Hi everyone, welcome to the 2021 Move-In Prep UR Come Live. My name is Emily Leal, I am the Marketing Intern for University Housing, and today I am joined with Jordan. My name is Jordan Frederick King, and I'm the Assistant Director for Greek Housing here at the University of Arkansas. I am one of the amazing team of people who are helping put on Move-In this year. I'm here to talk to you a little bit about what you need to know to prepare for your arrival later this week. So just for a little bit of background, did you go to school here? I didn't. I actually attended the University of Central Arkansas for my undergrad, and then I got my master's at a small school in Wichita, Kansas. I will be a student this fall as I'm starting my PhD here at the University of Arkansas. So I'm excited for this school year to start just as much as you guys are. Everyone in the chat, feel free to ask any questions that you have, or tell us where you're tuning in from, or just engage. Leave some comments. Yeah, awesome. By now, you all have received plenty of communication via email, or even through the mail of what you need when you arrive here at the University of Arkansas for Move-In. You've all been sent an arrival pass for your car so that you can know exactly where to go. This is kind of a generic one, but yours is going to match all of the wayfinding signs like this one and going to match your specific hall that you're assigned to. So if you're moving in to Reed, it's going to be pink just like this sign. This will be something that you can hang in your car when you move in for your for your move-in time. Flavia says, hey from Bolivia. Oh, hi. So that's incredible. That's awesome. After once you get here and you move in, be sure and follow the wayfinding signs and make sure to follow the maps that are on the UR housing website, the Move-In website. If you type in your hall into Google, it's going to take you a wonky route. So make sure and follow the routes that we provided you online. You're going to follow the signs into your law and the Move-In staff and the division. People will be there to help you get situated. You'll park, you'll go check in, you'll get your keys. You'll let them know if you're here and then you'll go move in all of your staff. We'll have so many volunteers here to assist and help you with Move-In.  We have dollies and we have carts available depending on the hall to help you. You can always check those out from us with your ID. You can have your student ID or your driver's license. But I also recommend you bring your own. So if your parents or friends or whoever have some dollies left over by chance, I would bring one with you so that you can move your stuff in even quicker. After you're done with moving in, you'll have to come move your car after 30 minutes. All students can go park in lot 56. That information is on the back of your hang tag as well. Parents, you will be able to move and park your car in the Garland garage or the Harmon parking garage. The top levels of those two locations. As long as you're gone by the end of the day, you shouldn't have any problems in those spots. Once we conclude with moving and we're done for the week, you'll be able to go back to your resident parking lot that you're normally supposed to park in for students. We got a question. Yeah. Someone asked, we got two moving tags. We drive smaller vehicles and we'll probably have three cars. What do you suggest we do about the third car? Okay, we recommend that you only bring two cars if possible. That's why we send two hang tags. If by chance you absolutely have to have a third one when you arrive, we'll have some extra hang tags for you that'll look kind of like the generic ones. Our RA staff will be there and they'll mark your name and the location all kind of for you right there and you'll be able to park that way. I definitely recommend trying to get as much as you can into two cars, because our lots are very big, but we got a lot of people moving in all at once. So try and be as concise as you can. And are students allowed to bring their pets with them? I wish you could, but you gotta leave your pets at home. If you have a need for an emotional support animal or a service animal, you can register them with the Center for Educational Access. They have a form on their website. I definitely recommend checking that out if that's something that you need, but you better leave your pets at home. Awesome. When you arrive and after you're done with moving, there's probably gonna be a lot of boxes, a lot of trash to kind of get rid of. Please make note, there's gonna be dumpsters located in all of the lots. So you'll have easy access to throw away all of your trash when you're done moving in. And then there's gonna be a specific spot just for cardboard. So we definitely wanna recycle and make sure we get that in the right location. Take all of that right to that spot. You'll see it, you won't be able to miss it when you move in on your arrival time. We recycle tons and tons and tons of cardboard. Yes, we recycle tons and we appreciate your help in making sure that that happens. I definitely recommend like get a good breakfast, get a good lunch depending on your arrival time, drink plenty of water. It's definitely gonna be a hot day. I mean, you're gonna need it and we just really appreciate you taking the time to prepare and to plan and to be here at your designated arrival time. Being too early sometimes will be a little tough. Being too late, it's a little tough. If you can just plan to get here right at your arrival time, that's the best option. That Goldilocks time, that's what we want right there. Yes. And shoes I think are something I'd recommend too. Not open shoes, open shoes to toes. No, open toe shoes, but closed toe shoes with a really good padding cause you'll be on your feet quite a bit. Yep. Most of our halls do have an elevator that you'll be able to help move your stuff in but some of them don't. So you might be going up some stairs depending at the hall that you're in. So you definitely want to dress comfortably ready to move your stuff when that time comes. We got a question. Someone asked, can we bring siblings to help with moving? Yeah, you can bring whoever's like in your car with you to move in. I definitely recommend bringing some extra help if you want. We try and keep families together and try and go up the elevator together when you can. We have lots of volunteers to help you as well but if you have some siblings or grandma and grandpa or whoever wants to come help you definitely can do that as well. Emily, you moved on campus a couple of years ago. What was your move in experience like? My mom and my dad drove up separately. I rode with my mom and we just split my stuff between the two cars and all of us worked for 30 minutes, worked really hard to move all my boxes, my mini fridge, my mattress topper all into my dorm. And it was a pretty easy process because the hall that I was in, I was on the first floor so I didn't have to lug myself up any stairs but it was a relatively easy process. There were a lot of volunteers and my second year that I lived on campus, I lived in Gregson and I moved in by myself but a lot of people were helping me move my stuff in, all the volunteers so I had a very positive experience. Thank you. Yeah, awesome. So once you're kind of finished with move in and you've moved your cars and you're kind of back you'll be able to kind of explore campus a little bit and I think that'll be awesome as soon as you get all moved in. Our residence halls will be open for you to eat at. There'll be different things you can kind of go check out make sure and go get your student ID on campus when you arrive. You don't already have that. Definitely take advantage of how busy it is and just getting to know campus, getting to know everybody in your residence hall that's definitely a super fun part about moving in. Who do you think will be moving in to campus first? Great question. I think our first group is actually gonna be right here at Reed and Maple West. We have a lot of women who have signed up for sorority recruitment and so they get to kind of move in first so that they're ready to go and prepare for recruitment that's later this week. So when they move in, they have kind of a unique route to go to so all my friends who are moving in to Reed and Maple West make sure and follow the map on your move in website because you'll come up kind of the back way take a service drive and then loop into the lot and it's a little different than Google. So make sure you check that out but I think our friends in Reed and Maple West are gonna move in first. Morgan asked, can families hang out and eat and explore for a bit? Yeah, as soon as you move your car at the end of your move in time, so you'll arrive and you have about 30 minutes to get all your stuff from your car into your residence hall, into your room and then you have to move your cars and we'll be calling you to make sure that you get your cars moved so that we have spaces open for the next folks kind of moving in. Once your cars get moved, you can kind of explore campus however you need to. There's definitely residential dining will be open, the union will be open. We also have a shuttle service, a golf cart shuttle service that will be driving around campus in different kind of loops. So if parents need a ride from the garage to the union, we can definitely make that happen. Just look for those shuttle signs that'll be located throughout campus and you'll just text the number, let them know where you're at and we'll come pick you up. But we definitely, yeah, hang out, get to know campus, enjoy your time with your student while you have it and just see what you evade about. It's more fable, true. Fable's a fun thing. There's a lot of good places to eat. Yes, there's tons of good places to eat, especially along Dixon Street, which is really close to campus, MLK Street has quite a few places as well. There's lots of good options. We're getting quite a few questions. Grant asks, does Maple South have an elevator? Maple South does have an elevator and Maple South will also have big carts that you can use and a few dollies, mostly carts I believe, but I definitely recommend if you have a dolly yourself or some other way to move stuff in, I bring it yourself as well. Someone asked, will I be able to park in my red lot reserved spot post-moving? Post-moving you will be, so that means at the end of the week. So we move in from Wednesday to Saturday and once movement officially ends around 6 p.m. on Saturday, you'll be able to move your car back to your resident reserve lot. I definitely recommend you do that on Saturday so that you can prevent getting a ticket or being in the wrong spot, depending on where you parked. Jordan asks, how soon can I get my parking pass for my car? Yeah, you can get your parking pass for your car now. You just have to go on the parking and transit website and fill in your information and order your pass that way. We don't have physical passes anymore, it's all through your license plate number and just kind of an electronic reader. You can do that at any time, it just won't be active until after movement starts. What you were given in the mail is just your arrival pass that allows you to get to your lot to move in. Someone asked, I may have missed this info. Do the car tags cover the garage parking fee for the day? Yeah, so the arrival passes, it's not for your, it's not necessarily a car pass, it's just to get you to move in and then if you're a student, you need a park in lot 56 or any green lot that's open to any student on campus and then parents can move into the Harman or the Garland Garages, the top three levels and it will cover it for that day until about five o'clock and then the car will have to be moved but that's only for parents and students.  All right, well, we're caught up on the questions. Awesome. I know that we use the email a lot so can you look at them? What kind of information do you know if they'll be seeing, I know the routes is one thing, they'll see what else will they be getting in their email? Yeah, you'll get an email, just another reminder about the route that you'll need to take when you arrive to campus. You'll get some emails about just reminders for checking and where you need to go. You'll get a reminder about your parking pass about how to purchase one. You'll get just all kinds of different information so make sure you're looking at your email and staying on top of it all this week actually. And can I bring a U-Haul? Oh, that's a great question. No, you cannot bring a U-Haul. You really need to bring everything, all of your stuff needs to fit into two vehicles of some sort. U-Hauls are way too big to fit in our lots and truthfully, there's not, these residence hall rooms are not big enough for the amount of stuff that would fit in a U-Haul so I definitely recommend leaving that at home.  So I do not recommend that. That also goes for trailers so not even like enclosed U-Hauls, like even trailers you can't have, everything needs to fit into a vehicle. That's a good point about maybe not overpacking too. We've got really all the stores that you would expect in our area between Rogers, Fayetteville, we've got Walmart, we've got Target, we've got a shopping center up in Rogers. You can find what you need here and once you're in the room you'll have a better sense of what you might need. Yeah, absolutely and there's a lot of information on our move-in website about what you should bring and what you could bring. Our York Housing Handbook has a lot of great resources as well but they're right, like you won't really know what you need till you get here so some of those things you're not sure about I definitely recommend waiting and then hitting the Target, hitting Walmart, we've got a lot of options here instead of packing it beforehand. Good thrift stores too. And good thrift stores, it's very true. We got a few questions, someone asked, if I have a Garland student parking pass can I park there on Friday? You can park there at the close of move-in so we have those floors, whatever it is, the levels of the parking garage, we have reserved for move-in for parents specifically so everybody will get to resume their regular parking pass capabilities at the end of move-in which will be Saturday evening which includes the garages, includes your normal resident reserve parking lot. Philip asks, I changed my move-in appointment to a few hours earlier on the same day. When will I get the new arrival pass?  We definitely have that information so we know you're coming but we're not gonna issue a new pass at this time. Jamie asks, if our move-in time is at 245 what time will we have to pay to park in Garland? I'm not sure I know how to answer that question. Can you repeat the question one more time? If our move-in time is at 245 what time will we have to pay to park in Garland?  But that's only for parents. Once again, if you're a student you'll arrive, you'll move in, and then you will have to go to a green lot which is lot 56 is the biggest one but any green lot on campus you'll be able to park in and the Garland garage for the duration of move-in is only for parents and students during the eight to five window. Paying overnight is an option but you'd have to move by the next day so that we're open for the next group of parents to arrive. Someone asks, when specifically does designated parking begin? Yeah, so that starts at the conclusion of move-in around five to six. Usually by the time the lot's closed so if everybody gets here and they get moved in and we run on time you'll know that it's okay to move your car back because you'll get a notice from your RA in your hall and the barricades that are in the lot will be lifted. So once the barricades are gone and you can actually move into the lot with your car that's how you know it's ready. From tomorrow until Saturday there will be barricades that won't allow you to move into that lot until you're actually moving in. Jennifer asks, if a late move-in time do parents still have to be out of the garage at five? If so, where can parents park after five? Yeah, I think they have to be out. I believe five o'clock is the time they need to be out. After five, parking does change a little bit around here. So you'll want to go to parking.ur.edu to look for parking that it's official university parking and they can give you the rules on that. Really, all that housing is involved in is red lots which are residential reserve lots and those are the only real no-nos otherwise it follows the general rules. Yep, absolutely. Someone asked, what are the items that you get in your dormitory and what are the items that we might need to buy for our rooms after moving in? Yeah, that's a really great question. I definitely recommend looking at our UARC move-in website. It's move-in.urc.edu and then go to your specific hall and there's some pictures for some of them where you can see what a room setup looks like. All of our residence halls are a little bit different. In general, there's usually some kind of storage for your clothing, whether that be in a dresser or in a closet. Sometimes there's both. Usually there's one or the other. There's a bed. A twin XL is always a great option to make sure that you have sheets that match that. And there's usually a desk and a chair as well. And often a lockable drawer. Yeah, some things that you might need, it definitely depends on the hall because some of your residence halls have community bathrooms, so you might need a good shower caddy to put all your stuff in. The shoes, the shower shoes. Shower shoes, some good cookpops for that. Some of you will just share a bathroom with one person or two people or three people, so that might look a little different for you. It's whatever you're most comfortable with. Some of you might be renting a microfridge, so that would be something that I definitely recommend that includes a microwave in your little miniature fridge. That's always nice to have for snacks and things of that nature. Bedding, what? Bedding. Bedding, yep, you need bedding. Mattress topper. Cheats, mattress topper, towels, maybe. I remember having a good trunk that could fit under my bed so that I could lock it up with my important things. I don't remember ever feeling the need to do that, but that was nice to have at the time. A good set of a bolt plastic bowl and plates if you do eat in your room. It's really whatever you need to feel comfortable, but again, all that resources are on our website and the housing handbook that is on the UR housing website has some great resources of things to bring and things not to bring. Oh, great, well, we're caught up on the questions. Great questions, yeah, good deal. Anything else you feel like we need to share with these folks before they arrive here in a day or two? I don't know, we're really excited to have you. I hope you're excited to come. We're really excited and ready to get you all here so we can start the year. My best advice right now is to just be as prepared as you can be, make sure you tag all of the stuff in your car, maybe with a sticky note that says what hall and what room you're going to so that your volunteers know exactly where to take it and you know what you have. I definitely recommend trying to be here right on time. We have a lot of people moving in so it's helpful if you come right as soon as your appointment is, your arrival time, try not to be too early, try not to be late, that really keeps us on schedule so that's my best advice right now. And if we have bad weather, we'll let him know. Yeah, if we have bad weather, which Arkansas weather can be a little goofy sometimes so if there is bad weather, make sure to check out our social media sites. That's where we'll be delivering that information of what might happen. If it is any kind of inclement weather, we might help move in, we might slow it down. You will always still be able to do what you need to do and move in if you need to but our staff will kind of wait until it becomes safe again for us to help. But all that information will be communicated through our social media. Before we sign off, we have a couple more questions. Tamara asks, when did you say you will get an email to buy a parking pass? The information for the parking passes is on the Transant Parking website. You can purchase a pass now, it's live and ready to go. You'll get an email later this week with a reminder to do that. You definitely wanna make sure you have your parking pass situation secured prior to Saturday because that's when the lots go back to normal and you'll wanna make sure that you're not gonna get ticketed and that you're parking in the right spot. But you can go on the website, the Transant website and purchase your pass now if you'd like. And Mel asks, is there a check-in location at each hall? Yeah, there is. So when you pull into your specific parking lot, there's gonna be somebody greeting you right at the beginning and they'll kind of lead the way. Each of our parking lots have kind of a different route, a different kind of way to go, but they'll general guide you to a parking spot and then they'll point you in the direction of a key tent. They're all kind of in different spots at each hall and then that's where you'll check in, get your key and then move in from there. And someone asks, the campus ID office will be open on Saturday for out-of-state students to pick up their ID for move-in, right? Those exact hours, yeah, for those exact hours, be sure and go to the campus ID website. The best way to find anything is to Google it and go UARC, UARK and then whatever you're looking for. So UARC Student ID and then it'll probably lead you right to the Student ID campus office. I do that all the time, Google that way. We're getting a lot of questions about IDs. People are asking, do we pick up our student ID upon check-in or do we need to get the student ID prior to move-in? You don't have to have it prior to move-in. You'll need your driver's license to be able to check out a dolly or a cart and to get your key to check-in. You can get your student ID at any time after that if you need to. It's not a requirement, but it's nice to have it. All right, well, do you wanna sign us off? Awesome, well, thank you for all your great questions. We are so excited to have you. I can't wait to see you later this week. If you have any other questions, feel free to check out our website or social media or send us an email as well. How do they send us an email? At housing.urk.edu. All right, awesome, bye.


I'm often asked the difference between Azure Migrate and Azure Site Recovery. For me, Azure Migrate is the hub for customers looking to migrate their workloads. So if you're looking to migrate your servers into Azure, you can use Azure Migrate. If you're looking to migrate your web apps into Azure, you can do that as well. There are other capabilities within Azure Migrate. It really is that one-stop-shop if you're looking to migrate into Azure. Azure Site Recovery is slightly different as it's the disaster recovery too. So it helps you protect your workloads either on-prem or already in Azure from something really major happening on your primary site and enabling you to spin up that secondary site so that you do not lose any availability of your workloads. So there are different things for different things. The Azure Migrate allows you to migrate, and Azure Site Recovery allows you to protect and defend your workloads from something happening.

Arjuna, Lord of the men who serve thee, true in heart as God revealed, and of the men who serve worshipping thee unrevealed, unbodied, far, which take the better way of faith and life. Krishna, whoever serve me, as I show myself, constantly true in full devotion fixed, these hold I very holy. But who serve worshipping me the one, the invisible, the unrevealed, unnamed, unthinkable, uttermost, all pervading, highest sure, who thus adore me, mastering their sense of one set mind to all, glad in all good. These blessed souls come unto me, yet hard the travail is for who so bend their minds to reach the unmanifest, that viewless path shall scarce be trod by man bearing his flesh. But where so any doeth all his deeds, renouncing self in me, full of me, fixed to serve only the highest night and day, musing on me, him will I swiftly lift forth from life's ocean of distress and death. Whose soul clings fast to me, cling thou to me, class me with heart and mind, so shalt thou dwell surely with me on high. But if thy thought droops from such height, if thou beest weak to set body and soul upon me constantly, despair not, give me lower service, seek to read me, worshipping with steadfast will, and if thou canst not worship steadfastly, work for me, toil in works pleasing to me, for he that labrith right for love of me shall finally attain. But if in this thy faint heart fails, bring me thy failure, find refuge in me, let fruits of labour go, renouncing all for me, with lowliest heart, so shalt thou come, for though to know is more than diligence, yet worship better is than knowing, and renouncing better still, near to renunciation, very near dwelleth eternal peace, who hatheth not of all which lives, living himself benign, compassionate from arrogance exempt, exempt from love of self, unchangeable by good or ill, patient, contented, firm in faith, mastering himself, true to his word, seeking me, heart and soul, vowed unto me that man I love, who troubleth not his kind, and is not troubled by them, clear of wrath, living too high for gladness, grief or fear, that man I love, who dwelling quiet-eyed, stainless serene, well-balanced, unperplexed, working with me, yet from all works detached, that man I love, who, fixed in faith on me, dotes upon none, scorns none, rejoices not and grieves not, letting good and evil hap, light when it will, and when it will depart, that man I love, who unto friend and foe, keeping an equal heart with equal mind, bears shame and glory with an equal peace, takes heat and cold, pleasure and pain, abides, quit of desires, hears praise or calamity in passionless restraint, unmoved by each, linked by no ties to earth, steadfast in me, that man I love, but most of all I love those happy ones, to whom tis life to live in single, fervid faith and love unseeing, eating the blessed amrit of my being.

Know thou that nature and the spirit both have no beginning. Know that qualities and changes of them are by nature wrought. The nature puts to work the acting frame. But spirit does inform it. And so cause feeling of pain and pleasure. Spirit linked to moulded matter entered into bond with qualities by nature framed. And thus married to matter. Breach the birth again in good or evil yonies. Yet is this a in its bodily prison. Spirit pure. Spirit supreme. Surveying. Governing. Guarding. Possessing. Lord and master.

Whatever flesh he bears never again shall he take on its load. Some few there be by meditation find the soul in self. Self-school. And some by long philosophy. And holy life reached thither. Some by words. Some never so attaining. Here a flight from other lips and seas. And cleave to eat. Worshipping. A. And those to teaching through over past death. Wherever Indian prince life is of moving things or things unknown. Plant or still seed. Know what is there have grown by bond of matter and spirit. Know he sees indeed who sees in all alike. The living. Lordly soul. The soul supreme. Imperishable amid the perishing. For whoso thus beholds in every place in every form the same. One living Lord. Death no more wrongfulness unto himself. But goes the highest road which brings to bliss. Seeing he sees indeed who sees that verse or nature's own. For soul to use not love. Acting yet not the actor. He sees the mass of separate living things. Each of his kind. Issue from one and blend again to one. Then had he Brahma. He attains. O Prince. That ultimate high spirit uncreate. Unqualified. Even when it entered flesh. Take at no stain of acts. Work at in not. Light to the ethereal air. Pervading all which for sheer subtlety. Avoid at taint. The subtle soul sits everywhere. Unstained. Like to the light of all piercing sun. Which is not changed by art. It shines upon. The soul's light shine through in every place. And they who by such eye of wisdom see. How matter and God deals with it. Divide. And how the spirit and the flesh have strive. These wise ones go the way which leads to life. Here in the chapter. Of the Bhagavad Gita. Entitled.

Suffer change. This universe. The womb is where I plant seed of all lives. Then Prince of India comes births to all beings. Husso. Unthi son. Mothers each mortal form. Ramma conceives. And I am he that fathers sending seed. Satvan. Rajas. And Thomas. So are named the qualities of nature. Soot fastness. Passion and ignorance. These three bind down the changeless spirit in the changeful flesh. Whereof sweet soot fastness by purity living and solid and enlightened. Binds the sinless soul to happiness and truth. And passion being keen to appetite and breathing impulse and propensity. Binds the embodied soul. O Kunti son. By tie of works. But ignorance. The child of darkness. Blinding mortal men. Binds down their souls to stupor, sloth and drowsiness. A Prince of India. Soot fastness. Binds souls in pleasant vice to flesh. And passion binds by toilsome strain. But ignorance which plots the beams of wisdom. Binds the soul to sloth. Passion and ignorance. Once overcome. Leave soot fastness. O Bharata. Wear this with ignorance or absent. Passion rules. And ignorance in hearts. Not good. Not quick. Then at all gateways of the body shrines. The lamp of knowledge. Then may one see well. Soot fastness settled in that city range. Where longing is. And ardour and unrest. Impulse to strive and gain. And avarice. Those spring from passion. Prince and grain. And where darkness and dullness. Sloth and stupor are. Its ignorance had cost them. Kuru chief. Moreover, when a soul departed. Fixed in soot fastness. It goeth to the place. Perfect and pure. Of those that know all truth. If it departed in set habit you of impulse. It shall go into the world of spirits. Try to work. And if it dies in hardened ignorance. That blinded soul is born a new in some. Unlighted home. The fruit of soot fastness is true and sweet. The fruit of lust is pain and toy. The fruit of ignorance is deeper darkness. A. For light brings light.  Blindness. Builderments. And ignorance. Grow forth from ignorance. Those of the first rise ever higher. Those of the second mode take a mid place. The darkened soul sink back to lower deeps. Loaded with witlessness. When watching life. The living man perceives. The only actors or the qualities. Who knows what lives beyond the qualities. Then is he come nigh unto me. The soul thus passing forth from the three qualities. Whereof arise all bodies, Overcomes birth, death, sorrow, and age. And drinketh deep the undying point of amrits. Arjuna. O my lord. Which be the signs to know him That hath gone past the three modes. How liveeth he? What will leadeth him safe beyond the three-four modes? Krishna. He who with equanimity surveys Luster of goodness, strife of passion, Sloth of ignorance. Not angry if they are. Not angry when they are not. He who sits, a sojourner, And stranger in their midst. Unruffled, standing off, Saying, serving, and troubles break. These are the qualities. He unto whom, self-centered, Grief and joy sound as one word. To whose deep-seeing eyes The cloud, the marble, and the gold are won. Whose equal heart holds the same gentleness For lovely and unloy things, Firm set, well-pleased in praise and despise. Satisfied with honor or dishonor, Unto friends and unto foes, Alike in tolerance, Detached from undertakings, He is named surmountor of the qualities. And search with single fervent faith, Alluring me, passing beyond the qualities, Conforms to Brahma and attains me. For I am that whereof Brahma is the likeness. Mine, the Amrit is, and immortality is mine, And mine perfect felicity.

Ramina, 45, at heartmail.com Recording by Shubhda Garani The Bhagavad Gita, Translated by Sir Edwin Arnold, Chapter 15 Of Religion by Attaining the Supreme. Krishna Men call the Ashwatha, The banyan tree, Which hath its boughs beneath, Its roots on high, The ever holy tree. Ye for its leaves are green And waving hymns, Which whisper truth, Who knoweth well the Ashwatha knows all. Its branches shoot to heaven And sink to earth, Even as the deeds of men Which take their birth From qualities. Its silver sprays and blooms And all the eager Verdu of its girth Leap to quick life At touch of sun and air, As men's lives Quicken to the tempting sphere Of wooing sense. Its hanging rootlets Seek the soil beneath Helping to hold it there. As actions wrought Amid this world of men Bind them by ever tightening Bonds again. If ye knew well The teaching of the tree, What its shape saith And whence it springs And then how it must end And all the ills of it The acts of sharp detachment Ye would wet And cleave the clinging Snakey roots And lay this Ashwatha Of sense like low To set new growths Upspringing to that happier sky Which They who reach Shall have no day to die Nor fade away nor fall To him I mean Father in first Who made the mystery Of old creation For to him come day From passion and from dreams Who break away Who part the bonds Constraining them to flesh And him, the highest Were shipping away No longer grow at mercy Of what breeze of summer pleasure Sturs the sleeping trees What blast of tempest Tears them bow and stem To the eternal world Pass such as these Another sun gleams there Another moon Another light A light which none shall lack Whose eyes once see For those return no more They have attained My utter most abode When in this world Of manifested life The undying spirit Setting forth from me Taketh on form It draweth to itself From being's storehouse Which containeth all Senses and intellect The sovereign soul Thus entering the flesh Or quitting it Gathers these up As the wind gathers sense Blowing above the flower banks Ear and eye And touch and taste And smelling These it takes And a sentient mind Linking itself To sense things so The unenlightened ones Mark not that spirit When he goes or comes Nor when he takes his pleasure In the form conjoined With qualities But those see plain Who have the eyes to see The holy souls see Which strive thereto Enlightened They behold that spirit In themselves But foolish ones Even though they strive Discern not Having hearts Unkindled, ill-informed No too from me Shineeth the gathered glory Of the sun Which lightens all the world Then draws silvery beams And fire fears loveliness I penetrate the clay And lend all shapes Their living force I glide into the plant Its root leaf bloom To make the woodland Green with springing sap Becoming vital warmth I glow in glad Respiring frames And pass with outward And with inward breath To feed the body With all needs For in this world Being is twofold The divided one The undivided one All things that live Are the divided That which sits apart The undivided Higher still is one The highest Holding all whose name is lord The eternal sovereign first Who fills all worlds Sustaining them And dwelling thus Beyond divided life And undivided I am called Of men and Vedas God supreme The purushottama Who knows me thus With mind unclouded Knoweth all, dear prince And with his whole soul Ever worshipeth me Now is the sacred secret mystery Declared to thee Who comprehended this Hath wisdom He is quit of works and bliss Here ends Chapter 15 Of the Bhagavad Gita Entitled

Of religion by the three-fold kinds of faith Arjuna If men forsake the holy ordinance Heedless of Shastras Yet keep faith at heart And worship What shall be the state of those Great Krishna Satvan Rajas Thomas Krishna Threefold the faith is of mankind And springs from those three qualities Or passion stained Or dark as thou shalt hear The faith of each believer Indian Prince Confirms itself to what he truly is Where thou shalt see a worshipper That one To what he worships Lives assimilate Such as the shrine, so is the rotary The soothfast souls Adore true gods The souls obeying Rajas worship Rajasas Or Yaksas And the men of darkness pray To Prethas and to Bhutas A. And those who practice Bitter penance Not enjoined by rightful root Penance which hath its root In self-sufficient proud hypocrisies Those men Passion beset Violent, wild Torturing the pitless ones My elements shut in fire company Within their flesh Me myself present within the flesh Know them to devils devoted Not to heaven For like as foods are Threefold for mankind in nourishing So is their threefold way of worship Abstainence and arms giving Here this of me There is a food which brings Force, substance, strength And health and joy to live Being well seasoned Cordial comforting Soothfast meat And there been foods Which bring aches and unrest And burning blood and grief Being too biting, Heating, salt and sharp And therefore craved by too strong appetite And there is foul food Kept from overnight Saverless, filthy Which the foul will eat A feast of rottenness Meat for the lips Of such as love the darkness Thus with rites A sacrifice not for Rewardment made Offered in rightful wise When he who vows Sayeth with heart devout This I should do Is soothfast rite But sacrifice for gain Offered for good repute Be sure that this O best of Bharatas is Rajas rite With stamp of passion With no due door of forgiving With no accompaniment of Hollowed hymn Nor larges to the priests In faithless celebration Call it while The deed of darkness last Worship of Gods Meriting worship Lowly reverence of twice bombs Teachers, purity, rectitude And the brahmacharyas bow And not endure any helpless thing These make a true religiousness Of act Words causing no man war Words ever true Gentle and pleasing words And those they say In murmured reading of sacred rite These make the true religiousness Of speech Serenity of soul, benignity Sway of the silent spirit Constant stress To sanctify the nature These things make good rite And true religiousness of mind In highest piety Kept with no hope of gain By heart's devotee Is perfect work of sattvan True belief Religion shown in act of proud display To win good entertainment, worship, fame Such say I Is of Rajas, trash and vain Religion Followed by a witless will To torch herself For come at power to hurt another Sattvamas, dark and ill Lovingly given, when one shall say Now must I gladly give When he who takes Can render nothing back Made in due place, due time And to a neat recipient Is gift of sattvan Fair and profitable The gift selfishly given Where to receive is hoped again For when some end is sought Or where the gift is preferred With a grudge This is of Rajas, stained with impulse Ill The gift selfishly fun At evil time In wrongful place To base recipient made in disdain Or harsh unkindliness Is gift of sattvamas, dark It doth not bless Here end of Chapter 17 Of the Bhagavad Gita Entitled

better know, thou glorious one, The very truth Hearts Lord of Sannyas Abstention and renunciation Lord Tia and what separates these Twain Krishna The poets rightly teach that Sannyas is the foregoing Of all acts which spring Out of desire And their wisest say Is renouncing fruit of acts There be among the saints Some who have held All actions sinful And to be renounced And some who answer Nay, the goodly acts As worship, penance, alms Must be performed Here now my sentence Best of Bharatas Tis well set forth O chaser of thy foes Renunciation is of three-fold form The worship, penance, alms Not to be stayed Nay, to be gladly done For all those three are Purifying waters for true souls Yet must be practiced Even those high works In yielding up attachment And all fruit produced by works This is my judgment, Prince This my insuperable And fixed decree Abstaining from a work By right prescribed Never is meat So to abstain doth spring From darkness And delusion teacheth it Abstaining from a work Grievous to flesh When one saith Tis unpleasing This is null Such in one acts from passion Not of gain Wins his renunciation But Arjun, abstaining from Attachment to the work With it full faithfully Saying Tis right to do That is true act In abstinence Who doeth duty so Unvext if his work fail If it succeed unflattered In his own heart justified Quit of debates and doubts His is true act For being in the body None may stand Holy aloof from act Yet who abstains From profit of his acts Is abstinent The fruit of labours And the lives to come Is threefold for all men Desirable and undesirable And mixed of both But no fruit is at all Where no work was Here from me long-armed lord The makings five Which go to every act In Sankya taught as necessary First the force And then the agent Next the various instruments Fourth the special effort Fifth the God What works, however, Any mortal doth Of body, mind, or speech Evil or good By these five doth he that Which being thus Whoso for lack of knowledge Seeeth himself as the sole actor Knoweth not at all And seeeth not Therefore I say If one, holding aloof from self With unstained mind Should slay all yonder host Being bid to slay He doth not slay He is not bound thereby Knowledge, the thing known And the mind which knows These make the threefold Starting ground of act The act, the actor, and the instrument These make the threefold Total of the deed But knowledge, agent, act Are differenced by three Dividing qualities Here now which be the qualities Dividing them There is true knowledge Learn thou it is this To see one changeless life In all the lives And in the separate One inseparable There is imperfect knowledge That which sees the separate Existences apart And being separated Holds them real There is false knowledge That which blindly clings to one As if to her all Seeking no cause Deprived of light, narrow And dull and dark There is right action That which being enjoined Is wrought without attachment Passionlessly For duty Not for love Nor hate, nor gain There is vain action That which men pursue Aking to satisfy desires Impilled by sense of self With all absorbing stress This is of rajas Passionate and vain There is dark action When one doth a thing Heedless of issues Heedless of the hurt Or wrong for others Heedless if he harm his own soul Tis of tamas Black and bad There is the rightful doer He who acts free From self-seeking, humble Resolute, steadfast In good or evil Have the same Content to do a right He truly acts There is the impassioned doer He that works from impulse Seeking profit Rude and bold to overcome Unchastened Slave by turns of sorrow And of joy Of rajas he And there be evildoers Loose of heart Low-minded, stubborn Fraudulent, remiss Dull, slow, despondent Children of the dark Here too Of intellect and steadfastness The threefold separation Conqueror Prince How these are set apart by qualities Good is the intellect Which comprehends the coming forth And going back of life What must be done And what must not be done What should be feared And what should not be feared What binds and what emancipates the soul That is of satwan Prince of soothe fastness Marred is the intellect Which knowing right And knowing wrong And what is well to do And what must not be done Yet understands not with firm mind Nor as the calm truth is This is of rajas Prince and passionate Evil is intellect Which wrapped in gloom Looks upon wrong as right And sees all things Contrary-wise of truth O Preta's son That is of Thomas Dark and desperate Good is the steadfastness Whereby a man masters His beats of heart His very breath of life The action of his senses Fixed in never-shaken faith And piety That is of satwan Prince soothe fast And fair Stained is the steadfastness Whereby a man holds to his duty Purpose, effort, end For life's sake And the love of goods to gain Arjuna Tis of rajas Passion stamped Sad is the steadfastness Wherewith the fool cleaves To his sloths, his sorrow And his fears, his folly And despair This, Preta's son, is born Of Thomas, dark And miserable Hear further, chief of Bartas, from me The threefold kinds of pleasure Which there be Good pleasure Is the pleasure that endures Banishing pain for I Bitter at first as poison to the soul But afterwards sweet as the taste of omrit Drink of that It springeth in the spirit's deep content And painful pleasure springeth From the bond between the senses And the sense world Sweet as omrit is its first taste But its last, bitter as poison Tis of rajas, Prince And foul and dark The pleasure is Which springs from sloth and sin And foolishness At first and at the last And all the way of life The soul bewildering Tis of Thomas, Prince For nothing lives on earth Nor midst the gods In utmost heaven But hath its being bound With these three qualities By nature framed The work of Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, And Sudras, O thou slayer Of thy foes, is fixed By reason of the qualities planted In each.  A Kshatriyas pride Born of his nature Lives in valor, fire, Constancy, skillfulness, Spirit and fight, And open-handedness And noble mean, As of a lord of men. A Vaishyas task Born with his nature Is to till the ground, Tin cattle, venture trade, A Sudras state Suiting his nature Is to minister. Whoso performeth Diligent, content The work allotted him Whatever it be Lays hold of perfectness Here how a man Findeth perfection Being so content He findeth it through worship Wrought by work Of him that is the source Of him by whom the universe Was stretched. Better thine own work is Though done with fault Than doing others work Even excellently. He shall not fall in sin Who fronts the task set him By nature's hand. Let no man leave His natural duty prints Though it bear blame. For every work hath blame As every flame is wrapped By smoke. Only that man attains Perfect surses of work Whose work was wrought With mind unfettered, Soul wholly subdued, Desires forever dead, Results renounced. Learn from me, son of Kunti, Also this How one attaining Perfect peace Attains Brahm, the supreme, The highest height of all. Dwelled with a heart-grown pure, Restrained in lordly self-control, Forgoing wiles of song and senses, Freed from love and hate, Dwelling mid-solitudes, In diet spare, With body, speech, and will, Tamed to obey, Ever to holy meditation vowed, From passions liberate, Quit of the self, Of arrogance, in patience, Anger, pride, And love. Anger, pride, Freed from surroundings, Quiet, lacking not. Such and one grows to oneness With the Brahm.  This same love and worship Doth he know me as I am, How high and wonderful, And knowing straightway enters into me. And whatsoever deeds he doeth Fixed in me as in his refuge, He hath won, For ever and for ever, By my grace, the eternal rest. So win thou, In thy thoughts Do all thou dost for me, Renounce for me, Sacrifice heart and mind And will to me. Live in the faith of me. In faith of me All dangers thou shalt Vanquish by my grace. But trusting to thyself And heeding not, Thou canst but perish. If this day thou sayest, Relying on thyself, I will not fight. Vein will the purpose prove. Thy qualities would spur thee To the war. What thou dost shun Misled by fair illusions, Thou wouldest seek Against thy will, When the task comes to thee, Waking the promptings In thy nature set. There lives a master In the hearts of men, Makeeth their deeds By subtle pulling-strings, Dance to what tune he will. With all thy soul Trust him, and take him For thy succor prints. So, only so, Arjuna, Shall thou gain By grace of him The uttermost repose, The eternal place. Thus hath been Open thee, this truth Of truths. This truth of truths, The mystery more hid Than any secret mystery. Meditate, and, Thou wilt, then act. Nay, but once more, Take my last word, My utmost meaning have. Precious thou art to me, Bright well beloved. Listen, I tell thee For thy comfort, this. Give me thy heart, Adore me, Serve me, Cling and faith and love And reverence to me. So shall thou come to me. I promise true For thou art sweet to me. And let go, those Rights and writ duties. Fly to me alone. Make me thy single refuge. I will free thy soul From all its sins. Be of good cheer. Hide, the Holy Krishna Sayeth, This from him that hath No faith, Him that worships not, Wisdom's teaching when she speaks. Hide it from all men who mock. But wherever Mid the flock of my lovers One shall teach This divinest wisest speech Teaching in the faith To bring truth to them And offering of all honour unto me, Unto Brahma, Kamithi. Nay, and nowhere shall you find Any man of all mankind Doing dearer deed for me. Nor shall any dearer be In my earth. Nay, furthermore, Whoso reads this converse Or held by us upon the plain, Pondering piously in vain, He hath paid me sacrifice. Krishna, speaketh in this wise. Nay, and whoso Full of faith Heareth wisely what it sayeth, Heareth meekly. When he dies, When he dies, Surely shall his spirit rise To those regions where the Blessed, free of flesh, Enjoyance rest.  Arjunah.  Now am I fixed, My doubt is fled away According to thy word, So will I do. Sanjaya. Thus gathered I The gracious speech of Krishna, O my King, Thus have I told With heart a thrill This wise and wondrous thing. By great Vyasa's How Krishna's self made known, The yoga being Yoga's Lord. So is the high truth shown. And I, when I remember, O Lord, my King, Again Arjunah And the God in talk, And all this holy strain, Great is my gladness. When I muse that Splendour passing speech Of Hari, visible In plain, there is no Tung to reach my marble And my love and bliss. O archer-prince, All hail, O Krishna, Lord of yoga, Surely there shall not fail Blessing and victory And power for thy most Mighty sake, Where this song comes of Arjun And how with God He spake.

My name is Luis Garcia Barrios. I'm from Mexico and I work at El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, which is a multi-disciplinary research center. And this game was developed as part of a bigger project that we have in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, working with farmers in the buffer zone of our reserve, our biological reserve. So the game was developed looking at problems related with common pool resources, land stewardship, conservation related with social dilemmas in managing the land. So here we have a board which represents 48 hectares of pristine forested land. People will colonize that land with three land uses.  The game is about making a livelihood. You are four young farmers who live in a community and you will receive land from your elders. You will confront two kinds of limitations. The first ones are environmental. Then the limits, yeah. And the other is social. In a first session of game, people have to, they live in a moral economy. Everybody must make 24 points or everybody loses. So a lot of cooperation and solidarity is in place. After that, there's a second level where the rule is now no moral economy, every woman, every man for himself. And the government will give incentives to direct certain kinds of land uses. Like, I'll give you some money if you conserve, I'll give you some money if you produce a lot of cattle. And that totally changes the interaction dynamics between players. And then people reflect about what change and why. I was a bit aggressive initially and colonizing, but it was much easier position for me because I was able to give it much better than begging for others. What you have to do is allow other people to help manage your business. Because if you don't allow other people to give you advice, then you can't make the right decision. Do you get the general purpose of the game? Yes. What is the game about? It's all about cooperating and helping each other. The most important role of this game is for people to reflect upon not something that is distant from them, but upon their own experience after playing. So it's reflecting about the environment, how to make a livelihood, and the cooperation and coordination dilemmas that we all confront. It's played by farmers, and then it's the real situation, or it's played by academics who are working with farmers. That's one part, like social learning, multi-actor, experiencing learning. The other purpose is part of the same thing, but it's more about research. It's what we call social experiments. We put the setting, people play, we take data, we analyze the behavior of people, and then we give back this information to people who play it, be they academics or farmers. When we play these two levels, first a moral economy and norms set by the elder, people have to cooperate, and they achieve the purpose. But when in a new setting, moral economy is optional, but everybody can say, okay, every man for himself, and using the land in a way depends on external incentives, then there's a big change in behavior. And the most interesting thing we found is that farmers tend to be competitive, but they will be more interested in keeping moral economy. They will not so easily break that rule. Academics, not everybody, but some academics, what they do is they say, hey, let's create a new situation. Why don't you die, I take over your land, I make all those profits from incentives, and then we share. It looks like a win-win situation, but only in the short term, because the person who dies and loses, well, he has less land, his family has less land. So it's a kind of land grabbing situation where the more powerful, the more skillful, the one who has some advantage, the advantage edge, will make a proposition to the less powerful, the more poor, and they will collude, and that's something that happens in society.


We are a civic organization that is really involved in our community and we just really want to get out there and make things better for the people who live in our community. The Women's Club is really good for being involved in domestic violence awareness fundraisers so we do a lot of fundraising. We do Relay for Life and we're active in the scholarships and education in our community so we're just a jack of all trades.


Today, we're gonna make us a rack of ribs. Let me wash that off. Now, I hear a lot of people saying that a binder, you really can't taste this, just to get the seasoning to stick. Well, I disagree. If you use Sriracha, you can definitely taste it. Then we reach down on our hip. This is the Dano Chipotle. If you haven't tried it yet, you can find it on Amazon or my website. Soon we'll be in retailers.  Seriously, you guys, that's all the salt in our bottle. No sugar, no chemicals. It's all real ingredients, so we can be very aggressive with it. We're gonna add some Danos crunchy to the top. I've been putting this on everything. It just adds a little extra flavor profile. Let's go throw it on our grill of smoker. We're gonna give it three hours, then we're gonna wrap it. It's been three hours, and they're smelling dantastic. Let's go wrap them up. Meat side down. I use the beer syrup. I'm gonna pour it right on top, and then some down on the bottom. Simply wrap this bad boy up, and back on we go for two more hours. All right, it's been two hours. Let's sit for an hour. Oh, look at that. It's sticky. I know everybody says, oh, I make the best ribs, and these are the best ribs you ever have. Well, these are the best ribs I've ever made. Not even lying. That is amazing, y'all. Yum, yum, get you some.


Although there are many aspects of Cappadocia, in which we have touched upon in the past, mentioned its apparent incredible antiquity and, to some degree, investigated and explored some hand-picked sections of this incredible site's numerous anomalous features. However, there also exists, although considerably lesser-shared, an equally enigmatic yet seemingly additional hidden past, a fascinating area of study which we feel requires far more in-depth study. Cappadocia is seemingly home to more than one very ancient, now lost civilization littered with seemingly prehistoric ruins, treasures of antiquity invaluable in our ongoing attempts at understanding our distant past. During the following synopsis, we intend to put forward sufficient evidence to suggest that not just one advanced, now lost civilization once called this place home, but that the site was once home to more than one extremely ancient, yet extremely well-preserved legacies from what we recognize as ruins left by varying civilizations. We feel that due to the site's location, it has, predictably, yet we presume reluctantly undergone substantial academic explorations, most possibly to create a permitted chronology, whether accurate or not, for the history of the site. With a rarely experienced buzz within mainstream circles, surrounding futile attempts accompanied with supposed explorations and explanations for many of these still visually stunning yet utterly puzzling sites. Even with an alternative opinion regarding the site, however, one we often conclude to be logical-grounded, accompanied by many examples of incredible artistic abilities, comparatively impossible to have achieved with the tools accessible to the academically-claimed builders. One often senses that many funded, obedient academics find themselves considerably out of their depth when it comes to producing a solid intellectual explanation for the many anomalies we highlight. Encountering almost impossible tasks in producing logical explanations for not only capidoshes, almost inconceivably huge labyrinths of underground complexes, some so large, they are classified as underground cities. Each and all hewn direct from solid bedrocks, some to considerable depths, now understood to plummet hundreds of feet into the rock of Earth's mantle. The more impossible this task seems to become. The challenges involved in explaining, and most crucially demonstrating, how these mazes of tunnels and passageways were created and in addition secured. These ancient builders somehow utilizing enormous rolling stones that modern man would find to be a considerable and extremely effective obstacle, once painstakingly carved, transported and placed into their purpose-built ruts, somehow becoming a working blocking mechanism, which to this day we still don't fully understand how they work them, or even manage to unravel any logical technique possibly once used to utilize these incredible blocking stones. However, as previously mentioned, it is not just these incredibly ancient underground labyrinths which make capidoshia one of antiquities least understood yet clearly one of the most important ancient locations on Earth. There are many other parts of this enormous ancient wonder that many people are predictably little aware of, and the reason for this may soon become apparent. Although underground layers such as that of Derinkuyu have an appearance akin to the Neolithic Age, in other words displaying the scars of relics which are unimaginably old, although located in the open air and at the mercy of the far more rapid erosion triggered by weathering the site, and also display sections which show advanced stone cutting technologies, absent the tunnels, and was clearly created at a much more recent date, which unlike the sites which display extremely ancient ages, namely the underground cities, are seemingly from a vastly different time in antiquity. Hopefully as the evidence and knowledge regarding said sites grows, we will hopefully one day fully decipher the mysteries of not only capidoshia but our own past as a whole. It is a subject which we find highly compelling.


Today I have the pleasure speaking with Tom Meredith of West Red Lake Gold. How are you today, Tom? I'm well, thanks. How are you? I'm very good. I've had so many phone calls about West Red Lake Gold and how I need to get involved in it and I think it has to do with the resource. So for everybody out there interested in gold, can you start by giving us a good overview? Sure. The properties in Red Lake, close to Gold Corp, where Gold Corp was first founded and created much of its wealth for shareholders, Gold Corp is also a partner of ours in the project and we have three former producing mines on the property and at one of the mine sites we have a 1.1 million ounce resource and we're building from there. So I think in reviewing the West Red Lake, in addition to Gold Corp being a partner, how much do they own? They own 40% of the property and we own 60% and we are the operator. Of course, in doing the research, looks like there's a tremendous potential for an increase in this resource, can you talk a little bit about that? We see very good potential to increase the resource primarily to depth where the current resource is which is 1.1 million ounces and we have a plan to try and double that over the next two or three couple of years with some drilling programs. So Tom, of course, what's interesting about West Red Lake is that you have an incredible management team and you have an incredible background for doing deals in the gold industry. Can you give us a little bit of an overview of your background? Well I started in the industry about 30 years ago actually working with my uncle who would come back from Switzerland. He was a partner with Adolf Lundin in Switzerland, came back to Toronto and I learned the industry there and more recently I got involved in a company called VG Gold which was a similar condition to West Red Lake. It was a company that needed some help, had some good projects and we spent some money, invested some money in building a resource from about 60,000 ounces to a little over 2 million ounces. We took it from a 3 million market cap to 200 million market cap wherein it was taken over and our shareholders did well and they made good returns on that project. And of course that's something that you're well known for in the industry which is building shareholder value. So how do you plan on doing this with West Red Lake? We're going to do essentially the same thing. We're going to build the resource and in February we put out the initial resource of just over 1.1 million ounces of 7.6 grams. We see good potential to build that resource to 2 million ounces as our next step. We think the property has a lot more gold on it. So while we're building ounces the other thing we see happening is the actual revaluation of ounces in the ground from what would be a relatively low value upwards to a much higher value which we see in stronger bull markets. So right now our pro-rata share of the ounces, we have 60%, our pro-rata share of valuation is about $25 an ounce giving a full value of $40 an ounce for Gold Corp. share and in previous bull markets the ounces in Red Lake have been valued at $200. So we could see up to five times revaluation just in the market revaluing junior mining companies which obviously have been beaten down very badly and now starting to return back to form. The other thing we'll do is we'll build the resource and we can build the resource at a very low cost per ounce relative to value. So we're going to do both things, get revaluation and build the resource. And you've got three past producing mines in this project. Yes, we're focusing on the one in the center called the Rowan Mine. That's where the 1.1 million ounce resource is and we see that one as the easiest one to expand. And then next to that about a kilometer further to the east there's another interesting target which we call the structural intersection where there's very significant exploration potential which is where Gold Corp is most interested. And of course you have a track record of building exploration plays into acquisition targets. Can you tell us what we as shareholders should anticipate in the next couple of quarters? Well the next couple of quarters it'll primarily be drilling. We look at this sort of a project as a sort of a two to three year project to get it to a stage where there might be an acquisition and during the course of that time frame we can build a lot of value. So right now we have a 25 million market cap. If we could make that market cap several times higher over the next two to three years for the work we're doing and then get acquired we've done a good thing for our shareholders that are going to make great returns. And of course with your current estimates your market valuation is substantially lower than it should be. Well I mean one could argue that under today's market conditions we're fairly valued but what we see is a revaluation coming because the industry is undervalued right now and we think it will return to better values and also we can expand the size of the resource and we can upgrade the resource. So all of those things as well as start preliminary permitting work do preliminary economic studies so all of those layers of development in a rising market is going to give our shareholders a lot of leverage in our share price. You arguably know the gold industry better than many of the so-called gold experts so I'm going to ask you what's happening with the gold market right now and where do you see it heading here in the end of 2016. Well I'm going to give a broader answer to it first which is the gold market is being driven by the change in interest rates so interest rates we have declining interest rates we have negative real interest rates so when you have a combination of declining rates and negative real interest rates then you have money flowing in the gold and the interest rate market with a bond market is much larger than the gold market and that money is looking for somewhere to go and it's going to bring a lot of leverage in the gold market we're starting to see that now so by the end of this year we could I'd be surprised if we weren't above 1400 and 1500 I think is reasonable I would say two three four years out $2,500 $3,000 or more is a reasonable estimate. Well Tom thank you so much for joining us today. Oh thank you very much Tracy.


Winston Edmonton here with Drew O'Brien from Cloudera. We've got a lot of action going around your booth. Tell me what you guys have going on. Oh, lots of things. So we've had a couple of exciting announcements in the last six months. We G8 Impala, which is our real-time SQL query engine on Hadoop. And then just last couple of weeks ago, we announced Cloudera Search, which is a Google-like search interface that runs on Hadoop based on Solar and Lucene. So a lot of exciting stuff going on. Lots of people stopping by wanting to find out more information. So it's been good so far. That sounds very exciting. I mean, it sounds like this is something that's going to make this more accessible. I mean, for a lot of people, it seems like, yeah, we need to get this data. We need to get information from it. But how do we do that? You're providing something that they already know, a search bar that they can just go after it. Exactly. That's exactly what we say. If you can use Google, you can use Cloudera Search. So it opens up Hadoop to folks like lawyers and doctors who may not know SQL. They may not know how to code pig or hive. But they do know how to do a search. So you can identify data, find data very easily, enlarge Hadoop clusters, and then do with it what you will. It's also good benefits for more technical folks, like data scientists. They can use it to identify data sets that they want to work with more granularly. So maybe they want to find out every piece of data in the cluster that has a customer ID associated with it. So they can search on that, identify that data set, then pull it down, and do all their other magic in SAS and R or whatever tools they're working with to further their goal. So fantastic. I love that. Now, you talk about the platform. Kind of describe what you mean by that. As in, yeah, your tagline here. Platform for big data. So basically what it is is it's a collection of open source projects. Hadoop technically is just HDFS and MapReduce, as well as some common libraries. So what we've done is compile a number of other open source projects governed by Apache as well as other just Apache license projects into a cohesive system and platform for big data that does everything from storage to computation, facilities for integration with other tools, for access via different things like search and Impala. So providing a much more complete platform than just the two components of HDFS and MapReduce. So we bundle in things like Flume and Scoop and Uzi and Impala to make the product more useful. Wrap it all up with management software to make it easy and centralized to manage. I'm glad I got a chance to talk with you because with the search bar you really are making this more accessible. When you think about a search bar after the fact, it's like, wow, why didn't we think of that before? What else, what other features do you think will make this more accessible to the everyday IT team? That's a great question. And really our vision for the Hadoop platform is data becomes centric. You have a central store where you put all of your data from across your enterprise and depending on who you are, depending on what you want to accomplish with the data, you bring a different tool to bear onto that single central source of data. So originally we had MapReduce, which was great for batch processing, and then we're bringing in other tools like Interactive SQL with Impala. We've created Search, which is a whole new category of user who may not be as technical. In the future we'll see even more things through integration with partners, like we're working very closely with SAS and Revolution Analytics to bring statistical computation for data scientists. Other things like Storm and Giraffe. And so you'll see really the Hadoop platform become commoditized as a central place to put data and then a number of different tools that you can bring to bear on it depending on who you are, what your goal is and what you want to do with it. I like that. You talked about lawyers in particular as being able to take advantage of something like the search bar. What other industries do you think are going to benefit the most from these tools that you're making it so much simpler to jump in and dive into that data? Sure. Retail is a big one. So especially for retailers that are online that deal with multiple different vendors. Like maybe it's an online presence that sells from 50 or 100 different sub-clothing providers. They can use search to identify and further categorize the data that they have on their site to make it more accessible to users. So maybe they use it to improve the metadata around. So if I go to their site and I'm looking for a blue polo, I can make sure that if I type into search for blue polo, I get all the results that will come up and the most relevant and that other things are excluded to make it my shopping experience more seamless and more relevant. So retail will be a big one. We mentioned lawyers in e-discovery. Healthcare is another big one. You're looking for certain diseases or certain patterns or certain demographics for a population sample, things like that as well. So it really, it applies across industries. It's going to be a very powerful, I mean, think about Google. Who doesn't use Google these days? And it's a similar type of a thing. I see that. It feels like in the future, we won't understand how we operate it without these technologies. You know, right now it seems fresh and exciting, but it's going to be so beneficial that I think we're going to wonder how the heck we functioned before. That's exactly right. It tends to be how things progress in this industry. Something comes and it kind of changes the world and then you become dependent on it. Even think of Facebook as a good example. Something kind of novel a couple of years ago, and I remember when it started, you had to be a college student to even get on it. And now it's like, imagine a life without Facebook. Even a corporate life. A lot of the PR and marketing campaigns you do are centered around social media. And I think from a technology perspective, from an infrastructure perspective, Hadoop will have a somewhat similar impact as the platform matures, as it becomes more capable and as companies like Cloudera continue to work very hard to develop its capabilities. Pretty ubiquitous at this point, or at least moving towards that. There are a lot of individuals that manage data centers that don't have the imagination to just look at your product and your suite of services and understand how it's going to benefit them. Is there on your website resources that can help them look at a number of case studies that can just kind of help inspire them to say, wow, this is something that I could actually use? Yeah, absolutely. We have a solution section on our website. It talks about how Hadoop can be applied to different verticals. We have some white papers on different use cases for financials, for retail. It's easy to find. If you go to our resources tab on our site, you can search by content type. You can search by keyword. A lot of resources there. We're going to continue to improve that, continue to do a better job, because that's a big challenge still, right, is to bring it down to something that everybody can understand and realize the value, and so we're going to continue to work very hard to make it more terrestrial. And just cloudair.com, that's the website? Cloudair.com, that's right. I know you have to run. What is the biggest takeaway that you want folks that pass by or that are at home watching and what message do you want to push out there? I would just say try this stuff for yourself. That's the beauty of open source.  We have a number of things that you can download without any cost whatsoever. Bring it down, kick the tires. You know, you can listen to vendors like us talk about this stuff all day, but at the end of the day, the best way to figure out if it's going to work for you is to give it a try. And with open source, it makes it so much easier to do. I encourage you all to do it. Go to cloudair.com slash downloads, pull down the software, give it a try for yourself. There it is. Give it a shot. Winston Edmonton here in front of the Cloudair booth. Lots of action here. Wish you were here, but we gave you what you can view it all at home. Studio B, signing out.


StarlinkX is a fully integrated cloud software stack that provides everything needed to deploy an edge cloud with both container and virtual machine environments. In this demo, we will show you can use integrated EdgeX Foundry services with StarlinkX to manage IoT devices such as sensors, LEDs and cameras. We will also show a containerized face and edge detection application analyzing a live camera stream using OpenVINO toolkit. The setup includes a Raspberry Pi serving as the IoT gateway connected to one ultrasonic sensor, red, green and blue LEDs and a USB camera. StarlinkX is hosted on an Intel Hades Canon NUC with all in one configuration where all three cloud functions, controller, compute and storage are on a single device. In the client device that we use to access demo dashboard hosted on StarlinkX via TCP IP. The IoT gateway contains four EdgeX Foundry service layers, device, core, supporting and export. With the export services, we can share status and control data of the devices through a MQTT message queue and REST protocol with a StarlinkX worker node. In StarlinkX, an integrated EdgeX agent collects data from the IoT gateway and shares them to the container applications. In this demo, we show three cases where OpenVINO uses CPU, GPU and Movideus Neo ComputeStack for face detection and edge analysis. Now, let's see the demo. Login to StarlinkX Controller 0 and start the host container applications. Then login to the IoT gateway and start its container applications including the EdgeX Foundry microservices. From a third client device, open the browser and enter StarlinkX IP and the corresponding port for the dashboard. Connect to the MQTT service and we can see the analysis result by OpenVINO showing a couple in mid 30s to late 40s age range and another in mid 20s. The camera is pointed at a static monitor displaying the stock photos and the camera stream is live. The performance statistics and CPU utilization using GPU, CPU and Movideus Neo ComputeStack are also shown on the dashboard. Users can also use the buttons at the bottom to turn on and off the LEDs in the camera. EdgeX Foundry services also provide interactions between devices. For example, at live events, the ultrasonic sensor detects a visitor approaching and sends a signal to turn on the LEDs and the camera to start face detection and edge analysis. StarlinkX IoT integration with EdgeX Foundry offers a smooth solution to manage IoT devices. For more information about StarlinkX, please visit the website and join the community.
