Hello friends welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and as always for anyone new To the channel. My name is Lee also known as Osiris today We are here kicking off week three against Joe with his New York oblivion and it is obviously in the the x9 draft League we've had two weeks already two great games one against poker Alex one against June fury and We are 1-1 currently going into this week. So we're literally just setting up the match now I've done the analysis so you can check out the team build from my perspective have a look at Joe's team as well And obviously make sure to check out Joe's side of the battle as well You know one of the beauties about these draft leagues is you get two kind of perspectives you get one from this side Obviously that you're watching right now, and then you get to go and have a look and check out Joe's Perspective as well and also if you're not subscribed to Joe make sure you do check out his channel Obviously streams a lot as well, but his content is like is a phenomenal He's amazing team builder amazing player and you know, he's got one of those very bright futures in VG And in particular, you know, he's an amazing player. So definitely check out his stuff It's going to be beneficial for all of your new VG players and competitive players that want to get into it And yeah, go and do that all these all these stuff all your socials everything will be linked down in the description below As well as everyone else from the draft League if you want to check out some of the other teams in the draft League We obviously did a lot of their coverage in that first week when we went through all of the teams briefly And but hopefully as the week's gone We're gonna bump into more and more of these fucking in and I gotta give a big shout out to my my good friend Bebham who has helped me with the team this week He's given me some of these special shiny Pokemon, which is amazing And so he's helped me put the team together this week Joe selected the rules and we're right in so what have we got? We've got the immune to see incident or obviously bravery yet We kind of expected the Hydra again the giggle it's there with the trick room from the Gotha Rita All right, no tap a lele. I'm sad to see that because now the zoom rail can't do what it wants to do And the intimidate a little bit more threatening and okay, so We've got to be careful because the obviously the goth the goth Rita can set up the the trick room for the That's gonna be a little bit scary, right? And the bravery is gonna be a bit scary as well. Of course What are we gonna do? What are we gonna lead because we could go persimmon persimmons pretty good here But the only thing that would really make the persimmon Not so good is that that bravery coming in and we could lead persimmon Jolteon Of course, that's nice option We could lead a zoom rail Jolteon and then keep the persimmon maybe in the back for later on Because I feel like a rounded Pairing like as a lead does super well we'll go persimmon in the back because I think it does well as a late game on and Then do we bring venu or riperia? It's hard it's hard it's difficult I think let's bring venu because I feel like venu could could be good if we can just like if we get ourselves into that position Where we're like alright venu is gonna be our maximum late game We've got the opportunity to get the sun up with Jolteon. Let's just go for it Get that sun up and let venus soldiers rip through everything other than the high dragon, but We got we got we got we got a zoomer all right. We got a zoomer all high dragon and moongus Here we go. We've got we've got we've got we has to do this. Okay, um Relying on sap sipper ignore and rage powder, which it should do right. We're gonna find out We're gonna find out right now. We're gonna find out right now. I don't know if it will I mean to grass type moves. So we I mean we should do and soul we go after the high dragon and Do we attack with I mean we could potentially go? Not really got anything here. We could switch into persimmon Or venus all I Just worry about max air straight you're gonna max air stream into Jolteon probably not right and even if you do Venus all's got the copper berry. We don't necessarily need Don't necessarily need This son up right now is what I'm trying to say and I'm just hoping like oh, I just don't know I just don't know this mechanic if we if we get the Okay, well, this is fine in general coming in persimmon would have been the better shout there, of course But we know the hydrogon's not scoffed by the fact that Jolteon switched out before and Okay, play rough into insin or doing a decent enough Trunk of damage And there's a spoil into Venus all okay, so we keep that the safety goggles kind of is a surprise surprise But we all locked into player rough with a zoomer all so it's not ideal and I Think we get Jolteon onto the field and I think we just protect Because then we got Jolteon on the field We get the sun up and Venus all is in a phenomenal spot to start getting some damage onto the board So Jolteon the chipper And in cinema going back out The big bird coming in okay. Wow. This is all right if we see a spore into Jolteon Not ideal, but not the worst Because then it reveals okay, just a giga drain. That's fine. We should have stayed in we got that sub sipper boost boost boost Now we're gonna see rage powder doing max Jolteon. I think we go rise in voltage and I think we go We could go sunny day.  I think what we could potentially do is go Can we max? Can we max? Yeah, we'll max And I think we stay in and I think we sludge bomb as well Yeah, let's do that. Let's max Jolteon. Let's go all in on the Jolteon. No The incident was coming in well, it's gonna take a max lightning right and then we get the the and a sludge bomb And we're gonna get our terrain up. So we're not really worried about the spore We're not worried about the rage powder We're gonna get some good damage onto the incineroar, which is always good But we're pulling the trigger now with the Jolteon which I don't honestly I don't mind doing I don't mind doing this because I think the Jolteon the incineroar is gonna be in a really tough spot this next turn Because the rise in voltage is gonna have that that terrain boost and now we don't need to worry about the Obviously, we don't need to worry about The spore the spore the spore the rage powder or anything like that and Sludge bomb this might take the incineroar out Okay, spore Safety goggles safety goggles revealed revealed now that the the incineroar gonna go down And the sludge bomb we can go into a moongus the moongus is not really doing anything here You know, it's like it's literally doing nothing the incineroar is gonna be able to potentially Go for I think we switch out venus or now get a zoomer all onto the field and We We can start that The fake tears stuff, especially if the high dragon comes in or we can just pressure the the high dragon with with a play rough Because the fake out we kind of want to preserve venus off we can and then we'll get rid of the incineroar Which is always gonna be useful And then we'll see what we can do against this high dragon Big a drain coming out Jolt I'm taking that like a champ We got one more max turn left and imagine. I don't know like does the bravery come in? Yeah big bird Probably protects though, right? Probably protects. I think we lock in the fake tears go fake tears into the bravery and then go max lightning onto it as well And hope we don't see a rage powder and hope we see like a giga drain into the zoomer all and then I'm hoping like a terrain boosted Minus two bravery drops to Jolteons Rise and voltage max rise and voltage attack, which it should do if we pick this up then I think we've got the game So let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Is it gonna be that clean cut? No, it's oh, come on saps up saps a bit. Gotta ignore it. Gotta ignore it. Please ignore it. Please ignore it Please ignore it Please ignore. I don't know if it does No, it doesn't ignore. Ah, okay at least we know for next turn But this will ignore and we'll get this max lightning off and do some fat damage now The problem is they're gonna get an airstream off which puts us in a terrible spot And yeah, we kind of need to keep oh Rumor for another turn Do we just let a zoomer all go down now and get the Sun up Okay, can only attack one thing and he's gonna attack me. Does he attack the Jolteon potentially? Let's go into Vino Because we've got the coba berry there. It kind of it kind of helps us out a bit We need to get through these max turns and I don't know what the bravery's got because it could potentially have like Rockfall Knuckle as well, which is not gonna be ideal Let's see where it goes as you've gone after the zoom rail But I think the zoom rail you kind of know that scarf now, so it's it's a bit more telling And goes airstream again Into Jolteon this time. Okay We take that we take that I mean it might be worth sacking might be worth sacking the the Yeah, the giga drink on that slot it might be worth sacking Do we suck The zoomer all maybe Yeah, cuz pessimism can deal with high dragon And among us to to to be fair do we just protect Venus all? Yeah, I think we just protect Venus all And then the max turns are done then and then we don't need to worry too much I could see max knuckle coming out here into Jolteon though gives him that plus Attack, but Jolteon quite important to us to deal with that bravery. We'll see the safety goggles definitely Makes that a moongus really not as effective It was the big thing that we kind of identified though and team preview, you know so and At least the coba berry here gonna help us out a bit if he attacks into venu She doesn't look like he's gonna he's gonna go after that Yeah, the Jolteon which makes a lot more sense now He still has a brave bird which can do a considerable amount of damage But a sludge bomb should be enough to get that bravery from the range that it's at now So out of the two We should be we should be alright, but you've got it Yeah, I think we double into bravery and the electric train is it still up. I don't know if it is Maybe not No, the electric trains gone. I think I think The rising voltage should still get it, you know Yeah, and I imagine the sludge bomb with the recall damage is gonna take it's gonna get it Yeah, the electric train's gone you can rise in voltage sludge bomb and Then we good We just got to remove the bravery and then pessimion can kind of win this game. Hopefully so there's a brave bird Where we gone into Venus all that's ideal. That's what we want. That's what we want. Okay Well, is it? Yeah, it's kind of what we want Rise in voltage we'll be able to pick up the knockout onto the bird The giga drain won't be enough and the sludge bomb will redirect on to that a moongus Which is perfect and then what we can potentially do as well is set The Sun with with Jolteon if we want so we can get a sludge bomb into the high dragon and then Like just get some damage onto the high dragon before That does some fat damages crit. No, wow That does way more damage than what I thought. It's not very bulky moongus Um, okay. Yeah, so we go sunny day and then we go protect And then we can get at least rid of the a moongus with Venus all and then If Jolteon goes down here, which is fine. Persimmon comes in and can just nuke the the the high dragon Yeah, I don't mind them doubling up. Oh the moongus has got like all the speed boosts of course So, yeah, it's the fastest fastest thing on the field Other than our Jolteon. There's a sunny day. That's what we want to see and then dark pulse it's into the Venus or okay, so Yeah, I mean could switch Jolteon out. I don't really feel like it's super necessary I think we sludge bomb into a moongus. Yeah, we sludge bomb into a moongus rising voltage into into a dragon Sludge bomb into the moongus Just if the moongus protects. Yeah, that's the that's the frustrating thing here But again, it's solo health that an aqua backs will be able to take it down Yeah, maybe that's why we should have sludge bombed into the high dragon because now it's gonna be able to take down Venus or unless it goes after the The Jolteon which wouldn't really make much sense. You want to get rid of the fasting on the field But but simian can come in here now And go for an acrobatics or a knockoff into the moongus at least then we'd be able to find out the item Yeah, we go for the double up we go Okay, we go Shadowball and knockoff and see the item on this a moongus Yeah, that should that that combo should be enough Sport of course, it's faster and we can't we can't protect. We need to kind of wake up I forget about this moongus being so fast. What am I doing? Okay, is it shadowball enough to get the moongus? I don't think it will be oh it is. Okay Jolteon Doing doing doing work Pseumian staying asleep not ideal but faster than the the high dragon Which would be able to take down the Jolteon now and then a close combat is all we need close combat as all we need And then we've got this first game wrapped up, which is great. So It all depends on the sleep turns and of course what hydragan has Attacking wise because it could have something like flamethrower, which is gonna actually benefit from the Sun going up now But we wake up. Okay, the one-turn wake and that that makes things a lot easier for us. So I I Mean we got our selection pretty right But Jolteon made it very difficult for us to kind of close down Close that much of there was definitely points there where I was like, are we gonna be able to do this? But but we were able to unfortunately didn't get to see any items on the moongus I don't believe anyway. So if we did I missed them. Let me know down in the comment section below But we are one up. Hopefully we can take Another Win here and then close it up. That would be amazing But I don't know if we're gonna be able to because Joe's gonna a hundred percent Adjust in this game going forward. So I Imagine we'll probably see maybe something like gigalith come in We're gonna see the hydragan again, I mean the thing is like the zoom rail Causes a lot of issues, right? I think you're gonna want the bravery as a lead But I don't know if you can you're gonna be able to lead the bravery Think we lead the same again. Okay. I think we lead the same again And I think we got Venus so and pessimium. I think we've got the same again I think it worked so well against what he's brought I Think we got the same lead. I just I don't really see I mean he's got fake out support, right? You can stop the zoom rail doing stuff Tim one, but I don't think Max airstreams gonna be the max airstreams these way to kind of to kind of Get ahead in this game, of course And like for that reason you could maybe say well, should we bring right period to this game because then right period at least can come in And it can it can soak up those airstreams a lot better than everything else But I mean at the same time like Jolteon is gonna be able to take these max airstreams pretty well if it like if It's maxed itself. It's gonna be able to take them a lot better, you know And like I suspected maybe in the now the analysis like bravery is probably got The lumbary so burning it is not really an issue and I don't know why I'm talking about it I'm just jabbering at this point. I'm kind of trying to keep my nerves because I feel like one of the cus Potentially gone ahead. It's first time in this draft league, which would be really nice Bravery and Gotha Rita makes a lot of sense because you've got that that fake-out pressure To stop the zoom rail, but you don't have a way to stop the Jolteon although you can set You can set the trick room up, which is a little bit Worrying and we can't switch anything out here. We can't so we can fake tears and just go for The max max lightning that is that is what we can do. I mean the other thing to consider as well Like Gotha Rita gets It gets a lot of switch which you know if you've got access to that move It's like I think about a lot in my team building, you know and putting teams together and thinking could we squeeze ally switch on? You've got to make the use of it in things like the draft league brave. We're gonna switch out Hydra again coming in big tears gonna definitely help, you know But I think we're probably gonna see The trick room and imagine but if we see fake out and that's fine But I got a max I got a max I got a max the Jolteon it protects us against it protects us against hypnosis There could be an option coming out from this this Gotha Rita, which we just don't want to have to contend with you know And there's a fake out which is fine, which is fine It means the trick rooms aren't going up this turn, which is which is good and it means that we've got the soak the next turn which we can go for and Really get those style points kind of going okay, so we're gonna soak We are not going big tears They are going to go soak because we now have as the terrain up on the field and I don't know why I'm doing this accent But I feel like we're gonna get like for once when you put like ideas down You get the chance to put these into to practice. What's coming in? Please be the gig with arts in general Okay, well, we're gonna turn this this bad boy and turn this bad boy into a water type and We should have gone for the Gotha Rita to be honest to be honest Would just protect so it just wants to keep us trapped in here, but we can say Uncategorically Goodbye to incineroar right we can say uncategorically. It's going to Go away. It's not gonna have that fake out pressure anymore gone to this next turn there we go and we got one turn left where we can go for another soak and Rise and voltage into either the high dragon or the bravery now if the the bravery comes in It is gonna be the high dragon. It goes for protect. I think I think it goes protect. I think it goes protect here. I Think it goes protect. I think we go after the Gotha Rita. It frees up a little bit of room as well for us, doesn't it? I just worry about the high dragon if it yeah, it's got the life hope It's got protect we go after Gotha Rita. You've got to preserve you've got to preserve the high dragon We go soak into the Gotha Rita. It's just protected. We know we can get that slot and then it's two versus four Still got to worry about the bravery But the the big worry here. I think I've got as a high dragon maxing gone max Quake into Jolteon and with the life orb. I mean we are bulky, right? So we should be able to take it but at the same time It's kind of it's kind of tricky Because it's gonna hit like a truck No protect no protect we don't like we don't like saying that we don't like saying that we want to say that protect The Gotha Rita gone down and I mean we got the choice of the sock the next turn All right, so we get rid of the Gotha Rita Get rid of that trick room straight potentially and then now Earth power yeah, not ideal but into a zoom rail wants to remove the zoom rail from the field That's the big thing. I think for for Joe now because I think you want to airstream And and remove that a zoom rail because it's such a pain. It's such a pain to deal with Do we go after We don't need to soak the bravery, but we could soak the high dragon And just go rising voltage into the bravery Unless you see the bravery protect protect No, it's gonna go big bird big birds coming out big bird Faster than everything Everything this is where the sleep powder may be would have come in useful But again, it comes back to the point that I believe that there's a lumbary there on that bravery Just got to hope that the rising voltage is enough. I don't think it will be The hydro again protects. So yeah, I want to avoid that sock. Yeah, I want to avoid that Yeah, there's no point of soaking. Well, there is a point We could have probably suck the bravery to to get rid of the wow. It does literally nothing Does literally nothing I mean we take that pretty well But now he's got the kind of the the pick what he wants to go for Not really got we not got the switches. This is why I was saying like my period would have been a good a good option Um We could turn bravery into water type it would make it easier But I think you go. I think you have to go Airstream into zoom where all this turn I think you have to We'll go water type into bravery We'll switch out into venu because I can see an airstream in an earth bar coming out Into the jolteon slot and I don't think we necessarily need venus or I think persimmon's more important to us in this one And we need to get through these Yeah, yeah, there's the earth power and now the airstream into zoom world Yeah, we need to try and stall out these these max turns We've got one more to go and it's going to be all about the persimmon as well, you know Right. Well, let's see what we can do In these final turns if we can turn this around the high dragon I don't know if we're going to be able to I think just let this end game up like very well Because it's just earth power airstream That's all we got And then it comes down to persimmon who probably will go down to We will go down. Yeah 100 percent. We'll go down to a unless unless unless Okay, maybe this might work If you go earth power into jolteon It's just so risky, right? It's so risky because if you go to airstream into jolteon, then we're kind of done And we protect venu. I think you go after venu here with the airstream. I think I just hope this doesn't back this doesn't backfire on us because this will if we lose persimmon here We're done. The match is over So we've got to hope that we see earth power persimmon airstream venu Earth power persimmon Yep, which you know, we don't take super well, but we take Uh, yeah, okay. That's good. Now. Hopefully venu can take this It should do behind the protect with the cobra berry should do Yeah, and now we kind of split attention slightly because venu might be able to take a dark pulse Maybe I don't know But it what we need to try and do is get one attack into that bravery Or is this jolteon got enough health to kind of take Because the other option is going after the the high dragon with persimmon, but I don't think we're going to be able to do that No, there's no way There's no way I think I don't think we can kind of come back from this spot. I really don't um I think we need to switch jolteon in okay, and I think what we need to try and do is have venus or survive The dark pulse sludge bomb into the hydra again and hope the bravery goes after that persimmon And just goes after the jolteon instead um We need this to survive need this to survive Now we can't take it now. We've lost we've lost we've lost the life orb just ticks it over a little bit too much Yeah, and now the brave bird brave bird unless jolteon survives this of course, I don't think it will though No, the bravery is just too strong. This is the position. This is where the right period would have been a little bit better Just to take those airstreams But I think we need to re-evaluate how we're approaching this match because these airstreams have just kind of Absolutely crushed our game plan. So fair fair play to joe, you know um We'll let him take the kill We'll try and get it on the bravery, but I do think it's gonna happen. I think persimmon's gonna drop Yeah, hmm Okay, maybe it's time Wow, the only speed control we've got is persimmon, right? We've got airstream and persimmon But it means max and persimmon and not and not jolteon And there's the earth power Here comes that big big bird Yeah, and that's it. Okay. Well, we really need to evaluate this this turn round I still think the jolteon is zoomer works really well, but late game It's not working against the bravery which can come in and just airstream everything and venu Not really Not really worth it in that in that endgame there, you know um And especially I think if jord maybe went with faker maxed Bravery turn one although it's kind of risky with the jolteon still in the field and you know Um and potential max there. I think you played it perfectly to be honest. I can't I can't really Can't really take it away, but it ties it up one one. We're going into game three now Hopefully come on. We've got to do this got to do this. We've just got to think about this a bit more methodically right This is where trick room would have been really useful on the mimic cool to get around that um the airstream the airstream abuse Right well All right, period. I'm gonna struggle against that that high dragon We got steel spikes. We do have steel spikes on persimmon. It could be an option could be an option Could be a good option to be honest What's the one thing that's going to give the persimmon a hard time it's going to be the the um The bravery really Hmm Okay Okay, let's go jolteon Let's go persimmon because we can max steel spike and then it doesn't really matter about At least the defenses then are going to be a lot better Get jolteon boosted up. Maybe a zoomerill. I think zoomerill makes a lot of sense It just works so well against pretty much most stuff And then do we want venu or do we want riparia? Like or do we want mimic you? I just think if we see gigalith in this match, it could get a bit trickier whereas venu can come in I think we bring the venu I think we bring the venu still because I still think that combination with the sunny day can work out pretty well um Maybe maxing venu is not a bad play, you know, we could sunny day switch into venu turn one Depending on what comes out, you know If the bravery is there as lead it makes it very difficult It's a moongus and high dragon. Okay Makes me want to do the the sunny day play though although Yeah, I mean we could sunny day. I just feel like if we do that we lose we lose jolteon Um max air stream is going to be a bit of a pain But we've also got the play where we can just go uh protect and we can just go into zoomerill here Uh, or we could go into venus all but I do worry. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm Yeah, let's go into venu. Let's go into venu because we've got the we got the possibility of maxing venu here, you know If we want and we keep jolteon on the field the only issue here would be max max quake Into jolteon it wouldn't be like it wouldn't be favorable. Let's just say that Yeah max quake coming out big fat max quake And sport I would imagine into persimmon Which makes it a little bit tougher This is where sleep powder would have been really useful on venus all But at the same time It's done is done What's done is done and we can only work around that and at least we know the bravery is not going to be the pokemon that max is here Which makes things so much easier for us, right? Um, and at this point, honestly, we could probably get persimmon back in Go max air streams with persimmon I kind of want to switch into zoomerill now though rather than let jolteon go down Maybe max venus or go max sludge max sludge bomb We sack jolteon to do it. It's very risky doing it because the bravery is blatantly in the back um Here we get zoomerill into the field and I think Max ooze into Hydragan Yeah We get that special attack boost and then we go for the max vine lash After that, you got to worry about incineroar as well. Incineroar is always a pokemon that can come in and cause all sorts of issues But what have we seen from hydragan? We've seen what have we seen? Max quick dark pulse We don't know what that last move is Because you've got protect But venu to the rescue Come on venu you can do this Right big big boy venu the goat The goat the channel mascot it has to be said the channel mascot The goat of vgc has arrived hit the field. Let's go get this max ooze right max darkness coming out Oh, there's so much damage. There's so much damage. There's so much damage and reducing that special tech A special defense just ignore me special defense. There's so much damage hydragan is a monster The monster is a three-headed monster. Shouldn't even be allowed. It's an abomination Um Okay The rage powder as well kind of doesn't doesn't help too much sap sipper. Okay. I get that that that defense boost That's what we want. Okay Right. Well Do we do we now switch back into jolte on to get the sun up the next turn and then go for One last ride with venu and get the residual damage chip It's an option I just worry that you go max quick.  You could go max quick boost special defense, of course But a player rough is no good here because we just get rage powdered Let's try it. Let's try it. Let's try it. Let's try it max guard because we should take a dark pulse maxed And then we're gonna g max vine lash off, which is what we want, right? Yeah, there's a rage powder max darkness into venus or Or maybe max quick into the zoomer all that does quite a bit of damage It's quite a bit. No, that's a crit. Okay max darkness Into venu. Okay. That's fine. Okay.  Here we go vine lash Now this could be the opportunity that we need where we switch into jolte on now. I think And we go max vine lash because I don't see you going for anything other than a dark pulse into the venus All right, and I think we take it from this from our health at the minute even though one minus one I still think we take it max hydragan protects like we thought it probably would right So that's fine. It starts that residual chip. That's all we want Then we can get the sun up the next turn and we can sludge bomb the amungus Which we know will take it down set ourselves up into a good position The problem is I think the dark pulse will take hydragan down Take venus or down from the from the range that we're at right now Giggering not ideal um Do we go after the hydragan actually with a sludge bomb because I think a sludge bomb probably gets it, you know I think a sludge bomb maybe gets it I could confident plus one sludge bomb. Are they on plus one? They are plus one Shbedo, I don't know. I think what we do is sack sunny day in sack Sack jolte on right And then we get a zoom roll back onto the field, which is what we want really Protect venus all this turn get the sun up And then we can go for a moonga sludge bomb play rough hydragan and then we're in a great spot Yeah, that's what we want to see. That's what we want to see that's ideal. Okay, that's perfect. That's perfect Perfect right there. Now we get the zoomer on to the field Yeah, and it's definitely in it's definitely in the range of a play rough now 100 100% no doubt about it We could probably even get persimmon onto the field now and just go close combat and it kind of checks an incinero switching And also if bravery comes onto the field, it it does better against that. I think persimmon's just a better option Oh, no because we're not faster than it. No, it means that we've got a sludge bomb and then Okay, we've messed this up a little bit, but this stops the incinero coming onto the field now. Okay, so We switch into zoom roll and then we sludge bomb hydragan Unless it protects and then they go spore into a moonga Yeah, it would have been better it would have been better to bring in a zoom roll And then we check the hydragan because we outspeed it rather than ignoring the fact that we don't with persimmon How do we from earlier games? We may do I don't know. Okay. Well regardless we get it Do we see a gigadron or a spore into that zoom rail spore? Okay, get that sapsip a boost which is always good for the attack boost anyway Um, we can get rid of the moongas when we want And depending on what comes in like the bravery it's gonna have to take a double up. Okay incinero coming in which is fine Now we get now. Oh, we can't we can't get persimmon on the field until We can get rid of this this a moongas. So I think what we'll do is Hmm I think we just play rough Oh, we could fake tears Now I think we just play rough the incinero Oh, we could fake tears Just I want to just get rid of the the moongas. I just worry Okay, we'll go for play rough and we'll go for a sludge bomb into the moongas that should remove it from the the carcass that we had Probably won actually And the carcass that we had before because there's plus one special offense. Okay Well a play rough and a sludge bomb will be enough Uh an earth power that the incinero is going to be able to remove the venus all this time around Uh play rough not going to be quite enough, but oh no, we're near enough. No, we're near enough Is that crit before was the big thing, but it's in I think Okay, where you going after the no after the venus? Yeah makes sense Uh, okay Persimmon will be able to get it with an acrobatics And this chip damage onto the incinero is like super super useful But the issue is is going to be the bravery that comes in. I think is the last pokemon Probably will be able to Yeah, play rough. It's not going to be enough steam roller would have been better Yeah, because we like incinero gets a free turn here Which is not ideal and a fly blitz in the sun onto persimmon. Are we going to be able to take it? Possibly not We've got acrobatics. It should be enough. I mean knockoffs probably a better option Just if the moonga's protects here, that's the that's the big that's the big issue Which it doesn't oh and they play rough misses acrobatics. Hopefully is enough Just yeah, okay Fly blitz into persimmon Not ideal, but persimmon. Okay parting shot. Oh And then the fake out brave bird into persimmon. Yeah That's it. I think I think yeah the parting shot didn't see it coming Ah the parting shot Okay, brave bird. Here we go. I think we lose this now. I honestly.  Where is the fake out coming?  I think And persimmon is the is the fake out target because of the defiant because you're going to boost us So you just fake out brave bird Yeah, the cobra berry would have been better on persimmon But does he know where salt vests yet? Does he know that we're salt vests? Maybe not does he predict to protect there potentially because he doesn't I don't think he knows where salt vests But he must he must do right he must do And you're not really worried about the zoom reel like one little bit like one little bit Close combat into the bravery. I think that's all we can do like the the active faker coming in Is is is more than enough and the brave bird will be enough Clear off hits. Yeah, it's just not doing enough damage And the brave bird if we survive this somehow I think we can still maybe take it But yeah, no no no way no way. I don't even think the crit mattered there. I really don't Ah I'm a little bit. I'm a little bit sad because I feel like Yeah, the team all the ideas kind of worked well. I think just the execution of them Like we just let it kind of slip and against the player of like Joe's caliber It's not it's not something you can do, you know You need to be able to Lock the game down. I think like in game one that we did, you know, yeah, just the the intimidates Um, just too much here brave bird gonna take us below 50 And maybe even another parting shot Yeah, another parting shot So we need a crit onto the bravery right now and then we need to like crit crit crit crit crit crit crit that incinerole Over and over and over again until it just goes away and I don't know if we can come on a zoom roll If you ever gonna get a crit nah no no crit and then the brave bird just gonna finish it And we will say well played There we go We are one two All hope is not lost right all hope is not lost a massive massive big props to Joe as well for pulling that one out And a really good game. That was a really enjoyable one. You know, I can't have any I am a little bit sad because I always want to come out winning, you know We've got to try and win this draft league But at the same time, uh, you got to say it was a very fun set It was a fun set from start to finish for sure We got to play around with all our texts and stuff like that So and they nearly came off but um, unfortunately the big bird was just too much of an issue And I think the issue in that game three was letting jolly on go down when we did like getting the sun up really You know, it did put us in a good spot, but again It probably wasn't necessary I think it probably would have been better at that point switching in a zoom role And maybe preserving jolly on for an end game knowing knowing for a fact that that bravery is in the back And then we got a good win against it when it comes in And unfortunately we didn't do that. So we can't really complain But like I say go check out joe's side of the battle for over on his channel I'll be all linked down below in the description. Let me know what your thoughts are on today's battle And the team in general and if you've enjoyed it because that's the big thing So thank you so much for tuning in friends Have a great rest of your day and I will catch you all for another episode on the channel very soon So until then take care and bye bye you


Which frequently in this industry is an engineer as opposed to kind of a classic, you know, raised floor IT person like we might think about. That's just risk. You know, I've got to, I got to make the bet that these things will all hang together and work. And so what we're coming in and doing with converged infrastructure for the media space is saying we'll take the risk. You know, we've tested it end to end and some of the parts are ours and there are some, you know, things that are from partners. Well, in any case, we're going to test it. We're going to give you a reference architecture. It's basically a proven solution for play out, for file editing, for a variety of other workflows. So I think that's kind of the next wave of converged infrastructure, is going beyond the infrastructure to application-specific solutions. And it's all about taking the risk out. I just saw a tweet come across my dashboard here that you're going to be doing a session with Mike Lynch, Dr. Mike Lynch. Dr. Mike Lynch. Who is the CEO of Autonomy now, part of HP. Obviously information is a big part of his business. Storage is yours. What are you guys talking about? Well, I think we have about two hours there and my goal is to present for like five minutes and get out of the way because I've seen his presentation and it's pretty whiz bang. I mean, they've got some, a very cool set of demos with the Erasmus technology and some of the other technologies that we have and how they play in this space in particular. So. Have you seen his pitch? I have, yeah. What is content with meaning mean? Compute with meaning. Well, you know, I think. Compute with meaning? The best I can articulate it is, you know, what Autonomy has is they've got a platform underneath a whole bunch of different industry solutions, right? So they do everything from backup to archive, content management, you know, media file asset management. They have like 40 different applications. They have one common thing underneath it and it's called IDLE. And IDLE is the brainchild of Dr. Mike Lynch. I mean, this is the core of the intellectual property they built starting in university up until today. And they're taking things even like Data Protector which is the HP backup software. Now that's going to run on top of IDLE. So that's the content management engine. It captures everything about all the data that's there and allows you to get information value out of it. And what does that sound like? Big data, right? Yeah, right. I've actually said IDLE is the hammer and every opportunity is the nail. And that's how Autonomy has been very successful. So it's a great thing for us because it gets us, you know, we've got the box business but we also have, you know, a deeper connection with the application and the workflow if we're bringing in the autonomy technology. Any other vibes you can share with the audience out there in terms of what you're seeing at the shows? It doesn't have to be an HP perspective. It could be your personal perspective as you kind of walk the hallways and talk to folks. Well, you know, for me, I have to say that, you know, we do a lot of events. I go to too many events.  This one is for me, it's an R&D event in effect because it's an opportunity to test out a lot of things that, and again, I have a core belief proven over time that the things that we see in 2012 in high performance computing and media and entertainment, we're going to be doing that three years from now in general purpose computing. So it's a learning exercise for us more than anything else. And I've learned a ton just a couple of days. Well, how about the whole data reduction, storage efficiency trend? Again, we know it well in the, you know, the mainstream commercial space. What's happening here? I mean, you guys have announced a lot of new systems around, you know, store wants and data deduplication everywhere is sort of your theme. How is it playing in this world? You know, that's interesting. I would tell you that we have probably not gotten as far in this space with some of the concepts around deduplication as we have in kind of the backup space, but again, that's starting to happen. You know, we're starting to see folks say, look, with the sheer volume of information that we have, we've got to find ways to kind of overall reduce. And, you know, again, there are some unique things happening in tape in this business. And so we're seeing a lot of interest in something called LTFS, which is a, you know, it's an open source technology that HP was involved with bringing to market.  So we're looking to combine data reduction, compression technology together with that LTFS file system layer and do some unique things for this space. So again, I think there's things you learn here. There's things that are different. There's an awful lot of it that if we can get that right, the ability to give you very low cost, huge volume of data that's transparent, and it's not dealing with all those tapes anymore, it's transparent, that has applicability in the cloud. It has applicability in many, many places in the general purpose business. So again, I think about it in terms of how can we use these guys that are pushing the envelope in kind of all respects and learn from it. And that's kind of what we're doing here this week. Yeah, we were talking about this at the top of the show. Again, the whole tape phenomenon. And you know, there's so many operations in the media entertainment business that need to keep so many versions. And tape is still really inexpensive. And so, you know, where you have those processes and it's like we had with data dedupe in the mainstream backup market, that got disrupted, but it hasn't happened yet here. And maybe there are other opportunities there. Well, I think it's, you know, again, if you think about what's happening, it's not about the tape. It's about the fact that you've got LTDFS on top of it. You've got Store Next. It's another file system. It's really nasty with tape behind it. It's just, it's a unique phenomenon. And you know, it's interesting. It's fun having been around this industry for a long time and seeing that part of it still, you know, still. Tom, my final question as we run out of time here is also you guys made a big acquisition with 3PAR. That was the big, you know, bidding war when HP got it. Talk about the impact of 3PAR within HP, contribution to earnings, product development, customer satisfaction, and in context also to the media business, if you could. Okay, so, you know, I think the first off, it was an effusion of culture, right? So we got, we were fortunate to be able to keep David Scott, who's my boss, who's the CEO of 3PAR, and his team, and kind of infuse it with the HP team. And a lot of those folks had been with HP prior, so they kind of understood HP. So it was a shot of life for the storage business, and it's been really exciting to see that merger happen. I think the other thing is, you know, it gave us a platform that's, the first version of 3PAR shipped in 2003. So it's new, it's new technology, and we're able to go out and get design wins with it. You know, if we can get a conversation with a customer about the merits of the product versus, you know, other things, like, you know, I like the vendor I got, or I like the sales rep, or I'm used to, if you can get past that, say, let's look at the technology, we get the design win more often than not. And we have, and we'll talk about this more, we have a growing list of takeouts, and they're getting bigger, you know, with 3PAR. Competitive takeouts. Competitive takeouts, where, you know, we were going into a long time, stronghold accounts of the other folks in the industry, and winning, and in all candor, that hasn't happened in HP storage for a number of years. So that, that change is- So they're your flagship out there, leading the way. It's invigorating the business, and it's a lot of fun. It's great to see it start to- Well, it's true, it's probably, John, I've said it a number of times, when I came back into the storage business, my friend John McArthur, you may know John, said, you know, who do I got a look at? He said, two companies, you know, one was Data Domain, and the other was 3PAR. You know, that was my first, you know, onsite visit, and met with those guys, and said, wow, this is new, and it's different. Well, I had, when I was in startup land, before coming back, you know, into a larger company, I had that box in our lab, and I had a lot of other boxes, and it was fundamentally different. And so, you know, when I came around here, you know, it's time to make a decision about what's the right technology, there was no doubt in my mind, and we're very pleased. Okay, Tom Joyce, with HP Storage, thanks for coming on theCUBE again, CUBE alumni, many times. Thanks for your perspective. Great to see you at NAP. Thank you very much. Good to see you, John. Thanks, David. We'll be right back with our next guest, right after this break.


Selamat pagi, semua. Oh, wow. Maksud saya teruk. Jadi, selamat datang ke AWS Community Day Singapura. Ini adalah hari pertama kami di Community Day. Jadi, saya hanya ingin berterima kasih kepada kamu semua untuk mengambil masa pada hari ini, untuk sebenarnya mengambil masa bersama kami. Ya. Jadi, nama saya Steve. Saya rasa beberapa dari kamu berdua mengenai saya. Saya sebenarnya mengambil group AWS di Singapura untuk masa lalu 5 tahun. Saya juga seorang hero komuniti, dan ini hanya saya, CCA. Saya tidak mempayar untuk melakukan ini. Saya mempunyai kerja seluruh masa sebagai pengurus perniagaan dalam perniagaan securus. Jadi, ya, saya hanya ingin berkongsi. Jadi, sebenarnya, AWS Community Days. Mereka hanya seorang konferensi komuniti. Sangat benar-benar. Dan ini bukan pertama di dunia. Mereka ada banyak grup pengguna di seluruh dunia, atau memerlukan hari komuniti mereka sendiri. Dan idea ini hanya untuk hari ini. Untuk mempunyai, atau hanya seorang konferensi, yang datang dari perniagaan, yang datang dari perniagaan sendiri. Jadi, banyak perkara yang anda lihat di sini tidak seperti konferensi perniagaan. Ini adalah perniagaan komuniti. Jadi, itu adalah keputusan yang besar. Dan untuk menunjukkan saja apa yang saya bermakna dengan itu, semua nama orang di sini, orang yang anda dapat melihat sekarang, semua orang pengguna, mereka berjalan di sini, di luar, mereka berada di perniagaan lain. Semua orang-orang di sini adalah pengguna, tidak dapat melakukan ini. Jadi, saya benar-benar menghargai mereka, dan hanya untuk mendapat ke tempat ini, di mana kita di sini sekarang, telah menjadi sebuah... saya akan katakan sebuah pengguna. Okey? Jadi, benar-benar, grup pengguna adalah seorang yang memperkenalkan ini. Tapi kita tidak melakukan ini sendiri. Saya bukan seorang pengguna. Ada banyak orang yang membantu di dalam latar belakang seperti yang saya katakan tadi. Dan... dan... Saya rasa terutamanya, jika anda dari Singapura, dan anda mungkin... anda akan melihat tentang kami, anda akan melihat kami di Mina.com. Jadi, itu di mana kita. Jadi... Ya. Kita juga di skor ini. Kita sangat aktif di skor ini. Jadi, jika anda mempunyai beberapa... AWS teknikal, bercakap dengan kami, anda dapat beberapa... seseorang yang memperkenalkan adonan adonan adonan adonan, datang ke dalam channel kami juga. Kita akan berada di sana, bagaimanapun untuk membantu anda. Baiklah. Jadi, jika anda berada di sini, dan hanya berkawan, hanya... hanya bercakap dengan kami, kita akan berada di sana. Itu keadaan kita, itu keadaan kita. Jadi, saya hanya ingin beri beberapa perjumpaan sebelum saya teruskan... dengan seluruh... sesi. Baiklah. Jadi... benar-benar, kami sangat mendukung, dan kami sangat berterima kasih... untuk pengguna, partner... yang... yang kami ada, dan salah satu pengguna yang terbesar kita, tentu saja, adalah AWS. Baiklah. Kami berjumpa selama bulan-bulan, di Office AWS, pengguna, venue yang anda lihat di sini, banyak kerja di belakang ini di-support oleh AWS. Baiklah. Dan saya berterima kasih untuk orang yang penting, seperti Serena, Johnny, yang... di sana. Baiklah. Dan juga, Shafras, yang tidak di sini. Tetapi, benar-benar, banyak keadaan ini, benar-benar, oleh keadaan-keadaan-keadaan hospitaliti... dari... keadaan-keadaan. Ya. Jadi, yang lain yang saya mahu beritahu, adalah sebenarnya, nginiasis.sg. Jadi, untuk... untuk orang yang tidak tahu, seperti... rekod yang anda lihat sekarang, dan di... dan di perjalanan berkot, itu adalah... seluruh oleh nginiasis.sg. Seluruh penjara-penjara, menyakitkan oleh Michael Chang, yang berada di sana sekarang, dan... mereka telah melakukan ini selama masa, saya rasa, 8 atau 9 tahun, dari... saya faham, saya sedar saya ber Augenamous kan, Michael akan cari saya tolerate yang tidak agak. Jadi, sedangkan banyak覺得 seekor di Singapura... packages dengan semuaころ goed config di Singapura dah pun ventilasi oleh nginiasis jadi, mereka batteri pergi Lake dan itu serang besar untuk pengharisrelaxingan mereka. Sekarang, kami semua berada di wang yang memang baik, dan ini benar-benar способ tengah-tengah p 있게 mengulangi organisasi disebut Tech Talent Assembly, atau T-Tab for Short. T-Tab adalah actually N-T-U-C affiliate. N-T-U-C is the National Workers Union in Singapore, so National Trade Union Congress. What they really want to do is represent all the IT professionals in Singapore just to build up Tech Talent for the future. So if you see it on the screen, there are a lot of activities that they organise, taught leadership series, career conversations for T-Tab members, learning journeys to tech companies, even monthly toast master sessions. And that is just, can be all again just joining with their membership, which is, I think there's a paid component to it, but if when you pay for it, you do have access to the N-T-U-C, the card and stuff like that. It's really a lot of benefits and for me it was quite surprising when I got to know what they were doing, so just really a big shout out for them over here. Also, so our main sponsor for today and actually for the past six months has been Trem Micro. Trem Micro has really been quite a huge supporter of what the user group has been doing. Global Marketplace, partner of the year award last year that was announced during re-invent and of course they are a security company, you know them for security products. So they are a leader in this category of solutions called CNAPP so they have a cloud one. So if you are really interested to find out more and also for T-Tab which I mentioned earlier, look out for them outside at the level 8 for you. The situation is they have set up booths all over there and just really just one last shout out I think some of you all know that after we resume the meet-ups post-COVID the sessions, the drinks, the beers, the food after all the meet-ups has been sponsored by them. So for us they are really officially and unofficially our number one security sponsor. Actually the co-sponsor for this event also is this company called Ivin it's a global company. So I think it's quite clear what they do but really they just provide manage open source data technologies. If you're using Postgres, Kafka and OpenSearch on major clouds, they can help you to host it. They can do all the heavy lifting for you itself. So if you just want to focus on your data value chain, don't want to focus too much on infrastructure for them. They're available on a marketplace and they're also at the level 8 for you. Oh yes, and just one more. So this one is with regards to the venue with NTUC. So young NTUC is just the youth wing of NTUC itself. So now that I've shared with you a lot more of what the activities of these trade unions they do, just bear in mind what organisations that can help you to advance your careers. Okay, so can I invite Mr Jorrel Gashia so he's the head of technology ASEAN AWS to just say a few words to the crowd. So first of all, good morning everyone. It's really great to see everybody in person. If somebody would ask me about two years ago what my prediction would have been for in person events I think I would have only gotten as far as telling everyone about how cool my work from home setup was. Fast forward to today. I think we're very thankful that we're actually getting to meet in person. My name is Jorrel Gashia. I'm humbled because I have the opportunity to lead a group of talented individuals that help accelerate our customers' transformation by leveraging the power of the AWS cloud across 11 countries. I'm very proud to be here today but let me take a step back and do a flashback on the history with Singapore and what we've been doing in the Asia-Pacific region. So in 2010 we launched our region in Singapore and trained over 200,000 people since 2017. According to a survey that we conducted, the most in-demand skills by 2025 are going to be in the air around cloud and cybersecurity and we focus on making sure that we help address those gaps. In keeping up with that demand we're also at a frenetic pace of innovation. In 2011, with AWS we launched about 80 services and features. Fast forward to 2018, it was 1,947. Next year it was 2,048, 2,757 and in 2021 it was 3,057 services and features that we announced. We continue to increase that pace of innovation and that's direct feedback both from our customers because 90% of what we build are direct feedback from what we hear from our customers and communities like this and the user groups. What's interesting is that kind of innovation has led to things like having over, and I'm sure some of you will know over 600 instance types in EC2. In addition, from re-invent, Donny and the rest of the team are going to go over in the career cap. So very, very exciting. But then I want to be able to take a lens and say thank you also to the user group. Over the past 10 years this user group has grown to over 7,000 members. Ever since the in-person restrictions the user group has been meeting consistently every month leading up to this event, so this has been incredible.  With that, obviously part of the things that we do with the community you'll get some advanced information on what may be coming next, some of the betas that we're looking at in terms of services and interacting with you and getting direct feedback that may potentially influence some of those services moving forward. With that, I'd like to say thank you again to the leaders in this team. I want to say thank you to Steve, to Badri, to Michael, and as Steve mentioned earlier to the over 30 volunteers that have taken their time off to make this event happen today. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day. Thank you, Jorrel. So I'll come to the second part of just to brief you all what's going to happen today itself. So firstly, I'd just like to go through the Code of Conduct and it's just a very simple Code of Conduct. The first thing is keep the place clean. So if you're eating lunch later, just try to minimize the amount of mess that there is. And all the people here are community. We're here to spend a good Saturday together. We should learn together to network together. Keep the conversations friendly. Be friendly to one another. That's common community. Of course, if someone is maybe not comfortable with you, please don't harass them. I mean, it's not something that we expect in this conference but it does happen. So it's just something we just want to point out in that sense. And of course, for the respect for speakers, the speakers are spending their time putting in the effort to actually deliver good sessions and for them to fully concentrate. We just hope that for them just keep it quiet. Let them focus and then it will be a good one. And lastly, I think this is just something particular for this conferences of this scale is that we want to keep the timing today very consistent, very sharp, no overruns as minimal overruns as possible. That means we are not going to be allowing questions. So if you want to have questions with the speakers later, find them after the talk and talk to them. That's the best time but not during the session itself. So really, today we have 18 speakers. They are not just coming from Singapore. They're coming from all parts of the world. So like we have Christian over there coming in from Perth. He's the Perth user group later itself. Ranga and Cratic, they're actually from India. Sonu and his friend Hiro, they're all coming in from Japan. All on their own budget. So really, it's just very, very thankful for all these international speakers. I believe there's a Muhammad Wali over here. I don't think he's here yet but he's actually coming in from the Netherlands itself. So for today, really this is all the speakers you're going to hear from and I'll just go through more details for now. So if you have no idea what the schedule is going to be, it's very simple. This card that you have, the lanyard, scan the QR code. That goes to our website. So that's one way to figure out what the schedule is for today itself. Now, I will go through with the more detailed schedule that you see over here. So for today, there's actually three tracks. There are three tracks. This is the main track. This is the auditorium. We are on level seven. So the talks after this will have the recap session. After the recap session, we have Ranga, who's been talking about serverless. So it's a bit small on my side. After that, it will be lunchtime. After lunch, Mohamad Wali will be giving a talk on maximising the value of business value for cost optimisation in a well-architected framework itself. And then after that, Sonu at 140 to 210, he'll be talking about simplifying design complexities using serverless architecture on AWS itself. Christian, treating your AWS pain points. So if you have some interesting things, maybe you just want to understand more from AWS some of these things that are tried and tested and some of these experiences that we have. I think you should listen to his talk. So that's by Christian itself. At 310, Steve Ng from New Relic he'll be talking about how New Relic actually unlock scalability on their platform with cell-based architecture on AWS. At 340 to 410, Badri, who is actually our user group co-leader he's actually going to be giving a talk on building an enterprise-grade multi-account AWS environment because that's what he's doing in his own day job itself. And we really hope that you guys stay all the way because from 420 to 510 there's going to be a lot of interesting things happening. We're going to have Epic Carhood Quiz. I think some of you might have played with the December one so you know how epic this could be. So prizes over there are very attractive and sponsored by Trend Micro. So thank you for them in advance. Then with the closing address, photograph, and also lastly there will be a t-shirt giveaway. But you have to stay all the way to the end. So please don't run off. If you don't run off then there's no t-shirt. So that was for the main trend. Now in the breakout trend that is on the 119 Room 903. You go up the escalator I think to the top and you walk all the way that side. You will see the banners, you cannot miss it. This building, this venue is very small. So you cannot miss it. But over there that's where we have our breakout track. We have other speakers talking over there. So at 1120 to 1150 simplifying your application network connectivity with the latest networking launches from re-invent. So if you're interested to find out what are the networking features that will help you with your next network architecture. Listen to Bumi, he'll be talking about that. For followed by that, lunchtime 1150 to 1255 lunch will be at level 7 the mezzanine. So both the main tracks and the breakout track end the session at the same time. So you have all lunch together at the same time. The mezzanine is just below two levels below this level. There will be ashes, there will be signs to help you. If you are lost, just follow the crowd. And then after that at 1 o'clock to 1.30. This one is going to be very interesting. We're going to have a fire sign chat and this is actually with the tech community leaders in Singapore. So I'll be first leading that with Michael Chang and two other community leaders, Max and Saloni. So we'll be just having a chat if you are really interested to find out how the tech community is, how you can get involved how have people built up their experience, what is in it for you in the community itself. I highly encourage you to just go to this very interactive session. Okay. And next, Chatra, you'll be talking about automating the deployment of software agents centrally using systems manager. So if you're an ops guy, you maybe haven't done a lot of systems manager, but you're very interested in this, go to his talk. No, next. Ashok, he'll be talking about AWS Cloud Automation platform with Terraform and Jenkins. So I believe this is something that he has actually done in his own day job, so he's going to share the experience of what he has done. So definitely if he has done in his day job, there's better hardened experience. So if you really want to know more, you want to apply to your own organization, go and listen to his talk. After that, Paul. Paul, he'll be talking about unifying your security data with Amazon Security Lake and OCSF. So for those who don't know, Security Lake was actually a very big security feature that was launched during re-invent itself. So if you are really interested to find out more, maybe you are a security guy, or you could be a partner that is developing security solutions on that. This will be the talk that you should go for. And lastly, 340 to 410, Chen Yang, he's from AWS under the BI team. He'll be talking about building trust in your data and improving your data quality with automated frameworks on AWS. So if you are a data guy, you do data day-to-day, you do data engineering day-to-day itself, you are interested in this line of talk, go for his talk. Lastly, for the... 2 tracks are covered. The last one is actually the workshop track. So the workshop track is actually interesting, and it's actually on level 9, Room 901, just before the breakout track, area. There will be 2 workshops for today, and it's hands-on bring your own laptop. So if you have laptops, which I believe most of you came here with laptops, and you're very interested in for the first one, which is securing an Amazon EKS cluster with Velco. This will be developed by Yong Kang. So Yong Kang is actually very prominent in the Kubernetes and the container space. You can see him on LinkedIn almost every day. So just if you want to know more, go for his workshop. Now, the second workshop is actually by critic over there, and he was going to be showing how you can use EC2 as your personal computer, featuring VS Code. So I think that's going to be quite interesting for those developers who just want to try something very different and just want to experience what it's like to do that. Go for his workshop. So that's pretty much what to-today is really about. And lastly, like I mentioned, with all the sessions, they will all end at 4.10, at 4.20, we come back here and we come back here to do the prizes, the closing address, take a nice, good photograph, t-shirt giveaway like I mentioned. So we really, really hope that you spend your day with us and we'll just make your time worth it to do so. Ya, really. And that's about it. Thank you. That was really the opening address and we will go shortly into the recap sessions. Thank you.


I could sing the song forever. This song, made famous by Miriam Maikeba, and known to many as the click song, was told as a story to young Miriam by her mother. Ikrych, in my home language, is a kosa, is the term for a traditional healer or diviner. And the song tells us the story of a knock-knock beetle, the dung beetle, who is the diviner of the road. Early last year, my grandmother gave me a call to tell me the news that my younger sister, troubled younger sister, had been to visit a sangom, or ikrych, troubled. My sister had recently resigned from a chef job at a prestigious hotel because it was too much hard work and she just didn't want to be a chef anymore. Granny went to great lengths, explaining to me that this particular sangom was different in that she was a Christian, like ourselves, and she even employed Christian, God-like methods in her work, such as using the Bible to profess her visions. I saw how Granny wanted me to relate somehow, but the bones and the Bible phenomenon created a very fuzzy picture for me in my head. My sister then got revelation of what the sangom had to say, because you see it is not uncommon for black African cultures to employ the services of a traditional healer to help God along, as my family sometimes makes me understand. I remember growing up I used the term witch doctor, and I remember desperately trying to reconcile the idea of a witch simultaneously being a doctor. Somehow the two just didn't fit together. Granny then came back and she told me that my sister, who had been to visit the sangoma, went back to the sangoma and the sangoma revealed what it is that was wrong. The revelation, of course, was that it wasn't my sister who had anything wrong with her. In fact, it was two friends who were responsible for her bad relationships, her lack of drive, her laziness, these two friends were apparently doing everything in their power to sabotage all her efforts. Naturally, I wanted to find out from Granny, but Granny, what does this mean? Why is the story of my sister visiting a sangoma relevant or important to us in any way? It's important because my sister left that sangoma's room a victim. And central to the analysis that these sangomas give to their many patients is a tendency, as I've been told by many, to want to put the blame on some third or other dark force as having caused your problems, your woes, your issues, giving scant regard to empowering each person to take responsibility for some of the things in their lives. What does this tell us? It tells us that perhaps there is a room for tradition. It tells us that perhaps there's room for us to be able to allow ourselves to interact with our tradition. Now I've always alienated myself. I've always alienated myself. I grew up on Cinderella and Snow White. There was no way I was going to be called dead visiting a sangom. That's just who I was. And I became very harsh and judgmental towards my sister's visit to the sangom, simply because I didn't want to allow myself to be associated with it. I realized that in the country in which we live, this confusion and this wanting to distance ourselves from that which is traditional is very widespread. So widespread, in fact, is this, that those who visit sangomas will do so in secret. Nobody must know. So what does this do? It creates a situation where rumors fly about in our communities, Andy Doris, who's 50 years old, use the special blend of herbs, mooti, to lure and keep that potential 30-year-old lover. Gogo, over there, uses mooti because she's bewitching the neighbor's neighbor. All sorts of stories. What these stories tell us is that perhaps it is important for us to allow ourselves just to understand the system of healing a bit more. Perhaps it's important for us to, as we open ourselves up to understand it more, to see how it can feed into aspects of who we are. In redefining this Africa, somebody came up here and spoke to an Africa, solving Africa's problems, African solutions for African problems. And I think the big, the big thing is really just to say, as we redefine this beautiful Africa of ours, perhaps we need to go back to some of these traditions. We need to take a collective, a collective approach, a collective approach that says we need to recognize that Africa is a collection of histories, traditions, religions, social norms. We need to identify the reality that Africa is an Africa of societal norms that differ across the board. And the minute we do that and allow ourselves to do that, I think we can, as scientists, and some of us, somebody pointed a few minutes ago that there is Sangoma, but that as scientists and traditionalists, perhaps, that there's room for us to find that connection, the nexus that brings this world of science and art, science and art, science and tradition together. And in so doing, we can renegotiate Africa's identity and our future globally. Thank you.

When you take a word like truth, it has very many different meanings for different people and there's always an attempt to put order into that because depending on the culture and the background from which you come, it's going to take on a different hue, a different meaning altogether. In the context of this teaching here, the truth is synonymous with the antaratman, the antar guru, source, soul. When you say antaratman, then you also are speaking about the cosmic atman which is individualized in each being. So that would be what is referred to here as the truth. It's not how it's generally understood in a moral sense, you know, truth and lies. That's not what is referred to here, it's something deeper, it's something subtle. And it's that soul and this truth is also independent of society, morals, cultures and all those various influences that can create what we call a conscience. This is not conscience because conscience is based on your socialization. A person who grows up in a culture where they are cannibals would not have a bad conscience if they have a little piece of human being for breakfast. They would not have a bad conscience because it belongs to their culture. Conscience is something that is built by socialization. Whereas the truth as I speak of it here is something beyond all of that. So sometimes this truth might impulse you to do something which is not that social. It could even be antisocial or appear to be antisocial because generally any action you take which is impulsed by the truth will uphold society. Its aim cannot be to disintegrate society unless there is a specific need for that. So if you as a seeker are seeking for the truth, what you are actually seeking for is to use your vive ka buddhi, your vive ka shakti, the ability to discern the intelligence of discernment and discern between the loud noise of the ahankar of the ego, the ego lie and the impulse of the truth which is actually felt as a physical thing in the body. The socialization process distances you from that truth and you have to clean your way through the ego back to the original state of truth action that this body would undertake if it were not under such an ego influence. So if you look at societies which are so-called advanced, they are advanced because they are more advanced at fulfilling desires. You don't have sugarcane, you have chocolate and hundred kinds of chocolate. That's why they are called advanced. They are advanced at fulfilling and creating desire. So when you look at societies like that and as the ego increases, as the need to fulfill desires and the creation of desires which go hand in hand increase, so does the experience of a general depression and the system increase. It goes hand in hand. So when you move back to the original state which is actually moving from that truth impulse, then the joy grows in the system. So the truth is that which when surrendered to in Samarpand allows the body to act in a way that will lead to an increase in joy in the system. So discern, use the Vivekabuddhi, discern between the loud noise of the ego and the almost imperceptible signal of truth. Then fearlessly bend in surrender to that truth and then allow the system, the body itself, to take action based on that truth. And that would encapsulate what truth is and how one actually is operating, you can say, with that truth impulse from moment to moment to moment. The more you stay in the truth, the more joy in the system, one to one. Very beautifully explained. The next thing is that the mind cannot know the truth in that sense, but as you mentioned it can be felt in the body-mind structure, so to say. Is that the correct understanding? When you look at the consciousness that is within the system, so not if you're going into transcendental experience, because if you go into transcendental experience, then that has its own set of principles and its own set of pitfalls. But if you stay within the system, which means you're not floating out in deep meditative states or drinking a lot of alcohol or doing a lot of japa long hours or things like that, which force the consciousness technically out of the system, as long as you stay within the system, there is a spectrum of consciousness. So the human being is a conceptual creature. The human being appraises the world and translates what is received by the senses in the conceptual. The truths, when it is experienced, can be experienced conceptually, but that would be a very limited view of what's actually going on. Through that surrender process, the more you bend, the more this consciousness starts to expand and suddenly if you expand into the transformative, which is that which is beyond the thinking conceptual rational, you enter a trans-rational state of consciousness. It's the occult. It is where art happens. It is where the shamans play their dance with the spirits. It's where all of that happens which the conceptual is not able to grasp. So once the consciousness expands there, suddenly you're seeing everything from an entirely different angle of view point. The associations you make are much richer and multi-dimensional than if you're just in the conceptual sitting there and logically trying to ascertain what's going on.  He looks like a European. That is the conceptual appraising something. But if you move into that surrender state and your consciousness starts to expand, you will suddenly see beyond that, you'll see somebody who's yearning for a way of the truth, somebody who is quite at peace with himself. You'll start sensing him more than just a conceptual appraisal. So as you expand the consciousness, your whole view of truth itself starts to expand. And then at one point you're in this chakra here in the pluriform state, the Agnya chakra, and then you have this experience of Trikala Drishti. This is something very real and one actually experiences it in the body. The difference is if you're going to chase after cosmic experience, you will not have the terrestrial experience, either one or the other. You also won't really be in charge of your body that much. That's why you see all these people who are enlightened, semi-enlightened, partially enlightened, very floaty. But they're not in touch with what's going on in the world. They can't be because the consciousness is not sitting in the system present. So it's a choice to know the truth within the spectrum that is terrestrial and corporeal, or then a cosmic experience. So the truth is not the truth, it's many things and also multi-dimensional, especially in the Trikala Drishti, in the Agnya chakra, in what is the pluriform state of consciousness there, the experiences of knowing things how they were and how they're going to be. Everybody has this experience, a lot of the times they don't even know they're having it. So if you're bending in surrender to the truth and you're doing that with a certain integrity and a sincerity as a sadhana should be undertaken but not with a utilitarian approach like what can I get out of it, then the worlds open up and they open up much faster than one can imagine. Because you're not floating out, you're actually present. So when something starts to open up, you realize it. I had a young student of mine recently describing an experience she had and it was a clear plop, it was like you plopped out of the conceptual she was in the transformative and she was trying to analyze it because it was something so unusual and I said don't try to control things.  And then when the consciousness sinks back into the familiar conceptual you'll be able to grasp what happened to you conceptually because a transformative experience cannot in its wholeness be grasped by the conceptual. The conceptual is so limited. It's a narrow little piece of that whole spectrum so that would be if I understood your question correctly the various experiences of truth. But in the strictly conceptual it is an impulse that impulses the system to take action and when one goes with it one increases the joy and when one goes with the ego, with the ahamkar the joy in the system depletes. That's actually a simple explanation but it is also a simple thing finally, isn't that complex? If you take up the sadhana you'll find out, you know, that's how it is.  His name is Tarun Pradhan. I don't know whether you know him or Pradhan. No, I don't. He met you maybe in Rishikesh and he considers you as his guru. Please send him my greetings.
