The cooking program that has started here at the Multicultural Council began in July of 2011. It runs on a weekly basis and we conduct it between the hours of 9.30 and 1.30. They start straight away generally with very little discussion. They have organised the recipe for the week before so they know exactly what they're doing and how long it's going to take.  And it's done over the charcoal barbecue. It's done over the charcoal barbecue. It's done over the charcoal barbecue. It's done over the charcoal barbecue. I think the cooking program and other activities that are offered outside the detention centre is an important thing for people's health and well-being. If people are able to, even if it is for a couple of hours each week for a four-week block, come into a setting like ours, have the opportunity to prepare and cook their own traditional food. It provides them with that sense of ownership, that sense of control and that happiness that they're able to share the food with each other but also with other people from outside in the community such as the staff here, such as the volunteers, such as the community that come in and support the program. Food is a really important way of bringing people together and I've noticed that with the activities that I run here at the Modicultural Council, if there's any mention of food being in the activity, you get a full house. You get everybody coming and so it does draw people together and whether you have all different languages, three or four different languages in the room, despite that difference in language, we somehow still are able to communicate around food so it really does bring everybody together.


My final clip was one I picked because A, there's a direct call out of Donald Trump, which harkens back to the beginning of our discussion and B, there's discussion of the national debt, which I've come to view as an increasingly concerning topic and it was at least brought up a few times here. Where's Joe Biden? He's completely missing in action from leadership. And you know who else is missing in action? Donald Trump is missing in action. He should be on this stage tonight. He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt. That set the stage for the inflation that we have. We don't get any answers because Joe Biden hides in his basement and won't answer as to why he's raising the debt the way he's done.  He put $7 trillion on the debt. He should be in this room to answer those questions. And I wanna look at that camera right now and tell you, Donald, I know you're watching. You can't help yourself. I know you're watching, okay? And you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because of your indictments. You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. You're ducking these things. And let me tell you what's gonna happen. You keep doing that.   He's so proud, he's so satisfied. Yeah, let's just look at that for a second. The self-satisfaction, it's off the charts. That line is so lame and groan-inducing and it has been in every debate clip roundup I have seen after the debate. It has achieved exactly what he intended for it to achieve. And I think he knew that it was a total groaner and he also knew that it would be at the top of the hour in the montage on CNN every hour and it has been. I give Chris Christen credit for pure entertainment value. He's 10 out of 10 on both of these debates. That also brought this moment which you pointed, you were tweeting about this morning, Josh, that New York Times fact check was prompted by this Christie statement that Joe Biden hides in his basement. This is false. Any comments on the New York Times fact check?  Or did this lack important context and things that are ultimately judgment calls? And I think in fairness to the New York Times, they're not so much correcting the literal statement. They're not being like he's not in his basement. What they're saying is, well, they're saying Joe Biden doesn't go out and do stuff but he does go out and do stuff and he traveled to all these countries. When you say Joe Biden is hiding in his basement, you mean he's not out in public as much as he should be and you mean that the White House is trying to control his public appearances in a way to minimize spontaneity and minimize the number of questions he's gonna face because they're afraid of what'll happen if he goes off script. And those are ultimately, those are not factual claims. Those are opinion, an opinion of how much, how many interviews the president should give, how many events outside the White House he should do. There's no right or there's no fact about that. And so ultimately what this, from the New York Times is basically, ultimately defending the idea that the Biden is out there enough, which I think partly is a weird thing to do as a media outlet when one of the key aspects of Biden's strategy has been that he does very few interviews, many fewer interviews than presidents before him have typically done. But it's not even so much about whether the Times's analysis on that is right or wrong. It's that they shouldn't be doing that analysis at all.  And that's obviously what Chris Christie was arguing about there. Yeah, I mean, the fact checking industry or complex seems to have taken a pretty big hit in credibility over the past several years.  Well, it's not clear to me what the usefulness of it is to begin with. I mean, I think it's, people have been driven nuts over the last eight years by people thinking things that are wrong. And some of that is like cancel culture and trying to restrict opinions, but some of it is literally about things that are wrong. That there's been a lot of prominent conspiracy theorizing and a lot of nonsense claims about Donald Trump really won the election and that sort of thing, things that are actually incorrect. And it drives a lot of, especially liberals crazy and it drives a lot of reporters crazy. And they're not entirely wrong about it, but just sort of grabbing people by the shoulders and being like, I'm going to give you the real facts now is not a strategy that's working in part because the sort of people who are bothering to read the New York Times live stream about the debate are not even the audience that they really need to reach if they're trying to disabuse people of false factual notions. So I would, if I had a fact check arm at my news outlet, I would just shut it down. If you know, the most of what appears in fact checks is stuff that can just appear in a news story format. And sometimes even when you have a fact check that's really not about facts, it's an analysis about what the context for this ought to have been. You could repackage that as an article and often it would be an informative, interesting article and you just lose the distracting frame where you're claiming to be setting straight some fact. Thanks for watching our conversation with Josh Barrow. You can watch the full conversation here or another clip right here.


were to have the effect that you wanted to have it would have created a new smaller donut hole consisting of your piece of property. I believe that correct Jacob? Yeah. So the other thing I wanted to mention is that I know that our staff can talk to you about the container issue which you should not have to plug 600 feet down. We have a program that does that and there's not any problem with that. I would appreciate it. I don't know how the 50% whether I got allocated to this property tax bill or not we can have staff look into that but other than that I hope you will understand although it will be of no comfort to you that the city is a creature and a creation of the state. And the state government has passed a law that the governor signed that I don't know did the governor have to sign this one's a local bill. No he signed it. We did okay. How nice of him. That once that happens we can't there's not I don't know that there's anything we can do about that and so that's me telling you I don't know that we can give you the relief you're asking for today. And I probably came in here with that understanding. It's just sad. It's just sad. Yeah I'm being faced with a lot of important serious decisions. I wasn't prepared to make right now. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Garmin. Well we need to take some action on this item public hearing is closed. Move the consistency statement. Second. Second all in favor of the motion. Those opposed the motion passes unanimously. Second. All in favor of the motion indicate by saying aye. Those opposed the motion passes unanimously. Are there any other items to come before the council before we adjourn at 9.45 p.m. If not council is adjourned at 9.45 p.m. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Thank you. Yeah I'll make it up to you.

Yes, all right 2017 let me take you back to 2017 what Made you want to get into this line of business? So I've always loved baking since I was young. My mom was a baker My mom loved cooking so much. So I was always in the kitchen with her and I think the passion grew But with time, you know when we're in school, you're told about All these other careers high-loating engineering and doctor. I wanted to be a doctor Yes, and so After high school, I I just thought you I just can't stay home And as I wait to go to uni, which I didn't make it to uni specifically after high school so in 2017 when I lost my parents I Both of them. Yes. My mom I lost my mom in June and my dad in August So it was a span of a month So now she came for one barrel and then went back for another bar. Yes shortly after. Yes. All right so after that I I Took a time for myself and just thought I I cannot remain there. I need to do something. I need to You're in Nairobi in 2017. Yes. All right. I'm guessing your parents were providing for you back then Yeah, how did you like survive after? Um My brother my brother was always there for me and my sister. So we're only three and the last one So of course I got the privilege of being provided for a while before now.

Being a home baker and having your business online My friends my friends have supported me so much so so much and my family So I do face-to-face marketing and Facebook because I have quite so many friends on Facebook quite a number of friends on Facebook All right, and then recommendations from from the people you pick for as well. Yeah All right, so how do you determine the the pricing of the cake? Do you determine it from the profile picture of the client or? Or what is the process of determining the price of a particular cake first of all you have to look for ingredients you cannot You cannot price one flavored cake like a vanilla cake With that you're a misu cake because one takes more ingredients than the other So you have to determine the process of making the process of making the cake so the ingredients number one Yeah, that is a determinant of the price. Yeah, the process The design because different cakes have different design you have to include your labor the time that you've used and ingredients time labor Equipment electricity water Water all that has to be included to get a specific price for Specific yes. All right. What is the most popular cake among its cannons? I think it's a black forest black forest is the most famous cake among its cannons Yes All right Have you come to a conclusion why Kenyans who could be loving this cake so much? Because of the soft texture of it the spongy texture. No one loves a Compact cake bulky. So yeah, it's not that feeling and you can take it in large amounts So can go on and on and on All right, so what is the difference between a good cake and just an okay cake What what what is because sometimes you might taste a cake and you're not a baker But you can tell this is not as good as that one. What is the difference? I think for most of especially supermarket cakes or cakes that are sold in some cake shops In town or somewhere else not freshly baked. Yeah They're not freshly baked and they use preservatives. That's why it has that funny taste Because being a home baker I I bake with orders so I Get an order and I freshly bake it a few hours or a day before They deliver it. So it has that just fine fine taste but for For those cakes that you feel Yeah, there's something about it. Yeah, mostly I preach services The preservatives have a lot to contribute to us the way it tastes.

You've had a lot of adjustments this season. You had to adjust to a new city, a new team. You had to adjust to being the number two guy, then you had to adjust to being the number one guy again. What have you learned throughout that experience? Just patience, stay the course. Yeah, it was challenging at times. It was tough. Honestly, like I said, I love competing. I love playing football. So, you know, sitting on the sideline was hard for me and it was adjustment, just changing roles from what I'd been used to in the past. Just try to stay the course, stay positive, just keep working and be ready. So sometimes life will take you down a different path and then what you want it to be, you know, God does everything for a reason and as long as you, you know, stay faithful and stay the course that I have faith that it'll work out. Why did you know that the Tennessee Titans were a good fit for you? Just kind of the way it worked out, you know, a team that I have a lot of respect for, you know, in the past, playing against them, you know, we played some tight games against the Titans in the past down in Miami and, you know, I came in, got to know the guys and it immediately, you know, felt like it was a great spot. Did having that familiarity with the Titans, having seen them so many times, kind of help with the transition? I don't know, you know, I didn't know too many guys on the team previously, so the transition was what it was.  So that definitely made it easier. You've been able to watch this team grow throughout the course of this season and especially the offense grow over the course of this season. What has surprised you the most about the evolution of this Titans team? I don't know if I've been surprised, but I've been, you know, proud of the way the guys just keep fighting. Like I said, you know, we've had our ups and downs throughout the season, but our guys just come to work every day and just keep fighting, keep working and finding a way to win. And at the end of the day, that's what it's about. You seem to be a very calm guy, especially in the face of adversity. I've seen you on the sidelines and nothing really seems to rattle you too much. You don't get too high or too low. Always encouraging the guys around you. Where does that come from? I don't know. I've been on football a long time and know they're long games and you can't really get too wound up in one player, one drive, one situation. You've got to learn from it, correct it and then move on. You know, there's a lot of football left to play no matter what situation is left in the game. And just try to keep the guys encouraged and headed in the right direction that we're going to find a way to win. So yeah, I try not to get too excited.  But then once it's over, then just get back to baseline and get ready to go for the next drive. We're starting to get ready for late November, December football. What about that time of year is so exciting for you as a competitor? Well, it's huge. The end of the season is what it comes down to each and every year in the NFL. Finding a way to get into the dance, get into the playoffs and win games late in the year. If you can do that, then you'll be playing in January.  I think I've had a long path to get here. And I'm proud of the guys in the locker room. And I think that's the most important thing right now is proud of the way the guys compete, the way the guys believe in each other and just that trust that we have. You know, I think they put very good to great jobs that we're doing every day. And that's really important. Is Mike Vrable's style something that you had to adjust to? Well, I think, yeah, he definitely was a different, different style than any head coach I've been around. But I love it.  I've grown to like the way he runs things and the way he holds guys accountable and had some long team meetings were really honest and puts the film up and everyone has to be accountable. And when you're able to be accountable in front of your peers, then there's that belief, like I said, that you're just going to keep coming together and gelling as a team. You guys believe in this team no matter what? Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, is there any other choice to go out? I mean, I feel like you'd be wasting your time if you didn't believe in the guys around you. And these games that we went in the fourth quarter just keep giving more and more confidence that no matter what happens, we'll find a way to win.


Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, or welcome if you're new. If you are new here, my name is Sam, and oh hi, and this is Benny.  This video's not appropriate for little boys. A few months ago, I posted a video telling you how I was planning on getting off of the birth control pill, and that I wanted to share my experience, document my symptoms. So here I am with my first update. I really wanted to allow a good amount of time to go by so that I could really see what was going on. I've always been told by my doctor, and based on research I've done online that it typically takes a trimester or three months in order for you to see changes in your body when it has to do with hormones and your cycle and stuff like that. So it felt kind of pointless posting an update right away. I will post a link to that original video in the description because in that video I shared why I wanted to get off the pill, my experiences in the past when I attempted to get off of it previously and why it took me so long and why I was so scared to finally attempt to get off of it again. So I do recommend watching that video first if you haven't already seen it, but let's just recap either way. So I first got on the birth control pill and I was 17 and prior to getting on it, I never had any issues with my menstrual cycle at all whatsoever. I had normal periods, they came on time. I didn't have significant cramping or super heavy periods or anything like that. I strictly got on the pill for birth control purposes. After being on it for about five years, I just didn't like the way it was making me feel. So I just stopped the pill cold turkey and at first things seemed okay, but after a couple of months, I got a lot of really bad symptoms. My skin was breaking out like crazy. I had a lot of bad cystic acne around my jaw and chin area. My weight was just uncontrollable despite exercising regularly and watching what I was eating. I was just gaining weight very rapidly. I felt very depressed and I completely stopped getting my period. So naturally I freaked out, went to my gynecologist and that's when she diagnosed me with PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome and she suggested the best thing to do is just get back on the pill and me being young, I think I was 22 at the time, scared, felt like I had no control over my body anymore. I just got diagnosed with this thing I've never heard of before. So of course, I took my doctor's suggestion, got back on the pill even though I didn't really want to and continued living my life for several years, thinking that I had PCOS and not really wanting to be on the pill anymore but being terrified to get off of it because I didn't know how my body was gonna react if I stopped it. But I started to do a lot of research online, found some great resources and I just finally got to the point where I had had enough and I just wanted to try to repair my hormones naturally and just kinda see what happens. And in that first video, I was questioning if I even actually have PCOS. We'll talk a little bit more about that in a minute. So I'm 29 now. I stopped taking the birth control pill at the beginning of August. So I have now officially been off of it for a little over five months after being on the pill for 12 years. I did take notes throughout this whole process. I highly recommend if you're planning on getting off of the pill as well or even just changing your birth control in general, take some notes, keep track of any symptoms you have and how you're feeling. It's been really helpful for me to go back and kinda see where I've been at, when things changed, et cetera. So yeah, it was right at the very beginning of August. I decided to just finish my last pack of birth control pills and then once it was time for me to start a new pack, I just didn't. So the symptoms that I had prior to stopping the pill, this is what I wrote down back in August. I always felt slightly bloated regardless of how much or how little I ate, how much I exercised, et cetera. My stomach never felt flat. I always felt like it was kind of like pushing out and protruding a little bit. I always felt tired and had a really hard time waking up in the morning. Again, that was regardless of how much I slept, how little I slept, whether I was exercising, et cetera. I always felt very low energy again, regardless of my routine, my lifestyle. And I always just felt like I was kind of in a slight fog. I always had like a little bit of brain fog, just like kind of slightly out of it. I don't really know how to describe it, but if you have been there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. My body really held onto fat in my hormonal areas, which is the upper arms and lower stomach. And again, no matter how I changed my diet, no matter how much I worked out, what kind of workouts I did, nothing really made a big difference. Like I could be in really great shape and look great and be super toned everywhere else, but those parts of my body just held onto this stubborn fat for dear life. Like it was not going anywhere. I did have pretty clear skin though while I was on the pill. So now let's talk about what have my symptoms been, how have I felt, what happened throughout these last few months? Honestly, there's nothing to report. And I think that's part of the reason too, why it took me this long to finally post an update because there was just nothing significant to share. I really was scared that I was gonna have these bad symptoms. My body was gonna like totally go out of whack. Like it did the first time I tried getting off the pill back in college, but this time around, it's been a completely different experience. As soon as I stopped taking that pill, I started to feel better. And in the beginning, I thought that maybe it was just a placebo effect. I was like, it's probably way too soon for me to really feel a difference. Everything was so good that I was like almost waiting for something to change and like negatively something bad to happen. And it hasn't. And at this point, I'm almost at the six month mark. So I think it's safe to say knock on wood that I'm in the clear and things are gonna stay good. So I talked about how before I always felt bloated that is not the case anymore. My stomach is actually flat now and I actually feel good and comfortable. My energy levels have improved significantly and I don't feel super tired all the time, which is crazy. I've felt that way for so many years that it just became the norm to me. And I just thought like, well, maybe this is just how I am. And my skin has stayed really clear. And if anything, I feel like it just looks better and better. And my skincare routine has not changed. I've always been very consistent with that, but I just feel like I have this natural glow to my skin now. The first few months after getting off the pill, I was getting a couple of breakouts here and there, but they only were happening right around the time when I would get my period. And I would only get maybe one or two. And they were just normal, regular, like whitehead pimples. They weren't those deep cystic painful ones. And they would go away pretty quickly. There was one month, I want to say it was maybe in like October or November, where I got a lot of them kind of all at once. Again, none of them were cystic, which is great, but my skin wasn't looking its best during that time. I feel like that was the period where my skin was kind of like purging. And also now that I think about it, that was probably about three months after stopping the pill, which like I said at the beginning, they say it takes three months usually for things to change hormonally. So that would make sense. But ever since then, totally clear. And now when I get my period, I don't even get a single pimple. Like things have been really good. I also do feel like those first few periods, I noticed that I was experiencing PMS for the first time where I would just kind of feel like agitated and a little bit like moody and pissed off. And it would just be like, you know, the day or two before I would get my period. And I don't know if I've ever experienced that before. Like prior to getting on the pill, I don't really remember. I don't think so. So that was something that was a little bit different, but it wasn't like so bad that it was affecting my life in any kind of way. It was just something that I was like, oh, hmm, interesting. But I want to say like the last two months, maybe I have not experienced that anymore. Let's talk about periods. My period has been completely normal. I have gotten it on time every single month, at the same time every month consistently. And it's crazy because I really didn't know what to expect with that. So I got my fake period on August 4th, which if you didn't know, when you're on the birth control pill, you don't have a real period. Like yes, you may still bleed every month, but that's not technically a period because you're not ovulating. It's just like hormone induced shedding.  And then after that, I should have started a new pack of birth control pills. I didn't. So I had my first full month hormone, fake hormone free. And then September 3rd, so like exactly one month later, I got my first real period. And then October 4th, I got my second period. And then beginning of November, I got my next one. And then I had stopped updating at that point. There was just nothing really to update, but it's been consistent. So I get my period every month, right at the beginning of the month. And I haven't had any like crazy excessive cramping or anything like that. I do get some cramps the very first day, but it's not bad enough that I have to take medicine or even use a heating pad or anything like that.  Like it's a little uncomfortable. But then usually after that first day, I don't have cramps at all. And I noticed that my periods now are pretty much exactly what they used to be like when I was a teenager, before I ever got on the pill. Only usually like three, maybe four days long. They're pretty short. And it's only really like normal flow, I guess, like the first day or two. And then by the third day, it's like barely there and pretty much completely gone by the fourth day. That's how they used to be before getting on the pill. And that's exactly how they've been now. So I'm like, oh wow, it's nice to see my real normal cycle again. So what's changed? Like why has my experience at this time been so completely polar opposite from my experience? The last time I got off the pill. So I haven't really changed much in my routine. I'm not doing anything super strict. Yes, I watch what I eat and I do try to stay as active as possible, but nothing crazy and nothing like super, super strict. But what I have been doing and I know with 100% full confidence that this is what has made all the difference for me and why things have been so good, I've been taking these a lot of new balance supplements every single day. And I started these like a few weeks before I even had stopped the pill and they are amazing. I cannot rave enough about these and I'm not sponsored at all. I wish that I was. Oh my God, I really wish because I love this. So these are pills that you take every day. They are a little bit large. You have to take four of these every day with a meal. It does come in a powder form if you're not a good pill taker, but these are strategically designed to support hormonal balance, weight management, complexion and fertility. Enjoy restorative sleep, improved energy levels and more. And everything that I just talked about is that not like exactly what I just described. They've helped my body and my hormones balance naturally and adjust post birth control so that it can function normally and do what it's supposed to do and so that I wouldn't have these crazy symptoms and things wouldn't be super out of whack. So I cannot recommend these enough. A few people also had recommended another thing to me. I wanna say it was like this at all or something like that maybe. But the main ingredient that's in that is also in these. So I'm pretty sure it's all the same thing. So I'm probably going to continue taking these for another few months. And then maybe once I get closer to like the one year mark of being off the pill, I will gradually like wean myself off of those and just see how I feel. Oh, and I wanted to talk about the whole PCOS thing because I mentioned how I got diagnosed with that last time I got off the pill and I started questioning if I actually even had it because so many women are diagnosed with this. All of a sudden, you know, 10 years ago, nobody like when I first got diagnosed, I'd never heard of polycystic ovarian syndrome and now it seems like every woman that I meet has it. And what I've learned is it's not like there's one specific test that they can do and they can definitively say yes, you have it or no, you don't. There's just like certain criteria that you have to meet and it's all very symptom based but the thing is the symptoms that they use to diagnose people with PCOS could be symptoms from something else too. And obviously I'm no medical expert, do your own research but I just really feel like a lot of doctors are quick to diagnose women with this without really like digging deeper into it. And I think that in my case, I was diagnosed with it because of those negative symptoms I was experiencing and mainly because I wasn't getting my period anymore but I think the symptoms I was experiencing and the fact I wasn't getting my period was just because my hormones were thrown so out of whack from being on the pill for so many years and then all of a sudden stopping it without taking any kind of supplements or doing anything to help my hormones balance themselves out. So it's interesting now that I feel totally fine, I'm symptom free, I have normal periods again, I had normal periods before getting on the pill, I really truly believe that I do not have PCOS because at this point, there's no way I could be diagnosed with it. I don't fit any of the criteria for it anymore. And they say that when you have it, you have it forever, it's not something that can go away, you can manage it but you can't get rid of it. And who knows, maybe I do actually have it and these supplements are just helping me manage it and that's why I'm not experiencing the symptoms of it, I don't know. I do have my next yearly exam with my gynecologist this coming June, so I'm really interested to talk with her and maybe see if she can order some blood work for me because I am really curious to get all of my levels checked and see how everything is and get her medical opinion and see if she actually still thinks that I have PCOS or not. But I think that is everything as far as my updates go, I will definitely update you guys again in a few more months after I go to the doctor and get the results of my blood work. So stay tuned for that. Make sure that you're subscribed so you don't miss that video. Thank you so much for watching, thank you for being here. Hopefully I will see you in my next video, bye.


social contract of Hobbes. In this session we are going to discuss the topic of social contract of Hobbes and definitely with reference to the other perspectives. So in political philosophy a social contract is an actual or hypothetical compact or agreement between the ruled or between the ruled and their rulers. Defining each party's rights and responsibilities. Basically, first of all, if we understand how to see or understand the social contract, then we can say that it is an agreement between the people and then it can be between the people and their ruler. There can be two dimensions, So individuals were born into an anarchic state of nature in given the philosophy given by various philosophers as well as definitely by Hobbes and they can be happy with their circumstances or might be unhappy with the situation and that is depending on the version of the theory. So then they can build a society and a government by the use of natural reasons and a social compact. So we can say that social contract theory, it is as old as philosophy itself and it's a way that persons' moral and or political obligations are dependent upon a contract on or agreement among them to form the society in which they live. Basically social contract, as well as the government itself. So Hobbes' political philosophy can be broken into two parts, number one, psychological egoism, his theory of human drive and his notion of social compact. Hobbes' philosophy has a lot of social compact importance because in his book Leviton, the basic debate is in the context of how human life is, what is the nature of human nature, what is the relationship between them, morality and politics because each person has their own interests. And when everyone will fight for their own personal interests and will be involved in it, what will happen to them? That in the human environment, every time there will be a chaos and tension. So if we have to settle all this down, then what is important for that is definitely a contract that is much more needed. And what is the need for this is that if we have to convert the society, then it will be necessary that we spend our lives with a community where their limits are limited. Their limitations are clearly mentioned, their responsibilities are mentioned, so they can spend their lives together. So it is a mutual social contract where the subject standard their rights and powers to one sovereign monarch who is in return was bound to protect its messes from any external danger along with internal chaos. So in other words, we can say that his social order, social contract was of each all and all villages. The philosophy of Khov's is that the Mohdah, the Mohdah-e-Imrani, as it is said, is that for each one of them, their limitations, their boundaries have to be determined. And what will be the basic point is that the ruler will protect his people's rights. And the responsibility of the people will be to follow the rules given by the rulers when they have surrendered to their rulers so that a NOSMOSUP can be established within the society and can be avoided by any kind of chaos.


Okay, so it's 10-20, we get the EIA inventory numbers at 10-30 of course, so we got crude trade in 55-58, so API number last night, there's your last night action, we were trading at about 56-50 coming into that number, it showed an increase of 7.9 I think million barrels, so with that in mind of course, oil trading lower, we're down about a buck from that level, 55-58, jumping around to some of the spread contracts, if we're looking for a volatility trade, the ones that expire at 11 a.m., just pull them up, so we'd have $56 we could use, or you could use 55-25, all right, we're still 55-58, so we're about 30 cents, 35 cents, give or take away from that, I'm just gonna jump around to see if, you know ideally, closest one's gonna be 55-50, right, that might line up, if oil may have been in that context, the noons are gonna have the same exact price spread, okay, and the 2.30s are gonna have even a bigger, because the dailies, they open up 56 would be our option, so let's just line it up for the 11s, and 55-25, now what's gonna happen here is that, you're really gonna have a pretty dramatic bullish bias, because this is gonna demonstrate it right here, you're getting into 55-56, the bullish leg of this trade is gonna be $41 representing 41 cents that you're paying above the floor, and let's just demonstrate how cheap the bearish one, if you do just still want exposure to the bearish side, this one going from 55-25 down, and you're getting in at about 8, right, so in theory it's a bullish spread with almost exposure on the downside, if you happen to get a dramatic move in that direction as well, and you could always take both sides of the straight, I bring it up occasionally, maybe you're just bullish, and you want to find risk, not a bad opportunity, market's trading at 55-60, you're paying five pennies to get in at 55-65, and you're risking four to make ten, you know, you're getting two to one, two and a half to one on your money, for 30 minutes, right, yeah, for 30 minutes, and perfect, let's see how, so we'll leave those up even, and we'll jump to the new ones, because we do like going the new ones, and let's just pull up that bullish one 55-25, here's your noon, so it's such a small, small, so now the market's moving, we're trading out 55-54, so you're paying about 12, 11-12, 13 pennies, give or take, but again, yeah, I mean you're almost getting three to one, you're getting 2.75 to one, no if you were bullish that's a good trade, it is, that's, I would agree, you talk about defined risk, I would agree, pretty intense actually, yeah, so we'll see what that number shakes out, 10-23, API big surprise last night with the build, and so crude right now is down one and a half percent, yeah, and okay, so let's see, let's see what we got here, you got, you know, you can see that last high was last Thursday, I got to what, 57-88, try to test that yesterday with 530,000 contracts versus 684, so, I mean it looks like this thing wants to try to trade down to 55-08, you know, that's the last time, it's a consolidation, you know, I mean we're in so many consolidations folks in this market, it's like, you know, wow, you can take these different structures, and in this particular case you're gonna see that, you know, November 13th is the timeframe there, yeah, and that bar is vicious, man, well I got it, I forgot that this happened, we, you know what, we were probably not in this contract, but on November 13th, folks, that was a $4.50 move in the oil market, yeah, $60.11 cents to 55-58, that is one monster move, man, welcome back folks, so crude plus seven million barrels, that's a big number, so even Bloomberg users looking for a build of about 1.3, that had been the estimate, API did show a number even above seven last night, that's a big build, how far you think it's gonna drop, ready, here we go, oh look at that, it pops, that has to be frustrating if you are sure, you get a seven million barrel builds and crude pops 25-30 cents on the first pop, and we'll see, you know, you'd have till 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, that's the beauty of defined risk if you are wrong in one of those, yeah, the bullish trade would have been a nice trade when you're only paying, you know, whether it's 11-12 pennies right over market, so you'd be profitable still with your risk cap at that 55-25 price limit, and let's just jump back even one more time, so there's your number, okay, seven million barrel build, median estimate, yeah, was 1.4, we saw Bloomberg survey was even about 1.3, gasoline quite a miss to the downside, a draw of 4.2 versus an estimate decline of 1.6, that's impressive, particularly because, you know, when you're talking about the United States, a lot of people have bad weather, snow, you've been driving less, well that's showing that we're still using a lot of gasoline, yeah, so quite a number, man, in terms of across the board headline number on crude, and just to see if it's holding it, it's holding it, we're at that high, so 55-82, that'll be interesting to see what that holds after, you don't often see such a quick spike in the opposite direction, you might see a move in the opposite direction when it plays out, when they dig a little deeper into those numbers, because there's a lot contained in there, but usually this dictates the first reaction in the first 15-30 seconds, and that does not make sense, but hey, there's a lot going on in that market, and I think a lot of people might have been saying, API was a big number last night, you know what, that was the estimate number, but that has changed, the only thing that gave me pause on that was that the Bloomberg user survey came in so close to it, because that's something that they allow input on up to, I believe, about 10 minutes before the report, so somehow the market was looking for it, but not the traders, because we know, man, up, and we're back to 55-72, okay, we'll check back in, we'll see what, go ahead. You know, in the S&P, as we're doing that, the S&P is saying that, guess what, the bottom line is that this oil number is not looking to hold, so we'll see, you know, you broke down underneath that 2780 with 2777, and, you know, bottom line, there's not much here to stop it, you know, the battle now, battle line now will be that, you know, like 2772 to 2767. Five to 10 points below where we're at, and when you pull this up, it's ticking fast, like one to two points, which is a big, that's, it's trying to find its supply and demand. Let's check back oil, I'm curious, uh-oh, uh-oh, we're back to almost where we were, 55-65. I think they're waking up to that, that is a big number. That's a big number. And we'll see. I can't believe we went that fast. That was a quick hour, lots going on. Great, we're having a good time. Stay right there, folks, fast market coming up next. Have a great one, have a safe one. Thanks, man. Well, we'll get them, folks.


Okay, we're back live inside theCUBE, getting down to the final stretch here on day three of SiliconANGLE.tv's exclusive coverage of HP Discover 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com. I'm joined by my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org, and we're here with Ryan Virubotla from SAP, who's vice president at SAP. We were just at Sapphire, we were talking off camera a few weeks ago. First of all, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. Great event. We did, there's a third Sapphire, John, right? Yeah, third year in a row now. Season three of theCUBE. Amazing to watch the transformation of SAP. Yeah. You know, you think of SAP as big and stodgy and slow, and boy, that wasn't what we heard at Sapphire. I mean, it was like mobile and personalization. And HANA, of course. A lot about HANA. We love, so two years ago, we were really bullish on SAP because the messaging was so good. You know, with HANA and the side-based acquisition, and this year, really again, leveled up again with some great demonstrations. A lot of customer testimonials, which added up to a lot of the positioning of the year before. But it's just, and I talked to Shnabe about, Jim Shnabe about this on my one-on-one with him at one of the evening events I had time with him on.  You don't know it yet, but you guys are big data. And he felt it was a little bit too hyped with their conservative positioning, but you guys got everything. Real-time analytics in memory, which is one of the hottest areas on the planet right now. And obviously the app workloads are changing in big time and throwing off more data.  We have strong aspirations.  Come on, say it. The term big data is being over-hyped, over-used. We process terabytes and terabytes of data. HANA has no data limit. In our true-scale-out architecture, we can take some of the largest clients that are there with terabytes and maybe petabytes of data and analyze it real-time. So, we absolutely have a very strong product portfolio, very innovative product in terms of- Well, I worry about you guys because, you know- Worry? Well, there's some risk involved in the strategy, right? So, HANA is amazing, right? And with all the open-source activity going on around Hadoop that sometimes in history, the best technology doesn't always win. So, when I say that, I mean, I worry about because you have such good technology. With open-source, really disrupting the marketplace. You guys still are playing in these production environments. So, I wanted to ask you a couple questions around that. At the scale, because the scale is where that, you kind of can separate the men from the boys. You know what I'm saying? I can do batch, I can use Hadoop, but you talk about high availability in real-time. At scale, different conversation. So, I talk about the app workloads that are scaling and throwing off data. And then also talk about the role of flash in the equation. Because you've got companies like Fusion IO, violin memory systems coming out with really, really interesting offerings. And just to add to that, and your messaging is, imagine a world without disk-based database. Right, absolutely. So, let me address both the questions. First, let me start with the second question. There are some very interesting technologies coming up. Violin is an example. The world is moving to a non-volatile RAM, NV-RAM, where you don't lose data when you switch off the machine, which is somewhat critical for a product like HANA because it's all memory E-RAM-based. So, we are certainly working with a number of technology partners. Violin is an example. HP is a great example. We have a significant co-innovation with HP, not only to optimize HANA for HP environments, but also bring in some of the mission-critical capabilities like disaster recovery, disaster tolerance, high availability. So, those are some of the works that we are absolutely, very seriously kind of enhancing on a daily basis. And these technologies, these breakthrough technologies are a great trend that's giving us the on-RAM to get there and partners such as HP are definitely. So, John, as I was meeting with Joe Tucci at EMC World, right? We had the analyst meeting and I asked him about his relationship with SAP because it's very strong, right? You see HP competitor. I actually got him on social cam saying I got HP. And he said, yeah, I like Jim McDermott. I mean, Bill McDermott worked very closely with him. But I don't like their messaging at all. They got it all wrong. What they're saying is not right. We need disk. But what you just, and his point was you needed to be highly available to be backed up, to be protected. But you just said, essentially you can do that inside of HANA. So, technology is getting there. So, let me first say that even in HANA, there is a disk component. There is a log that gets written for persistency reasons. And you absolutely need it today. But where technology is headed is you could store data some semi-permanently in a RAM. So, that's the new technology that you just mentioned. But guys like HP want to store it permanently for you. So, that's where they come. And you don't want to be in that business, I presume, right? SAP is not in the infrastructure business, right? We are primarily in the innovation business. We bring breakthrough innovations to the market where we are really good at software. Hardware, we rely on the ecosystem and partners. There's innovations that you don't want to touch in hardware. Leave that to Intel. Absolutely, Intel is a great partner, by the way. Yeah, of course. I don't know if anyone mentioned this to you, but one of our key partners for HANA, who made HANA possible for us, is Intel. So, I manage the technology partnerships for SAP. And Hasso talks about that, right? Yeah, absolutely. So, Intel is one of my partner. I'm very proud of what we've done with Intel. I'm very proud of what we've done with HP. Awesome, Bob. You guys are doing great right now. And again, we always talk about Oracle and SAP, because Oracle's got their approach.  But with that in mind, let's talk about this whole multivendor architecture, because with Flash, it opens up new possibilities, obviously enabling HANA to be highly more effective. You mentioned backup and recovery, data protection. Absolutely. Huge marketplace right now. EMC's the market leader. We just talked to, David and I just did a special session today on analysis of HP's approach. These new architectures are changing old ways. Absolutely. How do they do, when backup's never going to go away. I mean, people still want backup, but recovery is an issue. So, one, backing up stuff faster. Okay, that's getting better. HP's got a good solution there. But they need recovery. So, like now with big data and real-time analytics, which you guys do a lot on, and you might have something parked away for 50 days, you need it in five minutes, five seconds. So, can you share the vision of how that's changing architecturally? So, it's the rapidly evolving technology. So, let me give you a couple of examples. HP, I mean, since we are at Discover, let me bring up some HP example, which is very relevant to this conversation. We are working closely with HP Storage and they have a technology called StoreOnce, which rapidly enhances and backup and recovery capabilities. What that is, is you don't have to store duplicate records. It can optimize your backup set to a very small set of records that actually have changed. And it's all done at the backup system level. So, HANA is not loaded by that. The advantage of something like that is your backup set is small, so your recovery is faster. Because you're only touching the net view. You don't have to go apply the entire backup set way through everything and figure out exactly the records that have changed. You have a set of records that have changed and you could import that back. That is one such example, but there are absolutely mentioned flash, there are new ways of backing up. This whole area about in-memory computing in general and getting to mission critical stage is a very rapidly evolving technology. We are very glad we have such a market leading product in HANA. We feel we are setting the market trend and direction here. When you have that enabling change, that technology change where it's enabling new solutions, is disruption. So, who's being disrupted out there? Because that's kind of what everyone wants to know, because people hope it's not them. Certainly the business models are being disrupted. The customer environments are being disrupted. Well, Larry Ellison said you've taken him on in databases like him playing one-on-one with Kobe. So I'm assuming that that's one of the targets of disruption is Oracle, or else Larry Ellison wouldn't be saying anything. So I'm sure Larry focuses on a lot of things, but from our perspective, our primary focus is customer value. We care most about providing innovative solutions to the customer. Part of that is giving them differentiation and HANA does few things that are extraordinary. I don't think people realize HANA is in-memory engine, it's very fast, it can do everything in memory, all that is great. But apart from that, there's a fundamental value proposition of HANA, which is real-time. What it can do is take your transactional data. In normal sense, what happens today is you take your transactional data, you perform some kind of ETL on it, store in operational data source, and from there store into your data warehouse, and from there get a report, and the whole process takes about three to seven days. So really there is no scope of real-time reporting if you're talking about big data. Whereas what HANA allows you to do is take away all the layers in between. You can go from a transactional data directly to a multi-terabyte report where you can slice and dice. That is the huge disruption. So kind of taking away all these layers definitely impacts data warehouse, the way you think about data warehouses, the way you build data warehouses, so it disrupts that whole segment. Also HANA enables new class applications which in the past were somewhat inconceivable because you could not think that you could manage such a high amount of data and get real-time analytics. And databases, of course, I mean we are very serious about that. Bill McDermott is on record to say we want to be number two in the database market soon. Yeah, so obviously we do a lot of following you guys as well as HP, but also we follow a lot of the open-source movements and HP and Intel as well, but mostly HP and I was embraced open-source. I was with Hadoop, for example. I had a chance to talk to your co-founder, our inventor of HANA, about Hadoop. And I said, you've been following HBase and Hadoop and he goes, no, but one of my people has them. I'm assuming that's probably you, but... But HP... It's not me, but... Someone was underneath him. But that emergence is challenging as well as data warehouse because the economics are a fact. You can do stuff in batch and they say near real-time, but it's not as fast as what you guys do. What are you guys doing with the open? How do you guys look at Hadoop? Because certainly people are embracing Hadoop not trying to fight it. So it's not necessarily competitive. How do you guys look at Hadoop? It is very complementary the way I see it. In the transactional data world, the challenges are different. It's not just the size of the data. The data has to make sense. There's a lot of transformations. There are a lot of computing. There's a lot of summarization and materialization that goes on to get to the end result. Hadoop does a great job of kind of bringing the big data storage together. And it's very complementary to what we do in HANA. But HANA brings the additional layer of value, getting transactional data to reports in real-time, kind of having the ability to slice and dice and data real-time with the engine that can perform because of the in-memory nature, because of the performance improvements. So we see these two are somewhat of a complementary technologies. Obviously right now, based on where we are, we don't expect people to store petabytes of data in memory. Definitely hundreds of terabytes is feasible. So there is a coexistence strategy and we are working through that. There was some announcements at Sapphire about Hadoop and you will see a lot more announcements come through from their perspective. That's great. So I have to ask you, I have to go back to HANA because there's some skeptics out there and I wonder if you could address that. So they would say, okay, yeah, hundreds of terabytes, but the HANA deployments that we talked to, they're very, very small today. You've got to make inroads against traditional, well-entrenched RDBMS players like Oracle, like IBM, like Teradata. And you have a whole host of really low-cost sort of alternatives coming up, bubbling up well-funded startups, HP Vertica, they're a partner, but you've got some interesting technologies.  So how do you respond to that, those skeptics, right? So first let me address the HANA revenues. HANA is one of the most successful products that SAP ever had. The rate at which the revenue is ramping even beats SAP R3, which was our previous blockbuster product. We have gone from zero to 100 million in record time. If you think about it, HANA was released what General Availability last year, June. It's a fairly new product. For the amount of adoption it has received and the traction we have received, it is unbelievable and we would like to thank the customers, the partners for giving HANA the kind of momentum it enjoys today. There's public numbers on that, 160 million euro, right? Absolutely, absolutely. Now the initial use cases that we started with was to have HANA as a data mod, as a analytics tool sitting side by side SAP ERP. And then towards SAFAR time, we released the second phase of HANA Evolution which is putting HANA as the engine underneath our business warehouse. It's taken tremendously, the momentum is great. Customers are adopting, there's some great customer stories. Be happy to go into those details if required. So customers are picking up HANA. Now it's a new technology, it's a disruptive technology, so they're going to be some critics. Of course, our friends up the road from us won't like what we're doing, so there will be some amount of skeptics there as well. But the numbers speak for themselves and we feel it's adding tremendous customer value and that's all it's all about. At the end of the day, you must have seen in SAFAR there were a number of customer testimonials on the value that HANA bought to the table. Take T-Mobile, Long-Fool Springs, you got a Boschie. You guys did a great job at SAFAR. Here's the thing, so I had to ask the question and thank you for that answer. I think HANA, like big data, we've talked about this a lot, the impact that it will have on your customer's business is going to create a lot more value, much more value. So you're creating more value than you're extracting, which as Tim O'Reilly would say is a good thing. That's a self-serving principle, by the way. And you probably saw that with ERP. In the 1990s, early 90s, if you said who's going to win an ERP, you wouldn't have said SAP. And if you look at who made the most money in ERP, it wasn't SAP, it was SAP customers. Exactly, it's all about the productivity improvements. We are really proud, if you take even the ERP example, there is a statistic out there, the largest number of world transactions go through SAP, there's even a 60% number out there. And that is what we're looking to do with HANA. Significantly change the market and add tremendous value to the customers. All right, thanks for coming inside theCUBE. Obviously, SAP, we've done three years, part of the original CUBE inception. When we first started this now successful franchise, we want to thank SAP for allowing us to bring our independent coverage down to Sapphire. We've had Jim Schnabe come on theCUBE and he said this is a big concept, he loves theCUBE. We didn't have a chance to get him this year on, but last year was on for seven minutes. And great, great company, you guys doing great. My only criticism of SAP is, and there's not a lot to throw around there, but I'm going to really go try to find something, is that on the marketing side, I would embrace big data because customers at the C-level, we are selling the analytics, understand the mandate of big data. Sure, it's not still unknown, but the concept of big data, I think we're creating industry, and I think we've got that. Well, two years ago, John Furrier, you coined the term big fast data. And then Bill McDermott this year in his keynote, as you know, mentioned big data, not as many times as Joe Tucci in his keynote. But so my prediction would be, you're going to get there and take John Furrier's lead with big fast data. I'm sure he'll be there. You guys are well positioned in the big data space. And again, the area that's under amplified is the fact that the in-memory work you're doing is really phenomenal, and that's going to be paid dividends, I think. So, Brian, thanks for coming. We'll be right back with our next guest right after the short break. Thank you.
