We were being creative because Robin all of them are very talented like on their own from writing Arranging recording like, you know, I've watched you guys since the show and then robin I from the same city said we were able to actually get together and are you sending me heart? I You're so cute. Yeah, but you leave people but No, we make really good music and yes I'm out Yo, yeah, can we get some live real quick? Probably not right quick. Let's write the end Because you know what you just said something dope, right? This will first let's do something like if we get like like your solo situation And we're in it all collectively So No They all got solo projects. Yeah, you've been right Yeah, they're one of the only groups that actually all five of them have their own solo projects. That's very true That's a really believe they they never stop working no matter what was going on.  I like for personally, I just like to sing but I'd like to write Can you sing something? Uh-oh Can you sing like since you've been gone?   Oh, Brian finer than all of us Oh Yeah, that's my dog Have determined who was fine I didn't know that Man, I appreciate that man, thank you so much man, but this is about you guys right now And 100% but I'd really do I ain't gonna even friend y'all y'all y'all coming back together collectively and uh, you know what I'm saying This is a resurgence y'all on uh, y'all y'all on millennium two two. Yes. Yes. Okay.  Yeah, hey, tell me who have people been throwing out there And nobody good versus Somebody won't just smoke, but I don't know honestly If we go on the verses like the other verses that we just saw yeah, I could do danity came No, that would be different That would be interesting. I think it would be more entertaining Yeah, I think that that would be a dope bad boy, you know reunion versus get together I think we'll get a lot of ass in the verses No, no, we'll get there. I'm wait a minute. Now y'all think the job would keep the women's asses Not like really per se He said it They gonna they gonna lose Absolutely Yeah, women are just so Like right now. We're so dope Even if you thought you were gonna win just give it to us. Hey, man, but hold on. We don't take it anymore. We'll have women not been dope Thank you Y'all If they said it that's gonna say Mike said all the women's What if y'all learned from the past verses that y'all not gonna do not drink before Probably Did y'all watch the Oh, I'm gonna definitely talk I love when you don't want to talk about Yeah, okay What were you thinking when you watched it? It was entertaining Like what was going through your head? Did you expect it to be the the response? Um, hey, they own two with the niggas Yeah They're on a tour with the guys. They're on the millennium tour everybody on the tour Everybody's on the tour. So they're not finna do that Do what? No, I don't know what your opinion of the verses is.  That's what you're gonna get. That's what you're gonna get from this. Yeah. Yeah like like Hands down Mario was professional. He was he was on point. You know what I'm saying? What was on point everything like, uh, you know in my opinion like I feel like, um That verses should have been more concentrated on like the actual music instead of like niggas getting out there and performing You know what I'm saying? Because like verses to me I felt like it was you know, it's more of celebrating like the great music that all these artists have like But you know, it looks very competitive now. Yeah, I think people prepare themselves to like change the format They definitely change with that with that verses. The format has changed So now when people see verses now, they think Need to talk to shit and give me some kind of performance to make me feel like But it was supposed to be just songs, but it's different now No, it is it's a different platform But it's a reason for that because we're not in a pandemic anymore. So they gotta let it You know turning it to make it a little uh, right? I want to say Make it delicious. Yeah, so everybody's all tuned in to see but you know what? I think that it was in a form of like a healthy Congratulating or remembering that time That time for that. Yeah Right So you do you guys even like that platform? Yeah, yeah And it's a couple of different reasons right Because you know, it's the the majority of groups even though they have certain songs everybody's not a vocalist right right You know, that makes it difficult that makes it super difficult, you know different eras We didn't have a lot of people in our era for us r&b Groups so it's like kind of you know, they won't say like pretty ricky, but that's more of a rap r&b It ain't and it's only one vocal And at some point it comes down just to records which they have the records, but we got the voices Yeah, it ain't too many people that can do a verses with j2. No, it ain't two that two groups No If we take it back to the 90s Yeah Drew Hill Outside of that we kind of like You know what do we do and you know I feel like the verse is kind of like opened up a door for like r&b Like for like groups like us and groups that can actually Sing, you know I'm saying not saying that they didn't they can't sing or anything Not saying that but it just opened up a door for an opportunity for like groups like us, you know what I'm saying The conversation is definitely back. Yeah And listen, I want to take this moment right here while we're talking about this You know I'm saying to get y'all to like get them a little taste of y'all individually so they can see what I'm talking about All of you guys sing Individually and before a group Already yeah since you've been gone, I just can't seem to get And I miss you more than you'll ever know Girl, I just want a chance to talk to you and let you know that I changed Since you've been gone, I stayed awake all night This bed just ain't the same without you and I feel like I lost it all Since you've been gone since you've been gone from me That was perfect That's that's that's that's that's that's that's I promise and everything I got I paid for it. All right I'ma let jack do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let jack do it and don't type in day 26 either No, put anything go to my library. I'm gonna let you do it. I got you. Okay, but get off of apple I've been go to my library. That's where we are. That's where the truth. That's where the truth comes out But you didn't before the show no, it might tell you how long Yeah Hey, man, after just hearing that live man, I got I got a question man like cuz that was exceptionally dope.  What was the burn? They couldn't follow it.  They gotta get we got this So y'all were the openers they were the headliners and they were Yeah You see this type of shit on movies and what now, but you know that the average person it's gotta come from somewhere I heard about that I heard about in the past y'all burnt niggas on the screen tour We've been It's gonna be good though. Yeah Hey, what's going on man? It's your boy jack thriller man. And uh, yo, listen, um when i'm talking about matters of the heart Uh My go-to is my play a part of music so child. I love this second. It's called love according to music Music i had a question for you, man. Here we go again. I know you like No, it's cool. It's cool. Yeah, that's what i'm here for All right, all right so I was talking to this girl and she keep on using this word and I don't get it. Okay. It's called Situationship. Ah, what is a situation ship? Our relationship so a situation ship is anything but a marriage Basically, um, that if I were to translate that, um, again, I don't know this person and I don't know where You know what her meaning is but that's what it sounds like to me anything but something that's locked down solidified committed to Agreed upon mutually with the intent to follow through, you know A situation ship is Whatever the status of the relationship is at that moment, you know with whoever Um, and it's not necessarily exclusive to one person um, so Just like the other episode when we talked about, you know, the concept of being single until married Um, yeah, I think that that's all of that gray area You know, so it's it's it's a it's a it's a it's an engagement You know with a person I don't mean like the ring engagement I mean, however you engage with a person under intimate circumstances that don't really have Any real structure, you know, it's really like Whatever y'all say go at the moment You know, like y'all want to meet up and y'all want to go eat Yeah, y'all want to, you know, go hang out play golf.  Yeah, I want to Oh, no Netflix and just chill, you know, like it's it's whatever it's happening at the moment, you know You know conceptually I would Uh, uh, also equate that to friends with benefits so to speak so, yeah, um Anything but a solidified Committed relationship as that's what my understanding of a situation ship is I'm definitely satisfied with that man. Thanks a lot music This is love according to music. I'm jack griller.  Yeah So do y'all do that now? Yeah Because how long ago was the show? This is our 50th anniversary. Congratulations. No, you get better with time that way tomorrow Congratulations So are y'all still all cool with diddy? Yes, that's the homie. So is he a part of how you guys put together? No, no, no Yeah, dr.

Yeah In the girl, but we are thankful for the situation, you know You know, these guys the the whole movement, you know, we got a we got a uh a responsibility You know to keep the movement going, you know what I'm saying Did y'all feel a certain type of way At this uh this past award show No No, because we had a because we had a like we had an opportunity to do something like come out with them Like when he did the bad boy reunion tour, so it was supposed to have been something then but you know, it just didn't work out So, you know Okay, so y'all know the people want to know why is it not working out. Let's see them y'all on the new jacket Well Is it right? It was You know what I'm saying like that's one thing like I've I've actually come down a lot on Okay, you know what I'm saying like I've always been the person that was like super vocal, you know what I'm saying I felt some type of way.  You not have dates what he said, but it's a very valid very valid He's saying that we're working on that and we're talking to them and it's making it happen Oh Ain't on it what kind of is this and So could you explain that?

I'm not at all My name is Brian and I'm an Aquarius And I'm like a long walks on the beach and I like a woman that's quiet Mrs. Universe So that just closed down the deal period Yeah Hey, I don't think that was worth it though. It is what it is.  So what's different in y'all lives from when you guys were on making the band?  Wow super loaded.  Okay, and when business isn't right, you know, I'm gonna get very vocal about it I don't care. I was very young. I didn't care how it looked I didn't care if it looked like immaturity or anything like that. I was expressing myself because I felt like I was being cheated out of business Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with she was expressing herself. I was very emotional about it because I I feel like I work hard for everything You did bro. Yeah, no, you weren't crazy.  I'ma leave her That was very difficult, how did y'all get through that? Jesus You know But it was Jesus to that hunger at this at that time So we're really it's hard now that I think about it, but when we was doing it We was like I was just like I had a battery in my back. You know, I'm saying like just great So everything we saw that was what See we from that era of reality tv where it was real Yeah, not, you know, no disrespect to any other reality shows, but y'all know back then what you saw was like Right, it took you it took you six eight months to film a show for one season.   They want to go to the bathroom. No You can't even whisper in the toilet.  Yeah, it's real serious out here now. Like niggas getting their asses I'm not here. I'm not here. I'm not here, dude.

Because you wanted them parts Oh, wow, how did you get that back in?    You know what I'm saying? I just wanted to make things right with y'all. You know, that's dope. We need more men and women Let's take that accountability to bring it back together. That's what it's about. I like you my brother No, that was dope.  This it don't look right when it don't it look right, but it don't You you I felt it was just way too premature for Michael Jackson moment right now You know what I'm saying? You got to let that thing do what it do in similar And yeah, yeah, yeah 100% Oh, but what I was asking though was like people from other groups You know I'm saying they're coming up on solo artists saying hey put me in the group Like a destiny show Oh, wow, it's a fraternity We had to get strikes to get in this group And a person in just because you feel like you can be in it Right. On top of that our fans won't allow that. I'm gonna be honest, but they're gonna be like, what did he do?  I don't got no back story You gotta have a back story to get him out of the moods I'm a fan and I don't like when I see that, you know, if I see a group that's really dope And then you see another member or whatever and they probably get I'll sing the original one But it's just something about that original that Time out time out So y'all mean to tell me y'all had a problem when Michelle came our fairer came in Disney child That was a group.  I was going with it. I was trying to let us where this is gonna go It just wasn't blessing it just is different. Hey, you see you see I remember the nigga name.

Yeah Watch what I say people gonna have my back on this.   Y'all know he used to strip. I tell everyone You know what? Somebody told me I was like not my brother. Not my brother. No, he really was a stripper Tell me your name, boo. Uh, it was bob wire. He's small, but he'll cut you. That was my mom. Oh, wow I'm good, I like what you say Brother What On a good night what you made. Oh, I had a Wednesday night that was just dope for me because I had the same Customer and she used to bring me the same thing. You know a lot about this this delicious night. Yes it must be. Right out of like Wednesday nights. Because we had certain nights.  You had to hit that one night where it was accepted and that's that Wednesday night. He been trying to expose me for that one bro. Me too. Me too. And Jack. Yeah. You remember why you quit? Yes. Why? Because the lady I was talking about that brought me the money every Wednesday. She got very, very, very possessive. She showed up. She showed up. She showed up one day not all of it up and stuff waiting on me to go in. And I didn't know how to say no because how much money I've made from her. So I was like, dang, what do I do? And then she got belligerent. She took it? No, she got. No, what she did take, she had bought me a dope leather jacket for my birthday and presented it to me. You know what I've been doing. So I used to wear it on Wednesdays because I know she'd bring me money. She took my jacket. She took everything. I'm like, man, just leave me alone. She took a jacket bag. I said, Lord, if you get me out of this, I'll never strip again. The money is good though, man. I'm gonna just be honest. The money is amazing in Detroit because it's a scene. It's a real scene. No, it is. But Jack said he used to make $47 a night. That was a good night for me. But listen, I was dancing on South though. I was dancing on South. It's all nuts. The worst? I was a straight gummy bear up there, man. Two bears in a worm right there. I got butt naked on the first song. Now you know you're embarrassing the family. Don't do us like that. The good thing is that it pushed your music.  So I was able to actually push my music through that. So I was still doing my thing. I just noticed the market, like, you know what I'm saying? Now I got a whole city knowing my record, a whole city of women, but that's who you want to know your record anyway. So it worked out in my favor. So I wasn't just stripping to be stripping. Yeah, I had a 10 minute signal. It was bitches over money for me. I was a bum. B.O.B. B.O.M. So you didn't get no money. You just rather get paid in bitches. I got paid in bitches and I had gas money to get home. I know Willie said, no, y'all need to get off this stripping because he wants to, but I just got to know, what was your stripper name? Willie was in Chocolate City. That was an act. Now you, now you gotta have a little bit and you know I'm friends with your wife. Yeah, I'm a bad mother. Were you ever a stripper in your day? No, no, no. I always said, if I did it though, I'd be a bad motherfucker. Okay, cool. Rob, what was your name? Magnum. You know, I go by Magnum.  You know what? I think we should change something, too. That's what I'm saying. What y'all want me to do, Rob? We don't want you to do nothing else. Hey man, do you have a question? This is my last time that y'all ever call him Magnum.  Listen, y'all gotta know this. That one, I don't team call him Magnum. Y'all know nothing else. Yeah. What does this name work?  I ain't call him that. It just trickled over into that. It was actually from my music. It just means a thing. But I mean like Magnum P.I. or Magnum P.I. Just like the biggest thing. Yeah, I thought of Magnum P.I. Extreme. It was music at first. It just tripled over into that because it makes sense. I don't care. I don't like it.  So when she come into the strip club, everyone said it was like Magnum. And if y'all remember the song, it's this. I remember the song. So that's where it came from really. It's the song. That's what's up man. She's the reason why my name is Magnum. Okay, y'all. We 15 minutes in now. I'm sorry. I got you my papa. No, I ain't one. You threw him this way. I was going back to this group. Hey, so y'all shooting a reality show right now as we speak. What's going on with this? Is this like making them after the band, after the show, it's the after party? What's up? It's for the day ones, man. We knew how entertaining it would be for us to be in any place together. So just getting all them conversations. Off our chest about what would be what would happen at certain times with Q. And just trying to will this whole thing and get a yes. Whoever had the issues at the time is being addressed. And letting the fans be able to join in and hear the conversation.  One thing I can appreciate though, like this time around. I know like everything is so drama driven. You know what I'm saying? I feel like us as Black men, we already come out with like, we're born with a target on our back, you know? So it's like we're already fighting. I was in Target earlier. We're good. Go to Jackie. Go to Jackie. I mean, right in the middle. Yeah, I did. Me too.  Automatically. So like, I'm happy that we're in the right now.  Like automatically. So like, I'm happy that we're not like, resulting to what the average reality show is resulting to like violence and throwing drinks and fighting. You know what I'm saying? Like we're actually like hashing things out as we started in it. Yeah, that's how it is. I'm talking about it. Don't get that. Don't get it twisted. It's a few fights though. It's not a lot of fighting. It's a few. It depends on what you fight about. We sprinkling in here. We sprinkling a couple fights in here.   No, he just get his point off, man.  It was more passion-driven arguments.  But you know what I mean? And how they handle it. But it's an order. Right. As older men now, we can look at it as a 69 situation, you know what I'm saying? Whoa, pause. Come on, man. I'm telling you. I know. I know. I know where you're going. A six. A six, bro. Six looks like a nine. A nine looks like a six. On my side, your side. So we can look at it as different ways now, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, because you guys have grown, obviously. But speaking of 69, man, do you still talk to Dunn? You still talk to Dunn, bro. Speaking of 69. Speaking of 69. I mean, right now I don't know how to answer this question. What? No, I mean, I don't know. I don't know how to answer this question because I haven't communicated with her in a long time. So I don't know how to answer questions about this. No, he said that you still talk to her. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No. So you don't, you actually. So y'all like really had ended up on a bad note, ain't I? No. Just grew apart? Yeah. Just a relationship, though. I was telling you apart. It's just, you know. What would you say? We had some disagreements, you know what I'm saying?   It could be totally different, you know. That's what I was asking you about. Y'all didn't go together for real. The y'all have anything going on. They went together. They went together, man. Yeah. But it's over now. And life goes on. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord.  Look, I like that. You like, no, we got a show tomorrow. Yeah, that's what everybody's going to be, you know. Yeah, but everything's good, though. You know what I'm saying? Everything's very good. You know, this is a really good conversation, which you're just bringing up right now. Because, you know, will he be the voice of reason in the group? No.  He ain't the one to keep you, he's not the leader. I think it varies, like, between all of us, you know what I'm saying? Like, we all have, like, our moments. So what do you each one of y'all represent in the group as far as keeping each other, you know, in line and together? What are y'all known for? Who y'all to go to for what? Who's the angry? You're angry? Who's the responsible? Who's the money guy? Who's the business guy? I'm angry.   He's the business man right here. Who's the easy one?  Nobody can be easy going. I might ask. You're probably more easy going to anybody else. He seems very easy going. Who's emotional? Me. That's called toughness, right? You look like it's both of them. I think it's these two right here. Rob and him? They're both emotional. Who's the most irrational? Who's the most irrational? Irrational. Like, their points don't even make sense. Just jump off for no reason without hearing what's going on. I feel like you're directing that. I start off like that. Yeah, I'm about to say it. Now, we just had this situation the other day and it was definitely this. I think we all know that. Conversation is key to every relationship whether it's a business, a romantic relationship, whether it's a relationship, it's key to everything. So there was something being discussed and it wasn't being properly... Received. No, conveyed to me. It wasn't like... You didn't get all the information you needed the right way. Are you misunderstood? I'm very misunderstood. That's what it is. I know. Come on. No. Hey. I like the... Whenever I'm talking to a group... Who am I? Whenever I'm talking to a group, I always... I'm always in the frame of mind. And I've asked like five heartbeat questions by like six of them already.  Okay, I'm gonna sing to her, too. Have y'all ever done that right? They competed for a woman. Yeah, or ran a train. Just in case. Or ran a train. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. He just slew that one in there. Yeah, I heard you slipping in. You just slowed down. Hold on. Have y'all ever competed? Let's build up.  You didn't even build us up. We didn't get the part. We didn't get the part take in any type of train. Running off the train. No, y'all were young. She was quiet. I don't know what you're talking about. A train is like, yo. Oh, we know what a train is. We don't do that. You for the school us on trains?  He goes. Nothing I've ever participated, but that doesn't mean I'm not familiar with what it is. I know. I'm not very familiar with it. Did you do the sideline? Uh-huh. No, I'm not talking about what they're like. No, I'm talking about what they're like. What they're like. No, I'm talking about what they're like. Because I know they're lying. No. I know they're lying. Yeah, not you. No. No.  Okay, who wants you? You want me to tell you a secret? Uh-oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You want me to tell you a secret? What?  Jack, I'm gonna say it. You want. No, I don't know anything about the train. No, we don't protect anything like that. No, but I know that you guys were very young. Yeah, we were young. And y'all were very wild. We ain't do it. And y'all were very sexy. And I know that it was like, I'm sure y'all had y'all own women coming after y'all before y'all were famous. But once y'all became Day 26, I'm sure they were coming like left and right. So, to answer your first question, because I ain't going to damn train questions, but that's your first question. No. You never banged each other's girl by mistake. What? Not your real woman. Just sure you met her on the tour. Okay, so you already answered it by not answering. Thank you. I figured this already. I assumed that that would happen. Yeah. Man, why do you try to prove this? I'm going to show your growth. No. Listen. I want to show our growth. There's a lot of growth. Know that. The growth is there. So, if you want to know, I actually put online and I told my fans, I said, listen, I'm interviewing Day 26. And they asked you like that? Oh, I got questions. I know.  They want to know some stuff. I know. Because you got to think about it. You guys, it's five of y'all. Yeah. And y'all, always together, fighting, touring. We've had guests who have told us that, yeah, you know, sometimes we keep the dome. I'm not going to stay in an out situation. Well, guess what? We got happy homes.   Oh, and they don't know. Oh, you married a home girl. Oh, shoot. Yeah, I'm married a home girl. Congratulations. She's white. Yeah. She ain't no damn man. That's a good woman, man. No training. That's a good woman. Yeah. No trains, no cars, no planes. Hold on. It's the one I'm talking about, right? Yeah. Okay. What are you talking about, Jack? I used to. Your brother? I used to go do him by the law. He was blessing the earth. That's what he said. Yeah. No. He was just being fruitful. He ain't multiply. Yeah. Yeah. No children. Yo, so, man. Yo, Q, man, let's talk about, I want to know what you was doing. Did you go do your own solo project, man, while y'all was having a downtime? Let me see. Let me think. Did I? I don't think so. No. I didn't work in those solo. No, because I was going through, I was going through depression, brother. Oh, yeah. No. In music period. In music. You went in that mode. You know what I'm saying? Really? Yeah. So was it the fame? What got you there?  And when you get in that lifestyle, and they changed the way you got to look, you know, your whole lifestyle changes.  People start talking about you. You know what I'm saying? I was young. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, damn, I can't keep up with this. You know what I'm saying? So it caused me to go into this really great depression, man. It was crazy to where I had to get, I talked to a doctor just to clear my mind out and to clear my thoughts. And now I'm 33 years old and I'm a lot stronger, way better. I see things a lot clearer. You know, I'm an observer. That's dope. What would you say to men? Because there are a lot of men right now. Just on some seriousness, if you guys are connected to social media, there are so many different people that are taking a position to address the mental health crisis that's going on right now. Oh yeah. I mean, I've actually suffered from that since going through my separation from my husband. Oh wow. And yeah, and it's crazy because you don't think that you could be a depressed person if you've never experienced it. Exactly. I'm a depressed person. So when I saw myself on making a band acting like that, I immediately wanted to get help and figure out why was I triggered like that. Because that didn't come from the person that I represent. It was very different. So what do you say when you're speaking to other young men about getting into therapy and handling the mental health crisis that they're going through? I would definitely tell them don't be silent. Speak up. You know, when you're silent, that's when you suffer. You know, when you're scared to speak up because you think you're going to be judged or no one's going to understand you. You know, speak up to people that you can really trust. Right. And sometimes when you put that trust in those people, it's hard because they betray you. So you got to really find people that you can really, really trust. You know, that's why I say a doctor or a therapist. You know, you can't really trust them either. But you know, talk to someone serious who can clear your thoughts, you know what I'm saying? Or talk to God. Talk to God, yeah. For a long time. Talk to God. How did you, did you guys know that he was going through that? Could you see that? Hell yeah. Yeah, we dealt with it as a group and tried to, you know, shield him and protect him. Y'all knew it was depression? We didn't know where it was. I feel like this, I feel like this, like us, like in the black community, like we don't like, we kind of like look down our noses when it comes to like therapy. But like, yo, like, this is the Charlemagne all the time. Like mental health. Like mental health is like a real thing. It is. And it's okay. It's okay.   It's necessary. What would you do if you had a heart attack? You would go to the hospital. To a doctor. So this is a part of your body and is one of the most active, you know, parts of the body. So I think that men, especially black men have been conditioned to believe that they have to be strong. They're not supposed to cry. You know what I'm saying? That's a sign of weakness. You don't need help. You know, you're supposed to do that in behind closed doors or whatever. And that was just, that was backwards and primitive. And I think that more men, especially black men, need to speak on how we need to be human. But it's nothing. When people speak on mental health, sometimes you don't know what other people are receiving.  Right. You know what I mean? And so that's a hard thing to explain to anybody.  You know what I mean? So it's definitely difficult. Do you speak about it? I just started speaking about it because I was embarrassed at first about mental health.  But then recently, when Brian came back and we all just started like talking, I was just like, I felt the release, you know, and I just started opening up more and was like, you know what? My story can change someone else's life. It can change. Somebody can kill themselves. That's dope. And has anybody else in the group suffered from mental health or felt suicidal at any point? I mean, I'm sure they all, at one point, all of us. When you went through a situation with diabetes, you know, you was just bruised around. I really, at that point, I really, I counted myself out of day 26. I counted myself out of music and everything because I've never been sick ever in my life, period.  Like, you was handling it real good. Cause remember, he's gonna say we in a singing group called the sugar diabetes boys. I said, bro, don't call me. I'm not in there. We was eating candy all the time. I can't wait now. But go ahead. But no, the mental health part of it though, I didn't feel like I, I didn't want to be a burden to that situation. You know, that's where my, I started feeling like I'll be a burden. Like, oh my God, like I was shooting myself six times. I'm at four times a day and it count eight. If you count, Oh, got you. with insulin. The way it got that far. Yeah, it was, it was really good. Thank God. Like I was, I was able to reverse it. I had to get my mental health together to be able to reverse it because I just, it took over everything.  My wife. Okay. Um, and my wife and my father, my father's a bishop, you know, and he was one of the people that actually talked to me about actually talking to somebody because I'm like, I've been taught to talk to God my whole life. And that's the only person I feel like I need. Right.  Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Whatever the case might be. So, but he, my dad didn't inform me like even as a pastor, even as a bishop, I've talked to someone. I, you know what I'm saying? So it took a lot of that. And then, you know, and a lot of me just seeing this situation and not wanting it to be like that. Right. Like I am. So, you know, I just got on my grind. I started drinking. I started drinking my water. I started working out. I started changing my diet a hundred percent. And then I was able to turn it around a hundred percent. But I had to get, I had to get out of my own way first. Yeah. Now that talk to somebody and tell them how I felt. That you needed it. Yeah. That this was happening to you. Yeah.  Period. You need to deal with that. Right. That's tough. But I'm glad that you guys all got help. I mean, all of you had to go and get some type of help for that. Mm-hmm. And do you guys think that the main culprit was fame? No. Man was my father passing. Oh. So for me, it was a different ball game. I think I've been stronger up until that point. Well, actually it's a year, you know, a few days actually. So it's been a year since he's been gone. I think it, I, man, I was gone.  Right there. Yeah, man. So I had left, went to Sedona, tried to go out there, walked the mountains, talked to God. It was a struggle. Because, you know, nobody would really, that's what I was saying, nobody would really listen, understand what that is. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think that it is so flawed that more men are talking about it, though. Yeah. Because it's compelling. Because there are more people that are going through it than that are not. Yeah. They're just not speaking. For sure. Totally dope. Okay. Yeah, I got us really nice and emotional. I don't even want to talk about trains anymore. I was going to bring it back. I was going to circle back. In the room. I was going to circle back. You know it. No, just like. I like it.  Thank you. So what's next? What do y'all want people to know about Day 26? New album. Oh, yeah. Crazy. Okay. New album. New album. Crazy, man. New album. Exclusives, bias, E and T. N city, my manager Norm, We always talk about when you see a legendary group and they come out later on with new music. So are you y'all sticking to the day 26 sound or y'all going with some current shit? It has pointing 저희 and we convinced Oh, you saying like a boy it out like we're going back to the heart man we're gonna make people fall in love again okay because that should be getting weird sometimes when you see niggas that can really sing and they start goddamn you and a gang now and then we know we got a core fan base that we got to stick to and that and you know everybody knows that but we definitely trying to we definitely trying to grasp a new fan base to come along with them so what we did was we hooked up with the exclusives that give us that sound that we need that give us that core group sound that y'all all love and used to but know how to put it on a way that it sounds good with the radio today and put it on another level that so I don't have to try to step up to you chasing radio man it's all just great music bro if it touched the heart I think that's gonna be the biggest translator right there the fact we sing it straight I think the magical thing when we started creating the music is it was it was done from scratch with a piano so it definitely isn't for like it could be for radio but it wasn't like the purpose like oh this might be the purpose of this album is is for our fans and for new fans to actually get back what they call R&B being dead it's not we finish show you why it sounded real classic right now it sounded real classic but that's why we dedicate everything to our fans we are working on it right now so we got our names we can throw out there but can we speak on the yeah Ralph can we speak on it no no okay oh so y'all do that wait no clear yeah no we got a couple of dope features but that's dope and then you guys are on the tour right so when does the tour start October 7th what's the first city Hampton okay man go and give everybody our social media man you know I know y'all got some more famous shit to do we're gonna hold y'all up official day 26 y'all make sure official day 26 mine is I am Brian Angel again I am Brian Angel that is man day 26 y'all y'all give it a for one more time like I always say you just can't say you really something you gotta be thank y'all for coming to the new Jack thrillers show


So, good afternoon. So, last time we were looking at the Cholesky decomposition and he closed out the discussion, summarized the chapter and then started discussing about Hermitian and symmetric matrices. And I alluded to three applications where Hermitian matrices are useful or they arise in such applications. The first was in computing the Hessian of a matrix. The second was in the quadratic form and the third was in graph theory. So we'll continue the discussion about Hermitian and symmetric matrices. This is a fairly long chapter in Haun and Johnson. So we'll go through that chapter in some detail. We begin with the basic definition that the matrix A of size n cross n is said to be Hermitian if A equals a Hermitian. The Hermitian is nothing but the conjugate transpose of the matrix. We say that the matrix is q Hermitian if A equals minus a Hermitian. So that's the basic definition. Now, some very immediate and obvious facts are like this. For any matrix A, if I consider the matrix A plus A Hermitian or A A Hermitian or A Hermitian A, they're all Hermitian matrices. Just take the conjugate transpose of this, you will get the matrix back. Now, if A is Hermitian, then A power k is Hermitian matrix for any integer power. And in fact, if A is non-singular, A inverse is also Hermitian. Then if A and B are two Hermitian symmetric matrices, then their linear combination with real valued coefficients A A plus B B is also a Hermitian symmetric matrix. Of course, if I take complex valued coefficients here, then it did not remain Hermitian after the linear combination. And for any matrix A, if I consider the difference between A and A Hermitian, that is going to be skew Hermitian. Because if I take the Hermitian of this, that becomes A Hermitian minus A, which is minus of A minus A Hermitian. These are very useful properties. We'll see that in a second. And similarly, if you take two skew Hermitian matrices, then their linear combination with real valued coefficients is always skew Hermitian. And if A is a Hermitian matrix, then IA is a skew Hermitian matrix in vice versa. That is, if A is a skew Hermitian matrix, then IA will be a Hermitian matrix. Any matrix A, whether it's Hermitian or not, can be written as the sum of two matrices. The first matrix being one half A plus A Hermitian, the other being one half A minus A Hermitian. So if I expand this out, I get half A plus half A, which is equal to A, and half A Hermitian minus half A Hermitian, which goes to zero. So this is equal to A. And this first part here is H of A. This is a Hermitian symmetric matrix. This second part, I call it S of A, and that is a skew Hermitian matrix. So this is called the Hermitian part of A, and this is called the skew Hermitian part of A, and this representation is unique.  And similarly, if I take half A minus A Hermitian, then I'll get S. So this, there's a one-to-one correspondence between A and the two matrices H and S. I can't write A in any other way as the sum of a Hermitian symmetric matrix and a skew Hermitian matrix. A similar result is that each A, or any A in c to the n cross n, can be uniquely written as A equal to S plus I t, where both S and t are Hermitian. That is almost trivial from this, because if S is, if I can write A as H plus S and S is skew Hermitian, I can write this S as I squared minus I squared times S, and I, that will be the same as I times I S, and I S is going to be Hermitian symmetric, because S is skew Hermitian, that's something we just saw. So that's exactly what is here.  This is a skew Hermitian part of A with the factor half, and then when I multiply that by I, I get a Hermitian symmetric matrix, and then there is an I times sitting here. So this coefficient is square root of minus one, but S and t need not be real valued matrices. But the point is both S and t are Hermitian symmetric matrices. And then we have that, if A is Hermitian, then the diagonal entries of A are real. This is because when I take the conjugate transpose, the diagonal entries stay where they are. If A equals a Hermitian, the diagonal entries cannot be complex valued because otherwise, or cannot have a nonzero imaginary part because otherwise the diagonal entries will not match. So basically in a Hermitian symmetric matrix, all the entries above the diagonal are complex conjugates of the reflected entries below the diagonal. And so if A is Hermitian, then we can fully characterize or we can fully specify this matrix A by using n real numbers for the n diagonals and n times n minus one over two complex numbers for all the off diagonal entries. So although A has n squared entries, it has a Hermitian symmetric matrix has n real valued numbers and n into n minus one by two complex valued numbers that completely specify the matrix. Okay, now, so basically Hermitian symmetric matrices are two complex matrices as real numbers are two complex numbers. So here is one result that kind of makes this point. So let A be a Hermitian symmetric matrix. Then, so A, X Hermitian AX is real for every X in C to the n, all eigenvalues are real and C S Hermitian AS is Hermitian for every S in C to the n cross n. Okay, these are pretty obvious facts. I mean, so for example, if you want to show A, if I take X Hermitian AX complex conjugate, that is the same as taking its conjugate transpose because this is after all a scalar X Hermitian AX Hermitian. And the Hermitian of the product of vectors and matrices works exactly the same way as taking the transpose with the extra conjugate in there. And so this can X Hermitian. So this is X Hermitian coming over on the other side. A Hermitian X, this is X Hermitian Hermitian, which is the same as X coming on the right side. And since A equals A Hermitian, this is equal to X Hermitian AX. And similarly, if AX equals lambda X, and I'll take a unit norm eigenvector, so X Hermitian X equals one, then lambda, which is equal to lambda times X Hermitian X, because X Hermitian X equals one is equal to, I'll write that as X Hermitian times lambda X, because lambda is a scalar. And lambda X is the same as AX, so that is equal to X Hermitian AX. And this, we just showed that this is real valued. And since this is real valued, lambda is real valued. So all the eigenvalues of Hermitian symmetric matrix are real valued. And finally, S Hermitian AX, if I take its Hermitian, then I get S Hermitian A Hermitian S, which is equal to S Hermitian AX. So that means that S Hermitian AX is Hermitian for every S. So I guess these are, you know, pretty obvious facts, but they turn out to be very useful facts for later that to take a Hermitian matrix and you compute X Hermitian AX, that's always real valued. So for instance, normally if I take a quantity like X Hermitian AX, that would be complex value, and I cannot order those values. So, because you can't order complex numbers. So if I had to say minimize something like X Hermitian AX, that's a tough problem if A is an arbitrary matrix. But if I said A is a Hermitian symmetric matrix, X Hermitian AX is always real valued. So that's a perfectly valid thing to try to minimize or maximize. And similarly, all the eigenvalues of A being real means that I can order the eigenvalues. I can ask which is the smallest eigenvalue, which is the largest eigenvalue and so on. And we'll see that as Hermitian AX being Hermitian symmetric also will be very useful for us later. The thing that you should think about now is whether the converse is true. So suppose X Hermitian AX, you computed X Hermitian AX and found that it's real for all X in C to the N. Does it mean that A must be a Hermitian symmetric matrix? Likewise, suppose you found all the eigenvalues of A and you found that they're all real valued. Does it mean that A is a Hermitian symmetric matrix? And so on. But we'll come to that in a few minutes. So if I consider, so I mentioned that this is a theorem that illustrates somehow that Hermitian symmetric matrices are two complex valued matrices as real numbers are two complex numbers. So how is that? It's because suppose I take N equals one. So what is this property saying? It's saying that so N equals one means A is just some Hermitian symmetric complex number. And if that is the case, it means that A must be a real valued number because it's conjugate transpose, which is its complex conjugate is equal to A itself. So it means A must be a real valued number. And if A is a real valued number, X Hermitian AX is going to be this real valued number A times mod X square. And that is real for every complex valued C, complex valued X. And if it's a one cross one matrix, whatever that A is, that is an eigenvalue of the matrix. And so it just means that A is real. And this being Hermitian is the same as saying mod S squared times A is real for every S being a complex number. Okay, so I asked about the converse of these points. Here's the result about that. So I'll actually write the Aij being its entries in this form because we'll need these entries to prove the result. Okay, then A is Hermitian, if and only if, at least one of the following code. A is normal and all eigenvalues of A are real. See, S Hermitian AS is Hermitian for every S and C to the n cross n. So that is a normal matrix. And remember that all Hermitian matrices are also normal because if a matrix satisfies A Hermitian equals A Hermitian A, then it's a normal matrix, but for a Hermitian symmetric matrix, A Hermitian equals A. So A Hermitian equals A square, which is equal to A Hermitian A. So all properties of normal matrices, for example, that eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are orthogonal, that there's a complete set of eigenvectors, that the matrix is unitally diagonalizable, all of them hold for Hermitian symmetric matrices also. And we will use these properties extensively in the coming results, in the results that we are going to discuss. Okay, so now proof. So when I say that A is normal, I'm already assuming a lot about A, but in addition to it being normal, the fact that if it's true that all the eigenvalues of A are real, then it is Hermitian symmetric. So Hermitian symmetric matrices are one special case of normal matrices. And if I assume that the eigenvalues of A are real, then this matrix A is Hermitian symmetric. Okay, so let's see how to show this result. Now, the necessity is what we showed in the previous result. So it's now enough to show sufficiency. Okay, so in other words, we, so let me actually maybe explain this. This is basic logic. So the statement of the theorem says that A is Hermitian if and only if one of these conditions hold, which means that we need to show that A is Hermitian if this condition holds. Okay, and we call that the necessary condition. And we also need to show that A is Hermitian only if this condition holds, which is that this condition is sufficient for A to B Hermitian. We've already showed that if A is Hermitian, then this is true. That is the sufficiency result because again, basic logic is that if A, this statement A, so statement A implies a statement B, then the complement of statement B implies that is not B implies not A. Okay, and so what we showed is that A being Hermitian implies X Hermitian AX is real. Okay, which means that if not B is that X Hermitian AX real for all X. Okay, this complement, which means that there is some X for which X Hermitian AX is not real, implies not A, which is, okay, so that is, so the only if part is already shown by the previous result. So we need to, it suffices to show sufficiency, namely that if this condition holds, then A is Hermitian. If this condition holds, then A is Hermitian. If this condition holds, then A is Hermitian. So basically if X Hermitian AX is real for every X in C to the n, then if I consider X plus Y Hermitian AX plus Y, now this is also real value because of this condition here.  Okay, now X Hermitian AX is real because again of this assumption again and Y Hermitian AY is also real. Okay, so now this is real and this is real. And so this must be real also because if this was a complex number, there's no way that this equality would be satisfied. Okay, so now, so we know now that this quantity like Y Hermitian AX plus X Hermitian AY is always real value regardless of which X and Y I choose. So I can choose some in some some I can cleverly choose X and Y and see what happens. So if I choose X equal to EK, the kth column of the n cross n identity matrix and Y equal to EJ, then what Y Hermitian AX will do is that AX will pick out the kth column of A and Y Hermitian times AX will pick out the jth entry of the kth column. So jth row and kth column. So that means that AJK plus similarly this will pick out AKJ. This is real. So if this is real, that means that if I consider the imaginary part of AJK, this is the negative of the imaginary part of AKJ. Okay, the imaginary parts must cancel otherwise this wouldn't be real. Next, choose X equal to I times EK and Y equal to EJ, then what we have is that if I consider Y Hermitian AX, that will give me I times AJK and X Hermitian AY, this I will become a minus I when I take the Hermitian here. So I get minus I EKJ and this is again real. Now if this is real, then it means that the real parts of these two must cancel each other and there is a negative sign. So this means that real part of AKJ equals the real part of AJK. So if you look at, if you now look at AJK and AKJ, their real parts are equal and the imaginary parts are the negative of each other. So that means that AKJ is equal to AJK complex conjugate. And this is exactly the same as saying A equals A Hermitian, okay? So that proves part A, is that what I called it? A, yeah. Now if A is normal, then it is uniterally diagonalizable. We've seen that result already. All normal matrices are uniterally diagonalizable, which means that I can write A as U lambda U Hermitian, where lambda is a diagonal matrix containing lambda 1 to lambda n along the diagonals, which are the eigenvalues of A.  So now in general, basically A Hermitian would be equal to U lambda, so this is the Hermitian of this. And then lambda Hermitian, but I can write it as lambda star because lambda is a diagonal matrix times U Hermitian. But if we say that the eigenvalues are all real valued, lambda star equals lambda. And so this is equal to U lambda U Hermitian, but that is equal to A from here itself. So A is Hermitian symmetric. So this shows B. And similarly, if it's true that S Hermitian, A S is Hermitian for all S in C to the n cross n, then if C is true, A is Hermitian by choosing what is the eigenvalue. So if I just substitute, I mean this is S Hermitian, A S is Hermitian for every S. So it suffices to say that okay, when S equals I, then I get A must be equal to A Hermitian. So that's it. So that's this proof. Okay, this, the point I made about Hermitian matrices being normal, this is an important point. So I want to actually write it here. Hermitian matrices are normal. So that means that all properties of normal matrices apply to Hermitian symmetric matrices. So for example, eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are orthogonal. And there is a complete set of eigenvectors. That is the geometric multiplicity of every eigenvalue equals its algebraic multiplicity. So Hermitian matrix can never be defective. It is uniterally diagonalizable. So all these hold for Hermitian matrices. So the one result we have seen earlier was the spectral theorem for Hermitian matrices, which was a specialization of the result for normal matrices. So the result says that A C to the n cross n is Hermitian if and only if there exists a unitary U, real diagonal lambda. So I could write this as real to the n cross n such that A equals U lambda U Hermitian. Moreover, if A is real and Hermitian, but if it's real value, it just means it's symmetric. So if it's real and symmetric, actually put it this way, A is real and symmetric if and only if there exists a real orthogonal matrix. Again, I could write it as real. So actually I will write it as real and real diagonal lambda such that A equals P lambda P transpose.


What is kind of like your routine? I'm going to sound lazy saying this because I'm on the West Coast. Market opens at 6.30 a.m. for me and I am not a morning person. I'll literally just wake up and then just straight to the office. I'll have my watchlist made the night before. I'll do all my scanning, all my possible trade kind of building per se and then I'll come into the market, pull up the screens, see if it's like that's aligned with what I thought the stock was going to do in my watchlist to begin with. Your watchlist is kind of like, okay, I'm looking at the most extended stocks on the day. Now I'm going to try and formulate a plan like maybe if this goes red tomorrow or if I can short it into like a morning spike into like some resistance, that's kind of your thought process for the watchlist? Yeah, yeah, totally.


from downtown San Francisco. It's theCUBE, covering RSA North America 2018. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at the RSA conference in San Francisco, 40,000 plus people talking about security. Gets bigger and bigger every year as soon as it's going to eclipsorical open world and Salesforce would be the biggest conference in all San Francisco. But we've got somebody who's been coming here. He said for 16 years, Ricardo, Bill Diego, the EVP and GM, security and fraud for Sikterra. Did I get that right, Sikterra? Sikterra. Sikterra Technologies, great to see you. Thank you, Jeff. It's glad to be here. So you said you've been coming here for 16 years. How's it changed? That's exactly right. You know, it's becoming bigger and bigger and bigger. And I believe this is a representation of the size of the problem out there. But are we getting better at it or is it just the attack service is getting better? Or why are there so many, why is it getting bigger and bigger? Are we going to get this thing solved or? I think it is a combination. We think we have the unique solution that's going to help significantly organizations to get better in the security landscape. I think the issue that we have is that there are just so many noise in general. And I think that noise is a representation of the disconnection that exists between the way technologies are deploying security and the way technologies are consuming IT. I think IT has evolved significantly and it's completely hybrid today. And organizations are continuing to deploy security in a way like if we were in the 90s. And that's the big disconnection that exists between the attacks and the protection. But in the 90s, we still think or you can correct me that we could actually build some big brick walls in a moat and a couple crocodiles and we could keep the bad guys out. That's not the way anymore. It is not a way. And look, they're an believer of that every protection creates a reaction on the adversary. And that's absolutely true in security and it is absolutely true in the fraud landscape. Every protection measure will push the adversary to innovate. And that innovation is what, for good and for bad, has created this big market which we can't complain about. Right, right. So for folks that aren't familiar with Cisterna, give them a quick update on what you guys are all about. So see, I think Cisterna is here to concur the cybersecurity space. I think what we did is we put together technologies from the companies that we acquired with a combination of the color center facilities that we also acquired from Centrelink to build this vision of the secure infrastructure company. And what we're launching here at the RSA conference 2018 is AppGate 4.0 which is the flagship offering around secure access. Secure access is that anchor upon which organizations can deploy a secure way to enable their workforce and their party relationships to get access to critical assets within the network in a secure way. Okay, and you said 4.0, so that implies there was a three and a two and probably a one. So what are some of the new things in 4.0? Well, it's great, just an evolution of the current platform. We launch what we call Life Entitlements which is an innovative concept upon which we can dynamically adjust the perimeter of an endpoint and the user that's behind that endpoint. I think, you know, primers today doesn't exist as they were in the 90s. Right, right. That concept of a unique perimeter that is protected by a firewall or that is implemented by a NAC technology doesn't exist anymore. Today is about agility. Today is about mobility. Today is about enabling the end user to securely access their... The application and everything they need, right. And what AppGate does is exactly that, is to identify what's the security posture of the endpoints and the user behind that endpoint and deploy a security of one that's unique to the specific conditions of an endpoint and the user behind that endpoint when they're trying to access critical assets within the network. Okay, so if I heard you right, so instead of just a traditional wall, it's a combination of identity. It's identity. The endpoint, how their access is and then the context within the application. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. So that's a very significant change probably when you started out years ago. Absolutely. And look Jeff, I think to some extent the way enterprises are deploying security is delusional. And I say that because there is a reality and it looks like we're ignoring the reality. The reality is the way organizations are consuming IT is totally different than what it was in the 90s and in the early 2000s. And the way organizations are deploying security today doesn't match with the way they're consuming IT today. That's why AppGay SDP can bridge that gap and enable organizations to deploy security strategies that match with the reality of the IT infrastructure today. If they don't get it, they better get it quick because or else not, you know, we see them in the Wall Street Journal tomorrow morning and that's not a happy place to be. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. We're trying to help them to stay away of that. Right, all right. We'll have to leave it there. We're crammed for time, but thanks for taking a few minutes out of your day. All right, yes. Thank you very much. I'd love to be here. He's Ricardo, I'm Jeff. You're watching theCUBE from RSAC 2018 in San Francisco.


Hello, my name is Benjamin Schmouse and I'm a Field Product Manager with Red Hat. Today, I want to talk about the Super User Full Access feature coming in Quay 3.8. In Quay 3.8, we are introducing the Super User Full Access feature. This configuration field grants Super Users the ability to read, write, and delete content from other repositories and namespaces that they do not own or have explicit permissions for. A couple of items to note about this feature in 3.8. This feature is only available in the beta UI. When enabled, it shows the organizations that the Super User has access to. To enable the beta UI, see the feature flag Feature UI Version 2 in the documentation. When the field is enabled, the Super User cannot view the image repository of every organization at once. This is actually a known limitation and will be fixed in future versions of Red Hat Quay. As a temporary workaround, the Super User can view image repositories by navigating to them from the organization page. So how do we enable this feature and how can we explore it? Let me go ahead and demonstrate that for you now. The next thing that we have to do is in our config yaml, we have to add a couple of component or flags. First is the Super Users field. That is a field that's been around before 3.8, and that's normally where you define your Super Users. In my example on the screen, we have Super Users defined as Quay Admin. The next thing that we have to do is introduce a feature flag called Feature Super Users Full Access. And go ahead and set that to True. As I mentioned before, in order to actually see the organizations, we're going to have to use the new UI. So in our config yaml, we'll also have to configure Feature UI Version 2 and set that to True as well. Once we've done that, we can go ahead and either deploy our Quay deployment, or go ahead and save the config file and redeploy our existing deployment. Now let's go ahead and log into Quay as a regular user. I'm going to go ahead and turn the new UI on by selecting the new UI button here. What I'm really going to focus on in this example is the OpenShift organization, because the OpenShift organization is owned specifically by the user OpenShift, which is what I'm logged in as right now. You can see I don't have any repos in there yet, so let's go ahead and put some repository information in there. So the first thing that I'm going to need to do is I'm going to need to log into my Quay registry from the command line. Once I'm logged in, let's go ahead and pull an image down that we can use, in this case Busybox. And I've gone ahead and pulled that image down to my workstation where I'm actually running these commands. And now I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to set the tag for Busybox so that I can push it up to my Quay registry. With the tag set, I'll go ahead and then push it up to my Quay registry. And once it's pushed up to my Quay registry, I'm going to go ahead and log out from the command line here. Now let's go back to the UI, and if we go ahead and just refresh this page, we can now see under OpenShift there is one repo. If we click into there, we can see it as our Busybox repo. And if we click into that, we can see it as the one that was tagged with test. So at this point, this repository is, again, specifically owned by OpenShift. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to sign out. Actually, though, I'm going to go ahead and switch the UI back to legacy first. And then I'm going to go ahead and sign out. And now I'm going to go ahead and log in as QuayAdmin. And then I'm going to go ahead and turn the new UI back on. And as you can see, the QuayAdmin can see the OpenShift repository of OpenShift. And he can go in there and he can see the Busybox repository. And he can go in and see that there is one image tagged for test. What I want to do though is I want to go back to the command line. And I want to go ahead and log in this time as the QuayAdmin from the command line. And once I'm logged in, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to show you that I can pull that image from the OpenShift repository. And it comes down just fine. And now I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to tag it as a new image. So instead of test, I'm going to tag it as test1. And then I'm going to go ahead and push that back up there to the OpenShift repository. The one that I don't necessarily or wouldn't normally have rights to, but because, again, I've set the feature flag of QuaySuperUser having full access, I have access to everything. And so we'll go ahead and we'll push that image up. And notice it went up just fine. Let's go back to the OpenShift organization. And again, we can see that there's a Busybox repository. And now we've actually got two different tagged images in there. Test and test1, both of them having been pulled and pushed by my QuayAdmin user. And now if I wanted to, I can go ahead and I can actually delete these. And I'm just going to delete them one by one. So first we'll do the test1. We'll click delete and remove that. And then next we'll click the test1 and do that. Click delete. And now they're both gone. We'll go back to the OpenShift organization. And now I'm going to go ahead and delete the Busybox repository. And I'm going to delete that as well. Type in confirm to confirm that delete. And now there are no repositories underneath that organization. If we drop back to the command line again, of course I will go ahead and I'll push this test1 right back up there. But in this case it can't do it because the repository or the organization is no longer known. Because I've gone ahead and removed the repository. So hopefully this gives you an example of how the SuperUser full access feature flag works. Again, it's designed to ensure that the SuperUser has the ability to see into all the repositories within the Quay environment. Whereas in previous releases in order for the SuperUser to actually delete other content that it didn't have access to, it had to take ownership of that and then go ahead and delete that content. I hope you enjoyed this demo. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.


family or for his life or for his future at the end of it all. So what does it mean that most of the times now according to the Rebalo according to the Rebalo in Katahidi, no employer is allowed to renew a contract without your permission or to renew your residence visa without your approval without your permission. Remember the residence visa or what you call the Katahidi or residence visa is renewed every year. It's renewed every year so meaning that every time it gets to expire your employer will need to give you what you call a request. It will give you a request form for you to feel that you want your ID to be renewed at one or the other and if you accept definitely is going to renew that at one moment of time but still something that you need to know the situations whereby your employer can renew your residence or your contract without your concept depending on what kind of agreement was there in the first contract that you signed as you joining the country you joining the company for example if you sign what you call a limited contract or if you sign what you call unnamed contract it will definitely depends on those two scenarios on those two situations that you have at the time but most of the times for the companies I've seen is that wherever they need to renew or they need to renew or Katahidi definitely they will give you what you call a request form for you to feel to accept to acknowledge that you've accepted to renew your Katahidi. One of someone would ask me the question what is exactly the reason why this employer has to give you that that paper or that request paper for you or that form for you to feel to acknowledge what you call the approval to acknowledge that you've accepted to renew your Katahidi. One of the things is that most of the time this Katahidi will take money or the given amount of money taken for renewals so meaning that if you accept to renew that Katahidi with your employer and you don't tentatively tend to finish up the Katahidi as required that employer has right to deduct to deduct the amount of month left the amount of money that you deduct will be equivalent to the amount of the amount of months that are left to that ID. Let's say for example your ID is expiring in October or is expiring your ID is expiring in April and you get to you get to terminate it or you get to resign within this period then that means he has to deduct the amount of money from your gratitude or from your bonuses that amount to the remaining month of the ID. That is actually the reason and it's also one reason that shows it safeguards them and keeps them within itself in case you get to have a problem or disagreement in one way or the other and you don't have to agree. So meaning that your employer can either accept or can either renew your contract without even your approval and you've seen many people that have they've been done that and you find yourself without even accepting you find yourself as one ID expires you find yourself you have another ID with you meaning that this substitution renewal of the contract indirectly without even the concept or without you having that concept in mind. So meaning it is either safeguarding you it's also safeguarding the employer but it would depend on situation A or situation B. For example I gave you an example of the situation where we had COVID and people were actually saying that even if they don't ask me to renew the contract they should just renew it automatically at that level in one way or the other. Still something that we need to note look at this period where everyone is at a site that he needs to take or he needs to make sure he keeps his position he keeps his job. Definitely imagine the situation if your employer came at this time and is telling you can I renew your contract or not renew the contract. Tell me what you would say definitely. I know 90% will say please sir go ahead renew the contract. So we are looking at those contrast situations that may cause such kind of situation and may lead to that employer renewal contract without up performance.

Look, nobody likes losing their job, especially through no fault of their own. It's one thing to be fired for things you did or didn't do, or to be let go because you're underperforming expectations. It's entirely another thing to be let go because the company as a whole is doing slightly worse than they had expected. A common headline over the past week has been in reference to Activision Blizzard, who, in wake of their latest financial report for 2018, have decided to undergo a company-wide restructuring that includes cutting between 8 and 9% of their total workforce, which equates to around 700-plus jobs being lost. A common trend, however, hasn't been that Activision is underperforming and this is a natural reaction to that, but instead been one about this move being about lining investors' pockets. A strange sentiment for a publicly traded company whose entire existence in this world is too well lined investors' pockets. What I mean to say is that's exactly why this company exists. Moves to further those profit margins shouldn't be that surprising. The biggest sticking point is that Activision in 2018 reported a record high in gross revenue. Cutting 700-plus jobs in the wake of having more money coming into your company than ever before seems really counterintuitive. It feels scummy. It feels greedy. It feels even more like this when you consider that Activision themselves already has a reputation for squeezing money from consumers. And the Blizzard side of the company too has seemed a bit out of touch with a mobile Diablo game announced as a major title and an event fans of Blizzard paid money to attend. A complete disconnect with the given audience. Activision reported an income of $7.5 billion, an all-time high for the company. Feels awfully strange to cut jobs now, doesn't it? That's a growing business that should be looking to hire more people, not let people go. A caveat is often missed, however. Just because they had all that money coming in doesn't mean they actually saw fiscal growth overall.  However, when you dig deeper into the numbers, you notice that Activision Blizzard only had a net profit of $1.8 billion. Yes, that's a hefty sum, but it's significantly less than the reported total revenue. However, that's not the problem. The real culprit, that $1.8 billion in profit is down significantly from 2017, where their total revenue was much lower but their profit margins were higher at $2.21 billion in net profits. AKA, Activision successfully grew their sales but made less money on the back end. This folks is where the job cuts happened. That represents a near 20% decline in operating profits. Thus, it shouldn't be shocking Activision Blizzard cut 8% or so of its workforce. The shocking thing should be that they didn't cut even more of it. I know many have pointed to the CEO of Activision's million dollar salary with $26 million per year in stock bonuses and other executives getting similar benefits and compared this situation to that of Nintendo during the down years of Wii U. Back then, Nintendo was sinking in revenue and actually lost money for the first time ever as a video game maker and instead of cutting jobs, Satura Owada, then president of Nintendo before his untimely death, cut his own salary massively, taking responsibility unto himself and not wanting to cut jobs, which is naturally what occurs when there is less money to go around. However, Nintendo is heavily grained in Japanese culture, where honor is highly praised and while I do think the rest of the industry could use a dose of that honor, reality is that's not how companies operate, typically. You're making 20% less in profits this year compared to last year, typically you're going to cut your workforce. It's a quick and easy way to stop the bleeding. This lets you know that many of the games and projects Activision Blizzard worked on were simply not making the sort of revenue that Activision Blizzard anticipated. This is why the job cuts are all across the board. Blizzard feels like the biggest hit since this is the first time Activision Blizzard has actually significantly touched that side of their company, but profit margins on Blizzard games did take a big dip in 2018 if you actually dig through the revenue report. Job cuts there simply make sense. King as well, the makers of Mobile Hit Candy Crush saw job losses too as many of their newer ventures haven't really panned out. Blizzard restructured the company to beef up the teams of their more profitable IPs, increasing staff of those properties by a total of 20%. But with so many other IPs and projects basically canned, ultimately it meant a lot of people losing jobs. It's even confusing a bit, as they claimed to be adding staff to games like World of Warcraft, meanwhile some World of Warcraft staff were actually let go. It's hard to understand how that happens given what Activision is publicly stating. What this all culminates to, however, should be a bit more understandable. 20% profit loss, 8% job cuts. In my head, I can't find a way of looking at those numbers and thinking this shouldn't have been expected. We shouldn't be shocked. We can be angry of course. 1.8 billion in gross profits is still a ton of money and an argument can be made that you could have kept all 800 of those jobs and just found a better way to cut costs in other ways and still have more games come out to make up the difference. I think in Gamer's Minds, this is where we all uniformly tend to put our feet in the ground. Activision, Blizzard factually has a ton of really successful IP under their belt that many of us have endeared ourselves to for decades. We never want to see massive job loss in this industry at companies making games we love. We feel bad for those that lost their jobs and at the same time panic over what the future of our favorite games is going to become. Will they be more rushed and bug riddled? Will they become more reliant on loot boxes and microtransactions? Will everything be destroyed for the sake of profits? I think these are all fair questions and really extremely valid concerns. I stand with each and every one of you on that front and I share in those worries. But today, I can't get angry over the job losses even as I feel bad for those affected by them. Job loss in layoffs is a reality in the Western market, specifically in the United States. I too have been swept up in massive layoffs at big companies in my past due to overall net profit loss. This is a cause and effect sort of situation. There is less profits, so job cuts occur to get the profit margins back to the levels you are accustomed to. I feel for those affected and can sympathize with the situation, but I can't really be that angry. To be angry is to ignore how this industry, nay, how the business world, works. Some have used this as an opportunity to talk about unionizing and surely this is something that may lead to better pay, better benefits and make it harder to be laid off in cases like this. That is completely true. It may also lead to there being less jobs available, to compensate for having to offer better benefits and better pay, along with having a harder time of letting people go. The market always adjusts regardless of what the situation might be. So is that a positive thing then too? Is the trade off worth it? I can't answer that question. What I can say is this should have been expected. This shouldn't have been shocking.  This is the way the world works. But I have complete faith almost all of those 800 people are going to land on their feet. Many have already gotten new jobs already. If their Twitter accounts are to be believed. The real question I have is, are we as gamers maybe a bit too invested in how this industry works? Or are we not invested enough? Should we be angry on behalf of the employees that don't seem to be as angry as we are? Or should we not let something like this bother us because there are bigger fish to fry? I honestly don't know. And I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on it. I am Nathaniel Ruffal-Jance from Nintendo Prime.

Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industries up 25, you get the Nasdaq up 55, S&Ps are up by 12 and a half, Gold contract, Gold contract down $4.50 trading at $14.10 an ounce, we have Silver down 8 cents, $15.20 an ounce, Light Sweet Crude flat, $59.23 a barrel, notes and bonds, you get the 10-year note, up 10 ticks, $127.29, 30-year up $23 at $155.22. Now both notes and bonds folks, they rejected lower price out here today, they're going to have lighter volume, bottom line, higher price, lower yield coming at us once again. King dollar, King dollar up 22 ticks, trading $95.50, what we have with King dollar out here, King dollar, bottom line having a hard time holding price, has anemic volume, looks like it's building the C point of an ABC structure on the way down, that'll get you into the 94 area. We got to take a look at the Euro, the Euro right now is trading at a price point of $113 to one US dollar, the yen is at $107.76 and the pound is at $126. We get over and take a look at the S&P, what you have happening is this, you're going higher, bottom line, you do have light volume on the higher level, what I expect you're still going to see here, you're still in the small ABC structure in the way up, you're at $291 on the spy, that price projection out there is $303, I do expect we're going to get it. Gold contract, what we have with gold, these are setting up really nice folks, gold contract out here rejected lower price, you're going to have tremendously lighter volume, bottom line, gold also looks like it's setting up an ABC structure in the way up, you got anemic volume out here today, nice setup inside of that market, we go over and take a look at silver, what we have with silver out here, same type of setup, silver has been lagging gold, no doubt about that but both silver and gold rejected lower price out here where the wild card is going to be as this, expecting the S&P to finish this ABC structure in the way up, bottom line, it looks like it's just about going to finish it, you'll finish it with light volume because the way that notes and bonds, dollar and the metals are trading, notes want higher price, dollar wants lower price, metals want higher price, S&P wants lower price, bottom line, I expect you're coming into window dressing, 4th of July and 4th of July is going to start off a few fireworks when we come back to work that following Monday, stay right there folks, next 60 minute trading coming up to repcap out here, Dow industrial is up 26, Nasdaq up 55, S&P is up 11 and a half, come right back.


So you just want to slice, not a problem. Slice mesh allows you to left click and slice from one face to another. Every time you click, it's going to connect the new face to the last face. If you need a specific angle, you can hold down drag, and if you ever need to reset your starting point, just press the spacebar. As you can tell, it normally defaults to crease in the slice, but if you don't want to crease, just set it to uncreased here. Hope that helps, and as always, hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll see you around.


So let's talk about row and column spaces, and this emerges as follows. Because I can view a matrix as a collection of vectors, then every matrix defines two vector spaces. First of all, there is a column space, written column A, where I view the columns of the matrix as vectors in a vector space. Now, you should convince yourself that you do actually get a vector space here because our vectors will have to satisfy all those requirements. The other possibility is I might take the row space, written row of A, where I view the diagonal. Wait a minute, no, that would make sense. That doesn't make sense. How about the rows of the matrix as vectors in our vector space? So our column space, we're viewing the columns as vectors. In the row space, we're viewing the rows as vectors. And we'll designate the collection of these vectors using, with a fit of creativity, this script V. And so this is the collection of vectors, either the columns of the matrix or the rows of the matrix. And vector spaces are closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. And so we're going to define the span of the, the span of the set of vectors to be the set of all linear combinations of the vectors in our collection. So for example, let's take a look at what the column space of this matrix is going to be. So I have a matrix and I have a bunch of columns here. I want to find the column space. I'm going to treat each column as a vector. And I'm going to look at the set of all possible linear combinations of those columns. So linear combinations, I'm going to take each vector and multiply it by some scalar, and I'll add those together. And there's my column space. So here, my set of all possible linear combinations of those four columns. Now we can also introduce something called a subspace. And that is a vector space that is included inside of another vector space. So if I imagine the columns or rows of a matrix forming a vector space, then some of those columns or rows might form a subspace. So for example, let's take our matrix M again. And I can talk about the row space. I'm going to talk about the vector space formed by taking linear combinations of the rows of M. But maybe I could talk about the subspace where I'm only going to use the second row. And so this is going to consist of all linear combinations of just the second row only, which means I can really only look at scalar multiples of that. So note that since we're looking at the row space, I'll go ahead and treat my vectors as being horizontally oriented. So this is linear combination scalar multiples of the vector negative 1, negative 2, 1, and 0. As a general rule, if I'm going to write the vectors horizontally, it's better to separate the entries with a comma. So I might write my subspace this way.


Dear students, in this topic, we shall take an overview of the elementary systems found in animals. The elementary systems are involved in procuring food and converting it into a usable form by the cells of the animal body. Both these processes of procuring and digesting or converting it are known as nutrition. The major steps of animal nutrition include digestion, digestion of the ingested food products. Then absorption of digested food products are products of digestion. Number three, the digestion are removal of indigestible parts of the food and undigested waste products. There are two major types of elementary systems which are observed in all animal kingdom. The first elementary system is a simple sack like gastro vascular cavity, while the second type of elementary system which is found in most of the animals is a tubular elementary canal also known as the gut. Dear students, the simple sack like gastro vascular cavity is the characteristic feature of Nideria. It has a single opening which is called mouth. This mouth serves for the ingestion or intake of food as well as it serves for the ingestion or removal of indigestible wastes. The tubular elementary canal is found in complex bilateral animals. This tube is a hollow tubular cavity which is open at both ends. The first opening is called mouth which is for ingestion or intake of food, while the second opening is called anus which is for ingestion. Dear students, the elementary canal or complete digestive tract has certain advantages for the animals. It increases the efficiency of digestive and absorptive processes. It also allows unidirectional flow of food contents through the digestive tract. This type of elementary canal or elementary system also allows regional specialization for different types of digestive actions. Dear students, in the regional specialization elementary canal this helps in various functions related to digestion that is mechanical, chemical and bacterial treatment of food in special regions of the elementary canal. The second major function is absorption of products of digestion and the storage of undigested waste materials is carried out or takes place in special regions of the elementary canal. This is known as regional specialization.


Welcome to how to add a blog or news page to any WordPress website. Did you know that adding a blog or news page to your WordPress website comes with many advantages? It strengthens your brand, draws visitors to your website, and is great for search engine optimization if you consistently write new posts. Whether you are using a block theme or a classic theme, you can add a blog or news page to your website with the same technique. Let's learn. While there are multiple ways to accomplish this task, let's learn the most basic one by creating a post page and adding a query loop block to it. The most straightforward way to create a blog or news page that works in both classic and block themes is to first head to your WordPress dashboard. Then select pages and add new. Title this page something like blog or use a title like news if you only want to write shorter updates. From here, you will use your Inserter to search for a query loop block. The query loop block is used to display blog posts or other post types. When you select this block, two options will appear. Choose and start blank. While you can choose to start blank, it may be easier to choose a pattern which you can modify from there. A note. If you don't have any blog posts written to start, it may be hard to see what your options are. Consider using a plugin to generate demo content that you can easily remove later or by adding a few temporary blog posts to your website under the posts section. This will allow you to see what your blog post page will look like. For example, here I am using the FakerPress plugin to generate fake blog posts which will allow me to better pick and adapt the pattern I'd like in this query loop block. I decide to add 10 new posts from the last 15 days and select a few more settings.  Now I can see all the temporary demo data in my posts section. Then I head back to my news page and add a query loop. Click the edit button and then I add a query loop. Let's see how this is different. Now if I choose a pattern, I will be able to see the demo data and some placeholders which makes it a lot easier to visualize what I'm doing with this query loop. When you select choose, you have many options to choose from. So select whichever pattern resonates with you the most. From here you can add or adjust a variety of theme blocks such as how your posts featured images will appear, whether or not to include a date, title, author, or excerpt, and more. There's a lot you can do with the query loop block. To learn more advanced features about it, please see the tutorial Taking Advantage of Query Loops. Once your blog posts look the way that you'd like, it's almost ready. However, before you save this page, there is one more setting you need to select. Using your list view, select the query loop, then access your settings on the right. Disable the setting, inherit query from template, and then save. This will allow your query loop to function entirely independently on both classic and block themes. Now, my theme automatically added this news page to my menu, though you may need to add it to your own menu depending on your theme settings. Now, any future post I write will appear on this post page. Watch as I publish this new post. Here it is published on my website. There it is on my news page. Don't forget to remove the dummy data, which I will do using FakerPress by going to the FakerPress dashboard and writing, let it go. Now, if I head to my post list, you'll see it's just the post that I wrote, none of the fake data. Fake data was also removed from my news page. There's a lot to know about blogging.
