Hundreds of thousands of deaths in the United States every year are attributed to obesity. Now, overtaking smoking is perhaps the main preventable cause of illness and premature death. In particular, excess body fatness is an important cause of most cancers, according to a meta-analysis of studies done to date. For some cancers, about half of cases may be attributable to just being overweight or obese. What's the connection, though? Why do individuals who are obese have increased cancer risk? To answer this question, we must consider the biochemical consequences of obesity, like IGF-1. Instantly like growth factor 1, is a cancer-providing growth hormone associated with a variety of common cancers in adults, as well as children. Kids who got cancer had about four times the levels of IGF-1 circulating in their bloodstream, whereas people growing up with abnormally low levels of IGF-1 don't seem to get cancer at all. Zero cases out of 300 people. I've talked about this cancer-proofing mutation. The role of animal protein intake plays in boosting IGF-1 production from our liver, which may explain plant-based protection from cancer, and how plant-based one has to eat. But our liver is not the only tissue that produces IGF-1. Fat cells produce IGF-1, too. This may help explain this 21st century cancer epidemic caused by obesity. So of course drug companies have come up with a variety of IGF-1 blocking chemo agents with cute names like Figatumumab, but with not-so-cute side effects, such as early fatal toxicities. So perhaps better to lower IGF-1 the natural way by eating a plant-based diet, as vegan women and men have lower IGF-1 levels. Maybe though it's just because they're so skinny. The only dietary group that comes close to the recommended BMI of 21 to 23 were those eating strictly plant-based diets. So maybe it's the weight loss that did it. Maybe we can eat whatever we want as long as we're skinny enough. To put that to the test, we'd have to find a group of people that eat meat but are still as slim as vegans. Long-distance endurance runners running an average of 48 miles a week for 21 years. If you run 50,000 miles, you too can maintain a BMI of even a raw vegan. So what did they find? If you look at the blood concentrations of cancer risk factors among the groups of study subjects, you see that only the vegans had significantly lower levels of IGF-1. That makes sense, given the role animal protein plays in boosting IGF-1 levels. But the vegan group didn't just eat less animal protein, they ate fewer calories. And in rodents at least, caloric restriction alone reduces IGF-1 levels. So okay, maybe low IGF-1 levels among vegans isn't due to their slim figures, but maybe the drop in IGF-1 in vegans is effectively due to their unintentional caloric restriction. Okay, so let's compare vegans to people practicing severe calorie restriction. They recruited vegans from the St. Louis Vegetarian Society and went to the Calorie Restriction Society to find folks practicing severe calorie restriction. What did they find? Only the vegan group got a significant drop in IGF-1. These findings demonstrate that unlike in rodents, long-term severe caloric restriction in humans does not reduce the level of this cancer-remoting hormone. It's not how many calories we eat, protein intake may be the key determinant of circulating IGF-1 levels in humans, and so reduced protein intake may become an important component of anti-cancer and anti-aging dietary interventions.


It's really exciting to have won the award today for Hindustan Unilever and especially so because mobile is clearly a focus area for us and we called out as a client of the year on mobile marketing is a real pleasure. It's been seven years that the ITM has been around. I think the way they have done it this year it really holds very good sway for the future and I think we should really keep doing this and make it bigger every year from now onwards. So we got a couple of metals rather glass slabs and there's two silvers one gold we won the Hall of Fame for the best social and digital which is awesome. There's Chase, he has been a partner with us for three years and now we're going to have the fourth season with them it's going to start really soon it's called Chase the Monsoon and we won for best integrated product for that and then there is Insider which is with one class the mobile company and it was a property which just came out of one random thought and it went up to win for best use of social and so clearly something was right about that too. All in all it's awesome man congratulations. And we are also the best digital and social media advertisers and we've got the Hall of Fame for that. Thank you I see. Thank you I.D.M.A. for recognizing this. Recognizing us. Clearly this one. I will come back next year with I think probably six awards next year more than this for sure. It's something which came out of mobile six years five years back it's almost the same time I started working for it. So I remember entering the first edition winning a couple there and then we've been winning some every year. There wasn't rice per unit I think once but when we were back it's pretty much Chase the Monsoon it's right again. So let's go. Thank you man. First of all thank you very much. We really really owe it a lot to the entire team at MindShare, MindShare Digital. What we always thrive to do is all the good work across our clients and I'm happy that in such a competitive across the categories what we saw in such a competitive environment I think the jury made the right choice of selecting all the good work and congratulations to all the winners and just make sure that all the work always is best in class. That's what I think digital advertising stands for engagement, innovations, conversations, new media. I think the other thing which is it's not about only a singular media it's about now getting more and more mass and it's now getting mainstream. I would like to just call out one last thing to the entire team at MindShare. I think you guys are fantastic. Thank you team. We couldn't have done this without you. Thank you once again. Thank you.


And in a good state, the governor, Mba, and his administration says his administration is considering the option of dragging the breakaway leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Ipob, Simon, and all the instigators of the illegal set-at-home order in the state before the International Criminal Court, ICC in The Hague, Netherlands, Mba, who declared that the state was winning the war against set-at-home enforcers insisted that Inugu residents would continue to take orders from, would never take orders from the people he described as murderers and enemies of Igbo land. The governor who urged the people not to be deceived by those who used the name of the leader of Ipob, Namdi Kanu, as a cover-up for their criminalities noted that Kanu had since expressed his displeasure at the enforcement of set-at-home and consequential harvests on Igbo land. When to sit at home with Onohin? When to take a break with Onohin? It means we've lost it completely. So this is why we need to understand very well this emerging threat and we must do everything within our powers to end this, to ensure we bring to an end. And that will depend on how we frame the narrative, whether we're going to allow the people who peddle for food to prevail at the end of the day or whether we will allow the truth and how evil what it is. Condemn it in the strongest sense because that's not who we are. We are the people that are known for our industry, known for our hard work.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're talking about Thursday, flipping investments today on the channel because I think again this week, you're gonna see a nice market rise because again, we are not scared of team of the year really anymore, at least not right now when I'm watching this video or when I'm recording this video. When you are watching this video, we don't really have any information on team of the year yet. Now, of course, there's been a couple things that have come out. People are starting to whisper about team of the year and what could be coming if they're gonna drop a loading screen soon or if they're gonna drop some sort of like voting webpage or anything like that. But at least as of right now, I don't think we have to worry about that. So I think this week we can do a normal Thursday flipping investments kind of period. Now, as we have seen almost every single week, a lot of stuff hits its absolute lowest on Sunday night or Monday morning, which it has and stuff has already risen since then as we head into Wednesday today. But the last couple of weeks on Wednesdays, we have had some pretty big content that has caused a little bit of panic on the market and some people are expecting that to happen again today. Now, I wanna take you to the SBC that is causing this, I guess, possible fear. The base or mid icon SBC is expiring today on Wednesday at 6 p.m. UK. It's got 15 hours remaining. And once this goes away, some people think this is gonna be replaced by another sort of icon SBC. And since this was non-repeatable, and if it's not just a normal base icon upgrade, which it won't be because we already had that in the game, some people are thinking this might be a base icon player pick, which would be very interesting. And I think a lot of people would be interested in that because those player picks that people have been doing have looked pretty decent. Now, it's an option, it's a pack that is in the code already because it was part of icon swaps. So it's not something that we would like see that would come out or like a mid icon pack 89 plus. That's already in the code. So it doesn't have to add any code to make us aware of a new pack that is coming or whatever. So there's like, there's no leak or it's just gonna be a surprise if that does end up coming. But some people are expecting that to come today. So I'm not gonna be buying any of my Thursday flips until after 6 p.m. today on Wednesday. And after the team of the week comes out as well. I wanna take a look at a few cards right now that are in the talk, right? These cards are kind of the talk of the town right now because of what happened today on the market. This Joel Cancelo was 210,000 coins this morning. He got bought all the way up to 230K because of the John Stones SBC. He went back down to like 210 and now he's back up a little bit. Other players like center backs in this game, right? Van Dyke, there was a lot of panic selling today on Premier League center backs and center backs all around. Van Dyke is still around 200,000 coins which is not bad considering. He was towards the 210 range earlier today. So he's down, you know, 10,000 coins or so. That's not bad. And I've been looking at center backs across the game. Across the game, you saw a little bit of a dip yesterday in some center backs. Like people were actually selling their center back cards to go and do that new SBC for the John Stones. Right there that day across at 195, that was basically an instinctual buy for me because I know for a fact that I'm gonna be able to sell that card upwards of like 207, 210,000 coins right now, honestly. He's up. I'm basically covering my tax already. I probably can list that to 10 and possibly get a sale there. So like that's the kind of stuff we were looking at today and going forward after rewards on Thursday depending on who is in the team of the week which we're gonna take a prediction look right now. It doesn't look like there's a lot of Premier League in this week's team of the week but I do like La Liga and our normal French, our normal Brazilians and even some of our normal Premier League cards for flips this week. I just think your timeframe is gonna be wait until after 6 p.m. today on Wednesday to start buying that stuff because a lot of stuff already has gone up on the market. And except for that stuff that we talked about that was impacted by the John Stones SBC today. I also think that some of those links to John Stones and Premier League might be good this week. We'll talk about that in a second but this is the foot bin team of the week prediction. You have Gundewan as one of the only prem players in this one. The foot head team of the week prediction also has a Hyunmin Sun. Some are saying Hyunmin Sun or Harry Kane could get in because of their one goal one assist performance last weekend against Leeds I think it was. But we have Lukaku, Cristiano Ronaldo though is the big one right. We should have a CR7 informed this week. Tierney could possibly get in, Manuel Neuer. There's a lot of players that are low on the market right now because they're potentially getting another team of the week. Just Don Aruma is in a couple of predictions. Akanshi's road to the final card is being held in check because of this prediction right here. And there's one card that I wanna talk to you guys about that a lot of people are not buying at the moment because it's team of the week potential and it's this Kimmich. This Kimmich team of the group stage which is the best version of this card and also the Inform which is one rating worse, 112K. Both of these cards did very, very well this past weekend. This Kimmich was at 280,000 coins for most of the weekend. He's dropped off because he has got into some team of the predictions. But a lot of people think it's either going to be Kimmich, Sane or Neuer. And it's between Sane, Kimmich and Neuer between who's actually gonna get into the team of the week. But since Kimmich is coming into those predictions you do see that he is down right now. This is a card that I would watch 100% because if Sane gets in to the team of the week obviously this card is gonna go up as a link investment and the fact that he's not getting a new team of the week card. And this Sane wants to watch card right now is inflated from where he was after, so he was about 120,000, 130,000 coins. He peaked it like 170 and has now come back down because he's not in too many team of the week predictions but it is possible that he could get in. So if you have this Leroy Sane, if you're buying it because you think he's gonna get in then I guess you keep holding and you hold for the gamble. But that Kimmich card is one thing I wanted to talk about and all of these cards, man, like these cards are still very, very rare. This tail Hernandez fluctuates 20K every day. This De Bruyne pops up at 380 all the time. This Bruno pops up all the time. And of course what we saw last week was because of the new headliner Bruno which got a price range update today is above two million coins. This card is still less than half the price of that item and some of these other informs, 675 for the 89 Bruno Fernandez right now is crazy. 675 for this card that was 600,000 coins flat on the week and they sell off. 607, you can see the one that I have watched here. This guy was even like 625 today and actually 675 on foot bin is not truthful. He is actually 660K but this Bruno Fernandez card whether it's the team of the group stage, the first inform or the second inform fluctuates a lot. I'm a huge fan of him for a Thursday flip and just informs like this. Older informs from the Premier League that are very meta cards that a lot of people want to link and using their teams right now. I know a lot of us have been using lower tier cards, cards under 250K for the past couple of weeks for Thursday flips because the market being a little bit more scared as we head into the team of the year time period. But since we have no information on team of the year as yet, then we're seeing really just, people are going out and they're spending coins, right? We're seeing icons that were really, really great Thursday flips this past week, right? I think of a guy like Baby Canavaro who is an out of packs base icon. Baby icons this week are gonna be great for Thursday flips if you find, even like a baby Barnes. People buy this baby Barnes card as an English center attacking mid. So keep an eye on a guy like this this week for sure, right? I know it's a 200,000 coin card, it's not that expensive, but you might be able to make a flip on an out of pack icon like that as well this week too. So we also do have to kinda consider the John Stones SBC because I know it does not seem like it's crazy good value and I know it's not the best card ever, but when EA drops any English player, especially if it's an English player in the Premier League that is well known like John Stones, you get a reaction like this on foot bin and this is how I can tell that a decent amount of people are doing this SBC. For number one, it's 151,000 coins. It's English, it's Premier League. A lot of people who run Premier League teams are gonna slot him right into their team. There's really not a ton to do in FIFA right now unless you're finishing your icon swaps. So people are bored. So sometimes when people are bored, they just go out and do SBCs anyway and it's got 2,900 thumbs up on foot bin. Now of course it does have 1,900 thumbs down, but I think a lot more casual user base of course if you have Manchester United or Manchester City fans, by the way, big game, Manu, Man City today on Wednesday, Caramel Cup to play against My Spurs in the final, GG. But I think a decent amount of people are gonna do this SBC and that's why, again, you can gauge the hype of an SBC based off of panic selling you see in other areas of the market and we saw other Prem Centerbacks get panic sold off a little bit today. You saw Inform Joe Gomez go down about 20,000 coins. He has since rebounded. You saw Rule Breakers La Porte. This was a card that I was a little unsure about because so many people were looking to buy this item after it was panic sold. He went from 550,000 coins all the way back down to 500K flat. Now right now he's back to 518,520, but that's a card that was panic sold today and that tells me, again, that there were people that were doing this John Stones SBC because of the panic selling we saw in other areas of the market. I mean, goodness, you even saw Gold Veran. Gold Veran was like 192,193,000 coins this morning on the PlayStation market and right now he, well earlier today, he might be back to 190 right now. He's 188,187, 182, can I get that? I cannot. This guy was down at 185 earlier today so we dropped 7,8,000 coins on a Premier League SBC that literally is a different card in a different league, different nationality, different league and people were still selling their Verans because that John Stones card was something that they wanted to do. They replaced their Veran with John Stones which is crazy to think about, but as we're thinking about some more possible Thursday flipping investments this week, a lot of the links that were, and there was a lot of links that were invested in today that were direct links to the new card. This Edison was like 110,000 coins and he shot up very quickly and he's still pretty high to be honest with you. He's like 127K for that nice link to the new John Stones. You saw this card go up today. You saw Gold Kyle Walker go up a bunch today. I'm pretty sure Kyle Walker was like 49,000 coins or something like that and now he's up around 60K. I would just be very careful with some of this stuff. If it's already up a lot, I'd be careful because that means there's a lot of people that are probably holding that card. Could it go higher? Yes, but I'd just be very careful with it. Now, try to find some stuff in the game that maybe isn't a direct link that a lot of people would think about as like a linkage for John Stones but just other Premier League English players like maybe Sterling doesn't get an exact green link to John Stones but this is a very rare item even though it's a left wing in the prem. This guy fluctuates around a lot. If you see him around 180,000 coins, if there's any panic selling today on Wednesday when we see this whatever supposed content drop, you might even see selling leading up into 6pm UK today to buy your Thursday flips. I would wait until after though.  But just kind of think about some of those Premier League links at the back line. This Vardy card is a card that literally fluctuates all the time every single week. He's 450,000 coins right now. If he goes down to 420 or 430, that's an easy buy because he's gonna rebound. This Kulabali is like incredibly rare and Malinkovich Savage coming into the game and possibly some Serie I informs in this week's team of the week is making him rise. So for honestly boys, when we're looking through what kind of stuff you can buy this week for Thursday flipping rewards, it's kind of just the normal stuff. We're really just looking at some of the normal things. Like this Zaha right now at 201, this guy's low. Look at every week for Zaha man, 207 up to 224 and back down to the 200s again this week. There's a lot of cards that have movements just like that every single week. Go through, look through some of these team of the weeks. This Rafinha, Brazil right mid, Premier League once again, check this out, right? 103 to 120, back down to 108 to 122. What did he go back down to this week? He's 114 right now. That's not too terrible of a price. This Benjamin Men, or yeah, Benjamin Menny is already up of course because of the new John Stones. But, and again, like we talked about with Neuer, his inform was 190K this weekend. He's still chilling around 174. Just keep an eye on that. If he does or does not get an inform, just keep an eye on some of the stuff that moves around every single week like this Bruno Fernandez we talked about. You find players like this who have graphs that you can tell fluctuate each and every week and you're like, okay, that's a card that I want to get interested in for a flip this week. Let me show you one last card. I even talked about this guy last week. I talked about this card last week. He is from Team of the Week. I don't even remember which team of the week Timo Werner the burner is from. Team of the Week four, there he is. He's 242,000 coins right now. I flipped this guy last week from 230s into the 250s to 60s. Look at the last three weeks, 240 to 270, 239 to 265, 238 again to 256.  So if you see this team of Werner today in the low 220s, in the 230s, that could be a possible situation for you as well. Even on Xbox, look, 209, 236. So just keep an eye out for some of these meta popular cards that get team of the weeks that move around every single week that have fluctuations. And of course, keep in mind that a lot of people have, a lot of people will be packing a new team of the week card. So of course, if you see a guy like Tierney, now I think this Partet, like Partet is already up a decent amount this week. For some reason, if Tierney would not get a team of the week today, you might wanna look at this Partet card and be like, okay, he's inflated a lot because of Tierney supposedly getting an inform. But since Tierney didn't get an inform, some people are gonna sell this card off, which then all of your investors go away and then you have a price that has dropped and no saved up supply, nobody to compete with for investing in this card. And you might see a nice rise for a normal weakening rise. If that makes sense, why that could happen. So there's kind of a decent amount to consider this week. It's been a nice rise already for the market. That's why I'm thinking that, hey, I'm gonna wait today and take my chances and see what exactly EA does do with the game today. Or with content-wise and see if they throw something up content-wise that is pretty spicy. They would drain a lot of coins off the market and something like that. That would be something I would wanna take a glance at. Like we have talked about in the past weeks, I've looked at like Jota, I've looked at Pepe, some of the lower tier cards. I'm not gonna say this week that you have to stick to a lower range. But it seems like those cards do pretty solid on the weekly anyway. This Jota keeps bouncing around. The Nikolas Pepe right wing Arsenal card. Team the tournament, there it is. I think he's about 55,000 coins, maybe a little bit more than that. So if you find these guys, they're so cheap that if you find them at three, four, five K undercuts, I mean, you're already making profit and that's part of a Thursday flipping situation itself. So, been eye out. Maybe if we get another SBC player today, that could be a thing. And then of course, as we always say with selling our Thursday flips, when you look to sell these cards, you're probably looking to sell them not Thursday before six PM, unless you feel like a big loading screen is coming. But I feel like we're just getting week two of headliners. And I don't think anything big on Thursday is gonna be that crazy. So we'll look to be a sell time of Thursday night into Friday morning before we see more panic selling into headliners set two for the promo that will come on Friday. But that's always when the market is highest, literally never fails almost every single week unless there's some sort of absurd panic. It's literally Friday morning, early hours, UK, late night, NA is when stuff just gets really rare, stuff gets high and people start buying cards for their weekend leagues to start on Friday. So just keep an eye out for that sort of stuff. And that's kind of like your best sell time for a lot of these items as you're looking for your Thursday flip investments this week. If you have any questions about specific cards, drop them down below in the comments. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it. And of course, subscribe to the channel if you're new. It's been Nate, the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.

Hey, what is up? My name is Rubidium. Today we are looking at the cinematography behind the new movie Sicario, Day of the Soldado. If you are not aware, Sicario was a amazing film that came out in 2015 directed by Donnie Villeneuve and photographed by Roger Deacon. Despite the budget being 30-something million did surprisingly well, though it wasn't exactly a breakout. I think it made 80-something million worldwide. But the producers decided that they wanted another shot at this and maybe with the potential of making this into a franchise. So they commissioned the Taylor Sherrod and the screenwriter to write another script. He came back with this movie, which kind of jettisons, model quandaries and the lead actors and really bases it around the villain and their anti-hero from the first film, Josh Brolin and Benicio Dottoro's characters with, let's say, limited success. But the photography shot by Darius Walski, the same guy who actually shot All the Money in the World, the last film I broke down, is really beautiful. The last time I did one of these, it was like 50 minutes long. So I'm gonna keep it short today. Just pull out a couple of stills from the trailers and the EPK and hopefully this will become a format where I can talk about films that I've seen and the cinematography that I learned something from and everyone can get something from it. So that further ado, this is the cinematography breakdown for Sicario Dei of the Soldado. So let's jump straight in, shall we? Here's a couple of BTS shots, the Alexa XL. He has his little eyepiece on, but and he's got this on some kind of Cine Saddle slider here. He has his eyepiece on, but because he's gonna slide this back and forth to get more of a dynamic shot, he's operating from this little small HD thing. So I actually wanted to start with the daytime exteriors, because there are a lot of these and I think they handle them really well. Here we have here we have Alexa XL with their, you know, master primes on a Steadycam. And if you see this guy, it's actually a diffusion frame, not to give negative feel to the actor, but to hold, and they've got two of them here, hold next to the camera so that in the camera's shot, which is Josh Brolin here, we don't get an outline on the ground of a guy holding a camera. It's really just acting as a sun's water to diffuse the shadow, even though there's, you know, you're not gonna see it in this shot because a lot of dust, but it's pretty crazy to see how we have our op, we have someone spotting him, we have this person running backwards, holding these double two frames. I can't tell what this person's doing, and this is the sound recordist, but they're all wearing ear protection because Josh Brolin is firing his rifle. He probably has ear plugs in. They took a scene that looked like this, so they picked really good overcast days, and then they turned it into a scene like this, where the sky, if we go back to here, they turned the sky to that color. So they gave everything a nice blue tint, pushed everything down, they made it feel much more menacing and threatening. They might have replaced these guys over here, but for these exterior scenes, they picked good times of day or good times of year to shoot where they wouldn't have sharp shadows. You actually see that there is a little bit of a view shadow over here. So they, you know, they picked good times where they would have much more control and they were able to make that into that, which is interesting because you see later on in a different scene, there is much sharper shadows here. This is later on in the film. It's still later in the day because the shadows are so long, but they went with a totally different grade.  They went with more of a almost like fast and furious look, whereas this is a much more muted palette and a much more, you know, a much more somber muted look. Oh, this was just a cool little trick that I thought they did. They have lots of helicopter to helicopter aerials. So we're in a helicopter looking down on another helicopter shot, but it would have been, they had a whole bunch of scenes that take place in the ground and it would have been really expensive because, you know, helicopters are $1,000 an hour to rent at least just for the pilot and the helicopter to see nothing of the camera. So they did a really good job of blending these helicopter shots with these shots, which I'm pretty sure are, you know, there's a crane over here with a light on top that there's a guy operating it who's like swinging it around to make it feel like a helicopter. So they have much more control. Maybe they just let the bounce fill him in from where the helicopter light is hitting the ground. But I thought it was cool how they mixed up, mixed up practical helicopter shots pretty seamlessly in the edit with this kind of faux helicopter on a crane. They also do a good job of, and you'll see this in the final scene. We're going to look at, you know, rather than leaving this horizon dark, kind of populating it with lots of cool action of people swinging flashlights around and car lights. This is the conversation between Josh Brolin and Alejandro. So this is our wide. You can see the whole scene is shot pretty much with one light that they've taped, one practical skirts of paper on to give it some color or something. And we, the whole scene, you know, cuts to and forth between this and this. And there's the other single. So, you know, I can tell you that there is a much larger source over here.   So maybe a China ball. They've even left the lamp in his shot to kind of motivate the light. But you can see how this is a much larger source over here. But, you know, it certainly didn't pull me out of the scene. I didn't think this side was a little bit dark, but that's Darius Wolski's style. The next thing we're going to look at is how production design and the industrialness of some of these sets really lends itself to great cinematography. You have all these in the, the Air Force Base where they're staging their raids out of. Not only do they have these really cool square kind of quasi-tube banks or Kino flow banks. They don't really use to light much directly. They use them as background. And then they have these awesome cages. So when they're thrown out of focus in his close up, you get this really wonderful texture as well as, you know, all these area lights. So he's in a brightly lit place, but he stepped out of the bright into the darkness and we just get this cool split lighting on his face. The same is true of this is the opening mission in Somalia. I've shot in shipping containers before. They all have this awesome striped texture. This is probably a set though. So we have our hooded man, our kidnapped pirate. And then they've done this cool, this interesting thing where they've mixed daylight and red light. They've got two separate light sources and then they've also wet the floor so that we see all this reflection. It made for a really cool scene because you get all these great color contrasts between the red light and the white light. Cool effects in this, in this film. I think where it really shone for me was when they shoot these really, when they mix color temperatures and shoot these really beautiful, evocative scenes right at sunset or at sunrise. This is a really powerful scene where Alejandro is kind of revealing to the girl that he's kidnapped, that it was her father that killed his family.  Well, I guess you could green screen it, but they didn't hear. They probably just sat around and waited for blue hour. They waited for the sky to be just right to get his thing. So we have the light in the sky. We have an off-screen illumination that's, that's keying Alejandro here. Then in the background, we have, we have his key. Then we have this super green background. And then just for fun, we have a golden light in the, in the kitchen here. So you get all these, this wonderful color contrast across the whole, across the whole scene. It makes it really, really pop. It makes it really evocative. Here's another version. I think this is probably sunset as well. This is the opening raid on the, on the Somali pirates, which a lot of it is actually seen, kind of a throwback to the first film. A lot of it's seen in night vision, but we have, you know, again, this, they just chose to shoot at that in that 15 minutes where the sky is almost perfect.  They probably have a, the shadows are very parallel. So they probably have a 10K or a 20K, you know, way, way over here, giving it that nice, that nice filter, like really ping these blacks and give, give a nice deep look. This is the last thing I wanted to talk about. It's whether the finale happens, spoiler alert. And they have this kind of natural ampere theater where it's, you know, it's a, it's a bowl and they bring him here to, to kill him. So they have this, this is sort of, you know, 30 feet above where they are. And they're able to use that to, they motivate it with these truck lights. But I think then they bring it, they brought in film lighting so that everything's kind of focused on this, the circle where things are going to happen. And the main, they keep the practicals of these, this main truck here with the, you know, the multiple headlights and the roof lights. And you can see how they're using this car to shoot over and pick up these boys, which are going to be instrumental in the scene. And they're using these lights to hit over and hit this guy. And then these lights, and these lights here just to give us lights in the frame.  And then, you know, using all this stuff.  But it's really just the edge on this guy that really makes it feel awesome. I want to do one of these a week if I can, because it really helps my, helps my cinematography development by looking at these films and makes me go and watch other movies. Thanks very much for watching, guys. That was my breakdown of Sicario 2's cinematography. Let me know if there's other films that you'd like to see me break down, either things that are coming out on DVD or things that are still in the cinema. I really enjoyed doing this and got a lot from it. Thanks very much for watching. I will see you next time.


Masculine energy is often associated with qualities such as assertiveness, independence, and leadership. It is characterized by having a focus on action and achievement, and the ability to set boundaries and make decisions. When we access our masculine energy, we are able to take charge and make things happen.


Thank you to all the speakers. Thank you to our last lightning talk. And we have just a couple of little notes to wrap up. So there's going to be a reception immediately following this that you all can go join. You have a drink ticket, I think, in your badge. So also, please keep in mind, we have another one of these coming up in Paris. And oh boy, that CFP deadline is a lot closer than I would like it to be. But we would love to see you there if you plan on attending CubeCon in Paris. And we would love to hear your voice if you have something to say. I'd like to once again thank our Platinum sponsors, Calyptia, highlight.io, IBM, CloudFuse, and OpenSearch. And also, if you have attended and you thought this is interesting and you want to be part of organizing one of these, there are also submissions available. You can sign up to be part of the program committee to help review papers, review proposals, and figure out what goes into the content here. And other than that, anything else? We missed it. One more thing. So I have gotten an unusually large amount of requests for slides, in particular for my talk. But so in general, FYI for anyone who doesn't know the system, and yes, the SCAT system of CNCF is horrible. But in the schedule, the speakers have the ability to upload slides. So if they did this, you will find this in the thing. This is how this looks. Just within the session, blah, blah, blah, you go down. And if the speaker uploaded the slides, you can find them here. And I believe all of these sessions, the recordings of these sessions will be available in the coming weeks on the CNC, or on the KubeCon YouTube, CNCF YouTube? CNCF YouTube, yeah. So they'll be able to share your favorite moments with all your friends. Yes, I don't know if they told you, but also when you go to the schedule for KubeCon, you will see that most of the talks are around categories. Observability is one of them. So if you want to go further for sessions that were not here, you might find longer sessions around different topics of observability during KubeCon. So we have more talks about hotel, more about primitives, a fluent, and many other projects such as a EVPF. So the invitations, take a look at the schedule and yeah, don't miss them. All right. One final thing. As most of you probably noticed during the day, we almost always have people standing towards the back. If there's a questionnaire by CNCF, please just write in that Observability Day should get a larger room. Thank you. Well, with that, thank you all for attending and enjoy the rest of KubeCon. Have a great evening.


Copper nanoparticles have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their potential applications in printed electronics. However, their use is limited by their tendency to oxidize in ambient conditions. Several methods have been developed to coat copper nanoparticles with protective layers to prevent this from happening, including organic polymers, alkene chains, amorphous carbon, graphene, and inorganic materials like silica and metals. These coatings allow for the formation of high-conductivity patterns when used in conjunction with inkjet printing techniques. The use of copper nanoparticles in printed electronics opens up new possibilities, such as the production of RFID tags, solar cells, and electro-luminescent devices.

Hi everyone. Welcome to the second not quite annual speed mentoring breakfast sponsored by women of OpenSAC and executive sponsored by Intel. I'm not sure what the right term for that is. But thank you guys very much for getting up so early on a Tuesday morning. I think you should get a round of applause for that. Could we put the first slide up please? Thanks. So we're going to cut out a round of mentoring because we're running a little bit behind this morning. So we'll have two rounds of speed mentoring. They'll each last 15 minutes and in between the mentors will move to the next table. So mentees you can stay where you are and mentors will move. So you've noticed that you have little Halloween decorations on your table with the table numbers. So mentors just move to the next table number. Okay. And then at the end we'll do a short wrap up. I do want to point out that we have a raffle going. So Kendall is going around. You can see Kendall there. She's going around collecting the raffle entries. So we're raffling off this wonderful book written by a woman of open sac and autographed by her. So we have three copies of that to raffle off. Yes, Elizabeth Joseph. If some of you know her she's very prolific in the community. So we'll be doing that in between the speed mentoring rounds. If you haven't already met the mentors at your table you can tell them by their bejeweled lanyards. So they have a little bit of bling this morning. In case you're not quite awake yet and need something sparkly. So if we can go to the next slide please. Okay. So for each of the speed mentoring rounds you'll start off by taking your one of your mentors baseball cards. So I think all of our mentors have a set of baseball cards with their vital stats. Vital stats. I'm not quite awake yet either. The mentors will introduce themselves and then mentees you can start the discussion with questions. So on each table we have a set of suggested questions that you might want to get started with. Carol is our wonderful timer and so she will call time at 10 minutes to go and one minute to go. So when you're at one minute start your wrap up and then when time is called like I said the mentors move to the next table in numerical order. If you're at table five on the technical side or table four on the the career side then you'll move back to table one. And if you have any questions we have lots of great volunteers so Carol is our wonderful timekeeper. We have Megan and Brian and Patty and Amy and Kendall and lots and lots of people around to help if you have any questions so just put a hand up and someone will be right over. Oh that's a good point. Do all of the mentors want to raise their hands just so people know exactly who they are? Cool. Any questions before we get started? All right so round one of mentoring begins now. All righty 10 minutes left in this round. Okay this is your one minute notice so one more minute in this round so start your wrap up and then we're going to have the mentors switch tables one minute. All righty that's the end of round one so the mentors if you go ahead and switch tables go to the next numerically higher number unless you're at the end and then wrap around. How about I hold it yeah and then we're going to go ahead and raffle off one of the books right now. Emily's going to pick a name and Malini. So does everyone have a mentor at their table? Okay round two starts now. Ten minutes left in this round. Ten minutes to go. One more minute to go in this round and then that will be it. One minute to go. Okay that's the end of round two. So we're going to go ahead and raffle off another book. Paul. Paul Poppuses. I'm sure I'm butchering that last name. Paul. Paul are you in the room? You've won a book. All right sorry last raffle of the day winner is Namrata. Namrata Sitlani. I hope I am not butchering your name too badly. Congratulations. So how was it? Good session. Met lots of new people. Cool well we wanted to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers who got up extremely early this morning and fought to get into the room so thank you very much to all the volunteers so we can have a big round of applause for them and a big thank you especially to Nicole at Intel for organizing the Intel sponsorship. So if you haven't already gotten one of these awesome pouches find one at a table that's not claimed or Nicole in the center here has some extras too and last but certainly not least a big big thank you to all of our mentors. It's really early to get up and and be here and offering some great advice so thank you so much. So we will have a feedback link in our wiki so if you just go to wiki.openstack.org and search on mentors or mentoring we'll put up a etherpad link for feedback if you have any suggestions about how we could make it better for Boston we'd love that and we do want to point out that there are a lot of other great women of open stack events this week particularly the breakfast tomorrow sponsored by IBM which Jessica is going to be leading so if you're interested in doing a little bit more networking if you're interested in getting breakfast again show up at same time 730 same room right here. So thank you guys very much and have a wonderful summit.


Okay, welcome back to day three for us. Day two of the conference. We are here live at the Stratoconference with the most authoritative big data conference around the future of the world. Society, technology, and O'Reilly Media is putting on a hell of a good event here. And we're here covering it, SiliconANGLE.com. This is theCUBE, our flagship telecast, where we go out to the top tech events and we talk to the smartest people we can find, CEOs, entrepreneurs, tech geeks, VCs, whoever has a signal from the noise, we want to extract that out, share that with you. This is theCUBE, SiliconANGLE.tv's flagship telecast, and we're here, I'm excited. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com, and I'm joined with my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante of wikibon.org, and John, this is day three for us, it's always a good event. Last year was one of our largest events. Stratoconference, big data, a lot of infrastructure, a lot of application stuff, a lot of really interesting use cases coming out, and so John, let's talk investments. So we're here with Mike Dauber, who's a venture partner at Battery Ventures, which is a very well-known venture capital firm. His focus is big data, he's been in the trenches, he's been making some big investments, personal investments, and Weeby Data, which they changed their name, I guess now, it's officially Weeby Data. You invested in Continuity with Todd Papiano, who's been on theCUBE multiple times, great guy at Yahoo Pioneer, and had to do his co-founder, Jonathan Gray, essentially the guy with HBase, one of the core contributors of HBase. Mike, you're in the trenches, we met online, we chatted at big data conferences before, you're on the street, you're making investments, you're doing personal investments, you get the landscape covered up and down, like we are, we're covering a blanket with the media, you're covering it from a VC standpoint, so welcome to theCUBE, your first time on. No, it's exciting, I've wanted to be on here many times, so I finally made it. So my question to you is, you're doing some real good work, what are you seeing out there right now? The VC landscape is obviously hot on big data, you're not a newcomer, you're not a bandwagon investor, you've been there from the beginning, like Ping Li and Frank Artali and a slew of other ones we've invested in, we've talked with investors, what's going on? I mean, Big Data Fund by Excel was really kind of groundbreaking PR kind of event within the mainstream media, New York Times has big data on the front page, and what's happening? You know, it's funny, right, three years ago, anytime you got a pitch, people tried to figure out how to, a way to put the word green into the pitch, right? You had nothing to do with anything that was remotely clean, everyone wanted to figure out a way to make it green, or they tried to figure out a way to put in cloud. The number of business plans that we just see that just randomly get submitted that have nothing to do with big data, but find a way to put those words in there, it's amazing to me. Is that big data washing? We should coin the term, cloud washing was a hot thing during 2010. Yeah, it's big data washing, but I will tell you what, certainly what we think is going on, what we're excited about is, look at the infrastructure layer, the Cladera's, the Hortonworks's, the MapR's, the world, you know, these guys have already gotten a lot of money. I think the infrastructure layer is going to be built out. I think in Q4 last year, MapR, Horton, and Cladera alone raised $90 million, right? So a ton of money is going to that infrastructure layer. But if you just move just one click up the stack, there isn't a lot going on. I mean like, so everyone can name those guys. Explain that for the folks out there. One step up the stack, what does that mean? So you've got your infrastructure layer, the guys who do commercial support for Hadoop, or commercial support for Cassandra. But if I'm an end user, and I want to do something in an application, right? There aren't, all right, so I got my Hadoop up and running. Now what, right?  You know, really the only company out there that we were seeing last year that really had any level of traction was Datamir. I think Datamir is a great company. I think Stephon is a great job of the company. But we weren't seeing a lot of activity around that. And that was what led me to get to meet Christoph at the time called Odiago. You know, he was someone who was really focused on on-prem analytics. And some of the things that they've done, I think that he's been public about with Atlassian, in terms of targeting, targeting, marketing, and sales activities, Wikipedia, and some of the work they've done with Wikipedia, and figuring out, you know, making sure that, you know, John, you're not going out and editing lots of New York Yankee sites, because we know what you do if you're editing Yankee sites. Have a Red Sox fan. Yeah, you're a Red Sox fan. Rewriting history. And Todd, you know, Todd and John's background, but Todd being from the enterprise space, but also running that, you know, a big chunk of Cloud Infra at Yahoo, we thought, look, there's got to be an opportunity for people to start to build things up the stack, and not just focus on, you know, this base layer. Okay, so let me ask you a question. So Dave and I have, you know, obviously we wrote this earlier, but it's pretty clear from this conference that 2010 was what it said to do, 2011 was big data is a viable business opportunity. 2012 is really about platform maturity. That's right. And the new applications are emerging, as you mentioned, it's pretty green field right now, embryonic, if you want to call that. And 2013 is going to be the year of money, right? People are going to make money, people are going to make money, value from businesses, top line revenue, business models will be changing in the marketplace, not just for the startup companies, but you know, services companies and product companies. So one, do you agree with that? And two, what is the application areas that you see that you wish the entrepreneurs were working more on? So Mike, just to clarify, a follow up on one, we were saying this is the year of application innovation. Do you think we're too early? Do you think it's actually going to be this year or is it going to seep into next year? You're seeing it already this year. I mean, you saw, I saw him stand over here before, Abhi made it, right? Gave a great keynote yesterday at Strata. He was on theCUBE, yep. Abhi's a great guy. If you look at what Abhi's doing with Trasada and their product around mortgages, right? And how they give mortgage intelligence to the banks, right? They don't go to the banks and tell them, hey, we have some big data solution for you. The banks don't care, right? What the banks do care about is improving their mortgage portfolios, right? That's a big pain point for them. And if Abhi can leverage big data infrastructure to solve that problem, I think that's a great application space. I think you're seeing things in the healthcare space. Anywhere where you have large amounts of data that doesn't already exist in a highly structured way, right? Like if I'm Visa, right? Credit card data is already highly structured. I think Visa has applications around unstructured data as well, but you know, credit card transactions, you know, email headers, things like that. It's highly structured data. People have lots of good solutions for that. So we're not trying to go out and reinvent the wheel. What we see happening though is, you know, for 30 years we had this relational data model and everyone built applications on top of these relational data stores. Now all of a sudden they have to deal with relational data and non-relational data, right? And to us, that's really the core of the movement of big data. So anybody who can take an application and play off of this sort of heterogeneity in the market, I think has a great opportunity to make a lot of money. So you mentioned, Trisada, now that's really largely a vertical application for financial services. Are you looking to invest in more vertical applications, horizontal applications, both? How do you see that checking out? Both, you know, so for me, continuity and Weebie data are more on the horizontal application space, but you know, I know of a deal coming down the pipe right now in the hospitality space and saying, look, look at all the data that sits around in hospitality, right? You know, how do you go out and price, you know, think about like what hot wire does and what price line does and all these guys, TripAdvisor gets his reviews, but all these, there's a ton of rich data around who's staying and what hotels and all the pricing related to it, but the hotels are still relatively blind as to how they're pricing their properties, right? And everyone wants to optimize what they're doing. So I think there almost isn't a market that I can think of, you know, the federal government is looking heavily right now at sort of big data solutions. You know, Palantir, sir, I think led the way around security solutions. By guarantee you, there'll be a dozen more companies like that, not necessarily in the visualization space, but sort of the extracting signal from noise. Do you see the applications business as disrupting the existing applications business or largely incremental to what's out there? Yeah, I think a little bit of both. I think there are going to be some cases that are going to be incremental and I think there's some cases where I think you can be massively disrupted. So I think you can, in the same way, look, the enterprise to me always works in these sort of stack replications. So you had a whole suite of enterprise software and now all of that has been replicated with SaaS. And the guys who won in the old model don't win in the new model, right? You know, look at someone like Workday. It was the same core team, obviously, that sold to Oracle, but you have people soft. You need to have a new solution to do that, to do that on a SaaS model. And then the other thing is you get companies like we're invested in Marketo. You know, Marketo is something that wasn't really possible before you had a SaaS delivery model. I think you're going to see the same types of things in the big data space. I think you're going to see there are going to be companies out there that just do a better job of the existing applications because they pull in more data and they're able to give you a lot more analytics. But I think there are also going to be new companies that we haven't thought of yet. They're going to be able to do things that weren't possible before. What's the areas that you're seeing that are venture-backable? Because with big data, there's opportunities to create a lot of slew of different kinds of, I don't want to say lifestyle, but nice little small businesses. We had Scott Detsin on from Pure Storage earlier talking about some of his history of web logic and we had Mike Olson on and we're seeing the 40-something entrepreneur come back, the systems guys, right? Like me, my age. But also Scott talked about this data ISV concept as one area he liked and so you're going to see all these little niche opportunities that look like a feature. It might be a little lifestyle business, it might be service oriented because there's services in here as SaaS or whatever. That might spawn up obviously self-funding.  How do you as a VC look at these opportunities and hey, I want to bank that one. Obviously there's going to be a good market opportunity, but how do you separate and filter out ones that you say that's bankable, that's a fundable deal, that's venture fundable? I think there's two directions. I think there's the market-related questions and I guess there's a separate topic that we haven't touched on yet, which I think is a big deal in this space, which is the talent pool. I don't know if you notice, if you go around the trade show floor here, Facebook has a booth solely for recruiting, right? And I've never been to an event where a company like Facebook has a booth just for recruiting HR purposes. I think it says a lot about what's going on here.  More companies fail because of go-to-market than because of bad technologies. Lots of smart engineers in the Valley come up with great technologies, but what's your path to market? I think there's a wrinkle in this space that's different than any other space I've worked in, which is the separation between the guys that get it and the guys that don't talent-wise. That gap is enormous, right? See, you talk about- Can you give me an example of that? Yeah, I think John Gray is a great example of that, right? I mean, John is, when we announced the funding with our investment partner, Andreessen, John, I got a number of emails about John and people saying, wow, you know, you guys landed John Gray. He's the guy in HBase that everybody knows. That affords you two things. One, it gets you a lot of attention almost immediately. It also gives you the opportunity to recruit other really, really, really good guys who know John and want to work with him, right? And the gap between the strong teams and the almost the strong teams, I think you're going to start to diverge. I don't think there's going to be a middle class, if you will. I think they're going to be the haves and the have-nots. And so when I see a team, one of the key things for me is, who's the core technical team and is that core technical team, is it strong enough to sort of attract other A players? Because there just aren't a lot of people in each of these verticals. There just aren't enough of people out there, right? This stuff is still relatively new. There aren't a lot of good teams out there. So you must love the Cloudera dynamic then. Yes. With that bench. Well, and absolutely. I mean, there are a couple of guys at Cloudera that were they to leave, I think they'd be assaulted by 50 VCs instantaneously. Well, we recruited a key person out at Cloudera and that was a coachable. He's a grad student. Pink still talks to you? Well, he wasn't coming back. He ended up helping me out, helping our data project out. And then he took a full-time job with another company. I mean, very lucrative position. So obviously the talent are going to make some good money. And oh, by the way, SiliconANGLE is hiring a database scientist. So if you're out there, we're recruiting as well. We don't have a booth. We have theCUBE, but. Forget going to work for Facebook. Yeah, screw Facebook. You can work for John. I would say that the analogy I always like to use within my partnership, it's someone should make a movie about this. Right after World War II, we did something called Operation Paperclip, right? It was the U.S. What became the CIA, the OSS, had a list of the top rocket scientists in Germany. And we wanted to make sure those guys didn't fall into Soviet hands. And guys like Von Braun, who led the Apollo 11 rocket project, all came out of this land grab of going out and getting key scientists who just knew this material better than anybody else. There weren't that many people in the world in 1945 that knew rocket science, right? And you had to go out and get the key rocket science. I think we're seeing a rehash of that today in 2012. There aren't that many people who get this core big data. And if you've got a key HBase guy, if you've got a key Hadoop guy, if you can grab someone who knows how to write applications on top of this infrastructure, they're orders of magnitude more valuable than other engineers in the same space. And you're seeing that, right? A Hadoop engineer today can get a $250,000, $300,000 salary. Well, Mike Dowber, we got a break. We got a schedule. Thanks for dropping in. Thanks guys. This guy is a young gun rising star in the venture community.  Completely new industry being constructed from the ground up. You're going to do well. I think you keep your nose to the grindstone as they say. You're going to make a lot of money. Great to see you spending a lot of time in there. So Mike Dowber from Battery Ventures. Thanks for coming on theCUBE. Thanks. Okay.


Hey guys, so I don't normally make reading list updates at least not very often But I kind of just wanted to put this out there So you guys know what I'm working on know what I'm gonna get to soon and also like there's a lot of people who will Give me suggestions in the comments. Hey, you should read this you should read that or have you considered reading this? And I just kind of want to get all this out of the way so that you know like okay He'll get to that eventually and you know just stuff like that just I want to let you know where I'm going and and Man I gotta wait a little longer because I want to pad this out to 10 minutes in one second This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long So what I'm currently reading is the Red Nights by Miles Cameron, and this one is not super popular I'm about 40% done with it. It's it's interesting to say the least.  I have mixed feelings on it so far like it's not awful. It's not great I I don't know you'll see what I mean when I get around to reviewing it And also I don't have it right now, but I will be reading the autumn Republic Which is the finale of the powder mage trilogy as soon as I get a chance I If I get it soon, then I will finish it and then I will read it before I finish the red night So you'll be getting that review first But if it takes longer, then you'll get the red night review first It's just you know, that's what happens and I am excited to read this one though You know, I wasn't a big fan of the first powder mage book But the second one was really good after that we've got gardens of the moon Which is the first book in the Malazan book of the Fallen series and people have been telling me to read this forever it It seems interesting, you know, it's just about an empire conquering its neighbors and shit and You know that that sounds interesting enough. I haven't gotten a lot of specifics about what it's about though So we'll see if I agree with the crowd on that one or not after that We've got the alloy of law, which is you know It's a sequel series to Mistborn if you didn't know so it's like it's on the planet Scadriel It's just a couple hundred years later So technology has advanced and shit and that one I am excited to read people keep telling me It's even better than the original Mistborn trilogy Not sure if I buy into that just because I fucking loved the original Mistborn trilogy, but you know, we'll see from this point on It's not in any particular order But we've got the people of the Raven now some of you might remember that Long time ago easily year and a half ago or almost two years ago something like that I read a book called the people of the wolf and That one was just a story about how the first Native Americans came to North America and this one is a little different it's based around the this Archaeological find called the Kennewick man, which was a skeleton found in the Pacific Northwest somewhere and The skeleton appeared to be a white guy a Caucasian male And it was several thousand years old and they're wondering well, okay, how did How did so a white guy get here several thousand years before contacts between Eurasia and the Americas was made and so That's just like a fictionalized version of how he got there And I actually read a little bit of it a while ago back when I first got it It's it's interesting so far. Well, we'll see how it goes Then we've got on Basilisk station by David Weber and that is the first book in the honor Harrington series And I remember at the beginning of this year. I said I wanted to read a lot more sci-fi Uh, and I just I haven't been doing that.  I'm not gonna say I'm excited But I am optimistic to see where this goes and I've also been wanting to make a more uh bigger scripted analytical video about military sci-fi and I think if I'm gonna be doing that at some point I should read a little more because I haven't really been reading it for the past couple of years And then we've got better to beg forgiveness by Michael Z. Williamson And that one is just that one's just more military sci-fi. You know, it has an absolutely Horrible cover which means that the book itself is either just gonna be the worst schlock I've ever read or it'll actually be pretty good and you really can't tell until you've already read it. So You know, we'll see where that goes. Like I said, I just wanted to read more military sci-fi and I saw that in the store I look why not let's check it out So there's my reading list. Uh, everything is subject to change, especially the stuff later on in the list which I don't have in any particular order and Well, yeah, that's everything we are not at 10 minutes yet
