Live from the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, it's theCUBE at Dell World 2014. Here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman. Welcome back to Austin everybody. This is theCUBE, we're here live at Dell World 2014, our good friend, Sam Greenblatt is here. He is the Vice President of Dell Engineering Solutions, CTO, Extraordinaire, and- And whatever else, tail, you want to get me? And also I want to thank you personally for helping us get here this year because- No problem. We had you on at VMworld, we had a great conversation, you said you guys are coming to Dell World this year, so appreciate that. Thanks for having us. No, not an issue. So the big buzz is Dell is a private company. Does it affect the technical wonks like you? Oh, 100%. You know, if you look at the appliances that Michael's been on stage touting, if I would have gone to the street with Michael and told him we were going to use Spark, which was an open source replacement for MapReduce, and we were going to use Cloud Era, which is a partner, and we were going to take MapReduce from seconds down to milliseconds. The street would immediately devalue that as technology because they would say, okay, how much are you going to raise on that? What's amazing is we're already getting returns on doing stuff like that faster than we ever thought. You're saying the street wouldn't have understood the plan, I mean, wouldn't part of the street say, wow, that's great, you're going to reduce latency and it's going to be a great- It depends who on the street you're talking to. I'm not knocking the street, they have great analysts, but the, you know, you guys were just at a strata and you're talking to visionaries and I was talking to them up at the conference and we all say, you know, they buy the buzz, but they don't really buy the solution. And if you tell them it's great, they think it's fantastic. It's hard when you're doing these type of appliances to enable customers in different ways. The customers get it, but a lot of the, all the analysts out there are still looking at, why aren't we doing it the way we used to do it? Well, it's very hard to predict what the street's reaction is. Remember IBM had the big miss this year, earlier, missed in the quarterly earnings? Just Splunk, Tableau, ServiceNow, they all got tagged. What does that have to do with Splunk, Tableau and ServiceNow? And ServiceNow has a blowout quarter and all of a sudden it's up 10 points. I mean, it's very strange, but ultimately though, right, as capitalists, don't markets ultimately figure it out? Over time they do, but it takes, you know, Gartner has that curve of disillusionment. Yeah, the hype cycle thing. The hype cycle. And we actually go through that. I always thought they were crazy with it, but in the beginning, everybody's hyping it, then we go into the twelfth of disillusionment and then we start going into reality where people are actually using it. So they eventually get it. And then what happens is, when you disrupt, what happens is the initial disruption isn't always understood. When you neutralize, they get that right away. And what's even more important is if you look at the next thing, which is differentiate, they get that too. And productivity, they understand better than anything else.  Are you guys the disruptor? Are you the fast follower? Are you the commoditizer? Are you the innovator? Which of those are you? I don't answer those questions. I knew what you were going to say. Dave, that's a great question to ask. Michael's going to be here tomorrow. Why don't you ask Michael? And you'll get a better answer. I know what he's going to say. We're the customer company, right? That's, and so, okay. So he likes to talk about that a lot. How much of that is sort of marketing? How much of that is real? It's 100% real. When we went out to start the appliances, you know, one of our appliances is the bill appliance for databases that we did with the NalSandisk used to be FusionIO. That came from customers saying, we need to speed up Cassandra. We need to speed up Mongo. We need to have a better solution, more in-memory databases for non-SQL. The customers get what they need, and they come to us and ask us about it, and that's how we build it. And we build it quick enough to get it in the market and test it. The Oracle one, which is a R12C appliance, it is for the mid-market, and I got to say that very, very directly, we're able to give three times the performance at a significant price reduction, but that's all customer driven. We didn't go out there and say, how do we beat an exadata or anything else? Customers came and said, here are my requirements, how can you help me? Well, I was commenting earlier that you guys actually make an interesting partner for companies like Oracle, who sort of exited the low end of the X86 server business. You don't own a database. Let's call it the large institutions at the low end, for the preferred accounts. Yeah, right, right. But they're not trying to crush you the same way they are IBM, they HP and they are having this urinary Olympics and they're fighting and they won't talk to each other, but it all makes a good partner there. What does it mean from a technical standpoint to partner? You guys, where's the focus? Is it on integration? I'll give you an example with Oracle. We work with Dave Schreen and we work with Will Nguyen Co-Hertz that are Larry's now CTO staff before they worked with Larry when he was CEO. They look at enabling us because they do not have the reaching range and they'll tell you that to go into the market below the global 500. They do not have the sales force and there's a term that the great marketeers use called permission. Do you have permission to go into the, as you call it, the SMB, I will not call a small, medium business because that's not an appropriate term at a conference. We call it the up-and-coming institutions and what happens is they trust Dell, they work with us. We've been with them for 30 years, we've been in business. So it's really good to get into that market. So Sam, talking about the appliances, you and I both spoke at a WebSpeak event. It was hosted by Nutanix earlier this year. At the show today, Dell announced the XC WebScale conversion appliance that's powered by Nutanix. Can you talk a little bit about what are the conversations you're having with customers about WebScale? Why is it not just a marketing term? How are they really embracing some of the technologies that big guys are using? That's a very, very good question. I met with the Nutanix people yesterday. I had their head of development and I talked to D Raj more than I sometimes talk to anybody else and one of the things D Raj says is once they get it in, once they run it and they see the benefits of what it does to the IO configuration underneath, people get it. And you know, Salesforce has, he has the same problem.  The customer will basically leave you as fast as you can. You show them the business benefits of the box, you win. So what we do with our XC, XC system is we actually go in, we put it in with even an EVO rack. We put it in with some of our FXs. It will absolutely do the right job. The term hyperconverged is almost like cloud. It depends who uses it to believe it one way or the other. But what's important is what do you get at the back end of it? And that's what we do with the XC. All right, so cloud. I actually want to shift gears on you. You were one of the first guests that I interviewed that really helped articulate the value of Docker back at Red Hat Summit towards the beginning of this year. I still love Docker. Yeah, so can you explain for our audience how Docker fits into the Dell Cloud marketplace and the announcements that you have this week? Actually, you should see here on the floor that we have some Docker. I believe it made it to the conference. You got to remember, I see everything before it comes out. And I'm not pre-announcing anything. It's not going to affect our stop, by the way. So what's going to happen is we see Docker as a way to move applications between different cloud platforms without a lot of hard work. We have our Dell Cloud Manager that talks to Docker containers and moves it. It's really the pass layer and the sash layer brought into a container. And what we like about it is it's the same way that if you took a, let's say iOS was a cloud phone. When you bring something from the app store, everything you need to run and instantiate itself is in the app. Everything is in Docker. As you know that Microsoft and TechEd announced they have a relationship with Docker now. Red Hat is announced they have a relationship with Docker and VMware is announced that they're going to support Docker and what you're seeing is it's a new form of compute. And it's not a new style, but it's a new form of compute. And I shouldn't have said new style. But it's a new form of compute where you're containerizing everything you need to deploy. So you were very excited about the Evo RAIL announcement at VMworld. What excites you about Evo RAIL? I can't tell you the customers. We've sold some government customers that you would be surprised at. The, what is exciting about it is it's deployable very quickly in 12 and a half minutes. Mornay who's running around from VMware who is the creator who has his 12 year old son able to do it. He does it in 10. I don't know how he does it in 12 and a half. But what's happening is when a customer wants to deploy a VMware environment in an environment that is not in a data center the RAIL is the best thing to use. And I'm saying we still like Vertex for campus computing. This is not campus computing. I would call this middle between the data center and the campus where you see these things deployed. Where they're being deployed and we're still waiting for the final release of Horizon which is the VMware VDI. Steve Lala who's here to show will tell you that people who are buying it like Oakland schools when I talk to you are buying it for VDI because they don't need a professional staff to get this up and running in three or four days. They get it up and less in an hour. That's amazing to me with all the simplification we're doing in the businesses. The services business still continues to be large. It's 45% of the Hadoop's end is on services. It's the VAR community, the reseller community still adding value and services. It's a very labor intensive business that we're in. Oh, absolutely. Is that going to change or are we just going to find new ways to deploy that labor? My favorite analogy we started out by talking about clicking clock and the news about clock may rest in peace. The one thing about a card today when you get your Tesla and I know you have a Tesla. No, but I will one day. Okay, Stu has one, I'm sure. But you don't go under the hood to play with it anymore. I have a new BMW. When I open the hood, there's a big sign. Do not lift this barrier. You tune it through the console and a service that used to take half a day now takes an hour. You're going to see that same type of mentality moving down into our business. Now, that service that used to take half a day would cost a couple grand. Does it still cost a couple grand? BMW, if you buy and I'm not doing commercial, they embed all the service in the price of the car now. So, of course, you can get a service as much as you want, Dave. So, I have an old BMW in my garage that I have to refurb and I could actually go in there and mess with the carburetor and the spark plugs. Not anymore. The way they gap a spark plug right now is they go into the underboard computer and they gap it until done electronically. And when you get your I-8, you'll know all about it. So, are you thinking that the actual service component of our industry will start to attenuate? Not that it's growing fast, it's not, but it's so large. It'll be so focused in different areas. So, more higher up the stack, adding value, applications, orientation. You heard Michael today talk about ProSafor Plus, one of my favorite products. Why is that so valuable to them? It's because it's remote diagnostic, remote repair within 24 hours. And customers love it because they don't have to worry about it. Anything that a customer doesn't have to worry about, they love it. We had this product right by us called ASM, which is a heterogeneous provisioning and management tool. Why do customers love it? They're not even using things like UCS Manager in their box, they're using us because it's simpler. Simple is always the winner in our industry from the very beginning. I want to ask your opinion, because you've got a lot of them on what's happening. We started the conversation with talking about private versus public. There's all these tensions on public companies now. That's why IBM sold the 686 business. That's why HP's splitting up. Elliott Management has Joe Tucci in a headlock, but by the way I've said it's not going to happen. They're not going to spin out VMware. But there's all these pressures and tensions. What's going on, in your opinion? I'll tell you from talking to technicians, because I can't really be a procrastinator for agnosticator of future financial results for obvious reasons. Yeah, what's happened if I just detect the underlying technology? What's it telling you, the crystal ball? If you really look at the way a corporation is set up. It is set up once it gets products out there to sustain it. It's basically business as usual. If I would draw a quadrant and I've talked to Jeff Moore about this quite a bit. This isn't a chasm, this is a diagram. What you're going to see is a majority of the people are sitting up here maintaining the day-to-day, servicing it, selling it. And then underneath that, you have a group that's trying to get productivity out of it, get the dollars out, get the activists, shareholders, feeling good about the investment in the company. But on the other side of the equation, you have people who are creating differentiation products through disruption. And people who have to go fast and quickly, because there's no slow once you start to go in the market to neutralize or disrupt. And what's happening is, you saw Ghostbusters. This is a stream and this is a stream. The moment you- Don't cross the streams. Cross those streams, the state buff, Narshmallow, man, I'll show up. And what you're seeing is by taking it and other companies have done this successfully, you can't let the culture of the business as usual impact the disruption. And what you're seeing in the disaggregation is people are recognizing that and where we once thought conglomerations of products or basically, and I put you the word, large companies, I don't really see large companies being the answer. Look, I was at HP while Mark was consolidating everything. And it's a great, great concept, but in today's market with the speed that you need to get to market, with the change of pace and technology, you have to have both these camps. And what you're going to do is when you need a spin-out to create something and get it out of the culture, you see a lot of these large companies doing it. So what does that mean for Dell, which is a huge conglomerate? That's the proper word, conglomerate. Dell actually treats both sides. Almost they work together. You don't cross the streams and when it becomes really part of the mainstream, it moves up into the business as usual. Most public companies can't do that because the investment to do that requires something that most of the market doesn't understand today. So we're pretty good at that. Treat it as a life cycle. Yep. They're going to go through the life cycle of all the quadrants. I mean, that may be making any sense. Oh, that can make sense.  You don't have the patients. And that's what Michael has brought us, the ability to have the patients to actually, you know, Michael's idea of appliances and Mary's idea of getting these done. I can't see this being done in too many companies. We'll have to ask, Stu, we'll have to ask Michael if he's a patient man tomorrow when he's on. No, no, no. It comes to getting it into the market. Remember I said speed. That speed means have out some revenue with it too. Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, they don't seem to be patient men to me. Yeah. Well, Larry actually is a patient man when he likes the technology. Look at fusion. Look at times 10. His in memory database. I'm not going to go to fusion. By the way, I love Oracle, a great partner, not saying anything about their technology strategy. Yeah. So Sam, before we let you go, I needed to get your update on OpenStack, since OpenStack Paris is going on this week. Saw you when we were at Atlanta. I was supposed to be there. Yeah, why are you and I not in Paris?  When Michael gave me an opportunity to be in Austin over Paris, I jumped at Austin. No, why we're not at the OpenStack Summit is OpenStack's going through a very interesting change over time. A lot of large companies are investing, a lot of customers. But what we're seeing is the Red Hat, as you know, we work with Comear and Red Hat. In commercializing it, you've got to do it in such a way where there are parts of OpenStack that sometimes has issues. I'm not going to go into which ones they are and what we're doing with... We'll talk to Tom Bird about Neutron in the next segment. I'm not talking about Neutron. I never heard of the product in my life. But... So what's happening with OpenStack? We're going from infancy like we did with Linux 2.0. And then if you remember, we went right to 4.0 and it started to grow. We're just going into the 4.0 stage of OpenStack. I still love the product. So when I look at the cloud marketplace, do you expect to have OpenStack Clouds as part of the marketplace? Of course. Yeah. But Dell's not planning to stand up their own OpenStack-powered cloud. I'd rather you ask somebody else that instead of me. But I will tell you, the cloud broker or cloud market strategy is brilliant.  So you guys obviously are pretty agnostic when it comes to cloud. You're actually supporting moving data to and from AWS, Google. Absolutely. Wherever you want, Mr. Customer, Ms. Customer, we'll put your data, help you. Your view, I believe, of the world is that it's similar to many enterprise companies which is the opposite of Andy Jassy's who believes that there will be very few companies that will own their own data centers in the future and those that do will be very small data centers. And where are you going to your next conference? So, and we're going to AWS. So my question to you is, and I know when you talk to customers, it's very clear they don't want to put all their data into the public cloud. But here's my question. At the scale economies that Google and Amazon can achieve, why don't they eventually overwhelm from a cost standpoint in this race to zero, the economics of data center infrastructure? Well, you're going to be talking down very shortly. Yes. The advantage is storage. The fact we can put a petabytes in maybe three to four U is amazing. And the ability to disaggregate the compute which Ashley talked about makes the private cloud much more attractive than it did four years ago when AWS hit its cycle. I think 80, I'm an AWS user. I still like the product, but if I'm going to put mission critical out there, it's not going to be in my AWS account. It's going to be something I totally control. So from a practitioner's perspective, why is that? Is it because it's transparency, is it security, communications? But they focus on security, but it's not the security that you want. Is that right? Security is one of those amorphous concepts. And we got better people at Dell to talk about security than I. I always love when secure works gives us a yearly update on security. Yeah. And you realize how vulnerable you are. Every year you feel less secure, right? Look, there's no privacy and there's no real overall security unless you do it yourself. So no matter how many shredders I have, I always wake up in the middle of the night thinking somebody's piecing together my tax return at the dump. What's happened is what we know now versus we knew then is very different. Azure is a great platform also. You saw CPS out on the floor or what we called Project San Diego that we announced with Microsoft. The reason people want that is because they want it on their premise where they can control it. And the MSPs want it so they can get standard up quickly. But what's surprising as the majority swing is customers who want to put it together. All right, Sam, well, listen, thanks very much for coming by the Cube as always a pleasure. Oh, I enjoyed talking to you guys. And John, it's a shame I didn't get to see your lovely face. Yeah, we miss Furrier here, but we'll see him next week. He's in Paris, right? Yeah, he wishes he's in Paris. Okay. All right, hey. Thanks very much for coming on. So, always a pleasure. All right, keep right there. Everybody, Stu and I will be back with our next guest right after this. This is the Cube, we're live at Dell World 2014. Right back.


Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel! So a couple of weeks ago I took you all along with me bulk food shopping and you know that I also shop at Costco. However my mom, this is my mom June, a lot of you know who she is. It's been a while since we've done anything together, any good baking or anything. But my mom has a Sam's Club membership and a Costco membership. I have just a Costco membership. So um anyways I was talking to her on the phone today and both our Costco and our Sam's Club are like an hour away from us. They're opposite directions but they're both, it's still kind of like a day trip to go to them. And so today we are actually going to go to Sam's. She had made a comment about going. I needed to stop at another store near there and so we're going to take you with us. Now this is coming from the perspective of people, we both shop at a lot of the bulk food stores that I took you to. So there are some things that are a good deal at Sam's Club and there are some things that we can find a better deal at bulk food stores. I would say for myself a lot of my focus is generally on things that are non-food related like toilet paper, paper towels. I was just saying I need to get a box of wet wipes. I need to add that to my list. What about for you? So if you guys don't know my mom and I'll leave the link for her page below I guess but you can you can kind of say a little bit. So she has a specialty food catering business although she's moving it to Florida. Yeah, big announcement. Yeah. Yeah. So they are actually moving to Florida in October and she's going to be moving her little catering business there as well. They're going to be working with a boys camp called Gator Boys Camp, right? Is that the full name of it? It's Wilderness, Gator Wilderness Boys Camp. Yeah. We won't get too much into it today but you can go ahead and check out her page because she's a great inspiring person. I think a lot of her food is even if you're not somebody that's close to us you can look at her food and get some inspiration for parties and baby showers and things like that. Yeah and you can find that on Facebook under a cottage catering. Yeah. Or you can find me on Instagram. It's still under Little House of Threads. No, it's not. It is cottage catering. Is it changed? I'll leave the links below and you guys can find them there. But my Little House of Threads YouTube channel is still up. I've not added to it but you can go check that. She should get back on it. I know a lot of you have commented inside about that but from a catering perspective would you say there's certain things and we can talk more about it later in the day but would you say there's certain things in a bulk food buying mentality that you would buy not at Sam's Club that you would buy somewhere else or is there a lot of things that Sam's that you would find as being a good deal? Well and it wouldn't be just for catering but for large families or just some cleaning and freezing. Yeah. I like to buy their great big boxes of saran wrap. Okay and see there again it's a non-food item. It is a non-food item and it's something that my dad would have had in our bakery growing up and all of us girls in the family must have a big box of saran wrap because it just lasts a long time and it's a great thing to have around but that I like to get my coffee there and grind my own coffee but paper products especially. Yeah yeah so we'll take you with us we can maybe talk about some things as we go along or later on whenever we show what we what we find for the day and obviously like Costco and Sam's Club they get things in and out like they get things that come rolling in and we're like oh that's a really good deal on lemons or whatever you know depending on the time of year so we're gonna get going down the road. Do you know what I'm really hoping for? Well I'm hoping that we could just find a great big box of zivia. Oh yeah we like there and that and their drinks which again wouldn't really be like a very like budget savvy no it's not. It's a specialty item. It's a specialty item. Yeah yep so we have a lot of talking and about an hour to do so we'll see you guys when we get there. One of the first things that I noticed at Sam's Club was their house plants this is a great price specifically for birds of paradise plants so if you are in the hunt for some larger house plants this would be a good deal. Okay so this is the saran wrap box she's talking about. It's very important. How many do you think you've had in your life? I've had about six of them. Six. It's just if you can see it's rather large. The 18 inch one. There's a small one too. If you're someone that really likes the block brand bags and I do getting them here is a really great deal and I am out of gallon bags so I need some of them for some freezer meals and things coming up and while I'm here I'm also going to go ahead and grab some quartz as well. Even though I wasn't in any need of them this day their paper towels and toilet paper are an excellent price and I always like to stock up. So this is a great example of something that was not a good deal. This is their almond milk. It's $8.28 for a pack of three and I can generally get my almond milk at Aldi for under $2 or right around there so definitely not a very great deal. I did however grab this coleslaw that was a couple dollars for this massive bag. Again another thing I would not purchase at Sam's Club is their ground meat. Just per pound I can get it a lot cheaper at my bulk food stores in a bulk quantity and then I package it with my vacuum packer for our own freezer. Their chicken however is a relatively good price but I like to get mine at Costco because it already is vacuum packed and ready to go in the freezer. I am not going to get these today but I do often get these either at Costco or here depending on where my mom and I go. They are a good price.  It works great for lunches and things like that so I like to get that here. This is a crazy good price for Parmesan cheese and it's something that I eat a lot so I am going to grab a wedge of it. At this price it makes the Vitamin Water Zero's $0.99 a piece which is a crazy good deal and since it's summertime we have a lot of ball tournaments so this is going to be very helpful. I was just at a local grocery store yesterday and I actually got some of this and for one so this has three packs in one box. It was $6.48 I believe so here you have three packs for $9.48 so a very very very good deal and this is why as we know drinks are kind of a luxury like this but if you're going to spend for it why not get a really good deal for it. We drink a lot of seltzer and so both of these are actually our favorite brands and I turned over to look up here and this is the same amount of cans it's still 24 cans but it's $8.98 so if you like the flavors it's an excellent deal. So I know some of you had said that you don't have a lot of bulk food stores in your area so you can buy a lot of dry goods here for bulk prices so you got like pinto beans here is a long grain rice a jasmine rice and so forth and so on flowers and sugars and things like that but just a place that you can find bulk things in bulk prices even if you don't have a local bulk food store. Okay I know I've mentioned before that I buy my rolled oats in 50 pound bags but if you don't have access to that and you have access to a Sam's Club they do have big boxes of oats. If you are someone that likes a lot of pre-packaged foods and snacks and quick meals and things like that then you will really like Sam's Club this is just not how we cook we cook a lot of things from scratch but there is a lot of snack items here if you like to buy snacky type foods. Aisley do you know which one that we like a lot? You know which one we like in our mashed potatoes? So this I use on pretty much everything it's so delicious and here it's a really great price you can get it on amazon I recommend this for like literally anything so I'll link it below in case you don't have access to a Sam's Club but this is the best stuff ever and this stuff here is the stuff that Cory says you must use on steak in fact we tried to find a replacement for this when I ran out of it one time and he still says this is the best and I have to agree it makes incredible steak. I always enjoy looking through their baking aisles where they have a lot of spices and baking items I often get my vanilla extract here however I did make some homemade vanilla extract this past year and it is getting closer and closer to being ready to be used so if you do not make your own of those types of things you can definitely find them here another thing I like to buy is bulk nuts bulk almonds and pecans and things like that they are a great price here and I have a nice stash of them in my food storage oils and fats are something I almost always buy at Costco unless I find a price that really is good at a bulk food store I just find that their quality and their pricing is really excellent at Costco or at Sam's Club. So just to give an example of something I do buy that is more of a convenience thing at Costco or Sam's Club is crackers just because they're very hard to make homemade and make them taste good or taste like the Ritz crackers or the club crackers so this is something I generally stock up on I make a lot of homemade soups and dips and things like that so having these types of crackers on hand is good I don't think I need any today but I have a good stock at home in my food storage usually I keep my eye out whether it's Sam's or Costco for really healthy pre-packaged snacks it's kind of a rare thing to find however I can sometimes find a few things and these beef sticks from Archer are a great clean beef stick option. So this is a great healthy snack option they are something that can be on the pricier side but here for 14 packs you're going to be paying $7.88 which is a pretty good deal compared to what the grocery store sells them for so if this is something that you like something you need if you need gluten free or something that is low carb this is a great snack. Whether at Costco or Sam's Club I really love looking through their books I was able to find a lot of preschool materials here for the girls when they were younger and just reading books a lot of educational tools and even learning kits where you may be able to build a dinosaur like you saw there at that first thing I showed you there's just a lot of informational things here there's also a lot of cookbooks and they rotate these out so definitely every time you go you want to check and see if they got anything new that you might be interested in I'm a huge fan of cookbooks and collect them myself so seeing what they have in their cookbook section is fun for me batteries is another item that I often get here at Sam's Club or Costco to stock up on the sun is slowly going down so most of our day was taken up by some of the other errands I needed to run so we kind of not hurried through Sam's but we got through it and we got supper and yeah and we did get some stuff to eat and my hair is destroyed because every time we come to Sam's Club and another store in our area we were just talking about the wind it's like wherever their parking lot I think it's how the parking lot is here the wind is just terrible and you always we either have rain rain snow yeah all of those things seems to be our shopping trip experiences yeah how about it I found coffee that was a good deal for me yeah yeah she they're coffee beans she likes their coffee here and she has an event coming up that she needed croissants for I did and we like Aldi a lot so if you have Aldi in your area definitely check that out if you never have um I know I've talked about that before and she said that even the price here for the croissants I think we're saying it a little bit wrong I know we still don't pronounce it quite well we all know what we're talking about yeah croissants um that they were half the price here that Aldi carries so that's very very very good for myself one of the good deals that I got is my mic for my camera takes a certain kind of battery I forget what it's called what did you say three volt three volt batteries and um I think I paid like 19 something for a pack of was it 10 or something like that and I feel like in the regular store I pay at least 10 dollars for two a pack of two so that was a very very good deal for me the other thing too that I found that they had on sale this week would have been the collagen oh yeah their powdered collagen I will give you guys a little haul of the things I got when I get home and put the prices on the screen because I know that's a big thing for people they want to see the individual prices but I wanted to ask my mom a question and then I'll kind of answer it too so do you like Costco or Sam's Club better because I feel like people ask that question a lot and we do go to both of them pretty regularly so what do you think I know my answer so I'll let you go ahead and give yours I like Costco better I think they're I just do they have they have better choices I feel like that would be things that um I would use more often as far as in cooking for just Mike and I yeah I agree with that and we were I made the comment while we were in here that uh Costco feels bigger like I think Sam's Club like in maybe they used to have more I feel like may have do you think that their variety of stuff has gone down through the years or I think it has here now see it could be different in different places yeah different areas could be different um so I personally like Costco better as well they both have different things like there are some things that are at Sam's Club that are not at Costco I feel like their prices are relatively similar pretty much when it comes to pricing so I don't think that part is like plays that big a part into it it's just more of Costco has a lot more health oriented items like things that are organic and like just stuff that we would not like you said things we would cook with a lot they have less snacks yes at Costco yes here is just a really big snack joint yeah and I think I mentioned that in this voiceover that we like are people that cook a lot with ingredient where ingredient households and that's where bulk food shopping comes in as a big part of that you're gonna obviously buy you know your rice and your beans and your um flour and sugar and things that you would use as ingredients in things we cook the way we cook be like cooking from scratch that's what I'm trying to say yeah we cook a lot from scratch so that means that we don't generally buy a lot of like pre-packaged correct foods and although I'm really excited about the fact that I was able to get one of those roasted chickens already oh yes the rotisserie chickens but I feel like that's almost an ingredient because like you can take that home and make it into chicken salad or make it into it makes fantastic chicken salad yeah like you can you can use that as an ingredient and I'm also really excited about my first watermelon oh yes of the year that would be true I didn't think about that when I walked past it that that would and they were six six something here and I know at Walmart they were eight something okay so there you go that's a good deal and am I correct in thinking that Walmart owned Sam's Club right they're the same yeah they're the same thing yeah and sometimes I know that even in some of the bigger boxes of stuff at Walmart their stuff is actually almost the same price as Sam's so there are certain things like the other day I went and got a lot of trash bags I just got the big boxes of the Walmart brand trash bags and like the price is very comparable it's not far off so some of that stuff again you wouldn't need to have a Sam's Club membership to like it just depends I don't know it's kind of hit and miss I don't think it's a necessity to but it's just nice to go to buy things in large quantities sometimes so you don't have to buy it again for a while and they run they have a flyer every month I believe it is that they send out so they have things on sale and running certain sales yeah yeah I see what you're saying so anyways I'll see you guys at home and I'll show you my haul and of course and I will take my haul home mom will take her home so thanks for shopping with us all right so it's actually the next day but I decided to wait till today to show you my haul because last night was really busy for me so pretty much everything I feel like you saw me put in the cart but I wanted to give you the prices on the screen I don't have them in front of me at this moment so I will just kind of save the item and then you can see the price on the screen so here is the vitamin water this is the vitamin water zeros and this comes with their acai blueberry their lemonade and the orange flavor and then I got a big bag of coleslaw because it was just so inexpensive here is my box of wisps these are cheese crisps and sometimes I even use these like croutons on a salad they just have a lot of different uses and they come with the cheddar flavor and the parmesan flavor this is a really good little meat sticks they're just great for easy healthy snacks down here I got the lacroix sparkling water that has three different flavors in it here is the avocado oil I do prefer cascos but we're currently in our last bottle from Costco so I just went ahead and got some because that is the main oil that we use here are the seasonings I got to stock up I got the buttery steakhouse which is the one that I always recommend so I actually got two of those and then I got bourbon peach which we've had before and makes great chicken here's the steak seasoning and this one's a new one it's a margarita spice and I just think it'll be really good on chicken as well here are the batteries I was talking about earlier just an amazing price on those here is the parmesan cheese I was talking about and I was wrong on the price of this that was per pound but still a very very very good deal here are my ziploc bags both the court they come in 216 count and then here is the gallon and this one comes in 152 count and I just like having these on hand I feel like my stuff doesn't get freezer burnt whenever it is the ziploc brand and then this here I grabbed because of the tip that Becky shares from acre homestead I really like her channel and she's such a sweet her I've talked with her online before and her mom buys these big bags of garlic from Costco and she throws them in her freezer so last night I actually already threw this in the freezer and you can see they freeze in individual garlic cloves and they are perfect for whenever you need garlic and it's already peeled and for me I don't know why but I just find it very annoying to peel garlic so that'll be convenient and we will have garlic for a long time this way so that is my haul I know that it's not massive however I just am really stocked up on a lot of the things that we normally have so I only got the things that we needed but thanks a lot for watching today guys I hope this video inspired you definitely leave me a comment below on what you like from Sam's Club and if you like Costco better than Sam's Club or Sam's Club better than Costco and subscribe if you're new I am so glad that you're here if you're new welcome and I will be chatting with you guys in the comments and I'll see you guys in the next one


What is good guys welcome to the channel today. I had that rare bounce didn't matter how my technique was I was just getting up super effortless. I really practice the dribble dunks to big lobs I was antsy. I had so much adrenaline was packed in the gym So I got some good ones, but I really can't wait to keep making progress.  So when those low days happen assess Re-evaluate keep learning because that's how you're going to make long-term progress Feeling good energy is boiling over because I was supposed to go yesterday I didn't go ahead and do anything so I kind of felt like I wanted to get some blood flow yesterday But I didn't get to do that so I just had a busy day and today I feel like energy's popping off and feeling good You can see how I'm going to jump see how I'm doing. Hi, Dale He's back Last couple weeks I Went down down down like two weeks in a row lower and lower So today I feel amazing better than I did three weeks before that drip So I was up when I come back from rehab couple low weeks. That's how it goes that mindset was steady I knew it was gonna happen and then today I feel really bouncy and even if I don't jump that well or dunk that well I'm already feeling way bouncier than I did before the dip. So it's like this dip Doesn't always happen like that, but there is always a dip. You're always gonna have low days I'm really happy with that. Still warming up getting a back rim dribbler on a bent-up rim So I'm rushing but I feel like I can destroy one Thanks for watching guys new video every week and dunk tip Tuesday every single Tuesday a new dunk tip So leave a comment. Let me know what you have any questions on and I will answer it. I'll see you soon


Take a look at this Nick Klaxon in his career He had one game with 20 or more points over his first 134 career games He's got 20 or more his last five games and over his last three as we mentioned earlier in the postgame He set new career highs tonight with 27 and moments ago. He met the media Nick I guess for starters, what did you see is the reason why things went left? 43 points in the third quarter You know 30 points pretty much every quarter of the game. That's just too many points So as a collective unit, we just need to do a better job of really just accepting the challenge of guarding them ball and Just taking pride in getting stops and rebounds Would you say the spirit of the group is still high even though the loss have kind of piled up recently? Yeah, it's no reason to put our heads down. I mean It's fixable. I mean, it's it's a little more effort Rebounding and we're scoring points offensively, you know, we're knocking down shots We just got to get those those timely stops and time to rebounds Jock gave us a little anecdote before about you being in the cold tub with Royce after the game in Philly Just talking about your professionalism, you know, given your success this year Is that you know something you feel like you've picked up more as you've gone into the league? Got been in the league or are you doing anything different this year? Or is that just something you've always had with your game? Yeah, that's that's how I've always been Since I've since I've been in the league and even in college, I've always taken my body very serious I mean, I've had some unfortunate injuries along the way, but No things are just clicking right now getting stronger and just growing into my body and My process has pretty much been the same just taking care of my body on off days after games I mean, he's always ready you definitely need guys like that I can step up whenever they're The name is called and he's always in attack mode. He doesn't it doesn't matter who's on the court He's getting downhill. He's playing extremely hard picking up full court. And he's a he's a selfless guy He's a team guy and it's definitely great to have him here on the team Does that open up? I guess maybe like rebounding opportunities for you on the offensive glass. It's like, what does that do for you? Yeah, rebounding and he'll also get in there driving and kick it to me. So it's definitely I'm off We have a pretty good, you know thing going he drives in and a lot of times He'll draw in the big and I'm there ready to finish and like you said, I'm also ready to get the offensive rebound feasts to miss it Nick I've noticed that the team can struggle on the defensive glass when you're switched out on the perimeter Do you ever feel kind of caught in between your responsibility to go get a block and be on the glass? Yeah, and Definitely sometimes when I get switched out I always have to make sure I'm coming back to help us rebound because you know that can be a weak spot for us and I have to have a Good judgment. Sometimes I need to leave some of those shots that guys are taking and just play the numbers game and Stay there for the rebound instead of going for the block and getting out of position giving up offense to rebound Some I've gotten better at but I gotta continue to work on it Nick Jack was talking before the game about utilizing the time at home We've spent a lot of time on the road and recently how important is that especially with sort of the stretch you guys are in and everything That's going on without Katie on the court and also with the next coming in here in the next game on Saturday Yeah, that'll be a fun game, but oh, yeah, it's definitely it's good to have a homestand. We've been on the road We've had some a tougher road stretch. We you know, we we got a couple of wins And we have a lot of things that that we can take from that that last trip and even tonight just positive You know, you can't even though we lost week We got a you know, look at look at the bright side and look at the film and get better and it's good Be with our fans for these next few games. Do you pay attention to 2k ratings? Yeah, I saw my 85. Yeah, I feel like that that's like a big number for 2k when you get that 85 What does that mean to you? I mean, it's about right. I grew up playing a lot of 2k. So 85, you know, I get it up through on 87 88 by the end of the year 85 is it's respectable Nick Nick along those lines. I mean you're driving you're finishing hooks You're doing things that we haven't seen a lot from you in the past. Have you been waiting for, you know This opportunity to show that you can do more for this team. I mean Have I been waiting? I mean, it's just it's opportunity Just confidence. I don't want to say I've been waiting because I mean I can do this with the same stuff with Katie on the court. Just picking my spots being assertive being aggressive I mean, I'm in a good flow right now and I'm just just being just being aggressive having fun and It's unfortunate we we lost but you know my individual success I got to keep keep growing every single game doing what I'm doing Just going off what you were talking about before about being kind of caught in between Switching rebound and having to make some decisions play the numbers game Do you think you being caught in those situations says something about how important Kevin is with what you guys do defensively? Kevin being You know Well him going out unfortunately today with an injury is tough and when we lose losing our our size and yeah We definitely miss him out there on the court on the defensive side of the ball Big time and another guy with no another Footer with length and helps with rebound and protecting the rim But we you know we have our group where whoever's out there on the court That's what we got to roll with and we got to figure it out Yeah, well Claxton Frank said it'll be a fun one on Saturday against the Knicks It always is the Knicks are going to be looking for a little payback for that Woodshed beating the Nets gave them early in November, but it should be a fun one. Yeah I don't know the 2k ratings of anybody on the Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets But that game is going to be competitive. There's a rivalry there. Nick fans will try to invade Barclay Center Tom Tibbet will have that team ready to play jock phone will have his group ready to play a big question now for the Brooklyn Nets Do you get Ben Simmons on Saturday and do you get TJ Warren as well? And we'll see what kind of condition Nick Claxton and Kerry Irving are in because they've been playing a lot putting up big numbers You mentioned before about Nick Claxton his last five games. Yeah, and I know I'm gonna get myself in trouble for this Do you realize that two of those games were second night of a back-to-back? How does he do it? I don't know. How is he able to do it? It's like the legs How are we making excuses for Kyrie Irving and it clacks and they're going out there giving everything they have Second night of a back-to-back. It can be done Kyrie Irving and it clacks improved it. Everyone needs to follow suit I'm not just talking about net players. I'm talking about all over the league


What's up beatbox fam it's Kayo here for another tutorial and today we're going to be learning the the sucker punch yeah if you enjoy this tutorial hit that subscribe button right there and as always smash that like button baby so first and foremost guys you need to be able to close off your air passage so how do you close off your air passage Kayo so what you do is you don't allow any air into your diaphragm so we're going to exaggerate that just to show you how to do it so we're going to close off all entry ways that allow air to flow in and now try and suck in once you've closed off all of them you're going to notice that your throat kind of you're going to you're going to notice like an indent here so that's basically the skill that you need to know besides that you just need to say huh and then you just close it off right some people like say say huh so what you do is you breathe in while vocalizing huh that's huh inward huh and then you immediately with a lot of force close off your air passage away so it's going to be like so if you don't move your tongue up you're going to notice that it sounds like which is kind of like the same sound but you want to do it with your tongue right so your tongue is going to go up and close off the air and you see where it's at sound like the inside of your teeth so it's so guys that's that's really it so you vocalize inward huh and then some kind of consonant to close it off let's say HUD for instance and on the D guys you see see my air my air passage way is closed off this is going to start off week like most techniques do so you're just going to want to focus on doing it slowly you know we've done numerous metronome practices so start off slow but what you want to really focus on is doing the HUD quickly and precisely guys because that's what's going to enable it to be really loud and really punchy you know so just really focus because if you don't do it really hard with a lot of diaphragm engagement before closing off your air passage way it's going to be really weak and it's not going to come through really punchy it's going to be a really soft you don't want that you want something you can do to practice this technique is count off right so we're gonna so we're gonna use a four count and we're gonna do the the technique on the three and the four okay so one three one three one three one three so just keep doing that guys you know one two three four one two three four and then what you can do is you can input other moves on the one in the three so you can go yeah guys and then you can interchange them however you want from there that's just a little sample thing you be creative guys you know what I mean throw in throw in some inner tks throw in a slither roll throw in some throat base and interchange it with the and then make your own patterns guys that's where the fun is you know so yeah if you gained any insight from this tutorial guys please subscribe means a lot helps the channel out helps me out I appreciate it and if you have any questions guys remember don't hesitate to drop them below I always answer those questions I'll see you in the next video


It's basically an early start for summer transfer students. We're coming a little early and we get a little bit of the university experience before enter NPI. Okay, that's it. We're back to the finish and then you're going to enter. So you're a transfer student. And I thought it would be a good idea to get an extra class in as well as the class that's probably only offered in summer at the university, in three-and-sevenths, which will give you an idea of where opportunities are or how to network and how to develop and how to develop yourself. Okay, great. And who yelled out in freshman? Oh, that was me.  So how many freshmen have we got here? Okay. Oh, great. Most of you are freshmen then. Okay, so we'll just place it around here and then we'll reiterate these. But at the end, I'm not any hurry. I will eventually die of hunger. But until I die of hunger, you've got me. So if you have questions, what's your name? Josh asks me, how do you get into engineering?  That's a very simple answer, but there's actually more complicated things. So Josh is an engineering major. Are there other engineering majors in the freshman orchids? So there are some freshman engineers. Good. Chemistry majors? You're the good guys. Biology. So I'm a closet biologist too, okay? So that covers more than half of it. That's right. We're good. Oh, we all drink water. Well, you supposed to drink water. How many people drink water? You're just not supposed to drink it out of a plastic bottle. But I got this gave a name for me, so I have to drink it. But we're actually starting a movement in the near future to try to have steel bottles for all the incoming freshmen and then have places around the university where you can actually fill them up. Because one of the things I do is the plastic ocean, which I've done three cruises. I've done two in the North Atlantic and one in the Pacific from Honolulu to Long Beach on a 50-foot category and cut the plastic at sea.  Right. And in 1992 I did an ABC's 2020, which is a TV show out of your David Stossel on bottled water where we analyzed 35 different bottled waters. And it was fun. Well, we found out that chemically there was no difference between that in Miami or New York City water. I was in Miami at the time. My sister is an attorney for a water district. And she says the water out of the tap is safer than the water in the water. It is. In plastic bottles. It is. Because of the phthalates and the stuff that were in the plastic. But is it also because it's not regulated in the show? That's what she says. That's exactly, that's a very, very good point. Water coming out of your tap is regulated by UPA, this is regulated by FDA, and I'm almost guarantee you they've never done a test on this. What about Florida? The floor is a different question. So the floor is still an open issue. I happened to see, I was raised when we didn't have fluoride, and I have a lot of them. Dental cavities, and maybe that's just my heat. But I know that my voice, who had fluoride, they actually had a lot less dental care. So I think fluoride, I'm still actually pro-fluoride. I think it's good for your teeth, as long as we don't get too much. And here we regulate it very, very carefully. There's fluoride in the groundwater here, so it's not a big problem. But those of you, oh, we'll get it in a great time. You guys are going to get the laugh at me, too. Woo-hoo! Just be careful of the tripod there, your gang's coming down. So did anyone here actually do a little research on Professor Cooper? Look at what he said. Oh, that's scary. Oh, no need to be scared. They can do it right. So the architect of this building is actually the most famous architect in the world. And his name is Frank Gehrer. And he's famous for large museums all over the world. And he has clients who want to make a place, make a name for themselves through their architecture. That's why people hire them. And UCI did that. Sort of at the, we're talking ancient history now, before you were born in the mid-80s. They hired him to do, UCI hired him to do this building. And it was used as the icon for the campus on publicity internals for a very long time. But that's enough of that. We are here to hear from Professor Bill Cooper. And one of the things that we want to do in this inside UCI series is kind of show you who professors are and where they come from and how their research interests develop. So we're here to hear about water from the director of the Earth-to-Water Research Center. Once he always interested in water, that's what I wanted to know. So here's what I have to tell you. Dr. Cooper received a B.S. in chemistry from Allegheny College in 1969. His thesis was on the origin of oil. And from there, so that's like late 60s, a couple of years later, he was at Penn State studying the origin of coal. And then did service in the Army and as a civilian, he ran a water reuse program. And then went to Florida and became the director of the Drinking Water Research Center and completed his PhD at the University of Miami in 1987. About the time this building was built actually. And then he came here actually just four years ago. And since he's actually was seriously in the limelight just a moment, I'm going to let him tell you the story from there. If you will please, Professor Cooper. So I'll get to the story about my clothes at the end, but I even talked several weeks ago to a bunch of UCLEAD students. It's interesting to see looking back, you realize that the road forward that you're about to embark on is never straight. It takes all sorts of twists and turns. The first obstacle that was thrown up in my life was I flunked out of college. After my sophomore year, they said you're out of here. So I worked for a year at Eastman Kodak Company, went to night school, went back to school, actually ended up staying an extra year because I played four years of collegiate soccer, so I wasn't eligible when I went back, so I wanted to play soccer, so I actually stayed an extra half year. But I ended up then doing something that I always dreamt of being an oceanographer. I read Jacques Cousteau's story on the invention of the scuba. And so anyway, at Allegheny College, a small liberal arts school, and then we had 1,500 students there, we were required to do an independent research project for our senior year, and I said I want to do one in marine chemistry, something in oceanography, because nobody, and here I was in the middle of Pennsylvania, they were as far away from the oceans as you get. Well I did a crazy thing, and this is something that you should remember. I talked to one of my professors, and I said, you know I want to do a project in marine chemistry. And I said, but nobody here does that, so I thought maybe what I would do is to write some letters to universities to see what might be an appropriate project to do marine chemistry. And I wrote to four universities, and I don't remember exactly who they are, who they were, but I do know that I got a wonderful letter back from the University of Hawaii.  You know, I had no idea what a lipid was. So, and you now know lipids, because we talk about lipids and fats and stuff like that, and we thought, hmm, but I didn't know what a lipid was. So, and coincidentally the next week, an American scientist article came out about lipids and sediments by a max bloomer at Woods Hole. I called him up, I either wrote or called him up, I didn't know, we didn't have email at that time, now mind you, this is in the 60s. In fact, I was carrying a slide rule, I didn't even have a calculator. We used to, you knew all the geeks on campus because we all wore our slide rules on our hip, you know, the old John Wayne, quick out your slide rule trick. So at any rate, I wrote him a letter, and I said, can I come up for my spring break and see what a lipid and sediments are? And he put me up at visiting quarters for scientists. Woods Hole is second only to Scripps Institute of Oceanography in the United States for Ocean Graphic. Well, to make a long story short, I worked for him for the summer. I published my first paper that fall in a period of new journal, and it happened to be in Science, which is one of the most difficult papers to ever, journals to actually publish in. So I published my first paper ever in Science right before looking at college. I then went back over Christmas and did my entire independent project on my second paper on the origin of oil and published that in Deep Sea Research. But I was a senior author on that. So that's just one example of what you want to do is you want to be prepared for life. And the more you can prepare yourself for life, the more you talk to faculty, the more you talk to people, the better you're going to be prepared for life because you just never know something might happen.  But, so that's a little background on me. It's a sorted background, but the purpose for telling you that is to make you comfortable and even though I'm dressed kind of funny here, I do have pants under this in case they fall down. And I didn't kill the lion this morning so I'm not a Maasai warrior. But if you have questions at the end, I'll be happy to take them, okay? I am considered the water boy on campus. I direct the Urban Water Research Center. My entire life is built around water. I started doing water actually when I got drafted into the Army. That would make it a little easier to see, maybe. I started doing water when I was drafted into the Army, although my first two papers were in oceanography. I've been doing water ever since. So the easiest thing to remember is that my email address is wcooperanduci.edu. And when you come here, my office is just down here in Engineering Tower on the third floor. And I'd be happy to talk to any of you if you can catch me on campus. And if you see me on campus, grab me because then it's the easiest way to find me. So if I'm not in my office, I'm usually drinking coffee over the feet still having lunch. Okay. Water, in my estimation, is going to be one of the most critical issues that faces you as students and society of the 21st century. There is nothing we do on a day-to-day basis that doesn't in one way or another affect or be affected by water. And it's interesting that here in Southern California where we're living in a desert, you've noticed that Aldrich Parkout here is green. That's all treated sewage. That's all wastewater that's been reused and reclaimed right across San Diego Creek at the Michelson Irvine Ranch Water District's water plant. And we'll talk about this and we can talk about that a lot more. But water, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the most critical issues that faces us in the 21st century. And what do I mean by the water sector? From an industrial point of view, we have ultra-pure water. You may not know it, but the most pure water that we can produce is used for making chips for your computers. The electronics industry requires extremely high-purity water. No ions, no organic matter, and it costs them a fortune just to take that water. So that's at the top. Drinking water. We were talking about a couple of us beforehand. I actually never drink out of plastic bottles, but today they were kind enough to give me some water to drink, so I'm going to drink out of plastic bottles. But I'm doing some work in the plastic ocean, and when you see these things floating 3,000 miles out in the middle of the Pacific, you think, my God, what's going on? It's an interesting story. That's a whole other story. The Mexican industrial wastewater. I've been involved in wastewater for many, many, many years, and I've started a little... I'm launching a new website this year, and one of the aspects comes from a question that my daughter asked me when she was in fifth grade.  So that's a good question. And so what we did is we spent half a day at the wastewater treatment plant with a video and a camera. Happened to be a high school teacher here that asked the same question, and she got routed to me and we took her down with us and talked about how do you treat poop and then how do you reuse the water? And so wastewater is near and dear to my heart. Water reuse, as Molly said, I actually ran the Waters Army reuse program and funded the first international conference looking at the reuse and recycle of wastewater, and that was in 1979 in Washington, D.C. and today the world's largest indirect potable water reuse plant is five miles north of here. Yesterday it's the Orange County Water District where they take 70 million gallons of wastewater every day and they purify it and then they re-inject it into the groundwater at your drinking water. That water is more pure. In fact, it's a shame we can't just drink it straight because it's much more pure than the groundwater, but because of public health aspects they don't want us to do that. So then we also have some of the dark side of water treatment, we call it sludge, and then a knife working on sludge. We're doing some work with reverse osmosis and membrane processes, contaminated groundwater and much, much, much more is the water sector. So there's many, many aspects of water, whether you're studying if you're a good guy and studying chemistry or a bad guy and studying engineering or a neutral person like a biology major, everybody needs water. And so I probably didn't pick out enough majors here, but we'll get to that later. So when I think of water, when I think you have all heard of climate change, you've all heard of sustainability. When I think of sustainability, I think in terms of water. And we're going to get into this. But basically, I think water reuse as far as water's concern and sustainability is concerned is like the central theme. We have to learn how to reuse our waste to minimize our dependence on other water. Since climate change has become important, it's a game changer. We now are looking at and you will be exposed to these ideas of climate change no matter what major you're going to be in that's going to impact you one way or the other. And we now have to consider when we're thinking about water treatment, we have to look at climate change and CO2 is the biggest single molecule for climate change. And now so we have a lot of work going on in the civil and environmental injury department Diego Rosso is doing both carbon footprints and water footprints of water processes. Some of the considerations that I think are being and this is maybe a good time to just say there's any major in the university you can come back and intersect with water. Economics as an example.  I don't like politicians. And I say yeah but what do you mean by expensive? When we think about the fact that we as a society don't have the guts to put the cost of human life. We don't know how to evaluate a human life right? Now my life is much more valuable than you guys. Because I have a professor and you have to listen to me. But the point is, I'm just teasing. Don't take me too seriously on this. But what I do want you to take away from this is that think about climate change. Think about sea level rise at the end of this century and most of you will see the end of this century. We're going to have this much more water. A meter of water increase in the sea. I just happen to have dinner down in Newport Beach the other day. The place I had dinner was going to be underwater at the end of the century. We are going to lose 20 nations in the world. There's 193 nations, 20 of them will be underwater with a meter of sea level rise. So when we say we can't even evaluate the cost of one human life, what about a country? Now I know if your dads are rich they may have money down in the Cayman Islands. Take it out in 2050 because they're going to go underwater. So economic models are going to be critical. You are going to have to face some very, very, very difficult and contentious issues. Not the least of which is the input to economic models. Biosolids, this sludge, is going to become very valuable. That's the bug bodies left from where we treat wastewater. It's going to have phosphate in it. During your lifetime, phosphate as a fertilizer is going to be no longer available because all of the known phosphate reserves in the world are going to run out. Biosolids, sludge is going to be extremely important. The biggest enemy in agriculture is salt. I don't know how many of you like to go swimming in the ocean. I certainly do, and I'm a scuba diver. Well, I've also got my PhD in oceanography so I've spent a year actually sailing around the seas doing research.  And agriculture actually ruins all of many even cultural crops. One of the big areas, for example, is in plant biology is trying to develop plants that will grow in higher-stay line environments. So we have sustainable food sources. I'm not going to go into the rest of these. Well, my big research is actually on pharmaceuticals. I have, in fact, I just got a $360,000 research grant a couple of weeks ago to look at the treatment and the fate of pharmaceuticals in water. So we're all peeing on pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors. We're the problem, and I'm more of a problem than you are because I have to take two heart medicines, one for blood pressure and one for my cholesterol, and then I take two more medicines because of my glaucoma. So I pee out four different medicines every day because I only use about 50% of them. And then we pee them out, they go through the wastewater treatment plant, they get into natural water, come back in as a drinking water plant, and we don't get rid of them there either. So we don't know if these pharmaceuticals are going to have an adverse health impact on us. We know that they have health implications otherwise we wouldn't be taking them. They actually do something to our bodies. But what the real problems are, as far as human health is concerned, we do not know. We do know that we've observed changes in ecosystems as a result of these endocrine disruptors in pharmaceuticals. So that's a really interesting area.  They're doing all sorts of great things that they don't behave like other particles in water and wastewater and we don't know how to treat them. We don't know what the potential health effects of those are either. So there's a whole bunch of other stuff. But you can see that... There is no greater issue confronting the world than the water scarcity and quality crisis. We actually just look at that. Just think about this as your source of drinking water. There is no greater issue confronting the world than the water scarcity and quality crisis. In the world today... Well, I'm getting one ahead of myself. So the bottom line is we are not living sustainably with respect to our water resources. And I would argue that if we don't live sustainably within water, we are not going to be able to live sustainably as a biological organism on this planet. The planet is going to survive. The question that's going to face your generation is are we as homo sapiens going to survive? And that's not a trivial question. And that's not a question that you should ask lightly. Because there's not one person in this room that can't help solve the problem of sustainability of people on the earth. I contend that the biggest water... The biggest enemy of water is uncontrolled population growth. This world was never designed to carry 6.7 billion people no less than 9 billion that's going to be here in 2050. In 2050 is right around the corner for you guys. I guarantee it. I don't think I'll see 2050. Well, God, I hope not. I'd be pretty old by then. But you never know. Better living through chemistry, right? But the biggest unknown in all of the waterfills is climate change. Climate change In my mind, there is no doubt about the fact and you may not agree with me and that's perfectly acceptable. In my mind, there's no doubt that we, mankind, has resulted... It's our fault that we have climate change. There are all sorts of oscillations and we've studied those oscillations over the last 500 to 600,000 years using ice cores from both Antarctica and the Arctic. There's no doubt in my mind that climate change is the result of us. And the question that keeps me awake at night is what kind of a world am I going to leave to my grandkids? I've got a 10-year-old, 11-year-old, and a 9-year-old and they're going to say, if you don't do something we're going to look back at you and say what on earth were you thinking? So what's the worst word? I'm going to just... What's the worst word in the English language or in any language? Greed. Greed is at the bottom of all the nonsense that we have to face today. Look at the BP oil spill. It was greed. Greed and then greed and then a little bit more greed that led to the disaster in the Gulf. And it doesn't stop with the petroleum companies either. It's rampant within the government as well. So on this earth of 6.7 billion people 1 billion people don't have access to water. When you see... When you go to Africa and you might imagine that I've been in Africa recently When you go to Africa and you see these young women and it's almost always young women that are carrying jugs of water on their heads for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 kilometers at 14 years old when their bodies haven't even fully mature you can imagine the impact on that woman once she grows up. 2.5 billion people don't have access to sanitation. We are so spoiled in this country. It is so difficult to imagine when I was over in a little Masai village and I'll show you some of it a little bit later. I went into a little hut. No running water. Of course, no sanitary facilities but the people were beautiful and they were very, very happy. But just think what they would have if they had a little bit of water. The thing that drove me nuts about this well, the government before and maybe now too, but the Iraq, two Iraq months the monomoney that we spent in Iraq in two months would have solved 50% of the world's water problems. Two months, unbelievable. Drives me crazy. So can you believe at this, in this day and age you know, watch this really carefully. Worldwide, a child dies every 15 seconds from dialing in. It's a baby. He's quiet, preventable deaths hardly receiving any attention. So I want to play that again. Worldwide, a child dies every 15 seconds from dialing in. He's quiet, preventable deaths hardly receiving any attention. 5,760 children die every day as a result of diarrhea. Can you believe that?  It's just, it's just and you don't even have to go to some of the developing countries. We have our own developing countries in Arizona in our native Indian reservations. Horrible, horrible situations. I think that what if nothing else as you go through the next four or five or if in my case six years to get out of school thinking and every day you just think about you remember that crazy guy that was running around in that red robe and he talked about water. Just think about water. Think about how easily inaccessible it is and if you have an interest in helping like developing countries we have a phenomenal engineers without borders. They're leaving on Friday of this week the student group to go to Kenya. They're going to go to a city north of Mount Kenya and they're going to be working with a school to give a little school water for the students. A little act of kindness costs almost nothing but it makes a difference and that's really cool. Maybe a difference. When we talk about water and we talk about a population by 2050 the amount of food that we're going to have to produce is going to be 70% more than we've produced today. The problem is in the United States how many of you have flown over the United States? Maybe other places I've just flown from like here to the east coast and if you've ever sat by a window and looked out in the middle of the United States just miles, in fact hours after hours of nothing but lush fields that are raising crops all of that agriculture is based on cheap oil. Cheap oil is the reason we've got climate change. So we have a problem. Agel culture as we know it is going to face radical changes in the 21st century when we've grown out of oil and God forbid we don't start using coal for oil because that coal will kill us as far as climate change is concerned. There's plenty of coal to power the world for another 200 or 300 years. If we burn all that coal otherwise you won't have to worry about you could be wearing clothes like this anywhere because it would be so warm. That's probably going to take a couple hundred years but you probably want to see that. But the point is, is that food, water is going to be right at the intersection of food and also oil. So we've got these nexuses, we've got these intersections of competing needs. We need food and we need water. We need food, we need oil we need money, we need to change the way we do business. In the United States it's really interesting because water is one of the if not the most essential thing of life. What I took, I remember taking my economics course this is going way back in 1959 as a freshman in high school and the first day we learned that water, food and shelter were the three essentials of life. Interestingly enough, they had an identified error, oxygen is being an essential of life, which we know now it is of course. So we've got to add that. But I think water, if you don't have water in any shape you'll die within about five days. So without water you're dead meat. The regulatory framework that assures us of clean water was built basically in the 1970s when we had about two hundred and ten thousand two hundred and ten million people in the United States. The most recent census has put us I think a little bit over 307 million. So we've got 50% more of a population today than we did when all of the environmental regulations were formulated and it's about time we start looking at some of those. The world population as of April 21 was 6,774,701,760 plus or minus three. Do we have a problem? I think we do. I think we've got a major problem and it starts with you. Well actually I like to even take it a step lower. I do a lot of work with the K-12 students in getting them excited about water and I'll show you a little bit of stuff we're doing. But we've got to start to do some drastic rethinking about how we deal with water. Climate change. As I mentioned, population is the biggest enemy of water. Climate change is the biggest unknown when we're working with water. Pat Mulroy, a friend of mine, who runs the water wastewater for all of Las Vegas when she was asked the question what keeps me up at night? And her answer was very clear, climate change. And I'll show you why she's worried about that. This is an interesting fact. This one right here in the bottom. If you think about the earth, it took us two to three hundred million years. Maybe even, well if you think about plant life bigger plant life only started in the Devonian or so. Well that's five hundred million years ago. So there's no coal all comes from plants. So it might be four hundred million years. But basically in the last two to four hundred million years we have accumulated the oil and the coal reserves that we are now burning up in two to three hundred years. Is it no wonder that we've got climate change? We're burning things a million times faster than Mother Nature can accumulate them back in the ground. So that's an issue. And that's something that people seem to forget that these people would say oh no it's not us. We're not the problem. I won't even tell you what I tell them. Because it's play company. But anyway interestingly enough you're living in an area in which we import 60% of our water. 30% comes from the northern portion around San Francisco inside is called the Bay Delta area. And 30% of it comes from the Colorado River. Now in order to get from the Colorado River to here you have to go over the San Andreas Fault. That's a big slip fault that's going to allow California to be here Alaska in another couple hundred million years.  If we have a major one in the southern part of that fault it's going to rupture the line of drinking water to southern California. If we have an earthquake and it's not if in the Bay Delta area it's when we have an earthquake in the Bay Delta area we're going to lose another 30% of the water that comes down here in southern California. So we're in a unique system. I mean we love southern California. Look at the day to day. We're in a desert. We never rains. In fact I go home to the east coast. I forget to take my umbrella because it rains there. But it's wonderful. But we have to realize that we have to respect our water. And we don't know what's going to happen with climate change. All of the climate models the global GSM the global whatever they are the global change models all predict the southwest is going to get drier. And in that spring spirit if you think about Lake Mead if you think about the Hoover Dam I'll show you a picture in a second. Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States. That's where we get 30% of our water folks.  Located in the Colorado River about 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas it's impressive if you ever do want to take a little hike over to Las Vegas or the Hoover Dam it's impressive. To be on that dam and look down and look at that dam it's got a lake behind it it's 112 miles 108 kilometers it holds 28.5 million acre feet an acre feet an acre foot that's the amount of water that covers an acre of land is about 325,000 gallons so if you multiply 28.5 million times 325 335,000 gallons that's how many gallons of water 35 cubic kilometers so kilometer by kilometer by kilometer is how much water is in the Hoover Dam you talk about a case of ring around the collar this guy's got a case of ring around the collar this is Lake Mead this is in 2007 Lake Mead's elevation was 15 feet lower than the year before and at that point it was 118 feet below its maximum I've seen this I've flown over Lake Mead in an airplane at 37,000 feet and you can see the ring around the collar that white where the water used to be this year I think maybe I've got some data this year it's even lower so it's only at 46% of capacity so by lowering that 118 feet they've lost over 50% of the storage capacity of that Lake Mead in October of 1998 the way they do this is feet above sea level it was 12,600 feet above sea level in June of 2010 it was 1,089 feet or 127 feet below maximum it's the lowest level in 40 years and my friend Pat Leroy if it keeps going like this if she doesn't complete her $2 billion pipeline into the bottom of Lake Mead she won't have any water to feed the people in Las Vegas another 20 or so feet I think it's 20 feet and then we'll get no electricity from the Hoover Dam we use 30% of the electricity that we use in Southern or California is from Hoover Dam and it's possible that within the next couple of years maybe below 1072 I think 1072 is the number but the bottom line is climate change is taking its toll and Baby Cakes that toll is going to be right here we're going to be in a big deep problem GCMs, local climate models so this is we're in a 10-year drought last year because of El Nino we actually had a little extra rain here we had 2 inches of extra rain water drains out to the ocean but it turns out that they didn't have much excess rain in the Colorado either so they're in a 10-year drought and the question that is driving Pat crazy is Pat Mulroy the general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority is this a drought or is this actually the new norm and the interesting thing is so that Colorado River feeds California Arizona Nevada Colorado, Utah New Mexico and when they sat down at the table and allocated how much water each state would receive it happened to be from a historical point of view at a high water flow we're now at low water flows and that means that we have oversubscribed the Colorado River the water that people can legally take that exists in the river and that means that there's going to be wars in the near future so can you imagine in 2076 you guys will be here you can see if I got this right seven states in the southeast U.S. are at war over water and Mexico is threatening to invade not even just involved they're going to invade us we've already taken all the water on the Colorado River we've just screwed Mexico they don't even have any Colorado River that flows into Mexico we steal all the water from them talking about international politics that's how nice we are to our neighbors okay let's look on to another a brighter thing sea level rise so the good news is when I came out here I bought down in Elisa Viejo at 700 feet so I'm way above when all the ice melts I'll be able to ride my boat here to work of course Irvine will be in the water don't worry about the little details this looks at the level increase in sea level from 1960 here to 2003 actually I brought my pointer they gave me this of course I always leave my office so you can see that even though it's not much this is the change in the mean sea level in millimeters there's a steady increase over the last 10, 20, 30, 40 years right if we look at the average for the last 40 years this is what the line that you get look at what's happened if you change and look at the average for the last 10 years it's doubled in rate now these are numbers of course there's a lot of variability of these little dots here because it's hard to determine but these are as a result of measurements all over the world so you can see that if we even stay here it's likely that it will leave an increase in time so 1 meter we lose approximately 20 nations if Greenland melts the world's oceans are going to rise 7 meters 7 meters is how much ice is on Greenland my son as an undergraduate he did what was known as R-E-U research experience for undergrads write that down that's something you all want to do research experience for undergrads he went to Greenland and he helped bore holes in the Greenland ice sheet it's 10,000 feet deep 10,000 feet of ice in Greenland when that melts and it's not going to happen overnight but if it were to slip off Greenland the world's oceans would go up 7 meters that would mean we'd be in trouble if in arctica melts the world's oceans are going to rise 55 meters that's how much snow and ice now if the arctic melts it doesn't have any effect on sea level because the arctic ice is floating on the water and if you take a I got stumped on this one time this is a take home experiment take a glass of water and put some ice cubes in it and measure it put a little dot on there and then let the ice melt and you'll find that the water level stays exactly the same because it just displaces its weight in water so if the arctic melts it's not going to have any effect on climate change it might stroke polar bears but do we care about those cute little white bears? no the interesting thing about these numbers is that the indications the recent indications and over in the earth system science department over in physical sciences by the way we have one of the top groups in climate change collectively of any university in the nation and it's right here at the earth system science they're doing some work on this and it looks like these the estimates that the IPCC that's the intergovernmental panel on climate change has underestimated the rate at which the in the arctic are melting so it may be that we're going to have this meter sea level rise much faster than they were predicting by the end of the century okay so economic models I've already ranted and raved about those but the point is if you are in economics or interested I think economics is going to play a huge role in the 21st century so how on one can you address these issues what I was growing up and going to school and actually got drafted out of my phd work so I was in the army at the time working with a guy a bit of advice that he gave me is something I think it's well well worth repeating that is that when you go through your academic career and you start getting out into work try to become an expert in one area okay because once you're an expert in one area and you've established your expertise in an area you can then actually do other things I've actually through my career become an expert in chlorine analysis for drinking water I dabbled in biogenic sulfur for a little while I now consider an expert in advanced oxidation processes but all the time I get into these new areas and you find they should go back to some of the roots I just published a paper in 2007 that I wrote the first draft of in 1984 took me 23 years to publish the bloody thing I didn't really know what the story was but then the story came along in 2007 and published it so there's a lot of interrelated stuff but if you can become an expert in one area and then one of you is an expert in ecology and one of you is an expert in chemistry and then we've got Josh down here so it'll be an expert in water you guys all get together and start developing interdisciplinary teams and that's how you're going to solve the major social scientific and engineering problems of the 21st century so now we've got a nexus between the environment, energy food, water and law I've got to forget and economics so you can see that the trend is in fact to become interdisciplinary so this is interesting I gave a talk a couple of years ago to a bunch of non-water people in Salt Lake City and I thought how can I impress upon them how valuable water is so I went out I went down to Lowe's and I bought 50 pounds of sand and I determined that that sand would cost me 10 cents a glass now if you drink sand it's good for birds because they have gizzards it's not really good for us it doesn't lead to you a lot of good if you want to drink beach rock that costs 37 cents a glass now I have some in my house that the guy before me put in and this plain old green gravel 14 cents a glass do you know how much we pay for tap water here in Salt Lake? my bill .02 cents per glass does that make sense? that's nothing what I was standing in front so I have a Prius so I'm a good guy I'm going hybrid what I was standing in front of the gas station a couple of years ago it was pumping gas at 4 dollars and 68 cents a gallon I thought you know what I actually thought? I said holy shit I said how many people are driving into this that's exactly what I said that's absolutely true I was looking and I said how many of these people realize for that same 4 dollars and 68 cents they can get 8 tons of water delivered to their front door so I decided to drink the gas I'm barfed it's not very good stuff and yet we don't value it at all 1 gallon of gas 2,000 gallons of water delivered to my house I don't even have to go and pick it up it's amazing how little we value our water I have to look here because I never know what I'm going to say I could end up off in a whole other world so I guess the real question is this is the other thing that keeps me awake is do we as a country or a world have the political will to do what is right for the country or the world or are we going to continue to do business as usual and our grandkids are going to say what in hell were you thinking this is the challenge that I give to you guys think about the world think about doing something good for the world every day and I tell you it's going to be there's going to be a change you I was on a plane one time or a meeting I don't remember well but I had some old fart say you know what you college professors are teaching these students about climate change and all this stuff and I said no I said they're demanding it you guys it's going to be the agents of change in the world and you can do that you're at one of the best institutions in the world UCI you have some of the best faculty members in the world at UCI and you can affect change if you want to and it really is something that's going to be your it's going to be something that's going to become more and more Transcending the current regional conflicts it is widely believed by diversity of entities that water can be a rich peace in the Middle East and other parts of the world and I do believe that and that happened to me that was the third clip I've shown that was Jane Seymour she was my guest of honor at a dinner I had down here because she's the narrator of that film it's called the American Southwest Are We Running Dry and she is an absolutely wonderful person and is very much involved in water so one of the things that I do for fun is we've developed this wind water innovation now and we hope to engage the K through town students in thinking about a world without water come up with neat and innovative water conservation ideas in wind neat stuff well so as a result of this I've met Rob Machado when he came to our wind contest he had just come back from Indonesia drilling water wells for people in Indonesia this is Rob Machado Rachelle Ballard's number one woman professional surfer in the world Danny Wei is number one skateboarder he jumped the great wall of China on a skateboard with a broken foot the first time he did it off TV he crashed and broke his foot and he then did it successfully Bob Bernquist is the number two skateboarder Rob Machado Danny Wei Jeff Rawley is another skateboarder we've got all of these people that are action sports extraordinary saying water is cool and I tell you if you get a Rob Machado they're really really nice guys Rachelle Ballard I hung out with her at my gala where James Seymour was and these people are all committed to doing the right thing environmentally and it's really really fun and guess who we have signed up for our 2011 wind contest it's a group that's doing their 50th anniversary 50 city tour and it's a little group known as the Beach Boys in Southern California and they're going to be endorsing our wind 2011 contest so my dream now is to get up there and play my didgeridoo I should have brought my didgeridoo so I want to get up there and introduce them to play my didgeridoo do you know what a didgeridoo is it's an instrument that's used by the aborigines in Australia it's one of the oldest known instruments and you blow into it it's actually a tree that the termites have dug out and you go it's so much fun I'm up to three minutes in circular breathing but if I could get the Beach Boys and let me come on stage with them wouldn't that be cool so these are some of our sponsors and you'll see some of these and we're actually getting more and we've just met with a bunch of people so that's a lot of fun if anybody wants to volunteer with us we can always use judges of LRI it's just a little bit east west of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and we were visiting there to write an MOU between the East African partnership and that's a group of us and them to help provide them with a clinic to help provide them with water and with sustainable food this village in the drought three years before this 70% of their cattle 50% of their goats and 50% of the donkeys in other words they were really hurting and you could see that they were very interested in trying to better themselves this is Simon the Chief this is the head of the elders I would have been sitting right about here taking a picture but don't I look like these guys they look a little bit more normal in this stuff than I do don't they but they're unbelievably really great people so here we are talking about water and these are the village elders sitting on the hill looking down at us and all of a sudden Simon's talking Swahili and he and he says everybody turns at me and he says and I thought oh my god what did I do now what that says is you are the chief of the village El Aray and when I go back to that village and can help them solve their water problems they are going to give me my Maasai stick see all of the oh you can't see very well here you see these guys have all got sticks they're going to give me my stick and my belt I don't have any belt holding these clothes up that's why I do wear my shorts but the belt also is for my you know to become a Maasai warrior you have to kill the lion with your bare hands I kind of decided I probably not going to do that but you never know crazy things have happened in my life okay thank you very much for your attention enjoy your time at UCI it's probably one of the most beautiful times and wonderful times of your lives you won't believe that the night you're studying you're pulling an all nighter for an exam but being a student is a wonderful thing I'll be happy to answer your questions first let's thank him


However, avoid self-sabotage, which is something we excel at as well. We shoot ourselves in the foot. So stay with that feeling as long as you can, but then go on with your life. But don't slip back into, oh I don't have this, I don't have that. That's a negative mode, that's low energy. So by doing that you open yourself up to all the blessings that are already for you but waiting to be accepted by you. Repeat that and watch things turn around for good in your life.
