Hi, I'm Laurie Adams and the April What's Neat starts right now The What's Neat show is sponsored by caboose sharing our passion for trains since 1938 This is what's neat for April 2018 I'm your host Ken Patterson and this month We've got a really full show first of all our friend Jason Quinn comes by and this month He shows us how to remove lettering off of factory painted locomotives so that we can easily change the locomotive Numbers on our models. Now we visit John Parker's BNSF Fall River Division layout. This is a prototype based layout It's an absolute masterpiece to see this month on What's Neat. Also, Kevin Rubel shows us a little bit about Cadrail a layout design program and he shows us how to get the free download so we can experiment with it ourselves Now we discuss the right types of glues to use on the sides of your grills on locomotives in the event They pop off we talk about the right and the wrong kind of glues to use for this Steven M. Conroy shares with us some gorgeous drone footage this month more Southern California eye candy in Modeling ideas from above and lastly we cover the BTS sawmill project that I've been working on We've got an update on this this month that goes into the construction of wrapping the wood around the scene and Carving out the log mill pond now I want to thank caboose that wonderful train store in Lakewood, Colorado That's the exclusive sponsor for the What's Neat show and they've got a gorgeous new website That's got over a hundred and forty two thousand model railroad items that you can purchase and have shipped directly to your home So check it out It's at my caboose calm and they've given us an Spot on the website where they talk about the What's Neat show and they've given us a really good location Where you can click on it and see all of the What's Neat shows So with that that's the lineup for this April 2018 What's Neat? For layout construction this month we continue on with the BTS sawmill project last month We laid the track around the BTS sawmill area and successfully ran the first train around the reverse loop This month I pick it up with the planning of the access roads and the six points Where the roads will cross the track into the scene after plotting out the railroad crossings I filled the track area where the crossings will go with wood glue and Proceeded to line up a cho scale wood railroad ties Three rows between the rails and two rows outside the rails forming the road deck I sanded the railroad crossing would flush with the tops of the rail using an oscillating sander I then cleaned out the flangeways with a standard hex saw blade that it's been cut down to about six inches in length This provides the perfect width for flangeway clearance for our models Using a fine-toothed miter saw I cut the ends of the ties Forming the outside of the road which will be a 22 foot wide crossing deck This will be stained with wood stain and gray weathering chalks with the road Slash dirt brushed up to the sides of the ties flush forming a smooth crossing for our vehicles and horse-drawn wagons Turning my attention to the outside edges of the diorama I wanted to form a perfect curve around the peninsula with about two inches of space around the outside edge of the track Just in case of a rollover accident I needed to add foam to the outside edges of the layout So I started this process by cutting and squaring the sides of the peninsula making a flat surface Which would eventually accept two inch sections of foam cut to match the six inch thick edges of the scene I used polyurethane Gorilla glue wet with water to glue the foam to the sides of the layout and I held this into place with six inch long large pan-head screws While the glue cured over a period of 30 minutes these screws held things into place I continued this process till I had an even distance between the track and the edge of the layout of about two inches All the way around the entire scene I then drew a line atop the foam in the curved arc of the shape of the layout And I followed this line up With a pruning saw cutting up and down squaring the sides I then further Smoothed the sides of the layout using a hand-held planer a Stanley shore form planer and a metal square Checking my work very carefully all the way around as the squareness and the roundness will be very important When it's time to wrap wood sides around this diorama So I've got the entire BTS sawmill complex laid out here on the table it comes in a rather large box But there's something extremely important that I need to do because this structure is built so that it actually steps off Into the water now What do I mean by that? Part of the structure sits on very short piers and then the part of the structure that extends over the water Sits on larger piers and the way I'm going to design this and model this I'm going to have to build it so that I have the depth of the water already preconceived in my mind as I'm putting this together So that the building will simply fit into position and then set right on top of the water now in order to do this First I've got the diorama all laid out here and you can see clearly where I'm going to put the water I've got a router set up here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to take this router and I'm going to router out the absolute depth of Where the surface of the water is going to meet the building and able to arrive At that dimension by studying these smaller parts right here that in fact are the piers for the building These are the longer parts. It'll step off into the water These are the shorter parts where the structure is actually going to sit on the land now You can see I've got the building sort of laid in its position here where I think it's going to go But I've got movement of about a half an inch either which way at this point to like it final positioning Figured out now what I'm going to do is take the router and set it for the depth of the absolute difference Between the shorter piers and the longer piers which comes out to be just under three quarters of an inch or about 11 16ths of an inch if I did my math correctly on this So what I'm going to do now is set the router for 11 sixteenths of an inch and simply route out the log pond So that I can then finish the top of the water when I get to that point But that'll ensure as I build the structure. It'll set right down into position into the scene So that's the next step at this point Using a three-quarter inch wide straight router bit along with a vacuum cleaner I slowly cut the log mill sorting pond out of the foam to the depth which will represent the water's surface I made a crisscross pattern in the foam with the router until the uncut foam pieces were small enough to break off and Vacuum up to clean the area flat I followed this up with a flat Chinese pole saw cleaning the remaining uncut rough chunks of foam out of the pond. I Further finished the ponds banks and topography with my Stanley shore form planer Just rubbing and smoothing the topography along the side of the bank. I Carved the tracks profile and the ballast lines with a bent horse rasp working my way around the track sides. I Sanded the flat water surface with 50 grit sandpaper Smooth and level then I hand sanded the area with 150 grit sandpaper paying close attention to the areas where the water will meet the bank. I Carefully assembled the saw mills foundation together with wood glue and a lot of square blocks Ensuring a perfectly square foundation. I also assembled the structure's main walls using the same process Using a soldering iron. I drilled or melted holes where the building's piers will set into the foam Now if all of my math was correct The building will fit square to the tracks fitting perfect into the ponds bank and the layout piers sitting atop the water's surface I love it when a plan goes together. I Assembled the walls of the powerhouse the planing shed the drying racks and all of the other buildings that will fit into this complex Simply to understand their size and relation to placement in the diorama. I Routered out a three-quarter inch groove along the outsides of the foam and filled this groove with blocks of wood Secured in place with polyurethane adhesive. I then followed this up with wet one-quarter inch oak plywood Stapled into the blocks in the foam and then glued to the foam surface Following the round flow pattern of the diorama it made for a very beautiful presentation I contoured the tops and sanded everything smooth with fine sandpaper I then stained the sides with red oak stain to match the rest of the woodwork in my studio and after applying three coats of Polyurethane wet sanded in between coats the sides of this section of the layout appeared to be complete Now in a future update, we will add blocks to the sidings Finish the scenery and finish the rest of the buildings and structures and that ends this layout construction segment on what's neat For this segment of what's neat I've got something that's really neat and that's the whole name of the show, right? I'm here with John Parker in his BNSF Empire and believe you me that's just what it is. This is a double mushroom layout With double layers carpeting lighting digit tracks. It's got everything that we've ever wanted all in one spot I'm so excited. I can't even hold this microphone steady, but let's let let's let you tell us about your wonderful Environment that I'm standing in here. Please tell the what's neat folks. I Don't even know what inspired you to build this. Thanks. Good. Well, it's a layouts a modern prototype freelance BNSF Arrows 2016 and this is my second large layout and So it's a multi-level layout It's a mushroom. So you only see one level at a time. Yes, and that's the whole concept in the idea It really maximizes the mainline run. Yes, shout out shout out to Joe Fugate He loves those mushroom designed layouts and now I've seen one Joe and they make sense They save a lot of space don't they and Joe was a fantastic inspiration even I've got some of his original videotapes And I've talked to Joe a few times and I just love the concept And so that's what I've decided to implement here on the fall River Division I've seen it in drawings, but to actually walk into one you can fit into it I wasn't really sure about the head height, but you must have very high ceilings on this basement Yeah, I built the house with nine and a half ten foot ceilings Okay, so their ductwork and everything else is above the ceiling and that's a requirement for a mushroom to be comfortable And they have enough headspace have now you use a digitrack system, and I imagine you probably operate this layout Yes, how many folks is it to take that work it generally between 18 and 22 operators? Is there a special night during the week? Saturday we usually operate this second Saturday of it each month. So we're all crashing his house on some Saturday But I mean I see I see the digitrack system I also see a closed-camera circuit system where you can keep track of the trains Including the loading system that I filmed with the coal so that you can see because you said you wanted to make sure there Was no vagrants in those coal cars Yeah, I mean who thinks of that and then the lighting we walk through the layout room you turn off the first Oil you've got great lighting and balances. That's number one everything's well seen But when you turn off the lighting you've got hundreds you've got thousands of little lights the grain elevator all of these Beautiful scenes that we're walking up. It's like far out. Yeah, all the finish scenery has LEDs We do operate at night. So we've got night lighting for the blue LEDs for the effect and everything is lit up We've got street lights the buildings are lit up Everything's got light on it. How old is this layout? You say you're modeling 2016 So did you start building this in 2014 thinking I'm gonna do 16 the layout is about 10 years old now Okay, so my original era was 2005 and just within the last few months. We updated the air up One of the sliding scales that will continue to slide. Yes. Well, that's cool So the modern equipment is just so fantastic now. It's available now So we had to move up to 20 I want to start with how many feet of track but how many feet of aisle space did I just walk I got lost remember you had to go find me. I've never gotten lost. Can you get lost in a train layout? I just got lost and he found me and how many feet of aisle space is there? I have no idea. That's a great question. It's got to be a more than a hundred maybe 200 Well, there's more than a thousand linear feet of mainline track. Okay, so That gives you an idea of how much aisle space there is one thousand feet of track And how long does it take you to clean the track before the operating session? Well, I've got a lot of great help Okay, so my friends love to come over and clean track for a session So it's not too bad now you've got passenger train operation and freight train operation You've got coaling name us some of the industries that I just saw some of the types of industries, right? We do have a coal mine. I think you saw a coal mine up on the second level and we actually have a power plant So we have a job that goes between the power plant and coal mine. We've got large grain facilities from Brant's land on a layout that has OSB plant or roofing materials plant a lot of different large industries So that's the focus is large industries with a lot of spots and a lot of work rather than smaller Small it's this awesome. It's carpeted. It's comfortable. It's well laid out. It's a very good height It appears you're just about 48 inches high here between 48 and 50 and then your second level as we walked around That was a different level wasn't it? That's a few that's about 12 inches higher. So it's It's pretty close to your neck level that provides just a great perspective Another thing I've seen is you you've painted your walls But you also use a lot of photographic backdrops and it seems like you've put them in such a perspective view that no matter Where you view the layout the background seems to blend in just right was that an accident or do you plan it? No, that was the plan. I started with the backdrop painting backdrops and then transition to the photo backdrops but my my approach was to be able to photograph and get that perspective when you're standing trackside and And that's it seems to work out very nice. You've got some of your cohorts back here behind us Can we go talk to them and let's find out let's find out what you guys think about this you guys come and play here often Is that right?  He built it He eats and sleeps it all night long when you guys leave you get to go home You know, it's not with you. We don't want to but What's it like to operate on something like this? It's so complete and well thought out. It's great Yes, there's never a boring job. Everything is fun Okay. Yeah, it's a real dream to operate this it He's got something of everything. You like switching jobs. We get switching jobs You're like mainline runs you like cold trains you like yards Mainline whatever John's got just about everything here that I think of you guys What's your favorite part of the layout? So much of it. There's too many things that I have a favorite part No, not really far as operating. I like to run the yard. The yard is fun I'll keep you busy. Won't it? Now? I've noticed that all of your main lines as you look at the main lines every all Everything's right. The topography seems right. You've really thought about that now. You've also got signaling on this layout Is that right? That's correct. Yeah. Tell me about the signaling system that you use Well, we use the Digitrax components the BLMA signals and a friend of mine actually wrote the CTC program to represent a modern-day CTC CRT based CTC system. That's awesome. Yeah This is fantastic. Now. Let me ask you this if any of the viewers out there want to contact you Have you got a website or Facebook page that you like to use if I have a web page? It's www.bnsfrr.net and I'm also on Facebook under BNSF Fall River Division This is a treat. I just want to go run some trains. So thank you for sharing this with the viewers and guys This is a treat. I just don't want to leave. We're staying And that's this segment of What's Neat Jason Quinn and on this segment of What's Neat We're gonna tackle one of the very common problems for people that have fleets of locomotives The manufacturer only makes so many numbers and as you can tell I got a real problem for Chessy system SD 40-2s And I had to renumber several these and that's what we're going to show you right now Okay These are the items that you're going to need this can either be done with solvus set, which is what I use This is more aggressive or Microscales Microsoft a lot of people use this too What basically what we're going to do is we're going to remove this number 86 or 8267 is going to become 8272 So this is actually a very easy process. We're going to start off You're going to need to get a piece of paper towel cut to the exact size of the number that you're removing If you do not do this You will remove anything that your paper towel touches which would be very bad So what we're going to do is we're going to lay this on here. I've already got this one cut to size So you would want to do whatever you're doing and cut it to size I'm going to use the solvus set because this is what I like Liberally soak your brush and solve a set You might have to take a second and eventually It'll grab a hold and you're going to soak this Being sure once again, it only touches The Number or data you're wanting to remove and you'll know it's saturated Because you'll see the number come through the paper towel So this one's saturated here And we're going to let this sit. I let him sit about 15 minutes But that time is subject to change depending on what you're doing And this technique doesn't work on all Numbers But it's easy enough to try that if it doesn't work, you're not going to hurt anything But most everything I've done it on does work, but I've had a few instances where it doesn't so I just want everybody to be aware of that So basically what we're doing now is we're just going to let this sit for about 15 minutes And uh, we'll come back and show you the magic Here we are 15 minutes later and we're going to remove this and you're going to see the magic One thing I would like to note Is that during this process This needs to stay wet it will dry out. So you need to kind of babysit it and keep it wet But um, this has already worked excellent on this one. Just pulling it up the four Is is our the six I guess it was it's totally gone So we're going to take scotch tape I personally use the stuff that's in the green packaging And we're going to put this right over top of this like this Pat it down Peel it up just like that And since this is a g e we're going to have to hit this area again right here because uh Um, there's a little bit left on about it.  I hope this is helpful to you guys. Thanks Uh, I'm michael richards and you're watching with sneak with ken patterson Hi, I'm eddressel and I'm gonna be dead nuts level with you. This is what's neat for this layout construction segment of what's neat I want to discuss planning your layout now. I've been doing this for years using a paper and pencil I've had three years of architectural training in school Whereas I feel very comfortable with a t-square and a triangle on a nice piece of paper Whereas I can plan out the outside dimensions of my room and then take a compass and figure out drawing my radius Is where my peninsulas go and where I can fit the layout in the room I feel very comfortable with a piece of paper and a pencil. It just works But the other day I was hanging out with kevin rubel You'll know him as a proprietor of that wonderful trains door in lakewood, colorado known as kaboose And he was showing me something that I was unfamiliar with at the time now since talking to him I got the free download version of cad rail which is a layout planning software program for designing your layout But kevin's got years of experience in using it and that night I was hanging out with him He showed me sort of a little bit about it and how to get the free download for it So I turned on the video camera and with that let's let kevin rubel take it up from here and explain to us about drawing your layout on a computer What are you doing besides eating dinner here? What are you doing here? I see you got the laptop out.  This is a track plan doesn't look like it right now These are the this Is my bench work as it exists As you know, I'm redesigning my layout for the second time. I just made a crazy line um for the second time And so we're fitting a piece of the monon railroad southern division North of Louisville to know all of any important indiana Into this same bench work that I have designed Just seeing if it fits And what what program are you using there? This yes, I'm glad you asked This is cad rail cad rail. I've not used any other cad programs, but I can tell you this I've used cad rail for probably about 15 years and at least 15 years and When I was CEO at Marquette rail I used this to do preliminary drawings for sites For new customers for industrial development We'd sketch out their spurs with this with this program and then their engineers would take it and make final engineering That's how good this program is. You should try it. That's amazing Now, how do we get a program called cad rail to this to design our layouts? How do we how do we go about doing it? We go to sandiassoftware.com Okay, and we check it out. I think you know what do they offer a free version or something? Let's try that okay Because I am so used to using pencil and paper and you say that this is better than pencil and paper I think this is a website. Let's make sure it is Oops. No, Kevin has to spell it correctly Sandiassoftware.com Okay, so this is cad rail 10.2. Yep And uh, actually this does 3d stuff too. I've never done that um, but They have um here free demo like there free demo right here There you go. That's my answer You can only save up to 60 objects when you're drawing so you can't make a huge basement building layout With your free demo, but that's a pretty good deal free demo and then I'll tell you what let's see Trying to see here What kind of price point this software has I don't remember right off the top of my head Because I bought it again 15 years ago But it's um, it has a great library It has like a lot of the different walters buildings a lot of the different atlas buildings a micro-engineering track walters track atlas track pico track It has a lot of the different Things you can buy in different scales by the way In the library it's already in here. So you don't have to Do what I'm doing right now, which is to put these micro-engineering number five ladders in I'm actually Constructing figures For these for the switches for this ladder anyway Pretty pretty cool program check it out for this segment of what's neat I'm sitting here replacing some of the Metal screens that have actually popped off of my u-50s here because one day I was running my u-50s and I I left my lift out section out and dropped them on the floor and quickly they became kits So after I found out mechanically they worked perfect And I got them to run again I'm finally getting to the point where I'm actually putting in the screens And I want to talk about this for a minute because as I was doing this I realize that I've got a technique that may may be a little bit unorthodox, but it works very well because It's inevitable at some point You'll have an f-unit or you'll have some sort of a model where the screens are going to pop off of it And you want to reattach them back on so what do a lot of people do? I've seen this over and over again For example, here's an engine that came from a swap meet Where somebody tried to repair the locomotive by using wafer's goo and reapplying the screens to the locomotive And as you can see it kind of doesn't really work out so well I also see they tried super glue here on this end using one of these uh Super glues and as you can see on this end here It's inevitable.  Well, what I've realized is contact cement the same material that's used to apply The finish on top of tables to put laminate on top of the table is a relatively permanent cement And at the same time it always remains just a little flexible just a little not rubbery But always flexible which is perfect for the screens because as you know these metal screens They change temperature and they tend to pop off of a locomotive Especially if they're attached with super glue which tends to be a little brittle Here's an f unit that I just finished replacing the screen on this and I use contact cement to do it And I'm going to explain to you how to do this because a little bit goes a very long way When I glue down the rail to the layout here the third rail for my narrow gauge A lot of areas I kind of got lazy and didn't spike it but after two years it's still in place So the glue is very permanent. It works beautifully. Well, and especially on the rail again changing of temperature It's never popped off and that's why it's good for these screens So let me explain to you the process First of all, I take the glue and I put it out on this anvil that I've got here I use that as my surface my work surface for the glue and I use dental picks to apply the glue to the screen work And I spin the pick around and this glue is kind of stringy sometimes you can use that stringiness to your benefit It's almost like snapping a line on the computer whereas you can apply the string Right where you want the edge of the screen to have the glue attached to it But anyway, you work the glue onto the screen and then you put the screen into place And it just fits perfectly if you get a little bit on the edge. It's no big deal This glue rubs right off while it's still wet And if long as you don't get it inside any of the screen work, it works perfect It remains flexible and allows your screens on your locomotives to remain attached No matter what the temperature change that the model experiences So it's just a suggestion Something to think about if you're reattaching the screens to an old locomotive something you get from a swamp meet or something You dropped on the floor if you've got to do it Context and that appears to be the best type of glue to use just for this and that's this Building tip for models on what's neat All of the model railroad products seen in this episode of what's neat are available through caboose in lakewood, colorado Or order online at microose.com


We're checking out those new super fast SSDs right here. Hi. Hi, good morning. So please introduce yourself. Yes, my name is Fabio Cochella. I'm the Senior Product Marketing Manager from Western Digital. Hi everyone. And this right here that I'm testing out on, I'm trying to see if this is the smartest move for anyone who buys a MacBook M1, the M1 MacBook Pro or Air or Mini is that they can just buy the smallest internal SSD and then use a huge external SSD. And today you're announcing very high capacity, right? Correct, correct. So we just recently introduced basically this week at CES, the virtual CES. So the latest capacity addition. So essentially we are launching the four terabytes capacity size on all the SanDisk portable SSD and the WD portable SSDs. You actually have them right there, right? Yeah, precisely. So I can either show it to you here. This is the Xtreme Pro SanDisk Xtreme Pro portable SSD. Hope you can see it properly. So this one is the top of the line on the SanDisk side. So because it's featuring NVMe technology inside with a USB 3.2 generation 2x2. So this goes to four terabytes? No. It goes up to four terabytes. It's available in one, two, four terabytes. You have another camera so you can show. Absolutely. Yeah. So you can see basically all the lineup is here. These are the SanDisk ones. The little brother is the SanDisk Xtreme portable SSD and the SanDisk Xtreme Pro portable SSD. So with this one you go up to 1,050 megabyte per second in read and 1,000 megabyte per second in write. With this one you almost double speed with 2,000 megabyte per seconds in both write and read. And MyPassport SSD has also the same performance of the SanDisk Xtreme portable SSD with 1,050 megabyte per second. This was the predecessor of the MyPassport SSD. So this is going out essentially. I just put one USB flash drive just to make you understand better the size of the product as well. So they are really compact, durable design. As you can see the SanDisk ones pretty rugged design. They are IP55 certified. So for waterproof and dust-ready resistance. And you also have Thunderbolt 3 drive, right? With what's it called a G? Exactly. That's the G drive. Let me see if I can show you quickly. That's the G drive mobile Pro SSD. It's out in the market since a while. This is a Thunderbolt 3 device. As you can see you can reach up to 2,800 megabyte per seconds with a 40 gigabit per second interface. Does this one also go up to 4 terabytes? This goes up to 2 terabytes. So that's a lot of very fast storage. It requires your laptop. There's a few laptops now that have USB 3.2 Gen2 X2. Yeah, that's true. That's quite limited out in the market right now. But we see also from many manufacturers there's a trend of adoption rate and there are more and more product launching on this interface. We know that's a pretty high end type of product, which is required especially for creative professional enthusiasts. But it's something that we can trust the market is going there as well. So the mainstream NVMe SSD is mainly nowadays covered by this extreme type of product as well as the MyPassport SSD. Nice. And actually I have right here on my M1 MacBook Air doing a speed test on here. So that means that the M1 MacBook Air is just able to do, if you can see 800, so kind of like a thousand. But that's because this one, they haven't enabled the Gen2 X2, right? It's not backward compatible in this case. So you are reaching up to 10 gigabit per second performance. So you're not benefiting the full 20 gigabit per second in this case. But my use case is actually to edit videos. And I'm trying to figure out in these days, I'm trying to do the tests in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve, which is the free app that everybody can use, to try to see if actually to edit 4K 60 videos using the external SSD, maybe it performs just as good, or maybe even better than doing everything in internal. Do you think there's something to that even with not having the full 20 gigabit, but just 10 gigabit? No, I think this would be pretty satisfied with the same level of performance. If you really want to stress the product in one extreme performance, then you still have an option on G-Technology brand with the G-Drive Mobile Pro SSD, which is really targeting the videographer and cinema type of audience. It's a little bit more expensive to have a Thunderbolt 3 drive, right? Yeah, absolutely, because obviously there's some costing side and so on. But maybe for people who use the MacBook M1, they are fine with the Extreme Drive. They don't need the Extreme Pro, maybe, or they can have the previous Extreme Pro, right? The one that just got 1,050 megabyte per second, that should be all covered right there. Yeah, actually not the previous, but it's the one that we just introduced recently at the end of last year. So we speed bump all the range from the previous generation, and we introduce NVMe technology across the entire range, essentially. So now we have 1,000 megabyte per second, also on the Extreme and 2,000 on the Extreme Pro. So definitely you will benefit a lot from that performance level. Because the thing that I'm thinking is that, for example, a MacBook M1 is able to run the software, just the video editor app on the internal SSD, just the app, but it might really benefit from doing some of the files from the external and maybe saving the file on internal or maybe saving it back on the external. And actually, that's the best way. People can get 2 terabyte, even 4 terabyte, much cheaper than what they would pay to Apple if they had to upgrade this internally. Exactly. And then normally you have quite limited space in the internal memory. So that's why you need to attach for sure some external storage to it. So these are available now 4 terabyte. How soon can people buy them and what kind of price? Can you show the other camera again? Yeah. So the 4 terabyte, we just launched at CES in terms of availability will be on the late February. So it's coming up shortly in the channel. Hopefully the price is, of course, is more than a 4 terabyte external hard drive. Absolutely, of course. So 4 terabyte, the price range, it's in the range of $750, street price. So if we're talking about euros, we are in the range of 800 euros for the specific EMEA markets. I think that's pretty much kind of like the pricing that maybe Apple would charge for just 2 terabytes internal. So you can have double the storage and then you have the benefit of having it portable and being able to use it on different devices if you have different devices at home and also put in the pockets and not have to bring your whole MacBook to, if you're afraid, people might lose your data or something. Exactly. So you notice that we have many different brands, different products and different solutions and the consumer normally would probably have a question, a natural question, which is which product should I buy, which product should I go for? So all our products are tailored for specific audiences, but obviously any type of consumer can decide whether to take one or the other. So essentially my passport SSD is for the everyday consumer, the everyday backup for productivity mainly. Well, at the same time on Sunday side, we normally tends to be the brand which is more recognized from photographers and professional photographers. So it's a type of product that's perfect fit for the consumer that's constantly on the go. So do you have also some more data you can show or some, can you show how does look inside the drive? Like there's a special consideration in terms of heat generation, heat dissipation. So you don't need to straddle it too much? Yeah, this is what we were just mentioning earlier. So it's a kind of nice animation where you can see essentially the exploded version of the product, how it looks like. So there's a little red line that you see on the edge of the product. Essentially it's the aluminum forged chassis. It's not just a design element, but it's also a functional element, an essential element that helps to dissipate the heat away from the drive when you're using intensively the drive and operating on it, and it enables the user to benefit from sustained ride and rate speeds in the long term. And at the same time, you can appreciate from this chart the IP555 rating from dust and water, the NVME SSD inside, which is built in-house essentially, and the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C interface. Can you zoom in a little bit so we can see the this NVME SSD looks really interesting. How does it work? Like is it just this little part is where all the storage is? Exactly. So now finally, we can benefit of internally developed NVME SSD. So we are fully integrated and we're really proud of it. So this is all the area where aside your data in a full secure way also, because we introduced also the hardware encryption with these new products. You have up to 256-bit AES encryption. So it's really, really secure. What's the electronics happening on top there? Is that the thing that does the whole USB 3.2 Gen2x2? Correct. So I guess it's a pretty good chipset that does the whole device part of the product here, right? Yeah. So this is what I was trying to introduce earlier as well in terms of portable SSD portfolio overall from Western Digital with all the brands. So we are trying to satisfy the needs from the customers in each of the single type of use case. So at the same time, we are starting from the main pain points of the customer, which are normally limited capacity, the slow transfer speed, the data and the security, and also the constant access and the reliability from the brand that we are bringing out in the market. So they can fully trust on us. So we have solutions for gamers, as you can see, everyday users, content creators, and professionals. How does that translate into the single specific brands? Essentially, WD is the brand that is normally fully trusted for the everyday creator, for the productivity, for the standard type of backup features. Then Sandisk on the other side, it's for mobility and durability. As we mentioned many times, also the IP 55 rating. WD Black is the brand that we launched in the last 12 to 18 months. So now we are very recognized in this specific segment for gamers. So there's a number of solutions, both internal SSD and external SSD and an HDD that are purpose built for gamers in order to support them with their constant challenges. And then lastly, but not least, G-Technology, which is the professional brand for the videographers, for workflow, for the top performance out there. So and this is what we just mentioned earlier in terms of launch of the highest capacity out there with the 4TB across all the brands. So you can really count on capacity, performance and reliability at the same time combined. Nice. 4TB is a nice number. It's actually huge. You can click on hide, not the step yet. Oh, you can stop it also, yeah. So it's just a question of hopefully that the quantities can go up and the reliability of the yields and everything. And be nice if these drives become affordable even at 4TB, right? The question is that people should just, it should be a no brainer, just get the cheapest MacBook, I'm joking, but why not, but then and just get a huge external drive. Probably 4TB is still a kind of capacity that is required on SSD side that is required for a specific type of consumer, especially business professional or creative professional. Normally, we see that the capacities are trending up and up from month to month. So now we are moving in between from 1TB and 2TB are the most sold capacities. And up to 12 months ago, we were still with the 500 gigabytes. So that's also thanks for the price that is going down a little bit. So the consumer are more and more shifting from HD view to SSD, but HDD drive are still required for high capacity and cold type of storage rather than hot storage. And here you there's this is the video on the WD Black. So this one goes to 4TB also. Yeah, this goes to 4TB as well. It's sharing the same USB technology as the Sundis Xtreme Pro SSD. So it's USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 essentially. So you have the 2000 megabyte per second performance. So we developed this drive specifically for gamers in order to allow them not to be limited for the space they have in their own internal drives or their desktop gaming machine or notebook game machine. So and at the same time bringing the portability elements with them so they can bring the games, the game library everywhere with them and at the same time they can also save their streaming live streaming game live streaming videos on the drive and edit while on the go. Does WD Black perform exactly the same like the Xtreme Pro 2000? So they're both in 2000. Yeah, 2000 both right and right. The same because it looks really cool that WD Black. So people are welcome to just use WD Black to do the more creative stuff. And gamers can also use the other one. Yeah, because gamers, as I just said, gamers tend to be also creative professionals and edit a lot of videos nowadays. So you can either choose one or the other. In terms of heat sink dissipation elements, you don't have the red thing that obviously that you noticed on the Xtreme Pro, but here you have four holes down in the backside in the low side of the product that are used for heat dissipation. And then at the same time you have the metal design that also helps at the same time to dissipate and maintaining sustained speeds. Nice. So this is pretty much a whole range of USB 3.2 Gen2 X2 drive except the Thunderbolt 3G over there. I guess maybe in the future everything is going to be used before, right, in the future maybe. Yeah, that's the trend in one to two years. So nowadays we see that the market is still focused and concentrated on USB 3.2 Gen2 as well as the Gen2 X2. All right. Because when you get to that, then you need to make drives that can go to 40 gigabit, I guess. 40 gigabit, exactly. It's going to be even faster than 2800, no? It's going to be, or I'm not sure, maybe it is 2800. I think it might be even faster, right? 40 gigabit depends. I was trying to interview the USB forum and they say it's a lot to do with the, every laptop manufacturer can decide if they want to do 10 or 20 gigabit or more. Yeah, that's very much abandoned on the host device in the end. So, but our G-Drive Mobile Pro SSD as we were saying, so we are already there with the Thunderbolt 3 interface with 2800 megabyte per second. So we are already there with a 40 gigabit per second performance. I think this drive will actually go to full 2800 or something like that on the MacBook M1 range, I would guess, because they do support the full Thunderbolt 3, I guess. But that's something maybe people can search on YouTube. There might be some people testing this out. I know you are curious to test this one as well. Yeah, but of course, Western Digital is also famous for hard drives. So people can just have also a bunch of external hard drives for like more like archiving, right? And then the SSD is for the work. Yeah, precisely. So SSD is for hot storage when you need to work really on the data and access in a very speed and timely manner. And then otherwise, I also have here my own, my book, Duo 36TB, essentially, where I store everything, all the picture library, all the data there, and save it there for years, essentially. And a few years ago, people were a little bit worried about the life of SSDs, but these are probably going to last pretty much as long as people want to use the device, no? The 10 years or? Yeah, nowadays, we are pretty much in the at the same reliability level, probably even more. That's really in the end depends how much you're writing a terabyte every day, gigabyte or even terabyte per every day. The warranty is going to be very long? The warranty on all these devices that you just saw is five years. That's pretty long. So I guess I would recommend everybody just back up everything on the cloud also. There's more and more archive cloud storage systems, like for more than a year, Amazon has been doing one terabyte for $1 per month on the, they call it, deep archive. And I think Google is doing something also, Google Drive has some unlimited stuff. On the consumer side, at the same time, we also have our own solutions, both for consumer and also for professional, which is the MyCloud family, essentially. So we have a couple of consumer solutions, which are the MyCloud Home and MyCloud Home Duo with the RAID feature. So those are really for the user that are not looking for a complication. They want the easiest setup possible. So those are not really marketed as NAS, but those are marketed as personal cloud. They are private at your home, not in a cloud, whatever in a public cloud. So they are safe at home in your house and you can access the data anywhere where you are. And then we have the MyCloud Pro Expert series and the Pro series, which are more for professional, for small businesses. And those are adding more features in terms of packs, in terms of DRAM included, in terms of chipset, and also in terms of application that you can install on the NAS themselves. But when you talk about the MyCloud, it's basically coast your own cloud at home, right? There's like a little NAS at home. And there's been some updates on this a little bit. Maybe performance has been improving and stuff. Yeah. We recently added an update on the Expert series and the Pro series. We updated the Femur essentially with the new OS 5, where you have more functionality. And also you have a very useful application that you can navigate and use the entire functionality of your NAS directly from your smartphone essentially. And then on the consumer side on MyCloud Home and MyCloud Home Duo, we also included more features from time to time from the beginning of last year. And we have kind of same level of experience that we have also in the E-X series. What I think would be nice is when people buy one of these MyCloud devices that you have some kind of service that you can actually back it up on the cloud. So for the whole life of the device or something, I don't know, 10 years of cloud backup as long as you, I don't know, have it connected or something.  Then you need to have two MyClouds, one of your mother's home or something at the same time, backup by yourself in two different places. I think it'd be nice to have a cloud thing, but I guess you don't sell actual cloud service storage, right? You just sell to the cloud providers and there's more and more. And hopefully 2021 is going to be amazing with new cloud service. It's always hard to find unlimited cloud storage that's officially unlimited because it's really hard. Some people use too much, but maybe very affordable. We tend not to be closed in terms of system because with the application that we are offering with MyCloud Home Application, you can actually access also all the other public clouds and you can sync with the public clouds, transfer in both simultaneous way from the public cloud to your personal cloud at home and vice versa. So we are pretty open and allowing the consumer to be pretty flexible in that. I think one of the little challenges that I would have is sometimes, especially when there's no travel restrictions and I travel different places. For example, when I go to Las Vegas, I never find bandwidth. It's really hard to upload my data and it'd be nice if there was a map or some kind of thing. Maybe Western Digital could work with Google or do a layer in Google Maps somehow. And then you could find in any city a place to upload with full gigabit or 10 gigabit or something. You could plug in your SSD in like for 10 minutes and transfer a few terabytes over and then it will just back it up for you. That would be awesome. But also, I think the 5G going forward might partially solve this problem, right? Yeah. If the 5G is a real and not shared between thousands of people in each hotspot or something, I'm not totally sure how it works. But hopefully, it sounds like crazy fast bandwidth. So that's going to be great. So then you can just add a SIM card to your SSD and upload directly, right? Cool. Thanks a lot. Thanks for showing these new 4TB drives and very fast. Thanks to you for having me. Thanks.


Hi friends, welcome back to my channel, and welcome back to another episode of the WW air fryer recipe series. I cannot wait to share these two recipes with you guys. They are so incredibly good and super easy. You're going to feel like you're indulging, but they are absolutely positively WW friendly. So if you have an air fryer and you need some recipes or some tips and tricks how to use it, this is the video for you. If you don't have an air fryer and you're on the fence in purchasing one, again, this is the video for you. So if you want to see what two recipes in the air fryer, WW friendly that I have in store for you, then all you have to do is keep watching. For tonight's air fryer recipe, we are going to make WW friendly Hawaiian empanadas. I am super excited for this dinner. I'm going to pair this with a vegetable. So let me show you what I'm putting in my Hawaiian style empanadas.  We are making two ingredient dough. So these two ingredients here mix together, make amazing dough. I really prefer the thigh yogurt. I feel that it's thicker, less watery, so your dough comes out less sticky. You're also going to need some pineapple tidbits. I'm going to be using Dax Italian Blast. I love Dax spices, no salt, but packed with flavor. I love the Italian Blast and any type of pizza, calzone, that type of a dish. So I thought that it would pair really nicely in Hawaiian empanadas. If you're interested in purchasing Dax seasonings, you can go on to their website. Use my discount code down in the description box below. Save yourself 10% and get free shipping. So if you're watching your salt or if it's the day before weigh in like it is for me, salt free seasoning that is packed with flavor is the way to go. So Dax Italian Blast, you're also going to need some diced ham, some light mozzarella. I'm going to use the Trader Joe's and an egg for an egg wash. So let's get started on our air fryer Hawaiian style empanadas. So the first thing that we need to do is make our two ingredient dough. So what I have here is one cup of self-rising flour. To that I'm going to go ahead and add in my Dax Italian Blast. Now this seasoning does have a little bit of a kick, so I am going to go kind of light on it. We're kind of spice-wussies. And then I'm also going to add in my non-fat Greek yogurt. Now I do not measure my Greek yogurt because I just add it until my dough is the consistency that I want it to be. So I don't want my dough to be too sticky. So I don't want to overdo the non-fat Greek yogurt. So what you're going to do is you're just going to mix this together until your flour and your yogurt is nice and combined. It is going to be a dough. So it's going to be chunky. It is going to have chunks of dough in it and that is just fine. You just want to make sure that your flour gets nice and incorporated. So we're going to mix our dough together until we have perfectly formed two ingredient dough.  I did buy this roller off of Amazon. I do have this link down in my description box in my Amazon store. I want to say it was $6. I struggle with the big rollers with two ingredient dough.  So I'm going to use the larger end and I'm just going to roll this out until I have a nice big sheet of dough. I probably will grab some non-stick cooking spray. You can always spray your roller with that if you feel like your dough is really, really sticky. Once I get it somewhat rolled out, I generally will transfer it directly to a piece of parchment paper. That also allows me not to have it stick to my counter. So I'm going to get this rolled out into a nice big thinner sheet because I'm going to cut it into four equal sections for my empanadas. Once you get your four pieces rolled out nice and flat, we're going to be adding in our empanada ingredient. So what I have here is I want to have it measured out one ounce of the Trader Joe's light shredded mozzarella. So I'm going to add that just kind of to the center of my empanada. I also want to have it measured out one ounce of the diced ham. That is only one point. So I'm also going to add that to the center of my empanada. And lastly, I'm going to be adding in some pineapple. So I'm just going to take a spoon here. I did already kind of drain it and I'm just going to add a few pieces of pineapple directly also to the center of my empanada. Super easy, you guys. We're just basically going to fold this over and we want to just close it up. It does not have to be pretty. We just want to basically make sure that our ingredients in the middle stay in the middle. So that's pretty much it. And then we are going to go ahead and add this directly right here to my air fryer tray. Now, if you have the basket air fryer, you can go ahead and add your empanada directly into the basket of your air fryer. But that's it, you guys. Super easy. Look at how yummy that looks. So I'm going to add that to my tray, do my other empanadas here, and then we'll be ready to add an egg wash and get these into the air fryer. Once you have your empanadas all nice and folded up, you're going to go ahead and take one of your eggs kind of gently mix it together. And then you're just going to apply a nice coat of egg wash over all four of your empanadas. That way they will get nice and golden brown in the air fryer. So you want to make sure you get a nice solid egg wash on all four of your empanadas. All right. Next up, we're going to get our empanadas into the air fryer. So here they are. Nice and egg wash. They look so good. I'm going to put them here on about the second shelf of my air fryer. Again, I do have the power of an elite, which is the oven style of air fryer, not the basket. So I'm going to go ahead and pop those in there.  We want this at 375 and I'm going to go ahead and start at 10 minutes and I'll just kind of keep my eye on them, make sure that they don't get overdone. I want them crispy. I do not want them doughy. My air fryer also has a light here so I can easily keep my eye on how my empanadas are cooking. And while these are cooking, I'm going to get some frozen veggies in the microwave. I just pulled the Hawaiian empanadas out of the air fryer. Look at how delicious these look. Nice and golden brown. I made sure that the dough was all cooked. This is going to be absolutely delicious. So I'm going to let these cool while my veggies continue cooking in the microwave and then I'll plate up my dinner and I'll give you the smart point. So this is tonight's dinner. I have one serving of California blend veggies. All I did is spray that with a little bit of, I can't believe it's not butter spray, salt and pepper. Here I decided to go ahead and add a little bit of pizza sauce to a bowl. I warmed that up in case I decide that I want to dip my empanada in some pizza sauce and then here is my empanada. Look at how cheesy and delicious that looks. So it is three points for the dough, one for the ham, one for the cheese. So my empanada is a total of five smart points. If I eat a quarter of a cup of the pizza sauce, which most likely I will not, that would be an additional point. So I'm going to count my dinner as five smart points. Yum. For tonight's air fryer recipe, I'm going to be making air fryer cojina. Thank you to those of you that told me how to pronounce it. Now I hope that I pronounced it right, but let me show you what is in tonight's dinner. I'm going to pair this with some rice and some veggies. So first you're going to need some oil. I'm going to go ahead and just use olive oil. You're also going to need flour, chicken broth or chicken stock, fat-free half and half, breadcrumbs, light shredded cheese, eggs, chicken or whatever meat you'd like to use, one carrot, minced onion and minced garlic, or you can cut up a fresh onion and fresh garlic and of course some salt and pepper. So let's get started on tonight's dinner. So the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to go ahead get some water boiling and we are going to actually boil our chicken. That's going to be the fastest, easiest way to get it cooked and shredded. While our chicken is boiling, we're going to get the rest of our meal put together. Once you get your chicken boiled and shredded or cubed however you want to dice it, go ahead and put it into a bowl. To our chicken, we are going to go ahead and add in our minced garlic. I am going to do a tablespoon of garlic and I'm also going to do a tablespoon of the minced onion. It just says one each so I'm not sure what that means in the recipe.  So I'm going to go ahead and add those and then I'm also going to add in some salt and it doesn't say it just says to taste. So I'm going to go ahead and add in just a little bit of salt. Same goes with some pepper. Go ahead and add in some pepper and then we're going to go ahead and add in one tablespoon of our fat free half and half. So I'll go ahead and add in that and then lastly we're going to go ahead and add in two tablespoons of our cheese. So we're going to go two tablespoons worth of cheese and then we are going to take a spoon and give this a nice big stir together and we're going to set this aside while we create the dough for our cojinas but this is essentially going to be the filling. For the dough for our cojina I'm going to went ahead and added one cup of flour to my bowl. I'm going to go ahead and add a little bit of salt as well and this is going to be the dough and then I'm also going to add in one tablespoon of olive oil and then we're going to give this a quick stir together and this is going to be the dough. So next we got to go ahead and fill our dough with all of our delicious ingredients and then we'll dredge it in some egg and some breadcrumbs. You guys this is going to be so delicious and then this is what is going to go into the air fryer. Once you stir together your flour and your oil. I forgot this part sorry. We're going to go ahead and add in some chicken stock and we're just going to go ahead and add enough to get stiff dough. So we don't want it too runny of a dough. We wanted a nice stiff pliable dough so it's going to be somewhat similar to if we were to be making two ingredient dough. So we're just going to keep adding chicken stock until we have that nice dough and this looks pretty darn good. Give that a good mix and then we are ready to set it aside before we add in all of our filling. Once you get it into a nice ball of dough go ahead and use your roller. This is the roller that I purchased off of Amazon. It is linked down in my amazon store. I love it. It's small. It's easily usable with two ingredient dough in smaller amounts of dough. I want to say it's about six dollars. So it is linked down in my amazon store. So we're going to go ahead and roll this out and then we are going to cut this into circle shapes and that's what's going to make our kojima. So I'm going to get this rolled out fairly thin. We don't want it to be too thick and then we'll be ready to punch in some holes and then fill it with deliciousness. Once you get your dough rolled out as thin as you would like go ahead and take something round. I'm going to go ahead and use a cup here and we're just going to cut this into round circles. You may have to roll out your dough again to use the remaining of it but go ahead and just get them nice and cut into round circles and then I will have to re-roll out my dough most likely to use all of it but go ahead and get as many out of your sheet as you can and then we're just going to repeat that process until we have enough for all of our food. This looks awesome. So there are your circles and then this is what we are going to fill with that delicious chicken mixture. Once you get your circles punched out it looks like I got two for six, eight, nine of them.  We're going to go ahead and add that to the middle. Now we're probably going to have quite a bit of extra filling because these are not very big circles and then you want to take this and pull this up and essentially you're going to be forming a dumpling around your filling. So my thought is whatever filling you have left you can either make more dough or you can set that filling aside and just use it for another recipe or maybe put it into a tortilla or something like that so that you can use up the rest of it. But basically we're going to go ahead and create a dumpling, go ahead and spin the top closed. Look at how good that looks. So I'm going to get these all nice and filled up and then we're going to roll them in some breadcrumbs. Once you get your kojina all nice and rolled into a dumpling, look at how good that looks you guys. We are going to take this and we are going to dredge it in some egg and then we are going to dredge it in some breadcrumbs and we just want to get it nice and coated. So this is what the finished product will look like and then we're just going to put this into our air fryer basket or in my case onto my greased air fryer sheet. So I'm going to complete the rest of these and then we'll be ready to put these into the air fryer. So the last step before these go into the air fryer, look yum, is we are going to take some non-stick cooking spray and we're just going to spray each of our little kojinas just so that they get nice and crispy and brown up really good in the air fryer. Now we are ready to get these cooking. All right, we're ready to get our kojina into the air fryer. So this is the finished product sprayed with the little bit of oil. So my air fryer of course is the oven style. So I'm going to go ahead and put it here on the second shelf. I'm going to do it at 400 for about 15 minutes and we'll see if that gets it nice and cooked through. You can always turn the light on here and kind of keep an eye on what you've got cooking in your air fryer, but I will be back in 15 minutes. All right guys, I just pulled these out of the air fryer. Look at how yummy these look. So I'm going to let these cool for just a few minutes. I have my rice and veggies cooking. I'll plate up my dinner and give you the smart points. So here's my completed dinner. So there are two of my kojinas. Each one is a total of two smart points. So that is four points. I have some corn with a little bit of spray butter, salt and pepper for zero. And then I have half of a cup of that wild rice, which is three smart points, a Coke zero. So this is three for the rice, four for the kojina. This is a total of seven smart points. Look at how delicious this dinner looks. Thank you for joining me on another episode of the WW air fryer series.  They were so good. My husband loved both of them. They are family friendly. They're pretty darn easy and they turn out like the fried delicious indulgent food, but is WW friendly. So if you're new to my channel, I would love it if you'd hit that little subscribe button. Also hit yourself that notification bell. That way you're notified each and every time I upload a new video. I'd love it if you would give this video a thumbs up. Comment down below. Let me know. Are you going to try these two recipes because I promise you won't be sorry. And I'll see all of you guys in my next video. Bye guys.


So I'm Cheryl Chamberlain, Vice President Capgemini, and I am a CUBE alumni. Live from Santa Clara, California. Extracting the signal from the noise. It's theCUBE, covering Nextwork 2015. Brought to you by Juniper Networks. Now your host, John Furrier and Stu Miniman. Okay, welcome back, everyone. We are here live in Santa Clara in the shadows of Levi Stadium at Santa Clara Marriott for a special CUBE presentation of Juniper's Nextwork. It's a customer summit, their first summit. It's theCUBE. We go out to the events and extract the signal noise. I'm proud to be here with my co-student Miniman with wikibon.com as the analyst for infrastructure, networks, cloud, enterprise. And our next guest is Gideh Akintola, who's a Juniper ambassador, but he's with TMX Atrium, head of network engineering design. Welcome to theCUBE. Really appreciate that. Thanks for coming on. Thank you, John. So you are on the cutting edge of real-time. That is correct. Talk a little about what you guys do at TMX and how that fits into real-time trading information. Certainly data in motion is happening in your world. Share what you work on in the company and specifically your job. Okay, fantastic. Thanks a lot, Gideh Akintola, head of engineering, same exception. We actually subsidiary of Toronto Stock Exchange and we provide low latency connectivity for customers across the globe to most of the major stock exchanges, NISD, NASDAQ, CME, London Stock Exchange. And effectively, we're a transport provider, meaning just providing that connectivity for customers from their co-location or offices to the stock exchange and making sure that the market data we're calling back to the customer are delivered on time. And when I say on time, we're talking about micro nanoseconds as well as delivered intact reliably without any packet loss or effectively. Are these direct connections? So, COLO to exchange, or are they all direct connections? Yep, so we've got direct connectivity as an extranet provider to the exchange. So, I have a direct connectivity to NASDAQ, for instance, or NASI, Stock Exchange, and customer looking to get those market data connected to me. It could be at the same location or it could be elsewhere. I've got a backbone that's spanned the entire North America and Europe, so. It's like we live in an era of so much change and I'm old enough to now tell my kids, I remember before there was cell phones and then there were pagers. I remember when there was 15 minute delays on stock quotes which back seems like decades ago but that was only like 10 years ago. It's real time now. So, I want you to talk more about that nanosecond. Really, that is the threshold of pain you have. Talk about that latency challenge. What is the exact number again? And what has been the progression of a second, have a second and then take us through it. So, what's the number today and how fast has it shifted? Trading information is arbitraging all over the place. Exactly. People are concerned. You know, we started from seconds to milli, now we're talking nanoseconds. We do actually have an ultra low latency microwave infrastructure company actually called Strike Technologies which is also a subsidiary of Toronto Stock Exchange and it's all about giving customer choices now. So, depending on what latency you're looking for, we can give it to you. If you want the ultra low latency in milli seconds, nanoseconds, effectively nanoseconds great, we've got the microwave options and if you're looking at the micro, between micro and milli, we've got the fiber options. So, it depends on which, what the customers are looking for and it's all about giving customer choices at the end of the day. So, Jita, can you talk a little bit about how you got involved in the Juniper Ambassador program? You know, I love coming to events like this because you've got people that are building stuff and they're really excited. I mean, I was checking out your Twitter stream and there's people, the new MX chips have got me super excited. They're hashtagging, I love Trio.  You know, what led you down this path and how do you benefit from it? Okay, fantastic. Thanks a lot, Stu. Being an ambassador is actually, to me personally, I think it's a privilege and an opportunity to work with people of like-minded that are actually passionate and committed to helping one another and the general public as a whole. I used to work for Juniper Networks.  Like I said, it's a massive honor and privilege.  That's pretty much what we do. And I can't thank Juniper enough, you know, so you sat on both sides of the table when it comes to Juniper, can you talk a little bit about kind of the back and forth you have, you know, you have your customers.   So, you know, what kind of dialogue do you have? How's Juniper listening?  Thank you. It is actually fascinating because being on the inside and now on the outside, I'm able to provide an unbiased feedback to Juniper and the ambassador platform, you know, gives the platform effectively to be able to provide those feedback and Juniper does listen, you know? It's a two-way thing, you know? The dialogue is two-way between myself, you know. On the outside, you know, you can, effectively, I'm not bound by internet bureaucracies, ACU, effectively provided and unbiased feedback to Juniper and that's effectively what I'm doing. Gide, share with us a day in the life of your world and how that's changed over the years. Network engineering, I mean, those guys were the elite back in the old days. They ran the networks. We heard, you know, Jonathan from Juniper say, Wi-Fi is the number one thing people's Maslow's hierarchy of needs these days. Certainly the network is critical and it's always been the elite people but now you've seen the roles change. It's a lot more DevOps, you got critical infrastructure, you have real-time trading in your case. What is your, what do you use your day to day? Give us a share, some of the cutting-edge things that you're working on. You don't have to reveal any confidential information but, like, what are some of the things that are really core to your job right now? Uh, core to my job, I will say, if I've got to pick, it's got to be automation. Automation in the sense that, you know, within the industry, you know, we're working, you know, sometimes it could take, you know, weeks or month to deliver a service to customer and those customers, you know, looking to trade any days without a service, you know, that waiting is actually costing them a lot of money. So being able to, you know, automate- Is it the provisioning, the deployment, the execution? Exactly, exactly, you know. From a single plane, you know, it's crucial and critical to what I do. So my focus is on predominantly automation, automation of service delivery, automation of provisioning, automation of end-to-end, you know. So what do you think about the new 5,200 switches that they announced? Did you get a peek at them early? Just a first look at them. What's your take on the 5,200s? I believe it's an amazing product. The, you know, the aggregation, which I'm actually, you know, really passionate and fascinated with, I think it's a game changer. If you look back, you know, to 1996, when Juniper started with the separation of forwarding and control plane and fast-tracked that to, you know, eight, 10 years when other competitors started doing the same thing. And now we're talking about Juno's aggregation, you know. It's, Juniper is always at the forefront of technology. They make bold moves. They exactly. They do, don't they? And it's one of the reasons, you know, I love Juniper and I'm passionate about Juniper's products. The products. The disaggregation of Juno's is like bringing candy into the kids on Halloween. It's like, ah! Exactly, and then do whatever you want to do with it, you know, it's giving people, you know, the opportunity to, you know, take it to the next level effectively. I've always loved Juno's. I think they were holding that back. I mean, not because they weren't ready. I think SDN kind of just dropped and kind of hyped up the market. I mean, Stu, how long ago was Nacir as funding? I mean, then they got sold to VMware. The SDN really sucked the oxygen out of the room and Juno's is now being disaggregated. How do you reconcile that as a network engineer, the SDN trend and the Juno's thing? I think it's actually complimentary. SDN, at the end of the day, it is the way forward, actually, yeah. So there's no two way about it. SDN is the way forward.  So you can effectively, you know, map out an end-to-end path with Junipa's North Star product, for instance. It is an amazing product set for an extra-net provider to all, just any company, as a matter of fact, to actually have because, you know, it allows you to orchestrate your network effectively. Reconciling SDN and the Juno's disaggregation.  It energizes the developers. And the network developers are like more engaged. I got to ask you a final question on the event here. For the folks that are not here, you're an ambassador, you used to sharing data and insight to share folks watching that aren't here at the Juniper Customer Summit 2015. What's it like here? What's going on here? What are they sharing? Give us some color to the event here. The event has been amazing.  The keynote from Rami was spot on, you know, very encompassing, you know. Jonathan, you know, he did an amazing speech as well. So for people watching, I believe it's been an amazing experience for me. It's been great networking, too. Be an access executives.

tutorial for these, especially now when the end of the school year is coming, I hope for those who have children at school will be cute this tea bag holder or it can be for any kind of sweets with magnetic mini pocket and this is also magnetic, so maybe something like this you can do it even like a grungy style and it's like a backpack and it's from one sheet and you don't have so many of cats and I hope I made it easy way and also this small thingy which is kind of like a wallet with the gift back or gift box, so you can make it also in different styles, depends on the paper you will

these american book plates and this I actually forgot to share with my patreons last week so these there are also and I think I used both of them there are also library pockets and library cards in that collection then I shared with my patreon this small collection of orchid note note cards they are if you look at between so you will have so many small note cards and I have used them in this journal as additional cards in pockets or also as additional pockets in my journal like this and here are these so that was another thing what I shared and also two sheets with those beautiful ladies in this journal and also tutorial for this journal this is actually altered book which was kind of like second choice of the poll I shared with my patreons few weeks ago first was lab book and with that lab book I'm struggling a little bit so I moved to the second choice so this is altered book the tutorial I shared today my dear patreon so jump in hopefully you will enjoy it that's sharing for my patreons and now for all you guys I really hope you will like these two tutorials I'm gonna share today one will be for these mini wallets wallet wallet wallet mini wallet both the gift box and the wallet itself it's made from one sheet 12 by 12 and what I showed you before it does have one two three four pockets for credit cards and one larger pocket for bank notes and you can decorate the top with some sticker or something and then these cute school bags the backpacks and it's also made from one sheet 12 by 12 full backpack including small note card inside and there is a lot of space for tea or for some treats and there is also small pocket here maybe for some small small note and both these flaps are magnetic so those tutorials are coming now I hope you will enjoy it so for this cute little pocket pocket wallet I tried few different types of papers here it's kind of like canvas paper which is mixed with fabric and it's brilliant for this for this project and you don't have to use so many embellishments and you have nice and strong wallet for your cards and for money including gift box then I tried Tim Holtz papers which are wonderful for any kind of you know project also for this a little bit dimensional I also added some sewing and make sure I will know where it's the top of that wallet I added one sticker here and again we do have nice pocket wallet this could be you know more masculine project and here I tried very light paper and because it was very light I backed it with I glued it to cheesecloth the cheesecloth like this and then I worked with that paper which was already glued on that cheesecloth that way I know that the wallet even it's not with those sharp edges you know sharp sharp corners that wallet will be very stable because it's you know half paper half fabric so and we do have again all kind of pockets for cards for where you are for cards and for money and again because I wanted to know where is actually front of my my wallet I added here that butterfly it's like this and we do have kind of like pocket not box but more like pocket and this time I'm gonna try this perilous sandpaper it's nice grammage it's from the first edition collection this is collet sweet nothings and this is brilliant paper I've got it in my stuff for years so I'm guessing it's time to use it so to create wallet and the gift gift box first what you need to do I'm starting with that 12 by 12 paper and I want to have as my front paper I mean this one not what will be inside but what I will have on the top I wanted to have this pattern first I need to cut my paper on seven inches keep this on the side and now we're gonna score so first scoring lines will be on these long sides and it will be one inch three and three eighths three and a half and three and five eighths and then pardon me last score line will be six inches then flip your paper with that long side on the top and we're gonna score three and a half seven seven and one eighth seven and one quarter ten and three quarter so one more time three and a half seven seven seven and one eighth seven and one quarter and then ten and three quarters ten and three quarters that's all your score line now you're gonna take your scissors and we're gonna cut I'm always starting with those small corners here where are those three three lines in the or scoring system so you do have one big panel and then that small panel so I'm always starting here cutting off these two corners and you can cut them a little bit in angle not exactly how your score lines going going but a little bit in angle to those score lines then every parts around score lines you're gonna cut in angle here I will flip it this way so you can see how actually my score lines and I can see that how my score lines are going so around those score lines make angle cuts here as well I hope you can see and here so here I do have those three lines so this end I'm gonna fold inside burnish and I'm gonna take a glue and glue it down it will be like a reinforcing part for our pocket I'm just gonna take a glue and glue it down now those last parts do exactly same like with this one fold it now come on fold it add there a glue and glued them to this to that base so add there glue and glue it down now fold your paper paper in the middle it's that middle line in those three just fold it there and you should have your paper on the half and you need to cut kind of like entry here so you can take a scissors and with scissors cut some you know some some kind of shape or if you would like to use your paper punch I'm gonna use this envelope punch board and I'm gonna slide I think I'm gonna flip it this way so you can see where score lines are going so here I do have score line and I'm gonna slide it a little bit like on the edge of this entry here and punch like this and same I'm gonna do with that opposite side I'm gonna keep this like first from this point first score line again on the edge here of this entry so on this edge and I'm gonna take a knife and ruler and cut this part between but as I said you can use scissors and just with scissors cut some kind of entry so you will have something like this I'm gonna flip it this way if you would like to if you are using some different paper and you would like to use a distress ink in this window do it now it's much much better to do it now so we we will have some piece like this keep this one fold it on half so you will have prepared your decorative strip I think I will use that other perilous one that opposite side now take your off cut and cut the strip three and three eight and here four and three quarter it's just small strip four and three quarter just really small strip grab your piece back flip it this way where you will see what is what is inside not your decorative paper but what is inside grab this one and here it depends what you would like to see I think I would like to see that white one because if I will place that this one it will be I'm not sure it will be kind of you know kind of like confusing so I would like to see that white paper here once I will have there my pocket so I'm gonna keep it this way over my window inside I'm gonna take a glue and put a glue on these two flaps and glue it over yeah come in in the middle fold it and fold this and let it dry if you would like to use your sewing machine and do sewing effect on your wallet like I did here do it right now it's much more easy to do it right now take your piece and do sewing effect just all around just simple sewing all around of this piece that's that's all and then take your piece I'm gonna show you from this side where you can see what is folded and what is how it's folded fold this one with those side folds over this one more time now put a glue on this flap and a little bit more now here open this space it's like you will open this and you will go with this strip just between here because this paper it's a little bit thick so I need to work with that and just slide it there I'm gonna take my bone folder and press it and same you're gonna do on that opposite side put the glue and here I use quite a lot and again open this slot here and slide your paper inside like this take your bone folder and nicely press and you do have your wallet done so you have pocket here large one you do have pocket here you do have pocket here and you do have pocket here and here now just fold it and I'm always using bone folder here on the top and kind of pressing everything to make that straight side and you do have your pocket and we will create our box gift box so take your leftover and take scoring board so your left over should be eight and a half by five inches so place it with that eight and a half side on the top and we're gonna start to score first scoreline will be two and three quarter next scoreline will be three and one eight next scoreline will be five and seven eight and last scoreline will be six and one quarter flip it this way and score three eights and four and five eights that's all scoring this one it's the first part which I scored those two and three quarters and here I'm gonna start to cut I'm gonna take my scissors and I'm gonna cut the scoreline till the second scoreline from here I think I'm gonna flip it this way so you can see so I'm gonna cut both sides same so on the scoreline to the second scoreline here and in the angle same on that opposite side like this and here in the angle in the angle and this part between same on that opposite side in the angle in the angle and that part between if you would like to add sewing effect to your box as well now will be the best time you can use your sewing machine and sewn just all around of this base not those flaps but on that base and we will put together our box so fold or fold all these scorelines not or but all these scorelines make sure it will work nicely where you don't have those side flaps this will be flap of your box so you can take a corner punch and just around those corners like this now take a glue add the glue to this to that last last part or last panel side folds or side what is it edges so add the glue to these side folds and now place it this way this will go inside this will go around like this try to make the bottom of your box straight and glue it inside you can use your bone folder and with bone folder press the sides together the perlestone paper is drying a little bit slower than normal card stock so here I need to give it time to let it dry so like this I'm gonna take my off cut so first I'm gonna take this which I cut from here I'm gonna add there a glue and I'm gonna just glue it here over the edge once it's dry you can take another off cut and you can place it across of this one and to use as much as we have I'm gonna take that last one and I'm gonna place it kind of like over that first one just with the the pattern on the top and I'm gonna let it dry so once it's dry I'm gonna punch two holes and here I can still see my scoring on that on this piece in on the bottom so I can still see those three score lines and I'm gonna punch the holes uh on these three score lines kind of like ish they will be my navigator where is the middle of that part like this and I'm gonna fix two eyelets like this and for a closure I've got here folks letter about 17 inches long strip and I'm just gonna slide it in and out I'm gonna tie the knots close to those eyelets to make sure that this strip will don't fall out so one from one side another from that opposite side I can take the wallet place it inside and wrap all box you can put there some decorations laces some embellishments flowers you know anything you like maybe some name you can put you can put name of the receiver on that wallet itself and you do have your box including wallet inside from one sheet of 12 by 12 so for t and note card backpack and you can use the variations oh you can make variations I mean you can make a smaller pocket or bigger pocket I will show you that smaller pocket so I'm gonna start again with 12 by 12 sheet and I'm gonna cut that sheet on 7 by 12 I'm gonna put this small one on the side and I'm gonna start to work with this 7 by 12 I'm gonna place my sheet with that 7 inches on that meter on the top and I'm gonna start to score first score line will be one and three quarter one and three quarter and the next score line will be five and one quarter five and one quarter then flip it this way and we're gonna score four and one quarter five and three quarter ten and ten and one quarter fold all your score lines and use your scoring tool or ruler if you are using you know if you are not using scoring board and you are using a ruler and some smaller scoring tool just burnish all your score lines so we do have this one now where there are two score lines one and a half from each other we're gonna fold we're gonna make fault not here where are those two score lines close together but here we're gonna fold these score lines these these edges so push the first score line from the edge of the paper push this corner outside this one inside and try to match this side with that side underneath side on side and press so here side on side and push it down same we're gonna do on that opposite side lift it up now this one you need to push outside this one inside and now fold this score line to match it that edge underneath hold it here and press this now flip it over and we're gonna do same this i'm gonna push outside this i'm gonna try to push inside and match this score line with the that fold here with that edge here and press here and same on that opposite side push that score line outside this inside and match this here and always from score line here to keep this corner this matching corner so we do have the base like this now you can a little bit push inside these sides now take a ruler and pencil and on the side where you do have a flap open that side and from first score line first score line from this edge take your ruler and in the here i'm gonna make a mark where this half its end they are matching together here so i'm just gonna make a small line so i know where to go and now from this score line i'm gonna make a mark one inch and this is the spot where i will put the magnet now i'm gonna do same on that opposite side i'm gonna just draw a line whereas ending the edge of this side i'm gonna take my ruler and from this edge i'm gonna go and do mark one inch as well and here is the place where i will put a magnet make sure i'm placing those magnets the right way so here i'm gonna put double sided tape and this will be flap of a backpack so here i place double sided tape i'm gonna take one magnet and place it there on that's like this now i need to find which side of my magnets it's going to clip it together so that side this one this clipping side have to go that way not facing here but facing down there because here they will meet together so this side of my magnet have to go straight away on this point i'm gonna take that magnet i think i'm first i'm gonna put the double sided tape over this take it off and because i do have bunch of magnets here so i'm gonna take it this way and just place that right here press it so that first magnet should get glued and i'm just gonna very quickly to try if i'm not mistaken they are there and it's closing nicely like this so now i can take double sided tape and i will put double sided tape here and here on the top i'm placing double sided tape around those score lines here where my flap will go so over those score lines and under those score lines and also on the edge here and here i will put my double sided tape on the edge and under my magnet i'm gonna take it off and place those two sides together and take it off from here that backing paper and place these two sides together now i'm gonna take my double sided tape again and here where we created those triangles i'm gonna put double sided tape here on this triangle just a little bit you don't have to put there too much it's a very small backpack so on those edges of these triangles where is the edge of the side which is going with this with this side so there on all four i'm gonna take off that backing paper and press and press and same from this side take off that and press so we do have our spot for tees and maybe some note and i can fold this and it's immediately it's closing on that magnet that's perfect now i'm gonna take my corner punch and punch these two corners so i do have my bed done now i'm gonna take that off cut and i'm gonna cut uh this is five by 12 that off cut so i'm gonna move it on four and one quarter and cut the strip three quarter of inch and depressed so here so here i do have four and one quarter by 12 and here i do have three quarter of inch three quarter of inch by 12 i'm gonna place it on my scoring board and i'm gonna score this strip on three eighths three eighths of inch i'm gonna fold it this way i think in the end it did score quite different way okay so i do have this folded strip i'm gonna put my double-sided tape inside on that on one side one side is little bit longer so i'm placing my double-sided tape on that shorter side and i'm gonna glue those two sides together i do have kind of like decorative strip where i do have that you know that edge white edge i'm gonna fold it half and cut it on two pieces that will be strips for my backpack i do have prepared my strips for my backpack and i'm gonna take my leftover again so from this strip i'm gonna cut the piece four and three four and three quarter yeah four and three quarter i'm gonna cut the strip and then one strip one and half inch one and half inch and this one i'm gonna cut a little bit more i forgot the measurement of this so i'm gonna have a look and three and one quarter yeah so one and half by three and one quarter right here i'm gonna be using same corner punch for this small piece and that will be decoration right here on the flap so i'm gonna take a glue and glue there straight away for that other piece i just cut it i'm gonna take my scoring board and we're gonna score so i got here my small piece and i want to see this one on the top here as my another pocket so i'm gonna be scoring from here and i'm i will score all four sides half inch half inch half inch all four sides like this now i'm gonna take my guillotine and cut this on the half no on the half i'm gonna cut this where there is four and three quarter so in this measurement i'm gonna cut it on two and three quarter so i do have two pieces that bigger piece will be a pocket for for my backpack so i'm gonna be folding all these and i can take my scissors and cut these corners and i'm gonna cut these edges in the angle as well to make sure that there will be no bulks this will be entry to my pocket this will be bottom of my pocket and i would like to have it a little bit you know a little bit curved so i'm gonna use my corner punch punch and punch the bottom of my pocket now i'm gonna take this bigger piece and i'm gonna be folding these sides up so they will be like decoration this will be flap of my envelope right here and these sides will be like decoration to match it all together so i'm gonna take my glue put a glue on these folds and glue it down glue it down here is that off cut from this part so i'm gonna fold it half and i'm gonna be using small corner punch and i will punched all four corners and this will be flap for my pocket so here i'm gonna take same corner punch which i used here that's this large one and i will punch those two corners which will be corners on my pocket so this is pocket this will be flap for the pocket and i'm gonna take this small part put a glue on half one half and place it we will try to place it in the middle somewhere like this yeah somewhere here so now i'm gonna flip it over and i'm gonna take one magnet place that magnet here i think this way it will be much much better and stable so i'm gonna put a little bit of double-sided tape on this flap take it off find my magnet and place it there come on go there come on here we are all magnetic i do have my magnet on the spot i'm gonna put glue all around and glue it and let it dry so i do have magnet here i'm gonna take this flap pardon me i'm gonna take my pocket put a little bit of glue on these edges here and here take the flap of my envelope and place it right here and i will probably try to keep small gap like this here between fold and between edge of my pocket and glue these two together like this now i'm gonna fold the flap flip it over i'm gonna take my magnets and the magnet is over just one magnet just one magnet right here i'm gonna take a piece of tape and tape that magnet on the right spot so we do have mini pocket with a magnet on it now i can put a glue on these folded edges and also here on the you know on that fold from from the flap of my envelope so it's like frame all around so i can put a glue there here and of course here i'm gonna take my backpack close it and find a nice position for my front pocket and hold it there until it's dry you can open it put there your hand and kind of give it that pressure from inside as well or use your bone folder and a little bit press all together to make sure that everything will get glued nicely so we do have magnetic pocket here magnetic pocket here and the last thing before we will do some note card we do have here those two straps just fold them a little bit oops i'm gonna put a little bit of glue on the edges of these straps here and i will try to find the middle right there somehow to put them in the kind of similar spot hopefully i'm there i'm gonna hold hold it hold it till it's dry okay let's just have a look from this side to make sure it's kind of evenly placed there i'm gonna hold it so it's still drying before i will move to those bottom parts of those straps i'm gonna take this last of cut and i'm gonna cut this on the size three and a half no three and three quarter that way three and three quarter and cut this strip i'm gonna cut on let me have a look three and a half this one is three and a half i'm gonna be cutting a little bit less three and three eighths i think i'm gonna take small corner punch and we'll punch these two corners i'm gonna put glue on this strip and place that strip right here kind of like secure these you can use strip one if you don't want to use paper strips just wanted to show you how you can do it from 12 by 12 everything so once it's dry you can place your strips here around the corner so if you will fold this kind of like in triangle and place there a glue and then place it right here and here you have to hold it or use paper clips and clip it for for some time to let the glue dry nicely i think i'm gonna take paper clips so i found those these cute little ones so again i do have here that other strip and it will go here around this edge so i'm gonna fold it again kind of like in triangle here to try you know much this side with that side here so here i'm creating kind of like triangle i'm gonna put there a glue in my fold place it over the edge and again clip it with paper clip to make sure it will get glued nicely i do have here this one and this one so this i'm gonna just fold on half and if i will don't when i you know read it off of this small strip i'm gonna fold it on half as well again i'm gonna use this small corner punch this is the smallest i have i'm gonna punch these corners put a glue on that strip and place it right here like a very simple decoration i think this can be done hopefully are we there are we there so inside it's going card and some tea some fruit tea because of these colors and here can go something smaller some mini notes or something like that so that's it i hope you did enjoy these two tutorials i hope you found them
