Hi, I'm Ali Gholshan, Senior Director of Software Engineering at Red Hat, previously CTO and co-founder at Stack Rocks. Today we're going to be talking a little bit about supply chain security and why recently it has become such a hot topic in cloud native technologies. One of the main things that we have seen is this change and shift in the attack landscape and attack surface from traditional exploitation and vulnerability exploitation at runtime towards the supply chain. And the reason for this is that very simple. It's the fact that on the supply chain side, there is a much more proliferated set of tools and solutions to use and there's truly no perimeter. Combined with the fact that there's less maturity around security tooling, dev teams need to continuously communicate with security teams, there's generally less controls around tools and products. And the main goal on the developing side, on the DevOps side, on the left side is really lowering friction, injecting velocity and as a result removing any blockers which has typically been associated with security has created this landscape where attacks are starting to grow substantially more. The other aspect of it is that traditional attribution is substantially more difficult to apply on the supply chain side. As a result, it reduces the risk of discovery and it can actually increase the attack surface as an attacker you can go after. This is also why it's very important and this is why at Red Hat, we believe it's very important for security to be built in versus bolted on for developer tools and as part of the supply chain. Now, what are some of the things that you have to consider and be able to make sure you take into consideration as part of your supply chain security? Well, one major question is where do my software components come from? Where am I getting my tools? Where am I getting all these particular images? Images in public registries can be potentially poisoned with unwanted application malware, backdoors or potentially components that are unuseful to you but could be very useful for attackers and for anybody trying to infiltrate your network. In some cases, these can be detected with static tool analysis and this is why it's very important to have static analysis as part of your system. However, introducing a lot of vanilla images and ensuring that there's a large touch point to your potentially infected images can also ensure that the deployment of these images increases and eventually they make them into the stream of the development. The other part of it is vulnerability management and configuration management as part of the supply chain in a declarative fashion is still a substantially unsolved problem. The volume of attacks is increasing dramatically suggesting that there's more and more organized infrastructure and some targeting of which companies introduce a higher level of tooling into other companies supply chains. Obviously this is an example that we recently saw with the SolarWinds attacks. Combined with the attribution we talked about and the problem that it presents on the supply chain poisoning the well can be a substantially more lucrative way to attack businesses versus actively engaging of exploitation of vulnerabilities at runtime. So when we talk about CVEs, even though this is an unsolved problem there is still a lot of gaps that we need to go and figure out. So we need to pay more attention to it. Understanding vulnerability packages and their dependencies. These typically create thousands of alerts and there's no good way to triage these. Understanding what are they actually relevant to? Which ones can be solved or upgraded? If they are upgraded, what can they break? Which ones are actually exposed to me in runtime? Are they allowing for permissive attack surface? Do I have proper configurations to be able to prevent them? And more importantly, which ones are actually being exploited into the wild so I can push that information back to my engineers, to my developers to reduce that time in resolving those particular problems. Now, typically one of the things that we have seen from supply chain attacks and general attacks on misconfigurations really the way we can solve these problems through a declarative fashion. The problems have centered around mostly for example, installing cryptocurrency miners or establishing a footprint for distributed denial of service attacks. But more recently, we have started to see a substantially more targeted approach for supply chain attacks. Again, being able to push yourself into a stream where because of all these layers and all these abstractions, you become embedded into images and tools and eventually become part of the existing stack which creates substantial problems. Now you combine this with additional problems like the fact that more and more we're using from a development and automation standpoint infrastructure as code templates. So whether we're using things like HashiCorp Terraform, AWS Cloud Formation Templates, Kubernetes App Manifest YAMLs, these are things developers use and DevOps teams use to be able to move faster. But at the same time, if we can essentially move more and more to the left and be able to do things as an example tools like for example, KubeLinter where we can actually fix misconfiguration and be able to identify some of these problems in configuration and supply chain issues before they're introduced into infrastructure at runtime, they present a much easier way to solve these things. The other reason why supply chain security is very important is understanding these deep dependencies several layers down and being able to understand what is good and what is bad. In a lot of the cases, the dependencies become a problem because sometimes you have maintainers that abandon them or sell them or you have in a case where bad actors take control of them and they somehow end up on a developer's machine. So to be able to understand and have good hygiene as part of your supply chain to be able to understand dependencies, these asset and then managing this inventory of assets and how they're getting introduced into your infrastructure is very critical. This is why we think it's very important not just to have security for build, deploy and run but it's very important to be able to tie all these stages together through a cohesive policy language where context can be shared and problems can be solved based on actual relevance and impact. One of the other types of more recent attacks we've seen on the supply chain is actually the notions of typosquadding which is we're starting to see a more rise towards. So as we talk more and more about infrastructure as code templates, it's very important to understand that if these misconfigurations are introduced into your infrastructure they substantially amplify the risk that goes into your runtime infrastructure. And in a lot of cases these become embedded in your infrastructure and very difficult to roll back. This is why you constantly now hear about this notion of shift left and why it's very important to do that. Now, we recognize at Red Hat that there is a very fine balance between velocity and flexibility for developers. Developers want to be able to choose their packages, want to be able to determine which containers they want to use and being able to essentially determine how they build together their tools that allow them to move faster and deliver business goals. But at the same time we want to have vetting and controls in place so we can apply compliance whether it starts from very basic aspects of CIS benchmarks or more custom or very specific useful custom tools and controls that are specific to your business and organization to be able to vet these out. The other reason as to why supply chain security becomes very important and dealing with these issues in a declarative fashion is not just the infrastructure itself but all the new layers of tooling that are highly automating and contributing to scale. For example, going from Kubernetes to Istio or general service meshes. These are all components that are highly contributing to the velocity of development. So if we do not take on this notion of shared responsibility and ensure that our supply chains are properly locked down, looking for bad indicators and eventually solving these through configurations and declarative fashions, we end up with a runtime environment that you really don't have to think about your highest risk environment being even a vulnerability that is going to be exploited. It could be simple misconfigurations in your RBAC or even exposed APIs. And this is again where it brings us back where at Red Hat what we are focused on is ensuring developer velocity, business moving as quickly as possible. But at the same time for us to integrate all of our security tooling and knowledge across the entire lifecycle and ensure that we are leveraging as many open source tools and as many tools that the developers can integrate into their existing workflows to solve for a lot of these particular supply chain securities. Thank you very much for your time. And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.


Do it do it do it Hey, guys, I know you've seen the title and I know that you guys have been requesting for me to do this I swear to God for a really long time The honest truth is I don't know how to do drag makeup. I've never done drag makeup. Wait, what you don't know how to do it You're gonna do it on me. No, I mean I watch some videos Okay, it's gonna be fine the top comment on Julian's vlog yesterday. Why it had nothing to do drag makeup on Julian So I was like should I sit down and do mine first or like just do Julian's what I was like Maybe I could practice on myself.  That's that's funny. That's funny. No, we're gonna glue them down What yeah with glue me. We're gonna glue them down. They're throwing my head You know you glue them like flat to your face so you can cover it with makeup The more the more time you give me right now the more chances that I've run away before it starts Have you seen like drag makeup? Yes, you know what it looks like. It's like the epitome of extra ray Yeah, it's pretty extra. It's pretty extra. It's like the Christina Aguilera of makeup. Oh, I'm sitting in the shade Are you throwing shade Christina Aguilera? What you do to you? She doesn't comment on my vlogs anymore The only thing I don't have is like a really light concealer and stuff to do all the highlights So I have like some stuff and I think I'm gonna try to work with some powders to make up for it But we'll see what happens. Okay, we'll see what happens Nothing I was just like testing out the zoom. It looks pretty bad. This is a literal glue You're just gonna glue your eyebrows out.  What can I get you today?  Oh, you have a lot of brow boy We don't need more glue. Stop doing that. Itches. I'm gonna have a clumpy you to brow Okay, I need you to face me and stop eating peanut butter, please. I was told I could be my own pee pee Stop. This is a disaster You have like chunky glue all over your face speaking of chunky. No, don't be nasty. Oh my god. This looks terrible Why is it so chunky? What happened? I don't like don't mind a pretty good tip. No, they're not so I don't really know what to do here It looks like different people use different techniques, but they're just like powder concealer powder foundation So you're basically erasing your eyes. Yes, so you can make them other places, right?  I was like, why don't you just glue them down? Cuz I wanted to have the experience and it was great and worth it. I'm failing look it you can see them Look at that. That doesn't look good First I'm gonna do the little powder hit me with that pow pow girl I'll be amazed if I have any makeup after this.  What's your drag name? Bok Bok Choi. Oh Bok. What's your last name? Bok, and then my last name is Mac and cheese It looks so bad. This is like the first day in makeup school to be fair.  I'm a bald eagle make a bird sound Bok.  This is like when we used to okay, but you can't get it in my eye It's going in your eyes.  You did one eye at a time. Oh, right now.  I'm gonna melt into the wall. I'm like I feel already like so defeated Oh, it looks great, babe, especially the Illuminati triangle on my eyebrow All right, I'm gonna do mine and then don't touch your face I just did mine with the same stuff like somehow I went terribly wrong with you somewhere We're terribly right.  I don't know where they go Like up here somewhere. Hell yeah That can't be right. Is it? Attitude will go like this What do you think?   Do you like it? Yeah He says he said I can't look at you.  I'm doing a white underneath I'm gonna fill in the the top lid with like a light color. Oh my god. That's his knees.  Sounds good like doing the makeup like on your eyebrow. Oh, yeah, you're a Julie That wasn't so bad, was it? It actually was. They held it together pretty well. I wanted to die the whole time. What am I? You're beautiful! No, no. I want to die. I want to die. I hate this feeling Babe, look up and stop it There, done. So I just finished mine. I think it looks good.  I'm just a- I mean, I'm not surprised I'm just impressed. I feel like we took all of our best makeup techniques from drag makeup artists So it's like it's second nature to do you just do a little more than you would do. It's crazy though It looks really good. Hell yeah, girl. What's my drag name Julien? Midnight at Walmart. You think of a drag name for me and I'll do your eyeliner. Sounds good You did good with that Julien. That one easy cuz you get to keep your eyes closed. Yes, 100% What? What? What? I like it and I got your drag name. What's my drag name Julien? Sandy Bleach! Boy! I can't see her here. Your eyes aren't open. They're not. Sandy Bleach is a bad name. Give me a good name.  Connie tour. You're Connie tour. That's your name. Connie tour! Connie tour. Box smack and cheese. Name a more iconic do-it that you actually can really fast. You versus the girl He tell you not to worry about. I learned this trick a long time ago The good news is when you wear a lot of black eyeliner It matters less and less that your like eyelashes placed well. Yeah, you can just sort of jam it on there Just put it anywhere. Connie tour. I trust you You need some mascara in there so I can like see the gap where your lashes are. I'm gonna scare to you.  Yeah. Kylie who? I feel like you're drawing outside the line of coloring book. Connie I'm so excited. Tour me up. Julien you look so good. All right. Are you ready for the final look? Wait you gotta fix this You Back in cheese.  Don't touch.   Here's the face to her. So here's the face. Open your eyes.  We have this same makeup on. You look like like a real drag queen though Like that came out really good. Honey. I know. Except for the except for the eyebrows I need a little practice with the gluing of the eyebrow. It looks like a hairy bird in the middle of your face Okay, I thought it was a little unnecessary and uncalled for I think I want to know how we I think it's the eyebrows mostly But I did the same makeup on you in the same makeup on me, and we look really different Everyone can look like me Sorry, this is my accessory Box, mac and cheese. Box. Fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm falling in point. Don't touch me. Julien are you okay? I'm like so incredibly far away from okay. Why? What's wrong? I can't see I can't smell I can't feel my face I don't know where I am. Yeah, but you started touching your nipples. It's like when you put on that Yeah, to make sure they were still there. I can't see. I think you look really nice Like it's a really good look for you. This is like ah, I just have to go to the post office today Look, did you like the process? I liked the first like the first ten minutes and then the last ten minutes like the seven hours in between We're like a little little much Just a couple of goyals out here doing goyals stuff. I know it's real not bad.  It's what they asked for Julien I don't know where you guys like asked for this what even what prompts you guys Why is that the top comment? I like this look a lot like I would wear this. I wish I knew what I look like I'm not a choke. I am the part of the artichoke that you can't eat. My name is Arnie choke I hope you guys are happy.  We're basically twins now. How does it feel to date yourself? Pretty hot Little directions read make sure you subscribe to my channel.  I'll see you guys next week. How are we gonna wash this off? We're not this is me now. Goodbye


Do you think this flag pattern will play out? Hard to say, right? And according to best-selling author, Tom Balkowski, a flag hits its price target just 46% of the time. But I'm going to show you how to dramatically increase your edge by layering order flow onto this basic pattern. This heat map shows the change in order book liquidity over time. You can see high liquidity added to the bid and liquidity being pulled from the offer, supporting a bullish breakout of the flag. Here's another example. Once again, the heat map provides real-time insight. Notice how this time there's no liquidity supporting the move on the bid and heavy liquidity on the offer. The pattern fails. Finally, here's one for you to try. Will this bear flag play out? Here's the heat map for some help. Once again, the order flow was supporting the pattern, liquidity pulling on the bid and adding on the offer. I've shown you three examples here, but please don't take my word for it. Go and backtest this for yourself. Capture hundreds of data points to really build confidence in the setup.


Okay, welcome back everyone to theCUBE's coverage of AWS re-invent 2021. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We are here live in person for a real event. It's a hybrid event, it's a live stream, a lot of actions, two CUBE sets here, wall-to-wall coverage, go to siliconangle.com and of course theCUBE.net to check all the coverage out and Amazon's got their own live event site. Go check out all the action. Got Stuart McGill here, CTO of Micro Focus, the company that was part of the big announcement involving the mainframe modernization that Adam Silebsky announced on stage on his first keynote as CEO and under the covers is Micro Focus powering a lot of that functionality. Stuart, thanks for coming on theCUBE to break it down with me. Thanks, John. So what does the announcement mean that Adam gave the IBM, I mean not the mainframe announcement, obviously IBM's known for the mainframe, but he had the mainframe modernization program. What's that all about? All right, I think we'd like to think of this, it's the next evolution of the mainframe. For those customers that have been running on the mainframe for 40 years, they've bet their business on it, where do they go next, what does the future hold? And this is all part of the announcement yesterday is this is the journey that many, many customers are going to decide to go on. So talking about the relationship between AWS and Micro Focus, obviously, I know AWS is talking about migration with Oracle and a lot of their customers have these mainframes that are in the classic data centers. Adam Silebsky told me personally when I interviewed him that the mainframe is part of that data center mindset that people are chipping away at now. They want to move them out, maybe keep some functionality, but for the most part, migrate it out eventually. This is where you guys are involved. Take us through why that's important. Well, I think it's a level of agility that it has actually delivered. For many customers, they need to move a hell of a lot faster than they currently are. Let's face it, the world is changing at pace. The applications that support these customers need to also change at pace. What AWS does is give this market a momentum, which is where do we go next? Where do we take customers where workloads have been running their business? How are they going to run their business in five years' time? How are they going to run their business in 10? Well, congratulations on Micro Focus, big part of the announcement. It specifically explained to me, Micro Focus is role in the announcement with AWS. What's the relationship? I think there's two-fold, to call it out. Actually, we've been working with AWS for many, many years. This isn't something that's radically new. We've been engaging with them for literally 10 years at least. But the key element is Micro Focus provides technology that's an enabler to facilitate AWS delivering the service, as well as a competency partner to help customers actually accelerate their journey to take advantage of it. So they're bundling Micro Focus into that capability. Is it software that you guys have? What's going on under the covers? I think it's software, it's capability, it's expertise. It's everything that a customer might need to help and be successful. Our job is to support AWS. It's AWS' job to make sure that the customer is absolutely satisfied. All right, so give me an example. I'm a customer, I got a mainframe. I'm a bank, I've been using the mainframe and boy, it just squeaks in time to get my backup done before I turn on the lights in the morning. It's just working, it's humming, it's pumping in all cylinders. My cobalt programmer just quit. What do I do? How do you guys help me? Well, I think there are two reasons why you can never sick call. Number one, you need to move your business at pace. So what's going to run your business going forward? So you need to understand your applications. Number two, the cost profile of your existing infrastructure is going to be incredibly expensive. So what you want to do is essentially make the change, accelerate the change, deliver that of much lower cost. So it looks at the application, so the software says, okay, what's the app?  I mean, I'm just trying to visualize- Oh, I see what you mean. What happens? Because I got the mainframe, I know what that is. Been dealing with that animal for a long time. What happens next? Is it containerized? Is it an app replication? The customer determines how far they want to go. If they would like their mainframe application to run in the cloud exactly as is, so it supports their customers exactly as they expect today, we can do that. On the other hand, if they need to enhance that experience for their customers, if they need to take it into a completely different environment, if they do want to containerize, if they do want to take it into new levels of service, if they do want to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, then again, they can determine the journey. Microfocus is there to essentially support them, do that first step, which is get the applications ready to be delivered into cloud as fast as possible. Well, congratulations on the relationship. I guess I got to ask you the question, which on my mind is that, okay, is this death of the mainframe? Long live the mainframe? You know, the old expression. Are they, is mainframe dying or are they going to hang around for a while? I mean, the dinosaurs are out there, right? I think this is, we like to position it more as an evolution. We don't think the mainframe is going to die. There will be customers who want to stay there when we respect their choices. But on the other hand, this is a way to truly accelerate the future of mainframe applications. You know, and I'll say, Stu, I would talk to a lot of CACISOs and CIOs and they all tell me the same thing. When they move into the cloud, the white hot core is pretty much the mainframe or critical apps. They get the edges first, move them to the cloud and then they come in and they start chipping away at the main core and then slowly move it out because they don't want to get in there and disrupt. So disruption is a huge concern. How does this new modernization migration program for the mainframe ensure that disruption doesn't happen? I'm sure that's on their mind. Well, I think what you're describing is what's the cut over, which is you're running on the mainframe today, you want to run on the mainframe tomorrow. You know, if that's the case or do you want to run on the mainframe today and you want to run on the cloud tomorrow? Essentially, the cut over is the same. The process is fairly separate from the mainframe itself.  We literally have customers that turn off the mainframe and they're already running in the cloud and then we even have some that have photographs of them shipping the mainframe out the door. So I got to ask, is there a cut over party at that point? People, you know, champagne. Some people do that. It's certainly true. Remember, their people are also going along for this journey and they're not, it's a big moment for them.  Today's my birthday, so I have to say this. I remember when I was breaking into the business in my 20s, I never programmed on punch cards but I remember pointing at the mainframe guys and saying, those old relics, I guess that's what I would be today but the young guns coming into the industry today, they want containers, they want microservices, they want cloud, you see what's going on here at AWS. I mean, some really cool stuff happening. They want to take advantage of all the cool stuff that is there and every single announcement that's been made today and yesterday and the days ahead, all of those are great capabilities if you can get them into the core of your business. And so the key is to actually take what's running your business today, enhance it and improve it and take it forward. Yeah, I think the key point is great insight on your part about this cut over because people know what that means. It's a project plan. Cut it over, get it set up and I think that's the hard part. How hard is that on the cloud side in terms of staging? Can you share some timetables with me just to kind of give me a feel for order of magnitude? I got a mainframe, assume it's pumping, it's an app I'm using, I really can't shut it down but I want to cut it over storage. How much time to prepare to get it to the cloud? Roughly just order of magnitude. Most customers, they tend to phase these things.  That isn't going to come as a big surprise but what you're going to do is you're going to take it in chunks and they're typically 12 to 15 months which is the biggest step of the journey which is going from mainframe to cloud. The next iteration is going to be modernizing those applications and it's going to be much shorter timeframes than you're getting into months, weeks, days after that. Is there any categories that you see that are more susceptible to migration? I mean, as you mentioned, banks, I know some banks that they swear they're never going to touch the mainframe because literally, I don't, it's just so critical that the migration has to be longer. Is there other areas with more insurance, there's obviously a big mark for mainframes? Is there verticals that kind of like are more converting than others? Well, yes, but actually I take it back. One of the reasons is are these applications absolutely critical to these businesses? If they are, that's the reason why they're still running where they are because they're really truly valuable. They are the business. So you're taking the business into your new framework. So in that context, actually it tends to be financial services, insurance as you say, but also government for example, federal governments, state and local, as well as then you move into retail and it's surprising how often as you go into some of the other verticals where some of these mainframe applications are still existing. I hate to ask a dumb question only because I don't know it, so I want to ask it. And if you can say it's a dumb question if you think it is, just Dave, tell me. Are there still COBOL programmers out there? There are, to be clear, actually COBOL's not the problem. You can train a new guy in COBOL in literally weeks. If they don't quit. The issue is, yeah. Yeah, that issue is the mainframe itself. The mainframe experience about how it works is getting rarer and rarer. So the key element is, how can you take the new young guns and give them the application and see what they can do? And this is a mechanism to do that. Great announcement, congratulations. I was really impressed to see the mainframe. Actually surprised to see Adam kind of focused on that. But again, in the spirit of this tradition of re-invent, Jassy before Adam, Andy Jassy did the same thing with Oracle and all the other kind of big legacy, old guard, they call them, technologies, mainframes one. You guys are part of that, so congratulations. Just final word, your take on the event so far, what's been the feedback on the announcement? Share some color commentary on what the feedback's been for you guys. Now we actually, since the announcement, we've had some great customer conversations. I mean, there are a lot of businesses that really do want to make this change. We're kind of there to help them. And that's really the next step, which is what needs to happen to make this a reality. I mean, Amazon may not like me saying it, but I think there's some use cases where you keep the mainframe in there and you don't touch it, it works there, you keep it unless you want to move it. But if you want to move it, people sometimes want to move it faster and get in this path there. Even AWS respects customer choice. The purpose is to meet the demand of the customer. And if the customer chooses to sell the mainframe, great. If they want to move off, we're there to help. Get to the mainframe, long live the mainframe. It's theCUBE coverage here in Las Vegas. I'm John Furrier, love the mainframe. I used to have a 3270 terminal when I worked at IBM back in the 80s, dating myself. Well, when you need to. McGill, thanks for coming on theCUBE, appreciate it. Pleasure. Okay, CUBE coverage here in Las Vegas. theCUBE, you're watching the leader in global tech event coverage. I'm John Furrier, your host, thanks for watching.


Do you know if a good keybinding guide for someone looking to play palace? To be honest like you don't really need a guide, right? It's just the mindset of like What spells do you use a lot? What spells you need to use fast? What spells do you not use quite as much? There's like there's three tears I guess maybe four but generally it's like spells that you use a lot Slash fast is like the tier one right as to in terms of binding.  That's your last tier And and it doesn't have to be on these exact binds, but you you want to try and go in with this mindset of Like thinking about your spells maybe trying to group your spells together and like no pad or excel or something Regardless of what class you run and you want to think about you know, do I need this unfocused? Do I need this on one two three? Obviously one two three binds is where it gets a little bit more complicated You know dispel arena one dispel arena two dispel arena free or dispel party one dispel party two I'm maybe a modifier to do these abilities on yourself, right? That's where it starts getting more complicated So you want to try and build your your bindings from that initial Priority system and then expand it into the more advanced cases and then try and make the The more advanced cases intuitive steps From Your initial stuff, right, right, so like Like to spell self is on shift F for me, right to spell as an F So generally my stuff that's on myself is shift, right? So Some binds I don't have in this case It's not possible to do everything perfectly, but as many as I can I have that on shift for myself pen and pains oppression self Shift G right to spell self shift F Things like desperate prayer is on shift for right so Shift is a lot of self-stuff in that regard and the reason for this is my trinket is on shift R And so it's really easy to go for from shift R to shift any of those those other spells While still holding shift right I don't have to do some crazy like shift R to trinket and then like control fucking q or something Right to to dispel or to pain suppression or whatever. It's like it's a very close binding and it will follow naturally if The situation arises where I need to actually do that Do you six yh and m? Um, m. I don't n. I don't it kind of goes down from six down to b For like any of my common stuff six is like the line as that's as far as I go With the exception of like J. I would say H is included in that that lying down right six yh b and then the exception is J Which is target teammates pet which is something that I would like to change, but I'm not sure what to change it to But yeah, that's kind of my limit just because of the size of my hand But obviously everyone is a bit different so your bindings are going to look different But yeah, if you're looking to to build a binding system from scratch That's the logic I would suggest using and and definitely writing down your your different abilities in excel Trying to group them into priority uh Or tears And then assigning bindings to them make sure you write down all of your different bindings that you're able to actually use You're comfortable using whether that be an alt binding. I'm not a big fan of alt But you can use shift control whatever and then you can kind of match them, right? uh, the other thing I would suggest or Say keep in mind is that There are some things that are off global So targeting is off global uh Like there are abilities that are off global as well. So like Living ice crystals for me like power infusion in a focus um Wand to a degree weapon swaps And you even want these these uh these off global things on depending on how fast you need to use them You want them either on the mouse or you want them on a button. It's really close to your natural hand position So for me targeting arena one two three f1 f2 f3 It's really close to one two three four five, which is where all my natural Rotational abilities are so I can easily Rotate and switch around enemy targets while Just playing my normal game and it's not a big stretch for me to go And so I can easily do it on global and it doesn't cause me all these extra hand movements That is going to make your hand tired, right? Uh because they're in relatively the same space now The other thing I would say is you can also put abilities that you need to use quickly But less often potentially you can put them on the mouse Because now you're using two hands. So it doesn't matter that it's off global It's not going to slow your hand down or using something that's on global isn't not going to slow you down Uh for the other the other binding Uh whole time Um, but yeah, so that's like sort of the tldr at least on my mindset. We're doing key binds um Like I said, it's kind it's quite a personal thing Like I wouldn't suggest just blindly copying someone else because You'll find that some of the bindings are a bit like they don't feel good for you. Maybe your hand's bigger smaller, whatever Uh, or you're using a different keyboard. So like my keyboard the f keys are directly above one two three I bought it specifically for this right Rather than like there being a gap and it further away. They're literally directly above no gap um So the f keys on a normal keyboard are probably less Good essentially then compared to this keyboard. I'm using a vortex tab 75 by the way Uh, if anyone's interested But yeah, so What will happen right is that you'll you'll copy someone's bindings and then You'll find that there's some stuff that's not comfortable So you'll change that stuff But then the whole thing kind of unravels right the bindings kind of work together And when you start changing one thing a lot of the other stuff doesn't make as much sense anymore And there's it's just not as good anymore And you find that you're ended like you get a lot of uncomfortable binds and combos and situations and stuff like that Like combos is another thing right? There's like groups of spells That you often will cast in a row or together or whatever so you want that to be like sort of natural In terms of like the progression of where your hand is and goes You don't want to be going from one side to the other or from like one shirt you bind to like a good one completely different like hand position or whatever So if yeah, if you go and copy someone's binds and you find that you don't like something you change that then everything else Kind of doesn't make as much sense anymore if it's a good like binding system, I guess At least So I would say trying to make your own from scratch You're gonna is always going to be better because you're going to remember it better for one Certainly doesn't help that. I haven't played in so long. I'm out of touch with the characters and their spell importance um Yeah, that definitely makes it a bit more tricky, but I would say That's the kind of thing that you can gain from streams. You can gain the spell importance from streams and looking at other people's bindings Yo


Love has been called divine madness, for good reason. From the outside, it can be hard to distinguish true love from true insanity. We've all met couples with love stories that blur the line between romantic and completely nuts. But as crazy as these stories might sound, we can actually explain them perfectly with the lens of Austrian economics. We can turn the insane into the rational, without losing too much romance in the process. Take a wonderful story of romantic insanity. My father, my dad proposed seriously to my mother one week after they met. He was 19 years old. She wisely declined, but after a few months he proposed again. He said he, quote, felt their spirits merge. She, again being sensible, declined. A few months later, he proposed a third time. This is all within the first year of meeting, and she said no. But then for some reason, my mother reconsidered and called up my dad to accept his proposal. He quickly bought a ring and then sent it to her in the mail because he was in the Navy at the time. They got married after one year of knowing each other and after having spent less than three months together physically. They're poor parents. History is filled with even more dramatic displays of romance. Mark Antony committed suicide after being told Cleopatra was dead. That Taj Mahal was built by an emperor who was grieving his wife. Peter Abelar wound up getting castrated for his forbidden relationship with Elwa. Clearly, love is powerful whether it's due to insanity or not. Now, before talking about economics, I must clarify. I'm not referring to love as it's popularly defined, where I love you means I really, really like you. I'm talking about the deepest kind of love, which you can only understand by experiencing it. The kind where you'd be willing to jump off a bridge if necessary to show your love. In the deepest of moments, if my wife asked me to dismember myself, I would. Does that make me crazy? Not at all. We can understand this behavior using simple economic concepts starting at the foundation. Humans act in accordance with their preferences. We have various goals and therefore we value the different means that we use to achieve those goals. And when we act, we demonstrate which goals we value the most. To illustrate, imagine you have a bottle of water. You have options. You could drink it, give it to your dog, wash your hands, you could throw it at somebody or do something else. If you choose to drink it, for example, you've demonstrated that quenching your thirst is your highest valued goal at the time. After all, if you valued washing your hands more than quenching your thirst, you would have acted differently. Your action has revealed your preference. The same holds true when you're in love. If your highest valued goal is the expression of love, you act accordingly.  If your love requires that you hike across the country barefoot, singing the theme song to Power Rangers, then you start tonight. The consequences don't matter. Of course, from the outside, people will think you're crazy, but from the inside, you're just acting rationally in accordance with your goals. So you can think of falling in love as simply a reordering of your preferences, as romantic as that sounds. And this reordering can be radical. You end up valuing another person more than yourself, which fully explains why lovers would jump in front of trains for each other. And in Mark Antony's case, his valuation of life itself was tied to love. Without love, for him, there was no more reason to live. So ultimately, though I'm sure he was depressed and grieving, his suicide was a rational decision. He didn't value life at all without love. So when you hear some Romeo writing about how he'd go to the ends of the earth or walk a million miles for his Juliet, it's not a rhetorical flourish. It's true. In fact, it's so true, it's scary. When love is your highest valued end, you're willing to do anything for it. It might sound nice to say, Darling, I would jump off a bridge for you. It sounds a bit less romantic to say, Darling, I would push people off a bridge for you. Just how far, in a bad way, would somebody go for true love? It's disturbing to think about. And to be honest, those moments of extreme love that I've experienced are coupled with terror for two reasons. I really feel like I would do anything. And it puts me at the mercy of my wife. She could crush me or make me a criminal at the snap of her fingers. I suppose you could say extreme love comes with extreme fragility. And in the case of my parents, their reordered preferences and fragility with each other worked. They were married for about 35 years. So by using the lens of Austrian economics, we can turn apparent madness into sanity. So next time you see shameless infatuated lovers, rest assured, they aren't insane.

I love they keep having the confidence not only to throw to him in the paint but outside too they knew that the guy had a hot hand why not just keep going to yeah and then yeah you know so Kevin Durant not playing we know Tim and Taylor Lowe Cabrude not playing and then of course Jeff Kreen guys that would have factored so much into the offense Bruce Brown is out there because he can defend when you get 29 points from him you want to talk about an added bonus and he was huge in the fourth quarter because it looked like they're the nets were there for the taken and you know Sacramento to their credit for it hard they made some big shots here and fire Fox started getting hot Bruce Brown was a difference in that fourth in winning 700 we've talked about this they've always found different ways to win those games but there was always a commitment to defense pretty much in those first six that kind of changed tonight it was much more of an offensive yeah and I think you know you kind of expected coming off of a long road trip you're playing a Sacramento team that's not very good to begin with but for the Brooklyn Nets it's you know they always say that losing becomes a habit to me tonight is an example of winning becoming a habit just finding a way you know Kyrie Irving was great in the first quarter really didn't do much the rest of the game scoring wise James Harden of course was terrific they needed someone to kind of pull them through and it was Bruce Brown yeah 14 of Kyrie's 21 in that first quarter and then just seven the rest of the way but typical Mr. Reliable James Harden with his sixth triple double since joining the Nets he's been great and that's why you like what Bruce Brown is doing running the court because James Harden is the kind of player he will look for you he will pass the ball first when he gets into the paint and he hits that floater it always feels like that's his second option he would rather lob the ball to somebody whether it's Nicholas Claxton or DeAndre Jordan he's been outstanding since they got them there haven't been a lot of Nets players that run down the court like that like Bruce Brown did and I think that surprised the kings a little bit tonight right that he was just able to sneak behind them yeah and made it easy on Harden you know Sacramento is one of the worst teams defensively in the league and that's an example of no communication and just being lackadaisical and I like what Bruce Brown was doing it was almost like he was lulling them into sleep he knew exactly what he was doing then he would look up and James Harden what we talked about in the pregame he's his eyes are always all over the court he's looking to make the pass those easy baskets are important over the course

Well, it is believed by the experts, scientists and researchers in the field of infectious diseases that if herd immunity gets established and retained in a population for enough duration of time, the disease is predictably reduced if not completely eradicated. In other words, herd immunity puts brakes on the community transmissions. Today, I, Hemant Batra, the public policy speaker, shall be talking about the herd immunity. So keep watching this video ahead. We have been hearing a lot about herd immunity as the lockdown is loosening up in India and elsewhere in the world and literally coming to an end. What is herd immunity? You must be pondering. Let me take you through this concept, which is also known as community immunity, population immunity or social immunity. It is a kind of incidental shield or protection from infectious diseases, including epidemics or pandemics, which happen when a huge proportion of a population becomes immune to an infection. That is resistant and protected to an infection. This immunity happens not by some miracle or intervention of some supernatural forces. It happens naturally, biologically, either through immunization, that is vaccination or earlier infections, which build a kind of shield around you, around those people who are not immune. In a population in which a substantial sizeable percentage of people acquire immunity, those people obviously are no more the cause of disease transmission. That's what herd immunity is all about. This leads to the breaking of chains of infection, leading to the slowing down of the spread of disease. The greater the number of immune persons in a population, the lesser the likelihood that non-immune or vulnerable individuals will come into contact with an infectious individual. This helps in protecting non-immune individuals from disease and infections. Herd immunity was documented as a biologically-happening phenomenon in the 1930s, when it was noticed that after a substantial number of children had become immune to measles. The number of new infections provisionally declined, including among susceptible children. As I mentioned earlier in my talk, that people can become immune by recovering from a previous infection or through vaccination. However, there are certain exceptions to herd immunity, to this principle of herd immunity or this biological model of herd immunity. Some people have serious medical conditions, for instance, and their immunity is low, so they may become sacrificial victims in this process. Well, as soon as a particular level or threshold goal gets achieved, that number gets achieved, herd immunity steadily reduces and even eradicates disease from a population. As stated in the Oxford textbook of infectious disease control, this elimination, beg your pardon, if achieved worldwide may result in the permanent reduction in the number of infections to zero, called eradication. For instance, herd immunity created via vaccination contributed to the eventual eradication of smallpox in 1977 and has contributed to the reduction of the frequencies of other diseases as well. Now the illustration which is in front of you now shows that an eruption of infection in a community in which a few people are infected, shown in red, as you can see, and the rest are healthy, but unimmunized. They are shown in blue, as you will notice. The illness spreads freely through the population in this illustration which is before you. The second image now which you see illustrates a population where a small number have been immunized. This is shown in yellow, as you will notice. Those not immunized become infected while those immunized do not. Now see the third image. A large proportion of the population has been immunized, as you will see. This prevents the illness from spreading significantly, including to unimmunized people. Now you will notice that in the first two examples or illustrations or images or graphics, most healthy unimmunized people become infected. Whereas in the bottom example, which is the third example, only one fourth of the healthy unimmunized people become infected. The model of science of herd immunity does not apply to all viruses and infections. Basically it applies to only those that are communicable and contagious, meaning that they can be transmitted from one individual to another. Tetanus, for instance, is infectious but not contagious. So herd immunity does not apply in such cases. The herd immunity threshold for this COVID-19 is still unclear. But many epidemiologists consider it will be achieved when between 60% and 80% of the population has been infected and develops resistance. A lower level of immunity in the population can slow down the spread of a disease slightly. But the herd immunity number represents the point where infections are significantly less likely to turn into large occurrences of infections. That's all for today. See you next time.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a four box break of 2022 Panini Spectra football, half case picker team number 15, and a wax party break.

Hello Bello people, Arpita the side and welcome to my channel. In this video we are going to look at Jacobian Age of British Literature. So far I have covered still Elizabethan age, all the videos still Elizabethan age is available on my YouTube channel in a separate playlist. So if you have not gone through them, make sure you do it. Because in all those videos I have explained very specifically the important writers, poets and dramatists that you should be reading for each of those ages. And the same thing we are going to do in this particular video as well. But before we move on to the literateness of this age, it is important to also look at the political background and the first question comes that who was the ruler during this Jacobian period. So just like during Elizabethan period it was Queen Elizabeth who took the throne of British Empire, similarly during the Jacobian period it was King James the first who became the ruler. Now there might be two questions that could pop up in your head. The first would be, Elizabeth was a virgin queen, she did not marry, she never had kids, then from where did this person James the first came into England. And the second question can be that if the age of Elizabeth is known as Elizabethan age, the age of King James the first should be known as Jamesian age. Why is it known as Jacobian age? The ruler was not Jacob, he was James. So why this difference in the age and the ruler? I am going to answer both these questions first before moving on to a very very interesting story related to the Jacobian age. So the first question as you have pointed out beautifully is that the age should be named after King James the first and the name according to every one of us should be Jamesian but it is Jacobian. So if you look at the name James in Latin you will find out that in Latin it is known as Jacob and that is the reason why the name of the age is Jacobian age because the Latin word for James is Jacob. So this is from where Jacobian word is coming into the game. The second question is that why did James the first became the ruler of the England and for the first time you might also even think that who was James the first? Fine he became the ruler but he aya kaha se. So let us understand the history. Let's go back to King Henry VII. So we all know that King Henry VII who was ruling somewhere in 15th century had two kids King Henry VIII and Margaret Tudor. Now King Henry VIII had a daughter named Elizabeth. Now once King Henry VII died King Henry VIII took the throne after King Henry VIII died who would be the successor it would be Queen Elizabeth. Now on the other side of the story we also have the story of Margaret Tudor. Now this lady Margaret Tudor married the prince of Scotland and the name of the prince was James IV. So James IV of Scotland and Margaret Tudor they both gave a birth to two kids King James V of Scotland and married the first. Now marry the first was a rival of Queen Elizabeth we are not going to get into the rivalry but you just need to know that marry the first was executed by Queen Elizabeth. So now who remains? King James V. Now King James V son was King James VI. Now when Queen Elizabeth died without giving birth to any kid the entire Britain was questioning that who will be the next successor. So very simply they thought that let somebody who is related to Queen Elizabeth become the successor and the name that came to everyone's mind was King James VI. So King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England and that is how the Jacobian age started. Now that we know a bit about the Jacobian era and we are all set to talk about the writers and the works written during this era I would like to take a moment and talk about a very interesting story which is related to Jacobian era I am pretty sure that all of you would be hearing it for the first time. So this story dates back to November 5th. Now what happened on November 5th even today in England if you go to go on November 5th you will find that children make paper dolls life size paper dolls of an anonymous man and they you know put it in fire at the night and they also have fireworks. Now this tradition seems very similar to the tradition that we Indians follow on the same era so we make life size model of Ravan and we burn it in order to symbolize the victory of good over evil. Something very similar happened on November 5th during the Jacobian era. So there was a group of English Catholics who were against King James I. So King James I was a protestant ruler and a lot of people in England during that period were Catholics and they were against a person who was a protestant.  Why? Because November 5th was the opening day of the parliament so they chose that particular day. But is it that easy to kill a king? No it's not. So what did they put gunpowder in the vault of the Westminster Abbey which is the parliament of England.  Gunpowder is basically English name for Barood and they decided that they are going to put fire in that gunpowder on 5th of November. But luckily somebody from that particular gang went and sent an anonymous letter to the king saying that there is something big that is going to happen on November 5th. The king was really smart so he ordered the king men to go and look for something in the basement. So when the king men went to the basement they could not only see the vault filled with gunpowder they also caught a person named Guy Fox who was kind of the ruler of this entire gang. So this person who the lead for this particular gang he was caught red-handed with matchboxes and torchlight in the basement. King decided to you know execute him he was executed and then finally king announced that November 5th is going to be celebrated every year with bonfire with fireworks to symbolize the safety and security of the whole British nation. So that is the story behind the gunpowder treason that was hatched against King James I but King was really lucky to get out of it very safely. Now that we are through with the history of Jacobian period it is time to look at the major works and the major writers. So if you look at the Jacobian era you will find majorly three types of writers we have poets essayist and dramatist. Let us first look at the poetry section because that's the most amazing one and I'm pretty sure that all of you are aware of metaphysical poets and their poetry. So yes all the metaphysical poets were writing during the Jacobian era. So from poets ranging from John Dunn to Andrew Marvel George Herbert all of them were working endlessly to create some amazing sonnets and poetries which are very dear to our heart even today and I'm going to not leave you without you commenting below your favorite metaphysical poetry because when I look at the metaphysical world I find that all the poems of John Dunn are my favorite and it is very difficult to get to that one particular piece which I love the most and I want to see that same dilemma in my audience as well. So I would like you to comment below your favorite metaphysical poetry not the poet poetry. So let's talk about metaphysical poetry I would not be taking it in a very detailed manner because I've already discussed a lot about metaphysical poetry in a separate video. You can get that video very easily on my channel but one important thing that I would like to clarify here is who coined the term metaphysics. A lot of students are confused whether it is Dryden or Samuel Johnson. See both of them did something in the field of metaphysics but they did very separate things. Dryden for the first time coined the term metaphysics whereas Samuel Johnson was looking at all these writers and he was somebody who put them together in a group and named it as metaphysical poets. In his book works of most eminent English poets. So Dryden has just coined the term metaphysics whereas Samuel Johnson put all these together in a group and named it metaphysical poets. So this is the difference and if you get a question please don't get confused. Now if you look at metaphysical poetry we all are aware that they were talking about religious theme, they were talking about love, romance, platonic love and they were also talking about a very simple term corpadium. I love this word and how it is pronounced beautifully. Carpadium basically means seized day. Make the best use of this particular day. This was what metaphysical poets were doing in regards to the theme. They also contributed a lot to the literary terms because they were using puns, paradoxes and conceits. So literary conceits was something which metaphysical poets used in a very charming way. Right? So this was about metaphysical poets. I'm not going to get into the details because I've already made a video. I really want to talk about the essays of Jacobian Age. So now let's jump right into the essay portion and see who were the famous essays who rocked the throne of English culture. The first person that will come to your mind when we are going to talk about essays and essayist of Jacobian Age is Mr. Francis Bacon. Yes, definitely. He is known as the father of modern essays and he has done some fantastic works when it comes to essays. So if you look at his works there are three major works which are very important from net point of view. The first one is advancement of learning. Why is it important? Because this work was written to King James the first. That's the reason why it's important. The second is essays, which is a collection of 58 essays. Now, what is important? Do you need to go through all the 58 essays?  Like I can read one essay and I need to at least take two days time to absorb the information. He was such a well-read man, Mr. Francis Bacon. But what you need to remember in the essays is the dates when they were published. So this collection of 58 essays were published first in 1597. The second edition was published in 1612 and the third edition was published in 1625. So kindly remember the dates because it has been asked a lot of times in net exam. And finally, we have the third important work which is in story of Magna. Now, this work as you can see from the title is not an English. This is in Latin. And why is this important? Because there's a very tricky thing related to in story of Magna. This particular work is divided into six book and the intention of Francis Bacon to divide it in six books was similar to the intention of God. So God tried to create the universe in six days and seventh day he wanted to rest. And that is why we have seven days of week, six days we work and seventh day that is Sunday we enjoy. We rest. The same thing was imitated or even I would say tried to imitate by Francis Bacon where he divided this work in story of Magna in six parts just to imitate the way God created the entire universe. Next important essay is Walter Raleigh. Now, Sir Walter Raleigh was very, very famous. Why? Because he was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth the first and Queen Elizabeth sent him on different missions to explore new lands and that is where he wrote a very beautiful work which was El Derado. El Derado symbolizes or stands for a mythical place which has immense wealth. So he was a sea dog. He used to go to distant land to find out where there is a land where England can go and colonize. And it was during this discovery that he also figured out America. He found America and he named it as Virginia. You know, just in order to clarify Virginia is basically named after the Virgin Queen Elizabeth. Now, what is important to know is that King James the first didn't like Walter Raleigh so much. So what he did when Walter Raleigh came back from one of his missions, he imprisoned him. King James the first he imprisoned and killed him in Tower of London. And his skull was presented to Walter Raleigh's wife who kept the skull with herself till the time she lived. So this is a very interesting story, though not very important from net point of view, but knowledge gained from anywhere doesn't harm us, right? So that's something about Walter Raleigh. Now let's move on and look at the dramatist and their fabulous words written during the Jacobian age. Now, when I was thinking of talking about the Jacobian drama, I was really confused about what to talk and what to skip because there is so much that was written during the Jacobian age that it is really, really impossible for me to summarize it in a 15 minute video. Because in my online course that I'm offering on my website, there have been more than 50 lectures which I give for just the Jacobian age, including essayist and poets and the dramatist. So it's very difficult to, you know, bring it down to a 15 minute video. But I would request you to kindly go to my website once and there's a section called online course syllabus where you can check out the list of all the essayist, poets and dramatist who were a part of Jacobian age. It is really important to know all of them because all of them have done something really wonderful in the field of literature and they are very, very important from the point of view of net exam. But if I have to like concisely talk about the dramatist, I would like to talk about the theme first. So if you look at the Jacobian age drama, it was different from the Elizabethan drama. In Elizabethan age, there were dramas related to aristocracy and prince and queen and all of that, just like we have Hamlet and Othello. But when we come down to Jacobian age, they were talking about realistic themes. They were talking about the problems that the society was facing, adultery, corruption, lust, anger, greed, all of these became the most important themes of the Jacobian plays. Now, when it comes to Jacobian plays, there are two very, very crucial types of plays you will find. The first one is the revenge tragedies. Now, the most important one is Thomas Middleton's revenge strategy. You might not have heard of Thomas Middleton, but I'm pretty sure that you would be knowing Duchess of Malfi and White Devil. These two are also a part of revenge tragedies. So revenge tragedy, as the name symbolizes, is about a person taking revenge of someone. And this was one of the most common type of tragedies that were popular during the Jacobian age. Another important type of tragedy was city comedies. City comedies are basically about the day to day life of people. And there was something called mask, which became very popular. Now, these masks were basically plays that were staged specifically for the aristocratic people and for the people who were a part of the Royal Court. So these plays were presented in front of the King. So they were very lavish in the way they have used the props and they've used the decor. And who was the founder of mask? It was Inigo Jones. Please remember the name, guys. This has been asked a lot of times in net exam. Inigo Jones was somebody who founded masks. And this was a very, very popular type of dramas that were staged during the Jacobian age. There's a lot, lot, lot more to dramas. But I'm really sorry I will not be able to cover it up in this particular video. I just wanted to give you a glimpse so that you will at least know where to start from. You can get the list of all the dramatic poets and essays easily and free of cost on my website. So if you are planning to start Jacobian age to study it further for any competitive exam, please make sure you go through that list. And if you want, you can even join our online courses. We have detailed lectures, PDFs and mock tests for each and every age of British literature and other parts of the world as well. So with that note, I would like to take your leave. Thank you for watching this video. I'll meet you very soon in the next video lecture. Till the time I meet next, happy learning, keep loving literature and stay tuned to our Patakarva.com


That morning, running a couple minutes behind and came outside, put the dog in the car, put the diaper bag in the car, and put my keys in the ignition. Ran back inside to grab her and my other daughter and came back out and my car was gone. That was it. I freaked out. I ran up and down the alley. I thought like I was being punked.  People want to know what a puffer is. Classic example. See the exhaust coming from the rear of this vehicle? Nobody's in the vehicle. This meets the definition of a puffer. Car's running. Where's the driver? Nowhere around. We need this to stop. Within not even 30 minutes, I was receiving another phone call from a different county saying they had found my car wrecked already. It was a woman. She hit another car and completely told it. She wasn't caught. She fled the scene. Airbags deployed. The whole front end is completely destroyed. I get to look at it every day as a reminder. So you ask yourself how long will this take for somebody to steal my car? I'm just running inside to get my purse. I just started my car. It takes seconds. This is a quick crime of opportunity. Somebody to get a free car to do whatever they're doing with it. And usually their intentions aren't good. This has been the hardest time ever because not only am I fighting with my insurance on this and still having to pay on a car that I can't drive. It's like my whole life has been flipped upside down. Don't do it. It's not worth the aftermath. I know everyone runs late and just does stuff not thinking about it or what the consequences could be. But this has definitely been a learning experience that I'll never forget.
