Thank you. Oh, really? Thank you. Thank you. Are you having a lot? Yeah. Are you having a great day yet? No? Okay, guys. Take some more. Just a little bit. A little bit. Well, today I definitely have the honor and privilege to introduce our next speaker. She goes by CA, Lucas. I want to make sure I get that correct. Mrs. Lucas wrote her first news story. That's just a manual typewriter. I don't want her to say that. So I kind of think I know what they would like. She worked for the newspapers in Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, San Francisco, and San Antonio in 1997. Well, she was the assistant senator for San Antonio Express News. She went to the web in 1995. In 2007, she was manager for the nine news challenge. Ms. Lucas was named to the advisory board for the journalism study department for San Antonio. And as a town member of the local online news publisher association board of directors, we'd like for her to do the stages of yours. Thank you. Thank you. The online, local online, independent online news publishers association has fabulous acronyms, lion hubs, for all the indies, all other things. That's a lot of time. Let me start by telling you where Nowcast came from. Let's see if I can go forward. Yay. Okay. Nowcast was born from a challenge grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. You've heard their name on public radio in the morning. They used to own some of the best newspapers in the country, Philadelphia, Miami, San Jose. They all won multiple Pulitzers every year and they got run out of the newspaper business by Wall Street and now have issued grants to try to invent the future of news since there is a bill of consensus that the old model is kind of broken. So they put out a news challenge and the specific news challenge that created Nowcast was one aimed at community foundations. So the San Antonio Area Foundation and a sister organization that was known as ACES, now known as CNOW, applied to that grant. And that was because the Knight Foundation felt like information is a core community need and that foundations should be the folks who are most in touch with the kinds of information you need to community have. So San Antonio Area Foundation put up some money to match the Knight Grant and a bulk of the money came from what was then known as ACES and it's now known as CNOW. CNOW is a bunch of organizations that came together in the 90s to share the data in each of their silos. It was a remarkable thing. Government transparency that we're getting used to now but back in the 90s it was a really amazing thing. The organizations that belong to CNOW is not a formal 501 to 3. It's a confederation with the United Way as a fiscal sponsor. This organization includes Methodist Health and Ministries, ACUB, the United Way, University Health Systems, all sorts of folks who have data inside their silos and they came together to democratize the data. So when Knight came out with this challenge about information, who better to also team up than CNOW? So this is the CNOW website and if you look at the top on the right-hand side there, you see the three arms of CNOW.  Now data, now CASSA, and now TEC. In the beginnings, now TEC took advantage of the community technology centers inside like the Dolores-Wexner Center, the Benavidez Center and the website, all those places and did bilingual computer training with some funds that CNOW provided to the city. We still use those technology centers and now CASSA actually does training in those technology centers that we can. The other arm is now data. And now data is where the origins of CNOW, where all that data is located. And if you go to now data, you can see who CNOW is, where they came from, who else did I forget. Funding comes from also from Kunkowski and I think I've mentioned most of the primary partners. I love now data because that is where you can get not just the data, but the data that puts things in context. So we did a map for the second year in a row of all the back-to-school shots and immunizations and stuff. And we put that map together at now CASSA, but we also use along with that a map out of CNOW that shows the immunization rate by census tract in San Antonio. And also you can get on their interactive maps through a WEAP system that shows you immunization preventable diseases and you can see it over the years. I mean this is a static shot, but if you go to CNOW and CNOW data you can get that kind of data and it's fabulous because the visualization of that data you can cross-transit against other stuff. So it's really, it's really, really cool stuff. As a lifelong journalist, I love data a whole lot because and I love putting it in context. So we love being partnered with them. And that is the nail cast arm. As you can see the featured story of the home page today is this. And we are not streaming this session, but we've been streaming the end sessions and then we just, because we could, stream the Skype session of the woman from New York. So this is the second year. We've done the health literacy conference. We are actually teamed up with the Bear County health assessment and then subsequently with the health collaborative. If you go to the outcast, check out the about. We try to put everything there that you might want to know. Our primary mission is to facilitate an inclusive civic conversation or civic engagement is our primary mission and education. And we do all sorts of different kinds of things, whether it's training, whether it's webcasting, whether it's doing video stories, all sorts of things, but it's all aimed at civic engagement and education. When I first came to nail cast, all of my colleagues across the country were talking about so-called citizen journalism. And it was like we'd get a whole bunch of people to come and write for us for free, which is sort of the way they looked at it. And I kind of think that in order for people to come and want to contribute to a website, you've got to have some sort of magnet, some sort of thing that makes it worth a while, some sort of value exchange. And I ran into some folks in the University people here who are familiar with this thing called Photo Voice. And us journalists were kind of like, what? And then I realized, oh, that's the good part of what they call citizen journalism, right? So in the history of it, as many of you know, it goes back to the 90s and it involves basically letting people in the community tell us what the problems are as opposed to old school media saying, the New York Times has learned top-down stuff. So I took some of those concepts of Photo Voice and applied them with help from people including Adelisa Tentu. Thank you. Applied them in San Antonio to try to get some more answers about this obesity epidemic. And that truly is going to lead to the video thing, I promise. So we took this data, and it's by campus, and took it around to different parts of the city and worked with, we referred to them as community journalists because I don't text people's documentation and want to get to the facts. And we took them around and went to, with Dr. Tentu's help to the Good Sam Center on the website and worked with some of the Modellas, the really promising young kids, and handed this data to them and said, what's behind this? What's leading to this obesity epidemic? We went to the Esperanto-Egyptian Justice Center and worked with several women there and said, tell us what's behind these numbers? What's causing this epidemic? We went to the Benavidez Center on the website and worked with some young people who were just getting their GEDs and who were very anxious to help us with this project. So it was those three groups of people and we turned them loose with cameras and some instructions about how not to get hurt and don't stand in the middle of the street with a camera, stuff like that. And said, please go take pictures of what is in your neighborhood that you think is behind these numbers. This is one of the young women who worked with us from the Benavidez Center. And what she did was snap pictures of the positives as far as she's concerned behind this obesity. Hello, my name is Felicia Glindo. I live on the website and there are many mobility obstacles to leading a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few examples. There are overgrown bushes on the sidewalks. There are cracked sidewalks. There are weeds that are growing that are an issue for walking on the sidewalk. And there's trash just broken pieces of sidewalk that's just unable to walk there. I was walking my kids one day to school and I told my kids, watch out with the broken sidewalk. Well, actually the one who would end up tripping was me instead of my kids and my kids turned around and said, mommy, you tripped on the broken sidewalk when you told us to be careful. So it was kind of just embarrassing. I won't walk there ever again. And then the other obstacle that there is is a bunch of stray dogs that just roam around in the neighborhoods, which is actually dangerous because they can go along by either one of the dogs or the most important, the kids. Thank you for your time. So back in the old days when I was a print journalist we might have written a story saying, oh gee whiz, it's diet, it's people who are being maybe lazy, it's whatever. And all of a sudden I'm learning from people who are in the neighborhood with stray dogs, it's graffiti, it's broken sidewalks, it's a whole bunch of other things and addressing that obesity epidemic is not just a question of changing people's diet. And the whole community learns from something like this when we do a project like that what she has to say is so much more on point, authentic, real, and valid than necessarily what I as a journalist would have had to say. And so then the city listens to that and the city says, maybe we need to change the way we even go about developing streets. And God bless them, the city's planning department said, okay we're going to try to go with this complete streets concept that takes into consideration people and pedestrians and bicyclists. And so then all of a sudden from this fabulous thing where I sent her out with a camera and instructions and some data you have the ability to cause change for a healthier community. So it was pretty exciting. And for her too because somebody was saying I give a damn about what your organization's on and about your neighborhood. So it was really, really powerful. I don't know more people that are trying to believe and figure it out. Well yeah, I mean there has been a real concerted effort. I mean and I think in many different parts of the city to try to deal with that I think that the city manager has said in the past three years that she's recognizing that as a serious problem. Council people in various districts I've heard them talk about it at budget sessions and I've heard them talk about putting more money into that but also putting more money into sidewalks and putting more money into streets that take into consideration that people will walk. Want to walk. So making it more possible to have a healthy lifestyle. But yeah, the dogs are part of that. And the graffiti is part of that. They're big for dogs. Yeah, so I mean and that's, I think that's another possibility to take it to the next step and say okay now look at what else needs to be changed. I have to tell you that one of the most fabulous things that we've done lately was to livestream Wednesday a groundbreaking which is not something that old school journalists get really excited about you know it's like not it doesn't usually tick my clock but we had a request to come out and do groundbreaking in Breckenridge Park for the new Animal Adoption Center. And if you recall that place in Breckenridge Park was where it was a premature for dogs and cats. It was on Chuleta right across from the zoo and it was a it was a really right under the freeway right next to the something gardens. Sure, yeah. It was a wretched place. I mean it was a place of death and all of that's been torn down and in part to grant money from the Petco Foundation from Paul Jolly who is the head of the Petco Foundation he gave a million dollars for it and the city put up more money and that's going to be an Animal Adoption Facility. So, pardon me it's still ACS but it's going to be named Paul Jolly Adoption Center not a place of death. Not there. And one of the reasons that I got so excited about joining the livestream is that Paul Jolly who contributed money is terminally ill and couldn't come to the groundbreaking and I got a phone call from the city saying if you webcast it then you can watch it from this home in San Diego. And so, we put three hammers on it. We webcast it first class and it was really a moving event you know, so yes so suddenly a story about an Animal Adoption Place becomes about the city's health you know it's all tied together. We do a lot of live streaming obviously it's a huge amount of it and one of the cool things that I don't know, they're not in this room but two of my board members are in the other room Pilar Oates and Steve Blanchard both of them are a part of the health collaborative Steve is the chair of it right now and so a couple of years ago Steve came to us and said hey could you could you do this? and I said yeah let's try it so the health assessment was on the website trying to gather information for the community health assessment in 2010 and he said could you webcast it and so we went to Benavides and we live streamed it from Benavides and Pilar was there in the room and realized that a lot of people were having a little difficulty and so she ended up also doing a simultaneous translation to Spanish of everything that was going on in the health assessment so it was a rather remarkable moment it was a plethora and people were talking and it was a great great interactive session now at the time I didn't feel like necessarily the webcast was going into that neighborhood I mean we know there is a big digital divide about who can get internet service so we but by the same token what was really good about it was that we had a video archive of what had happened so even if not too many people watched it live online all sorts of people could come back and watch it after that so that had a tremendous value and that video is still up on the website because everything we do is pretty much our product so later that year the health assessment went to the east side to do the same thing at the club black community center and we webcast it but this time we kind of knew we could so we told people in advance as opposed to saying I hope we can let's not over promise so a lot of people we told them in advance and there was a lot of word that got out and as is the case with much of the stuff that we do everybody wants to be there in person but if they can't be there in person they can watch it online so we had so many people watching online with the online audience when people went to tables with facilitators the online audience said where's our facilitator and that's what had to happen we had to get somebody online to chat with them to chat with the online audience because they wanted their own facilitator they were that engaged with the issue where's that at? so what you're seeing right here is the online chat with that map they're chatting online with those folks and in the background you see that's our webcast here that you've seen next to us all day today and it's the people from HR IA doing the doing the facilitation with the online audience so when that stuff happens that's like completely wonderful magic and then we can save that chat and it becomes part of the health assessment and it becomes a whole other perspective of people who for whatever reasons and some of them may be accessibility so think about that then you're adding a whole other dimension to the health assessment of people who can't get out no no no no it's all it's all serious stuff so this is a public media right and at most public meetings there is no expectation of privacy and there's not a practitioner-patient kind of relationship going on so I mean that's just speaking me also speaking as a journalist so when I go to a city council meeting or a budget hearing or something like that there's no expectation of privacy and there's no contractual relationship that would involve a typical thing right but by the same token we do make sure that people know I mean there's nothing ever sneaky about it I mean people know this is being webcast and if that does make you uncomfortable you know then we want to take some consideration to people so they don't feel like they're being put on the spot or something like that our goal is not to embarrass people our goal is to expand access you know but I'm sensitive to that too because obviously online we have to deal with a lot of copyright issues in other areas but in something like this and it's not an issue in this kind of thing there are other issues oh yes awesome it's not easy for you to do it it might be easy for us to do it or we might have already done it so yes and everything on our side speaking of that is Creative Commons 3 so that means that it's share share like with attribution non-commercial so it's absolutely you can, I mean how could I ever copyright a budget session anyway it's kind of tough I was thinking it's worth taking a minute to explain go ahead I didn't mean to because the question came up about copyright I think that's a worthwhile I think it's a important concept for people so generally speaking on most news sites you will see copyright so and so and they have it all protected somebody was telling me asking me the other day you want to do some Stephen Colbert stuff and as I say it's like nope they better come and get you for that they do, they have people the when I ran my San Antonio and we have been in partnership with 10-5 and they were the Spurs team they were allowed to broadcast the Spurs games but we weren't online and they one time we had like 10 seconds of Spurs game because it was right before an interview and Spurs lawyers called us so the people who are serious about copyright are really serious and they will come and get you however there is for web purposes a lot of people have adopted different levels of creative commons so that people can share stuff without and know what terms they can share it on without getting in trouble so if you see something on our site that you like the terms we have is creative commons 3 and there are several levels of creative commons and ours is the 3rd level which says share, share a light with attribution non-commercial but you can have different flavors of each of those kinds of things and if you look at creative commons the website it gives a wonderful explanation of that and what you can do we do that and other some other websites do that because quite frankly it's a lot less hassle I mean I can't pay lawyers I couldn't copyright a budget you know I mean it's not what I want to do it's not the kind of thing that I'm into and clearly some people like Colbert or MSNBC are very much into that there's one other thing that came up that I should point out to that's called fair use so when somebody has copyrighted something like for instance the entire Super Bowl performance nobody else is allowed to use that except if something newsworthy happens like there is a wardrobe malfunction the rest of us are allowed to use like that 15 seconds of wardrobe malfunction but we're not allowed to archive it so we can use it like once for a news broadcast but then we have to like not make it continually available in our site so that's a whole different thing which is fair use but it's also worth knowing that that's how we get away with confusing the wardrobe malfunction even though the rest of the things they would get us for trying to use it okay so that is the community health improvement plan that came out and it included stuff that was gathered through this through traditional needs and also through our webcast which is very cool and we webcast that too and roll again and people came on who couldn't be there in person and we're chatting about that during the course of that now I want to show you this thing because we have in the side of the room what we've got is a $10,000 tricaster what we've got is $3,500 cameras and a lot of other stuff which is pretty much beyond the capability of normal morals so that's like up there that's what the grant paid for there is another level and that level is a laptop and my husband uses a camera that's a $650 camera and a laptop and streams with two cameras and a map so that's the middle level that's very mobile and very easy to do as a matter of fact right now we're taking the tricaster and pushing it through a map one of the reasons we're pushing it through the map right now is it's a digital divide thing we can use a program in the map that pushes stuff out pushes the video out in html5 anyone know html5 html5 it is new so most videos that you see on youtube and stuff are flashed and actually our videos in the archive are flashed but this is streaming the video out in html5 and what that means is that you don't need an app it's the anti-app if you have an android or an iphone or an okia that is internet accessible you can watch our live streams with no app live so you can just tap right into them or you can watch it on a mobile device so what that does for us the pew study i think that the young woman in the skype section is talking about two years ago pew said guess what we discovered the iphone adoption mobile phone adoption with incomes below $25,000 is just skyrocketing so i can go to and i have been to the poor census tract in the city and people do not have internet in the house they have internet in the pocket and i can stream straight into their hands and just leapfrog like that the individual so i push as often as we can we push that stuff out and we're doing it our old tri-cash we came to it so we push it through the mac and out and get it into people's hands i love about that because i've seen that too with the communities that we've worked with but i want to preach to you that may not limit but it has to have us think about what you're going to show them here we have to think about we have to think about that we're thinking about that more and more and actually part of what a friend of mine who writes a lot about this discovered that for the telenovelas they're shooting cameras and so they're shooting one for mobile and it's a real close up it's going to fill this little screen they're shooting for that screen completely another version and so we're doing more and more of that too we reformat stuff just for this screen or we do make sure we're doing much more close ups so that it's better on the screen but it's a whole different videography guide back here shooting a whole different way paying attention to how big the screen is so wouldn't it be needed if somebody entered a university hospital half on their phone and visually somebody's saying on here how to navigate the system when they walk into the university I just go you know I used to work for University Hospital for three years and that's the biggest thing when you walk into the hallways patients are like how do I get here and get there and that would be awesome I mean talk about literacy you know what I'm talking to you when you're a language real common this is how you do it that would be us I go to University Hospital I work for the health sciences and I can't find my way to the hospital something that occurs for me is you've seen the little barcode things right so we have been experimenting with them and having them go straight to video and the first one we did with that was actually the bridge at Mulberry Street in Breckenridge Park with the towed ceramic bar we did a little feature about the artist and optimized it for mobile and then did a little barcode so that you can put your smartphone up against that barcode and go straight to the video about the bridge because it's like really cool and she's trying to have that put onto the plaque so that when you're at the bridge you can like hit that thing and then see a video about the bridge and the potential for that so we did that because it was cool that we could but the potential for that everywhere in the city including on the wall inside of University Hospital of doing a little video or a little thing that gets absolutely triggered by that barcode you know and having it purposely meant to try to come to be for a nice and calm person you know absolutely absolutely you could part of what I'm trying to do is say okay these are some of the things we've done not all of them are health related but it's going to trigger you to say this is what else we could do and to say this is how else we could use it or this is another application I'm quick right now because quick is one of my favorite free things that you can use to stream how many people in here have an iPhone or an Android that is connected to the web right and you can see video on it right so you can shoot video with it too and if you go to quick you can get an app that will allow you to open up your phone and go there and immediately do what I'm doing right now which is streaming live to our channel on the web the other thing that's done and I did this four years ago at the Democratic Convention for Journalism Students we streamed live from Denver and if somebody is watching there's something streamed here we can type in a question on the screen and that question shows up right here so you have a completely interactive experience with somebody as much as you can I used it here for I've used it here for a couple of things one is what you see right here Mario Salas a fabulous tour of the east side that included all sorts of fun places fun things like a tour through the cemeteries and a stop at the grave site of Charles Belanger and a power rover and Mario was giving a great tour of things and his great description of things and Andrew I was walking around with an actual live serious camera and I was walking around with this and Geo tagged those things on that so you can look at this map and see all the different places you went to and see all the different things now Dromitore was looking at some of this stuff and said wow we could like map assets for health assets we could do something like that and there are all sorts of really interesting potentials with this this is the other free tool that we're using a lot and I think this has got tremendous potential and I don't know all the different ways but you guys can imagine some of the different ways we're using a new crowd source it's called Crowdback it is based on software called Ushihidi and Ushihidi is it was developed about four or five maybe more years ago if you have people with a PD at it real quick yeah soon again it's U-S-H-I-D-I it is the Swahili word for testify and it was created for crowd sourcing incidents of election violence in Africa 2007 2007 for the Kenyan sorry Ushihidi was developed to people could report election violence and they could do it by using some dumb phones and or smart phones so it was meant to have very, very, very low barrier to entry and it was fabulous and popular and so now we have our version here which is Crowdback and we have done two or three of them when you're looking at here and Andrew is going to show you the mobile version he's been standing there ready for it Andrew and I went around the west side with getting a tour a COPS Metro tour of all the different things that COPS Metro did on the west side and he took video and I drove and we went to all of these different places we went to all of those different places and Andrew cut up the video into 20 different pieces and put each piece of the video on that map and so you can go to that map and you can pull up the video of Andy tracking about how in this place in town they got bond money to stop the floods so that people didn't die and and you can and the mobile version is so sweet it's unbelievable jump, jump, jump, jump so each one of those points is a story right and it's also called iPhone and iPad you're breaking things the app is downloadable for iPhone or iPad it's a simple thing to download and then once you do download it you can see all of the maps that we've done which includes COPS Metro we did our backpacks back to school backpacks and immunization shots on this map this year because it's so sweet on mobile so one of the cool features about this app is that it allows you to find maps that are around and how do you store that again G U, S, H I, B, I so one of the cool features about it is that it allows you to discover maps that are already created around you and it uses the location in your bodies to find maps so right here if I put the app there's a lot of people that are using this right now so real quick the ones that are around us are in Texas Weather San Antonio, COPS Metro, San Antonio back to school maps East Side Promise Orbits, Summer Activities Wildflowers, San Antonio Bond Projects in 2012 Cusin, Paw Patrol Texas School Funding Map, Share Your Story Texas Wildflower Reports and the Texas Fireworks those are just some of the things that are out there so what it does is it gives you two views the first view is it allows you to just kind of scroll all the different locations on that map that we plotted so when we went around it we were just really talking about how COPS Metro was involved in San Antonio history and any libraries, community centers street prepared and you can just find all these on a map so if you click a random one what it does is it takes you to this screen and on this screen so this is the project up top so this one was COPS Metro Almond North Drainage Project it's verified the description says former communities organized for public service COPS President Andy Serrabio discussed activism in San Antonio during the 70s the Almond North Drainage Project was just a segment in a much larger coordination led by COPS leaders to get proper drainage on San Antonio West Side so the area of the city is built on the left the drainage system that's currently gone on the West Side was approved by City Council after COPS and it is a counter-budget and has multiple confrontations of other communities right under that it looks like that's a historical project because COPS Metro is still around a lot of the projects are active so you can categorize whether it was a historical project or an active, you can create your own categories from there and it also gives you the time and make in this happening this project was completed on Thursday October 28th, 1976 and we got that from looking at articles and doing a little bit of research they'll give you a map so on the map you can actually click and it'll take you there and you can see a screen view the current view and right under that are documents that we pulled up from archives at UTSA Special Collections you know it has pictures of the drainage project, a map it has current pictures articles that were written by the San Antonio Express the express bus team that the San Antonio line I mean it's just really information rich and at the very bottom if you keep scrolling down these are all just pictures and the very bottom is a video that you created and this is the segment of the interview that we had with Anise Rodney discussing this project what happened when we were doing this events kind of overtook that so we were just about finished with this thing and then all of a sudden we hear that Cops Metro is going on brand new walks on the west side right and we were like oh wow we just have this map and so we called up Jorge and said hey guess what we have and you can download this app and so he did he downloaded his app on this iPhone and so the next day when they went on their walk with Chief McManus and the sheriffs he uploaded some copies from that to this very self-seeing map so it's like this living, breathing, growing history book of the west side and Cops Metro Metro Alliance that we continue to evolve and it can evolve just like that as people add their photographs and we have some control over when things are added and when we approve that things are added and then it came in from a person who we trust and stuff but after we say oh yeah we approve Jorge then you can just add stuff as it happens these are all just really short videos but if you go back to the other few that we had instead of having this on this video all these there's about 20 of them on here and these are all just little projects like that that we documented and as C.A. was saying Cops Metro is still around and they're still being called off so actually this is the current project they are already posted now so just once that is thank you and Anthony was shot with a really good camera but it what your device has is when the app allows you to shoot stuff and then there was a problem this is by Jorge's cell phone when he added to the map this was the project that they did it was a St. Timothy in San Juan neighborhood walk it was over 60 Cops Metro leaders ready to walk their neighborhood in response to rising crime issues as they can be chief and in advance this is the current project it happened at 8 to be 6 a.m. on Saturday July 28th 2012 at 1515th on the Hill Street San Antonio Texas and these are the pictures that you see up there that he submitted from his phone using this app and so if you go back to this view again then you switch over to the map this is the map current project and so it's really simple we just started this map this is now CASSA webcast that we've done around the city so today just sitting here right now I'm taking pictures I'm trying to plot what we're doing here today on the map and it's really simple there's a little button right here and it's a report when you click it and on this screen it just lets you type in all the information the title, the description, the category the date and time are reported for you as the location and you can add photos right here see that and you can also obviously connect it to social media so you can put it up and stuff like that we did another one the other night it's got 300 events in it from National Night Out bless us it looks like all the stars in the sky and I know I'm tickled that we now have the undying affection of the San Antonio Police Department at least the folks were involved in National Night Out because they kind of have an idea of how big a deal as well as to get this all in one spot but a lot of neighborhood associations helped out too and the cool thing is that they're sending in photographs so we're going to this thing is going to be populated with photographs from National Night Out and stuff and so we're kind of building this beautiful community tapestry of, you know what it looked like in San Antonio on National Night Out so yeah the web is a really funny critter on YouTube we can tell male, female and a certain amount of age demographic but on the actual website we have far fewer demographics so we can tell the city that a person is from what we can tell more of is if you please sign up for the website we ask for your zip code so we can then at least get a sense of are we serving the whole community right, that's it when we ask for when you sign up and it is sincerely because we're trying to make sure that we're serving the whole community and not just part of that I just saw a brand that was my email from the EPA on asthma and how to give you an understanding of environmental contaminants that can send you to asthma and I was told me how this would look like if we could document people in San Antonio where those asthma triggers are tell a story from that and give it to parents, to caregivers so they can make a connection between the environment where it was triggered because that's the essence of this brand is that a way of awareness that there's that connection a connection between place yeah, where you're living, where the traffic you're by, the school that were what planted by the school we were just talking about the cold running the heat gas again, thinking about how literacy is a way to visually show parents that would be so cool and because you would have the geotag built into the phone it would automatically pop it, so yes that would be fabulous it could be a matter of giving parents, caregivers whatever is to the west and I think how long did you spend on the phone with Jorge telling him how to get it downloaded in two minutes yeah, so I think since it's coming from the Michigan platform, it's designed to not be complicated and it's designed to make it easy and you know it's a question of getting people to want to do it having a magnet on here talking about natural night out yeah, well there was only one but about contaminant there's some of that it's also probably I think that would be good with all of those problems with sidewalkers basically non-sidewalkers mostly fast food restaurants are one of our little things but it's not super market there's nothing out there there are physical activities and nutrition but it's going to change because of all that but I had a question we had voice, we had audio would you have a real-time app that would translate between one language and the other so I recorded something in English and I had it as a presentation do you have an app that would be able to translate as an information what we have on many occasions as we can we do get Spanish language audio onto the website not written in Spanish but Spanish language audio and what we've done is captioned it in English actually he's done a lot of that work he's actually not an intern anymore but right now that's the deal for audio much more so than anything else it's trying to translate it we were talking about that that would be a creative move we were talking about adding a ticker at the bottom of the webcast we're adding it and many of the public hearings that we go to there's somebody doing a translation so we were thinking about trying to get that as a separate audio feed maybe you're trying to pull that in to the webcast if somebody is there doing it anyway the internet translator right he did something crazy there we did we put a whole lot of effort into translating the written words about the spurs into Spanish because we figured if people would want to read anything in Spanish they would want to read the spurs and we found that it was mostly men of Genoa who stand in Argentina who are Polish I don't any longer go to the effort of getting written Spanish onto the website because it strikes me it's not as valuable to people as audio the range of your website yeah we've been to six continents so okay so for those of you who've heard the story before pause it soon after we were created we did SA-2020s and we did a bumper to bumper and grandma said hey would you come and webcast a chess match and I said okay and it was actually a chess final so it was a chess master playing 32 people at once in the Mali crew at library at Roosevelt High School and I said sure what the heck so we did on Sunday before Christmas we sent four hours webcasting a chess match and he was standing in the middle of the camera going around they were all in a circle and we had a guy doing play-by-play a chess master and he was like oh now he's doing this it was so cool and we told the online audience please give them to us so they were hey you want a close up of board 34 seriously that was one of the times they were like oh okay we can close up and so then I told one of my friends who I've known on Twitter since 2007 New Media Jim he said NBC camera man attached to the White House and I said hey look what we got two cameras on and I had not paid attention to New Media Jim's following since we became friends but he is attached to the White House so he goes all over the world with the President and has for many years so he's followed by 46,000 people on Twitter so when he said hey look what they're doing in San Antonio a whole lot of people all over the world started watching us and we went to Six Confidence Antarctica was the only place we didn't get to and I know they have the internet there but anyway so now I used to think of those international things that's not necessarily you know it's not San Antonio except that Wani Wani's last name who is a Harley Bell high school grad who was an intern for the mayor who is now at Stanford she has been online at every single essay 2020 from either Stanford or from her year abroad in Rome or from London or from wherever she happens to be essay 2020 was an envisioning process that took from 2010 to 2011 and when people came together to sort of produce a strategic plan for the city and they outlined 11 different areas that they wanted to focus on including education health, arts neighborhoods there's a mayor's initiative and there is an organization now essay 2020 that's trying to meet those benchmarks by 2020 by the year 2020 that's what it's aimed at and that organization is now headed by Gerald Berg so just kind of one comment I always tell the nurses global it's global so we reached them back to we always come back to the second thing is did I know something going on are we really something in school how do we contact you is there a charm okay so thank you we are by the way a nonprofit organization very much like the Texas Health Radio we're sort of like public television on the internet so we don't charge for stuff but we do accept donations for investment like you call it but for news articles we encourage people to sign up for the website and actually put it in all by yourself if you don't have the time or inclination to put it in all by yourself we can send it to news and now cast essay and I think if you go to now cast essay oh yes there's one the email is dot org it doesn't matter which one you use so I'm signed in right now you see that big button on the side that says contribute news and if you're not signed in and you hit that big button it will tell you please sign up and it will tell you what to do so no we don't charge we do have to look for underwriting for things like today our webcast is being underwritten by the health club because they see this incredible value in being able to open up the room and we did get $51,000 worth of earned income last year from underwriting and sponsorship and stuff like that and this year we're up to 101 we have a great testament to the people in the community who say this is not even when we want to open the room but no there's absolutely no charge to sign up and sign up through the newsletters because while you're there there's a newsletter join newsletters it says and then you won't miss any of the really cool stuff that we do including where are you going to be yeah where we're going to be so even if you're not there could a town ball and pre-k for SA oh that would be great ones the architectures and also no the other thing is that you can always go back and replay the video later and if you holler at us and say I really like this video we can find a way to get you slices of it a lot of times I remember when we did that the knockouts of the oh hello Dan Ramos so there's a picture of me hanging from the velcro hanging a clear modem for the velcro because the church had no internet service and we screamed and it said 12,000 4 hours and it said 12,000 pages and it said please do how do you manage bandwidth or something like that where you have so many people doing much disease basically we only stream say our board meetings and our IT department when I said oh we're going to stream our meetings they freaked out and the lead is going to crash phones it's going to crash everything don't do it so we have a contract with a company that handles the stream board it's really expensive well actually the live stream is the company that we stream from and they


Hi, Tony Vincent here. Wordle has inspired the creation of many grid-based word and number games. I've listed some on my website that teachers may want to offer students. Take a look and you'll see a way to make your own Wordle. A Times Table Sequence game, an Order of Operations game, Spanish Wordle, a Partner Wordle, and others. Now, I bid you a due, which is a good first wordle guest. So many vowels.


The tones these amps are so versatile. You know, I'm a soul guy. So I need I need a clean like beautiful sexy reverb and and all of these guys have that which I was very much Craving and but also I love to you know, I love Jimi Hendrix. I love to jump into the rock-and-roll world. So having the clean and having Some dirty gritty nasty crunchy distortion Exactly what I need so I dig it


Welcome to another edition of Haiti. Haiti is a series of videos I do where I respond to viewer questions and comments. These viewer questions and comments they typically come from comments on the videos that are posted on YouTube and on library. Sometimes these viewer questions and comments come from Mastodon, from Reddit, from email. And the very first question I want to address is Haiti, honest question. At this point of the timeline is it worth it to start a YouTube career on Linux instead of focusing your efforts primarily on sites like library? So he's asking why be on YouTube if library is exploding in popularity, which it really is. And the monetization program on library is actually really good. It's probably better than on YouTube. Typically on library, you make more per view on library than you do per view on YouTube.  And if you put out good content, you're going to make money on library where the problem with library though is even though it's becoming more and more popular, you're still not going to get nearly as many views on library as you are on YouTube. And it's not like when you make video content, you only can be on one platform, you should actually be on multiple platforms just to be safe to reach the most viewers to get the most eyeballs on your content. You should be on multiple platforms, but also you want to be on multiple platforms in case one of the platforms you're on goes belly up, right? Maybe YouTube goes out of business or maybe YouTube goes crazy and decides to ban all Linux content and delete all the Linux channels off of YouTube. Well, luckily, I've got all of my videos synced over to library as well, so I can still direct people to another platform to go view those videos. All is not lost because I have this backup, if you will, this backup plan already in place. And the person that asked this question, he asked, you know, is it worth it to start a YouTube career about Linux rather than on library? It really doesn't matter the topic of the channel. Obviously, when you're talking about Linux and free and open source software, being on a free and open source platform like library makes sense. That's why I'm on it. But at the same time, if you're preaching the message of free and open source software, right, if you're trying to get people away from proprietary software over to free and open source software, then at the end of the day, you probably are going to have to interact with people that run proprietary software. And where do they hang out on proprietary platforms like YouTube and Facebook and things like that? If you only hang out in places where free and open source software zealots hang out, then really at the end of the day, you're not changing hearts and minds because everybody there already knows about the free software movement, right? At the end of the day, all you would be doing is preaching to the choir because that's not the right crowd to be preaching that message to. And the next question I want to address is, hey, DT, if we call YouTube content creators, YouTubers, what should we call library content creators, librarians? And that is actually the correct answer.  If you're on forums regarding library, the library discord channel, library subreddit and things like that, they typically refer to library content creators as librarians. Now, the weird thing with library isn't there's not just one library, there's not just one library website. You've got library.tv as a front end to library. You also have odyssey.com as a front end to library. So many people that publish the library actually say that they publish to odyssey because that's the front end that they use. It's all the same platform, though. I mean, what are you going to call people that publish exclusively to odyssey and refer to themselves as odyssey content creators? Well, I mean, obviously the name reflects the epics that were written by Homer, you know, so I guess you could call the folks on odyssey homers, but that sounds kind of lame. I would probably call them V travelers, virtual travelers, kind of like YouTube has VTubers. Yeah, we'll just call the folks on odyssey V travelers. Moving on to the next question. Hey, DT, just a small thing on your videos. I think it would look better if your face cam was inverted. That way you would be looking at the screen instead of away from us. Okay, so typically where I have my camera, which is not where I have my camera today, typically I have my camera like off to the side and at an angle, you know, because I record in a very small room, I cannot have my camera directly in front of me, except when I'm doing this kind of video here. But when I'm looking at my triple monitor screens, you know, I can't have a camera in front of me because the room is just too small. I can't put the camera far enough away to actually get good focus and everything. So what he's saying is maybe have the camera instead of on the right side of my triple monitors, maybe put my camera on the left side of my triple monitors, because typically I'm looking at this screen or I'm looking at that screen and I'm looking away. Well, I have a triple monitor system no matter where I put it on the left side or the right side. At some point I'm going to look at one of the other monitors. So I'm never going to be looking at a camera while I'm looking at my computer monitors. I just can't do it, not with the space that I'm currently recording in. The next question is, hey, DT, you are against proprietary software, but you are using a Linux kernel with proprietary blobs. Why he shouts and all caps? He goes on to ask, I mean, you could use the arch based distro parabola, rather than arco or manjaro or mainline arch, which all have the traditional Linux kernel that has proprietary blobs in them. Yeah, I would love to be able to use one of the 100% free as in freedom distributions like parabola or like geeks, which I've done some videos about geeks in the past on the channel, really like that distribution. And I tried to get that thing installed on my main production machine. It wouldn't install properly. I've tried to install various 100% free distributions on my three laptops behind me. And those Linux Libre kernel distributions, they don't work on any of my laptops because Wi Fi drivers, so many Wi Fi chips in all the popular brands of laptops that are out there. So many of them require a proprietary driver. There's no open source driver. And if there's no open source driver available, you can't use a Linux Libre kernel, or you're never going to have Wi Fi on that machine, unless you change out the Wi Fi card, you know, throw out the one that you got, go buy one that does have a free driver and install that. Yeah, you could do that. But most people are not going to change out hardware in their computers or change computers entirely, just to run the Linux Libre kernel. That's not the case for me. I'm a free software zealot, but I have thousands of dollars worth of equipment, you know, in these computers that my tower, the laptops and everything, I'm just not going to throw away perfectly good hardware, just so I can run the Linux Libre kernel. I mean, that's a step too far. I will, however, be more careful in the future with my purchases, especially with laptops, because laptops really the one sticking point for the most part are the Wi Fi drivers. And just make sure that the Wi Fi chip has an open source driver, and you'll be good. And that's what I'm going to do. Also, if you're buying a laptop, like that's a gaming laptop, and has a dedicated GPU, a graphics card, make sure it's not Nvidia, because you're not going to run an Nvidia card without using the proprietary drivers.  And nobody pays a lot of money on a high end Nvidia graphics card and then uses the crappy Nuvo drivers. Everybody uses the proprietary drivers. So I would have to make sure that it's either the Intel graphics or AMD graphics on the machine as well. Moving on to the next question, Haiti, I want to learn to use the terminal. I already shaved my head. What's next? Well, shaving your head is a good start. But the next thing is just go read. Well, it depends on what kind of learner you are. Are you one of those people that likes to read something? You can go read a wiki or read a book or an article or something and just absorb that knowledge. Are you a visual learner? Do you need to watch somebody do it on a video, like a YouTube video? So if you obviously want to see somebody do these kinds of commands, they shell commands in action, check out some of my older videos. I've done plenty of videos about the terminal and the command line. If you need a book, one of my favorite books, people often ask me about good Linux books to buy. And this is one of the best purchases I ever made here. This is the Linux command line and shell scripting Bible. And this thing is great. It's kind of thick, but don't let it scare you. It's actually, it's got a lot of examples and a lot of little snippets of code published in it. And it really will teach you the best shell, the GNU core utils, and some basic scripting. So I highly recommend that book. Again, if you want some YouTube videos, obviously, I've done some videos on the command line. And there are literally hundreds of other Linux YouTubers out there that have done basic terminal kind of videos. And the next question is, Hey, DT, why do you always allocate so little resources to your virtual machines? You have a 12 core 24 thread thread ripper, yet you only give the VMs one core each. So I give it one core, which is two threads of the CPU. And I give all my VMs four gigs of RAM. And that's plenty. I don't need to give them more than that for showing you guys these distros on video. Yes, I could give them more than that. If I was actually using the VMs to do work that then I would probably give the VM as much CPU and as much RAM as I could. But for purposes of my videos, my first look and installation kind of videos where I take a look at a distribution for the first time, I want to give it a normal amount of system resources. And my 12 core thread ripper, that's a pretty good CPU. And one core, two threads of that thing is plenty for any Linux distribution to run. The same thing with RAM, four gigs of RAM. I mean, I'm not, I'm not video editing in these, these virtual machines. I'm not running Blender and doing any kind of animation or anything that requires, you know, 128 gigs of RAM or whatever, you know, four gigs of RAM just for opening up a few programs and, you know, checking out the web browser or opening the terminal running a few commands, that's more than enough. And I also want to make sure that it's always a fair comparison from each distribution to the next. So I always give them the exact same system resources. I'm always going to give them one core, two threads of my CPU, and I'm always going to give them four gigs of RAM until the day where those kinds of system resources are no longer feasible. But the great thing about Linux is Linux isn't system resource heavy, right? This is not Windows. This is not Mac. The system resources I'm giving these VMs is more than enough for just taking them for a spin. And the final question is, hey, DT, you mentioned that you use all three shills, bash, ZSH and fish. I'm wondering about workflow and what each shell is used for. Okay, now I am not a normal Linux user, especially normal Linux desktop user. I have not just bash and ZSH and fish installed on my system. I also have the new shell installed. I think I have conscious installed. I have probably two or three other shills also installed on my, I have like eight shills installed on my machine. Why? It's because I do video content about Linux. And sometimes I need to check out these different shills. People ask me about things specific to bash, specific to ZSH, specific to fish. And that's why I mentioned that I have all three installed. And I often use all three, not at the same time, but you know, for various different things. Like when I am doing scripting, I'm always going to be in the bash shill if I'm scripting, especially at the command line, because I'm just used to the bash syntax, I'm always going to be in bash for that. Other than that, I'm going to be in fish. If I'm just moving around the file systems, you know, doing CD and LS and move and copy and things like that, you know, my preferred shill for that is fish just because of the great auto completion and the syntax highlighting and all of that comes with the fish shill out of the box. I love the fish shill, but scripting with the fish shill is completely different than bash. The syntax is different and it confuses the hell out of me. So I always try to do scripting in bash. If I'm just using the command line to install, remove software or whatever it is, I have been to be doing, you know, most of the time for that kind of stuff, I'm going to be in fish. And even if you use ZSH or fish, you're probably always going to have bash installed on your computer anyway. Even if you never use it, typically bash is the default shill on most Linux distributions. The only exception I know of is Ubuntu switch from bash as the default shill over to dash a few years back, but even Ubuntu still has bash installed on the system just in case it's needed. But I would once again say that I'm not a normal Linux desktop user because I do this video content, you know, I have all these shills installed on my system just so I have them handy when I need them and can play with them on camera. But that's not something that you guys need to do. You guys don't need to be proficient in bash ZSH fish, conch and the oil shell and all of this other stuff.  Now before I go, I need to thank a few special people. I need to thank the producers of this episode, Apsi Dallas Gabe, Lou Mitchell, Alan Akami, Archie 530, Chuck, David, the other David, Dylan Gregory, Lewis Paul, Scott Wesson, Willie, these guys, they are the producers of this episode of Haiti without these guys. This show would not have been possible. The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these ladies and gentlemen as well. All these names you're seeing on the screen right now. These are all my supporters over on Patreon because the DistroTube channel doesn't have any corporate sponsors. I'm sponsored by you guys, the community. And if you'd like to help me out, support my work. Look for DistroTube over on Patreon. All right, guys. Peace.


The Hitachi Information Forum in Santa Clara, the heart of Silicon Valley, big announcement today guys. Wow, very very un-Hitachi like with all this great marketing, right? Really tremendous messaging. We've seen it in the past a little bit from Hitachi but really seeing it today. Big, big stage, Jack Dome looking good, all pumped up, a couple customers, you guys here. Now DeVang, you were in Japan, right? Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, it was an interesting trip and all the flashiness that we saw today here. I mean, it's just amazing. Did you go, Rick? Yeah, yeah, we had this. You guys are both there. Tell us about that. What was that like? Yeah, there were six of us, right? Yeah, there's six of us that had gone and three of those are here today. Basically it's a preview program, you know, NDA and all that type of thing basically. So we can kind of get a feel for the message, the product, and the supporting elements of the product. Guys got the inside scoop? Yeah. Bloggers getting the inside scoop. We're breaking new ground, guys. It was amazing. They gave us access to all the engineering guys there. Would you go to Odawara? Yeah, we went to Odawara. Could you see Mount Fuji? No, no, it was a quick trip. I've been there a lot. I've never seen Mount Fuji. It's always been under clouds. Yeah, so four days, but pretty good information and every night we had dinners with Hitachi execs. So pretty open culture from that perspective. Did you attend the Hitachi user conference? Yeah, there was this conference by the name of U-Value celebrating Hitachi's 100th year anniversary and it was great to be there. They started making turbines back 100 years ago and all the innovation that has happened in the industry that Hitachi sort of leads today. Yes, so you guys really got a flavor for the culture. Right, the conglomerate nature of the bigger Hitachi. Oh yeah, and there's the storage server elements and software elements. It was a good program in terms of access for a blogger. That's unique for a blogger to have that type of access. I know that the guys, we really enjoyed it and to see a product pre-release at that level, that was, in my experience, I've not been really access to that level of detail, that level of exposure to the engineers or the product, to the messaging, everything up and down. It's been a pretty good journey as far as providing us that information. And you guys were able to give them a lot of feedback as well, I presume. I'm sure they were looking for that feedback. Some more than others. Yeah, so I think everybody brought in their own backgrounds and because we all came from different backgrounds, it was good to see the mix of information that they were looking for overall from the blogger community. All right, let's get into VSP. You guys are experts in this business, and I don't use that term lightly.  You see each other on Twitter. You really have a deep knowledge. What's your take, DeVang, on this announcement? What are the highlights for you? So I think it's market changing. First of all, you know, as we talk about SaaS, we talk about power consumption, you know, the SaaS to technology that they are incorporating into the VSP, sublime tiering, that's going to be a big announcement again. That's something that being it's being released as of as a version one. And an overall with virtualized storage, or with virtualization these days, and virtualized data centers, customers are looking to bring more efficiency to the data centers. And this is sort of that leap into storage and interfacing VMware from that extent or any virtualization and delivering the message of efficiency and doing more with less really. How about you, Rick? What are the high points of VSP from your perspective? Well, definitely to see a, I don't want to call it a purpose built virtualized storage engine, but that's kind of what it is. Yeah, exactly.  This is not the suit you buy a JC pen. So this is custom tailored. It's exciting in that sense, because it's going to reflect the the infrastructure requirements of the day. Okay, and I'm a VMware guy. So, you know, anything that is virtualization optimized from the start is good. I know that the VAI integration will be rolling in. It's an incremental release. So that's good to know. But you know, it's definitely not a hindsight element to the product, because you know, as I'm talking to the HDS folks, it's clear that that's not just a dot rev of the firmware. There's a lot of work that goes into VAI integration. And then that's only where we are right now with these three, you know, functions, and then what's going to come more with it. So it's good to see that virtualizing up and down the data center. And you know, outside of the VMware world, you know, you'll see software integrations from from like in the hyper V area start rolling in.  Well, the the VMware messaging, I thought was very good. And it was somewhat unexpected. From my standpoint, I had been hearing more hyper V from Hitachi. And I think they flipped that and really recognizing that the VMware is where it's sort of the IT economy right now. And I was impressed with the VAI integration and the timeliness of it. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think you have to reflect the market in my personal opinion, regarding the market is that the VMware's market is really only going to go down. I hate to say that for the typical server virtualization environment, hyper V is only going to come up. So I think that you have to start, you know, with the purpose built infrastructure right now, to be aware of the market and those two forces are just undeniable. And to an extent, you can roll in Citrix and Oracle VM and, and anybody else you might want to but definitely you have to have those two players from the start ready to go, you know, there's the message and then there's what's available. And you know, from the VMware side, I have a good, you know, handle about what's available and what's coming in an incremental release. But as far as hyper V, not quite as informed as I'd like to be, but that's, that's not really where I scale one to 10 Hitachi in VMware, in terms of competitiveness of offering, you know, one being do over and 10 being, you know, world dominance, where would you put them? I would put them, I would put them at a nine simply because their other product was VAI ready on day one with their AMS series. It's a lot easier to roll modular storage into that type of feature set. But there was a very small list of people that were ready on day one. Yeah, so obviously, EMC with Clarion was ready. Yeah, I think three par was ready. Yeah, three par was ready in AMS with the Tati MS. I think HP just made an announcement. I don't think they are there yet. I can't confirm, but I think equal logic had a product ready equal Dell equal logic and net apps a little further. That was an announcement. So, okay, and then you're seeing all very high marks there just because day one that's important. I mean, you know, it's it's available to the vSphere administrator. You know, if and if I remember correctly, I can't remember the revisions correctly. But it was available to the existing product on the floor. So it was an update available. Rather than rip out the controller, that's a whole nother burden, you know, because some situations is a new product that has it. Let's talk about scale up scale, deep and scale out. This is new messaging that I had not heard before. You guys maybe heard it in Japan. What does all that mean today? So so I think there have been several blog posts in the past by Michael Hay, even by Hugh about 3D Cartesian scaling. And as you start reading into that, you know, this message that they have for VSP sort of falls in line, being able to manage your storage and being able to scale it in the right manner is is the key. So the command suite seven has a message around management, while the VSP has a man has a message around the the scale out the scale deep and the scale. The third I'm forgetting about and up right. But the idea is to have your storage that could scale out as the VSP allows a customer to have 255 petabytes of storage behind a particular particular VSP system being able to leverage your infrastructure in the right way scale up and then being able to scale deep again is using different manufacturers behind them and and help virtualize and optimize your environment.  So let's let's grade them.   Where would you put scale deep? Scale deep, I would put at nine or 10, actually, because of the maturity of the technology. They have been talking about the scale deep wasn't there, but the technology was there with the with the USPV. So the the VSP sort of enhances that whole experience for the customer, the whole storage virtualization experience, have any commodity storage behind a VSP, and we'll help you scale deep really into whatever you have. Okay, well, how about the how about the scale up? It's sort of been Hitachi's ethos, right? The scale up was also high marks there. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I would say probably eight, nine on that messaging. And then how about the scale out? Absolutely, you know, you put them up high as well, even without some of the clustering technologies, I think the clustering and other things are probably in the works, I would say, again, when you look at the Vplex or, you know, the other EMC technologies out there, they're sort of more enhanced from that perspective. But I think Hitachi sort of like catching up to that whole, you know, having more of a cluster environment. So scale out scale up scale deep, you see them as all pretty mature and ready to be purchased, right? I mean, it's real, it's real, it's not it's right, right. So it's not just marketing bus creator around it, it feels like there is substance to each of these things that they have mentioned as part of the marketing message. Rick, anything that's missing from from this announcement or, you know, this day? Oh, well, my, my only nitpick is that, you know, this day is focused on on the larger solutions with VSP and the new control suite seven. But I'm always a big fan for the the mid and smaller environments. Okay, so we did have a incremental update on the modular storage, I think in June, you know, from the HDS product line. But, you know, I'm always looking for the little guy. Okay, and so this stuff isn't doesn't really apply for the little guy. But I'd always want to see a little bit more from in terms of features from the from the small end storage. And they've generally done a pretty good job with that, especially with the new control suite seven. But and the software offerings with the modular storage is is pretty much on par with what you know, pretty good for the small storage requirement. So I can't really think of anything that's really missing other than just don't forget about the little guy.  It is because historically my sense is that Hitachi has been they've certainly done very well with the AMS. But for instance, I don't know if you guys are familiar with the USP VM, the USP VM diskless. You know, there was a product that I think had a lot of potential in the marketplace. And it was very to me, SVC IBM SVC like, I almost think that that Hitachi gave that market a little bit to IBM because it was afraid that it would eat away at its high end margin. So I think this is a real challenge for Hitachi. And I think they're up for the challenge, the whole content cloud coming together, it sort of changes the perspective where they're just not in this big high end OLTP niche. Do you guys agree with that? What do you think about that? Talk about that a little bit. No, I think it makes sense from that perspective. When we the the VSP again, based on its existing technology will you can buy it without drives or diskless version, as well as you can buy it with 2048 drives, it helps you scale from that perspective. So you can have a baby bear basic version or scale out from that perspective. Also, the messaging around cloud and some of the secure multi tendency, I don't think they use the word secure multi tendency, but it's more safe multi tendency. You think they're purposely avoiding that? It's very hard to find that word secure anywhere. But because of there are virtual partitions that are in the system, it does enable the system to be much more like cloud ready. Right. Okay, we're here with Rick van over and and DeVang Panchagar. Hey, guys, how do people find you DeVang your blog? So I blog at storage nerve.com. And my Twitter handle is at storage nerve, right? And, and Rick, how do we find you? My blog is rickatron.us R I C K A T R O N dot US. And you can find me on Twitter at Rick van over. Believe it or not, they can't hear they can hear it a little bit. But these mics, that's why we asked you to get so close, you know, our engineering team, Michael, Sean Wright and Mark Hopkins have engineered the cube to be to be, you know, ambulance proof, right? We're at, we're at VM world. You remember, the ambulance is going by we were broadcasting the whole time. And our guests came through loud and clear. So great job, guys. No, no, actually, it sounded great. So, Rick and and DeVang, thanks very much for coming on the cube and sharing your insights about the trip you guys took the Hitachi sounds fantastic. You know, I was on vacation, I would joined you but but but I'm envious and jealous and really appreciate your insights. Thanks a lot.


So, we moved approximately 3,100 pieces of equipment over here to Europe that consists of tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles as you see behind us here. I would say we started in late March and here at the end of this month, July, we set out all our equipment on ground to the various locations throughout Europe. I would say the biggest challenge can be identifying the overall plan in the park where everything needs to go. With there being 3,100 pieces of equipment that's a lot of equipment and trying to nail down every location pieces need to go to. It can be difficult but as I stated we have a great team and we make it happen. The basics of understanding your cargo, what it takes to move and where it needs to go. The rest of it is a process you follow and there's plenty of people on the team that help us along the way. I would say proper planning, coordination and communication between the lower levels and the higher levels and those different transportation entities I spoke up. And understanding the plan and the cargo we have to move to redeploy and deploy them to various locations within the United States and around the world.


You know, what do you plan to do now? What's what's the what's the game? What's the end game now? What's that? What's the end thing that you're gonna take care of Mac like to oh? Man, what are we doing? All right? The end game is to have peace of mind. That is the end game I think that everything we do and we pursue in life is to try to get us a piece of mind Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one But did you end up have to cut off a lot of family when you got out because you know Sometimes you'd be gone so long and you think that a lot of people be down for you and hold you down While you're gone, but you realize who's really your friends who is really your family who is you know what I mean Did you have that problem so that when you came home your circle that you had became a lot smaller? No, um, I Started by saying I'm an optimist, right. I don't see things that way. I Don't think anyone owe me anything. Well, that's your time. You see I'm saying. Yeah I was always that type of child from up from a child who just I take my response. I take me I'm my responsibility Nobody else. I agree with that and because so I don't expect much from people and I'm never disappointed because I don't have those expectations for we get out for a BG Did you ever get to do time with BG while you was gone? No, he was in the fair. Oh, yeah I said, I'd seen him before he went to the fair. He been gone by 12 by 15 years. Yeah, man It's like a lot of lot of rappers man. Can't you you know, it's it's almost like it's a target Not just through the judicial system Oh, it was within themselves within the hip-hop police. It's all kind of stuff It was I mean and make no mistake about it and let me say this and then just for the records before we go I Want I don't ever want to come across as down playing this experience or down playing the injustices that are that exists within our Judicial system within our criminal justice system and And within law enforcement, I don't ever want to come across as down playing the The the the enormity of how it negatively affects Certain groups of people culture, right? So certain cultures, right? So that stuff is real But just on an individual level on a personal level I feel that every person is in control of their destiny and the way you see the world where you perceive it is what Is what it is because we all define our own reality two people can look at the same thing and Guess what? Depending on how they view it.  My partner was was was hurt already here I'm gonna find a reason why my partner was in in the right. My all my partner can punch down a 80-year-old dude and If you like your partner and you're on that end of it You're gonna the average person to be like well, man, he shouldn't have did this or he did that and that's what made You know, because people just see things with their heart not their eyes But when you came home, you weren't able to file any lawsuits or anything like that. No because I wasn't exonerated Yeah, but just you know, what are you planning to do now? What's what's the what's the game? What's the end game now? What's that? What's the end thing that you're gonna take care of Mac like? Oh, man, what are we doing? All right? The end game is to have peace of mind. That is the end game I think that everything we do and we pursue in life is to try to get us a piece of mind. That's it. So for me, I love Mentoring, okay, so what I do now is I have a Work with kids with a certain organization with two organizations actually and One of them is an after-school program Well, you know, we do a lot of workshops for kids teaching them just trying to give them the opportunities that didn't exist when we were kids Another organization and that one is called yep the youth empowerment project another organization I work with is called son of a saint is for fatherless boys. Okay, and I I'm passionate about that one because through mentoring in prison one of the things that I realized was about 80% of the young men that came to my class That were under the age of 23 Was fatherless was fatherless Mm-hmm, and these were all prisoners These were all young men between 18 and 23 years old and 80% of them were fatherless In fact, I used to ask every class might be 30 people. I'll be like, yo, how many of y'all got a father and you're like Three of them might raise their hand. Mm-hmm. So I realized early on that, you know I Realized in the neighborhood as a kid that there was something different about me and my friends who did have their father and The guys who didn't


Hello and welcome to the session. I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question which says an engineering student was asked to make a model shape like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model that resonates, assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same. Now we know that volume of cylinder is equal to pi r square h and volume of cone is equal to 1 by 3 pi r square h where is the radius h is the height. So this is a key idea behind our question. We will take the help of this key idea to solve the above question. So let's start the solution. The model is made of a cylinder and two cones. We have to find the volume of the air inside the model. Volume of the air inside the model is equal to volume of air inside the cone plus volume of air inside the cylinder plus volume of this cone are given of model is equal to 3 cm. Therefore radius of model is equal to 3 by 2 cm that is this is 3 by 2 cm that is r is equal to 3 by 2 cm. It is also given that the length of the model is 12 cm that is the total height of the model is equal to 12 cm. Now according to our question each cone has a height of 2 cm now this is a height of cone so this is 2 cm and this is also 2 cm. Let h1 is the height of the cone therefore h1 is equal to 2 cm. Let 2 is the height of this cylinder then h2 is equal to total height that is 12 cm minus height of two cones and this is equal to 8 cm. So height of the cylinder is equal to 8 cm. Now volume of air the model volume of air according to our key idea volume of cone is equal to 1 by 3 pi r square h so this is equal to 1 by 3 pi r square h1 as h1 is the height of the cone plus pi r square h2 as h2 is the height of this cylinder plus 1 by 3 pi r square h1. Let us take 1 by 3 pi r square common so we have volume of air inside the model is equal to 1 by 3 pi r square into h1 plus 3 h2 plus h1 and this is equal to 1 by 3 take pi is equal to 22 by 7 now radius of the model is 3 by 2 cm h1 is the height of the cone which is 2 cm plus 3 into h2 is the height of the cylinder which is 8 cm h1 is the height of the cone so this is plus 2 cm q is equal to 1 by 3 into 22 upon 7 into 3 by 2 into 3 by 2 into 24 plus 2 cm q and this is equal to 1 by 3 into 22 upon 7 into 3 by 2 into 3 by 2 into 28 cm q on cancellation we have this is equal to 22 into 3 cm q and this is equal to 66 cm q therefore volume of the air contained in the model that Rachel made is equal to 66 cm q hence the answer for the above question is 66 cm q i hope the solution is clear to you buy and take care


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Happy Saturday coming at you with, these are our last two boxes of prison Premier League actually. We've been sharing these boxes, the case that we popped open, we've been sharing them with the personals channel. So yeah, these are the last of the two box breaks. But thanks everyone for rocking through these. Hopefully we'll get another case. So keep an eye on jaspyscasebreaks.com, all card ship, there's all the teams right there. Thanks everyone here, and all the clubs are there. Let's roll it, let's randomize each list, three and a five, eight times. How's everyone's bracket doing? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. Michael's Oregon Ducks got cruised today. Jason down to Nick after eight. Eight times for the clubs. We got Tottenham down to Crystal Palace Leads. All right, Jason with Tottenham. Ryan with Chelsea, Brian with Brighton and Hove Albion. Jason with Western United, Jonathan Griffin, you got my team, Liverpool, Hyunmin with Man City, Justin with Everton, Matthew with Arsenal, Robert with Southampton, Jose with Asin Villa, Michael you got Man United, Chris with Newcastle United, Robert with Leicester, Jonathan with the Sheffield United, West Brom Combo, Michael with Burnley, Jason with Fulham, Bill with the Wolverhampton, Wanderers the Wolves, and Nick with the Crystal Palace Leads Combo. Let's sort alphabetically by column A. There you go, Michael, you know Manchester United. Any trades? If you want more soccer, we do have more soccer on the site, folks. We've got Immaculate Soccer, One Box, Random Number Block Breaks, and we've also have Gold Standard Soccer on the website. That's also a random number block break. In fact, I think Nick K just sold out Immaculate. So that's coming up a little bit later after we do a couple more breaks. All right, so as for Prison Premier League, soccer looks like no trade, so let's roll. TWC trade window closed, and so consumed with the March Madness College basketball tournament. I have no idea what's happening in soccer. What happened? Erlin Holland storms off following late goal in draw. He's not happy. Man City beat Everton in an FA Cup semi. You know, to reach the FA Cup semi, yeah, it looks like they're gonna win, they're gonna win the title for sure. They'll probably win the FA Cup, that's a double. Could they win a triple? I think the Champions League is an elusive trophy for them. They wanna win that for sure. Probably more than they wanna win the league. An anti Euro 2020 tournament drone interrupts a La Liga game for some reason. They don't want the tournament to happen. All right, I guess it's political. Man United to lose 17 million pounds a year with Team Viewer shirt sponsored deal. They're gonna lose, wait, Man United have secured a five year shirt sponsored deal with a global technology company, Team Viewer, was worth telling ESPN that the contract's worth 47 million pounds a year. Oh, a drop, an annual drop of 17 million on their expiring sponsorship with Chevrolet. I got you. Not as big. Man, those shirt sponsorships, jersey sponsors are pretty huge. Why did Erlin Holland storm off? Oh, he was just unhappy that they lost, that they needed the late goal to even get a point. All right, all right. Good, I like that. There's Matthew Louten for Burnley. There's Jordan Aiu for Palace to 99. Did I not print out this list? I don't think I printed this out. So eager to get into the break. Holland stormed off, but for good reason. He wanted to win. I guess you shouldn't really be losing to FC Cologne, right? I think Southampton also goes, Southampton going to the semifinals of the FA Cup. They beat Bournemouth. So here is the final printout, hot off the presses. And I think the Champions League quarterfinals, that draw happened. I think it's Real Madrid versus Liverpool. That should be pretty fun. And Bayern Munich versus PSG. Porto versus Chelsea as well. Man City versus Brucia Dortmund. So Champions League quarterfinal action happening. Those should be a fun set of games as well. And the autograph behind Nathan Redman is Kyle Lafferty, flashback autographs for Burnley. That's for Michael P. Phil Foden, Ashley Westwood-Silver for Burnley. Man City, Phil Foden. That's Hyun Min with that one. Phil Foden playing some excellent football. Bruno Fernandez for Man United. It's pretty strong. And there's Fabian Schar for Newcastle. That'll be for Chris. There's Jack Stevens to 195. Harry Winx, Robert Wonkel of Southampton. They're advancing to the FA Cup, English FA Cup semi-finals. There's Jeffrey Schult for Crystal Palace. There's Isaac Hayden, 95 out of 99. That is also for Newcastle. That's for Chris. And Nick Nguyen. The Crystal Palace leads combo. There's Takumi Minamino for Liverpool. Jonathan. There's Abame Yang for Matthew Shearer. And Arsenal. And there's the Tottenham keeper to 195. Hugo Loris, 007 out of 195. For Jason Parsons. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Yeah, Michael P. is like maybe not knowing anything. These clubs is the best way for you to hit. There's Serge Aurier. Serge Aurier for Tottenham. Jason Parsons. Also get this Deli Ali, too. It's pretty dynamic. Oh, nice. And Abukai Osaka. Matthew Shearer with Arsenal. That's one of the more valuable, maybe most valuable player out of this set this year. This particular product. There's Matias Pereira. 33 out of 195 for West Brown. That'll be for Jonathan. A lot of these cards are pretty crazy. I mean, if that Saka was a lower numbered parallel, that could easily be hundreds, not thousands at some point. Out of the hobby edition, we pulled a few... We did a lot of those breaks. We pulled a few of those gold. I think the out of fives are gold power is what they call them. Instead of the more familiar gold vinyl. But either way, we pulled those out of fives. And like each one... I think the one that we pulled... Forget who it was. We looked it up. I think it was well over $1,000. It's crazy. I think what's kind of annoying about the Champions League is that I think at least these quarterfinal matches are going to be on... I don't think they're going to be on a streaming platform. I think it's the CBS streaming platform, which is now Paramount Plus or something like that. Do I have to get another streaming channel? Watch a Shandy thing? I suppose I could, you know, go with an alternative website to watch the game in a different way. But then the quality can be spotty with those. Someone should just package up all these different streaming channels and put it on one streaming channel. Oh wait, that's cable TV. That's what we do now. I'll bet that's how it's going to go at some point, which is kind of ironic. All right. There's Nathan Tella for Southampton. And we've got Roman Seiss. That's right. B. Clay, Mason Greenwood and another one of the top players to look for in this set. Bill has the Wolves, by the way. There's Dean Henderson, Silver for Man United. That'll be for Michael. The backup to David De Gea. There's Frederico Fernandez for Newcastle. For Chris. And a nice blue Phil Foden. 51 out of 195.  And there you go, Manchester City. That'll be for Hyun Min. Fabio Silva. And we've got Pablo Fernandez. 117 out of 195 for Westham United. Jason with the Hammers. Another one for Bill and Wolves. Sadio Mane for Liverpool. And Chris Basham for Sheffield. That's Jonathan with the Blades. We've got Allen San Maxime. 54 out of 99 for Newcastle. This is the Mason Greenwood we were talking about. Manchester United, Michael. Michael P with that one. Let's take a quick look on 130point.com. Let's see what a base goes for. Mason Greenwood. A red-cracked ice sole for $90 recently. Yeah, about 26 bucks. $25, $30. Boom, just like that. Parallel, be hundreds of dollars. Isn't that crazy? Not too shabby. Curtis Jones. Ollie Watkins for Aston Villa. Donnie van der Beek to 195. Blue. Yeah, that Mason Greenwood grades out nicely. You get even more return on investment. Mason Greenwood turns out to be the superst of superstars for Manchester United. I mean, that's going to be good. Here's Curtis Jones for Liverpool. That's for Jonathan Griffin. The last little bit here is, and the last card is going to be Olivier Giroud. That is it for a Prism Premier League Breakaway Edition. For now, there may be more, so keep an eye on Jaspie's casebreaks.com. We always try to have a little bit of stock or stocked on the site as much as we can. So keep checking it out. Thank you very much, everyone. I'm Joe, and I'll break more footy with you next time. Bye-bye.
