We are tasked, by Scottish Minister, to become the lead body in regard to the perspective on historical environment. This process also resulted in 2014, with the publication of Our Place in Time, which set out the Scottish Government strategy for the historical environment. This remains Scotch Government's main statement or planning for the historical environment outside of planning. One of the main tenets of op-it, as it has become known, is y concept of mainstreaming, ensuring the historic environment remains at the heart of a modern dynamic Scotland, and it is embedded within policy making across the Scottish Government. Initially, it was adopted by many Scottish government departments and it came towards the finalisation of the last SRDP programme, which was underpinned by years of previous natural heritage research and mapping. We had a very short window to try to get the historic environment in yn ddweud wneud. Maen nhyn nhw'n bwysigon nhw'n pergyrwm y teimlo fydd ymdiannau cyfieithlo'r cyfrifodol, maen nhw'n cael ddweud ac nid eu cael ffrieithiol gyddon ni'n hefyd.

The story environment on there is clear benefits for the conflict between the different areas of the conflict. Once we provide advice to the UnPUs on benefits to the monument that is added to the waiting, it is a potential for a successful grant application. As we move forward, the ability to sustain mainstreaming has faded, maintaining a dialogue with and the willingness of Scottish Government departments to continue to consider the historic environment is now proving quite challenging to say the least. Nevertheless, as we move towards a new agricultural scheme, there's a fresh opportunity to work with colleagues who will cross the regular spectrum and present new evidence of the impacts that land uses have on the historic environment and on the success or otherwise of the existing programme in order to inform future decision making. Obtaining data from the grant awarding departments on which schemes we have coveted on and which our advice has been taken on board has also proved problematic. However, we can continue to provide data on the changing condition of scheduled monuments. This is largely achieved through our field officer programme. This programme has been operating since 1999 to be called a monument awarding programme, meaning that we have over 20 years of data background. Our aspiration is to visit every monument over a five-to-ten-year cycle and it's prioritised on risk when increasing it specifically where we think monuments may have been affected by their agricultural and environment schemes. As well as a written assessment, each monument is given a score out of five based on condition and risk and these figures allow us to monitor change over time and the success or otherwise of the management regimes. Data on its success is still of the current scheme being collated, but a number of trends are becoming apparent. Overall, we are witnessing a decline in the condition of 21% of our monuments. This is particularly pronounced in standing military buildings, especially those in the south-west of Scotland, and standing buildings proven particularly vulnerable to climate change and increased wetness, which is affecting very much that part of Scotland. Forestry has also proven to be one of the greatest residue monuments of all kinds. Crop marks don't seem particularly under threat, but this is likely to be a cause of our methodologies. Over the last few years, we have developed new sources of data which we hope will inform future programmes on-going aerial photography over many years is also allowing us to begin to demonstrate the impact of soil erosion, over scheduled crop marks, as well as helping us gain access to information about well-head condition on standing military monuments. It reminds us that our historic land use assessment for the whole of Scotland has taken quite a long time for us to get there. This maps relics and historic landscape types and allows us to monitor the contribution to modern landscapes. This data is also very useful in a number of other ways. HLA allows us to quantify the relic resource and to say something about its distribution and current management. Here we can see the distribution of Roman military land use, and we can quantify it, and therefore we can monitor it. We know how these locations have been managed, so we can say with a certain amount of confidence that, in this example, over three quarters of this resource is under active cultivation within modern, modern, retal and ear fields. We can also compare this present and past mapping of land use to make observations about how land use has changed. Comparing HLA with Ordnance Survey map data from the 1930s, we can see an expansion of places like Burnferman, this urban expansion most likely influenced by the building of the fourth road bridge in the 1960s, and here we can see the impact of over 80 years of forestry policy in the south-west of Scotland. Using Ordnance data and forestry and energy mapping, automated processes have been developed to highlight possible areas of land use change. These areas are then peer reviewed by members of the HLA team. The raves to update the HLA of a three-year cycle enable us to give statistics and a bit of a change to relevant landscape types. The mapping update is complemented by another monitoring photography programme, where a selection of land use locations will have aerial and ground photography taken during each updated cycle. The image to grow a set of case studies that can be used to visualise future discussions and land use change. This is what HES is carrying out in partnership with SNH of Scottish Natural Heritage, which is our sister or brother body who deal with the natural heritage. In addition SNH have been given access to the HES sites database, CANMO, to help enable them to produce case studies of past land use change using HES's collection of data of historical photography. One of the areas we have had a particular success over the last few years is on the front of landscapes, particularly in partnership with SNH and assisted by the HLA data. This takes its lead from the Scottish Government's national planning framework and the recently published Landscape and the Historic Environment Conference statement, which both take the lead from the European Landscape Convention, which is headed to be resisted by the Scottish politics. Both take quite a progressive approach and recognise both the historic and natural environments contribution to landscapes and their communities. We've used this as well to help revise and ensure the historic environment is impeded into the 366th Landscape Heritage Types of Scotland, which has allowed us to contribute to landscape characterisation, which also informs planning and land use decisions. The internist allows us to take a fresh look at existing landscape designations and policies, which have worked into existing landscape designations and policies, which all have the hooks for considering the historic environment, for which today have been largely ignored. That's largely our fault as an organisation, but I think that's quite a positive change. This is also encouraging rural research to think about how to embed the historic environment into ecosystem services and approaches to natural capital. For us, this has never really proved a natural fit, but it can be a few tentative steps. You'll see that this is by the Houghton Institute, rather than by ourselves. Developing various different kinds of algorithms to think about a time depth and a concentration of different kinds of designations. The results are a bit skewed, but it's a nice first step and I think it's positive in the fact that we can bring it together. We've got a positive dialogue and build on from there. I'm looking forward to Vince's talk about how other areas can bring that forward. Thanks very much.


Welcome to another week of Watch It Weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth, part of the Stamping Gel Creative Team, and I wanted to show you and maybe give you a refresher on the Stamparatus today. Stampin' Up carries a stamp positioner for perfect placement for your stamps and has for a couple of years now, but I often forget about it. It's just under $50, which is an amazing price point, and you can use it for so many things. I love it when we mass produce things here in the office. Sometimes we'll make 100 cards, and stamping the same image over and over and over can get monotonous or frustrating if you can't get it straight, but with the Stamparatus it can take all of those issues away. I also know that we have customers who have arthritis in their hands or wrists, and using the plate for the Stamparatus is a lot easier than using a smaller block. So there's a lot of great benefits to it, but I forget that there's a lot of techniques that you can use with the Stamparatus that are a little bit harder to replicate when you don't have the positioner there. When I saw the Desert Details Bundle that is available in the upcoming mini catalog that comes out in January, I thought that these two stamps here would work very well using the hinge step technique from the Stamparatus. When I first started creating with this suite of products, I started off pretty safe and simple. I used Petal Pink and I used Soft Succulent, such a great color combination, and came up with this. I moved on to add the Cage and Craze, which I love. This is probably one of my favorite cards, and I love these dies that are featured in the die set. They layer right together. So cute. And these sequins come in different sizes. They're really, really fun. And you can see that pop back there of that Dry Brush DSP, so, so pretty. Moved on to this one, again featuring those dies and the Dry Brush DSP. That is just beautiful. But then I got to where I wanted to use these longer stamps, and I started stamping them by hand and I couldn't get them straight. I don't know if you guys are straight stampers. Maybe you are all the time. But I, for the life of me, can't cut paper straight or stamp very straight. So when it comes to the Stamparatus, it's such a good tool for me because I lack those skills naturally. So I took these stamps. We have one that's a little bit larger. This one measures just about three quarters of an inch, and this one measures about three eighths of an inch, just for your reference, okay? So I took those stamps, and I've got my Stamparatus here. Now your Stamparatus will come with some magnets to hold your paper in place. It comes with two plates. I'm just going to use one today, so I'm going to pull this one out. They come out really easy, super easy to use. And I'm just going to use the one to the left, okay? I'm going to put my piece of cardstock on here. I just have some basic white cardstock. And this is four by five and a quarter, just a card front size. I'm going to put this on here, and using the Stamparatus grid paper makes it really, really easy to line up your cardstock where you want it. And then that magnet's just going to hold my paper right in place, okay? I'm going to position my clean stamp on my card where I want it to go. Okay, and I'm going to use, I like using my little grid lines to make sure that everything is very straight, because again, that's what this whole thing is about, is being that you can make it very, very straight. I'm going to pick up my stamp just by pushing that plate down, and I've got it all ready to go, okay? I'm going to start by stamping this in Cajun craze.  Amazing, now I'm going to pull out my plate, and I'm going to position it down one hinge, okay?  You can do this all the way down your cardstock. Okay, so I'm just going to stamp those two for reference, and then I'm going to show you how I lined up and did my smaller stamp. And then I'll show you the completed product. I'm going to reposition my plate back in the top hinge, and I'm going to swap out this stamp for my smaller one. Here's another design, this is kind of that Southwestern look, right? I'm going to try not to get my head in the video too much. And I'm going to just position it evenly in between my other two stamped images. I'm going to pick it up, and this time I'm going to use soft succulent ink. And ink up that image, and pull it over. And press it down. And you'll get it in the middle, and then hinge step that, down one. Ink it up again, press it down, and there you go. And you can repeat that pattern all the way down until you get something that looks like this. So fun. I can tell you that if I tried to stamp this by hand just using clear blocks, I would throw away a million of these until I got it straight, and just the way I liked it. But the stamp rather saved me so much time and energy, and I was able to create such a fun card. I love that. Let me show you a couple little ideas, though, that I had. So I told you, this stamp measures about three-quarters of an inch. And so I was able to position and do two different colors all the way down, and you get almost like a designer series paper quality there. It made me think that you probably have some stamps in your collection that are about that same width that it would work that you could do this hinge step with. But I would say you're about three-quarters of an inch is your limit, because that is next to each other just like that. Okay, I did it with the three-eighth inch one in two different colors, and I thought that turned out really cute, too. So I think three-quarters down you probably could use this little hinge step technique and make a bunch of different designs. Let me show you another sample. I created using this technique. I loved how this one turned out. It's probably my favorite from the collection. I made it into a gift hard holder. So on the back, I just took some of that dry brush metallic designer series paper and created a little fold there that you could put a gift card in. And I did the hinge step technique on this piece of designer series paper with some different colors there and cut out a circle. And you are sunshine I just made from the different settings in the stamp set. So I hope that this has refreshed your mind or brought to your mind the Stamperatus again. We've had it a couple of years and it's such a great product. Sometimes we just forget to pull it out and play with it. I bet there's some things in your collection that you could use already, but if you're looking for something new, this delicate desert suite of products works with it beautifully. I hope you've enjoyed this video and I hope you'll join us next week for another Watch and Weekly List.


Would you like to have consistent income in your business? Having had consistent income in my business for more than 10 years now, I can tell you that the so-called secret is consistent, valuable, output. So again, if you want consistent income, you need consistent, valuable output. It sounds simple. Let me explain each word because it's important. Let me start with the third word because then it'll make more sense. Output? What is it? Output is when you have something that is interacting with other people, something that you create, that you then bring it out and have it interact with other people. Otherwise, you're just in the planning or creating stage. That's not output. That's just planning or creating. So for example, for 10 years now, more than 10 years, every month I have something for my audience to buy. It's some kind of product, whether it's something I've created or something that's old that I'm promoting again. So every month I have some output for them to either buy or to give me feedback on. And when it comes to content, that's output as well. And if you follow my channel, you know that I have several videos a week that goes out. Consistent output. Now, what about valuable? That's the second word, right? If you want income, you have to remember that your income comes from other people's spending. So value is not what you think is valuable. You might be spending months creating something that you think is valuable, but you will never know until people actually get to interact with it and you get to watch whether they're excited by it or they don't get it. OK, so valuable is valuable to your audience, especially to your potential or your ideal clients. So valuable means that you need for them to interact with, for them to tell you whether it's valuable. And then finally, the first word was consistent, which as I've said, if you don't have consistent, valuable output, like every week I have content that sometimes it's valuable, you let me know when the things are valuable because I can tell by the likes and the comments and the shares. Then by my observation of what's valuable, I can then take it farther. The more consistent I am with content and the more I observe what's valuable to you, the more I understand what value means to you, which means then I can create more valuable output going forward. So this is why it's so important to have consistent, valuable output if you want consistent income. My name is George Cow, authentic business coach. I love talking about these kinds of things for about building an authentic business and authentic marketing. So if you like this video, you probably like my other ones. I'll see you in the next video. Take care.


Hi friends and welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm back kind of. I'm back in moderation. I am slowly getting back to filming videos as I continue to heal from my recent plastic surgery. I still find myself to be very tired and very fatigued. So my content will still be a little bit more sporadic, but I'm trying to get back to filming videos a little more regularly. I've missed you guys and I know that you guys have really, really missed my videos and I need to get back to normal life as much as possible while I'm still recovering from my plastic surgery. Speaking of plastic surgery, the vlog will be up on Sunday. I know a lot of you are really excited to see that plastic surgery vlog. So stay tuned, it is coming your way this Sunday. I will also have a grocery haul for you tomorrow. I plan on doing a meal prep, providing I feel well and that video will go live on Monday. And of course, I'd love to film what I eat in a day and kind of get back to as much of my regular content as I can. But I thought what better way to return from plastic surgery besides with the weigh-in. And I wanted to share with you guys what does my weight look like after plastic surgery? With all of the swelling, all of the torment to my body, what does my weight look like? I actually have weighed myself every day since returning from Mexico for plastic surgery. So I want to share with you guys kind of what that actually has looked like as the days have went on and where I am weight-wise today, Friday. And then of course I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about what my week has been like and of course talk to you about this week's WW Workshop topic.  Subscribe if you're not because I typically upload five videos every single week. Turn your bell on so you never miss a future video. Down in the description box, I will link nutrition coaching. I offer personalized to you macros and calories. This is how I've lost almost 140 pounds as well as one-on-one coaching if you would like to chat with me directly. Links, discounts to my favorite things. And of course come join our Facebook group. We would love to have you. So let's talk about my week since returning home. Let's talk about my weight and the Weight Watchers Workshop topic. Turn home from plastic surgery on Monday. Now I spent four days post-op in a recovery house in Mexico, which was the best decision I could have ever made. Much better than a hotel. I actually had 24-hour care with nurses that administered my medication. They actually prepared all of our food for us, got us comfortable and were there if we had any complications or needed anything. So that was definitely a good choice on my part, not to mention it allowed me to recover just a little bit before actually having to fly home. Now it was a rough recovery.  You'll see the entire process in Sunday's video. So I don't wanna go too in-depth into it in this week's weigh-in. But let me just tell you that there were parts of the plastic surgery that were better than I expected and there were parts of the plastic surgery that were much harder than I expected. And I anticipate this to be a pretty long road to recovery. This week has been a little bit rough just with soreness and being a little bit uncomfortable both with my back and with my breast augmentation and implants and just navigating how to deal with post-op after plastic surgery. I came home with my drains which is something that I didn't want to do which I talk about that in that plastic surgery vlog as well. So this week has been just a week of readjusting. I can't tell you how happy I am to be home. I've actually had to sleep on the couch since returning home. It's just not comfortable in my bed. I have to be able to be propped up but also kind of lean forward and lean back throughout the night to allow myself to get comfortable with the incision across my back. So it's just been, I would say honestly, just a week of adjustment. But to be honest, I'm ready to get back to normal life as much as possible. Unfortunately, I'm not able to drive for a couple of weeks. I'm not able to be in the heat or cook for a couple of weeks. So that's also been another piece of adjusting. But that's what weight loss journeys and life is all about. It's not just smooth sailing. There's ups and there's downs and life throws, curveballs at us and we have to learn how to navigate that. And I am the epitome this last week of having to learn how to navigate that. And you know that I'm an avid workout person. I work out six days a week and I can't work out at all from anywhere from about four to eight weeks just depending on how my healing goes. So navigating food and what food choices to make and how to set that up so that I can maintain my weight during recovery. I also don't wanna lose all my lean muscles. So focusing on protein. So let me just tell you it has been definitely a week of discovery. I was thinking about filming a post-op video for you letting you know kind of what to expect post-op plastic surgery. What were some of the things I struggled with? What did my weight look like? What did my mental health look like? Let me know if you guys would be interested in such a video. And if you are, I would definitely be here to film it for you and share my total post-op experience with you as well. When I got home, I had to make sure that I had everything I needed in place for recovery. I cannot lift my hands above my shoulders. So I wear a lot of zip-up types of jackets and sweatshirts since I can't put actual shirts over my head and I need to have really good supportive bras in place as well. I have to actually wear a post-op garment for about a month and then I still need to have very, very supportive bras for about six months after surgery just to make sure that everything heals correctly with my breast implants as well as my breast reconstruction. It is a long process of healing six to nine months before they actually look and feel the way that they should. You guys know that I love Nador. I have bought Nador products so many times. I have so many of their stick-on bras. I have quite a few of their regular bras. So I decided to place an order on the website to set myself up with some really good quality bras for once I'm able to take off the actual support garment. So I actually picked up three bras. Well, actually one of them is a bra and panty set and then two additional bras as well. So I wanted to share them with you because if you're like me and you either have your breasts maybe not looking the way that they did prior to losing so much weight or you had plastic surgery on them and you want to support them or you just want to support your breasts so that they don't fall based on gravity. Nador bras are some of the best. They are my favorite bras. Like I said, I purchased from them several times in the past. So I knew when I wanted new bras to add to my collection that Nador was the way to go. I love how all of their bras come in these little zipper pouches. You can reuse these as I always say I like to take these for travel or to put what bathing suits in. A lot of times I'll put like dirty socks and underwear in these and then I can put them into my suitcase kind of keep them in one area. You could even store your bras in these. I actually store my Nador stick on bras in the little bags. So first is the two piece set. So this is the lace pushup wireless bra set. I don't do wires. I've actually talked about that before. Me and wired bras do not get along. So I wanted something that would give me support, would give me some pushup, but didn't have a wire. And I thought this was probably one of the most beautiful bras that I've ever seen. I actually really appreciate the more full coverage back. Like me, if your back is an issue for you, this is going to offer a little bit more full coverage. And also it's going to kind of keep everything in place. And the two piece set actually came with matching panties. Now these are full panties. So these are not thong, these are full panties. But you actually get the matching bra and panty set. So you actually receive the bra and the underwear. It is $59.99 before any discounts. And I do have a discount code for you. Comes in three colors, sizes, medium large and extra large. I have mine in a large and it is perfect. The underwear are very comfortable. They actually have this band at the top that keeps them up, which I appreciate. And this bra, this bra is not only beautiful, supportive, but is very, very comfortable. This was definitely a great choice.  And I wanted a bra that was a little bit more long line. Again, for that added support. And this is the lace breathable pushup bra. Again, no wires. The inside of it is actually nude. The pads are removable. I like a good padding in a bra for the most part. And this one, the padding is very comfortable. I love the kind of black lace overlay over the actual nude inside. This is currently on sale on their website for about $33 before any discounts. It comes in three color sizes, medium through extra, extra large. I have mine in black, in large, and I love this. Again, it is so soft, so comfortable. I love the little scalloped design at the base of the bra. It's going to offer a lot of support. It's cute, which I appreciate. And the no wires is definitely something I'm looking for. And again, we have a pretty full coverage back. And then lastly, I wanted a sports bra. Once I'm able to work out or even start walking again, I wanted a flexible sports bra that offered support. And this is the flexible wireless sports bra. It's about $28 before any discounts. This particular sports bra does have padding. It is removable padding. It is a long line sports bra, which I very much appreciate. I love how thick the shoulder straps are so that it offers support, but doesn't dig into the shoulders. And then we are talking like full, full coverage back. Again, lots of support in something without wires. It comes in two color sizes, small through extra large. I have mine in a large, in the black. It fits me perfectly. And this is literally the most buttery soft material I've ever felt in a sports bra. And again, I love that there is padding. And it is removable. If you are not a padding lover, you can definitely remove the pads. But I wanted that buttery soft, comfortable, full coverage, supportive sports bra. Because as soon as I'm able to walk again, like go outside and walk regularly, I plan on living in this sports bra. So as always, I love everything that I picked up from the door. I will link all three of the pieces that I bought down below with a discount code for you. Definitely check out their website. I love their stick on bras as well. They offer amazing support. They're reusable, easy to store, and great as we move into summer where we're wearing a lot of halter tops, spaghetti strap tank tops, tube tops, things that we don't want a bra showing.  So everything from the door will be linked down below for you. So before I talk about my actual weigh-in and kind of navigate you through the last few days of weighing in, let's talk about this week's workshop topic. And this is how to start activity. I have a lot of coaching clients that say, I am way too out of shape to exercise. I don't want to exercise. I don't think I can exercise. There are baby steps and things you can do to gradually move into moving your body a little bit more. This doesn't mean that you have to go to the gym at all. If you didn't know walking is the best exercise for weight loss. So here's a few things to try. Prep your mindset. Tell yourself, just because I think I'm too out of shape to be active doesn't make it true. I can still move around. Pick an activity. Brainstorm a few that seem doable and interesting to you, then choose one. Maybe it's walking, Zumba, stretching, Pilates, or cycling. Plan your moves, then do it. Least each step involved in doing the activity, think small and simple to start. Number one, try a five minute Zumba YouTube video to see if you like it. Number two, build up to a 15 minute session. Number three, sign up for a class and put your gym bag in the car the night before. Number four, at least the first half of a class to see how you feel. And lastly, complete that 45 minute class. Then you want to kind of pause and reflect. After mastering the first move on your list, recognize that you can be and are now active. Take that, naysayer thoughts, then keep going. The big thing with exercise is finding something you enjoy. You're not going to stick with any type of exercise that you don't enjoy. I love going to boot camp. I love lifting weights in the gym. I love walking, so that's the exercise that I choose. But I will tell you that when I was over 300 pounds, all I could do was take a 15 or 20 minute walk. I still enjoyed walking, but that was what my body was able to do at that time. As I continued to move my body, as I watched my nutrition as the weight came off, I was able to move a little bit more. So when it comes to activity, you don't have to go ahead first. Take baby steps slow and steady into activity. You don't want to hurt yourself either. You want to make sure that you have proper form, that you're learning proper techniques. Maybe taking a class is a good way to start so that you have the instructor there to correct your form and properly introduce you to that type of exercise. Start small and work your way up. Maybe you start with a 10 minute walk, and then next week it's a 15 minute walk, then a 20, then a 25, then a 30. And before you know it, you'll be walking up to an hour. Include exercise into your daily plan. Make sure that it's built into your schedule. I go to work out every single morning. It's just what I do or what I did prior to surgery and what I'll be doing as soon as I'm able.  It was just built into my schedule. And that's the best way to make whatever exercise you're choosing, something that you're consistently doing and sticking with. I also wanna share with you three fast facts from Weight Watchers. Number one, all movement counts in improving health and some is better than none. Number two, if you believe your fitness level can change over time, you're more likely to be active. And number three, breaking down activity goals into small doable steps can increase the likelihood that you'll start to be active and keep it up. It's all about baby steps. Introducing activity little by little. Find something you love, find something you enjoy because that's what you'll actually stick with. And remember, you don't have to go in both feet first, baby steps. Another really great topic from Weight Watchers, I have to say, I love that they are talking about easing into things on your weight loss journey and not feeling like you have to do everything to be successful. Let's talk about my weigh-in post-op. So I anticipated coming home and being up on the scale. I mean, I am swollen.  My whole body is swollen. My back, my abdomen, my arms were even swollen a first couple of days after my surgery. I wore compression socks up to the knee so my thighs were swollen. So I anticipated a weight gain. And actually when I got home and stepped on the scale, I was up about five pounds, which actually was a lot less than I expected considering how swollen I am and what my body has been through. There's inflammation, there's swelling, there's trauma to the body. And they say that typically 10 to 15 pounds post-op weight gain is normal. So I was happy to see that when I got home I was only up about five pounds. Now I've been mindful of what I've been eating since returning home, really focusing on protein because I know that that's going to help me maintain my lean muscle while I'm not able to exercise but also help keep me full and satisfied and heal my body. Protein is great for healing after surgery. As the week progressed, my weight pretty much stayed the same. I would spike up a few ounces here and there but I always stayed about five pounds heavier than when I left. And actually when I stepped on the scale today I'm up 4.6 pounds. So down a little bit, down about point four from when I actually returned home. And I anticipate to see the scale up for quite a while while the swelling is still here. And you have to remember that they took skin off my back about one and a half to two pounds but then they put implants in which is going to balance out any weight loss from surgery. And then with all of the swelling and inflammation I anticipate the scale to be up for quite a while at least while things settle out. But I'll tell you that I don't care. It doesn't affect me whatsoever because I know the reasoning behind the jump on the scale. And I'm still really happy with my body, happy with my results from plastic surgery so far. It's going to be six months or more before I actually see the true results of my plastic surgery. I plan of course on updating you guys through the entire recovery process. I'll be sharing some pictures on both my Facebook group and Instagram. So make sure you follow me on Instagram and you're part of my Facebook group. And of course, let me know if you'd be interested in that video about post-op experience and like the highs and lows and what to expect. And of course, stay tuned for Sunday's vlog. It's a long one.

And now, great moments in unintended consequences. Part one, driving days. The year, 1989. The problem, terrible air quality in Mexico City. The solution, prohibit one out of five cars from driving each weekday based on their license plate numbers to keep traffic down and improve air quality. Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong? Citizens got around the ban by buying a second car. Often cheaper, older and less efficient. Having more crappier cars in circulation failed to fix the problem. And according to a number of studies, air pollution actually increased after the restrictions were imposed. But not to worry, politicians saw the error of their ways and in 2008, expanded the program to Saturdays. Yes, really. Part two, boat taxes. The year, 1773. The problem, Britain needs money. The solution, collects port and lighthouse fees on merchant ships based on their length and width. Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong? Shockingly for the British, people don't like paying taxes. Since ships were charged by width and length, but not depth, shipbuilders maximized cargo capacity while minimizing taxes by building deep, sluggish, flat bottom, flat-sided vessels. A recipe for instability. So while Britain's Navy was ruling the seas, their unsightly and unmanageable merchant ships were a laughing stock. But on the plus side, the tax man can't reach you on the bottom of the ocean. Part three, flying the empty skies. The year, 2020. The problem, a global pandemic straining the American airline industry. The solution, a $60 billion bailout to rescue airlines and maintain continuity of service. Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong? With concerns over COVID, air passenger rates plummeted as much as 95%. But since airlines were mandated to maintain a minimum level of service to qualify for the emergency government funding, airlines were forced to continue flying planes, even if there was no one on board. Voila! American skies were quickly filled with ghost flights. Nearly empty planes crisscrossing the country so the industry could qualify for billions of taxpayer funds. Jet fuel wasn't the only thing being wasted. Great moments and unintended consequences. Good intentions, bad results.


You ready? Yeah, we ready. Let's go. All right.  You feel it? You feel it? All right. What's good, you two? This is your boy Chihuahua, back with y'all again with another video.

Every time I drop some heat. Without further ado, we're gonna jump into the video, but first, I want to introduce y'all to my little cousin, Poo, man. Man, best y'all gonna follow me. It gonna be down below, and we're gonna get straight into him hopefully. You feel me? All right. In today's video, man, I will be teaching Poo how to make a cartoon head, so they jump right into it, man. I should give you the chair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta give me the chair if I'm teaching you. First time we gonna do, we got a jazz culture.  Yeah, we're live, man. Got jazz to put you in. We just gonna focus on his head. Yeah. So that's the only thing you gotta worry about. Try to overpass it down so you can chase on top of it, but see. And then, you wanna come right here. I'm gonna set the pressure to the pin. Three. We're gonna change this number to three. And we're gonna test draw right here on the side with your pen.  Let me see. Let me see. You got the uh... There we are. Now one thing you need to realize, the harder you press down, the line to get thick. And try not to press the buttons that's on the pin. But yeah, the harder you press, it'll get dark. And then the lighter you press, it'll get thin. So I hope that I need to make it hot dark, like dark. Just higher where you feel. And then what you do is, you pick something you wanna trace first. So if I was you, I would trace like the line right here. And then close it out. Try to trace that out. I'm gonna tell y'all, man, I'm gonna trace whatever you call me. I can do this at school later. See, I'm gonna start right here.


The South's deputy national chairman of the People's Democratic Party, Yemi Akimomi, has taken over the affairs of the party following the restraining order issued against the national chairman Uche Secundus. He addressed a press briefing attended by PLOS TV Africa's Jacinta Obuquo in Lagos. The recognized leader of the People's Democratic Party, Uche Secundus, is fighting the battle of his political career. It's culminated in Monday's order given by Justice Okobule Wasamo of the state high court sitting in river state, suspending him as the party's chairman. But that isn't the end of the PDP's leadership crisis, as Secundus deputy Yemi Akimomi has announced himself as the party's new chairman. He addressed a news conference at the Motala Muhammad Airport on his way to Abuja. Section 5, bracket 3, B of the constitution of the PDP, the people that power me to somo and preside over party meeting in the absence of national chairman, in the absence of national chairman. Two, our attention has been drawn to yesterday evening court order, which purportedly restrained our national chairman, Uche Secundus, from somoing presiding over meetings of the national organ of the party. It's normal making. In the ongoing circumstance, as the deputy national chairman, which is number one of the People's Democratic Party, after due consultation and in the exercise of our side power here by DIMEFITS and proper to postpone the national working committee meeting earlier said for today, the further notice. When asked if he blames Secundus for the development in the party and whether it will affect the PDP's chances at the 2023 election, this is what he had to say. I don't, I'm not from the culture that you don't blame your boss. Secundus is my boss, I don't blame him and I'm not their self, I don't know what's happened here. When I say somoid is a chairman, the people who are working, they are lining up here permanently. So as a chairman, as the boss of the party, they are just to make a point and to direct our fears. We are not to do the work. People doing the work, they are here. So it will not affect them in any form. Here before the court ruling, pro-Secondus members led by the chairman of the PDP Governor's Forum and Sokoto State Governor Amino Tambuwal insisted that Secundus should be allowed to end his tenure.

Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be doing the Stephen King book tag. Created by Tamika from Library of Tones, I'll have her links in the description box. She also tagged me to do this so thank you so much. I'm the Stephen King, a highly praised, a highly praised author that you believe deserves the hype. I have Colleen Hoover which here's the thing I love the book like most of the books I've read by her I've loved. I think she's really talented especially at new adult and her stories and her twists are just so well thought out and so like well done most of the time. But the only thing is I don't like all her books. I don't think all her books deserve the hype. Like November 9 wasn't my thing but most of her books I've loved. Like Ugly Loves like one of my favorites from her. Confess is really good. It Ends With Us is really good. Maybe someday was okay but yeah Colleen Hoover deserves I think the hype that she gets as a new adult author. It's a massive book that has been on your TBR pile for a while so this is over 600 pages. For this I actually have a King book. Am I supposed to do this? Like am I supposed to choose a King book? Probably not. But that is The Stand which I get comments on every day to read this. I really want to guys.  Now it's next the next thing you guys are all telling me to do is read The Stand. I will I promise. Sorry if the camera angle moved I had to like get my cat out because he wanted to leave and then he was going to cause chaos because there's a jar of marbles on my shelf and he loves to knock it over so he was starting to do that so I just let him leave but when I was saying about The Stand was I was supposed to read it for grade 10 for my report because I did an 18 King book in grade 8 and grade 9 hoping to do it in grade 10 but we didn't get to choose our book unfortunately but I'm still really excited to read this. I've heard amazing things. This is a lot of people's favorites next to it so I do want to get to it soon. Number three is Carrie a classic that everyone has read except for you. So for this I have a 1984 by George Orwell. I actually have I think two or three copies. Like no it's the animal from that I own like three copies of and I haven't read it so I don't understand. Book buying problems I don't know. 1984 I've heard this is really good. It's a lot of people's favorites and I heard it's good to read now because I don't know someone with Donald Trump being president and like this book is a 20th century dystopian study of political mind control paranoia and best surveillance. Oh okay so people are comparing it to what's going on in the US right now which is interesting and I do want to read this one. I just haven't gotten around to it. I don't I haven't really had like the ambition to pick it up. I don't know. I might do like a buddy read this with someone because I think that'd be cool. Four is a scary book on your TBR pile. Oh the book for this was Misery Night Film by Marisha Pessil which I've owned this for a while. I found it in a Walmart bar and made it for five books. I grabbed this so fast but it's a pretty hyped up adult book. It's supposed to be really amazing and I really love the look of it which I know probably shouldn't say that but I love the end pages. They just speak to me and this book is also full of like case files and studies and I know what it's about. Like I think it's about this girl and then oh yeah it's about this girl and her death is like ruled a suicide but then like maybe it's not and then like I think she was like a horror filmmaker's daughter but died. Something like that. I don't know.  Gerald's Game. A book that is about to be adapted into a film or a tv show that you still need to read. I have Wonder by RJ Palacio. I've wanted to read this for such a long time now and when I finally got around to buying it I thought I'd get it right away and then it just sat there like oh I have my receipt. Let's see when I bought this.  Um January 14th 2017. Oh dear it's October. Um but the movie's coming out soon-ish I think. I saw the new movie cover date that the movie's supposed to come out in Canada and the US I guess. I want to read it before the movie. 11, 22, 63. A book with historical elements that you're excited for. I have The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee. All I know about this is it's a big extravagant trip.  Like Manuel Romances are my fave so I'm there. Next is Tag Some People. So for this I'm going to be tagging Rachel from Rachel Luby Atkin. I know she's on like a booktube hiatus at the moment due to like university work and stuff like that so when you're back Rachel do this tag. I also have Jay from the Awkward Bookworm. I'm going to have Olivia from iLivvy4Books. I know she's written some king so you need to do this and also the books it looks so Becca and Mike I also tag you guys. That was my video I really hope you guys enjoyed this. Make sure to check out the creator Tamika from Library of Tomes in the description box and thank you so much to her for tagging me and I'll see you all very soon with a new video and if you're new here be sure to click the subscribe button and click the notification bell to be updated for when I post new videos and all that sort of stuff and I'll see you all very soon with a new video. Bye!


Live from San Diego, California, it's theCUBE. Covering Cisco Live US 2019. Brought to you by Cisco and its ecosystem partners. Welcome back, it's theCUBE here at Cisco Live, San Diego 2019, I'm Stu Miniman, my co-host is Dave Vellante. First I want to welcome back Kustub Das, KD who is the Vice President of Product Management with Cisco Compute, we talked with him a lot about HyperFlex Anywhere in Barcelona. I want to welcome to the program a first time guest, Laura Crohn who's the Vice President of Sales and Marketing Group in NSG Sales and Marketing at Intel. Laura, thanks so much for joining us. All right, so since KD's been on our program, let's start with you. We know, we've watched Cisco UCS and that Compute since it rolled out, gosh, about a decade ago now and Intel always up on stage with Cisco talking about the latest enhancements. Everywhere I go this year, people are talking about Optane and how technologies like NVMe are baking into the environment, storage class memories coming there. So let's start with Intel, what's happening in your world and your activities here at Cisco Live. Great, so I'm glad to hear you've heard a lot about Optane because I have some marketing in my organization. So Optane is the first new memory architecture in over 25 years and it is different than NAND, right? It is, you can write data to the silicon that is programs faster and has greater endurance. So when you think of Optane, it's fast like DRAM but it's persistent like NAND, 3D NAND. And it has some industry leading combinations of capabilities such as high throughput, high endurance, high quality of service and low latency. And for a storage device, what could be better than having fast performance and high consistency? Laura, as you said, yeah, no worry. But 25 years since this move, I remember when I started working with Dave, it was how do we get out of the horrible scuzzy stack is what we had lived on for decades there. And finally now it feels like we're coming through the clearing and there's just going to be wave after wave of new technologies that are free to get us high performance, low latency and the like. Yeah, and I think the other big part of that, which is part of Cisco's HyperFlex All NVMe is the NVMe standard. So we've lived in a world of legacy SATA controllers which created a lot of bottlenecks in the performance. Now that the industry is moving to NVMe, that even opens up it more. And so as we were developing Optane, we knew we had to go move the industry to a new protocol. Otherwise that pairing was not going to be very successful. All right, so Katie, all NVMe, tell us more. So we come here and we talk about all the cool innovations we do within the company. And then sometimes we come here and we talk about all the cool innovation we do with our partners, our technology partners. And Intel's been a fantastic technology partner, obviously being in the server business. You've got a partner with Intel and we've really co-innovated across the walls of two organizations to bring this to life, right? So Cisco HCI Hyperflex is one of the products we've talked about in the past. Hyperflex, all NVMe, which uses Intel's Optane technology as well as Intel's 3D NAND, all NVMe devices to power really the fastest workloads that customers want to put on this device. So you talked about free. NVMe pricing is getting to a point where it's become that much more accessible to use these for powering databases, for powering those workloads that require that latency, characteristics that require those IOPS. And that's what we've enabled with Cisco Hyperflex collaborating with Intel's NVMe portfolio. I remember when I started in the business, somebody was sharing with me to educate me on that it had a pyramid. And I said, think of the pyramid as a storage hierarchy. And at the top of it was actually an Intel solid state device, which back then it was not, it was volatile, right? So you had to put backup power supplies on it. So, but any rate, and then with all this memory architecture coming in flash storage, people have been saying, well, it's going to flatten that pyramid. But now with Optane, you're seeing the reemergence of that pyramid. So help us understand sort of where it fits from a supplier standpoint, and OEM, and ultimately the customer. Because if I understand it, so Optane is faster than NAND, but it's going to be more expensive, but it's slower than DRAM, but it's cheaper, right? So where does it fit? What are the use cases? Where does it fit in that hierarchy? Maybe you could help us understand. So if you think about the hierarchy, at the very top is DRAM, which is going to be your fastest, lowest latency product. But right below that is Optane persistent memory, the DIMS, and you get greater density, because that's one of the challenges with DRAM is they're not dense enough, nor are they affordable enough, right? And so you get, that creates a new tier in the storage hierarchy. Go below that and you have Optane SSDs, which bring even more density. So we go up to a 1.5 terabyte in Optane SSD, and you that now get performance for your storage and memory expansion, then you have 3D NAND, and then even below that, you have 3D NAND QLC, which gives you cost effective, high density capacity, and then below that is the old fashioned hard disk drive and then magnet, yeah. So you start inserting all these tiers that give architects, both hardware and software, an opportunity to rethink how they want to do storage. So the demand for this granularity is obviously coming from your buyers, your direct buyers and your customers. So what does it do for you and specifically your customers? Yeah. So the name of the game is performance and the ability to have, in a land where things are not very predictable, the ability to support anything that your end customers may throw at you. If you're an IT department, that may mean a BU or internal data scientist team or traditional architect of a traditional application. Now what Intel and Cisco can do together is truly unique because we control all parts of the stack, everything from the server itself to the storage devices, to the distributed file system that sits on top of it. So for example, in HC in Hyperflex, we're using Optane as the caching tier and because we write the distributed file system, we can balance between what we put in the caching tier, how we move that data to the non caching three NAND tier. As Intel came out with their latest processors that support memory class, storage class memory, we support that. Now we can engineer this whole system end to end so that we can deliver to customers the innovation that Intel's bringing to the table in a way that's consumable by them. One more thing I'll throw out there. So technology is great, but it needs to be resilient because IT departments will occasionally yank out the wrong wire, they occasionally yank out the wrong drive. One of the things that we worked together with Intel was how do we put RAS into this? How do we put reliability, availability, serviceability? How do we prevent accidental removal or accidental insertion? And some of those co-innovations have led to us getting out in the market, a Hyperflex system that uses these technologies in a way that's really usable by IT teams in our customers' houses. I'd love to double click on that in the context of NVMe, what you guys were talking about.  And Laura, you were talking about the cheap and deep now as a spinning disk. So my understanding is that you've got a lot of overhead in the traditional SCSI protocol, but nobody ever noticed because you had this mechanical device. Now with flash storage, it all becomes exposed. NVMe allows just like a bat phone, right from there. Okay, so correct me where I got that wrong, but maybe you could give us the perspective of why NVMe is important from your standpoint and how are you guys using it? Yeah, well I think NVMe is just a much faster protocol and you're absolutely right. We have a graph that we show of the old world and how much overhead there is all the way down to when you have Optane in a dim solution with no overhead. Optane SSD still has a tiny bit, but there's a graph that shows all of that latency is removed when you deploy Optane. So NVMe gives you much greater bandwidth, right? The CPU is not bottlenecked and you get greater CPU efficiency. When you have a faster interface like NVMe. And Hyperflex is taking advantage of this, how so? Yeah, let me give you a couple of examples. So when you think performance, the first thing that comes to mind is databases. So for those kinds of workloads, this system gets you about 35% better performance. The next thing that comes to mind is people really don't know what they're going to put on the system. So sometimes they put databases, sometimes they put mixed workloads. So when we look at mixed workloads, we get about 65% or so better IOPS. We get 37% better latencies. So even in a mixed IOP environment where you have databases, you may have a web tier, you may have other things, this thing is definitely resilient to handle those workloads. So it just opens up the spectrum of use cases. So one of the other questions I had was specific to Optane. DRAM has consumer applications as does Flash, Anand. Does Optane have similar consumer applications? Can it achieve that volume so that the prices can come down? Not free, but continue to sort of drive the curves? So when we look at the overall TAM, we see the TAM growing out over time. I don't know exactly when it crosses over the volume or the bits of DRAM, but we absolutely see it growing over time. And as a technology ramps, it'll have a cost-ramping curve as well. It'll follow that curve, yeah, great. Okay, go ahead, Steve. Yeah, just, Katie, give us a little bit broad view of Hyperflex here at the show. Can people play any labs with the brand new Optane pieces or what other highlights do you and the team have this week? Yeah, absolutely. So in Barcelona, we talked about Hyperflex 4.0. That is live today, so in the show floor, people can look at the Hyperflex at the edge combined with SD-WAN, how do you control, how do you deploy thousands of edge locations from a centralized location to the part of InnerSight, which is our cloud-based management tool. So that whole experience is enabled now. At the other end of the spectrum is how do we drive even more performance? So we were always a performance leader. Now we are comparing ourselves to ourselves to say, hey, we're 35% better than our previous All Flash with the innovation Intel is bringing to the table. Some of the other pieces are actual use cases. So there's a big hospital chain where my kids go to get treated and look at, let's see the doctor. There are lots of medical use cases which require Epic, the medical software company to power it, whether it is the end terminals or it is the backend database. So there's Epic Hyperspace and Epic Cache. Those have now been validated on Hyperflex using the technology that we just talked about around Opt-Aid and all NVMe. That means there's that much more power. That means that when my doctor and the nurse pulls up the records, those show up fast, but all the medical records, all of those other high performance seeking applications also run that much more streamlined. So I would encourage people in the world of solutions to get a tremendous set of demos out there to go out there and check us out. And there's a great white paper out on this, right? The EGS. ESG has been one of the companies that has been benchmarking HCI, Hyperflex. So would they do a lab report or? What they do is they benchmark different hyperconverged infrastructure vendors. So they did this first time around and they said, well you could pack that much more VMs on a Hyperflex with rotating drives. And then they did it again and they said, well now that you've got all flashed, well you've got now the performance and the latency leadership.  That's not going to make a pretty chart to show when we compare your all NVMe against your Hyperflex. So when you get that good, you compare against yourselves. So we've been the performance leader and ESG's been doing that. They have to obtain the next generation added opt-in. And this is what, a database workload? Database workload, a mix of workloads. Now you're bringing opt-in, so the latest report measures opt-in. Measures opt-in against our all flash report and then our all flash report measures across vendors. And where can I get this? Is it some part of your website? All of this is off of the Cisco Hyperflex website on our Cisco.com, but ESG is the company so I'm going to go directly to their website and get it as well. Okay, go ahead. Laura, I guess a final question for you is, you know, I think back to the early years at UCS, it was the memory enhancements that they had that allowed the densest virtualization in the industry. Back when it started, it sounds like we're just taking that to the next level with this next generation of solutions. What else would you add about the relationship with Cisco and Intel? Yeah, so Intel and Cisco have worked together for years, right? The innovation around the CPU and the platform. And it's super exciting to be expanding our relationship to storage. And I'm even more excited that the Cisco Hyperflex solution is endorsing Intel Optane and 3D NAND. And we're seeing great examples of real use workloads where our end customers can benefit from this technology. Well, Katie and Laura, thanks so much for the update. Congratulations on the progress that you've made so far. For Dave Vellante, I'm Stu Miniman. We'll be back with more coverage here at Cisco Live 2019 in San Diego. Thanks for watching theCUBE.
