what the heck is the best way to keep your files working by cleaning them. Hola woodworkers, Paul Croson here, small workshop guy. Well, you're trying to shape a piece of wood and make it really precise and nice for something. You've got some really nice files and you want to keep it working well. Well, there's something you should do, particularly if it's a really fine file. It'll build up with resin and with sawdust in the grooves and if you let that keep building up and sit there and put it away that way, you know, it's not going to work as well as it could. There's a couple of simple solutions. One is to have your compressor nearby and just blow it out of there. That usually works pretty good. And then the second way is just to have a really inexpensive and handy little super thin wire brush. This one is from Osborne and made in the USA SS and I'll put a link down below. It's an Amazon affiliate link. So let's see, here's a file that's kind of built up in here and I go with the grooves. So I see which way my grooves are. So there's my sawdust cleaned out of that puppy. Let's do the other side. Simple, easy, quick, effective. Keep your files shaped up and even if you're using a rasp or something, use it to clean up your rasp or even files with a little thicker stuff. Anyway, keep your file clean, they'll work better. This has been another one of our What the Heck is series of videos designed for beginning woodworkers. If you find some value in them, give us a like and a subscription and a comment would be really appreciated. And as I always say, you can't stop the waves but you can learn to serve.

You can experience permanent deliverance. Listen, the life of the believer is meant to be one of victory. God did not create you to struggle under the power of these strongholds.  I believe God wants you to hear this. First, I want to look at what is a stronghold. 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 4 and 5 say this, For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pooling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Now, the context of this portion of Scripture is Paul the Apostle defending the legitimacy of his apostolic authority. Certain pretenders who were very jealous of what God was doing with Paul the Apostle began to speak against him, saying that he wasn't a true apostle.  So, Paul the Apostle responds to this, and he calls their slander. He calls their gossip. He calls their arguments and reasons. He calls those things a stronghold. Now, a stronghold in the natural realm is like a fortress or a castle or a wall. Any structure that prohibits the movement of one army into the land that belongs to the one who owns the stronghold. It's a term of war. It's a term of describing a place of safety and strength. And so the enemy can build strongholds in our lives. This is where God's people need deliverance. God's people need deliverance from strongholds and spiritual bondage. And the root of all strongholds is deception. Paul the Apostle compares these imaginations, these deceptions to these mighty structures that are difficult to remove. And so he says, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. In other words, we wage a spiritual war, but mighty through God to the pooling down of strongholds. I love that phrase, pooling down of strongholds. It's describing the utter obliteration of these structures in our lives, casting down imaginations. And every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. So we come against these strongholds with truth. These strongholds are points of deception. This is how the enemy works against the believer. This is how a stronghold works. Strongholds first begin with a lie.  Strongholds begin with a lie. That lie, once it's believed, becomes deception. Now listen to me very closely here.  The only way a lie gains power is if it goes from being a lie to deception. A lie is anything that contradicts the truth. And once you believe that lie, that belief in the lie is what we call deception. If someone lies to you and you don't believe it, you're not deceived.  That deception becomes the pattern that governs your thoughts and your feelings. Those thoughts, those feelings begin to follow after the way of that deception or that stronghold. And then those thoughts and feelings begin to affect your behavior.    That behavior becomes your habits. Those habits are daily repetitions or frequent repetitions that eventually become life cycles. And this is where people don't make the distinction that they should.  The cycles, that's what you get stuck in when you go back and forth. A lifestyle of bad habits, and then a lifestyle where you're not committing those bad habits, and then a lifestyle of bad habits again, and then a lifestyle of not committing those bad habits. This is what happens to many Christians. They'll get free for six months and then be bound for six months. Free for three weeks, then bound for three weeks. So those habits, that's the frequent performance of something that you do. But those cycles, now this is where the habit comes on again, then off again. And some even repeat these cycles in years, four or five years at a time, 10 years at a time, one good decade, one bad decade. And those cycles, that's what we refer to as spiritual bondage.  And here's the problem. Many Christians try to address the bondage itself or the symptoms, and they never address the root lie. They never address the root lie that is actually causing the deception. So the root lie remains hidden under all the symptoms. That bondage produces many different effects in our emotions, in our lives. And those cycles repeat again and again. But until you get back to addressing that lie, you're addressing the result and not the root, the symptom and not the source. Now, when you learn to expose the lies, then you learn to get to these spiritual strongholds at their very root, not surface level to where you feel good for a few weeks and then have to go back to get deliverance again, but instead addressing the lie at its root, uprooting it, removing it, and then you watch the fruit of that stronghold begin to wither. Now, we're going to look at the stronghold and then reveal the truth that can break its power. Legalism at its root is an attempt to do in man's ability what can only be done in God's ability. Now, you've often heard the term religious being thrown around at people as a Christian insult. You know, people get into debates and arguments online. And instead of going to the scripture, instead of being kind to one another, instead of working things out, what's the most common insult thrown at other Christians in any Christian debate on any topic?  Well, it actually has a meaning and it's not just an insult that we use and it's not and shouldn't be used in that way anyway. But religion is man's attempt to do what only God can do. It's to take on certain burdens that God did not tell us to take on. Someone is not religious just because they insist on biblical accuracy. Someone is not religious just because they insist on holy living. Someone is not religious just because they insist on honoring God, honoring God, living holy, biblical accuracy. These are not marks of religious people. Those are marks of God's people. What is religion? What is legalism? What is the stronghold of legalism? It's this mindset that at its core thinks that the responsibility is on self instead of on God. Sure, we surrender, sure, we submit, sure, we cooperate and obey and trust and have faith. We do play a part, but the main part is God. Now, some of the symptoms of this stronghold include but are not limited to fear. Constantly questioning your salvation. Self-hatred, a warped view of God, a warped view of self.   So these symptoms, fear, constantly questioning your salvation, self-hatred, a warped view of God, these are all symptoms of the lie that is legalism. Now, let me clarify this. I'm not saying that we can just live however we want. The Bible says just the opposite of that. The Bible makes it clear that we are to live holy. And holiness is the absolute standard for the true believer. If someone is truly born again, they will have new desires. If someone is truly born again, they will look to please God. If someone is truly born again, they will begin to disdain their sin. They become frustrated with themselves because they don't want to do those things that offend the Lord or displease him. And so holiness has a place. Do not hear what I'm not saying. We ought to live holy. And by the way, let me add to that, there are consequences for unholy living. There are issues that will arise. Sin is still very powerfully destructive in the life of even the believer. If the believer walks in disobedience, sin will destroy. If the believer walks in disobedience, God will chastise. Why? Because he loves you.  If you're his child, he corrects you because he loves you. So let me emphasize that because I don't want anyone misunderstanding me. Absolutely. We ought to live holy. Absolutely. We ought to strive to please God. Absolutely. Sin has consequences. Absolutely. God will correct sin. But we have to be rid of this performance-based Christianity, this points-based approach to God. And this worm mentality that we have has to go. What do I mean by worm mentality? Well, many promote self-hatred as if it's humility. We understand that compared to God, we are nothing. We understand that there's nothing we could be or do without God. We understand that God is far greater than we could ever comprehend. And that compared to him, there is no comparison. God is great and we need him. We depend upon him. He's the source of life and truth. We should reverence him. But we have to be rid of this idea that the more we hate ourselves, the more spiritual we are.  Do you realize that God loves you? Do you realize that the Bible says in John 1-12, but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.  I can hear the women saying, well, daughters too.  If we men have to be the bride of Christ, you have to be the sons of God as well. Why? Because there's inheritance in sonship. So we are the sons of God. We're not these little worm-like creatures. Yes, we were sinners.   But we stand now in the righteousness of Christ by faith. And the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5-17, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. Now remember, I told you that one of the symptoms of the stronghold of legalism is this idea that you're living in the constant fear of losing your salvation. Let me show you the difference between a faith perspective on salvation and a legalistic perspective on salvation. And keep in mind that this is not about the debate about once saved, always saved. Can we lose our salvation or not? We're not talking about that right now. What we're talking about is the confidence that we have in what he's done in our lives and how we stand in him now. So take a look at this. This is the difference between faith and legalism. When you stand in faith, you see a distinct bold line between saved and unsaved. And you know where you stand. We have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. If you've placed your faith in Christ, now you are saved, saved versus unsaved. And then you look at legalism and the weight of you that. Legalism causes you to see salvation as more of a gradient. To where there's this blurry line, you don't quite know where you are and maybe if you perform better, you get a little bit more on the saved side. And if you have some days where you mess up, now you're a little more on the unsaved side and you don't really know where you are in the process. There is no confidence in your salvation. And you believe now you can regress into a former state. And you believe now that demons can reenter.  You believe now that the Holy Spirit abandons you. And it's this gradient. You don't really know where and nothing's really certain. Am I free? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Am I saved? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Is God pleased with me? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. And it's this gradient. And so in faith, we know I'm saved. Yes, I don't always perform with perfection, but his grace makes up for that. This doesn't mean I should go on sinning. But this simply means that I know where I stand with him while I am being perfected. While I am being perfected, I know where I stand with him. Legalism, I have no idea. I have no idea from day to day. And so I live in torment. I live in fear. I live constantly questioning my salvation. And that's the difference between faith and legalism. Now, to help you better understand salvation, let me show you something here. The Bible says in Colossians 2.13, I'll just read this verse to you, and then I want to show you something else.  So here we see that those who are unredeemed were dead in their sin. So we are no longer dead in our sin. We are alive in Christ. Now watch this. Let me show you this. This is what I call the Hall of Salvation. Right here, you'll see a distinct line between unredeemed and then having entered the process of sanctification.  Right there on the left, you see the unredeemed. That's what I just read to you, Colossians 2.13. And then that first line right there is the door of justification. Romans 3.24 says, Yet God in his grace freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins. So now we have justification. What is justification? Justification is my legal standing. It's a pronouncement. It's a legal pronouncement that's been declared over me. So when I am justified now, I've been declared as forgiven. Justification is my position. And it means that I am free from the penalty of sin. So you cross over that door now, and now we enter into sanctification, which is the process. So justification is your position. Sanctification is the process. And sanctification is you being free from the power of sin. Romans 6.1 through 2. Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not. There's the answer to anyone who says that we should go on sinning. No. Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 2 Thessalonians 2.13 says, But we ought to always thank God for you, brothers and sisters, loved by the Lord. Because God shows you as first fruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. So now we're in the process of sanctification. And many believers wonder where they are in the hallway. On good days, maybe you take a couple steps forward. On bad days, maybe you take a couple steps back. But as long as you're through that door of justification, you may not be perfect, but you are in the process of being perfected. Then finally, over there on the right is the door of glorification. Philippians 3.21 says, He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same power with which He will bring everything under His control. Now, I battled with this religious mindset for quite a while. Because I was raised in church. I had memorized Scripture. I believed that God loved me so long as I didn't miss a Sunday. I believed that God loved me so long as I met my quota of Bible reading. Now, again, I have to say this because I know that sometimes our minds tend to hear what the speaker is not saying. You should read your Bible. You should pray. You should seek the face of God. You should live clean. That's your reasonable service. That's your worship back to the Lord. Absolutely. But you have to know where the place of works is. We don't do good works to be saved. We do good works because we are saved. If you are truly saved, then you will truly desire to do works that are truly good. You'll desire holiness. You'll desire to be rid of sin. Now, this stronghold has many manifestations, doctrines, and you can see them at work in your mind and in your heart. Like, for example, whenever I would hear preaching on the wrath of God, even though I was born again, even though I was saved, even though I was living clean, for some reason, just fear would grip my heart and I thought there's nothing I can do to be free from the wrath of God, even though I was already saved. And so you see there how the enemy can twist certain truths. He can take truths, twist them, and then leave you bound in a stronghold of legalism. So, legalism, again, religious legalism, at its root, is the attempt to do in man's ability what can only be done in God's. The symptoms are fear, constantly questioning your salvation, not knowing where you stand with God, not knowing where you stand in your freedom. Am I free? Am I not? Am I bound? Am I not? It's self-hatred. It's a warped view of God. But the Bible says this in 1 John 4, 16 and 18. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment. Now watch this here. Here's holiness. But we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. So there, by putting on the righteousness of Christ through faith and by submitting to the process of sanctification, we have confidence because we live like Jesus. There's grace and truth together. We must live holy, and we can live holy because of the grace of God. So such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, watch this, this is so powerful. And I pray that you hear this and are liberated. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment. And this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. Whoa. How convicting that is, but in a good way. Because sometimes it can feel so hopeless being stuck in these religious mindsets. Wondering if God's got that list being kept against you. His presence does not depend upon your performance but on His promise. Now I'm not saying, I'll say this one more time just to be clear. I'm not saying we can go on sinning and living however we want. What I'm saying is that even in our imperfection God's grace works with us not to excuse the sin but to help eradicate that sin as we continue in the process of sanctification. Now let's pray that God would begin to break strongholds. Today's your day of deliverance. Believer, today is your day of deliverance. Father, in the name of Jesus we come against every attack of the enemy and I pray that this anointing would break every stronghold in the mighty name of Jesus. In the name of the one whom I serve I break addiction. In the name of the one whom I serve I break every chain of bondage and I command every demonic power to be silent. Be quiet, stop speaking in the mighty name of Jesus. And Lord I pray you would give your people grace and strength to do that which they ought to do. Holy Spirit I pray you remind them of the truth but the truth might set them and keep them free. But today be a day of great liberty in the mighty name of Jesus we pray. I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen, write it in the comments. If you want to help us in our mission to continue seeing people saved, healed, delivered and empowered through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit as we go around the world holding events and as we use media as a tool and get behind this ministry. Lend us a helping hand. There are thousands of supporters all around the world who every month pour resources into this ministry. The ministry might keep going and growing strong and we are growing. Listen, you cannot stop a move of the Holy Spirit. The enemy may try and he doesn't like when people are saved. He doesn't like when the gospel is preached. He doesn't like when the truth is ministered. The devil doesn't want to see people saved, delivered, healed and empowered. The devil wants to do everything he can to stop that.  You want to get on board with that. You want to help this ministry. You want to be involved.   Remember my friend, nothing is impossible with God.


Hello there, it's been a while. Yes, it's Friday, 27th of July. July is almost over, but 2.8 is not. It's actually still in alpha state. It means that it focuses mainly on fixing crashes, fixing, like making the software stable enough and then continue to actually make it more hardware and everything, but mainly to get it stable for production. I remember the team of Spring open movie project are working here at the Institute every day working with Blender 2.8. So it is getting improved and fixed and yes, things are happening. And in the meantime, the UI team, I also known as Willem and myself, Willem is focusing on getting the call for content and matcabs reviewed and selecting which ones are the ones that are gonna ship with Blender. So for a time being, this is the current selection as of two days ago, but next week, maybe Monday or early next week, there will be like a selection for the ones that are gonna ship with Blender. In 2.7, there's like 24 matcabs. In 2.8, we don't really need that many matcabs because now the matcabs are mixed with the colors of your scene. You can have a single color or you can mix it with the color or random colors. So the possibilities are way more if you have like a white-ish matcap, you can combine it and make it the color that you want. Also, you can flip the matcabs now within Blender. That feature has been there for a while now. So if you have a matcap, you can flip it. So it's like having two matcabs. So the same with the brightness on either side. So there's more options now and custom matcabs. You can make your own. So really maybe Blender doesn't need to ship with so many or like 80 like other sofas do. I think the selection would be nice to have like a variation. But once it's there selected, I'm gonna show them in a different video. The other call for content that is happening is the workspaces. This is being done like 15 days. I think more, it feels like way more 15 days ago that we made a call for content so people can contribute their way of working and set up a workspace. So some very interesting discussions having coming on here. And there is some of the workspaces having pre-selected. So I'm moving those that I think they're handy into the first blog post and I'm just basically testing them myself. So for example, I went through a few of them, four or five of them. And this one, for example, is what I think it would be nice to have for modeling. So basically it's a one big viewport without a timeline which is a different thing from Blender usually ships with a timeline. And I think it's better to not have it so you can give more, you can make people discover it. If it's covered the other workspaces, so if it's like, yeah, to make animation, then you go to animation. And then if you want to do shading, and once they are set, I don't want to talk too much about it because if they're gonna change anyway and they're gonna be polished over time but just to tell you that we're working on it. So the scripting is a very interesting one. It's like a one big, one big editor for editing the text, the console, the info and shading. It's been worked on. The main thing is that the viewport is in lookdev mode. So it means that it's previewing. If you're using Cycles, it's gonna preview in Eevee. If you're using Eevee, it's Eevee. Anyway, but it means that it can be slow. It can be start compiling the shaders and everything. So I don't know if it should be like by default once you open Blender because it can be slow and big scenes. Or it could tell you beforehand, I mean, there are things that can be done. Then there's the UV editing and then there is the UV editing is mainly just the editor for editing that. So I think I managed to crash my Blender, no? Yes. No, it's probably still switching. So what I'm gonna do is just open another Blender because you can open as many Blenders as you want. So this Blender, this is the default. Yes. I, as you can see, there's no workspaces because they're not there yet and they're gonna be added all at once. And one of the workspaces that was suggested it's the grace pencil. So a whole workspace just dedicated to the animation. This was designed by the grace pencil team. This image was sent by Matias Mendiola and it's really like the 3D one but mainly focused on the viewport. One thing though that they requested that is actually a very good point is that when you're doing grace pencil usually your default strokes are black and the background is some sort of like paper like background or at least brighter than the usual. So when you're doing 3D, having a dark background it's pretty normal, right? But when you're actually doing a grace pencil animation to the animation you want to have a brighter background, right? Like some sort of paper, like that's pretty normal. So the feature was requested and one of the developers was awesome enough to make it. So thank you Jorun Bakker for making it. Basically now we have a option for the background. Before it used to be a toggle for the world background. Now it's more like you can select from three options. One is the theme. Basically it's just whatever you choose in your theme so that doesn't change. Then there is the world background which is the one that is used in the world. So you can choose if you're using notes here in the world, viewport display and you can change your color. So this is better world. So it means that all the editors are gonna have it and if I go to another workspace like let's go to modeling workspace it's as long as I have, I don't have the setting here world is gonna use it and it's shared. But this new option is called viewport. So you basically choose a color for your viewport which is very nice because it means that you can have per viewport colors. So you can have one with a color and it's all the same data, the same everything. It's just for that one viewport. So you can have one with the actual background like you have the camera view for example and then one where you draw or when you do anything really. So this comes in very handy for specific workflows. So yes, thank you Jeroen for adding that. It was added today and also was reviewed by Clement Foucault, developer of EV and it's pretty, pretty neat. So that, you see that's how workspaces are bringing more development to the table. So it means that in the default workspace for Grispensil which is still not merged. Still not, I should say and don't try and go and look for it because it's not gonna be there. The default workspace is gonna be wider. So each workspace can have its own color background which is very nice. The other change that I wanted to mention is before finishing this video is that I actually wanna show that we didn't do anything really. The team for Spring is requesting many things from Blender 2.7 for compositing for everything. And there's a few things that were not added yet regarding the use in Blender 2.7. For example, when you have render layers you have this concept here which is the layer, the scene. So this is which layer do you have active? This is which layers belong to that render layer. This exclude to not render it and then mask which is like making a mask like a holdout of it. So it's a similar concept and it wasn't implemented yet in Blender 2.8. Now it is temporarily implemented. So what does it mean? Well, long story short, the final version of it is gonna use the more advanced system called the override system. So this is already being worked on. It's in 2.8. It's one of the targets of Blender 2.8. So yes, it's gonna be there but that's the final implementation. So for the time being the implementation is just done the same way the exclusion works. I used to work until now. So for example, let's say I have this cube. Let's add a torus. Let's move it to a new collection. My collection torus. And then this cube, I'm gonna move it to the cube collection. So I have one with stuff, one with torus, one with the cube. So let's say if I have a plane, which I want to show you. So this is my view layer, my render layer from the old name. And if I, let's go to cycles because this is a cycles thing by the way, cycles here. So if I enable this, I see everything because all my collections are visible in this view layer. But until today, what you could do is go to view layer and then exclude. So basically it would make it invisible, like completely not visible. So it doesn't get compute or anything at all. But that's a problem because sometimes you want to hide the collections for like the, to mask out something or hide it from the camera but make it still cast a shadow for example or affect the lighting on your scene. So what you can do now is right click on it and then choose either, hey, my camera died, nice. Now you get the radio experience. Next time I should charge the battery. So all right, so right click and then you can choose set holdout or set indirect only. So for example, set holdout makes a mask. So if I had the film transparency on, then I will see the background right here. So let's see if I try and render this thing somewhere here. Let's see if I render, then I have alpha here because I set it as holdout. And if I set it as indirect only or I clear the holdout actually and I set maybe the Taurus as indirect only then it means that only I can still select it, select the object inside and I can see the outline which is awesome because in 2.7 you couldn't do this. So here, if I move it around, you can see it's still affecting the shadow. And if I select it and I bet if I add a material that is emitting, there you go. So yes, it is affecting but it's invisible. It's like going to the object and changing the settings from here but for the whole collection. So that really brings a lot more options and flexibility when doing the compositing. So this is temporary. So just to get off, if you have to work on it and do compositing right now, you can use it but in the future, as I said, it would use the override system. So it's much better. And it feels so weird to not talk to you and do stuff. Like, see you in the eyes, okay. Anyway, I will close this and then just, I will see you again in the next, that's so weird. So awkward to not talk to, how can people make videos and not talk to the, anyway, sorry. I will see you again, hopefully if I manage to charge my camera in the next video. Ciao.


Welcome to JSATV Europe together with the greener data movement for this quarter's live event focused on European digital infrastructure sustainability I'm John Marchleeman joining me today is Keith Breed senior research analyst at CBRE and Keith It's a pleasure to see you. I don't think we've really we haven't met since before Covid So it's been quite a few years since we saw we've spoken a lot, but we haven't That's right. I mean we I think you came once to the tech capital thing of the CBRE didn't you? Yeah, I see it. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm just a new drawn into CBRE. I've been here less than a year now, so it's It's quite an interesting experience going back to a big company again from where I was before Well, at least you've got very nice offices to get back to Those are probably the most modern post-covid offices in London at the moment Yeah, well, it's location in the West End, so I can't complain. No, yeah Well, it's literally like 20 steps away from Bond Street station as well. So you have your own private interest at the station, but We she's useful when there's no strikes, but a kid Kid let's let's talk about data centers because that's the hot topic that everyone's talking about even in and outside of the industry Everyone wants to know about data centers Let's talk through because you have quite a wide-ranging view of what's happening on the continent Talk us through the latest data center development, especially on the investment But with a sustainable focus to it how important sustainability across everything that you're looking at Well, it's a remarkable topic. I mean that the thing is at the moment There are two things happening. First of all, we're getting huge amounts of data center investment still coming into the market Even though there has been aspects of supply chain issues inflation All these things have been affecting the whole industry in IT and elsewhere There's still huge investment being made in the hyperscale Capacity looking at the traditional flat markets as well still growth going on there particularly in the UK and in Paris and in Basically around London, but going further outside London towards the south-west and towards other parts of of the southeast region And then you're also getting Capacity increases into new regions. You're talking about likes of Lisbon, you're talking about the likes of Madrid and Milan Also talking about the likes of Athens and other areas where Microsoft, Google and other hyperscale companies are putting in their cloud regions And that's stimulating demand for data centers as well So there's a huge amount of growth going on in the circle tier two even tier three markets which is starting to appear and Sustainability you're dead, right? It's a big issue most users now one of the big requirements now is having renewable power at all times for all data centers So this is a requirement coming from the occupiers and users Enterprises and everybody they want to comply with these new regulations And sustainability and renewable power is one big aspect of that And what's happening is the EU is now going to start introducing legislation over the next year or so They've already got the I think it's the EU corporate Sustainability reporting directive coming in which is going to come in beginning of next year to be applied It's now something we've got to prepare for because basically all the companies who use Above a certain size have to report on their sustainability Efforts and how much they're investing and directors are mandated to actually make a statement in their annual report Which is going to be quite a big change and that's not something So again, there's gonna be much more focus on it because it's been put up at a very senior management level It's just the mission that because when we say quite a few companies There's actually any company that deals in today's in space will have to abide by that new regulation because I think it's companies from 250,000 euros We'll be virtually everybody will have to comply and it's going to cause a lot of problems for some companies particularly those who have their own Inbuilt I don't know enterprise service or whatever because that's going to be an issue for them Yeah, they may have think very carefully now about the source and go to a more specialist provider So for some data centers, it could be a big opportunity You're gonna find that I think the in-house data center will probably come more more obsolete and they'll have to go into a third-party managed color with experienced expertise on how to provide Green sustainable services Yeah, I think that kind of echoes what we heard that a recent interesting event But we were saying actually these regulations can drive a lot of business Yes, it can be a pain for some but they can also drive a lot of business Into that it's interpreted So is that what you're seeing in Europe and that's where you especially within tier two markets Are you seeing these regulations already pushing some development to into the ground? I'm not sure yet. It's not quite happening I mean what we're seeing is I think we're seeing enterprises actually asking questions now of their suppliers and saying how green are you? What kind of renewable energy do you have? Are you looking at the different types of emissions like the scope one, which is basically your direct Emissions what you actually provide yourselves and there's scope to which is what is in your supply chain And that's something which they're asking for of their co-location providers and data center vendors, which they're using and that part of their Exercise now so we're seeing there's a lot of large companies and it's going to start filtering down I think the SME small medium size sector as well because they will probably have to start reporting as well at some stage and You know Europe and the UK the UK's got a similar ambition I think to actually go to be a carbon neutral society by 2050 The route map for that is a bit unclear, but probably it all mean You know it's going to be a huge amount of change and that some regulatory burden that we have to accept I think the larger data center companies that people like equinex, Digital Realty and others who have this kind of experience already Will be able well positioned to actually take on more more capacity I think and more enterprise users as a result I think it's going to be quite in the end quite healthy for the industry because everyone will have to just Try and adapt and you've seen cloud service providers do this over a long period of time now Microsoft I think about two or three years ago two years ago They introduced a online monitoring tool talking about carbon efficiency in that cloud And this is something which has started to happen with the cloud service providers and now they're data center providers and others We're going to have to follow suit as well. A lot of this technology is Not necessarily proprietary even talk to people like there are all kinds of data governance type companies like Archer which used to be part of RSA who provide this kind of service as an online tool And so enterprises will have to start adopting this as part of their ESG reporting I think to actually just see how clean they are and what kind of Impact they're having on the environment So it's quite a big change, I think And I think hopefully a change for the better. Yes, the red to good I don't think is you mentioned like the big Isaac equinique since to reality They they will potentially gobble up quite a lot of the enterprise demands out of these new regulations coming into into the market How so what will be the play of the the smaller players of the boutique data centers of the ones they have one two facilities Do they have a space? Are they going to struggle? I Think it's interesting because it's starting to see a bit of consolidation going on in the market So what what has happened over the last few years? You've had enormous amount of funds coming into the market private equity new investment funds come again And they've actually financed a lot of new build Data centers so you're talking about Vantage you're talking about Digital bridge with Vantage and so on and you're talking about a lot of other companies And some of these companies now are looking to actually have Consolidate more and will become bigger. I think so you'll probably see more Companies coming into the market and merging and acquiring others. That's been a factor in the UK and in Europe I think it's going to continue happening. So you'll probably have a bit of a shakeout But I think at the same time the two the smaller Data centers will have to be based of a choice whether to to merge with other companies or whether to Actually become more of a specialist and say a hosting environment or a managed service type provider Rather than actually try and offer pure color There's also talk about the age and whether that's going to grow or not and that's always been going on for a long time now It's always difficult to see where the actual commercial Imperative is we understand that there would be a need for you know with IOT and things for local computing type services But so far it seems to be provided for by the traditional color providers Soon to have a huge kind of requirement for the small diversified data center this year Interesting. I think as you were talking and especially talking about partnerships It kind of remind me of what happens in the post-Brexit years Where you UK companies and European companies partnering up like vaulted data centers, which doesn't exist anymore I think it's now part of very global which partner up looks connects And they they were operating. It was almost like a single company, but with two brands Yes, it's a very streamlined partnership. So maybe there was a warm up for what's coming in the next So I think as well. There's still a lot of talk. There is some companies trying to sell themselves I think on the market at the moment and probably familiar with sub-bottom and that's gonna happen I think and so there will be more industry groupings being formed. I think in the data center business On the whole it's because of a hyperscale is such a big investment class And so you need to have scale on you need to have finance to actually allow yourself to compete in that kind of market But also another thing which is happening is you're getting with tier two tier three markets coming along And then you're gonna see some interesting changes. I think if Central Europe takes off for example, we're talking about Connectivity around the Mediterranean for example the likes of Greece likes Barcelona likes of different Parts of the med where you're gonna see content providers coming in when it could be a very interesting market even to see Some more specialist providers I think moving to those areas and offering a kind of content hub with connectivity to a cable landing station Which is gonna be active to some users so It is really interesting. It's vicious. So sorry that's starting to happen So the Mediterranean you're getting connectivity down to the Middle East and to Asia and to Africa That's quite an interesting market for a data center provider So, you don't necessarily need to have a big scale or a big hyperscale provider What you need to have is the connectivity and the connection to a landing station Yeah It's interestingly the same because that there's a leash what's happening on the ground I mean if you look at start campus in Portugal for instance, it's big play a big money big campus Getting in all the cables in including a new one called it at least people with a link Try integrate the bridge between the Atlantic and Central Europe and the whole concept revolves around energy So and I think that's the new business model for that is and it's the energy side of things Ways no longer. Let's build something to host data. Let's build something which is green first and then let's look at the data and the service Not necessarily like that, but you know what I mean? Yeah Yeah, so I think green energy is very interesting But the funny thing is the European markets who's you're making a reasonably good attempt Transition to a green energy for the first time. I mean, I looked at the national grid ESO they have a kind of real-time chart which talks about the power they're generating And about 40 to 50 percent of it now is renewable power So that is generally offshore wind from the Northwest and Northeast and from Scotland Which is being generated throughout the UK and we sent so that's slowly happening in Europe as well It's happening in Italy. It's happening in Spain. It's happening in other countries. So It's quite a big step forward. I think yeah, yeah I mean, it's without wanting to go into it But it's one of the side effects from the only positive side effects of this one Ukraine has been the push for for different sources of energy And a big push towards renewables. So maybe these speed it up a little bit the process By governments across the continent. So it's probably the only good thing that came out of it but You'll probably have been better just to be a bit delayed as opposed to having what we have But thank you. So if we quickly looking to what CBR is doing, it's going to be doing over the next few months Can you lift the veil a little bit on what's going to come from you? Try? I mean, we're doing a webinar every quarter. So there'll be one coming up very soon Which I'll try and send you details on which is talking about the flat market. So the flat D market So that is from Frankfurt London Amsterdam Paris and Dublin So, you know, we talk about the trends which are taking place there and the growth in those markets We're still there about 70% of the market around around Europe in the area region but we're also looking at doing research into Africa and That's going to be cut something which is coming out later on this year And we're also looking at the Middle East as well because the Middle East is never country never a region There's a huge amount of grip going on and we heard about what's happening. Obviously in Saudi Arabia huge new investment in in capacity for data centers and IT as a whole for driving the whole new economy and It's happening in UAE and it's going to be happening in a lot of other countries around the Gulf States as well So that's something which we're going to be looking at and we're also trying to expand our coverage into, you know The kind of emerging markets and we're talking about Milan to some extent We're talking about Madrid which are two big kind of growth areas we see in Europe at the moment But also looking at the likes of the Nordics and we're looking at Central and Eastern Europe as well So it we're going to be extremely busy getting quite a bit of client work getting quite a bit of transaction work It's interesting in a way being in CBRE because you've got a crossover point between the the users the end users some of whom we manage And also the the actual hyperscale providers as well are coming to us to keep the land kinds of areas where they can build on so we get the kind of Both ends of the spectrum. There's the small enterprise user and that would be large hyperscale company as well You're gonna be very very busy I can tell If you want to reach out, what's the best way to reach out to you? Well come to the CBR e.com website and look for data center services DCS or data center solutions and That will be give you Access to resource we have online and also have a look at our LinkedIn page as well Because we're always going to have details the data center solutions on new services Bringing out new reports and also details on our forthcoming webinars as well Well, Keith as always is a pleasure speaking to you. I could stay here for hours Because if we go into each market, then we have conversation for days Pleasure as always Thanks so much and thank you you for joining us today and watching JSA TV live Don't forget to check our social channels for more content until next time. Happy networking


Welcome back to Las Vegas. theCUBE is here live at AWS re-invent 2021. Lisa Martin with Dave Nicholson. theCUBE has two sets, Dave, two not one, two. Two live sets, two remote sets, over 100 guests on the program at this event. It's a lot. Talking about the next generation of cloud innovation with AWS and its massive ecosystem of partners. And we are pleased to welcome Moulton Smith to the program, the public sector director of strategic partnerships for worldwide technology. Moulton, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me. It's really amazing to be here and look forward to a great conversation. Isn't it great to be in person again? It's so nice to be in person. I mean, I'm glad everybody's being safe and checking vaccine status and whatnot, but it's good to get back and work with people because we can really drive innovation when we get together. Those hallway conversations or those conversations here at events that you just can't replicate by video conferencing, right? Not replicate that. You get grabbed in the hall and say, hey, have you thought about leveraging X, Y, Z to do something? That's what makes this conference great. Talk to me about what's going on at WWT. What are some of the things that you guys have been working on? It's a really exciting time at Worldwide. We're really working closely with AWS to drive innovation to the edge. We're excited about their outpost offering. We actually have one in our data center. Sandy announced it today in a partnership with Intel to allow our customers to work out use cases, to kick the tires, so to speak, to see how it works, as well as our partners to get their ISV product certified on the outpost platform. So I'm familiar with your ATC in St. Louis. Is that what you're referring to? That's correct. Give us a little insight into what goes on there. I know it's pretty amazing from a customer perspective because you are agnostic. You're there to serve the customer, but tell me what happens in the ATC. We say we're agnostic, but we have our preferences, because we know what actually works. But our ATC is our crown jewel. It's about a $600 million data center that we built solely for proof of concepts for our customers. So our top customers come in and say, I have this problem, how can I solve it? And so with us being the single biggest reseller, just about every ISV is out there, I can stand up a Dell compute next to NetApp Storage with Cisco router on top of it to replicate what my customer has at the VA, for example, and then to be able to plug in an outpost to show how leveraging the outposts can give them a single pane of glass to be able to work on their workloads. So the training that our FSIs, federal system integrators have put into their staff or government customers on the Amazon platform can now be driven into their data center. So it's really taking the cloud down to where the data is. In terms of public sector, what are some of the prominent use cases that you guys are helping customers to solve, especially given the tumultuous times that we're still living in? Sure, so what we saw during COVID, especially was how most of the government agencies had the capability to allow, say five to 10% of our workforce to work remotely. And then with COVID, they went to 95% to 100% workforce. So a lot of the time we've spent over the last year is how do we securely allow our government employees to get access to the information? Because as we know, the government was more valuable than ever to get us through this pandemic. We had to give them the tools that they needed to be able to make the decisions to move the country forward. Talk about security if you will for a second. We have seen such a dramatic change in the security landscape, the threat landscape, ransomware as a service. It's the cyber criminals, a lot of money in it, they're becoming far more brazen. What are some of the things that you're seeing specifically with respect to security use cases? It's gone from, let me just buy everything that's out there and that'll give me security to, I need to have visibility into my environment because if you look at Target, it's a great case studies around that. They had all the tools, they just didn't tie it all together. And so as more and more nation-state actors try to attack our government or it's a great way to make money, I mean, in the presentation Sandy today, they talked about if you looked at the GDP of what's been taken in ransomware, it's like the 10th biggest country in the world. I mean, it's scary and staggering how much money is lost. So what we think going back to our ATC, we can stand up their environment, we can work with the top security providers in the world to show those customers how we can give them that visibility, the protection and the ability to get back up because there's really only two types of organizations, those who've been hacked and those who don't know they've been hacked. They're going to get in, it's how do we mitigate the damage, how do we get them back up and running and how do we protect my customers or have some of the most sensitive data in the world? How do we protect that so our government can keep us safe and keep us moving forward? Yeah, because these days it's a matter of when we get hacked, not if. And of course we're only hearing about the large attacks. We don't hear about all of the ones that go on day in and day out. I think I saw a stat recently that a ransomware attack happens like once every 11 seconds.  You want a free iPad, click here. I mean, they're down to the individual level. It's a whole lot cheaper to give a couple people really powerful laptops, pizza and beer, and have them go attack than it is to set up a real business. And so unfortunately, as long as there's money in it, there's going to be bad actors out there. We think partnering with AWS and other partners can help build solutions. You know, WWT has had an interesting history because you didn't start with the dawn of cloud. Right. So you've been in the business of IT for a long time and logistics out of St. Louis in a lot of ways. What does that look like in terms of navigating that divide? You know, there's a whole storied history of companies that were not able to cross the divide from the mainframe era to the client server era, let alone to cloud. You seem to have, you seem to be doing that pretty well. I appreciate that. I mean, we're the biggest company no one's ever heard of. We're $14, $15 billion privately held firm. The same two guys that founded it still run it today. And all they want to do is do cool things. They want it to be truly the best place to work. So from day one, they've invested in training our staff, building the ATC to give us the tools we need to be successful. And then because we're a trusted partner with Amazon and Intel and our other partners out there, they're investing in us to help build solutions. So we have over 6,000 engineers that get up every day. How do I build something that can help our customers really drive change and innovation? So it's been a really fun ride and the best is yet to come. Talk to me about your customer focus. You know, when we talk, here we are at reInvent, we always talk with AWS about their, you know, Dave, we talk about this customer obsession, the fact that they're working backwards from the customer. Do you share that sort of philosophy? Does WWT share that philosophy with AWS? 100%. If you go to www.t.com, we've published everything that we have. So you can get full access to our lab to learn about XISV and go deep and see the million and a half labs we've built around, say, Red Hat and go and get access to it. So we think that if we educate our customers, there are going to be customers for life and they're going to come to us with their biggest problems. And that is what's exciting and what enables us to really continue to grow. And how did the customers help you innovate? And that's one of the things we, I was thinking yesterday with this AWS flywheel of when Adam was introducing and now we have it, now we have it. It was because he would say, we did this, but you needed more, but you being the customer needed more. 100%. We want our customers to come to us with their biggest problems because that's when the exciting innovation works. And so the ability to sit down with the foremost expert in virus control and be able to, what are the tools does she need to be able to get ahead of a next change to COVID? How can we give them the tools to do that? That's what we want to do. The scalability, the ability to reach out to others is what Amazon brings. So we can bring the data science. We can bring the understanding of the storage, the security and then network. And then AWS gives that limitless scalability to solve those problems and to bring in someone from Africa to bring in someone from the European Union to work together to solve those problems. That's what's exciting. And then coming back to the outpost to be able to put that in the data center. We know the data center is better than just about anybody out there. So the ability to add innovation to them to bring those ISV partners together, it's really exciting that Intel is funding it because they know that if customers can see the art of the possible, they're going to push that innovation. One of the things we've also sort of thematically Dave and I with guests and the others been talking about this week is that every company has to be a data company. Whether it's public sector or private sector, if you're not, or if you're not on your way, there's a competitor right here in the rearview mirror ready to take your place. How do you help public sector organizations really develop, embrace, and execute a data core strategy? So we have a cadre of over 125 data scientists that work every day to help organizations unlock their most valuable asset, that data, their people, and be able to put the data in the right place at the right time. And so by investing in those data scientists, investing in the networking folks to be able to look at the holistic picture is how we can bring those solutions to our customers because data is the new oil of the environment. And sorry for my Southern twang on the oil. But it truly is the most valuable asset they have. And so how do we unlock that? How do they pull that data together, secure it, because now that you're aggregating all that data, you're making it a treasure trove for those bad actors that are out there. So you've got to secure it, but then to be able to learn and automate based on what you learn from that data. You know, I think with hindsight, it's easy to say, well, of course, WWT is where WWT is today. Five years ago though, I think it would have been an honest question to ask, how are you going to survive in the world of cloud? And here we are, you've got outposts. And of course it makes sense because your focus on customers sounds like I'm doing a commercial for you, but I've been a fan. I appreciate that, so we like it. I have worked with you guys in a variety of roles for a long time. Seems like yesterday we were testing a bunch of different storage arrays of the ATC. And now you've got outposts and cloud and you're integrating it together. It's really more the same. I'm sure if we had your founders here, they'd tell you, Dave, it's all the same. Correct. It's all the same. It's IT, it's where's the compute, where's the storage, how do you get access to it? And the cloud has given the ability to scale and do things you could never imagine. I think it's the reason we're here is because our leadership continues to invest and push in that envelope to give people the freedom to go out with that crazy idea, what if we did this? And having the tools and the ability to do that is what drives our innovation. And that's what we bring to our customers and our partners, that ability to innovate to tackle that next problem. So what's the tip of the spear right now for you guys? What are you, what's kind of, what's next? What are you waiting to have delivered to the ATC to rack and stack and cable up? Stuff that I can't tell you about. Because there's things that Amazon is always working on that we work with before it's made public. So there's a lot of really cool stuff in the pipeline because as you think about moving to the data center, that's one thing, moving truly to the edge where you can help that warfighter, where you can help that mission, where you can do disaster recovery, leveraging the snowball family, the outpost family and custom built tools that really allow for a quick response to whatever that problem is is that next front. And that's where we've been for a long time, helping our warfighters and folks do what needs to be done. Outposts is that you can leverage big AWS to build the models, push it down to the edge because you don't have time or the bandwidth to get it back into the big cloud to be able to put that compute and storage and analytics on the edge to make real-time decisions is what we have to do to stay relevant. And that's where the joint partnership is really exciting. It's what you have to do to stay relevant. It's also what your customers need because one of the things that we've learned in the pandemic is that real-time data and access to it is no longer a nice to have. This is business critical for everything. Correct. And even if you have a fat pipe to get it, you need to make real-time decisions. And if you're in a really sandy space, excuse me, making hard decisions, you've got to get the best information to that soldier when they need it to save our lives or to save the other people's lives. So it's not just a nice to have, it's mission critical. It is mission critical. Walton, thank you so much. We're out of time. But thank you for joining Dave and me talking about- Really enjoyed it. All the stuff going on with Worldwide, the partnership with AWS, how you're helping really transform the public sector. We appreciate your time and your insights. Thank you so much. Have a great conference. Thanks, you too. Yeah, thanks. All right, from my buddy, Dave Nicholson, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE, the global leader in live tech coverage.


Hello, fans of Site 42. My name is Dr. Sumerian, and I'm back to read more things that Dr. Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation. Let's get started. Dr. Bright is not allowed near any carbonated beverages while in possession of Mentos branded mints.

Also, Dr. Bright is not allowed to claim responsibility for earthquakes and other natural disasters unless he is actually responsible for them. Dr. Bright is not allowed to dare new personnel or really anyone to play peek-a-boo with either SCP-569 or SCP-173. When ordering things online, send them to a peel box, not directly to Site 19.

They're just banned. Dr. Bright is not allowed to tell new D-Class personnel that SCP-439 has escaped into the barracks. Dr. Bright is not allowed to convince other personnel that they are actually Dr. Bright. Dr. Bright is not allowed to challenge SCP-082 to a drinking contest, even if he's positive he can win. We have never had a Jamaican vacation giveaway, Dr. Bright is not in charge of it, and SCP-342 is not the official Foundation travel voucher.

This is Cubs Effect, here with Lunchbox. We're here at the tinfoil hat contest. And how many years in a row are we going? This is year number six. Year number six. Six. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Let's talk about a little bit what's going on here. What are the benefits of wearing this tinfoil hat on my head that I've created? And what am I protecting myself from here?  We all know that. We've been watching the news lately, right? So they're all trying to control us with their mind control rays. I mean, we need to protect ourselves against that. With each tinfoil hat that is being made today, we are saving one more mine from government mind control. Is that correct? That's totally correct. But I'm also, you know, using this time, I buy stock in tinfoil the two weeks prior to DEF CON, just so I can become rich too. Can you give me descriptions of the different signals that we're blocking here with these hats? So the aliens don't allow me to tell you what signals we have, if what they have in their mind control rays. You know, I like my free UFO rides. I don't want to give up the total secrets. So, but we have a lot of transmitters in this room bouncing various signals around. Our mannequin that you'll see in a little bit has a receiver in her head. And the goal is to find the way to protect her head the most from these alien mind control rays. Amazing. I actually do feel more energized and I actually do feel more clear. Oh my, see the government. The government's doing that. Again, not a coincidence, two times, two times, two times. So I've made my hat. Now what happens? What do I do with this hat that I've had? How do we test the effective, how effective this is against all the signals that are popping up around?  And you've got to remember she's got to be able to see because she can't see, she can't run from the government spies, she can't run from the aliens. And so then we will start our test and it's going to measure how well you're blocking the frequencies coming into her head. Insane. And what are the frequencies, what hurts are we going for? Lots of them. Okay, so we're looking at a whole range. That's all proprietary. Oh, proprietary technology. It's a big range, it's a big range. Proprietary technology, we can't get the secrets away. Trade secrets. Oh, okay. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Okay, yeah, we're dealing with some serious deep space. Oh, man, it is. Okay, okay, yeah, let's... So we'll venture from there. I think what next we want to do is let's take this up there. It looks like there might be a line, so we'll have to wait a second. That's okay, I've got, I know some people. VIP. VIP. Okay, let's get some VIP action up here. We'll take it up to the front and let's see how effective my tinfoil hat that I made is. Let's do this. Okay. Come on this way, guys. Come on in, let's do it. Three times. It's, you know, three times. You have to be careful around here. Three times three, nine. So now our system's running and it's checking and seeing how well that signal into the antenna in her head is being blocked. Insane, so I see there's some action happening here. Yep, that's testing all the frequencies.  But right now I'm completely, I'm vulnerable. I made number six out of 19. I consider that a success, but I also do know how can I make this better? How can I make this block more signal? So that's the key. We won't give you the secrets, but you're allowed to test as many times as you want. So you can keep making additions, changes to your hat and keep bringing it up. Get in line here and then keep testing your hat and seeing what works better, what doesn't. Trial and error. Yes. And learning. Trial and error. Yeah, we're all learning together. Yes. That's right. And now, see, this is our other trick.  Yeah.  OK, perfect. I appreciate that. That means you're on my side. Yes. Because you're not going to balance. Six out of 19.


Welcome to the Ed Hotto Show for week number seven, as the Mustangs fresh off their victory over Albright get to make the return trip to Redding this week as they take on the Golden Wolves of Alvernium here with Coach Ed Hotto and Ed, great game on Saturday against Albright winning 38-0, your thoughts on the game on Saturday? Slow start. I wasn't particularly pleased how we came out of the locker room. I wasn't particularly pleased how we played in the first half in general. I think part of it was weather, part of its day trip, part of it's early, part of it is this, that and the other thing, but all of it is an excuse. So fortunately for us we were able to get things going in the second half a little bit. And having the return trip this weekend, hopefully we can carry some of the lessons from last weekend forward and come out of the locker room a little bit better shape than we were last week. And you had EJ come back at running back, scores three touchdowns, I mean you see player of the week, how good was it to have him back in the rotation? It's good. He's a change of pace, right? Each of the three running backs we have, they're all a little bit different. He's a little bit more elusive where Louis, I think the fastest of the three and most kind of that blend of speed and physicality. So it's a change of pace and the game plan will roll the hot hand moving forward. So it's a good problem to have. One of the good things about your defense in the last two weeks, if my math is correct, 87 to 7, you've outscored your opponents obviously with Weidner and then the victory over Albright. What has been the key defensively for you guys to obviously offensively, you've scored 87 points, but defensively going giving up 7 in two weeks, what has been the key for your defensive unit to keep the teams off the board?  So I think it's a combination of things and we hope to continue that momentum. Let's talk about Albright, obviously a new program, but that's new. They've been in the league for a couple of years. What can we expect out of the Golden Wolves today? You know, looking at them on film, you know, they've got some dynamic playmakers on the outside. They've got some guys that can run the ball. The quarterback's good quarterback, you know, offensive line-wise, I think they're a little bit on the young side, you know, a year or two from now, they're going to be a problem.  You know, we're going to have our hands full. You know, we've got to come out and execute and do the things that we need to do fundamentally to be successful because it's a good football team. Now, this is your last road game until you go to DelVal in a couple of weeks, the next three of the four at home. How important is the game Saturday, you know, to finish strong on the road? Knowing you have, you're coming home for the next three out of the four, but how important it is to finish off this road trip with a strong effort? You know, it certainly is important, but you know, I tell the guys all the time, one week isn't more important than the next, you know. Any stumble moving forward and, you know, some of our pre-season goals are in serious jeopardy. So, you know, whether we're at home, whether we're on the road, we've got to, you know, be a better team this Saturday than we were last Saturday, you know, be a better team on Wednesday than we were on Tuesday, and that's really been the focus. And, you know, we've got to be playing our best football each and every Saturday. All right, Coach. Good luck today. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you very much for watching and go Stanks.


It won't be this trite, I was insured a position. By who? So you don't like it? Fine, I mean we've chatted, we share worries. No offence. None taken. But we are friends. And I hope you're spared. Here come the ghosts. Taking one step into a new land and saying DC's mine now is not how you claim land sir. Tell that to the British. Oh yeah, because the British Empire is still on top form, innit? We have a legion of thousands of Cybermen ready to set upon Doctor Road. Cybermen have a concept of banter. I'm so sorry about him. I'm sure you can see now why I wanted him, you know, murdered. All humans will be taken for upgrading. Resistance will not be tolerated. All except for me, of course. I will repeat. All humans will be taken for upgrading. Resistance will not be tolerated. But there must be some confusion. This wasn't the agreement here. The Cybermen made no such a... And the metal feet. Speak to your master. He'll tell you. We answer to no one. You answer to... Be fine. You were insured. Remember, you buckle that finger any faster. If we do it now, the road stays plunged in darkness. We have to time it right. I watch you knock. It was never the best spin-off. Point me in the direction of the door.  Yeah, straight ahead. I was expecting more.
