Hello everyone. I'm so happy to be here. Let's start with some presentations. So my name is Martin Fuentes. I am Senior Product Manager at Instana for Kubernetes Observability. And I am here today with my colleague, Cedric. Hey, I'm Cedric. I'm a product manager for our distributed tracing and open telemetry particular. Nice to meet you all. Great. So today we have a bunch of slides to share with you. We're going to talk about Kubernetes resource management. What are the different metrics that Kubernetes takes into account for a scheduling pods and containers and what are the different scaling approaches. And then I will hand it over to my colleague Cedric, who is going to talk about how you can actually observe Kubernetes workloads. We are giving an introduction to open telemetry, the different ways you can instrument applications with open telemetry with some examples, and then also some like demo. And with this, I will just start. Let's, so as I mentioned, let's go ahead and talk about Kubernetes resource management. So when we talk about a resource at Kubernetes, we mainly talk about CPU and memory, and those are the most important resources that Kubernetes is managed, and the ones that are taking into account when a Kubernetes is scheduled pods or containers in the cluster. So CPU is one of them. As I mentioned, one CPU unit is equivalent to one physical or virtual CPU. That's the way that Kubernetes measure it. You can actually allocate a fractional parts of a CPU to a workload. And the minimum that you can actually assign or request for a container is one mini CPU, which is of course the thousand part of a CPU. Then for memory, memory is measured in bytes and bytes are just bytes. It supports two different suffixes. You can use quantity suffixes like beta, tera, giga, mega kilo and so on. And as well, it also supports power of two equivalents like PB bytes, the PB bytes, GB bytes and so on. So there's one other resource that it's probably less taking into account and less use, which is the local terminal storage. But for some workloads, it might be important that you make sure that your container is going to run in a node that actually has this kind of storage. And it's also enough space also available. So it's also measured in bytes. It's also supported two different quantity suffixes and power of two. And one thing that it's important to remark if you're actually taking this kind of resource into account that it's not guaranteed that it will be long term availability. So that's something important and it's only about the family storage that lives inside the pool. So for every container in your cluster, you can actually set up what it's called request and limits. So the request is the minimal amount of resources, either CPU or memory that your workload will need to run, and you can specify that so Kubernetes will know in which node of the cluster schedule your containers or pods. The limits are more or less similar, but it says to Kubernetes, which is the threshold that this workload shouldn't be exceeding. So it shouldn't be consuming more than X amount of CPUs or X amount of bytes of memory. The Cube scheduler, which is one of one part of the Kubernetes components will decide in which node the pod will run depending on the availability of resources in that node and the request that were configured for that workload and for that container. Then the Cubelet will reserve at least that amount of resources that were requested in the node to make sure that it's available for the container to run. And also the Cubelet will be the one enforcing that the limits are respected so we can prevent that other containers that are running there will have less resources than they requested or they need to actually run. Now this is how a request and limits are actually configured for a container. So this is a very simple config map with two containers running in a single pod. For each of the containers, there's a configuration for memory and CPU requested, and at the same time limits for the same applications as you can see here. It's very straightforward and very simple as I mentioned here is requesting a 64 maybe bytes of memory and 250 millicores to run this specific container. Now what happens with request and limits how do they actually impact your workloads and the containers running there. So if a container hits the CPU limit. What Kubernetes will do is to throttle the container meaning that the application running there will be probably less performance than it was before, but it won't be terminated or addicted so you will have less performance but your application will still run. On the other hand, if a container hits or exists the memory limit it will be actually terminated by Kubernetes. The pot will die and depending if the pot was managed by an application controller like a deployment stateful set or them on set. Kubernetes will make actually the controller will make sure to spin up a replacement for that pot that just died because of memory consumption. So the decided state is always respected. It's important to take into account that this process could actually happen like in a loop. So if you have a memory leak in your application, it might happen that your application will be dying very often because Kubernetes will always make sure that the memory limit is not surpassed. And it's important also to try to take a look at how your applications are consuming these resources against the request and limits. I tried to bring this example to show that it's not only important to allocate as the minimum that your application needs but also trying to not request more than it actually needs because that that resources will be reserved for the application while it will not be actually using it. So here in this chart for example you see for memory consumption the actual usage of the application is below the request. That means that there's some space here of memory that is not really used by the application but it's still reserved for it because it was requested. So it's really important to make sure that you have also like a visual way to see how the configuration of request and limits is doing together with the consumption of those resources by the application. Moving forward, I was also willing to talk about scaling. So there are two different types of scaling at Kubernetes you have horizontal scaling that also have two different meanings depending if it's for the node or for a pot. At the node level it actually means adding more nodes to a given cluster so you will have more servers in that cluster to allocate workloads while at the pot level it means that you are adding more running replicas to an application for example you have an application that is taking requests from end users and at a certain point you see that the application performance is degrading so you will actually spin up more replicas of that applications to actually allocate more end user requests and in that case it will be horizontally scaling your pot. In the case of vertical scaling at the node level it actually means to modify the active resources of each node so if you have for example a virtual machine running on a physical server you can modify what are the resources available in that virtual machine you are actually vertically scaling that node. And for a pot it means a playing a bit with request and leave it so when you, as I mentioned before it's important to not request more than what your application needs when you're doing that this fine tune of request and limits, taking into account the actual consumption of your application you're actually vertically scaling your containers or pots. I would also like to have one more slide about the horizontal and vertical pot out of scaling so focusing on pots here, because at the end that's why that's what is going to be running in your cluster and the configuration that you have the possibility to impact. There is a way to automatically scale your containers in Kubernetes and it's called HPA and it stands for out horizontal pot out of scaling. And in that case you can set up a query that will tell to Kubernetes starting on which threshold it will start spinning up or down more replicas of that container that you have deployed. This is not possible for any, for all the application controllers or workloads, but you can do it for deployment state full set or replicas set for example. In the case of vertically vertical pot out of scaling. So there's a mechanism that will allow Kubernetes to dynamically adjust the CPU and memory attributes of your pot. So you will actually be, as I mentioned before, modifying the requests for that pot but it can happen also in an automated way by Kubernetes. So now I also wanted to bring you a summary of how you would look at this information or data in an observability tool and it's important to mention that you need to have like visibility for all the different components of the cluster. It's important that the observability tool that you're using allows to see also not only the request and limits for specific containers or pots but also a kind of a summary or roll up of these request limits and resource usage at different levels of the cluster. You can look at that at the node level by namespace or even at the whole cluster. With this and probably before I hand it over to my colleague Cedric, I will just take a look if there are questions. Okay, so don't really see any question from our audience. I encourage you to send us any question or doubt that you have we're here to answer them. So I'm handing the presentation now to my colleague Cedric to take it over. Oh, I can see so wait just one second Cedric because question just popped up. So I have a question from Deepank who asked, do we vertically, so do we vertical scale using Goblin? So in this case it's actually not depending on the technology or the language that you're using as long as you can, you know what are the different resources that your application will use. You have a way to actually tell Kubernetes which is the quality that it has to run and the different thresholds to scale up or down vertically your pots. But you, it's not depending on the language that your application is writing. I hope to answer your question with this. Thank you Deepank. Questions are always great. Let's talk to the actual observing part or is there more, I see one more question. Do you want to answer that? Zuresh asks, during vertical scaling is the container recreated or you know if the scaling was done on the fly? So if it's an auto scaling so if you're actually setting up Kubernetes to scale the cluster in that in that case it will be actually recreated. Oh sorry, no, I am talking about, sorry, Zuresh, you're talking about vertical scaling. It's done dynamically so it's not going to be recreated, it's just, that's it on the fly. It dynamically modifies the request for your workload, sorry. All right. No, it looks to be. Thanks. I think we can catch up with everything. Let's then go to the observing workloads part and I think this part is a bit more preparation, right? We are here for observability and I think we should talk about what we actually mean when we want to establish or facilitate observability. And it's the same whether we talk about Kubernetes, whether we talk about a more traditional schedule like Nomad or just your plain host-based application that you deploy via floppy disks or whatever. So observability is actually inferring the state of a workload by looking at its inputs and outputs, right? So we want to consume signals from a given service. When we talk signals, we usually mean traces, metrics, logs, and then we want to infer the state of the application. We want to go analyze the logs, see if there are any errors in them. We want to take a look at the metrics, see if the numbers are healthy, for example, you know, the processing rate latency is a very good measure. And for tracing, actually, it gets a bit more interesting, right? With tracing, we usually mean distributed tracing so it's not on the one service involved in a transaction, but it's rather a distributed transaction. So you have your bank application on your mobile phone and when you tap, you know, you wire some money to a friend. The request will actually go from your mobile. It will go into, you know, some edge service and from the edge service will probably distribute it into some kind of bank management system. Maybe it even goes to a mainframe in the seller. And yeah, these kinds of transactions get increasingly complex and that's why the distributed part here is very important. We want to collect these signals from services and infrastructure that you are running either inside traditional data centers or inside Kubernetes. Then once you have the signals and, you know, your services are emitting the signals, you want to enable a collection on them, right? So there needs to be some kind of tool that would catch all the traces, catch all the metrics, catch all the logs. It would maybe allow you some post-processing to remove personal information from the data. And then you want to store the signals. If you wanted to take a deep look, you know, five minutes later or the other day, you need to have a storage that is capable of storing these signals for you, which directly caters into the next part. At some point in time, you will want to analyze all the signals with an analytical engine. All in all, traditionally, all that has been very complex and it was a space that was dominated by some vendors. They did the data collection for you and they would provide the analytics engine and that has shifted a bit. And let's take a look at the next slide. What is already in the title of this talk is Open Telemetry. And so Open Telemetry is really an open standard that cares about observability as a whole. They care about all the different steps in the process. They have a component for collecting the data, which is called the collector, which receives processes and exports all the signals at your disposal, basically. They provide some instrumentation libraries and these are the things that are in your processes and they, you know, analyze the data flow in your process. They probably do some instrumentation on the code level so they would be intercepting, for example, Java via bytecode or whatever, and infer traces, logs and metrics for you. And what's interesting is the project even provides auto instrumentation for some runtime such as Java, Node.js, Python and .NET, which basically means removing a lot of manual work of the data collection and just including these Open Telemetry in process components into your application, including the Java agent into your Java applications. The Java agent will automatically instrument your workload and you have minimum time to that even with this open source option. And then the Open Telemetry project cares as well about some deployment helpers. So, yeah, you need to deploy all of these components. You need to instrument your workloads. You need to deploy a collector. You need to make sure that the network thing in your Kubernetes cluster is set up, all of that, and the community is taking care of that. So, there is a Helen chart that will deploy the collector for you. There is a Kubernetes operator that will auto instrument your workloads.  And, yeah, probably one of the best things that this project has established is a shared protocol. So, with Open Telemetry, when I think about Open Telemetry, there is this Open Telemetry line protocol, which is available. It covers, you know, the data transmission between the collection components and a collector or a vendor. And this is a standard thing. So, if you're not satisfied with your current observability solution, you know, you can pack your things and just direct your workloads to report to another vendor without having to re-instrument everything, which is cool. The project is governed by the CNCF. It's an open process everyone can participate, and it's entirely open on GitHub. So, if you're interested, head towards GitHub, look for Open Telemetry, tons and tons of great people and discussions there. Next slide, please. So, let's take a look at the instrumentation. What does it actually look like? So, if you are not in a position where you can or want your workloads to be automatically instrumented, you are probably familiar with the case that you need to pull in a vendor library. You need to, you know, add some code bits in and around your business logic to facilitate collecting traces, for example, right? You would need to encapsulate all of your business logic into some mechanism that would define, hey, this is a transaction. Take care of it and export it to a observability tool with Open Telemetry, and especially with Java, this is crazy. So, what I brought today is the snippet of a, or a snippet from a Docker file. So, you can see it's basically just pulling the plain open JDK 17, and then it is pulling from GitHub the Open Telemetry Java agent, which is a Java file. And then in the CMD line, we are basically incorporating that Java file. We are basically using it as a Java agent. We are attaching it to our JVM. And what that will do, it will automatically modify your code, unknown code paths such as popular web frameworks, and it will wrap around it, do that wrapping for you basically, and automatically collect the trace signals in that case. And, you know, that's it. There is no further work to be done. You can enhance or augment your experience here with an SDK, but it's entirely optional, right? You just pull it in, have it work, and it will even automatically find its way to the Open Telemetry collector. If the collector is available at the standard part, the connection is made automatically. Cool. So much for Java. I brought another example. This is Node.js. It's a bit more complex. So you see that with Open Telemetry, the landscape is not homogenous. It's more, it's a very diverse community and the different projects that are at various stages of maturity. But automatic instrumentation is possible with Node.js as well. And one option would be to use their operator in Kubernetes to automatically do what's on this slide. But since we're here to learn something, I thought it would make sense if we take a look at the steps. So at the left-hand side, there is the Docker file once again. We pulled the plain Node 17 image. We copy some stuff. And what you will notice is that in line 13, we are actually requiring a file that is basically prepended to everything that the application does. So we are requiring that Tracer.js file upfront before starting the application. And the content is on the right-hand side. We are configuring Open Telemetry here. We are configuring basically the, or specifically the Node SDK portion of Open Telemetry. And we wire the OTLP trace and metric exporters here. In line 10, line 14, they can consume a canonical environment arrival, which you can set on your workload so that they find their correct door. And then all you have to do is start the SDK, line 24, and you're done. And by means of the instrumentations config in line 21 and the automatic resource detection on line 20, you are covered. So what this will do is it will automatically start reporting. It will automatically recognize its environment. It will detect whether you are running on GCP, whether you're running on AWS and a Lambda function in a Fargate container in an Azure function or in a Google Cloud Trun container that's facilitated by means of resource detectors. And every signal will be annotated with this information so that you can easily consume it later down the road. And the auto instrumentation registration in line 21, just make sure that standard libraries in the Node runtime and even some community libraries are automatically instrumented. So when you have an express app and you invoke a controller or a route that you have, it will automatically collect band data for you. So collect trace data. Cool. That's it. And that's really it. Instrumentation is done. Make a slide, please. So if you want to learn more about instrumentation, we have a demo application up on GitHub. It's github.com. We have some examples for Java, Python, Node.js, even Golang, an instrumented Nginx, an instrumented page 2 web server. And you can check the project out. I think, in the example, are fairly straightforward. And by that, let's check out if there are any questions. What about Golang's auto instrumentation available? Great question. Why is the question great? Go as a compiled language, right? It's inherently hard to auto instrument these. While there are some proprietary options available for auto instrumentation, the open telemetry project is not currently at the point where they are investing into auto instrumenting and go applications, but that could very well be an enhancement driven by the community. Thanks for the question. Next slide. Remember my first slide? Now we need to collect all the data that our workloads are emitting. And as an open telemetry collector, we have chosen a specific artifact. So instead of using the open telemetry collector, which is a project and it's a specification at the same time, let's deploy the Instana agent as an open telemetry collector. That is our host-based agent, basically, that you would roll out onto your production systems and it would observe anything out of the box. And it can ingest open telemetry for easy augmentation of our already available automatic instrumentation. So this specific example takes care of creating a namespace in your Kubernetes cluster if it doesn't exist. And it will then deploy that hand chart that is specified. It will set some default configuration. And then in the second to last line, we set open telemetry.enabled equals true. And that's all you need. And that facilitates populating our agent in your cluster as an ingress point for open telemetry data. It's addressable via a DNS name in your cluster. And it listens on the standard part. So it's a really transparent process. And now combine that with configuring your workloads. We will take a look at that. But basically data collection is done. You deploy the agent or any other open telemetry collector. And collection is taken care of. Next slide. Yes, configuration of Kubernetes workloads. So as I said, we would be really looking forward towards an easy configuration. And in reality, all you will probably need is the OTA, underscore export, underscore OTP, underscore endpoint environment variable on the process. You modify your deployment or pod specification. And you just inject this environment variable, make it point at the internal DNS name for your open telemetry collector, which in this case refers to our agent. And you would be any other collector. And in addition to that, you would set the OTA service name environment variable, which is the only required thing in open telemetry, everything needs to be recognizable, right. So it requires us to set the service name here and it's easiest to be done from the outside with environment configuration. And by that, our workload configuration is done as well. Easy. Right. Now we are getting to the beefy part, right. So we have taken care of a lot of things. But now we want to analyze on our telemetry data. So you would now select the vendor of choice for your observability needs and you would make sure that your collection mechanism for your open telemetry collector, for example, would shuffle the data from your devices to the vendors, vendors premises. And this example, we already have chosen, we have taken care of that decision right so we want we are in standard we want to use our product in that case, because we know it well and how to use it and what value it brings. So we thought we, we would take a few minutes on a very short demo. And basically by deploying the Instana agent. We already, we already have an analytics backend, and we already configured it. I see there is a rather large question and I would like to address that in the Q&A part after the short demo. Thanks. Okay. Marcin, can you, let me share this screen. So, this is Instana. You can all see it now. And this is a dashboard for a Kubernetes cluster. You are recognizing it because Marcin already showed it to you, right. You see that we denote all the different object types in Kubernetes clusters here and we need to group them under specific clusters. This is our demo environment, which we use for customer presentations and very nice. So it has a bunch of demo data in here and one particular thing I wanted to show you is the hotel shop in action, basically. I promised you that there would be a demo project. And I think this is a very good, very good example. So, since Instana is all about giving you full context throughout analyzing your observability signals, you can always go from infrastructure elements like this Kubernetes cluster to, for example, trace data or logging data have connected. And let's take a look at our analytics section, which is here. Let's say, hey, dear unbounded analytics feature, please give me all the spam data that you have for this specific Kubernetes cluster. And what it will do, it will do it, right. So what we have here is all the trace data produced by that specific cluster grouped by a namespace. And you can see that we recognize objects like services. So for example, the different hotel shop components. And we can analyze trace data for this to get a better picture what the hotel shop really is. Let's look at our applications perspective section application perspectives as a concept that we wrap around the individual services. Basically a way for you as a customer or a user of Instana to kind of segregate your services into more cohesive units. So in this case, let's take a look at the hotel shop, which is one of the application perspectives that I defined taking a look at configuration first. And it's basically denoted here by means of the physical host zone. So I already made dashboard for you to go analyze on the health of your application. What is my application made of I see something here. It says, okay, open time tree shop. Yeah, okay, probably an online shop but what does it consist of. We have a tool that we call the dependency map over here. And this is really a way to analyze your application data flow. So don't mind that hotel shop web service over here it's just sitting around probably doing nothing. The Apache to instrumentation is not very mature yet. So I assume an issue with the actual instrumentation but take a look at the hotel shop engine x front service by by looking at the name this is the your front proxy. It receives calls from a load generator, and we can see all the services that it would talk to right. So a user might check out the shipping options for objects in your store right. They might want to change their passwords through the hotel shop user service. They want to rate products we are the rating service. And then the rating service, for example, it calls into something else. And you can see that the tiny pop up here. This is the ratings database. And the ratings database just receives calls from the rating service as it should. It's all observed all inferred out of the box. But what do we have over here hotel shop card so the card service is talking to the shipping service which makes sense because you want to know shipping options. So we can analyze for the things that you have in your car and we see that this is a HTTP service. And what we can do for every individual service, we go through the dashboard and this is once again an opinionated dashboard. And we can go see all the calls that were created by the open telemetry or to instrumentation and that case the shipping services say it's a Java application. So all of the all of the transactions that you can see here are automatically created there is no additional polishing from our side at least not that I would remember. So let's take a look at this one. It's an HTTP post that was created by the auto instrumentation. We natively blend open telemetry data alongside our auto instrumentation that we have on our more or less proprietary set of things. So you can mix and match open telemetry and job and it's not an auto instrumentation, whenever you like. But this set of services is really all about open telemetry. So here's the call ground. And now it gets interesting right one of the one of the measures of application healthy for healthiness, for example, is call latency. So you want to know how long is my call taking, but you not only want to look at that very specific call, you also want to take a look at all the other other calls that were made to that endpoint. So we give you a way to, you know, very transparency look at the numbers and see all the points in your distributed transaction. So there's this call it enters through the front proxy goes inside the shipping service. There is an HTTP call that's outgoing from the engine X front to the hotel shipping service. And then there is some internal stuff happening here there's a controller involved. And then there was a cart helper involved. So I can do a lot of with this but imagine you are a developer or a DevOps persona. And you want to track down a production issue, we want to see an issue with calls that happen to a specific service. And you can do that by means of checking a box. It's not visible right now let me clear out some filters here. So we see that we have erroneous calls in our systems and we would like to investigate those either because we are on call with we received an issue that has been tracked. Or, you know, a customer is asking why the transaction has failed and we see that oh my gosh there are a lot of fair transactions. Red means contains errors. Take a look at that. Once again the distributed transaction and we immediately see that the payment service actually failed. And we can now infer where the where the distributed transaction actually went wrong. So we know that we have a status code error and then open telemetry there is a specific label that can be applied so there wasn't a status code 500. So something in my applications logic is apparently wrong. So I can go now fix it. And I think it's very straightforward to to do the analysis over here. So that was a tiny glimpse into using open telemetry tracing with men's data we have a lot more in store, ranging from user and user monitoring to our own tracing libraries with some more expert knowledge. But I would really recommend that you check out our demo project. Take a look at the instrumentation and enjoy the power of telemetry.  Well, stop, stop sharing the screen and take care about some questions maybe. So, first of all, thank you since my team put up the slide thing. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Right. There's once again the link to the demo application on GitHub.  I think you don't have to really register you need to leave your email address and you can, you know, then play with Instana and the play with environment. Looking at questions, consider the small microservices segment below. There is a question about an SLO bridge as at Ingress Node A and at the same time, we want to find anomaly alerts and containers B5 and B8. Is there a way we can quickly plot a flow chart using the traces or any mechanism to find the issues quickly so we can find the root cause. The goal is to reduce the MTTR minimum time to respond and maintain the healthy SLO service level objective and use the error budget effectively. Well, you're so I suppose you are advanced in your in your DevOps journey so you are playing around with SLOs and SLIs, which is great by the way we can support you with that. And the question is, can you plot a flow chart using traces to find the issues. Yes, so it depends on your analytics engine. In theory, your distributed tracing provider, open telemetry and instrumentation does it as well. They will, you know, supply you with a graph of a call. They will supply you with all of the history of the services that a call traveled through and you have it at your disposal right you have a trace ID you have a span ID for the individual individual components and sub components and you can really use that to to analyze more SLOs is a bit more in the hard analytics topics or you need analytics engine that takes care of analyzing data over time keeping state. It's not a trivial thing to do. Our product has capabilities to do so but since we are talking about open telemetry, which is not yet at the analytics stage, I would say yes, you can do that you just need a vendor that supports it. And then the follow up question from we did. Can we calculate SLOs with open telemetry. Yeah, for sure. So it collects tracing metrics data log data and whatever your objectives are made of. You can, of course, use open telemetry for that. Right so you would really be dependent on your vendor or your data analytics and if you want to host it yourself, for example with a prompt stack or, you know, some some Grafana product for example, very popular choices. There are mechanisms in these analytics engines. But it's really up to to you on your tool to settle for best practices approaching and there's nothing that open telemetry will provide as a best practice to you to define your goals. Can the tool monitor the flow between the clusters. Interesting question. Can you get my screen, because the answer answer is yes. I will show you a very cool feature of Instana that I that I failed to highlight and this is really a pity. It's my bad. It's my bad. So the first things first open telemetry does not care if you're distributed if your transactions just happen on a local host. But they can be distributed by nature they can go beyond a single cluster they can go to your payment provider, they can go through your cloud edge provider for example if they support tracing. For example, you know, cloud fair has an option to do that. And it's really about the data collection if you can get the data sure you have this to distribute an action. And it really doesn't care where it's running is it running the starting in a Kubernetes cluster ending in a lambda function traveling through a cloud run container and then who maybe at some point also going through a mainframe. But one thing our tool does is we do infrastructure correlation right I said it briefly, but for every span so for every sub interaction that we denote here, we can pinpoint to the specific process with with its physical context. Here's a Kubernetes, here's a Linux machine. It's hosting a Kubernetes cluster. There is a Docker container involved Kubernetes port and I can directly jump to the depth specific Python process and see its metrics I can directly judge the health. And if you are talking about like really, really taking this with the distributed aspect beyond what I just said, if you want to make infrastructure correlation you will need some additional help, but it's perfectly possible. It's actually support is it's it's the reason why distributed tracing exists. Yeah. That's all for questions. Any, any other questions. I just see that we have five minutes left. No further questions. Great. That does this either mean it was too much information or you're all busy googling of telemetry right now which is our positioning against diner trade. Okay, now we are getting to the, to the heart pressure. Since we're not focusing on competitive positioning here I would rather like to take the discussion offline. So my current info are available if you want to have that discussion. Hit me up. Well, thank you so much to Martin and said you're further time today and thank you to all the participants who joined us. As a reminder this recording will be on the Linux foundation YouTube page later today. And we hope you're able to join us for future webinars. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for joining.


Welcome back to News Now on PLOS TV in Africa. Two groups in Keduna State, Global Pace Development and International Alert, are set to build free, safe spaces and referral centers for women and girls who have survived or treated sexual and gender-based violence in Maraban Rideau community in the state. The Programme Office of Global Pace Development, Yusuf Baba, said survivors around the Goyen challenges in the society without help. They are put to rest and to speak out and report cases so that victims can get justice and punishment will be meted out to perpetrators. We want to also see how we can utilize social support in terms of counselling. Those that are survivors that are affected by the issue of LGBT, sexual and gender-based violence in the community. The issue of rape, some of them they always remain silent. They don't want to come out and say it because of the issue of fear and stereotypical intimidation. I encourage them when you have issues, when you are affected, you come out and report the issue so that you will be able to find the appropriate channel to be able to take off from there so that you get justice. Give this first so that we need to develop on our community.  So that when we give them the awareness, this thing will stop and we appreciate that. I mentioned straight forward is that we tell our young men, young women that when this is come to all, we should not play with you, we should come and put our heads together and work on them to get empowerment for all these things. Community have donated a place for this project. A safe place for SGVB survivors and also to protect the survivors from stigmatization. Actually, we are happy about it. If this came to be in place, the community, as a youth leader in the community, definitely we must give our full support to make sure that this approaches.


Linda was sick She and her husband waited for the test results The phone call from the hospital came Linda The doctor wants to see you face-to-face Linda was terrified Linda and a bruise listen as the doctor explains that she has a stage four Maninoma, what is that? Linda It's cancer It's very very serious from that moment Linda's life and Her family's life drastically changed So Why am I here? I'm so nervous speaking a second language and I'm giving a tech talk Chris is very nice to say baby. Don't worry. You will be fine.   Can you show me your hands? How would you feel? What would you do? Fight you will fight You will do anything possible to save them to save the people we love so Through my work with the WA Hope Foundation I know many of people afflicted with disease like Parkinson's autism cancer cerebral palsy they think they they have a no chance But they are wrong Thanks to breakthrough new medicine. They have a chance So today I'm here because I think Ted is about making a better world for our children so I believe that there is Hope Linda story just one of many. Let me continue for 18 months She tried everything She had a radiation therapy chemo therapy gamma-knife therapy for her brain tumor Multiple surgeries all in an effort to eliminate the cancer, but it didn't work After each treatment new cancer was found so in the end the doctor said to her Linda I'm sorry Linda was so desperate. She thought she was going to die In one final effort to save Linda's life She started clinical trials for a new cancer treatment this treatment to purify the cancer cells from the exercise the tumors and Primes the immune system to recognize and attack those cells The difference is we are targeting That patients or own cancer stem cells cancer stem cells are the origin of new tumors So this treatment decreases or eliminates new tumor growth So this time for Linda it worked No new tumor developed and the tumors already inside her body began to shrink After one year she was cancer-free five years later. She's still alive So this treatment is safe and effective most important It is applicable to other types of cancer. Do I have time? Okay? Let me tell you another story about the Tian Sanjin This boy is a four-year-old former Zheng Zhou China He has a cerebral palsy when his parents brought him to see a doctor He couldn't stop drooling and he could barely speak what words he did make was slurred and His movement on the left side of his body Was stiff and his limbs Grow tight. He couldn't play like the other kids So his father kneeling on the floor Touching his forehead to the ground and Back the doctors Please Please help my boy So last year WA Hope Foundation put Tian Sanjin into a clinical trials for a cutting-edge stem cell therapy After the first treatment His drooling stopped. His language ability increased significantly and His left side stiffness was reduced and his arm and legs were able to Ungrow. He began to laugh Imagine Tian Sanjin's parents' happiness at first results happiness that will be natural to any parent of a sick child Happiness that will be perhaps even more profound in a one-child policy China For me, these are exciting stories. These are emotional stories These are stories worth spreading They come from the heart My heart, I hope you can see the passion and the hope I have. Thanks. Thank you


Welcome back to another exciting episode of Come Again. We're all geek culture collides. We're your hosts. I'm Shannon. I'm John Weiss. And we're doing something a little bit different this week. We're going to be doing news in a flash and kind of reviews in podcast format. And if we like the way this turns out, we may start doing the news and episode reviews and everything in podcast format. We'll be uploading it to YouTube as well as a podcast website. I believe it's a cast cloud or something. I'll double check on that. But he's getting charged. I don't know if I can clue what the hell he's talking about. So in news this week, John, you want to... So this is a good microphone? Yeah. It can hear everything I'm doing? Yeah. By far did it'll pick it up? Yeah. Okay. Future reference. So all right. Well, some awesome news. We need some awesome news. And this is pretty awesome. So the CW has renewed Arrow. DC's Legend of Morrow. The Flash. Supergirl. And Supernatural. Really Supernatural? Yeah. Shouldn't that show have ended already? All right. And Supernatural. I like it. I know what you're doing. Also, Matt Ryan's Constantine is finally returning to television as an animated series on the CWC. Which is cool. Now, the CWC, that also has another show, right? It has the... It has Vixen. Vixen. So this is something I haven't had a chance to check out yet. So I have the app. I have the app. I just haven't really checked it out. So it's going to be cool. Now, do they show old episodes of Constantine? Like the first season? You know, I'm not sure. Because I still need to check out the first season. I think they do. Hopefully with the returning series, which I'm assuming is going to take place in the same world as the first season. I'm sure it will. Just animated. Yeah. So hopefully we'll get some good ones. So that's one. Hitting the table. It picks up that sound. Don't hit the table? Yeah. Like that? Yeah. Don't do this. Right. Or that. Okay. The CW is upcoming Flash and Supergirl musical crossover episode. Now this is the one that's supposed to be directed by Josh Whedon. Right. And it's going to take place at the towards the end of the season when we come back from break. It's going to be called one more or no. Once more with feeling. Yeah. Get your words. No, it's going to take inspiration from the once more with feeling. Buffy the Vampire musical episode that Josh Whedon did. But this one is the villain is going to be the music meister.  Yeah. Right. Now here's what would be cool. Why it just would have been a perfect opportunity for Josh Whedon to bring in say Sarah Michelle Giller. Right.  My drink. Give me my drink.  I'm talking. Distracting me. This has been a perfect opportunity to bring in Sarah Michelle Giller for the episode. Not necessarily as Buffy, but it's a Buffy type character.  Yeah. Maybe get David Boyani's in there somehow. As an angel like character, not angel, but you know, they've been awesome. I've heard just opportunity loss. How about how about Sarah Michelle Giller, a star girl. David Boyani says Green Lantern. No, I said a Buffy like character and an angel like character.  Oh, OK. So like Buffy could be like not Buffy, but fluffy. And angel could obviously be, you know, not angel, but demon, demon, demon, two M's. Say it would have worked. It totally would have worked. Totally lost opportunity.  Also Ben Affleck. Affleck. And it says Affleck. Affleck. Fleck. Maybe backing out of directing and writing the Batman movie. Which sucks because I've been looking forward to it. And this all came about because not a lot of people liked the route they went with Batman vs Superman. Which wasn't his fault. Yeah, right. And his latest movie didn't really do well at the box office. Didn't get very well critical. Did he direct the bat? I believe so, yeah. OK, here's the problem with that. One, that's the type of movie I should have interesting because I love that era.   I don't know. Everybody needs a, are we recording? Yeah, it is still recording. It just went black. I don't know. The whole thing just looks confusing as all hell. It's not the type of movie a lot of people are into to begin with. It's a select few. And he's been frickin' athlep. What movie he does, he's done that has not been good. This is the first. Right, right. Even Daredevil was good. Yeah, he was awesome. I mean, a lot of people didn't like it, but I loved it. OK, screw what you have to say about Ben Affleck's Daredevil. He did an awesome job. Don't blame him for a bad movie. I even liked Joe Pobbly Otto, probably the Goonies guy as Ben Yurick. I think that was a good cast.  So we had the pause for check stuff out. So we're going to continue here. So we just mentioned Ben Affleck might be leaving Batman. So moving on. Oh, we have a script.  It's not really a script.  All right. So despite the character already love. We got serving his purpose on the show. Just like the screen says. That's not a script at all. Jerome Velasca will be coming back to Gotham. And it's going to start out with the cult of the Joker. Well, the group will evolve into the cult of the Joker. But yeah. I thought that already started. I thought that already hints of it starting. There were hints right after he supposedly died. But yeah. This is when I'll probably start watching Gotham again. Honestly for the Mad Hatter. When the Mad Hatter revealed that Mad Hatter was going to be on there. I was all excited. I was excited who they got to play Mad Hatter. And then I found out.  Who was stalking his sister because he loved her. I wanted to.  Right. That was too much I think. Because I had nowhere in the comics was that ever hinted at. I don't know why they couldn't have stuck with the more animated series type of origin. Yeah. That would have if they wanted to go that route. Exactly. But putting incest in the origin was just I don't think. Demented. It was demented. I don't think it was really his character. So that's when I stopped watching. I just thought it was ridiculous. Yeah. But now they're bringing Jerome back. And everybody loves Jerome. Yeah. There's a spinoff series right there. Jerome. No. Everybody loves Jerome. Yeah. Come on J-Dog. Let's work some havoc. We can bring Jazz's character back from Fresh Prince. And Harley has a love interest. Right.  Yeah. That'd be a good idea. So where are we at? We have the next Child's Play movie.  It should have with Seed of Chucky. No. It should have with the third one. But I liked the route they went with Curse of Chucky. I should have had the third one. It's not being Child's Play after the third one. But this was really cool. Curse of Chucky kind of went back to the whole Child's Play. That's what I haven't seen. I haven't seen. The last one I saw was Bride. Well, Curse of Chucky. I don't know. I mean Curse of Chucky, it brought, it was supposed to have brought everything back to like the first movie. It did. It's supposed to have that feel of the first movie. It did. The scares. And after the post-credits scene of Curse of Chucky, they brought Andy back. The original Andy. Was it the same actor? Same actor. From the first movie. From the first movie. Very cool. And that. Well this one's going to be called Cult of Chucky. And it began production already on January 9th. So it's going to be have a fall release. No theatrical release. Straight to the ring. The last theatrical with Seed, right? I think the last theatrical was Bride of Chucky. Was it? Yeah. Okay. Unfortunately, John Ritter was in that movie.  I would have, I've read this before. This has been known for a couple of weeks now actually. I think, I would like to have seen his pitch. I think Moon Knight would do better as a TV series. Netflix. Well that's the idea now. I think this was before it was announced that Netflix was going to do a Moon Knight series. Which is going to be interesting because Moon Knight, if you're not familiar with the character, he's a schizophrenic. He talks to the Moon. Which is odd because Marvel slash Fox Studios is bringing out another schizophrenic character TV series that starts later this or next month called Legion. Yeah. Which is the son of Professor Xavier. He's the one that started the whole age of apocalypse storyline. But there won't really be a connection to Xavier and the X-Men in the series. They're supposed to be. No, they're supposed to be. Oh, there is? Yeah. They're supposed to be a connection. Well, let's say I heard, I've heard there was supposed to be a connection. And you're hearing there wasn't supposed to be. This is Fox.  All right. A movie, a group of movie executives just partnered with Rob Liefeld. You know Rob Liefeld. The artist who brought us those horrible pictures of in the 90s. Big breasted Captain America. Well, he did Deadpool though. Yeah, he did. But some of his 90s work, the characters he drew had like super long legs that didn't match up with their bodies. The chest didn't match up. And when I'm talking about big chested women here, we're talking about the males too. Yeah, not just the chest, but the abs too. Like you mean Captain America's waist lined up. Like why did he, they can't see you do that. I watched kind of fish this big. But no, like the 80s, he rocked the 80s.  I like how he does faces.  I like how Liefeld does faces. Check out Captain America Rebirth. I believe he did those. That's where we have the big chest of Captain America.    Or Captain America on steroids. Yeah. Well anyways, Liefeld and Goldschmidt. Right. To bring the comic book Extreme Universe to the big screen and a deal that nets Liefeld upwards of seven figures.  I don't know. I've never heard of it. Do I have any of those? Do you think? I don't think so. If you do, I guess we could. If I do, they might be in the dollar box. You could showcase them when the movie comes out. Yeah, direct a video.   Right. So we got some comic book stuff here. Yeah. We got the 1966 Batman meeting the 1977 Wonder Woman. Right. In the synopsis. Are we really reading all the synopsis? No. We're not reading the human one. No, no.  So go ahead. All right. The synopsis for this one. What mysteries are hidden in the book? Ryosal Ghul hired Catwoman to steal. And why does the caper lead Batman down memory lane to his childhood fight against actual nothing? Witness the Caper Crusader's first encounter with one of the greatest heroes the world has ever known. Wonder Woman. So Batman 66, Adam West Batman. Meeting the little Nick Carter Wonder Woman from 1977. This is going to be kind of a sequel to Batman 66 meets the man from Uncle. Ah, see I miss that one. The only one I have is Batman 66 meets Green Hornet. I have that one. I have hardcover. See, I watched the actual shows. I had that show too. Yeah. Which for those of you who don't know, that I like to brag about quite a bit. My cousin was actually on two episodes of the 1966 Batman series. Shoot this. Shoot the crooked arrow. Walk the straight and narrow. What those the Robin Hood villain? No, it was the shame episodes. It was the one. Yeah, it was the one. It was the two shame episodes. He was the character who was an auditor for the Wayne Foundation. And he talked kind of like, yeah, yeah, like that. Kind of like you do expect old gangsters to. Yeah, yeah, gonna make you wear some ensues. See. Well, kind of a cross between that and the stereotype called British accent. Well, I thought he was in. I thought when I looked him up, I thought it was in the shame episodes with Cliff Robertson, which those of you who don't know, Cliff Robertson played Uncle Ben in the same Rammy Spiderman films. And that wasn't his first go with comic books. His first go with comic books was the 1966 Batman TV series. He played the cowboy villain, Shane. No, this was in the episode with the archer. The archer. Yeah, the green, the Robin Hood dude. Right. Okay. Right. But he didn't play the Robin Hood dude. No, he was in the episode with the archer. Okay, right. The archer only showed up, I believe, two episodes. And for those of you who don't know, his name is Robert Cornthwaite.  That's true. Extremely. He passed away a few years ago. I think it is 2008. Now, do you have the 1966 Batman series on? My brother-in-law has it on Voodoo, which we share accounts, so I can... That's how I finally got a chance to see him on the way. I have the Deluxe Blue Ray set. I've been looking for those episodes. I haven't gotten to them yet. But Robert also starred as the doctor, not Doctor Who, but as the doctor in The Thing from Another World that was eventually remade by John Carpenter. That's cool. What was he in that movie? He was the scientist who kept trying to stop the military from getting the alien. He dyed his hair blonde for the role. Interesting fact, he actually became an actor in Hollywood because of my great-grandpa. I guess my great-grandpa... Also an actor? No, my great-grandpa had borrowed some money from him and didn't pay him back. And they got into this huge falling out and Robert went out to California and got his start in acting. Because that was his dad? No, no. They were, I think, first or second cousins.  Yeah, pretty much. What did they have to do with being pissed off at him? They just had this huge falling out? Like living together or...? No, no, they just... They were really close, I guess. So they just couldn't stand being in the same town together? Pretty much. Well, I don't think Robert actually lived here in town because he was from Pennsylvania, I believe, originally. And he came here to see my great-grandpa and my great-grandma and all of them. And then he loaned my great-grandpa some money. My great-grandpa didn't pay him back. So they had a huge falling out. He went out to Hollywood and became a famous actor.  Oh, right. You know what?  Because I have to do with the money I own you. I don't know. This sounds like a good idea.  Now this is just hearsay. This is what I've heard from through family stories from my mom and my grandparents and all that. And why would they lie? All right, exactly. Especially something as my great-grandpa... I didn't mean that sarcastically. I mean, why would they lie? Right, especially something like my great-grandpa owing someone money and refusing to pay him back. But do you have a reason to refuse? I don't know. I don't know. No, I haven't. Anyway, this Batman Wonder Woman book is on sale on January 18th. Yeah. Maybe I'll get some copies. Maybe I'll get any copies. That'd be nice. So Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, number 14, the quest for the Blue Lantern. For those of you who don't know, St. Walker gave up being a Blue Lantern because I almost had Blue Ranger. You did. I wish we had some Power Ranger. Right. He gave up being a Blue Lantern when he thought when he thought that Kyle Rainer died at the Sword Swall. So he lost all hope. Kyle Rainer was kind of like his best friend. And so he lost all hope. This was even after the fact he lost his family and everything. He still had hope. And then it takes the depth of the White... Death of Kyle Rainer, the White Rainer. Who's still alive? Right. He and Hal Jordan go off. So this is the Lantern they're looking for. They're looking for St. Walker. Right. For a harrowing quest to bring hope back to the cosmos, tasked with finding the Blue Lantern Corps and restoring it to full power. Which right now, St. Walker is the only... the only Blue Lantern. I think all the others just kind of... Or a Ganthe. And I'll say it. Yeah. Ganthe inside were banished. They were banished from the Green Lantern Corps. They started the Blue Lantern Corps. They were banished by Sinestro. When Sinestro wiped out the Guardians, he spared them because he knew that Ganthe didn't really have a choice because he was lobotomized by the Guardians. Yeah.  So... Ah, sounds like Sinestro. Yeah, he's come a long way under Jeff Johns. Yeah. Well, he didn't... Not from Jeff Johns, he's writing him anymore, but Jeff Johns gave him a more of a... He's a bad guy as far as when he's against the Green Lanterns and the Guardians, but you kind of see that maybe he has the right. Yeah.  I mean, his run, the Guardians were essentially the hidden bad guys of the entire run. And I kind of liked that. It's like, what happens when you give too much power to... Exactly. And that was just really, really cool. Anyway, that issue is out now. No, it's not. It's just February 8th. Oh, yeah. I got my months mixed around. Jesus Christ, dude, don't jump the gun. You're going to jump the gun. You're going to jump the gun to make it march.  So He-Man and Thundercats number four is the battle you've been waiting to see with the ancient spirits of evil. Uh, Mum-Ra. Rabbidgy Nitornia. Lionel rushes to the gate of the Masters universe and defending their world. The only extending in their way is He-Man. They have a battle between the superhero 1980s icons, breaks loose, has to sort of power clashes with the sort of omens. This one you do not want to miss. This one comes out January 18th. And I did read the first issue.  I don't know details.  But yeah, no, the first issue was really cool. There was nothing outside for that. Oh, there wasn't? No, I thought there was. No, first issue was really cool. They peeked my entrance. I love the artwork, especially the covers. So yeah, make sure you check it out. I have issues two and three. They finally came in yesterday. So I'll be reading them later on. This is a must read story. That's all we can say for those of you haven't seen it on Facebook online. This is the story. If you're a fan of the DC He-Man and Master Universe comics that they've been doing for the last couple years, you're going to love this. If you're a Thundercats fan, you're going to love this. If you're a He-Man fan, you're going to love this. If you're a World He-Man, Thundercats fan, you're going to love this.  The only thing I want to see now after this is I want to see a Thundercats Silver Hawk comic. We were supposed to get that crossover in the new Thundercats anime series.  No, Netflix has to take over young justice just for the series. Yeah, because Cartoon Network, they're a big problem. Why they don't get ratings on certain shows? They didn't follow it. It's not the ratings. The ratings were awesome. Their issue was it wasn't selling action figures. Here's the reason why the Thundercats weren't selling action. You put it on late at night. No, kids aren't going to watch it. No, the Thundercats was on at like 7 o'clock on the weekend. That's fine. Kids on the weekend usually allowed us to step to like nine, mostly, you know, good parents. I was spoiled. My mom let me stay up pretty much as late as I wanted to, as long as I had to go to school the next day. That's the way it might be. But no, the reason why Thundercats didn't last is because they didn't sell the action figures. The acts now had they made good quality action figures. Fine. But the action figures sucked. Okay. Well, another problem with Netflix or not Netflix, but Cartoon Network is they never, they don't really keep the same time schedule. For shows that don't care about the shows. If they haven't created the show, they can give two shits about it. The only reason why Teen Titans Go is on right now, because they canceled Green Lantern in their animated series, which I had nothing to do with except putting it out, saying what the Thundercats is because that's their show. Right. It's their show. Yeah, that's basically it. They didn't have a hand in creating the Green Lantern in the series. They didn't have a hand in creating Young Justice. They didn't have a hand in creating Thundercats. So they really did He-Man Master Universe when they brought them out back in 2001, I think 2002. They didn't have a hand in those. It wasn't their shows. So they gave two shits about it. Right. So they used the excuse like, okay, well the action figures aren't selling.  We got very few of the other basic figures in the line. Stores were overloaded. Stores stopped ordering them because they weren't selling anymore now. The show is going to end. Cancel Young Justice. Whereas back in the 80s has done, right. He-Man and Skeletor, they were getting the actual... You were always able to find a He-Man and Skeletor. Yes, but they... It wasn't the actual He-Man. You were also able to find Telos. You were also able to find Fistos. You were able to find, you know. But the majority of the time, the He-Man and the Skeletor you could find back then was like the battle damage ones. I was never able to find the actual, you know, Bear Chested He-Man or the Bear Chested Skeletor. See, I had no problem finding any versions of those He-Man. Young Justice. Same issue. The action figures, which were five points of articulation, they were meant for kids. Guess what? This show was not going to attract just kids. It was going to attract... Exactly. So it's had they brought out two separatory lines. One for the five point articulation for the kids. One for multiple articulation for the adults. It might have actually succeeded. The toys might have actually sold. And the series would have continued. Because the toys sucked and they didn't... You know, they was like, okay, those aren't selling. And the show. Right. Thundercats. Same thing. And I didn't catch Thundercats in the original run. I caught it when it was on Streampix on... And it was a really good show. It was really good. It was, it was, dare I say, better than the original series. See, I don't even remember the original series. But even though I have the box set at home... I have all four volumes. I haven't actually sat down and watched... Well, let's put this way. I can't get past the second season of Thundercats. I just sounded like about the second season. I was born as the Halimex. Didn't like it. I was able to finish this first season of the new Thundercats. No problem. Right. So, I mean, when you rely on just the action... Now, because the ratings on those shows were amazing. Every time you were able to find the show, it always out blew away a lot of the other shows that they were showing. But because the action figures weren't selling... I mean, for example, we're on Thundercats. Let's stay on that. They had one, I believe, one play set. It was a Tower of Omens. This play set was literally a piece of solid plastic tower and a gate that made maybe one or two noises. That's it. It wasn't really a play set. It was a backdrop to show your action figures on. It was basically what it... It was not a play set. The Thunder Tank was cool. That was about it. They were supposed to come out with Nomron's Thunder Tank. I don't know if they did. I saw it on the back of the box. It was really the only thing I was interested in getting. I never saw it in the store. So, yeah. I think when I was a kid, I had all that stuff. Well, the older stuff. Yeah, you know, the fact that they canceled these shows because of the lack of extra free egg you're selling. So, it ruins these. Yeah, so. That was the news. We'll be back here. That was the news in a flash. How long were we at? Over a half hour. Yeah, about half an hour. We'll be back continuing the podcast. Just... What are we talking about next? What you started talking to me about was that you were... Stranger Things? Yeah, finally getting Cynthia to watch Stranger Things. Yeah, that's going to be a short conversation. We'll talk about my introduction to the BBC show, Sherlock. Oh, yeah. I'm interested in your opinions on there. I want to go over a little bit of my new live podcast. I'll be doing on Facebook called The Pit. And then we'll do a video on a beginner's guide to comic book collecting. This has to actually be done on video. We can't do it a podcast format because you guys need to actually see what we're talking about. My brother gave me the idea for this because he's starting to get into comic books and he wasn't sure what to start getting into. So, we're going to go overall what you need to look forward and why you can't just come into the store here and say, I want to sell you this for 50 bucks because that's what I saw it for on eBay. So, stay tuned, guys. All right, guys, we're back. And so, tell me what you're talking to me about before with... Okay, so I don't have internet at home. All I have is my phone, unlimited data. So, that's how I watch Netflix and WD Network. But that doesn't help my girlfriend when she comes over. She wants to watch a movie on Netflix. We can't because I don't watch on my phone. We find out there's an adapter you can get that you can plug into an ethernet cable on one end and then an ethernet cable to your TV. There's even a spot on the adapter so you can charge your phone. Nice. Down here while you're... And then this end goes into it. It's a lightning cable. Oh, nice. Put the iPhones in that. Yeah, it's like... It's hard to describe it.  Probably about as thin as the phone itself. It's like 50 or 60 bucks then. Yeah. It's expensive. It's got two ports on one end. One end to the ethernet cable. The other one's for a lightning charger. Light for your charger for your iPhone. And then the other one plugs the other end. Plugs directly where you would charge your phone. And you plug the other end to the other end of your ethernet port on your TV. And your screen, your entire screen on your iPhone will show up on your TV screen. I may have to get one of them. It's kind of cool. Like if you don't have internet or you just want to get rid of your internet and use Netflix or get rid of your cable and get Netflix, that's perfect.  So you introduce... But yeah, we got this and we got this because we got tired of not being able to watch movies.  But sometimes we want to watch something, for instance, Stranger Things. She's been wanting to watch Stranger Things because she's been hearing everybody talk about it. It was really good. Well, we went ahead and I showed her the first episode. The plan was to watch the first episode, maybe the second episode and go to bed and stuff. Well, we ended up watching the first four episodes. Same thing me and Liz did. And she wanted to watch the fifth one when she started getting tired and she wanted to fight it. But I know she was in the past now. We've been watching the fifth episode all over again. So I had the force to stop and she loves it. I like to do it. It's done really good. I can't wait for season two. I can't wait for season two. If you haven't watched Stranger Things, it really is a callback to everything 80s. It takes place in what 83? Yeah. I think 83. It opens up with these group of kids playing Dungeons and Dragons, which immediately got my interest. It's got a very, even the title, the font. It's got a very Stephen King, E.T. Like a Twin Peaks type of feel to the whole thing. Right. See, I've never seen Twin Peaks. I didn't either, but it sounded good. I started, I watched the first episode of Twin Peaks. And I got tired of watching the whole thing on my little phone. Now that I have this. See, my wife likes Twin Peaks. We've actually got the DVDs at home. I don't have the DVDs. I'm Netflix. And they're getting ready to come out with a new series. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I did. It's going to have the same characters and actors in it. But yeah, no, this thing's pretty cool. I also started watching some things. You can go online, like you normally would on your phone. You can watch YouTube on there or show up on your screen.  I watched WWE Network the other day, yesterday on it. So I mean, yeah, it's pretty cool little adapter. It's probably nothing new. It's probably been out for a couple of years, if not longer. I'm just now finding out about it. It's usually how it happens. I didn't even watch Stranger Things until I kind of forced myself to see what all the fuss was about like several months later. Because I'm not the type of person who usually falls with trends or, you know. There's a big buzz about it. Like there's a big positive buzz. So if I don't see or hear anything negative about it, like Stranger Things, you hear everybody on Netflix. So this is awesome. You got to check it out. You got to check it out. Even the reviews sites were like, you got to check this out. I'll do it. I'll go ahead and check it out. So I did that with Sea Biscuit too. I know nobody, all people remember that movie? Yeah. A lot of people, after the movie came out, they were like, ah, Sea Biscuit. When the movie first came out, they were like, check this out. It was a big contender. And I liked them. I thought it was a good movie. Is that good reviews or something? I'll check it out. Where'd you get this water from? Walmart. Good luck finding them. They have Orange Mander and they have Graves.  It's the lemon. Apparently nobody does it always on the shelf. You'd think the lemon would taste like lemonade. They got like a fruit punch type deal. We're not going to give the company that makes it. It's Nestle. Okay. I guess we will get it. It's called Nestle Splash. But it's flavored like orange juice. Yeah. They're six in a pack and they're like $2.50, I think. $2.50, $2.50, something like that. No, $1.50. $1.50 for six bottles. So last night, after seeing it for in my suggested, suggested watch list for a while and everything and hearing about it and you having the figure in here for a while. So it's still here. Yeah. I decided to check out. Because you're watching. No, I can't. How much is it? $1.50. And what's factory goof? I know that but I'll pass on that right now. Press negotiable. We can work ahead. We can hackle. Huggle. But the BBC's Sherlock. See, and I think I'm all caught up on it. Where are you at? I'm like episode three. So what season? Or no, I'm. Your episode three is the first season. Actually, I'm at the last episode of the first season. Because each season is only three episodes. But each episode is like a movie. An hour and a half long, yeah. It's funny that you mentioned that you thought it's rather a minority because I think that was the intention. I thought it was really good. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. I am too. I love that. Which is why I was so hesitant of watching it. Because I knew that they were doing it as an update. It took place in present day. And with season one, it was very strongly hinted that Sherlock was a drug addict. But they didn't. Right. They hinted at it once or twice. And we're looking for drugs. Are you kidding? Have you not met this man? You think there would be drugs? And when you get to it, this is the last one they've done. Because they're getting ready, I think, this year to come out with season four. They did a Christmas episode a few years ago. And that one, you actually, he takes place in that era where Sherlock is supposed to take place. And so his drug addiction is strongly right there. Nice. So for those of you who don't know, there were many, there was a ton of black backlash with this whenever the movie came out a few years ago. And they actually had Robert Downey Jr. doing the drugs and everything in the movie. Not in real life. Well, it did not anymore. But what's in the book, he was a heroin addict. Yeah. And it was to kind of calm his brain down. It wasn't just to do the drugs just to get off or whatever.  Because his brain, it was constantly working. His brain is constantly working. So for those who are wondering, it is Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock. And it is Martin Freeman as Watson. Which, if that sounds familiar at all to you, more recently, it's because of Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr. Strange in Marvel movies. And Martin Freeman plays a British agent dude. And so in Civil War. Okay. So there needs to be, and then of course, Robert Downey Jr. playing Sherlock. So there needs to be some type of a Sherlock reference coming in the adventure. They don't, it's a lost opportunity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I thought it was done really well. I really like how they handled John Watson. How they made his limp and his need for the cane. Psychosomatic. So that was very well done. Their relationship too is, I love their banter back and forth. Yeah, it's not really like it was portrayed in the two movies to that extent. But it does stay fairly true to the books. Which I'm going to have to go back and rearrange the books. It stays true to the books with, of course, the modern day twists. And you know that first episode, I knew, as soon as they said it, as a serial killer who hunts in public, or hunts in, I was like, it's got to be the taxi driver. They kind of foreshadowed it in the first few scenes where, you know, they kind of showed the taxi. And of course, familiar with the show, you know, sometimes we shoot out spoilers. Yeah. So sometimes without saying spoiler. Which by now, I'm sure people keep hitting that like, share, and comment button subscribe. And if you guys like the way I've been putting together these toy reviews lately with the origin story beforehand, and then like the last part of the video being the toy review, let us know. If you don't like it, let us know. We may change it. We may not. It just depends on kind of response. I kind of thought I got the idea to do it that way, because a lot of the channels that do toy reviews don't really do that. They'll give like a brief rundown of the character. But if you want to know the backstory and everything, you got to go to another channel or look it up or whatever. A video. Right. So I figured I'd do the research, kind of combine the whole pixel Dan and comics explained in one. For those wondering who Pixel Dan is, it's Dan Yardley. He has a YouTube channel called Pixel Dan. And he does, he's a toy reviewer. I'll admit that's where I get a lot of my techniques from. And he actually lives about 45 minutes to an hour away from us. Yeah. So I don't know if he wants everybody to know where he is, but yeah, from where we live, he lives about 45 minutes away. Which would be very cool if we could get him on the show at some point. He's a really cool guy. I've talked to him just recently. I messaged him about the Star Wars ad act vehicle, which I'm seriously thinking about bringing in and reviewing. It's a really cool, it's a new ad act. It's from the Rogue One movie. It's an ad ad except it's a more of a transport unit. And you can operate it obvious and buttons on the back or you can operate it with your phone. Make it move, make it shoot the darts. Because it has to shoot out dirt darts. Just a little laser cannons. So it's kind of cool. You can program it to do multiple things. And then just hit go and it'll do it. So it's pretty cool toy. By the way, John, I've been meaning to mention, have you been losing weight, man? I see you're back into the non pajama pants.   I don't know if I'm losing weight. You kind of look like you're losing weight a little bit. Thank you. I haven't weighed myself in a while. I'm afraid to. That's a good thing. I'm afraid to. I don't know why it was last time. I don't know why it was last time. I've been trying to eat a little better. Right. I'm not maybe not eating an entire half pound burger at once. Maybe maybe half to half pound burger. So I haven't really been exercising. I need to get back into that. Well, we haven't really had the weather for though. It's been really crazy. I still go to the mall. My girlfriend's trying it out. You can use your treadmill. You have a treadmill.    Same with an elliptical. I would rather just go to the mall and walk around the mall. Or you can do like some of the older ladies do. Go to Walmart at like six or seven o'clock in the morning.   But I go like late at night. Like you know after everybody's gone.  Yeah.    We went to about three years ago. I think it was three years ago. We always go to Chicago for my birthday. Either the weekend before my birthday or my birthday. Depends on when the day it lands on. And we like when the Lagos do up there in Orleans Square Mall. And we went up there one time and I'm not kidding. I'm not even exaggerating. It was literally shoulder to shoulder. I mean honestly I think it should have been a fire marshal call. And then I'm not kidding. It was not exaggerated shoulder to shoulder. I was like you know what? This is the last time we're going like anywhere new before Christmas. So we did get to go this past Saturday. We went. Because we didn't get to go this. We didn't get to go for my birthday in December because we had some ice storms. And then Christmas was the following weekend.  So we went to Saturday. Got to go to Lagos store. Got to see some awesome. I got to actually see the Ghostbuster Headquarters Lagos set. Nice.  Because I got the car which displayed here at the store. Right. I want it. And the guy found that saw the new Death Star Lagos place at. The guy could have a Disneyland castle place at. That's kind of cool looking. Very cool. And I'm here with Herbert and Skeletor. So how many people are listening? I don't know Herbert. You got any young boys out there? Maybe. I think our age range is. Excuse me. Between 35 and 45. And then I think we have a few that watch who are older teenagers.  You need some more young ones in there. I thought that was your job. All right Skeletor. So last week John did a review. On the 2000 X He-Man figure. What did you think of that?  What do you mean? What is my figure? It's coming next week. Or this week actually. Skeletor should be number one. Then why do you always get beat by He-Man? I let him. You let him? Well think about it. If He-Man defeats evil defeats good forever. Then you know I might be out of a job. That's true. What do you think about? Mastermind. What do you think about the classics toy line from Mattel? I love it. Needs more Skeletor figures. Do you think we've been doing a pretty good job of representing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Come Again? Too good. Not enough evil masters. Okay so who would you suggest that we bring on to the show to kind of balance things out? Skeletor. Always. Well I thought that's what we're doing right now. I should be in charge of the show. I'm in charge of the show.  Oh yeah Skeletor. Hey guys if you like this video make sure you hit that like button. Maybe put a comment below and hit that subscribe button.

The bigger question, I think, is the replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Now I was thinking the other day about what the October surprise would be for this election, whether it's some vaccine that Trump rolls out or a clash with the Chinese navy in the South China Sea. And as I was thinking of what it might be, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, and I realized this is the October surprise. This, perhaps more than anything, her passing is a lightning rod for the culture wars. It reinforces the idea that this is a visceral culture war election. I think that in the next few days, President Trump will nominate possibly as early as today, nominate a replacement. My guess is it will be either Amy Coney Barrett or Barbara Nagoa, both of whom are very conservative justices on the federal appeals courts, both of whom would make it very clear that they are in support of overturning Roe v. Wade. So we would be getting down to the most motivating issue there for conservative evangelical and Catholic right, which is ending a federal abortion right. And we would be breaking all precedent by having this pushed through in six weeks before the election. If Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican leader wanted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Supreme Court, but before the election, he could, assuming he had his party with him. So it might well boil down to, can you peel away for, well, it would boil down to, can you peel away for Republican senators to uphold the rules of the game and say, look, this isn't fair. We should wait until the American people have spoken and decided who their new president is. If it is Trump, then we can confirm her most likely after polling day in the lame duck session. If it isn't Trump, then we should wait until January the 20th. That is something I expect Mitt Romney will say. And I think Susan Collins of Maine has said that, Lisa Mikowski, you need one more. And we don't know whether that will happen. The pressure on Republicans to vote for the nominee is going to be acute. The liberal backlash, should it happen, will I think be equally acute. It will then be extremely hard for Biden to resist the factions that are arguing. In that case, the moment we get in power, we should expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to 13. And we will just nominate and confirm four liberal justices within the first week. And I think it would be, it would be, I hate to use a cliche, but it would be a Rubicon. America would be crossing at that point. There's nothing in the constitution that says how large the Supreme Court should be. It doesn't have to be nine. It's been as small as five over American history. It's been as large as 10. The only time that the president tried to change this was Franklin Roosevelt in 1937, known notoriously as the court packing incident, where he tried to pack the court because the court kept striking down aspects of the new deal. And he tried to pack the court and it blew up in his face. I think in these circumstances, if Trump and McConnell managed to confirm somebody like Amy Coney Barrett, it would be pretty hard for Biden to resist those forces saying we've just got to expand the size of the court. It's in our power. This is about power. We are students at the feet of Republicans. They know how power works. We need to learn from them.


Everyone's got a dark side, but it's up to us whether we let it control our actions. Encountering evil individuals can be a deeply unsettling experience, especially when we become aware of their true nature. People who are malicious and avoid dealing with their pain might resort to nasty tactics when they know you've figured out what they're really up to. Whether it's a toxic friend, a manipulative partner, or even a family member, it is important to unmask their manipulative tactics once they know you're onto them. By understanding these behaviors, you'll be better equipped to protect yourself, regain control, and maintain your mental well-being. So let's dive in. They twist the truth. When evil people know that you are aware of their true selves, they may resort to twisting the truth to protect their self-image. By twisting the truth, they attempt to manipulate the situation to their advantage. They'll either deny they did it or try to justify it. Realizing that you have uncovered their true nature makes them resort to minimization tactics where they downplay the harm they've caused, making it challenging for you to fully grasp the extent of their malevolence. However, staying grounded in your own truth and seeking clarity can help you navigate their deceptive tactics. Projection. When they know they're on the verge of being ousted by you, they love to fall back on projection tactics. An old and classic move. These individuals project their own negative traits onto others to avoid acknowledging their own faults. Toxic people make you feel that you are the problem, when in fact you are not the problem. By projecting their negative qualities onto you, they try to shift the blame away from themselves. Being self-aware and maintaining healthy boundaries can help you protect yourself from their projections. Their Woe is me victim role. Their central theme in life is poor me. When evil people know you have seen through their facade, they may adopt a Woe is me victim role. They may play the victim to illicit sympathy and manipulate others' perceptions. Recognizing this behavior can help you maintain empathy while also ensuring your own well-being. Providing them to take responsibility for their actions and seeking support from trusted individuals can be key in navigating this situation. Manipulative guilt. These individuals may employ manipulative guilt to control and manipulate your emotions. They wield guilt-tripping as a tool to make you feel responsible for their actions or to undermine your confidence. These guilt-trips always start small and over the long term their toxicity can build. It's their way of making you doubt yourself when all you're trying to do is to establish a more healthy dynamic. Recognizing this manipulation can help you establish healthy boundaries and prioritize your emotional well-being. If they refuse or try to make you feel even more guilty, Masai says the best thing to do in this situation is to protect yourself and leave. Isolation. Evil individuals when aware that you know their true nature may attempt to isolate you from others. They may use isolation as a means of maintaining control and power over you. Their goal is to make you dependent on them. Once an individual is isolated, they'll feel trapped and helpless. It is important to stay connected with trusted friends, family, or support groups during this time. Building a strong support system can provide you with the necessary strength and perspective to resist their attempts at isolation. Exploit. When evil individuals realize you are aware of their true selves, they may try to exploit your vulnerabilities. They may manipulate your weaknesses to gain power and control. They use charm, guilt-tripping, or other manipulative techniques to maintain their control over you and prevent you from exposing their true selves. Recognizing your own strengths and vulnerabilities and seeking support from trusted individuals can help you protect yourself from their exploitative tactics.  Feeling threatened by your knowledge of their true nature, they can attempt to get back at you. They may seek revenge or try to inflict harm as a means of regaining control. They may even resort to aggression or hostility as a means of preserving their self-image and exerting control over the situation. Staying vigilant and maintaining your own emotional well-being are crucial in navigating this situation. Seeking support from legal authorities or professionals is important if you believe you may be facing a similar situation. But here's the thing about evil people. They may try, yet we have the power to stand strong, to expose their darkness and to protect ourselves with empathy and resilience. Recognizing the signs of manipulative behavior is the first step towards protecting yourself and reclaiming your power. Do you recognize any of these tactics in someone? Let us know. Thanks for watching.

Hi, my name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food.  On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty recipes using everyday ingredients. Hey guys, welcome back to another week of What's For Dinner. We have a few more days of the February Pantry Challenge to go, so let me show you what we are having for dinner tonight. So in my freezer, I had these two packages of hamburger patties that I got half-priced, so they were $5 each at Tom Thumb. So this one had four patties, and it is garlic peppercorn rub, and then this one also had four patties, brisket beef patties with bacon and barbecue rub. So Howard grilled them for us. So this one is the bacon, barbecue, and then this one is the garlic and peppercorn. So I am having the garlic peppercorn. I'm having some cheese puffs with it. The cheese puffs are from H-E-B, and then Howard has one of each burger, no cheese puffs for him. He has some cheese and avocado on there. I forgot to mention Howard grilled my bun. I like my bun grilled. He threw it out on the grill, and he did not grill his buns. He doesn't care for it. So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys, so I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. It is potato green bean and bacon soup. This is what it looks like. It only calls for a few simple ingredients, and I have everything except an onion. So I'm going to be using some onion powder. I didn't even realize I didn't have onion, but here is my bacon, my potatoes. It calls for four. I'm going to use three. That's what I have, and then here are my fresh green beans. So I'm going to start getting everything all prepped, and then I'll bring you guys back. Okay, so I cooked up my bacon, steamed my green beans, added them in there. I didn't have any yellow onion, as I mentioned, but then I remembered I had some green onion, so I used that instead, and that is in there. Whoops. What I'm doing now is adding in those potatoes that I cooked, and it said to slightly mash, so that's what I did, and just adding them to the pot now. And next I'm going to add in some milk and some heavy cream. I haven't added any seasoning, no salt or anything at this point. I want to taste everything first, so I'm just going to give this a good stir and then let it come to a simmer. So here is the soup. It is actually very good. I did end up adding salt and pepper to it, but I will make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. So this is what we're having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. All right, y'all, so the pantry challenge is officially over, but I'm still eating from my pantry trying to use up what we have. So we are having this spaghetti classics from Kraft. I fell in love with this a few months ago. I had a what's for dinner, and I tried out different grocery store dinner kits, and this kit was one of them, and I fell in love, so I stocked up on it. So we're having this for dinner tonight. It comes with a pasta. The only thing you have to add is meat, which is optional, and tomato paste. So we're having that. I'm serving it with a side salad, and this is a side salad. Side salad, it is from Aldi, and it's the Caesar salad kit. And then I'm serving a Kaiser roll on the side. I picked these up on clearance from Walmart, and all I did was split it in half, added some butter, and toasted it normally. I would add garlic, but I just didn't feel like going through all that trouble. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So I'm making biscuits and gravy for dinner today. In my skillet, I've got one pound of hot Jimmy Dean sausage, and to that, I'm adding two tablespoons of just some regular all-purpose flour, giving it a good stir. And I'm going to let this flour cook down or cook out for about five minutes. Okay, so it's been about five minutes. You can see that sausage has started to turn kind of dark brown. That's from that flour. I've been cooking it on medium heat. Now I'm adding three cups of half and half. Now you could also add milk, but half and half makes it richer. So I'm just pouring in that half and half. And at this point, you can go ahead and season how you'd like to. I am just using a little bit of black pepper. I'm not adding in any additional salt because we try to watch our salt intake. Just going to give it a stir, then I turn the burner down, and I'm going to let this simmer until it thickens up. Okay, so this has been simmering for about seven minutes. This is the texture that I'm looking for. It does still look a little bit loose, but as soon as I take it off the burner, it's going to start thickening up for me. Also, I wanted to mention the reason mine kind of has that reddish, orange-ish hue is because I did use spicy sausage, so it has those red pepper flakes in there. So if you use just regular sausage, yours isn't going to have this tint to it. But anyway, let me get everything all plated up, and I'll show you the final results. Okay, so here is dinner all plated up, serving it over some frozen biscuits. As you can see, biscuits and gravy are super easy to make. Years ago on our channel, I recorded a video on biscuits and gravy, but it's been so long ago, I just decided to include it in our dinner video this time. But anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So quick and easy dinner tonight. We are eating this pizza that I picked up from Sam's a long time ago. And you get two in a box, I didn't really care for them. Howard said they're okay, but we're just trying to finish what we've got in the freezer, so as you can see, it's pretty small. If it fits on a dinner plate, if that gives you any indication of how small this pizza is, I probably wouldn't buy it again. But anyway, this is what we are, and this is from Sam's if I didn't mention that. But this is what we're having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time.
