So hello everybody from here and from the online. Today I would like to talk about the Zoom project. This project and my speech in particular will not tell you much in terms of results, but the presentation is more relative to the possible evolution and the possible outcomes from this European project. So what is the project about? The project in general is about knowledge. So the knowledge is an asset that is constituted of three main aspects. On one side you have education, innovation, research. The knowledge, I think we would agree on that, creates positive influences in terms of quality of life and also in terms of industrial competitiveness. Zoom in to a second stage of detail. The project is about knowledge valorization. So how the results of research could be exploited to create new products, services, processes, to create social innovation, to create new companies, so spin-outs, spin-offs, start-ups, could contribute to evidence-based policies and in general to the creation of IP-related rights. These will have a positive impact in terms of possible, for example, jobs, sustainability, social fairness, health, skills, well-being. All these aspects are enabled by this process of knowledge valorization. In particular, zooming a little bit more, the Zoom project has the objective to raise awareness on the topic of IP management with the open licenses. The project is related to three kind of aspects of open licenses. So the first one is the software. You surely all well know about open source licensing strategies and so on. The second is hardware. So having the possibility to deliver the design of a component, of a part openly and in granting it to be reproducible in many different places and by many different people. And finally, open data. Open data in particular is a kind of open that is really relevant in particular for aspects such as industry 4.0 where companies right now all have had investments and created a lot of data, are generating a lot of data that are sometimes unused. All these three aspects generate 3.0. So the topic of our project and the reason why in the name of the project we have 3.0 is this one. The questions we want to address is, for example, how value is created with an open approach to IP licensing. So if I choose to use an open license to my hardware software how can I grantee or take value from that. The second one is related to the business model. So which business model can be enabled or disabled by choosing an open license. So how a company or my company, for example, can access the market and how can create employment, for example, and the positive effects on the community. How new research results could reach the market with open licenses. So which strategies could be adopted by researchers, for example, or developers that want to see their IP created, their product reaching the market. And also how open license IP management strategy could enhance the collaborative innovation ecosystem. So in this point we have a really interesting topic that is extremely relevant to the European Commission. And that is maybe the most difficult question for them. How does open licensing approach for open software and data, how can it enhance the possibility to have more than one company accessing the IP, for example, more diffusion, more knowledge, more awareness on the new technologies in particular. The project is really oriented to new technologies coming from research. How can this contribute to having a better and a more fast access for all the people to the new technologies. In the project we identified a number of possible stakeholders for our project. This is more or less our set of entities or persons that could be reached by our activity. In particular, among them just this one. The researchers in particular, we have a lot of IP generated by research. The important part is that this kind of IP could get out of the drawer of the university research center and that this could effectively then have a positive impact on the overall society. We have, for example, startups, small media enterprises, companies that could benefit, that could develop and deliver with open licensing approach their IP. This obviously is then facilitated, and for that we need to have probably an improvement in the level of knowledge on the open licensing and on the trios, basically, exploitation. In particular, we are talking to innovation agencies, for example, also the company where I work, Abinovacentrentino, that is an innovation agency itself. We have the technology transfer offices, that are offices dedicated to tech transfer in the university. We have the patrebs, that is an European institute, that is distributed around Europe, that works to support companies and to correctly manage their IP. Digital Innovation Hub and also European Digital Innovation Hub also are stakeholders of our projects. So, what we want to create in terms of these two macro containers of the coders is to have the possibility to empower them with our awareness raising campaign on the role of these trios for their work. In order to have a distribution of knowledge and they could enable them to expand their services in order to reach and to diffuse all the knowledge we will create in the project. Other stakeholders, you commission, for example, in this case the project will have an output, as an output, some policy suggestion and some literature-based outcomes that will be presented to the commission. We have another stakeholder, maybe sometime not so clearly identified our venture capitalist. So, companies willing to invest in projects in research outputs, for example, in new companies in startups and so on, that often we can see from common practices are not considering probably the open approach, the most exploitable from their point of view, obviously. And so they tend to not finance, not support a project that could be relevant, but based on open licensing, obviously. Then, obviously, the relevance to society. We all know the positive impact of open licensing and the open approach, in particular, a copy left to the community. So, on one side, talking about knowledge, I like to stress the possibility to disseminate knowledge through open licensing to granting access to source code in case of software designs, in case of hardware and the datasets in case of data to all the people in order to empower them and to get to know better the topic, in particular, when we are talking of new technologies or innovative aspect. The project objectives, basically, we will reach 500 researchers, we will reach 200 employees from companies, 30 TTOs, 30 Patrib and 15 ADAs. The largest number here, obviously, is a researcher, but we want also to involve companies, because, as we all know, probably, companies also are large contributors of open software. In particular, we had, as an input, a report from the commission that small-medium enterprises, in particular, are great contributors for a large quantity to the development of open software, in this case. So, what will be the output of the project? This is probably the part you will be most interested in. The project will disseminate, will create and disseminate four kind of outputs for, there will be digital material in term of training materials for researchers, for all the stakeholders we identified. That will be thought and designed accordingly to the specific needs of them. We will have interactive tools, so the idea is to have online tools to able to support the licensing and the business aspects in order to have adequate support for deciding which kind of open licensing strategy could be exploited for the IP that was created. We will have a specialist material, so, in particular, thought for lawyers, and for all the specialists on legal and business, obviously, aspect. We will have open access publications, so articles and all the material that will be generated will be published in open access. We will have one or two policy outlooks on the 3Os. It's interesting because the Zoom project is the only project that was financed in the only call related to IP management in the two years 2021-2022. So it's extremely interesting that the only project financed was related to the topic of openness and open approach. And finally, we will have also software. So we will produce software, obviously not for scratch. We will try to exploit and to use already available open source software as a basis for our tools. And in terms of the idea is to have to produce a license manager. So software that could exploit researcher, companies, and single developers and so on to understand the inbound licenses to support the choice of the outbound license to have also ideas on which kind of business model could be implemented considering the choices that are taking during development. Objuzely, this part will be supported but by already available project. Among them, there is the free software foundation that is also a partner of the project reuse. Okay, obviously. And in the project or the activity project we will work on that. Then I just keep the few slides that will be uploaded by Noitec Park and about the partnership, about more or less the general steps to the end of the project, the milestones. This project information instead I think should be more or less explained. The project just started. So we are at month two of the project. We will have two years to conclude all the activities. Soon we will have the idea platform online at this email address and you have an email address. So we will be really happy to have you connected and participating in our activities. Thank you.

Hey everybody. This is Christian Buckley doing another MVP buzz chat. I'm talking today with Paul. Hello. Howdy. It's great to have you and for folks that don't know you who are you where are you and what do you do? Yeah. So my name is Paul Wyn Stanley. I'm based as you could probably tell from my accent out in the UK and England. I'm originally from the north of England from a place called Barnsley, which is an old coal mining community until the 80s when they all changed. But I live now in London. I've been living here since the mid 90s with a wife and the kids and everything. Yeah. Been here a long time. So I'm a, what would you say I am? I have my own company. Independent. Independent limited company called SCCM Solutions. And I provide services through that to whoever wants to take me on board with cool projects basically. So I do a lot of, I spent a lot of time in the past working with config manager, SCCM. And a lot of stuff now is cloud based. So moving in towards in-tune in the last sort of five years. And that's starting to grow into other things around Windows 365. A little bit of security now as well. Yep. Keeping it being ever so important. So yeah, that's what I do. A lot of the enterprise mobility MVPs have become dual security MVPs or switched over to security MVP entirely. I know the buckets change a lot. And I'm not sure entirely what that means with an enterprise mobility space. I didn't make that cut. I saw that the other day and there was a few people just kind of suddenly pinging on and saying, no, I'm security now. And it's an interesting thing to see. And it is blurring. It is blurring quite a lot. I mean, I'm doing a lot of work at the minute around conditional access, for example. So, you know, that that bolts in in quite a big way. And I spent the last few weeks really digging deep on that. Started doing a blog series on it based on on that learning experience, you know. By chance, are you playing with the new shared channels and teams with conditional access? No, no, not yet. So what I'm doing at the moment is playing with the templates that Microsoft give you and exploring those. So, yeah, no, I haven't haven't dipped into that one yet. Yeah, I'm sure it'll come up as you explore more but more but that's a, you know, one of the, you know, kind of governance, I don't know what you call it, you know, stops, you know, the way of stopping the movement towards the shared channels but yeah. Yeah, no, I found it quite interesting in that I'm looking at experience. Yeah, in that particular area of the moment, what happens if you do this. And obviously you have scenarios you can you can click in the console, create these scenarios, etc. And look at them but it doesn't give you the feedback that you would get by actually physically clicking the buttons and going on to the iPad going on to the Mac whatever and seeing that so I'm trying to capture through this series presently I'm working with a friend in the community who's based out in Michigan. And we're looking at what ifs, yeah, like I say so you click it what happens on the endpoint. What happens in on the back end what do I see you know looking at the signing logs what what I expect to see is it what's been reflected there, and all these various things I'm fine.  Okay, this is interesting. So, yeah, where security, you know, before, as I say you wouldn't have taken it on board as much now definitely so a lot more hands on in that area really. Well it's interesting. So before I got in the Microsoft ecosystem back in 2005 and I worked in the IBM world I worked with rational software and I worked with it did consulting around software configuration management and so you know the for folks that don't know what that, you know, SCM, like that world it's, you know, it all got kind of morphed into the DevOps world the broader DevOps space. It's, it's just interesting. Again, like the, like the MVP buckets that you know the areas of focus kind of change and evolve, where you can have people that are working on the same team and seemingly very similar areas and then one is going to security and one is remaining enterprise mobility. Yeah, I mean I'm finding that you know that the programs themselves, as well as becoming more blurred as well you know with the cross pollination of things so you know where again I'm doing a blog series now Brady around Windows 365 and, you know, a lot of the conversations are all happening where before we would have a conflict manager conversation and we were very isolated they're doing that thing. Yeah. Now we've got okay when 365 bolted in we've got MDE bolted in all this kind of stuff so it's but there's a lot to take in. But it used to be, I don't know if it still is or not it used to be that I mean you earn your like I was a SharePoint MVP. And so there was I was because I was doing focus so much just on the SharePoint space. And then it got you know went to you know the office servers and services, and, and then office apps and services now Microsoft 365 apps and services. But there were, you know, people that would come in the unified comms that were like teams MVPs, there were Yammer MVPs, there were PowerPoint and word and Excel MVPs and now all of those things are in that one bucket. Microsoft is also streamlined and part of it, I suspect is just a personnel management of the MVPs for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a lot of changes happening as well I think behind the scenes. But the other side is that you often you don't come in and talk about the single product because like we talk a lot about I talk a lot about Azure and the different Azure touches on different things. I'm not an Azure MVP I'm no we're close to becoming a dual MVP but somebody to become an MVP needs to be much more focused than I think that once you're an MVP, we can almost kind of broaden out into talk about right about speak about multiple products. Yeah, I think so. And, and, you know, I'm seeing that I mean definitely seeing that in myself as well in the things I do with customers. Okay, I mean there's a lot of pressure at times as well being an MVP being asked everything across the board but but coming in a certain a certain angle I could say comfort manager back in the day as we branch out more today. You've got to keep up with it you've got you've got to know it, but you get asked and you're expected to be an expert in it as well. It's, it's challenging. You've got a lot of work to do you've got then the, the community side to do, and then the learning side, you know you take on a lot of things and it's fast paced. Currently isn't it it's really, it's interesting. It's interesting times at very very hard to keep up with it. So, I hear that question a lot is like how do you keep up and I am my answer is that it's like you do your best but I rely a lot on fellow MVP's and you know so certain people that I follow that I trust I know their voice and what they cover and so I'm able to kind of take my eyes off certain areas and go focus on other things and then go and get their their summary of things. What was your path to becoming an MVP. Yeah, well, good question. So, I started a blog. It's 10 years in May. I think 2013 I started my blog. And I created SCC and mentor.com now. It's only got one and I say this every time it's not SCC mentors a Brangelina combination of words yeah. And really only started it up as a self help knowledge base. Yeah, it wasn't to, it wasn't going out there to promote me in any way or shape yeah really just kind of here's a problem. I do lots of documentation but I wasn't really keeping notes at the time. You know through one note. Yeah, yeah, but at the time I had nothing so I just went okay I'm just going to create a website and I've been working with a consultant. I had a chat called Dave Lee who was who's an exchange consultant who'd been working on a project with me and he'd done a few bits and I thought this is pretty cool. I might do that kind of thing so that's how it all kicked off originally just by doing that and then you know you look at the stats and people are actually coming from all over the world and looking at this thing. And I thought well you know I freelance. This is a good way to help promote me as a as a contractor yeah and and that and then that kept spinning and I contacted a user group in England called W mug. The management user group ran by a chap called Rob Marshall and said, do you want is there any way I can share out some of these blogs through the through the site. And he was like, yeah, we kind of do but we kind of can't plug that in would you be willing to write some blogs on the site. Oh, we meet up would you map would you know we have a little video meet up because we're based all over the UK and then we have physical meet ups do you want to come and present. Yep. I was like, um, okay, because I'm not presenting still, I'm still not great with it yet. But sort of that it just kept snowballing from there really and just contributing more reviewing videos reviewing books that kind of thing and it's just from there. And it was I think it's about three years into three, yeah about three years into doing the blogging and that kind of thing that I got nominated. Got rejected. And then left it and then the next year I just thought you know what I'm going to give it another go and really went for it and then all of a sudden I got quite a few nominations coming in and it just kind of happened so yeah I've been on board for six years now but really didn't it wasn't an agenda or a goal for me at the time. But then, like I said at that point when I decided it was like yeah I'm doing it now. I've got to get on board. That's always the question of like, you know, how much can you or should you push, like make it that gold become an MVP. I think that the guidance that I share and and as I mentor a number of people that are interested in becoming MVPs but it has much more about like you're doing the stuff because you enjoyed it because it was helping you with your work and building your network and do all those things were, you know, independent you're going to do those things regardless of having. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, and not everyone makes the cut. Right. There's a bit of a black box I mean there's some people that I got just the announcements just went out yesterday. Is that right yesterday. Yeah, yesterday. Yeah, yeah.   She's been doing. Yeah. And so it's great to go and see but again it's a black box it's, it's, it's an award that Microsoft gives and they decide, and there's a number of different factors and we have no idea what those not like there's a checklist that I can have done all the things hand me my MVP it doesn't work that way. Yeah, I demand it. There's that you know there's certain people I see out there who I go, you should be on the program. And there's that there's a couple of people in particular I see constantly just not getting added on there.  Are they meeting that.  Oh I made it for another year. Yeah. And I was lucky that you know I was on board for you covered so I managed to go to a couple of summits and experience that. Who knows what's happening with that going forward. I really feel for the people are on board at present who haven't experienced that. Yeah, that's the best. That is the best part of the best part of the award is that chance to network with the product team. They're in Seattle to meet all the other mbps I mean there's nothing like it it's an incredibly powerful networking opportunity and benefit to the program so I hope they bring that back as well. Yeah, and drink beer. Yeah. I mean just, I mean you can't replace them at no amount of virtual can replace the power of in person. It's really hard I mean I know when we're there I really struggle with the jet lag when I'm over there and you know it's caffeinated up come on. Yeah, so while I drink lots of coffee I get no impact of caffeine at all I'm falling asleep while drinking it but yeah it's one of those things but you know you're in the room you're there you're present. And when it's the virtual life is happening behind you. Yeah, you know the kids are around you need to get involved in the meal. Yeah, for the nighttime all this kind of stuff is happening and you can't focus in the same way. Yeah, and the experience as you say it's not the same. Yeah. It's not it's the content is different. I mean what what's happened with a sorry this for everybody like soapboxes like I realized that Microsoft is there changing things up and around there but what happens is the content gets condensed because nobody wants to sit there for an hour and So there's less content so that it becomes more marketing content rather than any deep dive. So there's not really any true technical content. There's not the truly the ability to to do the back and forth and ask questions and here and see the faces and who's asking those and then go follow up with those people like hey I had the same issue but I didn't ask the question but what are you doing around this and I mean those other sidebar conversations. That's the biggest loss from doing the online events. But I realized things are changing, but like if you look at your events over the course of the year, you need to balance that between digital and in person. There needs to be a mix. Yeah, I mean the the MMS stream came back. I think last year was the first one. I think they may they may have done a, they do a fall autumn fall event, which kind of was the first and then they did the 2022. I was, I was down for 2020 to be presenting there. I haven't submitted for this year unfortunately so I'm not going to be there this time and I've never been to one and that's kind of like the big, the big thing for us to kind of get involved and meet people. I think that's, you know, if the if the summits don't happen I need to I need to do that next year. Yeah. The events are slowly trickling back in the UK. I haven't been to any since, but hopefully they're going to that's going to change and going to turn around but pop up. I mean, look, I realized that there is in the cover of the collaboration the M365 space, we have the community days.org site. And there's a lot of other events you might go take a look at that if you're not familiar with that. There's Microsoft centric events around the world. And so you have an active calendar there's like, you know, a dozen in the next 30 days that are happening at different places around the world. And so it's just a great way to look at the variety of different, some free some paid, you know, events that are happening. It's mostly free events that are on these were very inexpensive. But again, so there's more that you can go and submit to and participate in and actually there's some big ones like I'm at there's an M365 conference happening in Las Vegas in May. I didn't submit not planning on it but I'm attending it. Yeah, be there with with with my company I'm partnering with and it's going to be great just to see people and do the networking aspect of it.  Socializing with the product team all that kind of thing. Yeah, you know, those days are coming back slowly. Yeah. Well, Paul, maybe the last question for you is like, for, because I'm sure you've heard in six and a half years that you've been because I've read they were new at in, in, like, June, July timeframe, every year. But people probably asked you like, you know, what, what should I do like what's the what's the process what do you what do you tell people how do you recommend that they should get plugged in to get on that MVP path. Yeah, just get involved really, you know, I use Twitter a lot as a way to start to get to know people. Yeah. Obviously kickstart with some blogging get some content out there do that, but start to involve yourself with some conversation on Twitter. Or social media. I mean, there's, you know, there's so many channels aren't there to get involved in. I mean, I don't use Facebook anymore. I use I use it to promote the blog, but I I start I slow down but then you go and there's there is in Microsoft 365 community with over 60,000 members on it. Yeah. Yeah.  I wouldn't write it off entirely, but I had a backlash with Facebook you see at one point I was like no I don't want to see all these things off I go. So I do promote my blog I mean some of the groups there as well but I don't get involved. I spend too much time on Twitter really. And it's really getting involved get to know the people a little bit. You know, who are these kind of gurus experts, etc. and and learn things I did a lot of my learning with technet forums. Yeah, and I just plowed in time. I'm going to Jason Sand is around about this actually. One of the one of the X MVPs for config manager now works for Microsoft and saying you know because he was getting huge amounts of points on that thing. And saying how do you find time to do this and how do you know all these answers you know and he was like, I don't know all the answers I'm learning through it. So I was okay it's not just me then yeah. You know, the question will be asking you go off and research and come back with an answer for someone you'd learn from that. Yeah, so you know, to participate in that way. Try and get involved in a user group if you can in some way.  And if you don't find a group but there's nothing near you like start one. It's, yeah, I've done that internally where there's four of us sitting during lunch, you know once a month and with the topic and kind of take turns kind of sharing your. I think you had good friend of mine Ben Whitmore on a previous and then his first ever user group up in East Anglia in the UK. And he came down met I've met him and he said, you know, I said that I can present. I'd love to. Yeah, traveled up there and there was about eight or nine of us in the room. I was killing the screen behind me, you know, presentation skills, terrible, turning, turning TVs off rather than clicking slides and everyone's just kind of like, God, but you know, he started it up and that was his passion and yeah, you know, in in in an area that was difficult to, you know, transportation wise to get to. Yeah, but people had to make that leap across to effort right.  Yeah, it's kept at it. Well, I think that's another is if you talk about the look for benefits look at the bright side of the pandemic is that there are more virtual opportunities than ever before. So a lot of user groups that were in person, you know, have moved a lot of them purely online, which opens up more opportunities to go and get involved in to present and share some of your experiences. Yeah, absolutely. And if you know if you have, you know, as I say, I find it daunting still to present. But the first time I did it. Oh my God, you know, but the virtual event can help, because you haven't got 3040 people staring at you. You know, you can just focus in on what you're doing and you know, present. Yeah, I think that helps in a way. And as you say, there's there's opportunities to go and do those presentations anywhere in the world. Yeah, you know, I've done a couple of one or two in the morning out in the state so go for it. Yep. It's really it really is just getting involved if it's a passion you'll do it. Yep. Yeah, that that's the thing find your passion and pursue it. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Paul really appreciate your time today and hey I hope to see you at one of these. These MVP summits if they start happening again. Fantastic. Really enjoyed it. Thanks, Chris.


updates. Okay folks Larry Pesavento with the mid-morning update here on the 28th of November the year of our Lord 2022. God I can hardly believe what I'm saying that 2022. Wow it's a long time from the 1940s holy moly guacamole. Anyway we've got the stocks down sharply today I'll go through that on our show here coming up here in a couple of minutes why I thought that was going to happen also we have a gold is sold off about $10 and we have the grains are mixed we got soybeans up just a little bit corn down a little bit not too much happening but the big one here is the crude oil contract we made new lows for 2022 and I haven't posted a chart yet Al I'm very sorry about that I'll do that right now and then we will get it up here so we'll be able to see it hold on just a second and then we'll be all set to go I forgot about that it's been so long since I've been on the show it's amazing how long four days can last anyway this is a crude oil as you can see here it's been in a really strong downtrend since the 7th of November if you remember that high was an exact 382 of the daily high and we've come down now and we've made a huge ABCD pattern down here at 72 and change which we'll talk about at the top of the show how far it's going to go I don't know folks this is basically just a it's very very oversold and this is a short covering rally as near as I can tell after being down from 90 we were from 95 to 72 folks down $20 a barrel over the next five weeks in the midst of the time of the year when crude oil should be rocking and rolling to the upside but evidently the winner is not as bad in some parts of the world as it is in other places so those are the main things that we're watching here this morning here at TFNN the main thing to pay attention to folks is to watch what's happening to the bonds and what's what's happening to the notes because what happened today very very important and I'll discuss this when we come up to our show here in a few minutes and we'll have some good things to say about what we think is going to happen to those notes and bonds here in the near future so that's what we're watching so live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may god bless and we'll be right back with Fibonacci 24-7 trade what you see


What kind of services do you provide? What do you think, silly? Love, of course. Hot and vulgar with me. Or sweet and sincere with my sister. Trust me, you don't want to miss my signature mezzo-baranzen love trick. Dude, that is gross. I'm leaving. Gay. I'm leaving. Guys, they're brother and sister. You get a permanent buff? Wait, you get stat bonus? I'll do anything for a stat bonus. Wait, is there actually a buff? That was a joke. Oh my gosh. Okay. My, my. I can tell you are a special one from a single glance. You have but to ask. And we can grant you a moment of pleasure. Don't be shy. I used to work as a courtesan back home. And my sister has an artisanal masseuse. But men are treated like dogs by the underdark cemetery. So we fled. I'm a paladin and have to keep things holy. But plus five strength is plus five strength. Life is easy. Found servicers crave the body of a drow like a drug. Life is easy in our line of work. Are you sure this is where you want to be? It was not my work itself that has ever been a challenge to me. Only the circumstances. I've worked in this business in the underdark. But it grew to festering monotony. The entirety of drow culture is obsessed with bondage beyond reason. While such activities have their charms, I yearned to reach greater depths. And there is no society on this planet more laterally, imaginatively and confusingly depraved as that of Boulder's gate. Although I'm late, I do feel like I've seen everything. Perhaps you'll show me something new. One is the rational answer. Guys, there's a problem with one. The one is, I would never say that. These four words, I can't judge you. I would literally never say those four words. I'm a paladin, okay? I literally invented judgment. Yeah, I judgment on cooldown, okay? Trust me, you don't want to miss my signature mezzo-baranzum love trick. You two look uncannily alike. I'm gonna say this first. We are twins. You don't actually lie with one another, do you? Oh my gosh. Aren't you at the risk of inbreeding? Oh my gosh, this is so bad. Ew, well, I'm sorry. Delicious? I thought they said leave. It was one word, and I didn't even read it. I didn't even read number four, because I thought it just said leave, because it was one word. Disgusting. Dude, what is this game, dude? This is so... Dude, what is this game? Guys, what is this chat? What is wrong? 80% of you are saying delicious?  Our bodies will haunt your dream. I have to take my headphones off. This is... Corluck disapproves. You guys are effed in the A-chat.  Are you kidding me? Sven, what are you doing? Hey, Bonnie. This is... No, you're about to be effed in the A-chat. We will only allow that if we know there is an evening of exceptional pleasure awaiting us. Usually one darling alone is not enough to match the two of us. Return to us if you have a lover willing to take... Oh, my gosh. Guys. They all said no. I already asked them. I don't understand why they're such a type, so... Do it for the stat bonus. Almost pleasant traveling with company. If you ignore all the less pleasant aspects. Well, Sharnes are using a place called the House of Grief. Is that what this is? I thought this was called the House of Grief. Okay? Like, a brothel is not a happy place, okay? I just assumed it was called the House of Grief. Is this the nymph? What is this? Another case closed. Another bottle open. A shot of malaria.  I recognize that face. You were talking to Yannis after I left the temple.  Is he pretending to be shy? It's not being shy. I don't want my mom to open the stream and it's freaking weird stuff. Okay. I'm at work. Also, people are watching the stream at work. Type one if you're in the office right now. Hang on a trick. I recognize that face. You were talking to Yannis after I left the temple. One, and I voted four.  You were talking to Yannis after I left the temple.  She asked me to find Lorgan's real killer seeing as you can't be bothered. Why must you busybodies insist on interrupting a perfectly good night? I know that look. You remind me of Devella. Fine. If you doubt my conclusions, out with it. The office I am in has a black leather couch. It seems fitting. Thanks, Johnny Silverhand. You remind me of Devella. If I'm gonna be doubt my conclusions, out with it. I found the murder weapon you missed in a tunnel under the temple. That's quite the discovery. Doesn't tell me everything though. Why was Lorgan killed? I work at Walmart and I have your stream playing on all the TVs of God. Why was Lorgan killed? I assume for the same reason as all other people on the target list to gain Baal's favor. Really? You as well? Well, Devella's been harping on about Baal for months. Fancy's herself something of an expert.  But she's been unusually insistent about this one. Even for her. Fine. I'll bite. What's your theory? I didn't think about Baals being Baals. They'll just now. Not a theory. I approve. This document contains information connecting the murders to the Baalist resurgence. No need to wave documents at me. I'm already drowning in paperwork as it is. Constable Devella is going to be a real pain in the trunk about this.  She'll be at the Elf Song Tavern. Show her the list and I'll stay and inform the fist here. Oh, and you'll need this pass. It'll give you access to the lower city. Wait, I have so many lower city passes. I should sell them. Well, what are you waiting for?  Move. I like how this character is like the elephant with the wine glass. I'm going to go here. I'd love to, thanks. Because this is where we were stuck in before. See the twins favor? They said no. Rules of the reading room. This is the reading room? Anyone caught pleasuring themselves in the library when we doubled to the bookcase of chained books? Any wizards caught examining this special collection that expressed permission when we commanded to read aloud the whole library of the passage they were enjoying? Anyone bringing the sounds of the library promptly gagged. Black flare leather outfit, strap choker leather outfit, green flare leather outfit. The female version of this looks cool. The male version is hilarious. Fiona's journal. Look, look, look. Fiona's journal. Read it. Not pick it up. He's getting worse. The whispers, the night terror is the blood. I know he's hiding something. The others in the flop house know it too. I've seen how they look at him, how they look at me. They're scared of him and I can't blame them. I am too. They're talking about his son. The color. Silver glass. Oh, the breaker. What? Oh, the break. A-B-C, delicious meat. What's inside? Roe books. One night in Nashgal. The cover of this pulp erotica describes the contents. After months of imprisonment in the Nashgal mines, Enchanter Zand cannot bear his solitude any longer and decides to pleasure himself with the only companion he has, his sentient sword, the Moonblade.  The court of soon. The one that got a thay. The text written on the back of the smut advertises it. A slow paced enemy is to lovers tale featuring a bitter arc wizard of thay and his nemesis, a pure-hearted muscled berserker. Okay, we are leaving. Where is the rest of that book? That sounds like good book to me. Oh, this room. I didn't see this room. I didn't like ballers getting through first, but then I started to play it. I see how you're addicted to this, man. It's so good, man. Yeah, I was kind of the same way. I didn't not like it, but, like, the game definitely, like, like, ramped up real hard. The beginning was good enough to keep me playing and then halfway, not even halfway, but, like, maybe a third of the way through act one, I was like, okay, this game is actually safe. Oh, look, this place looks cool. A sword, leather armor. Cool. Char's caress room key. All's well that ends. Not as bad as it could have. Time to press ahead. Wait, what? Wait, what happened? Why are we here? My beautiful. More than beautiful.  You are the golden dune swept across the calum. What? Why did this happen? You are the fruit of the forbidden palm. Soft on my skin. Sweet on my tongue. That's fantastic. This is not my fault. I didn't do this. And salvation. Your parasite stirs. You gaze at the nymph with hungry eyes. What's up, guys? Shiver with her longing. Your skin burns with her heat. What's wrong, Jara? What are you? Wait. Looks fun. Mind if I join? Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken. This looks personal. I should leave. This isn't... I bet this makes them angry, if anything. Mission failed. We'll get them next time. Okay. Like, surely that's not a... I think they're gonna get angry. I most certainly do. Jara is the most valued fate. The absolute has shorn me. Jara, what's going on? Who's this man? Wait, what? Your change has come. Pastures boiling beneath your skin. Your bones twisting. Your flesh rupturing. That's suddenly silent. What? What the frick? By the nine hells, that's not good. No, it is not. Let's do... Flurry of blows. Topple. Wait, what? Ladies, I'll just own them. What the frick? Ruby ring. What happened? At some point, I might have to play this one. It is so good. I'd heard tales of mind-flayers. Talons sharp as daggers and tentacles yet more fearsome. But no tale did justice to its ethereal beauty. It floats like a butterfly. Blood shimmers like silver. They're beautiful indeed and most lethal. What is she talking about? Like, what? I'm... Yeah, is she turned on? I know what she's talking about, but what I'm saying is what's wrong with her. Is it not in the aliphid's barbarity that we find it splendor?  A lesser woman might be frightened, but I am no lesser woman. Her gaze intensifies, and your heart skips a beat. The woman's senses are heightened and her fire stoked. The mind-flayer is no mere curiosity, but an object of desire. What? Did they turn you on? Disgusting. The creature aroused you? Why should I deny it? My urge is as natural as the grape upon the vine. But perhaps there are other flavors that might satisfy my panic. What did you have in mind? Rapture. Close your eyes, and listen. Bioshock? Close your eyes and listen. Shhhh. What a hit. You see only darkness. Her voice shines through it, warmer than the sun, yet cooler than night. The all-being. Here, there is no suffering. Here, you want for nothing. Here, you are anything. You have one word. Tell me what you will be. Yo. What yo? What will you be? Chad, what do you guys want? Powerful? You are more than powerful. An emperor to emperors. Your head adorned with a crown of gold, diamond and ruby. The heavens tremble with the steps of your army. All beasts. All men and women. All creatures of the plains bow to your might. Your flesh shivers. Your heart bursts. True ecstasy. For one fleeting moment. Open your eyes. I remember you. And you will remember me. Did I get a buff? Grab sure. Affected entity has a 1d6 bonus to attack. Only until my next long rest. Another step forward. That's huge. Hear me, devil. I will do whatever it takes. Give you anything you ask. There is only one thing in this world that I desire. You do not have it. And you never will. The Kythrak. What deal would he make with this devil? Hush now, Vos. These guests may not know it yet, but they want the same thing that you do.  Lazel, to luck Magir. The devil holds the key to freeing the Gyth people. Right here, right now. You could seal our fate. Whatever you discuss with this devil, I must hear of it. Find me below in the tat room once you're loosed from his claws. I'm glad you came. Not to my door. Not yet. But, to the final reckoning. One more thing before we begin, though. Hmm. Okay. What's happening? For the first time since the Nautiloid, your mind is clear and settling. Um, I feel empty. What did you do?  Out of your mind. Out of your mind. It can't hear us. Huh. What's the catch? Speak freely. Tell me why you brought me here. I brought you here because I'm true to my word. And I can make all of this tadpole business go away. Which means you and your lovely friends can remain blessedly free of tentacles. Let us speak plain. I'll admit. You've impressed me. I wasn't sure you'd make it this far. But no matter how far you come, you're still on the road to ruin. A road that leads directly to a confrontation with the elder brain.  At worst, it will assimilate you and you won't have enough free will left to even wish you were dead. You have the key to destroying it in the palm of your hand, though. The astral prism? In a manner of speaking. But it's the one inside the prism that you need, not the ill-fated, the gift. I can give you the means to free. Speak, devil. We're listening. Why would I want to free him?  Orpheus is your only hope of surviving this horror show without devolving into an ill-fated. To you, you will be a friend. You're at war with an elder brain. All the evidence I've seen suggests Orpheus is my enemy and the emperor my ally. If I'd realized you were so gullible I'd have tricked you into selling your soul for a pocketful of beans when we first met. To the emperor you are nothing more than a beast of burden. One that will transport it to the elder brain. Fox requires food and the occasional beating to keep it moving. You are simpler. The emperor's words serve as both carrot and stick. Perhaps it is true that Orpheus would ally with you against the elder brain. If he proves uncooperative once free you may have to kill him. It's true that Orpheus would ally with you against the elder brain but if it proves uncooperative once free I feel like we shouldn't do it. Just because he tells you how doesn't mean you have to do it but you'll still have the option. Mmm. Okay, let's just know how. The Orphic Hammer an artifact capable of shattering the chains that hold Prince Orpheus is held securely in my House of Hope even now. It's very convenient that you have exactly what I need. Isn't it just? And it's even more convenient that you can give me exactly what I want in return. There it is. Of course. What are you hoping to get out of all this? Power. You free Orpheus and in doing so save the city, the Sword Coast, perhaps the whole world and your own precious skin too. And you give me the crown that dominates the elder brain. And you L'Azelle of Kylir want to free the Forgotten Prince? Do you not? I want nothing more. Then it is settled, is it not? A crown for a hammer. A bargain of a lifetime L'Azelle of Kylir. Do not take that deal. Do not promise the crown to him. What is the crown? Power. Ancient and full of wonder. Ignore him, take the deal. Okay. I have craved it ever since the arch-wizard Caasus created it long centuries ago and brought doom to the Empire of Netheril. That was the great age of humanity and angels flying sky cities with the apex of civilization. I was there the day it all fell apart. Entire cities plummeted from the sky like angels with broken wings. The screams. Oh, the screams. Hundreds of thousands of people watching in horror. You're not that guy now, trust me. You're not that... The surround came up to meet them. It was not a happy meeting. And Caasus was responsible. Not driven by malice but by ambition. He forged a crown imbued with all the powers of magic. A crown that would make any who wore it a god. Men cannot contain so much power. The crown destroyed its creator and his empire fell. Caasus' folly the bards and scholars call it. I call it Hope. The hope of creating a better world and the perils of unchecked hubris. I knew then that the folly of mortals could be the triumph of devils and that I could use that crown to unite the nine under one Archdevil Supreme me. Zarya wouldn't like that much. But even I'm not so desperate to spite her I'd put the hells in this bastard's hands. The idea of you ruling all nine hells isn't filling with joy. The hells require order to function. It is what separates us from mortals and demons. With the crown I would impose perfect order, unity, efficiency, control. My kingdom would control its borders and stay within them. Where has that crown been? Now why haven't you got to hold the crown already?  The Archdevil Mephistopheles snatched up the crown and squirreled it away in one of his vaults. He is not more than a frigid archulist. So much power and potential kept inert. He made a miracle into a museum piece. I raged but only for a decade or so. Then I waited ever watching for more than a thousand years to take a mishap, a misadventure and these chosen who have caused you so much trouble accidentally did me a favor. They brought the crown back into play. It must really annoy you that some mortals managed to steal the crown where you couldn't. Yes, it does. Especially when I see what a bloody mess they've made of their whole scheme. They must have raided Mephistopheles' vault. Impressive. I must admit. But they'll be dead soon.  It doesn't have feelings in the way you'd understand them. But it seems rather angry. It is inevitable.  The crown will be yours for the taking. And when that moment comes you give the crown to me. In exchange I give you the hammer now. Wait, we're going to do what? Transaction it seems, but it's more than that. He's offering you an alternative to the Mind Flayer in your head. Take Raphael's deal and you could free Orpheus. With Orpheus free you would have no need to rely on the emperor. But there's no guarantee that Orpheus would be on your side. And if you take the deal you'll have to fulfill it. You'll have to deliver the crown of Caesus to the devil himself. He claims his ambition is to unite the hells but can he be trusted to stop there? Do you trust him more than you trust the emperor? I think I would say I'd rather destroy the crown. No deal? Either no deal or destroy the crown. I don't know. One or the other. Maybe I don't tell him that I'll destroy the crown. Look at all this. You guys would agree. I don't think I'm going to agree. Do you have an oath break to make a deal with the devil? I'm going to say no deal. I won't stop you but time is running out. So don't stay away for long. If you see reason I'll be here waiting right up to the moment the world ends. Okay. The means to loosing the prince of the comet was within our grasp and you refused it. Why? I don't trust the devil. The orphic hammer is probably worthless. I'm not about to let Raphael become arch-devil supreme. Why? Is he any worse than Osmodeus, do you suppose? The reigning serpent he who harvests souls to fight an unwinnable blood war. Worse than Mephistopheles the devil who slayed his own son he whose experiments threatened to melt his own frozen throne.  If we can find a way in we can take it. I'll use it to smash the true. I forgot the ropes in the way. Yisk, Githgard, Tafki, crash it. The Githyanki will be free first to Vos then to Raphael's house of hope just don't expect a lavish spread awaiting us this time. Okay maybe we do do that then that's our goal for the next time of Baldur's Gate okay guys I hope you guys enjoyed Baldur's Gate I hope you guys enjoyed Baldur's Gate today we made some decent progress in the short amount of time we played we're gonna keep going with some more Baldur's Gate like I said before we're mixing up everything we're playing Cyberpunk, we're playing Baldur's Gate we're playing all these other games all at the same time on stream so again everything is SFan TV YouTube, Instagram, Discord, Reddit, Twitch, Twitter Xthreads, TikTok if it exists it's SFan TV come join the Discord check the YouTube community posts I've been posting things on the community posts I've started doing that, I'm doing a lot more stuff there I'm posting on the Instagram stories and around the live I'm trying to do a lot more things in general so I hope you guys enjoy make sure to like everything, follow everything turn on your notifications as well and yeah I hope you guys enjoy leave me a comment, let me know what you think about the game let me know what you think about the videos I read pretty much everything on YouTube so I read almost every comment so yes let me know I hope you guys enjoyed, we'll see you guys next time


Hello there and welcome to the screencast where we're going to work through an example of an application of the net change theorem. So here's the problem. We have cars that are passing through a very busy interchange and the rate at which those cars pass through the interchange is given by this function a of t, which is 4500 plus 1500t minus 300t squared. That a of t is measured in cars per hour and t is measured in hours in such a way that t equals zero corresponds to four o'clock in the afternoon. And the question is how many cars pass through this interchange between 4pm and 6pm. So first of all realize this is a classic setup for an integral. When an integral problem, remember it's like starting with a velocity and ending up with a distance travel. So here we're starting with a velocity, a rate of change here. We're given a rate of change in cars per hour and that's what this function tells us. And we're being asked for a total change, how many cars pass through between 4 and 6. If the situation were reversed and we were given a quantity and we were asked to find its rate of change, that would be a derivative question. But here since we're given the rate of change and asked to find a total change in the quantity or a net change in the quantity, that is going to be an integration problem. So that's where we're going to select integrals for our tool here. And the correct tool for the job here is the net change theorem, which in sort of a paraphrased form would say that the total change in the amount of cars that are passing through this interchange is the integral of the rate of change in that traffic flow. That's true for any function whatsoever, the net change theorem says that the total change in a function from a point A to a point B is given by the definite integral from A to B of the derivative of that function. So again, we're set up here for the net change theorem because we're given the derivative, a rate of change in the number of cars in the interchange, and we're asked to find a total change in that. So let's work with this and set up what the net change theorem would say. The total change in the number of cars that go through the interchange is going to be the integral of the rate of change. I'm drawing the integral sign here and I'm going to put the expression that I know represents the rate of change for 4500 plus 1500t minus 300t squared. I know this is a rate of change because over on the problem data, it says the cars are passing through at a rate of, and that rate of course is huge, and this is telling me a rate of change is measured in cars per hour. I'm going to need to put a dt here, and now what are the limits of integration? Well, let's look back at the problem data again, and it says how many cars pass through the interchange between the hours of 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock. So I'm given a time interval here. However, I don't want to just go over and put up 4 and 6 on my integral. I have to be a little nuanced with this and read the problem carefully. It says t is measured in hours and t equals 0 is 4 p.m. This especially is important. So the time on the clock is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. But the limits of integration I'm going to want to use are from 0 to 2. And now that's my integral that I want to compute. This is not going to be a very hard integral because we can use the fundamental theorem of calculus to help us out. So let's now compute this definite integral and see just how many cars do pass through this intersection. So we're going to use the fundamental theorem of calculus to compute this exactly. And remember, the fundamental theorem basically gives us a multi-step process. First of all, I need an antiderivative of the integrand. I need an antiderivative. I don't need to think about that. Let's call that antiderivative s. Then I'm going to have to, once I find that antiderivative s, I'm going to calculate s of 2. I'm going to calculate s of 0. And then I'm going to find the difference between s of 2 and s of 0. So step number 2 here is obviously very easy. It's step number 1 that we have to do a little bit of thinking. Let's go over here and start that thinking process. So what's going to be an antiderivative for this function here? Well, I can simply think about this using the reverse power function rule that we've seen in the section. So s of t here, an antiderivative for 4500 would just be 4500t. An antiderivative for 1500t, I'm going to raise the exponent up on t and then divide by 2. So that will give me 750. And then finally, there's a minus sign there I'm going to preserve. An antiderivative for 300t squared, I'm going to raise the exponent from 2 to 3 and then divide by 3 and that would give me 100t cubed. And it's probably a good idea on your own to pause the video for a moment and to stop and verify that s prime actually does give you this function that's in the integrand and it does. So now we're all set up to calculate the centric rule. Let's do that right here. So this is going to be equal to, I'm going to take my s of t and put in s of 2 or calculate s of 2 and then calculate s of 0 and subtract. s of 2 is going to be simply 4500 times 2 plus 750 times 2 squared, which is 4, minus 102 cubed, sorry, which is 8. Now I'm going to subtract off s of 0. But notice that in s, every term in s of t has a t on it. So this is going to be 0 plus 0 minus 0. Of course, the whole thing is going to go to 0. And now it's just arithmetic from here on out. This is 95, 9000, sorry, 2 times 4500 plus 3000, which is 750 times 4, minus 800. And you do the math on this and you get 11,200. And the units on this are in cars. The reason that the units are in cars is because you can actually look up in the integral itself and see this integrand's units are in cars per hour, if you recall that from the problem data. And dt has the same units as t does and that's in hours. So if I multiply cars per hour times hours, I'm going to get cars. So this really does have the look and feel of a total change. And that's what it is. So this integral tells us that through this intersection between 4 and 6 pm, 11,200 cars have passed. Thanks for watching.


Hello, welcome to my YouTube channel. In today's video I'm going to show how to use the Open Topography DEM Downloader Plugin. This is a great new plugin to download all kinds of digital elevation models to QGIS. So let's go to the Plugins Manager. There we can find the Open Topography DEM Downloader Plugin. As you can see you can use that for downloading several DEM products, but you need an API key. If you click the homepage link, every plugin has a homepage link with more information about how to use the plugin, you'll find another link to go to Open Topography. In this blog you can find more information about how to obtain the API key. Basically you need to make an account and then copy the API from your account space. Under My Open Topo you can login after making an account and confirming your email address. And there you can find my Open Topo authorizations at API key. Choose Request API key. Click Request API key and copy the API key. You will need this later to use the plugin. Now install the plugin and close the dialog. The plugin has added a new button to your toolbar. If you click that button you will get the DEM Downloader dialog where you can select different DEMs to download. For example the Copernicus Global DSM 30 meters. And you can choose the extent, I choose the map extent that I've selected here. And I paste there my API key and select an output frowning. The API key will be remembered by the plugin. After running the tool your DEM will appear. As you can see it's nicely cut to the map extent which is a real advantage of this way of downloading instead of separate tiles from a website. If you want to process the DEM or visualize it it's best to project it. So I use here UTM projection. You can use a resampling method. Nearest neighbor is best for calculations but here I just want to visualize so I choose Billinear. I fix the resolution of the output to 30 meters and call the output DEM UTM. And I run the warp and they also change the projection of the project. Let's style it a bit. This is the hill shade. So change the resampling here. It looks nice and smooth. And I duplicate this layer and assign some nice colors, a nice color ramp. I use the CPT city to property elevation and I use multiply for blending and I click classify switch on the layer and now we see the hill shade nicely blended with the colors of this DEM for our area of interest. So in this video you've learned about the open topography DEM download plugin which is very useful to download all kinds of online DEMs for a specified extent to your map canvas. If you like these videos please subscribe to my YouTube channel. Looking forward to see you again.


Wel gone toffee tv it is the Everton News Daily. Frank Llandpad has provided a fitness update ahead of Everton's trip to Wafford tomorrow. The Blues boss confirmed that Yeri Minnet will be out. It looks as though he's going to miss most of the games. He said there's an outside chance of him making Arsenal on the final day but he didn't sound very confident when he said that to be honest. He did confirm that Michalenko is fit and will be fine for the game but he did also say that Ben Godfrey, Donnie van der Beek, both missing from Wafford and hopefully he'll be back for next week's games. It wasn't clear about Brentford on Sunday, certainly where Godfrey was concerned but he talked about next week's games as in Crystal Palace and Arsenal the final game of the season. Llandpad was quick to say there's still work to be done. Obviously a very difficult and tricky game against Wafford who have already been relegated but if Everton could win tomorrow night they'd give themselves a fantastic chance of securing a Premier League survival with two home games before that final trip to Arsenal on the last day. There was lots of fans gathered at Finch Farm today to see the team off, a good atmosphere down there, we were down there, Frank Llanbarth full of smiles and it's a boost really for the players ahead of what is a huge game for Everton. Wafford have come out with some of their team news today and have got six or seven players missing from their team, some of their better players out of the game with injury. Everton need to still attack the game in the same manner they've been playing for the last few weeks, nice and cautious make sure they hit them on a counter attack. It will be an under strength Wafford side but players sometimes who haven't been playing come in and give everything to try and prove a point so Everton need to be wary of that happening. And guard against it really because like I've just said if they were to win the game they'd give themselves a fantastic opportunity to secure their Premier League survival at Gouldersham Park which is everything we were hoping for a few weeks ago. Everton today have announced that they will return to the United States this summer, the Blues will take on Arsenal in Baltimore at the M&T Bank stadium that game will be played on Saturday the 16th of July. And then the Blues will travel to Minnesota to play against Minnesota United Agent Heath team in Minneapolis on Wednesday the 20th of July. So two games for the Blues in the United States as part of Everton's pre-season for next season so lots of excited Evertonians over in the United States be going to that. I'm quite sure there will be quite a few Blues travelling over there as well. And finally Everton have been linked with young West Brom striker Rhys Clary. He has rejected a pro contract at West Brom and Jalbion. He's very highly rated Everton linked to him a few times already. And obviously this is like kind of a similar situation in which we lost here each more last summer. The young highly rated player offered a contract at a club pro contract doesn't sign it because obviously he thinks the pathway is better. Remain to be seeing whether it will be at Everton. But that's the news coming out of West Brom today and Everton have previously been linked to Clary on two different occasions. He is a striker so it could be a watch this space for that. That is it for the news today. Do give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos join us on Patreon.

From San Francisco, it's theCUBE, covering Spark Summit 2017. Brought to you by Databricks. You are watching theCUBE at Spark Summit 2017. We continue our coverage here talking with developers, partners, customers, all things Spark. And today we're honored now to have our next guest, Dr. Ji Xiang Wang, who's the Senior Director of Data Science at the CTO office at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Dr. Wang, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me here. All right, and also to my right, we have Mr. Jim Kabilis, who's the lead analyst for Data Science at Wikibon. Welcome, Jim. Great to be here, like always. Well, let's jump into it. And first I want to ask about your background a little bit. We were talking about the organization. Maybe you could do a better job of telling me where you came from and you just recently joined HPE. Yes. I actually recently joined HPE early this year through the NERA acquisition. And now I'm the Senior Director of Data Science in the CTO office of Aruba. Actually, Aruba, you probably know like two years back, HPE acquired Aruba as a wireless networking company. And now Aruba takes charge of the whole enterprise networking business in HPE, which is about over three billion annual revenue every year now. That's not confusing at all. I could follow you. Yes, okay. Well, all I know is you're doing some exciting stuff with Spark. So maybe tell us about this new solution that you're developing. Yes, actually my most experienced of Spark now goes back to the NERA time. So NERA was a three and a half year old startup that reinvented the enterprise security using big data and data science. So what is the problem we solved in NERA, we try to solve in NERA is called UEBA, User and Entity Behavior Analytics. So I just try to be very brief here.  But what if the original of the attacker is the inside enterprise, say Snowden? What can you do, right? So you probably heard many cases today employees leaving the company by stealing lots of the company IP and sensitive data. So UEBA is a new solution. Try to monitor the behavior change of the enterprise users to detect both this kind of malicious insider and also the compromised user. Behavioral analytics. Yes, so it sounds like it's a native analytics driven product. Yeah, and Jim, you've done a lot of work in the industry on this. So any questions you might have for him around Yuba? Yeah, give us a sense for how you're incorporating streaming analytics and machine learning into that UEBA solution. And then where Spark fits into the overall approach that you take. Right, okay. So actually when we started three and a half years back, the first version, when we developed the first version of the data pipeline, we used a mix of Hadoop, you know, Yang, Spark, even Apache Storm for different kind of stream and batch analytics work. But soon after with increased maturity and also the momentum from this open source Apache Spark community, we migrated all our stream and batch, you know, the ETL and data analytics work into Spark. And it's not just the Spark, it's the Spark, Spark streaming, ML live, the whole ecosystem of that. So there are at least like a couple of advantages we have experienced through this kind of transition. The first thing which really helped us is the simplification of the infrastructure and also the reduction of the DevOps efforts there. So simplification around Spark, the whole stack of Spark that you mentioned, okay. So, you know, for the nearest solution originally, we support, even till today, we support both the on-premise and the cloud deployment. For the cloud, we also support the public cloud like AWS, Microsoft, Azure, and also private cloud. So you can understand with, you know, if we have to maintain a stack of different, like open source tools over this kind of many different deployments, the overhead of doing the DevOps work to monitor, you know, alarming, debugging this kind of infrastructure over different deployments is very hard. So Spark provides some unified platform. We can integrate the streaming, you know, batch, real-time, near real-time, or even long-term batch job all together. So that heavily reduce both the expertise and also the effort required for the DevOps. You know, this is one of the biggest advantages we experienced and certainly we also experienced something like the scalability, you know, performance, and also the convenience for developers to, you know, develop new applications, all of this from Spark. So you're using the Spark structured streaming runtime inside of your application, is that true? We actually use Spark in the stream processing when the data, so like in the UEBS solution, the first thing is collecting a lot of the data, different kind of data source, the network data, you know, cloud application data. So when the data comes in, the first thing is like a streaming job for the ETL to process the data. Then after that, we actually also developed some like a different frequency, like one minute, 10 minute, one hour, one day of this like analytics job on top of that. And even like recently we have started some early adoption of the deep learning into this, you know, how to use deep learning to monitor the user behavior change over time, especially after user gives a notice, you know, what user is user going to access like more servers or download some of the sensitive data. So all of this requires very complex, like analytics infrastructure. Now there were some announcements today here at Spark, some by Databricks of adding deep learning support to their core Spark code base. What are your thoughts about the deep learning pipelines API that they announced this morning? It's new, it's new news. I'll understand if you haven't digested it totally, but you probably have some good thoughts on the topic. Yes, actually this is also a news for me. So I can just speak for my current experience. How to integrate the deep learning into Spark actually was a big challenge so far for us. Because what we use so far, the deep learning piece, we use TensorFlow. And certainly most of the other stream and data, you know, massaging or ETL work is done by Spark. So in this case, there are a couple ways to manage these two. One is to set up like two separate resource pool. One for Spark, the other one for TensorFlow. But in our deployment, there's some like a very small premise department which has only like a four node, five node cluster. It's not efficient to split the resource in that way. So we're actually also looking for some like closer integration between deep learning and Spark. So one thing we looked before is called TensorFlow on Spark, which was open source a couple of months ago by Yahoo. So maybe this is certainly more exciting news for the Spark team to develop this native integration. Very good. And we talked about the UEBA solution, but let's go back to a little broader HPE perspective. You have this concept called the intelligent edge. What's that all about? So that's a very cool name.  And the enterprise applications have some like actually a lagged behind. Then consumer applications in terms of the adoption of the new data science technology. So there are some native challenge for that.  You know, also for the similar reason, how to collect, you know, normally when you develop enterprise applications, you're lack of some good quantity and quality of the training data. So this is some native challenge when you develop enterprise applications, but even despite all of this, HPE and Ruba recently made several acquisitions of the analytics companies to accelerate the adoption of analytics into different product line. Actually that intelligent edge comes from this like IOT. Which is the internet of things is expected to be the fastest growing market in the next few years here. So are you going to be integrating the UEBA behavioral analytics and spark capability into your IOT portfolio at HPE? Is that a strategy or direction for you? Yes, yes, for the big picture that certainly is. So you can think, I think some of the gotten the report expect the number of the IOT devices is going to grow over 20 billion by 2020. You know, since all of these IOT devices are connected to either internet or internet either through wireless. So as a networking company, we have the advantage of collecting data and they even take some actions at the first place. So the idea of this intelligent edge is to, you know, we want to turn each of these IOT devices, the small IOT device like an IP camera, like those motion detection, all of these small devices as both the distributed sensor for the data collection and also some inline like actor to do some real time or even close to real time like decisions, for example, the behavior anomaly detection is a very good example here. If IOT devices is compromised, you know, it's an IP camera has been compromised and used to steer your internal data, we should detect that and stop that at the first place. Can you comment about the challenges of putting deep learning algorithms natively on resource constrained endpoints in the IOT? That must be really challenging to get them to perform well, considering that there may be just a little bit of memory or flash capacity or whatever on the endpoints. Any thoughts about how that can be done effectively and efficiently? Very good question. And at low cost? Yes, very good question. So there are two aspects into this. First is this like a global training of the intelligence which is not going to be done on each of the device. In that case, each of the devices is more like the sensor for the data collection. So we are going to collect the data sent to the cloud, build all of this, you know, join the pool like a computing resource to train the classifier, to train the model. But when we train the model, we are going to shape the model. So the influence and the detection of the model of those like behavior anomaly really happen on the endpoints. Do the training centrally and then push the trained algorithms down to the edge devices?  You cannot put even just the detecting piece there. So we also look into some new technology. I know like Kaffe recently announced release some of the lightweight deep learning models. You know, also there's some, you probably know there's some of the improvement from the chip industry. Yes. How to optimize the, you know, chip design for this kind of more analytics driven tasks there. Yep. So we are all looking to this different areas now. If just a couple of minutes left and Jim, you get one last question after this, but I got to ask you, what's on your wish list? What do you wish you could learn or maybe what did you come to Spark Summit hoping to take away? You know, I, I've always treated myself as a, you know, technical developer, you know, one thing I very, I'm very excited these days is the emerging of the new technology, like Spark, like TensorFlow, like Kaffe, you know, even big deal, which is announced this morning. So this is something like the first goal when I come to this, you know, bigger events, industry events, I want to learn the new technology. And the second thing is most to share our experience and also about, you know, adopting of this new technology and also learn from, you know, other colleagues from different industries, how people change life, you know, disrupt the older industry by taking advantage of the new technologies here. You know, the community is growing fast. I'm sure we're going to receive what you're looking for. Jim, final question? Yeah, I heard you mentioned DevOps and Spark in the same context. And that's a huge theme. We're seeing more DevOps as being wrapped around the life cycle of development and training and deployment of machine learning models. If you could have your ideal DevOps tool for Spark developers, what would it look like? What would it do in a nutshell? Actually, it's still, I just share my personal experience. In near, we actually develop a lot of the in-house DevOps tools. Like, for example, when you run a lot of different Spark jobs, stream batch, you know, like a one-minute batch versus one-day batch job, how do you monitor the status of those workflows, you know? How do you know when the data stops coming? How do you know when the workflow like failed? Then even how to monitor is a big thing. And then alarming when you have something failure or something wrong, how do you alarm it? And also the debug is another big challenge. So I certainly see the growing effort from both Databricks and the community on different aspect of that. Very good. All right, so I'm going to ask you for kind of a sound-bite summary on the spot here. You're in an elevator and I want to answer this one question. Spark has enabled me to do blank better than ever before. Certainly, certainly.  It helps a lot.  I think they are on the right track. All right. Dr. Wong, thank you so much for spending some time with us. We appreciate it. And going to the rest of your day. Yeah, thanks for being here. And thank you for watching theCUBE. We're here at Spark Summit 2017. We'll be back after the break with another guest.
