It's it came out sticky, right? So the the the whole idea behind rate cuts is that central banks really want to see inflation moving towards their 2% target and I guess You know, not only does it need to move towards a 2% target is that The central banks are probably like expecting some sort of overshoot so So let me just draw this out one seconds second annotation, right? So can you guys see my pencil right here the red one? You're right. Oh, you're right Harold. Can you guys see my pencil there? Where I say it says 2% right the bottom of screen. Yep. All right, excellent so In order for, you know rate cuts to happen, right? So what we've seen is we've seen over the past, you know A couple of years you see an inflation move above way above the 2% target Therefore we've had interest rate hikes, right? And now we're seeing a move to the downside now What central banks The reason why central banks are looking to cut rates even as it approaches their 2% target Is because actually they're expecting some sort of overshoot for it to go, you know down to like 1% potentially Yeah, maybe even 0% so what they're trying to do is actually try to get ahead of The the the overshoot of of inflation by trying to cut rates because there's a lag in The in the data. Yeah, so as prices are falling Right towards their 2% target. They're looking to cut so that the cuts then Push inflation, you know, try to stabilize inflation and this is what like The the whole soft landing a hard landing narrative is about or the analogy, I guess, right? Whenever you see, you know Fed is expecting a soft landing or no landing It's really because You know, the the no landing scenario is where, you know, they can't necessarily even cut rates because Inflation is maybe stubborn around that maybe three percent, you know 2.5 percent mark, right overall So they might actually even get a no landing where they don't even cut rates, right? a soft landing will be where they start to cut rates and then Inflation kind of just about bottoms out stays around that 2% you know, I mean with some sort of Deviation it might go to maybe 1.8. Maybe 2.2. Maybe, you know, I mean that kind of thing But again, the landing is more within that range or maybe something like 2.5 to maybe 1.5, right? And that's where inflation stays. So as they start to cut rates and it starts to ease up, right? And they control inflation it stays within that kind of range. Yeah a hard landing is where, you know They start to maybe they cut rates a bit late And then you have this overshoot where you now start to have a Situation where you're getting in, you know with deflation, right? Where deflation is starting to take hold where, you know, they're cutting rates But they can't stop inflation from, you know, moving too much to the downside And they start cutting cutting cutting cutting just to get inflation to come back, right? That's really what the whole hard and soft landing narrative is about. Sorry It's a bit small on this screen, but can you guys can you guys see this? Can you guys do you guys Understand what I'm saying? Did anyone lost? Yeah Yeah, all good. Everyone's all good. Okay, brilliant Can your joke up? But um, but yeah, so that's basically what is what the situation is, right? So you'll see it. So if you notice you see the Swiss Frank, right? So the Swiss Frank, yeah Recently their data and their inflation came out even lower. So I think they were at 1.3% If I'm not mistaken and then I think it was earlier is it must have been last week last week Their data came out and now inflation is at 1% but remember they cut rates Yeah, um A couple of weeks ago. Yeah, so what was supposed to happen is is that the cut, right? Although the cutting cycle is supposed to kind of, you know Almost prevent or try to slow down the deceleration in inflation But obviously they haven't cut enough. So 20 so so 0.25 um Or 25 basis points 0.25 wasn't enough because inflation is still coming down Yeah, that's what's happening. Yeah with with with with this with the swiss rank in the swiss and economy, right? And swiss inflation So you can see where you're starting to get an overshoot where central banks react maybe a bit late to inflation Yeah, so guess what the swiss national bank have to do with their rates? Do they hold or do they cut? Do they hold or do they cut more? Right, exactly. They have to cut more to try to get inflation Back up to their 2% because if you're getting into that, you know deflation every cycle That's when you have to start to cut rates. Well done. Harold. Thank you All right, you got a cut rate now the us is in a different situation because Inflation now is remaining quite stubborn. It's not quite coming down to their 2% target. So You can start to see now that they are likely to hold rates They're not looking to cut rates because they're not expecting that overshoot beyond 2% at the moment Yeah, whereas other central banks may be like the swiss frank and maybe even, you know, the euro and some others, right? But it's all about the expectation. So um, what we saw here today um What are your thoughts if the rate on on rates if the stock market drops 20%? If the stock market drops 20% anyways, um So so getting back to what we saw what we're seeing today, right? So I hope everyone Does anyone not understand this and what's going on and if you and and if you don't then i'm i'm hoping that You you've if you don't and you've done the short course and test Then I will go over it If you haven't done the short course and test yet and you don't understand it Then I advise you to do the short course and test first and then come back to this video Then you'll understand or you should understand basically what i'm talking about here Yeah So if there's anyone else if there's anyone who's lost at the moment, let me know And I'll try and maybe explain it in a slightly different way or maybe try and refresh your memory when it comes to the relationship between inflation and interest rates Anyways, um, you know, you can just put you can turn your mic on or you can um, Put it in the chat meeting. Anyway, so I'm assuming that everyone's Understands this so so what we're seeing right now is we are seeing The if you go to the fedwatch tool, right and let me do a quick update a refresh on this what we should see Is a situation where The market is pricing out rate Um rate cuts in june. Yeah, so let's have a quick look Right, so no change is now up to 81 percent if you go back to last week's webinar, you'll see it was probably more 5050 I think it was something like 47 53 or something like that in terms of an ease Now that's just being totally priced out. Yeah, so yesterday it was a 42 percent, right? Um, and now it's like 81 percent Ken said did you see the post on the group though? Just a little bit of hype priced in in july. Wow. So they're really pricing out rate hikes Yeah, so The fact that and no change has Has oh, sorry. I've just gone to july. Sorry. Let's let's focus on june first, right? So The what what you're seeing right now is the market pricing out rate cuts. Yeah, so If we go to a price chart and we're looking at the dollar, right? So we're seeing this is the dollar index by the way that the equally weighted dollar index and you're seeing prices move to the upside and this makes all the sense in the world because um You know markets tend to move First of all in in auctions and ranges, right? This is For me, this is the way that I see the market


Hello and welcome back here to channel. I'm evil rabbit We are here on RDS Russian drift series here on steam on the PC We'll be seeing if we can still drift here in or DS. We do have a very aggressive 370 z back there that we have had in the game. We haven't done any type of Driving in this game recently So I'm definitely very curious to see if we can get this car sideways on maybe some tow gear So make sure you follow me on all social media. I'll just found in the description box below. Let's get to it RDS is a game that I've had in my steam that I haven't used recently But now we're here going to do some offline practice and we're gonna look at some towgate roads. I believe we have Yeah, we have a Royal towgate from Japan. We're gonna run this and just see what we can do on this car. Hopefully We can Not totally wreck this car out If you guys want to keep seeing this on channel make sure you guys let me know down in the comment section down below RDS definitely a very fun game It doesn't have any first-person cameras that I know about because every time I try to change cameras. It's outside so Full send because we just have roof Or hood and some cinematic cameras. So we're gonna get our lights turned on Do have hazard lights too if we want them full send it here on this 370 and break it in Not that the third Almost hit the wall there No, don't lose it Like I said, haven't been on this in a minute. So we can take a second to get used to it Toon on this car. Not sure what it is What gear maybe? That's definitely a Little bit loose in the rear of this car. Oh a little wall tap. We may have to adjust some tuning on this. Don't crash It's definitely Way different than All the other drift games out there that I've played on a lot of people were telling me to try this. So Like that's a aggressive slowdown Yep Right now to die Just banging red line. We are definitely doing some damage to R2J. I Noticed that down below We were a much higher than 87% when we started this run. So Banging red line probably not the best choice this is actually a quite fun track and We're not doing too bad. I'm actually quite impressed with no There was There was that big that big hit on the wall a good kick We may go and see if we can't get some more money and maybe make this car a V8 power car Well, you got to love that a 2j Going on in this car right now Front wall tap nothing major Kind of losing Angle there though. We got a bit of a tunnel. This should be interesting. Oh That's the end of the track We could definitely still drift here in our DS and it's definitely a lot of fun We're gonna go this way though Is this just into a parking lot? Yep So I feel like we need to go see if we can get online and go against some other people and see if we can't get some more Money unlocked and go to competitions Believe it's shadow match because I don't think there is any online Locked it. Yep. No, okay, so we're gonna go into maybe we could run qualifying online We could do qualifying runs here if we wanted to December That's old. Let's just go into a shadow match and we're gonna pick Honestly, Japan. So yeah, we're gonna do this one And do it with competitors if competitors are found And we're gonna see if we can't get some more money and win around here on RDS I had to turn my force feedback down a little bit on my fan attack because it was super aggressive We got some people. All right, now we are just going for drift points Don't lose them. Oh That was not what I wanted to do. I think he was a shadow. Otherwise, we would have died Trying to get those inter clip points to make a bank and some points here. I don't want to lose these points But we got to bank them Trying to no, okay, we should probably bank those points Yeah, we're gonna bank those points taking us into first place so far The men just died. Can I get some tandem stew? Here we go. Sounds like he's rocking a V8 in that car. I think those points has turned around We definitely got a bit of a lead going on right now. There's three minutes left. Oh Let's lost it. Trying to get up in those clips I get bonus points for clips and that's definitely gonna increase our score the first run out in RDS in a very long time and we uh Get a bit of a solid cushion here as long as we can bank these points, which I may do here soon I'm getting a little greedy now. I don't want to lose them So we still have the lead, but we have a lot of points bank we need to Bank those here. We're gonna bank those right now. There we go Quick bank some more clipping points Get back to the beginning. So we're gonna do another flip around Try and get a few more points on this downhill section But we do have a quite big lead at the moment, but I'm not sure What other people haven't banked yet? Well, that's a big hit for him bit off those We got this Definitely having a lot of fun in this RDS game right now 42 seconds left Ah, we didn't get those The braking is not the way I like it Man, let's get one of those See when I left a break it seems to just straighten the car up. So gotta bank those. That's not something we have We need to adjust. It's something we must adjust in the game. I feel Yep, see as soon as you left a break it kind of just dies out My reason to handbrake so much Two seconds one Um, I think we will take that 21 000 points I think that's enough to give us first place in that first run 120 kilometers out. I will take it first place. So we did get a pretty decent payout 8 grand that's definitely yeah, we had a we had a bit of a huge Gap on that one 21 000 to 9 000 So definitely, um Have enough money to I believe A v8 in this car if I want See engine swaps We do not have enough money to put a v8 in the car So we got to get some more money up in this thing so we can get some More power So if you guys want to see more here on rds, maybe swapping this car Let me know down in the comment section down below as always. I thank you guys for coming back and watching I'm able to grab it. I'll see you guys on the track


O VP, Eribu Komoranjengine, na tuve kutana na Biggest. Kani kuli maereji ya kuni kuli master muziki apa Kenya, siyo. Santesana bro, I don't know what you wanna call me but, I go by the name Noriega Donself, CEO and founder RKC Katel Record Label. Ya. E kifika ma suolea luku kuwanza, kakangu uo na chapa luku from bottom to upper le Pambanzito. Approximately ini kama helangapi di kuwanza. Mungo nasa idea bro. Mungo nasa idea. Ni mungo tu. Mungo nasa idea. Ya. Na tu kizu muze kukusu luku za kukuazabu wa zina weza. What is the most cheapest? Mba uo lisha eva maybe. Am I don't wear a chip? I won't lie to you. The last time I leave a chip, luku kitambu ya ni kama na kuwa honest. But you know it's not about what you wear. It's about how you rock it. You can wear the cheapest, the most affordable item, but it comes down to style. Yoku na wa tu even before tupate pesat luku wa tu na pendeza bro. That's for sure. So it's not really about how much you spend.  But mimi siiritu intoambia ni simplicity. Go for like the simplest details. Shati ya white clean. Suti too. Mungo jas simple. Abanyuma kuna gari zi. Ngine palia evi. Bens bro. Una jwe ili ni gari ambalo. Maybe wait wait. Uengine otu tu na nisa kwa kama miakeshi rin tu na niku kuna gari kama ili tu. Nikwe li. Any kazi ya muze kiki? Nikwe li kami sa ya ni kama una hisi. Una taji 20 years to webenz nisha risaku bro. But I'll tell you for a fact. Bidi tu na you know you just believing in yourself you can achieve anything bro. It can even take you two days not to touch kwa one month. But all in all you know I'm super grateful. This is just material things. Azi na maana vile. Na toa pa na pelikapali na rudisha. Na kuna otu na vitu bro. Proper. Proper. Ya. So it's not about. Bo ratu ya ni inafanya kazi ya ke bro. Kila kitu kosa. Ya. Now of course Lord Ume Kujapa kwa event ya nadia mukami ya. Demsani master class. And you have really talked sense kusu the entertainment industry in Kenya. Kulingana na mawaida ya ko. What are the mistakes that most Kenyan artists do mbapo mzikwa na kosa kublo na kosa kwenda viraliv? Same same thing I said you know in the panel. Just understanding the business ya. You cannot get anywhere if you really don't understand the business. So I feel like watu na tukulia tu poa. People just think like you know being an artist is just about you just dropping music. You have to understand the business bro. Music starts. You start making money when you understand the music business. These artists who they're not even known anywhere but the kind of revenue they're generating just through streaming is crazy. But that's because kuna mi kakati they put in sorry they put in like you know mi kakati to make sure kila kitu kina kina endasawa. So you really really have to take time, learn, research, understand the business and then from there it was nasonga. Norega speaking on understanding the business what does that mean? Is it choosing the right management or what is understanding the business? It could be both really ya. Understanding the business means how you know kama biesha raiote where we plug SPM bus. I'm sure nim koko ni biesha raiote. That's why I'm kohapa. And of course there's a model. Kuna joni kifanya hi na hi. It doesn't put your results then I'm going to be able to make money. So that's what I mean like even for music music is not just being, it's not about fame. If you're in the music business just because you want to be famous then apuna potea. You need to understand what do I need to do as an artist to make money and if you don't understand that part then you do research. Kama research piya ningumu get people like Sisi wanyetuna elewa biesha raiam ziki to be able to do business with. Ya but chamsingi ni ni however you decide just understand what you need to do to structure yourself and build a brand that can be able to make money for you. Norega watu inga mekuji okupitia kufanya kazi na otile brown. Abutu ambi mausini akwa na otile brown kazi na kua vivi tangu juwani nae na kansakufanya kazi na kimsiki. I mean otile we go way back six years. It's been a really really great journey. We accomplished so much to the point where to kachana. It was a really really great experience working with him. He's a very very good artist. Like I said, I'm super super grateful kazi. We were able to do what we did. Tumifika maltumifika. We had to part ways. Maisha yendele he needs to keep building himself in a different direction. I also need to focus on building now my record label. In the meeting earlier, tu meski apu me te te mcsk yukasi na otile ya ya li kwa na li ufawizuri na mcsk. Una zotombia like the highest amount ok tu se me mcsk but a music distribution company. Point of correction. Miss jte te mcsk. Are you sure? I did not. Mi mi na mcsk were not affiliated in any way. Si wezi wa te te, we make sure we point it out and we need accountability and transparency. A lot of people have been talking about all I said is when everybody else was complaining about getting 2500 Kenyan shillings on Mpesa we never got 2500 Kenyan shillings. That's the truth. Mili kwa tu na mwambianad ya I'm surprised like ma liya liya uku? No na siku liya liya. Everybody has a right to kulia but what I didn't stand for is she wanted to avoid the conversation. Asuna as one of the young artists asked I want to understand more about Mcsk camp and priest and all this kekobo they wanted to avoid the question so mini kasi ma there is no point of us avoiding this question because if there is an issue we need to talk about it we need to discuss so that tunad yotatizo niwapi and we forge ways forward you cannot tell a young artist who is looking up to you don't join this organization unless you make it make sense to the young artist I'm saying don't join this organization kwa sababu kuna hi na hi na hi for me it doesn't make no sense but you cannot just say I'm not gonna do it just because kuna hi na hi all I said is I took time I went to the Mcsk office we had a conversation and I learnt where on our end we was going wrong as management and as artists and took a implement they have their own issues they could be doing a really really good job they are slacking but so kila amtul kuna pata 2500 which is true na kifiki kamaambu ya roll tiz does that make Othile Brown to be maybe the top paid Kenyan artist kamaambu ya roll tiz up a Kenya kulingana mone ya kamae so easy I'm not working with Othile Brown so I'm not even trying to say anything in regards to him because I don't represent him in any way but numbers don't lie if you go to let's say YouTube who's the most accomplished or decorated artist when it comes to the views who has the more numbers let's say you go because the more the numbers the more the business this is fortify who has the more numbers you go to boom play who had the most numbers in like Kaspan of just 2 years so the more the numbers the more the revenue so I don't want to say he's the top artist but I'll tell you if you go and sit down whoever artist has more numbers on all platforms is the one generating more revenue speaking on numbers we are seeing so many artists on the Kikiwi do you approve of Kiki as a manager now that depends on what you define Kiki as because you know Kiki if you talk about Shobis that's a different thing I don't know what Kiki is to be honest but if you're talking about Shobis there is no music industry without Shobis understand so but now it depends on the level of Shobis the only difference is what you call Kiki but it's kind of like Shobis but just because another artist is going to do this doesn't mean if you feel like that's what's going to help you like build your brand by all means go ahead and do it but I'll tell you strategic Kiki strategic Shobis to me Zifanya so let's not like lie to the young or maybe upcoming artists like Kiki Nimbaya it depends on Kiki aina gani but then also use a young artist you don't want to base your brand on Kiki Kiki people are never going to take you serious but in Kiki Kiki Kiki comes in different forms but usifanya don't do it usifanya kwendo kaziako take your time work on your craft do great music and then have proper plans brand yourself properly marketing PR professional PR PR but Kiki is a form of marketing so when we are talking about marketing kiki but you see other artists don't need Kiki but usifanya Kiki to Fahuti to you it might not seem like Kiki but the real people who understand the business want to join Kiki and I'll tell you for a fact there is no Kiki there is no Kiki there is no Kiki but usifanya Kiki is a form of marketing the only difference is there are levels of Kiki and branding so when we are talking about top we are talking about Kiki upuzi but when we are talking about Kiki but when we are talking about top we are talking about Fala and of course Kiki but when we are talking about top we are talking about top but if you listen to the sound it's quite unique out of Kenya probably it can be your sound and the Kenyan sound do you feel maybe Kenyan sound needs to improve somewhere else and do you think it's your level? I don't want to say Kenyan sound needs to improve because we have a very beautiful sound sound here too is authentic is raw and I feel like also art is art is raw music is raw you don't need to change the music just because you have to appeal to a certain demographic kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwa kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaana kwaanaありがとう because it's a good song the difference is when it come to Lexil Lexil has a different sound different unique crazy sound Lexil is a beast it's only a matter of time Wakena Tokh Press upon he is a ticking bomb Time will tell but the good thing is we understand music business We were taking our time as RKC record label to make sure to streamline Kila Kitu so that by the time a household name, then Kila Kitu kwa sawa. Do you feel maybe wakenya kuna ii dibeti me kwa kiseima kwa mba? The reason why muziki wetua ufiki kule inji enchi, we are concentrating on too much on sheng and local language. At least you can feel maybe kizung wundani. Probably, could that be the reason why muziki wetua ufiki bwa dahi? Ya, it could be like, you know, kuna vituvingi na changia ya. It can't be like the only reason but of course English kind of plays a major role when it comes to our music crossing over. But then also that doesn't mean like every artist needs to like switch wacheku kwa imbaki swahili ama sheng so that you can appeal. A song, I remember when I was in Bahrain, there's a song by, was it Sailor's or Ethic? It was being played like in Bahrain and this is a military like event.  I don't even understand the language, I think it was Ethic. And also Arab boy was being played when I was in Ethiopia. But when we talk about like crossing over kabisa kabisa, because you see, isn't it come out of regions in a way, we haven't really crossed over. I don't know if there's any Kenyan song in ya, him a cross over kabisa kabisa ya ni to the levels in ya. It's crossed over. I feel like, let's say you see a song like Bounce for Lexel, it just picked up organically. But then if you look at the platform and you not pick up from, that's Spotify. Spotify is mostly like, if you look at the stats, France is Netherlands is UK is London is GYPYP, but that's organically, but piau tapata is because kuna ura isi wa English. People are able to like understand more minus the melody, the good beats and all that, people can also understand. So I'm not gonna say like that's the main reason, but English definitely plays a role in you know, helping our songs like cross over ya. Speaking on that, yesterday we had a ma piano tour. You see, it has gotten to a point where Kenyans have accepted a ma piano paka kuna tua, le kone dama Chakos na Nairobi places like that. Do you think, the question here ni Billy, do you think that Gengaton is our voice? And do you think that of how Kenyans have accepted a ma piano, does that make Kenyan artists feel some type away? The second question is a tricky one, because I think when you say does the Kenyans, Kenyan artists feel some type away, the artist should be able to tell us, because I'm not no artist. But we just need support like Kenyans, we have great great music to be honest. We just need like more support. And the fans are really supporting, I cannot say they're not supporting.  But I feel like we just need more support and then also not even just from fans, even other artists. Let's say you have like a bigger Gengaton song, why are we not seeing a collaboration between that young artist with an established artist, just like a core sign. Look at like America where we have people like Drake, Drake is known for like core signs. Any other artist coming up, just a remix. Oh, so you need a Babish Mada. Oh, he's off it later to Drake in a way. Oh, so I love Makanen. They support even from the industry itself. But you see, when let's say sailors were popping, what A-list artist in Kenya supported sailors? Let's say when Ethic was popping also, how many A-list artists, I know Othila did a song with Ethic, but how many other artists were Lee? Because you see sometimes you just the established artist. People like, there's a song. I don't remember, is it Black Sheriff? And we talk her too. It was big, whiz kid reached out. Let's do a remix on that. That's the kind of support we're talking about. So it's not just from the fans.  So support is in different forms. It's not just when it comes to the fans. We can, we're getting the support, but we can do more. Yeah. And do you feel maybe, is that, could that be maybe caused by jailers among the Kenyans, artists even come up with a host that is your type of support here, do you want to support Kwaasani or Chippuka? I'll say what's Sanyu, kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani kwaasani. You know, one of Kriaku, Vimbando, Siju being superstar. Let me tell you something, being a real star is like really really wanting to see the best from your people, supporting your people. Meleo, it's not about at the or if Siju, let me tell you, on top it's not really competition, it's collaboration.  People supporting each other. People are pushing like the limits together because you know at the end of the day, so when you can get yourself to the, to the, when I say manga, I don't Christian, I like this, what Christian Ronaldo said, a player like being a best player wins a match, understand? But then for us to win a tournament, it's a whole team. So he's not just about him, he could be the best player. You can be the best singer, but not always a could break boundaries not when the hinges are easy, we need support. You need to support atokum kubu aji. Young, young upcoming artist no future. The big, the goal should be bigger than just your selfish gains. It's not about just you, it's not about where we moneeris, you want to take a, oh I want to amass this much success for myself. True success comes when you're able to impact other people. It's not just about you, you want to build a legacy. Legacy wuna itengenezokati, you know even when I'm gone from the music industry, my name is forever because kuna naniyana kujanyu maangu. Milo, kuna another artist mwenye nili msapotsa, he's anashikiliya. The same, same other artist is going to support another one. And that's where wuna people like ukwenja wuna tuzidi, wuna bigger collaborations wuna sub-industry is intact. All right. Tawapariya fudeji amu tutumalizetu. So, and atu kiangali apia kwenya mzikiapa, you as an artist manager umefanyakal, umemmanage msanikule ane ame tesakido kwenya sana kwenya entertainment industry. What things should artists invest in for them not to be established up in the entertainment industry in Kenya? Invest in yourself. Milo invest yourself, you know, as a brand. Most artists, I feel like most artists when they start to, I'm talking about like the ones that are like sort of established. When you start making a little bit of money here and there, wuna sahaw, you have to reinvest back in the business.  Kila kitu, you know, being an artist is an all-round like job, plasma constantly you have to constantly keep reinvesting in yourself. And there's so many different ways of, you know, investing in yourself. S.K.B.A. S.K.B.A. S.K.B.A. S.K.B.A.

Mark Meravali They're all they and others And these are all of course amazing speakers are going to be at our annual Avala summit and and the title of the summit will be the Marian mystery in the triumph of the immaculate heart It'll be at the shrine of the most blessed sacrament in Hansville, Alabama again October 13th through the 15th We usually have at least 200 people on a waiting list. So if you don't want to end up on a waiting list and actually want to go Head out to spiritual direction comm forward slash events and sign up for that for this incredible summit that's coming up And 20 octo in October. I think that's good enough. We'll Jump into the show now Okay on your mark Get set go. This is Dan and Jordan Burke. Welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio haven of rest You're hermitage of the heart. That was I don't know I got like three hours. You just don't Are you convinced that that's what it is? I was trying to remember that was good No, you did fine good your monastery of the mind where we lift our hearts and minds to the heavens To draw on the wisdom of the saints and to help us navigate the tumult of this life And I'm here with Jordan Burke because Stephanie is otherwise occupied and Jordan has done a lot of research In the area of the bar conversation where we're going to talk about today In fact, Jordan is the spokesperson for a new book from Sophie Institute Press entitled the Pope's Exorcist 101 questions about Father Gabriel Morse. There you go. So why don't you introduce our guest our guest is Kerry Solomon? He is the writer producer and director of nefarious. He's wearing a lot of hats He's also created gods not dead. Do you believe and unplanned among many others? And we are very excited to have this conversation today. Yeah, welcome to the show Kerry Thanks for having me Well as I said this offline we were talking but I think I want to say it again Because I had to process through it a little bit. I think this show is in my top five all-time movies This movie sorry this this movie nefarious is in my all-time top five and And the way I judge movies, you know, I used to run the National Catholic Register and EWTN news and We had movie critic That worked for us. I mean in an art review person and The way that he looked at all of these kinds of things is totally different than the way I do and there's nothing It's just different. I'm not capable to be an art critic But my question about a movie that I see because I see so few is Is it tell does it tell the truth Will it help people to heaven and this movie of all the Christian movies I've seen with the exception of and I'm not putting in the competition But I mean just the list is very small the passion of the Christ of the chosen series so far has been extraordinary It's a few issues with respect to Catholic doctrine, but it Minor, you know this movie truth and impact those two Criteria are is on in my top five. Yeah of all time. I don't know. Do you agree with that? 100% agree and I I do as a side hobby I would like to watch a lot about behind the scenes of movie making and I was I will say even though you don't want to say You're an art critic. I'm not an art critic, but I noticed how visually beautiful Certain aspects of this movie was yeah, how certain shots were done to kind of help push the story forward and show different transitions It's it's all just it's I'm gonna gush over this movie the entire time, but I'm I'm doing it In a very analytical way. Yeah, so it's not just it's not just hype. It's it's an incredible movie So Carrie, thank you so much for for you and your team for doing this this great work. What? If you wanted in a nutshell Describe the movie for our listeners those who haven't seen it What what's the movie about? Well, it's a story about a serial killer By the name of Edward Wayne Brady and it's his day of execution now in The prison system in the United States. You will not be executed unless you've proven to be sane so on the day of his execution his psychiatrist actually kills himself and so that brings all the questions into Doubt on whether or not Edward Wayne Brady is either crazy or not crazy So they have to bring in the state has to bring in a new psychiatrist new psychiatrist is progressive. He's very very Smart he's well dressed. He's very good at what he does very liberal obviously total atheist And basically he comes in very self-assured and the warden tells him look the guy you're gonna deal with is You just don't understand. He's a mastermind and so think Hannibal Lecter that kind of thing and of course The psychiatrist has the attitude of like this is what I do for a living. I don't have anything to worry You don't have anything to worry. I'll be out of here in an hour. Well, the psychiatrist goes in to talk to the serial killer Edward and basically introduces himself and Ed the serial killer knows every single thing about him And so it kind of throws the psychiatrist off and they are from that point on They start a dialogue and as they're in the middle of the dialogue the serial killer stops and says basically Oh by the way, I'm a demon Which basically the psychiatrist smiles at because they he's been told that this guy's gonna try and convince you He's crazy. So he doesn't have to get executed. So it goes and progresses from there We go back and forth throughout the story. Is he isn't he is he isn't he and that's the basics of the story I would say think C. S. Lewis the screwtake letters meet silence the lambs. Yeah, that's a that's a perfect way to describe it Yeah, I think so too one thing I want to get out right away so we don't miss it is I've we've had a lot of folks So we've been promoting it in our community in the possibly be a community it's the first place that I did a review for the movie a positive review and Some very devout Catholics said they were afraid to see it and they're not going to see it because they're sensitive and I want to argue against that I really think it's worth Enduring whatever you think you have to endure. I mean this movie was not gory. It is not I don't categorize it as a horror film You know in a sense, it's a psychological thriller in a way it well for perspective for listeners the passion of the Christ is more gory Way more and then there's no gore in this movie at all. Yeah, and there's nothing gratuitous You don't you know, you don't see murders, right? You know that sort of thing so Carrie, I'm sure you've had the this question put to you. Do you think that? Are there any issues with people being scared about seeing the movie? I'm glad you brought that up. You know, this is not a demonic satanic movie Which is everyone's first for quite honestly if I looked at the poster And I didn't make the movie. I wouldn't go to the movie. I would be scared There was a reason we did the poster originally by the way, even though the church is embracing it We wanted to bring in those young people that are at or people that are Absolutely obsessed with the demonic and the occult because we feel that they're being lost in waves literally every one of these garbage Horrific movies that comes out as infesting people and so what we knew is that the the Poster would not attract the church. It would set off good people So I think it's a good reaction that people are having Yeah, but at the same time it was Trojan horse to bring in the people that really need to see the movie In that perspective. So like when you talk about gratuitous, there's no sex. There's no bad language We don't drop an F bomb in the whole movie.  We are devout devout Catholic Chuck is my business partner the end co-director writer and so on and So I don't think that I will tell you If you look at the fruit of our tree unplanned pro-life movie Abby Johnson God's not dead Do you believe what if and this movie amongst all this stuff? You have nothing to fear nothing to worry There's not it's two guys in a room now before you say to yourself. Well, that would be boring It's not boring Yeah, I think Of any possible scenario that you could paint about two guys in the room You will not you will not be you will not be able to anticipate other than the clues We're giving you now what this thing is gonna feel like or seem like so it's I'm so Pleased to say that you did this on purpose because that was kind of my suspicion looking at everything because there's quite a few things in the movie that Are presented one way But if you're looking at it within the context of the entire movie It seems as if there's a deeper meaning to it So one of the things I wanted to ask you about was the if you're comfortable talking about it Of course, but the older priest spirit spoiler alert. Yeah, okay Go ahead the the the older priest in the movie. Yeah, so I guess we should say spoiler if there's yeah I'm sure other people have heard about it. Yeah, but um, I I always I've heard some people be critical of that But then I'm watching it within the context. I'm thinking this seems like it was on purpose This represents an aspect of what we're experiencing in the church today and represents it in a really Yeah, I would say that yes, that was intentional We we knew exactly what we were doing.  So we want to get that out of the way from a story point But that was the minor point what we wanted to show was this is a priest that has the power and authority of Jesus Christ And he is a priest of the Catholic Church, right? So he walks in the room and what happens is the demon literally jumps up from the table. Yeah, that was great Scripture are you literally in fear and by the way, this is a just an Easter egg I don't know if you guys caught it or not When Sean jumps up Sean Patrick Flannery who's playing nefarious From the table if you look at it when they if you see it again look at his hair There's two horns of hair One of our crew was watching it saw that they thought they saw yeah, yeah, right And so the horns of hair because he's in his defense mode, right? The horns are out It's the only time you actually see the demon that way, right? So he backs away and the the priest comes in and suddenly he's saying look you have nothing to worry about I've never been to an exorcism, you know, that it's really just things of our disordered mind You have nothing to worry about. I'm never gonna do an exorcism. Yeah, you know, let's all get along Let's be the the liberal kindler gentler social justice warrior You know, I know you might have mental conditions, but I'm gonna help you that kind of thing the minute He sees his authority The demon comes right back the table and in mockery of the priest sits down and crosses his legs and says I should have had you in here sooner. The horns go eventually disappear because there's nothing to fear He knows the guy is a poser and the reason we did it was very simple. This is a problem in the church today Yeah, our problem is we see and amongst Catholics in my opinion We seed our authority immediately the evil so covert. They want to shut the churches down. Okay, you want to get vaccinated? Oh, we need to have everybody vaccinated. Oh everybody we can't give mass because that's too That's that would be dangerous and so with there's this insanity in the world right now Well, we wanted to say look, there are great priests out there as far as I'm concerned There are really a lot of great priests, but this progressiveness this kindler this kind of we don't talk about evil all these things Basically, that is what we want to show and I and I think we did a good job of that We even put the rainbow scarf on them The minute he walks in the room with that scarf, you know exactly what we're saying you killed it you killed it Che Guevara Yeah You know what this guy's my new best friend Okay, we're gonna go to a break when we come back We'll continue our conversation with the writer producer director of nefarious Carrie Solomon an amazing movie that every Catholic should see with with some caveat But I really think that that y'all ought to see it and support it. We'll we get back from the break We'll keep digging into What was behind the scenes in the movie? We'll be right back Hey friends, I Do mean it wholehearted support of the movie. It's I think It's really important that you get out and support this these these are these things are tough to distribute when they tell the truth and You we it would be huge for you to watch it Take your friends to watch it. I mean I'm telling you you will save souls if you do it. I really believe that I You know actually I'm gonna open up with that when we well before we go back Is there somewhere where people is it gonna be on a streaming platform at some point? I know I have had a lot of well We can tell them we can just send them to who is nefarious right calm. That's probably that's we're gonna Have your notices and all that yeah, and you know I mean they can find it anywhere movies are shown like Fandango or their movie theater art We're still in movie theaters, but yes, we're gonna try and get it out everywhere We're gonna definitely be on Apple and Amazon and you know it and there are different stages You go through it'll definitely come out on DVD and all of that as well. Great. Okay, great All right, I think we'll just jump back into the show by the way How much time do you have allotted for us today? Do you have time for Part two or you just have only this half hour. I I can do whatever you want. Okay, awesome. All right So let so I think We answered one and two You what you think we answered to yeah, you explained Okay, the purpose behind it. I mean we can cover it again. No, I think that's good. All right Let's let's go ahead and head back into show. I think I know where we're gonna go On your mark it said go This is Dan and Jordan Burke. Welcome back to divine intimacy radio We're talking about one of the most important movies that has come out in my lifetime And it's entitled nefarious. We're talking with Kerry Solomon writer producer director of nefarious Why is it so important? I'll give you an example. I have a spiritual directee Who asked me the other day if they have by it seen nefarious and this this is a devout very devout man Who's up has a beautiful apostle? I mean this guy is no Slouch going from good to better He he's he's not a reaver. He's just he's been just dead serious about his faith forever The movie rattled him to the core and he said he realized things about the way he thought That Were that he doesn't want to he realized they were dangerous to him and he said I'm gonna watch this movie every year So it's not just so so of course it will help those non Christians You know at Border out on the edge or is it of the church that Catholics Christians? It'll help them too because they'll see junk they allow in their head coming out of the mouth of a demon But it will also help you if you're devout because and this is I mean a realm that we live in I've written To best-selling books spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits and then devil in the castle Teresa Valla spiritual warfare in the progress of the soul So I know and and I've also been in 24 fold right exorcisms and work with multiple possessed people and work with deliverance ministry, so The the truths that they were able to illustrate through art in this movie in a Rock your soul powerful way They get past a lot of the barriers the intellectual barriers the psychological barriers the emotional barriers and And really it will it will break things open for every single person I think like every but we had a small group that saw it that reviewed it to prepare for this show here Yeah, it every one of them were deeply moved including the priest including the priest was with us Yeah, no, I don't remember if you said in the first half, but you had mentioned that Having gone through multiple full right exorcisms You said that there are many things that the demon said in the movie that you had heard from D. Oh gosh So listen, I well I told Carrie before the show. He's the writer-producer. That's our guest today said You you had to have had divine intervention and or An exorcist advisor that's very good because I've heard The exact words the demon in the movie said I've heard directly out of the mouth of the demon And I've heard it not just once it because their their bag of tricks is a pretty pretty limited even though their demons are far superior and intellects to human beings and in power The they're not they're not very creative, you know, our God is very creative So yeah, I don't know if that's where you're going That is where it's going but even speaking on that I one of the things that I noted watching this movie was that it's Borderline catechesis on a topic that isn't often taught on yeah But and but not in any kind of you don't feel like you're in a classroom You don't feel like you're being preached to some Christian movies Just get a little too obvious about the message They're trying to deliver and then you get distracted by that obviousness Nothing like that in this this movie. Yeah, and to drive that home. This was some of Yeah, some of the best acting ever seen just hands down the guy who played nefarious I mean so Carrie to you what? So Jordan recognized him from boondock Saints I think was one of his movies How did you get what I would call an a-list? I don't know if he's an a-list guy, but he certainly is a-list talent Sean Patrick Flannery. Yeah, amazing man. Amazing. Just not a diva just real deal Just everything you saw is exactly him About 15 years ago We were maybe 2003 something like that So almost 20 years ago I did a little movie and the bottom line is that Sean and the budget was like $200,000 and we were just starting out and Sean said yeah, I'll do it which is shocking because he's been in boondock Saints He was powder. He did all this other stuff and the What happened was we got along so well that He basically Said he would work with us any time, but the funny thing was that the Lord put us together In that movie for a reason because when I was done with that movie I felt in my spirit that the Lord was saying to me you're going to do a lot of work with him He's going to become your guy So when we sent him the project and I said to him look you said you do a fruit loops commercial with us because he was That excited. I got a fruit loops movie for you. So and he Even said, you know, I'm in I don't whatever you want to do I'm in I had a great experience with you guys So it was a guy the hand of God thing, you know, I mean everything in this movie. We dealt with demonic manifestation. We dealt with angelic Occurrences it's just an unbelievable sequence of events, but he's a phenomenal actor And if the world was a fair place he would win the Academy award He more than deserves it I don't think anyone is going to do the job that he does in this movie this year for the awards I couldn't agree more. It was so I don't get sucked in the movies in general. It just doesn't I'm not that kind of guy But I'm watching and I find myself praying for him During the movie multiple times. I'm like, oh wait a minute. This is a movie It was that that impressive that well done and I will say I don't know if I want to reveal it on this show Because I want to be careful. I don't want to say something that would affect anyone not sing it changed a one particular view one particular doctrine That I have held that is is is a is a matter of prudential judgment in the church and the church has supported, you know Multiple perspectives on this it changed my mind and I'll carry. I'll give you a hint and I'll let you decide if you want to talk about it I my heart was broken for the the the the killer Because I've seen victims of demonic possession. I know what they do to people and I was I was moved I was I was just about brought to tears at his suffering Knowing so I know why he was I know how people get possessed, you know And you did that brilliantly as well. You revealed the the kind of explanation can have been more perfect Yeah, but of course done artistically, right? But yeah, I found myself incredibly sympathetic to him and to People on death row in general You know They the whole sequence with the I don't know to be honest a lot of people have brought up the death penalty pro con We didn't start out with the idea to make a statement on the death row thing We did it as a story point. He had to die But one of the things I can tell you I do believe I look at it two ways You know if you go and execute somebody they don't have a chance of redemption anymore and the Lord My but on the other hand the church does say look if there's somebody who's this dangerous and doing this kind of thing You are allowed to execute. Yes, exactly.  They're dead. Bam. You shoot them. They're dead. You know, yeah, that's why we had a firing squad I mean if we're gonna go there, let's get it done then be merciful in the process You know, we should be honoring God in mercy, right? But yeah, but I will agree with you The reason the story point of the execution was in there was because we wanted to show how evil Really works to take a human soul and after literally destroying this soul and making doing all these terrible things It's not enough just to destroy their life, but now I'm gonna make them suffer on his way out before he goes to hell and and so That was the point we were trying to make there now Obviously abortion and euthanasia and all that that was intentional as well. That was intentional, but oh that that's seen but what led up to the scene regarding abortion talking about Moloch and and then and then you know, this is a big spoiler alert is Well, they can't the demon knows exactly What's happening? He knows that the abortion is gonna happen. He counts down and then he he almost screams in an erotic Horrifying way Right at the at the killing of the baby and I was that that if I could have been blown back in my seat Yeah If that were possible, you know, like getting hit by a shotgun.  He's talking about it So that you know one should be scared of it, but although That final phrase and all hell rejoices It was just when we wrote it I mean, I had to put I had to stop and I had to think there are many times in this movie when we had to stop And we had to think and I will tell you that wow Like when he's talking about ripping a baby out of the womb of the carpenter I mean my goodness to make the carpenter suffer I mean, it's just it was crazy But you know the spirit was on this, you know We by the way as far as all the the knowledge thereof that we put into the piece You know, we did our research, you know, we did a lot of research on this a lot of prayer and you know Father Carlos Martins who has the ex files as a podcast and he's like probably the number one He's certainly up there in the top couple exorcists in the country. He saw the movie and he said This is the best movie on exorcism. I've ever seen. This is exactly what happens. He says I will not Promote the popes exorcists, but I will promote this movie I call it called no Burke gave us his personal endorsement and mentioned me in truck by name That we did a phenomenal job. So I mean the church is rallying to this I have priests by the way, if I can tell you this quick story Uh, it'll take 10 seconds. But friend of mine By the name of carol she's online for confession friend of hers comes out of the confessional And he walks over because she was in the movie She was in the witness room and she ran all the extras He comes over to her when he comes out of the confessional and he has a smile on his face And he says you're not gonna believe what the priest gave me for penance. So she's like, no, what is it? He said he told me to go see nefarious With that With that we've got a wrap up bird time with Carrie Solomon writer producer director of nefarious a great movie Totally, I think everyone should see it. I think kids kids if they're, you know, not mature enough 18 or older I think it'll work. They're mature. They can go if you want to hear part two of this interview head out to spiritual directing spiritual direction com YouTube page and I'll talk about my own involvement with a serial killer named ted bundy And the real realism behind this movie. So thank you, Carrie And we hope we wish you all the best with this uh with this project Until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness. May he preserve you whole and entire spiritual and body You're approachable at the coming of our lord jesus christ. Hold on. Why don't you do that one more time? Yeah Don't any yeah Take two until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness May he preserve you whole and entire spiritual and body you're approachable at the coming of our lord jesus christ And really quickly. Yeah, I wanted to echo what he said you can buy the pope's ex's book Don't go see the movie The movie's trash go watch nefarious instead Yeah, so and if you want to watch part two of this interview hop out to spiritualdirection.com's youtube page We'll see you out there in a few minutes


Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Yuvail Bachar and I'm an Open 19 fellow at the Linux Foundation. I'm here to introduce you to a new project which joined the Linux Foundation 2021 called Open 19. The Open 19 project started five years ago at LinkedIn. It was designed to actually enable LinkedIn to go to the next generation of servers and enable operating in a more open and inclusive environment. Our goals were to actually create a solution that will work for any size data center, small, medium, and large, and we were able to cover compute storage and any specialty servers into that platform. The platform was actually targeting also reducing the cost of the cages and the racks themselves, increasing the speed of integration of data center servers into the data center itself, and building community of like-minded companies which actually have the need for the data center that we're working on, but at the same time, do not share right now the effort. If you look at the base building block of the Open 19 platform, it has four main-based building blocks. One is a cage. A cage is a platform which actually creates the sets, the phone factor of the servers and enables the servers to be shared and put into the same location. Each cage is associated with a power shelf and a networking switch. That combination of power shelf, networking switch, and two cages is called an Open 19 zone. That zone actually accumulates a standalone unit of compute that can be replicated in many places, and in the single rack, you usually can put up to two zones. If you look at the backside of the cage, that's where some of the magic happened. We built a system of cabling which snaps to the back of those cages and creates a blind-made connectivity for the servers. The servers both on the power side as well as on the networking side is blind-made connected into those cabling system in the back, which enables the cable system to create a simplistic way of integrating servers. The cabling system is pre-installed in the racks and in the cages, and when the installation of servers happen, you don't need to actually worry about cabling, miscabling, broken cables, etc. The whole thing is pre-tested and pre-installed. What you see in the picture over here are the two types of cables that we have for power and for data. Cages are passive sheet metal solution. They are defining the phone factor for the servers and enabling us to create multi-sources into those servers to fit into the same phone factor. They are also enabling the cabling on the back of the system to snap into the cages and create the blind-made connectivity for the solution. We have two versions of those cages, a 12RU and an 8RU version, and they are actually divided into blocks of 2RU. Each of the 2RUs can actually accommodate one server, two servers or four servers depending on the configuration that the end user selects to do. The cabling system is consistent of two types of cables, a power cable and a data cable. The power cables initially enables up to 400W per brick, which is half width 1RU, and enables the data cable enables up to 100Gbps per brick. However, with that said, the bigger the server is, if you're a full-width, you actually get two power cables and two network cables, which when you double up your power per server. If you actually a 2U block, you get four power inputs and four data inputs, which again enables you to increase the bandwidth and increase the power available for you. If you look at the rear of the rack, that's how it looks. The connection of the cables are actually snapping on one side to the cage and on the other side into the network switch. This is a real example of a data center rack which has been built by LinkedIn. What you see on the right is the backside of the rack and you can see that there aren't any cables. What you see is the blue and white ribbons, which actually aggregate those cables that create a blind-med connectivity that we discussed before, but the cabling system is extremely simple to manage and extremely simple to install. On the front, you can see a completely clean view of the rack where only server's faceplate appear. There aren't any cables in the front of those racks. We have four brick form factors that we support in the Open 19 platform. A brick which is a half-width 1U block, a double-wide brick which is giving us a full 1U server, a double-high double-wide brick which is actually a 2U server and a special form factor which is half-width 2RU block which gives us a solution to work in different specialty conditions like in GPU. Each one of those bricks is completely independent. It has its own cooling system, its own NMI safety certification and it's actually operating as a standalone. It does not require anything from the system. Like we said before, the bigger the brick, the higher the power and the higher the network connectivity that you have. The baseline connectivity is for 100 gigabits per second for the smallest brick. We support a block called bring your own switch. That solution enables multiple different types of topologies in the rack itself. If you want to do a single switch or a double switch, what we created is a cable which on one side gives you the ability to create and enjoy the blind connectivity to the servers but on the other side operates off a QSFP or QSFP DD connection to connect to traditional standard switches off the shelf and create any topologies that you prefer to do. A single switch, a dual switch, whatever you want to build, you can build with this configuration. We have a power shelf which is actually the source of the power for the whole rack. Like we discussed before, every two cages are operating with a single power shelf. Those two cages are actually getting direct connection from the power shelf to each and every one of the servers and enables us to monitor and protect each server independently and not create a shared fate of the servers within the rack. We have a control management system inside the power shelf which connects to the rest of the world with a gigi connection. It enables us to actually build a solution which is fully managed remotely but control the servers and monitor the servers in real time independently. Those power shelves have dual sources for the power shelf and for the power modules and they're available now. If we summarize the Open 19 platform benefits, it goes into any 19 inch rack. It's a fully redundant system with full desegregation. It has a very short integration time and it leveraged the existing servers which are in the industry today. It's one of the most power efficient solutions in the industry and it has multiple server tiers and multiple server sizes. It is also one of the most cost effective integration solutions into data centers today. Let's talk now about Open 19 version 2. We are introducing a second version of the Open 19 platform which enhances every aspect of the data center requirements of the future from power to networking to cooling systems. I'll talk about the different features of the new Open 19 version 2. Let's talk about the Open 19 version 2 cooling system. We took a step in integrating a fully liquid solution for direct on chip in version 2 of Open 19. The liquid is going to be delivered to the servers via a blind-med connectivity the same as the power on the networking and will enable to cool hotspots in next generation servers where the CPUs or the GPUs goes to levels of 300, 400, 500 watts per component. That integration of blind-med connectivity for liquid cooling will enable Open 19 to step into the future and protect the future generations of servers for the next five years. The distribution system of the liquid within the rack is very similar to the way we distribute power and distribute network. It's based on a common element that's shared across the servers. We have an external interjection unit which takes the heat off the servers and eject it into the environment. Let's talk now about the Open 19 version 2 data enhancement. We are enabling double the number of the connectivity pins for every one of the servers to enable to go into higher speeds and to higher capacity per server. The new system will support up to 400 gig per server and will enable you to actually do a much more interesting solution in topologies in the system. We are also introducing an optical version of the interconnect for the Open 19 servers which will enable direct optical connectivity to the servers as part of the Open 19 offering. If you look at what we're doing, we're actually maintaining exactly the same configuration exactly the same blind-med connectivity just enhancing dramatically the capacity of networking that each and every one of the servers can actually accommodate. On the power side, for version 2, we are doing 4x the power per server. We're going to offer 1600 watts for every brick and 3200 watts for every RU of the Open 19 version 2. That is a 4x increase on the original version 1 and it's coming as a result of a very strong need to go into an environment where we have high GPU integration, very high-end CPU integration and an ability to actually range from very low power servers to very high power servers in the same integrated system. The power shuffle concept will be maintained and the server-by-server protection and monitoring will continue to be part of the Open 19 solution but in a much higher level of enhancement from a power perspective per server. Let's talk about Open 19 and sustainability. Open 19 works in two dimensions of sustainability. One is power efficiency and the other one is fast integration and elimination of fracking role. On the power efficiency side, because we operate with a centralized power system we can operate in a system which is a much higher level of efficiency in the conversion and as a result we eliminate a very large number of components which are power supplies directly into the servers, centralize it into a central space and enable to work in efficiency which are at 97% plus. This is very rare to see in standard data centers and it's one of the diamonds that Open 19 offers. The second one is the integration and that's a little bit more tricky. Why fast integration is actually sustainable? Fast integration is sustainable because in traditional data centers which utilize what's called rack and roll the servers and the racks are being packed twice, tested three times, shipped three times and powered on only after about seven stages of packing, unpacking, shipping, unshipping, docking and docking. In the Open 19 because you are not required to do rack and roll anymore and you can integrate on site very very fast there's a single cycle of shipping, a single cycle of unpacking and a single cycle of testing. That is tremendous savings on all the dimensions from the tracking to the testing to the packaging and the waste that you create in it. This is very important because it's actually enabling us to eliminate multiple aspects of data center waste and enabling us to be much more efficient with the way we actually treat that. Let's talk about the Open 19 project and Linux foundation. Let's talk about the Open 19 foundation history. The foundation was established in May 2017 and it was a community based solution for open source of hardware and parts of software. The foundation was launched in 2017 and during the first 18 months we achieved six founding members and 18 corporate members and over 2300 individual community members. That community was very strong and very tight and drove into adoption of the technology very very fast. It was a business friendly but also a business oriented open source environment which enables the participants to still have business value to still create a differentiating product even though you operate in an open source environment. We're currently 12 companies since we joined the Linux foundation and here are let's look at the 2021 membership at the Linux foundation. We have two premier members, Cisco and Equinix and nine different members from different disciplines of consumption, production and manufacturing of the Open 19 platform. You can see the brand names on the slide in front of you. Let's talk about the new program that we're working towards. As an open source platform we're trying to create certification for compliance into the Open 19 spec. The Open 19 certified program is in progress right now and in development to create a full compliance model for open source technology to enable smooth integration and no need at the end users to actually run real run integration again and again and again. We're trying to do this based on a sub-certification of the suppliers and the program is actually in evolution right now so stay tuned for more information about it. In summary, the Open 19 is about defining a common form factor. It's not about defining servers. It's about creating a community collaboration to solve the problems that are being addressed by everybody. It's based on a common infrastructure which fits into a standard 19-inch solution. V1 is in production since 2018 and V2 is going to go into production in Q1 of 2022. The Open 19 is actually a standard in development constantly. We constantly evolve it and enhance it and create different extensions to it. We would love for you to participate in it if you're interested. Stay tuned and go to open19.org for more information. With that, I want to thank you very much for taking the time for listening to this and I appreciate the time from the Linux Foundation.


Hey guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to share my mid-year curriculum review for my pre-care So if any of you guys are new here to my channel again, my name is Brittany I'm a homeschooling mom to three girls ages 11 4 and 2 and I'm in my third year of homeschool So you guys like I am so proud of myself For being very consistent with my pre-care I look back at my original curriculum picks that I picked out for her and nothing much really has Changed for her. Um, only thing that has changed so far is the levels We either have moved up in levels of certain pieces of curriculum or I moved down in levels So, um, other than that, we have been pretty consistent with her routine. I know on my channel I do want to start making more content Sharing what I am doing with my pre-care and my preschoolers since my younger two daughters They are actually starting to learn more and be more a part of our homeschool So you guys in no particular order, I'm going to go ahead and share some of the curriculum pieces We have used this semester in our mid-year curriculum review some of the curriculum pieces we have finished and How we are going to plan our upcoming school year starting off in january for My four-year-old layup. So first and foremost, we actually started off our school year doing a gentle and classical preschool We started this one off in april because I was so excited to do this program you guys This program is a really really a sweet preschool Program it has a lot of different components to it where she has she has learned Memory statement cards. She's learned all about things all about herself like she's learned her Her name her address her a telephone number. Um, just different things like that. Um, this actually goes over The alphabet it doesn't have any like type of phonetics program But it does go over just the recognizing of alphabets and it does have a math component that incorporates preschool math at home with it Okay, you guys I'm going to give you a brief overview of how a week of a gentle and classical preschool looked in my home school So this is the unit we left off on which was unit 26 and the letter of that week was z Here is our literature that we read the whole week, which was zen zen a violin I typically would check out my books from the library So as far as the other components that I would do in the program The first component is the nursery rhyme and the nursery rhyme for this week was jack and his fiddle The manners and hygiene card was I can sit still and listen and then I would read this poem to the kiddos all week long We would have a math flash card that will go along with our preschool math at home chapter that we were working on and this week We were finishing up chapter seven which went over simple addition and subtraction and this Cute card was just like a reminder of the concept. We were going over in the preschool math at home book The next thing in this program was the catechism that we would go over and these both had a song to it And it was really really cute the kids learning all of their different catechisms through this program And the last thing that we would go over was our Scripture memory verse and again this right here. It's called song for saplings It's a youtube playlist with all of these bible verses songs and the kiddos will memorize their scripture Memory work through song, which is really really cute Along with the gentle and classical preschool. I did the additional Add-ons for the ages three to four year olds and we would read this book Which was our devotion which was called big thoughts for little people So this week again, we were on letter z So I would read this short devotion Which was a z is for zebra or zebu ozu got made all of his creatures and he made you too So we'll have a cute home A small devotion and then these questions will go along with the picture seeking fine Which my daughter loved and then it had another little memory verse for The week we would go over this book all week long We would then do our poetry in this book called the lama who had no pajamas And we would read our poetry Reading for that whole week out of this book as well Along with our preschool morning binder on fridays What we would do is we typically would do a lettercraft and this week I did a lettercraft on the letter z where we painted the z as zebras So this would be a full week of a gentle and classical preschool a quick little overview But I really really enjoyed a gentle and classical preschool We used the preschool morning binder which I put in my little dry erase sheets where every day she was going over all about her She had to write her name right here. And this is how she actually learned how to write her first name We went over her age and right here in this component She actually started wanting to write all of the numbers So she actually knows how to write all of her numbers one through five just by continuously practicing this page In the morning, we would go over her emotions how she's feeling We would go over the days of the week the months of the year And then she began to identify the actual days of the month and she started to be able to write the numbers down here On her preschool morning binder As the time and the months went on when she was able to start writing some of her numbers Each week, uh, we would go over the weather for the day the season and the temperature outside And then each week, whichever letter corresponded with a gentle and classical preschool We had our letter of the week and this one is just the last letter that I have in from when we did it Which was z uh, we can actually do a lot of things on this page where we can build the letter using Some math manipulatives we can use play dough blocks whatever we wanted to to build the letter z on this page And then she had an opportunity on um, the next page to be able to identify and write out her letter z And identify which letters is z in here And then she always would have some type of math or corresponding sheet that corresponded with the preschool math at home By cate snow. So you guys, um, we completed this program in the first week of december and overall this program Was so great. My daughter has learned so much. Um We didn't read all of the literature and we didn't do all of the components with this program. Um, however, uh, the components We did do I thoroughly enjoyed it and I do want to make a separate video Really dedicated it to a gentle and classical preschool and maybe even showing you guys Us doing a lesson of a gentle and classical preschool even though we completed the program So if any of you guys are interested in this you can kind of see all the moving parts and how it actually works out But overall I love this program and I definitely can see myself doing this one again So you guys um as far as uh, lias phonics instruction We did two things I did I did want to go ahead and do all about reading level one with her But I found out that she wasn't quite ready for it Even though she does know her um all of her letter sounds and she does uh, know how to sound out some cvc words For the pace that the all about reading level one had she wasn't quite ready to make that next leap So what I did was I began the all about reading pre reading program with her And I'm so happy that I did this program with her. Um, alaya. She actually does have a speech delay So by me spending that extra time working on those letter sounds and those rhyming skills It actually has helped out a lot with her speech Her speech therapist actually noticed a difference in her speech when we started this all about reading pre reading program We are not uh all the way through with this program. We're probably going to be finished with this program in the next couple of months Um, however, we have definitely been enjoying doing the lessons with this. Uh layout definitely loves ziggie the zebra Um, I love adding in ziggie the zebra the component. Um, she has little flashcards that she uses with her rhyming games and um She loves all the arts and crafts that we do along with this program I do again want to show you guys as doing a lesson of the all about reading pre reading program But i'm so happy that I decided to go ahead and add in this for her phonics instruction since the gentle and classical preschool Didn't really have any phonics instruction. It just went over letter recognition And uh actually writing out the letters Something else that I had for alaya for phonics was get ready for the cold Which is the beginning series for the books a b and c we really wasn't that consistent with this get ready for the cold So hopefully um since we have finished off a gentle and classical preschool We can add in get ready with the cold along with her all about reading pre reading and be a little bit more consistent With her uh phonics instruction But overall the lessons that we did complete in it. She enjoyed she loved using her coloring page and um overall The explode the cold series is definitely a great one, especially if you have like a pre reader um Something else that we did uh for alaya again was math and like I shared with you with the gentle and classical preschool It was through preschool math at home and you guys like this little 16 dollar workbook for math It is like gold like I would recommend this to any parent just because this book right here is really a guy It has different activities that you're going to be doing as a parent that's going to help Your kiddos built strong Foundations when it comes to math it focuses a lot on subitizing where they're able to just recognize numbers Just by looking at them instead of counting them They're doing like a lot of skills, especially um, they're doing early addition and subtraction. Um, they're doing concepts where You have to show them. Um, how many fingers do I have holding up and they have to tell you for But then they also have to let you know how many fingers are um, you're holding down Which is one. So, um, this book right here. I love the hands-on math approach And it definitely was a great addition in our home school. I do have a busy body So lea, uh, me having activities like this where I just have to read it And I'm setting out the activities that we're playing like playing store with pennies and things like that She was really engaged with all of the fun math things and I can definitely attest and let you know Her math skills are like so great and I'm so happy. I did this program with her um, I originally seen this program from um What's her name rachel from seven and all and jasmine from one caffeinated mom They shared this uh preschool math at home program that they did and um, I was interested I went ahead and got it and I'm so happy uh that I did So, um since leia has completed this program in our second semester What we're going to do is we are going to finish off our kenny garden math for confidence I was so excited you guys So this month we went ahead and started it. We actually completed the first week of um Kenny garden math with confidence We haven't been that consistent because you guys this is december We are definitely on holiday mode here in our home school.  Um, so I'm just going to pick back up this bad boy In january and we're going to be really really consistent with this program But so far she has risen through the lessons the workbook pages. You guys are so cute But the meat of this curriculum is in the uh teacher's guide If you want me to make a separate video about uh, kenny garden math with confidence I will and I'm going to link below some videos that um, some of my fellow youtuber friends have made on kenny garden math With confidence if you guys want to see something like right now about this program But it's such a great and affordable math program So for handwriting, uh, we did um The get ready handwriting without tears, which is my first preschool book and you guys I definitely love doing the preschool handwriting without tears Book briel my oldest daughter She actually started off the handwriting without tears with the cursive book And I just had to start off leah with a younger book. Um, I really really love utilizing this chalkboard right here Where I would write out the letter and then she would take a sponge and follow the correct formation and write in the letters And she would practice it this way and practice it on the chalk. She would practice the chalkboard All week long and then on friday She would actually write out her letter whichever letter of the week we were working on or number in her, uh, get ready For the what is it get ready for the school handwriting without tears book So, um, I love utilizing both of these components of this, uh, program and it was really really great We're halfway through with this book. We're actually on the alphabet review So I went ahead and I got the next handwriting without tears book, which is kickstart for kenny garden Which is their pre-k book. So, um, we'll be finishing off this in january and then moving into the purple book for leah So she's so excited. She already seen her next book, uh, which goes over the lowercase letter So this book right here only went over the uppercase letters and the numbers And then now we're going to review the uppercase letters and start going over the lowercase letters in the kickstart for kenny garden book And we still can utilize our chalk our chalkboard, which I really really loved Now some of our fun units that we have done in supplemental things we have done for, uh, leah Which we haven't really been consistent with but we still really really enjoyed in our home school Was plan preschool. So you guys we completed four units out of the plan preschool and we really really have enjoyed them We did the apples unit the colors unit the nursery rhyme unit and the clothing unit Um, this whole school year. Um, so she really really enjoyed when I added in a fun unit Uh with leah as far as like her schooling goes and I definitely love plan preschool so much I cannot wait for us to dig in and do some more units. Um next semester Especially since we have finished a gentle and classical preschool We are going to pull this baby back out and do some of the fun Hands on learning units, uh with this we actually did a few of the alphabet, uh portfolio that goes along with this And I'm going to go ahead and share with you guys some of the alphabets Uh of the portfolio that we have already done and some of the arts and crafts that we got up to when we did our Units but overall you guys I definitely love this hands on fun unit based program You can utilize plan preschool alone as a standalone curriculum. However, I still wanted to incorporate Handwriting and phonics because this actually doesn't have those two components in it And something else that we did supplemental was uh cutting skills I use these kumon cutting books and these melissa and duck cutting books and also this kumon pasting book To work on those fine motor skills for leah. She actually has master's skills of cutting now So she's able to cut out. I mean, it's not perfect But she finally has you know gotten the use of the scissors and i'm so happy I had these books to practice with her Another thing I did you guys was I took a just regular paper With markers and I had her follow the line to practice cutting But she definitely loves all of these books I think this book right here the cow book is what she calls it is her favorite book as far as Her cutting skills and things like that and she typically we're working on like her cutting skills and things like that in the morning Before we did our uh bible time. So you guys, uh, this is like my mid-year review for uh leah my pre-care She did so well uh this school year and i'm so so so excited to continue off The rest of our school year. Um, so we are going to just continue off using um our kenny garden math book confidence our kenny garden handwriting and our Plan preschool and then also two are all about reading and explore the code It's going to be like all of the things and the resources i'm going to use Since we finished up our gentle and classical preschool. So you guys, I really hope you enjoyed today's video Please let me know if you do want to see more preschool and content. I definitely will make some for you guys Thank you so much for watching today's video and I look forward to seeing you guys in my next one. Bye
