Live from Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE. Covering Red Hat Summit 2019, brought to you by Red Hat. Welcome back live here in Boston, along with Stu Miniman. I'm John Walls. You are watching theCUBE, we're at the Red Hat Summit for the sixth time in our CUBE history. Glad to be here. A beautiful, gorgeous day, Stu, by the way, in your hometown. Yeah, I love it. Beautiful that it was a little cold when we were here two years ago, but a lovely spring day. Yeah, great to be here. Glad you're with us here on theCUBE. Glad to have John Healy with us as well. He is the VP of the Internet of Things group at Intel, as long as a GM of platform management and customer engineering. John, good morning to you. Good morning to you too. Glad to be here. You're kind of the newbie on the block there in the IoT group, your data center for a long time, moving over to IoT. So just if you could tell me a little bit about that transition, what you're seeing, and kind of what's exciting you about this opportunity for you. So it's really interesting. I mean, I spent nearly 15 years with the data center group in Intel and did a ton of work with partners like Red Hat over the years. A lot of our focus was in how we bring a lot of data center technologies and grow them somewhat beyond the basic data center. I spent a lot of time on the network side working with comm service providers on NFV and the build out of their, the softwareization or cloudification, if you like, of the infrastructure. And now moving over to IoT, it's almost like I'm going to the other end of the wire. You know, all of the applications and the services we were focused on were very much IoT centric. You know, enabling new markets, enabling customers to do things when they connected their different devices in ways they couldn't have done before. So a lot of the focus now is on how we continue to bring those cloud technologies, a lot of things that have matured in the data center, further and further down in a lot of cases to the edge. A lot of people talk about the cloudification of the edge and enable new IoT services and new IoT applications to be fulfilled and to be delivered. Yeah, John, you bring great context to this discussion. As I said, the last 10 years, there was that pull of the cloud and Intel is at every single show that we go to. And a lot of people haven't fully understanding grass. They hear edge computing, they hear IoT and they're, it's big, you know, orders of magnitudes, more devices, the, you know, the surface area that we're going to do there. But a lot of times they're like, oh, well, we're bringing it out of the cloud and back there and we're back in the data center. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This is not the data centers that you built before, but there is connection between the data centers and the cloud and the cloud and the edge and the edge and there. So you've got good content. Help frame it a little bit as to where we are in their discussion. So some of the users, where they are in the whole IoT discussion. Yeah, and I think if we even take a step back from looking at one, one demographic versus another, think of IoT versus cloud, it really is the continued proliferation of distributed computing. Think of that as sort of the horizontal underpinning or foundation of all of it. Absolutely. It's how do I enable more and more advanced intelligence and insight to be gained from the data that's being created and derived in how I run my infrastructure and relaying new services and new capabilities on top of it. And then you start applying that to all of the different markets and there's almost no market that you could conceive that can't take advantage of that. So as we built out data center capability and all of the underpinnings and how you best build out those platforms and take advantage of all of the innovation, work with partners like Red Hat has been a critical component of that. So we've worked with them for almost, actually since the beginning, we were one of the early investors and work with a partner like Red Hat to make sure that those infrastructure componentries are optimized to work well together, build the reference architectures that can be deployable in a data center environment, whether it's in an enterprise or in a cloud vendor's environment and increasingly enable them to build open and hybrid implementations. Now the reason I start there is because really we're proliferating from that base. So if you consider and we do that the future is open hybrid implementations, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud where the workload can be enabled and supported by the best implementation and best environment from it. Could be the best cloud environment, the best underpinning platforms and the best solution stacks to enable that to occur. We're now moving that into the realm of more and more of the IoT applications, whether it's in industrial environments, it's in healthcare environments, in retail and automotive, all of across the different landscape. This, the premise is essentially the same, that we ensure that the right environment is created for the application to be supported and we're bringing more and more of the environmental capabilities of cloud-like deployment, cloud-like management, increasingly out into those applications. So if we look at each of the different markets, there are differing points of their maturity or of their development. I like to use the example of the comm service providers, the telecom service providers as a sort of a basis of what happened when an entire market looked at the benefits of data center technology or server technologies and wanted the economies of scale and the openness of those environments to be appropriate and deployed in their environment, in their networks. And we've seen that over the last 10 years in the journey from soft fortifying networking all the way through to NFV and now what's happening with cloudification of the network. Industrial environments are very, very similar. Decades of building, you know, vertically integrated solutions, but now looking for the economies of scale that cloud-like technology and open interfaces and open abstractions can provide. And we're starting to see them embark on that journey in a very similar manner. So I see parallels as we move from one market to the other, but the basic underpinning is very similar, how we take advantage of those capabilities. Yeah, fascinating stuff. As you said, it's distributed architectures is where we're building. I look at Intel and it's fascinating to me because on the one hand, everything's becoming more and more distributed. Yet at the same time, you're baking things down into the chip as much as you can. You're working with partners as Red Hat to make sure that, you know, it gets baked into the kernel. So you've got that give and take that it is both being a distributed as possible, yet every component gets things like security built into them. It has to work with all of the environments. So it's not the discreet components that we might have had before you talk about, like, you know, IT versus OT, well, they're becoming very similar. Your telecommunications is not the telecom of the dot-com boom. They're doing things like NFV and the like. So, you know, we're starting to see IT kind of take over a lot of those environments. Are we not? Yeah. I think IT constructs and the abilities and capabilities of IT. And it's submerged, it really is. And we saw this, you know, we've seen it over the last number of years. It really is a marriage of both environments coming together. The mechanisms, but through which IT will deploy and manage the infrastructure, married to the expectations from a SLA and quality of service and such that's required on the network, just as one example. And then as we work with a partner like Red Hat, you know, what's critically important is that we have multi-party approaches to the market, which I think, Stu, to your point, is kind of another dynamic we're seeing, is that the implementation of the final solution at a platform level requires collaboration across multiple different entities, multiple different partners. So, if we're working with Cisco or with Dell or with Lenovo and Red Hat, we're bringing together reference architectures that take advantage of the innovations in the platform, the work we're doing, the innovations into the silicon, and the enabling and preservation of those innovations through the software stack. So, whether it's REL or it's REV or it's OSP and make sure that those are exposed and can be preserved in the implementation. So then the application that sits on top of the stack can take advantage all the way down and be provisioned such that it maintains the policies and the levels of performance and such that have been defined for it. I'd like to go back to the telecom illustration that you were talking about just a moment ago. And we talked about the internet of things and this explosion of devices and capabilities and the new spectrum that's being rolled out, right? 5G on the horizon, very much in a nascent stage right now. What is that going to do in terms of your attention or your focus because of the capabilities that are going to be provided that I can't even imagine the kinds of speeds we're talking about, the capabilities we're talking about. Well, how does that change your world? I think what is fundamental about 5G is how it starts to address some of the underpinning challenges in deploying multiple billions of connected endpoints or devices. So IOT subscribes really to two things, connectivity and then the access to or unleashing of all of the data. It's really those two dynamics. Once you connect these devices together or provide for connectivity to and from them, you now have the ability to derive more insight from the data that they're capturing and to make more intelligent and informed decisions about how you provision and then all sorts of new applications and service types become possible as a result of that. But there in both of those, there's a challenge. How do you connect all of those devices together in a manner that's efficient to deploy and easy to manage and also provides for the connectivity that is very bursty in nature? There are times when you'll need pretty reasonably sizable bandwidth if it's a video type application and times when you really won't need very much at all. And how do you do that in an environment that's affordable and cost-effective to deploy? If you're a manufacturing plant manager, running cable to every single one of your nodes or connectors or sensors across your production plant is a pretty onerous task and it's an expensive capital deployment. But 5G provides you the ability to provide that connectivity within your enterprise or within your factory environment in an efficient manner. It's wireless-based. It also provides for the very low latency that allows for real-time applications and it provides for mass deployment and management of very large numbers of endpoints. So if we think of the density of 5G, the low latency capability of it and then the manageability in a framework that is in an environment that is predictable, that is policy and SLA-governed, you start to address some of the really fundamental challenges that connecting vast numbers of devices can present. So I see 5G as a path to significantly accelerating what we have always envisioned as being the Internet of Things. And as a result of it, new services and new service categories will be enabled on top of it, that we're here to forward, maybe possible but not possible in an efficient and affordable manner. Can you give me a practical example of that? Well, if you think even a smart city, as an example, where the light posts and the traffic signals and kiosks are all playing a role in a connected mesh of interconnected entities, you could have a situation for the US audience, something like an Amber Alert, which we'd see where we want to search for a very specific license plate in the city. Well, today it's a pretty manual process. The Amber Alert is issued, it may be a text on your phone, so we get those alerts. There's oftentimes a display over, to the smart display over the freeway. But then it's up to the drivers to look out. We'll just consider the possibilities when the cars, using their own vision, which the autonomous driving evolution or a revolution is allowing us to, it's progressing. All of the cameras on all of the cars now become actively watching for license plates. And they can pick up whether, and then a car can enroll itself into or out of that service. So if your car is sitting in a garage and this request comes, it'll report back, I'm sitting in the garage, I'm not part of the mix. But if it's on the freeway, it can enroll itself and start to actively search for that license plate. That's an example. And then all of the connected nodes across the city become points for exchange of data to and from the different cars that they're passing by. And all of that infrastructure is enabled by 5G. So that's an application that we don't have it today, but it becomes a very possible application in the future. All right, so John, we're here at Red Hat Summit. And as you said, Intel and Red Hat have a long partnership. RHEL 8 was announced today. Give us the latest on the deep integrations and what users should be expecting. Yeah, and what we're really excited about with Red Hat over the years, we've really shared a common vision about what we believe the industry should be, should be capable of achieving. And this concept of open hybrid environments, open hybrid clouds, we've been working with them for a long time on how we best enable that. So in Upstream, we work well together. We collaborate on what technologies we want to see exposed and supported within the different communities. And then on the downstream into the products was an example of what you're describing, Stu, with RHEL 8. What's really exciting is we did it, just as an example, we did a very large data-centric launch in early April. We were extremely excited to bring a whole portfolio of new products to market together, which we've spanned from new CPUs all the way through to some of our storage products and memory products. And the capabilities of each of those is what really needs to be, to continue to be integrated and supported within the product portfolio that Red Hat have. So with RHEL 8, we're seeing things like our DL Boost for deep learning, taking advantage of specific accelerations within the CPU in our scalable Xeon processor so that it can take advantage of those and really enhance the performance and behaviors of the deep learning algorithms, just as one example. And that's time to market with us on RHEL 8. We're delighted that that integration has happened. Same thing with some of our memory technologies and the support for those within RHEL. So a customer deploying an application knows that the innovations within the hardware, within the silicon are available and manageable from the software environment that they're deploying. And that's the benefit of this tight collaboration as we plan together for future innovations and how they can best be integrated and do the work upstream in advance of that so that the community issues, whether it's OpenShift or OpenStack is enabled and capable of supporting them at the same time.  Where do you want to, I mean, you're still relatively fresh right to that space. Where do you think you want it to go with Intel? Like, what's your vision or what are your thoughts about the kinds of areas that you'd like to explore here over the next 18, 24 months? I think we have, firstly, it's an incredibly exciting market. Some of the examples we just spoke about are the possibilities that they open up for our customers, but also for our partners to really evoke new forms of business, new revenues, new capabilities as a result of bringing the marriage of cloud technology together with the economics of volume, technology consumption and deployment and all of those assets across into a new set of applications that IoT opens up. I see tremendous opportunity to make that marriage happen. But also because I spend so much time on the infrastructure side and very much with comm service providers, I can feel the pent up desire to find ways to deploy new types of managed services and new monetization models if they can get insight to the data, how we do optimal deployment of networks, manage infrastructure on behalf of end customers and all that becomes possible if we bring the application end in IoT closer to the infrastructure. So a lot of my focus will be on really bridging across those different worlds and ensuring that we work with partners like Red Hat continue to be developed very successfully and we open up new opportunities for each other. It's exciting time, there's no doubt about that. You're at this great convergence, right? You're at the fun and games part of this with devices and that exponential growth. John, thanks for the time. Sure, thank you. We're pretty sure, glad to have you here once on theCUBE, once again. John Healy joining us from Intel, back with more live from Boston, you're watching theCUBE.

You like that wonderful toasted oat flavor too, downright delicious. Come to think of it, Cheerios is one of the tastiest muscle-building foods you can eat. Try Cheerios and you'll hear... He's feeling his Cheerios! With his faithful Indian companion, Toto, the daring and resourceful masquerider of the plains, let the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again! Come on Silver! Let's go big fella! Are you still there? You are free forks, a short stocky man, stood on tiptoe to tack a handbill on the bulletin board outside his office. Oh, carnation, take it there, go attack. Let me attack that up for you, sir. I got a longer reach than you have. Well, thanks, strangers, mighty kind of you here. Yeah, right. Now give me the hammer and tack. Gladly. Have it up in a jiff. There you are. Handbill on an ombre called Lanky Ratford. That's right, they say he's a mighty mean ombre. Leads an outlaw gang, let's see. Lanky Ratford, six feet two slim billed, weighed about 165, curly brown hair, blue eyes, jagged scar on left wrist, wanted for armed robbery, reward. That ombre must be almost as tall and skinny as I am, Sheriff. Tall or an Lanky Rat, say, mister. Thanks for tacking that up for me. That's all right. Here's the hammer and tack. Thank you. Don't mention it. My friends are waiting at the hitch rack. See you again, Sheriff. So long. Not at all, mister. Well, friendly, so to say. Wonder who he is. If he had a little more meat on him, he'd be right nice looking with that curly brown hair. Tall, Lanky curly brown hair. And he has a scar on the left wrist. That's him, Lanky Ratford. Hey, hey, come back here! And his two companions expertly covered their tracks and rode to their hideout a few miles back in the hills where five more members of Lanky's gang were waiting. The men were amused when told what Lanky had done. Oh, that must have been a sight. But Lanky shouldn't take changes. You gotta know people, that's all. They don't expect me to do the things I do, so I get away with them. But everybody will be on the lookout for you in three forks now, Lanky. So they'll all expect me to stay away. But I'll fool them. I'll go right back there tonight. If you're local, they'll spot you right away. I doubt it. We'll go in the back room. When I come out, you'll see how I'm gonna fool them in town. Ten minutes later, Lanky came out of the back room. He wore a reversed collar and long black frock coat. His usually curly hair was slicked down with oil and topped with a black hat. We're jumping catfish. Look at Lanky. Looks like a preacher. What are you planning to do this time, Lanky? Well, it's just about noon. I'll ride over to Slick Falls ten miles south of here. I'll send a telegram to the bank of Mr. Hodge in three forks. Saying I'll arrive on the six o'clock stage and to prepare the meeting house for services tonight at eight. Why? I learned in town that the banker has asked for a preacher to be sent from Austin. He's got the meeting house built and ready for the new preacher. But what's the idea? Why do you... Now, before I start for Slick Falls, I'll tell you all just what to do so our time will be right. First of all, forky, you'll be waiting at the meeting house for me. Right. Figure you'll take the others to the back of the bank after the meeting starts. That afternoon, banker Hodge in three forks received a telegram. Later, Lanky arrived on the stage and was met by Mr. Hodge. The meeting got underway promptly. The meeting house was filled to capacity and all the men had left their guns at the door. A hush fell over the congregation as Lanky stepped to the platform. Friends, it's most gratifying to see the meeting house filled. Now, I always have the collection taken up before the services begin. So the congregation isn't disturbed later when the thoughts are on higher things. I'll ask my good friend Mr. Hodge and the gentlemen standing with him at the door to take up the collection. Forky and the banker passed hats among the congregation. Then after handing the offering to Lanky on the platform, they returned to the door where the men had removed their guns. Then Lanky again spoke from the platform. Now good people, I want everyone to kneel for one minute in silent prayer before I start the session. Here come the sheriff and his deputy. Oh, don't be concerned. I'm sure they'll cooperate and leave their guns with his. Even Mr. Hodge, the meeting started. Yes, sir. I'm proud to say we have a very unusual parson. He requested that all guns be left here at the door, sir. Well, all right. Here's my gun, my old friend. Here's mine. What's the parson doing? He's picking up something. Yes, the congregation is in silent prayer. Bars and Lanky is picking up the hats, containing the collection money. The sheriff stepped inside the doorway and watched. As Lanky emptied the collection into a canvas sack, then Lanky stood up and his eyes met those of the sheriff. That parson looks familiar. Lanky turned quickly and walked into the crude vestry room off the platform, and porky, unnoticed, left the meeting house hurriedly. A moment later, a man ran up the steps and called to the sheriff. Here, come quick. The gang broke into the bank. The bank has been robbed. Give me my gun belt. Hurry. Where is the gentleman who hid it? Where is he? He hid your gun down there. Oh, don't go on that preacher. Now it comes to me. Parson Lanky. He's Lanky Radford. Give me a gun, any gun. Hey, all you men in there. That man was the real parson. He's Lanky Radford. His gang just robbed the bank.  Stories of Lanky's prankish escapades spread throughout the southwest and reached the ears of the lone ranger and tanto, heading the trail not far from Three Forks. People in last town talk about outlaw leader who make believe him parson. Rob Bank was gang Three Forks two nights ago. That sounds very much like the type of thing Lanky Radford would do, Tonneau. Ah, and say him Lanky Radford. Him fool sheriff twice, same day. Lanky is clever and dangerous. While we're in this territory, we'll try to get a line on Lanky and his men. In their hideout in the hills, Lanky and his men were still chuckling over the way they tricked the sheriff and townspeople of Three Forks. I reckon Sheriff Drew was fit to be tired when he realized who I was. And he didn't even have his gun belt on. Yeah, there's another trick I'm gonna pull on Sheriff Drew that'll get us plenty more cash. And I figure after that, Sheriff Drew will have to turn in his badge. The people of Three Forks will remember Lanky Radford for a long time to come before I'm finished. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. It would take a whole shelf full of spices and special flavorings if your mom started out to make a honey spice on her own and lots of extra work too. But with Betty Crocker's wonderful honey spice cake mix, everything she needs is right there in the package. All blended and ready to go. All she has to do is add water and two fresh eggs. Mmm, and what a cake. Why a great big Betty Crocker honey spice cake disappears in nothing flat around our house. You just can't stop eating it. And I know once your family finds out how good Betty Crocker honey spice cake is, they'll make quick work of everyone your mom turns out. But she won't mind. They're quick work for her too. So easy to bake. And they always turn out perfect. Betty Crocker promises that. So have mom put Betty Crocker honey spice cake on her grocery list today, huh? You'll be glad she did. And so will your whole family. Now to continue. In spite of objections from his men, Blankey Radford at the cabin hideout planned one more trick in three forks before leaving the territory. Porky asked, Blankey, how do you figure on fooling the sheriff a third time and getting away with it? Like Trigger said, don't press your luck too close. I'll listen. The more the stage going east stops at three forks. We'll stop the stage before it reaches town. Ty and Gag, the driver and garden bringing with this cabin and leaving here. I'll smear my face with dirt and my clothes with dust and wear the driver's badge and hat. You Trigger will ride his guard. When I'm slumped down on the seat, nobody'll notice my height and build. We'll stop in town, pick up the shipment and the extra guards. Then the rest of the gang will hold us up after we leave three forks. Well, I'll be dog gone. You have nerve enough to make it work at that. I'll listen, Porky. Be sure to bring my horse and Trigger so we can make our getaway after the last holder. What'll we do with the two extra guards we pick up in town? They usually ride in the coach. They'll tie him, turn the stage around and start it back toward town. Then we'll leave the territory. The next morning, a few miles from town and not far from the gang's hideout, the first part of Lanky's plan was accomplished. The stage driver and the guard were tied to the horse's Lanky and Trigger had written and taken away by Porky and the rest of the gang. Lanky, his face smeared with dirt and wearing dust-covered clothes and the driver's weather-beaten sombrero climbed down to the seat of the stage with Trigger. Come on, get it! Ha! Get it! Meanwhile, the lone ranger and Toto spent the early part of the morning searching the hills. As the two men rode along a rich trail, Toto suddenly called a halt. What's going on? What is it, Toto? You think we hear someone call? We listen. Come on, don't trouble. Those guys seem to come from down in that hollow. All right, let's go. Come on, silver! Come on, Toto! A few moments later, the masked man and Indian sighted a cabin hidden in a grove of trees.  Yes, the cabin is well hidden down here. The masked man and Indian slowly eased the door open. Then they entered. The driver who had worked his gag loose said, Two more of the outlaw gang, eh? No, we're not outlaws. But the man is him, lone ranger. We come to help. Hello, ranger. I've heard about you. Oh, thank heaven you found this. We'll untie them, Toto. Quickly, they removed the gag from the guard and untied both men, who told them briefly what had happened and what the outlaws planned to do. We haven't much time. You men ride double with us as far as the edge of town.  In some way, we'll try to stop Lankini's men from leaving town until you bring help. Let's go quickly. All right. A few minutes after the stage left three forks carrying the gold shipment and with the sheriff and deputy riding as extra guards. The two men who were brought to town by the lone ranger and Toto raced breathlessly into the cafe. Hey! Hey, where's the sheriff? He's gone on the stage with the deputy as extra guards. Why? So, only smoke. Lanky Redford's driving that stage. Great day. Come on, everybody, let's go. Meantime, after leaving the driver and guard at the edge of town, the lone ranger and Toto saw the stage in the distance, heading away from town on the east trail. Oh! Oh! Oh! Kim Sabi, there goes stage. It already leaves town. They must stop it before it reaches the place where the rest of the gang is waiting. Ah. But two extra guards ride in coats, driver's say, get risky. Them plenty. We'll take the risk. We'll take a shortcut over the ridge. We'll stop the stage before it enters the valley. Come on! With Lanky and Trigger on the seat, the stage rumbles toward the rendezvous with the gang. Eater! Eater! Just before the stage reached the entrance to the valley, Trigger pointed and explained. Hey, Lanky, look. Coming down the slope of that ridge. Eh? Mass out hooting an engine.  Yeah, we gotta get rid of them quick. Hey, sheriff! Here, come a couple of outlaws. We'll have to fight them off. Aye, it's under wheels, so we show them. At breakneck speed, the last man and Indian rode at an angle down the slope to intercept the stage. Pulse it right on the tumor on the seat, fellow. Lanky was driving the horses at top speed, and the stage coach bounced and swayed over the rock trail, spoiling their aim as the four men fired at the oncoming riders.  When they get real close, we'll try to plug him. Holy smokes. Take him, fellow. Get up there! Come on! Here they come. Lanky wounded in the wrist, dropped his gun and the reins. A moment later, another bullet caught him in the shoulder. And the outlaw leader slumped down on the seat. The horses, without a driver, raced onward in a frenzy of fear. Inside the coach, the sheriff and the deputy realized what had happened. Sheriff, the guard fell off and the driver's wounded. The horses are running wild. Yeah, I know. Here come the outlaws. I'll get a chance to plug them, maybe. Hold on. Don't shoot yet. They're going to try to stop the runaway horses. Let them do it, or we'll be wrecked. Once they do, we'll get the drop on them. The lone ranger and total swung in on either side of the stagecoach horses. Then moved forward to the head of the team. Hold her! Hold her! The masked man and Indian each grabbed a bridle of the two lead horses and brought the stage to a stop. Hold her! Hold her! We got both of you covered. Prizo will fill you with lead. We're getting out of here. Sheriff, we're not outlaws. We know you are. I've been fooled enough. Five tons of wheels. Now, let's go a moment. That driver on the seat is the outlaw leader, Lanky Radford. Lanky Radford. See for yourself. He's clumped down on the seat and apparently unconscious. He and the gunman within plan to lead you and to hold up by his gang in the valley. Deputy, watch these two. I'll take a look at that driver. I got him covered. Jumping, catfish, the masked man's right. He is Lanky Radford. But I don't, Sammy. Quickly, the lone ranger explained. Them, the sheriff spoke. But you and that mask, why should you... Him, lone ranger. We search Hill for Radford gang.  That's right. Yeah. Yeah, I reckon you are at that. And he must be the Indian tonto I've heard about. Sheriff, if I suggest we put Lanky inside the coach with you and your deputy. I'll wear his hat and dusty coat and take his place with Tonneau on the seat. Tonneau will borrow your deputy's hat. Then what? We'll tie our horses behind the stage. Then we'll drive on. I've heard Lanky had eight in his gang, including himself. That means there are six men waiting in the valley. We four should be a match for them because we'll be taking them by surprise. Anything you say, Mr. I'll give my eye teeth to catch your Lanky's gang. Let's go. Later in the valley, Porky and the others saw the stage approaching and started out to intercept it. Get up there! Now remember, be careful you don't shoot Lanky or Trigger. When we get close, aim your shots into the coach. As the six men started toward the stage, which was still some distance away, the lone ranger quickly pulled it to a stop. Oh, oh there, oh! He's a hoe! Come on, fellow. They're further close enough to know what's going on. The two men hurriedly led Silver and Scout to the far side of the stage. Then muttered and waited until the outlaws were close. Porky and the others, surprised by the actions of the men who had been on the stage seat, pulled to a halt. Hey, Lanky, what's the idea? Open fire. Two of the outlaws fell wounded. The other four returned the fire, then turned as if to escape to the slope. But they were surprised and dismayed to see the posse, which had followed the stage, whiting in to cut them off. Hey, look, the posse! They're moving in behind them! Use your guns! Caught between the guns of the men at the coach and the posse, the remaining four men realized something had gone wrong, and that they had no chance. They soon surrendered. We give up, we're covered on guns! Howl, howl! By golly we got care, and here comes the man's man, the engine. Who's over there? Who's gone? Oh, mister, you sure turned the tables on him. Hey, what about the sheriff and his deputy? Here they come on foot. May I? I reckon you all know by now how Lanky Radford fooled me again. But thanks to the masked man and his Indian friend, we have Lanky and his gang. We found one of them wounded back on the trail. One of the men stayed with him. Lanky is wounded and unconscious in the coach. We'll give him and the others first aid, then take him back to town. If Ton and I can give further help... Oh, we have everything under control now. Thanks. In that case, we'll leave. Adios, sheriff. Adios, and many thanks, mister. Adios, everyone. Adios! Let's go! The driver and guard told us those two hombres are friends, but just who are they? And why does one of them wear a mask, Sheriff? Lanky Radford may have fooled me more than once, but he never fooled that masked man, never, and neither will any other crook with that manor. You see, that masked man is none other than the lone ranger. The feature of the lone ranger incorporated is produced by Trendl Campbell Muir Incorporated. The part of the lone ranger is played by Brace Beamer, your announcer, Fred Boy. Listen to the lone ranger brought to you by Special Re...


Wow You did but it bears repeating it helps the algorithm as you guys know which nothing in more in case you didn't know We live in the age of the algorithm nothing matters more help the algorithm help the algorithm wins always always Anyways today, we're doing a movie of you of the 2019 film Kythie And it's because And that was the comment on the YouTube thing like I saw the main header comment It was how many of you here to watch this because of Vikram coming out and you were told you should watch this before yeah We're we're in that group same same director as Vikram in which we are going to see today in just a few hours Actually, yep, and we the director came out I think on Twitter and then he was like I'm very excited about this film blah blah blah Please refresh your knowledge on Kythie. There you go my film before this and obviously everybody else obviously echoes those sentiments directed by Forgive the mispronunciation because it will be it's low cash I believe Kanagara and he also wrote it as well and then it's Starring Karthi as well and then a whole bunch of slew of the people yeah Karthi is the the the lead in this one. It's a Karthi and Kythie. Yeah Am I pronouncing it correctly? Yeah, you are you're good. So it's just a one letter differentiation. It's an action crime thriller That's true 2019 will be a hundred cents more if you haven't watched it go watch it come back It's on Amazon. We had to rent it on Amazon. It was nowhere It's I think it's on YouTube for free, but there was a bunch of ads yeah ton of ads and so every every seven minutes I don't want to watch a film with that. Yeah, especially a two-hour 20 runtime because that adds another like 25 30 minutes to it Absolutely, so it's be a hundred cents more if I want you to go watch it come back Rick your initial talk Talk about a mixed bag for me Ultimately more to like than complain about the stuff that I have a complaint about I'll share in a little bit but ultimately I I I enjoyed myself for the most part. There was far more to like about it than dislike Although the thing I dislike that I'll say in a moment really bother me however It's it it was there was some mixed bag literally some things in it that were Astonishingly good and then some other things that were astonishingly bad. Yeah, I actually really enjoyed this one But I do I have some stuff. It's it's mixed as well. Yeah, but I have a lot of notes I I actually thoroughly enjoyed it and I went in with almost no expectation because I right I we actually we've reacted to the trailer, but it was almost over two years ago And so I don't I don't even remember it.  Yeah, but this is actually what I was expecting from Pushpa That's I guess if this I agree if push push gave us this I would have been very happy agreed Because obviously I wasn't expecting in terms of like acting gold or like this Incredible plot or anything like that from push, but I was expecting good action and fun and a simple story. Yeah Yeah, which is what you get here. I get that here. Yep, but I totally agree. And also I heard it was a Ridiculously low, but it's like 18 core. How do you say it core course? Yeah 18 course really I'm gonna do the math because last time I did some notes so that I always had it here for me to Reference so one crore is 10 million rupees, which comes out to like a hundred and thirty thousand dollars So how many crore 18 I believe so 18 crore so barely barely two million dollars American Barely a two million dollar budget. I mean, I obviously I know money is different and true you get for your buck but They did a phenomenal job for that little for an action film like this I agree, which I think the and we'll get into it all right now But I think the highlights for me are the cinematography score and editing. Yep of this film. Yep I man They were it was incredible some of the stuff they did with camera work and come on and and in cinematography in the That the I gotta say it. It's in here. I have it in caps that shot Between the three vehicles starting from the back of the farthest vehicle going straight through and in an action in the cab Yeah action in the front and then out the window into the next car. Yeah with all the action and the stuff Is that a wire? Do you think drone? I I I don't know. Yeah, I was it some CGI There was there was some CGI involved because they went through hard things and and windshields Yeah, so it was a pretty seamless Use of visual effects and editing It was like okay now you're you already impressed me with your cinematography and your gorgeous lighting Yeah, especially at night the lighting in this thing. Oh my stars Incredible like the tech I mean from there's a few technical things that I can gripe on but I have a continuity. Yeah Yeah, yeah, but the in terms of like cinematography gorgeous lighting gorgeous production design production design gorgeous just Everything outside of you know, it's still being dubbed But I if it's only two million dollars and I gotta say I wrote this in my notes.  We're talking about like Sound yeah non-sink sound is what we're talking about in a different sometimes you have to do ADR and that's it's inevitable because you miss something We're talking about million dollars. This was some of the best dubbing I've ever heard Yeah, I I thought they did a really good great job on the dubbing So like I don't know if this guy the director like location Was he originally a editor because we sometimes see that like when like that's the yeah Like I mean there's there's a there's more than just the standouts in the technical sides But when those are the main standouts you're like this guy clearly Loves editing. Yeah loves like putting film together in that way. Yep. Like I think the director of That that Fafa won the boat. He was on the internet. Oh, yeah The one that was during the pandemic. Yes. Yes. Yes. You soon that guy's an editor, right, right? We see that a lot actually But yeah, the way they edited the fight scenes. Yeah, and which I loved the fight scene I did too. I thought they were so fun. They were a lot of fun. They were like And I saw something like I've kind of given up on like saying like, oh, how could he do that? I I've kind of bought in into the Indian to a certain extent to the certain extent to a certain extent because that's one of the gripes I'll have a moment, but in terms of These they're just larger-than-life superheroes. Yeah. RRR is what helped me understand.  Yeah, so I bought into that right and and I like I said I didn't have any expectations for this But as it went on and and I was impressed by all the technical sides and then the fighting was a lot of fun I would have actually preferred even more gruesome at times, but once again, it's 2 million bucks. Really? And I imagine for Vikram. He's gonna have a lot more I would say the last time I saw a film where I was so impressed with the Proverbial bang for your buck was rental Manari. Yeah, that's the last time I saw a film that I knew they had so little to use and did so much with it Yeah But and also so the score in this So fun one of the few times I've listened to a score and thought you know what go ahead and overscore it Go ahead. I'm loving what you're doing with the music so much They were only a few times a few times The emotional yeah, it got a little much, but it was every time the music came in. I was like it's great Yeah, yeah, great score. I'm very excited because it in Vikram. Mm-hmm. What's his face? The composer sorry that's okay in a rude. Yeah, Ravi Jandar.  I don't think anybody's gonna disagree with that, right? Yeah in terms of Kamahasan Vik Vijay and in Fafa By the way, it's selling out here. Yeah, oh geez every single show I we we had to wait for for multiple reasons to watch it today But it was we heard like the front row almost yeah Because it's sold out everywhere We we were looking at the the things expecting we were gonna be fine and he sends me a text that goes we may have screwed out But anyway, but yeah, so I'm thinking you're gonna have a similar vibe in terms of score I think this is a pure action film Like I you know how we were disappointed with like push-by and stuff like that I'm not thinking we're gonna have that if it's anything like this. Yeah No, and I'm looking forward to what it is that's from this film that we need to have known Yeah, I'm going into this one. Yeah, I think they're I think what they said is they're trying to build a universe Yeah, okay, they're all like everything it's not a sequel, right? But you might see some people there might be some connections connection world in all that kind of stuff All that kind of stuff, but yeah, I love the score in this this film me too. It was Rock vibe to it. Mm-hmm. Just a unique some quirky to it. Yeah, I was good I don't think we shouted them out either so no the composer for this was Sam Cs Sam that's the listing on IMDB. I thought he did a great job phenomenal job. Once again lighting department cinematographer Yes, all of the tech of Sathya and sorting it all of the technical aspects of it are The best part. Yeah, but by far they built the world editing sound lighting cinematography And all of that also includes the lesser things that you see and you're wondering What's that on the credits when they talk about the gaffer and the ring and rigging and best boys That's all electrical and the people who hang the things they hang the lights they hang the you know It's so the whole technical crew did a spectacular job. They did a really good job making a very fun movie Let's talk about Kythi. Yeah, because obviously he's our main star, right? I thought he did a good job. I did it a very serviceable job in this role Yeah, and because obviously he wasn't asked to like carry it in terms of acting in terms of like this big Right emotional performance, but I believed in I believed he was about kind of like similar in KGF one I believed Yash was a badass. Yep, and I believed he could do the things that he wanted to do, right? And I believed his he had emotional availability. I wish there's just nothing you can do about it when you're not filming in sync But his nice little monologue Yeah Suffered because it was dubbed. Yeah, and it was still he still did a great job Yeah, you just lose the emotional connectivity. It cannot be replicated. You can't be in the moment twice Yep. Nope. Not not in the same moment. No, sure And I don't want to harp on it, but this is just I think I really like this home I think I could have loved it even more if they would have given the actors the I mean I get it It's money and all that yeah the opportunity to actually hear them on the day I agree because it we had always never always takes something away from the performance and the believability Always doesn't mean it's gonna be bad. No, it's gonna take it away And I think almost everybody and at least the main people did a good job Yeah, nobody could have been a much better job. Thankfully there were no white actors. Nobody was bad Everybody did a solid job. So I thought he did a really really good job. Yeah, I did too And I really enjoyed his performance everybody else. I thought did fine. Yeah, and I don't think anybody really there was some I mean the crying guy with them all the time. He kind of added some comedy Yeah, and so that's kind of reminded me at points It reminded me a little bit of like Mad Max when they're on the road and they've got that guy That's with them as their little sidekick. Yeah guy who's constantly got the blood on him And you know it kind of reminded me of that and I also appreciated that the bad guys They they were almost at the line, but they never got to it across the line of being your stereotypical bad guy Yeah, you know, even when he's doing the fiendish laugh when the guy's throat was slit and I was like, okay Not too much. Yeah, but it was still I enjoyed the bad guys Yeah, yeah, if you and that's what I was saying with with like I thought it was a question with pushbar I expected pushbar to have some flaws I'd have been happy with push both it was this good, but Give me some action.  Give me stuff in the cinematography that I'm like, oh, this is great I'm just enjoying myself right now. Yes, and then I can forgive some of your other flaws This is also a great example of how you don't have to have an important story or a deeply Complicated or compelling story. This is a really simple. They tell you about the entire thing in the beginning It's a very simple story that for the run time It only dragged for me in a small section of the drive before they got to the standoff because I love that standoff So standoff yeah once once they hit the branches and the windshields, which is beautiful the glass flying it on them Great job. There was just there was a slight drag compared to the rest because it started off nice Yeah, I agree that right before that that tree thing. Yeah, there's a little bit of a drag I do and I also felt I compelled a level of care to see this guy get to his daughter Yeah, I felt that was a good why for his character That let me see if there's other positivity things because I wrote so many things You know love the score best of sound it did start to drag cinematography and lighting and that shot the standoff So the only the only other things now I would have would be a couple of things that okay Really bothered me go ahead with the first one that really there's three, okay? There were a couple of major continuity problems. The first one was when our bad guy The brother who's trying to save his other brother when he did his big snort of cocaine and got cocaine all over his nose and his face When he was fighting it was gone. Yeah, the other continuity issue was when our Main character with Karthi when when he gets stabbed and slashed there was some moments There was no blood on his back But the other thing that was even more bothersome to me. I loved that I didn't see the backstab coming Yeah, I didn't either that was that was nice, but okay So it's one thing to ask your audience to strain credulity which we get in an action film Especially an Indian action film straining credulity is pushing you to the edge of believability and almost going past it That's one thing reaching the point of absurdly impossible Blows me out of the appreciation There is no way anybody unless you're doing an absurdist movie where the whole thing is absurdist No one gets stabbed in the back twice and then slashed in the back twice and Does what he does and survives and then Holds a freaking m134 that nobody even in their strongest healthiest moment could hold That for me was the big kicker that dropped it from me from being something I was really loving to like Now you're insulting me. I didn't I didn't find it insulting Nobody can know I not even come close to that. I'm not debating that aspect I totally obviously he got stabbed and I was like and and there's pride Predominantly, it's pride on predominantly meant to be a story that you're believing the activity with some straining Credulity and some of the stunt work. Yeah defying physics. Yeah, but that for me was like Yeah, it's just I I mean, of course, I would prefer a much more believable always, but and no guys You can't you get unless unless you are a superhero Which I don't I guess was he supposed to be a superhero It's just when you're when you have a film that for the most part is trying to stay grounded in reality Like a real gang thing and a real thing to go to the place of you know bulletproof now I think even though I do agree. It was strange when he got up after being stabbed. I do twice and then slashed I'm not saying it wasn't But it's just I literally wasn't thinking too much into it at that point. I was like, okay, cool I thought the machine gun moment was really cool. We see where it comes from in Vikram now, obviously Obviously then in the trailer that we saw obviously and so when everybody said it was a kithy moment. I understand I get it Totally get it. It didn't and I had the same feeling obviously when he got up. I was a Not really believable. Okay A bunch more people in the face, please. Thank you so much. Yeah, I agree and I do agree. It's a flaw I I really enjoy the Rambo kind of which it is very Rambo, isn't it? Yeah, I really enjoy the Rambo kind of Holding of the machine gun and shooting it the way you do but the gun that Stallone's holding in Rambo Wasn't even remotely close to the level of that style of Gatling gun and the way it has and the actual Kick that it gives. It's just those are mounted Weapons that are really cool cinematically but when you have a again a film that for the most part is trying to make you believe what's happening is kind of Grounded except for the big fight scenes those so those those were my idea I think I could just kind of equate at that moment to also those Outlandish moments in some of the fight scenes and so that's it's I don't think it bothered me as much But I just I understand where you're coming from and I still thought the exact same thing Yeah, Wayne obviously got it from being kind of like you'd probably be bleeding out, but okay Not probably yeah, you would have 100% you would be dead, but even still it didn't ruin my experience of this film I still had a blast. No, that's why I can have a strong gripe about something on the hunt piano playing and still love a movie And still love a movie Just don't rant about it Rick. Just don't rant about another thing I Really enjoyed this film and it I don't maybe if Yeah, I don't know because I obviously certain times with a grade certain times We have certain expectations for certain films Vickram obviously high expectations, right? I'm actually happy. We saw this before but I am I'm actually expecting something along along this line And so I have a parameter in my mind agreed I'm actually I'm expecting better acting in terms of even though it was not bad in here, but it's just some of those three actors Yeah, I'm not expecting like a thespian style film. No, I think it's going to be an action film I do too I think it's gonna be an action film and if they give me this style of action and fun agreed I think it can be so what what I'm gonna go with you great on the grading system out of 100 Yeah on a scale of 0 to 100 give it a grade. I'd give it probably an 82. I was gonna say an 83 So we're right on the money. Yeah solid B I think it was a lot of fun if I didn't have those other moments with like yeah blatant continuity failure and The credulity being exploded. I think if it had more money, you probably could have solved some of the issue I was not the maybe getting up obviously Yeah, yeah, no, but I'm talking like continuity that helps when you have more money because obviously there's more people people Keep their eyes on things you also have time sometimes you catch it afterwards and there's nothing you can do You can do dubbing you can do via you could you can add some people miss the onset They'll miss continuity and they'll see it in post and they'll have a special effects crew that can add it And they could put the cocaine on his face They could put the blood on his back so that so I get it. I agree. There's there's that's where there's grace You can so solid B But the fact that it kept me engaged almost the entire time agreed and it was a lot of far more to like I would watch it again. Yep I'm glad we watched it before just so I have a parameter for what I'm expecting from Vikram I think you you phrased it the the takeaway line from this would be it's the movie. We wanted push, but it be I Don't know if that upsets you sorry And you know what we live in a world where people have different opinions about movies and it's really okay You don't have to be thought moonlight was better than La La Land. I didn't Now you're just an idiot Anyways, let us know what you thought about this film and yes We were watching we're going to Vikram and say two hours two hours Yep, and what should be the next Tamil film outside of these two that we should watch down below


So shall we start? My name is, so first of all, I hope you can hear me well. So my name is Mario Ciancarini. I work in a HINEL energy company in the group strategy function. Today I will try to use those 10 minutes giving you before a quick overview of what we do and why we need, we use climate data to deliver adaptation plan. And then after I will quickly give you some insight of what's our main point of attention, things we are trying to improve or we would like to have a support from the scientific community and from other stakeholders. I agree what was mentioned before, the adaptation for us and in general is not a kind of one time action, it's a process. This is why what you are seeing now, it's our main steps to deliver our adaptation plan. And starting from the climate assessment, here there is a point interesting point because we are into a long collaboration with ICTP. We are working in gathering both data from, and understanding data from global climate model and regional climate model to do both analysis at low resolution value resolution. So for us the first step of course is to understand which kind of hazards we will face, which kind of hazards are important to us. So we have developed matrixes in which we have mapped our technologies. So we are talking about power plant for power productions, power grids. We have both renewable and thermal power plants. And then we mapped all the phenomena important for us. So skipping for a moment on the right side of these slides, for us are important both chronic changes because those affect for example power demand, the temperature impact on power demand, but also for example the effect on power production because the availability of resources can change of course renewable productions or also the efficiency of thermal power plants. And of course we are affected by a wide range of acute phenomena that impact us through business interruption or damages. So for us it's very important to develop a doc matrix that can fit in our vulnerability modeling. This is why one of the important points for us is to find opportunities to collaborate in developing the sectorial metrics because for example right now we have our metrics but it would be very useful to have metrics shared at the sectorial level to set some standards and make you an example to assess the impacts of it waves. On our underground cables we correlated the relationship with the temperature, rain and other variables with our fault and we get the definition of it wave that is correlated with our fault. For us this is really important because this lead us to the other point that to deliver adaptation we need local analysis. The second step for us is to assess vulnerability. As I said we have several kinds of assets. The most difficult one for us, the most challenging one are the distributed assets because are heterogeneous, let's think about power grids, different level of quality, materials, solutions around the world. We have a footprint quite wide, we are in Italy, in Spain and also in some countries of Europe but also South America, for example Brazil, Chile, Colombia but also North America with our wind power plants, renewable power plants and storage. And we have also business development in Asia, in Africa. So this is why for us it's important that we are doing it at cover, a global coverage of our data. And so this is why we work both on global analysis. So we deliver indexes using global climate models, a low resolution to have an overview of the risk. Prioritize the areas where some phenomena are more important than others in terms of changes and potential impact. Then we need to downscale, to log a level. And we go to one of the, I would say a classic of the points that we rise to, we need data with higher resolution. Of course we need data with higher resolution, but I really would like to highlight what has been already mentioned. Of course, the higher resolution is not always the solution because we face with uncertainties and sometimes we find that sometimes you can have better information from a high level view and then you have to be able to interpret what's coming from higher resolution data. This is why we would like to have always an understanding of the uncertainties. What I'm seeing in the market, for example, there are a lot of private companies selling services, climate services, like a black boxes. So to me, for example, it's important to have the support for us and for the older stakeholders to have a kind of guideline so now to deal with this kind of uncertainties. For example, what I'm trying to do internally, is to translate the language of the uncertainties analysis also in a taxonomy, helping decision-maker understanding. This is a directional insight. Now you can save the positive, negative, you cannot save the magnitude. This is something good for decision-maker. This is not useful. But for me to try to give a guideline, a set of guidelines would help really in delivery adaptation because some companies now are kind of confused on how to use data and finish to spend money for data that are not really useful. Another point interesting for us, since I talked about renewable production, for example, is, okay, understand the average changes in a year, but we are also really interested in understanding how we'll change the internal variability, how seasons will change. So as you can imagine, if the water is concentrated, the water availability in one month instead of 12 could make a lot of difference. We are trying to study understanding which metrics to use to really understand what's going on could be very interesting for us. And coming back to the point of uncertainty, I would quote the selection of an ensemble. We're working with ICTP to understand the best way to select our ensemble of models. Sometimes it's hard to find, for example, a good selection all over the world for RCP 4.5. We would try and the companies we will need to reach as much as possible the information also on those kind of scenarios. Because when we go to adaptation, we would like to give as much information on alternative scenarios. Because then we divide our possible options of adaptation between the opportunity to increase resiliency or to leverage on response management. As been mentioned before, of course, sometimes the solutions or the measures of adaptation are measured at need times, required times. So sometimes we have to decide if we want to push more on the response or we have to push both on resiliency and response. So having more information on what's going to happen in alternative scenarios and also, this is another point I would like to highlight, in the next 10 years, 15 years, it's very important. What I'm saying, for example, that sometimes and other things, people are going to take a decision only when faced, the odds are, and if you tell them we are going to face something in the next 30 years, maybe they will not follow you. There are other priorities, pandemic, financial constraints. Well, for us, understanding and working on attribution, understanding what's going to happen, the recent past, in the next 10 years will really help companies and drive their efforts. For example, combining insight from the model and climate models. Because this is something that our management is asking a lot. We would like to understand better, because when you do a plan, you have to invest now for the next 10 years, and sometimes we face a lot of challenging in trimming a good cost-benefit analysis and make them understand that there are some priorities that must be faced now. So for us, for example, sheds and lights in those short periods would be very interesting. And then I would conclude, I guess, I'm out of time, with some ideas that could be interesting on an adaptation side. For example, it would be helpful to me to include in those kinds of studies for adaptation, also some case studies developed with the stakeholder, demonstrating how to apply concrete in a practical way, those kinds of insights. And, for example, how to develop solutions. I made the last example since we mentioned wildfire risk. For wildfire risk, we overlapped layers of land cover with fire weather indexes and layer of our assets. This is because understanding the vulnerability of the territory would be a plus for us. Another idea that came in my mind, and I will conclude, for a company, for example, would be useful to direct priorities to have also an overview of the vulnerability of a territory. Let's think about if we are able to make an atlas of climate change also an atlas of vulnerability. So maybe, and every rain could impact differently for flood or for other for other hazards in different regions. So this would be helpful in direct when we have a lot of uncertainty. Let's go practical on the meet. So thank you all and sorry for... Thank you.
