In the last chapter, we looked at what Adler had to say about terms. This chapter deals with propositions of judgments. You know, in rough terms, terms are what the author means, the concept that the author is using. The propositions, the judgments, are what the author believes to be true or false. What we're going to see are both propositions that the author thinks are true and what propositions the author believes are true and justified. There's an important difference between those two. Also in this chapter, we're going to get three more rules of analytical reading, 6th, 7th, and 8th. Let's look at the 6th rule. The 6th rule is that you find the important sentences and then you come to understand the propositions that are expressed by them. Just like when we were dealing with terms, we had to find the words and then find the term. We had to find the word and find the meaning. Propositions aren't really that much different. Words compose sentences. Sentences express propositions. Now there's going to be some issues here in trying to find the important sentences, and then there's going to be some issues in trying to interpret, to understand what the author means by those sentences. The author gives several hints, guidelines, to find the right sentences. Now this is just a start, but you shouldn't consider this to be exhausted. This is almost as much of an artist as a science. So the first sentence is defined to pay attention to. Are the ones you don't understand? If you read them and on their surface you look at them and say, I have no idea what this means, better go ahead and write that down or mark it in some way. You're going to want to come to understand what that sentence means, at least later on if not sooner. The second way is when the author distinguishes some sentence or somehow points them out or marks them. You do this by manipulating the text, using a different font. So in small caps or bold caps or bold italicized underline. Because the author will designate sentences by using certain phrases like theorem or axiom or composition or reason or evidence or rule. When an author goes through the trouble of designating a sentence it's somehow different from the others. Pay attention to that and mark it. Next you're going to want to look for those sentences that contain the terms that you found back in the rule five. So remember you spent some time trying to identify important terms and that was good. Finding in terms is good. When a sentence has those terms, pay attention to that sentence. Maybe circle the word that's in there that's important. Maybe put a little check or dash out to the side, something like that to show that that sentence is important, you must understand what that sentence is. And then finally, this kind of gets into rules seven and eight, but the whole point, the whole reason why the author is writing is trying to convince you of something or trying to get you to believe something or maybe try to teach something, whatever. Especially if it's nonfiction. Hopefully, at least sometimes there's going to be a summary paragraph or sometimes a summary chapter. If you're reading a mystery novel, you shouldn't read the ending first, right? That's a bad idea, spoils the mystery. Not so with nonfiction. Go ahead and read that last chapter. Spoil the ending with nonfiction. That's going to help you understand everything else that the author is doing. Everything else that the author is doing. So look for that summary paragraph, sometimes it's at the beginning, sometimes it's at the end, sometimes it's both. Maybe it's an introduction chapter, including chapter, maybe it's both. As the author really wants to help you along, at every step of the way, the author is going to come and summarize what we've done up to this point, what we're doing here. Pay attention to that. Learn what those sentences mean. Mark them down. Mark them down. So that's rule six. That's the first part of rule six. Find the important sentences. Next, you have to find, you have to uncover the meaning with a proposition. Now remember, propositions was true or was false. But the author believes to be true or what the author believes to be false. Now, there can be several difficulties in interpreting propositions for sentences. First, foremost, definitely, it's that not every sentence expresses a proposition. Your proposition, most probably, it's simply, is going to be expressed by declarative sentence, a subject and a predicate. It's sunny. Today is sunny. The beach is beautiful. I am standing on the beach. These are simple declarative sentences with a subject and a predicate. Okay, promise, not every sentence expresses a proposition. There are plenty of sentences that do not express propositions at all. What is the weather like? That's an interrogative. It's a question. That is not something that's true or false. Go to the beach today. That is, it's a command. It's an imperative. That is also not something that's true or false. It's either followed or not followed, but it's not a true or false thing. I love the beach. Beach, yay, beach, yay. That would be some kind of exclamation. Even something, maybe, maybe, maybe, we'd say, I love the beach. Okay, maybe that expresses some kind of proposition. But really the main point of that sentence is to say, this beach is fantastic. You should go to the beach right now. These sentences, these are not propositions that are either true or false. The first step in interpreting this is, first of all, you've got to find those sentences that actually express propositions because not everyone who does. Second, there can be ambiguity with propositions. Sure, absolutely. We talked about ambiguity with terms. There can definitely be ambiguity in terms. And given that, there can be ambiguity with propositions. Depending on what you mean by the terms, you can have a couple of different propositions. But even leaving that aside, supposing there's no real confusion about the terms, there can still be ambiguity with the proposition itself. So say, I told you to say, I said, I saw a dolphin on the beach. Now, that can be interpreted in at least two different ways. Either while on the beach I saw a dolphin or upon observing the beach, there was a dolphin on the beach. And those are two different, right? Either while on the beach I'm looking out there and I see a dolphin, or when I'm on the beach, there's a dolphin right there, right? Those are two different ways, two different propositions that are expressed by the same words, by the same sentence. So there can be problems in interpreting the propositions. Now, what you want to do is you want to ensure that you properly interpret these propositions. If you have ambiguity and you're not exactly sure what's going on, write down all the possibilities, or at least the most relevant possibilities. You're going to need that to interpret what the author is doing. And really the best way to keep track of that is keep track of your terms. Your terms are really going to help you out in interpreting the sentence property and interpreting the context. So if I say, I saw a dolphin on the beach, look at the rest of the context of the paragraph of the story. If the rest of the story is just about me going to the beach and enjoying the sunshine, enjoying the weather, and taking in the beautiful sights, and I don't mention anything about having to do a dolphin rescue, or throwing water on a dolphin, or this extraordinary weird thing that popped up on those, isn't it weird that a dolphin was up? Then I didn't see a dolphin beach itself. I guess, while I was at the beach or something. Remember, this is active reading. So interpreting the proposition is not just something that the text does for, you've got to work with the text to figure some things out, okay? Now, a part of what that's going to involve, a big part of what that's going to involve, is writing down these propositions. What you understand the proposition to be in writing it down. And when you do this, test the proposition. See if you understand what it says. So, I don't know, supposedly you know a proposition that you can come across. And this is just really simple and silly, but let's just deal with it for the sake of example. All oceans are saline bodies of water. All oceans are saline bodies of water. So how would you test it? Well, you'd write down, it's like, okay, the Pacific, that's an ocean. And it's saline, yeah, it's saline, the Atlantic, that's an ocean. Is it saline? Yeah, it's saline. So you go through the oceans and figure out where they're saline. And you know, maybe think about, okay, well are all saline bodies of water ocean? No, right, there's other bodies of water besides oceans that are not saline. So, bays, harbors, these are still saline bodies of water, but they're not oceans. But this is what you do, this is what you do, this is how you work with the proposition. You look at the judgment, if it's a generalization, you try to write out particular cases. And you know, kind of the reverse, right, if it's a particular judgment, think about what generalization is going to make that true. Or is it not a generalization, but is it something else? So you know, here's a generalization. All lakes are freshwater. All lakes are freshwater. It's actually false, right? There's one lake that is salt, is saline. So what makes a lake lake? So if you see something like this, you know, Lake Michigan is freshwater. It's like, okay, well now is that true because it's a lake or is it true because they tested it? Is it true for some, for whatever reason? So when you get a proposition like this, trying to figure out what's going to make that true, what does the author think is going to make that proposition true? How is it going to lead to an overall point, conclusion that the author is trying to make? These propositions do not occur in a vacuum or in a desert or absent any other kind of context. Now you should be able to locate this proposition on a conceptual map of what the author is trying to do. It's going from the question to the answer. So when you're understanding these propositions, trying to understand what's going on, try to find your place on that map with that proposition. Now that's going to help you. So that's two parts to rule six. Find the important sentences and then under, you have to come to understand the propositions that are expressed by those sentences. This brings us to rule seven. Find the argument. Find the argument. Now, as a grammatical point, right, letters compose words. Words compose sentences. Sentences compose paragraphs. And as we've seen, words express terms. Propositions, sentences express propositions. At least some sentences express propositions. It may be nice that paragraphs express arguments, but it doesn't work out that way. It's not going to be nearly as neat and say, aha, here's the argument. Maybe, maybe, maybe. If the author has been very considerate, you will find a summary paragraph with that argument given in a paragraph. Either at the end of a chapter or, you know, at the end of a text something like that. Maybe, maybe, maybe. But usually it's just not the case. Just for most paragraphs, don't express a single argument. So you're going to have to do a little bit of work. You're going to have to figure out which propositions express the argument. And how are they supposed to be related to each other? Now, an argument is a series of statements that in some way justify or infer a conclusion. And that inference pretty much just goes one direction. Sometimes it goes both, but let's not worry about that right now. That's pretty rare cases. Arguments usually go from premises to the conclusion. Usually it's a series of premises that reach that conclusion. And there can be inferences along the way, and that's fine, right? That's fine. But it's a set of, that justification goes one direction from premises to conclusion. Okay. It's your job to figure out which of the premises and which of the conclusion. Now, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, the author saves the conclusion for last or in some way says the point of this text is to prove the following claim, right? And that would be the conclusion. Everything else, all these other propositions, at least in theory, are supposed to be offered in support of that conclusion. But what you have to do, I mean, if the author's done a very good job, that the author's been considered up to this point, and you can easily find all the propositions. You know, your first step is just to list all the propositions and figure out which one's the conclusion. All of those are supposed to support that. And hopefully there's some kind of order of inference, where one set of propositions infers another, and then that one with another set of evidence infers another, and then all the way down to the conclusion. It isn't always that nice and neat and tidy. Sometimes it's a little bit, it's more rare to find a nice and neat and tidy that way. But nevertheless, you should look for that. So the author's been very considerate right at all these propositions that the author released to be true, and hopefully it's like the last one that is the conclusion. Now there's a couple of pitfalls you have to watch out for. Not every argument in a text is there just to prove the conclusion. A lot of times there are anticipated objections, right? Possible counterarguments for a contrary conclusion. Keep your eye out for those too. And a lot of times it's a very complex work. You're going to have the main point that the author's trying to prove, and a set of possible objections. And at some point the author's going to maybe offer a buttle to each of those objections. You can have a lot of arguments happening within the same text that aren't all directly inferential for the conclusion. Some of these are trying to avoid misunderstandings or complications, or even just trying to say here's an anticipated objection, here's why it's not going to work. You've got to keep track of all this. You're going to have to keep track of what the author says in the text. You have to recognize what the author is doing. There's a very real difference between providing a quote of what the author says and understanding what the author is doing. There's a very real difference between those two. And when you're taking notes, I strongly suggest if you're going to write a quote, fine, write a quote, but interpret it. Tell, write down. Make a note yourself. What is the author doing here? That's a note for you to understand what the author is doing. And frankly, if you're doing your first set of notes, don't do quotes. If you want my advice, and people are probably going to disagree with me, but if you want my advice, when you do the first set of notes, don't do quotes. Mark where in your, get a little quick citation, page number, paragraph number of where you get that information from in the text. But don't write a quote, at least not yet. Just get an idea of what that author is doing. All right. So you have to recognize the premises from the conclusion. There's going to be some indicated words that can help out with this. Because for the reason that since, what, this shows that, these sorts of indicator words give us reasons or premises. This tells us what the justification evidence is. Therefore, so it follows that necessarily, this necessitates, these indicator words give us conclusions. Those indicator words give us conclusions. That's at least in, I can speak as far as English is concerned. I can't speak about other languages. So you're going to have to look for these indicator words. They're helpful. There's not always reliable. They're not always going to be there. There's an arbitrarily large number of ways to express an argument, unfortunately. And that's even worse when it comes to natural languages like English. You've got to pay attention to what's happening with the text. You've got to keep in mind, what is the author trying to do? What's the question? What's the overall field? What's the context? What is the author trying to prove? It really, really helps to find that summary early on. You're going to need to keep something in mind about the evidence that's out there. Evidence comes in two kinds, right? Justified or proven or not proven. Now I know you're like, wait, hold on a second, not proven? Oh yeah, sometimes. Proven evidence is just like, maybe like a chain of reasoning. A implies B, B implies C, C implies D, D implies E. Therefore, A implies A. Boom, right? Okay. Now it's just impossible for all your evidence to have an additional proof, because whatever that proof is, that's further evidence. So if every belief has to have justification, that's going to be yet one more belief. So A needs to be proved by B, B needs to be proved by C, C needs to be proved by D. So one, you're going to run out of letters real fast, right? Our minds simply are not big enough for this infinite regress of justification. Some of the evidence that the author is going to use is not going to have an additional proof, and Adler gives two kinds. You should, you know, just please take this for thought. I'm not saying this exhaust the options, but at least take this for thought. The first kind is just what he assumes to be true, that the author assumes this to be true, and the author assumes you think it's true as well, right? We can call these shared assumptions. Now you may or may not share the assumptions. Okay, that's fine, but when you're reading a text, you've got to understand when the author believes that you have a shared assumption. That's one. Another kind is what Adler calls self-evident. And there's lots of debate about what self-evident propositions are. I'm just going to talk about how Adler talks about it, just for the moment. For Adler, a self-evident proposition is one where, you know, if you assume it's false, you're going to have like a contradiction or an absurdity. So Adler gives the example of the relationship between parts and holds. So the hole is greater than the parts. The hole is greater than the parts. Okay, now if you think that's false, if you think that's false, or you have an e-car psyche, he thinks it's self-evident in this way, right? Let's assume it's false. If it's false, then the hole is just as big, or rather just as great as any one of its parts. So think about a leg, excuse me, a chair. Now the leg of a chair is just a part. It's not as big as a chair. It can't hold as much weight as the whole chair. It's, you know, it's just a leg. But if the hole is not greater than the parts, then the hole the chair is just as big as the leg, which is a little silly. So this, so Adler's at least arguing here that the hole is greater than the parts is self-evident, since if you think it's false, you're going to get this contradiction. It gives some kind of nonsense to it. So when you're finding the argument, you've got to find, you're kind of these starting pieces of evidence, either it's a shared assumption or it's self-evident. Now that's where Adler kind of limits it. I'm going to let you figure out whether there's more kinds than that. Now at one point in this chapter, Adler says that you need to be able to find the argument, but you don't need to be a trained logician. You know, in Adler's context, a trained logician was pretty trained and people generally had some kind of training and logic. These days, that's not the case, right? You don't have formal logic taught, or you know, critical thinking as a mandatory component of public education, depending on which college you go to. It's not going to be mandatory for your degree, right? There won't be a separate course called critical thinking. Now, at Adler's time, there was more of this requirement. And then there was some pretty specialized training and logic. Nowadays, you just kind of have the specialized training and logic depending upon where you go. So having said that, Adler says you don't need to think as a logician, just maybe you do. I want to look this up a little bit. I found that when somebody tries to teach, tries to self-train in logic, usually it ends badly. Now usually, there's deep misunderstandings and that person really doesn't know what they're doing. So I strongly suggest getting some training, some formal training and reason. And there's several ways that you go about doing this. There's several different kinds of courses out there that aren't necessarily for credit that will give you at least some help in this. But leaving that aside, Adler says you don't need to have training and logic, but you do need to make, you do need to understand what kind of argument is offered. And the divides broadly between inductive arguments and deductive. Now already, if you don't know the difference between inductive arguments and deductive arguments, this is why I say maybe you'd benefit from the training of a logician. And these are two very different argument types. In fact, the way Adler describes the difference is that inductive arguments have particular judgments, or are single instances of a subject and a predicate. And from that, generalizes. It goes through generalization. And then deductive arguments go from a generalization down to a particular judgment. Okay, and that was pretty much the accepted way of doing it. Today, I actually don't like to think of inductive and deductive arguments like that. Here's how I think of inductive arguments. Inductive arguments are arguments where the premises or the evidence or the reasons make the conclusion more likely to be true, or raise the probability that the conclusion is true. Deductive arguments, the truth of the premises necessitates the truth of the conclusion. You know, if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. And the reason why there's this difference is the relationship between the different propositions that constitute the evidence or the reasons is going to depend upon its argument form. Now, if you already are not familiar with argument forms, you already are kind of, you know, maybe you ought to figure this part out before you try to figure out whether it's an inductive or deductive argument. And like I said, maybe you should get some training from a logician. I know a lot of people out there are already like, oh, come on, don't tell me that.  Okay, I mean, I get it, right? Logic can be a complicated course, but you're going to have to have some of these basics down in order to understand the argument, because I'll tell you what, you're right off the bat, right? Inductive arguments are basically, all of the physical sciences is induction. And that's not a bad thing, right? I'm a fan of that. But a lot of people think that if they find like one case where the generalization is not true, then the whole thing goes off as one thing. No, right? So most everybody, I mean, here's a generalization that we get from the physical sciences, you know, kinesiology, biology, whatever you want to call it. You should not try to run a marathon week in after week in. That's a bad idea, a bad idea to try to do that.  But there's a list, one case where this guy does, he goes around, you know, goes around week in week and running marathons. He's kind of built differently than the rest of us. Now that one case, he must have, oh, well, then it's all for a boy, then anybody can go run a marathon every week. No, right, no. But that's the nature of a conclusion drawn from induction, right? The conclusion is more likely to be true, right? All right, leave that aside. But nevertheless, this is important. You really ought to figure out what kind of argument is being offered. That's part of this task of completing rule seven, right? Of finding the argument. It's going to be very, very helpful to determine what kind of argument you got. All right, so the last rule, rule eight, is find the solutions. All right, what does the author think the author's done? Has the author succeeded? There's basically what's going on. It's a little bit different than just simply finding the arguments, right? I mean, you've got to find the arguments that's true. But like I said, there can be lots of different arguments offered in a text, and they can all kind of lead to a point, but some are going to be indirect, some are going to forestall objects, right? They can get complicated real fast. You should be able to, at this point, figure out overall what the author's doing. And the way I like to think about it, at least I do, right? What's the question the author is trying to answer and what does the author believe answers that question? What does the author believe answers that question? By the way, what the author's actually done can sometimes be different than what the author tried to do, right? And with rule eight, you've got to figure out whether the author succeeded. What's the question answered, first of all, right? What's the question? What does the author think is the answer and has the author actually provided that? Maybe the author was trying to definitively prove such a software, but the arguments offered are only inducted, so they only made it more likely, something like that. But maybe that's all you can do. So when you're finding the solutions, you've got to figure out what the author's trying to do and whether the author succeeded, right? What has the author done to answer that question and has the author done a good job? Okay, so we got, at this point, now we've got rules five, six, seven, and eight. This is the second stage of analytical reading. And for what it's worth, pretty much everything from rule one through eight, that deals with, for instance, like one text at a time, right? Rules one through eight deal with that text at a time. The third stage of analytical reading is not going to deal just with that text, right? The third stage is going to deal with that text, that author, compared to other authors, compared to you, right? And trying to understand what everybody is saying about all the others. So, but now we've got five, six, seven, and eight. That's the second stage of analytical reading. From here, we'll move on to the third stage. Now, here's something else to keep in mind, right? So, now that it makes this grammatical point, saying that letters compose words, words compose sentences, sentences compose paragraphs. Okay, and at terms compose propositions, propositions compose arguments, right? Okay, that's great. And he kind of sort of speaks sometimes as if, this is a linear progression, like first you understand the terms, then the propositions, and then the argument. You know, in other words, sometimes he says, well, first it seems like he might be saying, you have to figure out all the terms first before you can move on to the propositions, and you keep not to move on, all the propositions first before you move on to the argument. That isn't necessarily the case, right? At least I found it, it's not necessarily the case. Sometimes I've read texts like, oh, wow, look, there's a term, I never knew that was there. Sometimes this happens. You know, sometimes the author doesn't contain enough propositions to make a good argument, and you've got to do the job for the author. You're not going to find that in the text. So, this is just kind of my way of saying is, you know, it's really great. I think it's great to have the overall point in mind before you try to find anything else, and that's something that I really aim for when I'm comprehending. But sometimes you're not really able to do that. Sometimes just the terms are really obvious. Okay, I know this author is dealing with this term, this term, this term. All right, maybe from there you go to, you try to build the judgments, and then build the argument, and then figure out what the author is doing. Authors, there's a wide variety of ways to write any given piece, right? There really is, and there's no one way that's going to be a perfect rule for all of the pages. It's just not going to work that way. At least I don't think so. You know, maybe I'm wrong.  You go from one step to the next, and it's invariant. For what it's worth, I don't think that's the case. I think that you're going to continue to work with this text, and you're going to find new terms, you're going to find new judgments, you're going to find new arguments kind of embedded in there. And sometimes you might find that, you know, maybe the author thinks the author's doing one thing, but really has done something else, and that doesn't come until after you've really poured over that text four or five times. Sometimes that can happen. So I'm about to get blown away by a pretty strong northern wind here, and I'm going to take that as a cue that this is done. All right, so I'll see you next time.


With the increasing obtainability of multi-OMICS data comes the need for easy-to-use data analysis tools. Here, the authors introduce Metascape, a biologist-oriented portal that provides a gene list annotation, enrichment, an interactome resource, and enables integrated analysis of multi-OMICS datasets. This article was authored by Yin-Yao Zhu, Bin Zhu, La's Parsh, and others.


The challenge Indian contemporary dance has is to now have a distinct aesthetic of its own. I use it on digital technology, whether it's how I use digital technology, each colour, each prop, the timing, whether the background music is background or foreground, whether it shifts from the right speaker to the left speaker to the back, you know. We live in a world where we are competing with the best in everything and if we want to make an impact, we have to take that challenge. It's prudent and smart that you utilise everything that is possible, communicate what you want to communicate through your dance. The audience sits in the auditorium watching your performance. You are taking them on a journey with you. They are together with you and you are actually transporting them to a new realm and that's your realm of your own. So you are giving not the performance. Actually to me, it's an experience.


Whenever you type an Arabic word, you really can't find a credible article in Arabic language and you mostly will find forum articles and these are just personal opinions, they are not credible content. So we realize that we cannot ignore or stay away from the fact that Wikipedia is the major chunk of Arabic content online and if we want to grow content, online content in Arabic, then we have to tackle Wikipedia. So that's why we realize that Wikipedia is a very important stakeholder in our initiative. My name is Meena Takla. My name is Sami Mubalik. And we started Qtaghridat, an Arabic digital content initiative to increase the quality and quantity of Arabic content on the web. Early this year, we contacted the Wikipedia Foundation because we wanted to form a partnership with them. We wanted to increase the number of Arabic Wikipedia editors. Now, Wikipedia Foundation has a very important Arabic language initiative and that increasing the number of Arabic articles on Wikipedia and Category B is increasing the number of active editors who contribute sustainably to increase the Arabic content on Wikipedia. So we chose to work with the Foundation on increasing the number of editors. So we wanted to build a community. We have a lot of experience with the community, especially that we have. Our Twitter account is our main communication channel. We have over 85,000 followers at this point and we've been ranked third most influential non-personal Twitter account in the Arab region. The great thing about the community that we're working with is that they're all doing this without any money awards or without anything in return. The great thing about collaboration is that people are passionate about something and they go the extra mile to achieve it. Community is the sustainability of our initiative and of Wikipedia as well. Community energizes us. They demand from us and they tell us what to do and they guide us on what to do. They inspire the change and they tell you, we want to work on this and we can work on this and we can deliver it. They set the benchmark for themselves and they do it. They compete on it. They collaborate for it. So it really, really inspires you. The crowd that decides the cause, not the cause that inspires the crowd. When we started speaking about Wikipedia, we thought it was going to be another, you know, here's a Wikipedia program, come and join and everyone will be happy, but there was a missing element that we discovered that a lot of people didn't know what is Wikipedia. When we started speaking to them, we were speaking a different language and we realized that we have to come down to what the people want and listen to them, listen to their questions and then answer that. So we did tailor our messaging and our communication with everyone to here's the basics. Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia. Wikipedia doesn't have hired editors that are doing all the work. You can be an editor. We are all editors. It's my responsibility and yours. These messages were enough to spark the community. We ended up doing the first Arabic Wikipedia guide and we published this over 70 pages. We did the first workshop in the United Arab Emirates, which was highly attentive. Over 85 people came for the workshop. There's a big need. There's a big interest in it and people really want to, but just don't know how to. This is what keeps us going now and we have a lot of plans to expand our projects in different countries. Not just UAE was the first platform or the launching pad for us, but we're going to try this in different forms, in different shapes, in different countries now. This is what we do after 3 a.m. This is what we do after we finish work. We do this in the cafeteria. We do this in the basement. We do this in the car wherever we can. As long as there's a connection, we sit down and do this. And when you see the results, that's what gets to you. This gets you hooked. You keep doing that day by day by day. And you don't feel how far you've established or how far you went since the day you started.  You're doing something amazing. So all of this is what the people don't see. There's a culture behind it. There's a pulsing community behind the Wikipedia face that you see.


Hello everyone, I know it's two o'clock. You might have lunch as well. So we'll try to make it As fun as possible. So let's see how it goes Welcome to CI CD on the open shift The title it all calls the CI CD in the open shift for developer, but there is a change Yeah, the change is for the Bob, sorry for Bob Now the question is who is Bob So Bob is developer obvious But Bob was building the applications and deploying applications The kind of applications develop Bob is like a small set of applications web services kind of workload But those are the just not one application, but it is a set of applications Essentially form it as the set of the microservices or it is basically microservice Obviously these are small applications. So The Bob is basically package this and run it as a containers rather than running on the traditional VM environments Hence these are the different set of the services and the applications So Bob keeps releasing and deploying at their individual pace Compared to the what we used to deploy traditional the monolith or rather than Taking in the batch of the changes and deployed in the production or relatively production the any environment, right? So basically Bob workload is looks like build test deploy repeat build test reply repeat And basically this is that and then to some form as a CI CD Just one question, how many you feel that you are Bob here Okay, great. How many of you would like to be a Bob in case? great, so But there are few challenges how the Bob is so one thing is like See I CD basically we form it as the continuous integration the continuous deployment We continuously integrated all the changes through In our source code and keep those changes of and keep releasing and deploying our applications into the target environment Essentially the production environment So Bob needs some mechanism where he can define or she can basically it's no gender-wise, but basically Bob can Bob needs a mechanism where it can define the CI CD definition Which says that how to take the source code and get it to the production environment? Correct now to understand that definition what needs some sort of the mechanism, right? I'm basically the CI CD server that can execute the jobs for the each of the applications that Bob is building And at the end that application need to understand so the CI CD server need to understand if there is a change in the application source code state it need to take the source code change, right? It need to test build deploy or the build test deploy whatever the flow is correct now coming back to the build step is basically As a developer or as an or writing the CI CD we need some mechanism or the tools that can take your source code and package basically Create a executable form of your application and packet is that as a container, right? So we need some tools or the Bob needs some tools to build the containers And then it needs also some tools or the way Where with that he can take the same container image and ship it to the different target environment It may be stage testing or it may be production environments correct so Yeah, and at then those are the environments we need For deploying our application. It may be stage products. I can it depends So these are the few challenges This is essentially we are seeing the one box for the challenges, right? But imagine the first thing we have said that it's just Bob is not dealing with just one application Bob is dealing with multiple set of applications, right? So Bob needs to recreate all those things for the each and every applications to basically implement a CI CD pipeline, correct and Putting out the golder. Yeah, now Bob is the builder. He's a developer, but now he's building something and But the pen point for the Bob is he really don't like to set up all these pipeline definitions, right? Because if the Bob is building let's attain and 15 applications in fact, right? He needs to probably reinvent the wheel or more more of like he needs to write down or Do this mundane repetitive work for the each and every applications then There are how it comes In the microservices or more of like the if you are having the multiple application in the system We need some DevOps engine of the platform engineers help so they can help a developer to set up this CI CD pipelines Correct and hence as a developer they keep reinventing the bill and that essentially one of the problem in the Microservices or the multiple set of application where the people are continuously deploying we need to solve and Here the open shift come to rescue to some extent. Yes, and let's see how to help us So basically a open shift comes with a built-in CI CD or more of like the pipeline definition Which is you can think is more of like the managed service. We can still deploy while building basically executing our CI CD workloads Since it is we know that Kubernetes and the open shift is more of like already container-based form. So it basically Comes out of box with the scalability. So where we can for each pipeline We can basically execute a bunch of the loads or the workloads or the parts in the different set of containers altogether Right. So that's how the system can scale in traditional Jenkins Philosophy we can say it's more of like the master master just integrate the definition of the job and actually delicate the workload to the slave Right, but let's see if it is that really easy still the moment will figure out Our most important thing the Jenkins that comes with the open shift has include some batteries Essentially, it's few of the plugins that helps a developer to write down the pipeline some of the steps And more of like the declarative way. We are just going to say it And yes, and it comes with some bunch of the conferations along with that plugins as well So so that's about solving the one part of the Exiting a CI CD job. Now, let's see how we can build our containers applications So open shift also provides engineers provides something called the source to image So basically its source to image is more of like intended for maybe developer for the other purpose, but basically It takes your application source code Right, whether it would be current directory or the working directory But essentially here it taking the source code from the gate URL here It taking some base image now that base image has assumed that it's we call it is a builder image Oh, and the builder image knows for basically how to create your application source code into the executable form and put It into a container package or more of like the container image, right? And then it says that create and hello python application out of your rest to I built So now if we take the same Construct into pipeline you have something called the build API Essentially, it's kind of the declarative API. We just say that okay. This is how it looks like. I'm not sure if able to see it Okay, great. So basically it takes your Source code right and then basically says that I want to use some sort of the strategy for the time being assumed that This is the way similar mechanism that we have executed in the story It's take your builder image and it basically essentially produces your target image Let's say we have for your source code, right? This is how the declarative way or the open shift allows to build your application containers then Let's look at the deploy Thing so basically when need to deploy our applications Usually the application will be standalone or maybe applications also comes with the dependent services For example, we say database message queues and caching systems, right? And probably we need to ship all these applications together in the one floor or we want to deploy all this application in the one floor So open shift provide something called the open shift templates So you can think of it's again one of the declarative form of the yaml where we can define all our application resources Including your applications dependent dependent services, but one of the magic of the template is It allows the parameterizing applications, right? So when you say parameterization to think of the previous example We want to take our builder image or more of like our application image, right? And when we execute our CI CD pipeline, we need to instead of tagging as the latest image like this one We want to tag it with a particular build number or the particular image Sorry particular CI CD version number itself, right? So we can templatize in this way and we can pass all those parameters while executing our CI CD job We'll let them see that how actually we are going to pass those parameters But that's how we can templatize our application workflow and use the same template to deploy our Applications on to the any kind of the environment We just need to customize those specific parameters related to applications while shipping or to the particular target environment And most important part as a developer We need some sort of the DSL Because as a developer probably we are more of not more of like writing the pipeline definition Which 100 lines of the code or the hundreds of the configuration lines, right? So We have something called the declarative ESL APIs that essentially provide a very primitive APIs As we've seen previously take my templates build my applications and deploy to the my target environment We will going to see that how it's essentially forms a declarative APIs, but as well as it's provide some sort of the Jenkins steps or more of like a very fluent DSL APIs that is essentially helps to interact with the open shift and do Execute some complex environments of a for example I want to build an application in the one cluster and then I need to take that application image into the another cluster to Deploy it to the different cluster, right? So it provides my form of the DSL APIs. So for example, if you see The first one we were saying that the declarative APIs if you can see here We are just processing our templates that we have discussed previously Now basically we are taking all the resources generated from this template and building our applications Then we are just declaratively saying that hey take this my applications and deploy to the stage environment Stage environment is it's nothing but my environment where I want to ship and again I want to take the same applications and deploy to the iron or more of like the production environment But with manual approval. So these kind of the pipeline API it provides one of the library we have and The part I was discussing about provide the Jenkins steps. It's something like this We can create the multiple clusters then more of like queries the resources and basically we can do more of like the Interator of the resources, right? So now we don't need to do all those CLIs. I think it's you doing shell scripts So it's provide nice wrapper around your basically OC CLI the way we interact with the OpenChift itself right And so basically but how to get everything is together. So here we have something called the code ready toolchain It's more of like the managed service That allows basically developers to bring you all things together and open-edited way of building Your application of more of like exiting CIC application on the open shift Essentially helps the developers to scaffold your application In a sense it helps to generate the default Jenkins file or more of like the pipeline definition Then provide the templates for your applications and set up all the sorry set up all the webhooks, right? And It basically forms Get everything in the place. So as a developer it is more of like a CI CD as a service But as a developer you can feel awfully feel of it is like I don't want to deal with most of the setup Just give me something out of box where I can go consume it and I can more of like get ready to deploy and code my applications So that's how if we are saying it's more of like wiring everything for your developers Now enough talk Let's see some of the demos and try to understand how everything works and in reality, right? So enough Bob want to go into action and here is what Bob want to do what want to set up a notice applications Essentially an application which says that it's ready to build and deploy But not only deploy in simple way. It's you want to deploy to the stage As soon as we build an application But again, we want to deploy the same applications on the prod with some sort of manual approval, right? But all these things it's going to happen in less than five minutes Let's see things work sure so Here I'm just showing the video recording because it would take some time to do everything but at the end of the demo We are going to see everything and in system. So basically I'm going to the cordy cordy.com. Basically, it's cordy the application. It's a hostage application But I'm creating some space for the time being. Let's keep it abstract. Let's not worry about it And now the next part is like I want to create a notice application And this platform provides some sample templates where we can use to create a simple web services a web service which would provide some hello endpoint and But some sort of the additional feature that really works helps really well with the open shift of the Kubernetes environment So here we are creating one health check applications for the Node.js stack Yeah, here is the most important thing as a user I can select what kind of the application workflow I want to execute here. We are seeing that build my image Roll out to stage and then with the manual approach related to run So once we select that kind of pipeline for our project It just asked to provide the name for your GitHub repository at the end. We just going to review and We are seeing that set of my application at the end Yes, this is how it's things are happening. It's essentially Creating your project in the GitHub repo Then basically configuring everything it's basically wiring all the GitHub web hooks with the Jenkins that is already running in your open shift environment and It's adding your pipeline Done as a developer your kind of all set to do everything now. Let's see actually what is happening behind the scene Yeah, this is the again the open shift console. We can see that it has created the pipeline So as an user as a developer, you don't need to worry about how it's going to create a pipeline for myself Right, but where is my pipeline definition at this moment? So let's see Here you can see the same project has been created in one of the Jenkins, which is running in the users environment Everything is still processing and now let's see some of the things So if you look at the source code of of the project that it has created You have something called the Jenkins files here, which is nothing but your pipeline definitions It's more of like the bunch of the step. It's instruct the Jenkins how to do everything as a CHD workflow And there is something called the dot open shift IO folder that we are going to look at but let's look at the Jenkins files first So it uses the declarative DSL that we were discussing before right. It's called the OCO pipeline Correct, but now let's look at the actually CD definition Think as a developer how declarative it is. It's just simply saying that Put something in the CD block, which is nothing but this continuous deployment put something in the CI block Which is nothing but continuous integration continuous deployment would trigger whenever there is a change in the master And basically CI would trigger then there is when the user or the developer submit a PR to repository But look at it just simply saying that take this the template Pass this the parameters to the template that we have discussed earlier in case of the Ruby image example then we are saying that Whatever the resources generated of processing templates step take those build the applications out of it deploy the application out of it And now let's look at how this template look exactly that template looks like this is the dot open shift IO directory that we are discussing And this is the open shift template That we are discussing now It's kind of the YAML. It's again declarative way But it is essentially taking few of the parameters. So when we run our pipeline So for example when you're executing a pipeline, we can say that use this release version number and tag my image take that image and deploy to my environment and For the time being Let's ignore the image stream, but understand the build config that we have discussed already how to build my applications and So it's again essentially taking very similar form. It's saying that create an image out of it This is my the gate repository. I'm going to provide. This is the commit ID that I'm going to provide here and It this is kind of the builder image that we are going to use Yeah, this is the builder image is going to use that essentially knows how to build your app your application And this is essentially nothing but the deployment config in the services and the routes essentially tells the open shift is basically how to basically deploy your application or basically how to run your containers and basically then Provide a construct to access. It's more of like reader routes and the services So the user can access the application outside of the cluster For the time being in the abstract. That's how we can say that And now This is actually the the first job that is running in your Your Jenkins essentially to executing the OC process that it's more of like the template processing as an user You don't need to worry about how things are being done But essentially the beauty of this DSL is like again, it's leveraging on the same OC CLI that provides by the open shift, right? So nothing magic as such It just brought nice rapper DSL around it. It's taking your build config and It essentially started building your applications It's running building your applications Yeah, we can see that Right and once we see everything is working And now it's we can see that our pipeline is still progressing. Yeah This is how it has basically rolled out our applications To the stage environment and then it's going to ask for the manual approval And then it's going to just process your template and take the deployment Deployment conferences out of it and just going to deploy our applications to the given namespace of the project in the open shift So that's it from the demo And just one demo just want to provide to get the glimpse of as an user How how your CI city pipeline can access the resources from the other clusters, right? So here is just simple definition we are saying that with some sort of the credentials Just query those credentials or more of like for the given project or for the given cluster URL give the project details and more of like By default if you are not going the particular project and the particular cluster then it's going to just print the default Current project working space where it is configured. Now if we see as an output of this pipeline We can essentially see that This is not default project It is actually accessing some other cluster or other project namespace which is running on some other open shift cluster Let's say some other one, but the default one is something like this So the aconode hink is so for example, right? So that's how this As an user you can leverage on this pipeline and still Yeah, so Excuse me So here is how you're trying to make the Bob happy. So he's just not developer now his builder He is able to ship the applications Yes, thank you for listening to this presentation. This is the team. We are working Any questions for stock Sure, so the question is Can we take this code ready set up and just run it on our local setup or it has to be online? Right now. It's it's always it's an online. It's managed service but If you if as an user of the developer you want to take everything it's everything is on the github To be honest, it's not really that well documented But if you understand the Kubernetes and open shift you can take all these things and actually we can spin up all the services on your Open shift cluster because everything is running on the open shift, but to be honest, it's really hard at this moment Yes, we have a plan for At this moment, we are really not sure but it's essentially we are more of like targeting all our Current plans considering the 4.0 as the center, but yes, definitely We may then focus on the previous versions of the open shift So you mean to say Understood you correctly You want to take the existing Jenkins file generations And more of like customize it for the particular Sure we can set up so for example if we go back and look at the first line of our library, right? So basically at this moment there are two things so one thing is the DSL APIs if you're considering Those are more of like can be used with any open shift environment not only this one. That is the first thing right and Second thing is like again You can extend or create the existing pipeline DSLs, right? And probably you can create more of like customized DSL for your enterprise company and probably you can package it and ship it It's quite easy to replace and use that extender version. I'm not sure if it does that answers your question Sure problem probably we can discuss it offline if you want Thank you very much for joining


Yeah, it's fine.  I'm out here with Chris today. We're sitting in the car We're gonna be raiding skateboarders tattoos good or bad. It doesn't matter We've got a whole bunch of skaters tattoos to look for today and yeah This was Chris's idea he hit me up and I was down because uh, yeah, I don't think anyone's done this You know, I've never I haven't seen it and the reason I hit this amazing man up is because he's amazing skateboarder as well as A tattoo artist as you guys know and thank you. Thank you couldn't find a better person to react to some tattoos Yeah, so skateboarders so the first tattoo is a billy marks. We got we got a Monopoly man. Yeah as you can see and The other tattoos around it, you know, I can't skate but uh, how do you feel about the Monopoly man right here?  Mm-hmm. Um, I Feel like it could have been done better. I mean It says free hand job. So oh no that weren't free.  There's like the thrash if one says I can't skate the dyes I think that's a switchblade. Yeah, it's a switchblade right there. That's like that some steak figures over here Yeah, that's like that gnarly skate rat style of tattoo, which is popular Yeah, people hit me up to tattoo that stuff and I'm like I can do it for you, but it's gonna look clean I can't do it sketchy because I just don't know how to do it like I'll sit down and do the tattoo And it'll come out clean. I can't I can't unless I do with my left hand I could make it sketchy and and I know Billy pretty well. He's a good friend of mine And he he purposely likes to get bad tattoos. That's a stall all over him. Yeah, this one. I don't I don't hate it That I actually I kind of like it. It's definitely different. It's an interesting style and it's on his hand So yeah hard place to tattoo. I assume. Yeah, it's hard and the skin heals very differently there because it's so thin You can see how swollen his hand is already Yeah, and you're always washing your hands. You're always doing stuff for your hands So tattoos on your hand take a time to heal. You know, yeah, we got Jeremy Rogers. Oh When you told me about this idea, I was like we got to do Jeremy like in my head I was thinking we have to put jamming. Yeah, so we got the rapper himself Shouts out Jeremy Rogers Jezza as we would say in Australia to be honest I can't really read most of it, but that's his neck tat. I fear no man. Oh, yeah, that's yeah Man, this is a very like I feel like this is a very early 2000s style script tattoo because like times new Roman Yeah, like it's it's like the eyes super big and then there's like the capitals on each word um, I mean If you would have glanced at it like this, it's kind of hard to read Yeah, I think that the fear is the hardest one to read. It looks like Jean or lean. Yeah That's why I thought it was it first Yeah, I mean, I Whenever I tattoo someone's neck, I always say like you have to go big or go home Mm-hmm doing something like yeah doing something like this is a ballsy move especially back in the early 2000s like Getting a neck tattoo was like a big deal But I mean, I would give it I don't know five out of ten just because I feel like it could have been executed Better that's all I feel as though this tattoo was done by his friend in his garage. Yeah, that's that's what I was getting It looks like a quick like yeah, my homie can help me up real quick with this neck tat like I Love what you've done with your career Jeremy, but I'm gonna have to say this one's a four member. He he does He was like one of the first like skateboarder with a face. Yeah, he has a couple on his face He's got a microphone. Yeah, he's a microphone Yeah, he was gonna be a rapper He was he was definitely one of the first people to really be like tattooed up. Yeah, like he was like tattooed everywhere And like you didn't really see that as much like especially back then when when visible tattoos Weren't looked at wasn't it wasn't you don't get these kind of tattoos and he copped so much hate Oh, yeah, no, everyone's doing it. Yeah, everybody has a face. Everyone gets tattoos neck tattoos And he was like he was in the era when getting that's like, oh, why would you do that? That's such a bad idea like he was doing it at that time Okay, that's out to Chris because he fruit together. I only had like a few skateboarders in mind But he like dug through the interwebs and I love every photo. There's so many skateboarders have a lot of tattoos, so All right, we got we got Braden I'm gonna say his last sovereign ski. I can never pronounce his last name. We got neck face on his knees Okay, it's pretty funny it's Yeah, this is like It's just cool. I like it because you can tell it's neck face. Yeah, you look at it And it's like It's a funny joke. It is a good joke and I think if you're walking out of the beach wearing some we're in some beach shorts. Yeah pretty I think it's hilarious Yeah, a lot of people would think that as well. It's drawn in neck face style I don't hate it. I don't hate it. A lot of people watching this video Oh, it looks like a Like if you look at neck face, he's this is his that's his style and style of artists When you can still get it the same way on the body. It's it's really impressive to me This is like collective piece for sure the 100 it's like it's kind of funny And it's done by a well-known artist. That's 100 of collective piece. I would rate it A good seven and a half out of 10. Yeah, I'm gonna give this one a seven as well because I I like this one and just Having neck face tattoos and so yeah, so definitely that one's crazy to me Oh, we got it. We got a good one up next. It's had this one for a long time He's put a lot into it. It used to just say it used to just be the word but now there's a lot around it He's fully made the collage. You know, we got Ryan Sheckler. I had it. Okay. When I was younger I used to watch life of Ryan life of Ryan And he he got the back tattoo when he was like 16 or 17 very young super young I remember it. His whole family has tattoos. Yeah.  Yeah, so that's sick. I like it. I think it's a sick Yeah, and I can see I can see because it used to just be Sheckler And then he got like some kind of tribal piece. Oh, that's like a background. What do they call it sacred geometry? Okay. Yeah, that's like a sacred geometry style. What's underneath it looks like San Clemente He's from San Clemente. There's a bowl. Yep. That's a bowl. That's a skate park's bowl A sunrise some palm for a back tattoo and oh some skateboards up with wings and okay It's a bit busy for me. It is a lot. Is it a lot of stuff, but yeah from okay from here up without looking at the city I really like the tattoo. Yeah, it's done really well. It's you know, he has his name on his back A lot of people would look at that strangely, but I don't mind it. It's done. Well. Yeah, he obviously had very good professional Yeah, he had like a legit tattoo artist work. Yeah, so Yeah, I like that from above up Yeah, it's a it's a nine out of ten from above once he put the city in there. It's not awful I'm not saying it's bad. Yeah, but it made it for me personally. I made it go down a little bit But still gonna do an eight because it means something to him. Yeah, it's not done badly It's just a lot on him, you know, he went into it with the right thing he was like I want to put my city on my back and It's on his back, but like as an artist myself. I would probably rate it like Seven just because I feel like The city of San Clemente could have been done It needs a lot more shading in the buildings. Just the buildings. You know what I thought they were I thought there was like empty cards like empty playing cards. Yeah Well, yeah, because right down here It looks like it's done a lot of shading work and then when it gets to the buildings Looks like the artist was like, I'm too tired. Yeah. I mean just chuck in some little windows. Yeah buildings and stuff Yeah, we got okay. We're gonna start with this guy. We're gonna start. Okay. So he had this tattoo first And uh, he got it covered up. We're gonna show it.  You've never seen this. No. Yeah, this is uh, this is one of his first tattoos He ever got first one. This is one of this is yeah, it's one of the few This is uh, Niger Houston. This is a young Niger pretty like chatted up This is his mother and uh, you can tell that they're why did they put it? Why did the artist put it there for bad placement that this is a not a bad Yeah, or bad placement really bad placement with doing portrait style tattoos Like if someone comes to me and they're like, yo, I want to get a portrait of Elvis Presley sick But if they're like, I want to get a portrait of my mom. I'm like, oh, I don't know if I'm comfortable doing that because Everybody knows what Elvis looks like, you know, you could make a little Mistake and you'd still be able to tell it's Elvis But with this it's like you have to make it perfect to the photo to a tee Which is like, I feel like the artist did do a good job at almost achieving that But where they the placement is like that's her nipple. Yeah Yeah, it is it's placed where her like almost where her nipple is and it's his nipple Maybe he didn't know that they were going to do like that. Maybe he just seen the stencil of the head and the hair Definitely did not know he was like, yeah, that's sick and then covered up laid there for eight hours and then all of a sudden he's There's a nipple in the middle of the tattoo I don't Like he covered it. Yeah, he covered it. I'll show you where he covered it But uh, another thing about this that I think is interesting is when when you do a portrait of someone, especially of their family member You know, you want to do it accurate to the the photo, but sometimes you want to embellish it a little They made her look kind of old around the mouth. Yeah, see it's not very flattering Yeah, when you're when you're tattooing these types of pieces you have to be you chip away at it Basically, it's all layered you're doing the lighter tones the darker tones and it's only one false move You you you put in a little bit of dark gray that isn't meant to be there and it can make them look completely different so all in all Not terrible awful placement and I don't know how Him or the artist or if he had friends around we're like, yeah, that's great He looks quite young. He looks like he's very young 17 or 18.  So it's like that's sick He's a great person. Yes, you know first tattoo mom on the chest awesome But just I don't know why the artist plays it like that and uh, so I'll show you what he covered it up with Okay, you can still see okay I never knew it was there So that is a good thing when you're getting a cover up as in people will look at it and be like Oh, shit. I didn't even realize I was in there. Yeah, you can't even tell he's got He got it. It looks like he got it almost lasered off Yeah, almost because you can see it a little bit. You can see the Yeah, and then he got the compass clock rose geo Geometric and then just like He has really good tattoos. He has very well executed tattoos very me wrong. They're very well executed like um He got blasted out really quick quick like that really quickly because I don't know how old he is now But he first got his first tattoo at 18. Yeah, I think he's what like 25 26 right now or something Yeah, and his whole body's covered like he's he got quick, you know And uh, I look at his story all the time. He's always getting a new tattoo. Yeah, yeah same I see him. He's always getting tatted. He he has really good tattoos. Yeah, his tattoos are very professionally done I just feel like No shade to Niger like rad skater I just feel like When you're getting tattooed very quick In a minimal short amount of time Sometimes you can get tattoos that are cool within the period and then five years 10 years past and it's like people go Remember that trend when everybody got those tattoos. I feel like he has a lot of those tattoos. He definitely is getting tattooed Uh, a lot of his tattoos are definitely like this is what's popular right now. Yes. It's like this It's like okay.   You know what so good.  I don't know. That's it. I don't know how you use the toilet because yeah You can't sit on the seat. Yeah painful tattoo and I think I don't know, you know What made this tattoos become so viral. It's not It's not because he's naked in the photo. It's because There's circles on his butt cheeks.  Yeah, he has his lower Um, what do you call it spine record that bit we here in america? I'm sure you call it there too. We call it a trap stamp tramp stamp tramp stamp right there But like it it the top of it goes into the top of his eyes. It goes into his very painful to get tattooed Man, he he he can he can he can lay and get a tattoo He can call the tattoo he can he's has I mean To he can get tattoos for sure I can see that i'd love a geo dot work stuff, which is cool. There's a lot of geo on him. Yeah, but I just I mean Maybe the artist was like yo am I still coming over to tattoo you tomorrow? Yeah, man. What are we gonna do?  Yeah, those are like bang bang.

I'm pretty sure And he he he just sat there and just took it and got tattooed and got a big monster logo on his back which I mean I want to know I want to know how much they're paying him because he's got a brand deal with monster But like why would you do this? He Kids robbers a businessman robbers a businessman. He's like, yeah, dude. Like I've got this brand deal monster like why not advertise the logo on me for life Not not a good idea.

From the Salesforce Tower in downtown San Francisco, it's theCUBE, covering Accenture TechVision 2019, brought to you by SiliconANGLE Media. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're in downtown San Francisco at the Salesforce Tower, 33rd floor, brand new Accenture Innovation Hub. Five stories here in the building. Did the ribbon cutting this morning and we're really excited to have our next guest. It's been on many times. I think the first time in 2013, fresh off the plane from Davos, Paul, they're already great to see you. It's great to be here, Jeff, and thanks for joining us at this event. It's a really big day for us. Absolutely, and I didn't get your title and I get chief technology and innovation officer. You're really at kind of the forefront. So let's jump into the tech vision. This is something you guys do every year. You pick five kind of big trends that we should be taking a look at. There's a lot of detail people can take their time to read through it. But I just want to touch on some of the highlights. What are some of the big changes from when we sat down a year ago? We have five trends this year. The number of trends varies a little bit, but I think the one key takeaway and highlight from the vision this year is this idea, the big idea, that we're entering the post-digital era. And I think many people will be surprised by that. What do you mean? When you said that earlier, it sounded like post or just right in the middle of it, aren't we? Right, but just to contextualize that a little bit, last year, companies spent $1.1 trillion on digital transformation. 94% of companies are doing some stage of digital transformation. 68% of them said they're pretty well set with their digital transformation. They said they're set? They're in good shape. Now, you can question me. Is that surprising? Yes, it's surprising. Okay. And we're not sure that that's entirely representative. But nonetheless, what is true is that every organization is adopting digital. And the question we're asking in the vision is if everybody's doing digital, what's going to differentiate you? And we believe that that's the characteristic of the post-digital environment where what you did leading up to now isn't going to be enough to differentiate you and lead to success in the future. In the post-digital era, it's about some new business concepts about how you shape your business and new technologies and some new corporate obligations that are going to be instrumental in your success as an organization. Right. I want to dig into that a little bit because I think it's a really interesting conversation. At the ribbon cutting this morning, we had representatives from City County, San Francisco, representative from, I think, San Francisco State Academic Institution. And you said in some earlier remarks today that the responsibility for the company has moved beyond stewardship for their customers, stewardship for their employees and their shareholders, but really they got to be active contributors to the community. And that's been called out over the last couple of years, especially in the tech industry, that hey, you can't just do this stuff willy-nilly. You got to take responsibility for what you can do. Yeah, well put. And that's one of the key things that we've been talking about in prior visions, if you recall. This year it's a big theme. The importance of this is it's not just because it feels good. It's not just because you want to create good headlines. It's instrumental to your business success, to be responsible, to create trust with your workers, employees, consumers, and citizens, and people in the communities you live in. And I'll explain why. What's happening is we're creating increasingly intimate technology enabled experiences for consumers. Think about implantable medical devices to prevent epileptic seizures. Think about the monitoring devices we use. Think about the information that's collected on us. There's people swipe on Tinder 1.1 million times per second. 3.7 million Google searches per second. 178 million emails per second. 266,000 hours of Netflix tracking every pause, play, fast forward, yeah, per second. 266,000 hours. There's so much information collected on us out there. Our information is being used in so many different ways. And the technology is enabling companies to create individualized services for you that are great for consumers, but they're only going to be great if companies build a trust with their customers to get that data from them. And if they honor the boundaries of responsibility to make sure they can sustain those products and services. But Paul, you scare me to death because every day we hear this breach, that breach, this breach, that breach. So it's almost now. 3 billion identities in 2018 alone. So that's half the world, right? Yeah. So it's almost like, okay, that's going to happen. And now that you're getting all this additional information, now you can tie the information from my phone that I'm taking eight trips to 7-Eleven a day and spending way too much time on my couch, not moving around, and how those things are going to tie together. One, for kind of the ethics of how the information is used when they have it. And two, it is probably going to get breached.  We hear about it from GE all the time for a jet engine, but they have a digital twin of me in some database. That's, you know, it's with everything, right? There's a good side and a scary side. There is, but I think this is where the idea of trust becomes, you know, becomes very important. And we need to think about, companies need to think about these services and their consumers in different ways. A lot of people, including myself in the past, have used phrases like, data is the new oil. Data is the gold of, you know, artificial intelligence, this digital age we're living in. I think that's dead wrong. And we've got to change the mindset. Data isn't fuel or gold. Each piece of data is a fragment of a person and represents a part of a person's activity and identity. And I think if you change your thinking that way, and if you take a view that it's not all about, you know, optimizing the use of data, but it's about carefully using data in the right way that builds trust and provides value for the consumer, and you get that equitable exchange of value, that's what the future's all about. Right. So one of the topics, and again, we don't have time to go through all of them here, and you're going to give a presentation later, is kind of just the whole machine and human interaction and how that's evolving. And specifically I want to ask in terms of the work world, we hear about RPA and everybody should have their own bots and you know, you can have bionic legs so that you don't hurt your back if you're doing lifting. So as you guys kind of look at how these things are melding, it's going to be an interesting combination of people with machines that are going to enable this kind of next gen of work. Yeah, no, it'll be interesting, I think the important thing that we need to really think about is that like anything else, all these technologies are being designed by us, and we're deciding how to use them, we're deciding the principles around it. So this is about how do we design the world we want, which it gets back to the theme around responsibility and such, and if you look at it, we find that workers are actually optimistic about the technology, two thirds of workers are positive and optimistic about how all this technology is going to improve their job and increase career prospects, but only half of those workers believe that their companies are going to provide them with the right training and learning. And what we're talking about in the human plus trend in here, the human plus worker trend is that it's not a nice to have for companies to provide learning platforms and train their employees, it's critical to their success because the jobs are changing so fast, roles are changing so fast, that if you as a company don't invest in a learning platform to continuously advance your people to fill the new jobs as they're being redefined every day, you as a company are going to get left behind and that's what we're talking about in the human plus trend of the vision. Right. Another thing we hear all the time in terms of how technology's advancing on accelerating curves and people aren't so good at accelerating curves, but very specifically how no one person in one particular industry really has visibility as to what's happening in all these tangential, you know, what's happening in healthcare, what's happening in drugs, what's happening in logistics, you know, I'm in the media business, I don't know, you guys are really sitting in an interesting cappard seat because you can see the transformation and the impacts of technology across this huge front and it's that movement across that front which is really accelerating. It is. It's saying way faster than people realize I think. Yeah it is and it's a great position to be able to look across like that and the thing I'd say though is that unlike other areas of technology earlier, we're seeing remarkably broad industry adoption of these concepts, it's a little different in each industry as you just said, but every industry is looking at this and the interesting thing to me is one of the most common requests that I get from CEOs and from the C-suite is, you know, they want to pull together a workshop and they want to talk about their strategy where they're going and very often, more often than not now, they're saying and I want to hear from people outside my industry, I want to hear what's happening over there and if I'm in insurance, I want to hear what's happening in retail or, you know, they want to hear about different industries because they understand that the change is happening differently. They want to make sure they're not missing a pattern that they could apply in their own industry. Right, so last question before I let you go, you're speaking all the time, you're talking to customers, you go to cool shows like Davos, what does the innovation hub and these resources enable you to do with the clients that you couldn't do as we sit here in this beautiful new facility? Yeah, that's a great question. It's something we've worked on really hard over the last four or five years, it's creating what we call our innovation architecture and it's, we think a unique way of putting together capability from research and thought leadership to our Accenture Ventures, which is our venture capital investing arm, to Accenture Labs, which is our R&D and inventors, to our studios where we co-create with clients, to our industry professionals, the 2,000 people here in Northern California that are working with our clients every day and we can put all that together to turn the idea, you know, the research into results very quickly for our clients and I don't think anybody can do it in the same way we can by collocating all this and by the sheer investment we put into this. We invest over 800 million dollars a year in research and development, over a billion dollars a year in training for our people and that results in things like 6,500, 6,500 patents that we generate more than anybody else in our sector and 1,400 of those come from our people right here in the San Francisco Innovation Hub so it's an amazing place for innovation right here. All right, well Paul, thanks again for taking a few minutes, I know it's a busy day, you're getting ready to go present the findings for people, where should they go to to learn more about the tech vision? Go to Accenture.com, Accenture.com slash tech vision I think at midnight tonight Pacific time it'll be out there but by the time they see this they'll probably have access to it, thanks. All right, well Paul, thanks for taking a minute and good luck tonight. Always fun, thanks Paul. He's Paul, I'm Jeff, you're watching theCUBE with the Accenture Innovation Hub in downtown San Francisco in the Salesforce Tower. Thanks for watching.

Hi Freedom Family! Welcome back to another episode of the Freedom Hot Seat! Welcome back everybody! Hi! Today we have another Freedom Partner that does a lot of gaming, a lot of vlogs, and a lot of other types of content. So Freedom Family, let's go and meet him. Freedom Family, let me introduce Cephas Redd versus... Hi everybody in the Freedom community! As you know, my name is Cephas Redd. I'm very happy to be here right now and I want to say thank you to Noel for introducing me. Very happy to be in the Freedom Hot Seat this week. So stoked to get to share with you guys about my channel, about my videos, and basically tell you a little bit about myself and what my mission is. For those who don't know, I am a gaming channel. I'm also a vlogging channel as well. My games range around from action and adventure all the way to horror, suspense, thriller, maybe some puzzle minigames here and there. Vlogging channel basically is me having a conversation with you guys letting you know about all the different things and events that are happening and keeping you all updated and keeping you all inclusive with everything that's happening with this channel. Cephas Redd versus is an amazing content creator that does not give up in the face of adversity. He enjoys sharing his content to other people. He believes that getting the community engaged or interacted with you should be the ultimate goal of any YouTuber. He also wants to share to his audiences that he loves connecting to people via livestream. Also, he does share his thoughts, emotions, and of course a part of his life to everyone in his audience via vlogs. Without being said, let's get to knowing better. Hi Cephas! I hope you're doing awesome today. My first question to you is what's the story behind your channel? The story behind the channel is that my friend and I, my friend's name who was tight-skinned who shows up in my videos here and there, we were discussing about doing something in regards to maybe podcasting or recording videos and things like that. But that wasn't until 2006, 2007, about a year after YouTube was launched and created. And that's when I found PewDiePie basically, and you know everybody already has, right? And you know it was all thanks to PewDiePie and his gaming that got me hooked on to maybe getting myself involved in the gaming community too. And even though with that being said, I still didn't actually start starting until 2012 because I didn't have the equipment at that time. But I still loved watching all of those videos, gaming videos from PewDiePie and also from other users as well like Cinnamon Toast Ken, and especially Markiplier as well. Markiplier is one of my main influences of doing my own channel as well because of his amazing announcer voice. I wanted to create a gaming channel that was family-friendly, that didn't concentrate so much on cursing and swearing in the commentary and rather just focusing on the gameplay itself. I can honestly say that when 2014 came around, that was when I found out that YouTube was an absolute thing that you could actually make money with and actually make it a full-time commitment. And you can make videos and gaming and all that cool stuff. And that was me. That's what I wanted to do. One thing I did want to mention that it wasn't about the money, it was the fact that I wanted to entertain people. Me being an actor myself, a fully credited actor, I just love the aspect of entertainment. I loved entertaining other people, whether they make them laugh, cry, you know, get scared or something like that.  I loved it. I always loved it.  He will keep doing what he's doing as long as you guys are being entertained. What stirs you or motivate you every day to make great content? What stirs me everyone to create amazing videos is the fact that I love sharing what I have with everyone watching me. I've always believed in co-op games. I've always believed in entertaining and sharing my experience with others. When it came to just playing games in itself, playing horror games or things like that on my own, it didn't seem like it was enough. Like I wasn't really enjoying myself to the fullest. I liked having someone there beside me, like my buddy Tyson. Oh man, just the experience of having another person there sharing a reaction. It's absolutely phenomenal. I love it. And so being able to do this here on YouTube, because for me, I'm not just talking into a camera. I'm talking to thousands of people who may be watching this right now. I love sharing my experience. I love bringing life to the games that I'm playing in the commentary.  Maybe not so awesome games, but the fact is, is that commentary is commentary. Reaction is reaction. And if I can share that with you guys and I get some sort of emotional reaction, that's what makes me want to create more and more videos. Interaction and having your community in mind is one of the key characteristics of any YouTuber. Stephacered, don't lose your love for the community. Okay, Stephacered versus what are the goals for your channel? My goals for the channel is basically try and be the best that I can be. I can basically influence other people to say, Hey, you know, I can do this as well, because if I can do this, anyone can.  You know, you got to start somewhere, right?  It was like one of those old stick like microphones. That's where that's where it all began.  And the goal for the channel is to make a difference for the good of all people. I know that Markiplier and Jacksepticeye are two great examples of people who are trying to change the world for the better. And that's me as well. I want to show what I can do to this world, to give them hope, to give them inspiration, to give them influence, to do something great. That's my biggest goals for the channel. I want to show everybody that I can be the best that I can be for just being who I am and not forcing myself to be someone that I'm not. Freedom Family, here's your chance to make collaboration videos with CephasRedVersus. Don't forget to check out his channel. You have been doing a lot of wonderful content in the past six years. How did you manage to get your channel to what it is right now? One, diligence. Two, determination. Three, never giving up. And four, trying new things. I know there's going to be a lot of times where you're probably going to wonder like, Hey, you know, is this working? Should I try something else? Yes, do that. Always keep trying things. Whether it's like playing one game or it's playing another game, like I actually never really thought about doing any kind of vlogging other than just gaming.  I kind of want to involve the community a bit more. So vlogging came in. And then not only that too, I wanted to involve them even more. So then comes reading your comments, Q&As, things like that. Always involve new things. Don't stop at just one thing and think that's the best thing you can do. Always try more because you want to involve the community. Bring them in. That's the secret of it. How I managed to get the channel where it is right now. Basically just keep trying. Keep doing. Never ever give up. I may only have almost 4,200 subscribers and it's taken me six years to get to that point. But it doesn't mean that I'm never going to give up. It may be rising up slowly, but it's getting there. And that's what you got to do too is just keep on getting on. Because in the end, it'll all be worth it. The biggest thing too is how I managed to get the channel where I am right now is basically just be yourself and have fun with it. And that's the number one thing. Have fun with what you're doing. You don't want to be forced to do something and there's no passion behind it. It'll just fall to pieces. That's what will happen. Don't be stuck freedom family with just one type of content. Be flexible and keep trying new things for your audiences. And also always, always have fun when you're doing it. What are the things in your channel that is helping you grow? I'm involving the community. I'm keep having energy in my videos. Try to keep everything having fun, of course. I've already mentioned this before. I'm not talking to a camera. I'm talking to an audience inside that little camera right there. For you guys to listen to me is absolutely heartwarming and that you're taking time out of your busy day to listen to me. I'm trying different games. I'm trying different kinds of equipment in order to see what sticks, what doesn't and moving on from that. As you know, I'm doing live streams as well. I haven't done live streams in a long, long time and try them out. People are liking them. So why not keep going with that, right? Don't stop with just one thing. You've got to expand. That's what I think I'm doing right anyway is involving the community, making sure that like we're having as much fun as possible and that we're keeping everything open so that people can ask questions. They can request games and basically get involved in the comment section down below in the community as well. There's a quote that I remember from Steve Martin. Be so good they can't ignore you. Remember that. Community involvement is very important. Never ever exclude your community. Make them feel special and engaged because they will reward you in ways that you do not expect. What advice can you give to our audiences that can help them out with their channel? Find some sort of uniqueness in yourself that you can bring to you. My unique self is being relatable, not loud as everybody and also being family friend to the point where I'm not cursing or swearing. That's my thing. You need to bring something that's unique to yourself and what you can bring as unique to YouTube. With that uniqueness, have fun with it. Create. It doesn't matter if it's for gaming, for vlogging, for makeup, for anything at all. Be you. Be unique. Everyone is unique in their own way. Don't be afraid to display that uniqueness to your videos. Like what I said in my previous video, don't be afraid to be yourself. If you are goofy like me, be goofy. If you are loud, be loud. Thank you so much, CephasRed, versus for those amazing answers. Now is your time to shine. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for your time. My name is CephasRed.
