Hey everybody, welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals I'm Jamie Scott Okutaya here live streaming on the floor of ITW 2022 an exciting year an exciting show 15th anniversary for ITW so congratulations to those guys and I'm joined by a good friend of mine I'll meet Singh of Zenlayer. I meet welcome to JSA TV. Thank you so much. Thank you so much Thanks for having me here. Oh, we are so honored to have you and gosh There's so much going on so much great news coming from Zenlayer Well, let's just tell tell our audience a little bit about yourself your role at Zenlayer. Sure. Thank you so much So my name is Amit Singh. I am a telco veteran for almost 20 plus years of experience and out in Zenlayer I look after the India business So I am the MD for India and my role basically involves to ensure that Zenlayer gets a deeper penetration and coverage across the length and breadth of the country that's what I do and What a great time for to be to be heading up the India operations because there's so much growth going on India We were just there's a buzz on the floor just talking about at the other minute So much growth. Can you provide us a few highlights particularly in regards to the Indian market? Sure. Sure So I think our population which was once once a burden on us as is the growth point for us It's a country of 1.3 plus billion people and Who actually never really got the through blood internet and now with 4g kicking in The country evolving and being a young country, you know, the average age is 27 28 So it's a very young country and now they are getting what they really need to get You know in terms of internet experience the digital experience and the length and breadth It's a huge country and you know, it's an English speaking population We get English to be learned as a as a primary language in our schools So there's a lot of exposure going on in the country and with I'm sure the next big wave would be the gaming part Again, since it's a young country again, people are gonna go on board and and they are open to accept these changes So this is a turning point entirely, you know for a country like us So well said they're young and they want to be online. So great opportunities for us for sure What are some of the factors that are contributing now to the exponential demand for edge cloud services in emerging markets like India? So what's happened now the growth of internet is not constrained only to the tier one and tier two cities now It's actually going into the rural part of of the country, you know So there is a big boom coming there and especially now with online education coming in the kids getting an experience of Using online educations the digital platforms coming in so there is a there's a big There's a big buzz around it, you know So people are accepting and that is what Zen layer tries to fill in that gap by getting closest to the user So we are deploying our edge nodes in tier two tier three cities, you know and ensuring that the end user has an amazing experience You know, so that's what our goal is to improve digital experience of every user You know and that is that such part of the Zen layer DNA I love that about your company and the way you guys are executing you show it every day You show it every day. So what can we look forward to in the coming months over at Zen layer? Oh we keep our growth story going and We've still not done till we improve Experiences of every individual on this earth. So that's our goal, you know, that's our tagline We want to live by that motto and we would continue doing it We would start Expanding more in emerging markets. We will continue with our growth story and Zen layer. That's a DNA You know, we grow. It's just a eight-year-old company and we keep growing. So we'll continue our growth story I can't believe you're only eight you guys that come literally conquering the world like that. That's impressive That is so impressive. Where can our viewers go to learn more? You can ping me. I'm here My team is your Asia pack team is your US team is here. You can visit our website or whatever Just just just ping me on LinkedIn ping me anywhere and I'll be there. That's right I mean sing guys and Zen layer calm. You definitely want to check them out. I'm sure you've heard of them They're taking over the world. So definitely check them out. I mean, thank you so much Always a pleasure and thank you for taking your time out of this busy crazy IDW day. It's good You feel alive, you know after two years coming and I mean it makes you feel good. Yeah Thank you so much for having me.

When we tried it, we're gonna try it.  I'm Evil Revan We are here on fortune Island on the mountain road here in the BMW M4 drift car And we are gonna be doing something today if you haven't guessed by the title We're gonna try to drift mountain one-handed now that involves Basically shifting and everything all one-handed Now I'm gonna try and use my left hand and then we'll try and use the right hand But we're gonna do this all one-handed if I need to pull a handbrake or anything We're still gonna be using both our feet But one hand at At all on the wheel at a time. No, I can't switch hands either It's just gonna be one hand either left or right so we're just gonna Probably start this car in fourth gear And we're just gonna go full-send with the left hand. I'll leave my other hand basically on my lap If we can get this car rolling in fourth, we'll get our fourth gear start pumping out good for the car So this is gonna involve a lot of Clutch kicks. Oh, this is gonna be a lot harder than I thought. Oh my oh This is a lot harder than I thought 900 degrees of rotation Fandatech one hand on snowy mountain roads This is a challenge No, understeer. Come on. Oh Don't lose it This is actually really tricky. I gotta see if we can't there we go see we can't just try and be smooth Kind of let the car do its own thing There we go. So now a little bit and we're getting it Clutch kick. There we go back into it. Oh my this is Not easy. This is a left foot brake to kind of modulate our speed There we go. Oh Too soon. Oh too soon, Junior. It's a problem is I really need Handbrake to try and transition quicker, but we're not Doing too bad right now one-handed kind of just letting the wheel Do its own thing? All right, we did a lot better than I thought on our first time down Problem is I need the handbrake to continue that Or a big clutch kick So downhill left-handed we're gonna try and go up the hill left-handed and Then we're gonna switch to do right hand and see how that goes my right hand is sweaty and I wasn't even using it Get this car into Into fourth gear hard flick in Kind of using left foot brake don't go too soon See the problem is I'm such a high-gear clutch kicking or high RPM clutch kicking doesn't really help that much Gotta use the weight of the car Kind of anticipate timing. There we go. That's much better. We got this. Oh We got it much better uphill right now. I think I'm getting the flow Don't lose it. Don't lose it. We haven't really spun out yet though So it might offense I'm actually doing a lot better than I thought Whoo tries it to yourself here on the G920 it may be a A little bit harder because the wheel doesn't rotate as fast But it might be easier because it's a smaller rim fair enough stock wheel bigger rim is uh Definitely hard to manage but we're managing to Definitely Get this right no handbrake just left foot braking clutch and one hand on the wheel Trying to drift these snowy tow gay roads Yeah, we're almost at 200,000 though going uphill good thing this car can just stay in fourth gear Otherwise, this will be a lot harder snowplow My finger just cracked on the spoke. Oh, I don't know if you guys can hear that that hurt I went to go grab the handbrake. I didn't do it. We did not grab it we successfully Went up left-handed 238. Oh Kind of hurt my left hand. So we're gonna try this right-handed So this one we're gonna be able to probably change gears because a lot easier because next my body so right-handed One hand only So gay road I Said one handle. All right. There we go Don't hit the snowplow. Oh, I think I was better with my left hand. I Was way better with my left hand All right Game composure. There we go. I'll have to car do its thing So I was much better with my left hand and I think that's because when I'm normally drifting and Using my handbrake my left hand is the main hand that's on my rim So I'm used to kind of being one-handed With my left hand for momentary seconds of timing It was a really hard to get without a handbrake. Oh, we tried it. We're gonna try it. Oh Oh, no, oh, that was bad. We almost we're almost able to handbrake entry though.  Oh I was already in full luck All right, so we might be able to use our handbrake with our right hand, so we're definitely gonna try And utilize the handbrake a little bit more. There we go. Oh And snap back nowhere near fast enough 360 for style So we're gonna go uphill But we are gonna try and actually use our handbrake because it seems that we can use the handbrake with our right hand The way the car is set up and we can use it to do a quick flick With it being right here Might be able to use it as a quick flick. So we're gonna go back uphill with our right hand and The Handbrake and see how we can do I got a turn first. We're gonna clutch kick that in first No, nope, nope too much angle Let's get a little Trying to get a little saucy the smoothed out. You're very smooth. There we go Modulate in the throttle quick pull that e-brake and back on the wheel That was a bit too much of a pull. I know I put my other hand on the wheel. I failed but we're actually not drifting so We get back going So make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter give this a chance for yourself. This is actually quite Challenging we should grab the e-brake there, but we are managing to drift one-handed a lot better than Actually thought We were gonna do I stalled the car if I got to hit clutch. There we go Think I was way better with my Left hand. I don't know what the wheel was doing Tried to save tried to continue. I'm trying to use the top of my hand too to spin the wheel a little bit more Trying to just keep as much contact on the wheels I can is actually very interesting and kind of a fun little challenge. So if you guys like this You might see more challenges like this Drop some challenges down in the comment section down below one-handed. I know somebody wanted to see the duct tape death match from Initial D taping my hands of the wheel. That might could be very dangerous But as always Make sure you guys follow me Instagram and Twitter all of which are found in the description box below So now that we did that with one hand. Let's uh, let's rip it down the hill With two hands in this episode off I appreciate you guys coming back and all the support and I appreciate all the comments and everything you guys send You guys are not subscribed I would appreciate it if you guys tap that subscribe button Bell notifications if you want to be one of the first to get the videos when they come out I would appreciate it helps me in the YouTube and out of analytical and analysis or whatever System to get my videos out to other people who are not watching me yet And I'm sure other people would enjoy these videos as well There we go see so much easier with two hands But it was definitely fun doing it one-handed like I said if you guys want to see some other weird challenges here on the channel Whether it be in fours and more sports seven horizon or anything like that. Let me know down the comments. Maybe you know Some other wheel challenges Jeep Just gonna finish this downhill off to end this episode off a little bit of Forza Horizon 4 for you guys Gonna have videos coming out with wheel setups and stuff like that wheel setting changes and everything for Forza More sports seven and horizon here very shortly good people have been asking about that So definitely going to be going back and doing some Kind of settings videos for you guys Sold car so as always I like thank you guys for watching. I'm evil rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track


Republicans candidate for governor for 2014 is running again in 2018. Jeff Johnson announced a bid for the open seat Wednesday. The Hennepin County Commissioner lost to Governor Mark Dayton by roughly five percentage points in 2014. Dayton is not seeking a third term. Johnson won a seat on the Hennepin County Commission in 2008 after serving three terms in the state House. He joined several Republicans in a broad field of Democrats who have already launched bids.

So, women in America tend to be bigger boned than I'm used to in Asia. But these three girls were seated, and I just went up to them and started talking to them. And then I noticed within the first 10 seconds that the girl in the middle, her knees were really high. Like, she's seated on a bench, but when she was crossing her legs, but they were like up to here.  Anyway, we were talking, and then she just said, you're too short for me. Just like, and then there was like silence, no one was saying anything. So I said, just the first thought that came to my mind was, you know, that empowering belief. It takes a stronger man to date a taller woman. So I just blurted that out. And then she said, yeah, that's so true. And then the other girls were like, yeah, yeah, and then they started asking me all these questions. I'm like, pfft, can't even do it on me. So that reframe really helps, but then I needed to do more research, right? Research into men who, for example, I wanted to find examples of other men who were my height who were dating taller women. And then of course, this led into conditioning. So notice the research conditioning pair, right? So an easy one was Tom Cruise, right? So I just started looking at all these photos of him with Nicole Kidman, him with Katie Holmes, and him with pretty much any woman in Hollywood.  I don't think he even tried to hide it. He didn't wear pumps or those concealable heels in the shoe thing. And the girls didn't conceal it either. The girls wore heels. So it was even more monstrous. There were four inches taller than him, but with heels, suddenly they're half a foot taller. But he didn't care. He was just powerful, just there. And I began to condition my mind into seeing that as an example of a powerful man, because he was that much more powerful than the men who were the same height as those women. I conditioned my mind by, I stopped watching any TV show that made fun of short men. I just cut out of my life anybody except the girls I was dating who were making fun of short men. I remember these sitcoms that would make fun of short men. I stopped watching sitcoms entirely.  But you're just attached about her. It might be because you're watching a lot of Korean romance comedies or Korean dramas. That's the case in Asia. I don't know about here. I don't think you guys are watching Korean stuff. Or maybe you're listening to some really sappy songs. You've got to cut that out. So conditioning is both positive and negative. You cut out all the bad influences and replace them with positive ones. So Tom Cruise, another guy who I discovered early on was a guy who dated, let me see if I can get this straight, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Mandy Moore, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Simpson, Rihanna for a little while.  You would probably recognize him, because he was in that 70s show, Fez. Remember Fez? Wilmer Valderrama, right? This guy's like a C-list TV actor, and he was dating A-list teen actresses at the time. This guy had game. It wasn't because he had more status or more money. He was five feet seven Latino guy. And I just printed out all the images I could of this guy, and I started to emulate him and learn as much as I could about him. And this is just identity work. So identity work with conditioning. Other things you can do with your conditioning that you maybe already are doing. Of course, there are your visualizations and your affirmations. In the Oregonian Academy, we have a two-hour class just on visualizations and affirmations. So I can't go into much more detail here. But also the identity work. In an Oregonian Academy, we have a two-hour class just on identity and archetypes.  You just make a list. I remember one of my school friends back in Toronto when I was, we knew each other since 10 years old. At around the time he went to college, he decided he was going to be James Bond, minus the MI5 affiliation. He was Canadian, Chinese guy, a little bit shorter than me. But he just made a list of all the things James Bond could do. And over the course of about 12 years or so, he just went out and learned them all. One at a time, just tackled them all. And that's how, he wrote me in about halfway through to do ballroom dancing in Salsa. But he also learned how to sail boats, he got this yachting license. He skydived, he learned Kempo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, what's that thing, Kendo with the swords. He learned how to fire guns, he learned how to fly airplanes. He learned how to jump out of planes like on a regular basis. And he was an engineer, started off as an engineer in the top engineering school in Kanda. And then went on to do a JD and MBA, he's now a law partner somewhere.  It became his ideal self. And now he's happily married with some kids. And you can do the same thing, actually. And you can do it mentally, not just through skills. So let's say you want to look a certain way, or talk a certain way, or stand a certain way, or move a certain way. How are you going to be that way? The first step is to find somebody who's already doing or living that ideal life. So if you're a shorter guy, you find a shorter guy who's dating taller women, if that's what you want. So that's what I did. I just replaced, in my mind, I inundated my mind with those images. And that's where the Christian spiritual cultivation comes into play, as well as the Buddhist, pretty much any real religious cultivation comes into play. You remove the influences of the world, the carnal world, the sinful world. Don't listen to MTV and all that. You got to throw that out of your house and replace it with the word of God. That should just take out all the pollution and replace it with the good stuff. And it's the same structural framework. I just changed the content. So now it's about how attractive you want to be and what limiting beliefs you want to replace. And another one is race. You wanted to get to that, right? That was a big one for me. Now with race, there are a lot of other things that I could say because it's such a complicated thing. In addition to conditioning, you should think about compensating. Now compensating might sound bad, but let's take it put it this way. If height is one of your issues, let's say you're 20% shorter than the guys you're competing with, well then you should be 20% more muscular. You know, I think if it's sort of like Dungeons and Dragons, you get your intelligence, the strength and all that, and you're maybe low on intelligence, but you can pop it up on strength so you can balance it out. And that's something you can do. You can actually compensate for it. That's something I saw in every area of my life. I wanted to, if I found any disadvantages that I had, I would make up for them in other ways. Now with race, let's take the Asians in North America, Canada. I know that the best, and I think it's very similar to Australia, with Asians in Australia. What are some of the negative stereotypes that Asians have? Well, let me help you out because we're not all Asian here, so you may not realize this.  And what are some positive things though? There's some pros and cons to everything. What are some positive things? Well, the upside is that the Asian stereotype is that they're industrious, hardworking, they're disciplined, they're good with computers, they're good with math, they're intelligent, they're stable, dependable, they're gonna be responsible and mature, and those are good things. And in fact, all of those traits that I've just mentioned are universally attractive to women as the evolutionary psychology has shown. So those are good things. However, you're missing all of the sexual parts and that's where the negativity is. Now, if that's the case, then what you can do is you realize what the pros and cons are as the way the world views you and you can flip that around. One way that this came home to me was when I was in Toronto was a house sitting for a professor in a pretty nice condo in downtown Toronto. Coming home from school, the guy behind the desk, this is my first month living there, he said, hey, our computer systems are down, I don't know what's wrong, can you help us out? Can you fix this?  Like, no, I can't. And I was thinking at first I was pretty offended but then after a few minutes I realized actually that's a cool racism to have. If it's like a positive racism, he thinks I'm smarter than I am, that's not so bad. I'll live with that. And that was the kernel of this thought that the positive parts of it I can keep but then I directly counteract the negative parts of it as soon as possible.  So you could go extreme and you get tattoos and piercings and go real bad boy, writing in Harley-Davidson or something like that, right? And I've known quite a few guys in America who've tried to do that.  And her first thought when she sees you won't be that you're Asian, right? Her first thought will be power, charm, sexy.  But clearly you're not the Asian that she's used to seeing because you don't match the effeminate stereotype. But all of the good stuff is still there because she'll think, oh he's Asian so he must be dependable, stable, intelligent and all that other stuff. Even though that may not be true at all.


Today, we're going to talk about two new features in Bosch, both shipped in fall 2017. One of them is Bosch package rendering, which is modular Bosch packages, and co-located errands. Oh, gosh. None of that is switching slides, is it? There we go. I'm Maya Roscrance. I am the anchor of the PCF Redis tile. Hi. Oh, hi. I'm Maria. Until recently in the PCF Redis tile as well, I'm currently on the team that makes contributions to open search Kubernetes. All right. So just before we start, please have your attention for a quick mandatory fire safety announcement. Please note the locations and surrounding emergency exits and locate the nearest late exit sign next to you. In the event of an alarm, please go on the exit to the concourse area, stairwells leading to the outside of the facility are located along the concourse. And for your safety, please follow the directions of the public safety staff. Cool. So let's move into the first half of the talk, which focuses on co-located errands. We'll walk through the concept of what co-location is in terms of Bosch jobs and how Bosch operators use co-located errands to reduce their footprint of their deployments and their deploy times. Okay. So let's start with a quick refresher of some useful Bosch terminology that will come in handy in a second. So a Bosch job is essentially, well, it's a deployment unit for Bosch. What this means is just a chunk of functionality that a Bosch release offers. And then what a Bosch release is, is essentially a piece of software that is packaged in a way that Bosch can then deploy. There are two broad types of Bosch jobs based on their life cycle. So we have long-running ones, for example, a web server, or the Reddit software that is running on a Bosch deployed Reddit instance. And then we have some short-lived jobs, also called errands. And this could be either one of tasks, for example, the registration of a service broker with Cloud Foundry, or short-lived tasks or scripts that an operator might periodically want to run on their platform, like smoke tests, for example. From the perspective of a Bosch release author, errands look like any other Bosch job, except that in their template, they need to specify a bin run script, which is the entry point for their functionality once the job is deployed. When it comes to composing the Bosch manifest for deployment, so the specification that describes what this job will look like in real life. Aerons also look very similar to any other job. So you can see at the top of the instance groups, we have a long-running, the specification for a long-running instance. And then at the bottom, we have a specification for an errand job. The only difference is that the instance group, so the VM where the errand job will live, needs to be labeled with lifecycle errands so that Bosch knows that it's a one-off task and not a long-running thing. The previous manifest translates into something like that in real life. So once an operator goes ahead and deploys it, Bosch will create an instance and place the long-running process on that VM. And it will just keep running it, no problem. When the moment comes for the errand process to run, so the operator would use the Bosch CLI to figure that and say, Bosch run errand smoke tests. Bosch will then go away, create a new instance, which in Bosch world is almost always means VM for most cloud providers. It will place the errand script in there, will execute it, collect the logs, and then tear down that VM. Now there are advantages and disadvantages with this approach. The main benefit is that it offers an implementation of design of single responsibility in a way. So in this setup, software does not coexist unless it has a good reason to coexist with other software. So that gives us isolation, which in turn gives us very interesting things like security and making sure that processes do not pollute each other, in a way. On the flip side, it's very common for errand scripts to take a few seconds or maybe up to a minute to complete. On the other hand, creating a VM on most infrastructures takes about five minutes or so and is also subject to minimum costs at the infrastructure level. So in the end, this is time and money that's spent that's not really balanced with the amount of time that the errand functionality takes to complete. And five minutes may not sound very much, but when we're looking at running those scripts periodically or when we're looking at upgrading a big deployment like a Cloud Foundry installation with many releases supporting it, then that ends up adding up hours to the process. So then this is the problem that colocation of errands comes to solve. So the main concept here is that the errand job stops being placed into its own VM and instead moves into a VM instance with another pre-existing job. It doesn't get executed until the right time comes, but there is a copy of the script there. So that way Bosch does not create a new VM, it just creates a copy of the script on that pre-existing instance. Once the operator decides that it's time for the errand script to run, they would go ahead and run Bosch run errand tests. And you might have noted that the argument for run errand has changed. We'll talk about that in a second. And then Bosch will go away, find out the job call tests on every instance group where it's located it, execute it, and then go on from there. Let's look at requirements before we see how we'll go about implementing collocated errands. So to start using collocated errands, you'll need a minimum Bosch directory version of 263, which is just in order for your directory to support collocation, a minimum version of Linux stem cells of 34, 45, and above just so the Bosch agent supports the collocated errands on the instance side of things. And then a Bosch CLI of 2031 and above for the increased granularity at the Bosch CLI level. All of these were released, I believe, around August 2017 last year, so they're fairly mature by now. OK, so let's look at what needs to change from the current approach and what stays the same for all parties involved, in a way. So for the release of her side of things, in most cases, nothing much needs to change. So they would still write a Bosch job the way they used to. They still need a bin run script. So in most cases, it's just completely transparent to them. As far as the composition of the manifest is concerned, and that could be either by a human operator or by the system that composes the manifest, you'll notice that the job moves from its own instance group to another instance group that contains other jobs. OK, so there are, again, good things about things about this approach. There are some obvious benefits in terms of time savings and, obviously, smaller footprints means lower costs, which is all good. But it is also a more elegant design for a very specific use case. So in the past, there were deployments where they would have a specific instance with responsibilities to reach out and perform a task on many other instances of the deployment, but not the deployment as a whole. So something like that, really. A very common example is health checks. So we would have an instance that gets configured with a bunch of endpoints and a bunch of credentials for those endpoints, and would reach out to each and every one of them and run a specific health check or a clean-up script or whatever else. This now, with collocated errands, can be converted to an architecture that looks a little bit like this. And what that means is that each and every one instance now has the logic on itself to perform these things independently, in a way. The flip side, and things that places maybe where collocated errands do not make much sense, the main concern here is isolation. So as far as Bolshe's concerned, a collocated errand is just another process on that instance. So at the very minimum, it's worth taking a step back and considering what is the risk here for me when I'm collocating an errand script with another long running and maybe business-critical piece of software on my VM. It can be security. So for example, I might need to consider don't need to change my access, don't need to think about the data on the VM. It can also be considerations around pollution, for example. So when errands were not collocated, you would have a brand new VM to run your errand script on. And then when the errand finishes execution, all logs and things will be taken away in the VM stripped down. That's no longer the case. So it's worth considering what side effects I have, what sort of logs remain on my VM, et cetera. On top of isolation, another consideration is that you now might end up having multiple copies of the errand script, because Bosch will place a copy of the script in every instance of the instance group that the manifest specifies. So there could be scenarios where this is a requirement, like we saw before in the health checks. But it might not. And in the second scenario, it's worth considering, first of all, is it OK? Is my errand script important and doesn't care if it gets called multiple times? And if not, can I leverage the more granular Bosch CLI to better control how many times my errand script is called? Some approaches that we've seen, apart from the Vanilla use collocation everywhere approach, are the following. So a lot of operators have used a hybrid approach where they've got deployments with some of the errands in their own instance groups and some others collocated, so that you sort of get the best of both worlds. Specifically, in process isolation, some operators have used things in combination with collocated errands. Bosch Process Manager is one of them, which essentially adds a layer between the monit process manager on the Bosch VMs and the actual operating system to make sure that processes are namespaced and they don't interact as much with each other. Something else that's also quite common is the usage of more granular commands that the Bosch CLI now offers with collocated errands. And we'll have a look at those in a moment. OK, so invocation can look just like it did before collocated errands, mostly. And what I mean by that is that Bosch run errand x is still a valid command. However, it might have slightly different side effects in a way or slightly different results that you're expecting to. So before collocated errands, when you said Bosch run errand tests, Bosch would look for an instance group called tests and would run any script that it had on it. Now when you say Bosch run errand tests, Bosch will look for any job called tests on however many instance groups you've collocated on and run all of these. As I said, this might or might not be OK. If it's not, you can say, I only wanted to run once. I don't care where, but just once. So you can use the dash dash instance flag and say, I wanted to run on the first instance of that instance group. You may want it to run on all instances of a specific group. So you can say, again, I wanted to Bosch run errand tests on dash dash instance broker. You may know a specific instance that you wanted to run on. And again, you can say instance broker and the instance GUID or in a set of many specific instances. And again, you can extend the previous sub-command and pass exactly the instances that you wanted to run on. OK, so a quick recap. We looked at how collocated errands have allowed for faster deployment and smaller deployment throughputs and how they become a trait of isolation versus speed. And then Maya is going to take you through Bosch package rendering. All right, so we're going to step down an abstraction layer from errands and jobs down into packages itself. So this is also a new feature only supported a few months ago. If we kind of step back a bit more and look at what is a package, packages basically wrap source code and binaries and provide them to jobs. Jobs do kind of your process start, stop, and watching. And then it eventually goes into a Bosch release and then it gets deployed onto a VM. Bosch-vendored package really only makes sense in wrapping binaries, but we'll kind of touch on that a bit more. Before the benefits of vendor packaging really come apparent, it's kind of good to contrast it with what the existing flow is. So to start with, if you want to pull something like GoLang into your release, it's a multi-step process and you can kind of walk through it pretty quickly. So download Go, you're going to add it to your release, then you upload it. At this point, you have a blobs.yaml and a final.yaml that points to where in the blob store this thing lives. Typically, this is off your computer somewhere, but it can be local. And then you have to actually provide it to your jobs. So running this command generates this tree of files and then you populate it. Your spec file will specify any sort of compile time dependencies and the files that will be actually included in your package. And your packaging file will actually set it on the Bosch install target. That's a highlighted line there. And in this case, it also has to untar it. And then in order to use it in your job, all you have to do is specify a package and then you can just move VARVICAT packages and it's there. When you create a release with a tarble path, you'll actually just see this package binary in your release.  So if I ask you as like an operator of 10 releases, oh, you know what, two weeks ago, Golang released a one, 10, one patch. So now you have to update that everywhere. Well, you actually have to repeat a large chunks of those commands we just ran through. And you have to do that across all of them. The other thing is you can name it anything you want. So some will call it go, some will call it go, one, 10. Some of them might still be like go, one, eight. And it's actually not that at all. So there's no naming convention and you kind of have to like figure out what it is in all these different places. All right, so now we'll go to the Vendored package flow. This is a two step process. So the first part is you're actually going to copy it down locally. And this release has already uploaded the binary to a blob store. I think these are actually in S3, but we'll get back to that. And then all you say is Bosch Vendor dependency. And what this will do is it'll copy a spec.loc file into your release and that will point to where it is in the blob store. And then you can just use it in your job like normal and you get the exact same thing as you did from the previous steps. Currently, there are five managed ones. They're in this open source repo. I think go, one, 10 might have just been added. So the other point to bring up is that the docs were redone like a week ago and so at least the vendor package docs went from like 10 lines of explanation to like 40. So kudos to that team, but. Another reason to use them is they all support kind of like cross OS. So in them is a Linux binary, a Darwin binary and a Windows binary. So that you can be sure if you're pulling this in and some other team is pulling this in, you're at least looking at kind of the same strain of things. It also simplifies package packaging. Since it is an atomic command, you can kind of script it and it will like bump multiple times but without anything really changing unexpectedly. And it standardized package interaction.  Now these packages all, for the most part, will ship with something called a runtime M or a compile time M, compile M. And basically this will do all the sourcing for you. So it's no longer up to each boss release author to kind of figure out what they need to be doing to interact with these packages. I don't know how many people have seen this error before but it used to be that Bosch could not tell between two packages even if they were identical if they had the same name. So we would give you this error, Bosch cannot currently co-locate two packages with identical names. Awesome. Granted, in November, 2017, Bosch 264, they did ship a feature that says if they are identical, they have the same fingerprint, then it's okay. But, and then the text at the time is to rename one to go one, nine, one or something else, that's not the same. In terms of requirements, you have to be fairly recent with both all your versions. In terms of when not to use them, sometimes the old flow does make sense. If the package is wrapping your source code, it may not make sense to make it reusable. Also, if you need specific control over patch versions, it may not make a ton of sense. Right now, for the going release, you can only specify major and minor. If you need patch control, you're kind of on your own there. Another pattern to bring up is job co-location. Jobs do the start and stop and process management for you. So if you have some sort of requirement, like all my VMs must ship with syslog drain functionality, maybe you don't want to use a package and have to manage that yourself. Or if many versions are valid, sometimes you don't just have the latest that you want to patch with everything. Or there's this thing, there's only five of them, how useful is this tool really? I'm gonna say that's not really an excuse. They're actually really simple to make, so we're gonna cover that next. All it is, basically, is a Bosch release. If you're gonna do anything to the path, you'll probably want a compileM than a runtimeM. And then you just need to upload binaries to some sort of blob store. And this could be a private blob store or a public one. You just have to be willing to share the credentials to it with anyone who's gonna consume this invulnerable dependency. Let me try to drag this over. Oh, that's not working. I have to keep losing my mouse. Well, I can't see what I'm typing, so I hope this goes well. I'm actually using a tool called doitlive, so it doesn't really matter what I type, as long as I can explain what's going on. Actually, do you mind just typing as I, okay. So basically, like I said, it's just a Bosch release. Just hit enter. Smash the keyboard a bit more. These are executing live, by the way. They're just, keep going. Nope, keep going. All right, so this is, we need the Linux strain of this. I'm gonna try to deploy it on Bosch Lite, so. Keep going. Enter. Keep going. So, this kind of looks similar, because this is the exact same flow to add a blob, like you would normally do. And here's the tree. So this is a little awkward. Keep going. Basically, I'm just making the Genco binary executable and adding it into my Bosch install target. Yep, copying the Genco file in, and then saying I'm gonna use a local blob store for now. Upload it. And you are required to create a release. All right, and that is literally it. Granted, I probably shouldn't have called a Genco. I probably should have called a Genco Linux, because that's what it really is. And maybe I should have included a runtime nth, because ultimately, Genco's gonna be a little better to interact with. It's already on the path. Oops. And what I wanted to demonstrate, is that the vendor package command? I do that. All of a sudden, I have a spec file lock, and it points to my release. That's it. All right, in conclusion, can I switch slides? So vendor packages allow you to create more reusable modular packages. And so basically, the toil of it isn't spread among every single Bosch release author. It's also a great space. If you are a open source contributor and you're looking for something to do, there's a lot of things that would really benefit from this tool. Yeah, and they're not that hard to make. All right, with that, I think we'll wrap up. And if you have any questions, yeah, probably. So I don't actually know who maintains them. I know the CF, Capitan, I believe, manages the CFCLI binary. I don't know how up to date they keep it. The Golang, I know it took like a week or two to actually ship, but I don't know if that would change with the CVD. I believe, however, they are sort of open sourcing away. So if it's something that folks are, if there are requirements in terms of maintenance, like anybody can PR and contribute the latest. But as far as I know, they're not officially supported at the moment, at least. Point it to your blob store. Any other questions? Hello? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so the question was, has anything changed in terms of deployment logs when running errands? I don't believe so at least at the moment. So I think the fact that you cannot run multiple things against a deployment is still the same at the moment. It's just the only thing that has changed with collocation is where that script gets run. Yeah, so the question was, can you collocate multiple errands on the same VM? Yes, you can do, you have a complete flexibility of where these things run. Just the one really, the one big change compared to the previous setup is that you now have to call them by job name, not instance script. So you need to just remember what your errand job is called. I think we're actually out of time, but if you have any other questions, come talk to us afterwards. I believe there were a few resources, if you'd like to have a look at that. I think the slides will be uploaded later, but other than that, thank you, and yeah, enjoy the rest of the conference.


Hi everybody, we're back. This is Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org and this is theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's flagship product. We're here at Strata. theCUBE is the reference point for innovation. We go out to the events, we extract the signal from the noise and try to bring you our audience feel for what the event is like. This is probably fourth or fifth Strata that we've done and it really is the big data event. And now SiliconANGLE this year has entered into a new partnership with O'Reilly Media and we are actually doing theCUBE at a number of events this year with O'Reilly and very pleased about that. And today's segment, one of the themes that John Furrier talked about earlier was just the importance of visualization, tools for the trade, actually getting big data into the hands of business people. And visualization is a key enabler for that. And we're here with Ben Connors, who's the worldwide head of alliances at Jaspersoft. If you don't know Jaspersoft, it's kind of open source BI, doing a lot in the visualization space. Ben, welcome back to theCUBE. You were on, I guess, last year at the Cassandra Summit. So welcome back to theCUBE. Thanks, delighted to be back here. Yeah, so as I was saying earlier, visualization is a key component of putting value in the hands of users, of business people. You know, people often talk about monetizing big data and you really can't do that without allowing the tools of the trade to get into the hands of business people. So why don't you just give us an update on Jaspersoft, what you guys are up to, and we can get into the whole visualization thing. And I know we have a demo as well. Looking forward to that. Great, happy to. So first of all, thanks for having me. You're welcome. Delighted to be back. Yeah, so let's talk for a minute to your question.  We do reporting, visualization, analytics, dashboarding. On all kinds of data. We started out in the relational database world and address all the traditional data from Oracle, MySQL, DB2, what have you. But we have expanded now and provided our front end visualization, dashboarding, reporting products to the big data world. And we cover a whole range of big data products ranging from Hadoop to Cassandra, to Google's BigQuery, to Amazon Redshift, to MongoDB, et cetera. So quite a broad range. What we're trying to do is really bring the rich set of visualization tools people have come accustomed to for their relational databases and make those same products available for the big data world. Because the way we see it is, to your point, it's really not about the big data, it's about the value from the big data. In fact, I heard an interesting comment on that, which is that we as an industry shouldn't be talking about big data. We should be talking about big answers, because that's really what it's about, is driving the value. And visualization is a key component to that for business users to really get value from and understand what the meaning of the big data is, get the big answers from it. We do that, by the way, in a couple of ways using our visualization front ends, we'll take a look at. But we're also big into embedding. And what we like to do is, through open APIs and so forth, make these products available from within the context of familiar business applications that people don't have to go elsewhere to try to figure out a new tool set, et cetera, but rather present the information from within their established applications and business processes. So you've just recently announced this capability for the cloud on AWS, right? So, I mean, this is like, I look at this, Ben, it's like the infrastructure, the plumbing, you know, you're ticking some of that. Really, the more interesting things are what you're doing in terms of putting data into the hands of business users. Why has it traditionally been so difficult? Okay, so that's a good question, and that's for a couple of reasons. One is the industry has grown up around SQL, around the relational database, and big data often doesn't provide that kind of capability to access the data.  And still, you see survey after survey, even today, that says that most users are not making use of big data, not big data of business intelligence, period, that it's penetrated only maybe 5% of the community. Other than say Excel. Other than Excel, exactly, yeah, which has its own challenges, as we know. And the reason for that is because business users don't spend their days in BI tools, nor do they want to. What they're about are their applications that are presenting information to them in a way that is meaningful and contextually relevant. And that's what we're trying to do, is bridge that gap by embedding the BI within these application processes and help to permeate more of the community that way. Okay, so I think it'd be great if we could see an example. I know you have a demo. I do, be happy to show you. So what we're going to look at here is, and because of some technical challenges, I'm going to try to spin this around and see if we can get it visible on camera. And let me just peek. So what we're going to see here, and I'm going to talk while this runs, is an example of Jaspersoft in this case being used with, if we can see that, can we, there we go. In this case being used with Amazon Redshift. This is a product we announced just a few weeks ago. As you know, Amazon Redshift is a big data in the cloud, service that is very scalable and interestingly accessible through SQL, through traditional SQL. Jaspersoft now has our products hosted in the Amazon cloud. And so anyone can go up there, pull what's called an AMI, an Amazon machine image of Jaspersoft and do exactly what we're doing here against Redshift or even against their own data. In fact, we've done some benchmarking and from the time you decide to use Jaspersoft to the time that you can provide the kinds of visualizations we're seeing here is less than 10 minutes. Start to finish. So take us through that process. You got a corpus of data that you want to analyze. What format is it typically in and does it matter and how do you get it into the system? Okay, so in this case, what we're going against Amazon Redshift data as I mentioned, but this could be from Amazon RDS, which is Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, traditional, or it could be from your own data as well. Now- So I could have a CSV file or- Exactly, yeah. And Amazon has a lot of infrastructure. They spend a lot of time doing things like the virtual private cloud and the data pipelining, various ways to move the data around either within the Amazon cloud or even from getting it behind your firewall and on-premises they have some sophisticated ways to do that. What once you do, what we're doing here is providing interactive visualization. You see this is all HTML5 based, very interactive. And although if you pay attention over, where am I? Sorry, over here, you'll see some dragging and dropping of various parameters and you'll see the graph change. So this kind of thing that a business user can do on the fly without knowing anything about the underlying structure. In this case, by the way, note some of the response times we're going against a billion and a half rows of data. This is big data. This particular one happens to be a Natality data set. So this is of all the bursts in the US over some 50 years and sorted by mother's age and father's age and smoking and baby's health and all kinds of interesting things that, for this example could lead to some interesting, for example, medical policy issues, et cetera. But the fact is a billion and a half rows, very fast response time and we cash the data once we query that big data set. You see now it's going, got a billion and a half rows sorted out. We now have that data cashed, makes it very interactive, very easy. So how difficult is this setup for a business user to set up the parameters? Okay, yeah, so in this case, what we've done is integrated with the Amazon infrastructure and we do something called auto discovery. So what that means is that an organization that already has data in the Amazon cloud will go out and find it automatically.  We present it, you click on, in this case, I want to see the natality data and boom, we use your credentials because the credential login is all integrated and you're up running and you're just picking and choosing from our metadata layer, which is this part, which is providing meaningful business names to what might otherwise be underlying cryptic. And that's auto classified, essentially, you go out, you just look at the corpus of data and you magically somehow categorize it and then present it in business terms. That's right. What's the tech behind that? Is it some kind of SVM or semantic indexing? So we're using our metadata layer. It's a, we use a relational database to essentially catalog the information, map it and provide security so that you can't see my data, et cetera. All that's done behind the scenes. So you built that from scratch, which is non-trivial. I mean, that's a, it's hard to make things easy. That's right. You know what I'm saying? Exactly, that's part of our value add. Submit the report, you say, if I had more time, I would have made it shorter. Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, so talk a little bit about the product suite, you know, where you are in the maturity of the company, maybe, you know, customer profile, a number of customers, things like that. Sure, okay. So, Jestsoft is, what, about 10 years older or so now, we're around 200 people, headquartered in San Francisco with offices around the world. We have a product suite that includes everything from ETL products for extract, transform and load of data sets to a server with security, scheduling, et cetera, to front-end visualization tools to report builders. So it's a full BI suite. We're actually the most widely installed Ben Stiller's product in the world. We have, gosh, about over a quarter million members of our community. We are both open source and commercial subscription license. We have over, what, 160,000 customers and deployments. And increasingly, a lot of those are big data on everything from Hadoop to MongoDB to Redshift now to Cassandra and you name it. I mean, do you see that as the future of the company or a nice little niche for you guys? No, you know, I have a personal bias here because my baby, my focus is big data in the cloud and that's where I'm spending a lot of my time but I really see that as an interesting uptake and I think that especially as these kinds of tools, JasperSoft and others, make the data more accessible, more available to more people, you're going to see big data becoming the core, the back-end of more and more systems. So I really see it as the future. And the key is, as we've talked about earlier, to get that capability, that visualization capability in the hands of business users. And so that's a vision that you've put forth. You're starting to realize that how far are we into that game? Well, I'd say it's early days but I'm very encouraged. So we have now people in, for example, not only web analytics but financial service fraud detection, environmental monitoring, et cetera, putting these very large data sets to use. So I think that we're going to see it more and more. It's probably still in the early part of the growth curve but it's a way of the future and I think we're about to hit an inflection point. And talk about the ecosystem leverage and strategy. I know, I think you were up at the Green Plum event yesterday, Jeff Kelly saw you up there, you mentioned. What's the ecosystem strategy? Obviously it's critical for a company like yours. Talk about that a little bit. Okay, so we are very open source from our foundation and that permeates into everything we do, including access to multiple data sources. So our ecosystem includes the traditional relational database place. It includes virtually all of the big data sources. It includes the cloud. It includes system integrators who are bringing the value to customers. So it's quite a broad mix and we're delighted to make the technology available to the broader community that way. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of talk about, for example, you're seeing a lot of talk about bringing real time to Hadoop, which really isn't real time, but let's say it is for a second, bringing integrating SQL and NoSQL. A lot of the demos will have a visualization component. So are you working with all the sort of major platform vendors? I mean, we talked about Green Plum.   It's MapR on and on and on. So talk a little bit more about the platform. Yeah, so we do integrate with virtually all the major platforms and we provide some additional value in a couple ways. Number one, for the SQL players, as you mentioned, it's fairly straightforward with our connectors. We've also done something pretty unusual and that is we've written custom connectors to the major NoSQL data store. So let me give you an example. MongoDB from TenGen. Not NoSQL interface to it, but we've written custom connectors to the MongoDB data structures, the JSON data structures, and you can use the kind of products we just saw on the screen a minute ago directly against Mongo to provide real time analytics. So no ETL required, which is quite unusual in the industry. Usually people say, okay, if you want to take NoSQL, first thing you have to do is move it over to SQL, which kind of defeats the whole purpose.  Exactly, we go directly to the NoSQL data source. And with their Amazon announcement, you can buy it by the hour. No upfront cost whatsoever.  Visualization by the drink, folks, excellent. All right, Ben, well, we're out of time. Thanks very much for coming on. Appreciate the demo. Good luck with everything and we'll see you next time on theCUBE. Great, Dave, great to talk to you. Thanks. All right, everybody, keep it right there. We'll be back with our next guest. Bill Schmarzo is in the house, longtime CUBE alum and the Dean of Big Data anointed by John Furrier at one of these conferences. So keep it right there. This is Silicon Angles theCUBE. We'll be right back after this. This is the O'Reilly Stratoconference and we're covering it wall to wall. Keep it right there.


Why is the largest ancient structure on this entire planet attributed to a king who only stands out because of this attribution? Khufu did not build the Great Pyramid and the likelihood is that none of the dynastic Egyptians built it and our timeline of history needs addressing as a major cultural influence has swayed us from the truth regarding the past But not to completely dismiss Khufu as having built the enigmatic masterpiece that is the Great Pyramid What else do we know about this king? Who was Khufu for example and how has he been portrayed as a king during his reign? First of all nowhere does it say what the Great Pyramid is who built it or why? The Khufu cartouche is a hoax and the paint has already carbon dated to the 19th century So the Great Pyramid therefore is not attributed to this king. It was made up for prosperity a Proprietist that dated to the time of Khufu are some of the most dramatic texts from this dynastic period the Westcar Proprietist named after Henry Westcar who acquired it Describes fantastical tales that have been described by Egyptologists as just fairy tales Now get this this Proprietist is an open invitation from the king Khufu He invited his sons to tell the stories of the past and the wonders of the ancients This was a test by Khufu to his sons The king taught his sons about these times of old and it was a good exercise to see how well his sons Could remember what they had been told so these texts are historical documents of past events in every sense Make no mistake the beginnings and endings of the Proprietist are missing But the stories convey wonderful stories of dynastic events Jozer and the architect Imhotep are mentioned and that section of the tale which is preserved is a set piece which also appears in the next two stories in which Khufu approves of the tale told and Decrees an elaborate sacrifice he made to the people in the story In one of the tales Khufu is confronted by a prince named Hardidif who says to the king that You have heard examples of the skill of those who have passed away, but there one cannot know truth from falsehood But there is with your majesty in your own time one who is not known to you This prince then begins to tell the king about the existence of a magician named Jetty Believe it or not who had lived for about a hundred years and has an unbelievable consumption rate He tells a king that this magician is known for reattaching a severed head to a human body and making it live again This magician could resurrect the dead according to the prince in the west car papyrus When the prince brings the magician to Khufu the magician tells the king that it is against the will of God to kill a Man to Demonstrate this magic and instead cuts a goose head off and reattaches it boom miracle Khufu is astounded and Seizes the opportunity to pick the ancient brain of the magician Regarding one of the ancient secrets the king had heard about that being the knowledge regarding the number of shrines in the enclosure of Thoth the magician tells the king that he does not know the secret Only where they are kept and that it is written in sacred text that a future king will be able to bring them a Future king that would replace Khufu's family in dynastic Egypt Khufu's interest and acceptance of the magical things would suggest that this was a physical Presence in these times of this great empire But it is entirely unclear exactly who he was because very little remains in any form Regarding his reign if you exclude the great pyramid then Khufu is almost non-existent except for these scant texts a Strange little fact regarding the historicity of the fourth dynasty of Egypt Remember, this was the time apparently of the pyramid builders yet in the five volume 1500 page ancient records of ancient Egypt which is indexed by dynasty and Pharaoh and Includes texts transcribed from ancient documents and artifacts yet in these volumes They include only 13 pages on the celebrated pyramid builders of the fourth dynasty. Why is that? Well, that is because very little is known and a lot is made up and spread out to the masses in an indiscriminating fashion a very dangerous practice that has blinded us for millennia According to Herodotus the Egyptian people hated their king Herodotus says that Khufu was despised the people couldn't even speak his name and during his reign Khufu enforced labor. He was a tyrant according to Herodotus in the book the pyramid odyssey the author states that there simply are not enough historical markers from this period and To describe this era in our time was very dishonest because there is no clear and solid evidence of any kind That there was a pyramid building fourth dynasty king called Khufu in fact The entire pattern of evidence suggests on the contrary that if there ever was a king Khufu He lived long after the great pyramid was built and was named after the pyramid and not the other way around Khufu isn't the king. We are being told that he was He wasn't someone who could master incredible feats of engineering brilliance that still has the modern world and complete bewilderment As to how it was done Khufu instead was a dreamer entertained by his own advice questioned by his own authority and despised by the people he ruled over however Later rulers remember him maybe because Khufu set the bar so low that no other ruler could do any worse And all other pharaohs thereafter are more influential over their population of residents What does constructing the greatest monument in the entire world get you? Nothing because he didn't do it Maybe the artifacts were looted lost to time Maybe the identity of Khufu is one that is shrouded with mystery and there is no defining image of this king The bizarre reality is that the only artifact attributed to this king is a three inch tall ivory statue that was discovered in 1903 it bears his name But even this is the subject too much controversy the statue was discovered headless ironically But get this they didn't find the head for over a month after the body discovery and some have suggested that this is another Hoax just like the cartouche again We are confronted by an artifact that we are told what it is What if this isn't Khufu? Khufu the king is lost to history We hardly know anything about him apart from tales that could be fantastical for his entertainment and the evidence is Totally underwhelming to put it politely But perhaps we will uncover more objects attributed to the king that we are yet to discover But in the meantime isn't it now obvious that the evidence like our understanding needs re-examining The son and successor to Khufu Judephora assumed the title son of Ra He was the first king to do so Khufu doesn't show and reference to the Sun God Ra But the presence of the solar barge next to the Great Pyramid that he didn't build Appears to be an extension of the solar cult however in the 1974 book the Sphinx and the megaliths in the ancient Egypt's myth the author states that Ra the Sun God Himself was born anew every morning from an egg The author points out that the hundreds of egg-shaped stone circles in the United Kingdom Which appear to date from the same period as the cult of Ra may represent the spread or Origin of the God known as Ra a God synonymous with Kunim the God Khufu is named after Judephora isn't attributed with a pyramid at Giza But it is attributed by the Aburah wash pyramid which may be taller than the Great Pyramid and The association with this pyramid to Judephra Khufu Sun is every bit as tedious as the association with Khufu being the Builder of the Great Pyramid. It's unbelievable that they are associating Dynastic times in Egypt with much more ancient constructions There is no real proof that any fourth dynasty pharaoh built anything more than mastabas or small satellite pyramids that Served as adjuncts to existing pyramids in our surmise the fourth dynasty pharaohs were simply Restoring the pyramids and other structures for ceremonial purposes engraving hieroglyphics after the restoration During the 19th century in an ancient temple directly beside Khufu's pyramid Archaeologists discovered a stela with an inscription clearly showing that the pyramid and the sphinx must be older than Commonly accepted by Egyptology the stela states that Khufu built only a small satellite pyramid And that the Great Pyramid and the sphinx were already in place when he came to Giza This is very important because it contradicts all opinion about Khufu as the builder of the Great Pyramid in the inscription Khufu builds a pyramid for the princess next to the temple of the goddess ices The Great Pyramid and the other two large pyramids were already there as was the great sphinx and this was King Khufu himself stating this the stela in question was classified by Egyptologists as a fake however a Translation of the text by American archaeologist James Henry Breasted suggests that the text reads as follows Khufu who is given life He found the house of ices Mistress of the pyramid Beside the house of the sphinx on the northwest of the house of Osiris Lord of Rasta He built his pyramid beside the temple of this goddess and he built a pyramid for the king's daughter Beside this temple So there you have it very little solid contextual information exist if any To suggest that Khufu could have anything to do with constructing the Great Pyramid In fact, it would seem this king was in all of its presence during his reign It is astonishing that this king is being attributed to the construction of the Great Pyramid and we wanted to build a better Picture for you guys in our understanding of these things and why we can't believe that he built the greatest masterpiece On the face of the earth nothing exists to suggest this was the case in fact the evidence suggests the opposite But what do you guys think about this anyway comments below and as always? Thank you for watching


We'll see where we're at tomorrow. Uh, Tim. I'm just kidding you kind of talk through what your game experience was last night watching and how did you think stretch and Craig and the staff did? I was in my basement watching on TV.  Um, you know, I don't think we played particularly well. Um, certainly not the way that we need to try to play football games to win, but I felt like they handled it well. John, John. And Mike, you know, um, cuts were always going to be a challenge at the wide receiver spot anyway, because of the depth and quality. Can you talk about what, you know, injury and, you know, the COVID situation with McMath, uh, complicate that situation at wide receiver? Yeah, man, I think we'll get to that, um, you know, here in a couple of days. But, uh, it's been a group that's been competitive and, um, you know, they all do a little something different. They all try to bring a little bit different value to the team as far as what their role is and they on the kicking game or, uh, what role they play in our offense and, you know, it's certainly been a competitive group and one that, uh, you know, I think has improved and, you know, there's just a lot of different, you know, a lot of different options there for us as we try to build a roster in a couple of days. Uh, Trump. There was a coach with the D line situation and how that competition is working out. Can you tell me, you know, where you see those guys and also with Danico Autry, we saw him working a little bit with the outside linebackers throwing individuals at something that you'd like to have go on continuously? Yeah, I'm in the competition.  Um, and it was all, you know, really good to see Danico out there. You know, I thought he factored on that short yardage play and, you know, did some other things that were really good.  And if, you know, sometimes that those positions are asked to do something a little differently, and we'll try to get them to work there as well. Okay. Yeah, coach. When you look at the running backs position with, um, Darrington not being out there, the past couple of preseason games, Mackay, sergeant has definitely stepped up and made the most of his opportunity when it comes to these cuts. I mean, what are you looking for, for a guy like that who's kind of on the fringe, you know, really goes back to the same thing for, for most everybody, um, you know, is what their availability has been, what their durability looks like, what other jobs can they do outside of theirs? Um, you know, we talked about that a little bit last night with, with Kari on the radio, you know, Kari played special teams, he played some third down back, carried it on third down and he protected and he played full back. So that's just one example of, you know, a player at that position that, that did a lot of different things and, you know, filled a lot of different roles. Okay. Mike, do you go ahead and begin some of the roster trimming process today, or do you guys want to see as many players, uh, out there, uh, a full squad as much of a full squad as possible, uh, for tomorrow's practice?   Uh, Steve, Mike, what have you seen from Caleb Farley since he's been able to be back and join with you guys in terms of his progression and what do you hope his role can be as the season gets underway and he's still in this learning process? Well, I'm not going to hope and wish for anything. You know, this isn't Christmas. This isn't, you know, I don't have a wish list. I just want Caleb as well as a lot of other guys to continue to work and develop, make progress, um, show development.   Uh, Paul.  Is he have something now that likely factors into his fate? Uh, I think he's got a limp like he mentioned. Uh, Chris Hartz. Hey, Mike, uh, either quarterback last night, do anything to separate themselves in your eyes as far as that backup job?  But, you know, those guys are competing and I thought they both settled down well and allowed us to give us an opportunity to win the game. You know, unfortunately we couldn't convert there at the end, but I think they both kind of settled down and, you know, certainly got into a flow of the game and kind of what we were asking to do. We ran a ball really well in the second half, you know. Again, that group in the second half, that offensive line at battles and competes, uh, through a lot of, you know, a lot of stuff that, you know, those guys don't feel great either, but they're finishing and, you know, allow us to evaluate guys and really, really proud of that group again.  I'm just curious, going through this week, which I'm sure you never imagined you'd have to go through, what has been the most difficult part for you?   I want to be there to coach them and help them and, you know, try to, try to leave this football team and try to, try to do my job in person. Teresa. Mike, uh, now you've got two weeks essentially before the season opener, but, uh, A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, Ryan, haven't had a whole lot of time together in camp. And now Ryan's on the reserve list. Any worries or concerns about, you know, making sure these guys are clicking together when the ball kicks off on the 12th or with them having the experience they have, does that maybe ease whatever, you know, lack of practice time that they didn't get this preseason? We believe practice is very important. So, you know, we'll have to work through that. We know what the situation is. We, we know what it'll be. We know when they'll, you know, their availability will be at least Ryan's. So, you know, we'll have to, uh, to make up for, for lost time. But as it relates to, to how we feel about practice, we feel like practice is important. Terry. Yeah, Mike, kind of along those lines with, with all the uncertainty of COVID and I know you dealt with it last year, but does it kind of make everybody have to be more at the ready and the next man up mentality come into play even more as you get ready to start this season? Because not only do you deal with injuries, but you deal with, you know, guys who maybe they're one day and then, you know, gone the next because of COVID. I mean, if we haven't done a good enough job explaining to these guys and getting guys ready to understand that, since the time that I've been here, you know, I don't know what, what more we would be able to explain them. Like, it's the nature of this league. It's the nature of life. If stuff happens, you have to be ready to take advantage of your opportunity, whether that's injury, you know, something happens during the game, COVID guys are unavailable. So I think that we've tried to, you know, impress upon everybody that, that if they're here in whatever roster, whether 53 man's practice squad, whatever it may be, that if they're here, that they're expected to be ready to go at a moment's notice. And so I think that there's been a lot of examples in three years of that happening, and I'm sure that there'll be, you know, more examples of that happening as well. Well, yeah, Coach, do you have any update or latest in regards to Ryan Tannehill and his situation where he is? I would say that in regards to all those guys in the protocol that, you know, they're working their way through. And they, you know, no real update, but I would say that they, they're following along the protocol and we're in constant communication with them. And, you know, I would say that everything is on schedule. Ben? Hey, Mike, how would you assess the training camp and pre-season overall that Des Fitzpatrick had?  He seemed to have a good week and Tampa had some good, you know, recent practices and then, you know, seemed to have a drop in the end zone yesterday. Just how would you kind of assess what he did and where do you see him at this point? Um, did I use displeased or did you use that term for me? What you had said was, well, the way you had said when you were asked about... I think I said one word, I said a lot, right? What would he have to do? Oh, yeah, a lot. Yeah. Correct. Okay. Because see, I know, like, I get on here and now's the chance for you guys to all ask me all the questions. You know, I'll stay on here as long as I can. I got a staff meeting after this, but it's a great chance for you guys to get all the questions that you have. You know, I got a lot of time, so I get to follow everybody's social media accounts. Now, you guys all have a lot to question and say on social media. And so we should use this time now that we can interact and get all those questions answered.  And Matt threw him a great ball. And that was one thing that we've been preaching on these guys about just the route craft on some of those overs. And Des had a really, really cool route. And I think that that's something that showed improvement. You know, I think he recognized that it was match coverage and ran a really good route. And, you know, Matt got him the ball. But there were just some other examples last night of, you know, finishing or playing when you don't have the football in your hand that, you know, we have a high expectation for our receivers. You know, whether that's on screen or somebody else catches the football and that you're trying to, you know, you're trying to do everything you can to get them the most yards as possible. And that may be different from where Des was in college, but that's something that we think is really important. You know, if you don't have the ball in your hand, it's how you play when you don't have the football in your hand as a receiver or running back. John, go ahead. Mike, for those of us who might be a little math challenged, can you return to the practice field on Tuesday or Wednesday? You don't think I'm just as math challenged as you are? Oh, I think you've got a high level to go if you want to get with me. You know, it took me nine years to graduate from Ohio State, right? I don't know, whenever Sal says I can come back in. You don't know? I just said whenever Sal says I can come back in. Tim? Like I know, it sounds like you've been watching tape. You've been in communication with coaches while you've been gone. What are players that are on the COVID list able to do at this point if maybe you're not on Zoom and how are you able to communicate with them? How are they able to stay, maybe up to speed? Text them all every, you know, a couple hours, wake up, run through the tests, text them, check in on them, text them at lunch, you know, text them when the game was going on. But they're able to be on Zoom and meet. You know, I'm sure able to get outside and try to just at least, you know, just get some air. And I think that, you know, as they pass through the protocol, we're getting back and we're getting them working and evaluating. And one more on the fire. And if I can, just what's the challenge of the practice week this week where you've got roster moves coming up? You're still a week away from Arizona week. How do you spend these next four days to keep advancing? And I think try to focus on conditioning, try to focus on technique, you know, things that, you know, make a huge difference, you know, we believe in the outcome of games and how you prepare for the season. You know, obviously we'll have to, you know, start getting some work in on Arizona's or preliminary work and, you know, how we may want to play, you know, prepare to play that football game. Last one coach, Jared Stone. Yeah, Mike, kind of in reference to you, I guess, wanting to kind of discuss opinions that we may or may not have. One that I had was regarding the back of quarterback. How much of that is who you trust the most not to turn the ball over if they were to have to go in a game for Ryan? And how much of that is which guy would give you the better chance to move the ball down the field, push it down the field and maybe win a game throwing as opposed to not necessarily playing it safe? Well, we've won games here with a lot of different people in a lot of different ways. You know, Jared, I think that's the one thing that we've tried to be able to do is see who's available. You mentioned the word trust. You know, we think that that's an important element in anything that we do, whether that's with the coaching staff, whether that's a trainer, any player that goes out on the field for us, we have to have, you know, a level of trust that he's going to go out there and be able to do his job. And he knows what to do. He's going to play up to the standard that we expect. And then he also has to have the trust of his teammates, which is the one that's absolutely the most important. So whoever we put in the game, we're going to have to have trust. That quarterback and running back, we're going to hand it to somebody we have to trust that they're going to take care of the football. But I think as far as my teaching to the team, it's going to be really easy to explain some of these things that we turn the football over, didn't get any turnovers. We were efficient on third down. We had some third and longs, but there were too many penalties, all these things that we ran the football, but we lost the game. And I think that you can see that when we play to our style and what we believe is important, we can have success. So, you know, there's a lot of different ways to win games in this league, whether it's pushing the ball down the field or running it, or however you have to play it. The job is to win and find ways to win. But trust is a huge factor in every position in an organization, especially a pro football team. Have a great Sunday. Have a great Sunday, guys. I appreciate it. See you tomorrow. I do feel better, Teresa. I feel fine. I feel great.  It wasn't stuffy. That was annoying. Stir crazy. Don't get started, Kayla. See you. Take care, Mike.
