You're welcome back. What we're looking at now is gender inequality in politics being of development in Nigeria. That's a topic we'll be looking at this morning. That's our first hot topic for the day. And we have a guest who has joined us and will be talking on this topic. We're glad to be joined by Francaise Olysa Obonaya, broadcast journalist and woman in politics or in leadership advocate. Good morning and welcome to the program, Miss Obonaya. Well, right before Francaise joins us, which we hope will be in a very short while, there's also something that really interested us on the headlines of some dailies, and it was recently said. The Minister for Interior said something that really gladdens the heart of some of us. Ulubumi Tungiojo said that now visa, they are going to adopt principle of reciprocity in visa issuance. That is the kind of do me or do you kind of thing. If America, for instance, doesn't give us a visa freely or they have some bottlenecks that we have to pass through before we can get our visa, the American citizens that are seeking visa to Nigeria will also have the same. Imagine the audacity. So it means that we have something that other people want that we might not want to give to them if they do wrongly. Let's see if Francaise has joined us in the meantime, could us to the Minister of Interior for clearing the backlog of visas and all that. So Francaise Obonaya, broadcast journalist and woman in leadership advocate. Good morning and welcome to the show. Good morning. It's nice to meet you. Okay. We couldn't hear you, so we thought that maybe you wouldn't be joining us anymore. Okay. You said, or it is said in some quarters that because of the way women are represented in governance and all that is the bane of this country. It's a problem for this country. Give us an insight into why that is. Okay. Okay. You know, generally, we believe that women are due that. There's an old saying that says being a woman is trained in nations. So women are, women are, when you come to families, families where women don't play a type of role don't really end up working. And the family is the nucleus of the bigger society, which includes Nigeria, we have. So, and these same women, who play these very important families, important roles in families, get to the national level at the leadership level of the state and get eliminated. Yes, we want to destroy. I do not know how reasonable that is. Most of the countries we'll talk about today are one of the most developed countries where women play very evidential roles. For example, New Zealand is one of the best countries in the world today. He signed in all of the chapters. Let me just say, during COVID, women, countries led by women didn't manage COVID better than every other country. In their fact, from New Zealand, the other countries that were led by women, countries that have women are prime ministers. Women are more contentious. Women are more passionate leaders. People set up companies, and when they set up companies and they want to achieve some certain targets, they put women as very strategic positions. They might end up putting men as well, but over our heads, because very strategic roles are headed at the same time. Women are believed to be left corrupt. Why?  It's not as high as that of the Nigerian man. In the Nigerian man's example, let me bring this closer. It's actually believed to be political news. A man who had about 15 wives, about 10 other girls, in other parts of the world and country. We tend to acquire more, even if we still do, so he can satisfy their species. And a Niger woman would not even be proud to engage in polyandry, let alone such things that men will do. Women are less braided when it comes to their streak of activation and corruption. Corruption is the brain of this country. And then again, why the elimination of women is one of the problems of our country is that when you look at how long Nigeria has lasted and how much growth the men has played from the colonial days up to now. If the men has been ruling from 1960 up to now, and we end up going down, Nigeria economy keeps on emerging, things keep getting bad. It's not better to stay in the party. It's not better to keep looking at the other side. We are asking, they are saying, give women more opportunity. Women are more honest leaders. Women are more professional. Women are family leaders. They are nation leaders. If we can fix this, we need to fix it.  Well, when you talk about women being alienated, some people do not really understand. Because women are the only ones who have been given reserved positions. They are given a quota. They are the forms for contesting for election are less than the one that men buy. Women sometimes are mostly chosen as the running mates for governorship aspirants and some of them actually become deputy governors. And so many other things.  There's no men affairs ministry. One would think that women are given the opportunity to become what they want to become. Are you advocating now that the men should just give way and let the women rule?  Don't you think so? I'll give an example of let's say Waik or Jam. They don't say women should have a quota that is smaller. But the women will perform sometimes more than the men. So why not just give a level playing field and let everybody fight it out? What else do the women want? Okay, good. It is wrong of you to compare qualification exam to qualifications in Nigeria. I will say you are talking from the point of ignorance. Because they are not comparable. Oh really? Just a moment. Maybe you didn't get me right. If a man is buying a form to contest, for instance, for five million, I know of parties that have given theirs for free. No, no, no, no. That is politics. I got you. I got you better off.  No, hold on. From all your analogy, I only picked one. You said, for example, Jamban Waik, they don't give special consideration to women. They allow them to compete favorably with men. Isn't that what he said? Yes. And in the banking sector as well, women are flourishing. Most of the heads of the banks are women. That's what I'm saying. No quota. That's what I'm saying. It is wrong of you, and it's not wrong, rather, but it's ignorant of you, to compare qualification exam with speaking political officials in Nigeria. They are not the same. Not the same ecology. Not the same milieu. They are not the same. It's wrong to compare a political milieu and a qualification exam. Let me leave it at that. Let me help you out. Let me tell you, politics in Nigeria has totally militarily against women. They are not the same with examination. They are not the same with qualification exam. Let me tell you why. You mentioned deputy governor. How many women are deputy governors in Nigeria? How many? They are not even up to six, as we are speaking. Out of six, six days. And you mentioned the ministry of women. The ministry of women affairs is just like every other ministry. And they are all accountable to demand through the executive officer. The minister cannot do anything. The minister or a commissioner takes orders from the governor or the president. Who is the man? You initiate policies that demand who is the executive officer cannot relate to. It ends up on your desk. So what we are saying, there are factors to be taken against them and beyond from buying. I am a political position myself. I have run for office. So I am not one of the security supporters of women in politics. So I have been there, I have been involved. Start and tell you, buying form is not the problem in Nigeria. People can come together and buy you a form to run for political office. There are factors. There are social factors. There are factors that have been there for long. We are asking, give us laws. Laws, where they will bring out, where they will say 35 percent. Hold on, not just that, not the theoretical 35 percent that we are talking about. 35 percent. Okay, for example, Kiro Nyojota and a couple of them tried to push a bill that there must be an extra House of Bread to present it to you. It's meant for a worker to take a step. They didn't fly. They meant militarily. They voted against the National Assembly. These are the kind of fields that would have helped women. If they had given us one more seat from every seat for a House of Bread, we would have had extra 60 men in the House of... In the National Assembly. At least to sort out the numbers of women there. But they said no. Why would they work? And it worked for them because they are not in numbers. These are the kind of fields that would have helped. Not that 35 percent. And 35 percent is not even respected by many governments. It's not respected. And there is no law banning them. Those things are... There are many issues around them. We have issues of where a woman comes from and where she's married to. And we tried making laws about them. We asked them to be specific for us. Tell us. Where the woman is from is right here from. When we see a contest, they tell us to leave it like that. And it's got to be a problem in some many places. When a woman who is from... For example, I married another woman. I'm running... I do position at the state where I come from. Where is my husband from? But all women cannot do it. They have... I have colleagues who are from a certain state. Mine's another state. When they went to their husband's state to run a lecture. Some people picked up legumes to sit against us. We saw what happened in the... When the... When the reverse victim was appointed as an ambassador. Although to protest they said, No, she's not from our place. Let her go to reverse. She took the strong stance of... Akeredo Luz for you to actually... That's an appointment. Even the governor's wife, Akeredo Luz has to go back to Immoltec. So go around for sleep. After being married for 14 years. And you think Immoltec will attack her. They told her to go back to her husband's house. And they told her to go to Immoltec. These are the things to ask the National Assembly. Please spell it out for us. Tell us where this woman is from. This is the period to live in Blancet. She's given room for suspicion. These are the factors affecting against women. We are not even talking about the captain's insistence of politics. We are saying make for free. Many people do not make use to it. Some even make use to it. Then we shoot other issues that make it difficult. Every political party, actually every political party should say 35% of our positions must vote a woman. And they make laws and say men should not contest in this sort of certain places so that women can go. Don't give us that 35% in that sense. So that's the way you compare this. When you compare what we are facing with Jamban YX. I had to do it. It takes you to come to Immoltec to get and do it. Come to Immoltec to get and do it. Okay. The critical question, even a man, every man always asks what really do women want? So I was trying to put it into perspective. Now in politics a lot of things have been done from the point of view that I'm talking from. Not as a man, but as a Nigerian. From the point of view that I'm talking from. A lot of things have been done. So the question was, what else can be done? You just talked about the fact that every state should give one woman, and I got you right, to be in the National Assembly. That extra seat for the women to be in the National Assembly and all that. Let me just ask you this. This is not talking down on the women. How would you assess the women that have already been given a chance to perform inside whether the National Assembly or the State Assemblies? How would you rate their performances? Even a point C? Yes. If you start to think about that, if you start from the right way, which point C has actually, if she lets some of the men who have made it to give her a picture, we saw a point C. Even the women, the National Assembly, the women... give us a blanket rating of them. Because if you mention them, some people will also be mentioning Desani, Alison Madu. So we are not mentioning the names. Just a blanket assessment of the performance of women. I'm going to give you a blanket assessment, but there are facts, relevant to the facts and questions.  Yes, you would know that many of them are not... are not robust. Women are doing far better. I'm just surprised you're asking. Or maybe you know, or you don't want to tease us. Women are doing far better. There are more proactive leaders. There are more proactive people. We just want them to get... to give them... some making positions. They are not giving them some making positions. They are not... So we are asking... we are doing well in the little ones in giving us from the State Assembly where we are so few and minute. Many House of Assemblies don't have women. And the state has no women. Even the state has no women members. Many other states too. In the northern part of the country. So, so much of them. So we are saying, how can you make laws for us without laws? Make this state 5% mandatory for political parties. However they want to figure it out, let them cut out that 5% for us. Let's make a binding law, as we are asking the State Assembly and the National Assembly. What do they can do it because they should be made by men. So we are only scoping asking women who are who are the major voters to actually to vote women. But it's difficult because women don't get... women really get tickets of dominant political parties. It's not of the cost of positions. Will it really matter if it's a dominant political party, especially nowadays that it seems as if a small party can also make real good headlines when it comes to voting. We saw what Labour Party did for instance that we never dreamt of. Two years ago we didn't think Labour Party could even get a local government council but see what happened. So my final question for you right now is even though people are asking is Nigeria really ready for this kind of leadership that the women are advocating. But my question is you just touched the point that women are some of the major voters in many places. They have the numbers. What is your level of advocacy that you're carrying to the women for themselves?  But how enlightened are they? How ready are they to support themselves? The men have the brass coat more or less as we like to say. But do the women have these girls coat as well? Are they ready to support their own? Women are actually ready to support their fellow women. I can tell you but with the organization of poverty as a political strategy by our political leader it's not helping us. For example, most of the women are poor and hungry. It's tough in Nigeria. It's been tough in Nigeria and it's getting tougher.  They have students to send for and they say, ma'am, you come to offer them about 15,000 or 20,000 to vote for my candidates. The women, we do not have we don't want them to have the financial worst test like men. A man goes and says a man goes and says, I know you want to vote but look at 15,000. Very clean and crispy Nigerian note. Two men will consider she's got no power of super home. She will consider that after what she said, she will be hungry. She actually needs immediate solution to most of the problems she's having at home. She considers and takes money. You do not blame them. There is no strategy no structure in place for them. Hunger, poverty it's military against us. We can't help it but we will keep trying. I want to advise my fellow young women in politics that if you want to join politics there is no there is no special ballot box in the same ballot box. I advise young people get ready to do what men do in politics. Everything they do gets ready to do. Everything you do to win elections gets ready to do. Including looking for money talk for money look for more money keep looking for more money before going to politics. Okay, well maybe you say a final word because we are drawing the curtain right now so I'll give you a minute to talk to the women folk especially and then to whoever else you want to talk to if you can capture that in one minute. Okay, very well. I want to encourage every young woman who wants to join politics although they are already in politics those who have been trying and it looks like it's not working or you're getting difficult I want to encourage them to keep keeping on a time is coming a revolution is coming like I said in my last word you must prepare for politics it's not an easy terrain do everything they do Jesus for Jesus for that money for money Thank you so much Francaise for coming on the show this morning Thank you Okay, we've been talking with Francaise a broadcast journalist and women in leadership advocate we were talking about the fact that women should be given more opportunities especially in the political space so that they can be on the table when the decisions are being made especially as it concerns children and children okay, so we're going to take a very short break and we're going to be joined by our next set of guests these are two people two young women I would call them that have done Nigeria proud and the topic is finding solution to Nigeria's election issue with electronic voting we'll start with this video clip that gives us an insight to what they are going to be talking about stay with us


Hi, hello guys. I'm same Hague. I'm a project lead on the obvious to be project on open daylight We're gonna talk about open-stack open daylight integration Let me introduce these guys first Saku Yamahato He's a project lead also on networking ODL and the neutron northbound Our Vinsomia. He's working on the networking ODL the v2 driver The Shaw at the par he's working on VPN service project on open daylight And a little visionally he works on everything So we'll leave it that he's a key guy though Okay, um actually we like to say thank you for showing up we know it's kind of we're about hump day right now It was a good party last night. It's late in the afternoon. So we appreciate you guys coming out Maybe not so we kind of just want to show first off the project contributors For the network virtualization and the open-stack integration that we've got there's a lot of keep or there's a lot of moving parts And so it that would be a lot easier just kind of show the names you can see the different areas that each of the individuals works at During this presentation, we're not going to go too deeply into the technical details So this is kind of another way if there is something you kind of have a question about We've got the people there listed so you can find their names and track them down You know Yeah, go to the next one. Yeah, okay. So so what is open daylight? Open daylight is a SDM platform a software defined networking controller And it's by the simplest the same way that open-stack is it's an orchestration for compute resources Open daylight the SDM controller. It's an orchestrator for virtualized network resources The key thing about open daylight is it's a modular From the beginning that's been a kind of a distinguishing factor about open daylight is It's very easy to have Anybody can all the network functions of services and things like that are all It's microservices architectures. They're all wrapped as small service blocks So it's very easy to take those blocks and build up higher level applications. It's very easy to The platform it's open. It's diverse. It's very inclusive Because of that modular architecture, you can include different features so you can build up, you know Again, whatever type of deployment you want And because of that modular architecture, it's very a lot of multiple multi-protocol There's a bunch of southbound protocols you can control many different devices And because again because of that modular architecture and being so open We had we can support a broad range of use cases government use cases cloud NFE use cases And the last point The open stack we say opens, you know, we're talking about the open stack integration That's always been a key priority for open daylight is to always be able to work with the open stack So we kind of wanted to highlight that So here's what This is kind of an architecture picture of open daylight As you can see there the minutes, it's a classical picture, you know top to bottom if you've ever seen anything about SDN You know, you've got APIs on the northbound to access services in the middle in the core and then southbound protocols to drive those devices You know that green block. That's the core of open daylight There's a bunch of different types of services and functions Like L2 switch host tracker the net vert VPN service for you know the network virtualization pieces That's the core of open daylight And you can see they're all little blocks and they are really all little blocks as we talked about that microservice architecture On the northbound side all those services they expose API's you can see this, you know, we have rest rest comp Interfaces for high-level applications can now drive through and get access to all those services and functions Down at the bottom the blue blocks are the great great bluish. Let's all the network protocols To control the devices and network elements. You can see this like obstb netconf lisp BGP they're all pluggable and and Another block in there is that blue block that long block the cell we call it the MD cell the model driven service abstraction layer That's an important piece to the whole architecture It uses a language called yang which is the modeling language basically That's where you can map all your network functions to these devices and expose higher-level application interfaces That's how we you can do all the little building blocks They all work through this MD cell and you can and it provides a consistent interface from top to bottom And some other magic that comes out of that yang and the MD cell is it it's what exposes It actually when it's compiled it exposes those rest conf interfaces And it it exposes the Java code which also the all the actual code itself uses When all the blocks are interact interfaces with each other. So again, it's just kind of a it's consistent interface from top to bottom Okay, so this is kind of a deployment architecture It's very similar to anything else you would see with open stack. You've got a control node and open stack control node Key pieces there is the neutron networking ODL That's the ml2 driver, which is able to pass neutron API into opens are to open daylight controller And then we come across to the open daylight the open daylight controller, which is where open daylight is running key pieces there are the Neutron northbound which is receiving all the neutron APIs and Obviously be which is driving the OBS switches And then compute nodes any number of compute nodes Typical things, you know, it's you know, you've got a bridge there OBS OBS is running there You've got virtual machines. There should be instantiating An open daylight is setting up all the networking for all those for all those switches and all the beams are there We show that as a network control node for the open stack. It's probably not in the typical sense before DVR was around It's not a dedicated network node in that in that sense We also support also the virtual routing in L3. So that's also Distributed across the compute nodes That network node control node really if there's extra agents like the DHCP agent in this case or that networking node, you know Okay Okay, so so that's kind of an overview of open daylight and now we're going to go ahead and talk about Moving on, you know to brilliant the features that we've implemented this release and so he's going to take over Thank you Sam. So The community has been working on Features are so hard. So we'd like to introduce new features. I mean what has been What was delivered in the previous development cycle and what we are planning to Planning to work on for the next next development cycle. I mean open stack Newton cycle and open the right ballon cycle So this our slides summarize summarize summarizes the features we have delivered in the previous Previous development cycle. I mean open stack meter cycle and open the right very dim cycle the main focus was a HHA high availability and the stability actually are people people is starting to use it use it and also Starting to test it. For example, or PNFB project is continuously testing Open stack integration with open daylight and we have a feedback from them. So as Open stack integration is the biggest use case of open daylight So we are we are seriously taking care of it. So this is open daylight committee response to it Response to it. So we have much improved its stability and we have fixed many bows Next slide please. And then This slides summarizes our future plan for open stack Newton cycle and ballon cycle Last in the last cycle we have much improved its stability. So we have widened our scope to include a scalability and also to fill a major feature gaps So some some features Didn't finished yet. So we have some leftover from the last last cycle So we would like to finish those unfinished features like V2 drivers and also We'd like to finish some HHA functionality and in addition to that We'd like to add more new fancy features In the next in the following slides, we'd like to explain those major items in detail First one is a port binding. Although the main goal is to support not only playing open V-switch, but also DP-DK enabled open V-switch and also we'd like to support another software V-switches like FDIO, FIDO, VPP. So in In metacycle we have we support OVS DP-DK, which is DP-DK enabled OVS Which is much faster than playing open V-switch. So now Open-derived mechanism driver understands not only playing open V-switch, but also DP-DK Support of open V-switch. So it found out the Open V-switch in the computer node supports DP-DK It's switched to use DP-DK so that you can enjoy accelerated performance. In NewtonCycle, we are planning to support FIDO, FD.IO, VPP switch So this will be this logic will be more enhanced to support any kind of switches in the future. Next feature is lightweight test framework. This is the answer. This is open-derived community answer that the community is very value its testing and it is quite important to test any kind of logic. So for now in order to test open-derived integration with open-stack, we have to deploy full open-stack, open-stack and open-derived. It is very quiet time-consuming and sometimes it is difficult for open-stack, open-stack developers. So we introduced a new test harness to simulate open-stack, open-derived behavior so that we can test open-stack-neutron without open-derived. So this helps developers developers so that development cycle is shortened and also this test harness can be used for HAKS. For example, network can fail between open-stack-neutron servers and open-derived and such such transient network failure can happen. In that case Neutron open-derived mechanism driver should re-dry and when network come back, they should continue to work. So this test harness can simulate such transient network failure. Actually, in order to test this kind of network failure, we have to set up network and then we have to, for example, we have to unplug the physical ether cable. But with this test harness, we can simulate such failure so that we can exercise such HL logic and it is quite important to test, exercise those logics. And in Neutron in Neutron cycle, we are also planning to introduce a test harness to simulate Neutron itself so that we can test open-derived without open-stack so that we can exercise we can easily test open-derived logics and also we can simulate multiple node, compute node, compute nodes with single physical hardware so that developers can test multiple node deployment case with your laptop machine or desktop machine and also developers or users can get a idea, a scalability idea, rough idea with single machine. Okay, I'll pass the mic to Arvind. Thanks, Sasaku. I was going to give an overview of the ODL V2 driver which is a new driver we introduced in this cycle. So anybody who's used the V1 Open Daylight Neutron driver knows that it works, but not very well. It doesn't scale at all. Once you go beyond a certain number of networks, you will be just stuck because it tries to do this giant DB syncs across. So our goal with this driver was to make a atomic micro-transaction. So every API called in Neutron will be synced individually to Open Daylight and we have implicit retries and also going down the list, we did it for Neutron HA and scalability. So if you have multiple Neutron servers running, multiple ODL endpoints running, you will have multiple sync agents or sync threads which will actually work in an HA fashion. For the first phase, we only did the mechanism driver and the L3 plugin. We just wanted to get like a proof of concept out and just to demonstrate how it works and what the performance improvements were. Based on that, we're still fixing a few small, minor issues with syncs and all that stuff, but once that is ironed out, we do plan to convert other service plugins, maybe like LBAS or VPN as into the same architecture. So how this plugin works is it asynchronously synchronizes resources. I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but it synchronizes resources from Neutron to Open Daylight, but it does it in an asynchronous fashion so that you're not blocking the Neutron API on every call. Whenever whatever API call you get to Neutron is stored in a journal database and there are like separate worker threads which work in the background to actually synchronize this. And what you get with this is like you're immediately your Neutron API is not blocked.  Once we translate that into Async, Neutron is not blocked. And as it says, it's atomic transactions per API event. So each API event like a create network, create port, a create subnet is treated as an individual atomic transaction and it will try to sync these and it also has some automatically configurable retries. So in case it fails, it'll try up to an X number of times and then even if that fails, then it marks it failed. We had to add a lot of validation to this because some events in Neutron come in very close to each other. Like if you use Horizon, then a port create might actually show up in the database before a subnet create because they're like less than a second apart and we did not have that kind of time granularity. So we added a lot of validation to this model with extensive validation models like do not send a port create before a network and a subnet create. Do not send a subnet create before a network create or in the same applies for delete logics as well. All the hierarchical children, child nodes have to be deleted before you can delete a resource. So if you get retries for failed journal rows and it has a back-off mechanism in case Open Daylight itself is down, there's no point in just hammering the CPU waiting to sync it. So we do have some sort of a back-off and it keeps retrying to contact ODL at regular phase. It is still in the beta phase. Like I mentioned, we introduced this driver like a couple of months ago and there's been quite a good acceptance in the community and people from other companies have also come in and they've started fixing issues in this one. So it's like a very high-level overview of how this works. In each of these blocks, you can see like we have multiple neutron servers. Each one of them is running a sync thread and they're all talking to a common journal database which is populated by all the API events coming in. So with the validation model and with the validation model in place, this kind of we kind of ensure that one thread doesn't try to step on the other person's or what the other thread is doing. All of these are controlled by a state machine in the journal database. So all of these journal rows will have a state of either pending, processing, failed, or completed which are pretty self-explanatory. And this is a very high-level, I put up a web service diagram as a very high-level overview of what the call logic is here. There's a lot more things going on here but this is present at like a general overview of how this whole logic works and we'll be posting these slides. No, no, we'll be posting these slides. Okay, we'll post these slides in case you need more time to look over the diagrams and everything. And with that, I will hand it over to Vishal. So I'm going to talk about the BGP VPN support and the L2 gateway support that is available in Mitaka and Beryllium. Just to give a brief history of what BGP VPN is for those who are not familiar, there's already OpenStack Project Networking BGP VPN which is a plug-in. What it does is, like lots of existing providers, they have, you know, talent networks which are beyond the gateway running L3 VPN which is the MPLS BGP VPN. So what this project aims to do is bring that VPN connectivity all the way inside the data center up to the VMs. So that Networking BGP is a plug-in on OpenStack. We had the similar functionality available in OpenDelight even at the previous lithium release. What we have done in Mitaka and Beryllium is integrate them together so that the OpenDelight component which is a VPN service project is now orchestrated by OpenStack now. So he just mentioned what the V1, V2 driver. So when we started writing driver for this, V2 framework was not ready to use. So the driver code we decided to still host in the Networking BGP VPN Ripper. It is the V1 driver and it works, you can test it. VPN service project in OpenDelight is providing the back end and we also have a fuel plug-in for it. Going forward, once the V2 framework, as he's mentioned, it's still being tested. Once it's fully robust and ready, then we'll be moving that driver also to V2 and you will have all these semantics like sync and retries for failures. Like I mentioned, fuel plug-in is already available. I don't know how many of you attended the gluon and the OPNF sessions today in the morning. So they mentioned VPN service and PLS, BGP VPN. So this is what they are using already. Networking, L2 gateway. So we were hoping to get it fully functional between in the Mitaka and Beryllium release. We ran into some issues. The, okay, before that again, L2 gateway is the project which brings, you know, connectivity between bare metals and the VMs running on the computes. It's also, it has been there since the kilo release of OpenStack. So what we did here was again, implementing back end functionality in OpenDelight and the ODL driver for L2 gateway. We ran into some issues because the way L2 gateway plug-in was written, it did not support adding a new service driver for it. So we had to take help from the L2 gateway project to get it done. And by the time it was done, it was too late for us to have the driver in Mitaka. We still might get it in Mitaka. So hopefully. So the code is up for review and ODL back end could not be ready and it could be available only in boron release. So, Anil. Hi everyone. I think next time I need to bring my sunglasses to present here. And this was a bad joke to, you know, wake up people who are sleeping somewhere in the corners. So yeah, so I'm going to talk about a little bit about a network project which is basically an OpenStack back end networking provider in ODL. And then I'll be briefly talking about the SFC support in network. So if you look at this long list here, this is the work which we did in a Barry Lim release. Okay. And just to give a brief about the network, network project was a part of the OVSDB project in OpenDelight. And recently we split at it because OVSDB project has OVSDB southbound plugin that talked to OVSDB devices and the network virtualization piece of it. So we just took it out and it has, you know, it's new project life, but this is something, you know, it's Barry Lim, so we kind of have the whole list there. So some of this work is an OVSDB southbound plugin. Some of this is a network project. So MD cell migration is the diagram that Sam shown right related to fourth release of Parallium, that big boxes. So ODL uses MD cell and the old network code was basically using the Pojo-based service abstraction layer. So we migrated to the Yang-based MD cell layer. It's a model-driven service abstraction layer. So that was one of the major work which we did. We enabled the support for the clustering because that's, you know, it's a no go if you don't have that support. So it's the first implementation we have as of now and we're trying to harden it up. So some of the work is still going on there. We have a support for hardware VTAP. And hardware VTAP support is basically, you know, same OVSDB hardware VTAP schema support. We added this for, you know, this is basically used by L2 Gateway service. So folks who wanted to implement L2 Gateway service in open daylight, they wanted this support, so we added that one. We have a support for OVSDB decay. This is a work that is done by Intel folks. And we have, you know, support in network also. So you can deploy your open stack deployment using open daylight with a DPDK support. We added support for QS. We added support for security group and we support both, you know, contract support and, you know, a simple flow-based support. Flow-based support is limited because of the obvious reason because the OVS don't support a lot of things. But if you have, if you deploy OVS that has a contract support, then you can enable security group with a contract. We have an outer manager that actually does, you know, IPv6 related stuff, ND and SD and all those stuff. Then we have, we implemented the SFC. It's not really implemented, but there is a version that present, that's present in network that actually give you some SFC support from open daylight. So this was a POC work that we did in Perylium. So if anybody wants to try it out, they can do it. But we are trying to formalize this work so that, you know, it can have a formal integration with all the orchestration pieces. And this is, I'm going to go detail into this one. So the next slide actually shows you what you are trying to do. So in the whole summit, you must have been, you know, attending NFV tracks and other telco tracks and they all basically looking for NFV support. And SFC is something which pops up every time, right? So this is one of the key use case that people actually want to realize. So open daylight, for open daylight, because network is, you know, one of the pure OpenStack provider, which actually go by the APIs of the OpenStack. So for us, it's kind of an obvious next step to support the SFC APIs. Given that OpenStack now has a first version of SFC APIs. So networking SFC is the work which they are doing and they are kind of finalized the first set of APIs. So I think it's the right time for us to kind of implement, you know, provide SFC support through the Open Daylight Controller. And the other thing is, you know, now given that, you know, it creates more value given that we have a consumer in OpenStack that actually want to consume networking SFC API. So if you know, if you attend an attacker session, so attacker is basically a MANO and a VNF manager, that basically, you know, working on the people in that project, working on providing support for VNF forwarding graphs. And they are planning to consume networking SFC API. So, you know, we already have a user who wants to consume networking SFC API. So from our side, we just wanted to implement this in Open Daylight so that, you know, we can have an end-to-end deployment using Tacker, networking SFC, and the ODL. So Tacker is not just one use case we want to start with, but there are a lot of other consumers. Whoever consumes networking SFC, they can get a support from Open Daylight. So we, and the good thing is, in Open Daylight, we already have a very mature SFC implementation, that is Open Daylight SFC project. And a lot of consumer, we have two consumers as of now. It's a GBP project, one, and a network, you know, project. They basically consume it. And there is external consumer also, that is OP NFV. So OP NFV also consumes the SFC piece from Open Daylight. So given that we have a mature, you know, implementation of it, to provide the whole end-to-end integration, there are three major pieces of work that we need to do. So first one is, you know, we need to write a driver, is a pass-through driver, that actually pass-networking SFC API directly to ODL. That driver is one of the major piece in that. We already have a blueprint for that, and people discuss this merge, and the work need to be done, and people are working on that. Second, these two bullets, basically, rest of these two work need to be done in Open Daylight side. So we need to define a Yang-based model for the SFC flow classifier and for SFC, because ODL is all based on Yang. So that is another major work that we need to do. And the third one is a translation layer. So why we define these Yang models is we want to keep these models as generic as possible so that it's not stuck with just one provider in Open Daylight. So if you want to write your own SFC provider for Open Stack APIs, you can plug in your own bundle into it that provides SFC, and you can start using it rather than the current version we have in Open Daylight. So that's why we want to make it generic. Once we have, we need to provide that plugability, then you need to provide a translation layer, because these different SFC implementation will have their own models. And once you have your own model, you need some translation from the generic model to those specific model. So that's one of the translation layer you have to write. So these are the three major pieces, which me and Tim Rozert from Red Hat, we are going to work on it. And there are people from other organizations also interested, and they'll be joining us. So any of you are interested in this work, please feel free to contact any of the person in OBSDB, Open Daylight, and Networking Audio project, and we'll hook you up. So this all is currently work in progress. So anybody who wants to give any feedback, not really in contribution in term of code, but any feedback about how we should go about it, how the design should be, and any other use cases that we should accommodate, please feel free to reach out to us. This is the high-level integration architecture, how this thing is going to work. So as I mentioned, so NetworkSFC has APIs. So whoever want to consume NetworkingSFC, they are going to call the NetworkingSFC API. Those APIs call will be propagating to NetworkingODL, and NetworkingODL will be passing it through the SFC driver which we are planning to write to the ODL. And if you see all these green boxes, these are the boxes which I was talking in the previous slide, and these are the work in progress. So SFC driver will pass data to the Newton northbound, and Newton northbound is going to write these data into a data store, the MD cell layer, so where we store all the data. And that is basically user configuration. So whatever API is for a flow classification and for SFC chain we'll get, we will store it in their appropriate models. And then there will be a provider for that. So if you see the two boxes, NetworkGVP, these are one of the consumers. These are the basically flow classifier provider.  And then we have SFC implementation. So we'll write a translation layer that will take the generic SFC model, convert it to a SFC specific model, and then SFC will do the job of creating a chain. So this is the high-level architecture which we are planning to do. So most of these pieces need to be done, and hopefully in the next release we'll have something working demo for you guys. So yeah. And this is one of the use cases which we're trying to realize. So when we want to show the end-to-end game that how this works. So Tacker is one of the use case which we are targeting. We already have a working POC implementation that work is done by Tim. But in that case, it's not really a formula. What happens is Tacker directly go to ODL. It doesn't go to the networking SFC, and then it goes to my Newton or Thorn. That direct communication is from Tacker to SFC. So that is not a formal integration in term of when you want to do this through OpenStack. So yeah, this is one of the use cases which we are trying to realize, and we'll hopefully do work on other use cases once we are kind of done with this thing. So yeah, this is pretty much we have. So just to summarize it, because the kind of services we support, kind of goals we have, ODL is one of the viable, and I would say, if you go to the SDN controller, it's one of the main controller that you guys can target to deploy. We are definitely trying toward making it more hardened so that people generally complain that it's not deployable, and that's our main focus, which we know where we are heading towards. So HAA and scalability and this feature parity is the thing which we're working on currently. So anybody who wants to deploy it, it's a time to kind of reach out to us so that we can get more feedback and can do the work which actually make it a deployable controller. It's an active and diverse community. If you see the initial contribution, there are around six to seven organizations that contribute to this project, and this is pretty diverse. We are not in a push mode. We are always kind of open up. We invite people to come and contribute it and have a healthy technical discussion about things. So that's a good thing, and that's a good thing about the whole ODL community and specifically the network project and the kind of community we have there. We are working on more feature and functionality. So if you are looking for any new feature in open daylight side or networking ODL side, please reach out to us. That's pretty much how much time we have. So I think we have seven minutes for questions. So yeah, guys, you can come up. I'm not going to handle all the questions. If you can come to the mic, that would be good. So you mentioned about the deployment. Are you targeting that for your SR or is it for Boron? So that's for some of the feature is going to be in Boron. So a stability part of it, whether it's a HA or a clustering that is available in Beryllium and a Boron both. So that is the piece which we are going to harden up. But the new pieces that is related to SFC and all those things, that is going to go in Boron release. But the stability, bug fixes, clustering, anything that we need to harden it up for deployment, that definitely will go to Beryllium as well. Deletion from Comcast, can you share what's the, you know, you mentioned about the FIDO project, you know, what's the support either on the open stack side or also on the open daylight side? FDIO support is being done under OPNV project, which is called the FASO data stack project. And the work needs to be done in neutron and open daylight and also FIDO. We have to touch all of that components. Right, you mentioned there is a hardware VTEP support coming in, is that L2 or also L3? Yeah, so in Beryllium it's currently just L2 and then Boron will be adding L3 also. So that's the plan. So L2 is already there. L3 would be coming in next release. Any other question? Then I think we are good. Thank you guys. Thanks for joining us. If you still have any questions, do come to our booth tomorrow. So we have an ODL booth down there. So anybody who has any question related to ODL and what is coming, what is there, you know, please feel free to come to that booth. We'll happy to answer your questions. Thank you.


Your website should attract new potential customers. One way to do so is by showing up in search results. Methods of making your website appear when people search for the things you sell, like children's clothes, are called search engine optimization, or SEO for short. Think of it this way, SEO is like a shop window display. You want to make the shop window display interesting and attractive. SEO is about using the right words and serving relevant information to your potential customers on your websites. This can be done in a few different ways. Make sure your website contains useful information, like inventory, selection, pricing, location, and hours. Other best practices include create short, meaningful page titles. Use page headings that convey the subject of the page. Include a detailed about us section that includes contact information, a description of your business, countries where you operate if relevant, and, if it applies, store locations and opening hours.

Alrighty, second to last episode of our Mops like 100 season one watch through episode 11 master leader Probably referring to the end of the last episode where we're I'm guessing about to see who's leading claw I don't know if it's just this brand like the leader of this branch or the entire Organization, but whoever they are looks a lot like Reagan. I don't know like I said I think it's gonna be some like some visual gag or something that they look exactly like Reagan And that's gonna be the whole joke, but what do I know this series has been insanely unpredictable thus far if you Channel don't forget to drop a sub and let's hop into it There is no way there's absolutely no way No Salt is this some joke have I been pranked so okay? I don't think it's Reagan. That's actually walking in at the end of the last episode I think it's it's trying to make me think that but he is showing up to try to help and I'm guessing that's what mobs phone was ringing about You got another fat flashback They're such good brothers what happened man, what happened to read Sue He's not totally bad right now, but I'm just worried he's just so impressed by him. Oh the way he looks at him Wait there the ropes are untied though are they free He's worried I Think he feels guilty he better feel guilty man Oh That's all he has cared about No home. Yeah, wait, what do you mean? Oh?  Oh, he's a temp trainee He's just got a bit of an attitude Dang dude hey you want to join our side show Kids these days That was pretty slick one that would make Zoro proud Okay It is Reagan that's walking up. Oh, he's not the leader.  Oh my gosh And they're gonna tell them that the boss is here. Oh Next I thought they say you're supposed to come like now. Oh my gosh Oh My gosh, dude, it's not right to commit villainy I love He's converting all of them. Oh my gosh They're also casual like terrors is vibing Mm-hmm, bro Reagan's just gonna come waltzing in I'm worried about the uppers finding him though He cannot buy back Yeah, the hair still looks great. Oh My gosh, you actually got to them As always You put some respect on his name Is that a oh a wig Everybody's just petrified of Reagan Guys, that's a cry Ritsu can't believe it. Oh No now they're busted man, they know unless they don't know what Ishii Guro looks like but I assume they do Okay, they do okay. I was like this might still work out Wait All right, dude, how is he still talking so tall? And it's all them now he realizes what's going on.  I'm sorry like I care now. They are they're on our side He's freeing them he's telling them to be free My goodness why is Reagan the greatest anime character of all time right now it's the up to these two to stand up for him He's gotten them this far He has to be able to it's to protect them the people he cares about I'm interested in what the issue grow does Oh my gosh She's pressing him into the ground Reagan's like you got this easy Oh My gosh We get cuz you can only use offensive or defense of it once They still not want them to Yeah Yes Laying there God they look intimidating So awkward it gets easily discouraged What's he gonna do just try to beat them all up Yeah He's not scared in the slightest Reagan is going to fight You Okay, I'm looking I Don't sense anything No, he's not he is a con man There is no way this is working there is no way Okay, they had to step into a certain extent. Yeah, he was going to get sliced in half You got a toy sword Oh no, and then the beast dude, how is dimple doing? Oh, no, yeah, they're actually gonna start start throwing back not throwing it back throwing punches back All right, Reagan, yeah, you may be out of your element now Oh He doesn't understand the organization though Reagan is a debate Lord these are more than adults It is pretty shameless I feel like show is gonna be an element like he's gonna step in seems like he doesn't like claw He's panicking Oh, yeah true he pulls against the black hole What They see girl lose control of their own balls the metal light hit her. Oh shoot He just one shot all of them Give it a try. This guy is sick. It's going down I guess it is flexing the animation now. He does look a lot better now. No, he's right Oh Okay, candy Sean where's temple Dude terror is going sick. Oh mode Don't fight back He's still telling them not to Yeah, he's right It's his insides pulling at each other his ethics his morals that Reagan's raised them on And I wonder why Reagan is so dead set on him not using his I mean, he doesn't want to see mob go down an evil path I don't think Maybe because he thinks mob will have that same murderous intent He maybe he'll hurt them on accident in the process Murder he actually has His soul his his spirit will suffer Wait, no, this is when he first met him That is being like praying He couldn't have been more wrong He opened up a little bit He latched on to these morals He proved it right then and there But in the perspective, he's like, oh my gosh, he's actually not lying Took him under his wing. Oh My gosh dog. He actually cut Reagan out There's no way they showed that backstory because Reagan dies, right? I cannot even fathom how like mobs feelings if something that tragic happened to Reagan or Teru or his brother I actually started getting like teared up at that backstory too. It just I don't know what it is I think it's mobs just naiveness that reminds me of me and when I was like super young But I mean I feel like most people could relate to that That's how you are as a kid and everyone adapts themselves into that They put themselves in the shoes of that character. They're like, yeah I see that he's just this bright-eyed kid who doesn't didn't know where to turn to so getting someone like Reagan finding someone like Reagan Where they're like, yeah, I'll teach you the way whether he actually was an expert not admit the world to this kid And this adult was actually gonna take the time to show him the ropes and it's just it's so dang sweet man I'm so nervous to see how this season wraps up I'm so scared for mob and just everything but I think we're gonna find out a lot more about his power and He's gonna find out a lot more about himself guys That's been for episode 11 of our mob cycle 100 season 1 watch through to drop a silver the channel if you're new with that being said I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace. Peace


Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in at the range now.  I would compare it to a Smith K-frame maybe a Ruger SP 101 it has a two-inch barrel pinned in front sight It's a double action revolver nice single action trigger pull I measure right around four pounds Check out that rubber grip offered three finger contact Tunneled rear sight and all together a pretty heavy package loaded 34 and a half ounces I've got some 38 special loaded up now. We'll throw some 357 magnum in there shortly Let's go ahead and see how this does and double action Man, it's like shooting a 22 long rifle with this And the one thing that I did not mention on my table review is that the cylinders are resets. So those rounds sit in there Very tight and Just like that And there we go Nice revolver. It's a good-looking revolver I mentioned on my tabletop review that the MSRP on this is 749 now I did not find it fair when people say well for that price I would get you know this revolver that revolver That's the MSRP and if you are familiar with rock island armory The MSRP and the actual gun store price varies quite a bit So if we consider this would probably show for around $600 that would be fair probably less than That but the single action trigger pull all right, we are unloaded here. I measure right around Four pounds and here's what we're looking at For that trigger pull standard double action trigger pull With the uh, you know the double action, but it's it's a good-looking revolver. Let's go ahead and load it up with 357 and see if that recoil is just as light. Well, we know it's not going to be but we'll check it out anyways With this al 3.1 This rubber grip Is nice All right, it's got some weird texturing on there just well I should say some bumps and it does have some slight finger grooves But I do like the way that feels it seems to work well with this revolver Overall the recoil is not bad. You know, I think I mentioned 34 and a half ounces Loaded and that was 357 Magnum let's try single action See how it does. We'll start on the right hand side here That punches you Down below miss that last one All right 158 grain 357 magnum again Let's see how we do from this distance with this two-inch barrel It's got a nice feel Let's go down below Miss that All right So there it is Rock Island Armory al 3.1 performed very well at the range. It's a stout heavy duty Numb nose revolver. I think it's good looking with that shiny stainless steel And it will be available in january of 2020. Yeah, if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network We are down to the final four in the men's basketball tournament for 2023 we got two awesome games coming up on Saturday with the championship game coming up on Monday We are here to break it all down with dr. Ed Fang getting his read on the championship futures and talking about both those games on Saturday to let you know Where he's seeing value right now over at Fandall sportsbook This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and number fire calm My name is Jim Saunas. I am a senior writer and analyst for number fire calm Joined here as mentioned by dr. Ed Fang you can find his work over the power ranked common Ed Chaotic four days across men's college basketball. We have now got I think pretty fun games I know people are talking about like the ratings and stuff like that, but like from a game-watching perspective I think FAU San Diego States Miami Yukon both those games should be pretty fun. So I'm stoked for Saturday. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. I'm pretty stoked for Saturday, too. It's been Pretty great tournament for me Like I've really enjoyed trying to catch like every single minute that I possibly can this past weekend It's been some pretty good basketball. It's been some exciting basketball a lot of ups and downs for me Obviously it was pretty painful to watch Alabama and Houston go down within a matter of half an hour not at all what I expected Obviously, I like both those teams coming into the tournament and that didn't work out You would like to see at least I don't know. I felt really good about them. I have futures on both of them I really thought like it was possible that they play in the championship game And they just didn't get it done That's college basketball and I guess I could hide a little bit behind the fact that I think I wrote that like Alabama Couple weeks ago that Alabama most years would be like a pretty strong two seed Yeah, you're not like the overall seed, which I think was true I think they just played terribly against San Diego State like instead of passing the ball They got bogged down into one-on-ones But you know, obviously was incredibly excited later to watch, you know, Gonzaga No, actually, that was the night before to watch Gonzaga Cover and then actually beat UCLA outright, which is pretty amazing Props to Drew Meijer, who's been all over conference USA and FAU had him in my newsletter he had FAU outright in the elite eight and That worked out as well. So that was a ton of fun So just you know, I just actually think just some great basketball and it's been really fun to analyze these teams and and to break down The final four teams like I do, you know, the primary contenders before the tournament It's been a lot of fun. Yeah, going back to that Gonzaga Thursday game Not the the blowout on Saturday the Thursday game That's kind of the joy of having a spread versus the money line I had asked you on Tuesday, you know any interest in the money line for Gonzaga and you said, you know I like the two and a half I want to stand there and when they were down one late in that game You were cash and regardless FAU's could have messed you up But like you were good and then they drain the three to take the lead But it's kind of beauty of betting is you don't always have to sweat that stuff If you if you find a better market I had the money line. I was sweating that a lot for sure But I mean that game overall even if you didn't have money on the line Just like a delightful game and kind of what we come for in these tournaments I know that like again, the discourse has been it's not blue bloods not like these big names not huge markets But like from a just a an observer's perspective. I feel like this year has been One of the more fun times I've had watching like the actual product thus far Absolutely, I mean it's been some incredible basketball and I think this is what we're getting in the future I think a lot of people will follow it more in-depth than I do think the transfer portal is Evening the playing field. Yeah, it's a lot of teams like FAU to go out and get someone that really fills out their roster allows them to go not in deep I Think we're getting more of this which kind of sucks because it makes my life difficult before the tournament because it's much Harder to it's much harder to pick a champ now. Yeah, you can obviously see that But I think it's good for college basketball and like, you know, like I said, I've been completely invested in in the games And that's been amazing Engaging more fan bases is never a bad thing and that's kind of what we're getting here So we'll talk about how that parody discussion plays into futures for this year's tournament here in a second We'll talk about both those games go in-depth on both the Saturday final four games in a second But first a reminder to make sure you're subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast later on in this week Tomorrow, I'll be breaking down what my numbers are saying about MLB opening day running through Strikeout props money lines and much more will also on Thursday have a preview of the women's final four Justin Carter Getting his read on those games futures market there as well Both those podcasts going up on the covering the spread podcast feed and over on the fandom YouTube page So make sure you are subscribed to get those as they're posted whether your bracket is busted still alive or You're just looking for another way to get involved in March Madness And has you covered? That's why Fandal and Xfinity mobile are partnering to give you a chance to win a share of $10,000 for both the final four and the national championship game So $20,000 in total cash-pricing all you have to do is answer Prop-a-pick-em questions around in-game action inclusive of Xfinity mobile theme questions And the best part is it is free to play Fans that answer the most questions correctly win a share of the $10,000 grand prize for that contest round The second round of this contest locks on Saturday at 6 30 p.m. Eastern So head over to Fandal now to get on the action to enter go to fandal.com slash free slash contest slash Xfinity mobile pick-em roll again Xfinity or fandal.com slash free slash contest slash Xfinity mobile pick-em roll no purchase necessary age and location restrictions apply Void rare prohibited seafold terms at fandal.com Xfinity mobile has not sponsored or offered this promotion in any way as mentioned let's take it now to the futures market here and before we talk about both these games and The theme throughout not just this tournament But the entire year has been parody the market here is showing a bit of confidence in Yukon They are minus 125 to win the national championship and you know, it's justified. They're a very good team Ed there is a reason they are there they're a team you long talked about on our Brackets stream before the tournament to they're very high and like analytical numbers and stuff like that But we've seen a lot of parody. We've seen a lot of wonkiness so far. So Does the parody we've seen give wiggle room to bet someone else inside this market or is Yukon in your eyes? definitively the best team here I Think Yukon is definitively the best team and this is a pretty interesting Exercise and how you want to rate Yukon. I'm an aggressive model that tends to react more to recent results And obviously Yukon's been quite simply incredible in this tournament a lot of some part of that has come from hot shooting, but I mean I Don't think that completely explains the margin of victories. They've put up So when you look at my aggressive model, it will tell you that they're at 67% chance to to win The tournament which obviously suggests value in this market When you look at my model that tends to look more at season-long results So it will kind of average over the entire season and it will take you know, the same It'll take the same contribution from the win against Gonzaga compared to the loss against Marquette and the Beebe semi-final Before the start of the tournament. I think they've lost like six of eight games at one point in the biggie schedule They were really good in the out-of-conference season. They had a little bit of a rough patch. I think the biggie's is really good I've seen some really good basketball coming out of that conference But when you average that when you look at a model that you know, 10 tends to Assume more regression to their true strength over the course of the season. It tends to rely on season-long averages I get about Yukon at Even odds to win the tournament The market seemed to be splitting the difference and I feel like it's a lot It's the same as what we were talking about last week with Alabama, you know, my more aggressive model Really like the way they played they had no idea that they were gonna shoot 11% from three against San Diego State Although I really feel like Alabama killed themselves But not passing the ball So I don't know I passed on this market If you really think Yukon is as good as they they look recently You would clearly bet this if you think you want to stick with more season-long averages Then then you wouldn't and maybe you find some value from watching this team I mean, I've liked this team since before the tournament. Yeah, you have a lot of future pros on this team I think Donovan Klingon and Alex caravan are gonna be like two of the best players in the entire country next year They're freshmen. They're not going anywhere like this.  They're gonna be a national title contender again based on those two guys alone And that and that's not even counting Jordan Hawkins and and Andre Jackson that I presume are off to the NBA I think teams will take them. I have no idea why San Diego is not an NBA drop boards I think any team would would benefit from him. I think this is definitively the best team We can talk about all the flaws of of the other teams But but yeah, I like you So I think the bigger takeaway here in terms of this market is you're not touching anybody else If both your models say you con is even money or better That probably implies everyone else is not gonna be a positive UV bed regardless what you want Now when we talked about college football ad you've mentioned that the more aggressive model has proven itself to be Your better model between the two you have been running Now with college basketball, it's a bit different because you've got a larger sample you've got all these possessions You've got a lot of data more games and stuff like that So what do you think is the the blend there? Do you think the more aggressive model in the long term will win out and be the Better one or do you think that exploiting the big sample size? We have is the preferred way to go blended model between the two What do you think is the the better better route for college basketball specifically? The more aggressive models been clearly superior over the later part of the season Alabama game aside last week Obviously, it's not gonna be perfect. So I've been really trusting the more aggressive model I've been mostly betting based on that and we'll talk about something a little bit later in the show So yeah, I mean, you know and that wasn't the case last year So the the one that lean more on season-long averages was more accurate against the spread. I Don't really know. I don't really know what's gonna happen last next year I don't really know the reason why ones work better this year and the other one worked better last year But we'll we'll keep tracking it. Yeah. Yeah, we'll keep tracking it might be a season-by-season thing I think the explanation we had for Football was transfer portal one thing but also like college players Progressing like in season in a pretty tangible way You think that would be the explanation for the basketball one performing the way it has as well. I I think so, I mean you're getting more Rossers that haven't played with each other and then you would expect that we get better towards the end of the season And maybe that's what we're seeing with these teams here that have made it to the final four That's certainly an explanation. Okay, so no value in the futures market as of right now Unless you want to buy fully into the aggressive model, which does like you con at minus 125 Let's take it now to these specific games coming up on Saturday beginning with the first one That is FAU against a San Diego State right now that spread is one and a half over at Fandall Sports Book total is 131 and a half. Let's start things off with the spread here at a very tight one. You've been on FAU you've liked them quite a bit What is your read on the spread here against San Diego State? Yeah, I've been really good. I mean not only telling my numbers But also drew Martin who's noted just how well conference USA teams have done this postseason overall There are two of them playing tonight in the NIT semi-finals. So the conference is done really well You know, my numbers have San Diego State by about two and almost two and a half points here. I Kind of don't trust it San Diego State is a great Deep I used I try not to go against my numbers, but I really don't trust it here San Diego State's a great defensive team, but I think they're They're really poor on offense like they've been hitting a bunch of contested jump shots to kind of get through these games They have Just allowed they're a great defensive team So, you know, it's not they're kind of like a Houston in a team that has been really good They they kind of allow you to shoot the three, but don't let you make a lot of them Yeah, the track record isn't quite as good as Houston, but It's not unreasonable to think that they would average like 30% 3.5 goal defense maybe 31 32, you know a Better than division one college basketball average, but it's kind of unthinkable that they'll continue to allow 11% from three, which is what they've done in the last two games. I Just think San Diego State's really overrated that that's more of a take from watching them play. I Like this Florida Atlantic team. They're obviously not perfect.  That's that's the only thing to do And they never really got it inside where they had a clear advantage over a very short team But look, this every new team is really good on both sides of the ball They're they're they're in the 20s on both offense and defense when I look at adjusted points per possession They go basically nine guys deep. So it doesn't really matter if one of them files out Um Just a good basketball team. So I mean I I would kind of lean Florida I haven't bet it but I would definitely towards Florida. I would actually note that like, you know Every other book I looked at earlier today is that San Diego State minus two Fandals definitely leaning towards four Atlantic. I think that's the right side So, uh, I wouldn't be surprised to see the owls make it to the title game Yeah, that uh plus one and a half right now is a minus 102 at vandal sportsbook on the fAU side of things So some balance there if you have two flat elsewhere The three-point shooting discussion you had also does relate to the total. That's right now 131.5 if you think that san diego states Is playing in an unsustainable fashion in terms of their three-point defense that might imply there could be some value in the over Are you taking that ed or do you think this market is pretty fair? Yeah, I mean, I I I'm not just because I do think san diego state is a good defensive team and uh Yeah, I mean, I think they're a good defensive team. So, um Yeah, I I I'm not I'm not too interested in betting it over right now Yeah, the money line for fAU a plus 114 right now So again, make sure shopping around. I think that ed you said you have not bet this yet What would you want that number to be because we do see public action in these games pretty often Which can move markets in a pretty significant way. Where would you want to see that number get to? Before firing on fAU specifically talking about the spread if it gets a two and a half Where your numbers have two and a half on san diego state would you take fAU at that time or Is it likely going to wind up being a stay away for you regardless? Yeah, we'll we'll we'll monitor it. I want to see what drew says about this game Yeah, you can actually follow out on boston on twitter. He actually writes up like some pretty in-depth things about These teams and uh, he's he's he's been a winning college basketball better forever. So I'd recommend following that You know, I mean, I I think I would like fAU maybe maybe like plus 120 on the money line Something like that Maybe plus two and a half. We'll see we'll see where the market goes And we're pretty close to that right now 114 again is the number on the money line So if we can get to 120 Ed might bite there two and a half potentially enticing him as well So keep an eye on the market there for fAU and san diego state Second game on saturday is miami versus uconn right now that spread is five and a half with minus 110 on both sides The total is 149 and a half. Let's start things off with the spread here Ed you mentioned that your more aggressive model is very high on ucon Does that translate here to laying five and a half or is that enough to keep you away? Right. So the more aggressive model has this almost at seven and a half So if you believe uconn is well what they have been over the last four games You certainly want to bet that when you look more at season long averages. It has is that at uh minus four So it was just a miami perhaps has the edge here Um, I you know, miami is pretty interesting because they're they're they're kind of like gonzaga without drew timmy So they're really good on offense. They're fourth in the nation and adjusted points per possession Uh, really get to the basket pretty well. Nigel pack obviously has like been amazing from behind the three They're terrible on defense. They're 88th Uh, when I look at adjusted points per possession, they don't have a lot of height Uh, that's really going to hurt against ucon. I mean, I think sunogo and clingin can do whatever they want Uh, I mean miami does have some width down there, which is going to help but They just don't have a lot of height. Um So, yeah, I mean, you know, it's a pretty guard-based offense. Um Look, you have to be impressed with what miami did is done over the last two games They really had a good second half against both hueson and texas two top five teams I would only counter that a little bit by like, I mean pack hit some incredible shots against hueson Um, miami was clearly the better team all around but he did hit some incredible threes that was was able to stretch that spread Texas was a team. I never really could truly get behind as a title contender Um, just just didn't particularly like That set of players didn't really see that there was an alpha on that team that that I thought could that would really put them over the top You got to give miami credit for what what they did but at the end of the day I think I trust the more aggressive model. Um, I I did bet ucon minus five and a half here I do think this gets higher before tip and And um, yeah, I mean, I I think ucon is gonna You know, again, like I would feel better about this had like alabama done better last week But I feel like they're in the exact same situation and I'm still feeling kind of burnt from just how terribly they played And ucon has been really hot from three and of course you can always go cold at the wrong moment And I mean, that's exactly what a miami team that doesn't really get it done on defense would would need and that can certainly happen But from everything I've seen from looking at kind of the matchups in in this game Uh, I I did bet you go minus five and a half Okay, so it is on ucon minus five and a half here against miami the money line there is minus two 45 The implied odds there 71 percent some other route there potentially if you think that ucon Maybe a bit undervalued could look towards the money line is as well there at minus two 45 again Both ed's models do imply ucon pretty heavily favored to win Maybe not just uh quite to 71 but ed is taking the five and a half total in this game as mentioned One of 49 and a half you talked about miami's defense talked about ucon's hot shooting any read for you on that one ed I would definitely lean towards the under I haven't bet it I feel like it's getting a little inflated from what miami has done over the last two games I don't think they're gonna have similar success ucon is is very good defensively. They have height They they actually defend the dribble drive pretty well. I think they're gonna make life pretty difficult for miami So I would I would lead under I haven't bet it but that's kind of my read on it And it could be a situation again where if markets move later on this week Maybe that makes it a better one So keep an eye on the total there 149 and a half right now if we get some movement towards the over there Maybe we want to bite in the under but as of right now it seems like ucon minus five and a half Favorite way to bet this board right now But ed we're not done with it yet because next week is the national championship game on monday We're gonna talk to you to get your read on that game. We'll talk to you about What you're seeing there maybe talk some you know any any other takes you've got about that We'll talk about that recap the final four as well But ed it has been a delight to talk to you once again for today to preview the men's final four What is going on for you over at the power rank right now? Yeah, I'm still running seven five and I'll get saturday We went down to five just it allows me to put a little bit more effort into each one Right make sure that that is a little bit more stellar. It's also a little bit easier outside of football season so It's my curated list of sports betting tips and bets and analytics and humor Actually got a complaint about the humor this week jim.

I have a joy putting that together I get some real joy putting it together because uh, it allows me to kind of interact with people that I know and Yeah, I've had people like drew martin and mike craig, uh, you know, give me some of their takes for the newsletter and uh You know, look if you want to wake up saturday morning and you want to get down on something Like I I'm I try to be there for you like every single saturday and then also like kind of spread some uh tips in terms of uh You know just insights and stuff like I had some stuff about I mean uconn was not actually in the preseason top 25 Which is usually a warning sign, but um But I you know, I gave the reasons why I thought they were I mean, I think the roster is awesome Yeah, sometimes you're wrong about that. Um so, uh, yeah, I talked about that actually it had, uh MLB win total last week. So yeah, I try to do everything there. So just check that out at thepowerrank.com And uh, yeah, I'll hook you up.
