Welcome, everyone. Today is the day, April 22nd, 2022, Earth Day. And we have been planning for today for many months. Today is the day we are launching our multi-author book, Greener Data. And it's more than just a book. We hope it's the beginning of a global movement. A spark started by our data center and communications network industry and further flamed by the business community. Together, we can leave a meaningful legacy to our children, a greener earth that is sustainable for our children to call home. So, how did greener data even come to fruition? Well, absolutely based on need. A recent International Energy Agency report stated that about 2.5% of global energy is consumed by data centers and data networks. And this number expected to quickly rise with global energy used by data centers alone to increase to 8% to 10% by 2030. It's a staggering number and a staggering increase. And as a person who has spent her career promoting data centers and data networks, I do. I feel responsible. I also recognize that I have many smart friends who are each tackling this great challenge in their own companies and in their own countries. Another question became, what if? What if we could break down these silos, our company lines, our country boundaries and instead consider ourselves citizens of earth sharing our approaches for others to seek inspiration and commit to getting greener in their own businesses, facilities and technologies? Out of this question, greener data was born. This book includes insights and real-world examples from 24 industry thought leaders located around the world, from Ireland to Finland to Hong Kong to Middle America. We have circled the world and included nearly every time zone and every layer of our critical network infrastructure to find answers to a complicated question. How can we get our data greener today and together? And to be sure, time is ticking, guys. JSA did a call out for thought leaders to contribute a chapter back in December 2021, short time ago. And we are so honored that in that one month we were able to confirm the roster and our authors have been six weeks to write and refine their chapters, so very timely information. And here it is today, Earth Day. This is now. This is happening now. And now is necessary. Collective action needs to happen now. And action through a multi-prong, inclusive approach, including getting to carbon neutrality, enhancing biodiversity, harnessing the power in people and resource management, leveraging hardware and software integration, investing in sustainable projects, facilities, partners, and ensuring there's universal and impactful measurement and transparency. In short, turning alarming predictions around and into opportunities, positive collective action, and even, as several of our authors cited in their chapters, potential revenue. This is greener data. I am Janie Skada-Kataya, CEO and founder of JSA. My team and I came up with the concept of this book on this timely necessity, and we've been really honored to work with these authors refining their chapters. And of course, with the help of our publishing house, Soul Excellence Publishing, led by our fabulous Kailie O'Keefe. Kailie. Thank you, Jamie, and happy launch day. It's so exciting that greener data is now out in the world. The book is available on Amazon in digital version and print. And I'm really excited to share that all book proceeds will be going to direct relief, Ukraine Relief, an organization that this community of authors has decided is super timely and super worthy to receive proceeds from this movement. So super excited to be here and can't wait for all of you to read this incredible book. Thanks, Kailie. All right, guys. So without further ado, you don't want to hear from us. You want to hear from our fabulous contributing authors of greener data. So let's start with my friend, Phillip Marangela, CMO of Edge Connects. Phillip. Yeah, thanks, Jamie. I mean, I think you summed it up best, right? And as the chief marketing officer at Edge Connects, this is both a personal and a corporate initiative that is near and dear to our hearts and our efforts as a company. And what I think is fantastic about the book that you're doing here is along with all these illustrious colleagues that you have that are authors, we are just a small sample of the thousands in the data center and telecom industry and the hundreds of companies that are all working collaboratively towards a greener data, right? And a greener data infrastructure. And the beauty is there isn't competition, right? We're all in this together. And we all have our unique perspectives. And what we're trying to do here is share those and be very transparent and open and collaborative on how we as a industry, as individuals, as a community can be greener, can be and solve for the challenges that are becoming more critical each and every day. Thank you. So thank you for allowing me to be part of this fantastic endeavor. I really appreciate it. Thank you. We are honored. Kim. Hello. I'm Kim Ganesh, Chief Commercial Officer and co-founder of FICOLO based out of Finland. So we are leading COLO in Finland and the only climate neutral certified COLO in Finland. I think it's great to come together across the globe for this fantastic initiative, this movement and share some of the insights that we had on the way to climate neutrality and our thoughts on going beyond. Because getting to climate neutral is a challenge that we share with many, many data centers. Most data center players nowadays have a vision of becoming climate neutral. Now, we're already there. So we're thinking about the next steps. What do they look like to become carbon negative? The challenges are quite different. Because being carbon negative, you move from minimizing your footprint to kind of maximizing your handprint, which means helping customers, stakeholders to improve. Yeah. Thank you. I love that chapter reference too. Thank you. Vicky. Thanks, Jamie. I think one of the most critical things that we each can do right now is really get an understanding of what our personal impact is on carbon emissions. And when we look at and study data, we really see the potential impact that we have every day just through every interaction we have, whether it's a computer or telephone, it all involves data. And as CEO of the Green Building Initiative, we worked with our chapter to really connect the dots between the tipping point that we're in with environmental social governance and investors being very focused on sustainability, health and wellness and transparency to net zero carbon emissions in the critical state that we're in with trying to get a handle on that and reduce impacts from climate, as well as the intersection with Green Building certification and how data centers can really take steps to sew that all up into one integrated strategy. So I think it's great timing. It's critical timing and truly tipping point for all of us to be focused on this one effort. Brilliant. Well said. Michael. Thanks, Jamie. I really enjoyed being part of this initiative and I'm looking forward to reading everybody else's chapters. I'm the founder and CEO of I Am Data Centers. I Am Data Centers is will be sort of the culmination of my career in the data center industry. We factory build modular data centers employing some very uber efficient means and methods throughout both our products and processes. And then we also want to operate a growing portfolio of our own data centers, primarily for the call location and IT management services. And my chapter included a bit of a laundry list of initiatives that we employ and reasons that I feel like factory building is far superior than traditional types of construction and also initiatives that can be employed for, you know, how to improve the energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint of Mexican mortar and traditional data centers. But I dealt a little bit into sort of the sense that I had of the interconnectedness of everybody how incredibly interdependent we are and why, you know, this climate initiative is so timely. So absolutely necessary. Gosh. And so I wanted to delve a little bit into these some of the philosophical underpinnings of why I'm doing what I'm doing and why our company is so purpose driven. And even to the extent that we set up the company, we did an automatic carbide of 5% of corporate profits forward to go directly to environmental activism and a number of, you know, local community initiatives that we have as well, just to be better neighbors on the ESG side, so forth and so on. So thanks again for the opportunity. And again, I'm really looking forward to bringing everybody else's chapters. Thanks, Mike. Dean. Thanks, Jamie. My name is Dean Nelson. I'm the chairman and founder of infrastructure masons where professional association uniting the builders of the digital age, literally the people on this call, the authors in this book and hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It's pretty incredible. As I believe everyone knows, the world has grown dependent on digital infrastructure. This call is an example of that. It is part of almost everything in our lives from health and fitness to social media, volunteers and platforms, agriculture and almost every business function on the planet. It supports trillions of transactions and billions worth of commerce every day and it's only growing. My article tries to help us define what the industry is and its size. And the reason is to give us a starting point to measure our progress. If the world's consumption of digital infrastructure is the 2.4% of the global energy draw today with a little over half the world's population online and with the entry into the IoT age, what will that consumption be in the future? What we build, how we power it, how we as people consume it are all important parts of greener data. Embodied carbon must be measured in materials and products so we can drive that down. Carbon emissions must be measured in the power we consume to make that when we move those bits around as green as possible, regardless of where the data is generated or consumed. That demand is driven of course by the use of digital infrastructure by people and machines. Greener data to me means that we are looking at all aspects of the ecosystem and make sure we balance those factors. The digital infrastructure industry must be the stewards of building the right thing, the right way, at the right time to minimize the impact on the planet. Our aspiration is to get to the ultimate greener data which I believe is going to be net zero. So that's where I'm at. Well said, absolutely. Thank you so much, Jean. Mary. Hi, my name is Mary Allen. I'm Chief Content Officer at Insight as a Service. We're a group that has been working, thinking and covering green IT for many, many years. For this chapter, I've worked very closely with Francois Stéret, who's the Chief Industrial Officer at OVH Cloud and the team at OVH. We spent a lot of time in our chapter exploring this idea of the carbon conundrum, and this is for cloud providers in particular. So the kind of acceleration of data use that Dean and others have focused on is potentially good news for the IT, or sorry, the data center industry, but it's not so good from a carbon perspective. So our focus was to talk in very practical terms about what we can do, but how you can actually expand your efforts in your initiatives. So at OVH Cloud, the first area of concern and focus was the facilities, and OVH Cloud developed a pretty revolutionary water cooling system that they've deployed at scale. The next step was to move into the IT infrastructure through better lifecycle management. And finally today, they're really focusing on drawing in a broader community of stakeholders to try and solve some of these challenges. So that includes things like holding and requiring greater accountability from upstream partners, but also providing clients and customers with the kind of information that they need from their data center providers to help them improve their own carbon footprint. So it's really, the chapter is all about broadening the initiatives, expanding the initiatives, and broadening the group of stakeholders that can be aligned in this movement or in this initiative. And that's why we were so happy to be able to work with you, Jamie, because I see the book as really wonderful educational outreach to help us all work harder to help the planet. Thank you, Mary. Well said. Sean. Hi, I'm Sean Farni, director of marketing for Kohler data centers. I'm a self-professed digital nerd who has built and run every part of the data center ecosystem over the last 20 plus years. And I'm happy to be here because I love the space, the amazing engineering involved in all the technology that goes into data centers, and especially the passion of all the brilliant people that we're here with today and will hopefully consume this important book. And I'm honored to participate in this endeavor and inspired by the combined efforts of all of us digital infrastructure doers and influencers to answer this tough sustainability imperative. And finally, I'm really excited along with my Kohler author colleagues to share perspectives on both the revolutionary approaches to data center greener data, radical new technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and grid scale batteries and perhaps even private nuclear someday, as well as the evolutionary approaches to this sustainability imperative using existing reliable technologies and products but continuously evolving them to reduce carbon impact. A great example is alternative fuels like HVO or optimizing operations, green operations, sustainable operations, doing things with the way you run a data center to have a lesser impact or modifying engine technology, for example, to have less testing involved at less load to reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption. So again, excited to be here and happy to be able to share that perspective with this combined audience. Well said. Thank you, Sean. Patrick. Hey, Jamie, thank you very much and thanks for including me with this group of authors. Really excited to be part of this. You know, I'm with Patrick Gingroso, by the way, with MCFI, Mission Critical Facilities International. We focus a lot on delivering and developing sustainable solutions from microgrids using fuel cells and solar to our data center designs that are pre-engineered and really develop design to shorten the timeframes and reduce carbon footprint and reduce the requirements for building the data center. You know, I've spent a lot of time doing fuel cells having done this back in 2002, 2004 when green wasn't cool. Now it's cool and it's exciting to see it come back, right? But really doing this as part of what you mentioned earlier about leaving something for our kids and are just doing it for when I was with my girls and we did White Princess. And the whole, one of the models that I always remember was when you visit a place, you always want to leave it better than when you found it. And I view that as the world we're visiting today, right? So, you know, my chapters around this is road to sustainability and really talking about what does it mean to be sustainable in the data center, not just energy efficiency and renewables, which is all great, but it's also about our building practices and using vendors and our community around us and ensuring that they're also following the sustainability goals that we're trying to get to. But part of that really is also around, you know, how do we monitor and measure it and how do we, you know, compare it against a standard that we're all agreed to. And right now that really doesn't exist. So how do we do that? How do we be transparent with the data and that how well we're doing against our goals to be sustainable? Well said. Thank you, Patrick. Wes. Hi, Jamie. Thanks for having me. I'm Wes Swenson, CEO of NOVA Data Centers. You know, for me, this is a great opportunity to explain through the written word a little bit about what I think we can do in the industry as data centers. Myself, I choose design and build these data centers and have a responsibility to do the best we can to have the lowest environmental impact from renewable energy to waterless cooling. But I think also the fact that this industry, the internet itself is about 31 years old. I think the opportunity is actually here. I mean, if you think about this in another 100 years, we have a big impact today on the market in environmental impact. I think we can actually be purveyors of change in this industry. And I really look at it as an opportunity to go from best practices to next practices. So, you know, I'm really actually super positive about this book and the different stories. The insights from all of these experts in the industry, it's amazing. So I'm just thrilled to be a part of it. And we're thrilled to have you part of it. Lee. Thank you, Jamie. I'm Lee Kirby chairman and co-founder of salute mission critical. We run data centers worldwide and in that we think that we've got some best practices that are worth sharing because we can make an impact in the data centers we're in, but together we can all make the impact that we need for the climate. So we put those best practices in there. We put the what we think are commercially viable options because they do drive out PNL impact and can be justified in your project budgeting. And they drive out societal change. So if anybody can take what we've shared and learn from it, I think we can do more together. And that's what inspired me in this book was looking in my grandchildren, looking at the group of authors we have here. I think we can have an effect that lives on for generations and just very tickled to be a part of this. Thank you. Couldn't, couldn't appreciate you more Lee. Thank you. Have no. Hello. I'm not having a shadow CEO of several fun and very happy to be part of it. Obviously, I think this is very important. We have always been very interested in, in our environmental impact. We actually got into data centers because it's, it's equivalent to driving your private car and then taking a bus, right? All our customers are sitting in one building. They're much more efficient than the old data closets of the past and the big computer sitting by our legs at the past. And actually the good leg warmers, but we may need to find another solution for this problem. We, in our chapter, we concentrated a lot about the myth of green versus the reality of green. You know that the lip service versus what's real, trying to encourage people to even take smaller steps, but take real steps towards truly getting as green as possible. And we keep looking for these real steps and the ability to make a real impact. And we believe in people. We got this far. We're very far from caves. We know that the stone age didn't end because the world went out of stones. So we believe the carbon age is going to end before we run out of fossil fuels. So here to help. Thank you. Thank you. Nicole. Thanks so much, Jamie. Thanks for including us as part of this book. My co-author is Eric Contag, who's president and trustee of the suboptic foundation. And I'm Nicole Starrasowski and I am the lead researcher at the suboptic foundation and associate professor at NYU. In our chapter, we titled it call for connective thinking and it grows out of a collaboration that Eric and I have been working on for several years. And in this chapter, we talked a lot about the work that we've been doing with the suboptic foundation, which is a charitable organization of the subsea cable industry. And we are deeply invested in a sustainable future for the subsea cable network. The suboptic area is almost a hundred percent of trans-oceanic internet traffic between continents. And we describe in the chapter how it's important to think about sustainability across the value chain from manufacturing to cable landing station development to the recycling of old cables. And one of the things that we kept wondering about as we were writing this chapter is how should we be thinking about sustainability as we build out digital infrastructure for the next generation. And one of the things that we propose in the chapter is that we need to focus not just on building connections for others, but on connective thinking itself, right? To bridge digital infrastructure, thinking to other sectors, other industrial sectors, economies, knowledge domains to learn as much as we can and to share our knowledge. And so for example, while there's been much work on data centers and sustainability, we're still charting these waters for a subsea. And this is in part because subsea is pretty environmentally friendly. They have little effect on the sea floor.  And also we can leverage the less these, the areas that are more sustainable to make the network more sustainable as a whole. So we can take more cables and lay them to strategically place data centers in order to unlock renewable energy resources. And we end our chapter with a call to action where we're calling for industry support and development, forward-looking programs that have sustainability at their core. And we're excited to join all of you in this process. Well said. Thank you, Nicole. Bill. Thank you so much, Jamie. And I'm really excited to be able to contribute to this book and be a part of this wonderful endeavor to create a greener planet for tomorrow. I'm Bill Klayman. I'm the EVP of digital solutions over at this really cool company called Switch. And we believe in green. From the first time, from the first day that we opened the doors for our very first data center, we've always leveraged green and sustainable solutions. Everything from building effluent water pipelines to designing some of the world's largest behind the meter solar and battery arrays. We have switched, built big massive hyperscale data centers, but also make sure that they are environmentally friendly and created on a greener architecture. Now, I know that we are a connected society. We are truly driven by data. Just look at how, how much we're relying on these tools today. But just because data runs the planet doesn't mean it should ruin the planet. And so we get to our chapter powering the fourth industrial revolution. But my story of my chapter actually begins somewhere else. It begins in the country that I was born in Kiev, Ukraine. And we talk about where I started, how I saw human ingenuity in industry creativity. To come to where we are today. And so in my chapter, I discuss some of the amazing endeavors and inventions and things that I've seen in our industry, everything from title turbines to massive solar projects to floating solar panels to nuclear power data centers. This is true human ingenuity and industry creativity. And we talk in this, in this chapter about creating a future that's truly more green where we use our ingenuity and our creativity to actually power a much more sustainable future. So that's what I hope in reading this chapter and in seeing all of these other wonderful contributions that you, you take something away too, have a reflective thought and think about how you can make a small change today to make a bigger impact for a greener future tomorrow. Well said. Well said. Param. Thanks, Jamie. I'm Karim shake, chief technology officer at virtual power systems. I'm also a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University's integrated innovation Institute. So before joining VPS eight years ago, I was on the IT side, architecting and building software applications and deploying them in data centers without really much insight into what is happening on the facility side. So life is all good. But while I was with VPS, I really got to learn how far colors and facility facilities teams have to go to keep their tenants and IT happy. And the as a result, there's a lot of inefficiencies that have both economic as well as environmental impact. So when I got the opportunity to write a chapter for this book, I wanted to introduce the idea of an autonomous digital infrastructure, which is about software really playing a role in optimizing data center using the idea of software defined power. It's very similar to how it benefited from virtualization or software defined compute many years ago. Right. So my goal is to really explain how ADI maximizes the utilization of the power infrastructure in the data center, while also ensuring that we have full SLA compliance. And there's economic benefit to both tenants and colors. But more importantly, there's a big benefit to the environment because you're able to fully utilize what we have built. So what I really hope out of this chapter is that data center stakeholders that able to align with the calls to action that I mentioned in there. And I'm really looking forward to a strong adoption of software defined power in our industry for the next several years. And it should lead us to more greener data. Well said. Thank you. Brad. Thank you, Jamie. I'm Brad Meisner. I'm responsible for color power systems data center focused products. Our chapter asks industry leaders to challenge some of their assumptions as it pertains to the evolutionary and revolutionary changes occurring in backup power for data centers. We discuss how on site power generation is still the most reliable and lowest carbon footprint option for backing up a data center. With advancements like HVO fuels and revised maintenance plans. We are actually able to achieve near net zero carbon impact with traditional technologies. We also discuss promising future technologies like battery storage and fuel cells, including when they might become viable in the future and what hurdles they're going to need to overcome in order to be viable. It's been an honor to collaborate with so many industry leaders to write and publish this book. It is a start to a long journey that all of us are going to need to continue to collaborate on. But I am really looking forward to it. Very well said. Thank you. Next, Melissa. Thank you, Jamie. I'm Melissa Riali-Ali. I handle digital and content marketing for colors data center team. The rise in data as we all know comes in increased need for reliable backup power sources to keep mission critical applications operating in the event of an inevitable power failure. Kohler is building upon over 100 years of generator technology and trying to lead the way in providing a sustainable backup power option. Our chapter is about the emerging technologies, the latest practices, everything that can be applied to achieve a more sustainable outcome. And I'm both excited and humbled to have contributed to this extremely impressive book alongside so many great leaders in the sector. And I look forward to the continued collaboration as we all try to power a better greener future. And from Asia, we have Bram Singh. Bram. Hi, everyone. I'm Bram Singh, the CEO here at BDX. We are a data center company with facilities in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Singapore and now Indonesia. Today is Earth Day and I'm so excited about the book coming out, Greener Data, in which our chapter is called Paving the Path Ahead. And I do hope you get to read it because it shows how we have used our automated platforms like 360 View to address some of the issues that have played the carbon trade since its inception with the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. A lot of these issues continue to remain and this chapter of ours shows how we are fighting to address them. So I look forward to you enjoying the book. Thank you. Well said. Thank you. And now, Eric Contag. Hi, my name is Eric Contag. I'm the president and trustee of the Suboptic Foundation. And let me start by saying, thank you, Jamie. What an amazing initiative to pull together industry leaders and write the greener data. You know, our world is going through an exponential growth of data and over the next decade, we're going to see faster speeds. We're going to see 5G, IOTs, potentially the connected car and other technologies that we have not even thought about. All of these require massive amounts of new builds and digital infrastructure. And as we build these systems, we need to think about energy. We need to think what can we do from the design, the construction, the implementation of the operation to operate all these facilities in a greener way. What we want is connective thinking. We need to think about the facilities and services in a very different way than we have thought about before. This is a call of action for you to think about these things and act on these things by looking for greener sources of energy for digital infrastructure, but at the same time to think about how to remade our planet by removing greenhouse gases through sequestration and other technologies using nature-based solutions. What we want is a greener planet for ourselves, our kids, their kids in humanity to live in in the decades and centuries to come. Thank you. And now from Ireland, Gary Connolly. Thank you, Jamie. Gary Connolly is my name and I'm founder of Greener. I'm really delighted to be part of this book. It's such fun. As many of the other authors have already highlighted, it's about a greener data or a data center. Energy is a big part of that story. And many of the other speakers will talk about reusing, replacing of electricity and energy. For me, I want to talk about something that's really important. It's about pollinators. Pollinators are those little bees mostly that buzz around your garden and help to pollinate the flowers. And when one considers that these little bees, of which there are hundreds in the world, are really responsible for over 70% of our crops, then you can realize that if those lads disappear, we have a food source. Usually, they have a lot of professional services people with small offices or large offices working on it. So collectively as a community, both in the community and around the community, if we can just make one small change to the design of those campuses, it can greatly help the pollinators. So what we looked at was we decided in the first place, we were going to do a pollinator plan. We were going to do a pollinator plan with the National Biodiversity Data Center. We asked them what's the real challenge and you'd be surprised. Stop cutting your grass. Imagine that. Just don't cut your grass. That's the first thing you can possibly do. Then when you're building out data centers, maybe take an area of the city and have a pollinator plan for the data center industry and that can be from your campus right the way through as I said earlier to a bee box maybe in an engineer's office and that's where the little bees live. But the health of the bees is a great indication of the health of society because we've got to give of ourselves. So therefore, one of the things that data center suppliers are often told or we hear is you're building a bee box on the top of a hill and we don't know what you're doing. We don't see any containers going in or out. There's no people. It's very austere. It's very like Harry Potter. But actually what we can do with the pollinators is we can reach out into the communities with orchards where we can actually look at the local tidy towns, the local hospices, the local schools and help them to understand what we're doing by actually planting orchards because orchards are one of the first things to flower early in spring and most of these little bees they sleep and hibernate in the winter and they wake up starving. So when they see this pollinator frenzy of a beautiful orchard it's a wonderful thing to see. So I'm delighted to be involved in this greener data book. I'm looking at it from a slightly different angle. I think it's really important that we holistically join all of the dots. We don't build what we can. We replace what we can. We don't build if we don't have to. But I think the bees, the pollinators and biodiversity is a way for us as a data center community to reach into the greater community and make a lasting difference. So Jamie and team, thank you so much. I hope that's been good enough for you. Thank you so much and goodbye. Well said. Appreciate that. Up next, Bruce Lerman. Well, thanks, Jamie. Appreciate being a part of this and I really appreciate you for taking the role in leading this initiative and getting us all together as authors. I think it's going to have a spectacular impact on the way the world sees us as data center operators and IT community. So thank you for that. My name is Bruce Lerman. I'm the founder, CEO for Involta and we are a nationwide hybrid IT service provider services. We have a large enterprise organizations meeting their IT needs. And as many others, we do consume a fair amount of power and seeing that continue to increase as we continue to grow. I am really excited about this project because personally and professionally I have the opportunity to do little pieces every day to help make the world a greener future from the work we do inside our organization to be more energy efficient. You know, there's no silver bullet and I think that that's one thing that we all need to recognize. But there are things that you can do every day to make yourself better and greener and, you know, even personally you have a choice to make whether you put solar on your home or think about how you set your thermostatic and the small things all add up over time. And I can tell you as an organization of Involta, you know, we've seen small decisions over a course of years have a huge impact in the energy consumption and the efficiency we have. And so I'm excited to share those with others and really look forward to hearing feedback so that we can continue to make this world greener. Thank you. Well said. Appreciate that. And thank you for inviting me to be part of this project. That's so important. I'm Raul Martinek. I'm the CEO of Data Bank.  And ultimately, you know, I don't see that changing into the future. In fact, you know, probably there'll be a lot more data centers in the future. So I was excited to participate in the greener data project because ultimately we have to figure out as an industry how to become more environmentally friendly. Climate change is a real dynamic in my view. And ultimately our industry needs to find a pathway to be able to still support our customers but to do so in an environmentally friendly way. So in the chapter that we put in the book, you know, we kind of talk about some of the efforts that Data Bank has implemented to reduce our power consumption to make our data centers more efficient and to utilize more greener sources of power. So excited to share that with the wider community and we're supporting our goal from a data bank from a corporate perspective to be 100% carbon neutral by 2030. So thanks again, Jamie, for allowing me to participate and I'm sure the book is going to be a great success. Well said. Appreciate that. Thank you, Jamie, for organizing the greener data book initiative. Hi, I am Bob Painter, President of the Senate. As a data center operator and service provider, we welcome the opportunity to help our customers with their sustainability goals. In my chapter hidden in plain sight, I utilize my team's data center experience and our engineered focused approach to offer our readers simple low cost operational initiatives to help the cause today. Thank you. Well said. Thank you, authors and friends. There you have it viewers, a preview of greener data, not just a book, but a movement. Be part of the change.

When a client messages me that like thank you so much or this is gonna be cherished forever or you have no idea what this means to me, honestly that's like the best part of it. I'm Ashley Solis, an entrepreneur, currently living in Hampton, Virginia with my two children and husband who is active duty Air Force. It wasn't about the money, it was about the passion. It was about me wanting to capture memories that I would cherish forever. Then it turned into okay, this can be a business. This can be something as a military spouse that I can really do, that I can help my family that doesn't limit me to where I'm stationed. I can't ever get into a session and fall in love with it if my heart's not there. So that's why I think I like doing families and kids because like seeing a kid and all their innocence and taking their picture, seriously there's absolutely nothing better. I want my clients to walk away feeling like they made a friend and that wow, this girl really cared about this session. If you have the passion for something, I say go for it. No matter what it is, but you gotta put your heart into it. You gotta know it's not always easy. There's gonna be bumps and there's gonna be curves, but as long as you just keep pushing through with your heart and your passion, you can do anything you want.


Item number SCP-008 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-008 samples have been deemed Class 5 Extreme Biological Hazards, and all related protocols apply. Incineration and irradiation measures will be deployed in the event of political or military action, which may result in the facility being dismantled, a power failure, zero communications from operatives or outside channels during any given eight-hour period. The quarantine period for operatives leaving the facility is four months. If a breach has occurred, incineration and irradiation measures shall be deployed. It should be the policy of all G2 sites to not prepare an evacuation procedure. Description SCP-008 is a complex prion, samples of which are stored in each of the known G2 sites. Research into SCP-008 is highly classified and primarily aimed at preventing research which may lead to the synthesis of SCP-008 in the distant future. Traits of the SCP-008 prion include 100% infectiousness, 100% lethality, transmission through exposed mucous membranes and all bodily fluids, not airborne or waterborne. Symptoms of infection with SCP-008 manifest no more than three hours after exposure and include flu-like symptoms with high fever plus severe dementia in later stages. Coma onset approximately 20 hours after first symptoms appear and 12 hours after noticeable dementia. Coma onset will be considered onset of death. A period of sporadic cellular necrosis occurs which comes to resemble gangrene. Surviving tissue assumes its original function and is highly resilient. Red blood cells greatly increase oxygen storage capacity resulting in slower blood flow and increased muscle endurance and strength. Nervous and muscular systems are unaffected by total organ failure for several hours. Metabolism may decrease to extremely low levels allowing subject to survive for over 10 years without nutrition. High blood viscosity results in negligible blood flow from gunshot, puncture and slashing injuries.  Animals experience excessive brain necrosis and are inactive. Subject can adapt to its damaged nervous systems but is limited to basic physical activities including standing up, balancing on two legs, walking, biting, grabbing and crawling. Subject will energetically move towards sights, sounds and smells it associates with living humans. Subject will attempt to ingest living humans if physical contact is made. Neutralizing fully infected subjects require significant cranial trauma. There is strong evidence to suggest SCP-008 itself did not form naturally on Earth since variants of similar complexity would have displaced much of the ecosystem. In 1959, a short collaborative effort with the USSR to locate G2 sites and eliminate SCP-008 was negotiated following their discovery. The status of SCP-008 in Russian custody since collaboration ended is unknown. Addendum 008-1, SCP-500 has been found to be able to completely cure SCP-008 even in the advanced stages of the disease. Item number, SCP-16, Object Class, Keter. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-16 is to remain within the confines of a 5x5x5 meter room at all times, maintained at a temperature not to exceed 0°C. SCP-16 itself is to remain in the Petri dish in the containment cube at all times, unless directed otherwise by level 4 or 05 personnel. Full documentation of experimentation with SCP-16 must be submitted before and after samples and duplicates of SCP-16 may be taken. Failure to follow these procedures will result in termination or reassignment as Class D personnel. Only authorized personnel may be permitted to obtain samples of and experiment with SCP-16 under BCL-5 containment conditions. If an outbreak does occur, despite following the aforementioned procedures, directive base personnel are to implement a Code Sigma lockdown and containment plan. Infected personnel are to be terminated on site by security forces wearing standard mission-oriented protective posture, or MOPP, anti-biological and anti-chemical equipment. Should the infection not be contained after 48 hours, the on-site nuclear device is to be detonated. Remaining personnel are not to be evacuated under any circumstances. SCP-16 has been shown to survive for up to 6 hours on hard surfaces, and up to several minutes in air. High-intensity ultraviolet light and high concentrations of orthothelialdehyde solution have been demonstrated to be effective in disinfecting non-organic surfaces. Description SCP-16 is a blood-borne pathogen recovered from a mine worker in... who injured himself while working in a deep coal seam. Said wound became contaminated with coal dust from the mine, possibly infecting the worker with dormant spores. Over the next several days, SCP-16 proceeded to infect the remaining employees at the mining camp, as well as the CDC crisis team dispatched to deal with the epidemic. Foundation personnel then took over the investigation and terminated all affected personnel. Patient Zero was brought into captivity, and the mine shaft was collapsed by an explosive device. SCP-16 has an incubation period ranging from 24 hours to 2 years, depending on the presence and number of other human hosts in the area. First symptoms resemble the common cold, and include itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, and bodily aches. Phase 2 begins in 48 hours, and consists of a controlled form of hemorrhagic fever, as the organism causes a small amount of blood to become aspirated in the lungs, creating an aerosol effect. During Phase 3, the host crashes and bleeds out, bleeding profusely from every bodily orifice, including the nose, tear ducts, anus, skin pores, mouth, urethra, and in case of females, vagina. Blood pressure skyrockets during the final stage. Hosts have been observed projectile-vomiting blood to distances of over 5 meters. Should the host survive this near-total exsanguination, the pathogen will become dormant once more, returning to incubation phase. What distinguishes SCP-16 from other strains of hemorrhagic fever, such as Ebola and Marburg, is its unusual response to high stress. Should the subject undergo a high stress situation, such as a life-threatening crisis, the organism will change its survival tactic from rapid reproduction to the rewriting of the host's DNA and stimulation of rapid cell division. Major physiological changes occur within the first 24 hours, with complete bodily reconstruction occurring within two weeks' time. Most hosts do not survive the process due to the heavy demands made on the body. Due to their similarities as fatal contagions that stimulate the production of excess organs, a possible link to SCP-1801 is under investigation. An interesting side effect of the transformation is an increased aggressive urge. It is believed that this may be an attempt to maximize the spread of the virus in a manner similar to rabies. On another note, subjects who undergo bodily transformation no longer appear to exhibit SCP-16's hemorrhagic properties. However, subjects infected by transformed hosts will still undergo the normal SCP-16 infection process. Addendum. Experiment log of SCP-16's transformative properties. Subject D-16-1. D-class personnel infected by SCP-16. Upon first showing symptoms, subjects' quarters were slowly flooded with water over a 24-hour period. SCP-16 mutated into a teratomorphic state, transforming subjects' lungs into gills. Subjects survived for two more weeks as SCP-16 transformed its limbs into fins, caused its eyes to atrophy, and enhanced its sense of hearing into a type echolocation ability. Subject was terminated by draining all water from its quarters, causing it to asphyxiate. Body was subsequently cremated without autopsy. Subject D-16-2. D-class personnel infected by SCP-16. Upon first showing symptoms, subjects' quarters were slowly flooded with water over a 24-hour period. SCP-16 mutated into a teratomorphic state, causing subjects to undergo rapid muscular growth and increased bone growth on knuckles. Subject then attempted to escape from confinement by punching through the reinforced steel door. Subject was not successful and died by drowning. Note. Same situation. Two different responses. Interesting. Dr. Br... Subject D-16-3. D-class personnel infected by SCP-16. Subject was previously a chemical engineer who poisoned his wife upon discovering her adultery. Upon first showing symptoms, subjects' quarters were slowly flooded with water over a 24-hour period. SCP-16 mutated into a teratomorphic state, causing subjects to grow an unusual organ on his chest, consisting of a chamber and two separate tubes. Organ continued to take in water and swell in size, until Foundation personnel, realizing what SCP-16 may be attempting, terminated the subject by gunshot.  Subject D-16-4. D-class personnel infected by SCP-16. Subject was told to concentrate on forming wings. No stress was applied. SCP-16 did not mutate into teratomorphic state. Subject died of exsanguination during Phase 3. Subject D-16-5. D-class personnel infected by SCP-16. Subject was told to concentrate on forming wings and placed in an acrylic box, suspended 305 meters or 1,000 feet above a mine shaft. A timer was placed outside the box, which Subject was told indicated the time to release. SCP-16 mutated into teratomorphic state, causing subjects to grow a tentacle-like organ on his left wrist similar to a spider's spinneret. Subject extended said organ through one of the box's air holes and extruded a strong silk-like substance which it then used to secure the box to the cable. Subject was terminated when the countdown reached zero and the bomb detonated. Item number SCP-20. Object class Keter. Special containment procedures. Samples of SCP-20 are stored in a series of sealed cultivation chambers inside a sealed containment room at Biological Research Area 12, which is accessible only via airlock. Nutrients are administered via automated robotic systems, as the cultivation chamber must remain sealed at all times. Hermetically sealed video surveillance cameras are installed within the containment room and must be checked daily for integrity. Any personnel entering the containment room must wear biosafety level 5 equipment, including rebreathers and undergo full anti-fungal disinfection upon exiting. Description. SCP-20 is a fast-spreading fungal organism that is capable of affecting the senses and behavior of living creatures, including humans. Samples of SCP-20 exhibit an unknown effect that renders them effectively invisible to direct observation, even when under a microscope. SCP-20 is only visible to humans when viewed through photographic or video surveillance. Once SCP-20 forms a colony, usually within a human residence, it will produce spores that affect the behavior of humans around it. Affected subjects will increase the heat and humidity within their homes to create an environment more suitable to the growth of SCP-20. Affected subjects also become more sociable in many cases and often invite acquaintances to their homes to further spread the organism. As the spores and mold colonies are invisible to affected subjects, the mold may sometimes grow directly on living subjects. As the spores and colonies within a home approach critical concentration, the health of affected human subjects will rapidly deteriorate, resulting in death. Further spread of the mold may occur as the bodies of any deceased subjects are encountered by emergency responders and healthcare agents, as well as transportation of the bodies to local morgs. SCP-20 was first encountered in where an undercover SCP agent noted dramatic personality changes in personnel working at the local hospital. Upon investigation by a containment team, it was discovered that almost civilians had been infected, as well as a majority of the town. The civilian population was terminated and the town incinerated under cover of a local flash forest fire. To date, over 12 outbreaks of SCP-20 have been reported. Investigations are currently underway to determine the source of these outbreaks and possible preventative measures. Addendum 20-01 excerpts from the audio-video mission recorders of Mobile Task Force 8a-10 See No Evil during the initial containment of SCP-20 on the ground. T2 Lead Team 2 Moving to the Red House T2 Calm Copy, UAV 1 is picking up one heat signature. T2 Lead Team 2 in place, ready to br- T2-2 Door Opening At this point, a civilian woman appeared in the doorway, holding a kitchen knife. Video surveillance showed that nearly two-thirds of her face was covered by mold growths. Civilian Woman Well, hello there, gentlemen. Care to take a breather inside? T2 Lead On the ground, drop the weapon!  T2 Lead, stop where you are, drop the weapon! Civilian Woman We, we just want to have some guests. Please, come in. T2-2 Drop that weapon! It is assumed that at this point, the infected civilian noticed T2-4 carrying a primed incendiary weapon and lunged forward at the team members with the knife. Civilian Woman Data Expunged T2 Lead Open fire, open fire! Gunfire Screaming Item Number SCP-059 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures A single specimen of SCP-059 is kept at Site-11B inside a graded Z laminate shielding box composed of depleted uranium, tantalum, tin, steel, copper, and aluminum. Surrounding SCP-059's containment box is a 7 meter by 7 meter by 7 meter area sealed as a level 4 biohazard area and surrounded by 3 centimeters of lead shielding. This area is to be sprayed daily with a solution of methyl isothiocyanate to prevent overgrowth of SCP-059-1. Personnel entering an SCP-059 affected area are cautioned to wear appropriate biohazard protection as well as type K-59-B radiation shielding. They are to remain in the area for no more than 15 minutes, as the radiation shielding is only partially effective. SCP-059-1 infestations found in the wild should be contained by removing the SCP-059 specimen responsible and incineration of all observed SCP-059-1. Large underground infestations are best neutralized by fuel air thermobaric explosives. Additional specimens of SCP-059 are not needed for experimentation and should be transported to Site-11B for incineration by plasma arc at 10,000 Kelvin. Description. SCP-059 is a radioactive mineral of unknown origin, superficially resembling shillite. A component of SCP-059 is believed to originate in an alternate universe and to be responsible for its anomalous properties. In addition to alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, SCP-059 specimens produce a previously unknown type of radiation, apparently unique to the object, tentatively designated delta radiation. Delta radiation is accompanied by Chorenko radiation, visible as a blue glow. Delta radiation is only partially contained by standard radiation shielding. The best results have been obtained using grade Z laminate shielding with an additional super dense metal layer. This reduces the effective range of delta radiation from approximately 20 meters to approximately 6 meters. When an area is exposed to delta radiation for more than 15 minutes, an unknown species of fungus designated SCP-059-1 begins to grow on any exposed surface. This fungus does not require any standard nutrition but will die within 24 hours of removal from a delta radiation source. SCP-059-1 is itself radioactive but does not emit delta radiation. However, if a critical mass of SCP-051-1 is allowed to grow, delta radiation from an unknown source other than SCP-059 will appear in the area, further supporting SCP-059-1's growth. Interested readers may consult Dr. Brown for his theories of space-time stress and merger of alternate realities. Within 18 hours, the infected mass will become transparent and disappear, presumably into the universe that is a source of delta radiation. The process then continues, with SCP-059-1 infecting new material. SCP-059-1 will infest both living beings and inanimate objects. Humans and animals infected with SCP-059-1 become immune to the effects of ionizing radiation but progressively merge with SCP-059-1 and eventually, have all tissues replaced by fungal growth. While generally non-violent, they will attempt to expose unaffected individuals to SCP-059. SCP-059-1 infections do not appear to be directly contagious, but only spread by contact with delta radiation. However, long-term exposure to SCP-059-1 has not been adequately tested to rule out considering it a biohazard, as well as a known radiation hazard. Infected individuals still capable of communication describe seeing a world entirely covered with SCP-059-1, where much of the surface is composed of SCP-059. It is unclear whether this is a hallucination or a view into the source of SCP-059. Infectees are generally pleased with their condition and often refer to being in the blue light of heaven. SCP-059-1 is affected by most fungicides, but new growth will continue as long as SCP-059 is present. Early stage SCP-059-1 infection in humans may be treated with Griseo-Fulvin. However, the treatment is 90% likely to lead to death by radiation poisoning. Treated individuals lose their immunity to radiation and will already have absorbed a now lethal dose prior to treatment. Late stage treatment should not be attempted, as too much tissue will already be converted to SCP-059-1. The remains of failed treatments should be kept out of range of SCP-059. Otherwise, data expunged. SCP-059 specimens have been discovered in eight different underground locations, across a range of 5,000 kilometers. No pattern has emerged for their appearance. Specimens range from 1 to 10 kilograms in size and are not part of the normal rock formations in the areas where they have been found. Addendum. Dr. P. has recorded and analyzed the patterns of radiation emitted by the contained SCP-059-1 colony and believes SCP-059-1 may be sapient and attempting to communicate via controlled emissions of radiation. Initial attempts to analyze this language reveal data expunged. Item number. SCP-032. Object Class. Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-032 is to be housed in Automated Containment Unit 535-15. Direct contact with SCP-032 is to be restricted to research relevant tasks only. Interviews, if deemed necessary, are to be carried out using the unit's remote communication array. While SCP-032's presence is not directly harmful to the human body, exposure to it is to be limited to periods of 12 hours or less due to its adverse effects on most beneficial microorganisms. SCP-032 is not to be exposed to any biological material not refined or otherwise tempered by humanity with an emphasis on non-human living entities. SCP-032 neither requires nor requested substances or other forms of comfort. Description. SCP-032 is a type F, imperfect external resemblance internally inconsistent, human simulacrum of currently unknown origins. It is composed of an outer shell of pigmented silicone 5.5mm thick and various plastic fiber polymers with an outward appearance of a Caucasian woman nearing the third decade of life. SCP-032's interior is composed entirely of liquid refined oil lacking any skeletal or muscle structure. Despite this, SCP-032 is capable of locomotion and speech. SCP-032 is capable of maintaining the illusion of humanity at a moderate distance, but becomes unconvincing at a closer range, causing mild discomfort in most observers. This effect has been deemed non-anomalous. Despite apparently possessing fully realized cognitive abilities, SCP-032 claims that it is not sapient, acting only as an intermediary instrument of its creators. The Foundation has not been able to verify or refute this claim as of yet. SCP-032 possesses extreme adverse effects to any biological entity in its close vicinity, not created, willfully influenced, manipulated by, or similarly relating to, humanity. All the exact nature of these effects varies. SCP-032's presence inevitably causes severe and irreparable damage to the ability of any living organism to exchange and or use energy. Wild Flora loses its ability to photosynthesize or otherwise produce or consume energy, fauna the use of its respiratory and digestive systems, etc. This applies to microorganisms as well, though SCP-032's effects seem to favor damage to their reproductive systems instead. It is hypothesized that this symbiotic relation some microorganisms have to humanity is the reason for this discrepancy. SCP-032 was discovered sitting on the doorstep of the inner compound of Foundation site near Slovakia. When questioned by Foundation security personnel, SCP-032 explained its anomalous effects and claims it was there to be stored. Surveillance footage show no record of the time of its arrival, and it is not yet known how SCP-32 came to know Site-032's location or approach it without being spotted. When asked for its reason for seeking Foundation custody, SCP-032 replied that it was there at the command of its creators, seeking indefinite storage until claimed. Addendum, Interview 032-A Note, this interview was recorded near the time of SCP-032's initial containment by Dr. Alexander Kovach, Site-032 resident psychologist, following its initial examination by Site Security. Begin log. Dr. Kovach, before we begin, there's something I feel I should ask you, since security so often neglects doing so. It's not strictly conforming to protocol, but I find it tends to make things easier. SCP-032, I was instructed to cooperate. Dr. Kovach, good. Very good. Tell me then, what is your name? SCP-032, I don't have one. People have names. I'm not one. Dr. Kovach, is that so? What did your so-called creators call you then? SCP-032, they didn't. Dr. Kovach, surely they had to refer to you somehow. SCP-032, I'm a vessel of their will and nothing else. They never needed to call. They never will. Dr. Kovach, in that case, would you mind if I referred to you as SCP-032? SCP-032, I was instructed to cooperate. Dr. Kovach, so you said, so you said. Tell me then, what is the purpose of your coming here? SCP-032, I'm to be stored here until collected. Dr. Kovach, security told me that much, but why here and collected by whom? SCP-032, collected by the ones they wish to torment and stored here because in finding me here he will suffer further. Dr. Kovach, is that so? Is that person you refer to part of this organization then? Do your creators bear some grudge towards a particular operative? SCP-032, he is not one of you, merely a one-time sympathizer of sorts. He believes you tried to help him once, and if he is forced here, if he finds me here, you will die. That will hurt him. They have no interest in any of you or your organization. You are here as a tool, just as I am. Dr. Kovach, who is this man then? What did he do to earn this sort of treatment from your creators? SCP-032, he did not know his place, one when he should have lost and was proud when he should have been humbled, was wasteful with gifts too precious for abuse. Dr. Kovach, and you are here as punishment. SCP-032, he was already punished, severely forced away from kin and kind to endlessly wander, to destroy against his will, to poison humanity by his very presence. Eternal solitude, flavored by ceaseless guilt, a masterwork of torment they say. Dr. Kovach, if that's the case, why are you here? SCP-032, because even in this existence, there is the occasional moment of solace. At times he may yet look to the world and see things he will not destroy, look to nature and feel warm wonder, and bask in the false light of ancient moldy memories. It keeps him sane, gives him hope, that will not serve, hence my presence. I am to be his last undoing, a hastening to the end of reason. Dr. Kovach, and how will your presence do that? Are you meant to deceive him in some way? Is that why you look the way you do? SCP-032, in a manner of speaking, eventually his wanderings will lead him here, to me, in a day, or a month, or a century, and he will recognize me and see what they think of his precious memories, how they mock them. He'll understand that because of his actions, she is forever beyond his grasp, and all that remains to him is me, a simulacrum as artificial as his hope. When he finds me, I will attach myself to him, and he will watch the mockery of his memories destroy his last source of solace, and that will be that. Dr. Kovach, I, um, you said he will recognize you, why? SCP-032, I used to be his wife, and log. Interview 032-B. Note, this interview was held six months following SCP-032's initial containment, as part of a series of interviews meant to evaluate SCP-032's cognitive abilities and personality, or lack thereof. Begin log. SCP-032, I hate her. Dr. Kovach, that's certainly a way to start an interview. Care to elaborate? SCP-032, the one I was made to look like, my... mold.  SCP-032, I don't. I hate her because they want me to. It serves their purpose. Dr. Kovach, how do you get that impression? SCP-032, the first thing they did after creating me, was to show her to me. It's not something they often do. Dr. Kovach, I don't follow. SCP-032, interfere with those who passed beyond their halls. They might be vengeful, spiteful, even cruel, but they take their duties very seriously. Just to show her to me, to risk disturbing her final rest, they wouldn't do that without a purpose. Dr. Kovach, and SCP-032, she was beautiful, so peaceful, serene, whole, even gone, even dead. I could see the essence of who she used to be, of who she still was, and forever will be, her soul. They told me she didn't get to live for all that long, but when she lived, she was herself. She was alive, and so I hated her. SCP-032, do you know what it feels like to be made as a mockery? In every line of that smooth, silent face, I saw a twisted reflection in my own, fragrant skin to molded plastic, soft hair to synthetic fiber, blood to oil, soul to nothing at all. Dr. Kovach, excuse me if this sounds presumptuous, but I can't imagine feelings like this coming from anywhere but yourself. SCP-032 shakes head, can't you see?  SCP-032, then a final realization. Dr. Kovach, and what would that be? SCP-032, he never won. End log. Item Number SCP-088 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-088 is to remain sealed in its airtight case at all times. The case is constructed of transparent acrylic plastic to resist the corrosive properties of SCP-088's secretions. In the event that SCP-088 should awaken from hibernation, any room that it is stored within should be constructed of durable plastics, rubber, or ceramics to hinder its ability to escape. Temperature of SCP-088's containment should not exceed 15 degrees Celsius, and any personnel entering containment must observe Level 4 hazardous material protocols, and wear the appropriate protective gear at all times. Any personnel who do not observe proper containment protocols in presence of SCP-088, or who show signs of physical mutation, are to be demoted to D-Class, and held for observation. Description SCP-088 is a humanoid with reptilian features, which appear to have been mummified in a languid posture. However, SCP-088 is merely in a state of hibernation, from which it may recover if it is again exposed to a more hospitable environment than its current containment. Research has indicated that SCP-088 is approximately 6,000 years old, and is capable of secreting a variety of hazardous biological compounds, from its mouth and hands. Some of these substances could be of great strategic value if replicated, but until a means to extract them without awakening SCP-088 is found, research into this area is on hold.  However, none of these beings were alive, and examination suggests that they were originally human. Information obtained by agents E-088-3 and E-088-7, and their subsequent mutation due to SCP-088 exposure, corroborates this theory. Addendum. SCP-088 was recovered in 1931 from a subterranean complex below Los Angeles, California. This site was originally discovered by GWS using a device he called a Radio X-Ray, which was little more than a mechanical dowsing rod. While S's methods were dubious, his discovery was not. After mapping a series of tunnels and gold deposits below the city, S declared that he had found the lost city of the lizard people, as described in the legends of Arizona's Hopi tribe. S's claims went as far as to be featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times on January 29th, 1934, before the Foundation was able to verify his claims and silence Mr. S. The subterranean complex was not nearly as extensive as described in legend, and most of the artifacts recovered within were too corroded to provide significant information, save for a long message carved into the rock wall of an unfinished tunnel. Containment Breach Overview In more than 70 years of containment, SCP-088 has only roused from its state of hibernation twice, breaching containment with a caustic fluid that dissolves most minerals and metals. Each time multiple personnel were exposed to a second compound, which SCP-088 uses to propagate itself. Affected personnel underwent a painful mutation, after which they shared the physical characteristics of SCP-088. Those few who received a large dosage of the compound, administered directly via mouth-to-mouth contact, were changed the fastest, and subsequently sacrificed themselves to protect SCP-088 from harm. SCP-088 has also demonstrated the ability to produce potent neurotoxins in liquid and gaseous form to combat containment personnel. Containment during the second breach was re-achieved by isolating SCP-088 and affected personnel in the facility and lowering the temperature. Affected personnel built a pedestal from discarded equipment, upon which SCP-088 took a recumbent position before slipping back into hibernation. The mutated personnel were neutralized at this point, and SCP-088 was returned to containment. The current strategy of lower temperature and non-metallic containment has been successful in keeping SCP-088 isolated. SCP-088 was reclassified to safe status on November 19th. Lesson complete.

It was quiet up to this point for the Yankees and then Sunday night a big trade goes down. Let's take a look at the nuts and bolts of it. I already mentioned Josh Donaldson coming over from the Minnesota Twins along with shortstop Isaiah Kiner-Felefa and catcher Brent Rortvitt in exchange the twins acquiring Gary Sanchez and Gio Urschella. The name Sanchez involved that makes it blockbuster alone and Jack Aaron Boone had hinted something might be coming but this went full blown on Sunday. It did Bob and when I analyzed this trade the two things or the two questions that I have first and foremost are who is Josh Donaldson? He's 36 years old when players get to that point you worry about regression. So that's a big part of this for the Yankees and the Yankees still believe in him. An on base percentage of over 350 last year, 26 home runs, an OPS of over 800 above average defense at third and a tenacity and a feistyness that should help their clubhouse. Who was Gary Sanchez? He was a player that the Yankees doubled and tripled and quadrupled down on but across the last four seasons though the power was elite for a catcher. This is a guy who hit 2-0-1 and Michael we know about the defensive problems that became an issue and with the Yankees when they analyze a player offense and pitch framing are almost valued equally. They now have a Gashioka and Rortvitt though they won't bring the offense that Sanchez did they are elite pitch framers. Yeah this is one of those deals that you can't say it's a slam dunk either way. Did the twins do great? Did the Yankees do great? I think it all has to play out and I think there are other moves for the Yankees as well. But when you look at it in an analytical standpoint if you look at Kana Falefa and if you look at Donaldson they both have wars last year of about 3.5 right around there Gary and Geo did not. So they really improved in that way. They didn't have a shortstop so by getting Kana Falefa rather than going for a story or a career in the long term deal the Yankees are telling you we still believe in Volpe or Paraza and they are going to be the shortstop of the future. I think that kind of Falefa simply is a little bit of a placeholder. I mean just to kind of crystallize it is it fair to say that maybe this deal was made Jack because they got the most they could out of Sanchez and Urchella. I think that is the case if you talk to the Yankees in the off season they were still talking about their belief in Sanchez and about how they wanted that offensive monster to come out. And as I said on the power side it was there but in other aspects of his game especially defensively there were issues. The Yankees number one pitcher Garrett Cole stopped throwing to Gary Sanchez and we talked about that on this show a lot. And the Yankees just decided it was time to move on from Sanchez but we should take a moment to pay some homage to Sanchez for his Yankee career. This was a guy who was a Yankee since he was a teenager. He never stopped trying. The Yankees always talked about his work ethic and everything he put into trying to be the best he could on the field. Perhaps he blossoms in Minnesota. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go there in a less pressurized situation and do well but I think you're right Bob. I think the time had come to pull the plug on Sanchez and I think the Yankees are a better team today than they were yesterday with this deal. That's why you have to look at it again. I think there are other moves that come but when it comes to Sanchez talking to a lot of Yankee people they felt that the outside noise became too loud for Gary. It really did affect him. I think the only reason that Gary was still the Yankee catcher moving into 2022 is they could not find somebody that they thought was better. But the outside noise did trickle down. The fans every time he makes a mistake defensively it was magnified in that room. It got to Gary and I think it affected Gary both defensively and offensively. And as Jack said probably best for him to move on maybe ends up having a really good season in Minnesota. All that's a little bit of an unforgiving ballpark for right-handed batter. And what the Yankees are telling you right now will take an under 200 batting average possibly behind the plate in order to have great defense. Because a combination of the two, Rortwit and Higashioka. I don't know if you're going to have much more than 200 batting average. You don't have some power but you are going to have defense.


Welcome back to the breakfast here on Clause TV Africa. Our focus now moves to Ogun state where there seems to be crisis brewing in a Oloke Meiji community where farmers and headers seem to once again be at loggerheads after of course an indigent of the community was killed. Some cows apparently also died as a result of a farm being poisoned and you know others. We're speaking this morning with Mr. Mohammed Abubakar the secretary of Macban in Ogun state. Good morning and thanks for joining us Mr. Abubakar. Good morning. All right we hope that we have good enough network to have this conversation but quickly fill us up fill us in with what exactly has taken place in Ogun state in the last couple of days. There's reports that indigents of the community are fleeing for their safety. What seems to be going on? All right we'll try to reconnect with you. Yes we're having issues hearing you clearly so we'll try to reconnect with you. So he's basically you know kickstarting the conversation talking about what exactly happened but we'll try to get back because that network quality isn't perfect at all so we're doing it to get to the bottom of the smarter. Find out what exactly is happening. If we're having cases where farmers are poisoning their own land because herders are encroaching on it then it's there's a problem something needs to be fixed.  Good morning. Mr. Wubaka, good morning once again. Yeah so struggle this morning with the network I'm not sure what's going on but as we try to reconnect with him that's for me is the wildest part that you know people can decide or there's going to be reprisal attacks and the conversation we're having this morning is about how government can create peace in the community and how we can find you know you know a middle ground you and you try to calm nerves and all of that you would go to jail that should be the answer to killing anybody or destroying anyone's property that should be the answer. See how should we look at this should we look at it from the angle of all the herdsmen to count their losses because in the first place they did not poison your cows according to the statement that's what we have Mr. Mohamed Abubaka, secretary of manpower to explain their no the cows were not if the factor right their land was poisoned they poisoned their farmland not the they didn't give the cows something to eat and they died they poisoned their own farmland so anybody even if it's a human man who goes in there to steal something then becomes a victim of whatever was done to the land so we will really see that way and say you know we did not poison your cows we're poison our farmland so if you come in you bear the consequences of whatever it is or how else do we begin to look at this because if we get to the point where do you know what a cost to farm and what what the prices of foodstuff are saying in the market if it has gotten to the point where the farmers have it up to their throat that they have to take such a drastic action to basically send a warning to herders not to encroach on their farmland then it just shows how bad the situation is you cannot buy tomatoes to make a little pot of stew these days with all the money you have and you'll be comfortable I mean things are expensive so if farmers are trying to make ends meet you know contribute to Nigeria's food food security and all of that and we're having issues you know cattle basically destroying that are making a mess of those efforts then so earlier we had spoken about the anti-open grazing law you know and how it should be in place in Ogun state so in the first place we shouldn't even be having this conversation if people have respected the anti-open grazing law if we're talking about open grazing being banned in a place like Ogun state then in the first place we can say that the herdsmen you know the action of encroaching on people's farmland openly is illegal truth or false is that something we cannot agree on so why don't we begin to tackle the root causes of issues you know I believe that when southern governors meet today and allow Saikeja these are the things they should begin to talk about why is it so difficult to get farmers or to get to get protection for farmland so do we do we need to now have every farmer build a fence and put a gate on their farmland I mean how bad does it get no that's what we're saying how bad doesn't it get before we begin to get government intervention in cases like this because somebody even had to die I'll go back to you know realizing where we are as a country the fact that there is even conversations of reprisal attacks and indians have to flee their communities for their safety because there is a possibility that they will be attacked because a couple of cows had constipation at Daria after eating or encroaching on another person's farm and eating their crops there is no fear there is no regard for the fact that that is unlawful there's no fear that you will be arrested and you will prosecuted for taking another person's life or for destroying another person's property so we are the place where these things are almost normal and so what we need to do instead is find ways to you know create peace in the society get you know the leaders of magban get the traditional religion community to all meet and you know negotiate anyone tell the tell the you know the catur eras not to attack I can't believe that that's where we are because it is it is a crime that should take you to jail and so any person who is bold enough at this point to say oh they you know poison their their their crops and now my cows are sick and I'm going to attack their communities shows that you don't have any fear of being arrested by the police you have it you don't have any fear of whatever the laws of the state are I'm shocked that we we still are here so yes you know you might bring up the anti-open grazing law and say you know how how has this really been implemented in other states maybe you know you would not care of these things anymore but it would take maybe also needs to do better but it takes you back to when we used to say how many people have been arrested for the murder of indigens of communities across Nigeria how many can you point to and say oh this person we're going to make an example of this person he's going to get 10 15 years in jail for being a part of the raid that left 15 people dead in the community because of a farmer's headers clashes we're going to send this person to jail for 20 years or for 12 years because cattles were russeld and they found that that they are cattles rustlers and they're causing chaos in the community how many people would you point to in this whole conversation we've had in the last six years 10 years 20 years that you can say okay this person is in jail now because of the crimes that they committed and when you don't punish people for those crimes it gives others the boldness to say that our cows now have constipation because they ate because they first of all encroached on your land and ate your crops so we're going to come back and attack this community that's the boldness that it gives people for not punishing the crimes the crimes of exactly and that's why this has continued the first time because how would how would the education of millions of people in in a state be threatened such that schools are closed down people have to seek refuge elsewhere because of cattle when you reward when you reward criminal behavior with silence and you ignore it it gives you know the rise to many many more of those criminals two weeks ago we spoke about the bandit who was boasting of killing um soldiers to the jails of others yes and until today and did nothing till today there hasn't been any response from the nandria government to say oh we find that completely distasteful and that person will be found and apprehended and will be sent to to jail or we you know for his crimes there is no there's no we've not had that conversation so it almost feels like that person um i'm very sure that if we had that conversation with you know the nandrian government that there's going to be a person who would come out a shake maybe to defend that bandit and say well uh well you know he's angry you know we need to find way to give them amnesty and some other some other things like that that's what you get when you reward such behavior so instead of the ogun state government to ensure and put his foot down and say that and there will be no such reprisal attack in my state and if you dare even think it you will be sent to prison or you will be jailed and all your cows will be confiscated or whatever it is instead of us to do that we instead having conversations on television talking about how we can create peace in the community and what the traditional rulers need to do to ensure that there is peace yes there's always going to be a space for for dialogue there's always going to be that space for things like that but when it gets to a level where lives are being lost where indians have had to flee their communities where people can no longer go to school then we need to actually start to put our foot down on some of all these things the longer you continue to ignore you the longer you let these criminals continue to walk around the streets after committing crimes against the nandrian state the more of them you know you will continue to see and it may just never end and it's funny how we see the solution is just within reach simply arrest prosecutors but when will we ever see that happen you know hopefully we can bring the secretary of the miyatiala categories association in the genes of the community like we had today we'll apologize that that net of difficulty didn't allow for that conversation to go on but we still need to get the fact of this case and see how we can work together for a solution thank you very much my name is Aneta Felix it's been a pleasure conversing with you for the last two hours about you know top stories in Nigeria it's been the breakfast and plus TV Africa I'm just going to quickly see if I say my goodbyes I remember when you spoke about the poison of farmland I remember sometime in Enugu when so I used to park my cars at a certain place at night because I had someone I was going to go visit that stayed in the that stayed in a kind of rough area it's called a viago in Enugu so I used to park my car there at night you know spend the night you know leave in the morning so I remember that there are certain times when I would get up in the morning I'd get up in the morning you know get to my car and realize that someone has broken into my car and taken something you know sometimes it's food stuff you know you know oranges cakes whatever whatever I left in the car face caps t-shirts you know this time I lost money about 26 000 so I remember that time that I decided I was going to buy oranges and I was going to you know poison poison I was going to poison the oranges I put them in the car for whoever it is you know that wants to because they happen like three times they broke it back up about three times um so I was saying I was going to put you know inject this oranges with rat poison so whoever it is that decides that they want to break into the car again and you know see this fresh juicy orange no the friends but they needed it I eventually didn't do it though but I considered it I really did anyway thanks for joining us it's been a great monday morning I am Osaogi Agmawan see you tomorrow


When Galea's Campbell speaks, you listen. Don't get mad. So YouTube, Team Keep It Clean, what's going on is Engraven here with another video. And in this video, first before we get into it, thank you for 38,000 subscribers on this YouTube channel. Thank you for 1,000 subscribers on the Team Keep It Clean podcast YouTube channel. Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all and I appreciate y'all a lot and thank you for supporting what we do. Now, somebody else that is very supportive of what the Ravens do and all of their moves is one, Galea's Campbell. And Galea's Campbell is somebody that, like we said in the intro, when he speaks, you listen because his voice, just listening to him, his voice commands such a level of respect, not only throughout the Ravens team, but throughout the entire NFL football league. And he was on Speak For Yourself yesterday. He was speaking to one of you guys' favorite and analyst, Sam Acho, former NFL player. I believe he played linebacker and also Marcellus Wiley. And he had some very interesting things to say. They asked him the real questions. They asked him the good questions and he answered with some very, very good answers. So first he talked about how he obviously wishes that it was them playing in a Super Bowl and not the Kansas City Chiefs. He felt like they were the better team against the Buffalo Bills, but they, the Buffalo Bills, they executed better and they got the job done. But one of the questions that Marcellus Wiley asked him, he asked him about Lamar Jackson. Of course, you knew he was going to ask him about Lamar Jackson, but he asked him about Lamar Jackson, his strengths, his weaknesses, what does he do good? What does he do bad? He asked him for a scouting report and let's listen to Calais Campbell's response. Because my favorite player, Lamar Jackson, is your quarterback. With that said, Calais, I need you to give me a scouting report and it should be in depth because you get to see him every single day. Give me the greatest attributes he has and the things he needs to work on. Now, I was saying that Lamar, he can make every throw. You see it in practice and he puts the ball right in the money. It's an all pro quarterback throw and then there's times where he makes decisions.  You know, he still has a lot of growing up to do. And that's just, you know, that's part of being 24 or quarterback at NFL.  But I see, you know, when I look at Lamar, you know, I see a guy who can make every single throw as he continues to get older and starts seeing defenses and understanding the weaknesses of defenses. And he starts wanting a pre-snap. You know, he's gonna be a great quarterback in the sleep. He already is, but he's gonna be even better, you know? Okay, so he talked about how with Lamar Jackson, he can make every throw. And that's something that we all know. But he also talked about the decision-making and also reading defense is better. A lot of things that come with experience. Cause we know with Lamar Jackson, that's one of the things, and he said that Lamar Jackson, he'll make an all pro throw, but then there'll be, sometimes when he makes a throw and it'll be like, oh, okay, well, he's young. And with Lamar, we know the improvements that need to be made with Lamar Jackson as a quarterback. And that's one thing that we've spoken a lot of on here is the decision-making. Sometimes he'll be too hesitant. And when he's hesitant, it's usually never a good thing when it comes to a throw. And that can be with a lot of quarterbacks. But we've seen it this season where he'll have a receiver open.  And with Lamar Jackson, I feel like it's some little things that he could work on to take his game to that next level. And it's the little things that he can adjust and fix that can really make him that much better of an NFL quarterback. But let's see what Mr. Acho had to ask. That was a very, very good question that a lot of people have been talking about over the past 24 hours. Question, well, you're my dog, so I'm gonna ask you the hard questions, big bro. We've never seen a quarterback that scares defenses more with their legs when a Superbowl. Mike Bitt got close. He went to a conference championship camp. No one got even closer. He went to a Superbowl. He did. Do you think that Lamar Jackson can be the one to buck a trend that we've never seen get debunked?  He's a spectacular talent. You know, I play against Cam Newton multiple times. And, you know, I mean, he set the rookie record in passing yards, just came in the season, back in, I don't know how many years, but it was one time ago. And then, but Lamar, I see Lamar as a guy, man. He just, he has a great arm, and he has a great understanding of the game.  He has that talent, gotta use it. But I do see his ability to throw the ball. I know we don't do it much, but he's gonna continue to get better right here. It's all year, but he's gonna have a chance to win a few, you know, by the time his career is over. Yeah. So, Khalia's Campbell, he's saying what everybody already knows. Like I said, again, Lamar Jackson can throw. He reiterated that. But then he said, we don't really throw that much. And again, one of our biggest things this off season has not been, oh, Raven should just completely scrap what they're doing, and become this past first team. No, but again, we want the pass to compliment the run, and vice versa. But, Khalia's Campbell did say that he feels like Lamar Jackson is going to have an opportunity to win multiple, to win a couple of them. And when he said a couple of them, he meant Super Bowls. And with that being said, I really do believe that. I do believe that Lamar Jackson will have an opportunity to do that. But I think it depends on so much, as we all know, because winning Super Bowls, it's not an easy feat. It's not an easy task. It's not an easy accomplishment. I mean, besides for the two quarterbacks that's gonna be playing in the game in a couple of days. But besides those two, it's not something that, where you're there every single year, where you're just going back to back to back to back to back. It takes a lot of stuff going in your favor in order for you to win a Super Bowl. But one thing that it also takes is a lot of extra work. And with Lamar Jackson, again, he needs to elevate his game, but then the front office, they need to elevate their game as well. This front office needs to do a much better job. This year, then they've ever done when it comes to Lamar Jackson's supporting cast. And again, we voiced that on here a lot. Y'all have voiced it in the comment section a lot. Y'all have voiced it through questions from subscribers a lot. It is something that a lot of Ravens fans don't agree on a lot of things. But I do think that that is one thing that we all, we all agree on. It starts up front with the offensive line. Then it also trickles down to the wide receivers. The running backs, even though running backs, you know, Ravens take care of that. Tight ends, just everything. We want this team to put Lamar Jackson in the best possible position to succeed. And we want it to be to where, when it comes to contract time, but not even just contract time, but when it comes to game in, game out, every week that the season goes on for, we want this team to put Lamar Jackson in a position to where there are no excuses. There are no excuses. But until they do that, then we'll see how it goes. But, Klaas Campbell was asked about what the Ravens are missing. What do they need to take that next step? What's that peace that they ain't got right now? Let's listen. We've been talking a lot who is still one of only two NFL players ever to win a unanimous MVP. But no player can do it alone. So what is the missing piece for the Ravens? Elite receiver, the defensive pass for usher. What does Lamar need in the Ravens' need to get over that hump?  And they, I feel like they have a good understanding of what the team is and what the coaches need.  I'm not even sure what the coaches that's gonna look like, you know. That's true. We might have got promotions. Lost a lot, which is a good thing. Shout out to Zach Orr, by the way. He was right the last couple of years.   You know, we could use a big body receiver that can go to that wall.  Shout out to Miles Boykin, too. I love to try to keep as many guys as we can. You know, we have a lot of free agents. So I think that what we need to do is keep as many guys as we can from our back. Because our defense, you know, we got rolling towards the end of the year. That's true. They certainly did. They got rolling towards the end of the year. But now that that role came to a stop in Buffalo.  They still did a phenomenal job. But everything came to a halt. Because you couldn't display that defense the following week because your offense, the line, they just let you down. They let you down and the Ravens ended up losing that game. But, again, Calais Campbell, he sees what we all see. He sees the vision and like he said, they are close. And again, that's one thing with this Ravens team. We may complain about this. We may talk about that. We may get on them for not doing this, for not doing that, for doing that and for doing this. But one thing that we continue to say about this Ravens team every year under Lamar Jackson, they've been there. They've been successful. And they continue to get close, close. But he also said a big body receiver that's gonna go up and get it. That's gonna go up and catch it. Make those plays. And I felt like that was very, very telling of what Calais Campbell thinks of this Ravens offense and what could really take them to the next step. Now, Calais Campbell, can you let the front office know?  I know y'all don't normally do that, especially if they're young. Ravens usually got that age restriction where they'll be restricted if you're under a certain age. Like, if you're under 30, if you're under 31, and yeah, you can keep it moving.  So maybe if the Ravens just change that, maybe if they change that, not saying they're gonna go break the bank on a wide receiver this year, because I really don't expect them to, but I really don't. But something's gotta give. Something's gotta change with the whole wide receiver in free agency, and because again, this team, they're so close. They are so close, and we just want the best for them. And it sounds like Calais Campbell does as well. Anyway, team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Shout out to Calais Campbell, because I love how he answers the questions, because he kept it respectful, but he kept it real too. When he was talking about the team, when he was talking about Tom Brady and the Bucks versus Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, when he just talked about the whole nine, what the Ravens need, what they need to do, what they need to try to do, again, because they got a lot of players that are pending free agents, especially on that defensive line and pass rush. Again, Judon, Yanik Ngakwe, Bowser, Derek Wolfe, Jihad Ward. Like, ooh, all pending free agents. And I think they may be able to keep two at the max. And that's Derek Wolfe, and I'll save the other one for later. But anyway, team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And just like a lot of our defensive linemen and pass rushers are gonna be, once free agency hits, I'm out.
