Please like, retweet, all that good stuff, help to cause so we can help you out as much as we can. So let's talk about the market. Obviously, we've been on this rock star run. Technology has been going absolutely gangbusters, all the crowd favorites. You had Tesla, and Nvidia, and Apple, and this, that, and the other thing. And the question is every single day, is this going to be the day they slow down? Is this going to be the day that they finally start losing a little bit of gas and start maybe getting a little bit heavy? And when we got that answer last week, not only if you watch the weekend video, not only did we get it for one day last week, we got a whole extension for the whole week. And we came in today, the question was, well, was the market going to sell the news on the debt ceiling? Or was it going to be kind of a moot point and kind of moving on to our day? Nobody even mentioned it. It was kind of one of those odd things like the debt ceiling came and can't went and, you know, and all be all and everything's forgotten. The question was today, can we continue the aggressive nature? And today was the first day. I can really, really say the majority of the market kind of stopped and took a breath, right? If you look at a lot of charts, you'll see kind of what I'm talking about, you know, Amazon, you know, Amazon was up a buck. But if you get, if you look at the 60 minute view, it gapped up and kind of went sideways. You look at a name, for example, like Microsoft, you know, kind of the same thing, gapped a little bit, kind of drifted into the close. Tesla continues to be on its runaway train. Again, we've highlighted every level literally on Tesla in the last two weeks. Again, big, big move. But again, you could clearly see it started to get a little tired, right? You look at Meta, for example, right? Meta, for example, did exactly the same thing. It did a couple of weeks ago when it got tired and started putting this roll about top here. The next day it took out the five day moving average and got hit. You could see that on the video is doing exactly the same thing. This is the first close below the five day moving average. You could see AMD doing exactly the same thing. It held the 10 day moving average. So the point I'm trying to make going into tomorrow's session, it's not that I'm bearish. I'm not. Okay, I'm not. You can't use the word bearish and euphoria just a day apart. You just can't do that. I am more now in the position of I'm watching really, really closely. If stocks start looking more heavy tomorrow, start putting in lower highs on the 60 minute, on the daily chart, taking out the previous day's high. Because if you look at an AMD and a video, phenomenal runs, absolutely phenomenal runs. But at certain points, gravity kicks in and you could see the charts, right? You could see the charts, the similarities right here, right? Here's a similarity right over here. And it got tired, lost the previous day's range of the five day and got hit. This is kind of the same thing here, right? Got tired, lost the five day, attempted on the 10 day. If it loses the 10 day could get hit on the video, the same thing, right? And the video is just hanging on to the five day moving average. So, you know, we're definitely seeing a lot of names starting to get tired. Does it mean the market's going to collapse? No, it doesn't mean the market's going to collapse. Does it mean, again, the market from time to time, even the most bullish scenarios, need the rest? Yeah, why not, right? Absolutely. I think rest is good. I think we've demonstrated enough times, even the most surging market, that when things get heavy and you start seeing lower highs with clusters of diminishing volume and intraday start to play itself out, you might get a day or two of rest. This is kind of the last example we saw that was, let's just forget about all this, right? So the last couple of times we saw this was a big, big euphoric run in the queues, kind of put it in inverted hammer, lost the five day and then, you know, went all the way to the 10 day moving average. So if you look at the market right now, just demonstrating from the queues, we're starting to kind of get a little bit of the same thing. Again, there's nothing definite, there's nothing guaranteed, but I think you have to start paying attention more tomorrow and be a little bit more 50-50 in your approach going into tomorrow's session of, you know, hey, there is a shot that we start the back test. Again, you want to be prepared.  Again, the last one we had was on May the 18th, right?  So if we start seeing more exhaustion signals, okay, I think start looking at a lot of names that were defended off the five day moving average, maybe defended off the 10 day moving average for today's session like, you know, like in the video, like in AMD, right? And you start looking at those names, but if they start losing the five day moving average, if they start losing the 10 day moving average, again, just like last time, right? If you guys remember last time, we had a really nice move on the video. If you guys remember, that was an inverted hammer, right? What happens when there's an inverted hammer? Well, this would happen. So it takes out the next day and it goes to the five day. Well, now it's hovering on the five day. And that's the whole point. I want to watch the video tomorrow. If the video starts losing this bottom channel here and confirms the five day moving average, hell, why not? And again, just from the options market, and this is kind of what we always try to talk from the options side institutional money flow. There was a lot for all you guys who have option scanners and this, this, this tons of them, they're all, you know, they're all pretty comparable. There's trade alerts and then there's a cheddar flow and then there's I think black box stocks. I personally use flow. I'll go, I just like it again. There's nothing better or worse one or the other. They're all pretty, pretty comparable. We did notice a lot of weekly two 80 puts. I mean, excuse me, three inputs to 80 puts would be really, really aggressive. We saw a lot of three 80 puts coming in for size. Right. We started some coming in for size for the weekly two 80 puts.   You know, it all depends on how aggressive the move is, but I think there still could be a trader and that's at the end of the day. That's what we're looking for. You know, nobody's looking different in the video to go down to 330. You know, we're just looking for a trade at $1 or $2, $3. Maybe we get stretched out, get four or five bucks depending on how the market goes. So again, we try to get rationalize on both sides. Same thing obviously with AMD. Here's the 10 day moving average. If it loses the 10 day, you can see how close it is. If it starts losing the 10 day moving average, I think we could get the same result. The one stock that we talked about over the weekend, I still have some overnight. Not the greatest close that I wanted. But again, it is what it is. I have some cues as a hedge. Is Google, right? So we talked about Google. We talked about Google on the video on the weekend, getting above the range. Everything was going well. It really was. It had a really, really nice spike. It ran up about a buck.  It came back in. It came back in here. Again, the one thing we noticed on Friday and what we saw today, massive continuation of massive 129, 130 and 131 weeklies. Even when the market was coming in a little bit. It was just a lot of size being traded on those weekly 29, 30 and 31.  I want to give it the benefit of the doubt. I do have some cues as a hedge. In case we open up lower, you cover some cues and kind of play around with your position. I want to see how it holds up.  But I want to see how the stock reacts tomorrow if there is weakness in the Nasdaq. But keep an eye on this thing. Again, the last time we saw a really, really aggressive call buying with Tesla and then obviously you guys know what Tesla did. You know, going into tomorrow, for the exception of like an NVIDIA or an AMD to the downside, a lot of stocks is kind of stuck in the middle of their channels. When you go through your charts tonight, you'll kind of see that. So there is a shot, right? There is a shot unless we get some pretty good value on the video and AMD. There could be a shot that the market does nothing tomorrow. Now obviously, when I mean the market does nothing, you'll always find things to do, right? We'll get to the pinnets in a second. Like you'll see alternative stocks kind of waking up. Like, you know, we discussed IoT over the weekend. Do you guys remember that? We discussed IoT over the weekend. Like names like this you could start waking up, which was a phenomenal, phenomenal move. Congratulations for all you guys who took it. But don't be surprised when you're doing your chart work today. You're going to run into some symbols and be like, huh, this looks good, but what about that? That's in the middle of the range. Like, for example, a Carl icon, right? Like the Carl icon trend. Usually, it wouldn't be a stock that I would look at. If you guys remember, Hindenburg did a research piece. Obviously a hit job and the stock got crushed. Put it in his bottom. It's kind of grinding here in between the five and the 10 day. I'm not saying this is something that I'm going to trade depending on how, you know, how slow or aggressive the date tomorrow is. Because again, at the end of the day, I trade technology, you know, mega cap technology names. But keep an eye on this thing. It's been rejected now twice off the 10 day moving average. You know, I'll watch it tomorrow just in case who knows, maybe there'll be some option flow. But if this thing can get above the 10 day moving average, who knows? Maybe this thing could give a dead cab balance. You know, something, again, when the rest of the market is a little bit asleep or potentially going to be asleep, I try to always find alternative ways to kind of put stakes into the freezer. Looking at a name like Cargill, right? A Cargill. They came out with nice earnings. It broke out today. Put in a high, got rejected off the Bollinger Band. Again, alternative stocks, right? Not usually names that I would trade. But again, you know, beggars can't be choosers sometimes. So if your stocks rest, you have a choice. Either you rest or start looking at other things. But keep an eye on this thing. If you get above the Bollinger Band, this thing could wake up as well. Uber. Uber's not a bad looking chart at all, right? Uber attempted to break out today. It kind of got stuffed with the reversal of Apple. We'll get to Apple in a second. It got rejected and kind of went lower. So speaking of Apple, right?  And the CEO made a carnal mistake of saying, this is going to be the most exciting announcement, the most important announcements in our history of this event. Man, I'm thinking the eye toilet. George Costanza is going to be finally put in a situation that he's regarded as the inventor of the eye toilet. Here comes the eye toilet. They didn't come out with the eye toilet.   I don't know what it does, but I want it in Valor and a size 11. If you can get that for me, that'd be great. So they ran up Apple and then once they realized it was virtual reality headset, 3,500. Yeah, you can see the reaction. Ain't nobody spending 3,500. At least no grown-ass adult that I know. So Apple got sold off, obviously took down a lot of these stocks with it. But again, word to wise, word to wise of anybody in any industry. People love, like I love the word, over-deliver and under-promise. Apple did the absolute opposite today. They over-promised and under-delivered for virtual reality headset. Wonderful. Sounds like a wonderful idea. However, Unity Software had a monster, monster move because they were kind of involved with this whole virtual reality. But you could see kind of going into tomorrow's day. You're going to run into a lot of charts that are starting to get tired, are tired, but more important, they're in the middle of the ranges. And when that happens, right, we start looking to the downside of the market to see if we can catch some value. Again, I gave you guys a couple of ideas to watch. Watch AMD and watch Nvidia tomorrow, potentially below their five and 10-day moving averages, respectively. So let's talk about today. Let's talk about today. So here is, again, here is Google. So I bought Google, went up a buck, right, went up a buck. And it's basically down about 20 cents from where I bought it, whatever. I have some, let's see how it plays out here. IoT, again, had a big Friday on earnings for experienced traders and never got the dip to 2360, 2380. But it did confirm 2505. And this thing just absolutely won bananas, right? It took out the 2505 and went as almost as high as 27 and a half. Just an absolutely tremendous move there. Congratulations to all you guys who caught it. Square, I wasn't watching it. 64 needs to build. I have no, honestly, I have no idea what Square did today. 64, it looks like it stopped at 64. It never broke through. So again, 64 continues to be the big number on Square. And an OX actually scalped. One of those names I usually don't trade, actually scalped at 2170 needs to build. Here was NNOX. I believe we covered NNOX on the weekend update. Again, not a big move, but 2170 went to 2270 and then it really reversed. But again, nice little scalp, man. Nothing wrong with that. Roku, 61 needs to build. I saw it up like 50 cents. I didn't trade Roku. I saw it up like it took out 61. Yeah, it went up to 61, 67. This still continues to be the grind from the 50-day moving average. Netflix, nice little move on Netflix. 408 needs to build. Netflix, nice move. Nice move on Netflix to trade it all the way up to 414 from the 408. So a nice move there as well. And I believe that is it. Yeah, so again, here is the area. It's a different pivot for, this is going to be a different pivot for tomorrow. But 8850, 88, it went down to 87. Again, size virus came in for the 280 weeklies, and that's the most important part. If we start seeing the market gap up tomorrow and the video and AMD start going lower, keep an eye on that bottom of the range. Because if they start coming back in for those 280 weeklies, especially with size, there's a chance that the price action will follow. Guys, God bless, stay blessed, and I will see you all tomorrow. Take care.


Are we good? We are indeed. Hello there. This is James Swannick. Great to have you here. Courage. How do we learn courage? How do we get motivated? How do we step up in the face of fear and make things happen? We're about to talk to a woman who has crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian oceans in a rowboat solo. She has literally rowed across three oceans. The only woman in the world to have done so. Her name is Rose Savage and she joins us from just north of London right now. Rose, great to have you here. It's fantastic to be here James. Thank you so much for having me on your shame.  It's a very valid question. I've always wanted to ask that question. I remember Jay Leno asked Hugh Grant that question when he got busted with the hooker off Sunset Boulevard. He walked out on the Jay Leno show and Jay Leno said, what the hell were you thinking? I remember that well and it's funny because I watched that video again just a couple of weeks ago when I'd done something particularly embarrassing and I was just explaining that we Brits are really good at embarrassment and I don't think I've ever seen anyone quite so close to dying of embarrassment on that particular Jay Leno show. It was classic. What were you doing? Why did you want to row across an ocean? Can I also say that I have never before heard rowing cross oceans compared with being caught in your pants down. It was the first time for everything. Yeah, absolutely. We're off to a good start here. So what was I thinking? Well at least I would like to think that I was thinking with the headbrain unlike Hugh Grant. It was kind of an extreme reaction against having spent 11 years of my life working in an office as a management consultant. Trying to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up and I reached the point where I still didn't know what I wanted to do when I grew up but I knew it wasn't management consultancy. So I quit my job, quit a few other things as well including marriage and tried to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. So you were a management consultant in London. Is that right? What does a management consultant mean exactly? What we do is it a nine to five desk job? Was it long hours? Was it what was it? It was sort of eight till six or seven. It was kind of project management. It was a, to be really brief, it was just kind of one of those gray jobs that involves lots of PowerPoint presentations and pieces of paper and I'm sorry I'm probably alienating an awful lot of management consultants in your audience. But in terms of a job, it was a career that just didn't light you up. It was a career that didn't give you any passion. It was a nine to five kind of job, which is fine for many, many people in the world, which is absolutely fine.  I get the impression. Dying a slow death or having my soul eroded was the rather more drastic way that I described it to myself. I'm not actually sure that these kinds of jobs are fine for most people. There are these surveys that year on year show that around 85% of people either not engaged or actively disengaged from their job. I was definitely in that 85%. Yeah and how old were you when you were doing this? Were you in your 20s? Were you in your like what stage of life were you in at this point? I was a law degree. Growing up I was really good at passing exams and the trouble is when you're good at passing exams you end up going down a very sort of predictable path and so Julie when I graduated I did what everybody else was doing and back then this is 1989 she said giving away her age and everyone wanted to be investment bankers or management consultants and so I just kind of followed the crowd and thought I ought to be happy. I know it's definitely a first ball problem. I should have counted myself being really lucky. I had a decent salary, reasonable job security as secure as anybody ever is and life should have been perfect but the trouble is on the inside it just felt like I was being crushed by the machine. Yeah yeah I felt that way at times over my you know in my adult life. There are first world problems but those first world problems can be very stressful. I mean if we're not growing in our lives like if we're not moving forward spiritually right if we know there's something that we're capable of doing but we're not doing it and we're not moving forward in that aspect then we are dying inside. We are dying spiritually. I mean it's not like we're not going to have food and shelter and and water and things like that will always be okay but spiritually we're just dying inside. It sounds like that's where you are at now Let me ask you this Roz were you a rower? Were you like in did you row in school?  You'll laugh at this I mean I'm actually hideously unsporty and I'm only five foot four so if anybody listening to this thinks I'm some sort of Amazonian type woman I'm just absolutely not. I was useless at physical education when I was at school. Couldn't catch couldn't throw was kind of small and uncoordinated and nobody wanted me on their team but then when I got to university I thought well I really ought to do some exercise. I was mostly motivated by wanting to be able to eat more without getting fat and so I took up rowing and found my great surprise I actually really liked it so I rode pretty seriously at university but then pressures of work and start giving up rowing and didn't row for about 11 years until a sort of weird coincidence of sort of decision points and awakenings came together and led to the ocean rowing. Wow okay we're talking to Roz Savage here if you're watching on Facebook live as we have some people here hello Facebook live if you have a question for Roz please do type it in here and we'll make sure that we ask her the question and she will answer it for you so if you've got a question here I know we've got a few viewers here let's have a look here Jaycar says I'm just getting out of college I don't want to do a job I want to be an entrepreneur what do you recommend Roz? Go for it yeah if your heart's calling you to do something it takes courage as we're talking about today to go out on your own but going back to that survey about job satisfaction and engagement people who've got their own businesses or work in small companies where they really have a voice that's going to be heard today are so much happier than people who were the small cogs in the very big machines yeah if you've got a passion then I would absolutely if you know what you want to do just go for it don't even think twice but how did you get to the point where you knew you wanted to set forth on a rowing expedition and just I know we're sort of fast-forwarding saying that you cross three oceans but let's do the first one I don't know if that was the hardest one you can see it absolutely well yeah so there's the context and you know the build up to that and how that came about then sure when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with this picture during my dying days as it were in management consultancy it was almost like my soul had been worn away until I was just like this little it was almost like the dying spotter of what remains of of my soul that just somehow refused to give up and die and I was trying to find an answer to this question like if I'm not happy with this superficially perfect life and what will make me happy and I did this exercise which I highly recommend although with the government health warning that it really can seriously change your life I imagine that I was writing my own obituary or what they were the eulogy that they were going to read out at my funeral and I wrote two versions of it the one that I wanted and the one that I was actually heading for if I carried on living my life as I was then and the fantasy obituary wasn't really about what I would do it certainly didn't mention ocean rowing but it was about the kind of person that I would be and I thought about the obituaries I really enjoyed reading and they were these these colorful characters who would just get out there and try stuff and it didn't even really seem to matter all that much whether they succeeded or failed but they just really seem to live without fear without limits and as I was writing it was almost like I'd opened a portal into a parallel universe when I was where I was living the life that I was supposed to be living it felt incredibly real to me even though it was worlds away from how I was actually living at that point so I think the writing was on the wall from then on and then I had an environmental awakening um became very concerned about what's I wouldn't say what we're doing to the planet but actually what we're doing to ourselves um and it's really not going to go all that well for the humans if we don't get our act together seriously and I was so fired up about this I just really thought I had to do something and I didn't know what I was going to do I was just a recovering management consultant but I just knew I had to do something and then I had a chance meeting with a with a guy who'd rode across the Atlantic and and just somehow all of these ideas collided and a light bulb went on and I just went brilliant that's what I'm going to do I'm going to row across oceans and use my blogs and my podcasts and my my books and my talks to raise awareness of our environmental challenges and so I it was pretty out there I mean it's someone like anything I'd ever done before and I'm sure my friends thought I'd lost the plot but to me it made perfect sense so did it make perfect sense in the moment where it was like oh I know I'm just going to row across the Atlantic I mean did you have any idea about how hard it would be to row across the Atlantic or if I'd have had any idea how hard it was going to be I I would have taught myself out of it I think I knew immediately I knew in my heart that it was the perfect project for me but then my head or my self-protecting ego kicked in and was saying don't be stupid like you haven't even been to sea before other than you know on a cross-channel ferry and so I kept trying to think of convincing reasons why I shouldn't do it but it only made me more determined that I was going to do it and so after having this sort of in a dialogue backwards and forwards for about a week I just knew I absolutely had to do it and in fact right from the start the ambition was to well originally it was to row around the whole world and then I found out you can't actually do that in a rowboat because they're not that believable and you can't really go upwind so I decided I would only row across the the three big oceans so just just describe what the particular rowboat that you rowed in looks like how big is it because I know I'm sure the listener or viewer might be imagining a rowboat and it's kind of like row row row your boat gently down the stream and they're imagining just a little two-person thing here so can you just describe what it looks like and what provisions you can keep and how it's you know whether it's set up with satellite navigation and all that kind of stuff it is a lot more seaworthy than the little ones on the lake in Central Park it's it's especially designed for crossing oceans it's about 23 feet long seven meters or six feet wide two meters and it's got a cabin as each end the one in the bow is for storage the one in the stern is for sleeping those are relatively watertight and then in the middle you've got this open deck which is where the rowing seat is and that's where I would spend 12 hours a day rowing and so there's plenty of storage space I could easily the longest voyage I've ever done jumping forward a bit here was five months alone at sea and I had plenty enough food with me to last that long so I'm on my own out there there's no supply boat no chase boat it's just just me and my little rowboat so uh I've done a 10 day silent meditation called vipassana but I haven't done a five month silent meditation stuck at sea I used to think that I was pretty cool and I had some pretty cool bragging rights like I could say yeah went 10 days without talking once yeah I'm pretty cool solid meditation people go wow that's amazing you just blew that out of the water rose well actually um let's even things up a bit friends keep telling me how amazing vipassana is like keep looking at it and then I think it was that you're not allowed to take in a journal that for me I'm afraid was the deal breaker so I have not yet done vipassana yeah you can sneak a piece of paper and a pen in I may or may not have done that I'm not saying I'm not going to reveal in case anyone from vipassana is listening okay so you set out on this this this journey you're in this rowboat how long was it supposed to take where did you leave from and where were you where were you to end end up on the first trip yep so this is the Atlantic yes 10 years ago now I was heading out from the canary islands just off the coast of Africa okay 3000 miles to Antigua in the Caribbean and one of my sponsors had offered me double the money if I managed to break the women's record which was 56 days at that point unfortunately I picked the worst possible year um 2005 year of Hurricane Katrina and more named storms in the Atlantic than right any year since records began so my timing could have been better um it ended up taking me 103 days and for most of that I did have the use of my satellite phone which was how I could check in with my mum each day less I know that I was still alive and still okay um but in fact that broke 24 days before the end so that was definitely the more vipassana like yeah did people still know that you were okay when your phone broke for 24 hours that people could still track you okay yeah I had a transponder on my boat that was sending back my position via satellite but I'm sure my poor long-suffering mum in the the wee hours of the night was probably wondering if the tracker was still on the boat and if I was still on the boat and um we'd lost my dad's just the year before and she later told me that when my phone broke it was like being bereaved all over again yeah I can imagine she did have a few more gray hairs the next time I saw her I know we're bouncing around between few of the different trips that you're having we're talking about the first one and then we're kind of talking about the other ones um and I know we're talking here about courage and how to overcome fear let me ask you this question um what was the lowest point that you had on any of your three journeys and just to go over it you crossed the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to to to Antigua and then you crossed the Pacific from where to where um San Francisco to Papua New Guinea and I stopped off in Hawaii and bonus points for anybody who's heard of the Republic of Kiribati um I stopped off there as well on the way across the Pacific um Kiribati got the distinction of being the only country in the world that's in the northern and southern and eastern and western hemispheres okay and then the Indian Ocean you left from where and you ended up where yep from your home country isn't it Australia yes yes man I left from Perth and went to um to Mauritius which is just off the coast of Africa so that was about four thousand miles and on that last trip there you would have sailed across where they suspect the missing Malaysian MH330 flight is is it 310 MH310 they're they're still searching for that Malaysian airlines plane that went down and I think that that's gone down over the Indian Ocean there between Perth and and uh and East Africa I think it really goes to show just how huge the ocean is um I think I've worked because you know they've been trying to find it and they they just can't find it with all of their sophisticated um equipment yeah I worked out when I was doing the Pacific which was 8 000 miles altogether that um like if my boat was the size of a pinhead like you know one millimeter across yeah um the Pacific would be three miles so imagine on a three-mile walk trying to find a pin a pin that's been stuck into the ground like great analogy pin just a jet-making pin we're talking to ross savage who is the only woman in the world to have crossed three oceans solo um ross the lowest point on any of those three trips where you know you're in the in the famous you know analogy of the hero's journey you have someone who's in the pit of despair and they don't think they're going to get out and then they find a way to dig deep and get out and we see it in many movies and themes um everyone has their own hero's journey where at one stage they were struggling and seemingly out but they find found a way to triumph um tell us about your lowest of low points oh so many to choose from um the first one was about six hours into the first voyage when i'm hanging over the side of the boat being just horrendously seasick and it's getting dark and i'm feeling really alone and actually really quite stupid just thinking as you asked at the start what the hell was i thinking when this seemed like a good idea um the first two weeks that first crossing were just incredibly hard um i was in quite a lot of pain and oh but um i think it's a lot to be said for having enough naive optimism to get yourself into something it may go to your entrepreneur listener enough naive optimism to get yourself into something and then too much stubborn pride to get yourself out of it find a way to hang on in there and keep on going um there was a really low point my first attempts on the pacific when i left from north of san francisco and about 10 days out ran into a really big storm and my boat was just capsizing and capsizing and somebody um reading my blog became rather concerned about me and without asking me first sent out the us coast guard to come and pick me up um which didn't go down very well with me at all but um yeah that one ended up in the back of a coast guard helicopter and i'm very grateful you know that i'm not dissing the coast guard they do a fantastic job i just didn't really want to meet them in those circumstances so you would think you you could you were confident you were going to get out of that situation and you didn't need the coast guard to come and help you is that what it was yeah this is the stubborn pride bit that um i i really wanted to keep on going but we argued it backwards and forwards for about well we discussed it backwards and forwards for about six hours and i'd lost some of my equipment in one of the capsizers and ultimately i just thought well it's better to be alive donkey than a dead lion so i accepted the rescue but it was a horrible horrible feeling um after i'd spoke to them on the radio saying you know okay said because i was talking with people in the fixed wing plane and when they when i said okay send out the helicopter i just hung up the radio and burst into tears and it didn't help that then all the internet trolls came out and just had a fields day and there was all this you know people who didn't know the facts of the story didn't know i was already very experienced and really knew what i was doing and i had private rescue insurance if i had wanted to rescue it would have been from the insurance company not from the US coast guard etc etc but it helped me to develop a thicker skin anyway that's for sure was that um was that uh when you got back to safety were you like how long before you went again how long before you got up and went again um well when i got back to safety i still have salvaged my boat because when they airlift you they don't airlift your boat so we managed to do that and i really wanted to get going again that year i was just mortified by the whole experience and just wanted to sort of erase and rewind and get back out there but it was too late in the season by then so i had to wait another nine months before wow okay so that was a that was a what you would call i guess a failed attempt to cross on the second time and what did that teach you what did that experience there teach you um not to put so much heavy data gathering equipment on the top of my boat more deeply it taught me that there are more important things in life than other people's opinions and in fact all that vitriol that came out said much more about those people sitting on their backsides in their nice warm comfortable homes just you know tapping on a keyboard criticize you know i love that theodore roosevelt quote about it's not the critic that counts you know it's it's a poor dude who's in the arena covered in sweat and blood and mud and you know just getting and um so i um i think i'd already come along the way in not caring too much about what other people think of me before i started the rowing but that definitely helped me to to get a thicker skin about public humiliation yeah i remember i experienced something very minor compared to what you just explained rose but i i i interviewed the the rock star john bon jovi when i was there 35 and in 2010 and at the end of the interview i asked him a couple questions about my favorite english premier league soccer team um tottenham hotspot just as a joke i said let me ask you some questions about tottenham which you'll have absolutely no clue what the answer is and that will be that will be funny and i'll just put it on my tottenham blog because i had a tottenham blog and there were some other tottenham blogs out there and so i recorded this thing with john bon jovi and it was hilarious it was really really funny and then i posted the youtube link which you can still see to this day if you type in my name james swanick john bon jovi tottenham and i posted it in a few tottenham fan forums and i wouldn't say it was most people but i'd say like maybe 30 or 40 percent just smashed me and said this is stupid you're not a real fan well get this crap off here what the hell's this guy got to do i hate that guy's music stop wasting our time and only talk about only talk about tottenham here and i was like depressed for three days now this is nothing compared to you being rescued by a u.s the u.s coast guard we know when your life is in danger but i remember i remember feeling like really hurt for like three days afterwards and i was walking the streets of new york with my head down going wow this is the first time i've actually been really publicly criticized it wasn't even public it was just amongst you know thousands of tottenham fans but being smashed for doing something i thought was actually really cool and and really funny and then finally my friend said to me he said james don't worry about it there's always going to be haters in the world just do what you want to do and do it the way you want to do it and there'll always be people out there who are going to love you and support you and they're always going to be people out there who are going to smash you but just forget about the people who smash you and just carry on so i don't want to i don't want to take away from your story rose but that was that was you know just my own little first experience of that and i'm assuming maybe you felt something on a much grander level when that happened when you were rescued well i'm sure a lot of people have been through something parallel to this because whatever it is that you're creating whatever you're trying to do in the world you know when whether you're wanting to entertain people or to inspire people there's a certain vulnerability in putting yourself out there and people aren't always going to respect that and i guess we do open the door to occasionally get a complete smashing and um actually one of uh my sort of long time supporters in california sent me a little rhyme from dr seuss which is those that minds don't matter and those that matter don't mind oh that's i like that yeah yeah and so i just remind myself of that and in fact something that really helped pick me up i was staying in a tiny little surf town in in just north of san francisco at a friend's house kind of licking my wounds and trying to pluck up the courage to get back out there into the world and i watched a film about the dixie chicks and the time when the lead singer said that she was ashamed to come from the same state as george w bush i remember that yeah and people like burning their cds in the streets and sending death threats and you know just really overreacting to this and it caused you know obviously quite uh some consternation and soul searching within the band but um the two other girls really stood by the lead singer and in fact she just came out fighting she even said it again she really just said a big sort of fu to to all the people and you know what it actually did wonders for their yes for their profile ultimately and they found a whole new audience so after you've licked your licked your wounds and you know you had nine months and then you went back out and again what what happened then let's let's talk about the second attempt crossing the pacific and then the indian ocean and then we'll wrap this up with with lessons learn you know how to be courageous and how to overcome obstacles which we'll get to just in a couple minutes but can you just finish this the story as to what happened from there yeah to get some completion on that um by the way just before you do that i've got a comment here uh from one of our facebook followers uh melanie who says uh i love this woman her lowest point is when she got rescued and then um melanie says it's not the critic that counts brilliant she's just emphasizing what what what it is that you said uh jake asked can we have your website ross can we have your website now absolutely it's um all the w's and then uh ross savage coaching that's ross with a z or a z depending on your nationality uh ross savage coaching and i blog there about once a week and there's links to my the social media stuff as well there's also ross savage dot com is okay don't post there anymore but that's got the rowing archive on it we also have another question here how did you feel after you accomplished your goal of rowing solo let's get to that let's let's have you finish the the pacific leg and then move on to the leg and then i'll ask you how you felt can i just pick up on something um i'm sorry i didn't catch the name of your listener but um she made the comment about um the lowest point being when i was the listener was me it just occurred to me that's quite a nice twist on the traditional fairy tale isn't it i'm starting to get this one of my pet peeves these days is these um fairy tales that we're told when we're young and they're incredibly disempowering for women or for girls you know that the the princesses tend to be terribly passive and they're waiting there to be rescued by their prince charming or whoever and it's i was speaking at disney the other day and i was just going we definitely need more inspiring fairy tale heroines here and you know luckily they've now created meriser in the movie brave who's you know such a badass heroine lover but it's just an interesting twist that in the fairy tales the best moment for the princess is when she gets rescued right it was my worst moment yeah thanks melanie for that little thank you melanie so to yeah finish off the oceans um so failed attempts on the pacific was 2007 um set out again from under the golden gate bridge in 2008 took me 99 days to row to hawaii and i was that was one of my best voyages ever and what pleased me so much about that one was i struggled massively on the atlantic i know we're going to come back to the lessons learned um on the atlantic not only did everything break and i got injured but psychologically i made life so unbelievably hard for myself i just made every mistake in the book and we'll come back to that later on and then i spent really the year or so after the atlantic really working hard doing the work on taking those lessons i'd learned and weaving them into the fabric of who i am because i didn't want to leave that smarter wiser woman i'd become by the end of the atlantic i didn't want to leave her out there on the ocean i needed to make sure that when i was back on dry land with all of the the old triggers from my old life around me um that i would respond in the new way rather than my old way so i was then able to put that to the test on that row to hawaii and it really works and i just coped with it so much better in my head which is really the only place that matters so that was great voyage and then the following year 2009 rode from hawaii to kiribati across the equator have my little party at the equator and then 2010 rode from kiribati to Papua New Guinea where i was greeted on the dock by about 5000 complete strangers it was just brilliant such a blast wow yeah that was a cool moment um i mean it's i've been so touched over the years just the kindness of strangers people just show up see some mad english woman in a row boat i don't know why but there's it's very humbling and i think they show up because they understand how how monumental and herculean that your feet is or that it was you know and so people respect and admire that and want to celebrate that maybe it it it it it lightens up a part of their soul or their or their their spirit if you like to see what is possible so maybe you know them coming to celebrate and and you know and congratulate you is them actually celebrating their own lives you know warming their own spirit to be able to understand what is possible that's lovely thank you james and i'll i'll take that i sometimes have difficulty really owning what i've done because i see so many people out there who tackle unbelievable challenges that they didn't get to choose you know they they lose a limb in a bombing or they um give birth to a disabled child or they have to look at aging parents and they don't get to choose that and they don't get to be interviewed on a podcast about it and so i sometimes struggle a bit to really own what i've done but i think we do need the people who are willing to go out there and do something out of the ordinary because it does lift us all up yes it certainly does you have lifted us up rose and so i would love to ask you just to summarize if you if you would um we've got a listener or the viewer who's who's heard your your story and followed you and i'm sure is feeling very inspired by it maybe some people are thinking that you're crazy but at the same time they can't help what points of view but at the same time thinking that you're crazy is is kind of exciting as well and just you know again like it makes people think what is possible but we started off talking about courage okay we started talking about courage um getting motivated i know you talked about having a vision and you know how to release inner strengths what what are the lessons that you've learned that that you could really you know pass on to the viewer and the listener right now and how they can live their life so i'm going to say so many things but uh if i had to prioritize um so when i decided that i was going to cross these three oceans i didn't even know how much i didn't know but i came up with enough of a plan to give myself the delusion that i knew what i was doing um had this huge to-do list and i really just started putting one foot in front of another and what i found was that because i had this real burning passion about the environment and probably equally matched by a burning desire to find out who i was or in fact who i could be really wanted to explore that and that massive motivation gave me the courage to do all of these extraordinary things i would never have done before like getting out there and seeking sponsorship and um doing just ridiculous amounts of training and um just it was so massively energizing i really felt like it's almost like in the in the Wizard of Oz you know when she's in Kansas and everything's black and white and then when she goes to Oz and everything's amazing technicolor i really felt like that commitment to make this project you know to row around the world or bust it just unleashed all of these resources inside me that the courage the resourcefulness the creativity the determination and i would just be well during that chapter in my life i'd be one of those really annoying people that bounces out of bed in the mornings just going what can i do today to make my dream come true it was it was just the most amazingly life affirming yeah thing to take on and be committed to only just be committed to it to a to a vision yeah and and things just mobilize i mean people would just come into my life when i needed them and it was almost like magic i mean it really felt like the universe i think fortune does favor the bold and i think really important thing that i've learned and to keep having to relearn is not to look too far ahead down the line and there were times during the preparation that i would get freaked out at everything that needed to be done it got even worse when i was on the ocean i made the classic mistake of looking at 3000 miles ahead of me and just going oh my god and i'm going at two miles an hour and i'm just extrapolating and thinking this is going to take me forever and i just absolutely crushed my own morale i just collapsed i just kind of folded in under the weight of the enormity of this project and i've really learned much better now just to take it one day at a time i mean obviously when you're doing a huge voyage you do have to look further ahead because you need to take all your supplies with you for three months but then once you get out there really don't look too far down the road because that way lies madness you know really just it took me about a million ore strokes to get across the Atlantic and i could only take one ore stroke at a time and so i remind myself of that when i'm writing a book i can only write one word at a time so don't start panicking about finding enough words to get to the end of the book just keep you know just keep going keep putting keep sticking your oars in the water and like i think you can really apply that to any big overwhelming daunting challenge and how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time right you know to eat the whole thing at the one time so a lot of people who procrastinate get overwhelmed by you know all the steps they need to take instead of just sticking to that there's a famous rock climber so famous i've forgotten his name but he says just stick in your three foot uh your uh and your three foot space so don't look at the top where you got to get to just look three in your three foot wall your three foot room three feet here here here and here just concentrate on that and then just keep doing that all the way to you so you go to the top which is sounds like what you did so be committed to a vision don't look too far ahead uh down the line uh anything else was another one when i was trying to cross the equator there are lots of really tricky currents around there that were just playing merry hell with my navigation i was kind of squiggling around trying to get across the equator and i got really sort of obsessive about this and on my gps i zoomed the scale right in so that i could see as soon as i was going the wrong way and it was driving me nuts and eventually uh someone commenting on my blog said zoom out the scale on your gps and you'll see that you're still making progress in the right direction wow at the same time as you need to keep in the rock climbing analogy on the one hand you do need to keep your focus really tight and small but also if you are suffering setbacks and or going around in circles for a little while yeah sometimes it does help to scale right back obviously you don't do this if you're on a sheer rock face but you know in your mind to scale right back and get the big picture and see that you are in fact making progress towards your goal right okay and then uh anything else about when you get stuck in a situation in a bad situation how you get out of that how you have the courage to keep going um i just knowing that everything changes there were times on the atlantic particularly when i was being blown backwards by a headwind and um you obviously can't put an anchor in the ocean floor because the ocean's about two miles deep on average um so you're pretty helpless you are getting blown backwards and you can either get really frustrated about that or just know that eventually the wind's going to change back in your favor and you'll be able to get going again yeah it's the worst situation you're in it's temporary exactly um unfortunately that goes for good situations as well as bad situations but that's important too to love the success while it's happening but not to become too attached to it to always be appreciative of it and actually that gratitude thing is a really huge practice for me um it was one of the good disciplines about writing a blog every night while i was on the ocean was that it enabled me to get some perspective on the day and pick out the things like the glorious sunset or well hey i only managed three miles today but hey i managed three miles today and to to be grateful for the good stuff um and i keep my gratitude journal every night just kind of write down the things that you do yeah i have a journal called the five minute journal which your friends of mine own and i write in it every morning i wrote in it before we got we jumped on the call here just set three wires your brain and the neurons in your brain to be focusing on being appreciative rather than you know like always wanting things the whole time it's hard because i'm one of those people who's always i'm kind of don't give myself enough credit a lot of times and i'm always wanting more and i think it's you know it's a human trait but writing in that gratitude diary just forces the habit of just going hey look everything's pretty good you're gonna have well there's lots to be appreciative for absolutely and you know what the people who believe they're lucky in life do tend to attract better outcomes psychologists have demonstrated this so um if you if you are counting your blessings and you're right we do have a negativity bias because historically or evolutionarily we needed folks on the problem that was the two percent rather than the 98 percent that was going great uh it was the two percent was the same two tiger that was going to come and bite you um so that is the way that we're wired but i think we can really balance that out by practicing that gratitude and yeah it's probably like the single biggest happiness boosting thing that i do okay all right so let's just review that there which we've been talking to ross savage and we're going to let her go in just a few minutes here um but uh ross was the only woman in the world to cross three oceans and she rode she quit her high-powered london job to become an ocean rower and what are the lessons we learned well number one be committed to a vision be committed to your vision this will unleash your inner strength and your determination number two don't look too far ahead down the line just take it one step at a time yes understand what the end goal and the end vision is but don't get overwhelmed by all the the number of steps you need to take just just go one step at a time one step at a time uh know that everything changes whatever situation you are in it is temporary okay if you are struggling right now if you're down and out know that the darkest part of the night is right before the dawn it's temporary things will change the only thing that stays the same is that things are always changing and then gratitude always writes uh in a blog every day if you can or if not just always look at things to be grateful for the sun the bed that you're sleeping in the food that you're eating the friends that you have the conversations you get to have believe you're lucky and you will attract better outcomes so just before we go thank you for sharing those rods they're amazing the wonderful themes i appreciate that just before you go we're gonna i'll just take one more question from our facebook live viewers and if you're listening to this on the podcast be sure to go to james swanick official on

go how do you have so much stamina do you say that it's training or dna oh that's really an interesting question i think i do naturally have quite good physical stamina um i've done a couple of marathons and um did pretty respectable times in those um i think it's actually more of the um the mental stamina i think i've always been pretty tenacious once i set my mind to something then i will generally see it through so um i i did train for up to 16 hours a day on the rowing machine in the run up to the atlantic row complete waste of time and not to mention phenomenally boring um but it did at least give me the self-belief that i could row for ridiculous amounts of time wonderful um yeah okay thank you for that so mostly in the mind uh thank you very much facebook viewer if you've been watching we're going to switch off now and just finish the podcast say goodbye rose you can just hi facebook there you go thank you so much rose i really appreciate it so we're going to say

Hi friends, I am Arpita Karwa and in this video I will be talking about evolution of English in India and important aspects of this topic that are relevant from UGZNet exam point of view. So let's begin. English was introduced in India by British colonisation and it now stands as one of India's official languages sharing status with Hindi. It's usage as a second language extends to about 8-11% of the educated populace according to a contemporary assessment. On December 31, 1600, Queen Elizabeth's Charter marked the genesis of the consortium of London merchants venturing into Indian trade. With this pivotal moment, the English language made its debut on Indian shores, leaving an indelible mark that persists even in the post-British era. As we commemorate the 75th Republic Day in 2024, English still stands as the testament to India's linguistic evolution and cultural amalgamation. Now let us look at the topic of history of this interruption of Indian education in India. Prior to 1800, the East India Company or EIC primarily provided English education exclusively to European employees, children and some Anglo-Indians. Initially, the company paid little attention to educating Indians, relying instead on the indigenous educational institutions such as mathabs, village schools, domestic instruction, which was taught through Sanskrit or other Indian languages. It wasn't until the late 18th century when the EIC extended its control over the Indian subcontinent, excluding Punjab and Sindh of course, that it began considering native education viewing themselves as a civilising force. The company aimed to still awe in respect for Europeans among Indians, ultimately solving the commercial interests of the British Empire and facilitating the spread of Christianity. Lord Macaulay famously articulated in the House of Commons that trading with civilised individuals proved more profitable than governing savages, highlighting the strategic nature of educating natives within the border imperial agenda. Now let's look at the first blueprint of English education in India. The first blueprint on English education in India was prepared in 1792 by Charles Grant, a director of East India Company. Charles Grant describes as the Christian director of the EIC. It is a noticeable trend that a lot of questions are being asked from chronology and timeline and context of evolution of English in India. In this video I have created an exhaustive timeline mentioning all the important years and all the important events at one place. So get ready with your notepads to jot down the same. Now let's look at the timeline of evolution of English in India. The first important year is 1696. In this year the British East India Company established Fort William in Calcutta. It was named after King William III of England and served as a fortified settlement for the British in Bengal. There have been a previous year question regarding the same. The second important year is 1767. It was a year that marked the arrival of Charles Grant in India. A question on this date has also been asked in the UGC Net exam. This is one of the most important dates in the evolution of English in India. The year is 1835. English replaced Persian as the official language of the East India Company. The year is also important for Macaulay's Minutes on Education. He is famous for the lines a class who maybe interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern. A class of persons Indian blood and colour but English in taste, in opinion, in morals and in intellect. Questions from this particular topic Macaulay's Minutes are very frequently asked in UGC Net exam so be prepared for it. If you are looking for past year papers of UGC Net English then we invite you to visit our website right now. We have provided all past year salt papers of UGC Net exam along with answer keys free of cost on our website. You can simply go and download the papers and start your preparation right away. Another important year that you must remember not only from the perspective of UGC Net paper 2 but paper 1 as well for the topic higher education in India and this year is 1854 remembered for Woods Dispatch by Charles Wood in 1854. It is known as the Magna Carta of English Education in India. It resulted in the establishment of medical engineering law and other institutions of professional education. Another important year is 1857 that led to the establishment of major universities. Just before the end of the company rule universities modeled after the University of London using English as the medium of instruction and they established University of Calcutta, Madras, University of Mumbai so all these big universities were set up at that time. The next important year is 1858 which marks the crown rule in India. In the year 1858 India became the founding member of the League of Nations British India. In this year University of Punjab was formally established with the convening of the first meeting of its CNET on October 14th 1882 at Shimla. The year 1882 is also very important as it is marked by Hunter's Commission. Hunter's Education Commission was founded in 1882 by Lord Rippon Building during the British rule. This also introduced primary education under the Local Self-Governing Act or Local Self-Government Act I should rather say. Here is a previous year question that emphasizes the importance of knowing the above timeline. Before we move on to the next point here is something that I want to share.

Now another important thing that you must know about is the institutions that have played significant role in the evolution of English in India. There have been previous year questions from this topic as well. First is language institutes and language learning centres. Various language institutes and learning centres such as English and Foreign Language University, EFNU in Hyderabad have been established to teach English and other foreign languages. Another important institution is the Konimara Public Library Chennai. Stablished in 1896 the Konimara Public Library is one of the four national depository libraries in India. It receives copies of all books, newspapers and periodicals published in India. Its establishment reflects the colonial era's emphasis on education and discernment of knowledge including English literature and publication. Number three in the list is Dhvaniyoka's Centre for Indian Studies in Mysore. Named after the critical work Dhvaniyoka by Anand Vardhana from 9th century AD, this centre in Mysore signifies deep roots of Indian literary and linguistic tradition. It presents a historical continuity in the study and appreciation of Indian culture and literature including the impact of English as a language of scholarship and communication. Number fourth is Bandarkar Oriental Research Institute Pune. Founded in 1917 and named after Ramakrishna Gopal Bandarkar, a pioneer of Indulogy in India, this institute is renowned for its collection of ancient Sanskrit and Prakritic manuscripts. Its establishment reflects the growing interest in the study of Indian languages, literature and culture including their intersection with Indian scholarship and colonial era linguistic policies. Let's talk about another major institution that is Ashatik Society Kolkata. Stablished during the company's rule in India that is East India Company, the Ashatik Society was founded to promote Oriental research including the study of languages, literature, history and culture. Its formation underscores the colonial administration's interest in understanding and documenting Indians' diverse linguistic and cultural heritage including the role of English as a medium for scholarly pursuit and colonial governance. There have been matters of following questions from all the above institutions that I have just mentioned so very very important to have a note of it. At last you must also be aware of literary societies and organizations. Literary societies and organizations like the Sahitya Academy and the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage in touch have promoted English literature and supported writers and poets and artists working in English. So that was all about English in India, understanding the evolution of English studies in India is very very important for clearing UGC net English as questions pertaining to these topics that we just talked about consistently come in the paper. This video was just a brief overview of the topic for a more detailed study consider subscribing to a course where you will find full-fledged module dedicated to evolution of English studies in India. I hope you liked and found this video useful, consider subscribing and stay tuned to arpathakarwa.com for more such informative videos. So as I always say that's it from my side for this video lecture I'll meet you very soon in the next video lecture till the time we meet next happy learning keep loving literature and stay tuned to arpathakarwa.com


Hello, thanks for taking the time to watch the demo. In the following, I'm going to run some out-of-the-box benchmarks against several Ingress controllers. First, a little about me. My name is Daniel Corbett, and I am the Director of Product at HA Proxy Technologies. Benchmarking is a science in and of itself, but many users do not have the time required to perform head-to-head tests against the wide range of Ingress controllers that are available. Understanding how your Ingress controller and proxy performs is important as poor performance can cause you to use excessive resources, which ultimately translates to lost money, especially in a cloud-native world. It can also lead to a suboptimal user experience for your end clients. However, when it comes to tuning various pieces of the infrastructure, many users get lost in the abyss of information online, or just do not even think it's something they need to do. This means that many users end up running out of the box configurations. This demo is going to focus explicitly on those out-of-the-box configurations to find out which Ingress controller performs the best in a new setup. I've included a link to the full architecture setup guide and code to reproduce these benchmarks on the HA Proxy Technologies GitHub located on the URL at the top of this slide. For this demo, I've configured a six-node Kubernetes cluster running on C5 extra-large instances. One of the nodes has been dedicated specifically to the Ingress controllers. The other five are where we will run our traffic injectors. I have five pods running a standard echo application in which the Ingress controllers will be monitoring for changes and routing traffic to. In these tests, I'm testing with Envoy with the contours the Ingress controller, the HA Proxy Ingress controller, two different Nginx Ingress controllers, and traffic. For each of these, I will be running the latest versions at the time of this benchmark, which are shown in the table. You may be wondering why I have two different Nginx Ingress controllers listed. This is because there are two completely different open source projects. One is a Kubernetes community-driven project, and the other is directly from Nginx Inc. The biggest difference is the Kubernetes community-driven one has a very complex configuration and harnesses Lua for many of the dynamic capabilities, while the Nginx Inc. one is a bit more slimmed down and does not use Lua. From here on out, I'll refer to the Kubernetes community-driven project as Nginx, and the other as Nginx Inc. For the actual tests, I will use the tool Hey. During the test, I will maintain 50 concurrent workers from five traffic-injecting pods. Each Ingress controller will be benchmarked for a total of six minutes. Don't worry, I'll do some post-processing magic to skip through the boring parts. During this time, I will also scale the pods up to seven and back down to five with 30-second intervals in between scaleouts. This will happen approximately three times, and then I will make several changes to the Ingress controllers themselves, such as adding and removing course headers and adding and removing path rewrite rules. I will also issue a sleep in between each change for 30 seconds. At the end of the benchmarking, we will graph the average request per second, the 75th, 95th, and 99th latency percentiles, and user-level CPU usage. We'll also graph the number of HTTP error codes that we receive. Let's get the benchmark started. I'll be running a shell script that will handle running the benchmark, as well as collecting and graphing the data. Let's go ahead and start the benchmark script. The test is completed. Let's examine the graph data. If we look at the first chart, we're able to see that HA proxy came on top, averaging approximately 46,000 requests per second, with Envoy in second place at around 18,000. We can see that traffic came in last at around 12,000 requests per second. If we look at the latency percentiles, we can see that HA proxy had the lowest 75th, 95th, and 99th percentiles. In fact, its 99th percentile is half of Envoy's who came in that second. Traffic and NGINX ink were neck and neck for a close third, and we can see that NGINX came in last with a massive spike for the 99th percentile metrics. Looking over at user-space CPU usage, we're able to see that HA proxy and NGINX ink were neck and neck in CPU usage with 48% and 46% CPU usage respectively. Both Envoy and traffic came in around the mid 70% range. Now, let's look at how many HTTP errors were produced by each proxy. It appears that neither HA proxy nor NGINX ink produced any HTTP errors, but traffic produced a little over 800 502 errors, NGINX produced 50 502s and eight 504s, and Envoy produced 21 503 errors. That concludes our demo. HA proxy has a reputation for being the world's fastest and most widely used software load balancer in the world for a reason. Give it a try today and you'll be certain that it's out of the box configuration will supercharge your Kubernetes environment.


Moving on, the Benway State House of Assembly today recommended the immediate suspension of the 23 local government councils of all local legislative members in the state for misappropriation of phones. The Speaker, Benway State House of Assembly, Mr. Dajaw, gave this ruling after a concentration of the report of the Addo Committee set to investigate the income an expeditious reported forward to by the governor. According to the Speaker, the suspension has become necessary in order to pave way for smooth and detailed investigation into the income and expenditures of the council by the House. That's agreed with the prayers of the common community by Hon. Ben Doe Pison. Say aye. Aye. Those against aye. Earlier while presenting the report, Chairman of the Addo Committee, Mr. Peter, reviewed that his committee discovered huge financial misappropriation by the 23 local government councils in the state and among other things recommended the House to pass a resolution calling on the governor to suspend all the councils in order to give way for a detailed investigation into the income and expenditures of the councils. I'm also the authority on the state assembly to perform outside functions about the local government council. The committee is worried by the outright disregard to the procedure and mismanagement of funds about the period funded with you being on the committee, being on the committee I've seen so far. The committee also pray that in order to conduct the investigation, without any interference, the committee recommends the immediate suspension of the executive local government council chairman in all the 23 local government council and also the legislative council for conniving with the executive council to mismanage public funds put in their trust. The suspended local government council chairman and members of the legislative council should be prepared to appear before the Addo Committee any time the attention is needed for clarification.

youth employability and empowerment panesia for sustainable economic growth Afrika's population has grown to over 800 million in the last 50 years and is estimated to grow to over 1.8 billion in the next 50 years By 2050, one fourth of the world's population will be African Given the statistics, Africa is the only continent where the youth population is significantly expanding The history of the world's progress reveals that youth have been the frontline agents of every facet of change and the powerhouse of industrial world Africa needs an army of courageous youth who can turn challenges into big-time opportunities in the various fields of life Youth is not a number but a window of opportunity that closes with each passing day It is actually a very important season whose outcome usually determines the rest of a person's life Hence, if an individual doesn't know why he or she is a youth now there is the tendency of abusing and not using it to their advantage The vision of a nation lies in the hands of the youth They are filled with tremendous and towering ambitions It would be a great wastage of human resources if these youths are not allowed to exercise their talent and God-given potentials The entire success of a nation depends on young people but in order for a sustained success it is the government's responsibility to provide the youth with proper facilities for getting equipped with the knowledge of the modern era However, the youth cannot continue waiting for the government forever The current surge of innovations, especially in the tech world has proven that with determination and focus the average youth will be shocked at what he can achieve leveraging on the advantages of the technological industry There is a rising tide of entrepreneurship sweeping across Africa and the young stars are riding it vigorously A growing number of young Africans are not just content waiting around for the proper career bump up the establishment ladder No, their ambitions are much more profound They are setting out to write their destinies establishing remarkable enterprises that will transform Africa and reignite its economies The youth of today are able to determine what kind of investments are made what kind of jobs are created, what type of goods are produced and what knowledge they pass on to others Youth represent the chance to diversify the country's economy towards a more sustainable part harnessing new technology, the internet, new service and new ways of working and communicating with others With the youth comes energy, innovation and optimism if there are supportive environment and opportunities which I believe are being made available by the speed of development across all sectors through digital transformation In summary, it is high time African youth stop seeing life and start giving life They must start questioning the status quo There is the urgent need to start challenging every form of routine that has not contributed in any form to solving social problems If we can think more about our capacity to take more steps and produce results then we will be amazed at how much we can achieve in our time Interesting That's deep That's very close to my heart because I've always been a youth champion because I look like a youth myself It's because I believe that when you talk to children if you both say 12 children from across the world into a room and you have a discussion with them about something as simple as their country's politics or economy it will be quite alarming to see the kind of things that Nigerian youth will be able to talk about while children who are in more developed societies who are empowered at a very young age to start to think for themselves to start to begin to align I can't tell my children what to study for instance in the university they've already made up their minds or they are about to make up their minds and it's based on their strengths, based on their interests I think one of the key things is that the generation that will run the country in the next 5 or 10 years is this generation whether you like it or not you can see what's happening with the tech sector in Nigeria with companies who I've never heard of or heard much of now raising funds $200 million in international world and it just goes to show you that there's so much that the young people have in their minds if you look at generational gaps as well look at how your father or my father related to a mobile phone and look at what things you would do in a mobile phone then look at how I would use it then look at how my child would use it maybe my 17 year old and then look at how a baby was who is probably maybe a toddler who is probably just about one how they can figure out these things it just goes to show you that even without being around in the world for so long the young people have an opportunity to grasp everything that's before them so that generation cannot be ignored and it is very key that they develop from a very early age from when they were in nursery school and primary school not just to be learning Nigeria would like to force knowledge down a lot but more to be able to find out what their strengths are and be able to develop them along those strengths That's good I always say that Nigeria is the richest country in the world when it comes to the abundance of human and material resources we have them in abundance the problem is that Nigeria is at best an incubation for greatness but it's not a habitat it's not a habitat so you see a lot of young people trying to make giant strides with visions and plans but the system keeps frustrating the innovation and creativity in them and that is why brain drain remains a challenge so the problem is that we have potentials and youth leaders of tomorrow but what does the system do the system stifles that youthfulness in you and leaves you with the grand vision of a Canadian passport I'm telling you How did you slide that in there? Plan B? The grand vision of a plan B because once you share 200 million Canadian passports Nigeria will be empty but it's only a matter of time before we all come back we all come back but the other thing that worries someone when we talk about youth empowerment is when you drive around with Lagos and you see this able-bodied young man littering everywhere during the day walking hours you are going to a meeting young men just by the road completely wasting their time and I'm wondering can the government do more can the government give more provide opportunities for these guys to multiply themselves is painful because that's our future right by the side of the road when somebody goes through the university and then the person is the person have graduated gone through all the stress of our education system and now you don't have options and you must have to survive so that's where you have to see those people that they can't die in their house just like a friend said earlier you wanted to die where people will see him so some of these people have to stay outside where they have to find a way to survive where people can see them I think when we talk about the youth have this bittersweet feeling about them because in one breath you have a lot of guys doing great things in the tech industry we have Kuda, we have a lot of big bands online some of us never even imagined we could have online banks even when it first came out I was like where is your head of fiza I need to go and put my money but it's happening but in the same breath you have a couple of youth who do not have that kind of tech exposure but there are still opportunities for them that they are not seeing for example right now we have the we have so many things we can get into and they just need to be more inspired by not the government but a bit ahead of them in age but I just think that a lot is also happening young people also beginning to teach themselves the world of us that's the option that we should be pushing for government to do all that alright is suicide really an option Ejemae asks after the break


Greetings, everyone. Welcome. My name is Minakshi Kaushik. In this video, I will provide a brief overview of two new inter-site services, inter-site Kubernetes service, and inter-site workload optimizer. I will also demo how to use these two services to build a private Kubernetes Cloud in a few clicks. As you can see from IDC info brief, complex applications, half of which are microservices, are rapidly growing everywhere at Edge, Data Center, and Cloud. Customers are looking to quickly build infrastructure, gain complete application and infrastructure visibility, and optimize application performance. The two new services addresses these customer requirements. Inter-site Kubernetes service allows customer to deploy and lifecycle manage production-grade clusters across the globe on-prem or in public Cloud. On-prem, customers have the option of choosing either VMware or avoid a hypervisor tax and use Cisco's Hyperflex application platform. Customer can also deploy Kubernetes clusters on bare metal. Let's take a look at how Inter-site can orchestrate complete infrastructure stack starting from server firmware management to hyperconverged layer and then to Kubernetes layer. This is Cisco's Inter-site UI. Under Profiles, you can orchestrate different layers of the infrastructure stack, such as the server and fabric management, the hyperconverged layer, and the Kubernetes layer. To create a Kubernetes cluster, requires a few simple steps. I have already created a Kubernetes cluster. Let's see how simple it is to walk through the different layers of the infrastructure stack. Kubernetes cluster, the dashboard of my cluster, and I can look at the different nodes in my cluster. To drill down to the infrastructure on which these nodes run, I can successively click the hyperlinks. My infrastructure is running on EMware ESXi, and here are the details of that ESXi host. I can drill down further and look at the details of the host. The host is running on this UCS server, which I can drill down further and look at the details of the server. So I can manage each layer of the stack very easily. Let us now look at Inter-site Workload Optimizer. Inter-site Workload Optimizer bridges gap between application and infrastructure. The application or workloads can be any virtual machine or containers running on-prem or on public cloud. Inter-site Workload Optimizer provides two main functionality. First, it provides complete visibility of application and its underlying infrastructure stack. Second, it provides continuous workload recommendation in three major areas, performance optimization, cost production, and policy compliance by matching application resource demand with infrastructure availability. Let's look at Inter-site Workload Optimizer in action. Inter-site Workload Optimizer creates a graph of relationship between workloads, containers, and virtual machine, and its underlying infrastructure. In my Kubernetes cluster, I only have a cluster on-prem. The Inter-site Workload Optimizer can also look at workloads running on public cloud. Inter-site Workload Optimizer also provides recommendation on the best possible cost for these workloads. For example, I am running a simple book info app and a fully loaded deployment on my Kubernetes cluster. For my fully loaded app and infrastructure VMs in similar situation, the Inter-site Workload Optimizer's performance recommendation is to scale up. I'm running a three-note Kubernetes cluster. The placement action provides efficiency recommendation by recommending to move my container workloads to even out the loads. Similarly, the stop action also provides efficiency recommendation to stop applications with zero traffic. This concludes the brief overview of Inter-site Kubernetes Service and Inter-site Workload Optimizer. Please attend our virtual booth at KubeCon and live sessions. We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you and have a nice day.


Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Professor, Department Chair. This is going to be a rather intricate dissection of the entire portahepatus, the structures of the extra-hepatic portal triad, the gallot strangle, and all the anatomical variations which pose a risk during cholestestectomy. This is the liver which we have completely removed and both of us are standing on the same side, the narration as well as the camera. This is the highly enlarged portahepatus and these three structures that you can see here, these are the structures of the extra-hepatic portal triad. This one is the common bile duct. This is the portal vein and this is the hepatic artery. In life, these three were highly closed and they were enclosed in the hepatic neural ligament which was attached to the margins of the portahepatus. We have completely separated them out. Let's take the structures one by one and see how they are related in the portahepatus. This structure which I have picked up here, this is the hepatic artery. We can see this is the stump of the common hepatic artery coming from the celiac trunk and this is the place where the common hepatic artery makes a curve and at the curve it is giving out this branch which is the gastrodural artery and after that it becomes known as the hepatic artery proper. This hepatic artery proper, it runs in the hepatic neural ligament and we can see it is dividing into these branches. We can see this branch here, this is the left branch of the hepatic artery and this branch, this is the right branch of the hepatic artery. Traditionally we know that the right branch of the hepatic artery goes behind the common hepatic duct. This is the common hepatic duct but in front of the portal vein and that is what it is doing. After that it goes into the liver and we also know that the right branch of the hepatic artery gives rise to the cystic artery. It is doing that. In the region of the callot strangle there are quite a few variations that we can experience in the hepatic artery. So what is this callot strangle? This is the callot strangle which again we have highly exaggerated. It is bounded by the cystic duct on one side, the common hepatic duct on the other side and the liver on the top. So this whole thing is the callot strangle which as I said has been highly exaggerated in this particular dissection. And what are the contents of the callot strangle? It is the cystic artery and cystic lymph nodes of Lund and this is the region that we dissect during colostectomy. So now let's come back to the variations that we can see in the hepatic artery. Normally the right branch of the hepatic artery as we mentioned it passes behind the common hepatic duct and in front of the portal vein. It is doing that. However in 25% of the cases the right branch of the hepatic artery goes in front of the common hepatic duct. Sometimes there can be an accessory or replaced left hepatic artery. Coming from the left gastric artery similarly sometimes there can be an accessory or replaced right hepatic artery which comes from the supramacentric artery. In 91% of cases the right hepatic artery goes in front of the portal vein. This is the portal vein. However in 9% of cases the right hepatic artery goes behind the portal vein. In this case it is following the normal feature. So these are some of the variations that we can see in the hepatic artery. Now let's take the common bile duct and the common hepatic duct. This is the common hepatic duct and we can see it is coming from the port of Hepatitis as the right and the left hepatic ducts. This junction we can have tumor which is known as clatskin tumor which is a special type of cholangiocarcinoma. Common hepatic duct then descends down and it unites with a cystic duct to form the common bile duct. So this is the callot strangle which we mentioned. Normally the cystic duct initially goes almost parallel to the common hepatic duct and then it becomes completely and then it unites to form the common bile duct which then continues down. This cystic duct can also have a lot of variations. It can have what is known as a very low cystic duct. In this case it is almost of that category. It is supposed to have united here instead it is uniting here. So this is a type of low cystic duct. Sometimes we can have a very high cystic duct when the cystic duct unites with the common hepatic duct here as I've shown. Then we can have the cystic duct following what is known as a swerving course. It goes like this behind or in front of the common hepatic duct like this and it unites with the common hepatic duct. Sometimes the cystic duct can have a separate hepatic duct uniting with it separately. Sometimes there can be multiple hepatic ducts coming from the portahepatus. All these variations pose a risk in cholecystectomy. When we are ligating the cystic duct we can accidentally ligate the common hepatic duct with it or we can even ligate the common bile duct with it and can produce a whole host of problems which are collectively known as post cholecystectomy syndrome. Now let's come to the next content of the short strangle that is the cystic artery. In this we can see that it is following a variation. Normally the cystic artery should arise from the right branch of the hepatic artery and we can see it is arising from the right branch. In 75% of cases it should be behind the common hepatic duct. Only in 25% of cases it comes in front of the common hepatic duct and in this case we are seeing it is coming in front of the common hepatic duct and then it enters into the gallbladder. Therefore when we are ligating this during cholecystectomy again we can ensure the common hepatic duct as we can see here. So again we can produce post cholecystectomy syndrome. If by chance we have bleeding from cystic artery during cholecystectomy and we cannot see because the whole area gets filled with blood we can do what is known as a Pringles maneuver where we put our index finger in the epiploid for MN as I've shown here and the thumb in front and we compress the hepatic artery and that's how we stop bleeding here and when we stop bleeding then we can catch the bleeding point and we can ligate it. That procedure can be a lifesaver both for the surgeon as well as for the patient and that is known as the Hogarth Pringle maneuver. So that is the next structure that we see here in the Colour Strangle and the Extrapatic Portal Triad. Now I'm going to lift this biliary system up and I've lifted up the hepatic artery to show the Pustiamo structure in the Extrapatic Portal Triad and that is this one here. This is the portal vein. The portal vein as we know is formed behind the neck of the pancreas by the union of slenic vein and the superior miscentric vein and the portal vein then goes into the port hepatus and this is the portal hepatus portal vein entry and we can see it is dividing into a left branch. This is the left branch of the portal vein and this is the right branch of the portal vein. The left branch of the portal vein goes into the left surgical lobe of the liver and we can see, this is the fissure for the round ligament of liver and the round ligament of liver is this one which was located in the free margin of the Falsiform ligament. Remnant of the Falsiform ligament is seen here And this round ligament of liver is connected to the left branch of the portal vein. And if you see very closely, we may be able to see some small veins accompanying the round ligament of liver. Those are the para-umbilical veins which open into the left branch of the portal vein. In cirrhosis with portal hypertension, these para-umbilical veins become enlarged and they go to the umbilicus and they form what is known as the caput medusa. So these are the structures that we can see in the port a hepatis. So therefore to quickly to recap, this is the common mild duct formed by the union of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct. This is the hepatic artery giving rise to the left branch and the right branch. Right branch giving rise to the cystic artery. This is the portal vein dividing into a left and a right. And these are the structures of the extra hepatic portal triad. And this is the highly enlarged port a hepatis. Before concluding, this is the gallbladder which is in the gallbladder fossa. This is the fissure for the round ligament of liver. This portion of the liver that we see here is the quadrate lobe of the liver. And behind all these things we can see this is the inferior vena kiva. And this is the fissure for the ligamentum venosum. And we can see the remnant of hepatogastric ligament of the lesser momentum which is stuck here. So these are the structures which I wanted to show you in the port a hepatis, extra hepatic portal triad, gallot strangle with all the anatomical variations and the possible risks during cholecystectomy. Thank you very much for watching. Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out. Mr. Kendal Kambrabaj is a camera person. If you have any questions or comments, please put them in the comment section below. Have a nice day.
