If you've ever wondered where drag superstar RuPaul lays his head, it's just as fabulous as you might expect from him. There's his four-poster canopy bed, or his velvet cloth for day bed, in his Beverly Hills mansion he shares with his husband George LeBar. Property is stunning as can be and worthy of royalty with grand rooms and neopausical details dressed up with bold colors and maximalist glam. After purchasing the home for $13.7 million in 2019, RuPaul hired interior designer Martin Lawrence Bullard to give the 1980-built mansion a makeover and get the place to match his vibrant taste. Bullard then combined the original classic details with RuPaul's larger-than-life mansion. No wonder!


Alrighty, so we have a really interesting video today and there's gonna be really interesting videos for the next six days after. So for those of you that don't know, Amusement Insiders is experimenting with some sort of new segment. It's Seven Days of Halloween. So this is completely different from our theme park roller coaster kind of content. So if you are here for roller coasters and theme parks and you're not really interested in an adult screaming on the top of his lungs in an escape room, because he's scared beyond belief. This isn't going to be the video for you. I just wanted to give you a fair warning so you can click off and not watch this. But if you're interested in watching an adult completely lose his mind in an escape room, then this is definitely the video for you. This video is meant to be funny.  This is fair warning now. So none of you can comment down below that your eardrums were damaged by the video. But regardless, I really hope you guys enjoy this. This is day one of our Halloween event. So it's Seven Days Long. We have other series coming with the Halloween. So you're gonna see some Canada's Wonderland Ghost Stories, Kings Island, Carowinds, and Disney Ghost Stories as well. And I'm going to be at a haunted farm on Friday for some content as well. So that'll be another funny series. That one we will film. This is just a voice reaction that you guys are gonna be listening to. Anyways, I hope you guys really enjoy it. We're gonna get right into it. So comment down below what you think for next year's Halloween event. Give us any advice. Have a good one. Enjoy the video. I never got scared from reaching up in dark spots in this escape room at all. On the wall. Where's my upstairs? Right there. Right there. I'm not doing this. I just wanted to see how you got this. I hit him on the wall and I was reaching for something in a face. Oh, it was just a strong thing. I was never scared for my own shadow. It's right there. It's right there. It's right there. That's you buddy. That's your shadow. I was not afraid to be the first one to go in at any point. I'm not going in first though. Dude, technically I'm going in first. Oh, thank God. Holy. Jesus. Okay, I thought this side was gonna open. Yo, get out, get out. Okay. You want to go first? No, I'm not going first. Okay, come on, get out. Last time I reached for something, I faced it here and I'm not doing it. That was never much. No, no, up here. I was fiddling along the ground with this vent and a guy popped up right there. And he didn't say anything. He just looked. I remained calm and my friends didn't laugh at me at any point in that escape room. Oh my God. Oh my God. Why are we doing this? Come on. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. Brenda, you wanna go? Hey, hey, hey. Ah!  I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. I'm gonna scare him. Ah! Whoa. Okay, you're out of me. Wait, wait, wait, wait. They're coming, they're coming. Easily moved on from the experience I had with the face in the beginning. I don't like it because I'm not going near any of the walls. I'm not going near any walls. When you find a lock, that's nice. What do we do with that lock? There's a crow here. There's places I want to reach but I don't trust it while I'm reaching up there. Why is he coming out again? I saw him for a split second because I was touching up there. No, they're gonna pop it from the ceiling any second now. You're not the one that was reaching up for the ceiling and some face came out of nowhere. That might have been your reflection. That's already on yourself? Yeah. Are you looking for the person again? I faced all of my fears. Yeah. Are you guys ready to go? No. I know, same. Too bad, you're going in otherwise. Why is it always me? Why is it always me? Wait, did you feel something? No, he whispered. No, I know, oh, don't go over there. I was never shook. I couldn't, that shook me as he tried to calm down after that. That was a nightmare. I was a leader, a true leader and most certainly didn't ask a lot of questions. Guys, pay attention, there's secret glass. They're all running by. I'm sorry, I'm gonna be of no help through this. I'm just gonna let you guys do that one. Are these police that were murdered? No, probably. There's a phone, do I pick it up? Yes, that's probably the case. This, I said, is not working. Based on these letters, we're gonna need. Check box. Are they? Oh, yeah, they are. What are the letters? Who has the letters? None of us have letters right now. We just have all the badges. Wait, what's this? Brigidier, we're pushing. Yeah, we're gonna end up in there right now. We're gonna end up in the freezer. Trust only me. Play my game, play my game, trust only me. So the guy in the phone is trying to save us. America, oh, oh, I thought we lost. I don't think, imagine if he gave them my name, I would flip. I'm not holding my hand here. Yo, somebody has to do this. No, wait, what is this? That guy's waiting over there. Okay, so, three of us have to do it. Three of us have to do it. What is it? I need something. Oh, no, sir, no, no. Okay, yo, America. America, you signed us up two hands in there. Two. Two of your hands. What does it say on the paper? A, S. Oh, same guy. That's in the hand. That's you, that's you. Oh, you spelled it wrong. Tasty. I'm not afraid of how we hunt at all. I told you, I find how we hunt realistic, okay? You just put me in a horror film right now. I listened to all of his instructions. But I heard something. Am I not supposed to tell you? I don't know. I'm convinced you guys are reaching your feet. Oh, f***. Oh. Oh, f***. Oh, I'm not answering that. He didn't scare me at all. Two. What did he do? Two. Ah! There's five letters on the answer board. I could totally survive alone and be comfortable in that escape room. Ah! Whoa. Whoa. Oh, what did you say? I didn't hang up the phone. I didn't hang up the phone. I didn't hang up the phone. I didn't hang up the phone. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'd probably be the last one killed in a horror film. This is why I'd be the first one killed off. We followed all instructions well. Hi. Hi. Thanks. Oh my God. Jesus. Did you see me run to the corner? Ah! Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Can anyone get out of here? No. Oh, no. No. Get out. Get out. Get out, get out. Oh, no, no. We're coming. Go, go, go, go. We're going out, we're going out. We're coming. We're coming. He's in here. What do you mean? I can't tell you anything. Woo! I was never panicked at any point. Ah! Ah! Hey! Oh my God. Oh my God. You're out of the pool. Okay, let's leave that alone. I'm just obviously up in the studio. So we're all going to die now. Oh, whoa. So at this point, get inside the truck. Oh my God. Get inside the truck. I can't believe how easy it was to get you in this truck. Whoa. That is actually a tricking out point. Oh, one minute. Okay, whatever. Just check this off. Someone's going to pop out. Oh my God. Get out of the truck. Get back. Get out of the truck. Get back. Get back. Get back. Get out of the truck. Get out of the truck. We most certainly made it out alive.


So the new spirituality, the spirituality of the future is a spirituality which is very corporeal. It's very present. It's very here and now. In fact, it's present itself. I have a question, Maharish Kaji, about empathy in the soul. And how does empathy influence the individual's expression and knowing of their soul? For example, in my experience with empathy, you can feel how someone else is perceiving the world. And that can influence a direct experience of my own. And I wonder how important is that? And how does it influence the individual expression of the soul, of Priya, born of Pamela, her soul? So there's a direct connection between the depth of self-realization and the empathy that you feel for the other. The deeper the self-realization, the greater the empathy. And what is interesting is that when the empathy is a result of self-realization, which means the tuning in to the soul, center of your being, to soul, to source, to truth, the resulting empathy is of a kind which won't lead to harm or negativity to your person. When you have people who are empaths, but who are not within the system, who are not deeply entrenched within the system, who are not tuned in to the very cellular materiality of their being, who are not present here and now, but are more blissed out, tuned out, more cosmically inclined, the system becomes porous, it becomes extremely sensitized, but it doesn't have the defenses. So you have an empath who is essentially materially weakened, but when you're tuned in to the source and the soul in a sense of surrender, and when we say source or truth or soul, these are different words and they have a different meaning for each person and that's the beauty of it also because we don't need to know what that exactly is and what is it made up of and okay, it's an atom, but then what kind of atom and all of that is not so necessary. What is important is to understand that there is a center to you and that center is independent of what you call you, Priya. So Priya is the one that is actually in surrender to that center and that surrender strengthens her materiality and therefore, as she develops this empathy, she is not weakened by it, but strengthened by it. It's amazing how that works and it really works for everyone who is by nature and I think everyone in this satsang today is going to be fundamentally empathetic because else you wouldn't be in a satsang like this to start with. Even those who learn because they want to have power over others are fundamentally empathetic and haven't found that out yet. So the more you bend and surrender, the more life itself is devoted to that and it doesn't mean that you walk around with a halo and you can't write a check. It doesn't mean that it just means being very present, being very tuned in, being in love with the source, with the self, which is love itself. But that empathy that results from that is not weakening you. You just become stronger. You become more powerful in a consolidated sense, in a coherent sense. So it is very important to bend, to surrender, to go into that state. Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. And in fact, going inward, instead of going out and in the cosmos, but going in and taking station, perhaps to the source, to the soul, makes you just that much more solid. Absolutely. It is not even taking any information anywhere. Finally, what it boils down to is that you, so you're present, you're here and now, you're aware of this being present and you're in a state of surrender, you're bending. And you're bending to what? Very, very technically spoken, when you say bending to the soul, you're bending to the self, which is you. But the identification with the soul is not what is to be done here because then you detach from everything. If you say, I am the soul, then I'm detached. And surrender is the key, not detachment. Detachment is not the key to being able to live in the body here and now, present in this world. And dealing with challenges of a very real life, you know. But the empathy, the feeling, the wanting to do good is from a place of surrender, not from ambition, like doing good, but not being exploited, feeling the pain, but not throwing yourself in front of the bus, so to speak. Yes, you won't do that if you're in surrender to self. You're more likely to do that if you're spaced out. People who meditate a lot, for example, people who take too many drugs, people who drink too much alcohol, people who chant for many hours, nonstop, that experience of bliss is actually a movement of consciousness, which moves into a bliss state, but then it starts to also leave the system. And the more you leave the system, the less protected the system is, you know, makes sense. So the new spirituality, the spirituality of the future is a spirituality which is very corporeal, it's very present, it's very here and now, in fact, it's present itself. And these are not, you know, these are not meant to be words, they're meant to be actions in action, now present, tuned into the other, aware of the other yet equally aware of your own materiality.


Why stop at just sprinkling statins on our happy meal, when we could be even more aggressive? Is it time for the poly pill, one pill, containing five or six drugs, a statin, three blood pressure medications, a thiozide, beta block or an ACE inhibitor, maybe some aspirin, suggesting even over-the-counter availability? The chance of benefit may be less than 1% per year and that of side effects, 6% overall, some of which, like internal bleeding, may be life-threatening, so for those who would rather go with diet rather than five drugs, how do you do it? To lower our cholesterol through diet, we need to avoid three things, trans fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. Trans fats are mostly in junk food and animal products. Here's the top food sources of cholesterol-raising, saturated fat. That quarter pounder doesn't come in until 8.  Whereas cholesterol found in the American diet, number one's not beef, it's eggs and chicken. And then beef, cheese, pork, and fish before getting to cakes, cookies, donuts, and ice cream. How much should we reduce our consumption of these foods? What are the tolerable upper intake levels for trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol? The Institute of Medicine did not set upper limits for trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol because any intake level above zero increased bad cholesterol, LDL cholesterol. Here's trans fat. There's no level that's safe. It's like a straight line. The lower, the better. Any intake, any level of trans fat intake above zero increased LDL cholesterol concentration. The number one risk factor for our number one killer, heart disease. And same with saturated fat. Any intake level above zero. And similar findings for cholesterol. So intakes of meat, eggs, dairy, and junk food should be as low as possible because there is no tolerable intake.


This is very serious. This is experimental control. You're engaging in an experiment. You have two types of experimental control. Number one, which is often thought of as a thought of, thought of as the second one, is the amount of control that the researcher has over the independent variable. Can I withdraw, can I put it back in place, can I withdraw, can I put it back in place? Do I have that precision over what it is I'm trying to do? I can crank up the temperature in the room and things like that. I have precise control, experimental control. It also is about the outcome of an experiment and how it demonstrates a convincing relation between the independent variable and the dependent variable, right? So if your experiment is designed well, you have experimental control. And if the researcher has experimental control, they'll be able to implement their independent variable as needed, whatever level of it is needed, right? And then we measure those effects in the dependent variable. So experimental control, the more of it you have, more than likely then you will be increasing your internal fluidity. So go ahead and see that video next, but it's really important and it helps us rule out confounds. And this is how quality science is done with high levels of experimental control.


Okay, we're back live in San Francisco. I'm John Furrier with SiliconANGLE.com. I'm here with my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org. We're here with Jason Nolette, who is the VP of the Data Center and Enterprise Networking Business at Brocade. Jason, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks. First time. Glad to be here. It's awesome. Pleasure to see you. So, sans lands, IP, it's all going crazy. You know, actually, interesting. Fiber Channel, I know, has been a little boon for you guys lately. It's been bumping up. I thought Fiber Channel was dead. What's going on? No, that business is alive and well. I mean, customers appreciate, you know, five or six nines of reliability and the fact that it's proven in 90% of Global 1000 data centers. And so, it's a very, very sticky technology with a lot of loyalty and we continue to grow that business and customers love it. But a lot changing in networking, right? People talk about North, South, East, West. Talk about what's changed in the last five to 10 years. Yeah, well, you mentioned, you know, changing traffic patterns. Obviously, data center networks have historically been built for client server traffic patterns. A lot of North, South, client makes a request, server gets it, spits out the response. All of that is changing with virtualization in the data center. And we're seeing a real transition to East-West traffic. And the question is, what kind of a network do you need for East-West traffic? Well, you need a network that's built for server-to-server communications. And this is where, you know, our offering in VCS fabrics and Ethernet fabric technology and our VDX switching product line, this part of the VSpecs offering that was announced today is purpose built for that environment. Purpose built to foster the notion of server-to-server communication based on things like VM mobility, based on things like the disaggregation of applications that used to be monolithic running on one physical server, now componentized, running across a number of different servers that creates a lot of inter-processed communication traffic that is East-West, and you need a network built for that. So talk a little bit more about your point of view on converged infrastructure.  So how has Brocade participated in that? And where do you see it going? Well, I think the announcement that was made today is a perfect offer for the market that kind of balances the notion of pre-validated proven solutions but maintaining some flexibility and some choice for the customer. So where I think some customers may prefer to get that fully locked down, single skew kind of converged stack, I think more customers are going to appreciate the benefits of a VSpecs-like offering that gives them the flexibility of choice, best of breed componentry, and a much broader, you know, set of technologies to choose from as they're building these data center environments. Well, we've quantified it on Wikibon. We just did a study, and I'll share this with you, Mark. I don't know if you can pull it up again. It's figure one. So in fact, if you look at the market, John, for converged infrastructure, it's $400 billion TAM. Now that includes everything, servers and networking and storage and services and infrastructure management software. The biggest piece of that is what we call reference architectures, which is what you talked about today. Exactly. I mean, these guys might not like us calling it a reference architecture, but essentially it's that we would define it as such. It's the choice, the proven solution, the tested, and that's really probably four to five times larger than the single skew market. So you're obviously agreeing with that. Yeah, absolutely. The other thing I'd say about it is that it's a much more channel-friendly offer than the single skew approach. The single skew approach runs the risk of kind of disenfranchising the channel because they used to bring systems integration capabilities to that offer. I think the reference architecture, the V-specs kind of offer, gives the channel a greater opportunity to consult in that choice, to help the customer size the deployment, help them choose the best and breed componentry and really brings them back into the fold in terms of being an advisor to their customers. Yeah, I mean, a single skew business today is a lot of large deals, obviously, and that's cool, especially for customers that are comfortable with that and can maybe deal with some of the integration on their own, but the smaller and mid-sized businesses don't have that capabilities. We had a number of channel partners on today talking about the services opportunity, John, and that's been a huge... Yeah, I'd like to talk about more of that purpose-built, we've been hearing that going way back to our discussion around Oracle versus SAP and the choice, and we're seeing more and more purpose-built solutions out there. A lot of integrated components we heard from Citrix earlier, she's been in the business for years and talking about how the building blocks to build these solutions are harder and harder. Now with these purpose-built products, now purpose-built architectures is opening up, so I'd like to get your opinion. What behind machine to machine do you see as the other opportunities for these purpose-built products? Well, I think there's a number of specialized application that like the notion of a purpose-built product or purpose-built stack, and in fact, when I talk to customers about their choice around the single-skew architecture versus the reference architecture, what I hear is the single-skew architecture is appropriate for some applications that would benefit from that kind of environment, but on the flip side of that is the notion of vendor lock-in. If they're going to build broadly, their IT infrastructure based on only purpose-built and fully converged infrastructure, it doesn't leave them a lot of choice, and it creates a vendor lock-in scenario that they're afraid of. It's one of the rubs that we're starting to hear about blade servers today, is that blade servers are not as flexible for the customer in the end because it's not as easy to repurpose a blade on a server as it is a 1U rack server that can be deployed in a variety of other areas, so I think we're going to see more and more offers like V-specs that are given the customer the choice and we're going to see purpose-built infrastructure that is specialized for a given use case or a given application. Yes, lock-in is nuanced, right? And I think a lot of customers that I talk to say it's about pricing power, they're afraid of the single skew solution because they're afraid that while it's alluring, that they're going to lose their pricing power. What a lot of companies are doing, and you're seeing this with, certainly VCE is very aggressive, Exadata with Oracle, they'll put white glove service around there, and we know what that's all about, it's a land grab, and hey, the same thing's probably going to happen with V-specs, we were at IBM yesterday and they said we're not going to charge a premium for our converged solution, their integrated solution, so over time, there's a value, however, I guess I would argue, I'd love to point a view on this for integration. So over time, shouldn't customers expect to pay more for integration, especially if it's going to cut their labor cost? Well, I think it depends on the form of integration you're talking about, if it's a fully converged integrated stack without a lot of choice and componentry, then I think it certainly feels good up front as you're deploying that more quickly than you would if you had to string it all together yourself, but in the long run, you're going to suffer from the vendor lock and you described, you're going to suffer from lack of pricing flexibility and leverage. I think there's also a kind of a less subtle impact there and that's around innovation. If you think about what drives innovation today, it's the ability for any vendor to come to the table at any place in the stack and deliver something that's innovative or differentiating. It's unlikely that any one vendor, even the big guys, will be able to innovate at every layer in the stack. So locking up that entire stack under one vendor's brand, I think, can harm innovation. It's better to leave that open the way VSpecs does and give vendors the opportunity to integrate and innovate at any point in the stack. Yeah, that's a trade-off. Stu Miniman talks about this a lot in terms of a lot of customers are on different cycles. They buy the storage or the lease it sometimes on a three-year cycle and they've got their servers on a different cycle and networking maybe on a different cycle. You've seen that as well. Absolutely. So something like this will allow you to maybe, okay, I'll take this piece now and I can bring these pieces then and maybe give me some time to sync it up, learn about the technology and then start rolling it out. It's a great point because refresh cycles don't come in a kind of, I'm gonna refresh my entire infrastructure top to bottom. You typically get a refresh portions of the infrastructure. It might be the network, it might be the storage and I think again of VSpecs like offering gives the customer the flexibility to go change out a component or a layer in that stack without having to change out the whole stack. So what else is changing here? I mean, we've gone over the years, we've talked a lot about fiber channel over at Ethernet as a form of convergence. You guys are big in the fiber channel space. What are you seeing there and what's changing in your? Well actually Intel brought up this point. We were talking about, we've always been talking about fiber channels the systems component and Intel, Jim was not talking about the systems concept and the data center obviously is now a system and I wrote a post called operating system but I mean you can look at it as an operating system but at the end of the day, customers have to make it work in a coherent system. So that's kind of we were getting this notion of hey, you know, there's spots for tech that by itself may look old but they perform well in the scheme of the new operating system. So with that, with fiber channel for example, what scope of new architectures are out there that you see kind of a changing of the perception and the reality of what's viable in the data center? Well I guess, you know, it just may be tied into fiber channel. I would say there's a number of emerging technologies that I think are quite favorable to the continued deployment of fiber channel and you take flash storage for example. You know, customers or companies putting flash storage into arrays means the storage network must perform to a level that ensures that the network doesn't become a bottleneck and essentially new to the value of the flash portion of the array. Fiber channel is perfectly suited for that, right? We've just released just about a half a year ago our latest generation fiber channel technology, 16 gig technology that ups the ante in terms of bandwidth, ups the ante in terms of latency and IO performance. So as customers deploying these emerging technologies like SSD, you need a network that's gonna keep pace otherwise it becomes a bottleneck. Yeah, so David Fleur has written a lot about this, our CTO at Wikibon about the whole IO architecture changing and Jim Blakely from Intel also talked about it. We're seeing new applications really take advantage of this structure. You're certainly seeing it from the big guys like Google and Facebook and the like. Are you starting to see in the enterprise yet? I think we're seeing some of that in the enterprise. I mean, the number of customers that can go out kind of build their own and roll their own architecture and their own componentry is pretty small. You have to be a very big enterprise with a lot of resources to go do that. So I think it's still a limited number of companies that are doing this kind of thing, but clearly the move to some form of private cloud architecture has really taken hold. I think all of the hype is dissipated and people are seeing some real value there. And that's where we think we've got network infrastructure in the form of ethernet fabrics and in the form of continued investment fiber channel that's very well suited for those private cloud architectures. Yeah, so you've got your Brocade has its feet in both camps with the acquisition of Foundry. I mean, you're clearly now playing in the IP network space. How's that all shaking out? Talk about that a little bit. It's terrific because what we've done with ethernet fabrics in particular is we've taken the best of the technology from the fiber channel space, not being very specific here around both ASIC technology and software technology, combined it with new emerging standards in Ethernet, some of which we got with the Foundry acquisition, things like trills, replacement for spanning tree and data center bridging for lossless Ethernet, combine those two things into this new technology, this new architecture we're calling ethernet fabrics.   You know, at the same time, the world's going to ethernet. So, and FCOE plays into that, but there's an interesting schism going on in the marketplace yet at the same time we talked about the top of this interview. Fiber channel recently has popped up, why? Why is that? Well, I think the hype around FCOE has largely dissipated along with the value, and that is there's just not a lot of companies who are interested in kind of disrupting the core of their data center environments, the core of fiber channel sands to take the chance on a technology like FCOE. So while we invested very heavily in FCOE technology, we continued to be, you know, a proponent, the reality is there's not a lot of adoption, there's almost no adoption of FCOE end to end. There's some adoption from the server to the first top of the network at the top of RAC, but the reality is fiber channel works. It's reliable, it's highly performant, it's low overhead in terms of managing those networks, and so there's not a lot of reason to displace it, and customers continue to invest. You talk to customers, they don't want to make change. Sure. They just don't, but at some point, isn't it inevitable? I mean, just the cable bulk just gets too big, right? Yeah, I mean, if you look at the studies that have been done around the potential cost savings of converging from two physical networks to one physical network, it's quickly overrun by the operational complexity you get by running all that traffic on a single infrastructure. And again, most customers, especially large customers who invested in fiber channel historically, are very, very resistant to the notion of tampering with and taking undue risk in that part of the network. I don't touch my sand. Yeah, exactly.  How does the EMC now, this new program that they're running with just their channel, their investment's pretty high, and Jeremy was on talking about the vision, and it's pretty solid in listening to the channel, which if you don't listen to the channel, it'll burn you, because they want to make money as I always say, Dave always points out. The channel wants to make money. So how are you guys driving that through with EMC in terms of getting the mind share of the channel? Because channel's about money, but to get there, them to make you money and them money, you gotta get their mind share. Sure. So what are you guys doing to get the mind share of the channel partners and the solution? Sure, well, first of all, I think from a brocade point of view, participating in these kinds of initiatives and these kinds of solutions gives us a lot of credibility and good tailwind as a result of some of the partnerships that we're bringing as part of all this. But obviously you have to put some more money in the channel partners pocket. You have to have programs, you have to have incentives, you have to have a reason for them to want to go there. Again, I think this particular offer feeds the appetite for channel partners to reinvest in their opportunity to consult to the customer and not just sell them a fully integrated SKU like you might get with some of these fully converged infrastructures. So I think there's a great opportunity to bring channel partners back into the fold and give them that service, that consult of opportunity and participate in that part of the space. Excellent, Jason, well listen, thanks very much for coming inside the CUBE, sharing your perspectives about brocade and converged infrastructure. We'll see you around the shows, I'm sure. You'll see we're all to do it again. I'll be there. We'll have the CUBE there as well. We had Mr. Claco on there last year. He seemed to enjoy it, so we'd love to have him back. Fantastic. All right, thanks guys. Thanks, okay, we'll be right back with our next interview after this short break. And finally, let's go out to Utah where EMC's newest state of the art global technical support center officially opened last month. The ceremony was attended by EMC president and COO for computing infrastructure and cloud services, Howard Elias and Utah governor, Gary Herbert. The 25,000 square foot center will serve federal agencies and companies desiring US based services as well as central and South American companies requiring Spanish and Portuguese language support for their information technology needs. The facility has been operating since December and expects to employ about 500 people with high tech and customer service skills from Utah's skilled IT workforce by the year 2015. Thank you so much for being here. I can't tell you how excited I am about today's events. It's, you know, a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate the opening of our newest technology support center. Maybe it's the pioneer spirit of Utah. You know, we know how to work hard and put in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. And our production is really a very good for our labor force. We are in fact high tech savvy. I'm Conor Lomalfa. I'm a level one technical support engineer with the Clarion team. I like the satisfaction of helping someone whether it be fixing something that's broken or, you know, helping them solve an issue which is their new trouble with. I enjoy helping the customer. By locating our newest customer support center here in Draper City, EMC is demonstrating not only our commitment to world-class customer support, but also to creating good jobs and strong career opportunities here in the United States, enabled by our growth worldwide. My name is Gavin Heenend. I'm the technical support manager currently managing the symmetric support team here in Utah. You know, when they announced the technical support center opening up in Utah, I immediately thought of the opportunities for both myself from a clear perspective and also the opportunities for my family and thought it would be exciting for them and also to get involved at the very early stages of the start of the technical support center. I thought it would be really exciting. The skilled workforce and favorable business climate, which cause location and linguistic capabilities, allow EMC to better support the unique requirements of our customers of all stripes from the U.S. federal government, our growing base of customers here in the U.S., throughout the Americas, and across the globe. My name is Emerson Sena. I work as a technical support engineer too here at EMC on a product called Clarion. As I'm a Brazilian, I speak Portuguese in my first language and Utah is the main center for multilingual support. So I never thought I would have an opportunity to speak Portuguese living in America, and that has been great for me. EMC also intends to be an active participant in Utah's business community and to help provide students of all ages in Utah with valuable career skills that are in demand in today's high-tech economy. To this end, our Academic Alliance works with more than 750 colleges and universities worldwide, including here in Utah, to prepare students for information technology-based professional roles that didn't even exist a few years ago, roles such as a cloud architect and a data scientist. So I congratulate you all for the work that's being done, for the results you're providing for us, for the future optimism that you bring. You are the example of that hope that we all have here in living the American dream and we're doing it here in Utah.


Hey welcome to my lunch hour stand the energy man here we're gonna be talking hydrogen one of my favorite subjects and in the background my guests and I have bicycled all the way out to Makapu point and we got the lighthouse in the background unfortunately the surf is in freeze mode so yeah sorry we can't do much about that but it's a beautiful day at Makapu and I hope you get out there and enjoy some of the surf getting generated by that big easterly hurricane we got churning out there but speaking of energy I just took some folks from the legislature and from deep and out to our Hickam installation and looked at our hydrogen station out there and talked about the future of hydrogen and the Air Force and really that's what I get to do for a living I get to do hydrogen projects for the Air Force and then share everything that I learned doing that with the folks here that are interested in hydrogen at Blue Planet at Energy Accelerator and State Energy Office and in the private sector so there's a lot of great exciting things happening this year in hydrogen some of them are not at liberty to expose just yet because it's private sector stuff going on but there's a lot of great things going on and one of those great things is my guest today Chris McWinnie from Millennium Rain he's in the heart of what we would call hydrogen fuel cell country in Ohio and Dayton Ohio there if you've never been to that part of the world I think everything fuel cell and hydrogen originates and date in or about Dayton Ohio and University of Ohio and all the folks over there so Chris welcome to the show thank you thanks for traveling all the way over here to Hawaii to be on the show with us thanks for having us and I know you you like to come over here and work and we've got a couple projects on the big island that you're involved in but tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into doing what you do and start in your own company yeah with Millennium Rain well we started in in 2003 I submitted a patent called residential hydrogen power plant and started developing it in the garage and main component was going to be a an electrolyzer which takes water and electricity and splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen and capture the oxygen to capture the hydrogen and relieve the oxygen into the atmosphere and we developed several different models over a period of time in the garage and until we finally got to where we found one that was really rather efficient at using less electricity than normal to split the oxygen and hydrogen out of the water and then after we found a stack that was good we started to build the other balance of plan around it to be able to capture the hydrogen and purify the hydrogen and compress it and store it and dispense it and basically our business strategy started out to be able to develop a system that would be able to allow for a person to store or bottle the wind in the sun for later when there is no wind and sun and be able to be completely energy independent and off the grid by using hydrogen as a storage medium for renewable energy and since hydrogen replaces and can't replace gasoline diesel fuel propane natural gas and can store electricity it is literally a medium that you can use to replace everything that we're doing in energy now was something that's sustainable green and and renewable so because of that you know that took us down the road of developing a product set where now we have 21 different products that we have that are commercially ready to go to market with and to provide scalable hydrogen fueling systems and scalable storage hydrogen storage systems from as little as one kilogram a day production all the way up to 500 kilograms a day production I was gonna ask if you've kind of expanded to the high end of production then I know you talked about residential is where you started and and that's really been one of my pushes not only here but when I when I visit with people on the mainland and Department of Energy it's like everybody's focusing on megawatt scale production but really there's a I think there's a huge market for residential scale and rather than just focusing on one maybe we ought to focus on both and so your equipment fits really well and scales really well to the residential community could you give us a hypothetical model of how your system would fit into a household single-family house yeah well we like to say that the the starting point is you must have an origin of energy if you want to be off-grid and energy independent so you have to have either wind or solar or geothermal or or hydroelectric of some type of generating a renewable source of ongoing sustainable electricity once you have that in place then you need to have a set of good quality batteries so that you can have a storage medium that has very quick amperage that can handle the loads of a big freezer turning on and off or you know the oven turning on and off or the heavy loads of a home or small business and but then you don't want to do it all you don't want to do all your storage and batteries because the batteries fill up really quickly you know in a couple hours or batteries are recharged every day but you had to size your renewable energy system so that you could take care of the loads during the day and charge the batteries so once the batteries are charged the electricity that was being generated by the renewable energy system has no place to go so that's where the hydrogen yeah and it just sits there and and so that's where the hydrogen generator creates a load bank and then you can actually store that excess energy now and you now have a backup to your battery system and the storage for hydrogen is much cheaper than storage for batteries you bring us a really important points here I'm constantly bombarded by people that say but batteries are more efficient but I think they only look at energy and in energy out right and they don't really take into account the cost of the storage the long-term effect of environmental issues with battery production correct and actually making them yeah the actual limitation lithium is a limited resource right and we don't produce hardly any of it in this country so we import all the lithium so why would we go from importing fossil fuel to importing lithium as a solution right I mean there's a whole lot of pieces there and people don't put in the formula yeah but batteries play an important role important role got to have them got to have them and if and you know and on the other side of the question a lot of the battery folks you know they they they they're not positive on hydrogen right hydrogen people are positive on batteries because we see the whole picture and how it works and and how it's they're all needed so it's it's important to have it all yeah okay so let's throw up some of the pictures of things that we've done with you and been with you this is actually in Dayton Ohio at Chris's facilities he actually has a huge facility there that used to be an auto dealership and is perfectly suited for his research and his production of his equipment and in the background are some of the folks that I work with from the Air Force Research Lab going on a tour of Chris's facility so what's that equipment on the left there Chris that is our 330 triple twin model it is a model that we actually designed for a blue planet on the big island here in Hawaii and that unit there was slated to go to Aruba and so it's now been sent to Aruba okay what's the next photo we got coming up here so this is Chris with another unit and what is this unit well in 2000 and we'll see a bit of 2012 about October we built the world's first hydrogen fueling station that's all in one in a box in a box so on a seven foot wide by four foot wide seven foot by four platform seven foot tall we've got your hydrogen generator which is the green square thing down there and then we've got the your controls cabinet your hydrogen purification system above my arm there is is the compressor and then to the right is a door that opens that is a dispenser so everything that you need to have fuel for a vehicle is all in one package here and it was the first first of its kind anywhere in the world so this is essentially a miniature like homeowner version of a hydrogen station if you happen to be independently wealthy and could afford to spend 50 or 60 or 70 or 100 grand right on a piece of equipment right but this was the first one of the first then yep this was the first okay ever yeah all right so this is kind of where you cut your teeth on on scalability right what's the next photo we have coming up okay so this is this looks very similar to what we just looked at yeah is this is on the big island yep this is blue planet in Poova on the big island and Paul Pontio up there has been on the show several times this is his unit and if you see the little handle on the right that's what Chris says you open up and it's got the hydrogen dispenser so this is really kind of like your oil field your oil pipeline your ship to move the energy your refinery and everything and the and the tanker truck that brings your fuel to your gas station in a box that fits on a 7 by 4 foot pallet that's it and so how elegant of a solution can you have like I explained to my my guests at Hickam today when you're in the production and manufacturing mode every time you have to move something it's wasted energy and it's added cost for no value if you can make the product where you use it absolutely save a huge amount so when you start doing a business model you have to take that into account to you're actually using this equipment to make the energy store it and dispense it to your vehicles in one spot right transportation right okay what's the next photo we got there Zuri this is also on the big island is that that same equipment that we saw in your factory yeah that was that was the same model it's a different electrolyzer but you know we made them we make them the same way every time but yeah this was the first one that they got so in Blue Planet got the very first 330 triple twin model we are make this is six stacks it makes 12 kilograms a day of hydrogen production those gray things to the left of the screen there are actually purifiers as an early model of a purification system that we have had back then so this was installed in 2000 and 13 the summer of 2013 and we've since it ran there for two years and it was still running great when we replaced it but we made 63 improvements over that model from 2013 so we sent them a new the newest upgraded model and they now have a newer later model now yes so Hawaii's actually been a really great testbed for your absolutely I mean I tell you what the people of Hawaii have been so open to this and and and so great at helping us you know it's so important for a company like ours to have good feedback from people because you know we don't profess to be perfect you know we know that things are gonna we don't know what we don't know and it really any company that does that you know a new pioneering thing has no choice but to put it out there once you get to a certain level and but just explain openly to people hey you know we need you to tell us if you don't like this or you want it to do this instead of that and it'd be great if it did this someday and we need those ideas and that feedback and Boy Blue Planet has just really been excellent opportunity for us it was a real blessing yeah it's funny to look back at that picture number on the guy on the right is Richard Ha farmer on the big end with a good-looking legs looking at the rest of the tour but in that space if you went to Blue Planet right now you'd see all the blue lithium yeah it's all different batteries all been changed everything's and the electrolyzers now outside yeah it's out another building now and all that happened in like three short yeah real short time yeah so this for me this is a flashback to to where we've come from three years ago yeah and how much progress hydrogen is made here in Hawaii yeah there is there is so much going on and just so much exciting stuff happening and I'm glad that you're you're a big part of it with the planet yeah we feel excited we feel real blessed to be with people like you guys and and Paul and we've just met so many really good people here you know the spirit is right here and in all of the state of Hawaii and the people really need this type of technology in a big way because it is truly one of the ways one of the for sure ways that the whole state can become energy independent and rely on itself only for its energy needs yeah the folks in Hawaii culturally this is a big deal for them they have a great respect for the land the water the air and the traditions that that they don't want spoiled right and this is a great answer right well speaking of which we've got some more exciting things happening right after the break so don't go away join us back with Chris McWinnie in a few seconds hi I'm Ethan Allen host of likeable science here on think tech Hawaii calm I hope you'll join me every Friday at 2 p.m. to discover what's likeable about science hi I'm Ray Starling and I am co-host for Hawaii's Wednesday afternoon state of clean energy and with me today is Leslie Cole Brooks and she's gonna tell you what's happening this month with our shows hi everybody I'm Leslie Cole Brooks the executive director of the Distributed Energy Resources Council and this month is the focus is on distributed energy resources we just had a great show on smart grid technologies and the rest of the month we're going to discuss storage different strategies micro grids and then we're gonna have live man and woman on the street from verge so it's really exciting very informative lively and just worth doing so see you next Wednesday hi hey welcome back to stand the energy man with Chris McWinnie from Millennium Rain and I don't care how many times I type in my computer I have to look at his business card because I cannot spell Millennium or rain it's not REI and it's REIG something anyway my spell checker goes over time with me on Millennium Rain but thanks for being here again Chris and what are some of the other projects that you're doing out in the world maybe we can bring some of the photos up that you that you pulled up for sure yeah talk about what's going on and where we're doing things in other parts of the world well right here was a pretty wild expedition for us we installed a one of our 330 triple twins with twin compressors on it this unit does 12 kilograms a day and compresses it at 6000 psi and then here it is being unloaded in Dubai at you can see the little sign back there on the on the trolley depot says the Dubai trolley and so I think in the next picture it actually shows a picture of the station and the trolley car that there's a picture of the station in the background there you can see the tallest building in the world that's the Burj Khalifa and there's our station sitting right in front of it and that was a real triumph for us to be able to do that and so they have 18 kilograms of storage and that hydrogen generator that you saw us unloading there that actually went down in the basement of that building and we had to lower that through a pit a hole to lower it down in it was quite an extraordinary installation it was 104 degrees it didn't have their air conditioning going and it was really something but and we just recently got back from there a couple weeks ago and so the next I don't know what's next on the thing although this is a trolley this is a trolley that it actually runs that runs on hydrogen so they have a fuel cell in the in there and they have a set of lithium ion batteries that run that's the trolley and they use the fuel cell as a range extender so that they can run this thing for 16 hours and there's about a four or five mile track that goes from the Burj Khalifa over around to the tallest to the to the largest mall in the world and people can get off and different sites along the way and and there's actually going to be two cars so this is a vintage we have a partnership with a company in in California called tig modern street railways and they manufacture these cars right there and we also have a system going to aruba to do the same thing so they're kind of a retro design but they're yeah a new technology yeah he's actually got a real sleek looking brand new one that looks like a really fast bullet train and that one's going in cutter and so yeah he's got he can make him any way how big of a fuel cell do they have in there do you know yeah it's a it's a 17 kilowatt fuel cell team that's that's not really huge mm-hmm we have 30 watts in our trucks and stuff that mm-hmm and then US hybrid just rolled out a hundred fifty kilowatts that they could use in a train oh really well I'm trying to see if the city wants to venture into hydrogen fuel so yeah the light rail were to put in here yeah so this this picture here was we see our fueling station they're all in one fueling station we shipped it to New Jersey for the grand opening of the world's first commercially produced solar hydrogen home and this there's a solar field off off camera here that you can't see but this lady purchased this and one of our partners Mike Strisky who you've had on your show before he has he he he built this home and Toyota brought out their Mariah and we brought our station and as far as I can tell this is the first time ever in the history of the planet that all of the things for a hydrogen world were at one place at one time you had your home that was hydrogen solar hydrogen you had your car that ran on hydrogen you had your fueling station that made the hydrogen and dispensed it all there at one place at one time and so and it all came off of sunlight so all photo attacks yep yep that's why they call it solar hydrogen that's right clean no carbon no carbon footprint in this property all because when you make your hydrogen from electricity using electrolysis it's zero carbon if you make your electricity off of sunlight or other renewables like wind there's zero carbon when you burn it in the fuel cell you're actually not burning it when you when you combine it in the fuel cell you make water only and it's zero carbon so when you start dealing with hydrogen as a system it's can be done completely clean right it's zero carbon all the way from beginning to end all your all your kicking out the exhaust in that car is water vapor that's it and you can even put a small fuel cell in your house yep if your car's not there right and some batteries yep and you're off the grid yep so you're pretty familiar with with blue planets done on the big one let's talk about their they're off the well that's exactly what they've got they've got they've got a ranch that's now on 32 or 35 acres and they've got the equivalent of 10 homes in between buildings different buildings and and they they clipped the cord from the power company completely and for three years now they've never been without power and they're all they're a point of war the origin of energy is an 85 kilowatt solar array and they're able to collect enough energy and divert it to either batteries or hydrogen and and then they've built their own logic platform to monitor and and and to turn things on and off at the right time to balance that energy and provide the energy that it needs for that entire ranch and they're completely off grid and energy independent and their solar hydrogen and batteries working together and they're not actually in an ideal place for solar I don't know they're in a microclimate they have they're right up against a big poo and and they only get three to four hours a day of really good sun I mean by 1 30 usually two o'clock every day at the ranch it's starting to get overcast yeah so they're they're able with that 85 kilowatts to charge the batteries that they spent overnight because they do have the lithium iron batteries they recharge those by late morning maybe even by 10 o'clock or so if it's been real setting and after that it's all extra hydrogen so they make I mean all extra electricity so they make hydrogen yep and stored at low pressure low pressure yeah and high pressure they've got a combination but they're able to use propane tanks to store at low volume you know high volume low pressure and then then they can compress from those up to where they could fuel a vehicle or forklift or anything like that that has a fuel cell in it okay I have 26 kilograms total of fuel of storage on site yeah and what else we have for photos there's very well this is this is blue speaking of blue planet this is their upgraded system so the other ones that had the green cells in it and then this has the new purification system there to the left so this is their new and this is our injection molded cells and what we've been working on now once we got the stacks working then it was time to try to see what we what could we do to get the cost down and so we spent about $130,000 on building an injection mold and we're now still trying to figure out the right chemistries but this is our first injection molded cell stack set of six stacks and it's now been running for a little over a year now and so this is that blue planet this replaced the first one that you saw earlier so as a rule of thumb we kind of use 65 kilowatt hours for a kilogram of hydrogen as you know our wag of how much electricity it costs to make a kilogram so with your system what's what's the normal for well if you're talking about from the beginning of making it all the way through to compressing it and purifying it and storing it and dispensing it the entire package on ours runs about 60 kilowatt hours per kilogram okay so it's really close how about cost of actually manufacturing the equipment well our cost is you know I haven't you know I've had a lot of people send me other people's you know this is what they're saying they're charging us and and was typically come in between one third and fifty percent of the cost of any other provider out there there's multiple reasons for that you know we we have no debt as a company we own our facility that we produce the stuff out of debt-free as well we have we were in Dayton Ohio you can buy $135,000 for $135,000 you can buy a three-bedroom two-bathroom ranch style house so it's you know standard of living is very cost-effective there so people don't have to make a lot of money per hour so labor costs are low but we're not but we're treating our people right you know at the same time and and then you take the fact that you know the six or eight million dollars that we spent over the last you know 13 years developing this product that was research and development we're not asking for that money back we're saying that's in the past forget about it so we're a lot of companies try to you know incorporate their research and development costs into their cost of goods sold so that they can get a recovery on that we're not doing that so all of these things and then on our cost of our product we're using a alkaline based electrolyzer and that is costing it to be much much cheaper than a company that's using a proton exchange that use platinum on the screen right now is our latest system in Sonoma California this is a two enclosure system and it's got the hydrogen generator in the side of the first one and then the little enclosure over to the right is the we're a 24 kilogram storage system that also has a dispenser in it yeah and we have one more photo I think yeah there you go this is one of our smaller models for somebody's home and it's a hydrogen generator only this is just a one kilogram a day unit okay so where do you see the market going I mean do you really see a good market for the home system I do but I think that the cars and the material handling and the energy independent island nations and the things like the street cars and buses and and telecom to use hydrogen to make for telecoms those those will create a volume where the costs can come down through economies of scale and that'll eventually everyone will be able to afford to have their own hydrogen system and be off the grid and energy independent and then the power is fed back to the grid the excess power and so we're diversifying our grid and it really helps us from a security standpoint as a nation great yeah so when you know we in Hawaii I have a relatively easy challenge of providing transportation infrastructure with hydrogen because if I put four or five stations in downtown Honolulu area proper we're good for a few more maybe ten years I mean by the time the market catches up but on the mainland you know there's some serious challenges California spends a lot of money government money subsidizing new stations but if you're the only state that's doing it yeah how do you connect to Nevada and well we have a plan for that and we're talking to some very very well-known companies about putting a thousand stations across the United States 20 in every state the next five years and building a hydrogen fueling network starting with small stations and then being able to have scalable stations that you take that one output in the next size as more cars come in and then the next size as more cars come in and then actually being able to end up backfilling those stations with hydrogen made from large-scale megawatt scale wind and solar fields and and truck it into those locations but was as the as those things develop those plans develop we'll want to have you back and let you okay more but I wanted to save a few seconds to throw up the last photo we have and it's really the reason you're here in Hawaii today and that's to to help us put in our our first outside the military fence line in Honolulu the very first hydrogen station we're gonna have in Honolulu so this is what Chris is here for it was delivered yesterday we pulled it out of the container so I got to live that dropping the equipment down with a hundred foot shaft in Dubai experience trying to get this equipment out of a container with one inch of space on either side and Chris and Chris and I are actually wiring it up and hooking it up today and we hope to be making some hydrogen by the end of the day right in downtown Honolulu and the equipment primarily is going to help my my team service the and do maintenance on vehicles that we're working on but I'm hoping that maybe we can have some folks drive by and maybe pick up some hydrogen with that H cap so Chris yeah thanks for coming out and thanks especially for delivering that station and you're welcome to help us set it up and we're gonna be excited to hear from from you in another couple months when more things can be let out of the bag as we say and yeah and you can talk about some more things that are happening in the industry yeah well thank you so much for having trust and faith in us and you know we'll do our best to maintain one of those pieces of equipment's going out the hiccups right we got another one to do next right okay well thanks Chris thank you we'll have you back in a couple months all right thanks for joining us here and stand energy man at think tech Hawaii and we'll see you on my lunch hour next Friday


Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and honestly, I'm a little bit sad today because my mom told me I have to clean today. So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play some cleaning games. That way, I still do what she demands, but I don't actually accomplish anything. I don't know if this logic makes sense. Anyway, a new game. Nice quirk about this game, Street Cleaning Simulator 2011. The text is cut off, but you can't change the resolution or the game crashes. It's something about checking the office. Let's check that office. Look how happy is this first day on the job. I think they tried to rip off my character idea with default. As mayor for Saberhaus and I'm pleased that you've taken on the job of keeping your town clean. Best regards, the mayor. Does the mayor have a name? I think this might be a scam. Go to the vehicle. It is inside the large building opposite the office. This one. Can I run? Okay, good. I can. He just takes a little bit to react. Press page up to engage the forward gear. Okay, now popper in reverse. How do I actually go? These are very confusing controls. I'm trying to signal for help. Turn on the left indicator by pressing the comma key.  And the number pad to use the brush. Oh my God. This is so much information. Press the T key to use the moisture and then seven and eight to move it. Oh my God. How am I supposed to do this? Oh, we can get a little camera on there to get some close-up action. Okay, let me just figure out the combination. Okay, so page up twice. T. Yeah. Four. And then up arrow. Okay, you've got that. How the hell did I actually remember all that? Is it clean? How do I change my camera again? Why a W, of course. I think I'm best in this in this camera. Why am I not going forward? Okay, hold on. I can figure this out. I can't move and I know these controls off by a heart. Is it, is the game like making me use the water spray before I can do anything else? Is that what it is? How do you use the water spray and I know these controls off by a heart? I figured out the horn button. That's great. How do I stop the water? I don't think I can move when it's on. Learn to use your machine. I'm trying. Oh no, it's so loud. I've got the hazards on because I'm in a hazard. I'm stuck in this vehicle and I can't get out. Oh, oh, I'm moving. I can't see where I'm moving, but I'm moving. I'm W. Scroll. Yes. Okay, I'm going out onto the streets to clean up the city. I know it's early and everyone's probably asleep by the looks of things, but don't worry. It's whisper quiet. Oh, he's got a bit of a stain on his shirt. Let me clean him. Oh, yeah, he's cleaned. Where is he? God, how many was a magician? He just disappeared. Sorry, no time to stop for red lights. There's an emergency downtown. Someone got sick all over the pavement. Come on, hurry up.  Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't take it personally, kid. I'm just faster than you. I don't know where I've gone, by the way. I am definitely outside my jurisdiction. If I get caught cleaning this area, I'm in big trouble. This is owned by a rival street cleaning gang. Sorry, sorry. They'll never catch me despite the fact I have a trail running behind me for miles. Why is this map so big? I've been driving for like 10 minutes. Oh my God, it's just a massive loop and then it goes back to the city. I thought I was going somewhere new. Sorry, your car is dirty. Your car is dirty. I'm cleaning it. It's a favor. I can't, I cannot fix the camera. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have tried to. Oh, heck in hell, that is one clean car. I'll see you around.   It'll be faster. Trust me. I'm a street cleaner. If there's one thing I know it's the streets. Oh, this water looks kind of dirty. I might give this a clean too. Oh yeah, nice and clean. How is it still driving? It does not care. The hazard lights still on and everything just for the fish, you know? I love it. Understand this game. And somehow it actually was a lot faster to come this way. I'm back in the town. Oh, I'm stuck. I can't move at all. I've gotten my brush stuck on this fence when I was trying to knock down someone. All right, you know what? I might call it a day on that one. You gotta get home to the wife or whatever I did. Dude, please flee. I can't get out. All right, fine, quit. You're on your own now chief. You really wanna exit the game. Any progress not saved will be lost. Yes, please lose all that progress. Okay, this game jumped out at me right away because I am a serial killer. Oh, serial cleaner. Oh, all right, I'll play it anyway. All right, this should be a breeze. Avoid the guards, grab the evidence, carry the body to the car. Ah, ah, ah, ah, what do I do? I've got the body, do I hide in this box? Run, I don't know if I can go this way. No, I can't, it's a dead end. Ah, ah, he can run faster than me. Oh no, I just ran into the same feckin' room as him. All right, in you go and off I go. Let's get out of here. Time for a quick getaway.  All right, I'm home. Don't tell me I have to clean here too. Oh, I live with my mom and she's making pancakes. Oh, I hope that's another job. I love the way he runs around his house. His arms are like this. No more TV for you, mom. Wait, where's my car go? Ah, it's out front. It's one of them self-driving cars. He drove around the front for me. Oh my god, why is this so busy? Just immediately ran in there and grabbed the body. I just loaded into my trunk out front. Oh no, oh no, I've been caught at it. All right, all right, start again, this is fine. Oh, fuck, they moved the bodies. It seems very unprofessional. Just take, I'm outside your jurisdiction. You can't get me in my car. It just ran out of the car. He doesn't even look in the car and see there's like three bodies in there. I can't find the last body. I don't know where it is. I found someone's brain by the looks of it. You should always wear a helmet while riding a bicycle. Oh, you can hide in a box. I didn't know you could do that. Ah, this guy's out here. I see, he died in an unrelated hopscotch tragedy. Fifth one this week. When will people realize it's a fool's game? Adrenaline junkies. Oh, I have a vacuum? Sorry, I missed your call. I was vacuuming the lawn. Oh, let me vacuum my way to the phone. He said there's gonna be a lot of blood and my equip for that. And lucky for him, I just learned how to use a vacuum. I'll just vacuum up all the blood. Do we go? How can he not hear this? It's just streaks. Oh, Becky caught me. Dude, I'm just out here doing vacuuming. I'm quirky like that. Is that a squirrel? How big is he? I think he did the murders. No, no, no, no, no, you can have him back. I don't care, I'm just here vacuuming. Ignore me. Oh, I love cleaning.  Cause I can clean you too. All right, I'm just here to have a good time. You guys get back to work. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, it's. All right, I got away. Oh, no, I didn't get away. Oh, sweet Jesus. They're so fast. But I am so clever. I'm doing you guys a favor. Like you'd have to clean up later anyway. Come on, 59%. What is the point in vacuuming up this blood? Like there's still so much. Look at all that. That squirrel really had a personal vendetta against them, didn't he? All right, I'm home. Oh my God. I hope mom made pancakes cause that was stressful. Oh, the deadly telegraph is this newspaper's name. Look, it's destroyed. At least I could kind of explain myself a bit more if I'm vacuuming the office. It's just like, oh, I'm just the cleaner. I didn't realize this was blood. Whereas before I was just vacuuming a forest. I'm just throwing them out the window. Oh my God. I just skidded along the blood. Oh, I think I might be screwed. How high is this desk that he cannot see me? Okay. All right, I'm done. That's it. I was playing hardcore mode. I forgot to mention that I got caught and that's the end of it. He died. Cops always trying to ruin my fun. I'm just trying to vacuum. That's it. All right, we're on to viscera cleanup detail. No cops in sight. Just a man and his mop. Oh, I can play split screen co-op. Yes. Zero gravity. That seems good. Time limit, five minutes. I don't plan on doing a good job. I plan on doing a quick job. Wait, where's my split screen co-op partner? There must be some mistake. Kick the player. Can I kick myself? I don't understand. I have my two controllers. I can play split screen on myself. It's the most disappointed I've ever been.  If I actually accomplished that. Now I don't have any friends to play with but I figured why not play some board games by myself? I think I'm getting this place more messy than I started. Where's my mop? No, I have my mop. I mean, where's my bucket? Just janitor looking for a bucket. Aha. You know, I can't mop out bullet holes. I think no matter how good I clean this, there might be a suspicion that something went down here. Ah, there's robots. Just blame it on them. Oh, Jesus. What happened here? Could you not bleed all over my clean floor? Oh, God damn. Now I'm tracking blood footprints. Okay, I may as well have a bucket of blood at this point. Can I, can I put you in the... Don't want to clean anymore. One more shot in here. I thought I needed the old bucket. That's a good mopping arm you got there. Just treating it as a baseball bat. Who is tracking in, fecking blood footprints? It's not me. I have done nothing wrong. You come with me. You're getting fed to shark now. Can I do anything with the bodies or are they just staying out? Cause I mean, that kind of is a sign that something went down here too. Oh, that's someone's arm. For feck's sake. I know when I was trying to play co-op earlier, I was looking for a hand, but this is not what I meant. Wait, I think I just, all my timer ran out, didn't I? I had five minutes to clean. I got fired. No surprise there.  That does sound like me. Also, I've jammed this door unintentionally, and I don't know how to get past it now. So I guess that rooms off limits for now. I'm done. I quit, even though you already fired me, but I quit. All right, that was some good cleaning. Oh God, finally. I did something my mom asked me to do, and this feels good. It only took 26 years. I'm still proud of myself. I hope you enjoyed it. I know I did. I enjoyed this bit of cleaning, even though my house is still in the state and I've got a lot of cleaning to do. In real life, I think I get a pass for doing this. If you want to see more of me, I post every single day. I don't always do cleaning content. Honestly, it's a rarity. But if you like cleaning content, maybe ask for some more and we could scrub some dishes or something. I also stream over on Twitch. I don't do any cleaning content over there, but still feel free to visit me. The link is in the description. And other than that, I'll just say, I hope I see you next time. Bye for now.


So I've got two examples. Back in 2017, I think Haringi, Haringi Council, don't even know how to pronounce that. Somewhere in England, I think. So they plan to set what's known as a joint venture vehicle, apparently, which is basically, as I understand it, a business arrangement between a number of parties. And it was with like some Australian multinational property developer. And like the first part of this plan would have included the transfer of North Thumblin Park housing estate, which is I think one of the largest in that council region along with like a bunch of smaller estates and individual housing properties over to this joint venture vehicle. And these would have been demolished and got replaced with like pretty much larger private housing with reduced tenancy protections for any remaining social housing tenants. So there's a broad opposition from like both members of the public and political parties and other local individuals in the community. But what this basically a campaign group formed around this and what they found was like lots of the council's assessment reports weren't publicly shared and only, or the only consultation that was held was like an informal survey at like a fun fair day or something like that, asking people whether they supported better quality housing. I mean, like of course, most people said yes, right? So that was their basis for like actually, making these decisions. So one of the contributions to the campaign was like the assessment of information released through existing FI requests and putting in a few new ones to fill some data gaps. They basically had a little team making these FI requests and keeping track of all the responses and actually like collated and summarized all this information and reports and use that as a basis of a legal challenge. One element that came up repeatedly and helped sway public opinion was the, they got information on the when meetings were held. So they got like diaries, that kind of thing, but there were no minutes, there were no records. So it kind of showed how like not transparent all this process was and led them to believe there was like a huge degree of secrecy at play. So another element revealed through FI in this case study was that the property developers were meeting not only with key council officials but other significant public bodies as well. And the meetings were especially consultative but the minutes showed them actually making important decisions as to how the places should be redeveloped. So no representatives or local residents of small, medium businesses had any equivalent access to the public authorities in this way with all the direct and indirect influence implied. So while councillors were like verbally assuring the community that social housing was being protected the reality of the paperwork showed commitment to like only 30 odd percent of affordable homes which is pretty different to what they were saying in public. I think they had like a 10,000 people waiting list. So this wasn't just like they had a big problem of social housing and were like publicly committing to social housing and yet these records showed otherwise and all that came out through FI. And then yeah, they also found like repeated examples of large amounts of public money being given to these developers. So again, like getting budgets from from FY and like, you know, balance sheet type information like that is all super helpful for building up this picture of like what is actually happening. And then they actually ended up taking this to court. They did lose the legal case but one element that was found in their favor was that the council had failed in their duty to consult and that had all been confirmed by FY request by the fact that they just didn't have any meeting minutes or like any meaningful evidence that they had done this consultation. So the campaign group said they basically never expected to win the whole campaign by the courts and any win would have only meant that they would be required to like amend the process. Like the law wouldn't have actually helped stop the plan but their main aim was to like actually delay the signing of the contact with this, you know, what I can't remember what it was called now, the big group thing anyway, long enough that new council elections would come about because what happened basically was that the new councillors having or the people running for election had heard about all this stuff and were like, no way, like that can't happen. So new councillors got voted in and they were more sympathetic to the cause and actually halted all this development. So, you know, this all took about like two long hard years but it's like a concrete example of how you can build this picture using, you know, transparency laws and data to like actually figure out what's happening on the inside. Final example of some really, really good journalism from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. They ran this sold from under you project which revealed how much publicly owned property had been sold off across England as a response to austerity measures. I think they discovered that like about 12,000 or more buildings and pieces of land had been disposed of across all the councils and bringing in revenue of like nine billion pounds, something like that. So this project basically pieced together like a huge nationwide data set and it ended up generating stories both nationally and, you know, in like local press as well. They actually use what they know, pro to collect all this information from like 700 FI requests to like 350 local councils and they had a group of like more than 150 people across the UK, including local journalists who took part in this collaborative investigation. And obviously this is like a huge scale, like a huge increase in scale and complexity to what you're doing. But the thing they did really, really well in this and I think, you know, a smaller group could replicate on a smaller scale was, they used all this data to like actually map out where all these properties were sold off.  But they also combined this with stories going back to what I was just saying about, you know, telling stories to your MPs. Like they went and interviewed people in the community who had been affected by these sell-offs. I think one of the examples was a gym being sold, which, you know, it's like made a real impact in one of the more deprived areas. And like this ended up creating loads of different stories. You know, I don't know exactly what changed after this per se, but I'm pretty sure it led to a couple of inquiries in a couple of local councils. But the way you use this transparency data can really add like weight behind individual stories. And I think the mix of the two is like one of the most important things, campaign groups like this should be looking at trying to do. So got a couple of like a bunch more case studies which we can send you around, you know, how people have used FYI. And hopefully that will be like inspiring to you in terms of like how you can figure out how to replicate what groups are doing with a different problem, but how you can use those ideas in the problem domain of temporary spaces. Got another bunch of case studies. So again, another one here is like looking at freedom of information and asbestos in schools, which I remember having like a really good result. And then we've got a couple of how-to guys as well, which we're trying to work more on, like how to just like actually use all this data that comes out of what they know. So I will take a breath and open to any questions that you may have and how I can help. Thank you, Gareth. That was super interesting. That was really good. There are a couple of...


I know a couple man that will theme for some skunk weed, so for less than a V, bruh. I can have your old crib looking like a ceiling to motion. Yo, what's good? Don't flop all fuckin' there.
