Live from Anaheim, California, it's theCUBE, covering Nutanix.next 2019, brought to you by Nutanix. Welcome back everyone to theCUBE's live coverage of Nutanix Next here in Anaheim, California. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, John Furrier. We are so excited to welcome back to the program Dheeraj Pandey, the co-founder, CEO, and chairman of Nutanix. Thank you so much for coming back on theCUBE. Thank you for pronouncing my name diligently. You are welcome. I would work on that. So Dheeraj, it was a poignant moment in the keynote when you got up there with many of the people who were sort of employee number one, two, and three, four at Nutanix. They are the builders, the dreamers, the visionaries, the innovators, the disruptors of this company. A company that you started. So I'd love you to just start out by reflecting a little bit on your journey and sort of how Nutanix has evolved. I mean, it's a poignant ten years. The moment itself is poignant and it brought a lot of nostalgia for just looking at the early folks and how we had to huddle together on the smallest of technical blips that we would find in our thesis because the thesis was very bold. It was like, hey, we can put a lot of hardware into your software. It's like the way Apple would say we'll get rid of the camera and make it into an app. Like what? We don't need for a camera anymore. So that's what we had to do with data center infrastructure. So those moments are memorable. They're etched in history and my memory. And every time we get a tough moment now, we actually invoke a lot of those tough moments from the past to say, look, the more things change, the more they remain the same. If you don't think about theCUBE as our 10th year as well, we've been following your journey as well. We actually have sound bites of the early interviews. And one of the things I was always impressed with you guys was you stayed the course. You didn't waver on what was fashionable at that time. HCI was an early category. You were misunderstood at the beginning and then the numbers started to show and you guys built a great business. But now you're 10 years old, you're public. All the numbers are out there. You got to go the next level. This is your challenge with the team. What's the focus? What's the strategy? What's the marching orders for the team now as you go past 10 years old? You got competitive pressure. There's marketplace. The numbers are there. It's a big piece of the pie there. Yeah, you know, I can go back to everything I just said in my last answer as well. The more things change, the more they remain the same. The friction hasn't changed. Five years ago, we were a much smaller brand. We didn't have a customer base. We didn't have money in the bank. And we still had to keep raising money to fund ourselves. Today, we are running this business, spending, you know, a billion dollars every year now. But it's a free cash flow neutral business. You know, we've told the street that we're going to keep running it like that. But just go back to the basics. The basics of this company are what made it come to here. The same basics. We'll need to take it from here to the next 10 years. 10 years is the new zero.  You know, and it's a very metaphorical thing to say, but it's the new zero for us, you know. So going back to the basics of the 3Ds I talked about data. We are great at data. And we'll continue to be amazing at data. Reliable, highly available, high-performance data management. We're great at design, you know, just making things simple. And we're really, really, really good at delivery. And when we suck at it, we go and improve and are very resilient at delivering things, you know. So whenever something falters within our customer success, customer service, the way we're delivering things is pure software and subscription. I think nobody can touch us in these 3Ds. As you guys have proven a great loyalty customer base is very loyal on the product. As you have to go multi-cloud, as the enterprise gets modernized, this is a big part of your current business. What are some of the things that you're looking at in terms of these new products? Because you don't want to open the door up for either a competitor or a misfire on you guys. You got to continue to provide product leadership. Well, the most important thing is honesty and vulnerability, the fact that these things are not awesome big products yet, but they're awesome nonetheless. So how do you really have the small wins? I go back in time to, look, it took 10 years, it took 10 years for Amazon Prime to become Prime Time. It took six years for YouTube to even start to figure out who YouTube is really going to be. And Google bought rightly, which was the company that became Google Docs. Five years, they didn't know what they were doing with those things. So what's really important for the new products is this long-term greed. The fact that you really have this 10-year view of a multi-product portfolio. The most important thing is how they gel well together, how they really integrate well together. Because if we don't integrate these products and we just throw it out as things, as opposed to an experience, customers are like, I can buy things from best of breed. So how do you really make these multi-products look like an experience? Is where the real Nutanix design value is actually showing? One of the things that you guys have a good customer reaction to is the simplicity and how you can integrate well and reduce all these manual tasks. Which is kind of big, people talk about automation and everything, but you guys have customers saying, I went from 24 racks to six. I now run everything with a push of a button. Not there yet with a one-click, but pretty close. That sounds like the multi-cloud game right now where it is kind of hodgepodge. No one's actually yet figured out how to bring it all together and orchestrate it. That's the money statement, John, you know. That's where the money is. Complexity is where we go in and really figure out how to really save money for our customers, make money for our partners, and make money for ourselves. And the partner side, HPE, big announcement you guys been part of, they're going to be coming on today. How's that going? Give us the update on HPE. You know, the energy levels are high, but there's a bell curve of people.  We're looking for innovators and early adopters.  I want to ask you about innovation. Earlier on theCUBE conversation you talked with our own John Furrier and you said we disrupt ourselves. But you also just talked about these products being this sort of long-term play and really thinking about more of a holistic view of what the customers need. I want to hear about the Nutanix innovation process and sort of how you have kept that culture of a tech startup now that you are a company with a market cap and the multiple billions. You know, as I said before, we are like a billion dollar startup.  You know, I saw one of my slides in there talking, taking real pot shots of the sand. We haven't changed much, you know. So in many ways, reminding everybody that still day zero and day one is the great cultural gravitas that we keep retained in the business actually, the company, you know, having the kind of humor that we had, you know, keeping it personal and personable with everybody as opposed to, you know, stiff upper lip and suits and mahogany tables and corner offices. Those are the things that are the antithesis of what Nutanix is. Just keeping it humble, you know, like the fact that even though we have layers of management in the middle, how do you go six levels deep and really have a conversation as technical as you want it to be and as business incisively as you want it to be? I mean, there's a lot of things you can do by going six levels deep that otherwise would not possible if you just said, look, I just talked to my next level actually. And to us, that's the engine of innovation. And how has your leadership changed? I don't think I have a new customer called Wall Street. They buy my product. It just happens to be a retail product that you folks can buy too. It's called NTNX, the ticker. So I have main street customers and then I have Wall Street as a customer. And I need to figure out a way to really keep them balanced because I sell products to both of them. And it's a journey, you know, it's never easy because the customer that actually wants instant success, there's another customer that says, I'm here with you for the long haul. And what I need to find in this Wall Street customer is the ones who are actually for the long haul. My leadership actually is about balancing the two together. Well, let's talk about the Wall Street thing for a second because I think that's interesting. You've always said to me, you're playing the long game and you do, we've kind of proved that. But Wall Street, they're very short-sighted, right? So the earnings come out, you got to deal with the shot clock as a public company. As you go to Wall Street, how are they looking at the long game? Because there's major examples, Microsoft stocks on an all-time high. They were in the 20s a few years ago. Cloud obviously is validated. So you've got a cloud vision, is cloud marketplace. You're in the core enterprise, which has been revitalized with private cloud. Again, proves your thesis originally. So you're in good position and you've got the cloud game right there. What are they missing? What's Wall Street missing? Well, I think the biggest thing is that any transformation is actually messy. Look at all the transformations in the last 20 years. The good thing is that those that took the tough call of transforming themselves, they really have done well. And this is not just Microsoft alone, but Adobe, where I sit on the board, there is Autodesk and there is Parametric, PTC and Cadence and many, many other companies that have gone through this transition of getting out of the box to being software and subscription, actually. And that's the journey that we said we couldn't punt and postpone because if you want to be a hybrid cloud company, how can we not have subscription on-prem? If subscription is going to be the off-prem, it has to have on-prem subscription as well. And I think it requires communication, constant communication, wash, rinse, repeat with Wall Street as well. Wall Street likes those valuations. If you look at the SaaS companies or subscription-based companies, their valuations are really on a multiple, much higher than- Yeah, I mean, look, valuation to me is not an end in itself. If you do it right by main street, I think this Wall Street thing will take care of itself. Awesome. On the long game with your innovation, I got to ask you about how you're going to look at the partnerships and integrating in because the competitor out there in the middle of the room there is VMware and Dell Technologies, they want to go end-to-end and they want to own everything end-to-end. You guys are taking a different approach. Could you share your competitive strategy in terms of how you guys are different than that because you're partnering, you're... Yeah, I think as you throw the becoming bigger company and yet having a real childlike brain, I think it's important to really know that we are in this cooperative world and every competitor is also a company we cooperate with. Look, I mean, we run on top of VMware and more than half our customers still use VMware underneath us.  So we are a platform company, we're also an app company and our platform should run all apps and our apps should run on all platforms and that's the way they look at it. That's the reason why Microsoft is relevant again because they still look at, rather than a single-stack strategy, how do you really look at yourselves as living two lives actually, you know? And to compete, you just have to go back to the 3D they talked about. If you just keep doing a really good job of data, disrupting the biggest hardware players out there in data and be really, really good with design and elegance and frictionless delivery, I think we'll be in good shape. One of the compliments that the analysts on theCUBE always pay to you, dearage, is that you have a really good sense of the wave. You really know which way the technological and economic winds are blowing. I want to know, what do you read? Who do you talk to? What signals are you paying attention to? Or is it just this innate sense that you have that the rest of us can't hope to ever achieve? Well, thank you for that compliment, first of all. I'm honored. But I just have this simple mantra which says the more things change, the more they remain the same. So I bring a lot of things for my consumer life because I read a lot about consumer life and I have a little bit of an artist in me and even though I'm supposed to be a geek, I was telling somebody who's trying to recruit the other day that look, I'm really at heart an artist, more so than an engineer. And I think a lot of what you see in this conference and this company and the product portfolio, it's really the empathy for the other side. That really brings out a lot of the innovation and I mean, obviously I don't innovate alone but the people that are with us in this company, I just try to tell them about the empathy that I invoke for everybody else and I read a lot in history. I'm a big history buff. I'm not just the last 30 years of IT which I invoke a lot, but I'm deep into like the history of humans. Like last two weeks I spent a lot of time reading about Neanderthals and the hybrid Neanderthals with humans, modern humans and there's another ones that they found in these caves of Genosova. They call Genosovans, you know. So I read a lot of history and that gives me a lot of perspective and a lot of courage and I bring a lot of those things into this new life. That's again, as I said, it's the same as the old one with some new color.  That's what entrepreneurship is all about. What entrepreneurial thing are you working on right now? Because I've known you got to have your hands in some new things. Except the new entrepreneurial thinking or project that you're taking on. Well, the one that is a very interesting one for operating a business is capital allocation. And it's a difficult one because you have to basically be somebody who really balances content and delivery, you know. And content is products and deliveries go to market. Within go to market, it's marketing and sales. So as a company, we were tested in the last nine months to really understand capital allocation, you know. I'm a big fan of the book, The Outsiders. I just read this probably a year ago. And you could see that there was some themes in The Outsiders about running the business on free cash flow, which is nothing new. Like it's not like Amazon invented it. They've been doing it for those 40, 50 years. Second one is decentralized decision-making. The third one is a really good capital allocation. So as an entrepreneur, I'm learning to actually understand what it means to decentralize decision-making, you know, and do a really good job of capital allocation. And finally, go and tell the street about why free cash flow is the way to run a business as opposed to profitability in a gap because a lot of our dollars are sitting in the balance sheet. And they're not in the P and L. So I think really running the business where growth matters, which is about free cash flow about making sure that we can really create more CEOs in the company, independent decision-making. And finally, this idea that you want to run this business as if it's a bunch of businesses actually. Great. One of the things you keep talking about in this interview is balance. You're balancing the needs of Main Street and Wall Street, the needs of your cloud customers, the needs of your employees, while also growing this business. How do you balance it all as the CEO of this fast-growing company? You said you're an artist and you read a lot of history. Honestly, I'm not a very balanced person. If you ask me like work and life, family and work, it's because of my wife that I find a balance in. So we owe it all to her. Yeah, I think you can say that again. And the same thing is true for like, you know, one of my team members, our CEO, David Sanxtray, says, look, health, family and work in that order. And honestly, mine is in the reverse right now. So I need to really go in with these kind of conversations to remind myself that it's important to actually have some balance. Well, dearage, always a pleasure having you on theCUBE. Pleasure. I'm Rebecca Knight for John Furrier. We will have so much more from Nutanix Next coming up on theCUBE just after this.


A great small time has come back after a 40-day hiatus, a 40-day trip with life as a retired human. Tom Brady has decided, get me the back into some sort of goal-oriented business. We saw a photo hit the internet of Tom watching from the stands.  Then he sees Cristiano Ronaldo go out and dominate at the age of 37. Tom Brady sitting amongst the people who are going crazy. My time in the stands will come, he actually said. Yeah, you know, doing the laundry and taking the groceries in and everything. That's a lot of fun.  It just felt like he was gonna be back. I'm happy for it. Who knows what the case is? What I do know is the game's better when Tom's playing, excited that he's here.


It's a breakfast in plus CV Africa and straight to our next conversation where we look at Manchester United signing a new manager. Monday Thomas, you'll join us this morning. It's good to have you on the show and he's a sports journalist. Good morning. Once again, it's great to be here. I'm always excited when it's weekend, when we are going to see some top flight football Manchester United tomorrow against Altenall. But the biggest news is Eric Han joining them on a three-year contract with an option to extend to the fourth year. Okay, so it's more like a coincident that we're talking about Manchester United signing a new manager every 10 at the time where today in history David Moyers was also sacked and he got replaced. So what's the future of the club? We saw the last game with Liverpool and we could actually hear the coach saying they don't have better players. You see that the reason for all of that is that they don't have good players to match up the energy of Liverpool. So having this new manager now, what do you think would become of the club? Do you see them making progress in becoming a better team? All right, Manchester United fans all over the world are still, hello, can you hear me? Yeah, we can't go ahead. Can I go ahead? All right, so Manchester United fans all over the world are still back in an absolute euphoria because of the new signing of the new manager and it's quite understandable because with Eric, what are you going to expect for Manchester United? I guarantee you it's going to be free-flowing football, it's going to be populous driven football, it's going to be attractive and it's going to be of course a cup of milk with truck visitors. Of course, tell Manchester United fans not to expect things so soon. You talked about the players not being good enough for other coaches to execute their plans. Everton Han did not have too many good players in Ajax Amsterdam. He just needed to build a foundation. He just needed to build a foundation. It's quite unfortunate in Manchester United, they don't have a foundation. Alex Ferguson did not lay a very good foundation, although things were working for him. When I'm talking about foundation, I'm talking about the style of play for a particular club. It's quite a shame Manchester United, as great as they are, they do not have it. In Ajax Amsterdam, before Everton Han, there was a Johan Cruyff. Johan Cruyff brought a different level of football, self-foundation in Barcelona and if I take you back in time, Everton Han was a Pep Guardiola in Barmanic. So this man on the uncross kind of football and that's why he's working at Ajax Amsterdam, he's working at all levels. But you have to also know that it's a V-Ridivis in the Dutch land. It is not the English Premier League. The English Premier League is a very feisty place, very competitive and you get to see quality football at ESPIC. So I'm going to tell Manchester United to expect free-flowing football, attacking poppers driven, was capping off with trophies so soon. The three-year contract is not enough. Manchester United fans should not expect anything in the next season, in the upper season, even in the third season, where his contract is supposed to expire. Maybe they should start expecting the fourth season because it's not going to be so easy for Everton Han to instill the philosophy. His own philosophy right there for Manchester United was they're having, quote, being players. Paul Popba, big name player.  Cristiano Ronaldo, big name players, Harry Maguire, so the clock sometimes have conflict. Who should they support in time of crisis? Should they go with the coach or should they go with the players? So it's going to take time for Everton Han to instill the philosophy of his own style of play for Manchester United to be able to do great exploits as they are expecting from the new manager. It's going to be great football for them, but they need to be patient. All right. All right, Monday. A lot of people have sort of been setting an agenda for the new Hemsman at Manchester United. Specifically, Liverpool legend Jamie Cargher has asked him to sign or to sack two or three team members who actually cause in trouble for that particular club. How do you react to that? I think it's important because people are very living. I think some days ago, the two Chiefs of Manchester United said goodbye. I mean, I think things are beginning to unfold because of the recruitment policy. The recruitment skills is not really up to par because how can you sign a player 80 million pounds? I'm not seeing Harry Maguire is such a very bad player, but it's not that big of a player to play for Manchester United. In quote, big club, cultured club that way, of course, known for their trophy winning exploits. But now they just get to sign players because of the name they make because of the maybe a one season and that's why they got signed. So I'll go with the big names. Jamie Gargan, Gary Neville, who are always criticizing Manchester United. I'm also talking about Roy King, a big player for Manchester United way back is also criticizing. I think a lot of things need to be done. The Board of Trustees of Manchester United need to give every ten hand the complete empowerment to make decisions because if you go back to that particular administration, the coaches do not have complete authority. So but also just like you have mentioned with the style of play that Eric Ten might just come with, you know, he would require a lot of intensity and discipline and suppers have said that some players will not actually offer that to him. And so that might also be a problem. The likes of Pogba and you also have Rashford not having all of that amongst all this. What do you think of this? That's what I'm saying. The big players, the big players are going to be a problem to Rick Tenhan. But if they can just listen, if they can just try to give him the benefit of the doubt because of how great he was in Ajax, Amsterdam, 210 games for Ajax since 2017, 156 wins. That's almost 70 cents. So this man with it, with his antecedent, he is capable of doing magic at the games. So they just need to listen to him. He's a young manager, but he can do wonders. That's all right. Well, that's so much we can take at this point in time. We do appreciate you, Thomas, Monday, Thomas for being part of the show. All right. Thank you so much for having me on this slide. It's always a pleasure. All right. Monday, Thomas is the Sports Journalist and we have been talking about the signing of Eric Ten as the new manager for Manchester United. Let's see how the club fizz and that's the size of our conversation this morning. If you missed out on any part of it, it's all right to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and do subscribe to our YouTube channel with Plus TV Africa, Plus TV Africa Lifestyle. Many thanks for watching. I am Mesipoko. Have a fantastic Friday. And I'm Justin Akado and you will see you again on Monday top of the hour 7am. Bye for now.


Welcome to the Endless Knot. Today we explore the word loaf and its connection to anglo-saxon warriors, volcanoes, and Shakespeare's father. Bread is famously referred to as the staff of life because of its importance to many civilizations around the world. It literally supports the lives of people just as it figuratively supports the civilizations they come from. In fact, it's so important that it's formed the basis of social structures, transformed taxation systems, and even overthrown governments. But the earliest use of the word bread in English is not to refer to the baked good we know today, but instead more generally to refer to a morsel or piece of food. Any food, really. What we think of now as bread was originally referred in Old English, and in other Germanic languages, with a word related to our modern English word loaf, hlof, in its Old English form. We now use the word loaf to refer to bread of a particular shape, but originally it was a general term for bread. As we'll see, a look at the word loaf as well as other bread words and expressions will reveal a lot about the importance of bread to history and culture. Both loaf and bread are particularly Germanic words coming to us from proto-Germanic roots. Though we can't trace loaf back any further, there are two possible origins for the word bread. One is that it comes from a proto-Indo-European word which meant to boil or to bubble, a root which also gives us words such as brew, broth, brewed, breed, ferment, and fervent. This obviously refers to the leavening of bread, like when you add yeast to make it fluffy and full of bubbles. Hence also the connection to the word brew, like when you add yeast to make beer. The other possible origin is to a proto-Indo-European root meaning break, cut, or pierce. This would make sense with the earlier use of bread to mean piece of food. It's possible that our word bread comes from a conflation of both these sources. These Germanic derived words suggest the importance of bread to ancient and medieval Germanic culture in particular. As the Roman Empire came into more and more contact with the various Germanic tribes along their northern borders, the Roman writer Tacitus composed an ethnographic description of these foreign peoples and their strange customs, strange to Roman minds anyways. He used the Latin word comitatus to describe the way they organized their heroic warrior culture, a term still used by scholars today. The comitatus was the band of warriors who followed a particular lord or king. They would live in the Lord's hall and he would provide them with all the necessities, food, a lot of alcohol, weapons, and other treasure. For their part, the warriors owed absolute loyalty to their Lord and would fall him into battle to win loot, all of which they then handed over to their Lord, who then redistributed it among the warriors. Thus, a Lord's generosity, not only his bravery and strength, was crucial for maintaining social order. And the key to this is in the word Lord, or Hlafort in Old English, which etymologically speaking is a contraction of loaf ward, meaning in other words, keeper of the bread. The ward part of loaf ward is related to the words guard and guardian. The Lord's wife, the lady or Hlaftia in Old English is important too, meaning literally loaf maker. The second part of the word is related to an Indo-European root that means to form or build and also gives us the words dough and dairy. The first part of the word dairy originally meant female dough maker, then eventually any kind of female worker or servant such as a dairy maid and more specifically the production of milk and cheese. Then with the addition of the repart on the end, it referred to the building where she worked.  But in early Germanic society, the terms Lord and Lady reflected metaphorically the crucial role they played in providing the staff of life for the komitatus. Bread was a symbol of the whole socio-political structure. A similar idea can be found in the word companion, which comes from the Latin com with and penis bread. So someone you eat bread with thus a close and important relationship. Oh, and while we're on the topic of early Germanic terms for Kings and Old English poetry, the king or Lord is often referred to as a baggifa literally ringgiver again because of the importance of generosity to the komitatus. The Lord gives gold arm rings and other treasure to his followers. The first part of that word bag meaning ring is related to the word bagel, a ring shaped bread. So you might say that in the Old English epic poem Beowulf, the hero Beowulf is rewarded with bagels for going to Denmark to stop the man eating monster Grendel from eating all the Danish's bread. Of course, also commonly features in religion as well, such as the unleavened bread Matso, which Jewish people eat during Passover commemorating the story of the flight from slavery in Egypt when the Israelites didn't have time to allow the bread to rise and so ate it unleavened. And of course, in Christian tradition, the story of the Last Supper of Christ leads to the sacrament of eating bread representing the body of Christ as part of the Eucharist, which is also reflected in the expression to break bread, a communal activity kind of gives new meaning to the idea of the Lord's prayer, or as we now know, the loaf guardians prayer when it asks, give us this day our daily bread. Naturally, bread has been a major force in political history as well, and we refer to an important grain producing region metaphorically as a bread basket. For instance, Egypt was crucially important to the grain supply for ancient Rome. In fact, it was unusual in that no member of the highest senatorial class was allowed to be governor of Egypt because cutting off the grain supply to Rome would be a perfect way to try and overthrow an emperor and become one yourself. Riots over grain shortages in the city were a constant factor in determining who became or stayed emperor. After all, the grain supply to Rome was so important that it was personified as the goddess Anona. The Roman satirist juvenile criticizes the easily distracted Roman populace by saying that they can be bought off by politicians with bread and circuses, panum et kir kenseis. In later medieval England, well after the Anglo-Saxon period during the reign of Henry III in the 13th century, the size of bread and ale was enacted to regulate the price, weight, and quality of bread and ale produced and sold the first law in England to control food production and sale. Remember the connection between bread and ale? This led to the practice of the baker's dozen, giving 13 loaves for the price of 12, so that bakers who had the reputation of being frequently dishonest could be sure to avoid the harsh penalties if some of their loaves were slightly underweight, penalties which could include being dragged around town with the bad loaves around your neck or even having a hand amputated. This law also led to the job of ale-conner, a tester of the quality of ale. Now this might seem like a pretty sweet job, but given that ale often went off and that imposing fines might make one unpopular, people often had to be drafted into the role. One unfortunately apocryphal story is that ale-conners would test the ale not by tasting it, but rather by sitting in a trough of it while wearing leather trousers, whose stickiness afterwards indicated the alcohol content. I think I'd rather taste it. As a side note, William Shakespeare's father, John, once held the post of ale-conner. And then in 19th century Britain, the Corn Laws, protectionist tariffs benefiting domestic grain producers, were brought in and drove up the price of bread, leading to political turmoil and rioting. A demonstration against the Corn Laws was violently broken up by the government forces in the famous Peter Lou Massacre. These laws, combined with grain shortages due to the year without a summer, caused by a number of coincidental volcanic eruptions around the globe, most notably Mount Tambora in Indonesia, led to widespread hunger and even starvation. The Corn Law controversy came down to conflicting interests between traditional grain producing landowners and the new industrialists. An act by a Tory government led by Lord Liverpool, the Corn Laws repeal by a later Prime Minister, Robert Peel, effectively ended that man's tenure as Prime Minister because he was breaking with traditional conservative policy supporting the landowners by instead favoring free trade. So bread is a basic necessity of life in many cultures and its symbolic importance has been extended in modern usage to many bread-related metaphors for money. For instance, since the 18th century, bread can refer to one's livelihood and since the 1950s to money itself, while since the 19th century dough can refer to money and don't forget the connection between dough and the second element of lady. Similarly, the bread winner earns the money, first attested in the 19th century, and thus likely knows which side his bread is buttered on, 16th century, that is, where his best interests lie. If he's unlucky someone might take the bread out of his mouth, 18th century, but if he's very lucky his bread might be buttered on both sides, 19th century. And since Otto Frederick Rowetter invented a machine that automatically slices and wrap bread in 1928, we refer to a great innovation as the greatest things in sliced bread. When you think about it, this is the final dramatic step in a remarkable process which took bread from the central unifying element in society as evidenced by the Loaf Lord connection through industrialization to convenience food since we don't even need to slice our own bread anymore. But it shows us that bread is still important to us since we compare all other progress to how happy we are to have our bread pre-sliced for us. So in this video, I've asked you to use your loaf to follow a trail of breadcrumbs from the Anglo-Saxon loaf guardian to the Wonder Bread of Modern Times, sandwiching the juicy filling of history inside the dry crust of etymology to find that bread has a role much bigger than a breadbox in the world as we know it. And on that note, I think this video is toast. I'll be back soon with more etiological explorations and cultural connections so please subscribe to this channel. If you have comments or questions, I'm at alliterative on Twitter or leave them in the comment section below. You can also read more of my thoughts at my blog, The Endless Knot.


On the Mount Samocron Ridge, the first battalion fought its way to within a few hundred yards of the objective. The ground gained at the rate of a man a yard. And it did not have strength to carry the fight any further forward. On Mount Lungo, however, despite bitter resistance, battalions of the 142nd and successive waves kept pushing upwards. Until, in the early daylight hours of the 16th of December, its foot soldiers had gained a summit and were wiping up what remained of a stubborn enemy. And that height proved to be a key position in the enemy plan of defense. For even as Mount Lungo fell, the enemy throughout the San Pietro area made preparations to withdraw. Almost invariably, the enemy will counterattack to cover a withdrawal. The first violent thrust was delivered within a few hours. Counterattacks came in waves. The roar of the last mingling with the rush and fury of the next to break. Many companies lost all their officers. Enlisted men came forward as inspirational leaders to rally their battered companies and resisted yet one more onslaught. Our own artillery was brought to fall within a hundred yards of our frontline elements. There's during which the earth never ceased to tremble, counterattacks ended, indicating the withdrawal of the enemy's main body had commenced. Maintained contact with the enemy, our patrols immediately pushed ahead, entering the town they discovered that San Pietro was ours for the paking. The second and third battalions, less than a rifle company in strength, weary to death who were alive, stumbled forward past San Pietro to consolidate gains and re-establish contact with the enemy, now taking up new positions some five kilometers beyond. That is the broad shape of the battle of San Pietro, which was the first of many battles in the early valley. It was a very costly battle. After the battle, the 143rd Infantry Regiment alone required 1,100 replacements. The lives lost were precious lives to their country, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves. For the living of the 143rd Infantry Regiment, more than 100 decorations were acts of fowl above and beyond the call of duty. Many among these you see alive here have since joined the ranks of their brothers-in-arms who fell at San Pietro. For ahead lay San Vittorio and the Rapido River and Casino, and beyond Casino more rivers and more mountains and more towns, more San Pietros, greater or lesser, a thousand more. As the battle passed over and beyond San Pietro, westward, towns people began to appear coming out of their caves in the mountains where they had stayed in hiding during the enemy occupation. They were mostly old people and children against enemy mines and booby traps which were in the process of being cleared, be as though the bad things had never happened, was resumed in San Pietro. Eat the enemy. The capture of the town itself and the liberation of its people is of an incidental nature. But the people in their military innocence look upon us solely as their deliverers, free them and their farmlands that we came. Behind our lives, southwest of the sea, the fields are green with growing crops planted after our coming by other people of other towns believed likewise. New one earth of San Pietro was plowed and sown. It should yield a good harvest this year, and the people prayed to their patron saint to intercede with God on behalf of those who came delivered them and passed on to the north of the passing battle.


This video will introduce you to clipping raster data using the raster function capabilities within ArcGIS Pro. For this example, I'm using the Vermont Hydra DEM that I downloaded from the Vermont GeoData portal. You can see that I've gone ahead and imported into my file GeoData base. We've seen the raster information that the cells are 10x10, and that it's a 32-bit signed integer raster, which means the integer values can be quite large and they can have negative symbols. Under the Spatial Reference information, we see that it's stored in the Vermont Stateplane NAT 83 coordinate system. The first example, we're going to zoom into an area and clip the raster data to the map extent. To access the raster functions, go to the Analysis menu and click on the Raster Functions button. This opens the Raster Functions window. I'm looking for the clip functions, so I'll type that into the search window, then click on the clip function to launch it. I'm specifying the Vermont Hydra DEM in my map as the input raster. I'm leaving the clipping type set to the default of outside. Then I'm also sticking with the default clipping geometry, which is the active map view extent. This is the extent that I'm currently zoomed into. If I do any zooming or panning after I've activated the raster clip function, I'll need to go back into the function and click on the little button to reset the extent. You can see the extent coordinates change. When I click the Create New Layer button, I have a new raster layer in my map clipped down to the extent that I was zoomed into. Raster functions generate virtual rasters. And going into the properties here, we see that this isn't a standalone raster data set, but rather a virtual clip that points back to the original Vermont Hydra DEM raster. Because it's a virtual layer, it doesn't have its own set of statistics associated with it. In order to get those, I would need to export this to a new raster data set. Exporting the raster data allows me to preserve it for long-term use and share it with others. To do this, simply right-click on the layer and go to Data and choose Export Raster. First thing I'm going to do is select the location for where I want to store my raster. I'm putting it back inside the file geodatabase. I'm leaving the coordinate system the same, but it's very important that I pay attention to the pixel type in no data value. Recall that the Vermont Hydra DEM is a 32-bit raster, so I want to be sure to export this raster as a 32-bit. Now, the original one was signed, but I know I've got no negative values within this area, so it's okay for me to choose 32-bit unsigned as a pixel type. If I had chosen another pixel type, I could have potentially lost data in the export process. Now that I've confirmed the export settings are correct, I can click on the Export button and this will write this temporary virtual raster out to a brand-new raster data set in my geodatabase. Examining the properties of the exported raster, we see that it's its own raster data set. Going into the raster information, we can confirm that it's a 32-bit unsigned raster, just as we specified in the export routine, and we'll also notice that the cell size has remained unchanged. Because it's a permanent raster data set, it has statistics associated with it, and we can see that the spatial reference has remained unchanged. Now let's look at a situation in which we want to clip our raster down to a polygon layer. Here I have the Green Mountain National Forest Management Units. I'd like to clip my raster data down to one of these management units, so I'm going to select it, go to the Analysis pane, and then click on the Raster Function button. I'm setting the raster layer to be clipped to the Vermont Hydro DEM. I'm leaving the clipping type set to outside, but I'm going to change the clipping geometry so that it corresponds to the Green Mountain National Forest Management Units. With everything set, I'm going to click Create New Layer to create my new raster layer. As in the previous example, I've created a new virtual raster clip. However, it hasn't been clipped down to the polygon of interest, but rather it's been clipped down to the full extent of that Green Mountain National Forest Management Unit layer. The full extent or bounding box of the Green Mountain National Forest Management Unit layer is indicated by the red polygon on the screen. This issue arose because I didn't use clipping geometry. Let's remove that layer, go into the Raster Function Clip tool, and run it again. Only this time, I'm going to use the Green Mountain National Forest Management Units, not only as a clipping geometry, but I'm going to check the box to use input features for clipping geometry. Now when I click on Create New Layer, the output DEM layer is going to represent only the boundary for that selected polygon. To explore this clip a little bit further, we're going to go in, display the Green Mountain National Forest Management Unit polygons, but change the symbology so that we only have outlines. When we zoom into the boundary of our polygon, it appears that the raster cells have been cut into smaller pieces. Now raster cells cannot actually be cut in twos, but because this is a virtual layer, this is a cartographic effect that's only available when you clip using a raster function. If you use the Raster Geoprocessing tool or export this dataset, you'll see the full extent of the cells. Although it may look like you have partial cells, those cells are still there in the original dataset that this layer points to. Just as we did with the extent clip, we're now going to export this to a new permanent raster dataset within the Geodatabase. We're going to adjust our export settings so that the data are exported in the same data type, which is a 32-bit signed raster, as the original Vermont Hydro DEM. Remember in this case, signed or unsigned would both be acceptable pixel types for this particular dataset. Clicking Export writes this raster into my Geodatabase as its own raster dataset. When we zoom into the polygon boundaries, we see that no fractions of the pixel exist. We have whole square grid cells, and this is because in a permanent raster dataset, we cannot have portions of a pixel. The raster function tool can create virtual layers in which it appears that a pixel is cut in half, but when we export it, we get a full understanding of what that dataset represents. Raster functions are a quick and efficient way to clip raster data, but it's important to keep in mind that these layers are temporary and that if you want to make them permanent datasets for preservation in the long term or for sharing with others, you need to first export them to a permanent raster dataset.

I don't understand what's going on with this camera all of a sudden It's blurry like almost every other day every day There we go. Come on now.  So job. I was waiting Anyway, let's get into it though fix my camera.  Nice to meet you James. Good to see you finally. I've just been here to you the man the myth the legend A lover pool in and out of prisons Stuff's been viewed hundreds of millions of times for the last five years since I've started this podcast Your name has always been at the forefront to have on Thank you, it's good. Yeah, well, they always promise you to do it you first anyway You know, I don't see all my map, but I said the man if you do it will do it and it's it's mad the way it's fell in here because I had me a Had me calling me in here clothes on license. I couldn't go to country. So we pick Glasgow So now I'm here this weekend. It's me out of this thing. I'm wondering how so much Hostess from Glasgow Sean is from Liverpool. These accents are about to be crazy. I got a concentrate for two and a half hours It's all a line. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's all fitted in really good. So yeah, it's all good He shout out to Matt straight away. Good guy.  My dad was a doorman. I always worked all his life.  I was always busy and I can't sit round I'm just one of them people are just I like to be doing something, you know slight ADHD I wake up every morning at four quarter to five gotta be little Cup of tea and that's a yoghurt or something. Yeah, anyway um I knew two guys it was like I call gangsta guy. It was like look.  It's caused me problems people.    Be lucky to that you're gonna be standard behind us too. That's gonna have a cup of tea We're gonna stand aside.  It's a body arms legs. All right. Anyway, I've started doing it It's it I'm starting to get the better name for myself Yeah, and then don't come up You fancy doing a bit of security good looking life It's easy to wait someone In life it's hard to protect yourself and the texture of people anyone can get it I can go out of here now.  He done life And then he got another nine years for taking the fellas out on a bus a bus stop Yeah Then when he's gone in I'm left with this other guy to do the Dead Sea and I just changed the whole perspective of doing That's why are we doing this? Why don't we do it this way? Um, he was always taking pictures of them getting up where they live So become cuterly and I told them why am I doing it with them?  I get all of them. Of course all the lads they're getting a bit older and a bit younger You take over everything tongue to be all get all might be all crumb Uh, I started doing my own tests. My name started getting out there. Um I had a couple of pups on my own nose, which is the oak which we still had even when I come out of the tail, you know Natalie um I thought yeah, this this this this is good. This is all right Then I started on a scaffolding because I'm a scaffolder by trade Yeah, so I was doing my scaffolding I'm dead running the bar I never drank I said you ask anyone and any gentleman up there will tell you no one's ever seen me thinking of smoking Still it was 38. Why not? So you was 38? You see me thinking of smoking till it was 38.  I get it. I get it That's the reason I wouldn't You know, you know what? I was I know it sounds my mate.  I was only a young kid. So no one's going to give me doors So when a pub had a problem or the door had a problem, I'd just go in and see them and be like Really? Give me a chance You need to own one here.      I know him and I've been knocking these older guys out so it just It just screwed them fast.    I used to turn it up. But at the same time I wasn't like liquid courage. I already had this courage sober So, you know what I'm saying? I must the same sober or not With these hands at least if it came down to it not that I could donate or anything you two Violence is not the answer What was it like what were you like at school? Did you always have that size that presence?  What are you so school?  Chris Murphy is one of me They're a good long time mate boxfaring and everything great for that Yeah, so we'll enter this land below this land below school. I wonder if he's going to answer that question. I wonder if uh Uh James is going to ask the question about that bodybuilder You still cool with him? I didn't even slap them and a million people seen it You don't whoop them. I don't know if he's I can't remember if he slapped them or what but he did something to him on national television It wasn't on national television, but millions of people seen it I know at least from my channel alone 600,000 people seen it This video has 600,000 views and I was so sad when that happened and I had to delete it But whatever it's back up. I think but 11 of the kids in it I'm only I will do anything you see 12 11 12 something like that And my brother's in a bigger year.   So I got on with the gym seat here and the friend seat here All the others that you didn't get on man And I'm not a sheep.  I have people Tighten for me, but I'm going to organize some things and you know, I was too smart for school I was too smart in there I couldn't man. I couldn't I mean I did but you know, I hope my daughter is better than me. She's also a girl So, you know, they're 10 times smarter than us and I'm already a pretty smart individual. I'd like to think um So, you know Um, so anyway, I've gone to school and it's all good. Everyone has that else grabs in the fights So there's the school Here's my house. There's one field. We had a mobile shop and another shop I'd walk over every morning at 20 past nine I'd be late every morning. I could get in my in my in my house There'd be an m10 or m9 and I'd shoot an air rifle At the windows pinging the kids in the school That unit I'm coming in now. I could actually hit the school windows with the air rifle Anyway, I was late all the time. So one day when they're all changed school school, you're all fighting until you don't think So we're in the um, no the hall before you go in And it's like teams closing and events.  Yeah I was like all made up now. There's 11 of my kids in that school.  So I've walked out. I'm in the second year now I've walked out in front of all the school And they had a wooden clock With 20 past nine on it And they went we're gonna give this to Sean He's all seen him every morning Walking across the field coming in like he hasn't got a care in the Wales.  We haven't seen him from the school Yeah, hopefully next year You'll see a little bit of sense and we can get him up here and give him another clock And have him in flat plastic quality like everyone else.  Somebody in the school thought that was funny like an adult What did what did they expect after that?  I'm still not going in early um So I've got expelled three times But the governor's a couple of times So years ago when they give you the cane, they can't put the The last spot put the land over the red And people who know there was a cheat you called mr. August and mr. Whippy and mr. Patterson Mr. Whippy was the deputy at mr. Spassman's they had mr.  So I'm always getting the cane. I'm always outside Just just beating the old people. I didn't want to do nothing now. I thought you somebody in the cunt of me I'm not at it. You didn't see to mr.   I'm but I like them. So if I like someone I'll I'll bond with them, you know And he's just had this I thought he was just against me So anyway, I'm getting the cane one day of this mr.  He's everyone gets these off the cane. He can't take kids now Shuffling it back Anyway, I'm getting 10 Five on each hand. So we took me in this room next to mr. Whippy's office. Get your hand out So he's only me in him. I've had me bollocking off the tepid he had. Mr. Onksonson took me in this room And he gave me the key So he's angry going like I want to say well, what are you doing?   This doesn't get hard. I've been expelled couple times and I went No, you can't bleed you got that I thought you'd be brave I remember those days you get that whooping You can't really breathe you hyper ventilating how many did you give me then 10? I went No, you don't even give me eight and I put my hand out.  I picked it here up I've thrown it at the teacher He's ran out lock me in this M10. Get the M master I'm doing with me dad Me dad was on the fruit market and had a shop. He's worked all his life Me dad had come to work like one or two in the morning I'm coming up one or two in the afternoon So I thought get me man.  Start going. No one's mobile then.    Parsons. Mr. Smith I'm dead master. Mr. Whitby's deputy You are being a In the cheating fraternity for 40 something years And I have never ever felt like punching a pupil Just for something to me in this school I'm standing Hey, I was the same type of kid. I can see I had a teacher call me the n-word This how bad I was like she just felt like all my ancestors Needed to be brought into it like she she was on my like she called me that and she couldn't even she was I was like, oh I got you that flustered where you done brought 400 years of my past ancestral into this.   Shabby?  Was it an adrenaline rush? In adrenaline rush?   Where is he? Do you wait for a chance Me?  Do you know where he is?   Having so many doormen was a constant threat Because your name was behind it wasn't as much You know what?      Who's... That's like the story that broke the camel's back wall Whatever you want to call it And I've looked down Man has got me in the alchemy What are you doing? What's this?  What about me parents?        Are you angry? How do you feel? You know what? There's no law in the life of crime There's no honor among thieves Ever So all of that No snitching, no doing this, no doing that Bro, save it I get it, but at the same time Ain't no honor amongst thieves, never No, there isn't But how does it make you feel to be Staunch and try to do the right thing But then it's all came crumbling down with it You've just been used You know what? I went guilty Didn't the police take the man guilty? Where'd you get them?  No, I knew her mate, she was army spawns She pulled me a lot of times And she used to say to me What are you doing? You've got a family now What are you doing?     Start trying to avoid this You said plug it in But he had loads of businesses I had like 27 doors Clubs, sites I had loads of bad money I'm like, oh for fuck's sake How do you plug a phone?   You know what?     He went man, he was What's going on?    Well, one obviously not seeing your loved ones You don't take yourself, not seeing your loved one All right, you know, that's part one Yeah, I'll be back For the other hour and a half I'm not gonna react with anything With something on my lip T.L.O. leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on your post Notification, it's just cream Relax, I don't want no pimples It's toothpaste I'm gone

Happy March. Happy March. This is Watchmen work. We're going to work for 20 minutes and then we're going to spend the time remaining talking with you about your work and your creative process. We have, we are grateful to the public theater and howl around for making this virtual space possible for us. We're here most every Monday from five to six via Zoom. We've been doing this for many, many, many years, like 10, 11, 12 years from the lobby of the public theater. Sorry, there's some noise in the background. And if you want to get in touch with us after the 20 minute work session, Audrey can tell you how to do it. Let's hear it, Audrey. Hi friends. Thank you for having on the Zoom today. If you would like to ask a question, and you're inside of the Zoom, all you need to do is click on the raise your hand button in the reactions tab, which is likely on the bottom of your screen if you are on a laptop or the top of your screen on a tablet. And if you're watching our live stream, you can actually ask us questions on Twitter with at what we work SLP with the hashtag howl around. H O W L R O U N D, or you can tweet at the public theater, or write to our Instagram and we'll get questions that way. And that's it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. So shall we begin. Let us begin. Here we go. Now we're here for the Q&A. We got a queue. I'll find an A. Hey, Ryan. Hey, Ryan. Hey, hello. How are you doing, man? I'm good. I'm getting back. I just I'm not as zoom friendly as I once was. It's good to be here. Yeah, good to see you. I guess my question. So it's more I'm in the editing world now. Okay, what do you mean the editing world. Yeah, I think I'm trying to think of back to like, So I have like a body of work. Right. And, and so I was trying to approach some other editing ways I had before. Okay. Where I printed out so like I had written it and then I typed it up and I printed out a body of work. I had like half of it and then I just like put it down and walked away for some time. And that's a habit I know. And I know that in order to do. In order to create work, you need to show up. So I think I have a tendency to, to maybe get to the top of this mountain and then. And then, and then start looking out in other directions. So, but now I'm at the point. So it's, at first it was like a one person narrative, but then I was like, I think there's these five voices in this piece. So I'm trying to create a choir. And I've gotten into the jive of like, Oh, this is exciting that like this, this voice says this and this voice says this and then, and that's always, and that's exciting because that will feel good. And that's like, so then obviously that makes us want to show up more.  That hitting a lot of repetitive. And that's where I sort of, I think that sort of derails me because I, I'm, I'm like questioning if it's like in this repetition, like what works or what doesn't work. I think I'm being very precious as opposed to just like trying to use the image of like a, I think you've used before I produced like a sort of like enjoying the editing process of cutting things. Right. Like, um, in some of this repetition, I'm getting just a little lost in like what I'm trying to hang on to or like, I'm like, maybe that will eventually serve me, but it doesn't. But I think, um, so yeah, I guess in the editing, in terms of like repetition and what you, what feels worth, it's hard. Yeah. I guess it's like, I feel like I'm so in it. I can't really gauge what is how to cut some of this repetition. If it's catering to, uh, sort of the momentum of the story or not. Okay. Okay. So let me try to paraphrase. So you have a, you have a piece and you've written from the beginning to the end. So you have a, right? Is that correct? Yeah. Great. Okay. So that's great. So you've crossed the finish line and now you're going back and you're, you're working on the editing of it. And you find that in the editing, you're discovering that you have a lot of repetition. Right. Yeah. Correct. And you're wondering if that repetition, if we should cut it or we should keep it. Right. Yeah, I'm getting, yeah, I'm just getting, because I feel like some of it is helpful. I guess I'm just getting, and then, uh, and then I, yeah, I just sort of get them. I think I'm getting a little lost in, if it's just a little soap boxy repetition. I hear you. I hear you. So I mean, if you feel like some of it is helpful, then I would keep the parts of it that feel helpful. And the parts that feel like, I've heard that five times and I'm not really, um, I'm not going anywhere new with it. You know, or it's not really helping the piece in any way. You don't always have to go somewhere new with it. That's just one way of deciding. But if it's really not helping the piece, if it's not being additive, if it's not taking your piece to the next level, then, um, you can take it out for the moment and put it off to the side, you know, and you can always put it back. You know what I mean? You're not cutting it and burning it and forgetting about it. You know, you're just cutting it for the moment. And you're going to try it without it.  And it's going to, I think maybe some new things will come to mind after you've cut some of the repetition, maybe think, but I need something there, but I don't need a repetition. I don't need something that's just repeating. I need something new there.  So you cut those seven lines out and you just leave the space and go, what, what new can happen here? Just write that, you know, in the space by hand or write it in big letters like need something new here. You know, where else can, what else can the speaker say on this point? You know, where else can, what else can we talk about? What else might be fun to see right here?  Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I think I'm just, it's interesting to, I'm finding myself in this precious energy space. I'm not even, I, I just, I was editing out of a hard sort of copy by hand, but then I went, I was like, I think I'm going to try editing within the matrix computer route. And I'm even noticing instead of cutting, I'll just like italicize them. I'm like, maybe I should cut this, but I'm like, girl, why don't you just cut it? Well, why did you move from the hard copy to the computer? I think when I, I think I sort of, I fall into the category of, of actors to create one person performances. But then I, I think with this piece, I was like, I was like, you could have these five different voices of this one. They're coming, I guess in this moment, they're coming from the same space. So in going back to the computer, I've been, I've, that's where I found the excitement in being like labeling the voices. And like that editing process has like, the moment and that has been exciting, but then I'll still just italicize things. And I'm like, well, you couldn't just came on to it, even though I'm like working on like a duplicate copy. Right. Okay. Okay. So we got to simplify, we got to simplify. So. Assigning parts to different voices is not rewriting. That's writing. That's why it feels confusing. So what you do is take the, take a copy that's on your computer, assign the voices. Don't cut anything. Assign the voices and then print it out. With the voices assigned, right. And then cut by hand, circle, cross out, cross out and say repetitious, what new can I have here? Or what else can the care, this character say this character said this five times already, I'm tired of hearing it, you know, what else is new? Like that. Okay. So, yeah, cause you're writing and rewriting at the same time. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. So assign the voices, get all that, get all that done to the best of your ability in this draft. And then print it out again. And then read it through and start circling and drawing lines through things that you'd like to cut. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay.  Yeah, I mean, yeah, we talked about before, you know, doing one thing at a time, writing and then rewriting is, is better than trying to do them both at the same time. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you. It's great to hear you writing though, man. It's great to hear you. Yeah. All right.  I know. And it's like, no, I don't have a question. I think it was the wrong type of emoji. I'm sorry. I know it's weird. There you go. There you go. Hey, bro. All right. So I will ask, I was, I was heaven and haunt. So, um, in the grand scope of like playwriting, I'm, I'm new. My, my training is in acting and I took my first playwriting class, um, one year ago this February. Oh, congratulations. Thank you. In that time, I've completed two full length plays. Look at you. And both of them have been finalists in competitions, one at the South and one somewhere else. But here's, here's the question I have. I'm still, you know, in that rewrite place listening to readings, very private readings where I'm making changes. And, um, I actually have a Tony and Grammy nominated star who's attaching herself to one of my plays. My question is I'm really, really new to this world. What do I do? Do I just keep submitting to the various contests and workshops and hope to workshop it, or do I. That's that. Yeah, that, that's a great idea.  Sounds like you've got a great actor, actress, a person, um, who's, who's attaching themselves to your work, which is all good things. I would just, I would keep doing what you're doing. Um, I think what's cool is that the actor that was attaching themselves to your work might have ideas also. You know, um, hey, let's send it here. Hey, I, I know some people over here who can, who would love to do a reading like that. So that could help sort of bring your work to the eyes and ears of, of some people and instead, in addition to the submitting it for, you know, a contest route. You know, I think that's the best part to make. Yeah. So I'm trying to build its resume. Yeah. Keep trying. Well, well said. There you go. Keep trying to build its resume and keep writing more stuff. You know, that's good too. Thank you. You're welcome. Congratulations on all your hard work, man. I'm glad it's coming together trying to change my life with my brain. There you go. Perfect. Great. Crystal, go for it. Hi, how are you doing? I'm good, I'm good. Good to see you. Good to see you too. So we're back at the same place we were like last week. Uh-huh. Where I'm working on this, you know, the play about the sermons. I changed it to the absent sermon. And so right now it's one character. And I think four or five different sermons. Okay. And an event happens right outside the church. And it's basically. Him missing the mark because he's preaching on one thing. Something's happening and he's not addressing what's happening until later. Um, but I don't, I don't think it's a one. It's, it's not, I know it's not a one man. Um, play. But I've had a really hard time trying to find. Trying to imagine. More people. Um, because I think there. There's common. There's a lot of commentary on my end. For the process, not the process for what he. Has to say or what he has to go through. And hopefully grow from. But I, I feel like there should be other people. There too. I don't know. I feel like there should be a world. And I don't have that world. I just have this event. And this one man speaking, but I feel like there's more to it. And I don't know how to. How to. Get more of an. I don't know how to create that world. Usually the world kind of comes. Um, but I kind of just process has been a little bit. Um, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And I told you, like, just different. Um, because it's just coming from my opinion. And so I feel like I. Maybe I. I should have. Done things. The normal way, whatever way that is. Yeah. I don't know what that way that is. The normal way is whatever way, whatever it is that you're doing. Right. So have you ever seen the matrix? Oh yeah. Great. You know, Neo. We've been playing on one. Zero. Looks like they're looking at zeros on that green thing. Great. Okay. So you're looking at a screen, right? So you're Neo right now. Just look. Look at the screen. See all the zeros and ones. See those green lines. Okay. Right. Tell me who's in the play? Who else do we need to hear from who else do you need to see? Just tell me. Who else do you see? Who do you see? Hey, something. Black man. Black man doing what? Quick. Are you in? Are you in with him? Angry. Great. A woman? Yeah, great. What's she doing? What's she look like? What? She's trying to defend. And trying to defend the preacher. Oh, okay. Great. Okay. Who's she talking to? She's talking to the black man. Great. Okay. Great. Who else do you see? Who else? Quick. Screen is zeros and ones. That's all there is. You're reading the code. What is it? What do you see? I'm a pastor. Good. Okay. Who else? Even if it's wrong. How old? Seven. Great. Does it matter?  I don't know. I don't know. Great. Okay. What ethnic group? Anything? Can you see anything else?  White boy. Seven years old. Great. Who else? Who else? Zeroes and ones. Who else do you see? Come on. What's he see? Black woman. Black woman. Yep. A different one than before. Puerto Rican. Man. Man. What's he doing? What's his deal? He's angry too. He's angry. What's he angry at? He's angry at. At. The lack of response. Great. Oh, but there, look, I see there are people who are happy. Someone's happy. Someone's glad. Happy. Right. Don't you think? Okay. Zeroes and ones. What else is there? There's depth of field. They're not on the same page. Okay. Come on, Nia. Read the code. What do you see? Say something wrong. An Asian woman. Say something wrong. Go ahead. Keep going. Go ahead. An Asian woman doing what? Where does she just come from? An Asian woman. Complicit. Okay. Is she old? Young? She's middle age. Great. Does she have a family? Yes. How many? Three kids. And a husband and wife. What? Has been. Great. Okay. What does she do for a living? She's a nurse. Okay. Good. There's some people. Some, you know, right? I mean, yeah. Yeah. Well done. You see, it's all, it's there. You just have to like. You know, read it. That's good. Those are some people. Okay. Now you can make scenes out of those. They can talk to the audience.  You can put them anywhere you want. They can be on the street.  Right. Right. And just, I guess what, Crystal, that was the normal way of doing it. Okay. Well, yeah. So see how that works. Yeah. Yeah. What that feels like, right? For those people. You know, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. That was fun. That was fun. That was fun. Right. Okay. Oh, amazing. All right. Lynn, you're up next. I'll meet yourself. You got it. There you go. There you go. So endings. Endings. Yeah.  Is that the same for endings? Okay.   Yeah, that'll work. Yeah. Yeah. That'll work.  Maybe. I mean, but maybe that'll work. Maybe if there, you know, maybe that. Yeah.  Because I think life takes place in a bed. A lot of life takes place in bed. Okay.  You know, it's a mother and father. There are lovers there.  I seem to get ideas in pictures rather than words to begin with. Okay. And that gets bigger and smaller as, as my goes on, you know. Okay. And then the piano falls on the bed and that's the end of the story. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, okay.  You know, what's the story? We'll tell you what the end, but end you need to have, right?  I mean, also what kind of bed is it? It's a, when you say what kind of bed is it? What do you mean? It's getting past your peak to be a dicker. However you want to answer the question. The bed is, is just a bed, you know, raked a little, so people are, it's a bed and it gets bigger and smaller and smaller. Okay. You know, there's so many different kinds. I mean, there's the futon kind of bed. There's this triangle.  It's just a human. I mean, why are you asking me? I'm saying there's a human in my play. I'm like, you see what I put crystal through? Like, how old is she? How many children? You know, I mean, it's if you're playing, you know, what kind of bed you might want to ask yourself that question. I'm asking you. Thank you. Is it a Murphy bed? No. Okay. Is it a water bed? No. Does it change at all during the course of the play?  Like your basic hotel bed. That all it goes and how, why does it grow? What it's, is there mold on it? How does it grow? It was growing. Just as a twin. More people come, more people are in the bed at certain times. But why does that mean the bed has to be bigger? That's a good question. Thank you. I took, I'm just asking you because I'm trying to get you. You're asking, what's the story? The story of your. Of your play is the story of the bed, right? It gets bigger and smaller. And then what does it do? Like. You know, I don't know. Everybody goes to sleep or everybody takes a nap or people do the, does anybody hide under the covers?  Right. Does anybody hide under the covers? Does anybody hide under the bed? Oh, this is so great. So much. I mean, it's like, it's like, it's like, you know, I've never taken acid, but taking the class with you. I imagine it's like taking acid because good reason.  You know, I remember when I was in second city, the piano player always took acid and, and it was sometimes very exciting. I mean, I know he was, he was a very nice person, but he dropped acid a lot. And, and that's interesting. You know, and I would say, could I just have a bell tone if I have to sing? Cause I don't have perfect pitch.  I'm sending it to you. And you keep on sending me the bell tone. There you go. That's part of my job. I know that's part of my job. Your background, the background, your wallpaper, whatever it's called, looks like a trip. A 91 year old woman, an artist sent it to me. Last week you said you were going to put her name in the chat. I did. I started typing and it was over her name is, her name is not a client spelled C L Y and E. Oh, okay. Not a client. He's 91 or 92. And I just love. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Audrey. Awesome. Okay. So, so just think about your bed.  There you go. Does it talk. Just try to talk with bed. Yeah. There's a bed ever sleepy.  That's the best part. He tucked them in. They roll off of it occasionally. Oh, okay. They roll off occasionally. Okay. So when they get finished talking about whatever there is you're talking about, then it's over. Right. So you're talking about the end of the day. You're talking about the end of the day. You're talking about the end of the day. Unless it ends before they're done. And then there's the end there. Okay. You know, Yeah, just right. Just right until you can't think of anything else and then write some more. And then go, what's the end and then think of 10 silly things. 10 silly ways that you could end it and pick one of those. Okay. The piano, we already tried that. So you have to pick. I kind of like it. Yeah. Or they could all just be under the covers with the flashlight. Yeah. Yeah. Like your son. Yeah. Yeah. Now he has an iPad. I know. He was tall. Yes. He's, he's almost as tall as I know. I know. I'm not, I mean, I'm not tall, but I'm not short either. I know. Five. Five something. Five three or something. I know he's big. It's a large one. He's a large one. Thank you, Lynn. We've got about 11 minutes left and we're going to go to Laura. Hey, Laura. How did we just have you got it. Okay. How are you doing? Crystal, thank you for putting an Asian in your play. But I just want to say that, you know, I've been writing for comedy. I haven't been able to find the humor in this whole thing. I just want you to know that thank you for doing this community. Cause when I listened to everybody, it gives me the motivation of pushing to, to just get to write, you know, so thank you. And that's it. I, I sent something to Audrey and it was when David Henry, Henry Wong was here, it made me think of this whole thing. And it was about Yuri Coach Yama and Malcolm X. So if you're interested, I know that there's a movie thing. Thinking, you know, Lisa Ling is working on that. And it's just on the site. So if you want to just get in touch with me, I'll tell you whatever. But thank you for doing this always. It's just helping me move forward. How's your writing going, Laura? How's your writing going? The humor, I decided maybe I just take comedy classes therapy and not actually get out there and do stuff, you know, but I, we just moved back in the city and my neighbor, Upper West has all these comedy clubs. I need to get out and do it, you know, but I've been just so, my head is, I'm worried because of all the Asian hate crime stuff out there. And my son said, don't worry, mom, you don't even look Asian. Just don't open your math. You sound like a Jew because my kids are Chinese and Jewish. You know, so I'm like, oh my God. But I have to get out there and do the clubs. You just told a joke. That was a joke. I was, we were laughing. I don't know. I'm not the only one. We were laughing. I mean, that is a joke. You could get on stage and talk about Asian hate and how you're dealing with Asian hate and, you know, how your son says, hey, don't worry about it, mom.  I don't know. That's, that's fun. That, that to me is funny. I don't, and I don't think it's like offensive. I mean, I don't know, but yeah, you did.  What's funny has changed. I think we can go deeper and we can, we can speak more truth and say things. Maybe that maybe we couldn't say a couple of years ago. Maybe. Hopefully. Thank you. Thanks, Laura. All right. So we've got our eight minutes. We have a question. We can all look at our phones. We could. Or look at the code, the zeros and ones. Zero and one is a code. Second question. Oh, I pressed the wrong button. I think, oh, I've lost him. Oh, there you go. But he, he's on mute. There he is. Hi. So here's my question. I'm doing a rewrite and in it, I've decided to cut two characters, so I'm just making my play a three-hander. Okay. Now, when you go through in the rewrite and you do the cuts, because of everything I have to add. Do I, is it best to treat that like I'm in a revision? Or is it best to treat it like I'm back to stage one. Writing stage and just not be afraid to do like a fertilizer draft. I'm not familiar with the term fertilizer draft.  Okay. Every draft. Yeah, yeah, fertilizer. So, yeah. I think you should always write like that. I'm always right like that. So treat the rewrite like it's like you're starting from scratch. Well, like you keep what you think is working. And you cut what you feel is not, you know what I mean? So don't, I mean, it's not like a rule. Like the fertilizer draft. I mean, it's like, uh, we're not going to just cut stuff just because we're writing a fertilizer draft. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. We're just, we're just going to, again, but that's every single rewrite you're going to cut what doesn't work and keep what does. Always. Is that.  So what I think I was wondering is, do I go into those sections and write them as if it was first draft, or do I go in there with the editing mind knowing what exists in the rest of the play, you know? Yeah. Well, it depends if the scene works without them. Like sometimes, sometimes if they're necessary, for example, you move into an, you buy an apartment, right? You go, I want to remodel the kitchen. Can I cut, can I eliminate that pillar? And they go, no, that's a bearing wall, bro. So you have to use, you know what I mean? So that's holding up the whole structure. Now, if you're cutting some of the holes up the whole structure, you're going to need to fix, you're going to need to add something that's going to keep it up. If it's not a bearing wall, then, and you cut it. And it's like, oh, I don't even need that moment. You know, then you don't need to fill anything in there. You see. So it's really depends on what it's doing. If you go scene by scene by scene. Um, take out the character. Great. Take out the character. See if the scene works without them. Sometimes you can just assign a line here and a line there to the characters that are still remaining. Sometimes it's that simple. That's awesome advice. Thank you. Thank you. Look at that. What a beautiful day. I think it is. Thanks for the question. I know. Oh. Crystal's got a question. Yeah. It's, it's actually unrelated to what I've been writing. It's more of like the writing experience, the writer's experience. And like, you know, um, The, the rejection process. Um, and like, how do you. How do you bounce back after several rejections? Um, and like, when do you know. I don't know if the word is like give up on a play or like. Put it down or let it go or like, you know, how many. Is there like a formula for a number of rejections or. Yeah, that's a really brave. That's a really brave question. How do you deal with like, you know, people not. Not being as into your stuff as you'd like them to be or.  I think it's a personal thing. Like, you know, if you get like some people. You know, if it gets rejected on the first try, then they're like, I'm done. You know, um, I think overall, I think continuing to create work is the best. Uh, antidote.  Ain't going to let nobody turn me around. You know, that song you do. Ain't going to let nobody turn me around. You know, it's a song from the civil rights movement.  Um, that's what kind of, you know, they weren't talking about their writing process, but they were talking about the need to keep going and not letting anybody turn them around. You know, so you just, you just keep at it and you just keep sending them out. Um, there's no, you know, maybe you get tired of sending out play number seven. So you put that aside for a minute. You send out play number eight.  You send out play number 10. What usually happens is once people go, Oh wow, her work is great. Then they go, gee, you must have just, you must, you're an overnight success. You know, and you go, yeah, right. You know, but that, but that doesn't matter. The thing is, is that you have the opportunity to continue to hone your skill in the absence of, um, hype. You know, so maybe you reframe it. Maybe take it as this is a blessing. I get to write another play without too many people talking in my face. You know, I get to write, I get to write whatever I want.  If it doesn't get accepted by the third time, then burn it.  No, no, no, just keep, just keep coming back. Keep writing. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. It's always great to have you in class crystal. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I felt it is five fifty nine. It is five fifty nine. All right. We'll be here next week. We'll be here next week. Okay. Thank you guys so much. Great questions. Great questions. Fun working with you today. Thanks, Audrey. You're the best. You're the best. Okay. Okay. Bye bye.
