Now that is a proper start to any morning a smiley-faced bacon With three eyes the best kind And we got oh, it's gone already. Oh, yeah, we're making waffles over here office in that It's gonna be great And then I got to get take the truck to get serviced. We're gonna go into the walk-in clinic real quick Just to fill up some prescriptions and Then after that Come on back home for a bit and I've got to leave tonight towards Chicago Chick-a-go Yeah That looks delicious Hey guys So we're back on the truck here and Pembina, North Dakota We didn't get very far today, and I didn't vlog at all today either today was a little bit of a Stressful day my head was sort of in the air all day my sister my oldest sister was involved in a head-on collision on a two-lane road on our way home from work today and It happened What 530 in the afternoon and we the longest time we didn't know what was going on We knew that the ambulance had come there to get her and they were treating her in the ambulance and We got very fortunate and she got very lucky that She had no serious injuries. Thankfully, but I waited at home until we knew what was going on and how bad it was and then She got moved to the hospital the nearest hospital and I went down there to see her yet before I went to work and She got very lucky at a guardian angel watching over her. She only had scrapes and bruises a sprained ankle and Her car is totaled But she she got off a lot luckier than the other people in the accident the other people Who hit her who swerved into her lane and hit her head on were transported to Winnipeg Hospital by stars Helicopter ambulance. I don't if you call them ambulances or got transported from the accident scene to the hospital by a helicopter So they were in a lot Worse condition, but we did find out later on that both the occupants of the other vehicle are okay There was a mother and her teenage son and the teenage son just had some scrapes and bruises and the mother was in worse condition with Several broken bones, but she's gonna be okay, too So I didn't get very far today just over the border a little bit of a head start for tomorrow and I'm running behind now but that's okay because Circumstances We're a little different. I mean if it would have been worse than it was now wouldn't even have left out of just Left a message called in and said sorry someone else take it It sort of puts in just perspective again when stuff like this happens how fragile life is now How quickly you can be snuffed out. Thank God no light lives were snuffed out in this incident. It's just Our heads were just spinning Brittonite our heads and on top of all this yet We have a water issue in our house that we realized right around the same time when this accident happened just before We got the call that she had been involved in a head-on collision we had realized that our roof was leaking everywhere in the house and We've got some serious problems with our roof and we're gonna have to redo our whole roof come spring and summer and That's rip off all the shingles rip off all the sheeting underneath the shingles They have old style sheeting because the house itself is really old and there's one by force What they used for sheeting underneath the shingles We need to rip all of those off and put newer, you know four by eight foot OSB board sheeting on there and re-shingle it again because The roof the way it's designed The snow piles on top of it and then it melts from the bottom because the attic is a little bit too warm We have that's another problem. We're dealing with right now, and then it melts The snow the bottom of the snow and then it pools up Right where the the the house meets our Eve from the the porch in the front It has a different pitch and it meets there and the ice gathers up in there And it it melts on warm days and then on cold days It freezes and it pushes up underneath the shingles and then on another warm day It melts and it's coming through the holes The house has been re-shingled so many times in its lifetime that there's holes everywhere through all these one by four sheeting and The water is leaking in through these holes into our attic Through all of our insulation through the drywall on the roof into our house in all kinds of different spots and the most infuriating part of this is I went up and checked it today and The previous owners who sold us this house We have it on paper actually have all the lawyers papers going to be calling our lawyers tomorrow they have it on Paper saying that they did not that they signed that there was not not to their knowledge Or how do I say this to their knowledge? There was no leakage in the roof and they signed a legal document Yet when I went up there to check on it right underneath where the the water was leaking Somebody who lived there before us had put plastic trays or little basins underneath there to collect the water That dripped through the roof so it wouldn't go into the insulation into the house So they knew That roof leaked and they tried to hide it from us when we bought the house by putting these plastic trays Underneath there to collect the water for long enough that we wouldn't realize that the roof was leaking the Thing is we hired a home inspector and paid him what several hundred dollars to go in and inspect this house And climb up in the attic to make sure things like this weren't going on and he approved the house And he passed the house with a full inspection And now we're dealing with this problem So I'm gonna talk to my lawyers tomorrow to see what we can do because they sold the house and it's clear that they knew that there was Leaks in the roof that they even put and put put rain water collector basins in there in the attic They knew about this and If the lawyers can't do anything which I hope they can then we got to talk to our home insurance and It's gonna be a really big expensive job And we might have to move into like our little cabin guest house thingy for a while So that we can tear apart this house because now that there's moisture up there And we know that there's been moisture for a while There's a good chance that there's mold and if there's mold up there It's an even bigger project because we're gonna have to aside from changing the whole roof The sheeting and the shingles we're gonna have to scrape out all of the insulation and Reinsulate our attic and then who knows if the if the moisture is probably trickled down in the walls We could have mold in our walls And this is what we were just coming to grips with when we got this phone call that my sister was involved in the head-on collision And obviously that took priority. I don't care about my house When it's in comparison to my sister's life Like sure my house is an investment, but it's a material thing it Material things they come and they go My sister I have two sisters But this particular sister I've only got one of them There's only one rose and So we dropped everything with the house and started focusing on that and worrying about her and thank God she was okay and Man so this is my vlog for you today just sort of Recapping for you everything that had gone on through this day, and I've still got to go to work We're going to Chicago then we're going to Ontario that we're going home Oh Boy and it's going to be a very interesting summer so Like I said, we're just spitballing ideas right now about what we're going to do we're going to have to gut the whole house probably and We're going to move into the our little cabin Got to do some renovations on that first, but that's a smaller cabin easier to renovate, right? So we'll renovate that get that ready for us to live in it actually we might actually have to live in it for a couple of years While we completely gut the house because I don't want to go into big debt and do it all at once I just sort of want to fix it as we can right so I'd rather Live in our little cabin for a while fix the house And not have to take out these big loans if we don't have to and just take our time getting it done I don't know. I don't know my mind is just spinning right now, and that's just Spitballing just throwing out ideas of what I think Because honestly, I don't know what's gonna happen.  Yeah, and we're kind of scared We're kind of worried because insurance usually says with water damage from the roof leaking They usually say oh, that's just regular wear and tear and the insurance companies don't want to pay out to help you out, right? so there's a good chance insurance won't even cover it and We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it. I don't know. We'll do it. We'll fix it Well, it'll just be over time. We're very fortunate that we have other structures that we can live in on our property So we don't even have to leave our property We still have our garage We don't have to live in the garage though, but we have the cabin And I think that that will be our saving grace We also have the camper, you know, but that you can't live in it through the winter. Oh See my head is just spinning but We're here in Pembina, North Dakota Right here just parked at the back of the lot just got across the border really Just barely into North Dakota, United States of America And I'm gonna go back there with the weasel. I'm gonna clean up the whole floor set up the truck And I just threw everything in here and just took off because I was running behind her So tomorrow we'll make a regular vlog starting from here and see how far we get we got to get to probably around Madison, Wisconsin I'm hoping I can make it to like beloy But we'll see So sorry there wasn't a regular vlog for you. I hope that You guys had a better day than I did and I definitely hope you had a better day than my sister did today I hope you guys are all safe and Just once again, I've said it many times before of value your loved ones Between you know Brits Brits dad was in the hospital not too long ago Now my sister was in the hospital, but you know Silver lining to the cloud or whatever you want to say a positive note She got to go home for nights I she didn't even have to stay in the hospital overnight, which is amazing a head-on collision And she didn't even have to spend the night and one night in the hospital You know, you don't thank God for our Canadian health care so that when accidents like this happen It takes that whole stress off your mind, you know She can go to the hospital. She can get fixed up and you don't have to worry about that bill at the end of it Yes, we do still have to pay for it But you get what I mean Everybody chips in a little so that when you have a loved one in need They can get the health care they need in their moment of need It's not a perfect system. It's not but it It helps a lot My camera cut out on me there, and I And they're just going to bed. No, you know what not dealing with this right now So it's a few days lighter. I'm just putting this together right now and going over this footage and adding those Pictures of the crash over on top of this here now There's a few more that I got just this evening that I'm filming this I didn't have all the pictures or all the details right away as that was the night it happened And she was still in the hospital when I was talking to you there. I did get to go visit her though I'm not sure if I mentioned that or not, but I did get to go visit her in the hospital and She was doing fine and a few days later now. She's got a really swollen ankle Hair in my eye She's got a really swollen ankle and a Few Damaged ligaments. I think that's what they said she had gone to her physiotherapist or when they took a bunch more x-rays and Looked a lot deeper into it I guess to make sure that there's no other injuries that they didn't know about and It's it's gonna be a bit of a road to recovery for her, but Considering you saw the the state of that car, right if if you don't remember from the beginning of the vlog Maybe I'll put it up on top of it right now again, and it's amazing that anyone would have walked away from that Alive never mind just just a sprained ankle with some damaged ligaments I know I mentioned already before that the other people were flown to the hospital via helicopter and We've heard also that they're doing better That they lived that they were okay a little bit more banged up than my sister, but They probably didn't have the safety systems also in their vehicle that my sister did and All of the airbags deployed except for the ones on the passenger side They go along the window there because there was no one in that seat and she got hit on the driver's side sort of And all of the airbags including an airbag by her feet that she didn't even know existed That's probably what saved her from getting more damage to her feet But those airbags deployed all around her and saved her kept her right in place So that's a Toyota Corolla if you're wondering what kind of car that is and you know 10-star safety rating For me and my family right now and especially my sister I think because all of those airbags and safety systems and the design of the car really saved her life thankful to have her around still and thankful that it wasn't worse So I'm gonna end this video here right now not much of a video today tomorrow will be a little bit better We're headed on down to Chicago. I hope you join us hit that subscribe button And if you want to check out what my regular content is like Go on to my channel after you subscribe check out my past videos. There's about 2,400 of them I think I've been doing this for a little while Take care new video tomorrow


Hi, I'm Kate Young, and you're listening to This Is Purdue, the official podcast for Purdue University. As a Purdue alum and Indiana native, I know firsthand about the family of students and professors who are in it together, persistently pursuing and relentlessly rethinking. Who are the next game changers, difference makers, ceiling breakers, innovators? Who are these boiler makers? Join me as we feature students, faculty and alumni taking small steps toward their giant leaps and inspiring others to do the same. The brand of Purdue is something that really can help people across Indiana and beyond regain trust in science and in the scientific process. That's what I think is going to have to be an important part of our health equity initiatives here, because not everyone has equitable access to the information they need to make a healthy choice. Throughout the past few months, this podcast, the official university podcast, continues to evolve. Whether it's Purdue's athletics, traditions, leadership or innovations, we're telling the stories of boiler makers who are persistently pursuing their next giant leap. And now, we have the honor of introducing new boiler makers to our family through this platform. Cue Dr. Jerome Adams. I was the 20th United States Surgeon General. In the last 200 years, there have been twice as many presidents as there have been United States Surgeons General. And I was just the second African-American male to serve as Surgeon General of the United States. When I came into the role, I had to deal with three category five hurricanes that hit. Once we got that situation a little bit stabilized, it was dealing with the opioid epidemic, the epidemic before the pandemic, then of course, COVID. And before his service as our nation's doctor, Dr. Adams served as the Indiana State Health Commissioner from 2014 through 2017. I ran the Indiana State Department of Health for people here in the state who've been paying attention. I was the Dr. Box before Dr. Box. And so that was a really fun role, but also challenging role. Once again, several crises we had to deal with. I came in right at the beginning of Ebola and had to work with people throughout the state to make sure they were prepared for a potentially Ebola case. Thank goodness we didn't get one, but we actually put in a tremendous amount of work to make sure we could screen people and have resources available if they needed it. Then after that, it was dealing with the NHIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana, related to injection drug use. And then it was Zika and then it was a lead contamination situation in East Chicago. So crises tend to follow me. And before that, you and I knew each other back when I used to work at Indiana University School of Medicine. And I was specifically Eskenazi Health, the county hospital in Marion County, working with the underserved, working with vulnerable populations, indigent populations, populations that didn't have the capacity to pay. That really helped me understand the challenges that people face. And it informed my work as health commissioner and a surgeon general. Clearly, Dr. Adams has quite a few accolades under his belt, but his next giant leap, well, it's serving as Purdue University's first executive director of health equity initiatives. He was also named a presidential fellow, and he'll be a professor of practice in the departments of pharmacy practice and public health, and a faculty member of the Regent Street Center for Healthcare Engineering at Purdue. Dr. Adams describes this new role. President Daniels really looked at the landscape that exists and saw that, hey, we've got a lot of great things going on in public health and pharmacy, but also in ag and in engagement and in liberal arts. These all are wonderful, but we need some coordination and we need some focus. So really what I'm going to be doing is helping come up with a strategic plan to highlight, to showcase the things that are already going on here at Purdue and the health equity space, but also to help us continue to innovate and grow and work with the community, not just in West Lafayette, but throughout the state and throughout the nation, because I believe when you look at how Purdue is now the top producer of astronauts, we want Purdue to be the top producer of experts in health equity in the same vein. Are there any major goals that you're going to focus on in this role first thing when you start? Well, I'm going to come in and really start off by doing a survey. And when I say survey, I mean talking to all the people in these great departments across campus who are having an impact, already having an impact. Look at our vet school. You go backwards. Ebola came from an animal vector. Zika came from an animal vector. Even COVID came from an animal vector. And so you've got the vet school here that people don't normally think of as being an instrument of promoting public health. Got ag, again, like I said, public health, pharmacy, the nursing school. You have so many assets here and I'm going to start off by talking to the leaders of those institutions and doing a survey and figuring out, OK, what assets do we have? And then how do we get everyone pointed in the right direction? But to be a little bit more specific, one of the things that I think is an asset here is the Purdue Extension Program. At all 92 counties, Purdue has educators across the state. And if we can leverage those educators across the state and really make sure we're coordinating our research and our outreach in a way that helps move the needle on certain issues. We're ranked 41st in terms of health of all 50 states in this country. Then we can move those overall metrics and outcomes in the right direction. While researching and preparing for this interview, I noticed a common theme. Dr. Adams has been passionate about reducing health disparities in minority communities for his entire life. But when we talk about the term health equity, what exactly does that mean? Dr. Adams breaks it all down for us and shares more about his background growing up in a rural community in Maryland. Let me go backwards a little bit for your listeners because a lot of people don't know what health equity even is. And we talk about disparities. Person A has a different health outcome than person B. And we start digging into why that is. And we ask ourselves, is it because they don't have equal access to resources, equal access to health insurance, equal access to hospitals? And that is a first step. But we've got to understand equality doesn't get us to where we need to be. So I'll give an example that many people can relate to. You're trying to get into this building right here. And it's elevated somewhat. So there are steps. And everyone has the opportunity to take those steps.  Equality doesn't get you to where you need to be and doesn't give you the access that you deserve relative to someone who is not disabled. Equality in that sense may be providing a ramp for one person to go up and stairs for another person to go up. But then you get into the building. There's an elevator that can take you to the top floor. Well, the buttons are really high in the elevator. So if you're a child or someone who's shorter, you may not be able to reach that top button where someone else who's taller may not even realize that it is a privilege to be able to reach that button and get to the top floor. So making sure those buttons are in a place that everybody can access them, that everyone has equitable opportunities to be able to be successful, to get into the building, to get to the top floor. And I wanted to say that first because we want people to have a common understanding of why this is important and how Person A may be in a disadvantaged situation. And Person B, unbeknownst to themselves, are really not about anything that's their fault, may be in a privileged situation. So now that you have that as context, I grew up in a rural community. I grew up on a farm, an old tobacco farm. As a matter of fact, I already there, given that I was the Surgeon General of the United States and had the warning on the side of cigarette boxes, grew up poor. I'm African-American. That was the trifecta, poor African-American in rural for poor health. And not only did I suffer from asthma and out of the hospital quite frequently, but I saw many members of my family in and out of the hospital. Many family members who died at a premature age because they didn't have equal opportunities to make healthy choices to eat fruits and vegetables, to be able to exercise, to get to hospitals where they could get good preventative care or good treatment when they needed it. And that instilled in me this desire to focus on health equity in everything that I did. So when I was a physician, I chose to work at the county hospital, helping people who were like me. When I was state health commissioner, I focused on HIV and AIDS. I focused on people with substance use disorder. I focused on infant mortality. That's a really highlight the problems that people face, but to come up with solutions to help them be their healthiest selves. And even as Surgeon General of the United States, beyond COVID, which is all anyone can think about now, we focused on uncontrolled high blood pressure, which disproportionately affects people of color and people in rural communities. I put out a call to action on maternal health, highlighting that women in the United States have much poorer outcomes and women of color have poorer outcomes yet around the time of childbirth. So that's really going back in my history to today where that passion comes from for health equity. And Dr. Adams' new role is just one of the many ways Purdue is supporting the strategic initiatives set in Purdue's next moves. One of these next moves is the Equity Task Force, which Purdue has committed $75 million to sustaining an equitable environment at Purdue with a focus on representation, experience and success for Black Boilermakers. As Purdue University President Mitch Daniels announced Dr. Adams' appointment on September 30th, he said, quote, Dr. Adams represents the highest level of excellence through decades of caring for patients and service to the nation in public health. He has consistently demonstrated commitment for health equity prior to, during and subsequent to his time as Surgeon General. We are thrilled to have him provide leadership at Purdue and represent Purdue globally in this important strategic area, end quote. And speaking of Dr. Adams' service to the nation, I asked him about his time as our country's Surgeon General. When we talk about serving as a Surgeon General, what was it like getting that call and accepting this huge honor? It was surreal. It really was. I worked for then Governor Mike Pence. And so it's really cool to come here and work for former Governor Daniels. And I've been fortunate. I've been fortunate to have a relationship with Governor Holcomb, our current governor, worked for him for a while, worked for then Governor Mike Pence. And now I get to work for former Governor Daniels, but Mike Pence called me up and said, hey, I need you to come to D.C. It's easy to forget, but it was a really tumultuous time. It was a time when the country was really in turmoil just because of the vitriolic election of 2016.  You shouldn't subject your family to this situation. But I'm a big believer in public service, come from military families. And if you're called upon to serve, I think that you need to really think long and hard before saying no, because we're blessed that other people who came before us sacrificed their lives, sacrificed their talent and really worked hard to make this the great country and the great state that we have before us now. I thought about it long and hard. And I thought my wife was going to tell me no. And my wife said, no, if you have this opportunity, you absolutely need to go for it. And so went out to New York. It was when they were in Trump Tower and it was crazy. It was insane. There were people all around. There were police all around. And I'm walking in the Trump Tower and my phone rings. And it's my mother-in-law who lives in Northern Indiana who calls me and she goes, you're on TV, you're on TV. And she's watching me walk into Trump Tower on national TV because they had the stream of who was coming in and out. Got there early, thought that I'd have a little bit of time to myself.  So I'm immediately on and have to show them that I'm competent. And then they asked me to come into the office and it's me, President Trump. It is Reince Priebus, his chief of staff and it's Bannon on the other side. And so you talk about an intimidating setting, but we had a great conversation. Believe it or not, we talked a lot about vaccines. I like to think that that conversation and then my relationship with the president may have played a part in him deciding to get his vaccination when he did. And him supporting Operation Warp Speed as much as he did to get a vaccine available in record time. So I think when you're called to serve your country, you go and you serve your country if you can. And you never know in what ways you may be able to have a positive impact. Right. And you did have so many positive impacts. And even like you said, we always focus on COVID. But before that, you had all of these other initiatives going and you had other issues you were facing. And one of those other initiatives before the COVID-19 pandemic was his U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on Naloxone and Opioid Overdose in 2018. Naloxone is a synthetic drug which can treat narcotic overdose in an emergency situation. Dr. Adams said expanding the awareness and availability of this medication is a key part of the public health response to the opioid epidemic. He explains more about this advisory, the first one issued in over a decade, plus he shares a personal story on how his family was impacted by addiction. One of the things I'm most proud of was a Naloxone advisory. So I recognized coming in, particularly coming from Indiana, and that we had an epidemic. There was a person dying of an opioid overdose every 11 minutes in this country. And particularly in Indiana, I worked with Justin Phillips, who leads overdose lifeline to help provide Naloxone and lower the stigma around Naloxone in the state of Indiana. So when I became Surgeon General, that experience really made me think, how can I use my bully pulpit while it's to lower stigma around substance misuse and increase the availability of lifesaving Naloxone. So I put out the first Surgeon General's advisory in over 10 years, calling on more people to carry Naloxone. And the amount of Naloxone dispensed in this country went up 400% after that advisory. So I'm really proud of that because I was able to use my bully pulpit to save lives. But the other report that I put out was about community health and economic prosperity. And it was really making the case that America's poor health is not just a medical issue, it is an economic issue. You look at communities now across Indiana, they don't have enough healthy workers to be able to go to a company and really convince a company to come to their town, because people have substance use disorder, people have diabetes, people have smoking related illnesses, and it impacts their ability to be able to participate in the workforce fully. And so I've worked with the Chamber of Commerce, I've worked with the UVA Darden School of Business, and I hope to be able to work with the Cranett School of Business now that I'm here on campus to really make the case to businesses that when you invest in healthy communities, you're not just improving individual health, you're creating a healthy bottom line. Healthier workers are more likely to show up and more likely to be productive when they're at work and they're going to cost you less. The average person with diabetes cost $5,000 more per year in health care expenses to their company than someone who doesn't have diabetes. So even when you look at things like stagnant wage growth, imagine if you had that extra money to give to someone as a raise as opposed to having to spend it to pay ever rising health care costs. $20 billion a year in lost productivity just from diabetes, one disease just from diabetes. Imagine what could happen if we had that money to be able to raise people's wages. And so if we can improve people's health by giving them better opportunities for health, complete streets, access to fruits and vegetables, smoke free environments, then again we're going to help our business community out and we're going to have a healthier workforce and more people are going to want to come to Indiana. But to the point, more people are going to want to stay in Indiana. You don't want to educate all these wonderful people here at Purdue, only to see them leave and go to another state. We want them to feel like Indiana is the place to be, to raise a family, to be healthy and to live a long life. That's a great point. You have a personal tie to the opioid crisis, your brother battles addiction. How did you, as surgeon general, you know, you're talking about you have this huge audience and you have this chance to serve? What kind of initiatives did you put forward? Tell us about that experience, like being able to lead the country and have that personal tie at the same time. I'm a person who very much believes in leading by example and who also I try to bring my authentic self to everything that I do. One of the things that people would say when they would look at me and Tony Fauci and we were often on TV together is that Tony was very professorial and very authoritative. And people said, I felt like you were my neighbor. And I think we were a good yin and yang because I speak to people the way I'd speak to my neighbor, the way I'd speak to my mother or my grandmother and you share stories. And I shared the story about my family's struggle with addiction, even though it was painful and it was painful. And while I was surgeon general of the United States, my own brother was in jail due to crimes that he committed to support his addiction. And you look at that dichotomy there, grew up in the same household, same parents. One person is in the highest office in the land in the White House between the president and the vice president. The other person is in a jail cell struggling with addiction. And so I would share that story more than anything because a lot of my initiatives as surgeon general were designed around lowering stigma. And stigma is when we separate ourselves into us and them. And us, we're good and them, they're bad. But the fact is, there are a few families that have been spared from struggles with addiction, whether it's substance misuse or traditional opioid misuse or math or alcoholism or food addictions or other sorts of addictions out there. Few families have been spared, but we're embarrassed to talk about it. Because we think we're them and everybody else is in that category of the good us. And so when I shared my stories, I was shocked, but also it made me feel better to know that after every single time I talk about my brother, someone would say my family struggled with that too. And if the surgeon general of the United States can publicly talk about it, then maybe that makes it okay. I contend that stigma actually kills more people than fentanyl or heroin because stigma keeps people in the shadows. It keeps them from asking for help. It keeps us from being willing to give help when you look at naloxone and Narcan and medication assisted treatment. All of my efforts were really focused around lowering stigma, whether it was around naloxone or I put out a surgeon general spotlight on opioids, helping educate people about the fact that addiction is a disease. It is a disease and not a moral failing. No one wakes up in the morning and says today I'm going to become addicted to heroin. There are pathways that we can mitigate and that's part of what I want to do in this role as the director of health equity initiatives is look at how we can go upstream and educate children at a young age. Disrupt these supply chains that actually lead to people like my brother being exposed to opioids at a young age and ultimately make this a better world, a more inclusive world for all of us. Oh thank you for sharing that story with our listeners as well. And then it was 2020 and with 2020 as we all know came coronavirus. The coronavirus has truly changed the lives of everyone across the world. It's changed hospitals, schools, shopping malls, restaurants. It's changed how we get our hair cut, how we visit family, how we grocery shop. But imagine being the nation's top doctor in the midst of this. Imagine literally leading the country through this pandemic. When it comes to COVID-19 and the pandemic and you were in the administration when this all happened tell us a little bit about this journey. You know it's happened once. It's a once in a lifetime thing probably for a lot of us to experience something like this. And what did you think about the way health information was shared, everything that's been going on since the pandemic, since vaccines are widely available now? It was again an insane experience. A once in a lifetime experience in many ways. I mean we had a once in a century pandemic. We haven't had anything like this scientifically or medically since the flu epidemic of 1918. But you have to remember superimposed on top of that was a presidential election. Perhaps the most divisive presidential election of most of our lifetimes. And so no matter what you said, it got politicized. You're pro-masked, I'm assuming you lean one way. You're anti-masked, I'm assuming you lean another way.  These are medical and health questions. But even when I say them, your listeners are thinking, oh well that's a Democrat, well that's a Republican. And that made it incredibly, incredibly challenging to deal with this pandemic, to work through this pandemic. And so it's interesting that you bring up communication and misinformation because I've been having conversations with some of the folks here on campus already in the communications department and the dean over the libraries about how we can really get accurate information out to the public. And in a world where trust of government is at an all-time low and trust of healthcare institutions and scientists is at a low point. I think that the brand of Purdue is something that really can help people across Indiana and beyond regain trust in science and in the scientific process. And that's what I think is going to have to be an important part of our health equity initiatives here because not everyone has equitable access to the information they need to make a healthy choice. And so I want to bring it back to vaccines because I've always tried to promote vaccines but I always try to look historically at what's happened to different populations and understand why they might have distrust. In the African-American community, for instance, people often talk about the Tuskegee experiments. 42 years, the federal government led by the Office of the Surgeon General, the office that I have overseen for the last three years, denied African-Americans treatment for syphilis in a government study and lied to them, told them they were getting treatment and they weren't giving them treatment. 42 years, so it's not a surprise that you see certain populations now have a distrust of a government intervention that to many people feel like it came about really fast. And so what I would say to your listeners is it's okay to have questions. You should absolutely ask questions about your health and medical treatments but what's not okay is to make decisions based on misinformation.  You wouldn't say, well, some guy on TikTok says to do this and so I'm not going to listen to what my plumber says that I should do. I don't know why we're in a world now where people will say, I'm not going to listen to a doctor or 90% of doctors out there, 90% plus percent of doctors have gotten vaccinated but they'll say, I'll listen to TikTok. And so I want people to have access to information from people they trust and I think Purdue is a brand that's trusted. I also would tell people to listen to your doctor, your doctor, or your nurse because people may not trust the medical establishment in general but they typically trust their doctor, their nurse, their pharmacist and I'm excited to work to get proper information out to folks because misinformation is a true public health threat. That's why Dr. Adams said he intends to help amplify the efforts of the Purdue Extension Program to promote health equity through Indiana and particularly in rural communities as well as work specifically with the business community to make the case for health equity as workforce and economic issues. After serving as the 20th U.S. Surgeon General in Washington, D.C. from September 2017 through January 2021 Dr. Adams is back in Indiana. He attended medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine as an Eli Lillian company scholar, worked in hospitals in Indianapolis and Muncie and as you heard earlier served as the Indiana State Health Commissioner. After all this time, does he consider Indiana home now? Do you consider yourself a Hoosier now that you're back here? Would you claim that? I grew up mostly in Maryland, went to undergrad in Maryland, chased a girl who was from Indiana to Indiana and I've been here for 25 years. So I've actually lived in Indiana longer than I've lived anywhere else in my life. That makes me feel like I have a kinship with Indiana but what makes me a Hoosier is that I'm outnumbered at home. I've got a Hoosier wife, three Hoosier kids. I've even got a Hoosier dog and so between that and my season tickets to the Coles I think that makes me an honorary Hoosier if not a full-blown Hoosier and I associate myself with Indiana. Indiana has been good to me personally and professionally. I would have never been Surgeon General of the United States had I not come to Indiana. I likely wouldn't have had an opportunity to run a state health department had I not come to Indiana. So Indiana has given a lot to me and that's why it's an honor to come to a land grant institution like Purdue here in Indiana and to be able to continue to give back to the state. When you watched Purdue from afar what were your impressions of what this institution stood for and what we were doing here? Purdue has always stood for excellence from my standpoint but I'll be honest the focus that I always heard about was in engineering, astronauts, Neil Armstrong and also agriculture in the veterinary schools.  They've got a tremendous legacy here of success in the sciences beyond engineering and I'm really excited about learning more about that and being a part of that. Now that said I also am a basketball fan and I've got a picture of Jean Katie and Bob Knight sitting at a table with my two boys. I always think of Purdue as being a basketball school and a football school too depending on the year. We're hoping that this year turns out to be a good year but I'm excited to be a part of the campus and a part of that tradition also. Yeah that's amazing. You'll have to listen to our coach painter interview on This is Purdue. We talked a lot about Coach Katie and their relationship and stuff. Well he was wonderful so I'm going to tell you a quick really funny story.  Even though my oldest to 17 said dad I think I may want to go to Purdue because his cousin goes there. My niece is actually a freshman in the engineering school here. Name's Carly Gongoware, Carly if you're listening. I love you and everyone Carly Gongoware is my niece so give her a hard time. But that said my boys were at this Purdue fish fry and Bob Knight is sitting next to Gene Katie and my boys go up to Bob Knight and they're decked out in IU gear and they want a picture with Coach and Bob Knight will not take a picture with them because they had IU gear on and Gene Katie goes Bob take a dang picture with the boys and so Bob Knight takes a picture with my boys but it is the best picture because Bob Knight has this total sour puss face on. He looks angry and my boys at that time were like seven and eight years old so he looks angry to be here next to these seven and eight year olds who are looking at him like he's a god because it's this IU coach who they've heard about and I love that picture I still have it on my phone and in my house. I love it because that's exactly what you think of when you think of Bob Knight. He looks like he's ready to throw the chair across the court as he's standing there next to my boys. So were they intimidated by him or they just took the picture and got out of their hair? They took the picture and then ran away and got out of their hair but they were happy as heck to go home and show the picture to their grandpa. It's just funny at how basketball is such a tradition here. It really is and Coach Painter was saying there won't be probably ever that Coach Knight, Coach Katie, the competition, the rivalry and all of that stuff which is so true and it's such a fun tradition. So that brings me to my next question. Do you guys root for Purdue as a family? It sounds like there's a little bit of IU's highs, but is there a certain athletics program that you're looking forward to coming to games? Well, so I love basketball. I went to the University of Maryland which is now in the Big Ten too. I was excited when they joined the Big Ten. You know, as far as IU and Purdue go, quite frankly, I think Purdue has been on the upswing in terms of basketball much more than IU has and I'm more of an Indiana fan than Indiana University or Purdue University fan. So when I say Indiana fan, I mean the whole state. I think it's a good thing when teams from the state do well. So if Notre Dame is up, I'm going to root for them. If Purdue was up, I'm going to root for them. If IU was up, I'm going to root for them. Even though I have to admit at that Purdue Notre Dame game last week, I was rooting for Purdue. I was hoping they would pull it out. I liked to root for the underdog and again, being a basketball fan, who are you going to root for now but Purdue? Looking forward to the season. I really am. I know we are too. Coach Painter, I want to come and see a game for you to pull out a win for me when I come. Yes, I hope he's listening. With all of his love for basketball, I have a feeling Dr. Adams will fit in just fine here at Purdue. Like Dr. Adams said at the beginning of this episode, I had the pleasure of working with him when I was just starting out in my career. I was about two years out of Purdue, working at an Indianapolis news station when I landed a media and public relations job at Eskenazi Health. Dr. Adams was a go-to spokesperson for the hospital and he was held in high regard. He treated everyone with respect and was genuinely friendly, no matter what your job position or title was. As a young professional who was still learning the ropes, I always enjoyed working with him. And now fast forward to just a few weeks ago, I got to witness Dr. Adams interacting with a few Purdue students firsthand while he toured campus. Again, the word genuine comes to mind. He was genuinely curious about their majors. He genuinely wanted to know what their plans were after graduation. And he definitely wanted to know if they are on TikTok and Twitter. After taking a selfie with the students, he told them to contact him if they ever had any questions. He would be happy to help them. And he really meant it. I was curious about Dr. Adams' presence on social media. He tweets a lot of important public health and safety information, but he also shares a lot of personal family stories and quips. I've noticed you're very active on social media. I think this goes back to what you were saying about, it's kind of like talking to a neighbor or a friend, because you're really fun on Twitter. And as the U.S. Surgeon General, I was not expecting when I was looking at your Twitter.  And why do you use social media? I'm an extrovert and I love engaging and interacting with people. So if you see me walking along campus and any of the listeners out there, say hi, ask me your medical questions. I enjoy engaging with people regardless about any topic. But I also enjoy being able to impart the knowledge, the wisdom that I've gained over the years as a physician, as a public health professional, to help people be their healthiest selves. And so Twitter allows me to do both of those two things. And sometimes when I'm on Twitter, I'm just complaining about my kids. I'm a dad. I've got a 17, a 15 and an 11-year-old. My two older kids are just starting to drive. My 11-year-old daughter is in that preteen stage. And whoa, sometimes you just need to go on Twitter and vent about the insane things that are going on and get an amen from the folks on Twitter. But I found that it's a really good way to reach people. And here's the thing too. We have to rethink the way we engage the public. The majority of people out there get their medical information on social media or on the internet. And so we can say, talk to your doctor. Or we can say, go to the library or go to a trusted source. And yes, that is the gold standard. I don't want to poo-poo that. But we also have to understand that our target audience may not go to their doctor. It may be going there once a year is not going to be able to get their questions answered the other 365 days of the year. They're not going to go to the library. And so we've got to be on TikTok. We've got to be on Instagram. We've got to be on Twitter and on Facebook. And so follow me at Jerome Adams MD on Twitter. And again, ask me questions, because not only am I on their posting, but what people are more often shocked about is that I would reply and I'll engage with people because if they're respectful and they're asking questions, then I want to make sure they're getting their questions answered by someone who actually went to medical school, has a public health background. Instead of them waiting to get their question answered from someone who may have another agenda or who at the very least may not know what the heck they're talking about. And what do his three kids think about their dad having this role at Purdue? Well, I've got one son who, again, very much says he wants to go to Purdue. So he's really excited. I've got one son who is leading more towards IU. So we've got some time to convince him. And I think the kids overall are excited because they're cousins. Their cousin, Carly, is someone who they really look up to. She's in the engineering school, female. So I mean, she's defying the odds to be a female and to get into Purdue, one of the top engineering schools in the country. Coming from rural Indiana herself, they really look up to her. And so I'm excited for what the next several years bring. And I hope to be able to make my family part of the Purdue family, even if not all my kids go here. I hope that they feel like this is a place that can become home to them. After serving our country as US Surgeon General and serving our state as Indiana State Health Commissioner, there's no doubt the opportunities were endless for Dr. Adams. But for him, it all came back to family. And that's why we're especially proud and honored to have Dr. Adams in our Boilermaker family. You probably had so many different interesting opportunities presented to you after all the time you've served. Why Purdue? Number one, my wife is from here. My kids are from here. The dog is from here.  So we were like, we got to get the dog back to Indiana. My family feels like Indiana's home. So we wanted to be in Indiana number one. And that caused me to have to say no to a lot of opportunities where they wanted me to move to New York or to California or to Minnesota. But then there's the legacy of Purdue and what's great about Indiana is you have some fantastic institutions. You don't have to leave to be able to do great things. You've got Cummins. You've got Eli Lilly. You've got Purdue. You have these brands that are known, Neil Armstrong. I mean, you've got these brands that are known across the world right here in Indiana. And so to get a call from Purdue, that's something that you say, I've got to listen to. I've got to consider. And then finally, President Daniels. President Daniels is someone who people highly respect. And I don't think people on Purdue's campus even know how highly he is respected for his leadership for the way he moves the ball on important issues. And so Mitch Daniels, Purdue, Indiana, it was something that I had to consider. And so I started talking to folks because of those reasons and got to find out about all the great things going on on campus in the health equity space already. And I said, if I could be a part of that, on top of this cluster hire, they're about to hire 15 new faculty to focus on health equity across the entire campus. So that's just an energy and excitement that really sealed the deal for me. And again, I couldn't be more pleased to be starting here and for what comes next. That's amazing. Well, we thank you so much for your time. And it was a pleasure talking to you.  Coach Painter, make sure you save me a ticket for one of those games. We've got to get these kids up here and convince them to come to Purdue so that they can be Boilermakers too. Yeah, I think a little behind the scenes tour. Yeah. The work. Thanks, Dr. Adams. Thank you. Be sure to head over to our YouTube channel, youtube.com, slash Purdue University, to see my full video interview with Dr. Adams. Because trust me, you do not want to miss his Purdue bow tie. Thanks for listening to This is Purdue. For more information on this episode, visit our website at purdue.edu slash podcast.

Is it possible to over stir my art resin?  If you stirred for 10, 12, 15 minutes, it's not gonna do any harm. Just keep in mind, you do have a 45 minute window in which you need to start to pour before the resin will actually cure. So when you stir, just make sure that you're going slowly, methodically, and make sure that you scrape the sides and the bottom. Try not to get in there and really whip it, because that's just gonna induce more bubbles than you need. If you do have a ton of bubbles in the end, you can simply torch that out with our artist torch, and it's always better to have more bubbles than less bubbles, because it means that you did stir properly.


Hey everyone, it's been easy or your community outreach specialist and today I'm bringing you a very Important special video. I realize that I'm pretty sure I say that in every single intro But this one is definitely going to be a long one There's a lot of information that's going to be thrown at you guys so we are here at Pasco ASAP and ASAP actually stands for the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention of Pasco So we're going to be meeting with three women from that work with this coalition And we're going to be talking about the substance abuse issue not only in Pasco But how you could take the same information to your own community if you recognize that this is something that you know You do need to bring to the forefront and how you can go from there So if you guys learn anything today one or two things All they've done my job for the day I am here with Chrissy and Monica from ASAP Pasco That's how you say it correct ASAP Pasco, which actually stands for the Alliance of Substance Abuse Prevention Kill them in the game. Okay, so they actually do a lot for ASAP Pasco But they're both going to kind of talk to us about what they do in the county our partnership You know with Pasco Sheriff's office and just give us the rundown so that you guys if you're looking or you have anyone Family that you you know may want to try to help out or you just want the information that you can do so whether or not You're local or out of state this could benefit all of you so sure Yeah, so well first things first for a coalition Which basically means that we're a group of people who come together to solve our community's biggest problems as it relates to Substance use substance misuse and substance use disorders So we rely on community partnerships, which is why we love hanging out with the Pasco Sheriff's office so often So from teachers the school board share of Sophist youth Parents you name it when everyone comes together to solve some of our biggest issues So that's a little bit of a breakdown of what ASAP does in the county So I know you guys have different programs and whatnot like I know I've actually Dealt with a couple of your members before because as you guys know I was a CPI So I used to investigate child abuse and childhood like and I know that you guys do work with a lot of parents You do work with a lot of kids as well. How are you? Let's just start how are you working with kids in the county like how because I mean a lot of times You don't think that kids will have a substance abuse problem Whether or not they're born dependent or if they just you know get older and just fall into that sort of crowd What's the role that you guys can play that kind of help or do or how would you you know? Do you so I would say we play multiple roles one of the Our strongest components of the coalition is the safe teens against drugs so our stand initiative where we're really I'm building leadership skills of teens and building a coalition of youth leaders that are working with their community in their school to make Their community level change or school level change of what they see as an issue So that's one of the ways that we're building up our children and our perspective They are kind of piggyback off of that in the last year and a half our stand youth has have really evolved So in the past they were really the youth leaders who wanted to get ahead of this issue You know seeing their peers and seeing their community becoming More and more disrupted by substance use and in the last year and a half We've had a lot of students who are in recovery themselves or have struggled with addiction themselves And really brings to light this this huge issue that there are not a lot of resources for young people with addiction a lot of the times as parents we think that Kids are going through a phase and we don't recognize it or hold it to the same severity as an adult who's struggling with the substance use disorder So they really brought that to light You know they don't feel like they can go to the same 12-step meetings as adults because they're not taken seriously even young adults people Who are 20 21 don't feel like they can go to an AA meeting and say I'm an alcoholic because people who are 45 60 say What you know like you know Even within yeah, even within the within with that Though that support system they feel stigmatized. So and that's called the stand program. Yeah stand. Okay, so Guys throughout this video just flashed an information at you There will be information about the stand program as well. Hopefully I am obviously in different counties across, you know America wherever you are watching this video. I'm sure you may have a program like it I don't know if stands is just a local for us It's not like a Cross-state lines type of program. It's not but there are use coalitions and coalitions like ours or similar to ours Across the state of the United States. So we can definitely send information on how to find those We'll help you guys out with that as well. What other kind of programs do you guys have? I know you guys do a lot. We do a lot Well and to kind of stay on the topic of youth, you know, Chrissy And I don't know if we want to bring in Missy to kind of talk about substance exposed newborns Before we switch ears. You guys want us to bring in Missy? Let's bring in Missy. Give us away Missy! Boom! We've added another. We have Missy with us and Missy, what's your role with ASAP? So I am actually a Committee chair for the substance exposed newborn committee. Okay, and Basically, we're a group in the community that's come together With different community partners, whether it would be we have some law enforcement. We have other facilities That actually specialize in substance abuse or treatments Just across the board. We have many community partners. Okay, like would one be Would one be Baycare? Okay, okay. I was like, okay. Okay, just so that we can so for those of you that don't Baycares When we have any individuals or when you guys watch tweet alongs and an individual is being Baker acted and they're Transported to Baycare. That's the facility that I just was referring to just to get an idea. Yes, definitely So Baycare plays like a big role in you know, assisting with treatment and stuff and the community because we do have funding for people who have no insurance or Stuff like that. That's awesome though. We still need substance abuse care so our substance can newborn committee we meet like monthly and one of the things that we've actually composed is a quick reference guide for pregnant women and Who are actually on methadone and it's like the need to know Okay, they need to know things they can expect whenever and before they deliver and why they're pregnant and after so I'm gonna take my engaging parents and to Treat the treatment and recovery and also what to expect if the CPI is called if DCF does get involved So that's one of the big things is you know helping them be prepared They're already, you know, going to be having lots of anxiety and stuff about childbirth, but whenever They want to ask for treatment if they are, you know, using a substance and to prepare them and stuff, you know for what may come and Just really to give them information guidance along the way. So is it more so for the parent and not for because if you if you have a mother that's on methadone gets pregnant, it's isn't it almost All the time that the baby's gonna be dependent So any any opioid that the mother is taking the risk is high Having a child being born dependent to it's the the goal is to make sure that mother feels comfortable Asking for that treatment help and not being so scared and continuing to use illicitly Okay, that is her method of choice because that is very very risky So by being able to encourage people to ask for help and get treatment We can reduce that risk and make sure that there are the least amount of complications possible. Oh awesome. Okay So how do I this may be completely Left-field how do individuals find ASAP is it through like different If they is it I don't think ASAP is not like a like a part like something that a judge will require like someone to Okay, no, that's not really a we're like a planning group. So okay So we we're a community strategy group or just people who come together look at data See what's the biggest trends in the in the area then we look to evidence-based strategies on and what we can do What what evidence-based strategies can we deploy as a community to reduce risk and really change these statistics that we're seeing? So we don't really provide direct services. I mean we put we provide a lot of information We do a lot of service in the community, but nobody's going to be referred to ASAP for that you okay Okay, quite like that. We do have community partners like they care like base like YFA Yes, okay, but to get back to your question how do people hear about us I mean we started 11 years ago as a grassroots kind of program So people just kind of know about us word of mouth and Exactly, which is great What a mouth I feel like will always top social media, but I still love my social media


This is stock number 9234X. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. We're checking out this super clean 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. From this HD video you'll be able to tell that this Jeep is extremely clean all the way around. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities turn them on right now because it's like you're right here looking at the car with me. Projector lamp headlamps, projector lamp fog lights, brilliant black crystal pearl is the color. It has the Michelin 24570 R17 tires on the factory painted alloy rims and these tires look like they have a lot of tread left I'd say probably close to 70 to 80% of the tread left on those tires. Front grill and bumpers in very nice condition. Headlights are nice and clear. Passenger side rim is in great condition as well no scuffs or scrapes and as you go down this side of the vehicle you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and glass-like the paint is and why we take these videos is if you're far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down you can still see the vehicle hear the vehicle and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. Didn't see any dents or dings down this side very very clean. Back rim is in excellent condition as well. Looks like possibly new brakes on the back here and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. I would probably say that those are brand new brakes on the rear there that we did in our safety inspection. Rear bumpers and really nice condition as well no dents or dings. Does have a full towing package which includes a receiver hitch, wiring, the rear gates and really nice condition as well. Got a four pin and seven pin wiring there. Back storage area is very clean as well no rips or tears in that carpeting. This one does have a full-size spare tire and you got two little cubby holes back here as well. Those seats do fall down flat for extra storage which we'll get to in just a second. I'll show you how those work. Down this side of the vehicle just as clean as the passenger side we want to make sure that you get the most accurate representation of the vehicle as possible so that when you get here there's absolutely no surprises and all you have to do is drive the vehicle and fall in love with it. Inside the Laredo package gives you the black cloth interior. There are no rips there are no tears in these seats. Power driver seat we got factory floor mats throughout. Power windows, power locks and power mirrors.  This Laredo package comes with the seven inch configurable TFT display and you can see that this vehicle has seventy seven thousand one hundred and one miles. On the leather wrap steering wheel we have almost nowhere cruise controls. This is for your information center the controls for that and then your bluetooth audio controls are right there. You have the 5.0 touchscreen radio. You do have AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You got dual climate control and in here you have an Augs USB and SD card jack. Passenger seat is very clean as well no rips or tears on that. It smells very clean in this vehicle. I'd be highly shocked if it was ever smoked in and it does have the keyless enter and go system so you just have to have this key fob in your pocket and the doors will automatically unlock when you get to the door and put your hand by it. You have a push button start stop or push button start should say and once again automatic headlamps. Back seats are very clean as well no rips or tears back here. Seats are in really nice condition has latch child safety system like I said these seats do fold down for extra storage you can see that those go down almost completely flat which is a really neat feature and back here we have factory floor mats and the carpeting is very clean as well. Power heated mirrors and under the hood we have the 3.6 liter pentastar v6 motor spent on wards top-ten engine list four different times now for just reliability horsepower and efficiency. This vehicle has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change all the fluids have been checked and topped off looks like we did brand new brakes on the back front ones don't look too bad either and to see more pictures of this Jeep Grand Cherokee or one of our other 400 new and used cars trucks SUVs minivans Wranglers you name it we got it go to our website www.SummitAuto.com full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle on our lot videos of every single used vehicle that we have all at SummitAuto.com thanks so much for checking out my video if you like it want to make it yours give us a call right now<PHONE_NUMBER> as for one of our sales associates to make this Jeep years today once again that number is<PHONE_NUMBER> thanks for checking out my video if you like it want to check out more go to youtube.com slash summit auto remember to like subscribe and share thanks for checking out my video and in a second you'll notice a subscription to our YouTube channel link on your left a link to more used inventory videos like this one on your right if you haven't been to our website on the bottom a link to this this vehicle on our website check them out and we look forward to help you with the super clean 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo thanks again


Live from London, England, it's theCUBE, covering .NEXT Conference Europe 2018. Brought to you by Nutanix. Welcome back to theCUBE at Nutanix .NEXT 2018 in London with you, Piskar. I'm Stu Miniman, happy to welcome back to the program, multi-time guest. Satyam Vagani is the Vice President, NGM of IoT and AI at Nutanix. Satyam, great to see you. And likewise too. Thanks for having me back. So, IoT and AI, two of the fastest moving spaces in IT today. Remember, we had you on the program a little over a year ago to talk about Project Sherlock. And that was where Nutanix was starting with IoT and remember asking you, Nutanix and IoT come on, I don't understand, Nutanix for the most part, it's like two products at that point and where they're going. The password today, it's now called XI-I-O-T. That's X-I and then I-O-T because Nutanix makes the product simple, but not necessarily the name. But Satyam, help bring us up to speed as to what your team's been working on and what's the state of the product today? All right. So, like you said, we started way back around a year and a half ago from now. And we were working on Project Sherlock. And the idea was the fact that a lot of analysts were projecting that a lot of enterprise data is going to be produced at the edge. And it was equally important to process it at the edge for many different reasons. Autonomy, security, cost, compliance. And so that was the genesis. And we thought we were very well-suited to do it because this was yet another problem where you needed to provide a very elegant system, a very well-contained system, just like what HCI is for your primary data center in an extremely remote and extremely hostile environment. And so that was why we thought we should take a crack at it. And along the way, of course, then our ambitions brought into being a multi-cloud company. And that fit in very well as well because IoT is never an edge-only problem or a cloud-only problem. Every IoT app kind of spans the edge in the cloud. And this was a perfect way to showcase the multi-cloud data plane, multi-cloud control plane capability. Yeah, no, I love that.  I'm like, no, it doesn't kill the cloud. Edge actually will help increase a lot of the stuff in the cloud. It just means that it all won't be in this mystical the cloud in the central, which we know everything's being built really as it's distributed architecture today. So there's a lot of nuance and understanding, you know, how some of those pieces together. I was excited to hear, if I remember right, you have a customer talking publicly about using this today. So there's nothing better than hearing, you know, a real-world example. So maybe help walk us through that briefly. And that's the most fulfilling part about it. So, you know, that's a plan for tomorrow's keynote. And, you know, it's very fulfilling because when we started IoT, you know, one of the other concerns other than the why Nutanix was why IoT, it's, you know, not a mature space. Nobody quite knows what to do about it. And that was the point is that we thought we had an opinion about the edge being us kind of key piece of IoT.  And then we were able to validate it, not just with, you know, POCs, but, you know, with people who have put us in production in very fantastic and remarkable use cases. So, yeah, you know, that was the journey. This one use case was around smart retail, but it kind of embedded all the elements that we kind of hold dear to our heart is, you know, can we instantiate AI inferencing, complex AI inferencing logic at the edge? Can we instantiate standardized applications at the edge? Can we do interesting data management between the edge and the cloud? So looking at this from a technical perspective, what does this look like? So if I look at this from, you know, from that technical perspective, I still see a data center, I still see the cloud, I still see data going back and forth. Yeah. What makes Xi IoT different? Different. So one is the focus on edge computing. So, you know, a lot of IoT solutions were either made at a time when there was a kind of vertically integrated IoT application and that vendor said, okay, now let me get broader. So that's one category of, you know, IoT solutions out in the market. There were some IoT kind of offers, which were cloud first, right? So, you know, there's an IoT offering in the cloud potentially for doing consumer IoT projects. And now that offering wants to expand into enterprise. We said, let's go from the edge outwards because, you know, in the enterprise context, like I said, data processing, the amount of data, the volume is pretty overwhelming. So that's one difference, which is the richness of services that we provide at DH. The stack is pretty deep, but at the same time, pretty miniaturized to Dheeraj's point from the keynote in the morning, is these environments need to run in pretty compact form factors in terms of computing. So that's one difference. The other difference is the pipeline all the way to the cloud. We don't consider this as an edge-only problem. And to that end, we normally do a pipeline to the cloud, but we allow the customers to have a choice of cloud. So we don't dictate a choice of cloud just because we are providing a solution to the edge. And another key difference is the ease of use both for deployment and operations of the edge device itself. So you know, think about deploying this thing or a thousand stores. We made it a zero-touch provisioning process. So the only requirement to deploy the Xi edge is that you plug in the internet cable. And that is very core to the Nutanix philosophy, right? Simplicity, one-click simplicity. And the last thing is APIs. Is the programmer APIs that the whole system exposes is Apache-class APIs, open-source-class APIs, so that people who are already used to various programming frameworks can immediately jump on this. Yeah, I mean, you bring up one of the, what we saw in our research, one of the biggest hurdles for this. Go back to when we first looked at industrial internet. We actually did some research with GE, and it's the OT really doesn't play with IT. You've got very specific gear, and it plays certain ways, and it doesn't talk, and it doesn't have APIs, and it doesn't have networking, and it's all going to have centers and connectivity and things like that. And just these worlds just don't talk today. So is it, it sounds like this is a more IT, friendly solution, how do you help bridge that gap? That's a great observation. So first of all, I would say, indeed we are coming IT inwards, right? IT outwards into OT. But at the same time, you know, the only way to make OT appreciate such a solution is to show them a path that look, you can adopt Xi IoT without causing disruption to your machine critical setup, OT setup that you already have. So we've put in a lot of thoughts around how we can source data from OT systems without having a conversation about throwing out, ripping and replacing every OT data gathering point and device that they have. So that was one thing. The other part is if you can provide them some extra added benefits, if that OT person was to do some of their infrastructure on top of this kind of IT OT convert system. And so to that end, we think there are some specific security benefits, some resource management benefits, some user management benefits that we can provide in this new age that the OT guys would appreciate as well. And so it was about having something for the OT guys to appreciate so that there is some buy-in as opposed to dictating that you got to do it. So one of the things I observe in that industrial world is there's quite a lot of developers in that space as well. They're actively developing while gathering data while figuring out IoT. So how do you let them, you know, let those developers work on that platform as well? For instance, do you use carbon on that platform, stuff like that? Right, so you know, we have a bunch of services on the platform, essentially it's like a pass, but for the edge. So there's container services, functions, there's some data services, AI services. But the developer point is very interesting. So in fact, as we speak, we are going through that journey as a company, right? How can we be a more developer-centric company? You know, it involves literally running a seven-hour XI IoT lab yesterday, and a lot of people showed up and they stayed throughout the day. So I think it's an awareness thing. It looks like at least from an interest point of view, once people see the platform, the APIs, there is true interest. And so now it is up to Nutanix to have enough events, have enough kind of awareness campaigns to make sure that this work spreads out. Unfortunately, I don't have a silver bullet for this, but it's literally going to be a work in progress. I think next year, same time, maybe when we talk, probably we should talk about whether we make progress on this or not. Speaking of areas that don't have silver bullets, you mentioned security. A lot of concern around, there's already been breaches and hacks and things like that. Security, as we know, the surface area goes up in order of magnitude or more. How does Nutanix look at the security aspect? So there's various things, but I'll give you one example. Concrete example of what we did that is making a dramatic change, moving the needle, so to speak, is if you can always argue that your platform is secure, but at the end of it, how do you prove it? And so one proof point we have is from a security point of view, the Xi IoT edge is locked down. Even an administrator cannot lock it. And so the idea was that if you ever let an administrator have a username and password to an edge device, that is bound to be a point of compromise, no matter how secure you are. And so the only way to eliminate that is to just eliminate the need to have a username and password to an edge device. And so those are some of the things that we kind of thought and that's actually tightly ingrained in how the system is designed. Because you can't touch the edge. You can deploy all the applications you want, but you can't touch it. You can't touch the, you know, we provide containers as a service to the edge, but you don't configure container isolation on the edge. The system does it for you. So these are some of the things that, you know, the more automation we do, the more we remove humans from some of these very mission-critic, security-critical points, the better off we are in terms of, you know, reduced chances of hacks. Okay, so you've got a customer up on stage tomorrow. Is Xi IoT, is that now GA today? All right, sorry, I forgot to make it. It is, indeed, it's GA. Okay. And the press release went out today. Okay, you know, give us, what should we be looking going forward? We understand we're still as an industry early on this journey. Your team's been working on it for a while, but what should we be looking for? What are some of the key things down the road that you're excited for? From Nutanix, or industry? Yeah, well, I'll take both. Okay. Give me two bars. Well, anyway, let's see. First from Nutanix. So, you know, we want to, IoT is not a single vendor problem, right? So, as much as we want, we want to make this a platform that is, you know, attractive to OT folks, that is attractive to IoT vendors who have been creating these very vertical specific IoT apps. We want to prove to them that this is a way better platform for them to deploy their apps at industry scale. We want to appeal to AI guys, data scientists who are going to create interesting applications around data processing. So, you know, some of the next few steps is to provide interesting features and functions in the system which appeal to all these demographics. From a GTM point of view, go to market point of view, we want to make sure that we get some partnerships, right? Because again, this is not just a technology problem. So, those are some of the steps you are going to see. You are probably going to see more we are open to, you know, to bring your own cloud philosophy for our IoT platform. Out of the box, we support Azure, AWS, Google, and our private cloud, if you bring that in. And maybe we'll expand that portfolio because there are other cloud providers, especially if you're looking at regional markets like APAC and AMIA and so on. So, that's some of the things. And then, last but not the least, you are going to see more and more investment in AI because, you know, there's obviously a lot of talk about AI. But, and it's very easy to do a proof of concept, or well, kind of easy. But it's very difficult to deploy that proof of concept at an industrial scale. And that is a problem we want to really, really solve very, very well. So, you'll see a whole bunch of investments, features, announcements around it. All right. So, I think we're going to have to leave it there, Satya. Pleasure is always to catch up with you. Congrats on the progress and look forward to hearing from your customers. Thanks very much, Stu. Thanks, Joe. Thanks so much. Hi, I'm Stu Miniman. I'll be back with more coverage here from Nutanix.NEXT 2018 in London, England. You're watching The Cube. Hi, I'm Stu Miniman.
