning. Richard called that out at some point. Obviously, Tops has been like a focus for us here inside the live trading room. Mainly from this morning. Ended up getting a huge drop off over, I think it was from this morning, right? If not from Friday afternoon. Yeah, from this morning. Early big gap down for the most part. You can call this.  It was, I think, off of direct offering news folks. I think Tops ends up doing like a big direct offering of shares where, you know, in that case, the stock price gets diluted. You end up seeing a big drop off technically percentage wise. But, you know, this ended up making a bit of a dead cat balance going into the early to mid-afternoon. I know one of our students, Robert, called it out. I'm not a fan of this type of trade right now. I mean, I like the order book. It looks tradable and all of that. So actually that part I do like. But I just don't feel as confident that this is going to make as good of a squeeze as you'd want. I certainly hope so.  And one more time I'll bring up book map just for this. You know, bring up level four. So on this trade, it ended up making the squeeze up. It got halted. And we just talked about this in class, right? In the phase two stock course where we talked about time and sales prints, what happens when the stock market opens up, what happens when the stock market closes, and what happens when the stock gets halted. So very similar. Ended up having the opening halt print, 87,000 share print that got filled at 228. So that created a big level for this trade. Well, since that time, it's been holding under it perfectly. So should it break over 228? Is it possible for this to have another run? Yeah, I think it's possible. I mean, I just don't want it to make a false breakout and then for it to get smoked and come right back down to 202 and it tanks. I mean, this stock has kind of known for that. So I'll put this on our watch list reluctantly. You know, if it ends up making the pop over 228, it will have my interest. All right. So Edwin, one of our trial members, just said he got into Boyle just now. You know, hey, listen, as a trial member, I always just have to say this to anyone. Everyone kind of joins from their own perspective, their own backgrounds, and they have their own accounts. Unless if you're already a very successful, consistently profitable day trader of equities, this being an ETF actually, but of equities of publicly traded company stocks, I would then suggest for you to follow our call outs and whatnot. But if not, and it's okay to say no, because that's the majority of new members that join CTU.  We don't want you to jump into a trade recklessly just because we have it on our watch list as a trial member. Namely, just make sure that you call our office, just schedule an appointment with your education advisor. We haven't done so already, at least. If you've done that, then perfect. But I'll just set the number to our office just in the chat board there for Edwin, for a couple of us just otherwise that joined us from this afternoon. All right, so Boyle ETF, right? We don't normally trade ETFs here outside of like maybe one or two. UVXY, we'll call out every now and then, which actually I should look at on a day like today. Cold, it was kind of a grinder of a move up today. I do call it out though at times. Oil, I mean, I'm sure it's going to trade inversely to the cold trade to a degree, right? So if cold's kind of rugged on the way up, this is kind of rugged on the way down. If you're short on it from earlier, then you're making some good money. But for right now, I'm not going to focus on this as much. All right, CENX aluminum stock, nice short. At least you could say that, right? I mean stock on the way down. It is shortable at the low of the day. This is exactly where you'd want to find a stock right now. So I like this trade. My only issue on this one, I wish it was trading more volume. I wish it was trading more volume per minute, trading about 3,000, 4,000 shares a minute. I mean, stock that we trade normally is trading a lot more than that per minute, folks. So it's a nice level on stock. It's going to be hard for me to ignore this and not put this on our list. It has a good iceberg order-ass support here at 817. So perhaps it can get down there to test that price and see what happens from that point. All right, there's a lot more, though, right? The market dropping off as much as it has today. A firm, like I had said, got rocked earlier this morning. So I want to take a look at this one right now again. And it's just off the lows, right? Very similar. So yeah, AFRM will definitely put on our list. Michael calling out roblox. These don't like trade together, like a firm and roblox. They're two totally separate companies. But it's interesting because anytime I think of AFRM, I just, for some reason, think of roblox. They just kind of go hand in hand as good volatile sideless stocks. So the second I saw Michael's call out there, I'm like, of course, let's check it out. And yeah, it's kind of making the same type of move, right? Roblox. All right, we'll put this on our list as well. Dropping off pretty nicely, pretty steadily with the market. I'm sure we'll find XPEV on the swatch list on the loser's side. At some point, Neo made a big drop off early this morning. It looks kind of weak. I mean, just kind of flat, if anything. Not really off the lows, but just kind of sideways here. What else we got? Carvana shortable from Trade Station today. Interesting. This also at the lows. Is this at all-time lows? Yeah, getting close. 650 is the all-time low, I believe, back from early November. So it's getting there. It's definitely getting there. I wouldn't mind putting this on our watch list either. Kind of like the bottom end of our watch list will all be all of the shorts, the firm, CENX, Roblox, Carvana. What else we got? I'm sure we got a lot more that looks like this, folks. I mean, that might not be down as much, but you let me know. NET. This one could be all right. Just got a thin book, so I'm kind of just going to skip over that, I guess, for right now. I was going to mention earlier inside the Chapor that they were watching a CRK, and at the time I was saying, hey, it was kind of dropping off steady there, nice move. Ended up bottoming out right around 14.74, 14.75, and bounced up a tiny amount. All right, so with the market down, obviously UVXY is going to be moving up, but it's not as volatile as we've seen it to be. So just keep that in mind, everything in perspective. I mean, you're not looking for that big explosive dollar move that we've seen this make in like 30, 45 minutes time. So this definitely is kind of moving a bit slower today. This would be the one ETF we'll throw on our watch list for right now. All right, let me know if there's anything else up, down, left, right, more than that 5%, folks. Probably more on the way down. Let me know if there's anything otherwise that we missed. DBGI, bounced back up. Hey, my trend line held. All right, so I said I'd come back to this. And with that in mind, I'll put this back on our watch list here. Nice bounce and move back up. Let's make sure 5 could hold now, namely as a support. 10,000 share order on the bid, actually, right off that price currently. So now or never. No pressure, DBGI. TXMD pulling back. So obviously this one not looking as good now. Andre, just asking for my thoughts on the spy. You know how about this? This could be something I could do, kind of kill two birds with one stone for all of a sudden, social media, Facebook Live, or, namely, YouTube. I'll put out a video in the next 48 hours, Andre. How about that? Kind of giving my thoughts on the spy mid to long term. A couple of things that we'll analyze. All right. Now, keep in mind, we'll also continue that conversation inside our swing trading pro course that we're going to continue next Friday. That should be coming up on, what date is that for us?  So on December 16th, Friday, we'll continue the swing trading pro course for those that have access to it. And we'll talk more about some trades that we've had our eye on. And now with the market dropping off, I may just bail out on Uber at this point. It really hasn't made a big squeeze up. So I'm still up like a minuscule amount now at this stage with the drop that we've had, but maybe we'll just jump that out, find a better trade. That'll be at 12 p.m. Eastern Time Grant, but that's next Friday. We'll give you all the formal reminders, all the good stuff coming up. It's on the website, though, on our student portal. It's under the calendar right there. I believe that you should see it there on the calendar, on the student portal. But again, we'll send out all the reminders. That's like just next week, next Friday. I got plenty of stuff in between. All right. So folks, for all of us otherwise on social media, there we go. Got a couple call-outs right now on YouTube. My apologies right there. Just checking the chat board for the first time there. So a lot of these we did cover TXMD, SHPH. We didn't necessarily cover this one as much. I don't think we talked about the pop at first. Pulled back down a little bit here and now trying to make a move back up and over three. I want to see a little bit more out of this trade before it gains my trust again. So I'll pass on it. But inside our live trading room, as Rich jumps back on the mic at 3 p.m. Eastern, then perhaps if it's moving better at that point, the SATX is just way too thin. I don't even know if this is halting on the way down right now. I don't think it is. There you go. It's not. I'm going to show how illiquid this stock is. This is a complete gamble stock. We wouldn't advocate anyone in our live trading room to follow this if anyone makes money on it. God bless. But this is literally rolling the dice, playing the slots, playing Blackjack. I kind of like Blackjack. But there's a place and a time. So now that CRM last one from one of us on YouTube here, back through the 135 level by Wednesday, I don't have anything to answer that on per se. If we get a sharper bounce within the market by that point, I would assume for CRM to retrace back up to a degree. But I don't really have much thoughts on that as much right now. I apologize. All right. There we go, folks. That was a bit of a lightning round addition right there. So in total, we got two, four, six, eight different stocks. We got UVXY, which is an ETF. But unless if you have a book map or unless if you're super familiar with UVXY, I wouldn't suggest for you to follow it. I'd suggest for you to follow the stocks that are on the watch list. All right. I'm going to post and tweet the list, folks. And then aside from that, I'll be in the chat board up until 3.30. Rich will be on the mic from 3.30, taking you folks going into the market close. If you see something, say something for all of us on social media, Facebook, or YouTube, if you have any questions, otherwise feel more than free to send it over to Josh at C2Trading.com. If you want to continue the conversation there or otherwise inside our live trading room, just go right down to the link on the yellow banner below the stream. I'll talk to you folks soon. Take care. See you next time.


The Rohingya crisis in Cox's Bazar has led to environmental and health challenges, particularly in solid-waste management. Due to the congested refugee camps, there is limited space to dispose of waste which is negatively impacting agricultural land use. To deal with this situation strategically, in April 2019, IOM Wash implemented a plastic recycling plant at Camp 24, which is currently operated by DSK. The plant serves approximately 20,668 individuals in both camps 24 and 25 and recycles around 125 tons of polythene per month. It produces six types of handy and useful products, including alphabet blocks, pavement slabs, pit cupboards, latin rings, ring slabs and writing slats. The mechanism operates with skilled human resource and heavy machinery. The plastic recycle plant helps to improve environmental situation and reduce the health hazards.


good afternoon everyone and and it's my honor to make such a such a sleek in this afternoon I will talk about the campaign comparison of safe and commercial solar sand this is our content we first we will introduce our company and then we will introduce the safe your and solid fire and the sky oh then we we will get your company or even all safe and solar sand and at the last start the speech we will give a performance test between safe and the sky oh first let me introduce Huawei our China our our company named AW Cloud and we are pure open-stack player in China and we are China's leading enterprise cloud service provider and we have broad deployment of production clouds in China and we have large-scale inflation operation in the background and highly diverse set of workloads and use case first let me introduce the safe oh everyone here should be very familiar with safe oh so I just give a shorter description of it safe is an open source object and it is delivered I then saw software defined storage solution safety distribute object system and it's highly scalable and it's running on general purpose community hardware this slide so so the architectural safe oh we can know from this we can all that we can all that safe the safe cluster is based upon rados and it provides the fair object and the device to users the safety the guiding the guiding population in cloud in in in cloud in cloud as a storage solution this is due to it's open open distribute feature okay safety has different types of common components the most in the most in the most important two components are OSD and the monitor the OSD is the OSD demands store the data handle handle data replication recovery backfilling rebalance and provides some monitoring mission to safe monitor by checking on the safe OSD demand for heartbeat the monitor the monitor the safe monitor maintain the maps or the cluster including in including the monitor map the OSD map and the placement to group mental map and the crash map okay next we will go into introduction about the scale scale is a software software only solution it's in it's installed on the common community servers it's using existing servers local disk and line to create what you said and you suppose it expose the server the local detector disk to the shadow block storage this is the size of shows the architecture of the scale the scale architecture is very much like a safe it has three different types of demand the first is MDM you can see create equal to the monitor in safe it's config and monitor the scale system cluster scale system you can deploy deployment deploy it to the MDM in cluster mode or single mode the another time another OSD the another demand is the SDS you can equal to the OSD in safe cluster the SDS manager the capacity of a single server and the data science the different there are only one SDS in in one server this is different from the OSD you know that you have one OSD for one disk but you have one SDS for one server and the last demand is the SDC the SDC is used to expose the scale scale volumes as the blocker device when you map to scale volumes then you can get a device named the D.U.V. and S.I.N.I.A.B.C. like this device then you can use it the next so commercial storage is solid file solid file is very famous and it's a it's a collection of node hardware and software the solid file storage cluster is a collection of nodes you must have at least four nodes to one to two wrong solid file cluster of course you can add one add node to existing solid file cluster the the the service when to be interrupted during your adding the node and the node the performance and the capacity of the node will be automatically used by the cluster SkyL has different networks for for different usage there the nodes there are 10 GB as a net user to connect the nodes in the storage cluster and you can manager the cluster using one GB as a net and the client can be connected to the server you then 10 GB a network depends on the SCSI it's easy to scout out you can add node to to the cluster okay next we'll give a comparison all these all these storage system first is deployment of safe safe how so many deployment tools you can use the tool deployment to the safe cluster for example safe deploy safe disk Ansible, Parbit, Chaff and C2 C2 is open-sourced by Intel by Intel last month even although there are so many tools you can deploy a safe cluster but for Naio who have no experience with safe it's hard to deploy deploy a safe cluster he it's this is because they will have so many concepts and configure parameters the new person and if the person don't understand the concepts and the configuration parameters he usually get in trouble when he deploy a safe cluster people or anyways safe safe like user friendly tool your friendly tool to help people to do the deployment and the next is deployment of scale there are two ways to deploy and scale cluster the first one way is manual you can deploy it one step by step or the other way is you can use that is interrelation manager manager first you the recommended way is using the interrelation manager first you install the interrelation manager and then you can log in it log in it then you can log in it using Chrome RIE the welcome window that appear in this window you can perform you can do your deployment first you should upload the package you want to in total and the second you should how upload the topology fair the topology fair is you can think it as a crash map in CFO it's defined as the MDM node as the S node STC node and the networks that will be used you know in safe there are two networks the cluster network and and the public network but in scale there are more different more different networks you can define networks used to the communication between MDM and the network you can define a non-network you to the communication between MDM and STS and you can also define a non-network to communication for for STS and STC also you can define the in safe cluster you can define define which OSD or which OSD located in which pool in the same way in scale you can also define which disk between belong to which pool so you can define SSD pool or HDD pool in a cluster up to you up the topology fair isn't CS3 fair you can iterate with Excel or as a file editor and when you have done it you should upload it to the entire manager after that you can begin your into begin your interaction what you want what you need to what you need to do is only a click click the mouse after it stage if you have any error then you can read read down it again and you correct your correct and error and read read do it again okay the last deployment is solid affair solid affair doesn't you you need a nothing in talk in twin star if you want to use the solid affair they are the solid affair story nodes are deployment as an application with solid affair element OS in target and ready to be configured what you need to do is just the initial the storage in the solid affair node and I did it to the cluster then if there are more than four nodes then the cluster then the solid affair cluster it works okay next we'll go okay this table shows the operation and management management all deep all these storage fair system storage system from they can from this table you can you can get that the majority majority are safe the majority operation and management are safe can only be done using the common line interface but the solid affair and the scale how the web UI and the rest gateway to operation and managerial storage system the other way we as I'm for safe but right now it's up to now it is not right day to for usage features and all the methods first let's compare the features of the storage system from this table you can know that are these are these storage systems how the how the basic features safe only safe can spot fair object and the block skyline solid affair can only spot a block of storage but come out to the the commercial storage safer locks or some advanced features for example or the application come come compression and I OPS can guarantee in a cloud environment the I OPS guarantee is very useful because our tenants show the usually the our tenants show the same storage so it's very useful but safe who cannot spot it right now up to now of course you can do it you can do it you will kill but it's not perfect way scale is best has the has the most features all the methods best features he sorry fair cannot control the max LPS or volume but also you the story fair sorry fair system can control the minimum LPS or volume are these the storage the system can be integrated with ice platform for example open stack and then solar but safe can only support to open stack and then solar skyline solid affair can support to open stack hyper V the one more and then solar okay this table compares the volume message in the storage system are these the storage system can support basic volume method for example creating deleting snap shopping resizing and so on but the other big drawback in safe safe doesn't support the queue LPS sighting that is what I have say in last slide that is a QoS support guarantee we next is integrating with the open stack from this side you can know that safe is the best integrating in for open stack it's the same is integrating with open stack component for example including swift singer glass and the Noah but the skyline the story fair can only integrated with the singer the new open stack project Mar Nila can also integrated with the safe okay I trust we in the past we have to a performance test between safe and the sky I this is our test environment we have for we have for nodes for this test each node have have both the SSD and HDD for our test our test and there's deep the configuration detail you can get from this slide we use the FIO and the VD for our test okay this is LPS and the latency we have the result we have to get the left the left histogram shows the LPS all our test so the L is much better than safe in both the SSD pool and HDD pool in SSD pool the LPS or Skyo is more than six times or safe the safe so it's a huge gap between them but in HDD pool they are equal they are closer to each other or cause the skyo is better than safe and the right histogram is latency or the latency or these two to storage system the latency or Skyo is less than safe this latency refers refer to the latency when the cluster is at when the cluster at the full load so it's more this value is much more much is much bigger than the node when then is much bigger than much bigger than the latency when the storage system in the in a normal load so we go into going comparing between between them we use VD Bench to get the data or the the cluster cluster latency at a different node and this one is not very clearly okay I hold description the latency of Skyo no more than the SSD pool or HDD pool is less than one millisecond but for a safer the latency is always more than two or two millisecond the sky the latency of Skyo is smart is a smart line at they are very close they are the value is very close when Skyo at a different load but for safe the latency is increased when the increase the latency is increased when the load is increased okay the right the left his ground shows the cluster stability under certain load we use VD Bench to to to to to to product 600 IO request to the system then we get actual actual IO request IO request we request record the value then we get the left histogram in this histogram you can see that both the sky both the sky are both these two line are both these two have a fraction but the the the safe line is more more instance and more more instant fraction than Skyo so this means that the safe cluster is not so stability when you have have enough load okay this slide shows what happened when scaling out when scan when scaling out are scaling in the left the left the left the chart we show the the Skyo cluster when when adding are deleting a node when deleting a node the black line the black line shows the delete when we deleting a sds node from from Skyo cluster the the cluster have set have several seconds can process any process cannot process any request so the why the request the IO is zero and but so just several seconds after that so the cluster has the has the ability to process the request and the several means later the cluster the cluster the recovery and the the whole LPS is less than the less than the than less than than the cluster we the more I still as the red line so the cluster adding on adding on sds and you see the same like the deleting a node the cluster has a recovery time in this time the cluster can the LPS of the cluster is the flexion is the flexion and I trust the LPS the LPS of the cluster is the recovery and and the marches then the beginning okay the right chart we show we show what will happen when we when the crash map has changed in in safe cluster the right line is the default we have we have not changed the default can can background configuration parameters when we adding are deleting an OSD the the class the crash map changes and the the cluster began to recovery began to recovery began to load balance the the data at this time at during this time there are no the the LPS of the cluster are either very close to zero the that is me the whole car the safe cluster cannot process the client request but if we set these two configuration parameters the OSD max the backfield at set it as one and set OSD recovery max actual as one then we get to the black line when we when the crash map changes the cluster can still can still process the client request so but for for but for for some every every every person you will see for may know we we need to set a recovery limit if you if we have we have to we have to change the crash map but not everyone know which can configuration we we had to set okay what I mean is that the safe one lacks some some tool to help people help people know the no are all its can configurations okay this is a summary first a safe need a more user friendly deployment and the measurement tool for user to deploy a safer cluster and the second safe likes advantage storage feature such as the QoS guarantee the duplication complete completion especially the QoS guarantee is very useful in the cloud storage solution of course the safety is how some some best some good value safety is the best integration for open stack if you configure a safer as the client stand and know a backend you can put you can use you can depend the copy on right to clone feature and you can put instance boot a lot of instance in I told at once is in in second level okay the first safety acceptable for HDD but not good enough for performance disco this we can get this this conclusion from our test on safe and a sky all safe has a lot of communication parameter but likes all relevant instruction and we relation to all safety so safe is not very very easy to configure its to configure its parameter okay that's it thank you


Welcome to NTN Nightly. I am Jesse Leonce. This edition stops stories. Students at the National Sports Academy are urged by Prime Minister Hon. Alan Shastney to take advantage of the unique opportunity the school provides. The new beginning's transit home creates a pathway for youth at risk and the Lightning Aquatic Swim Club makes a splash in its back-to-school drive. The nation's students return to the classroom on Monday 7th September 2020 as the new academic year opened. The enforcement of COVID-19 protocols was in full effect as the ministries of education and health worked toward a safe learning environment amid the pandemic. Chief Education Officer Dr. Fiona Philip-Meyer has called on parents to help their children understand the protocols and adhere to them. We do have mass breaks. There is a provision for the use of face shields but we continue to speak about the hand washing because we know that our children will interact socially. They should also interact socially but we need to maintain our hand washing as a constant practice which is based on the advice of our health professionals. Dr. Meyer says several training sessions were held with the various stakeholders in order to ensure a safe environment for all. So we've had training for our cooks, we've had training for our drivers who are on the subsidy program. Additionally, the Department of Education has met with the Minibus Association and other members of environmental health as well as the Department of Health all in the interest of looking at our various stakeholders. We've also met with the National Workers Association, the Central Teachers Union you know all of that looking at the various stakeholders our support staff, our teachers, our administrators how best can we pull our resources together with our parents and the wider populace. Chief Education Officer Dr. Fiona Philip Meyer and while the academic year officially opened Monday 7th September a number of schools will reopen at a later date due to rehabilitation works. Monterey Poe Passions combined, Denry Primary and the Larissus Combined Schools will reopen on Wednesday 9th September 2020. Entrepôt Secondary, Marchie Combined and Liseton Combined Schools will reopen on Monday 14th September 2020. In the meantime, Prime Minister Hon. Alan Chastney paid a visit to the National Sports Academy on Monday as the students and teachers ushered in the new school year. The visit follows a tour by the Prime Minister of Schools on Friday 4th September. We have more in this report. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Chastney surprised students at the National Sports Academy with a visit as they settled in on the first day of the academic year. The School of Excellence in Sports is the first and only boarding school on Ireland. Accompanied by officials of the Ministry of Education Prime Minister Chastney interacted with the teachers and assessed the physical works done at the school. Wanting to head directly from the students Hon. Chastney visits at individual classrooms and is chanted with the aspiring professionals. He encouraged them to utilize their time wisely and capitalize on the opportunities that come before them. In times of uncertainty like right now, the most important thing I think is to focus on the things that you know to be true. So things that you don't know, it's okay not to know it. But focus on the things that you do know.  Do not use this as an opportunity not to focus on your sport. And maintain if you are not doing it already and if you have not figured this out, the only way to be successful in life is to do the best. The visit to the National Sports Academy was preceded by a tour of schools on Friday, 4th September. The prime minister along with the Minister for Education Hon. Dr. Gail Rigobot and education officials spent the day witnessing firsthand the rehabilitation works at the various schools. At the Clinton Mason Memorial School, construction crews were busy undertaking electrical and plumbing works, painting and installing safety and security measures. Theodore Charles is the principal of the Clinton Mason Memorial School. You have a school which has been there for years and yes there is some fencing at the back which is not a hundred percent, but the entrance is just open to everybody and anything. And it was causing a lot of risk issue for our students and our staff and safety was put in serious questions and after writing to the Ministry of Education I'm very pleased that they have actually decided yes during this summer time repair works that they would facilitate us and we are glad that this is really happening right now. Any little bits that's not done I don't think it's going to seriously affect our reopening. Principal Charles commended the prime minister for embarking on the tour, stating that it indicates to students, teachers and parents the level of commitment Hon. Shassane has to the education sector. What the prime minister has done is that he's actually shown an interest in what is happening at the school and I'm very pleased that he came but at least we'll probably like to see him a bit more often at our schools throughout the island. Over the largesse combined school repairs to the roof were being done along with painting and electrical works. Our students will be walking into brand new classrooms with brand new ceiling well lit because I can say I'm quite impressed with the electrical works which has been done. The school is no longer dark it is now well lit. I say hallelujah to this. Our students have been given some brand new furniture as well so when they come in it's going to be a lot of brand new things for them. When I first came the school was a bit dark and coming to the school on an evening but right now with the electrical works which has been done even the outside of the school has some really lovely lights. So this I can say it really leaves the face of the school. And for all schools on island they too have received much-desired facelifts from the Government Information Service. Lisa Joseph reports in. The new beginnings transit home has become the first institution on island to complete aggression replacement training for juveniles at risk. We have a report on a graduation ceremony that was held for the participants. Eight young ladies in the care of the new beginnings transit home are better equipped to kick antisocial habits after successfully completing the first ever aggression replacement training art in St. Lucia. For ten weeks, three days a week the girls were engaged in the three components of art social skills, moral reasoning and anger control. Art is a program based on habilitation in teaching which was never previously learnt. So we have social skills we have anger control and we have moral reasoning. Sometimes we have our kids and we just assume they know what to say thank you, they know how to say but there are some children who have never taught how to say thank you, how to say please. So that is where art come in where we teach them new skills or maybe sometimes skills they have learnt but just way of displaying it. That was art facilitator Maria Flavian. The art initiative falls under the juvenile justice reform project the JJRP at the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice Local Government and Empowerment. The project's social research officer Lavonne Verdon Daisy says efforts have been ongoing to run the aggression replacement training at all institutions that manage juveniles at risk who have displayed aggressive behaviour. The new beginnings transit home is the first institution on the island to complete the training from the JJRP. This is the first session at Transit Home and so you very much trend setters with regards to starting and completing we really hope that this was useful for you we really hope that you continue to use the lessons that you learnt and the friendships that you make and the support that you have to use these live skills. I say live skills because these are things that we don't just need to use this week or that they were only that they were only necessary for the last 10 weeks but that as you continue to feel life that you apply all of the lessons learnt and you share it. Transit Home Manager Avis Inglis thanked the Ministry for offering this special training and commended the girls for the participation and application of the skills learnt so far. Now I know that you have been practicing because the staff would come back and say certain things that children are practicing they are breathing, they are doing such and such and we know that you are practicing. What we want from you is when you leave Transit Home do not leave those skills by the big gate.  Attending the app program it was so nice it was really nice getting to know something new and getting to help my behaviours and I know it will help me in the later life as I go on. Atos is not something I was really looking forward to the first time I heard about Atos like me I don't want to go to that I was in the class it was good I wanted to sleep because in the beginning it was boring for me but afterwards I got the I understand what Atos really was about I would like to say thank you to Antibivia and Antimaria especially for coming up with the idea to introduce Atos to us at the new beginning Transit Home and I would like to tell them that we really appreciated it and it will go a long way in our life not only now and in the class but when we leave the walls of the new beginning Transit Home that we will still embrace it and use it out there and introduce it to our friends and just lend them my hand the new beginnings Transit Home is a temporary residential place of safety for children between the ages of 2 to 16 years who are victims of child abuse and severe neglect and who are in need of care and protection from the Government Information Service Rajvaro Lawrence reporting the processing of passengers at the ferry terminal in Castries has been made more efficient with the installation of a baggage scanner the equipment was handed over to the customs and excise department by the Ministry of Tourism under the OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness Project more in this report from Lisa Joseph The World Bank funded OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness Project ORTCP is being implemented in Grenada St. Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Lucia with one of the key objectives being the facilitation of the movement of tourists within the participating countries using ferries it is against its background that a request by the customs and excise department to the Ministry of Tourism was fulfilled under the ORTCP project manager Dr Lorraine Nicholas noted the importance of the ferry terminal to St. Lucia's tourism travel sector the number of passengers using the ferry service had increased over the years and that the baggage scanner will equip customs officials with an essential tool to inspect customer baggage in a fast and efficient manner the scanner will allow the detection of illegal weapons and other items in much more efficient manner than human intervention also the scanner can be used to scan many pieces of luggage quickly improving the speed at which passengers are processed so we are very pleased that we were able to contribute to expediting the passenger clearance process here at the ferry terminal Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Information Broadcasting Culture and Creative Industries Donald Invite says the ferry terminal plays an integral role in the Caribbean travel markets particularly Martinique, Guadeloupe and Dominica and as such outfitting the facility of the necessary technology and infrastructure will serve the industry well over the past two years there's been significant upgrade in the product at the ferry terminal but of course we know with regards to the physical upgrade there must be a level of infrastructure upgrade to support that with ICT customs they're very dear to our heart as officers of the government service and we know the sort of strive they've been under at this ferry terminal with the volume of baggage that normally comes with the visitors and our returning nationals and how they've been able to process out of our OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness project one of the things for the ministry was to critically assess within the services that are provided within the castries basin especially how we could improve those services and at the same time maintain customer satisfaction at the floor so for us working with customs it was a no-brainer to identify the needs of the ferry terminal and to be able to upgrade it with the infrastructure the technology that is required to support the human resources already given by government Acting Comptroller of Customs Peter Chico welcomed the baggage scanner indicating that the use of technology would improve the department's risk management capabilities Extend Lucia Customs and Excise department has been calling for scanners and non-intrusive technology equipment for quite some time particularly when it relates to the examination of passengers and passenger baggage I am certain P.S. that this donation from your ministry will go a long way in helping the customs department meet its mandate to examine clear passengers, provide that quality service that is always expected of the customs and Excise department The customs officers received training in the use of the baggage scanner by the director of technical services at Sextos Technologies and a baggage carousel has also been provided and will be installed at the ferry terminal From the Government Information Service, Lisa Joseph reports in The Lightning Aquatics Swim Club has made a donation of school supplies to the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, Local Government and Empowerment This is

Leave them alone and do what they want to do. Then I will start to do what they want to do. My name is Brown Mimakiki. The Health Department can offer services. It is a different facility in the health center to assist the people who destroy the health center so that it can be moved to the health center. The health center is for people who die in the health center, people who are panicking, people who just want to come to the health center to buy food, people who have visited the health center so that they can come to the health center to examine the health center. If you are not able to come to the health center you can come to the health center with a lot of coaches, a lot of organizations to assist you in doing that. We have done education by...
