Hi, everyone. Welcome to Esmeraldae. My name is Yosserman Jaffee. I am the Director of Systems Engineering for Esmeral at HPE. Today, we're here and joined by my colleague, Don Wake, who is a technical marketing engineer who will talk to us about the day and the life of an IT administrator through the lens of Esmeral Container Platform. We'll be answering your questions in real time, so if you have any questions, please feel free to put your questions in the chat. We should have some time at the end for some live Q&A. Don, why don't you go ahead and kick us off? All right, thanks a lot, Yosserman. Yeah, my name is Don Wake. I'm the tech marketing guy. And welcome to Esmeraldae, day in the life of an IT admin and Happy St. Patrick's Day at the same time. I hope you're wearing green, virtual pinch if you're not wearing green. You don't have to look that up if you don't know what I'm talking about. So we're just going to go through some quick things, talk about discussion of modern business IT needs, kind of set the stage and go right into a demo. So what is the need here that we're trying to fulfill with Esmeral Container Platform? It's all rooted in analytics. Modern businesses are driven by data. They are also application centric and the separation of applications and data has never been more important or the relationship between the two applications are very data hungry these days. They consume data in all new ways. The applications themselves are virtualized, containerized, and distributed everywhere and optimizing every decision and every application has become a huge problem to tackle for every enterprise. So we look at, for example, data science as one big use case here and it's really a team sport. And I'm today wearing the hat of perhaps operations team, maybe software engineer guy working on continuous integration, continuous development, integration with source control and I'm supporting these data scientists, data analysts and I also have some resource control. I can decide whether or not the data science team gets a particular cluster of compute and storage so that they can do their work. So this is the solution that I've been given as an IT admin and that is the Esmeral container platform. And just walking through this real quick, at the top I'm trying to, as wherever possible, not get involved in these guys' lives. So the data engineers, scientists, app developers, DevOps guys, they all have particular needs and they can access their resources and spin up clusters or just do work with a Jupyter notebook or run Spark or Kafka or any of the popular analytics platforms by just getting end points that we can provide to them, web URLs and their self-service. But in the back end I can then, as the IT guy, make sure the Kubernetes clusters are up and running. I can assign particular access to particular roles. I can make sure the data's well protected and I can connect them. I can import clusters from public clouds. I can put my clusters on premise if I want to and I can do all this through this centralized control plane. So today I'm just going to show you, I'm supporting some data scientists. One of our very own guys is actually doing a demo right now as well called the Day in the Life of the Data Scientist. He's on the opposite side, not caring about all the stuff I'm doing in the back end and he's training models and registering the models and working with data inside his Jupyter notebook, running inferences, running postman scripts. And so I'm in the background here making sure that he's got access to his cluster, storage is protected, make sure his training models are up, he's got service end points, connecting him to his source control and making sure he's got access to all that stuff. So he's got like a taxi ride prediction model that he's working on and he has a Jupyter notebook and models. So why don't we get hands on and I'll just jump right over to the Esmeral container platform. So this is a web UI. So this is the interface into the container platform, our centralized control plane. I'm using my Active Directory credentials to log in here and when I log in, I've also been assigned a particular role with regard to how much of the resources I can access. Now, in my case, I'm a site admin. You can see right up here in the upper right hand, I'm a site admin and I have access to lots and lots of resources. And the one I'm going to be focusing on today is a Kubernetes cluster. So I have a cluster. I can go in here and let's say we have a new data scientist come on board one and I can give him his own resources so he can do whatever he wants, use some GPUs and not affect other clusters. So we have all these other clusters already created here. You can see here that this is a very busy production system. They've got some dev clusters over here. I see here we have a production cluster. So he needs to produce something for data scientists to use. It has to be well protected and not be treated like a development resource. So under his production cluster, I decided to create a new Kubernetes cluster and literally I just push a button, create Kubernetes cluster. Once I've done that, and I'll just show you some of the screens and this is a live environment. So this is, I could actually do it. All my hosts are used up right now, but I would be able to go in here and give it a name. Just select some hosts to use as the primary master controller and some workers, answer a few more questions. And then once that's done, I have now created a special and a whole nother Kubernetes cluster that I could also create tenants from. So tenants are really Kubernetes namespaces. So in addition to taking hosts and creating Kubernetes clusters, I can also go to existing clusters and now carve out a namespace from that. So I look at some of the clusters that were already created and let's see, we've got this here is an example of a tenant that I could have created from that production cluster. And to do that here in the namespace, I just hit create. And similar to how you create a cluster, you can now carve down from a given cluster and we'll say the production cluster and give it a name and a description. I can even tell it, I want this specific one to be an AIML project, which really is our MLOps license. So at the end of the day, I can say, okay, I'm going to create an MLOps tenant from that cluster that I created. And so I've already created it here for this demo. And I'm going to just go into that Kubernetes namespace now that we also call a tenant. I mean, it's like multi-tenancy. The name essentially means we're carving out resources so that somebody can be isolated from another environment. First thing I typically do, and at this point, I could also give access to this tenant and only this tenant to my data scientist. So the first thing I typically do is I go in here and you can actually assign the users right here. So right now it's just me. But if I wanted to, for example, give this to Terry, I could go in here and find another user and assign him from this list as long as he's got the proper credentials here. So you can see here all these other users have Active Directory credentials. And they, when we created the cluster itself, we also made sure it integrated with our Active Directory so that only authorized users can get in there. Let's say the first thing I want to do is make sure when I do Jupyter notebook work, or when Terry does, I'm going to connect him up straight up to the GitHub repository. So he gives me a link to GitHub and says, hey, man, this is all of my cluster work that I've been doing. I've got my source control there, my scripts, my Python notebooks, my Jupyter notebooks. So when I create that, I simply give him, he gives me his, I create a configuration. I say, okay, here's a Git repo. Here's the link to it. I can use a token. Here's his username and I can now put in that token. So this is actually a private repo and using a token standard Git interface. And then the cool thing after that, you can go in here and actually copy the authorization secret. And this gets into the Kubernetes world. If you want to make sure you have secure integration with things like your source control or perhaps your Active Directory, that's all maintained in secrets. So you can take that secret and when I then create his notebook, I can put that secret right in here in this launch YAML. And I say, hey, connect this Jupyter notebook up with this secret so he can log in. And when I've launched this Jupyter notebook cluster, this is actually now within my Kubernetes tenant. It is now really a pod. And if I want to, I can go right into a terminal for that Kubernetes tenant and say kubectl, these are standard, CNCF certified Kubernetes Git pods. And when I do this, it'll tell me all of the active pods and within those pods, the containers that I'm running. So I'm running quite a few pods and containers here in this artificial intelligence machine learning tenant. So that's kind of cool. Also, if I wanted to, I could go straight and I can download the config for Kubernetes control kubectl and then I can do something like this. We're on my own system where I'm more comfortable perhaps kubectl Git pods. So this is running on my laptop and I just had to do a kubectl refresh and give the IP address and authorization information in order to connect from my laptop to that endpoint. So from a CICD perspective, from an IT admin guide, he usually wants to use tools right on his desktop. So here I'm back in my web browser. I'm also here on the dashboard of this Kubernetes tenant and I can see how it's doing. Looks like it's kind of busy here. I can focus specifically on a pod if I want to. I happen to know this pod is my Jupyter Notebook pod. So why don't I show how I could enable my data scientists by just giving him the URL or what we call Notebook Service Endpoints or Notebook Endpoint and just by clicking on the sent URL or copying it. It's a link and then emailing it to him and say, okay, here's your Jupyter Notebook. And I say, hey, just log in with your credentials. I've already logged in. And so then he's got his Jupyter Notebook here and you can see that he's connected to his GitHub repo directly. He's got all of the files that he needs to run his data science project. And within here, and this is really in the data scientist realm, he can see that he can have access to centralized storage and he can copy the files from his GitHub repo to that centralized storage and these commands are kind of cool. They're little Jupyter magic commands and we've got some of our own that show the attachment to the cluster. But you can see here, if you run these commands, they're actually looking at the shared project repository managed by the container platform. So just to show you that again, I'll go back to container platform. And in fact, the data scientist could do the same thing. Back to platform. So here's this project repository. So this is another big point. So now putting on my storage admin hat, you know, I've got this shared storage volume that is managed for me by the Esmeralda data fabric. And in here, you can see that the data scientist from his Git repo is able to, through Jupyter Notebook, directly copy his code. He was able to run his Jupyter Notebook and create this XGBoost model. So this file can then be registered in this AIML tenant. And so he can go in here and register his model.  So here again, another URL that you could then take this and put it into like a Postman REST URL and get answers. But let's say he wants to, he's been doing all this work and I want to make sure that his data is protected. How about creating a mirror? So if I want to create a mirror of that data, now I go back to this other, and this is the data fabric embedded in a very special cluster called a Picasso cluster. And it's a version of the Esmeralda data fabric that allows you to launch what was formerly called MapR as a Kubernetes cluster.  It's automatically managed by this data fabric and you're even given an endpoint to go into the data fabric and then use all of the awesome features of Esmeralda data fabric. So here I can just log in here. And now I'm at the data fabric web UI to do some data protection and mirroring. So let's go over here. Let's say I want to create a mirror of that tenant. So I forgot to note what the name of my tenant was. I'm going to go back to my tenant, the name of the volume that I'm playing with here. So in my AIML tenant, I'm going to go to my source control, my project repository that I want to protect. And I see that the Esmeralda data fabric has created tenant 30 as a volume. So I'll go back to my data fabric here and I'm going to look for tenant 30. And if I want to, I can go into tenant 30. And down here I can look at the usage. I can look at all of the, you know, I've used very little of the allocated storage that I want, but let's, you know what? Let's go ahead and create a volume to mirror that one. So very simple web UI that I said create volume. I go in here and I want to do a tenant 30 mirror. And I say mirror the mirror volume. I want to use my Picasso cluster. I want to use tenant 30. So now it's actually looking up in the data fabric database. There's tenant 30. Okay. So it knows exactly which one I want to use. And I can go in here and I can say, you know, EXT, HTTP, tenant 30 mirror. You know, I can give it whatever name I want. And this path here, and that's a whole another demo is this could be in Tokyo. This could be mirrored to all kinds of places all over the world because this is truly a global namespace, which is a huge differentiator for us. In this case, I'm creating a local mirror. And I can go down here and I can add an audit and encryptions. I can do access control.  And of course, this is using the web UI, but there's also REST API interfaces as well. So that is pretty much the brunt of what I wanted to show you in the demo. So we got hands on. And I'm just going to throw this up real quick and then come back to Yasser, see if he's got any questions he has received from anybody watching. If you have any new questions. Yeah, we've got a few questions. We can just take some time to go, hopefully, answer a few. So it does look like you can integrate or incorporate your existing GitHub to be able to extract a shared code or repositories. Correct? Yeah, so we have that built in. It can either be GitHub or Bitbucket. It's, you know, a pretty standard interface. So just like you can go into any given GitHub and do a clone of a repo, pull it into your local environment. We integrated that directly into the GUI so that you can say to your AIML tenant, to your Jupyter Notebook, you know, here's my GitHub repo. When you open up my notebook, just connect me straight up. So it saves you some steps there. Because Jupyter Notebook is designed to be integrated with GitHub. So we have GitHub integrated in as well or Bitbucket. Great. Another question around the file system. Has the MapR file system that was carried over been modified in any way to run on top of Kubernetes? So yeah, I would say that the MapR file system, data fabric, what I showed here is the Kubernetes version of it. So it gives you a lot of the same features. But if you need perhaps run it on bare metal, maybe you have performance concerns. You can also deploy it as a separate bare metal instance of data fabric. But this is just one way that you can use it integrated directly into Kubernetes. Depends upon really the needs of the user. And data fabric has a lot of different capabilities. But this has a lot of the core file system capabilities where you can do snapshots and mirrors and it is of course striped across multiple disks and nodes. And MapR data fabric has been around for years. It's designed for integration with these analytic type workloads. Great. You showed us how you can manage Kubernetes clusters through the Ezmeral Container Platform UI. The question is, can you control who accesses which tenant, I guess, namespace that you created? And also, can you restrict or inject resource limitations for each individual namespace through the UI? Oh yeah, so that's a great question. Yes to both of those. So as the site admin, I had lots of authority to create clusters to go into any cluster I wanted. But typically for like the data scientist example I used, I would give him, I would create a user for him. And there's a couple of ways you can create users. And it's all role based access control. So I could create a local user and have a container platform authenticate him. Or I can say integrate directly with Active Directory or LDAP. And then even including which groups he has access to. And then in the user interface for the site admin, I could say he gets access to this tenant. And only this tenant. Another thing you asked about is limitations. So when you create the tenant to prevent that noisy neighbor problem, you can go in and create quotas. So I didn't show the process of actually creating a tenant, but integral to that flow is okay, I've defined which cluster I want to use. I've defined how much memory I want to use. So there's the quota right there. You could say, hey, how many CPUs am I taking from this pool? And that's one of the cool things about the platform is that it abstracts all that away. You don't have to really know exactly which host. You can create the cluster and select specific hosts, but once you've created the cluster, it's not just a big pool of resources. So you can say Bob over here, he's only gonna get 50 of the 100 CPUs available. And he's only gonna get X amount of gigabytes of memory. And he's only gonna get this much storage that he can consume. So you can then safely hand off something and know they're not gonna take all the resources, especially the GPUs where those will be expensive and you want to make sure that one person doesn't hog all the resources. And so that absolutely quotas are built in there. Fantastic. Well, I think we are out of time. We have a list of other questions that we will absolutely reach out and then get all of your questions answered for those of you who ask questions in the chat. Don, thank you very much. Thanks everyone else for joining. Don, will this recording be made available for those who couldn't make it today? I believe so. Honestly, I'm not sure what the process is, but yeah, it's being recorded. So they must have done that for a reason. Fantastic. Well, Don, thank you very much for your time and thank everyone else for joining. Thank you.


Welcome back to Drinks Made Easy because cocktails don't have to be complicated. Today we're taking a look at a cocktail that was very popular in the 80s and that I'm seeing ordered a lot at my bar now in 2022 and that is the espresso martini. Now there is some debate as to where this particular cocktail came from given that the central ingredient of coffee liqueur, today we're using colub, but there's a bunch of other ones, came to the US in the 1940s.  Seems like a good story, but you know, barmen love to make up stories. Anyway, without any further ado, let's make a cocktail. To build the espresso martini, we'll start with 2 ounces of the vodka of your choice. Next we will add 1 ounce of fresh espresso, or you can also use 1 ounce of concentrated cold brew. Next we're going to add half an ounce of coffee liqueur, in this case we're using Kahlua, but you can use whatever coffee liqueur you choose. And next we reach the point where people might diverge in the recipe. We're going to use half an ounce of simple syrup, but if you're someone who finds that this is going to be too sweet if you already know that you like espresso martinis, hold off on this. If you're not sure, I recommend adding the simple syrup and seeing what you think. Next we're going to cap it off into a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. Strain into the martini glass or coupe of your choice and garnish with 3 espresso or coffee beans on top. And there you have the espresso martini. That to me is quite delicious. The vodka basically gets hidden by all that great coffee liqueur flavor and this to me is not overly sweet. Now I know some people watch this probably going to say, Paul, what are you talking about that's way too sweet for your palette? Just remember that. With cocktails, there's always at least three ways to make any particular cocktail. The classic way, the modern way, and your way.  Cheers when drinks made easy.  We need to come up with a better one for the city.


So this is now time for our second session of this one hour session and very much looking forward to this one. I think it's going to be quite interactive so I'm just sharing your slides now you should be able to see those. Thank you. Okay so without further ado let me hand over to Louis. Okay thank you very much for joining this session and thank you very much to Alt for accepting my proposal. So this is about a pre-covid trial or pilot that got cut short in March. We were trying out hybrid delivery of academic writing workshops and but in the long run it proved to be quite useful so I should be honest I am not a learning technologist and I'm definitely not an expert in hybrid delivery in any form. I'm an academic writing tutor who happens to be very enthusiastic about using technology however we can to support learning and we thought we'd have a go. I mean I'm lucky enough to be in the team who thought we'll have a go at this. So I work in a very small unit within the UCL Institute of Education so that's a faculty within University College London, the Academic Writing Centre and I've also got responsibility for our online digital provision although I don't have responsibility now for everything we do that's online. Okay so about this session sorry just trying to move my slide yep there we go so I'm going to tell you a little bit about the hybrid trial that we tried. Something about the context and rationale and as I say very much from a practitioner perspective so I'll tell you a bit about what we did and then I'll share with you some student feedback from both the face-to-face and online participants. When we get to the reflections and discussion hopefully there'll be time for a short breakout group discussion on this because I'm expecting the audience here to know quite a bit a lot about this and perhaps or quite likely more than I do so I'm hoping to learn from your perspectives and take critical feedback and suggestions as well as questions but before we start sorry actually the poll sorry I'm getting mixed up the poll sorry it's the next part so just to start with I don't want to patronize people with definitions of hybrid because I'm sure you know and I'm probably stating the obvious but these are the definitions that we we referred to when we started out so in particular Jesse Stommel's explanation of hybrid and as he says at the basic level it can be seen as learning that happens both in the classroom and or other physical space and online however as you probably know he goes on to suggest that hybrid pedagogy challenges our conception of place as presence as Nathan and David were just saying and that it's not just about an easy mix that it's that it can bring about learning that happens in new ways than perhaps more engaged and dynamic conversations which was something that appealed to us in particular. I think Nathan and David also mentioned Australian work on this and so we did look to Bower et al's case studies on blended synchronous which is what it was called and they were very helpful to look at although we didn't find any of the case studies were particularly similar to our contacts but nevertheless they were inspiring. Okay so before we proceed I've got a little poll that I think is ready just a quick question and you can answer this so are you currently involved here it is yeah are you or have you been involved in hybrid provision and the possible answers are yes no not sure yet thank you very much yes I guess the not sure yet might mean I may well be but don't know yet thank you for sharing that so that's interesting so a majority of people here have been or are involved in hybrid delivery so it'd be interesting to hear what you have to say a bit later okay I'm going to hide the poll now thank you so moving on to so firstly I'll tell you a little bit about our context so who are the Institute of Education students so that's the faculty that I work in anybody who's just joined who are the students or particularly who are the ones that opt to come to the academic writing centre because although all of them and that's now about 8,300 are enrolled on our Moodle because they're auto-enrolled we only see a fraction of them so they are mostly on postgraduate taught courses for example masters in education and related disciplines or teacher training courses but also doctoral programs and increasingly undergraduate approximately one third are classified as international students and of the home students many are part-time or working full-time in education alongside their studies so teachers teaching assistants special educational needs coordinators headteachers sometimes and so on and a very significant proportion are mature students returning to higher education so the job of the academic writing centre is to offer a range of academic writing development opportunities to those that would like to take take this up so what are our general approaches to doing this whether it's face-to-face or online or hybrid well we follow and what's known as an academic literacies approach which recognizes the complexity and discipline or program specific nature of academic writing so we avoid what could be seen as what we would see as oversimplistic and prescriptive writing solutions so it's not what is sometimes known as a study skills model or one that sees the development of writing as related to language necessarily or a deficiency in the student so it's not that the students can't do it it's that the students are moving from one discipline to another or one context to another or even between modules and and and that can be challenging in terms of the writing requirements or norms okay so in that way it's very much about shared investigation critical critically examining examples of academic writing it's social and dialogic and this is relevant to doing it in a hybrid context because what we what we prefer is loud classes where where it's more about student involvement and there's much more student talking time than facilitator or tutor talking time and as I say we're we're we see ourselves as facilitators rather than you know we that's sort of two well we are tutors but we are mainly facilitators who set things up so in terms of you might be familiar with diane larrellad's six learning types there's not really that much acquisition students will tend to do that so the reading the preparation etc they'll tend to do that before or after the session there we try to have sessions where there's active inquiry so for example students looking at sample writing plenty of discussion so for instance arguing and debating or questioning writing practices and lots of collaboration there are some examples in the appendix to these slides so why did we decide to try hybrid so um I'll tell you in a minute but we we we well I'll tell you the time frame in a minute but um so firstly it was a practical thing it was to overcome barriers to provision and and accessibility really so we couldn't get any any more classrooms and we wanted to increase our capacity in fact there was some pressure to increase our capacity we also wanted to provide more opportunities for students who were class distance students and so we were off we are and we do offer we did offer webinars um but we thought well if we sometimes we've got teaching rooms um smaller teaching rooms but it'll be nice if the online participants could join and uh and we could get the online and campus based students um together um working together and um we also noticed a change in student demographics although that might just be our experience of the people that decided to come to the um academic writing students so particular in particular commuter students um um or you know and students who uh maybe came to campus one day a week for their main course but really didn't have time to come in another day or an evening or whatever so that was another reason so further um inspiration uh came from our colleagues in the UCL um knowledge lab and we consulted them so we actually attended some sessions that were essentially hybrid quite a while back and we thought well why can't we do this I'm sure we can do this these sessions were more talks and panel discussions where there was a presenter and then like like this type of session or like the sessions here um rather than workshops so we did consult the knowledge lab and so well how do you think we could do this um we were very inspired by uh Jesse Stommel's um hybrid pedagogy and the case studies um that I just mentioned from Australia um we were also very interested in and inspired by research by Leslie Gawley who happened to be our line manager at the time and Martin Oliver into how students uh engage with the digital university so um devices they're using and I'm sure there's lots of other research out there that looks at this um how and where uh they're studying you know in the park um uh on the move in the bath even I remember one example from that book and this actually resonated not the bath part but this resonated with me also as a former open university student and full-time parent and uh some of the stories there really I thought yes that's exactly how I felt um about uh well I didn't have to as an open university student I didn't have to attend anything live and or sorry anything um on campus um and uh that not live but that was um a great advantage um and the opportunity to just pop in and finally there was um a strategic objective to uh uh to you know to bring um connect students with each other and we interpreted that as yeah students who were on campus and students who were across the world distant students although I can't really say that the uh digital infrastructure was always there at the early stage um to uh to support that but however um uh we were very lucky that we found um an audiovisual um support colleague who who was um very who helped us with that okay so um our pilot um how did we do this uh it started officially in October 2019 or um although two of us have been dabbling with hybrid for a few months and you know making a lot of mistakes between October and March before um we had to stop uh we ran 27 hybrid sessions mainly writing what workshops but also um all day um writing retreats and so I should um it's quite important to say that the this was opt-in and this was run alongside um other um other provision other opt-in and um provisions such as webinars um asynchronous um tutorials etc and then program specific embedded writing support which was also included uh hybrid but it was quite done in quite a different way um the numbers aren't huge but um we had uh 304 um hybrid attendances but that they were 304 extra attendances um so yes more people would come to face-to-face sessions only but these were 304 people who um who wouldn't have come to the face-to-clay so they joined a face-to-face in in a sense so um yeah um uh yeah so how um how how exact you know how in in terms of um how how we went about it so this was uh Blackboard Collaborate uh so the physical classroom and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra which is where we are now uh we did it um this was a bit contentious but we did it with just one tutor facilitator with some um audio visual support um that wasn't um all together popular but if we'd put two of us then it would have defeated the object of increasing capacity we couldn't get more tutors so um our aim was to uh to get just get more students joining who couldn't otherwise join um the in terms of what the students um did the Collaborate Screen was visible to the face-to-face participants and we made full use um sometimes not quite chaotically our initial of chat um these the face-to-face students could see the the chat on the screen they could see the uh online participants typing and drawing um uh we use breakouts so when when the face-to-face students went into uh breakout groups the online so went into small groups the breakout uh we use breakout groups for the online uh participants and we use polls screen sharing etc um we tried to um get the the campus-based students and the online participants together as much as possible using microphone and camera where we could um i'm not saying we did always did it that well but importantly uh we told the students that this was something we were trialing um and if they preferred not to attend these sessions they could go to face-to-face um sessions or just webinars if they preferred so um we invited students to give anonymous feedback after each session so um online for the participant the online participants did it um in the moodle feedback and the face-to-face actually did it in um on post-its um uh for a while which we collected and here are some um some examples so many comments were from students who appeared to be london-based or relatively close um but who appreciated uh being able to attend uh the face-to-face session online so not having to come in okay um the second quote is from a student who attended a hybrid writing um session and seemed very pleased to be able to connect with other student writers and um that we also got some uh quite a lot of suggestions and particularly in relation to great breakout groups which we found quite heartening um you know could they be longer please um um that that was quite um common um even if they took a little while to get um to get going um uh excuse me um we had expected the face-to-face participants to be less satisfied but many were quite enthusiastic and had some additional suggestions um so for example um this one uh the first one um would have liked to have been able to join the um collaborate chat and use the other um collaborate uh sorry bstc should that black will collaborate interactive tools um as a face-to-face student so we didn't do that initially um and probably lack of administration and time to set that up but it's easily done and we think we would definitely do that next time um and a lot of online students mentioned the convenience of being able to attend um while doing something else even if it was just part of the session and they couldn't necessarily participate in ways that might have been expected so um what we found interesting was the patterns of engagement were becoming more complex um but arguably interesting and I think again David and Nathan have just referred to that um uh in in terms of what we what we consider attendance and um engagement so uh quite a lot of students seem to be engaging but you know I particularly liked the last one I thought that was great you know sorry but it was brilliant my baby stayed asleep for the whole two hours that that's why I couldn't talk or and I wasn't really able to to type much but I found it really useful so anyway so I probably shared the positive feedback but there were also um it's particularly initially um some some uh very helpful um suggestions but broadly it was quite um quite uh positive so excuse me um these are some of the uh the reflections that uh that that I have and that I've sort of thought that are worth discussing but I'm sure there are um many more so we'll be back on campus no earlier than January and then the academic writing centre will probably only get a classroom for half a day um if we get anything we may we may still be um working fully online we're not poor position provision so we don't um get priority which is you know fine as well um so we expect the ratio of when we do go back to the hybrid we expect the ratio of online and face-to-face attendances to uh to change and maybe in a good way so um and of course there where they'll continue to be more asynchronous provision that is uh what the university is suggesting but we still get quite a few requests and feedback um ongoing student feedback does suggest that they appreciate um synchronous um sessions too so we want to offer um both um in terms of developing and improving our hybrid workshops we've still got a lot to learn um you know particularly how to make them interactive and dialogic but not always chaotic um and I wonder what um considerations um you think we need to you know hear in order to improve that and perhaps you've got examples of good practice that we could learn from um a question that um was asked by some of my colleagues were you know how they're two cohorts I don't actually agree that they're two cohorts I think it's a new kind of cohort or perhaps several perhaps we can think about think of it differently but you know how how um uh how to um uh how to sort of join the the two the two excuse me uh two cohorts and you know I agree with um uh Jesse Stommel that it's not an easy mix or a straightforward mix so any ideas on that and and again um as was mentioned in the previous session you know complexity in engagement patterns so what do we um consider to be active participation um to what extent is it okay if people drop in and out etc um you know how do how do we manage that what should we expect so um looking at the time I think there is uh time for a breakout groups if that's okay um and I think it was agreed that I was going to set these up so if that's okay with people I'm gonna uh breakout groups here we go uh number of groups so there are 41 participants so if we go for eight eight groups uh randomly randomly assigned uh yep yeah I think it includes the moderators but I guess you can take yourselves out if you want to um so that'll be um so five minutes if that's okay everybody to discuss your experiences of hybrid your recommendations your suggestions anything that um you've got to share and so we'll come back in five minutes um abruptly if that if that's okay um so is that okay if I start that yeah thank you very much yeah we'll stop it after five minutes thank you hi there let me know if you need help getting people back hi Martin no um just for five minutes and I've randomly moved people around groups as well brilliant um sorry I hope that's okay that I came back to the main room um sorry yep not a problem at all yeah because I thought I'm kind of eavesdropping um yeah I noticed a lot of people left when we did the breakout group so maybe it wasn't the best idea I just thought I'll try it yeah um I my general experience of people as soon as you give the prospect of people actually having yeah okay they decided to drop it out but um um but I think it's in terms of interacting with the dimension I think it's actually a good thing so um I'm glad I came to sort of take it for you sorry I can't can't hear you very well actually but oh that might be my microphone yep you're a little bit muscly Martin okay so I think there's another two minutes on the breakout room is that okay I mean yeah I wonder if okay so some microphones are moving but not that many so I'm wondering whether to bring people back what do you think or is that um I think I just because we said yeah we said five minutes I think it's only it's only one minute short of what we said yeah you're right fine yeah that's all right yeah oh sorry are you agreeing to bring them back yeah yeah yeah okay I think everybody's back in the main room so um are there any questions or any any uh feedback um observations suggestions and and you know I'm quite happy for people to to take the microphone here if that's okay oh that's interesting a couple of people said needed longer uh yeah good point yeah if you do have any questions and we'd like to ask over the microphone if you raise your hand then we can activate your microphone for you or alternatively you can put them into the chat actually um interesting what um Sandra says about it being abrupt so that's something that um yeah it seems to happen it um unless we go into the different groups and say right we're we're bringing you back now so um so in the classes we'll sort of say well you will get transported back very abruptly abrupt is the word we use that's why um it's something that I sort of learned quite quickly was to to um ask the groups to time to time themselves and uh it was too short to make connections yeah sorry about that hopefully that can continue yeah yeah so so Sandra says maybe some of our on campus students did not want to learn online and this this hindered their adoption of hybrid yeah okay that's interesting about a nice thing about zoom is that there's a one minute reminder okay that's default great because we're getting zoom at UCL okay if there aren't any questions then um thank you very much for for joining and participating and um my email's address is there if you've got anything else that you want to suggest or ask me about thanks very much well thank you so much Louise if we could all give Louise a big round of applause um over our chat function that would be absolutely fantastic I really enjoyed that and like the interactivity as well so thank you so much for that presentation and of course uh our recordings um are on the resources page of the platform and the articulating all of the slides that you've been provided with from our presenters to put them on there as well um so that brings this session to a close um and the program now has a short break where you can go to the virtual cafe on your lunch if you would like to uh you can use a social bingo uh you can have a look at the participant directory all the jobs board and then we kick back off at three o'clock with a keynote from uh Bonnie's chip and Dave Cormier so once again thank you so much Louise and everybody um have a lovely rest of the summit


Patriot Prime Reviews is a channel for adult collectors and may not be suitable for children under 13 years of age. Viewer discretion is advised. Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with my annual Top 10 Figures of the Year list. But first, Happy New Year! I for one cannot wait to see 2020 in my rearview mirror and welcome 2021 with open arms.  And thank you so much if you're watching this premiere tonight, New Year's Eve, and spending time with me instead of watching the ball drop. So thank you very much. Now that being said, big milestone the other day, I reached 7,500 subscribers. So thank you guys so much. And my buddy Firetox sent this to me. This is the Golden Roller Award for 7,500 subs. That is so cool. Firetox makes these 3D printed weapons and accessories and they are awesome. If you have a 3D printer, you can go on his website and download these for free. And if you don't have a printer, contact him on Facebook and he can probably get you one made up and sent out. Not only does he make these awesome golden rollers for your awards, he makes the black and red nemesis roller, the green and black toxic roller, old school blue roller, a glow in the dark roller, a Joker roller, and for the ladies, a pink roller. So check out Firetox designs. He makes some awesome stuff. You're probably going to see some of his weapons and accessories on some of these figures that have conveniently all out of camera shot that I'm going to go over with my list. Now how these work is before I hit the top 10, I've got to go over my bottom five. And these five are not really bad figures per se, but they are ones I was really disappointed in. I'm looking forward to getting these guys, getting them out of the package, start messing around with, and they just weren't what I was expecting. They didn't live up to the hype. So we're going to start off with number five with Earthrise Sunstreaker. I was really excited to get Sunstreaker. This figure right here, not this figure, Generation 1 Sunstreaker was one of the first G1 figures I got Christmas 1984. He's got a special place in my heart. We haven't really got any good Sunstreakers in the main line. So I was really looking forward to getting this guy.  You might not be able to tell on this view right here, but he's got two different shades of yellow. You've got painted yellow here on his chest, which is a darker yellow than the plastic yellow used on the rest of the figure. And here on the forearms as well, that is a different yellow color there and there opposed to everything else. And it really stands out. Now I do have a Toy Hacks upgrade set on the way for Sunstreaker that supposedly is going to fix that. Another issue Sunstreaker had was I hated the weapon he came with. It's this engine block and somebody is firing fireworks already. What time is it? It's 5.38. It's too early. Anyway, he comes with this engine block or exhaust, whatever. And it turns into his weapon and in hand, I said this in my review, it looks like a hairdryer. Fortunately, I've got a new weapon for him here in vehicle mode. He lacks a spoiler that he had in the Generation 1 version. I also have a spoiler attachment also. So that is my number five disappointment, Earthrise Sunstreaker. My number four disappointment, Earthrise Airwave. Now I love the MicroMaster bases. I have all the G1 bases. They are awesome. And I was so excited to see the MicroMaster bases come out as figures that turn into the base modes. Now Airwave here has a really cool robot mode, but they failed miserably in his alt modes. The airport mode, it doesn't lay flat.  It just, it doesn't work. I mean, great robot. The alt modes are terrible. My number three, and this was a disappointment for me because I'm such a big fan, was Earthrise Megatron. Now, he's better than I originally thought because I thought, okay, he's just a slight remold of the Siege Megatron, which he is, but they actually took a lot of time with this guy. But that also being said, they could have took a little bit more. He's got a really, really lame weapon right here. It's kind of a cop out. This is his turret for tank mode with the tank. The feet still don't fold up and hide away. And he just looks off. This is one of my favorite transformer characters. And I think they just really dropped the ball on Earthrise Megatron. My number two disappointment for the year, Earthrise Double Dealer. I know some of you may be in shock on this one, but this guy, it just didn't do it for me. I was so excited when he was announced, I got him in hand and I just, I think he fell flat. First off, mine's jacked up where he leans to the side. I've tried over and over again and can't fix this. He kind of stands like that. And the joints are so weak. They won't even hold the weaponry. Transformation into vehicle mode and robot mode is great. Bird mode is a little wonky because there's a lot of parts forming for the bird mode. So I was expecting a lot more with this figure. Now it is cool that you can add the power masters to him. But, you know, if you're going to add that feature, at least give him a little bit of a gimmick to utilize with him.  I wish they could have done something with Double Dealer that would actually benefit from owning those other figures as well. So that is my number two disappointment, Earthrise Double Dealer. And my number one disappointing figure for 2020, Earthrise RC. The main reason that this one's a disappointment for me is not only do I wish the transformation was better, but my thing is how plain she looks. They just really drop the ball on a iconic character. I mean, as far as the transformation, I really don't care that much about that because all my bots are displayed in robot mode. I have maybe one or two in vehicle mode and it just really sucks how plain looking she is. Now, RC is the figure I got last. I got Lifeline first and look at the paint scheme on her. She looks great. Great paint detail there on the eyes and the lips. Great looking figure. Then I got Elita One, another fantastic paint job. You got the lipstick there on the lips and the blue eyes. And I thought, well, I have these two. Let me get RC. And after I got RC, let's use Lifeline here, for example, because they're the exact same only repainted. Check that out. RC looks more like an alien. I know she's an alien. She looks like one of those aliens, you know, you always see Roswell type. She just has no features on the face. Lifeline looks great. RC does not. I really wish they took the time and gave her some paint. So that's it, guys. That is my top five disappointments. Now let's take a look at my top 10 figures, the best of the best, in my opinion, for 2020. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now, before I start going over my top 10 figures of 2020, I need you guys to do me a favor. If you're watching this video right here and are not a subscriber of Patriot Prime Reviews, please consider hitting that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. And also help me reach my goal of 10,000 subscribers in 2021. Also, keep in mind that this list is my opinion. So please don't be offended if one of your favorite figures didn't make the cut. Also, I am focusing only on transformers. I buy figures from all different lines and products and companies. But since my channel is mainly transformers, that's what I'm going to focus on. So now without further ado, let's start off with number 10, Generation Selects Grease Pit. I love this guy. Now, I thought Earthrise Ironworks was a great figure. As I said earlier, I'm a big fan of the MicroMaster Bases. And I just love this guy. The Grease Pit or Grease Pit's base from Generation 1 is one of my absolute favorites. And I think the Selects line killed it with this figure. First off, his collars are amazing. I love how they took the Ironworks figure that transformed into a construction yard and was able to turn this guy into a gas station with just a couple of extra accessories. You've got a gas station sign here and gas pumps. Of course, I make it look like it has a flamethrower. And I thought that was so cool. So I know this was probably a shock to a lot of people. Yeah, my number 10, Earthrise or, excuse me, Generation Selects Grease Pit. Number nine is also a Generation Selects figure. Generation Selects Super Megatron. Now, if you watch my video on this guy, you realize the problems I had with him. But after I got those all ironed out, I love this guy. He would actually be higher on my list if his alt modes were any good. His alt modes really kind of suck, but the robot mode is amazing. There is so much playability with this guy. You can transform him. Of course, you can transform him. You can give him different looks. You can give him wings. You can give these rocket pods. His face even flips around to give him a battle mask.  This is what we should have got mainline in Earthrise as Megatron, but he's more of a futuristic looking version. So it doesn't really fit with the Earthrise motif. So there is my number nine, Generation Selects Super Megatron. Number eight was a surprise to me as well because I really wasn't going to pick him up and I walked into my local GameStop. There he was sitting on the shelf. The Back to the Future 35th Anniversary Gigawatt. Yes, he is back in his packaging because that packaging is glorious. And this is a great figure. No real complaints with this guy whatsoever other than the Mr. Fusion, which you can't see here. It will not stay attached to his weapon mode, at least mine won't. It wouldn't attach to the vehicle mode, excuse me. It just would not stay on. It will pop off way too easy. That's the only thing that keeps him at number eight instead of higher, but he did a great job with this. The DeLorean looks awesome. I mean, I couldn't be happier. And this kind of kick started a Back to the Future collection for me as well, which I have on a shelf up here. I've got a PlaySchool Back to the Future, the Jada Rides. I've got the NECA Marty McFly. I've got Funko Pops and it's all because of this guy here. And not to mention Back to the Future is a fantastic movie. So there it is. My number eight, Gigawatt. Number seven is also a newer figure that I just got a couple weeks ago and I was really surprised by how much I liked him. Earthrise Trailbreaker. I love this guy. He is so cartoon accurate. The weapon, I love how it just molds into the hand to make it look like it's his hand, just like the Generation 1 toy. The guy is sweet and you get a lot of bang for your buck with this figure because he is huge compared to another deluxe. And I just couldn't be happier with this guy. Both he and Hoist really surprised me this year, but I like Trailbreaker so much more. I like his collar scheme. I like his alt mode. Alt mode's great too. The 4x4 pickup truck that transforms so nice and tight.  Hasbro and these wheel clips, they've got to stop doing that. But other than that, a great figure. I couldn't be happier with this guy. So that is my number seven, Earthrise Trailbreaker. Number six, another Earthrise figure. Earthrise Snap Dragon. This one is great. It was almost one of my top three because I love this guy. I always liked Snap Dragon. He's one of my favorite Generation 1 figures. I love the jet mode. I love the robot mode. Dinosaur mode's a little wonky and that carries over into this modern figure as well. The guy looks great. Fantastic collar scheme. They actually give him both of his weapons. He's a headmaster. The jet mode. Jet mode pegs together wonderfully nice and tight. Very smooth and streamlined. You've got a cockpit for the headmaster to fit in.  And that's what knocks him down a little farther down my list too. But other than that, I love this figure. He is awesome. When I first got him, I couldn't leave him alone. This is a great figure. And unfortunately, he's shelf warming right now, which is a real surprise because I think maybe not many people know about this guy. This whole Earthrise line has definitely been a big appeal to us Generation 1 fans. So that is my number six Earthrise Snapdragon. Another new one that just came out that really surprised me that made this list is the Netflix Bumblebee. Yes, a Bumblebee figure made my top 10 list. This mold with Cliffjumper hubcap bug bite was a great mold. But Bumblebee takes the cake. As far as Cliffjumper and the others, they don't really transform into a good representation of their Generation 1 self where this Bumblebee kills it. I've seen many, many people comment that this is a mini masterpiece figure and I couldn't agree more. Look how cartoon accurate he is. I mean, down to the details and the details on this guy. For a mainline figure, the paint details are great. He's got the painted hubcaps. He's got the bumpers right there, the windows, the taillights. This guy is awesome. I wish you didn't come with the bazooka. I have a little pistol here that came with another weapon set from Hasbro that really improves these looks. I was so surprised with this guy and really amazed how much I like him. So yeah, Netflix Bumblebee has made what number? I've lost my place. Netflix Bumblebee is my number five for 2020. Now keeping on with Netflix is another figure that came out this year. My number four war for Cybertron Netflix sound wave. This one also surprised me because I thought, okay, he's just going to be a repaint of Siege sound wave that turns into the micro cassette recorder. He's so much more than that. There is a lot more detail on this figure than I originally imagined and I'm really surprised about how good they pulled off the micro cassette recorder mode and that light piping. I'm actually surprised the light piping is working at this angle. It's catching my LED light back there. But look at that. He looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with this guy. He's actually a centerpiece in my sound wave display right now. Plus I've got laser beak up here. He actually came with laser beak and ravage. Laser beak has a toy hacks enhancement there on his back to give him his cannons and thrusters. But yeah, this is a great figure. I couldn't be happier. So that is my number four Netflix sound wave. Number three is a big boy. Earthrise Skylinks. This was actually a figure I wasn't going to get. I was never the biggest Skylinks fan and I finally after seeing so many reviews broke down and got him and I'm so glad I did. This is an awesome figure. Great details. Great transformation. You've got so much playability because you got Skylinks here, the shuttle that turns into the bird. You've got the crawler that turns into the lynx mode. So you got two figures and you combine them together for dino bird mode. And then they also transform into this giant base. It is awesome. Now I have a fire tox enhancement right here. It's this little piece that plugs into his neck to give him more of a G1 look. So I think that really improves the looks of Skylinks. Plus I've got a toy hacks decal set that I ordered last month that I actually got last month. And I just have not put on this guy yet. So yeah, this is a great figure. If you see this one, pick him up. You're not going to be disappointed. He is awesome. And that is my number three Earthrise Skylinks. My number two figure for 2020, Transformers Earthrise Optimus Prime. This is a great Optimus Prime figure. This is the Optimus Prime figure that I dreamed of having as a kid. He's cartoon accurate. And of course, mine has toy hacks decals as usual that really boosts his cartoon accuracy. But even not having those a great figure fun transformation. Transformation for this guy is amazing. He's got wonderful articulation weaponry. I've got a fire tox weapon here in his hand and fire tox made me this cool American flag. You know, Patriot Prime. Now the bot mode is great. I can't brag enough about this. He came with the trailer.  It was really plain. And of course, my trailer sits back here on the shelf. I don't really utilize it much. But as far as the prime figure itself, another mini masterpiece. This guy is amazing. And he's got a few different molds out right now. You've got the dead prime, which I have. It's another great reuse of this figure right here. Those heads jacked up. Look for my video review on that where I turn him into a new figure called Monster. Thanks to toy hacks. And I'm rambling on this. A great figure. I think everybody owns this guy and they could all agree. This is a wonderful Optimus Prime and my number two of 2020. And now we come to the final figure and I've showed this one off before in some other videos. My top figure. My number one of 2020. The figure I have had the most fun with since I purchased it. And the one that I think just hits all the nails on the head is Earthrise. Scorponok. I love this figure. It's like my child right here. He is huge. He is so comic and cartoon accurate. I've enhanced mine, of course, thanks to toy hacks. But once again, just like with Prime, even without those enhancements, this guy looks great. He's got great transformations. All of his modes look spectacular. You know, usually with a triple changer, one mode suffers, not this guy. He looks amazing. Plus they gave him his headmaster. And pops off and transforms into Lord Zarek. Lots of posability with the guy. He's got nice tight ratchets. He's got these big claws and he's very, very solid. I mean, this is a heavy figure and I couldn't be happier with him. I love this guy. I actually got all the enhancements ordered or the upgrades ordered as well. You can get new cannons for him. A visor, new visor that goes across the eyes. New weaponry, his big orange gun. That's one complaint. I wish he came with his orange gun. But oh well. But yeah, this guy is awesome. I couldn't be happier. And he proudly stands. Actually, there's a table right there, practically in the middle of my floor. And he's one of the first bots that you see. A great upgrade to the original generation one toy. Which was also a favorite of mine. So yeah, my number one figure for 2020. The mighty Scorponok. Have you all seen the new Netflix Earthrise and their take on him? That was a little different. All right. So there you go guys. There is my top 10 figures and top five disappointments of 2020. What'd you think? What's your top ones of 2020? Let me know down there in the comments. And as usual, if you like the video, don't forget to like, don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to hit that bell icon to get notified when I upload new reviews. I've got lots of stuff playing for 2021. And I can't wait to see you all here. Guys, once again, this is Patriot Prime signing out. Have a happy new year. Hoorah!


Something's happening out there. It's all good. Yep. He got it out.  Yeah, Kim's out. Wait, Kim, it's your stuff. But we don't know that for sure. I'm pretty confident. Okay, Justin, you're the team in here on that one. I'm gonna be honest.  Wait, it's not that way. It's not that way. It's not that way. There are a lot of people here that are really strong. I just can't. I can't. I can't go to the table. That's what they say. They said that if I didn't reverse my termination, that they were going to tell everybody that I was a human, that they would all turn to me. And... All of this is a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. Oh! It's a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. I'm so sure. I'm gonna do something about this at how we meet. So we figure out there is another Dash 3. I was right. Listen, I really want to help you all figure out what happened because I really thought we were a family for all of this because I love you guys, okay? So I want to protect you all from getting hurt because I love you, Sloan. I'm sorry, I don't recognize whoever it was, I don't remember everything. Is there a voice on the light? Like if we wind everybody up that could be a substance that you may be. I don't. That sounds dangerous. I don't think so. I just wanted to know if you figured anything out. I have a call this meeting right now because it's nighttime and you can hear the dashes outside. I don't think you have much more time. Everyone has sign? We can figure this out right now. And we have to figure out how we're getting out of here. Do we respect or do we reject? Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Respect. Thank you guys for whatever. We can figure out who the role is because we don't figure out who the accomplice is. They will sabotage us getting out of here. So we have to figure that out first. Guys, I want to have a group discussion, please. We really gotta give some hope. It's almost touching it all the time. I give her a lot of candy. Yeah, I give her a lot of candy. Like six pieces. Like, I give her a lot of candy. I just want to ask our own suspicions about this, but we've tried scanning. We've tried handing. We've tried everything. I think we just need to go for the real facts, which is where everybody was last night, from 3 to 4 a.m., which is when the bodies move. I think that's going to be actually how we figure this out, regardless of all these other suspicions. So, Ken, does anybody want to share? If anybody found out, anyone else? Ken, does anybody want to share? If anybody found out, anyone else? Alibis? Yeah. That's right. Specific alibis, but I mean, two things. One, only security has access to the amnestics. Things to consider. Number two, we asked all of the people that were here previously about the phrase, the store's clothes, please don't use the premises. And Ken, when he was under the influence of the anomaly, it made me feel fear, it made me feel apprehension. It was this whole thing, right? Yeah. You asked everybody, and everyone was annoyed. We're going, I mean, they say that because it's annoying. One person acted in fear, I read. You acted in a little suspicious, I have to say. I also, but it's just, the only other person who helped me in this body, in the way that he never was, read. You're the one that helped me in the body. Because I'm security, and since it's part of the body. You're also, then you're the only other person that has access to amnestics. I have to ask Edward to get amnestics. I haven't carried amnestics in a month. It's true, I've been really cold all of the amnestics. What? None of them have access to Edward. I know, it's just, I wanted to figure this out by seeing her going to one of us. It's just, all right. No, we just go to that, right? He's going to get us anywhere. All right, let's do it. All right, then, let's do it. All right, we're all going to ask you where they were. You know, just out of everything, the only person when we were talking about who was awake last night, right? Sloane, stuff like that. Joe couldn't say that Sloane was there or not, even though they share a room. You were saying it was because you were asleep? Yeah, there was some well-thinking time. Were you doing something? Maybe were you up, or were you just playing that Sloane was talking to him all through the morning. All through the morning, long time. You can corroborate that. Yes, we do. Yes, we can. I was not moving a body. So then, but Joe's first pick? I was worried that if I told people where I actually was that it would raise very sufficiently, and I'm kind of glad I didn't, because otherwise I would have ended up like Edgar. I mean, this would really help. Yes, well, I think I talked to Theron, I believe I talked to you and a couple others about this, but essentially, yeah, Clay, I think I talked to you about it a little bit. Essentially, I went to inspect Carter's things because I had thought that he had motive to try and confront Han last night, and then I heard people coming in, and it turned out to be Iris and Dr. Wondertainment. And understandably, the two of you were grieving and consoling each other and being very vulnerable and honest, and it got to me, and I guess you guys heard me in the closet.  We swore sinker seats to each other. Yeah, let's, I'd say you two, I actually have a question about you two. You claimed that he was consoling you the entire, for almost an hour while this was happening. He doesn't remember a word, I believe. Okay, I did say that, and it was because, as Joe mentioned, we were all talking together last night, and one of the things I discussed with the two of them as I was grieving was that I was having second doubts of the marriage. And I didn't want to tell anyone because I knew that, I knew that if I said something about it, that everyone would just point their fingers at me because it's like, okay, well it's obviously you, you're the fiance, you don't want to get married anymore, like, but I didn't do it. And I was with Oz and Joe all night last night, but I knew if I said that with all the chaos going on, nobody would listen to me and just automatically think it's me, so I didn't want to say anything. Yeah, and that's why I said I was with Izzy, but I don't know about Izzy saying he doesn't remember anything. He doesn't remember anything being with you was what I was getting into. Well, I wasn't with him from the last night, I was with my wife. Now that makes more sense. Yeah, but now, so Izzy, where were you last night? I was with Edgar. Edgar? You said you didn't remember. And that you were asleep there, Shoakish. Now you helped me with some amnestics last night. It's funny that Izzy claimed the side effect of the amnestics was an extremely, extremely, extremely dry mouth which Edgar repeatedly claimed was not one of the side effects. Baby, why are you lying to people? We both know that you're immune. How do you know I'm immune? Where? I know the symptoms. I watch you all the time. Oh, yeah. You're not amnestics. I knew that the Shrek put you in the Shrek's right here. You've been immune for a long time. I've been immune for a few months. A man? Edgar got me with those things like once a week. It only took like six times for me to develop a tolerance and like maybe 12 to get an immunity. That's true. And now you're saying, that you were not amnesticized last night. That's the point. I was amnesticized last night and I was pretending that it worked. Why? Why are you saying it now? Do we have this time? Hold up. So why would Edgar feel the need to administer amnesty last night? I saw him trying to kill Cam. What? No. What? Cam. What? That's fair. I killed somebody. No, that's not fair. You're not fair. I thought Cam was put locked away right after the murder of Carter. Yeah. When? I guess it was around maybe like 330-ish.  He left his post, does that mean he was on watch right then? He was, yeah. But Cam, Ren said that she was on watch at that time. I'm not saying anything. Anyone even asked me about what. Okay, so far with everything that we've gone through. Everyone was with each other, at least for a little bit, but Ren, nobody was with you the whole night last night. Yeah, yeah. What's there's more about that? With Willie, I didn't just supposed to come here. I know Edgar's gone, but Izzy was saying that they were together but you weren't with anybody last night. So your alibi's the only one that's not accounted for. Why? I saw Somme going to the bathroom. Exactly, you saw me going to the bathroom, which means you were out of bed. Well, yeah, I went to bed after that. And why were you trying to go into the bathroom? I just wanted to check on Cam. Why would you want to do that? Because I know from personal experience what it's like to be locked in a shower. Do you also know what it's like to murder? Yeah, did you empathize with everything about him? Yeah, so what is it? I'm just trying to get him to come in. Yeah, thank you. It was an accident. You want a therapist? Yeah. What's the truth? I'm not saying that, like, you did anything, Ren. It's just that everyone else was accounted for when the body was moved. Like, it was impossible for any of us to do it. And you're the only person that no one can corroborate. Just because of that, you really think it's me? We don't have anything else to go off of. It's not like I think you had it in you to do it. We don't have any other options. Give us anything that can prove you're not. You guys literally know me. I could not do this. I couldn't do anything like this. I just, we don't know where you are. I was in my room just so that no one saw me sleeping. I think that I moved the body. It's just there's no other option. Nobody mentioned the body.  Nobody mentioned that. It's not your conversation. No, the conversation was about how you were watching or the bathroom. The original one, and you mentioned the body to him. No, the original conversation was where I was when the body was moved. Yeah. And it's not how they got it. My question, I'm friends with all of you. And this, this, I guess, you guys actually. It's probably easy. It's probably easy. We're already murdered. We just, yeah, no, no, no, we're not. We just want to use the bottom of this. And it's just that no one can see where you were. So, especially you, I was like, we're close. I mean, it's not a bad, it's not a bad. I cannot believe that you are the one that figured it out. Fuck. Shit. You should be ashamed of yourself. Put that back though.  You don't want to get me started. Yeah, okay, okay. It was me. Congratulations. I'm the one that moved the body, but it doesn't, it does not matter.   Cause I want you all out. Officially, as possible.   You're not only denying me, you're denying our entire nature.    What could you possibly say for yourself? Ren, Ren, this is great. All this time, you've been there, you understood me. We understood each other. Yeah, I thought we did, Cam. We're like siblings and that's amazing because that means we can help each other. These people, they're our family. You're having real feelings now. You're feeling rage and that's human. Feelings are human. We can make this right without killing anybody. We can help them leave the idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you're right. Yeah, except we are not even close to siblings. We cannot be farther apart, Cam. I am far superior to you in every sense of the way and that's why I was able to do every little manipulation that I did. I mean, we weren't really getting somewhere over here. You wanted me to see my memory from the SCP but you had the wrong, where I went wrong, Cam.  We gotta get out of here. Thank you so much for helping. I need you to get away, okay? You need to go as far as possible. This place, that's not what it needs. This place has been trying to tell us this whole time. You all, you all saw trying to communicate with us. From sickness that begins to sprout, grows out violent precedence. Freedom is found and slipping out. You must suspect the rest of us. You all are crazy. You thought I lost my marvels, sharp puncher. Yeah, I did.  The one thing I have learned is that you cannot fight the idea, okay? You have to work with it. You have to learn its patterns. And this place, I don't wanna fight you anymore, right? It's time to begin the healing.  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What's that? Wait, everybody listen, listen. I can feel it with those words that I can feel when you spare friend. No. I may be human now, but it's, the idea is still in my DNA. I can feel that when you spared friend, something changed. You completed the prophecy. I think that's the exit. That's the exit. I think I can open this door and we can all leave this place for good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go. But, he has body here. He doesn't deserve this. He made it, he made the ball. His body will be able to restore balance to this broken toy of his. The spirit will bind with the broken parts and finally make it the true dream and vision that he had all along. I don't think we have that much time now. You gotta get out. I love you, dad. You gotta get out of here. You gotta get out of here. She can still be dangerous, please. I just want to leave her alone. Please, please, please. Let's go, let's go, let's go. We gotta get out. Shit. All right, I don't know. Is everyone ready? Yeah. You're ready. As I'll ever be. Yeah. I got the bunch of shirts. I got the bunch of shirts. Come on.     We did it. The away team survived. The away team survived. We will see you guys in the episode. See you at the island, spider. Thank you for listening.

Okay, so let's go ahead and balance this combustion reaction. So C7HA plus O2 goes to CO2 and H2O, okay? So remember how we do these, okay? So we write down what we've got on each side, okay? So what atoms do we have? C, H, and O, right? Okay? So let's write that down over here, two, C, H, and O, like that, okay? So let's count how many carbons do we have on this side of the reaction? Seven. Seven? How many hydrogens do we have over here? Eight. Eight? And just for fun, how many oxygens? Two. Two? Okay. So the first two, we're going to balance over here and then we're going to get the number of oxygens and then rebalance them over here, okay? So how many carbons do we have here? One. One. How many hydrogens? Two. Two. And oxygens, we're all worried about, right now, okay? But it's okay, right? We have three. So one, two, and three. Okay, so seven carbons, the only thing that has carbon in it over here is carbon dioxide, right? And how many carbons does it have in it? One. One. So how many carbon dioxide are we going to have? Total. We have to have seven carbons. Oh, okay. And there's one carbon in each carbon dioxide. So how many carbon dioxide do we have to have? Eight. Seven, right? Seven times one is seven, right? Okay. So how many hydrogens do we have over here? Eight. Eight. And how many hydrogens are there in water? Two. Two. So how many water molecules total do we have to have? Something times two equals eight. Four. Four, right? Okay, so now let's balance our carbons and hydrogens. See if we have this right amount, okay? So how many carbons altogether do we have on this side? Seven. Seven. So that's the same as over here, right? How many hydrogens do we have altogether over here? Eight. Eight. So that's the same as over here, right? How many oxygens do we have over here? So that's seven times two, right? So that's how many? Fourteen. Fourteen plus? Four. Four. So how many is that? Eighteen. Eighteen. So what times two equals 18? Nine. Nine. So we're going to put a nine there, okay? So like that, okay? Okay, so we got seven. Seven. Check. Eight. Eight. Check. Eighteen. Eighteen. Okay? So that's how you do combustion reactions.  Any questions on that one? Wonderful.
