From Copenhagen, Denmark, it's theCUBE. Covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018. Brought to you by the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Okay, welcome back everyone. Live coverage here in theCUBE in Europe at Copenhagen, Denmark for KubeCon Europe 2018. This is theCUBE, it's supposed to have the CNC at the CloudNative Compute Foundation, part of Linux Foundation. I'm John Furry, co-host of theCUBE with Lauren Cooney, the founder of Spark Labs, new venture around open source and innovation. Our analysts here today with theCUBE and our two guests are Michael Hausenblass, who's the direct developer advocate at Red Hat. Diane Muller is the director of community development at Red Hat, talking about OpenShift, Red Hat, and just the rise and success of OpenShift has been really well documented here on theCUBE, but certainly in the industry everyone's taking notice. Great to see you again, welcome to theCUBE. Good to see you. Thank you. Wonderful to be here again. So first of all, a lot of big news going on. CoreOS is now part of Red Hat, so that's exciting. I haven't had a chance to talk to you guys about that yet here on theCUBE, but get great puzzle piece from the industry there for you guys. Congratulations. It's been a wonderful collaboration. Having the CoreOS team as part of the Red Hat and the OpenShift team, it's just a perfect fit. And the team from CoreOS, they've always been my favorite people. And Brandon Phillips and the team over there are just awesome and to have the expertise from Techconics, the operator framework, which you'll hear more about here at KubeCon EU this week, to have Kwee under the wings of Red Hat now, and Kwee is a registry with OpenShift or with any other Kubernetes thing. The stuff that they brought to the table and the expertise, and as well as the wonderful culture that they had is just, it was such a perfect fit with OpenShift. And you guys bring a lot to the table too, and I've been kind of critical of CoreOS in the past in a good way, because I love those guys. I had good chats with them over the years, but they were so pure open source guys, like Red Hat. Well, there's nothing wrong with being pure open source. No, I'm cool with that, but you guys have perfected the business model. You have great customers. So one of the things that they were always strong at was the open source piece, but when you start to monetize and you start to get into the commercialization, it's hard for a startup to be both pure open source and to monetize, you guys now have it together. Yeah, great fit. It's a wonderful thing. We at, on the OpenShift side, we have the OpenShift Commons, which is our open source community, and we've sort of flipped the model of community development, and that's at Red Hat. And one of the things is they've been really strong at CoreOS with their open source projects, whether it's at CD or, you know, a whole myriad of other things. Well, let's double down on that. I want to get your thoughts. What is this OpenShift Commons? Take a minute to talk about what you guys had. You had an event Monday. It was a word on the streets here in the hallways, it was very positive. Take a minute to explain what happened, what's going on with that program. So OpenShift Commons is the open source community around OpenShift Origin, but it also includes all the upstream projects that we collaborate with, with everybody from the Kubernetes world, from the Prometheus, all the CNCF project leads, all kinds of people from the upstream projects that are part of the OpenShift ecosystem, as well as all the service providers and partners who are doing wonderful things and all the hosts, like Google and, you know, there's just Microsoft Azure folks are in there. But it's, we've kind of flipped the model of community development on its head in the past, if you were a community manager, which is what I started out as, is you were trying to get people to contribute to your own code base. And here, because there's so much cross-community collaboration going on, we've got people working on Kubernetes, we've got Kubernetes people making commits to Origin, we work on the OCI Foundation, trying to get the container stuff all figured out. So you say flip the model, you mean there's now multiple project contributions going on? Yeah, there's multiple, we've got our fingers in lots of pies now and we have to, the collaboration has to be open and there has to be a lot of communication. So the OpenShift Commons is really about creating those peer-to-peer networks. We do a lot of stuff virtual. I host my own OpenShift Commons briefings twice a week and I could probably go to three or four days a week and do it because there's so much information. There's a firehose of new stuff, new features, new releases, the stuff Michael just did one on FAS. You did one before for the machine learning SIG on OpenShift on Caled. I want to just get your thoughts Michael on this because what came up yesterday in theCUBE was integration, glue layers are really important. So I can see the connection here. Having this Commons model allows people to kind of cross-pollinate one to talk about integration because if you've got Prometheus, I might use Kubeflow. So there's new things happening. What does this mean for the integration piece? Good for it or accelerating it? What's your thoughts? So I mainly work upstream, which means when it is Kubeflow and other projects and for me these kind of areas where you can bring together both the developers and the end users, which is super important for us to get the feedback to see where people really are struggling. And we hear a lot from those people that meet there what their pain points are. And that is the best way to essentially shape the agenda to say, well, maybe let's prioritize this over this other feature. And as you mentioned integration being one big part and functions of service being, could be considered as the visual basic of applications for cloud native computing. It can act as this kind of glue between different things there. And I'm super excited about Commons. That's for me a great place to actually meet these people. So the Commons is almost a cross pollination of folks that are actually using the code, building the code, and they see other projects that it makes sense to contribute to. And so it's an alignment where you allow for that cross pollination. It's a huge series of conversations. And one of the things that is really important to all of the projects is as Michael said, is getting that feedback from production deployments, people who are working on stuff. So we have, I think we're at around 375 organizational members. So there's... What percentage of end user organizations do you think? It's probably about 50-50. You can go to commons.openshift.org and look at the participants list. There's, I'm behind a little bit in getting everybody in there, but... So it's good healthy dose of end users. Good healthy dose of end users. There's some special interest groups. Our special interest groups are more around use cases. So they'll be, we just hosted a machine learning reception two nights ago. We had about 200 people in the room. I'd say 50% of them were from the Kubeflow community and the other 50% were users or people who are building frameworks for people to run on OpenShift. And so our goal, as always, is to make OpenShift the optimal, the best place to run your, in this case, machine learning workloads. And I think that's super critical because one of the things that I've been following a little bit and I have your blog entry in front of me is the operator framework and really what you're trying to do with that framework and how it's progressing and where it's going and really if you can talk a little bit about what you're doing there, I think that would be great for our viewers. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to make sure you get Brandon Phillips here on your Kubeflow sometime this week because I don't want to steal the thunder from his keynote tomorrow morning. Well, drop a couple hands. Share a little bit, come on. So the operator stuff that CoreOS and they brought it to the table. So it's really their baby. They had done a lot of work to make sure that they had first class access to be able to inject things into Kubernetes itself and make it run. And they're going to do a better technical talk on it and make things run. And so what they've done is they've opened it up and created an SDK for operators so other people can build more. And we think this is a tipping point for Kubernetes. So, and I really don't want to steal any thunder here. Or get in over my head is the other part of it too. I think Brandon is the right person to talk about that. We'll drag Brandon over here. I'm super excited about it, but let that be. Yeah, well let's talk about why you're super excited about it. Is there anything you can kind of tell us in terms of what? It enables people to run any kind of workload in Kubernetes in a reliable, automated fashion. So you bring the experience that human operators have into software. So you automate that bit, which makes it even more suitable to run your enterprise application that so far might not have been the best place to run. That's great. And yeah, I'm also looking forward to Brandon explaining the details here. So yeah, I think it's great hearing about that. And we talk a lot about how it's great for users. It's great operators, developers, how they're building things out and things along those lines. But one of the things that we are not hearing a ton about here and we want to hear more about is security. Right. Security is increasingly important. You know, we're hearing bits and pieces, but nothing's really kind of coming together here. And what are your thoughts on that? Security, I was recently, when I logged about it and people on Twitter said, well, is that really true that, you know, Kubernetes is secure by default? It's like, well, all the pieces are there. You need to be aware of it. You need to know what you're doing. But it is there, right? It might not, all the defaults might not be as you would expect it, but you can enable it and you can. And I think we did a lot of innovations there as well. Be it, you know, RBAC and the security context and so on. And actually, Liz Rice, myself, we're working on a Kubernetes security cookbook for Riley that will come out later this year. We're trying to document these best practices because it is early days and it's quite a range of things from building container images in a secure way to access control and so on. So there's a lot of stuff there. What are some of the end user feedback sessions or feedback data that you're getting from these sessions? What are some of the things you guys are hearing? What's the patterns? What's the things that are boiling up to the top? Yeah, there's so many. I mean, this conference is one of those ones where it's a cornucopia of talks and trying to, I've just wrote a little blog post code, The Hitchhiker's Guide to KubeCon. It's on blog.openship.com. And because you could spend all of your time here in a different track and never leave it like a security one or an operations one. It's a lot of great content. I think the Istio stuff is probably the hottest thing I'm hearing people going to. There was a great deep dive training session hands on on Monday here that got incredible feedback, IBM, and Google did that one. We had a lot of customer talks and hands on training sessions on Monday. Here there are pretty much, there's a great talk coming up this afternoon on KubeControllers, that magic. I think that's at 11.45-ish. There are a lot of the stuff around service mesh and service brokers is really kind of the hot thing that people are looking for to get implemented. And we've got a lot of people from Red Hat working on that. There's, oh man, there's at CD updates. There's a bazillion things. It's exploding big time here. No doubt about it. The number one thing that I'm seeing last couple of months being answered with customers and also here is that given that Kubernetes is now the defective standard of container orchestration people are much more willing to go all in. A lot of folks were on the fence for a couple of years going like which one is going to make it. Now it's kind of like this is a gift. You can, you know, just as Linux is everywhere on servers, that's the same with Kubernetes and people are now happy to really invest. They're like, okay, let's do it. Well, we're hearing too, just stepping back and looking at the big picture is we see the trend, kind of hearing and connecting the dots is the number of nodes is going to expand significantly. I mean, CERN was on stage yesterday and we heard theirs and still small. Not a lot of huge, not a lot of scale. So we think that the scale question is coming quickly. Well, I think it already came. All right, in the machine learning reception that we had tonight, one of the gentlemen, Willem Buchwalter from Microsoft and Diane Fedema from Red Hat. And a whole lot of people are talking about how do we get, because machine learning workloads have such huge work, you know, GPU and Google has their GPU requirements to get to scale to run these things that people are already pushing the envelope on Kubernetes. Jeremy Eater from Red Hat has done some incredible performance management work and there's on the CNCF blog, they've posted all of that. To get the optimal performance and to get the scale is now, I think, one of the next big things and there's a lot of talks on that. And Istio, that's Istio's kind of big service mesh opportunity there is to bring that to the next level. To the next level, you know, there's going to be a lot of things that people are going to experience trying to get the most out of their clusters. But also, I think we're still at the edge of that. I mean, someone said something about getting to 2,500 nodes and I'm like thinking that's just the beginning, baby. Yeah, it's going to be a couple zeros. I got to ask you guys, got to put you both on the spot here because this is what we do on theCUBE. You guys are great supporters of theCUBE, we appreciate that, but we've had many conversations over the years with OpenShift. Going back to OpenStacks, I don't know what year it was, maybe 2012 or I forget what year it was. Now, the success of OpenShift was really interesting. You guys took this to a whole other level. What's the reaction as you look back now on where you were with OpenShift and where you are today? Yeah. Do you pinch yourself and saying, damn, or what's your view on what you're doing? Red Hat made a big bet on Kubernetes three years ago, three and a half years ago when people thought we were crazy. They hadn't seen it, they didn't understand what Google was trying to open source and some of the engineers inside of Red Hat, Clayton Coleman, Matt Hicks, a lot of great people saw what was coming, reached out, worked with Google and the rest of us were like, well, what about Ruby and Rails and MongoDB and doing all this stuff and we've invested so much in gears and cartridges and then once they explained it and once Google really open sourced the whole thing, making that bet as a company and pivoting on that dime and making version 3.0 of OpenShift and OpenShift Origin as a Kubernetes-based platform as a service and then switching over to being a container platform. That was a huge thing and if you had talked to me back then, three years ago, it was kind of like, is this the right way to go? But then, you know, okay. It's an important history document at that point because I remember we talked about it and one of the things, you guys made a good bet and people were scratching their head at the time, big time, but also you got to give credit to the community because the leaders in the community recognized the importance of Kubernetes early on. We've been in those conversations and said, hey, you know, you can't screw this up because it was an opportunity. People saw the vision and saw it as a great opportunity. I think as much as the technical bits as an engineer, the API being written and go and so on, I really think the community, that is what really makes a difference. If you compare it with others, they're also successful, but here with CNCF, all the projects, all the people coming together, and I love the community. It's a case study of how to execute, in my opinion. You guys did a great job in your role and the people didn't get in the way and try to mess it up. Great, smart people understood it, shepherded it through, let it grow. And it really is kudos to the Kubernetes community and the CNCF for incubating all of this wonderful cross-community collaboration. They do a great job with their ambassadors program. The Kubernetes community does amazing stuff around their SIGs and making sure that projects get correctly incubated. They're not afraid to re-jig the processes. They've just done a wonderful thing changing the way that new projects come into the Kubernetes. And I think that willingness to learn, learn from mistakes, to evolve is something that's really kind of unique to the whole new way of thinking about open source now and that's the change that we've seen. Open source, open movements, always have a defining moment. The OSI model, remember, that stack never got fully standardized but it stopped at a really important point. GCP IP, IP became really important. It created the interoperability world, Cisco as we know and others. This is that kind of moment where there's going to be a massive wealth creation, value creation opportunity because you have people getting behind something as a de facto standard and then there's a lot of edge work around it that can be innovated on. I think to me, this is going to be one of those moments we look back on. And I think it's that willingness to adjust the processes, to work with the community and that Kubernetes, the ethos that's around this project, we've learned from a lot of other foundations mistakes. We, you know, not that they're better or worse but we've learned that you could see the way we're bringing in new projects and adding them on. We took a step back as a community and said, okay, this is, we're getting too many too soon, too fast and maybe, you know, this is not quite the right way to go and rather than doing the big tent umbrella approach, we've actually started doing some really rethinking of our processes and the governing board and the TOC of the CNCF have done an awesome job getting that done. When you got lighting in a bottle, you stop and you package it up and you run with it. Congratulations, Red Hat Summit next week will be there. Thank you. Looking forward to, you know, going deep on this. Well, the OpenShift Commons gathering is the day before Red Hat Summit.  We've gone from being our first one, I think we had 150 people come. There's over 700 people now coming to the gathering one and 25 customers with production deployments speaking and this is the day before Red Hat Summit and I lost count of how many OpenShift stories are being told at Red Hat Summit. It's going to be a crazy jet laggy week next week, so. Congratulations, you guys got a spring in your step. Well done. OpenShift going to the next level. Certainly the industry with Kubernetes. Service measures is to do a lot of great coverage here in the cube. Here in Europe for KubeCon 2018 in Copenhagen, Denmark. I'm John Furrier, Lauren Cooney, the founder of Spark Labs. I'm with theCUBE. We'll be back with more live coverage. Stay with us, day two here at KubeCon. We'll be right back.


And in entertainment news, Nigerian singers Davido and Bonoboi have both had their fans buzzing with excitement following the release of their new songs. Both singers released new songs of their respective next albums on Friday and fans are taking to Twitter to read both singers on their individual songs. While Davido preached hope and motivation in Stand Strong, Bonoboi talked about love and how to break in last to last.


43 years after their divorce, her ex-husband suddenly stops her with this sign. It was an ordinary day like so many others. She made her way to work and started it with a huge smile. But as the day went on, she got a surprise visitor. In one split second, she would be transported back to 1959, and the smile she started her day off with would quickly be wiped away. Renata Stump, a German native, had a strict upbringing. At only 18 years old her parents didn't have enough money to send her to college, so she needed to find a job to help them out and she did. Renata found a job at an army base in Germany in the late 1950s, but little did she know, she wouldn't be staying in Germany for long. There at the army base, she met the love of her life or so she thought. Renata worked in the army base kitchen preparing and serving food for the soldiers. But one day, a man was mesmerized by Renata and her cooking. This was just the beginning of their story. Renata was working in the kitchen that day when a young soldier approached her. This young man was Louis Dimitriades, who was stationed at the same base Renata was in. Both of them were 18, so they had a lot in common, and this sparked massive chemistry between them. But it was not until Louis asked Renata to make him a burger that he fell in love. The first time I ever saw him, he asked me if I could fix him a hamburger. He liked who he saw, so he asked to go help me out in the kitchen. Renata told ABC News. These two lovebirds quickly married. But then, Louis got an offer to work in the U.S. that he could not and would not refuse. Subsequently, both Renata and Louis moved to the United States and began a family. Both kept blossoming for them, but they would still have hardships they would have to endure in the future. They integrated themselves pretty well into America, but still, Renata couldn't handle the language barrier. Renata had never studied English, and it was very hard for her to communicate in the language and understand her surroundings easily. That is where things started going south for the couple. We had little financial support, I didn't know anything, and I could barely speak English, Renata told ABC News. We started arguing about every little thing. In the years that followed, Louis and Renata decided to get a divorce. This decision was not an easy one, but they knew it was the right one, for both of them. They moved on with their lives, but still, Louis could not forget Renata so easily. Louis married and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. Renata also remarried and lived happily with her new husband. But even though Renata and Louis shared children, they weren't in contact whatsoever. Forty years had passed, but Louis had some. Unfinished business he needed to settle with his old flame. Renata went to work that day, like any other. But while she was speaking to a customer, she sensed someone behind her.  Emotions washed over her like a tidal wave. At first, she felt surprised, and then angry. Then she felt overwhelming confusion that was quickly replaced with curiosity. What could Louis want from her after all this time? And how had he found her? You see, Louis had secretly contacted Renata's daughter on Facebook. Her daughter had warned him that Renata may not react well to his plan, but still gave him all the information he needed. Renata had no idea all of this was happening. But once she turned around and saw him, she started shaking. At first, Renata had thought nothing of seeing her children approach her. Her kids would come to say hi from time to time while she was working, but when she turned and saw her ex-husband standing behind her, she knew in her heart that Louis and her own children had set her up. Renata could not believe what she was seeing. She had not seen Louis in 43 years.  But what did he want from her after being apart for so long? And more importantly, did Renata even want to see him? Then she saw the sign he was holding in his hands, and it all made sense. Louis had wanted that day to be more than special. He had planned everything. He had talked to Renata's employer and the people she worked with, and let them in on his plan. He even had one of Renata's daughters capture everything on camera. But that was not all. Louis was holding a sign. But first, as there is locked, he said, hey good looking and put the sign up so she could read it. As soon as she did, Renata immediately started to cry. The sign read, happy Valentine's Day, but that wasn't all. Renata continued to read and then broke down. Will you marry me, was scrawled at the bottom of Louis's sign. Renata was at a loss for words, but then she went in for a hug. The pair embraced, and it was clear to see that the love that there once was had never left these two. Still, Louis was looking for an answer to his question on the sign, but Renata's answer was not exactly what he had expected. No, Renata jokingly responded before adding, yes, but not today. Renata gasped. Even though Louis was hoping for a yes, he was okay with her answer, and they both chuckled. But still, she went on to explain why she had decided to decline Louis' proposal on the spot, for now. 43 years is a long time, and to say yes right away, I'm gonna have to test him a little bit first, she revealed. Even though Renata and Louis' spouses had long since passed on, it was. Still not an easy decision after all, the couple had failed to make things work the first time around. But perhaps the pair have some new insights into their relationship now that 43 years have passed. I will marry him though, because he's a good man, Renata admitted. Their marriage had been tricky and full of ups and downs, so Renata was wise to take everything slow. Hopefully, after 43 years, the pair can work out their differences. But why did Louis plan everything as he did? He wanted her to share this day with her friends and loved ones. Renata is an incredibly social woman and he knew that this would not only be a shock to her, but also, all of her friends would be there too. He wanted to declare his love for Renata among all the people she cherished the most. Why did I come to Walmart to propose to my wife again? Louis said in an interview, It's because she has so many friends here, and I knew she would like. To share that with them, he explained. But how did he know his proposal would be well received? It was a big risk to pop the question in such a public place. The video of Louis' surprise proposal to the woman he hadn't seen in over 40 years became an internet sensation, with the original video garnering over 600,000 views. Soon, local news channels snapped up the story too. People just can't get over such a surprising and heartwarming reunion, and all were enamored by the 75-year-old love story. As the story went viral, people couldn't help but comment on what they thought about this incredible story. Some commenters even knew Renata. This makes you feel great, one lady said. Renata's, my favorite cashier too.


Well, Logic is back at it again, talking about mental health in the brand new single he just dropped titled Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. And wow, like I was getting ready to go to bed and then this song dropped and I listened and I could relate to it a ton and I know a lot of you can as well. So this is my mental health reaction to Logic's new song Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. What I try to do is pull different topics from pop culture and hopefully try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So for any of that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, just so you know if you're new to my channel, I am not a licensed therapist. I am somebody who has worked in the field but I like to use a lot of my own experiences, my own mental health issues as well as you know people I've worked with and talked to and things like that to try to bring up topics. So hopefully this could help. And one of the things that's very therapeutic for me and I know a lot of you out there is connecting with song lyrics, right? So Logic, I love that dude. I love him and I know some people haven't liked some of his recent stuff. I've I've thought the production on a lot of them have been really good.  I don't know if any of you watched the song he just did with Joseph Gordon Levitt's company Hit Record but that was awesome. Anyways, Logic's awesome. Logic, another reason why I connect with him is he is another guy like myself who's half African-American but does not look it at all. The only difference is Logic has a much sicker flow than I do. You know what I mean? Like because everybody wants to tell you who you are, what you are, where you should fit in or what you should do and it's like no, I'm biracial. But anyways, so he just dropped this song Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. I'm gonna be talking about it.  It'll be linked down in the description below. I am new to the whole music reaction thing so I'll be throwing up some video clips but I do not know how to not get copyright claimed by using copyrighted music. So use your imagination, go check out his song after this video or you probably already listened to his song. Anyways, there's a few different things that I want to talk about. So this video, I was sitting here watching him like wait is his throat slash like what's going on but then when he starts rapping and getting into it like he's talking about some of these mental health struggles that he's dealing with. I remember when he released his song with the phone number for the Suicide Prevention hotline and like he was inspired by that song or to make that song because so many of his fans said like his music helps save their life and he like didn't really like even get it until he started meeting his fans and stuff and you know he even admitted that he hadn't really struggled with really any mental health issues and things like that. So it's really cool seeing him release this track Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and talk about some of his own struggles. So one of the things he's talking about is like just social media and all the input and a lot of it has to do with just blowing up as an artist but like one of the one of the things that he talks about is like all of the pressures you know all the input of social media and like he talks about no wonder why like rappers are turning to substance abuse and things like that and this is very common right. This is not only very common for like rappers it's very common for people you know people turn to substance abuse as a way to cope right from my experience and from what I've learned there's three primary reasons why people drink or use drugs if you're somebody who you know turns to substances to you know deal with your problems you might be able to relate to get a feeling to get rid of a feeling or to have an escape right and with all of the massive criticisms an artist can get especially when you're in the public eye like it can be rough it can be difficult so I have become so much more empathetic towards other youtubers as well as celebrities and things like that because you know my channel was built upon making a lot of videos you know using youtubers as a reference and trying to teach others about mental health and things like that and like now that I've gotten a lot more attention and gotten some negative attention and things like I can empathize so so so much more I was actually watching a smaller youtuber today I was actually watching a few smaller youtubers today one of them had less than a thousand one of them had about five thousand and they were just talking with this kind of like they don't they don't give a f attitude you know they don't care what people think and I was talking with my beautiful girlfriend Tristan about this and just being like man I remember that because my channel kind of blew up in the last year and like there's not as much pressure when you're smaller there's not as much pressure so you know a youtuber or even somebody like logic you know when you're getting started like you're getting you're getting the feedback you know what I mean you could be on that you know that high of everybody loving you and things like that but the higher you get the more critics you get as well so that pressure increases like I remember starting my own you know starting this youtube channel I started recording on my cell phone before I got like you know the money to get a camera and light and like a microphone and things like that and you know it was easy to deal with comments because you're getting like five ten of them right but when you start getting like thousands upon thousands upon thousands it's just like I said it's like that pressure it just gets more and more intense you know what I'm saying so as it goes on and he talks throughout this song he talks about like reading you know you know things on twitter or instagram you know he talks about like haters and he talks about loving them and you know that that'll kill him you know so you know kill him with kindness and things like that but something that came up today because the last two days I've spoken at a high school and answered a lot of questions about mental health the stigma and things like that and something that came up today was you know people minimizing other people's issues saying like oh you haven't been through this you don't get it right and something that you know I think will bring us you know a lot closer together just as a society like you know in the world it's just understanding that everybody's reality is their reality right like it doesn't matter what job you have there are its own stresses and things so something I was talking to the the high school kids about because you know some of them have like parents who are like oh you can't be stressed out I work a you know nine hour day you can't be stressed out right but something I was you know talking to them about too is that we should never minimize somebody else's experience and I see this happen with a lot of celebrities right like I remember there was a story you know in 2018 where Justin Bieber got a lot of backlash just talking about how you know celebrities aren't always happy and you know they have their own struggles and their own issues and he got a lot of flack a lot of flack right and from my experience like um it's like people think that money increases happiness and from my experience that's not true right money doesn't increase happiness for most people money decreases stress okay but here's the thing with every new level you get like the higher you get in life there's going to be new stresses and what I was telling the high school kids is like you're in high school right now you know once you you know when you get towards your junior senior year you're gonna start prepping for college and everything like that there's going to be stress right you know studying for finals sat's acts college applications college essays you know applying for scholarships all these things that is your main focus and all these stresses and then you get that letter in the mail that says you got into college and oh my god it's so great right but then you get to college now you're in a new place now you don't know anybody now there's like you know college cramming and all that stress for those tests and everything like that but you make it through and you graduate but now once you graduate you got to find a job you got to find a good job you got to find a job that pays you right like now there's a new stress around that then you get the job well now at that job you got a boss to worry about you know you got co-workers who you know might stress you out so like what i'm trying to say is is no matter who you are or what you're going through no matter what we get there's always going to be new stresses associated with it so like i i just you know i've especially come into a more empathetic place but i hope other people can do that too where you look at these celebrities and it's not just like oh you know book up like you you got it nice you got millions of dollars you know what i mean but actually going through the comment section on this video there was a lot of people thanking him and thanking for him for talking about his mental health and all of that and i think that's super super super important and the last thing i want to talk about is his ending line where he kind of sings you know where you talk about put your ego on the shelf and love yourself and yeah like that that's a huge thing i've been reading books on ego you know to help manage my own ego and that's it that's a huge huge thing and i've made some videos recently about vulnerability and shame from brunette brown and all that but like self love and self compassion is something that i know i know i have struggled with and i know a lot of people who come to me have struggled with these things as well and self love is a very very difficult thing for a lot of people so if you're struggling with it i can pretty much guarantee that you are not the only person you know struggling with it as well and i actually have some books on my reading list that i'm going to get to like there's some great authors out there who specialize you know in learning how to have self compassion self love and all of those things but a lot of the criticisms from the outside from my experience a lot of those things come when you don't fully love yourself you know like even with all the criticisms i've received and i've gotten and things like that when i look deep down inside it's not so much what the other people are saying it's how i view how i see myself you know and you might be able to relate to that but anyways if you have listened to logic's new song confessions of a dangerous mind let me know your thoughts down below how did you interpret it what did you take from it can you relate to it or any of the topics that i've discussed like the more you succeed in life the more there's new stresses and all that kind of stuff let let me know let's have a conversation and nice gentle conversation down in the comments below and let everybody know you're not alone in those struggles all right but anyways that's all i got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you are all amazing and if you'd like to become a patreon get involved in our monthly q

Hi, Chip Howard here, host of Live From Mars and founding member of the Chip's Discount Electronics Mars Colony. It seems like everybody has a Mars Colony these days, Russia, Christians, Jim Cameron. So what makes the Chip's Discount Electronics Mars Colony so special? Well, the answer is you. We've already made quite a home here on the red planet, including luxury housing, locally grown food from our hydroponic farms, and a secret underground tunnel system that's technically not under the jurisdiction of OSHA or any labor unions. Our drones do all the heavy lifting around here. You'll have more time to relax. That's a rental, actually. That means you'll have more time to relax and enjoy our many amenities, like the space bar. Bill here makes a mean Martian mule. I have three PhDs. Me too. We've even started construction on our second dome. We just don't have enough power, oxygen or water to run it quite yet. But that's where you come in, please. Turns out it takes a lot of resources to start a civilization on a lifeless planet. And boy, do we need more of them. We're looking to raise $1 billion to keep this colony going. Your money will go towards replenishing our stocks of polymers so we can build more crucial life support systems. A hospital to help our colitis deal with the negative side effects of life support system failure. And a prefab refueling station so that we always have the option to get the f*** out of here. Not that we'd want to, but just in case. And as a thank you for donating, you'll also receive exclusive premium rewards. For just $100,000, we'll play in a tree in your name. We gotta start terraforming somehow, and we haven't learned how to do that yet, so... For $25 million, you can get your very own rare Martian medals. We gotta sell this stuff, and that's how much it costs. Shipping may take a few years. That's where I'm at.  You can spend the day in one of our specialty RC drones with no other useful functions and take in the local scenery, like rocks. Travel expense is not included. We're so excited to achieve our dream of staying alive on Mars. So from all of us here at Chip's Discount Electronics Martian Colony, thank you in advance for your support. We wouldn't survive without it. Please donate. And see rocks! Thank you again to Paradox for sponsoring this video. We had a ton of fun making it. They just released a new expansion to their game, Surviving Mars. You can find a link to it in the description. It's called Below and Beyond, and it introduces like a whole underground system where you can continue your base underneath the surface. It also adds asteroid mining with like a limited window to be able to grab really rare materials. The game in general is a Mars Colony simulator and resource management game where you're trying to make your own Mars Colony and terraform the planet. So if that sounds like something you'd be into, just follow the link below. And thanks for watching.


I am so excited to be here at the grand opening of Peace of Soul Vegan Kitchen. My name is Sabrina Odom-Edris. I am the executive director for the North Columbia Business Association. We are the heartbeat of North Columbia. We serve as our resident visitors and business owners in many ways as they are the ones who help sustain and grow our community in many ways. I am truly thrilled that the Peace of Soul Vegan Kitchen has decided to open their restaurant doors right here in the Noma District. To my knowledge, I know that this has been a dream so far for a very long time. And the process leading up to this big day has been filled with hard work, but everything was worth it. I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the Peace of Soul make a name for themselves, not only in here, Columbia, but throughout the state and many more areas through their food truck travels, promotion of vegan education and mutual partnerships. Again, I am very excited for this restaurant and the many successes to come. The North Columbia Business Association is here to support any business needs you may have to ensure success. We are truly grateful you choose to make Noma your home. Thank you. If I'm at the point that Melissa still has to introduce me, we've got a problem. So, I don't need an introduction, I hope and pray. I'm excited to be here today with Falami. The Peace of Soul Vegan, of course, this is a new look, a new face on an institution that has actually been a part of this community for quite a long time. As you think about the pioneers, when no one else was coming across Elmwood Avenue to invest in North Columbia, you actually had trendsetters, pioneers who want to come up here and not only invest, but invest in family-friendly, healthy living that actually tastes good. As a pescetarian who farts with veganism every once in a while, it's been a wonderful respite for so many of us for so long. So, to know all the things that this institution, its predecessors, its family has meant to North Columbia to providing new life on this historic commercial corridor for years, it's exciting time to be here. You can bring a new life into all institutions and prepare us all as a community for the future, and it's a great day. So, excited to be here with Ms. Jeter, and Melissa, if you want to introduce her, I will get out of the way, and I'm sorry. Oh, Mr. Day, oh, Councilman, I'm sorry. He moves around like a phantom. It's my pleasure to introduce my friend and the Councilman from District One, my mentor, my brother, who does so much to fight for North Columbia every single day, Sam Davis. I'm only late because I had one of the most gratifying difficulties, the streetscape. I just had to bob my way through that. I think the occasion is appropriate, all has been said, and we're just happy that we were able to partner with our good friends and also to help promote their addition to this location. They've been here for a while and decided to do some housekeeping, house keeping, rearranging, and so forth. But that's an example of what the trend is, and that is to stay committed to this area and commit to quality services. We've had the occasion over a period of time to not only send folks here by way of referral, but I think we've brought some folks here on tour to sample the goodies, and a number of them have become return visitors, return customers, and that's what it's all about. We appreciate it, and we're going to remain committed, as we are, with everybody that's coming in to make sure that we're responsive, we promote them, and that we continue to show our appreciation for them. So thank you. Good afternoon. My name is Melissa Lenlar. I'm the director for the Office of Business Opportunities with the City of Columbia, and it's such a great opportunity here for the City of Columbia to partner with Ms. Jeter today as she reopens a piece of soul vegan kitchen formerly lamb spread. Ms. Jeter actually bought this restaurant seven years ago from her father, and since then she's established a devoted, expanded customer base that stretches across neighboring states, and although the name has changed, let me reassure you the food is still there that we fell in love with before she closed for the renovations. So Ms. Jeter, I want to bring you up, and I want to make sure before you come up we're happy to be a part of this journey with you. We've been a part of your past, and we have been a part of your transition, and we will certainly be a part of your future. Thank you. The overwhelms, but 100% grateful and humbled that you all would show up for me. I have a couple of thank yous that I'm going to try and manage to get out. It's initially certainly my parents who have instilled in me an entrepreneurial spirit, so I can wake up every day and do this even on the days when it feels like I'm much rather asleep. So I want to thank the City of Columbia, of course. I want to thank the South Carolina community, I want to thank Roger Shriver who kind of jumped in, not even knowing me very well, and threw himself into being project manager to make all of this happen. I want to thank LCB Contracting. I want to thank whoever I forgot just now, because I'm really thinking about the mac and cheese that I have in the oven, and I really don't want to burn, but I'm grateful to be here. We've been here, some representation of my family has been here since 2005. I'm actually from the Columbia area, so it's only right that we continue our legacy here. So thank you all for showing up, and thank you for all of your support. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is James Chatfield. I serve as the chief lending officer for the South Carolina Community Loan Fund. I will not be before you very long at all, I promise.  I'm thankful for the opportunity of having met Ms. Jeter a little over a year ago. The first time I was in her restaurant was the very first time that I tried vegan food, and to my surprise, it was quite tasty. So I told her, hey, I'm thinking about becoming vegan. She said, wait a minute, James, not everyone's food is as good as mine. So my journey to veganism continues, but thankful for Ms. Jeter's persistent entrepreneurship. I often call her when I speak of her, a case study in persistent entrepreneurship. That first time when I met her and we discussed what she wanted to do with the property, I shared with her it looked like the numbers didn't work at that time. However, she did not give up. She remained persistent. She displayed her passion. She pressed forward. She brought additional partners to the table in the form of the opposite business opportunities and Brett and Melissa, who have been great partners to us as well. So thankful that she invested in herself, didn't give up on herself, didn't give up on her dream. Thankful for what this business means to the community, what it means to our city, and most importantly, I'm thankful for what it means to minority entrepreneurs across the city. Because Ms. Jeter did it, they now know that they can too. So with that, I'm going to go ahead and get out your way. But before I do, I do want to say Ms. Jeter, I am looking forward to the day that you take the piece of soul concept nationwide. You've heard it here first. So thank you all. Good afternoon. My name is Brett Whiting. I'm the loan officer with the Office of Business Opportunities, City of Columbia. The similar story to James, the first time I've ever had vegan food was right here. And needless to say, I was very reluctant. I'm not what you would consider prototype for veganism. I was told that you've got to have something to eat when you get there. So I said, okay, well, I'll do it. But to make a long story short, when I left here, I could never say I'm not a vegan either, because the food was fantastic. I also want to say how proud I am of Ms. Jeter. I started this project early on with James. And we were back and forth. And Ms. Jeter was like, you know, this is my vision. This is what I want to get done. James and I were like, we're going to get this done. We're going to make this work. We just have to have everything that we need to make it work. And Ms. Jeter came to the table again and again and again. And here we are today. This location is a beacon for the vision that we have in our office. We want to duplicate this kind of progress in all the different corridors throughout the city. And I look forward to seeing that growth and the opportunity to eat again here often. So with that, I will turn this over to my director, Melissa Lindler, and better speaker speech. Thank you. Again, I want to thank Ms. Jeter for a number of things. One is for bringing back the renewed visibility of the development that's taking place here in the North Columbia area, but also the renewed visibility of minority-owned businesses in the area. The city of Columbia, through our leadership, Mayor Benjamin, Councilman Davis and our other leaders, they have a vested interest in all of our communities to succeed. And they have a priority also to make sure our minority-owned businesses have the resources and tools that they need to be successful. And we're here to get today as a partner, our Office of Economic Development, Ryan Coleman's here, and he understands, like all of us, that our small business community, you're the essence of our economy. You're the essence of the community. You make the community what it is. And we're so happy to be a part of that. And we look forward to not, again, being a part of your future. I know for one, I have been here and I am so happy to be back open so I can have lunch again and get back on my plant-based diet. Wink, wink. But thank you also for educating not only this community, but also the city of Columbia about vegan, the vegan restaurant and vegan eating and healthy food options as a way to improve the health of our community. So thank you and I will now have our ribbon cutting.


OK. So I had two things I was trying to decide about, which one to talk about. And I had thought my collaborator had talked about one at this conference, but it turns out that it was at a previous conference. So I'm going to talk about this topic. And then if I have time at the end, I'm going to talk briefly about another topic. So let me start with this. This is work I've done with Boris Spivek. And it's also based on earlier work in these papers. And the question we asked ourselves was what is the nature of the superconducting state when one makes a wire in which the wire is not a single crystal of a high temperature superconductor but made out of a composite of many grains? And this was actually a problem that was suggested to us by Aaron Kepitonik. So what we're going to be doing is looking at physics, at scales much larger than either the separation between grains or the size of grains. And we're always going to assume that the grains are, in turn, much larger than the superconducting coherence length. So all the microscopic physics of superconductivity is irrelevant. All that happens is we have a superconducting state on each grain. And then we ask, how does the superconducting state propagate from grain to grain? I apologize. Everything in this talk will deal with systems in thermal equilibrium and nothing small. Everything will be in the thermodynamic limit. And in fact, essentially everything I'll talk about will be classical. On the other hand, I'll discuss collective phenomena, disorder, and frustration. And so when physicists, especially theorists, talk about the practical importance of their ideas, chances are they're either lying or totally misled or both. Nonetheless, I have a fantasy that this may be useful in designing new high-temperature superconducting wires. If you look at papers on high-temperature superconducting wires, the situation I'm describing is mentioned in words like trillions of dollars are in the same paper. So OK. With that introduction, the thing that makes this problem a little bit non-trivial is that for the cuprates, the superconducting state is a de-wave state. And this is one of the things that we know for absolute certainty on the basis of phase sensitive measurements. So there are two types of phase sensitive measurements that are done. One is that one takes a piece of high-temperature superconductor and then makes a squid loop by completing a circuit with a conventional superconductor. And if this squid loop is a corner squid like this, then the ground state spontaneously traps a half flux quantum if the squid loop is connected either opposite sides of the sample or the same side of the sample, then the squid loop encloses no flux. So this is the phase sensitive measurement that macroscopically measures the de-wave character of the superconducting state. The problem also arises if one tries to connect several grains of high-temperature superconductor. There were famous tricrystal experiments done by Kirtle and collaborators where you took three pieces of high-temperature superconductor, rotated their crystallographic orientations such that the Josephson couplings around this circuit can't all be satisfied. And again, what one finds is that a half flux quantum is trapped in the middle of this tricrystal under appropriate circumstances. The important point here is that the Josephson coupling between two neighboring grains is a function of the relative angle of their crystallographic axes. And so the sign of this depends on the relative orientation of these two grains. So this means that when we try to put together a collection of such grains, there's frustration in the problem. Now, the superconducting wires, at least the ones made with the Kuprate superconductor bisco, are not made by just jamming together grains of high-temperature superconductors, but by embedding them in a metal, I think silver in particular, although it's a little bit hard to find out exactly what the wires are made out of, because that's proprietary. And so unlike most things in science, people aren't eager to tell you about it. But if we think about embedding a grain of a D-wave superconductor in a metal, then, of course, superconducting pairing is induced in the metal around the grain by the proximity effect. And close to the surface, you don't know that the system is a D-wave superconductor.  Or near this surface, it seems like an S-wave superconductor with a phase zero. And so pairing correlations are induced in the surrounding metal with some pattern that I've sort of sketched here, positive in some regions, negative in others. This dashed line is supposed to show the diffusion of electrons after having been Andreyev scattered off of the surface, which are carrying their phase information. And so what one could see is if one took two such grains and put them close to each other, then depending upon whether you're overlapping patches that are of the same sign or opposite sign, you would get different signs of the Josephson coupling. That is to say, again, for two grains that are close to each other, just as when we were looking at the junction through the insulator, the sign of the Josephson coupling would be determined by the relative orientations of the grains. But if the grains are far apart from each other, you can see that this grain, far away since there's more surface oriented perpendicular to the plus lobe than to the minus lobe, far away from this, this grain will look like a piece of S-wave superconductor with sign plus. And so the sign of the Josephson coupling between two grains will be determined by the product of two factors that have to do with the shape of each grain, whether the two grains have more plus surface or more minus surface. OK, so this leads us to a simple model of how phase coherence propagates in a wire made out of many grains. We have imagined each grain is big enough that quantum effects can be ignored so they can just be described by the phase of the superconducting order on each grain. There is some Josephson coupling between each grain. And the Josephson coupling is of this form. There's three different terms in this random ensemble. Of course, the magnitude depends on the distance between grains i and j. But the sign, there are three sorts of terms. There is a usual unfriestrated term, which has some random ensemble. There is a term that has a sign that depends on some mutual information about each pair of grains and is somehow randomly distributed for each pair of grains. And then there is a term whose sign is determined by the product of two factors, one associated with each grain. So if we only had this term, this would be an example of a model called the Mattis model. It would be an xy Mattis model. If we only had this term, this would be a model of a usual xy spin glass. And of course, if we only had this term, this would be some sort of random magnitude xy ferromagnet. So now let me just take a minute to define the different phases that I'll discuss. The superconducting phases all have some expectation value of the pair field operator. Now, since we have a random system, we may ask about the ensemble average of this quantity. And that's what I'm going to call positive phi. So that's the ensemble average of the anomalous expectation value of the pair field operator. There is also something that will be useful for constructing an Edwards-Anderson order parameter, which is the anomalous expectation value of the pair field operator squared, and then configuration averaged. And I've kept this as a two-point function because I'm going to also want to distinguish between S-wave and D-wave superconductivity. On the other hand, this quantity we can evaluate at zero separation, even if the microscopic physics is D-wave. We can discuss that if anybody's interested. Then we also, since the states involved might break time reversal symmetry, one might ask, what is the expectation value of the current operator in the state? The little trapped flux quantum means we have states with non-zero current in thermal equilibrium. And again, we may want to make a Edwards-Anderson-type combination of these things where we take the product of these expectation values and then configuration average it. So an ordinary superconducting phase, just the effect of weak disorder on a regular superconducting phase is one in which the configuration average superconducting order parameter is non-zero. And moreover, and all the currents are zero, this is just the disordered version of the ordinary phase. And as long as the disorder ensemble has a fourfold rotational symmetry, we can still distinguish D-wave and S-wave states by the symmetry of this configuration average quantity. Then there's an XY spin glass phase in which this configuration averaged quantity is zero, but the Edwards-Anderson version of this is non-zero. And in general, then currents, the configuration averaged square of the currents will be non-zero. This state breaks time reversal symmetry. I've been trying to understand what the declarative statements are that are widely accepted in the spin glass literature. But almost every statement seems to be controversial from the best Monte Carlo calculations, what seems to be more or less agreed upon is that this phase exists for D greater than some critical dimension and that that critical dimension is probably between two and three. But even if it's less than three, it's clear that the critical current is much less than any sort of mean field, I mean, critical temperature is much less than any mean field critical temperature. And it's unclear, at least to me, whether there's a critical current in this state. So even if this state exists, it's a pretty terrible state to use for a wire. So it's something to be avoided. There's also, one could have a state where you have coexisting uniform superconducting and spin glass order that would be characterized by having a non-zero value of the configuration average superconducting order parameter but also by having non-zero equilibrium currents in the state. And again, this state exists above some lower critical dimension which is probably between two and three. And can again be classified as D wave or S wave based on the symmetries of this quantity. And finally, there's been a lot of discussion of the possibility of just a chiral glass phase in which both the Edwards Anderson order parameter is zero and of course the average of the superconducting order parameter is zero but there are still breaking of time reversal symmetry and non-zero currents. And this is hotly debated and I don't think there's a resolution of this as far as I know. Okay, so those are the phases in mind. Now let's look at how these play out in the context of this simple model that we've defined. So I'll take several passes through this phase diagram and sketch them for you. So first, so I'm going to define a everything in dimensionless value. So I'll hold fixed the magnitude of the Josephson coupling and then vary the various amounts of these different types of couplings and sketch for you what the phase diagram looks like. So if we, oh yeah, if there were no frustration in the problem say if we only had the ferromagnetic couplings then the mean field TC would just be J bar over two and since we're in three dimensions and if there's no frustration this mean field estimate is, you know gives us an idea of the magnitude of TC. So it's not so bad. Now there's a symmetry of this model which is the symmetry that was noted by Dan Mattis long ago which is if I define in terms of new variables by shifting every grain that has a negative eta shifting the phase by pi and leaving the phase on the other grains unaffected then what I do is I interchange the role of this Mattis model interaction and the ferromagnetic interaction while I leave the usual spin glass interaction unchanged. So it changes in the ensemble the role of J1 and J3, yeah. What was the mechanism for generating a uniform thermo magnetic couplings? So I'll come back to that in a minute. I mean if we took, if we had grains that were oblong and were oriented say a pneumatic phase of grains then we would generate primarily couplings of one sign. Yeah it's through the metal but if our grains were all oriented in the same direction then we would have some net ferromagnetic component. Okay and so this reflects the fact that while the Mattis model has disorder it doesn't have frustration. So it's really a ferromagnetic model in disguise. The reason it's a ferromagnetic model in disguise is that it's really a ferromagnetic model and the way to see that is suppose we had grains that were oriented like this and so even though inside each grain we have pure D wave superconductor looked at from the outside since the shape of the grain itself breaks the four fold rotation symmetry what it's as if we had as a grain which had some mixture of S and D wave superconductivity either S plus D or S minus D and what this Mattis model or ordering corresponds to is even though the S wave component might be the subdominant component it's ferromagnetic ordering of the S wave component. So the hidden ferromagnetism in the Mattis model is actually that this thing despite the fact that all of the microscopic physics is that it's a D wave superconductor is macroscopically an S wave superconductor. Okay good so let's just see what the model is if we ignore the ferromagnetic interactions. So here's a sketch of the phase diagram the parts of this phase diagram that I'm prepared to defend are the parts on all the edges of the phase diagram in these regions one can do a respectable asymptotic analysis the dashed lines are just a way of completing a phase diagram with the minimal number of additional assumptions. I think there's no reason to even believe that the middle of this phase diagram is universal so don't take that too seriously but the point is that if we have dominantly Mattis model interactions then we're going to have a high transition temperature because this is basically a ferromagnet with globally S wave symmetry whereas if we have dominantly spin glass interactions we're going to have this terrible spin glass phase and with a very low transition temperature. Okay I won't go through the arguments that lead to this phase diagram they're fairly straightforward. If we included quantum fluctuations we would lose this over here. Here's the answer to Vadim's question if we oriented the samples like this we could generate some dominantly ferromagnetic interactions in the D wave channel and so if we take a pass through the phase diagram in which we suppress the spin glass interactions well the phase diagram has to be reflection symmetric about the middle because of this transformation that exchanges J1 and J2 and again we'll have globally ordered phases on the two edges of the phase diagram. Okay so here's the point even with local D wave superconductivity in the grain we can get globally S wave superconductors if the distance between grains is larger than the size of the grains. If we either have to orient the grains well or work in this regime if one's going to generate a wire that's going to be useful for anything. So what one would like to do is to maximize J but at the same time minimize frustration which one can do well to have J be reasonable one certainly needs the spacing between grains to be small compared to the thowless length in the problem so that there's coherent coupling between them and then one can estimate the size of the Josephson coupling by something that looks sort of like an Ambeko-Karbertoff relation which says that the Josephson coupling goes like the conductivity of the metal times the square of the radius of the grain divided by the cube of the distance between them so what we want to do is we would like to make this quantity as big as possible while keeping L bigger than R and so obviously that can be done by making both R and L smaller that is to say making an array of smaller grains at higher density. Good, so how much time do I have left? Five minutes, okay. What? 10 minutes, okay. So let me switch to another topic and I will go through this quickly but this is a experimental talk, it's numerical experiments. I've been spending a lot of time of late being frustrated not understanding anything at all about the theory of metallic quantum critical phenomena and about a year ago we realized that we could do sign free Monte Carlo calculations of pneumatic metallic quantum critical phenomena so I'm going to report to you the results of our numerical experiments, the results are very crisp and very clear and we don't understand them at all. So first we can do sign free Monte Carlo calculations on this problem, we've gone up to system size 24 by 24. When we couple the pneumatic modes to the electrons through some Yukawa coupling of strength alpha, if alpha is big enough the transition becomes first order but we've found that if alpha is somehow intermediate the transition remains continuous which means there is a quantum critical point to study. That's good news. The model we've looked at, we define a pseudo spin that lives on the bonds of a lattice and when that pseudo spin is up we strengthen the electron hopping on this bond and when the bond is down we weaken the hopping on this bond and then the pneumatic state is a anti-ferromagnetic ordering of these pseudo spins as shown in this picture here we've strengthened all the bonds in this direction and weakened the bonds in that direction. And then we simulate this and well okay, here's the phase diagram. So here's temperature, here's the transverse field that controls the quantum fluctuations of our pneumatic mode. In the absence of coupling to the fermions here's the phase diagram, the pneumatic phase boundary is here. There's a crossover to a out of the quantum critical region that comes up like this. When we turn on a Yukawa coupling to the fermions the phase diagram changes. The pneumatic phase is stabilized but most importantly you can see that the critical exponents characterizing this phase boundary have changed. Yeah, I did, I sketched the Hamiltonian. This is the Hamiltonian. So there's electrons that hop on a lattice. If this pseudo spin is up we enhance by a fraction alpha, the coupling, the hopping on that bond. There's an anti-ferromagnetic interaction between neighboring pseudo spins which favors this ordered phase and there's a transverse field that gives them dynamics. Okay? So at alpha three comma zero is just the 2D transverse field? It's just the 2D transverse field ising model and so if you look at this I'll show in a minute you see exactly the critical exponents of the 3D classical ising model. So we can characterize the phase boundary by as it comes down by a critical exponent b minus and this exponent is one within our numerical error in contrast for the decoupled problem this value is as John guessed those of a three-dimensional classical ising model. We can define this crossover line we defined it as following follows you find the value of the pneumatic susceptibility at criticality then you move over until you find that the susceptibility is dropped by a factor of two which is an arbitrary choice and then you mark this crossover here and again you can ask with what exponent does this crossover line come in and well of course you would expect it to be the same but we measure it separately and indeed this line comes in with slope one whereas the similarly defined crossover line comes in with slope with exponent two thirds in the decoupled case and so the first thing you learn which is actually sort of good news if you're interested in quantum critical phenomena is that the quantum critical fan is substantially wider in the metal than it is in the insulator. Then we calculate the pneumatic susceptibility this is in general a func this is equal to the imaginary time pneumatic propagator at q equals zero and Matsubara frequency equals to zero and again there are various critical exponents that we can define if we sit at criticality and lower the temperature we can ask with what power does the susceptibility diverge and that exponent also turns out to be one and we can go to zero temperature on the disordered side and ask as we reduce the transverse field and approach the quantum critical point by tuning the quantum parameter with what power law does the susceptibility diverge and that also comes out to be one these are very non-trivial critical exponents you shouldn't be deceived by the fact that they look so simple and in fact these are critical exponents that have been seen in experiments on pneumatic susceptibilities in the iron-based superconductors that, well that I shouldn't have said that that's left over from an earlier when I gave this talk at the mechanisms of superconductivity meeting that people cared about that there so more generally we have full information about the imaginary time propagator of the pneumatic mode as a function of Q and Matsubara frequency or as a function of position and imaginary time and what I will try to show you is that the full imaginary time propagator is very well approximated by this simple scaling function which has all sorts of critical exponents in it which happen to be integers and correspondingly in real space and time the zero time propagator as a function of position falls like one over R squared so let me just show you oh and this corresponds to the normal in terms of usually defined critical exponents new equals a half gamma equals one the anomalous exponent zero but most surprisingly and unanticipatedly the dynamical exponent z equals two and also we have an emergent rotational symmetry that is to say that for instance this fall off is isotropic at long distances so what I'm going to do is plot our measured values of D versus this function with these constants taking on these particular values and so here's all our data that's through almost three million data points at different temperatures, different system sizes different values of the critical field and all values of Q and omega and okay other than the fact that it's monotonic that doesn't tell you much but if we zoom in on the asymptotic region at lower energies and longer wavelength it begins to look like something this is the lowest half a million points and then if we zoom in again we begin to see something in asymptopia that looks a little bit like a scaling collapse this is over a decade of dynamical range and almost 11,000 data points and finally if we zoom in on our version of asymptopia which is as small as far as we can get with our system size we really see quite a spectacular data collapse of all this data this is the lowest 7,000 data points here's a picture of the fall-off in real space so this is different system sizes so red is 24 by 24 the purple stars are eight by eight there is here substantial size dependence of the results but as we go to the biggest size systems you can see that this fall-off is described very beautifully by a simple one over r squared the data points are from all different directions so you can see the isotropy of the result as well so I guess I'm almost out of time so I'm going to skip fermionic properties don't understand them as well anyway and I will conclude so at the pneumatic quantum critical point we see critical phenomena we see beautiful scaling collapse but with critical exponents so once we say z equals two you might be tempted to say this is in two plus two dimensions and so seeing sort of mean field exponents for nu and gamma doesn't seem so surprising but z equals two is certainly not what you get out of Hertz-Millis theory or any of its more sophisticated descendants and with that I'll stop thank you thank you very much


Hey guys, it's Lindsay here today I'm here to talk about one of my favorite things fabric and as we said in our swatch video on Tuesday Stylemaker fabrics has launched her fall collection and to help celebrate She's hosting a huge blog tour featuring some of my favorite bloggers And I'm so thrilled to be a part of it as you saw in the swatch video Michelle has sourced some amazing fabrics for fall It was really so hard for me to choose my fabrics for this video But after I got my hands on buttocks 6 3 8 8 I knew I needed a sweater knit for this dress So I found a jacquard double knit and I knew it would be the perfect sweater dress The fabric itself is super soft to the touch like it's just one of those sweater knits That's really really cozy and soft and just makes you want to like cuddle up with it It does not have a lot of stretch to it as you can see which is fine for a sweater dress It's not supposed to be super form-fitting You really just need enough stretch to kind of you know move around get it on over your head Because there's no zippers or you know any any of that any of those kinds of notions There's also quite a bit of drape in this fabric Well quite a bit for a sweater knit I would say but I think it's really nice to have a little bit of drape in a sweater knit It obviously makes a really great sheath dress that just kind of floats over the body It's not too form-fitting, but it would also make a really great dress that has a gathered skirt Or some kind of like blousing in the bodice Some final notes on this fabric I just wanted to say that it pressed really well really easily with Some moderate heat and steam and it also just really sewed up really well Even the top stitching on the back yoke and on the sleeves I feel like turned out really nice with this fabric Finally this fabric is 63 inches wide which is just crazy It didn't shrink up a time when I pre-washed it I had a ton left over Despite ordering exactly what the pattern called for so keep that in mind whenever you're ordering your yardage a Few notes on the pattern. I had to take in the waist by almost six inches to get this shape This was after grating between sizes as I usually do also the neckline is not intended to be this baggy I had a whoopsie daisy and took it in at the shoulders and forgot to adjust the collar It's a little short for my taste, but I think it'll look great with leggings I'd also like to note that it's still 90 degrees here in Charleston So just getting outside in this sweater dress to film was all the heat I could handle But I'll post pictures with the dress style with leggings later this week when I travel up north to Quebec City Where the high is like in the 60s Okay, so next up is this adorable top I used butteric 6 3 7 5 for this one and really love the way it turned out the fabric is a ray on crepe It does have some texture to it Which is one of my favorite things about a crepe actually the pattern really needed a fabric with a lot of drape But still maintained its structure You can't tell but there is so much detail in this pattern from the way the sleeves are constructed to the Asymmetrical pleat on the front and that self drafted pleated belt The fabric held up beautifully to all the detailing it pressed really well and was really easy to sew Naturally, it was a little shifty when I was cutting out my pattern But it didn't move much on me at all when I was sewing The juxtaposition of the structured belt and the cascading pleat detail is so beautiful to me And I'm so impressed with this fabric that it was able to live up to each of those qualities And can we talk about the floral print for a minute? Isn't it gorgeous? I love how big the flower clusters are and the coloring is so beautiful with the mix of pinks Lavender and greens all set on this gorgeous aubergine background. It's so pretty Speaking of color, I'm sure you noticed that both of my garments for the bird this blog tour are in my favorite color Call it maroon wine garnet, whatever and if you love this color as much as me You have to check out the mold wine section on Michelle's site She's got almost 30 fabrics that featured this color and I want them all Well, that's gonna do it for me on this fall edition of style maker fabrics blog tour Head to stop maker fabrics on Instagram for a list of upcoming bloggers Abby will be on the tour on September the 28th If you like these fabrics head to style maker fabrics calm to buy them up Shipping is just five dollars no matter how much you order or where you live within the US And there's also discounted shipping for those who live internationally Seriously, there's no excuse to not check out these fabrics until next time. Bye


Welcome to The Advocate, the programme that keeps you educated and informed on current events around you. I will be talking about constructive politics, competence and brotherhood above tribalism. Olu Dholakbo o Jilabi will be talking about how the new Nigeria starts with you. Steven Agiode will be talking about Bivas, election management and black holes. Today, expect interesting conversations that concerns all Nigerians will be back after this break. Constructive politics, competence and brotherhood above tribalism. The ongoing general elections in Nigeria demonstrate the need to rise above tribal sentiment and prioritize reliability in decision making. Using legal state as a key study, the overshouldering conversations arising the forthcoming gubernatorial elections are much centered around the tribal affiliation of majorly the candidate of Labour Party, Badebo Rodis Vivo, in comparison with other candidates including the incumbent governor, Babaji De San Wulu of APC. In the same vein, the threats and targeted attacks on businesses owned by persons of different tribal affiliation in a bid to suppress their right to assist their franchise. This is rather an unfortunate scenario as the tribal sentiment obituates the importance of brotherhood in our society and proper competence driven decision making process that would first track our common growth and development as a cosmopolitan city. However, Nigerians have spoken and we must accept that and work with our choices while reflecting on the relevant social divides that we allow to hinder progress. In Nigeria, competence should be prioritized over tribalism in all aspects of life, especially in politics. It is happening to see the emergence of the retic ngubi as the first elected female senator of the federal capital territory in Abuja under the auspices of the Labour Party. This achievement is a testament to the importance of competence as well as the need to break the gasoline across various fields and celebrate the achievement of women. Dr. Angoti Okunjuwiala, the director general of the World Trade Organization, at the 2023 International Women's Day Summit held in Geneva, has called for more inclusive policies regarding women in the economy and other sectors of the human endeavor. We must strive to create a society that values competence and inclusivity over tribalism and division. As we celebrate women's moons, let us continue to break barriers and create opportunities for women and men to excel in all areas of life and continually break the bias of tribalism, patriarchy and ethno-religious sentiment. Let us conclude by pondering on these words of Idu Koyenikon, an international acclaimed organizational consultant and author in the US. You can no longer see or identify yourself solely as a member of a tribe but as a citizen of a nation of one people working towards a common purpose. I said two things. One is about the importance for raising our consciousness of brotherliness, good-niboliness, national cohesion and nationalism, a both tribal sentiment. It's all happened this period. The election is coming up, the Kumbakhtura election, and there is much talk about the tribal affiliation of the liberal party candidates, JRV, Badebo Revival. He has, according to findings, his father or his parents have been in his ancestry. They've been in Legals for over 400 years. But no, in this time, his father got married to or his mother is an Igbo woman. His father is a rebel man, a Legalsian, married to an Igbo woman. He means safe, married to an Igbo woman. I think his wife is the daughter of the former military governor of Browns State, Major General Igbo. Now, this issue, rather than seeing our politicians, rather than seeing how to come together and tell us what you want to do and why we should vote for you. You see them downplaying the politics by bringing tribal sentiments. Like, why would you vote? Why should Legalsians vote for Badebo? That's what they see. So, there's much talk about tribalism, tribal tension. And then you see the attack on some persons from mostly maybe Southeast extraction during their businesses here and being threatened by persons that claim that the Legalsians, for them to vote the candidate of their choice. And I'm saying that this is not a very good thing. And then the issue of ʻOgunju Iwala delivered the speech during the International Women's Day and she was emphasizing the need for competence. Women should be given a chance not just because they are women. Competence, anybody, man or woman should be given a chance. That's how we can deliver Nigeria. So I want to hear your take on this. It's unfortunate that we have come to this. I think the issue that Rose was not even the fact whether Rose Vibe is a legusian or not. It was more that he was not a Yoruba man. And it's unfortunate that after we have gone through civil war we should be still talking like this. Some of these elements that are making this call are forgotten that only recently and I know many of them celebrated it in Nigeria. A person of Nigerian origin who had lived here with us for long. Kebi Badinoch who not long ago left for the UK was contesting and almost in fact won the UK Prime Minister'ship. Nobody in England was talking about Nigerians coming to take over London. Nobody was talking of us taking over Britain. It's unfortunate that and in fact the British Prime Minister is of Indian origin and nobody talks about it. The important thing is his competence and his ability to govern in the country. It's unfortunate that at this stage of our national life we should be talking like this. I think we should have gotten the stage where we recognized that the most important thing is the competence of the person. And in any case what are we really talking about. Who can be more negotiation than erode survivors. If you go back in our history, they also say colony. And some of the people that are saying this were in what would have qualified to be called the hinterland. But no one wants to go there. Today we should recognize that we are all Nigerians. We are all brothers. We stand in brotherhood even though our origins may be different. So I'm surprised that such an issue should be coming up at this time. Sure.  During the last you cited Kemibadinoch and the Richisunak emergence as the Prime Minister of UK. Richisunak is from an Indian descent. His parents migrated to Britain and his school there. But you see he has much ties towards his cultural heritage from India. But he is the Prime Minister of Britain. And then in America during the last election, the midterm election they had last year. There were instances where I saw Nigerians. So Nigerians contesting other the Republican Party. We were celebrating it. We were celebrating it. Even though maybe some did know me. But for the fact that they even clinched the ticket in the first place. And then if you go to... You see the hypocrisy here. This person, Simon Iqba right. He is one of the iPop shifting. He is handling a very important office appointment in Finland. If you go to Canada there are a lot of Nigerians handling political appointments. Or being elected into office. Nobody is talking about African invasion or Nigerian invasion. And we go there. We Nigerians, we travel to this country hoping that one day become president of this country. Or contribute. And also contribute their quota to the world of this country. But in our country we don't want to allow our fellow brothers. Simply because you say you are from Zosoto tribe. Don't come and do anything. One famous writer said, one of our writer said. If ethnicity were racism. The way we are carrying on. We will probably carry the banner of the most racist people in the world. It's unfortunate. These are the things Obama was talking of when he visited Kenya the other time. You are not going to get anywhere if you emphasize tribe. You are going to get somewhere if you emphasize competence. We are all from somewhere. Historically we have not gained anything from emphasizing tribal conflict. All we get from it is tribal conflict. Tribal division and all that. There is no good reason. There is nothing good. A certain president expects, for instance the president of the candidate of the APC. Ashwa Dubola Mehtunbu. He expects to get food from the southeast and other parts of Nigeria. Of course. If you are playing tribe. There is no need for having a president seeking for food from anywhere. I want to hear your thoughts. Olujulako. Okay. I think the first thing I will say is that racism is everywhere. Racism is the senior brother of tribalism. They are the same thing. They are the same thing. They are siblings. The important thing is that it is human nature to default to your lowest level of identity. So for instance when Nigerians go out, when they meet outside the country, tribalism is not as emphasized. Because we are Nigerians. When you are in Nigeria then you fall into tribalism. Even within the tribe, there are divisions. You find the Yorubas, the Oyos and the Abaddon people. They all have differences. If you go within the city, there are differences in families. Your family is this, your family is that. So it is human nature. What is unnatural is actually taking the time to build bridges. So that what we are focusing on is what we have in common. I mean for me to know your competence then I must be able to assess what you've done. Score it, make sure it's measured. What is critical is building bridges. If we say we don't expect that we are going to do to respond this way. My question is what have we done to make sure that people don't default to this behavior.  What do we have in common? We are all humans. We feel emotions. We have the same desires, fears at the end of the day. So in summary, I'm not surprised what is going on. And I think it's a wake-up call because it's showing us fault lines when we are pressurized. This is how we react. We fall back to those identity levels. And we need to consciously take the step to build bridges to make sure that like you said last week. I think travel, get to know people beyond what you've heard. Form personal connections and get deeper insight into the humanity of people. Okay. I'm going to ask you something, your thought on this. According to the Nigerian constitution, a Nigerian can live anywhere. Nigerian is an indivisible territory, right? You lawyers are good with these things. It's an indivisible territory, right? Every part of Nigeria is Nigeria. If you're in Lagos, you're in Nigeria. As a Nigerian, you can live, thrive and work in any part of Nigeria, right? Now, I also want to understand, a Nigerian can also be voted and be voted for in any part of Nigeria, irrespective of tribal background. Why is it that we have not realized the full potential of this? You still see people giving back to their children in one part of... Let me use Lagos as a case study. Let's see for instance now. Many of us, we are giving back to in Lagos. A lot of us. But your parents will tell you, state of origin, when you are failing from state of origin, you call your father state. But they get back to you in Lagos, right? So the question is, why can't we just realize the full potential of that clause in the constitution? Anybody, maybe it means if you are a descent of Ausa, Fulani, Ibu, Yoruba, what have you? But if you are living in a particular side, especially when you are giving back to in that side, you are supposed to be able to play your role in that part. Or you have contributed to the development of that part of the country. You should be voted and be voted for. In the early days in Nigeria, I think if Mala or Fulani man was one time mayor in Enugu, right? Yes, it was. That was Nigeria. Why can't we have this? Why is much emphasis on you are from Sosu state? And my third neighbour was once head of the legal city council. But the point I want to make, we have been independent for say over 60 years now. The point of loom mix is important. But the truth is, I also see that at the level of ordinary Nigerians, a lot of us have come together and we have intermixed. In front of many of your houses or your neighbours and all that, you find you live with evils, you live with houses and you really have no significant problem with them. What is dangerous and what we must not allow to continue is to use our divisions as a political strategy to win votes. That's what is dangerous now. Toxic politicking. That is what divides people, creates the situation. Like what happened in Rwanda, like what happened in Bosnia. Yes. When you manipulate people politically to win votes, that's the dangerous thing. It's happened before and we are seeing it happening again. At the lower levels between people, people don't have problems within themselves. No, the Igbo man and the Yoruba man and the Hausa man really they have no problem within them. They deal with themselves. They relate, they trade together. It's not as if there is a major problem between us but it is dangerous for politicians to keep dividing us, manipulating us because if you look at it at the top, they are actually united. So it's unfortunate that any politician would think that he wants to use to divide us and it's dangerous we shouldn't go this way. It's a strategy. But people just manipulated them and look at what happened. In Bosnia you can't tell a Muslim from a non-Muslim but political manipulation can do anything. I personally can't tell a Jew from a German but look at what political manipulation did. So it's very dangerous and it's something that we should guard against. It's a road that we should not pass. It's very unfortunate. So that means there's no need of we crying for our racism when we are committing the same thing, tribalism. It's like Keto calling Port Black. You accuse the British or the Americans for allowing racism to thrive in their country and yet in your own country, African countries, you tribalism. How do we guard against it? Yes, I think our political actors recently signed a peace accord. The president was there and everybody was there. I was saying at the time if you don't have mechanism for enforcement why are you signing any form of accord? So the issue is now on the ground now. There is a peace accord but people are using tribalism to cause confusion to breach the peace. I don't know what that peace committee can do to step in now because now we are seeing it like I said before there was no mechanism for enforcement. But the peace committee ought to speak up There's supposed to be a special tribe to look at it. The peace committee is supposed to be the one that comes out and talks and enforces these things. I think some of them, father Kuka has been talking he has been criticizing the Bishop Kuka he has been criticizing all the spokesmen for the political parties for their principles the petroleumic language they have been using has been condemning it. Beyond that, the peace committee needs to come out and say this kind of politics is not right and perhaps they need to name names need to point to people and shame maybe we need to shame people so that they exactly so that the principles call their people to order that some of these things are not imagine that someone had put something on social media and was making reference to the liberal candidate and said he's not going to be a major as governor and in fact threatening him and you know the police is not supposed to wait they are supposed to apprehend such individual because it's a crime the police who have a role to play because you see we are seeing the beginnings of people burning places and other people's houses threatening voters telling them you must vote for social services more than that the political leaders need to step in the peace committee needs to step in and I think what we are seeing more is a toxic manipulation of tribal sentiments to end votes and that should stop before we round up this is women's mood we will not stop without seeing something to encourage all the women in Nigeria and in Africa and the world I said Dr. Ukunju Uiala I said some things about the need for giving women a chance and encouraging them women are competent competence has no gender I am trying to paraphrase what she said in Geneva during the international women's day celebration held march 8 and then I listened to Christian Amapon on CNN 2 she was recounting her experiences as a CNN war correspondent going to wear especially where there are crisis like if you go to Afghanistan Iraq the issue of hijab suppressing women's rights education and other things so let's just see something to encourage women especially we have some women they are just a mage for the first time as the first senator of Abuja and some other women too trying one way in order to do something positive in the country and the world so I just want to hear one thought from you to round up let me start with you Mr. Oludulako just see something positive I will move to Mr. Agiode something positive I think if we focus on competence above all the opportunities are going to show themselves and as society becomes better it will become more accessible to you know the female gender more than it is now Mrs. Gwadebe was once in that position I think a long time ago Kerat Gwadebe was the first senator from Abuja FCT FCT yes yes so it is a good thing that King Igbeireti is continuing in that track although it was broken right in between yes thank you very much gentlemen thank you very much for your input so let's try our base to see how to encourage politics that had void of tribalism hatred any form of bigotry against one another Nigeria belongs to everyone and no Nigeria is more Nigerian than any other Nigeria both within and outside Nigeria Oludulako is next after the break


The whole afternoon today, guys, we saw 225, 220 puts for Friday's expiration, and they were coming in pretty aggressively one after another after another. Is there news, whatever the case may be? But I'm telling you, if Tesla starts losing this 231 level, you see this whole channel here, guys? If Tesla starts losing this 231 level that you have a bigger gap here coming into 225 and then the 220 and that would correlate with the options market betting in that direction. We'll see, right? We'll see. We don't know what's going on, but the most important part is it got rejected today off the five-day moving average, continues to build below the 50-day moving average. Again, kind of a reference point, how important the 50-day moving average is. And the most important is if they can get below this bottom channel here, Tesla could really start opening up just the same way as the spies, or the same way as the Qs have potential.
