Hey everybody, JR Fisher here. Happy Monday morning. Looks like it's the 30th of August and we are live from, I guess, Austin. I'm really in Georgetown, Texas, but it's about 20 miles an hour. I want to welcome everybody. Do me a favor, post in that chat section there. If you can hear me, make sure that, you know, the volume is good, that you can see me, all that good stuff. We're going to be talking about a subject today that you have to know if you want to make money online. This is a subject that you 100% have to know if you want to make money online. So you're going to want to stick with me. It's all about building an incredible reputation or social presence or whatever you want to call it from your brand. Building really an unstoppable brand. And I've done this. I've done this with our survival food company. We've been around for over a decade now. We've sold millions of dollars of products. I've done it with my JR Fisher training brand. My wife's done it with her dog training. So stick with me today and I'm going to walk you through what you're going to need to do to have this brand, this social media brand that everybody's going to want to buy from. Tyen, what's going on? Good morning. Yes, I can hear you. Thank you so much, Tyen. I know I'm changing up my schedule a lot. I had it set at a certain time in California. Now I've switched it and I'm kind of gaining the audience back and switching things around. I know Saturday we had a great meeting and I'm going to try to go live every single day this week guys. I'm going to be talking about actually building a list and cultivating that list and emailing that list and selling products of that list and upselling that list. So from Monday through Friday of this week, I'm going to cover all those steps that you need to do. So we won't miss a thing. If you stick with me for the next five days and I'll get the other things posted. I just don't have them posted yet. Stick with me for the next five days and you'll know how to do all these steps. Now the first thing I will tell you is that to start building the social media brand, you've got to set up your social media. Okay, this is the first thing you've got to do and it's got to be professionally done. So you can't just see you. Yay, look forward to it. Okay, that's cool. You can't just say I'm going to do social media. You've got to have whatever branding set up and they've got to all match. So let's say you select YouTube and you select Facebook and you select Instagram. I'm just going to pick those or Twitter or whatever it is. You need to get branding for each one. Each one can have a picture at the top. It's going to have your logo, all those good things. So my suggestion to you is get somebody, unless you're really good at this, to come up with these logos, these brandings for you so that your Facebook looks like your YouTube that looks like your Instagram. They all look the same. Okay, it's all the same brand because it's really confusing if they go to Facebook and they see a certain type of branding and logo and all that good stuff and then they get over to YouTube and it's entirely different. We don't want that. Oh, something else I did forget. Make sure you subscribe if you haven't done so. Give me a thumbs up on this video or you just click that button down there. Make sure you subscribe. There's a banner down there to subscribe. You want to click that and turn that into a gray banner because it's going to be red. And then what you want to do is you want to ring the bell, turn all bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live. You've got a branding expert that is helping me. That's great, Ty-Ann. And that's good if you can find somebody out there. I don't know if you necessarily need a branding expert, but you definitely need somebody who can do your graphics, your banners, so that, you know, because this is like a different size for Facebook. It's a different size for YouTube. It's a different size for Instagram. So you want to make sure all those things fit well. And you also want to check them on mobile and desktop. I think a lot of people will tend to set up their artwork and it's all done for desktop. Everything's done for desktop. And the problem with that is it's going to look different on mobile. As a matter of fact, you would do better off to set everything up for mobile because that's where most people get their information now is from mobile. They don't use desktop. Now I'm using desktop right now to do this live training. However, you know, I pretty much use mobile all day long for everything. And you probably do too. So that's the first thing I want you to think about is you got to get all these platforms set up. Now, when you're doing all these platform guys, the main reason people go to these platforms is to get useful information. And guys, I forgot to tell you, you could post any questions, a tie-in is doing it, any comments in that chat section over there. This is live now. Of course, if I say that and it's recorded later on, you're going to go, well, it's not live. Okay, well, it is live right now. But if you're watching this later on, it's a recorded version of this, which will be the same thing, but it will be live. You can post in the comments section, you won't be able to post in the chat section. Right now in the chat section, I can actually type back and chat with you, which is pretty cool. So anyhow, you've gone to somebody and they've set up all of your artwork. They set up one for Facebook and YouTube and, you know, Instagram or Twitter, whatever it is. Once you've set all those things up, you have to have a plan and your plan, no matter what your business is, no matter what it is, your plan should be about 90% or 80% content that is going to be useful to your viewer. And you got to know who your viewer is, who your listener is, who is that person that's getting information from you. What do they look like? And what I mean, and I don't mean physically what they look like, but I mean, what age are they? What part of the country are they? What do they do? What are the platforms they're on? What groups are they in? Those are the things you want to know about that audience of yours. And once you know these things, this part here is probably the single most important thing to building your brand over and above everything else.  And this part is customer service, customer service. You have to start thinking about customer service way before you ever sell anything. I mean, way before you sell anything, you've got to treat people as if they are gold and they are gold, because these people are going to pay your bills, they're going to provide a profit for you and income, you've got to treat them as such. And you can't say, well, I'm going to blow off this one person because I just don't like them. You're not going to like everybody. That's how that works. You're not going to like everybody, but you have to treat everybody with incredible respect. You have to give them super quick service. So if somebody contacts your company, you don't go, okay, I'm going to contact them tomorrow. No, do it right now. Do it right now. When people see that you contact them, you know, let's say somebody posted 10 a.m. and at 10.01, you're contacting them, they're going to be impressed. They're going to go, wow, this company is on top of stuff.  People like small companies. People really enjoyed you. I know I don't like dealing with a big company. If you were trying to call your cable provider or your cell phone provider or the electric company or whatever it is, it's not fun. It's not fun at all. It's much nicer to be able to find a company and I send them a private message on Facebook or, you know, on Instagram or whatever and be able to talk back and forth with them. So this customer service thing, guys, is so very important and you're going to lose money in customer service.  Some people are going to take advantage of you. Some people are going to want refunds that aren't due refunds, but you've got to just do it.   But the point is you want to have impeccable customer service. You want to take care of people like nobody else does because in the beginning, that's the biggest thing you have as customer service. You're not competing because you have a huge audience against all these other people because you probably don't. What you need to do is really, really, really, really take care of people. Now, did I mention that you should take care of people? I mean, you should do it to the nth degree. So what we've done so far is we've got our branding, which is going to be a logo and our banners and all that stuff set up. We've decided that we're going to do an incredible customer service. Now, you've got to figure out how you're going to do incredible customer service. The way we do it is we have an 800 number. People can call us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We don't always answer, but we have voicemails on there. They can also email us. So I have training at jrfisher.com. I've got info at survivalkfood.com. So they can send emails to any of those places. In addition to that, I have a chat box that they can send us a message. Now, we're not live on the chat box, but they can send a message and I use a cartridge, which I'll tell you about in the end here, but that is built into cartridge where I can put a little chat window on any web page I have, on any property I have, on any sales page I have, and that person can go to that chat box and it has two parts to it. In that chat box, when they start typing something in, there's a frequently asked question in there. So they may be asking something that you've answered a million times. You need to develop a frequently asked question box. Now, in the beginning, you won't have as many FAQs in there, frequently asked questions. The reason being is you don't know what your audience is going to ask that much in the beginning. However, as time goes on, you want to keep adding to this FAQ, because you're going to have more and more of the same questions. Now, the reason for having that FAQ is it saves time and it more quickly gets those questions answered. So, if I have an FAQ and it's talking about, let's say, the shelf life of a canned meat, which is a number one question, everybody else shelf life of a canned meat, I'm going to have that in the FAQ so that they don't have to send me a message. It's not necessary for them to send me a message and for me to get an email and for me to answer back, because it's asked all the time. So I put that in the FAQ so I can say, you know, when they start typing in about shelf life, it's going to pop up and it's going to say, did you want to know about the shelf life of a canned meat? And that way I can explain to these people and talk to these people and get across to them what the shelf life is and I don't have to have a message going back and forth. So that's really, really important guys that you set that up. So that is step one is how are you going to set up your customer service? How are you going to interact with them? Are you personally going to do it? Are you going to have a staff that's going to do it? You know, what kind of automations are you going to use for that? You do need software to do a lot of this stuff guys and I highly recommend Cartra. At the end of this, I'll tell you where you can get a link for Cartra. It does all your email marketing. It does your sales pages. It does everything for you. Digital marketing wise, it does everything for you. I'll show you how you can get that for only $1. But you can watch a video and see what it does absolutely free without a credit card or any of that stuff. And I am an affiliate for Cartra and I'm very proud of that. Cartra is one of the best digital marketing softwares in the market, bar none. So anyhow, not to get on my soapbox about that, but I really love Cartra. So what we've done so far, let's recap. We've got our branding done, which is going to be like our logos, our banners and all that. We've decided on what social media platforms we're going to be on. I am on probably four of them. Only two of them do I really push that hard. And that would be Facebook and YouTube. But I'm also on Instagram. I'm also on Twitter. And I occasionally use those. And I don't use those as much as I should. And you know, here's the problem that I see for a lot of people who sell stuff online. Success kills motivation.   But success can kill motivation because when you've got a lot of money coming in every single day, it's hard for you to go out there and work on new things and develop new things and add stuff and you know, do all these extra things when you've already got money coming in. It's demotivating to have money coming in. I know you think, no, no, that would really motivate me. It does to a point. And then once you've got way more than what you want, I'm not what you want, which you need coming in, it can be kind of demotivating because you don't you don't have that motivation. You're not worried about paying your bills. Don't worry about paying the rent or any of those other things. So you got to be cautious of that. And I have to struggle with that every day.  And you know, quite honestly, I didn't need to, but I want to help you guys out. I want to see you guys be successful. I did a live on Saturday and Susie was on there. I don't know if you're on here today, I'm not Susie, but I met her, you know, guess in the beginning of the pandemic, right before the pandemic started, and she was a masseuse at a science parlor.  Okay, anything weird. And I talked to her about starting her own business. And she put those things into practice. And she now has a couple of homes and she's super successful and is doing really well. So the thing is, will will that will that success hurt her motivation a little bit? Sure, it will. Sure, it will. You know, having a little bit of success can hurt your motivation. It can, you know, drive down your drive a little bit if you want to put it that way. So okay, so that's what we've done. We've got our branding. We've decided we're going to be on, let's say, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, don't try to do all of them guys. Don't try to do all the social medias. You can't do it. It's just too much too, too, too much because you've got to provide content for all these social medias. That's going to be our next step. And if you are trying to do all these social medias, it's going to be near impossible for you to do what you want to do. I mean, unless you're Gary V, who has an entire staff of probably hundreds of thousands of people at this point, you know, setting up the social media, you're not going to be able to do it. So the next thing you're going to need to do is you're going to need to develop content, content. What is content?   You're going to develop a website. I would recommend having a website. I know it's a pain in the butt. I know it takes a lot of time. I know it takes a lot of maintenance, but having a website can be very, very helpful. Let's say I'm going to use Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Awesome. All very good, Ty-Ann. I'm not a big LinkedIn person. I've probably got thousands of requests in there right now. I've never even responded to, but that's okay. That's not my thing. My thing is Facebook, YouTube, and primarily YouTube. That's what I double down on is YouTube. Right now I'm doing a live video now. Once you've got to decide all these things, and I said your website, so your website, it's going to need to have content. It's going to need to have content, and this is the next key, guys, to doing any content. You need to do it on a regular basis. You need to do it on a regular basis.  It's not going to happen. They expect fresh content. They expect new content. They expect usable content. When you're doing your content, don't always tease them with a little bit of stuff and say, but if you want to get the really good stuff, you're going to have to pay me for my course. Don't do that. Don't do that. You would do better to take some of the best stuff you have and put it out there, and then sell them your course with all the rest of the details. I think that's an excellent plan when you're planning your content. Have some of the best stuff you do, and that's what I try to do. The best stuff I do is going to be my free stuff. That's it. If you want my very best stuff, you don't have to give me any money. However, if you wanted to have to implement a lot of those things and you want a detailed path, then I would highly suggest you buy one of my courses because in the courses, it's going to walk you through all that information I give you in the free content. But in the free content, I give you a lot of information. A lot of people take my free content and build entire business, and they do very, very well. Let's see. What is your take on YouTube shorts? Use them along with side, more normal vids or just shorts. You know, I've seen the shorts tie in. I've seen some of my favorite content creators use them. I've seen some of my favorite content creators entirely ignore them and not use them. I personally, now this is just my way of looking at it, don't think they're useful. Here's why I don't think they're useful. If somebody wants shorts, they're probably going to go to TikTok. That's where they're going to want to have that. No more than I would put a 15 or 20 minute training video on YouTube or excuse me, on Facebook because they're not going there for that. I think you have to make content that fits the platform. What I've seen a lot of platforms do is they try to be everything to everybody. Facebook's going to try to get into videos and try to steal some of YouTube's thunder and audience by doing videos, but people on Facebook still don't want to watch long videos. They just don't. People on TikTok are there for quick, short, exciting little videos. I don't know much about TikTok, but I know everything's kind of short and fast and I don't know how long they are. I think it's like YouTube is saying, hey, TikTok seems to be really popular, so why don't we just put that on our platform? The problem with that is when I go to YouTube, I don't go there for those short videos. I just don't go there for that reason. The reason I go to YouTube is to probably learn something or be entertained, which is the two things. It's entertainment or education and it's weighted more towards education, probably 60% education and 40% entertainment. But those are the two reasons I go there. So a short is not going to cut it for me. Not for me personally. Now I could be totally wrong and shorts are going to take over YouTube and they're going to be everywhere. I don't think so. I just don't think so. But that's my opinion. We'll have to wait and see. The court's out on that, right? When we see the results, we'll vote for sure. Right now, shorts have not taken over the regular videos. I think if you go into YouTube right now, you need to go into it and use it as the platform it is right now. And the platform it is right now is eight to 10 minute videos. That doesn't mean you can't do a 20 minute video. Like right now, I'm probably going to go 10 or 11 minutes and I'm going to give longer content. This one here is going to be a 30 minute video roughly. And it's designed to teach you how to do certain things. And I can't do that in two or three minutes. You know, eight to 10 minutes is a little bit shorter, but that's my recorded videos. So all my recorded videos are usually eight. Well, I'd say probably 10 to 12 minutes is where I fall in the recorded videos. Now understand YouTube, since we are talking about YouTube, wants you to make at least an eight minute video. They tell you to make eight minute videos, which is really funny because they've come out with these shorts, which you can't make an eight minute video. Okay, they're not designed for that. But the reason they want to eight minute videos, you got to understand the way, the only way that YouTube makes money is through ads.  And when those ads are put in there, you're sharing in the revenue. So I get, I don't know, what is it 65% something like that on ads that run on my videos. So for them to put enough ads to make your video profitable, they needed at least an eight minute video. If they have an eight minute video that can put maybe four or I don't know, five ads in there, and they can make some money on your video. If you're making two or three minute videos, they don't have enough room in that video to run ads in there to make money. So you've got to kind of think of what, what is the goal of YouTube? Why is YouTube around, you know, how, what can I do to benefit YouTube? That should be your goal when you're doing these things guys. There's two things you want to look at. Number one, how can I benefit my audience, which is primary. That's primary. You know, what content can I do? What education can I do? What kind of entertainment can I do that's really going to benefit my audience? What can I do? Number two, what can I do on the platform that's going to benefit the platform? If you hit those two things, benefit of the audience, benefit of a platform, you're going to do really well because that's, you know, those are the two goals, right? You're going to satisfy your audience. You're going to satisfy the platform. Then you come third, you know, your third, your third in line here. First is the customer, second is the platform, third is you. So when you're making your content, that's how you have to think. Now, I've talked about your branding. I've talked about putting all these things and all these things and selecting your platforms that you're going to do. I've talked about consistent content. Now, what is consistent content? Consistent content is where people can expect certain content at certain times for you. So I do lives and I do lives. I do them in the morning. During the week, they're usually at 9am, my time, whatever my time is, you know, my time in California was different from my time in Texas. We're two hours different now. So I lost some audience, but I also gained some audience by doing it at a different time.  You just got to do that. Doesn't mean you can't switch and then go to Monday through Friday or switch and go to Monday, Tuesday, but you got to be pretty consistent because it's like if you were watching the television show and you really like this television show, it comes on a Monday night at seven o'clock and every Monday you watch this show and it's Monday night at seven o'clock and then all of a sudden they do it on Tuesday at 7am and then the next week they're on at Friday at one o'clock in the morning. You would be like, I can't watch this. I can't do this. And that's what happens to your audience with all these platforms. When you post whatever content you post, it's got to be posted at the same time on a consistent basis. And that's my last leg to that was not my last leg. I got one more leg to this branding thing we're talking about. But when you're posting content, like I said in the beginning, this is 80 to 90% of your content should be educational or entertainment. 80 to 90%. In other words, not selling anything. Now, mine is to the point where I'm probably 95% free content at this point, it's pretty high 95% free content. But I've made enough to where I want to give back to you guys and I want to teach you guys how to do this. I don't need to sell as much. But I would say you could sell probably in the 10 to 20% range somewhere around there.  The last leg of this is always be selling that's that's the ABCs, I guess it is always be selling C and something like that. But you should always be selling. And here's what I mean by that. Every contact you have with a person, let them know what you do and how they can get more information.   This is what I market. Here's my, you know, website. Here's my YouTube subscribing. Why don't you go ahead and subscribe right now? I did the same thing with my wife. I said, Hey, she does dog training. Do you have a dog? Oh, yes, I do have a dog. Oh, you're going to want to check out her channel. You're going to want to check out her group. So you always need to be selling. And some people said, Well, I don't want to do that with friends and family and people just meet. Well, then you won't be that successful.  You are always on. No matter who you meet, no matter where you go, that could be a potential subscriber. That could be a potential customer. So open the conversation. You know, when I, when I talked to the HOA representative, I said, Do you have a dog? And she looked at me like it was crazy. It's like, Why are you asking me if I have a dog? And she says, Yes, I do have a dog. It's a recipe dog. It's awesome. Well, that's great. That's awesome. Hey, here's my wife. She has this website. She has this group. She has this train. She has this YouTube channel. You need to check it out. And she was genuinely interested. Now, here's what most of you are thinking. What if they aren't J.R.? I'm going to be totally embarrassed if I bring out that I've got this platform and they're not even interested in it.  So what? So what? You got to quit worried about what everybody else thinks. If you want to build this platform guys, and that's what stops a lot of people on content too, they're like, Well, I can't write that. What if somebody makes fun of me? I can't do that video. What if trolls get ahold of it and they start laughing at you? So what? You got to quit caring about that. The only person you need to care about is you and your audience. That's it. You and your audience. Trolls will always be out there.  They just do. I get trolls. I don't even care. 99% of the time I just totally ignore them and they go away because what they really want is attention. They want somebody to interact with them. And I kind of feel sorry for those people because they don't have anything. You know, all they've got is picking on other people's stuff. They don't create. They destroy it. And that's how they live their lives. So the last leg of this guys is always be selling, always be selling ABCs. You have to always be selling no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing.  I don't care if you meet somebody at a grocery store. I don't care if you're shopping for houses. Tell everybody what you do. That's the best way to get the word out. You say, well, J.R.,  I mean, I'm going to get maybe two or three here, one or two there. That's how it's built. It's built one subscriber at a time. It's built one viewer at a time. It's built, you know, one interaction at a time. That's how your social presence is going to be built. And tomorrow I'm going to get into, I think I have a list building for tomorrow. I got to check that out. I will post in YouTube what the subject matter is going to be for tomorrow. But it's going to be this progressive kick talk. It's going to be this progression this week of selling online and all the steps you need to take. So we're going to do five 30 minute training sessions on all these things. Now today I talked about all this and I want to run you through the steps again. You've got to have logos and banners that all match. You've got to pick the social platforms that you're going to want to be on. You've got to post content on those platforms that matches the platform. And Tyen asked about the shorts on YouTube. I don't think it matches the platform. I don't do them. If you want to do them, do them. See what happens for you. Maybe it works for you. I don't know. But you've got to decide. You're certainly not going to be monetized by doing the shorts because you won't have enough views. But you've got to decide what you're going to do on it. The next thing you have to decide is your schedule and how often you're going to do that. You also have to decide what mix of content you're going to do. How much is it going to be free? And how much is it going to be offers to people? And I would highly recommend you not doing all free and then once a year doing a offer because all you're going to do is upset your audience. If you train your audience that 100% of the time I do free stuff and then all of a sudden six months later I'm like, hey buy a course for $1,000. They're going to be mad at you.  So I'm mad at you now and I'm going to unsubscribe. That's generally what happens.  I've got stuff for sale. It's in the description below. You can check it out if you want. However, I'm going to give you free content but about 10, 20% of the time I'm going to try to sell you something. I'm going to try to get you on my email list.  It's really good training that you can use that you can follow through a progression and get results. Is that fair enough? And most people are like, yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, I'll let you email me. I'll let you send me some stuff every now and then because most of the time you're giving me free stuff. So they understand that's the trade off. That's the trade off. I'm going to give you all this free stuff. You give me your email and I'm going to email you every now and then about stuff I got for sale. Fair enough. Fair enough. And I do that on a regular basis. So I may send you some emails during the week to buy some stuff but I may spend hours during the week giving you free training. So that's the trade off. Now this channel here is building and by the way, don't forget, if you haven't subscribed, please hit that subscribe button. I know a lot of you guys didn't see this live. You're probably watching this afterwards. Hit that subscribe button. It's red. Turn it gray. Don't forget to ring the bell. Turn all bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live or it upload a video. Right now I'm uploading videos Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And on Saturday I'm doing a live. I'm starting to add back my lives during the week. This week I'm going to try to do Monday through Friday, give you some good content every single day of the week so that you can build on this and get results. And that's what I want to do this week. Tomorrow I'll have another one set up and the next day and the next day and the next day so that you have this good content. If you like what you hear guys, I've taken you through a lot of information haven't I? And we just got started on selling online today. But I've taken you through a lot of information. If you like what you hear, put a comment in there. Let me know. Say JR, I like this or I didn't like this. You know, let me know what you want to learn. If you want to do that, share with me in the comments in the chat section. What are your successes? What are your problems? I love helping people out with their problems. I get emails all the time. I assist a lot of people with problems. If you're sending me a problem, make sure it's specific. Sometimes I'll get an email and it's like I tried to run ads and it didn't work. What am I supposed to do with it? I just tried to sell this product JR and it didn't work. Well, where did you sell it? How did you try to sell it? What did you try to do? You know, you've got to let me know these things because if I don't know these things, I can't possibly help you out. I can't do it. Guys, I really appreciate you being here. I'm going to go ahead and get out of here now. I think somebody is at my front door. It's looking that way. So I've got to go answer that front door. And I think I have a repair guy, which I've been waiting for, oh my God, this is the repair of people where we did kill us right now. But I've been waiting for that for so long that just not doing what they're supposed to be doing. Anyhow, I'll talk to you about that later on. Guys, thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it. Don't forget to subscribe. Don't forget to ring the bell. Give me a thumbs up of this video if you like it. Send me some messages and show up tomorrow at 9 a.m. I'll be here again. And that is Central Daylight Time, I believe it is, CPT, they call that. So convert it for your time. We're an hour earlier, an hour later on the East Coast, and two hours earlier on the West Coast. And everything in between, you've got to calculate. Thanks so much for being here, guys. I'll talk to you real soon. See you later.


So, so far we have looked at the epidemiological signal like Sharon said and we've also been looking at the genomic signal comparing different lineages and their growth rates together and it does appear that B117 is indeed growing faster. What vaccine manufacturers can do is they can actually produce like a pseudo virus in a test tube in effect to see whether a neutralization of antibodies can actually neutralize those particular variants. And so there are vaccine manufacturers who are doing that at the moment for the new variants and they can also see if the new variant is neutralized. So there's recent reports from vaccine manufacturers to look at neutralization of the variants that we're worried about including the one that was first detected in South Africa. And we'll see from a larger population you know if that efficacy will probably be a little bit lower after two shots and it'll probably be lower after a single shot as well. I think it is important to generate a robust and immune response in vulnerable people which is even more difficult for medically vulnerable for the elderly. Their immune response isn't as strong as adults. Luckily with the vaccines that have been granted authorization the immune responses seem to be okay but again it comes back to that critical question.  You may have heard about the reproductive number the R number in the media quite a lot over the last year and it does look like during the lockdown in November other lineages had their R number drop below 1 but for B1 on 7 it dropped but it stayed above 1 and then of course in December it searched again after the end of the November lockdown. Now that we know especially with these new platforms sort of well newer platforms such as MRNA I mean the key things about clinical trials and before you put a vaccine on the market is you need to know it's safe you need to know it's efficacious and you need to know that it's been produced to high enough quality to give you that safety. And we know that now for the vaccines that are on the market so there's there's less of a risk of going back in and making a new vaccine to a new antigen. So that has taken away some of the time that's required for you it's likely that we will still have to it's more than likely that we'll still have to have at least phase what we call phase one clinical trials to show that this new vaccine with our new antigen in the vaccine will induce the immune responses that's required against that new variant and also look at safety as well. So natural selection will favor the virus that results in the most on your transmission so therefore all other things being equal the virus that keeps a host infected the longest will win out. So if we assume that transmissibility is correlated with virulence then the more transmissible the virus is it will kill hosts earlier and therefore have lesser productive success. So then that results in selection for a transmission virulence trade-off and so that might result in the virus becoming more B9 but doesn't necessarily result in becoming just less and less virulent. This is such a fast moving field that what we say changes very quickly but certainly there are there are good systems in place to test variants to see whether they are neutralized in the test tube but it comes back to actually testing that again in real life. So doing the clinical trials looking at how people respond whether they're protected from infection after having been vaccinated but this is a huge area of discussion and work at the moment to see whether we need to have an ongoing program of tweaking vaccines and then testing the variants that arise.


What's your funniest or most memorable moment from filming? I think the camaraderie between the group of us blokes down in the dugout, like in the dark dingy dugout where we spent most of our time. It was pretty pretty good generally but there was one particular day where we'd asked to add a bit of spice to the soup that we were insisting on, like forced to eat time and time again. It was Stephen Graham who specifically asked for that chili sauce to be put in but it got a bit too hot so there was a lot of us throughout the scene like trying to maintain our cool and eat it quickly because we were hungry but then the farting you know started and we were in a very confined space so as you can imagine the it was just you can't help it with chili sauce it's just it's a nightmare so i'd say that was probably a very memorable day one that i hope to forget. We actually laughed a lot i'm not sure if i have one particular one but i did discover that Toby Jones is probably the funniest person i've ever met so yeah and Sam is very funny as well. Sam said there was a lot of farting. Yeah i've only just discovered that actually that must have been like that was clearly something that was just happening amongst the actors but yeah that we were locked in a tiny little tiny little room so there was there was no escape from anything mostly we just bumped our heads because the ceilings were so low. So you've got a lot of fans what's the funniest fan interaction you've ever had? I was proposed to on a carpet and the young girls who's lovely lovely girl but her family were there to kind of be witnesses it was a bit i mean but she literally put a ring on my finger it's the wrong finger so technically i'm not married and we never kissed you know to like properly and i never personally said i do i was a little wowed but i'd say that was that was probably the strangest


Hello. Today our topic is seamless migration from novel network to Neutron in eBay production. My name is Chen Yuan. I'm from eBay Cloud team in Shanghai. Hello, everyone. I'm Han, and I'm very glad to be here. Share our story with you. Thank you. Okay. So this is our agenda today. First, we will give an overview of eBay Cloud environment. Next, we will give details of migration steps. I will introduction the control plane part, and Han will give the data plane migration and post-migration introduction, and finally, we will do a demo about this novel network to Neutron migration. Okay. This figure shows our original for the network environment. This right side is open-stack controller nodes. These are quite normal. The phone on this left side are all novel computer nodes. In eBay, we also call them high-fizer nodes. As we configured them as novel network might host mode, so you can see that there is a novel network process running in each computer nodes. Also, there are several DNS mask queue process are running in the computer nodes. They provide the DHCP service for all the local VMs, and all the VMs are running in the bridge mode. In Forzen, so the Linux bridge are used. In our configuration, there are two interface for each VM. Each of them connect to one Linux bridge. So this is Forzen environment. This figure shows our target environment of Havana. All the, from this right side, all the open-stack components shall be migrate to Havana, and Neutron service running. In addition, we also have SDN controllers there. We are using VMS and XX as our SDN controller. For this novel computer side, we can see that there is no novel network running, no DNS mask queue, and also Linux bridge is not there. Instead, we install the open-v switch, and all the existing VMs are still using the bridge mode, but this bridge interface all migrate to open-v switch bridge interface. So this is our target. Here, I will give some description about how do we do the control plane migration. First, we still keep all Forzen open-stack controller nodes there. Meanwhile, we will set up Havana open-stack controller nodes, including Keystone, Nova, Glance, Neutron, Reptm, Q, MySQL, all these stuff there. And then, we will create another set of nodes for NSX controller. And for the NSX part, we need to first create transport zoom. The transport zoom is one concept from NSX. Actually, it's just for underlayer network connectivity. And so actually each hypervisor interface must belong to one transport zoom so that the SDN controller can understand the topology of the whole underlayer network. So that's why we must create this transport zoom there. And also, we must do the hypervisor registration to the NSX controller. This is the first step. And next step, we must do the DB migration. And for Keystone, Glance, Nova, this is quite simple. We just export the database from Forzen and import them into the Havana and do the DB sync. Next part is for Neutron. As we know that there is no Neutron DB in the Forzen part, but we still need to migrate all our network conversion from Forzen to Havana. So we need to read the network information, actually, from our not DB table networks and fixed IP tables. Then we call Neutron subnet create these APIs to import this information to Neutron DB. So then actually this has done all network and subnet creation from Forzen to Havana. So after network and creation, next step, we need to do port creation. Once it must be noticed that as the VM has already running, the tap device is there. So when we do the port creation, we must not touch anything in this hypervisor. We don't need to create a second, sorry. So we don't need to create a second tap device. So for this purpose, we actually enable fake driver in our computer for this purpose. Then we start the port creation. For port creation, we get the MAC address and IP information from the Forzen database. And then we get the network ID and subnet ID from Neutron database we just created. And after we get this port information, we call Neutron API create port and then attach this port to the VM. So this port information has been in NeutronDB and NovaDB. And also, this information are in the ASX controller. And we can see that as the fake driver is there, so actually OpenStack controller actually doesn't do anything in the high-five side. High-five side still keep the same. Okay, last step is about secure group. In Neutron, actually it's an ASX plug-in. It will create default secure group with self-reference UUID for ingress. And the purpose is to only let same-tenant traffic in. But as we are migration from Forzen to Neutron, we need the compliant previous network firewall rules. So we don't need to have this limitation. That's why we update the secure group for each port. So we only have this simple rules to allow our traffic there. And this is all part for control plane part. Now we go to data plane. Hand please. Thanks, Chen Yuan. Okay. For data plane migration, it has to be done for each hypervisor node. So for this is one hypervisor as an example. So for hypervisor node, data plane migration means moving the live traffic for all the VMs running on this hypervisor node from the Linux bridge to the OpenVe switch. So how many of you have been using OpenVe switch? Could you raise your hand? Okay, great. So our goal is moving to OpenVe switch so that we can use S-team controller to control all the flows. That's our goal. And the requirement now is, or the key point is seamless. So our topic is seamless. Seemless means we need to migrate flows. We need to ensure the connection downtime as short as possible. So that's applications running on these VMs, at least impacted. That's our requirement. So the first step, we just do the preparation steps. We install the OBS package. And now we can just remove the VM interface from the Linux bridge. So if you ask for the command, it's just a biocontrol Linux bridge command. Please stay forward. And now the connection for all the VMs has been lost. Please note that in this picture, it's just one VNet interface. But actually, it means for simplicity. But it means for all the VMs, each VM have a type device to connect to the Linux bridge. So you can start counting. So see how fast we can restore the connections. And we just renamed the name because we are moving from Fossum to Havana. It's a harmonic name convention. So we just renamed the interface name. And then we can just remove the field interface from the Linux bridge. And now we can remove the Linux bridge. And it's kind of module. And then we just start the OBS service. So you might ask why we didn't start the OBS service before cut the connection. It's because in our environment, doing this migration, we are using Red Hat, the hypervisor running Red Hat. We have Ubuntu in other environments. But for this task, it's Red Hat. And we have two versions. The old version is Red Hat 6.3. And the new version is 6.4. So part of the hypervisor running 6.3. Others are running 6.4. But for 6.3, there's an imitation of Mesh and Linux bridge cannot be running at the same time on the same hypervisor because of a Linux kernel API complexion. So that's why we do it. So this is for 6.3. This is the worst case, right? For 6.4, we just start the OBS service before cutting the connection. OK, now we just set the integration bridge. The integration bridge behind is supposed to be controlled by the SDIN controller. And the BR0 is corresponding to the Fedoc interface. In our real environments, there was two Fedoc interfaces. But for simplicity, it's only one listed. And then we just attach the Fedoc interface to the BR0. So for the hypervisor, the connection is now restored. Sorry, just moving the host IP and also the routing entry for the default route. OK, so next step is add the VM type device back to the OBS switch. So what happened now? Is the connection restored? OK, yeah. Why? Because, yeah, right. So no one can just send or receive traffic until the SDIN controller says so. But now we don't have a controller. So the next step is that's the SDIN controller. In our case, it's ASX. So what happens in this step? Firstly, hypervisor request through OBS DP request to the SDIN controller. And as mentioned by Chengyuan in the control plan migration, we already created the already registered hypervisor to NSX. And we already created the bridge collectors. So NSX controller now knows that this hypervisor is up. And we are just going to configure it with the, you can see this collection between the BRINs and BR0. It's a patch interface being created by, it's instructed by the controller. So that's a bridge to connection can go through. And also, if you notice that there's a Newton-Party UID when we add the VM interface. And this is a very critical information. So also in the control plan migration, we already created Newton-Part. And the part UID information has been populated to the SDIN controller through the NSX Newton plugin. It's in the NSX database. And now we have the same information, Newton-Part UID attached to the OBS. So OBS has already populates information through OBS DP to the SDIN controller. So SDIN controller knows, OK. So this port is alive on this hypervisor. And it's just calculate what kind of flows to be pushed down to this hypervisor for this port. So now for all the VM ports on these hypervisor nodes, they have flows. Then traffic connections are restored. So how long did it take? Maybe 10 minutes? We are using scripts. So in our real environments, our production environment, it's about three to five seconds. I think it's OK for most of our applications. And it really depends on how fast the NSX controllers react into the OBS DP connection. And how fast it just calculates the rules for the port. And your connection latency between the hypervisor and your SDIN controller, that's the factors for the speed. Maybe I should also mention that this is for the bridge mode. But this solution, the same solution can be applied just for overlay. So if it's overlay, in control plan, you may just set up not the bridge connector, but the tunnel connector, STT connector or VX9 connector, whatever. And this step, when OBS DP connection is requested, SDIN controller will just inform, instruct the hypervisor to set up the STT tunnels or VX9 tunnels. So the steps are very similar. And after this, we're not done yet. So we need to be prepared for the, for example, the network service restart on the host or host restart. So we need to configure the if config interface configuration files so that the OBS information is there. Next service restart, OBS bridge will be started for this interface. And if you're using bound to just a different location, that's similar. And you need to be prepared for the next VM reboot. So this is a lip-wrapping. What we did was just moving the interfaces from Linux bridge to the OBS bridge without telling the lip-wrapping. But the lip-wrapping is one supposed to manage that. So we just need to update this configuration file. The standard interface is verse-defined. You update the interface, the XML configuration file with the virtual part type, open-source parameters, neutral part UID. But this is not enough. Because lip-wrapping configuration takes effect when you start the VM next time. So for the runtime information, it's still not updated, even if you execute this command verse-defined. So our solution is just like a hack. We found just updates runtime XML file under this viral-run lip-wrapping directory. And you can just restart the lip-wrapping service and it will take effect. Without this, what will happen? So when you shut down the VM, lip-wrapping will not know to clean up the job for the OBS port. So the OBS port information is not cleaned up. And next time when you start up, when you are trying to start the VM with lip-wrapping, there will be a confliction and you will fail. That's why we did this. And this is very important for us. OK. So real back, this is very important. You don't want to be surprised. So no matter how confident you are, you need to always be prepared. Because you never know what happens. Maybe it's just drifting. A high-priority is drifting configuration or some configuration you never expected. Or maybe something bad happens when you're trying to start the OBS service. You don't know. So the key is just be prepared. And fortunately, the steps we described before just can be reverted step by step. It means you can just detach the VM interface from the OBS and shut down the OBS and bring up Linux Bridge and attach interface to the Linux Bridge again. That's all the work. But you need to make this all automatic. You need to detect if the migration is ongoing.  And so you don't have to be panic when something happens. So we are all adults, right? OK. So Chen Yuan will give you a recap. OK. Thanks, Chen. So before the demo, let me just summarize all our steps in one figure. And here, this is all the environment with Fawzen. So first, OK. We shut down the Fawzen network and Fawzen novel computer, then start the novel computer, also with Fick driver first. Then control plane part and the port creation will be done. Then install the open V-switch as the hand has described. So next part is the data plane. Remove the interface. And then finally, just join the bridge interface. And then create the open V-switch bridge interface. Attach to the TAP device and then attach to ET2.0. And set messages to an SX controller and then those BI intent, BI0 are connected, finalized. And at this time, the traffic is working now. And finally, we need to update some files. So prepare for next time VM reboot or hypervisor reboot, so not break the system. So actually, our major migration code is just to cover all this part. As a database, the migration is not covered here as a database is just one time work. So when it's down, all other hypervisors migration actually don't need to do it again. So here, our scripts just focusing on migrate one hypervisor here. OK, so, sorry, one question. Yeah. Fred DHCP, you mean the Fawzen? No V-line mode, actually. For Fawzen, it's a neural network microhost mode. And I think the DHCP at the very beginning, you can see. Yeah, Fred DHCP at the very beginning as the DNS mask queue is running on each hypervisor. So it's Fred DHCP mode, I think. OK, so let's go to demo. Actually, this environment, we've already done the control plane part. The database has been migrated. So Fawzen novel DB has migrated to neutral. So in this window, this command line, this window command line is for Fawzen. So we can just turn over this. OK, we can see there is one virtual machine running on the hypervisor. And OK, it's IP address is <IP_ADDRESS>. And as this is Fawzen, so we can see that Neutron service is not there. OK, as we have already do the DB migration, so we can see here. The novel list can still work in here. But please be noticed that network information is empty as we don't do part creation and don't know part attachment here. OK, Neutron part is also not created, so this is empty. OK, so this node NC003 is the hypervisor node. So we can see that the one KVM instance is running here. And it's using the Linux bridge mode. So the type device name is vNet0. And OK, we just ping the VM here. OK, so VM can be pinged from outside. We keep it there. Now we start the migration code. It's just the same as the figure described. Now we start the migration script. And first is the control plane part. So it need to get the part information from Fawzen and then do this part create work in Neutron. And then go to the hypervisor, do bridge interface, detach, and also do this IP routing, this migration work. And here is the uploaded OpenVswitch package and the install OpenVswitch package. And just notice this pin to VM. So the VMs is still pinnable. So you can notice how long the traffic is broken. And maybe still need to wait some time. It's installed the packages. Lovers. Yeah, we can see if we can get successful. Now I think everything is passed. And this is 6.4, so we don't do the removal. Yeah, now this is done. So I think the pin is still working. So very short, you don't even notice how long the traffic is broken, as it's 6.4. So it's more easy than 6.3. So almost no traffic broken. As the SDN environment is also simple, as we only have one VM. Yeah, it's in our lab. This is not. Not to the real production, but this is a lab demo and here we can see OVS. Okay, naturally all of the Vswitch interface are created and the TAP device, yeah. The TAP device has been renamed and attached to the BI int and the VM is still working. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions? Yeah, please. Sorry? Code. Code is still internal. But if you want, maybe you can just post it from to GitHub or something. Really to discuss with the company. I think it would be okay. Okay, we will upload the slides to somewhere and publish. Yeah, sure. Yeah, please. Now the computer actually has been, for Havana version has been done before. Yeah. Your stuff for migrations? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll prepare. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Sorry? Rough. How many? Yeah. High-fives? Yeah. Okay. So this is actually, we do this verification in eBay production in several nodes currently, just running several nodes in one rack. As the whole migration plan actually is postponed as the shopping season is coming. So if we stop this whole migration process, we will do after the shopping season. Yeah. Actually, this has been verified in the production environment so everything goes smoothly, so. And the environment for this is nearly 1,000 hypervisors. Yeah. Yes. Sorry? Yeah. MACDress actually is a bridge mode. So when the, actually in the frozen time when it started, the MACDress has been allocated. And during the migration, we reuse the same MAC address. Yeah, actually we don't change anything for the type device. We just detach from the Linux bridge and attach to the OBS bridge. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's all for today. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Thank you.


i gydwydion eich gweithio o'r bwysig yn y 21 €. Og eich storfiad yma yn yr oedd yma i gweithiwn o'r cystafell sy'n eu cyfreithio. Ac mae'n gwybod yng Nghymru'r ysgrifennig heref. Mae'r ddeindig. O hynny, ychydig o'r eich bod gyfan. Mae'n gyfan'r eich bodigech jeddyn nhw. Eich bodig o'u gwahanol a'r felly mae'n ymgyrchu. Os ydym yn gyntaf wahanol ac y trofnodol yn gweithio'r bobl yma!  Felly, I don't say why you dance nicer, I give you a little more money, but not real money, not sufficient money to really grow. I just to keep you busy and keep you separated to make sure that I Mr Evil can pursue my course. This is pretty much a situation we are in at the beginning of the 21st century. We are navigating on charter territory. We've been through the great acceleration where all our indicators, giving us a picture of the world, go through the roof, and we know that all the old stories which helped us to navigate the last 10,000 years, the legends, the moves, the kings and queens and all of us, what is still served in things like Game of Thrones, do not sufficiently help us to navigate the 21st century. We live in a world where systems have grown into a size and into a character based on emergence that we know that the whole is different from the sum of its parts, and stories helping us to navigate the sum of parts are not the stories that help us to navigate power of context and emergence. And this is why we think that systems, system sciences, cybernetics, complexity theory, chaos theory are fields worth exploring. We hope that we get new maps from there to help us navigate the challenges of the Anthropocene in the 21st century. Second focus I'd like to invite you to is pockets of the future. And there's a group around from the Centre for Complex Systems and Transition from South Africa, Rika, Tanya, Dion, you'll find that. They are very much driving the idea to know that, or to understand that we're not preparing for the one future that's coming, but that they are multiple futures, that they are scenarios, that future is a word that should actually be used in the program. There are futures out there which hands back the responsibility to choose and to prepare for the most desirable future back to the present, back into our hands. With that comes the responsibility we want to live up to. And we already see pockets of that desirable future in the present. And we have a lot of presentations, workshops, keynotes that share these kind of pockets of the future we'd like to meet. We'd like to get closer and get a feeling for and see a better future, a more desirable future is possible and already exists, not largely, but. And the third focus I'd like to invite you to is to explore or further your idea, our collective idea or systems change, and to think change beyond a multitude of projects. And to understand systemic change, to understand leverage points or mind shift, to understand that it is not only the achievement of a project that brings about change, it's not so much a matter of getting things done as a matter of letting things grow. And this is where ecology, as a science comes in, that informs us much more about how to create the context and the circumstances for those futures we want to see grow, flourish, thrive. And not so much operating in an engineering frame, building futures is like building bridges, buildings, infrastructure. Yes, there has always been that part of it as well, but that is not the part that is bringing us the future. At least not the future, it is all about. And the other part of it is next to systems change or understanding more about change, understanding more about governance, systemic governance. And to go back to Canterman and think fast, think slow. We all know that in politics it's all about emotions, it's all about this fast thinking part of it. Yes, on the other hand, cognitive part, thinking slow, thinking things to their end, embrace the complexity, map the complexity, build systems that serve life on the planet is something that you do not with a rush of emotion, but something that is worth investing some degree of slow thinking. End, that is my last point for this part of the introduction, understanding power of structures. Peter Sengian is fifth discipline, came about with this idea of structure, behaviour and results. If you want to have other results, if you want to see different things in the world, it of course has built on a change of behaviour, a change of behaviour is nothing that you sort of hammer into people or their people into by playing to their emotions. The most sustainable way of getting that behaviour or change is in changing the supporting structure, organisation structure processes and to have a look there as well, not only being on the emotional side. Although we know how important that is, having the other part, the systems, the structures, the cognitive maps in our focus as well. So this is the invitation for this conference to explore exactly that, exploring the unknown, looking for pox of the future and further on understanding systems change.


Greetings my esteemed subscribers. Apparently I was wrong. What the tune is the king of money? It's not the king of rats as I surmised in the last episode and to redeem my poor French we'll have to perform better in the gaming aspect of this This game so I'm just gonna jump down and kill this guy. Boom Masterfully done gonna loot him as well for a good measure and we have can sabotage this Interact and we saw in the last episode something happens if we Sabotage the chimneys so we can find another chimney to sabotage as well And there we have another Republican I Think they actually are Republicans to Revolutionaries of some sort at least and there we have the other Places sabotage. I'm just going to wait until they Get out from this place unless I could murder them both at the same time. All right, let's see ha this Oh right That didn't go according to plan, but we'll have some action here in this fine episode and I will Continue talking about The fact that I've opened a Q&A thread over on patreon so if you want to ask a question of some sort you can head over there and I will try to Respond tomorrow or the day after that To all of those questions I was actually going to make a regular video today, but The lights moved me again or rather darkness. It's gets Dark so early in Scandinavia this time of year so that is why I Opted for a let's play this fine day instead Now we have Touched to Chimneys. I had to do it was only reasonable course of action if they only had Left me alone. It wouldn't have happened, but Noted. Okay.   It's always aesthetically pleasing thing to do Boom Okay, so we have to get in there somehow and How to do that is the great question we need to answer this fine day Can we go down here perhaps And can I get him as well? Ah, I have to kill him the old-fashioned way Thought I could get a another assassination but It was not to be I have some more book reviews incoming as well among others the Celts by Peter Paris Ford Ellis I Have it lying next to me or at at my computer Per the recommendation of my friend survive the jive now, let's see if we can Assassinate this pale orc or these pale orcs rather aha the two All right quickly now No almost like the tieboxing either Speaking of which I do intend Train some good old Brazilian jiu-jitsu later tonight up That would be my training for the day yesterday. I did some good old squats. I did Four sets of 12 repetitions at 140. I am not really used to doing that high volume that many reps especially for squats only Well, I've mainly done lower rep work. So So that was Yeah, got a good pump all over so Ha he's been killed there By this underground king. So yeah, anyway, that is my little training update this is one of the cool aspects of Assassin's Creed the exploration getting to go through tunnels, etc. Go on then Die mate.  No, we can't really get anywhere. We have to continue along Running in the sewage water, I suppose There is a God You can assassinate him boom.  It's only a matter of time. I knew that much. This is far too soon We my lord the assassins are well connected, but we have the advantage now, don't we?  All right.

Hey, I'm Rebecca Nesbitt. I graduated from Miss Davia Hills, and I'm from Birmingham, Alabama. I come from a very heavy Alabama family, so pretty much came out of the womb knowing I would come to Alabama. But when I visited, just kind of sealed the deal for me. I knew that my major was here. It was going to give me great opportunities to excel and give me just good opportunities to take my career to the next level. My major is telecommunication and film. It recently transitioned to journalism creative media. And what I want to do that is pursue a sports broadcasting career. I get to intern with Crimson Tide Productions, which is the multimedia component of Alabama Athletics. We're in the Digital Media Center located in Prandony Stadium. State-of-the-art technology, and I'm really fortunate to have the opportunities I do. Super fun athletic events, date parties, if you're into the social scene, campus ministries, if that folks your vote, there's anything in everything here. I walk to class with a smile on my face every day because there isn't a better school in the country, and I'm so fortunate that I grew up attending football games here and knowing about Alabama. Going to Alabama is a hands-down, probably the best decision I've ever made.
