That was good. I just want to tell you, you can't be graphic at all. Oh, yes. Yeah, I would love that. I'm trying. I found Shannon. Yeah. There's no one-size-fits-all anymore. I am in a relationship with someone that I live with, that's an open relationship, and I'm extremely happy and fulfilled in that space. What do you mean by that? An open relationship. So I wanted to bring you on, or we decided to do this together, because there is a lot of questions or intrigue about our relationship, and a lot of this was brought up because of my appearance on The View. And what I was saying, which is why I love you so much, is that you were the first person I told to actually watch it after I finished it. What? Really? I didn't know that. For those of you guys who didn't watch, they will put a couple clips in here and there, but more or less, a lot of it was focused on our style of relationship. So if you're a man, was out with another woman, wasn't sleeping with her, but was having intimate contact in a way, like talking in a certain way, would you be a man then? Just curious. Do you want kids? How do you have the conversation with your children to explain your lifestyle, because it is non-traditional?  I don't know that! At your home with the kid? Yeah, I can't foreshadow. How old is the kid? Deal breaker. A person stood up and said, a lot of millennials get into these some-time-ish relationships where they're not quite committed, they're kind of in this weird limbo gray space. And I said to that person, like, if you find yourself wanting to commit to somebody who's not making that adjustment for you, there's a billion people on this planet. Like, is no excuse to be in relationships anymore that make you feel sad or don't make you feel celebrated. Me, for example, I'm in an open relationship and that works for me. And I advocate for my needs and I'm in a relationship that fits who I am. And saying that was like, boom! There's like a... negative connotation on certain words and, at least in America, that spark an immediate reaction or immediate assumption of what we have. And open means, like, a lot of people take that as like... Swingers.  I guess the greatest representation of what we got going on.  I'm not Shannon, you know what I'm saying? I'm Jared and I'm only here to support Shannon and to help her grow and help her get to the place that she wants to get to. And so, for me, I think that instead of... I don't want people to think that I'm or we're telling people this is the way to do it and this is the only way to do it. I think it's more of like, no, this is just what works for us and it may work for you guys and if it doesn't, that's okay. You're not a weird or alien. I'm not judging you for how you want to live your life. If you feel more comfortable in a closed relationship off limits to anything and everyone, that's great. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. As long as you're happy and as long as you keep continuing to grow. I mean, that's the way I view it. And that's what I was trying to express a million times but there was still this need to pass judgment and to tell me that it wasn't going to work or that it doesn't work or like almost excited for the time that it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't work anymore. Be that kids or marriage. And that's what I think what makes this relationship really suitable for me and the way that we even got into our relationship was not conventional. Right. We started off more or less with friends with benefits but I should actually clip an interview that I did where I spoke about how amazing my friends with benefits relationship was. Like how happy I was in it, how celebrated, how at peace and a lot of people can see friends with benefits while someone's being emotionally manipulated. You know, someone's getting their heart broke but it genuinely was an amazing, honest, open, pure friends with benefits and then it became like an amazing, honest, open, pure something more. Whatever the hell we were for this like gray space where we really weren't seeing other people I saw you four times a week and then it became you live with me. Yeah, yeah. He's like but everything has been awesome. You know what I mean? Like it's never been like let's have the talk. Let's figure this out. It's been more like a natural evolution of me getting closer to you and us searching for terms to help other people understand what that is. Right. Which is, I mean I've I haven't been in too many relationships but the relationships that I have been in they always developed out of someone going so what are we? What are we doing? Why are we doing this? What's going on?  And it's so I guess like pressure driven that it never really worked out for me and like with the way we grew into whatever we have it seems like organic, natural and it flows it has a stream. You know I'm not swimming upstream to make this work it's just continuously going and I'm excited to see where it goes and excited to see where you know what I mean it takes us and just let it ride from there. I really felt like I was speaking for anybody who's in a non-conventional relationship and whether that means for you sexually monogamous or sexually available or emotionally monogamous or emotionally available it doesn't matter and it really wasn't meant to be an expose of my personal life but more to answer the question of that young person of what do I do when I find myself in a relationship style that doesn't suit what my desires are. Open relationship doesn't mean for us I don't know what it means for anybody else but for us it doesn't mean open to whatever comes I think it's more of like if something came a woman or a man came that sparked an interest we talk about it. How do I experience this woman without compromising how you feel how do you experience this man without compromising what I feel. What drives me crazy is that people automatically say like oh I couldn't do it because I'm just way too jealous in every area of your life you have to mitigate your jealousy being a human naturally means you're competing for resources that's what your brain is hardwired to do so you're jealous when someone hangs out with your best friend you're jealous when your boss gives favor to another co-worker but the difference is you're not allowed in those relationships to be like no you're only supposed to like me and no one else but this is a one place I think people are so this is what I think I think when you are angry or you feel disgusted by our relationship style it's because it threatens something inside of you you're afraid to deal with and it has nothing to do with me so when people anything in life whenever somebody has a reaction to something that doesn't match the stimulus I automatically remove myself from the equation I'm like oh this has nothing to do with me this is something you're dealing with and working with and I just sparked that insecurity in you so people who want permission to feel jealous to have ownership over someone because you can't do it anywhere else in life really hold on true to this situation and again we're saying that if you found a partner where that is a priority for them that sense of ownership and exclusivity is a priority for them it's a priority for you it sounds like you have a fucking great relationship you know what I mean but for you and I we did that test that I did I was so excited to do with you both of our main things were securely attached yeah yeah I think that's the most important thing at least for me it's like I need whoever I'm with to know that I need you to trust me 100% and to trust that I wouldn't continue a to continue to grow with you if I felt like somebody else was more important to you than you if I'm still here continuing to grow with you it's because you're the most important thing in my life you know what I mean and so if I and I think that's what's so weird for me is that I've never I haven't had an experience with somebody else since we started so I don't know I guess we'll deal with that if it comes and when it comes it's vice versa you know if you I don't even know what I'm trying to say about you but I'm only talking about I don't want to put anything in your words I don't want to put anything in her brain but how I feel about it is until then until we get to that place where oh I want to experience somebody else we'll deal with that when it comes and it hasn't came yet I think a lot of people ruin relationships off of what ifs and we'll ruin relationships off of or maybe's and ruin relationships off of like my friend Stefan he just told me a story about one of his coworkers broke up with his girlfriend they've only been dating for three months but he broke up with her because he didn't want kids and he didn't want to get married you were dating her for three months and she never I guess from what he told me she never put that on him he just wanted to stop it before it got to a certain place he just ruined something that could have been great because he was afraid of hurting somebody when he didn't even know that's what she wanted or that she didn't that's not what she wanted so it was just kind of like so many people what I mean to say so many people make decisions off of maybe's what ifs or you know what they have in their own mind you know and I don't want to do that I don't want to carry anything that's not mine I don't want to carry anything that's not real I don't want to carry anything that's not true so anything that's not here in the present reality hard proof I see it in front of my eyes I'm not even getting it nah I'm fucking with that that's what you were saying that's the gift that you want to give to all people yeah like the gift that I want to give to everyone is to stop picking up shit that's not yours stop picking up problems stop picking up stress stop picking up worries stop picking up anything that's not yours to carry if it's yours to carry deal with it reason with it figure it out in yourself but if you're going to be making things up in your mind off of you know certain things what's the point in living you're not experiencing anything you're experiencing everything in your mind what were your feelings when you watched it have you watched it back I've not watched it back I just remember certain parts of it I remember the feeling of shock when they turned on me and I appreciated it because I think when you have your own platform you collect like minds so a lot of people agree with me all the time once in a while I get the douchebag dudes who you've commanded me to stop replying to but more than anything else all of them are women that I've seen recently but you know what that's only honestly because of New York Times and The View yeah I mean this prior to New York Times and The View it was only dudes calling me a slut and since those two outlets came out it's been women attacking me my self-esteem my school my right to have a voice that's been the new wave so how do you feel about that it hurts what is it that bugs you about it you know what it is it's like and I was saying this to you yesterday I was afraid to even have you on this because I love what I do for a living I think I'm really good at it I'm really proud of the work that I do I'm proud of my impact so when people attack me about that it makes me second guess myself in an area that I was super confident and happy and so even in our relationship I love you like I told you yesterday I'm just like so happy you're around I'm so grateful that you're in my life you make my life easier and more fun and effortless and so I don't want anybody to attack that I don't want to second guess the way that I feel about you or if you're a good fit for me because some fuck job in Nevada who doesn't know me you know watch something of mine and made this super critical assessment of something that to me is already perfect and so it hurt because also I just want to expect that kind of hate from women I kind of expected from men more so and so when a woman attacks something that again like I told people I'm like if I'm doing something wrong report me to the labor board if I'm not why are you coming at me because that's the thing I think if you if you think about think about why more instead of thinking about what they're saying if you think about why more it's like it's it's funny look at their AV you know what I'm saying look at little things that that indicate like who that person is because if anybody's confident in anything they do not a ill word will come out of them mm-hmm doesn't matter I do as I'm saying too like we were having this conversation after the view where for a minute you were going into the space of I bet those women's husbands ba ba ba I bet that they're actually this and then I corrected you I'm like yo we're not doing anything different in that case yeah if we're saying well I bet their relationship isn't we don't know the facts when someone tells me they're happy I trust them when someone says they're in a good relationship even if I feel differently like my friend yesterday came to me and asked what's your honest opinion on my relationship we both have our own honest opinion of that but the real truth of the matter is yo if you're happy in that if the moments where it's good outweigh all the times I see you emotionally struggling what can I say I would never even say anything if they weren't coming at you I would never think to them oh you know what they can't even say you know what I'm in a happy marriage relationship and my husband can look but he can't touch in my mind I'm gonna be like okay we'll see how long he's looking you know what I'm saying let's see how long he's looking for 10 plus years you're gonna let him look at a girl's ass fill up on whatever you want to do but he can't touch he can't move on it great that's fine you and I both know what eyes can do so if he's looking because wife lets him look if a man is looking at you and you want somebody you're gonna go for that and maybe he can turn down one, two, three, four women that he's been looking at get to 50 women that come at him if he's a good looking dude get to 50 women of all cause they're opening the door for this girl to walk up to you and say something you're opening the door to go on social media and say something because you're looking at him you know what I mean he's not gonna go talk to his wife about it cause he's not allowed to touch and maybe he can say maybe he can say no to the first 10 hit a 50 after 10 plus years I guarantee he's gonna touch one of them I'm just looking at the number statistic deductive reasoning that's all it is I'm looking at biological everything so at the end of the day I wouldn't go up to her and be like you're doing this and you're wrong if that's how you want to live your life that's great but don't be surprised if you catch your husband you're doing something I like the fact that I have the option I like the fact that I have you to talk to I even overshare with you on things that I probably shouldn't but I said I really consider you a partner and I appreciate that I can trust you to be honest without that meaning a conflict of what we have and if it is a conflict I have the opportunity to talk to you before you go talk to your friends first and before you form an opinion or a bias or you get heart broken by me I'm the first person that you digest everything with yeah and that's the thing that's what I was saying like you know forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest I'm gonna let that sit in y'all for a second but there's little there's some rules you know what I mean there's some things that like is there any rules for me yeah I would not I told you hard and fast if I find out about someone else via someone else be that your phone be that someone telling me something that would be a deal breaker because I've given you every opportunity to be honest and to come to me and if you still feel the need to sneak around like you're just a shithead to me and we're not compatible to have the kind of relationship that I would feel honored in so you know what's actually amazing with that even too like I've never checked your phone before I've literally never checked your phone before your email is open our emails are always open at the same time you've never gone through your email John you can have a gaze you can have a gaze all in there there's nothing special in there but I mean like that if anything if I've given you all access and so far you've told me that there's been nothing that you've desired dang so far I feel like there's been nothing that you have chased in that way I could try to affirm it by going through your things but I just don't even feel the desire to do that I mean because that of course if you asked you can go through my phone I would feel upset and annoyed with it but not from the fact of why why would you, why do you not trust my word for this have I ever given you a reason to not believe anything that I say so that from that perspective I would be like that's kind of whack I mean go ahead have a gaze hope it makes you feel better but you know at some point it's it might be something that you need to do and it's open to that you can have that it's okay it's not weird for you to want to go through my phone it's securely attached to Clarify means the ability to let someone go and trust that if it's in their heart's desire they'll come back to you for the love that you have so somebody who securely attached can watch somebody walk away around the corner not see them and not go into a panic attack like I think yours in my communication is not very high we talk a fuck lot and we spend a lot of time together but I'm not a very big text or phone person neither am I so there'll be like you'll go to work I'll talk to you when you come home it's not like during the day I'm keeping up with you and that's because I trust you're having a good day and I trust that something bothered you you can reach out to me and you trust that if you need me you can call me and vice versa but I don't have to check in with you constantly I talk to you when I want to not because I feel like I need to do that in order to make sure that you're doing the right thing and that you're acting accordingly so securely attached is a very big thing for me as well too because of the fact so I should ask you this question so not only are you in an open relationship with somebody who could possibly have experience with other people you also know that I have a YouTube channel where I do have other dudes on there yeah does that bother you? no it doesn't bother me because um I look at it like this like if I were to be doing music right if I'm on tour, if I'm on stage when I'm on stage that person that's on stage is for them you hear what I mean? and when you're on your YouTube that's for all the people that are watching out here you get what I mean? that's not for me that's not mine that's not something that I can say hey you can't do this, this is weird this is making me look bad it has nothing to do with me in that atmosphere, in that realm in that arena that's yours so whatever you decide to do in that arena that's yours if I'm in my arena and I'm doing what I do that's what I decided to do to further something for us you get what I'm saying? like you said before when you're in an acting and let's say I do a role where I have to kiss somebody or I have to have a sex scene with somebody that is okay in closed relationships people do that you know what I'm saying? people don't have a talk with their wife they have booked a role but I have to do this most of the time they're gonna say I'm gonna swallow my pride and let you do this because I know that it's a bigger purpose so for me it doesn't bother me it doesn't bother me at all no I don't feel threatened by any of them and that's I think what is like we discussed for some reason when you get into a relationship with somebody you start personalizing everything all day long I see good looking dudes you'll see good looking women like that's a normal part of being a human I don't expect for you to become a totally separate person because you now have an attachment to me and that's even in the last we did this a second time not really we kinda did this another time we made the fear vlog but in that vlog I said to you as a joke not even as a joke I don't know what the fuck I was saying I was like who do you belong to oh yeah and you were like why belong to you and you asked me in return and I was like I belong to you I said it weird because I shouldn't say it in the first place because that really is counterintuitive of what it is that we built that is a part of the love that I have and share with you that I wanna be your best case scenario and I'm not afraid of competing with someone else so I don't own you I'm just the best person for you I'm your partner I'm the person that is more than just a desire is more than just a lust I'm the one that you come home with and that you talk about your hard day within that you talk about your family with like that's me so that's who Shannon is to you but you're still you to you you still have the right to give yourself and give your time to other people I just ask to be a part of that in partnership and also another thing that I wanna add on to the end of everything is it is always evolving and it is continually growing so today this is where we're at I can't tell you what we're gonna be at in 10 years so all the what ifs questions all that shit that they were doing on the view was eating at me because it was like what what if what do you mean what if what is what if you know what I mean a make believe story that you put in your mind come on man like what happens and if it doesn't happen we don't deal with it so it's just like if we grow into different people and we grow into different things and we grow into different worlds and we decide you know what let's try it this way that's open for discussion for that too so you know that's what I want everyone to know is that stop judging that's it just stop judging like look at yourself first figure out yourself first and then we can have a conversation because I'm trying to figure out myself she's trying to figure out herself we're not trying to look at you and figure you out that's it I was saying like in the last closing point um I would like a world where we stop thinking about what's normal and start thinking about what actually suits us I sing to the day that a lot of people would trade in their authentic skin for a normal looking coat that helped them to blend in with society so every relationship that you get into shouldn't be like well here's the rules that society has prescribed for us let's both of us who are two separate individuals with our own thoughts, dreams, desires and needs subscribe to those let's the two of us sit down and define rules or define boundaries or labels that actually fit what we need who we are because there's nothing worse than forcing someone in a relationship style that doesn't fit their actual needs then they feel crushed inside of it they feel minimized inside of it and when they act out they feel like shit then you feel like shit because you're betrayed but that could have been avoided by just saying who are you what do you need and how could we create a situation that actually sets you up for success because I don't want to hurt you I don't want to disappoint you I want you to be proud to be with me and I know for a fact that what we share what every man could do that I'm not the ideal partner for everybody but I'm ideal for you but I only know that because I was honest with you about who I am right exactly two share in two day okay so this is not a closed conversation amongst us either so what Jared and I have talked about doing is that because we are representing a non-conventional style of relationship we are open to questions and we are open to examining this with you guys you know minus the judgment would be ideal so we're going to start something on a separate channel that's going to be in this similar style where it's just us filming our life we're filming an activity or filming something that we're taking on together in partnership and then afterwards having like mature dialogue about it and so we invite you guys to come on that maybe we'll have other people on that channel as well too but it's really an opportunity for people to examine life you know I love the quote life is not worth living and so that second channel is really an opportunity for me to do that I mean it will focus heavily on relationships and sexuality because that's what I love talking about but it's not going to be limited to just that yeah it's going to be good I mean I'm not too fond of cameras and stuff but yes you are but nah not really I get weird when spotlight gets on me don't play yourself I do I can't front but you know when I'll get used to it and I'll be a better speaker so I apologize for everyone with my broken English you did great so we just left of you how did it feel you're lying you were not you were shitting yourself nobody hates Michelle Obama as much as a lot of people want to try to they just simply can't I want to learn from someone like that and so I took the opportunity I went to New Hampshire I almost hit you so hard Shini


Nurse Practitioners. How can nurse practitioners be prepared to respond when patients share DTC results? Consumers who have undergone some type of direct-to-consumer genetic test or DTC testing is expected to surpass 100 million very soon. DTC genetic tests are readily available, often marketed as gifts for family or friends, and can be purchased quickly online. Patients bringing DTC genetic test results to primary care providers, such as nurse practitioners, has and will become more frequent. Nurse practitioners should be aware of what these results mean, where to go for assistance, and recommendations for next steps. Patients trust their healthcare team and are counting on you for the most sound and educated advice. In these cases, it's up to you to remain knowledgeable about how to interpret these results, as well as keeping an updated list of genetic specialists who may be able to help you. There are nurse practitioners with clinical genomics nurse credentials, or those who may be working in a genetics clinic. Additionally, there are physicians who work as clinical geneticists, as well as genetic counselors, to name a few. While DTC genetic tests can provide details about ancestry, traits, and some health risks, they do not test for all known variants that can be disease-causing. This means they should not be used to rule out or screen for a particular condition. Even if the DTC genetic test results show an abnormality that may be clinical actionable, these results typically need to be confirmed with a clinical genetic test. While DTC tests look at some genomic information, clinical genetic tests are more comprehensive and are based upon current genomic information known for a certain disorder. Due to this, DTC genetic test results should not be used for clinical decision-making. It is important to communicate with patients about the risks of a false sense of security if their results in fact come back normal. As mentioned, all known variants are typically not tested, which means that the patient may still be at risk and patients should really understand this. For instance, if a DTC genetic test result identifies a single gene high-risk variant, such as those we see with the BRCA gene variants for breast cancer, clinical genetic testing should be initiated and or a referral or further discussion with a genetic specialist should occur. In the meantime, it's your duty as a nurse practitioner to maintain and update a thorough family history. And then depending on the results of the clinical test, patients, family members, and close relatives should be educated about their risk and offered any screenings, treatments, or other interventions as indicated. For patients with a low-risk variant or one considered to be multifactorial, involving genetics plus the environment, such as with type 2 diabetes, providers should be prepared to explain that this may indicate increased risk for condition, but does not mean that they have or will even get the condition. Patient education in this case should focus on lifestyle management as well as ongoing screenings. However, DTC genetic testing has been approved for a few variants for medication management via pharmacogenomics. Tests that are FDA approved do not need to be confirmed with a clinical genetic test. Currently, there are just a few medications for which this is approved. However, one caveat here again is that patients may not be tested for all known genetic information and may only get results for a handful of the variants that are known. For drug metabolism specifically, you always want to remember your chemist, also known as your pharmacist, as someone to seek professional guidance from as well. With the increase in DTC genetic test access as well as the increased use, interpretation of these results will fall on nurse practitioners or other healthcare providers who are trusted to provide the most sound advice. In order to do this, nurse practitioners are expected to remain knowledgeable and up-to-date just as they would with any other clinical practice update in order to provide the best evidence-paced care for every patient.


Modeling revolves around the editing of meshes. But what are meshes? A mesh is a collection of vertices, edges, and faces that describe the shape of a 3D object. But then you ask, what are vertices, edges, and faces? Vertices is the plural form of vertex, which represents a single point. Edges are the line segments between vertices. And faces are flat surfaces enclosed by edges. But some software will also call these polygons. You've probably heard the term polygons, or polys, when people refer to 3D models. If a model is made of polygons, it is a mesh. These are the building blocks of all meshes. And modeling involves the manipulation of these building blocks to create a 3D mesh. So how do we create meshes? Well, we already have our cube here, which is a mesh, but let's try to add another mesh. If we go into the add menu we had used before to add objects, you'll notice that it looks a little bit different. Because we're in edit mode, Blender only allows us to add mesh shapes. These are the same options that belong to the mesh category in the object add menu. Let's go ahead and add a UV sphere. Right now, it's a bit hidden within our cube, so I'm just going to go ahead and hit G to move it outside. As you can see, this UV sphere is made of vertices, edges, and faces. And so it is a mesh. It should be noted, however, that adding meshes in this way will add the mesh shape to the original cube object's mesh data. If you toggle back to object mode, you'll notice that both the sphere and the cube are considered as a single object. If you want to add a separate sphere object, you're going to want to use the object add menu instead. You can do this by going into object mode in the top left. Then go to the add menu, go to mesh, and select UV sphere from there. You will go into the differences between object and edit mode in a separate video. Now that you're able to create meshes, it's time to learn how to start editing them.


Hi there all my esu8 friends. I'm so excited to share with you today about one of Apple's latest apps called clips This is a fun way to build an expressive story And I hope that you can agree with me that it's so simple to use that anyone could pick it up and use it tomorrow So let's get started Let's watch this introduction video from fellow educators seeing what's possible with Apple's clips app Hey everybody, welcome to my classroom. We're headed on a trip to science world today in Vancouver, BC. Let's go Want to find out what happened to me the book So first we'll visit the app store and search for the app called clips It is free. It's only available for ios devices And when we read the prior prerequisites, we can see the devices that are supported Require ios 10.3 or later And the list of compatible devices is below From here install it. We'll open it up and see what it can do To get started with the clips app. Let's launch it from my home screen It's the icon down in the bottom right hand corner right now When I tap it to open it, you'll notice that it's right away ready to record It's ready for instant capture and my three modes of capturing are across the bottom middle of my app I can take a photo a video Or pull up something from my camera roll my library With each of the photo or the video tools you can flip the camera around to be front facing or rear facing One thing that's different that is that instead of just pressing that red record button once to turn it on You'll actually hold it down the entire time you want to capture like this Welcome to my video introducing the clips app So I held down that red record button the whole time that I wanted to capture And it shows up now as my clip down in my camera roll my project roll The same is true with the still photo in this example. I'll pull one in from my my library here And when I before I actually have added it to my project I can pinch and zoom and move it around so I can position it in different ways on my screen And then to add it to my project I again have to press and hold that red record button like this You'll see the counter across the top middle is seeing showing me how many seconds I've captured this image for And now it shows down in my project across the bottom I can trim my clips Um by tapping on them once and then using the scissors icon to maybe cut off the end or the beginning And the same with a still photo And I can also mute the audio Or delete the clip entirely So there are some simple editing tools But truly that is not what the clips app was intended for The clips app was intended for the the quick and easy instant sharing of media so not a lot of pre-planning and not a lot of editing And really the power in my mind lies in the features running across the top of my clips app We're going to start with live titles So live titles is the icon that has a speech bubble with lions running through it And when I choose that icon I'm now selecting what style of live titles I might want to use you can see different color schemes and formats of that text And basically it's just going to pick up anything that I say as long as I'm connected to the internet And print those words across my screen. Thus they're called live titles What's really powerful about it is it's timed perfectly with how I say things too So if I pause it pauses and vice versa I'm going to choose a style of of live titles here where the text is running across the bottom And I'm going to go get a picture that will show my office window here Currently and now I'll show you how I record and it picks up my text and puts it on the screen as a live title So I'm going to press and hold that red record button Welcome to my new office this year in downtown kneeling You'll notice I let up before I had finished typing all of my live titles and it probably made some mistakes too But don't worry about that you can tap on your clip that you've already added to your project And using the first button in the editing tools the one with the horizontal lines on it You can pull up what it thought was to be the captions Welcome to my new office this year in downtown kneeling You can add that in even add an end punctuation hit apply And let's play it back Now on that clip you can mute the audio you can mute the original audio But you can turn off those live titles even after you recorded them by selecting none Or you can change their style It's just all saved within that clip So the the option or the capability of turning parts on and off is pretty powerful Also, this is kind of an advanced fun thing, but you can definitely Take out certain words And leave others in there So if I just leave in the words new office this year It will wait until that point comes in the video and then show those live titles at that moment And it deletes the others So it's pretty fun to um think about the dictation possibilities while using live titles and clips one other capability of the clips app is just to use the different filters that are available inside of The second feature here, which is filters. This just gives you some color schemes comic book type look And also using some of the interactives that come with it. There's several menus So you can swipe through and see some of the emojis that are available You can position them wherever you want on your screen And we call these overlays and they do have The the ability to change some of the text. It's called smart text. So for example here We could put this one this overlay in the middle here And if we didn't want it to say the date We could say welcome or any other text that we wanted to work within that overlay Now you're not able to edit the font size or the color of the the text behind it So you do have some limitations. I'll turn the live titles off But you'll notice that here. Let me add one more that might have some animation here That when you um capture this clip They will have a little bit of animation to them So i'll press and hold to add this photo now And you'll see how they kind of animate themselves into your screen and add a little bit of life to your project So that makes them pretty fun The final button across the top of my clips app is one to create a poster And these posters are some preset title slides basically Where again you can change the text, but you can't edit the style too much So here i'll just select the poster Image that i want to customize and then change the text To whatever i want to say When i hold to record this clip in you'll see the little bit of animation that comes with it And i can even add some of those overlays on top So again there we go Every time i add a new clip to my clips project it always goes to the end But i can easily press and hold and drag it into a new position So maybe i want to introduce my project with that first clip So i just move it to the beginning And proceed to make my way through that project I can also delete clips by tapping the trash can And easily Add some small editing to this I do have one kind of tip that i encourage you to try that in my mind really elevates clips To something more powerful than just a slideshow creator And that's if you take an image from your library. That's a panorama image Let's use a shot that i know was wide enough to really showcase what this feature can do Here's an example of an image that Is too wide to fit onto the square aspect ratio that clips requires us to use So we're going to lock the record button into recording mode by again pressing and dragging to the right And while it's locked in record mode I just take my finger and just pan it across that panoramic image Now you can see it was a little bit choppy, but the power of clips is that when i play this back It smooths it out and it really Makes it feel like a natural Flow to that panoramic image Same thing with pinching and zooming i could take an image And let's zoom in on it and see what's happening here So i'll lock the record button into record mode and then pinch and zoom and take a look at the lego pieces here Tap to stop and we'll watch it back and you'll see that clips does a nice job of smoothing out that motion and kind of Highlighting the part of the the image that i want to showcase So there's some great capabilities in here But yet it's so simple that anybody can use it very easily including our youngest learners And the sharing capabilities are vast So down on the bottom right hand Portion of my clips app. There are the different places that I can export this video to More importantly, I can save my video To the camera roll at any time and then do it with it whatever I want But one feature that I definitely want to try Before I get ready to export it is in the top right hand corner and it's the music note icon Now when I go into here, I can find some soundtracks that have already been created and that are already Completely free and clear for me to use in my project and they don't have any words So they make them great for background music even better than that they are Going to customize and and match themselves To my project. So if I select one of these, it's going to take my project and analyze it and then time the music to match My video perfectly. It'll make the music get quieter when my voice is in there and Bring up the sound when my voice is not It'll end when it needs to end or speed it up if it if it is running out of time Or vice versa slow it down if if you need more duration So it's pretty powerful that you don't have to go create your own music and that these are all available as soundtracks to play with the project Now if I hit play you'll see that that music plays in the background and it's all Kind of professionally done for me without a little without little hassle at all So one final thing here underneath my drop-down arrow in the top left hand corner of the clips app It does show other clips projects that are time and date stamped so that you can come back to them and edit them later on But like I said when you are finished just use that share arrow Save it to your camera roll and from there you can do whatever you would like with your clips project So hopefully I've shown that that's simple enough to use now. Let's talk about some educational uses for the classroom Now I'd love to share with you a lesson idea teaching vocabulary with the clips app Are you looking for a great vocabulary building activity? One that helps students practice point of view and perspective writing This is a simple one-class period challenge that students can complete entirely in the clips app First capture a tightly framed photo of your desired object Second zoom in as far as you can go next write your clues Finally zoom out to reveal your answer Can you guess these zoom clues? Besides teaching vocabulary in any language. How about having students create zoom clues of book covers Or geometric shapes or geographic locations or even historical figures This clip inspiration idea was made in clips by katie morrow Another great way to find inspiration for what you can possibly do with the clips app Is just to search the hashtag classroom clips on twitter Here you can see in the search results There are hundreds of examples and ideas All focused on apples clips app Some of them come from kindergarten All the way through lesson ideas for teachers To things like getting to know you A lot of tech tips So that students and teachers alike can learn about technology through the clips projects people have created Here's one introducing screen recording and ios 11 As we scrolled through these You should be able to gain lots of ideas and examples To show both your fellow educators and the students in your class Um, I know that many educators like to use the clips app For weekly newsletter or parent messages Another great use is a book talk using the clips app where students Take pictures of the books pages And then use the interactives and stickers and posters To talk about what they're reading about and share that as a clips video Another great use that i've seen is Being able to Demonstrate understanding of whatever they're learning about in class whether it be a math problem Or a science experiment Giving students access to that camera and letting them share their story The simplicity of the clips app like i've mentioned before along with the mobility and portability Of being able to on the fly create a finished product that can be then shared easily With a variety of audiences Makes it very applicable to educational settings So i do encourage you to scroll through this on your own and look for Examples of clips that you can pull into your classroom And don't stop there Get ideas for clips on your own turf share them out with the rest of us And if you ever want an extra set of hands don't hesitate to holler to us at esu8 The crust is made of rock and can vary between 7 and 50 kilometers thick in places It is broken into sections called tectonic plates The crust floats on the mantle which has an approximate depth of 3 000 kilometers It is made of semi molten rock and molten rock known as magma Temperatures in the mantle vary between 500 and 900 degrees celsius at the surface And 4 000 degrees celsius closer to the core Can make a wish anything you want will come true as we chase the February wishes around swings beneath sliding board Until we can hold them in our hands coping each thing we wish for will one day come true


Welcome to the 2015 NCHA World Finals. We just had the $5,000 novice non-pro event decided and it was a close competition. I'm here with the winner Michelle Barnes who wrote Timely Edition. She is the world champion winner and the finals winner. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Now you had two competitors. You were actually placed third coming into this event. You're all about $300 apart. So extremely close. Tell us about your competitors and what your game plan was. So when the first of November rolled around I was still sitting first by, you know, a healthy margin and then my horse got a little sore so we just decided we're going to turn him out and he can stay home until the world finals. Well, very slowly, guess what? I became second. I became third. And so here's this gap. And so when we rolled in yesterday I thought, well, if I can just hold on, you know, to third or second. So then yesterday ends and I'm still sitting third. So then when that gap, that margin got so tight between this top three and this first place gal goes into Marks of 224, Mike Wood, Les Bates, they turned around and look at me and they said, you have to go big or go home. So went in and very, very fortunate that the cows were cooperative and, you know, we marked a 227. So that was enough then with the average and winning today to put me then up into first place because I really was kind of holding on to that last rung on the ladder. So worked out well today. Yeah, you really pulled it out. 227 is a great score. I mean, 218 is still a really fair score, which was your score in the first go. Yes, I'm very pleased yesterday, but today was really What do you think you did differently? Yesterday I had a couple of times when I just was a little short, didn't really give it my all going to the corner. And so today I thought, wham, I've got to get there every single time. And that horse, I mean, when the crowd got louder and louder, he just went, wha, he just got better and better as the run progressed. So and maybe as a rider you relaxed too. So because when the buzzer went off, I didn't know the buzzer went off. Everybody was yelling so loud, you know, it was really exciting, very exciting. Well now you've had timely addition for about a little over 12 months or 18 months or so. Oh no, we've had him since he was five. So we've had about three years. Oh, okay, I'm sorry. No, that's all right. What is it that you like about this horse and companion horse? He would literally almost cut that tripod if it would move just a little bit. He's very, very, very cow-y. He has a really interesting personality. Like right now he would be, you know, getting into your business, seeing what you have. But he is very, very cow-y. He doesn't know the word quit. He just goes and gives it his all every time. A lot of heart. Oh yes, I never feel like he's weak-hearted or like, I'd rather do something different. Try again tomorrow. No, he's always 100%. Now this was the first year you hauled, is that right? The first and the last. So tell us about that. What was your decision to haul and what that experience was like? So last summer, Mike Wood, Roper Curtis, our two trainers sat down and said to my husband and myself, would you be interested in hauling? You know, there's a group of customers who are and you would haul in the 50 AM and then, timely addition, they said, well, let you show him in the 5,000 and then if you need him for 50 AM backup, we have him. Okay, so we made the commitment. And starting January 1st, that's what we did is I showed him in the 5, just in case I needed him in the 50. And then pretty soon I started looking to Stanley's going, well, this might be doable to be, you know, in the top five. And so we were very fortunate that it worked out that we stayed in the top five and here we are. And how was life on the road? It was very, very interesting. So we bought a fifth wheel trailer because we live so far up in the Northwest. There aren't any cuttings, you know, in the winter, everything shuts down. And so we bought a fifth wheel trailer. We parked it at Mike and Ropers, hooked it up and we would take our living quarters to the shows, come home and get out of the living quarters and get into our fifth wheel. So I bet you I've only been home maybe half a dozen times in the year. So my husband and I are ready to go home and stop living in a trailer for a little bit. Well, you've obviously gave it the commitment it needed. So what's next for you? Well, tomorrow morning, I have a three-year-old that I'm going to show in the amateur. And the fellow that we have at training with Russell Rod, he looked at me the other day. He goes, now, how many three-year-olds have you shown? And I said, Russ, I have never ridden a three-year-old. So tomorrow will be a brand new game. You'll have fun. Oh, yes. If nothing else, it'll be fun. So the look on Russ's poor face was a little bit shocked, but he'll get over it. Well, congratulations and good luck for tomorrow. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Won't you folks? Yes, and if you'd like to get acquainted with murder real soon Then listen to Dead Man's Deal It's an original radio play by that chill master Amel Tepperman and our star tonight is Larry Haines Who plays the role of Joe Lester It all happened to Joe Lester Who's really a small time gambler who had no business in that big time game with Barney Flood and Dan Kilmer and Nick Zapparatty and the others But it's it's really Lester's story Here he is to tell it to you. I Guess it was the biggest poker game. I ever took a hand in Was in Barney Flood's rule of a 327 a Brandon hotel They're all big shots. I Had to play a careful game I only had about $3,000 and if I didn't nurse it a single deal could wipe me out Matta Lester playing kind of tight on Joe.  Maybe you don't belong in this one and he'd guts for this game You tell him Dan, maybe Lester doesn't know what guts are by now. Listen, you don't try to get tough Lester.  I loved What was worse Barney flooding his man Dan Kilmer were laughing at me because they knew I didn't have the guts to do anything about it Then it came The hand I've been waiting for Dan Kilmer was dealing Barney flood opened blind I opened for the thousand I dropped The others all dropped out But when I picked up my five cards, I Found I had three aces This was the way I'd wanted it just Barney flood and me and they were the strong hand before the buy Now I'd show them who had guts. I Counted out $2,000 and $100 bills and shove them out on the table. I See you Barney and raise your thousand. Oh So our little lester's waking up Okay, I see the raise Just the two of us. How many cards money one right? And how many do you want big shot? I'll take two.  I looked at the courage and Suddenly I felt as if I'd inherited the whole universe I had bought an extra ace. I Held four aces Well big shot I Bought something here. I think it's the winning hand I'm going to bet the works Yeah All the cash I have with me 90 grand I felt the sweat on my hands as I watched him push the money out on a table 90 grand he was betting and I had him beat with my four aces But I couldn't see his bed. All I had was about a thousand dollars. Come on big shot What are you waiting for?  You're taking advantage of me, Barney. You're trying to show me up You know, I have to drop out even with a better hand. Oh, so you think you have a better hand, huh? Make the bed inside my limit and you'll see All right lester We'll see what kind of a gambler you really are Yeah, I'll withdraw this 90 grand bet Don't make another kind of bet The bet you can't see If you have the guts Well, what kind of bet I'll bet my life against your life The man who loses this deal Agrees to commit suicide For a full minute after Barney flood made his proposition the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop Barney flood and I sat facing each other across the table our clothes cards in our hands These were the biggest stakes men had ever played for a life against a life The other players were stunned and frightened by it. They wanted no part of it One by one they made lame excuses and faded from the room Only Dan Kilmer was left with Barney me Look Barney Why should you rescue in life against this punk's life?  Yes, Barney.  You see Dan.  It's okay with me, but I don't want Dan in the room It's just between you and me. Let him go out before we uncover our cards. All right, the lesson bar you heard him Dan just the two of us Okay, if you come here on the table Dan, I don't like I say Okay Thanks Now go down to the lobby and wait So long I'll be waiting in the lobby Okay, Lester There's no backing out now We'll open our hands The loser picks up that gun and blows his brains out This was the minute I'd been waiting for My lips were dry. I wet them with my tongue Now at last I had Barney flood exactly where I wanted them Okay, Barney Read them and weep How do you like these one ace two aces three aces four aces? How do you like them Barney? All races, huh? Kept my eyes on Barney. I wanted a milk the last drop of satisfaction out of that moment But he was a born gambler his face didn't show a thing He sighed and slowly he began to turn over his own cards Three of hearts four of hearts five of hearts six of hearts Seven Straight flush Her Lester Straight flush beats four of a kind. Yeah, you only bought one card. That's right. I Went in with three four five and six of hearts. I bought the seven of hearts a Street flushing I Can't believe it. I've lost this Lester you've lost You've lost your life And the gambler always pays up.  I Stood up and leaned across the table. I pointed the gun at Barney flood my shot him in the head Now I had to work fast and carefully I had it all figured out when I shot Barney I leaned over the tables so the barrel of the gun was close to his head There were powder burns on his temple around the wound I wiped my fingerprints off the gun and press Barney's hand around the barrel Next I turned my attention to the card table. This was important I left my four aces intact where I laid them out, but I changed Barney's hand slightly I removed the seven of hearts replaced in the deck and rippled through the left under seven of diamonds I substituted this for the seven of hearts Now Barney's hand was no longer a straight flush It was an ordinary straight and my four aces were better So now it looked as if I had won the game. I was ready. I Picked up the phone and asked the operator to connect me with the police Hello police headquarters. This is Joe Lester. I'm in room 327 of the Brandon Hotel Barney flood has just committed suicide It looks as if Lester has carefully set the stage for foul play He has to be careful if he wants people to believe that Barney has committed suicide Because that's the last thing in the world a man would do How about it Mary? What side are you betting on? I'll give you odds that Lester isn't caught why you know very well that I don't bet Oh, come on Mary. I'll tell you what I'll bet you my Sunday shroud against a package of lipton tea My gracious, I never know what you're going to say next But I still don't believe in gambling and folks if you feel the same way about it Then I know you'll like lipton tea because you can always be sure of its flavor T experts describe that flavor by saying it's brisk brisk And brisk flavor means that Lipton's always tastes fresh and vigorous never flatter and sip it Lipton's is a real experience in tea drinking That's why I always say that you don't know how good tea can be till you know how good Lipton's is and now Let's go back to Joe Lester Let's see if his airtight scheme to make Barney floods murder look like suicide goes over with the police Yeah, so let's hope it's not so airtight, but it leaves him dangling in here at the end of a hangman's noose At headquarters all the players told the same story How Barney flooded proposed a suicide bed and how they'd all cleared out Inspector Larkin dismissed them all Leaving only Dan Kilmer and myself in the office with him and the stenographer Now you kill my essence fixie your Barney floods right hand man Well, you know, I have a private detective's license Barney paid me to be his bodyguard. You work for Barney a long time. That's right Mr. Says you left your gun on the table. Is that right? That's right And I went out Okay, Lester. It's your story from here What happened after kill my one out? Well Barney and I uncovered our hands He had a small straight, but I had four aces you saw the cards lying there on a table. I saw them. What happened then well Barney said well, I guess I lose He picked up the gun. I tried to stop him, but he said a gambler always pays up And he put the gun to his head to pull the trigger before I could stop him. Hmm How do you think of that story Kilmer? I think he lies makes you think so. I Can't say yeah, that's no evidence Looks like suicide I'm afraid there's no charge told John Lester and we say was You mean I'm free to go. Yeah, sure Get out Then Kilmer gave me a dirty look But I only grinned at him. I Got up and went to the door Everything was going my way. I was rid of Barney flood. I'd committed the perfect murder And now I was free to go to Louise Funny what's awful funny Louise how Barney killed himself He's a drink. Oh, thanks There's nothing funny about it. He lost and he paid off. Yeah, I know but Somehow I can't imagine Barney lives in a hand like that Listen Louise you stop thinking about Barney. He's dead seeing I'm alive, and I'm not letting any other man have you Yes, darling, it's plain come here, baby That's better. I'm crazy about you It seemed to have changed you seem so strong.  We're getting married tomorrow. We won't wait. I'd better answer the phone. I'll let it bring you better. Let me answer Well, okay, go ahead, but make it snappy. Well, I will go Hello Yes, this is Plaza 87790. I watched her at the phone And she was more beautiful than anything I'd ever known That was the happiest I'll ever be that one short moment while I watched her at the phone Then it was over. Yes, he's here Who is this talking about Please before he's trailed off into a sob and she She looked as if all her life had been drained out of her body by that phone call Louise Who was that? Who was that on the phone? What'd he say? He? He said remind you about that about the seven of hearts. He said, you know what he meant Seven heart card I'd substituted and Barney floods hand But no one can know about the seven of hearts Barney was the only one and he was dead Who gave you that message Louise? Who was that on the phone? He didn't give his name, but I recognized the voice Louise for heaven's sakes. Tell me who it was I can't believe it, but I swear it was Barney flood It's the phone again. He's calling back. I'll answer Push Louise or face side slowly. I walked toward the ringing phone almost in the days And picked it up. I Think I must have been expecting it Because I wasn't surprised when I heard that voice I only felt numb Wanted to talk to me about the seven of hearts And he was waiting outside But who I dropped the phone and went to the window pulled back the blind and peered out at first at first I saw nothing and then And then I spotted him a shadowy figure standing in a doorway across the street With his hat brim pulled low over his face It just then a car swept down the street its headlights illuminated the doorway and I got a quick look at the face There was blood Tripping from under the hat brim Remember how I managed to get out of Louise's apartment not the front way I didn't go to take one to the street with that shadowy figure waiting out there I stumbled blindly down the back stairs flight after flight almost tripping skinning my hands on a banisters bruising my albos But I didn't care wanted to get away away from there What tax tax a taxi yeah, yeah sure Oh Quick sure, but where to where to I didn't care anywhere anywhere as long as it was away from here Home home. That was a place. I'd go home and shut myself up and not answer the phone 17 Glidden Road quick right give the sigh of relief as we pulled away Out of pure instinct I suppose I looked out the rear window Suddenly the blood began to plunder my head like a thunderous avalanche Because back there at the corner was that same shadowy figure Getting into another cab Pointing after my taxi Faster faster drive. You got to go faster. What's wrong, mister? Look that cab behind us $20 if you lose it What cab that one you're full of cab behind us one of us must be nuts Maybe you had a couple too many there isn't any cab behind it Turn around and looked again My driver was right The street was empty as far back as I could see I got out of the cab and saw that the driver was looking at me as if he thought I was drunk or crazy My shirt was wet with perspiration.  He was in there talking to Dan Kilmerer What's your idea of barging in here, Lester? I got it taught to you Inspector. What's wrong? You look all broken up. Don't keep out of this, Dan. I've come to see the inspector. How do you want? I want protection. You've got to protect me. Protect you against whom? Against Bonnie Flood. He's come back. It's a gang. No, no, no. It's no gang.  At first I thought it was a foolish... But now I'm sure it's Bonnie Flood. How do you know it's Bonnie Flood? Because I stopped short. I'd almost said too much. Well, I was sure it couldn't be anybody else but Bonnie Flood. Get out of here, Lester. I've got no time to waste. But you've got to sign an officer to protect me. I'm afraid to go home. Look, Lester, I think you're going nuts the way Dan says. When I signed an officer to you, everybody'd say I was going nuts, too. Signing a cop to protect the man against a ghost.  Dan, will you help me? What? Who me? You're not working now, are you? No, I lost my job when Bonnie died. Look, how about a job? Protect me, huh? Against a ghost? Against Bonnie Flood's ghost? What do you care as long as I pay you? Okay, Lester, you've hired me. Come on, then. Come home with me.  Dan Cumber came home with me. And we sat up, whiling the time away, playing two handed poker. My dear, Lester. Yeah. Yeah, sure. So you're really scared now, Lester? Don't laugh at me, Dan. You'll be scared, too, if you seem real eyesore.  I don't know about that. And the telephone call about the seminar hearts? The seminar. Yeah. I figured that stuff would sort of, uh... get you on edge. What do you mean? I mean that I'm the one that planted that man outside Louise's apartment. You? Sure. That cab driver was my man, too. I had him planted out in back of Louise's house. He was waiting for you to come out the back way. You see, Lester, I had you figured right. Every move. You... You did all that? What was the idea? I wanted to get you right here. Like this. Afraid of your own shadow. What? What for? Pick them up. I picked up the cards. I stared at them. It was four aces. The same hand I'd held with Barney Flood. How would you like to make a little bet on your hand, Lester? Against mine?  What do you mean? Don't you get it yet? Here. I'll turn my cards over for you. See? Three of hearts. Four of hearts. Five of hearts. Six of hearts. And the seven of hearts. You see, Lester, my hand does have the seven of hearts in it. I thought it Barney Flood's. Before you took it out. What? How do you know about the seven of hearts? For a long time, Dan Kilmer didn't say anything. He just sat there. Looking at me. Then he got up. Took out his gun. Layed it on a table. Then he went to the door. How did I know about the seven of hearts? You see, Lester, I dealt the other hand, too. Barney Flood was right. The seven of hearts. You see, Lester, I dealt the other hand, too. Barney Flood was right. A gambler must always pay up. A gambler must always pay up. The gun is ready on a table. And now, I'm ready, too. He's in a very grave situation now. He's in a very grave situation now. So grave, he needs the help of an undertaker. So grave, he needs the help of an undertaker. But he was only a beginner in crime. He might have done better if he hadn't come to such an untimely end. Well, I've got no sympathy to waste on him. He shouldn't have gotten into that poker game in the first place. Oh, I don't know.  Hey, was I lucky that day? She should have seen those ghosts shedding their ectoplasm. I declare, I don't know why you're always talking about ghosts. Oh, they're such lucky guys. They always keep cool. Even in the summer, the least little breeze goes right through them. Well, I'd rather be a human being. Real honest folks have a good way of keeping cool, too. They just make themselves a refreshing picture of Lipton's iced tea.  I guess it's that famous brisk flavor that makes all the difference. It's so rich and lively. Whether you drink it iced or hot, there's nothing that can beat Lipton's. The tea with the brisk flavor. And now a word of advice.  And what's more, friends? If all the corpses on this program were laid end to end, they'd be a lot more comfortable. Oh, by the way, this month's Inner Sanctum Mystery Novel is Puzzle for Wantons by Patrick Quentin. Yes, and next week's Inner Sanctum story directed by Hyman Brown and brought to you by Lipton Tea and Lipton Soup.  It's about a beautiful woman who marries a dead man. Now there's an unusual romance.  Well, of course, he's got second sight. He lost his first sight when he died, see? Now it's time to close the squeaking door until next Tuesday. So, good night. Good night. Pleasant, please. Even with a cold meal, most of us have a craving for one hot dish. Well, why not make that one hot dish Lipton's Noodle Soup?  And yet it's so easy to prepare. That's because Lipton's comes in an envelope. You just empty the contents of the envelope into boiling water and in no time at all. Soup's on just as quick and simple as that.  So, folks, don't forget Lipton's Noodle Soup. And don't forget to tune in next Tuesday night for another Inner Sanctum Mystery. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Good morning, everyone. It's great to see all of you here. We have got some very exciting speakers today. And I'm Mark Collier with the OpenStack Foundation. And I am really excited about today's speakers, because yesterday we heard from some of these titans of industry, Comcast, Best Buy, and Bloomberg. And people started to realize that OpenStack actually is mainstream now. We have mainstream users. And that's very exciting. It's a moment I think people have been wondering and waiting for for a while. And we finally arrived, but personally, I am still very excited by some of the interesting stuff going on outside of the mainstream. Some trailblazers out there that are doing some really interesting things with OpenStack that are not about building businesses. They're about solving really huge, massive problems. And some of the smartest people in the world are working on. And the fact that OpenStack plays a part in that is just super exciting to me. It's not all about making money. There are people, one of whom we're going to hear from in just a moment, who is actually trying to unlock the secrets of the universe using OpenStack. That's a pretty big goal. I personally hope that Randy can be the one that helps us figure out how to build a warp drive and get us out of the solar system. But I got all my physics from Star Trek the next generation, so I'm not sure if that's actually what he's working on, but I'd like to find out. So let's make sure we ask him that. And another speaker that I am very excited to hear from, who is unlocking all kinds of other secrets. Perhaps even some of y'all, I don't know. But I did put this disclaimer on here so that we don't all end up on a watch list. But if we do, we're all in this together, right? And so if you get, this was OK, I don't know what this is, but it's definitely not a data center. But we're going to be hearing from Nate from the NSA. And today's speakers, as I said, are far from the mainstream. And that's just fine by me. I think some of the greatest thinkers who've made the biggest breakthroughs in history were a little different to a different drummer. Very, very smart people. And we have an actual spy, I think, who's trying to track all the things. And of course, an actual scientist who's trying to figure out the meaning of life in the universe and thoughts that are so big I can't even imagine. So we're going to be hearing from Nathaniel Burton, who, if that's his real name, I'm assuming it's legit. But I am excited to welcome him up because he has a lot of courage. You don't hear a lot of people from the NSA coming forward and talking about what they're doing. But this is not a big surprise because I knew that Nate had a lot of courage when he actually built a open-stack cloud on cactus. So that was a big moment. So he'll tell you a lot more about that. But before we hear from Nate from the National Security Agency, we're going to hear from Randy Sobee, who's doing some really interesting cutting-edge research. Hopefully, by the end of his presentation, we'll have a warp drive that's working, I don't know. But we'll see what happens. So with that, I'd like to welcome up Randy. Thanks a lot. Thank you for inviting me today. I'm going to talk about clouds in high-energy physics. I thought I would first maybe make a definition or explain what high-energy physics is. I'll leave the cloud definition to this group. I'd rather not put that one up. What we do as particle physicists or high-energy physicists is study the fundamental particles of nature and their interactions. We use a variety of facilities. We use accelerators. The picture on the far left is the linear accelerator at Stanford University. I've been part of an experiment there for a number of years. The middle one is an underground laboratory in Northern Ontario in Suburban. Suburban, it's 8,000 feet underground, where we put detectors to look at particles from the sun. It's the Suburban neutrino observatory. I visited there. And then we have detectors in the space station, the alpha magnetic spectrometer. Some of this was in the news in the last week. I'm hoping to go there, but I'm not optimistic. With these facilities, we try to address a number of questions that are important for our understanding of the universe. The one that you may have heard most about, and I'll explain a little bit more as I go along, is the Higgs boson. We've discovered this particle. I'm on one of the Atlas experiment at CERN. And we see evidence for the Higgs boson, which is supposed to give the source of mass to all the particles that we know about. It's been coined the God particle. That's not our name, but it's sort of stuck in the media that way. And I'll go over a bit of the detail of this. We're also asking other questions. I mean, maybe you saw angels and demons about how we can make antimatter. We can make antimatter. But one of the questions we're wondering is why the universe today is only made of matter, and not matter and antimatter. We expect that the Big Bang, and we're both created equally. But why don't we see a galaxy of antimatter and a galaxy of matter, but we don't? We only see matter. So something has happened during the evolution of the universe, so that we only see matter in the world. Any other, the last question I'll just highlight is our understanding of the universe is actually pretty limited. This pie chart shows that atoms or matter is 5% of the universe. Dark matter is 24%, and dark energy is 71%. And dark just means we don't know what it is. We find this out from projects such as this WMAP satellite that measures the temperature of the universe. We can also measure it in astronomical data and other. But the bottom line is we don't understand what 95% of the universe is made of, which is kind of embarrassing. So we are, at least I work in these projects. And so we have astronomers use telescopes. In a sense of particle physics and these accelerators are basically big microscopes. So we've evolved from these simple instruments to more complex instruments. The astronomers have their telescopes in space. We have large detectors. This is the Atlas detector that I'm involved in during its construction at CERN. Our collaborations are now massive. The Atlas is 3,000 scientists. So these projects are decades long, large scale projects. I work at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This is in Geneva. I think it's the largest instrument in the planet. It's 27 kilometers in diameter, or circumference rather. And it's 100 meters underground. And so protons circulate in this ring one in one direction, one in the other, and we collide them in certain areas. It's basically a microscope, and we're probing distances of the order of 10 to the minus 20 meters. By going back in small distances, we're going back in time and studying the Big Bang. So it's sort of analogous to what the astronomers do. They look deep into space, and they go back in time. We look at small distances and go back in time. So since we're studying the same things in complementary ways. The Large Hadron Collider, as I say, is a tunnel. It's 27 kilometers. You need a transportation to get around. The blue beam pipe, the blue pipes, contain the magnets and two beam pipes for the protons to circulate opposite each other. It's also at 1.8 degrees Kelvin, so I think it's the biggest refrigerator in the world. At certain points along the ring, we have these detectors. So this is the Atlas detector. There is another large detector called CMS. And then there are two other specialized detectors as well. You can see the scale with the people at the bottom. It's 44 meters across, 25 meters high. It's basically a camera. I forget how many megapixels. So this is the picture looking down the proton beam line in 2005 as the Atlas detector was being constructed. So in a sense, the center is hollow right now, and they're sliding the pieces in. So it gives you the scale of the facility. So it's a fairly large facility, and it took probably between five to 10 years to construct. Today, we're recording data. We've just finished a period of data taking, and we're now in an upgrade period of two years, where there's no more beam for that time. So this is a picture of a proton-proton event. The protons are coming in and out of the page. The yellow lines are the charged particles. They bend one way or another depending on their charge, because there's a magnetic field. And the color boxes around represent the energy of it. So we collect roughly 200 of these per second. I'll explain a little bit more as we go along. Actually, I'll do it now. So the protons are colliding every 25 nanoseconds. So we get 40 million per second. The Atlas detector then selects 100,000 per second, and then we pass them to event filter computers to select 200 per second at 2 megabytes per event. So we're collecting 400 megabytes per second for roughly half the year. So this means we need a large computing system. What we've constructed over the last decade is called the WLCG computing grid, worldwide large Hadron Collider grid. And it's based on a hierarchical model where there's a large center at CERN, a tier 0, we call it. There are 10 tier 1s distributed around the world. The data from the detector comes to the tier 1 and then gets distributed to the 10 tier 1s in near real time, a few hours. And then there are 60 other what we call tier 2 sites that are also distributed around the world for creation of simulated data and analysis. At the moment, we're of the order of 140 petabytes of data. We have a private route at network for most of these facilities, all at 10 or 100 gig now. Now, last year, we found evidence for the Higgs, both Atlas and the CMS experiments. See evidence for Higgs-like particle. The little circular picture is the same one where I'm sort of cutting the view along the direction of the proton. And the other picture on the left is more of a three-dimensional one. It's where the candidate particle goes to four electron-like particles. It's either an electron or a muon. The muon is just a heavier version of an electron. If we, here's the only science plot you'll get. This is a frequency plot. So I'm plotting the mass of those four leptons as a function of its mass. So the number of candidates is in the vertical axis. The mass is on the bottom. And we see an excess of events at about 125 proton masses. The colored points are data. And the other histograms, or the colored plots, are the predictions of our simulation. And we would get the red and the purple is based on no Higgs. And the blue box is what we expect for the Higgs particle. So we see it in this channel. We see it in other channels. And we see it in two experiments. So I think we're pretty confident that it is.  So it was all across the world in this way. OK, so I'm going to change directions just for the last part of my talk. How are we using clouds in high-energy physics? One of our first uses was to help us preserve and archive high-energy physics data so that we can continue to use it in the future. We're trying to use clouds to take advantage of special computing resources that I also described that are attached to our detectors. Our common use is to help us simplify just the management of in-house resources. We've used commercial clouds to some extent for exceptional needs. And one of the projects that I'm interested in, and some of my group and colleagues are working on, is how can we use, if you want, a grid of clouds where we can utilize both high-energy physics, non-high-energy physics resources to meet some of our computing needs? So I mentioned the Slack accelerator before. There was a detector experiment there called Babar. It studied B quarks, B and the B bar. So that's why it's Babar. And we got to use Babar as long as we don't change the color or change the shape of the elephant. You see an event picture. It's a lower energy accelerator. So you see simpler pictures of events. It's, again, along the direction of the beam line. And this experiment stopped taking data in 2008. The problem we face is once the experiment ends, the funding stops. But we still want to analyze data. We still have graduate students looking at some of this data. We may want to look at it in five years. But we have nobody maintaining the system. The software will not be maintained beyond a scientific Linux 5, a Red Hat 5 operating system. So we need to maintain the software. The software will only run on an old operating system. And so we have to build what we call a long-term data access system. So it's the first experiment that's done this. It did it a few years ago. It's basically a static cloud. They just build the SL5 VMs. It just has access to the software and the data. And it's transparent to the users. And it's been in operation for a while. As I mentioned with the Atlas Trigger, we have these racks of processors that are used in real time to filter the data. But now we're down for two years. So we're converting these what we call HLT farms, high-level trigger to clouds. So we don't need these 50,000 cores. They'd sit idle if we didn't use them. So they're being converted to open-stack clouds. I think some of them are in operation today. And there's actually a talk today by Tony Perez at 11. So I encourage you to go see it. I won't say anymore. We're also using or converting our internal resources to clouds, either that they're transparent to the users or they appear as cloud resources. The Ibex cloud, Jan Vandeldic and Tim Bell are in the audience. And you can find out more about them. But that's one example of how we're starting to convert our facilities into cloud-based platforms. We've also used commercial resources in, let's say, a limited way with Amazon, Google, Rackspace, others. There have been a number of reports by the Star experiment at Brookhaven. There's the Bell experiment in Japan, and Atlas and others have used it. Typically, it's been used for exceptional demands where we don't have enough capacity to get enough data or process for a particular conference. And we tend to use it for low IO demands, say, generating simulated data. We face challenges using it. Particle physicists use X509 certificates for identity management, so we have to figure out different ways to do it. Network connectivity. For example, if I want to get to Amazon from Canada, I have to go over the commodity network, which is a pain. And the costs are a little bit higher than our private resources. So we're using it for exceptional resources or exceptional needs. The area where I have a bit of interest in is trying to take advantage of our distributed computing infrastructure. Because particle physics is a global collaboration, everyone has their resources, and we would like to use them in some kind of seamless way. We have built a grid. It's working, but I think one of the ideas maybe is to try and use it as a grid of clouds. It's also been coined as sky computing by Kate Keehe, Chicago. So what we're trying to do is use both dedicated and non-dedicated high energy physics resources. We want to use them independent of the cloud type. We want to remove any application dependence from the actual site, but also support multiple projects as I'll show you in a minute. I just want to show you a very simple workflow for what we're doing. And then you can see how some of my requests, maybe for open stack development, would be useful. So we have a system where a user submits a batch job to HT Condor. We have these clouds out there, but we have a customized service, what we call Cloud Scheduler. So this Cloud Scheduler, the user submits a job. The Cloud Scheduler discovers the job. The Cloud Scheduler then boots a virtual machine on one of the clouds. That VM registers itself with Condor, and then the job gets dispatched to that VM. So that's how we're running a cloud of, I think, 10 or 12 distributed clouds right now. We use a combination of Nimbus clouds, open stack clouds, and some commercial cloud. The VM, for some of them, are pulled in from a remote repository. The data is also remote as well. For open stack clouds, we upload it. So we're using it for Atlas in production. We're also using it in the Canadian astronomical community. They use it for user analysis. We have a variety of clouds. We've had ties with the Nimbus group for a number of years, but that's proved to be a fruitful collaboration. So we have clouds that we have used in Victoria, Ottawa, and Future Grid in Chicago, Future Grid in San Diego. We also in Florida. In terms of open stack, we've used Melbourne Nectar clouds, a certain Ibex cloud. There's two Canary clouds that we brought online last week, and we're starting to talk with the Oxford people. So we've been in operation for about a year and a half. Astronomies run maybe 500,000. We're over 300,000 jobs now using 10 clouds. Yesterday, we were running 1,000 simultaneous jobs. I mean, it's not large, but we're just starting to get going now. And their jobs are roughly 12 hours, and they run. And they're all submitted. At least the Atlas jobs are submitted from CERN. We can, in principle, use Amazon and Google as well. So this just shows this week. These are just the number of virtual machines that we boot up as a function of the day of the week. Each color is a different cloud. Some clouds go up and down, depending on their internal needs. But generally, we're running about 100 to 150 whole node VMs as the order of 1,000 jobs. And as I say, we've at least nine clouds there and over three continents. So it seems to work reasonably well. And we're hoping to scale it up further. So I guess I'm a particle physicist that's interested in computing. At least I see myself and my team as integrators rather than developers of cloud technology. And what we would like to see that would help our life is the following, at least these key things, is common authentication, maybe a centralized VM image store that we could download from rather than having to upload to every cloud, maybe consistent metadata and don't use Nova as your cloud name. So there's some things you could help simplify us, simplify our lives for us. OK, so I'm reaching the end. So I just want to summarize the goal of high energy physicists to understand the universe. We believe we've discovered the Higgs. The next step in the LHC is to search for the particle that's the source of dark matter. Maybe we'll understand the difference between matter and antimatter with our studies. We do have an impact on society. It's always useful to remind you that the World Wide Web was developed by particle physicists at CERN. The first two sites were CERN and Slack. There are now more accelerators and hospitals for imaging and cancer treatment. Building these large instruments generates technology development. I mean, just look at the cryogenics involved with the LHC. And we're training highly qualified people. In terms of computing, we have large distributed systems. Initially, grid. Now we're looking more towards cloud. We have a very big global network that consumes a lot of the bandwidth. We're trying to use the novel computing technologies that this community is developing for. So that's all I have to say. The clouds are a collaborative endeavor. And many people have helped us in our work. And I need to acknowledge them. If you want to contact me, this is my email. I'm around for today. And that's our website. Thank you. Thank you.


it went like that start finishing you're on the range okay well you could just eat your eight that one at the far end okay she might have to put one down I didn't know
