This Byte's ICPD video is based on a video created by pupils at Richard Landers School in Cornwall. It was developed as part of the Head Start Kernel project. Students wanted to share ideas with school staff about how to respond and how not to respond when students were struggling. They looked at two common scenarios where they felt that the way that staff respond was sometimes not helpful and they considered a more helpful way that we might be able to respond. The scenarios were when a student is late for a lesson or if a student opens up to a member of staff. In both cases they filmed what not to do and then what to do. So let's look first at the first scenario. This is when a student is late for a lesson. In this first clip we see what the Richard Landers students thought we should not be doing. These are some of the doing words. Jess. Why are you late? This is the second time this week you've been late. It really isn't good enough. You're gonna start falling behind. Okay quickly take a seat and write down what's on the board please. Right guys, where were we? This isn't the best way to deal with this situation. You're isolating a student and making them feel vulnerable in what's probably already a vulnerable situation. They might actually have a genuine reason why they are late and now they feel completely cut off from the rest of the class. What do you think about the clip? How do you think the student feels in this situation? Have you responded this way yourself in the past? I think most of us have. What do you think might be a better way of responding? And now let's take a look at what the Richard Lander pupils thought would have been a better way of responding in this instance. Doing words. Jess. Fantastic. Brilliant. Excellent. Great. What is a noun? And name some things for me? Brilliant. Brilliant. Okay so what I want you to do now is continue working on your stories for me. Okay and we'll have some feedback in ten minutes. Okay let's go. Hey what happened to make you late today? Oh I just have to stay behind and talk to the teacher about something. Okay you know this is the second time you've been late this week. Okay so what we just need to make sure is that you catch up on any work that you miss. Okay so if you don't get all the work done today can you stay behind for five minutes just to make sure it gets done? Just don't want you falling behind all right. While this won't necessarily solve the problem it avoids the child feeling singled out and reduces disruption to the lesson. Do you agree? Can you imagine this response working in your classroom? How would you adapt this for use for yourself? In the second scenario a student opens up to a member of staff about their personal circumstances. Let's have a look at the clip which shows what the Richard Lander students thought was a common but unhelpful way of responding in this circumstance. Samson just wanted to talk to you about your photography work.  What's going on? My parents just decided to split up. I'm really struggling at school. I can't focus in classes. I don't understand it but it's really hard. Totally understand where you're coming from. My parents deforested and asked them to raise to you. Really nasty divorce. It's really hard. Best thing I found when I was your age is to just get my head down and really focus on my school work, focus on me and put aside all the things that are going on outside. Yeah thanks. Comparing past experiences isn't very helpful. It can make you feel invalidated and frustrated. What do you think about this clip? How do you think the student feels and how do you think the staff member could or should have responded differently? Now let's take a look at what the Richard Lander people thought would have been a better response in this situation. Samson just wanted to talk to you about your photography work.  What's going on? My parents just decided to split up. I'm really struggling at school. I can't focus in classes. I don't understand it but it's really hard. I understand. I'm really sorry to hear that Samson. Is there anything I can do to help? I don't think so but thanks for offering. Okay well I'll keep my room open a few lunch times this week. Give you a chance to catch up on any work. Give you a bit of a quiet space if you wanted to come by and relax and try to potter along in your own time but if you do want to talk at any time I'm here for you okay? I will. Thanks. No worries. Do you think this is a better response? Can you imagine this working for you? How would you adapt this response to make it work for you? Can you think of any other situations where the way in which we might commonly respond might not be the most supportive way to respond to our students? Think about what those situations might be, what our common response is and perhaps what a more supportive response would be. I hope this gave you a bit of a chance to reflect on the more supportive and less supportive ways that we might be able to respond to students. A huge thank you to Head Start Kerno who sponsored the project and to the students of Richard Lander who created the films and an especially big thanks to the superstar teacher from Richard Lander who was such a good sport and who deserves an Oscar don't you think?


In reaction to the standard of the federal government, the National Labour Congress has refused to back down on its plans to the nationwide protests, veiled to old on Tuesday, July 26th and Wednesday, July 27th in support of the academic staff union of universities, despite the two-week ultimatum issued by President Muhammad al-Buhari. At least 40 unions, including the evasion workers, will participate in the rally called in solidarity with the striking ASU, which has shut down public universities since February 14th over the failure of the federal government to meet its demands.


Okay, we're back at Oracle Open World. My name is John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com, SiliconANGLE.tv, and we're inside the CUBE, our flagship telecast here in San Francisco, California, for Oracle Open World 2011. And inside Oracle Open World is the big show around IT, Oracle Database, Oracle Software. It's the biggest IT show on the planet. I mean, it's almost in size, it's CES. But one of the things that we do here at SiliconANGLE.tv is the CUBE is we do spotlights. Spotlights were introduced to go in-depth into conversations. And I'm here with my co-host, Dave Vellante. Dave, tell us about this spotlight around High Performance Data Center. John, this spotlight is focused on the High Performance Data Center. It's looking at the major trends within microprocessor design and how they're manifesting themselves in new data center designs and what it means for customers in new workloads. And we're here with David Floyer, who's an expert in that field. David, welcome. Hi, thank you. Thanks for coming in. So, what we do in these spotlights is we try to put together some visual aids and Mark will put up various slides on the screen. And the first thing I want to look at is some of the trends that are driving change in the data center. And what we're seeing is you've got a number of mega trends. Virtualization is obviously the big one. Everybody talks about huge data volumes. And David, as we know, heat density is a big problem in the service space, isn't it? Why is that? Absolutely. Heat density was rising very rapidly, 30% per year for quite some time until the chip vendors took it on and worked to reduce the heat density. And it's been rising slowly for the last few years. But it's going to become a bigger problem. They've run out of tricks. They've got it down to the minimum. There's going to be a rapid increase in heat density because fundamentally, the closer you can get chips together, the closer you can get processes together, the higher the speed of the processes of the systems. And that's what people are driving for is very high density and high performance data centers. So there's all kinds of other residual effects here. We're seeing the convergence of compute, networking, and storage. Something that we've talked about a lot on Wikibon, on SiliconANGLE. Different types of data are coming into play. I'm talking about video here and audio. David, I know you're big on video, obviously unstructured content and mixed media. And then we've also talked a lot about the communications between processor and memory and IO devices and 10 gigabit E, InfiniBand. It's coming along. We're in Oracle Open World. We know Larry Ellison loves InfiniBand. He's taken an investment in a company called Melanox. And we've now got something new here, which is with 64-bit, you've got practically infinite address spaces, which is supporting these data in memory and what we're calling data in flash, architectures. And we're seeing a move towards scale out designs. They're still scale up. We're going to talk about that in a minute, but scale out is the new hot thing in the data center. And we're seeing that in Web 2.0 and other environments, Facebook and others. Absolutely, yeah. So let's talk about the competitive landscape. John, on theCUBE, we'd love to use sports metaphors. These are the horses on the track. Yeah, and Dave, I mean, to me, it's all about knowing the horse on the track. In the data center, it's very competitive lately and competition has been heating up because we saw things like Juniper having some layoffs, Ritual and their company, the software switch is kind of coming back at the convergence layer. HP's doing really well. Some are doing bad. But what's happening is Cloud's taking over and at the fundamental speeds and feeds of it, which Oracle was all the rage about on the keynote, it's all about what horses are going to win this race. Now, we call it the triple crown. The real triple crown was the PC business. That was the initial, I think the Kentucky Derby Intel won that one, they did pretty well. And then you saw the server business in the data center, multi-core, Sir Plant, the UNIX type Spark and Solaris. Call that the preakness. Now we got the Belmont, the longest of the races. So Intel's the secretariat of the industry. And I believe that they're really going to run a great race and fly in this next race because it's going to be about mobility. It's going to be about that kind of performance. We're talking about stuff that we heard about in-memory stuff, talking about heat, management, all those tools. Intel has literally a great R&D in this area, so I think the prospects look good for Intel. So Mark, I wonder if you could expand that slide for us, because this is sort of the lay of the land here. The champ right now is Intel, the x86 architecture, I guess Intel and AMD, but Intel is the champ. The clear volume and revenue winner. This happens to be, if you can get that slide up there, this happens to be secretariat winning at the Belmont. I don't want to take the analogy too far, but we're not ready to call Intel the winner in the mobile space yet, but that's Ronnie Turcott looking back, 31 lengths. You can see the race for second place going on, if you could put that back up there. And here it is. Is between IBM, PA Risk, and Fujitsu Oracle, and Spark, and David, we're going to talk about that, but in some detail in a moment, but they're going for the largest single process of performance, right? That's the scale up that we were talking about before. Yeah, you need a combination of scale up and scale out, and from the scale out point of view, as you said, x86, and the volume in the server market that Intel have, that's a fantastic story, and that's winning. And they're going very far up in the scale up as well. But certainly IBM have had a very, very fast single processor, 4.25 gigahertz, very well constructed, and that's been the leader in terms of the largest processor, it's the largest chip and processor. They've got a 32-way, which really is an awesome box. So they're going after what are increasingly becoming niche workloads that part of the market. The main frame, yes. And then trailing the pack is HP, Itanium, it's just a matter of time. There's a big war going on between HP and Oracle right now, where Oracle is pulling support. What a lot of people don't know is Oracle's actually going to support Itanium for the next seven years, okay? So, and after seven years, they're not going to fix bugs anymore on Itanium. So there's this big riff going on, and I think that in HP and Intel, of course they've said they're going to support Itanium for 10 plus years, but seven years is a long time. Hopefully by then, most of the bugs will be squashed, but it's not like Oracle's pulling support for Itanium tomorrow, okay? That's an urban legend, all right?  So don't freak out. And in addition to that, the HP and Intel parts of this, they're doing every other cycle in terms of performance. So they are going to be behind the others. It's just a matter of time. And then you've got the fall over here in the picture is ARM. ARM, absolutely. It's really a future player in the data center. Everybody used to laugh at Intel. Ah, Intel is just for PCs, it's a toy. Well, people are maybe saying the same thing about ARM, but Facebook gave a hard-looking ARM, right? Absolutely, a number of the people have looked hard at ARM because it is so going back to heat density. It is so efficient from a heat point of view. So putting these much smaller, cheaper chips in very close proximity was one architecture that's being looked at. And in my view, we are going to see servers at the low end in particular using the ARM technology. They're going to be coming in underneath the X86 umbrella in the server end, but they're not going to have a significant impact on the medium and high end of the marketplace. So I think they are a fall. David, you wrote a piece on Wikibon this week, actually, saying that Oracle was economical with the truth, I believe, is how you said it. Very British way of saying they're stretching the truth and maybe downright misclaiming things. But anyway, here are the facts. The big X is exologic, exadata, exolytics. Exolytics. Run on Xeon today, correct? Correct, yeah. Okay, now having said that, Oracle announced the Spark cluster, the T4 Super Cluster. Yep, Super Cluster, which is the exologic equivalent. Why is that important? Because the key thing that Oracle want to maintain is their customer base. They've got a very loyal customer base running on Solaris. A lot of their install base, 70%, I think they said was running on Solaris and on Spark. That's a lot of customers and a lot of goodwill. So they need to keep those customers. It is expensive and risky if they try and convert them to exologic. It's risky because it's x86 and they can go anywhere. And it's expensive for the customer. So by far the cheapest and most effective way of keeping those customers happy is to keep on turning the crank on the Spark system. That's exactly what HP didn't do when they had their own chip set. They went to Itanium, they left their customers in the lurch with a big conversion issue. So Oracle have got it right in the sense that they've got to put money, got to put effort into keeping that large customer base happy. And then just again to go through the facts. And this is important because Oracle claimed like a zillion world records and number one in everything and every category. And when you wrote a piece, you squinted through there, it's really not the case. It's not the case. Oracle was comparing its latest and greatest with a somewhat outdated configuration. It was using Flash. The other configuration wasn't so it's really tuned. So you have to be careful with these claims. But having said that, the T4 performance is much, much higher than T3. It's about twice. About twice and sometimes it'll be more than twice. And it's about on par with IBM. So in this game of leapfrog, Sun or Oracle has caught up. It's caught up on the processor. Now it's got to put more processes together. But the problem is that now it's IBM's turn to jump. Exactly. So they've got to keep going and they've got to keep going hard. Larry has promised a T5 next year which is going to double the number of, it's going to be an increase in speed and double the number of sockets. So that'll take them on their way. So, but IBM has a very substantial lead in terms of the largest single processor at the moment. Sorry, the largest single system at the moment that can be going. But Oracle can still be successful by keeping their current customers happy. If they do that, then to me they've won a lot. So competing with IBM for that single scale up is the mainframe class. And it's actually conceding the broader market to Intel, right? Yes, yes. All right, here's the watch list. All of the things that are on our watch list. These new workloads are emerging. Hear a lot about them, Cloud, Big Data, Web, Video, they're real, they're certainly real at companies like Facebook. We had Fusion IO on earlier. We saw some amazing action with Facebook there. These are, and others, Apple. Apple announced iCloud availability today. And so, we're really seeing these workloads hit the mainstream data center and managing those workloads will become increasingly important. How you take all these commodity distributed servers and allocate workloads to them is becoming more and more important, isn't it? Absolutely, yes. And then heat density, as you pointed out, is on the rise again. Asheri data shows it flattening out. You have said that's wrong. That's not correct. Yep, very clearly, to me. They've had four or five years of the chips, Intel and everybody else working at this problem, turning things off, trying to cut down the amount of power. A lot of it driven, obviously, by the mobile marketplace. So they've been very successful in that and it's been around 5%, 10%. But it's going to go up again. And these systems that are being produced by Facebook and Apple, et cetera, they need the highest performance possible to deal with these huge databases that they're putting in place. And these databases need to be really real-time. So if I'm using Apple and I buy an app and my wife is on the other side on the same account of the world, she wants to see her app coming down at exactly the same time or the tune that we've bought together. So this type of very, very high-volume, high-speed database is going to take real architecture and real compute power to put together. And it's things like Fusion IO, very flash memory, and putting things very, very close together. They're going to make this possible. And we're seeing Rom Lee come out shortly, so we're watching that. One of the other things we're watching is how CIOs are going to fund the transformation from point A where they are today with a lot of legacy, diverse infrastructure, to point B, which is this new scale-out, new workloads. That's not trivial. There are certain things you can put on Greenfields. There are certain things you can't. That's what we're all about at Wikibon.org. It's peers helping peers solve problems. So come please check out the site, contribute your knowledge, or if you got a question, ask it, go to siliconangle.com. Go to SiliconANGLE.tv. Lots of resources there to help you through these transitions. Thanks for watching this spotlight on the High Performance Data Center, everybody. As I say, check out the sites, check out the resources. You've been a great audience. Keep the questions coming, and we'll be right back from Oracle OpenWorld Live 2011.


Monday you guys, this week fall is starting and I'm so happy for the season change. Like I'm just craving a good fall, crisp day. I'm craving the leaves turning orange. I just love fall so much and I'm so excited to make fall content. It's gonna be so cozy and good. I'm honestly really motivated this week because it is a short week for me. I'm actually leaving on Thursday to Montreal for my cousin's wedding. So it's a short week and those are always just so much more motivating I guess because I'm only doing my routine for three days. So it's like, okay, I really wanna get it done. I wanna work out every day before I go. Yeah, that's the vibes for this week. I had the best sleep last night. I had weird, like the weirdest dreams again but I had such a good sleep and I just feel really well rested. Apparently going to bed at nine to five is like the best sleep hours that you can get in terms of the moon. Apparently you should go to bed before I think it's like 11 or something to get the full or the maximum moon benefits that you can get when you sleep because apparently the way that the moon is like really affects the way that you sleep and the amount of sleep you can get and like how good the sleep is for you. I don't actually know the science behind it. You can search it up but I know for a fact that sleeping from like nine to five is like really good for you because where the moon is or something like that. But anyways, I just feel really, really well rested and that's so good for the start of the week. I'm at Oxygen Yoga and Fitness today about to go in for my class. I'm so excited. It is a arms and butt and leg class today which is like my favorite one. But yeah, I got on my ugg dupes today because just to keep my feet warm it's kind of like a gloomier morning and cold. Got this cute little white-ish workouts that on from Ritzia. Just feeling the cozy fall vibes today. So let's go in to our workout. In the back, thinking on my heels.   Seeing this but you ain't done. I've seen none of you fall in. Drop the song, give these famous bitches love it. I'm a dog, they don't want for me in public. What's the next? Just looking at me for, should be looking at people. How to get love from you and taste it. Cup was up a side down. You're actually done. I hear them. Accidentally sent texts to me and he's like, hey, you have a package here.  Like why is this woman sending packages to her old apartment? Obviously it was just a mistake because I forgot to update my address with the brands. But anyway, so it's been at its place for a while now and he also has an envelope for Joel. Not sure where that is from. He probably just forgot to change his address on something as well. But I barely even like ate breakfast today just because I've been running around all morning. Since I'm gonna be in the area, my friend Lexi lives right near there. So we're going to potentially go thrifting together. I have just been in love with thrifting recently, obsessed with it. I wanna go every day. I feel like fall is just like the perfect time to thrift. Like you can't find better thrift finds, but in fall. So I'm just down to hit the thrift store in like a different city. I brought my iced coffee in an actual glass because I don't really have a need to go cup. So I was like, you know what? I really wanna have a coffee. So we're just bringing it in a class because I mean, the only thing that doesn't make it to go cup is that there's no lid. So whatever, I'm gonna spill it. I have a couple of few busy days before I leave just cause I have some appointments I squeezed in.  Also need to go grocery shopping because we don't have anything for dinner for the next three days because I haven't done a big grocery shop. So an awkward stage with our food right now where we don't have much and we don't even have really anything for dinner. Just kinda need to go and pick up a couple random things just so we can have food to make dinner for the next three days. It's always like such an awkward food phase before you leave on vacation, I feel like. At least for me, like I never know what to do because I don't wanna buy anything and then have it like go to waste in my fridge for when I'm gone. But we're not leaving for long actually. It's just a really, really short trip for the wedding. So it'll be fine if I overbuy a bit but obviously like I just don't wanna buy things that go bad real fast like avocados and stuff like that. Today is fall weather. I got on my fleece sweater and I feel really, really cozy and we're finally getting some cooler weather which is just so nice and it feels more like fall. My favorite type of weather is like when it's sunny and like that crisp fall air. Like I just, I'm obsessed with that. I'm gonna drive now. I'll talk to you guys later. Okay. So I just got back home. I was just out and about all day. I picked up the packages that I needed to get from my old apartment and then I went thrifting. There was this thrift store near where I used to live that I really liked. So I had to stop by there because I was in the area and I went with Lexi. I just picked her up and we went quickly because she had work to get back to. I got some really cute fall things so we'll show you guys in a minute. But then I went to Ikea to return the carpet that I needed to return. And I had to wait 45 minutes in line. I was just shocked because it was 2 p.m. like in the middle of the Monday. Why was it so busy? Who knows? I was kind of shocked when I got there and I saw the waiting time. I'm like 45 minutes for like a one second interaction. That's crazy. I just thought I wasn't going during rush hour. Like I kind of went at that time on purpose. So like I thought I wasn't gonna be busy but apparently people go to Ikea on a Monday in the middle of the day. Like that's pretty common. So anyways, then I just went to Murdy and Meets quickly to pick up something for dinner. I still need to do a tiny, tiny grocery shop which I'll do tomorrow morning. But yeah, that was my day. It's about almost four o'clock now so I'm gonna start dinner soon. It was a pretty fun day. Also, we took Brenno out my dog, like my family's dog out in the morning. I didn't film that. So I just feel like I've been running around all day when I'm used to usually being home. But let me show you guys a thrift haul because I got some really, really cute little home finds slash decor and then I just got a few sweaters but let me show you guys.  I was so excited when I saw this because are you kidding? I can make hot chocolate in here. I can make like an apple cider, something really folly and cute. But I'm gonna put this on my stove as just a decoration because I think that this is beautiful and it kind of looks like one of a kind and I'm just so obsessed. I have been looking for little cute fall like ceramic decorations like this. And I was so surprised to find this. It's just adorable. And then I got this little cute pumpkin mug which I couldn't resist. Just think that this is really adorable and then really random. But this is like a giant mug and it just looks like it's cream and it looks really fall like and it's such a giant mug and I thought of Joel when I bought it because he loves a big mug of coffee in the morning. So this is perfect size for him. I just got to wash everything but perfect size for him and it's just like so fall and I love it. Here's a little haul of the clothing I got. This sweater fits so nicely. Like it just crops and cinches perfectly and it's just a cute quarter zip and it's so cozy, kind of like thick so it's really warm. So I had to get this. I got this vintage guest little sweater thing and I tried it on and it looks so good. I kind of envisioned myself wearing this with like a pair of baggy light wash jeans and then my Uggs with this sweater. I feel like would be just a really, really cute outfit. Really happy that I found this and also I love like a little stripe on the neckline. I think it's just really cool and unique and it's so fall. The last thing that I got thrifting is just this knit. I really liked the color of it and the fit was amazing. Also the neckline was just so perfect so I couldn't resist but it's super soft, good quality, great condition. So yeah, that's my little thrift haul. So I took a shower earlier, I washed my hair, cleaned my body, I shaved and now I'm going to self tan using Loving Tan. This is their new purest collection and this collection is made with 97% certified organic and naturally derived ingredients and you guys know I've been trying to switch to all organic stuff so this is perfect timing. This collection includes the purest Loving Tan mousse. It also includes the tanning lotion and it also comes with pure space tanning serum as well and it also comes with an applicator mitt. This tan is so comfortable and easy to wear when it develops so I really love that about it. So if you guys wanna shop, you could click the link in my description and use my code MikaelaPure. With my code you guys can get a free washout with a purchase from the purest collection. But okay, so let's get tanning. I think I'm gonna do medium today. I'm gonna show you guys how I do it. You wanna make sure you're really well moisturized before putting on your tan. This actually gives you an instant bronzing color. As you can see, that just really acts as like a guide to putting it on so it makes it a lot easier. You wanna make sure to get everywhere and this stuff actually smells really, really good and you guys don't have any gross smell to it. And make sure to buff out your hands nice. And now I'm gonna do my chest. So this L-Tanner actually contains both DHA and an ingredient called arithiolose to eliminate orange tones because most brands only contain DHA and when you get a buildup of low-grade DHA that is what causes the orangey tones. Okay, I just did my upper half. Now for my bag, I'm gonna call Joel to do it for me. So this is directly after applying it. I already look so bronzy. Now we're going to apply their medium-based tanning serum and I'm gonna show you how I do it. So I'm just gonna take my cellar water onto a cotton pad. I don't have any makeup on but I just wanna make sure that my skin is clean. I'm just gonna take the serum, apply it into my hand and kind of rub it a little bit in between my fingers and apply it onto my face. Look at this gua sha that they have. It is so cute. And I'm definitely gonna start incorporating this into my daily routine. Hey guys, so this is 24 hours later. Look at how amazing the tan looks. It is not patchy at all. It's so smooth and it honestly looks like my natural tan. Like you would never know that I sell tans but I'm obsessed with the results. And here's how my face turned out. It's so smooth and my complexion just feels really evened out and nice. Anyway, so if you guys wanna shop Blowing Tans Pure's collection, don't forget to use my coupon code to get yourself a free gift. Everything will be linked in the description along with my coupon code. So honestly, so obsessed with my tan, you guys. Hey guys, so I just finished kind of editing and stuff for the night and it's eight o'clock.  But I guess Amazon is like out there 24 seven. But when the doorbell rang, I was like, who is that? So I ordered a few things. Okay, so a little basic haul before I get ready for bed. But the first thing I got is this hard shell just like a clear MacBook case because I don't have a case on my laptop and I realized that sometimes it's like in a situation where I need to bring it somewhere and it can easily get like scratched and stuff. So I just rather have like a nice basic hard shell case on it so that it's just at least like a little protected. So I just ordered this. I think it was only like $20. I'll link it in my tech section in my Amazon storefront. And then really random, but I got the NYX eyebrow glue. Apparently this stuff is so good. I have been using the Elf brow lift but it just doesn't last all day. It only lasts honestly half an hour. And then my brows are like droopy. It's really weird. So apparently this one is actually like really, really good. So I will update you guys on how I like this one because I'm pretty picky about my eyebrow gel since like most of them don't last a long time. I honestly have high hopes for this one. It was only like $12. So it's like it's worth the try, you know? So for my cousin's wedding on the weekend, I bought these Ardell accent lashes just so I can, if I'm feeling it, wear a little false lash moment. These are only half lashes. So they only go in the outer corners. I don't know how to apply real lashes. So hard for me to do, I've tried before. But these accent ones, they go perfectly on the outer corner and they look so good. I love how they look and it just like kind of takes your makeup to the next level because I don't really do much of my makeup regardless. So I feel like just like adding these at least that's like something different for the wedding and we'll be cute. So that is my little Amazon haul. I have something coming in, I'm pretty sure tomorrow too. It didn't come in this box, but I'm sure you guys wanna get that cause it's really cute. But yeah, this is my little haul of the night. I'm just gonna go get ready for bed now. Good morning you guys. It is currently around 6.40 and it's so much darker today than most mornings I think because today is gonna be a gloomy day. So the sun isn't really gonna come out. So it's just like super gloomy right now. But I was literally like, where is the brightness? Like usually just yesterday it was like bright. And I was like, is it just because it's getting into fall but I think it's just cause it's like a gloomy day today and I'm not, we're not used to it. Sorry for the lighting because I know it's like super dark but I wasn't actually gonna do a workout today because normally I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday but since I am leaving later this week I still wanna be able to fit in three workouts. So I'm gonna be working out three days in a row Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday because I just feel like I wanna challenge myself and a lot of people ask me like why I wake up so early when I don't have to. But the honest answer to that question is that I have a lot of goals in this lifetime that I wanna accomplish. I just feel like by doing this I am stepping into the best version of myself. I'm challenging myself every day and I'm building discipline within myself and it's just such a rewarding feeling and it puts me one step closer every single day to accomplishing my goals. Gives me more time in the day and it really just like my body feels amazing. Every single thing that you do on a daily basis might not seem like a lot but over time it compounds and it becomes everything.  And so think about that but with any really thing you do in your life it's like even working 30 minutes a day on something even though it might not seem like a lot over time it compounds and it does make a huge difference. Just a year goes by so fast. Like if you started something a year ago today imagine how far you could have been when a year just feels like yesterday when you think back to this time a year ago. In the moment it might seem hard but in the grand scheme of things it's like you're gonna thank yourself for showing up for yourself every day and being the best version of yourself because why not? Why not aim to be the and strive to be the best version of yourself every single day? I just crave structure and discipline in my life because without it I just don't function properly I feel lazy. I'm obviously not trying to promote toxic productivity because that's one thing but I'm just like saying it's really really good to have goals, ambitions and just really try to show up as the best version of yourself. Anyways, I got this workout romper on that I got from Oritzia. I love it so much. It's so butter soft. This is like my favorite romper ever but I'm gonna head into my class I will see you guys when it's over.  I just stopped off at the store on the way home from my workout just because before we leave I needed a couple of things so I'm gonna give you guys a bit of a haul right now So I just got some organic eggs We usually get them from Costco but I just needed to get like a 12 pack for before we leave since we're running out and then I got some pumpkin pie spice I'm so excited to use this I'm gonna make a pumpkin spice latte this morning after I shower and eat but I will show you guys the recipe in a bit and then I just got some peppermint tea because I have been craving it recently and then I just got some organic bacon and I ended up buying some almond milk I usually make homemade almond slash cashew milk and everything I haven't actually bought any milk in a while but I have no milk right now and the problem is is homemade milk goes bad really, really fast So if I make it and then we leave on our trip it's just gonna spoil in the fridge So since these ones last so much longer I'm just gonna use this before we leave and then when we come home I'll just finish it off and then continue making my homemade milk but just for the time being, I bought this one It looks good, it's vanilla It has a whole bunch of additives and stuff in it but it's okay once in a while and then I just picked up some Coke zivias but yeah, that's a little mini haul this morning Here's what I made for breakfast this morning I did a classic hash browns, eggs and bacon I just shredded the hash browns and fried them on the pan but oh my goodness, this looks so good and I just love a good classic breakfast that you would get at a restaurant and there's lots of protein in here, which is good Okay, so let's make this pumpkin spice latte I'm gonna make it hot because I just feel like a cozy drink today but I'm just gonna start off with a half a cup of almond milk I'm actually gonna heat this up on the stove just because I've been trying to avoid the microwave I might have to add more milk because this is like nothing but this is what the recipe calls for so we're just following that first Okay, so first thing it says add is a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened pumpkin puree I'm just gonna kind of eyeball this and then to sweeten it I'm just gonna add in some maple syrup and it says to add in one to two teaspoons just like depending on how sweet you like it I kind of could eyeball that for myself and then I don't have vanilla but if you have vanilla you can add it and then I'm just gonna open this pumpkin spice that I bought today and you just have to add in a quarter teaspoon My milk is now warmed up on the stove and I'm just gonna add it to the ingredient take a hand frother and then just mix it Oh! Now I'm just gonna put this under my espresso machine and then brew a double shot into it Now look at how pretty this looks I'm just gonna mix it all in now and I think I'm gonna add a bit more milk just a little bit Okay, I'm gonna taste it Oh my God, that is actually so good you guys 10 out of 10 recommend that you guys make this Cheers to homemade pumpkin spice latte Okay, I didn't actually expect it to taste this good though If you want, even add like some cinnamon on top or whipped cream that would be so good I just don't have any but this feels so cozy right now I'm just gonna drink this and probably read my book right now So much better, my hair was so disgusting because of my workouts so much for my forehead when I do the infrared workouts and it just feels so nice and clean Yeah, I curled it because I haven't done curls in a while but we're heading downtown I have an appointment and then we're gonna go shopping because Joel needs a dress shirt for the wedding I invited it to this brand called Public Miss they actually invited me to come into their store so after my appointment we're just gonna head there because it's downtown in the same area so it's perfect timing for shopping so that's with my UGGs and then a knit and just my white shirt just little classic simple fall outfit In Vancouver, they are sustainably made from bamboo and their stuff is so, so soft and so nice and he just like cares a lot about his brand and the sustainability and everything that goes into it but yeah, it was just such a great experience and it's really cool to see like an in-house Vancouver made brand especially because I love working out and I'm always in like athletic wear Hey guys, so I just got back doing everything downtown what I got done today is I got a lip flip if you guys don't know what a lip flip is it's like the most minuscule thing ever but for me, I just noticed that it makes a big difference so basically what a lip flip is is you just get like four units of Botox which is like so tiny like it's just a tiny bit of Botox right above like your upper lip it doesn't go in your lip it just goes right above and what this does is it kind of pulls the muscle of your lip up it gives the effect of a fuller lip without having to do lip injections there's no commitment to it because the Botox fades within like two months so it doesn't last very long I've gotten it done before but I really, really do like the results when I get it honestly, I don't know what's in Botox don't know if it's actually good for you could be poison like who really knows I guess they done medical research on it but I don't really have the desire or want to get Botox anywhere else I just really like the effect that it gives my lip because what it basically does is it like pushes it up so that when you smile your lip doesn't disappear because before getting the lip flip done when I smile, my lip like goes underneath and it just, I don't know it just like encourages me to smile more and it's nothing like I don't need to get this done but it just like the only thing that I've really ever done cosmetically that makes me feel confident when I smile and everything and it just gives the appearance of like fuller lips which I really like and it's still like my natural lips it's just pushed up a little bit so it's only $40 like it's nothing huge at all super cheap to do but yeah, I just like it personally never gotten lip injections or anything else done before but lip flip is just like perfect for me I really, really like it the last time I got it done was like so long ago maybe like eight months ago but I just do it kind of every now and then but yeah, and oh also you don't you're not gonna see a difference like right now my lip doesn't it doesn't actually take full effect for like a week so it's kind of like a waiting game but nobody really notices like Joel if I didn't tell Joel he would never even notice because at the end of the day like whether you get your hair done whether you get lip injections whatever it is that you want to do you're not doing it for other people if you're doing it for yourself so even if nobody notices like it doesn't even matter but yeah, if you guys are interested in getting a lip flip in Vancouver I will link Angela who did it for me in my description and make sure if you go you mentioned my name but yeah, so we just got home I'm just on the couch right now I have to make dinner this is like the time of day where I don't feel like doing anything I'm honestly just having a period cramps right now because I'm on my period unfortunately and I'm just not feeling the best I was going to like I said do a workout tomorrow cause I wanted to do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday my body is telling me no my period is just not very good like you have to have balance like I said earlier this morning I want to be disciplined and like, you know, achieve my goals and all that but when something like this like being on my period gets in the way like there's nothing that I can do about that and it's just your body telling you like look, you have to rest there's a difference between being lazy and like listening to your body knowing that you have to rest we're definitely not working up tomorrow I just feel like I'm gonna do harm rather than good like when you push yourself in these situations where your body is telling you no then I honestly think you're doing more harm than good because your body needs the rest so I'm glad that I did go today this morning because at least I got two workouts in this week it's not the end of the world even if I did no workouts and I would just like had period cramps the whole time you shouldn't feel guilty about that either because you're listening to your body and that's a good thing like that's actually the healthier thing to do, you know but anyways, I'm just like cushioned in the couch right now and it's so cozy cause I can like hear the rain outside I love the vibes of the rain today feeding my fall autumn soul right now and I just love it I'm gonna probably well dinner it's just like in the oven and stuff I'm definitely gonna cozy up on the couch earlier when I was reading with my coffee I put like rain sound effects like a fall ambient thing on the TV and it was just so nice but now it's actually naturally happening outside so it's beautiful but anyways, gonna get myself up and make some dinner so I just got this PR package from summer Fridays I'm just gonna open it up quickly with you guys they sent me their new rich cushion cream and I'm so excited to try it I've heard great things about it and I love how it's unscented because I can't do scent for my skin cause it's sensitive and I have eczema but the formula seems so creamy so I'll use this probably tomorrow or tonight and I'll let you guys know how I like it but thank you so much, summer Fridays that's so sweet and I can't wait to use it they're just such a good brand they always deliver here is our dinner today I just put together some yam fries I just cut up some yams and drizzled them with oil and put salt on them and then this is just some cod and then I made this sauce with mayo and hot sauce mixed together but yeah, it's so simple just an easy dinner cause I honestly have no energy but it looks so good you guys so even though I didn't end up going to the gym this morning doing a workout I still woke up early at the same time that I normally do because I have a lot to get done today I haven't even started packing yet so I need to start packing because we're leaving tonight to go to my family's house and sleep over there because me, Joel, Madison, my sister and her boyfriend Connor we're all flying out together tomorrow so we're gonna have a little sleep over tonight so that we can all go to the airport in the morning together but yeah, there's just a lot to get done today I need to pack I need to finish editing because these videos are coming at you guys so live like I do not pre-film I don't really pre-edit either I kind of just film my week and then post it on Sunday so since I do like really real time videos like that it's a lot harder for me to take days off because I need to make sure that I'm staying consistent with my editing throughout the week and also staying consistent with filming so I need to get a lot of editing done today because I want to finish this whole first half of the video that I already filmed I want to just get it edited so that I have minimal work to do when we're in Montreal for the wedding because obviously I want to spend as much time as I can with our family and stuff because most of all my cousins live in Montreal and so we haven't seen them in like four years so I'm really excited to see everybody obviously and I want to do like as minimal work as possible I'm still going to have to edit like a tiny bit there but I just want to get as much as I can done before we go but yeah, so with that being said I don't really know what the rest of the video is going to look like after today but we'll see what kind of content I get I'm definitely going to film tomorrow on the airport and everything but we'll see it's going to be different because I do want to bring you guys along since I'm filming Monday to Friday now yeah, so I got to pack and edit and I know editing is going to take me so long and also before we leave I want to just like really clean the house so that we can come back to a fresh nice house because I hate going on vacation and coming back to like a messy environment I want it to be super clean I want to wash the bed sheets I want to do on my laundry I want to clean the kitchen just to make sure everything's vacuumed the bathroom's cleaned and so I have to do that that's probably going to be like the last thing that we do but yeah, I just was editing while drinking my morning coffee it is currently right now it's 11 so I was editing for a while and I still did like a bit of my morning routine but we are not working out we're doing anything today because my body first of all is so sore second of all, I'm on my period so my energy is just like so low already as it is and I just need to put all my energy today towards everything I got to do but yeah, that's a plan for today I am trying to I'm going to try to pack into a carry on I honestly don't know if that's going to be possible I might end up just bringing a full luggage but I just want to pack as light as I can just so it's like convenient and easy, you know but I don't actually know if that's going to happen because I feel like I have a feeling I'm going to have to actually bring a big luggage so we'll see but I really want to be strategic on how I pack I want to plan like what I'm going to wear so that I'm not overpacking because every single time I go on a trip without fail I overpack to the max and I don't know how to not overpack so what I'm going to try to do to prevent that is like plan all my outfits beforehand because since it's fall now it's not like I can just throw some summer shorts and like tank tops in my luggage it has to actually be like pants and shirts and sweaters and maybe a jacket so I actually kind of have to plan more packing for anything really but summer it's like you have to pack a lot more and things are just heavier and bigger like jeans and stuff so who knows we'll see what I end up doing for my packing if I end up bringing my big luggage but the goal is not to so we'll see, no promises on that one but yeah, so I actually have my laundry right now just finishing up drying I did it very like early bright when I woke up this morning because I wanted to be like dry and ready for me to start packing so once the laundry is done I'm going to start packing and then I don't know I just have a list of stuff on my phone that I need to do yeah, we'll see how the day goes but I will update you guys on everything and like of course my period has to come before I go like I just hate packing pads and stuff because it just takes like extra room but it is what it is right it can't really I can't really prevent our plan that so it's out of my control that's like one of the things that I'm trying really trying to work on is like things that are out of your control you just have to realize you can't do anything about them so like don't stress about things that you can't control cause there's no point in doing that it's out of your hand so it's like what's stressing about it gonna do if anything is just gonna put negative vibes towards it so anything that's out of my control I really have been making an effort of just like it is what it is, you know I can't do anything about it so anyways okay, I'm going to undo my laundry now it's gonna be done in a couple minutes fold everything and then I guess I'm just gonna start packing now and then I'll finish like my video editing cleaning later when I'm done my packing cause I just kinda wanna get this over with so let's do it packing is always fun like the idea of packing is always fun but then once you actually start packing you're like okay this is a bit hard because I just like I get so indecisive okay anyways it's a skill also you guys snooze by SZA with Justin Bieber it's so good I'm obsessed his voice just fits the song so well would definitely recommend to listen to it so I just opened this package from Amazon you guys look at how cute I'm gonna use both of them for packing right now but how cute this print is just so fall and I feel like this fall red is really in and I don't know this is adorable with the little bears and the flowers and I love them so much it comes with a little mini and then a bigger one but I'll have these linked in my Amazon storefront so go check them out because how cute I'm actually obsessed so here's all the things that I think I'm going to pack do we think that it's gonna fit in the carry on? I am not sure because I still have my cosmetic bags and everything but I really made an effort to lay everything out and to make sure that everything here is reusable I could wear a lot I just did basic long sleeve, basic t-shirts and then I just have two tank tops three pairs of pants, sweatpants, sweaters yeah, a hat, that's basically it because it doesn't need to be anything fancy I just gotta bring my wedding dress and worry about that but other than that we're just basically chilling the whole time so it doesn't really matter so yeah, I think this is pretty much good but I don't know how everything is gonna fit so we're gonna have to see because I wanna bring a pair of shoes as well so I don't know, it's not looking too promising but I feel like I did really, really good with the packing so far okay, so here is how my carry on is I don't know if I'm gonna be able to bring this extra sweater because things are looking pretty tight but I'm gonna try to close this right now and see if I can fit it and I will update you guys but I'm so proud of myself I don't know how I did it, it's a miracle here she is, she's pretty small and I fit so much in it I'm so happy this luggage is from Hayes by the way I will link it down below I think I deserve a round of applause for this I actually can't believe I did this I'm so proud of myself I'm actually so happy right now so I'm just about to leave the house we're gonna go sleep over at my family's today with Connor and Madison and just have a fun night before we leave we're set it's to go on the trip and we're officially leaving the house so today was honestly such a busy day though from five a.m. when I woke up until now I have been like nonstop working because I had to edit so much and we cleaned the whole entire house we packed which took hours to laundry but it feels so good because our house is like spick and spam and we're all packed up so I never thought that I would actually get here but we're here so it feels so good got my bag this is like my little personal item bag I just have my laptop and stuff in here it's perfect size and it's like pretty small but it fits what I need it to fit so it's good um oh can you see can you see can you see can you see


Hello, everyone. Good night. Good morning. I'm Liubin from AntGrobe, and it's my pleasure to give a talk about the new CataContinuous tool and the observability in CataContinuous. Observability has become the key character of the cloud-native infrastructure. CataContinuous tool also takes observability into account and eight to one CataContinuous in enterprise production environment. In this topic, we will introduce how observability integrated in CataContinuous is special metrics, the basic and important part of observability. And here is the major agenda. First, I will give a brief introduction of CataContinuous and what's new in CataContinuous tool. Next, we will see what's observability, why we need it now, and the parts of observability. Last, we will check out the detailed metrics implementation in CataContinuous tool. What's CataContinuous? CataContinuous is an open infrastructure project of OpenStack Foundation. CataContinuous has a container runtime like RunC or Docker to better understanding. But the new idea of CataContinuous makes it different from RunC as that CataContinuous is a VM-based container runtime. CataContinuous provides a way of isolating containers or cloud with security comparable to virtual machines but not have a performance overhead like traditional full virtual machines. CataContinuous can run on mainstream CPU architectures including x86 ARM and PowerPC. Also, CataContinuous supports many VMM like QML, cloud hypervisor, and fair cracker. The most important is that CataContinuous supports all the container specs like OCI, CRI, and CNI, CSI, and work perfectly with CIO, Continuity, and Kubernetes. This page shows a bigger difference between VM-based containers and shared kernel containers runtime like RunC. In traditional containers at the core, containers are just processed running on the same host and all containers share the same host kernel. Isolation is achieved by kernel features like name spaces and C groups as used to do resource control. That's the biggest security threat attacker breaks out of the container. He will be on the host, in fact, and be the root user. To reduce the attack surface, we must use Linux capabilities to restrict privileges to avoid running with full-router privileges. Another choice is using psychocommap profiles to use fine-grained Cisco, blocking filter and accounting. User name space can be used to map root user inside the containers to an unproved user. But CataContinuous can be rescued from these threats. CataContinuous provides virtualization isolation layer to help run multi-tenant container deployment in a more security manner than running containers natively on bare metal. Here is the features of CataContinuous. CataContinuous runs in a dedicated Linux kernel, providing isolation of network IO, memory, and can use hardware-enforced isolation with virtualization VT extensions. CataContinuous has compatible ability like RunC, support industries, standards, including OCI container format, Kubernetes, CRI interface, as well as legacy virtualization technologies. Though CataContinuous uses VIM, but it can deliver consistent performance as standard Linux containers, increases isolation without the performance text of standard virtual machines. The speed of containers, the security of VIMs, this means the user should not care about the performance overhead and use the minimal resources by runtime itself. Why isolation is important? Basically, we can say that containers are processes running in isolated sandbox, but isolation is not only limited to process isolation nowadays. Besides security isolation, performance and failure isolation is becoming more and more important for large and multi-tenant clusters which run in workloads of diversity. Security isolation can reduce the attack surface against the host system. The host kernel don't need to schedule the guest threads, therefore, there is a less impact between containers running with different workloads or from different users. Failure isolation is an important tool because different containers are using different kernels. Even if one application triggered a kernel panic, it won't affect other containers running on the same host. This can keep users' workload safe from other users' failure. And the most exciting thing is that CataContinuous works perfectly with Kubernetes. Kubernetes supports multiple container runtimes in a single cluster or one node. For example, you can use RunC and CataContinuous on the same node. The work runtime sometimes makes people confused. In fact, there are two types of runtimes, the high-level runtimes and low-level runtimes. High-level runtimes mean maintenance of the entire lifecycle of a container. For example, downloading images from an image repo, managing running containers, the real work of starting or stopping a container as done by low-level container runtimes. Container D is the most used high-level container runtimes. And another choice is CIO. BOSS is supporting CRI, so BOSS can work with Kubernetes. Low-level container runtime is responsible for creating and deleting containers and implement container runtime spike defined by OCI. The most used lower runtime as RunC. Of course, others include the divisor and CataContinuous. CataAgent has one component running inside the PoweredStandbox, as a guest OS, and communicates with CataSheem through TTRPC protocol using a VSocket connection. CataAgent works like a low-level runtime in guest OS, responsible for managing containerless lifecycle. And CataContinuous is also responsible for VM-based containerless specific works. For example, device hard plug and updated resources dynamically. So next, we will go on to the main topic, talking something about the new CataContinuous tool. One of the most big changes is a rewrite over CataContinuous agent to help reduce the attack surface and reduce overhead. The agent was rewritten in Rust and used a lower-level version called the TTRPC to reduce the memory. The main benefit users will see that memory usage reduced from 11 megabits to 300 kilobits. This release also added support for the cloud hypervisor VMM up to the same level of support SQL. And also, in CataContinuous, to VSocket has been the default communication protocol. And the word IOFS becomes the default fair sharing mechanism to improve performance. Also, CataContinuous tool offers significant improvements around oversurability and manageability. CataContinuous now provides metrics about the runtime itself, the VMM as well as the guest kernel, the agent in the guest. All the metrics are in permission format. This will help OPS or SRE with understanding the infrastructure impact of running CataContinuous and will help users and the developers to better understand the workload performance. CataContinuous introduced a new tool called the CataAgent CTL. This tool can make a developer happy when debugging the agent API and call agent inside the guest OS. And it is celebrated that the CataContinuous tool will be released. Now let's see what's oversurability. First, we will review the official definition of cloud native before we talk about oversurability. From this definition, we can see that cloud native will suggest some technical approaches like containers, storage smashes, immutable infrastructure, and make a service. The second paragraph describes the ideal system attributes for cloud native technologies like loosely coupled automation, manageable, and also observable. So we can see that the observability as a key index for cloud native technologies. And here this page shows the key attributes for cloud native infrastructure. The first and important is that cloud native applications should be packaged as lightweight containers that can scale out rapidly. And elastic infrastructure can achieve availability and scalability, but that will be beyond the scope of this topic. Needless to say, one of the best technologies is Kubernetes for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of containers. And now this observability as gaining attention in the software world. A system as observable developers can understand its current state from the outside to have engineers to deliver excellent customer experience rapidly and frequently in modern complexity IT technologies and environment. There are a lot of definitions of out there as to what the word observability means. It might mean different things to different people for someone as just about logs, metrics, or traces. The word observability originally comes from engineering and control theory from linear dynamic systems. A generally accepted definition of observability as a measure of how well internal status of a system can be inferred from knowledge of external outputs. The observability and controllability of a system are mathematical deals. In software world, control is equal to operations or management. In the software world, observability means getting realisation and analysis of metrics, events, logs, and traces, giving you the ability to examine and understand the system state. Let's you understand how they are behaving and performing when and where and why something goes wrong. But observability is about much more than the collected data. The goal of observability is not to collect logs, metrics, or traces. Like DevOps, it's not only tools or technology, but also includes a process in one organisation. And it's to build a culture of engineering based on observability and controllability. There are four pillars of observability. First, the metrics represent time series management. Metrics are low overhead to collect, cheap to store, and can be aggregated and has a dimensional data structure for quick analysis and easily processed. Events are critical, but often overlooked data in observability are similar to logs, but events have a higher level of abstraction. There are many types of events, alert events, events, deployments are events, and the failed user request or system errors are all events. Events are valuable because we can use them to confirm that a particular time, when a particular action occurred. Logs record all the execution in your application, and almost all software systems can emit log data. The most common use case for logs is for getting a detailed play by play record of what happened in a particular time. When things go wrong, logs show the error or exceptions. Structured log data is formatted especially to be passed by a program. Structured log data makes it either faster to search and to search the data, and generated events are metrics from the logs. The last part is tracing. Traces represent a single request to the system. Traces are valuable in a distributed architecture to show the end-to-end latency of RPC calls. The relationships between service or entertainings. Traces enable engineers to find bottlenecks with the specific parts of the execution part or identify errors. Before Cata, before Cata Continuous 2, JR has a number of limitations related to the observability that may be overscurred to running Cata Continuous at scale. Cata Continuous implement CRS API and support two interfaces to expose continuous metrics, the continuous data and the least continuous data API. Using this interface, we can only get the basic metrics about containers. The metrics as a container-centric and only include the CPU time memory usage and file system usage. It's hard to say that through these metrics, we can assert and influence the container as health or running into troubles. In Cata Continuous 2, metrics as the first class cities and also there are some strict restrictions in metrics implementations. First, the metrics should not become the bottleneck of a system and downgrade the performance and must run with a minimal overhead. And the metrics should not make Cata Continuous complexity for deployment should avoid using traditional metrics collector or aggregate agent. In Cata Continuous 2, metrics are collected mainly from file system and then consumed by permission server based on a pool mode. That is mean if there is no permission server collector as running, so there will be zero overhead info nobody cares about the metrics. We chose the permission the industrial standard for metrics exposing collection and aggregation solution. Permission as a graduated project from CNCIFU and widely used. Permission has a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and option key value pairs which we should call the labels. Permission also supports the service discovery to find the target where to put metrics from. This is flexible when a target changes dynamically and frequently especially for Kubernetes cluster. Metrics in Cata Continuous 2 covers all complement of Cata Continuous including the container D-Sheem V2 process, hyperratheraesthetics and the VMM aesthetics. The agent running inside the guest OS and the guest OS aesthetics. The first step over the ability as to cover all the aspects in a complexity system. This page shows the metrics pipeline in Cata Continuous 2. Cata monitor is used to collect metrics from container D-Sheem V2 process from the same node or do a basically aggregation work. Finally, a permission server will pull metrics from Cata monitor. Container D-Sheem Cata process provide metrics about itself and hyperratheraesthetics running on the host. Agent is responsible for gather metrics inside the VMM including agent process metrics, guest OS metrics. In the next comment page, I want to show some green step shorter of the Cata Continuous metrics of 2. First as metrics for Cata monitor process itself, we can see some operation metrics for example the script count, how many times the pulling metrics request as the issue and how many are failed. The running she must represent the running pose, the running pose number. Also metrics of the GoRoutines number, the used memory, the open failed descriptor count are collected. Here is show the metrics of container D-Sheem Cata V2 process, the main process in Cata Continuous runtime. Besides the basic metrics, we also collect RPC latency metrics for CRI interface and the agent interface. Using this data, we can easily calculate the P99 or P50 average for the RPC cost. This page shows the metrics about the agent process that running inside the guest OS. And last, we will check the performance and overhead concern for some users. We collect many metrics for one sandbox that will add more than 70 time series. Another GZ size is 7 kilobytes one request. The end-to-end for permission server scribe operation as under 20 million seconds. And as RPC call for get metrics from agent as 3 million seconds. We can see this will not introduce distinct overhead even in production elements. Assange for your other lesson for listening to this topic. I have only did a very basic introduction for Cata Continuous 2 under the observability aspect of it. And here shows the more information about Cata Continuous issues for Cata Continuous repo as always welcome. At last, thanks again for your watching. Thanks.

Hey, welcome back to Think Tech, talking tax with Tom on a Wednesday. Hi, Tom. Hi, Jay. That's Tom Yamachiki, president of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii. They watch our taxes. But in so doing, they watch fiscal policy too. Okay. It's all about taxing and spending, and it's got to be in balance. Matter of fact, the constitution at least theoretically, the state constitution at least theoretically requires that. Yeah, it doesn't say so explicitly, but there's been a kind of a gloss on it that certain words can say you need to have a balanced budget. Right. And that has been, I think, one of the problems that at least last year, when I wrote about the situation, we had a state financial plan. I don't know if you're familiar with it, but we have a state financial plan. And the state financial plan pegged us for spending in excess of what we were receiving for three or four years in a row, like $200 million in the red every year. So 2019, $200 million, 2020, $260 million, 2021, another $200 million, 2022, they go back to $100 million, only $100 million. Be thankful for the small things. That's correct. Yes. And that's not really acceptable, because we're not that healthy anyway. We have a huge number for unliquidated liabilities, and I remember we had a program, I think I got a program in Fuller Hall in the women's Y a few years ago, where we explored exactly how stable the state, and a lot of our experts felt that the ultimate unpaid liability here was going to be huge.  And that includes the cost of repatriating the homeless. It includes the cost of handling certain issues which we promised to handle. And I don't think actually it included the cost of dealing with extreme weather, which could be devastating, and which could require a lot of money, and we can't be sure that it's going to come from Washington. Look how most recently federal government, that is Donald Trump, stopped funding for Puerto Rico. Even though Puerto Rico is in terrible, terrible shape, and it has never recovered from Maria. So we can't assume that somebody's going to write a big check. Somebody's going to come and do FEMA with us. Somebody's going to rebuild our society after extreme weather. And chances are, one of these days, maybe even this summer, we could have extreme weather. So you have all these unfunded liabilities and no cushion. This is a big problem, don't you think? Oh, of course. I've kind of been looking at the situation. And I kind of, vision hold our big problems into the three P's. One of the three P's is pension. And what I mean by that is, we have made these big promises to our state workers, not only to give them pension, but also to cover their health care in some cases for as long as they live. Huge. And that was one of the elements of that $40 billion, by the way. Well, I'm sure it was. We also, just to be doubly sure, we passed a constitutional amendment, I think was back in the 70s or so, saying that these benefits to our state workers will not be diminished. Period.  And the only way we can change that is through another constitutional amendment. Lots of luck. And HGEA would oppose the second constitutional amendment. Well, of course it would. And as well as probably every other organized labor organization in the state. But what that highlights is that we have this obligation for what we have promised for workers after their employment end. We have this constitutional provision that locks it in place. So even if we make changes now, they would only apply to new hires. And it would not have any appreciable financial effect for, you know, five, 10, 15, 20 years. Well, you know, this has been expanding as a problem for a long time. I mean, it's not like there's any rule out there that says you can only hire X number of state employees. Remember the thing, oh, God, I remember so well, the big argument a few years ago. How many state employees do we have? Nobody could answer it. And there's no rule. There's no rule about what percentage of the labor force should be working for the state or the city. And that points up to another big problem. And one of the big, big problems has been who knows how much money the state has. There are a lot of people who don't know, and the reason is because the money isn't in one place. It's in special funds, as well as in the general accounts. The methods for dealing with and or accounting for special funds are varied and, you know, sometimes not consistent. Sometimes the departments fail to report them like they're supposed to. They're holding a little something for themselves, isn't it? I mean, it's not just an error. It's not an oversight. It's just, they just own a whole little rainy day money for themselves, isn't it true? That's what it seems like. I mean, you never know what the actual motivations are, but so, you know, one question is, how much money does the state really have? Yeah. You know, after you answer that question, then maybe you can kind of get to, well, are we spending it properly or are we spending too much? Well, and is it accessible, you know, for the state in general? It's essentially hidden. Linda Lingle, we talked about this last show. Linda Lingle had an initiative to try to find it. I don't think she ever found it, maybe some of it, but there's a lot of money out there where if you're the governor and you say, gee, we need to dig deep. We need to get the special fund money. We need all of it now for a special emergency, okay? It's not clear what would happen. It's not clear that we'd have access to it. Yeah.  The issue orders to these departments. The departments have a lot of civil service people, and a lot of them have the mentality of, oh, well, you're here now. I'm here now. In four years, you will be gone and I'll still be here. I've seen that. I've seen that personally. Extraordinary. It's like, I'm comfortable. It doesn't matter what you do. I can outlast you. So I'm not going to listen. Right. So that's the first P tensions, and around that there are some very, very serious issues about kind of counting what we have and where we have it. Yeah. So this is a problem because, and I'll just take the one thing that troubles me most, although the Employee Retirement System troubles me greatly, I mean, we, oh, how much was it? It was billions. It was several billion dollars in arrears on paying the required contributions into the Employee Retirement System. And that's not even as big as the EUTF, the Employee Union Trust Fund. That's different. Right. That's another one. Right. It's bigger. Yeah. It's a huge amount of money. I guess let's focus on that just for a minute. So if I'm in the union, if I'm a state employee or a retired state employee, and I realize this is going to affect the ability of the state and those funds to pay my retirement to take care of my medical, what have you, which was promised to me. And I've worked all these years in reliance on that promise. And it's not going to be there. We're coming to that. We really think we're coming to that. What do I do? Who do I go to? Who do I sue? What do I say? How do I get the government to correct this? How do I get to correct this? What do I do? Well, I think your best bet is to do nothing because a lot of people think, you know, this is like a problem with, you know, if the government's not going to pay me, you know, I'm entitled to the money. I'm going to sue for it.  But, you know, the fact that the government may not have enough money in the present is not my problem. Okay? You got to pay me. Constitution says that. You got to pay me. If you've got other problems, you know, it's not my call. I'm the priority. Constitutionally. Yeah. I'm the priority. Which is, you know, that's nice if there is enough money somehow available. Okay. Now, go to the thing I worry about most and I worry about extreme weather. I worry about the Puerto Rico scenario. I worry about the possibility of the island, this island, you know, the center of the state, the headquarters of the state, the business center of the state will be wrecked in a storm.  Our buildings, our infrastructure, all of the things that connect everything up will be gone or damaged to the point where we can't pay. And we'll be far away from any help. That's what I worry about. I mean, for example, if some critical piece of equipment goes in our infrastructure and it was made in Germany, how are we going to get it here? How are we going to install it? How long will that take? You know, this is pretty serious. How much will it cost? Who's going to pay when there's no revenue, when tourism stops cold, right? Right. We could be in such dire straits to make Puerto Rico look great. So, you know, when that happens, where do we dig? Do we have a special fund for that? We have a little rainy day money for that? Where do I get? Where does the state get the money to handle that? In theory, we have a rainy day fund. What? What is it? That's what it's called, a rainy day fund. Okay. Sorry. I'm just kind of getting educated here. Yeah. Deposits are made to it every time we have excess money. The Constitution requires that if we have, you know, a fund balance surplus in, I think, two years in a row of a certain percentage, then we either have to feed unfunded liabilities. We have to make a deposit in the rainy day fund or we issue refunds to the taxpayer. Okay. In this past session, we passed a bill to do the second of the three, and that is to make a contribution into the rainy day fund. I think it was, you know, I don't know, $5 million. Penance. Yeah. I mean, it would cost billions to fix Humpty. That's right. So, where do we get the bit? Does the rainy day fund have billions? No, but Uncle Sam does. I mean, I think that's the theory. You're making a big assumption that FEMA will come through that President Trump, who doesn't like Hawaii very much. It's a democratic stronghold. But it's still a state. I think that's the one thing we have over Puerto Rico. They're not a state and we are. That's comforting, Tom. Yeah. I hope that's something we don't have to rely on, but we can rely on that. So, you know, in terms of the council on revenues, that whole mechanism that tells us what the budget should be, does that build in rainy day fund too? In other words, they say, well, council on revenue thinks that we're going to get this much in tax receipts this year. So, we should actually spend X dollars, less Y dollars, and put Y dollars in the rainy day fund. Well, they don't do that. What COR does is estimates the revenue that's coming in. I mean, that's pretty much all they do. What they do with it is the legislature's going on. And to a lesser extent, the governor is because he needs to sign off on the budget bill. Well, it strikes me that I'm casting about for a mechanism that would protect us, that would handle these 40 billion plus, plus, plus coming up. What did I hear on the radio yesterday that per capita we have the highest number of homeless in the country? Per capita. Pretty serious. I mean, who's to say who they are, where they came from, what their life is like, what the government can do, is doing, should do, you know, to support them and repatriate them. But it seems to me that the numbers are increasing. And over time, it's a threat to our society, the stability of our society. Not only in Oahu, but all the islands. Well, I guess the blessing and the curse that we have is it's, you know, warm and habitable all year round. If you're homeless and in New York City, and it's the wintertime, you may not survive the winter. And that's how we get rid of a lot of the homeless, I guess.  I've talked to homeless people. They really like it here. This is a really, really good place. So, you know, I'm just, I'm wondering, you know, whether there's a tipping point on the homeless. I mean, right now we kick the can down the road. And we make political statements and speeches, and we have iconic projects that really are not calculated to handle it. You know, they say that 15,000 homeless is probably more. And a lot of it is not in the hands of government. It's in the hands of private nonprofits. And that may not be enough. And, you know, if you give money, well, that's an optional thing. We need a system. And the question is if we don't have a system and we reach a tipping point, we call it a societal stability tipping point, where instead of 15,000 or 20,000, whatever it is, now we have 30,000 or 40,000 or 100,000. This really undermines, you know, law and order, and stability and the economy if we have this. Furthermore, we're a tourist economy. Our, my far, our most important industry is tourism. Well, having a homeless guy or woman on the steps of your hotel, you know, I remember going to Manila one time. That's what they had on the steps of the hotel. It's not good for business. It's not good for business. And it would diminish the tourist business and the brand, you know, over the long term. So it's become really critical for us. It is really critical for us to handle the homeless right here, right now. We're not doing it. So that's another one of the four P's, protect the brand, right? Yeah, yeah. We have assets here in Hawaii that give us our income. We have, you know, these institutions and these natural features that constitute our economy that get our engine running. And that's what we got to protect. Yeah. And we have to build industries. That's another show. It's a, you know, like we could talk about technology. We could talk about astronomy. We're not going to talk about that today. Yeah, we'll talk about two more P's though, right? Okay, go ahead. And then you've got a break coming up, right? Yeah, let's talk about a B instead of a P. Let's take a B and have a break. And when we come back from the break, we'll talk about the two remaining P's. All right. I'm Yamachika, President of the Hawaii Tax Foundation. We are so happy to be able to talk to him and find the answers to these difficult questions. We'll be right back. Aloha. I'm Keisha King, host of At the Crossroads, where we have conversations that are real and relevant. We have spoken with community leaders from right here locally in Hawaii and all around the world. Won't you join us on thinktechhawaii.com or on YouTube on the Think Tech Hawaii channel. Our conversations are real, relevant, and lots of fun. I'll see you at the Crossroads. Aloha. Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, host of Beyond the Lines. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years, and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championship. This show is based on my book, which is also titled Beyond the Lines, and it's about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, achieving and sustaining success, and finding greatness. If you're a student, parent, sports or business person, and want to improve your life and the lives of people around you, tune in and join me on Mondays at 11 a.m. as we go Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. Aloha. We're back with Tom Yamachika, president of Hawaii tax foundation here on Talking Tax with Tom, and we have two more piece to cover. This is very important in our discussion of fiscal responsibility. So what is procurement? What's that about? Okay, procurement is the process by which our government goes out and buys goods and services that it needs. So it can't do everything itself. Its employees can only do so much. You still got to buy things, right, that we don't produce ourselves or services that we don't have the expertise for. So there have been complaints over the years that, you know, we're paying too much for stuff. And if we can figure out a way to pay, like, real actual market rates for things or less, given the state purchasing power that we have or could potentially tap into, then we'll be paying a lot less for the stuff that we need today and we could save up more for tomorrow. Yeah, and the other side of that, though, is this issue about corruption and about bringing in your cousin's aunt's uncle to do the job, and, you know, violating any sense of pride even for that matter of law. So we have the procurement code. And I have personal experience with that, too. Procurement code is the most bureaucratic thing you ever saw, and it holds the stuff up, and it does not actually result in the lowest price, although technically that may be so. And it takes forever to get things. So the result is that the state and agency cannot actually get it right away. It has to go through this process, which everybody sort of accepts, and it's sort of the zen acceptance of the delays and complications of the procurement code. I don't think it's efficient at all. Yeah, the Department of Education kind of found one way to get through at least part of it by something called job order contracting. That's something that they recently publicized. I wrote about it earlier this year, and it's basically a means of saying, well, okay, we, the Department of Education, are going to be looking for certain goods on this menu. So contractors bid on the individual items in the menu, although it's not needed at the current, you know, at the present time, and then when people do need it, they can kind of order off the menu. And, you know, since all of the negotiation and bidding and award and that kind of thing has been done before, or it's been done already, and it's in place, all they do is just pay the money and get their stuff. Does it work? According to DOE it does. They've recorded some very impressive gains with cooling the classrooms, for example. I sat on the neighborhood board for a while, and the DOE would come to us and say, can you guys, you know, antiep a few bucks from your pocket from your wallet right now, because we have to buy pencils from the school. Oh, my God. You know, if the state has a billion-dollar budget on education, they can't afford pencils? Are you kidding me? I mean, it's that kind of inefficiency. That's a light word for it. But I'm hoping we're on a track anyway, but that will be better off coming soon. Yeah, another thing that seems to be in the way is there's a lot of silo mentality around procurement and around spending. Recently, this nonprofit called Education Institute of Hawaii was in the news because they tried to get the DOE's general ledger and was publicly rebuked by the superintendent Kishimoto. So they filed suit. And that was earlier this month, last month. This is August already, so it was in July. And it's still pending in the court system, but we may get something very interesting out of that. You know, this goes to leadership. You know, just as the question of how many employees are working for the state and the counties and, you know, what percentage of the total population is represented there and are there too many of them? You know, I think the answer is clear. There are too many of them because they hire and hire. If the budget for one year will afford the hire, then that's a permanent addition to the workforce. And you can't get rid of them or their benefits. It's really amazing. But leadership should be looking at that. Is the leadership looking at that? Is the leadership looking at the procurement code? Is the leadership looking at trying to balance this and developing a resilient fiscal policy for the future? Not that I'm aware of. Maybe they are, but they haven't told people about that. And, you know, if they're coming up with a financial plan that's 200 million in the red every year, I mean, you wouldn't think so. No, I guess not. What's the last P, Tom? The last P is permitting, okay? And it's kind of a big cog in our economy and it's kind of more at the county level. You have people who, you know, want to build on land. You have people who want to improve buildings and structures and so forth and they have to go through this process called permitting. And it holds up and it affects, you know, many, many different industries, many, many different people. Sometimes for years and decades. Yeah, and it's legendary in that respect. I remember Castle and Cook talked about its first project out in Mildilani somewhere, a housing project. And they needed to get, I guess, county and state approval to do this. And it said, from the time they conceived the project to the time they got the permits was 40 years, 40 years. I don't think it's that bad for every project, but that's an example of outrageously long it can take to get permits in the state. Yeah, and it's not only just the state or the city, but also, you know, there are different, you know, sub-agencies and commissions and, you know, like the Historic Preservation Committee. There's a coastal land management board. There's all kinds of things that get implicated once you do a project in a certain location or that does a certain thing. And come on, why don't we just consolidate all this stuff? You know, give, you know, the plans that the review they need if we need to go through a separate process like a environmental impact statement, you know, have one agency that can help with that. But, you know, going through, like, you know, billions and billions of different sub-iterations and then if one thing goes wrong and one of them going back to the beginning and having to go through everybody again, that's just ridiculous.  And if there are a lot of people on the permitting gauntlet, so to say, and they all have to be occupied to earn their salary, then they're all going to be a stopping point. You know, I remember one point, many points, I had to take a flight for the state of Hawaii and they said, you know, you're going to get reimbursed for your parking at the airport. I think that's great. So, you know, I spend $7, $8 for my parking at the airport and put a chit in to get reimbursed for it. It would take six months for me to get a check. And that chit passed through the hands of dozens of people before it got approved and paid and the check sent to me in the mail. I said, gee, I wonder how much money they're spending on reimbursing me for the parking, which was $7 or $8. Did you know, for example, that you know when you get a tax refund? It isn't the Department of Taxation that cuts the check. The Department of Taxation takes in your money, right? But it can't issue check. It has to go to the Department of Accounting and General Services to assure their checks for them. Now, I can see that being, you know, they're doing that initially to try to consolidate disbursements and make that process more efficient. But, you know, sometimes it just reaches the point of idiocy. Nobody will argue that the state is not efficient. I mean, Neil Avakramby was trying to upgrade the computer system and he hired a guy from GSA and brought him out here. I can't remember the name right now. He spent a lot of money, including private-public partnership money to examine whether the state, you know, needed to have an upgrade on its computer system because it was a piece on this on NPR, I rather, HPR a few days ago. Fact is they got lots of disparate systems. They don't talk to each other. It would be okay to have one department, you know, identify what the refund is and another cut the check as long as they were integrated on the computer system, but they're not. You know, I remember Andrew Oakey one time got in front of our venture capital association and it was really funny. He said, you know, we do this by walking down to the post office and depositing it in, depositing the checks or making a request, you know, it's like old-fashioned stuff that could have been automated years ago and so, you know, we throw away a lot of money and it justifies the jobs of a lot of people who probably we don't need in the state workforce and so I understand where the tax foundation is coming. I know your secret. I know why you're interested in this stuff because if the state is inefficient and throwing away money left and right on things it could fix, like the computer system, all it has to do is, you know, develop the political will of that system. All it has to do in all of this is to, you know, have the leadership and the political will to become more efficient, like other states are in many ways, then we would have less risk of the pressure that you see and I see for an increase in taxes. Ultimately, we're going to have to increase in taxes to cover these funded and unfunded liabilities and I know the method of your madness here. I know why you're interested in this fiscal responsibility issue. It's just madness. You're right about that part. Am I right? Well, we try our garnest to bring the issue in front of people whether they, you know, what they do with it once they see the information is kind of another thing but, you know, we do what we can. Yeah. Tell me, tell the people, what do you recommend in terms of, I make you governor, okay? What do you do? Well, we start, I think we have to start looking at those four P's and, you know, make them a priority and get them fixed. Then I think we'll be a lot better off. I suppose what you're really saying is that the four P's are governed by the fifth P. Which is? Priority. Well, of course, yes. Tom Yamachika, president also of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii. You want to roll there, Jay? We're both on a roll, Tom. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Aloha.
