Welcome to our video on creating rubrics. In this video, we will look at what rubrics are and their benefits, how to make them, and how to use them in your courses. A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for students' work that includes descriptions of level of performance quality on the criteria. As this definition points out, rubrics have two parts, the criteria by which students' work will be graded and descriptions of levels of how well students meet the criteria. Here's an example of a rubric to give you an idea of what they look like. This one is for students' oral presentations. On the left, you can see the criteria, such as eye contact, posture, clarity, fluency, etc. Along the top, you can see the levels that students could achieve for each criteria. Students can be expert, proficient, or novice. And then under each level, you can see the descriptions for that level. For that criteria, for example, students who are experts in the area of eye contact maintain consistent eye contact with the audience. Many rubrics also add points so that students know how much each section is worth. For example, if you have a rubric with five sections and the incitement is worth 100 points, you might write on your rubric that each section is worth up to 20 points. The purpose of rubrics is to assess students' performance. They are usually used to give grades, and they can be used for formative or summative assessments. Almost any student work can be assessed with a rubric, such as papers or reports, presentations, lab reports, use some equipment, such as in a lab. Even artwork or a concept map can be assessed with a rubric. Not only teachers can use rubrics, students can evaluate their own work, revise it as necessary, and then turn it in for a grade. So rubrics, they have many benefits. They specify for students exactly what the students' expectations are for the assignment. They provide clear feedback to students. They help instructors create a well-organized assignment and then teach what students need in order to succeed in the assignment. They can be customized for different assignments. They increase fairness for students since instructors can focus on if each student has met stated expectations. They minimize instructor grading time through helping students produce better work and by making marking easier. They can be given to students online, which reduces the amount of paper that instructors need to use and carry around. So those are the benefits. And while they are beneficial, there are some considerations to keep in mind when you create and use rubrics. For one, it is important that they be clear and as simple as possible. The language across the descriptor levels should be consistent. For example, in the one that we looked at earlier, you can see very similar language between expert eye contact, student maintains consistent eye contact with audience, and proficient eye contact. Student mostly maintains eye contact with audience. If rubrics have too many words or are confusing, they will only frustrate students. Since EMI students are studying in a second language, you want to be extra careful about wording on rubrics. Another consideration is that rubrics should be linked to your student learning objectives and the objectives for your assignment. If you have an assignment where students need to interview an industry expert, write a report, and then present their main findings, you would want to have all those areas on your rubric. A third consideration is that the criteria and descriptors should be based on student performance, something that is observable and measurable. Looking at our example again, you can see that all the criteria are things the instructor could see. For example, with organization of content, the expert level is that the main idea is identified quickly and that clear transitions are used. Finally, keep in mind that creating a useful rubric does take time. Once you make it though, you will hopefully be able to use it many times and writing rubrics gets easier with practice. It's possible sometimes to find an existing rubric online that is not copyright protected and that you can use in your class, but many times you'll need to modify at least a bit of any rubric you'd find online so that it matches your assignment.


Last year, the Rozo volleyball team went 23-5 but fell one game short of the class to a state tournament. This year, despite a coaching change, the Rams are picking up right where they left off, going 16-4. But the team isn't satisfied and still wants more. As a Rozo alum, Becky Hayden says she always had what she called a lot of RAM pride. I went to college, I moved away and I always check back to see how Rozo was doing on things. Ever since taking over as the head volleyball coach, she says it's gotten even more personal. Rozo's had a really rich tradition of volleyball. Going back to the late 90s, the early 2000s, we've had some really good teams and it's really fun to be a part of the Rozo program and help try and build this tradition a little bit longer. The Rams are flourishing in Hayden's inaugural season, sitting 12 games over 500, while also ranking 12th in the state in class 2A. It's been fun, the girls have been really working hard and they're a competitive group of kids. Well, I think it's been like a transition for sure, but also she's been doing really good with us. I've had her in track before, so it doesn't even seem different like it feels like she's always been our coach. But she says the team has made her job easy after she inherited a group that fell just one game short of the class 2A state tournament last year, falling to Purim in the section 8 to a final. Even though we have a really strong team again this year, we lost some key roles and it's been a fun year trying to fill those puzzles and get that puzzle all together. The Rams say last season specifically that section lost has pushed them to be that much better this time around. They're hungry. I know last year it really sucked for those seniors, any against Purim when we know we were the better team. I think it just, it really does make us want it that much more because it really hurt being one game away. They have just been on a mission, so I think losing that game last year and then losing that first game this year has made them more hungry for success this year. And they believe they have the team and the tools to make it all the way. It's possible, but it's not a given. It's going to be a battle. If we just play like I know we can, I know we can get to the state tournament.


How can I increase the value of my artwork? Art resin instantly increases the value of any artwork in that it gives richness, it makes the colors pop, and it gives a nice modern look. It also has a very professional feel, so people don't need to frame the artwork once they've purchased from you. Instead, they can take that money and put it into your pocket. So really, art resin's a great investment for any artist. Not that I'm biased or anything.


and having to move it all to a company like Box, which says on the website, oh, if you need to send us three terabytes of data, just send us a hard drive by mail.  So if on cloud, you don't have that problem, you can just keep it where it is. Another nice feature is your on cloud encryption app, which can encrypt all the files that you have in storage. So what it does is whenever the file is sent from a client, and that goes encrypted, of course, to your own cloud via HTTPS, SSL, or TLS. And when it receives the file, it will encrypt it and then store it on the storage. Now, combine it with external storage, and suddenly Dropbox can become useful again.  Very nice. So there's a whole bunch of apps that are all kinds of other stuff to your own cloud, the calendar app, Compact. There's a real-time document editor called Documents, our own cloud documents. And the sites from that app, technically speaking, that's a JavaScript app that runs in your browser. It's very easy to install an on cloud, because there's one click in our app store, and then you have it that's downloaded and installed. We were currently also working with Colabora on creating integration for Libre Office online in on cloud, because the documents have for on cloud, first of all, again, it's a JavaScript app. So that means that the documents look slightly different than every browser. This is the same problem that Microsoft Office 365 has, same problem as Google Docs had. It's never really exactly as it would look when you look at it on a desktop. Libre Office online works different. It doesn't run in the browser. It runs on the server. And then streams the UI effectively to your browser. That's heavy on the server, but it's pixel-perfect rendering, exactly what you would get on a desktop, because it is the same code, exactly the same code. Plus, it also has all the features of Libre Office, so it can do spreadsheet, documents, anything that's in there. And again, this is only documents right now.  That's pretty heavy. At least, if you do it with multiple people. And on cloud documents, it's very light, because it doesn't run on the server. It runs on the client. So we'll keep both, but I'm quite excited about Libre Office online, because I think it's really cool to have that. And there are also kinds of other apps, like password managers, and I mean, there's lots of stuff. Mails, bookmarks. This is the app store on the left, so you just get categories, and you click on enable or disable. That's all you need to do. Because if you click enable, it's not installed, and it's downloaded and installed. Separate installation or something. And on the right, there's the website, so you can also check out oncloudapps on apps.oncloud.com, see if there's something that you're looking for that you need, and then you know what's available. So for admins, our own cloud tries to be easy to maintain, but also give administrators of cost control. So we have things like, you know, you can set up an email server and edit the mail template so your users get notifications when they get a share, or when a file got downloaded if they wanted a notification from that. I have a couple of really cool features that I'll actually get to later, the server to server sharing. Was that intentional? All right. Yeah, excellent. All right, keep it. Good for me. One of the nice things, I don't actually have a screenshot of that, but I think one of the nice things that owncloud does in the admin screen is that on top, you get a whole bunch of warnings, well, warnings. Let me say it in nicer terms. It tries to help you, you know, make sure that your configuration is secure and performant. So owncloud will work the first time you install it with, let's say, SQLite. But if you put a lot of files on an owncloud with SQLite, it gets slow. So you'll get a notification in the admin screen on top where it says, hey, you know, you're using SQLite, which is great, but there are performance limitations. Click here for the documentation how to upgrade to MySQL.  It'll work, but it's insecure. Click here to find out how to increase the security of your owncloud installation. And so on, and so on. We try to make it easy to make owncloud, you know, fast and secure. I mean, the problem, of course, with security is that it's rarely the technology that's a problem. It's the people using it. And that's the way we try to deal with that. So as you see, you can, you know, enable or disable public uploads, all kinds of other settings. Ops, create users, owncloud has an LDAP backend some other ways of like managing users. But of course, for small installation, the easiest is to just use the built-in user management. That'll be fine. So this is owncloud itself. Next, I'm gonna talk about Pi, but first, are there any questions about owncloud? What it does? How it does it? What you might wanna do with it? Ask me now. You can ask later too, but yeah, yes. Does it support Spider Oak as a backend? Well, I haven't seen it's like, it's not like one of the options there. However, I don't know what kind of API Spider Oak uses or offers. So if they offer a web dev interface, then yes, or FTP, because those are supported and somebody supported an Amazon S3. So again, I don't know, I can actually show you the list of supported, no, that's the wrong direction. Sorry for that. So the list of supported backends is here, as you can see, Amazon S3, and what works with it, Dropbox, FTP, Google Drive, OpenStack, owncloud, another owncloud, you can use it as external storage, as FTP web dev, there's also Samba and SIFS as CIFS, which is not in this list, because clearly on this owncloud, they didn't have the Samba client installed, and then ownclouds will tell you how you don't have the Samba client installed, so it's not in the list, but it'll show you the rest. Any more questions? No. So as I already mentioned, so owncloud uses our hash external data storage capabilities, and we feel that you should do things like redundancy and stuff there on the file system level, or use rate, something like that. Also a note, rather on a similar note, owncloud is not a backup, it synchronizes your files.  I mean, we have a file history, or how do you say that, like a ability to bring back, restore all the files, so owncloud actually automatically always keeps a copy of every time you change a file. It keeps like one copy per minute in the first 10 minutes and one copy per hour in the first day, and one copy per day in the first week, and one, you know, and so on. So you could say you can use the backup, but it is not a backup, that's not what it's made for. And the same, it doesn't replicate. So you have the ability to connect two different owncloud servers, and share files between them, and have users basically have them act as one owncloud server, called Federation. I will get to that later. But the data stays on one or the other, because also we want the owner of the data to be in control. So if we would start to replicate data to another owncloud, then suddenly you're giving away a new data, and it's again on somebody else's server. All right, this is about control for people themselves, rather than whoever else. Any more questions? All right, let's talk toys. So, may I introduce to you the banana pie and the raspberry pie? There are millions more developing boards out there, but these happen to be the ones that I'm most familiar with and also have with me. They're roughly same form factor, same size. They're very compatible as well. Specifications are different. Raspberry pie, this is a Raspberry Pi 2. I'm talking about co-op core 900 megahertz video core video, one gig DDR2, well, you can read, I'm sure. Now, the big difference between the two is that on the second line, the Mali 400 versus the video core four, the video core four is like, I don't know, four or five times faster. If you want a media player in your home, connected to your TV, Raspberry Pi 2 is your best bet. It's actually from all the development boards. Out there is pretty much the best for that option because it has just very good performance on the video side of things. On the other hand, the biggest downside of the Raspberry Pi is that that 100 megabit network plus the four USB ports are all connected to one single USB port on the chip. So, from an IO data transfer perspective, it is just terrible. I mean, if you would connect four hard drives to it and then try to get data off the network, what are you doing? This is really, really gonna be slow. On the other hand, the Banana Pi has a one gigabit network port on the chip, so direct and fast. And it has a SATA port, which is, well, orders of magnitude faster than USB and two USB that are, well, together one hub. So, for data storage and running a little server, they both cost the same. They're roughly the same size, but the Banana Pi is a lot nicer for a server while the Raspberry Pi is a lot nicer for a media center. I'm telling you this in parts because, well, we have a device over the Raspberry Pi too, and people ask me quite frequently, what device should I use for what? Doesn't mean you can't use the Raspberry Pi because we do, we have it running at the booth again. It works, but from a performance perspective, there's a lot of work to optimize it more than you would need for the Banana Pi. Anyway, so I've been given these workshops. I actually proposed to give one of these workshops for the, for scale, to install own cloud on a Banana or a Raspberry Pi. The secret to these workshops is actually that installing own cloud is boringly easy. I already explained it's a PHP web app. If you drop it in the right forward, it'll work. And the hard part is installing a web server and running a web server. So how many of you have a server running here or there already, you manage one? Okay, that's about a third. So for you, the hard part of running own cloud is done. If you wanna learn how to run own cloud at home, don't bother, just go to the install page, get it, drop it in the forward. It'll work, follow the instructions. As I said, you know, own cloud will tell you what to do. It's really, it's not completely trivial. I mean, you know, if you wanna make it fast, you need to install caching and other stuff. I'll get to that a little bit later, but for just home use, if you have a server, you already have done the hardest part, right? If you have SSL set up, security, I mean, I found that at least by far the most difficult part. So the own cloud part is gonna be easy. Now, security is a bit harder. Now, of course, if you want to run own cloud for 150 people, or for 150,000 people, then things get a little more interesting. Because then, you know, that Raspberry Pi isn't exactly gonna cut it anymore. So I'm gonna talk about that. Now, a colleague of mine started a couple of months ago developing a cluster of banana pies, in which he wanted to use, well, clustering technology, you know, a cluster file system of spread over multiple pies, database spread over multiple pies, different application servers, you know, the whole caching infrastructure, again, I'll get to that later, on banana pies, and then see how fast he could make it. And this was what I wanted to talk about today, with a comp, because, you know, this is not finished yet, it's basically stuck, you know, there's this time thing, somebody get me in the way, and all these other distractions from pecs. So I won't talk much about this, I'm gonna talk about much of the underlying technology, though, I'm gonna talk about scaling own cloud. I'm gonna start with a small own cloud, server for, you know, a couple of dozen users. As I said, for home users, you don't need much scaling knowledge. It's nice to make it fast, so use PHP 7, use, you know, decent cache, you'll get to that, but, you know, it won't be terribly complicated for a home user, but for a small business, or if you wanna give a lot of people access to it, it's nice to make it a little faster. So the basic you would need is indeed, you know, just LAMPstack Linux Apache SQL. Now I know Nginx is probably faster than Apache. Yeah, maybe, most of the developers do use Apache though, so it's simply the most reliable and easy to use solution. And it's not that slow, if you use more PHP, and we're actually right now, we're working on with the Pi project that I'll talk about later. We're just using Apache at the moment. I'm sure somebody will try and make an Nginx version, and maybe we'll see that it's gonna be 20% faster, which I think is worth it, but it's pretty good. MySQL too, actually we recommend MySQL in parts because you have Calera clustering that you can use, or Calera, I don't know how you pronounce it. Probably not the way I just did it in Dutch. SQLite works, but it really, really does not scale. So SQLite is by far the easiest way to get on cloud installed, because then you really just need to drop it in the folder, and then you go to your own cloud URL, and you give your username and password, and then you're done. And with MySQL, of course, you have to create a user in the database and tell your own cloud about the user and that stuff. It's a little more complicated, but it's worth it, as soon as you have more than, you know, five users or a few gigabytes of files, et cetera. PHP 7, it's out, go play with it. I mean, I wouldn't use it in the business yet, but it's really fast, and it's very noteably fast. We did some statistics with own cloud. They promised PHP 7 is twice as fast as PHP 5.6. It's true, it's really true. For own cloud, it's definitely true. It'll be twice as fast. Red is another cache, make it also faster. So I'll talk a little bit about those as well. Red is more on the high end, although I found it surprisingly easy to install my two-person system, which is useless. Yes, well, officially supported, you know, that's a big word that makes it almost sound like you should run it in your company. I run it, it works fine. On the Raspberry Pi, I would certainly do it, because hey, twice as fast, right? But I believe at the moment, the calendar app has a problem with it, which is kind of a downer for a lot of people. So like some of the apps don't work. The core is pretty solid, because we developed own cloud 8.2, which has been out for a couple of months now. We developed it basically while all our developers were happily playing with PHP 7 because it wasn't out yet, which means you need to run it, right? So that's pretty solid. For own cloud nine, you know, this official thing will probably be slept on it, yeah? So yeah, it's worth trying, but there are one or two apps that don't support it. So, you know, your mileage is very, keep asking questions by the way. Totally cool was that. Okay, so I'm gonna talk about the small setup of one server. I mean, this would be like, if you take a dual core system with 16 gigabytes of RAM, which is a beefy server, but nothing totally special, following the recommendations I'll give you, you can run for about 150 users without breaking a sweat. So, and that means these users running like the client and multiple devices right, so the clients are hammering the server every 30 seconds or every 15 seconds. So don't underestimate the load that 150 users generate because they all have multiple devices, their phone, their phones, their tablets, their desktops, et cetera. So that's all work for the server to handle. And of course, they all wanna send public shares to customers or to other people to fund. So with Apache, use mop PHP. And again, I'm gonna just stay simple to Apache and MySQL. As I said, if you grow this system in the future, if you now are on MySQL, that means in the future you can move to a Galera cluster, which makes a lot easier to keep your database performing. For backups, now the normal way of doing a backup is that you stop on clouds, you put in the maintenance mode, that means it won't work for the users. Then you do a database dump and you do the backup of the data. And then you restart everything again.  The neat trick is to use Butra-Vez.  Now you do the database dump and make a Butra-Vez of the database or of the data. And that's where you don't have any downtime. And obviously the same goes with Butra-Vez if you use that, but then you're probably not running Linux. Another tip though, if you do use Butra-Vez, make sure that the database is on a partition that you have mounted with no data COE, so no copy on write, because that will kill your performance completely. Now if you, I don't know how many you guys know about Butra-Vez, but the way it works is that every time Butra-Vez writes a file, let's say you have a picture and you just change the metadata, it doesn't just change the metadata, it makes a copy of the whole file and put it somewhere else. That's good, because that means if you later wanna go back and undo the change you did, well, the original file is still there. And for an SSD this is fine. Also in terms of performance. If you start doing this with a database which makes hundreds of thousands of tiny changes all the time to one very big file, you can imagine that this is not a very smart tactic to get decent performance. So for databases you should always turn that off either on a partition or you can even do it on the file level. Another tip is to put local session management in a tempfs, so PHP on cloud just uses a session management from PHP and PHP has a folder designated on your system where it stores session management. I don't have it out in my head, but you can look it up in the PHP.ini file, what folder it is. We have it in our documentation as well. But it's smart to put that on tempfs because then it's a memory, it's a lot faster and there's no need to store that stuff because if your server would crash, well, then it's not like those sessions are gonna be reused on the next reboot anyway. So for memcache, you should use it and just use the APCU. So the upfound PHP cache, let's version. That's relatively easy. Well, it's actually very easy to install and you just tell on cloud in the config file to use that as far cache and you've got a pretty massive speed up for basically no work. This doesn't work clustered and if all these 150 users have a folder that they have shared with them, so actually we internally have our own cloud and there's one message shared folder that all the employees have access to and that everybody puts most of their stuff in aside from the private files they're working on. In that setup, you have a lot of file locking going on and it might be good to then actually use Redis which is a cache tool that you can install to Google it to use that for the locking, for the file locking. So you can say in the config file like I use Redis for file locking that'll keep that, well, fast. Okay, let's go a little bigger. So if you split stuff up now you get a little more of a serious system here, right? I mean, we're talking about two to four application servers. You know, you would put, unless you're trying to do this on a banana pie, you would then give them four cores, maybe 32 gigs of RAM. Two database servers here, also a lot of RAM, probably even 64 gig each. You put your storage on external storage so like NFS or S3, something like that. Use LDF for authentication and then you have a couple of web servers that actually handle the incoming user requests. So on those, again, you need to put the session management in tempFS, especially now because now performance becomes even more critical. And then you have an HA proxy which basically does load balancing between the two to four application servers. So in this setup, you can get to, yeah, let me see what are the numbers I attached to that. Well, I put those here. All right, so this is the setup that can go to a thousand users quite easily, right? And 200 terabytes of storage. So going back to the details, so the setup was in hardware, I just went over that. So the setup that you do for load balancing, you use HA proxy, the SSL terminates there with sticky sessions. I mean, again, this is all documented so you can loop this up as well but those are the settings that you use for HA proxy. And the database do MySQL and as I earlier said, use Galera. So use this in the master slave.  And that way, you have no downtime at all. And then you just turn the master slave replication on again. So it's more of a backup than you really are using it for a lot of data storage. LDAP, yeah, you can put a read-only slave on each of the application servers so they don't always have to go to the main LDAP server but just for updates and changes that will give you a lot of extra speed. And then there's the reddish side of things. So now it's a good idea to use reddish for the locking and APCU for the local cache on the client themselves. And NFS, well, yeah, it can be set to less storage. I mean, you can spread it out. I mean, it's a dark storage, right? As I said earlier, you keep that side of things outside of own cloud itself. Now, I'm not gonna go deeply into this one because that's where it gets really fun, right? I mean, now you're talking about 5000 users to 100,000 or more. We have such deployments. And here, you have set the bytes of storage perhaps. Again, this is what the certain guys do. They have a very complicated setup but they also really deep, they have replaced parts of own cloud with their own storage solution. So we have a, that's coming out in own cloud nine. The storage system allows you to hook really directly into like your own unique storage which for high performance situations can make a big difference. And then, yeah, you get perfect high availability and all that. Now, one cool feature that you should use here, and that's what a lot of bigger deployments do, that's also why I said you go to about 100K, maybe 150, but if you want larger deployments, we actually don't recommend to try to have it on a single instance. So this is where Federation comes in. I talked about it a little before. This is where it gets really cool. So own cloud has this ability where you can connect different own cloud servers with each other. Now, let me go back a little bit. Think about Dropbox. There is one or multiple big data centers where all files are and all storage is. So if you want to work together with another Dropbox user, you need to have a Dropbox account on that same Dropbox cloud thing, essentially one server. And even if you would run an own cloud and you want to work with somebody else, well, you can give them anonymous links. As I said earlier, they are pretty powerful. But still, when push comes to shove, if you really want to work together, you would need to give them an account on your own cloud that keeps everything centralized. It's also cheap. I mean, this is the model of software as a service. I mean, it's nice. It's used in a lot of places. It's fancy. But it can also be slow because your data can be far away. Now, own cloud, of course, gives you the private cloud thing. Everybody can have their own little cloud with a couple of users that can work together and can do all their things, full control. The thing is, if you want to work with somebody on another own cloud server, then you need an account on the other server and soon you have 20 accounts and it makes no sense, right? So this is where Federation comes in. So we developed an own cloud seven technology called server-to-server sharing. And you could create a share and send that to somebody else and they could add it to their own cloud and they would basically then mount your own cloud as external storage in their own cloud and they could just then use that as a folder just like it would be a Dropbox folder or anything else. This is really cool. Now, we've been adding a lot of functionality to that and then the upcoming release and already in the current release, you can quite easily share files and you can even find users. So you can connect two own clouds with each other and then it will even auto-complete users on the other own cloud. So it'll really be like you're on the same cloud. So if you have a deployment for half a million users, which they have in Germany, in Northern and Westphalen, which is the biggest province in Germany, you have five universities, six, I think all the universities in Northern and Westphalen, how many that are B, I don't know. But they all run their own own cloud server. That means they are all still in charge of their own data and they can have their own access policies. Those are little circles around everything. They have their own rules. They say, look, we don't want this student to work with these files. You can say, look, these file types are not to be accessed by this group of people. People in this location can't have access to that. You can say, look, we have files that need to stay in Europe and not allowed to go to the US, but it can go to Australia. All these policies, you can then apply on your own server, on your own data. But at the same time for the users, they don't notice that they're working on a cluster of five, six, seven, completely different independently controlled own clouds. They just type the name of the person they want to share something with. It gets shared that our person can download it and sync it and nobody ever knows that there's something going on down there that there are differences, that means managing different servers. But this is really cool technology that we're developing. So this is pretty much a scalability part of things. I have a few more things, including the Raspberry Pi to go to, I also don't know how much time do I still have, 10 minutes, right, excellent. Well, if you already have any questions, then this is not a good time to shoot in my direction. That's us, by the way, at the TU Berlin, which is not our own couch user. They gave us location for the conference already for a couple of years, really cool. Yes, yeah, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. There are a couple of unofficial ones as well in various places. Silphish, I believe, has one, but yeah, yes. Yeah, if you start to layer it, you want to break it, right? Yeah, you can nest it. I mean, obviously there's a point where things will start to break down and become difficult, et cetera. In theory, you can go pretty far. I have a couple of, I mean, do we need to stop? Oh, sorry, yes. His question was, of course, can you nest all these sharing between servers and, you know? I mean, hey, go ahead and try to break it, right? I mean, it's actually one of the things CERN, so CERN, they really are big on-cloud fans. They developed a tool called Smashbox, because their own on-cloud instance is called CERNbox, and then Smashbox, Smash is CERNbox.  So they found quite a few weird things, because, yeah, you can do really interesting stuff with layering and sub-layering. So, well, they made this open source, because, you know, their research institution and what they do is open source. So now we're actually using CERN Smashbox since about a year to test on-cloud ourselves. It's a nice piece of collaboration which has made a lot of things a lot more of boost, but it also forced us to simplify a number of things. Like, one of the things, and I think that's coming in on-cloud nine, is that when you share a file with someone and then that person shares to a third and that to a fourth and, you know, you go back and you go around and around, you could do that then with the older on-cloud releases, but obviously at some point it's gonna do weird stuff and break. So in on-cloud nine, we basically flatten the hierarchy and if you share someone with someone, something with someone and you allow them to re-share, so when they re-share, it effectively looks like you share to that third person and you are the one who has to un-share it if you don't want that share to be there and if you stop your share to the second person, the middle person, then that third share is still there because it's a separate share that came from you because otherwise you can get these circular shared things and we just flatten the whole hierarchy and I think with server to server sharing you have similar things and we flatten things. Like for example, I already know in the current on-cloud release you can't put a file in a folder that's shared with you by someone in the folder that you shared with them. I mean, these circle of things are now basically it says, look, you can't do this. Sorry, we wanna avoid breaking stuff. Yeah, three. No, I'm not familiar with the RBD, so we asked if we had that place of that on the pie. No, we haven't. So this is a little bit of this federation and action. There is a project, I didn't even put the name here, but it's called Open Cloud Mesh and it's an intercontinental collaboration of research institutions and universities in the U.S., Europe, and Australia and they have all their own cloud instances connected and are working together. All these researchers use an own cloud to share their data and they are working hard on extending this. There was a conference last week in Switzerland which was technically a cloud file sync and share for research institutions conference. But in reality, I think 18 of the 19 presentations was about own cloud, so they kind of settled on the solution. And yeah, they're gonna go big on own cloud, which is really cool, I think. We also have some really big installations in Brazil and India that we're, well, we actually don't really know what they're doing there exactly, so we're trying to get in contact with them, figure out. But there are some really big installations out there with like up to millions of users even. What's missing a bit here is a slide on the Raspberry Pi device, which should have been here. Yeah, exactly, because this is like a very empty slide. So I will just do that, well, with the device itself. So a couple of weeks ago, Western Digital sent us an email and they said, look, we have this project which is called the Pi Drive. And what it is, let me take this out, it's a package you can buy, it's already available. And you got this, you got a one terabyte hard drive and a couple of cables and SD card. And then you buy your own Raspberry Pi and you stick it here in the back, so this is, you know, you can have a nice case for it. And this case, by the way, is also available for 3D printing if you want to make it yourself, you don't need to buy it from them. Really cool, right, point for Western Digital. And with that, you can make your own like, you know, media server, Kodi or something at home.  So I think that's really nice. So they came to us and he said, you know, that they had been experimenting with various software to run on that thing. One of those was obviously, you know, XBMC or Kodi these days, but they also had been experimenting with OnCloud. And they thought it was really cool and, you know, I mean, Western Digital need to sell hard drives. OnCloud tells people that they can host their own stuff at home, and that's made in heaven, right? So now we're working with them on a project where the plan is, in a couple of months, if it's done, to make available in the Western Digital Store a OnCloud branded and pre-installed device kit, which you can buy for about 70 bucks, which gives you a one-parabyte hard drive and a box with a nice OnCloud logo on it, et cetera, so you can build your own OnCloud at home. So we are working at the moment in the community project because this is not company, this is just volunteers in a free time, so, you know, I can't make too much promises, especially because I'm not one of the people building it, other people doing that. But the idea is that we're gonna put, yeah, a set of software together. At the moment, we're playing with Ubuntu Snappy among other things, because that's kind of like interesting technology. And then we're gonna create an image that Western Digital is then gonna give to people together with a little manual as part of that retail package. Yeah, and then you can buy your own OnCloud from Raspberry Pi, so you still have to get your own Raspberry Pi and put it all together, but that's five minutes' work, it's just plugging in the USB ports. It's very nice hardware, you can see it in action at our booth. This is actually 3D printed, because that's like the cover on top to make it completely, you know, family-friendly, but it's still a 3D print model, so I have to figure out if we can really do this. Yeah, it's all very clever, I think, really interesting. So if you're interested, come drop by the booth or just look me up. I mean, I'm done, I think my time is over, and honestly, I don't have that much more to say. So there you go.

Oh hey, I'm Patrick Short and I'm teaching a learning journey at the Applied Improvisation Network Conference coming up in Vancouver. It's an all-day learning journey on a Thursday. Little bit about me, I've been doing corporate training using Applied Improv since 1989 when I was two years old. I've also been to 10 AAN conferences and done I think three learning journeys before and they've been really well received. But enough about me. What would you want to be in this learning journey? Are you somewhat new to Applied Improv? Are you somewhat new to doing corporate work? Are you not comfortable doing corporate work? Do you want to learn a pile of games? Do you want to learn how to plan a little bit? Do you want to learn how to reflect in a variety of ways? We're going to play games and we're going to wear two different kinds of hats and if you don't like hats, find a different analogy because we're going to wear participant hats and reflect that way, then we're going to reflect as facilitators. It's a lot of fun. We're going to have collaboration, inspiration, gratitude and fun that's even on my t-shirt and I hope to see you there at the learning journey on Thursday at the Applied Improvisation Network Conference in Vancouver.


Disappointing exit for Everton, if truth be told didn't turn up really tonight I think we just ran out of steam, simple as that. That is the worry with this squad, it's got injuries in it now and it was never the biggest squad anyway or the strongest squad. And it just looked like a team that had given everything in the last few games and just couldn't get themselves fully up for it, fully in the zone tonight. But that's football isn't it? All that being said we still had enough chances to win the game and we had an opportunity from the penalty spot with Armadur O'Nana to put us into the semi-final and he missed it. And this maybe, well it would be a very different video because it would be a jubilant video wouldn't it? But I would still be saying the same thing, we didn't play very well tonight, we looked short, we looked tired. And I think I don't agree with Armadur's formation tonight with the players where he played them out, I think he should have played three at the back but hey how. Let's talk about the Carabao Cup, point one, the League Cup, the Milk Cup, the Rumbolos Cup, the Little Woods Cup, the Wellington Cup, all of those names and it's all brought evident zero luck. We have been shite in every one of them. Whenever we look like we might do something it falls away, it's snatched away from us. You know we got to the quarter-finals in Covid of this, we got united, we were beating the gooders and we got to the quarter-finals in 2019 of this, a home to Leicester. We got it a two goal deficit back to two-two with a great goal from Leighton Bains late on and lost on penalties. We've gone out to like the Southampton penalties on this in recent times. We went out in the semi-final against Manchester City when we were three one up in it and done that. We've been beating in the semi-final of it by Chelsea. It's just been a terrible competition, let's be honest. We've lost in two finals, we've had moments where we looked like we could go far in it and do well and we haven't turned up. When we've had an opportunity even tonight to get through, you can't ask for more.  Hit it nice and solid, like Tarkovsky did, right down the middle and send you into the semi. Lo and behold, he chooses a different route. He tries to be a little bit too clever, maybe a little bit too arrogant. The goalkeeper guesses and then it looks like an awful penalty. If he goes the other way, people might talk about him being cool. I wish he'd just smashed it. If the keeper saves it, he saves it. Nothing you can do about it.  But this competition hasn't been kind to Evan. It's never been kind to Evan. I don't think Evan will ever win this trophy. I don't. I think we could have the best team in the world and something that would go against us. It just feels like it's always waited the other way. But that's the way it is with it, isn't it? It's just one of them cups and we just have to get on with it now. We're out of it. It means in January we are able to try to manage the squad a little bit better. But another disappointingly cut the feet for the Blues. And I've just mentioned January there. That's gonna lead me on to my second one. Please excuse me, I am full of cold. My eyes look like bloodshot and all that stuff. Shake it off before Christmas. Into January, Evan simply have to strengthen the squad in January. I don't know how that look and I'm sure there won't be any money to spend in terms of buying players unless Evan sells someone in January. So I think you'd be gonna be looking at a couple of loans and Evan need it. The manager needs to be given some better tools to work with. There's no midfield options. You know, we've got the Cora, it looks like now for a month. Even with him, there was one option when we needed another one. And Zygomas, quite clearly isn't an option. He played at 21, 90 minutes for the 21s on Friday. He played an hour the game he fought and he wasn't on the bench tonight. This was the perfect game to put him on, or to add him on the squad rather, to give yourself options. Quite clearly he's not up to the manager's level. Deli, who knows, doesn't seem like he's about to march back into it either right now. So, therefore, we don't really have any other option. And I think that's what Kevin Felwell and Sean Dytigon are going to have to come up with. What are the options? Where are players who we can get in January who are going to give us a real help in hand and are going to be able to give us those legs and get us through? Because we need it, we haven't got enough in the squad. There's not enough legs to be able to piece it together. When we've got all of our players available and the subs today, we've done alright. We've proved that. We've got 26 points so far this season. We're mid-table without the points deduction. So, quite clearly we are well organised. We've got goals in us. But when the games come thick and fast, and this was always the worry for December, where are the people to help us out? And we just don't have them. And that's where the January window is going to be massive for us. There must be a couple of players we can get in in January who will just give Sean Dytigon that extra little bit of comfort. When he looks at the bench and he thinks we need to mix something up. When I'd like one of them to be a ball player in the field player, someone who will get on the ball, just be a little different to what we've got. We just haven't got that in our squad. We haven't got someone who's... And I don't know how, where you can get those players, and you're ready to be honest, but without buying them. But there must be some big clubs you've got, players sat on benches who you can bring in. You know, I wonder if the city you've got, and all the players sitting around who we can get in and help give the squad a touch. You know, a wide player and maybe a centre mid, something like that. I think it would make us give us what we need to go through till the end of the season. But we definitely need a centre in January. And then the third point is better, come off the bench tonight. Thought he made a difference, scored a key goal for us. Put the effort in, made a great tackle in our box. Newton's value is there because he's all arms and legs. And he gives us something different, certainly to what Don does. He's not as tight with holding the ball up the way Don is, and he's not as good in the air. Not to say he can't win at us because he's a big lad, he will win at us, but not the way Don does. But he does like to get in behind me nearly. Got him in a couple of times round the corner, and that should be a ball that we look for more and more. And I think it's key that he's scored against Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. And he's come up with another big goal tonight, albeit it hasn't really meant anything in the long run, because we didn't win the game, but he got us to penalties, he took the first penalty, it was a good penalty as well. And he come on and contributed tonight, and I think that's key. I think we've seen him of late. We've played the forest, we've seen him, like I've just mentioned coming on against Newcastle and getting that third goal for us, he's come on against Chelsea. He's the one who we're looking to to give us something different when he comes off the bench. But I think we've got to use him a little bit better as well, get him in round the corner with those passes. Try and thread him through, he wants to be played in on goal. I think that is a little bit different to Dominic, and if we can keep him developing the way he is, give him more opportunity to thrive. I think we get, we end up with two very useful strikers. And then obviously you've got young youth of Chimity who's stripped and ready to come on actually before better equalised. It would have been interesting to see who the manager would have replaced with Chimity. But I'm delighted for better, I'm delighted he scored tonight. I don't think anybody wants it more than better, I don't think anyone works as hard. And I don't think it means as much to anyone, but in the same way as it does to better ones. Probably because he's come in to the game late. He's obviously liked Everton, we know that, we know that story that he followed Everton. And that's brilliant, and it's brilliant that he's coming on and affecting it for us. And that's what we need, we need him to do that, we need him to develop. And if he can get us back to goal play a little bit tighter so it copes with this league better, then I think he will improve and he'll continue to improve. And near that, therefore, strengthens us. Can we get a more service? We have to. We've got to get him better service as well. And then he will score, he will score goals. So I'm going to finish on that high, I thought he did well tonight. I gave him a man o rematch because he did affect the game. He just shaded it from Paterson who thought he did well as well. But there you go. There are my three things, let me know what you think in the comments section. If you love good, give the video a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't. Have a good night. See you later.
