We're one of the largest, traditional, if you will, telecommunications vendors in the world. And we operate in these six solution areas, IT telephony. Notice it doesn't say IP telephony. I'll cover that in a second. Unified communications, mobility, customer interaction, security solutions in these areas, and a whole bunch of services to support these areas. Now we believe that we are a unified communications software and services company as we move into the future. And we believe that the telephony oriented vendors will have to become software and services companies as we move into the future. And we believe that the data SIs, the application SIs will move very aggressively into the voice space. And I'll develop that idea a little bit further. We're about a 4.8 billion dollar company. That number was lower about six months ago, because that's the euro to dollar conversion. But you can see we're a major provider of every market. We're one or two in Europe, depending on the day of the week. We're number one in Latin America. We're the top five or six in APAC, number one in large enterprises in China and India. And then we do a great business in North America. So we are primarily focused on large enterprises and are in a top four market position there. About half our revenue is services, just to put it in perspective as well. Now, there's been a few rumors about what's happening about the future of our industry. Jim talked about the consolidation of the industry. And almost two years ago, Siemens announced that they believed that there would be a consolidation in the industry for all the reasons that Jim articulated, and we believe that. And so I believe we'll have an announcement probably, if all goes according to plan, this is the fourth or fifth time I've said this in public in 60 days. But it's our belief that fundamentally, if we want to succeed in the future, we won't succeed in being one of those major players unless we do some things fundamentally different. I'll develop this idea a little bit further, but I believe that the vendors who will be the big players like Jim said, I think they'll be Microsoft, I think they'll be IBM, I think they'll be Siemens. Many of you would wonder why I left out one company, but I think they really haven't figured out that it's a software and services world. But of course, if they figure that out, they can be a player as well. I think what's impressive is that we've been able to maintain our market share, both in lines, as well as in revenue.  So that's a little bit about our background and about how we see the future. Now Jim, define unified communications, provided definitions. I won't spend too much time on this, this evening, but sometimes when you talk to people, there's a lot of different ideas. I think the key point that I would want to make here is that you need to bring a lot of different technologies together. But at the end of the day, we believe voice is the most fundamental form of human communications. It's the most intuitive, it's the most interactive, and I think it's the most effective. And we believe that any unified communications solutions will really have to be built around a voice foundation. Jim talked about across any media, across any devices, and he also talked about what I call a new way to communicate. Presence information, federation, virtualization, embedded communications into business processes. How many have teenagers? Kids in college in the first couple of years. So if you have those kids, it's the way they communicate. I always think of my son playing Xbox. He's, you know, literally people from all over the world. It's a full collaboration session, chat, voice over IP, the whole nine yards. Just imagine what happens when they come into a business world. And that's really what unified communications is about, is trying to deliver that type of experience in a business world. Now, in 2005, Gartner Group wrote an article called, let me just try and read it, I guess I have to look up here, IPPVX is a potential architectural debt act. And this is exactly the point that Jim was making. It goes from a vertically integrated voice over IP, I'm not talking about PPX, I'm talking about voice over IP, a vertically integrated application to a horizontal application. And I think the best way you can think of it, is to think of voice like an Oracle database. It's going to be a highly specialized application that supports a lot of other applications. So they said that the IPPVX is at a debt act. We believe it seems that is true. It's a fact that we ship about 5 million voice over IP licenses in here. Then, about a year later, Cisco and VoiceCon announced that they were renaming their entire product line, UC, I think they put UC in front of everything. I thought it was a very clever way to lower your RP expenses. But they did it, they were trying to make a statement to the market. Now, maybe the more significant announcement, and Jim talked about this, was when Microsoft said that they were going to enter the voice market. And they said that they were going to drive the cost of voice down by 50%. And that's where I said, no, I thought they were wrongly driving down even more. That was an interesting conversation, by the way, that I had with their CFO after that meeting. But in any case, the point is, is that I really believe that. But that doesn't mean that the whole value stream for all of you or us goes down. Because the voice is 25%. But then there's another 25% or so that's spent on a device, video devices, end point devices, software devices. Another 25% is spent on unified communications types of software. Another 25% roughly is spent on services. So I believe the price per user probably remains about the same. Maybe it goes down a little bit. But certainly the voice component will go down. And this is why Siemens believes that there must be consolidation in the industry. There are not going to be eight gazillion telephony vendors in the future. There will be two or three. Think about how a software model or services model is structured. You typically, in a software, you'll have one or two dominant players and then everybody else. And this is what the voice world will look like in the future. Then IBM announced right after Microsoft at Voiceconfall that they were entering unified communications marketplace. And they announced that they would be delivering unified communications. And they, in fact, are OEMing Siemens OpenScape Unified Communications and embedding it until at the same time. Why? Because it was the only software-based, SOA-based product on the market. It's not a lot of the voicemailers think that unified communications is voicemail. Great, we're going to sell you a voicemail system and call it UNC. Not that it doesn't have different capabilities, but the point is it has to be a web services open software application to deliver on that value proposition. Now where are Siemens? Well, as Jim mentioned, we got a head start. We introduced OpenScape Unified Communications software to the market in November of 2003. And I remember going out and talking to all the major press players, all the analysts, and in most cases have to explain to them what the presence was, federation, things that in the software world you would take for granted. So we made that announcement. About six months later we announced a software-based, unified communications media engine. We called it a soft switch. We called it a voice over IP system because we didn't think anybody could understand it. But the truth was it was a connection software for any type of media. Now over the last six months at Siemens, we made two major announcements. One was a unified communications appliance which you can see here today for the SMB and the second was OpenScape UC server. And I'll develop that a little bit further because we believe that you fundamentally have to move from these vertical voice over IP and proprietary voice over IP systems and really don't believe what the marketing guys say. The voice over IP system, I know the marketing guy. I didn't believe myself, by the way. My kids certainly don't believe me. The point is, is that the voice over IP systems, the covert systems from Alcatel, Siemens, Abaya, Nordtel Cisco, they're proprietary systems that run on IP networks. And so the next phase that we need to get to is open software systems that operate in the IT world. Now, Jim talked about this a little bit. So we believe that it moves from a hardware world and a network world to a software and services world. So this is a traditional TDM network. Site-based, proprietary, computerized. Kind of the main brain. This is the growth we've done it today, voice over IP. So it improved it. You have better networking, lower cost networking. It's probably more open hardware and software, but still I think it's fair to say that it's proprietary and operates on an open network. But the next generation, the current generation really of communications for voice will be software that runs out of a data center. So one software application running out of a data center for a company like IBM will replace two or 300 PBXs. And this has very fundamental implications for the businesses that we're all at. It will also operate on industry standard hardware. It will use open software. It will operate. It doesn't mean there won't be software like an Oracle environment or a Microsoft environment that is proprietary to the vendor, but it will operate in an open ecosystem and allow you to integrate it deeply into a business process.


Think Tech Hawaii, civil engagement lives here. Welcome to Out and About on the Think Tech live streaming network series. I'm your host David Tosaka. This is my premier show and I'm delighted that you're joining us here today. We'll be exploring topics of all different kinds of things, organization, events, people and it really is going to be a lot of fun for me. As a disclaimer, any views or opinions expressed by me are strictly my own and not connected with any organization. Joining me in the studio today is my good friend Abe Lee. Abe is a realtor, developer, real estate teacher who has been involved in real estate in Hawaii for over 40 years. Welcome to the show Abe. Thank you very much. Tell us about your history in real estate Abe and how you got started. Well, maybe I can go back a little more than that. I was born in Korea and came when I was eight years old and my father was a professor of accounting at the University of Hawaii and my mother was a teacher in Korea but when she came to Hawaii she didn't speak English so she had to work in a pantry at the hotels chopping vegetables for a lady. So I went to university high school which is an affiliate of the University of Hawaii and graduated and then went to the University of Hawaii and I got a degree in Asian studies. No offense to Asian studies people but it's what I call a good for nothing degree until you get your master's or PhD. So I knew I wanted to go to work and so I thought, okay, what am I going to do after I graduate from college? Because that was expected of us. You know the Asian mentality, professor, teacher, parents. So I got a job selling insurance and I thought, okay, if I sell insurance and I make families rich when the people die into beneficiary or the insured but I thought, why don't I make some people rich while they're alive and so hence real estate and so I had a chance to sell life insurance and then to sell real estate. Then my agent for the insurance company said, oh Abe, you can't do both. And I said, oh I thought I was an independent agent and so I said, well then I'm gonna turn in my resignation so I went into real estate. So that was back in 1973, 74 when I got my real estate license. So it's been a few years. So where is your, what has been some of the things that have marked your career in real estate that stand out for you? Well, when I first started, I worked for a lady named Liz Baker who was in a Pan Am building and I'll never forget Liz because she was an older lady. Now I was 24 my due and Liz is in her 60s. So at that time she was ancient, right? Of course now I'm 70 and people think I'm ancient but so Liz sold real estate for her husband who was a developer. So the husband built the buildings and her company sold the units, projects. So I had a chance to do a project called the Canal House at the end of Kapahulu by Alawai Canal. And so it was a wonderful opportunity to sell units to first time home buyers. So that's how I got started in project sales. And I talked to anybody and everybody and said, hey, there's a project coming up at the end of Kapahulu, are you interested? And I was fortunate in selling eight units in that project. And I was I think number one or two in sales at that time. So I got the bug about doing project sales. Then I worked for a fellow named Bob Allen who did a Century Center, the tall building right at the corner of Kapilani and Kalakawa. And he developed a project called Century Executive Center but he also did Century Square, Century Center and Executive Center. So I got involved in real estate sales in project sales at that point too. So that was really a great opportunity for me to learn how to do project sales. Why do you think it's so hard for people to understand real estate and why does Hawaii have such a very low rate of home ownership? Well, okay. First of all, let's talk about the real estate portion. Real estate is not rocket science but it does take a lot of work and you do have to have some knowledge of what you're doing. Otherwise you could get caught in this problem of buying the wrong property at the wrong price, in the wrong location or whatever. So I think most of it is because there's lack of knowledge and about the people being familiar with the processes that go on. So in my pre-licensing course that I teach, I teach my agents or students how to go through the 25 chapters of the textbook and a lot of it has to do with law, with disclosure, how you will tie it to property, about different groups that are involved in that process. So in Hawaii, I believe we have a 58% home ownership rate. On the mainland it's 65%. So we're 7% lower. And part of the reason is obviously it's higher priced homes. Our median price is $770,000 right now for a house and a condominium is close to $410,000. And by the way, a median price is, if you have 100 homes, the 50th home, halfway is a median price. So you got half of the homes over $770,000 and half of the homes that are below $770,000 for homes. And of course for condominiums would be $410,000 or $420,000. So a young couple just starting out in Hawaii would say, wow, I can't afford a $770,000 home or a $420,000 condo. So that's a problem. People think that they cannot afford to buy a home. But what they forget is half the homes are below $420,000 and half the homes are below $770,000. So there is a market for what I would call the more moderate priced units. Of course they'd have to move out of town. They can't be in town. But in town we're lucky if you can find a house for under a million dollars now.  What I call a termite palace. And so you have to move out of town to start but it can't be done. And so a lot of people think that they can't afford to buy a house in Hawaii. But they really can if they are taught the right process. I see that you've written two books recently and one of them is called How to Become a First Time Home Buyer. What is the beginning step if a person wanted to buy a home in Hawaii? Okay, well I'm glad you asked that.  And you say, hey Abe, I'd like to buy a house. I have a process that I go through with my first time home buyers. And I tell them, let's meet at the office in front of a computer where we have access to the multiple listening service which is a super duper computer that shows all the homes that are listed for condominiums and single family homes on the island of Oahu. So we'll sit down with the client and we'll say, hey, let's look at what price range are you looking at? What neighborhood are you looking at? How many bedrooms? How many bathrooms? What lot size do you want? What can you afford? So that's the first thing we do. We sit down and talk. I also tell them that we need to meet face to face so that if we can, unless they're a mainland buyer or something, but if they are in Oahu, then we meet. And I say, the reason I want you to meet is because I want to see you face to face and see if you like me. Because if you don't like me then you shouldn't work with me. And the other is I want to meet you and see if I like you. Because if the personality doesn't match then we shouldn't work with each other and they should go find somebody else. So that's the first thing I do. I meet with them. And usually I like to have both husband and wife at the meeting. So once we meet, then it's the first time buying, I tell them to go to the Hawaii Homeownership Center. And Hawaii Homeownership Center is a nonprofit group and they teach people how to prepare for homeownership. And because they're a nonprofit, they have no vested interests in the customers coming to get their nine hours of lessons. And they're part of a national network called NeighborWorks. And NeighborWorks is a nonprofit group funded by the federal government to help nonprofits get started in each region. And there's over 200 regions in the United States. And Hawaii Homeownership Center is one of the two that are authorized on Oahu or in Hawaii. So I send them there. And then they get to go through nine hours of classes and they get to listen to realtors and I volunteer teach there. They get to listen to a guy named Dale Tome who's the education director. And then they get to meet loan officers and realtors, et cetera. And then once they finish the nine hours, they're assigned to a consultant or counselor. And that counselor will sit down with them and work out a budget and say, okay, what can you afford? And let's look at your credit report. Let's look at your credit score. How can we improve your credit score and improve your credit report, et cetera? So once they are done with the nine hours of classes, then they'll come back to meet. Then we'll meet at our office again and now we have an idea of what prices they're looking at and they kind of have an idea what the credit score is like and all this stuff. So then we have a chance then to really look into how should we go about buying this home of yours? And I have a story that, in fact, I wrote it in the book and I don't mention their name. It's a young couple and husband and wife. Wife didn't work. Husband was a sole breadwinner and they had three children.  We want to go through the H-H-O-C, Hawaii Homeownership Center. So they did and they came back. And so I said, okay, how much can you afford? And he says, 130,000. I said, did I hear you right? 130,000 is all you can afford. And this was about five years ago, all right?  It looks to look up properties that are 130,000, 140,000. I think there are maybe three or four units available and they're all on the west side, like Nanakuli, Bailei, Waianae, et cetera.  Are you interested? And they said, yeah, I guess so. And it was a four bedroom, one and a half bathroom. Now mind you, it was a townhouse and it was what they call a short sale, which means that the seller owed the bank more money than the properties want to sell for. So they're going to be short, I don't know, 10, 20, 30,000. So we had to get the seller's bank to approve the purchase. And the seller's bank said, yes. So we got our contract accepted, but it took the bank for the seller a year and a half to finish the paperwork. And I'm going, you kidding me? We got this deal in escrow and my clients were waiting for a year and a half to buy this property. In the meantime, they had their fourth child. So they had their fourth kid and they finally moved in. And that was about five years ago. So I wrote about them in the book because they were a true example of patience and they knew that they had to start somewhere and then they knew they had to go out of town. And guess what? They called me up last year. Yeah, last year and said, hey, we're ready to move up. Can you help us find a bigger place? Not a bigger place, but a more expensive one, closer to town. So in a five-year period, they have moved up from 130,000 and I think they qualify for about 400, 420,000 now. So it gives them a lot more breathing room and latitude. So that's one of my, what I call the stars in my book. Wow. That's quite a story, Abe. And I can see you have the heart for helping first-time homebuyer. Okay, we're gonna be coming up on a short break. I'm David Sasaka and this is out and about on the Think Tech Streaming Network series. We're talking about Abe Lee, who is a realtor, developer, real estate teacher who has been involved in real estate for a long time. How's that, Abe? Yep, over 40 years. We'll be back in a minute. So stay tuned for more of this story. Aloha, my name is Mark Shklav. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea. Law Across the Sea comes on every other Monday at 11 a.m. Please join us. I like to bring in guests that talk about all types of things that come across the sea to Hawaii, not just law, love, people, ideas, history. Please join us for Law Across the Sea. Aloha. It's that I can play, so any chance you play at all. That's my life, I love music. So we do it. Hi, I'm Ethan Allen, host on Think Tech Hawaii of Pacific Partnerships in Education. Every other Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m., I hope you'll join us as we explore the value, the accomplishments, and the challenges of education here in the Pacific Islands. We're live. I'm David Tasaka with Out and About on the Think Tech streaming network. Talking with Abe Lee Realtor, real estate developer, all around Guru for the real estate people in Hawaii. Abe, tell us more about your journeys in helping people get their first home. Sure, I'll be glad to. Well, the reason I'm so passionate about this and the reason I volunteer as a committee member for the Hawaii Homeownership Center Development Committee is really, it's kind of intertwined. When I first got our first home, this was in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was in graduate school and the money that I made from that project that I did at Canal House, that gave me my down payment for a house in Salt Lake City, Utah. So we bought a duplex and we lived downstairs in a basement and we rented the upstairs, which was a bigger unit, to a PhD candidate and I was a master's degree candidate. So our mortgage was, I think, $200, if you can believe it. We bought it for 36,000 dollars, right? So once I finished my grad school work, I came back to Hawaii and we sold that house for $50,000 in Utah, but when we came home, the cheapest home was $70,000. So there's $20,000 differential and there's no way we could afford it. So we rented and we had three children by the time we had to move out of our unit that we're renting and by there was a basement in a house, way in the back and our neighbors were the flying bomber cockroaches.  So we were asked to leave and we're basically going to be homeless if we didn't find a place. So my wife would call and say, hey, we're looking for two-bedroom, three-bedroom in town and is there a place available? And almost all the owners and property managers would say, how many children do you have?  So really a two-bedroom, we could squeeze but they said, no. So every day this happened and our deadline was getting shorter and shorter. So one day my wife called and this guy says, oh, come down, we'll let you look at it. And five kids, five people in the family, no problem. I'm like, whoa, so we go down there, it's on a corner of our limo street in Lucitana. So that's coming down from Roosevelt High School by Punchbowl and you hit a T. And at that corner there's an apartment building, a walk-up. And the manager happened to be a priest who had fallen in love with a nun. And so they gave up the vows, they stayed in the church, gave up their vows and had five or six children together and they're the property manager. So they said, three kids, no problem. So they rented us the place. And I tell you, it was a blessing because if we did not get that apartment we would have really been homeless because we had to move out soon. So I still remember that couple, how wonderful they were and they actually gave us a chance to rent the unit. I told my wife at that time, the next time we move we're gonna be in a house. I will not subject ourselves to become tenants again. So there was a real motivation for me to buy a house. Well, I helped develop a small piece of property on Lunar Little Street between Peacoy and Pensacola across the post office, right next to Freeway.  So they asked me if I would help them find a developer because they were in financial trouble. And so I looked for developers and I heard their presentation and I thought, gee, I think I can do better. So like a dummy, I said, no guts, no glory. So I said, hey, why don't I do the development for you? And I don't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to help you. So they did, they were very nice and they trusted me and they allowed me to develop their property. So we condominiumized the six homes. Now these are single family homes, okay? And as my consulting fee, they gave me $50,000, which is twice as much as what I made as an accountant at Deloitte Haskins and Zell back in 1979, 80. So with that 50,000, I said, can I buy one of the homes and the lot?  So we tore that house down, got along to build a house with the 50,000 down as equity. So we built the 1400 square foot home, 700 square feet up and down with a 1400 square foot lot with one parking stone. That was our castle, our first home in Hawaii. But you know what? That saved us, because we finally had a home in Hawaii. And by then I think we had four children and we're able to call this our home. And then subsequently we moved to Manoa once and then we moved to Manoa twice. And where we are currently is where I'm gonna die. Because it's our dream home basically. And so we've been very, very blessed to have that opportunity to create affordable housing. So my goal has always been, as I developed real estate, to do affordable housing for first time buyers. And I would rather, no offense to others, but I'd rather sell to first time home buyers to be able to help them get started in Hawaii home ownership. And that's been my passion for the last 35, 40 years. Wow, that's great. Tell us about your new book and books now, two books. And I've been a bit involved in it. Sure, well thanks to you actually. I was able to publish the books with your help. But what happened was we talked about how can we help people and get the word out. So I teach a class on first time home ownership and what happens in buying a house, the mortgages and the finances and all this other stuff. So with your encouragement, I wrote this book and it's how to become a first time home buyer. And then you said, hey, we can put it on Amazon Kindle and it's gonna be really cheap, $2.99. So I thought, wow, that's great.  So I asked you about that and we did. And so hence we got the book. And so we're very fortunate. How to become a first time home buyer is a one. I'm sorry, I'm biased on this. It's a great book on how to get started in buying a home in Hawaii. And the book was written so they could be actually used nationally. So some of the things that I talk about in the book like say the mortgage credit certificate, which is a wonderful concept put up by the federal government.  And the other balance is a tax deduction. So if you understand the difference between a tax credit and tax deduction is a big difference. We talk about that. I also talk about the obstacles to becoming a homeowner. I also talk about what they call a FICO score. There are two software program engineers. They figure out a way to predict what's the chances of someone defaulting on a loan. So we have that portion in there. So we've got lots of stuff in there about the first steps in buying a home, how to deal with a loan officer, how to deal with a realtor, how to do with banks, mortgage credit certificate, government grants and loans. I also talk about VA and FHA financing and also USDA financing. Now people don't know too much about USDA financing, but it's the US Department of Agriculture and they let you borrow money 100% nothing down. If the home that you buy is in an outlying area where the population is less than 20,000 people. So not too many people know that, that that type of financing is available. Of course, they know that VA loans are available because VA, anybody that's a veteran, can borrow money with nothing down and 100% financing. So when people say I can't afford to buy a house, I tell them, there's nothing down programs. There's also the FHA program that's 3.5% down. So you don't have to have 20% down. You can do it for way less than that. So I think the people need to be more educated and hence I wrote the book based on the continuing education course that I've been teaching for several years and so far the response has been very positive from the students that have read the book. If you were to give a potential first-time home buyer one piece of advice, how can they get started in the process? First, I think you have to have a desire because if you don't have a desire, then you're not gonna do it. And my suggestion is to meet with a really good realtor that is concerned about your welfare as willing to work with a first-time home buyer. Now, some realtors will not because they are going after the high end but there are a lot of realtors that are very good that are concerned about the first-time home buyer and that's what you should hook up with. Meet with them and see what they'll do for you. Second, I highly recommend that they go to Hawaii Home Monitor Center and get educated so that they can then go to the nine-hour class and by the fee for that is $60 one-time lifetime membership fee for you and your family and the extended family. So it's really inexpensive. So go through that program because they also have government grants and loans sometimes that are available only to Hawaii Home Monitor Center graduates or what we call the NeighborWorks affiliates. So there are programs out there that actually help. So that's the second. And then of course, a third is come back and meet with the realtors and see where can I buy. Now, I had a young couple, another couple. I met with them, they went to HHOC, came back and said, okay, we're ready to buy a house. So he said, we're looking for a three-bedroom house in the pro-city IAEA area under $450,000 because that's what they qualify for. I said, okay. So, and I won't tell them that they're dreaming. So, because I knew what the market was like. So they came in the office, I put them on the multiple listen service and I said, okay, IAEA pro-city $450,000 or lower. And guess what, one house showed up on a computer screen. All right, just one. So the couple said, oh, maybe we gotta go out further, huh? And I said, well, I don't want to tell you that but I think you may have to. Eventually they ended up in Makakilo and they bought a place for $320,000 for bedroom. So it was within the budget but it had to be about 10 miles out further out than what they wanted. But they at least had a start and were able to buy in. So we need to work with people from the very beginning and help them to get acclimated to the sticker shock of prices being high and then be able to be realistic about what they can afford. So if someone wanted to find out more information, can they contact you and meet with you like how that couple did to get in? Yes, I'd be glad to. Like I say, my passion is to help first-hand home buyers. So they can call me anytime they want on my phone. That's 216-4999, 216-4999. Or if they go to ablyseminars.com, which is my school, at the bottom you'll say contact us at my email and my phone number should be there. At least my email is there. So either email me or call me. And by the way, I have wonderful agents in my company that most of them have gone to the Hawaii Home Ownership Center. Because one of my goals is to have every one of my agents go through HHOC as a student, as an agent, so that they're familiar with the program. And we have wonderful agents that have gone through the program and are start supporters of the first-hand home ownership program. Okay, brings us to the end of my first program with my special guest, Abe Lee. See this program and all of new adventures every third Monday on Out and About on the Think Tech Network. Aloha everyone. Come back and see us again. More and more adventures lie ahead. Thank you for watching. And we'll see you soon. Aloha.


Standing Armies In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson condemned King George for keeping standing armies in the colonies in peacetime. Writing during the Revolutionary War, Jefferson understood that militaries were sometimes necessary to defend against foreign invasions, but Britain's crime was in maintaining a standing army. A standing army is a perpetual military force consisting of professional, salaried soldiers. For most of history, standing armies were unique to empires. After the fall of Rome, Western Europe went centuries without standing armies. In 1776, the British army was less than a century old. After the Seven Years' War ended in 1763, Britain had decided to maintain a military presence in North America, and since the army protected the colonists, Britain thought colonists should pay for it. To Americans, this was essentially a protection racket. Boston, Britain as the mafia, and the colonies as neighborhood businesses. In protection rackets, mobsters promised protection against robbery and vandalism for a fee, but if anybody refuses to pay, the mobsters ransacked a store to extort payment from the owner. This is how colonists saw the British military. Boston was like the business owner who refused to be extorted, so Britain used its military to make an example of the city. Occupying soldiers killed civilians, forced their way into private homes, and blocked commerce. This is the context for James Madison's statement that the means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Costa Ricans learned this lesson in the 20th century. Upon ousting their military-backed communist regime in 1948, they constitutionally abolished standing armies and have since enjoyed the safest and most politically stable country in Central America. That the United States controls the world's most powerful military, so what changed? In 1786, Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays led an armed protest against oppressive taxes. The Articles of Confederation left the federal government powerless against the rebellion, which was suppressed by state militias. Shays' rebellion provided the impetus for the constitutional convention. Madison warned that armies maintained under the pretext of defending, invariably, enslaved the people. But Alexander Hamilton's federalists were more afraid of insurrection. The new constitution struck a compromise. Congress could raise and fund an army for two years. Hamilton defended the compromise by pointing to the West. He endorsed keeping a permanent core in the pay of the government, garrisoned on the Western frontier. A standing army was the tool that made imperialism possible, but it was in the West that the American Empire was born.

Hello! This is Doug Tidwell coming to you from the City of the Oaks, Raleigh, North Carolina, retirement home of a surprising number of Olympic javelin throwers. This video is another in our series of features on Eclipse Chay. Today we'll show you how to create factories. One of Chay's most powerful features is its ability to build custom shared environments that make sure everyone on your team has the exact same level of tools and libraries. We'll start by creating a workspace, then we'll build a factory based on that workspace. Once the factory is created, we'll share a URL with you, the home viewer. When you visit that URL, you'll see the exact same environment we create here. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll call friends and loved ones to share your joy, or something like that. So let's get started. Our scenario here is that we're onboarding a new teammate, so let's create a workspace for them. Go to chay.openshift.io. If you don't have any workspaces, you'll see the new workspace page. Otherwise, click the Workspaces tab on the left and then click the Add Workspace button. Either way, you'll end up on this page. Give the workspace a name, I called mine Pet Clinic, then select the Java CentOS stack. Notice that this stack includes Tomcat and Maven. We'll use both of those as we work with the Pet Clinic app. Now click the Add or Import Project button. Select the Get tab, not the GitHub tab. Type in the URL you see on your screen and click the Add button. That's all we need to get started. Click the green Create button at the bottom of the page. Click Open in IDE in the message box that pops up. Your workspace will start shortly. As always, you'll need to log in to openshift.io if you're not already. As you can see, this workspace has imported the Pet Clinic sample app. To make life simpler going forward, click the Project menu and select Update Project Configuration. Tell Chade that this is a Maven project and click Save. Expand the project, then Source, Main, Java, the Package Name, and Model. Double-click on Pet.java to open the source code for that object. This is as good a starting point as any for someone wanting to learn the code. Later, we'll configure the factory to make sure this file is opened when the workspace starts, but we've got other work to do first. Look at the Manage Commands view. Because we told Chade this is a Maven project, it has already created a command called Build. As you would expect, it's in the Build section. It does a Maven Clean install using the current project path macro. Click the slider to tell Chade this command is applicable to the Pet Clinic project, then click Save. Now, click the green Run button to build the project. This creates the war file for the Pet Clinic app in the target directory. At this point, we could go to the terminal and copy the war file to Tomcat's web apps directory, but it would be nice to build and deploy the code with a single command. We'll create a command to do that now. Click the plus icon next to the Run tab. Double-click on Maven as the command type. Name this command Build Space and Space Run. You can actually name, spell, or capitalize this however you like, but you'll need to remember exactly what you typed later. Because we said this is a Maven command, the Clean and Install Goals are defined already. Edit the code by adding another couple of lines. After Maven builds the war file, the next step is to take that file and copy it to the Tomcat web apps directory. Type CP, then click the macros link above the text area. Double-click Current Project Path to insert that into the command. Now add slash target slash asterisk dot war space dollar Tomcat home slash web apps slash root dot war spelled and capitalized exactly as you see here. This makes the war file we just built the default application for our Tomcat server. Finally, add dollar Tomcat home slash bin slash Catalina dot sh run and the characters you see there. That will start the Tomcat server and suppress any output from the server. The last thing we want to do for this command is define a preview URL. This will be based on the randomly assigned name of the workspace as it's running in OpenShift.io. The URL gives us a link to see the Tomcat server up and running so we can make sure that our code works correctly. Clear the text that's there already, then click the macros link at the bottom of the view. Scroll down and select the server dot Tomcat 8 macro. That's all we need here because we made pet clinic the default application. You could have multiple projects and deploy them as separate web apps if you wanted but we'll keep it simple for now. Click the save button, then click the green run button. This will build and deploy the code and start Tomcat. When you get the server startup message, click the blue preview link at the top of the view. This opens the running app inside Tomcat in a new window. As you can see, everything built and deployed successfully, the web app is running on Tomcat and the world's cutest puppy and kitty are now on our screen. Chain does have a nice shortcut you can use as you're working with the code. Because the build and run command we created is in the run menu, it is associated with the run button at the top of the screen. Once you associate a command with the run button, clicking the button automatically runs the command. One click at any time and you can see the effects of any changes you've made and you don't have to go to the commands menu to do it. Before we create the factory, make a note of the complete path of the pet.java file. We'll set up the factory so that the workspace starts with that file open. It's a long file name so you'll want to paste it somewhere and retrieve it later. Now that we have our workspace configured just the way we want it, let's create the factory. Go to the workspace menu and click Create Factory. Give the factory a name, then click Create. The URL of the factory appears in the lower entry field, along with a button to copy the URL to the clipboard. Wrap up this part of the process by going to the workspace menu and clicking Stop. Go to the left-hand side of the window and click the Factories tab. Click the name of the factory you just created to edit its properties. Scroll down to the Configure Actions section. Everything you define in this section happens once the workspace is up and running. What we'll do is tell Che to run a command and open a file when the workspace loads. Next to Run Command, type the name of the command you defined. In my case, that's build and run, spelled and capitalized as you see here. Click the Add button. Now click the down arrow next to Run Command. Select Open File as the next action. Starting with the slash, paste in the complete path to the pet.java file. Click the Add button again, and you have two commands that are executed anytime someone uses the factory to open the workspace. We won't cover it in any detail here, but be aware that you can add to the workspace's commands menu. In this case, I added commands to start and stop Tomcat, and a command to run the Pet Clinic Web App in Debug Mode. All of those commands are in the workspace if you want to try them out. Now scroll to the top of the window and copy the URL of the factory. There are two versions of the URL. One will include your username, the other will not, but they both go to the same place. If you simply want to test the factory, click Open and the configured workspace will open. What I'll do instead is switch to a different browser where I will be logged in as a different OpenShift.io user. I'll paste in the URL of the factory, and in a couple of minutes I have the exact same workspace, even though I'm a completely different user. We encourage you, of course, to visit this same URL, you will get the same results. As you can see, the file pet.java is open and the code is built and deployed. When the deployment finishes, clicking the preview URL takes you to the sample application. Remember, Che is browser-based, so the factory URL works on any platform with a full-featured browser. That's a quick tour of how workspaces and factories work in Che. Factories make onboarding incredibly easy. If someone joins your team, they can use a factory to create a new workspace. And using factories eliminates the ItWorksOnMyMachine syndrome. Your machine is just like everyone else's, so it works, or doesn't, the same way everywhere. We hope this video helps you make the most of Che across your team. For the Red Hat Developer Program, this is Doug Tidwell saying may all your bugs be shallow. Cheers.


Today, we're opening Dragons of Legend Unleashed and some other epic packs. What's up, guys? We're back with another epic video. Today, we're going to be opening a ton of epic stuff, including the booster box I mentioned in the early part of the video. Then we also have a Metal Raiders European pack. We've got a Dragons of Legend 2, Dual Power, Tune Chaos First Edition, Secrets of Eternity and a couple of Blisters. I bought this booster box from Phil on Twitter. Yeah, another Phil, not just me. So I bought this from him. He threw in all these extra pack just for the video. So I'm really excited for this. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away these three cards, Dark Magician Girl and Dark Paladin of the Big Hitters. And of course, we have Gaia. So yeah, you guys can win this Dark Magician Girl.  Let me know what you want to see from any of these packs. There's a lot of really cool stuff in these packs that he sent us. Let's start off by opening up the Dragons of Legend Unleashed booster box. The cover card of this one is actually one of my styles cards that he plays with his blue eyes deck. And I have this in my deck as well. I don't have the secret rare. So I would love to pull the number 100, I believe, Numeron Dragon. So this guy is the most expensive card. It's this yellow dragon back here. It can get pumped up to a ton of attack points if you actually get it in the actual game. There's a lot of other cool stuff like Dark Magician Girl. The Dragon Knight is an Ultra in here. It's a reprint from Dragons of Legend One. So it's a pretty cool one. Hopefully we'll get that. So we're going to be alternating between these and the other packs that we have as well. So I'm pretty excited for this. Hopefully we'll get some good pulls. Tyrant Burst Dragon. So we just got the Blue Eyes Burst Dragon or Blue Eyes Tyrant Dragon in whatever the new sets called Battles of Chaos. So that's pretty cool. Time Magic Flower Cardian. Flower Cardian Light Shower. So I've learned that I don't like Flower Cardians from Master Duel. That's what I've learned. I don't know if you guys have been playing Master Duel. You guys know I have. Oh my goodness. It's going to be a focus day where I'm going to have to click focus a lot. That's pretty fun. Oh, and here's a really good one. Eye of Tamias. This is like a $5 ultra rare. It used to be like 30, but then they reprinted it in the, whatever the reprint, legendary Duelist 2 or whatever. So that's a good ultra rare. We got Tamias. We've got the Performa Pau Corn. Let's see if we can get the right spot. Flower Cardian. And there it is. The number 100 Numeron Dragon Secret Rare. This is awesome. This card is crazy because if you use this in a Blue Eyes deck, you can bring out number 97, which can then bring this out for free. And this guy goes up to 9,000 or like 17,000 if you have the right cards on the field. So it's a pretty cool card and just pretty fun for like Blue Eyes and casual sort of decks. All right. So a great start to this opening. Let's open Secrets of Eternity. Let's see if we can pull something. So Secrets of Eternity was, we can get a Ghost Rare out of here. This was the first Ghost I ever pulled. You guys have heard that a million times. We got Unpossessed, the Gem, Unpossessed. There's also Ultimate Rares in here. So there's a lot of good potential. Go, Go, Talisman. Performa Pau Trump Witch, cool. Oh, and a Secret Rare. And this is the Ghost Rare. So I actually need this one for the binder. I only have the Ghost Rare. I needed the Secret Rare. That's awesome. The Malakota Netherlord of the Burning Abyss. That is amazing. So this comes in Ghost, Ulti and Secret Rare in this set. That's incredible. I only had the Ghost Rare first edition. So already two cards that I really wanted because I wanted to upgrade the number 100 in my deck to the Secret Rare. Now we have that. And then of course the Ultra Rare, Eye of Temais is really good as well. All right, Phil, look, what can I say? The name Phil is clutched. I mean, what can I say? This man threw in some really awesome stuff. Okay, Red Eyes, Black Dragon. We got the Claw of Hermos. That one's not as good as the Eye of Temais. Sushin, the sleeping giant. This guy always reminds you of like the Genie from Aladdin but like a little bit more chubby, the Flower Guardian. And maybe it kind of reminds me of a Hobbit too, the movie. I didn't really like that movie, but Red Nova Secret Rare. I don't know if that one's any good, but we're going to pull it out just in case. All right, let's go into another Dragons of Legend Unleashed. The focus is going to be a problem today. I can already tell, but we're going to do our best to make sure another Eye of Temais. This is a great opening so far. Okay, Raid Raptor, Blade, Burner, Falcon. Night Express, Night. Number 24, Dragulus, the Vampiric Dragon. I've never heard of this card, but I love that name. Dragulus, that's pretty cool. All right, Secrets of Eternity. We've got one more of this. We've already pulled the Secret Rare Malakota, so that's pretty good. We have a Raid Raptor, Vanishing Lanius. Very cool, those Raid Raptors. Super Every Samurai, Soulpiercer. You'll send you a Maggot. Perform a Pal Kall. We've got the Gotham Second Call and I think you only get it, yeah, Rare, so. Okay, and the Friend Donkey, that's all right. It's not terrible, we did get it. We've got a Secret Rare of the Malakota. We're not complaining. In the next pack, we have the Berserker Soul. Now, I guess we're looking for the Dark Magician Girl, the Dragon Knight. We've got a Currie of Bendit. Very cool, Flower Cardian. Flower Cardian again. And the Editan. This is another, no, Bintan is the good one. Editan is just another Cyberniter card. I think Bintan is the one you actually want for Drytron, I believe. I don't think that one's worth too much, but if we get the Bintan, we're gonna be happy. Let's get another Numeron Dragon. I'm down. We gotta get Rhyme one. Seal of Ordea Catacos, very cool. That's a nice one. Goddess of the Bow, Raid Raptor. Napalm Dragonius, Drugonius? Drugonius? Probably Drugonius, right? Number 59, Crooked Cook. This is the Exodia card in, I think it's in real life. They're using it as a Master Build, maybe both. I don't know, Crooked Cook. That's actually worth a little bit. The Tripper Mercury Secret Rare. Let's go to Legendary Duelist. Nothing, okay, so we're gonna be working around that. That's fun. We got two packs here, so let's start off with Legendary Duelist, Sister of the Rose. What do we want in here? I think, is Urgent Schedule in here? I think Urgent Schedule might be in here. I could use that as an upgrade. There's Bintan as a common. That might actually be worth something, so that's good. Lunalight Perfume, Mark of the Rose. Cyberangel Izana, I've never heard of that one. The Izana, that's weird. Okay, and then Lunalight Emerald Bird. So we got a Bintan common. Let's talk about getting it in the other packs, and we get it in this pack, which is pretty weird. Lunalight Panther Dancer. What's the one they brought back? I'm not sure. Black Rose, oh, Mark of the Rose. We just ruck in special, Lunalight. And a Red Rose Dragon. Okay, so not too much in those, but we did get a Bintan, which is not terrible. Overall, it's been a really good opening. We're pulling good cards in almost every pack, which is always really cool. Okay, Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, Guardian Dread Scythe, Flower Cardian. Flower Cardian Pine. And Galaxy Stealth Dragon. I don't know if this is good, but this card looks really nice. Really nice, okay. All right, I'm pretty excited about this. Actually, this has been fun. All right, Tyrant Wing, very cool. Mountain of the Bound. I'm guessing you guys see these after our live streams because I'm planning on doing two different live streams for battles. A Flower Gathering and Odd Eyes of Mirage Dragon. Is it just me? Does this look like a plant for some reason? I think it's the colors, like the light green and the dark green. It looks like a plant. Let's go to this Dragons of Legend too. So we have a chance at Toon Kingdom in this one. So we're opening a lot of Dragons of Legend, different stuff. Reverse Reuse Super Rear. Aquarium Lighting. Prediction Princess, Astro Morrigan. Toon Rollback might actually be okay. And the Claw of Hermos. We get the Secret Rear this time. That's pretty cool. I don't think that's very valuable, but still nice. Unleashed. Let's go, Unleashed the Power. We've got the Doom Virus Dragon. Fang of Critias. Flower Cardian. What is that? Palaunia the Phoenix. Okay, I don't know. Number 78, Number Archive. Cool. I've never seen that one. I'm sure I have. Red Nova, I say I haven't seen it, but we've opened this before. I've probably gotten it. Okay. Unleashed. Let's Unleashed the Power. Oh, Raw's Disciple. This is a cool one. I love to see that. Very nice. We've got the Rocket Hermos. Flower Gathering. Formal Pal Uni. And the Cyberangel Dikini. Classic 2017, 2018. Dual Links Throwback. If you played around that time, you will never forget Cyberangels. Next, we're gonna try Dual Power. We opened 576 packs of this when it came out, which at the time was a lot for me. Now it's probably not even that much because we opened tons of stuff, but this is an insane set. Okay, we have the Necross card. Not very good. Okay, Scorpio. Infinite Impermanence out of one pack. Oh my goodness. It's the Ultra Rare. Little Warped, but oh my goodness. You can never go wrong with extra imperms. This card has been good since it came out in Flames of Destruction. Whoa, this is an opening right now. This card is gonna be the most valuable card out of a random thing. That is an insane pull. That is an insane pull. I can't believe we got an imperm out of one pack. I mean, we probably pulled 20 out of 576 packs or something, maybe 15. So it wasn't a lot. We got the Crane, Cypher Wing, The Grand, Jupiter. Okay, I've seen this card a million times. I think it's just really bad. I've never actually read it though. Well, I probably have, but it's been a while. Okay. Oh, Lord of the Red. It was not backward that time. Wiretap, cool card. They got the headphones just been streaming or something. We got the Moon, there's so many Cardians, like literally every time. Ooh, Galaxy Eye Cypher Dragon. This is a really good one. The Galaxy Eye Cypher Dragon. All right. I think this used to be one of the most expensive card actually, and then obviously the Numeron Dragon got expensive for some reason. Next, Dragons of Legend pack. Let's do this. We have Relay Soul. Soul Charge, very cool card if it ever gets unbanned. It's really, really good. Cypher Wing, we got a special schedule. Didn't get urgent, we got special. Ooh, and there's the Benton, the secret rare version. Okay, that looks cool. That is a very nice secret rare card. Next up, Duelist Pack Battle City. I've not opened much of this on the channel, like at all. Like I've opened a few packs, but not many. So this will be fun, and we get two packs inside. So let's start off with this one. I don't really, oh, is that our foil? Barrel Dry, wait. Oh, no it isn't, Multiple Destruction. That's an ultra rare, I've never heard of this card. I really don't think I've heard of this card actually. Multiple Destruction, which at this point, if I've never seen it before, like literally never seen it, I might not remember it, but I've probably seen it at some point, but I don't remember that one. Next pack, so we got an ultra. I think that's really good. I don't think there's any secrets in this set. Buster Blader, wait, so it would be next. Let's do like this. Okay, so we have a drag down. That's not bad for a dark one. Heartblade Sisters. Love like Catastrophe. Buster Blader and... Arch Fiend of Guilt. You guys remember when we pulled this in a secret, we had a Retro Pack too. Those are some good times for sure. That was awesome.  It's just like, it doesn't really open the pack. You're just kind of sitting there. Mirror Force Dragon. We've never seen that one before out of those legendary packs. I just give us that every time. Cypher Wing and... The Grand Jupiter. Again, all right, another Grand Jupiter. Not really too excited about Jupiter, but that's okay. We still have a Toon Chaos and a Meadow Raiders pack. Just, oh, there it is. Dark Magician Girl, the Dragon Knight, right at the front. It's a few, it's really not that expensive. It's a pretty cool card. Dark Magician Girl, the Dragon Knight. That's a good one. We got Critias. We got the Genie. Scrum Forge. Force and Ritual Sanctuary. Forge, that's a different thing. All right, next up. So far, one Numeron. Not too bad. A couple of Critias, the Dark Magician Girl. We've got pretty much everything we want. Tyrant Wing, Zushan, Flower Cardion. And another, we got the Pine. All right, all right, all right. Been a fun opening for sure. We've gotten a lot of good stuff. Red Eyes Transmigration. Tamias, Machine Agile Ritual for those Cyber Ancients. Oh, we Rocks and Special. Right to the Blazing Mars. We even got the Snow Plow Hustle Russell. Does something play this? I'm not sure. All right, next one, then we're gonna do Tune Chaos, First Edition. It's gonna be pretty cool. Tyrant Burst, Critias, Scrum Force. Raid Raptor, Blade Burner Falcon. And number 51, Finisher, The Strong Arm. That's a cool name. Finisher, it's like wrestling or something. Tocque, Tune Chaos. Let's go. Let's pull something insane. I mean, we already pulled a lot of good stuff out of like single packs. So let's see. Sangan, Stardust Dragon. These are good cards. Collector Rare as we take them. Keeper of Dragon, Magic. Gear Breed, Curse of Dragon, Fire. Chaos Valkyria, that's a cool card, but it's not the one we're looking for. A few more packs, Five Dragons of Legend, and a Metal Raiders. Let's see, we've got Dying Magic, Amur. Dread Scythe, Cyber Petite Angel. Classic Cyber Angels, we've got the Willow. And Odd Eyes, Plant Dragon. Very cool. Four more of these. I'm interested in what that European Metal Raiders will have in it. We'll have a Euro-Pecanumoth, that's the question. The Knight, we've got the Critias, Cyber Petite Angel again, Zebra. And number 98, Antitoplane. Antitopean, Antitopean.  I was wrong, there's still four packs over here. Not three. Oh, the Seal of Oracalcos. No, what's the music for Seal of Oracalcos? Ah, man, I can't remember. But it's really epic. 59 Crooked Coke, that's good. Ritual Sanctuary, alright, another good card. The Seal, and then it plays the song, and it's like, oh no, Yugi.  Reforced, Transmigration. Night Express Night, wait. Night Express Night, are you kidding me? Napalm Dragoonius again, and number 24, Dragulis the Vampiric Knight. Alright, two more packs. We're gonna open this one, then we're gonna open Metal Raiders, then we're gonna finish it off with Dragons of Legends. So we have another, Kuri Bandit, very cool. Doom Virus, Hand Holding Genie, creepy. Alright, Flower Gathering, it's like magic, and number 51, again, Finisher, the Strong Arm. Metal Raiders time, I love these crimps. I think they look really cool. I actually found some of these in like Walmart's back in the day, but this one looks like it has the old logo, but I can't remember if they ever did the new logo on their reprints. Oh, and they ripped really, really weird. So I just destroyed the pack, but very cool.  We got Guiltia, the D-Knight, Mystic Lamp. Pakenia Moth, come on. Common area attack, very cool. Destroy a Golem, the bottom dweller, he dwells at the bottom. Deepsea Shark, he's down there with the bottom dweller. Milus Ray, wow, it's got a little bit of a nameshift. That's actually kind of significant, if you guys can see that. Interesting, cool. Guardian of the Labyrinth and Rabbit Horseman. All right, no foil, but that's still a really cool pack to open. Final pack, this has been an insane opening. Like we have done really well, I think. So let's see what we can do. Rocket Eremos, we got a Relay Soul, number 78. We got a Machine Angel Ritual, and can we finish with another Numeron? We got it right at the beginning, I haven't seen it since. So let's see, we have the Despair Uranus. All right, what a way to end that video, guys.
