What's good, George? We're all spec out again with another video. So I'm going to check out 10 reasons why J. Uso shouldn't be thrown Roman Reigns by Russell talk. This should be a very interesting one on why he shouldn't the throne Roman Reigns. See if he making some good points here. Appreciate all the love and support links. The original video will be down below. There's the bloodline story, which has been running since 2020. Seems to be drawing to an end with J. Uso versus Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, which begs the question, should it end with main event undisputed champion J. Uso? We have some thoughts about that. I'm Adam from WrestleTalk and here are 10 reasons J. Uso should and shouldn't dethrone Roman Reigns. Oh, it's a better narrative finish to the bloodline. The bloodline saga has quite rightly been ranked amongst the greatest storylines in WWE history, the longevity, the twists and turns, the award winning performances. It truly has been unlike anything in recent memory. However, like a great TV series that finishes in sub part, ill thought out fashion, a poor ending can easily negate much of the incredible stuff before it, leaving a sour taste in the mouth, unrelated picture of Game of Thrones. Yes, as much as we may have thought in the past of other opponents that may have wrapped things up nicely for Roman Sami Zayn, Cody Road. There really is only one that makes the absolute most sense, isn't there? And that is, of course, J. Basic observation would be that it began with J, so it should end with J a nice, neat and satisfying way to book it. A lot of people are thinking like that and I wouldn't be mad for you to think like that. From a storyline perspective, it started with J. The first feud was with J. It started with him. The bloodline starts with him. Maybe over these years, he knows Roman's weak spots. He's seen it. Maybe it ends with him. Wouldn't be mad about that. In the saga, yet there's so much more weight to it than just that. J's story is about overcoming an abusive relationship, pushing past the weaknesses others label you with and ultimately proving that redemption is possible in the end. Full circle sums it up three years on from when it began. Shouldn't number one, but what about Cody? Unfortunately for J though, there is perhaps a bigger story WWE is intending to tell with Roman Reigns and his undisputed universal championship. There weren't many fans who believe that Cody Road wasn't gonna walk out of WrestleMania 39 as champion despite us having nearly a thousand days of proof saying otherwise. It just made sense. If not now, then when we thought when Cody failed, what we all thought was WWE's biggest mistake could turn into its best judgment call given the incredible TV and immense success since. Yes, because as much as Cody could technically still finish his story against a Jey Uso or another champion, would that really count or would it be seen as a lesser achievement because he couldn't get the job done against the guy? If WWE have more stock in Cody's future than J's and it does seem like that's the case right now, he needs to knock off Roman, right? Not his cousin. Should number two, time to make a star. But hey, the bottom line is Roman win or not, Cody is already a bona fide star. Cody can find another way to the top of the card. I mean, gosh, we're really flip-flopping here, aren't we? For J though, can you realistically and confidently say that he can still reach that level following a loss to Roman? J's a great wrestler, excellent promo and clearly given the current fan responses to him, he's ready for that top guy push. But without the biggest rubber stamp of them all from his cousin, J would sadly look much more likely to sink than swim, similar to Undertaker's mania undefeated streak before it. Roman's title run represents a truly rare chance to make someone a mate man and define their career in an instant. That is why, unlike Lesnar breaking taker streak, a J win would feel worthwhile, not only for narrative reasons, but the establishment of a brand new top star. Opportunities such as these should be bestowed upon those who have the most to gain, right? And quite simply, there's perhaps no one more so than main event J Uso. However, there's one more important thing to consider. Should number two, what happens next? As much as J's triumph would make for one of the greatest moments in WWE's history and would be remembered as such, what comes next is truly what makes or breaks everything. Look no further than perennial tag star turned wrestler mania into Binter Kobe Kingston for proof. The build to the win can be as great as anything, as can the moment itself. However, the reign itself paints the narrative that lives on in the history books for years to come. Chris Benoit in 2004, Ray Mysterio in 2006, Dolph Ziggler in 2013, Big E in 2021. We could go on and on. The what comes next needs to be well thought out, a conscious effort must be made to find what made the chase. And that's one of the hardest things to actually do. The chase will always be, especially if someone's really trying to get, you know, like people are really getting behind someone, chase will be fantastic. It's what you do with the reign afterwards, that's what matters. So good, must be translated into the afterwards. As much as J seems like the right choice to end Roman's reign, unlike other options such as Cody, you would worry about his longevity as a top guy without the bloodline saga and Roman reigns in the picture. Without Roman as the antagonist, the Joker to his Batman, what's left? Given J's unproven singles track record, it truly is one massive question mark. He's clearly talented enough, but sometimes that isn't always enough for the reign itself to work out. Should number three, third time's the charm. As great as the bloodline's been, and as many times it's proven everyone wrong who called it to end long ago, it can't last forever. Much of the behest of the WWE and Fox Brass seeing those smackdown ratings. So if J loses at SummerSlam, there will undoubtedly be a large contingent of fans asking the if not him, then who question once again. Cody rode Sami Zayn and arguably Drew McIntyre all seem to be the right guy at the time. So there's certainly a fair amount of danger involved with passing up yet another opportunity to pull the trigger when it feels like it means something. The magnitude of the disappointment for Cody in particular was off the scales as we all truly thought it was the time considering the many missed opportunities before it wasn't. So I genuinely don't know how WWE can continue to play the same card again and again without serious fan backlash. Eventually they do have to deliver and give us that moment of gratification and J's coronation would undoubtedly be the most gratifying moment of all. Perhaps even more so than all the others listed. So maybe do it WWE. Be like Papa Uthrakishi and do it for the people. Shouldn't number three, what about Jimmy? Throughout the annals of time, there have often been tag teams with one standout who seems destined for a breakout singles career and the other one, a Marty Ginetti to be unkind. Now for over a decade, I don't think any of us would have looked at the Usos and earmarked one for success over the other. Yet following J's singles run in late 2020 and his stellar character work in the bloodline, he's naturally become a star and one positioned for a marquee spot. So one must question what indeed will become of Jimmy if J does become the top title holder in the company. Does he become a cheerleader to J? Do they continue as a tag team? Does Jimmy get jealous and turn on J? No, please don't give Jimmy the tucker treatment we beg of you. It just kind of leaves him in an awkward position quickly becoming an afterthought and sidekick. More so than maybe any tandem in WWE history, Jimmy and J feel like a package deal. They have that twin bond that J detailed last week. Unfortunately though, it could be that same bond that prevents J from reaching the top of the mountain at this time. Should number four. So what? The villain just wins again. We all love happy endings in our stories, right? We all love seeing the baddie get what's coming to them before the end credits. Yet in WWE, we've effectively had Avengers Infinity Wars ending on loop for three years straight, more than any other point-and-runs title in the Jusso narrative arc. Roman has been Thanos just winning every single time. He necessitates a happy conclusion. As mentioned, this is a tale of overcoming psychological trauma and emotional abuse. What kind of sicko has that tail end with said villain walking away as champion? I know it's wrestling and Roman to heal. I get it, but seriously, where does J go after that? Like personally, where does he go after failing to overcome his cousin? That redemption likely won't come again unless he helps Cody to win, but that feels a bit, you know? So unless you turn him into broken Jusso, then that's probably it for him in repairing the emotional damage sustained. Shouldn't number four, he already got that moment. Despite it obviously not being the moment of dethroning Roman, unlike Sammy, Cody, and Drew, J did get his monster pot. He did get his cathartic moment. He did, in the tribal chief. He and Jimmy overcame the bloodline's cruelty, got payback on their cousin, and their strength together validated the decision to break away from Roman's journey for good. Jimmy broke J out of the mental trap he was in, which in itself is a victory, perhaps even the more important one in the bigger picture of things. So as a result, it's kind of hard to see WWE doing the same again, unfortunately. The win for J at Money in the Bank. Yeah, that's why I don't think he is gonna win. I don't see Roman getting pinned twice in back-to-back pay-per-views. No. Feels like maybe that was his moment. It was his consolation and a catalyst to fuel the singles title program we're seeing now, but sadly, that's likely it's all it's going to be. Yeah. Roman's undefeated run is over, but his title reign will ultimately remain. Should number five, time is up. I don't know if you've noticed, but WWE is very much obsessed with records lately. So when Roman retained his title at WrestleMania, the first reason many of us thought of was his close proximity to the 1,000-day milestone. Hey, that's come and gone now, as has his surpassing of Pedro Morales to become the fourth on the all-time list. We've all had our celebrations. There were t-shirts made. It was very nice, but realistically, unless you genuinely want Roman to hold the titles for another four years and surpass Bruno San Martino, why is the point of waiting any longer? I suppose he can surpass Hulk Hogan, but that's over 300 days away. It's an old Cody WrestleMania 40 idea out the window and no thank you. So let's just let go of this record now. It's achieved what the company set out for the record books and modernized, and Roman is now undisputedly the guy while he pass up the best narrative conclusion to this entire story simply to pad out these stats any longer and shouldn't number five, maybe Solo should be the one. While there have been teasers of Solo turning his back on Roman when he stopped, stared and picked up that lay in the middle of the ring, it was abundantly clear what path WWE are likely to take in the future. The bumblings of support for Solo from live crowds every time he's teased to turn on Roman shows that fans would be down for Solo to be the one to take out Roman, similar to Batista in Triple H and what really should have happened with Wardlow and MJF. There's always something so satisfying.   He should have been the next guy.  I don't know how they didn't have nothing for him after MJF. They didn't. They had nothing for him. Vying about an enforcer turning on his master, Solo's been the key for Roman's success since Clash at the Castle. Back. It's clear that Roman's lack of appreciation will come back to bite him just as it has with the Usos. However, Solo being Roman's final leg to stand on would truly accentuate the feeling that the walls are closing in or perhaps serve a more satisfying final full start on the entire story. What if Solo won the rumble? What then? Unlike a Cody win, Solo being the one would fittingly ensure that the bloodline saga remains a family affair until the very end, something incredibly fitting. All things considered, so whether it's Solo or Jay, maybe it's time for a new tribal chief. Let's just ensure that Paul sticks around to carry all the belts because I want that visual forever. And that's our list. Do you think Jay should win it? Hang on, lie to you. That is pretty. Solo enters in the Royal Rumble and Solo wins the Royal Rumble once again. Some could say that's a little bit too soon to push it, but I don't know. They've been teased. They're not teasing us for no reason. If you watch and it's been subtle teasing, it's not even outwardly. He's just going rogue. It's subtle. And I appreciate that because the fans are catching on and the fans are like cheering for it. I do think it's going to be some type of something's going to happen at SummerSlam. And the question will become at some point relatively soon. And it may happen at SummerSlam. Solo is going to say no. And going to do things his way. It's going to happen. I'm honestly looking forward to win. Solo, Jimmy and Jay. Finally get on one page. As a family as a unit. And they stand against Roman. Oh, that's going to be because that's going to happen at some point too. It's very interesting. We don't know. And that's what makes this quite entertaining. We really have no idea, man. So comment down below. Let me know. Do y'all think Jay should be the one to do it at SummerSlam this year? Or do y'all think he shouldn't be the one to do it at SummerSlam this year? Let me know down below. But I appreciate all the love and support guys shown on channel Road to 150K. And I'm still going to speed the YouTube wrestling champion world. Appreciate your keeping me. See you on the next one. Peace.


Imagine how much time you'd save in prayer if instead of begging God to hear you, you simply believe that he already does. I don't pray to connect with God. I pray from connection with God. Servants beg. Strangers beg. Sons come boldly.

Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here and I'm back with another vintage GI Joe toy review and I've got a new camera as some of you might have known I had some camera issues so we're back with a new camera and I don't know how this is going to work I hope there aren't any quality issues but let's give it a shot and see if it works out. This time we are going to review the 1984 GI Joe Manta. This is a requested review, this is the last of the requested reviews that I've received. So if you have a GI Joe vintage toy you would like for me to review don't forget to leave a comment below this video and let me know. The Manta was released in 1984 and it was only available as a mail away, it was not available as a toy in retail stores. You would order the Manta in catalogs such as this one that came with GI Joe toys and vehicles and you can see right there it is. It says figure sold separately and it was two flag points and $1.75 in this catalog. The Manta was available for mail order from 1984 all the way to 1987 so for a really long time you could get this in the mail and it was available in 1992 as a GI Joe convention exclusive. Now I don't know if there are any differences between the convention exclusive and the original there may be but as far as I know it was the same toy in 1992 as it was from 84 to 87. Manta is an acronym that stands for Marine Assault Nautical Transport Air Driven which is quite a mouthful. I really do think that acronyms were overused for these vehicles. You don't have to make everything an acronym, you could just create a vehicle and call it the Manta, it doesn't have to stand for anything. The Manta did not come with an action figure but I display the Manta with Stalker mainly because Stalker is depicted in the catalog art as driving it. Of course Stalker doesn't really have anything directly to do with it. His specialty doesn't really include working at sea or on the water. He's an army ranger but I think he looks pretty good with it and the colors go really well with it. I like Stalker with the Manta. One thing I don't like about pairing Stalker with a Manta is the fact that you have to put them on these foot pegs to hold them on and these foot pegs are a little bit thick and Stalker is made out of this super fragile light green plastic and I'm really worried that I'm going to crack one of the heels so I'm always very cautious and I never force the peg into the foot. Let's look at the parts of the Manta. It comes with this really cool looking machine gun that clips onto this horizontal bar here. It clips on with these two clips here. The blueprints call this a 30 caliber rapid fire machine gun and it's pretty impressive looking gun. It has this long wire with kind of a bulb here at the top and that is supposed to be a remote control for the gun so you're supposed to be able to put this in the action figure's hand so he can operate the gun while he's using the sail. The problem with that is that it really only clips to one side. If you were to clip it to the other side it would be facing backwards so the action figure would need to be on this side of the sail and if his foot is pegged into this front peg he's way too far up to really use the gun. I guess he might be able to fit it in that hand but you'd have to contort the wire a little bit and risk breaking it off. So really you can only fit this into the figure's hand comfortably if he's on this back peg here at the back. And I don't really like the way that looks for display so I do not display it like that. I just kind of just leave this wire dangling. The Manta comes with this missile which the blueprints just call a missile. It's got this slot here that fits into this peg here on the outrigger. And I have some serious problems with this missile staying on. It does not want to stay on at all even if I press it down pretty firmly. If I move the thing around very much it just pops right off. I have tried bribing the missile. I have tried threatening the missile and yet it still does not stay on. No matter how firmly I press it on if you look at it too hard the thing see it's already loose even though I pressed it on pretty firmly. So I'm gonna have to ask the cooperation of the viewers here for a few minutes just to try to keep the missile on. Please do not look at the video. Just look away, listen to my voice, don't watch because see there it goes again. Alright, which one of you guys looked? The Manta comes with this backpack pouch because the Manta is collapsible. It can come apart in pieces and for transportation over land it can be put in the backpack which pegs into the back of the action figure with this peg here into the back hole like so. I'll demonstrate how this works a little bit later. The Manta has this really cool looking camouflage sail. It is made out of vinyl and unfortunately the coloring on it can scratch off which is what has happened on this. So you gotta be careful of that and since I've got some scratches on this I will eventually be looking for a replacement sail. But besides the really awesome camouflage it has this cut out picture of a Manta ray and that's a really interesting choice. It's actually cut and stamped out of it instead of like having the picture of a Manta ray printed on. It's an interesting choice. I'm not sure if I really prefer it cut out that way but I have to admit it's different you don't really see any other vehicles with that kind of work on it and the camouflage pattern is only on one side. It is blank on the other side. I'm going to go ahead and break the Manta down and put it in the backpack so you can see the portability mode and then I'll put it back together so you can see how it's assembled. Once the Manta is in pieces this backpack part actually opens up with this tab here. I'm not sure exactly how much that really helps you with putting this thing together but you can fit these two mast pieces in these rings on the sides and that helps to hold them. Once you have the two halves in the mast here then you just kind of stuff the rest of it inside. The sail I just kind of fold up so that it's a good size to fit inside the backpack. I've seen this done a lot of different ways and I'm not sure that there is really a definitive way to put the Manta in the backpack. You know you just put it any way that it fits. Put the missile in there and just squeeze the machine gun in there somewhere and there you have it the Manta in portable mode. Let's see how this looks on the back of an action figure. So I guess when Stalker is not riding the waves in the Manta he is carrying it over land like this. Honestly this is crazy. I mean it really the pieces are long enough that there's no way to get them down in there any further than that and so you've basically doubled the size of your action figure. Hopefully Stalker doesn't walk in under any low bridges because he's not going to pass through. Honestly I can do without the the breakdown feature for this vehicle. I know that they were wanting to add just a little extra play value to it but honestly I think that if they had just made it a normal solid vehicle without the breakdown features they could have made something a bit more sturdy and that would have been just fine. Okay now that we have the Manta apart let's see if we can put it back together again. I'm just going to take all the pieces out carefully taking the sail out so that I don't scratch it any further and we're just going to slap this thing back together. The backpack piece I'm just going to set aside although I guess Stalker could wear the backpack when he's on the sail but I just think that looks silly so I just set aside. The main sailboard is two pieces and they lock together like so. The outrigger is held together with these two parts and they go in these holes. It looks like they go either way and they both both pieces look identical so I guess it doesn't really matter which way you put them then the outrigger goes on like so. Mast is in two pieces you put it together. These little knobs here need to be facing the same direction because that is where the sail will go. Then you peg the mast into the hole in the surfboard.  Once the mast is on I think that's a good time to put on the sail. These holes in the sail correspond to these notches here these tabs. Carefully put those in so that you don't tear the vinyl or scratch it looking pretty good. Now you have to put on this boom piece and this boom piece has a peg here that's going to fit in that hole on the mast and it's got this little guy here this tab here and that's going to go on the back of the sail so it needs to be on the same side that these tabs are on so it's going to go this way not this way so put that on and slide it over the top here push it into that hole in the front and then the sail goes onto the boom the same way it went onto the mast. I don't know how little kids did this it's difficult for my adult hands so it must have been kind of a pain for little kids to put this thing together.  The Manta is a really interesting vehicle it came out in 1984 but you know the way that it looks with the camouflage and the green and the gray I'd almost guess that it came out earlier than that it seems to have the character of a vehicle from 1983 or maybe even as far back as 1982 but it did come out in 1984 it was a male away I never had this as a kid I kind of wanted it I certainly saw it in all the catalogs but I never pulled the trigger I just really wasn't sure what I would do with it so how would I rate the Manta I have to admit I have to rate it pretty low I want to kind of elevate this thing and rate it a bit higher because it does have a really cool military look even though it is essentially a recreational toy painted with military colors but it's not very sturdy the break apart features means that it's a pain to assemble assemble and disassemble I think that the portability backpack is kind of silly and I don't like it the stupid missile will not stay on to save anyone's life I really want to like this vehicle I just I just don't it's a watercraft that doesn't float it breaks apart in a way that I just think is dumb and even though it looks really good on the shelf I just don't see it as a great toy now maybe some of you guys had this when you were kids and had tons of fun with it and so you know maybe I'm totally wrong that's just kind of how I see it that was my review of the 1984 GI Joe Manta I hope you like this video and if you're thinking of getting a Manta I hope you found this video informative if you did make sure you give this video a thumbs up on YouTube and make sure you subscribe I've got a lot of great new GI Joe toy reviews coming up you do not want to miss them and this is the last of the requested videos that I've done if you would like to request a particular vintage GI Joe toy to be reviewed make sure you leave a comment however the next video is going to be my choice I've done a lot of these small vehicles and individual action figures and I'd like to get back to doing something big so the next review video is going to be something a little bit bigger thanks for watching and I'll see you next time it will not stay on look at that


Can anyone hear me in the back? Can you tell us that? Okay, cool, all right. These microphones are kind of awkward for me because I usually hold it right here and start talking in that direction so it gets a little bit weird. But like I said, I'm Major Hayden, I'm from Rackspace, and today I'm kind of bringing a slightly less technical topic and talking about imposter syndrome. So the title of presentation is Be an Inspiration Non-Imposter. So hopefully by the end of it you can be an inspiration to other people and yourself. So we'll go through it in detail. So if I can get my clicker working again, I wonder if Till had my clicker yesterday. All right, we'll just use a keyboard. Maybe. Let's make sure it didn't lock up, hold on. Okay, so a bit about me. I work at Rackspace. We work in a very quirky place. We took over a shopping mall in San Antonio, Texas. And so we had a big food court sign and they spent a little budget on making a neon sign with our logo and some Star Wars stuff all over the building. So we've still got some food court stuff laying around and I'd say the one thing if I was gonna tell you something about Rackspace, I would say it's we believe in this notion of financial support. We believe in a notion that every customer should have support as if we worked for their company. So we not only go and fix problems for them on their server, but we give them advice on what they should do. Sometimes advice about how they should handle things within their business, more than just technical things. And in our company, we have this quirky award called the Straight Jacket Award. And if you do, yeah, I know it's a little bit weird. So if you do amazing work and you go above and beyond for customers, you end up being awarded this jacket by our CEO and they take a picture of you on stage and they wrap you up in it. Sometimes they let you out. And so that's something we're famous for. We're also famous for those cupcakes that were here yesterday, which I had way too many of those. So I'm told we have to redeem the snack space after that and work on it. So like I said, I'm from San Antonio. What is the first thing people think of when they think of San Antonio, Texas? Alamo. Yeah, of course. Okay, so I've got the Alamo in there. A whole bunch of tourists come through that every year. If you're not from the States, you don't know about it. There was a big battle back in 1836 and it's very famous, even though we lost. And so this is a picture of me riding to work in Texas. That's a good one. In San Antonio, we're really proud of our Spurs, our basketball team. And also the Houston Texans just down the road and we've got UTSA in town amongst some other colleges, so Go Roadrunners, I don't know if we've got any Roadrunners in here, probably not. All right. So a little bit about me. Some of the things I do at Rackspace that work on our virtualization products and our public cloud. So a lot of the work is Ansible, Python. We do a whole lot of Zen, a whole lot of KBM. Some of the other things we do that we're getting into is containers, obviously. And then I've done some work around information security. So on the Fedora side, I'm on the Fedora security team, which is a lot of fun and a lot of work. I maintain a few packages. I do quite a bit of blogging and I was on the board at one point. And so I'm also the guy who's responsible for this site that I used to harass Dan every once in a while. And the Dan puts it in his presentation to harass me. So if you're running SE Linux, not in enforcing mode, come see Dan or myself and we'll secure the pants off of you. And I also maintain a blog. So if you like reading about technical stuff and sometimes non-technical stuff and hearing about me trying to lose weight, it's all on that site. So go to major.io. And I also run these strange sites.  It's kind of fun. And I have some Fabe icon stuff there. It's fun as well. All right, so getting into the talk. Mainly gonna cover three things. So we're gonna talk about what is imposter syndrome and then how we can identify it in ourselves and identify it in other people. Maybe loved ones, maybe people in our open source community, maybe our friends. And then finally talk about how the heck we overcome it and what are the strategies we can use and what are these things that we can kind of do repetitively every day to get through it. So I'll go ahead and start off and say I'm not a licensed healthcare professional, but we have some really big mental health issues in our industry. It's very challenging. It's very hard sometimes for us to explain what we do to our loved ones and our friends and things like that. As soon as I start talking about technology, my wife goes in the other room. So yeah, if you're having trouble, talk to somebody seriously. Not joking there. So imposter syndrome is complicated. It's tough. A lot of people say, oh, well this person's humble. Maybe they have imposter syndrome. Or this person, every time they get a compliment, they kind of shy away from it. Maybe that's the type of person. So what I'd like to do is kind of explain it with a story of one of my triumphs and failures and hopefully that can kind of help explain it just a little bit. So we had a security incident at the company. A phishing email went out. It wasn't one of the testing ones that some company sent out to people just to get a list of folks that have to go to training. This was one that was bad. It was not fun. There were some bad guys that were trying to take something from us. And it went to a subset of people but unfortunately it hit a lot of people in my group. And so a lot of us we looked at and it was one of the ones where you look at the email and you're like, oh they didn't even try. Like stuff's not set up right. The CSS is all and you're just like, oh come on, give me something better. So a lot of us were just delete, delete. And we get this email that says, hey, you've received a phishing email. Somebody clicked on it. So we're gonna go ahead and just reset the passwords for all these folks in the next 24 hours. You gotta go reset it. So a lot of us were like, well we just deleted it. So our password is not gonna get reset. Next day passwords get reset but it's in the middle of an outage. So we're working an outage for customers and they get reset.  Something broke down. And so basically one guy in our team that had boasted about not getting the email, that guy was the only one who had access to our infrastructure. So we're all crowded around his laptop trying to figure out how to do it. And we had VP scrambling around trying to figure out how to get the access back. So, you know I was pretty upset about that because we couldn't serve our customers in the way that we wanted to. So I made a mistake. I wrote an email while I was angry. So I wrote an email to our CSO, our chief security officer. And I said, hey look, here's what happened. Detailed out all the points. Detailed out all the failures. And basically it was a little pointy in places. And I sent it.  I shouldn't have sent that email. And I thought, okay, no, we'll just figure out. We'll take it as it goes. So later that night, my phone deans and I've got a calendar invitation from the CSO. And I figured, oh, that's it. He's gonna tell me to just come in and put my stuff in a box and then take it out in the morning. So I get in the morning, I meet with him. And our CSO at the time was an amazing guy. But he was kind of, I'm from Texas. He's more of New Jersey, New York. So he talks super fast. He's got a thick accent and very direct. Like he's just very, very direct. He doesn't beat around the bush with anything. And he says, hey, I got your email yesterday. You got some good points in there. You pretty mad. And I was like, oh yeah, I'm sorry about that. Sorry, you know, I was upset about it yesterday. And he said, you know what? I like the points that you put in there. And I like the things that you're trying to do in the company. And I wanna hire you and bring you on down here to work in our corporate security team. And so I'm thinking I'm gonna get fired, but I'm actually getting promoted. And I told him I think about it. And after I thought about it, I took the job. But it was a challenge. So I never worked in information security heavy job before. It always been something over on the side. So I'm just a guy with biology degree trying to cut it on an information security team. So I'm leading three people who are awesome to know everything about information security. And I have no earthly ideas. So I go into these meetings and I'm just completely lost. I'm overloaded with work. I'm having to figure out how to hire people. And then I quickly find that it should have been a lot more careful about what I asked for. I was sitting there dealing with finance issues. I had to fire somebody. I had to deal with a P&L. I had to find ways to cut budget, find ways to add budget. So these were things that were completely new to me as someone who just sat behind the keyboard 95% of the time. And then some of the people, some of my peers looked at me and said, who's this nerd with no management experience coming on our team and trying to help us do information security better? And so for me, I was just pretty much freaking out. I felt like I didn't belong. I felt like completely a fish out of water. It felt like I was an imposter in our own group which our CSL hired me into help with. And so soon after that, I had another calendar invitation from CSL. He brings me in and it was right around we do performance reviews every six months. And so it's right around performance review time. And I go in there with my notepad and everything expecting to get just beaten up on my performance. But in actuality, he wanted to have a conversation around performance. Like he really wanted to improve it. So he asked me his question and he's got this real thing in New York accent which I can't do. I'm horrible at it. And he says, major, what do you call people who think they're the best but they're actually not? So what do you call people who think their confidence level is here but it's actually here? And I'm sitting there and thinking, okay, these are people who kind of fool themselves as people you don't really want to be around. You know, these are people who want to knock down a peg.  Okay. I was like, absolutely sir, I'm going to write that down. So I'm sitting there on the other side of the table. I'm like, okay, he's going somewhere with this. Maybe I was being too cocky or really confused. I thought I was completely opposite.  And I really stopped and thought about that one. And I kept thinking and I was like, well, okay, well, those people are kind of annoying because you never feel like they can do anything and they're always down on themselves and you always feel like you gotta give them a pat on the back and all this kind of stuff. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm thinking, okay, I need to keep talking.  And I was like, I was like, yes, sir, I'm going to go ahead and write that one down as well. I got you. I'll put that in a sensitivity training. And so for me, I felt like I was being very humble about my capabilities. But in actuality, he was extremely frustrated because he wanted to go in meetings with his leadership and be able to say, hey, I brought in this person. This person is going to do this amazing stuff for our team. When in actuality, he went in there and he's like, I got this person that's doubting themselves. I've got this person that I brought in to go do all this work. I took a chance on this person and I'm not getting what I thought my investment was going to read. So when I saw it from his point of view that he was basically looking at me to figure it out and get it done, even though he knew my capability was not quite there yet, he expected me to make up the distance. So I was really kind of shocked. I didn't think that was going to be the reaction that I would get from him. And so this is where we get into the definition of imposter syndrome. So my CSO would have a very succinct definition for it but I won't say it again. So Wikipedia calls it a psychological phenomenon which if you look up the definition for phenomenon it's something we can observe but we're not always sure why or how it's happening. One example is like if you burn a candle when you have gravity. So if we burn a candle in this room, you know, it makes a very defined shape. Like, you know, it's kind of like that. If you go and do one in space, it almost has like a blue halo around the candle. So it's a phenomenon. It's something we can observe but it's not well understood. We understand it now but back in the day we didn't. The opposite of that is something called a non-mon apparently which is something you can't observe and it's also not well understood. So in actuality, imposter syndrome is something we conserve but you really have to understand more about the person to know why it's happening. So Dana Bauer works at Rack Space. She was helping me put together this presentation. So she put out a tweet essentially saying, hey, can someone help me like do a really short definition on imposter syndrome? And there's one follow-up in a Christopher reply and said, an inability to recognize your own confidence. So if you let that sink in for a second, that's you not acknowledging the things that you're able to do. It's very frustrating for the people around you. And it's also key to think about, you might not be capable of doing those things now but you will be in some period of time. Maybe minutes, maybe days, maybe months. And so I'm also really intrigued by, there's a lot of articles about Emma Watson and she, there's a lot of articles about her with imposter syndrome where she exhibits imposter syndrome in the article that's written about her about imposter syndrome, which is really weird. It's kind of convoluted. But she says that she feels like a fraud sometimes. I think she's a great actress. She doesn't think that she is and she feels like the things that she's received that she's not worthy of receiving them. So if we put it in context, imposter syndrome is really a form of cognitive bias. How many people have heard the term cognitive bias before? It looks like about half. So a cognitive bias is when you have this deviation in your judgment that is illogical. So when you, let's say for example, you live in a very high crime area, high crime part of town and you go to another city and you assume that's high crime as well. So you protect all your stuff. You don't have any jewelry on or anything like that. And you approach all of those situations with the things that you've been used to from where you've been. So I would say also if you've had a bad experience with someone from a certain part of the world and you're like, oh man, all the people from that part of the world are terrible and I don't like to talk to them. That's a cognitive bias.  It's illogical. It makes absolutely no sense. And other people around you will notice that it's illogical, but you won't.  And our brains can't always be logical. I've seen many discussions on mailing lists that make me believe in that one. And so sometimes understanding something is easier if you look at complete opposite side. So the opposite side of this is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Do we have anybody in here who's a pilot or ever trained to be a pilot? At least one. So I work with a guy who's working on getting his pilot license and some entertaining stories. So Dunning-Kruger is someone who believes their competence level is extremely high, but it's not, but not only in the way they think about themselves, but their actions. So these are people that actually are extremely destructive to things around them. So as an example, you have someone who's flown a small plane like this and oh yeah, I've done some touch and goes. We've gone around some airports, I've flown for a little bit. It's great. So what I'm gonna do is go take this thing out and I'm sure it's gonna do the exact same. Quite the same controls, we'll go drop some bombs. Like I know how to do this, this is fine. So obviously that's a pretty dangerous situation. And so the key thing to think about is that Dunning-Kruger, the complete opposite of imposter syndrome is just as dangerous and just as frustrating. So the question I get asked a lot is where's the happy medium? You wanna be somewhere in between. You don't wanna be, you don't wanna doubt yourself all the time, but yet you don't wanna be so completely in a different realm that you're actually causing more harm to people. And so this is completely my idea, my cognitive bias spectrum. It's really fancy when you put spectrum on the end of it. So obviously you got Dunning-Kruger at the top, you got imposter syndrome at the bottom, and in between you've got these three states. Faithfully made it just right and unsure. And getting to just right is really hard because things are constantly changing around us. Especially in open source communities, there's new commits every day, there's things that we don't know, there's things that we learn that we didn't know that now we know, and that gets kind of confusing. So like Seinfeld episode. And so if we start to break these down, the thing until you make it is when you're confident that you can do something, and so your self-assessment is higher, but your confidence is low, but you know you're gonna bridge that gap at some point. So maybe you move into a new job, and someone says, hey look, I know you've been working on the kernel forever, now I want you to work on OpenStack. You think, okay, well I've written software before, I haven't done Python, I haven't done this type of software development. But hey, guess what? Like, I can do it, yeah, let's do this thing. And then you just kind of bridge the gap. And the key thing is eventually you gotta catch up. If you can't fake it, you make it for about five years. Usually there's some kind of thing you have to do there. And on the opposite side, kind of the one step below is kind of this unsure category. And I see this happen a lot in open source communities where someone says, oh, you know, I haven't looked at that application, or I haven't thought about how that might influence what I'm doing.  Like, let me send you some docs, or let me connect you up with this person in Russia, and they know how to do it, and they'll give you some pointers and show you where to get started with development. And then that person says, oh, okay, that's cool. Like, yeah, let's see if we can do that. So it's someone who's a little bit unsure that they kind of need that push. And so I wanna show that being humble is something completely separate.   And then you'll see some people who say, yeah, and I appreciate that, but I also want you to thank the people on the mailing list. I want you to thank the people who opened the bugs, who did the QA. The second is a lot more healthier. When you accept that compliment from somebody and spread it, you're fighting the imposter syndrome yourself, and you're also helping other people around you do it. And so there's a good quote from C.S. Lewis, the true humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less, if that makes sense. So it's that whole idea of don't decrement your own contributions, but spread it. Identify all the other folks that helped you get to that point, help raise them up as well so that they can do the same thing. And so the key thing, remember, back to the story with my C.S.O., they really, leaders and managers depend on you to have that accurate self-assessment, because they really want to know what are you capable of, what can you do so that way they can go to their management and say I don't need to hire anybody, I've got the dream team right here, they can accomplish what we need to do. We'll get it done. And so if your self-assessment is not accurate, bad things can happen. So as some extreme examples, this is a photo of President Obama meeting with the Ziggintaries from Iraq, and they're talking about some of the issues with ISIS overseas. And if you think about this situation right here, if you think about the folks from Iraq, if they're coming to the table, and they're coming into it with the Dunning-Kruger effect, and they're like, oh, we got this under control, all we need is one plane, we'll go over and take care of this ISIS situation. That's pretty dangerous. And that's a bad position for Obama and his advisors to be in because they're not getting the right information, they're not playing with the full deck. If the flip side happened, if they just said, look, we have no idea how to do this, we're completely lost, we don't have the capability, that's also a problem, because then the folks on the other side of the table have no idea how to help them. They just think it's an impossible mission. And so also out on here, these are three people from the mission, Michigan National Guard, and they're training. But if you think about them on an actual mission, imagine you're the person that's in the middle. And you look at the person on your left, and you say, hey, can you take down the target? And the person on your left is like, well, I don't know, like real far, and the wind's blowing and stuff, and it's hot, and I need a sip of water real quick. That's not the answer you want. You want the answer of, yes, I can do it, or no, but I need these things. So if you're unsure about yourself and you say, hey, no, but I need to get 100 yards closer, or no, but we need to get around this little hill, or hey, I need help spotting, or something like that, then it's a completely different situation. Your leader knows that you're capable, but you need something. And so that's another way to fight imposter syndrome, is to put the butt in that sentence. And so the same goes for business, the same goes for open source communities. We won't know where we can go as a community unless we know where the people can go and what the people can do within that community. And so we can crush imposter syndrome with this thing called the Oodaloo. Anybody heard of that before? Any former military folks? Yeah, we're gonna find a few. Okay, so the Oodaloo was the idea of Colonel John Boyd who's in the Air Force, and the Oodaloo was designed for Air Force pilots who were in dogfights and planes. Obviously you're in a situation where you're flying a very expensive piece of material. Normally if you're up in the air and defending something or attacking something, it's very important that you perform well and you don't have a lot of time to do it.  And so he developed this loop which is a little bit complicated, but I'm gonna break it down into something simpler. And the whole idea is you move in one direction through the loop, you make your decision and you act, but you act on the best information that you have at that moment and you just gotta go. And then you take the feedback from every part of the loop and throw it back in at the beginning so your next decision is better than the one you just made. So if I make this a little bit simpler, it really is observe, orient, decide, and act. And I go through these four things and how you can attack and posture syndrome with each one. And you'll notice the arrows only go in one direction. You don't go back. So once you've made an observation and you start orienting yourself, you don't go back and make more observations. That's go time, you've gotta go figure it out. The same thing happens in business, the same thing happens in open source communities. So if we start at the top with observe, the first thing is look for the body language of other people when you talk. So if you're in a meeting with folks and someone says, hey, what's your opinion? And you start talking and people at the table lean up or maybe they put their elbows on the table or maybe they kind of take their glasses off or something like that. And they do that while you're talking. They're interested in what you're talking about. And they also know that you're capable of doing the things that you're talking about. If you begin talking and people stay slouched or they look at their phones or they look somewhere else or they look like they're about to fall asleep. A lot of times this is when your self assessment of your capability is way off. Either it's too high, too low and the people in the room doubt you and they're not interested in what you're trying to say. And sometimes it also helps if you write your opinions and thoughts down and share them with someone that you trust. So let's say for example, you're going into a meeting that you know is gonna be controversial or maybe it's a meeting that could cost your company to spend a whole bunch of money that it hadn't spent before. Write those thoughts down, go to a friend and say, hey, look, I wanna go in this meeting. I wanna propose these things. Give me your feedback. And if your friend looks at you and says, geez, okay, the five things you wanna go say, if I went in there, I'd say the same things. Then you know, okay, look, I'm on target. Like my self assessment is great, we're doing fine.  These are terrible. Then you know you have to do a reassessment and kind of figure out where you are. And then finally, make sure you're getting that direct feedback from leaders, managers, friends. If you find that your friends are always like, oh yeah, dude, you're great, you're fantastic. You're not getting the feedback. Something's not there. Either you're not doing something right or you need to take them out of the situation. You need to go to a bar, you need to go have some lunch. You need to go out hunting or fishing or whatever people like to do on the weekends. For some people it's a LAN party, I don't know. But find ways to get outside the work environment, get outside the normal environment and just say, hey, you're a good friend of mine. Give me some feedback. What do I do well? What do I not do well?  Just tell me. So these are things you can work on. So once you get through the observed part, you start orienting yourself. And this is where based on the observations that you got, try to figure out what your self-assessment was like.  And your friend says, man, these are great ideas. Then you were off. This is your time that you adjust. This is your time that says, okay, wait a minute, I'm really on target. Let's go forward with this and I'll get more feedback and come back around to the loop. And then this really is the most important step. If you do this step wrong, you're not oriented right when you go do the rest of the thing. And the same thing with fighter pilots.  And so then you get down to make a decision. And this is the point where you're going to decide what you're gonna do, how you're gonna do it. This is when you have finished that conversation with your friend and said, I'm gonna go in there, I'm gonna propose these things. I know they're gonna be controversial, but I've got numbers to back it up. I've got data to back it up. I have 15 people over there that agree with me. You have something, you're going into it. And you can't go back on your decision. Once you make it, do it. Even if you start to see that it's gonna crash and burn, that's a great time to get feedback. That's an awesome time to get feedback. You gotta make yourself vulnerable. You gotta stick yourself out there. And so our CSO kind of had a thing where if you didn't suggest something that he shot down on a regular basis, he was really concerned about you. Because he wanted us to come up with things that were a little bit out of the ordinary, a little bit strange. And so like I said, this is the point of no return. When you finally get into act, this is kind of what I like to call go time. Because this is where you get in that meeting. You take everything you've learned so far.  And this is where you bring it to bear. This is where you go into that meeting. You have the conversation, you present your ideas. You send an email to a mailing list. You propose a patch. And this is where you say, I'm gonna do this. I'm not gonna back down. But every bit of feedback I get, I'm gonna pour into the observations for the next time. So anybody do OpenStack commits pretty regularly in here? How many people have been gutted when they've tried to submit a patch where someone looks at it and says you're crazy? It'll OpenStack or other projects too.  You know, I don't think it will. No, actually I'm not. There's a lot of people who like this. So that's where you can pour that feedback back in front side and try and make better decision next time. And so that's the loop. It's one that you have to be very disciplined about and remember it when you're taking those actions. And so the key part of this is you have to go through that loop thinking only about yourself. So don't compare yourself to the person next to you. Don't compare yourself to someone at your company that has done this job for 20 years and you're just getting started. And so that's where I get into the last slide. Matt, I believe his last name is Chavon and I'm a good French picker. I'll need some help on that one. His website is livewithoutpants.com. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's totally safe for work. He's got a bunch of great stuff on there. So he's got this paragraph where he says, wherever you are in life with whatever you're doing, you're gonna be ahead of something behind others and that's okay. Own where you are. Take time to embrace and celebrate that. Continue moving forward. The last part is the most important. Never compare your beginning to someone else's middle. That is the most critical part. Never look at somebody else and say, wow, I'm not worthy because I can't code like they do or I can't be eloquent on a mailing list like they are or I can't propose awesome new things for our open source community like they do. I'll say a good example for me is I've been trying to get into kernel development for a while and it's not easy. And so I find myself talking with people who do it on a regular basis and I used to have that feeling of that Wayne's world, like I'm not worthy type thing. And even when I saw those tour balls, I was like, I just don't want to get too close. Feel like I'm gonna get zapped or something, but it's one of those situations where when you're talking with folks like that, they know that there's novices everywhere and they know that there's new people who want to go and contribute to these projects all the time. And so that's an opportunity for you to say, hey, guess what? I'm at stage one of 15. They may be at stage 10 of 15. I don't care. I'm gonna stand here and have this conversation. And when I hear something I don't understand, I'm gonna ask about it. Someone says, hey, look, let's talk about spin locks. Okay, well, what's a spin lock? Oh, that's what it is, fantastic. And then people identify you and say, hey, do you want to know more about that? Like I can send you some docs or I can show you where this cryptic code is inside the kernel. And then you start kind of building those relationships. And so that's where I think that last sentence comes into play very importantly. Compare yourself only to yourself. If you're moving in a good direction and you're moving slower than the person next to you, so what? If you're moving in a good direction and you're moving faster than the person next to you, so what? Take the opportunity to really understand what you're doing and how you're improving. And so with that, that's the end of the presentation you find me on Twitter, it's Major Hayden and I'm a website's major.io. Feel free to email me any comments, questions or anything like that. And if you have any questions now, I'll be glad to answer them. Okay, I thought I'd get heckled at least once over here, but it didn't happen. Oh cool, if there's no questions, I guess we're done. Thank you all very much. Yeah, and it's odd because, yes. So the question was getting on the corporate security team was it more technical work? Was it more organizational work? Was it more get out and talking to people kind of things? And I would say it was yes on all of those. And that's the one part I never really factored in because I thought information security was kind of what you see at Black Hat and Dev Con and stuff like that. Oh yeah, we're gonna be hacking stuff, fantastic. And then I found out a lot of it is PCI compliance and other types of government compliance and going to people and saying, hey, guess what? You're running SSLB2, can we have a conversation around that? And they're like, but yeah, but if we turn it off, it might break something. And I'm like, dude, you're breaking a lot of stuff right now, so. A lot of it was having conversations like that. And I found that the actual technical work was very small and that was really surprising. And then after working on the Fedora security team for a while, I found it's a lot of the same. There is some of the technical stuff of, okay, how do we wedge this patch in or does this patch solve the problem? Or how do we get this package out on time? Or how do we do these things? But a lot of it is going into Godzilla and going to people and saying, man, you've got a package that's got 15 CVEs on it. Can we get this thing bumped? Like, can we get to the latest version? You know, can I help you? Can I co-maintain it? Can I do these things? So I'll say it's been a challenge. And I'll say anyone who's worked in, like a corporate security team in a large company would probably say that it's about an 80, 20 split of 80% pounding the pavement and talking to people and convincing people that there's good things to do and show them the past. And about 20% of it is doing the technical stuff. You know, doing the assessments, doing the pin testing, figuring out hardening standards, you know, going through and doing all that kind of stuff. Yeah, getting a pound on the pavement and shaking hands and stuff like that seems to be the number one thing. Yeah, I can hear you. Okay, so let me see if I could summarize that real quick. So I guess depending on factors, your background, your age, your gender, all these kinds of things, people may have different reactions to it that may cause you to think differently about your self-assessment of your capabilities, well, the great thing is working information security.  So it's actually a really great career option. Oh, I'm gonna get healed when I get back to the office. So I would say that is a challenge. And if there's a book you wanna read, I would say it's a book called Winning with People. I'm trying to get rid of the bell, John Maxwell wrote it. It's a really good book and he talks about in the book a lot about how people react to when you do things and sometimes the reaction has absolutely nothing to do with what you're talking about. Like you're saying it has something totally, totally different. I'd say with that, and what I've seen most people do within my group is they've gone and just plowed through it. They know that there's some people that are just gonna doubt it. Like I'll say for example, when I came into our corporate security team of my peers who were directors and senior directors, they were all, most of them had done some business school maybe. They've managed people for a long time. They weren't technical or technical for many years. And I was this nerd who was from behind the keyboard joining in this stuff with budget conversations and all this and they were like, well, Major's not gonna get it so we'll leave him out. And I got left out of the conversations. Not because they were being mean, but they just assumed, okay, Major's behind the keyboard. He doesn't care about the P&L and all that kind of thing. And then after a while I was like, wait a minute, hold on, quit leaving me out. I wanna learn these things. So I'll say, I guess the shortest answer would be, it's something you gotta plow through and just keep demonstrating performance. And that's what I had to do. So for me, I went to our HR department had an agreement with a local college and they had a two day crash course on accounting and finance. So I went and did that and it was amazing. I mean, it just blew my mind. But then when I went back I had to have these conversations. So I'm like, okay guys, we're gonna amortize this over three years because if we are, we can do this and we can spend a little bit more and everyone around the table will be like, where did this guy come from? And for me, it was, I finally was confident. I was like, I know these topics and it took several meetings but finally I broke through this group that like, hey, I actually can talk finance. So I say, winning with people by John Maxwell, amazing book, absolutely amazing book. It can help you get over in posture syndrome as well. You can cut up into five pieces that help you understand yourself and your interactions with others. But yeah, I would say you just gotta plop through it and just demonstrate performance and eventually they'll open. So the question is, do I think more programmers would be in posture syndrome level or done in Krueger level? So it depends on what mailing list I'm on. I would say it's strange because a lot of times, I'm sure other people have seen this too, you get on a mailing list thread and someone will just rain fire on the mailing list thread and you're like, man, what did he wake up thinking about this morning? And then you'll get in person and that person will be completely timid. And you're like, wait, is that the person from the mailing list? No, wait a minute, it can't be that, that person. So I think a lot of times when we're in person and we're having discussions like these or we're proposing something in person, I think we sometimes, I would say, technical people as a collective usually go for the in posture syndrome but sometimes when we are, when we know we're not directly seen by other folks, and we know we can kind of send that email or respond to a pull request, sometimes we usually come out a little higher on that. I would say the vast majority of folks that I work with would probably be a little lower on the spectrum, maybe the unsure level or kind of borderline in posture syndrome. And like I said, I think part of it is being humble and I think the other part of it is that we're all at different stages. Like everyone knows more about something than somebody else. Like I may, you know, you may pull two people from the open stack community and one person knows the client tools really well, the other person knows the server side and you get them in a room and realize, wow, together we can go and attack a whole bunch of problems. And so I think that's the thing to understand is that everyone's in a different phase and everyone has a different base of knowledge to work from and we just got to embrace that and just say that's cool, that's what makes us diverse. As I have a quick observation and a separate question, observation is sometimes the imposter syndrome man does itself as asshole behavior, not in the being too timid but being too brash and it's not somebody who has actual overconfidence but if they get to make it, things gone a little bit too far and people act really strongly out of insecurity. So that's another way to the same thing, man does. And I guess the question is how can we organizationally and so the Uda loop kind of helps with personal the way to deal with the imposter syndrome. How can we structure Vador and other organizations to better help our community deal with this? Okay, so the question was how do we kind of work as a larger community to fight imposter syndrome? So the Uda loop helps with the personal side but how do we do it on a larger scale? Yeah. Okay, so I think, I would say, I think Vador has a lot of good examples of that. I think one is, you know, kind of the getting sponsored by a packager for me was like my experience. Is Nick about me or someone else? No? Okay.  He's like, can you write spec files? I was like, yeah, I can write a spec file. He's like, can you maintain it? I said, well, yeah.  And I was like, yeah, he said like every day. He's like, you're perfect. And I was like, well, wait, but then there's that coji thing and there's that B-O-D-H-I that I can't pronounce. And then there's this other stuff. He's like, oh, dude, let's do this thing. And he kind of showed me the docs and kind of walked into the process. And when I came out the other side, I was like, oh, that was awesome. And then someone came by and said, man, I love your RPM, I'm glad you packaged it. It was so great. I was like, oh, thanks, you know, that was really cool. And I was like, oh, damn, I'm gonna package something else.   And I said, well, that's cool. I have no idea what to do there. And so once I got on it, that was also a really good experience. So I'd say the mentorship, getting better on documentation, I think the coper stuff that you brought up yesterday, I think that's a great way. It's like an informal way for people to get involved with there's not a whole lot of rules and process, you know, some basic rules, but I've done stuff like that with folks in my company, the guy who sits behind me, traditional Debian guy. And I worked with him and showed him how to use Cobra and how to set up an account and all this stuff. And now he's building packages and he enjoys it. And he's like, now do you think I could probably like submit this for review? I was like, sure, let's do it. So getting paired up with somebody, finding ways to get involved more informally and then good documentation that just kind of gets you through and then explains the reason behind some of the process. I'll say the page on the wiki that talks to you about how to become a packageer is great because it takes you through every step and then explains you in detail. Here's why you're doing this. Like here's the benefit for the community of doing this thing and doing it right. So that's kind of my three things. I think we have two minutes. I don't know if there's any other questions. Okay, so the last question is, last question was when is OpenStack not gonna suck? I don't know, we'll figure that one out. No, yeah, no comment. Do you think OpenStack thinks it's better than that? Yeah, there's some discussions on the OpenStack dev list that are pretty entertaining. All right, anything else? All right, well, thank you all so much. Appreciate it. We just had 15 minutes, but like yesterday, we need everybody to leave so they can.


Alright you guys so I am back with another video for you guys okay so I've been getting posed a lot of questions about this whole name change and everybody is like so concerned because we are in the like in the midst of application season and people are applying through CASPA for all of these different PA programs and now boom we're hit with this name change okay and so what does that mean for our CASPA application? That is what I'm going to be answering in today's video what's up you guys it's the down and welcome back to my channel okay so yes I know I know you guys that we have a name change a lot of us are happy we're feeling good but some of us are like chattering and biting our teeth and we're so nervous because you know what does that mean for my application that I have been working on that I am trying to send out do I need to kind of do all of this over again and that is one of the questions that was asked to me so Maddie B said do I have to redo all my CASPA stuff then and she was asking this in respect to the fact that our profession has now changed its name from the physician assistant profession to the physician associate profession but we're still PAs okay and so Maddie if you haven't seen like my previous video I talked about more specifically this with respect to your personal statement but now as we are kind of continuing to just kind of get in the midst of CASPA and people are still asking me these questions I wanted to address the fact that no you don't have to redo all of your CASPA stuff okay now what does that mean like a lot of things through CASPA as you're you know going in it's for PA school and it still remains for PA school okay just because the assistant is now the associate does not mean now you need to go through and like delete everything that says assistant or you know you have to make a whole new CASPA application no there is going to be a lot that goes into this name change and it's going to take time you guys this is just something that's fresh and new and exciting for us because it's like okay yeah you know I think this more closely is associated with what we do as practitioners as PAs out in the field but that doesn't mean as a pre-PA student applying to PA school that your CASPA application now changes and you have to spend a whole new you know 179s applied to all of these programs that you just applied to because their name the name has changed because better believe that their name hasn't changed yet either okay so a lot of these programs are still gonna have to change their signage and all their verbiage to either just say you know physician associate school or a school of physician associate medicine or whatever the case may be and then all of their verbiage and vernacular that they're using in at probably anything that they're sending out there they're likely probably gonna just leave it as PA because that is what CASPA that's what APA has been putting out you know it's all about being a PA okay so Maddie don't don't be nervous have no fear this does not mean that you have to change everything on your CASPA application you guys this is gonna take time for everything to be implemented although we are happy and excited about this a good majority of us it will take time it'll take time for us to get used to it it will take time for patients to get used to it it will take time for our attendings and physicians to get used to it and the rest of the health care scope and so with that being said just continue to do what you've been doing if you are applying to PA school this year go through and apply as you would regularly do if you really have any questions or concerns about this call the school directly call CASPA directly I'm sure CASPA is being flooded and inundated with questions about hey what does this mean for my CASPA application now and I'm pretty sure that the answer is still the same it means nothing nothing changes at this moment in time because everything is still new and fresh so you need to just go ahead and apply like you normally would and if you are concerned about you know your personal statement or anything that you have to reference the PA profession in your CASPA application I made a video on that so you can check that video out but I also just suggest that you kind of use the acronym the PA okay alright you guys I hope this gives you guys a little bit more ease on your anxiety that you may be feeling about this whole name change and what it means moving forward for applications and things like that I do suggest again that you read up on it go to APA's website to see if there's any new information in the upcoming months about the name change and what that means for the profession so that when or if you do get asked this question on your interview you have something to say all right okay Maddie thank you so much for this question it was great and I know a lot of you had that same question so hopefully I answered it for you guys if you guys have other questions relating to the name change or just in general PA or just me go ahead and leave those comments and questions in the comment section below thank you guys so much for watching please subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram at Adana PA and on Instagram and get that see University thank you guys so much for watching I will talk to you guys next time


and Dr. Sreeja Rani working as a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at Manipal Hospital's Whitefield. Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index is more than 30. Body mass index is your weight in kilogram divided by height in meter squared. If your body mass index is less than 18.5 you are considered underweight. 18.5 to 24.9 is the ideal body weight. 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and anything above 30 is considered obese. Yes, it can affect your ability to get pregnant. When your body mass index is high it means adipose tissue in your body is high. The adipose tissue contains an enzyme which converts other hormones into estrogen. This can cause polycystic ovarian syndrome which might inhibit your ovulation. So people who are obese may take a longer time to get pregnant. A high body mass index can affect your pregnancy in many ways. One is it increases the risk of miscarriages and stillbirth. Stillbirth is a condition where the baby dies inside the uterus. Second is it can cause gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is diabetes developing during pregnancy. It can also cause gestational hypertension. Cardiac dysfunction also sleep apnea. It increases the risk of caesarean section and also complications after caesarean section like wound infection. High body mass index during pregnancy can also affect the baby in many ways. It can cause a large birth weight baby. It can cause birth defects if your blood sugar level is high during pregnancy. It can sometimes cause impact growth of the baby. Sometimes childhood asthma and childhood obesity for the baby. Normally in pregnancy we check for gestational diabetes around 24 to 28 weeks. But if you are obese we do a screening for gestational diabetes early in pregnancy. Also we do serial fetal growth scans to look for fetal growth. And screening for obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a serious condition which causes your breathing to repeatedly stop and start during your sleep. To have a healthy pregnancy the care should start from even before you get pregnant. We call it pre-conceptional care. When you plan to get pregnant please meet your doctor. The doctor will advise you how to reduce weight and the ideal body weight you should have. And when you get pregnant you should have regular antenatal checkups. Also you should have a healthy diet during pregnancy. And be physically active. And you should avoid active or passive smoking and alcohol.

Yo, what up welcome back to another episode well I finally got off my couch and updated the print shop as I continue my financial journey forward to acquire the holy grail The apotheosis of retail marketing. That's right the forsaken sauce Today's episode is sponsored by Squarespace All right gang I'm gonna level with you for once on my previous video a video about a large format road trip now streaming everywhere and coming soon to DVD Blu-ray Blu-ray 4k UHD and refrigerator doors We stumbled upon a really cool roadside service station and motel at the time However, we were bound by the shackles of large format when you shoot large format the setup and expense Involved kind of forces you to be really picky about what it is you choose to shoot So while we were there we mostly took time to scout out the area and I only took two photos Obviously I wanted to take way more and my buddy Caleb also known as Caleb felt the same way I wish I had the Mamiya again. It's true We were homesick for our roll-film cameras and we might also be suffering from non-like a cool location of phobia The fear of not having your like on you when something dope happens having our roll-film cameras would just be easier because it would allow Us to wiggle around and try different compositions cameras like the Mamiya 7 which wouldn't judge us for taking three hours to figure out Front standard tilt and then just giving up and shooting at f64 anyway Well after getting home and punching the air for like an hour Caleb and I started thinking Why don't we just go back? We're not babies anymore. We're adults. We can do whatever we want With this newfound confidence we scheduled a two-day trip back over yonder But after having just come back from a week on the road I wasn't really ready to notify both Monica and Baxter that I'd be departing again so soon So after telling Monica I was going to the grocery store and would be back in an hour Caleb and I hitched up our saddles and hopped aboard my 1996 Lexus LS 400 a 400 ISO car with an abundance of grain After about four hours on the road We got easily sidetracked by some barbecue because we're slowly trying to pivot our channels from film photography to four-hour barbecue muck bangs My first inclination of what weapon to bring with me on this trip was definitely the Mamiya 7 However while the Mamiya 7 is a beautiful camera that shoots downright sensual images It didn't really feel like it was the camera for the trip in its place I brought along the Pentax 6x7 the Leica m6 and of course the Fuji tx1 Because I'm the king of bringing too much gear and making my own shooting experience much more difficult Anyway after making Caleb pay for all the gas and then deleting my Venmo So I didn't have to reimburse him we finally arrived at our location for sunset five hours of driving Before going totally ape on the scene with our cameras like a baboon on an ungodly amount of pcp We needed a game plan I started off with a roll of tmax 400 in the Leica But similar to pairing a fine wine like Pinot Grigio with salmon dead or alive I would need to pair a lens nicely with the m6 I'd start off by shooting indoor scenes. So the ultra wide 12 millimeter would be the ticket Shooting these interiors was a dream come true The shadows on tmax 400 just fall off into this otherworldly deep lack that feels like an abyss of tea grain I've been to many abandoned s*** holes over the years, but what is it about this one that makes it so special to me? I think it's kind of becoming harder and harder to find places abandoned that aren't smattered with graffiti Graffiti doesn't really make for good photos in my opinion, especially when there are an abundance of dicks drawn everywhere But I suppose that's kind of subjective Something else that crosses my 57 IQ mind every time I find a place like this is that these buildings aren't going to be around forever Eventually whoever owns the land or buys it even will tear them down Technically they are hazardous and shouldn't be entered But that didn't really matter to us. Caleb and I are both two guys with big dreams and small cameras A dangerous combination. That does not seem very stable. Well, you know me If there's a toilet, I'm shooting it Eventually I decided to put on my big boy pants and pull out the beastly pentax 6x7 equipped with a legendary 75 millimeter 2.8 an ultra sharp lens I returned to the site where I shot this image on 8x10 But after two seconds I realized I needed to stop living in the past and find new compositions That and the light was already gone In the far far back. I found a used car dealership The vehicles would need a little tlc But if the fast and the furious movies taught me anything it's that if I believe in family In no time I'll be skydiving out of an airplane in my project car for some reason I decided to shoot these wide open f 2.8 on 6x7 is quite good for some sweet depth of field Which I tried to use to effectively separate the subject from the background This photo is near perfection in my opinion Portra 400 really landed the colors. Well, portrait and mother nature. I guess. I don't know why I'm giving kodak all the credit Once the sun was down not only did the post shooting depression kick in But I started to wonder if I could get some blue hour shots with my x-pan and some ectochrome Which lately I've been calling sex to chrome because it's amazing even if I'm really bad at it Uh bad at shooting it But to take it to the next level because I'm always raising the bar I decided to shoot through my 81a filter for some added warmth Also, I didn't have the right filter holder. So I just held the filter in front of the lens like a jackass The 81a made these blue hour shots look amazing This shot in particular looks like the colors are lifted straight from the movie lala land The only difference is that there isn't anyone singing and dancing in there And if there was I'd start running because that's some creepy ghost possession bullsh** if I ever heard of it I did a little bit of light research on this place and apparently there used to be a casino on the premises It even advertised itself as the world's highest casino, which is probably not even close to true In 2009 it burned down and the uh Ritz Carlton across the way also went out of business deuces After getting more barbeque and inching ever so closer to finally discovering the natural human limit for barbeque sauce We checked into the room and I had to take a ceremonial picture of this crazy motel sign That I'm sure the motel's neighbors love. Anyway to rehydrate We started drinking some hotel tap water and took a minute to create some not-safe-for-work film camera porn It was definitely getting pretty steamy in that hotel room. All right. What do I get if I make this? In the trash can right there.   The colors are very nice. That is all I don't know why I like taking pictures of bathrooms. Maybe I'm just naturally drawn to them Or I just never like to be too far away from one just in case either way. I wish this shot turned out a little better I think it was a case of dim light and not total user stupidity this time The 5.6 speed 12 millimeter can be a bit limiting in low light situations In time we wrapped up our shooting there and hit the road back for several hours On the ride back We did some critical thinking about the importance of the right gear on location And of course the excellent value of today's sponsor squarespace If you're a photographer chances are you've heard of squarespace before many photographers Including myself have used squarespace to host our personal or professional websites That's because the hundreds of template options and incredibly easy user interface make it a walk in the park to get an online portfolio Up and ready for the world to see if you're like me and don't know the first thing about designing a website Worry not though the process is simplified and straightforward with their custom building components Squarespace also offers 24 7 customer support if you ever run into a snag or have questions If you'd like to dive even deeper into custom design or function There's even an online forum for additional help So what are you waiting for if you're ready to build a website?

I took here and this shot on ectochrome is furgalicious by furgy if you know what I'm saying I still have this urge to shoot this location But I think I've done enough for the time being perhaps I'll return in a few years and see how decrepit it's become since Hopefully it doesn't get destroyed or a pack of angry horny raccoons moves in because that happens sometimes until then I hope you enjoyed the video I had a lot of fun making it even though it's kind of half-assed and lacking direction Go ahead and hit that subscribe button if you'd like or you can use the subscribe keyboard shortcut alt f4


Attention Capitol Hill residents. This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The sex offender registration and compliance unit at DPD is responsible for the registration monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Magans law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations and the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across the country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative and secretive. 80 to 93 percent of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen.  There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65 percent of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the Department of Corrections or Community Corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residents must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org slash police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver. Here's an overview of the registered sex offenders currently living in Denver. There are 2,597 total living within city limits. In Denver Police District 6, there are 475.
