Weziwa kukitto kata tlipu, ja na pwaya yuko natsu kuwa, mwagini, yuko kutu pwaya, pwaya yuko naku kura kisha. Tkwa wazu. Yes. How it went down with your podcast? Well actually the podcast came after I lost my sight. It wasn't before. Before I lost my sight I was studying media. I was in the university so I had to drop out because of that. Had to change my course since my major was in film production. Good course. Yes. So after that started the podcast at home with my friend. And then school came in. Had to go to Machakos where we went to learn how to be mobile, to learn braille, how to do my business basically. And then we never got back to it as per se. But football has been part of my life since a small boy. First love is football. Everything is football. I support Man City of course. I joined because of Carlos Tevez actually. I never told people that. I joined because of Tevez. I think he was the best striker at his time. But very controlled. Better than Wayne Rooney? I think, yeah. He was underused. Debatable though? Yeah debatable but Rooney played more than he did. Yes. Wow. That's a nice intro. And Tyra Zwayaike of course is still here with us. And Queensland is the uncle. Yes his dad is my first cousin. And really I'm amazed that there's someone in the family who wants to take after me. I started football analysis in the year 2000 on metro television. And because it was a sister station to the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation I also doubled on Kenya Broadcasting Corporation doing soka analysis which I started pretty much soon after making my debut on metro television when he did the World Cup in 2002 and UFO Champions League, Africa Cup of Nations, international, friendlies. And he went overseas a little bit all the way he came back. Stop, stop, stop. Stop feeling to tell us about that. Yes. But he went to UK and slightly supported noting on forest my team. No, no, no. You would do that. Anyway, all those things and aside from this I do writing, I do loads and loads of writing. Actually I began writing before I went into broadcast. And Jimmy here also does writing. Coincidental. It's funny how blood works. So I have someone in the family, the next line, the next generation of the family who's taking after me and I did not groom him in any way or shape any form. Automati. No, this is not a dynasty. It's a standout one day. It just happened. So let's get straight into it. And Manceta City now will be playing Paris and Germany in the French money bikes in the semifinal of UFO Champions League football after aging out Borussia Dortmund. Yes. A few people didn't expect city to perform the way they performed during the return leg following what happened in the first leg where Dortmund. Albit gave them a scare. But this was city's game to win. Yes. Nobody, as much as Dortmund may have had a bit of an edge but Manceta City, I think it's time to pull out the stops in the good games. It's time for Manceta to shine. This Champions League has been invading Manceta for too long. Too long. Actually we've never won it. We've never won. That's too long. Yeah. I mean now we have pay up we've had arguably the best team I mean in the 11, the best 11 pick of the season I mean you get Manceta players all over that team for the past 9, 10 years yeah. So this is the time this is the time they're all driven they're motivated and this is the season. This is the season. You were saying of my you were saying of how you know most of your legends have left the club without winning a silverware in UFO Champions League football title. That is Carlos Tevez himself. Yes. Who else? David Silva. David Silva. David Silva. Yeah, yeah. Now that you have announced you will leave this season. Yeah. Everybody. I think this is the time. This has to be the time. While there is still that to end the decade let me say we have to end the decade on a high cause this has been Manceta's decade. Yeah. Four Premier League titles. Yeah. I think four Carabao Cups a few FA Cups. Yeah. But then you get to the Champions League and you get semi final as our best performance and I'm a city fan but they can choke. Manceta knows how to choke at the worst moments. I mean last season against Leon. Yeah. In the Champions League we saw what happened. It's like they were not even there. So I don't know. But I have hope. I have hope. I have hope. This is it. This is it. This is it. How about you Teras? You watched the a quarter final stage of UEFA Champions League football. I mean I had my dream. I mean Jigout Liverpool as expected now Eden Hazard would be facing his home employer Chelsea at the semi final stage. Do you think Thomas Tushel can continue with this scintillating Fung? Well yes but I'm in mourning. He's celebrating about Manchester City and Israel. By and unique my childhood team have been supporting them close to 40 years. They lost midweek in the UEFA Champions League got booted out by PSG. Obviously the Lewandowski effect his absence might have I think definitely played a role in there being eliminated though a bit blunt up front and you know Lewandowski his other name is Lewagolski because he knows how to do the business and his absence might must have cost us. So yeah that was hard to take over to your question Tukel versus PSG that one definitely is not easy versus Real Madrid sorry yeah versus Real Madrid obviously that one is not easy because Real Madrid whenever Zidane is back in the hellmanship of the squad he's he's got the mitre starch he's always able to bring out the best of Real Madrid you remove him from that position same players new manager or different manager and the same team is not able able to pull out all those stops but when they have Zidane he seems to have this magic wand that he waves around and takes Real Madrid to ecstasy I've silently not on air ruled him out before in previous Champions League and he's gone out to win a treble of Champions Leagues I'm not going to rule him out again but at the same time I'm not going to underestimate what Chelsea are able of pulling out now but I think the scales are heavily tipped towards Real Madrid's favor Parise Jamai the effect of Kylian in Barpe they were under kid amazing boy and I think he's done very much at his age of course in partnership with you know Neymar who was voted as the Champions League player of the week do you think it works magic in their favor against the opponents it most likely did I mean their chemistry is too good football aside those two I think have a way of communicating in a way that the ball just moves very freely and then at the pace of Mbappe it's just it's amazing I don't know but I expected more from Bayern especially with Mula and Topa Moutin now replacing Levantoski up front and he scored two goals home and away for his team against former employers because initially playing for PSG do you agree with your hanko you know Levantoski was a big setback Levantoski yes I mean with the number of goals he puts in for the club any game without him you can't help but miss him because like if he was there you can only imagine if Levantoski had played you can imagine endless possibility endless but I don't know they still had a chance in that game they still they were still there Leo Isabe you were former player now featuring Bayern Munich do you agree that he was wasteful alongside Kings Lecoman on the flanks well he wasn't all that good that's the thing he was just it wasn't his night I guess let me say it wasn't his night let me not call him wasteful it was just a bad day to be in a Bayern shirt yeah yeah so who do you expect at the semi-final stage where do you place your man when I look at it city again city again that is a pulsating clash that you know a lot of people are looking for it because it's a dub before it's a dub repeating you know the money bags when you look at how PSG are playing now you would have to be unrealistic to rule them out they are playing they are very ruthless oh goodness absolutely that's the word but not ruthless in an unkind way ruthless in a very executional manner they are doing the business everything is working for them like clockwork and they are you cannot believe this is a team that plays in the French league which doesn't get much respect as it ought to get you think they are from the Spanish La Liga or some team that's owned by a billionaire in England they are playing so so well the touches the quickness of those touches the capacity to run to add the opponent whenever you lose the ball and get it back and then counter attack it's a joy to watch PSG when was the last time you had someone say so it's a joy to watch PSG well it is they are playing you look at them at midfield and you just want to cry and then you get to the final that definitely cry look at what Mbappe is doing the Ling Cups with Neymar in fact Neymar you guys just spoke about Leroy San having a bad day at the office Neymar was like man of the match but he didn't have the best of days in the office imagine what it would have been like if he had the best of days that side is let's talk about Bayern Munich not Bayern Munich, Real Madrid despite the absence of their regular centre-bugs Sergio Ramos and Rafiil Varani they still did very well of course getting deputized by Nacho and Militao and of course they are midfield trio of Tony Klose, Luca Modric and Wales and Kasemiro also worked very well against the opponents Real Madrid I like Real Madrid silently I just never say it out in public their midfield is great their attacking is great if you add also like Benzema and and Vinicius Junior it's hard to fault Real Madrid any game Real Madrid walk into especially Champions League as Taira said they have to have the upper hand it's them or it's it's Real Madrid's trophy to lose by the way this champions league? yes I mean I may be a city fan saying we'll win but look at the stats with Zidane and Champions League I think they are the favourites but we just have to prove them wrong hopefully Chelsea does that Chelsea should stop them with the game Chelsea are playing right now Chelsea are probably the team to beat anywhere because Chelsea are clinical and ruthless at this point in time so I don't know Chelsea but I hope I'm hoping for an English final Man City Chelsea and talking about English final in UEFA Champions League football the second tier for Europe a club football competition that is Europe League there is also two English Premier League clubs at the semifinal stage Arsenal and United after of course aging out the open ends Lataprag and Granada respectively what do you think about United United meeting Arsenal at the final certainly that is a matter of possibilities well the potential of that would be great if they were to meet in the final because they are meeting Roma but obviously ultimately the tail end would be the final if they get there and the prospect of two English clubs doing so is quite real and it would be nice for the banter but really just for the banter maybe even for the good of maybe even for the good of because it's a one off it's not a two legged affair it's do or die but obviously there is the semifinal to settle and Arsenal Villarreal that's mouth watering and Unai Emery is there former manager of Arsenal is now at Villarreal he knows Arsenal in and out he would definitely try to pull all the stops to try and stop them but Arsenal also have a fair share of events by trying to pull all the stops to stop him because they know his mind they know what kind of guy he is and to be honest I don't fancy Arsenal's chances against Villarreal because Arsenal is a moody team today they show up to go to cotton coal you can't afford to do that at this level so they are at go with Villarreal then there is Manchester United AS Roma the thing about Manchester United right now you know what to expect fire, they've got a terrific squad the manager is kind of Lukwam he's not quite there but he's got a fantastic squad of players they now know what it means to Dona United, Jazzy AS Roma, the thing about them you never know which AS Roma will turn up and AS Roma can really really turn up or fail to turn up but more towards really really turning up so that one the team that wins the first leg or gets that advantage of their way goal that first leg is very very key for the slight margins and Jamie Arsenal responded emphatically against the opponents of course they were against racism which is now an international minister you remember when they were kneeling down as a strategy to fight and combat this vice, the opponents didn't do that and they responded very well by you know smashing them I think they should probably take the fight against racism further I don't know how far it goes but I don't think kneeling down it does anything for anyone I like that because I mean they've been kneeling down is it a year or more and then the other day was it a rangers player who was racially abused and this is after all the kneeling down so they need to put stiff penalties in place like docking points docking points finding I mean I don't know why they are scared to find these guys like 5 million euro, 2 million euro you know these guys can afford it the clubs can afford it if you give people low fines and then if it's a fund they get a stadium ban that really doesn't do anything to curb this racism they need to put a firm stance and just stamp it out as for the team that refused to kneel down well they should have they paid for it and social media owners also need to put their foot on the pedal and say look we'll take you out of the streets if you keep on sending out those racist messages because if you look at this racism there's no football fans in the stadium stadiums right now but it's sound like you've seen how even theory decided to get to social media yeah it's been driven on social media and social media owners they have no power to turn you off they're not doing enough they really must put their foot on the gas I mean it's actually late in the day but from now on you send out those racist messages at your own peri yes we'll take you out of the streets and we'll hand you over to the authorities and hopefully the authorities will take it up from there another talking point this particular week has been after United beat Totenham last weekend on Sunday I think there has been some latest revelations from Paul Pogba on Jose Mourinho his former coach saying that his management style of coaching was you know not interesting and he's taken to several forums to castigate the project he's international for the bad relationship he has had with players and like the cordial friendship he enjoys with his current boss Ole Gunasolsa do you think Jimmy that ought to have waited a little bit so that he paints into his own book rather than you know yes he should have waited just kept this still after retirement and just stayed with it if we expect now Mourinho to clap back and Mourinho he would and Mourinho might even Mourinho's words just come out as they come and with Mourinho it's you get the titles so Mourinho can also argue this is just an uncooperative player who expected more when there was no more to be offered but I can't really say too much on that but I don't know I'm waiting for the response the response would be very interesting and death relief would be very harsh but how comes players complain of having bad blood with Jose Mourinho even we've seen what Danny Ross is going through he's not been getting regular playing time at Spurs over you know his bad relationship at some point going to Jose Mourinho's office to ask how comes he's not regularly getting played I think what is it? is Jose Mourinho just being over realistic and sometimes he gets quoted out of context I tend to think so Mourinho expects more than the players who were offered at times I guess and if you can't meet his overly high expectations Mourinho tends to not care who you are not care that Danny Ross has been at the club has done this has done that it's corporate or stay out and if I'm the one talking here and you tell me stay out I wouldn't be happy moral in the team goes down everything just messes up it's like a two sided coin there's those players who die for Mourinho they'll take a bullet for him they love him, they adore him they won't trophies for him not for their clubs they were playing for Mourinho they loved him and then now there's this new player who just doesn't see eye to eye with Mourinho I think it's a generational thing the earlier generation excuse me got on pretty well Mourinho, they were as tight as thieves really really close but now there has emerged a new generation that you need to talk to differently from the way you used to address the previous generations they won't take being shouted upon lightly they are big pumpers they are not hardened enough they are not from the previous era Mourinho could tell them all sorts of things you are not doing well enough for me you are sleeping on the job you are doing quite well these ones you have to address them differently I think the current group of players out to have found the air of Sir Alex Fagason you remember him even firing a player at the petrol station when he disagreed with Teddy sharing ham even David break up but that was then so the dynamics of football has changed the dynamics of football has changed I was watching a pep talk at full time this morning Manchester City having lost to Manchester United in Adabi and they had a team meeting immediately after the game in the changing rooms and pep took most of the meeting saying come down guys because people are opinionate people are talking you are telling them come down but they are saying no we are doing wrong those like different guys giving their views today's manager you have to be able to step back a bit and listen to this guys let them ventilate let them get out their steam and then you give the final word and even that final word you have to give it very diplomatically very persuasively because times have changed times renting has changed I mean look uncle nephew example when I was growing up uncle nephew relationship was very different but now here we are uncle nephew dealing like as though we are buddies like as though we are going out for a drink after this and of course this particular evening equally another huge clash piting Chelsea against Manchester City in the semifinal stage of a cup of course it will be live on KBC Channel 1 and you can catch the action the comfort of your seating room or bedroom considering the risk of you beyond to 8pm so you might not be allowed to go to the nearest entertainment joint and catch the action so let's talk about your team city up against Chelsea you say just before we kicked off the show that you seeking to go for a treble possible? very possible seeking to go far ya see we have to we have to get what Bayan did last season now Bayan has raised the benchmark the benchmark before was a treble now it's gone way higher and Perp has to prove he is the best every trophy is within reach I mean I can possibly say the premier league is wrapped up yes so now it's between the FA and the champions league karabot down at the end but the FA cup is where dreams are made every team in England everybody wants it the biggest upsets come in I did not expect so Thampton in the semifinal tomorrow but it happens so even today anything can happen I expect Phil Foden to show up it's been amazing man Phil Foden is the man up towards the England national team for euros he impresses me more because for every one goal that Phil Foden scores he's missed like 5 in the same game he'll miss like 5 chances try try try try try that work ethic and that is why Perp has taken a shine to him because Perp likes that work so it's man cities game it's man cities game yourself it's man cities game and they're like a pack of lions especially in the final third today today Ngolo Kuntiam told he's much fit so he's going to have the biggest what is the battle in midfield or in defence for Chelsea the battle actually is in taking the game to city that's what they've got to do and they've got to do it from the get go I hope they review the tape of the Manchester W just the other day when Manchester United played Manchester City and how Manchester United approached that game they went for the scruff of Manchester cities next they didn't give them room they didn't give them time to think breathe nothing that's what Chelsea have to do today and try and score that early goal that early goal disorient you it brings you back to reality and it's nothing as painful as that because it takes you time to readjust and the FA cup is the underdogs cup this game Chelsea are the underdogs no matter how well they are doing city are obviously the kings of England and they are strutting the fields like it but I would hench my bets on Chelsea if they work their socks off and go for the kill right from the get go but also in Golo County today is going to work overtime because when you look at what city have to offer in attack that will require someone who can wipe that area like a wipe up proper I stole his match fit I reckon his match fit if he starts the game he's the guy who's going to have the work load today I mean how do you keep off Foden, Mares Undoan is coming Staling I mean so you have to really really work they have to work very very hard for this win it's possible they can do it and I wish them all the best in this underdogs cup and now we're going to wind up but before we do Anthony Joshua would soon be fighting the big man Tyson Fury and I think the site has been approved Eddie Han the promoter has confirmed the fighter will be on what's your expectation like my expectation is for the gypsy king to rise gypsy king to rise gypsy king I mean he is still the linear world heavyweight champion of the world so Tyson Fury now the WBC world heavyweight champion of the world I mean currently still and beaten AJ got his defeat a while back I mean Tyson Fury will stop AJ no doubt anywhere anytime most likely because I think he is stronger faster he can take the punches and all round he is just a better is a more diverse fighter he moves like he is a welterweight I guess he is just too fast moving all over that ring is more aggressive and you were saying something about AJ AJ is more a gentleman and boxing is killer be killed that's the reality boxing is not soka boxing is not any other sort of sport that calls itself you need to leave that bad man out you need to leave that bad man out and coming mean real proper hard and that's not AJ but I hope he's worked on it because there was a time he got beat because of being too much of a gentleman that sort of switched a bulb in his head I think Fury to win but if AJ can be aggressive enough then a few hearts will be broken a few hearts will be broken always a pleasure doing this every saturday one, two, three touchline it's the show Maxwell Masika it's my name and of course nephew this guy is on the same set this particular afternoon discussing international football this one support band Munich it was eliminated from it's team and he says that this time round they would have me late on what band Munich did last season and if possible even surpassed because they are in the FAA this evening playing against Chelsea they have qualified to same if I know few of the champions league football up against they are equally money team in Paris in Jamaen and obviously we can authoritatively state that they have won English Premier League title let's wait and see how that turns out but let's continue with the conversation after touchline Y254 to CK Maxwell at Y254 channel always a pleasure coming through and it's been nice seeing you exchange interesting conversation as matters as far as matters football is concerned Jimmy pleasure having you this particular thank you for having me always a pleasure stay safe and continue complying in COVID-19 protocols as we seek getting rid of this monster COVID always a pleasure


So I read the New York Times. I actually really still like the paper New York Times. I also read salon often. Government technology is online, CNET, slash dot I hate to admit it. And then I always read concurring opinions. But you know I get the New York Times, that's sort of my print life. There's the New York Times at home. But then online I sort of check my favorite blogs, legal theory blog, organization. Online I probably, being a bit of a traditionalist I probably keep the BBC. I look at a range of newspapers as well. Online now. I don't read newspapers anymore, offline. Very rarely. I do look at American New York Times, but also in the UK The Guardian. I look at blogs, but I tend not to rely on them especially for news content. The election season I'm always looking at the polls and the political blogs. At this point I've gotten sick of it. Newspapers that I actually almost exclusively only read online. New York Times, Wall Street Journal. And, boy how boring. And Washington Post. I have to say I'm a bit addicted to Hopping to Post. And I use CNN just to see what mainstream media is talking about. And then I use TPM to find out what the real news is. Boing Boing doesn't really count as a news source does it? I read the New York Times in print and I look at the New York Times briefly online. So I look at the Washington Post, I look at the LA Times. I suppose I have two sources of news. One is the print paper and two is online.


Hello everyone, I am Charles, software engineer at Alibaba Cloud. Today we are going to present our work. Take the edge to the cloud with OpenYard and the EdgeX Foundry. This is a cooperation project between Alibaba Cloud and the VMware. This talk will be divided into four sections. First, I will introduce the four main challenges of applying Kubernetes to Edge computing environment, and how OpenYard addresses these four challenges. Then Ishing will provide necessary backgrounds of EdgeX Foundry, and how we combine OpenYard with EdgeX Foundry. And finally, we will wrap up the talk with a demo. So why we need to use OpenYard and why we cannot use Kubernetes in Edge computing environment directly. To answer this question, we have to understand that applying Kubernetes to the Edge computing environment requiring us to overcome four challenges. First, how can we prevent the pods from being evicted if edge nodes are temporarily disconnected from the API server? Second, how can API servers send a request to an edge node if they are located in two isolated networks? Third, how can we deploy workload by region as system settings or device models in different regions may vary? Four, how can we manage the Edge device with different protocols in a Kubernetes native way? We develop OpenYard to address these four challenges. The design principle of OpenYard is extend the native Kubernetes to the Edge. Therefore, we won't change the system architecture or any core components of the Kubernetes. In the other words, we will tackle all the four challenges only using the native Kubernetes workloads. In addition, we always keep the goal in mind that we have to support all upstream Kubernetes features. Here is the system architecture of OpenYard. As we can see, to have an OpenYard cluster up and running, we only need to deploy several controllers on cloud nodes, and on each edge node, we only need to deploy Yard Harp and the Yard Tunnel agent. In addition, we provide a command line tool, Yard CTL, to help us to manage an OpenYard cluster. By simply running the Yard CTL convert, all the above components will be automatically deployed. Next, I will introduce each of these components and how they help us to tackle the four challenges. The first problem we try to solve is how can we prevent pods from being evicted when a network connection between an edge node and an API server has been cut off. In the edge computing environment, the network connection between edge nodes and API server can be unstable. However, Kubernetes requires the API server to be tightly connected to worker nodes. If a worker node is disconnected from the API server, or the API server misses several harbids from the worker node due to pool network connection, the node will be marked as unready, and the pods running on the node will be erased from the ATCD. Later, when the worker node reconnects to the API server, the Kubernetes will notice that pods running on it are not in the ATCD, then it will physically evict the pods. This is something we don't want to happen. To avoid this from happening, we develop Yard Hub. Yard Hub functions as a reverse proxy and local cache, that is deployed on each edge node. After it is up and running, we will connect the Kubernetes to the Yard Hub instead of connecting to the API server on the cloud. During the runtime, the Yard Hub will keep checking the healthiness of the network connection between the edge node and the API server. If the network between the edge node and the API server is stable, Kubelet will talk to the API server directly, and synchronize the pods state as it does in the native Kubernetes. In the meanwhile, the Yard Hub will cache pods states in the local cache storage. If the network between the edge node and API server is cut off, the Kubelet will use pods states in the local storage instead. In addition, we have a garbage collector running in Yard Hub, which periodically removes useless pods state from the local cache. At the same time, we have the Yard Controller Manager running on the cloud to prohibit API server from expelling pods from unready edge nodes. The second problem we wanted to resolve is how can we redirect the requester from API server to edge nodes. It is very common that users may want to fetch logs of pods or execute commands in pods. This operation is normally conducted by using the Kubectl command line tool, which will send HTTP request to the API server first, and then API server will redirect the request to corresponding nodes. However, in a production environment, API server is usually located on the cloud, while edge nodes are located in users' private local networks. Therefore, API server cannot talk to edge node directly. We developed a Yard Tunnel to tackle this problem. Yard Tunnel using a client server architecture. On each cloud node, we deploy a Yard Tunnel server, while on each edge node, a Yard Tunnel agent will be deployed. Even though the incoming traffic may be blocked outside of the private local network, edge nodes can still send requests out of the local network. Therefore, after Yard Tunnel agent is set up, it will initiate a reverse connection and register itself on the Yard Tunnel server. To redirect the request to the Tunnel server, we inject the rules to the host IP table, which will redirect all outgoing HTTP requests with destination part 10,250 and 10,255 to the Tunnel server. Yard Tunnel use the API server network proxy internally. I will refer to API server network proxy as an AMP in the rest of this talk. AMP does not work with old version of Kubernetes. Let's does not support the egress selector. Therefore, we add an interceptor inside the Tunnel server, which will encapsulate HTTP requests in a format that is compatible with AMP. Also, since the AMP use GRPC protocol to transfer data between Tunnel server and Tunnel agent, we are able to further reduce the bandwidth between the cloud nodes and the edge nodes. After our HTTP request is encapsulated, the AMP server will pick the corresponding AMP agent and send a request to it. The third challenge that prevents using Kubernetes in an edge computing environment is that Kubernetes does not support deployed workloads by regions. Since an edge cluster can be located across multiple network or geographic regions, an assistant or device setting in different regions may vary, so users may want to deploy workloads by region. For example, the system architecture of edge nodes in Region 1 may be AMD64, while in Region 2 may be ARM64. If users want to run same workloads in both regions, then they have to create two workloads with exactly the same configurations but only difference in container image name. This can cause exponential increase in maintenance efforts with the increasing number of workloads. We developed the Yacht App Manager to its demanding burden on users. Specifically, the Yacht App Manager contains two controllers, the No Pool Controller and the United deployment controller. The No Pool Controller can group nodes into pools, can be nodes with same system architecture or nodes from the same network region, and then we can manage nodes in the same pool, uniformly. For example, we can add labels, annotations, or tints to all nodes in the same pool. After we group nodes into pools, United deployment controller can deploy the workloads based on the same template but different configurations across pools. In addition, we leverage the service topology feature to bound the east-west network traffic within a pool. The last challenge is how can we support various kinds of edge device made by different manufacturers using different communication protocols. Existing solution either need to change some key components of the Kubernetes significantly or require users to implement the device adapter or driver from scratch, which result in large development effort in the loss of some upstream features. Inspired by the UNIX philosophy, do one thing and do it well. We believe that Kubernetes should focus on managing computing nodes while the device management should be down by a mature edge computing platform. Therefore, we come up with the idea of integrating EdgeX Foundry into OpenYard. Next, Yixing will give us some necessary backgrounds of EdgeX Foundry and introduce how we combine EdgeX Foundry with OpenYard. Okay, thanks Charles for the introduction. Hello, everyone. I'm Yixing from VMware City Office and also the maintainer of the OpenYard project. So for those who are not familiar with EdgeX Foundry, I'd like to give a general introduction first. Then I will cover the OpenYard and EdgeX integration overview. At last, there will be a demo to illustrate how it works. So what is EdgeX Foundry? It is an open source when the Neutron Project and the Linux Foundation with Apache 2 license. It is also a microservice loosely coupled software framework for IoT Edge computing. And at the same time, it is hardware and OS agnostic. If we need to use one sentence to describe it, EdgeX is a mid-ware that connects things with your IT environment. So crudely speaking, the surface of EdgeX constitute a dual transformation engine. First is translating information coming from sensors and devices, various hundreds of protocols and thousands of formats into EdgeX. And second, it can deliver data to applications, enterprise and cloud system over TCP-IP-based protocol, information and structure of customer choice. Now let's take a look at the EdgeX architecture. From the south side to the north side, it has four layers. The device service layer, which is responsible to connect all kinds of sensor devices or actuators over hundreds of OT protocol. The core service layer, the supporting service layer and the application service layer. Let's take the data flow in EdgeX system, for example, to illustrate how it works. First, a sensor data is collected by the device service from a scene. And the data is passed to the core service for local persistence. Data is then passed to application service for transformation, formatting, filtering and can then be sent to North to enterprise and cloud system when needed. Data is then available for Edge analysis and can trigger device acutations through command service. Basically, there are two paths to control the Edge device. One is through the cloud. The other is some automation control on the Edge through some predefined logic through the user defined application service or rule engine or both. Since you can always combine them together, like you can train models on the cloud and create an application service on the Edge for inference. Now let's take a look at the EdgeX deployment scenario. In today's IoT landscape, it is imperative to leverage compute, storage and network resource wherever they live. So in the first scenario, you can deploy the device service on the Edge side and everything else in the cloud. This is for latency in sensitive applications. In the second scenario, if the gateway has enough compute and storage resource, you can deploy the full EdgeX foundry service on the gateway and gain good response time. In scenario three, if the gateway is not that good, you can just deploy the device service and the core service there and move the application and analytics to the server part. The fourth scenario is quite similar with the fourth one except it deployed EdgeX on the fourth server to gain better latency response. So we can see that the quantity and the function of a macro service deployed on a given node depends on the use cases and the capability of the hardware. Now let's take a look at the OpenUlt and EdgeX foundry integration. On the cloud side, we run your control manager, your app manager and the tunnel server manager. You can run it on any public private or hyper cloud or on primitive center which according to your requirements. And on the Edge side, besides the default you have and the tunnel agent, we will deploy a new device controller which is responsible for sync data between the EdgeX and the Kubernetes. The EdgeX cloud service will also be deployed on the Edge side. In some cases, the sensors direct connect gateway doesn't have enough resource. We can just deploy the EdgeX device service there. The Edge node can be either un-based or ex-18.6 based. Now I will use a demo to illustrate how it works. Let's take a look at the demo environment property. We have a master node running on the cloud and we'll have two work nodes running in the private network. The pipe 4 is in my home office and the e-box is running in another location. They together compose a unified Kubernetes cluster across cloud and Edge with different hardware architecture. We use kubectl to get a node to check the node status in the cluster. This is the pipe 4 node. We connect a temperature and a humidity sensor through GPIO pin 17. This is an RGB LED light connected to the pipe through GPIO pin 18, 19 and 20. This is the second work node which is x18.6 based. We next will deploy the EdgeX cloud service to the pipe 4 work node. We use kubectl to get a pod to check the deployment creating status. After a few minutes, we run the command again. We can see that the EdgeX services are up and running on the pipe 4 work node. The device controller will send the device information to Kubernetes. We can use kubectl to get a device to list all the devices in EdgeX. We can use kubectl to get device profile to list all the device profile information. Also, we can use kubectl to get device service to list the device service information. Like what we can do to the traditional Kubernetes object, we can change the device status by kubectl edit. First, we run command kubectl edit device name. We then set the device property light to color right as the desired value. We save and exit. You can see EdgeX will turn the LED light to right. Next, we run kubectl edit device name again. This time, we set the desired color to blue. We save and exit. We can see EdgeX turns the light to blue. Last, we run kubectl edit device name again and set the desired color to green. Then we save and exit. We can see EdgeX will turn the LED light to green.  Thanks for listening our session.


Okay, we're back here at EMC World for SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's exclusive coverage of EMC World. We'd like to extract the signal from the noise, wall-to-wall coverage, over 60 interviews over the three days. It's our day three, and we're going to try to keep the energy up. We'd love to get the entrepreneurs, the practitioners, the channel partners, the solution architects, the customers, but also we'd love to get the EMC executives, presidents, and all the top guys to hear what they have to say. And this is what we do at theCUBE and extract that signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined by co-host. I'm Dave Vellante at wikibon.org. Brian Gallagher is here. He's the president of EMC's Enterprise Storage Division, the high-end, the mission-critical customers, running the world's most sensitive and important information. Brian, you guys are under fire, the walls are caving in, the sky is falling, block-based flash storage is going to take over the world. How the hell'd you grow 10% last quarter? With all that bad news. That's a great question. Actually, great question. We've had a big strategy around growth in the Enterprise Storage Division. Obviously, we've been in a well-established market for years, well-established markets like the high-end and the Enterprise Storage, IDC and others, projected to be slower growth, low single digits, but clearly we've been outperforming the market. And if you look at the business overall, it's on an uptick. We've had net new customer acquisitions. And that was really about a strategy around expanding our TAM, total addressable market. How do we do that? How do we get new customers into the portfolio? How do we reach different parts of the globe with a value proposition that matters in the data center or the service providers? So, things that have helped. The entry of the 10K last year, so that increased the customer base. We expanded that with the 40K as well. It's been the top of the line in terms of data consolidation. Then you look at the other parts of the portfolio around Vplex, compelling technology, differentiated, game changer, door opener. And it's just been tremendous. It's really making people rethink their data center strategy. And then RecoverPoint having that ability to replicate between our platforms, it's also helped to grow the portfolio and acquire new customers. Right, I got to ask you, because obviously everyone talks about EMC, the big honkin' drive that's going down, scale out open source commodity gear, it's going to be cannibalizing into the business. The messaging here is more choice, more open. And so that's kind of what people are kind of trying to say and kind of build that narrative. So I want to ask you, the transformation message is about the customers. Right. And what you guys are doing with the customers.  But talk about how do you expand your TAM when you have this transformation? And obviously the growth of storage isn't going away. So is it one of those phenomena where the growth is so massive where there really might be some kind of oppositions flowing into other groups of EMC, but you're still growing? How does that, how do you do that? What is the strategy and why the growth? Right. And one trend that has been consistent is data growth. Right, that has not slowed down. It's just one of these, you know, Moore's law of information. And you look at the data growth rate 60% and we see that in all of our businesses. Things that are driving that data growth have traditionally been the enterprise data sources, but then more recently over the past four or five years, richer content that occurred five, six years ago. And then with telemetry data, Joe talked about that yesterday in his talk. That's really driving the growth of information. We see that across those businesses. And so when we look at kind of the disruption that's occurring, it's occurring in all the markets. Right to the traditional markets, it's occurring with new business models. And what we try to do in the enterprise storage division is make sure that we are ahead of these trends, make sure that we're disrupting ourself, you know, as we see these trends occur and make sure that we're helping to lead some of these changes. In fact, we started working on Flash in 2006. In the enterprise division, it was a project that we're doing with the Department of Defense. And we looked at the technology and said, you know what, this is relevant to all the data centers across the globe, not just for this project, but across the globe. How can we use it? How can it be discovered? So are you saying, is it the case where you have all these new variety of use cases? So the use cases, so it's not so much cannibalization, it's net new use cases. Is that what you're seeing? Yeah, we see obviously the components to growth are the underlying data growth that we see, as well as where we're expanding our TAM. The other addition to the family was cloud edition, right, VMAX cloud edition, relevant to the service providers, but also opening up some new doors, you know, in there. In terms of application growth, we do see net new applications in the enterprise. We've done a lot of studies around this in traditional enterprise. We expect applications to grow by 70% between now and 2016. And, you know, the bigger opportunity is in net new big data applications that will grow by, we estimate, along with others, about 700% between now and 2016. So we got product, so talk about TAM expansion. Product, you got function, deplex, recover point, you got geographies, and you mentioned cloud, and you see that, let me ask you a question about cloud. Is that net new in your opinion, or is that cannibalizing existing IT customers spend? I would say it this way. There is a TAM shift that's occurring from the data center to the service provider. It's occurring obviously in mid-tier environments, small to medium business today. We know that, we do see that, and there are projections around that TAM shift, but in terms of the service provider growth, that growth, if you just take out the TAM shift, that's expected to grow higher at a higher rate in high QOS environments than the traditional data center growth rate. So still single digit, but still significant in terms of the growth. So we will see, in enhanced growth, and we've been all about share. How do we get share? How do we innovate? How do we differentiate? How we can create that value proposition, and if you look at our share gains, they've been outstanding in the enterprise. Yeah, and if you can figure out how to sell to those cloud service providers efficiently and use them as a channel, you get a more operating leverage, presumably. I want to ask you about, help us unpack the whole software-defined storage piece of it, which is this horizontal play.  You got open stack, open source, all this function, trying to be developed by the community, and here you are with the industry's highest end, most functional storage stack. How do you play into the software-defined storage world, and then let's drill down into that a little bit? Yeah, there's two high-level threads, right? The highest-level thread about software-defined storage is abstract, pull, and automate, right? Abstract the intelligence from the underlying infrastructure. Aggregate and pull, so we're providing pulled services to the application, and then automate a lot of the challenges that you see in data centers. There are challenges around deployment, provisioning, data migration, tech refresh, data mobility backup, all that stuff that drives IT cost. It drives cost, it drives time, complexity, challenges. There's moving parts. When people are involved, things can break more frequently than they can break when you're doing it through automation. So the top-level strategy is abstract, pull, and automate. The next part of the strategy is leverage, right? Because the storage industry is going to spend billions of dollars per year in innovation at the data layer. And our strategy is not to commoditize or devalue that innovation, because there's still a lot of innovation that's occurring in data storage. In our own products across the board, primary, secondary technologies backup archive flash file object, all the components of it. So when we look at software-defined data center, our strategy is to abstract and leverage, simplify it, but take advantage of differentiation. When we look at Viper, think of it as software-defined storage that enables us to do that. It's got southbound interfaces to the storage, whether it's EMC storage or non-EMC storage, or commodity storage. And then it's got northbound APIs into frameworks that are either open frameworks like OpenStack, they could be vendor frameworks from Microsoft, vCloud director being able to plug in to orchestration layers that add that higher-level differentiation and value proposition as well as automation of the server and application space. Okay, so you've got this horizontal platform. It seems like you're pointing to a new direction. I remember, Brian, I'm sure you do too well. John's been talking about this all week, the notion of multi-vendor. That was the open back in the 80s and 90s, and EMC and storage actually created the multi-vendor product. Remember the charts you'd have a box and you'd have connecting to mainframe and Unix and Windows. All the various operators. You guys sort of popularized that. It was table stakes back then. Well, it's become table stakes, but back then it was quite new and innovative. Now, you've got this new sort of openness. You're talking about open APIs and connections to frameworks. And you've also got a very rich north-south to use the VMAX, sort of example, data management, storage management, and volume management stack. So, help us understand this. Is that redundant? Is there some redundant code within the horizontal piece that is volume management and the control plane and storage management? How do those interact? You've obviously got greater capabilities in your stack than in OpenStack or in the ViperStack. So, how do they inter-relate and play together? Help us understand that. Yeah, great question. So, clearly rich data services, copy services, local remote replication, automation services, volume management, all that stuff. Hardness, I mean really hard. Hardness, data center proven, tried and true. And so, we'll continue to innovate. In fact, over the next several years, you'll see even greater capabilities that enable better operations in data management and also data center management, if you will. Our strategy around that is when we look at environments, it's a matter of scale. In some environments, especially like when we introduced the 10K, we were going into IT shops that had four people. That did everything, network server, application, storage, everything. So, they go into four shops. So, in those environments, and we talked about this yesterday, is that the element management of the systems is good enough. In fact, they don't necessarily have the ability to really orchestrate and manage a lot with small IT shops. When we look at some of the larger enterprises, it's more about heterogeneity. There's a lot more complexity, there's a lot more scale. So, in those environments, this is where Viper is essential. And the openness of that and the diversity of that is critical, we're enabling an ecosystem around it for our partners to help us with this journey. But what you'll see from the product is more integration this way that allows for seamless IT operations and workflow. And you'll have Viper above that, that allows for the orchestration of the data framework, both from a control plane and then ultimately from a data plane. Being able to provide up object services, file and block services on top. How long in your estimation would it take an open source community to develop a reasonably comparable and competitive stack to what you have with VMAX? Yeah, so great question there. We've invested tens of thousands of man years into the stack. So, it's a daunting task. But with open communities, you do leverage the scale in the industry. So, now it's years. It's years, we're going to continue to invest heavily in all of our core platforms. So, it's a matter of the robustness. When we look at the future, you will see our technology virtualized. You see that today with virtual recovery point. People can load that on their own infrastructure. Rich talked today about a virtual VMAX. All of our products will be virtualized and run on infrastructure that the customer procures. That will be a model. However, EMC will continue to manufacture, sell high-rell, well-manufactured products out of the stack. And my last question is this vision that you guys are putting forth with Viper, this horizontal layer, essentially connecting through an API. Does it mean that going forward, I won't have to buy a new controller every time there's a new API that I could, in theory, connect through that horizontal layer and then get to your services, if there was North-South services, if I need them, if I don't, and it's good enough, that's cool. But that's a whole different model of storage delivery. And it does, you're absolutely right. That's a model that we're pursuing. And it does simplify it. It abstracts the complexity. At the end of the day, our customers have a lot of other challenges than the fundamental tasks of pulling and automating and managing storage. Yeah, so that's big. I mean, you guys gave, Dave Golden says, we got 30% market share, we're not happy. You know, we've got 70% to go.  Yeah. All right, Brian, really appreciate you coming on. One other thing, too. Check out Brian's keynote from yesterday. You really, it's a phenomenal keynote that you did. Great little surprise that you did with the V-Plex demo. Using humans, you know, as the example, teleportation, we've seen it all. Star Trek, like magic. It was magic. It takes a random night to check that out. Definitely check that out. Okay, Brian, thanks for coming inside the Cube. We really appreciate it. You've been a great guest. You've been on every... Almost every year. Almost every year, so thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. All right, thank you. This is the Cube. We talked to all the execs. We talked to all the customers. We extract the ceiling from noise. We're getting the data. We're talking to everyone we possibly can. We go where the action is. This is the Cube. SiliconANGLE will keep on right back after this short break.


What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I'm Goldpony I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today we are in the new 2021 Subaru Ascent courtesy of Faulkner Subaru and Mechanicsburg PA they just got six trucks yesterday anyways for more information on their inventory please feel free to check out the link in the description box below wanted to jump in this one because this is Subaru's one and only three row SUV of course are killing it right now in the US and it's got the very best all-wheel drive system in existence meaning Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive so having said that what do you guys say let's just go ahead and jump right into it and as always let's start with pricing it's as expected there are several different trim levels for the 2021 Ascent first one being the base starting at $32,295 which is a modest $300 increase over the 2020 model year premium starting at $34,795 limited which is the one we have today starting at $39,595 and lastly the touring starting at $45,445 and of course all of those trim levels coming standard with all-wheel drive that's one of the big selling points for Subaru at least because most other three-row SUVs for just about every other manufacturer out there come standard with front-wheel drive and then you have to add another $2,000 or so to get all-wheel drive so definitely one of the nice things about Subaru but having said that power plant on all of those trim levels will be the same powering the Ascent is going to be a 2.4 liter horizontally opposed turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine putting out 260 horsepower 5600 rpm 277 pound-feet of torque available from the power band of 2,04800 rpm power sent to all four wheels through a CVT with paddle shifters which you guys know we will be testing out in a little bit here zero to 60 time comes in at approximately 6.9 seconds with mpg numbers coming in at 21 city 27 on the highway for the base and premiums going to be a little different for the touring and the limited coming in at 20 in the city 26 on the highway either way taking regular unleaded fuel so it's always nice but before we do any kind of paddle shifter test or acceleration test you would have mentioned there is a drive mode labeled x mode for the Ascent and so the x mode buttons located just in front of the shifter essentially what that is going to do is adjust things like the throttle response the shift points it also increases the all-wheel drive system engagement and it uses enhanced control the vdc system to keep you planted at all times essentially but that's going to be the button that you're probably going to want to hit when you're going off-road or when you're perhaps driving in the snow but anyways now that we've covered all that what I'm going to do here for the paddle shifter test is I'm going to slide the shifter all the way to the back into the left that is going to give me full control over the shifting keep in mind this is a CVT so it is simulated shifting so to speak but having said that let's go ahead and find it straight away and let's do a quick little acceleration test with the paddle shifters and let's see how quickly they are going to react for us here all right you guys I believe we found her straight away and three two one they're actually pretty quick I'll admit they're actually pretty quick again it's a CVT so it's not technically real shifting but they're kind of fun I like that they're there and also another thing you could do with those paddle shifters is you can use them for engine braking I just downshifted there it slows the car down so for example when you're driving in the snow perhaps you don't want to use the brakes themselves for slowing down you can always just downshift kicking that engine braking and you're less likely to slide off the road when you do that of course so that of course is going to be there for you as well so therefore I do like that the paddle shifters are there but now having done that let's do a quick little acceleration test here in the ascent and let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed all right in five four three two one that'll do CVTs are funny dang definitely no issues emerging on to the highway that actually surprised me I don't know with three or scvs you don't usually expect all that much because they are quite large but really certainly no issues of merging onto the highway that was quite nice I didn't mind that but to go along with that acceleration as always braking is equally important so up front you will find 13.1 inch ventilated front discs in the back 13 inch ventilated rear discs as far as that 60 to zero stopping distance goes it's actually quite impressive it comes in at 118 feet and so for comparison's sake the Honda Pilot comes in at 120 it's got that beat Toyota Highlander 116 so right around there on the Hyundai Palisade 129 feet so in the end what I'm trying to get at is 118 feet is dang impressive especially for a three row SUV so absolutely no issues with a braking feel or anything like that so I figured I mentioned that but touching on suspension and handling up front you will get a McPherson strut front suspension with the stabilizer bar in the back double wishbone type rear suspension once again with the stabilizer bar as far as the ride quality goes it's been perfectly fine for me today certainly no issues with that the ascent has been soaking up Pennsylvania's road imperfections quite nicely so far as far as the steering feel goes it actually is quite nice I've driven a lot of three row SUVs and typically with three row SUVs you get this loosey goosey steering feel not that this one's heavy by any means but it's actually just right it's what I would probably expect four or three row SUVs so I do like that as well as far as cabin noise goes you guys could probably tell you get a little bit of engine noise but other than that there isn't a whole lot of exterior noises coming into the cabin so that is a big plus as well in my book at least I'm touching on visibility again another strong suit here with the ascent so typically the way it works is the boxier the SUV the better visibility that you have and since that roof line in the back is not tapered down as much you can see perfectly fine out that rear window and in addition to that those third row headrests can be pushed down into the seat if that third row is not in use so you don't have those bulky headrests blocking any visibility as well which is what I did and that's what you guys are looking at right now so for that reason certainly no issues with visibility really one of the better ones if you were comparing three row SUVs I will say that but that about rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this brand new 2021 Subaru Ascent all right here she is you guys the new 2021 Subaru Ascent finished in black let's go ahead and start up front on this one I first always like to touch on the ground clearance when it comes to Subaru because they always do a really good job at that up front you will find 8.7 inches of ground clearance up there to the side's LED steering response of headlights which is actually newly standard for 2021 which means when you're going around a bend at night those headlights will swivel based on the steering angle better help illuminating what is around that bend and again that comes standard for all trim levels across the board of course they will come with the automatic feature as well meaning when it starts to get dark at night they will turn on automatically for you there and just below it all LED fog lights coming standard with the limited and touring trim levels if you wanted to get those but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of this one so but now since we are around the side here raised roof rails do come standard across the board rear privacy glass standard along with that taking a look at the side mirrors they are power adjustable black side mirrors for the base premium trim level and up is going to give you body colored side mirrors limited and up is going to give you integrated turd signals in them as well you will actually get a satin chrome finish if you were to go with the touring trim level then they take a look at the door handles it is going to differ slightly actually get chrome door handles if you go with a touring otherwise you're going to get body colored across the board then take a look at the wheels 18 by 7 inch alloys with the base and premium 20 by 7.5 inch alloys with the limited and touring therefore that of course is what you were looking at right now and you do get chrome windows surrounds as well as you guys can see which ties in well with that chrome accenting on the side skirts there too but now let's go ahead and make our way to the back of the ascent and so shark fin antenna coming standard of course just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light just below that rear window wiper and of course you do have some trim level badging found on the right hand side of that rear tailgate as well also some badging for the symmetrical all wheel drive system as expected there but just below it all dual exhaust outlets coming standard with chrome tips so do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip and so but now since we are around back of the ascent when it comes to opening that rear lift gate believe it or not it is a power lift gate for every single trim level usually you don't find that that's why I emphasize that a lot of times it'll be a manual lift gate on the lower trims power on the upper trims but that was pretty cool to find that there are a few different ways to go about opening it there is a button on the lift gate itself of course there's also a button on the key fob and there is a button by the driver's left knee as well once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 17.8 cubic feet behind that third row if that was not enough space of course the third row does fold down bumping that up to 47.5 cubic feet and with all rows folded 86.5 cubic feet which is right on par for the course essentially it's basically would all three row SUVs come with give or take a few cubic feet there there is also some in-floor storage for all trim levels as well there is some LED cargo lighting that was also very nice and you do have some grocery hooks and tie down anchors back there as well and make your way up to the rear legroom third row rear legroom I should say comes in at 31.7 inches so not the most in the world but it is a third row legroom for reference I am any of it six feet tall this is how much space I had back there did want to also mention for those third row passengers there is third row USB charging ports for the limited and touring trim levels only so if you want your third row passengers to stay connected go with one of those two trim levels there as far as rear ventilation goes I'll mention that now there is rear ventilation found on the roof of the ascent so therefore that is going to keep all three rows perfectly comfortable the maker way to the second row legroom that comes in at 38.6 inches again for reference I mean even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there you will also find heated second row seats for the limited and touring trim levels that's always impressive bench seating is going to come with the base and premium meaning three seats in the middle there captain's chairs is going to come with the touring trim level and the limited can actually come with either bench seating or captain's chairs it's going to be up to you we do have the bench seating in our limited trim level today but again you can get it with captain's chairs if you wanted that second row USB charging ports actually come standard across the board love that 120 volt power outlet coming with the touring trim level only you will actually find 19 cup holders throughout if you were to go ahead and count them so that is a good bit of drink holders throughout this one as well so definitely impressive there too and again LED lighting coming standard for the second and third row up tops that's always nice but now making our way to the front seats six-way manually adjustable driver's seat with the base trim level eight-way power driver's seat with a premium you will get power adjustable driver and passenger seats if you were to go with the limited or touring premium is also going to add heated front seats you will get ventilated front seats with the touring cloth seating is going to be base and premium leather seating is going to be limited in touring and I will say overall seating is very comfortable and that is of course important with 3-row SUVs a lot of times the road trip vehicle so seating is perfectly comfortable for me so certainly no issues there let's take a look up front there is a tilt and telescoping steering wheel it is leather wrapped for the premium trim level and up and it will be heated with the limited and touring trim levels if you wanted that then take a look at the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here all of your buttons will be located on one side of the key you do a block unlock and the button to pop the rear hatch and the unlock button is going to be the Subaru logo in case anybody was curious about that but essentially it is all keyless entry with the push button start if you go with a limited or touring like we have today so therefore I'm simply just going to keep the key in my pocket walk up to the ascent here and put my foot on the brake there is an engine start button located just by the driver's right knee there and so but then once started up tachometer is to your left speedometer is on your right and there is a small digital display front and center which can be controlled by using the steering wheel mounted controls found on the left side of the steering wheel there but I got to say what probably caught my eye the most was the tarheel blue needles on the gauges that was pretty cool I like that color I don't know but anyways digital gauges you can actually change it to a digital speedometer you can change it to display how many miles you'll lift until you hit empty there's your trip a trip b really a good bit you can scroll through tire pressure list continues but basically everything you would possibly need up on those gauges there touching on interior quality it actually kind of surprised me and so power panoramic moonroof coming with the touring it is going to be optional on the premium and limited of course we do have that option today so love that extra lighting for videos like this wood green access is going to come with the touring trim level you will find homeland controls for the limited and touring that is going to be optional on the premium and that can be found just underneath the rear view mirror for up to three different garage doors also within that rear view mirror there is a compass in the upper right hand corner as well that was pretty cool tri-zone climate control is going to come standard on every single trim level meaning both driver passenger and rear passengers can all set their own individual temperatures that's always nice and I love the contrast between the dark and light leather in this particular ascent that we have today so definitely a big fan of that I also like how just above the passenger side glovebox there is a little bit of storage a very little bit but still I like that it's there and the finish is also above the passenger side glovebox with the stitching within the leather it definitely looks very high-end so I'm a big fan of that as well really the only plastics that I found was a little bit around the doors here surrounding the door handles on the inside here and just around the shifter as well but other than that everything's pretty high quality and I gotta say I do like it you also have an overhead sunglass holder with a rear conversation mirror as well so that's going to be kind of the school bus like mirror so you could spy on the passengers in the back that's always nice and there's a lot of light blue ambient lighting to kind of tie in with those gauge needles as well so I do like that especially around the cupholders here in the front I noticed that just in front of the shifter you do have a little bit of storage there if you wanted it there's also a couple USB charging ports there's an auxiliary port of course you have your dual cupholders also in a lecture mechanical parking brake and just behind that you have a very deep storage area within that center armrest so we'll see that little removable tray with little slots for coins as well also last thing I'm going to mention for those second row passengers is you will find rear window sunshades that are available in the ascent as well which is always nice when you have kids in there so you don't have the sun blinding them when it's super bright and sunny out not like it is today of course but one of the things that really impressed me the most believe it or not this is going to be weird Subaru still make one of the few vehicles with CD players in their cars so that is going to lead me into the tech just beneath the tech screen there is a cd player and by the way when it comes to that screen itself 6.5 inch color touchscreen display coming with the base 8 inch color touchscreen display coming with the premium trim level and up either way you get bluetooth and audio streaming android auto apple carplay as well factory navigation system is going to come on the touring it's going to be optional on the premium and limited you don't really need it though as long as you have a smartphone you're going to hook that up to the ascent and therefore you're going to have free navigation on that screen anyway so you don't really need it in the end and then of course just above that tech display there is another smaller tech screen where you could check out driving statistics outside temperature time of the day how many miles you have left until you hit empty the list goes on but you got a good bit to check out up there as well but also back on the main screen you could check out your radio settings and by the way when it comes to the sound system which we're going to test out here six speakers with the base premium and limited then if you go with the touring you will get a 14 speaker Harman Kardon sound system with 792 watts which is going to be ridiculous so let's go ahead and turn on the radio and let's test out this sound system that we have here today it's okay not a whole lot of bass actually going on and that was a song with a lot of bass in it I know but bass is okay but ultimately not a bad sound system but so then last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display is when you do put the ascent in reverse you will find a rear view camera across the board for all trim levels and there is a 180 degree front view monitor if you were to go with the touring trim level as well so as always that is going to lead us into safety and so to start the Subaru ascent is an IIHS top safety pick plus which is the very highest designation given by IIHS of course front side side current airbags do come standard in the back you're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats also back there rear child door locks there is a tire pressure monitoring system as well but also standard for all trim levels across the board you will find high beam assist also Subaru eye sight which is going to give you a plethora of different safety features including advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering and lane keep assist pre-collision throttle management and lane departure and sway warning as well and then there is also a second and third row seat belt reminder now standard for 2021 another new little update for the 2021 ascent there blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert is going to come with the premium trim level enough then if you wanted to go that route but ultimately when it comes to my final thoughts of the new Subaru ascent again this is the very best all-wheel drive system in existence right now so it's got that going for it best safety rating as well you could possibly get from IIHS love that it has rear windows sunshades that's always a plus love the blue ambient lighting although wouldn't have minded if you had some color choices there that would have been pretty cool to have led steering responsive headlights are absolutely great and I love that they come standard most other manufacturers won't make them standard so overall in the end an extremely solid pick here with the Subaru ascent so especially if you live in a colder climate like I do here in Pennsylvania but let me know what you guys think of the ascent in the comment section below that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for

Hey, this is Brett and this 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is stock number 22J63B. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin near new and used Dodge Challenger and sports car headquarters. This 2013 Dodge Challenger has the 6.4 liter V8 Hemi engine, puts out 470 horsepower. This car has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off and this one is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside, start it up and take a look under the hood.  So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, and options, and of course the cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. Take note as you go down this side just how nice that body is, how clean the paint is, and if you like the video you can subscribe to my YouTube channel which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Do these videos each and every day, click the bell notifications and you'll get updated every time that I do. This one comes with the 20 inch black chrome alloy rims. And those scuffs or scrapes on that front rim, it does have the Brembo brakes. And this one has Goodyear Eagle RSA tires, these are 245, 45ZR20s, and I would say they have probably about half the tread left on them, just from what I can feel right there. It's hard to see on the front tire, we'll get a better look at the back ones. Front fenders in excellent condition, no dents or dings on there, headlight lenses are nice and clear, and the front bumper and lower valance are in very nice condition. I didn't see any major scuffs or scrapes or cracks on the front bumper. The hood is in excellent shape, comes with those silver stripes, I didn't see any major dents or dings on the hood, and the passenger side front fender looks really good as well. Plum crazy purple, it's got a little bit of metal flake to it, really a cool looking color. Another side rim is in pretty nice condition, does have one little nick on the rim there but nothing too bad, but it is a used car and that's why we take these videos and as you go down this side of the car, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is, and I take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the car, you can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at, before you even get here so when you do get here there are absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at, and if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you, and if you like the video you can subscribe to the YouTube channel in the upper right hand part of screen, back rim absolutely perfect, no scuffs or scrapes on there, and the back tires you can see just how much tread are left on those, just as much as the front, maybe even a little bit more.

The stockbroker is a regulated professional individual, usually associated with a brokerage firm or broker dealer, who buys and sells stocks and other securities for both retail and institutional clients through a stock exchange or over the counter in return for a fee or commission. Stockbrokers aren't known by numerous professional designations, depending on the license they hold, the type of securities they sell, or the services they provide. In the United States, the stockbroker must pass both the Series 7 and either the Series 63 or the Series 66 exams in order to be properly licensed. The first stockbroking began in Rome, where the first recorded buying and selling of shares occurred in the 2nd century BCE. After Rome fell, stockbroking did not become a realistic career until after the Renaissance, when government bonds traded in Italian city-states such as Genoa or Vernaz. New stock exchanges opened their doors in the 16th and 17th centuries, including the London Stock Exchange, which was opened at a coffee shop in 1698. In the 1800s, in the United States, the New York Stock Exchange opened its doors under a button would treat in New York City. 24 stockbrokers signed the button would agreement, agreeing to trade five securities under that button would treat.


Good morning, John. There's a little section of sidewalk that I walk down pretty frequently, and I think that what happens is there's a convenience store nearby, people pick up like a bag of chips or a drink, and then when they're walking home, sometimes they drop the thing on the ground after they're done with it. I do not like this. It makes me upset. It makes me feel like I'm, like, surrounded by people who do not respect the space that we share. And that is irrational. It takes one person walking back and forth to the store every day and dropping a piece of trash on the ground for there to be 30 pieces of trash after a month. That's a lot of trash. It changes the way that it looks. But it also might be one person of the hundreds of people who go to that convenience store every day. So, like, almost no one litters, but the street is covered with trash. And here's the way of thinking about this that really changed my mind. It only takes one person every day picking up two pieces of trash for there to be no trash after two weeks. One of the best tools I have ever been taught for how to understand our world is that we often, like, our minds imagine the world as, like, set quantities, but actually set quantities are made up of inputs and outputs. A street with no litter is not a street that never gets littered on. It's a street where the rate of people dropping trash is lower than the rate of people picking up trash. It's a flow in and out. Litter goes down, litter goes up. And the person who dropped the trash is only half of the reason that the trash is there. The other half of the reason is that I didn't pick it up. I'm not, like, equally morally responsible for the trash on the ground, but I don't really care about morality here. I care about the trash that's on the ground. Removing responsibility and ethics from the conversation, the trash wouldn't be there if somebody had picked it up, right? And so I do pick it up. I pick it up, like, every time. And Catherine is like, oh my God, where are you going now? Just across the street to get that half-empty malt liquor bottle! I'm not doing this because I think that leaving litter on the ground is, like, equally morally problematic to dropping the litter in the first place. But I think that we can all sort of vaguely agree that, like, dropping some trash on the ground is an amount, some amount of disrespectful to the space. And if that's the case, then picking it back up and not having it be there anymore is like an equal and opposite amount of respectful. Now, litter on the street in my neighborhood is not something that I'm actually that concerned about. Like, now one of the world's biggest problems. And pretty much every problem that isn't a bag of Doritos in your neighbor's hedge is more difficult to solve than, like, bending over and bending back up. But I find this a useful model when thinking about problems, generally, because it tells me three things. First, one person can drop a lot of trash. Just because there's a lot of trash doesn't mean that all people are dropping trash. Second, bad things are not static. They are a result of inflows and outflows. And we cannot stop all bad things from happening. But we can focus on decreasing the rate of problem formation and on increasing the rate of problem solving. And finally, it is almost always easier to get mad about something than to do something about it, even if the doing of the something is very small. And that is an instinct in me that I need to fight against. John, I'll see you on Tuesday. You can listen to it as a podcast wherever you get podcasts, but also now, as of this week, we're starting to upload it onto YouTube. Since I had extra time, I figured I'd let you know about a thing that I'm excited about. John, again, I will see you on Tuesday.
