everybody. I think it's time to get started. I'm Cliff Lynch. I'm the director of CNI and I welcome you to the first Friday and the end of the first thematic week of project briefing sessions for the CNI virtual fall 2020 member meeting. And I would just note that we will have some more sessions today and then Monday at four I will lead a sort of a summing up session for the first week. A couple of logistical things. There is a chat and please feel free to use that to identify yourself or make comments as the presentations unfold. There is also at the bottom of your screen a Q&A tool. Please use that at any point during the presentations to queue up questions. We'll deal with all the questions at the end of the two presentations when Diane Goldenberg Hart from CNI will materialize and moderate a Q&A session. I would also note that we are recording this session. It will be available subsequently and closed captioning is also available if you'd like to make use of that. Let me with that introduce our speakers. We have with us today Daniel Noonan and Sue Beck both of the Ohio State University excuse me.  And also what brain writing is a term that I hadn't come across until I saw their abstract. But really what this is all about I think at least as I understand it is about really thinking through what digital content and digital preservation mean to workflows and how appropriate workflows recognize those realities. At many of our institutions as you know dealing with digital materials has just sort of been grafted on to very long-standing workflows in ways that I would say are ever creakier as time goes on. So with that I will welcome and thank our presenters and turn it over to Daniel to start the presentation. Thank you Cliff. Thanks for y'all to come today to hear our presentation. This is our first kind of public walkthrough of the work that we've been doing for the past six to eight months. I'm Dan Noonan. I'm the digital preservation librarian at the Ohio State University Libraries. Today Sue Beck and I will be discussing the use of Cypoc, RACI and brain writing and exposing our existing workflows that surround digitization and born digital acquisition as well as the arrangement description of providing access to and preservation thereof. Sue, a senior systems consultant and I are members of the University Libraries Information Technology Unit. We'll be using a scripted presentation for the sake of future clarity as well as observing our commitments to the use of our limited amount of time most effectively. We are gathered here in Columbus on the unceded lands of Indigenous people who have been coming to what is now the state of Ohio for thousands of years and the series of large-scale geometric boundary and effigy earthworks still visible in Central and Southern Ohio bear witness to this region's historical importance as a center of economic, spiritual, artistic and intellectual endeavor in exchange. We acknowledge Central Ohio as the traditional homeland of the Shawnee, Miami, Hopewell, Wyandotte and other Indigenous nations. We have strong ties to the lands. Today, individuals from broad range of Indigenous backgrounds call Columbus and Central Ohio home. At the beginning of 2020, when the University Libraries was back at full compliment with various roles that affect the management of our digital content, a group of librarians and characters proposed the revival of a work group to provide a cross-functional consistent approach to managing our born digital acquisitions and our digitized materials. Various work groups over the past decade have come together around issues pertinent to our digital content with success in developing guidance, while others' efforts have not necessarily seen the light of day. Further, there is confusion at times as to where to find definitive University Libraries information regarding digitizing materials, accessioning born digital materials, and where we will preserve and provide access to them. One of the goals of this group, the Digital Preservation and Access Work Group, or DPNA, will be to provide a single point of access to find, discover and manage the institutional knowledge. Further, the DPNA intends to provide transparency and decision making regarding priorities, guidelines, and standards that the libraries adopt in these areas. We will define, refine, and clarify roles and responsibilities around preservation, the curation of digital collections, standardize the accessioning and processing of born digital collections, digitization processing for at-risk collections, and digitization, prioritization, and processing for providing online access to collections. We will work to ensure consistent implementation of metadata profiles, implement best practices for digital collection life cycle management, and continually evaluate University Libraries' current capabilities and make recommendations with input from all stakeholders around the evolution of services. The initial charge from our sponsoring associate deans, Jennifer Benapol and Carla Strebe, meant to eventually achieve these loftier goals as something much more basic, to identify our existing workflows that affect born digital acquisitions and processing, digitization, providing access to digital materials and the preservation thereof, answering the question, what are the intersections, gaps, redundancies, and areas for improvement? But first, we have to ask ourselves, who are we doing this for? Who are our stakeholders? Stakeholder is not a one-size-fits-all category or just a singular target. This is where we can often error not being transparent enough. When contemplating who our stakeholders are, we need to gauge their influence versus their interest. Clearly, our critical stakeholders are those that have both high interest and influence, and we need to keep them involved and most thoroughly manage them. But who are our other stakeholders? Major stakeholders are those that have a significant ability to influence, but possibly a lower level of day-to-day interest. These are the types of folks we need to keep satisfied by anticipating and meeting their needs. Significant stakeholders are those that have an interest in what we are doing, but do not have much influence on our outcomes. These are folks we just need to keep completely informed. And finally, minor stakeholders are those that have a low interest and low minimal ability to influence. These are folks we need to provide a limited effort to keep informed via minimal contact. So who are our stakeholders? It is a long list. Clearly, this represents a wide swath of the university libraries, and some may suggest it isn't wide or complete enough. But it is a starting point. Are these all critical stakeholders? That depends. It will vary as we work through the workflow mappings and analysis. Some stakeholders may have a relatively static role. For example, a couple of the major stakeholders who we need to anticipate and meet their needs throughout the process are our sponsors, our associate deans, and by extension the dean of libraries and the rest of the executive team. Whereas myself, as representing digital preservation, may have a more fluid stakeholder role ranging from significant to major to critical, depending upon the workflow or process. We also do not necessarily see this as a complete list. We hold expect reveal, and we have other stakeholders through this process that we may not have previously contemplated. Having identified our stakeholders, at least initially, what did we do next? We needed to begin to identify and differentiate our processes and workflows. This initially should be conducted from a very high level point of view, identifying activities, functions, handoffs associated with our work around acquiring and processing born digital collections, digitizing our existing materials, and addressing how we actively preserve and provide access to these digital materials. By a high level point of view, imagine looking at a map zoomed out to show Ohio State in relation to Franklin County, Ohio, and surrounding areas, as opposed to being zoomed in to identify campus buildings and roads. It is this broader abstraction that we are aiming for at the beginning of the process. We have engaged in utilizing three techniques to help us visualize and understand the workflow and processes that allow us to provide access to and preservation of our born digital and digitized content. These techniques come to us from the realm of process improvement, roots in total quality management that continue to be used in lean and six sigma programs. The SciPOC exercise provides for a very high level view of our workflow process, the steps in the process are aggregated up to a level of extraction that still allow us to understand suppliers, inputs, outputs, handoffs, and customers. The intent is to ensure that all processes are represented. Following up on the SciPOC, each group will be asked to conduct a race to determine for each step within a process who is responsible, accountable, consulted, or needs to be informed. And finally, we will engage in brainwriting to further tease out the granularities of the steps identified within the SciPOC. And with that, I'll turn it over to Sue. SciPOC simply stands for suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, and customers. Suppliers are the providers of inputs to the process. Inputs define the material, service, and our information that are used by the process to produce the outputs. A process is defined as a sequence of activities that usually add value to inputs to produce the outputs or transform inputs to outputs for the customers. In a traditional SciPOC, there are at a minimum four and maximum of seven high level steps that should be constructed in a verb noun structure. Outputs are the products, services, and our information that is valuable to the customer. The customers are users of the outputs produced or transformed by the process. They can be people, organizations, machines, or even software. Consequently, a SciPOC looks like a table and it lends itself well to being documented in a spreadsheet. However, the interesting thing about SciPOC is that it's not created in the linear manner that the acronym suggests. The creation of a SciPOC actually happens inside out. The first phase is to identify and name the high-level process or workflow. This is followed by moving to the middle and mapping it in four to seven high-level process steps. There has to be a first step and a last step, with a minimum of two and a maximum of five additional steps. Next, we move to the right side to identify the outputs of these process steps, which is followed by identifying the customers that will receive these outputs. Now, we jump to the left side in order to identify the inputs required for each of the process steps to function properly. Finally, we identify the suppliers of the inputs that are required by the process steps. Once you complete a SciPOC, it can be reviewed with project sponsors, champions, and other involved stakeholders for verification. Identifying and articulating the process steps may be the most difficult part of the process. As participants can get sidetracked in granular details, instead of abstracting the steps up to a higher, more modernized level. This is an example of a completed SciPOC for our archives group, Archives Digitization. However, this is where they started from, naming the process and starting with the first step, request for digitization, followed by identifying the last step, storage of material. Then they fill the remaining steps in between. After recording the process steps, we begin to identify outputs of those steps, which leads to identifying the customers of those outputs. From there, we jump back to the other side of the matrix and begin to identify the inputs to the process steps, before finally identifying the suppliers of those inputs leading to a completed SciPOC. After completing the SciPOC, we can begin to conduct the racy exercise. This exercise allows us to identify the roles and their accompanying responsibilities that they may have for each process step. This acronym stands for Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed. We need to make a distinction, however, between a role and individually identified people. A role is a descriptor of an associated set of tasks that an individual is capable of completing. These may be performed by many people. For example, a role might be a scan technician, whereas an individual is one person that performs a particular role or roles. Individual one could be a scan technician while individual two could be a scan technician and maybe a conservation technician. In a racy, we define Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed as follows. A role is responsible if there are those who do the work to complete the task. There has to be at least one role that is responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the required work. The role who is ultimately answerable to the correct and thorough completion of deliverable or task is deemed accountable. They ensure the prerequisites of the tasks are met and delegate the work to those responsible. There must be one and only one accountable role specified for each task or deliverable. The first of the two optional roles are those that are consulted. These are roles whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter experts, and with whom there is two-way communication. The second optional and final role is that of Inform. These folks are kept up to date on a progress, often only on a completion of a task or deliverable, and with whom there is just one-way communication. The racy can be completed by creating a matrix where the roles are at minimum, the process steps from the Cypoc, but could be augmented with more granular steps. As in our example here, based upon the Archives Digitization Cypoc that we just shared. The first step, along with step three, four, and five, have been further broken down due to divergence in actual workflow and applicable roles. The racy can be completed in one of two manners. In version one, which we see here, the columns represent RACI, and for each process, the roles or persons are identified. Each step must have at least one responsible, but only one accountable role or individual. In this version, one can quickly identify who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed, particularly to verify that there is one and only one accountable person or role for each step, while there may be multiple roles for people or people responsible, consulted, or informed. In our example, it was an initial pass that identified multiple accountable roles for a few process steps, which led us to further dividing those. In version two, the columns represent the various roles and can be further broken down by individuals. For each step, one indicates if the role or individual is responsible, accountable, consulted, and or informed. In this version, one can see how a role or an individual's participation changes throughout the process, as well as the aggregate of their responsibilities. Both versions provide us with valuable insight into workflow and its processes. The racy is an important bridge to the brain writing process. It helps us identify who needs to be in the proverbial room for the brain writing exercise.  What is the difference? In a brain storming session, we approach the exercise with an open mind where the sky is the limit, trying to get all the potential ideas on the table from various points of view. However, the objective in front of us is to determine and document the now, and what we are currently doing, not what we want to be doing, regardless of whether we are doing the right thing or not. Brain writing allows us to dive deeper beyond those four to seven process steps and examine our processes with finer granularity. There are various brain writing methods available, such as 365, while we decided on a simplified version. We selected this method with the following benefits in mind. Fast and efficient, less social anxiety and competing personalities, and avoiding the group sync consensus. This process would ensure that all ideas were recorded by the individuals who thought of them, additionally eliminating the recorder's bias and control. If you were to conduct this exercise in a traditional venue, we would be in a conference room with a white board, and folks in the room would have pads of notes, posted notes in front of them. We would ask them to itemize all the microprocesses and activities involved in each of the process steps identified in a sidewalk on a series of posted notes, and then have them all placed on the white board. However, we are currently in the throes of COVID-19 related restrictions, which only allows us to meet virtually. Therefore, we live for virtual white board tools in order to accomplish this activity. Having settled upon Google's Jamboard as a no-cost alternative, we quickly ran into some limitations. Our problem was twofold. First, the tool itself, whether Jamboard or other like tools, were cumbersome for some average users. Second, there is no way for the individuals to create their set of posted notes before sharing them. They are right out there in front of everyone, and folks start to react to them without doing their own brainwriting, such as stifling the progress. So, we went back to the drawing board, pun intended. We constructed a spreadsheet option that would allow each team individual to itemize the steps, as well as identifying general notes and or dependencies. Additionally, as Dan and I review these brainwritings, we are adding our own notes and questions for clarifications. It is from these spreadsheets that we will begin to diagram visualized process maps and workflows. Dan, you're muted. There we go. Yep, I knew I'd do that. Sorry. Thank you, Sue. Once we have our Cypox, Bracy, and Brainwriting complete, we'll be able to analyze the data along with validating and confirming it. Based upon the validated confirmed results, we'll be able to develop process maps with accurate information about the steps within the process, the roles and individuals involved, and where there are intersections and handoffs, as well as missed opportunities. Sue and I are taking the information gathered in the brainwriting exercise to begin to visualize the actual workflows. As with the brainwriting exercise, we had originally hoped to use online tools for drawing the visualization of the workflows, but we ran into the same issue of them being time-consuming cumbersome for the average user. Therefore, we have gone old school, as can be seen here with the hand-drawn visualizations. Once these have been validated with the particular groups, we will turn these over to someone who is competent with drawing tools to finalize our visualizations probably in Visio. The ultimate goal will be to assemble a larger visualization of all the processes, identifying not only the steps within the processes, the roles and individuals involved, and where there are the intersections and handoffs, but the organizational redundancies, gaps, and best practices. It is the intention that this will allow us to chart a more holistic, cohesive approach to acquiring, accessioning, and processing born digital materials, digitizing our existing content, and then actively preserving and providing access to that digital content. So as a recap of the steps involved in this overall project, we will be identifying all existing processes related to providing access to and preservation of our born digital and digitized content. We are utilizing CIPOC, race, and brainwriting tools to complete the list of process steps, capturing roles, and individuals, and handoffs, leading to the development of a process map. The draft process maps will be shared and validated with our stakeholders, presented to our digital preservation and access work group for final considerations, before sharing with our sponsors in the greater university libraries community. This is an ongoing project. You can track our progress at the go link that is on these slides, which has also been put into the chat. As with any project, there are challenges and benefits that we can identify as we progress. On the challenges front, we had to pivot early on as the pandemic disrupted how we intended to conduct this exercise, and we had to determine ways to transform a typically tactile face-to-face test into one that is conducted in the virtual environment. The CIPOC activity can be extremely challenging to get participants to focus on modeling the process in a series of limited macro steps and not get caught up in granular minutiae, and then transitioning them back at a later date to focus on those microprocesses minutiae, and availability leading to response, didn't we already discuss this, and you didn't want this detail? But the answer is yes, but now is the time to discuss it. And as discussed by utilizing tools within the virtual environment, instantly putting it into shared spreadsheet or on-jam board, the fact that it's right there out in front of everyone sometimes stifles the discussion. On the flip side, we have been told by many participants that this has created the opportunity to examine, contemplate, interrogate their processes and workflows for the first time. It has encouraged systems thinking among our library's colleagues. While we've had to revise our approach for data collection as we progressed, we now have the CIPOC racy and brainwriting consolidated into a single workbook for each workflow. We have been able to document gaps that we kind of knew were there, as well as ones that weren't, or we didn't know were there. And finally, we learned that the need to be up the pivot is a challenge and not an obstacle. Thank you, and we are open for questions. Thank you so much, Dan and Sue. That was a really interesting overview of what sounds like a very complex process, but yields some really useful results. It seems that you're finding, which is wonderful. So it was really interesting, and we appreciate you coming to CNI to chat about it. And I would like to invite our attendees to type your questions into the Q&A tool, and I'll be happy to pass those along and share them with Dan and Sue so that we can hear more about what they've learned. And thank you also to our attendees for taking time out of your day to spend a little time with us here at CNI. I was curious to know while we're waiting to see what kind of questions we have from our audience. So you're in the process of drawing together all your findings, and you've got your handwritten map that you're going to be translating into something more polished, and this is going to be sent along and finalized. So what happens when steps in the process change as invariably they will? What happens at that point? Well, at this point, we're trying to get the sense of what we're actually doing. And because of that, we know there will be gaps. We know there will be changes. So part of what comes out of this ultimately is a recommendation for process improvement within the libraries. And so, you know, we've been looking at everything from the way our special collections folks look at, whether it's a digitization project or potentially accessioning born digital materials, how our metadata folks interact in that process, how the digitization group works with that, how our copyright interacts, how our collection management. So, and we're still in the process of conducting even some of the initial Cypoxjet as we begin to piece these things together as we move down the road. So the map that you saw there is just for one small workflow. We've got a lot more maps that all come together in the larger maps. And, you know, do we see in somebody's Cypox where they were doing this or consulting that person that three or four others are not? Is that the right thing to be doing? Or maybe those other ones are supposed to be doing it? Or maybe that one, it's like, why did you do that? Nobody else. So we're still, that's ultimately what we hope to get out of this is so that we can improve the process, but at the same time then is make this visual so that everybody in the libraries understands how the processes work and how we're part of a bigger project management exercise than just in our local areas within the libraries. That makes sense. So it's bringing a lot more transparency to the elements in the process itself. Got it. Okay, that's really interesting. Thank you. And what does the staff say about this method? It's been interesting, especially some of the, I'm sure everybody else kind of felt the same way that when they heard the acronyms and what they are, and they, you know, just trying to, for the first time, as Dan mentioned, some of them were exposed to thinking about their process, thinking about things that are happening in the process beyond what their very specific part of the process that they were responsible for. And that's what the system thinking kind of came in like, let me think beyond the silo of me and what comes across my desk. So it's been, we've heard that it's been eye-opening. It's been like an aha for a lot of folks to think about the bigger accumulative efforts that go into getting something, you know, from the paper to the hands of the user in a digital manner. And this is just hopefully goes beyond the digital preservation and access. And it could be thought about like everything that's happening at the libraries. Well, that's really interesting. Well, thank you so much. I see we're right at time. So I'm going to go ahead and close down the recording of this session and thank everyone for attending and just invite any of our attendees who are still around. If you would like to approach the podium and have a chat with our speakers, please feel free to do so. Just raise your hand and I can unmute you. And we will be back again in half an hour, two o'clock Eastern time for our next webinar that's part of the CNI Fall membership meeting. Hope to see you there. Thank you again, Dan and Sue. Take care. Thank you.


NFL kickers did something in week one that hasn't been seen since 1982. The 19 missed field goals in week one were the most in the NFL since kickers missed 20 in the opening week of 1982. That's 71% accuracy. That is really bad. Ironic to my point about the crowd volume, Robbie Gold, the kicker for the Niners, he actually said in early August that kickers might struggle due to the empty stadiums. Like the fact that it's so quiet that it would be a new variable. I made this video last year as a banger, but I ruffled some feathers.   Now again, let me make this clear before I do this whole video. I know I'm not an NFL kicker, I'm the best kicker on YouTube because these throwings out here. But it is funny to watch the NFL kicker shank what are honestly very easy kicks. Dude, the Randy Bullock kick. Is it confirmed that he's injured because he grabbed his leg like he got shot? Gaskowski, who was an all-prone, one of the best hitters in the league for a long time, missed two field goals, had one block and missed an extra point. That's rough. It only matters that you make the one that counts though and Gaskowski did drill the game winner. Albeit it was from 25 yards. So he definitely, you know, he should have drilled it. And then Austin Cyber to the Browns gets cut and they signed Cody Parkie, bro. Is there just a drought of talent right now in the kicking world of the NFL? So we're going to go recreate all the kicks that were missed this week, which is a lot. And this is going to be kind of a mini vlog because I forgot to bring all of my football stuff to California, like all of it. So I need footballs, a tee, a holder, kickoff tee, pleats, and I think that's it. Let's get to it. Peace. They've got two inch tees, not one inch, which is an issue for me. And they also have these kind of funny looking tees, which is also not good. We're probably going to have to go the Amazon route.  I wanted to make this video today. This has video potential right here. This QB net, I'm sure I'll find a way to make a video out of that. And these are honestly fire. I like these a lot. These don't get as dirty either. I'm going to check out with these puppies and then I'm all set. I'll see you boys soon. You're not goose, you're louvers. You want to say what's good, my guy? Would it do, folks? That's my roommate, Michael. You'll see a lot more of them later. I hope I'm not getting this out too late after week one, but I'm sorry I had to wait for this gear to get here. But this tee is a lot nicer than mine. One inch. Okay, so I got to address this right now. In high school, you can use a two inch or one inch. And I think college, you can't use anything. So yes, I'm cheating. I know I'm going to get a million comments, but like I know I'm not an NFL kicker, okay? It's still a fun bidder to do. I get that it's way more difficult what they do. All right, we're ready to go, but now the dilemma is getting out through a field. I'm honestly nervous. All these schools, they're like, you know, prep California schools, the face of Michigan schools where there's just this open field with like a field goal post. So I'm just going to go wander into a really nice high school football field. I hope they don't ask any questions. I was just telling my kick for the high school team, dude, I'm pretty small. They might just think, I don't know. First high school, not a shot in hell, armed guard out front. Niceest high school I've ever seen in my whole life. Because if any of you live 20 to 25 minutes from Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Burbank, any of those areas, and you know how I can get on a field to do my next video like this, please hit me up because this has been tough. Hey, wish me luck. We're at Notre Dame High School. He also, huge clutch. I tweeted how I was getting fresh, and I couldn't find a field. Somebody DMed me. They told me about a field, which I'm at right now. Not only that, but he's a kicker himself. He's definitely a stud. I just saw a bit of him drilling a 65-yarder, and he's meeting me here, which is dope as hell. So shout out to the boy. I'm about to meet him, and we'll get some kicking in. Sick. Mountain views for kicking. Hey, and this is the boy, Dennis.  I appreciate you. Dude, you're strapped. You're so strapped. What's the deepest you ever kicked, mom? 70? 70? I would call bullshit, but I saw you kick a 65 on your Twitter, so I don't believe it.  Still warming up, but this is a 40. Dennis gave me a half-inch instead of a one-inch, so, you know. All right. All right. Starting out, Randy Bullock. So what do you say? You got a calf camp? Dennis has the deets on this. All right.  From the 21, 10-yard done zone, 31-yard field goal. Oh, are we both getting kicked? Hell, yeah. Let's do it. P.A.T. There were five missed P.A.Ts. 33-yard line. Pardon the immense sunlight. It'd be like that. Goskowski, 42-yarders, his first of four mess. Does a blocked kick count? Probably not. I would have been 100% P.A.T. if I didn't get a kick blocked in high school. Yes, I'm just reliving high school. I have accomplished nothing since then. I want to go back. I want to go back to Bella. Please help. This is, I'm seriously, this is a cry for help. I'm not kidding. Please. Somebody help me.  All right. Let's kick it 42. I'm the 30. That's 32. This field's got a beautiful wind. Got this. Can you guys see me? And barely. So 30, 35, 37, 47 yards. 47, Goskowski. I've yet to miss on camera, by the way. Let's kick it. Kaimi Fairbarn. The first game. Texan's Chiefs. He kicked the 51-yarder late, missed. It wasn't really a shank. So that's the 40. This X is 40. So a yard back from that is 41 plus 10. 51-yard field goal. Yo, is anyone aware of a really deep kick that was missed? Because if so, I don't know if I could hit it. Because I just barely drilled 51 there. You ever try bonfireing it and then kicking it?  That's cool. How they used to kick it like this? Oh, that's Monty.   Is that how you say his name?  It's a 60-yarder. This is a 55-yarder. So we're one inside right here. I'm making a video. Come on over. Just make some subscribers. The only two other people on the field. What are you boys doing? You guys are kicking? No way. Hey, nice to meet you. What's your name? David.  Are you going to sit down? Come on. There we go. What's your name? David. David? Hey, boys. Good to meet you guys. You guys are kicking? Come kick with us. Ugliest 54 you'll ever see. I think that's it. I think I'm good for this.   This guy's nuts. That's a 50. That's a 50. This is the opposite 55. That's a 65-yarder. Hey, that's going to conclude this video. Thank you guys for watching. All right. I love you boys. Thanks for watching. Always peace.


I just talked about, low center of gravity, it's gonna help you do that. But still, you have to be aware of where your body is and not just focus on your touches. So if this is a defender, I don't just wanna focus on my skills to beat him, I wanna use my body to beat him. So for example, instead of just touching in a way for him like that, maybe I'm coming like this. So my body gets between him and the ball. And he'll also use a lot of body faints, for example, something like that. So it's like shaking him with your body, low center of gravity. But if he's trying to get the ball, I'm gonna keep the ball as far away from him as I can. I'm not gonna put it on this foot. I'm gonna put it on this foot.

What's going on everyone? Sam here with late sports cards ripping 22-23 upper deck extended series hockey hobby six box break number one. Random team style. There's a look again at your random results. You can see everybody but Eric. Eric is down here with the blue jacket so we'll just do a little scroll down there.  So thank you guys again for getting this filled up. Again if you need the link it is in the chat as well as the results tab of the website so good luck here guys let's do some upper deck extended series. So now with this it's like basketball in the sense of like the 22 draft class is the rookies. Yes and no because it's kind of like baseball where guys don't come up right away in hockey. The big time guys will come up. They've got a minor league too. Yeah they do. They have a couple minor league. They have the HL which is right below and then the ECHL which is below the HL. Yeah. Like that's the solar bears are ECHL so like down here then HL then HL. Gotcha. These are actually not the hardest thing in the world to open either. That was a base pack. Looking for one of those French parallels per box too. I don't know. Right when I say these aren't that hard to open. They're hard to open. Nice dude. Darcy Kemper. Young Guns. Oscar Oleson. Nice one there for the Avalanche. That is Smooth Grooves. Jack Quinn. Nice. For the Sabres. That's awesome. It's not going to be numbered on the acetate. Those are short friends this year and that's a rookie right there. So we'll take that. Congrats Buffalo. Young Guns. Yusso Persinan. For Nashville. Predators. Smooth Grooves sounds like if you were at this at the time you could have made it. I came up with something. I didn't know how short-printed they were going to be. James Hamlin on the upper deck Young Guns canvas. Nice one there. Oilers. There you go Ken. Congrats buddy. Got a canvas coming your way. Again vet base is going to be split even between every single spot. Logan Thompson canvas. All inserts, canvases, Young Guns, hits, numbered stuff will all be going to the right teams. Nice. Miko Rontinen ran in on the Black Diamond. Grats on that. That's like a nod to one of the older sets right there. I think 0708 something like that or 0506. What about Alvin? What's up Alvin? Black Diamonds. J.B. Jerichek on the rookie gems for Columbus. I like that design. The Black Diamond it's clean. Yeah. Very clean. Is it a Black Diamond like a higher set? Yep. Adrian Kemp on the insert. It's like missing a plate or something like that or some sort of short-printed kit that one's called. Yeah and one of the Almanacs. There's Knight Sidney Crosby on that one too. This is like one of the throwbacks right there as well. What was I going to say? In Almanac one of the hits was a PSA 10 or a BGS 9-5 Crosby. Callahan Burke, Black Diamond Rookie, which is pretty sweet. Young Guns for the Avalanche again. We did Black Diamond last year. I think so. I think we did. We did one break of it. That is Diamond Dominance of Matthew Shane. There's Grant Clark on the first round rookies for the Kings. There's Tage Thompson on the foil. Red foil. Pavolski. Tom Wilson. Nice. This is cool. This is the Austin Matthews SPX. Forget what this one's called, but it has three different pictures of them in there, which is really cool. Awesome Matthews. Nice one there for the Maple Leafs checklist after this box. Nice. We've got the clear cuts of Patrice Bergeron for the Bruins on the All-Star card. Nice clear cut. Matthews, that's as cool as some of the Young Guns from the series too. They have the clear cuts, but the Young Guns one, those are like the big chases in this, like the big names. 2-1,000 is going to be Troy Stecker. 2-100 for the Coyotes. Victor Hedman on the star. There's Canvas, Sam Reinhart for the Panthers. Johnny Goudreau. Canvas is Travis Boyd Coyotes. Nice one there. Canvas is so clean there. I do kind of like rip an upper deck, like if I find it retail, I'll usually grab like a box. Going to do a random 1, 2, 3, left, 4, 5, 6, right. This will go for the rest of these extended checklists. It's going to be a 6. Going to go to Johnny Goudreau and the blue jackets. Again, if we get another one of these, we'll just give it to the other team, but that will go with that team. Young Guns is going to be Jean-Luc Faudi for the Avalanche. I don't know if you have a lot of Young Guns in this, I don't realize that. Wyatt Johnson, first round rookies for the Stars. There's Andrzej Birkowski. I didn't realize he was there on the Kraken.

Going to go to the... That's pretty cool. Ducks. That's like a base. Take a look at them back at that one. It's like three cards together. They're disappointing or not warring. Oh, I don't have it yet. I don't have it yet, Vaughn. It's still in transit. Dazzlers. Connor McDavid. There you go. Congrats on that. Ken with the Oilers. Cal, Yarncroak and base. I have a whole thing planned out for it. Oh, I don't want to be here the first day of it. Oh, you do. I don't, though. Oh, you do. 22 to go again, guys. That is through the year's mixer of Bowman. I'm just going to pull up the checklist really quick. I want to see what a couple of these inserts are called. Guru, back in the day, I didn't watch hockey, but hockey cards for some reason were the ones I'd get at stores most. Oh, yeah? I just feel like they're always in stores, dude. I might have been in it. Yeah, so that is the 9798 SPX insert is the Matthews that we pulled. See, even Vaughn says he didn't want to be here. Vaughn, of course, because it would be entertaining. Yes, it will be. It's not going to be entertaining to me. Oh, it's going to be very entertaining. The receiving hand of that, for sure. I'm trying to think, do we have any jingle products that I don't think we do? Oh, thank you. I don't care. We'll still jingle you no matter what.  Empty. All right, good luck here again, everybody. That is future fame, Alex Ovechkin. Throwback. Insert for the caps. Marcia So, that is going to be Chad Ruel Bass, I think. No, no, that's a penalty box insert. That's what that is. That's the penalty box photo variation. That's pretty cool, actually. They added those in for a couple of players this year. It's pretty sweet. Rookie Dominance of Brand Clark for the Kings. Young Guns, Mattage Blumell. Stars. They're black and green jerseys or something I would make in custom. Yeah, I know, right? Dylan Strom, canvas for the caps. It's very true. Always like black and neon green. Yeah, they're pretty sweet. That is Eric Carlson on the foil. Grubauer, that is Young Gun is going to be Bergeron and Holmberg. It's going to go to the right. Throw check. That is the 0708 SPX of E2 Rati for the Islanders. No William, I will not be. No, yeah, not tonight, unfortunately. Monday more than likely, y'all. Yes, canvas, John and Quick for the Kings. I don't think we have a personal on Monday. I don't think we do. I think it's just a day time and night time now. So Monday will probably be the next idea of personal. Oh, Steve, there's a Mark Shifley. I'm trying the work up there, though. Young Guns is, again, Aturati. The Donnie Wrangler needs to be present to that. True, very true. The Donnie Wrangler. Young Guns is going to be Mathias Macelli. Nice one there for the Coyotes. Not a true Young Gun, but a Young Gun insert. Quinn Hughes. Vincent Trocheck. David Creechy. That's going with Nita Ryder to the right. Aho and base. Alex O'Bashkin. The three cards he puts together to create a card. Really cool. That is going to be Smooth Grooves. Jaraj Slupkovsky. Wishing it would have looked up. Yep. Had on a swivel, Donnie. That is James Hamblin, Young Guns for the Oilers. Right when I was starting to like this product. That's what I'm here to do more than less. There's a David Gercheck for the Blue Jackets first round rookies. I'm in danger. Canvas Cam Talbot for the Senators. One car. Nice one there on the Black Diamond for the Avalanche. Turning into one of the best young players in the entire NHL. Canvas is Thatcher Demko. Nice one for the Canooks. Chuck. There's Trevor Segros. There's Jonathan Berzion for the Red Wings on the Rookie Gems. I'm pissed that Vaughn didn't see that Smooth Moves. Oh, Vaughn, you would be saved yourself. That is a Johnny Goudreau. Nice one there, Johnny Hockey. I'm jealous of Vaughn now. Darcy Kemper. Nice, Jack Quinn first round rookies because I didn't trust me. So I guess you're not so jealous of Vaughn now? No, we evenly had the indoor pain though. I think I had to deal with it most because I'm here. Oh, yeah, you're like, because you're like a couple inches. Yeah, I get pot seat to this madness. That's rough.  I'd be pissed if that was me. There's Dylan Holloway on the 0708 SPX insert. It's going to go with Nita Rider to the right. I can't hate on seeing too much data. He did give me my first Brian Dawkins card. Westbrook. Westbrook, that's it. Brian Westbrook. Ilya Sorokin, Canvas. Brian's again. Yeah, my first Westbrook card. Yeah, oh yeah. I think these are like 107, 108, something like that, DRock. I don't know if we have them in stock for personals. Logan Couture, Canvas for the Sharks. Nice one there. There you go. Macaroon. Vaughn and Contender's Optic, let's go. Anthony C with Contender's Optic. Tyrone H2, Tony Y, Contender's Optic. Jalease D, Random Play-A-Style. Young Gun, Samuel Urson for the Flyas. Patrice Bergeron. I forgot to do it today, but I was going through my cards and getting organized. I still have like 2020 score rookies. Oh yeah? I had two Tyler Huntleys and I should get one same. Oh man. Crosby, Sydney Crosby. I forgot to do it. Dammit. What am I ever going to do now, Donnie? I don't know.  Smooth Grooves is Brent Clerk. I was looking at the checklist today. It's like doing my research. Kaden Ghoul on the first round and I saw Smooth Grooves and I'm like, all right, there's something there for sure. I was thinking hard for like five minutes. That's like, what am I going to do for that? I'm sorry. There's Young Guns of Lucas Rykel. Sam's studying on products. Just what schtick he's going to have. Yeah. It's basically like, it's basically like mostly going through Samuel Poolein for the Penguins. Mostly going through and being like, all right, what do I need to look for? What teams? What this, that, this? And then as soon as I feel comfortable enough I'm like, all right, what schtick can I do now? That's where it is. Nick Siecek for the Sharks. Nice one there. Grats on that again. Mackerel is nice. Clear Dominance. David Pashnack. Nice pasta. Going to the Bruins. Canvas. Jamie Ben for the Stars. Oscar Olson, first round. Draftik. Yeah, a lot of select breaks up, everybody. If you are into select, we got a lot up for both the main and the second channel. I don't know how I feel about them adding a new level. Nick Paul with Canvas for the Lightning. I kind of agree with that. I feel like they already had a club. They're going to add sweet. It's like, I don't know. For us, we're joking about it. We're like, yeah, we're going to have parking lot level, leisure level, nosebleed level. We're going to have like drive into the stadium level. That's what it's on the trend for. Tim Stutzel for the Senators on the Black Diamond, honestly. We're like, how many more levels can we have, man? A lot of levels out there. A lot of levels. There's Dylan Gunther, Black Diamond Rookie for the Coyotes. We're going to have like 20-something levels with 40 different parallels. Collecting a rainbow is going to be impossible. Yeah, it's really going to be impossible. Ulysses Orokin, Kadrian Gadro. I'm going to go with whatever one doesn't have one yet. Dominic Kubalik. Just the way I'm going to go wherever. Whoever doesn't have it yet can have that one. Young Guns, Parker Wortherspoon. Islanders. Going to the Flames. Going to Flames. Going to the Flames. We're going to have Avicii levels eventually. Here's Rookie Dominance of... Who is it? Why can't I see it here? Kent Johnson, that's who it is. Two 1,000. Nice. Congrats on that blue jacket. Young Guns, Nick Siecek. Bathroom level. Oh, yeah, there's going to be... Oh, we're going to have to have all the foods, too. Nacho level, hot dog level, soda level, beer level, popcorn level, man. Canvas Black and White is Jack Hughes. Nice one there for the devils. They're just going to make an insert call concession. Oh, yeah. It's got to be concession level, for sure. Concession level, there you go. Concession level, yeah. That is SPX of Bouldy. Then the parallels will just be different food. Different food, yeah. They have like little hot dogs around there. Little nachos, dipped in cheese, soda, like little soda cups. We got to start trademarking these parallels. I know. I know. We got to stop talking about it. That's the thing. This can't be recorded, Donnie. Anthony Sie with two in hour through the year's mixer. Thank you, Anthony. Appreciate you, buddy. We're down to 20 to go on that, guys. Oh, owner's box, yeah. That'd be a good one. Yeah. Press box level. We're going to need that, for sure. Press proof is going to make it stay. You would select. Yeah, right, honestly. Going from Don Russ to select. Good Lord. I want to see like in 2030 and see how many levels. I guess. Well, I guess 2026. Yeah, there you go. Honestly. There's a Dazzler's Ramses, or Rasmus, darling. Blue medical level locker room level. That's got to be a big one. That would be cool though. If there was like awesome. If it was like images from like locker room wins for like big ones. Yeah, that would be cool. That would be pretty cool. There's like an insert or something. I can see that. Shane Wright, smooth grooves. Nice one there for the Kraken. Can you say something, Sam? I'm going to slam it his head into the desk over here. Poor guy. Kaden Gould for the Canadians. Field level, photo variations, one, two, and three. Yeah, good guy. Get a home jersey, away jersey, alternate. Yep, alternate. Young guns, William Bitten. I think I'd rather have that than have more levels. More parallels, yeah. There's Young Guns, Matej Blumell. Matej Blumell. All right, illegal and boner on this one. Canvas, UC Soros for the Fredders. Canvas, Nikita Alexandrov, Young Guns for the Blues. Jason Robertson, Black Diamond. And Kachuk in Needle Rider. Again, whoever doesn't have one yet. Black Diamonds, Kaden Gould, Rookie. Let's go back to the wild. Going back to the wild now, back to the wild. Patrick Lyne, Lou Jax. He's not ejecting toward all at all. Oh, no. Kenny Malkin. Let's get out, man. Guys, it's not even 5.30 yet. We can't have chat. I know, we can't be really, really out of hand quite yet. Kale McCar. We need to be at least six hours into the stream. Yeah. It's got to be like, the first number has to be in the double digits before we just start getting nutty. Young Guns, Simon Holstrom for the Islanders. What's the clock? It's 10. You guys, this is lovely. There's Jake Sanderson. Nice rookie there. Patrick Demko, my God. It's the weekend, though. Oh man. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing. There's Young Guns, Nick DeSimone. Should be driving into the parking lot level at this point. True. Very true. Is that Nick Purbix for the Lightning on the rookie SPX insert? Marcia So. That is Peter Kochetkov for the Hurricanes in the insert rookie. Tailgating level a little bit later. I was definitely going to be a tailgate level, for sure. Diamond Dominance is David Perrin for the Red Wings 2 at 1,000. Uh-oh, Steve's starting early. Oh man. Canvas, David Creechy for the Bruins. I almost said Bru Crew. I thought this was their Milwaukee Brewers.   Yeah, 8 to 11 is Bolligerent level, yes. Canvas, Kevin Fiala for the Kings. Yeah, that is Bolligerent off the rails. Crazy level right there. That is Samuel Poulin for the Penguins. First round traffic is Oscar Olson. Young Guns is Marco Rossi. Nice one there for the Wilds. And base. I'll do it for Box 4 on the Box 5 now.  See if you had any significant statistics in there. You probably haven't in the hole yet. Probably another 5 on Rossi. Ooh, that one's a 5-1. Nice. Play the White Sox. Have you guys seen that? I just saw a stat today. The White Sox have not had a left-handed batter hit a home run off a left-handed pitcher in two years. I would imagine it's pretty crazy. That's a wild stat. I don't know where that is in baseball. Adam Kemp? It seems like it shouldn't be a thing. No, I think statistically a lefty hitting off a lefty is the hardest combination of arm throws. That is Miko Renton into 1,000 for the avalanche because the way, the amount of spin you can get on a slider it makes it on hitables to some degree. But it's very bad that a left-handed batter has not hit off a left-handed pitcher. Mattesh Blumell, nice young guns canvas insert for the Stars. Roman Yossi, young guns, Nick DeSimone. Also guys, we're down to 19 to go on our through the years mixer now. We're into the teens here all of a sudden. Yeah, no, they don't have, I think they've got like one pure left-handed batter on their team. I forget who it is they were talking about. Ben Intendi, I think was their only left-handed batter. Canvas, Lawson Krauss for the Coyotes. The photography on upper deck though is awesome though. Especially the canvases. The canvases are sweet. Young guns, Simon, they're... Semion, they're... That's a tough one. That's a mouthful. Hello, Mr. Forrest. Hello, Forrest. Forrest, wait till you see the shtick for one of these inserts. Oh no, Forrest is going... Po-Hor-Vot for the Canucks. Jake Moonsill.  Significantly here. Oh, now I need to pull one. We don't. Yes, we do. Young guns, Matt Boldie. Nice one there. Michael Harris, Michael Harris. Like I said, my thumbnails aren't super random this week. Next week I'll make sure they're on par with yours for tomorrow. Dazzlers, Brayden Pashal for the Golden Knights. Is Ben attendee a righty? Oh, and Gavin Sheets is a righty. Gotcha. That is... Who is that? Robertson, that's who it is. Jason Robertson. Left. That's what I was going to say. They're lefties, yeah. Teemo Meyer. Is that Tristan Jari? Yeah, there's no insert in that. Or is that... Meyer. Jason's up here. Kyle Connor. Huh, I guess no insert in that one. Interesting. That was weird. Okay. Maybe the white socks just haven't had a lot of lefties. Maybe that's why the stats a little better. Nazine Kadri and a good row. Maybe, I don't know. That is a clear cut dominance of Kale McCarre. Nice one there for the Avalon. A good ol' hacky. There's Young Guns, Kareel Marchenko. Nice one there. He's like the Jason. This one is Marchenko. That's the best one, I think. That is Young Guns, E2 McEnie-Emmy. McEnie-Emmy. There's Cannabis. Michael Sturkerchev. Nice one for the Lightning. Cannabis. Matthew Kachuk for the Panthers. He's come up big in the playoffs, man. He's really good. Both the Kachuk brothers are pretty nasty. Yeah, he had the... He had the game time goal. Was it the winning goal? Yep. Definitely the game time. That is Patrick Kane. Nice one there for the Blackhawks. I didn't get to watch it, but it sounded like it was a really good game. Yeah, it was a good game. I watched like half the second, like some of the third. There's Jordan Everly for the Kraken. When does the shtick happen? It's a certain insert. There's a shtick on one of the inserts. You can guess which one of those fours probably won't be that hard to guess. There's Oscar Olson, Rookie Jemps. Creechy, Kachuk, and Nita Ryder. Sbash Naho, all stars. Nick Suzuki for the Canadians. Remember, he was a huge young gun when it came out. There's Simon Holstrom. Nice one there. Hello. Throw up an eagle. This guy needs to mix the water in. That's all I know. Him and Sean are going to have to be carried out of the bar. There's Shane Wright, first round draft pick. Where's this place's to be? There's Andre Kuzmenko on the holographics insert. And base. There's Nikita Kutrov for the lightning. Oh, it's illegal. Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. Bill isn't throwing up in the eagle. That's fine. They're going to just greet each other with emojis, though. Still needs to mix the water in, but that's, I guess, beside the point. Somebody needs to carry this guy home, though, for sure. And the only other person there is Sean. So not super optimistic about that happening. Kadri and Gadro on the checklist. There's Patrick Kane. I think that's 07 throwback, because that's like the same year that Odin and Durant.  And guys, 19 to go. Let's get that filled up. That is the through the years Bowman mixer. Hey, what do you mean something went wrong? You went wrong. Got him. Whoa, prepare for it. This stick. There's Phillip Crawl. Maple Leafs, Dazzles. What else would it be? This stick, for sure. That is Young Guns of... No coats or no kit. Excuse me for the... Okay, come on here. You're starting to annoy me a little bit. Restream. You're starting to bug me a bit. Somebody say something on Restream real quick. Hi. That doesn't help. No. That is... Smooth Grooves, Adam Fox. For the Rangers. I want a scream. Well, you're all done now, luckily. Ryan Murphy. It's a 1 per box. I think it's 1 per box, yeah. Clayton Caller, that's what it is in the French insert. He's an oiler scout. Something on Restream real quick. Do you see the stick, Forrest? Callehan Burke. Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? That one's not that bad. I used to... I gave it away to Tyler Tucker. I used to have a use an oiler's hat. But I gave away... I donated all my snapbacks before I moved down to Florida. I couldn't really wear them. I feel like this Smooth Grooves is just like a folkadelic hockey. James Reimer. I can't miss pretty much, yeah. Because it's like 1 a box. Sometimes you don't get one. Ooh, that's cool. That's Stan McKita for the Blackhawks. Upper Deck Canvas on the Legends inserts. There's like 1 in 190, 192 packs or something like that. Nice, nice short print. 4 at Chicago. Tage Thompson, Black Diamond insert. Jack Quinn, Rookie Gems. Kyle Conner on the star. There's Robert Thomas. The throwback. Missing a couple of... A few teeth for sure. Yeah, they're missing a couple of teeth for sure, Steve. Diamond Dominance. Rookie is going to be... Peter Kochekov to 1,000. Might have to get that Sky Blue Oilers fitted. That'd be pretty sweet, to be honest. Yeah, this is the throwback Diamondbacks. Dazzlers. Kachuk. Nice one there for the Panthers. So weird seeing him not as a flame, too. Frederick Anderson. Roman Yossi on the French parallel. So we'll read the back of that one. Alright. Just look at the back of it. Beau Horvath. Is that in French? Oh, yeah. Alright. Pretty sweet. I mean, I can't read it, so... There's Parker Witherspoon. Young Guns. Yeah, the old D-back stuff is awesome. Like the starter jackets and stuff. That is Golden Knights Mark Stone on the 97-98 SPX insert. Is that like the throwback color, you mean? Yeah, like the tee... A lot of teams did the purple and the teal in the late 90s, early 2000s. Yeah, I remember. Like the Raptors and the Marlins. Sunny Milano, upper to Canvas for Washington. Canvas, Frank Petrano. Nice one there for the Ducks. Ducks. The Ducks, as I like to say. Sam Reinhardt, Black Diamond. I did that before.  Ducks. Alright, the Hornets had it too, yeah. The Hornets were like classic for that purple and teal. Young Guns. Yusso Parsonin. Jazz, yep, jazz, another one. Good call, good call. Taco Bell. Yeah, Taco Bell, yep, yep. Very true, very true. Mitch Marner is going to be Young Guns of Matesh Blue Melt for the Stars. That'll do it for the break, guys. Don't hit or anything. Not really anything to recap, I would say. But thank you guys again for getting this filled up. Up next, we've got Skybox.


What's your advice to them, to start new businesses, increase the levels of employment for the fifty percent unemployed youth that we have in our country and grow our economy so that everybody can be more prosperous, one percent or not? There are many things that need to be done, there's no one particular thing. But entrepreneurship is something that needs a certain psychological ecology of its own. You will see those youth who come from business families so effortlessly create businesses. Those who don't come from that ecosystem, they struggle and struggle and they can't figure it out. It's not lack of intelligence, it is lack of experience and exposure. So I would say one of the things is the youth who are willing to, wanting to do something, I'm sure there are many, many of them, if some kind of selection can be made and they're exposed to enterprises in similar conditions. Let's say in rural India, how people, any number of enterprise, India is a land of enterprise because till 2000, only three percent of Indians were employed, ninety-seven percent were self-employed. So whether he may be selling five kilograms of vegetable or fruit or maybe a very large billion dollar business, it doesn't matter. Even he understands how to do business, where he has to position himself, what he has to say, what he should not say. These are simple things, but till you're in it, you don't learn. So learning this experience, not necessarily from the public, but there are institutes and institutions in India which can teach entrepreneurship. We ourselves in Asia are starting a leadership academy in Bangalore city where youth from these countries can come and get exposed to variety of enterprise. I mean the incredible thing right now in India is the variety of enterprise is unbelievable. When you go for so much enterprise, some of them will fail, so it needs a net to hold them so that they don't fall back onto the street or hang from a tree, which is unfortunately happening here and there. But it is time to do that because we have chosen market economy. There is no other way than to unbridled enterprise. Is it the best thing? I'm saying no, but right now to get people out of their poverty situations, to make sure everybody eats. When I say everybody eats, in India it's very true, I'm sure here also to some extent, but wherever I go, in any country, first thing I see is what's the condition of the children. I find to my joy the condition of the South African children is way better than the conditions of the Indian children in rural India. It's a very good thing to see. At least they're better nourished for whatever reason. In India this is true that a child has to go to school and spend eight hours there, but he's not eaten what he needs to eat to stay alert for these eight hours and grasp whatever he's supposed to grasp.  Or a pregnant woman has not eaten what she should eat to produce a lively, healthy child. These are terrible things. But these terrible things are happening because populations are large and we are not able to create a social net. So this is why this corporate social responsibility was brought in. But people find ways to use this money in so many different ways, that's another matter. But social net has to happen. But the danger of social nets is always about destroying the work culture and breeding lethargy. This is something the administrators have to carefully... I would say it needs a certain level of heartlessness where tough decisions have to be made. People are suffering but still you make tough decisions so that long-term it works out well for you, that today you start doling out food to everybody, you will see.


At AASTEE, we are building applications that utilize machine intelligence technology for solving large problems. The real uniqueness in AASTEE comes from our core idea behind the technology which is that data has shape and shape has meaning. Anything that's statistically significant about a data set is actually a characteristic or a feature that's expressed in the shape of the data. Over the past many years, we've made it super convenient and cheap to construct large data sets. The fundamental problem is that the space of questions, the possible hypotheses, grows so much more rapidly that it's no longer feasible to just ask your questions, there's just too many to ask. So the technology that we have developed basically automatically discovers insights from data without the need of asking questions upfront. There are two types of large problems that we are engaged in solving today. We are engaged in building software that mimics what people do like vision software, speech software. But there's also a set of problems that are fundamentally larger than sort of a human scale problem, right? Things like constructing better models of fraud for insurance companies, discovering drugs, things like constructing better care pathways for hospitals. We as a company expect to make a huge change in these areas. For example, discovering cures for diseases is a problem that's fundamentally larger and more complex. When you're constructing a drug, you collect data about patients, right?  And for every patient, you will measure, you know, anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of genetic markers with their clinical information. You kind of have to figure out, you know, what does a disease look like? Is it a single disease? Does it have multiple categories in it? Which features, which combinations of genes represent these categories? And how might you construct a drug? These are all problems that are beyond human scale problems. They are not intuitive for us, in which something that might have taken a decade to do, people can do in minutes on their computer now. Innovation to me is a sense of adventure. It's the way in which you basically make science fiction possible. And in some sense, that's something that really drives us at AASTI is because our software enables people to be much more innovative because they can discover things in data that they might never have thought about. And that's really what keeps us motivated and interested in building a better future. My name is Gurjeet Singh. I'm one of the co-founders and the CEO of AASTI.


Live from Orlando, Florida. It's theCUBE, covering ServiceNow, Knowledge 17. Brought to you by ServiceNow. We're back in Orlando. I'm Dave Vellante with Jeff Frick. Kerry Cullity is here. She's the advisory managing director of healthcare solutions for KPMG. Kerry, good to see you. Good to see you. You're in Boston, center of a lot of healthcare action going on in Boston. Yeah, absolutely. And they use specialty. So give us the update. Tell us about your role and the practice of KPMG. Yeah, absolutely. So as I said, I work at KPMG as a managing director in healthcare solutions. I lead up our enterprise asset management offering, our solution that healthcare organizations are now starting to actually take a look at. It's, you know, with all the mergers and acquisitions that have occurred in healthcare today, it's a good place for cost savings. And so we're seeing a lot of CFOs and other executive leadership really starting to take a look at their enterprise asset management strategy. So how do you organize enterprise assets in healthcare hospitals or giant places? They got a ton of assets from expensive MRI machines to lots of rubber gloves and everything of it. Yeah, so it's a big task. I mean, it's something that organizations haven't thought about. So, you know, all these organizations are being asked to cut costs and it's a really good place to start. Because as you said, there's some really high ticketed priced items such as MRI machines, IV pumps and, you know, also, so they look at it from a clinical perspective, which is really clinical engineering. And they also look at it from a facility's perspective, which is the safety of not only your patients but also your customers as well. So they're really looking at it two different categories from a clinical and a facility's perspective. So how does KPMG help these organizations? Maybe you could describe how they engage with you. Yeah, absolutely. So one of the things that KPMG does is we come in and actually take a look at what their systems look like today, look at their current state and look at where their future state wants to be. So really doing an assessment of their workflows, processes, people and technology and help them really put a roadmap in place to be successful in getting an enterprise management, enterprise strategy in place. So when you do an assessment like that, is it a big data collection exercise? You got to get the right constituents in the room. You heard all the cats. Can you describe that? Yeah, absolutely. So some of the challenges is that today is that they have multiple disparate systems across the organization. So they could have 10 legacy systems that are not cloud-based, that aren't online. Everything's very manually driven. So we go in and we conduct business analysis workflows with their certain teams. We start either in facilities or clinical, depending upon where their biggest pain point is. And then we actually gather all that data and information and understand where they're not in sync with each other because getting all of your folks at the same time, at the right time, thinking how do we standardize and consolidate across the organization is probably one of the biggest challenges that they have today. Now, how granular do you get in an assessment like that? It can be very granular. Sometimes we actually do physical inventory. So from a clinical perspective, especially if they had gone through mergers and acquisitions, they could have 14 different facilities with 14 different pieces of equipment in it so we can get down to the granular level of actually doing physical inventory accounts because a lot of times these leadership doesn't even know. They could have the same piece of equipment in 14 different places and they're paying duplicate maintenance contracts, which really comes down to the vendor management aspect of it so we can go as granular as the physical inventory all the way up to the putting together the entire strategy around the people process and technology. So how does service now fit? So service now, that's actually a great question. One of the things that organizations that have made the investment in service now is typically, especially in the healthcare setting, has made it in the IT space. And so this really allows them to leverage that investment and bring it out into other parts of their business, such as the clinical engineering, the facilities, and really you start to see that standardized and consolidated platform across the organization. So you work with your colleagues who have a service now practice, right? And then you sort of hunt within those guys that have adopted, say for instance, ITSM and then say, okay, hey, look what else we can do for you. Yeah, so we're working with a lot of the vendors that actually have built the enterprise asset management software. Service Now actually has an enterprise asset management solution as well. They've also, they partner with other organizations that look at it from a workflow, a whole entire work life cycle aspect of it. So we work very closely with our service now team because a lot of these organizations have built their service now platform and been able to take that and bring it into other parts of the business is critical for success. So KPMG obviously is independent, you're agnostic to technology and not supposed to play favorites, but like John Donahoe said yesterday, and you know that my daughter's my favorite. That was classic. That was good. So how do you, now at the same time, of course you know certain technologies fit a particular use case, they have their strategic fit. So where is the Service Now strategic fit? Yeah, Service Now is in a lot of healthcare organizations today when cloud became the big thing. They are already in a lot of our customers so what we do is we actually work with our service now counterparts both from a Service Now perspective and also from a KPMG Service Now team and understand what those roadmaps look and how do they continue to mature the Service Now platform. I would say 99% of the time Service Now is the platform of choice because it's so easy to use. I'm sure you've heard that quite a bit and they can customize it to make it fit for them. So a lot of times because of our partnership with Service Now it just is a good fit for both the client and for us and for Service Now. So are you managing a global organization? So I manage the US right now. We have spoken to other large healthcare organizations so what's happening now is that we're seeing our clients are really starting to look at, okay how do we look at our enterprise asset management from a physical contractual help us make better enterprise-wide business decisions and now we're actually starting to see that go into not only the healthcare providers but also into the clients that actually support them as well. So we've worked with some large in Germany we were talking to them about how they can kind of start to play in this whole space as well. So just shifting gears a little bit, you know healthcare always gets knocked for being laggards on technology but you know we've had a couple of people on the show the last couple of days that are involved in healthcare and I'm just kind of curious to your perspective. You know is that a legitimate knock? Is that changing if it is? And if it is changing kind of where do you see the opportunities for them to catch up, get ahead because it's such a big industry it's such a big spin, so much facility. I think we're seeing it shift a little bit. I think you know they have been a little bit slow as far as technology goes because there's been so many competing projects such as regulatory issues, the whole you know now we're in the repel and replace so everyone's trying to figure out exactly what that means for them as an organization. We do see that shifting because it's becoming a very customer focused, the customers driving you know whether it be the customer or the patient it's they're driving a lot of these organizations to start saying you know we need technology because we need it's a very competitive market as you said and we need them to stay within our organization or they're going to go elsewhere for the care and so we're actually seeing really us as consumers of healthcare really pushing them in that direction that they need to start looking at technology more seriously. So what's the vision where do you take this you know midterm long term? Yeah I think the vision is is that one first is it gives them an opportunity as we said to leverage the investment that they've made in their current technology such as ServiceNow to bring it into other parts of their business it also allows them to start really putting you know the challenges that they have and to make enterprise wide business decisions as they move forward. I think you'll see them starting to look at not only just from a facilities and clinical perspective I think you'll start to see that really branch out into that entire continuum of care. How about this show? I know you're kind of doing it in and out but have you had a chance to walk around check out your booth? It's been amazing it's been great it's amazing the amount of partners that ServiceNow has in their ecosystem and I've learned a great deal the keynotes have been fantastic. So I'm looking forward to see what they do next year I know that when they last year it was 12,000 and this year it's up to 15,000 so it's quite a growth. Back to Vegas. Yeah exactly. Bigger hallway.
