Hey guys, it's Leanna and I'm here today with Amanda, which is unusual. I know. I'm not sitting where I normally sit. I'm not alone. Forever alone. I have whiskey instead of coffee. Yay. So today we're going to talk about how I made Amanda read the blade itself, but it was in retaliation because she made me read two which turned into three bodice rivers. Well, two of them were bodice rivers. One of them had magic and stuff. True. It did kind of start as me being conniving and being like, I want to force Leanna to read these books because I like them because our reading styles are similar a lot of the time. It was a Venn diagram, but there's a lot on the outlying sides of this Venn diagram that don't match. I'm accurate and I force Joe Abercrombie on a lot of people and she forces Tessa Dare on a lot of people. So we just decided as friends to pleasantly force one another. Yeah. Just like she forced me to drink wine on her channel and the link to that video is down below on the Naughty Librarian and I'm making her drink whiskey. I like never drink hard liquor. So I feel like things are about to get real weird. Cheers. Yay. Yum. Maybe a lot of that face. So hopefully you didn't make that face when you read the blade itself. She's been real secretive. I know some of her thoughts, but not like complete thoughts. So Amanda, how did you feel about, it's not even on camera. I had, I pulled out every edition of the blade itself that I own. This is the one I read. So let's play with this one. All right. Okay. This is the one I read this edition because I bought the fancy one because I did like it. I liked it enough that I went out and bought it from Book Depository. So it came from like Europe. From Europe, guys. From Europe. From Europe. Which is where Lord Grimdark lives. So it's true. I ended up giving this four stars. I'll say that. Let's just start top. Four stars. I gave it four stars instead of five stars because I don't know what the plot is. I don't think there was one. Probably fair. I also gave it four stars. So I felt better when you said that at the end of the day. I was like, oh, me too. Like my secret. I'm like the Joe Abercrombie girl that like people tell me. It's like one of the top things that I hear from people is like, I read this because you recommended it. And I'm always like, it's like my all time favorite four star read. I love the shout out of it. Four stars. It's a very long prologue to what I'm assuming in the next two books is the actual plot. Seven, eight hundred page prologue. I feel like in general, because like the trilogy, like it's like, it does get to like, there's like a reason for everything on a plot and like by the end of it, like you get it, but it does like kind of meander and the other books kind of do that a bit too, which is why I praised kids on the camera. I don't know if you can see, but best serve cold is the standalone that comes after the trilogy. And like it's like all of the like punch of this trilogy condensed into a single book. So it's just like like all of that no meandering, no time for that is just like nonstop action. Stabbing. And it's the main character is the female, which is refreshing. Is it is it like a character we met in this? There are characters, the main female character you didn't meet in the trilogy, but there's like a lot of other characters in it either that are like working with her on because it's a revenge story. So she assembles a crew to like kill seven men. And so some of the people in her crew are from the trilogy. And then some of the other people that are like adjacently mentioned or appear like you kind of recognize from the trilogy. So it's like not a direct sequel, but it's like in the same world. Yeah. Okay, got it. But that's not the one you read. That's not the one I read. We did this with the romance books yesterday, all of the segues. So the blade itself, which I'm not going to keep holding up like a weirdo. So we just know what we're talking about. We want to hold close the things you love. It's true. It is a pretty book, but play itself. I think the best way to describe like my thoughts about it is just to go by character because like I said, there's not really so much of a plot. A lot of things happen.  Amanda has named and I will forever refer to it. So there's this character named Zell. I was swallowing at the same time and they said that. Did that help? No. So there's this character named Gizal without swallowing during saying his name.  And I remember texting that to you like immediately.    And then like, but like by the end of the book, you still feel like, okay, like maybe there's hope for him yet. And then you're like, oh, maybe he does like have some real feelings and he's going to get better.  So at the end of the book. This is an Abercrombie book. So anytime you think that a character is like redemption arc. Oh, they murdered someone again. Okay, that's just kidding. That's another thing. I feel like that a lot of the humor in the book is just like, isn't that the most fucked up thing you've ever seen? Oh my gosh, like that's the joke. Or it's just like characters that you think you have like a good grasp of who they are. Like Logan, I kind of got the feeling towards the end of the book that Oh, Logan is this guy who keeps getting forced into these violent situations, but he's very much tired of violence. He just kind of wants to live his life. And then he's like, it's true.  He's going to headbutt a gun to death and have a ball. Nope, he just likes killing. He's not like tired of it really.   Just kidding. No, there's nothing like explaining their behavior.  They're just the people that other fantasy books are usually making the bad guys. And here we're like, nope, we're going to follow them. Them heroes. Or like West. Yeah, he's like the most heroic-ish. That's what I thought. But I was reading the whole time, like, Wes, I think I have a grasp of this character. He's like genuinely like kind of like a hero character. Like he's trying to do his best. And he's like a good guy. And he's like, Oh, really? Hold my beer.  It was just one thing after another. It's just like he like lulled me into the sense of like feeling safe.  So who hurts you, Joe Abercrombie? It's probably like in interviews, like people have like asked him that before. Basically been like, do you have like a really traumatic background that like all of this is just catharsis for?  He was like, so that's where all this comes from. It's like all of like, my life is the most boring thing ever. So he's like every like depraved thought he's ever had puts it into a story. Yeah, I mean, there's the violence is like intense. Like, well, there's no sex in the first book, right? Is there? No. Okay. I mean, Giselle wants to with that one girl. This is like he does. Joe Abercrombie does put like sex scenes into the thing, the trilogy. I think it's in the second one. Is it with Logan and that that wild lady? Spoilers. But point me, I feel like they're gonna bang like they just are. Point being the banging is just as grimdark as all the violence. I can see them banging in it not being good. My favorite word which encapsulates it is squelching, much squelching. I like to read some fluffy rom-coms every once in a while and there's no squelching. In my video where we discussed the bodice represent made you read, you actually kind of liked a couple of them. Yeah, I did. So that's like a preview if you want to see Liana read outside of her comfort zone and actually like it. Yeah, I actually did. No squelching involved. No squelching. Well, like and we did totally talk about this in another video that like some of like the like the scarred hero type person in the rom-com. I'm used to the scarred hero being like the center of a grimdark fantasy like Logan nine fingers. So like it was so weird for me to basically have Logan but like he's a duke with like a wife and they're banging and making jokes. I'm just like, but I know he's like a grimdark tragic hero. But also comedy. Basically. Lovey-dovey. It's taking one of these characters and putting them in a completely different context. Basically. The sex had zero squelching. Very very romantic.  Yeah, it wasn't Abercrombie fucking. I'll save myself here. Acquire the taste. Eventually when I drank it up I was fine. But okay. So now tell me about my favorite character. Sand and Glockta. How did we feel about Sand and Glockta? I kept thinking the whole time that dentures existed. But for every other tooth? Yeah. Someone can figure that out.  Like I'm just saying. Dentures existed in this like time period. They could have figured it out. Maybe not in the world of the first law. They didn't invent dentures. Then no one gets teeth. That's like the one thing I'm just like he could have fixed this. That's like a fixable thing. The rest of his body's pretty damn broke. I mean you can't fix the rest of it and that's unfortunate. But like teeth were fixable. I guess it may have been just like a why bother when everything else is also broken. But then he could chew. I guess. I mean it's a fair point. Yeah so that yeah. But anyway Glockta likes to grin at people with his horrendous missing teeth grin. His jack-o-lantern smile. So like it's kind of like also a thing he uses on purpose to like unsettle people. Yeah well Glockta I think used to be Giselle when he was young. And now he's just like I am a creature. I like to always say that Glockta is like Jamie Lannister. If Jamie Lannister got like broken AF and came back and was like well. Well I'm missing most of my teeth and a lot of other parts. I don't know good. I don't like oh no. I'm sorry. Then I just started thinking about what else he's missing. So then I just went down that rabbit hole. I'm like everything. He did something wrong to his junk. Play his. I don't know if he has it anymore. You find out. He kept saying he has to sit down to pee. So I'm like oh well sorry. Cheers to your junk Glockta. Yeah so you can tell I read a fair amount of romance if like the first thing you're thinking like but does his junk work. I mean especially if I feel like even in a grim dark fantasy or like any kind of like man centric fantasy that does like frequently come up also. Yeah. His dudes like pairing. He comes up. Not for Glockta. Not for Glockta. Moment of silence. But like like I said I read so many romances. I'm just like where's his like who's gonna love him anyway. Why did I think to myself like when I first read it that Glockta because like okay for people who don't know.  He's like a mess and then he comes back from the war because he survived that and the government's like what do we do with you. So they make him a torturer. So he like tortures confession. An inquisitor. An inquisitor. And so when people like he's like he knows how to torture people because it's been done to him. Yeah he learned firsthand.  What could you possibly do to me? That was not already done to me. But I feel like if this was not Joe Abercrombie like if this was written by like Terry Goodkind or if it was in a romance novel Glockta would be like kind of broken but like some part of him would still look good and then you'd have that like redemption like female seeing that he's like fine and he'd like. Yeah or you'd have it be like in Treat Me where the guy is like literally a freak show. She's like listen I've seen corpses so I've seen worse. Glockta like doubles down on being awful. He likes to torture people that's like his thing and I mean it's kind of the only thing he has going but then he has that one scene with West.   But it turned out like his friend did try to come see him. West who I thought was a nice character who then like horribly beat his sister and like strangled her. Speaking of how did you feel about Artie West? Artie West um like the main female character of the story. I am so I would want to read a whole spin-off where she's the lead of it. She's definitely in like more. Fascinates me endlessly because I don't know what her angle is.   I know everyone got like a boner for her apparently.  Yeah but then like and then just all would go on and on. He's like well she's not really conventionally attractive but like I'd banger and then like he starts to like really really like her eventually.  So like I don't know I don't know. Anyway Artie I don't know what her angle is yet but I'm so fascinated. Oh I can't wait for you to read the next books. I ordered the next books I tell you. And I ordered these editions so they match. They're so pretty too. Friendship. I want her and Glock to like team up on stuff. No comment. Well they were teaming up at the end of it. Mm-hmm. But then oh but Glock is leaving isn't he? Yeah yeah okay. Anyway everyone's leaving at the end of the books. Everyone's going off in different directions. True.  I just need you to not like die because like your brother's cool. Pretty much.  But his internal monologue is just like so snarky and sassy and just like having none of it and live for it. Like anyone who's ever been frustrated at work is like I feel you Glock. Yeah I feel you. I like the wizard. I can't remember his name right now. Oh Bayez. Bayez. He's like the only character that like didn't like shock me you know what I mean? Like I understand that character.  I said yet. I said yet. He's like well he's kind of like the conceit of the trilogy is kind of taking traditional fantasy arcs and tropes like the hero's quest, the wizard, the like broken hero, like the broken knight kind of thing and kind of shitting on all of them. So like Gandalf type who's Bayez. He's not exactly like wise and benevolent and like you know he doesn't really make you feel. He's like R rated Gandalf. He doesn't really fill you with a sense of like everything will be fine because Gandalf's here.  Yeah but that's the thing like he's like as a character I understood because he's always just like kind of snarky and like cheating and being in thick and like that's his like thing because he knows when it comes down to it. He's gonna win any fight he gets into because like he's also horrifying when his magic comes out. I was gonna say like that was one of the things that like I don't think I really ever talk about when I talk about the books or like with people who I convinced that like Huey Joab probably writes magic it's not in it much and when it is it's like really unsettling and you're just like yeah oh don't use it.   Yeah and they're kind of trying to like convince him it was dogs he's like but it was the people so he's like a person of undeterminate sex or age was eaten to death by another person that's all you know.   Doesn't pay to know.   What was Giselle's name? Fuckboy? I mean I also really like appreciate how and you'll see more of obviously Giselle's character in the second and third books he probably has the most thorough like actual character arc where like he's not the same person from the beginning as he is from the end um but that said like I just I'd like how like you're in the headspace of him where he feels totally righteous and justified in being better than everyone else around him he's like how dare you waste my time I'm attractive I'm rich why should I have to do anything I don't want to do. I'm gonna get my G-raggin and drive away like it's like that. Like when he's expected to train for a tournament he's just like why? Why? Haven't you seen me? I'm handsome.  That's some real self-loathing right there. Glock doesn't like himself now but he doesn't like. He didn't like himself even then either. It's like but the ladies liked me and I missed that.  We're gonna have it in this book or a later one where like someone is like asking making him get out of bed and I think he's shat himself again and that's in this one. Well probably again.   That probably happened. That happened and I think he does do weird things in here to his practicals who are just like we don't know what to do now. They're not smart but they're fairly reliable. Yeah. I feel like the way Glokka talks to his practicals is a little bit like in the book of Harry like the Harry Potter books the way that Harry talks to Dudley when he knows he's making jokes that Dudley doesn't get to insult Dudley. That's how Glokka treats his practicals. He's like I know you don't understand what I'm saying and I'm insulting Don't worry I'm hilarious. So yes I did just compare Sand and Glokka to Harry Potter. To future Harry. I don't think anyone's ever done that before. You're welcome. Logan, Sand and then Dissol and then the Wizard those are like the main characters already in West but they're more like tertiary characters I think and then like Logan's pals. Who else? I don't know I'm just gonna talk about the wizard. He's the only character that I really genuinely kind of like. I feel like his condescension. That's the exact word I couldn't think of.  I don't know why I waste my time with you I know so much more than you. Yeah he's always like so comfortable in every situation he's in and he'll say like weird stuff and just be a complete jackhole like to everybody but he's just like in the end like I'm going to win this fight like he's like so comfortable with everything so I just like his vibe and he's also like and then he like he blew up a wall naked and I was like that's a lot.  That's how like little Gandalf's like really chill but then when he's in in Bilbo's house and he's like all of a sudden like darkening the house and being like Bilbo Baggins.  It's beyond my team still plays to him.  Like guess let's go. I feel like that's Logan's attitude towards life most of the time. What have I got myself into? What is happening? Okay so like I said there's not like a ton of plot here yeah that's a lot of like there's all set up pieces and yeah little like pieces so I don't really know what the story is about at all yet. I know it has something to do with these north the king in the north guy who's going to invade I forget all the character's names like immediately. There's a lot of characters. There's a lot of characters. Like what we call you like the forehead guy and the forehead guy and then like the lizard boy. Anyway they're not from this book they're from something else. They're from Teen Wolf. It's totally relevant. Teen Wolf really likes this show friendship. Anyway so king of the north guy. King of the north guy.  He's like I'm going to invade England or whatever. It's England instead of England. I'm like okay he's like are you going to invade over there? He's just like no that should be mine. They do. Yeah and the fantasy story is more land. Must be mine. And he sent that like weirdo guy who's like stabbing himself saying I'll duel you for it. I'll duel you for England. He sent like this demon guy so I assume that has something to do with something and then the wizard guy he's just like oh we got to get in that tower. I got to grab this thing the seed and then there's this like who's that the slave woman? Oh um I forget her name. I'm pretty sure her and Logan are going to bang and it's going to be terrible but anyway we could find out. Anyway he keeps saying something called the seed and I'm assuming she's related to like the maker somehow and he's he's going to do some magic with her. Like I read the book. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Okay I'm trying to find her name. I swear it starts with a V. We're going to find it. We're going to find it. Keep talking. Oh look. Oh I'm thinking we must guess her name. I've read this book more than once. Oh it's a pharaoh. Yeah that sounds right.  That's the berserker chapter and I know he's with her so I'm like yeah because even she's like holy pharaoh. Yeah you're right pharaoh. She's like move pink.  She's she's not very friendly. Yeah she's pretty prickly. She's like female Logan I'd say you know slightly less terrifying like she doesn't go berserker at any point. But she was cool with it when he did. I mean it worked out to her advantage and it got them out of there. They're kind of friends now. It's handy. I just feel like they're going to bang and it's going to be terrible. Squelching. Much squelching.  It's going to be bad. I don't think anyone has ever had good sex in the Ever County book. I mean if anything like that does happen you're like the only reason this is happening is because something more terrible is about to happen. The only reason this is like anytime anything good or seemingly good is happening you're like this can only mean bad things. There's no way he's letting this actually be like happiness. No. Does Giselle ever get with Arty? No comment. Just tell me. I'm going to watch it. I didn't want to google it. Well to find get with. Like she said she would wait for him. I don't think she's going to wait for him. And then I don't know if he's going to like she's probably going to have sex with him but not like want to be with him. Correct. Knowing these characters I'm just guessing. I'm really going to guess in the future. It's not like redemption in wedding bells if that's what you're watching. Is he just going to be really disappointing in bed? And she's like I don't need to be tied down to that. It's more Ever County than that. No comment. Oh poor guy. No enough poor guy.  He keeps getting me.  Because he's so pretty. Oh one of the these like mass mic so this is Logan on the cover. UK mass market paperbacks. They have this is a glockta on the cover. Okay. I want to see. And then I like I feel that's like kinder version of glockta that I wouldn't be smiling. No I'm just like that's even like not horrible. Like I picture like he's gollum. Pretty much like that looks like he's a human. You know what I mean. He's like very cut off though. So the gollum part is yeah no like his face. He doesn't look like he has like a mudflap for a face. Like I feel like that's like kind version of glockta. I feel very vindicated in comparing like well I guess I mean like compare glockta to the Jamie Lannister but Giselle's kind of Jamie because this is Giselle and he looks just like Jamie Lannister. I don't picture Giselle like that either though. But he's definitely like yeah like you know I picture well like this is not going to make any more sense to you but like whiskey um so whiskey makes sense to me.  I picture him the same way I picture Cassius from Red Rising. Okay. They're like the same face to me kind of like a curlier blonde head. I just feel like Cassius is actually like like good like stuff and Giselle is like possible but also rich and attractive. But he's like good at stuff too. But he's not that good because he like he was totally like going to lose his duel and he doesn't want to train like he's like ight. But then he's like won all those battles in the end. But well the wizard did cheat. The wizard did cheat. But like fighting against that like behemoth guy I'm like no one's going to win. He held us out though. Not relevant. Sorry we went off on another series of lives. You watch my channel you also read Red Rising or you should expect to hear it reference. That's in our center of our Venn Diagram. We both literally have Abercrombie and Red Rising books like mushed together in one section right there. That's in the center. You know that's like a commonality book. But yeah so he's like Cassius to me. I see that.   Cassius is the better of the two men. But like I feel like they're similar. The way I picture Cassius is the way I picture Giselle. By the way I'm going to bring this up because I sent you this text when I was reading Giselle. I was going to ask you about that. So there's this song by Lizzo called Because I Love You. Go watch that video. Listen to the lyrics.    I will have that sound like song playing in the background. When he finally changed my Abercrombie experience. He decided he's like in love with Addy. Not that he knows what love is really. But like that song is like perfect. I'd play it but you have monetization so let's not get demonetized. Okay we'll look it up. You have homework. We'll put a link. We'll put a link to it in the description. You'll do that. For Amanda's video followed by the soundtrack you need to listen to when you read Giselle's chapters in the book. You're gonna have a lovely Saturday. Changing your life fact. One book at a time. Yeah so I mean this has pretty much been a success because you went out and bought the trilogy and I ordered like two of the three books that I read from the video down below. So Amanda made me read. Yeah you know read something you're not usually wanting to read. Sometimes you find something really cool. You didn't think you're like find a friend who will make you read their favorite because it can work out. Leon has gotten me to read a lot of books so this was kind of me being a Slytherin being like I'm gonna make you read these. I did and bought them so there you go. I bought a lot of them. You maybe read Radiance. Which Radiance. Radiance. In Treat Me. I read a lot of books I know that you said like you're not reading this Jack of Ape. Well it's because you read romance and I have like two romance books that I know. Here you go. Read those. Now we have something in common. Yay. Now okay so the books I made you read are by Tessa Dare and I will say and Alona Andrews but you didn't like that one so we're just gonna pretend like that didn't happen even though this is one of my favorite books. Anyway Tessa Dare. I talk about Tessa Dare a lot on my channel. She writes historical romances but they're legit very funny. They're very funny. Like for someone that reads Grim Dark to go read that and still think they're funny and kind of good. Well also like as I told Amanda like one of my favorite things in the book that she tricked me into reading because it wasn't one of my assigned reading books but it was like the next book and she was like I brought it with me. Kate you want to read it and I was like I did kind of slide the book at you and be like so.   I'm intrigued. You've had me Wednesday Adams. So if that's a trope wards that kill their dolls give me more of those please creepy children. This is a fantasy romance trope that I'm I'm here for. So yeah I think that does it. So moral of the story read outside your comfort zone for real like you too Liana do it more but also read the first lot trilogy. I'm going to finish it. Yeah check out the video down below which is on Amanda's channel us doing wines and bodysurpers. I did drink a lot of wine like it was like we finished the bottle and then I spilled by wine at 1.2 like it's kind of messy. She did not finishing it. One for the homies you know. So anyway yeah check out Amanda she's fabulous. She posts videos way more often than I do so if you want like regular content not like months a week if we're lucky then definitely subscribe to Amanda. I post videos on Saturdays so like and subscribe and I'll see you next Saturday. Okay our brilliance. I'm going to do intro talking. Yes we know what we're doing.


Disaster movie that's not over dramatic and stupid Hey guys, this is my review of Deepwater Horizon now Admittedly, I was kind of on the fence about this baby because Peter Berg was doing this I do admit that the last time Peter Berg did a movie Yes It was really over dramatic and completely false from what actually happened However, I still very much enjoyed that movie and I think that Berg found his niche with talking about True Act stories So when he said he was going to do what about Deepwater Horizon, I was kind of on the fence I wondered if they were talking about the global effect of what exactly they talked about in In a sense they do talk about the end The main focus of this movie is what happened to the oil dwellers on the platform They even had the event What happened to them was scary Now the only thing I have from an actual point of view of knowledge from the oil No, scratch that, not knowledge Reference to another time that a film has ever talked about Oil platform You can see the blood that was about the oil time And the oil filling your veins The arm again, the same, the oil filling the beginning I can't believe I'm referencing that That's all I've seen I bet you after a month have already saw this movie You're like, whoa, could have had way more explosions on my oil platform Seeing that I'm again Either way, this film does a lot of good with talking about what the aspects are Do you understand half the gibberish that they're saying? No, but at least they're trying to get into that moment They're actually trying to be realistic to what happened Now this is inspired by Which obviously means certain aspects didn't happen as they did in the film But the one thing that I did like about it is though, is the fact that While Mark Wahlberg is the main, he's the top bill He's not the main character Sure, he's one person that you follow But a lot of time is spent on the other groups Mind you, do you remember really any of their names besides Kurt Russell And the girl from Jane is the Jane the Virgin? Not really But you still get an aspect to see what each guy did What each person went through And how they survived Not all of them obviously This film does pay homage respects to the element who died in the very end of the film As for as a disaster film though Now we have a lot of experience with their sort of disaster films Like The Tiring for Independence Day All these sort of ideas of a certain event A disaster that happens to you Now the one that I always spent A lot of people always give World Trade Center a bit Like bright, not really that great But you don't want to talk about different aspects of it And that's what I liked about Deepwater Life Once it is in depth as say, Sully was No, because Sully wasn't very much character piece This was about the centerpiece of what happened And the film was very enjoyable It's very interesting what happens is You'll drop your jaw several times of what these guys went through And overall the film was very entertaining I liked the characters I kind of liked how John Malkovich wasn't a douche He was not the smartest of BP representatives But I still liked that he was kind of a person Who was willing to understand things Even if he didn't really think it through vice Basically he wasn't a stereotype I liked that aspect So in the end I'm going to give Deepwater Horizon a 5 out of 7 It's a decent film, I thought it was a good flick It's a one-time watch really But you'll still very much enjoy it You won't be disappointed with certain aspects of it And I think that the overall presentation was very respectable And I think he was very good And now he's going to be doing another one Talking about Patriots Day will be about the Boston Bombies So hopefully that one's good as well It's got Mark Wahlberg in it Again Anyway guys that's all from me Hope you enjoyed this review I'll see you guys next time


Motivation in the classroom, what works and what doesn't. I remember taking Russian classes at a local language institute. My motivation initially was my love for Russian culture and a desire to move there. However, actually having the discipline to study the language proved to be a different reality. So with motivation in the classroom, I know from personal experience what can and cannot work, generally speaking. There are three key themes outlined here that address not only providing motivation to the students but also the students having their own motivation. These three themes are teachers' motivation, students' motivation, and classroom motivation. Motivation starts with the teacher. The teacher's motivation needs to be something deeper than just job security or finances. Any teacher who goes into a classroom and goes through the motions and has a dismal attitude about teaching whatever the subject is is going to see a reflection of this from the students. When the teacher expresses a love for the language and a desire to make sure each student gets the best possible experience it is my belief that the students will resonate with this. Not every student can be motivated and every student is different with their desire. Some students will not care no matter what, but this is more of a rarity than the norm. Motivation starts with the teacher. Let the students see this motivation and feel the inspiration. The students must look forward to coming to the classroom and seeing this teacher and what is going to be taught. A majority of the motivation is going to start with the teacher. Many students who learn English do so for opportunity. The student's motivation, although not as significant as the teacher's motivation, is still sizeably important. There has to be a reason why the student is attending the class. This reason has to be addressed to the teacher as to better gauge the student and their needs. The teacher needs to be sincere in teaching but this sincerity does not have to be true with the student. Many students who especially learn English do so for opportunity. When studying Latin, for instance, more than likely will do so for pleasure or some academic pursuit. English is one of the most dominant if not the most dominant language in the business world. Therefore the teacher must retain the passion and mission of teaching English but also deal with the reality that there is some gain that students want from knowing English. Appealing to their motivation will make them more focused and dedicated to not only the teacher but the classroom as well. Students may not need to know every technical detail that goes into the English language, they may just need to know certain parts to make them successful in their pursuits or goals. The student's needs are what is important, not the teacher's. There is a saying in the restaurant industry, guest perception is a reality. The students are the guests and their perception is a reality, without the students, the teacher will have no job. Addressing the teacher's motivation and understanding the student's motivation we now look at it as a whole with the classroom motivation. A teacher you respect and trust can provide a motivation to do good and care about the subject. Classroom motivation is where the magic happens. When there is synchronicity with the teacher and the students you will get the best results. When I was in schools it was often known what teacher or professor that you wanted to go see or be a student in the respected classroom. A teacher you respect and trust can provide a motivation to do good and care about the subject. When you have a classroom of students who care and want to learn the subject you have the motivation as a whole. This isn't the easiest thing to do. My heart was there but my motivation often was not. I have been a student in classrooms that have less motivation than more motivation. There have been few times in my life that I was in a classroom that had unified motivation, but those few times were magical. When I look back at studying Russian at my former language institute and my difficulties trying to learn the language it came down to the key element of motivation. My heart was there but my motivation often was not at the same degree and this coupled with different teachers, changing students body, and changing classroom often made it even harder for me to cement my motivation to fully learn the language. If I would have had a stable teacher with a supporting class of students I believe my motivation could have been different. To truly give myself the motivation I so desperately seeked, I actually had to move to Russia. I furthermore seek to be a teacher of English so I can give the motivation to the students that I often felt like I either wasn't given or didn't have. Inspiration and motivation are both beautiful qualities of life that help us get us where we either need to be or want to be. Become a teacher abroad with a TEFL course from ITTT.

Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com. On this channel you'll find final show, travel and more videos just like the one you are watching right now. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. Hello everyone, this is AmitDon of AmitDon.com. Today I'll be unboxing a telescopic handhold monopod which is great for travel and you can easily attach your cell phone, camera and action camera. The purpose of this portable monopod is that when you travel you don't have to carry a lot and it's very lightweight so you should be able to take it anywhere you want it to. Before I do the unboxing let's go through some specification of this product. So this is XC Source Handheld Monopod or Telescopic Pole and it's made of aluminium alloy and fully extended length is 47.24 inch and when you fold or retract it becomes 15.75 inch. It's black colour and approximate weight is 260 gram which I would say it's very lightweight and it's compatible with all mobile phones and action camera and most of the hand-held compact cameras. So let's get started. Okay so we're taking this out from the box and I'll just leave the box here for now and so here's how it looks. This is the first thing this is an attachment and let's open this. Okay so these two look like tripod mount adapter and mobile phone or cell phone mount adapter so I'll just leave this aside for now. So it has a handheld attachment to hold it with your hand so you hold it this way and when you use it as a selfie stick or when you take your own video and here are some. So basically if you want to extend it then you'll have to just lift it away and then that's how it becomes extendable and then once you fully extend it you can just lock it by pressing the button towards the pole and this way it will be locked and then it's firm and it's not moving anymore. Okay so here let's fold this again I'll fold it back which is easier to show and I'll lock it back. Okay so here this is the non-slip soft foam handle I can it easily holds in hand and it's non-slip it has very firm and soft feeling so it should be able to hold it for longer without sleeping or sweating and then here is where here's the attachment where you can put it on top of a monopod base and then you'll be able to use it on ground just this way as a monopod so you'll need a separate monopod base to use as a monopod which you can find on amazon for around $15 or even less so that monopod base actually doesn't come with it so you have to buy this separately and then here this portion this is where you can attach your cell phone and let's take a look here okay so this one is revolving so you can move it the way you want and then here you can tighten it up and let's say if you have your phone on here then actually you can rotate that and then there's a button here which you can move to tighten your phone when you're taking your selfie or you're doing your video on your phone okay so what I'll do let me see if I have anything I can take this part away okay so here okay I think I found it so if you remove this portion your cell phone holder then here is the base where you can put your video camera or your compact camera and you can either video or use it as a selfie stick with your small camera and then here you have to just tighten it up again once you put your camera back on here so this XC source extendable pole or selfie stick it sells on amazon for around $15 or it could be even more or less based on when you buy it and the quality and build of the product looks not bad comparing the cheap price so it should easily work as a monopod when you have a monopod base and then you can use it easily as a selfie stick this way so it's a very handy and lightweight product and you can easily put it in your carry-on luggage and when you travel so you always have something to stabilize your camera or video camera or cell phone if you're taking pictures or video and I have nothing to complain based on the cheap price because if you buy similar a selfie stick or telescopic pole or monopod it can easily run from $50 to $70 or in that range but comparing the lower price this is not a bad option and you cannot go wrong with this product just by spending around $15 or that in that price range so another thing I would like to mention that it should hold all mobile phone or cell phone between 5 centimeter to 8 centimeter width and all action camera and all gopro hero and it should easily be able to handle your handheld cam but I wouldn't put a very heavy weight camera on it but if it fits then by the looks looks like you should be able to hold it as long as your monopod base is firm and on a firm surface so that's all for now keep an eye on this channel I'll be doing more reviews and on this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now so please give it a thumbs up if you like what you see and consider subscribing that's all for now thank you


how to conduct a chi-square test for independence using Excel. A reporter claims the reasons given by workers for continuing their education is related to their job type. You survey your workers using a random sample and collect the data in the table below. At an alpha of 0.1, can you conclude that the reason and type of worker are dependent? You should notice that this is categorical data. We've got one variable, reason, which is categorical, and the other variable, the type of worker, which is categorical. And so we have counts. This should tell you that you would need to run a chi-square test. You always need to first state your null and alternative hypothesis. For the chi-square test for independence, the null is always that the variables are independent. They are not interrelated. The alternative has to be the complement, which is that the variables are dependent. Here, because the reporter claim that the reasons for the continuing education is related to the job type, that means the alternative is the claim. That is very important to decide because it determines what your final conclusion will be. In your assignment materials, there are a number of chi-square calculators. In order to pick the right one, you need to look at your data. And here we see that we have two rows, the type of workers, and three columns, the reasons. You should find this 2 by 3 chi-square calculator. And it says that we need to enter our data in the blue cells only. So let's do that. We know that alpha is equal to 0.1. So we can enter that. And now let's enter in the data. I'm going to highlight these cells, the data cells, copy them, go back here, select that first cell, and then paste the values in. And you can see that the calculator begins to fill itself out. We could also add the column variables and the row variables just to make it a little bit clearer. So I'm going to do that and copy these, go back, paste the values, copy those, go back, paste the values. And we can also copy in the reason, the values. And finally I'm going to get the type of worker and paste the values. And you can see that it pretty well flashes out our calculator. The calculator is really just basic Excel up here in the yellow cells. These are just sums of the rows, sums of the columns, and sum the total overall. Down here we're getting the expected, and the expected are calculated using the formula and evans. And that's just the column total times the row total divided by the grand total. And you do that for each of those cells to get the expected frequencies. When we're doing the chi-square we need to be careful that we have at least a count of 1 in each of the expected cells. So here the expected frequency assumption is met. The third section is where we calculate the chi-square. And it is, if you remember, is just the difference of the observed minus the expected squared divided by the expected. And then we sum those up both horizontally and vertically to get a total. And that's our standardized test statistic which is put in the table down here. The critical value is always a right tail value for the chi-square test. And it is found using the chi-square inverse right tail which is dependent upon the level of significance and the degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom in a chi-square is equal to the number of rows minus 1 times the number of columns minus 1, which in this case is 2. And that gives us a critical value of 4.06, 4.605. And then we can calculate the p-value, the probability of getting this data or more extreme data using the XL chi-square distribution right tail, which is a function of the test statistic and the degrees of freedom. And with those pieces of information, the p-value, the test statistic, and the critical value, you can make your decision on whether to reject the null or not.


Hey friends, it's been a great great spring season. I've attended a few conferences here in there visited with clients in different cities and actually learned a lot more about What meeting planners are looking for when they're working with their hotel sales partners? So as a result, I have updated my how to get a meeting planners attention resource So the new resource contains classics like Instead of leaving a long-winded voicemail leave something short and sweet With a date to follow up that way the meeting planner gets your voicemail And is is looking forward to the next interaction with you rather than being bored from the long voicemail Some other classics are still in there including sending a recent testimonial from your hotel versus the generic Just following up on the proposal I sent So all of those goodies are still in there, but I've added some new ones as well My favorite new one is about volunteering and getting out there and volunteering in an industry association Where you can meet meeting planners other hotel sales partners and other professionals in the industry There are so many great benefits to volunteering So I felt it shouldn't go without saying that this is a great strategy for garnering more meeting planner attention Now maybe you've downloaded this resource already And if you still have the link you can go back and use the same link and it'll give you the updated version And if you haven't downloaded it now, maybe this is your chance to do so If you haven't downloaded the resource yet All you need to do is go over to liankholderwood.com and the resource is right there on the home page If you have any problems downloading it, just send me a quick email at liann at liankholderwood.com and I'll point you in the right direction Downloading the resource then ensures that you're on the newsletter and this summer is going to be so much fun I've got a lot of great things lined up this summer and sometimes you're only privy to that information if you're on the newsletter So I encourage you to download how to get a meeting planner's attention Watch for my weekly newsletter and let's have some fun this summer Thank you so much my hotel peeps. Have a great week and we'll see you soon. Bye for now


Welcome everyone good to see you here We've we've come from Europe. So we're both jet lags. Yeah, excuse us. It's better today, but I don't know it's worse today I'm Justin Comac. I'm the CCR Docker Yeah, so I'm Michael. I'm part of the was something at being where AI labs so You're really one Yes Yeah, I think I can start with this one So one of the things that I usually like to say is that containers change the way we develop Distribute and deploy applications So I remember when I joined my first company that the first step that I had to do was to Install everything my laptop so I had to download the language runtimes for the application Download that my sequel database install all the data that they wanted to use to start actually coding for the project that I was Working for the thing is that As you may imagine Everyone has their own version of the environments We have differences on the application on the runtimes version different data different databases So it turned out that it was a complex environment because this is where I really learned the phrase It works on my machine basically so everyone was having different things We were funding some issues and it was complex thing to manage and everyone that's joined the company had to go through the same process And it was difficult also to keep everything up to date And if you mix the production environment into this equation This can be really really difficult So it was until the point in which we started learning more about containers when we started changing things So instead of having to download and install all the things in your order tools in your laptop You can just download the Docker compose file You can start building your application and you can start coding in just a few hours instead of after one day So setting this this context I Read about this specific tweets from Solomon Hikes, which is one of the Docker founders I think some of you are familiar with this. I think you are very familiar with this I was I was sitting next to Solomon when he write this tweet. We were actually It was actually just when wazzy came out and we were experimenting with Incorporating wasm into docker-build and working out what multi-arch looked like for wasm and some of the things that We're going to talk about later on today We were experimenting with early versions of that because it was kind of exciting But it was also back then kind of difficult as well But I think the the kind of the sort of aha moment that Solomon had at the time was really about These things are very similar in a lot of ways It's about packaging a set of code together into one thing that you can run that's repeatable It's portable. It runs anywhere and you know that kind of it You know repeatability you're talking about it runs on my laptop. It runs in production very much the same There's a security boundary around wasm that's very similar to the one around container I mean it's architecturally it's very different But it gives that security isolation in the same way So there's a lot of similarities and so that's kind of where that you know that kind of thinking about You know They they they fulfill a lot of the same roles and they fulfill a lot of the same purposes and they're kind of interchangeable in that way And that's really what we're going to carry on, you know, you know this is kind of carried us through in terms of talking about You know having this having this doing wasm with docker today and interchangeability Yeah And then at that time I wasn't aware of the web assembly consisting at all It was something as you were mentioning it was something new and fresh So that was I was excited and if containers change the way I develop and deploy applications What's was and how can it helps me to continue improving and actually running the applications together? So here we have two new concepts at least that time which was web assembly and wasi We're going to do just a very brief introduction about these concepts. I think we are in was and come I think you all are pretty familiar with what assembly, but yes, let's use the people on the recording might not be safe Melia That's true. So yeah, it's good that we a little bit of introduction here So basically web assembly is an opening standard that defines a binary instruction format It means that you can take code like in cc plus plus rest and instead of targeting and operating Specific operating system architecture. You are targeting web assembly This models which contains all the source code of the application you are building can run on top of our assembly runtime or virtual machine depends how you call it but still thinking about the similarities that that Justing was talking about Containers you still have one missing piece which is okay. We have Three we have a web assembly model running in a runtime, but it's fully isolated How can I reach the same? Resources that you can do you can reach with a container and this is basically about wasi So was this is the other portion of that of that to it So it's a standard to access system resources or access System resources on the server level so it provides low-level APIs for accessing things like file system sockets and environment variables Because with a container those were provided by the kernel API is which was kind of you know, that was the system API What was basically the kernel API for containers, which is how have they got that possibility? Exactly You have that a bilo by the default because the way that containers work But in web assembly you don't have that information by default because the model are fully isolated So you have all those resources and the way you access them is using wasi Which is a set of API's that allows your web assembly model to for example read the file in the system access sockets and environment variables So now that we have both things the good thing is that thinking about containers and with assembly They are not mutually exclusive technologies You can use both to get all their benefits together and this is why we are here today to show you how to do it So yeah, so let's let's talk about web assembly and containers So both of them are really you know a sandbox to run portable applications But just the portability kind of is a little bit different and the sandbox is a little bit different you know as we talked about that with Containers the the output the IO layer is the is the kernel interface with web assembly has to be specifically defined And it's more structured the sandbox is namespace isolation versus the sandbox being the You know they're kind of the browser model of runtime isolation and lack of any way to get outside without a controlled interface Web assembly at the moment, you know, this is a is a single binary But we're moving into a component model where you can actually connect these together and have multiple multiple components making up an application with containers, you know, you have an image Historically part of the uniformity of containers was because for many of the years There was really a it was a Linux AMD 64, you know kind of uniform ecosystem So there wasn't really a portability question. We that's changed in the last few years I mean we've had windows containers for a while But no arm 64 is a is a real platform with a real market share now and portability is Much more of an issue and now and so with containers you have to basically compile multiple Images bundle them together so you can run on different architectures web assembly is portable by design coming out of its browser Heritage browsers were always portable and and so and the web assembly, you know virtual machine is designed To be you know jet compiled and so on so it's already portable Obviously from the ecosystem point of view, they're very different containers have been around for a long time There's a huge ecosystem and they're because they're just Linux applications ginger and all like they You can use existing applications kind of unmodified because there's already applications for Linux whereas web assembly with wazzy you have to work at how to compile the interfaces into into the wazzy piece and there's been a lot of work, but There's there's there's impedance mismatch between existing applications. So there's there's work There's lots and lots of ongoing work as I'm sure you've been hearing about About how that works and how that can be made better Yeah, and actually one of the things that I found quite interesting is that As you mentioned like at the beginning Linux and the 64 seems to suit all the use cases that people had at that time But over the time new devices come up new architectures. You know is exactly so for example I remember that for me Linux in the 64 was super good for almost everything But then I wanted to have my own personal server at home and I use others very buy But now that's not enough now I need to find images that includes the air and version that I want to run for that So it was not easy to to make that that portability But you still have all those all that well established ecosystem with all the applications So you can basically just install docker or any container runtime and then you get access directly to a lot of applications that you can run so You know We've had this kind of history with docker of working with wasm being excited by wasm and You know one of the things we wanted to do was make an incremental path for existing docker users and existing People you know to have a path to wasm that just is kind of feels natural and incremental to them and that they can gradually move, you know parts of applications or some some piece of their application where it's appropriate where it works well into wasm and you know Basically you kind of mix and match these technologies as they as they need so they can they can learn They can experiment and they can work out which things are Effective and working and work out like you know as the ecosystem evolves we can evolve with them and help them do this So that was our our aim in trying to ship wasm stuff with docker kind of early as well It's the fact that we felt that the models in many ways even though there's lots of differences in many conceptual ways They're very similar Yeah, and we are going to demonstrate that that with docker You can actually integrate those together using the same experience that you are used to do with with containers So here I have to demo. Okay. It's looks okay. I don't know why I have a key there, but I think it's fine. So, yeah, so the first thing that we are going to do is to check How you can actually create your first container with WebAssembly? So for that I'm going to take a very basic RAS application, which if we see the source code is just a hello world So we are going to compile this we are going to build the container and we are going to run it with with docker so in this specific case the only thing that you need to do is to compile it to the To WebAssembly in this case I am using wassum32 the wassie So I get all those access to the resources in this case. They are not required at all But it's good that that we have well, I mean this case Yeah, we are using the the STD the STDI for for showing that the print statement. So we actually need it so After this compilation we have already our RAS model there. So we can start using it directly if we use it using a WebAssembly runtime like wassum32 or wassum32, we can run it directly, but let's see how we can do it with docker so For the docker file, it's pretty similar about what you are used to do with with docker You have a front in this case You don't need any base operating system because as a WebAssembly container You don't have the operating system layer. You can just start from scratch The only thing that you need to do is actually copy the model that you want to put there and use it as an entry point This is something actually that changed lately. So you need to give it like the full path instead of a relative path Having this you only need to build it using build x. I'm setting up the platform to wassum and then I'm giving it name compiles And we get the image So now the same way that you are running containers with docker ram you can do it with with wassum containers The only change that it applies that you need to use the runtime that you want to use in this case Which is wassum time There are all the runtimes that you can use like wassum edge and different ones and then the platform that you want to use Just to target the right container that you just created and the name And it works. So you have already your first Container base based on Rust and WebAssembly But that's not all and one thing that I found quite interesting is that There are already things that you can run using WebAssembly containers and you can put together So let's compare for example, how do you run a Python script using a WebAssembly container and at the full container So here we have a simple script Pretty similar to the Rust project and I wasn't very creative that day So we are just printing the hello from and then we are putting here the platform just to see the differences between containers and WebAssembly So I'm going to run this first using the the Python 3.11 alpine image. So yeah, I'm both Python. I pass my my My script after mounting it using the dash B option Yeah, I got it as expected. Hello for Linux And the same thing we can do it using WebAssembly because the same way that you publish Containers into the into the Docker Hub or any other registered that you have registries using regular containers You can manage WebAssembly as a different platform. And in this case we from from being were a labs We publish different Interpreted languages like Python Ruby and PHP ready to use as WebAssembly containers So here I'm using exact the same version of the of the Container that I ran before in this case I don't pass the the binary because we are running it directly And I just pass the argument with the with the script that I want to run And it also works. You're using almost the same exact experience. You just need to set the right runtime to use and then you can run it And it's it's easy the same way that you are doing before But there is still one thing that I want to show you that I found Fascinating about WebAssembly and is that if we do Docker images GERP, this is not going to work. So Let's do Docker images if we check The two containers that we just run There is a big difference. So on the Python even though we are using the alpine version It's 86 megabyte while Using the Python was some version you get it to 28 and this is what we are going to talk later on about more about this so The thing is how it works. Yes, so in order to kind of understand how it kind of helps to understand a little bit about how How the Docker ecosystem is structured? So originally docker was just this Back in the early days docker was just this monolithic engine that just ran stuff. But over over the years particularly as we've split things into CNCF projects that are multifunctional Docker's been split into layers. So there's There's the container the layer in the middle which was designed around a joint project with Google to run Both in docker and in Kubernetes originally that was that was the aim and then underneath There's the actual run times and so what we've what we've done with wasm was we've kept some of those layers and then we've inserted Inserted adapters to run wasm in the in the places kind of in this hierarchy. So and so Underneath the container D there's a there's a shim API which is Actually was a kind of interesting one because it was not originally designed as a sort of public API But it was really a convenient API to use to Interpose other things into how things run so it became actually a really popular extension point and so that's where the wasm shim or the container D shim for For normal containers sets that runs You know runcy normally to run docker containers or you can stick all the All the different wasm run times each each plug into that layer But from the you know kind of abstracted by the container D wasm shim project that understands them So there's a there's a there's a kind of exact kind of matched structure There are some things that will change over time for example at the moment Content is you know, essentially a Linux project, but there's no it almost works on other Operating systems. It almost works on Mac. I submit a bunch of time Porting it so we can do things like actually run all this stuff natively on On any hacks because wasms portable in the way that the runcy and this stuff requires Linux because it's a less container run time So there's there's lots of opportunities where you can modify this architecture and do new things with it because wasms Different but it gives you that same plug ability and later on we'll talk about how you can do exactly the same thing in Kubernetes for example exactly and In terms of the images, um, you know Wasm is smaller. That's one of the things that you know people have Talked about as one of the advantages for a long time a lot of it is because you know we As we talked about with wasm you can do from scratch because it doesn't have all the pieces the operating system pieces You can run containers from scratch, but a lot of them are not designed and don't work with that because they require system components, and I think that you know When you're in an operating system environment, you tend to make assumptions about what you can use and your applications tend to Well, just shell out to do this and things like that. There are disadvantages in doing that and lots of ecosystems have kind of Tried to reduce the number of times you have to do that And like I think Python is one of the more closely tied to the kind of the Linux environment, whereas the JVM languages tend to use more native code that So there's probably less difference between the sort of WebAssembly version of a Java app than there is with a with a Linux version, but You know these you know these these differences are kind of real and and part of the thing is also you're forced if you We use WebAssembly not to shell out because there isn't a shell running So you've got to actually, you know, make sure your application doesn't how I use these features So so there's work on you as a user To kind of fit with how the environment works. So so there's you know, again, it's part of the It's part of the work you have to do to put your application, but you also end up with a much more tightly defined Application that you know more, you know, it's got a clearer security boundary. It's not So there's lots of this pros and cons either way Yeah, and the good thing that we were talking before you can use both on the case is that makes more sense for you So that's that's a good. That's a good point So but one of the things that that we would like to also get a bit into more into details Is how the shims work actually because when we talk about shims We are talking about a compatibility layer between what container they invoke and saying all the commands everything That you need to do to spawn the application on the world of that you want to run and then it goes directly to the Weapons in the runtime that you want to choose for now. We have wasn't it was in time But there are more rankings around that you can actually implement so If we think about those there are many different things that all the runtimes have to implement So for example, they need to subscribe to the container the life cycle spam processes stop Then interact with OCI resources manage is TDI everything needs to be done What's an edge in what's on time and in any other runtime that that wants to be integrated with this So why not to create something common and this is the room was a project So the run was a project is a library that allows you to create this kind of shims and has trapped you to From many of the different common functionalities that you need to implement on those So basically run was is sets between container D and your application framework I will talk a little bit more about that under runtime that works underneath like was an edge was on time so Currently what we showed was Web assembly runtimes directly like Modules that can run inside those runtimes are basically web as pure web assembly models. You don't have any extra Feature on top of that But there are application frameworks that gives you more features like adding things like key value stores Routing stuff on things like that. So those frameworks are also available in container. They are shims So those one the ones that I think we have now are spider lining from Microsoft spin from fermion They have a workshop this morning at different talks and we have was on worker server from from being where so as you mentioned Like it was it wasn't designed for that But it was pretty cool how you can extend the container the capabilities using this this shims API and also run was it to quickly create this shims together So here you have also the the different repositories that you can check for this and Coming back to the to the to the architecture that we had Before we see that we have the Docker engine best best as you were mentioning before Is this something that it's just for docker or this is something that we can actually Reproduce in other in other environments and one would example is Kubernetes Since the Kubernetes environment heavily relies on containers, but it's that something that we can actually change why not Getting the same benefits that we are doing with docker containers and web assembly also in Kubernetes And the good thing is that we are already all the work done because if we if we run a cluster that based on container They for running the workers Sorry for running the workloads you can run also the the different shims like the web assembly close to the container shims So what it's required actually to to get this work together So the same the same approaches you are following for for containers in your laptop using docker You can reproduce that in Kubernetes So you only need those shims together with the shims that you already have for running containers And then you are able to run with assembly models on top of that, but In this specific environment is not that easy because as we see here This is a pretty small cluster We only have three nodes and you have to install all these manually It may get a little bit complex and you need to keep everything up to date So it's not an easy task for for administrators So One of the projects that simplifies this is kwasn So kwasn is a Kubernetes operator that loads and downloads all the web assembly Runtimes installed them directly in the different Kubernetes nodes Allowing you to start running it just by Adding this help repository installing the operator and then you annotate the nodes So all the nodes that you annotate with this kwasn will automatically Download all the shims and we configure container before you So after running this three commands, you can start creating pots that relies on web assembly models And start getting the advantage of both worlds in your Kubernetes clusters So yeah, so We won't really explain to you that like kwasn when kwasn when containers of technologies that work together They have a share a lot of similarities from a developer point of view. They can be very very similar You can Incrementally move applications without having to kind of totally rewrite the world With Docker, we really wanted to Support this incremental way so that you can just you know, anyone can come along learn about wasm start using wasm It's a it's a great place to like If you're a if you're you know, if you want to help people use wasm It's a it's a good starting point for them. It's they have the similarities with The existing ecosystem and as you can see the tooling has similarities with the existing ecosystem as well It's we're not rewriting the world to do this We're just incrementally swapping out the bits where we made the ecosystem pluggable And that's why it also works And exactly the same way with Kubernetes because that's part of that same ecosystem as standards We're using that, you know, the same registries the same ACI formats the same Container D and the same shims and I say it's a very, you know It's very incremental approach to introducing wasm into people's into people's lives so they can kind of explore how it works to understand You know what the you know, how they actually go through the process of building wasm applications how it actually works And so it really is a kind of bridge on into the wasm world for people who are You know used to building things with containers and you know, particularly people who come from this is our native world or You know using using containers in that day-to-day develop and it's very incremental approach And we think that incrementalism is is really important I think there was a kind of view with some people that wasm was like like a whole new thing We're gonna throw everything away, but um, you know, I think we've learned a lot of things with Containers that are valuable about how to deploy applications Immutable applications repeatedly deployed at scale is a really important pattern. There's lots of tools around containers for security and signing and you know Managing registries and there's a whole sort of long large scale infrastructure with Kubernetes That's everywhere in the world easily available And so you don't have to completely change the world throw things away To to work with wasm and you can you can do it in a more incremental way Yeah, and there will be things that won't change actually because for example, even though we are showing Like basic examples like the rust example or the Python script if you are creating applications that are more complete You will need things like a database you will need things as a key value stored that has persistence So those applications are actually already implemented and you want to reuse them You don't want to implement those in WebAssembly directly. So You can use the tools like Docker compose for example You can use the same one you can put your services You can set up my SQL database and then you can you can set up a WebAssembly model that runs queries Against that specific database. So that's the good thing that combining both you get all the different worlds together and you can Run more complex applications and more interesting things you can explore you can try you can experiment and you can run actually because In the end if we have the same Isn't architecture in environments like Kubernetes It means that you can actually put that in production and start serving a specific request and providing value to your users Yeah I mean I remember again back back when we were in 2019 when we were the first experimenting it was very It was very daunting because you kind of felt you had to do Everything in WebAssembly back then and it was like it was gonna be hard But he was spent all your time trying to fix problems with Building things and making things work and it was like really really difficult and it felt like you know They felt like there was a really big journey to get anything done whereas now you can find you can find bits that work and Build on those and build out more over time Yeah So yeah, we have here kind of a summary with all the links for the different projects that we were mentioning So the good thing is that you can start using today You can go to desktop was some documentation to start getting into Docker You can download the the different things you have examples there to create applications around the containers You have also the Ranguasi Container V was machines projects which have more information about how they are built and they are pretty active in the community and the CNCF community We have conversations now around OCI artifacts how they should manage WebAssembly workloads there How you are going to actually create was on containers and what are the shape the different features that all the different Runtime should follow so those kind of conversations are happening And I recommend you that if you like this ecosystem You are interested in that you join those channels and start following the conversations And we we're keeping things up to date We've we've added a lot of different gems for example, so you can try you know everything You know try spin try other things so you can try and Play around with the different parts of the ecosystem to learn about how they work really simply as well And then we we're carrying on you know growing with with the ecosystem and working out You know so if you've got things that you want to see Support it if you've got ideas. We're really open to listening and helping Helping people learn helping support your projects in wasm whatever it is that you want to do. We're very happy to do that It's it's a product that you know part of the community. Yeah So yeah, that was all that we have for for this talk. Thank you very much for attending it We have a few minutes questions I think Yeah, so I think we have three minutes, so I think we have time for some questions Okay. Yeah, so let me go back to that slide Actually, yeah, yeah, actually it wasn't there. It wasn't yeah. Yeah, it was okay here We have them. Yeah, so the question is about the different flags that we were using for docking round What they mean and how they actually connect to to run a web assembly mobile so the first thing that we have is the runtime which is basically selecting what's the Identifier for the container the shim that will run this specific application So when you when you run with with this Specific flag and by default using docker desktop You are not installing or only was sometime which is the one that I use in the examples But you are getting for example was an edge and if you install them with k wasm in Kubernetes you will get was sometime was an edge spin WWS and then your application may want to target one specific Runtime so this is the reason of that specific plan to specify the one that you want to target because for was something and was an edge They are pretty pretty similar, but for others like application frameworks. There are many differences. So that's the way you target it Yeah I mean, I think it's partly you know a function of you know the ecosystem is experimenting with lots of different things and different So I think if in future we would like to make this more automated to work out which one you need and add metadata into the build so that a lot of the stuff goes away You know so I think that you know some of this is just kind of temporary things we should be able to work out If you put if you If you build the container where you shouldn't need the most most platform Yeah, necessarily if it's if the containers built with the right metadata and things So I think that you know some of it's some of its temporary Temporary line noise, which will hopefully go away Yeah, yeah platforms detectable from the from the image metadata I mean One of the things that you know made Docker successful was the huge ecosystem built around standards and I think that web assembly Does come from this very much comes from A community that respects and really value standard. So I think they've kind of learned that lesson that you know The standards kind of it in the Docker ecosystem came out a little bit later And they were kind of driven they were more standard standardizing what had been built rather than starting with standards But it's a bit, you know kind of different approach, but I think there's You need standards to make an ecosystem big. I think that I'm you know, you also need you know Developer experience that's that's easy as well. I think that You know, there's still There's still work to do in just terms of making things just work. It's getting way better And supporting, you know, it's fully multiple languages and things is way better than it was a few years ago And it's we're getting much newer. They're just works Situation which I think is also really important because people get really frustrated if they get stuck in things That are just hard to fix and they don't understand because they would just want to, you know Run their application and it doesn't work. So I think there's a there's still work to do there But it's way better than it was I think we're still I think We still haven't Shown people what the what the compelling value for them as developer of using wasm is there's a there's a lot of excitement around it, you know Some of the things about it, but we don't kind of know which things are more important I think that With containers it took a long time to work out which were the actually the valuable the most valuable bits There was a lot of discussion about like for many years about containers versus VMs And that wasn't the interesting thing about containers was how they compared to VMs It was what the kind of workflows they enabled, you know That the kind of whole cloud native development the whole scalability the repeatability reproducibility those things were the things that actually were valuable in the end and Actually things like this the security boundary of containers was Less, you know, there was a lot of content, you know, how how strong was it was as strong as a VM The answer was no, but it didn't matter, you know So I think the the different kind of nuances take a long time to kind of feed into What can I do that's different and amazing what what what is this ecosystem doing for me? And I think we're still in the learning phase with WebAssembly about which things are going to be important and which things are Less important and which things people are gonna get really excited by so I think there's still a lot of experimentation and Kind of and learning and and building needed to find those things Was that philosophical enough answer? I think we're holding it away from refreshments, so yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you very much
