Okay guys, welcome to another episode of the RT Trio. So this is this month's mood board. If you would like a copy of the mood board and maybe share whatever you do inspired by the mood board with me and the other teachers, Mike Deacon and Bea Grob, you can join our Facebook group RT Trio which is linked down below. All right, so this month I am responsible for the mood board and I'm really inspired by the colors of nature at the moment and I wanna do another experiment. I think it's gonna be something sort of abstract. I'm not actually sure at the moment of filming this but I guess we're gonna find out together, right? I'm gonna use my jelly gouache and I'm gonna pick out some appropriate colors and we'll see where we go. This is my journal that I do lots of art experiments in and we're gonna just take it one color at a time. All right, let's see where we go with this and I'll be right back. Okay, after sitting on it last night and thinking about it, I haven't edited the video yet, I thought I would give some further explanation to what I did with this month's RT Trio mood board. So I've been endlessly fascinated, I would say lately but it's not lately, with the idea of mid-century modern abstracted kind of art and I know lately I have been seeing lots of home decor DIYs that are inspired by said art and I actually, a few years ago, designed a line of stamps and stencils that are in my Etsy shop which is linked down below that are in that same vein and my friend Mike Deacon has some stuff too over at his shop, I'll link his shop down below. So as soon as I saw this month's mood board for whatever reason, I decided to go that way probably because I did this triptych recently, hang on. Seriously, hang on. So I did this triptych recently, these are six by six canvases and it is for sale in my Etsy shop, again the link for that, my shop is down below and I think because I just finished this piece, it was still in the back of my mind and I wanted to do some further exploration with this kind of abstracted idea. I did use some of my stencils for this piece and I did film it at the moment. I can't remember if it's on this channel or if it's on the Patriot only channel, I don't know but it was a pretty easy piece to do and it was done in the same idea as the video you're about to watch. So anyway, that's where my thinking was for this month's mood board and that's where I went with it and I had a lot of fun with it and I will be doing some further exploration with this. I hope it gives you some ideas of what you can do. Now let's get started. I would love to see where you guys go with this and I can't wait to see what Bea and Mike do with it. If you do post something in the Facebook group, please tag me in the post so that I can see it and like and comment and I hope that you guys have fun with this month's challenge.  Bye guys.


Well, tonight, we welcome good friends back to the White House, friends who have been too long absent. In the years since your last visit, President Suardo, much has transpired in your country and in ours, and in Asia and the Pacific, where we both share so many interests. Yet, during these dynamic and often turbulent years, there have been elements of stability, important elements. Most among these has been the wise and steadfast leadership, which you have given Indonesia since 1966. Out of a period of uncertainty and disorder, you have guided your country into the forefront of the Asian community of nations and made its influence felt throughout the world. You will pardon me, I hope, Mr. President, if I recognize here tonight what is already apparent to the nations of the world. And Indonesia, under your leadership, has assumed its rightful position as a great nation of Asia and of the world. A second factor of stability since the 1960s, Mr. President, has been the excellent bilateral relations which have existed between Indonesia and the United States. Our relationship has stood the test of time in a changing world. It's firmly rooted in mutual respect and a clear-sided recognition of where the interests of both our nations lie. Mr. President, I fully share the importance that you attach to the further strengthening and expansion of the relationship between our two countries. To that end, it is my pleasure to announce tonight my decision to nominate as my personal representative to your government, someone well-known to you and in whom I have the utmost confidence, Assistant Secretary John H. Holdridge. I was looking too far away, sir. As you are aware, Assistant Secretary Holdridge is our most senior diplomatic experienced in East Asian affairs. In commending him to the Senate for its advice and consent, I shall do so, assure that no one is better qualified to continue on my behalf the frank and mutually beneficial dialogue which has marked your visit here and which is so essential to the advancement of mutual understanding between our two countries and the achievement of our common purposes. During our most fruitful discussions today, I have had the benefit of your experience and insight. You have clearly outlined the great challenges facing your country, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the other nations of Asia which seek to live in peace. I come away from our talks more convinced than ever that we share this common view, that the greatest need for the countries of Southeast Asia is for rapid, equitable development free from outside interference and in an atmosphere as peace will change. I also appreciated your views on the situation in the Middle East. The special interests of both our nations in that troubled region make it imperative that peace be pursued vigorously. Lasting solutions will not come easily, however, and I earnestly ask that all nations support efforts in this pursuit of peace. In our talks, we devoted much attention to global economic recovery. I'm convinced the world economic conditions will improve with national self-restraint and sound financial management for continued growth. These qualities have characterized Indonesia's economic policy since 1966 and serve as a persuasive example for other nations of the developing world. I would also take note of the important role which Indonesia plays in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. In our view, ASEAN offers the best hope for the fulfillment of national aspirations in the region and it provides an important example of common purpose for us all. Finally, I wish to compliment the wide range of charitable and humanitarian programs inspired by Madam Soharto. Nancy and I personally wish you both good health and the utmost success in realizing the aspirations of your people. I would like to return to the White House to the friends who have made no progress here. In the last few years, there have been a lot of progress, both in our country and in Asia and in the Pacific region, where both of us have made a lot of progress together. This is a dynamic that will often be lost, but there is a lot of important stability. The most prominent among them is the leadership of the rich and the good, which has been given to Indonesia since 1966. From the uncertain and disturbing times, the rich have led the nation to the front of the people of Southeast Asian Nations and have caused the influence all over the world. Forgive me, young people, if I admit at this time something that has been clear for the country of this world, namely that Indonesia under the leadership of the rich has taken the right to exist as a big nation in Asia and in the world. Unfortunately, the second stability since 1960 is a very good relationship between Indonesia and the United States. Our relationship has proven to be a test of time in a world that has continued to change. That relationship is strong in the sense of respect and understanding based on the journey where both countries are important to us. Tonight, I would like to give my nomination to one of the people who has known me well, namely Secretary-General John H. Holdridge, as our leader in the country of the rich. With our conversation today, I am able to use the experience and knowledge of the rich. The rich have taken a clear picture of the big challenges faced by Indonesia, the international relations between the Asian countries and other countries in Asia that want to live in peace. After our conversation, I am sure, even more than before, that we both have this vision, namely that the main need for the Asian countries is rapid and comprehensive development, free from the poverty of the rich and in the change of the rich. I also thank the rich for their support in the Middle East, because the importance of our two countries in the region that is full of challenges is that it is important that the expansion is carried out with full enthusiasm, but the expansion of the rich is not easy to find. And I want all the countries in the world to support the efforts to achieve the expansion. In our conversation, we have paid a lot of attention to the education of the world economy. I am sure that the world economy will continue to be good, with the efforts to improve the health and development of the economy for the next generation. The efforts have been carried out by the Indonesian economy since 1966, and it is an example that will ensure for other countries in the world that are developing. I also want to thank the important role that Indonesia has played in supporting the Asian countries. According to our view, Asia gives the best hope for the national history in that region and becomes the foundation of the important history for all of us. Finally, I want to test the program of human and human, which is in Ilhamidonya, Suharto. In this spirit, let me now offer a toast to the President and the people of Indonesia and to mutual respect, dedication to peace, and our common desire for a better world. I also want to thank the President and the people of Indonesia, and to mutual respect, dedication to peace, and our common desire for a better world. I also want to thank the President, the people of Indonesia, and the people of Indonesia. Once again, I would like to thank the people of Indonesia, the people of Indonesia, and we are very happy to share this message with the people of Indonesia. I also want to thank the people of Indonesia for their good intentions and for supporting the countries, the people of Indonesia and the people of Indonesia. Your Excellency, Mr. President, and Mrs. Reagan, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, once again I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the warm welcome and hospitality accorded me during my present visit to the United States in accepting the invitation of Your Excellency, Mr. President. Your kind words, Your Excellency, have impressed me as indication of the close friendly relation and mutual understanding between our two countries. As I have said this morning, Your Excellency, the main purpose of my current visit is to reiterate the friendship between our two countries. The friendship between our two countries has a strong foundation because there is only a similarity between our two countries, which we hold dear, such as the independence, freedom, democracy, and human rights. We feel the presence of friendship in the deep understanding and support from the United States when we fight and maintain the national sovereignty 37 years ago. The understanding that we have in it, we feel, among other things, is the sadness of the United States, together with other countries, last year, in helping the development of the economy and our society. Your Excellency, Mr. President, the friendship between our two countries has a solid foundation because of the similarity of our two nations with regard to the noble values which we hold dearly, such as freedom and independence, democracy, and humanitarianism. We perceive the manifestation of such friendship from the deep understanding and support of the American nation when we struggled for and defended our national independence 37 years ago. We acknowledge such deep understanding, again, among other things, the willingness of the United States, together with other IGGI countries a dozen of years ago, to assist our economic and social development. For all this, I would like to avail myself of this opportunity to extend, once again, the highest appreciation of the government and people of Indonesia to the government and people of the United States of America. We believe that the problems of the development that we face are also part of the problems of the human race. If up to now, two or three human race are still struggling in the struggle to fight poverty, backache, lack of knowledge, and disease, then that is the real cause of what I said earlier. We consider that the problem of development that we face is also actually a part of the struggle to fight poverty. We think that the problem of development that we face is also actually a part of the that we face is also actually a part of the problem of the human race. If until now, two-thirds of the human race are still striving in the struggle against poverty, backwardness, ignorance, and disease, this clearly indicates the real situation of what I have said earlier. It is therefore necessary to create an international climate that enables the unhindered development of all nations. But today, such a climate is still far from expectation. Today, the world is suffering from a long drawn-out economic recession beside the upheavals occurring in various regions. Indeed, there have been many attempts to raise various concerns, but the result does not guarantee a clear solution. In terms of solving the basic solution and improving the existing conditions from the challenges in this world, then the only answer is that all nations, big or small, strong or weak, both are struggling with the desire to build a new world that guarantees political justice, economic justice, and social justice. This cannot be different. We must be united and work together from all nations in our world. Because with the risk of a connection between nations, the progress brought by the human race and the future, the world must be united and work together from all nations. Indeed, there have been many efforts made to overcome these various disturbances, but the outcome has not ensured its total solution. In the framework of trying to find a fundamental solution and to achieve an overall improvement of the inequalities in the world, the one and only answer is that all nations, big or small, strong or weak, strive together, motivated by the firm determination to build a new world order which guarantees political justice, economic justice, and social justice. Unavoidably, it must be the common stand and concerted efforts of all nations on our unitary planet. Because with a growingly closer relation amongst nations, due to the progress brought about by the human civilization present and in the future, whether we like it or not, we must consider the world as the common homeland of all nations. We hope and believe that under the leadership of the United Nations, we will be able to bring this world to a greater scale, which will end human rights and human rights. In the world that is full of concern, of course, the world view, especially developed countries, is for at least once suitable for the United States. I, under the leadership of the President, the United States will not stop trying to bring stability and prosperity to the world, as well as to ensure the balance of human rights. The power of these great nations, as well as its bright future, which is full of concern, commitment to humanity, giving great opportunities to the United States to take an important role in the efforts of all human beings to create a world that is stable, stable and prosperous. I am aware that it is not easy to build a new world order. There must be, therefore, concrete steps which will at least prevent the deterioration of world developments, which may cause our solitary world to fall into the abyss of greater disaster, which may probably terminate the history of man and mankind. In such a world situation filled with anxiety, obviously the world's attention, particularly of the developing countries, is focused for its obtained times on the United States. We hope and believe that under the wise leadership of your Excellency, Mr. President, the United States will try unceasingly to create world stability and peace and to prevent catastrophe to the human race. The strengths of this great nation, its glorious past history, its commitments to mankind, provide ample chance to the United States to play an important role in the endeavors of the whole of the mankind to create a stable, peaceful and prosperous world. That is all. I think it is a very valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with the President and the U.S. government during my visit this time. I believe that my visit will burden the stability, the understanding, and the cooperation between our two countries, especially in the economy. Finally, let me invite Mr. President and Mr. President to join the class and drink the health and happiness of the President and Mr. President for the cooperation of the United States and for the cooperation between our two countries. It is primarily to carry the common responsibility of creating such a world that I consider as highly significant. The exchange of views that I have had with Your Excellency, Mr. President, and other American leaders during my current visit. I am convinced that my present visit will further reinforce the friendship, enhance the mutual understanding, and expand the cooperation between our two countries, particularly in the economic field. In conclusion, permit me to kindly invite the distinguished guests to the class and join me in a toast to the health and happiness of His Excellency, Mr. President, and Mrs. Reagan, to the prosperity of the people of the United States of America, and to the everlasting friendship between our two countries. Thank you. Over there, she did it without a microphone. Okay, I'll use the microphone. But let me tell you what the world is saying about this daughter of Somerville, New Jersey. They thought she had the voice of an angel. In London, they found her irresistible. Newsweek Magazine said she came across like a rainbow. And Time Magazine calls her a smashing success. You know, Frederick, if you practiced, you could get some decent reviews. I think my mother wrote those. One newspaper referred to you as one of opera's jewels.  And we thank you. I think speaking for everyone here. Thank you.


So today I wanted to do a video on some time-saving tips for studying when it comes to studying our goal should be to study More effectively and smarter not harder So I've compiled a couple tips for you guys on how to make the most of your studying time My first tip is to write down what you want to accomplish while you're studying Whether that is to read your textbook for 10 minutes or that is to rewrite your notes Or that is to study and collect questions write down very specifically your study plan for that day Or you can write a study plan for that week. Whatever works best for you I prefer day-to-day lists of things I want to accomplish So when it comes to studying I like to write a list out of what I want to accomplish in that study session My next tip is to use question banks to help enhance the knowledge that you're learning Whether you're a nursing school or you're a nurse one a great question bank site is board vitals because they are geared towards Healthcare professionals like nurses you can go on and select that you're a nurse and then select which topic you're studying for They have question banks for critical care nurses They have question banks for the NCLEX and you also can go on and select which topic you're wanting to focus on So if you're taking your Pharmacology class right now you can go on and select that you want to do pharmacology questions Question banks are a great resource to be able to get through a lot of content Really quick and help glue in what you are learning. I'll have board vitals linked down below So you guys can check them out if you guys are interested. My next tip is to study for Small amounts of time but more frequently So studying should be more like a sprint rather than a marathon You should really sit down and only study for about 20 to 30 minutes Because anything after that your mind just becomes mush and you're not going to retain content as well If you think about it if you have 20 minutes of time and you know You only have 20 minutes to study you're going to study a lot more efficiently in that time Then you would if you have 10 hours because think about it when you have 20 minutes to run to the grocery store Or to get your house cleaned up You are working really hard to get that done in that time frame rather than if you have 10 hours to get that Done you're gonna push it off into the last minute and you're gonna just do a lazy job because you know You have all that time to get that done same thing when it comes to setting you can do things We're just a short amount of time whether you spend 20 minutes going over your PowerPoint from nursing school that day Or you spend 20 minutes working on some NCLEX questions from board vitals use that time Efficiently set a timer and just get it done. My last tip is to make sure that you are taking study breaks So study for 20 minutes take a 20 minute break or an hour break study for another 20 or 30 minutes Take another break that way your mind can be refreshed you need to have that balance when it comes to studying between Getting in that content and making sure you understand it But also making sure your mind has something else to focus on other than just nursing school So go on a run go to the gym read a book hang out with a friend go grab coffee take a nap Whenever you want to do do something for yourself in that time So those are my study tips one write down what you want to accomplish to use a reliable question bank source Like the ones from board vitals three study for short amounts of time like 20 or 30 minutes and four make sure you are taking breaks I hope this helps you guys study more efficiently more effectively helps you study smarter not harder And let me know if you guys have any other tips in the comments down below Thank you guys for watching and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye


Hi, this is Dr. Don. I have a problem out of Chapter 9 on regression, simple linear regression. And in this problem, we're given some data which I'm not showing here, and it's the links and girths of harbor seals. How big around the middle are they? We need to find the regression equation, reconstruct a scatter plot with a regression line, then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given values of x, if meaningful. If the x value is not meaningful, predict the value of y, explain not. Well, remember we can only predict safely for x values that are within the range of our data. If we're outside the range of our data, then we're on shaky ground, so we're not being meaningful. We're going to do this using StatCrunch. So, I'm going to open up StatCrunch now. Okay, I have StatCrunch open. Remember you can click on the little blue rectangle if you're in my StatLab and have the data open directly or you can copy and paste it in. As I like to do is I can control where it goes. Anyway, we have our x values listed there, the length, the y value, the girth, and we're just going to go, first of all, because we want to check and make sure that we're not predicting out of our data range, we want to find the maximum values. Now, this is not a large amount of data, but if you had a large amount of data, you couldn't just inspect it very easily. So, what I like to do is go to Summary stats, rows, select my column, move this again, and I want to scroll down here until I get the min and the max, and click Compute. And I'm going to bring this answer over here, and you can see the minimum x we have is 123, the max x we have is 168. So, if our x value that we're predicting for is less than 123, it's not reliable. If it's more than 168, it's not reliable. And that's good to know. We're going to get the regression by going to stat, regression, simple linear. And it brings up this dialog box, and we want to select the x variable, which they tell us nicely, x, and the y variable. We're going to perform the hypothesis test, and we don't have to change anything here. But down in this section, we want to put the values of x that we're going to predict for. And you click in there, and you start typing 140, 172, 164, 158. And the level that we're going to predict for, the 95%, we don't have to worry about, we can just leave that default, and we're going to click compute. And we get our answers up here. And we get the regression equation there, y equal 9.758 or 9.759, which is the intercept. And the slope is 0.695 times x, the length. We've got our correlation coefficient, r of 0.919, which is pretty highly correlated. And then we can look down here on the bottom, and we can get our predicted values of y for each value of x. Now 140 is okay, 140, the predicted value y is 107.09, or 107.10. The 172 is outside our range, that's more than our max, therefore that's unreliable. 164 is inside the range, 123.78, and 158 is in the range, so that's okay too, 119.61. To get our graph, we just click the little arrow there, and here's our graph, and then we just need to compare this to the graph that we have on our options and pick the right one by looking where the intercept is, looking to see if it's a positive from lower left to upper right slope, and then looking where the different data points. So you just select the right answer that way. So that's a quick way to do this using StatCrunch. In the next video, I'll show you how to do the same problem using Basic Excel. Hope this helps.


This study examined the effects of increased ethanol demand on sugarcane cultivation in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The study found that between 2003 and 2008, the amount of sugarcane grown in the state increased significantly due to the introduction of flexible fuel vehicles. Additionally, the study noted that the majority of this growth occurred on pastureland and annual cropland with equal distribution across both types of land. Furthermore, the study found that the amount of burnt sugarcane decreased significantly in response to a protocol designed to reduce the amount of sugarcane straw burned. Overall, this study demonstrates how remote sensing imagery can be used to evaluate the impact of ethanol production on sugarcane cultivation in Brazil.

And now your host, Dave Vellante. Hi, everybody, we're back. This is theCUBE. theCUBE is SiliconANGLE Wikibon's continuous coverage of the events around the IT industry. We're at VMworld 2015. This is our sixth year covering VMworld. And you know, I'm here with David Floria. David, everybody says this has become a storage show and it's a huge percentage of the content is storage. Narayan Venkata series, the CMO of Tejial. Tejial, Tejial. Tejial, yes, that is. Welcome to theCUBE, it's great to have you. And Tejial is a company that is in the heart of that storage land, disrupting transformation. So welcome again and thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me on the show. It's always a delight to have a discussion with you. So talk a little bit about what you guys are doing here. We want to get into the whole, you know, what's going on in the industry, but what's happening across the street, you know, in your booth, what are customers talking about? Absolutely, I mean, as you walk through the show floor, I mean, I'd say 50% of the companies exhibiting there are enterprise storage companies, right? So we're certainly in the heart of it, right? We've been in business for about five years. We are an enterprise flash storage company with a twist in the sense that we can do all flash and hybrid in the same system, right? And it goes back to the earlier discussion we had which is as customers look at enterprise storage systems, it's really the question of how much performance acceleration and business acceleration can I get and what are the economics associated with it, right? So we believe that any storage system out there, whether it's all flash or hybrid, right, needs to deliver on the economics as well as the performance. And we are in the market with a single platform that allows you to deploy both flash, all flash and hybrid with exactly the same feature set so that customers can deploy a variety of different applications that, you know, they gain the benefit of performance acceleration at the right economics. So we're going to talk about more, David, about the piece you wrote, the whole breaking down in latency and capacity storage and you guys fit into both of those segments but maybe you could talk a little bit about sort of where you're winning, how you're differentiating. I mean, there's so many storage companies but there's several like yourselves that are doing really well. So it underscores a couple of things. One, there's a problem with the sort of status quo and this huge market that continues to grow. So maybe talk a little bit about how you're different and where you're winning. Perfect, now I'll start at, you know, go back a few 10 years, right? We've seen this wave of virtualization, right? 10 years ago, you know, people were barely scratching the surface in terms of virtualization. Today, every customer you talk to is nearly 100% virtualized. So what that has done, essentially, is increase the amount of consolidation, the number of virtual machines that customers are spinning up for their applications. It's just several orders of magnitude what it was 10 years ago. So with that, it's actually changed the requirements for sustainable performance from your storage infrastructure.  You've seen a dramatic wave of new companies coming in to challenge their position. Why? By taking a different approach to storage, by leveraging the evolution in Flash and delivering tremendous performance acceleration and better economics than incumbents. So for example, you know, why are we seeing traction? We today have well north of a thousand customers, right? Across a variety of different workloads, predominantly which are virtualized. So think server virtualization, think database virtualization, think desktop virtualization, right? And then sort of the early evolution of private cloud. And customers, the big question in customer's mind is how do I run my applications in a highly virtualized context on a storage system or a storage platform at the best economics for the business acceleration that I want. And that's why we're in the business, right? So we see, I'd say 95% of our customers are highly virtualized, right? And majority tends to be VMware. And you know, we as customers look to new vendors. Why? Because existing storage infrastructure is aging, is unable to keep up with the performance and the economics needs. And so they're looking at new vendors like us. And one of the unique things in what we do is we deliver a full complement of data management capabilities that include inline compression and dedu which makes it much more economic to deploy Flash for the highly consolidated performance hungry applications. So it's really, you're winning against the big guys, EMC and NetApp are the big incumbents. It's not so much you're competing with the startups. You probably don't even hardly run into them as much but it's really the big guys, right? Yeah, I mean, if, sure, there's a number of, I'd say upstarts because we're well past that phase of a handful of customers, we've got 1,000 plus customers. But you're birds of a feather, really. Absolutely. And we're all going after the same, it's a very big market dominated by a handful of players. And what has really happened over the last, probably five, six years of the evolution of Flash where Flash has become more economical is the ground from under them has shifted, right? And so vendors like us have now gone off with a clean sheet of paper and says, hey, what does the world need to look like from a storage perspective, right? Our storage infrastructure perspective, five years out, 10 years out, right? And it's not like the incumbents aren't smart. They have pretty sharp people. They've been in the business for a long time, but it's tough to go make a hard right turn or left turn, which is what we have done as a small company and says, hey, we're going to go there. We're going to get where the puck is headed. And what value that can we bring forth for highly enterprise, I mean, virtualized workloads for enterprises, and it's the combination of performance economics, right? You know, there are certain things that are taken for granted, you know, resiliency, DR protection, et cetera, right? And so with Flash evolving, it's actually taken that the persistence medium from where it was from a spending this point of view to an all the Flash, right? Where the economics are, you know, quite appealing for the performance acceleration you get. Well, it's interesting to know, I mean, I say we've been covering this since 2010 and David, you and I have been here even well before that, right? So, and when we first came here, we said, oh, storage is a real problem. But VMware, you know, to its credit, you know, put out APIs, but at the same time, you know, sort of put a stranglehold on the industry and innovation because it could only support so many with the integration and you know, you took a while to get the SDK and so, and of course the cartel got it first. But that has changed.  But five years ago, it was tough for you to compete here. Now it's just been open, open up the floodgates of innovation. Yeah, I mean, to credit goes to VMware in the sense that they recognize this, right? And, you know, they've been open with all of their interfaces, right? You know, it was VASA, VAI, right? VASA now with VVOLS, right? And VVOLS is going to actually spawn a great deal more innovation.  If you have a reliable storage infrastructure, what you want to be able to do is to be able to spin up virtual machines, have disaster recovery policies. I want to, you know, start a virtual machine here and I want to be DL protected there and if something would have gone, I want to be able to spin it up there, right? And then if you step back and ask the question, hey, a plethora of different applications running in virtual context, I want to establish a certain quality of service metric. VVOLS really enabled that. And so, by plugging into that VM infrastructure, right? Or the virtualized infrastructure, you know, upstarts like us or storage guys in general can go out and innovate even more, right? And so, we see that as a, as the next wave of what I call virtual machine-centric, you know, quality of service or, you know, so you're now starting to see this from a business standpoint, right? Business applications, right? And the nice thing about being in a small company is we recognize that and so we can move as fast, faster than any of the incumbents. And that's how we're winning. We're winning in the market space. So, I see the evolution of VVOLS is the next major step towards innovation in the flash layer, flash in the storage layer. There's the announcements, very interesting announcements at the flash, at the flash level, the cash level, that would have been made this time round by VMware. Which really changes that, it takes away that bottleneck that existed. And really does make it a level playing field for everybody now. Yeah, and we are, you know, just sort of talking about it a little bit on the flash side, we're seeing the economics very compelling, right? I mean, we just announced, just coming in just before VMworld, an extremely dense flash solution, right? A half a petabyte in a 3U with the full complement of data management, this think inline compression, dedupt, snapshots, clones, replications, all of that fitting into a VM environment. So, while many vendors have been talking about going to the all flash data center, we're starting to see that twist, right? We're starting to see that change. And so we believe that we're one of the few, among the upstarts, we're willing to actually take advantage of that. While we've been a hybrid company, a single platform that does both spinning this and all flash, we're giving customers the choice, right? So, let's unpack that a little bit. So you're saying, and again, you just wrote this piece of capacity, latency and capacity, but you've also written pieces on the all flash data center. That's correct. You're saying you're seeing the pendulum swinging toward the flash, obviously, because the economics are just so compelling, and they're not saying that spinning disk is going away. Some people may be saying that, but I don't think we're really projecting that, are we? We're not projecting it. I mean, there is a finite life, probably, for it, because flash is getting better so much faster. And 3D, 3D NAND and 3D TLC are really just doing amazing things with economics.  We are, but what we're also seeing is that, you talk to the majority of vendors, and you talk to even customers, they will say, well, yeah, 15K RPM is dead for high performance application workloads, which is exactly what we're seeing, right? We're seeing the bulk of the applications being leveraging flash. Now, even in a hybrid context, you have a fair bit of flash and some spinning disks, 95% of the IO is still happening in the flash layer.  It really comes down to which set of applications that require the kind of performance acceleration. So from a disk as a high performance medium or persistence medium for applications is kind of gone. Now, was this going to be around? Of course, right?  Of course. But I also see some interesting dynamic, which is there's a lot of chatter about cloud and private cloud and public cloud. I see less frequently accessed data moving into the cloud, whether that's private or public, however, which way, various different customers are in various different stages, right? In terms of their comfort with deploying things in the public cloud. But performance intensive applications will gravitate towards flash, and which is what we're seeing, right? Even among mid-range enterprise customers, right?  Today, mid-range applications and mid-range storage systems are coming a tremendous amount of flash, right? So we see that twist happening, right? And the change happening. And by that, it's going to generate even more consolidation, right? And even sort of explosion of virtual machines. How about environments, as you said, most predominant customers VMware? Are you seeing sort of moves toward other platforms, be it more aggressive adoption of Hyper-V? Clearly there's adoption of that, but OpenStack, what are you seeing there? Yeah, so we've seen OpenStack in sort of the higher end enterprise customers that are still playing around with it, right? Or service providers, maybe. Or service providers, certainly, right? On the, in an all Microsoft environment, we've seen Hyper-V, right? Hyper-V in the context of virtual, I mean, in the context of SQL, virtualized SQL, right? Perhaps with even SMB3. So one of the things that we do uniquely, we support block and file in the same system. So we support NFS and SMB3. And we have a number of customers that were deploying SQL on Hyper-V over SMB3, right? So you are getting some pockets of adoption as far as Hyper-V's concerned. But needless to say, VMware tends to be the predominant, you know, hypervised platform. Okay, and so we talked a little bit about the cloud. What are you seeing in terms of customers? I mean, so actually, let me ask it in the VMware context since we're at VMworld. What do you think about VMware? It's where it's headed, it's strategies, obviously trying to expand its TAM. So now we've got the VSAN. You've got the Elliott management distraction going on. What do you think about VMware? So I'll refrain from any of the financial speculations as far as Elliott management is concerned. Whatever you say, you won't know. Nobody seems to know that. But certainly, you know, VSAN is, again, so if you step back and ask the question of what is VSAN trying to do, it's trying to bring simplicity to the deployment of virtual infrastructures, right? That said, I'd say that VSAN still isn't its infancy. There is a reason storage companies are around. Persistence and data resilience is hard. It'll take some time for VSAN to mature. But if you look at the economics today of a VSAN cluster and compare that to any one of us, whether it's a hybrid storage system or an old flash system, you'd be hard-pressed to find VSAN cheaper than any of the purpose-built flash storage systems or hybrid storage systems, right? So while conceptually, you know, it's the right thing for VMware to do, i.e., bring simplicity. But I also see the efforts that are putting in VVOL. They're trying not to distance any of the storage vendors. Why? Because you need a path towards evolution. And I believe that storage vendors will innovate, continue to innovate faster than any of the big players by leveraging interfaces like VVOL. So I think it's overall its goodness for the enterprise space, right? Where VSAN gets deployed, perhaps in smaller environments, where people are going to feel comfortable. As I said, data resilience and data persistence is not that easy. It's hard, right? And if you look at all of the upstarts combined, the amount of engineering talent that's there, the amount of engineering investments there, far outpaces the engineering investment that's in VSAN, right? So that is not to say VSAN is bad or good, right? It'll have its own time for evolution. Well, to your point, I like the way you set that up. They're trying to simplify deployments of virtualized environments, and that's what a software company should do. If you're Microsoft, you want to drive down the cost of storage and attack sand, and deploy to ask, because it'll make our software cheaper. VMware's doing the same thing. Let's simplify it, but the question then is, as an ecosystem partner, you're comfortable with the white space that's going to be available. You feel like there's plenty of opportunity for you. Absolutely. The enterprise storage market is, give or take a few billion, it's between 18 and 20 billion dollar market, right? Yeah, at least. Yeah, and for the majority of upstarts, if you get to a few percentage points, you have done phenomenally well, right? So the point is, whether you call VMware an upstart or startup as far as VSAN is concerned, or any of the others, we're all after that big pie, right? But I think even more than that, I think it's the innovation that is brought forth into that environment. What VSAN does is ensures that VMware ecosystem is a thriving one, right? I mean, we just talked about OpenStack or Hyper-V, right? So the more simplicity, the more integrated solutions that you bring into the VMware ecosystem, you'll find most of the customers are pretty happy and not migrate away from VMware, as long as the economics are there. So I think it's all goodness in my mind, right? And as upstarts in the market space, while we understand that Hyper-V and OpenStack are there, we all have to put food on the table. So VMware is the platform, right? And it's a predominant hypervisor environment. So, go ahead, David. So I was going to ask you, one of the things that I've observed is that the way that customers are managing storage now is changing dramatically. So how in your, for your customers, are they changing the way that they're managing storage, managing the systems themselves?  Database, right? And database admin says, okay, I got to have X number of disks with so many volumes and things like that. That kind of complexity has gone away. Why? Because we're delivering aggregate performance, right? At, you know, you're talking of hundreds of thousands of IOPS at a millisecond latency, right? And we sort of simplified that process, right? We also have more storage systems now being fully managed and integrated into VMware's vCenter as an example, right? Sort of other management frameworks. So the ability to provision a VM, get a certain amount of capacity, you know, tie them on the fly and have your applications running like that is dramatically, you know, easier than what it was five, seven years ago, right? So we recognize that. And again, you know, there's a lot of chatter about hyperconverge, you know, compared to what it was last year. It all gets to one simple thing, which is how do I make the process of deployment, ongoing management, and changes in the infrastructure simple? All right, so most storage vendors are working towards, you know, integrating whatever the management framework is.  All right, Narayan, we have to wrap up. I'd like to give us the last word on, you know, what's next for Tejial, you know, from a marketing standpoint, what should we be looking for over the next, you know, near to midterm? Yeah, so, you know, we've continued to scale the business really well, as I said, a little over a thousand customers. Flash has become, you know. What's headcount now? Sorry to interrupt. As a company, we're close to 400 people. So we've grown substantially. And a size of a portion of our business now comes from all Flash, right? So we see that continuing innovation in all Flash, the densities of all Flash, I mean, Flash systems in general, increasing phenomenally, right? And, you know, we'll continue to innovate on that. We're going to jump on that bandwagon and saying, okay, how do we be ahead of any of the other incumbents in terms of delivering sustainable data management? When we talk about data management, it's about data set management. How do I protect, you know, mobilized DR, you know, et cetera? And, you know, we're going to continue to innovate there. So, you know, I'd be thrilled to be on the, you know, next time around at VMworld 2016. I'm sure, I'll be sure that, you know, our customer base would have doubled by then, so. Awesome, well, let's make an appointment to come back and do that. I think we're in Vegas next year, I'm hearing. So, all right. Well, listen, thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Always a pleasure. Thanks very much. Narayan Venkat from Tage Isle. Awesome progress, really congratulations. All right, keep it right there, buddy, we'll be back with our next guest. We're live from VMworld 2015 in Moscone. We'll be right back.


Right away and maybe with you and there's thank you. Oh, thank you Delighted to be here today Let me just look back. Somebody was asking whether we are better prepared today Than what we were in the past in 2006. I was the acting director general then for the World Health Organization I was at the g8 meeting in st. Petersburg No one knew of course who I was But president Bush took me to the Chinese president during the coffee break and told him You better tell this man the health man if you have an outbreak of a disease. This was in 2006 Are we more prepared better prepared today? The panel the previous panel came out for their one-year report called transforming or tinkering and the answering was that the world is still tinkering I Would like to say a few words about the lessons what we have learned in terms of governance in different dimensions global governance regional governance governance across Sectors and across both private and public partners Then a few words as Michelle said about the Regionalization and what that means in terms of what we still need to do at the global level and then finally a few words as again Michelle was indicating what is happening right now in terms of global processes and how can we? Collectively make sure that those are successful and more successful than in the past So if we look back at the lessons to start with again as Michelle and the previous panel was saying the world was warned and The way that we had to measure whether the world was prepared did not work If we look at the graph Countries with the highest scores did the worst had the highest numbers of deaths So the way that the world had listened to previous reports suggestions We reviewed 16 previous commissions and panels and the recommendations had been made But the world had not taken action First lesson this time we need to take action Second was and again as was indicated here before that the international alarm system the surveillance system did not work effectively enough China reported 48 hours after the when they should have reported according to the international regulation It should be done in 24 hours so 48 instead of 24 But that was not the big problem the big problem was then three weeks later when WS shows director general had the advice for the committee To come in and to advise they did not agree took another week before the director general said here We have a public health emergence of international concern 30s of January But now we have the big problem the world did not understand what that meant so the international alarm system did not work 30s of January then we lost another six weeks before he used the word pandemic on the 10th of May 10th of March Then the world reacts and at that time we had lost basically and most importantly the whole month of February So the international system is not about just alarming and empowering double-edged to do that But it's the way that the international we basically understand what that alarm system means Third we did 28 country studies looking at some of the best countries and some of the worst countries And I'm not going to go into this. This is published in international literature But this is about the governance And if we looked at some of the best performing countries bespoke about four C's and that had to do with good governance At the national level in between different ministries, but also working across private and public working with communities I would say South Korea was possibly one of the best examples of having an early aggressive containment strategy And then you had governments where we classified them as the four D's that they evaluated created distrust among people And I don't think I need to name the countries that did the worst that basically devaluated the whole The whole challenge the fourth lessons was again what has been discussed here That was about diagnostics and vaccines and the genetic sequence was chaired and on the 10th of January rep It's never been done so quickly before it was published and in the international journey Well, and we have not have a vaccine being developed so quickly, but not just one but a number of vaccines So that was a big success so a lot of lessons But the big failure was of course the access to the vaccines and not just from an equity perspective But from an effective public health perspective did we use the vaccines and diagnostic in the most effective way to stop The pandemic as quickly as possible the simple answer is no next time We need to do better not just get the vaccines the volumes But using them in a more effective way to be able to stop the pandemic quicker So those are some of the lessons Second dimension to this is also what has happened here is that we have a much stronger regal regionalization I would say politically generally, but also of health When I was the head of the double age of country office during the able outbreak in Sierra Leone The African CDC did not exist when I left in 2017 today. It's a power The African Union what we have seen happening here during just the last years is a totally different situation As Michelle said from the European side the European Commission presented now a new strategy for global health I was there in Brussels and when Sweden takes on the presidency for the European Union or the European Council next year We will also ensure that there is political support For a new strategy a new direction for global health But with stronger regions and it's not just in African Europe is also here in the Middle East is in Asia What does it mean in terms of global actions global responsibilities because that agenda needs to change? I Don't think we need a global platform for vaccines in the future Well, we need stronger regional platforms, but we still need global cooperation sharing information data But also ways of working the management to flow of then access to products So we need to rethink the global functions based on that we have stronger regions today Are we ready? No, we are not ready as I said and Michelle You were saying that there are two major sort of processes happening now One sets of processes in Geneva a new treaty and in New York a potential then political agreement Both of those are extremely difficult and cumbersome. It's going too slow The political environment right now is not the best We need all support from you from people across the world from both private and public saying that we need Certain political decisions. We need certain rules We need to empower WHO to share information quickly We need ways of engaging across private and public to be able to have access to resources and tools more rapidly in the future so we need both the rules that are basically negotiated in Geneva and We need also the political commitment that is our hope that we will have from this meeting in New York Two critical things to this those agendas one is about this platform to access the what we call the medical countermeasures The vaccines the diagnostics, etc. And then the financing of that and the second one is then the suggestion from the panel of Also establishing some sort of platform with senior leaders From both potentially both private and public to be able to be the sounding board to problem Solve if something like this is happening So we don't have the very bad situation where we had at the beginning of the pandemic when the US and China couldn't agree on anything Basically, so the need for a platform where we can work across regions and sectors Let me finish just by just to say that this pandemic is Still not just about the virus. It's not only about getting the vaccines this pandemic as again Michelle was saying initially has been about economies. It's been people losing their jobs It's been about children not having access to school and we have not seen the impact of this jet So for the future we need to think about that we have Countries systems commitments at all levels national regional globally That is not only focusing making sure we get the vaccines But that we have national system international system that can also deal with those broader challenges Because that is what we've seen and I can't help saying then something at the end that might be a bit surprising because somebody was mentioning nutrition one of the critical factors whether you were successful or whether you had a Number of you lost a number of lives was actually the rate of obesities If you look at the US the most important factor whether you were at high risk was obesity So if you speak now about climate and what we need to do in terms of changing our food system It's about climate which is also about health and the biggest epidemic we have in the world today such to obesity And that is all in some way should trigger thinking that this is more than just a virus. Thank you Thank you excellent, so let's thank you Anders for setting the scene


Last 24 hours been like for you. It's been amazing to hear my name get picked and also to spend time joining and celebrating my family. So it's been amazing. Where are you right now? You driving through New Orleans? Yes, sir. I'm actually going to pick up some tight injuries. We got one more party today. I'm going to pick up some tight injuries. I got to rip my team. What was the celebration like last night and how much did you get last night? It was, it was great. It was great just seeing everybody around, you know, from start to finish with smaller faces. Everybody had pure energy. They came up to the sport, no matter what the turn I was going to be. And I got about a good four or five hours. I was so excited. I couldn't really sleep that much. One of your, one of your strengths is, I guess, I wonder if that is something you take particular pride in kind of getting some extra yardage after hits.  So you got to be able to break time. So that's why I separate myself and always willing to, I'm still willing to elevate even more. Who's some of your favorite running backs or anybody that you maybe particularly modeled your game after? Starting off modeling after Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush is my favorite for a while. I just been like, I've been, I like Albert Cameron, guys like Aaron Jones, too, like that. It's going to be great to learn from there. Yeah, me too.  Do you ever look at guys like maybe Frank Gore, Willis McGee, see how they were able to, you know, overcome that and have long careers. I actually reached out to Frank Gore. I'm an excellent for supporters as tips on how to stay healthy. I do a good job of it because I take pride in everything that I do, but I do make this wise and also just off the field, I mean off the field stuff that's going to keep me on the field. And knowing that history, you know, you're able to carry the ball with 229 230 times last year. What was the key and being able to make it through that and be so productive. Um, I know, I knew my significance on the team. I knew my role in the team. So I had to do it. It starts with a mindset first. I'm just understanding, you know, like I said, understanding my significance on the team. But just like being a date, they in there. It's just a, I work on, I work on, I work hard with myself positions like as far as like the maintenance aspect of the need, do you find yourself having to do extra things to be able to continue playing on. Um, you got to understand that whenever you get surgery or something, we got you got to have to work that area out anyway, but it's not like none, none, none out of ordinary from a regular person from a regular player. You know, it's, you know, y'all know football is, it's a very physical game. So I ain't doing it out the way like doing the same thing these other guys do work to take care of. What's the link for a for a run back to get drafted by team with Derek Henry. It's amazing. It's like, that's my key word ain't going to be amazing man. He's a great guy. I guess he's a great guy. He's a great player, but I'm trying to fulfill my opportunity. I got it. You're going to talk to him about getting that getting that number 22. Hey, I was playing with somebody over there. I was like, man, maybe he let me get like not any hopefully go hopefully he want to go back to like he was at Belmont. What do you think about him as a back and kind of been a one to punch with them. They don't call him came here for no reason. They don't call him came here for no reason but you got to be you got to be a special type of player to keep on running for running for for 2000 yards. I think he did that on every level that he played in so you got to be a special type of player because it take a lot to get to 1000. Another thousand on top of that. You got it. So what kind of past catcher are you can you talk us through your game as a target. See, anyway, anyway, I can put myself in position to make plays when it is coming out the backfield in the backfield. I'm very versatile and I got some I got some great hands to how much how much face time did you get with the Titans in the pre draft process and just kind of having those meetings go who did you meet and all that. I interact with him at the same boat. You know, Charles London. Charles, he was OC of my American team my team at the same ball so had a great impression on him.   I just did a 30 visit with him last week. So, you know, I had I had a good amount of interaction, every, every, every time I interact with him. I think there's a stat that you scored a touchdown last year I think maybe like every 14 carries that you kind of a nose for the end zone as I say. Yeah, you got to get in. You got to get in. You got to find a way to separate yourself but I didn't know that. I gotta see if I can cut that number down a little bit. What's kind of your motivation and have you kind of been able to work through adversity with the Andrews just to keep on plugging and get to where you are today. I'm not trying to go back to where I come from, but everybody gonna face adversity. No matter what you know what you go through, what you're going to face is just how you're going to respond to always trying to respond the best way I know how just keep working. It might rain a day but so it comes sooner or later. Hey, you talk about where you came from did you have some tough times going up to that you had to fight to to get to where you are. I had to fight, I had to fight to a lot of adversity. A lot of checks and all that so it was a long time coming to me that's why I say I'd be so appreciative I'm so I'm so blessed to be in this position.  I was. I was.


The study aimed to measure the psychometric properties of the 10-item drug abuse screening test, DST-10, in Iranian individuals using Kranbaka's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis, CFA, and exploratory factor analysis, EFA. The results showed that the Persian version of DST-10 had desirable reliability and validity, making it a suitable screening instrument for drug abuse among Iranian adults.
