What time it is Seven something It didn't let me set the chat either They still have an updated that the where you can set your chat. So they still have that the way they had it It's where you can't just you know Do all the adjustments and then when you share it It cuts you off So hopefully I got a good enough service and it's not too much of lagging On here what it's a Thursday night that we able to put this up on my end But I'm in the car. So what I want to do is Go live versus recording the video and then trying to upload it and It's real interesting too and that's why I want you to be encouraged of how When you step out on your dreams and you step out to do what you call to do You can't worry about the bumps in the road and the hiccups because Here we have a multi-billion dollar company Who has some of the brightest minds in the world and They still not set up and structured in a way. That's practical like if I They have a button on here for me to share the live so I Have to now if I share the live to my community page or To anywhere it shuts me off for the live And so if I'm new to this I'm gonna think that my live just glitched and that it's over. It's done but When you go back to click the plus sign like you're gonna upload a video and then you click go live Then it pops up and says you have a live going already resume or end and so it Cut me out as if I chose to cut myself out Versus allowing me to share it used to let me share it and the live would stay on Now the live cuts off if I share it But I say that to say We get so hard on ourselves when we trying to build a business and build a brand and so my site's not right Or my emails not right or my logo is not right And we don't realize that this company's worth billions of dollars still figuring it out Been around for two decades and still figuring it out still working out kinks So never worry about what you lacking in what you're doing And I want to get this video tonight. That's off the topic, but I always try to Relate the real-life situations. I want to put this video up for for really for nine o'clock But my son get out of practice at nine o'clock. So we don't have to go but I've been thinking about this because we've been looking at this and we've been seeing this a lot with our Relationships and a lot of people are saying hey is love either even worth it is love still real is love still a Thing like is it worth giving of myself and getting into a relationship and First what I want the singles to understand is If you want somebody We live in a day and time and this is a choice that you have to make but I'm gonna just keep it real with you in This day and time if you want somebody You first have to address your Packaging Meaning if you are a diamond If you are a diamond in a brown bag You are going to continue to be overlooked You have to switch to a Tiffany's box to get picked Now some people will say well Tony it looked like some Tiffany boxes are out here, but they still single well You still got to be a diamond in the Tiffany's box So the Tiffany's boxes are getting picked But when that stone get tested if it is cubics Arconia it get let go So you have to understand that the main thing that's happening today is our society is turning people into Diamonds in a brown bag or cubics Arconia in a Tiffany's box instead of having a Diamond in a Tiffany's box meaning we need to get right. You have to get right inside and out in this day and age It did not always have to be like that and then some people say well Tony I see some people that look a mess and then in relationship They attracted what they are So if they look a mess the person they wit look a mess and If the person they wit don't look a mess The person they would they wit Open the box and realize they are a diamond inside of this hill box and that's why that person with them and You can't you cannot look at what other people have and what other people doing because we never know the inner workings of other people relationships But what you have to be able to do is ask yourself am I working on my three B's? brain brand body Do I have my three B's in order most people have two B's and They lacking in one. It's a lot of people with the brains and the brand and They missing the body. It's a lot of people with the body and The brand and they missing the brains a lot of people with the brains and The body but they missing the brand Brain brand body. You got to have all three B's to get picked today The reason why we're not getting picked today Why people ain't get picked today is because of a microwave society So when you are in a microwave society people are accustomed to getting things fast and Also being able to change things out fast so people are a Custom to having a return policy and being able to get your money back People are accustomed and people are being bombarded by advertisements and by distractions.  I say well, that's where y'all send y'all self up for failure because the app is not for y'all the app is BLK for a reason is for black people.  It's very rare as it organic There are organic ones, but it even knows that's organic is typically a black man who don't really relate to the blight the inner city black race and So we also have to understand the dynamics of relationships.   God bless their union, but common had Serena first and squandered it Like what is you doing common? Here you got a dog on strong woman body talent Yes, you might got an attitude now But we don't know how she is behind closed door. We see the attitude on that court and yes She's swaying that racket at your head. You're gonna die, but still how you get Serena? Where is you let her go and Now she had to go date outside her race because the black man that was dating her did not know how to keep her and God bless God bless the interracial unions, but For the people who are not in an interracial union Have to realize when you look at an interracial union you got to evaluate it and so Serena's look is not praised by black men because of the media's programming When we get outside of the media programming we could see that she's a beautiful woman and When you look at what the media is showing us it's gonna showing us the same type of women and Then when you look at the man He Typically does is not praised by his race a lot of times It's individuals who have been taken for granted or mistreated They didn't go to another race Because you go where you celebrate it not where you tolerate it So that's what happens is a lot of times in this There are some but it is it is an exception to the rule where interracial couples is organic pure love a lot of times it's by force or It's by circumstance and not organic now You have to realize and I agree with Janine Because what I've found is that every woman got a soft place for a man but a man got to get to that place and Got to get outside of the the box But here's what we have to realize You got to understand looks compatibility The reason why a whole The reason why a whole line of Relationships are failing is because we don't understand compatibility and looks compatibility People will say oh what looks are mattering in a relationship It even mattered to a blind man y'all watch the Stevie Wonder movie or the Ray movie where he used to grab the wrists If that wrist had too much bacon in there He kept it moving That wrist had to be a certain shape for Ray The want to put that pole on her If that wrist had a little too much of the wrong shape Ray was gone And he couldn't even see So you have to understand looks do matter both ways a Woman don't want a man that she's not attracted to a man does not want a woman.  Oh my good. Oh my good. Oh my good Like nobody has made Michael Jordan say oh my good. Oh my good.  You need to be able to look at them And so you got to understand that you got to first understand the compatibility The relationship compatibility. Okay, then what you want to understand After that is you have to understand see We don't address our childhood trauma So we bring our parents issues or our caretakers Guardians or our guardians issues into our relationships today So when you bring your daddy wounds or your mommy wounds Into the relationship You then start to treat your partner like you dealing with your parent and You're having a response to your parent even though you're not with that parent and When you get beyond the parents then it's our exes and we're responding to the present Based on feelings from the past and This affects our relationships greatly because we're not responding to the person that we're with and We are shell shot and we operate and based on what we have gone through So if we saw a parent be very controlling in a relationship then we become Controlling in the relationship or On the flip side we feel like everything is controlled and so we lash out against this person Who was just communicating and asking of us a normal request in a relationship But we are taking it as control because we grew up with somebody who Was controlling then what happens is on the flip side we then go to a place where We are defensive so we either are emulating the behavior that we seen or We are reacting to the behavior that we seen even though it is not present in this relationship so I See a lot of women Who grew up in a two-parent home?  I noticed that a lot of those women despise Women who are homemakers because they feel like they are weak They feel like they are insignificant and they feel like they are less than so those women then do a lot of preaching about Having a career and having your own money Not realizing that the only reason they feel that way is because their dad was toxic So instead of realizing their dad's toxicity They are daddy's girls so they feel like their dad could do no wrong and they're mad at their mother for not having a backbone But what they don't realize is that if their mother would have had a perceived what they call a backbone Then they wouldn't have had that mother In that house cooking and cleaning and serving and cleaning up after them So they mad at their mom instead of understanding. It was their dad that weakened and broke their mama back So instead of looking at dad like why didn't you create a safe space if you want to have a homemaker Why didn't you if you want to kill woman? Why didn't you do the keeping meaning? Why didn't you take care of her emotionally mentally? spiritually and financially and then on the flip side what happens is a Lot of men We look down We look down on the woman who is not making money So we treat her less than and by treating her less than then a man will tell His daughter Always have your own and he tells the daughter always have your own because of How he knows he treated the mom But if he treated the mom Y'all got to forgive me that loud siren if he treated the mom with love and respect and Like an equal partner Then he would be able to tell his daughter. He would be able to believe That his daughter could be treated with respect and loved as a homemaker So when the lady says my mom always told me to have my own or My dad always told me to have my own It's because he knew that her mom Was marginalized By him So he didn't want her To be marginalized by another man who may very well be the same as him So then he takes and puts her on guard and on the defense to then be against her husband to be at war with her husband because He told her to always have your own so then she will marry her career and then have children and She wants to be everything for her children and everything for her career and you can't be 100% in two different places at the same time And so that's another reason why our relationships fail But it literally come from upbringing. It literally is all childhood trauma is Us not being able to rest In our masculinity and our femininity and Us not being able to understand that there's nothing wrong with roles and Those roles could be different But you define the roles for your relationship and for your household not based on your parents household So we take the past and bring it into the present and that's why it is said that a person is made up of The history and the biography equals the makeup of a man or a woman their history and their biography And so we have to renew our mind and renew our spirit and we have to redefine what we know to be love and Also a healthy relationship instead of just Living based on the imprinting that we received as children and So we are failing in relationships because we're not present We're not present. We are in the past and we bring in the past to the present and We do not value each other so Men and women have to come to the place that we fully respect The opposite sex and that we value the contributions and the uniqueness of that gender so men downplay how Divinely and wonderfully created a woman is and Women downplay how divinely and wonderfully created a man is But if we can have a mutual respect and we can stop pedestalizing ourselves and then demeaning the opposite sex then We will come to a place where we can have a mutual respect and we can build on that respect But Men will minimize a woman's contribution to oh all she does is cook and clean Not realizing that there is no man in the world that can give birth and That there is no robot that can give birth to a human But yet we minimize a woman to cooking and cleaning when a robot can cook and clean But a robot cannot conceive carry and birthday human But men we will minimize the contributions of a woman and even if a woman cannot have children There is still no robot and no man that can support and nurture The way a woman is because of how her brain is wired and then a woman will look at a man and minimize his masculinity and not realize the unspoken impact that he has on children and how children take and Respond to a man who is present and healthy and whole and it changes their life by his presence alone and A lot of women will ignore the fact that their child will spit in their face But then kiss the ground that their father Walks on and he's not even in the home as much as the woman Because he may be out working a lot and that child will respond and that child will give that father credit and respect and A woman will forget the value of a man and we do this to each other So if anybody when you coming in I know already spoke on the other side So if you catch one side of it, that means you missed the other side So we gonna have some people that come in late and they miss far. Oh That go boy And so we have to understand this that we have to have a mutual respect And so when we have this mutual respect now, we're able to build Now we're able to say hey You do something that I can't do And when we both can say you do something that I can't do You are priceless You are irreplaceable When we have a mutual respect for each other Then that's when we're able to build But the reason one of the reason our relationships is failing is We minimize the contributions of one another and so therefore When you don't have gratitude Then you can't have growth so a relationship cannot grow if there is no gratitude in the relationship and We always tend to think That the neighbor has a better garden and what we don't realize is that if the neighbor has a better garden It's because they spend more time in their garden. So men assume That there's a woman better than their woman and Women assume that there's a man better than their man and instead of the two of them having a mutual respect and In working together on their problems They look outside of the relationship for somebody else to solve their problems And they think that if they go to somebody else those problems will be solved and This is why we fail See we don't look within we look without and when we look without That's where We lose it and so we have to come to a place to where we say okay, what can I do? Because what you have to understand is that Energy does not die. It transfers. So what I mean by that is When you come into the space You shift You affect the atmosphere Because you are matter and you matter So when you change your mindset and You change the way you move It naturally it has to by law affect the way your partner moves But if you don't move a certain way if You're not changing and you're not doing anything Then your partner not gonna be able to change see if you reinforce the negative If you reinforce the negative Then that's what's going to repeat itself So you got to understand that because when you shift things shift And here's the thing a lot of times what we do wrong in a relationship is we wait on our partner to change We tell our partner what we want them to change and then we wait on them to change not realizing that our Actions cause a equal or greater reaction And so where we fail at is by us not changing and instead waiting to be changed for The relationship fails Because if someone is not affectionate They're not affectionate because they did not receive affection so if you tell them that you want affection and Then you wait for them to be affection affectionate But they do not know what affection looks like and feels like but you don't exemplify The affection because of your pride and your ego and you're waiting on them to be affectionate Then the relationship is going to fail But if you want affection Then you have to give affection Because when you give affection you then make it okay for them to give affection You then exemplify and show them How affection looks and feels and so this is what you have to understand When you change your situation is going to change So that's what you have to realize Now what happens is and it's don't come in here mentioning people and then get blocked If you're on my page, this is about my teachings We ain't talking about nobody else's teachings and you're applying stuff That's out of context because this ain't talking about changing nobody this talk about changing you and So if you come in here and shut up and listen then you'll hear the whole message and then you'll hear everything come together so if You coming in here working for Satan the cause distraction and confusion you're gonna get blocked off the whole channel So when you come in here You saying a man ouch This ain't going both ways and we arguing and debating I've been married 16 years and my wife changed me and I changed her too and we changed by changing our self So don't come in here with the foolishness. So you're gonna get blocked So this what you have to realize when you change the situation change and When the situation don't change That's when you change your situation meaning That's when you exit the situation Because when a person love you they're going to change but see this what we don't realize is You can't deal with a human You can't deal with every human the same way Because for some people they will raise so cold that they don't know how to be warm Some people was raised so hard. They don't know how to be soft But what you have to realize is that love conquers all So love conquers all so what that means is you have to learn how to speak love in different languages Because some people only felt pain So if you come to self and you don't know how to have tough love You don't know how to have direct love and you don't know how to reinforce Love and you don't know how to exemplify Self-love then what you then do is you reinforce their self-hate So what a lot of people think changing someone means They think that means tolerating their behavior But when you stand up for yourself and You are consistent and you stand on what you stand on Now you let this person know That you are not going to bend or fold for them and By not bending or folding for them. They realize that no disrespect will be tolerated and By you not accepting and tolerating disrespect you teach them how to treat you and What you have to understand is that some people were not raised They just grew So some people do not Understand Instruction the first the second or the third time but they understand Demonstration There's a difference between instruction and Demonstration so when you demonstrate by removing yourself From the situation so that they realize that What they are doing will not be tolerated They didn't know they need to leave or they need to change and when they fake change and Then they go back to who they were and you leave again no matter how much skin you got in the game They didn't realize That they cannot fool you They cannot play you and that you will move on with your life So that's what you have to realize So when you come to that place you start to understand that everybody can change a Cheater can change a Liar can change But they have to know That what they are doing will not be reinforced it will not be tolerated and so when you leave They didn't learn that they will lose you and When they learn that they will lose you Now they realize that who is after you won't be better But if they don't want to grow and change all that means Is that that is not your person That you are trying to love someone Who has their love language? Because love conquers all So there's different people There's different people Who can reach different people? So you have to understand that you won't be able to reach everybody So when a person won't change for you Meaning that your influence Won't encourage them and influence them to change on their own Then you don't speak their language and It's somebody else and it's a lot of times the person right after you That speaks their language and you got to be okay with that So here's the thing There's a push and there's a pull But in this push and pull what you have to understand is You have to have standards and You have to stand on Your standards You have to stand on your standards So the person has to know that there are things that you will not tolerate These standards also can be called boundaries So now you have these boundaries You love them Unconditionally you love them with everything that you have But when they do not reciprocate You do not reinforce You do not reinforce what? They won't reciprocate So now they learn I either got to put up a shut up And when they come to that place to realize that Because here's what you got to understand If a person was raised cold, they don't know how to be warm If a person was raised hard, they don't know how to be soft If a person was raised soft, they don't know how to be hard So what you have to understand is is that some people They only know destruction Some people only know brokenness And if it's not broken They want to break it Because they only feel at home in brokenness it's just like those of us who We come from nothing and not really having anything so we don't know how to be with something and Our comfort is having nothing So if we got a thousand dollars in the account We have to find something to spend that thousand dollars on Because we're so used to having nothing that we don't feel comfortable with something When we so used to toxicity, we don't feel comfortable in peace I remember being told about a study with a monkey who They took the monkey mama away and they replaced the monkey mama with a Just a live video Angelica And when they say live on that I mean that I mean it's live Just let you know a little bit somebody YouTube now when they say premiere that mean that it's pre-recorded But when they say lie that means lie And so see how I'm responding to you just lie one two three four Just lie. Okay.  That's what you call the Holy Spirit flow So understand it. They showed the monkey and they took the monkey mama they replaced the monkey mama with an identical monkey But the monkey mama the the doll had nails on it and The baby monkey went to hug the mama and Although the mama had nails on it The baby mama the baby monkey kept hugging This fake monkey with nails because it thought it was its mama So what you have to realize is Is that When somebody know When somebody only know pain that's all They won't and until they receive love long enough To where the love washes away the pain The same thing that Jesus Christ did for those he died for until the love Is continuously poured out in the form of grace and mercy and It washes away the pain.  Hey listen to me. Listen to me. You are making me your opponent and You are hurting me You are taking out spiritual warfare Physically See when you speak to the spirit directly The spirit got to respond but see what we do instead is We internalize because we do not understand The power of God and that when we pray and We confess and we call the spirit out when we don't understand the power of God and praying and confessing and Speaking allowed to the spirit.  Hey, listen. I need you to hear me. I need you to hear man I need you to hear me clearly There was a spirit on you and you are at war and What you going through?  They're not gonna operate in power instead. They're gonna shrink and when they shrink The devil gonna send a bandaid for their wounds and They're not going to see That the devil that's being sent to them is 10 times worse than the devil that they battle and right in front of them and That's why our relationships fail Because we go within instead of going to God and Instead of walking in love instead of speaking the truth and power instead of speaking To the situation We go about it the wrong way and when we go about it the wrong way then We easily deceived because somebody come up and They pretend to see What the adversary is the adversary is a decepticon The adversary can wear masks the adversary could wear different faces and They come up and they look like everything that we do not have They look like an answered prayer If a man is battling spiritually and there's some things he don't like about his woman Another woman with a Jezebel spirit is gonna come and she's gonna be friend this man And this could go vice versa. So understand everything. I'm saying vice versa now Gonna be friend this man and she's gonna be she's gonna say she cooks every day The woman ain't cooked in three months She ordered not She bringing the food to work like it's leftovers from what she cooked last night and the man Don't even know that the lunch she brought him come from the restaurant. He thinks she cooked it but she is desperate and lonely and she heard in conversation That his wife or his woman don't cook So now all of a sudden she's a cook His woman don't clean all of a sudden she hate messes She despised messes. She always got to be clean. She didn't and she didn't even clean her body last night But she's been to make this man think she the cleanest woman in the world So here this man is don't realize that he dealing with a decepticon Who is trying to trick? his woman at her spot and get in the spot and Then when she get in the spot and she get her claws in them and she get the money and she get To quit the job like his woman who don't got to work and she jealous of her She finna become ten times worse than what he thought his woman was and vice versa the same thing happened a Woman she at work or she bump into a friend. She bump into an old fling. She bump into somebody She go to talking about her relationship. Oh He always leave the toilet seat up He only bays twice a week He never helps around the kitchen He doesn't he's not handy. He doesn't know how to put anything together He forgets to take out the trash But what she fell into realize is that he's faithful He's faithful He ain't putting hands on him He's providing for But because he can't put a because he can't build a house from the ground up Because he forget to put the toilet seat down then here come this man. Oh Yeah, I just built this I built this on This this table yesterday She's like what you could build a table Wow My boyfriend or my husband couldn't build anything in a million years Then he come back the next day. Oh, yeah last night.  What you cook. Oh Yeah, I cook all the time. I have to cook every night. I like to eat clean Her man got a dad bar. He don't cook So now this decepticon Then came up and all he want to use her far is the money she got access to He won't her to help him with his kids He won't her To use her credit on him He want to tap into that saving so he finna pretend to be everything she said her man wasn't And this is another reason and remember everything I'm saying go both ways now.

I'm often asked, why is the dating and relationship conversation always about men? Women ask me frequently, why is it that we women have to learn about men, and when men are not learning about women? I'm going to address that in a moment. In today's video, we're going to talk about the seven myths about men that women don't really know about. But I want to lean into this conversation, why is it always about men? And to some degree, there's truth to that, although I will tell you, there are plenty of videos out there for men to understand women, and more so, there are a lot of videos out there teaching men almost about hating women. I'm not really happy about that. Hating is a very strong word, but really, there's a level of contempt for both genders right now in the dating, mating, and relating realm. What I think is most important to recognize today, more so, is the idea of marriage has actually, when I say the idea of the marriage, the actual institution of marriage has dropped significantly in the last 50 or 60 years, and what I mean is the desire to be mated with one person for life or for a very long time. And I think that's part of the reason why this conversation is so important to understand men, because there's a phrase that says, women are the gatekeepers of sex, and men are the gatekeepers of commitment, and what I mean to say is, men are the one who typically make the overture of saying, I want to take care of you for the rest of your life. So that is the highest form of commitment to say, I want to take care of you. I want to be partnered with you, and we've done that in the context of marriage. And since men tend to be the gatekeepers of that, when I mean they're the ones who initiate that, there has been a huge shift in the last 50 or 60 years in the process of getting to know someone, because in the past, there was courtship, and what basically courtship was was an intentional act to basically, I'm going to say claim someone, and I don't mean that in the property sense, but to basically say, I want you to be my mate. And today, courting has been replaced with dating. And what I mean by dating is now, they're basically, unlike the past, where before you had sex, you had to get married for the most part, not always, but for the most part. And now you can have sex without any real level of commitment, a barely a level of commitment. And certainly in the last decade, dating has turned into a hookup type of opportunity without any intentionality. So it's really important to understand this that if you genuinely want to be mated with someone, your way of approaching the process should be a lot different. And I think it's important to understand men in particular, because they're the, as I said, the gatekeepers of commitment, you're the gatekeepers of sex. And what's interesting is sex is also part of the decision making process to make a commitment with someone. So on some level, it's kind of a backwards approach. And yet on another level, it's actually important to, to determine if you're actually sexual compatible with one another, because let's face a lot of people got married back in the day and they were not sexually compatible with one another. And there was a lot of contention in the relationship. In fact, oftentimes 50% of divorces cite intimacy, both sexual and emotional intimacy as the primary reason why they got a divorce. So I want to lean into these seven myths about men that I think needs to be addressed because I think many women approach the dating process with these in the back of their mind. And I think it sets you up for failure. And I think when you actually understand it, you can approach the process differently. And in a few moments, I'll talk about how you can approach the process differently. So I'm going to put on my trusty glasses. I'm going to pull out my trusty notes, boom, boom, boom. All right. So seven myths about men you don't know. Myth number one, men are hunters. What I mean about this particular myth, the myth is how, okay, let's just say that men are hunters. In other words, they went out to the plains, they went out to the fields, they hunted buffalo, they hunted dinosaur, whatever they had to catch, whether in cave mandays or certainly before electricity. For the most part, we had to hunt for our food and men were the predominant hunters of food. Women were the berry pickers. They picked the berries in the field and that's where the nourishment came from. And there's this belief that men are singularly focused because they're tracking their prey, right? And somehow this has been applied to the relationship realm. Well, I don't really see how hunting for food relates in the same context of hunting for a relationship because the myth is that men are hunting a fully committed relationship. They're like, I want a relationship. I want a relationship. I want a relationship. What men are hunting? Well, on some level, biologically speaking, we are hunting sacks. I mean, we are driven biology to want to spread our seed. But somehow this narrative of spreading their seed has been translated to them hunting for a relationship, which means they should be the leaders of the dating process. And I'm here to say, ladies, you're giving the job to the wrong person. You do not want your relationship destiny in the hands of a man. You want to be in charge of your relationship destiny. This is why I continually recommend the book, excuse me, why men love bitches, excuse me, why men love bitches and bitch stands for babe in total control of herself, yes.  Don't leave that up to a man. So this notion that they're hunting relationship and that's why they should be the leaders of the process and my mind is nonsense, okay? So I just want you to understand that are they really hunting a relationship or do are they hunting the physical act of wanting to connect with you? And again, you're the gatekeepers of sacks. Okay, number two, men are only looking for supermodels. I hear this frequently and well, yes, a significant percentage of men, especially those in midlife are seeking someone younger. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll actually attract someone younger in their life. Just because they may want it doesn't mean they're going to attract it. Just because they may want a physically attractive person doesn't mean they're going to actually obtain that, okay? And by the way, ladies, you're just as caught up on Ryan Gosling and all Brad Pitt and that sort of thing as well. I mean, it may not be the ones you're interested in, but it's natural because of television, because of movies to maybe a desire someone like that, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to attract it. And ultimately, a significant number of relationships do occur these days when I say is that has nothing to do based on supermodel looks. I think what men want mostly, I think women as well, men just want to be with someone that they're attracted to, okay? Doesn't have to be a 10, doesn't have to be a supermodel, but it's a 10 to them. And so I just, I wanted to draw attention to this narrative because I just think it's, you know, again, yes, some men operate that way and some men have the financial resources to attract that, that's certainly possibility, or they have the physical attributes to attract someone who's a supermodel. The average guy doesn't. And while they might think about it, just like you think about being with a financially successful man, you might think about this, who can take care of you, we all have our fantasies, but doesn't necessarily relate to a reality is what I wanted to address. Number three, men love competition. There's this notion that you should be dating multiple people, women should be dating multiple men because we love the competition. I can tell you that's ludicrous and to the men that actually do like that, it's a conquest. Yes, some men like the competition, they will, if you're dating multiple men for them, it's the conquest to get you, but it doesn't necessarily mean to get into a relationship with you. This narrative that you, if you're dating multiple people, that will make the guy rise to the table. No, it won't. He might temporarily might want a conquest with you, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to genuinely want to be with you long term. In fact, if a woman was dating multiple men, I'd say, go have at it, homie, don't play that game. Like to date one person at a time. And by the way, I'm assuming you'd like him to want to date one person at a time, so wouldn't it make sense that you date one person at a time? And I'm talking about, listen, remember we said courting seems to be a thing of the past? I want to really encourage intentional dating, a level of intentional dating these days. In other words, being, having get to know, basically in a short period of time, lay your cards on the table, be radically honest with someone, just to see if you're on the same page with one another. If there is a, if there's a strong connection between two people, then be radically honest, lay your cards on the table to see if you're a fit and then explore a relationship with one person to see if it makes sense to actually want to be together from a long term perspective. But nowadays, dating is mostly about let's just have fun. Let's live in the moment. Let's have fun. Live in the moment. How well does that really work out? Having fun and living the moment, if you've had multiple, multiple, multiple short live relationships. How does that wear on your heart? And I'm not a big proponent of that. So I encourage everyone to have a level of discernment in their dating process. This is what I teach in my private coaching. By the way, there's a link in the description below or in the first comment below. My job is to help you learn what questions to ask a man based on your personality to determine if he's actually going to be a good fit for you. That's my area of expertise. All right, check out the link below. All right, number four. What does it say here? Men know what they want. You know, it's interesting. I'm going to come back to my coaching from women reach out to me all the time saying I want your help, Jonathan.  They know what they want. They know what they want. They know what they want. And they go through my proprietary coaching program.  I hear things like, Jonathan, why didn't they teach me this in school? Why didn't my parents teach me this? Why didn't I learn this before I married the wrong guy? And they say, you're right. I didn't know what I want. Well, this is true of men as well. Most people at midlife, roughly 75% of singles at midlife are divorced. And after a divorce, it can be very confusing to actually determine how to actually choose a partner that's compatible with you. Because we hyper focus on attraction and not enough about compatibility. And if you're not familiar with my relationship iceberg, I'm going to share this with everyone. Relationship iceberg, you can see this. It says above the waterline is, let's say, is attraction. And we focus on hyper focus on chemistry. But compatibility, you can see is below the waterline, shared values, blendable lifestyles, and emotional maturity.  And so when they say men know what they want, most men don't really know what they want in the form of a mate. Because nobody educates us on this stuff. This isn't taught to us. I've had to learn this through 3,000 hours of personal development workshops, trainings, getting my neuro-linguistic certificate or programming certificate.  To understand what a real successful relationship looks like, I highly recommend reading the book, The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work by John Gottman. And why I recommend this is because if you don't understand the mechanics of a healthy, happy relationship, how can you actually be in a healthy, happy relationship? And I will tell you, women reach out to me all the time telling me, Jonathan, I'm introducing these books that you recommend to the man I'm dating, and it's actually helping build intimacy with one another. Intimacy, into me you see, you actually form a greater bond by talking about the mechanics versus how's your day going? Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day. Because people seem to be talking about the superficial things in dating and not the more core reasons of why are we doing this?  It's your life. It's not about the men. It is about you. So take charge of your destiny. Number five, men are commitment folks. Well, I want to address that. Roughly about, here, let me share with you my chart about the people actively dating these days. So you understand this, OK? Three types of people actively dating. There's the users, the spenders, and the growers. The users seek short-term game, love bombers, players, gold diggers, entitled, selfish people only caring about their needs. The spenders, they seek connection, companionship, coupling or sex, no direction, uncertainty, fearful, have a dysfunctional life. And then the growers and builders, they seek long-term commitment. They're emotionally grown up with good relationship skills. They have their act together. By the way, this is not a fact. It's merely an opinion. Why I'm sharing this with you is, yeah, probably 80% are not capable. 80% of men are not capable of being in a healthy, happy relationship. This is why it's more important to understand who are the growers and the builders if that's what you want, because I'm going to tell you, women are just as dysfunctional as men. We have a significant percentage of women who are emotionally immature or have terrible relationship skills. This is why I highly recommend doing vetting before you actually start to engage in a relationship with someone. Number six, men are simple. Listen, I'm wearing my Batman t-shirt today. The reason why is if you know the backstory to Batman, I believe at age 12, Bruce Wayne lost both of his parents.  I created a lot of emotional trauma for him. A lot of emotional trauma. In fact, he became emotionally unavailable. He became an avoidant personality type. He had significant childhood wounds and traumas. Now, that's a big trauma. The reality is, is most men and women have experienced trauma in their life. Doesn't have to be as grand as that, but it could be micro traumas that affects how they operate in relationships. So this notion that men are simple, you just feed them, have sex with them, and let them watch TV is not accurate because human beings are ridiculously complicated. This is why I highly recommend reading the book, the Hoffman process. The Hoffman process so you can understand how childhood wounds and traumas affects one in adult life. Because Batman couldn't get close to anyone and a significant number of people are rather dysfunctional. Men are women alike that makes it very difficult for them to lean into a healthy, happy relationship. This is why I wrote my book, Let the Heck Is Self-Love Anyway, A Journey of Personal Development, Self-Help, and Spiritual Work. Again, the link's below. The idea is when we can actually form a healthy attachment with ourselves, we can actually attract a more viable partner in our lives and your intuition will be operating at a much higher pace than probably it currently is. And last but not least, men set the tone of the relationship. I hear this from women all the time. Men are the leaders of the relationship. And sure, why wouldn't you want to be? Why wouldn't a man want to be? Because then it's on his terms and not your terms. I'm here to say you are in charge of your destiny. You do not want to give that job to a man. This is why I continually recommend dating from the perspective of it's a two-lane street. You're both mutually getting to know one another.  How do you do that? With standards, with boundaries. And boundaries is simply saying what's OK and what's not OK for me. And standards now, oftentimes, standards have become something so ridiculously unattainable that to actually turn into the Jerry Seinfeld picky about everything. Standards are really more about the inner qualities of a person. Do they demonstrate a level of kindness? Do they demonstrate a level of compassion? Do they demonstrate a level of empathy? Are they an agreeable person? Are they a giver? Are they a receiver? Can they accept you for who you are? That's the tone you want from a man or a woman is when two people can operate as both givers and receivers. They are agreeable and they can accept one another. Then you have the makings of a healthy, happy relationship if two people are doing it simultaneously and not from the perspective that he's chasing you because that might be a short-term game for him. And I'm here to suggest the long game for you. So what's the benefit of knowing all this? Listen, it's about discernment. It's about understanding that the purpose of dating is a vetting process to decide if you want to be in relationships with someone. And the purpose of a relationship is a vetting process to decide if you want long-term. I'm here to suggest if you're going to engage in the process of dating that have a, listen, most dating coaches will tell you never have a goal. I'm here to say the exact opposite. You do have a goal. Is this person someone I want to invest in? Because ultimately, don't you want to be in a relationship of trust? And trust is, can I count on this person to care about my feelings and my best interests as much as I care about my own? Because these days, dating has just turned into a hookup sport. And I'm here to encourage more courting from a long-term perspective that actually leads to two people mating for a long period of time instead of the short run. And all my videos are designed for that. So I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Post a comment below. Share this video with your friends. Like this video, please subscribe to my channel. I'm here to encourage a more conscious, intentional way of dating instead of this apathetic way people are approaching the relationship process. And my goal is because the reason why I'm talking to women is because ladies, you have the capacity to get into our hearts. You actually do. And there are men that are thirsty for their hearts to be broken wide open. And you can actually facilitate that with just a little bit of guidance and a little bit of prodding, if you will, in a good way. I like to say you can inspire men to be better men. And that's why you're probably watching these videos because you have the capacity to do this. We weren't trained at this, but you actually can help us get there. And I learned everything I share is because I've been, I've learned everything from women, not from men. All right, I think that's enough. I think you get the gist of where I'm going. All right, I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do.  I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm asking you to turn to someone, a pet, a teddy bear pillow, and give it or them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye-bye now. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. Once again, I'm joined with my dad We are actually just south of the location when we were the location we went to last time Which was just over that way further north where we were finding the the horn coral fossils So here we're at some old mines out here. We've got one here and up over there We've got another one and what we're supposed to be able to find here according to the book that I I looked at is some old Lead ores, so like considerate or galena and who knows what else sometimes at these mines You can just find all kinds of things. So we're gonna look at some of this stuff bust into some rock Explore up there. Maybe and just see what we can find. Oh, and as always GPS coordinates All right, let's get looking Here's what the boulders look like full of calcite With a variety of colors mostly indicating iron or some other metals So yeah, they could have even been looking for gold and silver We'll go up there and see what we got Okay calcite calcite Interesting little zones. Oh, there's something on this it looks like Probably like iron oxide My dad said he's got something for me to see over here. So let's go See what he would like me to see. Oh, it's like a pocket Okay, we'll get up in there and see what they were going for maybe. Oh Calcite crystals it looks like we're some nice calcite crystals Let's get you guys in there and see Yeah, it goes back there. It was a pocket. We've got some nice terminated calcite crystals There might have been some more stuff Makes you wonder what they were pulling out for sure. Was it just calcite crystals or There's some other crystals in here some other stuff So I saw this looks like it's loose and we might have some crystals on the backside of it So I'm gonna try and pry that off Well, it looks like in these pockets you can get these little dog tooth crystals of calcite I wonder if that's what people are looking for when they're up here So you might be able to see some dog tooth sticking out. It's a little Calcite crystals. So some people maybe you're trying to get nice crystals of calcite Maybe there's more stuff here. So I've cleaned out the pocket a little bit and you can see some nice dog-tooth calcite crystals in here Poken out from the walls Over here you have some that are very white. So that's pretty cool Let me try and hold this steady for you. There you go Yeah, look at those white calcite there and then the more brownish Ones up here that one up in the top left is really nice Okay, so I've been I pulled out this pocket here and in the center. We've got this stuff Which at first you don't think it's much Except that when I hold it it feels heavier than I think it should Which makes me think there might be some considerate or something in Some of these so I'm gonna take these home and kind of look at them close up with the hand lens To see if any of it looks like something other than calcite or gypsum So yeah, maybe I've got something that came out of the center there Maybe not so I'm up in the upper pit now So just back that way and down there That's where my dad is currently in the lower pit where we parked and I just walked up here definitely not as much of the alteration and thick veins of calcite But still There's some interesting things going on here We got this It's probably just calcite, but I'm gonna bust that open and see if there's anything else Look it open And as you can see It is pretty much all calcite It's pretty But it's just calcite Here's the other side Nice view from up here. That's where we parked. That's where we're at You can see over there. That's where we were the other day when we were looking for the horn coral fossils nice After looking at these closely These are definitely Mostly calcite, but there are some metal Minerals that you get in here probably hematite And they probably were originally mining this area for gold And I'm back home So I did film out there originally, but that video kind of got corrupted and didn't work anyway So I'm closing it here. It was a neat little spot There are some cool little calcite crystals and maybe some other things probably originally mined for gold So fun little spot if you want to go out to it This video is much shorter because we didn't spend a whole lot of time out there and right now I'm really busy with other things. So We just got a kind of a shorter video today, but I hope you enjoyed it. I'll see you next time and remember there is treasure everywhere


Hello everyone, let's get started with the next session. I think we had very good introduction from Mohan on the multi-tenancy from Myself, this is Vamsi Krishnasamudrala Principal architect and enterprise architect for cloud engineering platforms for American Airlines Okay, so let's get started. How many of you had coffee this morning? Okay, so Shravan, a quick question. What do you call a part that runs on a coffee? Yeah, it's a caffeinated container So let's get started. So You can see a small logo. That's a Cape Pass. It's which is called Cubilitis platform as a service That's what is our internal branding of multi-tenancy cluster that we hosted American Airlines. So Our topic navigating the multi-tenancy maze and avoiding the anti-pattern pitfalls What we'll be discussing today. So we'll be discussing about what is a multi-tenancy maze and understanding the challenges of multi-tenancy common anti-patterns that that we go through while setting up the multi-tenancy implementations and there are some pitfalls to avoid and deep dive into anti-patterns lack of isolation scaling and something deep dive into life cycle management of clusters and inadequate resource limits if there are some inadequate resource limits how to handle those and Some successful stories what we went through in setting up multi-tenancy at American and some key takeaways and last Q&A Okay, I think Mohan had introduced this slide already in his talk This is Europe rail railways system, right? So this can be compared to a multi-tenant cluster and I'm from US I I completely Different from what we use we use cards a lot and here the rail system So when we compare to it in the context of Kubernetes, this can be compared to the rail system in Europe So just as how the Europe rail system manages effectively and standardize the movement of persons and goods between various destinations multi-tenancy in Kubernetes is that kinds of concept which enables resource utilization which enhances scalability and ensures secure operations within the cluster So this comparison when I landed in Europe. I thought okay. This is the best comparison what we can relate it to multi-tenancy So let's pause it here, right? So this is a mind map diagram of Kubernetes maze So if you see how many dimensions if you have to maintain a Kubernetes multi-tenancy cluster How many dimensions of it? So there is a There is an automation. There's troubleshooting. There's observability networking security storage and there are some miscellaneous concepts which you can see as an API gateway disaster recovery apart from control plane if you're not using cloud hosting then there's like a control plane and There's a deployment that we need to take care of whether it may be an on-prem or it may be cloud and kind of nodes And if you see how it branches out as a maze, right? So How many of you remember still Joining the maze in newspaper cuttings or somewhere just passing from one source to the destination, right? But here these branches in a maze every branch in a maze effects in every other way So we need to handle this maze properly if you don't design it properly It might affect the central whole system at all. So let's Deep dive a bit on what are some common anti-patterns that we see implementing Kubernetes Multitenancies, right? So yes, we have seen this morning mohan and talk about from Microsoft also just now We talk about network isolation. So for us We know namespace is a resource logical isolation of resources in a multi multi-tenancy cluster But if we create the namespace, are we secure are the tenancy cure? No, they can use The resource quotas next company source quotas, right? So unless until we define the resource quotas and limits for each namespace and part, we don't Think yes, they might use of the company resources. So once we set up resource quotas and limits, we think we're good That comes the default networking where any part can talk to any part inside the cluster So the network the network isolation comes into picture That is where the service measure something that we implemented, right? But again, if we implement those also, there are other Branches, which we saw DNS that DNS someone can abuse a cluster a core DNS can be one application completely taken core DNS Also can run it, right? So like this, there are multiple aspects and multiple dimensions of it of each when we deep dive into So there are three things which we listed one is a limited scalability When you design your applications for multi-tenancy when you don't estimate the growth of the clusters and when you don't Know, how are you hosting the tenants? There's always There's always it's a it's it's a anti pattern that we need to design it properly and you need to Scale you need to design for dynamic scaling rather than a static scaling. So that's one of the anti pattern And the other one is overuse of global configuration So another anti pattern that heavily relies on global configuration that limits customization of the tenants So where one action of one tenant can completely disrupt other other tenants also So this is one of other anti pattern. And the other one is hard-coded dependencies When we are not taking into account of our tenant needs. So something like a privatization rules or Localization or something like JADR or if it's a payment systems that are PCI So different kinds of tenants have different kinds of needs So we should not localize something for some tendency. So that's why we want to keep it more flexible We need to design such a way. So that is one of the common anti pattern Come back to pitfalls, right? What are some common pitfalls in? In implementing the multi-tenancy if you can see Operational complexity when we have seen those many things around For setting up the tendencies. There are a lot of complexities that we need to Design for so we need to keep in mind that we should not over complicate the Setup itself inadequate isolation whether it may be as we discussed whether the isolation may be at the logical grouping networking or anything So every layer needs to be secured ignoring security risks You need to have well like you need to have the security taken into account Babe that may be vulnerability management or whether it may be Scanning across your clusters parts runtime scans. So you should not ignore the security risks that for application Because when you're setting up for multiple tenants multiple use cases improper dependency management and Resource contention so resource contention It's like for example take it as an overbooked hotel. So a hotel can take only the from X number of Customers, but if you're overbook it You cannot accommodate it. So we need to design it properly. There's always those contentions. We need to plan ahead Lack of cost management. So when there are multiple teams on the cluster, you need to plan accordingly to charge back and show back the cost how are we Meeting the needs of the tenants and how are we showing back? They should be There should be some mechanisms to just show it things out, right? So out of this these are the common pitfalls, but there are always ways how we can address it So there are always two different blocks which we can address by these pitfalls Either it may be with the tool or it may be with the best practice, right? So you should use a right tool for the right job What we are doing it or it may be a best practice. So the best practices are not like I always discuss with Shravan, they are not like a butter that is spread on bread, right? So it needs to be grow like a garden. So it takes time, but you need to inherit this best practices into your thing into your architectures. So The tools may be using resource limits and quotas as we discussed a network policies or add-back controls HPA or Keda based on they even driven if they have an even driven things Part security policies or secrets management centralized lying and monitoring because the observability needs to be centralized It's not like each tenant needs to get something or the clusters if they have specific use cases or backlog You need to you need to specifically move it as a centralized concept where the tenants can easily adopt to Best practices again the namespace isolation dynamic environment provision You should be we should be able to provision the ephemeral clusters whenever the customer needs the our back policies again Educating the tenants what we are bringing into the clusters or into building into multi tenancies or whatever The new capabilities that we are bringing in the documentation or the API is anything that we need to educate our tenants as We are bringing in and the other thing is efficient resource utilization. So As we said see because we have my we have multiple applications sitting across whether one cluster or multiple clusters We should be able to use the resources effectively. So So these are the ways which we can avoid the pitfalls But let's deep dive into a couple of topics my my friends on will take it up Hey again, so let's look at few dimensions of multi tenacy so some of the dimensions we're going to talk about is standard workload templates and workload types and how can we isolate these applications and one of the critical pieces lifecycle management of these multi-tenant clusters and understand scaling So let's get into workload templates. So there are few ways we can address workload templates For example, we can have operators either we can build custom operators that can like we create our own CRDs and then that can create Kubernetes resources as per our need or we can develop hand charts Or else we can use Customize so that you can deploy the same workload across different environments we will dig deep into operators into neck and demo into the next slides later and Workload types so as we build templates, we can also incorporate workload types like Some of the workload can be memory optimized or some of the workloads can be CPU intensive, right? So as we build templates, we can incorporate these workload types into the template so that you have a standardized Templates available for end users to use. So for example, we can use PCI or PIA compliant which has more network needs and In a multi-tenant environment isolation is going to be a critical piece as Most of us were talking in previous talks also. There is a network isolation and there is a resource isolation So let's take a resource isolation. So as we host multiple workloads in the same cluster The isolation with its namespace level can be achieved using Resource quotas. So this way if a single application cannot take entire resources So as for example, if there is if a namespace is taking 2 gig or 2 gig memory We can we can limit it to 2 gig only so that all the resources are not taking all of the Memory is not allocated to the same namespaces and the deployment level also we can put quotas for CPU and memory. For example, we can put limits for CPU and memory so that all the Deployment levels are not taking all the resources and that the network layer we can set Network policies or if you are using any service mesh we can use traffic permissions and and and the next thing is life-cycle management. So in a shared infrastructure Life-cycle management would be a critical piece. So some of the aspects of life-cycle management would be Automate wherever possible and test it in pre-prod environments before you send it before you implement it in production and you have backup and Recovery strategy and you make sure you have observability and monitoring and you document as you build these strategies So I'll just spend few minutes here. This is an example of a platform. We built at American Airlines For example in this picture here the developers come to Intel and development portal called runway which is based of backstage and Here they can create a namespace In a specific cluster and that namespace has quotas and RBACs assigned to it Once the namespace is created we have templates and Waclo types They can choose a template and once they choose a template We will create a GitHub repo for them and in the GitHub repo We will have some custom CRDs deployed in it based on the user specifications And then once the custom CRD is there the Argo series is going to take that Manifest files and deploy into the cluster and on the cluster We have operator that you know converts that custom CRD into all Kubernetes resources. So let's Let's look at a quick demo On how we can do this So here I am I'm creating Application or into the cluster deploying an application into the cluster here. You could see this is a custom resource definition So this custom resource definition has a standard templates in the background So users don't have to really worry about you know defining all Kubernetes specs So for example here, they are just specifying the image name the port they want to expose and the artist telling policy how many parts they want so I'm going to create a namespace where this custom resource definition is going to be deployed The CRD we call it as a web app So I'm creating the namespace here and then I'm going to deploy the custom resource definition here So operator is one actually watching for that CRD that is deployed on this cluster and once you could see that The resources are created in the background this custom CRD is going to create all Kubernetes specific resources with the standard templates and Then we can also manage the life cycle management, right? So for example if a user want to change the resource quotas or deployment quotas We can expose this using the CRD or else if we want to delete these resources You can still manage deleting these resources using these operators so we Repeat this process for hundreds of applications. So To make this happen to build this platform we have About 15 plus components deployed on our Kubernetes cluster for example some components are related to observability like dynamic rays mismos Fluent bit and there are components like velarov which is for backup and recovery strategy and there are components for our back Like at your cloud ability Or sorry for cost management up to your cloud ability or else like secrets management has you got vault and continuous deployment or go CD so we as I said we Repeat this process for hundreds of applications and we have fleet of clusters with is set up to Support this platform. So standardizing these clusters and you know life cycle management could be a critical piece So for this to simplify the process we we extensively used Argos CD application sets Where a single Argos CD application set would deploy all these 15 components on all of our clusters So we manage all the manifest files for these individual components in a github repo And then we use a target revision version for each of these component and update the Argos CD application So that all these components are easily deployed across all our clusters And another consideration in multi-tenant is scaling So as you know when we create a multi-tenant cluster The dynamic scaling is so important for us. So some of the considerations we usually take into Scaling is like network plug-in selection and pod-seller selection or else IP allocated to your cluster or else automated policy and monitoring them So for example, we use a case cluster we started using a cubenet plug-in, which is a default Azure Kubernetes plug-in. So we identified that number of nodes that this Plug-in can choose is only 400 So we moved to Azure CNI where the number of nodes can scale to more than 400 nodes And then part-seller considerations. So some of the network plugins need to need needed a part-seller So if we choose a small part-seller that would translate to few number of nodes in the same way cluster subnet assigned to the node as well Choosing the correct cider would make you should make sure that we have enough nodes available when scaling needs are there Once we enable scaling, we'll still have to monitor make sure the scaling is appropriate So on our Kubernetes clusters in Azure AKS we use auto scaling so We enable auto scaling and few few of the applications have the wrong configurations where we end up Having more nodes for example a long configuration end up having about 20 nodes on a Over-feet of our clusters which cost it which costs around $10,000 per month to avoid this We have to monitor and make sure the scaling is appropriate and address those needs and then This is a quick poll if you guys can scan there is there are a few questions you guys wanted to Let's let's take this this quick poll. We need your help. So let's get to this poll and see some answer some questions so Yeah, let's see how many of You guys are using Okay, so Yeah, so I think everybody answered this question. So let's skip to the next one. So let's see this one if yeah What is your preferred method of updating equipment is cluster because we have gone through the life cycle management So you have seen because we have gone through this cycle of either spinning up a net new cluster or putting your workloads completely taking back up with LRO and putting it to the net new clusters and Building up a new cluster Preparing as we thought we are preparing for a DR and we would do it for every other upgrades but when your cluster grows It's it's a tedious job because now the cluster has grown outgrown that Doing that to a net new clusters are keeping up with an alternative pattern Maybe with our go CDR acuity or keeping your application deployments like that So we just want to see at the pulse of how your communities upgrades are like spinning up a net new cluster or the in place upgrades What is working better for you in places winning in places winning? Okay, so let's go to the next question strong So how frequently do you upgrade? Is it as soon as a net new version releases from fibrinitis you upgrade or with n-2 or minus one that maybe a quarterly half-yearly annually or I see some of us don't upgrade the clusters. So this is one of the pitfall and add a pattern So we need to keep up with at least in minus two Questions, I'll we have some more topics. So I'll take the Q&A and this is the last question So what is your preferred method of testing? Upgrades before applying them to the production. Okay, so it's other I don't know what what goes into other but yeah, so let's see That's winning. So this keep me curious to understand to understand why what's what's the other method that you guys are using it. So But yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot for taking the poor That was very helpful for us to understand how the trend is So let's get to our successful implementation and our success stories at a right So where we have started. So we have started the qubit is generally like any other tenant Like five or six years before we have started with on-prem clusters and later move into cloud as a cloud first strategy And then with AKS completely we host the clusters But what we have seen with the trend of multi-tenancy is we have grown our multi-tenancy Applications at a very rapid pace from class one and a half year. So it's almost like one less than one one and a half year When we sat at the multi-tenancy, there was a lot of Individual clusters with the dedicated clusters. It is for the small application Wasting the resources because when you are spinning up a cluster, you need to spin up your system components node pools for system components and a note pool for your app workloads. So You can see here, right? So we did avoid spinning up the dedicated clusters like a mushroom clusters, which are very repeatable workloads or the standardized templates Which we can build up through front-end We are now hosting. This is the last week's data We are now hosting around with the four clusters with east and west as the DR regions and with prod and non-prod across four clusters We are hosting around 659 namespaces 1736 deployments. So This is a huge achievement for us where where we started from one and one half year So that because the cloud migration which we are pulling it through this this has been possible and there's other Story as we said we should not ignore what the customer needs are right so the PCI So this is another there's a payment card industry There are some adhered rules that we need to because AKS by default is a public and we need to build a private connection clusters With that when we open it up for a multi-tenancy we got more Customers onto it. One is a payment services and reference application. I don't know how many of you flew American Airlines to come in I don't know what let's see how many of you flew in American Airlines No one. Yeah Okay, so but so the refunds application whenever you have an issue So those kind of when you call in those refunds and those kind of applications are still They're running on Kubernetes So what we did for the teams that are running those applications are the time to market because when the teams wanted to build their Own clusters with their private private networking and the security and other things Observability that we need to build across it takes about three to four months to completely work with all the teams But with our multi-tenancy clusters, they were go. They were about to go live in one to two weeks so that was a huge achievement and For the application teams that we are building through with different kinds of workloads that we are as trouble mentioned previously Different kind of workloads, but different kinds of clusters it reduced complexity it for the compliance management It was easy for the audits and it has enhanced observability, which they did not work on So there are some three conclusion conclusion and key takeaways for the day. So always embrace the best practices While navigating the multi-tenancy means that we saw in the first couple of slides, right? So there's a lot of Lot of things that we need to take care So we need to always embrace the best practices for monitoring, securing and managing the resources. There's continuous optimization because optimization is a process When the tenants come through it the bin packing or when you're giving the namespaces or the quarters and everything So there's always a optimization that is needed on the clusters and we have multiple sessions coming up how we did with the granulate and how we reset our platforms for an optimization across watch out for those sessions and stay vigilant against the pitfalls So what are the pitfalls that we have mentioned it stay vigilant against it for all the developers administrators and architects There's always a potential challenges. We need to stay ahead of the curve That's it. So now we are accepting all the queries confusions and Kubernetes confessions There's small help. I think there's only one guy. So if you can raise your hand so that they can he can come to you Yeah, only one person so that one or two questions maybe Wow The responsibility um, I was curious about your release pipeline is you kind of Showed that you're using gate ops. You have um Basically staggering by regions. How many how many clusters are you targeting for any step? Because like avoiding a big bang rollout is part of this human this release So so all of all of our clusters are Same so we deploy the same version across all clusters for example if you are upgrading a component like Grafara cloud right the agent really is there is a new version So the manifest files we update the new image or any configuration changes and then use the same manifest files and create a Target release and use the target release version across all the august ad applications So all of our clusters are same versions. Oh We are about 30 clusters 30 30 30 clusters around it. Thank you Thank you all. Thanks

That to say with internal profit fantasy sort of profits that they make. The key, one of the key errors I think of the last 20 years was quite different from deregulating markets is that all social institutions have to be restructured as markets. That means an incredible hollowing out of ethos. I was lucky enough to go to a traditional institution in which that had not yet happened. A traditional grammar school in Britain followed by a traditional Oxford College. Not from a background where my family could afford that. But even if issues of access which have gotten worse with the increasing inequality of recent times were resolved, what you would go to, all these institutions have been to some extent deformed. Not to say that there were no problems, there were all kinds of problems, there were opaque, there were various difficulties of many, many kinds. One didn't have any nostalgic view of them. But the key element which is lost is the idea of institutions with their own ethos and with having a non-market ethos. And that I think in education would include, as in a critical element, the inculcation of sceptical thinking, the inculcation of a disciplined sort of thinking in which the fact that you want something or hope for it is not by itself a reason for thinking that it will and can happen.


I reviewed the original Mitek Liberty DAC mid-2018 and liked it. Now there is a successor and it has been upgraded drastically. The original Liberty DAC was essentially a Brooklynon budget. No analog input, no display, only single ended headphones output and simpler electronics. The Brooklynness end of life, the Brooklyn Bridge 2 Rune isn't but that has a Rune core on board and costs more than 4 grand. Interesting surely but a less direct relation to the Liberty DAC 2 on review here. But let's first see where to place the Liberty DAC 2 in the stereo. The Liberty DAC 2 is to be connected to an amplifier using analog interlinks via either balanced outputs on XLR or single ended outputs on RCA. The amp needs to be connected to a pair of loudspeakers unless you use headphones of course. If you want to play music directly from your desktop or laptop computer, it can be connected to the Liberty DAC over either USB, SPDIF or Toslink, depending on the available connections on the computer. If you are in for higher quality, you should use a network player that is connected over a network to your computer or NAS, that now can be placed elsewhere in the house. Choosing what music to play is usually done on a smartphone or tablet. If you want to know more about how network audio works, see my video on how network audio players work. Since the Liberty DAC 2 has 5 digital inputs, you can also connect other digital sources like a CD player, a game console or a TV. In goodbye tech tradition, the Liberty DAC 2 has a sturdy metal housing with a black anodized aluminium front panel. It is only 140mm wide, 225mm deep and 44mm tall and weighs 2kg. On the front left the 6.3mm headphone jack with next to it the input selector that doubles as a power button when pressed longer. Short presses let you select one of the five inputs indicated by LEDs. The bit depth, MQA and sampling rate are also indicated by LEDs. On the right the volume control with around it a circle of LEDs that indicate the volume setting. The rear is rather crowded with on the left the IEC mains input, SPIDF 1, SPIDF 2, TOSLINK, USB audio class 2 and AES-EBU digital inputs. The balanced analog outputs are now on XLRs and not on TRS jacks as on the first version. The single ended analog outputs are on gold-plated RCA's. Here we find the clearest differences with the first incarnation of the Liberty DAC. For now it has a linear power supply that even switches to the grid voltage present as long as it is between 100 and 240V AC. This small transformer probably is powering this circuit. The large toroidal transformer has four secondary windings, two deliver six volts for the digital circuit and two 15 volts for the analog audio. The AC low voltages from the transformer are converted here to DC and buffered by a total of 48000 microfarad capacitance. There are several local voltage regulators, even the headphone amp and line outputs have their own. These are clamped against the left side wall by a brass bar, so using the cabinet to dissipate the heat. This part of the PCB holds the digital input and processing circuits with a Burr Brown digital interface and an exiling processor that does the MQA processing. The conversion is done by the ESS9038 Q2M chip, the light version of the 9038 Pro that is used in the Brooklyn Bridge. To fit the headphone output, this Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 chip is used that according to the datasheet can deliver one volt at 16 ohm load. The current to voltage conversion and the output buffers for the line outputs are located here. And let's end with a short comparison between the Liberty DAC 2 and the previous edition. On the left version 2 with a linear power supply and on the right the first incarnation with a switch mode power supply. The circuit board of the two also looks a lot more crowded. By the way the DC power input on the old model didn't return on the Liberty DAC 2 since it already has a better power supply abort. Using the Liberty DAC is very simple. Select your digital source or sources to the inputs on the rear. Keep the input button pressed for a longer time until you hear a click. Wait till the LED stops flashing and select the input you want to choose by pressing the input selector until the LED next to the input leads. The Liberty DAC 2 comes with an Apple remote control that lets you choose the input. Set the volume and the mute. The original Liberty DAC had no remote control. Likewise the Liberty DAC 2 has its place in my reference setup 2A. Watch my videos on the reference setups I published two weeks ago. The single ended analog outputs were connected to the Marantz k-outperl light that drives the acoustic energy radiance 1 loudspeakers and the RLT-5 subwoofer that is also connected to the loudspeaker terminals. The digital source was the LO-USB signature, powered by the LO-Shanty and running Roopy Roon Endpoint software. A normal CAT 6 patch cable connects the USB signature to the upturn audio ether region switch. The Roon Core runs on the Grimm Audio Mew one in my setup 1 downstairs. The Liberty DAC 2 is a clear upgrade from the original Liberty DAC. This is where the original Liberty DAC was already a good sounding product. The sound of the Liberty DAC 2 is more relaxed, has a cleaner mids and highs, has a better sibilance control. The spatial information remains better intact and there is more focus. It is closer to the original Brooklyn and therefore I scale it in the lower part of my setup 1B. Make sure you use a proper digital source, there is much to gain from a good streamer or network bridge instead of a computer, or worse a laptop. The Mitek Liberty DAC 2 retails for €1500 including 21% VAT in Europe or $1500 excluding sales tax in the US. That's 50% more than the original Liberty but as I have shown you, it is a largely different beast and many first gen Liberty owners spent €350 to €500 on a linear power supply at purchase or added it later on. In that light there isn't a great difference in price with the new one. It has every popular interface for input safe I2S and does PCM to 384 kW, DSD256 and is MQA certified. The higher sampling rates need the USB input by the way. In short, the Mitek Liberty DAC 2 offers a lot for the money. And that brings us to the end of this video.

Good morning, your Excellency Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, Frau Bundespräsidentin Doris Leuthardt, dear guests, it's a great pleasure to start the annual meeting 2017 with this official opening session. And I would like first to introduce Doris Leuthardt, who is the President of the Swiss Confederation and the Federal Councilor of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications of Switzerland. I also would like to welcome all your colleagues, Mrs. President, here in the room of the Swiss Government, and I would like to use this opportunity to thank you, the Swiss Government, the Government of our host canton, Frau Bünden, and of course, the Administration and Government of our host city, Davos, I would like to thank some all very cordially for the great hospitality which we always find in this marvelous mountain town. Madam President, as you said in your New Year's address, despite all the complex challenges that the world faces, Switzerland remains a stable rock in turbulent waters. It is built, as highlighted also in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report, on an innovative economy and on a society where the notion of solidarity is still very well anchored. You also mentioned that you make progress in these turbulent times, requires patience, perseverance and self-confidence, and that to maintain cohesion in our societies calls for greater mutual listening and understanding. In short, it calls for dialogue. And this is exactly what the Forum stands for. And this is also the reason why Switzerland, Frau Bünden and Davos is the ideal place to provide hospitality to so many dignitaries. Madam President, the floor is yours. Professor Schwab, Mr. President Xi Jinping, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr. President, I warmly welcome you to Switzerland and to Davos for this year's annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. Professor Schwab, it is a honour for Switzerland every year to be the host country year after year for the web annual meeting, because this offers a stage for world leaders in business and politics to exchange views and, if all goes well, work to beg together toward the greater good of the world. The past year has shown us that the world is undergoing a period of fundamental change. Extremism, violence and conflict draw ever closer to regions previously regarded as safe. The European Union, stable for so long, now has its work cut out. In many regions of the world, nationalism and protectionism are gaining the upper hand. I observe these developments with concern, for they challenge the cohesion of international community and make multilateral relations more difficult, both in economic and political terms. Each one of these problems is not difficult to solve on its own level, but collectively they lead us to a situation where the world is consistently being perceived as becoming a more fragile structure, insecurity is spreading, people are looking for some kind of safe harbor in small scale structures and the future is bringing new challenges. The economic environment is changing, the concatenation of indebtedness, low levels of interest rate and a weakening of central banks is a new and explosive phenomenon. In many countries this combination has reached a very threatening level and it's going to become difficult to carry out the necessary investments to guarantee stability and also to set a basis for growth and prosperity. Because of climate change, ecology is becoming more and more important. The Paris Agreement has come into effect and this is set to the stage for a reasonable energy, climate and environmental policy. China is on track and therefore it is a good model for other countries. But how will the different countries commit to these goals when it comes to implementation, particularly the United States of America? Ladies and gentlemen, education policy is a key for the future. More than 200 million people are without work worldwide. 70 million of these are under the age of 25 years. This leads to a lot of feelings of hopelessness and frustration. But if the young generation is to be able to develop prospects of the future, we've got to invest in initial and further training. The rich are becoming richer. More than 500 million people are deemed to be rich. In the newly industrialized countries, a middle class has developed. But on the southern ridges of the Eurozone and the United States, we see that the middle class is getting poorer and more than 1.2 billion people worldwide are living on less than $1.25 a day. We've got to find strategies so that the sharp divide between rich and poor doesn't get larger and so that we don't see increasing strain being placed on social peace. We're familiar with all these problems, but we haven't found any solutions to them. But what is new is that the digitization process has triggered a fourth industrial revolution. And this is putting the world on a completely new foundation. But we've got to make sure that we don't lead to the development of a new category of winners and losers and lead to which takes advantage and a lot of disadvantaged people who feel that they are the losers that will not take us further forward. Digitization must be democratized. Just as knowledge was democratized when the printing press was first invented. At times of fundamental change, having something to orient ourselves by is important. We need beacons which show us the direction in which we should be moving. Which gives us security and stability or put in other terms, we need to have responsive and responsible leadership leadership with the ability to draw the right conclusions and to take good and responsible decisions. Leadership in order to ensure that these are decisions can be implemented credibly and to involve the population leadership so that we can forge cooperation and alliances in a constructive and multinational manner. And to achieve this, we've also got to rid ourselves of the idea that there is a global solution to all these problems. Although we all live on the same planet, there are a lot of people who live in different worlds and those worlds are often opposite to one another.  However, there are many different solutions. At the national level, Switzerland has succeeded, of course, in a very small space and over its long history to get different cultures, languages and minorities to cohabitate, to cohabit peacefully. At the world level, process that has been implemented with the Paris Agreement on climate has shown that the solutions do exist, an international agreement to which 195 states have signed up, an agreement which takes into account the socioeconomic situation of different countries and which gives them the necessary margin for maneuver in order to allow them to find an adequate solution. An agreement whose watchword is responsibility is at the global level but the implementation has to take place at the national level. The world of tomorrow will make less of a distinction between industrialised countries and developing countries and will make less of a distinction between elite and people. We are all the people. We are all members of this world. And that is why we've got to understand that we're not there just to direct things, but to cooperate in a responsible manner. The Paris Agreement could become a model in this field. And we believe that Davos can contribute to initiating and forging a new way of thinking. I hope that you will have an excellent WEF 2017 and a lot of fruitful discussions.
