episode one six that means it's sixteen but which is favorite man and favorite host Ahmed Ali coming to you live from the holy city of Karbala of course on Imam Hussain 3 TV but let me say this sixteen nights of Ramadan absolutely beautiful which you guys tonight is the third Thursday night of Ramadan so it means Karbala is packed absolutely packed and you know I'm enjoying myself as well as you guys should as well you know you guys should enjoy yourself but you know I don't want to talk a lot tonight I just want to say that whoever participates in the show will have their names place in this fishbowl right here halfway you know quarter-way filled name place in this fishbowl for a chance to win a free trip to Karbala all you got to do is participate at the end of Ramadan my blessed hand will go into this blessed fishbowl and take out a blessed name to come on a blessed journey to the blessed land of Karbala a lot of blessings tonight but let's go take a very quick break and check out what's trending now who likes to vape who vapes I do vaping is we don't want to we don't want to try but you know I won't say anything but let's check out these charts right here these charts are skyrocketing and five years five years number of vapors globally in five years look at that or seven years look at that this is crazy so seven million twenty eleven now there's almost 45 million 42 almost 45 million now top 10 markets for vaping the US is killing it with vaping we're gonna get another chart let's let's take a look at the another chart all right this was same one okay okay okay okay all right so I'll just say it out because I read this today on BBC and honestly the business in in vaping is crazy at one form from four point two billion dollar industry to twenty two point five billion dollars in 2016 2018 it's crazy I'm one of the guys that vapes and honestly it's better than smoking cigarettes and better than smoking you know because it's portable it's go around wherever you go but what else is trending this is actually sad because if you're not a fan of real Madrid but you're a fan of Zezo Zezo Aziz Zena Dean Zaidan has retired from coaching real Madrid the 45 old said in a conference that he said taking the decision not to continue next year with with Real Madrid this is very very sad for for me I don't I don't I'm not a fan of Real Madrid but I'm a fan of Zezo Zena Dean Zaidan so hopefully he has a as a good and healthy life in front of him but great shout-out huge shout-out from Hashtag Gellenty and special about Ali all right so that's it with what's trending let's go check out what tonight's topic is because I know you guys are you know thirsty for it yeah so welcome back we are live in the holy city of Karbala the late night talk is once again episode 16 of the special Ramadan series and tonight's we're trying to talk about some very special people parents parents are the best thing or the best people that are ever happened in our life the only people that really care the much or the most for us if they're with you God bless them and if they're not may their souls rest in peace but during our childhood they take care of us they pay everything for us even when our piggy bank piggy bank is full and we have pocket money they still pay for us they take care of us and one of the most important things is they guide us during our teenager young adult life they tell us what's right and what's wrong and to many including myself they become their best friend they become our best friend however as we grow older know what or not they also grow as well they grow older as well so and what a lot of people may know or may not know the old people are vulnerable to diseases both physical and mental they start to develop mental illnesses after a while such as dementia or even become physically ill as well or physically disabled in some cases the care for them gets more and more difficult as they grow older because it causes sometimes it causes for discomfort within the family and for the relatives as well factor aside from physical and mental health it's a difference in generation and what I mean by that for example if you're 16 and your father is like 65 or 75 and you're trying to do something and he's not allowing you because he doesn't his mentality cannot take it in because there's a huge gap of generation so he might not understand you so in that case what he does is he refutes you from doing that he doesn't he doesn't allow you to do that however vice versa sometimes he tells you to do something like getting that fishbowl cut you know that the bowl cut where no one does not not now these days but like your dad says you know what this is nice you have to go and do it then you just look like an idiot in school but you know but if you do have that it's kind of tough to deal with they become old because they're old school they can't keep pace with with this generation especially this generation the spoiled ones now the change of generation in addition to the mental and physical disabilities that they suffer from old people go through sometimes it causes their children to get tired of them they don't know how to deal with their parents if they get older they don't have the experience now therefore leading them to taking their parents to nursing homes now tonight on hashtag and see we're trying to celebrate global parents day and we're trying to find out and your question for tonight is simple would you put your parents in nursing homes very very simple what you have to do is pick up the phone dial or open WhatsApp dial the number shown right there and let us know what you guys think plus nine six four seven seven four zero six seven eighteen thirty six do you think that when your parents grow older you're gonna put them in person in nursing homes or would you not put them and let us know why the advantages of putting them and it is advantages of putting them in nursing homes you can talk about that as we get to talk about later on the show as well but we do apologize for not going live on Facebook there is a technical difficulty happening so inshallah it's either we'll go very soon or we will go live tomorrow inshallah on Facebook but so that's it let's take a very short break and come back to look at tonight's topic many people unfortunately they have to go through a very difficult situation in making up the decision whether to take their parents to nursing home or not you know because parents are the most loved ones to our heart especially me my parents mean the world to me but let's take a look at some of the advantages and some of the disadvantages of putting your parents in nursing homes you know there are some advantages we'll should get to talk about now one of the most prominent advantage of putting your family or putting your parents or parents and nursing home is that there is a professional team expert medical team that give medical the proper medical attention to your parents around the clock so that means you don't have to you know you don't have to go and teach yourself everything you need to know and how to take care of all people now nursing homes are also staffed with people that know how to deal with a specific situation when it does happen when old people get old when you know our parents get old they tend to always sometimes forget not socialize a lot so they provide that atmosphere so hence they have social activities and facilities with social activities where the old folks get to socialize among themselves another advantage of nursing home is that nursing homes are evaluated every year by the Medicare so you can make sure that your loved ones are staying in safe in a safe and sound nursing home now some are also providing new nursing homes in Canada and the US they're providing the person so for example if you put your mom or dad in nursing home they provide you with a live feed on your phone from the camera in the room so you can see and check out what your dad or what your mom is doing that's an advantage as well now relying on nursing homes can sometimes put fewer demands on the family if you're busy if you don't have time if you're all day busy with work you don't have time to take care of your parents which is something very important for the guys that run business you don't get that time to spend it with your parents so what you can do and the advantage let someone else take care of your parents for you but let's we just receive a text message from say that could some naqvi from Pakistan she says sending parents to nursing homes is one of the most pathetic things one can do their countless sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him as Pauli progeny and Ahlul Bayt peace be upon them showing us the status of parents and the curse on the ones who disobey their parents thank you very much good soon for joining us tonight now your name has already been placed in in this fishbowl in this blessed fishbowl right here but we do remind everyone to call in and let us know what they think of tonight's question now before the before that text message we were talking about some of the advantages now of course when there's an advantage there's a disadvantage now when you're putting your parents in nursing homes the first disadvantage of putting them in that place is you know when you come back from work or when you're leaving to work you get to see your parents early in the morning when you come back from work you're tired you get to see your parents and that great smile your mom gives your dad gives you as soon as you walk in to your house which is something beautiful it just increases self self-esteem and it makes you really feel welcomed in that house that you're walking in which is something absolutely beautiful you know the relationship that a person can have with an older father or mother can really strong in the relationship with that same person and his son because if you do have a son and he sees you putting your parents in nursing home then guess what whatever goes around comes around as the same goes but several cases of abuse is also another disadvantage of putting your parents in nursing homes if you go to YouTube simply write abuse in nursing homes you will find many cases of abuse because the people that are you know working at nursing homes you don't know when they lose their patience old people need a lot of patience a lot and they nag which a lot of people don't like including myself all people like to nag if they don't see something done they keep on repeating the same thing not everyone can take that in not everyone can bear that so they need a lot of patience the person working with the old age which results in most of the time resulting into abuse another disadvantage is how expensive old old age homes are 900 as of as of 2012 $248 per room so if you're putting your parent or parents in nursing homes if you're taking one room or two rooms one room is $248 so that means in a year you're spending $90,520 which is crazy to be filthy rich to put your parents there are cheaper homes but you can't really guarantee the satisfaction of your dad or mom and and if you know if you're trying to put your parents in there into cheap nursing homes then they're probably anyway I don't want to start saying random stuff but no one another disadvantage is that no one will care for your parents as much as you will you know when your parent wants something in nursing homes yes sometimes it might be done right away but most of the times it won't whereas you at home you feel that high respect towards your parents so you're obligated to go and do that thing you know that high respect that grows from you being a child up until you go up that right there is very strong and sometimes you nursing homes can't offer that 90% of nursing homes are understaffed so the demands of old folks won't be met and that's and in that potential threat of accidents might occur and there's a high chance that they will occur another disadvantage of putting your parents in nursing homes that depending on the persons or the individuals condition a nursing home might increase their illness so if you have a mom or dad that are suffering from depression are suffering from amnesia are suffering from Alzheimer's not all nursing homes know how to deal with that they're not experienced not all them are experienced with dealing with Alzheimer's because Alzheimer's is a very dangerous disease that a person can go through especially in the old age another disadvantage of nursing homes when you have to put and when there's no nursing home close to you you have to travel long distances just to go and see your parent just to go and check up on them and that's no disadvantage but let's go and check out what the public has to say about tonight's topic would you put your parents in nursing homes would you put your parents in a nursing home and no I personally me when it comes to parents I believe that the struggle they went through to raise us as kids and you know the moms to give birth to us that when they get older it should be our duty to look after them as well so to leave them in a nursing home for me I don't agree with that would you put your parents in a nursing home no well my culture being Irish it's not something that's really done you know you always you always look after your family and your grandparents and your parents and it's not really the done thing would you put your parents in a nursing home yeah that old thank you very much for those who joined us they also joined us in the previous episodes but I guess that there's only two people or three people in London that's great no I'm kidding but thank you very much for those who joined us in the public opinion but some people three two people said no they wouldn't and one person said they would if they get old we just received another text message from most of them in the UK he says he says I think that nursing homes are right for old parents that have mental illness because if they stay at home with the kids they might have an effect on the kids wow okay thank you very much Mustafa from the UK so let's write his name down aha okay nice Mustafa from the UK okay okay Mustafa okay okay thank you thank you very much now your name could also be placed just like Mustafa's name and just like the zooms name your name can be placed in this fishbowl right here by joining the show participating during this live show we do apologies once again that we're not live on Facebook hopefully inshallah we can solve those technical difficulties and inshallah tomorrow we will be live definitely I'll ensure that we'll be live on Facebook inshallah now before that text message we were talking before the public opinion we were talking about the disadvantages of putting your parents into nursing homes now one of the important things of keeping in mind especially when a person is a follower of the Adil Bayt and a Muslim we have to look at what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made incumbent upon us towards our parents now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala which is very interesting because in a few narrations if you were to go examine the Islamic history which a lot of people have to do he compares his obedience with the obedience of the Prophet Muhammad his respect the same as respecting Prophet Muhammad the same as respecting the imams however there's something very interesting that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur'an he makes his obedience very important and it's a scale if your parent if you obey your parents so if you obey your parents you obey God if you disobey your parents and you're trying to obey God then that's not going to work good luck trying to obey God when you're disobeying your parents there's a few exceptions we get to talk about later on now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions in chapter 17 verse 23 he says Allah your Lord has decreed that you not worship except him and to your parents treat them with good manners whether one or both of them reach old age with you say not to them of the small word of it's it's two letters and Imam al-sadaq said if there was a lesser letter or lesser word that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala could have used in the Qur'an he would have used it but if it is the smallest word that a person can use towards his parents if it just means like wow i have to deal with that again all right not but you know i have to deal with that again you know so even that small word you cannot say to your parents and you know i can think of a thousand words that people say to their parents we don't want to mention them on tv i don't think they're suitable and i know people that i've seen cuss out their parents i've seen this and it's disgusting for a person to cuss out his dad or mom you know doing it behind their back a lot of people do it but in front of them is just disgusting disgusting now the master of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says look at the parents with compassion and mercy because it's worship so if you're trying to worship god just look at your parents with mercy and love because that that's what you have to do you know it's it's it's not like your parents have you know dropped you in the scene left you dead no your parents have tried their best to raise you as a good child to make you someone very you know very upright and trying to make you successful but there are some rights that we have to take into consideration as kids as children to our parents one of the rights is that you have to obey them as the verse says however their obedience should not come before the obedience of god what do i mean by that i mean that if your parents are telling you to for for example if your parents are telling you to take off your hijab if your parents are telling you to go steal to listen to music to do drugs to eat pork to drink alcohol to do whatever to disobey god in any sort of way you don't have to do it because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says after verse 23 he says if they forced you to disobey me god then don't obey them however become friends with them in this dunya to that extent Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us that even if they're trying to tell you even if they're trying to say disobey god no no don't disobey god yet become friends with them try to tell them why you don't want to do that instead of being arrogant and stubborn just explain to them and trust me it will work sometimes there are stubborn parents that force the children to do stuff but hopefully these these kids can can have a bright future inshallah treat them kindly and allow them to speak first and allow them to walk in front of you out of respect towards this is very important when imam sajjad aleyhi salam as as he has the treaties of rights one of them is about the parents one's about the mother one's about the father and he emphasizes a lot about the parents when a person asks him he says why are you emphasizing when the parents so much imam sajjad said to him by Allah if there wasn't if Allah allowed for the people to worship other than him i would tell mankind to worship their parents not me to go worship your parents but to that status of to that elevated status your parents has reached of course if their pie is and religious and all that so that's what you need to keep in mind another one is that don't raise your voice at them i know a lot of people even sometimes when they're joking their jokes get to a serious level and i've seen that you know kids joking with with their parents joking with their dads and moms even it gets to something very very bad i don't want to mention how but it's it's it's it's really disrespectful mama sajjad also says very beautiful he says i don't even eat with my mother well they saw him eating alone and his mother and everyone eating together he says i don't even eat with my mother because just in case her eye falls on specific food i don't go and grab it before her so he eats alone so his mother can eat peacefully she can look at whatever she wants just in case even the intention look how much imam sajjad focuses on parents especially mothers now now if we were to conclude tonight how many minutes do we have left we have two minutes left if we were to conclude tonight and try to send a message to those who have you know god forbid disobeyed disobeyed their parents it's it's very important i think we just got a a voice message from but we did get oh we didn't get a voice message uh-huh okay okay um so but as if we wanted to conclude tonight all we have to say is that share the time that you have with your parents even at their later stages of life try to make them feel because honestly you know god forbid just look at the parents that have a down syndrome kid that have a disabled kid they don't throw their kid away and let someone else deal with them i don't know they take care of them they provide everything for them the most expensive medical treatment they provide yet a well be a healthy person cannot take care of his parents when seeing that that's disgusting so at the end of the day let us spend some quality time with our parents in order to grow mentally and physically healthy that's what we need to grow thank you very much for joining us tonight is Ahmad Ali come into your live from the holy city city of karbala be sure to join us tomorrow at the same time live from the holy city of karbala once again take care waslamu alaykum


November 1st, 1998. Agent LeMent noted, almost in passing, that it was all Saint's Day as he tore off his calendar. He tossed the old day aside, chuckling slightly at the new one. Scientists are all over the place in the sack, he started. Watt did it with power, Joule did it with energy, Ohm did it with resistance, Pascal did it under pressure! He grinned. All notable contributors to their fields, Gears said dryly. LeMent nodded. He'd never heard a chuckle from across the office for the past year. Never saw a smile. People seemed to think that Gears was a robot or a cyborg or some sort of computer given human form. LeMent preferred to think of him as just reserved and needing to come out of his shell a little. It was a damn thick shell though. LeMent popped his neck and looked at his inbox. Nothing too much. A couple of memos concerning some security issues that he briefly glanced over. Nothing too important. He sighed a little, shredding the ones that were marked as such, filing the others, then leaning back in his seat. He closed his eyes for a moment, thinking. Agent. LeMent opened his eyes, looking at the bald doctor across his desk. That was a surprise. Normally it was a process of file, assessment, and writing up proposals and schematics. Conversation was not something the two of them participated in. Yes, Dr. Gears, he asked. What was your previous assignment? LeMent was caught a little off guard at that one. Hedge. You should know, sir. You received my personnel file. I did. Please continue. LeMent nodded a little. I was at site 29, sir, he said. Just outside San Mateo, he added. I was working on, uh, well, a few different projects. He finished, looking back at the large, thick file on the corner of his desk, averting his eyes and putting wording together in his head. Such as, Gears asked. Classified, sir, he said, hoping there was some protection in that. He didn't want to talk about 919, about his own face screaming at him. I'm not afraid to talk about them. Gears nodded slightly. So were the ones you're working on with me, he said flatly. Though the telekill box was rather ingenious. And that was it. A pit formed in his stomach. LeMent looked back up at Gears, then down again. Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. But I never shared anything above level two clearance, sir. He said quickly. I'd never do anything like that. Nevertheless, agent. LeMent sighed, feeling thoroughly chastened and, uh, he wasn't sure. It was the nameless feeling of having disappointed your father or mother. Yes, sir. And then, he and Gears didn't say anything for the next few hours, until LeMent rose from his desk to go to lunch. Can I get you anything, sir? He asked. That will be unnecessary. LeMent sighed, nodded, and walked out of the office, realizing how thoroughly he must have just disappointed the man, even though he'd never show it. He wondered if a transfer was coming somewhere in his future. Would he welcome that? The assistant researcher position he was occupying was never something he'd wanted, nor something he was exactly qualified for. He felt out of his element, and now it felt worse. He met up with Sandelmeyer shortly later, as usual. They sat together with a gaggle of other assistants. LeMent was the only one at the table not wearing a white lab coat, though. Sandy had accepted his promotion to assistant researcher as soon as he finished his degree through South Cheyenne Point University. And with a smile, he and the other started chatting openly about their current projects. LeMent was almost certain that the only reason he was allowed to sit with them is because he was working with Gears. And the blank-faced doctor seemed to be a source of fascination to the rest of them. They worked in circuits, providing what details they could, omitting what they couldn't. And then it came to his turn. He sighed and shook his head. I am currently not allowed to discuss my project alone, he said, flatly into the point. He picked up a French fry and ate it, trying to act nonchalant and feeling none of it. Sandy laughed, but the man sitting next to him, a researcher named Choubert, laid down his fork and looked at LeMent seriously. You know LeMent? You should probably transfer out of there soon, he suggested. LeMent peered up at him. Why? It was another man down the table who agreed.  And a gag order was how that one started, too. What? LeMent asked. Iceberg. Joe Richard said something about an iceberg. Dr. Iceberg, Choubert's eyes were still locked on LeMent. Gears' old assistant was with him for, God, almost a decade? Eight years at least, he said solidly. Explosives expert when he came in, Gears recruited him to work on a couple of projects and then he liked him or something and he kept him around. LeMent raised an eyebrow. So he asked. He worked with him day after day for years, Choubert said. Years. Do you have any idea what working with someone like him for that long will do to you? Choubert paused for a moment. How long have you been with him now, LeMent? He asked. Just over a year, he said. Good. Next review, tell them you want to transfer. They'll want to know why. Then tell them you don't want to blow your brains out like the last guy did. Two. O5. August 1st, 1997. After failure to report for his duties, I inspected the quarters of Dr. Iceberg. It was there that I found him deceased at his desk. Causes believed to be a single gunshot wound to the roof of the mouth. The note present was confiscated and sealed in accordance with containment procedures on SCP. His body was cremated the following morning and his non-personal belongings were redistributed in accordance with foundation procedures. Gears. LeMent laid the file back down on top of his desk. Ten years, Iceberg had worked with Gears and now... He looked at the file. It was two pages. One that listed his qualifications and the second one, a yellow carbon paper copy of Gears' memo. This was it. This was ten years with Gears. He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes again, thinking. Thinking. Why hadn't he looked into this before? He wasn't qualified. He was barely qualified for the agent level work he'd been given. He opened his drawer and stuffed the folder into it, not wanting to think about it. Not wanting to think about anything. What secrets had Iceberg expunged with that bullet? LeMent took a shallow breath, then pulled out the paperwork he'd taken from human resources that afternoon, looking down at it. He started filling out his transfer slip quickly, then folded it and stuffed it in an inter-office envelope. He dropped it in his outbox and walked back to his quarters, his hands shaking.


Hey, what is going on guys root of the knoll here coming back at you with another python tutorial? I'm gonna start up idle and to create a new script here Save this as a file.python get my shebang line started I'm gonna create a new class call this one base Define a constructor pass in the self keyword Break out of our class and test in the global scope if the name of our script is equal to main Or in other words if this is the current script we are running or this isn't included We're going to create an object or an instance of our base class So now what we're gonna do here is move on Now recently we've been looking at a string variables and we've been trying to see the functions that we can call with these with this Data type we've been looking at converting the string to uppercase converting the string to lowercase We've been swapping the case around we've been testing whether or not it's all lowercase or all uppercase inside that string And that sort of thing but now we're gonna move on to list data types or like arrays We're gonna be looking at those from now on so I'm gonna go ahead and create one I'm gonna say self dot array. I'm gonna call my array because if I use list. Oh It's not gonna. It's not gonna highlight for me because it's not just plain old list But we can okay. I'm gonna call mine self dot list because I think that looks good and Inside our list we can have the values of this is a I'm gonna put in here list and now I'm gonna print this out So I'm gonna print out self dot list and usually we have been concatenating on some new line characters Now remember you can only concatenate with other string variable So I'm gonna convert this list to a string with our str function and we can display this So now we have this is a string when we want our program So let's take a look at what we're gonna be checking out today There is a function that you can call with your list data types that is called append And what this function will do is is a little operation We've been doing a lot recently and it's appending on to the end of the array So if we had a our array or our list here called this is a list or at least with the values This is a list what it will do is it will add on another value at the end here And that's what append is called. That's I mean that's the definition of a pen to add something on the end So if we try this what we can do is we can print self dot list and then we can append on and Then our value or at least a value that we pass to it will be added on the end of the list So we can use like right here We can have a question if we if we run this we're gonna get none And this is because our function here list dot append does not have a return title returns none by default In fact, that's just the way it happens because what it's doing here is it's actually modifying the original list self dot list, so if we don't we don't even have to print this out But if we go ahead and print out our list again self dot list You can see that it's been modified and has this right string at the end of it So it's actually modifying the real argument that we passed to it. So if we If we try and do this on our own, I'm we're gonna have it return to us the actual array So, uh, and you'll see what I mean. Let's get the function started. Anyway, I'm gonna call mine append I'm gonna pass in self array and Append this in our case append. This is what we're gonna be appending. So now we can set up array We can add on to it with our assignment operators plus equals and inside of our brackets here or these braces So we know that's a data type of it's oven of an array or of a list Sorry, I'm tripping all over my words here and we're gonna put inside the value of append this or what it is that we planned on appending and Then when we're done, we can just simply return array So now if we run this we can print self dot append and We can pass in self dot list and we can add on right just like we did before And now you can see this is a list with right here at the end If we run this after we had appended it with the original function though Remember now that's adding this now that originally adds this right up here We have a we have two rights because we've done it with our function and with the one up there So let's let's comment out the first one that a fault built in function And let's take a look at our our new our new list all by itself. We can do print out self dot list And now you can see it still has a right on there It's actually it actually has modified the original variable because we've taken what we've passed in here And we're actually adding on to it inside the array inside of the function anyway We can fix this though what we can do is we can set a New array and we can set that equal to the value of ray that we've been passed and we can modify new array New array plus equals append this and we can return that new array. So if we run this We still have that same output That's strange But you know, it looks like it's only doing this because we've set new array equal to the value of The original array so it looks like it's still working with what we've passed to it But what if we what if we sort of change this around of it? What if we returned array plus and then the value of append this? So we're adding them together, but we aren't modifying anything really So if we run this we get this is a list right and then we have this is a list So it's true. We aren't changing any of the variables. We're just sort of displaying both of them So you can really work around with this There are a lot of interesting code techniques and tactics that you can do here without having to have to modify the original variable And we're using this equal sign that assignment operator So this one could be a little bit more complex depending on how you look at it Especially understanding the way variables are passed to functions, but hey, I hope you guys understand the idea Or you can at least comprehend what we're doing here And yeah, I hope to be seeing you guys in the next tutorial. Adios


All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, bodybuilding videos. You guys asked me about bodybuilding videos. Please do some workout videos. Please talk about bodybuilding. Let's be honest guys, on YouTube we have an abundance of bodybuilding videos. You don't need to listen to me to know how to build big biceps, right?  Of course, there's an abundance of material. But you guys want to hear it from yours truly, from Bobby. Okay, no worries. But guys, I'm not gonna talk about my current status because I do not consider myself being a bodybuilder any longer. Of course not, man. Bodybuilders are guys like Jonathan Irizari, right? When you see the videos, you will see the difference. Me and Jonathan, man, I look like a schoolgirl next to him. It's true, right? Jonathan Irizari is a real bodybuilder. Therefore guys, today I want to talk about how I improved my legs to the extent that you can see on the thumbnail in the matter of three years. From absolute toothpicks to humongous legs to Quazzila, if you will. I was only 19 years old with those legs. Crazy. I started working out when I was 16 years old and with 19 years, I already had those legs. So what did I do? I want to give you the secrets. First and foremost, it's all about nutrition. Of course, right? That is not the topic of this video. You have to take into account. You have to eat a lot. In order to get big, you will have to eat big. So long story short, six meals a day, minimum, even seven, eight meals per day, 200, 300, 400 grams of protein and whatnot. Whatever it takes, goddammit, right? But the workout regimen, what did I do? Really, really simple. Heavy as squats, nothing more, nothing less. First exercise, squats, three sets, 12 reps in the first set, round about 10 reps in the second and round about six reps in the last. And then one PR. I don't count that as a set. That is a PR. You go for a one to two rep max. That was it. But when I'm talking about one to two rep max, I'm talking about all you have, right? We're not talking about half-assing it. As to the grass, all you got. Maximum weights, right? That is the case. And then you move on to the second exercise. The second exercise was a heavy leg press. Any other movement that will push the legs. Not an isolated movement, a pushing exercise, right? It can be the leg press. It can be the hex myth or it can be the front squat as well. Whatever you might wanna choose that is replicating a squat again. And you do the same. Three sets starting with 12 reps, 10 reps, six reps, one rep max. Yes, this is how you start the workout. Two intense pushing exercises. And then you move on to the last one. This already it, yep. The last, the bikes are loud here.  Now, and then you move on to the last exercise which is an isolating exercise. Just leg raises. And the same applies again without a one to two rep max, of course. You just do 12 reps, 10 reps and then round about six to eight reps on the leg raises. Then you move on to the hamstrings, right? And for the hamstrings, I would just do the isolated hamstring curls. Again, same rep movement. And then maybe a second one such as straight, how do you even call those? Straight deadlifts where you keep the legs straight. And that is it. Then you move on to calves and you finish it. So no fancy exercise, right? Why do I tell you this? You could have found out about that in one minute on Google. Guys, nowadays you see all kinds of exercise, especially for legs. And I salute it. Especially if you look into the women's fitness bodybuilding Instagram lifestyle, you will see, man, there is an abundance. An absolute abundance of exercises for your booty, for your quads, for your hamstrings and whatnot. And don't get me wrong, they do work. Sure, if you need to perfect a single muscle, but that is perfection and to put on bulk mass, you won't need those little isolated exercises, especially not as a beginner.  Guys, you're doing it wrong. All you need is heavy-ass squats and the leg press. That's it. Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, did it the same way. And I just copied the workout of him back in the day. I saw who was the most successful bodybuilder and I just did the same. Dorian Yates, same. It is just two pressing movements. That's it. You can choose squats, you can choose the leg press, the Hexsmith and whatnot. It is about two heavy-ass movements. That's it. Why do I tell you this, guys? It is about simplicity. As with anything in life, it is about simplicity, nothing more, nothing less. The internet is a beautiful place. We have an abundance of information. You can find out about everything, everything and anything, but it is overwhelming. And that is the biggest crutch of the new generation. It truly is. When I was a kid, I started bodybuilding and I had only one DVD, Ronnie Coleman, The Cost of Redemption. Then later on, I found Blood and Guts by Dorian Yates. And that was it, man.  I was hanging on the internet forums and I already acknowledged that with that I had much, much more information than many others before me, many other people that pursued bodybuilding before me. There was no such thing in Arnold days, right? So I was still lucky, but all I had were two DVDs, couple of magazines, I was reading The Flex, I was reading Iron Mac and all of that stuff, right? And I had to figure it out for myself. And what I learned is, it is about simplicity and consistency, nothing more, nothing less, man.  But it is only about simplicity. And me saying that is already boring me because you know it yourself, man. You don't need me to tell you. You know it, you know it exactly. It is about simplicity, but that is too simple. It is too boring. My friend here went to a nutritionist. He has got upset. I told him to try carnival. He couldn't do it because he trusts the nutritionist and he's not to be blamed. That is our mental state as humans. It's normal. So he went to the nutritionist and the nutritionist gave him a super complicated plan. Only quail eggs in the morning do not take chicken eggs, right? Only lentils, not beans, kind of plan based, whatever. Point of the story is no normal human being would ever think of that plan, of that regimen. And therefore you think, I got my money's worth. I got my money's worth. This is amazing. I paid 50 bucks and I got my money's worth because I, little me, I cannot think about something so complex. But the nutritionist, he knows.  The nutritionist knows how to grab your money. And that's what all those fitness regimens know as well. Guys, simplicity is key. Nothing more, nothing less. Back to basics. As to grass. Heavy squats. Only that will get you big. All right guys, and this is it for today's video. I hope you get something out of it. I know, it can be frustrating. It can be disappointing listening to this because you want the key. You want the secret. But there is no secret. I think that is the most valuable learning lesson. To understand that there is no secret.   That is all there is. And once you apply it, you apply it and you are consistent, you will achieve it all. That's it. All right guys, if you like the video, leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, what are you doing? Please do so. And as always guys, much love and peace.


Countrymen and women, each year on the 25th of May, our continent commemorates Africa Freedom Day to mark the founding of the Organization of African Unity. The aim of this organization was to liberate African countries from colonial rule. Today, African countries commemorate this special day by reflecting on key developmental issues that need to be addressed in realizing our social economic development. As a member of the African Union family, Zambia will join the rest of the continent tomorrow in commemorating our Africa Freedom Day. Countrymen and women, while a number of African states are politically independent, men are yet to attend true economic emancipation. The continent is still grappling with many challenges which include instability, food insecurity and the COVID-19 pandemic. The African Union agenda is now focused on creating an Africa with zero hunger. As a country, we are commemorating this year's Africa Freedom Day under the theme leveraging national resources to boost food security. This title draws on the continent to a theme which is strengthening resilience in nutrition and food security on the African continent. Countrymen and women, Zambia and the continent are blessed with vast natural resources including available, arable, land, water, resources, fish, wildlife, minerals as well as the human capital. These resources can improve food security in our country, the region, continent and the rest of the world. If they are properly managed and harnessed, countrymen and women, our country is self-sufficient in the production of crops such as maize, cassava, ground nuts that contribute to our food and nutritional security. A lot, however, still needs to be done to ensure that all of our people have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food and safe drinking water, of course, at all times. The effects of climate change, notably droughts, dry spells, flash floods and others, continue to remain a serious threat to our stability. We also need to improve our production, processing, storage and distribution of food in order to secure our long-term food and nutritional needs. We have an obligation to contribute towards achieving the sustainable development goal of ending hunger on our planet. These tapes will bring down the price of food, support rural communities and contribute to the development of our strong Zambian economy. Countrymen and women, our forests assist in mitigating climate change and protecting water catchment areas. Our wildlife and their habitats are equally critical to enhancing food security in the country. Therefore, we need to manage these natural resources prudently. Countrymen and women, our forefathers and mothers, of course, fought hard to attain the political freedoms we enjoy today. They sacrificed their lives to guarantee our rights to life, liberty and the continued development of our country. To leverage our resources in boosting food and nutrition security in the country, government, or government is implementing various programs. These include the agricultural support program, fisheries and aquaculture, development, livestock development and the scaling up of our nutrition program.  Government is also promoting irrigation development and water harvesting to reduce dependence on rain-fed agriculture. These farming methods should contribute to sustainable food and nutrition security, while helping our farmers and households to increase productivity and build resilience in this sector. Countrymen and women, we are also promoting private sector participation in order to enhance food and nutrition security in the country. As a result, we have more private sector players in areas such as seed and feed production, animal breeding, agro processing and indeed, input distribution. We are also supporting the modernization of agriculture and other sectors through the use of technology, innovation and research. We have zero-rated importation of selected farming equipment and accessories such as irrigation systems, sprayers and animal feed mixers. These are key levers for enhancing productivity and improving food security in our country. It is also ensuring food and nutrition security for the poor and vulnerable in our society. By implementing, of course, the country's strongest ever social transfers, social cash transfers, food security parks and school feeding problems, very important. Countrymen and women, food security is vital, is a vital component of the peaceful and prosperous future. We want for ourselves and our children and children of our children. It empowers families and communities and guarantees our long-term health and well-being of our people. Countrymen and women, Africa Freedom Day is a reminder of the sacrifice and efforts of our forefathers and mothers made to liberate our continent from colonial rule. Yet, while we celebrate freedoms, we must remind fellow citizens that freedom does not connote, does not equate to criminality. This is not allowed. This is not acceptable in our modern era. To maintain peace and stability in our country, the continent and the world, the rule of law must be respected all the time. Countrymen and women, as part of our commemoration of Africa Freedom Day, we are pardoning 2,652 inmates who are detained in various correctional facilities. We believe in showing strength through our compassion, and we believe in rights for all citizens, including the right to life. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, and as part of these pardons, we have commuted the sentences of 30 of those who are on death row to life in prison. The new dawn government has taken a decision, a big decision, to end the death penalty in our country. We will work with parliament to run through this process as we transition away from the death penalty and focus on the preservation, rehabilitation of life while still delivering justice for all. This is important. We believe in it. Countrymen and women, we appeal to the present generation to preserve and deepen our freedoms. We will not take the freedoms we already enjoy for granted, but we will hold them in trust for future generations. Africa Freedom Day is a symbol of our collective commitment to secure a better future for all. Countrymen and women, we wish you and your families a peaceful Africa Freedom Day. Let us commemorate the day responsibly and ensure that we abide by COVID-19 guidelines. Long live our freedom. Long live Zambia. Long live Africa. Long live our world. May the Almighty God bless us all. I thank you for your kind attention.


If you're new to the channel or to the series, what you're going to see is my 81 year old best friend and I are going to build a wilderness cabin along with Stevie and a few other friends in the North Main Woods. You're going to see us do everything from knocking down trees and milling all of the lumber for the build to clearing the lot, hauling it and gravel and shale. And we're going to show you every step along the way of just how easy it is and maybe some of the difficulties along the way. You'll see us loading our lumber on a lumber truck and getting it delivered up into the wilderness of the North Main Woods. It's quite a project, quite an undertaking and we're going to try to show you guys every step of the way from us on the build day by day and step by step. We're no experts by any means but we do have a lot of fun doing this and Donny has a lot of experience in building. So come along on the journey, it's a lot of fun for us and hopefully it's fun for you as well.  Oh, hum. I can't wake up this morning. Enjoy the time. What time is it? 6.20. Oh my God, it's late. Yeah, it's up in really late. I don't know what time were you up, Stevie? 5.30, I guess. Oh, wow. Your usual get up time? Yeah. Yeah, I had to pee so bad I had to get up and had no idea what time it was. Yeah. 5.30, so I figured I'd make a fire and get coffee started. Yeah, it's good to have that chill taken off of that stove. Yeah. That helped, it warms up pretty quick in here. Welcome back as we document our wilderness cabin build. This is where we left off yesterday. We were able to get a couple of walls up, got the sub flooring down, and they're all ready to put on the gable ends. You got enough studs? I think I need one more. Okay, there's some right here. Okay. I knew you were going to steal one of my studs, darling. When it's got to be straight, I'm so lucky to be able to do this. How frigging lucky would it be? It's amazing. That's what he asked here. We start the day out with Stevie framing the gable end on the east wall. I'm working on building headers, and Donny's working on something that's a couple steps ahead of both of us. In between hammers and nail guns and circular saws, I hear a moose grunt on the next ridge over. You hear that moose? No, did you hear one? I still got the truck to call in. Huh? Yeah, yeah, go for it. Did you see him, buddy? Yeah. He was 15 yards. He was right. You see that birch right there? Yeah. He was right behind that 15 yards away at one point. Did you get him on camera or anything? I was on him. It's just so dark in the woods. He's still in this path. Yeah, he didn't go too far.  So I'm like, I know what I stink. I knew I was such a bad luck if he got wind. He weren't coming out, so I tried to get around him. Donny and I had a good view of him. Oh, you did? You got a good look at him, Donny? Well, not a good, but I could see you. Moose up is a lot easier this time of year, isn't it? Yeah, when we did go. I called him. He didn't cross the road. He didn't cross, no. He's still here. I heard him take like three steps kind of that way when I started raking the bushes. That was cool. Tell Donny if we ever get drawn for another tag. Just hang out at King's. Just sit right here. I got chalk right here. See that? The shorter Milwaukee box. It was in there. I don't know if it made it back or not. Measure in four inches from the other plate. Which is, yeah. From the plate. Wow. From the end of this plate. That's flush from the outside. Is that plate flush? Oh yeah. The plate's the key though, right? Because we were square and flush. All right. And plumb. So if I measure four inches in from this plate, we should be golden. Should be. Because I trust we're overhanging here, so I'll go off the plate. I'd rather go off the plate, because we know this, this. Right. Is that going to put us out or in? It'd be right. No, like on this. I thought you said you noticed a little in this strip. Oh, on the, on the, uh, the band tech. Yeah. It felt like it stuck out a little bit. Okay. Places. Which we can grind off of it. He's got that wall looking friggin' gorgeous. Jesus, Jesus. Oh, do you wind it into the threads? Must have. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, I gotcha. Pretty straight. The first one was the second one, just double-check the end. Yeah. It looks like it's his. Yeah, don't worry about that. We'll board right over it. Drive the nail right to it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. If the top of that header's in and he's not on it, we're going to just send the board across it anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. When you nail to it, if a board breaks right on it, nail it to the 2x4, if you can, not the 2x8. Get the 2x8 in. When we're boarding, I'll get you a level, Donny. Hold on. Do it to here, but you can either way. Just hold that stud up, and we need seven more studs. Seven more studs, Donny. I'll get them. Get fancy jigs. Yeah. Check it once. Big mistake. That's what my parents told me. So I was 16, Donny. I'm going to be 19 by 27. Perfect. We'll save money on taxes. Yeah, making it as heavy as we can. What was that sum this, 86 and a quarter? 64 and three quarters. You keep thinking we left on four. Stevie and I left on three. They left it on four. It's not staying. Can you pull as I... Am I hitting something on that? That's why. We're going to hammer. Stevie, hammer. Hey, look at that now. We're going to take it apart. That's why she went down through. She hit a knot.  Beautiful. All right, Stevie, you lift that wall and we'll watch. All right. Donny, you ready for us to lift this wall? I'm ready to help you. Try it. You only lift with your back. Yeah. All right. Don't lift with your little legs. I don't know how you get in this place. Hold on one second. I'm wondering if I shouldn't lean these out just to hair. I'd try it, right? Try it. Squeeze them.  Oh, here you go. That's your favorite thing to do. You love nailing that plate. Look at the size of that kid's calves. That makes three of us. Look at his calves, Donny. Look at his calves. Under his knees. That makes two people. That makes two people right there. We're doing this, Stevie. We're going to get about a quarter of the way up. She's going to fetch up on the other wall. If it does, I'm going to release one of these. Can I get some blocks in there? Yeah, let's get some more. I got two here. I couldn't make it any heavier. This was it. I picked out all the heavy two by fours. Put that window in. Yeah. Donny, you want to put that window in? The other side. I guess you're going to be heavy. Release it right now. I would think so, Donny. I'd love to release it right now. We've got a brace here. She shouldn't go anywhere. You've got to get to where you can still push off even though you're in the middle. You ready, Donny? I'm ready. I don't know if you can do that. One, two, three. Hold on. One, two. A little fire on the left side, Donny. How's your right side? Your side. No, I'm at the bottom. We went a little... Four or five inches. Yeah, good. Perfect. Right here it can come in. Start down here. I like this building stuff, Stevie. You're good to hear, Donny. All I got to do is whatever you guys tell me. I don't see that building stuff. Neither one of us know. Look at this wall. This is awesome. Wow, this is something going on. Yeah, I've got to come out. Hold on. This is good right here. This isn't so good out here. Way in. Well, that's what it is. Is this good here? Perfect. It's showing the line. Yeah, we did it, Donny. I mean, we could have hung it out. It's not too late. We can hang it out a half. Flush right there, right? Flush at the top. Flush at the top. We've got to come out a little bit. We've got to make that flush at the top. I know. To back it. Okay. You know, it probably isn't perfect. How is it showing level this other way? The top's been welling here, right? I know. Got a little bit. Not there? I'm saying it's perfect right there. We've got to make the top level. Do you want to finish the bottom first? Yeah. We'll worry about that in a minute. We don't have a string for this one, so we're just going to line it up to out here. Okay. It went a lot easier. We might not have a problem. Right? It shouldn't. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, if you can do it, we'll give it to you. I'm going to cap that another one. One more in. What do you mean? Pull the nails. Get it to here. Get it to here and then do it. One, two, three. Ready? One, two, three. She's so narrow. That wall can't be leveled. I'm hoping that wall is not leveled. We'll make it up with a buddy. Difference and thickness of these studs. Okay. Then I can help him. Which way are you going to go? No, I just need to build one wall an extra two inches longer. There you go. That's where the door is. We'll be cut out anyway. There's a mouth to put somebody through there. I mean, we'll have this boarded anyway, but still. Yeah. Pretty flush on the bottom. Best it can be? Best it can be. They're different. Oh, yeah. Are they apart? Yeah. Yep. The head was washed. Even though this is just going into that spacer, it's still better than nothing, right? Yeah, better than nothing. Stick and thin the other way. Stick and thin lumber company. So smash the higher one straight down. All right. That's all you're going to get. It's worth taking any. Anything we can get? Yeah. It's higher? Yeah. Quarter. Can't have any help. Hang on to your ladder. No, the wall. Give me a toenail big enough. I'll move the world. Still up. Work it down. Right here. You have to move them. It's this magical level. Well, it's not working. You just have Donny cut it. What's this going to be? Don't have them cut. He's got a simple brace. Yeah, have them cut a 10, 12 footer, 10 footer. To your measure. Two by four cut for a brace. We want to keep it inside the wall, so it doesn't go to like the middle of that. You need an angle on it. 10 would be perfect if you want to do a 45 on. All right. You can. That's going out the door. So if you're long, that's fine too.  Once it's directly over the line. You're probably going to have to pull in for me. Okay. Yeah, pull in. Can you get this started? Okay. Yeah. Pulling in about a half. Did you already pull it in? I did. You want to go out of here? Yeah. Good. Yeah, that might be enough. I keep thinking like heat's going to be a problem. We might have too much heat. Yeah, I think we probably will. You could probably lay out this way for honest studs. Yeah, just leave him in that room for his flights. Six by six. Two by eight's got to be seven foot eight. Oh, you already know what they are? Eight foot eight. Seven foot eight. Seven foot from here. Seven foot eight. So one inch higher of our jig. Throw a one inch board in there. Seven foot eight. We're going to make a total of eight feet from here. Is that what we're doing next? Yeah. Great. We're doing that for one foot eight, right here? Well, you're doing the 14-eight total. 14-eight from the end. Yeah. Here. Nope. We're going to measure one. Wow. On the other side. Did we cover it? No. Pretty sure. That was 14-eight here. There you go. To the long point. Yep. 14-eight, one-seventy-six. That's the only way we could have done it. Down, down, down. He's out cold. We're just a little bit more. One more. Three hours to get out. So this one one is 14. So it went back eight. They stitched it up. My wife's mother is an ER nurse at Mercy. Yeah. And I called her. And she's like, Mercy won't be able to wait. Let me see if I can get ahold of my friend that main man. Where? And I drove down there. One morning. And went to a orthopedic associate. Went in there. And just straight up. It was like, yeah, I have a drink. I got my surgery that day. And reattached everything. 14-five-sixteenths. Uh, Donnie. Write that down. And let's go get the last one. Let's get that last one. Because look, if that last one makes it on this block, on that block, you could steal it out of that post. Oh yeah. We might only have to... Here, using chains. Well, in here, I was trying to do Mr. Safety. Yeah, I think we might make it. Yeah, go ahead. 14. Dory, we'll see you, bud. Yes, you will. Yeah, take care. 12 and 3 quarters. Yeah, swing it around. It was standing less than a week ago. We'll get him for a squared. Donnie. We're going right to the end, right? Yeah. Gonna come back. Let me lift it so we don't canter these. Ready? Yeah. Beautiful. Looks like it's gonna mess you up. Use it somewhere else. The next step is putting on the top plate. This doubles up the plate, and it overlaps other joints on the top plate. So it really helps stiffen up the entire building and each individual wall. This middle partition's gonna get overlapped on the outer, longer walls, which will hold them together. Working with a rough cut lumber, there's a little bit of thick and thin going on. There's some bent lumber and a little bit of twist to it. But we make it work. What you think, old boy? I'm thinking it's a beautiful day out. I'm thinking we are some freakin' lucky to have everyone on board. I got bread here. You got bread? In all the years, I think I'll get the camera for this one. I think I know what you're gonna say. You already know it? Yeah. In all the years I've worked with Donnie, I've only seen them wrong once. You know what? What are you gonna say, Joey? Well, we were cutting that tree for the collar die, for Greg's camp. Yeah. And you had me shave it down. Yeah. Go find the straightest spruce and shave it. And peel it, yep. We got it up on the staging. And then, boys, put it on. We need some! We need some! We're not used to it. You're there at the bottom goal like this and then you just start laughing. And you go, is this 28 or 26? Yep. Let's go and make the drawing on that one. The next morning, when I was peeling the next log, a moose walked right through camp, five feet from me. No way. Yep, didn't even flinch. Can't use it. No! How are you putting that friggin' shaky thing out? I don't have to do it. It's going out. I'll cut the shake out of it. Oh, yeah. Those are all 12. I'll try to do better than that. If you're so fussy.  Well, that's gonna do it for this episode, guys. Thanks for tuning in. We really appreciate all the support, the comments, questions, subscriptions, all the thumbs up. It was so far a great day. We were able to get those gable end walls up. Everything squared up. The top plate's on. And we're starting to build the deck. So stay tuned. Next episode, we're gonna sheath this building in and get the front deck framed and on. It's starting to look like a cabin.


What up guys, I didn't exactly know what to call this video because their developers are working faster that I can make videos about I could there's like five features that I could show today, but I'm gonna focus on one of them Which is the layout engine in blender that The engine that draws the buttons in the interface in the UI There are usually in blender It works with a multi-column system, so it has usually two columns and sometimes even more and That it's it it manages to put a lot of buttons in in one You know one panel, but it means that your panel has to be wider for you to actually read what's going on Let's let's see an example here in 2.7. So the dimensions panel for example where you set your render your render size and everything has Column for the resolution for the frame range aspect ratio and reference some some of the columns make sense to be displayed like that But this in this case, they don't really make that much sense There are areas where for example the samplings for For cycles here There is this column that is fairly filled in then there is a button that is all across and There is this column that doesn't fill in all the way here. So there is like an empty There's like a gap in there in the in the UI if you change the branch branch path tracing More buttons fill in that column, but then there's also like empty space again then suddenly there are labels and this part on the bottom is an add-on but There are these it has this problem that one you have to have the the UI wide enough to read Otherwise if you have it too small, you don't get to read that much and there's empty gaps Sometimes if the area doesn't fill in properly and this happens all over the place. Look at this in geometry There's like an empty. It's like a football field worth of space left there And this happens all over the place so the solution is to go with a simple column which solves many of these issues, especially the one about the empty space There's basically no empty space Because the itch is per row. So when you run out of rows, you just the panel ends there. So All this gain space by splitting things vertically you can gain it horizontally So look at the sides of my viewport and look at when I fill it in with all That's I fill in all the text there then it again so much more and there are a few Fixes that I need to be done for example this setting in particular is on this side, but it will be aligned to the right Sometimes when you split there is like one character missing there that it's it's just the line in alignments things to fix Let's see the samples one on cycles. This is the one that I was showing here Let's go sampling I'm gonna make my window always on top here and Let's see the sampling over here And in this case I have to have two columns because that's how I can get to read what is going on But in the one single the single column layout I can just simply shrink much more and still get to read the settings and It's also easier just to see Which what setting does what? It's so much You gain a lot of space. So this is pretty nice More things to be fixed the The presets right now here there they use the whole roll But the idea is to put these presets on the header so you can have it up here So for example if you have dimensions you can have 4k and then you could have it up here next to the the little widget to to drag it could be up here So you should select 4k for example, and you don't have to have the whole row then you gain more space because presets are usually always on the top of the Of the the panel so it makes sense. It's instead of having it up here Putting it on the same name because panel names are usually short enough And even if you shrink it a lot you still have room for some more buttons there and presets It means also that you can set presets while the panel is closed So you could have the panel close and then just from here like click and change to 4k 2k whatever We could even add more this way we couldn't since we have the the system for presets much more Available much more clear you could use it more often. So this is I think it's a great improvement Some work since every panel Has to have this feature is so anything every panel is defined in Python in Blender in the UI So every panel has to define like it's a single layout So if it's not done for that panel It will just use the the old layout the the regular one that you can make as many columns as you want So add-ons in this case if they don't set up that setting they can use the old System and it will just work that won't change and since This has to go we have to go through every panel and and assign and make this new layout It's very fast to do but you have to go through every panel. So in the meantime while doing that we are also getting rid of some of the redundant panels this this work actually is being done by William and Campbell So one for example one panel that always bother me is this panel that transform locks It's a whole panel in 2.7 that it's only for locking their location rotation and scale When they actually belong here, you know location it locks this location and the same for the other the the other settings So it makes sense to have it all in one in the new system this is much more clear because then the panel goes away and then the Lock is part of the column right here and we can shrink this all the way to a readable State and here since we had three that's a lot three columns then Yeah, you have to have it like at least this wide. So we are having we end up with like a half-sized Panel which is pretty nice, of course, there is a bit more scrolling but that Scrolling and with the shortcuts to collapse panels then it's it's not That bad and if you it's easier just to collapse many panels So you can just click and drag to to click and and you didn't know the feature You can click and drag to open multiple panels or click drag down and then it will close them Or you can also if you have multiple panels on you only one one you can control click and it will click close all the other panels Having this simple layout also will allow it to have new features. For example, we could have a Button that you could add a keyframe on the settings that can have keyframes So for example, you can have there is a there is a already a mock up that it will have like the keyframe icon next to This setting so it will only take like one more icon space Where you could click on it and it will add a keyframe right now You have to right-click and then insert single keyframe and it will add a keyframe It's nice. Yeah, you have to right-click, but the thing is if You don't know that the setting can be keyed then you have to right-click to know it's like, oh, okay It's a setting cable. Okay. I have to right-click and then know if I can key it or not if you have it there all the time it it's more gives it more visibility and more people will be We'll be wanting to animate it's like it gives it more discoverer ability discoverer My English is broken. It's 9 p.m. And I wanted to make so many more videos, but The developers are working way too fast I think that that sums up what it's for this setting It's not all over the place and it's only done in places where it makes sense. For example the Relation is another fix that in 2.7. You have the relations and then you have a panel for relations Extras so these two have been merged now. It's just relations so Also the the properties that don't make any more sense like the layers for example, they are not here anymore but you can shrink it way more right now and if you have Objects patented and everything will show up just as usual Some panels for example Well the display I also like it because you can since everything is one column You can just click drag down and enable everything at once click drag Texture space by the way, this is something that the clema added today as well. It wasn't there in 2.8 While before you will have two columns so you can't you have to click down and then drag up I think that set in the panels where it doesn't make sense like in this case having one per row It doesn't doesn't make sense. They fit in one and this is they will stay the same the the radio settings But that way is much more readable. You can see it on and off. This one says on off What does it mean that it's on and off to do please? Oh the labels would have to be tweaked I've seen some for example the sampling It says render samples previous sample square samples and when you have branch but trace it has samples in every column Label so maybe we can just say samples at the beginning and then group them There is also the idea to have sub panels inside of the In seat inside of this layout system. I think there are some parts where That is already the case. I think in the movie clip editor there's if you lower if you load a clip editor you will find there's some Settings that have I can't find it right here But some of them had like a mini panels inside that is planned to become part of the actual blender Like the layout itself of blender so that will also benefit a lot of Add-ons that have too many buttons and they want to have smaller panels within So this is this is a great thing is that the blender improves and then all the add-ons can make use of this and I think that that's it Just a quick one is that now the shader editor the compositing editor and the texture editor They are all reachable from these editor type So you don't have to go to node editor and then change to shader and then node editor and then change to Compositing but you can just change it from here, which is much more Clear when it gives also more discover ability. I need to learn how to say that word. That is it for today I have so many other things that I wanted to show there is that there is a new panel in them In the workbench engine for changing the materials I Will go through it tomorrow. There is also so many neat things going on plus. This is a quick one is that many if you have used to point it in the past few days you've seen that the updates for Cycles and for eevee were not really happening. You will move things and it wouldn't update now some of those Have been tackled some of these cases have been tackled so you can actually move things around and It should it should update More Reliable eevee as well. So this is pretty neat and more work like this continues to happen every day improvements Speed apps now the dependency graph some of the updates are on par with 2.7 So it's everything should start to get a bit more responsive and more and faster as the team here And everybody at the blender issue that we are like 20 people right now at the Blender Studio and everybody is reporting backs and keeping the developers busy So stay tuned for more and I will see you again tomorrow. Yes. Bye


from the Masonic in San Francisco. It's theCUBE, covering Lenovo Tech World 2016. Brought to you by Lenovo. Now, here are your hosts. Stu Miniman and John Walls. And welcome back to Lenovo Tech World. John Walls with Stu Miniman. We continue our coverage here at Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco's Lenovo. Rolled out just a whole line of interesting consumer and infrastructure products today. And to help us talk about that is Radhika Krishnan. She rejoices the GM of Converged and Hyperconverged at Lenovo, and Radhika, good to see you once again here on theCUBE. We're glad to be here, John. Again, very exciting times for Lenovo. Lots of new announcements that came out earlier part of this week. What about the stage that we're on, literally, here? We're on the keynote stage right now. Just about an hour and a half, two hours ago, we had the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Home and Garden TV hosts and whatever, releasing some great product. Sorry to start to stop on your job, but we had Intel CEO here, and it was the CTO of Juniper, which is in your space. So it's kind of an interesting mix of both the consumer, cool stuff, and as YY put it so eloquently, the boring infrastructure stuff that we all love and play with. That is correct. So yeah, definitely, as it was clearly demonstrated this morning, the data thinner group within Lenovo just isn't about service. We've got an extensive portfolio in networking who are continuing to grow our assets. There's obviously an organic set of products that we bring to the market, and then there is our partnership with Juniper as well that allows us to complement and bring forward a very comprehensive set of offerings in the networking arena. So, Radhika, for those that don't know the lineage, maybe you can map out for us, the pieces that Lenovo have from, it's not just the System X, I remember the B&T acquisition kind of came over. You know, there's converged piece that you have, so give us the owned OEM'd and partnered map if you would. Absolutely, Stu. So, as you rightly pointed out, Lenovo actually has a very rich heritage in networking that comes about by virtue of the acquisition of blade network technologies a while back. And what we offer organically is top rack switches and network operating systems and applications and protocols that go along with it that are absolutely required by your data center customer that's looking to deploy servers and connect them up, right? So, think of it as the foundational server connectivity product. In addition to that, as you probably are aware, we also have a bladed set of offerings and there are switches that get embedded as part of that. So, that belongs in this portfolio as well. Now, that is in terms of the core set of offerings. The really cool thing that I will point out in the context of our organic portfolio is an announcement that we made earlier this week around the release of a cloud network operating system. So, if you think about what's happening, you know, if you just step back and think about what's happening in the data center as a whole, you know, there is this move towards scale out towards hyperscale. And if you think about what you need in order to enable those hyperscale types of environments with thousands of servers, networking becomes the backbone, right? And so, it's incredibly critical that your server connectivity scales to multiple thousands of objects and that's what we're enabling with this cloud network operating system that we came out with. It is also programmable.  They want to do it using DevOps. What we have done with our network operating system is provide that programmability as well. Plus, the other interesting feature set and functionality it brings as well as around debugability and so on. So, you know, again, customers want that visibility and as they deploy networking, they want to know what's going on, you know, where the bottlenecks are and so on. And so, one of the things our cloud network operating system enables is that level of transparency internet working. So, that is in terms of our organic portfolio. Okay, so the cloud networking operating system is your target market. Most of the, is it the hyperscales and some large enterprises, combination in between? It is actually a combination of both. So, if you think about it, you know, your average data center customer is moving to that scale out model. I mean, we just talked about converged and hyperconverged. So, the traction, the movement is toward large number of smaller nodes that can, that all need to be connected together and that need to work as a whole. And so, that's where the phenos becomes extremely relevant. Okay, and from a, so that's the software piece from a hardware standpoint. It sits on your hardware. Can it sit on another hardware or what? That is correct. So, as you may be very well aware, you know, with the networking, there is this trend toward defa-gregation, right? And defa-gregation happens at multiple levels, if you will. So, there is defa-gregation of the data plane and the control plane, which is what has given birth to software-defined networking and networking, virtualized networking, overlays and things of that nature. There is also another level of defa-gregation that's playing out in the context of networking and that is the defa-gregation of hardware and software. So, particularly, you know, if you look at telco kinds of verticals or hyperscale customers, you know, their tendency is to optimize the hardware, standalone and then to buy software independent of the hardware. And so, one of the things that we have been doing as moving forward is really delivering what are known as only compliant platforms. So, essentially, what that gives you is the ability to, you know, essentially run any other operating system on top of it. And vice versa, our cloud network operating system can be run on other hardware platforms as well. Okay, so that reminds me of Juniper strategy then, correct? Yes. So, maybe a good transition to talk about the partnership with Juniper and, you know, what was announced this week? Absolutely. So, Juniper is a great compliment to what Lenovo brings in the networking space. As I mentioned earlier, you know, our core portfolio is really focused around top-rack switches. But if you look at what you really need in the classic data center, you know, the three-tier networking architecture, you know, you need aggregation switches, you need core switches. And then as you start going outside the data center, customers are also looking for routers, you know, they're looking for firewalls, load balancers, security products, they're looking for software-defined networking as well. And Juniper, as you're very well aware, has a very rich heritage in that networking arena, in the ability to cater to, you know, that wide swath of customer needs in those areas. And the partnership gives us the ability to walk in the customer environments hand-in-hand and be able to demonstrate to them that we have everything that they need in order to deploy a complete solution. And you're putting that in the practice office. You had an announcement today, I believe, about what Juniper, with product that you're moving forward, or services that you're moving forward with them. And we'll go a little bit more on that. Yes, absolutely. So what we announced today were a couple of things. So we now have the ability to both OEM as well as refill Juniper offerings. In addition to that, what we're also doing is helping customers are providing them blueprints of how they can deploy the combination of Juniper and Lenovo offerings for various use cases. So a couple of the ones that I'll point at, you know, there is a remote office, branch office kind of deployment where you may want to deploy a power over ethernet switch, for instance, in combination with other products from the Lenovo portfolio. So that's one of the instances of we're delivering a solution blueprint that sell us from both sides as well as, you know, system integrators can go sell to customers. Another use case that we're focusing on is virtual private data center. So again, going back to the comment that I made earlier where, you know, you need to have a strong networking backbone in order to deploy this notion of a private cloud. We're partnering with Juniper with, you know, we're using spine switches from Juniper, we're using our access layer, we're pulling in software components from VMware and we've architected a blueprint that allows customers to basically take it and, you know, pretty much off the shelf and buy a bill of materials and deploy it in their environments. Just in general, if you take a big picture here, taking a step back, you've got this almost like inexorable link between data centers and networking, right?  I mean, how do you characterize that relationship and what do you focus on in terms of making sure that it works? Yes, that's a great question, John. And then again, if you think about, you know, some of the trends that, you know, that have been getting talked about for just convergence, for instance, or hyper-scale deployments, these are all about optimizations across servers and networking, right? Conversion and hyper-conversion are all about, you know, how you put various components within the infrastructure together, such that they work in a much more efficient and a much more optimal fashion. And so that's really where the bulk of the focus has been. So again, if you look at the focus of the business that I manage, it's all around converged and hyper-conversion networking, which are all extremely synergistic to each other. So, Radhika, you know, in partnerships with Juniper and with Nutanix, can you talk about the services piece of that? Because customers are, of course, always looking for that single-throat to joke. Yeah, how does Lenovo look at those partnerships? And that is, that's a great question, too, because that's one of the areas where we believe we can add a lot of value. Lenovo clearly has a global footprint, you know, we have presence in many, many countries across the globe, and we have the ability to provide the level of support and services that enterprise customers can count on. And to your point, having that single-throat to joke, that is huge for a lot of customers. So that is a very distinct advantage that we believe we can bring to the table with these partnerships. We've been asking various guests here just to perhaps look down the road a little bit. And there's always a next step, right?  So what is that for you? 12, 18-month timeframe? I mean, what kind of roadmap do you have? Yeah, that's a great question, John. So, you know, I'll go back to some of the trends that are playing out in the industry that we have been heavily monitoring, tracking, as well as investing in. One of the ones that I alluded to earlier is the smooth towards virtual networking, right? Software-defined networks, network fabric virtualization known as NFV, that is catching on like wildfire and telco and hyperscale kind of environments. And so, you know, our teams are actively working on delivering those types of solutions. And then when you start looking at converged and hyper-converged as well, you know, there is, you can almost argue that networking is the next frontier, right? So the storage problem has been solved to some extent. Hyper-converged systems today crunched down, compute and storage together, but networking is still that unknown, relative unknown. And what we believe, where we believe we can really add value is by focusing on that networking piece, by optimizing networking such that it is much more compatible and it works much better with the converged, hyper-converged environments is one of the key areas that we're investing in as well. Well, first, before we say so long, how do you feel about being on the keynote stage? I mean, this was kind of- This is very exciting for us. And my setup, isn't it? This is, yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, loving it. This is a very exciting day for Lenovo. As I mentioned earlier, lots of very cool data center announcements that happened earlier this week. We announced some industry-leading benchmarks that you'll hear about from our server leader. We had some pretty cool announcements about our storage partnerships. Clearly, as I mentioned earlier, we've now announced our brand new cloud network operating system, our partnership with Juniper. And then, on the hyper-converged front as well, we just rolled out a series of platforms targeted toward the SMB customers. So this has been an extremely exciting week for us here within DCG at Lenovo. It's a great future ahead of you. We appreciate the time here. You're double-dipped on theCUBE today. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you, it's a pleasure. We'll be back with more from the Lenovo tech world in 2016, get together here in San Francisco in just a bit, right here on theCUBE.
