Welcome to Starting and Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise. I'm Suri, a member of GitLab's content team, and I'm thrilled you're joining us today. If you have any questions, please use the Q&A function at the bottom of your screen. If you have any technical difficulties, please use the chat function. On this next slide, you can see that we have Gary Gruver, the renowned DevOps consultant and author of Starting and Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise, and John Jeremiah, a senior product marketing manager at GitLab. They'll discuss how to apply DevOps and agile principles at scale. We have several interesting topics to cover today, and I'm excited to hear from John, who will first explain how to align a DevOps transformation to business objectives. Welcome, John. Thank you, Suri. And I'm so excited to be here with you and Gary. I've had the opportunity to work with Gary in the past to join him in his webinars and workshops, and so I'm very excited to hear his talk. I wanna start, you know, really to talk a little bit about how we align and how we think about DevOps from a transformation and how it drives and should align to our business objectives. So if you think about it, Mark Adrysson said this a few years ago, that software is eating the world, and it really gets to the point that we have to move faster than ever. We can go ahead and move to the next slide there, Gary. And as we try to move faster and faster because software is ever more critical to what our business objectives are. A lot of organizations talk about a digital transformation and they talk about, and we see this everywhere, we've seen the disruption where digital has changed industries left and right. Look at retail, for example. How often do you not even consider going into a physical store but simply go online and order typically from Amazon? How often do we rethink, have we started to rethink transportation all because of a mobile app on our phone? Digital is disrupting transportation, it's disrupting retail, it's disrupting financial services. Every industry is facing a disruption and some of them know what that disruption is today, others don't. We have to be able to move faster and ship software faster because more and more the relationship and the experience we have as consumers and we have with our customers and our partners is defined in the digital realm. And so in order to be competitive, the faster we deliver, the more competitive we can be. But how do you align? Let's go to the next slide, Gary. How do you align? Do you need to be able to ship software every five minutes? Is that how fast you have to go? In order to answer that question, you really have to take a step back and talk to your business partners and look at your industry and your market. If you're in an industry and a market where the pace of change and the pace of innovation is at a pace which is six months of change and the cycle is slow, then perhaps you don't have to be moving at the same speed as Google or Amazon or Facebook. But if you're competing in an industry where the speed is faster and it's accelerating or if your industry is one where you're facing this disruption, then you have to learn how to move faster without sacrificing quality. It's not about just fast, it's about speed with both security and with quality. And the only way you can determine the right speed, the right velocity is by working intimately and closely with your business to understand the demands in your specific industry and your specific market. It's, this is not an IT problem. This is not a problem that is solved simply by figuring out how do we go faster to ship faster? It has to be done at the pace the business needs. If you ship an application faster than the business can consume and you're pushing changes to the business at a speed that they can't consume, then you can be more disruptive than helpful. So the key to understanding how fast is fast enough is understanding your business and your users and the needs that they have. This is really about aligning with your stakeholders and shipping as fast as they can, as they can consume it and as fast as they need it. Now, as a part of the GitLab team, I wanna just stop for one second before Gary does his content because I want Gary to get into talking about how do you define and scale a DevOps transformation. But for those of you who aren't familiar with GitLab, I wanna share with you a little bit about GitLab and who we are and what GitLab is all about. GitLab is an innovative solution. We are a single application that's been designed from the beginning in order to address all of the challenges within the DevOps lifecycle. Whether it's how you create and manage your source code because our foundation is based on Git and distributed version control, we can go from there to look at how do we do continuous integration and build, automate the delivery across the entire lifecycle. And the power and the advantages that we were able to help companies and help teams by being on a single platform are listed here, but it really is an opportunity to bring teams together so they can collaborate and have visibility with each other. And it's in the act of collaboration that you can really start to achieve efficiencies and velocity. And so we'll have more on GitLab and I don't wanna spend a lot of time on GitLab. I wanna just anchor you on understanding what GitLab is, because we're so much more than just Git. We really are the end-to-end lifecycle. And now I wanna turn you over. I've started this off with a little bit about alignment and a little bit about GitLab, but I think the real exciting conversation and the interesting conversation is about to follow because what Gary is gonna share is really the insight that he's had from his years of experience, leading DevOps transformations in large organizations. And I always love to hear his stories. So Gary, the floor is yours, sir. Thanks, John. If you could improve the productivity of your software development processes by two to three X, would it matter? What if you decided all this was too hard? All this was too risky, didn't make sense in your business, but your competitors went all in. Can you see how that'd make a difference to your company, to your coworkers, and eventually to yourself? I start every presentation I give in this space with those questions, because one, I think it truly represents the opportunity with embracing these new ways of working and also highlights the risk associated with ignoring these trends in the industry. And as I've spent a lot of my time over the last decade going around the world and being fortunate enough to tell the story about the transformation that a great group of people at HP led, where we easily got a two to three X improvement productivity where we dropped our R&D costs almost in half, went to where the software was no longer a bottleneck and we're supporting 140% more products and increased our innovation by eight X. It really was a two to three X improvement as conservative. And I think that's the opportunity that this represents. And as I've been fortunate enough to go have these conversations around the world with people, what I'm starting to realize is that more and more people are realizing what we did, which is a lot of these benefits are more associated with how do you work across teams, which is a lot of the DevOps stuff that's being coordinated. And we did these things because they had the biggest impact on our productivity, not necessarily because we wanted to do DevOps because DevOps wasn't a term that, but it's exciting as I go out in the organizations that I'm getting to see more and more people really excited about doing DevOps. The challenge I see is when I go into these organizations it's like five blind men describing an elephant. I'll go talk to a developer and I said, are you excited about doing DevOps? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm way excited. This is gonna be great. Really, so you're gonna make sure when you write your code it's all covered with an automated test. You're gonna make sure that job one is making sure when you bring your code in it doesn't break any existing functionality and all those automatic tests are still passing. You're gonna make sure that any change you make to the infrastructure is done in code that's in a SCM tool like Git that enables you to tell exactly who changed what when and that all your deployment mechanisms are automated so you have consistency in this process. So I said, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, that sounds like a lot of work. I couldn't possibly do that. No, I wanna do DevOps because I heard at Netflix where they're doing DevOps, the first day on the job you get to push code into production and you and I have no idea how hard it is to push code into production in my organization. First I have to go to the change resistance board and get it reproofle and then I've gotta go through the whole process of making sure I get on a launch call and I gotta get my code over to a branch for a release branch and then I gotta go through and debug and triage that. No, no, it's such a headache that this is, I just wanna be able to push my code into production and between you and me I'm not sure this is gonna work till we get better operations people because right now I knew I patched the code and I knew I needed this patch in my operating system before this could go and the production people didn't really get that and so when operations wasn't there it was halfway through the launch call before we figured it out and they never even did open the firewall that they needed to interface with this third party and they should have known this. No, this DevOps stuff isn't gonna work until we either get better operations people or I don't know, operations people that can read my mind and then I go talk to the release team and they're way excited about doing DevOps too. I was like, really, you're gonna make sure that you do multiple releases a week, maybe multiple releases a day so you have very small batch sizes of changes so it's easy to triage and figure out the exact impact on the business. It's like, whoa, no way, that sounds too hard, right? I only have my change resistance board on Tuesdays and if I had to have that every day I couldn't possibly do it. No, no, I wanna do DevOps because I wanna make sure that everything's in version control. Right now, I'm the babysitter of the organization. I have developers off changing things, off patching their systems, off doing these different things and they don't tell anybody what's needed and how it's gonna be done. What I wanna make sure is that all of that is infrastructure as code. It's in an SCM system. I can tell exactly who changed what, that's consistent. I can make sure that that goes from a dev environment to a QA environment to a pre-prod environment to a production environment in exactly the same way and that's used. I'm gonna have automated tests to where when I have a showstop or defect come in I don't have to guess at which tests I can run and how many I can afford to run because it's really easy to kick off all my automated tests and know exactly where we are in our release. No, no, I can't wait to have DevOps because I'm tired of being the babysitter of the organization, trying to go around and figure out who changed what and where and why and I'm gonna have it all under version control. It's gonna be easy to replicate and we're gonna do these deployments so many times in a QA environment using the exact same processes and tools that when we go into production it's gonna be boring. And then I go talk to operations people and they're way excited about doing DevOps too. It's like really, you're excited about doing DevOps? Yeah, yeah. So you're gonna make sure that you never go in and manually touch a server again. You're gonna make sure that all the definitions of that infrastructure is done in code. It's in the SCM tool. You're gonna make sure all your deployments are automated and repeatable. And you're gonna make sure that anytime you make a change or a patch of those production environments, you're gonna start all the way back at Dev and put it at the front end of the deployment pipeline and make sure that it goes through all the different stages of the deployment pipeline in the production and you've got that working together and you're really collaborating with your QA people and your Dev people to make sure that all this is under version control. To which the answer is typically no, no, no, wait, wait. You don't understand. You have any idea how busy I am? This business would not run if I wasn't spending my time full time deep in the details of figuring out exactly how to make each server run. I've set up each of these servers by hand manually myself. I know how each one works. I've even started to name them and treat them a little more like pets because they're there. And if I wasn't doing that, keeping this place running, if I was going to script that or if I was spending time with the development people, this place would fall apart. No, no, I wanna do DevOps because when you do DevOps, the developers have feature flags and when some millennial developers stuff some code in on a Friday afternoon that breaks everything and I get a call at two o'clock in the morning, I wanna just be able to go in and turn the feature toggle off, go back to bed and let them deal with it on Monday morning when they get in and clean up the mess that they made. So everybody's excited to do DevOps but they've got a little different definition of what DevOps is.  It just doesn't look like a DevOps elephant. It doesn't act like a DevOps elephant. In fact, it's more of a face plant than delivering the business results that you're helping for. I spend a little bit of time on this one because I think I can throw a little bit of humor in it but two is those really start to identify the cultural changes that you need people to embrace in the different ways of working and we can do a lot with technology, we can do a lot with these different pieces but if you can't get people on board to embrace new ways and different ways of working, I think you're gonna struggle with your implementation and a lot of people have different views of it and a lot of what I do when I go into organizations is try to get everybody on the same page, try to get a common view of the elephant so they can start going down this path of improving and the first place I like to start is everybody's got a different definition of DevOps and a lot of it is based on practices they've heard at different conferences or different places. So I like to back up to Gene Kim's definition because he spent a lot of time really cultivating this DevOps community and forming conferences and spending time around that and for him and I think this resonates for me too is it's all about the outcomes it's not the practices, it's what you're trying to achieve and it's the ability to release code on a more frequent basis while enabling all aspects of quality and that's pretty straightforward and easy and the good news is you'd be doing that today if it was easy and straightforward. What I find when I go into organizations is there's lots of reasons why you're not doing this and it has to do with waste and inefficiencies in your system and from my perspective having grown up as a manufacturing process engineer you can't quite apply the same processes to improving your software developments because it's different you're doing something different each time and when I really go in and look at it there's three different types of work that I see going on in organizations the first work is just the new code you're writing, the new feature, the new application where you're really going in and trying to write something new and optimizing that and because you're changing both the product and the process at the same time you can't really do designed experiments to figure that out and improving that productivity is really based on providing higher quality and more frequent feedback to the developers every developer wanted to do a good job thought they did a good job until you give them that feedback they don't know that they haven't done a good job and so the key to taking waste and inefficiencies out of that process is reducing the time that developers end up on working on stuff that won't work with other people's code that won't work in a production environment and won't need to be need to the business so we're really trying to reduce that cycle time and take it out the next thing that large organizations do is they spend a lot of time debugging and triaging the source of problems and if we're going in and we're looking for a problem that has been written by somebody that's been committing code over the last month or so it takes a long time to debug and triage that and look for cues and I find a lot of organizations spend almost as much or more time debugging, triaging the environment, the code and getting it to release quality than they do actually writing in the features and the capability so DevOps we go to try to improve that by going to smaller batch sizes more frequent feedback, smaller change sets so we understand those changes and the last thing that happens in software development is the repetitive tasks these are give me an environment do a build, do a deployment all those different types of things and we go to improve that through automation and we automate for a few reasons one is if it's automated it's more affordable to run more frequently in smaller batch sizes which makes the triage easier the other one that really comes in there that helps a lot is when you automate it you get it done consistently the same time every time, whether it's a different server it doesn't matter, you don't have to name them you don't have to treat them as paths you can start to treat them more like cattle because they're treated the same and those sorts of things so you go after those things and the challenge or the framework that I use to think about how do you do this? How do you take that waste and inefficiency out and one of the reasons I'm a big champion at DevOps is what I find when I go into organizations is when you start to increase this frequency it forces you to fix waste and inefficiencies that have been in your organization for years when you're doing it at a low frequency you're not very often your organization can muscle its way through it and use brute force to get the releases out the door when you start to go into smaller batch sizes and more frequently you have to fix those things once and for all and I start with the framework that David Farley and Jez Hummel came up with which is a deployment pipeline which is nothing more than thinking about how do you start with a business idea hand it to a developer get an environment for testing move the code over for testing decide that it's approved to go into production roll it into production and monitor that's making sure it's working pretty straightforward and easy process I don't know why we continue to have these webinars to do something that's so simple but in large organizations something as simple as it starts to become more difficult and you look at the types of things that people do in an organization and we'll start with a deployment pipeline for one developer in a small organization and then we'll talk about how do you scale it to a team and then we'll talk about how do you scale it to a larger organization there are a lot of inefficiencies in this process that happen in most organizations for the business ideas typically most organizations start with way too much inventory in the system in terms of requirements sitting in front of the developers and if lean manufacturing has taught us anything it's that whenever you have excess inventory in the system it's at risk of waste in terms of rework and expediting so if you find out that when you start talking to the developer about the business ideas and you have all these requirements written up they have different ideas and you have interactions and you have to end up reworking that or if the market condition changes you have to rework that or if your competitor comes up with something new and you need to prioritize a whole new set of requirements and you de-prioritize the ones that you've invested a lot in then you end up throwing out waste because you're not using a lot of the effort that you put into it next you need to move the code to the developer to write the code and then the next step is you need an environment for testing I know one large financial organization on the East Coast that started their journey to DevOps by just putting in a ticket and seeing how long it would take to get Hello World up and going in a production environment and they turned the experiment off after I think it was 250 days and the reason they turned it off is not because they had Hello World up and going but they thought they mapped their process and understood where the bottlenecks were and next they tried to figure out how long it would take them to get Hello World up and going in Amazon Web Services and that was three hours so they understood the opportunity they understood the bottlenecks and for them this DevOps journey and how do they release on a more frequent basis was a lot about going after cloud capabilities and those types of things to enable them to do that in their internal environment so that people weren't waiting for the environment piece after you've got that environment and it's consistent working well then you move the code over into the test environment and make sure that you test it what I find is most organizations this is probably one of the most frequent bottlenecks that occurs next is that people are relying on manual testing or they'll have some automated testing or when we really go in and we start to work with them to try to gate code with their automated testing what you'll find is their automated testing isn't maintainable, triageable and stable and as you go through that process and a lot of organizations I find the forcing function is when you start trying to use automated testing the gate code is when you really start finding where are some of your inefficiencies and bottlenecks are in the system after that you need to move these things over into production, make a decision some people talk about the approval and let people directly push it in what I find is that that is a regulatory burden or hurdle and a lot of times this deployment type pipeline is taking three or four months and the approval takes half a day I'm not sure I would take on that challenge of just saying anybody can push into production until that starts to become the bottleneck next you move it into production and this should be a straightforward process because you're using the same exact definition of the environment, you're using the same deployment mechanisms, it's all automated you've been doing that a lot in your environment testing program and as you move it into production what you find is that nothing new should show up but what frequently happens in organizations is between the dev teams and the ops teams they haven't really agreed on the common set of tools they haven't agreed on the common set of processes they haven't put things as infrastructure as code they haven't automated all these things and so each deployment into production is a new and unique event and you're struggling to debug and triage it a lot of what we're trying to do here with dev ops is get that a lot more consistent and then the last thing when you go into monitoring you need to make sure that everything's working well I've had a lot of experience where you do all the testing you go into production and something very unique shows up in monitoring and one large release I was doing for a website where I was at and everything worked perfectly backdoor testing everything we put live traffic on it we found an error that didn't show up and it only showed up for this one function that has gotten added to the release and it only showed up in IE8 localized to Spanish the reality is you're not gonna be able to test for all those things for in dev ops they've moved to things called canary releases or feature toggles which enables you to put a small amount of traffic on there to find those things that you wouldn't find otherwise and it's not really a license to say that you shouldn't test and validate things before you go into production but it's a realization that you're never gonna find absolutely everything and you need a way to release code into production without putting a lot of different things at risk so we've talked about a lot of different things here and we put them into place you can't really go do all of these things at once so I tend to go into organizations and talk to them about metrics around each of these pieces to understand where their biggest bottlenecks are and where their biggest issues we talk about metrics around the planning capacity we talk about metrics around the environments about the testing about the release and about the monitoring and we look across those with everybody on the team and we try to get a good feel for where the biggest bottlenecks are and what improvements will have the biggest impact on business and this is all the inefficiencies and priorities that you can have for a team of one developer but I imagine most of you out there have larger teams than one and you need a more efficient process for those as we start to scale the team what we're really trying to do is take a business idea scale it across a bunch of developers and integrate it into together and make sure that it all works together this is a lot of what the scrum process was designed to do is closer collaboration across the developers and closer collaboration with the business and the developers to make sure that we're getting that feedback on an ongoing basis this really though does need a big cultural changes one developers need to be integrating their code together on a more frequent basis than a CI environment they need to be prioritizing keeping that build green on an ongoing basis and to do that they need to learn to develop in different ways they need to not modify services but version services they need to go to evolutionary databases they need to prioritize keeping the code base running over just shoving the functionality in and they need to figure out how do they bring that code in without changing it and this is one of the biggest cultural changes that you're gonna see in the organization as you go through this process next this is scaling to a small team of developers and in organizations depending on the size of it some of these teams can independently develop qualifying deploy code in other organizations the architecture so tightly coupled that it takes larger groups of team working together first thing I do is try to really segment your applications into those different types of group if it's a non-business critical application that you're not updating not changing very frequently I wouldn't bother to do the investment for the change management to get here and I'd segment those out and not even work on the changes there next you can look at loosely coupled and tightly coupled loosely coupled are these small teams that can work independently and this is a lot of what you hear about in DevOps where you empower the teams you remove the barriers you get out of the way you give the developers a pager let them fill the empathy let them keep things running and then you have large type of coupled systems and for the loosely coupled systems it's a lot about just that CI process being able to move into production and letting these teams work independently you may decide that there's some common guardrails for your organizations you may decide that you wanna use some common tool sets like GitLab so you can look across them but in a lot of cases you are gonna wanna empower those teams to do what they seem to think best and be able to move quickly where I get involved with organizations frequently though is these organizations that have large tightly coupled architectures and ideally you'd wanna just do the same thing where you're doing a very frequent builds continuous integration process but what you find with these large tightly coupled systems is that you've got so many developers in each build it's too hard to debug it because you've got a lot of developers working on it and the time it takes to do a build deploy and test cycle larger and you end up with too many change sets in each iteration to make the debug and triage effort more efficiently. Ideally you'd go to a smaller icon build acceptance test that just really a kind of a smoke test type of thing to make sure that it always passes that stability but even that is not enough frequently and in those cases what you try to do is look for clean areas in your architecture where you can break this down into sub components and work through that and use service virtualization to break those apart and what you're really trying to do is break this down into subsystems of different pieces that you keep stable and then when you have each subsystem what you're really trying to do is create a deployment pipeline for that. So for each component each team in there each CI process they go through a gate before it goes into phase two and phase three of this pipeline or stage two and stage three and you do that for each component as you go through and there's a couple of key things that you're trying to do here when you use that stop light at each component you're doing two things you're increasing the frequency and quality of that feedback you're also making it much easier to debug and triage because it is associated with that one small team and additionally you're keeping these large complex enterprise environments more stable by gating defects from making their way into that process you do this for each subsystem and then each subsystem you take this and you build that up into your enterprise system that you can release in the production each stage and this is what I really think about and work on and as I go into organizations really trying to get clear about the deployment pipeline and what we're trying to do here after we've got the architecture understood the deployment pipelines figured out we really start to take and put on top of the metrics that we looked earlier what are the things associated with this complex pipeline? One of the first things I look at for Waste and Organizations is branches ideally you want all the developers putting their code together to make sure it works with each other and provide that frequent feedback what I see in a lot of organizations is that they have let those integrated environments become so unstable because they're not gating code that it's forced them to create a bunch of different branches so people have stable places to work in this case I tend to spend a lot of time with organizations you know they have the branches for a reason but every time you have a branch it represents duplicate work somebody's got to check code into it somebody's got to do testing on it somebody's got to work through it you got a Debo, you got a triage, you got to clean it up and what I tell people is branches are evil branches are evil, branches are evil every time you see them you should think of that as waste and duplication in your organization and they're there for a reason but we need to work on the reasons that are there and work to eliminate them over time so you can gain those efficiencies the next thing I look at is just what is the time that it takes for code to go from a development environment all the way out into production and in this example you know stage four for your integrated thing is going in four hours for bat tests that's pretty good your regression test is taking two weeks that may be a good opportunity to automate deploying into production is taking 18 hours you're not going to deploy on a very frequent basis if it's taking you 18 hours to deploy into production and subsystem two is taking three days and if you look at that it's a day to deploy in two days to test that may be an opportunity to look at automating it and this is assuming that you're deploying test times with the bottlenecks what we see in a lot of organizations is they don't even move into these integrated phases until they reach a milestone in their development process something some people call it functionality complete so you wouldn't even go into an integrated stage for environment until you reach functionality complete and that can be weeks or months after people started writing the code so the other thing that we look at is once we understand the time that it takes for code to flow through the deployment pipeline we look at where we're finding the defects are we finding 50, 60% of the defects in stage five and the regression testing and that's happening six weeks after somebody was writing code if you go to somebody six weeks after they're writing code and beat them up for a defect they entered in the system they're not even gonna remember what they're doing and it's gonna take you a long time to triage and figure out who the individual was in the first place if you can make that much more frequent and give that feedback and try to find it as close to the developer as you can ideally if you catch it in subsystem one it makes it much easier to triage and the feedback's quicker and you work through that process so one of the biggest things I see in organizations is just the delay in that feedback and these are the metrics and these are the maps that we use to find that out so that we know which process improvements to go after first and finally, a lot of times we'll wanna start gating code assuming that DevOps is all about keeping built green and working on that and the developers need to do that but one of the things I find frequently is we'll go down this journey and we'll start to pick a stage and start to increase the frequency to build test cycle and what we'll go into and realize is that not very many of the things that are occurring are problems with the code if you look in stage four a very small percentage here is code the majority of it is tests I go into very few organizations that really start gating their code with test automation that don't have to go through and rework the test framework and the design patterns for their test automation and this is one of the first things we find out and this one, there's also a lot of environment issues and deployment issues if you ask the developers to try to keep this build green you're asking them to fix things that are outside of their control so we really need to make sure that we get a solid test framework and environment and both different types of things and this points us to you can't do infrastructure as code, test automation all these things at once as we get down this journey and we start to get these metrics and know what's going on we use that to prioritize the things that are causing the most waste and inefficiency in the organization because if you've got almost half your defects or environment and test you need to fix that because those are the types of things that your organization are having to brute force their way through an ongoing basis next, you can't even do each subsystem all at the same time so we tend to look at the subsystem that's causing most of the defects and going through that and as you're going through and trying to set up one of the big complex enterprise environments it's important to understand that those are differently hopefully I frame that out as you have loosely coupled system that's more about empowerment as you have tightly coupled systems it's more important to have leadership to coordinate the work across the system map these out, understand the inefficiencies you have a lot of generalists with the small teams and you want to put operational capabilities on that you're more likely to have specialization as you get into a large tightly coupled system somebody's going to need to set these up and work through it and there's other pieces that are there that are different but I think you will find if you get these maps you identify the inefficiencies what you're really going to do is get a good understanding of a common view of the elephant and people know what you're going to be going after there and if you go down the process and you use these approach I think you're going to be able to deliver these types of improvements to your business I think these are real these represent what's going on in the industry and it is what you can expect it's going to be a journey you're going to have to free up capacity to sharpen the saw and make these process improvements but the breakthroughs that I personally experienced and I've watched my clients experience are just dramatic and are certainly worth the effort So I'm going to pause there we're going to do another one of these next month where John and I are really going to go in and have discussions around what is a typical transformation look like what are the types of things I'm seeing what are the types of things and then get more questions but we have some time here today so I think let's open it up to questions if I'm right John Thank you so much Hi, sorry Hi, thank you so much so we'd like to take some time now to answer any questions you have so please submit your questions using the Q&A box at the bottom of your screen and our first question is from Ben who asks what does a DevOps workflow look like in a small company with only a handful of devs and IT staff where everyone wears many hats I think that's the more loosely coupled thing that I said especially if you haven't created a big internal data warehouse I see organizations move to Amazon web services or Azure or Google or one of those cloud environments fairly quickly and I can see them getting it up and working so it's more of that continuous integration monitoring and feedback and it's empowering the team and I find organizations get there fairly quickly and those will always be the most efficient they'll deploy more they'll deploy more frequently I tend to like the large, tightly coupled, complex ones just because not that the level move faster but just because the level of inefficiencies that you have trying to coordinate hundreds of people is just so much more pronounced than the inefficiencies you have coordinating a few people Thank you so much Gary, can I elaborate on that? What about where you've got a situation where you've got a lot of people wearing multiple hats so you're doing everything from operation you're wearing the hat of operations and security and other things and I think that's a part of this how do you see that as where someone has to do multiple things and how DevOps can help them? You know, I think that's key I think that's where DevOps started really if you look at the Netflix or the Amazons of the world what they're really saying is if you can do this in a small team then you're gonna have people having that broader view and you're gonna need people that become what's referred to as full stack developers they know all the different pieces inside and out the thing that I would do is leverage a lot of those cloud capabilities if you can because that's gonna keep you from reinventing those capabilities Has that worked on? Yeah, I think that helps That's a good question Go ahead, sorry Back to you, sir Thank you both so much So our next question is how would you recommend testing the integration between a new internal app to a large legacy ERP? Typically, I see suggested to abstract the connection to the legacy app and mock the API layer that this still leaves the abstraction relatively untested I tend to do... I think that's correct You know, if you looked at it we tested each subsystem with service virtualization but I would still put the complete thing together once a day and test it in I would try to find as many of the things as I could in the subsystem first but I don't think that that allows you to not do the end-to-end testing because of what you're saying You're gonna find you thought you had the service virtualization right you thought you got it correct but when you put it together you had different interpretations and you don't want to wait till the end to find those things and you know, you can do ERP type of stuff I'm not sure if people I think it was like 2016 Rosalind Radcliffe that does San Francisco gave an excellent of how to do DevOps on a mainframe and it's possible and you should be doing it There's nothing bad about mainframes we just shouldn't be doing development along the same way we did it 30 years ago and she kind of really pulls that apart but you know, you still need to be putting the system together and testing it in Did I get that one, John? I think so I think it was a good answer I mean, you do have to have that end-to-end test you can't just rely on service virtualization for everything I mean, yes, service virtualization gets you going faster and while you answer the next question I'm gonna look up Rosalind's talk it was a really good talk and I agree with you Okay I'll put the link in the chat Okay All right, Gary, our next question What's an ideal duration for BAT and regression? You know, at HP, we started with our regression with manual and took about six weeks when we finished the transformation regression would take 24 hours and it was, you know, farmed it was probably 20,000 hours of testing farmed across a bunch of VMs that we ran every night and made sure we got there We got our BAT testing a build and a BAT testing and this was, you know, 10 million lines of code and 400 plus developers around the world got to the point where it was about three hours for that process to sort of go and get through and, you know, if Jess was here he'd be screaming up and down and yelling and saying it needs to be less than a minute or two minutes and I think that really comes from thinking about how these small teams do it and do it and keep it stable and what I found in large organizations it's almost more important to keep that build stable and get stuff from coming in than it was for speed so we found that balance and that's gonna be unique for your different organizations you know, if you're releasing daily then Jess is probably right or less than daily, Jess is probably right you need it minutes but if you're releasing once a week once a month type of thing and you're trying to keep it more stable and you have, you know, hundreds of developers that you got to triage through it's probably more important to lean a little more towards stability and better coverage than it is towards speed Thank you so much, Gary Thank you all so much for joining us We hope you enjoyed hearing from Gary Groover and that you will join us for our next webcast in which John and Gary engage in a DevOps dialogue If you'd like to learn more please visit about.gitlab.com slash DevOps Thank you again for joining us, bye


Hey, I'll dust the shaper here. So we're gonna talk about sweeteners. We're gonna talk about sugar-free Just concepts because what's happening right now is that the keto wave is starting, right? Low carb is becoming finally this concept that we should have been talking about for many many many years But we're now just getting there and so we're gonna talk about some of the sweeteners So we have some keto friendly sweeteners and then we have things that are if you didn't know you would think they're keto And they're not necessarily or they could potentially have a reverse effect on you. So Here's the skinny animal. So just got to watch a few things I'm gonna give you a couple lists on either in this video or above and below here You're gonna get a list of few things that right now we know to be pretty safe From a ketogenic perspective or a low carb if you're gonna go low carb lean on these now Why I say is we generally know is that? Companies right now can they can they can make things seem or look a certain way So we got to be really careful When you're going low carb, but in general, these are the safe ones you throw it's a sugar alcohol Which is really really really really really safe Monk fruit tends to be really safe monk for the challenges is that the flavoring can shift a little bit stevia tends to be very very keto friendly Those are the three main Allulose allulose is another one that it's relatively new and that one is very ketogenic now Sometimes you're gonna see people blend them together and you want to blend those four Those are gonna be the four that you want to kind of lean on the majority of the time Those should be the more keto friendly sweeteners now it doesn't mean things like splendor can't still be low carb The challenge with splendor is you gotta be careful is that they actually lace it with dextrose Which actually still can spike blood sugar and even insulin a little bit So some people especially if you're a metabolic challenge may not get a good response with those so things like splendor even though It's low carb it can still be sometimes a hindrance and of course it has some artificialness to it Where the other four that I listed are all natural so you through all sugar alcohol Stevia monk fruit allulose. It's there's an all natural process to that. So it's they're they're real It's not it's not been processed or synthesized in a lab things like equal sweeten low also can be considered low carb But you're now you're consuming something that I would say is below are optimal if there's something you had from time to time I wouldn't I wouldn't be disappointed if it was like sparingly you had it randomly at random times I wouldn't worry about it But if you're gonna be low carb and consistently using something you want to lean on those other four But I have one that just jumped up like it has stevia in it, but it's stevia with dextrose So when you're reading the label look to see what they're using If they're binding it with something they're buying with something that can sometimes for some people if they're metabolic A challenge it can throw them out of tails and you don't even know right so you're consuming it thinking it's one thing But it's something else so read those labels you want to make it make sure it's pure or it's a blend of Stevia and you through all now a zolotol is another sugar alcohol that can be relatively safe It does spike a little bit, but it's still relatively safe That's another one that it's not so bad, but it's still you know not as good as the other four so of course the obvious ones the sugars and the brown sugars and honeys and the Natural sweeteners out there a Gave nectar those things are all gonna spark spark blood sugar a lot higher and some a lot higher So just a little tip watch out for those sweeteners.  So you're looking for pure stevia pure sugar alcohol you through all you through all not malatose you through all Zolotols a little okay I wouldn't use a lot of it allulose and monk fruit are gonna be the four you want to lean on the most make sure it's pure Make sure they don't add a lot of binders or anything to it And but they can blend those four together which I like because it actually can help with some of the Aftertaste and things like that so a blend of those together can be really really good So hope that helps watch your sweeteners y'all


Federal officials on Saturday ordered the immediate grounding of Boeing 737 MAX-9 jetliners until they are inspected after an Alaska Airlines plane suffered a blowout that left a gaping hole in the side of the fuselage. The required inspections take around four to eight hours per aircraft and affect about 171 airplanes worldwide.as of Saturday morning. Inspections on more than a quarter of the fleet were complete with no concerning findings. The company said.a and Alaska Airlines jetliner blew out a window and a portion of its fuselage shortly after takeoff three miles above Oregon late Friday, creating a gaping hole that forced the pilots to make an emergency landing as its 174 passengers and six crew members donned oxygen masks. As strong as those planes are, you could blow a hole like that because the hole was about as wide as a refrigerator and about two thirds as high when I finally got to see it later.  At first I thought it was the emergency door but there was no door there.  Everything went swell. Like I said, the cabin crew did an excellent job. Pilot did a great job. I can't say anything bad about them at all.


Thank you for staying with us now. It's time to look at what the national dailies are saying this morning And just check out stories on the headlines Joining us to review the papers is Chris Cain de Wander is a member of the Chattered Institute of Appetrators in the UK And he's joining us here. Well, I thought he would be joining us from Ivory Coast because Nigeria is playing But yes, he's joining us here from Lagos today. Good morning, sir. Thank you for joining us Thank you very much. Don't worry. What's the school? Tell us. You have missed two food. Tell us you missed two food and came back and a gelopras, which is the best in the world Tell us you missed that You have a point I'm going to be going into all of that But I'm sure you've heard the news about the import duties and the jump, jumpflation As Yamgoo likes to call it. But anyway, let's start with the punch this morning Nigeria's sick relief as states get 3.3 trillion Naira allocations It's the riders here are protesters lament rising inflation Governor's rally FG to avert food crisis Another one is states local government received 3.3 trillion Naira from July to December quality of life degenerating Residents says is this the case of everybody? Are you part of this? Are you part of the residents that are saying the quality of life is you know degenerating or I mean life is good on your side? The grass is greener, but I want to just know your thoughts on all of this and how you feel in particular See see question you don't want me You don't want me No, the grass might be greener on your side I think there's there's some people who you know, they're they're good. They don't they don't feel all of these things that we're feeling And I don't think that's what I'm my politician Namu's good to collect People yesterday families have been Because they bring free engulfments and you're having a lot of money or Letting out the money. You still have a little bit of hope everywhere your relatives are not rich Even those in town. That's it long distance. It is that I say fine So, yeah, they touch everybody. He touched everybody directly on that the situation of things is getting worse by the day and We're not even we don't even know where we're heading to the average cost of living in Nigeria. It's Especiating people cannot meet people.  So it is it's not bad. So it is a long chain is the I don't even know how to put it but it parties that This are worse than a bag of rice cost about 70,000 I ran out. Yeah, I got fries. I'm sure you know about that Yeah, and so money and so many other commodities the basic Necessities of like which is food water Shelter And health go and see how much drugs cost now I've read parasita mother used to be you know, that's such a day used to set a hundred Naira If they are in those days, it's as much as 500 close to one thousand. So and that is it So everybody is feeding the pain feeling the pinch and them That doesn't seem to be a solution all we're bringing to Assurances assurances if you get better if you get worse than After getting worse and if you get better when will it be better? And that's the question. I've always asked when will it be better? No dollar dollar dollar It is more of an elitist thing Not how many Nigerians use the army. I just have dollars Some people don't even have as much as two thousand Naira in their pocket on the daily basis It's a family of five some children are out of school because their parents cannot even get give them Transportation to go to school. I'm not talking about paying school fees. So the different pocket one is to go to school I've transferred to go to school and that one is also to feed those children before they go to school So many parents are finding it difficult to send their children to school now. That is how bad it is Well, even then As we're talking about how biting this is Senate is set to raise customs five trillion Naira revenue target Maybe to something else. Maybe it will be 15 trillion Naira So anything that is coming through customs will have to be costlier and the ripple effect would be on the people Well, you know, it is not is easier said than done most often than not always find a way of trying to make things our people are situated and Yes, the national assembly presents the custom Tariff and also expectation in terms of revenues Yes, this is your beauty, but the fact remains that that also is going to add more problem to Nigerians Go and check out and average the cost of a vehicle Now I was thinking of changing my car recently and when I when I saw the prices I was saying about 15 million and I'm like I cannot do this. I can't I have to manage Yes, it's that bad because if you want to take an average The prices of skyrocketed So it is it is that terrible. So When you talk about the custom resin tariff and out that is not ahead not there for me because For me, the basic thing is that what Nigerians You know, Nigerians are the most patient people. The word Yes, I used to quit Nigerians generally like asna fans if I football fan Asna fans Come on committed Come on, mr. Chris. Come on, mr. Chris. Come on You're Yes, but you are the one of the most you have the most committed or like my one thing of My Really Now that all the doings is Because we'll be done because we'll be done and abuse religion as a weapon to be put to Now make sure that we don't even ask for our rights And that is how bad it has gotten to Nigerians don't even know where to turn to we don't even know who to ask We cannot even ask our our leaders questions. We cannot ask our related Politicians question. We cannot ask our government questions and we continue to rule on this particular coaster Take out since the result this government came in in me the quality of life between me Now I see how bad things have gotten Everybody's crying each the rich also crying the rich are also crying not only the poor The rich are also crying because the rich cannot even sleep because the poor are away. That is how bad the situation is Well, okay, so let me take one one more from here from the puncher And I would link it with the guardian So it says narrow weekends as at parallel markets rises as official windows So we're talking about the the the narrow to the dollar right now and then as you know most of Our building materials are imported. So now on the guardian. The major headline is building materials Label spike construction costs by 200 Percent what what's your take on all of this then there's another smaller headline here That also says poor citizens protest high cost of leaving Hardship in Mina ocean state. Well, I'm sure I was taking the lead in this protests And against the high cost of leaving. But what do you think about all of this? The the building materials that are skyrocketing the fact that import duty, you know, has been increased There was a jump in in less than 24 hours two different prices For the import duty right now. They are raising the the the revenue for them from five trillion naira So what is your fund? Yes, what's what's your take on all of this and which way? Well, how do we even move from here? Is there any lights at the end of the tunnel? Are we going to You know have some form of relief Anytime soon or this is just our new normal that we have to chuck in and just know that yes, we'll keep being resilient You know in my intro, I talked about the problem now that is the existing between landlords and tenants. Yes That's part of what I you know, I said it And yes, because I focus this is a part of the problem now because people cannot feed It's only when you feed that you don't think of having a shitter over your head People are finding it difficult to pay their rents as tenants In as much as I won't say I think the party means that the land or the also be the house For you to also collect rents to feed his own family. So It's neither here nor there If you cannot be able to pay the rent then they have to move on but you ask when they move on where they go Should they go back to their villages? We did we have the solution to the problem Is mountain and mountain a problem as it is Now we are looking at a issue. What are the materials for feeding off? for duty in how Beauty houses Why you need cement? Why you need blocks you need cement then you need iron That's iron rods and the likes you need planks Most of these things are locally sourced Planks are locally sourced Cements we have cement companies Manufacturing we have the poor you have the dangute debate and the rest of them But what is the cost of cement? I said last time I had I had a cement is almost about 6,000 Back now Know how many it is going to take maybe then iron rods We Put some Then we suppose we have if we have done and that is that is the failure of government If you know what it actually is known for the It happened it happened a Distant attack was it I've got it in them now. We have this This iron Iron rod or iron or This thing that I would use in Agia Yes, that is Agia. That's the name Agia Kuta still This was a recent impact by the former president Ushaka Basantio. He was even in military go and military president of the military Heard it in Niger in the 70s late 70s Where the Russians were contracted to build that Agia Kuta still If we have been able to follow that through We would have had sufficient enough Um Iron rods iron this things in Nigeria that we don't need to import in fact would have been exporting That is what used to be Oshubu rolling mill That used to be a lack of rolling mills Some of the younger generations will you bet? I'm sure my brother knows what's going on Yeah, I'm sure he knows Yes, these are all rolling mills that were built in those days in the 70s by the government To not even say we are military government But we will never be able to sustain this And everything went wrong and that is everything collapsed So now that what we do now we do more of importation of some of these materials And you are talking about the dollar the Naira to the dollar Where the dollar Naira to the dollar is our and I'm predicting that you're looking for social if here is not taking By the next one month the dollar is the Naira is going to be about two thousand Naira to a dollar The rate at which we are going Yes to that point because as of today it's over one thousand five hundred and it's still rising At a point in last week where we say oh There has been some kind of Maginal drop and then I was laughing as a maginal drop of two Naira or whatever Wait until next week and it is rising again I actually said what are the fundamentals? What are the problems? What are the economic measures we put in place like government to be able to make sure that this does not And that is why I said time and time again. Most often that won't let us leave the messenger and follow the message I think who abu baka has been ready to The former presidential candidate of me have been ready some fundamental issues. Who's nobody's answering? He said they are using him. Oh his opposition is because of which they said he has a fundamental question The NMPC Said that it's going to go to go road or collected three billion dollars From a foreign bank in order to cause you the effect of the sliding naira And he asked that money would have was taking what has been effect. What has been be used to Nobody's saying anything about that. NMPC is not talking the federal government is not talking three billion dollars And I mean so other What we're not doing in water is a pot and so you know My sister remember doing no bioma Yeah Yes In the super wake up today All the dollars Dispose of them They wake up again. Oh, what are you going to do now? Uh, that was breaking the dollars You know, no economic direction. No No Which has come out to say that Also to say I have said this So you can see the kind of Panicking measure that is being there doesn't seem to a direction and I asked what is the essence of on us Look at the security. I'm sure we're able to get to that one again The security is at the highest point that we've had probably that previous People are being killed. People are being kidnapped. It never has not come to houses to pick people It's not like before it's not that they would wait for you on the road. This time around they come to houses to pick up people Two of us were killed in a kid Should have not risked not promised Not risked you just kidnapped And the parents paid ransom and it has become the norm and every day you're shouting Oh foreign investment. We are going to see for how can you have a how can you have foreign investment When they at both way when they at both way And also the country is not safe for such who will come and invest in the country that is not safe Is a big problem. I guess well They govern of the central bank of nigeria. Uh, that's kadosu says forex reforms Is attracting fdi's and that is on the nation newspaper That's what he's claiming that the forex reforms are attracting fdi's. So maybe they have information that you don't have No, I have information they don't have I want to sit on the street. I want to sit on the dollar I want to see on the dollar today. I just came off code. We are asking him about why I came off from afghan And I say Dollar is not smiling and as it should by sister Dollar, no, they smile The dollar the the cff safe up to dollar is about 600 To uh to a dollar Nigeria is about 150 to a dollar. This is a west african country 1500 1500 not 150. Yes, what was a 500 to a dollar But we go to a buy here. It's just about 600 of their 600 of their currency to a dollar. So it's what they must So that is the whatever the Governor says is not that heavy for me It's just like somebody has told us that nigerians have this I think was it was it that no the one of the spokesman to the president Yes, it is a Nigerians have the lowest What's the quality? I can't even know what to say In terms of when it comes to the Nigerians have the cheapest foods The cheapest that Yeah, right. Yes. Yes. Yes.  Maybe somebody that is beef. That man doesn't buy fuel He doesn't buy fuel Yes, now If the sky is before I'm talking of um, what's his name? This uh Payor or none of that he is beef where the speckle is beef where the house is living in abuja Is being paid for from a nigerian classes not his own personal course. So he can wake up to say also something So what about it? Rob not set up but say it is not that here not dead until replace replace all the dollar to the naira I would not believe him. He can continue saying whatever I want to say All right, let's take this one from the daily independent It says nigeria needs to borrow 21 trillion naira in 2024 to avert bankruptcy now There's a report that an average nigerian owes about 384 864 384 864 Naira, that's what we owe currently. So an average nigeria owes this from all of our debt And now they're saying we need to borrow an additional 21 trillion naira in 2024 to avert bankruptcy So that means obviously our debt is going to you know, even rise, but what's your take on this one? My sister, now you owe me and not owe anybody Bro, do you want to owe anybody? I'm not owing either Let me clear that one I'm not owing anybody I'm not owing anybody. Let them go. I'm not owing. I know my own debt. I know those that I'm owing And the nigerian debt is not part of my account But they must help you The syrup came out yesterday or two days ago to say that That we need to prove that over about three was it about 3.4 billion Dollars as a part of the money that we borrowed as loan from the IMF and other foreign United States that it was looted 3.4 billion dollars Yes, about 3.4 billion dollars and so I'm saying that that should be proved that the president To know which we will to prove that and that is how we roll most often They're not we just continue borrowing and borrowing and without having anything to show for it And I said it another for a yes With the newspaper everyone one of the national station that What we need to do now if our these foreign donors they should put a stop to all loans to Nigeria All loans that should put a stop to that and let Nigeria give an account of what they have done with all they have borrowed Probably the last eight years That will help us because I just we don't even know How they will tell you oh, what the money is this thing the construction of Uh What is it? If a Nigerian a second bridge and and is there Which other one they tell you the rare. Okay, the rare Which are many red the one from kaduna to The one from kaduna to abuja And um legos to a burden which other one So those are the issues Corruption has been so endemic in the system that no matter how you to stop it There are people within the system that was circumvented Imagine a former agf of this country That stole and this one is not alleged now stole 109 billion The case is still in court They are trying to have a flip again and is ready to return about 49 to 50 billion So after that one that means we're lying to go even about nine billion or what? Look at the the the the the We're corrupt minister of ministerial affairs that was supposed to be handling issues relating to money I have to have to be able to eradicate over the 90 See how much was stolen that somebody says she mistakenly transfer 40 billion From that account to account And we are seeing Somebody who is a minister and suspended though. Do you have you have a lot that that issue has has come that nobody's talking about it?  You know he about it again And that is it. We have gone to bed now. Nobody's talking about that issue And that is how you do nobody talk about it. We just make the initial noise initial drag and does it and that is why at times I also blame us all the All the press journalists. I'm a journalist. I've been in practice for close to 30 years I'm a journalist and I know what I'm talking about most often They're not part of your problem is that we easily take our eyes off the ball and cut you with water Whatever news all the black countries They will mention that they see this Investigation through till the end on to get results. We have left that one We are jumping into other ones now. And that is what is making debate. Have you seen anything about better yet? at the humanitarian Affair scandal on the public of any Newspaper in the last two weeks or even TV stations Or radio stations nobody's talking about it. And that is it because most of and that is most of this This government officials because they not just back and back and shut and that is in the Onto we bring to continue to have hope people are comfortable and make sure that We make sure that they are persecuted and they so fast for their deeds Then it becomes what it is in as much as I know that this is still within the realm of allegations as well as That issue is concerned that what is being done the investigation point that I will raise What have they you mean that is taking them is going to take the one year to investigate that issue And they will not be able to come out to report on that That is the problem Anyhow, well, this is what we have to drop it here. We'll have to drop the ball here. Thank you so much for joining us Thank you so much. Mr. Chris. It's always nice having you on our program Yes, thank you very much for having me as I said I'm not going The average Nigeria not me. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yes, you too All right, we've been speaking with Chris King day one. Do is a member of the chatted Institute of Abitrators in the UK. They was joining us here in Lagos state We'll go on a short break. We've had the weather and when we return we'll be looking at a hot topic. Stay with us


Great Scenes from Great Plays with your host Walter Hamden and starring tonight Miss Celeste Holm and Mr. Walter Abel in Dark Victory. Each week at this same hour the Episcopal families of your own community and the Episcopal Actors Guild invite you to share the dramatic inspiration of Great Scenes from Great Plays as transcribed by famous artists of stage screen and radio and now here is your host the distinguished actor manager Mr. Walter Hamden. Thank you and good evening. Our play tonight is not one of those tales which are briefly told enjoyed and soon forgotten but a story so deeply appealing that it would be told a hundred times and with each telling bring new pleasure. It is George Brewer Jr. and Bertram Bloch's Dark Victory and I'm privileged to present as our stars tonight Academy Award winner Celeste Holm and the ever-popular star of stage and screen Walter Abel. Thank you Mr. Hamden. I'm very happy to be here to play the role of Dr. Frederick Steele and I'm happy as still to have as Judith Trahearne my patient in the story Celeste Holm a lovely star and a talented star if I may say so. Thank you Walter. Judith Trahearne is a wonderful individual under her somewhat misleading manner. I think there beats a heart that every woman will understand. I like her so much that sometimes I forget she isn't real. Oh but she is Celeste as we're about to learn. So let us go together through the open door of our imaginations into Dark Victory. We're in a hotel room. The early morning sun shines through the windows on fine furnishings and on a man's expensive leather bags in the process of being packed. Outside the traffic of New York City roars down the avenue but inside the two men arguing hear only each other's quiet voices.  There are cases beyond the scope of a general practitioner and this is one of them. So I thought of Dr. Frederick Steele the best brain surgeon of the city and I came to you. Thanks Parson.  I closed my office two days ago and my train for Vermont leaves this afternoon but this is a matter of life and death.  Think Fred a girl 27 years old beautiful rich everything to live for and she'll die unless she gets help. Help from you. What's the vacation compared with that? I'm not taking vacation. I'm packing up everything I own clearing out for good. Don't mean you're retiring at 35. Of course not. I'm going to be a country doctor. Parsons among my old friends and neighbors. Human beings I know and can keep on knowing even when they're well and their case is closed. That's the kind of doctoring I want. Well you can at least give me a diagnosis can't you? Well if I can diagnose from the facts you give me here and now. Very well. The girl's Judith Trehearne. She's the daughter of Robert Trehearne. The late wire manager.  Five months ago she had a queer kind of accident. She was riding cross country with a chap she knows. They were making for an open gate. She was on his right and as they came near the gate he kept well over to the left to give a room but instead of riding through the opening she went head on for the fence as though she hadn't seen it. What's that? She held her horse straight for that fence about six feet from the opening naturally the animal shied and threw her. I saw her about an hour after she ridden home had breakfast and seemed quite all right but then she had a fainting spell. Did she actually faint or was she just very dizzy? I couldn't make up. My first guess was her heart but I think now she injured her head in some obscure way. What made you think so? She developed headaches after that and they've been growing steadily worse. Fred I'm desperate. You make it so tough to refuse Parsons. Then don't refuse. Will you promise to bring me back in time to catch my train this afternoon? Yes I promise. All right then come on I'll go talk to your Judith Trehearne. How do you do Mr. Trehearne? Hello doctor. Oh how did you get those burns on your fingers? What burnt? It doesn't matter. Sit down Mr. Trehearne. How nice of you to ask me Dr. Steele in my own living room or is it your office now? Hardly resembles an office does it except for the books. Do you read all those books? Not much. That is not lately. Why have your eyes been bothering you? No if you don't mind we won't talk about my health it bores me. Parsons insist there's something wrong with me. He's always bringing in new doctors. There isn't anything wrong with me and I don't like doctors. You're 27 years old Mr. Trehearne. Yes and I'm an only child. I weigh 125 pounds. I've had mumps, measles and whooping cough all at the proper ages. My father drank himself to death and my mother lives in Paris. If you're interested we dislike each other cordially. So you live alone? Yes but in plush surroundings. As well as lonely? Lonely? Don't kid yourself doctor I have a marvelous time. All the pleasures of the idle rich and I like them. Anywhere that's my racket. What's yours? Mine. High pressure surgery. Park Avenue-Pliantel about ten days off each summer. Sounds awful. It is. It's a dreary round to which I've been caught up as you've been caught in yours. But I'm quitting Mr. Trehearne. I'm getting out. Where to? A little town in northern Vermont. I'm going to be a country doctor there. I thought you were tops in your line and made loads of money. The order of my life was still upset. Order? That's old fashioned nonsense. You might take a look someday at the universe around you. You'll find it full of hidden mystery and incredible vitality. Balanced and ordered in all its parts. You have only to look and you'll see. I intend to though not quite that way. I want to see the whole show doctor to try everything once while I'm young. Get all the excitement that's going. Have every sensation, every experience there is. Admiration and gaiety and music and dancing and the world at my feet. Oh dear. What's the matter? I haven't done this in years. Talked on like that. You made me, you led me on and not. Now you have a headache. No. Yes and the light hurts your eyes. It does not. Why did you fall Mr. Trehearne? The horse threw me Dr. Steele. But why?  No. No it's not true. But you were afraid and you didn't tell Dr. Parsons. And you never told him about your eyes. My eyes are fine. Are they? And what about that strange dull feeling in your right arm? Oh. That's how you got the burns on your hand Mr. Trehearne from a cigarette.  Don't. I've got to. Your memory's all shot to pieces too isn't it? No. Stop fighting. I won't let you talk. What did you do yesterday quickly? Well I played bridge in the afternoon. I went to the theater. The other way around wasn't it? No. Of course. No. Wait. How'd you come out at bridge in the evening? I don't know. I play so often. You lost didn't you? Yes. I guess so. Rotten luck I've been having. No Mr. Trehearne.  All right. All right. That's true. Everything's true. But I can't help it. Can I? Perhaps I can help it. That's why I'm here. Now. Will you let me try? Well Parsons. I've diagnosed the case for you. And a brain tumor. Glyoma. Beyond any doubt. In the temporal and paratol lobes. I've got to operate. Will it cure it? Temporarily. But if the x-rays show that the tumor's diffused and I think it is. She'll get a recurrence. How long? Ten months to a year. She probably never know until the last. She'll just suddenly someday go blind for a minute. Blind. It won't last but that's the signal. Afterward there'll be not more than a few hours and then sleep. Will you tell her? Well I can't give her the blunt truth. But I've got to tell her something. After I've seen the x-rays I'll have a talk with her. Mr. Han. This may be something of a shock to you but it's only the idea that's hard to accept and not the thing itself. It's to be a punch doctor. I'm ready for it. That's not shadow box. You see according to the x-ray something's gone wrong and that incredible labyrinth of wires. The brain. Brain. Now don't be alarmed. It's like any other part of the body. It gets out of the kilter sometimes and it has to be adjusted. Adjusted? An operation. Oh no I don't believe that. It's absurd. I won't have it. It must be pretty serious. It is very serious. It's going to take our combined efforts to beat it Mr. Han. I need all the help you can give me. All the faith. All the trust. How long would I have to stay in the hospital? About six weeks. And then I could lead a normal life again doctor. I'd be completely cured. I think I can guarantee that you'll make a complete surgical recovery. A complete surgical recovery. What's that mean? What means you'll get well? Any more worries? I just wanted to be sure I knew the truth and that you weren't keeping anything back from me. All right Dr. Steele. I trust you. A great old and blame in person. It's wonderful to see you back in your old form. Thanks. To what do I owe this? Great honor. Oh stop it. Get down off that horse and I'll tell you. Tell me this way. It's safer. Nonsense. Judith every time I see you must you throw up to me what I am with other people. You know it's different with you. You're the only person in the world I respect. The only completely honest person I've ever met. I've met one myself. Ah the brilliant brain surgeon. I'm sorry. Don't be angry. I don't think I can be today. It's spring and I've been riding for the first time since my operation. I never felt better in my life and I'm free all then free. I'll never have to be afraid again. Not even a few. Now what did you want to see me for? Oh nothing much. Oh for heaven's sake don't sulk. If you've been waiting at my house you must have some reason. Well the fact is my publish is descending on me this evening for a conference. He doesn't like my new book. Well I still don't see what I've got to do with that all. Well I mean he'll be in a frightful mood you see so I thought of a little dinner very gay very chic with a few of my better friends tonight. Yes will you come Judith please. I can't really all I'm having an important guest of my own for dinner a very important guest. Let me look at you Judith. You look splendid. Do I. Completely fit. No headaches. None at all. Patient dismissed. Thank you. It's nice to be dismissed. So you're really starting off to be an old fashioned country doctor hideously old fashioned in Vermont way back in the hills of Vermont. Will you get down here again occasionally. Not often I expect they'll keep me pretty busy. I expect so and you'll love it in time you'll forget us here. No I Judith remember this I'll come to you whenever you call me whenever.  No reason but if you did I'd come but I've interfered with your life enough already and I you you're three months late going to Vermont because of me who told you that Dr. Parsons I know you gave up your plans to save my life Fred I can't find words to thank you for just seeing you as you stand there he pays me a thousand times for anything I've done. I'd like to believe that don't you Judith I once asked for your complete trust now I know that's not enough to do with anymore. I want your love to Judith I oh Fred if I shouldn't have said it for give me but I wanted you to say it for so long I've hoped and prayed you'd say it because I love you. This is the first time I've ever asked I didn't know it was going to you don't even know you can kiss me if you want to Judith. Oh darling how do you take your coffee in the morning. Black strong with no sugar.  Fred Fred you've got to tell me I'd hoped with all my soul this wouldn't happen but it has so we'll face it together Judith hold on my hand and listen as far as surgery goes you're cured absolutely that's the truth but there are some things that surgery can't do oh no you mean this horrible things coming back and it's another up no no it doesn't does it it means another operation wouldn't do any good doesn't Fred tell me the truth that's right Judith how will it happen as quietly as going to sleep there'll be a moment when you won't be able to see as usual that's all you mean I'll go blind just for a moment then you'll be perfectly all right again but after a few hours two or three you go to sleep I see how much time have I before six months possibly 10 oh how nice how terribly merciful and you've known this all along from the very first yes and you're still offering to marry me and take me to Vermont with you Judith no I have nothing not you not Vermont another flower garden you're marrying me Judith you're coming with me thanks just the same Fred but I'm staying right here among my friends where I can cram every minute I have left for the only kind of living I know please go Fred and don't ever come back my sweet just dropped in to say congratulations on the loving cup oh that take it if you want it all and I don't after all was killing your horse and your lovely self to get it I wanted to win that's all now I have would you mind leaving my dressing room Walden I'd like to change what's the hurry you're not going anywhere except home that is now that all your friends but me have turned against you they haven't come come my dear you used to be honest all right they have so what nothing I just thought you might be lonely even if it's your own fault get out of here Alden the way you've been acting the past three months get out but I want to stay now look no you'll look in the better there on the wall see yourself as you are now darling Judith because you don't realize how you've changed you ought to be glad there's a man who still wants you but not you Alden you don't want me really you don't know the truth about me you don't know that in a couple of months I'm going to die it's true Alden Dr. Steele knows ask him he'll tell you my old illness is coming back and this time it can't be cured I'm I'm sorry Judith really sorry so that's why you've been kicking over all the traces yes but I'm very grateful to you for pointing it out to me because I was going to die a coward in a cheat and suddenly I find I don't want to rather be brave for a change and if it isn't too late and I don't think it is somehow I'm gonna try to be brave Dr. Fred yes hello miss Jenny I'm home and about time to it's past nine o'clock I'll get you some no please I had supper before I got here did you Frederick now look miss Jenny I'm not in the second grade any longer remember so I can't bully you anymore is that it all right but I do wait I thought I heard footsteps outside no if there were the bell would ring you're just haunted Dr. Fred nonsense you think any medical man believes in ghosts you may not believe in them but there's one in your life and it's made you unhappy ever since you've been here now you can't fool me any more than you could about that supper you said you've just had and I'm gonna warm you up some supper right but miss Jenny come in come in the doors open Judith you've come I've come I've come no no steady darling don't try to talk now you're tired here let me take your suitcase no wait please before anything I have to tell you this I did what I said I would I've lived up to every silly boast I made three months ago you're here I couldn't die without you thinking with you thinking of me like that I I had to show you at least that at the end I've learned something friend I won't ask much of you now except to be here for your strength will help me face Judith darling I'll never let you go again a man and a dying girl have met to love it's not it's not not while we're together for a moment for always darling a moment isn't forever the shadows on my life and I don't want it to fall on you my darling listen between now and now there's been birth and the passing of life sunset and dawn and your shadows mine and your victory over it that's my tool but others what will they think this Jenny she won't know Judith we'll never tell her then then I'm not afraid of the future not with you Fred let it come Montreal calling dr. steel but he isn't here I can't tell you where to reach him I think he's on his way home so can I take a message I miss his steel yes I'll tell him dr.

What's good Josh Boros back again with another video so with the Rocks latest return to Monday Night Raw and him pretty much alluding that he wants to have a match with Roman Reigns since he said you know maybe he wants to sit at the head of the table you only say that for one reason and that's to have a match with Roman Reigns since that has been kind of you know put out there by the Rock himself on WWE television and even Roman Reigns responded with a laugh and emoji on Twitter not taking it seriously at all as anyone would expect Roman to kind of respond to that situation the question has become where does this match take place it's been a lot of discussion on social media just within the first few hours of the Rock saying when he said on Monday Night Raw Twitter has been going crazy social media has been going crazy on YouTube Instagram the question has been just circulating where does this match happen does the Rock and Roman happen at Elimination Chamber this year or does that match happen at WrestleMania 40 now me personally if I had to choose and if I'm booking the shows I'm going with the Rock versus Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber one the Elimination Chamber is gonna be in Australia they're gonna be in a stadium venue a stadium is gonna be a stadium event I believe it holds up to 65,000 people it's a big stadium so it's gonna give that WrestleMania feel regardless there have been rumors and reports that the Australian government wants the Rock there so I can see them throwing big dollars to have him there at the event now granted you don't have to have him wrestle but I feel like if you're gonna have the Rock there your minds will have him wrestle and it would be a very good main event it would be a very good an exciting world I don't know if it'll be a very good match because we don't know how you know in shape the Rock is when it comes to the ring abilities so I'm not gonna sit up here and say it will be a very good match but I do think you know it could it it should be let's put that out there and I do think the feud itself would be you know pretty pretty intense considering they've they've had their little jabs over the years nothing too crazy but just you know you know that obviously Roman feels like he's the head of the table and you know the Rock believes that he's the head of the table so doing those things where the feud itself kind of it kind of sells itself just off the hype this this would be a first time ever but I would just go with that being the outcome them having the match in at Elimination Chamber having Cody Rhodes find a way to get himself into the Elimination Chamber match himself and win it and then go ahead having Roman versus Cody happen at WrestleMania for night two now I want to give reasons why cuz I don't want to just put it out there like oh it should happen at this at this particular moment so Cody can finish his story me personally I think it creates a better story going into WrestleMania because you want the story to be different if you're gonna do a rematch with Cody and Roman it has to be a different dynamic can't be the same thing that we just had last year Cody trying to finish the story has to be more than that and this side this time you can do more in a sense of if you have this match happen at the Elimination Chamber and you have the Rock lose which most people would think that was it was gonna be the outcome you have the Rock lose and you have Roman cheat per usual with Jimmy and solo at his side and it can be a situation where Roman already feels like he's untouchable he beats the Rock now he's truly he's truly on another level now in his eyes and it's going to cost him because at that point he's going to start to feel as if he doesn't need anybody that includes solo that includes Jimmy and that includes Paul Heyman and I do feel like it's gonna get to a point where one by one these individuals are gonna leave Roman because he's gonna start to be disrespectful mind you he would be beating one of the greatest of all time that happens to be in his family and that's always been the one thing that people put over him is well the Rock is better than you you know the Rock is on a whole not a level and this will be something he'll be able to knock down you know or check off his list and he would have literally done it all so at that point he would have beaten everybody there is to beat so when you get to that point now it doesn't matter like I'm untouchable and he's gonna start to disrespect the people that have quote-unquote made him untouchable he's gonna disrespect the people that have helped him retain that title that championship and I think that would be a more interesting story to go into WrestleMania and then of course he's gonna disrespect Cody even more he's like bro I beat the Rock you can't tell me nothing I've already beaten you and Cody can try to expound on that you only beat me because of your family you didn't beat me because you could on your own and that's when he can start being disrespectful I don't need none of them I'm a way above everybody in my family and that's going to be his downfall his ego his his his decide his desire to let people know that he's better than everybody else even the people that has helped him that is to me a better story to tell going into WrestleMania rather than if it's just a rock and Roman going into WrestleMania we know the outcome we for sure know that the Rock is not losing we know how this ends if that happens going into WrestleMania we know how this ends and then we know that Roman most likely won't be losing that title until he breaks Hulk Hogan's record and that in my opinion is not the route to go because once again you put Smackdown in another compromising situation for a whole another year where they don't have a top champion majority of the year he would have already beaten everybody there's no one else for him to beat so that's why the rain would need to end at WrestleMania 40 because who else is there to beat who else nobody you have the rock versus Roman there's nobody else for him to beat unless and it's not I don't I don't think the fans can wait that long even more for Cody to potentially finish the story at that point no one's gonna care so I say elimination chamber if I had to choose that way you can build up story with Roman's character going into WrestleMania and and once again Cody will be the ultimate underdog because he has to really fight deep down to beat Roman but also in a sense he's gonna have to use some mind games to separate Roman from the rest of his family and Roman will probably do most of the heavy lifting there because his ego is going to get into the way so that's my personal pick if I had a chance to book it I would have Roman versus the rock at elimination chamber have them have a great match Roman cheats to win per usual it'll be you know one of those things that boosts his ego to a whole another stratosphere have Cody win elimination chamber and build up from there finding a way Cody finding a way to get within the bloodline to get them to realize he does not care about them and once they start to realize he doesn't care about them it gets to a situation where the last person that will have his back is Paul Heyman and on that night on the main event of WrestleMania night two WrestleMania 40 it could be a situation where maybe Roman Reigns needs Paul Heyman to cheat for him or whatnot and maybe he does something that Roman Reigns doesn't like and Roman Reigns gets pissed no Roman Reigns gets mad at Paul Heyman he pushes him he shoves him he puts his hands on them and it gets to the point where Paul Heyman was like you know what I don't need this anymore I'm done with this screw you and he walks away and then and only then when there's no one left no solo no jimmy no wise men then Cody has an opportunity to take him down and we call it a day and we move on from there and Cody beats Roman Reigns when he has no one left that's how I would do it if I had an opportunity I just think that's the better story going into the WrestleMania season because rocking and Roman's gonna automatically sell no matter what I think you definitely enhance the ticket sales in Australia you definitely sell out that venue with them if you advertising that as the main event and it's just you know it's we know the rock and the Roman's gonna be a one-off match but at least if it's gonna be a one-off match let it build up to something better for the long term instead of it being a one-off match at WrestleMania and then that's it and now we stuck with Roman as a champion again for another year just so he can break Hulk Hogan's record no make you can have the one-off matches just make sure it leads to something better for the people that are going to be there weekend and week out that's all I'm saying so comment down below let me know well how would you guys set it up would you have the rock versus Roman main event WrestleMania 40 would you have the rock versus Roman main event elimination chamber in Australia and then have Cody in Roman main event WrestleMania 40 let me know down below but I appreciate all the love and support you guys showing on channel bro 250k and I'm seeing you on speedy youtube wrestling champion the world appreciate y'all keeping with me see y'all next week peace
