Dusty sticks as hey, Mike. What are your thoughts on the Oregon governor race? That's a really great question, actually If you don't know anything about the race you think that it's a pleasant surprise Because there's three Candidates or actually viable the problem is that The independent candidate who is kind of like this Yang adjacent Individual named Betsy Johnson Andrew Yang has like praised her before shared an article about how Oregon could have an independent governor She's literally just like a corporate Democrat. So we don't have three different options. It's the same options It's more progressive corporate Democrat or hyper conservative corporate Democrat like Joe Manchin and then there is a forced brother Republican The problem with this race that really irritates me is that Betsy Johnson This is an individual who used to actually be my state state senator And she was very progressive before she turned into a mansion and I believe in common sense gun safety legislation I've supported it my entire time in the legislature and a speaker made sure we got important things done My opponents have voted or are not in favor of those things I bet they would have voted to know if they had been there and then when the ones who were there did vote No, that was background checks. That was red flag laws. That was safe storage requirements things that We know work you have just heard from my opponents representative Drazen doesn't want to do anything Tina wants to take your guns and She when I talked to her about sponsoring a resolution to get money out of politics the Wolfpack amendment specifically She was open to it like she returned voicemails like she was really interested in trying to fix the country But now the whole reason why she is viable is because her entire campaign is bankrolled by a couple of elites She actually outraised the Republican and the Democrat in this race as an independent and so that's why our system is so fucked up That's why we need electoral reform because the problem is whenever you have these independent candidates They're not gonna be viable unless they're like Some darling of a rich person or two rich people now I'm not opposed to like an independent running certainly I'm worried about the spoiler effect because you know some polls indicate that it's a toss-up between the Republican and the Democrat Because Betsy Johnson is like 10 points behind although she probably pulls from the Republicans a little bit But definitely more so from the Democrats, but either way like I'm not opposed to it an independent running I actually voted for an independent. I think two times in a row. His name was Chris something I can't remember but he was very very progressive I voted for him when kids hobber was still in office And I think I voted for him he ran for a different office And I either wrote him in or voted for him either way like I voted for independence So I'm not opposed to it inherently But if we're gonna have alternatives to Democrat and Republicans then we should have an actual meaningful alternative That has some ideological differences between both of them, but really it's just more corporate like I watched the debate Last week and Betsy Johnson literally said if I'm the governor of Oregon I'm gonna have this the number of every CEO on speed dial I would be a governor bent on economic development having the phone numbers of the CEOs of our major corporations on speed dial Reaching out to them constantly saying what can the state of Oregon do to partner better with you to anticipate your needs Now do you think that she's going to be negotiating on behalf of workers? Trying to lobby these CEOs who she's personally in touch with to you know improve working conditions Give their workers raises opt for unionization. Of course not. It's gonna all be for corruption pork If they donate to her campaign and she's elected. She's going to be doing favors for them So that's kind of like my thoughts on the Oregon gubernatorial race. I think I'll probably end up Expanding on my views here in the coming weeks but it's it's really frustrating because there's really not good options here and The Democrat option is not great It's kind of the more safer establishment pick when we had a lot of progressives running In the primary who I voted for I don't remember who I voted for because there was like four progressives And I had to like extensively research all of them to come to my conclusion But you know, there are too many progressives And I think they all split the vote and that paved the way for the more corporate Democrat But even calling Tina Kotek who's the Democratic Party nominee a corporate Democrat is a little bit of a mischaracterization Because even if she is a corporate friendly Democrat comparing her to like the standard corporate Democrat in the Senate or the House She would be viewed as like one of the more progressive people like even Kate Brown people like to shit on her She's literally the least popular governor according to a poll that came out recently I'm not sure who conducted it by the way like she's she's hated largely due to COVID restrictions being very strict people don't like it, right? There's a lot of fear mongering for example with the mask mandate Oh, she wants to have this mask mandate indefinitely when that's not what it was like I had to renew the mask mandate every couple of months and rather than doing that You just make it indefinite until the pandemic is over and then you cancel it But either way like even for a Kate Brown being a corporate Democrat being bankrolled by Comcast. She did good She shocked me.  So she did some good things. That's not to say that this was like a progressive a super progressive, you know governor, but It's not that bad the Republican Winston is somebody who says well, look, I believe that Biden won the election Okay, Biden won. He is the president of the United States. I accept the results, but There's a big bud here She is still conspiracy mongering about election integrity She is doing dog whistles suggesting that she'd support electoral reform not electoral reform the opposite of electoral reform voter suppression Which is really scary. She's also a forced birther She claims that she wouldn't totally ban abortion But she's very clear about the fact that she wants to impose more restrictions on abortion And she's saying third trimester, but in actuality we know that this is gonna go deeper than that and she's just like another corporatist One thing that is good is that even in Oregon the Republicans as crazy as they may be They aren't like as bad as Republicans in DC like Christine Drazen who's the Republican nominee is bad And I would never vote for her she actually led the walkout when you know Kate Brown was trying to pass a climate change with the way that she talks specifically the rhetoric that she uses when it comes to homelessness She doesn't like Overtly say oh, that's criminalized in fact Betsy Johnson Johnson is probably worse when it comes to rhetoric and homelessness But like the Republican is like hmm We need to do something and she like uses words like compassion and even if she's not gonna do anything It's still refreshing to see a Republican not like pretend as if they're subhuman, right? So, yeah That's kind of the state of the Oregon governor race. That's my thoughts on it currently I'll be Voting for Tina Kotec. Not really that begrudgingly. She has some pretty solid plans There's a lot about her that I don't like she's also very business friendly and when I say business friendly I mean more friendly to businesses than workers and I hate that But when it comes to you know this independent that's in the race I am worried that because there's no right wing or I mean Betsy Johnson is right wing But like because there's no Alt independent who's pulling an equal amount of votes from the Republican I'm worried about the spoiler effect and I still think that Tina Kotec probably is the favorite I looked at 538 polling and out of a hundred different times Tina Kotec has won 70% of the time But still there are some polls right-leaning polls But polls nonetheless that show that it's a toss of that Drazen edges out It's in you know the margin of error, but it's still it's really close And there's a lot of people who are dissatisfied with Kate Brown because of the Way that she handled COVID and in particular I think what really that was the straw that broke the camel's back was vaccine mandates for employees She instituted that early. She was really good about that.  So you have people who are economically devastated. There's there's some I Think of my mom's District it's one of the Obama to Trump counties actually So, you know, you have people who have a reason to be disaffected with the establishment But at the same time, you know reactionary politics has really taken hold and there's been like militias outside of Portland to form in more rural areas of Oregon So you have this kind of like rural or urban divide right now There's even a movement in eastern Oregon to kind of switch and go to Idaho for example So there's a lot Oregon is a very interesting state, but in this particular election I'm absolutely voting for Tina Kotec and I'm not apologetic about that. She's not my first choice Not my second choice. Not my third choice, but is she better than the other two options by a mile and a half? Absolutely, so yeah, yeah a group in eastern Oregon and can confirm. Yeah, it's it's shockingly Racist and a lot of areas of Oregon and people don't know this when you tell them this They have no idea how racist Oregon is because you see this deep blue state and you see, you know You have this visualization of Portland and they're so quirky You know the Portlandia show I think it was an accurate portrayal, you know I'll be at hyperbolic of people in Portland because they're all very kooky.   Why elaborate further when I just kind of shared all my thoughts, right? Mike is a total shit Once he started chilling for the DNC, I Stopped watching so I definitely won't be hitting the subscribe button or turning on notifications By clicking the bell. No way. It's very sad. I know


Weirdly enough, I feel like there's not that much country music here in Austin Hey, all it's up. Welcome to a new vlog. My name is Sonali and my boyfriend's in town Today's a really exciting day because we have a reservation for sushi bar E.T.X If you guys are in Austin and you've heard of this place, you know how hard it is to get in to this restaurant I believe it's a 10 person seating dinner I think 10 or something and it's omakasi and it is Literally so good. I dream about it almost every single day. I'm a sushi addict So that was like one of the highlights of my life this morning We are starting off the day by going to get some breakfast and some coffee. I think I'm probably gonna get a chai I've been at this place before it's actually on U.T.'s campus. So we're like pulling up and there's so many people walking I Sometimes forget I I mean technically we do live in a college town because Austin is college town, right?  That's crazy But we're gonna check out Lucky Lab coffee. I've been here before the chai was really really good so Stoppers They're here messed up like that Hi stoppers I forgot to show you guys an update on my click and grow in the last vlog So let me show you guys what it looks like. I am so freaking hyped. I think this has been about three weeks or two weeks I think this is going to be basil Definitely cilantro and then I guess that leaves this one as mint which this one's struggling I'm not really sure why but this one it grew first and then this one Sprouted like honestly a week after but that now this is like way taller. So that's kind of crazy And I haven't filled it up. It seems like there's still water in there I haven't filled it up since I did the first time. So that's pretty awesome too because if you're gone for like two weeks Let's say it's still gonna self-water your plants and the light turns off Like for eight hours. So it's like kind of like on a cycle But yeah, I need this one to grow because I feel like I like to use mint the most out of all of these herbs but I'm so excited to finally start using all of these when they grow a little bit bigger and Especially just stop wasting herbs. So at 1 p.m. I actually have a follow-up for my veneers And we're gonna do my full like video shoot today. My Dennis and his team are so good at social media He has like almost three million followers on tiktok and that's how I found him in the first place I'm currently headed to dr. Patel's office and then after that. I'm going to meet the videographer at the domain I'm not sure like exactly where or if he booked a studio I kind of hope so just because it's gonna be hot, but oh my god this morning I walked out and I took Sophie out. It was so nice It was like so chilly and cold and I was like what the heck I Like forget what the cold feels like if you live in Texas. I bet you feel me on that I agree we're in the selfie studio thingy at the domain and Introduce yourself. What's good? My name is Dominic Tolger and I'm a tiktoker and we're here You know I'm saying make some content about our teeth or smile. Yes And I'm Jared I work for a Delta Patel who Smiles yes, I'm gonna get some really cool content.  Wow. Oh, I think that's what it's called in the selfie galleries Like this would be fun for like a tiktok Should have brought my tripod. Oh, that's a cool one Oh How cool this tunnel is and it was a mess getting home, but I'm back home It just changed into a dress me and Ryan are actually gonna head out to get some like chips and salsa somewhere I just feel like we need like something in our systems because dinner is at 9 30 We're going to sushi bar ATX so freaking pumped that is like way to wait eat For dinner because I don't think I even really had lunch. I just had What I had at Lucky Lab But we are gonna go get some chips and salsa then we're gonna go to like a PR event for a wine Company or maybe a winery. I'm not really sure. We'll find out more when we get there and then we'll go to our reservation But bachelor in paradise is on tonight. It's the first episode of the season. So I'm kind of bummed I'm missing it I usually have my friends over to watch bachelorette and I'll probably continue the tradition Because I feel like it's just like I feel like it's just a nice way to get together during the week And it doesn't really involve drinking unless people want to drink wine, which I'm totally fine with but It's just like a nice little Way to hang out with your girls during the week So I definitely want to keep doing that. You're wondering why I'm standing in the garage Just because I forgot my key. I like transferred my purse over to this one and Remember to put my car key in it. So I graciously went back to get it But it is almost 6 p.m. Which is when the event starts This is to the wine community here awesome and even folks that consider themselves Novice in wine you give a bit of education. It's in a fun Engaging environment sexy Spits you have to come check it out. We are available for wine tastings Wednesday through Sunday We'd love to have you And we have a couple of different offerings. We do Sparkling tastings on Sunday We have a classic tasting and if you're a real newbie on Thursdays We have a wine 101 to where you can brew out and learning about wines so that you can be You can take your wine journey Our vision was to create kind of a speakeasy lounge where people could just come in and feel really comfortable and Kind of swanky little environment But really like unassuming from the outside So we were just like wanted you to kind of walk in and be really surprised about the outside I'm going to talk to you unless you're like four walls deep And then you might have some issues We're not going to bring you back But you're going to use all your senses. So the first thing everyone says you can eat with your eyes So you're going to look at the wine It's very easy if you have something white on the background If not, not a big deal Sight is one of the least important factors But you're going to want to turn your glass so you can see directly through A portion of your wine. It's easier for me because my glass is so big and I have a lot less But you're trying to look through it Because what's your first looking for making sure there's nothing in your wine? That's no no But also the color can tell you certain things White wines, for instance, like a very boat chardonnay will be very golden in color A lot darker than like a sauté en blanc That's typically going to be very, you know, almost sea fruit So with red wines, certain things like peen and a lard, very light colors, certain things like merlot Sera, cap, a lot darker of color Anyways, again, it's not that important Next thing you're going to do, smell the wine So smell is the most important sense you're going to use here Smell takes about 80% of your flavor or your taste So when you smell it, there's a couple of ways.  That's very common A lot of people like to smell in that way How I do it is I actually smell on each side of my nose separately So different sides of your nose will have, yeah, exactly. People typically do that You don't even do that. You can like, here's what I do. I kind of cut off one side And then you can roll it back and forth But the reason being is that one side of your nose is doing all the work Actually, it's like 90% of the work every hour of the day, but it will change constantly So you don't know which side is actually working.  You can put it on the table if that's easier Do nice little tight swirls Yeah, it looks kind of cool, but it actually does a lot That's what I'm so, exactly So especially with like a cold white wine, it's very important because All those compounds and molecules are loving up on one another. They're all tight They're all hanging on Introducing the nausea is going to break those apart Open up the aroma. You hear the phrase open up that wine with the wine breathe These are things that you're doing by swirling that wine After you swirl it, smell it again It may smell more, may not It actually does give a little more fragrance, at least in my perception A lot of dark fruit here. When I say dark fruit, I mean like blueberry, blackberry Boys and berry, those types of fruits Versus like a red fruit lecture Then the best part, you taste it. So when you taste it, all you're thinking about Is eating every part of your palate. It's your palate, your tongue, you don't even swish it around your teeth But different parts of your tongue have different sensory receptors For most people, it's sweetness in the front, bitterness in the back, sourness on the sides You really want to coat that whole palate, so you're kind of hitting all those points And hitting the holes here in some of that wine It's like this.  I think we're going to get like Some Iroko or something What? Sushi bar ATX, so I'm just getting sushi We're going to sushi bar ATX. Guys, you don't understand how big this is But if you do understand, I appreciate you Okay We're going to bring those coasters down closer to you We just ask that you put them back up on this ledge so that we can give you that nice push You guys also have some pickles in front of you right now These are going to be treated as a couch One of these are throughout Nice, it's kind of like Bittersweet day because we are selling our first ever couch Sophie was just enjoying it before I started the vlog This was one of the two items that I saved up for in college because I knew I Could not just settle on something post-grad So a white couch was one of my main things I wanted so bad when I got my first apartment And then a smart tv which is behind you and I'm never regretted any of these purchases I love my smart tv so much, which I feel like a lot of tv's nowadays are smart But I feel like it was a big deal back then because I never really had like a tv that you didn't have to have like a whole separate apple tv Like it was just all built in there and I thought it was so cool I could like cast my youtube videos on it. Anyways, I still love that tv But this couch is getting picked up in like about 15 minutes It was from Wayfair and I did a whole video on it So I will link that down below as well as like the link to this couch If you guys are so interested because it's um, I think it's like under $2,000 Which definitely sounds like a lot at first But this couch was so comfortable number one and number two couches are not cheap Fridtenture is not cheap And that is definitely more on the affordable end for like really nice big sectionals like this I would say So But I actually just posted a video about my West Elm couch in the other room Which obviously that one's going to be way more expensive because it's like a big brand name I got so many comments saying that like the couch was so expensive low ball Like why did I buy that? It's a sleeper sofa And I'm like are we hating on sleeper sofas like I literally said it was a purchase I will never regret I never said it was cheap And I think people on tiktok sometimes they're trained to think that everything will be a dupe And that everything is going to be more affordable But I was just showing off my couch that I freaking love so much that turns into a guest bed And saves me some space in my tiny little office So anyways, I'm actually upgrading my couch and it's getting delivered tomorrow I bought a new one off of Wayfair and it's a little bit bigger It is I believe like wider because this um Fabric is conversation pearl if you're looking at the specific couch So I would say it's like an off-white It definitely got a little bit dingy over the years I mean we've had this thing for three years and I'm not really sure like the actual lifespan Of a couch it is still going strong. It is so freaking comfortable I remember when we first moved here. We were looking for couches in store So that I didn't have to wait a while because I did have to wait like maybe I don't know one or two months for this definitely worth it So just keep that in mind But the couch I'm getting today shipped so fast And that's like another reason why I was very like intrigued and wanted to purchase this new one But anyways, this is so comfortable like I'm gonna miss my naps on this And I'm really hoping the new one is just as comfortable Or hopefully even more because it's more like spacious. I think it looks like it at least Um, so yeah, very exciting and the new couch has like this ottoman like that Chase part. I don't think it's like actually connected so you can like move around the ottoman And it has storage and ottoman I'm like, I feel like every couch should have like storage underneath it. That would be so nice So all those blankets are definitely going in the ottoman Because I think the couch will be too big for that basket to even be there. I also purchased a new rug, which is going to come October I think it already shipped so it should be coming like soon-ish I'm actually very surprised at like the shipping times on all this stuff because I think they literally just weaved my rug I got it on etsy and it's gonna be so gorgeous. I'm so hyped But one more thing I want to get for the living room is Just a floor lamp because I feel like whenever we're watching tv at night I hate lights on when I'm watching tv because I feel like my eyes are very distracted by other light But I feel like I've seen so many other apartments where they have like one like nice yellow warm light on And it's so vibey at night. So I really want to look into that Um But for now we're just gonna wait till the couch gets here See how much actual room we have to work around because I'm not really sure If I'll actually have a lot of room to work with but any more She looks so cute today As you can tell the couch is gone And I also gave her my rugable rug because I ordered another rug And I was just like you can just take it if you want because I was gonna have to get rid of it anyways And I just didn't want to deal with that. So I got $200 for the couch and I think I paid like definitely 1000 something for the couch And you guys are probably like what the heck like why do you not sell it for more? But it was really dingy It just had a lot of pilling and I didn't really want to like shave it So I was really willing to take the hit on that Um, but I'm glad I got that taken care of and tomorrow's the day that I get my new couch I kind of want to vlog tomorrow separately We're also going to a whole swindell concert tomorrow with all of our friends So that's gonna be really fun. I have not been to a country concert in so long I don't think whole swindell would have been my first choice But weirdly enough, I feel like there's not that much country Music here in austin at least like big artists. I feel like they always go to like san antonio houston dallis nondallas I feel like san antonio houston. Oh my god, that scared me I feel like they never really come here, but we did get a new Concert venue. It's called the moody center. It's like right next to ut so hoping that they come To austin like more often, but i'm really mad because I think i'm gonna go to georgia Like in october late october and I just saw that parker mccullum is playing When i'm in georgia I'm so sad because i've been telling myself. I really really want to go see him live All my friends already saw him live and I can't remember why I couldn't go that day, but I know I couldn't go Yeah, I'm just really sad, but hopefully he'll come back And not be like too crazy expensive Um, but we are actually going to another kind of like pr event type thing The well is featuring some new drinks and some new appetizers and food on their happy hour menu so I got invited to try it and Ryan is going to come along with me Let's do an outfit of the day because i'm obsessed with this outfit. So cute starting off with my shirt I feel like these checkered patterns are really in right now This one is from revolve and I know it's under a hundred dollars. I think it was like 68 And I bought it when I bought like all of those going out tops So I have not had the chance to wear it yet because it's been so hot But this morning was so nice and I feel like I keep saying that but it just keeps getting cooler this morning I woke up and it was 59 degrees out. I put on my sweat set. I put on my uggs like I was not playing out here Um, but these jeans are actually new. I just got them from abracombie. They're kind of like a boot cut style and I really like them because they have like contrasted stitching I think that's what it's called. Um, but yeah, I think they look really good And then shoes are my nose heels from dolce vita I feel like I always want to like step out of my comfort zone and wear other heels, but These are just so comfortable Can't chance it, you know, and then the bag is from Pot Bay. It's like from an instagram ad, but it's so cute. I love it and now I'm just realizing I need to put on some earrings And into literally we'll get around to dinner. Get some sushi. Maybe just like one roll or something I walked by a Lambert's today Oh, and it smells really good It's barbecue Wasn't this the first barbecue place we went to in Austin's Lambert's? Because terry blacks was too long It is Friday today, we're going to the coleswandel concert going to be so fun and we're also getting our new couch I'm so excited. Um, they're supposed to come between one and five And it looks like I'm going to be like the last delivery So it'll be probably closer to the end of the day, which isn't great because we're going to go Um up to the domain to pregame at someone's house literally right at 5 30 So I'm just hoping that they get here like more in the middle or like earlier But we'll see hopefully it all works out. Um, but I have my aloe sweat set on Because I'm going to go get some breakfast lunch with my friend, Andy Shugging this water. I feel like every time I go out, I just need to My apartment I got the courtesy call from way fair that there are about 30 to 40 minutes out So perfect timing. I think we'll get here about two. I'm so excited to see it in person They didn't have like a bunch of reviews because it looked like a newer couch So I'm going to be doing like a whole video on it because my last couch video did really well And I feel like this is a very similar vibe like it's a white sectional But this one's more like that crowd couch feel We got our new couch listening peak, but I'm going to show you guys in a full other video So like I said, we're going to a coleslaw and del concert and we are going to drive up to the domain in pregame at a friend's house And then go to the concert. Apparently the concert starts at 6 and it's like five 5 19 so I don't know if we're gonna miss a lot of the openers or what but Let me show you guys my outfit. Let's talk about these boots first I am obsessed with these the feeling of them is more of like a soft Like it's not really like super stiff, but it's just like so high quality They're tukovas and then these shorts are abracombie I believe yes, and then the top is revolve. I love the shirt It's very like revealing but also like it's the same color as my skin So it kind of like looks weird, but I just love like the fit of it I think it's very like snatching so but I really really like the fit of it I feel like it's super flattering And I'll try to link everything Down below and I'll probably film the rest of the vlog on my iPhone. It's Ryan's last night. I'm really sad But hopefully we'll make it the best last night


Now, the governorship candidate of the old Progressive Congress in Adamawa State, Senator Aishatou Dahiro Binani, has recently distributed fertilizers and pump-in machines free of charge to dry-season farmers at Lake Gerlio, who were victims of the 2022 flood disaster. Binani has been reaching out to peasants farmers for years, whose livelihood depends on farming as part of measures to fight hunger and bull's food production in the state. The joyous mood of the beneficiaries can be best described as a festive one for farmers. Adamawa State is an agricultural-based economy state. We have the mining and industrialization. All these are productive sector, which if it is being harnessed together, it will certainly boost the GDP of the states. The duties that are going here is mainly a distribution of fertilizer and pump-in machine, which is meant for the people of Gerlio. Where last year we went there because of one or two issues, there was overflowing that affected the farmers in Gerlio, and we went there, we took some data and we met with the management of Gerlio, where we thoroughly investigated those farmers that were affected by the flood. At the end of the day, we came out with some comprehensive leads that led to this program that Distinguished Senator Aishatou Dahiro Binani decided to assist them with pump and fertilizer in case of those who want to farm during the dry season. Be happy and pray for her to get what she wants. I came here to collect the assistance from Binani. When the flood occurred to us, the Binani people came and collected our names. We took these jokes today, but we are here to collect the reality. We are here to collect the donation that Binani gave us and we are very thankful to her that we appreciate it.

Fun sport Friday brings us to Florence. We're watching Calcio Storico, a game in which you'll never guess it's so simple. The front lines box, they just try to kick each other's ass, knock the opponent out, so they have less people. While the back play the simplest game, you just try to put that ball on that side of the field. Oh, nice little deek there. Back tracks a little, going to have another deek there. Slips to the left, finds an open lane, tosses it into the net, and Giovanni takes the lead. The green team is Giovanni Verde.  I don't think it ever stops. The forwards, there's 15 forwards, and literally they just try to kick each other's ass, hurt the opponent so they have less players.   Let's make it so he can't walk anymore and can't play anymore. This guy's got an open lane, he's flying, cuts left, cuts right. Defender on his trail, he's eventually going to catch up. Tackle him, doesn't matter, pops up, puts it in the net.  Oh, a little water. Oh, that'll help. These guys are boxing. It's the four quadrants of Florence. So there's some regional pride here, but not these pussies.   Come on, fight. No? You don't want to fight me? Okay.  This is rather nice. My wife doesn't hug me anymore. So yeah. Oh, from deep as the deepest goal of the game that I saw, Giovanni takes the lead. These guys fighting, just boxing it up, wild.  I wonder if he's allowed to in. That'd be cool if you could just throw him out and then he's not allowed back in. Fat guy's getting attended to while the game goes on in the middle. It's like handball, football, boxing, mixed martial arts, body slamming. I don't know why I couldn't talk right there. Oh, love. Would you dance if I asked you to dance? Would you be my hero, baby? Those guys fell in love. They definitely made out after the match. No doubt in my mind. You hold me. I'll hold you. Let's just hang out all game. That's cool. Another goal there.  They win. They get to celebrate. Woo. Couchostorico. Sign me up to play this never. I would never, ever like to play this game.


Number 10 we're finding the exact volume of two cones that have been put together at their bases So what we're gonna do here is we're going to add together the volume of the two cones So volume of the first cone Which you can't really read what that says Okay, so a volume of the first cone plus Volume of the second cone when we add those together it'll give us the volume of that whole figure All right, so volume of a cone is one third times pi r squared times the height of the cone and Same thing for the other cone You'll see that the radius is the same for both cones The only thing that's different is the height so for the first one. I'm gonna do one third times pi times 7.5 squared times four and for the second one. It's gonna be exactly the same thing 7.5 squared, but the height is 10 Now it does say give the exact volume So you're gonna start with this right here and calculate 7.5 squared times 4 divide that by 3 you should get 75. So that's 75 pi when you do this Evaluation 7.5 squared times 10 divided by 3 you get 187.5 pi and Then when you add those two together You get 262 oops 0.5 pi and that is centimeters cubed so 262.5 cubic centimeters would be the total volume of this shape in number 11 We're gonna find the volume of a hexagonal prism if all the edges are 10 inches key word here is all What that means is that not only are the edges of the hexagon 10 But the height of the prism would also be 10 Again, the other thing you want to keep in mind here is we're doing a prism not a pyramid So the volume is going to be the area of the base times the height and because the base is a Hexagon we're gonna do one half times a Pothim times perimeter and We're gonna have to then use Our hexagon Excuse my terrible drawing and Find the apothem. So this is a Because the side length is 10 this is 5 if we find the central angle 360 divided by 6 is 60 degrees. So we know that this is a 30 60 90 triangle therefore the apothem has to be 5 root 3 and The perimeter since all the sides are 10 and there are six sides the perimeter is 60 So one half times 5 root 3 times 60 times the height of the prism which is 10 because again remember if all of the edges are 10 That means that in the pentagon. I'm sorry the hexagon and the prism Would have a height of 10 So now if I multiply through I get 1500 root 3 and that would be cubic inches


Hi everyone, Joe for JasperysCaseBreaks.com coming at you with a blaster box of 2019-2020 Panini Mosaic basketball. This is random team number 11 with a shot at one of the two, or I guess if you bought two spots you can win both, but top two spots at the end of this break have a chance to get into that $900 team random which is sold out and we'll be doing that a little bit later. Big thanks to these folks for getting to the action. Remember as always we're doing the break itself first so let's randomize it seven times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time. After seven, Dustin down to Ryan. Two and a five, seven times for the teams. One, two, three, four, and a seventh and final time. After seven, we've got the Brooklyn Nets down to the Pacers. There you go. This is 1920, right? Okay, yeah. So we're looking at, all right, see ya, boss man. We got, there you go, Robert C with the grids right here and Eric S with the pelts. Just a blaster box break, you guys, but you never know something like this. I think yesterday, John Moran autograph of a blaster box, you never know. Bam, bam, give me a Zion, give me a job. Let's do it. No, nothing there, no, nothing there. All right. An NBA debut, Mosaic, Cam Reddish, not too bad, good parallel there, regular top loaders, where are you? Well, we'll do that a little bit later, there's Hachimura and Nikhil Alexander Walker. All right, nothing earth-shattering, but let's see who wins those two spots. So from Henry down to Ryan and everybody in between, let's re-randomize your names six times three and a three, six the hard way, one, two, three, four, five, and six after six times, top two, good luck. Thank you for getting in, appreciate you trying. It's going to be Robert Runkle and Melanie Compton, there you go. Top two are in, you're in that $900 team, Ren. So congrats to you. Thanks for watching. I'm Joe for jaysbyscasewrakes.com, we'll see you next time.


Some of us heap unnecessary trials on ourselves because of our lack of prayer. When you go a day without prayer, you're pointing your finger in the Holy Spirit's face and saying, I can do this without you today. When you go a week without prayer, you're saying, God, I can live this week in my own strength. You live a lifestyle of prayerlessness.  Prayer is a demonstration of your dependency on God.

So everyone, yeah, thank you for coming. Yeah, so yeah, we'll be talking about Bash and CSVs and kind of command line data analysis in general. Yeah, so am I, yeah, I work at a database infrastructure at GitHub. Here's my social media stuff. But relevant to this conference, my first job at a school was at this place, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. They do a lot of urban suburban rural planning for the greater Philadelphia region and I think I was like one of two developers there at like a hundred person organization. And I think it really sparked my interest in open data and GIS info and especially, you know, give you the feeling how having like a little bit of programming experience can really go a long way into helping like reduce kind of manual toil and things like that. So this talk is about using the right tool for the job. Bash is not going to be great for everything, but in certain cases, I think you can get a pretty good first pass on your data or logs without having to rely on external tooling. So why do you use Bash? In certain cases, it can be pretty useful. This article is a little bit tongue in cheek how command line tools are 235 times faster than your Hadoop cluster, but I think it brings up an interesting use case where, you know, when you're in the multi gigabyte range, you know, opening two gigabytes in Excel or Google Sheets is not going to be a fun time and it's really not enough to really make use of, you know, big data tools like Hadoop, but so what are you left with? You can import into a database like a SQL or something like that, but that could be, you know, a bit of a hassle if you know I have one up and running already or you can do a pass with your command line tools. So when is Bash a good choice to use? When your data is line-based, all the core utilities understand lines really well. If you have multi-line data, like a stack trace or something, then probably Bash is not gonna be a good idea. Next is when you have a consistent structure. CSVs are a great example of that. I would also recommend it for things like server logs, but you have something like a hard structure, like a JSON or an XML, that would probably be easier to use like a tool specifically for that. First step in any kind of data analysis is to peek at your data, see what you're looking for. So head as a utility that will show you the first end lines of the file. If you're more familiar with SQL, it's kind of like a select star limit two. Tail is the opposite of that. It'll show you the last end lines of your file. So it's like an order by descending limit two. WC stands for word count, but here we're gonna pass the L option to count lines. WC can count a lot of different things. Lines, characters, words, probably characters and words are not the most relevant for our CSV file, but yeah, if you wanna write out a tweet ahead of time to make sure you're under the limit, it can be useful. So to recap from peeking at our population CSV file, we have a three column CSV, city, state, population. Looks like big cities at the top of the file, smaller cities at the bottom of the file, 761 cities in total. So let's say you have your file. Let's say you don't want all the lines in it. You're looking at specific lines. Grep is gonna be your tool for that. So that'll search for a string and return all the lines that match your string. You can use the dash V flag, kind of do the opposite to exclude lines that you don't wanna see. So you can see in this file, this is not the population of Honolulu City, it's the census designated place, the same thing with Anchorage and Lexington here, so that's kind of interesting to see. So now that we have the lines that we want, let's say we don't want everything within the line, we want certain things. We can use cut to chop up the lines in a consistent manner. So here, we're getting the first and the third column, so city and population, let's say I don't wanna see state. Cut gets really interesting when you can do multiple passes with it. So let's say at the top here, I have a server log, but I only want the time portion of it. We can do that with two passes of cut. So first, we're gonna chop up the line based off of space, and then we can do another pass that's chopping up the line based off of the colon character. So that way we can easily isolate the exact portion of the data that we want, but it's not an easily parsable format. Sort is one of those utilities where it does what it's named. By default, it works off of the whole line alphabetically, but in general, we don't wanna sort on the whole line. We can give it a key column to sort on. So in this example, we're sorting by state alphabetically. It gets more interesting when we can do multiple key columns. So we're able to do kind of like sort of advanced stuff on the command line here now. So here we're sorting by state alphabetically, and then we're sorting by population numerically, that's what the end there is for. So it treats it like a number, not a word. And then the R is for reverse, so it's gonna order descending. So you have the biggest cities at the top. Now we can chain things, even more things together. We can start to answer questions like what are the biggest cities by state? So we take the sort command that we did in the previous slide, and we can sort it again, giving it the U flag for unique. So what that will do, and we're giving it the state column as well. So it'll give us the unique output by state, essentially giving us the biggest cities by state here. Another question that we might have is how many cities per state? Yeah, how many cities per state are there? So we can get just the state column, that's the second one, and then we can use unique and the dash C flag to give us the count of how many times that state occurred. The important thing to note here is that unique expects sorted input. So try to think of sort and unique as a pair together because otherwise you will not get the output that you want. Yeah, so we can see, yeah, in this file, 178 cities are California, 65 are Texas, 25 are Michigan, which is, yeah, not what I was expecting, so that's cool to see. Another question that we can answer is where does Portland rank? So we can sort the file by population, and we can look for Portland. We can pass the N flag, and so that'll return us the line number that this occurred on. So we can see that Portland, Oregon is the 26th most populous city in our file, and Portland, Maine is the 537th most populous city. Eventually we'll probably have to do something with multiple files. So let's say I have a file that has a state FIPS code and a city name, and then I have state FIPS code and the state name. So if I have this data and I want to see city name and state name, how can I join them together? There's a join command that works pretty much exactly like how you expect a SQL join to work with. So it's useful when you have these type of identifier columns here. Another way to work with multiple files is paste. Paste is kind of weird in that it basically zips two files together, so if you don't have an ID column or something to join on, if you pass the dash S option, it'll transpose the rows and columns, it's generally only useful if you have like a very specific output format that you're looking for, but it's there. A good example of paste here is, let's say I wanted to add like a number to each line of this file. That's like a row number or something. Sequence is a command that basically prints out one item per line. So what we can do is basically zip out the output of sequence with our population CSV file. So our generated output is we have a number for each line now. Common is an interesting way to compare files. Com produces three columns of output. The first column are lines that are only in the first file. The second column are lines that are only in the second file. And the third column are lines that are in both files. So if you wanna do like type of like diffing operations. Common is also weird in that you tell it, you pass it a column and then it will not print out that output. So if you wanted only the first column of output, you would pass it two and three. Yeah, it's weird. In general, I find myself using most of the time this last one, com one two. So that's a, we'll only return the lines that are in both files. So kind of, yeah. So think of it like a Venn diagram type thing. We don't always get data in the format that we want. We'll have to do a little bit of cleanup. Set is a good option for that. Set is really powerful, but I find it best to do for these type of like simple like search and replace type operations. So yeah, we know in our file, we have city repeated a bunch of times. I don't want to see city anymore. We can search for space city and replace it with nothing. And that's what it'll do. TR is in kind of a niche command. It stands for translate. So you're, the way to think about it is you're translating one character set to another. So let's say I wanted to, the first example is translating space to new line characters.  TR also has the concept of character classes. So you can even do things like upper and lower casing on the command line.  So you can do that. And it also works with letters. I've done a lot of commands out. Let's go through an example. So throughout the stock I've used, yeah, this population CSV file. It's got nice three columns, pretty simple to easy to see what's going on. Where did I get it? So I did not download it directly from the American FactFinder website. I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that, but I did download all the raw data from the census. This is what I can download directly. It's a little bit hard to see what's going on. There's lots of great data in there, but let's say I don't want all of it. So first step, you'll see there's two header rows in this file, which is nice to see, I guess. So the first thing, let's get rid of those header lines. We can use tail for that. So this version of tail, I'm basically saying start at the third line and give me everything underneath that so we can get rid of that. Next, there's a lot of columns of output here. Let's only get the columns that we're looking for. And through trial and error, we can figure out that we want the ninth, the 10th, and the 19th column of output. So this is an important one because you'll see here that actually city and state are quoted field. So technically that would be one column of CSV input. In this case, Bash does not understand that really all that well. In this case, it kind of works out in that they're sort of the same, but yeah, if you have more advanced CSV data, you might have to do some interesting things with Bash to get it to work. So next, let's get rid of the quotes in our file. We can use said to do that to search for quote and replace it with nothing. We have the G at the end there because of the fact we have multiple occurrences of quotes. So by default, it'll only look at the first thing and then move on to the next line. So with the G, it'll search and replace throughout the whole line. Next, yeah, so we have a leading space in the state name now, let's clean up that. So we can do another pass with said and now we have our nice three column CSV file. We can save that to population CSV and we're all done. Kind of another fun example would be like the Shakespeare word count that you see in all the Hadoop examples. So we can download like Shakespeare.text which clocks it from Project Gutenberg. So that clocks in at about five megabytes, which is all that much. So and we can run a bunch of commands and kind of get a word count here. The interesting things here are that we use TR to delete everything that's not a number or a letter and a space. So this is using the idea of those like character classes. And then we can, so that's the first TR. The second TR will squeeze all the spaces together into one space. That's what, and so we're using the space character class because it deals with tabs, new lines, things like that. And then we turn everything into a new line character, all the spaces into new line characters. That way you get one word per line. Remember all the core utilities like working with lines. Then we lowercase everything, sort unique it, and this is the output we get. So we see kind of the what you would expect out of the most common occurring words. When we get down into the single digits, does it get interesting, you know, Fomans, Fomans? Yeah, so this is what we're able to do here. Thank you. Yeah, all the materials, all the CSV files and stuff and slides are at this GitHub repo. Feel free to ask me any questions on Twitter or in person here. So thank you. Thank you.


Yeah, it was great going to be able to connect with them and learn from them be able to kind of work side-by-side hear the different coaching points that they've learned throughout their career and just be able to use those Coaching points and tips just to apply here and give to the younger guys on the team Yeah, that's what you try to do is offense just have weapons all over and spread the ball around so I mean Not letting the defense key on one guy or one play specifically. So I think they'll just help us excel offensively Yeah, yeah, we'll see what happens with the how the game plan goes and where I'm at But yeah, I'm just trying to see where I fit in this offense and see where I can add value Yeah, I mean, I'm not totally sure right now I mean we're just kind of going through the whole playbook and Whatever we're seeing fit just throwing guys in and getting young guys work and just trying to get everyone up and running this camp Yeah, everybody's been working hard and having flashes of good plays and just kind of being able to show that they can be Dependable and reliable. So it's great to see all them working and being detent dependable out there Yeah, I think just taking advantage of your opportunities and making sure I mean Yeah, every play you're doing your job and Excelling at your job and just having those flashes of good plays just to show that you want to work hard and you want to effort and finish There's some rainbow always Stresses so that's a big component of it too. Yeah, put on like five pounds probably just to yeah Yeah, possibly that just yeah being able to come with sand throughout the longer season and Yeah, I mean going to my fifth camp. I mean, yeah Just being able to have a routine look at each day each meeting like one step at a time and just kind of Keep pushing forward and just know it's a long haul and just kind of getting those little victories every day Yeah, I don't think I did anything Extraordinary than any other guys who were working out this offseason I mean everyone was here trying to get better and trying to help the team. So yeah, I was thankful for the award But everyone was working hard No, nothing like that. Yeah, it was just kind of in a team meeting. Yeah Yeah, yeah right next to variable, so that's good Yeah, it's been great seeing him as a coordinator now I mean, yeah, he's got a lot of time around football had a lot of time with his team and Yeah, I'm excited to see how he adds to this offense and uses everything we got Yeah, definitely. I mean, he's involved in all the meetings now run game pass game I mean, that's kind of what he did as a tight end to so I mean he kind of knew the whole offense and knew how to best use Use our guys and use our skill set. So yeah, now he's just doing more and Using the coaches and players to the best of their abilities Yeah Yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, yeah, I gotta try to get there before him and leave after it might be hard but For the most part. Yeah, I haven't seen any issues yet Yeah, it's a little nerve-racking.  I think being able to use my hands and quickness to my advantage I'm a smaller frame guy. So there's some big deans out there But just be able to get into them quicker and be able to sustain longer Yeah, yeah, I think I've been improving. I mean, yeah, I've been here for three years now working under guys like Janu Delaney Stalker Pruitt so like all those veterans there and being able to learn from them on the film and in the meeting room and having Arthur and Todd just being able to help me along the way. So Yeah, I mean it's been a Yeah, I mean we've kind of grown every year trying to improve each areas and learn from our mistakes from the year before So we're just kind of keep tweaking everything and making sure we're as Yeah fishing as possible


Live from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering VTUG's New England Winter Warmer 2016. Now your host, Stu Miniman. Welcome back to theCUBE, live at Gillette Stadium here for the virtualization technology user group or VTUG at the 10th year of the show. It's our third year here with theCUBE. Happy to have on the program, if we've got Chris Williams, who's Cloud Architect with Chronos, and Sean Markham, who's Senior Systems Admin with IDEX Labs, and both of them are newly added as co-leaders for the VTUG. Guys, thanks for coming on the program. Your second time on the program, you were with me as a user last year and now you're both co-leaders, so we'll start and just give us a little bit of your background and what led to you becoming a co-leader. So background, a lot of the things that I do at work are virtualization using VMware, PowerShell, Scriptin, and AD, a bit of a jack of all trades in the infrastructure group. What brought me into the VTUG? I've been coming to these pretty much since the inception. I've known Chris Harney for several years and in an official or a non-official capacity, I've helped say, hey, maybe you guys ought to do this and so I think he finally just got tired of that and said, well, let's put a title on you and get more out of you. So now I'm on the spotlight now, I guess. All right, so Sean, right, you've known the Harneys and it just kind of got pulled in. Is it, those friends always tend to do, you got to get a little more, a little more and then you can grads. All right, Chris, how about tell us a little bit about your role, what's your company do and how'd you end up as a co-leader of this user group? Sure, so I work for Chronos Incorporated. They're the time management services software and so I'm a double VCAP. I've been working for them for a year and a half now and I've been coming to the VTUG events for years and Chris indicated that my enthusiasm for technology and my drive and my sociability were assets that he would like to bring on and so they graciously offered it to me and I accepted and so here I am. We have a lot of new ideas about things that we want to do with the VTUG. Great, love to, always when you've got these user groups, it's driven for the users and by the users.  So maybe, I'm back for us a little bit. You know, what do you see as the role of the user groups? What kind of things do you think need to change going forward and how do you promote and get more people to attend and participate? Yep, absolutely, so the user group is just that. It's a user group. It's not a couple of guys thinking of wouldn't it be cool if we did this and then having a bunch of people attend. So what we've been planning on doing is making this much more iterative, much more of a back and forth conversation with the users, survey monkeys, going out and making sure that the website is updated with much more relevant information other than just going to register for the events. Starting to set up a newsletter. And again, having the community talk to each other and us and have a single place for us to share all that information. Building the social network and getting the information out there that we have information for people. Yeah, so one of the things we were talking about, Chris, in the intro and we've been, you know, watching kind of the maturation last couple of years. I mean, the VTUG itself, you know, has gone from it's not just virtualization. Cloud is part of it.  You know, Sean, maybe start with you. You talked about, you know, you handle virtualizations kind of a lot of your day to day job. You know, what do you see? What are your peers asking for? You know, how ready are they to kind of, you know, move towards some of these technologies and, you know, give us some commentary on that. In my organization, we know it's there. We know it's common. We're trying to prepare for it, but it's a bit of a moving target right now. You know, if you asked five different people, what does DevOps mean to you? You probably have five different answers.  You know, DevOps isn't for your payroll system. It isn't for your exchange environment or your mail system. So, you know, the buzzwords at the office and that all of us as users are dealing with on a day-in-day basis, you know, trying to figure out which way to go. And I think a user group will help people share those ideas and make them a cohesive thing. Chris, you want to share your thoughts on kind of the discussion of those technologies and kind of people's readiness to understand them? So, I come from it from the completely opposite side. So, Kronos is a cloud company. We have a SaaS offering. And so, for us, DevOps is an integral piece of our environment. We create our own application. We have our cloud offering. And then, you know, everything in between is DevOps. So, for us, it's the thing that we're living and breathing every day. So, we're right in the middle of that step forward into the future. A lot of cool stuff happening over there. Stuff I can't talk about, so... Yeah, but I guess from an education standpoint. So, I would think, you know, boy, it would be interesting for you to present and where at least I'm sure you talked to your peers. You must get a lot of questions as to, you know, you've gone there before. I mean, I think back to the early days of virtualization, that was everybody was, you know, writing about it, talking about it, getting really excited about it. Do you see some of the, what's getting people excited these days, I guess? From my perspective, bridging the gap into that DevOps realm, learning about the programming stuff. I mean, we have a lot of VCPs, a couple of VCAPs and we are all learning how to bridge the gap into the application layer and how to start the automation pieces. Chris spoke about automation, huge for us, absolutely huge. Being able to crank out a ton of customers every day is the holy grail, and that's exactly the space that we're working in. Yeah, I guess, yeah, one of the concerns people always say is, oh, this thing like automation in the cloud, is that going to, you know, get rid of my job? So, you know, what are you guys here? You know, are people excited? Are they nervous? A little bit of both, you know, when it comes to some of this. I think it's a little bit of both. You know, looking at my environment, you know, we're concerned about the word cloud, but as we're getting into the cloud more and more, we're finding that, yeah, we don't have to worry about our jobs. You know, there's so much to do and so much to figure out, so much to explain and share, if anything, we're finding out that we're going to be the matriarchs or the people that are going to help our company go through the cloud process. Yeah, I mean, the thing I always look at is, if you talk to most people in IT and say, hey, if I could give you an extra hour in a day, do you have stuff to do? And they're like, oh my gosh, yes, the worry is, okay, what if I got rid of 90% of what you were doing? Do you have stuff to do? And most people I talk to are like, oh my gosh, yes. You know, that security project I was thinking about doing or, you know, these new applications that, you know, the business asked for. So, you know, is that what you see? It's kind of, you know, there's some shifting, but a lot of it is just the things that might not have been priorities, but take over what I was doing that, you know, automation and the like, and help me actually do the job that I was hoping to do. Oh, absolutely. That is the place that we're trying to get to. Once we've automated the entire stack as we're building it, that frees us up for the monitoring pieces, the DR pieces, the business continuity pieces. There's tons of stuff that get reprioritized based upon not having enough time because we're not automated enough. We're always looking for bright new people. We're on a massive hiring spree right now, so we're not worried about losing our jobs over this. All right, so Chris, you said you guys are doing DevOps. Question, I'm hoping to talk to more people about this year.  It's very nascent in our environment. There's a couple of different branches that do different life cycles. We have agile, we have waterfall. There's different timings for those different methodologies. And it's all in its initial stages right now. So it's stuff that we're all working on. Okay, but it sounds like you have some parts of the organization that are pushing on more, is it daily basis versus, you know, we're... No, no, not daily. Okay. I would say weekly, monthly. Yeah, but not the six to 12 months of certain things or patching. So I guess the same question for you is, what's your refresh cycle? What's your code?  Is it a weekly basis? You know, how does it refresh cycles? We're in a monthly cycle right now for patching and pushing things through the system. You know, my role is probably not so much DevOps. I mean, that's maybe that's why we are leaders because what Chris does in his company is different than what I'm doing in my company. I'm probably more at the corporate level. It's probably more of the corporate apps where you don't really DevOps those. I mean, the words are coming into us and we're infrastructure at our company. So we're the ops side of the dev. And we're in that crossover transition stage where the devs are trying to figure out how to interact with us and vice versa. So the whole food chain isn't there yet, but we know it's coming and trying to figure out how to make that happen. Okay, great. So last question I have for both of you is, are there things you guys are looking for from the users or takeaways you would want them to have either? Not just from this event, but in general for the VTUG? We need to learn to get better at communicating together. What's working? What's not working? What do you want to see more of? What are you seeing too much of? All of that stuff we need to get feedback for. So hence the surveys, the new information on the website, we just need more feedback to how are we doing? Yeah, and what do people want to see? I mean, it's user group, so we need to get out into the field and ask you to use what you want and then drive that, drive what we get from them. Okay, well great. Chris and Sean, congratulations again for being officially co-leaders of the VTUG. Thanks so much for joining us and definitely recommend everybody, get involved in your user groups, give that feedback. Please. Not saying that everybody needs to step up and be the leader, but it's a community effort. Talk to us. Lots of good opportunities. All right, we'll be here with lots more coverage. Stay tuned, the Cube at VTUG 2016. Thanks for watching.


Hi, I'm Dr. Lori Leslie. I'm a lymphoma attending at the John Thorough Cancer Center in Hackensack, New Jersey, where I run the Indolent Lymphoma and CLL research programs and also serve as medical co-director of oncology at Mountainside Medical Center. So here at the John Thorough Cancer Center, I focus on all types of lymphoma, Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and CLL. I'm also involved in the CAR-T cell research program. We've been able to be involved in a lot of studies that have led to FDA-approved agents in these groups of B-cell disorders over the last year. For example, in follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma, there's been at least three new drugs approved for these patients in the past nine months. One of them is umbralisib, which is a PI-3 kinase inhibitor approved for follicular and marginal zone lymphoma. We participated in the study that led to that approval here at JTCC. The other is CAR-T cell therapy in follicular lymphoma, Zuma-5. We enrolled patients on that at John Thorough Cancer Center as well. And the other is Tazamidostat, which is an EZH2 inhibitor that's approved now in follicular lymphoma as well. And many combination studies are ongoing that we have opened at the John Thorough Cancer Center. So it's really been rewarding to be part of that program and see all these new therapies. CAR-T cell therapy was first approved while I've been at John Thorough Cancer Center. It's been amazing to see that research translate into a way that not only do we have approval in acute leukemia now, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, most recently follicular lymphoma. And we are involved in many of those clinical trials that led to approval. We've got studies ongoing in solid tumors. Multimolyloma was recently approved. Marginal zone lymphoma, CLL. So really across the board, we're learning how to retrain an immune system to do its job, which is to recognize and eradicate abnormal cells. And over the past few years to decade, I would say the field has shifted such that we not only are treating cancer based on the organ it came from, but we're treating cancer based on the genetic changes that are making that cell abnormal. And the advances that have happened over the past few years have been more than happened in the past few decades. As we've gone forward through the pandemic and learned a lot about what drives infections, we've also learned a lot about what drives cancer. COVID-19 has been an interesting development in oncology. And I can say at the beginning, no one knew anything. But pretty early in the pandemic, we adjusted with safety protocols and understanding cancer doesn't wait, so patients need to have treatment. Now we've been able to restore our full clinical trial program. Our cellular therapy program was never halted, so we were able to proceed throughout the pandemic. Our research has continued, and we've been able to be in some of these amazing groundbreaking studies that have led to new options for our patients.


I think that the platform, all the deliveries, now it's about 20% of revenue and the lower it is, the better. Yeah, the fees are too high. The fees are not favorable. Yes. And actually, a lot of people seem that ordering from platforms, they seem that we're not paying in commissions. Yeah, there is, as the customer don't know, you know, that's. Tell us, tell everyone, tell everyone the realities of this, because I've been saying this forever. I'm like, restaurants are not making money on this, on these, on some of these dishes and stuff. I would say 95% of platforms, they charge us 25 to 33% of all the sales. From the net sales. So let's say you buy something for $10, you're paying the platform $3.30, right? Yeah. And that's it. And the customer is already paying a delivery fee. And sometimes I think it's another fees, something another fee. So for sure, you have to have them, I believe. I mean, because we're still new, so we want to, you know, I don't think it's completely bad to have them. But for sure, the more the customer reach out directly to us, the better. And, you know, we have their name, we write, we do personal thank you cards that we write every night. And so when the customer reach out to us, it's very personal. We have a lot of repeated customer already. So. I know some cities, I know here in West Hollywood, basically the WeHo, the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is effectively having all of these delivery, delivery apps, and they're passing legislation like rules that restrict the amount of fees that each of these delivery apps or pickup apps or just order apps can can charge the restaurant. And what's nice that I've seen here in West Hollywood is some of the restaurants are getting together and not allowing any delivery apps on like and like basically imagine 30 restaurants saying we're not going to be on any apps. And so what happens is people like me, we're looking for it, we don't see it. Then we go to their Instagram, and they're all like, yeah, we're not on the apps, please come support us and here's why. And they're telling everybody like the dollar amounts. And I just think that education is super important because it's hard to survive as a business already.


From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar Inspector her nigger of the Zurich police her dollar. Oh, yeah inspector. I talked to one of your men last night Yeah, when you report the murder of this man called Sebastian. Yeah, any line on this killer not as yet We are somewhat at a loss as to motive that I think I can supply Sebastian apparently had information about the robbery of some uncut diamonds here in Zurich Yeah, and he was willing to sell his information, but somebody called off the sale permanently So find the man who lifted the stones and we'll have Sebastian's killer. Perhaps. He don't sound convinced Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. There's truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the home office global casualty Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the picture postcard matter Location Zurich, Switzerland expense account continued Item six one dollar even cab there from the Polo hotel to police headquarters Inspector her nigger was a big man who moved and talked slowly But one look at his very cold slate gray eyes told you his brain was moving a lot faster I believe you told my lieutenant last evening that you were an insurance investigator That's right inspector and that you are in Zurich to investigate the loss of a hundred thousand American dollars in diamonds at the airport a few days ago right Well, perhaps you had better supply me with such background as you may have gladly The robbery itself of course you know about a fight broke out at the airport We know that it was as you say rigged to create confusion Yeah, and in the confusion the courier who was carrying the stones was slugged his briefcase was cut away from his wrist We're upon the assailants quickly melted away into the crowd The exactness of their timing suggests that they were well organized and had planned a robbery in some detail the next day The company I'm representing got a letter from this man Sebastian He claimed to have information on the robbery and will help us recover the stones for a price and you will send to contact The Sebastian yeah, I'll rather I was sent here so that Sebastian could contact me and did he he did But as it turned out he practically had to stand in line. I am afraid I do not follow you Well first off a very attractive young lady popped into my cab as I was leaving the airport for the hotel I asked to share the cab or two blocks later. She had the driver stop planted a kiss on me and jumped out Indeed you Americans seem to work fast here dollar Afraid I can't chalk up the incident to my personal charm inspector She left her purse in the cab and I gather the idea was to make somebody else think she'd pass the diamonds to me And who would this somebody else be a guy who jumped me in the lobby of the puller hotel He was pretty convinced I had the stones and how would the dead men Sebastian fitting Well, it's my hunch Sebastian was a member of the outfit who stole them in the first place He could have been trying to play both ends against the middle. How do you arrive at that conclusion? Well, look, we know there were several members of the group Okay, so they're bound to take a big loss when they fence the diamonds They'd be lucky to get half the value which would be 50,000 through split three or four ways that would cut the shares down considerably But if Sebastian could engineer the return of the stones and collect a $25,000 reward for it. He'd be way ahead of the game and Sebastian was secretly negotiating with you Yeah behind a newspaper in the hotel lobby. He wanted me to meet him in his room later so we could talk I went there. I found him in the bathtub dead and he had given you no specific information as to the location of the diamonds Only this inspector A picture postcard. Uh-huh the Kleibach Inn. He told me Kleibach was a small resort village up in the Alps I know the place The cart is addressed to Sebastian And signed by if Gruner. He said Gruner was a friend of his perhaps the diamonds are at the Kleibach Inn He said no that this card was only part of the key to finding them and he gave you no Indication as to what the rest of the key to their location was no none at all. I Gathered that's what we were going to talk about in his room later, but somebody else apparently had different idea Say look you you said over the phone that Sebastian's killer could have been a woman Well, he was struck on the head from behind but only hard enough to stun him his death was due to drowning in the bathtub Many times in our experience women have chosen such a method the woman then Could be Ilsa. Yeah Or perhaps one of Sebastian's gang who learned of his plans very annoying air dollar many possibilities for nothing tangible Well, I'm heading for that place on the postcard inspector the Kleibach Inn. Yeah at this point part of a key is better than none Expense account item seven sixteen dollars and twenty cents American transportation and incidentals to the Kleibach Inn The postcard didn't do justice to the place the village nestled in a little meadow below some towering peaks. Oh Above it was the inn a shale type building that looked out over the valley And it was a peaceful scene a few cows in the meadow with jangling bells a lot of snow on the peaks a sky of startingly clear blue and a few wisps of clouds nudging the peaks Inside the inn looks spacious and comfortable with a friendly fire crackling in the huge fireplace and a friendly looking fellow behind the desk Welcome to the Kleibach Inn. Well, thanks, please sign here. Okay Thank you her dollar is it. Yeah, you the manager. Yeah, I am out of freedom your host Well, maybe you could help me out. Oh, I am at your service. All right. Take a look at this postcard What's the matter? That is not the good picture of the inn. I had some new ones made You see the lighting is wrong in this picture the entire north wing is in the shadows now in the good Yeah, yeah, well what I want to know is do you sell these cards here? Not those cards. No, I have the new cards See here's one see how much better. How about in the village? Do they sell the old cards there? Yeah, I'm afraid so in one or two shops. I have told them a hundred times I will give them the new ones if only yeah, you see it. Yes, it's the lighting You ever hear the name Sebastian around here? Sebastian Sebastian's best you know no need to memorize it. Just tell me if you've heard it, please Is it the first name or last name there you've got Sebastian? No, I do not remember hearing that name. I'll be glad to check my register How about F. Gruner? He's the one who sent the card to Sebastian. Gruner Perhaps I heard the name in the village somewhere or I will see what I can find out Okay, thanks. In the meantime, I hope you'll be comfortable here and enjoy your visit ski equipment to set your disposal Thanks, but I'll enjoy my visit a lot more if I can find F. Gruner Okay, okay coming. Oh, I say I'm looking for a chap named doll. I was supposed to be occupying this room I'm Johnny Donner. You? You're certain? Reasonably what? What a pity. Well, I'm sorry old man, but there's not very much I can do about it Oh, I didn't mean to I say you must forgive me must I well, I mean Well, you see I used to know a chap in London named dollar delightful fellow rarely Incidentally, I'm Jeffrey Harris. We had ripping times together not jolly for you And when I heard that a chap named dollar had registered here at the inn Well, naturally, I thought it must be old bunny bunny. Yes old bunny dollar Oh, bunny was just a nickname. You see well, that's reassuring Harris. You know, there is a bit of a resemblance You wouldn't mind a chance be his brother or cousin would you know well after all dollars a bit of an odd name And I know I'm sorry if you'll excuse me.

Oh, man Wow Hello, Wilson It is Ilse Schaefer isn't why you're the one Johnny dollar the one you shared a cab with back in Surrey. Yes, of course What a coincidence Isn't it? Incidentally Johnny, I want to thank you for turning my person. It was foolish of me to leave it in your cab Just an oversight, huh? Well, yes, of course. I mean you didn't buy any chance to leave it in the cab on purpose Oh, of course not. Why would I do a thing like that?  Oh, I didn't object to that But I did object to a muscle man jumping me and acting like you had given me something What was I supposed to have given you? You don't have any idea? No, honestly, I don't Okay, we'll let that ride for the time being Mind if I ask what you're doing here at the club again. Oh, this is a favorite spot of mine. I like to ski Oh You don't seem convinced. I really am quite a good skier Johnny. Are you in the matter of fact? I plan to go skiing in the morning Would you like to come with me? Well, that might be pretty interesting Just a minute. I'll go check with Otto see if I can borrow some skis be right back. All right, Johnny I'm enjoying your stay so far just fine out of fine. I look about that girl over at the bar File and she for our most attractive young lady. No, I'm most attractive young lady. Yes This seems to be a favorite spot of hers. I'm very happy to hear that her dollar. I suppose she comes here often Huh, this is her first visit to the Klaibach Inn You're sure about that. Of course. I would certainly remember a young lady like her Yes, this is her first visit, but I hope it will not be her last don't count on it So Elsa was lying about coming here often It could mean she'd lied about a few other things too like leaving her purse in my cab accidentally She might have been trying to make it look like she'd passed the stolen diamonds on to me And let's take the heat off herself and whoever she was working with I Remembered what inspector Hanneger had told me that Sebastian's killer could be a woman. I went back to the bar Did you arrange for the skis? Yeah? Yeah, I guess I'm all set good tomorrow morning, then I wear Well, I had in mind the North slope, but Perhaps you would not like that. Why not? Some people consider it too dangerous. Oh I don't think I should worry about the danger to you After all Elsa, I'll be in the best of hands. Thank you. I'm sure you'll take good care of me I will certainly try to Johnny. Oh Here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story tomorrow Well skiing is a strenuous sport.  Won't you yours truly? Johnny dollar first truly Johnny dollars starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood Written by Robert Reif it is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone Be sure to join us tomorrow night same time and station for the next exciting episode of yours truly Johnny dollar Roy Rowan speaking


Spell it out to yourself and act upon that. When something like Bulwama happens, I think initially we have a lot of outrage against it and gradually from being victims we start feeling guilty or an oppressor and a lot of complexities come in and it seems a very fuzzy view after that and a nation feels very confused what should be their reaction to terror. Say, the problem is right now, you're referring to… we're taking Bulwama as an example, you're calling this terror, but I want you to understand this, this is a planned agenda. This is not terror as far as they are concerned. They are trying to fulfill their goals in a very planned way. They did not even keep it a secret, they told you we will bleed you with a thousand cuts. So it is not terror, it is an agenda that they are fulfilling.  So they are doing what they believe is the right thing to do. Now, from your standpoint, are you doing the right thing that is good for this nation is something you must decide. There is no need to get excited about this, there is no need to… you just get some satisfaction by labeling somebody a terrorist.   Spell it out to yourself and act upon that. But what is it? Well, for over a century we fought for the independence of this nation. To make this nation free, we worked for over a century. A lot of life was sacrificed. Due to lack of vision, we sacrificed many more after we got our independence in the name of partition. Now with one partition you have seen a million people over a million people dead and over fifteen million people crossing borders from both sides, suffering… human suffering is human suffering for me. It doesn't matter which side is happened. So people have suffered and in seventy years still a whole lot of them are still not even settled on both sides of the border. And how is it that we have such a short sense of memory that we can once again talk of another break. So we must decide this. In my heart is very clear. Just one thing is make it clear to all the Indians what is India and what is not India. Please do this. Don't keep the ambiguity continuing forever. Just one hundred percent this is our country, this is not our country. Let us focus on what we do, need to do for the well-being of these people. Rather than going on endlessly debating where is the border, how long will you debate? Two generations of people are gone after independence and still you're debating the same thing. This is the time. If nation's consciousness in somehow awakened because of a shocking incident, please make up your mind now and work for that goal because the sovereignty of the nation is important. For me within my heart, well we have… it would be fantastic if we lived here as global citizens and we're capable of embracing each other and living here wonderfully, that would be fantastic. But we have not come there. Only nation is the largest human entity you can address. If you want to address human well-being, you can only address it as a nation. You cannot address it as a globe. We don't have the mechanics to do such a thing. So this nation over 1.3 billion people is a world by itself. So if we want to take these people towards fulfillment of their lives, in this generation the most important thing is we decide in terms of geography what is our nation, what is not our nation and what do we stand for, for this. So protecting this is our business and our duty. Unfortunately if cruel things happen, they happen, it is not our intent. I am not even talking about retribution, revenge, no, this is not our nature. But solution for this nation is important, that people of this nation can prosper is an important duty that the leaders of this nation owe to every citizen in this country. For that it is very important that our borders are quiet because the service and sacrifice of our soldiers is the basis.  For all this the basic foundation is the stable situation in the country. If we don't create that, we are failing in our fundamental duty, we are not being peaceful, we are just being naive.


You will complete an interpersonal communication survey. A survey is a list of questions. We use surveys to ask people about their opinions or behavior. For example, we could ask everyone in our class, do you like coffee? Yes or no? Then we would find out that 73% of our classmates like coffee and 27% of our classmates do not like coffee. Our survey is not about coffee. It's about interpersonal communication. The survey will ask you to tell how often you do something. For example, how often do you smile when you talk to other people? You will answer by choosing one of these words. Always, usually, sometimes, rarely, never. For example, you can choose I never smile when I talk to people. The words always, usually, sometimes, rarely, and never are adverbs of frequency. That means they tell us how often we do something. If we always do something, we do it 100% of the time. If we usually do something, we do it 90% of the time or more. If we sometimes do something, we do it about 50% of the time. Maybe more, maybe less. If we rarely do something, we only do it 10% of the time or less. If we never do something, we do it 0% of the time. Notice that adverbs of frequency go before the verb. Of course, the B verb is always different. Adverbs of frequency go after the B verb in English. For example, I am usually polite. So when you take your interpersonal communication survey, you will tell us how often you do or don't do something. Don't worry. This survey is anonymous. Anonymous is a big word, but it has an easy meaning. It means no name. When you answer the survey, it is a secret. No one will know what your answer is. So don't worry when you take the survey. Be honest.
