Okay, we're back, this is Dave Vellante, day three live from EMC World 2013. I'm here with my co-host, David Floyer. David, it's just been an unbelievable event. Shovek Chaudhry is here, and he is with SunGuard, provider of data protection services. I love this spotlight, David, because you and I get to set it up. We get to go deep with Steven Manley. We had Federal Express on, talking about customer issues, and now we get to get with Shovek as a service provider perspective. So Shovek, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me here. Glad, really a pleasure. Yeah, so Cloud, obviously, has been a big theme of this event. I was at actually at the partner summit, and hosted a panel. SunGuard was actually on there. Michael, on Delatoria from SunGuard was there. So real themes around delivering IT as a service, but data protection as a service is something whose time has come. You guys have been doing it, kind of brute force, pre-Cloud for many years. So first of all, tell us about yourself, tell us about the part of SunGuard that you're involved in. So once again, thanks for having me here. It's a pleasure to talk to all of you. My name is Shovek, and I run product management for SunGuard data management services, which involves any managed services around protecting customers' data, using multiple technologies like backup, replication, snapshots, and more importantly, using those technologies to bring up the critical application the customers need to run their production systems and business processes. As you said, SunGuard has been in the data protection and application recovery business for many years, 25 plus years, right? So what we have seen is that the customer problems that we solved have not really changed. How we solve those problems are changing and will continue to change, right? And we use various technologies, AMC is predominant among them, to serve our primary targets, which is the CIOs and VPs of IT, to make sure they can keep their complex business applications up and running and optimize on the cost and the performance. So tell me more about your service. When do customers come to you and what are they looking for? So someone come to us in, let me do this, let me tell you a couple of stories that of customer interactions I had this week at AMC World and that would give you a perspective, right? So I was talking to a CIO of a major energy company earlier today, right? I cannot take the name of the gentleman, very smart guy, and he was telling me, right, you know, a mutual friend connected us and he was like, show me, I got a problem. I said, okay, how can I help you out? And the problem goes like this, right? That one of my primary initiatives from my CEO this year is that I need to refresh my SAP environment, right? I was like, that's great. I mean, it's an interesting project. Lots of people are working on it. You're like, absolutely right. I've got 250 developers writing up the SAP codes and we are going beta in Q3, Q4, and I need to put it on production Q1 January of next year. I said, okay, great. So how can I help you? And he was like, you know what? The biggest problem I face right now, I don't have an availability story. I'm running this huge SAP environment on V blocks, but you know, I am in a downtown location and I have like the worldwide companies, MPLS circuits coming into my basement and if that basement gets flooded, the SAP is down. I don't, and when my CEO and my board asked me that question, I don't have an answer. What can I do, right? And I said, okay, this is exactly the type of problems we can help you with, right? We can make sure, we can start with the data protection layer, make sure that your critical SAP data and the Oracle data that you are generating is in a location that is geographically disparate enough, right? And making sure it adds to all your corporate and laws of the land for the Data Privacy Act, right? We can make sure having the in-depth expertise on SAP and Oracle because we host those and run those in production, that if your stuff cannot actually come into work and the data is not around to bring up those applications, we can bring that up in a data center. And I was like, does that help you? And he was like, absolutely yes, right? I mean, now, let's continue the discussion and I have a story that I can go back to my board and see you and tell them I have a partner who can help me solve this, not only saving me a whole bunch of money, but more importantly, having the expertise and the assurance because people are looking at me and us as a partner for running a $10 billion business, right? So that's why CEOs and VPs of IT come to us, right? For that resiliency, the protection of the critical SAP and other business applications. So talk about your infrastructure, how it's evolved over the past several years. You know this business, you've been in the business for a while now, you understand data protection and the different products and you've seen it evolve. How has SunGuard's infrastructure evolved? Yeah, so over the last 10 to 15 years, right? SunGuard has matured a whole lot, right? And that has been driven completely by number one, what our customers' problems have, how our customers' problems have changed, and number two, the new technologies that have come into the market to help us solve those customers' problems. So we look at the customer, like, okay, how can I solve your problems? And then we look at our key vendors like EMC and talk to their product and engineering team, like, okay, guys, what do you have in your basket? Help me actually solve those problems, right? And as part of that, right, in a 15, 20 years back, the predominant method of protecting customers' applications was using tapes and hardware and stuff like that, right? So then that sort of- That's what you made your name in, isn't it? Yeah, that was made a name, that's where we made our money and was very relevant, right? But the story changed on us and that was completely, once again, not because we wanted to do some science fair projects with new technology, but customers' needs changed, the market changed, right? So we sort of transformed our business from a tape-based, very hardware-centric business to more of a disk-based backup, ETLs, data domains, business, right? And we have a huge number of customers doing that right now. But as we even look at this whole picture right now, we see that we are going through a third generation of transformation again, right? And that is driven by the need for customers for even higher application uptime, like previously, when the tape-based world down for 72 hours was okay. In a disk-based world, down for 24 hours was like, okay, sort of. Now, when I talk to the CIOs and VPs of IT, they are looking for two hours and four hours, right? And that is forcing a whole bunch of change in infrastructure, starting from our network infrastructure layer, the types of disks and compute and storage we want to buy, down to the type of people we hire and the type of application complexities we have to deal with, right? So it's a great question. I mean, we have, we were in one place, we went through a transformation and we are going through the transformation again, not only in the infrastructure stack, but the network, compute, the people and the storage and that whole package we need to do to deliver. I know, David, I know I sound like a broken record on this one, but we're entering the age of how do you back up a petabyte and the answer is you don't. You have to fundamentally protect the data. It's a whole new mindset as to how you approach data protection, so I want to also ask you, so I talked to Michael Delatory about this in the partner summit and I asked, how do you compete with Amazon? He said, well, we don't really, we compliment, but I always say, look, if you can't take Amazon head on, you have to specialize in it. You guys are a perfect example of that. So could you talk about that a little bit, just the whole Amazon effect because they have done a great service, I think, to the industry by forcing, you know, this notion of simplicity and speed. What effect has that had on Sun Guard? Yeah, so, okay, let me answer that question by playing the story of another conversation I had with the CI a few weeks back, right? So this guy is the CI of a major technology company based in the Bay Area, really smart guy, knows what's going on, and you know, I just sort of, in my road trips, I happened to meet him and said, okay, can we go and have lunch? And I was asking him that, what do you want to talk about, right? I have a few questions for you, but what do you want to do? And he was like, Shobik, I mean, my board keeps telling me that this is new thing called Amazon, right? That's going to solve all my problems and just, you know, write them a check. I'm not even sure what you are doing here, right? I can just move the whole business to Amazon.  You don't even have to write them a check. You can just swipe the credit card. Yeah, you don't even have to write a check, right? And I was like, you know, Shobik, you talked to the CI, are you hearing the same thing, or am I just not getting it? Like, connect a few dots in my mind. And I was like, you know, there is a huge disconnect between reality and perception, right? So there is this perception. I mean, so here is this thing, right? When I go to my doctor for the yearly checkup, he always tells me, you're a technology guy, but I know more than you because I go to the best buy to pick up a hard disk for $100. So I am really great. And in a lot of ways, we have the similar problem with the board because they know they can go to Amazon and sign up for these things and they're, okay, I know more than you because I just, you know, I can swipe the great card and buy a computer, right? But it's only such small portion of the story, right? You need to be, protect the data. You need to have application, application, resiliency. You need to have security. You need to have privacy, right? And you need to be in a budget and a cheaper way, right? And then I said, okay, that's fine. I mean, everybody's getting the question and the answer is, right? Amazon is a great service. There are some use cases where they're extremely good, right? And for example, when Dell comes with a new server, which is really cheap, we don't say, oh, I'm really scared. Dell is like, you know, coming up with a new server, really cheap. We figured out how to use the Dell server to deliver a better service to the customer. Yes, you complimented, right? I mean, we do exactly the same with Amazon. We say like 50 petabytes of data, nobody's ever going to use. And it's mostly videos of personal collection, you know, hosted on customer data center. And they're like, okay, dump it on Amazon. Why do you care?  On the other hand, you have a complex SAP application or some other things like that. Yeah, we'll figure out how to use Amazon, but you should not. You cannot use it, right? Okay, that's good. So we're a little tight on time. I want to get into the EMC relationship a little bit, spend a little bit of time on that. So what are you doing with the EMC? You guys have had a partnership for a while. So products, partnerships, you know, relationship, talk about that a little bit. Yeah. And talk about what their vision do. Are you buying into their vision of where they're going? Yeah, so absolutely, right? Now let me start with that vision question for us. And then sort of walk down to what we are doing on the product side, right? So you should look at what EMC is doing, right? EMC has a great portfolio of technologies for application resiliency, data protection, martialization technologies, right? And what we do is we use those technologies to create services. And as service providers, we care about a couple of things. Item number one is solving customer's problem. Can we use the technologies in a vendor to solve the problem? If you cannot do that, there is no story, right? Second, what we do is that the more integrated and cohesive those solutions are, higher is the quality of service and easier it is for us to deliver, right? And the last one we do is that do we really trust? Do we buy into the roadmap and the vision? Can we work at a partner? Can we, you know, if you have a problem at like one o'clock at night, can I pick up the phone and call someone, right? But that's what we do as a service provider. That's what we need, right? And if I look at the EMC and how the relationship is and where it has matured over the last five, 10 years, we got all of those, right? We are integrated with them on the product roadmap side. I know the leadership product management side and the engineering side and the sales side on a first name basis. And it's the vision they have for their products in a lot of scenarios, actually in most scenarios is a joint vision because that is based on common customer problems we are seeing and we basically jointly design and build the products, right? And then we take those products out to the market jointly with us, you know, just like us, like we are talking as friends, like, you know, trying to solve a customer's problem in our sales guys, go out with the EMC sales guys and talk to the customer, say, we jointly can help you solve this problem, can we do it, right? And once you do that, everything falls in place, right? I strongly believe everything needs to be driven by the customer. And when we walk together, get in the front of the customer and we can have visible proof, right? We can actually solve their problems. It works great, right? For example, we launched our Avamar cloud-based, complex application recovery service with very tight recovery time objective last year. Tremendous market response, tremendous. I mean, EMC guys are pulling us into the deals. We are talking to the customers, we have a huge pipeline and it just like sort of, it's a great example of how multiple technologies and partners are coming together to solve real problems for our customers, right? What's on the to-do list and then we got a wrap? So, first of all, digest all the great information and the conversations I had, which we can get back for myself. Pay attention to Shabak. Yeah, second thing we need to do is we have some great exciting product launches and service launches, I think the Avamar cloud and we are very much excited to take it to more and more customers and actually really build it up a real service with many, many hundreds of customers, right? We look forward to doing it this year and then basically continue on our journey of helping our customers with complex application, up-time availability, working very jointly with EMC, right? That's the pretty simple three things and a simple person, three priorities. Shabak Chaudhary, thank you very much from SunGuard for coming on and wrapping up this spotlight on backup and recovery systems, data protection as a service. We really appreciate it, it's a pleasure meeting you. Thank you very much. All right, David, thank you for sitting in on me with us in this PRS spotlight. All right, everybody, keep it right there. We'll be back. We've got a couple more segments here. We're here live from EMC World 2013. This is theCUBE. We'll be right back.


What's going on everyone? Sam here with late in sports cards. We're in two boxes for Tom C. We have one 23 at Bowman Baseball Sapphire Edition and one 22 Bowman Chrome Baseball Sapphire Edition.

We'll get them right out to you, man.


Welcome to this course on data structures and algorithms. Today we will continue our discussion on binary trees. This time we are going to look at a computer program which implements a simple binary tree that we had seen earlier. The data structures that we would use would be a node first of all. Each node will have data left index and right index as we have already seen. For representing the binary tree, we are going to use a object of class vector. So, b t for example, will use to represent binary tree. It is of type structure node. The functions that we will need to implement binary tree, one is of course an insert function which will insert the data element by calling the appropriate functions which could be either make a node if tree is empty or insert at left of the parent or insert at right of the parent. So, this is exactly what we looked at when we saw the construction of a binary tree and this insert then is the main function which will help us construct the tree by inserting elements one at a time. Next, we would require a function called make node which will insert the data at the root and of course, a function for insertion at left and a function for insertion at right. Let us look at the program. This is the structure of the node. It has an integer data, an integer left index and an integer right index. The class binary tree itself is defined to have remember what we said we will use a vector class. So, it is a vector struct node bt. So, bt now becomes our binary tree. There are of course, public member functions in this binary tree which are make node with data as a parameter, insert left and insert right with an index and data as parameters and just insert if you want to insert the data in a particular node. We would also need traversal. So, we have to write a function which we call traverse function. Note that we have only a single function for any of the three types of traversals which we indicate by including a parameter called order. Depending upon a particular value, the traversal will be either in order or post order or preorder. So, this is the end of this class. Of course, please note that when we use the vector class, the standard template library gives us an extremely powerful set of functions which can operate on vector. We are just going to use one of those inbuilt functions. Look at this binary tree make node function. Well, it is very simple. We use pushback. Pushback b will actually create a node with b which will have data and minus 1 minus 1 to represent both left and right indexes because there is no child at the moment. Here is an insert left function. Say stuck node b which will have data and minus 1 minus 1 as the initial values. Now, we say left index of the BT index is to be assigned the value BT dot psi. What is the BT dot psi? It depends upon how many nodes are there in the tree. So, if you have the size as only 1, this will have a value 1. When we pushback b, this value b gets pushed back at that particular index value that we now wish to insert the new node in. Exactly similarly, if I have to insert at the right, I still have that node b as this. But now I set right index of the BT index as BT dot size and I simply say BT dot pushback. So, this node gets pushed as the right child of the parent. Next, let us consider the binary tree insert function. Now, there are two things. One, when the tree is empty, we will have to write some code and two, when tree is not empty and we are inserting a node, then we will have to write the code which will require us to find out whether it has to be inserted to the left or right or whether we have to traverse the tree to find a place for insertion, etc. Let us look at the program in some details. Now, let us look at the code we need to write if tree is not empty. If tree is not empty, then we come to the else part. Please note that if the size was 0, we would have created a node. If it is not 0, then we set index equal to 0 and walk through the tree, traverse through the tree as long as index is less than the current size. As we proceed traversing, we need to write code to insert data at the left of parent or data at the right of parent. In either case, when the insertion happens, the while loop would end and the else part will also end. Let us look at these two options and how they are implemented. First, the code to insert data at the left of the parent. Please note that this will happen when the data to be inserted is less than the data of the parent. So, if btindex.data is greater than or equal to new data, then it will have to be created on the left. Now, we will check is there place of the left or already there is a left index in this particular parent node. If it is minus 1, then there is a place. At that point, we invoke the function insert left with this data. If not, then we set index to the left index and again start going back doing exactly the same thing and that is because we need to traverse the tree till we find a proper place to insert the new data element. Insertion of a new data element to the right of parent is exactly written in the same fashion. If that is not less, then I got a value which is greater than the parent and therefore, I have to look at the right. If on the right hand side, there is no node that means the index is minus 1, I will simply insert it. Otherwise, I will say index is set to right index and continue looking further to the right of that tree to find out what is the next right position. Here is a traverse function. We just go by the order. We have arbitrarily chosen 1, 2 and 3 as representing 3 different traversal orders. If order is 1, we simply output the B index dot data. If left index is not minus 1, that means there is something on the left, then I will say traverse BT index dot left index order. So, you can see that I am calling this traversal again depending upon whether the left index is minus 1 or not. Same thing about the right index that we will do. If the right index is minus 1 or not, we will traverse it repeatedly and these traversals are entirely dependent upon what is the order stated. If order is 1, if order is 2, if order is 3, I simply output BT index dot data. This simple mechanism permits us to do the traversal in all the 3 possible orders depending upon the parameter that we give. Here is our main program. So, binary tree is declared as B1. First of all, I will simply insert in this tree in the order in which they come. We assume that the values come in the order 60 followed by 40 followed by 20 followed by 25. Notice this is the same order in which we saw how the tree was getting concerted. We all use insert, insert, insert, insert, insert. Now, the pre-ordered traversal, the B1 dot traversal 0 and 1. For in-order traversal, we use the order value 2 and for post-order traversal, we use the order 3. So, exactly the same function will traverse it differently depending upon whether we wanted pre-order, in-order or post-order traversal. Note that because the functions which we have written and the strong STL functionality of pushback, we are able to create a binary tree simply by a sequence of inserts. As a matter of fact, if I have 200 or 500 nodes to be inserted, I would obviously put these in a loop and a simple iteration will create the binary tree of any length appropriately. If we look at the output created by this program, this will be the pre-order output, this will be the in-order output and this will be the post-order output. You can go back to the previous session and cross check that these indeed represent the correct order in which the node should come out when traversed, when the tree is traversed in pre-order, in-order or post-order fashion. In a nutshell, we have actually seen a computer program which uses the STL library facilities of a vector with a pushback kind of function already available and we have seen how a binary tree could be implemented and different traverses could be done for the binary tree that we so create. Thank you.


this is my favourite memorial to peace. It stands just below the fortress of Cungouth in Sweden and is a monument to the perpetual peace made between Sweden, Denmark and Norway in the year 1101.

R Own gwleidau, efallai cymryd yr adaelydd yn sylwyddoedd y gwrth belowion, is that conflict archaeology can become a field separated from the rest of archaeology. In terms of its object of study, its close connections with fields outside the conventional remit of archaeologists, and in terms of its most commonly applied methodology, especially as regards sites of actual conflict, the metal detector is regarded with suspicion and disdain by many in our community, and yet this is the most appropriate device for recovering evidence of past large-scale conflict, especially in the period of firearms. For those of us who believe that conflict archaeology has a value beyond its potential to contribute to a rather narrow concept of military history, this separation is a problem. Let me state it bluntly, I don't really care that the work at the Little Big Horn site allowed us to track more precisely the events of Custer's fight with Sue and Cheyenne warriors in 1876. Nor do I care that it turns out that all the plans that have been drawn of the Battle of Hale are oriented incorrectly, as illustrated there, or that we now know what happened to Varys's legions in the Tudor Berger forest. I'm not sure that I care over much that we can develop detailed models for the movement of medieval armies, or that we can reconstruct the shape of forts or military encampments or concentration camps from a range of periods of the past. The focus I've noticed at this conference on memorialising conflict, especially in sessions not specifically devoted to conflict, is a positive move, but still rather narrow, I think, in its approach. I care very much that we can use studies of conflict to obtain insights into human behaviours in different contexts, and derive from that an understanding of how different categories of persons interact with one another. I also care deeply that these understandings can challenge our assumptions and can upset our beloved myths, especially when those myths put our ancestors perpetually in the right or accord them status as victims. I believe that our work should contribute to a broader programme which allows us, as students of the entire human past, to say something meaningful about human violence, and especially war as a human practice, and thereby to engage in wider and, frankly, more important debates. I believe we can only do that, though, from a secure position within the wider discipline of archaeology, that we are enabled to speak about these important issues as archaeologists representing the wider discipline, rather than as conflict archaeologists operating from within a narrower frame of reference. It is, ultimately, an issue of relevance, not to the academic study of the past, but to the important issues of our own and other times that, if we're not lucky, may see us all die in rather ghastly ways if we're not open to challenging them. And I think it's an issue of addressing them very directly. There is a difference we need to bear in mind between mere squeamishness and pacifism that we need to be aware of. So, if those of us who study violence from an archaeological perspective wish to speak meaningfully to the wider world on insights into the human capacity for causing harm to one another, then we need to integrate ourselves more fully into the wider community of archaeologists to claim the authority we need. The question arises, how do we achieve this? In my abstract, I offered three approaches, and this is my chance to outline them a bit more fully. Nothing here will, I think, be very new, but is offered as a basis for considering how we wish the field to move forward, assuming that we do. One way to integrate conflict archaeology with the wider discipline is to reach out from conflict archaeology to those other areas of archaeology by identifying those aspects of conflict archaeology that can be drawn upon by others to the benefit of their own interests. I do believe that we have things to offer. In terms of basic method conflict archaeology, and especially battlefield archaeology, offers access to detailed and specific understandings of phenomena otherwise not well covered by other branches of the field. Battlefield residues are found almost entirely in the plow zone and represent scatters of material at various densities across quite wide areas, rather than more concentrated deposits in the subsoil. They are subject to processes that affect the upper layers of soil, including movement resulting from land use. They are highly prone to the effects of air and water, abrasion and chemical changes due to agricultural and other processes, which cause them to deteriorate and lose surface traces that are otherwise important evidence of past events. They are also deposited over very short periods of time, hours at most, and so represent the kind of shallow time depth otherwise rarely encountered in the field. They are most commonly discovered by use of the metal detector, a device not favoured by others in our discipline and illegal in some territories, but which is a valuable tool in the work of battlefield archaeology and can be applied elsewhere. The interpretation of past conflict requires a clear understanding of landform at very specific moments of the past because of the effect of landscape upon military decision making. It therefore requires the very precise reconstruction of landscapes from available evidence, historic maps, LiDAR data, historic description, environmental and other evidence, a whole range of stuff. The same applies to encampments and fortifications, prison spaces and spaces of commemoration. The interest so many of us share in memory and commemoration and making our concerns open to others is well represented at this conference and of course the experience in forensic approaches and modelling also developed in conflict archaeology are also evident. All these developing areas of expertise, none of them unique to conflict archaeology but highly developed by its practitioners can be put at the service of our colleagues in other branches of the discipline. My second approach to integration is to invite others to contribute to the development of conflict archaeology by identifying those aspects of other branches of archaeology that will be of benefit to us. To some extent this has been evident at this conference but again the approaches are rather narrowly applied. One thing conflict archaeology really lacks is a strong body of theory. We're very good on method and its application that theory is something we tend to avoid any discussion of. Individual conflicts tend to be short lived. Whole wars may last only a few years at most while individual fights can maybe last a few hours or maybe even minutes. But one of the great contributions of archaeology as a discipline is its ability to address aspects of the human past over the long term. We can learn from others how to adapt to our concerns with short term events into a longer term consideration of the human capacity for violence over the whole history of humankind. We can maybe also adapt an interest in origins to identify when in the human story violence may first appear which may provide a valuable insight into how it may be eradicated from the list of threats to human welfare. Those who are interested in the longer term of social and cultural change may be able to offer insights into changes in attitudes and practices of conflict and its management and memory. Theorisations of temporality that take place outside the conflict archaeology groupings may well have something to offer to those primarily concerned with the short term events that are our major focus. Our short term events significantly different in their ontology from the long term. Actually I don't know the answer. I don't know who does. But one of you may. Attempts to understand the practice of archaeology as a modern phenomenon may also have a lot to offer. Much of this of course focuses on excavation practice. But turning the attention to other forms of archaeological practice, especially survey, artefact retrieval and analysis, the mainstays of conflict archaeology might provide us with some of the theoretical foundation we otherwise lack. The lack of theoretical engagement is at charge frequently leveled at conflict archaeology, but others to engage with us would allow development in new directions. A third way forward would be the most radical, neither to reach out to others nor to invite others to reach in. Instead we abandon a focus on conflict to the exclusion of other aspects of the past and instead put our methodological and integrative skills at the service of archaeology more generally. This is neither a reaching out nor a reaching in, but a deliberate exercise in rejoining. But it also requires that others abandon their own claims to exclusivity too. To some extent we can see something like this at this conference, where those individual papers located in sessions otherwise not devoted to discussions of conflict. And there are some reasons, and there are those sessions devoted to conflict where the word does not appear in the title, for example those on resistances. And which therefore invite contributions from outside the remit of conflict archaeology. But even this does not go far enough to suggest in full what I suggest here. What I suggest and I have no examples of how to achieve this except the dropping of labels is that archaeology sees itself as a seamless whole and in which any archaeologist with an interest in any aspect of the past or the present is welcome and indeed encouraged to share with others. It means no more seeking for sub-fields or sub-disciplines or for organising conferences on the basis of themes or indeed for any of us to distinguish ourselves by describing ourselves and others as landscape archaeologists or field archaeologists or professional archaeologists or theoretical archaeologists or environmental archaeologists or archaeological scientists or digital archaeologists or public archaeologists or whatever else. You may consider yourself to be. But that requires us to think anew about ourselves and our field of work. This is the war cemetery to the Korean War in Seoul. If archaeological studies of conflict and other instances of human violence can make no contribution to our wider understanding of these phenomena and with the intention of hoping to eradicate them from our world, then it has very little to recommend it. To be able to play a part in wider debates and concerns, we need to be able to speak with authority and that raises the issue of how we in that field present ourselves and what we understand our work to do. I hope those who were present at other sessions devoted to the various aspects of conflict archaeology at this conference, battlefield study, archaeologies of resistance, occupation, internment, Holocaust archaeologist and so on. Plus those with interest in commemoration and remembrance are here and will take part in our discussion. It will be interesting to see how they represent themselves. One of the issues that arises for this session is how conflict archaeology relates to the rest of the discipline, or even if there is a separate set of activities we can call conflict archaeology. Of the three ways forward I have outlined, and I for them know means as the only things we should consider, the first two are not mutually exclusive. We can reach out to others and others can reach in to us at the same time. But if a thorough going rethink of our relations with others is involved, then clearly they must fall by the wayside. Or maybe a concern with conflict and violence and its legacies is a peculiar pathology that afflicts only some of us and is inappropriate for a discipline such as archaeology which has the capacity to unite humanity by its focus on the long term history of our species. In which case an argument for its abandonment would not be out of place. These are the issues that we invite you to consider.


How you get so big and strong forcing you want to do is want to have a scoop of creatine Can you mix creatine and with things ahead of time such as in your overnight oats? There's certain byproducts that could be the creatine can turn into that make it not necessarily as good for this If you read about creatine, it says it can stay stable up to about 24 hours I would probably take it right when I want to take it that being said We've been preaching now for I don't know eight years on how great of a supplement creatine is for just health Not just muscle building not just fat loss not just bone density, but like health I've talked in the past about like heart health liver health brain health all Better when people take creatine older you get the more important is take creatine So so take it, but I wouldn't mix it in something and then leave it overnight I would take it right when you want to take it

Derbyn addyn nhw, aw i gwnaetho'r Girlnau dd directions mewn clw sliding pan oedd yn sanff teithio rhad yn yr E lim Yn 메� cloth.

I have put in my firmus handle with Allah SWT. For the rest of the day, my niya, the rest of the day will be rolled butawakulun by Allah SWT. So anything that happens today I have accepted that Allah SWT has chosen my path today. So Allah SWT choose my path and I've left it into your hands because you are the most merciful, most gracious as well. It's a beautiful door and it says that he recited it in between the naffal and the wajud. Do you think there's a significance there of the timing of this door? I'm not specific. I mean it's almost the hub of actually reciting it. The best time to recite it is obviously between the naffal and the fadr itself but reciting it after or between or before has the same effect. What do you think about duwas being like a spiritual trajectory for your day, kind of giving you a direction depending on the duwa? I mean I think spiritually one of all is going to pump up your spirit very highly, especially from early in the morning when you're in the thick of Allah SWT. When you're listening to Quran from the morning on your way to work or anything, it uplifts your spirit. So knowing this kind of duwa, knowing the meaning of it and reciting it in the morning, I personally think it brings a different kind of spirit towards you throughout the whole day.  So I think these kinds of duwas actually uplift your spirit from the morning. You're more happier. If you can see all these Mottadaynian men and Alama because they do these on a daily basis, you've never seen them frowning or angry at someone because they're in the thick of Allah from the morning until they sleep. So it brings a happy spirit inside you and you're smiling and everyone will love you. And what about the factor, the time factor? Some people think it's a busy life, this 24 hour, this 24 seven type of lifestyle. Do we have time for you? What kind of practical tips or encouragement would you give people in this mind? If you're reading it, if you're reading it without a, if you're just reading it for the mustahab itself, it'll take you less than a minute. I mean this less than a minute. So that's not too much time to ask.  You know, like maybe something you have. So this specific dua is for, if you have a haja, if you have an exam, if you have a deal, if you have something that's just hanging on and you're waiting for it to go through, this dua is very good for it. And saying it just once in the morning, just like that, with a ffata atum o'l benin after you finished, I mean. Where would you find the morning duas? Where would people be able to access these? So mfati hajanan has a lot of these duas. And also there's a lot of books which are written by Mama Sajad. So Mama Sajad and stuff like that. You find these duas across the internet and stuff like that. I mean they're available. You've just got to be bothered to look for it and actually find it. I think what, sorry. What do you both think about reading the duas in English or reading the duas in different languages, the spirituality aspect of it? Because Allah swt has not captured any languages. He's the creator of all languages. So even if you do it in English. Well the interesting thing in this dua is that it says in the translation, I seek refuge with Allah from the outbursts of the Arab and the non-Arab. And it's encompassing sort of all mankind. Basically. I mean I don't know about yourselves but if Arabic isn't your first language, I think it's nice to read the Arabic in however you can in the efficiency. And then the English translation or the language of your, you know. Your preference of your choice. It gives you the understanding, doesn't it? And then it reiterates really what you've spoken. Of course. And then maybe the blessings in both. It's about your near. Absolutely. It's what your heart or your heart is feeling. Allah swt will take that from there. It's not from what you say. No. So even if you said the words wrong. Even if you're saying that English, the words are wrong. But Allah swt knows that your near is your supplicating to Him. Yeah. So He'll take that from your recording. Would you both think about that line? Because it says about the outbursts of the Arabic and non-Arab. Because that struck me as I was reading the translation. Because of the kind of world that we're living in now. That people lack patience and there's like outbursts. So he said seeking that protection from people's kind of spontaneous anger. Or you know people are very impatient now. Yeah of course. I mean look the world we live in is changing every single day.  Even stronger than before. I mean when Allah swt came out with His message. Came out Arabic. There was a lot of people at that day and age. They didn't speak or write Arabic. Even though they lived in an Arabic realm. A lot of them didn't know it wasn't able to. I mean the writing, the sculpture was completely different to how it was now. So people just had to adapt to that. But what is with now? Now right now Allah swt has given you a mind for you to think widely. And also we live in a day and age where there's a lot of war happening. A lot more than how it used to be. There's a lot of hatred going around. There's a lot of anger. So it's up to us who understand these things, these rulings. Because our religion teaches us a lot about calming each other down. We are cinnamon to everyone. So it's up to us, it's our duty to show this to the world. Whether they are taking it or not, it's up to us. But as long as you've given a small effect to someone else. Allah swt says that it sees it as a massive deed. So you know these ad-air actually help you. Because there's dua for if you have an ill person. There's dua to ease your day. There's ad-air for blessings of risk. And we're actually very blessed. I was going to say about the sickness that we have. I have friends from other schools of thought. And they were saying about migraine, for instance, cure. And I said, well, we have dua. And we're very blessed in the school of Ahl-Bayt to have all this fountain of knowledge that we just need to tap into. So it's actually very true that we have these. What about the obstacles to dua being accepted? There's not other obstacles. I think there's only one obstacle. There's no point of doing it just for the sake of you have to do it. Because your knee plays a massive role in this. If you do a dua and your knee is somewhere else. People say, I've done dua. It hasn't been accepted. Where's your knee? For you to say this, it hasn't been accepted. Don't do it just for the sake of testing Allah swt for it to be accepted. No, have full faith. I think it goes with everything, doesn't it? If we do perform Hajj for instance, we go for Ziyara. If we're going to say, I've done it, it's a tick box. I've done this, I should get what I want. It doesn't work like that. It's actually the connection you're building through this. Less than a minute perhaps to recite that. But it's the connection and the effort we make. So we're feeling the spirit in your heart. My mum, I've done all the chores. Whereas you do them without your mum asking you to do it. She'll come and give you a pat on the back. She'll give you extra rice or something like that. Give you a blessing. So Allah swt works in a very similar way. It's about whatever you need in your heart. You do it and you leave it. Doors will open without you even noticing. Sometimes you'll say, my Hajj is not mochili.  But I've passed that obstacle. You remember it later on. I've passed it. So this one is a good one for the deals, the things that are pending. You're praying for a good outcome that Allah will give you. Open it if I can put it that way. Yeah, of course, of course. I mean, look, Allah al hamr al rahmi. Ysmael yn ymennadah. He listens to everyone that calls out for him. Allah swt. So it's just putting your heart with Allah swt. The reason why we use the ymme is a wasila to Allah swt, because it's like you working at a place. You want to make your manager happy. So the director is happy with you and he'll increase your pay or increase your status in the job. It's not exactly the same, but Allah swt left us people that he loves that we can do wasila through them to Allah swt to get out. But it all depends on your knee at the end of the day. And how you take it and how much you put into this door as well. So we go to your site for us in Arabic. I'm looking forward to this one. I was I cake that that was amazing. Thank you so much. Hes iconic. I wish we could all recite like you. If you want to I would keep that part of your fault to you, Cynyddoch chi'n gwybod, ydyna'n gymrydion cyfath. Fleia, tra'n gwybod Buddhaf.

and somehow attention is going in a successful way which was taught in a patriarchal world. I don't blame the men for everything. No, I'm not. See, this destruction of the planet did not happen because of any evil design. It happened in pursuit of human happiness. Once you're in pursuit of happiness, one person, one planet if you give also, it's not enough. Sadguruji, I have many questions. Yes, being in a patriarchal world, I just... I think there is a lot of power in being feminine. There is a lot of power in being nourishing and attention is power and somehow attention is going in a successful way which was taught in a patriarchal world in a different way. So, maybe we need to undo, unlearn and relearn some new things in our everyday lives. So, please suggest how should we protect? I don't blame the men for everything. No, I'm not. I'm just defining how the power was taught to us. Yes, there are many ways to look at it. I'm not trying to make it controversial, but just to make it fun. If men were going wrong right from thousands of years, women were always there, they could have corrected if they knew better. So, obviously they also did not know any better, isn't it? So, human ignorance and human actions on the planet cannot be separated by gender. Well, certain things can be, a few things. For the larger activity is not gender-based. It is human greed, human aspirations of the time which does that. Above all, there's only one reason why we have brought ourselves to this brink. See, this destruction of the planet did not happen because of any evil design. It happened in pursuit of human happiness, human well-being. Human beings want to live better, whatever their idea of better was. It did not happen because somebody wanted to murder Mother Earth. Yes or no? There was no such intent. So, why our well-being is coming at such a cost? Because in pursuit of happiness, let me tell you this story, there was a potato farmer, potato farmer, okay?  He wanted to eat mango, see, went to a mango tree. But then, being a potato farmer by habit, he started digging, digging, digging. Till the tree fell on him, it's a habit. You want the coconut, you must go up. Instead, you start digging down. The tree will collapse, isn't it? So, you want happiness. You should have turned inward. But you tried to squeeze it from the planet. Well, we are where we are.  By arrangements, convenience will come, comfort will come. Yes, we need some of it. But how much comfort we need if you really look at it? Well, that's not going to cost the planet. It's in search of well-being and happiness that we've destroyed the planet, not in search of comfort. Please look at it. Yes or no? If you were really well physically and mentally, we would need actually very little comfort. Yes or no? Have you noticed this? On a day when you're very happy, you don't need anything. You can sit on the rock and be fine. When you're unhappy, you need a lot of cushions. Yes? So, this is all happening in pursuit of human well-being, human happiness. Because nobody told them if you want mangoes, you must pluck it, look up and pluck it from there, not dig into the soil. You may be a potato farmer for your lifetime, but when you want mangoes, you must look up, not down. This is the only problem. Instead of looking in, we looked out in search of human happiness.  So, we do more and more and more. It doesn't matter the whole thing collapses. When I was at the economic forum, you know, on that particular year, 2008, when there was a certain amount of recession in the western markets, so about 1200 business leaders, every one of them is a billionaire. Okay? Whether you're in single-digit, double-digit or three-digit is the only question, but all of them are depressed because recession. Because you're a few billions less than what you were yesterday, or a few days ago. Then this whole thing was going on and then the economic forum asked me, Satguru, why don't you do one session on recession and depression? Recession is bad enough. You know, why are you getting into depression now? But right now you have made your economic engine in such a way that if you fail, you'll be depressed. If you succeed, we will be damned. Yes, this is like the Panchatantra story, where a man is sitting in the wrong end of the branch and hacking at the branch. When he succeeds, he will fall. That is our status right now, human beings. Because right now everybody is aspiring all over the world. Aspiration is what? Somewhere, United States has become the aspiration in most people's mind knowingly or unknowingly, okay? The very fact, you know, even here wherever I see, I see the blue denims, the United States has become the aspiration. It is America's work man's clothes. That's why they used to be toned, but now you have to pay thousand dollars to tear it in a particular way. So it's become the aspiration. Let us understand this. If this nearly eight billion people on the planet should have what an average American citizen has in terms of physical things, we need four-and-a-half planets. Right now we have only half a planet left. One-half is gone. Please know this. Over fifty percent of the top soil is gone. That means one-half of the planet is gone. To put it back, it'll take five-hundred thousand years. It's not going to happen overnight. So our aspirations have become like this. Our happiness depends on not having a house, but a warehouse. Most homes are looking like warehouses, full of stuff that they never use. How many things in your home do you use at least once a month? Please look at it. If you're not using it for a month, please hand it over to somebody who could use it. A lot could happen. Yes. Because these things have been accumulated, not because the usefulness of what it is, these things have been accumulated in pursuit of happiness. Happiness will not come that way. You want to be blissed out. There's something you need to do about this one, not about all that. That we do for comfort, convenience, activity. Yes. But that there is enough room, planet is generous that way. We can all be active and well. If we handle our well-being and our joy within ourselves, there is room for all of us here to do whatever we wish to do. But once you're in pursuit of happiness, one person, one planet if you give also, it's not enough.


I apologize, I was just coming to check in on Chris, but I found it for a little change, I found, I'm just guessing I don't know, 4 bucks and I'm putting it down. Feels good to be back on the foam roller, back in the saddle as we like to say. Today I went 8 miles in the Beacons, the New Balance Beacons. I've been running in the shoe now for, I don't know, about 10 days approximately, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite shoes I raced on Saturday. The Half Marathon, go check that video out. Essentially, that Half Marathon was on a tough course. I'm not really sore, maybe a little bit in the upper soleus on the outside on my left leg where my plantar fasciitis is at. But today, I must say, these guys felt amazing. So I went 8 miles at 730 pace, 730 pace, and yesterday I went, what was yesterday? I went 7 miles at about 820 pace, and the day before that, which was right after the race, on Sunday, I went 3 miles at 10 minute pace.    Tuesday, a little faster. Wednesday, a little faster. And so anyway, that's kind of the progression that I take after a hard race. And then probably, sorry, no, today's Tuesday. Probably Thursday, I will go hard again, meaning some sort of workout or time trial, I'm not sure yet. So stay tuned. Anyway, I'm excited about these beacons. I'm not as excited about these Brooks Ravenna 9s. I may have made a mistake with this Brooks Ravenna 9. Stay tuned. I might be returning them. We'll see. We'll see. All right. Later in today's video, I'm going to show you guys the entire running shoe collection. And the reason I'm doing that is because some of you are asking to see, like, how many shoes do I have? What types of shoes do I have? And so I'm going to lay them all out. Once the family is asleep, I'm going to lay them all out on the living room floor and just kind of walk you through the thought process behind purchasing all these different running shoes. Time to go digging for some shoes. Come on. Come on. Come on. This is every single pair of running shoes that I own. And I am definitely not showing you this collection to brag. That is definitely not the case. I'm showing it to you for a couple different reasons. But remember this gentleman, a BB Bacalé from Ethiopia in 1960? Yeah. He didn't even need shoes to win the Olympic Marathon gold medal. We've come a long way since 1960 for the better. I would say for the better. We've got the vapor fly up here, the 4%. We've got some Pegasus. We've got some Brooks, some, even a Soccany here. I think there's a Hoka over there. On the bottom line, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to wear different running shoes. Now, a couple people in the comments asked to see all of my running shoes. So this video is for you. I love running. I love running. I just love it. We don't have to buy bicycles. We don't have to buy basketballs or swimming goggles or all the hockey gear. If you're a hockey player, good luck. There's so much gear you need for so many other sports. But in running, all we need is running shoes. Isn't that a beautiful thing? And that is the keyword of the day. Well, I guess it's two. Running shoes. Running shoes. And yes, the question of the day. What is your favorite pair of running shoes? Okay, this could be any brand at any point in time. And I believe there's an old Asics or New Balance or something. It's like coveted. Maybe it's Brooks. And it was discontinued in the 90s. And people are always looking for that running shoe. But anyway, what is your favorite running shoe of all time? Alright, can you even narrow it down to one? I don't know. That is your challenge for today's video. But I just appreciate the simplicity that we all get to interact with every single day if we choose to get off the couch and go run and put on a pair of running shoes no matter how new or old they might be. And folks, this looks like a lot of running shoes. I realize that. And it is. It is. I didn't count. I should have counted. There's probably about 20 pairs. And essentially, I have an emotional attachment to some of these shoes. In fact, I'm just going to show you one right now. This is a Nike Bill Bowerman track spike from college, from the University of Colorado. This is 12 years old. And guess what? I did a one-mile time trial in this shoe about four months ago. And guess what? It still works. It still works, even though it is 12 years old. And so, folks, yes, I have a tough time getting rid of running shoes. And maybe you do too. Because guess what? You're out there. You're pounding ground. You're working hard. And you're sweating blood, sweating tears in these shoes. And yeah, it's hard to let go of them sometimes after you put miles and hours into these running shoes. And so, again, I am not showing you this collection to brag. I'm showing you this collection to make the point that as runners, we have an incredible gift. The gift is that running is efficient and it's simple. And yes, it's nice to have a watch that, you know, does GPS. Yes, it is nice to have the latest hydration system or the best sunglasses to keep the sun out of our eyes. But frankly, at the end of the day, I can distinctly remember in high school and in college, like running in cotton shirts and a pair of running shoes and socks, maybe, no, and socks. And that's it. That's all you needed. And guess what?  Now, I have certainly increased my running gear over time. And I think it is important to have the essentials for running, including the right running shoe for the particular distance and the particular surface. And a lot of these shoes in this pile are trail running shoes. And a lot of these shoes are road running shoes and a couple track shoes. So there's different shoes for different surfaces as this channel continues to grow. And thank you, by the way, for subscribing. All of you guys, the growth is just blowing me away. And I'm going to keep uploading if you keep watching sound good. Is that a deal? But I'm excited based on my 20 years of running experience to continue to continue to test and reflect and communicate to all of you my thoughts on the performance of different running shoes. So I'm going to continue to purchase shoes. I'm going to continue to wear them and wear them into the ground and pound them into the ground. But most importantly, I want to communicate to you the pros and cons of a lot of these shoes that you're seeing right in front of you. And behind every pair of running shoes is a story. And frankly, it's your story. So I want to just point out two pairs of shoes that really tells a big part of my story here on YouTube. Let's start with the Hoka right here. This guy, the Hoka Clayton. I bought this Hoka Clayton about 18 months ago. And I love transparency. I love being open with you guys. I'm not always saying that I've been in the best financial position as an adult. And therefore, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. You guys know that. Basically, I bought this Hoka Clayton off of Craigslist for $20. In fact, I talked the guy down from $30 down to $20. And at the time, he had only put like 15 miles into the shoe and he didn't like them. And so he was selling them on Craigslist. And I was in a pinch, you know, didn't have a lot of extra money at the time 18 months ago. And I said, hey, man, let's make a deal. And sure enough, he sold me this pair of shoes for 18 bucks or sorry, 20 bucks. And essentially that this pair of shoes, man, got me through about five months of training. And yes, I mixed a couple other shoes into the mix, but it was this Clayton that got me through those tough times. And then fast forward to the present. The Nike Vaporfly 4% Flyknit. A $250 shoe. So all I'm saying is my story and the progress, the patience, the persistence, the consistency on YouTube has frankly allowed me to go from $20 on Craigslist to this guy. And this guy, I've been able to run so well in in the 5K, 10K, half marathon time trials. And all I'm saying guys is let's work hard together. Let's keep pushing each other. Let's keep each other accountable to our training on Strava. And I just, everything comes full circle and it's just humbling to be able to share my passion for running and running shoes with all of you here on YouTube. So I love you. Thanks for being here. Thanks for supporting this channel, for letting your running friends know about this channel. We're just getting started. You know what I mean?  Gets me going, gets me going. See beauty, work hard and love each other. We will see you.


My name is Rita. I'm an adult nurse within the emergency department in the UK. I get asked a lot of questions on how to answer possible interview questions around conflict resolution. So today we'll be focusing on conflict resolution. The first thing I want us to understand is that most times we always have to link our answer to the not to the NMC code of practice. Now, the one thing, the one code that conflict resolution revolves around is promoting professionalism and trust. Now, the first possible questions you might tend to have around conflict resolution might be, okay, tell us about a time that you were involved in a conflict and how did you handle it. Now, the first thing I want you to understand is that promoting professionalism and trust has to do with making sure that you do things the right way based on your trust values and the NMC code of practice. Now, the first thing I would do in that situation is two questions that you've been asked to tell us about a time that you've been involved in a conflict and how did you handle it.  Well, the second question is around telling us how you were able to resolve the conflict. Now, most people tend to miss out the first part of telling the interview panel of a time that they were involved in a conflict. Now, if you don't have any practical examples, I would tend to tell the interview panels that I have never been involved in a conflict, but if I were involved in a conflict, these are the things that I would do if I were to be involved in a conflict. It shows that you have knowledge of what to do, even if you've never had an experience in that. Now, first of all, you tell the interview panel of a time that you've been involved in a conflict and if you've never been involved in a conflict, you tell them that I have never been involved in a conflict, but if I ever get into a conflict situation, these are the ways that I would handle the situation. Now, the first thing you have to do is ensure privacy. So you call your colleague who you are having the conflict with, to a private and quiet place. Now, you need to stress the private and quiet place because it is very important. Do not say I will call my colleague aside because aside could mean that you have people at the corner chatting or talking. Someone by the side. So you call your colleague to a quiet environment where there is nobody. Then the second thing you do is you try to find out what the problem is. Now, depending on the situation, if it is a very heated argument, I would suggest you call an extra person into the quiet place to keep both parties safe. Now, you go to a quiet place, you try to find out. The second thing you do is try to find out what the problem is. That's the second point you make. Then the third point is if you are unable to resolve the problem there and there, you escalate to a more senior person than you. So which in this case might be your line manager. So you escalate to your line manager. Now, that is one way to answer that question. Now, there is another question that could probably pop up in terms of conflict resolution. Now, they might ask you, so you come to work, they will give you a scenario.   That is a conflict resolution question. Now, the first thing I would want to do in that situation is to call my colleagues to a quiet and calm place. Now, I will try to find out what the problem is. That's the second thing you do. Try to find out what the problem is, what is the reason for the conflict. And if you are able to resolve it, that's fine. You send them for a training, a conflict resolution training to refresh them. They might know, but they need a training refresher. So to refresh their knowledge on how to handle conflict within the workplace. Now, if I am unable to resolve the conflict, the next thing I would suggest you do, if you are unable to resolve the conflict, the next thing I would suggest that you do is escalate to your line manager. But definitely your colleague would need for that training conflict resolution. And the next thing is the patients because they had a conflict around the patient. So the next thing you'll be looking to do is to go into apologize to the patients. So I would suggest the next point is to apologize to the patients. Go to the patients and apologize to them for what has happened. And if they have any complaints, if they want to make any complaint to the hospital, you direct them to the necessary place to make their complaint, which in this case in the UK, it's called PAWS. So you direct them to PAWS to make any complaint that they might have about having to witness and notice have conflict in front of them. So just to summarize, in terms of conflict resolution, when you're answering your question, it has to be centered around promoting professionalism and trust. The first and your first answer should be calling the parties or going to a private and quiet place. The second point is trying to find out what the conflict is. Then the third point is if unable to resolve, escalate to your line manager or a more senior person. Now, if the conflict occurred in front of a patient or in front of patients and it was not handled in a professional manner, then your colleagues or you or whichever was involved in the conflict needs to go for a refresher training on conflict resolution. Then for the patients, you tend to apologise to them and give them the necessary details to make complaints if they so wish to. Now, these are the ways that you could possibly answer your conflict resolution questions. Thank you very much for listening to my talk on possible interview questions.
