If you're in our Zoom or if you're on YouTube or Facebook, it would be great if people could introduce themselves in the chat like people have started to do. If you want to give us your names and where you're calling in from, that would be great. Can people hear me? Yeah? Okay, I saw in the chat that some people can't hear me, so just making sure. Hi everyone, welcome. Again, we'll get started in just a minute, but if you want to introduce yourselves in the chat box, that would be great. I see some people introducing themselves. Quite a few people from all over the country so far. Welcome. Welcome everyone to the webinar, Understanding the True Cost of Nuclear Weapons. We'll get started in just a short minute here. People are already introducing themselves in the chat box. Great to see so many people here from so many different places. And if you're also watching on YouTube or Facebook, you can also introduce yourselves in the comments. Love to see how many people are watching from around the world. Welcome again, everyone, to our webinar, Understanding the True Cost of Nuclear Weapons. We'll get started in about a minute here. Really excited to see so many people from around the world on the call. If you haven't already, please go ahead and introduce yourselves in the chat box or if you're watching on YouTube or Facebook in the comment section. You can give us your name and where you're zooming in from. All right, I think it's time for us to go ahead and get started. So again, welcome everyone to the Code Pink webinar, Understanding the True Cost of Nuclear Weapons. My name is Carly Town. I'm a co-director of Code Pink and I also work on our Divest from the War Machine campaign. I also want to say that this webinar has been cosponsored by many wonderful organizations, including NuclearWakeUpCall.Earth, The Peace for Okinawa Coalition, No Cold War, Pivot to Peace, and United for Peace and Justice. The important intersections of organizations who have endorsed this webinar and the wide-ranging experiences from the panelists who will be joining us today, who I'll introduce very shortly, is a testament to how cross-cutting an issue like the development and maintenance of nuclear weapons truly is. January 22nd, 2021 marked the day that the ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons came into force after Honduras became the 50th member state to ratify. However, according to the Congressional Budget Office, if the United States carries out all of its plans for modernizing and maintaining the nuclear arsenal, it will cost about $494 billion over the next decade. So $494 billion is a staggering number, but it doesn't truly capture the entire cost of nuclear weapons. Pouring billions into modernizing and maintaining the United States nuclear arsenal, of course, has great implications for the international community. By doing so, the United States continues down a path of military hegemony, effectively for closing the possibility of diplomatic solutions in favor of asserting unilateral power. But this is particularly troubling given important efforts being undertaken right now to pressure the Biden administration to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. And importantly, the tactics by Warhawks and mainstream media to continue to drive a narrative that we should view China as our enemy. We also see that this narrative that China is dangerous is being used as cover to steadily increase the Pentagon budget and justify pouring more money into our nuclear arsenal. In reality, the only way we're going to adjust climate change, strive towards true internationalism and prevent another cold war with China is by dismantling nuclear weapons entirely. So these global implications are incredibly important, but today I'm really honored to have three women who will also speak to the true impact that nuclear weapons have on local communities who are forced to bear the brunt of the effects of living in close proximity to these weapons in their own communities and backyards. And importantly, to hear the multiple ways that they're already doing really important work to resist the development and maintenance of nuclear weapons, and how we today on the webinar can support that work. So with that, I would like to welcome all three of our speakers. We have Trisha Pratikin, Biata Socipenya, and Joni Arans. So today we'll have a chance to hear from all three panelists who I'll introduce in more detail before their presentations get started. So we'll hear from all three of them. Then we'll have some time at the end, right at the top of the hour to take some questions for any of the panelists from the audience. So while they're speaking, if you have any questions for any of our panelists, or just questions in general that you'd like to be addressed, you can go ahead and type your questions in the chat box and we'll be monitoring them during their presentations. Or you can use the Q&A function and we'll get to as many as we can at the end of all three presentations. So without further ado, I'm really excited to introduce our first speaker today, Trisha Pratikin. So Trisha is an attorney and former occupational therapist. She was a personal injury plaintiff in the now concluded Hanford Downwinder Mass Toxic Torque Consolidated Litigation, known as the Hanford Nuclear Reservation Litigation. She's the author of the Hanford Plaintiffs, Voices from the Fight for Atomic Justice, published in 2020 by the University Press of Kansas. The Hanford Plaintiffs was the winner for history in the 2020 San Francisco Book Festival and for nonfiction in the 2020 New England Book Festival. So I'm really honored to have you here today, Trisha. Welcome. Thank you so much, Carly. I'm starting my timer here. Keep on the schedule. Hi, everyone, and thank you very much for including the Voices of the Downwinders in this important webinar. I wanted to tell people a little bit about Hanford when we start because not everyone knows where that is or what it did. Hanford was a very silent site as compared to sites like the Nevada Test Site where there were huge mushroom clouds or the Trinity Test Site with one huge mushroom cloud or tests in the Pacific. So it was the place where the plutonium was produced for the Manhattan Project and the Cold War. It was the major plutonium production site for the Manhattan Project and the Cold War. And it produced the plutonium for the Trinity Test, which is the world's first test of an atomic bomb, and it also for Fat Man. And Hanford's plutonium was also used in many of the tests conducted in the Pacific Proving Browns and the Nevada Test Site. So unfortunately, its product was spread far and wide. But from the start of Hanford in late 1944, the site began to release secret emissions into the air and waters of a whole range of radionuclides. We got more than 750,000 curies of radioiodine, and we got a vast range of other radionuclides, including ruthenium particles and solid waste dumped in the Columbia River, which traveled all the way down to the Pacific Ocean. And they're still trying to clean it up.  It's a mess. So I was born right next to Hanford in Richland because both my parents were workers there at Hanford. And at first, when I was young, I really loved living there because they created what Kate Brown calls a plutopia. If you've read that book, it's an excellent book comparing the two sites, the two plutonium production sites in the former Soviet Union and Richland or Hanford. And I loved it. And we had wonderful schools. They created a lot of social activities for the adults, so they were happy in the middle of the desert. We had nine production reactors out there. They were spaced out by a mile, mile and a half in between each reactor in case one of them blew up, which was a great concern of many of the people who helped to sort of design Hanford. So if any of the reactors had blown, we were the sacrificial population out there in the middle of the desert. It's kind of hard to think about that in retrospect. That could have happened. It didn't luckily, but my father was a nuclear engineer, so he oversaw the reactors in the 100 area. A lot of people don't quite understand where the radiation came from in a place like Hanford. It was from separations primarily. It's a chemical separations process that happens after the fuel rods were bombarded in the production reactors. They're shoved out the back of the reactors into a cooling pool where they're supposed to be cooled for an x period of time. Then they're taken by train to the chemical separations areas, and that's where most of the stuff went up the stacks and out. And they realized after it started happening that iodine is heavier than air. So it started sinking down onto the ground and creating hot spots, particularly with one experiment called the Green Run in 1949 that a lot of people know about two days in 1949. The Air Force and Hanford operators co-ran an experiment to track, to see whether they could track airborne radiation because the Soviet Union had just started testing in August of 1949. And they wanted to see if they could figure out how much plutonium was being produced there. But that wasn't the largest of the releases from Hanford. And I see no difference between, I mean, ethically, there's a difference between an intentional release like the Green Run and the negligent releases that happen all the time. But my body didn't know any difference.  So just to give you a picture of what happened to so many of us. As a child, because I was conceived in Richland, radioiodine crosses the placental barrier at about starting the fifth month of gestation. So I was getting radioiodine from that, which my mother was ingesting from dairy products and the air. Then when I was born and growing up, I got radioiodine and baby milk because my mother, most of the mothers didn't nurse their babies back then. And I also got it from the air. Plus I got everything else that was in the air and on the produce and in the water. And I also swam a lot in the Columbia River, which was full of radio nuclides. Okay, so nothing happens for a while after low dose. These are called low dose ionizing radiation exposures, as opposed to the high dose burst from a detonation of an atomic bomb. Nothing usually happens for a while after these exposures. There's something called a latency period and it can last for decades. Sometimes a little less, but in my case, I didn't start getting sick until I was around 18. At the time we lived in Spain, because my dad had been transferred to Europe, where they were building reactors, because in the US, there was less call for reactors, which is a great thing. But what they did was just ship all their nuclear engineers over to Europe. So I was there and I started to get the very first symptoms of autoimmune thyroiditis, which is something a lot of us have. I began to go between or vacillate between being hyperthyroid, which means too much thyroid hormone and hypothyroid. And I got sicker and sicker and nobody really knew what was wrong because the Department of Energy never told anyone about these releases. Didn't tell us until 1986 after Freedom of Information Act requests and articles by Karen Dorn Steele in the spokesman review. She wrote the foreword for the book, which is really nice. I was honored to have her do that. So as I became sicker and sicker, I was sent back to the United States for treatment, but no one knew what to do. I was losing weight and then gaining it for no good reason, which is all really typical of autoimmune thyroiditis, but no one knew that's what I had. And so I was sick for a long time, like a lot of us, and I just became less and less functional. But finally, in 1988, I was visiting my grandmother in Spokane and I read an article by Karen Dorn Steele talking about the radio iodine releases. And finally it was explained what had happened to me and I was able to get treatment. But a bit later in 2009, a nodule developed on my thyroid, which contained hurdle cells.  And my dad had just died of aggressive thyroid cancer himself, so that I was considered very high risk. They took out my thyroid. I lost all my parathyrites because of the autoimmune mass in my neck. So now I have hypoperidism, which causes calcium, serum calcium levels to crash and also can cause kidney failure if I'm not monitored carefully. I'm also fatigued all the time. That's typical of a lot of the Downwinders. And in the book that we just published, the Hanford plaintiffs, the stories of 24 Hanford plaintiffs, all of them have more than one disease. It's a cluster. It's not one disease. It's autoimmune plus cancer or two cancers plus autoimmune and fertility issues. At least they're also mentioned by Kate Brown in her book.  My mom died of malignant melanoma, which both thyroid cancer and malignant melanoma have been associated with radiation under the Nuclear Workers Compensation Act, EEOICPA. I mentioned that because I think that will be a very useful pattern for us for a national compensation program. If we can just say that the same radiogenic diseases that are recognized for nuclear workers can be compensated in Downwinders who were known to have lived in areas where releases were known to have happened. If they have any of those diseases that are recognized under the Nuclear Worker Compensation Act, then I think that's a much better route to take than fighting amongst groups over RICA, this is Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which is going to expire soon. There's always congressional representatives trying to get their constituents added and it's a mess and people start fighting with each other. I really think we need a national program. Okay, now my only sibling died as part of a spike of mysterious neonatal deaths within Hanford's Downwind region. Okay, I would like to do something a little different for my last few minutes here if you don't mind. I told you a little bit about the Ruthinian flakes, which rained down during the summer under the kids and the people in rich and I've found that writing has helped me a lot sort of in a healing fashion and that's one reason I wrote the book to try to let people understand what we've gone through, but I've also turned to poetry a little bit. So I have a fairly short poem about the Ruthinian Flakes and this poem is based on a document, a Hanford engineering works document that's about these Ruthinian flakes that fell all over Richland. It's called Children of the Summer Snow. Hold on, there we go. Can you hear me okay? So softly snow falls on the children of Hanford, so softly snow falls on this hot summer day. It's snowing they cry as they dance with abandon. It's snowing they sing at the flakes drifting down. It's snowing they sob as the flakes start to burn them. These snowflakes of summer are radioactive. These snowflakes of summer that fall on the town. Ruthinian flakes that is later acknowledged. Ruthinian flakes that have come on the winds.  No warning is given to safeguard the children. No warning to hide from the poisonous snow. No warning is issued by those in control. They say don't advise them. They say give no warning. If warned then the workers would leave with their families and then and then that would slow down the great work we do. So that kind of concludes my comments. It's really hard being a downmender as everyone will tell you. But thank you very much for including our voice in this seminar. Thank you so much Trisha for that. That was really powerful. I've added the link to your YouTube channel so people can also follow you in the chat box and we'll also make sure it's in the YouTube link as well. So next I would like to welcome our second speaker, Beata Sosipenya, who's from Santa Clara Pueblo and has a background as an educator development specialist, developmental specialist, Jula, and an indigenous sustainable design. The realities of living next to a nuclear weapons complex has called her into environmental health and justice work with the non-profit organization Tewa Women United for over a decade. As part of her work with Tewa Women United she's currently managing the creation of the Espanola Healing Food Oasis demonstration garden project and seed library. So I'd like to welcome Beata. And I'll start sharing your slides. Okay, sure. Good to be here. Thank you for sharing your story, Trisha. That was really powerful. So I'm here in Northern New Mexico and we do live with nuclear weapons prediction in our ancestral homelands and the Pajarito Plateau, which is part of the larger Heman's Plateau, which is also located on adjacent to the vice caldera, which is a dormant supervolcano area. So some context of where we are Los Alamos National Laboratory has been occupying our ancestral sites in Los Alamos since the production of the encroachment of the nuclear agent in Northern New Mexico. So this slide is next to our river called Posonga or the Rio Grande. And it's really to draw attention to the intersections of the environmental and reproductive health impacts living next to a facility, as Trisha mentioned already. So these are some of the only contaminants that can cross placental boundaries. And we are looking at cumulative and multiple exposures over long periods of time, because we are indigenous and land based communities living next to this facility. There is hundreds of contaminated sites that we're concerned about, not only that, but just access to our sacred sites. And then wondering what the impact is health wise, you know, it's always our word against the powers that be. So with this slide, whom be I can deal with your respect, we must protect those most vulnerable. Navatoygia is land worker mother, and if we protect her from toxicity and ecocide, we protect us all. We all come here through water as our first environment. In one pregnancy, three generations are held as one. Our intergenerational health is dependent on the health of our homelands. Next slide. Let's see if the next slide comes. So this is a picture of Area G, the nuclear waste dump located on top of our watershed. And it contains over 30,000 barrels of mixed radioactive waste above ground and below ground. And the below ground barrels and waste are in unlined dirt pits. This was also on top of one of our ancestral sites. And what I mean by ancestral site is a place that is still very much alive in our way of knowing and cosmology as Tewa peoples. We don't like to use the word ruins or, you know, talk about these places like they're in the past, they're very much living. And so this is one of those places and hundreds of those kind of sites are all around this land. Let's see. So a culture of violence has desecrated our sacred sites with nuclear waste. This petroglyph etched in stone is now behind armed guards and razor wire. Nuclear weapons produce waste that kills next door to the spiritual, cultural, and physical life ways of the first peoples of this place. We have only one shared body of water that we must respect and love. And so again, this site is because it's in a volcanic plateau, the rocks are very porous, made with tuft. And we have a soul source aquifer in New Mexico, which means that more than half of the population in New Mexico depends on it for drinking and agriculture. And we just have to maintain that access to our clean water. Next slide. The Pacific Ocean poisoned by nuclear gas trophy, there's the same to our waters from local laboratories and industries. Next to our Rio Grande River, PCBs and chemicals continue to migrate. A mile long hexavalent chromium plume is contaminating Pueblo lands. There are 21,000 oil and gas wells in Rio Reba County alone in sacred sites like Chaco or Fracking zones. So it's compounded, the nuclear colonialism we face is compounded with a lot of extraction industries in our area. And so we really are dealing with being labeled as a sacrifice zone in the Southwest for not just nuclear colonialism, but also other toxic industries. And the hexavalent chromium is already in our aquifer and groundwater. Next slide. This is a picture of the Healing Foods Oasis Garden. It's based off of indigenous technology of dry land farming. You can see examples of these kind of gardens all throughout all of our mountain ranges in New Mexico or these ancient gardens exist. And so just to show how we still are very much land-based, we still are very much a living part of our ecologies and using these same systems to feed ourselves to this day. So we must put back what has been taken reclaiming reciprocal relationships to plants, stone, air, soil and animals. Look to indigenous technologies of dry land desert resistance and resiliency. Clean environments and heirloom seeds ensure our existence. Values respecting water, renewable energies wasting nothing and only taking what we need. Next slide. And that's after a rain event showing how you can catch that rainwater. So this is in a community garden field at the Espanola Farmers Market where high levels of or exceedance levels of RDX and perchlorates were found from an intern that came to work with us one summer. And you can find her study. Her name is Morgan Juniani and her study is called Red Dust, a Soil Scientist Journey. And so she took soil samples of this field and found elevated levels of RDX which can only come from high explosives testing. So again, it's not just the radionuclides we're concerned about, it's the chemicals, it's the other releases that happen because of it, all the other military activities happening at the labs where it's not just nuclear weapons but also biological and chemical weapons research taking place. And so RDX is water soluble and because it's on the mountains you can see on the background where they're doing these detonations and the spring and the weather the weather events we have, we have really high winds and all that gets depositioned into our soil and our irrigation systems. So it's water soluble and ends up in our fields and then in our plants which can have the potential for coming into our bodies and accumulating. It is time for a story of abundance. Our Cornweathers taught us what it means to love, respect and take care of one another. Our sovereignty is our ability to grow our own food and save our own seeds. To the waters of the world we are sorry, please forgive us. A culture of peace awaits us as we enter our gardens with only good thoughts honoring an ancient evolution. Next slide. So this is the child that was I was carrying in the first picture born from a mate of water and relational love and respect. So thinking about why we need to center Indigenous pregnant families when we think about this work and the policies and if they're protected everyone's protected. Thinking about how what that parent is exposed to while they're carrying that pregnancy and how that is impacting so much that we don't realize and just how it's such a microcosm for the other layers of the culture of violence that we're dealing with. So I'll close with that and just really want to center our deep love and respect for water here in the desert where we live and not just the usage of water that we're dealing with these military activities but um when we have Indigenous communities here that don't even have access to running water or electricity and on some of the mining communities that out where we're from. So it goes through all levels of the production cycle where Indigenous and poor communities are going to get hit the hardest. So I'll end with that and I'm happy to answer more questions later. Thank you. Thank you so much Biaf. That was wonderful and we definitely will have some questions at the end. Really appreciate that. So up next I did want to welcome our last speaker, panelist, Joanie Arends, who serves as the Executive Director of Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, which she co-founded in 1988 to address community concerns about the proposed transportation of radioactive toxic and hazardous waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Through the Center of Santa Fe on St. Francis Drive to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant so she graduated from St. John's College Santa Fe in 1994 and earned a JD from Vermont Law School in 1998. Her work focuses on the environmental, civil rights, and public health issues surrounding the Department of Energy sites in New Mexico. So welcome Joanie and I can go ahead and start sharing your presentation. Hey thank you Carly so much and thank you to Code Pink for this opportunity to tell the story. It's specifically about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. So this is a this is a plutonium pit. This is the trigger for a nuclear weapon and we're going to be talking about where the waste from the plutonium pits go. Next slide. So this is the location of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant which is 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico in the southeastern part of the state. It is the disposal site for transuranic or true waste and transuranic means that the particles are heavier than uranium in the periodic table. After years of litigation WIP opened in March 26, 1999 and it's scheduled to close in 2024. Next slide. To give you some sense of where WIP is located, it's located in the Permian Basin which is sometimes called the Saudi Arabia of the US and you can see that there's 500 oil and gas wells within 2.5 miles of the WIP site and some of the slant wells actually go underneath the WIP site where the plutonium contaminated waste is disposed. Next slide please. So now let's look at the underground. So WIP is 2,150 feet below the surface of the earth in salt formations. DOE claims that it's just gloves and booties and some tools from nuclear weapons testing, research development testing and manufacturing but in reality there are classified shapes for nuclear weapons as well as many dunnage drums because they don't get their shipments together properly. All of the waste is buried in steel containers of different sizes and shapes in these underground cells that you can see the gray areas in this slide. Next slide. So we can see that WIP is here in the southeastern corner of New Mexico and most of the waste right now is coming from the Idaho National Laboratory so it's traveling on the interstate because that's the route that they can use so it goes down to near Salt Lake, goes over on 80 to Cheyenne, goes south through Denver to New Mexico. So one of the concerns about this is that DOE is required to provide emergency preparedness and emergency response funding for the states where the waste travels from. The trucks are inspected at the New Mexico border and in other states as well. Next slide. DOE had a 25-year mission and DOE, the Department of Energy which runs the waste isolation pilot plant, they were supposed to start clean and stay clean to demonstrate that they could dispose of 6.25 to 6.2 million cubic feet of defense from the nuclear weapons industry and its contractors at WIP and that they would close in 2024. Next slide. So environmental justice is an issue with regard to the movement of the waste through New Mexico as well as the permitting for the facility. And the New Mexico Environment Department which is abbreviated here as NMED does not take environmental justice issues seriously. It does not consider the history needs and concerns of the affected communities in their WIP permits. They don't provide, they don't make DOE the studies of the short and long-term effects on communities. They don't require a disparate impact for communities of colors and low income communities because they don't do the studies. And because the Environment Department doesn't understand the affected communities they don't understand what effect their permits will have on these facilities or on the communities excuse me. So DOE and the Environment Department cannot create permits for WIP that are truly protective of public health and the environment. I also want to say that New Mexico is a, I don't like this language but I'll use it, minority majority state. And that 22% of the people here live below the poverty rate and many times were the 50th state in the nation. Just to give you an idea of the impacts of the nuclear weapons industry in New Mexico that their budget for DOE is about equal to our state budget every year. Next slide please. So DOE is reneging on its promises. It no longer wants to close WIP in 2024. They want to keep it open forever. They want to bring all this new waste including 34 metric tons of what they call surplus plutonium. Next slide. And there's a number of studies and strategic plans that have been written in the last couple of years that let the public know what their plans are. So they want to keep WIP open for the surplus plutonium as well as other things and all of these reports have no mention of an end date and no other repositories are discussed. Next slide. So since the late 1970s the Congress has said that we need more than one repository for this defense transuranic waste, plutonium contaminated waste. And DOE's been on notice since 1979 at least that there needed to be multiple sites but they haven't done anything to create other repositories. And this is different than Yucca Mountain which is for commercial nuclear power waste. This is defense related plutonium contaminated waste. One of the reasons that they wanted multiple sites was to reduce the transportation costs and the risks and to share the risks across the United States. And no state including New Mexico is willing to host the only repository. Next slide please. So this is the plan right now that DOE is considering for these 34 metric tons of plutonium. The pits, the plutonium and the plutonium pits are stored at the Pantex plant which is north of Amarillo, Texas. They want to ship it to Los Alamos National Laboratory to oxidize it. And then they want to ship it back to Savannah Riverside to add an adulterant to it called Stardust that nobody knows what it is except for DOE because it's classified. And then ship it to WIP in order to dispose of this 34 metric tons. But one thing I haven't mentioned so far is that all of the space in WIP right now is taken by DOE's commitment to clean up the sites around the country that we saw on the previous map. And so we need your help. There's a comment period right now. Next slide. I'm sorry, Carly. Where you can comment on the scope of this draft environmental impact statement to bring 34 metric tons of surplus plutonium to WIP. And you can go to nuclearactive.org. There's action alerts and sample public comments that you can modify on the right side of the home page. And get those in as soon as you can. We need your help. And thank you so much for listening to this. My contact information is on the next slide. And I want to thank Don Hancock of Southwest Research and Information Center and Deborah Reed designed for helping me with the PowerPoint. So thank you. Thank you so much, Joni, for that great presentation. And I see that somebody has posted the link to that website in the chat box. So thank you so much. And we can also make sure everyone who attended today gets those resources and resources from everyone, all of the panelists here today. So thank you very much. So I wanted to move in. We have about 10 minutes for the Q&A section here. And if it's okay, I'm going to


Hey everyone, welcome to Echo Calypso. We are going to be drawing in one of the two new Banners here, so we have a graceful duel, which I'm going to be drawing at but there's another banner here which is Saints banner and The previous one which is the advanced banner so going back to the graceful banner. I'm planning to get Audrey here I need her healing and And I've been trying to get her from the advanced banner, but With no avail so without further ado, let's try to draw her out here. I think I have around 70 pulls or 80. I'm not sure around that that amount so let's Start with the first 10 so been having a lot of duplicates already as for this one and I've said first duplicate so we have a Guarantee at 50 so second 20 here we go Okay, another another violet and lots of duplicates 30 30th draw I'm not sure why I get a lot of Purples at this point and we have our first yellow We have Vivi which I'm okay with but not really happy to get at this point Good to have her but Not really what I was looking for anyway, let's go ahead. Oh, I have another one It's Baphomet so I got two yellows in this pool two yellows. That was nice Okay, so my Draws actually restart that's good. So we have another guarantee. So let's Try to buy so at 2000 each. I will have seven more draws for this banner. So Hopefully You can get Audrey here This time not VV It's another purple So Let's go through another one Yeah, five more Draws remaining five more tendrils. Oh Hopefully this is Audrey. Oh nice At least we get to have Audrey for the first time and Hopefully get more copies I'm actually happy at this point. I just want to Look and see if I get more So let's go and finish up what I have for my currency so that we can Another purple so I'm guaranteed another SSR At least a guarantee so four pools for more pools to go. I'm not sure I'm gonna do 40 more I'm just gonna fill up that 50 just in case I don't get any Another one it's nightingale another new one. So three new SSR's It's nice. This is really nice And a lot of SR's So three new SSR's for today, okay, so nine Okay, let's Keep on moving this train if I get one more SSR I'd be happier So purple it is This is a nice banner guys so far been good So we have to Do I get one more? No, no, no, no, no Don't let us that's 29. I have one more 10 pull and I'll probably do the rest offline Just in case I don't get another SSR here, but at this point. I am happy with my pulse 39 No Can't do it. So just one more draw just to close it out at 40 so far happy with the draws today, so three new SSR's and I Am guaranteed one more But I'll have to get more currency for this one I'm not sure can I already hear draw This is for procurement draw can't use it here. So I need 10 more I'll do it offline, but again for what I pulled Really really happy with what I pulled So at this point, let us check them out new cases here So I have Who are my new ones, where are you? So Camilla's new. Oh No, I had Camilla before I came here before What I have new is Where are you? Oops, where are the new ones a VV is here and I think Gail is here and we have Audrey so Three girls are here and that is it. So Wish you luck guys for it with your pulls as well So Comments down below if you did well with this banner or if you pulled with the other banner So take your guys stay safe. This is the warden and I'm out of here


Hi my name is Don Wake. I'm a technical marketing engineer with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and today I want to show you how Hewlett Packard Enterprise with the Esmeral container platform is helping you to utilize the the power of the Kubernetes container orchestration software in ways that haven't been available before. So to get us started to give you an idea of how Hewlett Packard thinks about things like data science or or any kind of organization that has to utilize a lot of people to to do these data heavy types of applications. For example let's just take data science for example and and maybe machine learning application you know artificial intelligence. It's a team sport. You have data scientists that are building models and training models. You have data analysts that then are taking those those models maybe monitoring them or you know building applications using that data. You also have a group of software engineers that are doing the continuous integration and continuous development and they need access to tools like Jenkins and GitHub or BitBucket that type of a thing. And then you also have the operations team which maybe could be called a systems administrator or you know somebody that's required to make sure the systems stay online whether those systems are you know in a given data center or online maybe in a favorite public cloud. So when you have all of these people and you have all of these different pieces of hardware and software that you need to organize you need a central control plane. And Kubernetes is great at organizing the containerized software but what about all the other things like different role-based access like for data engineers and scientists and app developers and DevOps. All of these different individuals do not need the same access to the same tools. For example a data scientist probably doesn't want to worry about how to import a given cluster whether it was created on a cloud or on the on premises in your local data center. That person just wants to create a machine learning model. So with the container platform that we're showing here we allow you to use multiple different clusters of and even different versions of Kubernetes orchestrated CNCF certified containerized clusters. So you can have a multi-tenant environment so multiple people could be using the same hardware but not have the same access to for example the Kubernetes namespaces. The Esmeral data fabric is also part of the the Esmeral software solution and it offers a enterprise grade storage for doing things like replication a global namespace and mirrors and encryption at rest and you can have all of these things that you can have the separation of the compute and storage managing the data on premises or in your favorite public cloud. So there's a lot of things that having a central control plane wraps around Kubernetes orchestration. So let me just show you some quick ways that you can integrate your standard Kubernetes administration with the container platform and use it in any way you see fit. So what I'm showing here I'm on let's pretend I'm a systems engineer or perhaps a systems administrator and I'm connected to my Kubernetes platform and so I'll use a simple command called the kube control command or kube ctl and this is connected over the network because I've downloaded a plugin and I've authenticated myself and taken care of all of the security things so that I can you know communicate with my Kubernetes cluster wherever it is. So just get pods commands one of the simplest commands every Kubernetes expert wants to do you know at the atomic level that's how Kubernetes handles applications container app rise applications is at the pod level. So this is the first thing I'm just kind of looking around at my at my namespace and what I have access to. There's another command here to just give you an idea and highlight multi-tenancy when you set up your context this is the particular Kubernetes namespace that me as let's just say I'm the MLOp system administrator and I have access to this and I can do things to help data scientists utilize this cluster to do their job. So this just gives you an idea you know if you're familiar with Kubernetes these are the kind of things you want to be able to do as an administrator and perhaps you you do things that are even much more complicated like using rest API commands and writing Ansible scripts but let's say you now want to abstract things away a little bit and put on your system admin hat and log into our web UI. So this is another way to interact with the platform logging in with Active Directory credentials the Active Directory credentials that were set up by my organization before I even installed a container platform for example. What you see here is this very rich set of tools that you can use to import clusters create new clusters manage clusters and then also create the namespaces the Kubernetes you know tenants is what we like to call them because it's really multi-tenancy environment. I have a lot of tenants here and I logged in I happen to have site admin privileges you can see all of the different resources and you know you can quickly see oh I've got some clusters that might be pushing the envelope on resource utilization maybe I need to go in and add some more servers but what we're going to look at is what we we showed on that command line is the ML ops tenant so this is a tenant or Kubernetes namespace that utilizes the Esmeral software that puts together a whole bunch of things in context related to a full ML pipeline. So as a Kubernetes administrator I may want to come in here and just make sure my pod utilization is looking good okay this pod is using this much of the cores and CPU limits but you know to kind of to bring it back to um to what we were looking at there on the command line I looked at at what pods I had access to and if you go here to one of the contexts of machine learning is a Kubernetes I'm sorry a Jupyter notebook and I have a service endpoints here I can get all kinds of details here and if you remember we did our Git pods there's our pod name this is a Jupyter notebook so you get an idea that if you wish to be a systems administrator you can abstract a lot of the details about how you instantiate the pods or what servers are where so it's a really nice feature rich interface but also supports full REST API as I mentioned and with something like ML Ops you know you're really taking a lot of the abstraction I'm making it very abstract that you don't have to worry about which pod did you know what's the association with the pods in terms of my machine learning or my training engine here I just have access to endpoints so as a as a data scientist I don't have to worry about a lot of the details I can go straight to my notebook and in fact I could I could send this link to a data scientist and say hey in your cluster you asked me to spin up your Jupyter notebook and here I connected it to your GitHub so here's the URL they just click on that they now have access to a cluster a very powerful cluster and they can run their code in this Jupyter notebook on servers that are much more powerful and potentially have GPUs etc so that's just a quick tour to kind of show you some things you could do using the container platform to organize the Kubernetes orchestration there's lots of more things I'd love to talk about and I think if you found this interesting I'm going to point you to some of our resources online we have a demo portal where you can have actually get access to you know an environment that you can play with and of course you could go to our online documentations and there's there's always lots more to learn there's I didn't give a reference here to give you an example of how easy it is to you know get your kube CTL plugin so that if you wanted to use your laptop like I was doing I not have to be remoted in through a server or something you could do that so that's uh that's all I wanted to show you today and it's kind of like a lightning amount of information and lots more to learn but hopefully I waited your appetite and please feel free to contact me or anyone at hpe with the with that container platform and hpe.com and we'll get you some more information thank you for watching


Fighting continues at a steel manufacturing center in Mariupol, Ukraine. Officials are concerned that civilians remain in the area. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban says his country cannot support European Union plans to ban Russian oil. In China, officials now say at least 53 people died in a building collapse in Changsha in Hunan province. They blame the deaths on illegal construction. And U.S. health officials restrict Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine to adults who cannot receive other vaccines because of the risk of rare but dangerous blood clots.


In this video, we are going to look at set notation, Venn diagrams and probability. If you haven't already seen our basic video on set notation and Venn diagrams, check it out here. Firstly, we need to know what the symbols and notations we might encounter mean. A single capital P simply means, find the probability of what follows. Consider A, A is the name of a set, a collection of things considered to be a single object. We can also have A with an apostrophe, A apostrophe. This means that something is not in set A. We also have something called the universal set. This includes everything we are looking at and usually has the symbol epsilon. We can often see it in the top corner of a Venn diagram, denoting that everything is within the diagram border. Starting with the most basic combination of these topics, let's look at the probability of A. This means, find the probability that something is in the set A. In a Venn diagram, it will look like this. The area shaded is set A, so your probability would be from within this A. Now let's look at the probability of not being in A. This means the probability that a quantity is not in set A. On a Venn diagram, that would be from this shaded area. Now imagine that the universal set contains the integers between 1 and 10. And set A contains only square numbers. The notation for this would look like this. Pause the video and see if you can work out where the values should go. Within a Venn diagram, the values would lie as such with the square numbers 1, 4 and 9 within the set A. From this, try and find the probability of not being in A. Pause the video and have a go. The probability of not being in A means not within the set A. There are 7 values outside set A with 10 in the universal set. Therefore, the probability of picking one of these is 7 over 10. We now need to look at probabilities with two sets involved. When we have two sets, we can look at how they are linked. We use this symbol, called intersection, to say something is in both sets we are looking at. We can use this symbol, union, to say that an object is in one set or the other. On a Venn diagram, with the added set B, the probability of A would look like this. Still just set A shaded. For the probability of not being in A, it would look like this, the inverse. To find the probability of A or B, we first need to identify that we are considering all quantities with A. Because of the union, however, both rules must apply, so we must also consider all values in B. The rule of union allows us to consider all quantities which follow at least one rule. The rule for being in set A or being in set B. This is therefore all values within the sets A and B. In contrast, the probability of A and B is found by considering quantities that follow both rules in the probability. In this case, in set A and in set B. The only area which does so is the center portion, so this section would give us our probability. As you will see, unions will always provide a larger possibility space than intersection. Let's try and apply this to a question. A group of people will ask which sport they play, with the results being displayed in this Venn diagram. Find the probability of not being in A and being in B. Pause and have a go. To find this probability, firstly we must consider that we are dealing with intersection, so must follow both rules. Identifying that it cannot be in set A would leave us this area for our possible values. However, because we must also follow the rule that it is in set B, we are left with the following crossover area. Therefore, to find the probability of not being in A and being in B, we have 20 people out of the total 130 people asked for a probability of 20 over 130 or 2 over 13. Have a go at finding the probability of being in A or not being in B. For this Venn diagram, pause the video and try now. To find the probability of our quantity satisfying the information given, we first need to note that we have union, so only need to follow one of the rules at a time. The probability of being in A or not being in B tells us it must be in A, giving us this shaded area. We can now apply the rule that it mustn't be in B. This is the entire area outside of set B. Because we only need to follow one rule however, in contrast to intersection where we only took the overlapping area, with union we take every area that is shaded. Our probability of being in A or not being in B is therefore the 8 shaded values out of 10 in the universal set, giving us a probability of 8 out of 10 or 4 out of 5 simplified. So there you have a guide to finding probabilities using set notation and Venn diagrams. Be careful to remember that with an intersection you have to follow both rules together, but with a union only one rule must apply at a time.


All right, so I got a message on Facebook Marketplace from somebody who I bought a bunch of stuff from before And I was happy with my purchase and I said hey if you ever have any more stuff shoot me a message and We can work something out Let's get started So she sent me a message said she had a big bag of stuff and I asked her how much and she said 20 bucks So I have no idea what's in here It did come with this which is huge. So I'm gonna have to do some research, but we're just gonna go through this humongous bag Okay, guys, baby shark was playing so I'm gonna have to do a voiceover Unfortunately, but before I unbag this entire bag I am gonna show you some buddy mail that I got all right you guys this came from Nikki love snacks, and I'm gonna pop her channel up right here and I opened it so I could record with one hand. So we are gonna unbox the buddy mail See if I can do this with one hand. We may have to pause. All right. This is what I was expecting Hold on a second. Let me get it undone here. All right. Are you guys ready for some cuteness?  All right. I think there's something else in here Well, you know what give me a minute. I am gonna Get it out of the bubble wrap. All right. Are you guys ready for some more cuteness? Look at this It is so cute And it fits. It's a little owl on top of the candle holder How cute is that? I just want to say thank you so much Nikki love snacks you guys if you're not subscribed to on YouTube, please go and give her a sub and We've got my little my little owls Alrighty, so we have this a baby doll which I donated Donated this as well. I have not listed anything yet, but by the time I post this video I hope to have everything listed and some screenshots popped up Sleeping bag not sure about this yet Got a look at the condition And all of that good stuff. So if you see a screenshot, it is listed. If not, it's not It's super cool. It's a Dalmatian dog sleeping bag plush Okay, so this is a costume. I believe it's the descendants I'm definitely gonna list that I have not looked up comps yet This here I ended up donating because it is incomplete It's supposed to have a bed inside of it But because that bed was missing I and it's really heavy I decided to just donate now It does come with a little doll which you will see and I am gonna list that I do believe So a plush, I think that was a Kohl's care. I will probably list that it'll be a bread and butter Here's the doll that goes inside of that. It's called Nana or something like that. I don't know Never heard of it Barbie backpack Some of this stuff. I'm kind of on the fence on I haven't decided if I'm gonna list it or not I will list this horse. It's a Pegasus. There's also a unicorn in the bag So I'll probably list them together. I don't know. I'll comp them out I can't remember right now what the brand was. It wasn't anything. It wasn't Schley or it was another brand Okay, so this is the body suit that goes with that skirt So that's a set. I think these are called Dorables D. O. R. I'm sorry D. O. O. R. A. B. L. E. S. I will list this This is from the movie Frozen so it's got it looks like Elsa and Anna there, but that third character. I don't think goes with this set This is one of those You use like a screwdriver and take the car apart and put it back together comps weren't great on that So I don't know what I'll do with that The little monkey was like a fingerlings. Now. There's a bunch of these trains. They are Tommy brand T. O. M. Y. and There's a track and everything so I haven't decided if I'm gonna part out the trains or listed as a lot That was a baby alive, but she didn't have any clothes or anything like that. So not sure how she'll comp out a Lot of the items in this bag are gonna be bread and butter This is troll hair, but it had like some gunk on it. So It just needs washed, but I'm not gonna mess with it. This should sell its PJ Masks. That's outlet and her vehicle. Oh I can't remember what those are called I've sold them before maybe their Shopkins or strawberry shortcake. I don't know These feel like squish mallows, but they're not and The tag was cut off Okay, so this is a pep of the pig carry case and it's got some pep of the pig Characters, but there were also some miscellaneous down in the bag. So I can definitely list that This is a pep of the pig backpack. If you flip it over. It's got a little plush head I'll probably list that. I think that was a strawberry shortcake. I Didn't realize how fast I was moving here Okay, I don't know who that guy is. Do you guys know who that was? This I just donated So there's a witch costume, I'm guessing it was like a Halloween costume or something It does have the dress in the hat. I am gonna look that up This little guy the tush tag was cut off, but I was able to look it up I cannot remember the brand right now, but I will pop up a screenshot The Buzz Lightyear was a McDonald's toy. It was vintage though. Okay, here's the dress and It seemed to be a nice condition. It's got the hoop around the bottom to keep it so it flares out Spooked I think is that I'm gonna try and list that little guy. I don't know if it was a ty or what tie ty or twi I always mix that up This was not in great condition. So I went ahead and donated it. It wasn't awful. It just wasn't good enough to sell for enough to warrant listing That little puzzles everything was there so I'm gonna look that up. I forget what these are calls just a Think they're one of those surprise things that you open it up and you're surprised at what you get There's a lot of that going on And actually some of them will sell even if they're already unboxed this little Taz guy He's vintage. He's the Space Jam Taz plush So lots of smalls, but you know nothing crazy wonderful in here But for $20, I'm gonna do okay the Doc Mcstuffins Playset at the very beginning. I am gonna part it out It is missing pieces So I can make a little bit of money by parting it out and hopefully somebody that has broken a piece of their set We'll be able to find a replacement in my store for their Playset those I think are called bloom dolls Great you guys I've got everything out of the bottom of the bag. I thought we would talk about this a little bit more in depth I Think I'm gonna list these trains individually The problem is is like they're all Fronts, you know what I mean, and maybe that's how they're made, but they all look like they should be leading the train the brand on these is Tommy brand so I'm gonna look these up individually I Not sure how much I can get. I do have the Instructions for this, but I don't think I have it put together correctly I Got to figure out where this piece goes. So I just have it set up like this So I got to look into this a little more and decide if I'm gonna sell that with like one of the trains Or what I'm gonna do there. So I'll pop up a listing Um you guys saw some of these items this one I showed you when I was outside. This is a Little live pet For real, I'm sorry for real not little life and it actually So that's what it does This little guy decided I'm probably gonna list him. He'll probably be a little bread and butter. Oh my gosh. It's still going I did look up comps on him. They weren't that great So I'll show you that here here are the two horses that I had talked about earlier That I'm probably gonna list together haven't completely decided yet. You'll see screen shares. I Don't know if these will fit like just any 18 inch doll. I Could I tried Google lens and nothing was coming up. So I don't know what to do with those Here's the little doll that came from that case This I think is a Shopkins this I think is a strawberry shortcake Okay, down in the bottom of the bag You guys know I love smalls I do have to look up some of these things. I don't know what this is from but And that These are the bloom dolls. There's three of them and I'll probably list those together This is an LOL doll and this is LOL. I have a bunch of LOLs I kind of just pick them up whenever I'm at sales and stuff. So I may lot those I've sold these before the older ones do better These are 2013 This goes to one of those fish there. I think it's for real live pet or The other one I had said earlier. This is a magnet that pulls the fish around so it follows it So I am gonna sell this as a replacement part I don't know what this goes to Here's one of the fingerling monkeys This I actually looked up comps and it had okay comps. It's animal adventure So this was down in there. I don't think I showed you guys this it's still sealed This guy was the coals care. I do believe. Yeah And this one I think is called rescue.  So that's cool This is fancy Nancy and it's not a super popular cartoon I don't think because I don't see a lot of it So I'm gonna try and list this maybe somebody will be looking for it This is a squishy. Is that pep of the pig? Yuck, look how stuff sticks to it So, yeah That's a bottle. Okay. Here's another thing I can teach you There was a game. It was called Ella fun and I don't think it was complete It only had two of the nets and it didn't have all of the butter. They're called butterflies. I think I Can sell the butterflies separate I can sell the Actual net separate, but I also pulled off the trunk that I'm gonna try to sell separate. So I Got this Barbie here. She's naked. I might just throw her with some other Barbies I thought I might keep this to display Barbie clothes on Kind of a good idea, right? Don't know what this goes with. It's a mermaid tail This will be a replacement part along with this and then This is definitely a winner. So and then the puzzle Haven't decided about this backpack. I'm gonna mess with it or not I might just do something cheap on that. Oh, I wanted to show you this too This is a replacement pet for the stuffed animals that have the babies I'll have to see if I can get its face clean, but this one actually has a Voice thing Doesn't really sound like a doll, but and then here was the the little I don't know. I wonder if that's her bottle Doesn't really fit could be Just says made in China Okay, guys. So the play set at the beginning. Let's talk about that I decided to part it out and Right over here. I am gonna pop up what is sold. I Think I don't know how many things think three or four have sold and then the rest of the listings And I'm gonna stop pointing just in case There weren't that many listings, but anyway It has been a good thing. I'm pretty excited about it So if you see these you can part them out and make money if they are incomplete So let me know what you think in the comments about parting out this Doc Mcstuffins item Be sure to check out the description of the video like comment share and subscribe.
