Hi everybody, Joe for JasperiesCaseBreaks.com coming at you with 2022-23, Bowman University Chrome. Forebox, random letter break number 42. The last third of the case, the next forebox break is from a fresh case.  Thank you, sir. Good luck. All the spots here in break 42 here on Tuesday the 20th. So thanks to him, you'll get all the cards. Saves me a randomizer, which I also like. So thank you for that. And good luck. So hopefully we can find some monsters in here. NBA draft coming up on this week, this Thursday. Now, I think it's, unless the San Antonio Spurs shock the world, right? Victor Wenbenyama should be the number one overall pick by the San Antonio Spurs. Seven for 209 pounds according to Yahoo Sports. They're saying Wenbenyama is the best prospect to hit the NBA since LeBron James. And had an impressive showing in his last season in France playing all the way up to June 15th. The center led the Mets 92 to their first finals appearance where they were swept by Monaco though, 3-0. Wenbenyama led all players during the regular season in points, 21.6 points a game, rebounds 10.4 and blocks, 3.1 named the league's MVP, becoming the youngest player in league history to earn the top honor. Report surface that Wenbenyama wouldn't play at the Summer League, but after the loss to Monaco, Chimei Moneki asked if he was playing when Wenbenyama answered a little bit. What he brings to the Spurs is elite rim protection with his eight-foot wingspan, wow. Now it continually impacts the game from different spots on the court. Tim Duncan is on that coaching staff will be mentoring Wenbenyama when he gets to San Antonio. This is supposed, is this supposed to be a deep draft? That I don't know. But I know people are high on Scoot Henderson which Yahoo Sports has projected at number two, 6'2", 196. Many believe Brandon Miller is the better fit for the Hornets, but with what? Scoot Henderson projects as an NBA player, it's hard to pass him up at number two. I think the Hornets brought both Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson into the town. However, Henderson already has a leg up on almost all the players in the draft. The 6'2", guarded in playing against NBA town with NBA rules and spacing the last two seasons in the G League. I actually kind of like that too. I like that he's already kind of embedded into sort of that NBA world. All right, we've got Caleb Love, 32 out of 199. All of these, of course, for Nathan who bought all the spots in this break. So yeah, I mean, we're hoping that by the time Thursday rolls around that we'll see a lot of these players be drafted, hopefully increasing their value. Some of these players are entering their, entering another year of college. Here's Kiki Rice, UCLA. Here's Kiki Rice. Hopefully all of these players become all-stars, superstars, Kiki Rice to 499, Jordan Walsh, JJ Starling to 399. So the purple shimmers are not numbered, but the regular purple ones are numbered. Some of these players may be going back for another year of school, I think, but you should see most of these players get drafted at some point. And there's our second auto Seth Trimble. There's a couple of Caitlyn Clarks. She'll definitely get drafted. Is she doing one more year at school? All right, good start. Excuse me, with the first box. Here's the second one. So now, if Scoot Henderson goes two, Yahoo has projected Brandon Miller from Alabama to go to Portland with the third pick. Kind of a guard forward, 6'9", 205 pounds. According to Yahoo, Miller had a strong workout in Portland and looked comfortable during drills. If the Hornets take Henderson, two Miller can add some length and size along the perimeter with Damian Lillard and Anthony Simons. Miller is one of the best three-point shooting wings in college basketball. His name to the SEC's freshman player year, of the year and player of the year become the first player to win both awards since Anthony Davis did it with Kentucky in 2012. Although there are rumors that Damian Lillard maybe moved, traded. I think they have that Shaden Sharp kid, right? From last year who actually played well. Maybe they'll, they can build around them perhaps.  That'd be a tough trade to swallow. They have Guard Eamon Thompson, 6'7", 202 going to Houston. They got a new, they got a new coach, Eme Udoka, Udoka. They could trade down if they want to, but they got Kevin Porter, junior Jalen Green, Javari Smith, junior. If they had like another top five pick, you know, that's a nice little core right there. We're trying to lure some free agents here and there. Eme is a good coach, you know, could work out nicely. At number five, Detroit, they have the Pistons taking Guard Cam Whitmore. We've seen a lot of Cam Whitmore cards here. He's 6'8", 235 on a Villanova. Rumblings at Whitmore slipping on draft boards, but he looked incredible in a pre-draft workout with Carmelo in New York's last, late last week. Strong guard, explosive first step off the wing, plugged into any spot along the perimeter. Here's DJ Horne. There's kind of your first five right there. What about any of these guys? Seth Trimble not on the Yahoo mock draft list. What about DJ Horne? No, Horne not on this list either. He's 19 out of 99 though. Maybe these guys are going back to school for another year, that's possible. I know this guy's supposed to be pretty good. I think he's going back to Purdue for one more year. Nick Smith Jr., Shailen Cook, the purple shimmers that are not numbered. There's Devin Carter, 66 out of 199. All these go to Nathan of course. There's Chris Livingston. And we've got Kallel Ware for the Oregon player. All these for Nathan, is he on this list? Doesn't look like it. Maybe he's another guy that may be going back to school for another year. Maybe they won't be on draft board. I don't know, I don't follow college as closely as I would like. And we've got Amari Bailey, 251 out of 299. Nice Katelyn Clark, Julian Phillips. All right, Nathan, two more box to go. Good luck. Now this is something that I don't, that I rarely wish for, but I hope we can see a redemption in here. That would be a good sign. Just skimming through this, just skimming through some of the other picks that Yahoo has projected. We've got Usar Thompson, Jerace Walker, I feel like. We see a lot in this set. Anthony Black as well. Taylor Hendricks, you know, Derek Lively. Grady Dick, kind of going down the board here. Kobe Buffkin, Jalen Hush, Afino we've seen in this set. Wenbonyama's teammate, Bilal Kulabali. I don't think he's in this set, but another name to look out for. What else? I don't think we've seen Kayson Wallace, I haven't seen his name in here. Keontae George, Jordan Hawkins. Leonard Miller, Nick Smith, Jr. Jet Howard, they've got projected going in 21st to the Nets. I feel like we've seen some Jet Howard cards in here. Jet Howard, who is the youngest son of Juwanha. Some people, I've seen some mock drafts where Jet Howard, maybe the Lakers. I'd like to see that. Jaime Hacas, UCL's Jaime Hacas, Brooklyn Nets 22nd pick. Noah Clowney, Chris Murray, I think we've seen in this set. Brandon Podes-Mesky, Axel Lewis-Ben Shepard, Julian Phillips, we've seen in this set. Terry Whitehead, Sessenbaum. There's some of the names on the draft board. We've got Mark Armstrong, 97 out of 99. RJ Davis, and Mark Mitchell. Ray Wave, autograph. 25 out of 199. There's Mark Mitchell again, Chris Livingston. There's Jet Howard, just talking about him. 190 out of 399. There's Grady Dick, and a Zac Edie. It's like a little bit of a printing issue right there, unfortunately, but I've heard his name being bandied about. 009 out of 149. He's supposed to be pretty good. Good immense. There's Jet Howard again. Those refractors not numbered. All right, final box coming up. All right, thanks Nathan, good luck. Dodgers at Angels. In the background, just about to pitch about to happen. That says 17 home runs this season. It's having a nice whole season. 264, 17 homers, 43 RBI's. I think he went to Drive Line in the off season, which is known for improving pitchers and their spin rates and all that sort of stuff. But starting to work with hitters more often now as well. They were saying in the off season that one thing that Mookie had to, he's a pretty good player, he's a pretty good ball player, but they trained with him and they kind of analyzed his swing and all this sort of stuff. And I think one of the bigger recommendations was, hey, you know, bulk up just a little bit. I think he added solid like 15 pounds or something like that of muscle. Ooh, a redemption. Could it be? It's Katie Johnson, 005 out of 2.99. Remember, Nathan bought all the spots. And we're gonna create a little bit of a suspenseful moment for him here. There's Anthony Black, 92 out of 99. Sorry, and then Demar Langford, blue ray wave to 1.99. It's Mikey Williams. Here's Katelyn Clark. Matt Bazellis. All right. Let's see what we got here. Nathan, good luck. Thanks for grabbing all the spots in this break. Congratulations, you are due to receive a Bowman Chrome Prospects autograph of, not V, still nice though, Scoot Henderson. Was looking for Victor Wimbanyama, but Scoot Henderson looking to be the second or third pick in the draft. So after Victor Wimbanyama, so that's still strong. Wish it was the Victor, but the Scoot, not a bad consolation prize. Here are your other hits here. Nathan, thanks for getting in. Appreciate it. I'm Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com. Thanks everyone else for watching. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


Hey there, beautiful people! In this video, I'll show you how you can download and install Maya 2018 on up to two devices for free by signing up for an educational license. So the first thing you'll need to do is go to the Autodesk Education website, I'll put the link in the video description for you to follow, or you can just Google Autodesk Education just like I'm doing here. This will take you to the Education Community website. On the homepage you'll see a link for Maya, give that a click to be taken to the download page. Before you can download the software, you need to either sign in or create an account. It's absolutely free to sign up and the Autodesk Education Community is a really helpful resource, so as well as free software, by signing up you'll also get access to some really good learning materials and a really helpful community of Maya users. So signing up is a bit of a no-brainer really. Okay, if you don't already have an account, you need to click on Create Account and then fill in your details. You'll be asked, which country your educational institution is in? I'm in the UK so I'm choosing that. You'll then be asked about your educational role. I'm an educator so I'm choosing that option, but if you're a student you'll probably want to choose the student option. Once that's done, click Next. You'll then need to fill in your personal details. Make sure you use a real email address because you'll be sent a confirmation email containing a link which you'll need to click to complete your registration. You'll then need to create a password and agree to the terms and conditions. Once that's done you can click on the Create Account button. You'll now receive the confirmation email. Go to your inbox, find the email and click on the link to verify your account. Once your account has been successfully verified you can go back and sign in with the email address and password you just created. Next up you'll need to select the version of the software that you want to download. You can see the Autodesk offer a few earlier versions as well as the latest, which is awfully kind of them. I want the latest version though so I'm choosing Maya 2018. You'll then select the operating system you're using and your preferred language. You can now get the software I've installed. You're used to want to just click on Install Now, but if you click on the little arrow to the right of the button you'll see there are some other options. If for some reason the Install Now option isn't working I recommend trying the browser download option instead. Anyway, it's fine for me so I'm selecting Install Now. Accept the License and Service Agreement and click Install. A file will now be downloaded. Once it's done open it, this is the installer. There will be a small download and then the installer will open properly. In the installer you can choose the option to install Maya on your computer. This screen lets you choose which components you want to install. I recommend installing Maya, Arnold and Bifrost. Once you're happy with your selections click on the install button. Now the installer will download and install everything needed. This is a pretty beefy download and the time it takes will depend on your connection speed and how busy the Autodesk servers are. It downloaded everything in around 15 minutes for me but I've sped it up in editing because YouTube videos are a lot like Love Making. The sooner it's over the better. Once everything is installed you will be greeted with this confirmation screen. This tells you that you've successfully installed Maya 2018. You can now click on the Launch Now button to open Maya. Your license is automatically verified but if for some reason this didn't work for you then you should have the license key in your email inbox. Not as easy wasn't it? But now you've got your Shana new software installed you're going to need to learn how to use it. But don't worry I've got you covered. If you're new to Maya then you should check out my Maya tutorial for beginners. This covers everything you need to know to get started and takes 2-3 hours to complete. I made it in Maya 2016 but it's still most irrelevant. Even better is that the entire tutorial is completely free. The link is in the description or in the card at the end of the video. If you want a more up-to-date and thorough way to learn how to use Maya then I really recommend checking out PluralSight. They've got tons of tutorial videos on Maya and they're suitable for complete beginners as well as seasoned professionals. I still use the Maya tutorials on PluralSight to keep my own skills up-to-date. If you're just getting started in Maya 2018 you should check out the Maya 2018 Fundamentals course by Justin Marshall. Use the link in the video description to start your 10-day free trial. It's a free trial. You've got nothing to lose and some awesome new skills to gain. Okay, so that about wraps it up. If this video has helped you out then please show me some love by hitting that thumbs up button below the video. I upload new videos regularly including some damn fine tutorials on using Maya and Unreal Engine. So be sure to hit that subscribe button too if you want to see more videos like that. If you need any help or further information then just drop me a comment below the video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.


Today we're going to be talking about meat kairos. I mean, for those who have already seen us at the booth, meat kairos again, the meta distribution for the edge. So when we talk about meta distribution, what do we mean? We understand that different teams use different Linux operating systems. For example, Alpine, Opium Susei, and Fedora. And we do not want to reinvent the wheel. I mean, all those operating systems already do a great job at providing great package managers and everything that they do. So we don't want to ask you to change your operating system. And we also understand the fact that companies have invested so many years into learning how to use those operating systems. So kairos is not asking you to change any of this. Aside that different organizations have licenses that they use, and you don't want to do away with that. There are also, for people that don't have licenses, you might have golden images. And those golden images, like some of the templates and the standardization that your team makes use of, you don't want to do away with that. So that's not what kairos is asking you to do. Kairos actually builds on top of what you have already. A lot of our computing is moving to the edge, which means that we want to move away from centralized data centers and then move our workloads closer to the customers or closer to our clients. And for real-time processing and all the advantages that the edge provides, we are gradually moving more to the edge and then less towards data centers. So because our devices and our workloads are moving closer to our customers, there are a lot of challenges that this comes with. And some of these challenges include security. I mean, so when your computer is closer to the customer, there's increased vulnerability. It can be tampered with easily. And there's also the case of stability. So if a user wants to make an upgrade or make an update, you want the user to still be able to make use of that edge device without having any issues. So the case of stability also comes in. And then there's deployment. Everybody wants a plug and play. Nobody wants to go through all the deployment hassles. And companies also want it to be able to have very easy deployment experiences. So these are some of the issues that come with having your devices or your computing closer to the customer or in the edge. So Kairos to the rescue. So for security, right? One of the ways in which Kairos solves this problem is by immutability. This means that all the OS components, including the kernel and init-rd, are immutable. You can only read. You can't write. However, Kairos also provides a persistent way you can persist your data. And you can always update this part of Kairos. And then when you think about it, the first thing that comes to mind is, OK, it doesn't mean that this other part can be tampered with. And that's not the case. Kairos actually provides security by encrypting this user data part, encrypting it in TPM chips. And this means that if for some reason your hard disk, for example, is stolen, decryption cannot happen except on the same computer on which it was encrypted. So the user actually needs your physical device to be able to decrypt that data. So Kairos provides the security both on the OS level and then on your persistent volumes. And then for stability, Kairos also provides alpha beta upgrades. What this means is that you have your running image, which is your active image. And you want to make an upgrade to another, like make an upgrade. And then that upgrade that you want to make, we call it the passive one. So Kairos downloads the newer image that you want to update to. And there's a transition phase where after the download, Kairos tries to reboot your device and then loads the new image which you've downloaded. And if there's any issue, it's going to switch back to the previous image. And this is how it provides stability. So I'm going to allow Mauro to continue from here. Yeah, and of course, even if we try to make everything as simple and resilient as possible, we know as engineers that bad stuff can happen. For those scenarios where for some reason, neither the active or the passive image is working properly, we offer also a recovery partition in which you can have a shell and try to either fix one of those two images that is broken or at least get a hold of your data and save it. Another interesting feature that comes with Kairos is what we call a peer-to-peer network with self-coordinated cluster bootstrap. What does this mean? Well, there's this component that we introduced called HBPN. It's basically a mix of a BPN ledger. And what it does is that every node that you install with this component is going to keep record of every other node which you provided with the same kind of key. And these nodes are running on top of the live peer-to-peer library. That means that if for some reason there is limited connectivity, some protocols are not working, you can make use of any other protocol that the live peer-to-peer library offers. This can be useful because some of the edge locations might be restricted in the kind of connectivity that you have there. So I don't know if for some reason TCP is not working, maybe the web sockets are available and the nodes can continue speaking to each other there. And another way in which this is useful is let's say that I want to install a cluster and I decide to have, for example, two master nodes and the rest can be workers. But of course, one of our master nodes stop working for some reason. Then what happens is that because every node has the ability to know about the others, then they will start to communicate between each other and with consensus decide, you know what, we lost one of the master nodes. So now I'm going to become master node and again update this ledger that each of these nodes had in its own so that at the end of the day you continue having the stability, in this case, for example, if you want to provide a high availability on that particular cluster. Of course, if at some point that other master node come back online, he's going to be able to talk to all of them and again decide whether it stays as a master node or if downgrades as a worker. What else? Another thing that we want to do like we were mentioning is make it easy to deploy and one of the things we provide here is that Kairos is easy to configure and maintain. What we use right now is cloud init for the configuration of those nodes. So all your configuration can be done via YAML files. That means that you can keep it in your GitHub repositories, keep track of the changes that that configuration is having throughout time. And as you can see here, this is of course a very, very simple configuration, but you can get an idea of how it works. You just have, in this case, the number of users that I want to install. I want the user Kairos. It's going to have the password Kairos. And also on top of that, I'm gonna tell that this user can get the GitHub SSH key from the user called Modeler and also maybe an SSH key that I provided there. And finally, in this case, for example, I'm enabling the use of K3S. So that means that this node will have the full API capabilities of a Kubernetes cluster. Another way in which we try to make it easy to deploy is that we provide a web interface so that the only thing that you have to do is if you know the IP of one of the nodes, you go, in this case, for example, to that IP and the 8080 port and you will see a website where you can just copy-paste the configuration that you want installed for that node and then you run it and by the time it's done, your system is gonna be configured to the like of that configuration. Some cases, being at the edge, you have some particular scenarios. Maybe the person that is in physical possession of the node doesn't have... You don't want them to have the full configuration of the node itself. And in those scenarios, what we provide is that as soon as the machine is booted, it will show a QR code and then the person just needs to take a picture. Then they can send this picture to your headquarters or however you're doing this and the person in the headquarters is gonna, with the simple use of a CLI tool, in this case the Kyro CTL, is going to register that node and as you can see here, I'm going to provide what is the configuration file that I want and provide the QR code and just by that, I don't need to pass an IP or anything else. It's going to know how to connect to it. Another interesting component that we provide, also useful when you're doing deployments is something that we call Aurora Boot. Let's say that for some reason, you want to send a couple of clusters to different places across the country to build these clusters in, I don't know, different parking lots or grocery stores, whatever it is that your business is, right? But you don't want to go send a person, do the full configuration in the place and then go back, it could be very expensive or it could take too long. And for that scenario, what you might want to do is do some net booting configuration. You just spin up Aurora Boot and then you tell it which image you want to install, again, which configuration you want for that image and then every machine that you start in the same network is via Pixiboot, it's gonna be configured to have that specific setup that you set for it. Then of course, you just unplug all those devices, put them in boxes and send them to the locations that they need to be. The next time that they boot is going to be with the proper configuration that you were expecting to have. So, you wanna... So to finalize, we think Kairos is a great solution for edge computing because just to summarize the little things that we mentioned right now, it's immutable and that means that we reduce the risk surface that an attacker will have is distribution agnostic. So we allow you to continue using your existing knowledge on whatever main distribution of Linux that you are using. We do AB upgrades to facilitate and to avoid ending up with a system that is not working after an upgrade. We have TPN encryption to add security on the user data that you have there. We have peer-to-peer networking so that communication between the nodes is as easy and simple as possible and as reliant as well because of the peer-to-peer library. And finally, it's easy to configure and maintain. And last but not least, let us do a quick demo. I would have loved to do a live demo about the risk of this not going properly, right? So instead, I decided to go for a video, this so that you continue listening to me. And what we're gonna do here is that we're going to create five nodes and these five nodes all together are going to become a cluster, a Kubernetes cluster and I will be skipping because you don't need to wait for everything that is happening. And then once I create those machines in my data center, I am going to spin up Aurora Boot. Here, you can see that Aurora Boot can be run from a container or you can install it on your machine. And I'm going to pass, this YAML is the configuration YAML that I was just describing before. It has K3S configuration and in this particular case, I also mentioned that I want to have three master nodes from the five machines and that's it. We let it continue for a bit. And what Aurora Boot is doing right now is it's downloading an image from the cloud. This can be one of the images that we provide or one that you built with Keras and it's going to copy the root of FES into your local system or in the container depending on which of the two versions you used. And the final result that it does is an ISO image that will be delivered via the Pixiboot configure, via the network. And now we're going to start spinning up the VMs. So you can see here we can start them in parallel. They are all in the same network so they are all going to start getting the same configuration. And I'm going to launch a remote console so that we can see what is happening in the node. Here on the left you see Aurora Boot receiving already all those connections from the different VMs and that smaller window is the VM that's been spin up and it's already receiving Aurora Boot instructions on how to configure and install this node. And let's make it go a bit faster. That way there's more room for questions. Yeah, we open consoles on all of them so that you can see that everything is happening in parallel. You don't need to wait in serial for each of these to be configured. Let's go faster. This part is a bit slow. Yeah, and you can see that one of the nodes at this point is already booting. I think I went a bit too far, yes. So you can see that there is grub and it's a bit small maybe but there you can see that we have the option to just boot Kairos to go into the fallback which is the description that we were saying about the AB upgrade. So if there is some issue with the current image you can fall back to the previous one that was running. The recovery one in case the two A and B are broken so that you can try to fix things. And the rest of the nodes, of course, are also going to start booting at some point. And here in this screen back here we can see that Kairos already booted for that particular machine. So now what we're going to do is we're going to SSH into one of the machines and using the Kairos agent inside the machine we're going to fetch the information on how to connect to that cluster. So for that what we use is a command called getCubeConfig and this gives me all the information of that configuration which then I could either, all of these images come with K9S as well so you could do it from that node but just to show you that I also can do it from my machine all that needs to be done is copy that configuration save it locally and then point our cube config to that configuration then we start K9S is going to communicate with the cluster that we just spin up and now we can see it there. And next step we can see how we have five machines the five have been registered in the cluster three of them the first two and the last one are masters like we defined and two of them are workers and just like we can do anything that can be done at this point with a Kubernetes cluster like showing up the pods and see traffic there or any other service, KubeBeeb, anything like that and that's pretty much for the demo. As you can see it's relatively simple to set up a complete Kubernetes cluster on your edge devices. So now I would like to give you guys time for questions. Is there any question out there? Sorry? Immutable, yes, you're asking if the images are immutable, that's correct. So what we make is that the root partition and all your configurations like everything on their Etsy directory and all of that is not gonna be able to be changed because it's mounted read only. And on top of that, what some distributions do is that they create the init ramfs at the moment of doing the installation. And the problem with that is that during that step you could be at risk. But what we do is that we create the init ramfs at the moment of building the image. So at that point you're still within your network, right? Within your safe environment to a certain degree. And once you have it installed in the system even the init ramfs is read only and same thing for the boot partition. Anyone else? Yeah, at the moment we, sorry, I'm going to repeat the question. So which flavors or which distributions are supported with Kairos? And at the moment we have, as you were mentioning Ubuntu, we have Alpine Linux, we have Fedora, we have Rocky Linux. Yesterday someone coming to the booth asked me if we could make it work with Alma Linux which is very similar to the Red Hat family as you were asking, turned out just changing two, three files very simply made it work there. So I thought that was pretty cool. Red Hat, yes, but of course with Red Hat you're probably using licensing. So then there's this additional step that you have to do but it's basically supported since we have Rocky Linux and Fedora there, yeah. And we're happy to try to introduce more distributions if people are interested in them of course. The basic requirement that we need is right now our two types of systems are System D and OpenRC and ideally G-Lib C but of course for example with Alpine we only get access to Muscle. So it will really depend what your distribution offers for us to do the transition. Anyone else? Well, if it's not the case then thank you very much for your time and if you have still any other questions or you wanna try Kyro's out, we have our website where it's all the documentation and the different image matrix that we support. There's also our GitHub repository. We also have matrix and Slack channels where you can make questions and finally we have office hours. We meet at 5.30 every Wednesday European time. So if you just wanna pop up, say hi or tell us what is missing in Kyro's, please do and we'll be happy to try to make it better. Thank you.


So recently I got my hands on a fan made mod for Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkai G3 that adds countless numbers of new characters to the game. I'm talking so many new characters that they have all of Dragon Ball Super Super Hero characters and characters from the manga as well as fan made characters like Super Saiyan 5 Goku from Dragon Ball AF. So of course my mind immediately went to what happens when you do a world tournament with these characters. Do they break the game?  These are all questions that we're going to answer today as we take on the Dragon Ball World Tour in a completely modded version of Budokai Tenkai G3. I forgot to mention the mods only in Spanish. So here we go, we're entering the world tournament so the only way to win in these matches is to take your opponent's entire life or touch anything but the main stage. That's right, we're talking ring outs of course, we're talking difficulty max 3. Now to be honest, I don't know if there's even a random button. I think that might be the one thing they removed. I can't find it anyway. So instead of going random, maybe I just go, you know what, they never included Raditz and fighters so I'm just going to play Rad- No way, Dragon Ball Heroes Super Saiyan 3 Raditz is- Yeah, we're playing Raditz. Man, they got Super Saiyan 3 Raditz, they got too many characters in this game. Okay, here's the part I was worried about. The roster of other characters we're going up against could be any- Literally anybody, I have no idea. You know what, I'm going to be honest, the Spanish actually makes this more hype. Alright, so who are we going up against? Oh, Super Saiyan 5 Goku's in the game. He's fighting Android 17 from Dragon Ball- What a lineup by the way, look at these characters. Oh, is that Super Saiyan 5 Vegeta? Oh no, this tournament might be a lost cause. Super 4 Astralis. Okay, I'll be fully honest, Dragon Ball Heroes is my- Oh, New Minigame. Oh look, we're blinking across the screen. Wow, I didn't know they modded new minigames. That makes this worth it by itself. Oh, the crowd is going crazy. They know they are witnessing Dragon Ball history today. They've never seen either of these characters. Oh, they have my hairline looking especially backwards today. Okay, now I gotta be careful. This guy's from Dragon Ball Heroes 2, he's probably nice at the game. But I'm better. Oh, it's the knockout route. That's fine, I'll knock him out right now. Raditz is buff. No! Oh, I almost got him. I got him right where I want him. Ugh, let's go! He touched the side of the building, which means he wasn't on the main stage, which means he's out, and I'm in. Round 2, here we come. Look at that, let's go big win for Raditz. How did Super Saiyan- Both Super Saiyan 5s lost? How did they manage to pull- I'm fighting Gohan from Dragon Ball Super Super Hero. Oh, God, the- uh, God, this is bad. If this Gohan can go Beast, we are in trouble. Oh, he can go Beast. He's just- Look, he's the Super Hero Ultimate Gohan. He might go Beast. If that happens, I'm going Super Saiyan 3. Damn! Damn, he's got combo. No, I'm running. Oh, oh, back step. Look at that back step. Raditz is so clean. Oh, why is- Why is Spanish Gohan kind of- Damn! He missed. He's kind of hyped. That yell was kind of sick. He's still screaming. You know what?  Oh, look at that! Double Sunday. He tried to clash with Super Kamehameha, but Beast Gohan's not ready. If he's not in Beast, I don't want- Clash with that! Fire it then! Go on! Let's go! Oh, Double Sunday versus Super Kamehameha! I win! Easy win! If Double Sunday's just my- Damn, that's in 16k. If that's just my beam, then- Why's he running at me? Stop! Gohan, stop! Gohan! Ooh! Gohan, stop! Why's he screaming like that? Oh! Ooh! Super Saiyan 3. Raditz! Let's go! Combo. Oh, he's done.

So this is one of my favorite stories. It is about Krishna. By now Krishna has grown up, he has become the king and he is a much loved king. He has eight wives who absolutely adore him. He is surrounded by a court full of ministers who would give up their life for him. He has a kingdom full of people who would do anything for him. One day Krishna falls seriously ill. The kingdom is in panic. There are doctors and healers and even wise men are being brought in from all parts of the kingdom just to see what they can do but nothing is working. Finally Krishna's guru, his philosopher and his guide, Krishna's guru decides to take things into his own hands. He sends for Narada. Narada is the wandering sage. Krishna's guru sends for Narada and he says to him, he says, Krishna's illness is not physical. His soul is thirsting for love. What Krishna needs, the only thing that will make him better is the dirt from the feet of eight women who love him unconditionally. Narada smiles a little bit cynically. This Krishna needs more love. This Krishna needs more love. But he has a job to do and this is going to be the easiest job he has ever done. He needs dirt from the feet of eight women who love Krishna unconditionally. He heads straight for the palace to the eight queens. The queens are absolutely furious with Narada.  They are so angry with him, they have Narada thrown out of the palace. Narada is absolutely stunned. He can't believe what just happened. But he still has a job to do. So he goes to the next eight women of the kingdom. They also refuse him. They tell him that they loved their Krishna. They would do anything for him. But how could they be seen to be doing something that the queens have said no to? And so Narada goes to the next eight women and the next and the next eight and everywhere it's the same answer. They love their Krishna. They would do anything for him. But... And slowly Narada is beginning to understand what the Guru is saying about the soul thirsting for love, about unconditional love. Those words are taking on a whole different meaning for him. But he still has a job to do. He is still looking for eight women who are ready to give the dirt from their feet for this man who they claim to love so much. His wanderings finally take him back to the land of Krishna's youth, to the young girls, the gopis with whom Krishna grew up, whom he had loved and who had loved him back. As soon as the gopis they see Narada, they crowd around him, they bombard him with questions about Krishna. How is he? Does he still look the same? Does he still play the flute? Does he remember them? Is he ever coming back? Narada stops them. He says, Krishna needs the dirt from your feet. Without a moment's hesitation, one of them tears off the corner of her veil and the other scrapes the dirt onto it. They hand it back to Narada then they say, tell him we love him. And that, that is the thirst of the soul.


Think, Tech Hawaii on Monday, August 29th, 2022. Anybody thinking about what you wanna be when you grow up? Hopefully we have some young people in the audience or people who coach young people about what they're gonna do because we have great news for you as of midnight. This Wednesday night, the Oahu's coal burning plant which produces 20% of Oahu's electricity is going down forever. We have a big funeral service plan for it. Now, what in the world do we do for electricity if 20% of our source goes away? Well, answer in the short run is Hawaiian Electric is gonna have to power up a whole bunch of diesel burning little mini power plants but this gives us the impetus to number one bring on a whole lot more solar panels with battery storage, more wind energy. And from my standpoint, efficiency, efficiency, efficiency do more with less. And what is our new power plant eventually gonna look like? Not anything concrete.  You are gonna become suppliers to Hawaiian Electric because the whole system is going to be integrated all the way down to more and more of you are buying electric vehicles. That big battery in your electric vehicle can be a power source for Hawaiian Electric. Everybody's gonna be entering into agreement with Hawaiian Electric. Yes, you can draw from my power source for a limited amount of time. There's gonna be this incredible interconnection between the big solar, the little solar, everybody. And you're gonna say that sounds pretty gosh darn sophisticated, you're right. It is very sophisticated and it's gonna lead to a whole lot of good paying jobs. Generally speaking, the higher your skill level the better your pay and the more contribution you make too. Hawaiian Society and our goal up 100% clean energy by 2045. What does that all have to do with our honorable guest? This morning, Nicolette Van Der Lee Doctor. Congratulations, Dr. Nicolette Van Der Lee. The program manager for HANA Career Pathways coming to us all the way from Kahului Maui. She works on the Maui community. No, it's no longer community camp, college. It's Maui College. And incidentally, it is 100% clean energy powered is that campus. So another congratulations, Dr. Nicolette. Nicolette specializes in training young people for, I wouldn't say lucrative jobs, but this very good jobs provides the skills that they are needed. And today she'll be focusing on the green skills that we are going to increasingly need in the near future. So welcome, welcome, Dr. Van Der Lee and please introduce yourself. Thank you so much for having me, Howard. It's great to be here. Yes, I'm a program manager at the University of Hawaii Community College's Office of the Vice President. And we are coordinating a statewide project called HANA Career Pathways, which was developed by the Hawaii Workforce Development Council, UH, and many other partners. And it's building on the momentum of statewide industry, workforce development, and educational planning to support a thriving, diverse, and resilient Hawaii. The project is seeking to increase employment pathways to three of our most in-demand living wage job sectors, including healthcare, technology, and the skilled trades, which does encompass clean energy. So the needs that you've identified, Howard, what we've learned from our industry partners is there's gonna be hundreds and hundreds of new jobs needed to support our transition to clean energy throughout the state. And those jobs are gonna be very diverse, including licensed electricians, carpenters, masons, as well as the engineers to design the systems, the technicians to maintain them. And also thinking about the IT sector, we'll need those data analysts and all of the IT expertise to maintain those systems. So this project is exciting because it's seeking to reimagine what the workforce preparation can be. And it's actually through the Hawaiian concept of HANA, translating as work with that significance in Hawaiian culture as the act of breathing and unleashing grace to improve the world through one's work. You know, the fundamental components that we're really focusing on are offering short-term trainings that can lead to industry-valued credentials and thinking about what those pathways can be towards in-demand living wage jobs, as we know the cost of living is so high in Hawaii. We can also support pathways into apprenticeship throughout the state and develop post-apprenticeship for pathways and advancement opportunities. Wow, that's pretty darn comprehensive. I like that craze living wage jobs because you read about in the real estate industry, the average home, single family home in Hawaii is now valued at a million dollars. And then you read about employers or workers in Waikiki earning, they go from $11 an hour to $12 an hour to $13, $14 an hour, oh my goodness. That'll certainly get them a million dollar home, won't it? No. So that phrase living wage jobs is very apropos. Also, I've been around for a while and we politicians have been talking about getting our economy off of the total dependence on tourism. And that is exactly, Dr. what you are doing in providing this training. Yeah, one of the goals of the project as it is funded by a $13.3 million grant from the federal Department of Education is to support the state of Hawaii to recover from the negative impacts of the pandemic. We had so many residents that were furloughed and underemployed during the pandemic. And then of course we have many residents as well that they're working two or three jobs just to pay their bills. And so what are those in-demand career pathways that can lead to a living wage? One example in the skilled trades would be the carpenter pathway. So one of the trainings that we have developed in partnership with the Hawaii Carpenter Apprenticeship and Training Fund is a pre-apprenticeship for carpentry that's offered through Honolulu Community College as well as Maui Community College and Maui College. And we're also developing it on other islands, Kaua'i and Hawaii as well so that it has statewide potential. And the idea here is that participants can enter an eight-week training program as a pre-apprentice and they get all of the fundamental skills and introduction for the Carpenter Apprenticeship pathway. And as part of that, they also have a two-week paid internship. So we've embedded that kind of work-based learning so that they really get hands-on experience at a job site. And then students that complete that program are then offered direct entry into the registered apprenticeship program. So it's a really exciting fast-track way for young people or those interested in making a career change can pursue that carpenter pathway which does lead to advancing wages as you work towards becoming a journey worker carpenter as well, which is exciting. That's beautiful. I wish kids had these types of opportunities 20, 30 years ago. We might not be losing a population then. And I think so much is about raising the awareness of the opportunities in the skilled trades, for example, as well as the growing sector of IT. The data indicates that around 50% of our high school graduates are not immediately going on to post-secondary education. So sharing and highlighting these opportunities where we also have 100% tuition support. So most of our programs are actually free trainings and that covers the cost of the training, things like the paid internship. And then many of the trainings also include industry certifications. So for example, in the IT sector, we have trainings like AWS Cloud Foundations or CompTIA Security Plus or Network Plus offered through Honolulu Community College. And the cost of the training includes that exam preparation course as well as books and makes the exam itself free. So removing that barrier of cost is a great opportunity through these grant programs. And then a backdrop to that would be, we read more and more and more about really burdensome student debt. And people are just, they and their parents are wondering, how in the world are we going to pay all this debt? And you have provided a beautiful alternate path here. Absolutely. And for some, it may be the challenge of even just starting. It can be overwhelming to think about applying for college and what that potential student debt load might be. So a program like Honolulu Career Pathways is offering that fast track training opportunity. Most of the trainings can be completed between six weeks to 16 weeks. And at that point in time, the program also offers wraparound services so that we can help provide other resources and advisory services to students who want to now enter the workforce. What are the job opportunities and what employers could we connect them with? If they're interested in continuing their education, we see students get really excited when they come into the college experience. They may now want to pursue a two or four year degree. And so we can also support them in exploring those opportunities. Many of our trainings will have articulation into a degree program. So something like a short-term training can actually be worth about three credits towards a degree program that they could then begin. And our grant can also fund pathway advancement support so we can provide up to $2,000 for students that then enter some of these degree pathways. That is quite a contrast to parents paying up to, I think it's $40,000 a year for a full-on private university education. And that reminds me of a personal experience. I was engaged for some years to an electrical engineer, a very, very successful electrical engineer. And one reason she was successful is when she went onto the job site that where the tradesmen were installing, according to her design, she could point to something and say, this is wrong, this is wrong. And there's tough guys that are looking at her, hey, was this why you need telling us this is wrong? And she stood her ground and she knew exactly what she was talking about, why? She is from Poland and the way you trained electrical engineers in Poland was you did your academic work during the school year and you were required to go into an electrical workshop each summer and do the hands on electrical work and it really, really helped her with her EE career. Absolutely, having that hands on training experience, that's a core part of our state's apprenticeship programs. And young people that may not be aware that, hey, that's a living wage pathway for me. The programs that we're highlighting can introduce and connect our students with these opportunities. So you mentioned the carpentry, what else relevant to green jobs might you be offering there? One exciting thing I also wanted to share is that there's another new grant that has been awarded to University of Hawaii Community Colleges and it's actually in partnership with many industry sectors, including a focus on clean energy with the Hawaii Office of Energy. And so in that sector, that office will be leading a convening of all of our local employers related to clean energy. And this will enable employers to give that direct input on what are the most needed trainings to support the growth of clean energy. And so through that new project, which is called Good Jobs Challenge, Resilient Hawaii, this project will enable us to extend the work that HANA Career Pathways has begun and continue to develop new trainings, particularly in this clean energy sector. So some of the trainings that we could anticipate, Howard could be PV installation and battery-based systems design, for example, could also include things like solar safety trainings that would be the equivalent of an OSHA 10, but in the clean energy sector. And in the past, Maui College has actually worked with Solar Energy International to source that curriculum that is really a global standard leading to certifications in the solar industry. So we're looking to be able to adapt those types of trainings into the context of Hawaii and really customize and tailor that to what are the needs of our local employers so that we can prepare these future workers to bring our vision of clean energy to the state. Wow, that's wonderful. And to my knowledge, every time solar panels are installed, be it on a single family residence or in a great big solar farm, it must be accompanied by an equivalent amount of storage, of battery storage. These are batteries that look kind of like refrigerators. And what happens in Hawaii is we have such beautiful sunshine and we have so many solar panels out there that when the solar energy is produced in the middle of the day, we have no use for the majority of it. So we are now storing that excess energy in solar panels and using it in the evening. Just when the sun is going down, the demand for electricity goes up. Why everybody's coming home from school, from work, all the tourists are coming back from the beach, from tours, whatever. And the demand for electricity just goes up, just skyrocket. So those batteries stored in the middle of the day are taking care of a lot of that load. So that adds to the sophistication of solar installation and if you're gonna be doing this, you had darn well better understand how electricity works. Absolutely, it's really gonna be a diverse skill set across many occupations throughout the state that will be needed to bring this vision to fruition. So we're excited to be able to have these funding resources, Hanukkah Bear Pathways and the Resilient Hawaii Good Jobs Challenge Grant to be able to support really a rapid response to what are our local training needs and how can the community colleges and UH be able to respond to that? Wow, I like that phrase rapid response. Government is generally not known for its rapid response capabilities, but you're bringing it to the fore. And just incidentally, the island of Kauai, some days can shut down its fuel-fired power plants because they're getting so much clean energy and they're still able to store what they have to store and just run on clean energy for some hours of the day. So the dream of 100% clean energy is coming upon us. Absolutely, and it'll be also that mix that's needed to support that. So solar, wind, are there opportunities for biofuels as well? Hawaii has that opportunity to be a model for the world as we're addressing all of the pressing challenges of climate change and the need to develop more efficient and resilient systems. Glad you mentioned the word biofuels. I just had the privilege of touring Honolulu Harbor and the technicians were showing us how all this stuff comes in, how it's sorted and all the stuff that goes out. And a major, major customer there at the Honolulu Waterfront is Pacific biodiesel. They make diesel fuel from plants generally on the big island and then they put it in great big containers and ship it over here and then the empty containers have to go back again. So it's already a major component and hopefully it's gonna be growing. And here's another skill set that's needed. Yeah, it's really interesting to also consider how agriculture is part of that design and development of clean energy. So here on Maui, we've seen the sunflower fields of Pacific biodiesel growing and thriving. So it's really fascinating to see how we can have local inputs that can contribute to those new types of models. And a subset of that is when we try to find a land for a new solar farm, being acres and acres of solar panels, we say, oh, there's that ag land. And the farmers say, no, no, no, we need that to grow crops. So a subset of this is finding those crops that can grow nicely under the partial sun so that you have the panels mounted, say eight feet up and then you space it such it's your machinery and your people can get under that. And the crops that grow are partially shaded, which crops grow best? So that's another little scientific subset going on here. Yeah, it'd be really fascinating to see different pilot projects throughout the islands that could be exploring these different types of technologies, also considering the importance of preserving our watershed and natural resources throughout the islands. Are there ways to integrate the solar farms that are actually designed within a broader scope of protecting our native forests, looking at ways to more carefully manage potential impact of flood during climate change? How do the systems integrate within the landscape as well? I think these are gonna be really interesting initiatives to see going forward as the transition to clean energy takes place. Yeah, very, very exciting stuff. So we've just got a few minutes left here. Let's see, we've done carpenters, electricians, oh, computer scientists. We're getting, you know, this is really gonna be intricate stuff where we're, Hawaiian Electric and the other utilities are drawing power from individual homes that are producing. And they're using that power as they need it just second by second. And that's gonna require some really, really intricate knowledge and skills. So how about computer science, things like that to get going on that way? Yeah, it's part of our HANA Career Pathways project as well as the new Resilient Hawaii Good Jobs Challenge initiative. We will be partnered with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii as a convener for the technology sector. And so our local employers in the technology sector that need computer scientists, programmers, analysts, technicians, you know, the full gamut of occupational needs will again be able to have that input through Chamber of Commerce Hawaii's convening and be able to design, you know, what are those jobs of the future? You know, there's certainly needs now in the IT sector for local jobs. And the pathways to those, you know, may require having on the job training, are there apprenticeship opportunities that could be developed in the technology sector so that our young people can learn from, you know, seasoned professionals and not have to leave the islands to get that kind of education. So it's exciting to see how we can, you know, develop our local capacity for technology, skills, education and career pathways and, you know, keep our young people in the islands to share all of the, you know, human capital and the capacity that we have to problem solve with clean energy, you know, is gonna be one of our key activities. You know, this reminds me of young people who want to become doctors. They just don't get their degree and march off to a hospital room and start operating. They have to go through their internship and their residency. And it sounds like you are promoting a version of the same thing. You become more and more and more skilled under the mentorship of people who are in the field. I think that's absolutely one of the opportunities. And, you know, University of Hawaii participates in the P20 partnership, which is really looking at educational pathways from, you know, preschool all the way to post-secondary. So partnering with our local high schools into the community colleges and the four-year universities, you know, that's the pathway approach so that we can help students find their passion, you know, make an informed decision about what education they would like to pursue and then be able to provide that locally through all of our collaborative resources between the colleges as well as our workforce and industry partners. That is exciting stuff, doctor. You know, when I was a kid, maybe even when you at your youth, or you were a kid, it was kind of assumed that we were headed for college and we have since learned the hard way that not everybody is headed for college.  Find out what instills your passion and sounds like you're doing exactly that. Yeah, I think there's so many diverse experiences available for our local students, you know, exploring apprenticeship opportunities, you know, looking at an internship as a way to explore if that's the right career pathway for you, earning a, you know, a fast track industry certification that can immediately give you some qualifications to pursue a career. And then always knowing that you have that option to come back to college or come to college and pursue the degree that's also gonna help you advance and increase your living wage, you know, capacity. You know, for me, it's all about sharing those opportunities with our students and making our resources easy to find and easy to share. So I'd like to also direct people to our website if we could bring up our final slide as a way to explore the trainings that we do have available through the Hanukkaher Pathways Project, uhcc.hawaii.edu slash training. We'll get you right to the different trainings that we do have available. So for example, the carpenter pre-apprenticeship program that's offered starting this October at Honolulu Community College as well as many other trainings like IT that I mentioned as well. So welcome people to explore that website and also reach out to me if they have any follow-up questions, have my email and contact information here. Wow, that is totally, totally wonderful. Looking back at my high school experience, I wish that I and my high school buddies had this type of a choice. That's just really, really good news, doctor. And we have come to a close. We must bid fond adieu. Howard Wigg, Code Green, Think Tech, Hawaii. Doctor Nicolette Vander Lee, thank you so much. You are just making Hawaii a wonderful, wonderful place. So we need to bid fond aloha to all. Thank you so much for watching Think Tech Hawaii. If you like what we do, please like us and click the subscribe button on YouTube and the follow button on Vimeo.

So the cool thing about chi-coil you can listen to these things, these sounds, this is free by the way, you can download it from the website. So you can listen to these and you'll get a pretty good fact from it. You'll feel good, you'll feel happy, you'll feel luckier, you'll relieve stress. And then you can also plug them into the chi-coils and then you can turn them into magnetic energy. It goes even deeper. So it goes even deeper. Because the sound waves are good. Yeah, so they turn to magnetic energy.   So when you turn them on, they start shaking violently inside of this jar because the magnetic waves are going, pulsing out of the coil and moving the jar and moving the ball.
