age non high school intern an assistant teacher part two calls it a counselor for the next step these are the same yeah they call them head teachers and teachers part two calls them a site director for what would be like a head teacher not an assistant director assistant director sorry assistant director and then there's the site director which is the highest for instance you know YMCA for similar positions YMCA was a lower actually and they're a nonprofit program staff and then assistant site director so the short of it is they both start the bottom of their scales for their regular folks at 13 yes those are all the same pretty much well the Y was the lowest the Y was the lowest the Y was the lowest 12 would be non profit for the one the counselors at part two are 13 and $15 an hour and CC was $14 an hour the one CC was $14 what was it called 13 the name of the position counselor the counselors in part two yeah all three of them work directly with kids yeah so the ones who are the site director yeah yeah so are wages in the contract the contract has not been I know but would it be is it something you can put in there yes okay and the then for the the subsidy piece do I have that vague understanding correctly correct that they're sort of using a pay scale that it's sort of an internally subsidized partially and that under the new system there'll be a more of a reliance on state subsidies or is that just a butchering of the understanding really works I would say it's a butchering part two has for any family that qualifies for the subsidy which is anyone under seven right now the way the state has it structured it's approximately anybody under $75,300 receives at least a 10% that's the that's the beginning so and that's from the state and that's from the state that's based on household size do you know yes it is so it's based on household it's not an exact science because it's household income as soon as the family qualifies for the subsidy part two gives them a 50% scholarship automatically so all families who fall under that $75,000 scale get that 50% subsidy so half goes away and then let me understand so they have to go demonstrate that they've got the state subsidy basically the concept or because the income verification is something probably would be doing but the state will certainly do it they help families work through the subsidy process it means the district can help with that too and then the state would contact part two so the money goes directly to and then the bill gets changed so it's the subsidy and then the families get a 50% scholarship so as you go between the subsidy and the 50% scholarship as you work down lower into that subsidy your subsidy increases and that's where the that's where the cost comes especially for some of the lower income families you might have to know it's it's significant lower do you anticipate more families as a percentage will be on the state subsidies I anticipate more families will apply for subsidy one of my hunches and I don't know if it's correct or not it's a hunch is that because of that people didn't and there was and I think it was not transparent and I think people thought that the sliding scale was the subsidy right nobody was informed about the other piece really unless they it was one on one sometimes and you know there was an acknowledgement that you know there will be a layer of forfelling out and bureaucracy that will be involved in accessing that money which is why we got instructions that we both work on the contract and the rollout that that be made very easy for families that we make sure they have the information and that for families that need assistance walking through that process they get that assistance so that's that's easy for them and it's not a barrier I think that's a really important part of their world I mean starting I just don't want to underestimate that change it's hard changes challenges for everyone and this this is a piece that's going to be starting May 13th there's Jeff O'Hara who's the guy who runs Part 2 will be at UES from 6 to 7 we haven't gone out yet it's gone out tomorrow um the flyer's being made now um but there will be a parent info night where he's very well versed that I've met with him today about what how he needs to really stress about his help and support and how we can collaborate in that and even though it is a for-profit you know the people that are leading it are you know are committed educators and I think everyone at least most people on the on the committee um have a level of discomfort with a for-profit entity um I think we share a concern Steve that uh you know privatizing elements of our you know what we kind of consider a sphere of education um I definitely have a level of discomfort around it um you know that said there were you know there were some concerns with the non the public entities that we had to choose from um that unbalanced for-profit entity favorable here and you know I mean it's a for-profit entity but it's also you know is formed by educators who I think are very committed to to education I mean their vehicle for doing it is for-profit but um you know this is this is a homegrown homegrown business with uh people who are very connected to the Vermont community to the Vermont education world um and have a lot of depth and experience um I think I think too some of those concerns are also balanced and in times in some cases in our discussions offset by the organizational structure the organizational capacity um and sort of the ability to take it and go um and run a you know a successful and a very um positive after-school program for students without without the district or you know employees or administrators or whoever having to to go in and fix or repair or oversee um you know and provide support and organization I think the part of that was you know the the one thing that they're able to provide it seems like you know from my experience in our discussions a lot that some of the others didn't the culture um the culture of the employees and within the organization was something that really stood out for the people that visited part two is um you know just a tight knit group um you know well trained just I think there's those elements that come along with it that that there are some of the benefits there too that they're able to also in some ways do things that you know at the same cost well hold on you would totally have me until you set a public organization can't do that and I disagree with that 100% I think that that's a question of nurturing public entities rather than putting them in competition with private entities however I do hear that this is a major benefit of the the predicament we're in right now is that we have one out of four who actually can pull this off quickly and professionally and that we don't have the time or resources to respond to this and so given that you know certainly it's obviously a very compelling piece of it is the quality of the of the part two see if I would agree with that that addition I have a couple of questions first of all thank you Bridget, Jim Matt everybody who was involved in this process I know it was very time consuming very energy intensive really appreciate your thought really important to the community and this position I fully support this position and I really appreciate I know I was frustrated a little bit ago and because I was hearing about needs but I felt like we didn't have enough information in the process I really appreciated this process I thought this was a great process you guys the past several weeks I've been explaining how this would fit into a much bigger picture we understand the needs so I really appreciate this I'm in full support of this position without a doubt with regard to the subsidies going along with Bridget's thought of well, there wasn't a parent contribution or what else could we do I do have a little bit of a concern because my understanding is previously this money was used in part to help subsidize some lower lower middle income students and now this money is going to go fully to this investment it's not not accurate we don't know exactly what this money went to quite honestly we have no budget a concern you made the revenues from the licensed program no, $37 yeah, yeah I thought that my understanding and it was a little misunderstanding was that some of that was used to that went into a pot at Washington Central Supervisor Union and no one including people at WCSU could tell us what the money was okay so I'll just I know it's late I want to cut to this really quickly and Steve asked many questions well, you answered many concerns and answering his questions that I had so how long is the contract likely for is this going to be an annual bi-annual type thing they would run starting in the fall year round programming but when we enter into a contract with them for one year see how it goes in one year contracts and make sure that we have pieces in there that they have accountability measures they have to be reached which is not in our current contract in any way shape or form and that also ensures a certain level of accountability in addition to those measures just having to be yes annual basis like that would the enrichment coordinator work at all with setting up part two would they work at all with they want to be working with them to set it up they'd be collaborating with them certainly one of the questions still in this enrichment coordination is if it's 7 12 or 5 12 actually talking to Jeff about that today just we opened up that opportunities or some of the opportunities as well and and Jeff Jeff's like we'll coordinate with that and we'll make sure kids can come in and out and kids can do what they need to do and sports teams and they're well versed in middle school needing that anyway because lots of kids are doing lots of things in middle school so they talked about a camel's hump that kids go in and out and you know like they keep track of where they are and they make sure it's available and kids are safe and they're accounted for and would certainly be working with a site director at the middle school in collaboration and making sure spaces and you know their offerings because part two will be having those middle school kids out and about and doing things and using the facilities that we have at the middle school and so we want to make sure that everybody has their space and that we work well together and that's one of the benefits of bringing this position into district we can do that we have control over it that way from Steve and some of the like the committee had these concerns too which was access to these assistance programs do you think that this position would at all help facilitate you know getting folks access to these to this assistance this public assistance at all or is that totally outside to the subsidy this piece isn't connected in that way because the subsidy only applies to licensed programs and this is an unlicensed program so that position at all in that regard that program's internally subsidized effectively right with the revenues from the program would subsidize exactly okay last thing is very late if we identify along the way and I hope we will be looking for these things if we identify that there is an area of need if there's like a benefit clip for example near the edge of where the subsidies are we have some families 50% 300% of the federal poverty level all of a sudden you know paying hundreds more more you know okay I was also thinking that might be an area where the board could step up and find we can make sure that families have care okay so we we need actually this part is a question yeah so we want to make that one I know that we hired second any further discussion? what's the favor? hi adjourn adjourn mind made of all what's the favor? agenda


You realize in life don't we that emotions don't organize themselves into neat categories for us. They just present themselves amongst all the other emotions we're having and often one emotion can feel like another one but they are not the same. And I think developing an emotional accuracy in our ability to interpret them, this emotional literacy where we can give correct interpretation to an emotion we're feeling, what that does is it delivers us from being at the mercy of rogue unnamed misunderstood emotions that hijack our internal world and they


The lesson I sent in was about potato propagation, and this is a type of asexual reproduction in plants that's actually using a piece of the plant to create another one. You can use this with all types of age groups and manipulate it to be lower level for elementary students or higher level for your secondary education. So the simple thing to do is you can plant potatoes inside or outside. They just need 160 frost-free days for them to actually produce a potato. In the lesson plant itself it says you have to have seed potatoes, but for this you can actually just go get any potato variety except for sweet potatoes at your store. They actually kind of use a different technique to propagate them. But what you do is then cut your potato up to where you have these indentations that are called eyes. As long as you make sure you've got at least an eighth of the potato and it has an eye on it, you plant it about two inches deep and you keep it water, you will eventually get a potato plant. So simply to put this, depending on what age group you have, you may want to do the cutting or you may want them to do the cutting. So you just simply cut it. And then what I would also recommend doing is to leave this out overnight just exposed to the air. It creates a callus and that's just going to keep bacteria and things you don't want in your plant from getting in there. Plant it, water it, and in about 160 days you're going to actually be able to harvest different kinds of potatoes. That's it.


Welcome to all of you, myself Ravindra Samant from Department of Electronics Engineering, Vulturen Institute of Technology, Solapur. So in this session, we will discuss ARM7 data processing instructions. At the end of this session, students will be able to demonstrate the ARM data processing instructions and students can also write different ARM programs using the different data processing instructions. Outline of this session, the first features of ARM instruction set, the format for data processing instruction and actual the data processing instructions. The major features of ARM instruction set are like this. In ARM7, all the instructions are of 32-bit long and most of the instructions execute in a single cycle because the length of most of the instruction is same. Now, this feature helps to implement the pipeline architecture. All the ARM instruction can execute conditionally. So we can write the condition in the instruction itself. And ARM instruction set is based on the load store architecture. Means while processing the data, the data must be kept in the registers. The memory operations are not possible. Now all these ARM instructions are classified in six different groups. The data processing instruction group in which all the instructions which performs operation or some process on the data. Group of branch instructions is used to change the sequence of execution of the program. In status register transfer instructions used to read and write the data from the status register. The load and store instructions are used to load the data from the memory into the register and to store the data from the register into the memory. And co-processor instructions are also there and to interrupt the ARM core, the exception instructions are also provided. So first we will see what are the different data processing instructions defined in ARM 7. So as far as the instruction format is concerned, all the instructions are of 32-bit long and these 32-bits are divided in various fields. So for the data processing instructions, the condition is placed from bit 28 to 31. The operation to be performed, that is the upcode of the instruction is put from bit 20 to 27. Then bit 16 to 19 is defining the source operand 1, bit 12 to 15 these are used to define the destination register where the result of the operation will be get stored and lower 4-bits 0 to 3 these bits are specifying the source operand 2. Now in data processing instructions, the different condition we can write in the instructions and these conditions are shown here. For example, EQ, if you are writing the instruction with prefix EQ, then that instruction will execute only when the zero flag is set. If we are using the condition NE that is not equal, then the instruction will execute when the zero flag is reset and some other conditions are also there. That means we can execute these data processing instructions on conditioning. Now these data processing instructions contains the different operations like the arithmetic operations, comparison operations, logical operations and they can also use to move the data between the registers. So first category of the operation is arithmetic operations. So syntax used for these arithmetic instructions are like, first there is need to specify operation to be performed, then the condition, then the S-bit, if this S-bit is one then status register will get affected, if S-bit is not mentioned then the status register does not get affected. Then the destination register source operand 1 that is RN and the operand 2. And in arms 7, the different arithmetic operations are ADD, that is the ADC stands for ADD with carry, SUB is used for the standard subtraction and SBC is used for subtraction by considering the carry bit. So say for example the first instruction is written here add r0, r1, r2. So the value in r1 will get added into the value in r2 and the result will gets reflected in r0 register. Similarly for the add with carry instruction r1 plus r2 plus the status of the carry bit will be added and the result will get stored in r0 register. That means for the subtraction for subtraction the operand 2 always gets subtracting from the operand 1 that will be the r2 will get subtracted from r1 register and the result will be kept in r0 register. Some instructions are defined for reverse subtract. So rsb r0, r1, r2 this instruction now subtracts the operand 1 from operand 2. So r2 minus r1 will takes place and the result will be get stored in r0. Similarly rsc for reverse subtract with the carry bit. Now you pause the video think and write the instruction to add r0 and r1 unconditionally and second to add r0 and r1 only when the 0 flag is set. Now to add r0 and r1 unconditionally we can write the instruction like this add r2, r0, r1 so r0 and r1 will gets added to each other and the result will be get stored in r2. Now to add r0 and r1 when z is equal to 1 write the instruction add eq now here eq is the condition now this eq condition will execute this instruction only when the 0 flag is set. So r0 plus r1 will takes place only when 0 flag is set. For arithmetic instructions next group is called the comparison instructions. Comparison instructions only update the condition flags that is why there is no need to set the sbit and the syntax for comparison instruction is first operation condition source operand 1 and operand 2. So comparison instructions can be used for different comparison like for the equality for less than for greater than and all these things. The different comparison instructions are the cmp which will compare operand 1 and operand 2 by subtracting operand 2 from operand 1 and result of this subtraction will not gets right anywhere only depending upon the status of the result of this operation the different conditional flags will be set or reset. Now cmn instructions it will take the negative of operand 2 and that will be gets add with the operand 1. And depending on the status of the result the different flags will be set. Now these flags like negative flag, 0 flag, carry flag, overflow flag all these conditional flags are located in the status register. Now the test comparison will perform the and operation then the teq comparison will perform the xr operation on operand 1 and operand 2. So as an example the two instructions are shown here compare r0 comma r1 so it will compute r0 minus r1 and accordingly the flags will be gets affected. cmn r0 r1 compute r0 plus r1 because the cmn instruction takes the negative of r1 and according to the status of the result the different conditional flags will be set or reset. Next are the logical instructions and the syntax is first there is need to specify the operation to be performed then the condition then the s bit to decide whether flag should change or not then destination register source operand 1 register and the second operand and different logical instructions in arm 7 r the first one is and which will perform the and operation between operand 1 and operand 2 then ur for xr operations orr is used to perform the orr operation on source operand 1 and operand 2 and the fourth one is bit clear instructions where the and operation will taking place between the operand 1 and negative of operand 2.

Captain, my captain. Some to be stirring in the shadows. Talk with eye in a tavern cellar. We must move quickly Here we go, so that's we can finally do that finally Here we go, come on load please The other side is hungry captain. I feel dark powers moving and at the edges of my sight I see I I Like the shadow of a vision the echo of a nightmare old scratch weights beyond him be working for my doom I and I do not know what to do captain. My mojo is no much for this We must talk to Vardima if she cannot help. I don't know what can be done Okay, let's go talk to madam vatima Vatima, let's go and continue this quest. Hopefully Hopefully things won't come up and pop up anymore. Let's go and talk to her. Hello a dark reflection. Hi I see He would have been if he had never joined your crew very dangerous Very powerful world of dreams is pushing into waking world Nightmare doors appear here and there where reflections of old enemies wait to break through You must face nightmare door on Isle of Bones Skeleton key will open door only your courage can stop what waits Isle of Bones that must be scrimshaw captain must seek this door Turn off shadows, but there's still a shadow there. It's great There's no sound which is kind of sad kind of said reacts only let's find this skeleton key door thing Oh look here it is. Hi Okay Are we ready? Let's just go in. I don't know if anybody else is gonna join us, but we should be good should be good We should be good Yeah, you should be good. Yeah, hopefully Hopefully hopefully we could we should be good. Oh Look at this. This is spooky. This is spooky spooky Okay in front dark shadow and who do house Sounds interesting things are not loaded in which is not cool. Oh, hello. There's old scratch right there Like right there. That's Old scratch isn't it? That's old scratch, right? That's old scratch, right? I'm pretty sure that maybe I don't that is old scratch Okay, let's open up the skeleton key lock basically the same as and was Same animation. You may now enter. Okay. Here we go. I'm ready Okay, hopefully we should be good. I'm gonna go for a rat bed this time. We'll see what that is Let's go. Okay. Let's go. Let's get it. Let's go. Let's get it So, yeah, let's try this third time's a charm.  We're gonna do a volcano Okay Gonna try and get our old scratch as fast as possible. He's level 80, which is not cool. That's pretty pretty high level Pretty high level. I think it is the highest level thing in the game a little lady Because I think smuggler's arena goes up to 79 Not that I've done smuggler's arena. So I can't like know for sure but still Not a not not a thing Definitely a thing to worry about I'm assuming he's still waiting for things to load. That was terrible. Can you okay? At least it left fire.  He does this every turn. So that's why I got the Someone's already elusive that is not good Someone's already elusive that's terrible Bone Drake all of them cool. Can you just take all that damage? So old scratch doesn't move which is not the best That's whatever really we're gonna go and try and charge old scratch real fast With rat bed because as soon as we've got rat bed old scratch down things should go a bit easier. I'm thinking Yeah, let's move up here Let's summon you there you can move up as well more mo you can come oh That's spicy we can go up here like that with rat bed. Just get right through there next round we will Next round what we'll do is we will go for full-out attack on Okay, he's got repel borders and first strike that's good We'll go for a full-out attack with rat bed on Old scratch like the bad old scratch not the good one that we have got the bad one And get that all done. Hopefully that should be good We'll do the knockback thing. I don't know what that is, but it does a bit of damage and stuff So we'll do that Yeah, look at that fantastic. He's just hitting it's fine He's just hitting this it's fine as long as we can start taking out some things around old scratch We should be good. We're gonna take a lot of damage from him probably So we kind of need to do it ASAP really is how this is gonna work So we'll see we will see Okay, here's some more mojo more mojo for us. So Okay, and some well good job nice fantabulous Fantabulous you think you fixed it. Okay. Well, let's join the call again and find out Hello fix it. I can hear you now Can you hear your own voice? Not at the moment I fixed it. Good job. Congrats. Did rat bed dino rabbit still there? Rat bed still there. Okay.  Holy moly I know that's because no one plays pirate Not that hard to be that Unfortunately said but true makes me feel happy though makes me feel happy though Oh, hello, okay. We're actually doing some damage. We're doing some damage. This is good Unfortunately, we're gonna get huge damage each round Is she even streaming was a one-on-one I thought she was streaming pirate today That's cute that's not what it's what I said, so that's funny Okay, let's go for a nice we We'll go for that You can do This I mean you're gonna die either way, so you might as well just do whatever you can do Old scratchy boy. We are gonna be doing this knockback thing boom Get that all good get that up in you still haven't fixed that bug Still the female sound not cool. I swear fast mode is even faster like Like this feels way faster than fast mode normally Okay, that's not good. He's nearly dead right bit is nearly dead. That's not good. Oh Spicy damages there fortunately not the best Okay You right hopefully we should be fine. I think right there might be dead Old scratchers note right bits alive, which is good He killed his minions, which is great. Don't you? We need to get a kill I swear fast mode is even faster than before like Well, of course, it's faster in slow mode, but before like Before like that's not good Does he damage all yeah Everybody which is not cool. I need to heal right bit, but he's too far away Which is he on the issue with him being far away and stuff He's at 121 health. That's great. Okay. I don't have a heal in hand Which is not good at all Let's do that more. No, you can do that as well Right better. I just want you to Go for a guaranteed critical strike because you're a gold This is legitimately all I have like if this doesn't work where it's through Why is this so fast? I know right? That's what I'm wondering like it feels like I'm watching a YouTube video And it's on double speed like that's how fast it's going because I generally watch YouTube on like double speed But this is just way too fast. It looks cool, but like it's so fast They must have changed that Unfortunately, it's giddy spaghetti not going wellie Ratbid's gonna die here unfortunately, but he did a decent damages Okay, that's cute Fosn is your everyone except um Okay, yeah But it does At least we as this is actually going better than before this is going This is going better than before which is good Like a lot a lot a lot. I really need a heal or something Not that I'm running out of health, but it would probably be good. I might have to move up here I'm kind of want to find a Low key really wanting to find a teleporty thingy mumboby Do Hicca. What's it called? Okay, we're gonna go up there. We're gonna move up there Let's go for muck of death might as well because we can Just summoning all of these things. We're gonna finish this. I think try using mojo burn. Yeah, I need to find that first And also I need to be in range of him as well, so yeah because mojo burn would be so good We're doing really well though. This is better than before Yeah, good job Good work old scratcher good Okay Okay, we're not doing too badly. We're not doing too badly. We do have to kill everybody but as soon as as soon as old scratchers out It's fine Honestly, that's how it works as soon as old scratchers did ease out We need to get ASAP I At least we're doing a lot of damage to him, which is good charming gaze. Oh Spicey nice. I don't know where that comes from, but nice I'll Okay Okay, here we go. We should be good. This should be fine. This should be fine We should honestly be fine here Hopefully there's just so many things though like legitimately so many things just as well fast mode is really fast because this would take forever otherwise Like honestly nice Look at that.  Look at that. Go boy Okay Mojo burn would be great if I could have it if I could find it that would be fantabulous Let's do that get some healthy boy back I want you to you need elf as well So that's not good You're basically going to die here. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna do this just because we can For now Gonna do this Done. Okay. Here we go Here we go We're just summoning all the minions all the minions everywhere. Okay. There's my health back.  Oh blocked. Nice. Okay. I think we're good. We got him out, which is great. So no more lots of damage Mmm, I mean this isn't going too bad. This is better than last time. We've got him out, which is good I'm definitely focus on him first would be my best thing I would say focus on old scratch first and then do the minions later because they can kind of Come later At least we got him out. So let's discard that I kind of want to do this for him But at the same time I want to heal as well. So we're gonna do that. We're gonna do this on him Because he's the healing boy We'll do that. Hopefully we can get as many of these people out as possible should be good Doing a nice weak healing boy mainly for mormo.  We're actually doing surprisingly well at this one. He credit, which is great That did decent. He's not gonna crit much as well, which is good. Bye. Farewell nearly farewell dust deep rim Okay That's why I said that's why I reduced his critical so I couldn't crit heals look at this charm. This is fantastic This charm don't know where it comes from, but it's fantastic. This should be the end of this fight. Hopefully The minion shouldn't be too difficult to get through. Unfortunately.  Yeah rip mormo rip mormo. Hi Tyler welcome Welcome Tyler Well, welcome. Welcome. Okay, we're getting off. We're going off and this this is great It's me you in spawns now. Yeah We should be good hopefully So yeah, we are currently doing test drum and pirate 101 Tyler since it was released today So if you wondered what it was, that's what we're doing title is pretty obvious, but you know Okay, cool. We've got a lot of spawns though. So we should be good. We've got a lot of spawns, which is fantastic One two three four. Yeah, just a whole bunch of them just everywhere kind of want to do this But also this will do more so we're gonna do that We are gonna discard a hurricane. We're gonna do this done They're just all gathering around me, which is kind of funny Kind of funny, okay, that did a bit of damage nice to a That's an absorb and a half for me, which is great Absolutely fantabulous He's doing a bath. Okay cheeky Mr. Neville interesting Fizzle unlucky Unlucky Okay, we should be good. We should be good. Unfortunately the spawns don't have too much health, which is not the best, but I mean Should be fine ish. Hopefully I might armor me In a sec because we are getting booty hit from all sides From everywhere every single wears we go dodge unlucky unlucky all the dodge not good not good at all All the dodge is really bad. Dodge is really really bad. It's not good Okay, can we Do something good Lee Probably let's find out. What do we have? We've got a lot of things around us, which is fantastic Um Kind of want to do this get some health back So we're gonna do that. We should hopefully kill as many people as possible. Let's do cookies For now just for fun because why not? Why not Okay for health again, which is good But in boom boom fun, I think you're broken again. I could hear myself again I think you're kind of breaking. Maybe I don't know I can hear you then It's weird. It's really weird. I think it's when I take my headphone off my ear Then you can hear it. That's weird probably It's really weird really really weird. Okay. I don't know what's happening. I'm just fighting dinos. It's a moment Days cool Okay, this fight is taking forever Whoo go cookie raid.  That's so sad when they die. They're like, no Just crumble into a million pieces. It's kind of sad sad reacts only Yep sure is Sure is He's a dead super gingerbread man. That's for sure. Um, you know when will this will be available? Um Probably Two or three week Probably as my guess we're gonna do that Actually, we need to start using up some of these let's just cut you and you We're gonna do you on him done Okay, there we go. Look at that We're doing well. We're doing really well better than I thought we would be by now. So It's fine This hop lights are not the best definitely not the best Unfortunately They're doing well, but not the best That was a chuchu and a half there Let's absorb those absorbs doing well doing really really well Okay, parting shot. That's not good. Yikes. You do those Okay, okay there, okay, okay then Who summoned the scorpions that was odd scratch odd scratch summon the scorpions. I am 99% sure or the Summoner which is this guy here was either this guy or old scratch I can't quite remember it must have been him. I think it was him Can't remember like a hundred percent off the top of my head, but one of those two Monsong is kind of good. So river is also kind of good Kind of want to do a little mojo burst.  Oh wow good job Okay, no mojo interesting cow's bane nice Mojo echo. Good job Fantabulous mojo rising patchoum job as rules boop Mojo echo boom Which doctors are Opie? This is like the longest I've fought with no companions Like can confirm that this is really weird really really strange Okay, we are just going off today geez We are going off. Hello. That's nice This is actually going really well, I'm surprised better than the other ones I wonder if they will ever give our which doctors a spell power buff. I Hope I hope so I really do hope so that would be really really good Because we could definitely use that and I wouldn't be stuck with using old scratch all the time Because he's not like the he's he's really good, but like he's not like the beast rip money Sidney. No Yeah because those are really Opie the Spell power buffs like they are really really good They are so useful. I think they would make which doctors even more useful than they already are But you never know you don't really get a new world anyways well Never know sky's the limit Sky's the limit. You never know. Okay, Davey Jones's locker not really interested in that not a fan of that one at all I Can hear myself again Okay, it's fine. It's just a bit weird and annoying, but it's fine. You can continue Anyway, I'm just saying it's a bit annoying. We're gonna do the level 15. He's not good, but it's fine Wee-hoo Andrews skeletal crossbowman nice Okay, that was interesting did some damages Okay, health for you healthy healthy healthy Okay, I wish these guys would move like honestly. They just stuck there doing nothing rip rip rip Dodge nice Okay, that was pretty good Rip pet. Oh, everybody's dying now. Which is not good. This is not good at all I mean they did come out with skeleton key bosses and I wasn't expecting that either that is true That is very very true. This was the last thing I was expecting skeleton key bosses It makes so much sense, but last thing I was expecting honestly Who knows what Kings I always planned who knows who knows Yep, definitely unpredictable Don't really like that one or that one I Mean we can do this. This will kill which is good. I'm how many more one two three four five left Let's go for Mark of Skull Island again Actually, wait. No, these are these are bad people one two three four five six seven eight eight left. That's not good Eight left nearly nearly all of them are dead nearly As long as we keep spamming out minions, we should be good. Okay. He's dead for sure. Yep. Bye Kgg that one's did as well nice for health. Good job Yep He's nearly dead, which is good. What is this? Okay, just stop spellpowering you. It's weird. It's weird really weird Thank you for charming him. Good job Ready spell dodge unlucky Unlucky Unlucky, okay, go scorpion go do it do your thing scorpion The dodge is annoying. I need to find some um, I really need to find some of these Summons that I have somewhere in my thing that I Have not seen any of these for so long though like what is this? Oh My gosh, I haven't seen this in forever like these spells like I never use these I'd never get this file low in my thing. So it's a bit weird. It's a bit weird for me.  I don't need to summon any more doubloons. We've got four left. So should be good here. I Mean it would make sense to have skeleton key bosses on Skull Island. Yes, very true very very true Sure was That was quite difficultly quite difficultly what is this will okay, that's whatever really That's fine. That's fine Okay, we should be good though. We should be good Hopefully I'll be getting a whole bunch of summons in a sec So we should be good most of my summons are right at the end Which is like not the best spot for them in this fight, but I mean it's better than nothing better than nothing We did make it look at this nearly all dead.  Um, I mean, that's probably the best thing to do Well, there we go. Oh Okay, he did some damage there Okay, we should be good. Hopefully Touch wood. We should be good He's nearly dead As long as he doesn't heal again, which would be really annoying really really annoying and then Hopefully we can finish off this look his child, which is great. He can go and kill this guy fantastic nice Oh, we got flinted here. I flint don't know Who does flint boy is but he probably won't be able to get in the battle too well Let's go for this Done Epic cat GG. He's dead. He's so dead super dead. Bye Okay, well just scorpion boy and we done look at that. I'm actually not now. We get all of these. Okay. That's cool Whatever whatever game that's cool Yeah, let's do this What are you afraid of is since they didn't release update notes yet They'll take it down later, but I hope that doesn't happen. I don't think so They did say that update notes will be released sometime soon I'm just gonna refresh and see if they've done it. It says complete update notes coming soon. I blame um I Blame um I blame Manderson. He's new there. He doesn't know what happens Doesn't know what's what it's like, you know, it's how it works Here we go. Here we go with the OP teleport OP teleportation trick. Yeah, okay. There we go GG GG nice work fan tabulous. Look at that amazing. Let's get that chest definitely All the gold I'm gonna be max gold soon, which is good because I spent a lot of gold reviving my companions Holy moly we did it. We did it amazing At least we know we can kind of do that's a bug. Did you see that? It is done captain. Let us return to a tavern seller. Oh, that was oh gosh, okay T-wave for help Is that this is all what the promo is about? Yeah, okay T-wave for help. No Problem. Let's go back to Skull Island. I mean we could have gone this way, but it's fine. Let's go and do this Blame Manderson is always blame the new guy. Well, it's his job. He's in charge of update notes. So I mean If he doesn't put up update notes, it's not my fault. It's his It's no one else's fault. He's in charge of that. What's the bug? Um, there was a Bugdom quest goal there. It was um talked to Quest goal comma underscore something this would be on my YouTube in a sec So I'm not in a sec after the stream sometimes. So yeah, you can see it there and I'll probably point it out, but Yeah That was a slight bug. Hello old scratch. Hi, dude My destiny my youth where there be one nightmare door War will come this be but the first I think we must find more skeleton keys and fight these Reflections until the threat of these dream shadows be lifted forever Gigi There we go. Look at that old scratch. What to see again. That was a bug there Skeletal shaman. Oh my gosh. He looks like a god Oh, what can we give him? What can we give him? What can we give him? He gets a new epic. Yay. What are we gonna give him? hmm Intuition strike once before magic attackers that could be kind of useful coward's bane Make a bonus magic attack if enemy disengages Counter spell to Kind of not really keen on that on coward's bane could be kind of useful witch hunter I might do witch hunter I mean, yeah old scratch isn't really my favorite But yeah, look at that fantastic. He looks like a god like we're gonna go outside and see him We got to go outside and see what he looks like Look at this. This is fantastic. I'm excited Let's take off our mount real quick And show off with pride how quickly we did that look at that. Oh my gosh. He's so cool.


The energy COSIA Carbon X prize was launched in 2015, designed to help develop technologies to take carbon dioxide emissions and turn them into products. The virus now reaching at least 105 countries. It is a pandemic at this point. In spring of 2020, by the middle of March, all of our teams were essentially shut down. Each team is having kind of a different experience, I would say. It really depends on where they are. New York City is the epicenter of coronavirus in the world. The moment I am in Angkor, the situation is here completely locked down. These teams are really motivated and want to push hard and do what they can, given the public health guidance that we have. People that like to solve problems, like to solve all kinds of problems, we can all do more than we think if we're presented with a challenge. Our team is now working remotely. Our engineers who have some equipment literally in the living rooms. Air Company is a really cool example of, I think, making the best of a bad situation. The background for Airco is we're a CO2 to ethanol company. That ethanol can be used for a variety of different products, including sanitizer. We've kind of turned our couch and relaxation area into a labeling station. Team based in China and India and Scotland, they have to come to the United States. That's going to be a challenge, getting visas, getting flights. We have also pushed harder to try to apply for US visa. So if nobody will get a visa, then we'll have big trouble. It's really unprecedented. I think keeping motivated and keeping engaged, it is a challenge. It's tough. I think it's a new normal for everyone. You know, everyone has their own set of unique challenges. Hold on one sec. Sorry, my kid is literally yelling at me. Having kids at home is a challenge in and of itself. Personally, I have a huge anxiety because one of our founders is older. So he is in a particularly vulnerable group. I am in Calgary, Alberta, and we're at our secondary site. So we got shut down at Shepard about three weeks ago. So this is where we were doing a lot of our work. There's a big question mark about what happens next. This is going to put us back six weeks, six months. I'm not concerned about the effects of the COVID pandemic on the carbon X price because we were ready to compete before and we will be ready to compete after. Climate change was the number one story before this pandemic, but it's going to be back. That problem is not going away. Climate change is not stopping, so we can't stop either.


Live from Washington, D.C., it's theCUBE. Covering.conf 2017, brought to you by Splunk. I think I've seen you guys every year. And welcome back here on theCUBE. John Wall is at Dave Vellante. We're in Washington, D.C. for .conf 2017. Splunk's annual get together coming up to the nation's capital for the first time. This is the eighth year for the show and 7,000 plus attendees, 65 countries. Quite a wide menu of activities going on here. We'll get into that a little bit later on. We're joined now by a couple of gentlemen, Michael Arcella, who is the Vice President of Engineering at Lassian. Michael, thank you for being with us. Thank you. Actually, as Director of Business Development. Oh, Director of Business Development. My apologies. Three's doing a great job. I don't need that. Very good. And Brooke Gavit, who I believe is the VP of Engineering and the Chief Software Architect at 4850. No promotions or job assignments. I've got you on the right path there. Good deal. All right, thank you for joining us, both of you. First off, let's just set the stage a little bit for the folks watching at home. Tell us a little bit about company descriptions, core competencies, and your responsibilities. And then we'll get into the intersection of why the two of you are here. So Michael, why don't you lead off? So at Lassian, in our simplest form, we make team collaboration software. So our goal as a company is to really help make the tools that companies use to collaborate and communicate internally. Our primary focus and kind of our bread and butter has always been making the tools that software companies use to then turn around and make their software, which is a great position to be in. And then increasingly, we're seeing ourselves expand into providing that team collaboration software products like JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket, and now the new introduction of a product called Stride, which is a real-time team collaboration product, not just for technical teams, but we're really seeing a great opportunity to empower all teams, because every team and every organization needs a better way to communicate and get things done. And that's really what at Lassian's core focus is all about. Gotcha. Brooke, if you would. So 4DF50 Labs, we're the software development and DevOps-focused subsidiary of Airstore Systems based out of Atlanta. And we focus primarily on four key partners, which would be Atlassian, Splunk, QA Symphony, and Red Hat. And primarily, we do integrations and extensibility around products that these guys provide as well as hosting, training, and consulting on DevOps and Atlassian products. I mean, so the ideal state in your worlds is you've got true DevOps, agile, infrastructures code, I'll throw all the buzzwords out at you, but essentially you're not tossing code from the development team into the operations team who then hacks the code, messes it up, points finger, all that stuff is in part anyway, what you're about eliminating and getting to value sooner. Okay, so that's the sort of in-state nirvana. Many companies struggle with that, obviously Gartner has this term bimodal IT, which everybody criticizes, but it's sort of true. You've got hybrid clouds, you've got different skill sets. What is the state of agile development, DevOps? Where are we in terms of organizational maturity? I wonder if you guys could comment. Yeah, I'll start with that. I think even though we've been talking about DevOps for a while and companies like Atlassian and Splunk, we live and breathe it, I still think when you look at the vast majority of enterprises, we're still at the early stages of effectively implementing this. I think we're still really bringing the right definition to what DevOps is, right? We kind of go through those cycles where there are buzzword gets hot, everybody glams on to it, but no one really knows what it means. I think we're really getting into that, truly understanding what DevOps means. I know we've been working hard as Atlassian to really define that strong ecosystem of partners. We really see ourselves as kind of in the middle of that DevOps lifecycle and we integrate with so many great solutions around monitoring and logging, testing, other operational softwares and things of that nature to really complete that DevOps lifecycle. And I think we're really just now finally seeing it come together and finally starting to see even larger organizations, very large Fortune 100 companies talk about how they know they've got to get away from waterfall, they've got to embrace agile, and they've got to get to a true DevOps culture. And I think that's where Atlassian is very strong. Devs have loved us for a long time. Operations teams are really learning to embrace Atlassian as well. And I think we're really in a great position to be at that mesh of what truly is DevOps as it really emerges in the next couple of years. And Brooke, people come to 4850 and they say, oh, you teach me how to fish in this DevOps world, is that right? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, one of the challenges that you have in large enterprises is bringing these two groups of people together. And one of the easy ways is to go out and buy a tool. I think the harder and more difficult challenge that they face is the culture change that's required to really have a successful DevOps transformation. And so we do a little bit of consulting in that area with workshops with folks like Gene Kim or Gary Groover, Jess Humble that we bring in who are sort of industry icons for that sort of DevOps transformation to assist based on our experiences ourselves in previous companies or engagements with customers where we've been successful. So the sort of cloud native guys, people who are doing predominantly cloud or smaller companies, tech companies, presumably have glommed on to this. What about the sort of, you know, the Fortune 1000 or the Global 2000? What are we seeing in terms of their adoption? I mean, you mentioned waterfall before. You talked to some application development heads will say, well, listen, we got to protect some of our waterfall because it's appropriate. What are you seeing in the sort of traditional enterprise? We see the traditional enterprise, you know, really embracing agile in a very aggressive way, right? And obviously they wouldn't be working with Atlassian if they weren't, right? So our view is probably a little bit tilted because the companies that engage with us are more open to that. But we're definitely seeing that be far and away the vast majority. And the reports that we get from our partners like 4850 Labs is that increasingly larger and larger companies are really aggressively looking to embrace agile, bring these methodologies in. And the other simple truth is with the way Atlassian sells our, with the way we sell our products online, we have always sort of grown kind of bottoms up inside a lot of these large organizations. So where officially IT may still be doing something else, there are always countless smaller teams within the organization that have embraced Atlassian or using Atlassian products. And then a year down the road or two years down the road, we tend to then emerge as the de facto solution for the organization after we've kind of spread through all these different groups within the company. It's a great growth strategy, a lot of trying to replicate it. Okay, what's the Splunk angle? What do you guys do with Splunk and how does it affect your business? Yeah, do you want to start? Yeah, sure. So we're both a partner of Splunk, a customer of Splunk and we use it in our own products in terms of our hosting and support methodologies that we leverage at 4850. We use the product day in and day out. And so with Atlassian, we have pulled together a connector that is, one half of it is a Splunk app that's available on Splunk base and the other part is in the Atlassian marketplace, which allows us to send events from Jira service desk, ticketing events over to Splunk to be indexed. So you have a data model that ties in and allows you to get some metrics out of those events. And then the return trip is to based on real time searches or alerts or things that you have, you're very interested in reports. You can trigger issues to be created inside of Jira. Yeah. Well, yeah. I think the only thing to add to that, so definitely that's been a great relationship and partnership. And we're seeing an increasing number of our partners also become partners with Splunk and vice versa, which is great. And then the other strong side to this as well is our own internal use of Splunk. So we, as a company, we always like to empower our different teams to pick whatever solution they want to use and embrace that and really give that authority to the individual teams. However, with logging, we were having a huge problem where all of our different teams were using a whole host variety of different logging solutions. And frankly, not to go into all the details, it was a mess. Our security team decided to embrace Splunk and start using Splunk and really, really got a lot of value out of the solution and fell in love with the solution, which says a lot because our security team doesn't normally like much of anything, especially if it's not homegrown. So that was a huge statement there. And then quickly, Splunk now has spread to our cloud team, which is growing rapidly as our cloud scales dramatically. Our developers are using it for troubleshooting our SREs and our support team for incident management. And it's even spread to our marketplace, which is one of the larger marketplaces out there today for third-party apps. And then the new product Stride for team collaboration is going to be very dependent on Splunk for logging as well. So it's become that uniform fabric. I even heard a dev use a term, which I've never heard a dev talk about logs since talk about log love, which is no PR. That is the direct statement from a developer, which I thought was amazing to hear. Because they just want to code and make stuff. They don't want to deal when it actually breaks and have to fix it. But with Splunk, they've actually, they're telling me they actually enjoy that. So that's a great feedback. So that's more than the answer is in the logs. That's, there's value in our logs. Right? Yeah, a ton of value, right? Because at the end of the day, these alerts are coming in and then we use tools like the 4850 Labs tool to get those tickets into JIRA. I mean, those logs and things are coming in. That means there's an issue and there's something to be resolved and there's customer pain. So the quicker we can resolve that, that log is that first indicator of what's going on in the cloud and in our platforms to help us figure out how do we keep that customer happy, right? So I mean, this isn't just work and just a task, right? This is about delivering customer value and that log can be that first indicator. Sooner you can get something resolved, the sooner the customer's back to getting stuff done and that's really our focus as a company, right? How do we enable people to get things done? Excuse me, when you are talking about your customers, like what are their pain points today? I mean, big data's getting bigger, right? And more capabilities. You've got all kinds of transport problems and storage problems and security problems. And so what are the pain points for the people who are just trying to get up to speed, trying to get into the game and the kind of services you're trying to bring to them to open their eyes? Right, I think if you look at the value stream mapping and time to market for most businesses, where Splunk and Atlassian play in is getting that fast feedback, the closer in to the development side, the left-hand side of the value stream that you can pull in key metrics and get an understanding of where issues are, that actually it's much less expensive to fix problems in development than when they're in production, obviously. And rolling things like Splunk that can be used as a SEM to do some security analysis on whether it be product code or business process early, rather than end up with a data breach or finding something after it's already in production. That kind of stuff, those are the challenges that a lot of the companies are facing, especially when the news, if you look at all the things that are going on from security perspective, taking these two products and being able to detect things that are going on, trends, any sort of unusual activity and immediately having that come back for somebody in a service desk to work on either as a security incident or if it's a developer finding a bug early in the life cycle. And augmenting your sort of infrastructure as code, the build out of the infrastructure itself, being able to log all of that data analysis and look at the metrics around that to help you build more robust, enterprise class platforms for your teams. We've been sort of joking earlier about how the big data, nobody really talks about big data anymore. Interestingly, Splunk, who used to never talk about big data, is now talking about big data, because they're kind of living it. It's almost like same wine, new bottle with machine learning and AI and deep learning are all kind of the new big data buzzwords. But my question is, as practitioners, you were describing a situation where you can sort of identify a problem, maybe get an alert, and then manually, I guess, remediate that problem. How far away are we from sort of the machines automating that remediation? Thoughts on that? Yeah, do you think it's the first step? You guys kind of did that first step. We've done a lot of automated remediation. It's closed loop remediation, you know, it's what you call it. And the big challenge is, it's a multi-disciplinary effort, right? So you might have folks that need to have expertise between network and systems and the application stack, maybe load balancing. There's a lot of different pieces there. So step one is you got to have folks that have the capacity to actually create the automation for their domain of expertise. And then you need to have sort of that cross-platform DevOps mindset of being able to pull that together in the coordinator role of let's orchestrate all of the automations. And then hopefully out of that, combined with machine learning, some of the stuff that you can do in AWS or with IBM's guide out, you can take some of that analysis and be a little bit smarter about running the automation, you know, in terms of whether that's scaling things up or when, for example, if you're in a financial industry and you've got a webpage that people are doing bill pay for, if you have a single website down or web server down out of a farm of a thousand, you know, in a traditional knock, that would be kind of red on a dashboard. And so it's high, it's low priority, but it's high visibility and it's just noise. And so leveraging machine learning, being able to do that in Splunk, to really refine what actually shows up in a knock, that's something that I think is compelling to customers. How are devs dealing with complexity? Obviously, you know, collaboration tools help, but I mean, the level of complexity today, versus when you think back at client server, is the orders of magnitude greater for admins and developers, and now you've got to throw in containers and microservices and the amount of data, is the industry keeping pace with the pace of escalation of complexity? And if so, how? I think we're trying. I think that's where we come into play. I mean, as this complexity increases, really the only way you can solve it is through better communication and better tools to make sure that teams have the right information at their fingertips. You know, the other challenge too, is that now in the world of the cloud, these teams need to be on 24-7, right? But you've got to kind of roll across the globe and have your support teams in different time zones, so you don't always have all the right people online at the same time to be able to address, and you can't always talk directly, so that's where having the right tools and processes in place are extremely important so that that team can know and know where. What did the team earlier do? How did they resolve this? Where's the runbook for this issue? And if this happens, how do we resolve it and how do we do so quickly? I think that tooling is key. And also too, this complexity is also, as you guys were talking about before, being solved through some automation as well, and we're increasingly seeing that to where if this occurs and a certain thing occurs, then JIRA can automatically start to trigger some things for you and then report back as to what it did. And you're going to see more and more of that going forward as these models become more intelligent and we can redeploy, or if capacity is low, let's pull back resources and let's not spend all of this money on cloud computing platforms that we may not need because utilization is low. You're seeing all of those things start to happen and JIRA as that workflow engine is that engine that's making those things happen in either an automated way at times or just enabling people to communicate and do things in a very logical fashion. As ecosystem partners, how do you view the evolution of Splunk? Is it becoming an application platform for you? Are you concerned about swim lanes? I wonder if you could talk about that. Yeah. I personally, I don't see any real concerns of overlap between Splunk and Atlassian. And our view at Atlassian is we tend to work very closely with people that kind of fit into that front of me category and they're definitely a partner that we overlap with, I think, in very, very few ways. And if and when we ever do, in a way, that's kind of something we always embrace as a company. One thing we'll say a lot is overlap is better than a gap because if there's a gap between us and a partner, then that's going to result in customer pain. That means there's nothing that's filling that void. I'd rather have some overlap and then give the customer the power to choose how do they want to do it? I mean, Splunk says you could probably do it this way. Atlassian says you could do it this way as long as they can get stuff done and that's always, it's not a cliche from us. I mean, that's a core message from Atlassian. Then we're happy. And regardless if they completely embrace it our way, a little bit, a little deviation, that's not what really matters. Too much better than too little. Exactly. That's what it comes down to. Gentlemen, thanks for being with us. Thank you. We appreciate the time today. I look forward to seeing you down the road and looking as your relationship continues not only between the two companies but with Splunk as well. Definitely. Great, thank you guys. Continue to Cube does live from Washington DC here at .conf 2017. Back with more in just a bit.

Hello and welcome back to the rugged rockhound today. We got some more rocks to cut for you guys. Let's get into it starting off with some of the bird's eye and It's a one of those ice cream cones, but the tip of it broke. It's too bad This is that orangish yellow one that I found out I was with the family Out of the that new agate spots. I think it was birch Creek Yeah, finally got it cut open actually I kind of lost it for a little while and had to find it Yeah Not particularly exciting interesting So when I was out at the Dugway Geod beds My the subscriber I met out there gave me these two agates that I think he said came from Minnesota And I can't remember exactly Somewhere around there and I cut them open That one was just full of quartz that grew all towards the middle This one was a little better. It had a little bit of banding in it I mean if you really look closely, there are a lot of bands in there. They're just so similar in color. They're hard to see Very interesting Here's some material that comes from the mine out by out at clay Canyon.  There's some more clay Canyon That one's very nice. Look at all that So much going on there Very pretty. Here's some more clay Canyon. Oh very nice lots of chambers in it This is pretty typical of the area to have chambers like this Here's some more clay Canyon very yellow.  We got a little bit of blue in there Nice Here's some more clay Canyon Pretty standard a lot of yellow Nice little dugway geode here thin one. Oh Yeah, that looks pretty nice Not too bad Just love the patterns that you get in some of these Here we have some Picasso marble. No, not the best just a little bit right in the middle. That's good Interesting Here's some more dugway.  It's so cool Here's some more Vernon Wonderstone Do That's beautiful, isn't it? All those eyes everything going on Such cool stuff Here we have some more petrified wood it's thin little branch and Okay, it's not too bad. It's got a little bit in there a little bit of color and pattern Okay, not too bad. This was a long thin piece of Wonderstone. I decided to keep just because of that and Look at the inside of that. See even little thin ones are amazing and There's so much material out there. Yeah Vernon Wonderstone is great. Oh That's so cool. There's some more Vernon Wonderstone It looked really good on the outside and after cutting it so I had to cut it several times Look at this one Look at those colors and patterns beautiful Next one Isn't that stuff so amazing? It's so pretty and the last one It's just stunning stuff, isn't it? Beautiful It's a little piece of petrified wood didn't look very good on the outside and It's a little better than the inside. It's darker. It's a little bit of red Not too bad Here we have some more of the replaced bearite from Cisco Yellow Cat Okay, not too bad definitely had better Still it's pretty neat Nice little thin piece of agate here. Oh Look at that. It is very clear and there's some cool stuff in there So I bet if you grind it down a little bit or maybe grind off the back Could be really cool Here we have kind of a Strange piece of agate or Jasper or something Whoa Wow, look at those textures and patterns in there colors aren't good But it is very interesting Here we have some more petrified wood That's actually very nice. Look at that. They're red in there some nice patterns Very cool Nice And for the final one today, this is some azurite and malachite that I found from a copper mine I can't remember where or when but I cut it open and Look at it It was full of azurite It is beautiful. Oh Man Need I'd love to go find more of this. I just don't remember where I got it So pretty though And there you have it some more really good stuff Made me remember some of the places I've not been to in a long time that I need to get back to and make some videos for you guys I'll get around to them eventually until next time. Remember there is treasure everywhere


1.8 Napa kwa ta kutulia Miha mmbu kwa parlamit If you had seen my kwa shtuwez kwa the first kupunda because I was very aggressive after nambu kumulefiwa mbilukui kwa kula tifia kwa mawa So na 1.8 tibakuita it's not 1.8 it's less below even 1 million they tried to go at right till they felt so obviously they are very bitter now 1.8 tibakuita I will aid you to differentiate between wrong and right this is prime tv very good example in pf where was this today this is the station that they are confronting if ya tum praband ule pupu ule pupu untengu kwa kuera na kumutan kwa posta kumutan how do you come down now because these people prime tv they are not foolish like them they have allowed them kwa manosambira kuchipu and that's another name let's hope they have lent it the mess that they created this is what we are fixing the mess that was created talk about it naturally upon the new allowances I mean they make up a pif if you are a weshia puti parifiaku and open up a weshia 2nd what I believe is we are napsa sure I am a bank someone who is a bank here when your man is doing the doctor he is trying to napsa but he is not going to give up but he is not going to give up because that is your mani so if you are sad look but no because this is your mani 20% of people say what is wrong with that I so come with you also now talking nonsense that you are sad if you are going to napsa if you are going to napsa what is the point if you create a mess if you are sad you get a issue and nobody pina we paid them pensioners you couldn't pay them we have paid them so in almost everything you are a mess that they created if you are not to the best they should do though they will not do is to appreciate what you are doing but we don't care as long as there is a mani people able to see what we are doing there is a lot that we have done in the one year 80 months compared to our colleagues what they did in 10 years if we are given 10 years then we will not be the same ourselves so they should just shut up and not stop telling them to shut up because these are the same people we need to mess this country up


Aiden or entity 48.  The creature is really smart and apparently it knows a ton about the back rooms and its levels and he'll try to protect the wanderer at any costs. And there isn't just one Aiden. There's multiple Aiden's but they all have like a shared consciousness because if you meet one Aiden and then you find a different one that Aiden will also know all the things about you that you told to the other one. So it's pretty cool. He'll follow you to different levels. If you want, all you got to do is ask. All Aiden's have been seen defending wanderers from entities and rescuing them from traps. So to me, I mean, he sounds like a pretty stand up guy. What else can I say?


After having looked at some simple work interactions, it is time for us to look at the thermodynamic definition of work. Before we do that, it is necessary for us to study what we mean by operational definitions. It is necessary to look at this because our thermodynamic definition of work will be a proper operational definition. The idea of operational definition was first proposed by Professor P. W. Bridgman, a well-known physicist, Nobel Laureate and a person who works significantly in thermodynamics and in the physics of high pressure. His books, The Nature of Physical Theory and The Nature of Thermodynamics are classics and those who are interested in the history of physics and the development of the formulations of physics should look up these books in an appropriate library. The Bridgman's idea of operational definitions which we will adopt is like this. An operational definition allows us to decide whether some item X is applicable by using a procedure and a procedure is defined as a series of operations which one can execute and these operations will finally tell us whether X is applicable or not, end up with yes, no. Let us consider the operational definition of a system. Now suppose we are given X, something, is X a system from the point of view of thermodynamics. What would be the operational definition? We will ask ourselves, question 1, does it define a region in space? Question 2, are all its boundaries properly defined in three? Hence, does it have a definite volume at any instant in time? Well, if the answer to all these question is yes, yes, yes, then yes, X is a system. This would be the operational definition of a system. Similarly, one can have operational definitions of a process, operational definition of a state, operational definition of many other things which we come across in physics. Thank you.


In your reading about rock crystal in the Islamic tradition, you would have seen one of these photos and read briefly about early rock crystal lamps prior to the Islamic period. So these are works that were made in the Near East prior to the rise of Islam. So prior to about the 6th century, 6th, 7th century CE, this is a fish shaped lamp and you can see it reflects that traditional association between rock crystal and water by depicting a fish and then of course it takes advantage of the light magnifying properties of rock crystal to be used as a lamp. And as I understand this lamp would have been used of course any open flame would have been particularly dangerous and hanging open flames were especially dangerous but what they would do is they would fill the basin that you see here on the underside of the fish with water and then there would be a thin film of oil on the top and that's what would actually be lit. You could also have sort of a vial of oil inside of a basin of water. And so the idea is if this gets knocked down the water is going to extinguish the flame thus preventing a very dangerous fire situation. Here's another early lamp and here we have sort of a bowl shape of rock crystal with projecting relief sculpture that is sculpture that is attached to the surface that it's on as opposed to sculpture in the round and these sculptures depict fish and shellfish so I think you can see the spiraled shell that is just slightly to the left of center to the left of that you can see the tail and part of a fish that's kind of turning on one side of the lamp and then there are other sea creatures projecting on this. This particular lamp is set within a later gold frame that would have originally had jewels on it and like the previous lamp these are both in the treasury of San Marco in Venice. I was given the permission to photograph there which is kind of unusual, I was very lucky. But this again kind of continues in that association between rock crystal, pure water, celestial water and light and that's something that we're going to see taken over by the Islamic religion and pushed in a very particular way just the way that the Christians used similar associations between light and water and rock crystal in their works of art and particularly purity and rock crystal. Just briefly here's another view of that same lamp except we're looking at it at about a 90 degree angle from where we were before and here you can see that fish I was talking about directly ahead of us. So it is kind of swimming upside down it looks like with its tail out and apparently some lamps were actually placed as bowls upside down. I'm not exactly sure precisely how these worked but this one might have been used that way originally and then as you know it is now in a later framework and you can see that framework a little bit better in this slide. Here's an actual Islamic lamp and this one was not made for a mosque but it was in fact made for a royal patron and the inscription in Arabic around the top of it refers to the patron and wealth and prosperity. Again the framework holding this is much later it was brought to Venice and turned into a vessel for the church a covered cup but here you can see again that wonderful clarity of the rock crystal you can see I think you can appreciate just how expensive this work must have been because it's an almost flawless piece of rock crystal with only a few small imperfections running through it and you can I think you can appreciate when you look at the details I have on the right the almost liquid quality of this very hard brittle material. In the video interviews that you watched with me discussing techniques with Elise Moreiro an experimental archaeologist at Oxford one of the things that she was describing was the way that rock crystal ewers which is what we're going to be looking at next were formed and once the general overall shape of the ewer was formed then it would be drilled into to start to hollow out the actual vessel and so the slightly blurry diagram that I have on the left shows you how a tubular drill and this could be something as simple as sort of a copper pipe that you would get in a closed or home depot today would be used to drill a tubular opening into a large piece of rock crystal. At the top right what you're seeing are actual examples of tubular drills used in India in the rock cutting industry there and then the diagram that you see on the right shows a tubular drill being used and what you need to know is that it's not the metal that's doing the work here but instead it is some sort of a grinding abrasive powder and in the Islamic world in the 10th century CE when works like this were being made that could have been something as simple as sand which is silica or it could have been something a little harder like corundum which is a type of garnet it's possible perhaps that they could have used diamond powder that's really more of a modern grinding medium and in fact in her experiments researching the techniques Elise Moreiro actually tried different types of grinding powders and was able to identify the marks and different types of powders used for both grinding and polishing and so that's why I listed the three possibilities of sand, corundum or a diamond powder Historically and even today artists tend to be very frugal about their materials particularly when they're expensive and in the Islamic world we have no exception the fatimid crystal workers who made works like the Ewers were going to see took those tubular cores and used them to make smaller vessels and that's what I'm showing you here in the center and right of this particular slide they would make little bottles out of those tubular pieces that were cut out of larger vessels and those in turn would be drilled with a tubular drill and then you would get something that could turn into an even smaller bottle or possibly a bead for jewelry the central bottle is very much like the types of bottles that you might purchase in Fatimid Egypt back in the middle of the 10th century and on the right you can see another such example and here it's been incorporated into a reliquary cross in a German treasury a lot of the surviving vessels that we have from Fatimid Egypt were brought into western treasuries in many cases by crusaders sometimes they were given as gifts sometimes they were souvenirs from people who traveled widely and then purchased them and gave them later to churches but these were considered precious in the Christian tradition because of all of those associations with rock crystal and they were reused here's a great few views of one of those rock crystal bottles and I'm showing you some detailed views of it so that you can see where the core of it was drilled out you can get a sense from my fingers here in my gloves that it's slightly thicker than a human thumb and so you could actually get a much smaller bottle one that might be sort of pinky finger sized out of the core from this and then from that small bottle you might be able to take cores and cut them into beads you can also see some of the really delicate carving on this particular bottle and I want you to recall what Elise was telling us about the ways that these pieces would be cut and we'll talk about that in a moment here are two of the rock crystal ewers that belong to a group of rock crystals from Fatimid Egypt that are considered the Magnificent Seven they are of unparalleled workmanship and take a look at these each one of them stands about 10 inches tall and is just worked with so much precision and detail you have relief that strongly stands out from the surface behind it you have really elaborate scroll work and designs the piece on the left that you see is in the Louvre Museum in Paris and it came into the Treasury of Saint Denis a very wealthy Abbey church outside of Paris probably in the 12th or 13th century the piece on the right is in the Treasury of Saint Marco in Venice and most likely came to Venice during the Crusades we're looking at a third you were here this one's in the Victorian Albert Museum in London and on the right I have a diagram that Elise Moreiro made showing what would have been sort of the first working version of something like this initially the rock crystal artist would have cut and drilled into the rock crystal on the surface sort of the general areas that would be raised up in relief against the regular surface of the ewer so these are the so-called eyelets that stand proud of the surface of the crystal and stick out a little bit more I hope this slide maybe clarifies things for you and you might want to go back and re-watch some of the video clips with Elise Moreiro discussing these techniques after you finish this video here's a close-up I made of the ewer that's in Saint Marco in Venice and I just want you to notice how much we have here we're looking at sort of the feet and the tail of that lion on the ewer and I want you to notice how much that projects from the surface of the crystal so we truly do have some fairly high relief and then that's carved into using a grinding wheel to give dots and lines and show areas of contour and pattern on that particular lion we're back to the general view of the ewer in Saint Marco in Venice and a detail view showing the head of that lion and again you can see just the sheer quality of workmanship here and all of the fine details and just imagine the difficulty and the expertise that this would have required because we're talking about again probably brittle medium one that is very hard to find in these really nice size chunks that are really really clear and without many major imperfections in them this particular piece of crystal is really brilliantly clear and one wrong move and the entire thing would be lost think about how many failures the artist must have encountered along the way before he or she became a master of this material this is the last example that we're going to look at and this is another ewer that is also in Saint Marco in Venice and it's also part of that group called the Magnificent Seven this particular one features rams on it and I want to make a little note here about how these objects would have functioned as far as we can tell from the inscriptions on the surviving ewer many of which do have inscriptions these were meant for royal use so they probably would have been used to hold water or wine or some other type of liquid and again that association between liquid and light and crystal would come into play in that case and of course the wonderful qualities that rock crystal has when responding to color of course in the Christian world when works like this were captured or brought into church treasuries by whatever means these would be used as precious vessels to hold substances like holy oil possibly wine for communion possibly holy water and also in the case particularly of the smaller vessels small pieces of the saints called relics and relics were very very important to the Christian tradition in the Middle Ages we're going to close with just some closer looks at this ram on this ewer I want you to notice all of the linear detail that decorates this relief image of a ram you can see lines delineating the horns giving us a sense of fuzzy hair on the muzzle and on the chin dots giving us the impression of curly wool on the body for example and we also have similar lines on some of the plant forms here in this detail we've zoomed in even a little bit closer and this is that plant form kind of close to the ram's head and what I'm showing you in the detail view is a microscopic image that was made when Elise Moreira was doing her research and in it you can see how the grinding wheel was used to cut these lines and some of that overlap you can see is just a product of using a wheel of a particular depth or breadth when grinding I hope you appreciate these amazing vessels as much as I do I think they're truly spectacular
