What's up you guys it's Adana welcome back to my channel so I wanted to talk to you guys today about your science GPA slash overall GPA and getting into PA school because I've been getting a lot of questions about you know can I get into PA school with this particular GPA and it's usually below like a 2.0 it's like 1.8 1.7 sometimes it's a 2.0 but um I wanted to sit down and like just do a video for you all and talk to you about that um to help you along this journey so if you are in that boat you are you have a GPA that is like below a 2.75 and you're trying to get into PA school this video is for you let's get into the video right now all right what's up you guys first and foremost I want to say happy father's day to all my fathers out there all the dads um my dad and my husband who are great fathers I just want to say happy father's day we love you we appreciate you um but let's get into the video about GPA okay and if you have a father or you know if your father's in your life go ahead and say happy father's day to your father today but yes let's get to the video on GPA so with respect to the GPA I keep getting asked these questions you know in PA school you have to have um well to get into PA school you need to have both a science GPA and um an overall GPA typically the the average that most people go for is above or at minimum out of 3.0 now obviously like I said PA school is pretty competitive so a lot of people are coming into PA school but GPA is at like 3.8 3.7 4.0s even um you know trying to apply and get into PA school so it's very competitive so having a 3.0 um isn't impossible to get into PA school but it's pretty difficult um and I've been getting asked questions about like oh I have like a 2.5 I have a 2.25 like can I get into PA school um and when they're talking about 2.5 and 2.25 the the GPA that they're talking about is their overall GPA okay now your overall GPA is like a accumulation of all of the classes that you've taken but PA school also takes into consideration your science GPA which is literally just your science courses that you've taken um and some schools calculate your science and math GPA on their own apart from CASPA and so that's also something that you have to keep in mind so can you get into PA school with a 2.5 a 2.2 um a 1.8 the GPA uh let me just say anything below a 2 can you get into PA school the answer is no I mean I really want to be like honest and open with you guys because I'm not trying to like feed into this narrative of like oh I've gotten into PA school with a low GPA and yes that is something that people have done they've gotten into PA school with a low GPA but low GPA is relative what is a low GPA um um for some people it's anything lower than a 3.0 for others uh you know like my friend that I did a video on and I'll link that video for you guys her GPA was lower than a 2.0 it was like a 1.8 or something along those lines but that was her undergraduate GPA and I want to make that distinction that a lot of these people who are saying like hey I've gotten into PA school with a low GPA we have to make the distinction that this is undergrad GPA and therefore they've worked very hard post grad to now bring that GPA up to a point where they're able to be eligible to get into PA school I don't know if you guys have heard like that thing where it's like a not eligible well you know what like with a GPA below a 3.0 you are not eligible to get into a lot of these PA programs there are some PA programs that don't have a GPA requirement that say that their GPA requirement is 2.5 or 2.75 but guess what the people that are applying to those schools are still the ones applying to the schools that have a 3.0 GPA and their GPAs are still 3.75 3.85 so you're competing against the masses that have GPAs above a 3.0 and so therefore you're like 1.7 you're 2.5 you're 2.75 doesn't look as good so there are things that you have to do to ensure that you are competitive and able to get in with your low GPA of like 1.8 for your undergraduate GPA and that is getting your ducks in a row in terms of if you're going to do a post back and making sure that you're doing like amazingly in this post back or looking at schools that just just allow or take into consideration the last 60 or the last 100 credits now if that is a school that is if there are schools that are doing that and you know in your last 60 or 100 credits you have like a GPA that is a 3.3 or 3.5 or even a 4.0 you like did really bad your first couple years of undergrad and then your last two years like most of us do you picked it up because you realize like I'm now in college and I need to get my act together and I have to figure out like what I'm doing with my life then those are the schools that you apply to you have to be very strategic when applying to PA school if you have a low undergraduate GPA and so I just wanted to make that distinction for you and point that out and I guess maybe next week or later on I can give you some tips and tricks on how to get into PA school with a low GPA in terms of some of those things where it's like applying to schools that have a lower GPA requirement or no GPA requirement at all or they only look at the last 60 to 100 credits okay so if you're interested in that come back to that video again there are many resources out there for you with respect to like getting your anatomy and physiology grade up like rush review has that you know getting your chemistry grade up I did like a chemistry course when I was just studying for like my GRE there are resources out there for you okay so you're just going to have to look for it um and figure out what works best for you in your lifestyle but the answer is like across the board no you're not getting in with that low GPA um as your final GPA okay it cannot be like you cannot be trying to get into PA school with a 1.8 GPA it's not going to happen and it really isn't okay it has to be like in conjunction with another GPA in conjunction with like other things and so we'll talk about that a little bit more next week um so if you're interested and you're you want to get into PA school you have a low undergraduate GPA come back next week if you guys have any other questions for me based on this video drop them in the comment section below um if you like this video go ahead and like the video um please subscribe follow me on instagram I know it wasn't necessarily what some of you guys wanted to hear but I want to be real so that you guys can actually take a very like broad picture and assessment of what you're going to need to do to um be competitive to get into PA school okay thank you guys so much for watching I will talk to you guys next time


chat videos so much where I can just kind of catch you up on what's going on on the channel in my personal life a little bit and we can just have a little bit more of like a relaxed conversation. I know this one's going up a little bit late but I just feel like I've had so many like set in stone things that I needed to get on the channel on a certain day and nothing allowed for the chat video to go live until now. So here we are but I have some notes here. So let's chat first about like channel updates and things going on there. I want to remind everyone that I am doing weekly Zoom calls with some of the Hemsiders. You guys it is so much fun every single Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. We have this Zoom call where threads and scissor level Hemsiders can join and bring me all of their sewing questions, anything that they need to know about fit, anything they want to know about fabric, like is this fabric good for this pattern? What would you recommend for this or that? And so we just answer the questions, chat. Sometimes the conversation goes way off topic. I love talking about other things but it really is such a good time. So if you're wanting some more like one-on-one or at least small group type setting to get some of your sewing questions answered, highly recommend you becoming an Hemsider and joining us for those Zoom calls. I have also picked the pattern for the second quarter sew along. It's going to go live in May and we're going to be making a butteric little shirt dress. Super cute. So if you want additional help with that, the Hemsiders Weekly Zoom is also a great, great place to do that. I still have all of those digital downloads on the website, the Fast Fit Workbook. You guys a ton of you downloaded that. It was free for the month of March and I am so, so happy to see that so many of you were able to get your hands on it and I hope that you're using it. I would love, love, love to know if you're using it, how it helped and if you guys can give me any feedback on it at all, that would be great. I'm also selling like a consultation type of thing that goes along with the Fast Fit Workbook. If your questions are specifically about fit, I did one a couple of days ago helping someone fit kind of like a blousy type of Big Four pattern. I can't remember, but we go through the Fast Fit Workbook together kind of explaining not only like how to get through the steps of the workbook, but also like my thinking and how I arrive to making certain fit decisions, certain pattern alterations. What I look for and what I see, you know, like how I'm able to figure out, oh, maybe this needs a tweak or maybe that needs a tweak and then you go off on your own, make your muslin and hopefully have a, you know, much better fitting garment. So if you want some one-on-one help with fit, that is the way to go, also on the website. All right, so what I bought, you guys saw a lot of what I've been buying because I've been doing these hauls. Joanne has had so many of these pattern sales, so I've come back and done like a little pattern and fabric haul. I've got another one coming up here shortly when I went shopping for the 99 cent quick sew and simplicity maybe. Yeah, I got some patterns and fabric during that sale period, so I have not yet another haul video coming. I'm telling you, if they keep those sales going, I'm going to have to seriously reevaluate my pattern stash. Other than that, I ended up buying some patterns for the Stylemaker Fabrics Spring Style Tour. I got the Fulton Sweater Blazer, I got the Rad Patterns Seaside Coolots, which I am obsessed with. I already made my second pair. I can't tell you guys how much I love it. I have a third pair ready to go to be cut out. It comes together so quick. They're super cute, super flattering, so easy to wear. I just cannot tell you enough about that pattern. I love it so, so, so much. I didn't get, I don't think I got anything else. The only fabric I got was from the Joanne haul that you saw and then the one coming up and then those couple of patterns. That was really all I bought. I started that series about, as seen on Instagram, and we did the first one with that bias binder point that was a total fail. I ended up getting another product in to test for that. I'm excited about it. I am always excited about it, though, till I use them. I'm going to do those once a month, so try and space them out a little bit. I think the one for April is a little vacuum that I got to vacuum out all of the debris in the sewing machines, so I'll show you kind of how that works next week, maybe the week after that. Oh, which reminds me. My It's So Easy TV presentations are going to be on TV. It's finally here. I am season 21, episode 3 and episode 6. They air here on PBS at like 3.30 on Friday afternoons, and then they re-air them Saturday mornings at 8am, so you'll have to check your local listings. But season 21, episode 3 and episode 6 are going to be my It's So Easy, my TV debut.  Okay, I know that's not what I bought, but that should have gone earlier. All right, rapid fire, what I'm watching. Okay, so I binge watched Girls, HBO's show Girls with Lena Dunham, and oh, I can't remember that girl that was in the flight attendant. I can't remember her real name. A bunch of really great people were in an Adam Driver, and I just, I really enjoyed it. The episodes are like 30 minutes long, so you know, burn through them really, really quickly. I think that if I had seen that show when I was in my mid-20s, in my early to mid-20s, it would have helped me. It would have helped me a lot, kind of navigate all of the like crazy feelings I was having. As a someone in their late 30s, you know, I was kind of looking back on it like I could relate back then. Not super relatable now, but I thought the music of the show was really great. I thought the acting was really wonderful. And I think that the topics and like the way that they addressed like misogyny, you know, body issues, you know, a lot of this kind of stuff, new jobs, relationships, healthy relationships, I think all that kind of stuff was still very relevant. And so I really, really enjoyed that. So I'm back on the struggle bus trying to find something else to watch. So in the meantime, I have been loving this podcast. It is called Ringer Dish. And Ringer Dish is like E Network. It's like a network. And then within it, they have all these different series. So this particular series, and hear me out here, this particular series goes through each episode, goes through each of Taylor Swift's albums. I know that not everybody is a Taylor Swift fan. That's fine. This particular podcast doesn't, I mean, yes, it's about Taylor. Yes, it's about her personal life. Yes, it's about, you know, a little bit about who the songs are about and stuff. But it is also very much a lot about what was going on in society then, and how that might have impacted her music, what she was going through, not necessarily personally in relationships, but what she was going through as a musician and as a business person and as a brand, and how that might have influenced her music. It talks a lot about the music industry. It talks a lot about, you know, touring and, you know, going to the radio stations and just everything that goes into creating like a mega superstar like Taylor Swift, you know, obviously they talk about their favorite songs and what worked on the albums and what didn't work on the albums, but it was really, truly fascinating to take a look at somebody's body of work, one album at a time, and kind of understand, especially retrospectively, you know, looking back on a lot of them. Some of them are like 13 years old, so looking back on them and just understanding where she was and what she was going through and everything else outside of personal relationships was really fascinating. The hosts are, one is like an entertainment reporter and another one is like, he was the former CEO of Ticketmaster. He also worked for Twitter, so he understands the music industry in a very specific way. He also is a musician and so hears things in her songs that I would never have heard. Here's how they sound like other songs. Here's how the song was like mastered, not mastered, but produced. Very, very interesting.  It was really, really good. I also finished the wedding date, which is in a series and the Jasmine Guillory, I think is how you say her name, wrote the wedding date and I found out that she had written the first half of the wedding date as part of a college project. It was like an assignment. I don't remember where she went to school, but she had written the first half of it then, graduated, finished the book and actually got it published and then was able to create all of these sequels. So I finished that and I was like, okay, it was okay. It was pretty, I don't know if in some genres of fiction now, if like the sex stuff is like, I mean, after Fifty Shades of Grey and that took off and that was so big, did that become like necessary to be like every 30 minutes? There was some major, major sex scene going into like super, super detailed and I'm like, I don't really get how this is adding to the story. I don't feel like it's adding to the characters. It just feels like a gimmick at this point. So that was a bit discouraging. I didn't really like that part. I obviously couldn't listen to it in the car because every time I go to a stoplight and there's like moaning and groaning, people would be like, what in the world is she listening to? But I did download the next in the series, which is called The Proposal and I was really interested, or it was really interesting to see that the proposal has different main characters than the wedding date. I just assumed the wedding date people were going to get engaged and that's what we were talking about with the proposal, but no, they're related in a way, but not the same people. So I was like, well, that's a cool take because then you get all new characters and you get to know people, but yet there is this tie and you're like kind of familiar with the with the one of the main characters because he played a supporting role in the first book, you know what I mean? So it kind of develops that way, which I thought was a cool idea. Also, probably half the sex scenes in this one than the first one. Maybe she just got out of her system. I don't even know, but there was like a time. My latest obsession, well, I guess it's probably the Taylor Swift stuff.  I've been listening to her music nonstop, listening to those podcasts and just in full Swifty mode. It's in full Swifty mode. I have loved her for so long. If you guys don't know, I've been a Swifty, gosh, since since Speak Now, maybe a little bit before that. So since her third album, maybe the tail end of her second album. And it's just so exciting to see what she's doing with that album and releasing songs from the vault is so fun because she's evolved so much as a woman and as a musician.  And being like, Oh God, I was so dramatic about that. But people can relate to it now. It's definitely very much something that I think girls go through the feelings that she expresses in these vault songs.  I'm going to have a Taylor Swift YouTube channel, honestly, but I know I got time for that. Okay, so Oh, I also wanted to remind you guys, I don't have it here with me, but I am still working on my cross stitch slowly, but surely we're making progress there. Still having a lot of fun with that. So I'm not necessarily obsessed with it still, but I'm definitely still working on it too. So a little update there. And then what I'm trying.  Or if it's trying different silhouettes, you know, the silhouette for the Stalmaker spring tour outfit with the crop top over the Kulots, isn't necessarily something I would have picked up even a couple of years ago. I would have been like, I don't really know about that. But you know, I enjoyed kind of thinking outside the box a little bit with that outfit. And of course I love the result. I mean, that outfit is hands down one of my favorites that I've ever, ever, ever made like as an outfit. So I think just like, I don't know if it's like a result of like coming, coming out of the pandemic slowly, but surely, but coming out of the pandemic, things kind of starting to go back to normal, plus the idea of spring and everything kind of renewing and being bright and fresh again. Maybe that is kind of like opening up my creativity a little bit more. And I'm not letting my abilities control whether I should try something or not. I'm just trying, accepting the fact that I may fail, accepting the fact that I may look terrible, trying new things and just seeing what sticks. And thankfully so far, I haven't had too many things not work out, knock on wood. I had a very successful march in the sewing room, especially considering how many things I was experimenting with. So I'm pretty happy about that. All right, what to expect in April. So I touched on this before, well, it doesn't really apply to April. That's more May, but I will be working on the, the sew along, you will have a video in April that will talk to you about the pattern fabric choices and all that kind of stuff that like I call it like episode zero of the sew along, because it's not really sewing, but it is important to know what else. No classes in April. I do have another skill pop class on the schedule for May. So if you have anybody out there that wants to learn how to use a sewing machine, if you want to have a new sewing buddy, send them to skill pop. And that is where they can sign up and learn everything about like how to plug it in, how to wind the bobbin, how to change the needle, what are presser feet, of course, how to thread it, and then we'll even practice some sewing as well. We did this earlier in March and it was just so fun to see everybody so focused. And you know, for us, like using a sewing machine now is just like mindless. I don't even think about it, but to have to like break down the steps and seeing people like, you know, really, really focused in on what you're doing and kind of nervous to like, I don't want to break it. You know what I mean? It was really cute to kind of go back to whenever I was going through those feelings. That was a lot of fun also. So because I don't have like a ton of like work obligations, I guess we can call it that. Hopefully I'm going to get a lot of really great fun sewing done. So I'm super excited about that. And with that, that takes us through our little checklist of the Let's Chat video. I would love, I love it whenever you guys do the quick fire questions, what you are watching, what you're reading, your latest obsession and anything new that you're trying. If you want to leave those in the comment section below, I truly, truly love reading all of those. So that is going to do it for me today, y'all. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you very soon. Bye.


Okay, we're back here live inside theCUBE's Silicon Angle.com's flagship telecast. We go out to the events to extract a signal from the noise. This is our exclusive coverage of OpenStack Summit in Portland, Oregon. I'm John Furrier with Jeff Frick, my co-host today. And our guest is Jeff O'Neill from NetApp. You guys have some news here, breaking news here on theCUBE. It's fantastic. So let's jump in, you guys, and brought some code to the table. This is OpenStack Summit where all the top developers and big companies and emerging startups are coming together to build the foundation and tool, the tool chest for the cloud builders. So let's talk about your news real quick. So you guys announced some things to share us with the news. Okay, so we announced both the blueprint and prototype code to bring file shares, a file share service capability to OpenStack. That's, we've put that out and we want to really start the conversation about file shares. One of the things that we find very interesting about this is that if you look at OpenStack and its future role as the infrastructure to service platform going forward, that it's going to have to communicate with all different types of storage systems. And file shares is an open gap. There's a fun fact, right? 18 exabytes out of the 27 exabytes of total disk capacity that are shipped are shipped into file shares right now, file share service. So our customers are asking for it. There's a need for it. That's where we're going. Last night we were at, we had a little developer meetup with some developers and some analysts and the analysts kind of come in two flavor in this market. You have old school cloud analysts who've been covering public cloud, infrastructure as a service, and some platforms as a service. Then you have now other analysts looking at the implications for the large enterprise and large service providers. And their service level agreements and some of the compatibilities with existing stuff and storage is obviously a big part of it and still growing whether it's storing for big emails and or having stuff to store it. And then you get flash memory, all these new innovations going on storage. But why is NetApp such an important ingredient right now? Because I will say that your filers and your solutions are a nice now ingredient for these cloud builders. It's a really big tool in the tool chest. Why is it important in the context of OpenStack? Explain why the enterprises and large infrastructures need this OpenStack and how it relates to your announcement. So our customers are coming to us and asking for a few things. They're asking for some form of intelligent data protection. They've got varying SLAs. So that's one of the big things that they're after, right? So providing that is probably first and foremost in the requests. They're also looking for non-disruptive operations and how do we deliver against that? And finally, they're looking for predictable scale and they want scale. And then there's some other fun stuff that they're starting to look at so at varying performance level. So depending on the workload use case that they're after. So I'm going to read a quote here on the press release. NetApp is eager to work with the OpenStack community to establish the optimal path for bringing critical shared file service capabilities to the core of OpenStack. Can you explain to the folks out there why OpenStack Summit is very relevant today? Obviously, you guys also have relationships with Amazon. You guys will play, you're like the neutral third party when it comes to all these cloud wars going on. So you're playing on in different camps and you have supported open source in the past. Explain why the core of OpenStack needs this kind of a broach. Okay, well first and foremost, I mean, you saw the crowd out front, right? So it's really exciting. OpenStack is going to be one of the players going forward in infrastructure to service. Storage is underlying that. NetApp has always been an open source based company. We work very well. Yes, another fun fact that people don't realize is we've been committing since 2001 into the Linux kernel and we are the maintainers of NFS in the Linux kernel. So those are some of the things that, you know, where we're very much involved and we just see OpenStack as a natural migration. We're an innovation company. OpenStack is an innovation at the management plan for infrastructure to service. Not everyone gets to do the clean sheet of paper. I'm outside Facebook. I was talking earlier on the intro as a great example of a company that can start with a clean sheet of paper and they only have one app. It's called Facebook. So like, okay, they can build their own stuff, do the memcache, all that innovation. They're still buying industry standard gear, but not everyone has that clean sheet of paper. There's a lot of legacy, disaster recovery, policies. You have all kinds of these inherent issues and decades of practices, management software, management plan. So can you talk about the challenges that that brings to a large enterprise when they want to accelerate their build out of cloud infrastructure? And how does, and what should they be thinking about when they look at that? Well, it always goes, first thing I always think of it is it goes back to people, right? You may want to do something brand new. You may want to do something in green field, but you're working with people that have skill sets and as you said, have procedures in place and have exabytes of storage in place. And they're looking for ways to move to the brave new world. And we all see the efficiencies and the gains that are to be there. They're looking for a path from here to there. And you're right. If you start with a clean sheet of paper, fantastic. But most companies don't have a luxury. So Jeff, let me follow up on that. So what are some of the apps that you're seeing in the enterprise? I'm sure the CIO is kind of freaking out. He's trying to make this move. He's got a whole stack of stuff. Where do they, you know, where do they start? Where's kind of their, how do they get their feet wet in this brave new world? Where folks that we're talking to are kicking the tires is what we think of as a utility cloud. And so they're looking for ways to very cost effectively create a dev test environment under OpenStack control and build out a cloud. And that's a great way for them to get their feet wet. And from the numbers they're looking at, they can do this very effectively using an OpenStack approach. So they can almost take that blank sheet of paper approach, build this little environment for kind of specialty kind of instances where people are doing a little developer project or kind of standalone project. Yeah, tons of development activity going on and they can do that for their own use. So that's the kind of folks that have approached this earliest first. And where do you think some of the real breakthrough, heavy lifting, mission critical? Okay, we're really ready to jump in with both feet and adopt this methodology, if you will. What are some of the first couple tipping point apps you think might fall? Okay, so the, well, it's funny. I think of, I almost think of this as an app, right? From our point of view is a utility cloud is an app. You're enabling developers to do what they want when they want and giving them access to things like intelligent data protection so that they can actually write to what they need to accomplish from a business perspective. Okay, interesting. So it's thinking of it that way. Jeff, talk about, so I want to ask you about Flash. And obviously we were at IBM had an event last week. And obviously Flash memory is obviously going crazy right now. And it's creating a lot of opportunities in software. So the open source world is really gaining ground using storage as an enabler versus just storing stuff. So software is a key part of that. What's, how does that play into this? Cause storage is not going away. That's pretty clear. It's growing. So the new paradigm is scale out open source. And that's what people are trying to get to. And they might not get to an extreme level like a Facebook, but large enterprises want to reduce their footprint costs and increase their performance. And then doing it by throwing a lot more gear out there and storing stuff. So how does that play into the trend with OpenStack? So I'd say this is fun. This is early days, right? And we're all figuring this out as we go. So the notion you're really hitting on is how do you make varying performance levels available? So it's kind of that quality of service frontier and building SLAs in and making Flash available at one end of it and capacity. Right now OpenStack is a lot more focused on bringing up the capacity tier. The core building of the cloud. So I talked about a term you guys kick around called non-disruptive operations, which it's more of a categorical way to describe what everyone wants.  So let's unpack what non-disruptive operations means. There's a lot of stuff that's under the hood of that. I mean, that means people don't want to disrupt their operations when either automating, configuring, managing the fluidness of data. Right, so take me through what is non-disruptive and is it a goal? Is it a destination? Is it a state of mind? Is it technology all the above? Yeah, all the above, I'd say. I break it down. I keep it very simple for me is what did the customer ask me for? And this comes, when we started building out non-disruptive operations some years ago for clouds, it was the notion of I need to do things like tech refreshes and software upgrades and for data that has varying SLAs and various levels of protection have been incorporated into that. And I can't take, I've got hundreds of clients in a multi-tenant environment, right? I've got hundreds of clients sitting there running on top of this. How do I manage through that process underneath? And maintain integrity with the applications.  It's not easy and it's not easy to do a scale and so that's the areas that we work at around non-disruptive operations. And talk about data protection because obviously that data integrity is not a clean black or white situation. What is the current state of the art when it comes to data protection in these cloud environments? Especially some security issues, there's a lot of compliance. There's a lot of management facts but also there's some technical factors. What are the key technical factors and management factors that you're seeing right now? So, for us it's the, trying to think about how to, I come at this from a different viewpoint. So things that we need to do is provide, it always goes back to how do you provide recovery in seconds for customers. They can't have downtime on their application. So it's rapid recovery of data. It's keeping the network open. Those are some of the issues that we see where we bring value to the current state of the art and OpenStack around just basic backup recovery but then you have disaster recovery and how do you move off site? How do you keep, the problems don't change just the way you go about solving them changes. Talk about the proposals you guys put forth this morning. So in your news release you mentioned that you put a proposal, you said you brought code to the table. Can you explain what that is? Yeah, sure. Basically we've proposed, there's about three pieces to it if you break it down. There is broadly the notion of an API that abstracts the file system and it will work with any file type but allows you to interface with any file type. And then there's two specific implications that we put in place. So the first we put in place was for generic Linux capability. So we can talk to Linux and the file component of Linux. And the other is a more specific implementation around that capabilities. And once you're there, then you get the advantages that NetApp has around managing files, moving files, protecting files, replicating files. So Jeff, I have a question on the business side. So when the CIOs are making this move to the cloud and they're putting in all this infrastructure and the investment, do you see it more as a, is it a carrot or is it a stick?  It's both.  It depends on the application. It's very compelling from a cost perspective and people see that possibility. And then they look at, well, do I have people that can execute against it? So they're being, as you would guess, cautious generally and looking for people they can trust to get to a solution that they can get started with and build out from. Okay. And still, are most of those experts coming from the product side, for coming from the companies like yours and that have experience with their infrastructure and how they're running and... We're there. We have, you know, certainly we're there. We have a lot of customers coming to us and we're working with them. There's an awful lot of great innovation going on here. I mean, that's what's so fun about this conference is there's small companies bringing innovations, big companies bringing innovations. Whoever's got a good idea gets a voice. It gets in. And that's really the benefit of the whole open source movement is there's a lot of collaborators, the innovation power, I would think just far outstripped in an individual company can do it. Yeah. If you bring code to the table, you can talk. If you can participate. And that's cool. Yeah. What about for the folks out there, what your take is on OpenStack? Because obviously you guys are big participant in the community. There are a lot of issues in the enterprise that quite frankly have to be addressed, you know, positives, compliance, NFS support, all the stuff that needs that no one, you know, they just have to be addressed and supported. And so you have this growth of an OpenStack community that's like a lot of, it's an open source project. You have the Cowboys, right? The Cowboys and, you know, pun intended, kind of with the rack space, you know, dig there. But, you know, it's a fast charging organization. NetApp is in these large enterprises, they're very conservative, and they need to have certain things. Why is this year's OpenStack different? Can you talk about the vibe here and why we think it's at an inflection point, which we stated earlier, I want to get your take on it. Is it at an inflection point and why is it so important this year? Well, again, you start with the crowds and you say, yeah, it's at an inflection point. You don't get this many people here this interested without that. The other thing I think that I think is the key is we're on the cusp, we're not there yet, but we're on the cusp of having a number of commercial distributions come out. And with those commercial distributions, you move it out of the science project and into pragmatic adoption by mere mortals, right? You can't underestimate that. It goes back to the people question. Yeah, and I was really critical about OpenStack. When, first of all, I was there before it started. We're talking to Rackspace, so I just saw the whole migration. But the thing that I was really critical on OpenStack at the beginning was, it was like a marketing pool part. Everyone's jumping in from a marketing, but what happened was it really got really interesting fast about a year and two years ago when software defined networking started hitting the scene when you saw real guys coming in saying, hey, if we collaborate and come together and build code, you mentioned bringing code to the table, stuff got done quick. It moved quickly from a hype to implementation. It really has. And can you comment on that and kind of where you see it going? Well, the first thing I see is it feels like the whole open source approach has matured and it's gotten more efficient, more effective, perhaps. We've been in OpenStack now. This is our fifth conference that we've participated in. We've been there. From the beginning. Yeah. Yeah, Rackspace has been a good partner for a long time. Many of the other players here are also partners. The, so to your cowboy comment. Rackspace Cowboys. That's Texas. It's here in Portland, though. Just closer to Seattle, not by accident. So I guess I go back to you have the common distribution. Our approach has been to be putting code in upstream from that. So you have that in these commercial distributions that are rolling out. We're there. I mean, that's been, our approach has always been technical. We always, we always try and under promise over deliver. I mean, that's kind of a. Yeah, and that's always been innovative in a typical Silicon Valley company. What would you share with the folks out there? What's your take to the CIO message? What's your CIO message with the folks out there around why OpenStack is important? Is it the build factor? Is it the fact that it's faster time to market for cloud? Is it a service plane? Is it, what is the key message to a CIO sitting there scratching their head going? You know, I'm trying to understand this OpenStack movement. You know, how should I put my arms around that? Okay, so as you think about building out the cloud, infrastructure service, you're building platforms on top of that. You may be building software as a service capability on top of that potentially, is the first thing you got to get to is that infrastructure service level and you need a management plane across that. And you need a management plane that's going to let everybody play because you want the innovation from the largest number of players. That's what OpenStack is delivering to the CIO, is you can start down that path with now a pretty well-defined management plane. You know, continue to... Certified by the crowd. Certified by the crowd, which is actually proven to be a pretty good model. And now with commercial distributions coming out, you have access to that. But again, it's the don't overthink it. It's a management plane for infrastructure as a service. It's the Lego blocks for cloud. Yeah.  Where are the major areas you see a lot of action going on in terms of the architecture and the tool chest, so to speak? So we're very involved in, I guess we're not supposed to use code names anywhere, sender, but the OpenStack block storage capability, we've been involved in that. It's a very big area that's going to continue to build. But then you look at areas like glance for image management, there's still a lot of work going on there. There's a lot of work going on in quantum, the networking game. I mean, all those pieces continue to evolve. And it's, well, it is all about automation. It's all about simplification. It's how do you get up and running with infrastructure to serve a stack? That's what it's about. We're here with Jeff O'Neill with NetApp, obviously breaking it down. Five years with the OpenStack was called the design summit back in the day. And again, this was really driven out of the rack spaces when they started getting in cloud, when they bought cloud sites and they realized how hard it was to build cloud, they realized that it had to be a group of people come together and provide those best practices and tools and code. So it's great momentum, it's a real inflection point, final parting question for you. Share with the folks through the five year history since you've been involved with NetApp. How does this relate to scaling up in terms of this community? There's a lot of folks that are looking at this community to join for OpenStack. It's got a lot of real credibility and momentum now, never seen before. It's really got some lift. What would you share with the folks that are either kind of tipping their toes on the waters, thinking about how to get involved? And that could be both developers and technology companies and enterprises. What would you share with them? Is the vibe right now? Where's the roadmap? Okay, so you got to realize I'm the OpenStack guy within NetApp. That's a biased question. That's okay, be biased. Share your opinion. I'm biased. I'm seeing a turn, it is turning right now. We're at the cusp. We really are at that inflection point as you've mentioned. It's time, if you're not already in POCs, and I mean, frankly, many, if not most of our customers are already in POCs. It's time to get your toes wet and work on this, and this is clearly there. You've got, I haven't heard the count yet, but you probably have it. There's a big crowd out there. Yeah, over 3,000 here in Portland. I mean, this has just taken on a life of its own. OpenStack is at an inflection point crossing over into what a mainstream enterprise service product telcos. Anyone who's investing in infrastructure and future solutions like mobile and software-led infrastructure as OpenStack is a key ingredient. Obviously, this modern era of the data center, software-defined data center, whatever you want to call it, you guys are going to do well on that as storage is not going away. But having storage that's flexible and adaptable and agile in the environment is critical. And I think this is where the futures have headed. Again, this is the beginning. We're excited to be here exclusively. This is SiliconANGLE's coverage from theCUBE. We'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.


Abstract immunotherapy is used to regulate systemic hyperactivation or hypoactivation to treat various diseases. Biomaterial-based immunotherapy systems can improve therapeutic effects through targeted drug delivery, immunoengineering, etc. However, the immunomodulatory effects of biomaterials themselves cannot be neglected. In this review, we outlined biomaterials with immunomodulatory functions discovered in recent years and their applications in disease treatment. These biomaterials can treat inflammation, tumours, or autoimmune diseases by regulating immune cell function, exerting enzyme-like activity, neutralizing cytokines, etc. The prospects and challenges of biomaterial-based modulation of immunotherapy are also discussed.

Here are three spring type of outfits. I filmed these during a small warm up that New York had. Basically anything above 50 is like summer to us, so it was a perfect opportunity to get some filming done. And spring is actually coming in a few weeks. We're gonna have to move the hour forward. So hope you guys enjoy these looks. Fit number one is for the colder days of spring. Let's start with the jacket. This is the collaboration between white mountaineering and Levi's. I've talked about this extensively, but this is a very good looking jacket that I would consider a statement piece because of its intricate and unique design. I paired this trucker hat that I got from Chicago from just doing touristy stuff. And this one specifically was from the gift shop at the Sears Tower. Shout out to anyone in the shy. And I burned the leather patch just to give it a more rustic look and so I can make it easier to style. So I threw this on because the hat matches the denim jacket and I personally only do this if the items are in close proximity together. If my socks and sneakers were in this dark navy color, it comes off way too matchy-matchy, if that makes sense. When they are next to each other, it looks more cohesive and they complement each other. I don't know, it's really hard to explain, but that's my thought process. Now the hoodie is from Alpha Industries and what I love about it is its abstract cuts to your standard hoodie. A hoodie has your standard pouch and sort of a v-neck collar because that's where the hood material starts. This one ignores that and gives you a nylon kangaroo pouch along with the standard pouch as well and a higher neck collar for your hoodie. Honestly, it kind of makes you look like an astronaut, but that's a good thing because it makes your fit stand out a little bit more. It makes it look a lot more unique. These corduroy pants are from Folk. They have that typical vertical texture to it. Full transparency, this was sent over by Mr. Porter when I collaborated with them for Chinese New Year and these are expensive pants, okay? I'm sure you can find a more affordable corduroy pants out there, but this one does have a noticeable bump in premium materials than say a $50 pair of pants. So let me know if you guys want to see a video on like high fashion versus fast fashion or something like that. I understand that everyone isn't into fashion as much as I am because I make content on it. A lot of people are more casual about it. Besides, I started off the channel with H&M anyways. So let me know if you guys want to see something like that. So the reason I went olive on olive is that's actually one method I have with coming up with an outfit. Solid color base and any color jackets as long as they complement each other.  I tried it with olive just to step out of my comfort zone and I think it works, especially because of the sneakers. These are the Kraft Air Force ones which is a must pick up in my opinion because like the pants, there is a noticeable bump in premium materials. I'm trying to avoid saying amazing quality all the time by the way, but the leather is just way better than the standard one. If you get the Kraft model, do it. But I am in love with these mainly because this model is more cream versus pure white and that really complements the olive outfit base that I have. Plus the dark orange or the swoosh complements the denim jacket in terms of complementary colors. And I think it's one of my better fits. I feel really good in it. I wore zero black in this fit. So it helped push me creatively. Hope you guys got some insight on this fit. Next up is a fun fit I put together. This isn't tech wear as it's narrow definition. This is just me experimenting with a new item and focusing on complimenting a motif. So this jacket specifically is from a brand called L House. Definitely Japanese inspired, but with some tactical touches to it. Pretty unique jackets. I really see these worn out in public. And I paired it with this Lululemon Pulse shirt, breathable, anti-stink and very comfortable to wear. I like that this shirt isn't pure white. I know on camera it might look like it's very white but it's more of a very, very light gray and that contrasts nicely against the jacket. I like that the split hem is sticking out a bit. It's a pretty nice touch. Pants are the ACG woven cargoes. I've talked about these a lot as well. They dropped the price by almost half, but they did raise it a bit. There is still some in stock but only for the bigger dudes. So for reference, I am wearing a size small and I complimented it with a pair of slip on white vans. So I picked vans because it does have sort of an Asian inspired design. It's a low top, no laces. I just thought it would compliment the jacket more so than let's say the Akron Impressos or something like that.  That's my go-to color combo. But I threw on a black beanie instead of my mustard one because I wanted it to look more stealthy. So there you go. And the last phase is something you'll see me in more often than not. I am not always dressed up in fancy items. It's always something like this. On this day, it was New York's first day out of freezing temperatures. I had not skated in three weeks. I was getting sad. But enough about my seasonal depression. Let's start with the SB dunks. Yes, I understand me skating these may upset some of you. But I've always wanted these as a kid. I couldn't afford them. And I picked skating back up last year when the hype for these was insane. And I could still barely afford them. But I bought them for the purpose of creating content. So yeah, I'm gonna skate them. I'm gonna rock them. I wanna give you guys good insight on these sneakers.  Because there's just so much gatekeeping nowadays. I don't wanna tell you, they are meant for skating. I'm gonna skate in them. Jordan ones are meant for the hardwood. And you don't see anyone playing them. Workwear is meant for actual carpenters and construction workers, et cetera. You don't see a lot of guys doing that either. But also I will tell you that they are meant for skating. And I wanted to see how they actually perform. So what I'm trying to say is, I don't care if you skate them. I don't care if you treasure it. I don't care if you wear casually. Clothes are clothes. These items are for sale to the public. Let people enjoy them in all forms. Anyways, rant done. These are the Valentine's SB dunks from 2014, I believe. They skate okay to me. I'm still a Vans guy at the end of the day. But the white panels of the sneakers call for a pair of pants that aren't black, unless you like a lot of contrast. So I have on these express jeans. Yes, I still wear denim.  Perfect for street fits, perfect for skating. The top is a simple oversized long sleeve from Carhart. I have on a Nike golf hat, some jade black glasses to elevate the fit slightly. And a simple necklace from Rolls Golden Black with a simple jade pendant that my mama gave to me. As you can see, this fit is as simple as it gets.  I didn't do my hair, so I threw on a hat, okay? But a hat can be too casual. So I threw on a pair of metal frames, cool. This fit needs a little tiny pop of color to me. So that's why I threw on this necklace.  Sometimes simpler is better. I could have also just went with a Rolls Gold necklace for a more subtle touch. And my go-to place for necklaces is the sponsor of today's video, Rolls Golden Black. Let me take a minute to thank them for supporting the channel. So Rolls Golden Black is the best place to start off at if you guys are new to jewelry. They always have something for everyone, whether you're into bracelets or necklaces. Personally, I really dig all of their minimal designs. And what's so great about picking up any necklace is that you can swap out the pendants for something else, or you could just rock it just as a normal chain by itself. And you can always buy your own type of pendants to continue switching it up. To start off, definitely check out their minimal bar necklaces. It's simple, sleek and clean design makes it versatile for a wide range of aesthetics. If I'm ever rocking a simple fit like this last one, I always throw on some sort of metal accessory. And that's the cherry on top. I wear these all the time. They also have an oddity necklace that looks pretty dope. It's a little more rugged looking. It's not as sleek and clean as a minimal bar necklace. You could also just pick up a simple chain from them and go your own routes with buying your own pendants. Either way, definitely check out Rolls Golden Black at the link in the description. That link is going to take you to my special landing page where a ton of items are going to be heavily discounted at up to 25% off. Plus, you're going to get a free bracelet on top of that. And I'm not really sure how long this is going to last, but it's a solid deal. And you could also use the discount code vibe15 to save even more money. So go ahead and treat yourself. I really appreciate you guys supporting the sponsors. The sponsors support me. You guys support me. They've been supporting my channel since I pretty much started YouTube. So thank you guys for that. And thank you Rolls Golden Black for sponsoring this video. All right guys, those are the fits. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'm so glad it's going to start warming up and we're going to have more daylights. Seasonal depression is going to start to fade away slightly. Yo, if you made it this far, comment down below Kandama. I just picked this up for nostalgic reasons. And, okay, I still don't got it. But yeah, comment that down below. That way I know you guys made it this far in the video. And so I know that you're cool. If you guys haven't already, follow me on Instagram at Fly With Johnny Tye. You can follow me on TikTok as well. I just started posting often on there as well. Thanks guys. See you guys in the next one.
