Hey everyone, it has been easier community outreach specialist for the Pasco Sheriff's Office and today I'm out at Safety Town, which you guys all should know very well considering I did a whole video on Safety Town itself But I am back with the NMO class 19-2 and they are working on scenarios today to improve their ambush and situational awareness So I'm gonna show you a bit of that. It's I know it was supposed to be live or something of the sort Due to instructor numbers We are doing it with our simulator and I actually got to play with it a little bit and it was pretty intense. I did a zombie scenario Basically feel like I was in the walking dead, but stay tuned. Let's see if we can get into and let's have a great day Okay, guys and gals they're gonna explain why today is important for NMO So today's the scenario-based training the difference between our seasoned deputies and our new trainees As you experience the best way for them to get that experience is to do reality-based training Sometimes we do the suits and simulations Sometimes we put them on this simulator and we get throw a lot of rounds at them. So that's what today is I was on the simulator. It was great Did pretty good in my zombie attack You got anything to add Now it's good so it's good so we're gonna throw a lot of different scenarios of them today a whole bunch of traffic stop scenarios ambush Situation awareness. That's what today is all about situation awareness and ambush training We need to expose them To as much as we can before they get out to FTO. So we're not taken by surprise Let's go So the the I have traffic stop in bikini traffic stop my rate driver traffic stop with the bat The my rate driver first in the lab the bikini cooking up scenarios See today's gonna be a great day like I like today's like I like days like today because I can film So I'll be filming That way but also editing For all of you Multitasking. Hey everyone I have Carter who's deputy trainee with the innermost class 19-2 who actually was an explorer for A couple of years. Yes, ma'am before coming to ps. Oh, how do you feel about it? Um, I'm happy excited I was an explorer for a couple of years So I got a lot of good training from that and it helped me a lot in the academy I know so I know a lot of the instructors which helps a lot too. Do you would you recommend going to the Explorer program for any like High schoolers or middle schoolers that want to become a law enforcement. Um, definitely. Yeah I mean gives you an outlook on what it's like You actually get to see what deppies do on a daily basis. Okay, that's dope. All right. Let's run through this scenario What's wrong Okay, everyone say hello to deputy trainee Bo Griffin who has a pretty dope story I think so so say hey to all of our followers Nice to meet you. Okay. Tell the people just a little bit of your background before coming to Pasco My name is Bo Griffin. I come from winter garden, which is just outside Orlando. I worked at the police department there for about 14 years Yeah, I was in the canine unit when I left I was in there for six years and luckily they retired my dog to me So he's actually at home. I came back at home. He's my best friend and my buddy. Oh, I love that. Sorry So do you have any plans to possibly want to be on a specialty unit with us? Absolutely. Yeah, I definitely want to get back in the canine canines where it's at There's nothing like running behind a dog and bringing your best friend to work And he's there for you. He's your backup. He'll give his life for you and in turn I'd give my life for my dog just to protect him as well I absolutely love that so guys someone who knows a thing or two about the canine unit and wants to get back Into the canine you're just saying a year from now a year and a half We may see what at that point probably canine 26 27 at this rate. Who knows? All right. Thanks Hope you enjoyed what you got to see today for Situational and ambush awareness training with the scenarios the NMO class So if you haven't already liked this video like it comment subscribe and I'll see you next time


Hey everybody, good Friday afternoon and welcome again to Dr. Jill Live and today I have not only a brilliant naturopathic doctor but one of my dear friends Dr. Charlize Pratt. We're neighbors in practice and which is so fun to talk because there's so many levels on which we relate and today's going to be no different. I'm really excited about our topic. We're going to expand the topic from EMF, histamine and PEMF and you'll find out what all those mean and how they're linked if you don't know if you're like why in the world are these topics on one presentation and Dr. Pratt is not only a wealth of knowledge on this topic but she's even got some slides to share and just some incredible content. She was the one who first introduced me to PEMF. I had known about it for years but really the science behind it and sharing some of her patient stories and personal experience and I'm just a huge fan. If you've heard me talk before now, me and my mat, I love it. I use it every day so we'll get into some of that. Just a little background before I introduce her. If you want to find any of the other podcast or episodes, you can go to YouTube and just search my name Jill Carnhan. We now have over 60 episodes. We're podcasting so you will be seeing all of these episodes and more on YouTube's that you're all of the apps that you can find podcasting on as well. Stay tuned for that. We'll also have the landing page with transcripts all fully written out in case you don't want to listen to the episode. You can read it. All that coming, just stay tuned. If we do mention any products, my store is just drjilphhealth.com. You can find things there. Without further ado, I'll introduce my friend Dr. Charlize Pratt. She is a believer in integrative and holistic medicine. Her practice in clinic focused on neurology and complex medical conditions relating to metabolic disease. She uses functional medicine and her expertise in biochemistry, methylation, and physiology. She is one of the experts on some of these pathways. She's the one I go to if I want to talk about methylation pathways or comp-2 mutations or some of these things. We have some really fun discussions. She helps patients get to the root cause of their symptoms through a strategic approach. The modalities she uses in her practice are nutrition, botanicals, environmental medicine, classic homeopathy, and hydrotherapy. Many patients come to Dr. Pratt's office after seeing other doctors. They're scared, frustrated, and looking for answers that no one's been able to figure out. We both do these medical mysteries. She often tells people that she looks at medicine like a detective. She looks for clues that lead to the current health situation with strategy. She will work with you to figure out no matter how complex your health issues. She's been featured on so many different interviews and posts. You can find our previous episode on YouTube, on Facebook here. I don't know what number it is, but if you go back, we're recorded here as well. Dr. Pratt, thanks for coming on. It's great to have you here, and always fun to talk to our friend and colleague. It's so wonderful to be here. Thank you so much for having me on your podcast. You're welcome. I always like to start story, and I'd love to know this is kind of a broad topic. We'll dive in in just a minute, like how do they relate to finding the terms of that? Of course, you can share some slides too. But before we do, why is this relevant to our medicine, and how have you seen cases where either your personal life or patients where this really, really does make a difference? Give us just a framework of why you and I are interested in this topic and why it matters to the health of our patients. I think the journey began when I started seeing autistic children way back in 2005, 2006 through 2007. I became a biomedical doctor, a defeat autism now doctor. They were called back then. We were looking for environmental medicine clues, metabolics, genomics. We wanted to get to the root of why we were seeing these really tough neurological cases that weren't... We had to individualize care. It wasn't a plug, a protocol in, and everybody got better. You can't throw the kitchen sink at them either, or they don't get better because it overwhelms their kidneys and their liver. It was a journey one step at a time in environmental medicine, I'd say. I know you sit on a lot of different groups for environmental medicine, but electromagnetic frequencies are like smog. It's like smoke that we used to think of in the 80s. We'd be around smoke and feel like this is carcinogenic. This is really bad for us. It's called electromagnetic smog is the same thing. When we started seeing in practice that this is really impacting people's health, especially if they have Lyme or infections, if they have mycotoxins, if they have chronic fatigue. These were the canaries that first showed up in the practices saying, I don't feel well and something's going on and I don't know what it is. We as doctors had to sleuth it out, figure out what is causing this new level of new exposure to them because we've cleaned up the diet. We've done all these other things to support them and we weren't, for a long time, we weren't thinking about EMFs because we can't see them. We don't know that they're impacting us. As a personal story, I started helping a lot of patients. On a personal story, my family was in a really terrible car accident three years ago, last month. My husband got really hurt and injured and has been disabled since and has been dealing with chronic pain. You as well as many other wonderful doctors together, we've come together and we've found some really amazing things. But one of the things that I was looking for is pain management for my husband. That's when it all clicked to me when I was at an EMF conference in 2019. I started learning about PMF and what it did and what it did for metabolism and what it did for nutrient absorption, what it did for oxygen saturation within the cells, what it did for the cells to heal the cells and to manage pain and actually slow down arthritis, which that's something my husband has. Personally, there's many complications and Dr. Jill, you know many of those, but it was a aha moment when I found PMF therapies and that's when I dove in back, I guess it's almost three years ago, to start to really figure out this technology that's actually been around a long time. So then I started telling everyone I knew about it. But I always credit you. You've heard me say, I just have a doctor friend of mine. That's you. If you've heard me say that another, that's Dr. Pratt. And from my perspective, same as you, I've known about PMF. I've known practitioners that used it. I've known that there's good science. But when I started, first of all, you had said, hey, Jill, this is amazing. And all that I knew is the machine that you have is very expensive and amazing. And so at that price level, I was like, well, how practical is this for patients? And I kind of poo pooed it for a while. And then I got a chance to get one that was at a lot cheaper price rate and ended up working okay. But the bottom line is this, it's not about the price or the machine. The technology when I started diving in, there's such good science. This is NASA science. This is like really good Tesla Tesla. Yeah. And and again, I'll let you talk more about the details. How I got to be a convert to PMF was partially through you and your stories. And like, Jill, you really need to check this out. And all of these things, what ends up whether it's EMF or PMF and how they relate, we'll talk about that. It's invisible. So patients aren't always thinking about this, but there's so much power in this electromagnetic spectrum, not only to hurt and harm sales, but to heal. And personally, again, you guys have probably heard me talk about it. I've seen dramatic changes in my energy, my labs, my sleep. And I love objective data. So this is not just Jill feels better. This is like my labs are showing a dramatic improvement in malabsorption, things for my gut in my sleep. I look at the, of course, the aura ring and the deep sleep has been sometimes double or triple as before. So there's really objective stuff that I've reproduced. And so there's no doubt in my mind this works. I want to kind of give it over to you because you've got just such great content and you're going to pull this all together. If you want to share your slides, you can jump right in and tell us about these, what they are, how they connect and your experience with them. Well, let me just put all of this up for you. So this is just some ways that people can get ahold of me. You can find me at thepratclinics.com. And this is my clinic. So a lot of people are like, what's the big deal? I know the X-rays bad for me. I know that radioactive like plutonium and uranium is bad for me. We've known that for a long time. That's called ionizing radiation, but we've had a little bit of confusion about this non-ionizing radiation.   They're all full of non-ionizing radiation that we used to think. Not a big deal, but collectively it's becoming a very big deal. And I also ranked these in terms of least ionizing to most non-ionizing. So this is stronger than say the microwave oven, but think about, I just want you to think about the collective effect of your home when you think about all the smart technology we've brought in along with alarm systems and making sure our thermostat is on a smart set and we can walk into a room and it turns a certain temperature.  And we're going to talk about what the implications of that are.  So I had a building biologist come to my house. You can have someone come and measure these.  And my shocker was she had me lie in my bed on my bedroom where I sleep and she measured my body voltage.  So either all my electricity off or on. The difference was tenfold. It was 3,000, whatever the units are, and my body when the everything was on. And again, my bedroom, a few lamps, there was nothing, there's no smart meters there, anything else. I do have a sleep number bed, which has electricity on it as well. And then when we turn that off, just the master switch to my bedroom, it went down to 300, which is actually safe. 3,000 is not safe. I just wanted to put that in perspective because I have a pretty clean home and pretty low Wi-Fi from what I think. And I was shocked at the amount that was measurable in my bedroom. Same kind of story. I'll share my personal experience. So we had a building biologist in here and I gave them websites for building biologists, both the Institute for Building Biology, as well as Jeremy Johnson's website, which he knows all the building biologists all over the country, if not the world. He's a wonderful resource. He has a great TED talk too, but I was not feeling well in my home and I wondered why? Well, there were multiple reasons, but first the first thing I was okay with was finding out, you know, what our EMF situation was. And he walked into our bedroom and he was like, what is sending this off? Like the meter just went off. I can't remember how high it went, but he said he'd never seen it so high. So he was thinking it was like a drone sitting outside our window. What was it? You know what it was? It was our printer. Wow. It was the Wi-Fi sending out from the printer for, you know, for to pick up the signal to print something. And so we learned we had to turn off our printer, which is in the office right next to our bedroom every night. Otherwise, we're bombarding ourselves with the EMF. Wow. So it's these little, and the other thing that was really high in something called EMR, which is electromagnetic radiation was asleep a noisemaker. It was, all it was, was a noisemaker on the floor and it was sending out all kinds of dirty electricity. And so you learn, you start to learn, and I have some slides in here and I have some, the Environmental Health Trust is a great website for you all to know about. And that gives great, you know, ideas about where to go through in your home to kind of get the low, they call it low hanging fruits. And then you bring in a building biologist and they create a whole report. So, so wonderful. And they show you how to set up kill switches so you can make your bedroom like you're sleeping in nature. So yes, absolutely. Thanks Jill. That's, it's great to have that story. So who is this harming besides humans? We know it's harming us at this point. We have lots of research to support and you're going to hear about all the symptoms that go along with it. But we've got immune system dysfunction. We've got increase in bacteria and fungal resistance even to our antibiotics and our antifungals because of EMF. EMF is starting to show that bacteria and fungus not only grow faster in high EMF environments but they also become resistant to our medicines. So, and then we have fertility problems. We know that. But it's also harming our insects. There's a huge problem with bees and we're hoping that we are coming up with solutions but we don't know all of the ramifications of this electromagnetic fields that we're producing to our plants, our animals, and our insects. You know, we just don't know what we're doing. So we're still trying to figure that out. Wow. Look at all of the things that EMF exposure or when you have sensitivity to electromagnetics, there are people that like literally cannot go in a building that has Wi-Fi. And the reason why I started these is because look how many of these also are associated with histamine. And maybe some of you didn't know that these symptoms were related to histamine. Jill, what do you think of this list? Yeah. Gosh. That's why I loved. I was so excited for you to start telling us about this because at first glance when you see the title EMF, histamine and PEMF, you're like, first of all, what is EMF? What is PEMF? And then what does histamine have to do with it? Well, clearly there's a connection because it's such a correlated list. And you know, you'll talk about this, I'm sure, but whether it's kind of like poking the bear, whatever pokes the immune system or pokes the system, EMF is one of them, mold is another, infections are another, can cause our own mast cells to throw out excess histamine. And this is one of those things that can do that, right? Absolutely. We have, I'm going to show you some research after this slide eventually that shows we're starting to see more and more the correlation between mast cell dysregulation, which mast cells are the, they're like little balloons that hold your, your histamine inside. And when they pop, they release all that histamine out into your blood. And so when you are exposed to a lot of EMF, which let's talk about junior high kids, high school kids for a second and college kids, they all have their devices, they're all in a room next to all the other kids with devices, they all have their phones on them and their computers, they have their Apple watches, and then they have a router right above them. All of these devices are being tested alone to say this is safe, this is safe, this is safe, but when you collectively look at how much when we get into a room full of devices, it's exponential. And, and we also know in a lot of those schools we have mold growth, a lot of them, a lot of those schools, whether they're junior high, high school or college buildings, they have mold. Well, that's going to trigger a compounding result of these kind of symptoms.  I saw, I saw some, some pictures today reading through the research of a before and after when somebody was on their computer for like two hours, their hands were red when they got up and that wasn't even with them, with it on their lap, it was on a table. So there's EMF that's impacting, we're having skin and burns, they almost look like chemical burns and they're from electromagnetic frequencies are coming off of our devices. So, but if you see this list, I'm just kind of letting it hang out. I don't want to read every one of these, but many of these are also associated with histamine. So it made people start to wonder, like, you know, it also makes it really hard. Somebody may be coming in with ADD and like eczema. And it's not just that they have allergies to their environment, but they're maybe on their game console and have a bone in their pocket all the time. And that's the reason why they have eczema. That's the reason why they have shortness of breath or asthma. That's the reason why we may need to, we may miss it. That's what I'm saying, is a lot of us miss these symptoms. So a wonderful man in the environmental medicine world. In fact, he's kind of one of the grandfathers, wouldn't you say Jill? Yes, Dr. Ray. He had a clinic, an environmental medicine clinic, and he created this barrel approach. I had never seen it before, Dr. Ray, had you, Jill, which is, he was brilliant. Anyway, you can see all of these, all of these different chemicals, infections, pollens, environmental toxins, they all add up, and some of them make us more sensitive to EMF. A lot of them do, especially mercury amalgams, heavy lead burden in our body, even gold fillings. There are people that have actually reported that they can pick up on signals, if they have enough amalgams in their mouth, they can actually hear things like that are over radio waves, which, wow, that's intense. So we are, we have to put it all together. And I just want to remind any doctor that's watching this or patient that if you've been really confused, this is how complicated it gets. We have to look for all of these things sometimes in these really complex chemical sensitivity, long-term chronic infections, wouldn't you say, Jill? Absolutely. I love that you're saying that. And it really is the thing, the element in the room is our total toxic load, per Dr. Ray, is increasing every year exponentially. So even 10 years ago, the amount, I don't know what the numbers are and how much more Wi-Fi and how much more radiation we have, but it's literally the curve is not doubling, it's exponentially rising. It is. It is. And this isn't all going to be bad news, but these are pieces that we have to pay attention to. What we've found, you'll see in some of the studies as we go on, is even people that seem normal have no histamine response are showing changes after spending time on technology. So it's just something either as a doctor, as a patient to know exists. So this is my bread and butter, my practice. I love reading genetics. I really like Stratogene because it kind of puts all this pathway together and you see the genes kind of in motion, which I like to think about it as a big picture. A lot of you may have heard about MTHFR and that's kind of the sexy most famous gene of this metabolic pathway. But what I want to bring up here is that this is really complicated and if you're a patient, you don't have to understand this other than this is the full eight cycle and eventually we want to go over here and make something called SAM.  It's really important for making new tissues, your neurochemistry, your ability to break down histamine. There's so many repairing your DNA. We need all of that. We need SAM for all of that, this methyl donor and it's our master methyl donor. And so what happens is we go through this full eight cycle and if you see mine, this purple means, this is mine, this purple means it's slow. It doesn't do it really well. So my lifestyle and having a clean lifestyle is pretty essential. But you come over here to something called MTR and this MTRR and imagine it's like a cog in a wheel and the more oxidative stress we have, the more infections, the more heavy metals we have, the more toxic burden we have, it's like a stone gets stuck in that cog and it's not working very well. It's really limping to move. And that means that all of this work can't get over here to make SAM. And so what's a rate limiting step often, this choline. So a lot of doctors, really we need, and patients if you're out there, if you have EMF sensitivity, if you have chronic illness, if you have mold, we really need to work on methylation. And sometimes the answer just isn't 5MTHF. It's sometimes MB12. Sometimes it's giving choline or riboflavin or creatine to help this cycle move past. And it means that doctor needs to keep working and be patient with them because they need to keep working on bringing down the reason why this cog is getting stuck. And it's very essential. We need to get this to work. Right, Joe? Yes.  And I have seen more often than not, probably you too, Dr. Pratt, because we see these sensitive patients where patients are giving 5, 10, 15MG of methylfolate with no other intervention in a toxic environment. They crash and burn because what you're doing is you're up regulating this detox pathway. But I think of it as like taking an old Model T Ford and running it at 100 miles an hour on a racetrack. Everything's shaking, rattling, and flying off falling apart. And the patient's not able to go at that pace. And the toxic load is so high. So I love, I just want to bring it home what you said, because if you're out there and you just think your doctor says, oh, you need methylation, there's one size fits all, it's not going to work that easily usually, especially if there's more, especially those high doses, because you're pushing this system to its capacity and it doesn't work. Think about it as a, I love Dr. Lynch, actually, I got this from him. When you give too much methylfolate, it just ends up being like a recycle bin that's overflowing and not going anywhere if this isn't moving. And so you're actually creating more for your body to deal with than you're doing anything with. And I've seen the same thing, Jill. I love your Ford kind of falling apart.  Like they feel really good on high dose methylfolate. And then they crash on the other side because it's, they get to a point where they've saturated and this pathway isn't moving and it's not the B12 and folate. It's that we've got to take care of the, the redox. Why? Why is it slowing down? And we have to give it other support over here with choline, betaine, creatine and, and, and riboslavin. So this is just a quick kind of methylation talk, but I wanted to bring it home with histamine because it's, I think EMF, I'll talk to, you know, the people over at Seeking Health, we'll probably add EMF over here and EMF up here because I really think it is impacting the release and the, the, the gene trying to manage and what, what happens with histamine. What's, what's happening is, you know, anytime we have inflammation, infection. Because I really think it is impacting. All right. Are we okay? Yeah. Okay. So I think high stress catecholamines cause us to, to dump histamine. And then we can take it two different ways. And I just want to give everybody a little bit of context. There are things that are happening. I don't know if you saw that list and resonated. It may not be EMF that's causing your histamine issues. Lots of things cause histamine issues, right, Jill? Yes. But it can go down into the GI and then it's more of an enzyme than you take an enzyme called DAO. Or you come over here and we're managing release, but there's offsets to managing that release. Many people are taking a lot of quercetin these days and they're stressed out and they can't sleep and they don't know why. Yes. We all know that quercetin, although it helps those mast cells stay together a little bit better. And that would help a little bit with EMF too. They cause COM-T, which is an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, dopamine, and epinephrine. And it slows it down so you hold on to that longer.  So I have a very funny story about that, Dr. Pratt. I was, this is not even too long ago when I know better, but I like to experiment on myself and I was in the office one day and I don't know if I had some exposure that I knew was allergenic to me. And so I use quercetin as an antihistamine and I don't use a lot of it because I have a COM-T++. Just like you said, so what happens is that stops that breakdown of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and estrogen and then you'll feel kind of anxious, revved up. Well, I'm not typically an anxious person. I know better than to take a lot. I don't know what I was thinking. I took five caps, 2,500 of course it in because I didn't want to get allergic.  I was like, oh, I think my adrenaline is like sky high because of that quercetin. But it was so funny because like, well, if I ever want to feel like totally like I just got out of a car accident, I know how to do it. It'll just take those five quercetin. And we like the Goldilocks principle. We like to have just the right amount, not too much, not too little. But Green Tea Extract does that sometimes for some people too. So I'm just giving you some ideas about some things of why maybe you took some of these things to help manage histamine, whether it was EMF exposure, whether it's mold that you have in your world or whether it's seasonal allergies or Epstein bar or some kind of infection that's causing histamine, you know, yeast overgrowth even in the GI will cause histamine intolerance. And some of these other some of these great things to stabilize our mast cells can mess with our neurochemistry. But that's not today's lesson. And maybe someday I'll come back and we can talk about biochemistry with methylation because I love it. So here's some studies I just wanted to show you this is this is well documented. We're pretty clear about what's going on. But mast cells are activated and we are finding EMFs are basically making that dendritic cell or the mast cell that's what MC is standing for in here. Just to de granulate these cells and then these inflammatory substances like histamine make our skin be red or you get you see somebody's really flushed.  They're they're actually, there's a ton of dopamine that's being dumped while they're playing the game. But the EMFs and that the histamine just goes straight up. So it's just something I'm hoping that you all put together when when you're thinking about these things. And then this study was really interesting to me they were looking at computer screens and TVs, personal computers, and they took healthy individuals and they took more sensitive individuals and they thought that the healthy individuals wouldn't have any change. And what I highlighted here is to their great surprise, they they changed to they had a they had a reaction, even though they they weren't prone to histamine intolerance. So it's just going to show that there is a reaction here. And you know, histamine also opens up the blood brain barrier, where if you have heavy metal toxicity, if you have mold illness, if you have chronic illness, when we run high histamine, we're opening up that blood brain barrier, we're letting things in. So I'm just kind of showing you the this is from a French doctor. And I listened to a wonderful presentation he gave at the EMF conference in 2019. And this was one of his slides that I just thought was a great takeaway of how this this model is it's being comprised of how we're thinking about it. Did you want to go over any of this? Or can I know? No, I just love that you're mentioning that. And for you guys listening, if you have leaky gut, same thing, basically any membrane histamine will increase permeability. So it could, like vascular capillaries, cause more increased permeability and more swelling or edema, extra, you know, tissue space of fluid, it could cause leaky gut. So if you have a ton of EMF exposure and more histamine, you might get more sensitive to foods and have more food sensitivities, or more reactions post meal time. So these it's not just the brain, although that's such a big one because of our brain function. And like Dr. Pratt mentioned, the toxic metals, or if we have infections in our sinuses that can go right into the brain as well. But really leaky membranes all over the body will increase with histamine. Which both Dr. Carnahan and many of my patients have experienced. I think you've shared your story of having that pitting edema from your mold exposure.  And that was a big histamine response as well as leaky capillaries, wouldn't you? Absolutely. So I just want to talk about reducing exposure for a minute. There's, we could spend hours talking about this. And I encourage you go to the environmental health trust. They have a lot of free information for you. So just always keeping your devices as far from you as possible. I get really worried when I see women tuck their cell phones into their bra or I see them carry it in the back of their pants because we've seen an increase in cancer wherever that that phone is stored on a regular basis. When we have it up to our head, the rate of gliomas have gone way up. And also heart tumors have gone up as well by people putting their cell phones on their chest. So it's just, it's really remarkable when you start to look at the studies how much that radiation is pouring into your body and causing cellular mutation. So getting things away, you know, not keeping them on your body, using airplane mode whenever you can. I know some of us don't have landlines anymore. If that's the case, you may want to turn off Wi-Fi, but you can keep your phone away, maybe in a room that's far away from your bed or as far away within your room as you can. So a distance matters. You're going to see that over and over. And turning off Bluetooth. So I mean, I was on the phone with one of my patients last week and she was telling me about all these wonderful things she's doing to clean up her environment. And I had to be at the end of the call. And now I want you to get rid of your AirPods because they're Bluetooth and they're constantly pinging.  So we, just these little things can actually make a big difference in your health. Just having kind of headphones like I have that are wired. They're getting ethernet when you can and plugging in. This all reduces your exposure. It's not binging you with radiation. So let's see. Yeah. Keeping a distance. Working offline more often. And again, courting. So these are all important. I think it's really, really important to talk about kids real quick. I was one of the people that let my kid play with an iPad. Like he watched the backyard games on flights. And I look back and it made my life a lot easier. I would do it a little differently now that I know how much EMF comes off of a device. But they have thinner skulls. They have smaller heads when they do have a lot of EMF exposure in utero. They're developing their brain. We see more leukemia in kids that have higher exposure to EMF. And we really don't want to set our phone on our belly when we're pregnant. That's just giving a direct, we're just sending a lot of radiation right to our unborn child. What many of us don't know is whether it's drugs, EMF, you know, vaccines, they're all tested on adult men. They're not tested on children and they're not tested on women. So these limits, radiation limits are very different for women and children than they are for men. And so it's just something to think about. And lifetime exposure matters and compounding, like I said, the Apple Watch, the computer, the router, and all your friends around you having the same, that compounds the amount that we're getting exposed to. So here's those resources for you. You can stop this video later and write them down. I wish that I may be able to put them in the comment section if you need me to, Jill. I'll do that for you. Yeah, the Environmental Health Trust is a wealth of information and the doctor that runs that is very, she's helping everyone to understand more about 5G and the risks that come along with electromagnetic smog. And the building biologists, they can come to your home like Jill and I had and tell you how to make your home safe. So what are the solutions to all of this? And now we're going to get into the third topic that we said we would discuss today. But just real quick, I think you should find a good doctor. There are many of us out there. If you search, you can find naturopathic doctors. You can reach out to Dr. Jill and I if you can't see one of us. Changing your diet to organic, rich in antioxidants, low pro-inflammatory foods, these are basics. Supporting neurological health with omega-3 fatty acids in the DHEA to EPA is one to one. You're not going to be looking for one more than the other. You really want a lot of both. Vitamin D3, again, to support your immune response as well as your neurological system. Electrolytes are really disturbed when we have EMF sensitivity or EHS histamine problems. So getting on a good electrolyte. I really like seeking health and it's just back in stock if you were wondering. That one just came back. There are other really great ones out there, Jill. Do you have another one that you love? No. Well, it really depends on, I don't want to get too complex, but potassium ratios. So our really severe adrenal patients need higher sodium to potassium. So you can look and you can just calculate yourself if it's like two to one. That's better for severe adrenal issues. But what we're talking about, what we want is high potassium to sodium ratios. I love seeking health. There's no one else out there that has a five to one ratio and seeking health has 500 to about 900 of potassium to sodium. So look at your electrolytes because it does matter what the ratio is. Right. So supporting the adrenal glands, this is also helping hydration as well. And many people that have adrenals as function are low in sodium. But some people are sensitive, right? It'll make them have more leaky, leaky vessels. So we have to watch that sodium. But supporting the adrenal glands with adaptogens and things like that, you can talk to your doctor about it. Managing histamine with the things that, you know, don't overstimulate you, of course. Reducing oxidative stress. Now, peroxine nitrate and methyl marker are big problems with EMF sensitivity. So antioxidants and one that Jill and I both are really excited about is hydrogen tablets or hydrogen inhalation, right, Jill? Have you ever done a podcast on that? I haven't, but often they bring out my machine. I love it. I love it. Well, it's incredibly helpful for EHS or having sensitivity to these EMFs. So fiber helps, you know, phase three detoxification, really good fiber and of course replacing nutrients that, you know, your doctor would find would be either high or low. Removing amalgams, like I said, heavy metals are big problem in being sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies. And then a low EMF sauna or blanket, which I think Jill talked a little bit about a higher dose. I think they make an EMF low EMF sauna blanket that you can get. We both like high tech health. I think both of us love that company. I think both of us have had it in our offices at one point or another, which sauna just helps us detoxify. Now let's talk about pulsed electromagnetic frequencies. So what is magnetic field therapy? Like that's what PMF comes from. And it's using magnets, whether they're static or dynamic to create fields to treat and maintain health. And the earth has its own residents and it produce electromagnetic fields. So there are patients that I have had over the years that feel anxious, restless. They don't feel good. And I just ask them go outside and lay down on the earth. You don't need anything fancy or go for a walk in nature or walk on the wherever you can go to walk on the beach or be in nature. You get bombarded with it's it's negative ions, right, Jill? And when we get bombarded with those ions, we actually, we start to calm down. It's having too many positive ions that is different. Have you ever noticed in a lightning thunderstorm or rainstorm or if you go to vacation on the beach, all of a sudden you're like, I feel so good. And obviously we're on vacation or we might, you know, there's other reasons, but there is actually a powerful effect just walking barefoot on the beach or being outside or just after an electrical, like a lightning or thunderstorm or rainstorm. And these are the reason why we feel better is that negative ion. Yeah. And so it's the Shuman residence that's created by that lightning. Jill, I don't know if you knew that, but it's extremely low frequency. That's the elf. At 7.83 is the average that goes up and down. I am not a mathematician. So, Shalice, that's the one that changed my deep sleep. It's 7 to 8 hertz and it is absolutely, that is the game changer. It's like, and I always tell patients if I'm discussing it, it's like if I was sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag, right? Right. And that's, that's, that's what PEMF is trying to achieve on a certain level is trying to help your, you ground that you feel that electric, electric pulse that the earth would give you. So this is trying to give, we, we once lived on the earth, right? And we didn't have lights and we didn't have technology and we didn't have cars and we slept on the earth. And in some ways that was so much more restorative to our, we are electro sensitive beings. And you'll see in the history that we are connected through our, our, our electricity that runs through our own body. And we do resonate and constantly are pinging back and forth between us and the earth. So sometimes just getting and sitting on the earth, I know Jill and I have taken hikes where we take off our shoes and put our feet on the ground. And, you know, it's just so peaceful for your body. So you'll see there's a long history. It's not new. PEMF is not a new phenomenon. And we've been using it throughout history. And yeah, the father of toxicology used these load stones they were called and they were magnetic stones and he would treat seizures and psychiatric disorders back in the 1500s. He was already using magnetic therapies. And then, you know, it just kept going on this France, Mismur out of Germany. He had animal magnetism and natural energy of transference between all things that we are all energy and we are transferring energy. So, and then Samuel Hahnemann used, I mean, homeopathy is an energy based medicine. And he used magnets also in his treatments. And then Faraday, he created electromagnetism. He kind of came up with and contributed a lot to that, that study. Then each one of these, again, Tesla developed the coil that we use in PEMF to create the different sign, the different waves. They're all different. There's jagged. There's rectangular. And it's how we set the machine up to deliver this field that it can be tuned into what you need. So, somebody that needs bone healing, it's going to be totally different than somebody like Jill who just needs to lay on a low frequency. And her body starts to increase oxygen absorption, her circulation, her microcirculation changes dramatically. Her red blood cells, they get into these stacks and they all break apart so that she can actually have better circulation when she's on that mat or anyone's on PEMF. So anyway, it's made its progress. I mean, a lot of people looked at it as for what it could contribute to astronauts that went further than our gravitational pull out in space so that they wouldn't have bone loss and things like that. So NASA has developed techniques around it and so it's been in Europe though for years. I mean, I think for the last 100 years, we've had it in Europe. It started in Hungary and moved across Europe and it didn't make it to the United States, I think, until the 60s or 70s. So again, what is PEMF?  But I like this generalized ability to lay down on a mat and you to experience a low frequency and all these shifts for pain relief, for energy, for digestion, for repair, to enhance sleep. So these are all the ways in which it's used and you use different frequencies based on the technology that you have and there's lots of different technologies out there. Again, I think higher dose, they have a foreign for red mat that also has PEMF. Jill gave those to all of her office people, lucky people and yeah, they're really affordable. Those mats are great and if you want medical grade, you can find doctors like myself who have more of the fancy units that we can do a little bit more with but you don't need it. Not everybody needs that level. So that was what I prepared today. Oh, Charlize, this has been amazing and hopefully for you guys listening, this just ties it all together because it just makes so much sense and it's funny because sadly EMFs and Wi-Fi has gotten some political eyes. It's really not a political issue. It's just a basic science issue and the sad thing is Dr. Pratt and I are the reason we're talking about this is because we see patients that are suffering and we want to help them and heal them and find the answers and what we've seen in our clinical practice is for many of our patients, this really does make a difference. As you could see all the resources Dr. Pratt had, I will be sure here and on YouTube wherever you find this to include links to her clinic and to include links to all the resources that she shared and to include links to the higher dose and both of us love the Hightech Health sauna in Boulder. They're actually local here but you know it's funny I went to Switzerland and guess what they had? They had the Hightech Health from Boulder so it's a really good unit but there's also the sleeping bag mats. There's the little ones you can sit in and you know I was talking to someone the other day I think it was Lynn Patrick. You can just put a space heater in your bathroom and close the door. If that's all you have and you sweat that's the key there for detox. That's a whole other topic. We didn't talk about infrared sun but you don't always have to get the most expensive devices which is you know what we're talking about here today but any way that you can reduce your exposure will be helpful. Any last words of wisdom or parting comments Dr. Pratt that you have for everybody? Well I just I always like when I go over topics that can be scary or we can get overwhelmed by the amount of information or what's working against us in environmental medicine is the resilience of our soul and the resilience of us as a human being in a collective and I just want to remind everyone to keep a positive mindset you know find one thing to be grateful for every day and that's going to bring down those those peroxynitrates and those lipid and lipid peroxatation anything that could be attacking you from these environmental medicine perspectives and it's it's about making little choices all the time that lead us to our biggest success so maybe it's drinking more water today or maybe it's saying no to maybe a sugary snack just like all of those things you can start to incorporate some of these things and they don't have to be expensive but hopefully you got something that you could do even today maybe you unplug your router tonight when you go to sleep or maybe you set it on a timer or maybe you go to the environmental health trust and you see oh I didn't know the baby monitor was big pinging me so much and I will sleep so much better without doing that and I have a different solution there's other solutions building biologists can come up so there are always solutions that's what I'm trying to say I love that chelise because again sometimes it's funny because most of the environmental medicine conferences that we go to especially the first day it's like whoa everything's bad we're all going to die right so but I think you did a really good job of framing it there's practical things there's things that are free there's that you can turn your phone off at night there's there's very simple things you can do and not be overwhelmed and this is an all doom and gloom and you definitely brought that today thank you so much for this great information I can already see likes and comments people have really enjoyed this and I'm sure more will come and watch thank you again it's my honor great to see you you are such a dear friend to me and I'm so happy to be here thank you


Hi, I'm Peter Burris and welcome to another Cube Conversation. I'm being joined today by Tom Burns, who's the Senior Vice President of Networking Solutions at Dell EMC. Tom, welcome back to the Cube. Thanks Peter, it's great to be here again. Good to see you. So Tom, this is going to be a very, very exciting talk, conversation we're going to have. And it's going to be about AI. So when you go out and talk to customers specifically, what are you hearing them as they describe their needs, their wants, their aspirations as they pertain to AI? Yeah, we've always been looking at this as this whole digital transformation. Some studies say that about 70% of enterprises today are looking at how to take advantage of the digital transformation that's occurring. In fact, you're probably familiar with the Dell 2030 survey, where we went out and talked to about 400 different companies of very different sizes. And they're looking at all these connected devices at edge computing and all the various changes that are happening from a technology standpoint. And certainly AI is one of the hottest areas. There's a report, I think, that was co-sponsored by ServiceNow. Over 62% of the CIOs and the Fortune 500 are looking at AI as far as managing their business in the future. And it's really about user outcomes. It's about how do they improve their businesses, their operations, their processes, their decision-making, using the capability of compute coming down from a cost perspective and the number of connected devices exploding, bringing more and more data to their companies that they can use, analyze, and put to use cases that really make a difference in their business. But they make a difference in their business, but they're also, often, these use cases are a lot more complex. They're not, we have this little bromide that we use that the first 50 years of computing were about known process, unknown technology. We're now entering into an era where we know a little bit more about the technology. It's going to be cloud-like, but we don't know what the processes are because we're engaging directly with customers or partners in much more complex domains. That suggests a lot of things. How are customers dealing with that new level of complexity and where are they looking to simplify? You actually nailed it on the head. You know, what's happening in our customer's environment is they're hiring these data scientists to really look at this data. And instead of looking at analyzing the data that's being connected, that's being analyzed and connected, they're spending more time worried about the infrastructure and building the components and looking about allocations of capacity in order to make these data scientists productive. And really what we're trying to do is help them get through that particular hurdle. So you have the data scientists that are frustrated because they're waiting for the IT department to help them set up and scale the capacity that they need and infrastructure that they need in order to do their job. And then you got the IT departments that are very frustrated because they don't know how to manage all this infrastructure. So the question around, do I go to the cloud or remain on-prem? All of this is things that our companies or our customers are continuing to be challenged with. Now the ideal would be that you can have a cloud experience but have the data reside where it most naturally resides given physics, given the cost, given bandwidth limitations, given regulatory regimes, et cetera. So how are you at Dell EMC helping to provide that sense of an experience based on what the workload is and where the data resides as opposed to some other set of infrastructure choices? Well, that's the exciting part is that we're getting ready to announce a new solution called the ready solution for AI. And what we've been doing is working with our customers over the last several years, looking at these challenges around infrastructure, the data analytics, the connected devices, but giving them an experience that's real time, not letting them worry about how am I gonna set this up or management and so forth. So we're introducing the ready solution for AI which really focuses on three things. One is simplify the AI process. The second thing is to ensure that we give them deep and real time analytics and lastly provide them the level of expertise that they need in a partner in order to make those tools useful and that information useful to their business. Now, we want to not only provide AI to the business but we also want to start utilizing some of these advanced technologies directly into the infrastructure elements themselves to make it more simple. Is that a big feature of what the ready system for AI is? Absolutely. As I said, one of the key value propositions around making AI simple. We are experts at building infrastructure. We have IP around compute, storage, networking, infinity band, the things that are capable of putting this infrastructure together. So we've tested that based upon customers' input using traditional data analytics, libraries and tool sets that the data scientists are going to use already pre-tested and certified and then we're bringing this to them in a way which allows them through a service provisioning portal to basically set up and get to work much faster. You know, the previous tools that were available out there some from our competition, there were 15, 20, 25 different steps just to log on just to get enough automation or enough capability in order to get the information that they need the infrastructure allocated for this big data analytics. Through the service portal we've actually gotten it down to about five clicks with a very user-friendly GUI, no CLI required and basically again interacting with the tools that they're used to immediately rather than gate like in stage three and then getting them to work in stage four and stage five so that they're not worried about the infrastructure, not worried about capacity or is it going to work? They basically are one, two, three, four clicks away and they're up and working on the analytics that everyone wants them to work on and heaven knows, these guys are not cheap. So you're talking about the data scientists so presumably when you're saying they're not worried about all those things, they're also not worried about when the IT department can get around to doing it. So this gives them the opportunity to self-provision, am I got that right? That's correct, they don't need the IT to come in and set up the network to do the CLI for the provisioning to make sure that there's enough VMs or workloads that are properly scheduled in order to give them the capacity that they need. They basically are set with the preset platform. Again, let's think about what Dell EMC is really working towards and that's becoming the infrastructure provider. We believe that the silos of server storage and networking are becoming eliminated that companies want a platform that they can enable those capabilities. So you're absolutely right, the part about the simplicity or the simplifying the AA process is really giving the data scientists the tools they need to provision the infrastructure they need very quickly. And so that means that the AI or rather the IT group can actually start acting more like a DevOps organization as opposed to specialists in one or another technology. Correct, but we've also given them the capability by giving the usual automation and configuration tools that they're used to coming from some of our software partners such as Cloudera. So in other words, you still want the IT department involved making sure that the infrastructure is meeting the requirements of the users. They're giving them what they want, but we're simplifying the tools and processes around the IT standpoint as well. Now we've done a lot of research into what's happening in the big data now is likely to happen in the AI world. And a lot of the problems that companies had with big data was they conflated or they confused the objectives, the outcome of a big data project with just getting the infrastructure to work and they walked away often because they failed to get the infrastructure to work. So it sounds as though what you're doing is you're trying to take the infrastructure out of the equation while at the same time going back to the customer and saying wherever you want this job to run or this workload to run, you're going to get the same experience irregardless. Correct, but we're going to get an approved experience as well because of the products that we've put together in this particular solution combined with our compute, our scale out, NAS solution from a storage perspective, our partnership with Mel and Ostrman, Infinity BAN or Ethernet switching capability. We're going to give them deeper insights and faster insights. The performance and scalability of this particular platform is tremendous. We believe in certain benchmark studies based upon the Resnick 50 benchmark we perform anywhere between two and a half to almost three times faster than competition. In addition, from a storage standpoint, all of these workloads, all of the various characteristics that happen, you need a ton of IOPS. And there's no one in the industry that has the IOPS performance that we have with our all flash Isilon product. The capabilities that we have there, we believe are somewhere around nine times the competition. Again, the scale out performance while simplifying the overall architecture, very, very critical. So as we think about where this solution goes and where Dell EMC as a partner goes in this burgeoning and increasingly crucial space of AI, how do you regard or how do you think customers are going to be looking to you in a couple of years? For example, with that portal for data scientists, just be a portal that's focused on provision or do you anticipate the ecosystem getting stronger? I think the ecosystem will continue to get stronger. And I think that leads to kind of our third value proposition and that is we're building a team of experts. We have a services organization that helps customers in the implementation of these particular projects, not just provisioning of the infrastructure. We have a spectacular lab that we've built based upon the experiences that we have with our customers. So we can jointly look at some of these particular areas with our capability and our resources in our labs along with the customer. And then obviously we'll continue to do training. We have partnerships with companies such with the NVIDIA and so forth that helps companies build up the AI expertise within their particular space of their businesses. So it's not just about us becoming the infrastructure provider. It's also being seen as an expert in the industry and helping them go through this digital transformation, this journey of being able to use artificial intelligence and deep learning to truly help their business overall from the outcome. I once had a CIO tell me that in my world, the infrastructure must do no harm. That's true, that's true. Don't fix what's not broken or something. But the truth of the matter is, is that the way technology is moving today, CIOs are really challenged with really moving to kind of this future data center, software defined everything, the capability of again eliminating the silos and the management and people that are related to those silos and building a platform so that you can enable new applications, new workloads, new use cases, very, very quickly. That's really what the digital transformation is all about and that's what Dell EMC is very focused on. And nowhere is that more important than crucial new kinds of workloads like AI. Get to the outcome, don't screw around with the piece parts in between. Correct, let us do that. Let us do the testing, let us do the certifications, let us provide already proven libraries and tool sets that they're used to using. Let us jointly as a community improve on this provisioning portal so that it makes it even easier for the data scientists to focus on what they're really good at. And that's building the use cases, the algorithms, the various things, the models that help every vertical market. We've seen different use cases in healthcare, automobile, transportation, manufacturing, such as fraud and anomaly detection, the capability to look at object recognition, et cetera. I think these are going to continue to evolve over time. And we've got a host of customers that are already actively starting to work on these particular areas and they're already seeing tremendous business benefits. Tom Burns, Senior Vice President of Networking and Solutions at Dell EMC. Thanks for being on theCUBE. Thank you very much.


structure teams, and people on Fedora CI Special Interest Group. So the outline of the talk for today is, first I'm going to go through a Fedora height gating overview and remind what it is and how it works. Then I will explain how Fedora CI Special Interest Group is present in this picture and what we are doing. Then we'll cover how your tests to the gate we have and how to add maybe the entire CI system to the gate if you happen to have one. So let's start with the first item, the Rohite gating. Rohite gating is not a new concept but it was implemented last year but I'm going to provide some brief overview. So first of all for those who don't know what Fedora Rohite, Fedora Rohite is the snapshot for the latest updates of all RPM packages in Fedora. So this is our shared development space where we deliver updates first and then these packages go through stabilization phase and through beta and final release stages and then they go into the branched named stable Fedora release. So the important feature of Fedora Rohite is that it's a shared development space. So even though the packages which we put into Fedora Rohite have less quality requirements, there are development snapshots and there are development packages that are not targeting the regular typical workstation. Since it is a shared development space it still has a certain quality requirement which is basically that development of one package shouldn't block development of all the other components in Fedora Rohite. And since we have thousands of packages, this is a very tricky question, how to make it so that one package doesn't interrupt development of other components and these things can go and integrate nicely in this shared space. The second aspect of this, why we started to look into Rohite gating is that catching errors at alpha beta final checkpoints during the release cycle is actually too late. It is very hard to find at the beta release that we have a list of critical issues which prevent distro from being released and then we need under time pressure very fast resolve it somehow which may cause huge dependency chains and a lot of trouble. So short and targeted feedback loops are much better in testing and provide much better testing development experience because as soon if you test the change the moment you create it, you have much smaller scope of a change and much easier debugging procedure. So Rohite gating supposed to address these two pain points. How it does that? So by introducing the concept of the gate, I find that many people think about the gate as like doors open and closing. I find this association with airport gate is closer to what we actually are doing here. Even though, yeah. Yeah, so the gate is not a door, it's a place where you sit with your package until all the locations are passing and only once all the required checks are passing the package can proceed through the gate and land in Fedora or height. So this gate is implemented in CodeGear via on top of CodeGear tags and targets. And if you're interested in exact workflow, how this works, you can read the docs in the change proposal. So this was implemented last year and announced in February at DEF CON, I think, or maybe even early at Flock. And more to that, we have now two kinds of gate. We have single package gate where each change goes through the gate alone. And we have a multi-package gate where if you want to update several packages at once, for example, we have a very tight dependency on each other, then you can group those packages in one unit and test and work with this change as a unit of work in these packages from the group will pass through the gate together. So the gating framework is there, it works and it's nicely implemented in bot here and supported in the UI. But the question which we have now is like, who runs the tests? We have a gate, where are the checks and who creates them? And this is where CI systems come into play. So this is the small overview of how the gating process works together with the CI system. So we have bot here service, bot here is a database of all Fedora updates and it's our main instrument and main tool to work with the updates. Every time you create a new update in Fedora, both in Rohide or in stable branches, you create associated bot here update entry in bot here, which describes what this update is all about. Then bot here sends the message into Fedora messaging bus where it says that new update is coming, new update was created, that's it. So once message lands in Fedora messaging bus, we have multiple CI systems listening to the message bus, listening to specifically to this type of a message. And whenever a CI system recognizes the message about a new update, it triggers its own logic to trigger the test which are relevant for this update. Once CI system does its magic, it sends again a message to Fedora messaging bus with the test result. This test result can be passed, the test can pass, the test can fail, test can also be end within infrastructure error which is not, which means that we haven't achieved, we haven't gotten the result of the test. So result is unknown where it was some error on the way. All those messages land in Fedora messaging bus and then there is another database which is called resultsDB which collects all those messages from all the CI systems, puts them into one storage and you can query resultsDB and to learn all the tests relevant to this particular update, for example, and their statuses. This resultsDB then is used by Bodhi to make a decision on whether or not to let the package go through the gate. But from the purpose of this talk, the important part is here is that we have a CI system which role is in the role of CI system is to react on messages about a new updates coming, do the magic and then send the message as outcome, whether positive or negative. Everything else is managed by the gating system. So the only thing which is needed to produce the test is here is to create an update, to trigger on update and to send message with the result. And one important part about this picture and which I try to highlight here is that this is a distributed system. You can have as many CI systems working in this workflow as you wish as soon as you meet in them. So we can add CI systems independently and implemented through various tools. One of the CI systems which default Fedora CI system and this is what Fedora CI Special Interest Group maintains and develops right now. So we create and maintain the engine which runs the test for Fedora Rohite gating infrastructure. So you may be seeing this already in BOTHE. This is the screenshot of actually my update I made a week ago for Fedora Rohite. If you go on any page about the package update in BOTHE we can go to Automated Test Results tab and you will see test results there. So you see tests has a much longer names than I put in my picture, but they always have a prefix which is a ID of the CI system and then they have some name which describes what this test is all about. So to give the overview of what Fedora CI resources we have currently all of this test execution is implemented on top of Jenkins pipelines. We have one old Jenkins instance which is deployed to the CentOS cluster to be cluster provided to us by CentOS project. It runs this quadrability or zero functional test. It has no integration with Fedora account system and it has several other problems on the way. So basically it's on the road to be deprecated. To replace this old Jenkins we have also two more Jenkins instances like high availability and all that. So we have two different Jenkins master instances. One is deployed on top of the Kubernetes cluster in Amazon cloud and one is deployed again on top of the OpenShift cluster provided by CentOS but now it's upgraded to OpenShift for cluster which is new and which has more features interesting for us. So from a point of resources we have access to the cloud on Amazon which means we have a lot of resources there and we have access to OpenShift for cloud of resources from CentOS. The amount of resources there is limited but also quite a lot. Now what we do with all these resources this is the list of the tests which we are currently running. One of the most interesting tests is the Disgit test so-called. This is what you saw from the previous screenshot. In essentially this test scenario it runs whatever it is described in the test folder in the repository of the package. We take what's described there and we run this scenario in x86 virtual machine. So it's not a container it's a full featured virtual machine with Fedora installed in there and we just run scenario inside and then we get the outcome of this run and post the message to the message bus about the outcome. There are some links on how to do that so you can read for more details from there. The other test which we're running is RPM Inspect. This is a static analysis tool. It analyzes a spec file on most common issues and errors sometimes it's licensing checks sometimes it's ABI symbols. It works not just on the RPM spec but on binary RPM as well. And it also compares a new update, updated RPM with a previous version of the same RPM. So it gives you in, it highlights when file chain, there are some important file changes like you get in new binary with set UID bit which is potentially security threat. So this is the tool. This the tool itself is on GitHub so for more information you can go there. So RPM Inspect is our main example of generic test. It runs on every package not on per package basis. Should we use RPM Inspect instead of RPM Lint? I think they're not completely overlapping. So RPM Lint is more about the form of the RPM spec while RPM Inspect also goes deeper. So for example, it does the Anubin checks and things like that. So I'm not familiar with the details in both tools. So maybe it's a good question to ask to David Contrell who is the main maintainer of RPM Inspect and he is very open for feedback. So you can go to the GitHub repo and file an issue with this question. Definitely something to consider but I'm just not sure about the details here. The other two tests which we are preparing currently you may meet them already in the bot interface but we are still working progress is RPM Dep Lint and installability checks. RPM Dep Lint check verifies the dependencies of a package of a new package as satisfied in the current state of the repo. It's quite simple but it catches some interesting errors sometimes. An installability check is a verification but the package you've just built you can install then you can remove it. You can also upgrade it from the previous version and then downgrade the upgraded one back to the old one. So these tests are actively in progress. So we're working on them right now. There are more ideas and tests in consideration but like as usual resources are a problem. People resources mostly and definitely there are a lot of ways how to improve this part. If you're interested in learning more about this test then we have Fedora CI Special Interest Group. It's in Fedora Project Wiki. We have Fedora CI channel on IRC and we have also my list which is called CI. Now I promise to explain how you can run your tests actually and this is where it gets more interesting. So the question to you as the audience is like do you have ideas for the tests which we might run as a generic test for all Fedora packages? So first of all like if you have idea how you would like to test one specific package then the easiest way to add such a test is to contribute this test to the this git repository of a package into that this git test workflow. Obviously to make it work you need to first talk to package maintainer and see if package maintainer agrees with the idea of a test then you contribute it to the repository via pull request. We recommend to use pull request for such work because on pull request we run a preview of a gating test and we post results of the gating test of the this git test in the pull request interface. So you kind of know before you merge if the test which you contributed actually works. If you have an idea of a generic test which might be I don't know checking build requires and not just requires like our PM Deplin does or checking consistent consistent version in between some packages, whatever logic you feel like you like Fedora to have enforced then if this check is simple enough to be run in a container environment which means it's not exactly that simple because we run virtual machines in container environment as well with no problem. So if you have a test which can be run as a script in virtualized, containerized to virtual machine environment then we now have resources and possibility to implement it as a part of Fedora CI generic checks. So to implement such a test you can just go directly to Fedora CI SIG what we would need to make it work is the test script itself which would be run on certain container image. Once we have that, we add the Jenkins Roper around this script and around this container so it becomes a Jenkins pipeline. You can create your Jenkins pipelines on your own if you would like, just take a look into the doc and clone, for example, RPM-deplined repositories and do the same thing but for your test. Or you can come to Fedora CI SIG and we can work on that together definitely. So one of the highlights of the current state of the things in Fedora CI is that we are refactoring our Jenkins setup and these new Jenkinses now give us more flexibility in how we work with Jenkins pipelines. We are now connected to Fedora account system so you can retrieve your jobs just by using regular Fedora account but also you have a more simple approach to writing the pipelines itself. So we decoupled a lot of things and now writing pipeline usually means specify the pipeline metadata, specify the container in which the pipeline should be running and specify the script which the pipeline should be running and the rest of it is the library functions which will be just like triggering and sending messages when it's all done. So we're open to such work and we're welcome all ideas which come from the community to this area. Now the other part about how to add your tests to Fedora Rohite gating is how you actually can add your CI system. This use case is more interesting for people who maintain, let's say, their own hardware labs or certain specific environments which you cannot share and you cannot reimplement on top of basic OpenShift cluster. If you have a dedicated hardware sitting in a lab somewhere in a dark room and you want to test in advance that let's say update of Fedora Kernel or update of Fedora LibWirth doesn't break your staff on that particular hardware. What you can do is you can maintain your own CI environment, CI system and then you can onboard this CI system to the Rohite gating workflow because as I showed before the only job of the CI system is read the message from the Fedora messaging bus and send the message with the result. Of course there will be logical assumptions on CI system so we can vote in Fedora packages. So if you vote with the test result but don't provide logs we can do anything about this. So such a vote is probably useless thus if you want to have a CI system voting in Fedora it can be a private CI system but it needs to publish some of the debugging login information in a way that Fedora community can read that and can understand what's going on. Of course additionally to that you need to talk to people which you're supposed to test. So they approve and agree with the concept of the testing and they will not just ignore the test results you're posting and you have some technical things you need to do like choose a name for CI system the ID which will be the prefix of all your test cases you need to add some triggering mechanism and to request the right to send messages back to Fedora Message Bus. So reading Fedora Message Bus is open for everyone sending to Fedora Message Bus is restricted so once you set up a system so it reads the messages, posts the test results somewhere you have a history of actions done by the CI system you can request then the access to Fedora Message Bus and then all the test results start to appear in body. We have a more detailed documentation on that so based on the interest in the audience I can answer some questions let me know if you want to talk more about it. One important note about all of this setup is that we do separate the part of running a test and providing the test result and the part of making this test result blocking the update of a package. It can be done in totally independent way. You can add tests, you can run them they will be visible in the interface will be reported but then unless package maintainer explicitly agrees to block package updates on this test results this test will not block in the package from landing in Fedora Orhite. So it will not be considered as a required check in the gate. Configuration of the gate is a separate thing it lives in a separate configuration file in the dis gate repository. And we have a talk about that. I wonder, yeah. And basically every package has a possibility to write down for his or her package that this is the list of tests which should be blocking for my package update. And this will add this enforcement part to the whole process. Currently in Fedora we don't do any global enforcement on any level. So all the tests we run in Fedora CI are not providing feedback but we leave it to maintainer to choose if this test will be blocking or not. Some of the maintainers already chosen that dis gate test or RPM impact test to be blocking but not all of them. And yeah, not as much as I would love to see people are still are not quite familiar with the system. So by refactoring and by cleaning up some documentation pieces and we code and opening it up for contributions we expect to get more traction and more understanding from the community on what's going on there. And yeah, one note here is like even the very, very simple here which looks like an absolutely obvious thing actually can be very important. So as a Red Hat OSCI person we tried this sometimes and we saw that tests make a difference and you don't need to build too much logic at the beginning. You just can start with something smaller and grow into a larger set of tests once you are evolving in that area. So to be honest, this was faster than I expected. So I wonder at which level the audience is and do you have more questions on Fedora CI on Rohite gating or on specific implementation details feel free to ask. So I'll check how long CI system have to either report results or be skipped. We don't have any limits right now. As I said, we have gating framework, we have CI systems pushing results to message bus and results to be aggregating them and this system, it needs to learn certain corner cases, needs to add certain limits but it needs to grow out of the usage. So basically right now we don't see requests and problems with long test cases. That's why we don't introduce limits. Any result that is available before the next Rohite compose. So let's put it this way, you create an update. This is your package of version 1.2.0. We run tests for this particular update. And so we send a test message which says package X of version 1.2.0 past this RPM deplete test. So this result will be valid just for this package. And this means that this package can land into Rohite. Once the package lands in Rohite, result is not going anywhere. It still is the entry in results DB but it's attached to that specific build which you tested. If you create a new package update of the same package and you bump version and it's now 1.2.0-3, then you get a new test run, a new test result specific for this build. Previous test result is not valid for this build anymore. Does it explain the question or not really? Okay, good. About how long CI system run? Question. We have an example of certain packages. Of course our favorite packages in on CI are GCC, kernel, TechLive, and a couple more. So I think GCC, test cases run for more than 10 hours right now. So we originally had a default limit of four hours per test for these good tests. But we added the feature into the configuration option so that limits can be extended to whatever time you wish. Basically our idea of this time limit is that if package maintainer is okay with waiting, we don't mind running this test for that long. So we try to give more possibilities to package maintainer to navigate this part while it works for package specific tests. Of course for global tests where we consider eventually adding installability check for example as a global policy, then in that conversation we will need to figure out the top limit which we must as Fedora CI system provide before we actually enable this as a global blocking test. So it's definitely not going to be just our decision to one day to enable the test and everyone is blocked. This will be discussion and conversation about limits about reliability and all of these parts. And one more thing I forget to mention is that I talk about like blocking and non-blocking tests but if we look at the implementation there's actually no blocking tests at all. So every blocking test, even if it's really a blocking test which package maintainer decided to run for this package and block on that, every test result can be waived. Because again we want to keep the control on the maintainer side. We expect that maintainers in certain cases where we just cannot predict some corner cases and what's happening with the test in this particular combination of packages, we give the freedom of making a final decision to the maintainer. So what will happen in such case is that you add your test as a blocking test and you configure your repository, your package updates to block on results of say RPM de-plint. Then you create an update, it fails the RPM de-plint and you see that RPM de-plint is just not getting the right information because this package is slightly different from what we expected and there is a huge explanation why it still should go into Fiduro-Rohain. Then in this case you can say I'm going to ignore this test result for now and let this package in, I will deal with this test and this package later if needed. But I know what's happening and I know that it's okay and I know that package can go forward. So even blocking tests are not completely blocking in our setup. Any other questions? If not, then again we welcome everyone at our Fidora CI RSE channel, MyLineList and Fidora CI Special Interest Group. We are open to ideas, we are open for contributions, our code is on GitHub right now under Fidora CI organization. So if you're interested in Jenkins stuff and in things like that, DevOps managing Kubernetes clusters come talk, we have interesting conversations about it. And yeah, we're open for adding new tasks to us and we're open to help you to make your CI systems testing Fidora updates. I think there could be a lot of hidden benefit for Fidora from having such environments. Thanks everyone and see you on all other sessions, including social and antisocial and whatever it is. See you!


I think people should be exposed to different areas to understand where their passion lies and what they enjoy doing and then pursue that.


How do you fight sin? How do you keep sin at bay? Paul says make no provision for the flesh. If you struggle with let's say lust, well then what you can do is on your phone make sure you dislike or I'm not interested in any of these videos, any of these shorts, anything showing or exposing someone of the opposite sex in a sexual position. Make sure that you don't buy condoms just in case. Make sure you don't listen to certain songs. As a matter of fact, delete certain songs off your playlist. Make sure that you unsubscribe or stop having certain streaming software. Something like Netflix or what have you that may bring something to your eyes, to your ears. Make sure that you don't go around certain people. Make sure you don't go to certain places. Make no provision for the flesh means make sure that where you go, where you see, where what you hear doesn't entice your flesh. Eliminate that. I promise you you're not going to miss out on anything, but what you will gain is freedom, joy, and a closer relationship with Christ.


ready car video time we are at the farm and we at home basically we're heading out to my favorite place lately I'll tell you about what where that is in a second just got to get out on the road it's October 2020 it's autumn getting colder and gray today that's okay that rhymed it's gray today that's okay anyway so I am actually heading to the pool swimming pool I've been heading there regularly lately which you would know if you follow me on Strava there's a link in the description I've been doing my training there lately in the form of swimming and aqua jogging okay aqua jogging is when you have a flotation belt on have it here actually and you float and then you you you do the running motion basically while floating across the pool so it's a great way to cross train for runners so the question of course then is why am I cross training well I am injured I have been for a little while now and I have to take some time off running the short story is basically you know I I know what I did wrong I look back at my training log that's one of the benefits of having a training log by the way I look back at my training log at Strava and I can see exactly what I did that led to this injury I you know I had a break over the winter and starting to come back this spring it was I was struggling with some Achilles tendon issues and but you know they were persistent but I was able to still run a fair bit so I did a little bit too much too soon I guess which was what caused Achilles issues anyway eventually the Achilles issues went away and I succumbed to the classic over eager syndrome where I was so ready to get into real training after having to hold back to the Achilles issues that I was just too eager to train and I pushed a little bit too hard over a few weeks back in June July July really so basically I and I just just pushing a little bit too hard overall I did two hard workouts with just one day of rest in between and I was not ready for that level of workouts or the intensity I even did run the workout a little bit too fast actually it's very difficult intersection just gonna concentrate gotta fill up the tank to person crossing the street anyway so I struggled with getting back I did those two hard workouts with one day in between it was too much and on the second workout I had to abort actually it was a track work I had to abort it due to pain in my left shin on the side in the sorry the fibula region the bone anyway so the that pain did not go away and it still has not gone away and it's been like three months now it's very persistent it's not super painful but it is persistent and so it's it's just it's very annoying and it sort of feels like and looks like it's probably a bone issue which means that you know there's only one way really to heal bone and that is to back way off your training and if it's really bad if it's an actual stress fracture you got back all the way off and do nothing for a while so I backed off training I haven't run for three weeks I've been cycling and aqua jogging and swimming though I did an x-ray it came back negative nothing there but x-rays are not really great at showing stress reactions in the bone or stress fractures so I'm getting an MRI my physiotherapist is sending me to get an MRI in a couple of weeks so I'll be doing that and hopefully they'll give me some more answers and that'll help me you know decide how I'm gonna approach my training over the next few few weeks because if it is a stress fracture then I just need to back you know I just need to know that okay well this is gonna take six eight twelve weeks you know to get back to real training and if it's not a stress fracture and there's something else going on then well then we can try and figure out what that is and maybe I'm able to train through it but I don't want to take the chance of running through it I did for a while and it just didn't go away and it's still there so I don't want to take any chances I've heard about people having stress fractures for a long time and never allowing it fully to heal and then getting into some serious issues eventually so that being said I am actually enjoying the pool a lot I am I'm enjoying it it's it's fun I am trying a new sport which is swimming I've been working hard at my swimming technique I've been reading I've been watching videos I'm not a good swimmer or maybe I am I'm just never I've never practiced I feel like I've made huge improvements over the over the last couple of weeks of swimming and my main thing is just the breathing you know getting that under control doing the freestyle crawl you know and breathing under up on the side and it's just so technical so many little details that you got to take keep an eye on when you're swimming and it's just a strange medium you know strange place to be in the water to just be under the water with your face and breathing out in the water it's just very very not I'm not used to it so but that's cool because that means I'm improving quickly and I'm learning new things and it's always fun to progress and I'm realizing more and more that you know it's not really about the results of your of whatever endeavor you're doing and so my running it's not really about the results it's about the grind you know it's about the daily process of applying yourself to try and reach your goals and right now my goal is to heal and in and a sub goal is to become better at swimming right and that kind of makes it you know reasonable to think that maybe in the future I'll try it try to do a triathlon like I've always been fascinated by the Iron Man you know who hasn't it's an awesome endurance event and now that I'm starting to get a hang of swimming maybe one day I'll do a triathlon maybe who knows I'm still a big fan of running though most be running is closest to my heart for sure but yeah it's fun and it's also fun to do the aqua jogging I have to say I only done it twice though and I'm doing it for the third time today I guess it's not really that fun but it is for me it's fun to be in the pool I just I just enjoy that environment and it's fun so that's a little bit of an update we don't have to make this video drag on for too long my my life I mean I'm disappointed with the injury for sure running is like the biggest most important part of my life so it's very frustrating for me to have this injury and to be in this situation but it's very common for runners to be in this situation and also I'm learning a lot about myself and my training and you know I've done some huge changes to how I coach myself because I'm self-coach of course and that has its downsides you know doing stupid things like having two hard workouts with just one day in between of rest after just just getting back to running really it's just it was a stupid mistake and so I've started you know taking my coaching more seriously the coaching of myself of course I'm also coaching other athletes and with those I'm I'm definitely I would never make the mistakes that I make with myself with them that's the kind of ironic thing or the stupid thing is that it's very typical for coaches and people athletes are our self-coached to be very careful and accurate with their coaching clients like I am but to when it comes to myself you know I'll be like I can handle it I can do it I because you're too obsessed about the results I'm too obsessed about I need to do this workout because I need to get back on track and there's too much ego and too much emotions involved right so in order to deal with that I've started now having a good routine where I sit down once a week for or twice a week sometimes for an hour or two and actually write a report where I'm sort of talking about myself almost in third person and I'm sort of analyzing my mistakes and write I write down what I can do to get better and I write down some rules you know I'll never again do this kind of mistake and this kind of mistake and I'm trying to sort of get very objective about my own coaching and if you're interested in coaching from me of course I offer customized training plans and coaching subscriptions you can check those out at my website there's a link in the description and so go ahead and check that out yeah as I said I'm disappointed but I'm also very happy at the moment just pursuing this new sport and seeing the change of the season and a lot of things going on in my life right now which are some of them challenging some of them awesome as you know good mix of both which is usually the case right autumn is coming on strong it's really really beautiful right now I guess you can see some of it out the window there right you don't get the best for you because of the lighting but it's there's a lot of yellow quite a lot of orange some red it's really really beautiful now I wish I could be out running you know in this perfect autumn weather autumn is like perfect season for running except for when it rains but I'm going to the pool and I actually enjoy the smell of chlorine because I just I associated with with fun I guess from my childhood just going to pools and being in hotels and swimming pools just it's a good association for me so I like it yes is there anything else to say anything any other updates I don't think so I appreciate you watching this video if you made it this far definitely leave a comment I would love to hear from you what you think have you tried aqua jogging are you a swimmer you have any swimming tips for me as a beginner just leave a comment please I would love to hear from you and check out my website for the for the coaching details wishing you all I'm at the pool now actually it's just around the corner so it's a pretty short short drive and thanks for watching have an awesome day please subscribe of course if you haven't done so already and I will see you in the next video bye

We are Appalachian Wireless. On the night of Sunday, February 26th, a man was reported driving at high speeds in Jenkins. After the Jenkins Police Department was notified, they pursued but were unable to catch him despite their best efforts. Jenkins Police Chief James Stevens tells us more. Subject by the name of Jared Ratliff was observed driving recklessly at a high rate of speed without a seatbelt through our town or a midnight shift officer attempted to make a stop for the recklessness and the high rate of speed. Subject refused to stop. Our officer pursued him. The perpetrator went on over into Pike County. At that time, an electric county deputy was also en route and joined in the pursuit. They lost the subject at Kelly Mountain. He came out again and attempted to run them over while they were standing outside talking with the trooper. They again went in pursuit. He came up 805 through Jenkins where he was spike stripped. The strips did work. They flattened two of his tires. We continued to pursue him. He finally came in contact with a guard rail at the Dorton Elementary School and took off on foot. After Ratliff had fled the vehicle on foot, officers used non-lethal beanbag rifles to attempt to stop him. Now that he has escaped into the mountains, he is still at large and believed to be dangerous. At this time, then, he is still at large. We did warn a Pike County post and our own Letcher County units as well that he did say that he wanted to die, so he does have a weapon. Where we go from here is the officer that initiated the pursuit. He is going to be obtaining warrants for him and will be trying to serve those warrants as soon as we can.  He wasn't cussing at me or anything like that, so obviously, there's a little bit of sense still left to him. So maybe the report we've had from the years I've known him, maybe that'll help out, but we'll do what we have to do to keep our public safe to ourselves. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
