Anthony, with the number of guys you've run through on the one side at cornerback, how important has Malcolm Butler's availability and his play every week been in terms of providing some consistency to the past coverage? It's been good. He's been in there. He's been available. He's been in that for us every week. Came in every week to work and prepare and take on the challenge of taking the team's top receiver. So it's been good to have him over there on that side throughout the year. Did you expect him to take on that challenge of the top receiver every week or is that sort of, you know, is he sort of earned that right as with his play as this season has gone on? We just take it a week by week deal to see if that's what's best for us to have the best chance to win. And obviously, you know, he wants that challenge and then we feel that it's necessary. We'll do it. But we take that on a week-to-week basis to see how from a game plan standpoint, how we want to attack the opposing offenses. Tini. Hey, what's up, Coach? How you doing? I'm doing well. Appreciate you. I wanted to ask you about a Dory. I remember during camp you talked about him coming in and competing and, you know, making progress and as far as consistency is concerned. What were your thoughts of him watching him out there for those things next?  It's been his first, you know, game back. I thought he did a good job going out there.  But I was pleased with, you know, he played around right around 27 snaps. I think it was. And I was pleased to see him on getting there just, you know, getting have an opportunity to compete in the game, you know, since he's been out so long. So that was encouraging. And, you know, we came out and it was good to see him. And he was excited to be back. So we're excited to have him. It acts depth to the group. And it's a good thing for us. And then in watching the game, the communication, there were a few times that we're crossing routes and things. He was talking to the other players, which is something I know, you know, the communication has been an area for improvement. How did you manage to keep him involved and keep him to that level to where he could kind of help other people out, even though he didn't play for so long?  And it's a comfort level for those guys to just go out there. And that's the big thing about it.  Um, a Dory has high football, you know, IQ, so I don't worry about him, you know, with that. So he's just a benefit with him out there just to helping us improve the communication on the field. Thank you. Paul. Hey, Anthony, hypothetically, if you've got a corner in space against a giant running back, how would you advise them not to get stiff arm slam to the ground? He doesn't go for his legs.  You have no chance. So, but good luck with that. You surprised how often people wind up. I mean, obviously it's a huge highlight real thing. Everybody's seeing it, right? It's on Twitter, every football player, little leager, everybody's seeing it yet every other week. We see a guy putting himself in that position. Yeah, that's a tough deal.  So it's a tough deal when you, you know, balling the tough back like that. You know, I'm just happy that I'm on the same sideline with the mission. Appreciate it. I got a couple of write-ins for you here. Two weeks now where Amani has started kind of last minute in place of Kenny. Is his ability to handle that change a testament to his preparation during the week? Yeah, he's always been a pro, you know, when it comes to preparing himself to get ready to play. That's one of his strengths. And so when his number is called, you know, it's not a shock to him and we tell the guys, if you're sitting in the room, everybody needs to be preparing like they're going to play. You don't wait for your opportunity to come to start preparing. So when your opportunity comes, you're already ready.  And that's what we expect and that's the expectation. Jim Wyatt. And Coach, I'm sorry I'm bouncing in from Coach Williams. I'm sure you've been asked by the Dory, but how did you like what you saw from him Sunday and how much should that just start the process of him getting better each week and maybe in your mind and his?  I thought he did a good job and the more he plays, the better he's going to get. So it was encouraging to see him out there and his teammates was happy to have him out. How much of improving technique is just playing? I mean, you can only do so much in practice, especially when you haven't been out there. Does that do you improve that on the fly? Well, the more you play, you know, you get the game speed reps. I mean, obviously, the more you'll get that and the better you'll get at it. So the more he plays, the better he'll continue to get with the game speed and the game reps. So we'll just continue to build on that each week and see how he handles it. And as far as the group goes, obviously a huge challenge with Anne Rogers on Sunday. What are some of the things you have to point out to the group even before the practice week starts that they don't maybe see when they watch him and the Packers play? Well, I think the guys understand that this guy's a future Hall of Fame quarterback, but a very good receiving core, you know, good tight end, good back, their explosive, you know, great in third downs, great in the red zone. It's a big challenge for us. And that's what that's what you're looking for this time of the year. It's December. It's football. So, you know, it's a great challenge for us to go on the road and that environment, you know, you know, and on a Sunday night to be able to compete on a national stage and it'll be good for us to be a good test for us. Glennon. Hey, Anthony, I was curious. I know Christian hasn't been, you know, back on the in the game yet, but wondering what you've seen from him in terms of practice and how he seems to be progressing. Are you still, you know, coming back when you just keep, you know, monitoring week to week to see how much he's improving and how much he's progressing and then just come to practice and compete and continue to prepare in the meetings like he's been doing all year and then when his numbers call, be ready to go. Sure, I know he played a lot of slot, you know, when he was active earlier in the season. Now, of course, you guys have Desmond King. Does that mean, you know, do you still have Christian playing there when he's in the game just because that's kind of what he's learned or, you know, is it more of an outside situation for him now that King is part of the team? We'll just evaluate that week to week, but Christian was the guy we came in and said his versatility, he can play inside or outside. So he's just not a guy that's just stuck on the inside.  Thank you. TD. You touched on Aaron Rodgers a little bit earlier, but when you look at, you know, he and Devonta Adams, how important is it for these DBs to really plaster this week? Is it more important than others?  So we've got to do a great job, you know, stress during the week, however long it takes. But, you know, we know it's a tough matchup.  It's a big challenge for us and I know our guys will respond to the challenge. You guys do a really good job of having drills that transfer to game day. So that being said, what can you do to during practice, you know, to kind of work that into the habit on game day? Well, it's different drills you can rep in individual periods.   So you can do a lot of different things. The guys just got to know we just got to be locked in this week and know we're playing, you know, a very, very, very good team. And we got to be at our best and that's the way we'll have to approach the week. Same approach every week. You know, we just got to, you know, emphasize being our best, come and have a great week of practice to go up on Sunday to get a win.


The three factors that determine the type of work a motor can produce are speed, torque, and horsepower. Speed is defined as how fast the motor performs its work. For example, a shaft can rotate slowly or quickly. The typical units of measurement for rotational motor speed are revolutions per minute or RPM. Work is defined as a force applied over a distance. In the case of flywheels, winches, and motors, the work is called torque. Torque is a special type of work that produces rotation. Torque occurs when a force acts on a radius. Typical units of measurement for torque are pound-foot. The torque illustrated here is equal to one pound-foot. Horsepower is defined as the rate at which work is accomplished. Years ago, before motors were invented, most work was accomplished manually. It was estimated that one horse could accomplish approximately 33,000 pound-foot of work per minute, and thus the term horsepower was born. In modern terms, horsepower is simply another unit of measurement for power and can be translated into watts, BTUs, joules, or any unit of power. Units that measure motor power are typically in horsepower or watts. You can manipulate the connection among speed, torque, and horsepower by understanding how they are related. The work accomplished here, the torque, is represented by the weight moving along the conveyor. If torque remains constant, speed and horsepower are proportional. As the speed or RPM increases, horsepower increases to maintain constant torque. If speed decreases, horsepower decreases to maintain constant torque. Let's say we wish to keep torque constant but want to increase the production of barrels. If the torque or number of barrels on the conveyor belt remains constant but speed increases, then the horsepower of the motor also increases. In other words, a more powerful motor is required to produce the same amount of torque more quickly. Similarly, the opposite is true. If we wish torque to remain constant and decrease speed, then the horsepower of the motor also decreases. If speed remains constant, then torque and horsepower are proportional as the torque increases, horsepower also increases to maintain constant speed. As the torque decreases, horsepower also decreases to maintain constant RPM. Let's say we want production to increase but the speed of the conveyor to remain constant. If torque increases, horsepower also increases to compensate. This means a more powerful motor is needed to produce more torque at the same speed. Similarly, the opposite is true. If we wish speed to remain constant and decrease torque, then horsepower also decreases. If horsepower remains constant, then speed and torque are inversely proportional as the torque increases, speed decreases to maintain constant horsepower. As torque decreases, speed must increase to maintain constant horsepower. Let's say we want the horsepower of our motor to remain constant but wish to increase the torque. If torque increases, the speed of the conveyor decreases so that the horsepower required of the motor remains constant. Similarly, the opposite is true. If the torque decreases, the speed of the conveyor increases and the horsepower generated by the motor remains constant. To calculate the amount of horsepower required to move a horizontal load, we must first consider the occurrence of sliding friction. Friction occurs when two materials resist moving against one another. For example, it's much easier to pull a block of metal across a smooth field of ice than it is to pull it across a rocky path. The friction between the block and the rocks is greater than the friction between metal and ice. The amount of friction generated depends primarily on the materials which are in sliding contact. The coefficient of friction symbolized by the Greek letter μ is a dimensionless quantity which describes the ratio of the force of the friction between two bodies and the force of them pressing together. This coefficient can be used to help determine the amount of force required to move a load horizontally across a surface. Many manufacturing handbooks contain tables that publish the coefficient of friction for common materials. The amount of force required to slide a load and overcome the surface friction is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the weight of the load. Once this force is determined, it's easy to calculate the required horsepower to move a horizontal load. First, find the horizontal force required by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the weight. Then, determine the amount of work required by multiplying the force by the distance in feet to be moved. Next, calculate the power by dividing the work by the time in minutes. Then, convert to horsepower by dividing the result by 33,000. Finally, add 5% to compensate for estimated friction losses in the motor or cylinder. Let's try an example. Assume the barrel weighs 100 pounds. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the platform is 0.3 and the barrels move 20 feet in 0.1 minutes. We can determine the horsepower required of the conveyor motor by accomplishing the following calculations. First, find the horizontal force required by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the force of the weight which is 100 pounds. In this system, the horizontal force is 30 pounds. Then, determine the amount of work required by multiplying the force by the distance, 20 feet. For this system, the work required is 600 foot pounds. Next, calculate the power by taking the work and dividing by the time, 0.1 minutes. The power is equal to 6,000 foot pounds per minute. Then, convert to horsepower by dividing the result by 33,000. This yields a result of 0.18 horsepower. Finally, add 5% to compensate for estimated friction losses in the motor or cylinder. The final result is 0.19 horsepower. With this result, system designers can ensure the right size motor is available to operate the conveyor. If the distance to be traveled isn't on a horizontal surface, the angle of the surface must be taken into account. To determine the total force required, we must add the force required to raise the load to a higher elevation with the force required to overcome the friction. The total force is equal to the weight times sine A plus the weight times the coefficient of friction times cosine A. Once these two forces are combined, we can continue with the same steps used previously to calculate the size of the motor required. First, find the horizontal force required by adding the force required to raise the load to a higher elevation with the force required to overcome the friction. In this system, the horizontal force is 75.98 pounds. Then, determine the amount of work required by multiplying the force by the distance, 20 feet. For this system, the work required is 1519.6 foot-pounds. Next, calculate the power by taking the work and dividing by the time 0.1 minutes. The power is equal to 15196 foot-pounds per minute. Then, convert to horsepower by dividing the result by 33,000. This yields a result of 0.46 horsepower. Finally, add 5% to compensate for estimated friction losses in the motor or cylinder. The final result is 0.48 horsepower. With this result, system designers can ensure the right size motor is available to operate the conveyor on an incline. As expected, it takes a stronger motor to move weight up an incline than on a horizontal surface. The relationships among horsepower, speed, RPM, work, power and force allow technicians and system designers to determine the appropriate characteristics of motors, cylinders and other fluid system components required to operate any system.


The Cube at OpenStack Summit at LANA 2014 is brought to you by Brocade. Say goodbye to the status quo and hello to Brocade. And Red Hat. Here are your hosts, John Furrier and Stu Miniman. Okay, welcome back everyone. This is The Cube. We're live in Atlanta for the OpenStack Summit. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined today with a special guest, John Luke Chatelaine, good friend, industry legend. He's been around many innovation cycles, booms and busts. Now the CTO of Data Direct Networks. John Luke, great to see you. It's your hometown. Yeah, it's my hometown. You have a farmer. As you can tell by my accent. We need to do that in French. Are we going to do that in French this time? We can do some subtitles in English and talk in French. Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, I'm a little rusty. But it's great to see you. So you have a farm out here in Atlanta, hit with a tornado. Literally, the book inside the tornado, we had Jeffrey Moran on theCUBE at service now. Dave Vellante interviewed and wrote a book inside the tornado. You were literally inside the tornado. I was literally inside the tornado. Two of them. And then you crossed the chasm to get to your house because it did the whole, okay. So that aside, great area. Great to see you again. So you've been around the block. You've seen trends come and go. Standards, bodies get built up, taken down. Some things work, some things don't. Open source is rocking. Of course, we love open source. But in the day, business is business and you got to get deals done. What's this show like? What's your take on OpenStack? And obviously it's got traction, good foundation, good vibes. Yeah, it's interesting to see it evolve. I mean, we've been keeping an eye on OpenStack at DDN since 2010, roughly. It was interesting to see how people starting to adopt it. We're kind of sitting by the side of the game field here. We're really not the DevOps shop. So we're just seeing how those trends are moving. What we've been doing is more than watching what the hype says or what people are doing is really asking our customers, what does it mean for you guys? And all traditional customers have not screamed up a stack. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It just means that it's not yet applicable to the type of people we serve. But we don't serve your general purpose data center, I would say. So I've been quite impressed on the product. It's a DevOps show. What do you mean by it's a DevOps show? I mean, DevOps, we know what DevOps is. You say it's not marketed as a DevOps show. You say, and that's just more of a culture? I think it's a culture. To me, this morning, it was like a DevOps grand mass. I don't know who's the Po. But it's mainly after when you hear the words that are being spoken, it's about speed, it's about agility, it's about transformation of the data center. I mean, its speed of deployment of application is being able to quickly change configuration and be able to bring new application to the end user, which is a great thing. It's about evolving the kind of a stuffy, a little dinosaur-ish IT world. But it feels to me that it's more about networking compute today than it's really about storage. Now, this is not to say that it's ignoring storage, but on top of mine, my impression is a majority of people are focused on, OK, how do I deploy so many VMs at the same time transparently and in a very flexible manner so I can adapt my data center. I said it was not applicable to us because yet, because our customers are extreme. As you know, you're not generally going to find us behind an exchange over or behind a traditional application. So the people we serve, the HPC community, whether it's the Argon National Lab or Oak Ridge, they don't come to us for what the stock is about yet, and then the intelligence community and others, media and entertainment, they're paying attention to it, but that's not what they're asking of us. So today. Yeah, and so one of the things we were talking about is some conversations going on in CrowdChat right now from our previous guest, ex-gardener analyst, now working for Red Hat, Alessandro Pirelli, talking about, we need to change the metric. So I would agree, it is a DevOps show. When you see contribution by lines of code as a core metric of success, you know that it's certainly early and DevOps focused. That's what DevOps thing, hey, ship code. And that was last year's model, vote with your code. So I get that. The issue is, that's not how businesses run. They run on SLAs and this throughput is cost of ownership, total cost of ownership, cost per gigabyte if you're in the storage business, you know, real metrics, penetration, market share. I mean, so with all that, how early is this market?  We had David Wright on early from Solid Fire, and he's got an all flash array. Yeah, I think it's still very early. For what I would, again, for what I would, for my past at U of Packard, right? And dealing with the traditional enterprise, I think it's still very early. Good progress very early. I can see some adoption in service providers, right? When you're a service provider, a lot of things can be done behind the scene, right? Behind the curtain as long as it does not affect the end customer, it's important. You can probably reduce the total cost of ownership for the service providers. I'm not sure it's ready to be rolled into a very traditional IT department and be, you know, as readily adopted as the classic type of technology. Little careful about things that claim to be free also, right? I mean, free is not free. And, you know, I'm not hearing a lot about total cost of ownership yet.  Yeah, let's talk about the metrics that you laid out. So in 2014 predictions, you had done an interview with SiliconANGLE's writer. What were some of the predictions you had and how are they faring? So I think one of the things I predicted is that. Hold on, I pulled up the list. I shared this earlier. Oh, you have that. Let me find it here. SiliconANGLE. My God, he's going to follow me forever. But I've been right. John Luke, searching it. Here we go. Predictions. Let's first here, I predict something. It better be right though. Like I'm forever gone. All right, here we go. Predictions. Prediction number one. Enterprises will keep drowning in data and starving for information and insights. Oh, it is so true. I think that's going pretty good right now. Looking good off the tee, as they say. Middle of the fairway. You know, it's exactly that. They're still completely drowning in data and have little information. You know, only like 1% of information is really being extracted. Remember, it's early. It's only May. We're not even at the halfway point yet, but so far it looks good. They're drowning in data. They're drowning. They're drowning.  And the drowning is real. I've met people spending from transportation company to a pharmaceutical, I mean, I have a good friend who is a high-level executive in a pharmaceutical company. And he just can't find anything. He can't find signal. And you would think that, you know, those people, they live and breathe by data, right? And they're, you know, they're just still. So the whole, it's very real. I mean, it's very, very real that it's still drowning. And so the magic is, how can you help as quickly as possible find that signal and get it out? But 1% of information being truly exploited is not enough. And that's going to be low latency, real-time analytics. Certainly cloud will help there. That's coming out of the open-stack years that analytics are a great use case for the cloud.  Second prediction, number two, enterprises will want to do big data projects while their little data issues are still not resolved. You sound like a psychologist there. Their little data issues are not yet resolved. What do you mean by that? But I mean that, you know, there's too many definitions for big data. I'm not going to go down that route. If we say that big data is kind of machine-generated data plus social-type data and all this, I see a lot of customers saying, I've got a big data problem, I've got to solve it.  I mean, your transaction data, which is very well-known, very well-structured. That's all that I was doing. That's all they're doing. That's all they do. He did not agree with that, but we'll... Yeah, they don't. So what I'm... He said, no, we do it all. I know. I don't want to start controversy, but yes, data... He's a Georgia Tech alum, don't go hard on him. CEO from Solifire, Dave Wright. I know, I was a AMRE, so that's okay. What he said is data silos, and then in the future, or in the new world, all data will reside on scale-out database. I'm just asking the question, what do we do with your structure? I asked a question. I asked a question. He said, no, we do it all, but really dissecting his answer, maybe he was not thinking properly, but it's transactional. I mean, that's essentially... Yeah, it's transactional. That's relational databases, that stuff in memory. But even that today, I don't think people are extracting as much as they could out of that very well-structured data.  The little data might be hiding in the big data, too. You know, at the end of the day, both are useful.  And it's both together give you the truth, because context with sentiment is powerful. Next prediction, software defined everything hype will increase in total ignorance of where and when hardware and software-tight coupling makes sense. So Markers and Hopkins was actually pointing this out, and he didn't think it was overhyped based on the quote that the guy from Seth, who ink tank sold to Red Hat, he was like, it's completely BS. So he's agreeing with you. Today on theCUBE, he said that. You know, that was music to my ear. That was music to my ear, because you would think of the guys from Seth being like software defined everything. They are software defined. They are all about software defined, right? So I was waiting for somebody to speak about software defined software anytime soon, right? But hasn't been done yet. But yeah, I mean, the reality is, for the past 10 years, a lot of storage has been software working in conjunction with hardware in order to deliver a given quality of service.  No, they're not, right? I mean, but the moment you've got, you know, thousand line, a hundred thousand line, a million, we've got two million lines of software on our arrays. Right? We're software defined storage if you want. But I'd rather think we're just, you know, the right solution, right? Yeah, then- Well, Mark Hopkinson was saying on our crowd chat, well then, if you think that's BS and you're calling it out on it, and so did the guy from Seth, then all data is big data. All data is big data. Well, big data is all data. Yes. Right. Yeah, you're right. It's like, okay, so Mark, you're right on that one. So in a way, it's, you know, okay, next prediction. Commodity and open source everything pundits will still live in blissful ignorance of a little thing called TCO. Well, that's what I said a minute ago. Total cost of ownership, right? It's not because something I give you is free, right? That running that thing is going to be free. This is what Red Hat's fighting for earlier on. We had the analysts on this. Now it works at Red Hat. This is what IBM and HP all recognize is that total cost of ownership is the game. That is the metric. At the end of the day, everything else is BS. I'm going to write that on the crowd chat. I absolutely think that's totally the case. Whether you call it the shark fin or the tip of the iceberg and underneath that line is the real cost, right? So huge deal. It's hard to really calculate what total cost of ownership is. It's hard because of the self-cost, of course, right? But, you know, it is a game, right? You know, I went back in the days when I was in the email archiving market at large scale, I was telling customers that I could give them the storage. They will still pay to get that storage managed. So I don't think anything has changed. Total cost of ownership is about how much it costs to run something, right? And open source everything and everything is free. Sorry, I've been around the block too long. That's it, that's all I predicted. Now, there's going to be another one. Okay, I'm just writing this down. Overheard on theCUBE. Go to crowdchat.net if you want to participate. I said you were on your Facebook page. Now you're really working. I said you were on your Facebook page. No, I don't post a Facebook anymore. People still use the IE site. Prediction number five. EDW economics will still be poor. Drive ETL for data reduction and inflexible model. Fit hence derive faulty insights. So enterprise data warehouses will not have a good value, what you're saying? Yeah, so what I'm saying here is the traditional EDW, as defined by, I won't name any vendors, but everybody knows what traditional EDWs are, are they storage costs, which is astronomical, right? You know, numbers that would scare you. And that storage cost has driven, which is an economic model, has driven a lot of people to not be able to put all the information that they need inside their EDW to attract the signal. In fact, a lot of time in an EDW, you put subset of data or sampling of data because you can't afford economically speaking to put everything. So I've said it many times to me, extract, transform, and load, which really is really extract, torture, and lose. So, but what's really interesting is that there is an emergence of the BDW, the Business Data Warehouse, and Hadoop is a great component of that. So Hadoop, I've said it many times, is not an analytics platform, but it's an important component in the analytics platform. And what Hadoop is bringing in that space, that revolution, giving a revolution there, is that it allows people to keep all of the raw data that they need in order to then do the analytics work. And that the Business Data Warehouse is going to obfuscate the EDW from a amount of data that they keep and where people do lots of analytics. This is not to say that EDW will disappear because compliance data and referential data may still sit there. Last prediction, the big data universe will have a giant black hole into which security, privacy, and GRC, which stands for global governance, risk management, compliance, have fallen and will stay. Yeah, and I would add security and privacy to that. Security, privacy, and GRC have fallen and will stay. What do you mean have fallen and will stay? What do you mean by that? Meaning I don't see a lot of motion around tools to enable governance to enable good privacy and good security around big data. You and I, I think we had lunch a year ago and we talked about the shadow data. You remember the shadow data, right? And so I'm concerned that in the world of big data, people are going to be capturing feeds from social networks and all this. Got to have information about consumers which agree the consumers are giving freely today but which privacy is not really considered. So there is a big void on tools around helping an enterprise have awareness of the risk and the compliance issue with big data. And none of the tools that I see today are designed to the scale at which they need to be designed in order to handle big data.   All right, so we're gonna end the same way up on time here but I want to just get your thoughts on industry consolidation and during growth. So we heard that the trough of disillusionment is coming in the cloud from the Gardner guy in terms of open stack and all this stuff. And big data too by the way. And big data too is? Right in the middle of it. It's right in the, yeah, I mean, thank God that everyone's doing all their M&A deals now but so this is going to bring opportunities, right? So Intel made a huge purchase, I mean a huge investment in cloud era purchase. It seems to come out of my mouth just thinking about it. That's a wishful thinking. It is practically a purchase in my mind but it's a huge valuation. It's over the top, it's insane but the betting on the future and the big bet that is in this space around open stack you see consolidation, what's your experience? And you've been on the M&A side, certainly on HP you are a big part of the strategy over there when you're in the CTO office and you're obviously in industry luminary now. What do you see for the buyers and the sellers? Who's buying, who's selling, who needs to buy, who needs to sell? You don't need to name names if you want to name names that's great.  I'm a big picture though. Who's the buyer? I'm from a big picture, clearly. Is it a buyer's market or seller's market? It's going to be a buyer's market, right? We're probably on the beginning of the trough of the illusion then right smack in the middle for the cloud, my gut feeling but I think the buyers are going to be the 800 pound gorillas that are being threatened, right? I mean I would not want to be sitting on 10 million lines of code to do virtual machine provisioning in a proprietary manner, would you? Because these guys, all the 4700 geeks out there they're going to use things that are very impressed by what the guys from Ubuntu talked about, right? The automated provisioning that they have and all that. The juju. The juju, right? I mean I think this is great stuff, right? And there's another one called Solstack. Yeah. Really, really interesting stuff. He's a great guy, he was on the queue as well. Right, so I think that the big guys are going to keep an eye very, very close on what's happening here and they're going to need to own them, right? Otherwise they're going to get commoditized. What do you think about storage? Obviously pure storage is valuation. I mean, legit or over the top, you think they have any chance to be the next EMC? No. Welcome to the bubble, right? You don't think they have a chance to be the next EMC? Pure storage, not a chance. What's holding, what do you think? How does it kind of play out? Give us your forecast on that. You know, I don't like extremes, right? So all disk is not good, all flash is not good, a little bit of both is interesting. There is no searching as one size fits all, right? There are places where pure SSD solutions are very applicable to accelerate some application. There are places where the economics are not going to work because of the size, the amount of data that you have or the type of profile that you have. I'm really more looking at, you know, I'm a big fan of non-flash solid state, right? So I do think that in term, the next generation memory technology are going to usher a transformation. And the transformation would be that enough solid state memory would be close to the application that the traditional storage would be relegated to the archive stuff. So that's what I see. But it's not going to be an SSD place, it's not going to be a direct to PCIe or whatever the bus of the CPU bus of the time it's going to be, or lots of solid state technology. Whether it's PCMS, DRAM, or VRAM, we can argue that till the cars come home, right? I got my preference, but, you know, Intel as others. But lots of memory, close to CPU, a programmatic model or programming models that move from, you know, far-read and far-write to malloc and free, right? And then storage, taking a backseat as being the archive of all that. Scott Tentz has got a big vision.  But EMC just bought DSSD, what did you think about that move? It's about people and IP. I'm trying to, I mean. That's not their normal mode move. That's not their normal move, but I think they're probably, you know. Given Xtremio's demand, they need to kind of bolt something in there. Yeah, I think they need patents and they need smart people. Yeah, they certainly got it with that deal. It could also be defensive. Yeah. Right? It feels like they got the cool kids, right? Yeah, it's a great team. I don't know, have you seen the product? I have not. No, I love the presentation. Jeremy Burton did a great job at EMC. Okay, last question I want to ask you is, I'll ask everyone is, why is this point in history in the tech business so exciting? You've, again, been through many innovation cycles, booms and busts and hypes and bubbles and so you've seen a lot. Yeah. Compare this moment in time. Why is it out there?  Why is it so exciting? Why are people all jazzed up? Well, I can tell you why I'm jazzed up. I'm jazzed up at value extraction, right? So I think it's a great moment because we are at the moment where information becomes the currency of the enterprise. And we are changing how we make decisions. We're gonna get to a nearer of data and information during decision, right? Powered by big data. So that too may excite me. Ultimately, infrastructure is being simplified and automated. On some aspect, I think we're rebuilding the mainframe sometime, you know? The cloud is all virtual, all automated, partitioned everywhere, virtual partitioned everywhere. Sounds like a giant mainframe to me.  The systems guys are back. The old school dudes like us are back and in vogue.  It's like an operating system. The web is now a complete operating. I mean, APIs are subsystems, right? I pulled out my JCL books the other day. I mean, maybe we can put that on resume, you know? I mean, data centers, not just data centers, but now if you look at the cloud, the cloud is a distributed network, right? It's connected. You got some compute everywhere. You got virtualization. I mean, why not just create one big massive system? Yours was funny because we broke the mainframe, right? We tore it apart during the open system time. And then we got all those parts and we put them together and it was good because it brought in standardization and open system and all that. And then we realized that putting it together and keeping it working is really expensive and it's kind of nice when they're all unified. So maybe we're rebuilding the mainframe of this. You know, I'm personally excited. I would agree with you. I think I'm excited because what you said, wealth extraction, I think, or value extraction. I think it's a wealth creation opportunity for entrepreneurs, I think. You look at OpenStack and why I'm not too hard on the OpenStack. I mean, how this thing plays out. It's still baking in the oven, in my opinion. But there is some serious wealth creation, value creation opportunities for customers which would then get rewarded to the companies to create that value for customers. I mean, industries are created this way and I think you're going to see some new industry formations that's going to create a new cast of characters, new players. Yeah. Some old ones will fade away, stay around. But I just think it's a great, if you're an entrepreneur, the chips are on the table. Yeah, and we can do good things with it. That's what I really like about it. I mean, I'm seeing what information enable in underprivileged countries like Africa, for example, where we can bring what you and I consider as normal to the fingertip and some kid in the desert that can now have access to this and the enablement and the all the- The globalization is amazing. The globalization of the use of information for good. I mean, I know there's a lot of information that's not useful, good, but, you know. We're seeing kumbaya here in theCUBE, but I think it's true. I mean, this is all about relationships. Social media certainly is doing that. John Luke, great to see you on theCUBE. As always, great segment to see you, hear your predictions and looking at their on track and your insight into the storage activity and certainly open stack predictions here. This is theCUBE. We're right back with our next guest after this short break. Thank you. Bye.


Hi there, my name is Stephanie and I'm a Program Manager at TechSoup. Today I would like to show you how easy it is to schedule a Zoom meeting right from your Outlook environment. To access this functionality, make sure that you have the Zoom Outlook plugin installed in your Microsoft Outlook instance. For more information on how to do this, check out the instructions by following the link in the description below. To start, make sure you're locked into your Zoom desktop application and also have Outlook open. Next, navigate to your calendar view in Outlook. At the top taskbar, you see a button that is called Schedule a Meeting. When you click that, two pop-ups appear. What is the Untitled Meeting invite? And one is the Zoom Settings pop-up window. From here, you can customize the settings for your Zoom meeting by generating a random meeting ID, enabling a waiting room, or update video and audio settings. Once you're done, click Save. From there, the Zoom Outlook plugin will copy the meeting details and the settings into your meeting invite, including the Zoom link. Now you can adjust the title, and you can change the start date, as well as the time and the duration. Select the recipients. And lastly, you can add a message in the message body. When you click Send, the meeting will get sent out to the recipients, and it will automatically create a meeting invite in your calendar view.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, giving everybody welcome to another edition of TheAxisToTrade.com Nightly Wrap-Up Show. I hope everybody had a good day of trading, some good value today. Not as much as you would think as far as quantity. We'll talk about that in a second. Again, we say this all the time. It's not a matter if the market is open. If the market is open, make sure you're getting the value. And today is a perfect example of why trading channels, and again, if anybody's been watching this kind of broadcast for a while, you kind of know that the PS60 has nothing to do with daily charts. Yes, daily charts are very, very important, and they will give you the opportunity to see a macro picture. But at the end of the day, you can take advantage both on the bottom range and the middle range, what we call quote, unquote, the sneaky pivots. And when you get an aggressive move like this in the markets, and again, you look at the scoreboard, you know, it looked pretty bad, right? You got almost 2% losses pretty much all across the board, a little less on all the indexes, but more or less, you know, you're going to have a lot of really bad looking charts. And the problem with the initial technical damage of any type of market, and again, again, this is, you can call this the coronavirus reversal, whatever you want to call it, right? Whatever you want to recall it. The most important part is when you get a market that's going up in a very, very aggressive, linear way, and you're going to get the initial early stages of a downward type of sentiment, you're going to, it's going to take a lot of time to get very, very clean channels to the downside. Because again, most charts are way above their 200 day moving average, 100 day moving average. So you're, it's going to take some time. So a lot of people, for example, a lot of novice investors say, well, wait a minute, when the market goes up, the market's up 100 points is by the market. When the market's down 100 points, the short the market doesn't work that way. We all know that. So it does take a lot of time for charts to kind of play themselves out that you can have a technical point to the downside. And when you look at today's action, and especially, you know, just to give you a perfect example, when you look at today's action, you'll notice, again, my comments here in the morning were, well, the value today will be to the upside. Again, when we had a 400 point decline, again, the spread of concern is obviously, you know, scary. Right? We discussed this on last night's video. You know, a lot of people that have nothing to do with the market are getting nervous. Okay. And again, if we believe this will be contained over a couple of weeks, or at least some of the worrisome comments are going to start dying down in the next couple of weeks, then this will turn out to be just kind of a blip on the radar, just like every other health concern we've had in the last several years. And again, like we talked about in the last night's video. So it's very important, you know, speaking from the technical point of view, from the trading side of it, is to put yourself in a situation that you could take advantage on both, you know, the long side and the short side. And again, when you have a 400 point decline, and we discussed these levels, you know, we discussed this level last night in the video, this, you know, 221, 60s level. This wasn't even a conversation today. Okay. The bad part what the market did today, although it wasn't one of these thousand point declines, which again, the market could easily do at any time just because of the in nature of the aggressive focus of how much the market went down. From a bullish point of view, from a quote unquote, half glass full point of view, you could turn around and say, Well, you know, it wasn't that bad, the market gap down, it kind of sat in a range. It did attempt the rally, and the market did stabilize some sort of aggression from the bear side, right from the bear side, you could turn around and say, Well, wait a minute, you got, you have all this wall of worry. Okay. Okay. People are starting to get sick. They're finding cases now, pretty much, not only in China, we're getting more cases, a couple more cases, I believe, in the United States, the market has gotten linear, the market needs to pull back, it has to pull back. This is a reason the market pulled back. And again, from the, again, from the technical point of view, this is the first close, okay, first close underneath this rise in support. Again, if you believe in the theory that stocks trade from supply to supply and demand to demand to demand, well, this is the next layer of potential measured potential. Again, nobody wants to talk about, it will get there. This is, you're talking about another eight points on the queues. But again, is it possible? Of course it's possible. Again, just by the nature of the aggressive move that we had to the upside. So I think this type of market will give good opportunity on most days. The problem is most traders don't trade the stocks with the biggest range. What they do is usually trade the stocks with the hottest news, right? So if you look at, for example, today, what's the quote unquote hot stocks, right? These, these Corona plays, right? This APT and this, what was it, Lake and Shmake and NNVC and great, you know, this is your thing. If you want to chase these things, if you want to short these things, God bless.  That's not my game. But what is our game is we trade, again, continue to trade the same names that just happen to have the biggest ranges, the Tesla's of the world, the Netflix of the world, the Amazons, the BY and these. And because, because we trade these stocks, they have the biggest average true range on most sessions, right? And most sessions through any trading day, the idea of trading them when the market becomes more uncertain, less cloudy, more aggressive, it's not a, you know, it's not something exotic to us. So for example, a trading range, an average range on Tesla these days, it's not anything, you know, it's not anything exotic to me. It's absolutely normal. So when you look at an average trading day of Tesla versus the average trade of Tesla in this type of environment, will it be a little bit more aggressive? It will be. But again, it's not something that's crazy for us. It's absolutely normal and it's just business as usual, because again, we're not trading the company. Okay, we are trading the ranges, both to the upside, to the downside, and that's where we get value. And the most ironic part about today's session was as, as bad as it looked like, right, it really is bad as it looked like. And again, they took down a lot of really aggressive names today. Okay. But what I like, what I saw today was number one, speculation money continue to roll in. And if you see the call buying, right, if you see the call buying on Tesla, on BY and D, even names that haven't reported yet, the market is still giving the benefit of the doubt until those companies, you know, until those companies resort. So you're not getting this massive selling in Facebook, you're not getting this massive selling in Apple, you're not getting this massive selling in Tesla, because again, they still haven't reported it. Well, again, what happens after, again, let's not put the cart in front of the horse, but you have to like the least benefit of the doubt. Again, is that going to translate into higher prices after the earnings? Nothing guarantees anything. Okay. But these are, again, clues, at least clues from sentiment that we have to collect every single day to make sure that, again, we're thinking logically, not thinking on outside reality. And today, like, you know, like I said, I thought there was going to be value to the upside. The last thing I wanted to do today was short Amazon down 30 ahead of earnings. The last thing I wanted to do was short, you know, Tesla 20 down 25 pre market ahead of earnings, shorting beyond, you know, beyond ahead of earnings. So by the way, this is a very, very odd name. There was very, very weird dates all over the place. Somehow, some sources had BYND reporting today. Some sources had them reporting in February. Some sources had them reporting in March. So nobody's really tied down an actual earnings date for it. But that didn't, again, that didn't lead the aggressive buyers. Again, we saw today 130 call buyers, 150 call buyers, 160 call buyers, very, very aggressive. You had $15, $16 million worth of order flow, continued order flow today in Tesla. Okay, you had the 600, the 605, the 625s, all short expiration with millions of dollars.  Okay, just to give you an example of how much aggressive strength there was going into Tesla, right? Just let me give you, just to give you an example here. Yeah, I mean, this is just kind of like in the middle of the day, you saw the July 700s, and then you started seeing weekly, right, weekly expirations, the 6, I mean, look at the money, right, look at the premium, 1.8 million, 2.7 million, 2.4 million. So very, I mean, very, very aggressive call buying, continued in the name. And I'll tell you that the guys who bought the bottom today, okay, the guys who really bought the bottom today, down 25 points, down 20 points. They really caught a major, major bounce. And again, Tesla at one point was like 30, 40 cents away from going green. And that was the most impressive part. And if you look at the Twitter feed today, right, if you look at the private Twitter feed today, all this, right, this is it, literally three stocks confirmed today. But again, when we say this all the time, it's not how many you trade, it's how many you trade properly. So I want to kind of reverse engineer this.  This was the first pivot on Tesla, an incredibly aggressive pivot. You had 547, 50, 548. I said, hey, if this thing can build, I believe this thing could have got to like 552. And the first move on Tesla was incredibly strong, right? So here was the 547, right? Here was the 547 and a half, 548. First trade went perfectly right to 552. And then I tweeted out, I kept on tweeting in my personal account just to see exactly how stocks trade from range to range to range. And I said, hey, this thing can reclaim 552, it could go to 555, goes to 555. And then I said, hey, if this thing can reclaim 555, it could go to 559, goes to 559. And I said, the last one that says once it reclaims 559, there's a punches chance it could go to 562, 563. And look at the days high. Look at the days high, went to 564, just a really, really impressive move. Beyond was awesome today. I thought Beyond was a really, really good trader. Pre-market, we saw the news that because of their initial test with Denny's, now they're going to be available. I forgot what date it is. January, excuse me, I forgot what date, but they're going to roll out to 1700 Denny location. So 121, here it is, 121 needs to build. I was in BYND twice, they caught up pretty well today. BYND, we talked about that 121, 121, right? So this whole area here was 121 exploded, right? Absolutely exploded. And then I started tweeting out, again, if you go to my personal account, I started tweeting out levels on BYND. I thought it had a shot to get to 24. It went to 26. My second entry was off that 26 area. And I thought it had a shot to get to like 28 and change. I sold it, wait, let me sell my highs. My last one, it was like $1.60 or so. So that was fine as well. So I was pretty happy. I was pretty happy with the two entries in BYND. This is where I screwed up a little bit. So if you guys remember yesterday, we talked about the 128 breakdown on Roku. It opened up below like 126 premarkas. I already knew mentally I was going to chase it down. Again, not the way he chased it down, like a new trader would chase a trade. But I knew the lower it got, especially premarket that I needed to confirm, I knew it was going to be a more challenging trade. But I did believe it was going to get down to like the 123. I think I said 123.70s. And the problem was I missed the 28. I missed the 26. I didn't do the 25.5, right? I didn't do the 25.5. I started entering closer to 25 and it went down like 40, 50 cents and it just couldn't remount. It just couldn't remount in time. The buyers came back in and at the same time, which was a very, very annoying at the same time as the trade started to work, right? And started to coming back and started building a little bit of 25. You started seeing the 120 puts come in, right? Short-term expiration for the 120 puts. I said, all right, it's just a matter of time. It's going to go. And they just couldn't remount that 125 more aggressively. So I wound up taking an 80 cent loss, which if I actually looked back at the trade setup, and this was kind of bothering me as it was happening. If I looked back at the setup and just did a remount off that 126 level the second time around, I would have still been in that trade or worse case scenario, I would have been, you know, flat on the trade or maybe taking a smaller position because the damn thing an hour later went all the way back down to the 123 area. So kind of the point of the trade, kind of where I screwed up. And I wound up losing like 81 cents in the trade. It wasn't the end of the world. The point is the more I think about the setup, right? The more I think about the setup, I think I chased it down a little more. Even though the premise was right, I think I lost my edge once I started chasing it down closer down to the 125 area with a very, very small appreciation left. So kind of looking back at it, I'm trying to just try to voice my it's almost like therapeutic. I'm trying to voice my opinion speaking out loud. But the more I think about it, I think I kind of screwed up just by the interval shrinking in my exposure was getting bigger as the stock was getting lower. So something to kind of think about going into tomorrow's session. But overall, can't really complain. I think going into tomorrow will be the same kind of days today. You're not going to get very clean charts. But again, Tesla is one day before earnings. It's going to have a big, big range. BYND is going to have a big, big range. Let me give you guys a couple of names that are not beta that I do like for tomorrow's session. Okay. Let me give you guys a couple of names for tomorrow's session that I do like. Let's see here. Yeah, I kind of like this BT, BT AI for non beta names. I kind of like this thing. It's kind of going in this little pattern here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven tomorrow will be day eight, almost two weeks of consolidation. If it could start building about 1785-18, you could get a push depending how weak or strong the market is. MNTA looks interesting as well. First close over the five day moving average. Again, it's very, very bullish. If it could reclaim tomorrow 2890-29, you might get a next leg up. And I kind of like this MCFT, right? First close over supply. I think if it could reclaim this like 1815-1820 level, you could get your next leg up. Obviously, please guys get into morning strategy early tomorrow. We'll talk about Tesla, obviously, and Netflix and BYND and Amazon and Facebook and everything in between. For all you guys are joining us tomorrow, please get to morning strategy at 9 a.m. Eastern time. We'll start out and hopefully we'll have another quality session. Guys, have a good night. Everybody, I'll see you tomorrow. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading. You're one step closer to owning your future and achieving the success you desire.

Thirty-seven English words for describing a person's appearance from espressoenglish.net. In this lesson, you're going to expand your vocabulary with thirty-seven words to describe a person's appearance. Let's begin with the word beautiful. In English, this word is mostly used for women. We use the word handsome for men. To describe beautiful women, we also have the words pretty, lovely, gorgeous, and stunning. Stunning means extremely beautiful, like a woman who is so beautiful that she attracts a lot of attention. Another expression to describe a woman like this is to say that she turns heads, implying that when she walks down the street, people turn their heads to focus their attention on her. The words attractive, good-looking, cute, and hot can be used for both men and women. Cute is a more playful word to say a person is attractive. We often use cute for children and baby animals. And the word hot is a slang word that you should only use during informal conversations among friends. It means someone is attractive and sexy. The opposite of beautiful or handsome is ugly, but that's a strong word. So most people express this idea using the negative form of one of the positive words. For example, she's not very attractive, or he's not so good-looking. Finally, there are the words plain and average.  Okay, now let's learn some words to describe body shape and size.  A person who is fat can also be described as overweight, heavy, big, or large.   The word curvy has a more positive connotation, like the woman has a full, feminine body with curves. If you want to say a specific part of the body is fat, you can say it is flabby.  We typically use flabby for arms, stomach, thighs, and butt. The opposite of fat is thin. Some alternative words are slim, slender, skinny, lean, wiry, petite, and lanky. In general, thin, slim, and slender are more positive, whereas skinny is often used as a criticism or a negative point. What about a person with an athletic body? You can describe him or her as muscular, fit, strong, in good shape, or ripped. Ripped is a slang word meaning that the person has very well-defined and visible muscles.

Okay, we're back, we're alive, we're so happy to be here on Energy in America every other Wednesday. And this time we have Jeff Kissel from E-Pring who has written a paper, we're going to talk about the paper. Welcome to the show, Jeff Kissel. Thank you, Jay. Aloha. Kako. It's nice to be back even though I'm only halfway between Washington, D.C. and Honolulu. I'd like to introduce you to Keisha King. She's co-host today, she's one of our hosts here at Think Tech and she has agreed to sit with me on this and other shows to help me host and I really appreciate that. So say hello to each other. Hello, Jeff. So good to see you. Keisha, it's wonderful to see you and it's nice to enjoy some company with Jay. You know, he and I have had some great times together over the last 47 years. 47 years. He's not kidding. It's a true statement. He's not kidding. I'm not kidding. Yeah. And we were 9 when we met, yeah. Oh, wow. You were saying, Jeff. So it's wonderful to have someone introduce some new topics and new ideas to the conversation because, you know, Jay and I talk about things that we remember which usually involves landmarks that were torn down 40 years ago. I can imagine. It's true. It's all true. And it's sweet though. These memories are sweet. Hawaii is loaded with nostalgia, so many things. So, you know, you have written a paper about energy.  We're on for some years around it about energy and the technology of energy. And now you wrote a paper which I find a very provocative title. It's called Consequences of Resource Pessimism. Gee whiz, that makes your head spin about what you might want to talk about. So let me turn it over to you, Jeff, and you can tell us. Well, look, that's a scholarly paper. And it wasn't actually me. It was one of my colleagues at the Energy Policy Research Foundation who took the time and the effort to put together quite a wonderful document which we certainly are glad to make available on your website. What I did, though, is I took it apart a little bit and changed it so that we could really get a hold of the topics and make them relevant to Hawaii. And resource pessimism is another way of saying, oh my goodness, we're going to run out of space. We're going to run out of food. We're going to run out of energy. You know, eventually the 10 billion people who are due to be living in this environment on our planet in another 10 or 20 years are supposed to not be able to make it because we're going to run out of stuff. And if we think that way, which I understand why people do think that way, we will end up making some really dangerous policy decisions, kind of like the ones that have been made in Hawaii and are being made in a number of states, including the one where I live, which is California. That is, we're going to run out of clean air. We're going to run out of oil. We're going to run out of food. And as a result, we've got to make a major change without giving proper thought to the consequences of that change. So I brought some slides around because Hawaii has made a change in their energy policy, which is already having very serious unintended consequences. And Hawaii has decided, what, seven or eight years ago now that it will become independent of hydrocarbons. Now I'm using that word quite deliberately because Hawaii calls it fossil fuels. It's not. Hydrocarbons are carbon-based energy sources. And those include the fossil fuels, oil, coal, that sort of thing. But it also includes methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon, but most of the methane on Earth was here when the planet came together, when it coagulated from cosmic dust. And so that would really make me nostalgic.  Not quite that far, but close, you know. Because you and I had alternate weeks when we mowed the lawn in the garden of Eden. Cute. But I'm curious though, what is the difference between the... So are you saying fossil fuel does not have methane in it at all? A fossil fuel contains methane. But methane is huge. There's a moon of Jupiter made out almost entirely of methane. Methane is a naturally occurring substance in the universe. And it's a hydrocarbon. It burns. And it's essentially natural gas. So natural gas can come from decaying plant matter, but it also is naturally occurring in the universe. And natural gas makes most of the electricity in the United States to death. That's a remarkable change in the world. That's a remarkable change. It wasn't that way a few years ago. We have been involved in a revolution about natural gas, haven't we? Right. Most of the natural gas in the United States, of course, came from beneath the surface. And it came from naturally forming formations. And they were, generally speaking, decaying plant matter. Now that we have explored unconventional gas, that's getting back to the stuff that was here when the planet was formed. And that stuff is a lot cleaner than coal. It's certainly not 100% clean. But it's also a very economical way to extract energy and use it for the benefits of all of us while we are developing alternative technologies. Jeff, you want to use your slides?  You want to refer to them? I would love to put some slides out. OK. So this one is entitled, 2019 Fuel Isolation Policy, Impacting Energy Costs in a Hawaii Economy. I don't want to throw you off your track of discussion, but refer to them as you will. Sure. So let's go to the next slide in the pack and talk about what's happening. Hawaii declared itself, quote, fossil fuel independent. And what it really is is an anti-hydrocarbon policy, which means it wants only renewable energy resources. That would be primarily in Hawaii, wind and solar, some plant matter, you know, biodiesel and ethyl... I'm sorry, I missed the word. Synthetic plant fuels and things like that. Well, what that means is that you've taken the energy equation and said, OK, I'm going to make an investment only in non-hydrocarbon, non-fossil fuel energy. I don't even like what they're doing at Pune Geothermal. Well, that limits your choices. And it also concentrates your bet. It's like taking all of your money in your IRA and buying one stock and hoping that you can make your retirement on that. Well, that consequence is really terrible and the problems that it's going to present are now beginning to develop in the Hawaii economy. Because renewable resources in the definition that's being used in Hawaii are very high-cost relative to conventional resources that are hydrocarbon-based. Effectively, we are taxing ourselves in Hawaii and using that money to pay higher energy costs. So we're limiting our investment capital. We can't invest it in education. We can't invest it in a lot of other things. For an example, helping the homeless. And so we're also limiting the number of jobs that are growing in Hawaii and contributing, as you may have read in the papers recently, to the intellectual exodus from Hawaii. The National Press is watching Hawaii as it aims for 100% renewable energy. And they're wondering what the consequences are likely to be. What I hear you saying when it resonates for me is I'm into diversity. I'm into diversity of sources of energy. And we've always talked about that. I mean, for as long as renewable energy has been on the table, we've also talked about having a broadly diverse portfolio. And you don't want to get stuck on one thing. But I agree with you that there's a definitional problem here. People only talk about clean energy in a very limited context where they really shouldn't. The other point I want to make, and it drives off what you were saying, is that energy touches everything. It touches everything. You can't look at energy in a silo because it has a direct effect on the economy. It has a direct effect on our quality of life. And we must consider it alongside other issues, especially economic issues, quality of life issues. And we can't just pour money into it without dealing with other planning issues that we need to address. You're absolutely right. And just take a quick look at the next slide because it's going to bring it home to Hawaii. It's very important. The very first cruise ship powered by liquefied natural gas was just delivered to Carnival cruise lines. That ship cannot pick up fuel in Hawaii. It may not need to because it has a longer range than it would need just to stop and be fuel-dependent on Hawaii like airplanes are. But it means that Hawaii will not generate any revenue from any of the work to bring the fuel in, to deliver the fuel, to put the fuel on the ship. And Carnival cruise lines may decide that it's not economic to call in Hawaii. I know Keisha is going to ask you a question about this. You're going to say, do you really think that, assuming the availability of the LNG fuel, that this is the future, that cruise ships powered by LNG, that's what we're going to see increasingly? I know she's going to ask you that. Well, I was thinking of asking you that, Jeff, because I'm very curious. This is the first. What records or what history do we have to show the sustainability of something like this and what great effect it may have in the places that it has worked? Do we have any record or documentation for that? It's a terrific question. And what's happening now, if you look at the next slide, I provided some statistics. I know you peaked at the next slide, so that's why you're asking this wonderful question. Here's what's happening. The fleet, the industrial and the cruise fleet is converting now to liquefied natural gas for a variety of reasons. In addition to the fact it's cost-effective, the fuel standards, and I'm not going to read all of this, incidentally, I do want to call your attention to one point. Crowley Maritime operates in and around Hawaii, and they're not going to be able to fuel their vessels in Hawaii. They're going to have to fuel them somewhere else. The jobs relating to fueling those vessels are going to be somewhere else. So if you go to the next slide, I'll explain one of the reasons why LNG is becoming an important fuel in the world shipping industry. And that is that the International Maritime Organization has decreed, and this is the organization that governs all shipping in the world, has decreed that the amount of sulfur in the fuel can't be more than one-half of one percent. And most fossil fuels, hydrocarbons, diesel, don't meet that standard. LNG does. So it's a huge incentive to build new ships that operate on LNG versus conventional fuel. So in addition to the fact that it's less costly, Keisha, the answer is the regulations are putting it there, just like the regulations have changed the way you and I drive vehicles so that we can't drive a 500-horsepower, 12-mile-per-gallon vehicle without paying the cost and the consequences. Well, that being the case, all that being the case, Jeff, what could, should, would Hawaii have to do in order to be able to provide LNG to these ships? The infrastructure to install LNG is relatively cost-effective, but it needs permitting and it needs government support. And right now, not only does it not have government support, it has opposition from the state government. So getting the infrastructure in place, other than the small-scale LNG that the gas company is using, is going to be a big challenge without the support from government. So why then do we have this pushback from the government? Why wouldn't they just immediately make the adjustments and the changes if it's so economical and important? Now, that's a hard question. Government... I think it's a loaded question, right? Government is complicated because what's logic to me is not necessarily logic to very well-meaning, very dedicated public servants who are helping us run our government. And it takes time and I encourage public debate. I know it's unpopular not to be a populist, but really I think public debate and public discussion is really important to these issues. And rather than shut it down by making a decree that fossil fuels slash hydrocarbons are not the way of the future, I would encourage government to foster the environment where these issues, even nuclear, could be debated and understood in an open and unbiased environment. Essentially, that's what the Energy Policy Research Foundation is all about. We're not advocates for any one solution. We're advocates for public discourse. I feel like we're zeroing in on what you mean or the authors of that paper mean when they say consequences of resource pessimism, because sometimes pessimism is not logical and there is no good evidence for it. But let's take one minute break, Jeff, and Kisha will take one minute break and we'll come back and we'll find out more about what has happened, is happening, and will happen with regard to this pessimism and to LNG. We'll be right back. We'll look forward to it. See you in a minute. See you in a minute. Aloha.

We'd be grateful if you'd go to thinktechhawaii.com and make a donation to support us now. Thanks so much. Thanks so much. Okay. We're back. We're live with Jeff Kissel and Keisha King talking about pessimism and we have some slides to go yet, you know, in trying to understand what a proper portfolio should be in these times. Because times change, right, Jeff? They certainly do. And you have to excuse me. I was busy for a moment making my contribution to thinktechhawaii because I think it's a valuable resource and worthy of Hawaii citizens supporting it wherever we live. Thank you very much, Jeff. Thank you. In many ways. Yeah, let's take a look at the next slide because I think it's got some information that is important. Let's think about what happens if we shut ourselves off from LNG, which is one of the fastest growing capital investments in the world. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested in moving this greener, more efficient and cleaner energy product all over the Pacific except for Hawaii. Because Hawaii has decided to exclude it from its portfolio, it faces higher oil prices, a drain on the capital from the economy. It also slows down the implementation of renewables because the money isn't available to invest in solar and wind, which are expensive. And it pushes the cost of those renewable resources up. The only way I know to change that profile is to acknowledge that we really need to diversify our energy sources and mitigate the impact. And on the next slide, I talk about some of the jobs that are not going to be available because Hawaii has decided to exclude LNG, especially from its port as a port of call. So we will not have the jobs to fuel the ships in the harbor. We won't have the jobs involved in freight forwarding. The professional building trades, the welders, the electricians, the safety people that are needed to support an LNG infrastructure are not going to be there. And as a result, tourism will suffer and support services will suffer. One thing that strikes me is that on this show, Energy in America, we have often described with you and Lou Fulirisi, the prospect of American export of LNG to all of Asia, through Japan and I guess, you know, to all of Asia. And so if assuming that happens, assuming that is all packaged and we have LNG going back and forth, Hither and Yon across the Pacific, it seems to me that if Hawaii doesn't get involved in that, we somehow will be affected by turning our backs on LNG while LNG is crisscrossing the Pacific. Am I right? What do you think about that? LNG will bypass Hawaii, just like the trans-specific airlines have unfortunately in large part bypassed Hawaii for commerce, even though people are flocking to Hawaii for tourism purposes. And it's a total shame and it's totally unnecessary. The deficit that China suffers, sorry, the deficit that we suffer with China is approximately $100 billion a year. China imports $300 billion a year in energy from various sources. Certainly some of that could be filled by U.S. domestic gas in the form of LNG. I want to go back for a second, Jeff, and talk about the loss of jobs. I kind of feel like this is the middle-class America that is going to be affected the greatest when we talk about tourism. We're talking about average Americans, their hotel industry, welders. These are your average Americans who are being affected by this, whereas it seems as diversification is the simple solution and it also seems as if this isn't talked about enough and on the forefront. Would you agree? You're correct. Hawaii had a very diverse economy up through the 1980s when agriculture and other industries were part of its diverse workforce. We had machinists, welders, electricians who did a lot of sophisticated work in the plantations and the shipyards and other places, and these industries shared this labor, this highly skilled labor. If we could bring energy back into the forefront, it would be an industry that could share skilled labor that would benefit all of Hawaii's industries from tourism through, for example, the Pearl Harbor Shipyard, which is the least competitive highest-cost shipyard in the whole Navy system in the world today. That goes back to the point I was trying to get at before. You can't look at energy in a silo. It's connected to everything in our world, and so we have to see the issue about jobs. We have to appreciate that. There have been assurances and aspirations about having an energy industry that actually employs a lot of people. Back from going to nostalgia again, back to the time of the early ought years, about all these jobs that we're going to cover. We don't have that many jobs in energy. We have to find a way, figure out a way, so that energy becomes an industry that employs a lot of people, affects a lot of people, and does a lot of what do you want to call it, nutrition through the middle-class job market. We haven't yet figured that out. Well, think about it, Jay. The more skilled labor that exists on the island of Oahu, the island of Maui, the island of Hawaii, Kauai, and the others, the lower the cost will be for you and I if we want to put solar panels on our roof, if we want to put windmills in wind farms, if we want to develop other alternate sources of energy, because those skilled workers make putting those renewable, purely renewable resources in place at a lower cost for all of us, and it drives our economic engine, and it gets the tents off the streets, which is the huge tragedy of this misguided policy that we're now pursuing. Amen to that. So let's go forward with your slides. Are there more? There's just a couple. It's my point. And you notice I've talked about diversification as something that brings about that equals economic security. We're not talking about any one answer. You know, America, ever since the Second World War, has wanted to take my generation, has wanted to take a pill or perform an act or do something, you know, do a workout on a treadmill, or find a fashionable way to diet, you know, where you don't have to put out any effort, you get somebody to clamp down on the size of your stomach, or do something else, a quick and easy solution. There ain't no quick and easy solution. And diversification is one of the most important things we can do in terms of energy supplies and energy investment. And it's called investment for a reason, because it's part of what we get back in the future, not part of our instant gratification for today. I think what I hear you saying is it's all about planning. It's not just looking at it as diversification right now for this moment, but it's looking at it as a planning point going forward. It's wrapping our minds around things that will come up in the future, wrapping our minds around options that relate to other options. It's being smart, isn't it? It is being smart, and it's being alert to the changes that are going to be occurring and observing them, and responding to them in a rational manner, and doing something tomorrow for a reason other than it's just because we did it yesterday. I love that point. You do something tomorrow that is going to affect the future, not doing the same thing that you've always done simply because you've always done it. I think, and another point I wanted to bring up about the liquid natural gas is that there is enough of it to supply the world if I'm not mistaken. Would you agree with that? But by the same token, we don't want to invest in just that because it happens to be handy and cheap today because it certainly won't be in the future if that's the way we treat it. We want to diversify it so that, like anything else, there can be competition, and we certainly don't want to put more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere than is absolutely essential to get up to the point where we're reducing the level of greenhouse gases. Well, let me offer the thought that LNG and, you know, the American supply of LNG is a significant phenomenon in the world today. It didn't exist a few years ago, and the world is waiting for energy. The health of the global economy depends on energy, and so having this supply and building out infrastructure to deliver it in various places in the world, the whole world, actually, assures American leadership in global affairs. It's part of soft power. It's part of being a leader in the economic global economy, isn't it? You've touched on that, but I wonder what your thoughts are on it. Well, it is. And, you know, Hawaii had, for many, many years, led the nation in some of its fundamental principles and core values and implementing, for an example, health insurance for everybody, the first state to ratify fortunately it was not successful, the Equal Rights Amendment for Women, things like that. And I'd like to see Hawaii get back to the forefront of leading this country at least in developing more humane core values and forward-thinking thoughts and not being as provincial as it is today in its energy policy because it's weakening our influence on the world. It's also weakening our own economy. Wow, couldn't put it better than that. You know what? It's our time. That's right. It's our time to close. We want to thank you so much, Jeff Kissel, for being with us today. It was great to meet you, but it was enlightening to have this very important discussion and we hope to hear more from you about it. You've been watching us today, right here with our very own Think Tech Hawaii CEO, this guy, Jay Fidel, and we're going to close out today and see you next time on Energy Matters. Aloha.


All right guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new man was Bobby guys today We're gonna watch Bill Mayer tells Mike Tyson what he doesn't like about Islam Of course, we value the opinion of a smoking liberal Jewish man about Islam dearly here on this channel with no further do guys Let's have a look so okay, so you like being married And you're a Muslim. Yeah, is the whole family Muslim Okay, some of my kids with this and um, it's not so you like being married and being Muslim What does one have to do with the other wife and my kids they have to choose what they want to be right? They have to choose you're okay with that. Absolutely. That is not a point of view That is even allowed in many many Muslim countries in the world. There is one religion.  Okay, so part of the story is here what you're saying is that within an Islamic country The highest value is that your children will be raised Islamically as well You are living in a liberal country and therefore your highest value here is that your children will have the Choice to choose whatever they want to be they can choose to be a girl or boy or something in between as well Because liberalism is your God. Let's agree to disagree. I believe I'm not a lot. I Know I'm just saying that's a that's something you're allowed to do here as an American Muslim No, I meant some experience. Um, I'm not gonna stop their growth from something that my growth is extending with right I'm growing with it, but that's not their growth I'm just pointing out that this enlightened point of view is not found Uniformly around the world, you know, you said America's this enlightening point of view Yeah post enlightenment after the French Revolution This is what he's really talking about here knowingly or unknowingly this point of view tells you You don't have to raise your children, but the state can what are you saying here? The father shouldn't impose ideals on to his children Everybody does and so do you you are brainwashing your children if you have children at all I don't know into liberalism where you tell them it is all about Individualism is all about their personal freedom. This is the highest value within your society This is what it means to be an American apparently But just because this is the Western American way doesn't make it right and more over yet again You have a double standard here because it is both in Doctrination if you send your children to the school and they tell them it's all right to chop off your pee pee If you feel like a girl today that is indoctrination as well. They're both Educational methods one teaches them. There is only one God the other one tells him there is no God is up to you, bro The greatest that's one reason why the thing that's still great about America is that you can have that You'd be surprised how many Muslims want to come in and I think that we the way we think oh, I'm sure they do Oh, I'm not surprised you'd be surprised.  He doesn't understand that he's been brainwashed in the West in America You can do what you want.   Why do you say? Because they believe in covering themselves. Oh And I'm like you said I got to be don't how much money I got I got to be in this cheap-ass plane We're all the people and talking to these people. There's one thing to modest is one thing Completely covering a woman so you don't see any of her. Well, it's not modest That isn't pathological suppose. She's happy with that. She how do you set the standard for what is modesty in your world? You people can run around almost naked. This is already modest for you. It's not. Oh my god She's not happy. I mean you can brainwash someone into liking anything. That's like Oh, what's that calling in my kid though? If they asked me whether the stock on truth You your kids, how old are you? I have to go from 33 11 okay, so if this is truly the case one has to wonder of course why so many women from the West Reverting to Islam and then freely choose to fully cover bill I'm sure you're with all of them. Yes, and I'm I'm wondering what the discussion is like Is it a lot of real shit? I'm sure it is like it's like this kind of But but but you talk about I mean there's nothing that's off limits, right?  Yeah, everything. What do they say daddy? I saw YouTube. You're with this super Fly no, they go like this What if my kid I have a 13 and what was wrong with you dad? Oh? Right for this video unfortunately Mike Tyson did not defend Islam properly aside from saying that it is modest to Wear a hijab the liberal worldview, which is the dominant worldview here Trump's this discussion bill set the frame of what is right and wrong He said the moral high ground he said the moral standard here of how society should be Don't you understand that this is truly what America does all over the world They are the world police they tell you what is right and wrong by which standard we the people human rights This is not a godly standard. This is man-made. Those are man-made rules based upon a certain Culture based upon a certain people that declared what they like and what they don't like This is it There is no deep intrinsic meaning in those values other than that it works for them It works for their society or at least it used to work back in the good old days However as Muslims we have to understand one thing clearly here those people talk out of ignorance They absolutely brainwashed and moreover. They're not setting the standard their law is based upon men Our law is based on God. We believe that the Sharia. We believe that the Quran is divine revelation from God It is a never-changing rule said that we as Muslims received and we as Muslims follow Islam is never changing and this white is a thorn in the eye of the liberal Of course, this bill guy here would have had a totally different tone 20 30 40 years ago. They're flip-flopping like a leaf in the wind. They're always changing their opinions nowadays some Conservatives are against sex change operations in children mark my words in 30 40 50 years They will be pro sex change operations Of course because that is the freedom of the child led to them choose It is a progress quote-unquote that never stops. It is a degeneration into infinity You have to understand that the West will not stop until it destroyed itself completely But alas pattern is never changing.
