Broadway's My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomeest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. The dawn mists of November are drifting, slow swirling, clinging to street lamp. And Broadway's stone and stillness, the dazzle of time, night has slipped out of Broadway's fingers. And there's bewilderment now, the puzzled study of empty hands, and the dregs of night, the sleepwalkers, and pulling at their sleeves solitude. Run from it, beat on a door, find it closed, run again, and suddenly between darkness and light, the roar of truck, the hurdle of morning newspapers to pavement, and stop running. Give up. There's proof day will come. Autumn dawn, five o'clock, in downtown and east from Broadway, the street lined with November trees to the private library of the Bentley Foundation, where Detective Muggevin was, and a woman lying wounded against a litter of books. When she got shot, she must have stumbled around, Danny, falling against that book rack, knocked it over. Who found her? Custodian. Came in here with his mop and pale and dust rack, grabbed a diamond of the cash box and called it in. It unsettled him, he says, says he can't work a lick today. I told him I'd fix it with his boss. She's in bad shape, Muggevin. Have you... Yeah, I called for the ambulance, Danny. Be here any minute. Don't worry about it. Know who she is? Yeah, Custodian filled me in. Amelia Lane. She was working here as librarian when he got this job. Told me she was kind, thoughtful, never yelled at him once. Had a stretch to hear her sometimes, he said. Said the staff gave her a birthday party around six months ago, or fiftieth. Said the cake was chocolate with marshmallow frosting and shaped an open book. You and the Custodian got along real well, huh? Yeah, a nice guy, Danny. He was real sorry about Miss Lane. He said people had to die this way. It shouldn't be Miss Lane. She's not dead. Well, he told me she would be. He said he just had a feeling because she was such a nice lady, a good lady. He said good people like Miss Lane don't happen often, don't last when they do... Ambulance, Danny. Yeah, go open the door for them. Hi, Gino, come on in. Your midday snack, Danny. Wax and cream cheese on toasted bagel. I told you I didn't want it toasted. What do you know about fancy locks and cream cheese eating? Coleslaw? Coffee? A tootsie roll. A tootsie roll? I thought it would be nice. Thanks, Gino. What else have you got? The cream and sugar's already... I know, I mean about work. Oh. Well? I got it right here. In the case of Amelia Lane, wounded librarian. She was shot by a 25 caliber weapon held at close range at about 11 last night. According to Dr. Sinski, and as he put it, life and death are a thread. Go on. Amelia Lane has been a librarian for the Bentley Foundation for 12 years. A spinster, lives alone, has a room at the Marlin Hotel for women on Upper Broadway. What else? From friends and acquaintances questioned at said hotel, Miss Lane is a woman of settled disposition and ready with a kind word to who needs it. And? And is this, nothing of note found in her belongings. She was wearing a pin with Greek letters on it, fraternity or sorority. And a clothed flower corsage on a simple frock as befitted one of her station. Yeah, I saw all that. Our boys found this, however, Danny. A list of those who withdrew or returned books to the Foundation yesterday. Six names. Give the top three to Muggerman, Gino. Tell him to check them out. I'll take the others. That's it, Danny. So eat already. Then squad car through November City, and the swift images scattered in its wake. The girl on the safety island who held up a thumb leaned her smile close to you when you stopped for the traffic light. Girl in off shoulder summer dress and concession to autumn, fur neckpiece loose draped about her throat. Lost then in quick ricochet of sunlight off chrome as light changed as you moved away. Other images, hurry and ebb of crowd. The seller of chestnuts who scurried his cart out of your path. And finally the side street, the first name on the list, Abby Forrest. You look, I don't know, startled. Is that it? Well, Miss Forrest, I did. It's how young I am, isn't it, that brought that look to your face. How young I am in this fuzzy cardigan. The bare legs and the bobby socks and the saddle shoes. That's what did it to you, wasn't it? A woman was shot yesterday, Amelia Lane, librarian at the Bentley Foundation. I'm 17. I think you should know. You brought some books back to the Bentley Foundation yesterday. Think of it, 17. Miss Forrest. I don't have enough to understand things. Understand why you looked at me like that and why you're here. You think I shot that old lady? When were you there? When did you check those books in? I'll try again. You think I shot that old lady? Just tell me when you were there. Between home economics 1A and elementary psychology. I have these two hours off from the university, three days a week. From 11 to 1, all to myself. And think how I used them at Bentley Foundation, poking into dusty old tomes. And I'm just a freshman. You were there between 11 and 1? And Miss Lane was very helpful and asked how things were going for me. And I told her soon, soon I'd hold out my hand and there would be the rich intellectual to kiss it and ring it and ask for it in marriage. And she blushed and I laughed out loud and she shushed me.  If you see her, tell her I said that. Can you remember? Or shall I write it down for you? You'll remember. You look very intellectual. Dr. Levering? Yes? I'm from the police, Danny Clover. I'd like to talk to you. I've only this brief time till my next class, the student papers to go over. It's about Amelia Lane. Oh, I see. Now please come in. That chair, please. The university knows that you've come to me about Miss Lane? I don't think so. I asked some of the students outside. One of them told me you were here in your office. Permit me gratitude for your discretion. You will understand, of course, how quickly scandal blossoms and flourishes at the university. If you had mentioned me in the same breath with Amelia Lane, the notoriety. I didn't. Let's let it go at that, Dr. Levering. Oh, you're pardoned. What about Amelia brought you to me? You know she was shot. You know she's dying. I read of it this morning. Yeah? It is difficult for me to muster a deep sorrow for Amelia. Why? I have my own, my private grief. My wife, the wife of 30 years, Mrs. Levering died of a lingering illness less than a month ago. I am a widower. I am alone. And I have only this for solace. The romance languages I teach, the compassion of my students when the grief overcomes me. Let's not dwell on it, shall we? All right. I have known Amelia since we were students together at Teachers College. That was many years ago. She was a plain girl then, but sensitive. We went our separate ways. I got my doctorate here in the romance languages and at the Bentley Foundation 12 years ago, I found her again. And she was still quite plain and older and more sensitive and more helpful than I had remembered her. Obscure reference material was always at the very tip of her tongue. That is Amelia. What time were you at the library yesterday, Dr. Levering? Let me think. Four in the afternoon, right after my last class. Strange. What is? Simply this, Amelia, plain, colorless. How did she incite so much passion and violence that someone tried to kill her? Strange. Then the man moved away from me. Took a stance directly under a diploma, turned, looked at me. He formed a smile, raised his hand slightly, dropped him. As if the school bell had suddenly run in the middle of something not too important. Class was over and I was dismissed. Third name on the list, Michael Brady, address Greenwich Village. One flight up and four doors down through a corridor embellished by art students in a trap with a red crayon pencil. Hi. Hello, is your name Michael Brady? That's right. Won't you sit down? I'm glad you came. Yes, I've been working. I needed a break. Rather I needed an excuse for a break. I see. Is there something I might do for you? It's about a woman named Amelia Lane. About her? She was shot with a date last night. Is she dead? No. Please take me to her. You were at the library yesterday. Please, is it so important that I go to her? All right, let's go. It looks cold out. Yeah, it is. I'd better put on a jacket. She's not going to die. We mustn't let that happen. We must do everything we can. What are things being done? That's very good. I need her badly. I tell you this because it's a very true one. Yesterday when I saw... What time was this? In the afternoon, about four. When I saw her then I told her just what I'm telling you. It would be pretty melancholy if anything happened to her. Yes. You see, I'm at the university. I met Miss Lane during summer session. I was doing a paper so I went to Bentley. She was very kind to me. Helpful. Nothing must happen to her. The car's right over there. So much she knew where knowledge was. Beautiful things in books. Are you in love with Miss Lane? I love her. She is a person to love, you know. No, I mean... She calls me Michael. And to me, she's Miss Lane. Get him. Mr. Clover. Yes? Once I told her I loved her in a way I couldn't explain. She put her finger to my lips. How old are you, Michael? Eighteen. Please, let's hurry. Which room is it? Just down the hall. When she gets better and you can get to know her and see what kind of a person she is, you'll see what I mean. Then here. How is she, Dr. Sinski? In a gentle delirium. She's been saying that for the last hour then. Is that any names? No, just... Hello, Miss Lane. It's Michael, Miss Lane. How do you feel? I told Mr. Clover that you must have the best of care and that when you get better... Wait a minute, son. This boy is a relative then? A friend. Michael Birdie. Miss Lane is dead, Michael. Oh, I'll miss her dreadfully. Listening to Broadway's My Beat, written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. This Tuesday night, starting at 8 p.m. New York time, CBS Radio stops the entertainment in its tracks and begins the biggest election night reporting job in history. Make CBS Radio your election headquarters to receive up to the second all the color, all the trends, all the mounting totals. CBS Radio's Great Conventions Reporting Squad will be on the job from the initial returns until the president-elect is elected. Remember this Tuesday night, starting at 8 p.m. New York time, you have a date with history at CBS Radio Election Headquarters. At the touch of November evening, Broadway picks up the tempo. The daydreams made at lunch hour were about nighttime and the time is starting to happen. This way, run up the steps from the subway, down the street, grab a partner, join the dance, and the riot happens. You play musical doorways against the skirt of laughter and trumpet until somehow you lose. Someone took your place and you're all alone. So, like the cigarette, take the ten minutes for coffee, try all over again. And the reflections of evening had died down the street from where I was, the cube of silence reserved for hospital zone and within its corridors a boy and Detective Mugman. You're OK, Michael? I'd like to get some air. Oh, sure, let's go out here in the balcony. It's pretty chilly. I'm not cold. Michael? Yes, Mr. Clover?  You were right there when she died. You saw what happened. She was trying to talk to me and she died. No, Lieutenant doesn't mean that, Michael. He means that you shoot her yesterday. I understand why you have to ask me that, but you must look at it from my point of view. All right. It's very simple. It's terrible she's dead from my point of view, I mean.  I mean... Yeah, let's get with it, Sonny. What do you mean? She's dead and I'm very unhappy. Sure. Let's talk a little bit more about her, shall we? I'd like to. Were there any times when you were along with her, away from the library, I mean? Yes, often. Well, tell me about the Michael. Often, when my class is permitted, I'd wait for her in front of her apartment. Did you ever meet her inside, Sonny? Certainly not. Go on, Michael. I'd meet her. I'd walk with her. When it was fine, I'd walk with her all the way to the library. There was so much to see to talk about. Much to...  Yes. What college? Well... What college, Michael? You see... You ever been to a doctor? Not if I don't want to.  Sometimes. Well... Yes. It's...it's difficult to know sometimes. Take it easy, Michael. This is happening, though. Miss Lane is dead. Later, though, much later, I need that time. Much later, I'll wait for her and we'll walk. The things we planned... What things? She talked about Europe to me and said the names to me. Seville, Venice. So I went and got the tickets. What? Yes. That travel agency. You know the one. The big one in the White Building, 43rd Street. I got the tickets. She told me they were there for me to get them and I did. Several days ago. I got them and I gave them to her. But she never mentioned anything to me again. About the places. You think he's dreaming this one, too, then? I'm going to find a... Yeah, sure. I'll introduce Michael to Dr. Sinski. Good night, Michael. Good night, Mr. Clover. And that does it, doesn't it, Miss Lawton?  Yes, pardon. I'll be disengaged in a moment, sir. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Thank you. Italy will ravish you this time of year, Miss Lawton. It's so off-season. Well, arrivederci, Miss Lawton. Buona fortuna and a jolly south wind to you. That was Miss Tracy Lawton of the theatre. Have you ever seen her on the stage? No. Sensible man. I sold her Florence, you know. She tried vainly to hold out for Rome. I persuaded her Florence. Too competitive in Rome for a no talent like Miss Tracy. Doesn't interest you, does it? No. Tell me what does. I'll just stand here, toss in suggestions from time to time. For your sort, permit me. I suggest Mozambique. Forget it. I'm from the police. You say it in a tone that implies you're not finding an excursion. The boy was in here a couple of days ago. He picked up some tickets for Miss Amelia Lane. Oh, I remember him well. He asked for a travel poster for his room. The Athens one. I gave him Athens. Amelia Lane, do you remember? She's dead, you know. Murdered, I read. Yes, I know. How imbecilic of me. Of course that's why you're here. Now, you know too. Now maybe you'll tell me. I helped her plan a honeymoon, you know. And she was what? Fifty? Gone. An autumn honeymoon. And I've whispered all the right places. Paris, of course. Venice. Seville. And the latest French liner, which sails tomorrow evening. And she bought them all for two. And paid cash.  Was she with anyone one of you? No, no, no. She was quite alone. She said she wanted the thing to be an exciting surprise for her fiancée. A wedding gift. From her to him. She tell you who she was going to marry? I never really believed there was anyone. You think there was really someone to marry her? You know, I'm glad. I'm glad she had that dream. Even if it came true only partially. Walk away from him and hit the night street. And consider the possibility that for Amelia Lane, librarian, it had been a dream. The voyage to the missed places. With lover and husband who never existed. Except in pages of novel. Except in youth memory. Except in long ago summer image. But the fact of violent death. That had happened to her. From a mixed up boy maybe. Maybe from the man ahead of you who lurched into alley. Or from someone who sat quietly at a window and savored. And night street becomes the night room. And frayed rug. And the sleep coughing of the tenant upstairs. And the radio loud across the area away. And finally night is lost in river. In the morning, make the coffee. Read the headlines. Go to work. In your office at police headquarters, Detective Muggevin has been waiting for you. Morning, Danny. Hi. I got an extra container of coffee there on your desk. I thought maybe you were... Oh, thanks. I've been scrounging around, Danny. I think I... You checked the people on that list of suspects? Oh, nothing there, Danny. Ran them all down. Everyone with an alibi for the time of Miss Lane's murder. I checked, cross-check, rechecked nothing there. You were going to say something else? What? Well, I think I've got a lead. Miss Lane's savings account. Two weeks ago, she had almost 12 grand saved up. A week ago, she had nothing. She drew it all out. I saw her signature on the withdrawal slip. Anything else? Yeah. Yeah, this. Let me carry it around with me. This pin we found pinned to Miss Lane's dress. It's a frat pin. Now, I begin running around to fraternities. It's very happy in fraternities this year. Get off it, Muggevin. And finally, I come up with an old frat boy, frat expert. He recognizes the pin. He said it was a local frat maybe 20, 25 years ago. Not social, cultural. Honorary students of culture. The students of romance languages. Well, are you going to say something, Danny? Yeah. Thanks for the coffee, Muggevin. Dr. Levering. What is it? I want to talk to you. Yes? Can we go inside? I don't believe it. Let's go inside, doctor. Hello, Miss Forrest. I asked you something. What are you doing here, Miss Forrest? You're a man really interested in me, aren't you? Last time I was cardigan. This is jazzy your outfit. You'd better leave, Miss Forrest. Don't talk to me like that, Doc. I'm only 17 and I'll cry. I asked you something. What are you doing here? I'm just a freshman. The professor here knows all the answers. What am I doing here, Doc? I'll tell you, Mr. Clover. Mother was right. Men talk. Abby, what were you going to tell me, Miss Dr. Levering? Miss Forrest is a student in one of my classes. I, uh, go on, doctor. We're going out. That's right. I wrote Mother not to wait up. Please, Abby. Now, Miss Clover, what is it? Still the same thing, doctor. Still about Amelia Lane. If I had had anything to add to what I've already told you, I would have let you know. Isn't he sweet the way he talks? I think you'd better go now, Abby. Go? What do you mean? I'll meet you later. Meet you where? Yes. I'll meet you. Okay, Doc. You want to? I've got to call my roommate, though. I'll call her from the outside. She's probably just leaving, Doc. I better call her. I told her to bring my bags here after she packed them for me. Hey, Doc! What's with you? We're not married yet. Little fool! You're talking to me, Doc. You remember me? Where were you going, Miss Forrest? I might be changing my mind about it any minute. Abby, I'm sorry, Abby. Sure. See, Mr. Clover? He's got a lot of torch left under all that, Professor. You were going to get the captain to marry you on the boat? Answer him, Doc. Yes. Yes, that's right. Honeymoon and Paris, Venice, Seville? Sure. Been to them all, but not like this. I'm going to show Doc a time. I know places tourists don't go to. What's wrong with it, Clover? I'm a widower. I'm lonely. This girl is youth. Make a judgment, Clover. Tell me I'm wrong.  The difficulty is, Doctor, your life's not your own anymore. What are you talking about? You killed Amelia Lane. Now your life's public property. You did that, Doc? It'll be all right, Abby. Not if you killed her, it won't. Mr. Clover... Miss Lane thought you were going to marry her, Doctor. Yes. Yes, she did. I better go home. Oh, please, Abby. Get away from me! No, no, you don't understand. Get away from me! Get over there! Over there, Doc! What are you going to tell me? Tell me, and I'm getting out of here. Just that I'm sorry.  You see, Mr. Clover, that child was the reason. Amelia and I were going to marry. Then last week, Abby came to my office for some help with her studies. It was a quiet autumn evening, and she curled up in the big chair, and everything seemed far away. And Abby is very beautiful, you know. Then when Amelia gave me the tickets for our honeymoon, suddenly I thought it would be wonderful to be in Seville with somebody young and lovely. Abby.  I asked Abby to go with me. She said she would. Then I went to Amelia.  Her tickets, her money, I needed them. Abby, if I hurt you... Forget it, Doc. Mr. Clover? Go ahead. Thanks. When the night turns into Broadway, the street plumes into flame, flings reflections hard into the shadows. It's Blair that ebbs and screams again, and faces darting, wavering. Lost forever.

Thanks again for the fill next up. We've got another half case


Test test, okay. All right, we're gonna get started test There's still room at the front people do you want to come I? Promise we don't bite Okay, it's early morning for me because I'm from the US so Show of hands from everyone who in the audience loves virtual machines Okay, pretty good. All right who in the audience show fans loves containers A lot more people, okay. I Saw some people who didn't raise their hands so You must be here to see us talk about scale and performance. So I appreciate that Okay, so I'm Ryan Halsey. I work at Nvidia as an engineer. This is my colleague a lay Patel also from Nvidia and We're here to talk about CICD driven benchmarking it's measuring scale and performance that that we do in Qvert and We're excited to share with you today talk to you about why this matters and Share with you how you can do it too. Okay, so first we'll begin. I'll talk about At a high-level Qvert what it is And then I'll hand the mic over to a lay and he'll go through talk about scalability How we measure scalability and then this idea of a control plane as a shared resource Something really important to keep in the back in your mind as we're going through That control plane is a shared resource And then we'll talk a little bit about Qvert's performance and scale Stack and benchmarks so things in ways we measure and then We'll share with you how you can do this too as as someone who writes an API someone who writes an operator How you can do the same thing that we're doing in Qvert? Okay, a virtual machine is a custom resource Right, so what does that mean? It's it's an it is an extension of the Kubernetes API So really when you're asking as the user for a virtual machine You're going to the Kubernetes API server and what are you gonna get? You're actually gonna get a container Right, so this is interesting so for all the people who raised their hands for both that love Virtual machines and containers to shout out to you guys We also love virtual machines and containers in Qvert because we rely on them very heavily so we get this container and We have the Qvert control plane That does some work. We have inside this container. We've got a Q mu process. We've got liver And then the host we've got cavea. We've got the hypervisor And so we do the Qvert control plane does some work generates an XML and Voila, we're in France. Voila. We have a we have a virtual machine and From there Now you have a if you think about it. It's a virtual machine running inside of a container So that's what Qvert is. It's it's a virtual machine running inside a container Qvert provides that control plane provides the API To interact with the user to extend the Kubernetes API to give you that experience that you can run a virtual machine just like you would in other in other scenarios and other stacks and runs it in a Kubernetes native way Okay, so we work in video and we use Qvert very heavily and We rely on a lot of things not just Qvert. We rely on a lot of things in the ecosystem So what's our use case? So we have a cloud that we operate our use cases GPUs right we want to provide and users with GPUs and so we Particularly with the GPUs. We want to provide users graphics. We want to stream graphics over the network to provide users Different experiences particularly we focus a lot on the g-force now g-force now is Streaming graphics over the network so that you can play games. There's probably some people here who are familiar with g-force now You can play triple a games on your phone. So we do the rendering I'm in the cloud and we'll stream the graphics to you wherever you are And so that all is powered by Kubernetes powered by Qvert and a bunch of the things we've got Oven we use For a network. We've got gatekeeper we use Prometheus Grafana Flux Fluent bit so a lot of things that go into our stack and So something to think about when when LA is talking This is what we know when when she's gonna show some examples and That how we have measured and tested scale in our environments. This is these are the things that we use This is what our stack looks like Thank you Ryan for that introduction to our stack. So when we are running this stack in production We need to make sure that Scales well when there is high load for GFN So in order to think about perf and scale of that stack we rely on the great work that Kubernetes six scale has done To think about perf and scale The six scale Kubernetes has introduced something called scalability dimensions Which act as a guidance on how to think about perf and scale So three major things that include in that guidance The first thing you need to think about is the environment in which That the stack is running in so it includes things like Kubernetes version what Kubernetes version you are running on What kind of hardware resources you have for the control plane how it is configured and the environment? impacts greatly how the scale of the how the stack scales The second thing and the most important thing to think about is the scalability thresholds. So this means that It's the number of objects that the cluster needs to scale at The scalability thresholds as you can see in the in the diagram They will differ for each cluster use case for us For the stack that we run the scalability thresholds that matter our Object counts for pods VMs nodes PVC's those are the key focus for us But it's it's really important to understand that the scalability envelope that six scale Kubernetes six scale has provided gives you a great way of thinking about Thinking about perf and scale and this diagram will look different for each Kubernetes cluster Then the third thing is if you're using extensions Almost all production Kubernetes clusters use extension in one form or another for example mutating validating webhooks Those should have those should be used wisely all the extensions should be used wisely in the sense that If you're looking for high scale or low latency the webhook should provide low latency for instance The CRDs or the CRs of the extension Should be within the the scalability thresholds in this envelope So once you have all of these three dimensions, you can determine the SLO for the Kubernetes cluster that that you are running It is also important to understand that when we are thinking about the scalability thresholds some of the work that the Upstream Kubernetes six scale is doing can be used here. So if you look at the diagram The the upstream six scale provides dimension or scalability guidance on nodes parts PVC secrets But then when talking about extensions, there are other things in the cluster that could impact scalability So what we have found is that all the extensions like our cube word OBS gatekeeper that we run they Compound the number of CRs and hence compound the number of hence compound the scale of the cluster not only number of CRs, but but they also Create some kind of client load on the API server. So in terms of the HTTP request So in order to reconcile those CRs They will send HTTP request to API server and again that has a compounding effect on on how control plane scales So the first four or five things are provided by six scale, but then the HTTP request and the scalability of cube word with respect to CRs is what we in in the cube word six scale focus on the rest of the presentation I'll focus on how these things can be monitored and measured to get an idea of scale just to prove Showcase an example of how these things cause failures at scale We were seeing frequent of API server ooms in in our stack In order to and and one thing that was observed Was that when when we find an oom Chances were that there were a large number of secrets existing in the cluster So in order to root cause the actual problem behind those API server ooms We did an experiment the experiment involved creating around 5,000 secrets 0.2 MB each and then Sending a list request against secrets. So a client is just asking for a list of those resources and what we found is you can see in the charts that At that scale in our environment two or more concurrent list calls cause an API server outage There is some kind of an inefficiency in the way API server handles list calls This is a well-known problem in in the Kubernetes community and it's being handled by an enhancement Cap 3157 if you want to learn more on what kinds of List calls are susceptible to these kinds of ooms It's mentioned and explained very well in in the cap and the cap actually proposes a solution to work around those problems But going back to the problem you can see that in a large-scale distributed environment You could have an extension client that could potentially Make those two concurrent list calls and because it makes those list calls in our environment We were getting those API server ooms. So it's important to monitor what kind of Load Extensions and other clients on top of Kubernetes are creating against the API server So when we found out about that experiment we actually plotted a graph You can see on the x-axis number of requests on Sorry on the y-axis number of requests and on the x-axis Number of secrets multiplied by size of each secret in this graph anything in the green Was perfectly okay for us if you are on the graph on the line or outside the green domain That's when There were outages. So in order to scale up Let's say you want to have more than two concurrent requests in the cluster you can either reduce the size of the secret or reduce the maximum amount of Scale in terms of number of secret the cluster can support either of those will help you increase the number of concurrent calls The API server can handle So hopefully this helps set the context that It's not just about the number of objects It's also about the size of each object and then on top of that how many concurrent Request the API server is serving to the clients Okay, so with that background if you are an if you're writing an operator And if you want to measure a performance and scaling characteristics of that operator, how do you do that? So as Ryan explained earlier Qvert is just a CR and there is a set of controllers Behind the scenes that would make that VM running So as part of Qvert 6 scale what we do is we define the scalability threshold in terms of the number of VMs And then we monitor the client side load that Qvert generates in order to Make those VMs go into running state. So to do that We at Qvert 6 scale have Developed a benchmarking stack that helps Qvert monitor perf and scale metrics for each release and at the end of each release Those graphs will be shipped to the users so they can have an idea of what kind of perf and scale They can expect Talking a little bit more about the benchmarking stack it consists of three major layers The first is the basic set of tools So this layer includes things like Workload generator so in order to perf and scale test we need some Workload generator and that will create a bunch of VMIs in in our test environment And then once we have those VMIs we need certain kinds of metrics And metrics monitoring so we have a set of tools That creates a bunch of VMIs when those VMIs are being reconciled by Qvert There is a monitoring stack which will continuously monitor the interesting metrics from our perspective Once we have this basic building blocks. We have wired this up into CI so these End-to-end tests are run daily through a pro and the results from that monitoring is dumped into an S3 bucket So every day at certain point three jobs get run and the results for those are dumped into an S3 bucket Once we have the results into the S3 bucket the next thing we need to do is aggregate those results and Plot it in a graph. So the third layer will include scraping things down from the S3 bucket and Plotting it in a graph once we have a graph. We just release those graph on on the Q-word release as benchmarks Okay, so That benchmarking stack will produce a graph like this so you can see this graphs are P50 of VMI creation to running In terms of seconds. So how many seconds Q-words stack takes in order to Send a VMI or VM into running state you can see that the graph is plotted over time and at some point the trend line for the graph changed at The green vertical line we started to see that the performance Improved a little bit and the observations were highly concentrated around Whereas previously those were a little bit more dispersed So then in order to figure out, you know, what caused this problem We started digging in and we found out that at that time we actually had changed the underlying Kubernetes provider from 1.25 to 1.27 and because of that there was Increasing performance in the the way pod gets to running and because Q-word relies on on a pod To provide you a VM Because of that Q-words metric started to improve So you can see that over time if something changes in the environment then that would lead to better performance and Having benchmarks like this can help understand exactly What change caused those Metrics to improve or degrade so for example all of those vertical lines in the in the graph Then denote some kind of a change in in the environment Apart from the green one all the three vertical lines are Change in Q-word releases. So we have plotted this for last three release and We have shipped this as benchmark for v12 not only that as we as Q-word Runs into its development cycle using this graph a six scale periodically monitors if there are regressions in the or improvements in the Matrix and finds out what exactly caused those to happen. So for example, you can see further along the time there was a time when The trend line improved a whole lot and Basically half What we found out at that time was that a monitoring change was introduced in the Q-word Benchmarking stack which actually broke our collection of matrix. So this Second change that was identified was not a performance improvement But actually a bug in in the way we were collecting metrics. So these graphs are used to find out a bunch of problems in the cluster and Not not just in the cluster in Q-word development cycle and We continuously monitor that as part of the six scale effort Okay, so now that we have seen the performance benchmark I want to introduce the scalability benchmarks and the way these are different is that In the performance benchmarks, you get to see exactly how much performance is being Increased or decreased But in the scalability benchmarks, you get to see how much load Q-word stack Generates against the API server. So the idea here is that the exact cost of that call Is not something we could determine The user of Q-word will have to figure out if they their environment can scale based on this benchmarks So you can see in the graph above that the graph above shows a patch Podcounts for a VM. So what these what this means is that if Q-word if a user starts a hundred VMs how many patch calls does a Q-word stack makes against the API server and In in one of the releases we doubled the amount of patch calls that were made so we went from around one patch call to two patch calls and You can see that that is easily identifiable based on the benchmarks and At that time six scale figure out that The feature that was being shipped as part of this release was Causing this to increase and it was actually okay Because we were getting a good benefit from that feature Okay, so hopefully That showcases how to how we benchmark our Q-word stack Now the question is how do you benchmark your operator right? So there are three building blocks as I explained one is Having a set of tool set to start Some amount of load in the test cluster There are well-known Tools that are getting popular one of the tools is a cube burner cube burner allows you to declaratively specify a yaml and say okay, I want to create a hundred VMI's Put it in a yaml and then cube burner will start and and create those hundred VMI's for you There are other tools for example cluster loader Is something that is being maintained by Kubernetes six scale? So even that could be used to generate load Once you have the load generator the second part is monitoring Controller runtime has a well-defined set of metrics that you could monitor and if need be You can also add more metrics on the client side. So what we have done in Q-word is In production, we don't We don't collect a lot of metrics, but just for the end-to-end test We have an environment variable that would collect much more in-depth metrics During when the tests are executed. So this helps in making sure that Prometheus does not have to collect a lot of detailed metrics in production and you can keep the scalability of Prometheus same at the same time Understand the scalability behavior of code changes through end-to-end test Then once you have these set of tools You can set up a CI automation and instead of putting things into an S3 bucket, which we had to do You can actually dump metrics directly into Prometheus or Thanos And if that option is available as a next step For your upstream or downstream project, you can actually wire up some kind of alerting rules that when these metrics They fall below or fall above a certain threshold you get notified of a performance degradation Yeah, so That's how you can take advantage of this performance and monitoring stack That we have developed and the ideas that that we are trying to share with folks. Thank you. Um, if you have Feedback Please share with us and then we have few minutes for questions How will you create them the group by component graph in the first light? Then the graph that you created in the in the group component Yeah, in the first light In the sense Okay, so repeating the question. How did I how did we create this graph? This graph is just to Explain that there are other things in In terms of HTTP requests and the number of CRs And the extensions that cuba six scale. Sorry kubernetes six scale does not monitor and it's important to Look at those when you're running a production stack. It's not actually representative of the actual numbers. It's just You know, yeah, it's just denoting an idea Okay, looks like there's no more questions. We'll be here for a few minutes afterwards if you guys want to come talk at all Thank you very much everybody


OK, guys, let's try to figure out the oxidation numbers of, well, effectively, the chlorines in these two compounds. The top one's perchloric acid, and the bottom one's hypochlorous acid. So what do we know already about the top one, of course, or both of them? So it's going to be neutral. So the whole thing is going to be equal to 0. These oxygens, oxidation states are negative 2. And how many do we have, or four of them? Cl is what we're looking for. So it's going to be an x, and there's only one of them. And then h, if you guys remember what that is, plus 1. So let's go ahead and figure this out. So we've got 1 plus x minus 8 equals 0. So x minus 7 equals 0. So oxidation number of chlorine in this case is plus 7. Do you see that? OK, so let's do this one now. So the whole thing is 0, right? Oxygen is minus 2. There's one of them. Plus x, there's one of them. Plus a plus 1. Is everybody OK with what I've done there? So we've got 1 plus x minus 2 equals 0. So x minus 1 equals 0. So x equals plus 1. So chlorine in this case, oxidation number is plus 1. So chlorine can have weird oxidation numbers, OK? So just like a lot of those, especially the bigger non-metals, like phosphorus, sulfur, bromine, we'll see some of those later when we talk about expanded babes, OK? So let's talk about this problem here. So are there any more questions on this particular problem? So we can do that problem in a second. Does everybody understand this one? Yeah.


As you're talking, it's reminded me of a conversation we had with a Theragun founder and so percussive muscle therapy and he talks about that he's been laughed out of rooms because people didn't, there was no science to back this when he first started, I believe now like 10 years ago. But his immediate response from his patients was, this is beneficial, it's working. And so he had this thing where despite the critics, let's call it the scientific community, not really knowing how to embrace him and at the beginning really thinking like, this is silly, this whole idea is really dumb. And then to today where there's published papers, there's published science on what he's developed and the benefits of percussive muscle therapy. From your perspective, what was that like, because I'm sure you dealt with it too, where people, even though there are some studies, but once you're out in the world, and again, this is your baby, so it is personal and there's a lot of investment. What has that been like for you? Are you not so much funding, but working with the scientific community in some way and kind of pushing the science and creating science? I just wanted to dig on that and what that's been like. Yeah, I mean, look, that's, of course, has been challenging because to your point, like Theragun, you come out with a new product, you're the new kid on the block and people are saying, molecular hydrogen water really, today though, I have to say there's over well over a thousand published papers on the efficacy of molecular hydrogen and health and wellness. The Japanese government just approved molecular hydrogen treatment for postcardiac care. They've linked it now to helping 170 different disease models. So there is now substantial research on molecular hydrogen, but going to people and telling them about it was really an uphill battle. And the other part of the story is, I didn't know anything about the beverage business. And so how do you even go about it? And the only thing that I thought about is BevNet, which is a group that is widely supported by the beverage community, they have something called BevNet University. And at the time pre-COVID when you could be at places, I would just sit at the back of the room and just learn and take in as much as I could to learn about the beverage industry. And I had no idea what I first started, what I was getting into. And it takes a lot of money to be able to launch a beverage successfully. And then I had the science aspect of it. But I think one of the things that was very helpful for me early on, even when I had those little square pouches, is that I would hand them out to friends and family and just say, here, try this and tell me what you think. And it was amazing how many people came back to me and said, wow, it helped my headache or maybe they had some other types of inflammation or if they were athlete, they felt that they recovered better. So all of these stories were coming back to me so that I knew that I was definitely on the right path. And you spoke to just so many doctors and it's amazing how many medical practices actually purchase H-Factor and they give them out to their patients. And I think most importantly, one of the earliest things that happened was on TV, the LA Lakers were unbeknownst to me at the time, we're buying H-Factor. And Steve Kerr was doing an interview on TV and you couldn't ask for better product placement right behind him was H-Factor. And so that really helped give us a boost. And then what happened is not just NBA, but NFL and professional golf, tennis, major league, baseball, they all started to tell their friends and we're just started organically going out there. And we really started to get a huge following of professional athletes. I wanted to ask you that. So you have on one side, the medical community as a market, right? So post-recovery, radiation, that side of it were some of the science in Japan is let's let's call it more proven or moving along further. Then you have the athletic community. How do you decide? Like how from a marketing perspective, this has got to be a nightmare, right? It's like because the medical community doesn't necessarily want it to be sexy and beautiful and colorful. They just want it to look kind of plain Jane and make sure it works. Whereas us, let's call it or like the athletic community or even the hotel groups that you're working with now kind of prefer some edge to the product.  I can imagine it's a marketing nightmare because your product appealed to so many different sectors. And in fact, you know, my background was e-commerce before I started H-Factor. So my game plan was not even necessarily to go straight to grocery, but to go ahead into e-commerce. H-Factor has created so many different stories and so many different twists and turns. And I was at one of the glossy magazines in New York, had a cocktail party and I got on to their it list. So I was invited and I had a chance meeting with the former CEO of Hudson Bay Company. And I sent him a case of water and he got back to me and fell in love with it and then said, I'm going to let you in on something. We're going to be doing a six month pop up shop at our Saks Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan. And we like H-Factor to be the beverage. And they brought in Peloton. It was everything cutting edge at the time. And talk about real estate, you know, location, location, location. We got front and center and it was such a beautiful space that they created for us. We had a living room, a hydrogen bar. It was beautiful, right? You know, as you walked off the escalator and elevator, we were there. And so how this, you know, took another different turn for H-Factor is we got so much publicity from not only nationally, but internationally. So then all of a sudden it propelled us almost immediately into the grocery market. So here I was, you know, thinking, oh, OK, I'll do a slow growth in e-commerce now we are everywhere. So it was very exciting. And that was about when we launched in summer 2017.


Ευχαριστούμε όλοι και ευχαριστούμε για το Βιγκύγκυ και σήμερα θα φτιάξω 8 καρδιά χρησιμοποιών από τα τελευταία εργασία με τα πιο καλύτερα πράγματα. Λοιπόν, θα ξεκινήσω με αυτή η διζέντρα που είναι called Stitched Blooms. Αυτό είναι ένα πολύ καλύτερο διζέντρα για να έχετε, γιατί μπορείτε να φτιάξετε τα very own flower compositions και όπως ξέρουμε όλοι, οι τελευταίες είναι καλύτερα για πραγματικά κάθε οικογένειο σε ένα καρδί. Άνοιξα να φτιάξω όλοι τα πιο καλύτερα πράγματα και τα πιο καλύτερα, και τώρα θα χρησιμοποιήσω αυτή την εργασία. Αυτό είναι ένα καρδί από τα τελευταία, θα βρείτε την εργασία βιντες ακόμα. Θα φτιάξω τα πιο καλύτερα. και θα προσπαθώ να βρεις κάποια φορμσκρουλιά σε τη βακή από τα λαπτά να τα πω στον καταλή μου και θα δω τη στιγμή μου για τα λαπτά μου, χωρίς βακή κλού και θα τα δω πάνω στους λαπτάς και θα χρησιμοποιώ τα φιλιά μου για να τα χρησιμοποιώ τα λαπτά μου για να μην βρεις πιο δύσκολο Μετά από το uaumi stamp set χρησιμοποιώ ένας από το σαντήματος που λέει let's celebrate you i wanted to keep this quite neutral so i can use it for pretty much any occasion and my card is finished a lovely shiny and really elegant now let's move on to the second card and for this one i'm using the fireworks stamp set so i'm going to stamp a few of those fireworks this is a layering stamp set which means that i will have to stamp twice to get the full fireworks and i'm going to use embossing powder so i'm stamping everything with versa marking for the first set of stamping i'm applying gold embossing powder this is actually the new classic gold after everything was melted i placed the panel back to my platform and now i'm going to stamp the second layer of these fireworks again with versa marking but this time i'm going to apply silver embossing powder again this is a product by Nuvo and it's the classic silver so i'm going for another elegant looking card with golden silver on top of white i'm going to melt my embossing powder now i'm going to stamp some of the lines that are included in the stamp set like the trail of the fireworks if i can say that and again i'm going to stamp with versa marking and some of them i'm going to emboss them with silver embossing powder while for others i'm going to use gold embossing powder now hopefully you can see how shiny this looks with golden silver on top and i have already stamped my sentiment this comes from you wow me stamp set and i'm going to stick down the word wow which i have cut out with the die that has just been released and i have cut out all those letters from mirror gold cardstock so now i'm using the negative as a mask so that i can place everything nicely separated and everything is going to look nice and neat i'm going to stick this panel on top of a gold mirror cardstock again this is the same cardstock that i used to cut out the word wow so everything matches perfectly as a finishing touch i'm going to add some of those gold crystals in different areas around my fireworks i'm just taking everything down with white glue and i'm using this wax pencil that i get asked a lot of what that is this is actually a pencil which is really inexpensive and you can find it on amazon and pretty much anywhere they usually use this on nail art so anyway my card is finished and here are some close up photos moving on to the third card i'm using this rectangle die to cut out a frame and i'm also going to place inside the sun this is a new die by my favorite things just been released and i absolutely love it so i'm placing everything i have run it through my big shot and you can see the result here i'm going for a shaker card so i'm going to add some white glue all around this plastic pouch this is a pouch again by my favorite things that fits perfectly inside that window and i have an area where i can place my shaker mix i'm going to add some diamond confetti inside this is by nuvo and i'm using my nuvo spoon tool this is really handy i find especially for shaker cards i am going to add some white glue all around this panel now since i am planning to apply on top my card base the card base is yellow that i have created from yellow cardstock and it is a standard card size now this panel is slightly smaller but since i am using white glue i am going to place my card on top turn it around and now i can move it slowly until it is nice and centered out of the same yellow cardstock i have cut out the word sunshine i am adding some white glue at the pack and i am going to stick that underneath my sun to be my sentiment and to complete my sentiment i want to stamp hello so the whole sentiment reads hello sunshine i am using this stamp set which is called full of sunshine and one of the sentiments has the word hello i am going to mask off the rest of the sentiment so that i can use only one word i am going to stamp this with black so that it stands out against all that yellow and white and my card is finished i love it because it's such a bright and happy card but at the same time it was so easy to make now for the next card i am using this stitched pickaboo window i think that's the name of it that has been released previously by my favorite things i have cut it out with my big shot and i don't know if you can tell from here but there is a lovely stitching around this window now i am using leaves and a couple of ink pads to create my own pattern around this panel the leaves i am using come from the to can do it stamp set and you can see the inks that i used for the background on your screen right now i actually used three different leaves and three different ink pads and you can leave this as it is if you want you can add smaller images in between those leaves where you have lots of white space i decided to go with Nuvo drops on all these areas just to fill in my pattern paper a little bit more i am actually using two different colors of Nuvo crystal drops tried to match the colors of the leaves so i used apple green and woodland green now i have stamped one of the birds from the to can do it this is a lovely to can really adorable which i am going to color with my alcohol markers and then i am going to use the matching dye and cut it out now i am also making a little change on this design so that i can keep his chest white just like to cans are so i am not going to color the front of him at all i am just going to leave it white i used foam tape at the back of this panel this is not going to be a shaker card just a window card so there is no acetate there and now i am going to place the to can and a couple of leaves that i have cut out using some foam squares to add dimension now notice that all the leaves have the same colors as the leaves that i have used to stamp my background i have already stamped my sentiment that says to can do it in the same craft paper as my main card base and i am going to add some gloss on his beak you can use glossy accents for that i am using Nuvo clear drops and although it looks milky at the moment it is going to dry completely clear and it is going to give a lovely shine on his beak and on his eye for my next card i am using the adorned ocean stamp set i am going to stamp 3 of the fish and this is a layering stamp set which means that i have a second layer for all those fish which is going to add a lovely detail on top of them and i went with green and orange and a yellow fish so since i am going to end up having a blue background i think these colors are going to pop nicely on top of it now i am applying VersaMarking on all the second layers of those fish and i am going to stamp on top of it so i end up having all three of them at once which is something that i could have done with the fish as well but i decided to go and stamp one at a time anyway i am going to apply white embossing powder and heat set it and then i am going to use the matching dies to cut out all the fish now there are so many different techniques to create a lovely underwater background but i decided to go super plain for this card and all i did was just using a dark blue colored cardstock i am just going to stamp at the bottom some of those corals and i am going to apply embossing powder this is green embossing powder which is going to be nice and bright at the bottom of my ocean i am going to heat set it and i am going to do just a little bit of inking on top of it with my Distress Oxide inks Oxide inks blend beautifully on top of dark cardstock and you will see how nicely it is going to turn out so i am just starting with the darkest color i am going to move on to the second color and the colors i am using here are actually faded jeans which is the darkest one my middle one is salty ocean and i will go all the way to the lightest one which is this one i believe it was tumbled glass but you will see that tumbled glass didn't go as bright as i wanted to on top of this cardstock and actually salty ocean is brighter than this so i will just forget about this color and move on to the middle color and now my ocean looks as if it is lighter at the top and darker at the bottom i am using a paper towel to remove all the excess on top of my glass since embossing powder resists Distress Oxide ink and my background is ready nice and simple i am going to stick my fish on top just playing around this side where everything is going to go and i am going to pop them up with foam squares to make it just a little bit more playful i am going to add a dot of glue on their eyes and i am going to use these tiny little googly eyes and just stick them on top i am going to stick this on top of a standard card thats 4.25 x 5.5 and i am going to stick my sentiment that i have already made this is just an embossed sentiment that says birthday fishes on top of black cardstock and my card is ready now let's make a really fun card probably one of my favorites from this set this is a stamp set that's called gill friends and i love that it has tiny little fish as well as little corals, sea grass and many more i am going to pick up a few of those and stamp them i am going to stamp them with black ink and color everything with my alcohol markers and then i am going to use my matching dies to cut out everything now i am going to play with these fun products to create an aquarium so i am going to cut out a window using this rectangle from the aquarium dieset and i am also going to use these 3 dies that cut out 3 panels out of craft cardstock now i am going to add some double sided tape around my pouch probably you can't see what i am doing there but i have a rectangle pouch that has been released by my favorite things that fits perfectly inside that window so you see in one of my shaker cards i used white glue and in this one i used double sided tape anything works really since they fit nicely inside those windows now i have a place where i am going to add all my fish and other aquarium elements but first i am going to add these panels on top and at the bottom of my window which is going to turn it looking as an aquarium now i have a rectangle that is going to fit nicely at the back of my aquarium and i am going to create my background for that i have masked off the bottom because i am planning to add my sand there so first i am going to ink up the top to look as if it is water just using this trace oxide ink there now i am splashing some water here that you can see and i am going to dab it off with a paper towel i am going to remove my masking and now i am going to place the masking at the top so that i have this bottom area where i can add my verse marking and then i am going to apply some embossing powder the embossing powder that i am using comes from a stampen to set that is perfect for creating beach themed cards it is called golden sand and you will find links down below now i am going to use the salty ocean ink pad and i am going to stamp some of the grass from the same stamp set to have a kind of a background for my aquarium so this is going to look as if it is far at the background and then when i stick my other elements on top they are going to look as if they are at the front so i give a little bit of depth on my composition i will check with my window to make sure that everything is going to fit nicely since the panel that i am working on at the time is slightly larger than the window opening that i have there and finally it is time to put all my fish and other elements on my aquarium so i am going to stick everything down with foam squares this is not going to be a shaker card everything is going to be stuck inside my aquarium but of course you can add elements to go up and down inside if you like but they look like bubbles i absolutely love the idea of creating an aquarium and i was so in love the first time i saw this release with that now i am putting everything down everything is ready to stick my panel on top but before i put these fish in my aquarium i am going to stick down some of those little bubbles they are going to look as air bubbles inside my aquarium and i am trying to use the tiniest ones so again these are not going to be shaker elements since they are stuck on top so here i have put everything together now i am sticking this panel on top of a standard card that is 4.25 x 5.5 and my card is ready all i have to do is to stamp the sentiment and i went with a simple sentiment that says thank you i think that is adorable and completes the card perfectly and hopefully you can see here all that i mentioned that i got inside my aquarium i absolutely love this card now for the next card i am going to use the stencil that creates the waves and i am moving the stencil towards the bottom slowly and every time i am using my blending tool to add my sea i am going to use 3 different colors of the stress oxide inks and as i move my stencil towards the bottom i will go ahead and use a darker shade of blue now i have to apologize because i didn't realize that my camera was completely out of focus hopefully you can see what i am doing i do realize it at some point before finishing this card so it is going to back to normal again but i am not going to delete this part of the video just because i want you to see the whole process of creating this beautiful background now just because it is quite blur you can't see but at the top of this sea background i have just actually the stencil and i penciled down a line of the edge of this stencil so i will use this line later on to cut out the top with my scissors you will see in a bit now i am cleaning my stencil making sure that i don't have any excess ink there and now i am going to use my heat can to make sure that all this ink is nice and dry because i am going to do some embossing on top so now i am going to follow that line that i have penciled down which you can see because it is quite blurry obviously but i am following this line with my VersaMark marker this is going to add a little bit of stickiness along this line and i am going to apply on top chunky white embossing powder and just because this is chunky embossing powder you need to heat set it from underneath otherwise it is going to fly all over the place now i am going to repeat the same process for some waves here and there not all over the place i am going to apply again chunky embossing powder and heat set everything and finally i am going to use my scissors and cut out all around the edge of the first top wave i used foam tape at the back and i am going to stick that on top of a standard card that is 4.25 x 5.5 now i stamped the pelican from the bitch bad stamp set and now i am going to color it not much coloring needed here just some shading around my pelican since he is white and i am just going to color his big with orange and i think he is holding a little octopus inside which i am going to go with purple i am actually working on bristol paper and using my zig clear color markers to color everything and i have already stamped my sentiment on my card that says i would cross the ocean for you i used the magic dye to cut out my pelican using some foam squares at the back and i am going to tuck him underneath the wave and i am going to finish off my card by adding some blue gems all around my sea for the last card i am going to play with one of the stencils that has been released i am going to apply some glimmer paste over it this is the geometric stars stencil and at the beginning i was thinking of creating an ombre looked card where i would start from darker go all the way to white glimmer paste but finally i decided to use just this panel that i am creating here so i am going to lift off the stencil let this dry and then i am just going to cut out a little panel out of it and the gorgeous color of shimmer paste that i am using is sapphire blue so i have my panel here nice and shiny i am going to add some tape adhesive at the back and i am going to embellish it a little bit with a thin stripe of silver cardstock this is mirror cardstock really shiny and it is a product by tonic studios i am going to add foam tape at the back of this panel and stick it on top of my card base and as you can see i have already cut out the word hello out of the same silver cardstock that i have cut out that thin strip of paper i have white glue at the back of my sentiment and i am just going to stick it on top going for a clean and simple looking card now and i am going to embellish my panel a little bit more by adding some crystals these are silver crystals and i am just going to add one of them inside different shapes of my stenciled area and this completes the last card for today here are some close up photos where you can hopefully see the shine and the beautiful design of the stencil now let's take a quick look on all the 8 cards that i made for today using products from the latest release by my favorite things i hope you had

Bizarre daily habits that may support heart health. You know, despite modern advancements, heart disease remains the number one most common disease among Americans, and it's the case of one in every five deaths. So what's the big problem? Well, 42% of Americans are officially obese. As I say, fat in your gut, you're out of luck. So belly fat contributes directly to heart health. As I explain in all of my books, and I'm going to spend even more time in the upcoming book, but it releases bacteria and bacterial particles into your bloodstream, and that sets up inflammation. Heart disease is not a problem of cholesterol. Heart disease is a problem of inflammation in blood vessels. Most people don't realize that statin drugs don't work by lowering your cholesterol. Statin drugs work by lowering the inflammation in your blood vessels, but there's lots of other easy ways to do it. So let's start with number one. Eat walnuts.  Not only does fat not make you fat, but fats in the form of walnuts or in olive oil actually benefit heart health. Walnuts are also a great source of a funny chemical called polyamines. I've written extensively about polyamines that have been shown to increase your overall health, your health span, and longevity. Now one of the miracle fats in walnuts is actually a short chain omega-3 fat called alpha-linolenic acid, abbreviated ALA, and I promise there won't be a test. ALA has been shown in numerous studies, including this one, but also in the Leone-Heart Diet Study, to dramatically lessen the incidence of coronary artery disease in people who have coronary artery disease. ALA is present in walnuts. It's present in flax seeds. It's present in organic canola oil. But it's present in my favorite oil for ALA, perilla oil. So any way you can get ALA into your diet, including walnuts, that's what to do. Now alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid. What does that mean? It means we don't manufacture it, but we have to have it to properly function cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes.  All right, number two, take a shot of extra virgin olive oil. Now there are multiple studies showing the benefit of extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is a great way of getting polyphenols into your system. Polyphenols actually interact extremely well with blood vessels, and in fact I've written several papers showing the benefit of polyphenols on arterial health, on stickiness of blood vessels, and in allowing blood vessel flexibility. There's a saying in longevity that you are only as young as your blood vessels are flexible, and so polyphenols, particularly in olive oil, are one of the great ways to do it. Multiple areas of the blue zones, for instance in Crete, Italy, in Sardinia, and even in Aciaroli, south of Naples, all use about a liter of olive oil per week. Now they even have olive oil soup in Crete. There's some fantastic polyphenols in olive oil. One of the best is hydroxy tyrosol. It's a powerful polyphenol that can have huge beneficial heart health benefits. I actually performed a science experiment showing this right here on my YouTube channel. Check it out, it's incredibly eye-opening. And once again, fat is not your enemy. So I recommend everyone should try to consume about a liter of olive oil per week like they do in Crete. But to make it easy, have a shot of olive oil every day. Bring olive oil to the table, pour it on your meats, your chicken, your fish, pour it on your vegetables, pour it on your ice cream. Number three, now this one sounds like almost a non-starter, but bear with me. Swallow a whole clove of garlic. Now there's a compound in raw garlic called allicin. Garlic oral administration of allicin lowered blood pressure in hypertensive rats. If you cook garlic, it's inactivated, sorry about that. So swallow it whole or use aged garlic extracts. Now garlic is actually well known as being great for your immune health. Now since you're swallowing garlic whole, you won't get that potent garlic breath. So it's a win-win. So how do you do it? Just peel the clove of garlic. I personally like to roll it in olive oil, pop it in your mouth and swallow it. The olive oil makes it slippery and it goes right on down. Number four, your microbiome, your gut begins at your mouth and your oral microbiome and your oral health is really just as important as your gut microbiome in terms of heart health. Heart disease begins in the mouth and gums.  In fact, people with gum disease have two to three times the risk of having a heart attack stroke or other serious cardiovascular event. Believe it or not, when I'm doing surgery and we've actually looked at the plaque that we take out of people when we do bypass surgery, these plaques have been shown to contain oral bacteria and how they get in there, it came from your mouth. So the benefits of brushing and flossing go way beyond fresh breath. Also speaking of fresh breath, most commercial mouthwashers destroy your oral microbiome and actually raise your blood pressure, exactly what you don't want to do. So instead of mouthwashing, use oil pulling and you'll get great results. In fact, I actually talk about this on episode 221 with Dr. Puneet Nanda, aka Dr. Fresh. It's great watching and it's very entertaining to hear his story. Last but not least, cheese please. Now recently big news was made with a study out of Norway looking at people with stable angina. Stable angina means that these people had coronary artery disease and if they did too much activity, if they walked too fast, if they exercised too fast, they got chest pain. Angina. When they stopped doing that, the chest pain went away and it was predictable. This is called stable angina. Now what they did was they looked at the effect of dairy consumption, butter consumption and cheese consumption on what happened to these people's stable angina. Now what made the news was that dairy and butter dramatically worsened stable angina. In other words, they went on to have heart attacks or needed stents. But what was not mentioned was the fact that the more cheese people ate, the better their angina got. It went away. Well, I've written extensively about this in Unlocking the Keto Code and I'm going into it even more in the upcoming book. Cheese has fascinating products that improve heart health in multiple areas. Interestingly enough, four out of the five blue zones actually are blue zones because they eat goat and sheep cheeses. The fermentation process of making cheese produces very important compounds that actually protect against heart disease, having nothing to do with cholesterol. Now, no, you can't eat nachos in cheese sauce or other highly processed cheeses. If you're going to have cheeses, look for the fact that they're made out of casein A2. These are most cheeses in France, most cheeses in Italy. All goat and sheep cheeses and water buffalo cheeses are casein A2. So enjoy your cheeses, the right cheeses please. Finally, exercise snacking. Now everyone knows that regular exercise is absolutely essential for heart health, but that doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym every week. Instead, try exercise snacking. It's super easy, fun, and great for even the busiest of people like me. So what do you do? Wall sit.  Now this is hard to do. This is how I get ready for ski season. So don't give up. Just sit against a wall for as long as you can before your quadriceps are screaming. And then try to push it a little bit longer every day. Get to two minutes and you'll be shot at the benefit of wall sitting. Couch planks. Get off the couch in a commercial and just do a plank against the couch. It's really easy, it's effortless. My personal favorite, do deep knee bends when you're brushing your teeth. Come on folks, you're not doing anything else twice a day, just do deep knee bends while brushing your teeth. Kind of time your brushing with your deep knee bending. Walk and talk. Instead of taking a call at your desk, get up, carry the phone with you, and walk around the office. Walk down the hall instead of just sitting there talking. It's also incredible for your overall health, including your heart. It's really the most underestimated form of exercise. Go out and walk every single day and you'll notice better health, more energy, and a slimmer waistline. And that's what I tell all my patients, please get a dog. A dog will demand a walk twice a day and it'll get you out as well. I think you're going to love this one. If you're enjoying potatoes in any form, you're accumulating a hefty helping of these toxins. This can contribute to serious health issues.


So you just don't know how to work from behind. Not a problem. This one took me a while to figure out, but basically when target is set to behind, it will only apply the action to things that are behind the face that you have selected. So if we click here, it will affect everything because everything is behind this face. But if we click over here, you will notice that it only affects the faces behind the face that I clicked.  And it depends on the orientation of the face you clicked, not the camera. So if we click here, it'll affect these, but if we click there, it'll affect those. So if you wanna tell ZBrush, hey, only mask the points behind this face, just do it like this, then bam, you're done. Hope that helps, and as always, hope you have a fantastic day. Now, see you around.
