My name is Erwin de Souza, I'm a JIT compiler developer at IBM and I'm also a committer at the OpenJ9 project and I'm here to talk to you guys about an exciting project that we've been working on called JIT Completion of the Service. But first, a slide to make the lawyers happy. So what is OpenJ9? You guys might have already heard about it before on the previous talks but it is an independent implementation of a Java virtual machine and you create a complete JDK by combining it with the class libraries from OpenJDK and actually it came from the IBM J9 VM and in fact the J9 VM right now the IBM SDK actually currently uses and is built with OpenJ9 and so the project I'm going to talk to you about is actually prototyped using OpenJ9. So these are some of the things you might already know about a JIT or just in time compiler. JIT Completion takes CPU time and memory from the application in order to compile and optimize code and the idea is that if we run long enough we usually break even and while this has been true for big monolithic applications it is less so for smaller distributed shorter cloud running applications and the reason for that is because JVM sometimes need to operate in small spaces. If you take a monolithic application that has been broken down into services which is what you want to do if you want to run in a cloud each of these services might have their own JVMs and in which case they might have their own JITs and so there's a lot of duplicated work happening in these services. In addition now that the services are smaller you might decide hey we don't need that much space let's just take a machine for example in this case 8 cores 8 GB and split it up into virtual machines and in that case you're now running a JVM in a constrained environment so not only do you have duplicated work we're compiling the same methods over and over again for example string methods in the string class or methods in hash map but you're also limited by the amount of space you have in these machines and so the question we asked was what if we could JIT compile out of process or on a different machine or on a cluster of machines and then maybe have the JIT have its own CPUs and memory resources and serve multiple applications and share code between the different applications and so the answer that we came up with was JIT as a service. The idea is to treat JIT compilation as any other cloud service we ramp up and down resources based on load and load here is compilation request and by doing so we can containerize it and manage it manage it intelligently using Kubernetes or something and we can share the results across the components and across applications and what we're hoping for by doing this is we have better resource control for compilation and better scalability because the compilation or the JIT traditionally runs in process it has to steal resources from the application and it can only steal so many resources if it took everything then you wouldn't get any real work done by moving it away from the JVM we have the option of scaling it as much as we need to based on its requirements we also get amortization of the cost of compilation because we can share the code across the different applications it only has to be compiled once we get improved reliability from the application because in the case where the compiler crashes it doesn't bring down the entire application it crashes somewhere else and we can also now have better provisioning of resources for the application itself the users don't have to worry about do they need to size their containers to take into account memory needed by the compiler or what not of course there are concerns that we had as well network latency is a big one traditionally compilation occurs at a time when the application is sensitive to ramp up by that I mean the time it takes to reach peak throughput but now that we're moving it off officer off process or on a different machine we're at the mercy of the network security obviously is another big concern we're now communicating on a channel that was previously completely internal to the JVM but now we're speaking outside of it there's also network reliability issues what happens when you're in the middle of a compilation and the network breaks down what is the fallback plan and of course the last one was would all this work actually pay off would offloading it to a different machine work and so where are we right now with the current prototype that we have it's available on github and I put the two links up there for you guys it is also there at the very end if you don't get a chance to take a picture now it currently supports all the optimizations that almost all the optimizations done by the open J9 jet it communicates fully over the network by using raw sockets and proto buffs and currently it's a single server multi client model and it also supports open SSL it can also run all the open J9 test suites as well as many enterprise benchmarks and so let's get a bit into this at a very high level it is a client server model as I mentioned before with bi-directional bi-directional communication what happens is a complete when the completion begins when the completion request is sent to the server and it ends when the completion server returns the compile body back to the client and during the compilation the server can make an arbitrary number of queries to get information about the class info profile info hierarchy info and the reason needs to do this is because we've only moved the compiler off-process we haven't moved the entire JVM environment as the compiler has no notion about what is valid in this particular JVM's environment and so in order to make optimization decisions it needs to query the JVM the client about it so let's get into it a bit deeper there's eight steps involved and I'll go into each of these briefly but I want you to notice that steps one two and eight are essentially the same as what happens in an in-process JIT we request a compilation it gets processed it gets compiled and then we install it in the code cache and so from the JVM's point of view nothing has really changed if the JVM doesn't need to know whether the JIT is in process or out of process it's the separation happens at the JVM JIT interface so in step one we generate a compilation request which gets put in the compilation queue step two the call the request is processed by the compilation thread on the client and completion thread here is a bit of a bisnomer because it's not actually doing the compilation it more facilitates the compilation but anyway once it processes the request it sends the remote request to the server where there is a socket listener thread that's listening for these requests and when it receives such a request it will place it on the compilation queue on the server side and what it does here is not just place the request but also the socket descriptor so that when the compilation thread on the server needs to make queries against the client it doesn't need to go through the listener thread you can just directly communicate with the client so in step five the completion thread on the server will pick up the request and start compiling and as I mentioned before it will need to make runtime queries every so often and then finally when it's done compiling it will return the compile body back to the client at which point we relocate install it and then the JVM now has a compile body that it can run and so that's the general process of how it all works how does it perform so I'm going to go through four different areas of performance that we measured throughput memory footprint how does it perform in a constrained environment and also how does it perform with the cloud because after all this is a service so the setup we had was we ran it with two x86 Linux machines where we connected them with a direct Ethernet cable on machine one we had the actual JIT server MongoDB and Jmeter each of them running in their own Docker incident containers and that on machine two we had a Java e ACME or benchmark running on top of Liberty app server ACME is a benchmark that simulates flight reservation system and Liberty is a dynamic composable server application runtime environment and so here's the graph we see for throughput and by throughput I mean throughput over time the blue line is the baseline open J9 with the in-process JIT and the orange line is the open J9 using JIT as a service and as you can see throughput is about the same ramp up is a little bit worse because of the network latency that occurs naturally when you're communicating over a network and by ramp up here I mean the time it takes to get from start to peak or steady-state throughput and so we don't have to sacrifice peak throughput and the network latency is tolerable and can be mitigated for optimized next we look at memory consumption memory footprint and here specifically we measured resident set size the blue line again is a baseline open J9 where you see all the spikes that occur because of the compilation memory that needs to happen whereas the orange line is much more stable because we don't have the compilation overhead all of the memory is dominated by the application and the heap and so what we can get take away from this is that the applicant the user doesn't need to worry about the JIT they can just size their containers for their application and just move on next we ran throughput in a constrained environment and by and by this I mean we changed the ACME container to run it with only 64 megs of RAM and half a CPU the green line here is the baseline open J9 and the blue line is open J9 with JIT as a service and you can see that the JIT as service run here performs much better the reason the J9 run performed so badly is because it only has 64 megs of RAM and so as the applications heap fills up the compiler has less and less memory to work with to the point where it can't compile anything and we're stuck interpreting whereas JIT as a service run doesn't have any of those problems because all of the compilation has been offloaded it just gets the compiled body and can move on we include our hotspot here because we wanted to verify to ourselves that open J9 wasn't just performing badly it basically just shows what a tough environment a constrained environment like this is for a traditional JVM if you're curious to spike certain GC pauses and then finally we ran it just as a service for IBM Cloud Private which I refer to as ICP ICP is a platform for developing and managing on-prem containerized applications and so we had four worker nodes here one of them was open J9 with the in-process JIT another one was running with the remote JIT server we also had the actual JIT server and then we had MongoDB and so here is the performance we see for those that run as you can in the top left we have throughput over time and again as you can see throughput is a lot it's about the same year but ramp up is much worse and the reason for that is unlike the other experiment where the two machines were connected with the direct Ethernet link which means that the ping time was about 0.2 milliseconds here you're completely at the mercy of the network and so the latency is much more obvious in the bottom you see the bottom left sorry you see the memory usage and again it looks about the same as the previous slide where the JIT as a service line is much smoother and represents really the heap or whatever is in the resident set size of the heap on the top left you see the CPU usage of both the in-process JIT and the JIT as a service client there's a big spike in the beginning of the baseline because you have all the compilation occurring but you don't have that big spike with the JIT as a service client you do however have more memory use more CPU usage than one would expect and the reason for that was because of all the network communication it was kind of a shock to us that network communication took up that much CPU but it's something that we're now looking into mitigating and at the bottom right you see the CPU usage of the server which you can see is more spread out because one of the network latency aspect and it's also more than it should be because along with the compilation it's also suffering from the network CPU usage problem so that's where we are with the JIT as a service model right now where are we going with this well first we want to now work on sharing compilations between clients the prototype as it stands right now is a one-to-one model where if you have two applications and you connect to the the server it will compile the same method twice but that's not something that needs to be done and really it may help in a constrained environment but you don't get the cost of the amortization benefits of doing so we want to finish the implement implementing the remaining optimizations so that the open the JIT as a service run performs equivalent to the baseline run we want to experiment with mixing low-color and more compilations so that as a mitigation factor for what happens if the network goes down I mean maybe there's maybe it takes so long or maybe the network in the server is so bogged down with requests you don't want to wait too long to get your compiled body maybe it's better to just compile it locally we want to improve latency of course for the CPU partly to improve ramp-up partly to deal with the CPU resources but also the experiments that we did before we ran without encryption the moment you enable encryption as the more prototype stands right now every single completion request will do the handshake which means that we reduce ramp-up even more and so that's another thing that we want to look into where we can try and maybe cash the the handshake once it's done so that we don't have to keep doing it over and over again once we've established a connection that we trust and finally we want to merge this back into the open j9 master currently it sits in the clips open j9 but in its own branch and a lot of work has been done to sort of separate it and and have it run independently but eventually we do want to move it back so that it's one big happy project here are some links as promised the top two links are the source code you can get and take a look at it is very much active development and and an area where we're more than happy to get contributions and suggestions or whatever ideas you might have feel free to message us on the open j9 slack channel I included the open j9 website so you can get instructions on how to join the slack channel the link is way too big to put here and finally if you're interested in a demo which I was not brave enough to do one of my co-workers did a demo at code one and so you can follow the YouTube link and take a look at how all of this works and if you have any other questions feel free to ping me or the open j9 slack channel because people are actively listening that's it thank you for your time I'll take any questions if you haven't so thanks those are interesting so how many requests do you back calls do you do usually for a compilation so because I don't directly work on this I don't know the exact numbers I do know it's a lot and they they have been working on reducing it quite a bit because in the beginning it was just ridiculous I don't have exact numbers though but if you if you either email me or you message on the slack channel the people who are working will either email me and I'll forward the request or message on open j9 slack and they'll have answers for you I just I don't have it on fan and could you give some indication of what data you're passing in the initial request and what type of data you have in the back request so I'm not sure of obviously all the details but we do pass the bytecodes obviously as well as some other I'm not sure in the beginning what metadata is sent for sure the bytecodes and I think I think the bytecodes of all the entire class of the method just in case it needs to inline other things when we send it back we send metadata about how to relocate it in the new space as well as stack maps in line table GC maps all of that information that it needs so that it can install it properly and do all the right when the GC occurs it knows what's going on and whatnot so that's the information we have to send back to the client so profiling data we request I believe in between so the profiling happens in the client and if we need profiling data we just sort of normally we have an IProfiler we'll just say IProfiler give me a request but now that's been separated over an API so we'll just say give me IProfiler data on the client because the compiler doesn't really know it just says I'm a private file a data goes over the network client gives it back and it does so with proto-buff so that it can maintain the structures and whatnot did you look at security issues for the compiler itself because now the code can trigger better overflows in the compiler yeah so I mean security is something that is obviously going to be a concern right now it's still very much in the prototyping stage we've sort of like looked into the for the security of just the communication so you don't have any problems there but in terms of the server the compiler you're right there's there's gonna have to be eventually in you know more time spent into making sure that we are mitigating every single possible because we don't want to send obviously code that can now disrupt the server I mean or bytecodes or whatever you have to have some some notion of this the client is a trusted client and but obviously it's still prototyping so we haven't got that far into the specifics but you're right security is still very much a concern that's not gonna go anywhere especially when you go distributed I have two quick questions here one is have you considered the use case of using it locally because it seems like you're very much focusing on over the network but it seems to me that with the current way of having containers if you have like one container which is the compiler and then money containers so you definitely could it's talking over the network but if you defines that the whole idea was remove it out of process so that way you're right you could just have if you change the the communication protocol you could easily have it so that yeah you have one container and then talk over talk to the other ones I guess that this is a more general problem of like if you're if your if your containers are running on one provision to set up resources and maybe it's better to move it somewhere else but you definitely could do it that way too yes and my second question is now that you have the compiler completely separate from the the VM have you considered playing with like changing the compiler a lot or plugging in other compilers now that it's quite separate so because this is done in open J9 and the compiler JVM interface is quite tight you would need to reimplement all the you could do as long as you implement the I guess the JVM JIT interface levels I suppose theoretically you could try and plug in a different compiler if you had it it's just you would need to talk to the J9 the J open J9 VM in the same way and know how to interpret the data in the same way but again theoretically yes you're right it could be done have you look at check record and are you signing the codes that you are sending of his unit work right now I don't know if I'm actually not sure about the answer for that because it's still very much in a prototype space we just sort of have a network call and I guess the network call could be augmented to do what you're saying but at the moment we don't we're still trying to get it you know going to a more better standard than it is right now we're still improving it so but if you want a proper answer you just email me or ask us to slack channel and the people who know more about it will be able to answer you for sure would it be make any sense to actually kind of replace the on-demand compilation was kind of ahead of time compilation because then when you start the app you technically can send like the whole application to the clouds did compile and yeah so I mean we open G9 does have a OT after all but one of the big problems they OT is if you specialize too much you lose the ability to share meaning that it's very like all you need is you know one they should say you profile so you got profiling information in one run and that happened to work it may not work in the second run in which case you can't share that code anymore and so with this one you you get a one-to-one mapping for each one now of course when it comes time to share code you're gonna have to deal with the same problem where you need to find you know what is the best answer but but that's that is that is the other area of you know what you can do in this case this is again a general problem for when you have constrained environments for example where you maybe you you want to have all your services you can't afford to sort of pre-populate your cash on the machines that are running the service so maybe it's just it makes more sense to or you're running in an app in a sort in a cloud environment where you don't know where these things are and where the cash is gonna sit you just have machines generated for you just like they just pop up so in that case it's harder for you to say I'm gonna put the cash over here it's it becomes a it becomes a problem almost what's all over here with have a have a thing that'll do it for you and at the end of the day with us with the sharing there's you know you can share on the client side you can share on the server side it's what what we're gonna do is still an open question and I mean suggestions you have are more than welcome including if you want to you know if you have any ideas or whatever we're more than happy to listen to you as in taking to what you have to say no problem all right thank you very much no problem

If you don't have the money because it is quite expensive now, then you need to become a scholar, which is what they call when Axie owners allow other players to play their Axie. It's win-win for both parties. The Axie's level up, becoming more valuable. You earn SLP or in-game items that you can trade for real money. That's usually may profit sharing yan between the manager or the owner of the Axie and the one actually playing. Easter El says, from YouTube says, green lang po na kikita.

Anyone who wants the U.S. to attack Iran is an enemy of humanity. Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. Anyone who wants the U.S. and its allies to attack Iran is a psychopath.  A new CNN report says multiple Biden administration officials, quote, saw Iran's attack on Israel Saturday as disproportionate to Israel's strikes in Damascus that prompted the retaliation, end quote. There are zero reported fatalities as a result of the Iranian retaliation. The Israeli strikes on the Iranian embassy in Damascus killed 16 people, including multiple high-level Iranian military officials. To see Iran's response as disproportionate is to admit you believe Israeli lives are worth literally orders of magnitude more than Iranian lives. And it was an embassy for God's sake. Israel can assassinate 16 people while shattering decades of diplomatic norms and in the eyes of the U.S. that's still not as bad as Iran creating a few potholes in an Israeli street.  When Iran attacks, the response needs to be proportionate. But when Israel incinerates Gaza over October 7th, it's LMAO.  Laugh cry emoji, Israeli flag. Tweet from Ali Abunimah. Video I just received shows the Berlin police arresting the spokesperson of Jewish voice for peace in Germany, Udi Raaz, as horrified onlookers shout never again amid these scenes so reminiscent of Germany's Nazi past. Quote by Caitlin. No, no, you don't understand. This time Germany is rounding up Jews to fight anti-Semitism. After six months of mass murder and chaos, the only thing that looks more absurd than the claim that Israel is morally superior to other nations in the Middle East is the claim that the United States is morally superior to other nations in the world. No matter how low your opinion was of Western power structures and Western civilization, if you've been watching events of the last six months with sincerity, it will have sunk even lower by now. Tweet from the Spectator Index. Breaking, NBC News reports that President Joe Biden has privately expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to drag the US more deeply into a broader conflict. It's so obnoxious how the mass media are helping the White House pretend that this is something the Biden administration is just passively sitting around hoping doesn't happen. As though the US hasn't had the power to end all this every single day for the last six months. It's just an easily quantifiable fact that the Trump administration was vastly less war-like and murderous than the Biden administration has been. This doesn't mean Trump wasn't war-like and murderous. It doesn't even mean Trump wouldn't have been doing more or less the same evil things that Biden has been doing if he'd won in 2020.  It's possible that as the United States was first beginning to move toward planetary hegemony, there were some empire managers operating in good faith who sincerely believed US unipolarity could be a force for achieving world peace. It's doubtful that everyone constructing this monstrosity has been an evil, mustache, twirling, cartoon villain who wanted to see nonstop violence, oppression, and nuclear brinkmanship inflicted upon populations around the globe. But that's what wound up happening. And of course it did. The belief that a regime can take over the world by any amount of force necessary and create peace and prosperity for all was always a poorly reasoned fantasy of deeply unwise minds. Of course there are going to be populations who refuse to be subjugated and some of them are going to have nuclear weapons and others will have conventional weapons but defend their sovereignty tooth and claw. Most of the violence and Cold War brinkmanship you see in international conflicts today is a direct result of this dynamic. The US centralized empire's foreign policy is one long and unrelenting war against disobedience. It is simply not possible to bring the entire human species under one single power umbrella without copious amounts of violence and tyranny. If we keep going along this trajectory, the empire's war on disobedience is going to lead to nuclear armageddon someday.


Hi my name is Scott Amos and today we're going to work some four year olds this morning and we've been at the BI for three weeks so we're going to work these horses and kind of get the cow fresh off of them and I appreciate you guys coming out and learning about my program and today I'm going to work on just finding the middle of the cow and slowing down and reading that stop and we'll go give it a whirl and work this coat and I'll kind of show you how I start preparing them for a show after being cow fresh. A lot of this training is about being comfortable about working yourself more than your horse when I feel more comfortable about what I'm doing my horse is going to feel more comfortable about what he's doing finished up good right there and kind of slowed down read the cow finally so we'll quit him on a positive note there and it not only was it for him it was a positive note for myself so make sure you're not long going that way get through there all the way left foot come on come on kick all the way that stop all the way pull pull there you go now go come on all the way all the way you're short going that way and long coming to your left there


Hello, Oscillator Sync here. This is the Zoom Multistomp MS70 CDR and this is the Digitech Polara and these are two pedals which appear to be pretty common with the synthy community when it comes to giving your synths the greatest gift of all, Reverb. So I own both these pedals and I've recommended both of them at various different times to people but I realized I've never actually sat down and tried them kind of next to each other to work out what the relative strengths were and ultimately I guess you know decide which one I like better. So that's what I thought I'd do today in this video. So the video is kind of going to go like this. We're going to start out with a feature comparison if you like because they are quite different beasts really. Then we'll dive into kind of like a reverb pedal FAQ and try and to just answer some of those questions, pre-empt some of those questions I think are the common questions that get asked about reverb pedals and then we'll do a head-to-head sound test. We will listen to the comparable algorithms on the two pedals and we'll work out you know ultimately which one we like the best and then I'll save my opinion to write at the end of the video so I don't cloud your judgment when you are actually listening to and hopefully enjoying the sounds that these pedals put out. So let's start with the symbol of the two which is the Pallara. Lovely solid pedal like it's properly properly weighty actually this pedal. It really surprised me when I got it. We've got a very simple control layout. So here this knob here controls the various different modes of reverb. So we have a room, a plate, a reverse, a modulated, a halo which is kind of like a shimmer reverb. We've got the hall of course and then we have a spring mode as well. This knob here literally just controls the level of the wet reverb. That's all it does really straightforward. This one here is the decay. So that's how long your reverb tail is going to go on for and then we've got this control here which is labeled liveliness. What it does on the different algorithms kind of varies a little bit but sort of put generally turn it counterclockwise and things get more sort of dampened duller darker and you go the other way and you get sort of brighter splashier reverbs instead. Switch here is a clickless switch. A noiseless switch works very well. Good solid field despite that you don't get a click. This switch up at the top here is the tails switch.   At first glance on the zoom you think oh I've only got three knobs here this must be a simpler pedal but of course we've got a screen here and actually each of these knobs are also buttons and then you've also got these four buttons down here as well. It's actually quite a menu diving-y kind of pedal but what that means is that you also have potentially quite a lot more control. So each of the algorithms are essentially a virtual effects unit, a virtual pedal and you can select them by coming up and down here. You can jump to different categories of pedals by pressing and holding. You can when you turn one of the knobs you go into a menu and these menus are paged so you can have multiple pages. If I go to one of the more complex ones like this one I think if you go into the menu here we've actually got three pages of controls. You can save presets which of course you can't do on the Polara and probably the most exciting thing about the zoom is what the CDR stands for that's chorus delay reverb so this is not just a reverb pedal. This is a general sort of ambience multi-effect. It also has some compressors and some noise gates and some synthy type stuff in there as well but I think probably the thing which most differentiates this pedal from this one is the fact that you can have multiple pedals, multiple virtual pedals going on in a single preset so if you want to start with an ambience pedal and you want that going into a delay pedal you can do that so you can set up entire chains of effects on this which just take a second and go and have a look at the price. Yeah I know that's ridiculous. You can have I think I don't know what the maximum is there's kind of a maximum DSP usage basically but I've had like five different effects all running into each other, reverb after reverb after delay and it can get quite complicated and quite spacey so yeah this is kind of a much more complicated and potentially much more comprehensive pedal than the Polara but of course it depends on what you're after. Okay quick fire FAQ. Okay first up let's talk about power. The Polara is powered from a 9 volt DC adapter standard guitar effects adapter. The zoom will take an adapter as well but it will also run on two AA batteries not a 9 volt battery for some reason but two AA batteries which means that if you're someone who likes to go and jam out and about in nature that's a definite plus for the zoom. Okay next how do they deal with line level? Obviously guitar effects pedals are designed for a guitar and the guitar doesn't put out anywhere near as much signal as our synths would so first of all the Polara deals with it beautifully very high head room as far as I can tell. The zoom also deals with it fine most of the time but you do sometimes drive it into digital clipping on some settings if you are driving it hard. Okay here comes a big one is it stereo Polara yes absolutely stereo in stereo out zoom yes but some of the effects algorithms are only in mono so as long as you're using a stereo effect it will be in stereo if you switch from mono effect obviously it will be mono and as soon as you put a mono effect in the chain if you've got multiple effects it will squish it down to mono so you'll lose all of the width that you have before that. Right is it analog dry through Polara yes zoom no why is this important I don't want to get into a discussion about the various sonic qualities of the digital analog converters but what I will say is that if you put the Polara in an effects loop or in a an aux sender and a mixer you won't get any weirdness happening the zoom because it always goes to digital if you put it in an aux send you will sometimes get these nasty comb filtering sounds happening which you might want to avoid just something to bear in mind if you put it just straight in front of a synth into a mixer not a problem at all if you put it in an aux send just be careful about that comb filtering. Next does it go 100% wet Polara no the level control is the level of the reverb even with it cranked you will still get the dry signal coming through at unity the exception to that is on the reverse mode the reverse mode will only have the reverb that's 100% wet no matter what you do. So in terms of the zoom sometimes some of the algorithms like the HD Hall algorithm that we'll listen to in a minute the mix control does go 100% wet some of them have a an explicit dry kill switch and then some of them the mix is more like a level control in the same way as it is on the Polara so it depends on which algorithm you are using. So finally for you ambient guys out there do they go very very long and very very weird the Polara you've got a shimmer on there that's probably the weirdest thing on there and I guess by today's standards that isn't super weird so not that weird does it go super long not really not by sort of modern reverb standards potentially where on a lot of pedals we see things go to practically infinite reverb this doesn't go super super long it goes long compared to like vintage reverbs I guess but not like ridiculously ridiculously long zoom yes there are some very very weird algorithms on here and I will demo those separately when we get to the end of the video just so I can show them off a little bit does it go very very long yes some of the algorithms will go practically infinite so if you want to go very weird and very long the zoom certainly has you covered for that okay so now the bit that I suspect you've been waiting for let's do the sound comparisons so the Polara's got seven different algorithms room plates reverse etc etc so what I'm going to do is we'll listen to the two pedals with that sort of equivalent sound so we'll do a room on the Polara and a room on the zoom and then a plate on the Polara and a plate on the zoom and so on and then at the end of the comparisons I'll also just show off a couple of the weirder algorithms on the zoom I think they are worth talking about so those were the sounds right so here are my thoughts personally I think that on every algorithm the Polara sounded better and yeah it's as simple as that I think the Polara sounded better I think the Polara's reverbs sound better than the zooms that's not to say that the zooms sound bad particularly for example I think the plate on the zoom sounds great it's not super faithful I don't think as a plate sound but it gets really angry and dirty in a way that the Polara doesn't I will say though the plate mode on the Polara just sounds huge just wonderful and big and thick and white sounds better I think this one certainly has its place what I will say is that I think the shimmer on the zoom sucks like it's bad that's it and the flip side is that I think the halo mode as it's called on the Polara is lovely it shimmer can be a bit over the top but I think the Polara does it very very very tastefully so if someone came to me and just wanted a great sounding compact set and forget reverb I'm going to have to recommend the Polara every single time over the zoom but that's not the whole story is it because of course the zoom can do so much more multiple effects not just reverbs choruses and delays and even when we talk about just the reverbs this does some weird unique sound in reverbs as well so it's not as simple as me saying just buy the Polara if you want a better reverb pedal because my question really it should be is what do you want from your reverb pedal the zoom is massively more flexible it has presets you can stack up multiple effects and that can give you some really interesting sonic places so if you're a sonic adventurer and you want to do weird stuff then the Polara probably isn't going to be weird enough for you the Polara is tasteful beautiful sounding but it's pretty conventional actually all in the zoom on the other hand does not sound as lush does not sound as wide but it can do stuff that the Polara can't even begin to think about doing so if you like weird sounds if you like to tweak then the zoom might be a better shell or do what i've done and i guess get both and use them in the position that you want to use them in so anyway i hope that was interesting i hope that was helpful let me know in the comments which pedal you like the best which algorithms you thought sounded great feel free to ask any other questions i didn't already answer i'll try and get those answered for you in the comments i'd love to hear what you think i'd love to hear which one you went for if you were trying to decide between them and perhaps are there any other pedals that you want to see checked out in a similar sort of way um i can't guarantee that i'll be able to afford to buy every pedal under the sun but there are some at the lower end that i would be tempted to get maybe to do a video on um other than that thank you so much for watching as always until next time take care bye


Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're gonna look at the brand new bicycle elite from PenguinMagic and PenguinMagic.com. All right, so what is this deck? Basically this is the standard. It's the standard 808 Riderback, okay? And it's in red. Right now it's only currently available in red. And it's gonna be the deck that you're used to. You're not gonna find a different tuck case or card, ace of spades, jokers, or anything like that that you're not already familiar with or are not used to. But what PenguinMagic has done is that they have built in some things that I think a lot of magicians and a lot of card collectors really love. Let's get on into that right now. All right, I don't know if you noticed this, but the first thing you're gonna see is that this deck comes in the classic 808 tuck case, which means it has a picture of the card back on the back. And on the front there's no emblem or sticker or pulse or triangle off to the side that says now included or inside this deck. There's really nothing else on this. It's just a plain ordinary tuck case. There's also no tuck seal. All right, so why are a lot of these features important to a magician? Well, for one, a tuck seal gets in the way with getting your cards in and out. Obviously it leaves residue on your tuck case. But another key element to this is hiding a card on the back design. If I remove one of these cards for you, I'll show you what it looks like. Let's just say a spectator just looks like a card, they're just like the four diamonds, okay? And we do a card to box routine or something that involves the tuck case, okay? I can hide this four of diamonds on the back of the tuck case just like that and nobody is the wiser. When the back of the tuck case looks identical and there's no tuck seal, right? The tuck seal would give it away that there was a card hiding back here. You can hide a card right there on the back pretty easily. In fact, some magicians will do that and make it look like the card jumps out of the tuck case. You can't do that trick with the newer tuck cases, okay? So having the classic back, that's nice. A lot of magicians sometimes will also hide a card directly on top of the tuck case in plain view on the table. So that's also easier to do when the tuck back matches the card back, okay? So that's one advantage. There's another advantage with the face also. So some of the newer tuck case faces have like a promotion blast or some sort of advertising or decal logo or sticker on the corner.  There are some classic gaff cards out there that are the exact representation of what the front of the tuck case looks like. So it's nice to have the classic box to be able to do some of these effects that involve the card box. Another feature of the elite deck is that you're gonna get two gaff cards. You're gonna get a double backer and a blank face, which are great for magic. Now on a standard deck of bikes that you buy off the shelf, obviously you won't get that. You'll get two advertisement cards. So with the added feature of these two gaffs included, again, makes this deck great for magicians. So aside from the standard backs and standard faces, are there any other features that you can find on the elite deck? Yes, there's actually two. Number one, the cut. The cut of this deck is done in a traditional cut. Now this is different from a modern cut. And the traditional cut is more the cut that people who do gambling routines, especially table ferros, appreciate. And so if you like their traditional cut, you're not gonna get that on a standard deck of bikes. And so it's another great feature for the elite deck. And the second, besides cut, is of course stock. You're gonna get the new crush stock on these cards. So now what that means is it's a thinner deck of cards. When I take 10 of these cards and I stick them into the caliper and I measure them and compare them against other decks, the new elites come to 2.73. Now 2.73 is definitely on the thinnest end of the scale. Some of the decks that are down in the low 70s are definitely some of the thinner decks out there.  So right now to get the crush stock bikes, Penguin Magic is really the only place that'll carry them. Now in the future, we don't know because really bicycle is moving towards crush stock with all of their decks. And it might take a while for the crush stock paper to reach retail stores, but I would assume it's coming. I would assume it's coming since this is the way they're going with all of their entire line. But right now, if you compare apples to apples and you compare this deck say against another deck off the shelf, standard deck of bikes is about 2.83. 2.83, you might remember I even did the review for the black bikes a little while ago, and those came to 2.87. So that's roughly what bikes are measuring off the shelf. I've measured regular bikes as high as 2.94. So definitely in the 280s to 290s, that's definitely where bikes are currently. If you look at the Tally Hoes that I have right here, Tally Hoes are coming in at 2.86 and 2.87. So a little thicker even than standard bikes, which is odd because a lot of people always like to argue with me that Tally Hoes are thin stock and really they're about the same. They're really no thinner than a standard deck of bikes, but not so with the Penguin Elite. So if you want these Elite cards, if you want this new thin crush stock and you probably do, the only place you're gonna find it is at penguinmagic.com. All right, so you've watched this whole video and you're like, okay, I'm sold, David, I wanna buy them. How much are they? Well, that's the thing. There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is they're affordable. Penguin wants to make these affordable so that they are an affordable alternative to getting your bikes off the shelf. We know that you go out there to the store, you're buying these off the shelf, but you'd rather have a quality deck with the same appearance. And so Penguin is only gonna sell these decks for about four bucks a piece and they're only $40 for a brick. That's awesome. $40 for a brick, I would say, just buy them at a brick at a time because 40 bucks is nothing, okay? Right now, they're only available in red. I don't know if Penguin's gonna release them later in blue, but if that's something that you want, definitely make your voice heard. Let the people down at Penguin know. The bad news is they're already sold out. They're already sold out.  So, but I still wanted to tell you about them. Still wanted to let you know that they're out there. The good news is they're gonna be back in stock in early July. So in early July, they'll be back in stock. My suggestion is just wait. Wait till they're back in stock and get them then. I got my deck from penguinmagic.com and I'd like to thank Kevin Reilec and everyone down at Penguin for allowing me to have this so that I could do the review for you. Thanks, bye.


We have parts of the throw where we're gonna be, you know, on one leg. We're gonna transition to the other leg in the middle of the throw. That's why we break it down into our pillars. The big things you wanna focus on to get more out of your strength training program, more out of your throwing training. You wanna understand the critical importance of warming up. This is not the most exciting topic. However, it's one of those key details that you can leverage and use to get so much out of a practice or a gym session. Now remember, one of the things we talk about, we have a strength training course and we have soon to release our new Done For You training programs. And there'll be information later on. You can check that out. You wanna be able to start developing some work capacity.  You should be breaking a sweat. Now, you wanna do that not just running laps. We're throwers. We need to be dynamic. We need to be understanding. We need to have the critical importance of mobility in any athlete is vital. But in a thrower, it's especially important. We have parts of the throw where we're gonna be, you know, on one leg. We're gonna transition to the other leg in the middle of the throw. That's why we break it down into our pillars. And so one of the things we're gonna do is ankle mobility. We're gonna be working on athletic development, coordination, all of these sorts of things. We can encompass in a warmup. A warmup should be a tool to not just get you physically warm, but it can make you a better athlete and definitely more prepared for competition and training. And that's why you wanna start shifting the dial on how you approach your warmups. If you want information about how to include training specific warmups, we will have our restore program link coming soon. So be sure to check it out.


Good afternoon everyone. I'm Mukta Atre. I am the program manager here. I couldn't be here for the first few days of the workshop because I wasn't well, but I believe there are a lot of queries and my colleague and I, my colleague, Mrs. Gayathonde, who's our funds manager, she and I will try to answer as many questions as possible. We have a slot of about 20 minutes to about half an hour and then Professor Sudarshan wants to discuss details of the workshop. Many of you have seen this presentation before, but there are some people here whose centers are totally new. I believe there are about 25 to 30 people who are new to this entire concept. Anybody new here? Okay, I'll just rush you through our entire process and you, of course, we will be in touch with you through email and on the phone and you can ask us, you can clarify your doubts as and when you have them, but yeah, we can start the presentation, please. I'm going to skip through the history here. Very, very briefly, we started the project in 1989. We have conducted 13 workshops so far. This will be our 14th workshop. We have also entered the second phase of the NME ICT project on synchronous and asynchronous empowerment of teachers and students. We now have a tie-up with IIT Kharagpur. Many of you must have seen the advertisement for their workshop, which they will be holding in first week of June.  We normally hold our workshop in June, but because IIT Kharagpur was entering the field for the first time, we had to give them that slot. Hopefully things will be more streamlined as and when they get used to it. So, we have been doing all kinds of courses, all kinds of workshops so far, not just the core engineering subject workshops, but also some different workshops like solar photovoltaics and writing effective conference papers. We recently did also a course on research methodologies in educational technology that was also a very popular course. Next one, please. So, you all know what the methodology is. We identify some colleges across the country which have good infrastructure, which have good faculty who can support our own faculty during the workshops. So, that is how you all are here as coordinators to work during the workshops. Next, please. Now, these are the important people at the remote centers. You being the workshop coordinator, you are specific to the subject. That is the workshop that is being conducted at the moment, but there is also a remote center coordinator who takes care of all the logistics at your center. Many of you are also, I think for this particular workshop, many of you are also workshop coordinators and remote center coordinators and also Akash coordinators, I think, right? Yeah. So, those who are new for the workshop coordinators, you have to really concentrate upon the specific workshop at hand, helping out your participants during the workshop in problems related to the subject while your remote center coordinator looks after all the logistics and the extraneous infrastructure, as to say. Now, I cannot stress upon AvU enough. We have, especially the new centers, you all know the importance of AvU unless you are well connected to us through AvU and all your infrastructure is in place. You cannot have a workshop at your center at all. Just imagine, I've said this before and I'm going to say it again. Just imagine you have a class full of people waiting expectantly for the faculty from IT Bombay to start his or her session and you cannot hear him or you cannot see him. Just imagine what will happen. Since this is a project which is conducted through the distance mode, you have to give specific stress to having your AvU connections in place. We will start AvU testing, I think, on Monday, right? And please do stick to the schedules that you are given. If you do not, if your center does not test satisfactorily for AvU during these tests, we will not run the workshop at your center. That is how serious this is. Because there is no point, if your participants cannot hear or see the faculty at this end, there is no point in your center conducting the workshop at all. Most of you have already had access to Moodle. Have you, I mean the new people, have you all looked at the Moodle? Have you been given an exposure? Yes. So since this is a distance mode program, Moodle is one of the means in which we communicate with our participants. You have different forums on the Moodle where people can address questions and either the peers or the faculty or the TA at IIT, Bombay will reply to them. We expect to see a healthy discussion, healthy query solving happening on Moodle. And this is also the place where the daily activities will be put up. The schedule will be put up. And if there is any change in the schedule, everything will be put up on the Moodle. And sometimes we will also give quizzes on the Moodle. So when you set up your labs for the workshop, you will have to make sure that there are some machines which have internet access for your participants to attend to the quizzes. Okay, next please. Yeah. We have already sent you the brochures and I believe they reached you sometime last week. Yeah. Now online registration is going on the IIT Bombay website and we have extended the date up to 15th of May, but it will not be extended further. Even May 15th itself is quite tight, especially for my colleague to be able to send money across for you, for your centres to make preparations for the workshop. We calculate the money to be sent on the number of participants that are registered at your workshops. So that is why we have a cut-off date well in advance so that we can calculate the number of participants at your centres. Yeah.  But they should prove that they are teaching at a place and they should be able to provide some sort of a letter given to them by their heads of the institute. So that is something that you will have to check. We are also checking at our end, but on the first day that is something that you will have to check when your participants come to your centres. Yeah. As I said, there will be a rigorous testing schedule. Then we will be sending you the Creative Commons license and permission slips. As you know, we will be releasing the proceedings of these workshops in open source. And that is why we need permission from the participants to be recorded and for their recordings to be released in open source. All of you will be completely involved in conducting quizzes and helping the participants solving assignments and you will be using the model thoroughly. So please acquaint yourself with model. And we will also provide you help lines during the workshop. You will have a number which will take you directly to the system administrators at IIT Bombay. There will be one number which will put you in touch with the AVU team here and another which will put you in touch with the administrative team. So if there are any... And in addition to that, there will also be email IDs. We do answer our queries almost immediately. So please do not hesitate in answering... Sorry, asking any doubts that you have. Next, please. Yeah. The main workshop is expected to begin at 9 and end at 5.30. And these will be the breaks. The schedule will be mailed to all our workshop coordinators. And we'll also put it up on the model. After the 10 days of the main workshop, the participants will be expected to do another final assignment that will take up the next two weeks of their time. The faculty here will decide how the assignments are to be given, what the nature of the assignments will be, whether they should form groups or whether they should form groups centre-wise or whatever. The faculty here will decide and let you know. And it is your duty as workshop coordinators to take those assignments and upload them on the model. And only after that we will release the certificates to be given to the participants. Yeah. We will send you all the certificates. The certificates will have the signature of Professor Sudarshan, Professor Fatak and yourself as the workshop coordinator. So we will send the signed certificates to you and you will sign on them and distribute them to your participants. Now, we partly fund the workshop at your centre. You will understand partly because my colleague will explain now. Now that we have moved into the second phase, parts of the funds have been diminished. It used to be much more comprehensive earlier, but now since we have come into the second phase, since our workshops have grown to include almost 10,000 participants at a time, obviously the funds will have to diminish. She will explain in more detail. And then we will need your bank details. We will tell you exactly how to send us these bank details on Monday. Yeah, Monday she will send you a mail about how exactly she wants you to give her the bank details. Now please remember these bank details are not your personal bank details. They are the details of your institute bank account. No, I mean, we have conducted 13 workshops and we still have at least five people who said in there was personal account details. We still do. So unfortunately I have to say this every time. And yeah, we will send you the details. We will send you the funds through RTGS and you are required to get back to us whenever you receive them. Yeah, next one. The funds, she will explain in more detail. They will include some travel allowance, food, lodging, boarding, expenses, only if you are offering outstation, if you are offering lodging for outstation participants, then all printing, photocopying, postal, courier charges, etc. then Honoraria for all the coordinators, your TAs and the other support staff. And there will be some institute overheads. We will need a proper utilization certificate at the end of the two weeks. These bills have to be submitted to us with your CA certificate. Earlier we used to say okay for your accounts officer, but now MHRD has made it mandatory for us that these utilization certificates be certified by a CA. And we will talk about the budget a little bit more in detail. And these are the workshops we have conducted so far, 13 in three years. And some statistics, I can share this on model if you are interested later on. Next one, please. And this is our project team, Mrs. Jaishila Gayathonde. She is the funds and accounts person. Sajan Dixit, you all have interacted at one point or other. He looks after the E studio. Then we have Mahendra Parmar and Sarita, who you may have seen in the background all these five days, looking after all of you. Then we have Kalpana Kannan. She looks after our content team. And Abhilash, who's the head of the system administrator's group. And we also have Dinesh Ramjay, who helps with the online registration and any queries that you have about online registration. So that was the logistics part. Now I'll hand over the mic to Jaya to explain the funds. Good afternoon, everybody. We'll now see the financial support for the DBAB's main workshop. The whole process will be in three steps, fund transfers, fund utilization and final settlement. Now for the fund transfers, we require bank details of all the remote centers. This is the format in which all remote centers will furnish their bank details to us. This format will be mailed to you. The bank account has to be in the name of the institute and it should not be any personal name. The funds will be transferred to remote center's bank account before the main workshop starts. Now we come to the next step, that is the fund utilization by remote centers. The funds are to be utilized strictly as per the sanction budget and the utilization guidelines. Interhead fund adjustments are not allowed. Now we have already mailed you the soft copy of the budget and also hard copy is provided. The budget is in two parts, fixed cost and a variable cost. Under fixed cost we have three subheads, honorarium to various team members, miscellaneous expense budget and institute expense budget. Honorarium of rupees 13,000 each is provided for the remote center coordinator and workshop coordinator. If the duties of both these coordinators are performed by one person then the honorarium amount becomes 20,000. Honorarium is also provided for system administrator, AVO and network coordinator, teaching assistants, support staff and helpers. Miscellaneous expense budget is provided for the registration kits to be purchased for the participants, stationary, postage, printing, photocopy charges, started account and fees and other workshop related expenses. Institute expense budget this amount has to be transferred to your institute account for the common facilities provided by the institute for the workshop. Then the next part of the budget is the variable cost. Again under this head there are three subheads food accommodation and travel reimbursement. All remote centers will have to arrange lunch twice a day for their participants and also to their workshop team members. Accommodation has to be arranged for out station participants only. Travel reimbursement is up to rupees 1,000 for out station participants only. Here the distance between the participants place to the remote center has to be more than 100 kilometers one way. Each remote center will calculate their own variable cost depending upon their confirmed number of participants and the variable rates at which food and accommodation is provided. This the total workshop cost per remote center will be their fixed cost entitlement as per the chart given in the fixed cost plus their actual variable cost. Now we come to the last step that is the final settlement of the advance end by IIT Bombay. After the workshop is over all centers will prepare final settlements in the formats provided. There will be two main documents grant utilization certificate and recital payment statement. Both these documents are to be printed on the institute letter head and they are to be signed by both the coordinators. The final settlement has to be certified by a chartered accountant. CA certification is mandatory and this is our audit requirement. The final settlement has to be submitted to IIT Bombay within one month after the workshop is over. All this information will again be mailed to you before the workshop. Thank you and if you have any questions you may please go ahead. For CA certification Yes. CA also will charge So we have provided CA fees in miscellaneous expenses CA fees are provided. Thank you. Hello. We have opened a separate account for this caste center and the remote center. It is not the institute account but it is a current account only for this project purpose. For a caste project and this remote center purpose. Can you provide the details? You can use any account. You can give that account details to us. Yes. With the permission of the head and we have opened this project for caste and remote center. Do you offer this account? It is the principal. We got the permission from them and we opened this account. So can you provide the details? Thank you. Hello madam. Just now the madam told Monday is a view test in Karnataka Monday is holiday. You have a holiday you can just send an email to the AVU team and they will try to reschedule your test. Test is a must whether it is a holiday or not. No. It is a festival day. We will give you an alternative day. Thank you. Ma'am, what if a participant enrolls and he or she is not turning up for the main Come again please. A participant has enrolled but due to some reason that person is not turning up. So how are we to deal with it? If he doesn't turn up, he doesn't turn up. Initially we have to give all the list of participants and you will... The list of participants is there on the website.  So we will monitor. Hello madam. Travel reimbursement you have stated 100 kms. This is for one way or two way? Travel is for entire 10 days period. It is not for a day. For a day one way travel should be 100 kms or both the ways. It's one way. Excuse me ma'am. Whether the RCC coordinator is fixed for all the workshop or we can change or in case a RCC coordinator of his concerned institute he is leaving the institute then what is the procedure of renominating a RCC coordinator? The head of the institute has to inform us that the RCC coordinator has left and he has to nominate another person in that person's place and sent to us the entire procedure is exactly the way it was done for the first time. It has to be sent to us officially on an official letter head saying that so and so has been nominated. Hello. My question is regarding the distribution of AKAS tablets for faculty members. Is there any specific procedure because we are maintaining stock books everything while giving the AKAS tablets to the faculty participant of the workshop. Is there any specific undertaking or any specific things are there? Yeah, we are working on the procedure actually. You will have to take an undertaking from the faculty saying that you are showing the tablet to that particular person for maybe a year and he or she has to return it to you and he or she has to take full care of it. That tablet belongs to IIT and it is entrusted to you in your care. I will be sending out an undertaking very soon. Thank you. Ma'am, there is a certificate for the coordinators also like teaching assistant we had so is there IIT Bombay provide some certificate to them also? Teaching assistant? We had MTech students they helped in their labs and all these so do they get certificate for their work or not? Yes, the teaching assistant gets certificates for their support in the workshop. Thank you. My question is that we have received 200 tablets but few of them are not booting properly so we were just going to know that what should we do? Booting problem in the tablets, they are not running properly. They are not booting properly. Okay, so we have created a mail ID for Akash tech support. Akash tech support, I have sent that email ID to all the Akash coordinators so whatever problems you have please send us an email with the details of those tablets. You know the numbers. Tablets number and all my numbers. And send it to akashtechsupport at csc.iitb.ac.in How many teaching assistants we can appoint is based on the number of participants It's 1 per 15 participants. Yeah, 1 TA per 15 participants. It is given in the guidelines. And system administrator was one. One is enough. When we should provide the name of the teaching assistants? You provide us the name of the teaching assistants at the end of the workshop. Then how they will get their certificate because you will send the certificate I think in advance? Yeah. We will send you the certificates later on after the workshop. Okay. After we get the attendance, after we get all the lists from you. Okay, thank you. 41 people has already registered in my college for the workshop. But after they got registered the link having verified but not yet approved. Is there anything approved for any of the member? Sir, we are checking the permission later from remote centre wise. So give us some time. Maybe by Monday we will finish it off. Hello. For 1029 also the same problem already 9 participants have already registered. They are requested only verified but not confirmed. And since the status is I think since last 10 to 15 days. So will it get confirmed? Yeah, it is taking a bit of time because we are looking at all the permission letters carefully. So, but we were hoping to finish it by today. Unfortunately, it got a bit delayed but I think by maximum Tuesday things will be in a better condition. Can I nominate one of the my participants as a teaching assistant? Participant? A person cannot be a participant and a teaching assistant. They are exclusive. He has to be either a participant or a teaching assistant. Thank you. Excuse me Madam, can the lab programmers register for this workshop? Lab programmers. Repeat your question please. Can the lab programmers register for the workshop Madam? Lab programmers. Who are interested in the... No, unfortunately we allow only faculty members. Then they have already sent the request letter. They can attend but we will not be able to give them any funds or certificates unless they help in the workshop. We can give them certificates as support staff but not as participants. Okay Madam. Thank you. RC coordinator be the course participant. RC coordinator can be the course participant. RC coordinator can be the course participant. If he is able to look after both the things he can be. Because the course itself will also be quite rigorous. We do not want him to be unjust to either of his roles. Madam, what is the quality of the way that a UG student or PG student or faculty should be a teaching assistant. It depends upon you. You can have a student or your faculty colleague or a research scholar can be. Yes, it is not a problem. Excuse me Madam. We are inviting remote center nearby colleges to our remote center. We are looking for some brochure like this which you are given now and they can view it very easily. We have a soft copy but we do not have a hard copy of this. We have already sent to all 250 of you we have sent already. There are about my colleague tells me there are about 20 of you who are workshop coordinators and who have also registered as participants in the main workshop.

Hi, I'm Diane Perrow, the community representative to the Davis Farmers Market Association Board. Today I'd like to show you how to shop the farmers market without using any plastic bags. So here's what we'll need. Your shopping list, a shopping basket or a tote, and these reusable mesh bags. The reusable mesh bags can be purchased at the market, at supermarkets and at co-ops, and here at Davis Farmers Market we sell them for $3 for $3. At the Davis Farmers Market you can purchase this type of shopping basket for $25. Using a shopping list can help in two ways. First, it'll help you not to buy things that you don't need, and also it's a great guide to know what we need to purchase first. Okay, let's go shopping. The first thing you want to buy is pantry items that come in glass bottles or jars. So my list includes olive oil, honey, and jam. So I purchased these first so they can go in the bottom of my basket. Next you want to get the sturdier items like beans, rice, or nuts.  And then we're ready to move on to the sturdy produce. Now you're ready to purchase sturdy produce. So items like large potatoes or these onions can go directly into your basket. If you're buying smaller items like these small potatoes, this is a great time to use your mesh bag. So now you're ready to buy the produce that could be squashed or easily bruised. So today I'm choosing apricots. I'm going to put them directly into my mesh bag. And then they could go gently on top of the other items in the basket. Here I'll be purchasing greens. So this variety is going to go right on top. But I think this one will be best in a mesh bag, also right on top, and then we're almost done. All that's left on my list are berries, flowers, and a loaf of bread. How easy was that? With a little planning, a shopping basket, and your reusable mesh bags, you can shop the Davis Farmers Market without any plastic bags. When you get home, remember to take your fruit out of your mesh bags. Apricots, avocados, and tomatoes, those will be stored on your counter.  And potatoes and onions, be sure you keep these in a bin in a cool, dark place. I hope I've convinced you that it's easy to shop the market without using plastic bags. So you too can go green and feel good about shopping at the Davis Farmers Market.

So, so Don shook everybody's hand at the table and fast forward 10 years, 12 years. I'm sitting in federal prison and boxing come across my mind. I'm writing my autobiography and I was like, wow, what would have happened that day if you had told Don King, you had $3 million and you was willing to give him all that money to take you with him? Where would you be at today? Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. Yeah, we gonna talk. Man, we here in Los Angeles, California, man, we, hey, I didn't ran into a GM in here. My guy, T-Way, Ricky Ross, he's gonna get there. Man, thank you for coming on the show, man. We doing it again. Man, I love doing it too, man. It's something else, man, about like when you come, when I come out here now, every time I've been out here and did Boss Talk, I always get to interview freeway. That's my highlight moment. So I was kind of nervous because I was like, man, am I gonna get him? They said he out of town. He in Vegas.  I just went to Vegas, you know, Top Rank had a fight Thursday with Telethimo and I went up there because one of my guys, Troy Isley, assigned to Top Rank. So I'm helping him now, showing him how to market himself. Great fight, bronze medalist, but I don't believe that he is getting to do respect he should get. So he hollered at me down in Lafayette, Louisiana. I was down at the National Scouting Fighters, looking on the rocks and looking for the next youngster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand that the next one is going to come for the Nationals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next great one is going to come out of them Nationals. You've been focused on that like crazy ever since you came home, ever since you've been there. You just spoke, you tapped in the box and what made you just get in the boxing like that? It's a long story. I'm here. I was in Vegas one year. I think it was Marvin Haggler and Sugar Raven in the fight. Okay, okay, back then. Yeah. We were at Caesar's Palace in Don King. Yeah, yeah. He came up to the table and he shook everybody hand at the table.  We had a great big table, plenty of food. Plenty of food, everything. Pretty girls. Hey! You know what I'm saying? He couldn't miss us. Nobody used to walk up to the casino. And you know, some of the guys at the table is the inventors of this big medallions that you see people wearing now. These were the first guys. Matter of fact, my guy, Tommy, the first time I saw his, I thought it was a hubcap of a car. Wow, is that big? I remember when they was wearing like the Ben sign. You remember that? I think his was a Ben sign. The Ben. They would put the big Ben emblem. Some of them were snatching them off cars. I remember, believe it or not. No, no, no, no, no, no. They were coming down. They were coming down. They were coming down. But the youngsters seen it and they were so amazed by it. They started jerking them off cars and wearing them. I'm telling you, I remember that. I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. Because they was mimicking what they were seeing and what you were just saying. Right, right. And that's something about influences like, man, they see it and they try to do it. They want to be it. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Absolutely. So Don shook everybody hand at the table. And fast forward to 10 years, 12 years. I'm sitting in federal prison and boxing come across my mind. I'm writing my autobiography and I was like, wow, what would have happened that day if you had told Don King, you had $3 million and you was willing to give him all that money to take you with him? Where would you be at today? And, you know, I look back at all the stuff Don King had did, you know, the Mike Tyson. This was before Mike Tyson was even before he was champion. Before Mike Tyson was even nobody. Nobody knew him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, so and so many other great fighters that Don King had that came after that incident. You know, I knew that I would have been able to get in and bring some type of value to it. My goal is anybody that I mess with is to bring value to him. You know, they want to interview with you right now. Oh man. I want to bring value to him. I always do. To what you're doing. If I can't bring value, why am I here? Right, right. You know, what, what, what, what good is it? So when I was writing my book and I thought about it and I was like, wow, you probably wouldn't even be in prison right now. All right, if you had $3 million. I had it. I had it. I had the money. You just didn't do it. I just didn't give it. Your mindset wasn't there. Wasn't focused on that at the time? No, I just didn't know. You know, nobody explained the future to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had investments. You know, I had motels, tire shops, beauty salons, what I had never thought about. You could be a boxing promoter. But you think about it when you're sitting in prison and you can think about a lot of things. Yeah, you might get real clear.  Oh, man. You start thinking about a whole lot of good stuff that you're going to miss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember some guys going through some things. They said, yeah, man, come on, ride with me. People would take you a little ride. You're just thinking about things that was going on in the world. Yeah. You know, when you're locked up, you're not going out there, but your mind can take you there. So that's what you're explaining. Oh, absolutely. You know what I mean? Your mind is super powerful. And, you know, and that's one of the other things that I learned is to allow yourself to dream. Yeah. You know, and that's one of the things that I really feel, we as black people have lost our ability to dream. Man. And a dream is vision. Yeah, yeah. You know, a dream is something saying that this is possible. Your mind is telling you that this is possible, that you could accomplish this goal. Have you ever had a chance to read that article they did in LA Magazine on me? When did they do it? 2013. No, I didn't read it. What was it about? Like, what did it capture? Man. When he came to interview me, he was writing my bituary. Wow. He said he was writing my bituary. And I was telling him about my business plan.   You don't need no business plan. You need a funeral. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was laying out my business plan. Oh, I'm going to get in the boxing. Or I'm going to have a clothing line. Or I'm going to do a movie. Or I'm going to have books. Or I'm going to have mixed tapes. I'm going to be working with rappers. I'm going to do concerts. Wow. Visionary. That's the thing, man. Like, when you look at where you come from, the trifectas, the things that you went through to get to where we at now, nobody could have wrote that. No way. No way.  I didn't see it. No way you could see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. It starts to come gradually. Now, you have the first vision, right? But that vision can be altered. Yeah. You know, can be made bigger, made brighter. Yeah. So, no, I didn't know. I mean, I never thought. Because I ended my time up in Texas. Yeah. So being in Texas, I no longer got LA newspaper, LA news. When I get out of jail, I don't even know where that one is legal.
