It's a huge problem.  Go home to mommy bing bing I just wanted to give a quick disclaimer before getting into this video for whatever reason the first two minutes or so My mic didn't record so the first two minutes of this video are gonna be kind of poor Audio quality. Sorry if that bothers some of you guys and let's get into the video Today, I'm feeling a really weird mix of excitement and pure terror And I'm sure from the title of this video you guys can all understand why I'm feeling that way today's video is the very first Video of an in-depth series that I'm starting on my channel that I'm really excited to bring out in this series I'm gonna do deep dives on two different public figures and the scans that they participated in before we get into it today's Comment in this video is my mind just doesn't have the power to understand a toxic shower What can this concept even mean? I thought a shower would keep me clean Is there a shampoo filled with soil or shower gel made of crude oil of such things? I'd have never heard the whole idea just sounds absurd Also, since I forgot to say this in the video if you enjoy deep dives and like to analyze Don't forget to subscribe and if you like this video, don't forget to like this video It helps push the video out to more unique viewers like yourself So today we are doing a deep dive into the scans that Donald Trump has participated in as well as some of the really shady business dealings a ton of you guys requested that I do this video and After researching I can definitely understand why I will be leaving politics out of this video Not because I don't have a stance on politics But because I think Donald Trump's business dealings and scams that he's participated in or alleged scams Considering Trump likes to sue I think those can speak for themselves without even adding the political element And I also think it's important to understand those completely apart from politics no matter where you stand on the political spectrum I think we can all find something valuable from this video That being said I do understand that this video is on a prominent political figure So if this video hurts your feelings, I am so sorry.  I'm sorry. Sometimes I can be a sarcastic bitch Whoever you think would be interesting to do this type of video definitely leave it in the comments and let's get into it In order to fully understand Donald Trump's scams and shady businesses I think it's important to understand his history a little bit So I'll explain it super briefly in case you didn't know some aspects of it Donald Trump was born and raised in Queens and attended the Fordham, right? Yeah, Fordham University for two years. Trump received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of Pennsylvania, his father Frederick Christ Trump was a prominent real estate developer in New York City. In 1971 Donald Trump became the president of his father's real estate business renamed it the Trump Organization and tried to expand Operations getting into mainly casinos and from what it seems like Rentals apartments and condos high-end luxury rentals Trump also started various side ventures or side hustles Mainly through licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015 and also as most of you guys know he Produced and was the host of the reality TV show The Apprentice In April of 2020 Forbes estimated Trump's worth to be around 2.1 billion and as we know Forbes has never gotten anything wrong, especially when it comes to someone's net worth. They've never gotten a single thing wrong We can always trust them with any sort of estimate that they give of course Most of us know about Trump's presidency and are currently living through it and its consequences But that's not what this video is about. So let's get into the shady businesses and alleged scams that Trump participated in and how though Trump's entire brand or persona or Prestige is built around him being an excellent business man But in reality that might not be the case at all I found the best way to do this video is kind of in a timeline format where I just kind of go off of the timeline Throughout all of his business deals though some of these deals or practices or scams Took place over a long period of time. So we'll work with it bear with me as we go through this I also wanted to mention a Recent thing that came out about Trump and his tax records A New York Times article came out about the president's taxes titled long concealed records show Trump's chronic losses and years of tax avoidance Most of us know from this article that he really only paid $750 in taxes the times obtained Donald Trump's tax information extending over more than two decades revealing struggling properties Fast write-offs and audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency in his first year in the White House He paid another $750 he had paid no income taxes at all in ten of the previous 15 years Largely because he reported losing much more money than he may even while declaring losses He has managed to enjoy a lavish lifestyle by taking tax deductions on what most people would consider personal expenses Including residences aircraft and $70,000 in hairstyling for television And there's also some other suspicious activity in the article that this tick tocker pointed out For example planning to turn a historical estate into a golf course Declaring a property an investment property when it wasn't exactly writing off personal legal expenses as business legal expenses and paying Ivanka Trump as a consultant When really this doesn't seem to be the case Ivanka Trump while working as an employee of the Trump organization appears to have received Consulting fees that also helped reduce the family's tax bill as president He has received more money from foreign sources and US interest groups than previously known first on our timeline of Trump's shady business dealings was in 1973 when the Department of Justice sued Trump and his father the Department of Justice sued Trump and his father for Housing discrimination at around 39 different sites in New York It was reported that Trump management had refused to rent or even Negotiate rentals due to someone's race or the color of their skin when the black testers came They were shown they they may have been shown apartments, but we're told nothing was available Whereas when the white testers came yes, there were things that were available That would be the norm and if the Trumps did rent to a black person Goldweber recalls They would do so only at one building in Brooklyn Reserving the other buildings for white tenants in response to this suit The Trumps hired their own attorney and tried to sue the Justice Department for a hundred million in a countersuit But in the end this was not entirely successful And they ended up settling the case and promising to no longer discriminate another really interesting thing about Trump is his possible alleged mafia ties from 1970 and beyond over the years Trump has been continually linked to the mafia most of the connections found are just kind of interactions with known mobsters which isn't entirely uncommon for someone in the Casino and construction businesses the GOP presidential nominee sometimes dealt with people connected to organized crime in His Atlantic City and New York real estate work and though Trump claims that many of these connections were unbeknownst to him Many don't believe that and many believe that at least back in the day He had some involvement with the mob back in 1980 when Trump launched his first casino here Some of his business partners worked for the mafia The picture in New York was no better For example, Khan Trump's lawyer or Cohn not entirely sure how it's pronounced Also represented the Genovese crime families boss Tony Salerno There's also been reports of other shady activities surrounding Trump in the mob Like Trump paying twice the market rate to a mob figure for land underneath Trump Plaza in Atlantic City For a person whose entire career is in real estate to pay twice the market rate for something I can only think of two reasons why either a they are really bad at what they do and they're a really bad business man Or be there's something shady going on Trump has also been reportedly very close with Robert Lee Booty an associate of John Gotti Donald Trump says he didn't know mob figure Robert LaBuddy But recently resurfaced video seems to tell a different story footage from a professional wrestling event in 1988 Shows Trump sitting next to LaBuddy Trump invited LaBuddy on his yacht and his helicopter at various points and weirdest of all Trump's company even bought LaBuddy nine luxury cars Trump bought someone who has a known connection with the mob nine luxury cars Of course, it's important to note that Trump has not been charged with anything in regards to these ties And I think most of us will never fully know the extent of his connections with the mob another shady thing that Trump participated in is having Undocumented Polish workers on a real estate project in 1980. Is it accurate to say that Trump Tower The construction of it began on the backs of Polish workers who are unpaid No, absolutely in order to build the famous or infamous Trump Tower All the builders had to demolish the Bonwit teller store Which was a beloved Art Deco building in New York City tearing down the Bonwit building had to be done fast So in order to tear down the Bonwit building quickly 200 Undocumented Polish workers were hired to do the project the workers were treated terribly getting paid $5 an hour if anything to do back-breaking work and when the workers complained They were allegedly threatened with deportation in 1991 a federal judge found Trump and others guilty of conspiring to avoid paying Union pension and welfare for the Undocumented workers Daniel Sullivan a labor relations consultant who had been convicted of tax evasion Testified that during the demolition Trump himself knew he was using illegal workers on the site There's no question in my mind. I mean he said it to me the decision was appealed and ultimately settled privately in 1999 the next shady thing that Trump was found to be doing was intimidating tenants from 1981 to 1986 in 1981 Trump bought an older building in South Central Park He claimed that the existing structure was a complete dump But that the land itself would be a great place to build luxury condos The thing is the tenants who were already living in that dump Didn't want to move just so that their residents could be torn down and a luxury condo building could be built You know one that they couldn't afford There is one thing Donald Trump has not been able to control the tenants who live in this building at 100 Central Park South A building Trump bought a few years back. It's filled with rent-controlled apartments Occupied by tenants who are now angry because they say that Trump is trying to get them out by hookah crook Like most developers he wants to evict the tenants so he can build expensive new apartments and charge a bundle for them And like most developers he's having trouble doing so Trump tried to Intimidate the tenants as much as possible to get them to leave he threatened eviction He cut off their heat and water building management refused to make repairs and tenants even claimed in court That mushrooms grew on their carpet from a leak To do He's a very arrogant human being who really doesn't care about the lives of people like you see in this room here He bought the building knowing exactly what this building was earning and exactly what the status of the building was and yet now Donald would like to wipe out the rent control rent stabilization laws with one snap of his own Golden fingers and that's not the way this world works Almost nobody believes that you're gonna be able to get those tenants out of there This is a fight that's gonna go on and on and on could be could be we'll see what happens Trump even had newspaper ads put all over the city that offered to house the homeless in the empty units Which would be a great philanthropic effort if it was something that he actually intended to do But in his book the art of the deal He claimed himself that he never even attended to house anyone in that building in the first place Trump also sued tenants for ten million dollars if they complained just seems honestly like such an Evil thing to do if I'm being honest in my opinion to buy a property yet And to do all of these mean things and every mean thing you can possibly do to kick people out of their own homes That's just my opinion. But yeah, eventually though Trump actually lost this battle once again What a great deal maker right much artful of a deal very artful deal much dealing very business and believe it or not this dump of a building still stands today Trump has also been fined for breaking casino rules on various occasions in 1990 when Trump was having trouble with one of his casinos the Trump Taj Mahal Trump's father went into the casino and bought 700 chips which were worth 3.5 million dollars the purchase helped the Trump Taj Mahal pay off a lot of its debts Though eventually it still went bankrupt But Fred never used those chips and had absolutely no plans of gambling with those 700 chips So because of this the New Jersey Gaming Commission ruled that this entire instance was a loan that violated operating rules New Jersey also fined Trump $200,000 for arranging to keep black employees away from his friend Robert LaBuddy's gaming table Yes, once again Robert LaBuddy who has connections to the mob Trump arranged to keep black employees away from his table I'm noticing a lot of disturbing patterns here on top of this in 1991 The Casino Control Commission fined a Trump 450 thousand dollars for the nine luxury cars that he bought LaBuddy as mentioned earlier in 2000 Trump was fined $50,000 for lobbying to try and prevent an Indian casino from opening up and competing with his casinos Next let's discuss the four bankruptcies. I declare bankruptcy that Trump's companies went through in 1991 1992 2004 and 2009 in the late 1980s Trump used junk bonds to build his Trump Taj Mahal Casino huge amounts of money were invested in the building of the Taj Hundreds of millions of dollars, but Trump felt that he could complete the property He promised the Casino Control Commission. He's got all kinds of lines to the banks Major banks one major bank. They loved it the money in my lap. Obviously, that's not exactly the way it turns He winds up relying totally on junk bonds. A junk bond is so lowly rated that there's a high Probability that you're not going to get your money back There were six hundred and seventy five million issued and a lot of the bonds were owned by small individuals so little guys Who weren't wealthy actually had a stake in that project But Trump couldn't keep up with all of the high and increasing interest payments So in 1991 his company declared bankruptcy because of this he had to sell his yacht His airline it became clear that the Trump shuttle would not grow as an airline Trump fired 100 employees Just 18 months after the Trump shuttle launched the airline had already lost 128 million dollars And half of his ownership of the casino only a year later another one of Trump's casinos the Trump Plaza Lost 550 million dollars and also declared bankruptcy and Trump gave up his stake in the casino But by the time all was said and done Trump had 900 million dollars in personal debt by 2004 Trump hotels and casino resorts Weird name was 1.8 billion dollars in debt The company filed for bankruptcy and emerged as Trump entertainment resorts Trump himself was the chairman of the new company but had absolutely no controlling stake in it Five years later after the real estate collapse once again Trump entertainment resorts went bankrupt and Trump completely resigned from the board Trump claims that all of these bankruptcies are just the name of the game. It's how business is done You used the laws of the country the laws of the land and I did you're supposed to spend money to make money, right? And business is just all about constantly losing money. That's the point of it, right? You know, you're doing something right when you're losing millions That should be a new title for a book There you go If you're going bankrupt, you're doing something right whenever one of trumpiny Trumpanies, oh my gosh I also think it's an interesting pattern that time and time again whenever one of trump's companies goes bankrupt He's always the one that's kicked out or that loses any sort of controlling stake in the company I don't think you would lose controlling stake of a company for no reason After bankruptcy unless you were the cause of the bankruptcy You know I have never gone bankrupt, by the way. I have never but out of hundreds of deals But sir, that's your mind, but the your company has gone bankrupt out of hunt. What am I saying? He's right to say as he does on the campaign trail now that he did not personally go bankrupt But that's only because he was too big to go bankrupt The banks had to keep him alive and breathing and since then he's become a wealthy man by selling the name That was based on failed projects the real things that he built Where are they? So next i'm going to talk about the trump foundation though This is something that kind of spans the entire timeline from 1988 Up till semi present day The trump foundation has been one of the most controversial parts of trump or one of the most aggravating parts for a lot of people and obviously the trump foundation is the trump family's charity foundation Don't think there needed to be an explanation there, but just in case there needed to be The interesting thing that I think is important to clarify is much of the money that comes through the foundation Doesn't come from trump himself trump structured the charity as almost a pass through The charity would go out and solicit donations from other people and then give those donations away to a charity As if it was coming from trump himself In a few cases the foundation also reported making donations that it didn't make at all And one of the weirdest donations that the trump foundation made was a $25,000 donation that it made To a group that supported the florida attorney general pan bondy days after this somehow Coincidentally Pam bondy completely squashed an investigation that was going on into trump university and the trump institute Two very shady companies that trump participated in which we'll get into There was also many reports of trump using the charity money for his own personal gain And it seemed like the foundation had broken irs rules on self-dealing because of this the foundation went under Investigation by the new york attorney general. I believe when it first went under investigation was in the year 2017 and in 2018 the new york attorney general eric schneidermann sued the president all three of his children and the donald j trump Foundation and claimed that the charity was functioning as little more than just a personal checkbook for donald trump To serve his own business and political interests new york attorney general has filed a lawsuit against donald j j trump Rather foundation and its board of directors alleging quote extensive and persistent violations of state and federal law So what this lawsuit is basically saying is that you cannot use a charitable foundation Uh as your own personal piggy bank or your own personal slush fund The allegations on the suit claimed that $10,000 was spent on a portrait of the president $100,000 was used to settle a legal dispute with palm beach $258,000 was used to settle lawsuits against trump himself and his businesses And $5,000 was used to advertise trump and his hotels the attorney general also accused the foundation of violating campaign finance laws by coordinating with the trump campaign And on top of all of this the board of the foundation itself has never even held an official meeting Sounds super legit The charity was ordered to be shut down immediately and trump was asked by a judge to pay $2 million to actual actual Legit charities trump tried to make this $2 million donation sound like a voluntary donation And the trump foundation itself claimed that it was pleased to donate an additional 2 million to worthy organizations Just a really weird way of phrasing We are not a legit foundation and we had to pay money because we were found to not be legit Yeah, all in the name of charity, right and that brings us to the next alleged scam trump university which took place from 2005 to 2010 At trump university we teach success. That's what it's all about success. It's going to happen to you in 2005 trump announced a University to teach all of his real estate secrets to people just like you and me Students paid as much as $35,000 For a university that was not accredited and not legit in any way We started looking at trump university And uh discovered that it was a classic bait and switch game. It was a scam Students would be suckered into paying for this university After attending a free seminar to learn how to get rich You must be very aggressive one passage from the playbook reads If they complain about the price remind them that trump is the best a set of playbooks for the sales team Coach them on how to market the courses Even to single mothers with three children who quote may need money for food Money instructed the playbook is never a reason for not enrolling in trump university If they really believe in you and your product, they will find the money ads from the university promise that students would learn from donald trump's hand-picked Instructors and learn all of donald trump's real estate secrets If you don't learn from the people that we're going to be putting forward and these are all people that are hand-picked by me Then you're just not going to make it in terms of the world of success when in reality trump had almost nothing to do With the curriculum or the instructors many students have come out and spoken out about how trump university was just a total scam And drained them of a lot of money and resources.  I felt like I've been poisoned I just feel like I was just duped and poisoned and ripped off It wasn't even a university by any definition of the word in 2010 the school finally shut down And in 2016 trump agreed to pay 25 million in a series of settlements from students who went to the school before that trump tried his best to intimidate the plaintiffs his former students By countersuing them But that didn't work. He also tried to claim that the judge was biased because of his ethnicity I have a judge who is a hater of donald trump a hater he's a hater his name is Gonzalo curio And he is not doing the right thing the judge who happens to be we believe mexican, which is great I think that's fine. You're invoking his race when talking about whether or not he can do his job jack I'm building a wall. Okay. I'm building a wall I'm trying to keep business out of mexico. Mexico is fine. There's nothing but he's america. He's american He's a mexican heritage Which is an interesting argument to make at a similar time in 2005 the trump institute also opened up trump university and the trump institute to competing academic Institutes interesting you'd think if you cared so much about education You would just start one thing that was like all of the education in one place You wouldn't start two completely different programs But I don't think education was really trump's utmost concern And that's because trump was also not involved whatsoever with trump institute instead He franchised his name to iran and mike millen who were serial operators of get rich quick schemes Though he only licensed his name trump also appeared in infomercials for the trump institute Once again claiming that he himself handpicked instructors course materials for the trump institute contained plagiarized Textbooks fortunately the millens declared bankruptcy in 2008 mainly through the investigations and lawsuits related to the trump institute But the trump institute continued on and a trump aide claimed that trump was unaware of the plagiarism But still stood by the curriculum of trump institute next up from 2006 to 2009 trump sued a new york times reporter tim o' brian for libel in 2005 of new york times reporter tim o' brian published the book trump nation Where he reported that basically trump was lying about his net worth and was really only actually worth 150 to 250 million As opposed to the billions that he claims we litigated uh, he sued me for the book and um during the course of a deposition In that case we produced um audits from his own bankers that estimated that his wealth was uh Less than a tenth of what he said it was at the time. He never puts out what what he owes What his debts are he puts out inflated estimate estimates of what his assets are worth But he keeps all of his debts behind the scenes because of tim o' brian's book That claimed that trump was not a billionaire trump ended up suing tim o' brian for five billion dollars, which is One way to become a billionaire. I guess Trump did not end up winning but had recently said in an interview with the washington post editorial board That he intends to make it easier for people to sue for libel I wonder why in the mid 2000s trump was also involved with a concept called condo hotels condo hotels are basically a really strange business venture Where people would buy condos and only use them for part of the year And then when they weren't using the condos the rooms would basically be rented out as a hotel And then the developer and the condo owner would split in the profits from the hotel stays condo hotels turned out to be a terrible business idea and resulted in a lot of the condo owners suing trump claims that he didn't really have any involvement with the business and instead just kind of attached his name to it For the clout of the trump name But that was kind of the reason why a lot of people joined in on this new business venture And it turns out the people that trump ended up getting involved with were kind of super shady some even having a criminal record So a lot of people ended up getting scammed from this in 2016 in fec filings It was found that trump bought a lot of his own books You know his own books that he wrote and made Through trump campaign money. He spent more than 55 thousand dollars Buying his own book crippled america how to make america great again So basically he used donor money to purchase a lot of his own books And of course what is a scammer to do but involve themselves in mlms surprise surprise Yes trump and the trump family Was involved in mlms in a complaint filed in october of 2018 The trumps were accused of misleading victims into becoming salespeople for an mlm called a cn businessman donald trump endorsed products and companies One such company is called a cn which sold long distance phone services and video phones I've been working with a cn for a few years now Since that time i've developed a great relationship with a cn and the more i learn about them the more i like and respect them I see incredible potential of the things they're doing now trump even featured the company on his show a celebrity apprentice ACN is described as a multi-level marketing firm Which means you buy in for 499 dollars recruit others to buy in and sell and you get a percentage of their income Trump started endorsing the company some 10 years ago the multi-level marketing company acn charges 499 dollars to have the business opportunity Of becoming a salesperson and selling things like telephones for them According to plaintiffs the trump family conned them into thinking that this was a legitimate business opportunity By saying that donald trump thought there was potential with this You don't really know what you're getting into when you're going into lord in part by the trump name Now he wishes he hadn't he says he eventually lost $50,000 that mid-six figure income. He was led to believe would be his never materialized The real scheme of all of this allegedly was just so that the trumps could walk away making millions And secret receipts found payments to them dating from 2005 to 2015 Making bullet loves of money off of this mlm scheme And lastly, I thought it would be only fair to mention that there's a lot of claims about the sinister origins of the trump organization's profits The times published a report that showed that much of the trump organization's profits didn't come from real estate investments But actually came from defrauding state and federal governments through tax fraud My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars I came into Manhattan and I had to pay him back and I had to pay him back with interest A million dollars isn't very much compared to what I built. Our work has found that he's way off We've identified more than 200 separate streams Of revenue that was flowing from french trump to donald trump We've run the sort of the facts that we've uncovered past Some of the top tax experts in the country and every single one of them is said wow, this is tax fraud pro-publica and wnyc Also co-published a story that shows that many of trumps international deals also had the hallmarks of financial fraud Including money laundering deceptive borrowing lying to investors and many other potential crimes Patterns of deceptive practices occurred in a dozen deals across the globe as the business expanded into international projects And the trumps often participated one common pattern visible in more than half of those transactions Was a tendency to mistake key sales numbers I'll include the full articles below so that you can read all about it But ultimately while much of trumps real estate dealings end up falling through Trump and the trump family walk away making a profit And how they do this is they get money from the investors and from the development all up front Then when the project inevitably fails Trump just removes his name from it the investors lose money and he walks away making money And time for a speed round of all of trumps business failures brought to you by this tick talk by gross robert Trump's stakes are the world's greatest stakes truly in a league of their own I think this is an event that can be tremendous and it can rival the tuna france We were the most successful flight this morning. We had more people than anybody else and I think we had better service than anybody else I want you and your family to benefit from our breakthrough health and wellness products The scale is what brings the people the opulence Besides Is what really is going to make the Taj Mahal. I think the most successful hotel in the world I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company Trump the game. I think you'll like it We keep success Yeah And that is the full timeline of all of trumps alleged scams and schemes I have to say alleged legally though a lot of them have been proven with court documents and actual settlements where he had to pay money for Committing something that was just either shady or downright illegal I may have missed some things because there is a lot. So let me know if I did I just wanted to cover the main points and main stories But there is definitely a lot that trump has done or did that is shady And of course, there's the many controversies that have happened during his presidency Like possible russian collusion or just cambridge analytica and whatever that was But I think just the facts of his past and proven scammy behavior Really tell enough of a story on their own overall I think while doing research on all of this I realized what trump's biggest scam was the biggest scam of all of this was trump Actually convincing some of us that he was a good businessman


Hello, this is John von Wurst, I'm the Director of Cloud Solutions here at SUSE. Today we're going to do a presentation on Kubernetes on the Edge and do a quick demo of an ARM-based implementation. Thorsten, why don't you do a real quick intro? My name is Thorsten Kukuk. I'm the Simulist Engineer at SUSE. I'm the Senior Architect for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server at MyQS and I'm leading the future technology team. Why would you consider putting Kubernetes at the edge of your network? Well, Edge computing tends to be IoT type workloads with special requirements. In general, it's less expensive to put things in the data center or cloud than it is to put them out at the edge. The three main reasons for edge computing are usually network related, which are latency bandwidth limitations and cost. Edge workloads need to run when the network activity is not guaranteed as well.  Now, going forward in the next five years, 75% of all data will be generated outside of the data center. And in many cases, that data needs to be pre-processed or filtered at the source versus being sent to a central location. As you connect these systems to the internet, you need to worry about security. There's a lot of malware out there now that's targeting IoT type devices. And it's imperative that you make sure that your connections are secure and that they're managed the right way. In addition, companies like Tesla have taught people to expect updated feature sets delivered over the network. The old method of installing firmware on your Edge device for the life of the product is no longer acceptable. On top of that, managing thousands or tens of thousands of devices the old way is no longer feasible. You can't roll a truck every time you need to update a device or send a technician. You must leverage IT technologies to deploy and maintain these Edge devices with complete security. Methodologies must be DevOps friendly to enable rapid development. You must be able to deploy the same way regardless of location, whether it's at the Edge in the cloud or in the data center. And this is what containers delivers for you. You also need policy-based scheduling management to enable you to roll out patches and updates over time versus all at once. At SUSE, we work with several automobile companies. One use case for Kubernetes at the Edge we're working on is manufacturing equipment monitoring and maintenance. The requirement is for real-time quality control measurements to avoid downtime. This helps transition from waiting for things to break to proactively scheduling their maintenance. Our customers are running SUSE Linux for ARM on industrial Raspberry Pi 3Bs. And interestingly enough, a good portion of our Edge activities revolve around the Raspberry Pi. Our customers have built their own monitoring and signaling software with a touchscreen for their worker interface, and they do all their communications over Wi-Fi. The ARM system on a chip architecture is prevalent throughout IoT and Edge implementations. We work with a number of Edge equipment manufacturers that base their products on ARM core microcontrollers with SUSE Linux for ARM running on the CPU. If you're considering a project, please contact the specific hardware renderer to make sure they have tested our operating system. This ecosystem changes rapidly and there's a lot of innovation in this space. One of the components of our Edge container strategy is SUSE's open SUSE Micro-OHAS. This is an offshoot of our open SUSE Linux development process and is specifically tuned for containers. For Edge architectures, a small footprint is critical as most devices don't have full-blown server class hardware. SUSE Micro-OHAS is focused on performance at the Edge and in container environments. We've taken the scalability and security lessons we've learned from Enterprise Class Linux and applied them to this new container operating system. Security is there by design. Open SUSE Micro-OHAS is an immutable operating system that cannot be altered during runtime. This provides the same experience every time a system is booted. Systems built on Micro-OHAS are scalable because there's no configuring individual instances at runtime. Additionally, any time an update fails, you can always roll back to the previous working instance. This greatly reduces the risk of maintaining your devices. Because open SUSE Micro-OHAS is an immutable operating system, the file system is read-only. Atomic updates mean that any changes are made in full or not at all. The system will roll back immediately if the update is not successful. Open SUSE Micro-OHAS uses the ButterFS file system, which gives us very efficient storage and snapshot capability. All of the configuration files stored in the et cetera directory are included in the Snapchat and are rolled back if the update didn't take. Open SUSE Micro-OHAS is flexible with no new package formats or size limitations on the partitions. Now I'm going to turn the presentation over to Thorsen to go through our demo. I will now do the second part, explain the demo setup and then run the demo. If you speak with customers, the requirements for the et are very often very similar. You're going to have an immutable OS because these machines are very often somewhere outside and you need to send a technician to it to repair if something goes wrong. So it should be very robust, reliable, self-healing, and for this we use open SUSE Micro-OHAS with a containerized workload. Unreliable network, if you think about trains, if they are in a tunnel, then they have no network connection anymore, but the whole thing needs to continue to work. As you will use Raspberry Pis for this demo and they don't have a real-time clock for correct time and date. We use an external real-time clock so that certificates and similar things always work. And the whole thing needs to be used without an extra monitor.  So you need an LCD display which follows the status and IP address. Demos always provide a lot of buzzwords and of course you also want to mention a lot of buzzwords so that everybody finds something he needs, he knows in it. So we will have edge, we will have Kubernetes, we will have container, we will have H.I. and machine learning. We will have ARM in this case Raspberry Pi and for cluster management we will use salt. The setup looks like in the middle we have an edge gateway which is connected to the Internet. On the one side, on the other side, it's connected to the Kubernetes cluster. It has a local registry from where the cluster can pull the container images. The edge gateway can get fill the local registry either via the Internet if there is a connection or you can fill it up with a USB stick. Then there is a load balancer. There is Assault Master, there is Cubic-D. Our daemons coordinate the deployment of Kubernetes with the help of Kube-ADM on the cluster. On the one side, on the other side, it's also used to manage the host OS. And the communication with the front-end is then via GRPC which allows encrypted communication with certificates and role-based access control. So, we will use Raspberry Pi for cluster and deploy Kubernetes on it. We don't need external network but we will have a correct clock on all Raspberry Pi so that the certificates from Kubernetes works. It's usable even without a monitor and we will use OpenVINO for H.I. Beta is an OpenCV and DLTT sub-project. The hardware is a nice small tower of four Raspberry Pis. Each has four gigabytes of RAM. We have an LCD display for lines at 20 characters. This follows the status and IP addresses. So, if you are in a different environment, you only need to look at it under which IP you can reach your cluster. And it has a real-time clock. So, let the Raspberry Pis have the right time always. The same. So, the first Raspberry Pi is our edge gateway. We will use and open to the microS container host image for it which will be personalized during the first boot with help of ignition and combustion. It has two network interfaces, the internal and external one. And the LCD display is connected to it and follows the IP addresses and status of the cluster. All services run as a container on this node. And Chrony is used as time server. If the network is online, we will synchronize the time via the network as we use the local external real-time clock. And of course, the salt master needs to run on this node so that we can orchestrate everything. For the Kubernetes nodes, we will use open-through-the-cubic images. Open-through-the-cubic is our certified Kubernetes distribution. As hostOS opens the microS is used. The initial setup will also be done with ignition. The ignition will set up the salt minions and make sure that they connect with the salt master. And it will use Chrony as client. The containerized workload at the edge gateway is the most important part here is the local registry. This allows to deploy the cluster even if the network is flaky. Or we can specify exact version numbers of the containers tested. Provides them via a USB stick and similar things. Then there is the repository mirroring tool, RMT. If you know the Linux Enterprise Server, then you will most likely use already RMT or the older version SMT. This allows to update an external network. It can also be filled via a network or USB stick. And you can select the RPMs that should be there. So test the RPMs in your data center by QR. And if they really fulfill your requirements, put them into the tool and then all the nodes will update themselves from it. You have a name server to be independent of the network. You have a DLCP server to automatically set up the rest of the cluster. Optionally, there is a web server so that you can provide the configuration files for ignition via the network and not via a USB stick or something similar. And there is a script proxy so that you can allow access from the cluster nodes to the internet via access control list and similar things. Raspberry Pi CPU is most of the time fast enough for simple desktop environments. But if you do RE machine learning on it, then this CPU is clearly too slow. So we will use the internal computer stick tool for this to boost up the CPUs. And there you need to consider some things. One is you need to teach Kubernetes about special hardware or resource so that it will schedule the right containers on these nodes. Not too much containers needing this resource. So if you have only one stick, don't schedule two containers who need a stick on one node. But hope that there are enough nodes in the cluster which each have a stick and can then run the container. There is a Kubernetes device plugin available for this USB stick. Unfortunately, the driver is binary only and only available for inter architecture. Not for ARM. Though we hacked the myriad driver, which is an open source driver, plug in and separate it into parts. There is a tool to boot the device if you plug it in. And then there is a plug-in part which is not doing the boot of the device but only accessing it. The reason is that for some unknown reasons, this USB stick cannot be booted out of the container. To show you the difference between using only the ARM CPU of Raspberry Pi 4 or the neural computer stick tool, CPU only a tool part from the benchmark tool from OpenVINO is about 7.5 frames per second. If you use a USB stick, you have 263 frames per second in average. That's a huge difference and worse investigation in special hardware. So at the end of the demo, I will show you a classification example. I will upload a picture to the cluster and we'll get a feedback. What most likely is you will see on this picture. So in Fort, the demo, the steps I will present. At first, install the Edge Gateway load belongs on the Raspberry Pi 1. Also, install the container services and the salt master on it. Install opens the cubic on Raspberry Pi 2.2.4. Need some nice kubernetes master node and add the worker nodes. I will show that it's really working with a Fort HelloCubic test demo. I will install the internal computer stick on the Raspberry Pi 4 and then run OpenVINO to classify an image. And now let's start the fun part and do the presentation, the demonstration. The first Raspberry Pi I want to install is Edge Gateway or load balancer. Because on this machine, we will run later the name server, the DHCP server and the local registry mirror. Which we need to automatically set up the rest of the Raspberry Pi cluster and the workload. And now we only need to create an image for a USB stick which personifies or configures the machine at the first boot. And this includes installing the missing Pactic filters, set up the network and the password so that we can log in all the network. We use Ignition for it. The easiest way to get a configuration file is to write a YAML file. In this case, we log the password so that you cannot log in via a password but only with an SSH key or a network. We create some files for the network configuration. The hostname ETH0 is an internal cluster network interface. ETH1 is an external network interface over which we can connect the cluster. The LCD netmon is the utility which displays on the LCD display the current IP addresses of the network interfaces. And at least we create a configuration file for Kony to use the local hardware clock and not the network. Because we don't yet have a network or the network is unreliable not always there. So we don't want to trust the network but provide our own real-time clock. Signs Ignition itself cannot directly pass YAML but needs a JSON file. We create that as next. Ignition is not able to install packages. And since microS has a read-only root file system, it's also difficult to install it during the first boot without an additional reboot. So that's why we use combustion for it. We have a script. It's called script2 and there is a combustion that requires a network directive. So that combustion will set up the network for us. And then we can install the missing packages we need for our gateway. Now we only need to insert the USB stick into our Raspberry Pi and boot it for the first time. After our edge gateway is booted we will now configure it and copy all needed data on the host for our services run there. Now the first time we need to log in so we need to enter and make SSH happy. You copy the bind, the HCP and HAProxy configuration to the host. Additionally there is a registry, RegistriesCon file which tells cryo which we use for Kubernetes. We have to pull images from, so in this case we map the official cubic and openZoozer, name spaces from the registry openZoozer org to the local registry. This file will be copied to the salt directory so that we can later distribute it to all Kubernetes nodes in the cluster. Now let's log in. As you can see, root has no password, so we cannot log in with a password on the console. Only via SSH key on the network. Let's set up the local registry. At first we copy the default authentication and configuration file to the local directory so that we can adjust it for our needs. Then we need to create a password. In this case I will only use admin because this is quite simple and from a security point of view it doesn't matter here because nobody except me has access but in your environment you should of course use something more secure. So adjust the configuration file with a password. Now for what is this file? We have an RCL list. Admin, if authenticated via a password, is allowed to do everything which also means pushes images to the registry new ones. Everybody is allowed to see the catalog and to pull images from it without password so that everybody can pull images in the cluster but not replace them with something different than admin ones. Now we have a second network interface. We have no name server yet running so we need to add the second IP to the etc host file and let's set up the container registry. Since no certificates are provided by me for this case you will generate self-signed certificates and start the containers. This will take a little bit longer since you have to pull them from the network. Portman PS will show us they are running and if you list the catalog so you see on the local host you can access the registry and there is no image yet. There is a nice tool in your registry which will scan the official OpenSuser org registry and use some regex to create a list and a YAML file which only contains the newest version of an image in the registry. In the official Qubic and OpenSuser Qubic namespace. We use a scope PO to sync the images from the registry to the local registry. In this case we have network access so we can pull them directly from the registry and push them to the local one. For this we need to provide the admin account and the password admin. If you don't want to have network access or don't have network access in your edge area you can also run the command on another host in your data center. Copy all the images to a local USB stick. Go with the USB stick in your edge data center or to your edge machine and then use scope PO to copy the container images from the USB stick and push them to the local registry. Now you can see that scope PO is pulling one container after the other and then pushing it to the local registry. Now copy all images to a local registry and if you list the catalog you will see they are copied. Now we can configure and run the name server. We need to tell the name server where to find the configuration file and start the container with the name server. Tell our local network configuration that it would use the local name server. Next step we configure our DHCP server. So eth0 is an internal network interface where the DHCP server would list the start server. And the last step will be to start the saltmaster. The saltmaster needs to run the OZ. All Raspberry Pi cluster nodes can automatically register to it and we don't need to log into the cluster nodes to do something but we can do all remotes via salt. For the nodes we will use openthecubic which is open to the microS with Kubernetes on top of it. The certified Kubernetes distribution and it will be configured in the same way as microS because it's a microS SOS below it. So we have the password and SSH configuration, the network configuration. We configure the saltminion and tell that all Raspberry Pi's did boot and configure themself and register with the local saltmaster. We need to accept them at our saltmaster for secure reasons so that an intruder can register its own saltminion. And listen to what we do or send its own commands. Since we use a local registry with a self-signed certificate, we need to distribute the certificate to all hosts in the cluster. We do this via salt so that we don't need to copy to every single machine but salt will do it for us. We update the CR certificate. Normally this should be done automatically by systemd but to be sure we will do it additionally on our own. So copy the registry's configuration file for cryo and restart cryo everywhere so that it really uses our local registry and not the one in the network it cannot reach. We also need to initialize cubicD. Our daemon we use to coordinate the cubeADM calls on the different nodes via salt so that we can bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster. We also need to log in on every machine and copy and paste the correct cubeADM commands. We need an HAA proxy and now we initialize the node RPE for dev2 as Kubernetes master. This will take some time. It's a single master setup with VFS network and a containerized control plan. The Kubernetes reboot daemon is used by us to do a controlled reboot of the whole cluster. Add the two remaining nodes and put them to the Kubernetes cluster. Now we will deploy Metal LB as load balancer. Now we have a fully working Kubernetes cluster. Finally to see that the cluster is really up and running. We will deploy a HelloCubic example machine and as you can see Kubernetes is up and running. Some more information about the cluster. I'll get nodes for our nodes all ready. You can see the three HelloPot services and the full list of all of our nodes running on the cluster. Since the ARM CPU is too slow for such an ITAS, I plugged in an Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 into one of the raspberries. In this case I used the node 4-4. You can see it's plugged in. Now since we cannot boot this USB stick out of the container, we need a small utility which will do that for us outside of the container. There's a service which will do that. Now the stick is booted, as you can see here. Now we only need to teach Kubernetes that there is a special node with a hardware extension. And for this we need to tell it about it. So the script is patching the Kubernetes information and adds a resource NCS2. The most important part is the resource definition here. Let's make sure that there's exactly one container per stick because it's not possible that two containers can use the same stick at the same time. Now it's deployed. As you can see there's an OpenMino deployment running on node RPE4.dev. We have an image script, classify image. It's sending to the cluster an image. I forgot to mention. And that's the output of the container. Okay, this concludes our demo. The results show a 67% confidence factor that the image that was submitted is in fact a sports car. We're ready to take your questions now. This video will be available as a download and there's a link here that shows where you can get all the files that were used to create this demo. Thanks for attending and look forward to your questions.


The church with a capital C is reformed and always being reformed. She's a 2,000 pound toddler slowly learning how to walk. Just look back through the archives of church history. It's filled with more than enough blunders and mistakes, but overall a trajectory of love and reconciliation. The church today doesn't always behave the same way she did yesterday. Thanks be to God. And I pray that the church tomorrow continues this trajectory, opening her doors with a radical welcome, embracing the world with a revolutionary love. What will the church look like 10 years from now? I don't know. But I'm excited to find out and I'm with her every step of the way.


So during that transition from what it was to what it became, what did you learn along the way? I learned a lot because obviously I went from a logistics corporate career working with Fortune 500 companies, executives and things like that to literally pouring the foundation on my own in an industry I had not really known much about building a multi-vendor marketplace. So I have continued to learn something new I swear on a daily basis. I'm constantly challenging myself. I never knew what the framework even looked like to build a multi-vendor marketplace. Nobody told me, hey go do this. I just knew what I wanted it to look like. I knew what I wanted the impact to be and I just keep stacking new building blocks on top of another one from all of the learning lessons along the way.


Hi, first of all, I'd like to thank David and Chloe for organizing the session of her, well, thank you for accepting me and inviting me here. I already presented something on gender as David has said last year, but this time it's more of a theoretical framework, right? So, okay, my main two questions here are should we approach an archaeology of gender and gender in Islamic societies, given that it's a very political issue nowadays? And if we should, how can we do it? How can we do it in a way that's de-orientalizing and avoids the political issues that are now all across the Western world regarding Islamic women? So, first of all, I would like to introduce a bit of how Muslim women have been long a topic of discussion in the West, and the narrative of Oriental or Eastern women being already subjected to a patriarchy before the colonial invasion was already paired with the civilizing mission of the West in colonial times, both from a colonial perspective and later from the optics of Western feminism, as I will now explain. So, this means that a large part of this manuscript relied on images of these other women understriked in an oppressed society. These were epitomizing images of the harem, the veil, and later the latter being a hot topic in current political discussions. And as Mahmood al-Hassan put it, the demeaning representation of women was put forward in a three-fold image, being Oriental, being women, and being Muslim. So, even after the political decolonization of the Arab world, this image has persisted. Particularly, the image was not censored by me unless, no, it was like that on Google. So, particularly from the last decade of the 20th century up to today, a criticism of Islam as a religion has come from the West, and the new colonialist discourses have often used women and Western feminism as weapons. So, as Spivak or Chandat al-Bade Mohanti analyzed, Western feminism was transformed into a neo-colonial device, by which to homogenize the categories of analysis and further universal ideas of gender, of what a woman is and what a woman seeks. Meanwhile, on the other end, Muslims called us such as Margot Badran as Mabarlah Sorkisha Ali, have argued for an Islamic feminism, one that empowers women while not negating their religious experiences, and one which uses the Quranic precedent, and in some cases also the Hadith, as guiding principles. In it, there have been different schools of thought and very fruitful debates, often from the fields of law, literature, and religious studies that I cannot fully go into because of time constraints. However, I would like to highlight the position of Fatima Sedat, who argues not for an Islamic feminism, but for the feminism of an Islam taken for granted. He says that, while the feminism of an Islamic feminism must inevitably locate feminism in a Western intellectual paradigm, the feminism of an Islam taken for granted allows for feminism to be located in an alternate history of recent. He may argue for history to be located in Muslim gender consciousness or in understanding Muslim past. So, in this mindset, there is the possibility of recognizing different ways of being and different applications for feminist methods, while ensuring the value of difference and allowing it for it to endure. So, in fact, this mindset is I consider vital because studies of gender and past Islamic aid societies have been somewhat abundant, yet frequently taken interpretation of Islam as a trans-historical phenomenon, or have been looking for past Muslim women. Our first share of studies of history of gender and Islamic aid societies have also fixated on the harem, the eunuchs, or the veil, and these ground narratives. And on the other hand, historical studies of gender and Islamic aid societies are somewhat frequent, but archaeological and material approaches to gender are not so much. As has been explained, the topic of gender and Islamic aid societies is politically loaded. We must consider how can we actually explore gender practices in norms and Islamic societies, and if it's possible to decolonize the image of the gender and of gender and Islamic aid societies. So, for this, first of all, we should consider, following the words of Seda, the archaeology of taking Islam for granted. That is to resist the definition of what Islam or Muslim is, and consider that Islamic stations take place over and over, which I don't think it's news for everyone here, but I think it's worth highlighting nonetheless. So, second, we must also learn to read gender in everything. As a structure that informs and is informed by practices, performances and understandings of groups, social, and economic status, sexual behavior, and yes, religion, it is important that we consider the very varied material manifestations that gender may have. So, that is, we must go beyond looking for women, although, given their general absence in the archaeological discourse, they must be looked for, but we must understand how these systems were configured. For these, we must go beyond the veil, beyond the great narratives, the harems of the Quranic and heavy precepts of privacy and intimacy, and try to see what is actually there. Within Islamic aid societies, women are often regarded as both agents and disruptors of the Islamic orthodoxy. As they are often displaced from public religious ads, and in this case, for example, I'm going to later talk about Al-Andalus, but in case of some instances of some Muslim country, sorry, they are discouraged to attend the Friday prayers in the mosque, namely, they develop different practices of piety, more linked to customary tradition that incurs the creation of regional Islamic aid identities. This is to say that they have a key role in the intersection of religion, ethnicity, and gender. I am weaving together the un-Islamic or pre-Islamic, if you want to say, with Islamic expressions of piety and identity, women exert a type of resistance that affect entire groups in the expression of both their religion and their gender. So, for instance, Leila Bulugol studied female mourning in Bedouin groups in Egypt, a practice that has a pre-Islamic origin and is considered by men a weakness of their faith, but at the same time is an exertion of the Muslim piety, so they do not dare to question it. They just use it on their own way to, and this gender discourses around death, to actually produce and reproduce a hierarchical social order regarding gender, which affect also how the members of themselves. So, how can actually practices of masculinities and femininity's impasses Islamic? How can we see them? Studies of skeletal remains can give insight into sexed bodies and what kinds of activities, traumas, and illnesses they went through. In Europe, we have, I guess, the women remains are more easily accessible than countries that are currently Muslim, or Muslim majority. We can also study domestic spaces, of course. They can also be approached from the optics of gender, particularly as it was understood. We can see that in patriarchal societies it's generally understood as the meaning of the woman, but it can be used to understand influxes of mass in space, feminine space, and how privacy or domestic labor were understood. Material culture in general, I think, can also be read on the optics of gender, even when the association between the material culture and the person behind it are not so evident. And last but not least, we should also look into maintenance activities, which are vital for the creation of the identification of the group, but at the same time are not well understood, are not naturally approached. So as an example, I would like to focus more on my study, which is Al-Andalus. I'm going to present first some examples on how gender can be interpreted through these different fields. So first, in Al-Andalus, as Josef has already said, there was a migration, and there was a migration of whole family groups, which meant that women from North Africa also came to the peninsula early on, which means that a series of customs and traditions and practices that are normally carried out by one gender were also transmitted. So, for example, in the Magbara-Pamplona, which was studied by Virginia, I don't know how to translate it. They both carried osteological analysis, and they found out a dozen individuals that had a finding of the teeth, which is a practice that is actually forbidden by some tradition, because it was used to enhance the beauty, and that's considered that it should not happen. It's a dozen individuals, most of them female, there were some male, but it's understood as a female practice even in African populations. And the fact is that this practice appears in the peninsula, and the study of haplogroups showed that it also was carried out in some local individuals, but it appeared in Pamplona early on, but later on it faded out. And we see other later examples in the 13th century in Porta Alvira, but it seems that it's a practice that is carried out, attached to ethnicity, but it does not survive, at least not in a great extent. We'll see more results, I guess. I would also like to focus, as an example of gender and material culture, on a particular piece of kitchenware and the spaces it's associated with, the Anafre or Anafre. The Anafre is a type of portable stove that appears in the Arabian Peninsula after the conquest, although not as an immediate development, it had a chamber at its base where the charcoal would be placed, and an upper compartment where the cooking would be taken place. So some of these pieces have handles for better transportation, and in the urban center of Bayana, during the 10th century, this type appears on the second level, and it seems to be frequent in urban households from then onwards. And this appearance also kind of questions the appearance of the identification of a particular spot as a kitchen, right? So even in the suburban expansion of Cordoba during the Caliphate, no room and the ones that were uncovered seems to actually operate as just the kitchen, but there seems to be a dialectic of the masculine versus the feminine influxes of what a space can be used as. So I understand this that this involves a greater dialogue between, yeah, the masculine and feminine influxes in the family group because one of the main core maintenance activities, that is preparing food, would be able to take place in different areas around the house. We see this continuing in other sites, and we'll have an episode of Toledo. But later on, in later examples with the arrival of the Amohads and the greater influx of North African traditions in the Peninsula, the Anaphis seems to change into a complementary element to a fixed structure as indicated in one cooking treaty of the 13th century. So its function would be to keep already elaborated dishes warm or to prepare certain sauces. And we see this in Tierra or in Siasa. I took these two houses more because I think this map of Nara Balakorn is very good, but it doesn't show well. So supposedly he made a structure, a division of the houses by importance and size. And even the smaller houses, instead of having a main hall in the lower ground, they have a kitchen. So it seems that this along with the smaller, with the smaller Anaphis that we have then, some of them glaze and everything, we see that the Anaphis is transformed from a piece of kitchenware or cookingware to a piece of tableware. This means that the practices of cooking and feeding the family are transformed and are actually now fixated to a particular room. Actually in Siasa, we see some Anaphitas in the larger households in the kitchen. But even in the smaller households, we see a fixed structure that would actually scaritize the understanding of space within the household. This goes along with tendencies in the Almohad period, for a greater definition of spaces. And in this redefinition, this would, this implicates that female practices, although still important, might be scaritizing fixated to a less visible area of the household. So the Anaphis also, I must say, did survive into the modern era and it is attested until at least the 16th century with some 17th century examples. No, particularly not. So this is Velazquez painting of an old lady with frying eggs and this is an Anaphis, as you can see. So it went beyond an ethnic or religious use, of course. But a long-term standard religious tradition, however, how it was used and the implications that this had on gender performances did change, probably associated to social ethnic transformations with the changes brought by greater influences of North African populations. This is more to pause the question actually. So in conclusion, opening our eyes to reading gender in everything is a key aspect of understanding how ethnicity and social economic position inform gender as much as religion does. By taking Islam for granted and reading it as historically contingent, historically and geographically contingent, we may speak about how men and women in Islamic State societies operate through the transversal optics of gender, social economic status, of course, or sexual position. My aim here was to introduce how this is not only important, but I think also it can be done, and it's necessary for the orientalizing this image of gender in Islam. I also must say, I said we must go beyond looking for women and I taught Tony about women, but it's only as an introduction because generally they have not been looked for. So yeah, that's my conclusion. Thanks for listening.


YouTube team keep it clean. Good morning. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video just another daily topic about the Baltimore Ravens and Something to think about for the immediate future With the draft coming up with free agency coming up I know we keep repeating those things, but we have to keep repeating those things because they are on the way And they'll be here before you know it. It's only gonna be in about a month And I'm only gonna be able to say about a month For about another week because then another week is gonna be in only like three weeks And three weeks is gonna be in another like two weeks and then after that so on and so forth, but anyway So we're gonna keep talking about it until we actually reached that point And in this video shout out to my guy still seven-fold. He had sent me a DM on Twitter saying asking should the Ravens draft a Halfback that can catch one that can catch a Catching half back one that I catch some passes out of the backfield One that's like known for that sort of like what Danny Woodhead is But maybe if we can get a younger guy, he will one be cheaper and one will not be injury prone And I say man, that's actually a pretty good idea So we're gonna get into that for this video this morning and again I appreciate everybody that's joining us this morning. Good morning. I hope we all are all having a great day today Hope y'all have a great Friday this Friday started off really really good so far so far so good. I hope it continues that way I'm sure it will though The first before we get into it. Let me introduce myself me. I mean Graven vids This is my YouTube channel engraving vids and I'm a Ravens fan And even though I'm a Ravens fan on this YouTube channel We talk Ravens all the time like y'all already know but we also talk all 32 fell team So if you're Ravens fan, you can subscribe if you like anybody else, you can subscribe Oh, if you don't like anybody you just love talking football. You can subscribe And of course y'all already know this is team keep it clean. So all the comments must be kept 100% Squeaky clean. No cursing. No derogatory. No disrespect for comments. That's it. It's simple Everybody already knows that and and for about 99.9% of the comments that we do get on this YouTube channel Are respectful everybody got love for each other and that's the way that it's gonna be on hip-feather And that's why I appreciate y'all but anyway And also you can follow on put an Instagram and snapchat all three are engraving vids. So So should the Ravens make that move and Draft the running back that can make some catches out of the backfield or should they sign one? I know Juan just mentioned Deon Lewis now I would stay away from him not because he can't catch because he can definitely catch and make some plays once he gets the ball in his hands But I just don't feel like the Ravens should invest Big money And he might not even command big big money, but for Ravens any free agent free agent running back That's big money because that's not a position. That's at the top of their Needs So that's something that you can draft. I think they should focus more on a draft for any running back help and not free agency because If there's a running back in free agency besides Deon Lewis, then that's probably a reason for that I mean we saw Adrian Peterson last year and saw what he did with the Saints They got rid of him and he went on to the Cardinals and that was the reason Who else I think Jamal Charles was out there last year and he Looked like he fell off a little bit unless maybe it just wasn't a good fit the system that he was in who knows But my point is there's a reason that these running backs are in free agency You can get a running back in the draft you can hit on them in the draft and That could be your that could be your goal but anyway For the Ravens They're running back situation. Everybody knows the story with Alice Collins. He had just he had been such a blessing from Seattle Thank you again Seattle for blessing us with Alice Collins We got to do a special video for the Seattle Seahawks and all their fans Because they deserve it. They saved our season But Alice Collins, he was great last year. He was great and the but we The Ravens if they want to pass catching running back. He was not really that option He caught some passes out of out of the backfield don't get me wrong, but his hands are definitely not consistent He did have a lot of drops And some simple drops just with the balls right there on your hands But he did make some tough catches too, but as a running back your primary responsibility is not to catch the ball It is a nice nice little bonus though if you can catch that just Enhances your game and takes it to a whole nother level. So with Alice Collins Can he catch the ball out of the backfield? Yes Is he a consistent catcher right now? No Hopefully he can improve on that to become an even better back than he already is Because he's shown that and the Ravens have shown that they're willing to work with him on any issues that he may have For example the problem Because like we all talked about before we already know Harbaugh hates fumbling with a passion and if you fumble on his team, you will end up on that bench so fast But with Alice Collins, I guess they saw something and they actually stuck with him Which I actually love which was something that I'm not used to with the Ravens but they actually stuck with them and gave him another chance and They worked on his fumbling issues instead of just giving up on a dude They actually worked on his fumbling issues I'm so used to Ravens just giving up on running backs once they fumble or just keeping them in the doghouse for a while and not Giving them a second chance for a very long time, but with Alice Collins They gave him a second chance and then maybe it was because they didn't see anything explosive from the other running back So he just hadn't to benefit from that or it could have been because they really saw something special in him either way I Think if we're gonna get a pass catcher running back It would have to be in a draft Because I mean we have Buck Allen on the team to don't forget about Buck Allen who's been nice especially last season But and he can catch out of the backfield, but his route running is just It's not It's not it. He's not a great route runner And again, he's a running back. So route running shouldn't be his His primary responsibility or his specialty. It would just be a nice bonus, but Danny Woodhead is somebody That can catch passes out of the backfield perfect for that Even though I felt like a lot of times when Danny Woodhead was in the game It was predictable because you knew Flacco was always going to be looking at that dude And I mean he had reasons who because that's the one receiver who he probably actually trusted He probably couldn't trust the rest of them receivers because they drop everything. Um But Danny Woodhead is not I don't I don't he's not worth As predictable wow, I just saw city. Maybe she dropped something. I saw some lady with two kids in the stroller And the stroller she just put the stroller Stroller was just sitting there and she was walking right past It looked like I don't know what that was that was about. Um, hopefully that's just Hopefully I just saw it at the wrong time and maybe she dropped something on the walk. Anyway, um, Danny Woodhead is not No, he's not worth the roster spot to me because he's injury prone older and He is somebody like I've said before In order for him to break a nice run, he needs the perfect blocking He needs everything to be perfectly lined up for him To to break a big run. He needs just all the worlds the worlds to fall in line for everything to line up perfectly and That doesn't happen on every play therefore He's not going to break run or even a nice run every plate with unless we have perfect blocking And that just doesn't happen in that film from anything so he's not worth the roster spot Alice Collins somebody who showed that he can get it done even if it's not perfect He made a whole lot of plays man. Shout out to Alice Collins, man. Um He is just great. Thank you seahawks again, but anyway, um So with all of that being said, um, as far as the pass catching running back draft one I still think we should get a speed back because we don't have a speed back I mean Alice Collins he has speed he's shown he can he can move but buck allen is not the homerun guy Alice Collins is not even the super homerun guy. I mean he can get it there, but It takes him I mean, he's probably the fastest back we got right now Um, and then we got Kenny Dixon too. Don't forget about Kenny Dixon somebody who can also catch passes out of the back field and they said he was nice at that and I remember when um I remember when Raven's first draft to Kenny Dixon.  Oh, he reminds me of Jamal Lewis when they drafted him Um, I guess an OTA's know that they said how good he looked blah blah blah And I'm like, okay. I want to see it and I want to see it on the field Uh, then he got hurt So they didn't get to see it. Um, so then he actually he His injury passed he was healthy again, and then I saw this guy. I'm like, hold up. Yeah, this dude can catch He got some he got a little spin move. He got a little agility too He could give a good stiff arm. This guy kind of nice. He's kind of nice, but then Um, next season he got hurt again He got hurt again, and he got suspended Then he got suspended again, and he got suspended while he was suspended So now you got this back with this talent, but it's like he almost can't he can't even be trusted He almost can't even be trusted yet Jamal Lewis was one of the best offensive players for the Ravens of all time Even though that's not saying much because it's the Ravens and they not know offensive players But they do gives me good running backs. That is one thing about Baltimore Ravens They make sure They do good running back They will have a good running back that Jamal Lewis is already right He just didn't force it when he did his thing and now alice collins Um, of course, uh, then buck allen. I mean even Ravens always with us mcgahey Larama claim they made they always make sure they take care of their running backs They have running backs. That's one thing that they specialize in um But yeah, man kena dixon has already shown that he is not trustworthy in two ways both injury wise And health wise so how much do you really want to rely on this and this is somebody they wanted to be the guy This is somebody they wanted to be the guy they wanted kena dixon to be the start of their prime time player They're running back of the the president in the future. They wanted him to be it, but he can't be trusted He lost his lost his opportunity because it's getting suspended and getting hurt So you do those two things in nfl? Ain't gonna last long man So I think because alice collins he showed that he was trustworthy buck allen's trustworthy get a speed back too Get us get us get somebody with some speed and we could also uh That same running back that we get with some speed if we can get a breakaway guy like that Maybe he could be a kick kick a punt returner too because that's something that we've lacked Over the last time we had an explosive kickoff a pump return besides jacoby jones We I don't I don't think we have what we did. We've had one since caven clay is not it michael campaneros not it chris moore is not it Two out of those three guys can't stay healthy And three out of three out of those three guys are not consistent enough They're not threats out of uh On kickoff and pump return. They're not real threats They can break one every like once every six months and football he's in his six months. So that's you get my point but um We get a speed back Uh back that can make some things happen Then he could also like I said be a kickoff with pump returners So that's something that I think raven should really look at this year too. Um, this draft this free agency or whatever Get somebody for special teams Because special teams the return special teams has been lacking for a while now. Um, but anyway, I pulled up to work Appreciate y'all man. Thank you for coming through. Thank you for showing so much love. I hope y'all have a great friday I'll talk to y'all later on we out, man

Greetings, Risk 5 friends. Yes, finally it's another Risk 5 video. I have finally received in the mail all the parts that I need to continue. Well, it depends on your definition of continue. You see, I'm still working on the register card. Now, I said register card singular. The original idea was that I was going to have 32 register cards, one card for each register, and I would have a large backplane, and that's why I sort of did some yak shaving with my termination videos. So, what I've decided to do instead is go with a single card, and I'm not really going with an FPGA. No, this is actually a RAM. I'm building a Risk 5 processor, not on an FPGA. So, let me explain what's going on. So, here is a very, very simplified block diagram of the registers in the Risk 5 processor. It's essentially a register file, which just means it's a bunch of registers that can be addressed. And we have a destination address and a source 1 address and a source 2 address. The destination writes to the register file and source 1 and source 2 read from the register file simultaneously, effectively. So, what this actually means is that this is like a 3-port RAM, and if I add the display in, this is actually a 4-port RAM. Now, we've only got one writer and three readers, so this is actually fairly simple. And all a multi-port RAM means is that you can read and write simultaneously to different addresses. The more ports, the more addresses you can read and write simultaneously. Now, they do make a 4-port RAM chip. Of course, I don't need nearly that many registers. I only need 32 registers, not 4K of them. And this is only by 8, and our registers are by 32. Nevertheless, I could use this. So, here is an internal diagram of the chip, and you can basically see that the memory array is over here, and then you've got one, two, three, well, three, four ports. The problem is that when I went to Digikey to buy these, they didn't have enough. The other problem is that this is a 5-volt chip, and my entire system is 3.3 volts. So, instead of that, I decided to go with these dual-port RAMs. Now, dual-port is not quad-port. Nevertheless, I can combine them in order to effectively make a quad-port RAM. The reason I can do that is that I can split this into two, and I can write to both registers, or I can write to both copies of the register. And then one copy could be, say, for source one, and the other copy could be for source two. And then, of course, I could have a third copy for a display. Now, my idea was that I would have, first of all, because these are by 16s, I would have to have two to make them by 32. So, this is one copy, and this is a second copy, and you can see on the other side, I've also got one copy and the second copy of the data. So, I can write to both copies, and then they're a source one and they're a source two. And I can have a second card that's just for the display. Now, here's a block diagram of the dual-port memory. So, there's the memory array, and there's one port over here, and the other port over here. They're pretty much symmetrical. Now, there is some arbitration logic over here, where if you try to write simultaneously to the same address on port one and port two, only one of them will win, and there's some arbitration logic in here to decide that. But I'm never writing on both ports simultaneously. I'm only ever writing on a single port and reading from the other port. So, that's great. Now, the other interesting thing is here. You can see that there is an upper byte and a lower byte. So, you could write only to the upper byte, or read only from the upper byte, and read and write only to the lower byte, or you could do both, which is interesting because some of the risk five instructions want you to only write to the upper byte or the lower byte. And of course, if you've got 32 bits, then you could write any one of the four bytes. Now, the other advantage of using a RAM chip is that the address decoder is already in the RAM chip, so I don't have to decode the destination address or the source address and then route signals to 32 cards. So, this isn't as disintegrated, I guess, as using just plain old buffers and 8-bit and 16-bit registers, but I am using a RAM and RAMs were available, you know, from the 70s and 80s, so I don't think I'm cheating that much. And the other nice thing is that it's only going to be one card or actually two for the display, and it's definitely a lot cheaper in terms of there's only one card or two for the display. These are a little bit expensive, but they are less expensive overall than buying 32 copies of a register. Now, take a look at that footprint. That is a quad flat pack, specifically a thin quad flat pack, TQFP, and it's 100 pins around. Also, the pins are 0.5 millimeters apart, which is just barely within the realm of hand soldering. Nevertheless, I'd have to do four of them. So, instead, I bought these solder stencils, and these are stainless steel, stainless steel or go home, and basically they just fit on top of the printed circuit board. They're very easy to align, and then you just tape it down, and you can squeegee, with this squeegee, some solder paste on, and then you remove this, and then you just put the chips on, and then you put it in a oven, and the chips will sort of self-align. Now, the problem is that this is a double-sided board. So, what do you do? You can't just, you know, paste one side, put the chips on, put it in the oven, and then turn it around, paste the other side, and then put it in the oven because now the one side is going to melt, and you also can't simultaneously, you know, paste one side and paste the other side. So, what I bought is two different temperatures of solder paste, and this is pretty cool because what you do is you take the high-temperature solder paste, and you do one side, and you run it through the oven, then you turn it over, and you use the low-temperature solder paste, and then you put it in the oven using the low-temperature profile, so that it never reaches the high temperature that this side would require to melt. So, you're never actually melting the side that you did. So, this is going to be a new procedure or technique for me, and we'll see how it actually comes out. Okay, so let's get started. I will start on this side, and of course I'm going to be using the high-temperature solder paste. This is the low-temperature solder paste. We can see that the melting point is 138, and for reflow it peaks out at 165, and that is well below the melting point of the high-temperature solder paste, which is 183. So, this gets set aside, and we'll go and use that, and I've got these little L shapes, which will help to align the board, and I've got the stencil, and I've actually got two stencils. One is designated front or top, and the other is the bottom. I think this is the top. Nope, it's not the top. This is actually the bottom. Not that it really matters, and the way that I can tell is that the capacitor placements are actually slightly different. Like, this is wider than this, so that's how I can tell. So, the first thing that I'm going to do is tape down the L's. Just tape one down randomly, and then sort of get everything nice and tight. Tape down the other L pretty much just like that. All right, so that's not going to move. Now, I've got my stencil, and I'm just going to tape one side, and now I get to align this, looking at the pads through the essentially what's a great. So, if you move the grate a little bit, the pads will become misaligned, and you can easily tell. So, this is how you can easily tell that my stencil is now perfectly aligned. So, the next thing that I'm going to do is grab some paste, and let's see. We have, this is the needle. It's funny that they only supply one needle. You usually need a hell of a lot more, and this is the plunger. Just goes in just like that. This is the cap. Put the needle on, and then we will just squeeze a line on the stencil. Not a whole lot. I may in fact need a little more. Better to have a little more than not enough. You really want to do this in one go. I think that's probably sufficient. Okay, and does this cap fit on here? Not really, but okay. Well, all right. So, I'll leave that there, and then I have a spreader, and basically the idea is that you want to go at something like a little less than a 45 degree angle, and then you just want to spread the solder paste in an even way. Without pushing too hard, hard is okay, because what you don't want is the solder paste to squeeze underneath the stencil, but as long as you're applying constant pressure across the entire spreader, hopefully the stencil won't lift up. So, let's see if I can do this. Unfortunately, now I'm doing this left-handed, which is really not great. So, I'm just going to reach over and do this with my right hand. I can tell that this isn't probably not working very well. Well, maybe it does. So, now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go again from the very beginning. I have a little too much solder paste on there. So, I, this is about the fourth try, so I think I'm just going to live with it and hope that I don't have to use the soldering, the desoldering braid too much on that. Well, those are all the components on the front side, or the bottom side put on. Well, it's out of the oven, and you can probably see on the right side here that something's going on. The rest looks okay. And if we look at it here under the microscope, we can see that that right side definitely has too much solder on it. So, hopefully I can just run a bit of desoldering braid on it. And this is the other side that I thought I did pretty well. All in all, it's a pretty bad showing, I think. And I heard one tip from EEV blog that basically says, now if you look at the solder mask, you can see that it goes around the pad. And what they actually suggested is to pull that in slightly so that it might even overlap the pad a little bit. And that might help with the solder staying within the pads. Okay, well, I hit things with the desoldering braid and touch things a little up with some solder. And for the most part, it came out okay. The only thing that might be a little odd is it's really hard to see. But if you look over here, the fact that this pad is shiny means that there's no solder whatsoever over here. And I did push at this pin, and it does seem to be firmly affixed to the pad. I push gently. So all of these pads do appear to be electrically connected. And I did, you know, spot check a few of them to make sure that the pin was connected to the pad. And everything seemed to be okay. So despite the fact that there's not a lot of solder here, I think enough got between the pin and the pad. And here is my test circuit. So I have the card put into this slot, which is just a breakout board. And I have source one address to zero, source two address is zero destination address is also zero. I also have those byte low and byte high controls to zero. So all the bytes should be enabled. And I have the output for source one and the output for source two enabled. I also have LEDs on one of the bits. This is just bit 15 for source one and source two. And I am able to write bit 15 through the destination. And currently I have the destination right control line set to one, which means we're not going to write anything. We're just going to read whatever is in the RAM at address zero bit 15. And I've got the power ready to go. And really what I want to do is just first of all, turn on the power and see if the magic smoke comes out because if it does, then I'm just going to have to find out what I did wrong and re spin the board, which is always a pain. I have one capacitor, one large bulk capacitor for the power supply. There are of course individual capacitors next to each chip on the board. So here goes. Let's turn on the power and we've got zero.  Or did I? Full power requires about 160 milliamps, which makes sense because these are SRAMs. Now let me just touch the SRAM to see how hot it's getting. It's not getting hot at all, which is a good thing. I do sense some mild heating, but as long as it's not burning, I think the magic smoke is fine. So yes, this is SRAM. There's a lot of bits in here and it does take quite a lot of current to run it. In fact, if we take a look at the current, we can see that the dynamic operating current, this is when the chips are all selected, which is what I have, is typically something like 150, 140, 130 milliamps. So this is well within range. So I'm looking at the LEDs and they are not lit. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to write, or at least attempt to write, a one bit by strobing the right line low. All right. So one of the LEDs went on and the other one did not. So that's interesting. Let me attempt to write a zero bit. So let me strobe right. Okay. So the LED remained lit, which means that there's something wrong in my wiring. Now on the schematic and on the board, this half is the lower 16 bits and this half is the upper 16 bits. So really all I was testing was this half. So assuming that maybe there's something wrong with this half and assuming I didn't screw up the wiring globally, let's test this half by testing one of the bits there. So I'm going to turn on the power. Okay. Now it looks like both LEDs are lit. So what I'm going to attempt to do is write a zero. Okay. See that worked. Both LEDs went out and let me go ahead and write a one and that worked. Both LEDs are lit again. Now I also have the read enable. So if I change this to low, that LED goes out because now I've disabled the output. This is the output. There we go. So now we've got this output. Great. All right. Let me again write a zero just for fun. Okay. That worked. So we know that one half is okay. It's likely that the other half is okay, but maybe there, you know, maybe one of the pins that I thought was soldered actually isn't soldered. Okay. Well, this was the chip that I determined wasn't working or that I speculated wasn't working. So I actually desoldered it and put in a new one. And this time, of course, I drag soldered everything and I tested each and every connection. And luckily, my multimeter probes are small enough that I could just touch every pin. And I did actually notice that even after drag soldering, that some of the pins were just not soldered. They were sort of sitting up above the printed circuit board. So maybe, you know, the solder just didn't wick in. So I did multiple rounds of testing and I've determined that all the connections now on the chip, this particular chip are good. And then for good measure, I went around and looked at all of the other chips and they also seemed to be okay. So let's go ahead and put this in the tester and see if I can finally write that bit over there. So turning it on and this LED is actually lit. So what I'm going to do is write a zero bit. Okay, excellent. And write a one bit. And okay, unfortunately, this bit died again. Well, okay, I don't know what happened. Maybe I'm just looking at the LED from the wrong angle, but it is definitely lit. And if I write a zero, they're both definitely not lit. And then if I write a one again, they are both definitely lit. So, you know, it's entirely possible that maybe this LED is a little flaky or maybe it's just, you know, a little bit off because there's very little current going through these LEDs. So anyway, that does seem to work. I think what I'll do is I'll switch one bit. I'll just choose a random bit. Right now I'm at bit zero, I believe. So I'm just going to choose bit one. So I'll move these three connections up one bit and we'll see if that works. Okay, I have moved the three bits up one position and let's take a look. Okay, right now we're reading a zero. So I will write a one and that works and I will write a zero and that also works. So at least that bit works. Now, of course, what I would want to do is test all 32 bits and all 32 addresses. But to do that, I'm going to need a lot more pins, a lot more wires, a lot more jumpers and a device that can actually stimulate this and receive all the bits. So how many bits do I need? Well, first of all, just for the addresses, I'm going to need five for the source one, source two and destination. So that's already 15 outputs to the card. I'm also going to need all 32 destination bits. So that's a 32 extra going in. So what are we at now? 47. I will also need the control line to write. So that's already 38. It would be nice to test the output enables, but I'll just keep them enabled. So we're still at 38. Now, receive, I'm going to receive 32 bits from source one, 32 bits from source two. So that's 64. Now I'm not counting the low and high byte control lines at this point. I'm just going to keep them low and test all of the bits. So we've got, what did I say? 38 going in and 64 coming out. That's something like on the order of 100. Now, of course, I don't have any test boards that can input or output 100 bits. I'm waiting for an FPGA board to come in that I could probably write something fairly simple that simply outputs a bit at one clock and reads the bits in during another clock. And then just does that. So all we're doing is we're collecting 32 maybe on one PGA, FPGA 32 on another one. And hopefully I can test it that way. But for now, this kind of seems like it's working at least one bit at a time. So until next time, I'll see you. Bye bye.
