with the Juniper exclusive coverage of their big press announcement in San Francisco, defending your mobile life. Juniper announcing Juno Software Suite for Mobile Security. I'm here with Lauren Flaherty, the CMO. Thanks for coming inside theCUBE. Thank you. We were just talking on our mobile phones. Obviously, Mobility is the killer app. You guys are pretty humble.  Mobile is really here to stay. Obviously, everyone in the marketplace is talking about Google Android, which is an Apple iPhone. I met with Pradeep in Barcelona. We talked extensively about the new network you guys announced in past October and the tsunami of applications that's really driving change, consumer level, forcing change that the service provides, and then the enterprise. For us to research, it was just on earlier talking about how this is all an explosion. Yeah, it sure is. Sure is. So first, take us through your announcement. You gave the kickoff. You introduced Kevin Johnson or KJ, as they called internally, and it gave great presentations. So summarize what was announced. Sure. And then I'd like to get your opinion on a few things. Sure, well, you know, today was focused on mobile security. It is one of, if not the most pervasive issue in tech today because what's happened is, you know, our phones, our mobile devices are the ubiquitous device between our personal lives and our professional lives. And if you go back actually a year ago, we can talk about that if you want in terms of the vision we cast for the new network and the capabilities and principles that we want to articulate about the new network. Today is just another major milestone on that strategy.  So today was about launching, you know, the most pervasive set of mobile security capabilities in terms of the number of OS platforms runs on. So, you know, basically every major device in the industry coupled with a really rich set of service features that are going to be key both to enterprise customers as well as consumers. Juniper's a technology company, okay, known for moving data around networks, kind of geeky stuff, I mean, add a new port to the router, you know, new stuff here and there, but you guys really have nailed the positioning since you announced the new network. It's been about openness and companies like Oracle getting kind of trashed out there for being kind of closed and, you know, there's an open, closed kind of mindset and you guys really kind of nailed that. And now with mobility, the demand, you guys made the right call on that. Absolutely. Is this just an extension of that? The new network? Is it just an extension of what we saw in Barcelona? It even goes back earlier. I mean, if you were literally to look at the work that we started to communicate, literally October 29th of last year, we're coming up on the year anniversary of the new network platform for us as a marketing platform. And if you literally went back to that ad that ran in the Wall Street Journal, we really, you know, sort of singled out the key areas that we would focus on. And we talked about how in the new network, you know, the underpinning is software. You know, what did we say? We said it was about the brains, not the box. And so if you look at from there what we did at Mobile World Congress in terms of talking about mobility as it relates to service providers, capabilities on the edge. And then what we even earmarked back at that point was that Pulse was launched and Pulse was about enabling security at the endpoint connected to the enterprise in a way that's really simple for customers to use whether they're a business professional or whether they're, you know, just using the phone in their sort of day-to-day life. But I think that the real insight is in, you know, looking at these capabilities from the standpoint of knowing what the enterprises need with mobile workforces, knowing what the service providers need in terms of you as a consumer, what kind of protection do you want for your device? And so, you know, today's announcement is really just a reaction to working very closely with key partners and delivering on the promise, which is we think a secure mobile network. You guys have been doing secure networks for a long time. The edge endpoint used to be the branch office. The remote branch office. Or we work at home, DSL or cable, internet access. A PC, basically. How did you guys get your company and then your messaging to extend to mobile? Because it's kind of the same thing, but it's a little bit different. Because you have diversity of access, similarities. What's fun about today is certain announcements, certain product capabilities can really make your strategy come alive. And I think that's what Pulse is doing today, which is, you know, we all relate to the fact that this has become, you know, the ubiquitous device for work and for play and for education. And so, you know, what you start to see is through Pulse offering, Mobile Security Suite specifically, you start to get a better understanding of what Juniper brings to the infrastructure capability, right, the things that consumers don't care so much about. But then that how relates in terms of ways that a consumer or business professional really will care about. And what's interesting is about the feature set, you know, is easier to use why? Because it's backend integrated on the part of this that's the plumbing that folks don't care about. For the administrators, for the folks that have to manage all this remote wipe and all these capabilities we talked about today. It's been designed with now, you know, seven, eight years of leadership in the security space. So, you know, when Juniper shows up, particularly with these kinds of offerings, we're bringing an awful lot of service provider and carrier class know-how to the mix to what is now a consumer and enterprise offering. You guys are very impressive how you've extended out your kind of core competency and networks to the service providers who are in need. As Pradeep and I were talking about there, under tsunami of apps, they lost control. But there's this fabulous collision going on, right?  And what you love about Juniper's positioning is that, and this is from a marketing point of view, very powerful, is everything that's coming out of the labs from the get-go, there was a line of sight to the market forces that we see today. So there is no legacy for us. We're a 14-year-old company and that's enabling us to really take advantage of doing things, like you say, in an open environment, highly integrated, platform-oriented. It's really a core part of our differentiation. One of the things I really think you guys got right now, I'd like you to expand on a little bit further for us out there, is you've had this enablement strategy. You know, the software open source, you know, it's all great, yeah, it's all industry stuff. But let's take it to the consumer. I'm a father of four and I have a teenager who's a sophomore in high school, down to a third grader. I also run my own business. We have workers, we're all mobile.  You just walk us through, because that's a consumer mindset and I know obviously you're in marketing so you're in charge of all this, talk us through that enablement. Because mobile and cloud, this cloud collision as you mentioned, is enabling new stuff, a new economy, new workers redistribution of wealth, all this IT recession, busting, a new mindset. So walk us through those use cases and then your philosophy on this future enablement. So you know, we had three, the three personas. We had the office worker, you know, we had the mom, or the parent. The mom one I liked the most. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, as a parent, I am a focus group here. I'm definitely the target audience. And then we had the road warrior. And what's really interesting about those scenarios is, you know, I would say, I would speak for myself, but I'm not alone, I'm all three of those. I'm an office worker, I'm a mom, and I'm a road warrior. And what we did was we selected the applications. And I think this is really what's key, John, because what's making things like cloud and all of the sort of hype that goes on in our category come alive ultimately is expressed in the form of the applications. Because that's when you can relate to the benefit. And I think if there's anything that we are improving our hand on from a messaging and a marketing point of view is what's the benefit, right? And so the reason for taking our three personas and using them here today, and we'll have that on the web, et cetera, is to help folks identify with the capability. It's a slice of life. It is a slice of life. And in the case of the mom, what I love about protect and defend. The notion is, as parents, and I think the video did a really nice job, as parents we enable our children with these devices and our instincts are to protect them. And what we've all learned in the last couple of years is that actually they become an access point to our children that we have to be very thoughtful about how to get them to the right information and actually protect them from the wrong kinds of inputs that could potentially be hurtful to them. So I think this slice of life is a good way of putting it is just a way of helping people see what are the technology capabilities we're bringing to the service providers? It's the consumerization of everything. Yeah, it is. IT is only one element of it. What I like about the scenarios, it was a slice of three scenarios which categorically represent everything, if you think about it. And everybody, I mean most of us are out there working, traveling and looking after somebody. The consumerization of IT and the consumerization of technology is a digital life. And I love the slogan, defending your digital life. And one of the things we've been covering is to look at an angle. We were just at New York City for Hadoop World, which is a big kind of an open source conference. We had Tim O'Reilly inside the Cube and we were talking about data analytics, some of the things that Forrester was mentioning. But one of the things that I think is teasing out of this is what is our life? Mobility for the first time really represents someone's life. Where it's kind of like, remember the old days, digital wallet? I mean, digestural data, my text messages, the photos I'm viewing, the geo check-ins that I'm doing, my Facebook statuses. This is now a personal data vault. It's valuable and very intimate. It's also professional. I thought what Dave Merrill from IBM shared with us today was really interesting, which is why is IBM deploying? Well, they've got a huge mobile workforce and they want to be able to ensure that those folks are highly productive, but also secure in what they're transmitting back and forth in terms of across the network from their device. And so I think the interesting thing for us from a message today is that this offering is targeted very much to business professionals on the go, as well as to the service providers who will ultimately sell it as a consumer offering as they refine, and again I thought Mark Predison from BT said it well, which is as they refine their understanding of what features and functionality the consumers want for their personal use, those offerings will be made available and the beauty of what Pulse does in the mobile security suite, it gives them this really broad range. And I think that's what we think was missing. The two dimensions that we think that we filled in terms of a market gap was one, the broadest range of devices because some folks might use an iPhone, some folks might use a BlackBerry and they're the same individual, but they've got to manage across different OSs, so that's a reality. And then the other piece is the different kinds of functional capability you want for security and based upon what we've seen in the category and what's out there today, we know that what we've announced today is really unmatched by anybody else. And the competition too, let's talk about everyone else. The other ones tend to be point solutions. Yeah, they're a little more piecemeal. Device-centric, you guys are taking any device, which in a way is, Tyson's one of the biggest buzzwords we've been hearing in the past 24 months is the real-time internet. What is the real-time internet? Try to do that if you don't have a single operating system, by the way. It's different per person, so you really can't project what someone's value is. I mean, I've always said the real-time web and it's about real-time value. So what does that mean? That means mobility. And you can't really predict what that real-time value is for a teenager, for a mom, for a business. So I think you guys are onto this real-time value piece. I think it's interesting. And the other one is this digital life. And no one's talking about that. So I'm really impressed. So congratulations. Well, thank you. We're really excited about today's news. The performance and any good feedback from your partners on this? What's the general feedback? In fact, I've just been picking up post the formal sort of part of today's session and feedback both from our partners, but in particular the analysts out there who were covering the event and members of the media, which is this is the most comprehensive offering set on the broadest platform in the industry today. And that makes first for Junipera and first is always good. Talk to the people up at the podium with you. You had IBM, big enterprise. I mean, it's as diverse as you can come. The monster company, big, huge. AT&T. We all know AT&T. Key part of their strategy is mobile security. I mean, absolutely. British Telecom, global footprint. And they play it on both dimensions, right? They offer, as all service providers will, they're going to look at this through two lenses. One, from the standpoint of the consumer offering. And the other is from the standpoint as sort of as a managed enterprise service that they'll be enabling through the cloud. So it's a very attractive offering. I think Mark put it well in terms of it provides for them monetization or top line revenue growth. And that's a big part of our strategy is to not only enable them on the bottom line because Junipera has such attractive economics for them on that front, but to really enable the top line revenue growth that they need and to change, frankly, the offering sets to really enrich them between service provider and consumer. We're at Lauren Flaherty with CMO of Junipera Networks really enabling innovation at a technical level, product level, business model, innovation. Also end user experience. I think mobility has to be open. You really can't know what's going to be great at the App Store has proven that you never know what can be popular and successful to the eye of the user. So congratulations on your success. Thanks, really appreciate it. Thanks for coming on theCUBE. Thank you very much for your interest. Thank you. We are live at Juniper. British Telecom coming up next. We'll be right back inside theCubeSiliconAngle.com. I'm John Furrier. We're here at the Juniper exclusive coverage of their live event.


Political parties in Oregon State have been urged to maintain peace and avoid things that could lead to breakdown of law and order during their election campaign. The Commissioner of Police in Oregon State, Sikiru Bankoli, met this known in Abiyakuta during the stakeholders meeting with leaders of political parties, independent national electoral commission and stakeholders. The political parties were made to sign peace agreements among themselves, just as they were urged to tolerate one another. The two political parties will have their rallies on the same dates, at the same venue and within the same location. So I would like to appeal to political parties that they should forward their program of political campaigns well ahead to the police. Your campaigns should and must be issue-based, devoid of rancor, violence, name calling and hate speech. When body hosts might or you petition, it will actually be seen what will make others, what will make people not vote one another. And we should be tolerant enough to know that this is part of the game. No politician will come up and vote a mic and be pressing his opponents. It is impossible.


I'm doing I'm doing well. I want a glass of wine. You're more than welcome Should I give us a glass of wine? Sure. All right. I'll be right back. Okay. I might back with wine or whiskey I haven't decided yet Ooh, you got whiskey there Yeah, oh yeah, we did a whiskey ginger. Well, thank you guys so much for coming on the channel For everybody who doesn't know this is Monica and Jonathan They are a lovely couple that I know here who actually took me to my first Indian wedding That I ever went to that Yeah, that apparently I heard a bunch of songs that I've now grown to love that had no idea Would ever be a part of my life. So thank you And Monica is a wonderful chef I I'm expecting some bread soon Indeed that olive bread is so good. Anyways, but They watched Kahani the 2012 film star directed by Sujoy Josh and written by Sujoy Josh starring Vidya Balin and Noa Zedin-Siddiqui and a couple of the people Suswata Chatterjee as well Jonathan I know Monica you you grew up in an Indian household. So you you saw a lot of classic Indian films That's what you've mostly seen, right? Correct. Not a lot of more modern films from India, right? No, in fact my my family Kind of poo-poo's on the modern films I remember when Slumdog Millionaire came out and my mom was so offended a Lot of Indians were And Jonathan you just know it through she's shown you some classics, right? Yes. Yeah, that's I'm starting to become More familiar. Actually, what was the one that we watched where I Was like, oh that they ripped some Terminator 2 music. Oh, that was Dawn the original Dawn though with Amitabh Amitabh Bachchan I was all about that one man. That was like pure like 70s like cop action like yeah, I haven't seen that one, but I hear about it a lot So I need to I need to watch it. But what did you guys think of this film? I? Dug it. Mm-hmm. I was feeling it. Yeah, I was feeling it But I'm like I'm like into like born identity kind of movies So for that reason I would like sucked me in you know it had that as being a thing going yeah, uh-huh Monica Did you like it? I? Did I did you know I thought I was going to miss all of the songs because that's such a big part of Watching an Indian movie. Yeah, and when I first I mean before we even started watching it. I was like 90 minutes I know where you used to like You're used to committing your whole day and night to it. Yeah an epic, you know Yeah, we just watched a three and a half hour film just the other day So yeah, it's it's quite short for for for an Indian film But I loved what the director did with it. So let's talk about you. Were you familiar with a video? The delete actress No, what do what do you think about her? He's the lead right? Yes. She's yeah, yeah Well, I hadn't seen her before Okay And what'd you think about her? I thought she was great. Yeah, you know, I thought she was super believable too In all the different stages of her throughout the film But I thought she was super believable and she was good at playing like the subtleties like Like how she wanted to keep the room clean and she was just like You know, like that's just who I am and then you find out later like what that really meant like she was cleaning off like Fingerprints and stuff like that in case so they couldn't figure out who she was I really like the subtleties of the movie. Yeah, well, she and she was also she was great because I Was definitely like sympathetic, you know, she really pulled off the The strength but vulnerability balance like I very complex like I dug that I thought she did a great performance to The the Durga festival and that goddess and like she was you know playing that role. Yeah But we didn't realize it the whole time, you know But I'm obviously I figured that you would pick up on that whole element of obviously the Durga Pooja The element of it, but how how soon did you figure out the twist? And for anybody who hasn't seen this film, obviously, there's a big old twist there at the end They got us they totally got us, you know, yeah, I yeah, did you did you should did you Put out a like a equine. She got kicked in the stomach. Oh Totally, yeah, I was right along with her man Since I've seen so many Indian movies like they're not above kicking a pregnant woman Sorry, not they we I'll kick a pregnant woman So they it got you there at the end, right? Yeah, for sure. I'm so glad that's I When I watched it, I I didn't I caught on to it probably I Can't remember exactly when but it was just before it happened, but it was still like absolutely shocking When it happened, what did you think of the other supporting character? You saw one of my favorite actors? Ever in this film. His name was no was it in Sadiki? He played mr.   So is what so is mr. Chatterjee, right that like the fat lead cop.  What are these guys upset about? Yeah, the yeah, they're like really agitated, right? Yeah, I loved both of their performance Bob the Swasata Swasata Chatterjee, I apologize. I always miss my nose his name. He's a really famous Bengali actor They're actually yeah, they're doing a sequel to this film Or I don't know if it's a sequel or a prequel, but it's it's about that character the Bob character Which is weird because I have questions about Bob. Okay, okay Here's a guy who's supposed to be a very fearsome Killer, right? Yeah But then when he's confronted And he's armed mind you with a pistol. He's like running away. Why is he running away? And the other thing? That's weird. Okay, is that as he's running away? He seems to start to have this hallucinatory Like you guys noticed that like he starts to hallucinate in the alleyway and I like what's going on with this guy Like there's this weird unexplained like is that why he's so weird because he's prone to hallucinations I didn't catch on that part Yeah, he has this I Just I guess no, I'm just because I was really mindful of what they were doing with the editing Yeah in that scene so he starts looking up like in the alleyway and They start to you know Make the footage look trippier and stuff like he's having some it basically puts you in like this first-person POV of like Almost like he's on drugs or he's hallucinating, you know It was a weird unexplained moment in the movie, you know, and so I kind of latched on to that but I was kind of like fascinated with the Bob character anyway because he was just they They they made this guy so strange. Yeah, you know, which worked for me up until the point where I had trouble with He's confronted and he starts to run and suddenly he said like dude you you Have the the spine to go and assassinate people in these, you know, like he's really brutal and cold, right? Yeah, but why is he then running from this like? Lowly cop that he could easily shoot. I don't know so that I had I had trouble with that Okay, but everything else was like Totally cool. I could see that totally Yeah, it's that the sequel I believe is either it's a pre-chorus I don't know for sure, but it's actually directed by this director. Sujo Josh's daughter. I believe he's nice He's having her direct this sequel. We actually got to interview the director of this film He's a super super cool guy super nice guy But yeah, the the other character in the was it and Sadiki who plays the inspector? Yes, I love him. He's one of my favorite actors Just not just Indian actors just actors in general You don't yeah the full scope of what this guy can do in this film But yeah, he plays one of the greatest villains you'll ever see in your life I can I can totally I can totally see that because he had such an edge in in this performance even Yeah, what was the movie where he played the villain that you like? Oh a bunch There's like the big There's a film called gangs of wasp her which is about five and a half hours. So normal Film we it's actually broken into two ports, but it's it's by a director named on your Akashia It's it's I think one of the greatest gangster films of all time It's so it's a it's a very Godfather-y style story, but in India Martin Scorsese actually watched it and and and loves this film It's one that you might if you like gangster stuff, you'd be really be into this film But he's also done so many other films where he plays a villain He's a film called ramen Raghav 2.0 where he plays a cycle a psychopath So he but he also does he does everything really really really well There's a film called the lunchbox with Irfan Khan where he just plays this normal dude And he plays it so well. So he's he's just he's one of these kind of yeah, he's so so good I love him well what I love when he first shows up in this movie What I love is when he comes and he kind of takes over their local police station And like the presence that he commands in that in those moments is really cool And he's really edgy and like I was buying that all the way how the other cop Like the local cops were like afraid of them and they he kind of just came in and took over Mm-hmm good good stuff. Yeah, Vidya Vidya the lead actress is also a really really good actress who We have we haven't even explored her enough, but I like her a lot Normally I ask because I've done this with other Americans usually they have never seen any Indian films You guys obviously are used to the classics But obviously I would normally ask was there anything culturally you didn't understand But I'm pretty sure the answer is no to that one Well, was there anything that you didn't understand No, I Know this one. I was I was I was like locked in with it and I was following culturally as well Yeah, especially I don't know if Monica explained it to you But obviously the the whole Durgapuja event that was going on that whole festival that they have that was obviously a big character In the entire film the goddess Her name is Durgapuja. That's that is the goddess, right? Durgas the goddess Durgapuja is the festival see even yeah Yeah, just like a like a prayer spiritual like Gathering it's it's not a yeah The it's separate from a festival like you can have a puja for anything Like if you just prayed to Dargah, that's doing a puja too. Okay. I didn't know that I Learned stuff every day. Well, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Would you guys be interested in watching more Indian films? Oh Let's yeah, let's keep doing this And I like I like watching it this way because you're introducing me to stuff that is familiar Yet different because like the whole dynamics of the cops like You might have you've said a few times like what are they so angry about what are they so salty about like?  Yeah, you know, that's typical and I do I do think that Because I grew up watching Movies from before my time But also as I was growing up and my parents always watched whatever was current So I also watched the like 80s and 90s type of Indian movies, too which really Romantic and drawn out and stuff like that. Yeah, and During that time period it was really It was it was like Indian culture was trying to mimic American culture But they were decades behind. Yeah, and I feel like with this movie Like they were able to find their own voice. Yeah, for in a more stylized fashion that wasn't Specifically Indian or specifically Western. Yeah, and I found that really refreshing. Yeah, because it felt true to the situation and and and where they were Rather than trying to be somewhere else. Yeah. Yeah in Indian cinema. I think currently even though they would I think From what I've learned the Golden Age, you know people always debate on when the Golden Age of Indian cinema was but obviously the 90s were very overdramatic Shah Rukh Khan Romance over the top But now they've kind of come into their own and there's so many great films that have come out from every different Region of India as well. Not just because obviously this is from Bollywood but there's all the other language even Punjab we've only seen one Punjabi film But like Malayalam industry Bengali industry Tamil All those industries are doing and Marathi as well. They've just like they're putting out Oscar worthy films So it's it's it's quite insane how well they're doing but how like here in America, obviously we just don't know because they're they're not The the reach that they put out in India doesn't get to us or at least we don't listen to it So it's right. It's one of those.  So in Hollywood, they like to talk about oh, you know, which filmmaker is is doing the most to Advance a given genre, right or like further a genre. Well, they're doing it in these Bollywood films Like this is you know, like a there's a espionage like Jason Bourne element to this But then it's its own thing too. Yeah, and so It seems like the more classic movies are like taking inspiration from and sort of like you know following in American film footsteps, whereas Films like this are so cool because they're like Going ahead and like pushing the genres further.  It just that though it It's it's called a great Indian kitchen. It's about the patriarchy in in parts of India and how this this woman is Subjected to it in her home. That's all I'm gonna say But it's absolutely brilliant Yeah, so it's just her normal life but It's it's incredible. It just came out this year actually came out in January. It's a really good film But I'm so glad you guys liked this film What let it let us know down in the comments what what film we should let them watch next and Have a great night guys

Believe it or not, the A sound is seldom spelled with an A alone. At the ends of words, it is usually spelled A-Y. A-A-A. Okay, Jay, what do you say? It's a nice day in the month of May. By the way, are you ready to play? Play on grass or play on clay? In the middle of words, the A sound is often spelled A-I. Wait, wait, wait, it's going to rain. I don't want to miss the train. Hit the trails or hit the rails. Maybe we should hit the sails. A-A-A. How did you straighten out your waist? Actually, I'm glad to explain my claim. I used my brain. No pain, no gain. We sometimes spell A with a silent E. The silent E comes at the end of the word and it is usually separated from the A by a single consonant. A-Silent E. Let's look at some examples. Cane. Gate. Same. Wade. Bake. Hurricane. Translate. Landscape. Bookcase. Take a look at the way A is spelled here. What did you do to celebrate? I ate and ate some big pancakes. How long did it take, Jake? I don't know, I'll ask my date. Once in a while the A sound is spelled with an A alone. This is not as common as you might expect. Acorn. Table. Baby. Danger. Bank. Vacation. Vacation. It's kind of strange. A is seldom spelled with an A alone. Technically, the Y here functions like a final E, giving the A its A sound. Using other letters to spell the A sound. An E for an A? What? Here's where the A spelling gets confusing. Sometimes we don't even use the letter A to spell the A sound.  See the way gray is spelled with E or A. To make matters worse, A is sometimes spelled EI in the middle of words. But not always. The EI is followed by a silent GH. Eight. Neighbor. Way. Reindeer. Eight reindeer for Santa's sleigh? How much does the old man weigh? Finally, A is sometimes spelled EA. This is not a common spelling for A, but it does occur in a few words. Great. Break. Stake. I'm hungry and I need a break. Sounds great. Let's go get some steak. Note. EA is more commonly pronounced E as in team or EH as in bread. Let's summarize the seven ways we can spell the A sound. Spell it with A, most common. At the ends of words, A-Y, play, okay. In the middle of words, A-I, main, wait. With silent E, A-silent E, cane, gave. In the middle of words, by itself, acorn, bank. At the beginning or middle of words. Spell it with E, E-Y, they, obey, E-I, reindeer, weigh, EA, break, great. Well that's about it. Be sure to check out our other videos on sounds and spelling.

All right, that was Dutch. Let's go quickly to Dublin. Yesterday in Dublin, there was a tragic attack by an immigrant Muslim in a school where he stabbed three kids and two teachers. One of the kids is in critical condition in hospital. Luckily, nobody has died yet of those wounds, but three kids in hospital, or one kid, is in critical condition. It's immediately after the news came out and it was rumored that it was a Muslim who committed the crime, about 500. I don't know. It's hard to tell what the numbers are, but several hundred, maybe several thousands, hard to tell. Irish men, primarily men, I think it was, went out into the streets and basically rioted, burned down a hotel that had been used to house asylum seekers in Ireland. They burned cars, they rioted. They were incredibly disruptive. They took over the streets, they damaged a number of vehicles, they torched a bus, and they damaged 13 properties in addition to the hotel. At some point, the police were having a very hard time controlling this, and there were some rumors that they called in the military. I don't think the military actually was used, but it got pretty dicey and pretty unpleasant in Dublin, a beautiful city, by the way, last night. I think 36 people were arrested in jail, and there is a call now from these demonstrators, or these rioters, and others. There was a call to eliminate or reduce immigration again. So while I know RIMO is minimizing the role of the pro-Hamas protests, I think that's a mistake. I think all of Europe, and this is a broader issue. Maybe I'll do a show on this tonight. And this is the broader issue that I think all the Muslims do when they go out and they demonstrate and they support Hamas, all they do is they incite or awaken, if you will, the nationalist tendencies in many of these European countries. All they do is ignite a fire that will ultimately consume them. It's still small because the terrorist attack happened in Israel. It didn't happen in Europe. But imagine if a terrorist attack, if terrorist attacks, start happening now in Europe. I mean, when they did 10 years ago, when ISIS ran amok in Europe, these right-wing parties were just awakening. Now they're well-established. Now the networks of people opposed to Islam in Europe is dramatic and significant. If there was a string of terrorist attacks in Europe now, I think the response would be a lot more brutal than it was what is it, sevens, eight, 10 years ago when ISIS and al-Qaeda are going all the way back to the bombing in the British subway. They will awaken the Europeans. They will awaken European nationalism. They will awaken the worst in European nationalism. And they will be its victims. So beware, Muslims, you might regret all of this.


Hi, my name is Apostolo Doxiades, I'm a writer, I'm a Greek by birth and by uprinking. I am a European by culture and in spirit and I try in my books to understand things that are very close to the European tradition as is the struggle of ideas, the interaction of ideas and personalities and how the stories we live and the stories we make are also made up not just of our acts and our material environment but our cultural environment and our ideas. I'll tell you more about this in Amsterdam on June 6th at the Nexus Symposium. The theme of the Nexus Symposium is Je suis Europe un, I am European. And I think it's an extremely important theme for this moment, for this age, for this time, for Europe and also for a special soil, say now, for Greece. I'm speaking as a European but also as a Greek as a European and who wants and believes in the European and I think that the importance of this symposium is that it will bring together thinkers and people who are passionate about the issues of Europe and for the European Union, not necessarily for it or for or against I should say and they are going to discuss, we are going to discuss what there is that unites us in Europe, what is necessary for this to continue to unite us politically, what are the cultural roots, what are the historical roots and what is the present political situation around the European Union which is certainly very different. Should we go forward to a more political unification? Should we stop here? Should we go backwards and disband the European Union in order to further protect the European idea? All these are huge and important questions that cannot be answered simply. I'm not sure everything will be solved exactly on June 6th but I do hope that we'll go in a certain important direction and understanding the questions better and finding some common positions and common ground on which people from different European nations and cultures can stand and feel Europeans.


Netherlands, Estonia and Lithuania ready for sending their military to Ukraine. High-ranking officials in the Netherlands, Estonia and Lithuania do not exclude the possibility of sending their military to Ukraine according to military media outlet. Several Western media reported on this, citing high-ranking officials. Officials of the country stressed that such assumptions are linked with support personnel who will provide training, help set up processes and do other work without being involved in hostilities. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kalas said that all options are on the table to help Ukraine defeat Russia. I think that these are also signals that we are sending to Russia that we are not ruling out different options, because all countries have realized that we have to do everything to make sure that Ukraine wins and Russia loses the war. Kalas said on the Politico podcast. Kestutis Budris, Chief National Security Advisor to the President of Lithuania, stated that his country is considering sending its instructors to Ukraine, but the priority is to support them with weapons and ammunition. We are talking about that possibility and we are doing this quite openly. There are a lot of nuances about what could happen and under what conditions, he said. Lithuanian Defense Minister Avidas Anusoskas also spoke about the possibility of sending NATO troops to Ukraine to conduct exercises. His counterpart, Dutch Defense Minister Ono Isselshheim, also expressed his opinion on sending his troops to Ukraine. I think you have to keep all options open to see how you can best support Ukraine. Isselshheim said, adding that there are other ways to help Ukraine. According to the Dutch Minister of Defense, if Western troops go to Ukraine, it should be within the framework of a coalition. Ecuador to supply US with OSA AKM anti-aircraft missile systems which Ukraine may receive. The Ecuadorian Air Force is preparing to transfer 6 OSA AKM type MAPO 9M33 anti-aircraft missile systems to the United States. According to the plan, these air defense systems will then be provided to Ukraine, Info Defensor and Militani. The article mentions that the agreement involves the transfer of new American systems to Ecuador, the models and types of which are not disclosed. Additionally, the agreement includes training, support, supply of components and ongoing technical assistance. The current condition of the OSA AKM anti-aircraft missile systems that are to be transferred to the American side is also unknown at this time. In total, the ground forces and Air Force of Ecuador possess 12 complexes of the 9K33 OSA AKM which were previously purchased by the country from Ukraine. Earlier information surfaced about an agreement between the countries to exchange old Soviet era weaponry with a total value of $200 million for modern equipment. This agreement was expected to be completed by the end of January of the current year. Russia's military arsenal includes many examples of systems and ammunition manufactured during the Soviet era or in Russia. It was previously reported that Russia had recently resolved a trade war with Ecuador through military assistance to Ukraine. Putin warned the West. Russia has weapons that can strike targets on your territory. Politicians in the West sought to weaken Russia from within just like they did in Ukraine, but they failed. Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a state-of-the-nation address. They essentially would like to do to Russia exactly what they did to many other regions of the world, including Ukraine, bring discord to our home and weaken us from within. But they miscalculated. The President said, It is absolutely obvious today. Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia has weapons that can strike targets on your territory. Blaming allies have created a potential nuclear conflict which could lead to the destruction of civilization. In a state-of-the-nation address ahead of next month's election, Putin accused the US of wanting to ultimately defeat Russia and drag us into an arms race. Speaking to an audience of lawmakers and top officials, which was televised live nationwide, Putin said Russia was defending its sovereignty and security and protecting our compatriots in Ukraine. The Russian President addressed his remarks specifically to nations which have hinted they could send their own troops to support Ukraine. Earlier this week, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would not rule out doing so saying nothing should be excluded. However, other countries including the UK, the US and Germany warned against the move. They need to understand we too have weapons that can strike targets on their territory, Mr Putin said. He said Western rhetoric had threatened a conflict with the use of nuclear arms and consequently the destruction of civilization.


Akinari Ori, well-known by a lot of us, of course, has been Vice Governor of Bank of Japan and is now the Special Advisor and Member of the Board of Directors of the Canon Institute for Global Studies. You have the floor, my dear friend. Thank you, thank you, Mr. President. It was three years ago I spoke at World Policy Conference in Marrakech. So let me begin by reminding you of what I said three years ago. Okay, number one, globalization of economy and finance was slowing down as wages were rapidly rising in China and U.S.-China tension being intensified. Number two, if the U.S. presidential election 2020 brought about liberal president, actually it did, he would formulate socialistic policies, he did, which would make American psyche more inflation-prone. Number three, negative interest rates in longer-term bond markets were a bubble. And when it burst, it would entail financial disruptions that I, that's what I said three years ago. Now I hope I have reminded you of my prescience three years ago. Today I would like to make a few points to follow this up. First, globalization, which has slowed down, but it has not reversed the course. China's exports to the U.S. stopped growing, that's true, but at the same time, exports of Korea, India and ASEAN countries are increasing. In other words, globalization in the periphery of China appears to be expanding. At the same time, U.S. exports to China has continued to increase, and so has U.S. direct investment in China. This is one point. And between 2020 and 2022, there were several sources of supply chain disruptions. You're familiar with pandemic-related lockdowns and Ukraine war-related energy and food crisis. These disruptions are still with us, of course, and far from behind us, but the degree of disruptions is easing, in my view. Unless globalization is reversed, inflation pressures from the supply side of the world economy will recede as supply chains are restored and alternative sources are developed. This is number one issue related to globalization and the supply side of the economy. Second, U.S. fiscal policy. Now that the U.S. has a split Congress, no big fiscal spending program or tax reform is likely to materialize within the next two years. So no big fiscal surprise is good news for monetary policy, which is now aimed at, you know, combating inflation. Monetary policy tightening has begun to have effects on U.S. housing investment, which will dampen rent and other shelter costs in a year. Personal consumption and business investment seem solid so far in the U.S., but they will slow down going forward. Whether all this ends with a soft landing or not, I am perhaps more optimistic than most of the people around the table. Why? Number one, large build-ups in savings in the U.S. Oh, that's the case in Japan too. Huge 10% of worth GDP savings accumulated in the housing sector, so is in the U.S. Number two, Chinese economy will get out of lockdown mode sooner or later. You know, herd immunity will present itself once again, sooner or later. Even, you know, Spanish flu sort of thing. It took only three years until the world attained herd immunity. Why not China now? So China's economy would recover sooner or later. At the time U.S. economy would, economic growth will slow down. Okay. Number three, I see no large build-up of financial dislocations in the U.S. like the one which led up to the global financial crisis. Of course, there are sources of problems, but those sources, let's see, more manageable in my view. Three years ago, actually I discussed a possible financial problem arising from the asset management industry. A near crisis actually happened in the U.K. when long-term interest rates shot up a few months ago. That's true. We may perhaps witness a similar episode if my optimistic scenario of U.S. economic soft landing fails to materialize. That's true. But otherwise, I hope the central banks and other regulatory and supervisory authorities will be able to manage the situation by addressing a problem causing institutions case by case. You know, it's a muddle-through approach. We are familiar with this, Jean-Claude, for a long time, at the time of your head of Paris crowd a long time ago, but about 20, 30 years ago Alan Greenspan referred to it rather than a muddle-through. He called it sophisticated, case-by-case approach. I remember very well. I think it will continue to be possible unless systemic disruption happens in the banking system of a major country, whether U.S. or Europe. It's comforting to know that the most of the banks in major countries are so well-capitalized that they are unlikely to feed into a systemic crisis of the financial system. Let me stop here. Thank you very much indeed. I understand you told us very lucidly three years ago what would happen, and you were quite pessimistic, obviously, and now you're reasonably optimistic and confident. So we take note of that, and we will see, of course, we will judge in three years' time whether you're right. Thank you very much indeed for this exposition.


What's going on, folks? My name is Jacob. Let's read a little bit today. So the card for today says there are two halves in every relationship, but you are only responsible for your half of the relationship. It is not up to you to control the other half. Respect the other half, and there is always going to be peace in that relationship. Very beautiful. Can't say much more than that, right? So our number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can email me at Jacob at TFNN.com. Also reading the Tiger's Den. If you're not in there, you got to get in there. And I'll also be checking the YouTube comments. So we got a lot of talk about today. Let's just go through the major indices first. We have the Dow Jones is down only 0.48%. Let's see here. The Nasdaq down about 1%. Another one I want to focus on a lot will be Dow Jones' transportation average, which is down 5.61%. And then getting into the SPX cash, S&P 500 is down about 0.74%. So to focus on that a little bit, one of the reasons I say you should get in the den is that we actually had a little contest going on, all right? And the contest was who could most closely approximate the close of the SPX on Friday. And the top three winners were going to get one of these nice mugs of TFNN.com on them, with a nice cool tiger. It's nice, it's not my mug though, I'm not gonna drink from it. So let's see here, I think, this is tentative right now. We still got another hour before it closes. But I think the closest we have currently is gonna be no more Gough, Rich for Life, and Dilly Dilly 94. So that is not the absolute winners yet. Like I said, we still have another hour, but you guys, you got to get in the den. It is so fun. These guys, I mean, I learned so much from everyone in the den every day. And I'd really recommend you coming in, chatting with everyone, contributing and learning more. So if you want you to go to TFNN.com and sign up, it's only $1 a year. We just do that to kind of keep the rabble out. We're never gonna raise it, so let's see here. All right, let's go through some of the other indices. DIA is down 0.7, everything is kind of within these bounds here, about 0.5 to 0.8. Spies down 1.08, Meta is down 2%, Tesla down 0.26%. Apple down almost a whole percent. Steel Dynamics down 1.5. So what I want to talk about today, kind of just jumping into it. The first thing that really caught my eye, forgive me because I can't remember who posted it into the den, but it's the yield curve. The US 10 year versus the two year government bond spread has essentially inverted. So the way you get that is you take the rate of one of them and subtract it from the other, and that gives you the product, rather the solution of that would be basic points. So obviously, since we're in negative basis points here, the two year is higher yield-wise. What happens with that, if you're not hip to it, is essentially when recessions come around, the short term kind of gets a little bit shaky. People want to kind of flee from the shorter term debt in favor of the longer term debt. The price of the bond is inversely related to the yield. So as the price goes down, the yield increases. So we can see here that about right before the crash in 2008, we had this kind of same pattern. Obviously the crash from COVID, and we're kind of seeing that here. It's interesting to see what the Fed will do because in these times, what they could do is essentially lower interest rates to create liquidity, but currently the Fed's trying to do things that do not result in that. So it'll be interesting to see how we kind of recover out of this. Let's see what else. FedEx, huge kind of, I guess, bomb from them. Raj Subramaniam, warrant of a worldwide recession due to inflation and central bank rate increases. Additionally, China is having a pretty intense quarantine to kind of stamp out COVID. This is causing further supply chain difficulties. Let's see here. So FedEx decided to pre-announce earnings while below estimates and pulled its financial guidance. This resulted in a 20% decrease. Let's see where we're at now, yes. Hover around 21% decrease here. This is on a one day. Let's check it out. One year to date, this is insane. Insaving movements. CEO said global volumes declined as macroeconomic trends significantly worsened. So there is some collateral with this. We have here, let's see. We have Packaging Corp of America, which is down about 9%, 9.8% is down 11 earlier. We have international paper down 10%. This is doing a little better from the 12% it was down earlier. West Rock Company down, let's see here, down 10%. And then Graphic Packaging Holding Company down 5.7%. And that's maintained throughout the day. I read an article kind of regarding this and the opinion of the author was that this was more of a FedEx issue. And they brought up some valid points for that. But I won't get into it now because we're about to go to the break in about two minutes here, but I do want to just do a quick look at some of the, just some of the financials of the companies, comparatively speaking, to see if this is, because if this is a FedEx issue, then I do kind of believe this might be like an oversell by the market, but that might warrant some shaving off of the price of FedEx. But if it is a major sector issue itself, then you know, I mean, UPS should, FedEx could probably increase a little bit more from its down, because UPS is only down, let's see here, only down 4.7%. From kind of what I'm seeing, I do think this is gonna be much more of a global issue. Obviously, both of these companies will have to kind of readjust based on kind of the new global outlook, but does FedEx need to be down 21%? Probably not. I think this is like a big shock. I think releasing the announcement before earnings was massive and then rescinding financial guidance was huge too. The CEO of companies need to be like the cheerleaders of it. So this is a pretty grim outlook. I mean, in a way, this is also positive. I mean, if the CEO and the board of FedEx really does see this as being kind of a global issue that's gonna impact on the long term, it's really awesome to get that bad news out of the way immediately. At least in my opinion, you can get this massive retraction, this massive sell off, and then things can build back to a proper level. When we get back, we have a best for calling in, excuse me. We'll see what we'll talk about there. I wanna talk on the mortgage rates and everything, and we'll see what he has to say. Again, send me an email at jiggabittfinan.com. You can message me in the den or YouTube, and we will be right back.


It was inspired a bit by David Bowie, the great David Bowie, and a bit of Neil Young, yeah. Here's the thought of the sea, to the manning down below, Xfiga savi, Xfiga savi, he goes and more, there's a hole. Thank you. We'll see you tonight.


Hi, this is Christian. In this video, I'm going to show you how you can connect to your web server, remote files directly from within PHPStorm. So here is my website on the Prometheus website. It's on the home page here, just so a little PHP file. Now I'm going to go to PHPStorm. So open your project wherever you want to be. Use it. And then go to the Tools and Deployment Configuration. And you're going to add a configuration here. So give it a name for the FTP. Choose that. Just give it a name. There's just anything you want. So I'll just call it Prometheus. Anything you want. And then choose the type of FTP and then the host is just like you do with FTP Falsilla. So Prometheus, GTC.edu, your username here, and then your password. And then you can save it so you don't have to type it next time. And test the connection. If it's all successful, you will see its message here. You go to Go, click OK, and then that's it, OK. The root path here, if you want to open to a different directory on your account, then you can put it here like Unit 2 or something. Otherwise just leave it at root here so you'll see everything in your Falsilla, I mean your FTP. Click OK. And then now to turn it on, just go to see it, go to Tools again, Deployment, and show Remote Host here, OK. If you do that, you're going to see a tab open from the bottom right of your corner down here, just like the database here. And you can see that it opens, it loads my file. This is exactly what you would see with Falsilla. The only thing is this, that now you're connected directly to your account through PHPStorm. So you don't have to go back to Falsilla and back and forth, OK. So you can turn this on and off now, you see that here. So next time if you log in, this should also be available unless you remove that. So now all my files are here in the remote server, OK. If I want to edit this file, I can just double click on it and it will open in the local system here. Now you're not replacing your actual file. These are your local machines here, right. So this is from Prometheus, OK. The index here is now linked directly to your remote server. If you make changes to this account, so here again just want to make sure it does work. Here is this Hello World. I'm going to change it to say Hello Earthlings, OK. And I'll put two exclamation marks. Save the file and then just upload it right here. Just upload directly to your current location. And then that's it. And then now go back to the browser and refresh and you see the new changes right here, OK. So that's for editing a file from the server. Now locally if you have another file, let's say I have to create another one here, I'm going to call it about.php, OK. And then I'll put here just something, OK. So if I, good. I like that. I want to see it. I want to upload to the browser. Again, since you notice it's on the local machine you cannot just go and drag it up there. Let me upload. You can then drag this file and drop it into your server up here. So there it is. It's up there now. And then if I go to my browser and type in about, and there it is. OK. So I hope this is helpful. It helps you a lot. I save you a lot of time just going back and forth between FileZilla and here. So let me know your questions. Thank you.
