Live from Boston, Massachusetts, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering HP Big Data Conference 2015, brought to you by HP Software. Now, your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. Here we are live in Boston. We're winding down day two of two full days of coverage. Special presentation of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's flagship program. When we go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante of wukibon.com. This is our wrap up of the show, day two. Dave, great, great two days. And I think, you know, I would categorize the two days of CUBE as an ingestion of data. You know, we were sharing with folks to put the Big Data metaphor together. But really about customers, HP's new mojo is to let the customers to the talking. I think that's actually perfect for theCUBE. It may not have all the sizzle with the big names like Nate Silver, who didn't come on, although he was on theCUBE previous, Stonebreaker's on a couple weeks ago. But again, HP's got so many customers, they're telling the story for them. And HP Vertica, as it turns out, might be one of the most successful productive acquisitions in HP history in terms of value for the price that they paid. I mean, certainly compared to autonomy. I mean, 11 billion versus 300 million change. Vertica's crown jewel, certainly the intangible there which they saw was they had great DevOps people, real engineers because of the scale factor. And you got to give a hat tip to the columnar store, some of the work that they did early days of Vertica. That horse came home. Well, I agree with you first of all about the conference. The best conferences are those where the content is relevant, clearly it's relevant here. We're talking about data and analytics. Number two, where the content is predominantly presented by practitioners. Because those are the guys who really understand. And here you're talking about a lot of developers inside of companies like Etsy and Wayfair and Tapjoy and many others that are running Vertica. A lot of retail stuff, a lot of e-commerce sites. And so that makes for a good conference. It's intimate, it's 1,000, 1,500 people. So it's not a zoo, it's tabletops. It's not giant booths and all that kind of fanfare. But I would say that my hope, John, is that they can keep this conference intimate and really practitioner oriented. I think I want to talk to you a little bit about just Vertica, Haven, HP's big data strategy in general. I agree with you. Vertica, big winner, great ROI. I think the problem that HP had with Vertica is that the time to value on that ROI was delayed because the Leo Apatecker had no clue what was going on and didn't realize what he had acquired. It was just a small little thing that he didn't care about and he was so distracted with other things. And then when Meg came in, she just had such a mess to clean up, she couldn't give it the attention. And I think finally, they did the right thing, they put Colomahoni in charge. And then Meg said, wow, this is the future of the company. And they really drove Vertica as a linchpin, I think, of the software strategy. Here's the challenge, Haven, okay? So Haven's good marketing. Hadoop, autonomy, Vertica, enterprise security and N applications. Kind of a fuzzy concept when it came out. You don't buy Haven, right? What you do is you buy pieces of Haven. You buy Vertica, you buy autonomy, you buy security, N applications, really it's not an application development platform, it hasn't been, it's just becoming one. So what's the problem with that? It's good, like I say, it's good marketing, it's good slideware, but when you're selling, like let's put yourself in the sales motion. Okay, let's talk about Hadoop. What does that do? Hadoop, if I'm selling Vertica, I don't really want to talk about Hadoop unless the customer brings it up and says, hey, let's talk about how you fit into my Hadoop strategy. I don't really want to lead with Hadoop, right? I don't want to lead with a bunch of open source free software, autonomy. Well, what's the fit between autonomy and Vertica? And I think you can see by talking to the practitioners the ones that are doing autonomy, the idle. Oh, yeah, we're doing idle. You doing Vertica? Yeah, I was looking at it. You doing Vertica? Yeah, you doing idle? Oh, no. So the synergies are good on paper, but they're not really there in terms of the solution. So that has to evolve. I think excavators- Well, they've been working on that. They've been working on it, but it takes a long time, it's integration. You know how hard that is. I think excavator is designed to do some of that, but of course HP has to keep up with all the changes that are going on in the marketplace, like streaming, like Kafka. And then, oh, by the way, it has to accommodate Storm. It has to accommodate, you know, where the cloud era direction, the Hortonworks direction, which is a little bit of a fork there. Oh, no fork. No, it's a little bit of a, you know, changes. So they have to accommodate all that stuff while at the same time, taking the crown jewels of HP and positioning them. So I think that's a challenge for HP. And, you know, the marketing's nice, the Haven, it's a great little, you know, acronym, but to me it's not really a market changing solution.  I think, Dave, one of the things that's also happening is this composite application concept that's not new. Certainly composite apps have been around.  But what's happening now at a platform level is just seeing companies reuse. And it's really the open source ethos that's been driving this. And to have Vertica being used by startups with tier one VCs funding them, that's impressive to me, that's notable. And I think that to me is a signal to where this market's going and it's a time to value, race to value. Startups that can actually cross over and go from hackathon prototype, which looks good on paper. I've always said, you know, hacking not thongs of the new PowerPoint, show the value. But when you get to some critical mass, the system breaks. That's what we call a hack. Okay, great, hacks are great. Hacks show value, you double down on the value. That's agile. This is the new way to do software development. We've been saying it for years on the queue. What's happening now is they're turning to Vertica because the companies that get successful that are data full, that get a lot of data, they just turn on the Vertica engine and now Vertica's putting some more tooling around it. So SuperSpart moved by HP. We want to waste time building that. Not critical, it's 10 different versions. Let the customers choose. Kafka's getting some steam. Again, this is the new HP. The other thing I want to talk about is disruption. So we heard a couple of times from the HP folks mainly, but also from the practitioners that Vertica was a disruptor. And while I agree with that, it's certainly a disruptor of the traditional enterprise data warehouse, aka Oracle. It's really the gold standard there. Certainly a disruptor there. That whole space, that MPP space with the teaser, par Excel, obviously Vertica, et cetera, they had a little run, like the run on guards. I always use that example in the NFL draft, but it wasn't game changing. It was somewhat game changing. It didn't put Oracle out of business. It didn't unseat Oracle. So yes, it was disruptive, but to me, John, the real disruptor is Redshift. That is the major disruptor in the marketplace because what Amazon did is they took the, they essentially took the IP from par Excel, which now is owned by Acti, and Acti gets nothing out of this deal, by the way. And so, and they took that and they built their own database, a highly scalable, massively parallel database that they're now selling as a service.  It's very disruptive to models, including Vertica, certainly Oracle, but also including Vertica because it's in the cloud. So that's why you hear from a lot of the Vertica clients that they're running stuff on premise, right? Vertica guys are running stuff on premise. Redshift's disrupting the market. Now, yes, so now you can run Vertica on Amazon. Great, it's in the marketplace, but Amazon's pushing Redshift hard. And especially in small businesses, I see that solution from Amazon very difficult to compete with. Go ahead, sorry. Well, that's Redshift's disrupting everyone in this ecosystem saying, hey, if you want to quack like a BI tool, go ahead all day long. We're going to apply our disruptive rules, AKA AWS, to Redshift and put in the integrated stack. And look at what it's done. It's forcing everybody to move faster, again, to the value. If you don't show the value, you are not going to get traction. So again, this is where they're separate from the hype from the reality. The customers vote with their wallet. Well, and I think to the point we were making all week that what the cloud guys, the public cloud guys are doing generally, and specifically Amazon, they're building sort of an end-to-end data management, you know, solution framework, including a PaaS layer, including a database layer, you know, including the infrastructure services, you know, including streaming with Kinesis, all the components that you would, you know, envision, and they're offering it as a service available through an API. Now, it's simple. It's maybe not as functional, but it's certainly easy. Now, is it cheaper? Depends. We had one practitioner on today said it's $11,000 a month to go to AWS, Azure, Google, versus $2,000 a month with his own on-premises. So the economics is still a question mark, but again, for small businesses, I think it's a no-brainer. And I think, you know, the cloud guys will continually get more functional. So that's the challenge that HP, you know, really faces. Now, the flip side of that is Vertica's really doing well. It's growing. It's got traction. It's the crown jewel. It's the crown jewel. And frankly, you know, from HP, I would, I'd be leading with Vertica. Well, look at this event. This event speaks volumes to what Vertica's done. I mean, Vertica was an issue of the market, but, you know, the market pivots, and you got to go where the wind is. And, you know, Vertica might not have been the end game of Vertica, but they put on three consecutive years of a great event, Dave, and this is the DevOps. Again, what they had tapped into here, whether by accident or on purpose, doesn't matter, is that they bumped into lighting in a bottle. They hit the developer market where the engineering's getting done. And we said that on the cube. DevOps is engineering, okay? It's developing as well. Developers and ops, they engineer and they write code. So again, a unique breed, an elite breed, but also big data is powered by the infrastructure. Again, I've always said that, and that's coming to be true, and it's all playing out just the way I called it. And the thing is, there's so much more to do, right? Looker, you know, Lodgy, and these companies, you got startups coming out of the woodwork. This is going to be the beginning of a massive innovation cycle. And again, this might soften the blow, the real bubble that might pop. So, you know, in Silicon Valley, a lot of stuff going on, as you always know, and bubbles are out there, and this bubble might not be as a big of a pop because of all the action going on in the enterprise. So, the Saga ecosystem in HP, you know, partner-friendly, choice, open, I saw much more emphasis than open source. HP distributed our couple of other open source projects, much, much greater affinity within open source over the last four or five years for HP, so I give them high marks for that. The ecosystem, you know, continues to grow. Some come, some go, Tableau not here, kind of interesting. I think that's an interesting signal in the marketplace. I don't know if that's, you know, there's tension there. I don't know if that Tableau is going to be thinking about competing more with HP or vice versa, but certainly Click was here. You know, other visualization companies in the ecosystem, so that's, you know, interesting to watch. There's a nice little ecosystem growing up around Vertica. Again, to me, this conference is really all about Vertica and the innovations of Vertica. And you get some great guests on theCUBE and great action around the practitioner side. But so, let me come back to you, John. This is our third year here. What's your analysis? Of here or just Tech and General Silicon Valley, Boston? Well, I always love the Silicon Valley angle. I mean, I kind of can anticipate what you're gonna say. Well, Boston's a lot slower than Silicon Valley, so here's what's going on. Boston, you know, to me, is still in the minor leagues when it comes to tech. That's clear and across the board. Venture Capital, innovation. I think it's a different league. I don't even think it's in the same league. No, it's definitely AAA ball at best. So, Silicon Valley is just so much more action here. Boston, though, has got an engineering culture. I mean, it's just a different culture, right? Boston's got great engineers here, and the concern I have out here is there's so much churn and burn. You've got so much talent laying around. I've always said this is a ripe environment with all the universities for the data science. And I said that in 2010, when we first were down at MIT doing the MIT stuff, Boston could crush data business. If the funding market, venture capitalists, besides the Chris Lynch's, who's pretty aggressive, really funded data science. Boston could be a mecca for cloud and data science, and I think they're missing a huge opportunity.  A lot of things are high, yet Uber, $51 billion. A lot of stuff, Google changing their name from Google to Alphabet, trying to go conglomerate, trying to be this spin-out machine, self-driving cars. But there is a bubble that will pop in Silicon Valley. And the question is, will you be sitting in a chair when the music stops? That's my analysis. I've seen this multiple times in the Valley over the past 16 years, and it's coming. Now again, the caveat is the enterprise business is going to soften the blow. Because the enterprise, cloud, mobile, big data, there's actual significant underlying technology change happening at the architectural level. That is a wealth-creating dynamic. So that is going to be interesting if that thing can be, you know, overlaid into the bubble popping. The bubble being this consumer company. You're already seeing people running for the hills on the media business, consolidation. You're starting to see a lot of these, you know, analytics companies consolidating, even in the BI space here, some consolidation. So this rapid consolidation happening in Silicon Valley and yet an expansion on the enterprise and real tech, life sciences and technology. So that's my take here. Now I think this show represents that trend. Vertica has attracted those kinds of developers. Guys who built Facebook, those kinds of guys. Guys who are working on large-scale infrastructure to power large-scale data analytics. And I think that's where the axe is going to be and I think the software piece is critical on that. So, you know, again, Google's changing the name to Alphabet. Interesting trend. More stuff's happening. So, ton of stuff on internet of things. We're still going to see the hype and a lot of things. So again, that's my take. You know, overall show here, you know, HP's got a lot of work to do. HP software is not known to be great in a lot of the companies. They're known as an enterprise company for data centers. But overall, their revenue portion, they know they got to win in software. And I think they can't do it like they did before. They have to win in software. They got to go all in. Vertica has, to me, the winning formula, right? I mean, it's all about adding value. What percentage of revenue is software? Not a big chunk. Tiny, I mean, it was when they were, the huge conglomerate before the split, it's going to be, what, six, less than 10%. So now when they split, maybe it'd be 12%. Two, I mean, I might even be aggressive and put cloud and software in one business unit. Well, well, I think that. That's interesting dynamic. I think it is, but I think those growth businesses should be maybe more tightly aligned. I mean, I think that makes sense. But I think that HP has, or HP Vertica, has the formula. And so I'm hoping that HP has learned from that and preserves that, brings some of that into the Discover mojo. We saw some of that, you know, prior to the split. It was going to be interesting to see, you know, HP Discover in London. There can be a lot of talk about the new HP. It's going to be presumably HP Enterprise. I mean, we were at the last HP as we knew HP. So, but overall, very high marks for this event. The keynotes were great. The speakers were great. Stonebreaker was fantastic. Ken Rudin from Facebook, really, really good. Poppy Crumb, just phenomenal presentations. Nate Silver, Nate Silver's very good. He gave the same presentation that he always gives, but he's still really, really good. The best part of his presentation I thought was Q and A. He took some questions and the audience said, so really, it was interesting to hear the audience. They were really asking like, can you help me with my problem? I mean, essentially asking him, well, how do you start the analysis? What variables should we be considering? Some really hardcore data science questions to a great statistician. So that was the best part of his talk, I thought. And I thought Colin did a great job, came across as a very CEO oriented. I thought Young Johns was very good too. Young Johns, I thought, did a good job. I was thankful or glad that he didn't just fly in. I mean, he was in and out, but he did a good job when he was here. He shook a few hands. He gave a good talk. I thought he was good. Well, I think they have to align with their audience, right? I mean, the audience doesn't want to hear sales pitches.  And they want to hear, okay, we love you. We're here to answer any questions. How can we help you be more successful? As engineers, that's like, I want access to experts. Pick up the phone when I call, or in front of my tweet, or whatever their vehicle is. And that's ultimately what they got here. Great developer environment here at the lounge. So overall, great event. I think class of it. The last thing I want to add, John, is my advice for Meg, in case you're watching. Oh, that segment now? In case you're watching, Meg. Well, just, I'm going to narrow it. This will be a longer conversation. But as it relates to Vertica in particular, she'll give bits and pieces, Meg and Kathy, on the calls. Of course, Kathy's going over to HP Inc. But they'll give bits and pieces on the earnings calls of guidance. Every now and then, talking about Vertica, how much it's going, I would like to see maybe to your point, put the growth businesses together and give us a consistent view of those growth businesses. So we can have, as outside observers, an understanding of what the trajectory is of those growth businesses. I just don't understand the rationale. I mean, if I was on Meg's tab, like Meg looking, let's get to some reality here. You put Amazon model on the table, let's put cloud under software, hide the ball until that thing's ramping up where we got to disclose it. You got to invest in the cloud. The cloud has to be a winner. HP software has good mojo data. They got Vertica, they got a market that wants analytics, they want software. So this is the time to make the move in my opinion. I think the cloud can be the Achilles heel for HP. They got a good team over there, a little bit kind of going in these directions here, something, or confused. You take away the confusion, just focus on growing that asset. And that's what I would do, take that whole cost out of it. Now that's my take. I think that's a good suggestion, John. I think we should make sure Meg gets that. But yeah, again, overall, I've always loved this conference, not just because it's in Boston, not just because it's run across the street from legal seafood, but because of the quality of the content. What do you think of legal food this year? Always very, very good, consistently, outstanding. I think they got a fried clam issue, personally. I think they need to work on their fried clams. Other than that, legal's as usually as always. Other than that, I'd say it was perfect. So my Apple watch is calling me, telling me that it's lobster time upstairs celebration. So great time, great job, guys. Great to be live in Boston. Great to be here. If you're watching, follow theCUBE. We've got a lot more events coming up. We've got OpenStack. We're going to be in Seattle. We're going to be in Silicon Valley. And of course, VMworld's coming up. That's the big show for us. So again, big cloud show, a lot of the stuff going on with VMworld. Again, on the ground, Cube Conversations. And again, go to wikibond.com for all the research, siliconangle.com. Reference point for innovation, all your daily news there. So live from Boston, this is Signing Office to Cube. Thanks for watching.


Good morning everybody, JR Fisher here. Good to see everybody in a bright and sunny Wednesday Or at least it is here in San Diego. I want to welcome everybody do me a favor and there it is James told me what the weather was All right, 77 in Savannah. Let's see. You already hit the like button. He reminds me of stuff guys hit the like button Gotta have you do that. Don't forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button down there and important things Ring the bell turn on all bell notifications so you're notified every single time I go live. Hey this video this morning Well, I guess it's alive is for you guys So if you want to start running grow online businesses, this is what this is for today. I'm gonna be talking about Ideas for videos ideas for videos. I have to come up with ideas for videos, right? I have to come up with what five and six eleven a week eleven a week right now because I got my live ones And then I got my recorded ones after 11 a week, but I'm gonna give you at least 50 ideas today 50 ideas for videos that you can do on YouTube now They're gonna be different for all kinds of different niches and that type of thing But I the whole thing is I'm gonna try to give you at least 50 today. So you keep track Let me know if I get to 50 or not James says I'm loud and clear and James. What is our weather today? What is it? I mean, it's just beautiful here in San Diego I gotta say I feel so fortunate. I'm so lucky It is 60 right now James and we're gonna hit 78. So we beat you by one degree one degree I got you by one degree, right? Of course once it gets higher and higher and higher at some point It's no longer good because it gets too hot, right? But man 77 in Savannah 78 in San Diego. What could you ask for more? You couldn't ask for more? Could you this beautiful man? This beautiful um, so The thing is a lot of times you guys will say well, I want to start a YouTube channel But I have no idea what to do a video on I I don't have a clue J. R Which should I do videos on and the truth is there's so many things you can do videos on now? My channel unlimited right because I can only do videos on how to start running grow online businesses So I could talk about apps and I could talk about SEO and I could talk about sales And I could talk about emails and stuff like that, but I'm limited Okay, I'm limited in that some people do lifestyle ones and like a lifestyle. Well, my guys It's just open up to everything the difference being is a lifestyle channel is gonna earn a lower CPM In other words advertised cost Then my channel is however they're gonna get more views than me. So it's kind of a trade-off Paul What's going on? It's rain and hot springs is a cold or hot there. What's going on in hot springs? It better be hot. It's called hot springs, right? So I'm gonna go through this list of ideas guys It won't be for everybody's channel because I'm gonna give you like 50 ideas. However it'll be enough for some of you to use and You know be able to do some stuff here. Let me get some of my notes ready here. Got my notes ready And you know my wife does videos to and she does a lot of these And you know they work out for her but she has two different channels to she has a dog training channel And she's got a DIY channel the DIY is a lot of fun. I mean it really is cool So when we're talking about channels, here's the first one you ought to do that every single channel should do is Introduce yourself one. Okay, the number one video you should do is to introduce yourself one Now are people gonna be searching for this? No, will they get tons of views? No, not unless you set it as your main one for your channel But the thing is with this video if people want to know about your channel and what you're gonna be doing This is a great video to do.  And if you answer those three questions you pretty much got yourself a introduce yourself video You don't have to be like this super interesting person guys. Everybody thinks well I've got to be you know so cool and so badass. You don't you really don't You just got to be you if you're you there's gonna be a portion of the population that's gonna like you You know it used to be when you started a business and you were in a town of let's say 500,000 people, you know, that's all the people you could draw from this 500,000 You know if you had blue hair and tattoos down your arms, you know There's gonna be not not there's anything wrong with blue hair and tattoos But I'm saying there's gonna be the majority of the population that's not gonna be interested in you It's gonna be a small amount of the population that would be interested in you And the thing is would it be enough to support whatever you're trying to do? But nowadays we're online So you go out to seven billion people in the world and there's always gonna be enough people that are interested in you So don't worry about being so cool and so tough and looking professional. Don't worry about any of that stuff I mean, I'm not doing anything special today. I'm sitting here in a t-shirt in my office Just talking to you guys And I have some people who are interested in that and there's some people who aren't and that's fine, too Paul says 68 degrees. I think a decision has to be differentiated By is it for a business promotion or hobby? Well, they can kind of overlap to if you think about it a lot of hobbies Let's say woodworking or fishing or whatever can also overlap into a business And that's true. This is a matter of what you want to do it on The another another one. This is number two is make a response video Okay, a video I'd like did another youtuber do a video that has a different opinion than you Maybe you disagree. Maybe you do agree. It's better if you disagree by the way response videos are really Likely to be see is random content. However, yours may just pick up steam and you do good, okay? The next one would be Start a vlog Vlogs are popular. What is a blog blog is basically a blog of your life, but it's videoed Okay, so, you know, just what you're doing that day and what you're you know, try to do something interest interesting No, don't say well, I'm making my bed now. I'm brushing my teeth. A lot of people won't be interested in that Next one is an opinion video. Maybe you've got some hot political debate that's going on You know, maybe there's something in the news that's being argued and maybe you want to get involved in that I personally don't but that's okay. That's just me.  That's about as political as I get And that goes for my views the next one could be a challenge video.  That's in the news that you want to do a video on you can do that And let me get some of these comments here if you're going to monetize you need to be consistent. Oh, yeah Yes, you do. I just read about the half of new channels quit after less than 50 posts You have shown that you need to be persistent.  I don't care if I'm talking to one person or I'm talking to thousands You know, I have some videos they get 50,000 views and some they get, you know, 25 views It's all across the board and I don't really care because I know over time It grows every day. I wake up and my ad revenue is going up every day I wake up and I have more viewers and I have more subscribers It's going up every day. I'm gaining more every day than I'm losing so that consistency does happen So, you know, you could do the challenge with next thing you could do is you could Review things, you know, maybe there's a product out there Maybe there's a movie out there. Maybe there's a tv show out there. I don't know Whatever you want to do it on but review some give your review and your opinion on something Everybody's got an opinion. It's like another part of your anatomy. Everybody's got one, right? Let me take another sip here Now people are also interested to see here. Paul says do you script out your Shows for live streams or use bullet points, you know, I sometimes I don't use anything Sometimes use bullet points today. I'm using a few bullet points but You know, my live ones are more more I get shooting from the hip than anything else But I do I do do some research and I do have some information that I can pull from when I talk to you guys If I'm doing just a q&a, I don't because you know, I just got to respond to whatever you asked me So we did the review something the other thing is people like to know You know, what what you use. What do you do? What do you what do you have? So What's on my phone app type thing is pretty cool. Everybody has apps on their phone But no two phones are exactly the same So if you go over what kind of apps you have on your phone and that you find productive Or the top 10 apps I use the most often people like that. They think that's pretty cool Maybe you're into music. So maybe you next next one is going to be number eight Maybe you want to do one on favorite songs and music that you like You could do one on that people. I mean, here's the thing about youtube, which I You know, I have no idea why anybody would be interested in my life But they are they're interested in your life and what you're doing So I try to share as much of that as possible. I try to be honest with you guys I try to say hey, this is my life But this is what I'm doing every single day And to give you an overview of today, I haven't done that have I today I'm going to be doing this live Then I have to do some editing of videos and then I'm going to go meet a really good friend of mine I met him in 1987 and he was in his fifties So if you do the math, he's in his eighties now. He's 86 and he'll be 87 in august Um, I consider him one of my best friends just a great guy And I remember when I first met him because I was in my 20s And he was in his fifties and I thought wow that guy's old That guy's really old and it's funny now because I'm 61 Um, and that's a lot older than he was when I first met him So it's it's kind of it's kind of cool to see and he's just a great guy. He's traveled the world.  He's so much fun to be around. So I'm really enjoying. I'm looking forward to having lunch with him today So I'm gonna have lunch with him I may come back and work out a little bit And then I've got to work on my course again Back to digital course designer. It's taking a lot of work on that They'll probably Pull up my ads. I have a lot of ads running. I have to go through and Sort out what's working in the ads. What's not working in the ads Get all that done. So anyhow, I just did favorite songs. How about favorite movies? Could you do one on favorite movies? So there's the thing for you You could do a video in your favorite movies. What's out right now or maybe the top 10 that you've always liked Next one up is maybe you could do something on your favorite sports. What is your favorite sport? Who is your favorite team? You know, who are the team members that you really like and that goes right into all these other things that we use for entertainment The next one is excuse me favorite tv shows Maybe have a show you like maybe you want to review that show and talk about it The next one takes a little bit more talent But I've seen people do it and I've seen people pull it all is make some type of comedy skit. Okay People love to laugh. They love to feel good And chances are that your audience feels the same way So just grab a camera and some friends and make something funny if you can do that And if you don't know how to make funny things google how to make a funny video I mean every every bit of information you want in the world is online now All right, let me take another sip And I'll go on to the next one Make a haul video. I've never heard of a haul video before Hey, my wife is Into diy and she was doing dollar tree hauls and tj Max hauls and ross hauls.  The haul is just when you you can do it to go into the mall You can do it to go into a gun store or whatever it is and you show what you bought and you bring it back And you talk about each one of those things in front of people. It's a pretty cool thing to do Let's see here. What has paul got to say is there an optimal link for videos for businesses Or for teaching videos to prevent boredom What are the best ways to get engagement from audience on a pre-recorded show? All right, so yeah, there are some links that are important YouTube will tell you they want eight minute videos At least eight minute videos. They don't say stop at eight minutes. They say at least eight minutes The reason they say at least eight minutes is because they want to put ads on your videos Anything short of eight minutes. They can't put the the preferred number of ads on your videos Now you say, well, gee, I don't want ads on my videos anyhow Well, they're going to be on there because as of last year They changed the rules and the rules are they're going to put ads on every single video out there Even if you're not monetized even if you're not getting paid You're still going to put ads on your videos. That's part of the terms and agreements And if you don't agree to that tough, that's the way it is. So eight minutes now that being said I you know, I have a friend who's got a youtube channel and I told him You know, you need to have at least eight minute videos and for the past three weeks four weeks Now probably past month. He has been posting one and two minute videos so he can do a lot of videos And there's no point in doing that. There's just zero point in doing that Because number one people don't really want to watch one and two minute videos. There's just not enough information Secondly, let's say you're getting 50 watch time and you do a two minute video You're going to get one minute of watch time. If you do a 10 minute video, you're going to get five minutes of watch time So, you know to to get monetized you need 4 000 hours of watch time It's going to take you forever to get there doing one two minute videos if you do one of those a day I do a video every day and they're you know 10 to 14 minutes, which I think is optimum But you know what here's the here's the rule of thumb Don't make a video any longer than it takes for somebody to get bored. So if it's interesting People will watch it. I mean I watched a movie last night And it was an almost two hours, right? But it was interesting. So I stayed there for two hours You could do a two hour video on youtube, but it's kind of interesting if it's not interesting They're going to leave in the beginning. So there's there's your rule of thumb. It's got to be interesting It's got to hold their attention Let's say hope it's a good place for lunch as I Live vicariously through your outings. Yes, it's a sushi place That Luigi and I are going to go to and we had been going there for years and when covid started This restaurant did not respond well to covid and they closed and then they couldn't get there to go stuff together And I literally have not been there in over a year So I'm looking forward to seeing if it's changed. I know the main sushi chef left and went to Hawaii So I don't know if that's going to affect it. We'll find out. I'll see Let's see here thoughts on doing short facebook lives to promote upcoming videos on youtube Is there any rules we need to know about doing that? You know, I don't I don't do those and I'm moving more and more away from facebook, paul Facebook is just not showing my content and it's not just me I see everybody running into the same thing. They're not showing people's content to other people And they're they're Got censoring people. It's just I talked to somebody a friend of mine in brazil yesterday and you know, he's an american guy We've been friends for seven eight years And he is in brazil and he has quit facebook too and he ran Millions and dollars of ads and facebook but they keep canceling his account same thing happened to me So we're all moving away from facebook I guess I need to sell that facebook stock at some point, but I made a lot of money on it Next idea I want to put up here guys is show off a collection Maybe you have a collection of things you want to show people Maybe it's bottle caps baseball cards ink pens, you know pictures, whatever it is Show off a collection. If it's money, don't give your address. Okay, it's money Next one is you can parody another video And I think we're up to about 15 of these now Show a video that resonated with you But maybe you want to make fun of a video. Okay, that's okay too. Uh, now this one here's crazy Sing a song. Maybe you want to just sing a song and try it out and see if you can monetize it, you know No, yeah, that's right Really, I guess if it was a song that's already written you can't monetize it It would have to be original content.  I'm going to do a tour of my house But I moved to texas. I want to show everybody the house. See what you think of it Um, next one would be give a tour of your hometown. I live in san diego That could be quite a tour if I wanted to do that if I want to show you around san diego I could do that thing. I'm probably going to do one of austin. I'm definitely going to do a cooking channel in austin So that's going to be pretty cool. Uh, let's see james brane says I quit facebook months ago. Yeah, a lot of people have james I mean, it's like First thing I check is video link and anything over 10 minutes better grab my attention big time. You're right james That's very true.  It's like I can't be interesting, you know, and that's just me But I'm just saying there's other people like me, right? Um Do you think you need a website or do you think Uh, uh, or a link to Shopify and links after the show I always like to have a website Just for credibility, you know, like you could just use a Shopify store But if they're looking for you and they want to know more about you It's a good idea to have a website whether it's your brand or whether it's your personality or whatever Just so people have a place to go to Next thing you can do is you can show off your prize possessions. Okay So maybe you have a memorial of somebody who passed away in your family Or you want to show that off? So whatever is your or some jewelry or something along those lines? Maybe you want to show that off Next thing I really like And I'm going to start doing more of these because people have asked for this But do a product review. I use a lot of different softwares And as you guys know, I believe in cartra wholeheartedly In the description after this is live, you'll be able to go to cartra and check that out Or excuse me, you'll be able to go to the description. You'll see a link to cartra there I think you should mix up content to keep interest Like reveals or possibly theme The days. Yeah, those are all great ideas paul. That's a really good idea So what about folks who don't want celebrity?  So I don't want that Uh, I've never really wanted that in my life. Um And you know, you don't have to be on screen to do videos of the world according to briggs He has a great channel and he's never on screen.  Keep that in mind too. Uh, next one is Make your channel intro, you know, do you have a channel intro? Do you want a channel intro? Um, I had one and I didn't like it. So I took it down And I just have what is a popular video playing there now Uh, next thing you can do is a reaction video. Um, you know some response you have to something that's going on It could be a reaction to a specific, you know, event. It could be a video It could be whatever, you know cooking show, whatever it is that you like Um, and the next one could be what? What do you think the next one could be? Start a walkthrough. Walkthroughs are really cool. People love to learn how you experience different things It could be a walkthrough of you know, a movie theater, a restaurant, your house, whatever it is You could do that. Um, and there's a lot of gaming stuff too guys I'm not into gaming so I don't want to, you know, recommend them But there's a lot of things you can do on gaming if that's your thing. Um, Let's see here compare See this oh, I'm just kind of scrolling through my notes here because I want to give you guys a lot of good stuff Um, uh, show off your graphics settings. Okay. So how are you setting up your camera?  You know, maybe you're you're you're doing a video of setting up your studio and how you film all that stuff People are really really interested in that type stuff too um Make a first impression one, uh, so it can be it could be a review your first impression of a sandwich You know, uh, dame drops does that every time a new sandwich comes out So does the report row a report of the week guy It could be pc titles. It could be all kinds of different things. Um, what else could we do here? Uh Trying to scroll through some of my ideas Um, you could make tutorials on things teach people how to do things. That's what I do I do a lot of tutorials So maybe you're interested in doing tutorials and you want that to be something that you know, you can help people out Um, maybe you want to teach some type of life skill that you've learned, you know, I've done ones on organization I've done ones on procrastination. I've done ones on motivation because all these things I had to work on for my business If I didn't handle these things then, you know, I couldn't do my business. Um Maybe you want to discuss historical text. Maybe it's a you know, heart of war. Maybe it's the bible Whatever it is, maybe you want to discuss that Maybe you want to discuss your favorite authors or favorite books that you read I have a stack of those and I think I'm going to do a video on those because I got so many of them up there And so many of them have really helped me out a lot and I think I could do a good video on that Um Let's see here You could make a biography video. Uh, you could make a video about, you know, interesting historical figure If you want to do that, um, you could do a how to build something how to build a desk how to build a tree house You know, uh, how how to, you know, landscape your yard, whatever people love that Uh, and my next idea here is to discuss time management And I think we're well over 50 now. I'm trying to squeeze in as many as I can in this link to time I'm maybe I'll get up to 75. Um discuss time management and how you manage your time That's something that I I struggle with but I I think I've got a good hold on it I know what I need to do every day and I get it done Um Next one is something my wife does and maybe you can explain how to take care of an animal One of the biggest videos she ever did was how to give a pill to a cat You know how to give a pill to a cat And that was a really big video for her and if you want to see that video go over to her channel It's uh, jessica l fischer the furry family coach And watch that video. It's pretty interesting actually if you've never given a pill to a cat It's a chore. It's a real chore. Um I really like how you made your thumbnails pop wake cool colors. I didn't paul That's my video editing guy. I don't want to take credit for his stuff That's billy billy is amazing and he does a great job on that. Hey billy. He'll be watching this Uh, I also like how you relate stories and past experiences To help deliver your messages. Yeah, I think that's important. You know people kind of like stories It kind of keeps you interested And I like to tell stories, you know, I've had some neat experiences in my life And I like to share with people The next thing you could do Is you could explain certain tools you work with, you know, I've done ones where I talked about my phone and my ipad and my Camera stand and my lighting and all these different things because people are like, well, I want to do videos like that How do I do it and they need to know what the equipment is? And by the way, all that equipment is in the Description once this goes Past live what is past live once it's not live Once it's just recording to see that description down there um Let's see. What else can you do? Uh, you can do myth busting I think myth busting is a really good one where you say well, you know Everybody tells you you can work two hours a week and make a million dollars a year And I'm here to tell you can't now. Maybe that wouldn't be interesting to some people But there are a lot of myths out there about let's say making money online About how to train your dog about cooking About all these things that we always hear that you have to do and if you did one that was just the opposite of that That's pretty interesting stuff You could explore Your desktop computer and what's going on on your desktop computer? What do you have on your desktop computer?  Maybe maybe you're saying I'm getting rid of my computer and here's why you know, that's an interesting title I think You can also talk about your favorite tech items. You know, what is your favorite tech items? What about your watch? What about your phone? What about your iPad that you like and why do you like it? um, you can also discuss this tech news and rumors, you know, I've seen a lot of people do stuff on uh, tesla Um, because that's a that's a huge subject everybody's interested in then think about this when you're doing some of these reviews Try to find something that's hot in the news because people are going to be searching for it anyhow, right? That's what we want to do. We want to make videos that people are already searching for Um, you can talk about the latest processors and computers if you want to do that You can talk about the latest graphic cards. I don't know about that stuff. So that's not my thing These are just notes I took um, you can do a performance review of your computer You could test your computer against high-end games or productivity applications. You could do that You could explain tech concepts and what they mean Maybe you want to explain what a bitcoin is and how bitcoins work. Uh, I would still love to see that video I'm still I think I understand the bitcoin. I'm still not that into it and I was going to buy some Uh, and I haven't yet, but then you know, I own tesla and Elon bought one and a half billion dollars with a bitcoin. So I get technically I own bitcoin at this point um Sometimes I'll share a rolling in the aisle laugh about what happened to our kitten Princess when she was getting fixed at the vet. I would love to see that. I would love to see that uh, let's see here Is it worth building a facebook audience in tandem with your youtube to drive more people to youtube Best way to get email addresses from list from youtube. All right. That's a good question paul And here's the thing I'm not going to tell you it's a good idea or a bad idea because I don't know for you Um, I always weigh everything out and I say, okay, I'm going to work on building an audience in facebook If I do that, what am I taking away from? Could I spend more time on my website? Could I spend more time on running ads? Could I spend more time on making youtube videos? Is that more important than what I'm working on now? And if the answer is no, and I don't spend a lot of time on facebook, which you guys know if the answer is no Then I don't do it It would be great if I had unlimited time. I would definitely do it I would do all things if I had unlimited time, but I don't and since I have limited time I really really really look at is that better than You know is a better than b is b better than c I do that all the time And that's something you kind of got to ask yourself. You know, what are you going to be taking away from? uh, let's see here What else best way to get email addresses from your youtube? That's to offer something free Down in the description in this video here. You're going to find a free course 97 dollar course You can opt in for it and you can get it for free. I have downloadables in there that you can get for free I have webinars, you know that you can go to for free In matter of fact, I'm going to put some more webinars in the description I have several of them that are not in there for you guys And that's a great way to get email addresses is to give before you get That's that is like if you learn nothing else from me, that is the cardinal rule On um line is to give before you get don't try to just sell people stuff Give them something free first and if you give them something free and it's good, they'll come back and they'll buy from you um Let's see Some of this is I like how you show your show encompasses both business and need to maintain health while doing business I do like your out-of-office videos that mix up the look. Yeah, I got to do more of those I really do Paul. It's just it's a matter of time and those out of the office ones You got to get your sound right you got to get your lighting right It takes a lot of editing no excuses. You're totally right. However, I do need to do more of those and I'm going to do those You know, I look at Graham Stephan and he does like 99.9 percent of his you know in his office And it's just easier. I tell you especially if you're doing a lot of videos You know if I was doing one video a week, I could do more out of the office. I think But man, it's tough when I'm you know, I'm doing 11 videos a week right now. It's a lot Or it is for me. Some people do five videos a day. Sean G does five videos a day Other things you could do is talk about audio technology. You know, that's something that people are interested You could discuss next one is discuss computer hardware and peripherals if you're into that type of stuff Any type of gadgets that you have in the house? Let's say you've got a cooking channel And uh, you want to talk about the kind of knives you use the kind of cutting board you have Or the kind of you know air fryer you've got or whatever talk about those gadgets And the cool thing about talking about gadgets is you can put affiliate links and you can actually sell that stuff too You can make money on it. You can answer tech questions You know people have a lot of questions about technology and how they're supposed to do stuff You can talk about those things also. Um, you can also show how you tweak things. Um Um, there's people, you know, who don't know how to change things and do settings when all of these software So you could do stuff on that. Um, what else could you do? You could talk about installation and setup guides. Um, I know we have a camera that we use a mirrorless camera And uh, Jared Polin did a video on how to set up your camera. It was two hours long Two hours. I mean it was a long time. It was a really way good video on how to set up that camera We didn't know how to do it Let's see here I've got a couple more. I'm trying to think of the best ones to give you guys Um, you could discuss storage. I think storage is a really interesting thing And I know you may say oh, it's boring. You just store stuff It isn't because like there's certain things that I store at Dropbox There's certain things I want on my computer. There's certain things I want on a removable disk and there's reasons for all of that stuff Okay, um, so anyhow, I think I've exhausted this I think we're in in the 70s maybe almost 80 different ideas for videos Um, I hope this helps you a little bit. I hope this gives you some idea and gets you going And the next thing I will add to all of this is find a favorite youtuber that is doing primarily what you're doing Say niche type thing and look at what they did videos on sort their videos by most viewed And pick that video and do another video on that subject You know on a similar title don't steal their stuff. I'm not saying that I'm just saying do a similar one Maybe you could do a better one. Maybe yours could be longer. Maybe yours could be in more detail Maybe yours could have humor in it What could you do to do a better video than they did? Um, and you can also get their keywords and all that if you're using TubeBuddy, which there will be a free link to TubeBuddy Absolutely freeing your TubeBuddy in the description after this video And if you want to get the paid version if you use my link you can get 30 off So check that out in the description after this video is over with so There it is There's some ideas. Did you get anything out of that? Let's see thoughts on multi-part videos good or bad to do I love them. I love multi-part videos. I did um 12 videos this past week, uh, and I did Um two videos on one subject, which is a series another two videos on one subject which series And then I did three videos on a subject, which is a series So I actually did three sets of those this past um week Um, and they're getting edited now Billy's working on those right now. Um, so I like them. I like them a lot. Uh, check out jame Ultra's crypto currencies 101 James wrote the best seller choose yourself. He's an expert programmer and former hedge fund manager Yeah, I know of him. I know of him james. Uh, he's a really sharp guy. That's that's great advice anybody who's listening Take james advice there and check that out. I would highly recommend him too Uh, I really like how your audio has improved over the past few years. Well, I couldn't have gone down It was terrible Uh, over the past few years, I find bad audio is the biggest turnoff.  I will tell you that but for sound. It's amazing These pads these pads helped a lot. Otherwise, it's very echoey And it's hard to hard to get good sound. I will tell you the better the microphone You know, you've got the better this here is a signhauser This is the one that I wear to do all my videos. If you notice, you'll see this A little clip right here. I don't know if you can see it This will be on my lapel on all my videos And I don't use it for these lives here because it's just really not necessary But for doing my videos for my weekly ones, I use this there is this one And then there is the transmitter one that plugs into the camera. Um, there's no wire between them This is a cordless lavalier by signhauser. It's a german manufacturer Well, it's it's designed in germany. It's made in the usa. I'm reading the back of it right now This is not cheap this thing's about six hundred and fifty dollars. Uh, but I've had this microphone since Ooh 2015-16 something like that. It's as good as it ever was. So a good microphone helps however I also will have a link in the description for a microphone that is a lavalier that you can clip on it There's a corded one that you can just plug into your phone And that one's twenty nine dollars.  By the way, nice beard you have billy beard. Yeah, I've been trimming it back I appreciate it. I've been trimming it back. I don't know how much longer I'll last Usually when it gets hot, I'm done because it's just too hot like I was working out yesterday I got all the sweat in my beard and it's dripping down on the mat. Uh, so that kind of gets to me now The thing about the workout thing guys, and I do want to tell you guys all I can about staying healthy This is the number one thing you need to do to stay healthy. You don't always see this But I've always got a bottle of water and we take a swig And That way I stay hydrated gotta have water You also have to exercise every day. Now, do you have to do a full workout every day? No But keep in mind, I sit at this desk or I sit on the couch and I type all day. That's not good for you So I have to do a physical floor exercise.  Oh my watch. I have the number of calories That I've set for the day. Let me see here if I can find Okay My calories for the day and I set it to 700. Okay, so if it's like 515 and I've done my workout And I've walked the dog and I've done all that stuff But I'm still 150 calories short Then I jump on the bike and I knock out whatever calories I need the watch says hey And then it gives me these awards like if I hit my 700 calories like three days in a row four days in a row How many I get for the week? And I think that's super important guys all of this stuff I tell you doesn't matter if you're not healthy all of this stuff I tell you doesn't matter if you're not healthy you got to stay healthy guys I don't always eat perfectly. I don't always exercise perfectly, but I never stop doing it I never stopped trying and that's the thing. I think a lot of people said well, I haven't worked out in the week I'm gonna screw it. I'm not gonna do it anymore. Well. No, that was just that week That doesn't mean you can't do it next week use a lot of cheeseburger and fries You know for breakfast today. So screw the diet. No, that just means you had a cheeseburger and fries for breakfast Good for you. Have a healthy lunch. Have a healthy dinner starting in tomorrow. Don't quit Don't quit Paul said in the beginning there Most people, you know, they quit after posting 50 videos. I don't think they even post 50 videos from what I've seen I can't count how many channels I've seen that have five or 10 videos or two videos. I looked at a chef Who's a friend of mine On facebook and she started a channel. She had one video like a year and a half ago What happened? What happened? And then she got three or four videos on another channel Why are you quitting? Why are you stopping? You're just getting going And no, you won't see results today You know if you start a youtube channel and you do some of these ideas I gave you you will not see results today You may not see it tomorrow. You may not see it next week or next month But if you keep doing it, I promise you're gonna see results You're gonna see them. You just got to keep doing it guys. That is the biggest killer Of anybody make it online is that you know, they have A couple failures or it's not what they want and they just quit Why quit? What are you going to do then go back and sit on the couch? I mean might as well just keep going anyhow. What the heck, you know, that's what I tell people So to see you really need to check out ddp yoga guys 64 years old and crushing it Have a great hump day gang. Yes Would you use the last would you use the last to the road to texas also looking To texas pictures. Yeah, you know, I think I know jessica is gonna film or move to texas So I'm probably gonna film some stuff along the way. I think I should if nothing else I'll stop and film some food places for that interest you If I stop and film some food places of the way to texas, you know, there's some good ones, you know it Um Does your watch let you know how many steps you're taking got to keep moving? Yes It does the step thing, but I'm more concerned about the calorie thing I'm more concerned about that than anything else. It also does a heart rate thing And it's funny, you know, since my life and I've been working out, you know, her heart rate was really kind of high 90 to 100 And now she looks at it. It's like in the 60s So, I mean just that exercise can lower your heart rate if you lower your heart rate Your heart doesn't have to work as hard and I know this is off subject for making money online But it doesn't have to work as hard and if it doesn't have to work as hard, you don't wear out your heart So, you know, those things matter Um, this is you you're seven years into being an overnight success. Yeah, actually longer than that fault I started in 2009. Um, and I didn't um Have a youtube channel in 2009. I you know, I started that in 2015, but I didn't do much with it I was a quitter in the beginning. Uh, just like, you know, a lot of the a lot of people you see there But then I got back to it. I went back to it and I worked on it and now I'm getting results now make money So that's here's the cool thing guys. The biggest motivator is success and I did a video on this the other day, but As soon as you start seeing money coming in, you're like, oh, this actually works. Maybe I'll keep doing this So every day I look at my uh ad revenue and I'm like, huh more and more money More and more money it makes you want to do another video You take somebody like Mikey Chen or Mark Wiens and they have, you know, like Mark, I think has seven million subscribers And I calculated he can do a video a 10 minute video and he can make over a hundred thousand dollars on that video Wow, right? I mean if somebody told you that you could do a video and make a hundred thousand dollars How many videos a day would you make? Right, you'd be like, I want to do videos all day long, right? So there's your motivation is success, but here's the truth You can't get to that until you make the videos first You got to make them and make no money first to get to that point If you go back and look at Mark Wiens original video, it was horrible It was about how to pour some water through a coffee filter or something. It was just dumb But he didn't quit and he got better and better and better and better now he's got seven million subscribers So it's just putting in the work first getting me getting the payback later on. That's how it's going to work Well, I hope this helped you guys out. I think I've given you uh more than the 50 ideas that I said I would And I hope some of these ideas do help you out Um, they will work all these ideas are proven. I never give you anything that's not proven that hasn't been done the video success Loving jessica videos need to see if she has some on dogs and weight loss for dogs That's a really good one and I'll tell you paul our dog gained some weight and we're cutting back on her food Weight loss for dogs is excellent. That's an excellent idea. I do want to tell her that Was the gift card thing worth the effort? Uh, yeah, I gave out gift cards and people were happy That's that's the only reason I did it. I didn't do it for any other reason You know just to make people happy and just to give back a little bit and I'm gonna do other things I want to do some other contests. I want to do some other giveaways Um, and it's I mean it helps viewership some if that's the real question you're asking But I don't do it for that reason I just do it to give back makes some people happy and people went away happy Especially there were some third world countries where the the cards meant a lot to them You know 15 20 30 dollars was a huge amount of money to some of those people. So yeah, that's pretty cool Uh, let's see anything else. I haven't covered I think I covered it all if you like this video guys, do me a favor.   Let me know you're alive.

President Mohammed Al-Bawari said that the federal government was aware of the infrastructural deficits facing the universities in the country. Speaking of the graduation ceremony of Maudibor-Adamo University, the president said that his administration is committed to improving the welfare of the University workforce as captured in the 2023 budget. The president who was represented by Professor Abdullah Yusuf Rabadeh arched university lecturers to be created so as to sustain their livelihood. While speaking at the ceremony the Governor Honourable Amadou Fintiri of Adamo State congratulated the University for holding the ceremony and noted with appreciation that having Professor Lehman Tukor staring the affairs of the institution was indeed a great fortune for the nation. It's not unaware of the funding challenges of university education. Just as education is very important in the life of any individual, it is also the foundation of national development. It is as a result of this fact that the federal government has been working tirelessly to ensure that education is made accessible to many Nigerians as possible through adequate funding and good policy.

In honoring Terry today, as we all are in being here, in honoring Terry, as so many people around the world do every year by participating in the run. And honoring Terry in the beautiful presentation that Doug Copeland has created, we remember him. And we remember the thing that he wanted to teach us. And that is that we can all make a difference. That every single person, every day we get up, we may not face 43 kilometer run ahead of us. But every day we get up, we can make a difference. And that was the gift he wanted to give us. And it was a gift we accept gratefully. Future generations will remember Terry. And they'll learn about Terry's story every time they come to BC Place in this plaza and see this wonderful new memorial. That's why we're especially proud that the focus of Terry's legacy will be here in the form of this wonderful memorial created by our very talented, Douglas Copeland. This four-piece sculpture was created so that people living in 1000 years, no matter how different or strange their lives may be, can look at it and understand its message. The tallest figure at the front will show Terry giving what his family calls the Terry Wave. A quick gesture of thanks that he gave supporters and well-wishers along the way while in mid-run. In 1980, Terry said, I will do my very best, but I am not going to give up, but I might not make it. And if I don't make it, the Marathon of Hope better continue. While Terry, Canadians have not let you down, and the Marathon of Hope will always continue until a cure for cancer is found. Thank you.


Hello, and welcome to Town Needing TV, my name is James Gunger, I am visiting here with the Vermont Council on World Affairs as we travel the state with a delegation of Vietnamese parliamentarians who are visiting as part of an exchange program hosted by the Vermont Council on World Affairs in partnership with Open World and the US Library of Congress. We are hosting a delegation of five Vietnamese parliamentarians and I have the pleasure of being joined by two discussing their exchange with us today. So let's start the program just by introducing yourself, your name and what you do as a member of parliament in Vietnam. My name is Lady Thanh Lam, I am the head of the Congressional Delegation of Oaxacan Provinces on the occasion of our delegation here with fellow members of parliament of Vietnam in order to learn general knowledge under the Open World program in the United States. In the past days I have learned a lot of experiences and exchanges with the congress people and their staffers, which has been very useful for our work for a member of parliament representing the people of one province in Vietnam and also participating in policy making for the whole country, especially in economic development and today meeting about the media is a very important area for all countries including Vietnam. Thank you, it's a pleasure to have you and I'm so happy to welcome you to Vermont and now I'll turn it to you to introduce yourself and share a bit about your work in Vietnam. My name is Mai Zung, I am the standing member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly of Vietnam. This is my first term as the member of the parliament and I'm presenting a small province from the north of Vietnam, which is very close to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. And like Miss Lam just said, this is our very first chance to attend the Open World program organized by the US Library of Congress and we know that the program has been implemented for more than 20 years, but this is the first time a Vietnam delegation is organized and we spend three days in DC meeting with staff of members from Vietnam and from the house. Last night we just arrived in Vermont and this is like the most interesting event feature of the program that we can experience live with the host, which is like normal people in Vermont and we have a chance to visit different organizations and agencies at the local level like we have today, meeting with CCTV people and it's a great pleasure and we are learning a lot about this trick. Outstanding, at the Vermont Council on World Affairs, it's a goal to bring Vermont to the world and the world to Vermont and we couldn't be happier to host delegates like yourself, so thank you so much for being here and we hope that you will enjoy your exchange and your time in Vermont and also that Vermonters who meet you will have an opportunity to learn more about your work and engage in useful conversations. So before we wrap up, I would love to know just a little bit more about your initial impression of Vermont and what you hope to enjoy in the time you're here. Generally, when we came to Vermont, our impression has been that it's cold here. It's cold, which is very different from the cold in my homeland, like in my home country. There are only two seasons. It's very hot. When I come here, it's so cold, it's so impressive. It will be very memorable to me. Apart from that, Vermonters, they're very friendly, very close and very enthusiastic in welcoming us and that kind of feeling is like family members that we've really enjoyed. I see that the life of the people here is very peaceful and very tranquil, very warm, despite the cold. Thank you. I share the same feeling with Miss Lam, which is also my first time to Vermont, although I've been to the US quite several times, but this is also my first time. Vermont is very well-known for its foliage. Luckily, we arrived here after the season and we wish that we could see the snow because of maybe the climate change. Also, it's very cold for us, but it's not as cold as it should be, right? So I think either Vietnam or Vermont will share the same impacts of climate change. It's a global issue and I know that also Vermont is very famous for tourism. Like you said, the program brings the world to Vermont and we hope that also Vermont will come to see the world. So we are here today and we love this stage and we also hope that someday people from Vermont will travel to Vietnam, visit us there. Perfect people-to-people relationship. Thank you. Again, behalf of the Vermont Council on World Affairs and town meeting TV, thank you so very much for hosting us and for Kamlin CCTV here and traveling to our state. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to today's episode of the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch where we bring you some of the top stories from around the world. Let's take a look at today's headlines. Leftist Gabriel Borridge wins Chile's presidency, protests marks three years since Sudanese Revolution, U.S. air strikes in Middle East deeply flawed says report, and hospitality workers launch indefinite strike in Cambodia. In our first story, progressive frontrunner Gabriel Borridge is said to be Chile's next president. The former student leader won Sunday's run-off election with 55.8% of the votes. Borridge defeated far-right candidate Jose Antonio Cast, who secured 44.1% of the vote share. Over 8 million Chileans voted in the December 19th election. While voting proceeded without any major incidents, serious concerns were raised about the lack of public transportation. Dozens of buses were reportedly impounded in what many considered an attempt to suppress voter participation. Borridge's campaign also noted a 50% decrease in buses in Santiago and similar reductions in cities like Valparaiso and Rancagua. As the results were announced on Sunday evening, massive celebrations broke out in Santiago. Borridge belongs to the Approved Dignity Coalition and has promised to address key demands raised during the 2019 social outburst protests. This includes increased state spending on services like healthcare, progressive taxes, and a public alternative to the current private pension system. Borridge has also demanded the legalization of abortion and rights of the LGBTQ plus community. He has also pledged to reform the notorious carabinero police force, which has been repeatedly accused of gross human rights violations. Borridge's victory has come at a crucial time as Chile's constitutional convention is in the process of drafting a new text. This will replace the exclusionary Pinochet era document which does not recognize indigenous peoples. Borridge has backed a new constitution and will oversee a referendum on it in 2022. Next we go to Sudan, where hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Khartoum on December 19. The protests were the latest in the march of millions uprising against the October 25th military coup. The day also marked three years since the December Revolution which overthrew dictator Omar al-Bashir. Beyond the capital, demonstrations were also held in places like Amdurman, Port Sudan, Eddain, Dongola, and Atbara. Security forces had already blocked all major roads leading to the airport and army headquarters before Sunday's protests. Bridges connecting to the capital to the major cities of Amdurman and Bari were also sealed off. While protesters were still able to reach Khartoum, they were attacked with heavy tear gas. People chanted, the people are stronger and retreat is impossible as they marched to the presidential palace. Protesters had travelled from other states including North Khartoum and Ghazira to the demonstration. As the protests neared the presidential palace, security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas. According to Sudan's health ministry, at least 123 people were injured on Sunday. The Central Committee of Sudanese doctors reported that a 28-year-old man had been killed during the protests in Khartoum. The organization has stated that 45 people have been killed in the anti-coup protests so far. Sudan's revolutionary forces including the Sudanese Professionals Association have remained firm in their demand for a complete civilian democratic route. They have been mobilizing under the slogan, no partnership, no negotiation and no legitimacy. Protesters have rejected the agreement which reinstated Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok in November. Up next, over 1,000 civilians were killed by US air attacks in the Middle East due to deeply flawed intelligence and faulty targeting, says the latest report. These findings are part of an investigation by the New York Times. The report is based on confidential Pentagon documents containing over 1,300 reports of civilian casualties. The Times has stated that the number of civilian deaths had been vastly undercounted by at least several hundreds. Moreover, none of the records of civilian deaths contained an admission of wrongdoing. For instance, 120 farmers and villagers on the outskirts of Tokhar in Syria were killed in an air strike in July 2016. However, reports at the Times said that 85 fighters had been killed. Another attack took place in Ramadi in Iraq in 2015 after a man was seen dragging an unknown heavy object to an Islamic State site. Upon review, the object was found to be the body of a child killed in the attack. A more recent example was the US drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan which killed 10 civilians. The Pentagon has announced that no one will be punished for the attack. The Times report states that the poor or inadequate surveillance footage often led to deadly targeting of civilians. Many civilian survivors were left with disabilities. However, compensation payments were made in less than 12 cases. US air strikes grew significantly in the final years of the Obama administration. The claim was that these were precision operations which could keep civilian casualties to a minimum. The Times report found over 50,000 air strikes were conducted in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria over five years with much less precision. And for our final story, we go to Cambodia where over 1,300 hospitality workers in Phnom Penh have launched an indefinite strike. Workers at the Naga World Casino and Hotel have been on strike despite threats from hotel management and local authorities. The strike which began on December 18 is organised by the Labour Rights Supported Union of Khmer employees of Naga World or the LRSU. Workers have been fighting against arbitrary mass layoffs imposed by the management in April this year. 1,329 workers were laid off in a single day including the entire union leadership of the LRSU. Strikers are demanding the reinstatement of 365 of these workers who the union leadership claim were laid off illegally mostly for the union activities. They have also demanded proper severance pay for others who have been laid off and better wages for the nearly 2,000 existing workers. In the meanwhile, the workers are also facing looming pressure from authorities. According to reports, a December 16 order by a Phnom Penh court has doomed the strike and the demonstration held at the Naga World complex as illegal. But the striking workers were only notified of this order late in the evening of December 18 hours after the strike began. In the meanwhile, last week Cambodia's Labour Ministry had also stated the union to remove some of its demands. In a joint statement by 59 organisations including trade unions, social movements and rights organisations from across Cambodia have condemned the authorities' attempts to undermine the strike. The letter also insisted that the authorities and Naga Corp that owns Naga World not use the legal system must not be used as a tool to silence workers' voices and respect the international treaties on labour rights that it is signatory to. The Cambodian government has in the past attracted international scrutiny for its crackdown on labour groups and trade unions. That's all for today's episode.
